Do I have some sort of ancient gypsy curse on me?
The kind that makes my life opposite day?
Every single time I hope for something or I say "I'm going to go to this college" or "that quiz was easy, I know I aced it" or "I'm totally going to pass this driving test and get my license" - -
Well, you don't have to guess what I'm about to say next.

Happy birthday, Trent. <3
Who needs sex when you have Trent Reznor?

This man makes me cry.
So here we are - not even a full month since the release of Ghosts I-IV, and Trent Reznor has already hinted at the release of a NEW album with the unexpected single "Discipline", which hit radio waves about 24 hours ago. He's made the single downloadable on the main NIN site, so of course I got it.
It seems like ever since his official split with the record companies he's been on a musical roll, proving the reocurring lyric "nothing can stop me now" quite true.
The song feels very - well - it's definitely a pop hit but not quite as dance-y as "Only" was back when With_Teeth was released. There's something in this that combines the elements of all his music. There's a heavy hand of With_Teeth at work with the boom-chick of the background music but then there are repeating piano chords in the background that are very reminiscent of The Downward Spiral and Fragile years.
All in all, I'm loving this new Trent Reznor.
Once I start, I cannot stop myself

Audio: What's your favorite carol or holiday song?
...yeaaaah. It's pretty much the most amazing song ever.
But I also like the Metallica/Trans-siberian orchestra version of Carol of the Bells.
Ever since he and I broke up, I've been consciously changing myself, I think.
I cleaned and reorganized my room.
This weekend, I'm cutting my hair short...i think? I'm not sure if I want to. I keep waffling back and forth.
I bought a bunch of new, colorful clothes/shoes last week.
And for the past two weeks, Rihanna and Timbaland have dominated my iPod, something I find odd and not quite "me."
Today, I started getting back into Nine Inch Nails. They've been the driving force in my life for the past two years -- the one thing I'm glad for Jess's influence. After some shit went down last night from him, I watched the Beside You In Time concert again (first time in a few months) and felt almost instantly better.
Going back to these old values is necessary for me once in a while -- no matter how much I may dislike "With Teeth" I always go back to it every six months or so because it centers me once more on the person I was in contrast to the person I am/want to be.
I need to restructure myself constantly and consciously -- I need to focus on those things that are important and not be an idiot at school.
I really want this Humanities project to be over because I can't take the stress anymore.
I am really grateful for the existence of school. If not for that, i think I'd be a lot more more upset and messed up about my breakup with TJ.
I really love all of my classes, except for AP World History. The subject manner is fascinating, but I hate how Danziger teaches. I have enough homework to keep me occupied and when I'm not doing that, I'm studying for my ACT's and looking at colleges. In that sense, I'm glad that I'm not seeing him anymore because this lets me focus on my future. I'm very goal-oriented.
Plus...it was a really nice summer because of him.
I need to reorganize my room again.
I just downloaded the fanmade Nine Inch Nails album that has 21 fan remixes of songs off of Year Zero. (There was some contest a little while ago and they picked those 21 out of 200 applications) Honestly? They're better than most of the original songs, which is why I find it very ironic.
Still, it makes me happy! Which is something that I need right now.
