impy: tori from jackie's strength video (i believe)
I must confess that I stop what I'm doing when a Tom Petty song comes on the radio, be it at work or elsewhere. Or rather I go from treating music like white noise to actually listening. I'm not sure enough people feel this way about his music, but they should. Granted, I doubt anyone else has their grandmother's death all twisted up with the thought of the man's music in the same way I do [except possibly my brother], but there you have it.

[the story, which I'll share for the ninty billionth time: when I was in high school, either 14 or 15, I don't remember which, one of the radio stations was giving away tickets to see 'im in concert. My brother either desperately wanted to see 'im OR he just wanted to win. I never was clear on this. Anyway, he called in and with my help, though again I don't remember how, he won. Much rejoicing. :D annnnnnd then my grandmother died, and her funeral was being held the same weekend as the concert. So the boy never got to pick up his stuff or go to the concert. and thus it's always going to come up like that when I hear one of the numerous songs floating around out there. welcome to my head. now get out.]

Stuff that's been annoying online for the last *quick mental calculation* 9 years or more and will continue to be annoying:
- !!!! One will suffice in general. Two if you're really excited. !!! should be alerting the world of something fucking important, like the killer behind you right now. Anything more than three and you're just asking to have the crap beaten out of you.
- repetative use of lol ... I don't use it, so I'm terribly biased against it, and not even the charming memory of being in law ed in sophmore year and hearing the geekiest girl in the class shout "lol!" and then having to explain it will help anyone who uses it over and over and over and over. Especially when coupled with the !!!! thing. Oi.
- overly bitchy music fandom people. I'm sure you're speshul, but unless you have your very own band and only play for yourself, sooner or later other people might come to like the band you consider yours. If the band is good enough, perhaps lots of people will like "your" band. This means the band will have money and a little incentive to make another record/album, so shut the fuck up about newbie fans if you're going to be a bitch to everyone. It doesn't make you better than the newbies, it just makes you look like an ass.

I wonder if there's a time in your life when you reach your musical interest peak. Like, you have one year that is so defined by the music you listened to or just plain heard that you think of it as yours, and then no matter how cool some music is later on, it'll never compare, and so every year after is just another year of mostly shitty music, until you're 40 and listening to the oldies.

Or maybe for the most part, music these days blows? Yeah, I knew it'd come back to that old standby. The things you ponder when listening to a radio station that seems set to 16-19 in Impy years. Faaaantabulous. Though everytime I grasp irony, I hear Ironic.

*hugs to those who need*

What lies beneath? )

We'll gush about Annie first and probably Oren tomorrow. Anne is my first purchase from [livejournal.com profile] pullipstyle and as such, whorage to [livejournal.com profile] pullipstyle. ;) It's nice getting your dolly crack exactly when you're told it should arrive and that's within a few days. :D Plus, as Icy and Oren will show you, I got a nifty Pullip postcard that will go up on the bookcase o-Pullips. *happy dance* I love little things like that. and the best bit? Really, really nice. I don't know if that can ever be stressed enough. Now I just kick myself for not ordering from them earlier. :p

As for the doll, somehow she gives the impression of being smaller than the other girls. I don't know why or how, but she does. I wonder if it'll be the same way when I redress her? She's adorable though. Smitten! Oddly enough, she's also the youngest of my dolls [newest] and the oldest [in terms of production]... Which is amusing. However, if the sneaky [livejournal.com profile] pullipstyle has their way, someone else will claim that honor shortly.

Hurry up payday. I have to pay off Paja!

Oh, and I feel like I'm on fire, but apparently I'm freezing to the touch. o_O
