If you knew me well enough, you’d probably be able to guess my mood, based entirely upon what music I’m listening to. Yesterday, for example, I was listening to a lot of Coldplay. Today, I’m feeling very Nine Inch Nails-ish. 

Back when I still had a car, if I had a bad day at work, or got into a fight with the bf, I would screech off in my Civic, chain smoking through the sunroof, blasting NiN’s With Teeth as loud as my stereo could go. I drove up and down Portage Ave until I felt better, or until I finished the album (whichever happened first). 

Nowadays, my transportation options are more limited, but my god does a little loud music go a long way.
