Random Thoughts...Thom Yorke...Mainstream???

Anyone who knows me is aware that I have been a devout Radiohead fan since I began listening to them in the 10th grade. Recently, many Radiohead fans have become livid over Thom Yorke's "Hearing Damage," which appears in New Moon. If I were still the same person I was in high school, I would share these fans' angry sentiments. In fact, I would have refused to ever read the Twilight series because of its' popularity. I remember reading an article in college in which Thom Yorke ranted about how much he hated "Creep," which was by far the song that made his band famous. He has always hated mainstream music and has evidently chosen to stay underground with his strange, depressing lyrics (which I love by the way). However, somewhere along the way I grew up and pulled the stick from my rear end and apparently Thom Yorke has done the same...

Sisters

Madison is completely enamored with her little sister. Every morning she goes in and says, "Good Morning" to which Caroline responds with a huge smile. It absolutely melts my heart. I truly hope that they remain close throughout their lives.

Nicknames...

So my mother has always had very unique and interesting nicknames for us. For example, I have been called "hamberhawkins," "strawberris curls," "lizard," and of course my most well known nickname, "riggs." My brother was given names such as "koopa - remember Mario," "brandoggy," and "spud." Now she has nicknamed Caroline "Mohawkins," which at the moment suits her perfectly as you will soon see.




I, of course, have begun doing the same thing. Madison's current nicknames include "Maddie Weebers," "Toodles," "Boo Boo," and "Madellini." I have called Spencer some derivative of his middle name, Don, since we started dating. It was "Donahue" for quite some time...then morphed into things like "Sha Don Don" and "Donald." I know... I am quite strange. Our dog Brandi has also donned many a nickname. When we first got her I decided her middle name would be Lou (Brandi Lou). Through the years I have called her things like "Louhannesburg" and "Louis." Haha...
