07:32 pm - a million different people from one day to the next
I really want to run out the middle of some field and scream right now. I've been restless all day and have barely gotten anywhere with my paper. I want to go home but I have another week of classes/finals and then a week of rehearsals.

blahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Homeland Security Guidelines Get More Bizarre by the Year

Dude, to other dude with a small backpack: Is that the new backpack nano? What do you have in there, an apple and a bottle of water? You carrying acorns around in there? One package of skittles? An abridged copy of...The Old Man and the Sea?
Backpack dude: Do I really have to explain my backpack to you?

--L Train

Overheard by: ultra-condensed movies

I just read that on Overheard In New York, and I gotta point out, the funniest part is that a hundred page novel doesn't really need abridging.

I'm tired.

09:45 pm - She gets what she wants and she breaks what she gets
I leave in a week!

I went to Target today (among other places) to find dorm stuff and I must say, our dorm is going to rock. I bought a shower curtain covered in goldfish. I tried to find it on the website to show my roommate, and I couldn't, but I did find this gem. Why would someone want an outhouse shower curtain?
I also rather spontaneously put a second hole in my left earlobe today, and am now pretty lopsided, but it's cool. Think I'm almost done buying things, finally...Now I need to figure out how the hell to pack.

I love The Morning Of.

11:25 pm - You can't win a race with a cannonball
I just can't go long without posting a guess-a-song meme. You know you love them, though.

# Put your iTunes on shuffle.
# Post the first line from the first twenty-five songs that play (no cheating!)
# Strike through the songs when someone guesses correctly.
# You must say the band name and song name for it to count.

1. I admit that in the past I've been a nasty, they weren't kidding when they called me, well, a witch. "Poor Unfortunate Souls", The Little Mermaid
2. I woke up to a drive-thru, had to hitch a ride to get myself fed.
3. The sun says "Welcome home," but I'm feeling all alone.
4. She doesn't see the coming fall, she doesn't show no fear at all. "Summer", Great Big Sea
5. This blood that's in our veins it carries all of these mistakes that we've ever made when we're not thinking straight.
6. Do as I say, not as I do, because the shit so deep you can't run away.
7. Have you seen that girl, with the strange look on her face?
8. Dear mother, can you hear me whining? It's been three whole weeks since I left your home. "Welcome To Paradise", Green Day
9. Well, well, well, what have we here? Sandy Claws, huh? Ooh, I'm really scared! "The Oogie Boogie Song", The Nightmare Before Christmas
10. Time takes a cigarette, puts it in your mouth.
11. As someone sets light to the first fire of autumn, we settle down to cut ourselves apart. "The Past and Pending", The Shins
12. Turn off your mind, relax and float downstream.
13. I'm missing your bed, I never sleep, avoiding the spots where we'd have to speak. "Screaming Infidelities", Dashboard Confessional
14. Foals in winter coats, white girls of the north.
15. You've done well, my boy, my ohhhh myyyy.
16. They're gonna clean up your looks with all the lies in the books to make a citizen out of you. "Teenagers", My Chemical Romance
17. Hard-earned friendship is a well-earned tear, falling form the brownest eyes.
18. I don't know you, but I want you all the more for that.
19. It's all in your mind, she said, the darkness and the light.
20. Every night in my dreams I see you, I feel you. "My Heart Will Go On", New Found Glory
21. Du, könntest du schwimmen? Wie Delphine, Delphine es tun?
22. She's cold and she's cruel but she knows what she's doing. "Just the Girl", The Click Five
23. I've seen your face a thousand times, have all your stories memorized.
24. All around me are familiar faces, worn out places, worn out faces. "Mad World", Gary Jules
25. I swear that I can go on forever again. "I'm Lost Without You", Blink-182

disclaimer: number 20 is a cover, okay? you can get it right guessing the original artist but just let me keep me cred, kay?

If someone would please buy me a Nikon D40 that would be very helpful. Thank you.
Edit: A D60 would also work. Either way.

12:19 am - put my last quarter on
My coworkers are really awesome when they're not being bitchy. Thanks to them I now have a delicious birthday cake, two cards (one handmade!), two packs of m&m's, a tie-dye kit (which I actually really wanted), a book about how to be a hippie (lol! it includes how to milk a goat, name your hippie baby, and make "oregano" brownies), and a really pretty graphic novel about mice (idk, I haven't read it yet but it seems like Redwall except pretty pretty graphic novel).
And my birthday isn't even until Monday!

edit: oh, the store owner signed the card "finally! 15 at last!". I will be 18. he is rather old but I CANNOT TELL IF HE WAS KIDDING.

09:42 pm - hello world
Hey...I may start actually posting again. I'm guessing you lot would like a life update.
Well I graduated in May. I'm glad to be out of high school but I guess I miss it because I am a sap. I'm moving to Pittsburgh at the end of August; I'm going to go to Point Park University to major in stage management. Right now I've been spending my summer working and cleaning the house and sitting around. I hate heat.
I need to brag again that I met Andrew McMahon last week.

I went to work today. And to the library, and to the salvation army donation place, and I made cookies, don't they look good? )
Woo productivity.

^^something mummy just emailed to me.

I just made a discovery- when you take the headphones out of the jack of your iPod, it automatically pauses. BADASS. this is why I love you, iPod. you are so small but you keep me company, and you are thoughtful and intelligent enough to pause for me.
I'm basically having a music party with myself and Oliver the iPod right now, yeah. I've done like, six loads of laundry in the past 24 hours. Also packed stuff, donated to Salvation Army, gotten a haircut and learned a new joke. Last night, during a bout of insomnia, I cleared a bunch of useless files out of my computer and emptied my spam folder. It was amazing.

Quick, everyone, what have I forgotten to pack?

01:49 pm - The embers never fade
Haven't done one of these in forever- have an iTunes meme, taken from [info]macbethchild :

# Put your iTunes on shuffle.
# Post the first line from the first twenty-five songs that play (no cheating!)
# Strike through the songs when someone guesses correctly.
# You must say the band name and song name for it to count.

Obviously skipping songs with no words. Also skipping the ones in German because I really really doubt you guys know them.

1. But you're not alone, Arthur! Haven't you noticed? I've been with you all the time! Twice In Every Show- Spamalot
2. Mr. Billy Flynn and the press conference rag.  Notice how his mouth never moves- almost. We Both Reached For The Gun- Chicago
3. We crossed the line, who pushed who over?
4. (Some latin) All that's known, in history, in science. Overthrown, at school, at home by blind men
5. When the world is full of women, every color, shape, and kind Pagan Girl- Emerald Rose
6. Coming out of my cage and I've been doing just fine Mr Brightside- The Killers
7. Welcome one and welcome all to our small town
8. I had a girl I knew, she grew, became a woman now
9. Planned a show, trees and balloons
10. It matters not that I was born of low and humble means Life Is Good- The Lost Boys
11. Dearest, darlingest Momsie and Popsicle What Is This Feeling?- Wicked
12. Don't get it twisted, don't get clever Don't Get It Twisted - Gwen Stefani
13. I've told myself so many times before, but this time I think I mean it for sure
14. Who do you think you are? Barging in on me and my guitar? Another Day- Rent
15. We'll rant and we'll roar like true Newfoundlanders Rant And Roar- Great Big Sea
16. Lonely the life that once I led. Strange, the paths on which we tread.
17. Today is the greatest day I've ever known Today- Ben Kweller (from the Smashing Pumpkins Tribute Album)
18. I've got a hunger twisting my stomach into knots The Sound of Settling- Death Cab For Cutie
19. "Well, I brought my own '45's, so if you put 'em on, I'll show you my stuff." "Haven't you already shown us enough?"
20. Temperature's rising, fever is high, can't see no future, can't see no sky
21. Some people stay far away from the door, if there's a chance of it opening up An Innocent Man- Billy Joel
22. They made a statue here of us and put it on a mountaintop Us- Regina Spektor
23. Because the world is round, it turns me on Because- The Beatles
24. Oh Darci, Darci, don't look so sad. Don't let the daytime get you down.
25. Another hero, another mindless crime. Behind the curtain, in the pantomime. The Show Must Go On- Moulin Rouge (yes, or Queen)

While I do have two or three here with the name in the lyric, I didn't include I Want You to Want Me, because that is just too easy.

Enjoy, everybody. I have to go back to trying to reread Harry Potter and quickly as possible.

11:52 am - Attention, attention, may I have all your eyes and ears
Hurray, new journal. I actually intend to post more often ever now.

Someone needs to make me do something worthwhile this summer. I went to Denver (they have diagonal crosswalks) and I'm going to an art camp next week (yeah, it's basically day camp. and I'm nearly seventeen) and Europe next month (hoooollyyy craaaappp). but right now all I do is sleep too much and work and occasionally actually go out and do something.

what's that over there? oh yeah, the seven books I'm supposed to read this summer. and the boxes I need to pack by next month.

In conclusion, I really need to go shower. And go to work. in a hour. oops.
And I'm freaking in love with this song.
