Blogging from Weirdo's place.

Derp.

So I've been checking out random bands on YouTube and I wasn't satisfied with anything until I listened to this. To those who know my music taste really well, you'd understand why I love this.

Hungry Ghosts - I Don't Think About You Anymore, But I Don't Think About You Anyless

Damn beautiful song. Then there's this:


No Clear Mind - Static


I swear I just love being on this weird part of YouTube.

Last song.


Explosions In The Sky - Magic Hours


See, the weird part of YouTube isn't so bad. And for those who ask me how I find new bands, this is an example of how I do it. I just go on YouTube and watch random videos. That's it. No complex Maths problem, really.

Oh, and for Day 3 and Day 4 of the Brightside Challenge:

Day 3
Seeing friends win their respective awards for the Literary and Visual Arts competition. Girls' Day Out with Mystique and Delirium. Literally handing over Hogwarts castle to Haku, who is actually Voldemort in disguise. Haku's Charles Xavier ring and my Erik Lensherr ring.

Day 4
Drive. Successfully reading a John Donne poem (The Relic) in class. Pseudo-picnic with Weirdo. Getting to spend time with Weirdo and Mystique for a while. Bumming at Weirdo's place and giving his latest poem a critique.

Will elaborate later.

Bright Side Challenge: Day 2

I know Haku wanted me to go to bed as soon as I could, but I wanted to post my Day 2 response just so I could at least prove to myself that I'll finish a challenge without cheating on days or whatever this time. (Tis a long story.) And Haku, if you're reading this, I seriously promise that I'll go to sleep after posting this without any sidequests whatsoever (except for transferring five songs to my phone). It's a royal promise.

Day 2
Mystique and Haku. I think that's good enough for today, especially since I really do need sleep as Haku had pointed out.

Okay, that's it. G'night.

Tagged: Look on the Bright Side Challenge

Tinuviel, a friend and fellow blogger, has tagged all of her followers to do this challenge. For this challenge, the tagged people are supposed to post at least one event/person/thing/whatever that makes them feel good everyday for 30 days. Since I am a follower of her blog and that doing this will probably help my disposition a lot, I hereby announce my acceptance of the challenge. And today will be the first day of the challenge for me.

Day 1
Today, I went to a 'hipster place' with a few friends including Haku, Weirdo and Delirium. I'd name all of them but I'm too lazy and sleepy to give them codenames right now. Anyway, there are actually quite a few reasons for me to feel good about this day despite the shit that happened the night before and the completely insane emotional breakdown I had at the university today. (I think Haku was frightened for a moment, lol. Maybe I should call myself 'Harley Quinn' and not 'Chihiro'.)

So hi, meet today's smile-bringers. They are:
  1. Watching Drive for one of my morning classes, and falling in extreme admiration with both the film and Ryan Gosling (the film's lead actor).
  2. My quiz score wasn't so bad. o_o
  3. Watching Wit for another class. Beautiful film. Brilliant cast.
  4. Haku's adorable, as always.
  5. First meeting with my section at this school publications thing I'm a part of. 8D (Yep, still not ready to be more open about this one. People are out to kill me. *paranoidface*)
  6. Pseudo-dinner with Haku, and how he didn't try to call for the asylum when I had the emotional breakdown after that.
  7. Writing exercise with Haku and other people from my section. (I really should think up codenames for them soon.)
  8. The hipster place, along with getting to see people I haven't seen in a while. I wish Tinuviel had been there, but she's busy according to Haku. D:
  9. Bacon Fries.
  10. Crazy car ride in Delirium's car. Best. Car Ride. EVER.
  11. Karaoke with Weirdo, Haku, Delirium and all the other people I went to the hipster place with. I love Delirium's Karaoke song. She made me sing one of my two Karaoke songs, so ya we be rockin out. (Wait that's not rocker language. Anyway—)
  12. Haku's crazy surprises.
  13. People's reaction to my outfit for today. Someone I had Philosophy class with back in Sophomore year even gave me this look as if he were really offended by what I wore. It was as if he had just seen Cookie Monster get blond highlights.
  14. A possible party to look forward to after mid-terms week, which basically means that I'll be more inspired to do academic stuff earlier than I should. 'Cause, ya, I believe in 'work hard, party hard(er if you've not burnt out yet).'
So that's my Day 1 Challenge. Now, I tag YOU! You'll love this challenge, too. I can guarantee you that. Who doesn't love feeling good, after all?
