Just realized in yesterday's entry, I made it sound like it was the Buffy episode that was making me so sad. It's actually the break-up with the boy, but the soundtrack to the break-up (in my head) is the song from Buffy. All tragic and heart-wrenching. I'm feeling much better today - a good night last night, hanging out, being friends - something we were always better at than being lovers - and my eyes have been dry for at least 18 hours or so. Also put my Peace Pleas text up for N's showing of the MoveOn.org movie and enjoyed reconnecting with that time, the project, the passion, those words. They were better than I'd remembered ... funny how that works.

Ahhhh...the Nine Inch Nails break-up. I had one of those. My first love, actually. I copied lyrics from Pretty Hate Machine into my journal. Years later, I had a break-up to the tune of the Fragile album. Sometimes it's helpful to evoke feelings I'm trying to suppress. Sometimes it drives me deeper into depression. Sometimes it makes me aware of my own melodramatic tendencies. Almost always makes me wonder why Trent Reznor has yet to get therapy, and what would happen to his music if he did.

Music is a great catalyst for me, I use it as an accelerant of pain and joy Theres nothing better then being REALLY down and listening to that perfect track that encapsulates your feelings completely It enhances the pain, and as a side effect, resets the relative scale of suffering. I always feel much better afterwards.

Music does the same thing for me with elation, but fortunately I dont feel like shit afterwards But I do crave more

Oh shit, another vice.

-Ssssssssss
