Hey Hey, Yeah We're Almost Home

Bleh.

Sorry, I suck at this.

I'm just feeling sort of, tired of everything.

Robin's uncle is bipolar and he went crazy. At least I'm not schizophrenic.

You know, I find people like it when one tells them how one feels.

24 won't come in on either television. So now I'm just listening to it on the little black and white and trying to figure out what in the heck is going on.

Cross your fingers and wear your pajamas inside out, pray I get a snow day tomorrow...

I have Almost Here, I have Almost Here... Too tired to yelp about it now. But rest assured I did my share of yelping when I found it in the mail box. And more than anybody's share of gooney smiling in the hallway while listening today. Mmm. The Academy = Yum.

Crystal's emo pictures turned out fantazzz-magoric. Heh. I'll post tomorrow when Hello is up and running properly again.

Out.

Bored? Why Yes!

Saaave me from my Spanish homework!!! X
Current mood: Bored. And my contacts are dried out. I don't know if that counts as mood.
Current music: I have Maroon 5's She Will Be Loved stuck in my head. Don't make fun. I can like a couple cliche, mainstream songs if I want to. Hmpf.
Current taste: I was eating Goldfish? Baby Goldfish, even.
Current hair: Up in a blob on the top of my head, complete with two day old hair gel and a little hardened syrup from my cinnamon hotcakes in Princeton, West Virginia.
Current clothes: Jeans, blue/grey button-down, blue and red tie which is not nearly as drastic as Bethany's. ;) Oh, and my slippers with the lambs on them.
Current annoyance: Dry contacts, Spanish homework, school tomorrow, Delaware, aahh, shoot myself...
Current smell: Um, my nose is kinda stuffy.
Current thing I ought to be doing: Spanish homework! And the English essay which I am not going to do...
Current windows open: Windows Media Player and AOL: Blogger, FreeTranslation, Questionable Content, and my Yahoo! Mail.
Current desktop picture: Christian Lindskog looking freaking awesome at... Ace's Basement? Bogart's? Sorry...
Current favorite band: The Academy Is..., I'd have to say. (Good news! My order has been sent! ::rolls eyes:: Two weeks later?!)
Current book: A Name Of Her Own? I think... Some "inspirational" fiction thing, most of which suck but it seems decent thus far (page 8). Catch-22, some Anne Frank stuff, and my book from Gracia Burnham!!!
Current CD in stereo: Stereo Motion by my bed (I was sad), and I think the other one's empty, maybe AABF.
Current crush: Guys. I have to admit. I LOVE JACQUELINE'S BOYFRIEND KENNY! I can't pretend any longer! And I really, really hope you all realize instantly how sarcastic I am being!
Current favorite celeb: What? This is random... Julian.
Current hate: Delaware, this household, high school - BV in particular, that fact that I have no car or license.

Still love him/her?: No.
Read the newspaper?: If there's something interesting I want to read, but generally, no, I used to read it alot more than I do now.

Kurt Cobain's Suicide Note

I'd never seen this before. Lately I've been wanting to find out more about this guy. I'll definitely do it now. This really got me.

(Sorry I couldn't resize it.)

Well That's Okay, Yeah, That's Alright...

Not exactly. Today was fun and sad at the same time. (I'm in Virginia visiting Crystal.) I went to GNED with Bryan Nance today. That's right. GNED. Ex-lead singer of ex-rock and roll band Stereo Motion. It was bizarre, but very fun, indeed. =P But wait, it gets better. Or... weirder. After class we went to Goodwill to buy emo clothes (heehee, we are going to dress up in them tomorrow, go to the Drowsy Poet and write poetry), and while we were there we were trying on goofy sunglasses when... Ta-da! Bryan Nance! Yes, it's true. I was shopping at Goodwill with Bryan Nance... and he was wearing a sweatsuit!!! Mua-ha, it was black, and the kind with the elastic and they were bunched up above his brown striped girly shoes!! Hahahahahaha... we got a good laugh out of that. Anyhow, it was quite weird.

I basically didn't get to talk to anyone I wanted to today. Bryan, the guy with long blonde hair and eye make-up, the Math kid, the kid with long pretty hair, the kid in the pink-and-navy-blue striped shirt getting all into it (the Pax 217 show) up front, the fantastic dirty bum guys with long greasy hair and tattoos at IHOP, the guy with the pretty hair, pretty face and fur on his jacket.... My goodness. This makes me sad. I did get to meet Mr. Magic. =) And I miss Trev. We did manage to take some "candid" photographs of ourselves while at IHOP. In the end, it was a good day, because I am here with Crystal!

I Shall Refrain From Quoting Him Here

Angela Jeniece, you should go to bed. You have to get up in less than 6 hours. I wanted to listen to "Classifieds" before I went to bed. =) I accidentally loaded "Checkmarks" instead. No comments on that, you guys.

Guess who's going to Virginia to-mor-row mor-ning??? ME!!! And Bethany! I'm leaving after 2nd period, yay! We shall have lots of fun and break plenty of rules and get in fights with Crystal's room mates! Yay! I am looking forward to it. I am also looking forward to the fact that my dear sister already has in her possession the vociferously beautiful Almost Here, which I shall make audible employment of ALL WEEKEND LONG!

Wow, I really need to go to bed. I hope Crystal doesn't mind that I need to do a load of laundry when I get there. =D I'm an awesome sister.

I... I Don't Want Julian To Die!

"We've got one chance to break out and we need it now."

"Near death, last breath, and barely hanging on.... Don't be so scared. It's harder for me."

"And if I die in my sleep.... Will you be the first one to tell the neighborhood paperand all my family and friends that still care?"

"The smoking gun still sits in my pocket and I know how to use it."

"When I leave here I'm going alone."

"I'm going to ask you a series of questions and I want them answered on the spot, right now. Is it serious? I'm afraid it is. Am I gonna die? Well son, death is gonna catch up to all one day,But yours is coming quicker then ours, then ours."

"Hold your head high heavy heart. So take a chance and make it big, cause it’s the last you’ll ever get. If we don’t take it, when will we make it?"

For that matter, the entire "Phrase That Pays" song.

"The once ambitious one now holds the smoking gun."

I've more a mind for terminal illness than suicide, though. Maybe that's why he's so skinny! No!

But I Don't Want To See You Cryin'....

"Les enviamos Abrazos y Bendiciones para todos ahi!!"

Aww! At the end of the untranslated part of the email from Fernando Benitez (Joni y Noni's son!).

But now, it's time for several beautiful pictures of.... guess who? Julian! Duh.

I call it... Sexy Fenders And Worn-out Blue Jeans!
"Is that fake wear?"
"What? Oh, no, this is real wear."
"Ok good, because you know, some people cut them out..."
"Ah, no, that would be lame. You can't get wear this good like that, this is real. See, it's like..."


Happiness Is Julian In Motion
"Whoa-oh-oh did I mention?"
Remember when he grinned and pointed at me during "The Author" because I was one of like, 3 people singing along? Forgive me for how screaming girl-ish that sounds. But I was very proud of my knees for not buckling. I am glad I am not a knee, for I would not have done well in that situation. Thank you, knees.


Random Dude Drinking Ketchup
Eww!


"Welcome To Madame Tussaud's. Our first exhibit is of a little known American rock band that called themselves The Academy Is..."

Hey!

I have successfully tied up the phone line all day! First internet, then phone with Tess, then phone with Bethany, then internet again... Mua-ha-ha! Literally since I got home from school. So I have lived one whole day as your typical teenage girl, tying up the phone line every second she's home. I think that fills my quota in that department, eh? I can go back to being my usual scary self now.

My webcomic is so addicting though! I have gone through a bajillion today. Seriously. A bajillion. I counted. Plus I spent a little time laughing till my stomach hurt at the Teen Girl Squad page on HomeStarRunner.com, which you should all know about because it is awesome. They added a new one, for us frequent visitors, so GO CHECK IT OUT. I even linked you, so you have no excuse. It is quite funny, as they are known to be. But be careful, if you watch TGS too much, you might end up counting to purple. Backwards. "CHOMP."

Ok, now go to bed. Skillet's coming to town on Friday and XxcrossthosefingersxX (=P) that I don't get grounded so I can mosh to my heart's content to "Savior"! Oh. And "We Are" because Kids In The Way are opening for them!!! Although I don't think they're really mosh music. Oh well.

I'm going to bed, I swear....

Crusade For Bandiness

Today was one of those happy, quirky days. I mean, it was still a sucky day, but given that, I was in a decent mood. No reason why. That kid with the fantastic orange hair was on the bus today. That made me chipper. I patted him on the head, ruffling his hair a little. "Hey! It's Kid With Beautiful Hair!" He gave me a little bit of an odd look.

In studio I joined Jeremy's gang. I felt bad because I had turned him down the first time around, and he was losing members like bang, so when he asked me again, I joined. Plus, he is just flat-out cooler than Brandon. They had both been bribing John Wise, but when I went with Jeremy's gang/mafia, so did he. "I have to be in the same gang as Angela." haha... With John and me on one side? Jeremy's side? Pow! We shall slay them all!

Ok, this gives rise to a new discussion. The whole gang thing is supposed to be a joke, but I can see them actually getting a little tense about it. Brandon's gang was all generally enjoying insulting this Jeremy Ware, both to his face and behind his back. Get this: They're jumping all over his style! I couldn't believe it. He has fantastic style.

Examples:

• His awesome Christian Lindskog hair? "Yeah, he's got lesbian hair."
• He "stole" this one girl's jean jacket and was wearing it. He looked really bandy. "Oh my gosh. That fits you? It actually kind of matches. You look like a lesbian. If I saw you from behind I would definitely think you were a lesbian. Eww, that's messed up, take it off!"
• Brandon was trying to convince someone to join his gang and he said, looking right at this bandy kid, and he's getting a little serious, mind you: "Yeah, join our gang. We don't wear girls jeans." I was like, Ahh! That's the whole reason to join Jeremy's gang!

WOW, I was suprised at how un-cool they truly are. I mean, I knew they weren't cool, but I didn't think it was this bad. I always thought they appreciated Jeremy's rad style. I guess I was wrong.

And, although I felt bad for the bandy kid, I did gleen some vicious delight from this: Emma KVD was right in there with them, going on not-so-jokingly about him looking like a lesbian with the jacket and having bad hair. HA! Cold, hard evidence! She's an even BIGGER poseur than I thought! So I was happy to see her revert to her true side. Because that kid has the best style in our school, and he almost always looks flat-out awesome.

Hmpfh. Bandy kids should have equal rights, too. Support your local boy (or girl) with a lip ring.

I Am Teh Geek

I do not want to be Teh Geek. Teh Geek is supposed to be reserved for nerdy boys who are into role-playing games. I repeat: I do not want to be Teh Geek. It just sort of happened.

But... how did this happen? It's like I blinked, or looked away for a second, and when I looked back, suddenly it's-- Hello, Teh Geek! I do not relish this new position.

But there you have it. Sadly, sadly, I am have become, Teh Geek.

I Thought This Was Pretty Funny, Too

"It has come to my attention that Sam Logan has called me out to start a webcomic rivalry! Now that we are HELLA RIVALS I can confide in you, my trusty readers, that Mr. Logan is a fraud, a coward, and a villain most nefarious. He forces innocent orphaned children to draw his comic strip for him, in return for nothing but beatings and spite! He thought napalm was a pretty good idea! He glares at babies until they cry!"

"Tina, You Fat Lard..."

Everyone should go check out the Napoleon Dynamite Soundboard. It is way too much fun even if you have not seen the movie yet. (Which you should.) If it doesn't work, refresh and try again. I recommend "Tina! Come get some ham!" and "I wish you'd get out of my life and SHUT UP!" for starters.

Well, what are you waiting for? Why are you still here? Go, go, go!

I Look So Gothic Tonight AND I Am HOTT. That's right, with TWO Ts!

Bethany says, "Howdy!" and "Toodles!"

Yep, that's right! Bethany's here and we are a fun people! Hahaha... you can tell who has been out too late!

I watched The Grudge at Jake Van Gundy's house, which was a bad idea because I am bad at horror movies. It would be okay if I was watching it with a short guy. I mean, average height. It's really okay to be short, though. Really. I... I have alot of short friends. Bethany says (shaking her head sadly), "Some of us will never see 5'1"."

Bethany picked me up, and I ran out to the car because I was scared to be outside in the dark by myself, and in my hurry to get the car door open, I slipped on the ice and fell all the way down on the ground so that I was laying on my side and laughing and screaming, "Get me in the car!" So when I got in, she was sitting there all normal-like, not knowing I had just seen said scary movie, and she's just sitting there happy going, "Hi-i!" And I start yelling, "GO, GO, GO!" And she going, "What??" And I'm saying (really quickly, by the way), "We watched a scary movie and now I'm really scared and I don't want to be sitting here in a car in the dark that's not moving because IT'S GONNA GET ME!!!!!!!!" And she's going, "What? What? What?" And I'm still yelling, "GO, GO, GO! Just DRIVE, drive, drive, GO! I'll tell you in a SECOND!!!" -whew- So, I explained, and caught my breath, and we drove to Steak N Shake.

No Trev. *tear* We were a bit sad. The kid who always looks like he has a black eye was there, and this other ugly new girl that I've never seen before but Bethany knows, so let's hope he didn't move to Cinncinatti without telling us because he promised he wouldn't. Move without telling us, that is. Jee ("Gee, thanks!") was our waitress, and I had french fries. Bethany had the turkey club sandwich like she always does. "Because grilled cheese sounds good, but I couldn't have it. Not today," she says. "Because I'm on a diet because I'm fat." <--- She really did say that. But I don't think she meant it. Then, The Fake Trev had to check me out because I wanted to use the $.83 left on my gift card, and Kim didn't know how to work it. She says we don't want to work there (at Steak N Shake) because it will ruin our lives. Somehow I think Trev would agree with her.

Then, upon getting back into the car, I was too afraid to reach into the backseat to grab my seatbelt, and Bethany refused to move the car until I put my seatbelt on. Again, I was scared of sitting in a non-moving car in the dark, and she was laughing at me. I was trying to explain about the scary Japanese girl and why I didn't want to reach into the dark backseat or sit in a non-moving car, and I was getting really nervous and on-edge thinking about it, you know how you work yourself up, when she looks out her window and sees this scary-skull decal on the door of the car parked next to us. Now, it's right at eye-level with us sitting in her car. She SCREAMS. I see the skull, get scared because I was already scared, and when she screamed it made ME scream, cause you hafta remember I was already this close to screaming, anyway. And I had been threatening to get out of the car if she didn't start it moving RIGHT NOW, so that was just the last straw. So I'm screaming and laughing and leaping out of the car (Bethany says I wasn't laughing) and yelling, "THAT'S NOT FUNNY! THAT'S NOT FUNNY!" (These people walking in the restaurant gave me weird looks.) It took a couple of minutes for her to convince me to get back in the car, and when she still wouldn't go I really did try to get my seatbelt. But in trying to do it fast, I was tugging it so hard it made the little "car wreck lock" set in and I couldn't get it to un-roll no matter how many times I tried. "I can't get it!" I screeched. So Bethany was trying to get it for me, and she was holding it out, around the back of the seat, but all I could see was her skinny little detached hand illuminated red from the lights on her subs and it reminded me so much of the boogeygirl's hand from the movie that I kept squealing and couldn't take it from her.

Well, finally I got my seatbelt on and we pulled out. I tried to catch my breath (again) and whined about being afraid to sit in her car with the dark, empty (or is it?) backseat lurking behind me. Then we turned on Falling Up and I sang along hard and tried to forget about the boogeygirl.

I was pretty successful too, until we got home and I had to run up to the front door in the dark. Luckily it was unlocked. Whew. Then Bethany showed me some stuff on MySpace and told Mike The Seinfeld Guy she loved him and asked him to marry her. I cleared that up straight away. Then she got a kick out of watching my type this and talk to my internet dorks. Then she realized it was 2:30 am. She tried to leave; I realized that meant I'd have to sit alone in this house being freaked out by every little noise. I begged her to stay. I succeeded in making her stay and extra hour. She kept trying to sneak out the door. Finally I let her go, but only after I made her go 'round the house and turn on all the lights in each room and check in the hiding spaces. My room was thoroughly combed. Then she hugged me twice and prayed for me and left.

THEN I kept Mike The Seinfeld Guy up a succesful hour and 15 minutes later than when he first discovered he was tired and an even more succesful 45 minutes keeping him up after he wanted to go to bed. Somehow he didn't seem to mind. I am the witch, you know.

Well now it is 6:41 AM and I want to know WHY ISN'T IT GETTING LIGHT OUT YET?!?! Hopefully it will soon. I am tired of being scared. It's been three hours and 15 minutes, you know.

Well, I will close this huge long post out now. If you actually read this whole thing, I congratulate you. Maybe I will even send you a Hershey bar as a prize.

You know, sometimes ska can be fun.

Think happy thoughts! Think happy thoughts! Think happy thoughts!

Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!!!!!

Crystal 40% Chris 16%

Ok, I love you anyway. Thanks guys!

A Bit Of A Random Post Tonight

Love is like another life given to you. When it starts, you feel like you've been born again, and when it ends you feel like you're dying. Ok, maybe just another life given to your emotions.

I saw a version of that quote somewhere (of course, I improved it) and found it slightly interesting. Thought I'd post it.

This is the greatest line: "We won't forget Tony and Johnny, oh oh!" heehee "No matter how the miss us they still wish us the best on the road. Garrett took a plane to Paris, France, now he's cooking up entrees for the pretty, pretty French girls."

I have written down the words in Catch-22 that I didn't know, looked them up quickly with the help of my friend, and here are some of the ones that I found interesting so far.

saturnine- Having the temperament of one born under the supposed astrological influence of Saturn (which I thought sounded pretty cool) a.k.a. sullen, depressed, melancholy, bitter.
unctuous- characterized by insincere earnestness (this is fun)
paroxysm- a sudden outburst of emotion or action, a fit or spasm
avuncular- Get this-- of or having to do with an uncle. That's the real definition! Isn't that great?
And one more for the road...
aplomb- confidence, self-confident assurance, that sort of thing

There. You've had your vocabulary lesson for the day.

I'd tell you what I did today, but I just emailed Crystal and don't feel like typing it all over again. So... COPY.......PASTE......Ta-da! Here you go!

For a quick list of things I've been meaning to tell you, before I forget:

1. Harvey and Ariel broke up.
2. "Last Call" is perfect for doing The Dance. We'll do it at the show.
3. Mom says- "Send the license paper back here with the money and we'll send it in."
4. I realized today that most -if not all- skater boys are loud and annoying. In spite of their good style, they're usually obnoxious.

I know, I haven't written you in awhile. But I can't really think of anything to say. I don't know. I'm really tired. I finished my book Lucas just a bit ago, and it was rEally good. The one with the kid on the cover with his really blue, intense eye staring at you? It made me want to be British (the whole thing takes place on this island in the south of England). I'm working along in Catch-22, page 82 out of 455. I know that sounds pathetic, but I'm feeling good. It's a nice book so far. I have never quite been able to grasp the meaning of the phrase "Catch-22," so I figured I'd better read the book. And if I still don't get when I've gone through all that, well, I guess it's just hopeless. Kind of like me and euchre. At least it's a good book. Odd, but good. If I've already told you all this before, I apologize. I listened to "Down And Out" again, and I can hardly wait until the whole album comes out. Are you enjoying your Anberlin cd? I was sad yesterday when Mom yelled at me for being on the phone with you for 10 minutes, and then she took the phone and talked for 25. Oh well. You just go on. I'm really bored here. I don't have anything to do except read, homework, check email and such, watch Seinfeld. It all gets a bit routine. Hopefully I will be going to get my permit on Monday. It's Wednesday. I don't know what I'm going to do when after I send you this. Mom and Julie are at church and it's very quiet. Maybe I'll go try and catch up on my webcomic. A few days ago I went through about 20 of them, and still loads more to go. It's fun. I drank some black coffee in a just-over-half-full glass today. It was sort of weird.

Well, I think I'm out. Of things to say. Talk to you soon, and you stay out of Mr. Magic's way.
