Me: November 12. Her: Early December. Compromise: usually late November. Shea vs. Jason: How to […]

Music Monday – “If we were vampires and death was a joke/We’d go out on the sidewalk and smoke/And laugh at all the lovers and their plans/I wouldn’t feel the need to hold your hand”

A lot of my music-loving friends had posted something about this song but I’m embarrassed to admit I didn’t even give it a listen because I thought the title was terrible and reminded me of “Twilight” or something. But I finally gave it a chance and boy, was I wrong. Probably one of the most […]
