The Mountain Goats – “You or Your Memory.”
St. Joseph’s Baby Aspirin. Bartles & Jaymes.
It’s a song about half-heartedly attempting suicide with the knowledge you aren’t actually going to die. Or, as I interpret it, trying to reap the benefits of some major life lesson without actually having to learn the lesson. Which is, ah, something I attempt on the daily.
Another song that mentions Bartles & Jaymes in a completely different context can be found here.
And some Tom Petty’s right over here.
Two years ago I started this silly little blog so I could talk out my thoughts, get over my insecurities and connect with people I had already been reading for some time.
I was twenty, coming out of what I soon realized was a pretty messed up relationship and coming to terms with the fact that I had become depressed. I wasn’t doing things for the right reasons and I wasn’t happy with myself.
I’m not saying this blog fixed things. But I am saying that it is an interesting marker of how things can change in two years. And it certainly wasn’t a detriment: I’ve met wonderful people, learned a lot about myself, and, honestly, above all, grew up.
Thank you for taking this journey with me.
<3, Ivy

I may have gotten a little too stressed and broken a rule.
Freaking thesis, getting me into trouble.
Because whistling while you work can get rather obnoxious.
So, I suck at this, but here’s another installment.
“Moon River” – Audrey Hepburn.
I used to drive home from the gym to this over the summer, when the sun was setting. It’s the kind of song that can make a freeway seem lazy and quiet and driving at 75 feel like cruising at 25.
For another with a similar effect, look here.
For something to roll the windows down and blast while you’re driving at night, look here.
I’ve got a habit of arranging those monogrammed towels in furniture stores to spell things like “send help”.
But this takes the cake.
Well, thank you. I’m very flattered.

provided I wear a seatbelt.
Tantrum material.
