Done Being Enchanted

update.

2008-07-27T12:20:00.000-07:00

I am terribly dissappointed in
Mindless Self Indulgence's new album.
"If"

I finally got the chance to listen to it
in its entirety.

and it's pretty much terrible.

It sounds like a collection of all the songs that
didn't make it onto
"You'll rebel to Anything..."

ergh.

In other news:
Miley Cyrus wants to be Avril Lavigne.
her new song is on FUSE all the damn time and
it sounds like Avril Lavigne.

also.
The Jonas Bros.' new song is EXACTLY
like Maroon 5's "Makes Me Wonder".

Not that I care.

goddamnit.

2008-07-24T09:12:00.000-07:00

My.
Latest.
Musical.
Obsession.

{Listening To: "The Last Sunrise" -Aiden}

Yay.

2008-07-22T12:12:00.000-07:00

So.
So.
Happy.

I bought my Vans.

I've been looking for these damn shoes for months.
(or at least it seems like it).

Finally found them in my size and all.

oneofthosetimesIwishIhadunlimitedmoney.

2008-07-20T17:22:00.000-07:00

okay.
At the moment,
my main concern is whether
or not to spend 100 dollars on
Virgin Mobile Festival tickets. (for the Sunday-day)

-Bob Dylan
-Nine Inch Nails
-Stone Temple Pilots
-Iggy & The Stooges
-Taking Back Sunday
-Paramore
-She & Him
-Black Rebel Motorcycle Club

Sweet. Sour. Gone.

2008-07-09T16:44:00.000-07:00

We stocked up on crap

for the trip home,

which consists of:

PLANE (4 hours) >> LAYOVER (2 hours) >> PLANE (4 hours)

Note To Self:

These are the necessities for a long-ass trip.

Music Magazines & a shitload of candy.

It feels like summer's ending, but it's not.

2008-07-09T16:36:00.000-07:00

Well...
I'm packing.
Fun.

Time to go back to Maryland...
though, not for very long,
in all honesty.

Our plane arrives in Baltimore LATE LATE on the 10th,
and my train to New York leaves EARLY EARLY on the 11th.

So, I shouldn't be tired at all. =)

I am beyond concievably excited to go to New York.
Holy Holy Shit.

{Listening To: "Meds" -Placebo}

Piercing.

2008-07-09T15:52:00.000-07:00

Oh,
& I got my ears pierced again yesterday.

Last year I had about 9 in each year
but I got a really vicious infection
and had to take more than half of them out.

SO..
I decided I'm going to slowly re-pierce them
& yesterday I got 2 cartilages done.

(the one with the arrows pointing to them.)

errr..

2008-07-09T15:46:00.000-07:00

Well...

We went to see
HANCOCK
at the theatre yesterday.

I kind of hate Will Smith as an actor...
then again, his singing is pretty wretched too.
The movie was quite bad..
and had way too many plot holes....
the ending was semi-redeemable though.

Also, he makes THIS SAME DAMN FACE throughout the whole movie.

I've given up making creative titles.

2008-07-09T12:05:00.000-07:00

So..I forgot about this
but a couple days ago we watched
PSYCHO.

Crazy-ass fucking movie.

...still.

2008-07-07T17:02:00.000-07:00

& today, we saw

WALL-E

It was, no doubt,

THE Best Animated movie I've seen in...years.

It was perfect.
Not to over-think it, but it was really deep
& a lot more meaningful than it let on.
I suppose a lot of people will go to it
and just love how adorable the robots are and all...

but there is more to it.

Unlike most animated films,
Wall-E involves ideas,
not just mindless scenes of animals karate chopping things.

..still going...

2008-07-07T16:56:00.000-07:00

On Sunday we rented

ONCE.

Meh..
It was sweet, I suppose.
It was pretty cool that it was a true story
& that the people were playing themselves.
& of course I respect that they wrote all the songs themselves.

But...it was still kind of boring, repetitive...dull...any other synonyms...

{Listening To: "Surgically Removing The Tracking Device" - Say Anything}

WFF continued.

2008-07-07T16:49:00.000-07:00

Then, on Sunday night
Anna & I couldn't get to sleep so we decided to watch a movie.

The only movie we could find at my Grandma's house was:

EVER AFTER

I remember this used to be my absolute favorite movie.
I hadn't seen it in about 5 years.

It's beautiful.

{Listening To: "Another Innocent Girl" -Alkaline Trio}

Weekend Film Fest

2008-07-07T16:42:00.000-07:00

More movies this weekend.
Of Course.

First off:

THE SCIENCE OF SLEEP

It was...fantastical.
Gael Garcia Bernal is enchanting.
The whole movie was an insane mindfuck.

{Listening To: "Stupid Kid" -Alkaline Trio}

CD COLLECTION EXPANSION.

2008-07-07T16:31:00.000-07:00

...Working on my CD collection
=)

Today's purchases
happen to be two of my all-time favorite albums:

"The Walking Wounded" - Bayside

"In Defense Of The Genre" - Say Anything

{Listening To: "Live Young, Die Fast" -Alkaline Trio}

Damn Straight.

Hair.

2008-07-05T02:16:00.001-07:00

So.

I got my hair cut.
Just a bit.

& When I was dyeing Anna's hair
I decided to use the leftover dye to
funkify my hair.

=D

{WATCHING DAVE CHAPELLE}

Taste my rainbow.

2008-07-03T01:01:00.000-07:00

So so so so...

I really should stop posting.

but yeah.

I'm going to cut my hair.
I really want to grow it out..
but I don't want to re-dye all of it because I want to grow out my natural color...

SO.
I'm going to keep cutting it short until
my natural color grows out completely.

In the meantime...
I think I'm going to dye it some crazy-ass color.

Life is not a sum of its parts, kiddo.

2008-07-03T00:47:00.000-07:00

Anna & I watched
THE UNITED STATES OF LELAND.

It came out in 2003.

WHY DID I NOT SEE THIS MOVIE UNTIL NOW?!?!?

It is fantastic.
Everything about it.
The characters.
The way it takes on life & tragedy & dealing with life & tragedy...
& state of mind...

Holy fucking christ.
It is extraordinary.
Ryan Gosling is absolutely phenomenal.
..yet again.

Why did I used to think that all there was to him
was The Notebook?

HOLY HELL.

2008-07-02T23:10:00.000-07:00

We saw WANTED
at the movie theatre today.

It was abso-fucking-lutely
THE WORST movie I've seen since...
Pearl Harbor? probably.

There were but TWO redeemable factors.

ONE: Angelina Jolie is fucking hot.

TWO: James McAvoy is pretty cute
& has some rad quotable lines.

What's your favorite color, punk?

2008-07-02T22:51:00.000-07:00

So...The Black Parade Is Dead!
is out in stores.

I actually went to Hastings
to just SEE it on the shelf.
LOSER.

yeah.
Unfortunately..
my special edition version is at my house in Maryland
waiting for me...

& I'm in Arizona.
perfect.

grr.

Rawr.

2008-07-02T22:47:00.000-07:00

So...yes.

The German movie we watched yesterday WAS about
a gay rowing team.
(& by German, I mean we had to have subtitles)

It was really good, I have to admit.
It sort of fell on trite gay-kid cliches...
but hardly as much as most American films that feature
gay youth.

It was akward & sweet & emotional.

...and the actors were absolutely perfect.

I'm in live with the main guy.
His name was Tobi.

Thank you Hastings.

2008-07-02T20:52:00.000-07:00

CD collection update:

-"Nightmare Anatomy"- Aiden.

{Listening To: "Straight To Video" -Mindless Self Indulgence}

BLOCKBUSTER OWNS.

2008-07-01T16:18:00.000-07:00

We went thrift store hunting again =)
I got a rad black jean jacket
& a light blue cardigan.

THEN, we went to Blockbuster to rent some foreign films.

First up:

CATERINA VA IN CITTA'

It was alright.
At first the characters were really hard to like.
They were just irritating.
Especially the father. ugh.

But in the end they were redeemed.
I am now in love with various lovely boys & girls from that movie.

Especially the girl on the right here <3

Next up is some German movie, I think...
I think it's about a gay rowing team??

In Anticipation.

2008-06-30T21:03:00.000-07:00

..finally, after waiting since....January?

The Black Parade Is Dead! is coming out tomorrow.

you see...THIS is my favorite band.

All their albums are my favorite albums.
All their songs are my favrite songs.
There is not a single body of work of theirs
that I do not appreciate to the utmost degree.

{Listening To: "The Dope Show"- Marilyn Manson}

good luck my ass.

2008-06-30T01:15:00.000-07:00

There.

...Somewhere.
It keeps making this ridiculously annoying chirping sound

AND THEN,
when I stand up to go find it...
IT STOPS.

and then as soon as I lay back down..
IT STARTS AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SHUT THE FUCK UP GODDAMN CRICKET!!!!!!
I.

HELLz Yes.

2008-06-29T20:13:00.000-07:00

There is a
LAW & ORDER: SVU
marathon on tonight.

Thank you TV,
you have made my day.

The night looks good:

-SVU marathon
-Stack of old Rolling Stone issues
-more Sour Jacks

ALSO...
2 days 'till THE BLACK PARADE IS DEAD! comes out.

Perfection.

{Listening To: "That's What You Get" -Paramore}

Waking up at 11:00.

2008-06-29T20:06:00.000-07:00

This morning:
Stomach still hurts.
Damn Candy.

We watched
REIGN OVER ME
-Adam Sandler & Don Cheadle & Liv Tyler.

Must admit,
I thought Sandler was only made for corny comedies
but he was quite excellent
as a 9/11 widower in this film.

{Listening To: "Bite To Break Skin" -Senses Fail}

What we do when there's really nothing to do.

2008-06-29T19:42:00.001-07:00

What did we do?
We watched movies. Yessir.

Spent the weekend with my other grandparents.
Ran to Hastings with my cousin
and rented a couple films,

OH, and bought a ri-goddamn-diculous amount of candy. =)
Three Cheers for Sour Jacks.
I ate WAY too many of them,
have had a stomach-ache since last night.
THEY ARE SO DAMN GOOD.

We watched
CHARLIE BARTLETT (again)

rad, rad movie.
Seriously, it's awesome.
It's so phenomenally novel in its take on teen angst.

Anton Yelchin is quite possibly
one of the
most adorable people ever.

...as is co-star Mark Rendall
(the suicidal outcast who, in true cliche, is a marilyn manson fan)

Give it up Hollywood!
The depressed kid liking M.Manson is so 1990s.

and of course, the lovely
Robert Downey Jr.
...even though he's getting on in years, eh?

the film is just full of loveliness.

FOUR DAYS.

2008-06-27T23:15:00.000-07:00

Three, techincally.

The 1st doesn't really count....I suppose.

ANYWAYS...

FOUR/THREE DAYS UNTIL

THE BLACK PARADE IS DEAD!
comes out.

And I swear,
If they postpone it again
I am going to go HULK on someone.

Yeah. That's right.

2008-06-27T22:50:00.000-07:00

Well..

the film is over and
I still haven't the slightest idea what happened.

Here's a thought..

watch it.
then tell me what the fuck it's about.

Yeah?

On a positive note,
Ryan Gosling was phenomenal.

Also..the production was excellent.

2008-06-27T22:35:00.001-07:00

I.
Do.
Not.
Understand.
This.
Movie.

If it does not explain what the fuck is going on,
by the end of the movie,
I am suing for emotional damages.

STAY.

2008-06-27T22:02:00.001-07:00

We are currently watching STAY.

with Ryan Gosling & Ewan McGregor.

As of yet, I do not understand a fucking thing.

...but Ryan Gosling is lovely.

Oh...Yeah

2008-06-27T21:56:00.000-07:00

You know what irks me beyond all things?

LOUD ANNOYING PEOPLE IN MOVIE THEATRES.

At THE HULK, there was this bald, middle aged guy
in front of us that was NO JOKE

the LOUDEST
most INCONSIDERATE
STUPID jerk-off.
EVER.

He was whistling
and gasping and
laughing throughout the ENTIRE movie.
EVEN after we told him to shut up.

THEN, after the movie
he had the fucking BALLS
to approach US
saying we had been kicking his daughter's seat.

asshole.

I WAS ABOUT TO GO HULK ON HIS ASS.

2008-06-27T21:53:00.000-07:00

We also saw THE HULK again.

Holy shit.
I love Edward Norton.
I love Edward Norton.
I love Edward Norton.

=)

2008-06-27T21:46:00.000-07:00

We saw Iron Man again.

Damn, I love superhero movies.
Robert Downey Jr. is delectable.

Rawr.

yet more movies...

2008-06-27T21:37:00.000-07:00

NUMB

-Decent & amusingly cynical.

HALF NELSON

Ryan Gosling is my new favorite actor.
Lovely movie.

oh, the novelty.

2008-06-24T01:31:00.000-07:00

We decided to watch some more movies,
for a change =)

First Up:
Dan In Real Life.

Decent.
I was completely surprised that Dane Cook was in it.
His adorableness made it more watchable. =)

THEN:
Purgatory House.

This movie was completely written by a 14 year old girl,
who also stars in it.
It's really fucking weird.
& pretty fucking good.

The movies continue.
More updates later.

2008-06-22T21:11:00.000-07:00

Okay, changed my mind.

August Rush was overly sweet,
had too any plot holes
and was overall kind of lame.

It's madness.

2008-06-22T20:58:00.001-07:00

Anna & I rented a bunch more movies today =)

We watched
Death At A Funeral.
It's a british movie.

Definitely, definitely recommend it.
One of the best comedies I've ever seen.

Currently, we are watching
August Rush.

Decent, as of yet.
Sweet.

Tonight.

2008-06-20T22:42:00.000-07:00

Tonight we watched "Falscher Bekenner".
It's an indie German movie.
As in, in German.
(with english subtitles)

It was interesting.
A little open-ended & unresolved, but good.

The lead actor is absolutely adorable.

AND THEN...
holy crap, this huge-ass cockroach ran across the
TV screen & Anna & I went crazy.
We screamed like idiots & ran into the other room.

My Grandma had to come kill it.

{Listening To "4am" -Our Lady Peace}

That's what you get...

2008-06-20T22:29:00.000-07:00

So...we're in Arizona.

Anna & I stopped by Blockbuster
and went a little insane
in picking movies.

Last night we watched three movies,
we went to sleep at 4:00 am.

FIRST:

I'd seen it before but Anna hadn't.
Brilliant movie in my honest opinion.

THEN:

Ellen Page is an amazing actress,
but the movie is a little too...frightening.
P.S.---> DO NOT WATCH WITH PARENTALS OR YOUNG SIBLINGS --- AKWARD.

THEN:

The most depressing, intense INTENSE, movie I think I've ever seen.

{Listening To: "We're Not Gonna Take It" -Twisted Sister}

Damn.

Kentucky.

2008-06-13T05:53:00.000-07:00

So...schools out.
Anna & I are on our way to Arizona.

Currently,
we are in a hotel in Kentucky.
The breakfast here sucked.
I had cold oatmeal & sour coffee.
Yay.

Also... Anna taght me to play
the verses of 'Wonderwall'
& now she's annoyed because I keep playing them
over & over =)

anywhoo...I think I'll go check out
the hotel exercize room.
=)

Hell yes.

I have been counting down the

end of this school year since.....it began.

Junior year is over.

It's been....

well, I'd like to say it was fun

but it wasn't.

It just plain sucked,

& I couldn't be happier that it's over.

It's all that coffee.

This coffee is the taste of death and eternal damnation all in one.
This coffee tastes like someone just sucked out the grey matter of my brain.
This coffee taste like someone just stole my wallet.

I still want a tofurky sandwich.

Idiot.

It's a mind-numbing river of caffeine and reality TV.
Screw you TV.
Your late night shows blow.

MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE BLAMED FOR TEEN SUICIDE.

Memorable quotes from this article:

"Two weeks before her death, she started following U.S. band My Chemical Romance."

"One of the foremost of these "suicide cult" bands is My Chemical Romance, from New Jersey."

"One of their songs contains the lyrics: "Although you're dead and gone, believe me your memory will go on."
---------------------------------------------

I'm going to say this with all the due respect
to someone who was obviously troubled.
It's always a tragedy when someone commits suicide,
especially when they're 13.

But once again,
the media has used a band/music genre
as scapegoat.

Using this girl's death to target a band
cheapens her.
And the band is seriously misrepresented.
This is a band who's self-proclaimed purpose is to SAVE LIVES.
And they don't often let you forget it.

"If you, or someone you know are severely depressed, you need to fucking talk to someone! Your best friend, your mom, somebody at school. I don't give a fuck, because pissing away your life on suicide is fucking bull shit!"
-Gerard Way.

"Like, you should never want to hurt yourself. You should love yourself." -Gerard Way

Maybe the blame should be placed on society.
After all,
she's been part of this profoundly misguided society for 13 years.
She only listened to My Chemical Romance for two weeks.

{Listening to: "HEADFIRST FOR HALOS" - MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE}

Wake Up. You're Alive.

2008-05-18T17:37:00.000-07:00

-About 19,000 young adults attempted suicide in the U.K. last year.

.ALTER-EGOs. (The Other "I")

It's an intriguing concept, for various reasons.

One such reason is merely the romanticism of fantasy.

Make yourself up.

Polarize yourself.

Skew the colors. Skew your positives & negatives.

Become.Anyone.You.Want.

And then there is the aspect of cowardice.

You need not take responsibility

when you can say you were only playing a role.

No repercussions.

No guilt.

Hide in a shell of your own mind.

Present yourself as strong and unfazed.

Scream obscenities.

Jump off a cliff.

Slam your car into a wall.

Nothing.Can.Touch.You.When.You're.Not.You.

It also gives one depth,

There is a fucked-up postmodern disenchanting quality

with casting aside your skin.

Taking on a new persona.

Don't you want to talk to that person

who is not really a person,

more of a character, really?

Much more interesting than

the solitary pifalls of a modern existence.

Be a count.

Be a vampire.

Be a fucking superhero.

I was awake until 3:00 AM last night.

But here I am, awake ate 8 in the damn morning.

Julia= caffeine powered.

at least it's a 'green' energy source.

I am currently writing my paper on Bukowski

& his disenchantment with American soul-darkening monotony.

I'm contemplating using lyric from 'Cubicles' (My Chem)

Also...I want to advocate the Aiden album 'Conviction'.

It's stellar.

To listen to, not in a obsessive I-am-going-to-model-my-life-after-Wil-Francis way.

but in a I-want-to-listen-to-something-rad, way.

It has a lot of heart-pumping choruses with

invigorating yells and crowd singing.

If you haven't already listened to it

I reccomend:

-Teenage Queen

-The Sky Is Falling

-One Love

-She Will Love You.

Just listen to the whole damn album.

It's Sunday,

wtf else are you doing at the moment?

I'm a scrappy little person.

I've been wanting THIS damn sweatshirt for.....ever?

But, of course...I'm broke.

I spent all my money on this My Chem watch on Ebay.

SO...anyways....I made my own shirt.

Hence, my being SCRAPPY.

Yes, It took a lot of creativity & effort.

& also, ignore my stupid bubble gum.

I'm a douchebag.

I'm A Fucking Fairy.

2008-05-16T19:45:00.000-07:00

I just spent about an hour and a half

making my CD shopping list.

No wonder I don't get anything important done.

Balls.

Hmm..

I Do believe I'm a tad addicted to My Chem & Gerard Way.

But Just a tad, you know?

It's not like I model my outfits or behaviours after him.

It's not like I imitate him, ever.

Meh....who am I kidding?

2008-05-12T13:54:00.000-07:00

I've got a list a mile long of things I should be doing.

I should start my Bukowski paper.

I should start my Gun Control paper.

I should do my laundry.

I should go get some exercise.

I should drink less caffeine.

I should go take a shower.

...but I won't.

We both know that.

I'm a lazy, lazy person

and I will most likely just continue searching

random things in google.

THE JINGLE JANGLE MORNING.

It's not that difficult Mr. Castro.

(If you're not into American Idol, just ignore me)

.....sigh.

ANYWHO.

Yesterday, Anna & I went to this little yard sale

and bought some records:

-Fleetwood Mac

-Billy Idol

-the Westside Story soundtrack.

......and a velvety vest thing.

It's soft.

TODAY

Anna & Rachael & I walked to the music store.

Anna got some records:

-Grease soundtrack.

-The Rolling Stones

Rachael got Blondie.

erm....yeah.

that's it.

OH.

and I got asked if I was a "blood",

I was wearing a bright pink bandana

that apparently appeared red.

YEAH....I really look like a gang member.

SATs were today.

I bomb-diggity-bombed the math part.

Ahh....me & numbers don't mix too well.

My essay was stellar though.

I was both pretentiously annoying and mildly charming. =)

Anywhosit...I haven't been on my PC lately.

I was having sort of a technological aversion.

Meh...but it couldn't last too long.

I'm too conveniently addicted.

Err..this week was uneventful to the extreme.

Highlight?

-I bought "8 Mile" and that The Doors' movie for 10 dollars.

.Total.

God/Jesus/Allah/Buddha/Satan/whatever-the-hell-else-you-believe-in

bless Wal-Mart.

Oh...and I got "IV" by Chuck Klosterman (one of my favorite books) ON CD.

(as in, I can listen to it on my Ipod whenever I damn well please)

Attention: this man is the definition of RAD.

& his voice is just about as nasal and whiny as I expected.

Eh..I'm going to go take some predictably trite

pictures with my sister...

and then...

I'll probably go watch Eminem get in on

with Brittany Murphy.

....RAUNCHY.....

What are YOU going to do with today?

PARAMORE & JIMMY EAT WORLD
last night.

Mad.rad concert.

The opening band was
Dear & The Headlights.
Meh...they were so-so.

A typical, enjoyable La-Dee-Da band

Paramore was huge.
They are definitely a live band to be reckoned with.
Hayley Williams has a wicked stage presence and insane energy.
(Flash to me & my sister dancing like fools)They played all their big songs.
A thousand teenage girls screamed.

Jimmy Eat World was...sensational.

These are the songs we grew up on.

(I'm sentimental. Bite me.)

They put on one damn fine show.

They played classics ("The Middle""A Praise Chorus""Big Casino")

and some semi-new ones.

The quasi-highlight was "Hear You Me",

because of the emotion of the song.

I was standing in what had just been the mosh pit,

and some random guy grabbed my hand and held it up.

...and swayed.

Something about concerts makes me feel invincible.

Actual Highlight?

Crowdsurfing during "Pain".

.
God, I love concerts.

Oy Vey.

I am very disappointed.

Understatement,

I'm effing pissed off.

The Black Parade Is Dead!

was supposed to come out on April 22nd.

but NO.

It has been postponed until June 24th.

...To my best knowledge.

Grr.

{Listening To: "Hangover Song"- Say Anything}

Pound My Knuckles Hard Against The Ground.

2008-04-27T07:42:00.000-07:00

It's Been Awhile.

April 20th was the Bayside concert.

They were insanely rad.

Too bad nobody really cared about them.

It was mainly a The Starting Line crowd.

(Flash to me in the front row, dancing by myself like a fool)

Steel Train was first on the ticket.

I had never heard them before, and they were wicked.

Kind of like... Vampire Weekend...but more spastic.

Then there was Four Year Strong.

Meh...mediocre post-hardcore "screamo" band.

I do Love "Beatdown In The Key Of Happy" though.

I think I would have liked them better

if I hadn't been standing ON THE DAMN WOOFER.

Bayside after.

Oh man they're good.

Why have I not been listening to them for the past...eight years?

If you do not listen to them,

I HIGHLY recommend

picking up a copy of

"The Walking Wounded" (their 3rd {and latest} full-length album)

right now.

Higlight? "Blame It On Bad Luck". (mad vocals)

I left right after The Starting Line began.

I can't be made to care about yet another pop-rock band

that sound like every other pop-rock band.

LOL of the night?

The ridiculously skinny, neo-emo boy behind me

who shrieked like a little girl

when The Starting Line came on.

Make-Up Smeared Eyes.

2008-04-19T05:53:00.000-07:00

Kate Nash at Recher last night!

I'm 100 percent sure that she

is the most adorable human being in the world.

We got there pretty early, which was good

because within 30 min

of the doors opening, it was jam-packed

with girls in Kate Nash stlye dresses.

(flash to me in my black jeans & black t-shirt).

As it was, we were in about the 4th row.

The opening...band (?) was The Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players.

It was an odd looking family,

that went around to yard sales and collected peoples old picture slides.

Then they put them together and wrote song about the people in them.

It was possibly the most bizarre thing I have ever heard/seen/not wanted to see again.

They finished at 9:30.

Kate Nash didn't come on until 10:25.

Waiting was not too

damn fun.

At least it wasn't a hardcore concert.

No one was pushing or moshing.

Kat Nash was adorable, as stated before.

Her accent is the cutest thing ever.

The highlight was definitely 'Birds'.

& her "angry song" 'Model Behavior'.

She was screaming and jumping around.

The atmosphere at the Recher was great

because she could hear the audience really well,

and she kept blushing whenever someone yelled:

"You're so cute, Kate"

After her set, she left the stage

and she hadn't played 'Merry Happy' yet

so the entire crowd started

sing it, by themselves.

It was funny to hear the guy near me say 'bum'.

She came on after for a 3-song encore,

saving 'Merry Happy' for last.

It was rad.

The whole night was just so mellow.

Oh, and I woke up this morning with imprints

of Xs all over my face

because I had slept with my face on my hands

which still had the X of the underage crowd on it.

{Listening To: "Mariella"- Kate Nash}

Music On. World Off.

2008-04-15T15:58:00.000-07:00

Times are looking up, darlings.

The kid's gonna be all right.

I got tickets to Bayside.

Beyond perfect timing, by the way.

Right Now, My favorite albums are:

-"The Walking Wounded" by Bayside

-"The Black Parade" by My Chemical Romance

-"In Defense Of The Genre" by Say Anything

Now, there is a reason why the My Chem album is second.

NOT because it is not as good.

On the contrary, it is possibly the best album I have ever listened to.

It is second because it came out in 2006

and I have been listening to it non-stop ever since.

On the other hand, I have only become obsessed with

The Walking Wounded recently.

SO, I deem it worthy of first place. Right Now.

That probably didn't make the most sense.

I tend to do that.

Back to My Chemical Romance.

My total and utter obsession with this band

may be cause for concern.

I literally could soundtrack my entire life

to their songs. From love songs ("Demolition Lovers")

hospital songs ("Cancer")

the walking-alone-on-a-train-track song

("Early Sunsets Over Monroeville")

my funeral, carrying the coffin song

("Desert Song") and the funeral reception song

("Helena")

I'll stop before I embarrass myself.

NOT because I like My Chem (not ashamed at all)

but because I actually plan what my funeral reception

song will be.

{Listening To: "Kill All Your Friends"- My Chemical Romance}

It All Comes Down To A Sunrise On The East Side.

2008-04-12T14:47:00.000-07:00

SO...

AP Tour.

Like I said before,

Not such a big fan of the bands..

but it wasn't as irritating

as I thought it would be.

the club kind of looked like

the inside of an Abercrombie store.

...all short shorts and flip flops,

but I'm not one to judge.

And Sure, the best part of

Forever The Sickest Kids

was how adorable they were.

And Sure, Sonny's solo stuff is not that great...

But The Matches were beyond awesome.

(I lost my belt in the pit, don't ask me how.)

They're pretty freaking amazing live.

And The Rocket Summer wunderkind,
Bryce Avary is Pretty. Damn. Talented.
At one point, (using recording loops)
he played an entire song by himself.

All Time Low (headliners)

were...fun...jumpy...trite.

What you would expect.

All in all,
'twas better than staying home,
and blogging.
=)

{Listening To: "Brain Damage"- Pink Floyd}

Quoting Cinderella would be far too easy.

2008-04-10T18:52:00.000-07:00

And we all know,

that by Cinderella

I DO NOT mean of the Disney princess variety,

but rather a certain seminal,

glam rock, Eighties band.

Because they had it right.

The present is like a microscope.

You only see the details.

Every little motion seems huge.

Every bump in the road is disaster.

Every sad song and dim light

is reason for despair.

And then things change,

for better

for worse,

but they're different.

and you find yourself missing

the same situations you ran away from.

Because nothing is as bad as your current situation,

until you're in a different one.

and nobody is as irritating as the people you

see everyday,

until you don't see them anymore.

When you are no longer looking under the microscope,

everything blends a lot better.

You can almost forget the tears.

And as time goes on

and things get shittier and shittier,

your memory of the past gets better and better.

because you don't know what you've got,

'till it's gone.

{Listening To: "Beatdown In The Key Of Happy"- Four Year Strong}

Count Me In.

2008-04-09T11:52:00.000-07:00

AP Tour Tonight.

Rad. rad.

(Even though I'm not the biggest fan

of the bands playing...)

Oh well.

Live music is awesome.

P.S. School is my archnemesis. It's my Lux Luthur.

No, wait. It's my kryptonite.

God, I'm lame.

P.P.S. Today is Gerard Way's birthday. He's 31.

NOW, I will admit he's too old for me.

Oh yeah, and too married.

Somewhere Over Jason Castro.

2008-04-08T17:22:00.001-07:00

I truly did not mean for that

to sound as dirty

as it did.

Not that I would much mind.

ANYWAYS....

Jason Castro should win American Idol.

Who else can look so fucking adorable

playing the ukelele?

Then again,

David Cook is abso-goddamn-lutely

freaking awesome.

Even though the whole

writing "give back"on his hand

was a tad "emo-kid-on-youtube"

And also, Michael Johns is kind of a tool.

& who the hell remembers Kristie Lee Cook anyways?

& the Irish chick with the tattoos who sang Queen is pretty rad.

& David Arch-whatever is overrated.

Ok, I'm done judging other people,

because I have no life.

If I Told You This Is Killing Me, Would You Stop?

2008-04-06T20:59:00.000-07:00

The weekend is dead.

Over.

In a casket and 12 feet underground.

In 7 hours and 45 minutes

I will be sitting

in an ass-numbing chair,

pretending to care about the Electoral College.

which, FYI, I don't give a fuck about.

I am minorily ticked off right now,

for various reasons.

LIST OF GRIEVANCES:

- It is midnight & I still have homework, MEANING

- I will not get the recommended 8 hours of sleep tonight, SO

- I will be even more tired and pissed off tomorrow.

- I am sick and tired of all my music & have no desire to listen to any of it, YET

- During the day I have nothing to do BUT listen to music. and/or read.

- I hate, make that ABHOR, every last person at my school BECAUSE

- Everyone at my school is a shallow, ignorant, brain-dead, annoying, nasal douchebag.

(I tend to generalize)

Good (Fucking) Night.

Never Let Go Of That Cowboy Inside.

2008-04-03T18:35:00.000-07:00

I think there's a goverment conspiracy at work here.

& No,

I don't give a shit about aliens.

I think that people are obligated,

legally,

to say that high school was the

"Best Days of Their Life".

It's the only explanation.

There is absolutely, positively, sell-my-soul surely,

no way that THAT many people

were happy in high school.

High School is horrid.

& If you don't agree,

well...you're obviously stoned.

The Kids Don't Stand A Chance.

2008-04-03T17:17:00.000-07:00

Goddamnit.

It is now Nighttime

& I procrastinated my way to a disaster.

I have an obscene amount of homework.

Guess who's going to be up all night?

It's going to be a steady flow of mind wandering, caffeine & Pixie Stix.

Okay. No more procrastinating.

I'm going to go make a radtastic stay-awake-all-night Playlist

to listen to while I work.

Hold Your Tongue, Boy.

2008-03-30T17:43:00.000-07:00

You want to find out just how immature people can be?

Move away.

Then see just how damn long it takes for people to start talking shit.

Close Your Eyes. Pretend It's Where You Want To Be.

2008-03-28T18:21:00.000-07:00

Sigh.

I am midway through the torturous process

of dyeing my hair blonde.

It's at that awkward stage,

where it's an ungodly shade of orange.

& I think the bleach is killing my brain cells.

I bleached it twice.

I'm going to do it one or two more times tomorrow.

then, if it's not blonde by then,

I'm shaving my head.

No One Would Riot For Less.

2008-03-27T18:28:00.000-07:00

I had a dream last night.

:::DREAM:::

I was in this really wicked apartment in London. It had a grunge feel. Kind of a bohemian, nonchalant thing. I was sitting on the couch watching TV. Sannaka was sitting next to me. Maybe we weren't watching TV, because I remember there was music playing. It was "Banana Pancakes"., by Jack Johnson. Babs was in the kitchen, which wasn't really a separate room. She was making Banana pancakes. Then, we all sat outside on a balcony, overlooking London, eating our pancakes.

....Then I woke up.

Random Wanderings.

- I am undergoing an identity crisis. SO, I decided to dye my hair platinum blonde. I guarantee that it will make me look like some trashy relic from the Courtney Love kinderwhore era. But I couldn't care less. I have noone to impress here.

- Having no friends is not as bad as I thought it would be. Well it is. But I don't mind being alone as much as I thought I would. When you have noone to talk to, you end up talking to yourself alot & I am not an interesting person to talk to.

- I'm teaching myself to play guitar. It makes me happy. I can just sit & play for hours & not even realize. It distracts my mind from the afore-mentioned fact that I have no friends here.

Okay, I'm really not pathetic as I make myself sound.

It's a literary device.

Another Day Late & One Year Older.

Birthdays Suck.

They are depressing reminders that we all

get old & die.

& Best of all,

I spent it without friends.

& I was able to ponder on my sorry

disposition.

I hate it in Maryland.

it's cold.

it's suburbia.

it's ugly.

it sucks.

I miss city life.

I miss the lights.

I miss walking downtown until 3am.

I miss smoking in the park & watching the passerby.

I miss riding the subway.

I miss....

Maybe it'd just be easier to say what I don't miss.

..................

See, that WAS easier.

Birthdays Suck.

End of discussion.

Tequila Body Shots vs. Reality TV

2008-03-21T18:20:00.000-07:00

First off,

Don't. watch. Beowulf.

It has the worst first 10 minutes of all the movies I've seen in the last 5 years.

and that's alot.

I'm a filmophile.

AND since it's 3D Sims style,

you don't even get to see the real Angelina Jolie naked.

Just her Sim.

I really can't tell you any more about it,

because I left after the 3rd scene.

Today was semi-productive.

While 100 million teenagers

lying to their parentals and partying on to Tijuana

for SPRING BREAK!!!

(I think you're legally obligated to always scream those words),

I sat around in my pjamas all day.

Here is what I achieved:

- Re-read Umbrella Academy comic book series.

- Draw various scenes from the above comic.

- Fall asleep laying on our dining room table, listening to Bright Eyes (the table was in the sun)

- Watch all of cycle 8(?) of America's Next Top Model (The Jaslene one)

- Get my driving privileges taken away by the parentals. Apparently, saying "F***ing B***h" is not appropriate.

....Yeah. That's pretty much it.

Pshh.... you can have your tequila body shots,

STDs & drunk frat boys.....

I'll take my comics, indie music & reality TV marathons any day.

The Technicolor Parade: Update

2008-03-19T17:03:00.000-07:00

Our technicolor candy parade won 4th place.

Hell Yes.

We each grabbed a prize.

Even though I think we were only supposed to get one

per team.

Prize= 20$ at Bean Hollow (raddest coffe shop in this shittown)

Then we just left.

We left our parade there.

The rabid little kids

with plastic forks

can ravage it all they want.

I choose not to partake

in that germ orgy.

----25 notecards left to do for tomorrow-----

I'm off.

The Technicolor Parade

2008-03-17T18:48:00.000-07:00

Edible Art Show on Wednesday.

Allow me to explain.

Actually, scratch that.

It's pretty damn self-explanitory.

We made a parade today.

The sidewalks are grahm crackers.

The spectators are gummi bears.

The floats are cakes.

There's also a gummi bear marching band.

They have hats.

It's rad.

You should really see it.

Live.

Underculture.

2008-03-17T18:37:00.000-07:00

Underculture is not actually a word.

Look it up.

Type it into google.

All you get is 100 million myspace pages

for some band named

UnderCULTure.

apparently they sound like the Sex Pistols.

I'll take their word for it.

Back to my main point.

It SHOULD be a word.

I can't think of any word more appropriate

to decribe a whole array

of gritty, dirty

mementos of a desolate

and morally decadent society.

Can you?
