Yay Insomnia!
How did you get into this band?
The Hush Sound: City Traffic Puzzle. I have absolutely no idea; I might've just heard about them and decided to check them out.
Favorite song by this band?
Evanescence: Bring Me To Life. Lithium or Call Me When You're Sober. Amy Lee's pretty awesome.
Do any of your friends like this band?
Desaparecidos: Happiest Place On Earth. Haha, I'd be rather surprised if I did.
Favorite album by this band?
HIM: Love You Like I Do. Probably Love Metal. It was the first I heard.
How many times have you seen the current band live?
Matchbook Romance: If All Else Fails. Never. I'm not sure why.
First song you ever heard by this band?
Pink Floyd: Vera. Nooooo idea. I was probably just born.
Have you ever seen this song live?
Yeah Yeah Yeahs: Dudley. Yes! They played it at BFD 2006.
What was the first song by this band that you loved?
Panic At The Disco: Time To Dance. I think it was this one, actually, or There's A Good Reason...
Favorite member of this band and why?
Goo Goo Dolls: Smash. John Reznik was my first celebrity crush, no lie.
Have you ever met a member of this band?
AFI: Girl's Not Grey. Nope.
Favorite lyric of the song playing?
The Beatles: Hello Goodbye. "You say why and I say I don't know!"
If you got to see this band live and pick 5 of the songs for the setlist, which 5 would you pick?
Queen: We Will Rock You. Oh Jesus. Dreamers Ball, Under Pressure, Bohemian Rapsody, Jealousy, Don't Stop Me Now. RIP Freddie.
What's one good memory you have involving the current band?
System Of A Down: Mr. Jack. Driving around with my brothers singing at the top of our lungs and generally having a good time.
Why do you like the band that is currently playing?
The Used: The Bird And The Worm. Bert McCrackHead takes risks with his vocals, and the writing is completely raw. And I might have had a crush on Quinn Allman for a few years.
Does this song remind you of anyone or anything? Why?
Alkaline Trio: This Could Be Love. This guy Mike in my Italian class last semester wants his first tattoo to be the mix tape off one of Alkline Trio's albums with the tape all strewn out all over the place. On his back.
Say something bad about the band playing right now. I dare you.
cKy: Dressed In Decay. Um... Bam Margera is a huge fanboy who exaggerates about the bands he loves?
How many plays does the current song have in your iTunes?
Scissors For Lefty: Wandering Arms. 10. I've definitely listened to it way more though.
What song would you like to hear this band cover?
The Killers: Mr. Brightside. Hmm, no idea. Some Queen perhaps?
What's the best part of the song playing right now?
Sons & Daughters: The Nest. Two words: Glasgow accents.
Do you have any inside jokes that involve this band?
...And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead: Witch's Web. My brother thinks this is the most hardcore name ever, and the only good one that's a full sentence.
What is the song playing right now about?
The Eagles: Try And Love Again
What are your top three favorite songs by this band?
The White Stripes: Passive Manipulation. Seven Nation Army, Union Forever, Icky Thump
What's your favorite lyric of the song playing now?
Led Zeppelin: Immigrant Song. I can only ever remember the first line.
What was the first song by this band that you loved?
Nirvana: Heart-Shaped Box. This or Smells Like Teen Spirit, I think.
How many times have you seen this band live?
Iced Earth: Melancholy. Never, but it would be EPIC.
How long have you liked this band for?
All Time Low: Let It Roll. *facepalm* Um... About a year, I think?
How did you get into this band?
JET: Rip It Up. C'mon, have you heard Are You Gonna Be My Girl? It's impossible for me not to love it.
Have you met any members of this band?
Sondre Lerche: Happy Birthday Girl. No, but I want to.
How many plays does the current song have in your iTunes?
Explosions In The Sky: So Long, Lonesome. 5
What's your favorite lyric of the song playing now?
Fall Out Boy: Sugar, We're Going Down. Wait, this song has lyrics? In English? "I've been dying to tell you what you want to hear, 'cause that's just who I am this week."
Marry/fuck/kill the members of this band:
Every Avenue: Think of You Later. I think Justine would kill ME if I answered this question honestly so.... nope!

Like An Unauthorised Autobiography
Just because I'm bored as anything but I don't want to write the paper I have to do, I'm going to post 3 lists of things I want/ asked for for Christmas.
#1: What I asked my parents for
-a long list of CDs probably only half of which I'll get (my dad thinks CDs are impersonal; I think he's forgotten who I am)
-bath stuff that smells like Cherry Coke
-a couple of rubber bracelets (it's a trend I've sadly fallen victim to)
-two books of sheet music, both by the Dresden Dolls
-scarves
-hats
-"iTunes cards and other gift cards are also good if you don’t like anything else on the list. Also contributing to my concert-ticket-fund and my tattoo-fund would be fantastic" (not getting any of that either)
#2: What I would never ask for or get
-World Peace
-end to World Hunger
-that purple Japanese-made stratocaster in the music store by my house
-Zack Merrick (or any sexy talented guy, really)
-a few corsets and assorted other wardrobe necessaries
#3: What I want but didn't ask for
-combat boots (I found a decent pair at Hot Topic for cheap)
-a bass amp (found a good one at the music store also for cheap)
-Applecare for the lappy
-a winter coat
I think I'm going to watch a movie and hope this malaise wanders off.

Two Things: Rambling in Waiting for Class
Well, three really, but the first isn't all that interesting since it's just me making a statement on, Jesus I never blog this much.
Thing #1 (or 2): I hate the foam that comes with lattes. It has no taste or substance and simply prevents you from getting more coffee (or tea since I just had a chai). But what I hate about it is how it sticks to the top sides of the cup except for the place from which you're drinking. Most people drink from one place out of a cup, but I can't when there's a coat of foam.
Thing #2 (or 3): I was happy to discover-- so happy that I broke an unwritten law of social behaviour and smiled to myself-- that I'm not the only person who smiles or chuckles quietly to myself when I think of something funny. A pretty girl walked by a few minutes ago smiling to herself, and I couldn't help but smile too. Why don't people smile more? It makes them more attractive and look like they're actually enjoying living. Gods forbid you do that.
Thing #3 (or 4, or fuck I fail at accurately titling things): People are leering at me a lot today. The guy behind me in line for chai was looking at me while he was talking to the girl he was with; no eyes in the back of my head, he was kind of to the side in line. The creepy old guy who usually sits at the tables where I sit was doing his job and staring at girls. I know we're not jailbait but fuck off dude, you're gross. Guy with really curly hair was staring at me about the first ten minutes after I sat down here; then he left. Hooray. Another guy-- I've seen him around, though I dunno why I noticed him-- with dreads made eye contact as he walked by; I looked back down at the lappy and glanced back up; he was still looking at me.
The guy who looks like a combination of Bryan Garza and Clark Kent sitting across the aisle and to the left was studying me earlier. How do I know, you ask? Well, give me a break, he's cute and has nice shoes.
I don't really need or want the attention here, people. Of course, I am sitting here in the sun with an orange beanie and bright red hair. I think I look good, but I'm schizo, so whatever.
Fuck I think I'm getting a sunburn.

A New Little Feature
Guys Who Should Always Wear Eyeliner
1. Pete Wentz: I have nothing against Wentz, honestly; to be honest, I think people give him too much shit. Yeah, he's kind of a whore, but I think he's earned it a little. But seriously. Go look for pictures of him on his honeymoon. The kid needs makeup, even if it looks like he hasn't slept.
2. Ryan Ross: Hey, you remember all the way back in 2006 when Panic At The Disco had an exclamation point, actually came out to meet fans, and Ryan Ross hadn't yet lost the rose vest, the fauxhawk, the eyeliner (and pretty much all of his stage personality)? Yeah, neither does anyone else apparently.
3. Billie Joe Armstrong: See the cover of and article inside the January 2009 issue of AP Magazine. Enough said.
4. Davey Havok (contributed by Siobhan): Is he gay? Is he straight? Is he a woman? These are some of the many questions people ask about the California rocker. He's had long flowing black locks, a near buzz-cut with random long pieces, that weird flippy spike thing... All I know is that Davey can change his hair all he wants, but for the love of gods, man, don't change the eyeliner!
