We swam among the northern lights, And hid beyond the edge of night. I'm waiting for the dawn to come, And sing a song to save us all. -Northern Lights by 30 Seconds to Mars

I think it's kinda pretty... You can tell I put a lot more effort into this 'cause I'm procrastinating from studying for my HUGE test tomorrow... eff my life. I'm so unmotivated right now. Just watched an episode of Supernatural and watched some YouTube videos, made this...
 
I'm just really sick of being stressed out all the time. I think I've reached the limit where I just don't care anymore.
 
Gyahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhgfuhhhhhg.
 
That's how I feel right now.

Mad World - Gary Jules
 
Love this song, but oh my god, it makes me want to cry. Especially this part:
 
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
And I feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me

Took me a long time to make this set. I don't know if I it needs something more though...
 
Modeled this one after another character of mine named Michael Grant. His stage name is a little more interesting...
 
Anyway, I feel like I could use a little more sleep, and a lot less stress, but when do I not feel like that?
 
I think I have things to say, but I can't quite remember, so I guess I'll leave it here.

If you're wondering "What the f*ck?" don't worry, so am I. I had the whole lovely set, and saw the legs and thought, "Hey, what would happen if I just stuck that in the middle of it?" Well, apparently the foot interacted so well with the circle, I just couldn't leave it out.
 
In other news: I am starving.

Over and Over by Three Days Grace
 
This set started to get very complicated, but I took away all the extra stuff and decided it looked better simple.
 
Anyways, why choose this song, this band? Well, Three Days Grace has been my official favorite band, almost from the start, when I began to get into music. (Briefly, it was All American Rejects, then Linkin Park.) I can't say that I like Three Days Grace's music more than my other (non official) favorite bands, like The Used or AFI, but their music holds a sentimental value. (If you haven't figured it out from my earlier six sets for this challenge, sentimental value counts a lot for me when it comes to music.) So, then why Over and Over, because it's not my favorite song by them? Well, Over and Over was the first song I ever heard by Three Days Grace. I was on youtube with my friends and we were watching a faxness video (pictures of Max and Fang set to music... Yeah, I was really into Maximum Ride at that point, but that's a whole different story). So yeah, it really all comes down to nostalgia. I do love, this song and this band though, even if I'm making it seem like I don't. It really is genius.

For a contest.
 
Kind of a crap set, but ah well.

For a contest.

Speeding Cars - Imogen Heap
 
I'm going to be honest about this: I hate her voice. I think she's a terrible singer, and if I heard this song for the first time today, I'm pretty sure I would hate it, but instead it holds nostalgic value. I got into music a little later than most, and I remember my two best friends at the time had become obsessed with this song. Solely from their singing it all the time, I memorized all of the lyrics, and being an overdramatic wannabe at the time, I loved all songs that mentioned suicide. (I was convinced I was emo and depressed at the time. It is a period of my life I am extremely ashamed of...) Anyway, funny thing, I hadn't actually heard the song, so I was convinced that the singer was a dude. Imagine my surprised when I heard it the first time. Anyways, the reason this song sticks with me is because I feel that it was the first song I ever really had a relationship with, you know? Sometimes I listen to it just to go back to that time in my life... a time I'm a little ashamed of, but still... I don't know. It's hard to express. Anyways, the second song I ever had a relationship with, I was also introduced to by my friend (who is (kind of) on Polyvore, by the way: dannitheawsome. I don't think she's signed in for almost a year, but whatever...). That song I call my first favorite song: Golden by Fall Out Boy.
 
Well, if you haven't noticed I like to think a lot about music, but not in the normal way. More in a personal, historical(?) way. I honestly spend hours meditating on this kind of stuff. I know. I'm weird.
 
By the way, I know the set is kind of crap. I just didn't want to put more effort into it. I mostly just wanted to write this note, heh. Well, a crap set for a crap song, right? Or crap memories.
 
Shit. I hate it when I get all nostalgic like this. Pull yourself back to the freaking present, Nick! Your not old enough to spend all your time in the past, in your regrets. F*$%. I'm going to go take a shower to clear my head.
 
If you actually read this entire note, well, congratulations and get a life.
