Bree!

First off, I forgot to post this like, a month ago and someone just reminded me. *This does not necessarily mean THE BEST, or even that they were released in 2007. It does, however, mean they represent moments-- of car singing, chair-dancing, live shows, Gossip Girl-watching, bad-day headphone blasting, break ups, bdays and so on. They are the best representations of my life, of Warped Tour, of my best times with best friends. In some cases, they even represent the worst times. I appreciate those songs for capturing that bundle of feelings, and for the fact that I can crawl back into the song, re-experience it in a sense, and crawl back out knowing that I'm a better person for having lived through and learned from that experience. Without further ado, The Fifty:

As if this movie doesn't already sound awesome enough (based on the children's book! directed by Spike Jonze who collaborated with author Dave Eggers!) Yeah Yeah Yeahs frontwoman Karen O has been asked by ex-boyfriend Jonze to write "songs and other pieces of music" for this big-screen adaptaion. (Pitchfork)

Excellent!

Look. I get that you have time on your hands. I get that some surveys and quizzes are fun. I get that in the whole process of self-discovery is tough and sometimes seemingly pointless activities like that help us understand ourselves.

But bragging/competing/poking fun at disorders and illnesses? Come on now, girls.

For those of you out of the loop, there's a bulletin going around titled, "Whichever illness You Have The Most X's in, As Your Bulliton's Title Write. I Am ______ . That is My illness" The categories are Anorexia, ADHD, Bulimia, Bipolar disorder, conduct disorder, OCD and schizophrenia. There are 6-10 "symptoms" aside each category-- and as someone who has studied psychology, has been sent to trainings (because I worked with teens at my last job), and been to therapy myself, I can tell you these 'symptoms' were NOT drawn up by a professional.

If you are genuinely concerned that you may be affected by one of these disorders, there are a WEALTH of resources. School counselers, forums, doctors, reading material, hotlines, etc.

But I'm calling bullsh*t on that bulletin.

I get that you're trying to figure out who you are. I get that adhering to any label feels better than now knowing sometimes. I get that you're reaching out because you don't know how else to get attention. I honestly get it.

Now knock it off.

So I know how obsessed you are with Brendon Urie, Ryan Ross and the rest of the guys. Figured I should put all of our awesome vidzzzz from the recent Honda event in one place so you can save it in your PATD fan folder forever and ever and send it around to your friends. Also -- check back right here on this page soon because there's more to come!

Enjoy!...
