"being a dick" or "let's just be friends"

Me 5:46pm
ive already told you my expectations

Him 5:47pm
Mmm I fail your digital expectations.
Resoundingly.

Me 5:47pm
digital?
well if youre referring to the lack of texting yes, i dont like it

Him 5:48pm
Communications-wise. My sleep schedule is arbitrary & this appears to piss you off.

Me 5:48pm
mine is too
but you must be awake at some points during the week, no?

Him 5:49pm
I sleep between 9-12 hours every two days.

Me 5:50pm
yeah
so
in theory you should want to text me of your own accord

Him 5:56pm
in practice, much of my day-to-day activities involve more serious issues than texting the fifty or so people attempting to communicate with me at any one time.

Me 5:56pm
ouch

Him 5:57pm
oh don't be so thin-skinned, I'm not being a dick.
just explaining I'm scatterbrained enough as it is.
keeping track of immaterial obligations like text messaging gets low priority.

Me 5:58pm
i have friends about to arrive. bye.

I will Come Back (Classixx Acapulco Nights Version) - Holy Ghost!

, originally uploaded by the five plus you and me.

Can we slow it down
Just for a moment, see
Some things never get old
Let us rearrange
We go perfectly
At least that's what I've been told

And your mother won't leave you alone
And your father won't leave you alone
In a minute things could change
At least until you get home
It's the middle of the night
That's my favorite part
Keeps me under the gun

There's a part of me
That keeps coming through
And I will come back, I will come back
To you

6th Nov-Dec ISO 100 39, originally uploaded by oColdWindo.

What a change of plans
I can't wait to see
What you come up with next
Point somewhere on the map
It's okay to leave
You can always come back

And your mother won't leave you alone
And your father won't leave you alone
So you book yourself a room
Where a video plays on a loop
It's the middle of the night, the night
That's my favorite part
Keeps me under the gun

There's a part of me
That keeps coming through
And I will come back, I will come back
To you
To you
To you
To you

I will come back

Heat and Hot Water (Passion Pit Remix) - ARMS

, originally uploaded by wemby.

Aah-Aah-Aah-Ooh
Dark never came
And we spoke in the sand 'til we ran out of things to say, oh no
When they served you on a plate
They were frowning and bowing their heads like birds of prey, oh no
I was taking my time when the stars aligned
You were holding my hand like a bottle
And it tingled right down to the tips and then it shattered our bones
I give peace when feeding the beast
Wherever we go
In the darkness summon an attempt to die alone
But all the people in the darkness
Cower in their beds and die alone
Aah-Aah-Aah-Ooh

, originally uploaded by Lelelerele.

Nightly attacks
Rip the meat from your back when you're sleeping warm and close, oh no
You've been feeding it your ideas
Even though it doesn't like the taste
And they burn, and they grow
While you're waiting outside on your sister's roof
For the light to stream out of the garden
I'll be lying face down in an empty pool
As the rain falls hard on the bottom
And we're wasting our time
If you cant be kind
I'll take the flashlight down to the basement
It'll swallow me whole

, originally uploaded by Maddie Yervant.

Blood on your face
You were born for the chase
Wherever we go
In the darkness
Coming soon to taking things as signs
Wherever we go
In the darkness
Growing fins and breaking limbs in time
Wherever we go
In the darkness
Nothing's going to ease your worried mind
Aah-Aah-Aah-Ooh
Aah-Aah-Aah-Ooh
Aah-Aah-Aah-Ooh

my most-listened to of 2010

I feel like this isn't an entirely accurate representation due to the high volume of remixes I listen to. Particularly, I feel like The Twelves and Miami Horror should be on there.

Sometimes, sometimes I don't know where I'm going (repeated)

So much in the dark that I can't see

We will; I will be gone (repeated)

i bet if i lay down right now i wouldnt wake up til monday

too much too much too much!!
and yet, really not enough.
i'd kill for some fresh, ripe pineapple
but i'd settle for a good nights sleep.

I can predict myself running through time

Just got this weird one from rcrdlbl. I love it so very much already!



Slowdance (Bear in Heaven Remix) - Matthew Dear

Here we go ruse, locked in the basement
I can predict myself, running through time
Jump in the wave, help me displace it
I can't begin to tell you that everything's fine

Someone has taken me
Into the fire and rain
It's like a potion
Unleashes fever
It's so strange

It's a precious head wrapped up and bound for Ghana
I can't be the one to tell you everything's wrong
It's like every bee sting tries to make my ears ring
Let them wash your face, man, and sing you their songs

the whole world is sleeping

I just had to post this because a) I like the song (just got it free at Neon Gold) and b) nobody seems to have posted the correct lyrics! To save this pretty tune from misinterpretations like "strung out" instead of "stronger" (and thereby hugely changing the meaning), here are the correct lyrics.



Back to Back - Wolf Gang

The whole world is sleeping
I still lie up in my bed
As I came 'round to thinking
That I don't want nobody else

I want to be with you
It kills me to say
That I want to be with you
That is just the way
It's just the way, now

Sleeping with my back to yours
Back to back, back to back we're stronger
Sleeping with my back to yours
Don't walk away, don't walk away

, originally uploaded by wemby.

The whole world is thinking
That I must be depressed
The point that they're missing
Is that I don't want nobody else

I want to be with you
It kills me to say
That I want to be with you
That is just the way
It's just the way, now

Sleeping with my back to yours
Back to back, back to back we're stronger
Sleeping with my back to yours
Don't walk away, don't walk away

Back to back, back to back
Back to back, back to back

Don't walk away, don't walk away

'til gone's another day

I first heard this song back in May from the urban outfitters playlist LSTN #2 (yes, that means it's free). When my computer died, I only had it on my ipod for the longest time and only played it now and then. I just got my computer back last week and transferred my music and remembered this. It's so deliciously ethereal and of course I love songs with sleep themes. It really reminds me of summer.

On a somewhat related note, I'm having a hard time with my restored music library. About a third of the songs on here are pop and hip-hop and other stuff from my high school years that I don't listen to anymore. Should I delete all of it? What if I one day want to listen to one song only to realize I deleted it? Isn't it a waste when I paid for all of this? But my iTunes is so cluttered! And so much of this is crap! But what if I'm feeling nostalgic and want to make a playlist of 1995-2001 dance tracks or something? What if I'm asked to dj some party where the kids are calling for Eminem? Help!



Half Asleep - School of Seven Bells

Sometimes I go whole days
listening bored, half asleep
I won't say anything
that's worth a thing to me One day,
Suddenly, time took a turn that once felt so brief
I blinked to see polite ghosts fading quickly

What begins as an unguarded
train of thought slowly can become
an addiction
to the slumber of disconnection
and the resonance of
memory that no longer has a shape
but keeps you numb
through the hours 'til gone's another day

Be aware, my darling
these things I say I mean
are just traces of something
I long to feel again I see
our time expand in the air almost forcibly,
spreading thinner 'til it dissolves completely

What begins as an unguarded
train of thought slowly can become
an addiction
to the slumber of disconnection
and the resonance of
memory that no longer has a shape
but keeps you numb
through the hours 'til gone's another day

Things I love in this song:
Holy Ghost! plus MGMT what a combo!
astronomy themes
guitar at like 3:20
pretty much everything



Of Moons Birds and Monsters (Holy Ghost! remix) - MGMT


Even a bird would want a taste of dirt from abyssal dark
The prick of a feather could make the kingdom burn and the bloodshed start
The falling apart

Why'd you cut holes in the face of the moon base?
Don't you know about the temperature change in the cold black shadow?
Are you mad at your walls or hoping that an unknown force can repair things for you?
Pardon all the time that you've thrown into your pale gray garden
If the ship will never come, you've got to move along

Even a bird would want a taste of dirt from abyssal dark
The prick of a feather could make the kingdom burn and the bloodshed start

If she's going under I can hold my breath till the sky comes back
Even a bird would want a taste of dirt from abyssal dark
The prick of a feather could make the kingdom burn and the bloodshed start
The falling apart
Made me a shadow in the shape of wonder, the waves of black
If she's going under I can hold my breath till the sky comes back
