Firstly; I hope everybody is doing all right and continues to do all right. This time, I really do plan to fall back into routinely checking up on deviantArt; I think it will be good for me to at least try and accomplish something artistic to make up for the lackthereof in the past months... my English class has really been draining me of my desire to write; those essays are massively energy-consuming, even if our class has only written three so far this year.

Currently, we are reading To Kill A Mockingbird which I love; it really is growing on me, which I am glad for. I have not read a completely satisfying piece of literature in a long time... I really have shyed away from writing or reading anything outside of school.

Anyways, hopefully, everybody is doing fantastic and will continue doing fantastic.

In April, my school orchestra is heading over to Vancouver for two days to attend an orchestra clinic and a couple of master classes... I am ecstatic about the trip because I will actually be going out of the country and will be hanging out with my best friends! It's a whole new place for me and after our obligations, we are free to roam! It will be amazing; I know it. I really am hoping this field trip will end up pulling our orchestra tighter together as a group and as family; I really think we are dealing with a great group of people, our orchestra. I feel so at home and... I feel like I belong. I guess it sounds a little bit sappy, but you know... it really is a great environment.


Well; I guess that's it for now. I'll check up on everybody in the next week or so. :]

I would really hate starting off high school with anything less than a 4.0...

So. New Years' Resolutions anybody?

I plan to cut down on eating excessive junk food, and cut out fast food completely. Along with that, I really need to stop procrastinating my school work and just get it over with the day it is assigned. It would make my life that much less stressful.

But uhm... yeah. With that being said, I shall return to working on the assignment that was due two weeks ago.

...
I got distracted and forgot to actually add this entry to my journal after writing it. :];;

Anyways, hello there. :] I have noticed that deviantArt has slowed down quite a bit as of lately... it's kind of strange, but *shrugs*. I haven't had much time to look through my messages, but I appreciate every single comment and I get-- I'll be checking out other's work more often now than before.

I haven't had much of anything to write of as of lately; plenty of ideas come and go, but paper and pencil is never really around for me to get them down-- so they eventually slip away. Either that, or I get discouraged and my motivation runs dry.


Anyways, I submitted an entry to this year's Reflection contest. It's the first poem I've written since... I don't know; June or July? Or August?

I scribbled something down several nights ago; it was decent enough, I put it in some pocket and I remember taking it out and putting it somewhere... :/



Ahhhhhhh. <3 I'm going to a concert on December 7th called Deck the Hall Ball; it features a whole lot of bands, including My Chemical Romance, Taking Back Sunday, and Snow Patrol! I especially LOVE My Chemical Romance-- I've been listening to their CD non-stop since it came out... so gooooood.

Today, Carolyn, Kaitlin and I went to Bellevue Square; we worked on our Holiday Shopping, and I got presents for Kaitlin and Yaroslava. I know what I'm getting Carolyn, if nothing else. It was fun-- we had pretzels for dinner (soooooo saaaaaltyyyy).


That's about it. I would love it if you left me a comment or two and let me know how you're all doing.

I'm happy I've been keeping up with my homework. I haven't procrastinated much... mainly because there really hasn't been a whole lot to procrastinate. :3;;

Which reminds me. I had a dream last night where I was looking at my progress report... and I got full grades in every class, except there was always one or two assignments where I got a score where I was one point off of a perfect score. x| That bothered me.


Our school had a home game last night, VS. Liberty. I won't say much, but we lost. x_x; It was disappointing because we were doing sooo well until the end...


I like my teachers a lot. Mr. Calvert, my English teacher, has been my favorite so far. x] He's really cool and funny.

ahaha. My french teacher, Madame Collomb, was talking about French politics yesterday and it amused me. It was interesting.


All of my teachers are pretty nice. I'm happy. ^^


I've got my schedule down pretty well. I like the modified block schedule we have on Wednesday and Thursday. It's nice.

I ran the mile in P.E. yesterday and afterwards, I basically collasped on the ground. x.x;; Ugh. I forgot how tiring it was. My legs still hurt.


And uhmmmm... yeahhhhh... :] Hope you guys are enjoying school as much as I am... ]]> ~AcousticEnergy http://AcousticEnergy.deviantart.com/journal/9971502/ http://AcousticEnergy.deviantart.com/journal/9971502/ Mon, 04 Sep 2006 23:17:53 PDT ]]> ~AcousticEnergy http://AcousticEnergy.deviantart.com/journal/9913175/ http://AcousticEnergy.deviantart.com/journal/9913175/ Wed, 30 Aug 2006 22:21:20 PDT
I'm going back to school next Tuesday and boy, am I happy to be a freshman. I am really excited to be going back to school-- a new school. High school! It's amazing.

I don't know why but I haven't had the inspiration to write lately. :/ I feel like I should, but when I do... I... don't. I haven't had any brilliant ideas as of lately and everything is just... fine. Which is good.


Camp Orkila was amazing. I'm definately going back next summer-- I'm missing it already.


Since I got back from camp, I have just been kind of... moving along. It's been a very smooth road and it's slightly unnerving. xP;; ]]> ~AcousticEnergy http://AcousticEnergy.deviantart.com/journal/9472077/ http://AcousticEnergy.deviantart.com/journal/9472077/ Sun, 23 Jul 2006 20:27:49 PDT

I am going home tomorrow. ]]> ~AcousticEnergy http://AcousticEnergy.deviantart.com/journal/9254170/ http://AcousticEnergy.deviantart.com/journal/9254170/ Sun, 02 Jul 2006 19:27:15 PDT I have been in a fantastic mood as of lately and I just noticed that I haven't updated this journal since May 28th, so I guess I will now.

I went to the Seattle Center with my friends Carolyn and Devon today and we had a great time; went on a some rides, played in the arcade, and had lunche in the Center House. The weather's been great too and I am so grateful for our sunshine right now.


I am going down to Las Vegas in a week. I've never been down there before and all I've been hearing is that it's REALLY hot... I don't know if I'm excited to visit a new place, or sad that I'm going to be missing so many people; I'll be gone for three weeks and I'm not sure if they have a computer down there... >_< I am so dependent on my computer. At least I will still have my cell phone...?


I am planning to clean out my iPod of songs that I never really listen to. I will do that, then...


I should start packing too; I will do that as soon as my mom is done with laundry.

Wow, it's warm outside...


Wow, I'll be in high school in a couple of months. That's coming fast... I need to do my Summer Reading homework. >_< Crapcrapcrap. We are reading The Hobbit; I've never been good at long term assignments.


Well... life is good. I my boy.


I hope everybody else is enjoying their summer as well! ]]> ~AcousticEnergy http://AcousticEnergy.deviantart.com/journal/8897790/ http://AcousticEnergy.deviantart.com/journal/8897790/ Sun, 28 May 2006 00:34:39 PDT


I have $2 and my mother has about $80 in her bank. It's sooo great... My father won't deposit any money this weekend (even if he was SUPPOSE to deposite it LAST WEEK!!) because, apparently, the bank is on holiday. Bastard.

I will just have to find something to do that won't cost money. I'd like to go outside and play tennis but it's FRIGGEN RAINING!!

I should walk to Crossroads tomorrow and spend the whole day alone, with $2, a camera, a cellphone, my homework, and a notebook. Hmm.

Oh yeah. It'll be a Sunday... and Monday's Memorial Day.

I could spend the whole day playing DDR. Haha... hah... ha.


*flappability's latest journal entry inspires me. Go read it.


I want to be a professional cellist when I'm older. Fuck the guitar. Fuck singing. >_> The cello pwns all. Ehehehe.


I sent a letter to my love on Wednesday or Thursday. He received it today (Saturday) and that made me happy. When I talked to him on the phone today, he sounded really happy. That made me happy too. He makes me smile. A lot.

... He's also really good at distracting me. D: Oh wells. I miss him. I've told him that about a million times already in the last two days... but that's okay. :]


I have an essay to write about gay rights & marriage. It is going to rock because... I have many good resources and... yeah. My essays usually don't come out too bad.


I have my own graduation to attend, in a couple of weeks... scary-- but hey! I'm heading off to California in about a month. I'm really really excited to get to see my cousin again, and to visit my dad's bakery in Las Vegas. Then, in August, I'm going to CAMP ORKILA!!! That makes me soooo happy.


I am really working to become a better person, for myself. I want to become skinnier. The healthy way. I want to happy with myself and I want to give back more to others because I know I ask for a lot out of others. I want to know myself better and become deeply in love with everything; playing the cello, writing, photography, my friends, my family... I want to be able to feel good about myself without bragging. I want to be self-sufficient. I want to give and I want to love, unconditionally, and I hope I'll be loved back, unconditionally. I want to be a guinely kind and loving person.

... I really do.


I love all my friends. Everyone of them. I love anybody that has ever said anything positive to me and anybody that's helped me become a better person through their honest critique. I love my family. I love anybody that has ever supported me in what I do, whatever it may be.

I love love love love love you guys and gals.


I want you all to know that I appreciate you and my life would have been different without every one of you. ]]> ~AcousticEnergy http://AcousticEnergy.deviantart.com/journal/8387812/ http://AcousticEnergy.deviantart.com/journal/8387812/ Thu, 06 Apr 2006 19:02:34 PDT They're fun.

Rules: The 1st player of this "game" starts with the topic "6 weird habits/things about yourself" and people who get tagged need to write a journal about their 6 weird habits/things as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave a comment that says "you are tagged" in their devpage comments and tell them to read yours....

1. I talk to myself. A lot.

2. I cannot stand people who "don't care," because frankly, there are people who do care and you're fucking it up for the rest of us.

3. I cannot stand people who swear excessively. "Over the weekend, I did all this shit and my mom was fucking pissed as shit! Oh my god, it was hella fun and shit, we got into so much fucking trouble, it was hella crazy." I cringe when people use the world 'hella' because it sounds really really stupid.

When you cuss that much, you need to shut the fuck up and get a new vocabulary, okay?

4. I am highly vulnerable to contageous things, like yawning and laughing.

5. I can seriously fall asleep anywhere.

6. I am "visionary."



Those weren't that great... I'm tired. x_x I got to get to doing my homework. I was listening to the radio about how to focus on a project. I forgot one of the steps but I'm gonna try it.

- Bibliography for the essay,
- Finish the Math WASL prep. packet,
- Make flashcards for the French ch. 5 vocab.
- Plan out poster.
- Prepare lunch & clothes for tomorrow's field trip.

- ... *puts up away message on AIM & MSN*


My poster is going to be awesome! I went to Michael's today and bought a string of pearls, some lace stuff for bordering, silver glitter and some vintage-looking paper to mat my pictures on. They're really pretty. ]]> ~AcousticEnergy http://AcousticEnergy.deviantart.com/journal/8338825/ http://AcousticEnergy.deviantart.com/journal/8338825/ Sat, 01 Apr 2006 23:20:34 PST two thousand pageviews! Wowzors. Thanks to EVERYONE who has been visiting my page, it means a lot to me-- even if you're just passing by. It's really nice to know that people are noticing.


Special thanks to these folks, because they've watched me since... a really long time ago, and I wake up every morning to fresh comments every day that I submit a new deviation... ... and also, because you all are so supportive of what I do. Your support is so greatly appreciated, you wouldn't know it... I love feedback like a fat kid loves McDonald's.



and also,





I love you guys!! ]]> ~AcousticEnergy http://AcousticEnergy.deviantart.com/journal/7938848/ http://AcousticEnergy.deviantart.com/journal/7938848/ Sat, 18 Feb 2006 23:17:39 PST I get the whole next week off from school. It's really wonderful. To kick things off, today me and Carolyn went to see "The Date Movie" (I ran part of the way to the movie theaters, so I'm happy about that-- I usually hate running, but Carolyn was biking, so...) with Alex Bentley and Joe-- it was hilarious! But it wasn't exactly memorable, it's one of those movies you laugh at when you first see it because it's so weird and retarded, but you don't really talk about it afterwards; it's not memorable funny, like Anchorman, but it's pretty funny. I went to Carolyn's house when it was done and stayed over to eat dinner (I love her parents' cooking), my mom picked up at 7:30 or something and we went to Safeway to get food, 'cause my appartment is lacking of anything and my mom's afraid I'll starve myself, haha.

I feel schizophrenic sometimes, besides the fact that I know the way I act differently in different settings. I hate it when I give corny advice, like "Follow your heart" (I've never said this before, I swear...) and then, sometimes, I wish I'd listen to myself sometimes. I also realize that I sound extremely stupid sometimes and I don't really know it until I've done it... haha. I also have those "HAHA I'M BETTER THAN YOU" moments and I really regret it afterwards, because nobody likes a show-off & I tend to be a little bit overconfident and competitive sometimes... *cough* I have a lot of those "HAHA I WIN YOU LOSE" moments and a lot of those "Oh, fuck, that made me look like a complete jackass" moments.

I'm planning to have a picnic or something with my friends later on this week. I want to learn to play football. xD I think it'd be fun, since the weather's been so nice lately, besides the fact that it's basically -1651 degrees outside. x_X;; It's so cooooold. Today, I heard on TV that it's been "record breaking" how cold it's been. It's crazy-- but hey, we've got sunshine!!

I just drank a whole bottle of Propel in one sitting, so I need to go pee right now. At Safeway, I got chocolate chip pancakes-- some of the BEST STUFF IN THE WORLD. I also got a couple of microwave dinners, b/c it seemed like a good idea at the time... baaah. We just finished our unit on Nutrition & Eating disorders in Health and I'm already going back to eating too much. And I don't get enough exercise... meh.


On Thursday, we had a Karaoke machine set up at lunch and I signed up to sing "Drops of Jupiter" by Train (great song). I made Mila come up and sing with me, it took me a bit of effort to pull her up there on the stage, but when everyone began chanting her name, she gave up and just came with me. It was a load of fun and a couple of people said we sounded okay.

Fuuuuudge. I forgot to bring my cello home from school. I can't practice now... Our next concert is on the Wednesday of the week that we come back from break, over at Interlake High School. It's the big Northzone Concert, with the high school and four or five elementary schools. Our finale piece, that ALL of us will be playing together, is Ode To Joy. The songs that WE, Highland Middle School, will be playing areeee... "Michelle" (by the Beatles-- sounds beautiful, listen to it!), "Bradenburg Concerto No. 5" (Bach, I believe?), "Themes from Moldau" and "Viva Violas."

Carolyn is going to be gone for the majority of next, next week... the week we'll be returning to school. She's one of the people who I mostly hang around at school and it's going to be awfully lonely without her... especially in Orchestra, she's my cello buddy. I guess it'll be a good opportunity to get to know other poeple, I mean, yeah. I guess so. It's a good thing that I'll be hanging around other people; me & Carolyn spend A LOT of time together, we're like... inseperable. It won't be that bad without her, I guess, but I'll really miss her.

Currently listening to... Green Day - Wake Me Up When September Ends (LIIIIIIVE)
God, I love this song. Especially the live version on Bullet In A Bible. When you watch the performance on DVD, Billie Joe is on the edge of tears when he's singing this song.
Well, the song just changed... Disturbed - Prayer. ]]> ~AcousticEnergy http://AcousticEnergy.deviantart.com/journal/7840261/ http://AcousticEnergy.deviantart.com/journal/7840261/ Wed, 08 Feb 2006 17:50:06 PST
I miss my camera dearly. I miss it oh so much.


I am going to the Interlake High School orientation for eighth graders in an hour. It lasts until 8:30 PM and the Grammy's start at 8:00 PM. The Gorillaz will be performing and I'm curious on how the hell they're going to be... on stage, you know? xD They're all cartoons. The Nominees this year are... interesting. Weezer got nominated for Beverly Hills and Boulevard of Broken Dreams got nominated for something. Gwen Stefani got nominated for a bunch of shit and it annoys me. Greatly. I think Fall Out Boy got nominated for Best New Artist, which is crazy, because well... I don't know, I never knew they'd become that big. They're okay, though, but Panic! At The Disco is so much better and the singers sound similiar, you know? There are so many other bands that deserve to be nominated and it's sad that they didn't make it up there.

Anyways... we'll see who wins tonight. The Killers' "Mr. Brightside" got nominated for Best Song of the Year, also.


It is getting brighter outside! It was actually sunny today. It's still cold, but I love the sunshine.


Blah... I don't feel like writing this anymore, so I'll... update later or something. ]]> ~AcousticEnergy http://AcousticEnergy.deviantart.com/journal/7680994/ http://AcousticEnergy.deviantart.com/journal/7680994/ Sun, 22 Jan 2006 22:35:58 PST "(a tiny piece of protein) transmitted from cattle suffering from the..."

I want to be the photographed. For once.


I take so many pictures for the yearbook, but I'm never in any of the pictures because I'm the photographer. The other photographers are in there, but not me. Nope.

There aren't any pictures of me in the Halloween section because I was taking pictures of others in their Halloween costume.

And who will photograph when Tennis starts?



I feel very left out right now.

Because there are somethings some people will have common with each other that I never will, I feel like. I feel so left behind right now.

For example, there's that whole music thing that I'm not filled in with. Who the fuck is Bob Dylan? And what's so great about the Beach Boys? And what century was this? I feel like I'm missing a whole fucking century here, someone PLEASE fill me in. I wish I was more passionate about this kind of thing, but I'm not and there's a huge fucking HOLE in my musical library. ]]> ~AcousticEnergy http://AcousticEnergy.deviantart.com/journal/7522258/ http://AcousticEnergy.deviantart.com/journal/7522258/ Thu, 05 Jan 2006 23:01:28 PST I love this song-- "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)" by Nancy Sinatra. I heard it in the beginning of Kill Bill. Great movie with a pretty awesome soundtrack. I liked it a lot.

"Bang bang, I shot you down
Bang bang, you hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, I used to shoot you down.

Music played, and people sang
Just for me, the church bells rang.

Now he's gone, I don't know why
And till this day, sometimes I cry
He didn't even say goodbye
He didn't take the time to lie.

Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down..."


Anyways! I was going to include highlights of 2005 from others' galleries in the prior entry but I am so easily distracted, it isn't even funny. It kind of is, but not really. I'm a horrible procrastinator.

I feel like I'm not going anywhere with my writing until recently; I've been running around in circles, not getting any better, just writing the same old thing over and over and over and over again. Writing that whole song, "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" gave me hope, slightly, because... well, goddamn, it's a whole song! BY THE WAY, I made a preview image for that poem and it looks good, I think. The more you look at the blood stain in the corner, the less real it seems.


SUGGEST ME SOME SONGS AND BANDS!! I have a craving for new music. One of my resolutions was to acheive a more varied taste in music. I'll do that same to you if you'd like, just give me a clue of what you like and I'll try my best.

It is crazy how much I love Green Day. And how much I want an electric guitar. And oh my fucking God, Billie Joe's guitar is SO FUCKING AWESOME. Check out the music video for their song "Hitchin' A Ride" on my MySpace. ( [link] )

I have a new xanga, by the way, not that any of you actually read my xanga previously... except a couple of you. Drop by if you like, it's pretty empty right now considering that I made it just yeeeeesterday. My username is "goodloveisontheway." ( [link] )


I... am planning on getting a new Livejournal. And a new AIM screename. Maybe. I'm falling back into that weird habit of moving around; like, in the sixth or fifth grade, I'd have new accounts every two month. I like the idea of starting over again, with a clean slate and... stuff. I already wrote about this in LJ.

I like repreating things, too. Goddamn, I've got some problems...

And goddamn, I need to stop saying that and fuck, I'd like to stop swearing. That was one of my resolutions.


OH WOAH! This is my first 2006 entry.

You know what I think? I think 2005 was a more of a mourning period than anything; There were so many good events in 2004 and 2003, and 2005 was kind of the year where we dealt with all the leftovers. Kind of. Like, for example, Green Day's American Idiot was last year's kind of big thing and they're STILL rockin' the charts and stuff. I mean, I was reading the Grammy Nominees and I freaked out when they weren't nominated for anything. Then, I remembered that they were 2004. haha. BUT! "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" DID get nominated for something.

There are a bunch of crappy nominees this year; they're not completely bad, but... it's an odd variety. Gwen Stephani got nominated for a bunch of things... not very happy with that.


This was basically me, rambling. Nothing important, really. And oh damn, I HAVE MIDTERMS NOW!!! In Math, at least, because I forgot that it was a highschool level class. haha. Uhm.... yeah.


Peace out & take care. ]]> ~AcousticEnergy http://AcousticEnergy.deviantart.com/journal/7414196/ http://AcousticEnergy.deviantart.com/journal/7414196/ Sun, 25 Dec 2005 13:37:59 PST
And to those who don't, please enjoy whichever holiday you celebrate (and I apologize for my lack of knowing any of them...) and have a fantastic New Years! Enjoy the Winter season! ]]> ~AcousticEnergy http://AcousticEnergy.deviantart.com/journal/7313979/ http://AcousticEnergy.deviantart.com/journal/7313979/ Wed, 14 Dec 2005 21:45:02 PST I'm turning FOOOOOOOOURTEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!

What a lovely number. ]]> ~AcousticEnergy http://AcousticEnergy.deviantart.com/journal/6995756/ http://AcousticEnergy.deviantart.com/journal/6995756/ Tue, 08 Nov 2005 23:45:39 PST Everyone Is so full of shit!
Born and raised by hypocrites,
Hearts recycled but never saved,
From the cradle to the grave.
We are the kids of war and peace,
From Anaheim to the middle east,
We are the stories and disciples of
The Jesus Of Suburbia!

Land of make believe,
And it don't believe in me,
Land of make believe,
And I don't believe,
And I don't care!

---

Dearly beloved, are you listening?
I can't remember a word that you were saying.
Are we demented? Or am I disturbed?
The space that's in between insane and insecure.

Oh therapy can you please fill the void?
Am I retarded or am I just overjoyed?
Nobody's perfect and I stand accused,
For the lack of a better word, and that's my best excuse.

~Green Day - Jesus Of Suburbia



I think I am going to clean out my gallery a little bit, clear it out and delete one or two things. I'm getting tired of submitting writing that don't mean a thing, scribbles on the margin of my notebook paper in the middle of Science or Social Studies while I'm thinking, "Oh yeah I got something down, I'll submit it to deviantART even though it's a thorough piece of crap." God, I hate this side of my personality; the face that just wants to please people no matter what. It's embarrasing to say, but I obsessive-compulsively check my message center. The last poem ("I Wonder Why") and there is no emotion being put into the words at all, there is no thinking involved, no restructing or building and I hate it. I shouldn't have waited to the last second to write it. I can only hope that it makes it to the Finalist round, at LEAST. I am fucking jaded. I am not writing for myself anymore, I am not writing because I feel something so tremendous that I've got to put it down into words before it goes away. I'm writing because I want someone to tell me that I can still write, that I'm still good at it, that I'm good enough. I think I need some time alone.

Like I said before, I'm going to be doing some storing away and/or deleting. So watch out for that. By the way, the deadline for the Reflections contest is tomorrow. I wrote something for it, but it is FAR from my best. It kind of sucks, actually... but that's exactly what I thought about "Like In Those Old Cartoons," when I first wrote it. Ha. I wrote and revised that poem in less than two hours. Amazing.


I've got straight A's this quarter! The end of the quarter is tomorrow. I have Thursday and Friday off because of Veteran's Day and Thursday is a teacher's day to get everything graded and turned in. One A-, three A+'s, and three A's. I'm determined to keep it like that for the rest of the year. I've got the highest grade in my Science class, haha. That is far from my favorite class in the world, but I'm proud of it.


Some songs I've been listening to lately:
Right now, I'm listening to You Can't Always Get What You Want by The Rolling Stones.

Audioslave - I Am The Highway
Audioslave - Doesn't Remind Me (I can play this song on the guitar now!)
Fall Out Boy - Pretty In Punk
Franz Ferdinand - Do You Want To
Green Day
Imogen Heap - Headlock
Imogen Heap - The Walk
Jimmy Eat World
The Scence Aesthetic - Beauty In The Breakdown
Weezer's Maladroit album


I've been practicing the guitar and as you've read above, I can playing "Doesn't Remind Me!" It uses a couple of basic open chords, nothing too hard, but I'm really happy that I'm actually improving!


I've got to finish this essay for tomorrow. I'm making a "graphic novel" for Language Arts and you can see the rough draft of that in my scrapbook. I'm not a good visual artist at all, so it's nothing super great. I've got some Math work to catch up on, but that's not due until next Monday... In Orchestra, we're practicing Christmas songs to prepare for our concert at Bellevue Square on December 15th... which is coincidentally also my birthday.

And last, but not least, today is my mom's birthday! I made her a card. I also got my friend to sign a seperate thing for her. She liked both of them, but she was kind of confused why I was telling everyone that it was her birthday...

Whew. Long entry. ]]> ~AcousticEnergy http://AcousticEnergy.deviantart.com/journal/6788353/ http://AcousticEnergy.deviantart.com/journal/6788353/ Mon, 17 Oct 2005 02:05:51 PDT
It's stupid, really.

I keep falling behind in class and at the last moment, at 2AM in the morning, I'm rushing through everything, most of which I can't do because I don't pay enough attention and I get so frustrated, I cry.

Then I promise myself that I will be absolutely prompt in turning in class assignments the following week.

I don't, I fall behind and it just happens all over again. Fuck. Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, FUCK.


Oh, and I lost a total of $20 that people have donated to me, which I was suppose to turn into my school's music program thing. Well, I used about $10 of it on Saturday because I was going to the movies and I needed money. I was going to ask my mom back for the money, but I forgot and now I'm freak out because I only have $2 left to give to the music booster program out of the $20, and I swear I had left $5 behind. $20 that I had collected from my uncle, my little sister, Mary Foye (a lady that works in the office of my appartment), and this one other person who chose not to give me her name.

I feel so bad, I can't find the money anywhere so you know what I did? I cried. My mom told me she'd give me $20 in the morning, but now I just don't have the appropriate information to turn in the sponsor form and it's due tomorrow...

And this whole sponsor program thing depends whether or not our class goes to Seattle Center at the end of the year. The last time I checked, the competition between the seventh & eighth grades and the sixth graders was REALLY close so this $20 might fuck it up for all of us.


FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.
Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, FUCK.


I don't understand SHIT about this Math assignment. We have a test on this tomorrow. ahahaha.

Not funny.


My head itches like a bitch. I just washed it a couple of hours ago. GEEZ


Look at this, I'm procratinating again.

I am so fucking dumb.




Sorry. That was extremely whiny. ]]> ~AcousticEnergy http://AcousticEnergy.deviantart.com/journal/6589785/ http://AcousticEnergy.deviantart.com/journal/6589785/ Sat, 24 Sep 2005 11:59:18 PDT

Currently listening: Blink-182 - All The Small Things

Note: I'm going to be taking one or two things out of my gallery and putting them in storage.


The Green Day concert at the Tacoma Dome is on Monday... only two days away! I'm really happy to say that we've (me, Mila, Lucas and Dylan) got all the transportation stuff sorted out, so everything is going to work out hopefully. I am sooo excited, it's going to be my first ever, real concert.

Life isn't bad, but I'm stuck at my house with nothing to eat. Dx ... Well, you know what? I'm going to make Ramen. Hooray.

I'm doing pretty good in school. I'm geting most of my homework done, but I'm still doing that procratinating thing so I'm not getting enough sleep... or that's what my mom says, anyways.

Sooo... I'm not sure if I'm doing anything with anyone today. Carolyn's visiting Mt. Rainier today! Tomorrow, I might go to the movies with James and Carolyn. We'll either see Roll Bounce or Tim Burton's Corpse Bride.

Uhhhh... I think that's it. I'll edit this entry later if anything comes up.


Thank you to EVERYONE for all the support!

Some very wonderful people I'd like the world to meet:
-- Thank you for being so supportive for my writing, and everything else. You're always willing to read the things I throw your way, as spontaneous and random and annoying and unconvenient as it is for you. xD; Your comments means a lot to me.

-- You are such a nifty girl. Thank you for being so kind and supportive of my writing and ESPECIALLY for those long, heart warming comments you always seem to throw my way.

-- You are so sweet. Thank you for constantly commenting on my submissions and for all the kindful, unconditional support you've given me...

-- Thank you for all the comments and always being so positive... I really appreciate it. ]]> ~AcousticEnergy http://AcousticEnergy.deviantart.com/journal/6405366/ http://AcousticEnergy.deviantart.com/journal/6405366/ Sat, 03 Sep 2005 12:30:38 PDT
I was at a party the other day, organized by some of my friends and I realized how much of a loner I really am. It was kind of sad. I feel pathetic saying this, but I really need more friends... or I want more, at least, but the friends I already have are fucking fantastic, I love them all.

I'm glad school is starting on Tuesday. It's something to distract me from all this shit. My parents are fighting again... and don't tell me, "Parents always fight, that's just the way they are." I've heard that too many times and I'm getting tired of it, because... you can't tell me that nothing's wrong, something IS wrong.

I really wish my mom would stop using divorse as a threat against my dad and just fucking GET IT OVER WITH. Our family doesn't need my dad, he hasn't done anything for us for the last three months except make our home life worse and bitch at my mom for the stupidest shit. ]]> ~AcousticEnergy http://AcousticEnergy.deviantart.com/journal/6340550/ http://AcousticEnergy.deviantart.com/journal/6340550/ Sat, 27 Aug 2005 07:59:26 PDT [link]

Last night, I went to sleep at about midnight and couldn't get to sleep until a little bit past two o'clock. I tried getting on the computer, but the internet just wouldn't work. I tried to fix it but nothing worked. I got back on (right now) and everything is working fine. I don't know what happened there... I wrote a little bit more than eight pages last night. Two poems and a piece of prose, that isn't completed /just/ yet...

These aren't actual sized notebook paper pages, of course. I have this little notebook that's about half the size of one.


Goddamnit, I can't seem to fall asleep anymore. I always end up waking up at six o'clock and having to fall back asleep, then waking up at noon again. Listening to music at night doesn't help anymore, it just gets plain annoying after a while. Writing has some kind of effect, but not really.

I have to be at school by 7:15 on Monday for orientation and I'm there until 2:00. Blargh. At least we get pizza after the sixth grade orientation...

Currently listening: My Chemical Romance - Give 'Em Hell, Kid


And I don't get the whole issue with bands, like Green Days, being sellouts... yes, they're somewhat more mainstream than they used to be, but how does this much them less awesome than they used to be? I love them... I mean, I discovered them through their American Idiot album, which a lot of older Green Day fans are like "THEIR OLDER STUFF IS BETTER THEY'RE OVERRATED." And how about My Chemical Romance? Yeah, personally, I wouldn't label them hardcore screamo, or whatever, but their music is still good, right? Why label it? Why is it that, to some people, the more popularity a band receives, the worse they are? I mean, sure, you're trying to be individual or whatever, but good music is good music. I listen to a whole range of music, from System of a Down to Backstreet Boys to A Perfect Cicle to No Doubt to Vanessa Carlton to... I don't know, you name it. My point is:

MUSIC is just MUSIC. People shouldn't put labels all over it. Get over it if some bands are more popular than others. Good music is GOOD MUSIC. I don't know WHY some people need to judge it. Their is no wrong answers in music.

God, I don't know what I'm thinking anymore. Things just get really abstract from there and it gets harder to put into words that actually make sense.


I should just stop trying to analyze everything.

"I'm so alive.
I'm so enlightened.
I can barely survive
A night in my mind.
I've got a plan,
I'm gonna find out just how boring I am
and have a good time.

'Cause ever since I tried
trying not to find
every little meaning in my life,
It's been fine.
I've been cool
with my new golden rule.

Numb is the new deep.
Done with the old me
and talk is the same cheap it's been." John Mayer - New Deep


Longest entry EVER.

I'm fucking hungry and cold and I fucking need a shower. I think I just caught a cold and I'm just a slightly cranky bitch right now. ]]> ~AcousticEnergy http://AcousticEnergy.deviantart.com/journal/6302298/ http://AcousticEnergy.deviantart.com/journal/6302298/ Wed, 24 Aug 2005 00:52:05 PDT I've been writing so much [more] lately, it's really great... I got a new guitar on the 19th, last Friday. I love it. Will post pictures whenever possible, next time... whatever. I have to take a shower very soon, so I'll make this quick.

A special 'Thank You' to...

you got two little girls at home begging for your attention.
one's 13, crying herself asleep tonight, but you just won't listen.
hey you, you're a husband.
you got a wife that's working seven days a week,

hey, you,
you got another 50 years to smoke away.
how about getting a job while you're at it?

you're trusting two dices to bring you a miracle.

you're
her husband,
