My Music

"...what the ****
is you gonna do
about it..."

(followed by amazingly heavenly moment of electronic magic...bzt bzt bzt bzt bzt! It's Simian Mobile Disco's Hustler, by the way...)

Pause a moment! Whoa Angelina, quit singing! Someone might be listening. You're sitting on the bus surrounded by people. Singing out loud is going to break just about every bus-social-norm there is. Not to mention the fact that your friends are going to make fun of you again...hmmmmmm...

Today's playlist of choice: "Argh, you're being a social retard again?"

Songs:

Hustler (Simian Mobile Disco, Armand van Helden Remix)

What Else Is There (Royksopp, Trentemoller Remix)

Panic Attacks (Rogue Element, Benassi Remix)

The Repetition Kills You (The Black Ghosts)

Must be played quite loudly, to get the desired effect of drowning out my thoughts.

Why is this particularly necessary? Most of my music is categorized by mood. This one is reserved for days when I'm mad at myself for being a social retard.

Maybe social retard isn't specific enough--how about "situationally socially retarded"?

I'm quite socially adept under most circumstances, it's just the presence of certain people (or, at the moment, a certain person) that I forget how to act like a normal, intelligible, friendly human being.

It's a terrible weakness, which will continue to make me miserable until I find a way to remedy it (other than resulting to my music as therapy...). Unfortunately, talking to him seems to be out of the question. Unfortunately again, talking is a major part of human interaction.

Argh, you're being a [situationally] social retard again?

Yeah, great, I know.
