So uh, I'm getting a pg. 99 tattoo :/ ITZ GONNA B FUKIN AWSUM D00D!!!11!! No, but seriously, it's going to be fucking sweet. I woke up Sunday morning and I instantly said "Requiescat". I don't mean that word came to my mind or that I mouthed the word, I literally said it out loud to absolutely no one. That's a song by Hot Cross in case you don't know, I have no idea why that word came out of my mouth seconds after awakening from my slumber. O_o Just thought I'd add that...


*This band changed their name to "I Hope You Suffer". They're still amazing though!

Ramblings: Bored edition

Hmmm....haven't had a Rambling post in a while...or been to a show! But I'm rather busy with this hectic school schedule I've undertaken with some enthusiasm so...whatever. This is a ramble I guess...but I don't want to ramble....why do I keep using elipsis's? Or is it just singular, ellipsis...I don't know.


Ok for serious now, I'm listening to Logh (courtesy of Radiobutt, thank ya very much) right now, and it's fucking awesome, check it out! Also check out Radiobutt and Skream Your Lungs Out, great blogs for music lovers. I probably won't be going to any shows until during September sometime :( so uhh...yea. In the meantime I'll be on the SYLO forum, contributing and lurking >_>


I'll never understand the obligatory first-day-of-class-introduce-yourself-like-this-is-middle-school ritual that happens...I thought this was college. Then they spend the first week teaching you stuff you already learned or common knowledge (who needs to be taught how to write a research paper in college?) The shit is stupid.


Oh right, music blog. Ummm here's some stuff I've acquired recently that you need to listen to if you want to be TR00 1337 LIEK MEH! (Tell me if you want any of this stuff, sharing is caring people.)


324 - Rebelgrind

Anomie - Discography (1994-1997)

Asobi Seksu - Self-Titled

Betercore - Youth Crust Discography

Bob Tilton - Crescent, The Leading Hotels Of The World, and Wake Me When It's Springtime Again

Bonnie "Prince" Billy - I See A Darkness

Call Me Betty - Der Gini-Koeffizient

Gay For Johnny Depp - The Politics Of Cruelty

The Innocence Mission - Birds Of My Neighborhood and We Walked In Song


We talked about Johnny Depp in my french class :/


Off teh learn how to be a sheep in classes full of staring faces and judgemental looks.

(Whoa was I wrong, more Elliott (106) than Bright Eyes (88) and Joan of Arc (107) over Elliott by one...)
