Here, have some music.

(You need to be viewing this in an RSS reader, like Google Reader or something, to be able to stream the audio. Sorry, but I don't know any other way to do this in Blogger yet. Or you can just go listen to it on http://hmmcclish.xanga.com.)

So a while back I took some songs that I strongly identified with and stuck them together in Audacity into one song to describe myself. It's been over a year since I did that, so I decided to make a new one. It doesn't quite describe the present--it describes the time period I just went through, namely, clinical depression and the trip to the hospital. Usually it's the lyrics; sometimes it's also the tone. 


These are the songs, in order (and sometimes the rest of the song besides the bit I pulled out has no relevance):


"It's All Your Fault" - Pink
"Bring Me to Life" - Evanescence
"Hospital" - The Used
"Fscene8" - The Medic Droid
"Wind Up Toy" - Alice Cooper
"Hospital" - The Used (again! It just happens to coincide well with this period of my life in more than one section)
"A Perfect Sonnet" - Bright Eyes
"Wave Motion Gun" - Marcy Playground (oh so much.)
"The Bird and the Worm" - The Used (they're just a good band for this kind of mood)
"Soldier Side" - System of a Down

Several of these helped me get through this time in my life...so thank you to the people who gave them to me. Namely...Vivian, Crow, Sarah, Rachel, and Henry. And my own searching.

Will probably get around to making one for my present state eventually.

Things that made me feel a little better #2

Yup! I got a job. Freed-Hardeman's iKnow program is the program that gives us MacBooks and iPods/iPhones (and, of course, charges us for them). Basically? I get to work for the IT department.

Seen on the envelope of a card my Aunt Bron mailed me. (Also seen on the envelope: "Dull women have ordinary envelopes".)
