I'm listening to several
Punk Goes... albums. While I don't consider myself a punk, I do enjoy some of their songs, especially when they are rendered in acoustic and metal.
I think I give punk far less credit than it deserves. Some songs are just as melodic, poetic and indie-ish (for a lack of a better word) as most indie-emo stuff that I listen to. The only reason, I think, why I'm not as into punk as I am to indie-emo is the fact that punk's a little too close to screamo, which I don't appreciate either.
I am looking forward to the next
Punk Goes Acoustic album, which, unfortunately, won't be coming out until May 8th. Like I said, I'm no punk, but since
Daphne Loves Derby *heart* and
The Spill Canvas *heart* will be contributing to the anthology, I am more than excited for it to come out.
---------------Antagal ng Chinese na inorder ko. Antagal din ng mga kapatid ko. Me + brothers + lost of time to kill = FUN.
---------------I cut myself today. Accidentally! (I know what you were thinking. No, I didn't do it on purpose.)
It stings. It friggin hurts. I feel like I have a long, throbbing wound on my skin. Wait. I do.
So this is what
pain non-self-inflicted pain feels like.
---------------Listening to all this punk stuff has made me a little lonely for Jayar's company. Haha. I just went right out and said it like it was nothing! But honestly, it has made me lonely for his company...
You know that guy?
He understood me. I think that says it all.
He understood me.Bleh. Anyway, he is still the only person who has managed to make me listen to punk. He would conveniently leave his cds on my pack. He would listen to his tracks while we were together and ignore the faces I made. He would turn the volume really low and make me sing the bass, lead or synth line. He recited the lyrics so that it came to life. He showed me the riffs, taught me how to recognize the best bands, and just... made punk a part of my life.
So, as I'm listening to all this punk bleh, I can't help but wish he was here with me. He understood music. And me.

Randoms things about me
I'm Kitten :)
I get a year older every 17th of August. I am a Leo, and I carry all traits associated with that zodiac.
Right now, I'm twenty years old and I'm loving it. They say we're only as young as we feel. I feel like I'm five.
I would never leave the house without my Zen and my E2. The latter connects me to the world; the former takes me away from it.
If I were to choose a word to describe my life, that word would be
crazy.
I am in love with the stars. I am in love with the rain.
I am a Rutgers University student, and I want to graduate with an English degree. An English-Psych double major would be nice. An English-TCert would be even better.
I want to be a teacher. I want to be writer. I want to be both.
I thrive on indie and emo. Mae, The Spill Canvas, Copeland and Daphne Loves Derby - these are the guys that I listen to. I listen to other bands here and there, but mostly those are the bands I follow. That being said, I'm a mainstream moron.
There's no feeling more lovely than being carried away. People don't usually think of me as somebody spontaneous, but I like being swept away as much as the next girl.
I fall in love easily, but it is really hard for me to fall out. Really hard.
I am very fragile.
I am tolerant of almost everything except one thing: intolerance.
I am an extensive reader. I thirst only for meaning, nothing else.
I love my friends <3
I am extremely spiritual but not religious.
Things I want to do in my life time
Get a job.
- Save up enough money to go back home -
wherever that is if I ever had one before I'm 40.
- Write a book.
- Sing for a Disney movie.
- Buy a house on top of a hill.
- Go bunjee jumping.
Travel halfway around the world.
- See Italy.
Find the one person who makes my heart beat faster and slower at the same time.
Draw and paint.
Learn how to play Sudoku.
- Volunteer for American/Philippine Red Cross or UNHCR.
Quit smoking.
