It's Like He Knows Exactly How I'm Pretending To Feel


I have this friend on Facebook, a friend from high school, who updates most of the time with lyrics from painfully-emo songs. I kinda want to leave comment about "how 7 years ago" that is. Admittedly, I know nothing of their personal life, but can it real be all that much of an emotional whirlwind as to necessitate these melodramatic outbursts? And to crib the outbursts of others...it's just all so high school. (Not to mention the possibility that these lyrics are written of fictional emotions and events...all I'm saying is, no one's has so many effed up relationships as to fill several albums...and if these are based on true situations, it's become evident that you're the one with the problem, not the other in the relationship - I'm looking at your Dashboard Confessional guy; even Connor Oberst started penning some non-relationship stuff.)

"Damn; it touched the floor."
"Well you weren't going to put in your mouth anyways, were you?"

um, Martin's sister is kind of like that... everyday she misses her boyfriend & wants to escape from living at home. It reminds me of high school & middle school as well... it's all very dramatic.

What's equal or maybe even worse are those who say "[facebook user] is praying for all [his/her] friends who lost their job" or something like that, sometimes talking about some family who'd passed... it really creates this weird anxiety that I just don't want to have to deal with! like 'oh no is that my job' or 'someone I know?' 'I hope I'm not next!'

oh well. as Brandon Flowers sings "this is the world that we live in, I feel myself get tired" wouldn't that make a cool status update? :P

I'm sure it would be...but you must show restraint, Bobby!
