books written for girls

Since the show, I've been listening more closely to Camera Obscura. I don't know what I usually listen to when I listen to them, but I've become obsessed with "Books Written For Girls" because it seems so fitting about someone I know.

How do you tell someone you like that they are a bit of an asshole?

I'm trying not to get too caught up in CA because I know that, like the Softies, too much listening could crush my hope that not everyone sucks. I know that, as much as I love her, I can't listen to Rose Melberg-related music during certain moods.

Speaking of which, my friend Scott just tipped me onto Au Revoir Simone, a lovely slightly fuzzy threesome from Brooklyn that harmonse quite a lot like the Softies. They will be a nice addition to my wistful soundtracks for heartbreak and longing.

Maybe it's time to get back into harder stuff. The soft, gentle stuff is making me wimpier than usual. I blame my hair for my musical tastes. If I didn't like having my hair stroked I wouldn't be in this mess. Hair stroking and hand holding are my weaknesses. This music just provides such a nice soundtrack for it.

Yesterday at work we talked about my hands, how tiny they are, and I said I was worried about them looking old. Now my friend keeps teasing me about my old hands. I think I need to get a better moisturiser to combat.

I think I need a nap before school.
