dress your wounds, test your strength, face the night

If I were still in academia and writing papers, I think I'd like to write a paper about the similar feelings evoked by "The Shade of Poison Trees" by Dashboard Confessional and the episode "Once More, With Feeling" from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

I think that would be a fantastic paper. Maybe I can go back in time and use it for the one paper I never wrote in college.....sorry, Dr. Schmoll. Thanks for the B+ in the class anyways. :)
