Headacheee

[tju_tju_tju_tju]

I have a headache. Woe. :( I hate how coffee can sometimes give me a headache. Maybe I shouldn't have had one at 6 at night.

Anyway, not much has been going on. In about twenty minutes I'm gonna head downstairs and check into my new dorm. Today shall be my last night watching Heroes here. :( I hope someone in my new dorm has a TV, otherwise I will either have to a) buy one myself, or b) have to wait until someone uploads it to Teh Interwebs later that night. Which would be annoying, but I guess I could live with it.

I'm also going to apply for a job at Target -- in New Jersey, and weekends only. They'll probably hire me... my mom, who used to work at a Target, says they always need weekend people, and I'm awesome and stuff, so "they'd hire [me] in a second". Yay? :D I have to actually go in the store and apply though, apparently, according to the website, so it'll have to wait until next weekend.

Also also! I'm making a playlist of potential new bands for my mom, because she is tired of listening to the same bands all of the time. Her taste runs towards heavy metal/hard rock, but not screamo or anything like that... stuff like Guns N' Roses, Creed, Puddle of Mudd, Led Zeppelin, Queensryche (which is her fav, and if any of you know who the hell they are you get a prize!), AC/DC, Queen, that sort of thing. Anyone got any suggestions? :D

I have to do that with all my show beeyatch. true, it is annoying to have to wait until the next day and avoid the flist, but I almost prefer it to be honest.

new bands, huh? hm. I think you might have pretty much named everyone I would have chosen. maybe 30 Seconds to Mars? I don't think she'd like them though, on second thought. White Stripes? I'd say Cage the Elephant, but you'd have to order that as an import from the UK (which is really expensive) or directly from the UK itself.

[tju-tju-tju-tju.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was dying last week when I had to wait until midnight for someone to upload Heroes. XD But it'd be okay, I think.

LOL I don't think she'd like 30 Seconds to Mars... I've already put The White Stripes on there, too. And I'll check those guys out. Thanks!

There's a link to Cage the Elephant's myspace on my journal somewhere. you can listen to a couple of their songs, see what you think. if you like it - or think your mom would - I ordered the album and it should get here in a few days; I can upload it for ye.

[tju-tju-tju-tju.livejournal.com]

I'll do that later, then -- and thank you in advance!

Your mom likes Queensryche? That's SO cool!

I really have to recommend The Heroin Diaries by Sixx:AM. It's a band formed by Nikki Sixx (of Motley Crue), and their music is based on his journal entries from when he was addicted to heroin and his rehab process. Sounds super heavy, right? Well, a lot of it is really uplifting, actually. The song "Life is Beautiful" is one of my favorite rock songs ever. If I get the chance tonight, I'll upload it for you.

Also, the new GnR album Chinese Democracy is out, I think, and the couple tracks I've heard off that are pretty good. [/metal rant].

[tju-tju-tju-tju.livejournal.com]

Holy crap! Someone knows who they are! XD My mom is totally in love with the lead singer and stuff. She got him to sign her pants at a concert, haha.

Oh, yeah, I remember hearing that song! I saw the video when I was watching "Metal Mania" one night (my parents are some srs metalheads). I'll check that out; thanks!

She actually doesn't like much Guns N' Roses beyond the Appetite for Destruction album, heh. *should've been more specific*

ETA: AGH WHY LIVEJOURNA GOTTA BE REPLACING ALL MAH ICONS? D:

Sweet; thanks!

ETA: She probably wouldn't like those too much (though she wouldn't hate it), but I love them, so thanks!

[undersea.livejournal.com]

lolol. i fail at recommending music. XD glad you like them at least.

[symphonic-dame.livejournal.com]

Hi. You don't know me, but I snagged some of the songs you uploaded :D

Just wanna say thanks!! esp. for Hold Tight [cause it's in Deathproof!!], which is the uhhsomest.

Why are you moving into a NEW dorm? Also YES. Away from the shitty roommates.

I spoke to my RA about moving out & she's all like "Yeah, Okay. I'd hate to lose you, so I want this to be your last option." T_T cry me a river.

[tju-tju-tju-tju.livejournal.com]

Because before, I was a triple occupant and wasn't supposed to be there... so now I'm in a room with one other person instead of two people.

Aw, that sucks. You should try again -- did you explain the antagonistic attitude towards you from youe entire floor?

[nimoe.livejournal.com]

I TOTALLY did, and she DIDN'T FUCKING BELIEVE ME.

&&&then she said that I should TELL THEM HOW I FEEL.

THE FUCK?!?!

[running-shadow.livejournal.com]

you're incredibly awesome and stuff, so they better hire you :D

[tju-tju-tju-tju.livejournal.com]

Aw, thanks! *huggles*

[beggar-always.livejournal.com]

I feel your lack of TV pain. But, I've had to rely on teh interwebs for the past couple years, and I've survived. :)

Target's pretty cool to their employees. I worked at one for awhile. And right now's when they're doing their hiring for the holiday shopping season. Which can be hectic, but hey, it's money. Good luck!

[tju-tju-tju-tju.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm gonna have to settle for Hulu and downloading, it seems. There isn't really anywhere to put a TV.

It seems that way, although my mom frequently complained about how, the higher up you were, the LESS you actually did (she was a Team Leader and hated that they expected her to delegate all her work -- she likes to actually WORK at her job). Thank you!

[phoenixjustice.livejournal.com]

Yay I get a prize then! xD I definitely know who Queensryche is--my taste runs mostly on heavy metal/hard rock/rock too. xDD ...though I have some pop mixed on my MP3 player with my metal/rock too...I'm weird like that. xDDD

Um... bands? let's see...

Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne, Def Leppard, Wolfmother, Saliva, Three Days Grace, Alice in Chains, Velvet Revolver, Stone Temple Pilots, Korn, Disturbed, Godsmack...

I could go on, lol

[tju-tju-tju-tju.livejournal.com]

Haha, that is awesome! :D That's two people now who know who they are...

My mom actually already likes most of those on your list! Especially Godsmack; she loves them.

[phoenixjustice.livejournal.com]

Yup! lol. I grew up on all that music, so I definitely know lots of bands.

Awesome! Yeah, I love Godsmack too--which is weird cause I used to HATE them. *Shrug* They grew on me after 'I stand alone' lol.

Oh! What about Ronnie James Dio? Does she have any of him? How could I forget Dio?! *headdesk* If only I could find somewhere to download his songs ;______;

Oh! And there's also Metallica, Megadeth, Rage Against the Machine, Soundgarden, Audioslave...

[tju-tju-tju-tju.livejournal.com]

Yep, she loves Dio too! :D And Metallica, and Megadeath (I think). Basically most of the older heavy metal bands (she hates Alice Cooper, though).

[phoenixjustice.livejournal.com]

Awesome.

Idc too much for Alice cooper either, lol. Though I like his song 'Poison'...

[symphonic-dame.livejournal.com]

Ooh, Target. Good luck!!

As for the music recs, maybe your mom will like Kings of Leon? especially their older albums. They're 'edgy' rock but w/ a Southern flavor. I guess..kinda like a Southern Jet. Some people dub them 'Lynyrd Floyd' too, if that helps to describe their sound.

I can upload some tracks if you want.

[tju-tju-tju-tju.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :D

I'm listening to a song of theirs now, and they sound like they might work! Could you upload one or two tracks for me?

[symphonic-dame.livejournal.com]

Uhhsome!! Which song did ya listen to?

And no probs, I'll upload three ;D :
