I'm gonna start a business where writers let me read their work and I give them a title and a summary that doesn't suck. For an extra $3.25 USD I'll give them one of those little blurbs for the advertisement page/back cover.

Also available for bands, crafters, artists, and anyone who wants a cool new name or nickname. I will name you and your stuff.

There is no absolute. There is no definite.

Anyone who says that their way/preference/etc is the only way is lying to you.

Everything is subjective.

Write what you enjoy. Draw/paint/photograph what moves you. Play the music you like.

Art is entirely based on tastes. Not everyone has to like the same things.

And for the love of everything, do not tell others what they can or cannot make, write, draw, etc.

Do you know, that if your neurodivergent enough, you can play Minecraft, play Animal Crossing, and eat chicken tenders all at the same time?

Honestly the best summary of Sleep Token I've seen so far:

Songs that have been stuck in my head today (it is 10:30 am):

Billie Jean by Michael Jackson but just the chorus

POD's Youth of the Nation where they're repeating "we are we are the youth of the nation"

Taylor Swift's "You Belong With Me"

Banana Phone mashed up with the Mah Na Mah Na Muppets song*

Take Me Home Tonight by Eddie Money**

I think I'm losing my mind. I've had insomnia for the past week and I think I've had about 14 hours of sleep in 5 days.

*Surprisingly less annoying than you would think

**Definitely the best song on the list

Steve is rifling through Eddie's collection of magazines, while he's waiting on Eddie and Wayne to get done fixing the dryer(Wayne's fixing, Eddie's getting in the way it sounds like), when he realizes how insane the assortment is; Heavy Metal, Car and Driver, Rolling Stone, National Geographic, OMNI, MAD, even a copy of Good Housekeeping. It's all so Eddie though, to have so many varying interests. He's a little jealous, if he's being honest with himself.

"You have a lot of stuff," he comments when Eddie comes back, closing the copy of Rolling Stone.

"Oh, yeah, sorry, let me just..." He starts kicking a pile of clothes under the bed.

Steve huffs a laugh. "No, I meant you have a lot of interests." He waves the magazine. "Hobbies and stuff."

Eddie nods, continues to shove piles of stuff under the bed anyway. "I guess, yeah. I tend to jump from thing to thing though. Last night it was painting miniatures, tonight it could be writing a song. I don't really get a say in which one. Oh, nice, I've been looking for this," he says, holding up a random T-shirt.

He watches Eddie get distracted by the new discovery and leave the rest of the pile where it's at, smiling to himself as Eddie goes on a tangent about merch vendors at concerts being the real enemy of the people.

"How do you know what you like?" Steve inadvertently blurts out during a gap in Eddie's tale.

He turns toward Steve. "What do you mean?"

What does he mean? "I guess... It's just, I like cars and sports and girls. That's, like, kind of it. And since I started being friends with Henderson and Robin and you I've figured out that's, like, the most basic shit a guy could be into. Level One Dude Interests. So, I guess I just want to know how you find other things? And how will I know if I'm interested?"

"Hmm." He frowns softly. "I've never had to think about it before. I kinda just...fall into things. I like it or I don't."

"Okay, but what's it feel like?"

Eddie puts the shirt down, forgotten again in a moment, and sits. "What does it feel like when you think about cars and sports and girls?"

Steve really thinks about it. Nothing is as consuming as when he was younger, but he does remember a vague sense of excitement, a feeling of connection with the people he surrounded himself with, who shared his interests. But he hasn't felt that in a while. Maybe he wasn't as into those things as he thought, was only into the connection.

"You're having very deep thoughts over there," Eddie points out with a grin.

"Shut up." He grins back. "I think maybe I don't actually know what it feels like to like something because I like it, not just because everyone else likes it. You know what I mean?"

"Well, yes but no." He waves both hands to indicate his person and also the chaos of the room around them.

"See? This is why I'm asking you. If anyone can help me figure out what I like it's you."

Eddie slaps both hands together and rubs. "A project! Excellent idea!"

Wasn't his idea but sure.

"First we have to get you exposure to new things. Movies, TV, music, culture. Then we'll rate how you feel about each demographic. Your music taste is already improving so that's good. Movies, I'm thinking 12 Angry Men to start. Food? Authentic Mexican. We're gonna get you excited about shit!" He seems excited enough for the both of them, which is great. "Excitement is key! You want enthusiasm, yearning even. Your interests should consume your every waking thought. When I'm consuming a new hobby, I'm focused like a shark, I'm obsessed. I go to bed thinking about it and wake up thinking about it. Excited to get back to whatever it is. I wanna talk about it, share it with other people. Complete and total immersion. You wanna marry that interest. You know what I mean?"

Steve blinks at him, stunned into silence. Eddie's just described how Steve feels about him...

Oh.

Oh.

Please give this band a listen, they're amazing. The lead singer, Joshua Roberts, has such an amazing voice. I cannot recommend this band enough, they're all fantastic musicians.

I recommend all their music, but especially their newest album Vamp and the songs Misfits, Worship, and Antidote.

He's very pretty but this looks like the pictures they take when you read 100 books in elementary school. I hope he got a free pizza for reading all those books lol.
