Blog: 245874 Livejournal: 0

...my blog is a fairly simple and straight forward place where I rant, rave and undoubtedly make people wonder about my already questionable sanity. Livejournals, however; are angsty and overly emotional. You "friend" other people, are offended when they don't "friend" you back and remove them from your lists of "friends" when they make you angry. You can post private entries and entries readable only by those you consider to be "friends" and those left in the shadow are confused and angry at the thought that they might not know everything in your life. And lets not forget those sad individuals out there who undoubtedly rank their social standing to the amount of "friends" they have on livejournal (in all honesty, that's as bad as saying "I have *insert random number here* of friends on facebook! I MUST BE LOVED). To me...livejournals are a huge and unnecessary source of drama.

To give the devil his due, I will say that I like the feature of being able to read everyone's entries at once. Undoubtedly, it saves a lot of time. However, I must say that I still believe the cons outweigh the pros.

Make no mistake, I harbor no ill will against those who have livejournals, especially if they are even remotely amusing and can make me giggle. Giggling is always good. And yes, it's also true that I myself have a livejournal. However, it exists souly for the purpose of reading the aforementioned private/"friends only" journal entries and for commentary purposes. However, I make this declaration now: I WILL NEVER POST JOURNAL ENTRIES/UPDATES IN MY LIVEJOURNAL. Never.

Now, to make matters worse, livejournal has recently created a new feature (at least I think it's new). "Tagging" invovles making lists/entries about random topics (favourite vacation spots, songs, etc), filling them out and then asking other people to fill them out as well by "tagging" them. Oh the drama...I can see pathetic little high schoolers (and sadly...some college students) curled up in their beds at night...thinking "WHY DID *insert random name here* TAG *insert random name here* AND NOT ME?! I've totally been ______'s "friend" for like, months!"

That said, I've been "tagged" by my dear friend Sara (much love). The topic: 6 favourite songs. And yes, I will answer this question and possibly any other "tags" I receive, depending on the topic (becuase quite frankly, I don't give a damn about livejournal "infamy" (their words, not mine)).

So...6 favourite songs (at the moment, as this changes frequently).
1. Be Yourself - Audioslave
2. Life on a Chain - Pete Yorn
3. Holiday - Green Day
4. River of Dreams - Billy Joel
5. Something's Always Wrong - Toad the Wet Sprocket (seriously, were they on crack or coke when they came up with this name?)
6. Good - Better Than Ezra

This turned out to be a much harder endeavour that I thought it would be...I nearly just listed favourite artists, because piecing through my favourite artists to find my favourites was insanely hard...but here ya go...a little mainstream...a little not so much at all...Much love for all of it.

I think I'll go lay a dozen white roses on my grandfather's grave, and then I'll spend some time alone in the city. I could go walking in the middle of the night, to the river of dreams (ha. The Potomac. Not so much at all). Say, hey, that could be the dawning of the rest of my life. Even though it was good, something's always wrong...
