BARENAKED LADIES WERE AWESOME!!

Now I can die happily and peacefully. They all signed my book, and I got 3 of them to sign my t-shirt. :D



I really wish they could have played longer, but I'm happy with what I saw.



I can't find the words to say why, but this band and the songs they write mean so much to me.



I have all their songs (about 240) and I can always find one for the mood I'm in.



I wish I could've told them when I met them today at the cd/book signing, but I couldn't find any words.



They've helped me deal with things, like breakups, confusion, lonliness... the list goes on.



Maybe someday I'll write them a letter. Hopefully they'll read it.

I don't care what people think, I love them.

They don't have to try to be awesome, they just are.

Update on my life

Me thinks it's time for a new background for this blog. Something darker, but with the same text in the background. Maybe different font too. Hmmm.

It's so awesome how I can see who's reading my blog! Well, not who, but where, actually. People from Amsterdam, Canada, Argentina... Des Plains... O.o

Creeeeeeeeeepers!

Anyway, I got my SAIC schedule, and I know all the people who are in my classes! Now I just have to deal with AP tests, and finals (if I need to take them), then I'm home free! Or more like Chicago free, I can't wait to live in the city. Yes, it will be a golden age in my life, when my homework is going to be creating artwork. XD

And then there's a few fun things to do before I graduate, of course. Such as prom, Barenaked Ladies concert, my play being in the short play festival, my artwork and writing being in Sojourn, senior ditch day, graduation, grad night, and PARTIES!!

So yeah, life is pretty much awesome right now.

You write, I read your letters every night.
...All right, I skim them just to be polite.

I hope I like Fall Out Boy,
because Kelly just burned me
3 CDs! :D

The Pros and Cons of breathing. Pros: You live. Cons: What if you want to die?

Cut and Paste Lyrics (Barenaked Ladies)

I guess I should explain,
it was a gag, it was all for a laugh.
It'll lead to a little fight,
hope you don't mind.
I imagine you think I don't think of you.
You say you cannot live with me,
you need your own identity,
and now I'm kissing you by proxy.
Will I See You Again?
Everybody's youth is only what they make it.
Beauty disappears,
until they're just like us.

Points if you can identify which lines are from which songs.
(Seriously, I'll get you a special holiday gift!)

I have a confession to make...

Today I was working on my novel in my English class, when we were supposed to be writing our papers! XD

I worked on the paper, but then I decided that I had worked on it as much as I possibly could at that specific moment, so I worked on my novel. I didn't get too much done, but at least it was a good something.

Today was a great day, filled with lots of laughter. I said and did things that made me feel stupid, but I don't care! The important thing is that I laughed a lot, which is something I've really needed lately.

I have a new favorite song... "Intermittently" by Barenaked Ladies. I just love this one part where Steven Page just screams with so much anger, and it makes me wanna scream too, without caring what other people think.

I am coming out of my shell.

AHHHHHHHOHHHHHHHHHHHAHAHAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Tomorrow I'm going to scream in my car as loud as I can, when I'm driving to school. I don't care if anyone notices, I just need to SCREAM! Not because I'm sad, or stressed, or frusterated, or angry even... I don't know. The reason why still lies a mystery, which I will find out.)

P.S. I know I'm weird, you have a problem with that, bitch? *slap*

XP

I'm a walking ad-vert-is-ment, for everything I never meant.

Oh. My. God.

I just ate the most delicious caramel in the world!!

I swear, it was like an orgasm in my mouth.

Anyway, so my day was pretty good. I'm super psyched for NaNoWriMo... just 8 more days!! I haven't been doing too much planning on my novel, but I think that's okay. It's probably better to have a vague outline than a detailed plot summary, because it won't give you much room to add in weird new plot twists. I think one of the most fun parts of NaNoWriMo is coming up with plot summaries that don't make sense. For example: In my novel last year, I had these two men chasing my protagonist all over the world, but I had no idea why. So, in the end, I decided that it was because she had something very expensive, and the only exspensive thing I could come up with at the time was a diamond encrusted cell phone...

I really need to edit that part out and think of something new! That is, if i ever get around to editing it. It's no where near publisher worthy, especially since I expanded every single contraction in it to build up my word count. I'll get around to fixing that.

Speaking of procrastination, I found a cool quote today: "Procrastination is the art of keeping up with yesterday." -Don Marquis

Haha, so true.

I decided something today, I'm not going to keep trying to get better at things that are way too competitive, and I'm not really good at. I've tried out for a lot of theater productions at school, but I'm just not as good as some of the other people who always get in. I'm going to keep writing and doing artwork, because I keep neglecting top develop those skills, and I could probably be a lot better at them if I just tried more.

I love writing, I don't know why I didn't discover this sooner! It's weird how I don't talk much vocally, but on paper I can do all kinds of things with words.

I'm going to bed, before I come up with another clever way to get myself killed, or worse... expelled! But before I do, quizzes are fun. Here's a quiz I took:

You are a Serious Date

Your dating philosophy? "Dating is for finding a compatible partner" You're not so concerned with how you date... As much as where the relationship ends up. Guys to look for: Men who write a good bit about what they're looking for. Not only does it show that they are serious about dating as well - But that they've already put a good deal of thought in to it.

What Kind of Dating Diva Are You?
