RULES: Write a statement intended for 14 different people. NEVER TELL which one is for who.
1. you make me smile.
2. i think we're progressing as friends, and i like it. you're a very awesome person.
3. you're my best friend. i 3< you.
4. i feel worse for you.
5. i should talk to you more.
6. you're very nice. i feel comfortable around you.
7. you intimidate me.
8. i've been really pissed at you lately. you probably have no clue.
9. i don't appreciate you as much as i should.
10. i hate that you made me feel like i was only your friend when it was convenient for you.
11. i miss how things were. your friendship means more to me than you know.
12. i never liked you.
13. we used to be friends, a lot time ago, but i haven't talked to you lately at all. [wheee "we used to be friends" - the dandy warhols. fitting for a lot of people, but... well, this is super fitting for someone in particular. ah now i'm wishing i'd done this in all song lyrics. how cool would that have been?]
14. you amuse me. i like being around you.

guess if you'd like, but i probably won't tell. except some [#3, much?] are pretty obvious. i think there are a few people will think are them or a certain person [like #11], but aren't. that's ok, though. they'll never know the truth :)

ha. i never started my french homework or my science homework. i'm so screwed. that's all right, though, because i never intended to do the science hw [not due till tuesday in the homework packet, anyways], and i can do some/all of the french hw before school tomorrow. still. kind of an idiot, considering it's not as if i was doing anything more important.

uh. Academy Awards. Disappointing, but at the same time, I wonder what would have satisfied me, considering the only movie I saw was Finding Neverland, which, while a wonderful movie, I didn't exactly expect it to win. Though I would like Johnny Depp to get an Oscar for something one of these days, because he is a truly phenomenal actor. Still, even if I didn't see like... anything, it was boring. I wanted it to at least entertain me. Blah. It failed. And wtf, Beyonce?! who's brilliant idea was it for her to sing three fucking songs, when she wasn't affiliated with any of the movies?! Singing a French song with a French boys choir? what the HELL?! my GOD.

uh. I need to see Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. ...and so I broke down and downloaded Ares and then downloaded the movie. It only took a little over an hour! back two years ago when i downloaded movies often, it'd take entire weekends and weeks to download them! craaaaazy.

[squees] accepted! ahhhh this made my week.

uh after squeeing for about 15 minutes, went over to Emma's to work on English project with her and Richard. we got... uh. some work done? the poem we wrote is awesome :) and then after working, we took a break that ended up lasting the rest of the afternoon, in which we had a paper airplane war and went online for a long time. oh, and emma ordered a book for richard about how to be a man. heh. it was an amusing day.

uh. oscars today. watching it, i guess. don't care too much, but i like to know. depends if i ever finish my homework or not. sigh. i miss three-day weekends x____x

hee. i found The Stinky Cheese Man, and Other Fairly Stupid Tales, which was one of my favorite books when I was like 6, and started reading it, and it is just so awesome. it makes me giggle a lot. my favorite story is totally this:

The Really Ugly Duckling
Once upon a time there was a mother duck and a father duck who had seven baby ducklings. Six of them were regular-looking ducklings. The seventh was a really ugly duckling.

Everyone used to say, "What a nice-looking bunch of ducklings--all except that one. Boy, he's really ugly."

The really ugly duckling heard all these people, but he didn't care. He knew that one day he would probably grow up to be a swan and be bigger and look better than anything in the pond.

Well, as it turned out, he was just a really ugly duckling. And he grew up to be just a really ugly duck.

The End.


come on, tell me that's not the most awesome fairy tale ever.

it's put together so well, too, because the first page ends with "He knew that one day he would probably grow up to be a swan and be bigger and looking better yadda yadda" and on the right is a picture of him ugly with all the ducklings around him. Then the next page, the text is super huge, and it's all "Well, as it turned out, he was just a really ugly duckling." and the picture to the right of him all grown up and ugly with the ducklings. hee. it rocks. the huge text on the next page works so well. this entry totally does not do justice to this book. it's like, fairy tales for children who were cynical and sarcastic. like me! yay. :D

uh. i'm getting far too attached to veronica mars. if it's cancelled in march/april/whatever, i'm totally going to cry. seriously. this is my favorite show ever. it's replaced buffy, and everything else on these days that i used to absolutely love has had a really crappy season either last year, this year, or for the past 4 years [i'm looking at you, Charmed]. sigh.

gah! i still use totally too much. must. resist.

Vote in this poll for Veronica Mars if you love me. Or if you hate me. Or if you're completely indifferent to me. Pretty please?

Uh. Want to make icons. Blah. Maybe later tonight. Sigh. I hate that all the icon challenges have voting from like Friday the second I get home from school to Monday morning. It's like... yes. Please have the challenges closed at the only moments that I can actually make icons. [...even though I did make icons Thursday afternoon. Shut up.] gah.

I keep thinking the phrase "[dies just a little]" in terms of various stuff, and then I get "Here With Me" stuck in my head, which is odd, considering I haven't listened to that song in years. Then again, it was my favorite song when I was 12. So, yeah, maybe not totally unlikely. After all, I can still sing all the lyrics to The Anthem without a second's hesitation. So. Maybe not all too odd.

...omg my capitals came back!!1!1!!! mm watch them go away again :)

oh my god, i think i'm actually going to finally apply to chosen_icons. excuse me while i die.

guh. [spazzes]



of course, this is nothing compared to how i'll act if actually accepted. :)

she's all alone again,
wiping the tears from her eyes.
somedays she feels like dying.
she gets so sick of crying.


...that makes me sound depressed, but i just really like the lyrics, and the music of that part. it's nice :)

uh. yes. i still want to see Fight Club. and i want to see That Thing You Do again. I saw that movie when I was 7, when it first came out, and I remember it was like my favorite movie ever. Except now I can't really remember too much about it since... I was like, 7. But I remember it being good, and I remember bits and pieces of it, and I want to see it again >:O rar.

sims 2 has been sucking me in again. wheeeeee. :)

"I'm not a very good novelist. But it'd make a pretty interesting novel." - Austin, Texas; December 5, 2000.

French: er. not much. oh, we got our tests from like a week ago back. I got a 59/61. that's like a 97. awesome. see, when i actually study, i can do well! ...i think i studied for this test. maybe. hm.

Science: uh. boring stuff! woosh! unit text Tuesday. my goal is an 85+. I figure if I get solid B's this semester on tests and A's on labs and homework and crap and do the extra credit and get a semi-highish grade on the stupid project thing, i can manage an A. probably.

English: uh. whiteboards and going over homework thing we did.

AP US: notes.

Algebra 2: homework and tests back. I got a 91. nice. especially since i had been planning on studying like whoa the night before but then ended up not even looking at my notes at all, pretty much, and mostly just studied during office hours. and i got all but 1 of the questions i found the hardest correct. everything else was just stupid mistakes. so i am satisfied. maybe next time i'll actually study the night before -____-

Lunch: uh at snack Bentley had a sign on the door that said something like "I have an announcement to make, I'll make it at 1:15 [during lunch] if you're interested" or something like that, and the second anyone saw it, they were all "she's so pregnant." I mean, people have been saying she's pregnant since January, and she definitely has a baby-bulge. And plus, someone asked her what it was about and she was all "I'm not saying exactly what, but it's about me and it affects you guys" and so it was like... duh. so. yeah. at lunch she announced she was 12 weeks pregnant, which... obviously wasn't very surprising. but it's awesome, because it means she'll miss all of marching season! wheeeee.

Wind Ensemble: music. rar.

...for some reason my nose gets stuffed up when i'm sitting down, but i can semi-breathe through it [as much as i ever can] when i'm standing up. i find that very odd.

yay for weekendness :)

1. seth green!!1!! love. and he's on loveline! hee. how fitting.

2. that song is so much better in the commericals.

3. gah. the o.c. is being written for tweens, now. i miss my show. despite the awesomeness of sethummer being back. besides, it was ruined by the horrible fromage-iness of the spiderman kiss. at first when seth was all "i'll fix the satellite dish myself!" i was all "noooo!1!! summer will come back and be all in love with you but you will have FALLEN OFF THE ROOF because it is RAINING and you are an IDIOT!!" and i thought it would end with seth falling off the roof and it looking like he was dead OMG NOOOOOO!!!! but in the next episode it would, of course, turn out that he had a coma but summer would kiss him and it would bring him out of his coma and such, which is, of course, cheesy enough in its own right. but then they went back to seth, and there was no "DANGER IS COMING!!!!!!!" music, not even something that would make me think that there was any chance any harm would come to seth, and then he had the rope, and then it was all "...oooooh. ...wait. no. they wouldn't do that, would they? no, there's no chance they'd have seth slip off the roof with his spidey mask and fall upside down and summer rush in and pull it down and kiss him, right? RIGHT?! my show would not sink to that level, right?!" ...and then it happened exactly as i realized. le sigh. it would've been so much better if the rope had broken while they were kissing or something, or even if he had made a snarky comment, or if she had taken the entire mask off, but noooo. gah. and now that feb. sweeps are over, they're totally killing marissa/alex and bringing out marissa/ryan again. i'm going to die. -____- dude, this plotline with marissa is the only time i've ever found marissa interesting. don't ruin it! >:O i'd say also i don't want them to bring down ryan, but then i realized i haven't enjoyed ryan's character since last season, when he was still being angsty and all outsider-y [...minus the Oliver storyline. i just pretend that never happened]. and had shorter hair.

4. 4 weeks, 4 days, 22 hours, and 48 minutes. [dies] i'm so hopeless.

5. i have the urge to make a veronica mars layout. this is inconvenient, seeing as i just made a layout last weekend, and i'm perfectly satisfied with it. blah. maybe for my LJ.

rar.

woosh. time for [hopefully] prettiness:




yes, this is what i've been doing all afternoon [except for the Buffy one. i made that one the like... thursday or friday before valentine's day for a v-day set of my favorite couples from tv shows set i was going to make that i ended up not because i only got as far as angel and buffy (...i was going in alphabetical order) and then i got charmed season 1 on dvd and watched that the rest of the weekend instead of making icons]. yes, i should be doing my homework. yes, my homework would've been manageable [managable? you know, i used to know how to spell. this died recently, for no apparent reason. except for the fact that i finally learned how to spell apparently. actually, that was more a few months ago. but really, read old blog entries of mine. i spelled it apparantely, and it is apparently. now i just need to remember how to spell every other word in the english language] if i'd started it after i made the post about my day. yes, i am, in fact, an idiot.

sigh. but but... pretty? :)

"I talked about making the death tax permanent so that Rolf can pass his assets from--to a family member if he so chooses." - after meeting with small-business owners; O'Fallon, Missouri; March 18, 2002.

Science: uh. stupid lab. blah.

Office Hours: sat around outside with people and did French homework.

AP US: gah. i got freaked out, because he was handing out DBQ packets and... I didn't want to write a DBQ, but all we did was analyze each document and so how we'd use it and then write a thesis statement for the prompt and go over it. only took about an hour, so for the remaining half hour, i worked on my math homework. gah even though i did a bunch of hw during school today, i realized i still have a lot to do tonight -_______-

Wind Ensemble: music-playingness. woosh.

gah. my cold keeps making my eyes water which is really annoying. x____X my head feels all tight. gah. [hits it] yes. that ought to help. sigh.

five weeks?! [dies]

French: presented our stuff. i failed at presenting, 'cause my throat is still gack, so i couldn't speak very loud and my voice was all scratchy. blah.

Office Hours: attempted to study for the math test.

English: uh. Great Gatsby and F. Scott Fitzgerald stuff. english is always very amusing :) woosh.

Algebra 2: test. not too bad, actually. at first i was panicking, because there were a bunch of problems i forgot how to do, but the more i looked over them, the more i started to remember or understand how to do it. i probably still missed some and made stupid mistakes and such, but not as bad as i thought i would do.

gah. i'm tired. uhhh my mom's taking me to a college counselor today. blah. i'd rather stay home and take a nap.

woosh. took a nap for about an hour. good for my tiredness, but for some reason whenever i take a nap, i wake up with a funny/gross taste in my mouth. it's weird. blah. i want to sleep more, but i need to study for my math test tomorrow -___-

uh. new Veronica Mars. people who watched Buffy [coughLULUinparticularcough] should watch tonight's episode, since Alyson Hannigan is guest starring :) i think this is the last new episode until like... I dunno. awhile. not till late March/early April. x___x blah.

gah. why's it so fucking cold in my room? either it's obscenely cold in this house, or i have a fever, and i don't think i have a fever. blahhhh. i think my parents forget we have a heater [or during summer, that we have an air conditioner, since they never use either of them].

blah. i have like a week's worth of bushisms, so... i'll just do a few of them today and a few tomorrow. ...not that anyone probably cares. but i like doing it. so. yes.

French: er. worked on the presentation we have tomorrow. rar.

Science: took notes and such. watched a bit of a video. blah.

English: er Great Gatsby and notes on F. Scott Fitzgerald.

AP US: notes.

Algebra 2: review, new lesson.

Wind Ensemble: music. from the side view of her today, it really looks like Mrs. Bentley is pregnant. either that, or gained like 50 pounds. i think whoever it was like a month or so ago saying that she's pregnant is right. that... or she's always had a sort of bulge at her stomach and i've just never noticed it before, or... her clothes were really unflattering today, or something.

yeah. really blah day.

uhhh i feel better, which is good, and i convinced my mom to let me miss my lesson so i could do my homework quickly and then take a nap for a few hours. wheeeee. i drank a bunch of water today, which seemed to help. i can speak more often than not, which is good [although i can't speak very loudly, so people have to ask me to repeat whatever i said a lot -___-]. felt really crappy this morning [before school, french, and science mostly[ and felt like i had the chills [which would be bad, because chills=fever, and i so cannot miss school] but... better now. reeeally tired, but hopefully the nap i'm going to take will help that. luckily, i really don't have much homework. read gatsby chapter 2, do review math homework, study for math test. then sleeeeeep. then waking up and new Gilmore Girls, Veronica Mars, and House. awesome.

and wheeee, new AP! awesome. :DDD

gahhhh. my throat keeps getting all gecky so i can't talk and all, and i try to clear it, but then that just makes it hurt majorly, and it's all just very blech. and, also, i accidentally slammed my pinky in my desk draw like 2 hours ago, and it still hurts like a bitch. gack. [dies]

luckily, little homework tonight. or none, really, since the math hw is just review for the test wednesday [i freaked out for like a minute because i thought it was tomorrow, since originally it was supposed to be tomorrow, but then remember she moved it to wednsday] and she won't collect it, and i prefer doing review the night before the test rather than two nights before. need to remember to ask my mom to order that science book online tonight, but otherwise, i have nothing to do. ...except practice for my tenor lesson, but i doubt i'll end up doing that, and i'll probably regret it tomorrow when he asks whether i've practiced or not. it'd be fine if he just wouldn't ask, since he can't tell the difference anyways, but whatever.

gah. [kills throat] and why is it that the nights i could do with sleep the most, i can't get to sleep? last night i was tossing and turning until about 3 AM [and i got into bed at 11 pm, so it's not as if i waited till like 2 to go to sleep] and finally got to sleep then, but it was on and off until 8, when my mom woke me. at least i'm feeling better-ish. i mean, my throat is still as horrible as it was yesterday, but my headache's gone, and my face isn't as warm, and last night i was all disoriented and if i tried to concentrate on anything for too long, i'd like... lose focus on whatever i was looking at and it was all just blech. so. yes. hopefully i'll be even better tomorrow. hopefully i'll be able to talk tomorrow. sigh.

gahhh. i feel like crap [...er, physically. not emotionally]. -_____- my sore throat still exists and whenever i try to talk i... can't, because of my throat, so then i have to cough a bunch to clear it, but that hurts my throat because it's all sore and i keep sneezing and that hurts my throat too and it's all blah x____x plus, i've had a headache for a few hours and my head feels kind of warm. blah. and i can't even sleep in past like 8 tomorrow, because the cleaning people are coming, even though on holidays they don't come till like 11 and they don't even do my room first anyways, so i could totally just sleep in till 11 and then clean my room [before the cleaning people clean it. yes. my mom makes sense.] and get in a few extra hours to sleep and not feel like crap tomorrow. -___- but then, if i tell her i want to sleep in because i'm all sick and blech, she'll get mad at me, since being sick would be too inconvenient. sigh. she's not very sympathetic when i'm not feeling well. x_______x

gahhhh. i need water.

yeah. so. guess i lied. ...well, i said there was a 95% chance i wouldn't use it. and... this is in the 5% part where i actually am using it >:O

mmkay. uh, this is Jaye and Eric [<333] from Wonderfalls in episode Lovesick Ass [I love how I always go on about this episode, when it's not even my favorite episode; there are at least 2 or 3 I like more than it, in all. but but, first kiss! wheee!]. it looked a lot crappier before i had a breakthrough and made like two new layers that made it look cooler and the poorness of the image quality less noticeable [...except I can still notice it, because I'm an anal freak]. the Veronica Mars layout will probably hop on over to my icon LJ, but I'm too worn out from this layout to configure another right now. one of the layouts that's taken me the longest to make. uhhh like... from 10:30ish to now [3:30ish] and also last night from like 11:15-1:00. so. yes. blah.

uh text in the righthand corner is from "Aside" by the Weakerthans, and has lyrics that don't quite fit the image, but I love them anyways, and no one can read them really, so I don't care :) I was also going to put in this really sweet/cute/awesome quote between Jaye and Eric, but I couldn't get it to work [I spent like over half an hour trying to get that quote to fit in right, but failed -___-] so. yes. the layout-y part of it [meaning... the text boxes and not the grahpic itself and such] is incredibly simple, but I tried some more... fancy-looking stuff on it and it looked like crap, so I was just all "screw it. i like it simple like this >:O" even though most of my layouts look like that. someday i'll be more creative in that area, but by the time i get through the graphic to that part, i don't have the energy to figure out how to make it look cooler.

anyways. pretty pleased with this layout, but... orange is kind of my very least favorite color, so I don't know how long it'll last. blah. we shall see.

uhhh i was totally planning on watching all episodes of wonderfalls again today and ones that have commentary with it, but... i kind of failed at that. i think i'm going to go through them all except skip the ones that don't have as much of an affect on the rest of the series. and episodes 2, 3, and 4, since those were three of the four aired ones, some of the worst of the season [though i still love them], have no commentary, and ...yes.

woosh!

i like how I stayed up until past 1 AM last night working on a header for a new layout and eventually just gave up trying to make it work before I had even finished it. and then proceeded to spend 2 hours this morning working on it more and trying to improve it, even though I know there's a 95% chance I won't use it, and even if I do use it, it'll be at like... my fic icon journal where no one will see it anyways, including me [except for like once or twice a month]. sigh. if only the image quality of the images i wanted to use was better x____x blah. then i'd totally use it [...probably]. oh well.

uh. i have a pretty horrible sore throat right now -_______- gah.

oh my GOD. finished Wonderfalls DVDs. geeeeeez that was an amazing show! three out of the four episodes they actually aired were like the worst episodes in the entire series [and I still absolutely loved them, so that tells you how amazing the rest of the series was]. i was so worried about the end of the finale, that Jaye and Eric wouldn't be together, and then even as I was watching it, it looked like they were leaving their relationship on a cliffhanger, that could be resolved in a second season, except there isn't going to be a second season, and i was getting all freaked out but then he grabbed her and kissed her and it was all ok again :) but BLAH more pissed off than ever that FOX cancelled this awesome show. sigh.

I'd blather on more, but nobody cares, and also, the three remaining episodes of Numb3rs finished downloading, so I need to watch them now, or I'll end up running out of time to see them tonight.

...tomorrow I was going to watch the episodes that have commentary on them [there are like 5 or 6, I think] on the Wonderfalls DVD set, but now I think I'm just going to watch all the episodes straight through again, and watch the ones that have commentary available with the commentary. man I wish this show would've gotten another season x___x or, at the very least, a full season. sigh.

mmkay. off to watch more TV. TV is such yay for me :)

oooh. Numb3rs is intriguing. I don't usually go for crime-type shows [CSI and all its offspring, and such], not because... I don't enjoy the genre, because I really do like all that mystery crap [one of the reasons I like House and Veronica Mars], but... I need more character development. ...now, I've never seen CSI, but it seems to be lacking like... character development, and such. i mean, i could be totally wrong [probably am], since... never seen it, but... I don't know. I like that there's good character-crap, and there's also such a twist to the normal crime-scene drama stuff. i dunno how to explain myself. I enjoy it, though. 92% for the second episode, but I've been downloading it since like, 6, and it says 32 min left, which sucks, because that means it's too late for me to watch. well, we'll see. maybe i could manage it =/

wheeeee. this day got infinitely better as soon as I got home.

wheeeee. I heart Wonderfalls so fucking much :DDD I was going to wait until tomorrow to start watching the DVDs, but then I figured how long it'd take me to watch them, and I realized there was a good chance I wouldn't get through them all tomorrow anyways, so I decided to watch the first 4 [the only 4 televised before FOX fucking cancelled it--still totally not bitter, btw :)] and then stop, which is what I did. but omgomg in the second episode, they play The Dandy Warhols "We Used to be Friends" like... a lot. I find that so awesome now, but I never noticed it then because, duh, hadn't heard the song until Veronica Mars. ...well, I clearly had heard it, if it was in that episode, but it was all background-ish, so I never was all like "dude, this song is cool!", while with Veronica Mars, it's the theme song, so... obviously I'm going to hear it. So yeah, found that really awesome, and totally didn't notice it first time around. Also, even more awesome, is that this guest star in the third episode is Sarah Drew, who plays Hannah on Everwood, whom I've absolutely fallen in love with because she's soooo sweet and such an amazing actress and so endearing and ahhhh awesome [I fear she's going to be gone after this season, though, which would suck serious ass] and the second she was on screen, I was all "OMG! HANNAH!!1!!!" and blah totally didn't notice last time because... it was pre-Everwood Season 3, and she doesn't even really look like herself in that episode, except for the first 15 min [then she straightens her hair and develops a totally different personality]. I thought she looked familiar when introduced on Everwood >:O

Ahhh. I'm so loving this show. I'm so fucking glad they put it on DVD. I'm just sorry I downloaded Lovesick Ass and Muffin Buffalo [...well... I would've died if I hadn't downloaded Lovesick Ass, but still] and read the shooting scripts for all the episodes except one random one in the middle and the very last one. I wish it'd be more of a surprise what's going to happen =/ Well, I still don't know the absolute ending, and I did only read those shooting scripts once, so it's not as if it's like... boring because I have all the words memorized. Besides, I don't know how it ends yet.

...I've noticed that I've been using totally when I've been writing way too much. I need to fix that.

;alkjfd man I forgot how much I loved this show. sigh. Jaye/Eric=<3333. A couple that you totally know is going to become a couple by 15 min into the first episode who actually has chemistry and is enjoyable to watch. How novel. [hee. for some reason that reminds me of when Green Day was being introduced at the Grammy's with something like "A rock band that put out a concept album, with the crazy concept of all the songs being good."] ahh I can't wait to see the next 9 episodes :DDD and then watch however many with commentary on. wheeeeee.

I'm downloading Numb3rs, 'cause I heard it's good, and it's on like... Friday's? I believe? which... obviously no TV shows conflicting with it. so. yes.

Apparently my data suggests a moderate automatic preference for gay people relative to straight people, according to this website. I find that awesome. I also have a slight preference for young people versus old people, males in relation to science versus females [...that test was a little weird], a slight preference for white people, and a moderate preference for Kerry versus Bush [...moderate? MODERATE?! this test is a failure >:O]. and I'm off to make more. and possibly some Green Day "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" icons [prettttyyyy screencaps! ...i should probably watch the video at some point.], or even some Wonderfalls icons. and. uh. a Wonderfalls-focused layout should not be totally unexpected in the next few days. i still like the graphic for this one [...even though I can find like, a million faults in it], so if I do make a new layout this weekend, I'll probably just move this one to my LJ [...of course, tweaked slightly for LJness] and move my layout at my icon LJ to my fic LJ, since I've had that layout since like October [...though I check my friends page there once a week, at most, and don't even check more than a day's worth of posts, so it's not as if I'm getting sick of it].

uh. yes. my nose is cold. rar.

http://sites.gizoogle.com/?url=http://itallfeelsold.blogspot.com

hee! reading my concert post all translated is quite amusing. especially the part where Danny is translated to D-A-Double-Nizzy. and The Hizouse of Blues. and and Justin Pierre=Justin Pizzles! heeeeeeeeee.

bad day.

Wheeeeeeeeee. concert was awesome :DDD [...and I'm being smart, writing about it now, rather than sleeping and waiting till tomorrow :)]

uhhh got there at like... 3:20, but Tiffany accidentally left her ticket at home, so Danny waited in line while we went back to Tiffany's and then back to the House of Blues. Wasn't necessary for Danny to wait in line, though, 'cause... there was no line. We waited in an area we thought was line, but found at like 5:30 [half an hour after doors opened] that it was for like... people who had eaten at the restaurant earlier, or something. i dunno, i didn't get it then, either x___x oh oh and while we were waiting by the wrong area, there were people who came out of the building that I thought could be band members but didn't recognize, but then when seeing the bands I found that several of them were from From First to Last. so anyways, we went around the corner to the real line, which actually wasn't that bad. once the doors opened, it didn't take too long to get in. and they totally didn't care about being 16 or younger without a guardian, they just put pink wristbands on people who were under 21 and black wristbands on 21+ people. awesome. uhhh i had a plan to study in line for the AP US test tomorrow, but that completely failed. blah. i'll study before school tomorrow, i suppose x_______x ahhh failure at life. sigh.

anyways. we got in, looked at the merch briefly, and then waited in the pit area. it was so tiny! ...well, it is a club. it was awesome. :D definitely one of the better venues I've been to. uhhh before The Matches came on, people were pushing and stuff and Tiffany and I got pretty far up. We got next to these bitchy girls who were all "OMG STOP PUSHING. IT'S NOT LIKE IT'LL ACTUALLY GET YOU UP HERE!" and I was all "...actually, I did get up pretty far by doing that. =)" but I'm not sure if they heard me [...it wasn't really directed to me, either, just... the entire pit]. Then they got all stupid and tried to push back at us, but whenever people do that, it just makes it easier to get in front of them, which is what Tiffany did. they got all pissy and one of them freaking pushed Tiffany's head away with her hand. like... wtf?! you think THAT'S going to move her? my god. and I was all "...you guys are insane." and the girl that pushed her was all "OMG DID YOU JUST CALL ME A BITCH?!?!?!" and I was all "...er. no. I called you insane. o__O" [...though I was all "...but, now that you mention it..." in my head] and she was all "oh, that's ok, then." ...she was bitchy, though. and she left a freaking minute after she went all insane. geez.

Uhhh 30 minutes later [ish], The Matches came on. They were really good :) Made me want to listen to their CD [...I listened to it like twice last August, right after I got it, and it's still in my family room]. At some point we got into the second row, though I'm not sure if that was during The Matches or later. They performed really well. uh. the lead singer came down to the front area a lot, which was cool. at one point he came close enough for everyone to grab at, which was amusing, as always :) at the end of the set, he came down and passed out guitar picks. i held out my hand to get one but the time he got over to us, he shook my hand and was all "sorry, I ran out" but I didn't really care, and it was just nice of him to shake my hand and say sorry :)

After The Matches was From First to Last. They performed very well, too. blah all these bands are better live than on the CD >:O rar. uh. but yes. The lead singer, Sonny, amused me. So did the lead singer of The Matches. they were all crazy :)

uh. yes. I'd say song titles from The Matches and From First to Last, but I only know like 1 or 2 songs from each, so even if I looked at lyrics of their songs, I wouldn't remember which ones they performed. they both were very good live, though :)

After From First to Last came a longer wait, and then Motion City Soundtrack! wheeee! ahhhh Motion City Soundtrack = <3333333 soooooo fucking awesome. They played Cambridge, Shiver, The Future Freaks Me Out, Indoor Living, My Favorite Accident, Perfect Teeth, Boombox Generation, Don't Call it a Comeback [um. I think. x___x], Modern Chemistry, Capital H, Red Dress, and... er.. blah, I don't know. I think possibly Autographs and Apologies? I know they didn't play A-Ok, but... blah. They played most of them, and then they also played two off the new CD coming out June 7. wheeee. uhhhhh they were just fucking awesome. man are they great live. i reeeeally want to see them again. after the end of the set, the girl in front of me gave me a Motion City Soundtrack guitar pick that she had somehow gotten, since she was there for Matchbook Romance and.. she could kind of tell I liked MCS :) that was cool of her, especially since before then I had been thinking she was really bitchy, since she's one of those girls who get all pissed off when people in the pit don't stand absolutely still without touching one another. but she gave me a pick, so she can't be too bad :) um. but yes. MCS was fucking amazing and I want to see them again now. rar.

After MCS I was having difficulty breathing and stuff, so I got out of the pit, since I've already seen Matchbook Romance anyways, and I don't like them as much anymore, so I'd be satisfied just watching them from the side. When I was trying to get out, I stepped on these two girls' feet, and they were all "OMG EXCUSE ME!!!!1!!!" and I was all "...dude. it's not like I can exactly see where I'm stepping. I'm doing the best I can." and they were all "whatever." geez. lots of bitchy girls -_______- uh got water and then walked over to merch booths. to the left of all the merch booths were two of the members of From First to Last! wheee! I didn't have anything for them to sign, so I was going to have them sign my shoe, but then I saw someone else have their ticket signed, so I was all "OOOH I HAVE A TICKET I CAN GET SIGNED!" so I got them to sign that instead :) They were cool. Then I got a new Motion City Soundtrack t-shirt and sweatshirt. wheeee! I have MCS merch! [very pleased] As I was walking back over to the left, I ran into Tiffany, who left the pit like right after me. we went upstairs and then back downstairs, and as we were walking past where the guys from From First to Last were, we saw Justin-Pierre, the lead singer of Motion City Soundtrack! wheeee! Matchbook Romance had started by then, so it was loud and we couldn't really talk to him or anything, so I just had him sign my new MCS t-shirt. I said thanks, though, and then he like... nodded to me amusingly, kind of like how when I pass people at school and they say hi to me or wave and I nod to them [Galaxy would know what I'm talking about!]. Anyways, it was cool :) Then I watched Matchbook Romance a little and the guy who played the moog [that's what it's called, yes? kind of similar to a keyboard :) it's cool] walked by me and I said "Hi" to him :) uhhh also when I was watching Matchbook Romance, this merch booth guy threw some From First to Last stickers at this girl he knew, and I picked up two from the ground :) ...I'll totally ignore the fact they were giving them out for free, anyways :)

From what I heard, Matchbook Romance was good. I like them enough to like... listen to them and watch them perform, but I don't like them so much that I felt like I needed to be in the pit to see the performance. So it worked out well.

Concert ended at around 10:15, which is obscenely early, based on most concerts we go to. I think it might've been because like... originally Scatter the Ashes was also on the tour, but for some reason they didn't perform tonight [no clue why, I'll check it out tomorrow, if I remember], so I think that might be why it ended earlierish.

Tiffany and I waited to find Danny and then as we turned to leave, there was Justin-Pierre again! I didn't want to bug him to sign another thing of mine, and so we just kind of stood around him and then I was all "Hi, you guys are awesome!" or something similar like that, and he shook my hand and said thanks and stuff :D He was really cool, from what I could gather. Went outside, sat around for Danny's mom, and then left. oh as we were leaving the venue, this guy was handing out bags that had stickers from all the bands and some pins and a CD with some songs from bands that are on the Epitaph label and such, and it was really cool :D

yes. anyways. One of the better concerts I've been too. MCS was just absolutely fucking awesome.. wheeee I must see them again! gah they are so wonderful live :D

ok, now I'm going to be smart and finally go to sleep.

gahhhhhh. i was looking over some of the stuff the counselor gave us, and there were some sheets listing like what schools accepted kids from UNI last year and what the average GPA of people accepted for each school was and the average SAT score and such, and it's really depressing. x____x average GPA for Stanford is something crazy like 4.53. 4.53!!! whatever happened to a good old 4.0?! a nice 4.0 and a 1600 could get you far in colleges. the average at USC is a 4.0, now! my dad said back when he was applying you could get in on a 3.0! bah >:O my dad was all "...i wouldn't have gotten accepted to USC based on these standards." geez. berkeley's like a 4.15, which I suppose is slightly more doable. but a 4.53? blah. there goes any hope i ever had of getting into Stanford x___x I think my goal is going to be USC, because that actually is feasible [...as long as I do well on SATs and finally do community service/other extra curriculars]. Berkeley could be a stretch x___x blah. akf;jdlkjaf goddamn stupid schools >:O I want it to be my freshman year of college so this can all be over with.

My part of the lab report, thus far:

Results:
I HATE SCIENCE. I HATE TRAN. RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR >:O!!!!!!!!

I think I'm off to a wonderful start.


sigh. I need a nap.

"It's your money. You paid for it." - LaCrosse, Wisconsin; October 18, 2000.

gahhh. my The Weakerthans CD and Wonderfalls DVD came today! this is good, because I wanted to watch it this weekend and was afraid it wouldn't come till like next Tuesday, but bad, since... now I want to watch the DVDs but I'm so overloaded with crap because of the concert tomorrow, that there's no possibility of that happening. well, at least I can listen to my CD :) wheee!

French: er half way into the period ish these French students came [...er. this was planned, and not a completely random event, as it might sound] and... yes. we didn't do much. attempted to study or something but failed.

Science: uh. computer lab stuff. oh oh!!! that quiz from like a week or two ago that my mom let me skip my lesson for? i got a 25/26 on! wheee! this brings my grade to a 97.4. aaaawesome. I didn't even have that high of a grade first semester at the very beginning. let's hope I can keep it up.

English: er. quiz. was better than I thought it'd be, actually, but I don't think I did too wonderfully.

Sophomore Counseling: at 10:15, during English, went to the sophomore counseling thing they do. kind of overwhelming x____x planned out my projected schedules for next year and senior year. they look something like this:
Junior Year
-[Honors?] French 4 [...she called it honors, but... I thought it was just French 4. Whatever. Doesn't really matter, I suppose]
-Honors Chemistry
-Honors English 3 [supposedly one of the toughest classes in the school! wonderful, something to look forward to. -____-]
-AP Euro
-Honors Pre-Calc
-Wind Ensemble
-Marching Band

Senior Year [much less definite]
-AP French
-AP Physics
-AP English 4
-AP Poli Sci/AP Econ
-AP Calculus BC [...well, presuming I do well in pre-calc; if I struggle, then it'll be AP Calculus AB]
-Wind Ensemble
-Marching Band

...my senior year scares me more than my junior year o___o she also suggested taking CP Poli Sci/CP Econ at summer school before senior year [don't offer AP summer school classes, for obvious reasons] and then either not having a class or taking something like Study of World Religions one semester [class doesn't exist yet, but she said they're proposing it and it's likely to be accepted] and the American Experience the second semester. I think that sounds better to me, because there isn't really a necessity for Poli Sci/Econ to be AP what with all the other AP classes I'll probably take, and I really like learning about different religions, so I'd like to take the World Religions course [...provided it's accepted and all]. My schedule still freaks me out, though. -_____- uhhh also talked about SAT stuff and when to take, and apparently I'm going to take the SAT 2 for US History in June, SAT 2 for French in like... November of senior year, and... the SAT 2 for something else that I forget. Believe it was math-related, but I could be totally wrong. uhhh and apparently I need more extra curriculars [i so fail at spelling that x___X], but... I kind of already knew that. basically, i need to do community service, make all southern next year and senior year, be a field lieutendant/drum major next year or senior year [or, better yet, both], and join Red Cross again. sigh. x_____x I want to be in 3rd grade again. This stuff was all so far off back then.

AP US: blah. missed a bunch of lecture on the new unit. think I'll bug Michele Wong for notes on Thursday after our test.

Algebra 2: er. same as always.

Wind Ensemble: blah. music. for some reason, I was really exhausted in this class. like, I was tired all day, but in band I really noticed it. very close to falling asleep x___x odd, too, since I didn't do anything all weekend, and I didn't stay up last night any later than usual. sigh. i can't wait till this weekend x____x

blah.

hm. for Valentine's Day, my dad got me some sort of gift card to Barnes & Noble [doesn't say how much it's for] and my mom said she'd buy me tickets to the next concert I want to go to. awesome. i totally forgot that my parents give me presents [not... major presents; i mean... i'm not being completely and totally spoiled]. i mean, i remember getting them when i was younger, but i couldn't remember if they still did that. anyways, very awesome. especially since there are like three concerts in the nearish future that i would like to go to. well, provided that they're near here. i know Warped'll be at Cal State Long Beach July 1st and 6th [need tickets for one and to go super early and see if we can help a band set up or something in exchange for backstage-going-ness] but I don't know about the GC/SP or the TBS/Jimmy Eat World. and Green Day still totally needs to do a show here again. in case, you know, you were wondering. yes.

uhhh. tired. i realized that tomorrow is going to kind of suck, really. like, it'd be fine, except the concert being Wednesday means I need to do my part of the lab report tomorrow night, which complicates things with the 0182-39852348 TV shows I want to watch and my tenor lesson and all. it'll work out, though. always does.

edit: Damage Control looks like utter crap. blah. we don't need another joel. stay good, pierre, stay good!!!

1. My new Bright Eyes CD will not play in my boombox. This makes me sad. I will have to listen to it on the computer [or if I can ever find my CD-player] after I finish listening to my new Alkaline Trio CDs and my new I Can Make a Mess Like Nobody's Business CD.

2. Maybe I'll Catch Fire > Alkaline Trio [self-titled], but I still want to get Goddamnit.

3. New Motion City Soundtrack CD June 7, bitch.

4. Taking Back Sunday/Jimmy Eat World co-headlining spring tour. Dates TBA.

5. I'm more cynical this morning than I was last night, and Green Day was totally robbed [and like all of TWOP agrees with me, so I don't feel biased in saying that] of album of the year. But. Oh well. At least Usher didn't get it.


This week is going to totally rock:
Today: uhh once cleaning people leave, finish Charmed DVDs, finally finally finally watch the episode of House from last Tuesday that I taped while watching Veronica Mars and have been forgetting about all week long, at some point do homework [ok, so that's not one reason why today is going to contribute to the totally-rockingness of this week, but I need to keep writing it down/saying it before I forget to do it x___x crap, I think I have a lot of homework, too. blah.], new episode of Everwood [with Amy crying in the previews! yaaaay! ...um. only because Emily Van Camp is such a fabulous actress and she'll do such a wonderful job with whatever scene is that I absolutely haaaave to watch it], NO LESSON!!!!!!111!!1!! [mondays have just increased in awesomeness times like 7. Of course, being moved to Tuesday decreases Tuesday's awesomeness, but then, Tuesday's were already so obscenely awesome [especially for being in like the middle of the school week, making it odd to be so awesome, since the weekend is so far from Tuesday] that they're still pretty cool, even being knocked down a peg or two.
Tuesday: only one full school day, and then straight into block schedule; ok, yes, a lesson, but at least it's not on Monday; new Veronica Mars [this is enough to make any day fabulous]; new Gilmore Girls [omg don't kill L/L or I'll punch you like whoa >:O]; new House [hopefully I'll remember to watch it before next week, this time]
Wednesday: block schedule, new episode of Lost, new episode of Jack & Bobby [...it's been pretty good, recently! besides, yay for Mike Erwin!], and, oh yes, did I mention? MCS/Matchbook Romance/The Matches/From First to Last/Scatter the Ashes [...man, I totally haven't listened to their CD at all. I fail at life] concert! wheeeeeeee! ...lets just hope they don't enforce that whole 16 and under needs a guardian rule. that would seriously kill this week.
Thursday: block schedule, new The O.C., uhh... ok so Thursday isn't too fabulous. well, well, afterglow from concert >:O
Friday: dude. it's a Friday! nothing more needs to be said. well, other than my Wonderfalls DVD and The Weakerthans's CD should come by Friday at the latest, unless Amazon chooses to be evil and keep it until next Tuesday.
Saturday: watching of Wonderfalls DVDs, hopefully.
Sunday: Spectrumming, I believe? More crap I want :)

And, plus, another three-day weekend. Yes, the next week looks to be good. Hopefully it will be.

omg heeeeeeeeeeeee.

ok, so Loretta Lynn won best country album of the year award, right? And she brought up this guy with her who looked a little younger than her [she looks like she's in her 50's-60's] but around her age, and she kept calling him Jack and such and they seemed to be an item and I assumed he was like her busband, yes? I mean... I've never heard of her before, so I don't know naything. Anyways, I was all "dude, that guy totally looks like what the lead singer of the White Stripes will look like in like 20 years."

and so just now, I'm surfing TWOP, and I see some post and it basically says that the guy with Loretta Lynn was the lead singer of the White Stripes [his name is Jack White, and I had totally forgotten his name when I was watching, so it was no wonder I didn't put two and two together]. ...that's actually kind of scary, because he totally doesn't look like what he looked like in the 7 Nation Army video [which is like the last place I saw him in, which... was like 2 years ago, so it's not too surprising that I wouldn't recognize him now].

um. anyways. yes. i just found that amusing :) plus, that was totally the best acceptance speech of the night :) so yes.

They are totally playing Bright Eyes on KROQ right now. <3 [...except bands I like have been on radio too much recently and it's been bugging me. ...but it's the like... second time I've ever heard them on KROQ, so I'm not too pissed yet. :)]

...and yes, I totally lied about sleeping, and instead am reading reactions to the Grammys on TWOP. ...I'll go to sleep eventually. probably.

warning: there is libel to be a bunch of typos in this post, since i cannot find my glasses and am not wearing contacts, and i'm as blind as a bat when my eyes are all naked. so. yes.

uh today was a very good day. Charmed DVDs until 8, then the Grammys. Didn't finish the Charmed DVDs, so I need to tomorrow. I'd forgotten how much I really enjoy the first season of Charmed and why it used to be my favorite show. wheeee.

Grammy's! uh.

Record of the Year and Album of the Year: ...still have no idea what the difference is between the awards. But. uh. anyways. Both went to Ray Charles. I was all prepared for Album of the Year, the last award given, to be given to Usher, since all the other nominees had won major awards, but then it was given to Ray Charles, and while ideally it would've been given to Green Day, I actually respect Ray Charles as a musician, unlike Usher, so I was a mess of confusion about how to feel after that award was announced. uhhh yeah. pleased that neither Usher nor Kanye West won it, didn't care about Alicia Keys [don't like her personally, but she is definitely a better musician than Usher and Kanye West], respected Ray Charles as a nominee/winner but don't like him personally either [...er by that, I mean his music is not my taste of music, not that like I did like him as a person. er. yes], and wanted Green Day to win. Oh well.

Rock Album of the Year: Green Day! wheee. wanted them to get it more than anyone else in the category, but then again, I probably wouldn't be too terribly unhappy if any of the others nominated had one. still. Green Day! I'm so about to go on a Green Day liking-full-a-lot-ness spree, so be warned :)

Song of the Year: went to "Daughters" by John Mayer. Again, prepared to be pissed off because I knew it'd go to like... Usher or someone else [...although there weren't really any bands I loved in this category, I believe] but... then it went ot an artist who is somewhat decent, so I was a bit pleased.

Best New Artist: I would've bet $1000 it would go to Kanye West. But they threw me for a loop by giving it to Maroon 5. I think that shocked like... everyone. I think that's pretty awesome, because out of the rock category, rock bands generally don't win awards [...well I suppose Maroon 5 are more pop than rock]. I don't like them nearly as much as I did a year ago, but I am pleased they won, especially over Kanye West [although I had a feeling they might've passed him over for it in favor of giving him the best rap album for the year (which, btw, I thought toally should've gone to Jay-Z, simply because I hate Kanye West and because Jay-Z is more legendary and stuff. but then, I hate rap, so... I didn't really give a shit either way)]. So yeah. Totally cool they won.

U2: Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal and Best Rock Song. I wished Best Rock Song would go to Green Day, but... I liked like all the nominees under Best Rock Song, so... it wasn't likely that I'd be too incredibly disappointed with the results. Besides, I like Vertigo. It's quite catchy :) And I really respect U2 as a group and enjoy their music well enough. So... yeah. cool for them :) Oh, and I love how they totally acknowledged the awesomeness of all the othe rbands in the Best Rock Song group before thanking anyone else. I thought that was really cool of them :) Oh, they also got Best Short Form Music Video. nice.

uh I think those are all the awards I cared about, besides best alternative album, which didn't go to who I wanted either. oh well.

performances!

Intro Performance: While I didn't like the majority of the bands playing, it ended up being pretty cool. I don't like Maroon 5 incredibly much anymore, and I hate the Black Eyed Peas, but I thought it was really cool when it went from the end of the Maroon 5 song, "This Love", to that guy from the Black-Eyed Peas going back to "Let's Get it Started" and him handing Adam Levine [lead singer of Maroon 5] a guitar and the guy from the BEP rapping and Adam Levine playing a freaking crazy guitar riff :) And plus, Franz Ferdinand! Awesome performance :)

Green Day: awesome. woosh. I totally need to see them live. THey've shot straight up to number one of bands I want to see live the most. blah. I'm stopping at nothing next time they come to southern CA >:O

Various Artists Cover of the Beatles's "Across the Universe" for Tsunami Relief: could've been like overly cheesy, but I thought it ended up being pretty good. I mean, dude. Billie Joe Armstrong, Stevie Wonder, Steven Tyler, Bono, Scott Weiland, etc.? Pretty awesome.

uh. so yeah. could've been better, I suppose, and if I had chosen who got what award, the results would've definitely different, but ended up all right, for the most part.

oh, and lastly:

Hoobastank being completely snubbed of any award: <333333333

[although, The Killers being snubbed of any award: =( ]

and now I should totally go to sleep. woosh.

spectrummed after much confusion and Tiffany sleeping into 5 million o'clock PM :) I got a new Alkaline Trio sweatshirt, Charmed Season 1 on DVD, and 4 CDs: Bright Eyes "Lifted", I Can Make a Mess Like Nobody's Business [self-titled], Alkaline Trio [self-titled], and Alkaline Trio "Maybe I'll Catch Fire". omfg I wanted Wonderfalls Season 1 on DVD sooooo freaking badly but they didn't have it anywhere >:O I even had the people at Barnes & Noble and FYE like check in their computers, but it wasn't there. It was sad, too, because both times the people looked at me weirdly and were like "...how do you spell that?" and such. It makes me sad they have noidea what Wonderfalls is, but I suppose that may be because FOX FUCKING CANCELLED IT AFTER A MERE FOUR FUCKING EPISODES!!!!!1!!1!!! ...I'm totally not still bitter about that, by the way. :) None of the stores had the Weakerthans "Left and Leaving" either x________x this made me very disappointed. but I bitched to my mom on the way home and she's going to buy me both of those things on Amazon.com [...well, I do have to pay for them, of course] so at least I'll end up getting them. Still, it makes me angry. We need better media-type-buying stores here >:O

mmkay, off to watch Charmed Season 1! wheeee :) I want season 6 on DVD even though it kind of sucked solely because of the prettiness of Chris :) woosh.

ah. I've had such the urge to watch Buffy Season 2 recently. I totally would, too, except there's no way I'd get through even half the episodes I'd want to watch tonight, and tomorrow I'm getting Wonderfalls on DVD [...provided we go to the spectrum. We are going to the spectrum, right? RIGHT?!] so... I won't have time to after that. blah. maybe next three day weekend. which... is like next weekend. awesome! :)

uh. yes. Buffy season 2 is the epitome of perfection. or. something good-sounding like that :)

"I also have picked a secretary for Housing and Human Development. Mel Martinez from the state of Florida." - Austin, Texas; December 20, 2000.

French: er. not much. blah.

Science: sub! woosh! ...except it's that annoying guy sub. but. still. sub! watched a video. rar.

English: er. answered questions for that short story thing.

AP US: woosh. no lecture! he put on a video about the twenties. I was totally going to read the book I started reading recently that I got for my birthday, but I started watching the movie and it actually interested me.

Algebra 2: uh. stuff. oh, and quizzes back. I got a 13/15 which is an 87, which isn't too bad. One of the questions I missed was really easy, too. blah.

Wind Ensemble: uh. music. yes. woosh.

i am tiiiired. >:O but yaaaay for the weekend! :DDD

We're very generous." - Washington, D.C.; July 16, 2003.

Science: boring lab, except for the part with the fire :) new lab partners! blah. well, not blah. My partner is Seher, and that's not bad or anything. I am kind of friends with her, and she's very nice. but I don't see why we had to change x___X gah. stupid Tran.

Office Hours: sectionals. woosh.

AP US: tests back. Got a 84.3 [curved] which... is actually a hell of a lot better than I was expecting. Besides, I started 2nd quarter with a like 79 and by the next test I had pulled it up to an A. So I'm not incredibly concerned. Just need to study more for the next tests. uh rest of the period was notes. blah. need to revise my DBQ tonight. whatever, he probably won't count it, but if he does, it'll only be worth like 15 points, which isn't much.

Wind Ensemble: uh. music. craaazy. er after school Mrs. Bentley had be come talk to her about what I wanted to play in band and what I wanted to focus on and all, because my teacher called her and talked to her about me and said that I was confused about what instrument I wanted to play, which is so completely NOT fucking true which he'd know if he'd ever freaking LISTEN to me. So yeah. I spent 10 min talking to her about that, and told her that I was totally clear on what I wanted to do, and she agreed that tenor would be best for me, except for like All Southern auditions because saxophone competition is crazy like whoa. so. yes. blahhhh i really want a new teacher x____x

uhhh. I should do homework, but I really don't want to -___- er spectrumming Saturday, yes? better. I have a bunch of crap I want to get >:O rar. ahhh I am so looking forward to sleeping in on Saturday morning. I haven't been able to sleep in since like... 2 weeks ago. rar.

Blah. I have a fear Veronica Mars isn't going to be renewed. Such crappy ratings! sigh. but such a brilliant show x____X oh oh. any Buffy fans [...meaning Lulu, Annie, and Jackie, basically, but mostly Lulu because I think she'd be more likely to than anyone] should start watching soon because Alyson Hannigan is going to guest star for some odd episodes. so so yes. watch. >:O

uh. anyways.

French: again didn't do the skit. hm. I think I should remind her about that, because I don't really want a 0 for it x___X otherwise... uh... didn't do much.

Office Hours: made up AP US test. woosh.

English: er. listened to very long very boring short story.

Algebra 2: homework, notes, quiz. woosh.

gah. After school I was walking to my mom's car and she got out and was walking towards me and was all "Go get your tenor" and I was all "...o__O why?" and she was all "Your lessons are on Tuesdays now. Go get your tenor." and i was just all a;slkfjdlaksjfdlkj because I had my afternoon all planned out and I didn't want my lesson to ruin it and I was pissed that it was all of a sudden "Lessons on Tuesdays NOW" with no consulting me or what I thought and I gave some excuse about a math quiz [which I do have] and how I didn't know anything and I was planning on studying loads and she allowed me to miss this but alskfjd now my lessons are on Tuesdays and while that's much better than Mondays, it still sucks. I mean, Tuesdays were also such a relief after Mondays. I had block days to look forward to, new episodes of Veronica Mars, Gilmore Girls, and house, my parents are gone all afternoon/night until like... 9, and it's just... nice. But now I have a freaking lesson from 5:30-6:00 [which really means 5:00-6:30, since it's in Tustin] which puts a dent into my lovely Tuesdays. gahhhh. alskfjdk and it's not even worth it! i hate my teacher and the only time he's ever helped me is with the audition music for All Southern, and even that I didn't need very much help on. He was just all "uh. play this part faster. 'cause... it's supposed to be faster." alkfjd;lkjsf I want a new teacher that can have lessons on Wednesdays x___x they're totally the perfect day, except when there are concerts on Wednesdays. But that's not very often [next Wednesday, though! wheeee] so... yeah. a;lsdjlk gah. I hate this.

"I want to thank you for coming to the White House to give me an opportunity to urge you to work with these five senators and three congressmen, to work hard to get this trade promotion authority moving. The power that be, well most of the power that be, sits right here." - Washington, D.C.; June 18, 2001.

French: uh. we were supposed to do our skit, but she must've forgot. I didn't even remember till like after the class was over.

Science: quiz. not too bad. hopefully I did well. I'm aiming for B's or above on tests/quizzes this semester. blah.

English: sub. woosh. practice business letter and then a movie.

AP US: heh. I was going to try to see if I could take the test tomorrow during office hours since he was giving a lecture today and I hate missing lectures and having to copy other people's notes, and like the second I walked in he was all "Do you want to take the test during office hours tomorrow instead?" and I was all "o__o yes!" so... yeah. uh. otherwise. notes all period.

Algebra 2: er. notes, homework, etc.

Wind Ensemble: music. gah last Tuesday they put a new wire on my top teeth and the ends on each side are too long and they've been poking into my cheeks and digging holes in the skin there. it hurts x___x and normally it's ok, but it hurts majorly when I play tenor. plus, my mouth is still kind of sore from playing bass clarinet for like 7 hours a day last weekend. so yeah. band isn't very fun x___X major pain of the mouth

blah. I think I should've just agreed to go to the lesson today, because now it's like... I really want to watch the new episodes of my TV shows, and I can get away with Gilmore Girls because my parents don't come home till after that, but I don't know how I'll get by with Veronica Mars, let alone both it and House. x_____x I think I'll just watch it anyways. She usually gets back around 9:15-9:30, and I can just... be all... "I'm taking a break." Or I could get my French hw out and do that while watching the show so I can be all "Oh I'm taking a break from studying to finish my homework." I don't care as much about House because... it's enjoyable, but I'm not dying to see what happens next. I'll just record it and watch it tomorrow.

blah. I'm tired. al;kjdfljk gah I hate my teacher. I don't see why I just can't get another one x____x;;;

...how is it that I've finished studying already? o___O I think something is not right here.

Advil is love.

!! my mom cancelled my lesson! i didn't even have to whine or bitch! it was like [gets into car] "I cancelled your lesson for today." i mean, i did bitch a lot about it last week and the science quiz and how my lessons make it harder for me to do well in science and stuff and... yes. so she cancelled it :D wheeee.

French: uh. skit things. was absent for that >:O

Science: er. sat around and talked about the second semester project thing. He was all "You just have to read this book. Well, you also have to make a few notecards where on one side you have a passage and then on the other side you write what you felt about the passage. How many? Only about 50. Oh, and there's this whole other part of the project where you make a [at minimum] 25 minute movie based on the book. ...and you have to make a movie poster for it. But other than that, there's nothing else you have to do for it! Oh, and did I mention? It counts for as much as your grade as science fair! Have fun!" x_____x sigh.

English: since I was absent, I didn't know we needed our lit books, so I had to go from the village to the 300's and back. blah. x___X uhhh the rest of the period was blah and boring.

AP US: hm. apparently on Friday he gave people their DBQ's from last week sometime back and gave notes on how the documents related to the prompt and stuff and how to rewrite them so i have to find someone who has Sorey to give me their notes and then I need to rewrite it by like Thursday/Friday. x______x gack. And the AP US test tomorrow! [dies]

Algebra 2: blah. homework and notes.

Wind Ensemble: geez, it was so small, in comparison to how All Southern was. and I actually could play all the music! ...which... I... of course could during All Southern. coughcough.

i want it to be tomorrow at 9 PM. x________x

Uh. Did this before on LJ but never at my blog, and Lulu just did it and it was fun, so I'm doing it >:O Totally doing science homework after this. Of course. [coughcough]

[On your current playlist, hit shuffle and pick the first twenty songs on the list and write down your favorite line of the song. Try to avoid putting the song title in the line. Then, have your friends comment and see if they know the songs.]

1. It's hard to wave goodbyes from airplanes / When I just don't think that you can see
2. Then on the last day he breaks / And he stood tall / And he yelled / And he takes his life
3. We're the stars under the barrel of a gun
4. Dawning of a new era / Calling... don't let it catch you falling / Ready or not at all
5. Just forget about it / Set your mark, and keep around it / Thoughts that are just the opposite of you
6. Another line without a hook
7. In your corner / Makes me wanna / Douse myself with gasoline / Civil servents fall in line for you / Too brainwashed to see the truth / You use anyone you can
8. And tomorrow who knows where we'll be / From here I can hardly see a thing
9. Dearly beloved are you listening? / I can't remember a word that you were saying / Are we demented or am I disturbed? / The space that's inbetween insane and insecure
10. And I write a letter, from a one-way train / But I don't think you'll read it at all
11. And it's been autumn since the day that I met you / If I had bottomed, I'd crawl out alone
12. I'm willing to bleed for days my reds and grays / So you don't hurt so much
13. My mouth is dry / My face is numb / Fucked up and spun out in my room
14. But now it's time to roll / This somber state is getting old
15. Willing and ready to prove the worst of everything you said about me
16. Stood on my roof and tried to see you forgetting about me
17. Preach all you want, but who's going to save me?
18. I can't complain if I don't know how / It's a sad sad song with no storyline
19. I shot the pilot, now I'm begging you to fly this for me / I'm here for you to used, broken and bruised / Do you understand?
20. Oh the tongue's the only muscle in my body that works harder than my heart


Heh. This little... meme thing is so much easier with an ipod than it was with Windows Media Player when I last did it.

Uh. I'll post what's what song in a few days. Yes. Have fun.

Edit: oh. um. by the way. I looked on the little answer key I created so I don't forget what song is by whom, and absolutely know one [...as far as I know] is going to get #7 or #8. #9 is also possible, but think that maybe one person might get it =/ Uh but if someone wanted to... get a little help on 7 or 8 [i.e. entering the lyrics into google and seeing who they're by] then I wouldn't be too horribly upset. The rest of them I believe that there is at least one person who will [or should] be able to get, but those 2 I don't know of anyone I know who listens to them. So. Yeah.

All Southern Concert was today. It was cool :) I think that All Southern was worth missing a day of school and all the homework I have to do this afternoon and the test I have to study for. ...but I may be of a different opinion after I've started doing the work I need to do. Ahhh life is going to suck until Tuesday at 8 :) Oh well. It was a nice weekend, anyways. Even with the getting up at like 6 on a Saturday.

Superbowl Sunday! Parents' friends are coming over. My parents are all "Oh, you should ask one of your friends over," but... I have too much homework/studying for AP US test. sigh.

woosh. :)

What allegiance is owed to the word “gay”, which, when used as an insult to things believed to be stupid or dysfunctional, could easily be swapped for just about any other word that gets the point across without suggesting that there’s something wrong with people who desire a romantic or sexual draw towards persons of their same gender? - Mitch Clem.

Meaning, if you don't like something or something is bad or whatever, why say "OMG that's so gay!!!1!!" when you could just easily say "Wow, that sucks,"?

and Mitch Clem [...i feel like I'm getting his name wrong x____x] is so totally awesome, even if he hates like every band I like. :)

More All Southernness! much like yesterday, minus the chair test. Saw all the UNI people doing the clinic. Blah. I wanted to be in it >:O rehearsal gets really boring x___x sigh. oh well.

concert tomorrow. and studying for the AP US test and doing a crapload of homework if I don't end up doing it tonight which is... very likely. blah.

All Southern! interesting. uhhh first two hours were spent mostly practicing and waiting for a chair test :) I ended up getting 2nd of 5 bass clarinets, which is pretty decent considering I practiced for 30 min last night and then... like two hours today [...actually the first hour was mostly me trying to figure out what the hell was I supposed to do, because it said stuff about clarinet and other instrument auditions but not bass clarinets] and didn't really care what chair I got, so yes. Wish I had practiced more, because if I was first, I would be sitting next to Annie. oh well.

uhhhh before lunch rehearsal was superior to after lunch rehearsal. lunch itself was fun. wandered around aimlessly with Annie, Brian Kim, and Matt Chen trying to find the cafeteria-type place and ended up giving up and sitting in the middle of the road [it was so a road, Annie] and stealing Annie's sandwich and water.

blah tired. my mouth burns, too x___x but it was fun, despite the boringness of the second part of rehearsal. woosh. tomorrow is more rehearsal and the clinic! fun.

i should probably attempt starting homework sometime tonight, but I don't have much faith in that happening.

dude. Good Charlotte/Simple Plan coheadlining tour this spring. This is cool and all, but geeez couldn't they have put together this tour when I was in late 8th grade? Do you know how fucking insane I'd be going now? sigh. uhhh just announced very recently, so no dates yet. Hopefully will be able to go :)

uhhh geez. people on LJ are too nice. -_____- i post icons and they go all woosh and several people who i really respect for their majorly amazing icon-ing skills [091283907298357028-34098 times better than me] complimented me and it's like wheeeee good feeling for Michelle :) ahhh made me so happy. like when I write fics and people review. ...except making icons is a lot easier for me.

uhhhh. yes. i should do homework! but i'm stupid, so i'll wait till like 9, and then be all "dude, I don't even have school tomorrow, I'll leave it till Sunday night when I have NO TIME TO DO ANYTHING AT ALL because I'm smart like that." sigh.

weekend of doom commences. ...except, i think that was two weekends ago. hm. too many crappy weekends >:O the doom is not so much the All Southernness, 'cause that'll be kind of cool, but more the having 505001098-8231 homework things/tests to study for during the weekend and having no fucking time to do it in. sigh.

French: um. my memory dies. it was like... french.. and... stuff.

Science: ;alksjfdlkj I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I FUCKING KNEW IT AHHHHHH x_____x the second we started this unit I was all "we're totally having a quiz next Tuesday, aren't we?" which we fucking are. omfg ahhhhh i hate him!!!!!!!!!! >:O!!!!!!!!! lkajsfd;kjasldfjalkfj gahhhhh CAN'T HE EVER HAVE A FREAKING QUIZ/TEST ON A THURSDAY?!?!? I DO NOTHING THURSDAYS! I SIT IN MY ROOM, DO LIKE A TIIINY BIT OF SCIENCE, AND ONCE EVERY 3 WEEKS OR SO I STUDY FOR AN AP US TEST BUT MOST OF THE TIME I FREAKING SIT IN MY ROOM AND DO NOTHING! but NOOOOO he can't do what's convenient for me, can he? he just HAS to put it on Tuesday, when all weekend i'm overloaded with crap so I can't study till Monday, but Monday I have my fucking lesson and I can't miss that [even though he doesn't help me AT ALL and it's a fucking waste of money] so that's like an hour and a half out of my afternoon and it's all alk;sjdfljks;lfkjlkjlakjsd; AHHHHHHH. i'm convinced part of the reason i did badly on many of the tests/quizzes last semester in science was because so many of them were on Tuesdays. gah. i told my mom that and she said she'd see what she could do, but he insists on having the lessons on Mondays and gahhhhhhhhh. x_____x

English: uh. dunno. poem. woosh.

AP US: DBQ. X___________X;;;;; he totally didn't mention it before today, either. rar. al;kjfdlakjsdflkj blah. i wrote such crap :) in the middle he came up to me and was all:
Him: Did I give you an A in this class?
Me: Yes?
Him: Did you get all A's?
Me: ...I got one B.
Him: What class did you get a B in?
Me: Uh. Science.
Him: Who's that with?
Me: Tran.
Him: Is that... C...
Me: Honors CS-2.
Him: You got a B? I thought you were a genius!
Me: ...he's really hard. -____-
Him: Tran? I've heard that about him.
Me: Yes.

And then he went away and let me get back to my DBQ. blah.

Algebra 2: woosh. all this permutations and combinations crap we learned in 6th grade like extensively. wheeeeee.

Wind Ensemble: er. musicyness [that is so totally a word shut up].

blah. tired. and have to wake up super early like whoa tomorrow for All Southern. blahhhhh.

pretties!




wheee. finally got back my icon muse this afternoon a little. rar holly is so prettyyyy.

uh. i made a post about my day, as i always do, and then blogger ate it. and i freaking hate when that happens and i hate going through my day a second time, and nothing very interesting happened, so... i'll just not go through it again. so. yes.

uh. perhaps i should start my homework sometime soon. seeing as, last night I completely forgot i even had homework until like 9 pm. and I remembered right in the middle of a segment of the rerun of Veronica Mars I was watching, and when the commercial came I stood up and was all "Ok! There was something I had to do!" and had forgotten again and had to wait till the next commerical to finally remember and have it actually stay in my head, so it was more like 9:30 when I finally got to the homework. um. but. yeah. so maybe I should try doing that sometime.

ahhh Veronica Mars owns. I almost enjoyed watching a rerun of it more than a new episode of House. Actually, I think I did enjoy the rerun more. And I like House! It's not even a bad show! That was actually one of their best episodes, I thought, since it finally changed up the formula a bit and there were loads of lines that made me go "hee!" But man... Veronica Mars. That wasn't even one of its best episodes, but... geez. Even the weaker episodes are fantabulous. Besides, I totally adore that episode of its ending, and the total awesomeness of the Lilly tape Logan put together and the total Vernoica/Loganness in it and ahhhh. heh, I like how afterwards I was all "asl;fjd geez. I want to make a Veronica Mars layout!" and... then I remembered that I already have a Veronica Mars layout. right. I'm good at this. but it does so totally rock. wheeeee!

ok. homework. right.

better than I expected.

lots of quotes!

French: final grade: 92.3. But I knew that last Thursday, so no real surprise. uhhh didn't do much.

Science: 87.2, but again, knew that Thursday. omg my first B since elementary school!!!1!!1!one!1!! our units are so fucking STUPID ahhhhhh x___x Population and Energy?!? what the FUCK?! x_______x blah. I'll try harder this semester. Do extra credit [though in the end, it wouldn't have helped me. 87.2+2% would being me to 89.2. So now I don't feel quite as stupid for not doing it, since it wouldn't have mattered :)] and actually study for tests/quizzes [he needs to not assign them for tuesdays, though -_____- that, or I need to switch my tenor lessons to Wednesdays, but since that's never going to happen, he needs to not assign them for tuesdays] and such. ahhh why did we have to switch seats? i loved my seat before! now I sit next to Pranav and I'm in the very front row. x______x gahhhhh. a;lksfj and why do we have to switch lab partners?! I only know like two people in the class, anyways! one is Tiffany, and can't be partners with her again, and the other is Andrew and I think he's switching out [he changed his schedule, and I can't imagine he'd stay in Tran]. I guess... Seher? but I don't know her very well x___X whatever, at least there aren't many lab reports due second semester. and i guess as long as my partner isn't Pranav, I'll survive [blah. and I just jinxed myself]. sigh. I don't get why we can't just keep our lab partners if we want to.

English: 92!!! holy fuckola. 94 on the final. a freaking 96 on the essay. O__________O;;;; that's higher than any essay this year. ahhh I'm so proud :D I was seriously certain that I'd get a 75. geez. I like how she wrote "very well planned essay! wow!" and like... I didn't plan at all for it. And my conclusion was last second insert quote here that doesn't fit and babble on about nothing. blah it sucks though that I finally got an A on an essay without preparation because like... it'd be one thing if I had prepared all night and really worked hard and concentrated on such and such issue and then I had gotten an A, because then I could duplicate the work I did for next time. But I have no. fucking. clue. what I did. Like, if I tried to do it again for the next essay, I'd like... uhhh... prepare for 15 min the night before, run out of time and scribble down a conclusion in a minute or so, and insert very little backstory so the reader has no idea what I'm talking about? blah. I mean, I am happy, but... I'm also incredibly perplexed. Whatever. I have an A. I'm satisfied. And with this A, I keep my 4.0 which means I don't have to explain to my mom why I got a B in English since... I didn't! And I can keep going to concerts/spectrum and such :)

AP US: 89.3. holy fuck x___x I barely squeaked by with an A. ah so fucking happy Sorey rounds up from an 89 :) Otherwise I'd have another B, and... that wouldn't make my mom very happy. Whatever, I don't care about the percentage, as long as it goes on my report card as an A [or A-, whatever; my mom may be turning Asian, but she's not so Asian that she thinks A-'s are failing. As long as the A is somewhere in the grade, she doesn't care if it's a 90 or a 100. So yes]. uhhh didn't do anything else the rest of the period. Well, did my French homework. Oh, and we lectured, but it wasn't very long. Test on Friday, which fucking sucks since I'm pretty sure we have All Southern practice during school x___x I'm not 100% sure, I'll have to check, but man does that suck x___x I suppose I can make it up next Wednesday but... blah. I hate missing tests, and teachers hate when you miss them, and it's all just gack and die. -_____- I thought the test was on Wednesday! sigh.

Algebra 2: 91.5. Which... she put as an A, though I would think it'd be an A-. I guess it rounds up to a 92? Whatever, it's an A. Didn't do very well on the final but... I needed at least a 74, and I got a B [...a low B] so... I don't care. Probably due to my studying solely for the science final that was that day and only looking over my Algebra 2 notes like... twice. And not checking my answers [...it was a really long test and I just wanted it over with x___x].

Wind Ensemble: uh. I'm third chair. Which is interesting, since I'm the only tenor. she ranked me with Emma and Mike, which I don't really get the point of, since we don't play the same instruments and our parts are actually different more often than not. But whatever. uhhh she's going to have one of the altos switch to tenor since we now have 6 altos and 1 tenor and I guess 6 altos is too much? blah, I liked being the only tenor. :( oh well. hope she doesn't decide to move me back to bass clarinet =/ I guess I'm better at it, but... I definitely prefer the tenor parts. I just... need to work on my chromatic a lot more. I think she's going to most likely move Miri to tenor, since she already has played it before? Anyways, left at 2:15 to go to my orthodontist appointment. wasn't as bad as I thought it could potentially be, but it didn't go as well as I had foolishly hoped. sigh. in 2-4 weeks after taking x-rays, they're going to have a "conference". x___________x this concerns me, especially since I don't think I'll be included in this conference. blah. well, at least my mom said she'd rather wait till I'm an adult if I'm to end up having jaw surgery. So I don't have to worry about that at the moment, which was my greatest concern about the appointment. then again, they could somehow convince her, which would be bad, since... I don't want ot have jaw surgery -______- blah. I'm sick of braces and orthidonture. i'm fine with leaving my jaw and teeth wrong. -________- sigh.

uh, not too much homework, which is yay, but no block schedule this week, which is boo. don't get why we don't haver block schedule. -_____- blah.
