Tension.

It's sexy, right?

Stepping out.

Fuck the forecast because everyday is sunny.

I called it. Note the bold.

Punk is dead; it's just still bleeding.

MTV Live did a show dedicated to punk today. Kind of interesting, especially the segment on "black" punk, and the interview with Damien from Fucked Up. Damien gave a list of punk bands to watch for, and these are the ones I remember being mentioned.

-Mind Eraser
-Down and Outs
-Cold War
-Gallows
-Jay Reatard

I most agree with Minderaser, but as much as I enjoy listening to Gallows...I'm not totally convinced that they will continue to be relevant.
Anyway, Be Your Own Pet performed. Jemina Pearl is a complete asshole, but wow, I wish I were doing that.

For the best.

It takes more time than I have ever had
Drains the life from me,
makes me want to forget
As young as I was, I felt older back then
More disciplined, stronger and certain

But I was scared to death of eternity
I was saved by grace
but destroyed by naivety
and I lied to myself
and said it was for the best

My faith is replaced with a logic so cold
I've disregarded what I was
Now that I am older
and I know much more than I did back then
but the more I learn
the more I can't understand
and I have become content with this life that I lead

and I lie to myself
and say "it's for the best."

We're moving forward, but holding ourselves back
and We're waiting on something that will never come

All this time

I am finally ready.

In all the wrong places.

Got my hair cut today. I kept a lot of length, but one side is longer than the other and my bangs are short. I like it, I think.

Also, I have realized that I have huge features. Eyes, mouth, nose, cheeks. I don't know how I feel about this.

The Art of Romance.

The fourth best gift I ever received was my record player.

The third best gift I ever received was getting surprise tickets to Converge.

The second best gift I ever received was a mixtape. I make really good ones, and I can appreciate when someone else can as well.

The best gift I ever received was a song written for me. I guess I technically had two, but one was better than the other. It made me feel really shy, but in a pleasant way. If I were to have a song written for me instead of given "material" things for each consumer holiday or birthday, I would be a very happy girl.


Side note: I think there is a trend in the nature of the gifts. Try and spot it (because it is sooo subversive). Har har har.
