Usually, I spend a ton of time on the internet, which I very much enjoy! This allows me to check my flist in small increments, to reply thoughtfully to posts that interest me, and to have some small, dignified gchats with my friends. Usually, I am at SCHOOL. But this has been the summer of Me Having a Legit Job, and suddenly, I have no time! For anything! Ever! And with the amount of time I've had for interneting lately, it's been like flinging my arms out wildly in all directions and hoping to hit a few of you. Not cool.

Not to mention the way that my computer, my internet, and my ELECTRICITY are all conspiring to cause me pain, by kicking me off of AIM and Gchat every second of my life. UGH.

While my internet continues to suck aaaaass, I'm sitting here watching music videos, and wow, WOW, you know who's hot as shit? Beyonce. Also, Shakira. Also, Rihanna, with her short hair. Oooh, look, it's Gerard on my TV screen! Helena! Oh, FRANKIE, hurling yourself around like a tiny tattooed missile. Lindsay Lohan chose to play this video, ahahahaha. The irony, it burns. I don't really miss Gerard's long emo hair, tbh. Although I do miss Frankie's lip ring, oh my LORD, do I miss that! I don't think we as a fandom have mourned Frank Iero's lipring the way it deserves. I MISS IT SO MUCH, YOU GUYS, SO MUCH.

Oh hey, Timbaland! The Way I Are! I love this song!

God, Beyonce is a hotass. SERIOUSLY. SEEERIOUSLY.

Oh heyyyyy there again, Gerard! It's Teenagers! I love you and your doofy little faces. Wow, they sure bleeped a lot out of this video. What you got under your ____ will make them ___ for the things that they did? Ouch. That's painful to listen to, because you can't not think about the reason for it. It's even worse than just playing the lyrics as they are. And oh, my heart, the little screen at the end. Gerard! You darling boy! Why couldn't you have, you know, picked a different single?

There are some TRULY precious random girls on my TV screen right now, introducing videos for MTV Hits. One of them is Asian and has an eyebrow piercing, and the other one is sarcastic and dark-haired and wearing a Cannibal Corpse t-shirt. I kind of want them both, I won't lie.

It's interesting how emotionally inaccessible female musicians strike me as being, compared with male musicians. Or – well, okay, there are male pop stars who I can't imagine identifying with, I suppose, like Ricky Martin and his ilk. But still, I don't know. Gwen Stefani. I can't get inside her headspace at all. Not at all. And while Shakira seems totally awesome and I would sleep with her in a hot second, I still have a lot of trouble feeling like I can get inside her head. I'm not sure why this is – I'm hesitant to just blame objectification straight up, because I'm sure it also has something to do with the fact that so much of my experience as a reader has been to get inside the heads of men. And a lot of it is self-presentation, which, I don't know. I'm not sure. It just makes me a little sad, I guess. Avril! I want to understand you! I want to see myself in you! Can we be friends?

OOOOH LOOK IT'S TRAVIE ON MY TV SCREEN OMG. And Bob McLynn!!! and Pete in an Elvis costume! AND PANIC AS FURRIES. God, MTV is so much more fun for me lately! Jesus, Keltie, how hot are you? SERIOUSLY. KELTIE. ILU MOST.

RELIENT K. I love this band! They play the happiest songs ever, EVER. "This is the best thing! The best thing that could be happening!" <3333 shoemaster and I always talk about how Must Have Done Something Right is such a perfect Fraser/Kowalski song.

We should get jerseys
'Cause we make a good team
But yours would look better than mine
'Cause you're out of my league

And I know that it's so clichéd
To tell you that every day
I spend with you is the new best day of my life
And everyone watching us
Just turns away with disgust
This jealousy
They can see that we've got it going on

I'm rackin' my brain for a new improved way
To let you know you're more to me than what I know how to say
You're ok with the way this is going to be
'Cause this is going to be the best thing we've ever seen

If anyone could make me a better person, you could
All I gotta say is I must have done something good
You came along one day and you rearranged my life
All I gotta say is I must have done something right
I must have done something right

COME ON. Is that not the most F/K song ever? Man, I love it. You're out of my league! If anyone could make me a better person you could! You came along one day and you rearranged my life! We make a good TEAM! Oh, F/K kisses are the BEST, they are honestly the One True Pairing of my soul. ♥

Man, it's hilarious to me that I'm so into so-called emo bands now, because my music taste tends to be UTTERLY un-emo. I love songs where people are happy! and dance stupidly! and talk about how awesome they are!!! I honestly prefer insecure characters in fiction, but I loooove self-confident personas in songs. They just make me so happy.

Here is my happy, self-confident, gleeful, kind of bitchy playlist!
