Mood: Frustrated
Music: West Side Story - I Feel Pretty
I've admitted recently my issue with Song Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (SOCD). I had that stage last week with The Gossip's version of Aaliyah's "Are You That Somebody."
Dirty South, East Coast...West Coast....
You get the point.

I've admitted recently my issue with Song Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (SOCD). I had that stage last week with The Gossip's version of Aaliyah's "Are You That Somebody." Dirty South, East Coast...West Coast....
You get the point.
I felt it was necessary to explain some more of my SOCD. I have songs for special occasions, for drama, for stress, for motivation, that I will listen to. So, let us take a journey, a journey into the depths of my 8107 beast of an IPOD.
When I'm feeling a little rambunctious, a little wanna get into some trouble, I will put on "A Thousand Miles" by Vanessa Carlton. Whenever I hear Vanessa beat those piano keys, I think I can take on the world and win with a fury! She makes me want to dance and dance! Yay!
If I feel a little silly, and I want to cause trouble, I listen to Britney Spears sing "Hit Me Baby, One More Time." Because that musical beat is slamming! SLAMMING! ROAR.
Alright, alright, I'm just joking. Those songs don't motivate me into doing anything except turning the channel, radio station, whatever.
However, there is one song that I do listen to whenever I'm overwhelmed and completely backed into a corner, a song that completely releases all the stress, all the tension, all the drama that is against me.
West Side Story's "I Feel Pretty".
Once or twice in my journal writing I have posted an entry where it was just the lyrics to the song, because I had virtually snapped. SNAPPED I SAY.
What I used to do is find it on the internet somewhere, and listen to it. I didn't even bother to buy it. Because, I'd just listen to it once or twice and I'd be settled. But yesterday, after some insane turn of events at the place I work, I felt it was necessary to go onto iTunes and download the complete soundtrack to West Side Story.
Now I realize that this is a song about a woman singing about how a boy makes her feel. Completely get that point, but it's not the point for me. I just like the freakin' song. Simple as that.
So basically, I have been placed in an almost impossible situation with a deadline that is absolutely unreasonable, unless I plan on living in this office to get it done. Which it has sadly been realized by me, that it is the path I'm going down.
Therefore:
I feel pretty,
Oh, so pretty,
I feel pretty and witty and bright!
And I pity Any girl who isn't me tonight.
I feel charming,
Oh, so charming
It's alarming how charming I feel!
And so pretty
That I hardly can believe I'm real.
See the pretty girl in that mirror there:
Who can that attractive girl be?
Such a pretty face,
Such a pretty dress,
Such a pretty smile,
Such a pretty me!
I feel stunning
And entrancing,
Feel like running and dancing for joy,
For I'm loved By a pretty wonderful boy!
