you can tell a lot about someone by the type of music they listen to. hit shuffle on your ipod, phone, itunes, media player, etc. and write down the first 10 songs. then pass this on to 10 people. one rule: no skipping.

1. Spiracle- Soap&Skin 2. All You Do Is Talk- Black Rebel Motorcycle Club 3. New Perspective- Panic! At the Disco 4. So What- P!nk 5. You're Not Alone-Saosin 6. Howlin' For You- The Black Keys 7. Imitosis- Andrew Bird 8. This Charming Man- The Smiths 9. Teenagers- My Chemical Romance 10. Beggars Will Ride- Larry and his Flask

Rules: In a text post, list ten books that have stayed with you in some way. Don’t take but a few minutes, and don’t think too hard — they don’t have to be the “right” or “great” works, just the ones that have touched you. Tag [ten] friends, including me, so I’ll see your list. Make sure you let your friends know you’ve tagged them.

intheicyairofnight tagged me! <3 

I'm going to add parenthetical commentary and nobody can stop me. 

Harry Potter, JK Rowling (as is true for a large portion of our generation)

Redwall, Brian Jacques (WOW this series was my entire childhood. And heavily influenced my writing for years.)

The Bell Jar, Sylvia Plath (I relate to this on many levels, which is probably a bad thing. I love the poetic prose as well.)

Everything's Eventual, Stephen King (I read this book when I was in Connecticut for my grandfather's funeral. It was my first experience in the horror genre and it both enthralled and frightened me. It was at that point in time I came to the realization that my parents couldn't magically protect me)

The Book Thief, Markus Zusak (Again, more poetic prose. Many tears)

The Stranger, Albert Camus (Turned me on to existentialism)

And Then There Were None, Agatha Christie (Perhaps THIS was my first foray into horror? Anyhow, LOVE the unconventional murder-mystery setup; a genre I don't usually go for. Bottom line, I've always been a macabre little shit)

Treasure Island, Robert Lois Stevenson (My dad read this to my sister and I as a bedtime story. Probably began my lifelong obsession with pirates). 

The Call of the Wild, Jack London (Read this when I was about eight bc there was a dog on the cover and I loved animals. Was a bit over my head at the time, but that meant I could enjoy it even more when I re-read it a few years later).

I'm doing an overhaul of blog links so y'all should check out the cool people

It's still a work-in-progress though so more names might be appearing 

[tacticalthaumaturge]

You caught me. I'm weirdly turned on

Well, apparently my HvZ gear made me look like a “stripper dressed as a biker with a Nerf fetish”

So I now have to wonder about your tastes.

I haven't seen season 6 so I don't know if it's mentioned there, but is it just me or has Pete Campbell "aged" more than any other character physically?

I would say so. They make Vincent Kartheiser put on weight and shave his hairline back every year so it’s definitely intentional too. I would probably argue that Peggy’s physical transformation has been as drastic as Pete’s, but it’s less aging in that case than just having more money and experience to style herself differently.
