question of the day

Lets figuritvely say you had 50 dollars to spend would you:

A. Buy these

AAAAAAAAANNNDDDDDD

Get to see one of yo favorite bands perform all the songs off their newest album, and buy cool merch?

ORRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

B.

Buy these bad-ass shoes, but have to chip in 50 extra bucks, though you'll probably be wearing them the REST OF YOUR LIFE.

*EDITZZZZ*

my mornings are a blissful hamony of unkept hair, bags under my eyes, and 4 cups of Starbucks home brew
I am so unattractive and I enjoy it

JAMES' HOUSE TONIGHT FOR A NEW YEARS PARTY!

he built an ice rink in his yard, and if its anything like last year, this will be one festive randevous.

Did I mention his mom got a disco ball for the rink, and a new set of holiday dinner plates? GO KAREN!

"I feel like I make up for my lack of a tortured adolescence by being an incredibly strange person." - Maddie D.

Pretty much sums up my life.

EXAMPLE NUMERO UNO: In speech class we did impromptu speeches, and the question I got was "What has been your most well-valued life lesson."
I stood up at the front of the class like WTF, and started rambling on about how I'm really "booring" to the people I was speaking in front of on account of my lack of drug use and alcohol I've consumed. I'm not ashamed to be a ~clean person. Yeah, I've had as many chances to do bad stuff as the rest of the class has -- I've gotten drugs/alcohol/cigarettes shoved in my face, and then put on a guilt trip by the offerers because I wouldn't do them -- but in doing so, I've become a stronger person than them. I can say no and stand my ground and feel confidant.

*side note*
Some of my friends do drugs, and I'm okay with that. It doesn't change my views on that person. I tell them they need to do something about it, but I don't get all preechy on them. Its not my job to change people -- to change the world. Thats their decision, I can't make something like that for them.
Same goes for whomever I marry. I could care less if they've done drugs. (Of course I wouldn't marry someone who is still a drug-user haha) but I fell in love with THAT person. Which means they had to do drugs to become the person I fell in love with. I dunno, thats just how I think. I don't care who you were, I just care about who you are now. (that sounds like a Backstreet Boy lyric haha)

NUMERO DOS: Another speech class example, I was asked who my best friend was. I said it was Maddie, and we met online.
Now normally, when you think about "meeting people online" you get this crazy-grose image of a fat guy sitting at his computer in some run-down appartment jacking off to the cyber sex the victim is giving. If not, HAHAH OH WELL, NOW YOU DO. Thats what my dad thought at least. He wasn't too thrilled when I told him I met a "girl" online and that I wanted to get a web-cam to talk to "her".
BLAH BLAH BLAH long story short -- Maddie is my twin and lives in Rhode Island.
I told the class that I went to stay at her house for 4 days last summer and the increasing WTFs from the class continued, but whatever. Everyone in this town has brains that are too small to comprehend anything outside their hunting zone.
They are just jealous cause they use their computers for myspace and doing homework.

So whatever yeah haha

*another side note*
Jake needs to quit thinking I want him back, cause there's no chance of it. He needs to quit calling me immature, cause he's the one getting into petty fights with his "friends" and making big deals out of nothing publicly on twitter. I hate to admit, it was amusing at first, but now it's annoying.
Jake -- you're pretty awesome, but please stop acting like I want you. Just because I was nice to you doesn't mean I've in love with you or something :I

Earlier this year my grade took this Plan Test thing that gave us an idea on how we'd do on our SAT/ACTs, and today I got called down to the Guidence Office to talk to the guidence counselor about my ~future carreer goals and such (probably so they could tell you that you suck at science, tharefore would be the worst doctor in the world -- so basically crush your dreams haha)

Anyways, I go in her office and she's all smiley (like usual) and talks to me about what I'm looking to do for a carreer.

When I tell her art its like the little wheels in her brain start turning cause she suddenly remembers me comig in earlier this year to drop Spanish (which is a required class if you wanna get into a 4 year college) so she skips the scores all together and starts talking to me about where I wanna go (CalArts, MCAD) and what I wanna do with a carreer in art (animate or storyboard for Disney). She says she doesn't put it past me, she knows I'm a driven person and that I will probably end up there.

She told me I didn't need to take the ACT/SAT which is COOL! :D (though I probably will, just in case haha)

She said that I was the only one she's had so far that actually had a FULL plan, she was proud of me and said that she'd make sure I'd take advanced art/independent study art next year, and we'd have my portfolio done by the end of my junior year so we could start to send it out.

I'm so excited. I get shivers whenever I think about going to art school. I'm proud of myself, and I'm excited to learn as much as I can <3

my 12 year old self...

Mon, 14 Dec 2009 02:38:04 GMT

If my 12 year old self saw who I was today they'd [I'd?] be pretty freaked out :I

I would have never imagined being myself today. When I was 12 I was the typical Abercrombie and Fitch middle schooler with no direction in life and a strive to fit in. If I saw who I was today, I guarentee that I'd cry and wonder why I look so stupid and different from everyone else.

If we talked to eachother, I'd tell myself to not listen to the girls that I thought were my friends. I'd tell myself to do my own thing, and believe in what I wanted. I'd explain the amazing people I was to meet and the expirences that shouldn't be seen through a camera lense.

I love my life. I really don't think it could be better. <333

I'm so excited for my future! :D I'm gonna do great stuff oneday, and I wish my future self could tell me what to look forward to.

atl recap <3

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 19:29:48 GMT

UGHHHH SO AMAZINNNGGGGG

We got to the venue and the line was so long it ran all the way down the side of the building and to the back 2 blocks down
IT WAS SO COLDDDDDD (as I'm typing now I'm blowing my nose cause I got a cold from standing out there for an hour)

I remember when we were by this alley way, I was talking to my friends and stuff and I hear this guy behind me say "Hey, 'scuse me! Sorry!" and I turn around and it's the dummer from We The Kings <3333 I flipped a tit and then about 5 minutes later Jack Barakitty and Alexander Gaskarth (singer/guitarist for ATL) were behind me, and I passed out a little bit. I yelled their names and they turned around and waved at me and walked to their tour bus for something.

We all got into the venue at 6 and it was so pretty inside

For most of the concert I was up by the right column closest to the stage <3

IT WAS SO PACKED HOLY SHIZ! I couldn't move at all and I was getting freaked out cause the whole crowd would shift and you felt like you were gonna fall over but you coudln't cause there was too many people. At one point Danica fell down on the ground and people were stepping on her and I had to help her up before she died. :I

One thing that kinda sucked was that all my other friends besides me and Hannah were at the VERY front and got to touch Jack and stuff but I stayed back cause I promised my parents that I wouldn't leave anyone behind (by anyone, I mean Hannah) She was obviously VERY uncomfortable. She's a VERY strait-edged religous kind of a person and whenever they swore or anything she looked like she was about to puke or something. I would feel guily when who ever was playing would talk about "putting my hands under all your shirts and feeling your boobies" and I would laugh and scream. Hannah went for We The Kings and I think it was a big disappointment for her cause I think she expected them to be really proper and not tell the crowd about how awesome "sexual intercourse" is.

Whatever, I still had fun, even though some guy was humping me and stole 30 dollars from my pocket and I smelled like pot.

SPEAKING OF GROPING:
When Abi was up front some guy tried making out with her and a guy put his hand down her shirt/inside her bra and was feeling up her boob :I she couldn't do anything about it cause it was too crowded to move her arms. Poor bb.

Jack Barakitty and Alexander

Cassidy Pope from Hey Monday

Alexander and Zachary

One thing I liked about this concert is that there was no excessive fangirling. It was soooo different than the Jonas Brothers. Like when the drummer from WTK and Alex and Jack from ATL walked by, people just waved and stuff, no one attacked them. It was nice.
Their show wasn't scripted like JBs either. I LOVED that. They just did whatever they wanted. No one said their rehearsed speech about diabetes, or jumped over microphones.
Instead, people would throw bras up on stage and Jack would make fun of them. At one point in the show Alex told the security to get the letter some chick was begging them to take. It was written for Jack and it said "When I turn 14 I wanna make out with you." he got so flustered and laughed, it was the cutest thing ever <3

I really don't want to go to another big venue show again. They're fun, but they're not that personal. ATL was a real concert, and I loved it so much <33333

If it's me personally, I'd put in various albums that I listen to a lot, one of my sketchbooks, and a few of my clothes like cardigans, scarves, shoes, etc.

Both my parents have created a sort of "time capsule" in our basement. We have boxed of their most ~treasured stuff like my mom's Pee Wee Herman doll and my dad's NUMEROUS amounts of vintage concert teeshirts.

I'm OBSESSED with my dad's concert shirt collection <3 he was so into the 80s hairbands and stuff back in the 80s. Theres 5 kiss shirts, some Led Zepplin ones, tons of Ratt and his favorite, The Scorpions. I'm so jealoussssss. BUT I GET TO WEAR THEM SO ITS ALL GOOD :D

So Jake started talking to me again, and said he liked me and stuff but ~wants to take it slow. I don't even want to have a relationship with him again, I just wanna be really good friends with him like we used to be. (cause lets face it, whatever we had wasn't too relationship-y)
I try talking to him, and it seems like he doesn't wanna talk to me :/ I dunno, I'm probably over analizing the situation, but I just want things to go back to how they were where I was comfortable around him and we could just talk about nothing and I'd be entertaining.

Theres tons of stuff I wanna say, but I don't wanna tell the world about it so it just ends up being bottled up inside me and I end up thinking about it all night and can't get any sleep.

I guess I just miss him. I don't really know why, I just do.

Has your idea of the perfect romantic partner changed with age? Do you think we can teach ourselves to desire partners who are better for us or are we constrained by the laws of attraction?

FIRST OF ALL:
If you think I'm skipping days, I am. Some of the questions are stupid ones like, "How are you using technology to prepare for your thanksgiving feast?" WTFFFF what am I even suppose to say for that?!

Since I'm the kind of person that likes to engourge themselves with food stuffs, I'd have to say the power to conjure up any food I wanted with my mind.

Maybe this is the fact that I haven't had lunch yet and I'm starving.

ADD:
I forgot how much I love the movie The Wedding Singer. I don't like Adam Sandler, but in this movie, he's not obnoxious, just sweet <3 I want a guy like Robbie. Drew Barrymore is looooveeeee

HARDEST QUESTION OF MY LIFE :I

I seriously would die if I had to answer that. I have 3000+ songs on my ipod TOO MUCHHHH
There isn't like...one album I own that has like...the ULTIMATE songs :(

A better explination because I'm so ADD right now and ~flustered

Every. Single. One. Of my songs has meaning to me. I know how old I was when I bought the songs, what I did when I listened to them, how they made me feel, how they helped me when I was having a bad day, where I first heard of the band, etc.

If I had to only pick one album, that'd be like picking out only one child and forgetting the rest :I UNACCEPTABLE

RANDOM LIFE NEWS:

We started a new quarter in school and junk so I've got some new classes (no art, poopie) and I have speech class (self-explanitory) and its SO FUNNNNN!!!!!!!
I dunno why, but I'm really comfortable with makng speaches. This is highly unusual because everytime I've tried to present something in class or something, I always freeze up and shake.
I'm the only one in my class I think who doesn't care if they make a fool of themselves in front of everyone. Like yesterday when we had to stand and say someting about ourselves. Everyone said something along the lines of "I play *insert generic sport here*" or "My favorite color is *blahblah*" When they got to me I said proudly, "I like mustaches!" and sat down.
Today though we had to do basically the same thing, but we had to go up to the podium at the front of the class. Wile kids talked about their favorite seasons, I said "I like Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter because she carries meat around in her purse."
Next week we have to give a deminstration speech, and I'm doing "How To Style Your Mustache"
LOLOOLOLOL I LOVE BEING WEIRD

Do you think romantic chemistry is instant or evolving? Have you ever given someone a second (or third) chance and lived to regret it? Have you ever fallen in love with someone you didn't particularly like or desire at first?

View 1141 Answers

Evolving. I don't believe in love at first sight, I believe in "HO MUH GAWD THAT GUY IS CUUUTEEEEE cometalktomeplease" (aka me with gay people)

I haven't had a relationship that I've given another chance (lets all take note here people: I've only been in one relationship, and that was a bust) I supoose when I think of second chances it'd be talking again. Not texting, talking to my face. Make an effort.

I have never been in love, so I dunno how to answer that last part. I hear its cool though. I guess its that swirly feeling you get in your stomach that feels like theres fish swimming around inside you. (I get that, but only when I see people like Neil Patrick Harris AKA MORE GAY PEOPLE)

ALSO: I need to quit being to shy when it comes to boys :( I'm been used to people thinking I'm weird/nerdy and someone you wouldn't wanna be seen with. Awesome. I have no problem talking to boys that are my friends and stuff, but when it comes to people that I like, I freeze up and get all awkward like I would in front of the class. I start talking really fast and my voice gets all wobbly, and my legs shake :(
ONE MO THING: I wish boys would just tell you they liked you instead of being all scared and sending you weird mixed signals. That last part sounds cliche, but its true.
