These are still funny

heehee

This picture makes me undeniably sad. It's been a year since the fateful day when the format called it quits. they called it a hiatus, but come on. 

Hiatus:Music as Lets be friends:relationships

The Format really did a lot for me. Whenever I talk about them I can feel people thinking all I say is some sweet hyperbole. But it's all relative. When I say they are the most amazing pop band, that change how you listen to music, that they are the best band you will ever hear, that they wrote an epic album, that is all true to me. Holy Ghost could have been amazing. I regret never going to see them live. I miss them so much.

I bought the new Morrisey album last night. What kind of hipster am I becoming?

whatever It's good.

I don't keep friends, I keep acquainted

I'm in love

Ugh

I finally got my blog to the perfect format, and one edit later POOF. It is GONE.

Dear Insomnia,

why do you come around here?

I hate not being able to sleep. I don't know what to do...there's only so long you can creep on facebook before, well, you start to feel like a creep. so what's? a girl to do? I'm still trying to figure this one out. Here's what I've come up with so far:

1. Read the Blogs at AP.net

Other than being my favorite music news site absolutepunk.net (the name is a little misleading) also has some great blogs. Some are staff, some are members, quite a few a really good. I recommend anamericangod . Sometimes his stuff is a little heavy handed, but the guy knows how to write. Also site owner Jason Tate has a pretty spiffy blog. Maybe next time I can't sleep I'll start a blog over there...

2. Watch sxephil

3. Check out tattoos online

Alright so when I get insomnia, I get bored, and when I get bored I look at literary tattoos. It's a strange little hobby of mine. There's this great site Contrawise that has a bunch of really cool tattoos to look at. I find it amusing how many people get Vonnegut tattoos. I am such a nerdy kid. Plus some of them are so horrible it makes me laugh.

4. Read John Green quotes. Be amazed.

5. Eat. Whenever I can't sleep I get hungry.

6. Post meaningless lists on you blog.

7. If all else fails, watch some youtube videos

I need better blogging skills

I L-O-V-E JUNU

JuNu who also goes by Julia Nunes is my hero. She is the reason I play the uke( I originally found her while searching for some Say Anything songs, and I didn't really like her. I only listened to approx. 2 of her songs and liked one of them. Idk I was a little bitter towards her fans for loving her so much. Later John Green was all"wefnjkdsj JULIA NUNES". I still didn't care much, but I dowloaded a few more tracks that were good...but I still wasn't completely convinced. Then when I saw her live, with John, in Boston, I was BLOWN AWAY. She is amazing)



everyone should listen to julia nunes.
Uke= best instrument ever (possibly)

I know it well

I haven't blogged in a while. Nothing amazingly notable has happened, with the exception of me visiting a neurologist, then getting another MRI. What is it with me and the medical world? I felt like I was finally free of it once my asthma left, then I got back pain. I finally get the back pain under control and my jaw dies. So they send me to a neurologist. Normal doctors obviously can't handle the eloquent way in which my body deals with pain. The neurologist thinks it's stress related.

I could have told you that.

But no, we can't risk the chance that they're is a growth or abnormality that could be causing this IN MY BRAIN. So I went into the tube of hell once again. This time the MRI itself wasn't that bad. I thought it was going to go over pretty smoothly. But no. That would have made my prior anxiety in vain. So they had to inject me with the colorant. Never before have I wanted to slap a doctor, but when MRI tech failed to find my vein, and then went on to kept wiggling the needle in my vein I was ready to kill. I had forgotten how much I hate sticking needles into my person. It reminded me of the countless IV drips I was on as a child, with all of my asthma/preemie related issues.I just can't get away from healthcare. It is the ever-present bane of my existence. My parents felt bad after I had to get the MRI/ injection that will scar my psyche forever, so they let me buy some music.
So now I am reveling in some new Bon Iver. The Blood Bank EP is amazing. I was worried that after 'For Emma' anything else he did would be too similar, and boring but this stuff is mind blowing. There are four tracks( Blood Bank, Beach Baby, Babys, and Woods) but the stand out track to me is definitely the title track. It's chilling, and the lyrics are beautiful. Woods completely shocked me, and was totally different from what I would have expected. The songs is composed of the same four lines repeated by Justin Vernon harmonizing with various auto-tuned versions of himself. Take note Lil Wayne; This is how you do auto tune. I highly suggest that people pick up this EP. It's the perfect thing for this time of year.
