1. Still pissed about everything. Hrm.

2. Morning emails have revealed that partial pissiness is not unjustified. This is enlightening.

3. Was thinking of cleaning the house today. Sounds good. I am dismantling my dining room work station and relegating the computer to the recreational slot of "coffee table." Hopefully this will convince me that it is not as important as I have made it. I don't need a desk. I don't have a job. I need a dining room table.

4. I had big long post about hip-hop, but you people don't find the same things funny that I do, and so this is how the comments would unfold:

a) I get a bunch of tl;dr about music. This is the part where everyone talks about what they are currently listening to (Sidebar conversation about Lady GAGA, and possibly a funny joke about Bad Romance=Barrowmance).
b) I get yet more recommendations that I listen to some shit music that I hate, bonus points if their name ends in Wainwright, extra bonus if someone comes right after and wither bonds with the music suggester or says something like, "HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE X WAINWRIGHT/COSTELLO/HUMPERDINK?" when I fess up about not liking them. (Additional, I also hate Simon and Garfunkel--this was the source of several bitter arguments in my household.)
c) Someone will make fun of my music, even though I would never make fun of theirs (to their face), but they'll do it in a passive-aggressive way that indicates that they are "just joking! I joke because I love!" when in reality they really do hate my music and they can't just keep their fucking mouth shut about it, because they think everyone needs to hear their opinions on everything.
d) Someone will mention international rap or something. Bonus points for mentions of Daara J or MIA, the flavour of the moment.
d) There will also be a fight about rap objectifying women.
f) Then someone will talk about white people listening to rap.

Then there will be race!fail in my lj.

So no, I had a funny ass entry about how goddamn masterful, faily and funny this song was, but you all ruined it before it began.

Being pissy has somehow removed the filter from my frankness pipe. I am sure that we are all nice people in RL, but the internet turns us all into cliches, including me, the woman with PMS who posts irrationally one a month and everyone on her flist rolls their eyes and scrolls by, mumbling, "Someday I'll defriend that bitch." I know because I do it all the time.

Also, I cleaned up my flist. Nothing personal, just different reading habits and a few dead ljs.

I guess you wouldn't have liked my April Fool's Day post last year. when I turned my journal into a Simon and Garfunkel bandom kink site...

Just post your musical ruminations and turn comments off, frustrating those who would recommend things you hate! :D

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Nah. It's okay.

and I have long accepted that I am a Simon and Garfunkel minority, and I have come to like "Cecelia" a little bit. It's like when people find that I have never seen Top Gun, and go "OMG WHY HAVEN'T YOU SEEN TOP GUN? IT'S AN INSTITUTION, YOU HAVE TO SEE TOP GUN." but more vehement, like they think I just haven't heard the right S&G song or something.

It's amazing how many conversations in the world about personal preferences are just less offensive versions of "honey you're a lesbian because you haven't met the right man."

I'm just ruminating out loud here. Your April Fools blog sounds great!

*hands you pop tart*

I just downloaded awesome violinst to my iPod so who am I to talk? LOL.

It was a prank. Header. :D http://img106.imageshack.us/img106/3351/simgar.png

I don't really like, slash them, however. O_o

Music is completely subjective, like taste in novels. If someone knows the things I like to read or listen to and recommends something based on that, cool, but you like it does not equal me like it.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I do like me some violin music.

What kind of pop tarts?

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

WORDY MC WORD, BB.

[cruentum.livejournal.com]

I don't think I've ever heard any Simon and Garfunkel

I like Blue Gillespie.

Ianto's in it.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

IANTO'S IN A PANTO.

[valancy-joy.livejournal.com]

my current poptart addiction is to the brown sugar cinnamon ones ... but *shifty eyes* I got a little of everything. Whatchu want baby?

Great. Have now turned into poptart/crack dealer :D

[cruentum.livejournal.com]

It's because he likes the clothes. They tickle his FATHER IS A TAILOR lie of senses. He's all 'OMG THIS IS WHAT TAILORING IS ALL ABOUT!'

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I like the brown sugar ones too. :D

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

IANTO IS LIKE, "THESE PANTO SUITS ARE BETTER THAN THAT WAISTCOAT I HAD TO WER WHEN I WAS FIGHTING THAT ROBOT DINOSAUR."

[smirnoffmule.livejournal.com]

Oh come on. As any even slightly cool person knows, people are entirely defined by their musical preferences, and if they are bad then you are bad and you should feel bad. How could you possibly not want to hear my opinions on that?

I like music which makes me lol or is linguistically interesting. Often I suspect I have missed the point.

Also, I have never seen Top Gun.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

IT IS TRUE. I HAVE BEL BIV DEVOE'S POISON ON MY IPOD. I OBVIOUSLY NEED TO BE BURNT AT THE STAKE.

[taffimai.livejournal.com]

You know us so well.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I know a parody of us so well.

[smirnoffmule.livejournal.com]

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS BUT THAT DOESN'T STOP ME THINKING YOU MUST BE RIGHT.

*flounces and defriends you over your taste in music*

[adjovi.livejournal.com]

oh...sing it, sister. i have been feeling insecure in the music arena lately. you know what is funny? we all went to trivia night last night, and one of the categories was pictures of album covers. so, the boy is all into alt and indie rock and knows all of the covers except one--college dropout--which is the only one i did know. i dated a trinidadian hiphop dj for a couple of years, and so yeah. that be my groove, baby. for the record, i'm pretty sure boy mocks my music choices in his head, but i still make him listen to my whacked out mixes every time he gets in the car (eminem followed by journey followed by ccr followed by jay-z).

bummed i won't see ya this go round to the 'burgh! i'll prob be back sometime in march or early april for mom's bday.

i never eat poptarts and had one for breakfast today--strawberry. out of a vending machine.

(repost b/c somehow i underline-tagged the whole post)

Music!Wankers. As long as it's got a good baseline or percussion and makes you wanna boogey while cleaning the toilet, it's all good.

They can't take my Barrowman/Neil Diamond lovefest away from me! Or your hip to the hop away from you! *has pitchfork*

[count-to-seven.livejournal.com]

There are some bands that I am genuinely afraid to admit out loud that I don't like for fear that Bono will drop from the ceiling and bash my face in.

[ophymirage.livejournal.com]

my entire iPod is filled with canadian/irish trad and jazz from 20's/30's/40's, so I am utterly unqualified to comment on modern music of any kind. Also, nobody should listen to my mixes. also, you kids get offa my lawn, with your haircuts and your morris dances.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

THIS WAS MY SECRET GOAL.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

omg i need me some trinidad hip-hop.


TL;DR: Have you ever hear Iam? He's a french rapper. There's something lolarious about french rap, and I think Crue sent me some welsh rap once, and I LOLED.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

OMG NEIIIIIIIL!
