A lot of times I decide if I'm going to listen to a band just by their name. For example, I had never listened to Belle and Sebastian before they were confirmed for Roo because their name is terrible
Works the other way too though, I've listened to bands because I really liked the name. Most recently People Under the Stairs
Belle & Sebastian sound exactly how you think they would sound based on their name.

Earlier today I was using the stall at work (that's code for DROPPING A MASSIVE DEUCE, but I'm trying to be polite here), and a guy walked in, sighed heavily, and then left. For some reason, this made me feel good, like I was marking my territory and he fucking knew it. I don't know what this says about me.
I also learned that I still audibly giggle when guys fart while peeing. I do know what this says about me, and I hope to one day graduate to the third grade. =)

super trashy reality tv is my guilty pleasure. I love love love it.
new seasons of the bachelor, the real world, real housewives of beverly hills, and MTV's the challenge (my favorite) are all starting up. thank god there's nothing else to do in MN in the winter than drink wine and whiskey and watch tv.
also. I have watched an episode of each of these shows tonight alone. sooo yeah.
So, I watch The Challenge (as well as tons of other trashy reality TV, I love The Bachelor). Did you watch this week's episode? I had tears streaming down my face, I'm not sure I can watch this season...
it's the only concert I've been fully blacked out during. and it wasn't until almost a year later when I was looking up future islands' minneapolis dates when I realized they had previously played here. I clicked on it and realized "oh god. I was there." I have no recollection of even entering the venue that night. to be fair, there was a jameson "brand ambassador" at the bar before the show who was handing out free shots. and it's kinda fun to say I was blacked out during "black out days."
EDIT: future islands were opening for phantogram at the show I was "at" - whoops

I don't watch much reality TV but the Challenge is one that I do on occasion watch. I have been watching this season, bc I love CT and Diem... dying. All the feels.

I thought Phantogram had Black Out Days and Future Island was One Day... (in fact I am positive that Phantogram is black out days and so is your link)

I just started watching last night's episode and already have tears streaming down my face. I can't handle this.

I need to watch last nights episode, but I am scared to. I watched the first two episodes already and I know what happens, because of real life, but still. It is going to be rough. And I know that CT is a major asshole, but regardless, he has always been madly in love with her, and she with him and it breaks my heart that they never made it work.

GAHHHH. I watched the first couple of episodes and just.... blah! so sad, so emotional... CT totally loves her.
I've got a confession that never really occurred to me until someone called me out for it today.
I have a weird thing about numbers and I'm OCD about numbers being rounded to the nearest 5th. For example, the volume on the TV, stereo, car stereo, etc. can't be on 23. It has to be on either 20 or 25. I've always been like this. Idk where it came from.
Well, today my friend texted me and was like "Monica, why are you liking your own Instagram posts?!" I like my own post if it's at 14, 19, 24 likes to round it up to the full number because it drives me insane. If another person likes it and it's at 26 likes, I'll unlike it to keep it at 25. I don't do it on Facebook because it doesn't show you just the number. It lists names and stuff too so it doesn't work my nerve as much. (Although, right now I have a status that has exactly 15 likes and I hope it stays that way. I guess the fact that I know that means I do notice.)

I'm weird. I know.
I can empathize. I've struggled with (and at this point, accepted) OCD tendencies like this my entire life. I used to be an obsessive-compulsive hand-washer. I currently have this weird thing with my car radio that's kind of similar to your numbers thing. The volume on my car radio is displayed in terms of vertical bars rather than actual numbers. However, each incremental increase in volume is equivalent to half a bar. If the volume display doesn't show entirely full bars for an extended period of time, it really starts to bother me, and I feel compelled to change the volume for the sake of restoring symmetry.

I would do the exact same thing. Sometimes when I can't see the volume on something I'll even count to make sure it's on an increment of 5. Like I'll go all the way to mute and count as I hit the volume button.

This is easy. Math is your friend when numbers are the enemy.
Say you are on eight instead of five or ten: take three, (the difference between eight and five) and add two, (the difference between eight and ten); what do you get?
Eighteen bugging you? No worries: that is two less than twenty. BUT, if you take those two and add them to the twenty you rounded up to, you get twenty two. Add the two wonderful digits (2's) and you get four. Four multiplied by the original eighteen is seventy two. See where I am going with this? Add those two digits together to get nine. What is nine minus your precious five? Four. And four times that poor, belaboured five?

Twenty.
You weirdo.
What? Do you not know me at all?! I don't math. And what you just did there looked and sounded a lot like math. It hurt my head.
I think I'll just stick to my OCD method of counting to intervals of 5 and incessantly checking that the volume (or likes) is on an interval of 5.
