a list that describes my sophomore year
books
brave new world - best book i've ever read. i think about it all the time
a visit from the goon squad - the part about the punks in 1970s new york was pretty cool
the catcher in the rye - i didn't read this this year but i kept finding myself relating many of the themes to my life
animal farm - i know we read this in school but it's still one of my favorite books ever. i love allegories
the white stripes / de stilj - best white stripes album and the opener is sooooo good
zoo kid / zoo kid - this is the coolest album i've ever heard and it doesn't hurt that zoo kid is super attractive
deerhunter / halcyon digest - very very beautiful and many of the songs manage to give me chills
minks / by the hedge - this album puts me in a strange state of mind. i like it though and i think it's fantastic for a chilly, rainy day
the velvet underground and nico - this album had always intrigued me but i don't think i truly appreciated its brilliance until this year. heroin is probably the best song ever written
pavement / crooked rain, crooked rain - whenever i hear this album, it always makes me think of california skateboarders in the 1990s. i wasn't there so i can't really say, but i have to imagine that it was pretty cool
led zeppelin / I - one of the sexiest albums of all time. i mean just listen to that bass line in dazed and confused. hot DAMN.

the beatles / white album - my favorite beatles album by FAR
the strokes / is this it - it had to go on here. the tightest album i know (although it might have overstayed its welcome this year). still, it just gives me that feeling...
dazed and confused - i genuinely just love this movie. it makes me happy
wayne's world - PARTY TIME PARTY TIME
the virgin suicides - a beautiful but unsettling movie. sure, it's a stereotypical tumblr movie but still, it's fantastic
clerks - one of the funniest movies i've ever seen
gummo - the most haunting movie i've ever seen but also the most memorable

result of a weird psychological test that i thought was scarily accurate
You are expecting too much from the world and this lack is expressing itself in frustration and dismay. Often there will be a distinct problem with a loved one caused by unrealistic expectations of perfection. If this is the case, then there may be sexual problems caused by this lack of understanding or empathy.
Feelings of insecurity, both physical and mental, are creating stress and anxiety at the moment. A desire to experience the fullness of life is being met with frustration. You are searching for both fulfillment and sympathetic friendship, and unfortunately finding neither. There is a desire for intimate connection to the outside world and a fear that this may not be possible.
