-FUCK airplanes

-FUCK airports, too

-contact lenses start to feel like plastic shards of death after the first ten hours

-the ad in the banner above this text box thing is in arabic.

-the first thing you feel when you exit the airport is HEAT.

-the second thing you feel is the DUST.

-everything is covered in dust. everything. no exceptions.

-the heat here is not like the heat anywhere else. it presses against you in a really unpleasant way.

-the best feeling after a whole day of airplanes/airports is changing into flannel pajama pants.

-the second best feeling after a whole day of airplanes/airports is taking your contacts off.

-the third best feeling is lying down in a bed. even if the blanket and pillows are covered in dust.

-if you thought watching anime with english dubs was bad, try listening to the arabic voice acting.

-I'M TIRED

-airplane food is not edible.

-when i'm done writing this, i'm gonna get a falafel sandwich. a REAL falafel sandwich, not those lies they sell us in north america.

-after i eat my sandwich, i am going to sleep for forty six hours.

-also, if you're travelling to the middle east your best friend is likely to call you to make sure you got there okay.

-arabs here do know basic english, so for gods sake, if your ringtone is the chorus to yellow bus by brokENCYDE, change it before it rings.

ANYWAYS~ pretty much everyone who watches me knows that i love billy talent A LOT. and that i was obsessed with ben and wanted to marry him (i'm over that now. kinda.) even though i can't pronounce his last name. and that i'm incredibly proud of the fact that they're from my hometown. and that ben used to work for my favorite radio station.

and that i pretty much love everything about that band. (YES I'M ONE OF 'THOSE' CREEPY FANS : D)

so, i was gonna buy billy talent iii right when it came out. but then something came up, and another thing came up, and then more stuff came up, so i bought it today and am currently listening to it and i feel really lame because really, who hasn't heard it yet?

i was going to do a song-by-song review but then i realized that i liked every single song on the record and that my review would go like...

devil on my shoulder: AMAZING.
rusted from the rain: really amazing!
saint veronika: REALLY GOOD : D

so, i decided to do something else! since i'm such a giving person, i'm going to share my favorite lyrics from every song with you! : D (plus i really need to update my journal. the other one is SO STALE AND CRUSTY D

SO HERE WE GO:

devil on my shoulder:
i dug my hole so deep, i'm gonna drown in my mistakes
can't even sell my soul, cause it ain't worth shit to take

rusted from the rain:
dissect me till my blood runs down into the drain
my bitter heart is pumping oil into my veins
i'm nothing but a tin man, don't feel any pain
i don't feel any pain.

saint veronika:
and while the angels sleep, all of the devils are awake
waiting to steal your love, right outside the heaven's gate
and all the sacred hearts, can't numb the feeling from the pain
cause when the drugs don't work, you're gonna curse his holy name

tears into wine:
the gun is loaded when the glass is full
down the hatch, and the trigger's pulled
off the wagon, and back onto the stool
i know that when i stare into your eyes
i can see all the years of lies
ghosts and demons you never exorcised

white sparrows:
my heart just stopped when i was told
doctor, doctor on the phone
said my love was never coming home

pocketful of dreams:
she sold her dreams for security
to a man that now she hardly ever sees
with a cold martini in her hand she don't mind, don't mind

the dead can't testify:
let the rain fall down, let it fall to the ground
let the rain fall down to the ground
and the birds don't sing, no they don't make a sound
when you're six feet underground

diamond on a landmine:
when dancing on thin ice before
frozen from the winter's cold
and if it were to crack below
i'd never let you go

turn your back:
i hope some day when i'm dead and gone
we learn to write everything that's wrong
with loving hands turn sick to strong
our time will tell if life goes on

sudden movements:
i'm the guardian of angles, and they'll get what they deserve
so lock your children in the basement, keep a rifle by the door
don't be afraid of my intentions
cause i'm more afraid of yours

definition of destiny:
we had passion, we had goals
why is life so set in stone? it doesn't have to be


and now two observations about this album!

1) the band seems to be obsessed with devils/angels/heaven/church
seriously, they're mentioned is some way on every song except for three of them.

2) in the lyrics booklet, there's this part: 'when your six feet underground.' and it should be you're, not your. and that REALLY ANNOYS ME.

anyways, that is all. : D

i didn't sleep the night before at all, but i was extremely hyper so i thought it would be okay. it was, but i felt nauseous and had to leave early because i fell asleep sitting on the curb. so i only saw four and a half bands. next year, i'll get some sleep x)

i wanted to be one of the first people in, so we got there at eight. there was a shitload of people in line already x) after three hours in line, and two bands asking us to listen to their music and check out their myspace (we gave them fruit gushers,) we were in.

first thing we did was look around with wide eyes. then i spotted a guy selling a schedule for two bucks. i bought one and went like, 'OMFG three oh three is going second.' they were at the main stage, right after the devil wears prada. i was sorta considering seeing them, so i decided to see them and then see three oh three right after.

oh. my. god. devil's moshpit was amaaaaaazing. i'm hyper just thinking about it. i got my jaw slammed on a guy's shoulder, and then when the pit calmed down i opened my water bottle to take a sip. this girl slammed into my shoulder, the water bottle hit the roof of my mouth and i started bleeding + dropped the water. AND I TOUCHED THE LEAD SINGER. the circle pit was amazing. insanely violent. AND THEN I TOUCHED THE KEYBOARD PLAYER. and then the lead singer was like, 'wow, you canadians are WILD. this is the smallest crowd we've had, but the best pit.' insert moment of canadian pride here, then push a guy out of my way. x)

when all the hardcore-rs left after their set, the place was suddenly FILLED with teenage girls and hipsters. xD then my two future husbands came on and everyone started jumping/dancing/screaming. there wasn't much moshing, but then again you can't really mosh to electro-rock. AND I TOUCHED NATE. it was pretty tame, but i was screaming/singing along and reeeeeeaaaaaalllllllyyyy thirsty. they sang don't trust me last, because its their most popular song, i think, and people started pushing a lot. i should have left, but i didn't want to miss it. it sorta took priority over breathing, haha. after their set, i left the crowd and had to sit down for a couple of minutes. i got water (THREE FIFTY FOR A BOTTLE.) my friends bought pizza and i bought soda because i drank all my water already.

we walked around, got some free stuff. then we walked by this band that looked interesting. they were all wearing awesome hats and one of them had an eyepatch. there were only seven people there. so i joined because i was curious, and more people joined while they were sound checking. they started playing and my mind was blown. THEY WERE MUSICAL GOLD. GAH. seriously, listen to them! [link] they kept cussing at us .__. plus i added eyepatch man to the list of guys i'm going to marry one day.

i caught half of sing it loud's set. they weren't BAD, but i didn't really enjoy it too much. it was a very generic sound. then we were waiting for anti-flag so we moved to the front. the security dude at the front looks around, and goes like, 'goddamn, this place was filled with teenage girls a moment ago.'

there was a crowd of like 200+ before the band even started and we were right at the front pressed against the fence. right behind me was a very angry/tormented guy. "stop the sound check MOTHERFUCKERS! where's the band? WE WANT SOME RAGE. WE ALL WANNA RAGE." he puts his hand on my shoulder. "YOU READY TO RAGE?"
"um."
"YEEAAAA WE'RE READY TO RAGE. LET'S DO THIS MOTHERFUCKERS."

the second the music starts playing, he slams into me. i elbowed him in the stomach, to get my spot back, but a girl pulled me in the other direction. i kicked her. she kicked back and i have a bruise on my leg. i'm trying to remember more, but it's all a sensation of being pulled/pushed/pushing/shoving/kicking/being punched/people crowd surfing over me. then he made us get into a circle pit. a guy ahead fell so i stopped to help him, but the person behind me didn't stop running so i landed into the guy's sweaty, shirtless, back. it made me gag, haha. but then i figured 3/4 of the sweat on me wasn't mine. someone grabbed a handful of my shirt and pulled me up, so i just sorta shrugged, ignored my scraped knees, and kept running/slamming into others. oh, and guess what? I TOUCHED CHRIS.

i sat on the sidewalk for a bit cause i was exhausted, next thing i know, my friend monika's shaking me going like, 'are you seriously sleeping?' x) so i decided it was time to leave. i got home, showered, and slept for twenty-one hours. now i can't move my neck. i suspect its the result of head-banging a lot + too many people crowdsurfing over me.

can't wait for next july! (:

i don't really like capital letters at all.
there are no capital letters in my native language.
that makes me happy.

its 7:18 a.m., and i haven't slept yet.
i'm not tired at all.

everyone's leaving for the summer.
and everyone who isn't leaving is in summer school.

i got a sixty four in religion.
i think i deserved a better mark.
i worked my ass off for exams.

i am definitely going to make honour roll next year.

the spell check tells me that i misspelled the word 'honour.'
i know i didn't.
i like using the british spelling.

'jingle bells' is running through my head.



share a random thought with me? (:

pride parade;
so fucking amazing.

i saw so many things and took so many pictures (i'm gonna upload a couple only though, most of them aren't as good as i'd like them to be.)

i couldn't find my rainbow top, so i wore purple skinnies with a striped black & grey tee with purple...creatures on it. i don't know what they are, but they're fuzzy. :3 i wore pins, though. they were rainbowwww.

the best part was sitting on the train, and seeing people heading to the mall or or work or whatever, and looking for the people going to pride. i saw a guy wearing a rainbow wristband, a girl with a rainbow painted on her hand, a girl wearing a tshirt with rainbows and unicorns on it...it was fun. xD

all the major streets were closed, so we were walking down the middle of the street towards the parade just taking everything in. almost all the stores had pride flags in the displays, and one even had six mannequins up. one was wearing a red outfit, the next one orange, then yellow, etc. h&m had actual models in the window. it was creepy, cause one minute you're looking at three mannequins in the window draped in pride flags, but then one smiles, and one winks at you and its like whoa creepy but cool.

i saw a topless woman, she had a 'shirt' painted on in rainbow colors. i wonder what she did when it started raining. a woman was wearing a pride flag as a skirt. also, in my previous journal i mentioned two women wearing pride flags as tops? i saw them again today! haha.

the actual parade = no words. seriously, i'm not even going to try to describe it. so many balloons, so many people. one van had a bunch of trannies on it, all wearing shimmery outfits and singing along with lady gaga. 'let's have some fun this beat is sick, i wanna take a ride on your disco stick.' it was amazing. some of the floats even had themes, like one were they were all dressed up as ancient egyptians, one were they're wearing thai clothing like this: [link] and one were there were cardboard palm trees, and they were wearing animal patterns. i have never seen so many open-minded rainbow-clad people at one place.

those are just a few of the things we saw. after, we went to eaton centre for food. a lot of people there were wearing rainbows, too. it gave me a strong sense of belonging, it was great.

on the way to the station to take us back to mississauga, we heard two guys behind us. we turn around and they're holding hands and checking out another guy. 'oh, lord, look at those legs!' 'oh my! too bad he's with someone already.'

like, seriously, how awesome is that? i totally want to be able to check out guys with whomever i'm dating. such a great bonding experience.

on the station, when we were switching trains, we saw two old ladies, like maybe seventy years old? they were holding hands and walking, and one of them was holding a pride flag. it was cute.

tl;dr: pride = amazing. going again next year.
have you guys ever been to a pride parade? or a gay village? :]

warped in 12 days!

summer is being extra awesome. i love not having to go to school. i've been out and about all week (which is why i have not been on, haha.) on wednesday, i spent all day roasting marshmallows over a candle i bought at the dollar store.

seriously, not having to worry about school is the best thing ever.

what have you guys been doing recently? are you looking forward to anything? (:

i have my first exam tomorrow morning; it's math and i'm nervous.
after that it's science, gym, and religion.

i can't believe the year is almost over! i'm ready for some changes.

ooh, speaking of changes, i got my ear pierced yesterday. two cartilage piercings on my right ear, and using my google skills, i found a picture that looks somewhat like mine: [link] except mine are further apart.

speaking of more change:
i am moving across the globe this august to finish up high school. this means several things:
-making this summer a memorable one
-buying new stuff and packing it all up
-telling people.
-new room: i'm thinking lime green with black and white accents. y/n?

i have a lot of great ideas for the room, since i already know what it looks like, it's in our villa there. (it's been unoccupied for about four years now, we need to show it some love already.)

oh oh oh, did i mention its gonna be only me and dad? mom and the two stooges are staying here. that's like the best part about it.

oh boy, i'm excited and really nervous and already nostalgic. it's a weird emotion. but like i said, i'm ready for change. so bring it on! (:

check them out, i guess, haha. the guitarist goes to my school, so i'm gonna try to find him and buy the ep off him...and i admit, it takes a couple of listens, but they're good, especially considering their budget and the equipment they're using.

ALSO. OMFG. SCHOOL. TWENTY DAYS. OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

oh oh oh, about the title of this journal! it's a play on this novel called jitterbug perfume by tom robbins. he writes great books. it's like humour, satire, and just out there, you know? for example~ a collection of his short writings is called 'wild ducks flying backward.' that sorta gives you a hint of what's in the book, haha. EITHER WAY, check him out if you have time. (:

lo and behold, it happened!
i sprained my ankle during fourth!

it resembles a watermelon, and it really hurts, and i need to pee but the washroom's too far away, but it's okay.

because now i can finish my project.

so, the librarian calls me out of science class today to go to her office. (i like science, goddamit.) yesterday, i had to go on a trip for the book club. we were supposed to be back at school by 3:30, but yesterday morning, mom goes like, 'you have a doctor's appointment at 3:40, so its a bad idea to go on the trip, you may miss your appointment.'

so i get dressed anyways, so i can make it to the library to tell them that i can't go on the trip. however, before i can leave the house, the librarian calls my house and asks about my whereabouts. i tell her. she hangs up.

ANYWAYS.
today, she calls me out of science class to lecture me on how irresponsible i was. she called me a liar, said that i made up the whole doctor's appointment, and told me that i took the library's services for granted.

on my way out, i mumble, 'bitch.'

'what was that?'

so, as i said it, i knew it was a bad idea, but i was pissed. 'i said, bitch. i want the trip money back, by the way.'

soooo. she sends me to the office, and i miss the rest of science. (i do not like missing science class.)

--

i get home, spill soda on my laptop. now i have to use the family computer and its freaking slow.

so i feel really pissed, mom will not stop bitching at me, and i'm annoyed at myself for being in such a bad mood and i also feel selfish for bitching about my problems when i have it a lot better than many people.

oh, man.

see my 'mood' up there? i am the purple emoticon and reefer is the orange one. <3

the musical style is sorta like hey jude, at least to me. but the lyrics and singing remind me of neutral milk hotel except they don't make your soul feel like a black hole. i love nmh, but god damn, some of their songs make joy leak out of my ears. in a good way? >.> and something about their music is nautical, somehow. i can imagine listening to them on the beach or a cruise or something.

EITHER WAY. go listen. go go go.

done listening? ;D
GOOD. you are now a better person. 8)

mom, for thirteen years, worked at a japanese embassy. it was awesome, she's go to japan and get us these little trinkets, and we'd get invited to all these bazaars, and it was fun. anyways~ so, she quit four years ago and now she misses it.

so she's applying for a lot of positions in ottawa and we may be moving there. if that doesn't work out, we're going to the middle east. hurr hurr, no.

but eh, if i go there, she's not sending me to school. i get to have a private tutor.

but still.
ofadhfoa;jdf. i don't want to move. ):
especially to the middle east.
stupid arabs. D: <
i hate the middle east.
i'm listening to the band 'the middle east' right now.
and its just making me angrier. ):

i feel homesick already.

today, i had to sign out of school early to see my doctor.
the iron levels in my blood are still shitty, the pills aren't helping, because my body isn't absorbing the iron. i have problems breaking down food like spinach and broccoli and get the iron from it, and i can't eat red meat- it makes me feel sick, even though i'm pretty sure its psychological.

long story short; i'm switching the brand of iron pills to another one. if it doesn't work, i'm gonna have to get weekly iron infusions through an iv. i swear, i've gotten so many vaccinations lately, if i drank a cup of water it'll drain out of these little holes in my arms. mannnnnnnnn.




oh, well.
gotta keep looking forward. ♥
i'm getting a new camera in a couple of weeks, and warped is in sixty days.
that is something to look forward to, haha. i give my ticket a goodnight kiss before bed every day. : D

so it's like, quiet for a while, and then i ask if he's okay. he makes this moaning noise and i laugh a little.
so he goes like, "STFU ITS NOY FUNNY."
which made me laugh more.
so he goes like, "GTFO MY HOUSE."
its sad. D;
