i heard “odd one” on the radio and really liked it, then was very embarrassed to learn that it was by sick puppies. still, i think the most embarrassing “band” i like enough to own an album of is tatu. yes, i own a tatu album. i’m sorry.

tatu

there are so many bands i love. ministry, smashing pumpkins, muse, radiohead… check out my facebook list for most of them, if you care to. however, as far as my favorite band, like, of all time? well duh.

skinny puppy

this is difficult. i love meg lee chin, and jessicka of jack off jill and scarling fame. also, heather of tapping the vein is absolutely awesome. but i think i have to give this one to…

chibi, the birthday massacre

i love maynard and all, but i think we all know the answer to this one.

also, i love this interview with him.

ogre, skinny puppy

pretty much anything by die warzau or front line assembly will make me dance. but when i discovered terrorfakt, i was all, “dayum!”

ebm and powernoize ftw.

(little bear just fell asleep in my lap while listening to this.)

terrorfakt – the fine art of killing yourself

this was the song that kept going through my head the day my mum died, and just kind of stayed there for a while. it used to make me literally sob every time i heard it, and i thought i was kind of over it, but even now i guess it makes me teary. coldplay’s “the scientist” kind of has the same effect, for the same reason, but this one still gets me.

gravity kills – Here [Mark Saunders Remix]

(apparently these will only play through fully the first time. will upload my own later.)

(okay, i’m already doing poorly at this. also, do listen to the song, but don’t watch the video, because yuck.)

this was really hard, because i have a lot of songs that i really love, but if i had to pick one favorite – and, apparently, i do – this would be it:

skinny puppy – worlock

The Honesty Meme stolen from dawna

Bold all true statements.

(more…)

colorgenics!

“The idea of togetherness, love, warmth, tenderness and mutual understanding fascinates you but you seem to be embarrassed by the thought of allowing this to appear openly. It would appear that you employ a cautious exploratory tactic in the pursuit of this objective, making sure that you are neither irrevocably committed nor found out.

Which ever way you turn you feel that you are being utterly thwarted. There is considerable conflict in the air but you will stick to your beliefs and not be deterred in endeavouring to attain your objectives.

All the problems that you have been experiencing of late seem to have become a part of your life and there is little that can be done to change the situation. Your emotions run high – but even though you feel as if at times you are about to burst this situation will pass. Try to release your pent-up emotions by participating in some extra physical activities like running, swimming, whatever. There must be some favourite pastime, not necessarily strenuous, that can help you to relax.

Your stress and anxiety are a result of an emotional disappointment. It could well be that the emotional relationship is no longer running smoothly and you have come to the end of your tether. On the one hand you would like to free yourself from this relationship altogether, yet on the other hand, you don’t want to lose anything nor risk the uncertainty of throwing away something – something that’s precious, something that could be the ‘Real Thing’. Perhaps for the first time in your life you really don’t know which way to go and it is these contradictory emotions that are causing you the untold stress. You are pretending to the world that you don’t care but even this air of pretence is causing you much heartache.

You are moody and depressed at this time but it will pass. All of your hopes and dreams seem to have gone astray and you are fearful of planning further for the future. Disappointment at the non fulfilment of your hopes and the fear that to formulate fresh goals will only lead to further setbacks have resulted in considerable anxiety and you try to escape from this by withdrawing into yourself. But that is not the answer. You have the power to succeed, believe in yourself… all is possible to him who believes.”

The Recipe For gish

3 parts Genius 2 parts Devilry 1 part Desire Splash of Warmth Sip slowly on the beach

What Gish Means

You are deeply philosophical and thoughtful. You tend to analyze every aspect of your life. You are intuitive, brilliant, and quite introverted. You value your time alone. Often times, you are grumpy with other people. You don’t appreciate them trying to interfere in your affairs. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It’s easy to get you excited… which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don’t stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are the total package – suave, sexy, smart, and strong. You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know. You don’t always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don’t have as much going for them as you do. You are truly an original person. You have amazing ideas, and the power to carry them out. Success comes rather easily for you… especially in business and academia. Some people find you to be selfish and a bit overbearing. You’re a strong person.

What Sarah Means

You are the total package – suave, sexy, smart, and strong. You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know. You don’t always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don’t have as much going for them as you do. You are usually the best at everything … you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic “Type A” personality. You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You’re always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can’t handle you. You’re very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you’re likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun. You are truly an original person. You have amazing ideas, and the power to carry them out. Success comes rather easily for you… especially in business and academia. Some people find you to be selfish and a bit overbearing. You’re a strong person.

i think “gish” is more accurate, don’t you?

stolen from dawna:

A Care and Feeding Q&A:

1. How can I tell if you are angry? oh, you’ll know. if i feel comfortable enough around you to rip you a new one, i will. or i’ll rant. a lot. if i don’t know you that well, the look on my face will tell you all you need to know about how i’m feeling. if you’re lucky, i’ll skulk off somewhere and stew til i get over it or write you a nasty email.

2. How should I behave around you while you are angry? leave me alone. just let me get over it. it doesn’t usually take long.

3. How do you want me to behave when you are hurting emotionally? (How is best to comfort you?) again, sometimes i just want to be left alone. i like moral support, of course. but if i don’t seem responsive, please don’t be hurt. it just makes things worse.

4. Are there things we should ~not~ discuss? you can try to discuss just about anything with me, but i’ll admit that if you get too pushy about certain topics, like politics or religion, i’ll push back, or quit talking. also, i do not like to discuss my chronic illness. i’ve been forced to talk about it before, and i don’t like it.

5. How should I treat you if you are physically ill? if i’m barfing or in pain, leave me alone. i don’t want to be touched, watched, or spoken to. if i have a cold or something, i get tired easily, so a little help with things is nice. don’t ask me to do anything strenuous or for favors.

6. What makes you happy? (that may be in my power to grant, as a friend?) stupid stuff makes me happy. things going around in microwaves (or orbiting around peter griffin), when cartoon characters’ pupils dilate, a nice breeze. what can you do to make me happy? be nice to me, send me links to funny stuff, etc.

7. How would you like for us to recognize your birthday? make it a national holiday? um, just remember it, i guess. drop me an email and say hi.

8. Are there any standing categories of presents that would be appropriate or unwelcome? not really. nothing too expensive…

9. Are there times of the year that are difficult for you? (please explain if you are comfortable.) october is bad, because it’s the month my mum died. which sucks, because it used to by my favorite month. i get a little sad between thanksgiving and christmas because, again, i miss my mum. summer months are difficult because it’s too fucking hot around here, but that’s not what the question means, i think.

10. Are there important anniversaries that we should recognize in your life? my birthday is august 21st, and my wedding anniversary is may 13th.

11. Who are the most important people in your life to whom we should defer when making plans on your behalf? don’t worry about it. surprise me.

12. What do you share with others? too much.

13. What do you NOT share with others? stuff about my illness. and, depending on who you are, anything to do with my sexuality.

14. How does someone become your friend? treating me decently. having a decent sense of humor is pretty important, too.

15. How does someone lose you as a friend? fucking me over or treating me with disrespect.

16. What scares you? driving, spiders, and the thought of something bad happening to people i love.

17. About what are you most sensitive? i’m kind of sensitive about my health. and, despite my general ability to be okay with myself, i still get sensitive about remarks regarding my weight. also, insulting my intelligence or calling me stupid is a good way to piss me off.

considering i’m an english major, i’m slightly ashamed of this.

i’m all about the tests today. i decided to check out similarminds.com, since i haven’t been there in a while. here’s the results from one of the tests:

Advanced Global Personality Test Results

trait snapshot:
messy, depressed, introverted, feels invisible, does not make friends easily, nihilistic, reveals little about self, fragile, dark, bizarre, feels undesirable, dislikes leadership, reclusive, weird, irritable, frequently second guesses self, unassertive, unsympathetic, low self control, observer, worrying, phobic, suspicious, unproductive, avoidant, negative, bad at saving money, emotionally sensitive, does not like to stand out, dislikes large parties, submissive, daydreamer

humph. i am not unproductive. but, aside from that, it’s right on.

1. Go to Career Cruising
2. Put in Username: nycareers and Password: landmark
3. Take their “Career Matchmaker” questions.
4. Post the top ten results

1. Artist
2. Translator
3. Archivist
4. Website Designer
5. Historian
6. Anthropologist
7. Microbiologist
8. Political Aide
9. Writer
10. Zoologist

i don’t see “librarian” on there anywhere. it didn’t even make the top 40. “archivist” is pretty similar, though. i always get “artist” as my top career choice in every career test i take. too bad i suck at it. too bad i suck at math, too, with regards to microbiology. still, the results aren’t too surprising.

You are Flat Sandals

Casual yet flirty You look great in a simple top and jeans Your look is approachable and cute!

You Are Not Prejudiced

Not only are you color blind, but you’re also ethnicity blind, gender blind, and sexual orientation blind. You don’t judge someone until you truly know them. And even then, you’re probably reluctant to judge. You try to treat everyone equally. Everyone has a fair chance with you. Good job – there’s not a prejudiced bone in your body.

i don’t know if i’d say that… everyone’s prejudiced to some degree.

There’s Not a Violent Bone in Your Body

You’re cool and collected, even when someone really gets under your skin. And while you don’t blow up when you’re angry, you know how to express your anger calmly. You don’t bottle emotions up or let them get out of control. For you, violence would never be an option.

i think sohei would rather i smack him than just walk away like i do…

What Your Pizza Reveals

You have a hearty appetite. You are likely to complain if a restaurant has small portions. You consider pizza to be bread… very good bread. You fit in best in the Midwest part of the US. Your taste in food tends to favor what’s rich and comforting. You prefer food that will definitely satisfy you. You are generous, outgoing, and considerate with your choices. You have many conflicting and complementary layers to your personality. You should consider traveling to Australia. The stereotype that best fits you is guy or girl next door. Hey, there’s nothing wrong with being average.

i really want a pizza now.

You Will Be a Cool Parent

You seem to naturally know a lot about parenting, and you know what kids need. You can tell when it’s time to let kids off the hook, and when it’s time to lay down the law. While your parenting is modern and hip, it’s not over the top. You know that there’s nothing cool about a parent who acts like a teenager… or a drill sergeant!

You Are Not a Gold Digger

You go out of your way to take care of everything in your life. Including money – which you’ve got plenty of, thank you very much. And you have no intentions of being a trophy girlfriend for some bald guy. Just make sure that hottie you met isn’t scheming to be your boy toy! As a successful woman like you knows, gold digging goes both ways these days.

Not a Jealous Bone in Your Body

You’re secure, trusting, and giving with friends and lovers And while you may have been hurt before, you’ve bounced back You’re generally happy with your life – and no one’s grass is greener than yours One word of caution: some may see your lack of jealousy as indifference!

it’s true. sohei thinks i don’t care enough about him to worry if he’s up to something.

You Are Mostly Secure

In general, you feel confident and together. But the wrong thing can happen, and all of a sudden, you’re not feeling so secure. Luckily, your insecurities don’t last long… at least, not usually. So the next time you’re feeling insecure, try to snap out of it – and remember the confident woman you are!

You Are Downtown

You’re a funky spirit that requires freedom to live. Your city girl persona needs adventure, diversity, and great pizza.

He is a Man

You have yourself a perfect gentleman and a total keeper Your guy almost always acts appropriately He’s probably even very upstanding when you’re not around There’s no boy left in your boyfriend – he’s all man!

well i should hope so. he’ll be 30 in a week.

You Are An Introvert!

You’re not necessarily anti-social, but you do tend to need a lot of alone time. You tend to think before you talk, which doesn’t make you the loudest person in the room. While you aren’t outgoing, you are a good listener – and you tend to be a loyal friend. And you enjoy your friends as much as any extrovert does, in smaller doses. You’re more of a conversation over dinner type than a party animal… and so are all your friends.

really?

You Should Wear Black Lipstick

Confident, dramatic, and unexpected. Your look: Gothic beauty Your signature lip gloss flavor: Ginger

again, really?

Your Mood is a 7

You’re feeling pretty good, but not perfect. Your mood is on the high side of average.

You Make a Good First Impression

You probably are making a much better impression than you realize. Social situations can be a bit awkward for you at times, and you tend to over think what you say and do. If you make a social faux pas, you remember it a lot longer than anyone else does. Just relax and do your best. There are little things you can do to improve your social image. Express more of an interest in the people around you, and be a good listener. The secret of fascinating people is that they find everyone else fascinating!

i’m not good enough at acting to pretend i find everyone fascinating…

You Are Picky When it Counts

Like most sane women, you want a great guy who will treat you well. But you’re also willing to put up with a few flaws in your Mr. Right You should congratulate yourself on having a realistic approach to dating. You probably have quite a few great guys you can date!

You Should Stay in Shape with Swimming

You require something that’s both serene and challenging. Swimming is the perfect way for you to do your own thing and escape for a while. Swimming will give you that perfectly toned, curvy body you desire.

yeah, or ddr.

Your Guy Is Not A Player!

At least, all signs point to “negative” What your guy is: straight up, honest… And a one woman man. This one’s a keeper – so hold on to him.

You’re Not Very Fit

And you’re likely to admit that exercise just isn’t your thing. Maybe you need to experiment with new activities to find something you love. Whether it’s roller derby or surfing, just getting out there and moving will do wonders!

really??

You Are a Skin Deep Sweetheart

You may be supermodel gorgeous or a plain Jane. It really doesn’t matter, because you’re confident and secure. You don’t go out looking like a slob, but you are low maintenance. You have better things to worry about than whether your nails are the right shade!

i just saw that there’s going to be an aqua teen simpsons. no freaking way.

Guys Think You’re Easy to Be With… But Not Easy

And you’re crafty enough to get away with it! But you probably wouldn’t cheat… (Unless the relationship was pretty much over)

You Have Him Totally Hooked

Your guy is all yours – and happily so. He loves being around you, and he totally sees you as a couple. It looks like you two have a great future together – if you want it!

He Loves You For You

When it comes to your body, your guy hardly notices It’s nothing to do with the way you look… He’s just has really fallen for you But make sure to stay sexy – keep the chemistry going strong!

after 12 years and 70 pounds, what do you expect?

You Are Cereal

Playful and lighthearted, breakfast is likely your favorite meal of the day. (In fact, you’re probably the type who sneaks cereal as a midnight snack.) Your culinary skills are probably a bit lacking… and you are a sucker for junk food. Some people accuse you of eating like a kid, but you prefer to think of yourself as low maintenance.

Your Superpower Should Be Invisibility

You are stealth, complex, and creative. You never face problems head on. Instead, you rely on your craftiness to get your way. A mystery to others, you thrive on being a little misunderstood. You happily work behind the scenes… because there’s nothing better than a sneak attack! Why you would be a good superhero: You’re so sly, no one would notice… not even your best friends Your biggest problem as a superhero: Missing out on all of the glory that visible superheroes get

You Are a Fierce Femme

You have a wild side, and you aren’t afraid to bring it out when the time is right. But you also know when to hang back and keep your “crazy chick” persona in check. In fact, some of your friends may be surprised to find out how far you can take it… You may look mild mannered, but it’s all an act!

What Your Black Outfit Means

You’re a sophisticated woman with big city taste. You have a strong creative force – even if you don’t wear the boldest clothes. You tend to intimidate people. But the right guy won’t be intimidated by you! Designer match: Dolce & Gabbana Signature accessory: Gold framed sunglasses

gold framed sunglasses? yuck.

yeah, i still don’t feel like writing my paper. and even though i finally ate something, my hands are all shaky. this sucks…

Your Inner Muse is Melpomene

You are most like this muse of tragedy. While you aren’t depressed, you don’t shy away from sadness. Although you do tend to be gloomy, you have a sensitive side. And this sensitive side helps inspire and help others.

You’ll Find Love at School or Work

You’re ambitious, and you won’t let dating get in the way of your goals And that’s why you’ll find love at school or work… because you’re always there Shy about dating someone you work with? Don’t be. He’ll be perfect for you. Just make sure to go out and have some fun together every once and a while!

…

i’m already doomed, so it’s quiz time.

Your Toes Should Be Black

A total rulebreaker (and heartbreaker), you’re always a little punk rock. Your flirting style: Wacky and a bit shocking Your ideal guy: An accomplished artist, musician, or writer Stay away from: Preppy guys looking for a quick bad girl fling

(that last one actually happened to me. not the fling, but the attempt. dork.)

You Are 31% Fake

The real you is something you embrace and don’t mind enhancing. You know that a few beauty secrets aren’t a big deal, as long as you look good.

What Your Latte Says About You

You are very decadent in all aspects of your life. You never scale back, and you always live large. You can be quite silly at times, but you know when to buckle down and be serious. You have a good deal of energy, but you pace yourself. You never burn out too fast. You have a healthy relationship with caffeine. You’re definitely not dependent on it. You are a child at heart, and you don’t ever miss the opportunity to do something playful. You are sophisticated and daring, but you are never snobby.

You Are Low Rise Jeans

You are both sexy and casual – the type of girl who looks hot without really trying. You tend to spark imagination, only showing a peek of your skin.

You Will Be an Unconventional Bride!

You’re probably the type of girl who never considered getting married – until you met *him* You’re not a big fan of white dresses, church weddings, or cheesy DJ’s That’s okay – you’ll do it your way… whether that means a Vegas wedding or guys as bridesmen While you may not toss the bouquet (or have anyone to toss it to), it will still be the most romantic day of your life!

fine, i’ll get back to work…

since i’m bored out of my skull today, i think i’ll revive the good ol’ random playlist meme, in which i randomize my playlist and share the first fifteen songs that play. i dunno.

You Should Rule Saturn

Saturn is a mysterious planet that can rarely be seen with the naked eye. You are perfect to rule Saturn because like its rings, you don’t always follow the rules of nature. And like Saturn, to really be able to understand you, someone delve beyond your appearance. You are not an easy person to befriend. However, once you enter a friendship, you’ll be a friend for life. You think slowly but deeply. You only gain great understanding after a situation has past.

You Are 32% Lady

You tend to make up your rules of etiquette, throwing all conventions aside. And while you try to be a lady (sometimes), your behavior is often quite shocking.

ugh. if all that is what it means to be a lady, forget it. i’m not a stepford wife.

What Your Soul Really Looks Like

You are a warm hearted and open minded person. It’s easy for you to forgive and forget. You are a very grounded, responsible, and realistic person. People may not want to hear the truth from you, but they’re going to get it. You believe that people see you as a bit small and insignificant. People pay more attention to you than you think. Your near future is still unknown, and a little scary. You’ll get through wild times – and you’ll textually enjoy it. For you, love is all about caring and comfort. You couldn’t fall in love with someone you didn’t trust.

You Are 64% Indie

You’re a very indie person, and admit it, you look down a little on people who strive to be normal. You’ll indulge in a little mainstream pop culture every now and then. But for you, anything not indie is a guilty pleasure!

i took the test sohei linked to (welcome back, sohei!). apparently, i’m a new aquarian, similar to autonomous post-materialists.

You Are 56% Cynical

Yes, you are cynical, but more than anything, you’re a realist. You see what’s screwed up in the world, but you also take time to remember what’s right.
