Is this someone's idea of a joke?

I really don't like music much. When driving in my car, I usually listen to NPR or news radio or something like that. However, there's been so much stuff about Bush lately that I've had to stop listening (I hate him, I know he sucks, I don't need to hear more about him. 'Kay? Thanks!). So that leaves music. But as I said, I don't really like music much. Haven't for years and years and years.

But then it happened.

I was flipping around stations, and one was playing a song I remembered from growing up, so I left it there and listened. And then the next song came on, and I liked it. And I liked the next song as well.

What was this magical radio station? TSTL FM? All Thistle Music, All The Time? Nope. It was an "oldies" station.

Buh? Hold on, wait, excuse me? Since when did the music I grew up with become "oldies"? Gah, you fools! It's nice to listen to! It's fun! You can understand the words they're singing! It's not sung by 15 year old mostly naked sexpots! Gah.

So I guess I'm old, huh?

I'm semi-healthier, not that my co-workers would probably agree. I keep blowing my nose often and loudly (sorry, people!). Worst part is that my ears won't pop, and haven't since sometime yesterday. Ow ow ow. Pressure!

FFXI rocked last night! I had a lot of fun, probably the most I've had in a while. I killed my first ram! (Pretend there's a screenshot here, I just didn't have time to resize and upload it.) They're really big, really ugly creatures. After that, I went off and killed his wife and kids! Much sheep death! Rarrr! (I needed their hides.) I spent many hours killing sheep, and got a lot of the things I needed. Woo!

When I returned to town, I was very (very very) happy to see that a number of things I had up for auction sold. Yay! So I decided to do some crafting for profit... and wow! Almost every single one was HQ! (Amazing!) So when all this stuff sells, I'll have even more money!

I'm semi-planning on going back to sheep killing tonight, but that'll partially depend on how much stuff sells. My bazaar is pretty full!

Jon just got FFXI last night... so, uh... I guess I'll be watching TV more than I am using the computer. ;)

Oh wow! Yay! What server is he on?

[hamburger.livejournal.com]

Caitsith, he says. He's gonna let me try it later... I fear!

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Awww, wrong server (than mine). Oh well! Hope you both enjoy it! :)

I'm having a real chuckle over YOU saying "sorry" to your nose-picking, earwax-examining, fart-o-rama coworkers. Especially since I'm positive you're using a tissue and disposing of it afterwards. ;)

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

*laughs* True! They probably think I'm closer to being one of them now!

. Especially since I'm positive you're using a tissue and disposing of it afterwards. ;)

For sure! :)

ZOMG! It's Thistle the Sheepslayer!

Rarrr! :)

Geezer! Ha ha!

I've been taking evil lessons from firebyrd.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Ehhh, um. Does "Waaaul!" still work as a reply which will strike fear into you?

I don't like a lot of today's popular music either, and since I love stuff from the 70's, I don't feel it's worth the effort to try to slog through endless indy bands. But my complaints are the same as yours. I was very amused when Eric found a quote in a paper from Stevie Nicks basically pointing out that since people like Brittney Spears are selling their bodies, not their music and voices, they won't be able to sell their albums anymore when they're over forty, while Stevie Nicks still can and does.

That day won't come too soon!

<3 Stevie Nicks! :)

Amen for that, though I can't really talk, seeing as Brittney and Christina are both in my generation. >_<

At least I'm not stuck being the same age as Hillary Duff. Good god, now *that* girl's annoying. (can we go back to the nice shiny times of REM and Hootie and the Blowfish? Please?)

Anyway, all hail Thistle the Ram-killer! :D

I'd agree to that!

Isn't it exasperating to discover that you've become...OLD?!

*waves her cane at all the kids* Yeah. ;)
