The Shred Room II (with extra youth)

And then it died of heat stroke when my mom put it outside in the summer because it smelled. And its name was Phoenix. Thus the cruelly ironic metaphor, you see. ;-)

Not in a degrading way, not sure how. Well I was trying to be funny, so at least I'm doing something right. ;-) I did actually write a humorous poem about killing mold for an English class and then used it as my lol, funny segment on all my college applications because I'm lazy. And then for a creative writing class in college I wrote a free verse poem using my pet hamster as a metaphor for the human condition.  Speaking of which, that hamster survived a 2 story fall with no injuries. To this day I don't know how that is possible. I think hamsters are just not very aerodynamic.

For some reason, I laughed really hard at that. But yeah, those poems sound interesting.

Yeah, I've had that---lately coupled with a feel of intimidation at just SO much stuff I haven't even touched yet.

I notice when I go through times of intense composing too that it's hard to get myself to stop listening to and/or thinking about my compositions; I almost have to force myself to listen to something else initially.

Ehh, it wasn't about small things either, to pack a worse punch.
The disconnected thing, I do that a lot when girls I'm not interested in flirt with me. I did that to a girl a few months ago, she ended up getting pissed off at me simply because I didn't like her back, so glad I didn't go out with her if she was gonna be a whiny bitch like that anyway.

And if they're emo you can punch them in the face. Jk. It just makes me think of a picture I saw on the internet once about punching emo kids in the face.

Add the debut and FII, and then sure, that works. Fixed again. I'm going to have to have a talk with you. Tsk tsk.

I still stand by my ACOS review. God do I dislike that album.
