One of those days…
You know, the kind of days that start out really beautiful and then take a turn for the worse before you get to blog about them. Actually, things never got that bad. I just got really stressed. So i’m going to pretend that work wasn’t crazy tonight and get to the part i’ve been wanting to blog about all day: identity.
I was thinking on my way to my car after getting my paychecks and then on my way home to see if my definitely-left-plugged-in hair straightener had burnt the place down or not. (It hadn’t). I was basically thinking about my iPod and how I wasn’t very good at getting it to last.fm to update before the end of Saturday so I always feel like my results are pretty innacurate. Then I was thinking about how silly it is that I care as much as I do about it. I don’t care that much, really, but basically I think it’s silly that I care at all. So then I was thinking about things like facebook and thought that we really identify ourselves by things like favorite movies and music and the like. I know I do. And the more I thought about it, the more I realized that it’s not too far from accurate. I mean, my favorite movies are The Squid and the Whale, the United States of Leland and the Royal Tennenbaums without a doubt. I think that says a lot about my personality, what I tend to get more emotionally stirred about, and my sense of humor. It also may reveal my crush on Anna Paquin and Jena Malone, I am not sure… but you know. It makes sense to me that I’d really like those movies. And music is pretty much the same way. Obviously, Ani makes a lot of sense for me to listen to… but I think that bands like Everclear and Lisa Loeb and Thursday or Moneen or Saves the Day really reveal a lot about not only who i was but also who I am now. And Keren Ann and Isobel Campbell do the same.
So the point of this is that maybe I’ll change my facebook to movies and music that say more about me.

You’re right. What kind of movies you like says alot about you, but I don’t really think music says that much. I like all kinds of music and just because I like pop music etc doesn’t mean anything if you know what I mean?
