Love bites

I’m a terrible blogger. Really I am.

It’s been a crazy past couple of weeks and I don’t really have anything interesting to report. So, I shall retreat to my last refuge of writer’s block: MUSIC LIST!

The theme: Songs to sing when a love interest has pissed  you off! Without going in to detail about my situation, suffice it to say, I’m an unhappy penguin.

So, let’s begin!

‘You Make me Feel Like a Whore’ by Everclear: My love for Art knows no bounds. ‘Some day I’ll teach you to beg’ and ‘Take your word like it was gospel, I’m so eager to please, yeah I like it when you talk to me’ are so very relevant to my current situation. As well as the chorus, ‘You make me feel like a whore.’

Thnks Fr Th Mmrs’ by Fall Out Boy: So, it’s a little dramatic given my situation, but I’m a drama queen so deal with it. ‘One night and one more time, thanks for the memories, even though they weren’t so great, it tastes like you, only sweeter’ sticks with me because I’m going to remember that one thing for the rest of my life even though it’s kinda meh right now. I figure with age and time I’ll look back and cackle like hell. Oh, and I like to jump on my bed and sing this song into my cell phone antenna.

‘Irreplaceable’ by Beyonce: I really hate her, but I do think this song will be this generation’s ‘I Will Survive.’ ‘You must not know about me, I can have another you in a minute, matter of fact he’ll be here in a minute,’ should be part of every woman’s repertoire. I’m currently working up the cojones to add it to my own. And to dudes who might be reading this: ‘Don’t you ever for a second get to thinking, you’re irreplaceable.’

‘Dammit’ by Blink-182: This anthem has served me well since junior high. ‘A day late, a buck short, I’m writing the report, on losing and failing, when I move I’m flailing’ and ‘And it’s happen once again, I’ll turn to a friend, someone who understands and sees through the master plan, but everybody’s gone, and I’ve been here for too long, to face this on my own, well I guess this is growing up,’ are pretty much me in all my immature glory. It also makes me realize that relationships don’t actually change from what they were like at 14.

‘Say My Name’ by Destiny’s Child: ‘You acting kinda shady, ain’t calling me baby, why the sudden change’ and ‘First of all, let me say, that I am not the one to sit around and be played’. To which I say, PREACH.

‘Miserable’ by Lit: ‘You make me come, you make me complete, you make me completely miserable.’ Well, every part but the first two.

‘My Friends Over You’ by New Found Glory: I hoped I’d never have to dust this one off again, but here we are! ‘I’m drunk off your kiss, for another night in a row, this is becoming too routine for me, but I didn’t mean to lead you on’ and, my favorite, ‘You were everything I wanted, but I just can’t finish what I started, there’s no room left here on my back, it was damaged long ago, though you swear that you are true, I’d still pick my friends over you!’ make me smile a smile worthy of the Kool Aid man.

‘Roses’ by Outkast: Yeah, he’s singing about a girl named Caroline, but I’m creative! I’d put a sample lyric, but I can’t without laughing my ass off so, go here http://lyricwiki.org/OutKast:Roses

I made an effort to stay away from sad bastard music because I firmly believe this is nothing to be sad about. One of the splendid things about life is that it goes on, no matter how big, dumb or foolish your mistakes happen to be.

    may i add one to the list?

    “unlovable” by darren hayes

    with those lyrics you’d think the song’s this slow sad stuff but the music’s awesome, kinda upbeat, pretty angry…i heart it.

    this song is a little deeper than the “arg you did me wrong so i hate you” stuff, but still, i LOVE this song. i’m feeling it SO much right now.
