Storyboards Stinks

Listening to: the rain and my step-sister's cousin talking to my step-mom in the room above me
What I Should Be Doing: Packing to go home

This weekend's been crazy. Felt longer and shorter than it's been... Nothing's really happened recently, so, to tell you the truth, I don't know what to write here. I'm tired, since Anthony and I stayed up till like 3:30 AM last night and I woke up at 10. It's enough sleep, but it didn't feel long enough. xD [He woke up at 7. Seriously. And he says he went to bed more towards 4.] Anyway. I'm heading to the airport in like... twenty minutes but I don't wanna go. I don't wanna get on an airplane and do all my stupid homework and then get home and do more homework and then stay up too late and then go to bed and wake up and go to school.

I really need to brainstorm/storyboard for my visual essay for Digital Video. I'm thinking about doing somebody setting the table for dinner and pouring drinks and stuff. I'm not sure though. I need to think about it.

Okay, yeah, it's now like 2:52 PM and I wrote the above stuff at like 11:50 AM. Anyway. I'm on the plane at the moment and while I don't have internet, I forgot to publish the post, 'cause Anthony came into my room to talk to me and yeah. :P So I still have this open. Yeah. Um. Not much else to say 'cept I feel like I have a ton of homework but I don't at the same time. =D

See you laaater.

My backpack weighs like 80 pounds. *dull look*

I'm LAZY. Times like A MILLION.

Listening to: Hey Brittany by Forever the Sickest Kids
What I Should Be Doing: Latin Homeworkkk.

My headphones broke. Like, the right ear bud's cover came off, and it's just the inside. Sucks, man. =(

Yeah, I'm at school right now. xD I should do Latin, but I'm LAZY. And he doesn't really care anyway, or he didn't use to, and we're having a party anyway. I brought pretzels. *beam*

My Psychostick CD makes my LIFE. xP Yeah.

Have to brainstorm for a visual essay for Dig. Vid, but oh well.

Saryn Cried Because of the Plastic Lemons

Listening to: Say This Sooner by The Almost
What I Should Be Doing: My Self-Evaluation for Digital Video

This song is my brother's ring tone. x) Whenever his phone rings, I go "ILOVETHATSONG,HUNTER!" and he just looks at me funny. =)

School's boring and awful and I wish it was the weekend or next Tuesday or at least Friday. Fortunately, it's almost Thursday, which means the week's just about over. :D

Okay, like two years ago, while I was just really getting into music, I was obsessed with country music. It was ALL I listened to. Toby Keith, Tim McGraw, Brooks and Dunn, Kenny Chesney, Pat Green, Rascal Flatts, Sugarland, George Straight, and Jimmy Buffett. Yup. And then around Christmas, I started reading band fanfiction and from a few Simple Plan stories, I checked out random videos of them. Not their music, but just random stuff like this or this. And then I started listening to the music and I was like "ILOVETHISSOMUCH." And eventually, I started listening to other bands... I started listening to MCR, because my sister told me they were playing in our city and I was like "I only like one song by them and they swear." And yeah, I went home, looked up their music and basically fell in love with 'em. I ended up going to that concert. xD Awesome, man. CRAZY AWESOME. Anyway. I never listen to country or Simple Plan anymore, and I definitely don't listen to My Chemical Romance as much as I used to.

Wow! I just wasted a bunch of time! *parties*

Uh. I have to go pick up my Psychostick CD tomorrow. And pick my friend's CD up for her. =) All Time Low, man. I'm so lazy though... I don't wanna walk down there. :D It takes like 30 minutes to go and get back, but still...

I wish it was next Tuesday.

I should go do homework. =) ADIOS!

I Know Who Pete Wentz Is. *beam*

Listening to: Dear Maria by All Time Low
What I Should Be Doing: Homework. x(

Okay. Today was bad and good at the same time. I forgot to bring my camera to Digital Video this morning, which was okay, since we didn't need to film anything else, but I had to move a ton of stuff, which was really boring. And then in English class, I realized I didn't know any of the stuff that we were s'posed to look over. 'Cause I didn't. 'Cause I wasted time instead. Anyway. My next like three classes were boring, including free period. Lunch was good but my stomach hurt afterward. And then chemistry was boring. But history was better, 'cause I didn't do anything but look over my test and goof off with my friend. xD Then I had to go retake a chemistry test. [I got an 85 on the first one, but I felt like I coulda done better.] I think I did better the first time. But oh well. xP

Uh. Yeah. I had to borrow my friend's cell phone 'cause I forgot mine at home [because I dropped it in the dogs' water bowl yesterday and had to air it out]. Turns out my mom's already at school so I open my locker to grab my books to go home and there's this envelope with my parents' names on it. I took it and gave it to my mom right then... And it turns out I have detention. Because my parents get me to school late. Like, I'm ready at 7:20 and they don't leave until 7:40 and I get to my first class at 8:01. *dull look* 2 minutes late 2 days in one week and they give you detention. At 7 AM. I'm not even usually awake then.

So. I have a TON of homework to do, especially for history since I blew that class off today.

Yeah.

MIKE, GET A HAIRCUT!

Listening to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c10hyBKqpo4
What I Should Be Doing: SLEEPING.

Uh. I have problems. I've been watching TAI videos for like forever. Seriously, it's been like three hours. The Butcher is my hero. Anyway, I get to see them live in like two weeks. Should be amazingly awesome. I hope. Maybe. I love them and I've already seen 'em live twice when they opened for other bands, but now that they're headlining, I'm hoping it'll be even better.

Anyway. We had a ton of homework but like none of it is due tomorrow. So I left off almost all of it, which was STUPID. But oh well. I have an AP World History test tomorrow. I said there was gonna be one like last week, but I lied. xD [The teacher moved the test.]

I dunno. There's all kind of stupid stuff happening with my friends and my parents and my sisters right now, so today kinda stunk. But yesterday was awesome. xD I dressed up like an "emo" and M.E. and I scootered down to the music store. We scared people on the street and ordered some CDs and scared the guy [I think] and then we went to Smoothie King and they had better stickers than the music store... And then we went to McDonald's 'cause I didn't want a smoothie [I tasted M.E.'s and it was GROSS.] and I got a McFlurry and then we went home. =)

I have to go pick up both our CDs next Thursday and order one for my friend, who's going to the concert with me next week. We're gonna walk down to the music store before the concert.

By the way. Mike Carden now reminds me of a kid in my Latin class and egg ho's. Don't ask. xD

I'm in love with Santi at the moment.

Explanation about Powerspaaace Concert

Listening to: Beer by Reel Big Fish
What I Should Be Doing: SLEEEPING!

I just realized I didn't rant about the concert to the point of explaining what happened. I almost went to Powerspace because it turned out to be on the Sunday I get back from my dad's, but my mom thinks we'll get raped or mugged or killed or something. My step-dad said I could go though. xD Too bad I still don't know if it's an all ages event. =(

I seriously doubt my mom would lemme go anyway, even though Steve said I could.

I'm seriously going to bed now.

... Bob the Butler is Like My Favorite Movie Ever.

Listening to: Those Days You Felt Alive by Spitalfield
What I Should Be Doing: Sleeping

Yeah, school still kind of stinks. I can't wait till Friday... Last week felt like FOREVER and the weekend went by WAY too quickly. =( And we almost had like four tests this week. [Tuesday - Latin and Chemistry; Thursday - AP World History; Friday - English] It's only the fourth week of school... I guess it's not that bad, but it still seems like a lot. Especially since we started reading Beowulf like over the weekend and we're having a test over it this Friday. We didn't read the whole thing, but we read a ton of it in like three days. That scares me.

Latin just sucks. A lot. Unreasonable grading, awful tests, stupid assignments, etc.

According to my friend, I'm very opinionated. I knew that and I didn't. xD I didn't realize it showed so much... Well, I guess it can't be that bad since I've got friends. =P That just kind of surprised me.

Uh. I can't wait till this weekend. I feel like I have plans for some reason, but I can't remember them... 3 PM on Friday can't come soon enough. This week's taking a long time.

We're filming in my digital video class. I like the class so far, but I really haven't learned anything except the technical names for everything. Like 'extreme wide shot' and 'medium close shot' and 'roll tape' and 'gaffer.' I'd like to learn about composition and lighting and the equipment and how to do like everything. xD But it's still good. I have fun. =)

I really want Psychostick's CD... Beer and ABCDeath both MAKEMYLIFE. ILOVETHEM. And I really like a lot of the other songs tooo... xD I wonder if I can order that... =)

Yeah. I got a $50 iTunes gift card yesterday [I begged my parents to go to the store and buy me one with my own money and it finally happened] and spent it REALLY fast. I love my music. xP I actually want like 7 more songs now, too. xP That's sad... Ah well. Christmas's coming up. Okay, not really.

Christmas and Thanksgiving break will be SOOOO nice.

Okay, I'm gonna go to bed, I think. xD

I really like the song from the 'ska dancing' video. *happy*

Ecce Romani!

Listening to: Point of Extinction by Motion City Soundtrack

I haven't posted on this in like years. xD It's mostly because of school and not being online much this weekend. That's because of watching two and a half movies with my sister and babysitter with a ton of junk food while my parents were gone this weekend. =P Anyways.

I have two tests tomorrow. Chemistry and Latin. I'm kinda worried about both. I think I'll do okay on Chem, but I know Latin's gonna SUCK since the teacher doesn't teach us. -.-

I got the new Motion City Soundtrack CD today. Even If It Kills Me is pretty awesome. xD It technically comes out tomorrow, but the CD store had it today at 4, so I bought it. I like it a lot. =)

And I can't see Powerspace, which REALLY stinks. I almost went, but my mom thinks there will be "bad people" at the bar where they're playing, so... Wah. Not fun. x(

Yeah, I'm too lazy and don't have enough time at the moment to write anymore so I'm leaving. Back to reading Beowulf. =P

YOU LOOKA LAKA MAN FROM CIWWAF!

Listening to: Stand Down by Echoing August

I'm currently writing a review for American Graffiti, which, by the way, we had to go to like four movie stores to find. It took us like thirty minutes. Which stinks. xD Either all the copies were out or there was only a tape, and our VCR died a few years ago. =) It's a pretty good movie, though really confusing, and I still don't know some of the character's names. I watched it with my mom, who hadn't seen it, and she missed a few scenes and it was almost impossible to explain them to her since so much happens so quickly. :P I liked it though. Now if I can finish up this movie review...

School's boring. And icky. And I hate clubs. But the french teacher looks like this guy from Cute Is What We Aim For. So that makes me happy. And I know a kid named Jesus, which TOTALLY makes my life. Though he seems kinda annoying. Oh well.

I can't wait for the new Motion City Soundtrack CD to come outtt. I really wanna buy it. I should probably find out the name, 'cause I've forgotten, and check to see which day it comes out. [I've heard the 15th and the 18th.] I like the few songs I've heard... I can't wait to check it out though. Wish they were coming to my city, not just the one an hour away.

Which reminds me. I was gonna go to a Powerspace concert on a Friday night, and I was really excited about it, but it turns out I'm going to my dad's that day so I can't go... I'm really upset that I can't go, 'cause it'd be really neat to see them live before they get too big. *sigh* Ah well... Hopefully I'll have another opportunity. =(

Yeah. I'm gonna go since it's like almost midnight and I'm not done with homework and I totally should be. Ah well. Tomorrow's gonna suck, but I'm SO glad it'll be Friday. *dances* SOOOOO glad. I've been waiting for Friday all week.

The Razor Blades and Candy Tour, Featuring Six Minutes to Monday!

Listening to Embrace the Flatline by Until Wings Fail

I tried to 'ska dance' today. I'm awful at it. It's fun though. xD I was trying to dance like this guy... http://youtube.com/watch?v=b5PIeeQmRCU It's also calling skanking, I guess? It's hard to do. :) My shoe flew off at one point and almost beheaded my friend, too... xD I bet it's easier to do when there's music playing...

Anyway. I need to go to Blockbuster and rent American Graffiti for my Digital Video class. Steve's going to take me later today. I should really be doing my English homework, 'cause we have a socratic seminar tomorrow and I haven't done the opening or closing questions... Ah well. I'm listening to music and reading comics instead.

Earlier, I watched some old video about how the 'Ska Brothers' cheated on YouTube. I'd never heard of them before, so I checked out their website, and they're really annoying/full of themselves. At least, they seem that way. I read their 'Background' and it makes me want to hit them, even if it's supposed to be funny. [And it's not funny, by the way.]

Isn't Confucius's Mom an amazing band name? Today, my friends and I planned a fake tour for our four amazing fake bands. Yeah, I love AP World History.

I'm excited about The Academy Is... concert, but there's some others I wanna go to also. Fall Out Boy, Motion City Soundtrack, Powerspace... I have to convince my parents and my friends' parents about FOB and MCS, since they're kind of in a different city on school nights... But all I need to do for Powerspace is find a friend to go with me. xD

A screamo version of Bingo would TOTALLY make my life.

The Poor Groom's Bride Is A RYAN!

Listening to: Is There No Truth in Beauty? by Just Surrender

I have yet to find a blog just rambling about life. Every blog I see has a purpose. What's the fun in that? =P I actually like to read about other people's lives... Ah well.

I bought the self-titled album from This Providence today. I'm glad I did. I like it a lot... I've only listened to it through once so I don't really have favorites right now, but I especially like My Beautiful Rescue and A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing. I adore Card House Dreamer, but I had the song before I decided I wanted the CD, so I'm not counting it. :) I would really like to see This Providence live sometime... Tour, please! You, too, Powerspace and The Used and Motion City Soundtrack!

Anyway. Hunter and I made like a bazillion awesome sped up lip synching videos tonight. It was fun. Technically, this is Saturday, so it was yesterday, but I really don't care that much. =D Then we went upstairs and I sang [a.k.a. screamed songs I knew] for my parents. My throat officially hurts. There's only so many times that you can scream-sing I Write Sins Not Tragedies at the top of your lungs before you feel like passing out. I have to say though, screamo Bingo's WAAAY harder.

Today in Digital Video, I showed the footage I got for my partner's 30 second introduction video in class, and when your footage's projected on this huge screen, you tend to think it's like awful. At least I do. Same deal when I had to show my photographs on the projector for a class I took through some random college in 8th grade. Anyway. My partner was basically rocking out in her car and dancing and lip synching. There's more, but it's kinda complicated. For my vid, a bird poops on my shoulder and then I slip and roll down a hill by accident. :D Yup.

I'm writing way too much, so I'm gonna shut up now. =)

McDonalds Gets Old Fast

Listening to: Slow Down by The Academy Is...

I know I should be excited for the The Academy Is... concert, which is in almost exactly a month, especially since I've been listening to a lot of TAI's music recently, but instead, I'm in an awful mood, 'cause I really want to go see Fall Out Boy again, but the closest concert to us is an hour away and on a Tuesday. Which is not cool. At all. Especially since my parents would let me go if I wouldn't miss school. So I've been trying to convince them that missing like two days really isn't that big a deal, but they don't listen to me very much at all. So I'm really not happy right now. I know that sounds selfish, but they won't even give me a good reason besides "you can't miss school" and then they don't even tell me why I can't miss school. Ugh. And then my mom threatened to not let me go to the TAI concert, so I'm in a really bad mood now.

Happy Labor Day.

We went to my grandparents' lake house this weekend and went tubing. My hand kept rubbing against the handles and I have like four places where I've rubbed the top few layers of my skin off. Well, kind of. xP It hurts pretty badly. I'm supposed to keep it moist and keep bandaids on it, but I'm in too bad a mood to care at the moment.

Yeah. I still have to finish a book for English tonight, so I should probably get off the computer and read, but I reaaaaaaaaaally don't want to. I also need to do like two more problems for Chemistry... I need to staple stuff into my AP World History spiral too, but I don't want to go get the stapler again. Homework's the main reason I haven't posted anything here in like a week. That and just stress. I've had a pretty awful first week.

I need to go pick up/buy This Providence by This Providence from the CD store, 'cause it came in on Thursday. I just haven't had time. I was going to go today, but I wasn't sure it would be open. I hope I have time tomorrow.

I really don't think this year's gonna be fun at ALL. It's started out badly and it just keeps getting worse. *throws sarcastic confetti*

Sorry. I'm in a reaaaally bad mood right now. I haven't said that yet, have I? I'm sure you didn't notice. =P

I think I had something else to say here. Well, I've forgotten it, my feet are cold, and my hands hurt. Oh. I have to bring my camera tomorrow for Digital Video and shoot some scenes for our first project, which REALLY stinks. I don't want to do it at all. I'm like dreading it. I'm afraid I'll mess up or do something wrong or something stupid. Well, it's not like she really taught us how to do anything.
