We made it through another one! I started round three in the hope that it would get me through quarantine, and it did, but now there’s more quarantine because it got extended for a little. Oh well. At least it got me through these first thirty days. I thought I’d end with a bang–one of … Continue reading Day 30: English Ivy – Rogue Valley
Day 28: Dying in LA – Panic! at the Disco How do you define popularity? It’s kind of a rhetorical question because popularity means different things for different people.

Day 22: Ashes – The Belle Brigade Right now, you probably want to go back to the way things used to be–you know, like six weeks ago. I know I do. It’s true when they say you don’t know what you have until it’s gone, and we’re all feeling that right now. We miss our … Continue reading Day 22 & 23: Ashes – The Belle Brigade; Rox in the Box – The Decemberists
Day 20: The Kids Aren’t Alright – Fall Out Boy We all have a person who helps us through things. Maybe it’s your mom or dad, your brother or sister, your boyfriend or girlfriend. Things are okay when they’re around, even when things aren’t all that okay.
