For example, someone mentioned this band... I already forget their name but they were on the cover of AP. And this is how the conversation went?
Me: Are they any good?
Her: I don't think you'll like them.
Me: Oh?
Her: Screamo =p
Then I started scratching my head. Why? Because I was listening to Alexisonfire. Which last I checked is pretty screamo.
Of course I listened to them, and she was right, I didn't like them. Why? Not because it was screamo, but because I thought that it didn't really have any music to it... just screaming. I could probably give them another chance, but that one song I listened to didn't sell me and like man...
Okay, maybe it's not a sweeping generalization, but I hate it when people just jump to conclusions. Apparently I'm not 'bad ass' to listen to screamo or something.
Next, lecturing - I hate hate hate when people lecture me.
There is one thing called passing on knowledge, and that I appreciate. Of course, I often ask for the knowledge. Then there is another thing where people like to talk in this hoity-toity manner informing me of things that even the most mediocre of people would know.
It just makes me feel so like.. appalled that some people actually think they need to tell me this stuff? Like... do I come off as incredibly stupid or something?
And then that brings the awkward conversation after where I should probably say something like "Oh Cool." Or something, as if learning something new.
But I have a lot of trouble doing that so I always come off as an angry bitch with a "Duh" or a "Yeah... I know."
Then it just goes to all sorts of awkward.
And finally the Art of Procrastination.
I've been feeling quite down lately. Believe it or not. Tuesday I had no work or school and was supposed to be at least 1/3rd done my essay by the end of the day.
Well it is Friday and I haven't done anything except pick up the book I needed.
I'm not sure what is up with me... but man, I am the queen of this. I can find a billion other things to do that are so un-productive people wonder how I survive.
And of course, now I come to the time where I am so freaking busy that I don't have time to work on it anyways.
I am so screwed.
I need to start writing more editorial things. I want to get an internship at AP magazine after university and need to be good at writing.
Why am I listening to Jesse McCartney on the TV?
Love you all <3

People don't assume you won't like the band, they know that the minute they tell you about them, you'll take that band and pass it off like you've discovered them. There is a general consensus that telling you about music usually ruins that music, in turn.
How dare she assume you have a musical type? You are such a complex and unique human being, there is no clique to describe your unique-ness. You call yourself an "indie rocker" and you enjoy music like the mission district, so why would she assume you wouldn't enjoy screaming? And you didn't, but still, that has nothing to do with her knowing you at all! Nobody knows you...and your trials and tribulations. You've had a tough and complicated life, the last thing you need is to be pidgeon holed!
"Of course I listened to them, and she was right, I didn't like them. Why? Not because it was screamo, but because I thought that it didn't really have any music to it... just screaming."
