From Response to Rant  

Posted by Eryn

Note: This is in response to Will's comment, from my last post, which can be found HERE. It just got be so long and, ultimately, off topic, that I felt it deserved to be it's own, official post, as opposed to a comment.


Yes, my brilliant plan to make them hate me, so I don't feel entitled to buy any of them anything for Christmas, is working... X3 'just kidding.


I spent hours listening to their songs (albeit among those of various other artists you like); how have I not been properly introduced? Just the other day, amongst the clutter of your desk, I saw that little list I made, oh-so-seemingly-long-ago. Anyways, if you want me to form a more positive association with your precious NIN, you'll either have to forcefully apply a tire iron to my head, or do something ridiculously endearing while their songs are vomiting in the background.

As for Death Cab, it is among the tastes I've acquired from you--like Thai food and politics... though, I still don't love politics. It's like watching temperamental children play Hungry Hungry Hippos. So, then, the voters are, (of course), the little balls the gluttonous hippos must consume, so that the child controlling their jaws can gather the most, and win the game. Not exactly a sport crowds flock to, am I right? But, if someone you respect, and enjoy listening to, points out the strengths and weakness of each child, and those of their respective hippo(s), it develops into a discordant science that just becomes impossible to ignore...

Bah, enough! I need to lay down for a bit before I start my Deutsch III, "project". (¬.¬)

Yeah, I remember that you did. The only reason I say that (and perhaps I didn't word it very well) is that it seems that many of us took a while to warm up to NIN but then became die hard fans. That includes myself. I was really kinda "meh" on it when Troy first game me The Fragile to listen to in 10th grade.

I suppose with all the similar case studies around me it's hard for me to think anything different will happen to you. :)

Yeah, I'm probably gonna have to renew my interest in Death Cab--I haven't listened to them in quite some time. And I never listened to them as much as I wanted to back in the day.

I'm glad your blogging. I enjoy reading it. And apparently, so does Phil.

I probably should have just put this post as a comment in the last post, given the massive comment I just put there that really follows up this one of yours, but... whatever. I'm still getting used to this.

I maintain that the flaw in your case studies lies in the lack of variety in your subjects' backgrounds.

I didn't realize that was Phil until you said it was. I'm a little embarrassed for not investigating who it was immediately after his first comment. (Sorry, Phil.) Well, I guess that means I'm not as boring as I thought I was, eh? (X3)

P.S. I've decided I like the long intro. Huh.
