[Angel Of Death]

Why? Why would you post these things?
It's horrible and sad and insensitive. You are a terrible person, sir, and I do not approve.

It's just a grey screen for me. Maybe that's a good thing.

It's suicide notes from people who committed suicide.

I know that. The page won't load for me, though.

It's not exactly cheerful or comfortable reading matter.

[Lord Shonus]

If it helps someone spot the signs in advance and keep someone from taking that step, it's a good thing. Suicide is something that should always be avoided.

Too tired in the mornings to write, too tired after work to write.  To busy doing chores.  ._.

[Angel Of Death]

It feels as if there's pressure building up in my head. Jesus, I hate that feeling.

More conflicted than sad, really.

As some people might know, I was homeschooled in a rather Christian home for 9 grades, starting at the 4th. During this time, my entire musical library -- and in fact, everything I voluntarily listened to -- was Christian music of varying degrees. In 2004, when I gots the internets for reals, I began my musical education of anything that hadn't fit into those categories. While I had only really listened to Christian music -- besides TV show themes, and whatever was playing over mall sound systems -- I had listened to a very large variety of what was out there for Christian music. To geek-like proportions.

Everything I have learned since then has been self-education. I listen to public radio, which is mostly talk, so I am often at least 5 steps behind on what is mainstream. Nothing is overplayed to me, because I am never exposed to it very much. My interactions with pop music have mostly been from the perspective of "some of these songs are busy enough for my taste". I can enjoy, say, Lady Gaga, but I can't exactly LOVE it. I can rock out to it, but yeah, no.

I've also been listening to dubstep for a few months now, and not actually taking the time to go back and listen to the originals.

Last night I finally listened to some of the original songs by Dev. I was expecting it to be somewhat like Ke$ha and Uffie, another party girl who has good producers. And... yeah, she's another party girl with good producers. Except that I love her songs. And not in the way I enjoy most pop songs. Generally, it takes more intellectual stimulation, or a busier track for me to LOVE songs*, but damn if she doesn't pull me in. Then I saw interviews with her, and saw that I liked her as a person.

I'm turning into somewhat of a fanboy, and I am very conflicted about this. I usually don't anticipate CD releases anymore, but I am excited to see what her album is going to be like...

* I, for instance, love Disturbia by Rhianna

I don't see tha sad, but it's good to see someone who doesn't reflexively bash all Christian music even after overexposure.

[Willfor]

Eh, I do have some problems with it, but most of them are with how they treat gay artists. The woman who wrote the best piece of music pertaining to the crucifixion was basically ushered out of the industry due to her sexuality. My respect for the Christian artists that stuck by her increased.

Besides, Jars of Clay got me through those angsty high school years, so all is cool.

[Lord Shonus]

Not what I meant. In current parlance, "Christian" has become a synonym for "Crappy tie in to draw people away from evil media of the moment." Someone seemingly willing to accept Christian music as worthwhile in it's own right is pretty rare in my experience.

Just recently learned from my sister that Ryan Dunn of Jackass fame has recently died in a car accident. That kinda sucks.

[Burnt Pies]

Being in constant pain really doesn't do much for my mood.

I hurt, and am sad.

[blackmagechill]

Stone Throw was a stupidly broken power.  I always had Gau cosplay Brawler for that reason.

[The Merchant Of Menace]

Blarg. Can't get my emulator to play nice with FFVII, sound's jerky as hell and the video's messed up.

[blackmagechill]

Yeah, During the thing where you fight the empire my parties went like this
Terra   Celes   Edgar
Locke  Sabin   Gau
Cyan   

All Edgar ever did was toss potions while Gau did 3000+ damage. Using Stone.
