My name is Angela Sparks.

I own a pair of hot pink fishnets.
I want to buy rainbow high-top Chucks.

Feel free to comment and yell at me for being so self-centered.

I cringe as I type in his name. I hate doing this. (I think.) But I do it anyway. The 28th. Oh. Is this the off-month or the on-month? I think back to March 28th but I can't remember. My days slide and sludge together ("the days blend together and the weather never changes") so that I can't tell one from another anymore--an endless strip of early mornings, naps, algebra homework, is Adam wearing pink today? i saw the Harvey's in the hallway i'll let you help me move the couch late-night internet rendezvous pretzels and peanut butter m+ms parental fights i'm not speaking to you high school drama rolling eyes walks up the driveway dirty sheets why weren't you at church? lying i'm busy leave me alone i need you fake art pitter-pattering hearts with shifting glancing eyes rearrange us rearrange us rearrange us ?

Ripping Actually Takes Longer Than Burning

So I got back from work a couple hours ago and stood around deciding whether I should take a shower now or tomorrow morning. I got on the internet while I was debating and here I am, roughly 2 1/2 hours later, still sitting in front of the computer, beginning to look a little greasy and definitely smelling like a giant moth ball. Lovely mind picture, isn't it?

Today she had me clean off the kitchen cupboards (Murphy's Oil Soap- hurray!) which took over two hours. She has alot of cupboards. But it was a nice break from the usual monotony of vacuuming for five hours straight. It was a nice break for about the first hour, anyway. Then it got really boring. At least Murphy's Oil Soap smells better than that awful central-cleaning-system hose does.

Another good thing about cupboards over vacuum was that we listened to music for most of the afternoon. Barry Manilow, Elvis, and some awful country chick at the end. Even the Elvis got a little slow after awhile. Still, it was better than nothing, and it gave me something to think about. (I usually really run out of things to think about around 2.) Mostly just "Wow, she's stupid." and "What is it with people and romance?" but still. It's better than, "I think I might commit suicide just so I can get out of this house. I wonder if you could make a noose out of this hose.... Should I strangle me or her? ::gags on mothball smell::" So yeah.

Well, I did admit it. With this hair, I am now, just, cute. ::hurls:: Definitely wasn't my intention. Oh well. I do have shorter hair than some of the guys at school now. That is fun. It makes me want to date them just to hear people say, "You know something's not right when his hair's longer than his girlfriend's." Oh, the conservative folk. ::grin::

Note to Chris (who does have stuff to say, if not very frequently): Look who's burning you CDs right now! *pokepoke* See, I told you I'd do it eventually. :D I have discovered what a terribly speedy process it really is. That means you should burn mine, too. This also means that you should check the comments on my Michael Jackson post. (Disregard Susen's because she can't disagree with you, it would cause purple slime to come out of her right ear unceasingly for the next three years. Either that or she's just MADLY IN LOVE WITH YOU! So her's doesn't count. =P)

Okay, what else to blog.....
.......................................
.......................................................................
........................................................................................
I swear, I always think of stuff to post, but then when I get here everything leaves my brain, and you end up reading (or not reading, you choose) boring rambles about me cleaning someone else's kitchen with Murphy's Oil Soap. Hello Angela, not interesting! Boring. While I'm on the subject, check out me and Bethany's philosophy on boring:

hangonrookie: why is boring so boring?
Closer To Regret: Because it's boring.

Great. My life is............... //

I'll come back if I think of something. That is, if my brain ever starts working again.

HYSTERICAL When You're Slap-Happy

Me And Chris Fight About Michael Jackson. Again.

=D

cybergum13: I just read your comment.
cybergum13: "My opinion of you is sliding south, Chris. First Michael Jackson, now this... ::shakes head::"
Closer To Regret: ^_^
Closer To Regret: That's right.
cybergum13: How you can -possibly- use Michael Jackson and Blindside in the same comment, I don't know.
cybergum13: You should be taken out and beaten with a tire iron and tossed into a nearby body of water.
Closer To Regret: =-O That's so morbid!!! Christopher!
cybergum13: Sadly I can't take credit for it. I stole that from a show I watched earlier.
cybergum13: She was actually talking about people who steal dogs and then only return them if there's a reward offered.
cybergum13: But I really liked the expression.
Closer To Regret: ^_^ I guess so.
Closer To Regret: Anyway, I can VERY possibly use them in the same comment because they both have great, fantastic music (if drastically different styles) and gigantic mobs of fans.
cybergum13: .....
Closer To Regret: (Although I think MJ wins out on that last one.)
cybergum13: ...I feel sick....
cybergum13: I got the image of Michael Jackson and Blindside on the same stage, and...
cybergum13: Oh, man...that's too horrible for words...
Closer To Regret: You make me sick for refusing to admit his goodness.
Closer To Regret: That'd be quite an image.
Closer To Regret: I don't think it's that bad.
cybergum13: This is why I never admit to knowing you.
cybergum13: I mean....
cybergum13: Uhm...

Who's side are you on?

We've Corrupted Her :)

Too funny.

hangonrookie: o my our conversation gets even better
Closer To Regret: haha, What?

Paris Hilton Got All Fat

hahahahahahaha...



Okay well actually she's not fat at all, she just got normal. But she was practically wasting away before, so not that she's actually there it's like, "Whoa!" She looks all fat.

hahahahaha

I Have A Packet Of Taco Bell Hot Sauce In My Pocket.

A Packet In My Pocket. Okay, so I suck because I never update this thing.

Last night me and Bethany went to see The Fold and Dan The Poophead had no idea who we were. We still had alot of fun though, discovered a new band (Chasing Victory) and the existence of man who looks like Christian Lindskog. !!! I spent a grand total of 61 dollars and some 30-odd cents just last night. 34 of which was on music alone. Look:

$8- to get in
$25- Fold hoodie (I got the last one ever of the super-indie-hoodieeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!! whee!!!!!!)
$20- Fold CDs
$6- Chasing Victory EP
$2.s0methings0mething- Jr. Chicken Strips at Steak N Shake where the fat, ugly girl who doesn't like me was our waitress

I think The Fold overcharged me on those CDs. There's no way that coulda been 20 bucks. But after I thought about it at work today, I decided it was okay, because they didn't do it on purpose and they need the money more than I do. (Gas is expensive.) So I don't mind.

It was a night to fall in love with the drummers, to be sure. First band (superlocal) = couldn't see him. The Fold = got a lip ring; grew his hair out; reminds me of someone but I can't tell who yet; is very nice. House Of Heros = is very skinny, gorgeous, and European-looking; specifically, looks like Mr. Blindside 1 with his summer hair; has beautiful tattoos in places I can't tell you. Chasing Victory = wants to pray with people after the show; drums barefoot; has an adorable and soft Georgia accent; has funky blonde-ish hair.

Trev was at Steak N Shake. =)







Generation X, generation vexed!

I love how I always seem to do this with people. We go 'round and 'round trying to figure out why on Earth the other person likes to talk with us. Haha.

I really, really, really wish that I didn't want you.

(Susen is not allowed to comment on that last bit because it is not what she is thinking.)

Today...

...I braided the sides of my hair and pulled the rest back as well, it looked nice I must say, in a Swedish kind of way. It was the first time I've put my hair up (other than a ponytail or "nubbins" =P) in like three years.

...Two white trash kids were gettin' it on in one of the hall nooks. I saw them on my way to English. I also saw a lump at the back of his neck where her tongue was pushing the skin out! Okay, maybe I didn't see that. But close enough. It was not a pleasant afternoon experience. They made me want to cut my tongue out. I don't understand people who have no sense of decency. A quick peck? Okay. NOBODY wants to see anything else.

...I took John Wise to the back corner of the library and showed him a photo from the 60s of a young woman in simple clothes with beautiful long legs. He took me out behind the school and showed me his massive-temp-SUV, supposedly the kind of car that discriminatory people drive. It was sunny and we looked artsy and it's fun doing things you're not supposed to.

...I agreed to go to this senior high girls Bible study thing at the Jenny Underwood's house (new pastor's wife), and I do -not- want to go. I feel like changing into all black just to spite her.

But Tess is gonna be here in a few minutes and I don't have the time; not that I care that much anyway...

The guilty undertaker signs
The lonesome organ grinder cries
The sliver saxophones say I should
Refuse you
Cracked bells and washed out horns
Blow into my face with scorn
It's not that way
I wasn't born to lose you

I want you
I want you
I want you
So bad

AOL News Says...

"Camilla, 57, is now officially the Princess of Wales, although she will be known as the Duchess of Cornwall in deference to enduring public affection for Diana. When Charles is crowned, she will be queen - but the prince's office says she will use the title "princess consort" instead."

Darn right.

Charmed, I'm Sure

You are

What Rejected Crayon Are You?

I do stupid things.

It makes me think of the Spitalfield album sampler. Stop Doing Bad Things. (They're not any good aesthetically.)

Julie Sparks Quote: "I was going to the bathroom today. And, I saw... a radio! So I was pushing buttons and it wouldn't come on but then it came on and I heard, 'Attention, attention!' And I was like, 'Ohh! This is a good song!' so I played, the whole song, and then I turned it off."

I love this scruffy Swedish man.

Oh wait, I forgot! Caitlin's hair looks like Julian's!

Drowning In Self-Centeredness

Wearing my hair up makes me soft. (I'd rather be difficult.)
Dull colors
The Plain White Ts
Dirty hair and hippies
Certain t-shirts
Yellow makes me bitter.
Hoodies turn me stand-offish and sullen.

I'm not ready to come-- go.

In government I decided that I am tired of being in Spanish-speaking countries and I no longer want to go to them. I don't know what that means. It worried me a little.
In English I look up at Kelly. There is a freckle on his neck that I want to touch.
I think of a new method of control.

A fat girl was wearing the most beautiful black skirt.
When I asked her where she got it, she said, "Old Navy."
Even so, I will go get one.
I have ideas.
I need that black skirt.

I hate the gothic cowboy (who in the end turned out to be neither gothic nor a cowboy) because he looks at me and gets bored.
I hate the one who talks like Adam because he cocks and shows me arrogance. (for no reason, and daily.)

Garage Stock

Nine hundred garage bands? Bang. This, my friends, is Garage Stock. Go and look. Then come back here.

Okay?

Okay. Regretting that I didn't tell you all about this sooner so you could've voted as well. Our local favorites (and I mean favorites) Something Like Holden Caulfield -featuring the hideous yet somehow beloved Dave Edwards- were an option, I was delighted to discover. I voted for them. You can't. Because I didn't tell you about it sooner. I stink.

Anyway. Crystal. We must go. Four days of American indie bliss. Sweet.

Wouldn't You Like Us To Psychoanalyze -You-?

CrystalLite176: we should be pyschoanalyzers of people
CrystalLite176: we ROCK at it
Closer To Regret: haha, Yeah we do, I must admit.
Closer To Regret: ;-)
CrystalLite176: i'm serious! have you ever met anyone even HALF as good at it as us???
Closer To Regret: Nope, no one else even tries usually.
CrystalLite176: oh. i guess so
Closer To Regret: lol
Closer To Regret: I mean, we're that much more genius-y to even THINK to analyze people.
Closer To Regret: And we usually nail it every time.
CrystalLite176: I KNOW! we are like...another breed. we are... PHILOSOPHERS!! they think of things that other people don't even think to think of
Closer To Regret: YES!

"The pontiff was treated by the Vatican medical team and provided with ''all the appropriate therapeutic provisions and cardio-respiratory assistance,'' the Holy See said. It said the pope was being helped by his personal doctor, two intensive care doctors, a cardiologist, an ear, nose and throat specialist and two nurses."

You can read the whole article here if you want, but I just thought I'd post this 'cause, you know, Seinfeld, the ear, nose, and throat guy? =D It made me laugh.

(P.S. I wouldn't really read the whole article if I were you. It took me like an hour. But maybe because I was being distracted by a boy and Tara <-- who was being relentlessly funny.
