...you know, I keep trying to post more, and I'll type something up, but then I don't post it and I wait so long that I have to rewrite half of it because it's no longer valid. Whoops. XD

Blah blah blah )

So basically, things are generally going pretty well at the moment. I'll probably be singing another tune in a month when I'm trying to write four different research papers, but eh. XD

☁ Finished Hana Kimi. SO CUTE. *_* Now I can concentrate on other things.

Cut for bra/size talk~ )

☁ I own shorts for the first time in my adult life. Granted, they're to my knees so they're not particularly short, but still. Kind of strange. I'm not thrilled with the idea of wearing shorts, but it beats being downtown in the middle of June with a zillion people in JEANS. And dresses are just. So not me. XD I also found sandals that I don't totally hate and FIT for the first time in a few years. Mmm, Earth shoes. So comfy. <3

This is totally awesome. Not only did a MtF transgirl run for prom queen- SHE WON. I can't even imagine having that kind of bravery in high shool. Wow. She looks absolutely stunning in the photo, too. Good for her! (As you might expect, don't read the comments, you'll lose all faith in humanity.)

☁ Also, a Chinese woman became the first Chinese person to ever win a Grand Slam singles title. Not that I have any interest in tennis whatsoever aside from the animated cracky physics defying kind, but still pretty cool! :D

March 16, 2006------ Concert stuff and regression to a thirteen year old
Mom amused me by telling Kelly and I that she looked up Fall Out Boy. LMAO. As if she’d listen to them, ever. Her only comment was “God, they’re ugly!”... to which Kelly and I had to agree. Naturally. Because as much as I like the band... they really are.

Okay, so the concert was... TOTALLY FUCKING AWESOME! I was so scared that it wouldn’t be, and that it would turn out to be sucky and make me feel like crap for doing this for Kelly’s birthday, but... I really didn’t have to worry about it. The opening band was called The Hush Sound... they were cool. Had a bit of a 50's style to them, and yet at the same time it was the complete opposite of the 50's style. I don’t know quite how to explain it, but they were good. Out of the five bands that played, there was only one that we didn’t like (I swear to God, it was screaming the entire time... From First to Last, I think the band was. They were scary.)... Hawthorne Heights was good (I was a little worried after the previous band, but it ended up okay). They admitted to us being the largest crowd they’d played to, which was cool- “This is the biggest show we’ve done, so thanks for paying attention to us.” All American Rejects surprised me in that they played “Swing, Swing”, which is one of my favorite songs by them, but I wasn’t expecting them to play it because it’s from, like, five years ago. But they did. Yay. Fall Out Boy themselves were absolutely fantastic, involving the whole theater in the performance- even those of us in the nosebleed section. Actually, they kept checking on our section, “Hey, how are you guys doing back there?” or “We used to go to shows like this all the time... it’s a little weird playing one, actually... and we always had the shittiest seats...” Their energy was just fucking incredible, and there was fire on the stage and everything. Awesome. Although the smoke made me start coughing, which was SO not cool. The singer even addressed the whole nude photo thing- “Who saw me naked on the internet last week?” *lots of screaming* “Yeah, I really need to be more careful of the kind of pictures I do and where they end up.” (lol... you think?) One thing I noticed, though... you think I swear a lot? That was nothing compared to this guy. Sheesh. It bothered me a little just because I know that there were some youngish kids there (I swear, these two kids in front of us were probably all of eleven or twelve. And their chaperones didn’t really look all that happy about the whole thing.), and the profuse swearing in front of kids just bothers me. *Shrugs* It just surprised me a bit that they would allow that. Kelly and I left just a couple of songs early, mostly because Kelly has a test in the morning and it was getting toward 11 pm, but partially because we knew Erin was waiting and we felt bad. And we wanted to find Kevin and Jess and get t-shirts before the mob came. We actually found them by chance... Kelly got a pink American Rejects shirt and I got a FOB one with the tour info in it (mostly, I just wanted the tour info stuff)... should’ve been $45, but I paid $20 (whee! It was like getting Kelly’s for free!), and Jess is going to bring the shirts with her to work tomorrow. Yay. She’s my new favorite person. *Squee* We finally found Erin and ended up going to Denny’s for a bite. All in all... it was a great night. Even the migraine from hell I’ve got right now isn’t really bothering me as much as it normally would, just because I’m still psyched.

So basically, I’m the cool sister now because I just gave her the best fucking birthday present EVER and she even admitted to it. Ha. The first concert for both of us was a smashing success. Yay! And now I have strict instructions from Erin to try to find out if/when Simple Plan is playing in Albany... I laughed at her. “Do you have ANY idea how much those tickets are going to cost?” “I don’t care.” Ooooookay, Erin. They’d be an absolute fucking fortune. Hell, Bon Jovi was almost $90 per ticket... I’m not sure if they’d price Simple Plan around that or not. Hrmph.



Music: Sugar. We’re Going Down by Fall Out Boy (of course)

You know that feeling, a few seconds before you orgasm, that your body suddenly goes from “Oh my god that feels so good” to “Oh my god I need to come RIGHT NOW” ? .... has anybody else ever gotten that... not during sex? As in, doing something completely mundane that isn’t even a slight turn on? It just happened to me a little bit ago. I was sitting playing Suikoden, and all of a sudden... bam. There it was. The thing is, it’s a feeling that’s distinctly different from horny. I’m familiar with horny. This was just... “I need to orgasm right fucking now or I’m going to die.” It’s horny on a kamikaze mission. Seriously intense, and it didn’t even have the decency to go away after the inevitable orgasm- I think I came three or four times before the feeling subsided, though I’m not completely sure about that because my memory of the last half hour or so is a little bit fuzzy. Go figure. The only thing I can think of right now is that I’m SO glad this didn’t happen while I was at work... that would’ve been... extremely NOT GOOD.

Current Music: “Wonderful” by Everclear (I’ve had Everclear stuck in my head all day)

The bad news: I'm still sick. Oh, and my little friend decided to visit as of Monday. The good news: I'm not as sick as I was, it's mostly down to a sore throat and a little coughing now. And the cramps are gone.

Regression to age 15 beginning...
Fall Out Boy concert in a little more than twelve hours! *squee* Kelly and I will both have cameras of the film (hers) and digital (mine) variety, so if I get any decent ones I'll probably put them up at some point. The best part about this? It turns out that Kevin and Jess are working the Pepsi for this (they work the booths, you know, where they sell all the insanely priced stuff)- and Jess said that if we find them, they can give us 50% off on whatever we want. Yay! Looks like we're going to have to make a point of finding them...
Returning to appropriate age...

Sorry, I just couldn't help myself. Besides, the more I'm squeeing about that, the more chance there is of my brain finally realizing that I'm quickly running out of time and to kick into gear. I have laundry to do (because I have no clothes whatsoever). I need a shower (because I smell, and I know it). I need to pack my purse with essentials for tomorrow (today, technically... I need to do this shortly because I know I'm going to forget something major, and this way I'm leaving myself enough time to rectify that. Otherwise I'll be kicking myself in the ass for days). I need to charge batteries for my camera, and get all my photography shit together. I need to get money out for possible momento buying (I'm limiting myself to $100, which is entirely too much, but I don't plan on spending all of it... and even if I do, I don't think I'll care as long as I go home with something really cool). I need to GO THE HELL TO BED at some point. That, of course, being on the bottom of the priority list ;)

As a complete change of subject (and to further my blatant procrastination)... a semi-entry I wrote yesterday:
Strange, how watching a movie can spur time travel in your brain. I'm sitting here watching The Last Unicorn, one of my favorite movies as a kid (which still has the most gorgeous soundtrack, by the way) and suddenly I'm eight years old again, sitting on the floor of my room in front of an ancient black and white 13 inch tv. And it feels so damn real, like I'm ACTUALLY sitting there. Extremely weird.

Is it just me, or are Mommy Fortuna and the harpy bits just a little bit too scary for kids to be watching?

On a fun note, this is a bootlegged copy of the movie when fox aired it some weekend along with Pretty Piggies and Yogi's First Christmas (it was some marathon or something)... the commercials are just so entertaining. Just to give you an idea on the dating of this recording: The Pepsi Arena was still the Knickerbocker Arena. There are previews for "Parker Lewis Can't Lose", "ALF", "Perfect Strangers", "Star Trek: The Next Generation", and "The Gambler: The Adventure Continues". The Long John Silver commercial with the holiday stemware was running (I used to love that one), and of course, the "I'm Sorry" Bounty commercials. *LMAO* Kelly and I used to sing that one to each other when one of us got the other pissed, which was often.

Random Quotes from the Movie:
-"There are no happy endings because nothing ends."
-"Oh my god, I'm engaged to a Douglas Fir."
-"Do something!"
"What can I do, you think the Red Bull likes card tricks?"
-"I am a bearer, I am a dwelling, I am a messenger-"
"You are an idiot!"
----------------------------
Alright, I'm off to maybe do some of those things I need to do. *ugh* I'll hopefully be back Thursday/Friday with news of the concert and pictures, as I won't be able to get on the computer Wednesday. Later!

Best line of the day: "Focus on one thing? One artistic goal? As. in. concentrate. for. more. than. 20. sec- oh look, a shiny thing. *wanders off* (From Chershirecaticus on DeviantArt)

Who I Am Hates Who I've Been by Relient K

I watched the proverbial sunrise
coming up over the Pacific and
you might think I'm losing my mind,
but I will shy away from the specifics...
'cause I don't want you to know where I am
'cause then you'll see my heart
in the saddest state it's ever been.
This is no place to try and live my life.

[Pre-Chorus]
Stop right there. That's exactly where I lost it.
See that line. Well I never should have crossed it.
Stop right there. Well I never should have said
that it's the very moment that
I wish that I could take back.

[Chorus]
I'm sorry for the person I became.
I'm sorry that it took so long for me to change.
I'm ready to try and never become that way again
'cause who I am hates who I've been.
Who I am hates who I've been.

I talk to absolutely no one.
Couldn't keep to myself enough.
And the things bottled inside have finally begun
to create so much pressure that I’ll soon blow up.
I heard the reverberating footsteps
sinking up to the beating of my heart,
and I was positive that unless I got myself together,
I would watch me fall apart.
And I can’t let that happen again
‘cause then you’ll see my heart
in the saddest state it’s ever been.
This is no place to try and live my life.

[Pre-Chorus x2]

[Chorus]

Who I am hates who I've been
and who I am won’t take the second chance you gave me.
Who I am hates who I’ve been
‘cause who I’ve been only ever made me...

So sorry for the person I became.
So sorry that it took so long for me to change.
I’m ready to try and never become that way again
‘cause who I am hates who I’ve been.
Who I am hates who I’ve been.


(Sad thing is... I'm still at the "who I've been" part...)
