Happy sounds to bring in the New Year ;)

Wow! Quiet group! No one drinks coffee?

Ah! Awesome :)

Currently stuck in my head for no reason.

It is the guy from Bon Iver. The entire album is a musical take on the story of Opedius (Justin Vernon is Opedius, Anais Mitchell is Eurydice). Ani DiFranco has vocals in some of the songs as well (she plays Persephone).
The whole album is quite awesome. Every song ties into the story but has it’s own awesome sound.

Madeline, you are pretty damned awesome! Thank you for sharing your thoughts about this with us! And Lauren — I hope you find the courage to ask out a really cute girl!

Late reply but: Omg I totally feel you — I’m a 21 y/o college student going through a similar thing. Help you figure it out/have figured it out in the months since you posted, and come back here to share your wisdom/brave stories with the rest of us.
Good luck!
