she's a little one

they'll name a city after us

And later say it’s all our fault
Then they’ll give us a talking to
Then they’ll give us a talking to
Because they’ve got years of experience
We’re living in a den of thieves
Rummaging for answers in the pages
We’re living in a den of thieves
And it’s contagious

too, too often

we try to define things that don’t need explanation or titles. Relationships, future goals, current feeling of emotion—all these things are so hard to pinpoint, so hard to truly explain with a simple phrase or status. Trying to narrow down the role someone plays in your life, or trying to explain to someone that you can be simultaneously stoked and terrified of life, or trying to keep an open mind about what lies ahead while needing to know all the answers immediately…trying to define all the emotions and scenarios and titles are draining. Lately I have been living my life by my standards, and that does not necessarily include defining everything. I suggest you do the same—it makes you much, much happier.

interesting...

I have realized that whenever I am dating someone, my music tastes really reflects my relationship with them, or something along those lines. For example:

• Jonah: lots of Flaming Lips, Third Eye Blind, and The Darkness//relationship: a very goofy, immature relationship
• Miles: a lot more rock stuff (classic rock especially), some weird indie shit that I tried to “get into”, music I have found that have changed my perspectives on music// relationship: my first love, easily changed my perspective on life and relationships, but like a lot of the weird indie shit I was into, thankfully outgrew
• Mr. Distraction: a lot of folky, acoustic stuff, lots of female voices//relationship: very calming and helpful for what I was going through, a sense of female empowerment about relationships and my place in them
• T: so lately, I’ve been listening to a lot of upbeat indie stuff…really peppy and interesting and flowy//relationship: fun, easy, taking it day by day in the flow of things

Can anyone else relate?

let's have some fun

BIG FUN

DEAR FRIENDS,

if you are ever sad,

drunk alone in your room,

or want to boogie,

LISTEN TO K.C. AND THE SUNSHINE BAND STATION ON PANDORA. You will not, I repeat, NOT be disappointed.

xoxo,

Michelle

Dwight Schrute: My girlfriend and I broke up recently; and I must say that I am relieved. Gives me a chance to sow my wild oats. In the Schrute family, we have a tradition where when the male has sex with another woman, he is rewarded with a bag of wild oats, left on his doorstep by his parents. You can use those oats to make whatever you want: oatmeal, bread, whatever you want, I don’t care. They’re your oats.
