Migraines make me lonely

I know it's just my body winding down after a stressful day of pretending like it didn't feel like there were ice picks being shoved through my eyeballs from the brain side, but I feel really bummed. I'm cold and tired and every tenth breath comes out in a shivery gasp because my stomach just tensed and made me feel like I was going to throw up, and now, I'm lonely. And you guys know me, I don't get lonely. My biggest complaint is usually that people talk to me too much and take up too much of my time. I hate this.

Anyway, enough blah, blah, blahging. I'm going to fix food. Will be better tomorrow. As always.

Your best movie matches: Office Space, Showgirls, The Big Lebowski

This could potentially be pretty damn hot. Go, Jamesy, go.

Ok, apparently I'm straight edge, which I had to go look up on Wikipedia. The fuck? Am not. I just thought Leonardo was a good role model for me when I was growing up.

I demand lyrics in the cover art to CDs

I never thought this would be a serious issue for me, but it is. Some of you will know that I love The Get Up Kids. Go Missouri-bred bands, there are so few of you.

So here's the issue, they didn't have their lyrics in the cover art for the CD. I can look up the lyrics online, but those people are just transcribing what they hear half the time anyway. They don't know. So here's the line that's troubling me:
"Blind faith doesn't make a sale"
or is it:
"Blind faith doesn't make a sail"?

Logic leans toward the first, but a case could be made for the second as well. It's a little more metaphorical, but the whole song is a collection of one line metaphors and imagery so there's no real reason that that couldn't be the case.

Fucking homonyms.
