I'm addicted to the sweet sadness.

I have this strange obsession with sad songs. Recently I can't stop playing "Yesterdays" by Switchfoot, which is about someone who died and the person left behind saying, "I remember you like yesterday." Before that, I have liked "Calendar Girl" by Stars in which the singer dreams that she was dying (though she doesn't want to die). Other songs include "Set Fire to the Third Bar" by Snow Patrol, which is just so damn beautiful you should listen to it like now. It's not really as "depressing" as death, but being far away from loved ones, etc., aren't very happy themes either.

The songs aren't emo or anything, and I am definitely not emo or depressed or anything. I just find the sweet sadness alluring. I also cry pretty easily, so I guess I like to let out those tears.

Meanwhile I have until Tuesday to cram as much biochem into my head as possible for the marathon exam. It sucks when you know exactly what you have to do, but the task is taller than the Sears Tower. It doesn't make it easier to not procrastinate.
