Evil people prosper over the likes of you and me, always.

es, i am blind.



Stole this idea from The Virgin, because i'm under a melancholy spell and don't have a single (non-depressing) original thought in my head today:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Using only song names from ONE ARTIST, cleverly answer these questions. Pass it on to a gazillion people and include me. Try not to repeat a song title. It's harder than you think..

Pick Your Artist: PJ Harvey


Are you male or female: No Girl So Sweet

Describe yourself: Happy and Bleeding

How do you feel about yourself: Shame

Describe where you currently live: The Desperate Kingdom of Love

If you could go anywhere, where would you go: A Place Called Home

Your best friends are: Missed

Your favorite color is: The Sky Lit Up

What's the weather like: Is That All There Is? (a cover, yes, but so appropriate; secondary answer: Seagulls.)

If your life was a TV show, what would it be called?: Dear Darkness

What is life to you: The Mess We're In

What is the best advice someone has given you: Darling Be There

If you could change your name, what would it be?: Angelene

Your favorite food is: Water (or White Chalk.)

Your job is: Plants and Rags

...Well! That was way funner than i thought it would be. Next time i think i'll do Siouxsie. Also, i love that we are instructed to answer "cleverly", then warned that it is "harder than [we] think". Not a lot of wiggle room, there. But honestly, if i was going to be clever, then my answer for favorite food would have been "Horses in my Dreams", because that is just too terrible. Decided that honesty is the best policy; surprised at how many answers had multiple choices! Thanks, Peej. For everything, always.

Too bad Corey Haim's gone now, because maybe he could have found this blog and then played this game and then realized that there truly is some shit in the world worth sticking around for. Like music. ("As far as i'm concerned, good tunes is good tunes, be it Disco, or Rock, or Polka, or whatever have you." – Name that movie! Need to watch that again, and soon...) But seriously: he was my first big celebrity teen crush, and i had it bad. i even used to buy the magazines (Bop, here's looking at you) with my saved allowance money. And you know, i don't even blame the drugs (even though they probably contributed). i blame the ego-feeding, the shallow fame, the obsession with celebrity that our country has been infatuated with for some time now. And of course people will argue that there are dead celebrities more 'worth' eulogizing than Corey Haim, but underneath it all we are all just human beings, so it really doesn't matter.

Hasta del fuego, folks. i promise to write a post soon about something important, relative, educational: rocket science, poverty, politics, genetics. Honest. But first i may have to inject some wheatgrass into my brain.
