Money is happiness.

I apologise for not posting much- I have been very busy with many job interviews. This has been demanded by my sudden state of poverty due to the bank's change in policy (thank you, government).
Anyway, just to give you a brief update (erm, all 7 of my readers...) my soul-crushing efforts at finding a job in York has made me fifteen years old again... in music taste. I have turned back to good old emo in order to help myself drown in a pool of self-pity. I have gone back to listening to albums like Good Morning by Alkaline Trio (beautiful album) and Sing the Sorrow by AFI (an old favourite). Several more old favourites I am too embarrassed to admit to. Alas, I am sure that this state will not last. I keep trying to optimistically reassure myself that I will get a job or that my money troubles will somehow magically sort themselves. Ahh the joys of being a student. Here's a clichéd motivational poster which will... keep me motivated.

Although, to be honest, I think I prefer these versions...

I think I'll take the advice of the posters. Oh wait, I can't afford to.

"I will paint you in silver, I will wrap you in cold."

So today for the first time in a long time I listened to AFI's Sing the Sorrow. When I was a teenager I listened to this album obsessively and today I can still see why I loved it so much. I personally feel it is one of AFI's most beautifully written albums (actually, problaby the most beautifully written album I own). Currently I'm listening to the song Silver and Cold . My favourite lyrics in this song have to be:


"Light, like the flutter of wings,
feel your hollow voice rushing
into me as you're longing to sing.
So I,I will paint you in silver.
I will wrap you in cold.
I will lift up your voice as I sink."


I saw AFI perform at Newcastle when they were doing their December Underground tour. Unfortunately I did not get to see them this time round for Crash Love.


FYI: Sorry my posts have been so poor lately, I've been very busy with uni work. I promise to make time!
