the Runaways "School Days" 8 hours ago

Used to be the trouble maker
Hated homework, was a sweet heartbreaker
But now I have my dream
I’m so rowdy for eighteen
Never read a single book
Hated homework and the dirty looks
Now I live my life
There’s a lot I seen at eighteen
School days, school days
I’m older, now what will I find
School day, school days
Starting to slip I’m losin’ my mind
Used to be the wild one
Hated class only lived for fun
I’m mean an’ got my schemes
At the crazy age of eighteen
Never made the honor roll
Hated rules what I was told
Now I am almost free
It’s a dangerous scene when you’re eighteen
School days, school days
I’m older, now what will I find
School day, school days
Starting to slip I’m losin’ my mind

i think i’ve reached Apathy Mode.

i just don’t really care. sure, i have “options,” which is cool but none of them really get me… excited, neurotic, jittery, especially happy or sad… they’re just other people. it was nice that Shuntaro told me “i think you are beautiful girl” during our English class, i’m aware that i still have feelings for Kei but it’s not gonna happen, i was somewhat disappointed that Masaaki didn’t come to class last week but not too terribly bummed, and i don’t really care either way whether Kenji comes to the show with me tonight or not. it would be cool, but i just don’t care.

and maybe that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

"Drunken Butterfly" Sonic Youth 1 week ago

Smile like a sun, back over time
Crazy fr you, pleasure is mine
I love you, I love you, I love you, what’s your name?
I love you, I love you, I love you, what’s your name?

You’re coming thru, even it up
Going too far, try understand
I love you, I love you, I love you, what’s your name?
I love you, I love you, I love you, what’s your name?

Whisper kiss yr ear, I’ll tell you what I fear
Whisper the kisses in yr ear, I’ll tell you what I fear

Come on home, just ain’t fair
Name of rock’n’roll, where love dies
Couldn’t find a soul, tell it like it is
Deep down inside, drunken butterfly
I love you, I love you, I love you, what’s your name?
I love you, I love you, I love you, what’s your name?
I love you, I love you, I love you, what’s your name?
I love you, I love you, I love you, what’s your name?
