A Post for the Sake of Posting
It has been almost a month since I last updated this darling blog.
My life has been really hectic.
I feel like I am going all of the time.
Currently, I am taking most of the day off.
I have been napping on and off between breaking glass objects, looking at various websites, and listening to music.
Perhaps it is time that I, the infamous semisweet, share a bulletin about music, seeing as it's all Salt ever talks about...
I think I have pretty broad musical tastes.
I like to sample from the tray of diversity.
However, in order to more perfectly protect my identity, it is necessary that I share only my tastes that most people do not know about.
Berlin:
I adore Berlin. My favorite song is probably "The Metro." You should listen to it right now, because I doubt you ever have before. Other good tunes by them include: "No More Words," the obvious "Take My Breath Away," and "Masquerade." I love the semi-techno feel.
Joni Mitchell:
I own a shirt from a tour of hers that I did not attend. It actually happened the year before my birth. I own this shirt because my mother saw her live. My mother is six times more amazing for this feat. I enjoy the song "Lead Balloon." My favorite lyric is "An angry man is just an angry man, but an angry woman - "B****". " She is also an artist, which makes her more great in my eyes. She was actually more interested in art than music.
Norah Jones:
This needs no explanation. This woman's voice makes my soul melt. I don't think I can pick a favorite song.
This list isn't exactly a showcase of my broad musical spectrum.
I'll leave the rest of my tastes up to the imagination for now.
However, I will say that I enjoy hard rock and metal music.
I don't want anyone to gain the opinion that I only criticize Salt because of his musical tastes. I hope that it is obvious that his taste in music is not the problem I have with his posts.

the challenge
Seeing as I was challenged, I think I'll write myself a dandy little post.
Micah, I thank you for your comment from the bottom of my heart.
1. I am a girl.
2. I really dislike it when people post blogs just to complain about the generalities that they make.
3. I take a lot of pictures.
4. I have really broad musical tastes.
5. I really enjoy science.
6. I can be really mean sometimes, but I usually don't feel bad about it.
7. I've met Salt in person.
8. I cry a lot, but I don't think he could hurt my feelings.
Well, since I don't have anything to complain about, I think this post is finished.
