Sigh. I don't want to go tomorrow. Maybe I'll have my laptop figured out and I'll be able to get online and talk to all of you punks instead of the weirdo I'm bound to be roomed with. I just read the little packet about orientation, and tomorrow from 1-2 I'm watching an informative police safety video. Now THAT sounds exhilarating. The packet also says I should bring a backpack and waterbottle, so I'm kinda like wtf kind of a college is this? Are we going hiking?
Had a pow wow with a friend last night. Most of my friends sort of forgot I existed after they all began innerdating within our circle. I'm just...left out of plans etc. So Bill the friend confronted me about maybe-dating his friend etc, and was all "Nooo you can't" blah blah blah. I find it ironic that they all say we shouldn't date. He's been around while they were busy shoving their heads up each other's asses, and he's around because he wants to be - not because he feels guilty for ditching me. I think it's kind of obvious he cares more than they do. And I told Bill that. His response? "Yeah. You're right. I just realized what a terrible friend I've been lately." Bill is my best boy!friend. I tried to be nice and tell him it wasn't only him etc and not to beat himself up about it, because he would. He left about two minutes later to go to bed. So uh, that was a real sincere apology. Whatever. And for the record, I am not dating anyone and I haven't even considered dating Bill's friend. I just don't think it's fair that they feel like they get any say in what I do anymore because they left me after first semester.
Misha taaaagged me. And I'm going to go ahead and warn you that I don't listen to cool music. And I don't have any friends to tag, haaah.
List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're not any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying now. Post these instructions in your livejournal along with your seven songs. Then tag seven other people to see what they're listening to.
La Mer by Charles Trenet
It's in French, and it took me about a bajillion listens to understand what it's saying. I just think the sound of it in general is pretty...soothing. It makes me feel like I'm on the sidewalk next to a French cafe at night or something, hah. It's a classic, and the guy actually can sing. The lyrics are pretty once you know what they're saying (And with a love song, the sea has rocked my heart for life? Yes please).
Are We Dancing? from The Happiest Millionaire Soundtrack
Weee Disney. I'd never heard it, but I bought a classic Disney volume cd and it was there. It has a Cinderellaesque feel to it, very whimsical and in love type thing. People think Disney songs are just thrown together and are very shallow, surfacey things. Most of them are actually pretty well constructed, and some (like this one) have meaningful lyrics.
Carrying Your Love With Me by George Strait
No poking fun. It's a good song. I've been thinking a lot about leaving lately, for college and stuff..you know? And it scares me to be leaving all of the people that I love - family, friends, more than friends. So I've been listening to this often, and I kinda adore it.
Be Be Your Love by Rachel Yamagata
She has a different voice, this one. It's not different in a bad way, I guess. It's different in a good way. This song is really slow and kind of heavy feeling, but I like it. Always have. She sings it like she's really twisted and tortured inside like the song says, hahah. It's not emo, I promise. It's about loving someone you're not supposed to love etc.
Free Fallin by Tom Petty
Favorite song ever to drive to. I like to roll the windows down and scream it.
Black Horse and the Cherry Tree by Katie Tunstall
First heard this as Katharine McPhee sang it on American Idol, and I liked it right off the bat. It's become way popular around here now, so yeah. It sounds different than all the other popular songs at the moment, and it makes ... not much sense. I like the music behind her singing and the "woo hoos" a lot more than the actual song, haha. But overall, it's fun to sing to.
Rich Girls, Poor Girls by Everybody Else
Not many people know about them. They're a local band out of Los Angeles, and I've been a little in love with them for about two years now. This was their first single, and it has a neat sound. At first listen, they kind of sound pop. Then you listen again, and you hear more rock. You might notice a little punk the third time around. The lyrics are pretty interesting too. It's a good song to drive to. It's kind of loud and the music is all clangy but it doesn't clash, it works.
