I've been reading quite often for the past couple of days. Anti-social? Maybe, but I've always liked reading. Most days, I would prefer to wrap myself in a burrito with my off-white comforter and proceed to strain my eyes for several hours, until I am done with a series. The series I'm finishing right now is different from the rest that I have breezed through. This one is special for two reasons. The first is that it is written beautifully, the prose is delicate yet thrilling. The second is that each character is extremely f***ed up. The characters aren't likable. I actually don't like any of them, but what draws me in is that they have flaws. They are unique. And I like that much better than stupid Twilight with stupid Bella and the rest of the stupid vampires.
Britney has released a new song. The controversy behind the song is Britney + dubstep. I happened upon an interview between Skrillex and MTV concerning the song, titled "Hold It Against Me". MTV was asking Skrillex about his opinion of the song and he brought to light some great points.
Skrillex said that he was happy that dubstep is breaking out. Everything that is successful in the underground becomes mainstream. That is the beauty of the underground, for it is always changing and reinventing itself. He said that because dubstep may become mainstream, he is excited to see what the underground will come up with next. That's a great point that I feel all music purists should contemplate. The underground is forever and always changing, and we are part of that change. In order for it to reinvent itself and avoid becoming stagnant, maybe some of it does have to go mainstream.
I start school next Wednesday. I am excited for this year for several reasons. I am finally moving on with my major courses and will be well on my way. It took me a year or more to figure myself out, but everyone moves at their own pace. I'm just grateful that I, for the most part, have my priorities straight. I have even begun to drink tea! Specifically black tea.

I have mentioned before that I was joyful due to the end of rain/sun's return to California. I now recall why I preferred winter over summer. Being in direct sunlight is uncomfortable, especially for those of paler-than-average skin. I need to invest in some strong sunblock, for I am immensely afraid of contracting wrinkles/sun damage/cancer. I am only twenty, but it is never too early to protect oneself.
Currently listening to: Noisia - Machine Gun (16 Bit Remix)
This. song. blew. me. away. It is best heard with great speakers. "I was listening to this brilliant tune, and suddenly my cat exploded." - youtube comment. Proof enough?
