Uh... OTB (what else would I write about..?). We had some ghost hunters in (CPRS), and it was really interesting! They brought a PC viewscreen, showed us some ghost multimedia, and showed us their awesome gear. Best of all-- they weren't idiots. They were all techies who had a ton of expensive equipment from their normal jobs and they just shared the interest of seeing if ghosts exist and whatnot.

They had this video where they were out hunting in a funeral home and supposedly it was all silent to them, but during part of the video of their hunting, when they were watching it later, had music playing in it and a voice singing, and the ghost team interpreted it to be the sounds of a wake. To the kids listening to it it sounded like Stairway to Heaven, however

They were really cool, though, they brought in a bunch of unknown pictures, and definitely they were not 'crazy' as they were trying to find out if ghosts were in places through scientific means, even if their interpretations may've been off.

They brought night vision goggles, recorders, etc. all sorts of stuff. it was fun to play with...


Haunted Haus was amusing, as well, because katesimpson was there. I went through first and I ran through it way too fast, though, which was stupid. I missed all the monsters because I'm such a failure at life. It was still fun though.


This week we're having in someone to talk about Wisdom of Crowds phenomenon, and next week we're having the lovely beesy in to blow our minds with bellydancing, and we'll be doing that with some spicy food made by Colin. That kid has too many talents.

I like AIS now. Was humbled after getting my grade back, because I'm a doooouchebag. I have hilarious teachers, fortunately.
Spanish teacher's still a harpy.

Wot else? Nothing. Except my parents are going to kill me for my grades, I suppose. I'll add more to this later.

First it was out of the box, we were making the poster for activities fair, which was kind of fun. We just drew all sorts of random stuff on a poster and it was really surreal and fucked up. Colin was being his usual inventive self and went in to numerous different characters and accents, and it was very interesting.

Then afterwards he showed me his AP art portfolio, which was pretty cool-- he has an interesting style, and then we just started talking about RANDOM stuff, it was the least linear conversation I've ever had in my life-- I was legit scared at parts because I had no clue what was going on.

We'd talk about something we had in common for like one minute, then he'd remember something absolutely strange he did once, then that would remind him of a book, movie, comedian, etc, and we'd talk about that for a while, he might go in to some characters with voices and stuff, and then we'd go back to normal conversation for a minute and it would start over again. Very interesting.

Most disorientating of all-- if he got excited enough about a topic, he, at a couple times, invented entire stories in his head, improv, on the spot, with multiple characters, having respective personalities and voices each, abd acted them out on the spot. Literally, he'd start acting, unprompted, in the middle of a conversation, and it was incredible! The stories were really trippy and hilarious, too, just incredibly creative. And he didn't stop acting until the entire story had been resolved. Like 20 minutes of straight acting, each!

One story was about a guy being told by some sort of god's voice to look for his father, and then the god's voice carved a map in a tree which told him where to go. The map took him to a cave where he spent the night, and then wakes up and some creepy guy who knows him admits to having watched him sleep for the past 5 hours. Ends up being the traveler's father, who lives alone in this weird cave. They have a conversation for a long time that is incredibly strange about the people/family that used to live in the cave, which people die in because it's impossible to really get out of it. The only food is tea made out of bugs and eating rocks, horrifying the late dentist. A day goes by, the father offers a bed made of mushrooms to the kid. The bed of mushrooms gives people rashes that are strange but kind of pleasant, in particular gave the father a rash shaped like another map that has an exit map to the cave that he never really thought about as an exit map. Some other trippy stuff happens, the end, and we're both laughing our asses off because we have no idea how the FUCK any of that story came about (we were talking about amish people before that, or something).

The second story started off as us parodying sex education to young children that describes having a baby with the stork. Then somehow our idea of the stork morphed in to a gangster badass because the stork stepped in wet cement and left a stork print in the sidewalk. The town gangster crew, led by Tony the Italian gangbanger of course, super-realistic accent included (I thought a different person was making the voice for a few seconds, it was pretty shocking). The gangster is freaked the fuck out by the stork's footprint in his neighborhood's sidewalk, because the stork is a violent badass evidently, so he hires a hit on the stork. The hitman is paid 7 grand to shoot the stork and he ends up copping out, leading Tony to kill the guy. Tony then dresses up as a stork to sneak in to the stork's lair and, while looking for the stork, monologues his plan to kill it only to be interrupted by the stork. Fighting ensues, and the stork agrees to back off and give Tony his money back, or something along those lines.


It was the coolest thing ever. He is so much fun to talk to.


I had a bit of an email problem, too. This kid logged on to a computer under his name and I used it to email myself something. Instead of logging out at the end of the period, he just shut the computer and handed it to me, so I plugged it in and was still logged in to my file. Some asshole in the next period class then made the wild assumption I'd just logged in and left it on intentionally, so he made the decision to email me from my own email account to fucking state the obvious: "don't leave your email turned on with a live computer. be a bit more careful, it is necessary to turn off the computer before you shut it down."

As if I don't know that, DEE DERP DEE DERP DUMB TEE TUM. And then he signed it, best of all, with my teacher's name My teacher recommended he do this because it might seem stranger if I didn't know the person who was emailing me. WRONG! It scared the shit out of me, I was freaking out for like 2 hours becau... ]]> ~FOOLY-COOLY http://FOOLY-COOLY.deviantart.com/journal/27142212/ http://FOOLY-COOLY.deviantart.com/journal/27142212/ Thu, 10 Sep 2009 22:30:05 PDT
Meditation club might be during my lunch! :U


That aside, many potential events to go to.

1) Chicago ghost conference. Speakers all day Saturday Oct 3. 30 bucks. Anyone interested in coming? Actually, don't waste your money. I don't think I will, although I'd get great amusement from it.

2) I might go to Celtic fest to watch my spanish teacher dance. She danced for the class and it was a bit interesting, would like to see it as a group. Would win me teacher respect points. She's a bit of a mom-ish person, so she doesn't have the insane shtick, which is refreshing, I find.

3) Lyric opera singers free concert tomorrow. Wait I can't go, nevermind. Don't really care much.


GSA is a trip. SOOOOO many new kids, including two British dudes. And they brought even MORE people.

One gripe: THEY'RE ALL SCENE KIDS. I was helping make the poster with a few other kids, and the vast majority of them were meanwhile talking about screamo, scene fashion, hot topic, emo boy bands (and how hot they are, nothing about music of course), etc. So far they seem a tad heightened on a pedestal for being in GSA, particularly one of the British kids, but that's only my second impression of him, so who knows. My reason for thinking this is that we made that big GSA poster again and a bunch of them signed their name like '-NAME- is in this club!!' and then later in the hall the same kid was like 'OPPRESSION.' That's right, not 'End Oppression' or anything, just 'Oppression.' I should also add, because I'm a judgmental asshole, he was wearing spiky wristbands...

Sadly, I can't really go to GSA much anymore, because OTB is on the same day And this year we're actually going to be productive. Ah well.


Integrated is, again, wow. I am filled with lulz constantly. At how insanely mindblowing it is. All the kids I work with are always talking about drugs in one way or another, though (just in my small group). I can't wait until we learn more about group altruism/cooperation/freeloading/its importance on a larger scale. That ought to have some effect on how we cooperate, hopefully. Last time we wrote an essay I was really overworked because 2 people of four didn't do anything at all, and I ended up rambling for two questions without actually explicitly connecting it to answer the question in explicit terms because I was so rushed. One of the kids is great though. The history teacher is hilariously creative, the science teacher is, er, still unfamiliar ground, but uncommonly good-natured.
I attempted to speak pidgin the other day as a part of class. It sucked so hard. It took me 3 minutes to say, "There was a hit and run." Awesome exercise, although I'm not quite sure what direction we're headed in yet, or at least not entirely. And don't even get me started on the mammoth exercise! I can't talk about that, however, because Kate.

Class is amazing. take it.


AIS is kind of slow. I feel sort of timid about writing about America like I have to, because I feel like I don't KNOW anything about America, even though I do. There's also this one annoying chick in my class that will raise her hand with such impatience, it's humiliating to watch. While others are talking, she's waving her hand in the air, stiffening her arm more and more you'd think the thing would detach itself and flutter away, as she's mouthing her answer, rolling her eyes, lolling her tongue-- it's just appalling. BE PATIENT, FUCKER, AND TELL YOUR FRIEND TO SHUT UP. And whenever she speaks it's wonderfully inept. This other chick just kind of repeats whatever the person before her says. Steenwilly is Steenwilly: he just says outlandish things that are the equivalent of verbal Rush Limbaugh rule 34, and it's almost artistic in how different it is from everything else I hear all day.

In short, I dislike half the kids in my AIS class, because they are the type of people I was hoping to avoid in all of my studies. But the other half are pretty cool. Or at least four or five.

Shared ideas, etc. My teacher is hilarious, he wants us to try and find a guy who thinks he's really the Phantom of the Opera. Where does he get these ideas?


And this kid Colin is crazy. We were talking about the school's new printing policy and he's like "Oh yes, when I was a sophomore I used up a lot of paper. I wrote a one hundred eighty-five page story."

Baffled, and with everyone basically laughing at how amazing this kid is, I asked, "Jeez, what was it about?!"

He didn't remember! What an interesting kid.



Consensus for the Out of the Box ad has been reached, we're going to use the image I previously designed and posted on dA that is also a t-shirt design. And the meditation club ad, although finished, needs to be edited for time and day because we don't know when it meets. Hopefully I'll be able to go this year, if he decides to make it period six. Also Gus wants me to edit the transitions more.



INTEGRATED. Is cool. Take that class. Best part of my day.
AIS is sort of meh. I like my teachers a lot, and a few classmates (STEENWILLY!!!), but I dislike most of my classmates. And already our first project is bleehhggh.

Math teacher is nice. But I just failed my first quiz I need to work!

Gaahhh. Take that class if you can, and not because it's funny. The questions in it are just fantastic, and the class is made to fit the learning styles (and sometimes schedules) of individuals rather than the class as a whole.


I'm actually awake for math class this year, and I like my math teacher. She taught the TELL class on backpacking through australia so she has my respect. And she's a lax teacher, too, not an asshole like my last year's teacher.


I like my art teachers a lot more this year. It's the same two teachers, but now that I know them a bit I like Mr. B a lot more. He's such a nice guy! And we have a great class with ackjack, ro, and the lot. Going to be awesome.

A lot of the sophomores in my Drawing and Painting class are insanely good at drawing, it's VERY scary.

So yeah, everything's good. Although things have been awkward, sort of. I broke a window the other day because I was PO'd. I meant to hit the door so my dad would stop ignoring me, but I hit the window. All for a silly reason.

Been awkward since then And my parents have been weird every time I get angry, even though I'll be in the middle of sleeping and they'll be blasting tv and laughing their asses off, or blasting music, after opening my door and leaving it open because they were checking on me or something. Honestly, a groggy sleeping person is going to get pretty angry after that sort of audio bombardment.

Finished meditation club ad more or less. Let's see what Sir. K and GussoBravo think.
Still have no clue what to do for out of the box. or something.
Kid is ok with me not having the candyland images done. Woot, I still have time.

Summer reading book is really good. I read it really slowly for a few hours last night/this morning, I didn't really sleep. Had to force myself to put it down.

Getting my textbooks today, hanging out with kate, practicing violin for a couple hours, violin lesson, going shopping for clothes thank god.

Went on a bike ride this morning. Ach my internal organs are killing me, I hate caffeine.

I now type h with my left hand, it makes it harder to type g without screwing up :U

I've been thinking about spanish class a lot lately because it sucks.
This girl I know in DC also has language lab, but they only use it once per year even though it's hyped to be super duper important.
Of course the reality is that the language lab is balls, but the difference between us and them is that we use that crap at least once a week because it's super duper important.

It's like a textbook activity, except you click :C

I'm going to go practice violin. Getting my hair cut today.

Random stupid post sorry.

My birthday's coming up august 18, which means I have my 4th year marker on here in just a few days (august 15 or something is when I started).


As far as updates go...

Haven't really done any art this summer (dear oh dear I dislike the new hmm emote muchly).
I drew a skull that was in my room and practiced drawing the human skeleton halfassedly, thassabout it.

Trying to start that art club at NT next year. The coheads-to-be have been utterly unresponsive because of summer, and so have the, er, 58 members, that are all unsuccessfully waiting for someone else to do something. Way to take initiative guys!!! Alas, they'll pull through eventually, hopefully before I go on a stress-induced bitch-rant, as I am sometimes prone to :C But I've been inactive, too, so I can't criticize much.

I never got to working on that kid's flash game for candy land. Really got to get my ass moving on that! Can't let the kid down. Alas: my computer peetered out and died and with it went my software, that was of course, er, legally obtained to begin with. Been an obstacle, somewhat.

As far as other summer activities go, I had physics this summer. Not much fun. Mr. Drozdoff was a cool bastard, great sense of humor, the next semester's teacher was sweet but kind of unusual, kind of depressed me. She was sweet to say the least. My physics tutor. WAS AWESOME. Nur Stille was a total badass, we just talked about movies, comedy, music, youtube videos, and all sorts of other random shit that had nothing to do with physics. When we did talk about physics, it was about stuff that was actually interesting. Strangely, he spent half the time laughing at me. Dunno why.

I also had summer XC. Wasn't very consistent this year though. I couldn't really wake up in the morning at 5:30 consistently like I could last summer. Last summer I actually got there early, this year I missed half the practices in a given week and missed the last two weeks entirely. I was really unhappy for one week for some reason, and the next week I just couldn't wake up. Cop-out.


I was a counselor at violin camp for some little kids. The last day of camp was a performance of our silly music pieces. I had liberty spikes that day because later I went to a VNV Nation concert . I told the parents I had had a physics presentation on static electricity, and they believed me... and loved it Except one mom openly showed her disgust, it was kind of horrifying. You know you've struck a nerve when an older woman of supposedly higher manners returns your smile with a scowl... It was a lot of fun anyway. This random dude took a lot of pictures of me, which was embarrassing, and I lost them because my emails were all deleted somehow (I'm on a roll...)

VNV Nation is great, by the way, check out their music (their better known songs on youtube, at least). They're some sort of futurepop/techno/synth music. Frontman is an Irish guy, funny bastard. Stopped in the middle of a song to belittle some kids for trying to start a mosh pit, yelled at the people on the bars, etc. Ayria and War Tapes opened, they weren't great, but I'd probably have liked Ayria more if I'd gotten there in time for more than one and a half songs



I started playing piano. Speaking of piano I'm not sure how I'm getting to my lesson tomorrow. I guess I'll be biking. It's fun, wish I'd started playing sooner. Maybe I'll actually learn to read music on higher and lower measures Helia also wants me to practice 2 hours a day... on the same song... on one page. Er. Let's see how that goes.


I still haven't made it out to renaissance faire yet . Woe, but I'll be going to Lollapalooza for once, and with Maria. It's an expensive-as-balls concert and I never really planned on going...ever... but I'm full of shit, so I'm going.


In the process of making some adverts for Meditation and OTB club. I have NO IDEA what I'm doing for OTB, I have to actually make something funny which should worry everyone... But I think I'm going to use a fractal animation for meditation club. This really... ]]> ~FOOLY-COOLY http://FOOLY-COOLY.deviantart.com/journal/25151454/ http://FOOLY-COOLY.deviantart.com/journal/25151454/ Fri, 05 Jun 2009 21:00:11 PDT
My computer crashed a while back, and I thought I lost everything (all of my old art that I never uploaded to here).
Turns out i had so many things on my desktop that it crashed the hard drive. I broke the apple store record for most things on a desktop woot woot.

But I got most of it back, all of the stuff that was important, anyway. I have all of my old music and photos and art, and hopefully the vast majority of my word documents are still intact. I had some out of the box lists of ideas and members-to-be that would be a shame to lose.

Aside from that, the family dropped Lindsey off in Michigan this weekend. Horrible. Several hours in a car there, we do nothing when we get there, and then back, and I still have to do all of my physics homework before tomorrow because I have a test.

I feel like an exhausted, bloated crippleperson.

I really want to go to sleep away camp. Alas. Physics. I want to go to an art camp that TEACHES YOU scientific stuff. I want to work on anatomy, perspective, light and shadow-- but not from observation, I want to learn the science behind it! But I can't find any good stuff in the area right now :<


Gay pride parade was interesting. Uh..


I haven't done any art this summer except a drawing of a skull that's in my room. Aside from that, really nothing at all at all at all, it's terrible.

But life's pretty good regardless.

3rd of July was amusing. I got my hair cut and then I spiked it like 6-7inches total. It sort of failed, but was pretty fun, anyway.

All of my finals were really easy. Math took like 3 days to study for and I didn't sleep for two days straight, though. Despite that, the test itself was easy as balls. Also, people are jerks and they talk during the goddamn final.

I'm only going to miss history class, really, and even that not so much, because I'll have Mr. K next year in Integrated (a class I am nervous as hell for). Aside from that, I'll miss spanish most because AckJack and Paulo were in my class, and they're hilarious. They creeped out my creepy teacher.

Out of the Box club is way too awesome. They had two Vietnam Veteran speakers come in, one Vietnamese and the other was American. They both had a lot of wisdom and intelligence, as well as emotion, and they talked about some heavy stuff: perspective, history, hatred, behind the scenes of war, killing a man, camaraderie, life and death, and enjoying life. Really interesting stuff.

Er... I really want to see The Magic Flute by Mozart, but it's not playing anywhere xD
Going to have to wait for that...


I'm taking 7 majors next year because I'm taking Integrated History-Science in addition to AIS if I can get in to the class. No free period, early bird, and seven majors. I have only four academic and one art major this year. Yikes!


Looking forward to summer. I'm actually looking forward to taking physics and cross country. I want to learn physics stuff so I'm better prepared for AP Bio... so in some ways I feel kind of guilty for not taking AP Bio next year. But I'm still taking it.

I'm also looking forward to some various festivals and stuff. Ren Fair I want to go to, definitely, but there are a bunch of other things. And I found this interesting art place in Chicago where you can drop-in for 15 bucks and draw a live model. They also have a really interesting class on getting you to see things in three dimensions.

I'm apparently going to semi- get a job with my violin teacher. You just look after kids for an hour, basically, and maybe try and teach them a little violin. I won't get paid, but it'll be a good experience, I guess.

Obviously been inactive lately. Sorry. I occasionally stop in to browse the forums (and spew some bullshit) or procrastinate from my homework by checking out the front page/DDs.

Aside from that, I haven't been able to do much digital art because I get really distracted with the internet.
And I don't find it as much fun as traditional... and my hand on the tablet is rather clumsy!

Also I had to stay home from school because I burned my brain out with the computer screen. I spent like two days straight on the computer working on a design and an english project, and it worsened a pre-existing migraine.
I went to school Monday and whenever I focused on an object my peripheral vision was moving. Terrible.


But I'm finally finishing off the out of the box picture, although I still dislike my approaches.

None of which are particularly interesting, by the way. Most of them are just doodles I did right before bed, so I will only upload a few... Wow, looking back, these drawings really kind of suck.


I went to a haunted house yesterday for a school trip, and it kicked ass. Optical illusions, visual disorientation, mirrors, gore, chainsaws, and more. I haven't had that much fun in a very, very long time (which is probably a bad thing).

The actors never left character, it was impressive. I was laughing my ass off half the time, It was really enjoyable...
But for those of us who are coulrophobic, a return visit would not be advised.
God I loved it.


I might rejoining karate again, perhaps after a season of track or cross country. I really miss it, and there's still someone I know taking it, although all of the old senseis are gone and we've got some korean chick teaching us new katas. So no more Shotokan, what a bummer. Also, there's a new dojo. And no more Jack Pressman. And I haven't done karate in an entire year.

So...yeah.

Also, anyone looking forward to a return visit from MSI... they might come back after a lengthy digression to England? Maybe? It looks like they won't be back until next summer

At least The Killers and Hot Hot Heat will be touring, except no one really likes them so I don't know how that's going to work out.


How's it going? More importantly, what are you going to be for Halloween?

Anyone have the assignment for Catcher in the Rye? Meh.


I finished reading this really long book... it took me forever...
and it didn't have an actual ending It was obvious how the story continued, because the author basically said it in the last couple pages. But the ending didn't actually happen...

Ah well.

Driver's ed is finally almost over.
OH GOD I DIDN'T POST THIS: [link]
He's the nicest guy in the world!


Meh. School will be interesting, with clubs, and Meeks, and whatnot. I'm bringing my camera to that "protest"...

I feel kind of bad about not doing Cross Country and whatnot. But I want to try out Glassblowing, Weeaboo club, GSA, art club, and all that other shit Twill be fun.


OH. It's my birthday on Monday! We're getting together and stuff...and there must be cake! My relatives are here for the weekend to help celebrate.

I will finally be 15. I keep forgetting that I'm 14. It's very silly...


Sorry for the large upload of weird scraps a while ago. Contests for dA's birthday. I won a 3 month sub for my sister (it was a prize you had to give, not receive), a feature from LMC-Chat, and something else that I'm unsure of. That day was fun, although I did spend almost 24 hours on Chat

Nothing much new for me, except I have the school day off, which is great.

My day today has been pretty interesting/strange.

I went on a walk to Plaza Del Lago, where I found a lark on the ground. I picked it up and moved it in to a flower pot, as it was young and could not fly upwards. That was all I could really do for it. It was adorable.

I asked some random lady what to do with it and she spoke to me as if I were absolutely brainless.

Then I bought chips, because I was in the mood, and a frappe at Starbucks, which is something I never do.

I brought the chips home and, after some basement cleaning with my parents, I decided to start drawing some things in my basement-art-area.. which is filthy, by the way.

So currently I'm drawing a picture of five belts and, for some reason, it's very fun.
Also, I think it looks pretty good so far, which is a plus. So I've been in my basement
eating chips and drawing belts. Ahah.


I guess what's so great about today is that I've had time alone to do things that I haven't done in a long time.


The only thing spoiling my plans is my parents' dinner plans. We won't be able to see fireworks. Oh well.

Sorry for writing this, I felt like it.

Also, I have four spider bites. They freak me out.

]]> ~FOOLY-COOLY http://FOOLY-COOLY.deviantart.com/journal/19043009/ http://FOOLY-COOLY.deviantart.com/journal/19043009/ Wed, 25 Jun 2008 16:54:24 PDT Just so you know: Mood ≠ Gloomy. My emote thing isn't working.

Anyway, summer's been going on for a while..in case you haven't noticed..

For all those who don't know, I'm doing summer school cross country and summer school chemistry.

Cross country practice is at 6:30am, so I wake up around 5:00 or 5:30.
It's actually quite nice, but it requires that I sleep all day.

Chemistry is pretty cool, mainly because our teacher is BEAST.
Yet a precious few of my classmates are a thousand times not quite beast..


In one of our labs, we had little plastic capsules with holes in them that could be filled with water (they resembled the round end of an eye dropper, except without the long part).

A test tube has Hydrochloric acid in it. We drop a piece of zinc in and Hydrogen is given off inside the test tube. The test tube's stopper has a tube coming from it, where the gas escapes.

The goal is to put the round plastic capsule on the end of the tube and collect the gas while leaving a tiny bit of water at the bottom of the capsule.
Simple enough, I guess.

We do this part of the experiment, and then we've got a capsule filled with gas and a tiny bit of water.

Then one girl says, "Is the gas in there now?"

Are you fucking out of your mind. Did you not just see the gas go up the tube and displace the water in there? Do you not now see the CLEARLY VISIBLE GAS in there?

Then, to check and make sure, the girl tips the capsule sideways to peek inside or something.
As a result, the small amount of water at the bottom that holds the hydrogen in the capsule moves along the side of the capsule, allowing the hydrogen to escape.

The second part of the experiment (sparking the gas we collect to see how much it pops) does not work because the gas was let out. By the time we retry collecting the hydrogen, the hydrochloric acid is nearly finished releasing the hydrogen and we have to start over again.

"Is there any gas in there?"
It haunts the corner of my mind.

She's not a ditz, she's just vacant.

Her gaze is haunting because you look at it and you don't quite see a personality.. just a glazed-over, vacant stare.


Alas, the rest of the kids in my class- save for a few- are really cool, though. A lot of them are taking like.. 5 art classes next year. Pretty cool.



Also, I've read a few books:

Velocity by Dean Koontz - was OK at best. Good story, mediocre writing
It by Stephen King - fucking amazing.

I started the DaVinci Code, but then decided not to read it until later.

And now.. I'm reading As I Lay Dying by W. Faulkner.
All I can say is: Faulkner, what the fuck?

I don't know how to read this book. The punctuation is all fucked up, the sentence structure is all over the place.. is this sloppy editing or am I not getting something?

Then there's this totally preposterous section.
Try and understand this passage:

In a strange room you must empty yourself for
sleep. And before you are emptied for sleep, what
are you. And when you are emptied for sleep, you are
not. And when you are filled with sleep, you never
were. I dont know what I am. I dont know if I am
or not. Jewel knows he is, because he does not know
that he does not know whether he is or not. He can-
not sempty himself for sleep because he is not what he
is and he is what he is not. Beyond the unlamped wall
I can hear the rain shaping the wagon that is ours, the
load that is no longer theirs that felled and sawed it
nor yet theirs that bought it and which is not ours
either lie on our wagon though it does, since only the
wind and the rain shape it only to Jewel and me, that
are not asleep. And since sleep is is not and rain and
wind are was, it is not. Yet the wagon is , because when
the wagon is was, Addie Bundren will not be. And
Jewel is, so Addie Bundren must be. And then I must
be, or I could not empty myself for sleep in a strange
room. And so if I am not emptied yet, I am is.

Well I'm feeling very lackluster at the moment.
Hence the end of this journal.

I just deleted a LOT of old comments, sorry.
Some of them dated back to November, actually, so it was about time I just started fresh.

Deviations, on the other hand, are reaching 400. I will try to look at all of the recent ones sometime.

Hm.. I'm not used to writing journals.
Well, let's talk about school!



Finals are quite soon! I should really begin studying (just one more comment..please...one more..)

I wrote my Portfolio a while ago- it was complete bull, but I worked hard on it..
Well, no, I did it at the last minute. Still, I think everyone's was bull.


Trev Expo was one hell of a project! I loved it so much, our topic was Animal Cloning.
Our presentation was nerveracking in front of the teacher, but I believe we gave the students visiting some what-for.
I found our lack of business disappointing, especially seeing as we had animal cookie cutters, sheep stickers, and a fun game of fact or fiction..woohooo! (okay, not that exciting)
It didn't help that our title 'Counting Sheep', though clever ( ), made it sound as if our project was about sleeping.
In our defense, if anyone would bother reading the 80 pt font that said 'Animal Cloning'
underneath the title, then they would've gotten the picture.

Ah well. It was fun.

We had a research paper for History, too, which is a nightmare. We had a month to do it, but I got behind and only really got in to the core of it about a week before the due date.. so I totally..blew it. I just blew it. I'm so embarrassed. I left out so much and it was so incomplete.. It was missing too much info, missing too many citations, I didn't HAVE TIME to make a Bibliography. I only made a Work Cited page.. and yet the paper was TWO PAGES over the limit!

THAT FAILS

Even if the paper was okay, I'm going to miss SO MANY points for not having basic requirements!
It's especially annoying because every day after school I spent HOURS sitting by myself in the cafeteria trying to write and make my points and everything.

Grr, I wish I were more productive! Beautiful letdown, eh?

I was supposed to do well on that- it was essential that I did.. and I blew it.

Somewhat ironic that I made a move to move up in history because I was

a) too nervous to approach mr. english teacher.
b) doing slightly better in history and I figured I could try.

Now, the tables have turned. I'm doing relatively worse in history and now I'm thinking I should stay the same in history because mr. english teacher asked me to move up in english..

Which is also pretty embarrassing because I put a lot of energy in to getting all the papers signed for history and now, fuck, wait.. I don't really deserve to move up in history and now that I've put in the energy to move up I've got to move down again.

URHH.. I'll definitely make the change, but I'll hate the process.
I'm feeling much dread.

Ah well, that's me.


Aside from that, I just got MSI's new album IF.
I love it.
I hate it.

Hrrr.. so I'm confused. What I love outweighs what I dislike, but I'm more disappointed by it than excited by it.
Probably overanalyzing it.


Also- we're reading Things Fall Apart in school and it appears no one has bothered to learn how to pronounce the characters' names.

Okonkwo.
O-Kon-Kwo

Ikemefuna
I-Ke-Me-Fu-na

Yeez. I can understand not getting it at first, but after a while I would assume that one would've figured it out or sounded it out.

Er.. Samantha's home from college for a few days, which is cool.
Yay.
That's it.

I'm one lucky moron, so I'm going to see MSI.
I'm actually very nervous and somewhat fearful. :U
But excited.

I can't really give anyone/many people a ride because I'll be going with Rick (Maria's husband),
and I can't make him responsible for a bunch of people that he doesn't know.

So you've got to get your own okay from your own parents and find out what their conditions are, because you can't say, 'Michelle has an adult with her'. Just imagine I'm not going.


I figure you can get the info for the concert yourself.
I hope you can go..


Highlight of france trip

-5 hour rehearsal...yeah, wow..
-playing concert..well, 4 concerts w/ little children and 1 final concert..lots..but it was awesome
-French music theory and chorus lessons- I was not a participant in the chorus lesson, but we (8 of us) sat encircled by about 40-50 French kids singing and a piano. Awkward.
The music theory class was really cute. There were really small kids learning to figure out what beat is what. They sang stuff and they marked in the length of notes. Interesting
-Tartiflette! YAY.
-Learning to play Wii from Phillip
-Lille, Brussels, and Nausicáa trips
-Leonidas
-Dinner w/ Lottins and my parents
-Elise and her family were really nice

I totally failed the first one.

Instructions: Make a picture showing internal space. Here's a template.

I did a landscape. I tried to make it fit the template, I failed to get anywhere even close, and it just looked like shit.
I obviously didn't follow directions D:

_{Lauren's pic was really fucking cool, by the way, hopefully you'll see it sometime.}

The second lady was OK. I wasn't impressed by her work. She wasn't that great, and yet she was picky. But still, it was good to practice shading and charcoal.

Overall, the program was more than worth it. I don't have much time for art, so any time made for it is nice..



Err.. Math class sucks, but what else is new?

I found out I have to

•Write my research paper
•Write my revised contract
•repare a presentation
•repare for presentation questions
•AAAAAAAAHHHHH

In 10 days.

Good luck with that, Michelle.



MSI's new album 'IF' will be released April 29th. Yesss..

Don't have much to say, just that I've been super-inactive..
And FairExposure seems cool..
and the whole 'collect' option is lame..



So- how are you all doing..?



If you want to talk about..
school, art, music, life, any thoughts, anything you've realized, something in the news, something that happened to you, something you did, how you're feeling, something that you need to rant about, your opinon.....

..or whatever..

And there was a charming story!

A cop is drunk, driving on the wrong side of the street and partially in the center of the street..
he was speeding...
and there was footage of him drinking in a bar.

His car slams into another person's car and KiLLS a girl..

The cop refuses to take a breathalyzer..

The judge lets him off saying there 'wasn't enough evidence to prove he was drunk' because he didn't take the breathalyzer and he might not have been drinking alcohol.

To make things better, some asswhipe at the bar said, 'the cups may have been full of fizzy water'.

No DUI, no charge, no nothing.


That just makes me so angry.
And judges aren't allowed to be fired unless they break the law..
HOORAY FOR TEH CORRUPTION.

Anyway.. nothing important going on.
Except it was a snow day yesterday.
Supposedly, NT never has snow days,
this is the first time in about a decade?

Who knows if that's true.


There were some dogs in my back yard.
So I went outside.
And they weren't nice.

So I took out my baseball bat..
and stared intently at them.

Then I went inside.



I think it's funny how my parents talk to themselves. It's really weird.

*Watching TV*
Mom: I LOVE YOU, STEPHANIE!!!

*chopping onions*
Mom: ughh, onions.. this is terrible.
Me: ...
Mom: She's looks too young..

and I underestimated how I did in English.. I thought I'd get a D on the quiz, but I got an A, so now I have a B in English. WHEW.

Other classes are going okay..


Hot Hot Heat/Louis XIV/Editors concert.. WAS AWESOME.

Waited outside for about an hour and a half. My left foot froze, but we were second in line.. and all the Louis XIV boys came out while we were standing there, but I didn't really say anything, but _'hi' and 'hey fellas..' to some techies..or roadies.. whoever.. The dude behind us was an ass.

Well..
Let's see how I did on my list:


• Photo and audio! - YES
•Near stage or bust! - FRONT ROW!! Front and center!
•Sock! (don't ask) - The techies pushed it offstage..
•Warmer weather, hopefully above 5º. : Above 5 degrees, but still freezing!

The show was AWESOME, except the Editors sucked.
The lead singer was just BAD. His antics might have been cute, but only if I were totally enamored with them to start with, and their entrance was weak, so I wasn't.
But Hot Hot Heat was great, and Louis XIV were really, really, really cool..

Steve Bays was like an arm's length away- he came up the the barricade..
And I was hoping they'd play Jingle Jangle..
And they fucking opened with it, it was EPIC.



The Editors played last, so we left the show early..
and we got our picture with the lead singer and the guitarist of Louis XIV.. yesss..
They were to be found in a liquor store.._{the drunk bastards...}

Soon I'll try and get myself to get my messages sorted through..

I just don't really feel like thinking about the internet.

Who knows- since it's a long weekend, I might be totally wrong and I'll be more active..

But right now I'm thinkin' not.




So..

First semester finals..

The weekend before was hell, sort of.

I'm happy with all of my grades, I guess. I didn't get any "bad" grades.

Except I wish I did better in math. It was a really easy test, but somehow multiple choice math problems are easy to slip up on.

It would have been nice to do better in science, however, the test was crazy- CRAZY- so, at the same time, I'm pretty happy with it.

Whatever. Finals are over.



I also got some fabric paints: red, yellow, blue, black, white, metallic silver.. and they work well. It's way too much fun to use them.



HotHotHeat+LouisXIV+Editors concert next Friday...

That'll be cool.

Saw an awesome play yesterday..Turn of the Screw? it was fascinating: the lighting, the reflections, the acting
[thanks, Kate]

And it was really cool, my grandfather was talking a bit about his family and such..

And we watched some silent b/w family films from like 70 years ago. My grandfather's dad owned a movie business, so the movies are really clear and stuff- they've got their old clothes on with their old cars in the background, it's awesome.. Also, the films themselves were cool- they had some cut film parts where- for some comedy bits- other films had been cut and put into it and there were the old-fashioned subtitles and stuff, too, it was great..

I thought I had audio-recorded some of the stuff that was said, but it turns out that when I opened the program on the computer and pressed record- it stopped recording once I pressed 'sleep'.. I didn't want anyone feeling weird about being recorded, so I wanted the screen to be black.. and damn it- I got 17 seconds of my mom talking about dinner plans and that's it.

xmas is coming up. I still have to go xmas shopping xD

Not exactly as cool, crazy, or ballsy as I'd have hoped, but there's a reason behind it.

mindless seli findulgence

It's sort of lame, but who cares...

Mastermind, Prescription, and Never Want To Dance are good enough tracks..
Except Never Want To Dance sounds like a love song, which is weird.
Love it anyway.

English class today was soooooo bad.

Thinking about it makes me so angry..

aaaahhh.. we never get anything done.. and two girls, which shall remain nameless at this point..

a) give a bad meaning to Flying Spaghetti Monster. On the plus side, both my teachers know what FSM is..
b) as funny and "cute" as they are, uuuggghhhhh
c) they never think before speaking, so they say stupid shit all the time.
d) Hey, they say smart stuff all the time and participate often.. But I'd like it if they stayed ON TASK and didn't just constantly blab..
d) sooooo annoying
e) exempt from rules,, or they just act like it
f) SHUT THE HELL UP, I don't care about your cutesy, endless pop-culture references. It's distracting! YOU'RE FEEDING THE FIRE. They're not the ones solely responsible... but when two girls, joined at the hip and brain, are talking at the same time as if they're sitting in a car on the way to the mall... doesn't help.

Okay, done with that.

SWR's Myspace.. they have Kidnap The Sandy Klaus up for download, and it's sort of cool..

Is coming up..
right after their expected album release (no actual date yet)

That would be a cool show to go to! An album release show.. especially because it'd be more just MSI fans, so better, more offensive songs..

Also- it's an album tour.. so that'd be the first that any of would be to..

HOWEVER, I will be heartbroken if I miss it, so I hope they skip Chicago altogether..lol

Anyway, SWR street team is cool and weird.
One example being the SWR search engine. You search and win points, it's really awkward and tedious. I've found myself typing 'filial', 'arpeggio', 'gentile', 'ff', and lots of other random words in a lot.

Sorry if you've sent me a message within the last week.. My messages are gone
Well, that'll get fixed eventually. Computers are weird.

Anyway, it's been more or less decided that this summer I'll be taking a school course so that during the year I won't have to.

That's cool because I can take 2 art classes next year, one being a major, and I won't go completely stupid over the summer..



Holidays are here and coming...

I've forgotten Hanukah! My family has not celebrated a single day this year!
Could this set precedent for the years to come?
No more Hanukah.. That sucks..
Wow, we're bad Jews.
Ah, I don't care.
But I care.
But I don't!
I love Hanuka!
I could care less..
WTF?!

"The Jewsies.. Our hebrew cousins.." -Wukas (spontaneous outburst that caught much epic lulz and demanded a brief explanation).

December 25 is coming and I'm.. broke? Not quite.. But I don't have a lot of cash and I'm bad at giving gifts..

Sorry, I don't have much to say..

School was hell last week, and I fucked up on another science test,
but it's all good.

And at least NOW I know the Kreb Cycle..

CURSE POP-QUIZZES THAT WE GET ON A REGULAR BASIS!
Yeah, it's my own studying laziness.
The entire test was perfect (save for one)
until the bottom of the scantron... 7 in a row wrong.. hilarious..

Which sucks, cuz I was working towards an A, and a 68% isn't exactly going to help me..

I've already said too much about this, it doesn't really matter.
Good week this week. I like it.


Also, I want to move up in Spanish class, but the only other class there is for Spanish
is during E/H.. and that's my favorite class ever... ever..ever..ever..

*dies*



It's for a project.. some questions I have to answer..

that's going to take hours, XD


(I'm not asking these questions to you)

But man- the old one must me crap.
My pictures all look way worse on this computer! There are mistakes that only this computer can see..

Do you guys notice them, or is this screen just way too good for it's own.. good?

My teacher liked my essay, which is hilarious. I thought it was awful.
So I spent a month beating myself up for it..

Then it's judgement day.. we get our essays back, and I'm like WHAT?!


And then I got a ridiculously high grade on a math test.
Which is ridiculous.
Because it's a math test.

But it still didn't do much for my grade.. and my parents are going to kill me when we get our quarter grades.. which is soon..

"OMG I am very disappointed in you, you got a B- and a C+ on these two tests, and what's this D for? Oh, a homework quiz? I don't care if it was only 4 points, it was an easy 4 points... NAGNAGNAG.."


And The Killers have a new album coming out.
WHAT?!
Their last album came out this time LAST YEAR. That's crazy. I went to their Sam's Town tour like.. 5 months ago.. and they're going to start touring again.. that's ridiculous..

I told her I want to do track.

She wants me to do fencing.

I make it clear I prefer track and want to get better at running and that I don't really enjoy fencing much..


So she guilt trips me and makes me out like I want to get better at fencing and don't really enjoy track.

'it's a smaller team, you'll get to know people..'
'What about this summer, didn't you like it? I thought you liked it..'

GOD.. Stop telling me about what SAMANTHA did. I'm not Sam. I don't care if I suck at running, I want to do it..

By the way, if anyone can answer- in track, are you forced to participate in every different activity or can you just pick your own event?

And the rest..



Well, cross country just ended. Got a ton of stuff to do this week...eeek...

Well, art class is getting better.. but I can't wait until we finish drawing ourselves. Boring.
Lindsey's really good at still life and animals and such, it's crazy. I can't seem to draw a picture of myself.



Orchestra.... the French kids are coming. During Halloween, so if anyone wants to hang out with them with me, because I have to, or they can hang out with us, or whatever- I don't speak French at all..I'm screwed.. it's going to be really awkward..

It suddenly hit me that Wilmette is insufferably boring.
I went on a walk around Wilmette and all I did was go to Jewel and buy chips.
That was the highlight of my weekend.


Gahh.. I can't see anything that's labeled Mature Content, which sucks.

My major problem with it is that before you could choose to have it on so you weren't automatically blasted with inappropriate pictures..

And I kept the filter on and I'd click Display Anyway if I wanted to. Now I don't have a choice..

And a lot of my friends (people that I know or intentionally watched) submit mature stuff so I can't even see what my friends write/draw! It's ridiculous.

It makes sense to do it, but come one, I can't believe it can just be censored. Some of the best things I've seen are mature content, and some of the most graphic weren't even labeled Mature..

But I liked it when we could choose.

Also, there was a funny pic I saw that was titled 'BOOBS' but when you clicked Display Anyway, it was a calculator with 80085 on it. Now I can't see it again..

Jeez, I should have made myself 99 like Lauren..


Also, what if you're under 18 and you write stuff that's got mature content in it, sounds pretty silly, doesn't it?

I'm looking for a topic for a global citizen volunteer work project.. for school..

I find one that seems perfect...

scroll down.....


YOU HAVE TO BE CHRISTIAN TO DO IT!

That's RETARDED. What-- the fuck. Want help? Then don't exclude people who aren't Christian, you selfish fucks. If religion really matters to you in teaching a Chinese family ENGLISH- then you're obviously only in for it so you can recruit a few more members to your church.


They can kiss my ass and go to hell, the fucking idiots.

I think what it is is that there's so much I want to do:

Buy new fabric markers, and use them
draw stuff, and finish something for once in my life
fool around on Garageband for my entire life
play music that isn't violin
write my essay
go for a run
buy some clothes or something..
do a project with my friends
Watch the Our Pain Your Gain MSI dvd ( I have it, but I have to keep myself from watching it until I have people over..*dies*)
Watch all the crap on my iTunes
Find my iPod, then upgrade it
get some nifty software
list things..
drink some coffee..
yattayatta
check my messages on dA

there's just so much shit I don't have time for that I spend all my time thinking about it and not actually doing it.
It's like I want to spend my time doing EVERYTHING, but I actually don't have any time for any of it.

Urgghh.. that's my only complaint about school- takes up the entire fucking day.

By the way- I learned a recipe for beans.. and it involves orange juice..

YAY. Beans.

Dude, I've never been in a mosh pit like that..

It was awesome, but I felt like I was going to die.


I spent more time pushing against the people who were suffocating me than watching MSI.

But it was crazy.

They are the only band that can get a lot of people shouting

"CHECK YOUR CROTCH! CHECK YOUR CROTCH!" Over and over again.

Jimmy had props. It was awesome. There was that stupid doll thing.. then the umbrella...


He shoved the microphone down his pants..



One guy was totally awesome. We were stuck together in the mosh pit.

We were screaming

"I can't wait for you to knock me up
In a minute, in a SECOND

I can't wait for you to shut me up and make me
hip like bad ass.."

at each other.. it was great.

And then we did it again later with

"Getit?
Get it?

Get it?

You just don't get it!

Get it?

Stupid motherfucker..."


Good times.





The Bled SUCKED (though the dude had a cool voice)

Saosin was actually really good. Good chords and stuff. Good show.

And then MSI kicked ass..

I got some pics. I'll post them. I couldn't take many because of the moshing. And a lot are blurry.

And then I thought my camera broke (battery shifted) so I didn't get too many.



Okay.
For the record

Lyn-Z is HOT, okay? Seriously. She's the only hot person in the band. How unfortunate for me XD


Lol, I spent forever on this shirt thing that basically said:

I Love you,

Jimmy
Steve
Kitty
Lyn-Z
MSI

on it in cool lettering. I was going to throw it onstage (would've been great) but I MISSED the stage and it fell on the ground and it's sort of depressing,


Didn't get any signatures. We didn't stay long enough. But if we stayed any longer, we'd have passed out from dehydration.



I have some recordings on my phone, yatta yatta..

It would have been cool to steal someone's seat and stay for the rest of the show, but we only stayed for 3 hours, as opposed to..9.. but I wouldn't have been able to make it through the day. And 3 is plenty.

I was hoping mom and dad would eat dinner there. But no. And that's okay.

They didn't play any songs from Tight, and they only played one new song. But it was great.
I hope they come back soon. But they're on tour in Europe.


I'll post pictures soon.


Sorry for being so angry the day before and of the concert. I've been like that lately and I don't know why.

We're still screwed. But it might work out.


I'm sorry for being so pissed off in my journals.
I've just been really confused lately and pissed off at my parents for being pissed off at me and each other and pissed in general.. So, I'm swamped.

It's basically my fault and responsibility (though your laziness).

One of you have managed to get a ticket (other than Kate).

That ticket did ensure you were going.

But I don't know about anyone else and whatever.

BLA. Enough deviantART. SCHOOL.

]]> ~FOOLY-COOLY http://FOOLY-COOLY.deviantart.com/journal/14400178/ http://FOOLY-COOLY.deviantart.com/journal/14400178/ Wed, 29 Aug 2007 18:27:12 PDT
It's obvious why I'm pissed, but there's no use throwing a hissy fit over it.
Long story short: if you want to go, get yerself a damn ticket and I might be able to get a ride.

It may be too late though. If I can't give you a ride, it's partly your fault... and the rest is Maria's brother's fault.
But her brother is out of our control, so it's really mostly your fault.

Anyway.

I pressed Apple P after making a graph, and it PRINTED!

You have no idea how cool that is.

My printer worked. Which means I can also scan.
But I have no drawings. Well, yeah I do. But not many off the computer.

My old tablet is M.I.A. and is now presumed dead. So after two weeks or so of waiting, they shipped a new one. Working on something now for someone on MySpace, who I don't know (NO, you cannot have my SN. I like being anonymous VERY much. All I do is stalk bands, anyway).

I'll be done with it.. later.


High school is actually pretty good. Mainly because it's going smoothly (assignment notebook makes life easier, my advice is keep it in your backpack and use it in class and only refer to it after school so you know what to take home and just to make sure you've done everything) . I'm just saying this because I'm surprised that that piece of shit is actually helping me for once and not making me lose points on binder checks..

And we haven't had any projects.

Everything is review at the moment.
I'll enjoy it while I can.


Joined cross country. It's fun. I like running. But I felt like crap in the last lap-thing. I'd better get used to it.

Thank god everyone is nice..

And that Lauren is also taking it. I'd be in hell without any of that.

HOLY SHIT



Sorry for being a TOTAL nerd. But Hot Hot Heat is coming to Chicago! That's AWESOME.


I totally want to go. And tix are cheap.


Lol,


She wants revenge is coming, too. How cool would it be to see The Killers, MSI, SWR, and HHH in one year?

God. I'm crazy for them.

Anyone want to go? I have no clue how it'll work. Might not work at all. Thursday, October 4th, 6:30pm...

LOL, then SWR plays two weeks later, on the 15th of October, at 6:30..

Oh god no, this is TOO CRAZY. My parents will NEVER let me go.
:C :)

Hopefully the new person with us this year (alt. to Maria) will be willing to take us..
Or maybe instead of me taking you, someone could lend a ride?

Agh. Both are in Chicago. That's crazy.



<3

This caught me by surprise..


To my disappointment, the new Lovemakers EP sucked. Two songs were okay. But it was trash.

Anyhow,

The concert! The concert... If you want to go, you still can but you must buy your own General Admission ticket at Ticketmaster .com


Well, my parents can take us. My dad is thinking of finding other dads to go that he can hang out with. Ask your dad. They won't be with us.

But it still sucks.


I originally wanted to wake up at 6, leave at 7, get there at 9:30-10:30, stay, see MSI, then leave..
Now we're probably leaving at 10

But the concert ends at like 5 or 6.

MSI plays at 3. I want to get there early, see the bands before them, get my shirt signed by LJU, and get out.

But my parents will definitely not want to take us at that time and they don't want to stay that long.
So if we leave after 3 hours, we won't even have seen MSI at all.


I don't blame them for not wanting to stay, but it would have been so fricking awesome if Maria could take us!
Jeez. I'd tell them that MSI plays at 3, but then they'd take us at like 1.

Lots of people are getting their permits this year, not me... And there are other things, too.


Well, though it was my birthday, I didn't spend much time with my parents in the morning or afternoon. But we're going out to dinner and stuff.

It's great how when we get home, and mom is talking to us for the first time that day, the first thing out of her mouth is 'happy birthday'.. which is quickly followed with, 'your rooms are a pit, clean your rooms'. Well of course my room is a pit! The past couple days, the only time I've been in my room is to change or flop on the bed.

Anyway, my mom is crazy about school and stuff. She doesn't want our desks to have anything fun on them. Fuck that.

First of all, I'll still do my homework regardless of any small toy cars or bikes or small people-figurines.

Also, it's summer. The last few days before school.

Also, it's our birthday, so mom really shouldn't be yelling at lindsey about her being ungrateful (she wasn't being so) about paying for school supplies and extra calculators ( we don't NEED more calculators).

Guess what, Mom.

Though school supplies are way too fucking expensive, everyone else going to NT is buying them, too.
You don't use school supplies to threaten kids. That's retarded and beyond any sort of logic.

I'm sick and tired of people yelling at Lindsey!
They have no reason to, and whenever she tries to justify something she's done or state her reason, she's interrupted by someone who is yelling irrationally at her and blaming her for whatever the hell is going on. And they don't LISTEN.

For fucks sake, LISTEN to her for a second and get a fucking pair of ass-tweezers, you PRICKS.




I dunno, Maria is either really cool, or really annoying...

When she gets mad she doesn't make sense.

But she's still nice and fun and stuff..



School starts Wednesday. I hate the idea of the same class for 4 years. With no guys.

Boring.
Oh well.

MSI's playing on tv tomorrow (Monday..well, technically Tuesday morning)
Just one song, of course..
At 1:35/12:36c on NBC

Well, if you've been reading my journals and are like, 'wtf... is msi. I really couldn't care less'...

then if you just so happened to be up at the time, and you decide to watch it...

Well, you'll either see why I think it's awesome,

Steve, Righ? and LJU from MSI made a CD with 39 "songs" on it, plus one Alienating Our Audience music video.

The only proper response to ANYTHING on the entire CD is


What the fuckity flipping FUCK??

It's hilarious. But I'm ashamed of myself for listening to it cuz it's so stupid.

for Lindsey's sake. I hate it when mom rips on Lindsey. Even for important matters, _{like grades}.

I dunno, if something happens one quarter, it's really hard to make up for.
If anything, she's put in too much effort, though into last-minute projects. Which is a weird thing she does.

I dunno. I'm lucky, I guess. I procrastinate.. but I'm good at it..

Also, I was very, VERY lucky to have Kate over for a "sleepover" the day before sludge was due.
THANKS Kate. Or I'd be grilled right now.

I hate it when Lindsey gets worse grades than me. Mom acts sort of annoying- difficult, and doesn't speak clearly and really just doesn't get it. By the way- she's a REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY bad listener! Which would explain Lindsey's frustration at this very moment.

It's like telling a janitor to 'clean better'.. True story, actually. Janitor was talking, and I was nosy, so I listened. He was pissed cuz the principal told him to 'clean better' and he had already done his job..

I don't know if you really get the analogy. Well, you do. But I hope you get how it's similar and aren't weirded out by how it's different.


IN OTHER NEWS (I believe I stole that line from somebody.. well, it sure is dandy)

Was reunited with Switchfoot. Only to realize that I only like a few songs from the first album (of three) that I bought of theirs. Which still sucks, but it's better than hating all of it.

Um... Computer camp was cool. Got to use flash. Met some people.

For some reason, nothing seemed to work out this session (this year). Last years I've had a great time.

This time, corporate were REAL A-Holes

•3-hour rec (an hour and a half is plenty and I love rec, one of the highlights of the day.. but 3 hours is 1:30 too long)
•Shit weekend fieldtrip (Navy Pier. We stayed there for about an hour and a half which is enough time to do nothing.)
•No structure on weekends (it's just sit sit sit. Nothing to do.)

It was lame in general. But I got a kick out of a couple of the counselors.

aaaaand.. that's about it.

]]> ~FOOLY-COOLY http://FOOLY-COOLY.deviantart.com/journal/13558365/ http://FOOLY-COOLY.deviantart.com/journal/13558365/ Sun, 01 Jul 2007 00:00:00 PDT

Computer camp's tomorrow.

I guess I'll bring my cell phone. No one calls, though, so there's no real point.

I'll be home on the weekend- Friday evening through sunday morning.



Currently I'm in the process of making an animation for the song 'Shake That Ass' by The Lovemakers. I've only finished the first 9 seconds.. which took me 3 days. I think I'll just loop it or something so I don't have to do the entire song. I've only gotten through "shake. ass. shake that ass." so far...............hell xD

Lindsey is a prick, so she hates that song. God, she pisses me off.

"Ew.. that shake that ass for me song."
"Shut it- it's catchy and I like it."
"It's catchy.. but it's not good.."

Oh, shut up. Just because you don't like something doesn't automatically give you permission to think it's "catchy, but it isn't well-made" or shit like that. That's just an excuse for not knowing shit about anything.

Hate the song if you want! But just say it- and try and keep an open mind while you do. Music doesn't end at Telepopmusik, Wisely, Oh no! Oh my!, and of course- MUSE. Don't get me wrong, Telepopmusik is cool and Muse is undeniably brilliant- but just take your bad attitude, shove it up your ass, and go on a walk- WHATEVER the hell that means..

Sorry, I'm pissy about a lot of things at the moment. Probably because I'm tired.

Well, I did get a My Shuffle in on Q101. That was cool, because they played a bunch of songs that I really wanted to hear- for once- on the radio. (Short Skirt Long Jacket, Talk To Me Dance With Me, Boyz-N-The-Hood, Date Rape, These Things).. Well, Date Rape does play every once in a while (because it's terrific) but I just chose it because I didn't know what else to choose. But I still sounded like a total %$# on the phone XD

Whatever. It was fun.

Alright, now I'm not feeling quite so pissy.


Have fun doing whatever you're doing this summer.

I wish Emma was still on DeviantART.

I got 2 pairs of shorts (don't even shart with it). And some art supplies, so hurrah. I was looking all over for souvenirs.. but the places that did have souvenirs were really touristy and it was.. just not good. I have post cards, though. Couldn't send 'em because Italian post takes about two weeks.. ha.

Plane was a minimum of 11 hours. My head is numb.

Oliver is really cute because he missed us <3
..Oh, scratch that.. Oliver pissed on Dad's desk. Wow. He's SCREWED.


I have violin camp next week (queue laughs now, please). I have to learn all of the songs tomorrow and early morning monday :U......

Then computer camp.


and then nothing for a while. Then fencing starts..


"Before you fag out and watch tv and stuff, put your clothes and stuff away.."

Wow.. Nice use of the word 'fag', Dad.. Nice.


Funny thing- on the airplane, this comedian that performed at New Trier and will be appearing on tv or something was there.. His stand-up routine is partially about how people on the airlines think he's a terrorist because he looks middle-eastern (he's Indian.. so thats not even the right continent).. and my dad, being a tad racist (well, just as racist as everyone else.. but he at least acknowledges it) thought he actually did look like one.

Now Im in Tuscany.. Motepulciano. Went to some cool places, etc.. Its even nicer here than Palestrina..

Roman or any art that ive seen here makes dA look ridiculous sometimes.. all this fuss over a certain "morbid" cartoon... blechk

Eve if proportions may be weird or incorrect, it was appropriate for those times. Art was a lot different ( not necessarily better.) and they didnt have some of the modern options.. But whatever.


I like the local cheese.

It's cool in Italy... I've never been to a European country, and it's very different.

Lately, it's been hot. Very hot.

We saw the collosseum, Ostia, and the Vatican.

Wow.. sistene chapel.. best art I've ever seen. At first I was like 'meh.. Michaelangelo... boring'... His stuff is freaking amazing. And St. Peters' church is the most gorgeous ting I've seen.


The only thing I don't like are the people dressed as old women that beg horribly.. it sort of makes me sick... it's not real, but it's so creepily done.. it gives you the chills..

Also, there are no frigging TOILET SEATS.. that would have been nice to know beforehand! It's...difficult..??

Miss you guys.. sort of. I mean, yeah, I do. But I'm in Italy, so I'm not complaining. I don't really miss people.

I'll REALLY miss Maria, though!!! What, she's been with us since I was in like..maybe first grade? Definitely second grade! But she's married, which is absolutely fantastic because she's been with real bad relationships since moving to America (some failed, and a couple where the guy just disappeared). And Rick is really nice, but I'll miss her.. and I really, REALLY, don't want a new person to be with us.... unless they like MSI.. because going to concerts with Maria is EASY. She likes a lot of the same music as I do... minus MSI.. But she likes concerts so it's fine.. Okay, those last few sentences didn't make much sense. Figure it out.



Food's pretty good.
Subway+Train is hell... especially after walking all day.


..uh.. I've only really learned how to say 'hello', 'thank you', and 'mushroom' in Italian...

I HATE souvenirs, by the way. My parents are like, 'dont you want a souvenir? You're the only one who hasn't gotten one'...

Thanks.. but I don't want a bag that says Roma on it or a book with pictures of the colloseum or a visor.. I just don't like it.

It would be great to go shopping, though. Probably won't happen, though.

Not really checking messages, sorry.
Well, I might.
Whatever.

Bye.
