Oh no, not Titanic :S

I've spoken - at most - eleven words with my mother over the past few days. She just randomly storms into my room screaming at me for leaving my plate on the table. I tell her to stop screaming at me and that I forgot and I'd do it in a second but no, she just has to get her point across that she is in fact "not" screaming at me. This carried on for a few minutes and at the end of it she'd thrown various possessions of mine (including my speakers) at my wall. And to top that off, she's watching Titanic now - this can't be good.

Today, my friend and I participated in some research thing for the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER). I was - of course - half and hour late, waking up only when my friend called me (which was at the time we were supposed to begin). Against all odds, I managed to get out the door within ten minutes. However, the stupid tram decided to be late, delaying (and increasing) my impending embarrassment. Luckily, being as cool as I am, I caught up to where my friend and we were able to finish at the same time. In return, we were presented with a $30 JB Hi-Fi gift voucher each. I was *this* close to buying a new printer/SYG album + ipod screen cover/Bang Gang 12s compilation but decided to do some more research first.

Anywhoo.

Brooke and I are supposed to have this magical day tomorrow where we rise (like a loaf of Bread [poorly executed/placed pun intended]) super early and head to the bakery to grab us some steaming hot bread. The thing is, now that I've only got a few hours before I have to wake up, this whole plan is starting to lose its appeal.

But wait! There's more!

We also have plans to cook a feast fit for kings. What we're cooking - we have no idea, but, rest assured whatever we end up making will be insanely delightful.


Back when we had colossal ideas for Band-Aid, my friend suggested we ask Trial Kennedy to play for us since most of the band's members are really good friends with his sister. Of course, that never happened and Band-Aid began to deflate. But, at the end of it all, I'd discovered one more band that I'll probably love for a while before not listening to them for a while until I stumble across them again and listen to them for a few weeks at which point I'll decide I'm bored of them because I've heard them to much and so on..
Trial Kennedy - Sonic Affair

While trying to convert some girl to the wonderful world of good music, I was told that one of the reasons she listens to that crap (sorry but it is) is because she can sing it (I presume she means that they're often female) - this got me thinking. I used to be really into bands with female vocalists and so I decided to go digging through some memories only to find a bit more than I intended. As a result, I ended up sleeping a bit later than intended and Brooke was forced to wait a bit as I struggled to ready myself in the morning.

Here's a list of bands with female vocalists that will rock your socks off.

Make hay while the fucking sun shines

Hey guys.
Guess who it is. Yepyep, it's me; with some exciting piece of news!
The breakfast table is always trying to makes the bacon nice and crispy, the pancakes melt in your mouth and have enough boxes of Fruit Loops to feed a small Ethiopian village. So, I am very happy to annouce that I will now be covering the screamo/metalcore/hardcore/anything that makes you want to break shit.
AAND.
I will be posting more often!

Ever been so tired that your disposition has been skewed, mashed, abused and placed in the oven at 180º for 45 minutes? The result is a burnt, ugly piece of unremarkable bitterness. I've noticed I complain about lack of sleep to everyone lately. I think I should consider actually hitting the bed a little bit earlier...
Kay, I'm done.

Now, time to start my magical vocation of delivering the goods to you scarce (yet utterly wonderful) customers of The Breakfast Table.
Let's start with some metalcore/trancecore band called Asking Alexandria.
AA use sharp and heavy electric beats, brutal metal guitar riffs and an occasional pint of post-hardcore sounding melodies.
Not to mention, screams that makes you want to get up and mosh.
Asking Alexandria - A Candlelit Dinner With Inamorta
I'd post more music, however, considering my rant I just had, it's 3:17am at I have a 8:00am start.
So,
Time for Bread to go get toasted. Ha ha. I thought that was amusing...
Bread xoxox

OH YEAH, would you guys do me a massive favour and comment on this thread; requesting a new font color? I'm sick of this one. MUCH LOVE!

We Share Conversations On How We're All Just Floating Through Space And Nothing Matters

Six months ago, I had my whole life planned out. It involved me doing all matter of amazing things and going to all sorts of cool places. But now that I think about it, there's one thing that I forgot to cater into my plan. The plan of my planned significant other.

Despite how much I complain about people, close and intimate human contact is something that I simply cant live without. I've always imagined myself with someone special by my side at every point in my life - that's just who I am. However, this magnificent person could not possibly be without her own dreams. Is it possible that we could both chase our own vivid and specific visions while still remaining no further than an arm's length away? Hmm, this keeps me up at night..


In other news, a friend of my mom's (kind of) is over and I'm hiding in my room pretending I'm unaware of her presence. She's hardcore Buddhist and is terrified of my music and dress sense (which is strange because I believe I'm quite conservative...) so I'm absolutely blaring The Red Shore. Oh, how I enjoy the little things in life.

Some people might think I'm overreacting a little but imo I'm not. This lady fits the children's definition of a witch. She's a firm believer in the supernatural, has lots of strange chemicals and herbs in little vial things and casts hexes on people (Namely me. For example, once, I was wearing a black shirt when she came over - she told me wearing dark clothing would give me cancer. And just then she said my face would be swarmed with pimples if I dont tie my hair up [in the centre of my head]. And she's being serious too!)


While Brooke was "encouraging" me to post, PlayRadioPlay! (now known as Analogue Rebellion) found their way onto my iTunes and took over, giving me inspiration for this post. Everything I've said is in there. Eat. Devour. (excrete.)
PlayRadioPlay! - Madi Don't Leave


I'm going to cover this song for Brooke's birthday, changing the lyrics to give it a more birthdayish feel.
Brighten and The Maine - Merry Christmas Baby

No, I'm Australian. I just like the American spelling.
