"she's been skipping days, spilling her drinks down the sink, and you know, she's never coming home

I'm an over-achiever, it's true. Some might even call that an understatement. I regularly deprive myself of sleep in order to not only complete my homework, but to complete it to the best of my ability. I drink multiple cups of coffee, everyday (and we're not talking girly frou-frou coffee drinks here, kids, I drink real coffee). I've been known to ( Read more... )

I just discovered Regina Spektor last night when I was watching Subterranean on Mtv2....

Isn't she wonderful?
She's my new favorite thing of the moment.

ghost of a corporate future makes my heart do a little dance!

Oh, me too. I think she's pretty fantastic.

thanks for posting this. I might cite it sometime; lord knows I often feel the same way.

You're welcome, and cite away! Good to know that others feel the same way about it as I do. It's a love-hate relationship really, maintaining my love of learning while struggling to put up with the inanity that high school so often is (and, unfortunately, I think, undergrad is to degree as well. How I desire scholastic freedom!)

I must admit, though, I'm slacking off right now more than I ever did before. Part of it is definitely that they're not teaching me anything (other than math, ew), but I still should step it up. I have to get on the teachers and do make-up work soon, but I was thinking of waiting until IBs are over.

Have you listened to Jolie Holland?

I have heard one song of her's and I liked it an awful lot, but I haven't any of her music. Would you recommend her?
While we're on the music topic, I've been meaning to make you a mix for a while now, and I promise to do so as soon as I graduate and have a life again. Or, at least, after AP exams and such are out of the way.

I would, yes. I have one of her CDs but I loaned it to my friend Sarah about a year ago and haven't gotten it back yet - partly, I haven't asked, really (I get sooo uncomfortable asking for things back).

Anyway, that'd be fantastic - take your time, though!
