If I Don't HAVE to Do Anything, I Won't

Listening to: Helena by My Chemical Romance
What I Should Be Doing: Editing videos =)


I'm so lazy. I haven't updated this in like years. :)

Thanksgiving break = a-mazing.

I've got nothin' to dooo! xD

Actually, I have to edit videos for my YouTube. But I don't really HAVE to do that.

"What's with the Permanent Addition of the Creepy Old Guy?"

Listening to: Histrionics by The Higher
What I Should Be Doing: Writing a claim for the question 'In this poem, the Green Knight is the evil figure with the ultimately good heart. Are there any evil figures in today's society that ultimately have good hearts?"
I'm Also: Reading fanfiction because I'm a loser =), talking to my crazy amazing friends, saving a video, and playing Solitaire

I'm totally obsessed with Histrionics. Not even kidding. xD

I was happier last year, but this year's been good in its own way too. I mean, I've had fun with my friends and at concerts, and there've been little things that have just been awesome, but ... I find myself randomly moping more this year. Like, the day after the This Providence concert, when my parents came home, I was all "Nothappydon'ttalktome" and moping and just feeling sad. And I don't know why. =( I don't like it.

Sometimes people just make me smile. Whether I particulary like them or not.

My legs were sore from fitness today, but I swear we've done nothing but "active stretching." [Active stretching = stupid.]

FUZZYMAN,IWISHYOU'DCOVERBINGOFORME.I'DLOVEYOUFOREVERANDNEVERBOTHERYOUEVERAGAIN.HAPPYBIRTHDAY.

Cab drivers scare me.

Maybe I'll tell my a-mazing experience with terrifying cab drivers in a vid someday.

SCARY CAB RIDES + BANANAS AT 4 AM = NIGHTMARES.

Wow, that was off topic.

Not that there ever is a topic. xD

My - I was going to say my hair smells like shampoo.

Well, considering I showered like an hour ago, I think that makes sense.

Wow. I need to concentrate. :)

This week's going to take forever. I can just about promise that. xP

Your Pajamas Make Me Sleepy

Listening to: Nothing
What I Should Be Doing: Sleeping =)


Okay, so today was awesome. xD

I woke up around 12:45 and Manola and I hung out for a little bit before going to IHOP for "breakfast." Afterward we drove around for a while, looking at venues to see if tour buses were there yet, and then we went to a huge parking lot and I got to drive for a while. xD We came home around 3, I showered ['cause I'd gone to "breakfast" in my pajamas] and we decided that we were going to see Fred Claus at 4:40. We went and saw it [it was a pretty good movie] and then decided to drive around to see if This Providence and the bands they were touring with were at the venue they were playing yet.

We drove by a bridge THREE times just so I could see if the two guys leaning against it were in the band or not [I'm still not sure if they were or not. =)] because I'm indecisive and didn't want to ask them. Then we decided we might as well just go watch them play and talk to them afterward, so Manola went home really fast and put jeans on ['cause she was still in like pajamas. xD]. She also grabbed a Sharpie, because we wanted them to sign stuff. xP

We go, pay the $12 each to get in, get the 'underage' wrist bands, buy a This Providence T-shirt, and go stand with a bunch of other people to watch the first band play. It's already almost 8 and the show started at 7, so I don't know why the band hadn't already started, but either way, we watched The Reign of Kindo, who were pretty good. [We kind of played tic tac toe on the water bottle I bought instead of paying much attention though.] I hadn't heard any of their songs before, but we ended up buying their EP. Then The Higher came on, and they were amazing, even though I only knew Insurance?. I was impressed and we ended up buying their CD, too. =D

When This Providence came on, we actually got to move closer to the stage, but they took FOREVER to set up. Still, they were AMAZING. I forgot a lot of the words, but they were still so awesome live. =) I was really really sweaty and my feet hurt and I kind of had a headache, but I was REALLY happy. Plus, I had My Beautiful Rescue stuck in my head. xD

That's when we went and bought the CD and EP, and got Seth from The Higher to sign the CD booklet thingy [y'know, the thing with the lyrics?]. We also got a free poster from The Reign of Kindo. =) Then, I went and got all of the members of This Providence to sign my shoes AND my shirt. xD That just about made my life. I mean, my shoes now have seven amazing signatures from seven amazing people AND I have an amazing band T-shirt with five amazing signatures. xD Yeah, I'm a loser.

Anyway, they were all really nice about it, even though I had NO idea what any of their names were [and felt AWFUL about it]. I walked around with my shoes in my hands and now my socks are disgustingly dirty. I shouldn't have worn white ones. xD Since my shoes are kinda filled up with writing and drawings and crud, it was kinda hard for them to find places to write. David said my shoes were "filled with goodness." Dan just said something about space being limited. xD Sean signed my shoelace. That and the "filled with goodness" comment seriously made me happy. xD Gavin seemed kind of annoyed, or maybe just indifferent, and Andy was nice about it, but didn't really say anything more than agreeing to sign both things. Still. The whole thing just made my life. Especially since I wasn't even going to go to the concert in the first place.


Unfortunately, I forgot my camera [since I wasn't sure if we were actually gonna go or not] so I don't have any pictures... :( But it's okay, 'cause I still had an awesome time. Even though I forgot the words and leaned against a patch of gum that was stuck to the wall. xD

I really like that they walked around after the show so that their fans got to meet/talk with them. [I mean, I guess they have to do that to make a good impression or whatever, but still.] After The Academy Is... didn't come out, I was kinda worried that I wouldn't get to meet ANYBODY. But everybody from This Providence was hanging out with people and taking pictures and signing things. I like that a lot more. =)

Daphne Loves Derby started playing during all of this, but neither of us really knew who they were and I was tired and Manola was sick, so we just left. We went to Whataburger for dinner and watched parts of movies until I was sure that I was gonna fall asleep on the couch upstairs, so I decided to go to bed. And that's when I came down here, put pajamas on, and decided to update my blog instead of going to sleep. xD

Cold = Happy.

Listening to: Everything is Alright by Motion City Soundtrack
What I Should Be Doing: Working on inner/outer circle questions [bleh.]

When ever I come to blogger.com, I wait and look for interesting blogs in the 'Blogs updated at 7:03 PM' scrolly thing. xD I've yet to find literate blogs just about people's lives. Maybe I'm crazy. =P

Web comics took over my life this summer. Seriously. I dedicate myself to reading ALL of the comics in the archive and it takes me a few hours or possibly days, depending on what I'm doing during the day and how many comics there are to go through. I have like 30 bookmarked, but I haven't finished all of the archives for all of those. xD Though I have finished Questionable Content, Mac Hall [which is kind of over now anyway], 21deadmonkeys, Wapsi Square, Afterstrife, Multiplex... There's kind of too many. =P

I just realized I don't have a life. :)

Um. I really want to see Powerspace live. Everytime I listen to their CD, I'm just like "MUSTSEETHEMLIVE." Yes.

Yeah, totally had something to talk about.

But I forgot what it was.

I wish I had a book to read. And friends at my dad's house.

Singing in the Rain wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be. =)

Well, My Weekend's Ruined

Listening to: You're Crashing, But You're No Wave by Fall Out Boy
What I Should Be Doing: Absolutely nothing unfortunately.

Today was awesome. And then I got in the car to come home.

AND IT STARTED SUCKING. TIMES FRICKIN' TWELVE.

Like, I actually had fun at school. I yelled at a bunch of idiots in the lunch line [there were about forty (okay, so there weren't FORTY. BUT THERE WERE A LOT! xP) of them all trying to shove their way up the lunch line and they were getting really obnoxious, so... xD] in front of the dean of students and he didn't care. xD I coughed on the ones that didn't listen to me, also... It was fun. I always have fun yelling at people. Seriously. It like makes my day about twenty times better. 'Cept for the adrenaline rush after. =)

We did absolutely nothing in History, which is also freaking amazing. That was fun, too. xD And then I went to English with my group to finish our questions for a socratic seminar and after stress and craziness, we goofed off and it was fun too. :P

And I was really looking forward to this weekend [ALL FRICKING WEEK TOO] because my friend was s'posed to stay with me [my parents and my siblings were gonna go on a mission trip], and we basically hang out and do random crud, and it's AMAZING. xD They're usually my favorite weekends like ever. =P

And then I get in the car.

And my friend's all "Yeah, your mom apparently didn't go on the mission trip." And I'm like "... WHAT!?!?!"

And, not even kidding, it ruined my day. My sister's supposedly sick [which, seriously, I don't believe, because I've seen her running around, and she's eating candy and buttered pasta and just CRUD, while her "stomach hurts." LIES.] and that's why my mom's staying. But really, my friend coulda watched her. We usually both stay anyway...

Since then, I've been yelled at for not having all A's [IT'S A FRICKING FINE ART. DIGITAL VIDEO DOESN'T MATTER.] and I'm going to be forced to watch a movie with my sister and mom later and I don't want to. At all.

Plus, my friend was s'posed to stay with us next weekend too, but my mom's all "I might stay home" so that really sucks. And "I might stay home" pretty much means "I'LLBEHERE." And that sucks because we never see my friend. =(

And I ranted about my mom not letting me go to a venue unless the band was Christian and how she thinks "tattoos = bad people" and how I've missed like four concerts in the past week 'cause she wouldn't lemme go to any of them. And even THINKING about that makes me want to cry.

Like, I freaking live for concerts and music and that crud. I don't care about like anything else. [Pathetic, but completely true.]

So. Today sucks.
