Listening to: When I'm With You by Simple Plan
What I Should Be Doing: Showering.
I'm Also: TRYING DESPERATELY TO PLAN TO GO TO HCT IN A CITY AN HOUR AWAY, checking Facebook, and surfing songsmeaning.net
Parents out of town + waking up at like 1 PM + IHOP + driving by a bridge 3 times to see if the guys standing next to it were in This Providence + playing tic tac toe on a water bottle while Reign of Kindo played + discovering The Higher + seeing and meeting This Providence + "You're shoes are filled with goodness" = amazingly awesome day. =)
This happened back in November, by the way. xD
Sorry.
It's oh-so-possible I may get to see Motion City Soundtrack after all. AND THAT'D BE SO FLIPPING AWESOME.
I love you, Anna's parents. SERIOUSLY.
I actually finished my homework before 8 today! THAT'S LIKE A HUGE ACCOMPLISHMENT!!
I'm finished.
I'm trying not to over use smileys, 'cause I do that SOOO much. Like every other sentence. I'm addicted! *sobsob*

Why Can't I Trust Anyone - No, Not Even Me?
Listening to: I Wanna Do It All by Terri Clark
What I Should Be Doing: Driver's Ed
I'm Also: Wishing I was hanging out/laughing with my friends, wondering why I think about TAI... so much, being thirsty, playing solitaire, writing crud that's pretty dang awful, and waiting for someone to talk to me on Yahoo! Messenger
Super Bowl tickets range from $4,000 to $8,000. I had no idea they cost that much. I wish my sister didn't have softball tryouts, 'cause the Packers are playing and that's my dad's favorite team. He says seeing us is better than football, but I still feel awful and angry at my mom.
Uhm. I want to buy Interventions and Lullabies by The Format and Like Vines by The Hush Sound and some CD by Cobra Starship. I need more money, especially since I'm planning on buying at least two tickets to the HONDA CIVIC TOUR.
I forgot to lend Manola my Powerspace CD and give her back The Higher's CD that she bought but I have.
My bangs are bothering me. I want a haircut.
My laptop's burning my leg right through my jeans.
Okay, another song lyric I wish I wrote:
"We may suffer together, but we all die alone."
I wish I was happy.
I'm lonely.
Funerals are awful, and so are the quiet car rides home. Especially when you're leaving family that you won't see again until someone else dies.
What's wrong with me?
Secondhand Serenade is my new favorite band. Except not. But they make up a good portion of my 'Calm Songs' playlist, and I've noticed that I've been listening to that more than anything else recently.

The Biggest Thing I've Ever Lost Was My Guitar
Listening to: On Again/Off Again by Riverboat Gamblers
What I Should Be Doing: Filling out my History QQS, rewriting my History timed writing, reading Macbeth for English, working on Chem review questions
I'm Also: Rating all my unrated music on iTunes [I'm OCD about that. xD]
I forgot to turn iTunes off shuffle, so I'm getting a-mazing songs like Unexpected Places by The Academy Is... and Be Aggressive by Powerspace. Not that the songs I haven't rated aren't amazing, 'cause they are. =) Mostly.
I love commas and semi-colons and apostrophes and I'm kind of a grammar freak. It's sad.
It always makes me happy to meet people that like Motion City Soundtrack, Powerspace, The Higher, This Providence, or The Format. I know very very few people that like them. I know one person that might like MCS, two people that like Powerspace 'cause I introduced them to The Kicks of Passion, and no one that likes The Higher, This Prov, or The Format. Even though I only know like nine songs by The Format.
My iTunes has to be sorted by artist, or I get annoyed. All the songs have to be rated. Every song has to have album art, whether that's something I threw together or the actual CD cover. Every song has to have an album and genre, even if that means I make them up. All my songs have to be properly capitalized. All my non-country songs have to be on my Other playlist, and all my non-other songs have to be on my country playlist. Simple Plan is the only exception, and they don't belong on any playlist, because I always skip their songs anyway. On-The-Go playlists can't exist.
There can't be more than four Internet Explorer windows open at one time, though I tend to have at least four tabs open in one. I hate even numbers, because there's no middle number. People must wash their hands before touching my laptop. Sticky things make me angry. My CDs and games must stay in their case, unless they're being used. I will never ever flush a CD to clean it, though I will use toothpaste to fix the scratches. My room can't be too warm. Juicyfruit is for blowing bubbles and snapping gum, and Stride is just for chewing. My CDs must be ordered chronologically by when I bought/received them. Spelling, punctuation, and grammar are important, even on the internet. My toenails can only get so long. I use earbuds to listen to music at school/on the airplane, but I use old clunky headphones that cover my ears at home. All of my headphones, USB cords, cameras, chargers, and Gameboys belong in the red basket on top of the unplugged stereo next to my bed. Sharpies belong in the mug with the pencils that have run out of lead. I only talk to Allie about family issues, and I don't know why. The flash is almost always off on my camera. My black school tie must be returned to the same pocket as my iPod when I take it off. I don't throw anything away, instead giving everything a specific place in my room and keeping it there. Peeling things must be taped over.
You'd think that I'd be like really organized. xD
I'm REALLY REALLY not. =)

SCHOOL SUCKS =)
Listening to: Histrionics by The Higher
What I Should Be Doing: Studying for my exams/sleeping
I'm Also: Talking to my buddy Allie, trying to remember what my old website was called, playing Solitaire, stalking my old Neofriends, and checking some of my REALLY old e-mail addresses
Music Reccomendation of the Day: Dare by The Higher
I wish I could remember everything.
And I mean everything.
I can't remember half my old e-mail addresses/Neopets usernames/websites. It's kind of sad.
Really don't want school tomorrow.
At least it's a review day and the schedule's shortened.
You know, those don't sound great put next to each other.
I really miss the summer I spent on Neopets, working with other Neopet users on screenshot projects and complaining about my sisters to them and Harry Potter roleplaying on the boards and promoting my friend's guild and learning HTML and how to make layouts.
Back before they got the sucky layout. I hate it.

Feet = Cold
Listening to: Insurance? by The Higher
What I Should Be Doing: Working on my write up for English/reading poems/sleeping. [I think this is the same as last night!]
I'm Also: Wishing I had socks on, reading Sorcery 101, uploading a video to YouTube, and checking Facebook.
I miss listening to my old music.
I also miss the way I felt last year. When I first got my laptop, there was this distinct feeling I associated with it, but it's completely gone now. The feeling, I mean. Not the laptop. xD I feel like I was a lot happier last year. I had less to worry about and more to be happy about. I dunno why I'm being so whiny/mopey this year when this was exactly what I was trying to avoid last year. : I spent all of freshman year trying to make myself less complainy.
Didn't work.
I discussed my 12 husbands with multiple people today. =) Always fun.
That's what helps that very long hour of fitness go by.
People take me too seriously. xD I wish they wouldn't. Save us all a lot of trouble.
I miss Allie. She's not online. =( She's always online by now. And I have lots of hatemail to show her. *proud grin*
Yes. I had something to say.
I've forgotten.
Vedanti brought us Jesus cookies today. :)

"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
