briggs - devil's playground

hoo-ha! um. didn't do anything at all today. tuey's right after school, looked at her baby pictures, played tetris lots, lots of strange noise makings. brandon came over for a tad bit and he's got cashola, finally paid me back after 5 months. we went to the supermall and the body jewelry place there won't even hire under 18, but tuey and i made up for it by getting sweatshirts and "following" this really cool 70's punk rock guy around the mall for a while. we ate at olive garden and there were some interesting things going on, we ruined the waiter's good mood when he tripped on tuey's purse, the waitress got ticked off when i asked for water after she'd just brought our drinks, her dad was gettin' kinda drunk and she helped me write out a christmas list (of stuff to buy other people). the drive home was interesting... yeah... and when i got home i talked to my mom about the day, she told me about some stuff goin' on in the family life, and i'm exhausted, so i'm going to sleep now.

ecp - fuck off and die

i got the two towers extended edition today!!! right now is just a short break between putting in the second disk.
ahhhh! the excitement that used to flow through my veins has finally been restored! today we had wind, extreme rain, thunder, lightning and snow!! all my extreme weather condition loves rolled into one!
ummm... oh, i'm really loving weight training these days. and if i can get myself up to it, i plan on actually going for a jog this weekend.
i have many things that need to be done this weekend. here's a list, because i can't think of anything better to write about:
do precal homework
read ch. 11 for history
start/finish history paper
go jogging
buy dropkick murphys cd
hang out with the chilluns (tuey, ryan, etc.)
clean house before chilluns arrive
clean room!
vacuum room
change sheets on bed
throw out trash in bathroom
clean bathroom
get haircut
start christmas list (for other people)
peruse college book
and there's probably some other stuff in there too but i really don't want to think anymore. i am so bored and i think i'm going to go finish the two towers now.
(ooooh man i love these movies! i mean the books send tingles up 'n down every time i read them... but seeing it as a movie is also really damn cool. i mean these guys have done an awesome job, i love it! also, i think it's just 'cause it's -the lord of the rings- out there where -everyone- can have a chance to love it, that it's so cool. way back when in like, 7th grade, when brent found out they were making it into movies... damn, i can remember the day when we just looked at the computer screen, and in the red alert window was like this picture of a tower and.... yeah... okay... i also remember the day the very first trailer came out... i am so obsessive, i'm checking out now.)

coheed and cambria - time consumer

completely lost track of time today. after i wrote an essay for fred, i headed over to jon's and had an absolutely wonderful day. we watched snatch, bought a book, ate wendy's, attempted to go to the life after highschool thing... ended up driving around before going back to his house to play video games. it was lovely! it reminded me of back in the old days of summer, me 'n jon, going all over talking about everything and laughing and just having a good time. i didn't realize just how much i'd missed him until i took his socks and we sat talking for about 20 minutes before we even remembered to start the movie. it was just wonderful, really.
anyway, i got this book about colleges... i haven't had much of a chance to look it over thoroughly yet, but i'm also thinking i wasted my money already. i mean, really, i'll probably just end up going to some school in state and that'll be it. but i like the idea of going out of state, so i'll look into it... and maybe i'll come up with something. maybe something will strike me.

our lady peace - bring back the sun

i got some kickass sweatpants today - black and baggy with a faded skull and crossbones on the butt.
i also got out of history for a while to go to the dentist - as usual they ooh'd and aah'd over my teeth (thank you, dr. whimpey!), only this time they didn't tell me to keep flossing. i didn't even get a free toothbrush and floss, actually... anyway, talked to cathy, the lady cleaning my teeth, about colleges and such and she recommended some genius book that has all the information about colleges you can imagine. she also, like scott, suggested that i look into east coast schools. i'm torn. stay in washington, where i so far haven't been able to find a college that i actually, truly, want to go to... or take a chance, start a new life on the other side of the continent, around completely unknown people and surroundings, and leave everything i know behind.
i really need to look into that book.
so... i'm actually procrastinating right now...

dropkick murphys - buried alive

wellll surprisingly, i didn't die a tired death this morning. so i'm betting that'll be tomorrow. good news, though! i think i'm catching up on my work, and i might possibly be able to stay on top this time. anyway, i got a (drop)kick out of listening to the murphys in the shower this morning, as well as singing one of their songs (the dirty glass) out loud to myself in the car on the way to school this morning. i think mentally secluding myself from people is starting to effect me.
also, i think i'm starting to think like brent did. you know, unable to stand the "stupid people" all around. i don't see as many as he did, though, and that's good! there's just a couple kids in anatomy...
man, i know i don't have the same excited spark i had all summer, but i'm definitely getting my cheerful mood back a little bit. i had another moment today at lunch. nothing really exceptionally big, just standing in a group of other people who i like and get along with.... flashback to 9th grade, when we had the "group" of friends who got along and all that. i knew it'd happen eventually. and maybe it's not even a specific group of friends, but it's still nice to have more than a couple people together at once.
i still feel sweaty from work, so i think i'm going to go wash my face a couple times.

mxpx - punk rawk show

today i worked at 7:30... blah. i like working meets, they're easier (sort of), more interesting, and there's other people working at the same time. what i don't like, though, is having to wake up early on the weekends. if i could find some kind of way to fix that... but yeah, so today all the pool attendants were in, doing bleachers, and tasha and i got off at noon and tomorrow i go in to do more bleachers.
since then, i haven't done much. took a shower, put my pajamas back on, done a little math... i just don't feel very productive right now, but that might change. i just can't believe i've lost 4 hours already!
also, since it was raining today, i learned an important lesson about my buick: do not try to take corners too fast, it will skid out of control. i didn't hit anyone, but i was damn close. i've been thanking god all day that i didn't.
