  1. Frightened Rabbit - "December's Traditions"

    December's traditions suck the last of summer from our cheeks

    Draws the curtains, strips the trees

    In so-called living rooms, Scottish pastimes come to roost

    Love's labor's stained linen sheet

    The ghostly body who makes his bed beside you

    Is slowly losing teeth

    The boy needs sunlight and a shot of modesty

    He needs to get some sleep

    It's not the answer sticky plaster on a shattered bone

    What do you need, what do you need from me

    It's not the answer, treating cancer like a cold

    What do you need, what do you need from me?

    After months of grieving, well, f*ck the grief, I'm leaving!

    Will you leave with me?

    The blood loss, the towering cost

    Mouth to mouth, tongue to tongue

    The lick brings warm metallic taste

    I can't correct myself, convince you

    That there's no one else in volume, good news

    If you want a saint, you don't want me

    It's not the answer sticky plaster on a shattered bone

    What do you need, what do you need from me?

    It's not the answer, treating cancer like the cold

    What do you need, what do you need from me?

    It's not the answer, I'm just begging to be told

    What do you need, what do you need from me?

    If I had the answer, I'd write a book of what I know

    What do you need, what do you need from me?

  2. 1. what is THE song that you can never get sick of?

    The Stars by Jukebox the Ghost

    Perfect indie pop here.

    2. which song is the one that, even though you have had a TERRIBLE day, it can ALWAYS make you feel better to hear it?

    Squealing Pigs by Admiral Fallow

    Between them and Frightened Rabbit, I'm set for my Scottish accents for life.

    4. what song do you always yell "TURN IT UP" to?

    The Battle of Hampton Roads by Titus Andronicus

    Especially the bagpipes about 9 and a half minutes in.

    5. and what is the song that just MAKES your day?

    Tomorrow is a Latter Day from the Book of Mormon Original Cast Recording.

    It never ceases to put a smile on my face.

  3. New Found Glory-Drill It In My Brain

    Does every teenager go through a phase where they like pop-punk, or is it just my brother and me?

    Now...Original Cast of "Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson"-Rock Star

    I actually am not one of AJ's biggest fans, but I appreciate this show as an American History nerd...and who can hate lyrics like these:

    "Why don't you just shoot me in the head

    'cause you know I'd be better off dead

    if there's really no place in America

    for a celebrity of the first rank."

    And, the actor playing AJ traditionally gives an audience member a lap dance in the bridge, while ad-libbing things about his "stimulus package" and "populajism."

  4. As a high school student, I'll chime in here. My high school is staffed by a fully-equipped police officer. He's friendly, but I wouldn't mess with him--I've seen what happens when a fight breaks out. Also, we have a few security guards at the school, but they're more for hall duty and are only armed with a walkie-talkie. The middle school also has a School Resource Officer, but they didn't get one until last year. The High School's had one for a long time.

    The high school isn't really in the best area. It's right on the border between two neighborhoods, neither of which are the best places to live. Despite this, I never really feel threatened in school. In order to get in, one MUST be let in by a security guard who then takes you to the office. All the doors are locked.

    I don't feel that this is a problem. I don't feel as if my freedom is threatened.

    I just have a feeling that the two Elementary schools are going to get SRO's as well in the wake of this tragedy.

    I'm ready for the barrage of hate that will come my way. (Just kidding...) :P
