my name is Cassandra and i do too much research.
this song was on a lot of mixes i made in 8th/9th grade. especially in the context of this video, that explains a lot.

the line between “trolling” and “sincere” in the songmeanings.net comments for “all the small things” is often hard to call

…it seems to me that the most a poetry reading can be is the imparting of a kind of inner richness. I think the worst, the least it can be, and I hate it when it becomes that, is when—I guess this is what I feel—if I do a reading and the audience feels, boy, he’s really smart, or he’s really deep, or he’s really interesting, I feel like I’ve failed. But if I do a reading and the audience goes home and thinks, wow, human inner life is really rich, my inner solitude is really spacious, and maybe a second or even a third or fourth thought, they think, hey, he’s pretty good, then I succeeded.

pro: i do, technically, have a job now
con: $12 + $6.50 shipping is an awful lot to pay for something i’ll just make into a giant erasure poem, which is apparently what i do with all the media i consumed as a youth
