This journal is now friends only. If you would like to be added, leave a comment for consideration. Most times I'll add you, but please leave a comment so I know who you are. I will not add you if you don't comment or we don't speak otherwise.

If you're here to start drama, no thank you.

I am a sporadic updater, but I read my friends list multiple times a day.

I post about my personal life, music, cosplay, and toy collecting so if you have no interest in any of those, we'd probably be better off not being friends.

I'm not involved in fandom and prefer to distance myself from it, so if you find that you are mostly a fandom poster, I don't think we'll get on all that well.

I'm one of those feminist killjoys your parents warned you about, an atheist, and tend to be quite left-leaning in my politics. For personal reasons, I don't usually add people that have politics vastly different from my own. If you have a problem with this, or if I'm not in line with your political values and this bothers you a great deal, it'd probably be not even worth your time to add me.

Edit 08/30/15 I did a somewhat sizeable friends cut today. Nearly all were inactive journals - if you feel that I removed you in error (i.e. you don't really post, but you do read) - let me know and I'll re-add you. Thanks for your understanding!

POP PUNK/EMO BRACKET PLAYLIST

Hi! Welcome to Livejournal! Remember Livejournal? I've been using this platform since 2003, off and on, to document my life in its many variations. It's been through every relationship I've ever had, good and bad, and everything in between. Therefore it only felt fitting to use it as the way to share my take on the Heart On Ur Sleeve emo bracket playlist currently being run by my friend Liz.

Now, as you'll see, I am not familiar with some of the included bands. Some I actively dislike; some are from a time period beyond when I stopped paying attention to music, or from when my tastes slightly shifted; and some just slipped my radar. For that, my friends Liz (@liz_the_lemur on Twitter) and Whitney (@EditrixW on Twitter) stepped in to pick up my slack.

These songs are listed in the order of the competition bracket and that alone - the only preference is in what songs I selected, not how they are listed. Please enjoy, and won't you follow me behind the cut?

( there are 64 songs back here, wowie wow wowCollapse )

So that's it - one song from each of 64 bands. I definitely went on a lot longer than I probably should have but what do you expect when you get a playlist? You get a piece of someone's heart, and a story to go with. This one just happened to be written out.

(regular readers, hi, I'll write a normal entry soon, but I had to get this out of my system!)
