Music to feed your emotions. I know that one! I found that every day on my way to work I was singing this one particular song, and now I don't sing it anymore. The song, which will probably be one you've never heard unless you're a major freak of a "Buffy" fan like I am, is one about...well, judge for yourself:

(Buffy's opening song, from "Once More With Feeling")

Every single night, the same arrangement
I go out and fight the fight.
Still I always feel this strange estrangement
Nothing here is real, nothing here is right.

I've been making shows of trading blows
Just hoping no one knows
I'm just going through the motions
Walking through the part
Nothing seems to penetrate my heart

I was always brave and kind of righteous
Now I find I'm wavering
Crawl out of your grave, you find this fight just
doesn't mean a thing
(She ain't got that swing)
(Thanks for noticing)

(Vampire Chorus:
She does pretty well with fiends from hell
but lately we can tell
She's just going through the motions
Faking it somehow
She's not even half the girl she...ow...)

Will I stay this way forever?
Sleepwalk through my life's endeavor?
(How can I repay...?)
(Whatever.)
I don't want to be...
Going through the motions
Losing all my drive.
I can't even see
If this is really me
And I just want to be
Alive.

Ah well, it exactly fit what I was feeling this last ten months. So I ditched my job with the agency for a bigger better scarier job, and now, I'm singing a different tune. Goes a little something like this...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAgh! Help! Help! What am I doing here?!!! Who am I kidding? EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEkkkkkkk!

:-)
