Early day today because of Thanksgiving break. Awesome. In addition to it being Thanksgiving, it's also my dad's 56th birthday tomorrow, so following my mom's suggestion, I'm making my dad a CD of songs I like. I know he likes a lot of songs I listen to, but I keep second-guessing myself over which ones he'd like, so it's becoming a lot more difficult than I imagined. blah.
1. Feels Like Home - No Use for a Name
2. We Used to be Friends - The Dandy Warhols
3. Love Burns - Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
4. Sleep - The Dandy Warhols
5. 'Merican - Descendents
6. Nothing With You - Descendents
7. Drunken Lullabies - Flogging Molly
8. To Youth (My Sweet Roisin Dubh) - Flogging Molly
9. Macy's Day Parade - Green Day
10. Waiting - Green Day
11. Careful - Guster
12. Goodnight Goodnight - Hot Hot Heat
13. Kill the Messenger - Jack's Mannequin
14. Kill - Jimmy Eat World
15. Honey and the Moon - Joseph Arthur
16. Franco Un-American - NOFX
17. New Kid - Old 97's
18. Hurricane - Something Corporate
19. Globes & Maps - Something Corporate
20. Existentialism on Prom Night - Straylight Run
21. It's for the Best - Straylight Run
22. Aside - The Weakerthans
23. Watermark - The Weakerthans
24. This is a Fire Door Never Leave Open - The Weakerthans
25. Exiles Among You - The Weakerthans
26. Lily Dreams On - Cotton Mather

No particular order, except the first one and last one (for some reason I really like those songs for the open and the close). Not final, since I probably won't have enough room for this many. I think I'll take off Nothing With You, since the only reason I put it on was it mentions Seinfeld, and one or two of The Weakerthans' songs, and maybe It's for the Best. I don't know. I'm still trying to decide. I'm still afraid that some of these songs I'm not picking because I think he'd like them, but more because I do. I don't know. =/

So, anyways, you know that Euro test I took last Friday that I said I failed because I knew 5 out of 80 for sure? I got a 62% on it. Yeah. Told you I failed. sigh. I really need to start studying for that class (though if you get a 4 or 5 on the AP exam, then he changes both semesters' grades to A's, so I guess it's not that big of a deal if I get a B). I actually did start studying, because we had a quiz on Tuesday, and I studied for hours, and then we ran out of time so I studied a bunch last night for it and we didn't have time for it today, either. blah.

The essay Monday in English also happened to be terrible. But I finished An Instance of the Fingerpost (the book my essay was on), and it was so freaking good. Difficult to write about, but so good. It doesn't start out that great, but once you get to the end everything's tied together so well, and it's just so awesome. I'm totally going to start rereading it this weekend.

I'm reading The Skystone just cause I happen to have it. And I actually like it. Yaye.

Heh, awesome. I actually am not sure if I'm going to read An Instance of the Fingerpost right away. Part of me just wants to wait like a month and then try reading it again, but the other part of me wants to read it right away. [shrug] I don't know. I'm thinking about it.

I love reading just cause I have the time. I haven't read anything for pleasure since like, school started.

I know, me too. Unfortunately there are too many books I want to read. bah. I still haven't finished the second book in the Crystal Cave series and I got it like 2 months ago.

Happy [early] birthday to your dad, who has much better taste in music then mine does :)
& I wouldn't stress too much about what songs to leave on/take off, I'm sure your dad will love whatever you give him.

Heh, yeah, my dad does have pretty good taste in music. Well, I don't know if he'll like everything on that list, but I do know for sure that he likes bands like Green Day and Flogging Molly, so there are at least some songs on there I know he'll like. Yeah, I'm sure he'll like it no matter what, but I don't know. I'm still worried.

14. Kill - Jimmy Eat World

I love love love that song. Happy birthday to your dad! :)

Yeah, I really like it too. For some reason I just uploaded that CD like a few weeks ago when I've had it since it came out last year, and I clicked on that song randomly to listen to in my iTunes and fell in love with it.

Happy early birthday to your dad :D

the learning thingie...reminds me of my studying ô_O *should start learning too*

woohoo I only know one song on your list for sure (we used to be friends...because I *love* Dandy's Welcome to the Monkey House...and of course Veronica Mars)...how pathetic ô_O

[http://users.livejournal.com/brokenrecord__/]

Heh, that's not pathetic. The songs I have on the list are mostly random and not as well known.
