The Dark Knight

so i saw the dark knight the other day.
it was FANTASTIC
like the best movie ever. well... not ever. i still think Anastasia is better. (did i tell you i got Anastasia on DVD for christmas?!!) no... dark knight is better than that.
sorry Anastasia.
and Heath Ledger is like SOOO good as the Joker. kinda really creepy. loves it when he dresses like the nurse.
he'd better get an Oscar. was he only supporting actor though? because Batman is the lead?
are the Oscar nominations out yet? i don't think so... there's just buzzzz

one question::: why in god's name it batman talk like that?!! wtf! it was distracting.


my point exactly.

NEW MOON

STEPHANIE MEYER

book after Twilight.

so i don't know if i'll ever love these books. i'm starting to think it's just how she writes. which is fine, lots of people love the Saga, and i do enjoy it, but i don't love them.

it was real addicting though, kinda.

this book is more about Jacob Black and his family and stuff. Warning: Edward isn't in this one very much.

that movie is going to not be good.

So yeah, New Moon is good, but it's not great. neither was Twilight. idk. i'm like number 81 (checked yesterday) in line for Eclipse, so it'll be a while. but just like last week i was 98. so it's movin' fast i guess.

i think i liked this more than Twilight though. Sister liked Twilight better.

and it changed my mind about Jacob. before i thought he was SO annoying and i was totally Team Edward, but now i really like jake. idk what team i am now! he seems nice. nicer than edward for causing bella all these issues.

robert pattinson cut his hair

is the world prepaired?

i think i can hear preteen girls all over the universe crying.

they'll get over it, he's still hot.

EVERLOST

NEAL SHUSTERMAN

another book by mr. shusterman. he's good. but i started reading a different book by him and i didn't like it so i stopped, which i NEVER do, but i did it. uh oh.

Everlost is about lost souls, who like don't make it to heaven, so they're stuck on earth as ghosts kinda...

and there's the scary like all powerfull guy the McGill. and Mary Hightower, who's like the queen of Afterlights (the souls). oh yeah, they're all kids, because adults always know where they're going, so they don't get lost. (that's what neal says).

this book was actually very good. and it's not that long, but it seems long, idk why... because a lot of stuff happens? it's got a lot of story lines and stuff. but it's not confusing at all.

BIG BONED

MEG CABOT
third book in the Heather Wells series.
these books are sooooo goood i love them love them. this time heather finds her boss dead in his office chair where he has been shot in the head. poor bloke.
so then of course heather gets into the middle of things. even though cooper tells her not too. ohhh cooper. and omg the end! are you kidding me? gahhh it's good.
and gavin is there of course. he's the only reason i like these books, swear to god... well, no, they're funny too... but i think gavin's still kinda in love with heaher but then he starts making out with that girl...
hmmm...
anyway, yeah read it. is she writing more of these? i hope so

THE LOVELY BONES

ALICE SEBOLD
another classic american literature. wait, is it? idk, i thought it was famous but maybe it's not...
'sabout... Suzie who dies a horrible terrible death. so sad.
and then she's like in heaven and watches her family for like a lot of years. i kinda didn't like that... how it was like over such a long time.
but it was still very good
the guy who killed her is a creeeeep to like the 10th degree.

SCHOOL BOY HUMOR

CAMERA SHY BUT STILL A STAR - EP
i could not for the life of me find an album pic
this is like one of my new favorite bands ever
SO GOOOODDDDDDD
songs
CAMERA SHY my favy so far. really really good. good like vocal runs (?) idk. SBH reminds me a lot of Forever the Sickest Kids (they have the same producer too). just like their sound and stuff. plus they have some really good harmonies, nearly as good as Mayday Parade (seriously, did you notice that MP is like the BOSS of vocal harmonies? forealz!)
CHEATING MYSELF "uh oh uh oh he's still watching, and oh no oh no, she's undressing... him with her eyes" i really like this song, good keyboard parts. very FTSK i think.
EVERYONE WHO BREATHES more rock than the others (which seemed more punk/poppy). i really like when the higher pitched voice comes in (happens in the other songs too). the harmonies are great. the lead singer's name is Caleb, which is pretty close to Cable. lol...
REALIZE (Colbie Colait cover) better than the original. i love when "bands" (lol) do covers of popular songs on the radio. they're always better than the popular one. this one is really good, it's faster, louder, idk. just better than colbie's kinda cheesy version.

overall, VERY good new band. the EP was just released in november (they released an independent one in 2006 but you can't even FIND that anywhere...). they're kind of a mix of FTSK, maybe MP, and something else... can't put my finger on it... Motion City? idk...
you tell me!

MAE ((please read this or at least skim i love mae))

THE EVERGLOW
so i got like five of these songs a real long time ago and i recently got the complete album. and i got like 10 songs for $5. what a deal!!!
PROLOG. scary. it's like this lady talking and welcoming you to the cd. it's crazy.
WE'RE SO FAR AWAY. sad. i think. it's the piano one that i like so much. and it reminds me of camp for some reason. made me sad after camp. good way to start the cd too.
oh. and remember that most of the songs fade into the next one. except like on the last half... that's weird.
SOMEONE ELSE'S ARMS. this is like... louder? rockier? idk. i love it
SUSPENSION. probably still mah favorite on the album. SO GOOD.
THIS IS THE COUNTDOWN. not in my top, but still very very good. hell... all of them are good.
PAINLESS. it's hard to describe this... deff more rock but only kinda. sounds good.
THE OCEAN. this is like my current obsession song. sinse it changes all the time. i love this song, great chorus, great verse.
BREAKDOWN not one of my favorites but it's still kinda catchy
MISTAKES WE KNEW WE WERE MAKING one of the best. soo good. except for that weird last minute with like the repeating part about the list. but it's still so good and the lyrics are really good.
COVER ME starts kinda creepy. idk. like it's a weird voice thing. but it's then one of my new favs. i think... yeah, i like it
THE EVERGLOW. another new favy. soo good. "i think that we've got what it takes, to get this heart to start beating again." idk, great.
READY AND WAITING TO FALL. agian not a favy but it's just okay
ANYTHING. sister's favy. it's real good, i gotta give her that.
THE SUN AND THE MOON. so long! it's like 8 minutes, i can't listen to the whole thing ever. it's mostly instrumental too.
EPILOGUE. creepy. just scary. gosh...
i've been working on this for almost 2 months. yikes. didya read it?

wrestling

just got back from a big-ole wrestling meet
i don't get wrestling, i think it's scary and i bit pointless
plus, it looks like me and my sister fighting over the remote. there's like no specific things to do! i just don't get it!
and then this guy was yelling "eraser!" and of course i had no idea what that meant...
so i yelled "pencil!"
and then magazine, white out, stapler, stuff like that
other intimidating office supplies.

oh, and SOMEONE'S brother has ABS.
lol

p.s. not mine, i don't have one, but the SOMEONE just sounds like i'm really saying MYMYMYMY. you know?

i need to go to bed now...

mah new favorite christmas songs!

oh mah god

santa stole my girlfriend
by the maine
best song ever soooo funny.
calling santa an old fat man. and a bitch LOL
"santa you bitch, didn't get a damn thing on my christmas list"
BEST

ho ho hopefully
by the maine
sooo goood but i don't like the new version as much as i like the one on youtube

...And A Happy New Year EP
COMING DECEMBER 9

THAT'S IN 4 DAYS!

202

this is post 202!!!

i was gonna be all excited for 200, but i kind of did it and didn't realize what number it was...
whoops

but this is still exciting, right?

what i'm going to do when i grow up

i still have no idea
but i'm thinking of a lot of things that sound like fun.
first off, the most obvious, probably the one i want to do most because it makes the most sense to me::

a catcher in the rye
(you know, to catch the kids as they run through the rye feild so they don't run off the edge of the cliff)
(you know, like Holden)
plausible?

OR a film major in college just like Gavin McGoren because i love that kid and they probably have crazy parties. i'm gonna be just like him. except without the goateeeee (sp?)

OR an english major like Suzie's mom in the lovely bones. idk how that will ever help me get a real job ever, because i'm NOT going to teach... but i'd get to read my way through college...

thoughts?
COMMENT QUESTION: what do you want to do when you grow up?

top chef .... 5?

is it season five already?
who knows...
so i'm kinda watching but not really.
and i saw the first episode (the beginning) and i picked Patrick to win just because he was the first boy i saw that talked kinda gay. i hope he was... but idk. there was a lesbian and gay boy and they formed "team rainbow". maybe patrick's not gay....

but it doesn't matter because Patrick had to pack his knives in that very first episode!

i'm losing my ability to pick winners now!
it's all from my defeat on ANTM11 when McKey won instead of Analeigh. i hate that girl, i hate her with all my being!

on it's way

so i know i haven't been doing this a lot, and i have a lot of stuff to write about
i'm tryin!

books:
the lovely bones
big boned

albums from:
mae (i've been working on this for like a month, it's real hard and it's soo long, but it's a great album, so i'm doing it. i think)
all time low (so good)
jack's mannequin (so good too)

all the albums are freakin good ones, so i'll have to write about them sometime
i think i got too many at the same time. and i read too fast.

so yeah, stay tuned

UNWIND

NEAL SHUSTERMAN
it's by the same guy that wrote Schwa!

this book was SO good. like one of the best. really good.

and good for those political ones, because it takes place in a future post Hartland War, in which the pro-life and pro-choice parties battled. so there's this law for like protecting unwanted kids until they're 13 and then the Unwind Papers can be signed.

then they chop them up and transplant all their parts to other people. 99.4% of them. nasty

this book was really good. about connor, risa, and lev, who ran away, and all these other AWOLs who like live in this 'graveyard' and stuff. it's crazy.

and actually funny too.

and seeems realistic, even though i hope there's never a real law like that.

read it, yo!

twilight movie

so i saw twilight, and i have just one thing to say.
MANNO, WAS ROBERT PATTINSON HOT!
like, my lord.

go see it!
i hate when people don't read the book first, but you'll prolly like it better if you don't read it. idk... they just added some crap, and skipped a lot (of course).
so actually... don't read it! well.. no, the book does explain a lot...
so read it. the book is WAY better.
maybe read it after you see it? idk!

guess what i read today!!!

WAKE BY LISA MCMANN!!!
in three hours!!!
lol
recently i was like, ohh, i wanna read wake again!
so i go to the library cuz i'm out of things to read. and i'm gonna put it on hold.
cuz it's been checked out a lot. which is good.
people are obviously reading it.
but much to my suprise, it was there, so i got it and read it.
let me tell ya, it was just as good as when i read it this summer.
there's some books that are like that, no matter how many times you read them, it's still the same as the first time.
and i put Wake on my christmas list, seeing as it comes out in paperback on December 23!
just in time for the holiday season.
when is hanukkah?
so yeah, i've read it three times (way more for mah favy parts cuz i go read them again and again). and it'll prolly be way more by the time... i... die? sure...
do they have Wake shirts? like Twilight? they should have those...
and is Wake gonna be a movie? let's get someone on that please...

yeah, i'm strange... but ya gotta love me!
oh, and i've gotten crap for not "telling" people to read wake. EXCUSE ME "M", when i exclaim about how good the darn book is, and make an idiot of myself, it means "READ IT".
so jeesh, do it already.
:)

TWILIGHT

STEPHANIE MEYER
sorry, i finished this a long time ago...
this book confused me. i'm not sure that i liked it... okay, so i liked it. i did want to be a vampire for a few days, you know, and like go up in the rafters and just sit. i thought it would be cool. and true, i couldn't put it down, i believe that i DID in fact have a twilight related dream (maybe more than once... i don't remember). that's what happens when i read too fast though...
it's just... i thought it was too explainy. and i know, it's the first book, and the author needs to clarify a lot of stuff... but i thought there was too much repeating of the same stuff. like...

edward: "are you afraid of me?"

bella (my favorite name ever, btw, even before this book):: "no, i love you"

*later*

edward: "you should be afraid of me, i'm bad bella"

bella: "i'm not afraid, you're good"

and so on and so forth. there was just a lot of repeating of edward (aka sexy vampire boy who's like a few hundred years old) not feeling very good about himself and being all upset. so he can't stand to be around bella (because he totally wants to drink her blood and all) but he's like in love with her, so he obviously can't stand to be away from her. quite the pickle. plus, then she's in love with him, even though she should be terrified of him.
this is a long review, and in the end i still don't know if i loved it. i liked it, but... also i didn't... idk. i think the first one was a bit overrated, but i've heard the rest just keep getting better.

*fingers crossed*

i'm seeing the movie on saturday! so i haven't read the second one so it doesn't mess with me or something... idk.

COMMENT QUESTION: have you read Twilight? are you seeing the movie? "M" will already know how i feel about this...

COMMENT QUESTION: what do you think of the comment question thing?

lol

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

TO ME

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR LIZZY!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

TO ME!

YAY!

Happy Election Day!

to one and all!!
i'm soo glad this election is finally over! they've been campeigning for over two years. enough already!
so who are you voting for??
i used to not care at all, then i was mccain, but now i think i'm obama.
mah parents yelled at me for that one.
oh well.
and i'm not like REALLY paying attention to it, and i'm not like HARDCORE for anyone, but i just think we need a change.
i see it as the country's been going to hell lately, so we need someone new in office. i think, why not see if a democrat will help.
plus, there's another election in four years, so why not give it a chance and then decide where we are? is that crazy? i don't think so.
and as Ash keeps saying, Obama's for abortion, but, like, i think people should have the choice. I think it's murder, yeah, I wouldn't do it, but it should be everyone's choice.
and like Proposition 8 in california. McCain says yes, which i think is rediculous, and Obama says no. look it up, i'm not explaining it.
so yeah, i think we should just see where we are in four years, and if mccain wins, fine, if obama wins, fine.
i think people are taking this wayy too seriously. like, just chill. even like sixth graders. like, their opinions don't matter at all, why do they get into fights about it?
plus, i think i like obama because mah parents hate him. is that so wrong??!!

leave comments! i like opinions! but don't yell at me!

guess who's birthday is in one week??!!!

i hope you've got your presents wrapped and your parties planned!!

jk, i'm not expecting a party. at least... not a big one...

although, presents, i am expecting!
ha

now what i'm reading

so i'm reading Twilight, that uber famous vampire book, right?
and everyone's like 'omg read twilight it's so good!" not to me, but you know... to other people.
i'm a mental patient, seriously
so yeah, i guess it's good...
i'm like half way already. because i read fast. and i read it a lot. even though i should be reading about yellow fever because that summary is due in... about a week and i'm still only like halfway done with that book. oh well.

i'm not sure how i feel about Twilight yet. like... idk. yes there, will be a real blog about it. i just needed to... say something about it? idk.
that post will probably be soon, seeing as i'm reading real fast.

oh, and i mostly wanted to read it cuz the movie is coming out November 21, the same day that Harry Potter was supposed to come out but then they RIPPED out mah heart and moved it to june, and moved twilight right in there to fill our fantasy movie needs or something! god! stupid harry potter!!!
jk, harry, you know i love you!
xoxo

SIZE 14 IS NOT FAT EITHER

MEG CABOT
sequel to Size 12 is Not Fat
i loved this book i think it was probably better than the first one. it was great and soo funny and scary... oh mystery!
heather has to take remedial math before she can take real college classes lol.
and i think Gavin is like the sweetest, funniest kid ever i want to kidnap him only he'd be older than me... if he was real... and the heather/gavin back'n'forth banter is like the funniest stuff ever.
and they find a head in a pot on the stove!!! scary! and obviously, there's drugs involved, because, well, it's college.
and heather's criminal dad shows up! he's a weirdo. i think he was supposed to be "funny" but i just thought it was strange. and cooper. oh cooper. and jordan! who's getting married.
the highlight for me was Gavin, most devinately. and the end... yeah, okay it was good. i mean, like the last page that's supposed to lead us into the threequil. sure, it was good, but... whatever.
grrrreat book

oh, and "M", i'll bring it for you!

I Think I'm Finally An Official Freak

hey you guys!!! i put FADE by Lisa Mcmann on hold at the library!!
lol
it's not coming out for another 100 days or so (107 to be exact) but i thought.. what they hay!?? so i DID IT
what if i put that for the title? "SO I DID IT" would you read it?

so yeah... some may think i'm crazy. that's fine. but now i'll be like the first to read it when the library gets it. so ha.
unless... you don't think someone else might have put it on hold BEFORE me, do you??!!!

WHAT KIND OF FREAK DOES THAT?!!!

i'm really hyper all of a sudden...

SIZE 12 IS NOT FAT

MEG CABOT
omg this book made me pee. thanks "M"
it was great. it had a good story, and was real funny. so i was hooked
and it was a mystery!
it's like nancy drew and gilmore girls combined. i think there was a mention of gilmore girls too.
Heather Wells used to be like totally famous and crap but then she got fat
only size 12 is the size of the average american woman. how many times was that stated? i shoulda counted. lol
and there's Cooper the PI and Gavin the punk elevator surfer who was like mah favy character. (he's in the second one too! and i think something big is coming!)
and now heather works in a dorm (er... residence hall) at a college and they are finding dead girls at the bottom of elevator shafts! gasp!!
so heather decides to find out why. lol
and there's a sequel, which i'm reading right now. and a threequel too!!
and i thought the sequel was supposed to be "Phat Girl" or something... but it's not. who changed that??

homecoming

sorry this is sooooo late
but i'm supposed to blog about homecoming
what is there to tell?
i was almost date raped
scary shit.

lol no, he just tried grinding on me. so i said 'NO WAY SKANK"
lol

but i had SO much fun besides that part
did you guys see david's "dance moves"? what was that?
i like the lassoo and fishing reel. lol
and then sitting out in the hallway. who was with us? what that you "K"? i know it was me, david.. and someone.
that was funn too.

so yeah, not much to say that hasn't been said before. and i know if i make it too long you won't read it. lol. but maybe since it's called homecoming, i've drawn you in.
sorry if it's anticlimactic.
i thought the date rape thing was funny though. hehe
don't joke about rape, that's serious shit!

THE WEEKEND

PETER CAMERON
the same guy that wrote someday this pain will be useful to you
at least that book was good
i didn't like the weekend
i don't think it had a plot, at all. it was like these friends who got together at a cabbin a year after this one boy's lover died who was the guy's brother and his wife's friend or something
yes, another book about gay people!! but this one wasn't even good
it took me forever, too, because i was so bored.
idk why i'm even blogging about it. i feel like it's my duty or something.
lol
dont read this book. well, no, you can if you want... but i wouldn't advise it

mcdonalds and starbucks

omg today after school me, sister, ash, and laur went on the new trail to the bugline!
and then we went to starbucks and flirted with this guy named micheal.
he was kinda nerdy, but we're just fun girls.
then we went to hang out in the grocery store. we wanted to buy some booze in the liquer (sp?) store, but since none of us is legal, we couldn't.
so we just walked around the store, and sister bought a monster even though she's not supposed to.
then we crossed the street (scary!) and got some fries and mcdonalds!!! super funn!
on the way back we wanted to try to touch the llamas at the llama farm. which is totally trespassing, but we were feeling daring today! we rebels! so we walked up, then found these unopened beers in the field!! so we chucked 'em in the corn field of course!! i hope we don't break the corn machine or something, i'd feel bad...
we never did touch the llamas, they were too far away.

oh, and since i only got 200 texts a month, i wanted to find out how many i've done so i don't go over, right? so my mom called and got disconnected and then called again to find out how many i have.
348
it's like $14.80!!! and i was told that if i ever went over texting would go away, but i don't think it will. i hope not.
how did i go so far over?!!? i know why! it's cuz of SOMEONE (*david*) sends me 8 texts saying SPAM because i called him a skank, and like 6 of a different one because i "wasn't replying"
oy vey

oh, this blogging thing is FUN!
<3L
and i'm over nicknames. except for those of you who already have them.

poppin'

i just heard Poppin' (Champagne) by all time low
and saw the video
first off, why didn't i hear this before, i like it!
but whenever i listen to atl, i feel sad. lol, it's weird. i think it's alex's voice...
and what is with them always in clubs in their videos? and... why are they always half naked? seriously... this time there was bubbles!
and omg the choreographed dance moves in shortshorts?? too much.
but funny.

i like this song now.
i'm getting so many illegal videos for new music tonite.. not even funny.
haha
and that concert "M"! omg. thanks for killing my year
jk. maybe i'll go with like holly or someone.
OH NO, NICKNAME!!! "H"?? idk...

imma die after that lab report
had to blog though
threatened to murder something before...

11:30

goodnight

random new music

okay, so i've been getting some random songs lately, so i tought i'd share.
i get most of these from youtube, cheating the system, because i'm so cheap.
[i heart hyperlinks]
okay, so let's see how we're gonna do this...

1. Life Effect by Stars. stevie likes them? so i heard it was good, so i BOUGHT (omg) it and i love it. it's quiet, and slow, kinda sad i think, but good. loves the line "who made you happy last night? i don't know his name, but Christ, can he fight?"
2. Memory by Sugarcult. that band is actually very good. this is the only song i've heard so far, but maybe i'll do more. probably not though, but Memory is very good.
3. I'll Catch You by The Get Up Kids. stevie likes them too. lol. lots of just instrumental parts, then it's quiet singing. gooood.

i actually bought those songs. what was i thinking. i do like them though, so it wasn't a waste. okay, now for the contriband videos.

1. Dark Blue by Jack's Mannequinn. omg i love this song. like, how come i didn't like JM before? and i've heard some of their other songs, soo good! i'm in love with Dark Blue
2. Rock Your Soul by Elisa. such a beautiful song. she has quite the voice, too. it's good, and someone danced to it on SYTYCD (courtney maybe, solo?). i think it's beautiful.
3. Foundations by Kate Nash. she's like british, what could be better? so she sings with an accent! i find the song funny, but also not. it's good too
4. Where Does the Good Go? by Tegan and Sara. lol stevie likes them too, but that's not why i listened to them. we danced to this song in jazz, and i loved it, so i looked up the lyrics and found it. it just so happened to by by T&S. they're twins i think.
5. Back in Your Head by Tegan and Sara. this is really good too, but i didn't really like it the first time i heard it. which was in one of stevie's videos, he did like a music video. i like his better than the real one :) he just has good taste in music, is all, it's not like i'm trying to be the boy. (well... no)
6. Dreamworld by Rilo Kiley. is Rilo Kiley a boy or a girl? could someone find that out? maybe it's both, like in a group. but then who is rilo? we danced to this song in modern lol so i looked it up. mind you, i did this 'research' in school too. i guess i could mention that stevie may like Rilo Kiley too, but that was TOTALLY ACCIDENTAL because i didn't know who it was singing until after i liked it.

boy, me and stevie are like one...

• oh, and i also kinda like Tokio Hotel, 'ready set go' and 'monsoon'. so glad they beat out miley for best new artist! suck it miley! (omg totally innapropriate joke could go right here)

that's it for now!

??

hey, why are there no comments on
this post?
it's old. but go back, read it, and comment please. that's an order.

EVERY AVENUE

SHH. JUST GO WITH IT

OMG I LOVE THIS ALBUM! i'll go through all the songs now i guess...
DAYS OF THE OLD. great dance song. omg i just sing real loud and dance around. loves it!
THIS ONE'S A CHEAP SHOT. not one of my favys, but it's still good to dance to.
WHERE WERE YOU? this is the first one i ever heard, like a year ago. so now i know all the words! i still love it, of course i dance. okay, i dance around to this whole album...
THINK OF YOU LATER (EMPTY ROOM). my favy ever. i love it. i want it as a ring tone, even though it's $2.50 to buy because i don't have an iphone so i can't mix my own version for a dollar. gah. but omg this song is great. wonderful. best.
A STORY TO TELL YOUR FRIENDS. this was little sister's favy song! lol. it was mine for a while. it's great, this is like their [first?] single or something. so good.
BOYS WILL BE BOYS. i didn't like this as much before, but now every time i hear it i like it, so it must be good!
TAKE A STEP BACK. probably my least favorite on the album, but still very good.
TRADING HEARTBEATS. actually very good, and catchy. lol, "you're just trading heartbeats baby, you're just changing the person between your sheets." haha
FREAK OUT! the (!) was in the title. this is good too... this is the one with the line about a ship in the chorus? yes?
BETWEEN YOU AND I. beautiful. this was my fave for a while too. SO GOOD. slow, because you know i'm a sucker for the piano ballads. and dave's voice is so good. i read this review of the album though, and the guy was like "why must every band have one shitty ballad?" or something like that. umm... the ballads are always my favorite on the albums... lol. it's not bad, it's great. and so sad.
CHASING THE NIGHT. this is good too, very... upbeat. and cheerful. and a good end to the album, i think. 'days of the old' was kinda about the end of the summer, and i feel like this one is too, just living big while you can

AND OMG I MET EVERY AVENUE! but you knew that, right? but i didn't really know their music then, and now i'm in love. so thank you! idk who or what for, but thank you.

RAISIN RODRIGUEZ AND THE BIG-TIME SMOOCH

JUDY GOLDSCHMIDT
lol i read this a long time ago too.
it's the sequel to 'the secret blog of raisin rodriguez' (review down below)
and omg raisin is sooo funny. she's kinda like me. jk
and she has these great friends, who comment on her blog. i wish someone would comment on my blog...
but anyways raisin wants CJ to kiss her, but her plans always seem to go awry. omg she's just like raven! or miley! or those other disney girls!
i lol'd during this book. thank's for givin' it to me "M".
now i just have to read the three-quil!

ECHO

KATE MORGENROTH
i read this a long time ago lol

but it's a sad story, cuz a kid accidentally kills himself and i was like OMG reading it. and then it's the one year anniversary, and his older brother, who watched him die, is like having flashbacks. and he hears this voice in his head and stuff
so then he's living one day over and over again.
oh, and there's a reason there's a dead bunny on the cover.
Echo is good, and it's short too, not a big commitment. lol
i like the part behind the theater!! :)

making some changes

so this bloggin thing is really hard
and i'm sorry, but i don't have time to do long huge posts about project runway or antm. it takes too long and it's not that fun.
i'm not complaining, i like doing this, but it's not like anybody reads this.

so i'm thinking of making some changes
i won't be making huge posts for each Runway episode (how could i possibly catch up!?) or for other shows. i'll make occasional ones for the general season, you know, like what i'm thinking about it. pictures? maybe...

and i really like just doing random posts for books and music or my life, so i'll be doing that, along with opinions of the shows, but not whole review things.

okay?
why am i asking your opinion?

sorry, but it'll be easier this way. less stressful, because a secret blog shouldn't be stressful.
well, only a little.
[heart]

FINALE RESULTS SHOW

did i ever tell you that Joshua won so you think you can dance?
well, he did, and i was super happy for him
he was my favy, and he was sooo funny
i voted for him!
twitch was in second, which was also good. think about it, two street dancers in the top two spots. good job.

stung

i went to the buckskinners today
and i got stung by a goddam bee.
gah. it hurts soo bad.
right on the back of my thigh, under my butt.
i call it a buttbite.
we were standing in line for "jerked beef", which ended up tasting like ass, so it wasn't even worth it.
but i did have the most delicious root beer ever, which is what the bee was after.
or he just wanted to get in my pants.



((ooooo get it? i kill myself!))

sick

i'm sick

always sick

bah

stevie says it best

although, do i agree about fall out boy? for 20 hours? yeah.... i agree

yikes.

oh yeah, seriously contact me if you find that cure.

i think i am lazy

seriously
sorry

DIARY

CHUCK PALAHNIUK
i can't say that guy's last name. i've heard he was really good (i have my sources) and so now i wanna read all his books. the library doesn't have Choke, how am i supposed to read it?
Diary is like a coma diary, written by Misty, to her husband Peter. he tried to kill himself in their car, but now he's in a coma. a gross coma, with his muscles all nasty, it's grafic. ick.
Misty's like this super good artist, but she married Peter and moved to this tiny little island and had a kid. there's this big thing about this crappy jewelry, but you'd have to read it, i can't explain.
Diary turns out to be a lot creepier than i originally thought it would be. like seriously, this island's messed up.
SUCH a good book, read it!
so do i want to read choke? i started to on B&N.com, it was gooood. and i read part of Snuff. which is about this giant, record breaking porno. hmmm....
he's written other stuff, i'll have to check it out.
but i hear all of his books are good (again, my sources), so whatever...

I LOVE YOU, BETH COOPER

LARRY DOYLE
this book was really funny. Larry's like an old writer for the Simpsons or something, so it was good. lots of pop culture and stuff, which i love.
nerdy validictorian (sorry, i butchered it) Denis Cooverman gives his speach at graduation, and says... "i love you, beth cooper"
beth is the popular cheerleader that doesn't know Denis exists.
one crazy graduation night ensues. seriously, the book is all about one night, it's real long.
and of course, beth's giant boyfriend is home from the army, and he (with his equally giant army friends) try to kill Denis and his bestie Rich (who's like this crazy movie fanatic, always citing movies and quotes) multiple times.
really funny.

:(

back to school gah!

going green

omg how late can i be??
they had to use organic materials this time, but the models picked the fabric, so those designers had no say in the matter. haha
korto. she had like big wings or something on the sides, no one really got it. it looked insideout or something. bad.
leanne. it was a bit weird. like, she had big loops of fabric, and pockets, just too much, it didn't make sense.
stella. like everyone had this fabric. lots of people had that gold/brown stuff too. this i think is weird for stella, just because it's not leatha.
suede. loves it! he used strips of that same fabric, and red stuff, and layered, and used toule. it's amazing.
terri. it looks very fancy. that's all i really have to say. it's good.
wesley. he used the same as leanne. it's... "cheap" because it's "short, tight, and shiny". that's what the judges say. wesley is tooo quiet too, a man of few words.
daniel. i personally think it's kinda ugly. sorry, but it is.

O.M.G. i heard about the "project runway romace" and seriously, this is it! wesley and daniel! lol... i almost wrote danielle. sorry, that's not funny... aren't they cute? yeah, maybe, no?

jennifer. this had zero air time, i had no idea it existed until the runway show. it'slike rami! omgz!
joe. i don't like him, i don't really like this. it's blah.
Keith. never saw this either. i actually like it.
kelli. she has a weird taste... it's okay, but...
kenley. i don't get the collar. but it's very good, wearable, even with the collar.
good ole blayne. loves him. it's neon, which, how did his model know that! i actually like it, i like blayne. he's funny.
emily. i don't get it. it looks like daniel's. it's okay, but kinda ugly.
jerrel. i think it's butt ulgy. sure, his model brought him peacock feathers, but really? i hate it.

winner

suede! i love him, glad he won.

Auf'd

wesley. which means the couple has been broken up. maybe we'll hear about it at the reunion? unless i'm totally wrong and that wasn't even the couple? i liked wesley, too, but he lacked personality. and talent, apparently.

that city i loves

so i loves me some chicago, but seriously, how do people know where they're going?! i got lost even with a map! if i lived there (which i SO will), i'd have a map with me for years!
i went to the art institute... i was bored, really. i shouldn't have been, but i was.
oh, and i was looking for Andy all weekend. lol, didn't see him...
we didn't go to millenium park, we walked past it...
went shopping! i bought a sweater at the Gap, and a nice man named Jim who i think looks like Michael Buckley helped me. the thought it was "super cute... signature color... good choice!"
loves him!
and then i went to six flags and let me tell you, i am a roller coaster queen. like seriously, sister got sick on like everyone, not me! i'm amazing...
oh, and can i just say, that if i'm ever a vegitarian, i will live on these sandwiches called T.M.B.s or T.B.M.s. i'm not sure... i said it wrong when i ordered, and i was reading the menue. i have dyslexia with letters and sometimes numbers. actually, a lot with numbers... but it's a sandwich of tomato, basil, and motzerella cheese. how do you spell that? anyways, it was delisioso. (mine had chicken, but that's totally optional). now i want another one...

gone again this weekend!
i'll take pics!
oh, "M", sorry about warped tour pics, they'll come, i promise!
comment!
(on below posts, not this one)
kthanksbi!

the hair that i want

so i was watching miley's 7 things video yesterday (don't judge me, sorry i love it, it was stuck in my head all day. i watched it 3 or 4 times!) (i don't like all those crying girls in it though. can anyone cry pretty?)

but it was one of those girls that had the BEST hair dos i've ever seen and i want it. i've got pictures!

it's like a fo'hawk! and i want it soooo bad!!

except, hers is purple, i don't want purple.

how does she get it up like that?

my mom said i could probably pull it off...

but does it look like it's shaved on the sides? cuz i can't do THAT.

i really really like it!

thoughts?

p.s. i'm not joking. i'm serious.

p.p.s. REALLY!

the love meter (vol. 2)

so we left off right before i tell you what i got on the love meter.
so, i guess i can't avoid it anymore.
i got a 106.
guess what that is?
BLAH
the lowest thing on the meter.
i almost cried.
but then i got another quarter to do it again, to prove that the machine was crap.
BLAH
twice.
so now my family was laughing at me. so i did it again.
BLAH.
BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.
i'm scarred for life. i was made fun of for hours, days. it'll never end.
and now, i'll probably ruin any relationship i'm (n)ever in. because i'm a blah.
so then i listened to Settle Down by Cartel. and i learned what restitution means.
and let me tell you, restitution's a b**ch.

my fingers hurt from learning to play the guitar. i need calouses.

the american mall

did anyone watch that movie on mtv?
omg i LOVED it.
neil haskell was in it from sytycd last year. and i was like in love with him. he's a pretty good actor.
lol
i think TAM is WAYY better than HSM. and omg, have you seen previews for HSM3? it looks like CRAP.
yeah, i said it.
so, comment!
about american mall, sytycd, neil, hsm. anything!
i'm hyper...

MEMOIRS OF A TEENAGE AMNESIAC

GABRIELLE ZEVIN
i reallly liked this book. like, it was gooood!
and it's another book about a girl who can't remember, just like Jenna Fox.
i bet you don't remember that book at all.
thanks.
lol, jk. whatever.
memoirs is about Naomi, who fell ("dove") down a flight of stairs and had head trauma and now she can't remember the last four years of her life. which, a lot of stuff happened, and she's missing it all. and there's James, the messed up kid... he's got some issues. and Ace, her jerky boyfriend that Naomi doesn't remember. and her best friend Will, who calls her "Cheif" and she doesn't know why and she really doesn't remember him. (like what happened before the accident... or about his dad...)
and naomi was adopted from russia, and she was found in a church in a typwriter box. how sad is that?
this was actually a really good book. kinda like WAKE, but not really. actually, yeah, no, it wasn't. it was more like Jenna Fox. which is good too...
yeah i'm rambling.

SECRETS OF MY SUBURBAN LIFE

LAUREN BARATZ-LOGSTED
okay so the main character is Lauren (but she goes by Ren) so does that mean that the author named her after herself?
i think so.
which, i'm sorry, i think that's dumb, but whatever.
this was a good book, kind of reminded me of Raisin a little. cuz Ren was moved out of NYC after Harry Potter killed her mom.
you'll just have to read to find out!
but Ren wasn't that upset by it, like, she was fine. i was like "that girl is crazy!"
and it teaches lessons about how you shouldn't go meet people you talk to on the internet in a sleezy motel somewhere or actually, otel... haha.
and that teenage girls shouldn't talk to older men on sex websites.
good lesson, no?
so yeah, i lol-ed i think. cuz it's newer, it has better references. like to harry potter and stuff.
and omg i soooo guessed who the perp (lol, perv) was, which was the same guess that Ren made, but by the end i was like, ohhhh, now i really think i know who it is.
i was right. for the most part.

SOMEDAY THIS PAIN WILL BE USEFUL TO YOU

PETER CAMERON
another book about a depressed teenage boy.
i picked this up as a joke because of the title, trying to get a buddy to read it (she doesn't read, i don't know what i was thinking). then i ended up reading it and actually really liking it.
did you know Grand Central Station is not a station?
it's Grand Central Terminal, so stop calling it a station!
that's what i learned from James. (the depressed kid)
he's about to start Brown after the summer (Brown was mentioned in Devilish too, omgz) (Brown is a college in Rhode Island)
but james doesn't want to go to college. and he makes some very interesting points, which now have me thinking...
in the front flap it says "sexual orientation (confusion thereof)" or something like that, and i'm like "oh great, he's gay." which of course, everyone asks him about.
oh! and he ran away in D.C.! exciting.
so this book was good, lots like Perks and Catcher, but different.
and a little depressing.

DEVILISH

MAURINNE JOHNSON
good. not much to say.
it's about when this girl who works for the devil comes to this school and like takes this girl's soul, so her friend has to save her. then there's this weird twirpy kid that gives me the creeps. for obvious, and not obvious reasons.
devilish was funny too. i like books that make me lol.
watch out for the constant cupcake eating, it can only mean bad things.
and please, please, don't sell your sould to the devil just because you're sad cuz you threw up all over people in school. you're life's not over, the devil can't help you.
sheesh.

i think i

just found out what the third book's gonna be.
after FADE, if you're confused.
GONE
i'm pretty sure...
WAKE, FADE, GONE
cute, right?
i need confermation on this please!

SOPHIE

GUY BURT
this book was like super confusing
i still don't really get it.
so it's about this girl (that much i'm sure of) and her brother (but i'm not really sure, well... yeah.) and then he like kindaps her and keeps her in this old house or barn or something.
and then he talks about his childhood with her
(but i'm not sure it was her) (but it might have been)
and that she's like a genius robot or something but she always hid her brains from people.
(she's not really a robot)
and umm... yeah. it was a good book, but really confusing.
and in england!!! so they talk fun!
so yeah... i don't know what i think

the love meter (vol. 1)

up with gram, we went to this park and then were passing the time and wasting our quarters. so i found the Love Meter, which apparently tells you if you're a good lover or something, when you put your 2 finger tips on it. (and feed it a quarter)
grammy got Pasion Flower (ewwww)
auntie got Innocent (yeah right!)
sister got... Tease (huh?)
other sister got Foxy Lady, the second highest thing.
i was like, HUH? for that one.
ya wanna know what i got?
...

skittles

i just put 20 skittles in my mouth at once. it may not seem like a lot, but it is. it's a fruity explosion!

gone

for a week.
sorry
be back next week
i'm behind on sytycd.
sorry again
luvs ya!

888!

8/8/08 is here!
and you know what that means!!!!!
youtube convention in toronto!!
woo!
oh, plus there's this sports thing or something going on, but whatever, right?

jk! i totally am watching the olymics. omg, did you SEE that opening ceremony? !! holy cows... those chinese are like amazing. but their little gymnastics girls look to be about 10, not 16, which is the legal age.
but anyways, back to youtube!
so everyone flew to toronto to meet everyone else who does youtube!
but actually, i shouldn't be so happy.
i mean, i've already suffered.
the friday video for 5AG was like 40 seconds of nothingness, though i did see all of the guys in one bed! with clothes. except for monday, cuz he's stuck in chicago. poor andy...
so i'm looking forward to videos from there, because i know it'll be funny, but i'm upset by the lack of videos at this moment.
and the lack of twitter updates from the guys. do i care that stevie has internet access in his bathroom? sure... but not for 2 days!
so i hope you had a good 888, have fun watching phelps win stuff, that jerk.

question of the effing year

do i want to dance?

page counter

i got a page counter so everyone go back and forth so i get TONS of hits!
okay?


p.s. thank's granolagirl!

maze game!

heyy, guys!
PLAY THIS GAME!
it's super fun and super addicting!
try to beat all four levels!
seriously, play it.
tell me what you think.
yeah? okay?!!? good?!

THE MAINE

CAN'T STOP, WON'T STOP
bought this at Warped Tour. i think i love having physical cds, it's soo much more fun!
so glad i bought it, it's like the best cd i've listened to in a while. (probably since rotation, which was the last time, i'm not hard to please, plus the last one i hear is probably my fave, just like charlie and books. i need to stop making references to my books in cd reviews)
EVERYTHING I ASK FOR. think this is the single, maybe not. anyways, i love it. i love the chorus, too, "oh she makes me feel like sh*t, it's always something, but i can't get over it..."
loves it!
WE ALL ROLL ALONG. not a favorite, but that's just because i don't listen to it as much. but it's still real good.
GIRLS DO WHAT THEY WANT. bought this song first on itunes, then the cd. oops. i love it, and it's probably true, "girls do what they want, boys do what they can". good female empowerment line, just like "girls make boys cry." ((haha. when you get home you're so dead, mayday parade.))
I MUST BE DREAMING. really cute, i like it. "i love the way she wakes me when it's still dark" cute? yes! like the chorus, has the cd title in it, "can't stop, won't stop... i must be dreaming."
INTO YOUR ARMS. soooo good. "she had the amazing... smile, i bet you didn't expect that" haha. really really good. good to sing along to. lol
TIME TO GO. pretty good. i'm getting it mixed with another song... 'if i fail' by Cartel. had to look up the lyrics. this song is good too.
THIS IS THE END. good, i don't listen to it constantly, but it's good.
WHOEVER SHE IS. this one, i listen to constantly. my fave, i think. slow, ballady, but not really, listen to the lyrics, too, because they're like the most important part. stuck in my head. "she could be money, cars, fear of the dark, your best friends or just strangers in bars. whoever she is, whoever she may be, one things' for sure, you don't have to worry." cute? yes!
COUNT 'EM, ONE, TWO, THREE. really good music, like hooks and stuff, guitar. good song.
KISS AND SELL. another fave. slower, but not really. so good. great. and everything in the chorus rhymes. haha. not everything, but you know. it's good.
YOU LEFT ME. a little techno-y. so it's probably my least favorite on the album. it's still good, but the beginning espessially, techno. at least, in my opinion.
WE'LL ALL BE. they say the eff bomb! but it's not that bad. at the end, there's a big instumental thing, then with like chanting. it's good. it's almost like they put in random recordings from them talking and laughing in the studio. loves it!
overall rating:: probably 5, so glad i bought it!
tracks to get if you're on a budget ((get the whole cd, it's worth it!))
whoever she is
kiss and sell
everything i ask for
into your arms
girls do what they want

CUTE IS WHAT WE AIM FOR

ROTATION
loves this cd!
PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT. the first single. gets sooo stuck in my head. great.
DOCTOR. didn't like it as much, now i love it! creepy giggling in the beginning though. loves the first lines, "i'm like a rookie paramedic to a siren, praying for an accident." or "i'll be, i'll be your cure.. i'll be, i'll be your whore." ahaha.
NAVIGATE ME. dirty. something about a naval. didn't like it, now i do. real good.
LOSER. second song i got. really good, got stuck in my head. good life lessons, "a loser can win whenever they choose to, all that they gotta, gotta do, is bring you down..." tehe.
DO WHAT YOU DO. not my favorite, but got stuck in my head the other day. poses the question, "have you ever been fake, for the sake of saving face?" i think for most people, that would be a yes. and if you don't know what the question means, tell me, i'll laugh.
HOLLYWOOD. first song i got. good, jazzy. trumpets and stuff.
SAFE RIDE. pretty good, not one of my favorites, but good.
THE LOCK DOWN DENIAL. like the title, but again, not a fave.
MARRIAGE TO MILLIONS. listening now... pretty good. not a fave. the last three, idk...
MISS SOBRIETY. haha. i like it. "hey, miss sobriety, do you remember me? or how to say my name?" is that because his hame is shaant? maybe... i like it. stuck in my head today.
TIME. slowest song. i like the faster, louder songs by CIWWAF better, but this is still good.
overall rating:: 4-5. probably closer to 5. 4.75?
top tracks to get:: (not in any order, it's too hard!)
loser
miss sobriety
doctor (!)
practice makes perfect
and even navigate me
if it was me, i'd get the whole cd, it's all good. either on itunes or the physical one.
can i just say, that shaant looks like he's on drugs or something. i compair how he looked in the Curse of Curves video, to how he looks in the Practice Makes Perfect video. he's lost weight, grown a scary beard, just not healthy looking, in my opinion.

WARPED TOUR

so i went to Vans Warped Tour last Friday with "M".

and we got there SO late, like 4:30, because SOMEONE had to work with kids, and probably contract diseases, so we had to leave late.

and you know what happened?!

WE MISSED EVERYONE OF IMPORTANCE!!

mayday parade

we the kings

every avenue (though we did meet them, more on that later)

forever the sickest kids (we saw the end of 'she's a lady' but then they were done, more on that later)

and we missed The Audition, but idk when they even played, so whatever.

I ALMOST CRIED!!!

so when we got there, we caught the end of FTSK, and i couldn't even name the song right at first, i haven't heard it in a while, okay?! gosh!

here's i think the lead singer of FTSK. kinda scary looking but whatever. he's with some random girl, sorry she's there.

and so we saw them, and they said they'd play later, at like 7, so at like 6:45 i went to their merch tent (merchantise, people! merch is my new fave word, too!) and asked the guy (very politley, very brave, cuz i HATE talking to people!) if they were playing later, and he's like "they already played today!" all snobby. sheesh, sorry for asking! gosh!

here's The Acadamy Is... the first band we saw. and i only knew one song by them, but now i like them more, so maybe i'll check 'em out! okay!?! yeah!?! i got TONS of pictures of that man.
in an attempt to save my face from the dangers of the internet, i colored a circle over it.
good?
that's... jimmie, dave, josh. and me. in my mayday parade shirt. how cute is that!! they made my day.
katy perry signing things.

and here's a live video of i kissed a girl. sorry about the woman in the black jumping around.

oh yeah, sorry that it took so long. i did have it up like two weeks ago, and it was posted, but then when i went in the next day, it was just a draft and i had to rewrite everything. what's up with that?!

THE ALMOST

SOUTHERN WEATHER
love this cd. got it at the library.
and no, it's not weather sounds, it's alternative rock music. jeez.
SAY THIS SOONER. didn't like it at first, but now it's one of my faves.
DRIVE THERE NOW. don't really listen to it, but it's good.
DIRTY AND LEFT OUT. loves it. sad, slow, repeats 'jesus' over and over. good.
I MOSTLY COPY OTHER PEOPLE. i love the names of these songs. good i guess.
SOUTHERN WEATHER. the title track, obviously. real good.
STOP IT. don't listen to this often either. it's good though, i'm listening to it right now.
AMAZING BECAUSE IT IS. real amazing (sorry, i had to) it's my favorite on the album, for sure. the chorus is 'amazing grace'. and then there's a choir. omgz. i love it like a lot. it's sad, and... really good.
EVERYONE HERE SMELLS LIKE A RAT. real good.
NEVER SAY 'I TOLD YOU SO'. pretty good, not one of my favorites, but good.
CALL BACK WHEN I'M HONEST. good, gets pretty stuck in my head.
EVERYTHING THAT MAKES ME SICK. good, not much to say.
total rating for the album::: i'd say 4-1/2 stars. good.
must listen to tracks, if not the whole album:: (in order i think)
amazing because it is
dirty and left out
say this sooner
southern weather
call back when i'm honest (maybe)
enjoy. do you like this format better, with the whole cd and not so much clutter? comment.

music and such ((from forever ago))

so some of these are old, but i haven't done this in quite some time
and then i wrote it, tried to publish it, and lost it all except for that first line. so now it's been even longer.

Forever the Sickest Kids. Underdog Alma Mater. omg they really are sick

• my worst nightmare. kind of techno'y. but i like it.

Panic at the Disco (now without the '!' which is crap because now it's under as two different bands on my ipod)

• nine in the afternoon. scary music video. but great lyrics, catchy.
  

New Found Glory

• It's not your fault. good lyrics, kinda catchy. i was supposed to be looking up NFG when i stumbled upon...

Mae. multi-sensory aesthetic experience. like my new favorite band of all time (oh, and stevie likes them too, it's on his myspace, just sayin...)

• we're so far away. beautiful piano part. like amazing. almost made me cry after leaving camp. i love it.
• someone else's arms. this is pretty too. and it fades into...


• suspension. seriously, like it fades. the end of SEA is like the beginning of suspension... you'll just have to listen. this is my fave song by mae. i love it.


• mistakes we knew we were making. good story and good lyrics. the last minute is kind of repetative, but i still like it

Metro Station (miley's brother, trace, and that mitchel musso's brother, mason, they met on the set of hannah montana!)

• kelsey. the cutest song ever. probably one of my faves by them. i love it love it. it was all i listened to for a while.
• shake it. of course! and every time i hear it i shake it. haha. loves it!
• control. less popular, but just as good, i love this too!
• seventeen forever. used in the commercial for the new Sister Pants movie! listen to it!

we the kings. old band (for me), new songs (for me)

• secret valentine. how did i not listen to this before!? loves it... and apparently so does everyone else.
• this is our town. slow, ballad, piano. i love when these bands to sad piano songs. they're always my favorite.

i'm sick of doing this, this is SOOO old, i'm not even kidding.

i'm gonna do some whole cds soon, because that's what i listen to.
