First of all: Wah! terryn23 is gone from OASOS! Wah! I have to keep reminding myself that I can still see him. He hasn't vanished completely. <.< >.> OR HAS HE?

Er, yes, anyway, I have an announcement to make. As of Monday, I am going to be working on my self-worth and self-esteem issues. 'Cause I sort of have problem with that. NOT THAT ANY OF YOU NOTICED. RIGHT? It hasn't been easy so far, mostly because I'm not quite sure what to do. I've decided to stop (or at least cut down on) self-deprecating humor. I think it's funny, but it might be unconsciously damaging. I also finally made an appointment with Sherri (my therapist), so she should have some ideas.

I borrowed the first two volumes of Hikaru no Go from the library yesterday. Yay for reading manga for free without any guilt.

( My impressions )

And now for a meme.

Reply and I'll give you a letter and you have to find five songs that start with that letter and post them to your journal.

wordsofastory gave me S.

Spring Street- Dar Wiliams

I can find a small apartment
Where a struggling artist died
And pretend because I pay the rent
I know that pain inside

This song has what may be my favorite line from a song ever "But I'll push myself up through the dirt, and shake my petals free. I'm resolved to being born, and so resigned to bravery."

Swing- Ani DiFranco

When I get my ass back on track
I'm gonna need it
Swing shift til I get the money
To buy me and my baby a moon full of honey
Then I'm gonna turn the nagging voices
Inside my head
That follow me to bed and say
You suck.. blah blah blah

This song contains another one of my favorite lines ever: "Are you weary as water in a faucet left dripping?" I feel like that a lot.

She's Saving Me- Indigo Girls

She's saving me I'm a very lost soul I was born with a hole in my heart
The size of my land locked travels
The sky pours out biblical rain
Then days so still the beauty gives you pain
The heatwave kills the green and she remains unseen
But colors up my dream with all things blooming
This is not all there is it's not a kingdom it's not an angry god
It feels like her

I had to include an Indigo Girls song, and this is a really beautiful one.

Set the Prairie on Fire- Shawn Colvin

I wanna cover every inch of you
Like ink on paper
Like the blind parade of souls
Consumed by religion
I can’t wait ’til I get you
In that defenseless position

This is a very, very sexy song.

Sakura Kiss- Chieco Kawabe

After all that folk rock I give you... perky jpop! You want the perky jpop. The perky jpop commands your soul. This is the opening song for the Ouran High School Host Club anime.

I notice that I'm always around you
But is it hating? Liking? Or just paranoia?
When can I see my feelings clearly
Lady or host, it doesn't matter
(The song is in Japanese. These lyrics are a translation.)

What did I learn doing this meme? That I have a lot more music on my computer than I realized.
