Just own the night like the fourth of July

Does Katy Perry's Firework ever make anyone else cry on a regular basis? It always seems to come on when I've had a bad day and am thinking unkind things about myself, and I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be an uplifting song, but invariably I end up sitting in traffic, wailing at the radio, "But Katy, I can't."

No? Okay.

This really made me laugh, though: Graduate School Barbie -- comes in two forms: Delusional Master’s Barbie (TM) and Ph.D. Masochist Barbie (TM). *snorts* I feel you, girlfriend.

Also, One Direction has a new single out, and it's really good. I'm not just saying that because I like 1D; in all honesty, I think a couple of their songs are total lyrical crap -- I've still never gotten over the weird ickiness of the line from Gotta Be You, which goes, "Girl, what a mess I made upon your innocence," and just no -- but Story of My Life is lovely. Have a listen, won't you?

I'm not a 1D fan but that song is quite catchy and lovely.

I love that grad school barbie post -- I shared that with a friend of our family who was just talking about leaving her job and going back to school. hahaha

Katy Perry's Firework never makes me cry, but it is my all-time favorite motivating song for hiking steep hills.

Lolol, don't let her do it!

Heh, that is a much better use of the song. :)

Firework doesn't make me cry, but it's definitely one of those songs I turn up and get really into for the three minutes it's on. It's got a good message and she sings it with a lot of passion -- in such a way that you feel with her. *snugs*

*snickers at the Barbies*

I really like this 1D song. I like that it's not typical top 40 pop (even though it's definitely pop). The lyrics are nice, and the music has some character to it.

Also, thank you very muchly for the email *GLOMP!*

I do really like Firework too, it just seems to have the opposite effect on me that it should!

I've had this 1D song stuck on replay for the past three days. They all sound so good.

You're welcome! :)

Firework is one of these songs that - depending on my mood the moment I hear it - makes me either burst into tears or dance around the living room (and sing along *ahem*).

Real Job Skipper™!me is a liiiiiitle bit scared by the WARNING paragraph. :P

Cute song, doesn't sound quite as boy band-ish as some of the others they've released.

High five of solidarity! :))

Lololol, maybe this is one time we'll count ourselves lucky we don't live in the same area.

Yay! I do like the direction they're taking their music now. *resists urge to make bad joke about the word direction*
