[artists are taken from my last.fm chart, although the bands I don't like quite so much are taken out.]

Muse
First song: Probably New Born, I have a distinct memory of watching the video once and being overly 'meh' about it. Oh, how times change.
I fell in love: Time Is Running Out! A friend from school sent me it, and I put off listening to it for so long but eventually, I listened to it. And really liked it.
Current favourite: Map of the Problematique. Although having a bit of old[er] school stuff, like Falling Away With You, Citizen Erased and In Your World.

Fall Out Boy
First song: Grand Theft Autumn. I might have heard Sugar, we're Going Down before, but I remember the video with the snow.
I fell in love: Probably A Little Less Sixteen Candles. Then Saturday started me off liking them again.
Current favourite: Argh, so hard. Saturday, The Carpal Tunnel of Love and Don't You Know Who I Think I Am.

Snow Patrol
First song: Run.
I fell in love: Also, Run.
Current favourite: Signal Fire and Same. Also, for kicks, totally Get Balsamic Vinegar... Quick You Fool! because it's so... not Snow Patrol.

List seven songs you are into right now, no matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're not any good but they must be songs you're really enjoying now. Post these instructions in your Live Journal along with your seven songs. Then tag seven other people to see what they're listening to.
1. Brand New - Failure By Design - because everyone loves angsty pop punk. [this is a lesson in procrastination / I kill myself because I'm so frustrated / and every single second that I put it off / means another lonely night I got to race the clock]
2. Elliot Minor - Parallel World - um, I seriously didn't want to like this! it's kind of cheesy, yet... somehow addictive. [I’m stuck in parallel worlds / or something supernatural / it won't let me go]
3. The Sounds - 24 Hours - so the lyrics I chose are actually super cheesy but this band makes me so happy. really dancy and just awesome. [oh / you said it was love for the first time / oh, baby, baby be mine / cause I'm in love, in love, in love, in love with you]
4. Fall Out Boy - Our Lawyer Made Us Change The Name Of This Song So We Wouldn't Get Sued - this song is the ultimate in long and pointless songnames! what more justification do I need, apart from it makes me want to dance? [it's just past eight and I'm feeling young and reckless / the ribbon on my wrist says / 'do not open before christmas']
5. Death Cab For Cutie - Marching Bands of Manhattan [sorrow drips into your heart through a pinhole / just like a faucet that leaks and there is comfort in the sound / but while you debate half empty or half full / it slowly rises, your love is gonna drown. ]
6. John Mayer - Slow Dancing In a Burning Room [can't seem to hold you like I want to / so I can feel you in my arms / nobody's gonna come and save you / we pulled too many false alarms]
7. My Chemical Romance - Early Sunsets Over Monroeville - happy song about people being in love and happy together! and then VAMPIRES! I really can't help but laugh. oh, it's srs bsns. [not knowing you'd change from just one bite / I fought them all off just to hold you close and tight.]

there are some things that people don't want to talk about. and you know, I'd've thought when asking 'why?' if the reply was 'because', it would kind of imply they don't really want to talk about it. huh. but what do I know?

I went out for a ride on Banner, and it's kind of all good, because it's one of the few times I can talk to my mother without her bringing up the thing about jobs and the summer. and as well, I love that horse to bits and pieces.

I'm thinking of what to spend my birthday gift voucher on. I'm torn between an iTunes gift voucher or selling it to my mother. huh, she still owes me for those chocolates she ate. also, I kind of really want the Sounds album and perhaps the special edition of From Under The Cork Tree. But that can wait until September. I don't know if my lj account can wait until then. I'm kind of addicited to this thing, huh. I do kind of need new jeans a little more urgently.

I'm getting around to replying to comments. srsly.
