"Yeah, but maybe she's just a lazy whore. That happens right? They can't all have hearts of gold"

Thank you Wonderfalls for that lovely gem right there. So, I said I'd explain the healing capacity of the following song:
It's usually the first song I listen to when I'm angry at someone (especially if the reason why I'm mad has anything at all to do with my love life - or lack thereof). I think it's partly because of the video. Taking out anger in a physical way. Because she seems to have the upper hand. Which is something I feel like I'd always like to have, but when I'm angry or sad, I often don't have. I also think sometimes I relate to the lyrics. It calms me down, just because it reminds me of things to be rational about. And it reminds me that I do have the power to make my own decisions in my life, even when it feels out of control. Even when I feel like I'm not strong enough to change anything that's bothering me. It was the first addition to a playlist, affectionately titled "The douche list" on my itunes. I made the list when I was mad at someone, and it has served me pretty well since then. I guess I'll explain my favorites from list. Because that seems like something fun to do.
Call Me When You're Sober - Evanescence: arguably my second choice, it's exceptional for when you're mad at someone because of alcohol-related incidents.
Skin - Alexz Johnson: yeah, it's from Instant Star, which is a terrible show. But when I saw the episode with the song, I had to seek it out. Really, it's supposed to be about her father who's cheating on her mom, though everyone thinks it's about her own cheating boyfriend. Mostly it's about someone having a hold on you that you can't shake. And how you have to get rid of it. It's spiteful and angry but still kind of sad, which is why I like it so much. Even if the show is terrible.
Since U Been Gone - Kelly Clarkson: This is another where the music video is half the fun. I love how much fun she has with taking out her anger on everything this guy and his new girlfriend own. And it highlights the positives of being single.
The Breakup Song - American Hi-Fi: Even though it's kind of whiny, I love how much he seems to hate her. Plus the line "don't hang around, don't call my friends, they won't know who you are" is something wonderful to yell when I'm mad.
Sin Wagon - Dixie Chicks: I love that this song is from the perspective of a woman who's been controlled for a little too long, and she's just going out and having as much fun as she possibly can. No matter what that might entail. She acknowledges that maybe it's not the best idea, but she still does it. It's kind of awesome.
Bonus Mosh Pt. II - Taking Back Sunday: "It's love, make it hurt, I deserve it" lovelovelove. for when I'm more sad then angry
Snake Devil - Scary Kids Scaring Kids: "She said I want you to know before you let me go, it's your fault I'm demoralized" I think sometimes I am that girl, but I never say anything. She also seems extremely spiteful. And dear god, if I am full of anything, it's probably spite.
Jude Law and a Semester Abroad - Brand New: This one has an excellent mix of both spiteful anger and still caring for the person that it's directed at. I think I relate to some of the sentiments in the song, at some level. Also "and even if her plane crashes tonight she'll find some way to disappoint me by not burning in the wreckage or drowning at the bottom of the sea" sort of makes my life.
Note: I wasn't at all angry at anyone when I decided to write this. Oddly, I decided to write this when I was perfectly content.
