---


That was long. And now I tag... YOU! Yes, you. If you're reading this, I tag you! SO DO THIS NOW! k? *grin*

Today was just... great. I woke up feeling happy and rested, and it only got better when I read Nathaniel's blog post ^_^

So... yeah. I decided on a non-Rocky Horror Halloween costume. I stopped into the thrift store by my house on the way home and found this awesome black 80's dress for five dollars - the exact amount of change I happened to have in my pocket. I tried it on and it fits perfectly XDDDD So now all I need is a lot of those jelly bracelets ("sex bracelets" as they're called these days *rolls eyes*), blue eye shadow, bright pink lipstick, a necklace, and whatever I can find for shoes. I can probably get away with wearing it to school on Halloween too even though it's strapless. I hope. Then it's a question of if I'm brave enough to wear it to school lol. Actually... Halloween's a Tuesday - band, double art, and double social. Definitely XD Squee! THEN I have to start putting together my Janet costume. Lots more stuff to ramble on about, but I'm going to go costume shopping with West now. Later *huggles everyone*

Don't bother reading most of this. LOTS of boring trivial crap.

I'm exhausted.

Today started out pretty badly, but it got way better about three quarters through jazz band. I had double art in which I started a project and actually got far enough in it to not be way behind everyone else. One minor setback, but I managed to ignore it - either that or getting kicked out of the class for [trying to] beat somenoe's head in. *cough* So anyway, watched that stupid video for tech theater at lunch again. I had to watch it before in drama. That was pretty lame yet I felt like it needed some call out lines. Double social sucked because I was pretty much ignored throughout the whole thing. But no big deal. OH and after school I went to the band room as usual and Alyssa was there! We did the big glomp thing, screeched a bit, talked, etc. Then I went across the hall to wrestling, which Nina convinced me to join in art class. All we did was line up, heaviest to lightest - boys on one side, girls on the other, then did various cardivascular and leg stuff. Which was hard, because I'm weak and kinda pathetic. At least I didn't have to carry anyone when it was time for body carries. Instead, I was carried by Nina and some other girl. The other girl ground my intestines into little bits with her shoulder and Nina dropped me on my knee. Fun fun.

After that, I went back to the band room to sit with Alyssa, Sarah, Melissa, and Katrina (visiting too) and talked a bit. We have this brand new old-ish clarinet that's the most amazing one I've ever seen - it's made out of real grenadilla wood (I think it's grenadilla... pretty traditional) and when I played it the sound was so warm and thick ^_^ Apparently Ms. Sampson's going to choose the best player and whoever that is gets to use that clarinet. We also got a cute little soprano clarinet - exactly like a B flat one, only way smaller and with a nicer sound I think. But it's only a specialty instrument and we won't be using it much. So after THAT, everyone left except Sarah so I asked if she wanted to come get my cheque with me for something to do. We went, I got it, she got a sammich, then we went to 17th so I could cash it. Then we felt like wandering around the new and used video game store nearby, then the Disc Xchange. I heart the Disc Xchange =D They had almost all VHS on for one dollar each - Sarah bought about 11 movies and a CD and I got the VHS boxed set of the first seven Star Trek movies *dances with joy*. It was originally 65 dollars, but the guy was really nice and gave it to me for 25. Oh, and I found Pink Floyd: The Wall VHS and a Meat Loaf DVD. The "Hot Summer Night" video by him would be perfect to shadow cast for the Halloween Rocky Horror ^^ I'd post it here but all I can find on YouTube is a fairly new live performance of it and not the actual video. So yeah - I think someone needs to come over some time and have a movie night or something :)

And now a more serious and not fangirlish note. Seriously. I mean it! lol.

Last night it was really hard to fall asleep. I kept thinking about the future and worrying about how I'm not doing good enough now to prepare for that future. Plus some other stuff - usually in these moods I think about pretty much everything else bad in my life. So I was tossing and turning for about an hour and a half before I fell asleep. Not as bad as usual, but still. I'm sick of always having these things creep up on my in the night as soon as the lights go out. There's some more I want to talk about, but I just don't feel like getting into all that again now. What else... oh yeah. Another thing I've been thinking about lately is my lack of motivation in school. These days it seems I'm just forcing myself through each day at a bare minimum. But now that I've joined wrestling, I'm hoping it can give me a boost of energy and, well, motivation. Because I've been so lazy when it comes to anything work related. Obviously. Fuuuuck I still need math help. I'll have to stay after class (DOUBLE MATH TOMORROW DX) and talk to my teacher. Sometimes I just naturally tune out teachers lol. It's like it's become programmed into my brain that they exist to be ignored lol. I'm going to have to work on that.

Well I'm going to go now. Mom yelling at me down the stairs 9_9

Good night, insignificant percentage of the world that is reading this.

*Yawn*

What an eventful day. Woke up, had leftover pizza, watched TV, went on computer, more TV, laundry, more computer, blah blah blah. Oh, and I sort of made dinner. Taco casserole thingy.

Oh yeah - iTunes should fucking DIE. Yet I'm still using it.

Thanks to Stumble Upon I found this little comic that I really love (even though a majority of the strips make no sense to me lol) so I'm going to post some. (click for full size)

*cough*

So last night I went to that concert thing. We were a little bit late, but it didn't actually start until about 7:30 because they were having technical difficulties. We sat at a table off to the side with everyone (Nathaniel and Kai, then West, Carissa, and Christina came later) until we got overheated and restless. We ran around outside for a bit, then went to Mac's for stuff. Me and Nathaniel ended up going to West's studio for the night. We watched Grease 2 (kinda good, but it really cops out at the end) and then Zim on the big projection screen. Then we fell asleep during Ghostbusters. Well, sort of. I slept quite crappily. If that's even a word. So we got kicked out just after 10 am. I walked home from 17th, hoping the whole way that I wouldn't get caught (mom didn't know I was spending the night somewhere and she was out drinking all night). I got to the back door, opened the screen door quietly for once, but the main door was locked. Of ALL THE TIMES my mom comes back from drinking and never locks the door, of ALL THE TIMES Russ goes to work and doesn't lock the door.. and it's locked this time. And there's no way I was going to ring the bell and get in all kinds of trouble. So I resisted the urge to smack my head against the foor a few times, and walked to a bus stop to kill some time. I sat there for about half an hour, then decided sitting in a filthy bus shelter freezing cold wasn't worth not getting yelled at, so I just went back and was going to ring the bell. But my sister was up and on the computer so she let me in, and my mom was sleeping. Home free XD I watched Cheers, slept for a few hours, had some weird ass dreams, slept for another couple hours, then worked up the courage to get some juice. lol. I was in the fridge and my mom snuck up beside me and greeted me in that HORRIBLE high pitched croak thing she does - "Good morning, turkey lurkey!" WTF is that?!?! lmfao. So obviously she has no idea. And when she asked me casually what time I got home and I said eleven.... So it was only half a lie. Eleven could easily mean AM or PM :P

And I'm pretty sure I made my cold worse by wandering around in the cold wearing shorts and a tank top. 'Cause I am t3h smart >_>

I watched Space Jam today. A childhood favorite lmao. And later I'm going to be EVEN SMARTER and go to that video store I hate. Because there's about a 3% chance I'll find something I want to watch there. Maybe more stuff I used to like when I was younger. I've been going through this nostalgia thing for about 4 years now or something.

Jump to the jive! </calloway> lol

Nathaniel,

Math at my house today? It probably won't take long... I think it's mostly area and volume and stuff (they have us doing spheres, hemispheres, cones, etc. and it's hurting my brain Dx) and now we're starting with conversion. Imperial to imperial, metric to imperial, imperial to metric, blah blah BLAH. But yeah ... it's hard. I have cookies at my house too ^_^ lol.

This class is boring. Career shit. Apparently I'd made a good "technical writer" according to my test results. I'd rather be on a film crew or something though. Nothing about animation came up at all. Bleh.. Over half an hour left >< Then I have art, which is good :)

And again, I lurve Pandora.com. Wewt.

You're in a zoot suit riot! *jazzes out*

Hey, if people can rock out, I can jazz out. So shut up xP

Yeah, so last night (for those of you who don't real Nathaniel's blog) I went to see An Inconvenient Truth at the Plaza last night with Nathaniel and West. On our way over there, we ran into Sig (AKA Eve Ill, M.C for Fake Mustache) and Kay (AKA Magenta shadowcaster) randomly on the street and invited them to come along. It was so funny how we all found each other just down the street from the Plaza. It's like we all love the place so much that neither of us can bear to be too far away lmao. So we walked the rest of the way together, got in, sat in the front row as usual, and West distributed the Pocky. So me and Kay chatted for a bit until the movie started about how she innocently scammed a vegan-friendly cosmetics company into sending her a free $100+ sample kit LOL. That was awesome. We got shushed a lot (mostly Nathaniel :P), but overall it was a good documentary. Really scary though. Earth is completely fucked, by the way. Live every day to its fullest. 'Cause seriously... we've fucked ourselves over royally.

But ANYWAY.... after the movie, it was only quarter to nine, so we stood around in the lobby for a bit deciding on what to do, until we finally left and went to the Roasterie (awesome little caffee shop) so Kay could ask about displaying her art there. The atmosphere in that place is amazing. As soon as you walk in it feels like you've stepped back a few decades. They even had Cab Calloway music in the background XD Which Kay loves too, by the way. So we left there because we didn't feel like buying anything and went to the Oolong Teahouse, one of Calgary's RHPS sponsors. We got this pot of roobios tea or something. It smelled good, but I didn't like it lol. We hung around there until 10 and I was like "lol I have to be home in like 2 minutes" so we left, walked to the C Train station, walked the 15 minutes or so to West's studio so Nathaniel could FINALLY get his wallet, we got some more Pocky, then the three of us walked to the bus stop. Bus took like an hour to get there, too. Then I almost made Nathaniel break a bone or two... he was walked along the edge of the bench that I was sitting on and I glomped his legs a little too hard. He fell down. Sorry. lol. We were just about to go back to the studio to call my mom and tell her what was going on, and we saw the bus coming. The bus was very crowded for 11 PM >_> I got home around 11:45 and my mom wasn't mad at all. I passed out until my sister's alarm went off (we have to share a room because my grandma's over). Then I blacked out and slept until 7:30 when my mom came in and yelled at me a little. So I missed J Block yet again ><

I really hope I fall asleep early tonight. I'm exhausted. I think I might crash in the basement though because when my sister sleeps she makes the most excruciatingly HORRIBLE mouth noises [insert whichever emoticon equates my disgust best]. It almost drove me to literal insanity last summer @_@ *read through post* Damn that's a lot of trivial babbling. Oh well, it's my blog, so ha.

EVENT! EVERYONE COME OR SUFFER!

When: Friday, September 22nd
Where: Albert park Community Center
What: Concert with various local rock/punk bands. And free cake.
Why: Kay's birthday.
How much: $8 at the door, $7 if you bring a canned food donation for Food Not Bombs.

Also, thanks West for the free entrance and juice! =D And Pocky. Woot.

Yoy ^_^

Way better mood than before. Also a huge burst of energy that should not be humanly possible because the small amount of sleep I've been getting. I almost fell asleep a few times in class again too lol. But now I'm all hyper and happy XD And listening to yet more Boingo! Rawhide. Splee. And now I have a veggie burger ^_^

So late I'm going to the Plaza to see that Al Gore global warming movie with West and Nathaniel. AND POCKY XD It's going to be weird seeing a non-Rocky Horror movie there. Speaking of which, I watched the DVD twice last night. Once normally so I could get a closer look at Janet's underwear (LOL it's for my costume - not perverted :P) and then again with the commentary. It was teh funny.

My grandmother is visiting for a few days Dx And my aunt is here for dinner. And Lei is coming by around seven to pick up some crap he left here. Hopefully he won't stay becayse of relatives being here. Even though I won't be home, iI still hate the idea of him in my house. Teh suck. At least I'll get rid of some clutter though.

Ooh I joined tech theater again! I miss being a theater techie. It's the perfect job for me - still involved in the arts, but in the background, still making things work but being unnoticed. And NOT on stage. Even though I might audition for a TINY part in the upcoming play, which is Dracula. Also maybe some voiceover work for Wizard Of Oz dance production.

And um... that's all I can think of to babble about for now.

*screams*

I feel like shit. I have insomnia yet again even though I only got three hours of sleep the ngiht before, AND I'm getting a cold so I'm more tired than usual because my body is trying to fight it. That kicked in about one tenth into math class. Which I need help in again, by the way because when the teacher throws a bunch of numbers mixed with letters onto a board and explains it all really fast, it does that WHOOSH thing right over my head. But that's not the point.

The thing that's really got me all restless and manic is this lingering pressure in my mind telling me there's something I need to get off my mind. But I can't just spill it all. Well I can, there's just something stopping me. And when I think about it a certain way, it sounds so stupid in my head. But that doesn't last long. And when I think about how it's all stuck in my head, I get this weird little vision of myself banging my head against a flat surface until a little hold breaks open in my forehead and my brains spill out in a gooey gelatinous heap, making this awesome SHPLOOGHNUNGK noise. And every time I try to talk about it, someone misses the point ENTIRELY and it leaves me feeling more frustrated. Which leads to more fantasy head pain.

I know I feel tired, but I also know that if I bother getting up and going back to bed, I'll only end up more awake than before. And energy drinks have been making me feel kinda sick lately. Oh noes end of teh wurldz. lawl. Damn I'm a sarcastic asshole.

:/

I have some free time in CALM class, so I'm updating. In a pretty good mood I suppose... Band class was pretty fucking irritating. Lots of incompetence. This one girl in tenth grade is horrible and she insists on playing first clarinet. I did that sometimes last year, but at least I had the ability and I played mostly second near the end of the year. And I just acciedentally deleted an entire paragraph. Great. I hate this laptop. But I digress - (Ha - I've always wanted to say that) art class was good too. I actually got my rough copy done and started my good copy.

Oh and plans have pretty much been made for October 28th - the tickets (for B Level seating) are only 37 dollars for students, so my mom's going to get me a few for my birthday. Probably not many though, so if anyone wants to come, let me know and we can get it sorted out.

I love Pandora.com. I almost forgot all about it until today - I entered Cab Calloway in and now it's coming up with all this awesome fast jazz - exactly what I'm in the mood for. Note to self: download Are You Hep To the Jive? by Cab Calloway, Phalanges by Clarke Terry, Cabaletto by Victor Feldman, and stuff by Hot Lips Page.

So... some things that have me kinda down. I don't know how to put it into words exactly... It's just - things have been somewhat too good to be true and like I said before, I'm startng to doubt and question everything. Like - is this really happening? Why me? Do I deserve this? and so on and so on. But I think it's starting to go away, even though it kept me awake a few extra hours last night. But I woke up with three hours sleep feeling strangely alert and awake. I bought a Lost anyway. Yum. I'm hungry... good thing lunch time is in about 15 minutes. Yay, band room. And now my thoughts are starting to get all scattered as my attention span wanes, so I'm probably going to wrap this up soon.

Hey, anyone want to help me get an extra 5% in CALM? I have to do these weekly Brain Buster things and I don't quite get this one...

A man livs on the 10th floor of a building. Every day, he takes the elevator to the first floor to go to work or go shopping. When he returns, he always takes the elevator to the 7th floor and then walks the remaining flights of stairs to his apartment on the 10th floor. Why does he do this?

Any help would be great. Thanks.

Anything else I wanted to blab about? Hm... nothing reallyworth it. See ya.

Go away from me, just go away

I don't know what it is and I'm not sure exactly how or when it started, but every time I have something good going for me, my mind refuses to accept it. I have to doubt every little thing and assume the worst. I even talked about this with my councelor (sp?) at school but he didn't help much. Maybe I should go back.. *shrug*.

I had to ditch West today and now I feel bad. I was going to go to this matinee at the theater he works at, but once we were making plans and everything, I remembered that it's Sunday and I have a bunch of laundry and homework to do :( I'll also feel really bad if Nathaniel gets into trouble at work for ditching yesterday. Also if he gets sick because I've kinda had a sore throat for a couple days now. See? I'm a naturally guilty person.

Anyway... The concert last night was really good. I always forget how much I love live classical music. I think the best part though was when me and Kai were looking through the programme and found the Halloween Spooktacular special thing on October 28th. They'll be playing Funeral March Of a Marionette, Flying Purple People Eater, Monster Mash, and ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW stuff XD You can also go in Halloween costumes. At the intermission we saw Ms Sampson a few rows ahead of us so we ran up to her and showed her but she said we wouldn't be able to get free tickets for it. So I'm going to call the box office thing and see how much tickets are. Hopefully around 40 dollars-ish. But probably not.

As for homework... I know I need to get it done, but... You know. It sucks.

Nathaniel, if I'm not online when you get home, I really really hope you didn't get in trouble and I'll talk to you whenever I can xoxo

Oh, and

THE BISCUIT HAS A BUTT!

I made a little person out of Kai's biscuit today. We were eating snacks in art class and she took a bit out of this little biscuit thing. I asked her if I could see it for a second, so I poked it with a Starburst candy. It kinda looked like an eye, so I poked another eye in it. Then I took an art scalpel thingy and cit a frown into it. Then I turned it around and carved a spine and buttcheeks into it. He doesn't really have a name... I just call it a biscuit baby. So I got to scare the shit out of Kai with it all day, no matter how hard she tried to steal it from me and crush it. I was even doing a voice for it and everything xD I'll get a picture as soon as I'm not too lazy to go get my camera, find batteries, take the picture, upload it to Pic-Bin, and post it here. Way too much effort. And that was the highlight of my day. Not very eventful. So now I'm tired and ignoring the fact that I have math homework.

So now I'm thinking about getting off the computer (it's fucking freezing down here ><) and hanging up my new National Geographic pictures. All those creepy birds, plants, and maggots being injected with liquids. I was in a morbid mood... Still am >_>

LJ sucks

One more reason to stop using LJ and start using Blogspot: Blogspot isn't blocked by my school. Ha.

Ha

I find it sad and funny at the same time that in about 15-20 years from now, all these children spawned by celebrity relationships are going to realize that they only exist because their parents had to participate in the fad of having babies with your celebrity partner. Which is its own fad in itself. Just a thought.

In other news - a good cartoon.

Insomnia XD

If I were asleep right now (which I'm not) I'd have to wake up in 20 minutes for school. But... I'm not. So now I get to stumble around school tomorrow, strong energy drink in hand, looking like a zombie. YAY! Actually... I think I might be okay. There's a chance that I've gotten used to going a long time with little sleep. In this case, less than an hour since about 11:47 AM yesterday.

So my mom is fighting with Russ again. Apparently he's just being an asshole because he's really stressed out, but I doubt that because I have this feeling that something else is going on. I'm almost certain they're not happy with each other at this point in time. Oh well. Nothing I can do about it. It's just weird to hear doors slamming and people yelling past midnight around here. It's usually dead quiet except for TVs and radios at night. But I'm still happy and not much can change that now. I'm just... blah.

Thanks for the link, Astrid.

Okay... wtf. I can't help but feel insulted by Fall Out Boy, Panic At the Dicso!, Marilyn Manson, etc., covering songs by Danny Elfman. I just DON'T want this to happen. I know the bands are fans of the movie, but have you notived how obsessed the teenage "goth" and "emo" culture is with this movie? I doubt most of them have ever even seen it! Just because it's "dark" and about dead people, shouldn't make it a cult icon for these people. I see Jack's face on EVERYTHING these days. There's WAY too much merchandise. Oh and get this... I was in Spencer's the other day (my sister wanted to look around) and they had some NBC action figures on a wall. One of them was "Pirate Jack". Now anyone who's ever seen this movie at least ONCE, knows that there is no pirate Jack ANYWHERE. The second you look at the action figure, you can see that it's the nameless skeleton pirate from James and the Giant Peach who happens to look like Jack because that's Tim Burton's style. You can see a Jack look-alikes in a lot of Burton movies if you look closely. But that's not the point. The point is that people are so obsessed with NBC merchandise that they don't even care if it came from the movie or not.

The true fans will be happy about it becoming available in theaters again though XD I can't wait! And in 3d too!

Kinda went off topic there for a minute... But whatever. You get the point. I will not buy this cover album. I might download a song or two to check it out (there's a microscopic chance that it might not be horrible), but that's it. My sister might buy it though. She loves those bands. *sigh*

First day of grade 11

Today was awesome! I was a couple minutes late for home room, but I didn't miss anything important, and no one cared. I have at least one friend in all of my classes too except for CALM =D Kai, Nina, and Bathany in art, Amanda and Bjorn in social, and Jason in math. Art is going to be the best. A bunch of us met in the band room after, everyone touched my hair, hugged, screamed lots, etc. Me, Kai, Neo, Carla, and Amie went to 7-11 after to get some ice cream, then went home. So that's it in a nutshell.

I CAN'T FUCKING WAIT UNTIL HALLOWEEN!! Another Rocky Horror showing ^_^ Plus, well, Halloween is just awesome. I'm going to try to find a Magenta costume by then to wear to school on Halloween and to the Show. And since Halloween is on a school night this year, I'm going to the Show even if I'm not allowed. I don't care - I'll sneak out if I have to XD

And that's about it. I can't wait until tomorrow! I finally get my first band class in over 2 months x3

Rocky Horror post #2

So about the third night. It started out really weird because the projector wasn't working so the picture was barely visible, but the show went on. They tried to fix it, but settled on just putting the DVD in the projector. We got to do the Time Warp an extra time too XD Me and Nathaniel got Gordy to come up on stage with us this time too.

Then there was the sleepover. Everyone else sat in the front row except for Gordy, Nathaniel, me, and the guy who shadow casts Eddie (we sat off to the side) to watch Shock Treatment, which we didn't really get into. We just talked until the movie was over when I made them move up onto the stage so I could lie down and maybe sleep. We ended up just lying in a circle talking about sex and guy things, me being the only female in the group. I'd go into more detail, but I'm tired and have to go soon.

So we got kicked out of the theater around 9 am and found a bus stop. Me and Gordy fell asleep on the way to his house, then when we got to his room me and Nathaniel fell asleep together on the couch lol. So I've had about 2 hours of sleep since 3 pm Sunday. AND I start school tomorrow. I have to go now. School shopping. Shoot me ><

More later

Virgin hunting!

This month's Rocky Horror Picture Show has been fucking amazing. Third and last night tonight =D It's going to be the best.

First night I went with Nathaniel, Gordy, and Nina. Me and Nina got dressed up in skirts, fishnets, bright red lipstick, etc. Then we went down there on bus and trains, wandered around Kensington for an hour, got espresso and a cookie, and went down to the show! We saw Lei there and enjoyed throwing rice, toast, and toilet paper at the back of his head. He was so pissed xD He stormed out during the Rose Tint My World song, then confronted us out in the lobby afterwards. Too bad it wasn't outside.. Gordy and Nathaniel would've kicked his ass. After that, we walked down by the river for a while then found our way to a Mac's store by Nina's old school and tried to call a cab. And here's the best part - while we were waiting for a cab to go by to flag it down (number was busy) the Rhapsody Shadow Cast found out and asked us if we needed a ride home XD! So they dropped us off at the seven eleven by my house, said good night and everything, and invited us to a slumber party thing at the theater for tonight!

I'll ramble on about the rest of it later, but I must go now.

Yay again ^^

So I've gotten past how awkward last night was. Kinda. Tonight was better lol. And that sounds wrong - but I don't mean it that way lol.

But anywho... Work was okay today. I had to work with a new girl who was a prep-raver. It wasn't that bad - I just didn't have any music she likes. I got the day off tomorrow! But I have to wake up at about 8 am to get down to my school for registration and crap before 11:45. But I get to meet Kai and Carla at the band room ^_^ Which I have missed infinitely. I'm also going to get my hair done (cut short, dyed black with purple or electric blue highlights) AND am attending another midnight Rocky Horror show with Nathaniel, Gordy, and Carla. 'Cause no one else can come. Poo. But Lei is going to be there and I shall enjoy rubbing it in his face that I'm very happy with Nathaniel and am also very happy with him out of my life. GONE! MWAHAHAA!! *cough* I have to work again on Saturday, then Sunday is my last day XD Then I have two days before first day of school. Don't know where I'm going to fit the tattoo in though. Probably after school starts, because I know what I want, I just need to work out the details. Woot. Umm what else... All my Zim episodes are done downloading! I can now try to burn DVDs for friends. Because ripping the official ones and burning onto DVDs wasn't working. Fuck! I'm missing Tripping the Rift! Ah well. There are always DVDs to buy and downloads to... download.

SO yeah, back to the beginning of the post. I'm slowly getting more used to this relationship thing (sick of using that word lol) but I still feel like there's more I need to say. But it's not all there. Or something. I don't know. Gah. But I have to stop typing now because my sister is coming for her turn on the computer.
