Soundtrack of My Life

Recently (and, by recently, I mean: four months ago) I "rediscovered" my passionate, not-so-well-meaning, and very passive love of Slipknot. Even if I hadn't listened to them for some time, I would call myself a maggot in passing. To fans of Lady Gaga, I would explain, "You are a monster, I am a maggot," all the while thinking, teeth gritted, "and my group could kick your group's ass." True story. But I no longer listen to them when I'm upset... mostly because I'm not upset so very often anymore.

For an idea of what kind of music I listen to on a daily basis, let's go to my iPhone Youtube history (a log of the non-iTunes songs I listen to). This is listed in order of listening, not liking.

Duality - Slipknot

Left Behind - Slipknot

Tick-Tock - Ke$ha

What the Hell - Avril Lavigne

Sweet Child O' Mine - Guns and Roses

Kaboom - Marilyn Manson

(sic) - Slipknot

You Spin Me Around - Dope

You're Going Down - Sick Puppies

Albannach at the Edinburgh Festival

My Immortal (rock remix) - Evanescence

Jar of Hearts - Christina Perri

You Belong With Me - Taylor Swift

Circle of Life - Lion King

Songbird - Fleetwood Mac

Broken - Seether featuring Amy Lee

Yeah - Usher

Engel - Rammstein

Misery Loves Company - Emilie Autumn

Okay, so that's a lot of Slipknot... but it's actually much more diverse than it used to be. I mean, Usher and Avril Lavigne and - for crying out loud - Ke$sha are in there. I call that personal growth.

Who is this irresistible creature who has an insatiable love for the dead?

Things New With Beka:

1 – Webkinz. I love Webkinz. I have a lot. I like playing with them, buying and decorating their little rooms and I don't care if it's for little kids; I enjoy it. I don't actually play with the stuffed animals, but I do keep them sort of on display in my room.

2 – Rob Zombie. This is not new by any stretch of the imagination, but I love Rob Zombie and recently my Pandora has been playing a lot of him, Breaking Benjamin, Sick Puppies, Staind, Disturbed and A Day To Remember. (Which is odd, considering the station is called “Paramore.”) I would like one day to remake the Living Dead Girl music video. Because it is awesome. It is also much easier to write serial killer novels with Rob Zombie playing. Now if only I could convince Pandora to give me more Slipknot. I got Before I Forget the other day and was freaking thrilled (also got alice nine. and had a mini seizure.)

3 – Peppermint Hot Chocolates. Tastes like mint chocolate chip ice cream. Nuff said.

4 – BeccaTwoC. I LOVES ME SOME BECCA. Becca got an internship thingy, by the way. She's editing crap or something. I didn't really listen because she was very excited and for some reason her excitement turns into jammers in my head (it's a word, google that shit). Not that I don't care. Because I do. I'm just not exactly sure what's going on.

5 – Criminal Minds. It's everything I ever wanted in a show. Except it has less forensics. Criminal Minds and Bones should do a crossover episode. It would be freaking awesome.

I would also like to put this out there: I hate rain. I hate driving in it, I hate walking in it and I hate working knowing that outside is wet. The only thing I like about it is that it can't be sunny and raining at the same time. Except at my bus stop. For some reason, it can be extremely sunny there, and still rainy. That's absolutely ridiculous and I would like to lodge a formal complaint.


Dear God,

Please make up your mind about the weather conditions of my bus stop. You are fucking with my head and I do not approve. Cut the crap and give us a solid choice.

Sincerely,

A Dissatisfied Customer.


Also, what the fuck is up with customers not handing you change? I can understand if I step away from the counter after giving you your total, to pour you a cup of coffee or something; you can set it down then. I am not unreasonable in that way. But if I am holding out my hand and you smack the money on the counter, I'm going to smack your change down on the counter, too, assuming that that is how you want your funds handled. (And, since our counter is for tips, I will assume that your change is a tip and keep my $18.68, thank you very much.)

STOP.
…
Papercut time.
