                <description><![CDATA[ ...flickers upon the walls, making shadows dance and twist to a beat that mimics the flowing of the wind.<br /><br />--<br /><br />So yesterday, I went on a music rampage. <br /><br />(In a Rolling Stones T-shirt.)<br /><br />Bought two posters, a postcard, two CDs and a vinyl. Ill Lit and Lotus Isle were the CDs, I Need You and bandmates EP, respectively, and the record was a limited edition orange Modest Mouse 45-er. The Satellite Skin EP.  Yeah, I think I'm special for that last find. Number 354 out of 4000. Eight dollars and fifty-four cents.<br /><br />The posters were Nirvana and Jim Henson's Labyrinth. You know, the one with David Bowie in it. Yes...<br /><br />The postcard is an adapted concert poster. A concert for the Jimi Hendrix Experience, actually. The one on 15.1.69. <br /><br />And oh wow this sucks butt the Ill Lit CD is skipping like a high horse because my disk drive is whack.<br /><br />Man. Far out. I love it when new CDs end up being crap.<br /><br />...Anyway. Now all I need to do is get my record player fixed...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.milkandcookies.com/link/158288/detail/">[link]</a><br /><br />LOOK AND BE AMAZED<br /><br />My favourite response is:<br /><br />Fuck, Joe! You filthy jackass! By giving "it" to your family and kissing your mother-in-law on the lips, you've doomed us all! JOE! FUCK!<br /><br />Yumyumyum Swine Flu!<br /><br />--<br /><br />Let's learn to ballroom dance in the middle of Pioneer Square in Rolling Stones T-shirts and bell-bottom pants!<br /><br />--<br /><br />"I'd call him a sadistic, hippophilic necrophile, but that would be beating a dead horse." - Woody Allen<br /><br />or...<br /><br />"Not a shred of evidence exists in favor of the idea that life is serious." - Brendan Gill<br /><br />and finally...<br /><br />Danny: Hey, you and Karen have a nice weekend of domestic cozitude again?<br /><br />Paul: Yeah, we had a nice dinner, went to a movie - space western.<br /><br />Danny: (smirks) Sounds great.<br /><br />--<br /><br />And so says the Revolution, "Go, go unto me, my children of the future and the past and all other such tenses, create the chaos you were made to reek, push down fences, shove down walls, spike the President's tea with LACE, but for the love of The Flowers and The Trip and Abbie Hoffman, do not let the Man bring You down, for You are but the Man, and he is but You!!"<br /><br />And the masses shouted, "We shall! We shall! We shall throw dollar bills upon the New York Stock Exchange and watch them scramble, We shall put daisies in the barrels of guns shoved in our faces, We shall grow our hair and dirty our faces and We shall Make Love and Make Peace and Make VW Buses, and We shall not give up!!"<br /><br />In twenty years, the Revolution is but forgotten, except in the hearts of those few who had the misfortune of being born into the era of Straights and Yuppies and that Horrible Thing Called Society, who pick up the Revolution's Books, the Scripture, REVOLUTION FOR THE HELL OF IT!! and They shall be inspired!<br /><br />So comes the time of change, blown upon the caterpillar's smoke, told to us by the dormouse (FEED YOUR HEAD; DO NOT HEED THE PROPAGANDA ((but what is the propaganda?))). Janis Joplin, save us all. Jimi Hendrix, deliver us from evil, Orange Bicycle and Elmer Gantry's Velvet Opera, give us our Daily Fix, for thou aren't quite gone, thou is just Blowin' In the Wind, and thou shall be revived in Short Time, and shall not Smite the Non-Believers, for They are Precious Too, and so shall Lucy say:<br /><br />"PROPERTY IS THEFT<br />PROPERTY IS ROBBERY<br />(Choose one of the three -- choose the one that rhymes)<br />and; hey, I dig your shirt. It's pretty groovy."<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ It's been nice and sunny the last couple days, here. Amazing, really, because we usually don't get this many days of sunshine in a row.<br /><br />I think I quite like it.<br /><br />--<br /><br />Dezequs is a rather good artist...<br /><br />--<br /><br /><b>(20th May 2009)</b><br />IF A MOVIE WAS MADE OF YOUR LIFE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE?<br />So, here's how it works:<br />Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, etc).<br />Put it on shuffle.<br />Press play.<br />For every question type the song that's playing.<br />When you go to a new question press the next button.<br />Ready? GO!<br /><br />Opening Credits:<br />Old Time Rock & Roll, by Bob Seger. YUMYUMYUM sounds like the soundtrack to Dazed and Confused already!<br /><br />Waking Up:<br />Fuck You, by Lily Allen. LOL wow this really sounds like me. I'm kind've... non-agreeable in the morning.<br /><br />Falling in Love:<br />They Are Night Zombies!! They Are Neighbors!! They Have Come Back From the Dead!! Ahhhh!, by Sufjan Stevens. I am loving this meme. Shaun of the Dead, anyone?<br /><br />Fight Scene:<br />Hotel Roosevelt, by Augustana. This'd only be applicable if it were a fight with my best friend after saying something completely idiotic. And true. Probably about travel. We'd both be drunk, and it wouldn't be a very action-y scene until the crescendo of the music. Right at the, 'shut up, I know we can't talk about it,' they'd punch me in the face. Then I'd kick 'em in the gut, and after that a third party would come, break us up, and Best Friend would leave, leaving me to go back in the bar. Alcohol!!<br /><br />Breaking Up:<br />Smile, by Lily Allen. Hmm. Now I feel like the crazy ex-girlfriend.<br /><br />Make-up:<br />World At Large, by Modest Mouse. I must be extremely nonchalant about this, then. The one that wants to let go, but doesn't have anything better to do, so they go along with it.<br /><br />Secret Love:<br />Bixby Cannon Bridge, by Death Cab for Cutie. Huh.<br /><br />Life's Okay:<br />In My Place, by Coldplay. Not really a, 'content with the world and all who live there,' song, but whatever. I'd be pissed if I were stuck like the person in the song.<br /><br />Mental Breakdown:<br />It's a Beautiful Day, by U2. Oh, LOL. The irony is choking me.<br /><br />Driving:<br />Ode to a Tea Set, by the Shivas. They're a new, local indy-groove band that hasn't broken onto the scene yet. But if I'm driving in a scene with this song playing, I am tripping out of my <i>mind</i>.<br /><br />Happy Dance:<br />The Boys Are Too Refined, by The Hush Sound. LOL.<br /><br />Flashbacks:<br />Bye, Bye Baby, by Janis Joplin. Someone must be leaving in these flashbacks...<br /><br />Regretting:<br />Once, by Pearl Jam. I love my iTunes...<br /><br />Long Night Alone:<br />Billy Liar, by the Decemberists. Oh my flipping god. Anyone who's listened to this song will know why I'm whacked out.<br /><br />Final Battle:<br />The Hazards of Love III (Revenge!), by the Decemberists. The CD in question is a story record, and this song actually is part of the climax of the story, LOL.<br /><br />Death Scene:<br />Not Fade Away/Goin' Down the Road Feelin' Bad, by the Grateful Dead. Oh, I love the Dead.<br /><br />Ending Credits:<br />Try (Just a Little Bit Harder), by Janis Joplin. LOL.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I have the most amazing cold I've ever had in my entire life.<br /><br />And that's saying something.<br /><br />My voice is deep because I'm insanely stuffed up. In the high baritone range now, sweets. It's hilarious. My voice is more of a drawl than anything, because that's the only way I can get it to sound.<br /><br />Then again, I drawl and mumble and murmur on regular days. ...That made me think of Norton Juster's Whether Man.<br /><br />I like the way my laugh sounds, though. It's deeper. I think I have more fun when I'm sick. I laugh more.<br /><br />It's probably the medication.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So Hanne Hukkelberg and The Decemberists are the daffodils to my buttercups.<br /><br />Yesforseriously.<br /><br />Hanne is like that syrup that accompanied those pancakes that you got when you stumbled upon that little roadside cafe that you can't remember where exactly it is or what it's exact name was that you know you found on that one roadtrip you went on a couple years ago with your best friend in that old car that you loved, why'd you sell that car again? and the sunlight that poured through the window that one half-summer day that you were reading that dusty old book that you could barely understand and weren't really paying attention to because you were too busy looking out the window and sneezing from the must that was pushed into the air when you opened the volume, and the flowers you picked from the house down the street when you knew they were gone that were the very colour of the sun and the moon all at once, and sweet golden tea that leaves a bitter, bitter aftertaste, and that little creek you found in the woods that one time, with the large rocks and the rainbow coloured fish, and you accidently spooked that doe and it just looked at you, with wide wide eyes, and then bolted, and her hair, that tint of colour that is red, red red like rust or brick, and the snow that came in March, blue and white and silver and making the world perfect but not that you spun in until you fell down laughing, and like the multi-coloured bubbles you made when you were a kid with that bright bubble blower and the murals you made with coloured sidewalk chalk and the paint you got on your nice white Sunday dress.<br /><br />And The Decemberists are like that old orchestra you listened to when you went with your parents to theatre, and all the players looked ancient and dusty and angular and mechanical and monochromic, and it was so strange that you watched them instead of the colourful, bright, beautiful and whimsical ballet that was going on right above, because you knew you would see that next year, but this orchestra was something you just had to watch, at least this time, and like the antique shop, with gilded sunlight hitting old dresses and fur coats and pocket watches that reflect your image, but double, and the old fashioned sailboat that you saw one time sailing around the river banks, the one the bridge opened to let through and you watched it go through the car window until all you could see where the very tops of the sails over the start of tall buildings and concrete pathways, and that beautiful boy with the frock coat and the wool hat that was smoking a cigarette on the corner, and the smoke flowed and twisted and turned lazily up, up, up... and that funeral for the uncle you didn't really know, the one that everyone said was crazy, that collected all those strange things in attic, and the smoke that flows from the top of the chimney over the rooftops of the slate coloured city on those rainy days that the entire sky is completely grey, grey grey grey for miles and miles, and you can't think of anywhere where the sky isn't that colour.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So I've been rereading the Harry Potter series.<br /><br />LOL.<br /><br />The most positive thing I can say is the Severus Snape rocks my proverbial socks. I've always had a thing for sarcastic, dark characters that have a grudge against the hero/heroine, and man, he is the freaking epitome of such characters.<br /><br />(Eli, if you make a comment on this that includes anything even vaguely mocking about the word 'epitome', I will have Andrew cut your hair while you're asleep.)<br /><br />Hermione is also continually amazing, the insufferable know-it-all. But I think that her character is tarnished a bit by the fact that she ultimately ends up with a boy who she's completely incompatible with. Ron's a nice guy, really, but he was the emotional range of a teaspoon, and well, he and Lavender where perfect for each other. Equally shallow, insensitive, and their cumulative  I. Q. of about 6. A tactical genius he may be, but he's not the sharpest tool in the box.<br /><br />I just wish that the author had been someone that would've taken more time for details.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Why, in every book I've read in the past few years that features a female lead character, the author has made her look like a complete cunt?<br /><br />Just a rather blunt and crude observation. Excuse my language, if you will, but I couldn't find any other word to describe the... I don't even know what to call it! The supposed 'lead-woman' is a complete pansy, even if she's supposed to be, 'strong, and terribly independent, and blahblahblah'... She's either done a lot of stuff before the book (or in some cases of the J.K. Rowling Epilogue Syndrome, <i>after</i>, though this seems to be restricted to lackluster relationships between completely incompatible people), or <i>could</i>, potentially, do a bunch of stuff, but she doesn't!<br /><br />She's demur and annoying and the male wears the pants, even if the girl pretends to. Each book published with a female character like that puts the woman's rights movement back twenty years, I swear. So we should be, er, whereabouts the medieval, yeah? That sounds about right, yup.<br /><br />I don't know, but in my world? The woman wears the pants. Or skirt. Whichever she prefers. I don't discriminate clothing choices. She can clean, she can cook, she can raise the kids, she can do whatever the fucking hell she wants, man, she could turn into a bat and go around flying for all I care, but if the woman is the one that holds the relationship together? She wears the collective trousers, dudes, and you're gonna have to get used to it. Sorry.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So I took <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.gotoquiz.com/what_kind_of_serial_killer_would_you_be#"><b>this</b></a> test. <br /><br />I ended up being a organized visionary serial killer, with organized and goal-oriented a close second.  <br /><br />(Apparently, this is a good thing, because visionaries don't end up in prison; they end up it padded cells. Made me feel a lot better about the results. Kind of like hearing that I need an amputation as a result of shooting myself in the foot.)<br /><br />It was actually rather interesting, and the questions were quite thorough. It wasn't just one of those crappy Quilliza quizzes or anything like that; it was professional and clinical, except for an end-note on the bottom of the results page asking people not to take it too seriously, and that the author was not responsible for an new serial killers following a pattern specified in the quiz.<br /><br />Plus it was fucking hilarious, LOL.<br /><br />But I kind've feel a bit crazy, now.<br /><br />--<br /><br />And motherfucker but I found this list of books and now I'm going to have read <i>every single fucking one.</i><br /><br />1. Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen <br /><br />2. The Lord of the Rings <br /><br />3. Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte <br /><br /><strike>4. Harry Potter series - JK Rowling</strike> <b>(I can honestly say that the only books I enjoyed in this series were Year One and Year Three. Year Three because of Remus and Sirius having scenes together (they're hilarious), and Year One because Harry didn't have anything to angst over yet; he was too busy being amazed at the fact that unicorns were real.)</b> <br /><br />5. To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee <br /><br />6. The Bible<br /><br />7. Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte <br /><br />8. Nineteen Eighty Four - George Orwell<br /><br />9. His Dark Materials - Philip Pullman<br /><br />10. Great Expectations - Charles Dickens <br /><br />11. Little Women - Louisa M Alcott <br /><br />12. Tess of the DÂUrbervilles - Thomas Hardy <br /><br />13. Catch 22 - Joseph Heller<br /><br />14. Complete Works of Shakespeare <br /><br />15. Rebecca - Daphne Du Maurier <br /><br /><strike>16. The Hobbit - JRR Tolkien</strike> <b>(The edition that I had the privilege of reading from was absolutely beautiful. Glossed pages, full colour illustrations, everything. It was amazing.)</b><br /><br />17. Birdsong - Sebastian Faulks<br /><br />18. Catcher in the Rye - JD Salinger <br /><br />19. The Time TravellerÂs Wife - Audrey Niffenegger <br /><br />20. Middlemarch - George Eliot <br /><br />21. Gone With The Wind - Margaret Mitchell <b>(I tried, okay? In fucking 5th grade. 5th grade, people. I seriously got half-way through before I said, I'm going to kill myself if I have to read anymore of this.)</b> <br /><br />22. The Great Gatsby - F Scott Fitzgerald <br /><br />23. Bleak House - Charles Dickens <br /><br />24. War and Peace - Leo Tolstoy <br /><br /><strike>25. The Hitch HikerÂs Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams</strike> <b>(I. love. this. book. It's probably my favourite, right after <i>The Phantom Tollbooth.</i>)</b><br /><br />26. Brideshead Revisited - Evelyn Waugh<br /><br />27. Crime and Punishment - Fyodor Dostoyevsky <br /><br />28. Grapes of Wrath - John Steinbeck <b>(I'm currently drudging through this book. It's good, but sometimes Mr. Steinbeck's repetitive word-usage gets freakin' annoying.)</b> <br /><br />29. Alice in Wonderland - Lewis Carroll <b>(I have an original copy of this book! It's absolutely beautiful. I'm almost afraid to read it, it's so old. Plus, the Cheshire Cat scares the shit out of me.)</b><br /><br />30. The Wind in the Willows - Kenneth Grahame<br /><br />31. Anna Karenina - Leo Tolstoy <br /><br />32. David Copperfield - Charles Dickens <br /><br />33. Chronicles of Narnia - CS Lewis <b>(I can't say I've read them all, but I have read up unto the Silver Chair, I think. Which is most of them.)</b> <br /><br />34. Emma - Jane Austen <br /><br />35. Persuasion - Jane Austen <br /><br /><strike>36. The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe - CS Lewis</strike> <b>(These books are good, but really, really, really boring. Mr. Lewis had no sense of humour, in the slightest, and it shows. Oh, does it show.)</b> <br /><br />37. The Kite Runner - Khaled Hosseini<br /><br />38. Captain CorelliÂs Mandolin - Louis De Bernieres<br /><br />39. Memoirs of a Geisha - Arthur Golden <br /><br /><strike>40. Winnie the Pooh - AA Milne</strike> <b>(But I'm going to have to read it again. Winnie the Pooh is probably my favourite animal character of them all.)</b><br /><br />41. Animal Farm - George Orwell <br /><br />42. The Da Vinci Code - Dan Brown <br /><br />43. One Hundred Years of Solitude - Gabriel Garcia Marquez <br /><br />44. A Prayer for Owen Meaney - John Irving<br /><br />45. The Woman in White - Wilkie Collins <br /><br /><strike>46.

                <description><![CDATA[ I've been looking at some really amazing Harry Potter art. It's really, really very good, but it got me thinking about the Canon!HP universe.<br /><br />...Which is never a good thing.<br /><br />Those books... I don't know. I liked the first book, and I liked the third book because it had SIRIUS BLACK in it with a vague amount of regularity. And Lupin. I quite liked Lupin. Made me smile like an idiot, both of them did. The twins were always highlights, too, though they really didn't make many appearances until the fifth book.<br /><br />But I didn't really ever like any of the other books. And then the Deathly Hallows epilogue... God, I don't think that I've heard a positive comment on that since people first read it. And for good reason. It was the biggest fucking Deus Ex Machina I have ever seen, barring the Avatar series, of course.<br /><br />And Harry annoyed me constantly from books three through seven. In the first two he wasn't so bad because he didn't <i>know</i> anything about anything and so couldn't angst over it. But then! Oh, god! Someone is supposedly out to kill him (always rather anti-climatically, if I do so say, and I do say so) and he doesn't seem to get that he's not the only one on Earth, <i>ever</i>, to have someone out to get him.<br /><br />The Order killed me dead, though. The entire book is just the horror that is teenage angst and lashing out at those trying to help you, and while I can't say that I've never done that, I can say that I have not carried it on for as long as Lightning Bolt managed to. <br /><br />Personally, I liked Malfoy better than Potter, even if Draco was an antagonostic git. But he was blond, and that automatically makes him better. Lucius always made me a bit sad because of what he could have been but didn't become.<br /><br />Ron was a cutie, but just so. damn. clueless. Really. But I liked him because he was a strategist, and I like strategists. Hermione was okay. Kind've a goody-two-shoes, though. I couldn't stand her when she did shit like telling McGonogall about the Firebolt for the <i>greater good</i> or however she justified it. I hate people that thinks it's their duty to get into everyone elses business and decide what's best for them, then proceed to attempt to make what they think should happen happen.<br /><br />MIND YOUR OWN FUCKING BUSINESS.<br /><br />One thing I never got, though: if they wanted to (needed to, whatever) kill Moldymort so badly, why even bother with a wand? Guns are <i>very</i> wonderful things when you want to eliminate someone. BANGDEAD! That's all it takes.<br /><br />For the sake of melodrama, I suppose.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I find it funny beyond belief that I have not updated this poor, poor journal for so long.<br /><br />For around ten months, in fact.<br /><br />Anyway. As I am a completely anti-social bitch, I don't really reply to any comments on my dev page from the people who's artwork I have favourited. Or from anyone else, for that matter. ELI. YEAH, I'M TALKING TO YOU.<br /><br />I'd like to say thank you for taking the time to both look at my page and acknowledge the fact that I favourited your art, and thank you for <i>making</i> the artwork in the first place.<br /><br />BECAUSE IT'S FUCKING AWESOME.<br /><br />And the people that commented on my journal, thank you for reading my ranting. And LOL taxidermy.<br /><br />--<br /><br />After ten months, my taste in music has not much changed.<br /><br />My taste in art has not, either.<br /><br />(The quality of it, though, is so, so much better. I shudder to look at things churned out all that time ago. HAVE WE EVER HEARD OF ANATOMY?)<br /><br />My taste of clothes has changed, though. Promptly after the realization that my wardrobe looked as if I went to a funeral every day of the week.<br /><br />But anyway.<br /><br />IT IS SNOWINGSNOWINGSNOWING WHERE I AM.<br /><br />It kinda sucks, actually. I wanted to go to Korsakoffee, but the roads are too iced up to really go anywhere.<br /><br />Well, that's what the news says. Along with the fact that the roads that would take me to the Coffee House are closed.<br /><br />Ah. Just my luck, I guess.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Lately, I've answering my phone, "Hello, City Morgue. How may we help you?"<br /><br />It seems to confuse people. I'm sure the telemarketers absolutely love it. I promptly hang up after I say that, but they've never called again.<br /><br />Hmm...<br /><br />Ah, god, my hands hurt. The bass is annoying. Yes, it is. (But I still love it.) I played it for too long today, and this is the result.<br /><br />But the tea helps, even if it's too thin. Yes, yes, it does.<br /><br />On a different note, the new Panic! At the Disco (and no, I don't care if they, 'changed their name to &#039<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";P" title="Wink/Razz" />anic At the Disco', dumbass!', because <i>I. don't. care.</i> I like it better with the exclamation point) CD is amazing. Really. You should go and listen to it.<br /><br />...Right now.<br /><br />......Why the hell are you still reading? Go! Listen to the fucking music, dumbass!<br /><br />(Except not. Edit 5-22-08)<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ LSD-- Lead Singer's Disease<br /><br />Well-known afflicties-- Chris Martin (of Coldplay), Tyson Ritter (of the All-American Rejects), and (alledgedly) Adam Levine (of Maroon 5)<br /><br />Lead Singer's Disease is actually more of a syndrome, and is related directly to the male ego (though there are exceptions, and they are becoming more and more common). When affilicted, one develops a swelled head, along with a heightened amount of arrogance and general nastiness. Many times, the leader of the band begins to think he (or she) is the most important member of the group, whether or not it is true.<br /><br />Although one might first think LSD to refer to the drug (lysergic acid diethylamide), it is not related to this particular LSD in anyway, other than the fact that the lead singer themselves may or may not have previously taken or be taking acid.<br /><br />(This is not true. At all. It is not to be taken offense to (or seriously), and the 'well-known afflicties' thing is a joke. <i>I am kidding.</i> Sources from wikipedia.org.)<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So, I know that the 'Disney Girls/Sailor Moon' thing is really, <i>really</i> dorky, but I think it's quite awesome. ... In an extremely geekish way.<br /><br />I saw Juno recently, which is kind've sad, since it's been out <i>forever</i>. It was totally boss, though.<br /><br />Earlier, before I saw that, though, I watched The Other Boleyn Girl. It. was. terrible.<br /><br />Really. The actors were bad, the camera shots were horribly done, the time transitions were, at best, confusing, the storyline wasn't explained enough (like, how Mary Boleyn's first husband died of the fever, but that wasn't even <i>mentioned</i>, at all; he just suddenly wasn't there anymore, as if he merely stopped existing), the crying, and the labor both sisters went through was unconvicing, some important lines were read passively, they didn't have much emotion in them at all, and there were too many sex scenes to really enjoy the movie, even if it <i>had</i> been good.<br /><br />I wasted eight bucks and three hours of my life for that. Honestly, I considered going to sleep a few times, but the moaning and groaning from the couples doing it kept me from that, but succeded in making me want to puke. I don't get, and never will, why people think that movies now need a bunch of sex to make them enjoyable to the audience. It really just takes away the appeal of an otherwise great movie (if, in fact, the movie <i>is</i> even any good). <br /><br />Take Hot Fuzz, for example. Brillant movie, and <i>no sex, at all</i>. Merely friendship and blood. Admittedly, a lot of blood, but it can be overlooked, unlike <i>other things</i>.<br /><br />All in all, if you haven't seen Juno, or Hot Fuzz, for that matter, I sincerely reccomend them. The Other Boleyn Girl, though, is not at all a must see, and one should not waste time watching it.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Apparently, K still has an obession with pirates.<br />
<br />
Mohawka said I'm naive. I said, no, I'm talking about that new Veggie Tales movie, 'The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything'. K is obviously obessed with it.<br />
<br />
Oh my god, K interjected, I actually did see that movie! It was awesome! And it was one big Christian metaphor!<br />
<br />
Really, K, said Mohawka.<br />
<br />
Yes! Really! You were there too, so you would know! But, anyway, we went with JoR and PiL and Mohawka and and and.... Whoever, but anyway, like halfway through the movie, I realized the metaphor, and I leaned over to JoR and was all like, 'Dude, I just figured it out! It's all like <i>a really big metaphor!</i>'<br />
<br />
Really, K, I said.<br />
<br />
Yes! And the songs were <i>awesome!</i> I have them on my MP3 player! Look, look!<br />
<br />
...Oh my god, I want those songs. Mohawka looks at me strangely, but shrugs and says,<br />
<br />
They're decent, if not holding extremely heavy Christian overtones.<br />
<br />
I gasp. That's what I said! I then turn to K. But I still want those songs. Really. I do.<br />
<br />
I know you do! Who wouldn't?! K is still much too excited for her own good (for the love of God, K, <i>please</i> don't have a heart attack and die on us; we need you to laugh at; I know, I'll try not to). I mean, really! Do you remember Larry the Cucumber?<br />
<br />
Yes, yes I do. He owned beyond all belief.<br />
<br />
Yes! He did!<br />
<br />
By now, Mohawka is just kind've lost, and looks as though she would be perfectly happy if she were about thirty-nine feet away from us. We, meanwhile, are reinacting the Veggie Tales theme song, terribly off-key, of course.<br />
<br />
Odd looks are given all around.<br />
<br />
It's alright, says Mohawka. K just forgot to take her medicine. As did SaB.<br />
<br />
And all this resulted in K, Mohawka and I deciding to make plans to go to the movies and see Sweeny Todd and The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything.<br />
<br />
Oh, oh! K exclaims. Let's go theater hop! It's so fun!<br />
<br />
No, K, Mohawka and I deadpan.<br />
<br />
K deflates, but suddenly is happy again. Let's get PiL and JoR to come!<br />
<br />
...Alright, K. Mohawka is obviously exasperated, but K does not seem to notice.<br />
<br />
...She never does.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Sai is an absolute bitch to draw.<br />
<br />
Conversely, Kakashi is much too <i>easy</i> to draw. It's probably because his mask and hitai-ate covers more than 80 percent of his face.<br />
<br />
...I need my tablet.<br />
<br />
My brother found AuSH at a store. And then called me. And then gave him the phone, so, 'I could have a wonderful conversation with my bestest best friend.' Yeah. Right.<br />
<br />
I'm awkward with <strike>people</strike> everyone over the phone. Everyone.<br />
<br />
...I don't like cellular phones.<br />
<br />
No, scratch that, I don't like phones in general. They are evil little things bent on world domination, and should be destroyed before they finish with their diabolical plans.<br />
<br />
Er.... Yeah.<br />
<br />
But, bless him (and his children, and his children's children), he kept the conversation short and to the point, and hung up quickly.<br />
<br />
Yeah. AuSH is awkward over the phone, too. I empathize with him. Vaguely. Then again, it might have been because of my brother. He's pretty damn stupid and tactless, and I could hear him harassing AuSH and his brother in the background.<br />
<br />
May the powers above help them. (Er... What <i>powers</i>?)<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm treating this like a LiveJournal account. I know. And I'm proud.<br />
<br />
K gave me my Red Jumpsuit Apparatus CD back. After having it for three to four months. But I got Chiodos in the deal, so it's all good.<br />
<br />
She also has an obession with pirates. That must be why she continues saying, 'Yoho', everytime she greets someone, right?<br />
<br />
Though I'm going for the other meaning.<br />
<br />
Someone called 911 in VT today. K and JeS (Mohawka, from now on) were 10 minutes late for Math today because of it. I'd just gotten in from returning a camera, so I only heard the last part of K's rant about stupid people and cell phones and the police and Mr. G, but I weaseled it out of her later on in class.<br />
<br />
Weasel. Heh.<br />
<br />
And BTW, I'm angsty because I feel like it. Not because I'm emo. I'm- I'm in denial, aren't I?<br />
<br />
K would agree, I think. I am, after all, the one wearing the NB4C bandanna. Gangsty, no?<br />
<br />
I swear to God, I'm going to murder TeR if he mutilates my iPod in any way, shape, or form. I'm serious, this time.<br />
<br />
I need Leigh Nash. And Z. Yes, I need Z.<br />
<br />
But I'm still going to murder TeR.<br />
<br />
There is a desperate need for DeidaraxSakura fanstuff. In general.<br />
<br />
...<br />
<br />
That's not pr0n.<br />
<br />
I think Chiodos is now my offical soundtrack. Forevah. And oh, God, I just sounded like the preppy girls in my J class. <br />
<br />
Noooooooo.<br />
<br />
Speaking of it, I put the RJA CD on in that same J class. It was funny, actually, seeing as none of them knew that Face Down had screamo in it. I hate editing.<br />
<br />
But I love that class, because I can play my DS if I have nothing to do. That wasn't due in November.<br />
<br />
HaN thinks Secondhand Serenade is emo. And that the Perfect Victim (they're on Myspace. Decent enough) is vaguely screamo. Listen to the Number Twelve Looks Like You, HaN, and have your perspective on 'screamo' changed forever. And your eardrums blown out.<br />
<br />
SaR is jealous of my bandanna. The Nightmare Before Christmas one I mentioned earlier. I passed by her in the hall, and the greetings went something like this:<br />
<br />
"Hey, SaR."<br />
<br />
"H- I want your bandanna. I'm jealous of your bandanna."<br />
<br />
"I know you are, SaR."<br />
<br />
Al is also jealous of the bandanna. I told her to go to Florida if she wanted one. She cursed.<br />
<br />
TrE wasn't there today. I was vaguely disappointed. Skipper.<br />
<br />
L was playing Pokemon. She owns that game. Not even fair. Seriously.<br />
<br />
AnG was annoying again. She's like my puppy. Except louder. And more self-rightous.<br />
<br />
AnD is funny. He's the All-Knowing-South-Park-Watcher. He even knows that South Park is in the Guiness World Record book for show with the most curse words, racial slurs, and inapporiate comments/sexual innuendos. Which isn't a compliment. At all. But it's still funny.<br />
<br />
MaT is tiny. As usual. And he continues to call people (except girls, because he's not that stupid) fat as an all-around diss.<br />
<br />
Anorexic wanker.<br />
<br />
Joking, of course. But I swear I have the same pants he wore today in my closet. When I asked where he got them, he said:<br />
<br />
"Macy's. I think."<br />
<br />
I was thinking that Macy's was an evil organization bent on commercializing the world, but I replied all the same.<br />
<br />
"In the girl's or the guy's section?" AnD laughed in the background.<br />
<br />
"Gir- I mean guy's! I meant guy's!"<br />
<br />
"Oh, nice save, MaT! But you said girl's, you said girl's! You got them in the girl's section!" I proceded to dance in a little circle of triumph, singing, 'girl's section, girl's section!', while MaT continued to protest, 'I got them in the guy's, the guy's!', and AnD was just about blue in the face and having a seizure from laughing so hard.<br />
<br />
MaT blamed it on the fact that the words both start with the letter 'g', and therefore confused him. I still danced. AnD still laughed.<br />
<br />
Then AnD's sister ruined it by coming in with her cell phone and Hollister bag. Nice girl. Nicer if she didn't go to Hollister. Since she's.... eleven? Maybe?<br />
<br />
My cousin (nyb, by the way. Look 'er up) said she'd lend me some of her art books.<br />
<br />
Eternal familial love.<br />
<br />
...Bones is over-dramatisized. Terribly.<br />
<br />
I want Devil Wears Prada. Maybe E will lend a CD to me? Maybe...<br />
<br />
I found my GameCube memory card. It has a very liberal amount of dust on it.<br />
<br />
...<br />
<br />
Nasty...<br />
<br />
I love Hidan. Because he's pretty. And absolutely in-fucking-sane. And has sadomasochistic tendencies, which is always a plus. Because it's funny.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
I found a wonderful thing today, though. It's, 'Stop Hating Smartasses', by dinyctis. And it's made of pure awesome. As are you, dinyctis, whomever you are. Check the frickin' pic out, people.<br />

No, seriously. Do it. Now.<br /><br /> ]]></description>
