Enough of all this fashion bznz. Let`s listen to music!
After re-watching Cruel Intentions for the first time since I was like 10 (What were my parents doing at the time that I was able to watch such a fucked up movie?), I fell in love with the opening credits song. Thanks to Google, it took me five seconds to find out what it was and who sang it. Every You, Ever My by Placebo has been one of my Most Played songs ever since. Naturally, I would check out other songs from the band.
I`ve known about Placebo since probably the seventh grade, but I never really got around to listen to them, because back then I was more into the "in" music like Black Eyed Peas and Beyonce.
And then during my Freshman year, I went into this sappy heartbroken shit phase where I listened to Secondhand Serenade and all those other bands I`ve forgotten. Also I was obsessed with My Chemical Romance. Hah! In my defense, that was right before they released The Black Parade. I stopped listening after that. That year was not a total musical embarrassment. I got into Muse that year, and I still love them until now.
Then came Sophomore Year where I delved into screamo scene phase. Oh my god, I don`t even. I`m thankful I didn`t dress like an over-the-top scene kid. At the time, I was seriously considering dying a section of my hair hot pink or electric blue. That would have brought on a ton of lols for the future. Coupled with my love for screamo was Taylor Swift songs. Back then, it felt like she wrote all her songs based on my life experiences. I still listen to some of the music I listened to back then, but I don`t have that style anymore. Thank God.
Third year was just retarded. I don`t even want to remember that shit. Brokencyde and 3OH!3 and Millionares. Sweet baby Jeebus! Just typing it all on here makes me cringe like a motherfucker. Well, it wasn`t all complete utter shit. I listened to MGMT back then and I still love them until now.
The my Senior Year was probably when I stopped with the ridikkulus "phase" music and my taste matured. I listen to the same music I did last year and I guess that`s a good sign.
So back to Placebo (Wow, my teacher was right. I do go off topic a lot). I spent one whole night last week just youtube-ing their songs and listening to them made me so emotional (no crying and shit, but just felt really emotional). His voice is just so piercing. I was surprised I didn`t listen to them earlier in my emo-kid phase. HAHAHA! My current favorites are Every You, Every Me , Meds, and Special Needs.
If you haven`t listened to them yet, I highly suggest it!
Ms. Hayley Williams. The first girl to make me want to dye my hair a crazy color!
Ms. Audrey Kitching! Still working the hair even after "scene" is over.

Miley donning a doable version. Light hair with darker streaks at the bottom. I might just try this out.
