Forget your troubles, come on, get happy!

I've been rather negative lately. Time for a Happy Post Round-Up.

♥ Finished my Hunger Games entry for dark_fest! F YEAH! (The fairy tale verse...might be shelved for awhile. My brain can't process meter at the moment.) If anyone has the time to look over this story and give it a quick beta before tomorrow afternoon, let me know: otherwise, I'll just give it a once-over myself in the morning and send it in. (WARNING: this is a dark!fic. It contains non/dubcon themes and issues of maternal apathy/neglect. Umm...yeah.)

♥ GOING TO CHICAGO NEXT MONTH! F YEAH, pretend mini-vacations!

♥ Music Meme. Y'all now how I like those:

I've done this one before, but WHATEVS: music meme! Crying out for completion.

DO! That's my absolute favorite Joni Mitchell track--bittersweet and GORGEOUS! And ugh, Jenny Lewis's voice! So happy I saw Rilo Kiley in concert before they went on permanent hiatus; her newer projects just don't do it for me.

I'm just coming out to Chicago for a weekend visit. I have friends who live out there, and I'm hoping to meet up with flister evilhippo, the Queen of Chicago Hipsters. Are you out there as well?

I got the first Rilo Kiley CD when it first came out because I'd heard that one song (I can't even remember the name!) on the radio. I ended up not liking the entire album very much and eventually gave it away.

Yup, I live in the Chicago suburbs and go to school in the city. I hope you have a great time when you come here!

Random, but I just realised that I did not have the Rilo Kiley CD and never gave it away. Now I'm trying to figure out which CD I had, which band it was, and I cannot figure it out for the life of me. OK anyway, sorry about the random post taking up space in your comments :D

LOL! No worries. I'm amazed you were able to find the post where this discussion took place! In anyway, I'm relieved to hear it was not Rilo Kiley that you disliked so much. (They're one of my favorite bands!)
