New Blood

This is what happens when the authoress drinks Red Bull AND latte.

If you can't read hiragana, it says 'Panda, teme wa baka yarou!'
Which of course means 'haha gotcha! Send me a message, I might consider telling you.'

The whole board was riddled with similar... outbursts.

My blood type is coffee.

Life Walks On And Music Tags Along

The world is ever-changing. What matters today might not matter tomorrow. That which causes heartbreak today might turn out to be a source of laughter two years from now. Nothing is permanent, except change. Does that mean that Obama will be here forever?? No, it does not.

But I digress.

Everything changes. But the one thing, apart from change, that will not ever go away is the need for music. We all need music to accompany our daily lives. Music is what feelings sound like.

So dear reader(s), without further ado, here's an update on my iTunes playlists:

(well... that was a fecking long-winded way to introduce this post, huh? Apparently there's still some blood left in my coffee!

...wait...)

MY PLAYLISTS (OLD):

Smart Playlists:

• All Japanese 133 songs

• Remioromen* 11 songs

* I changed the criteria. Most Played now only includes songs with a play count greater than 100.

** In my old post, I wondered why Remioromen had their own playlist. Now I know. It's because this band's music puts a smile on my face - that's why!

(Asian Kung-Fu Generation finally got their own well-deserved playlist)

Regular Playlists:

- <./.3 26 songs *
(As the 'name' implies, this is the remedy for a broken heart. It starts out with sad, angsty, 'woe-be-me' songs, like And All That Could Have Been by Nine Inch Nails, and then gradually progresses to angry, 'good riddance' songs such as My Happy Ending by Avril Lavigne and Over You by Chris Daughtry.)

* The playlist name is actually straight out heart emoticon with a slash in the middle. But somehow, it causes Blogger's coding to go haywire, so I had to put periods in between the symbols...

- B.A.M.F. 10 songs
(Simply put, this playlist makes me feel like a Bad Ass Mother F***er. Songs include Thoughtless by Evanescence, Ich Will by Rammstein, and so on)

- Comedy 4 songs
(Sound bites from stand-up comedians. Perfect for some smiles.)

- Dreary Overcast 5 songs
(Includes songs that make me quite sick to my stomach... Sick with a dreary, smothering feeling, that is. The Cure's One Hundred Years is here.)

- Pensive 12 songs
(The perfect playlist for when I'm pondering my existence once again. Gives me that chilly, peaceful feeling.)

- Soothe the Rage 28 songs
(I had to create this when a ***** **** **** in my English class infuriated me to the point that I actually considered homicide... This playlist is designed to calm me down - hence, soothe the rage.)


And that's that!

I love The Sandman. I'm sure of it now. I love it.

I'm going to start collecting the whole series. All doubts have gone out the window.

Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like "maybe we should be just friends" or "how very perceptive" turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. Nothing should be able to do that. Especially not love. I hate love.
