I was talking to a friend of mine, Katrina, last night.
What she said made a lot of sense.
Here goes.

Katrina - manood... manoodle... ma noodle! MASOOD!... i finally have brown friends!! haha britni says:
i think you're too mature for guys this age
Katrina - manood... manoodle... ma noodle! MASOOD!... i finally have brown friends!! haha britni says:
and then way older guys are intimated by your maturity
rach;; so fuck you, and your untouchable face. says:
that could very well be it, come to think of it

Some quotes I liked.

"If for one minute you think you're better than a sixteen year old girl in a Green Day t-shirt, you are sorely mistaken. Remember the first time you went to a show and saw your favorite band. You wore their shirt, and sang every word. You didn't know anything about scene politics, haircuts, or what was cool. All you knew was that this music made you feel different from anyone you shared a locker with. This is what music is about."
- Gerard Way

*in reference to some sappy love song on the radio*

"This song is so sweet it gives me diabetes...."
- my mom

" Enemies stab you in the back
Friends stab you in the front
But best friends don't carry knives. "
- Unknown

"It was one of those days when it's a minute away from snowing and there's this electricity in the air, you can almost hear it. And this bag was, like, dancing with me. Like a little kid begging me to play with it. For fifteen minutes. And that's the day I knew there was this entire life behind things, and... this incredibly benevolent force, that wanted me to know there was no reason to be afraid, ever. Video's a poor excuse, I know. But it helps me remember... and I need to remember... Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world I feel like I can't take it, like my heart's going to cave in."
- Ricky Fitts, American Beauty

"
Friendship isn't partying with a group of people to get drunk or chatting with him/her once a week, it's exactly the opposite. Friends make sure you get home safely and they help you when you need it, no matter the scenario. They don't care about what clothes you wear or what you look like, and they don't last for a day. Real friends are more interested in what direction your life is headed rather than your popularity. They care about what you have to say and how you feel, and once you meet this person you'll know it without having to think twice.
- Morgan Tang"

Are your palms sweaty, your heart racing and your voice caught in your chest?
-It isn't love, it's LIKE.
You can't keep your eyes or hands off of them
-It isn't love, it's LUST.
Are you proud, and eager to show them off?
-It isn't love, it's LUCK.
Do you want them because you know they're there?
-It isn't love, it's LONELINESS.
Are you there because it's what everyone wants?
-It isn't love, it's LOYALTY.
Are you there because they kissed you, or held your hand?
-It isn't love, it's LOW CONFIDENCE.
Do you stay for their confessions of love, because you don't want to hurt them?
-It isn't love, it's PITY.
Do you belong to them because their sight makes your heart skip a beat?
-It isn't love, it's INFATUATION.
Do you pardon their faults because you care about them?
-It isn't love, it's FRIENDSHIP.
Do you tell them every day they are the only one you think of?
-It isn't love, it's a LIE

Audio Books...for real.

I just thought of a wonderful new invention.
A book that also plays music to go along with the characters' moods, or the moods of the scene, etc.
Let me explain.
For example, in a scene with a lot of tension, a song with a lot of tension would play when the scene or conversation started. Or, when people were....having sex or something, some kind of love song could be playing, or even a song about NOT being in love, which would provide a sort of dramatic irony for the reader.

Or, in teen novels for example, when the kid is off listening to their angry music because they're pissed at their parents, the book and its words could be describing the person's thoughts, while the music describes their feelings.

Hmm, very interesting...
The only problem would be that so many people listen to so many genres of music, it would almost be impossible to coordinate music.

However, it was a neat thought.
