This is sort of all my brain is capable of right now. I went through the list of prompts and this was the least difficult task on it. Today has been long. Not bad. Just long.
I'll do a brief update I suppose:
Sunday night I went to my aunt's for dinner. Came home. Fought with my dad, went out with friends. Was out til 4am. Studied for a my midterm, they helped. Slept for 4-5 hours. Got up for class, took my midterm. Had a longer break than usual. Math class, got my exam back, got a B+.
Here is where things get weird:
Monday night, a guy friend of mine came over. We had something a few years back, but I think of him pretty platonically now. And he asked me to be his girlfriend. I said no. And he kissed me. And then later he apologized because I was obviously uncomfortable/confusued. My face was a wonderful example of a WTF-face. I don't know. But anyway, I didn't get in and in bed til 630am. I woke up at 11:30 because I had a doctors' appointment. Lindsay went with me. And as far as doctor visits go, that wasn't the worst I've ever had. Plus I got goodies, ha.
Anyway!
Here is the list, I'll include my favorite lyrics from each song... because I'm sure you care. =)
1) "The Yard"- Trolle Siebenhaar
Better watch you stay or you might get scarred
Try and run away, you won't get far
Listen to the rails, get the canvas down,
If somebody sees you, head on the ground.
That's how it goes in the yard
That's how it goes in the yard
2) "Cliche Guevara"- Against Me!
So can your pop sensibilities sing me the end of the world?
Turn gunshots and mortar blasts into a metaphor of how we are all the same.
Well there's a lot of things that should be said, (said) so we're hammering six strings,
Machine gun in audible voices, this is the party we came for.
3) "Archers"- Brand New
There is an ember in the heart of this kiln
and it's burning hot with love.
Burning out my center till there's nothing but dust
then rolling me with care into your cigarette
cause the God i believe in never worked on a campaign trail.
What did you learn tonight?
You're shouting so loud, you barely enjoy this broken thing..
You're a voice that never sings, that's what i say.
You are freezing over hell,
You are bringing on the end, you do so well.
you can only blame yourself, that's what I say.
who do you carry that torch for my young man?
do you believe in anything?
do you carry it around just to burn things to the ground?
4) "Against the Grain"- City and Colour
when all your friends
have come and gone
the sun no longer shines
the happiness for which you long
is washed away, like an oceans tide
when all the hard times, outweigh the good
and all your words are misunderstood
when the day seems lost from the stars
you must follow your heart
you must follow your heart
5) "Additcted to Love"- Florence and the Machine (cover)
You see the signs,
but you can't read.
You're running at a different speed.
Your heart beats in double time.
Another kiss and you'll be mine.
A one track mind.
You can't be saves.
Because baby, your love is all you crave-
If there's some left for you, you don't mind if you do.
You like to think you're immune to the stuff.
Oh yeah.
Its closer to the truth to say you cant get enough.
You're gonna have to face it,
You're addicted to love.
Might as well face it,
you're addicted to love.
5) "Next Girl"- The Black Keys
Oh my next girl, yeah
Will be nothing like my ex girl
I made mistakes back then
I'll never do it again
Oh my next girl
She'll be nothing like my ex girl
That was a painful dance
I got a second chance yeah
6) "I'm Good, I'm Gone"- Lykke Li
And if you say I'm not OK
We must go
If you say there ain't no way that i could know
If you say i aim too high from down below
Well, say you're not 'cause when i'm gone
You'll be callin' but i won't be at the phone
And i'm hanging around 'till it's all done
You can't keep me back once i had some
No wasting time to get it right
And you will see what i'm about
7) "Jennifer's Body" -Hole
You're hungry, but I'm starving
He cuts you down from the tree
He keeps you in a box by the bed
Alive, but just barely
He said, "I'm your lover, I'm your friend
I'm purity, hit me again"
With a bullet, number one, kill the family, save the son
Himself
Himself
The pieces of Jennifer's body
Found pieces of Jennifer's body
Found pieces of Jennifer's body
Just relax, just relax, just go to sleep
Just relax, just relax, just go to sleep
Now you're mine...
8) "Jaded"- Aerosmith
Hey j-j-jaded, you got your mama's style
But you're yesterday's child to me
So jaded
You think that's where it's at
But is that where it's supposed to be
You're gettin' it all over me and serrated
My my baby blue
Yeah I been thinkin' about you
My my baby blue
Yeah you're so jaded
And I'm the one that jaded you
9) "Here's to the Night"- Eve 6
So denied so I lied are you the now or never kind
In a day and a day love I'm gonna be gone for good again
Are you willing to be had are you cool with just tonight
Here's a toast to all those who hear me all too well
Here's to the nights we felt alive
Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry
Here's to goodbye
Tomorrow's gonna come too soon
Put your name on the line along with place and time
Wanna stay not to go I wanna ditch the logical
Here's a toast to all those who hear me all too well
All my time is froze in motion
Can't I stay an hour or two or more
Don't let me let you go
Here's a toast to all those who hear me all too well
10) "In My Head" -Jason Derulo (I feel like this is probably the most out of place song of the ten..?)
Just leave with me now, say the word and we'll go (we can go)
I'll be your teacher, I'll show you the ropes (you the ropes)
You'll see a side of love you've never known
I can see it going down, going down
In my head, I see you all over me
In my head, you fulfill my fantasy
In my head, you'll be screaming ohh
In my head, it's going down
In my head, it's going down
In my head, yeah
In my head, oh yeah
So those are the ten... It took longer than I expected.
And I had a bit of trouble picking my favorite lyrics for a few songs. >>
Anyway! School in the morning.
