For the past week, I’ve been what the kids call ‘chillin’ at home due to a lack of school. I’m not going to lie, sometimes I like having nothing to do, and for those times I beleive we all need a well picked soundtrack. So here for your enjoyment, is a compilation of songs that you should listen to when you’re just sitting around, chillin’.
1. At the Bottom of Everything- Bright Eyes
(Don’t be thrown off by the beginning shaky monologue about a plane crash, this song is a toe-tapper.)
2. Tire Swing- Kimya Dawson
3. Delicate- Damien Rice
4. Thick as Theives- Dashboard Confessional
5. My Moon My Man- Feist
(Feist, who you might know from the iPod commercial, is awesome. That’s all I have to say.)
6. Seed- The Academy Is...
(I just really like everything about this song, and this band.)
7. Message In a Bottle- The Police
(My boyfriend always sings this song, and the chorus is pretty catchy.)
8. Scar Tissue- Red Hot Chili Peppers
(You can’t go wrong with the Chili Peppers.)
9. Sunday Morning- Maroon 5
10. Young Folks- Peter Bjorn and John
(Have a fun time trying to not whistle this for a week.)
11. Can’t Buy Me Love- The Beatles
(Everyone needs at little bit of Beatle-mania in their lives.)
12. Mrs. Robinson- Simon & Garfunkel
13. Under Pressure- Queen and David Bowie
14. Heart of Glass- Blondie
15. On the Table- A.C. Newman
16. A Movie Script Ending- Death Cab for Cutie
(Pretty much my favourite band, so they had to be here somewhere.)
17. Songbird- Oasis
(I just discovered this song yesterday, and I think it’s really nice.)
"Would it kill you to breathe easy? Only seventeen miles lay between you and me. I could make it if I had to".- Thick as Theives by Dashboard Confessional

AWAKE: Still, no progress made.
Yesterday, as well as tonight, I’d been attempting to make this blog look decent. Apparently my strife is useless, because every ten minutes of trying leads to another botched attempt. When will things be put right?!
For now, I sincerely apologize for the hideous state of this page’s appearance and hope to find an easy compromise for myself, being so unexperienced.
On a positive note, I hope to go antique shopping tomorrow. And oh, how I love the Dictionary/ Thesaurus widget on my Mac! That is all.
I’ll have something more compelling to say tomorrow when I’m not half asleep.

EXIT: An Introduction
Hello Reader!
I’m not sure if that introduction sounded cheesy to place as my very first words ever written on this blog, but I’m not going to lie and say I had any better ideas to replace it.
So, how you have found this, or why you are willing yourself to read it, is none of my business. What is my business, however, is creating a wonderful link to procrastination for all people using this tool on the world wide web. What a thrill!
I was thinking for a long time of starting a blog, but didn’t know what to write about, because, let’s face it, I’m most likely not the most interesting person to read about. But about a week ago, it hit me. So here I am contributing to my own brand new blog which has a theme of everything. Wow, if that’s not specific, I’m not quite sure what is. Generally speaking though, most articles will be about music, just as a forewarning to the poor soul who does not enjoy music. Other articles could possibly be about: movies, books, current events, gossip, random but interesting stories of my life, cheese, and the list goes on with every article worthy thing that pops into that big brain of mine. I’ll always try to incorporate a ‘quote of the day’ sort of element into the end near my sign-off, just for an extra bit of added je ne sais quoi.
But just for the first time (as a little introduction) here is a brief compiling of nonspecific questions answered by yours truly, to give you a bit more to what I’m really ‘all about’.
1. Are you single? No.
2. Where do you wish you were right now? On vacation some place warm.
3. Who was the last person to text you? I have no idea; I never use my phone.
4. What do you want to be when you grow up? A scientist, or a preformer. God, I’m confusing.
5. How are things between you and your parents? Cool beans.
6. Do you ever wish you were famous? Only slightly.
7. If you were drafted into a war, would you survive? I try to be optimistic, but no, I think I’d be doomed.
8. Have you ever won a spelling bee? I came second. Stupid trough.
9. Are you drinking anything right now? Vodka. No, I lied. I’m not drinking.
10. Have you ever told someone you love them? Yes.
11. Do you bite your nails? Only as a awkward, nervous social situation habit.
12. What 3 things do you always bring with you to places? My EpiPen, my wallet, and some form of chapstick. Oh, the glamour of my life.
13. Any cool scars? Yes, the uhh lightning bolt shaped one on my forehead.
14. What’s your deepest secret? I don’t know. It’s even a secret to me. That’s how deep it is.
15. How do you feel about PDA? I don’t take part, but I can’t judge.
16. How do you like your steak cooked? Medium-well.
17. What’s the last thing you do before you go to bed? Pray. Think.
18. What was the last thing you purchased? A 24 box of Crayola crayons.
19. Do you untie your shoes every time you take them off? Most of my shoes don’t have laces.
20. Have you died your hair? A few times.
21. What would you do if you found a dinosaur egg? Let it hatch and then train it. Then ride it around town all like, 'Yes, this is my pet triceratops.'
22. What colour is your room? Red.
23. Could you go a day without eating? Probably not.
24. What are you reading right now? But Enough About Me. . . by Jancee Dunn.
25. Do you like life? Love it.
Right, well, I’m done with that. Hope your mind is now just swimming in amazing information to hold you over until next post. And now I leave you with this lyric from from a great song by one of my favourite artists ever.
