Yes, yes, hello. How is everybody? Good? I'm good. Partying hard and such.

I just got back from a wonderful week at speech camp. I've only been speeching for a year, I'm a rookie and I have no idea what's going on anywhere, but goddamn everyone at that place was such a wonderful person. All 64 of those people were kind, amazing, accepting, even and especially the ones you think wouldn't be. Just goes to show, those of us crazy enough to participate in speech are like one big, crazy, speeching family. 

I was there for Informative, and I wrote a lovely speech about temporal cloaking. Not sure if I like it enough to preform it all year, though. I'd best find another topic, in that case, but... I'm going to be gone for two weeks veeeery soon, and I have until Octoberish anyway to come up with one. Procrastinating, woo.

Highfive for boring pointless updates.

PS. This is a bit late, but I don't even care.

Whilst I was writing that post, I was listening to Spotify, right? Just on shuffle. And Ed Sheeran's song "Small Bump" came up, and I'm typing and tapping my feet and such, and I'm enjoying how cutesy it is and the imagery and THEN THE END JUST SORT OF SMACKED ME OVER THE HEAD AND NOW I'M SAD. FOR GOD'S SAKE, ED. WHY DO YOU HAVE TO DO THIS TO ME.

love, snowleancy.

Aaaaand... here's the real deal. Eventually, I'll be able to start actually talking about bloggy stuff, but for now, this is the end of my musical introduction. Enjoy.

I was able to add comments this time because I actually know the songs, whereas it would take me a very long time were I to do that with Spotify. Anyway. Regular transmissions will resume... eventually. Party hard.

Since this is a music site, I figured a real, proper introduction would be showing you the kinds of music I listen to and how I think about it. Therefore, I have decided to post two of those lovely shuffle quizzes (that I have way too much fun doing), one that represents my Spotify library and one my iPod. They're two completely different animals, believe me. This one, my Spotify library, is mostly complete albums chosen out of interest in the artist or totally on a whim. I haven't even heard most of these songs, to be honest. Anyway... here goes.

I always thought blogging was sort of weird, because it's not much more than a one-way conversation between me and you, and more often than not there really isn't any 'you' to speak of. So it's just sort of words, floating off into the nether, affecting little to no one. But people these days spend a lot of time doing it. Why? Because the human brain sucks at calculating probability and everyone believes that they will be 'the one' that breaks the mold and becomes the world's most successful [(insert your expertise here)] blogger.

...sorry, that was a bit dark. I'm not always like that... Anyway. This is my first day on SongMeanings and my first 'journal' (read: blog) entry on the site. Obviously... xD

Back on topic, I'm snowleancy, a name chosen for no aparrent reason off of a randomly generated list of names. Because I'm cool like that. As you can tell from my sort of 'about me' blurb... somewhere, I'm a teenager, interested in psychology, history, literature and writing, horror (mostly survival horror video games. I love watching them, though I'm way too much of a coward to ever play them... I can't even play Half Life, that's how bad I am...) and the wonderful piano. Most of my music is what I like to call 'Piano Rock,' partly because it's accurate and partly because it conjures up the scene in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure when Beethoven is rocking out. Some people call it soft rock, some call it alternative, some call it light... you know what I mean. Think The Fray, Coldplay, etc.

Anyway... I think that's a solid enough block of text. If you've read this far, I congratulate you. You either are that interested in my theories/personality/me or you really like finishing things. Either way, you deserve a cookie. Cheers! :D
