Boring blah

basildestinyDAMMIT!!! First I started liking Sirius Black and now...now. Now I like John Mayer! I listened to Clairty and My Stupid Mouth. I'd heard and loved No Such Thing. And I'd heard and dispised Your Body is a Wonderland, Bigger Than My Body, and Why Georgia Why. However, armed with the knowledge that John Mayer is 26 and not some teenager, the songs suddenly take on new meanings. Your Body is a Wonderland is suddenly a very respectful song. And, there you have it, I like something I didn't like before. Damn. Armed with just a little more knowledge and everything changes. Weird how prejudices are like that. Of course, it just takes a little bit to provoke me into rethinking my opinions. I like people to argue with me and tell me "You're wrong and this is why."
And do you know how bad I have it? I've been convincing people that they would like John Mayer too. They would. I've been explaining the different feelings of the Live album versus the album versions. The live album is more of an nostalgic and happy tone as though he's looking back at things he's done and used to do with fondness and humor. The album versions are more depressing as though he's just done them that very day.
Someone really should stop me from thinking. Other people do this right? It's an average thing, yes? I assume it is because no one every says to me "You know, I've never looked at it that way." I think it's why I'm always let down when people don't look at it the way I do.
I've been meaning to post about this for a while, but always felt I would sound so conceited. Again because I am afraid that I do not have a mastery of the written word and it will come across in ways I don't want it to come across. I know I don't have a mastery when I read responses to some of my entries. Or maybe some people don't know me the way they should. I usually blame myself in these things. Better to take the blame since I know how I will react to it. I was reminded of this when Anita was writing about the HP fandom. How there are so many sides. I took Harry's side at first. As the reader is meant to do. But I didn't sort myself. My favorite characters are Dumbledore and McGonagall. What do I care what house I'm in? I can read about them without being in a house. I don't know. I'm kind of bored with talking about myself. I suppose that is what a journal is for though. I'm going to resist making this a private entry. Truth is that I do think about myself and I am selffish. Introspective, maybe.
I haven't written in the journal much lately. I haven't done much lately except play my game that mom bought me for my birthday. This game rocks! And I'm stuck. But it's really cool being a god.
Then I was going to write this really long angsty, depressed entry. But I came back home from picking up dinner and had a fun Marauders' chat. I feel much better now. The Gidlderoy Must Die Thread absolutely cracks me up. Narcissa would so let Lockhart do her... hair. It's pretty cool that everyone in the game sees him as bi. If they could wrench that mirror away from him, he probably is. Just relates better with the ladies. And for some reason, he likes Rab. I don't really understand what he sees in the guy. Maybe his amoeba-like qualities.

Date: 2004-04-01 08:25 am (UTC)I definitely relate to John Mayer! He's cool. I heart John now too! It's kind of a relief. I've spent some much time being different from my generation. Then I spent so much trying to figure out what my generation was all about and trying to figure out what went wrong that landed me in this depression already! And then, turns out, there are more people than those in my hometown that feel this way in my generation. Phew! Go your poet, your heart, and your twin. He's freakin' addictive!
