Mrs. GH's 2nd Period AP Lit Class

..that title is a piece of the proceeding song I will discuss.

Alright, for those of you who didn't see this bit already:

My friend and I were discussing this today--is "This Bitter Pill" by Dashboard Confessional not the most ridiculous song you've ever heard? I mean, I wish that I could half scream half cry into a microphone with an acoustic guitar tuned half a step down and strum made up chords, then have my song go mainstream and be adored by depressed fans with raven side bangs (males and females) everywhere.

Wait wait wait, though:

"The bottle is waiting
the cap is twisted begging to be used
and so are you."

This guy is livid.

If you haven't heard this tremendous musical atrocity, then listen to it, ideally if you're in woe. My friend articulated it best: You can listen to this when you're depressed, and think Wow, I thought I had it bad, but no matter what happens, I can never have it as bad as this guy. It's true. You'll just have to think that while Chris Carrabba vomits his angst into your delicate ears.

As an aside, remember to sign your names at the bottom of your posts, please. It's a lot more convenient and I didn't design this to automatically put your name in for each post--I'll fix that when I'm not quite so lazy, so hopefully we won't have graduated by then.

Also, listen to Jake about music. His taste simply rivals even my superb musical indulgences, so if you are lost in the thresholds of horrendous top 40 night club music (remember what The Thrills said: Top 40 night clubs provide the soundtrack for dry humping on dance floors) PLEASE talk to me or him, we'll straighten you out, and you'll stop listening to things like ::shudders:: Ja Rule.

All my adoration,
Alexander Catchings I
