Post the Thirty-Seventh: Love Sickness (It's a pun!)

So, there are three main things I wanted to blog about today.


Point 1: I really hope I'm not getting sick.

Today I stayed home from school because I woke up and felt like crap. I was nauseous, dizzy, had a headache, and extremely tired. I went back to sleep and slept until 12. I woke up for about 3 hours and then went to sleep again. So, yeah, I've only been awake for about 9 hours today.

This kind of worries me because I'm still not feeling totally awesome. In fact, I can feel my headache coming on again. I really don't want to get sick. I don't think anyone likes being sick.

On the other hand, I've been feeling like crap in general lately, so it'd be nice to have something non-mental/emotional to blame it on.


Point 2: I like weird love songs.

I've always been in love with love. I'm a rabid shipper (if you don't know what that ism, it's probably for the best), my top songs on my iTunes are love songs, I can't stand stories without any vestiges of romance... But I've realized I always like weird love songs. Like, my favourite love songs are either incredibly nerdy or incredibly weird.

For example, my favourite love songs are Birds by Kate Nash which is just... like, lolwut throughout, and You Ruined Everything by Jonathan Coulton which is kind of ironic ("You ruined everything in the nicest way"). And all my other favourite love songs are nerdy, like either based on Harry Potter or, y'know, entitled Nerdfighterlike. I guess this is because I tend to believe that weird quirky romance songs are more truthful. Or maybe it's because I'm so in love with love that the usual conventions bore me, and it's only weird stuff like this that makes me happy.

Yeah, I don't know. I've been thinking a lot about this love business lately, as you could probably tell by my last post. (I maintain that it wasn't depressing.)


Point 3: I've been listening to a lot of Youtube songs.

And they've been stuck in my head. A lot. Particularly I've had Looking for Alaska by Liane Graham and Nerdfighterlike by Lauren Fairweather stuck in my head today.

Oh my god I love Looking for Alaska. (The song. The book was alright.) I especially love the chorus, I can't stop singing.
"Thomas Edison's last words were, "It's very beautiful over there."
I don't know where 'there' is but I believe it's somewhere
And I hope it's beautiful like you, you're beautiful
I never really knew you at all/Did anyone every really know you at all?"
AUGHH I JUST LOVE IT SO MUCH.

In a related note, Susan has revealed to me the divine truth of being able to edit songs in iTunes so they start/stop playing at certain times. Which is VERY useful if you download songs off Youtube that have like a minute of talking before they actually start. Like me.

Anyways, it's getting kinda late and even though I'm a little wired off of the cola I had and also the naps I had today, I should log off. Gnight.
