I'm further admitting my questionable taste in music here, but I fucking love this song.

I've been singing it around the house all day. The AMV is pretty hip, too. |D

I think today is going to be a day where I sit around and do pretty much nothing. I really should get up and do something, but... I'm so lazy. I'll sit around today and read [info]cochese's NaNo novel, and read the WoD handbook for the game on Sunday, and read my Driver's manual more because I feel like I'm forgetting it already, and then draw a lot because I've been very lax in my "DRAW LIKE YOU MEAN IT EVERY DAAAAY" policy lately.

Randomly, I didn't have quite as large a musical bias towards Zelman as I thought I did, since only 48 of my 866 songs made it onto his playlist. I don't know if I have even a CDs worth of music for Nill or Dark, though. I do not listen to quiet music. Or in Dark's case, crazy music. All my music is angry and full of itself. Or like... Disney. :|

Gonna go take a shower now. Personal hygene, get. I should also take my vitamins.

Laundry would also be a good idea.

So in summary:
• NaNo Novel
• WoD Handbook
• Driver's Manual
Draw Things
Shower!?
Vitamins
• Laundry

Tomorrow, I will do things. Today I should plan for the things I'm going to do tomorrow so that I will be faced with the overwhelming guilt of not getting them done if I don't. I am debating turning off my laptop for three straight days next week to see if 1) I actually have the self-control to go through with it, and 2) if I can actually get more real-life things done.

I would love for my period to be over so that I can stop randomly feeling like crap. B(

I will not screw up on which bus to get on this time. Southcenter shopping district, here I come. I think I'll be weird and bring my sketchbook so that I can draw on the bus and people with think I'm one of those crazy artist types you don't wanna mess with and so will not sit in the seat next to me.

My headphones are dying, orz. I will have to stop in Best Buy and get some new ones or something. Because without my music... I cannot correctly function. Why, Skullcandy, have you forsaken me? I thought you were high quality. I thought you cared.

FUCK YEAH UNEMPLOYMENT, WHOO, LET'S SEE WHO'S HIRING FOR THE HOLIDAYS.

The first songs that played this morning thanks to my radio alarm:

1. Pink, "So What"
2. Jason Mraz, "I'm Yours"
3. Ciara, "One, Two Step"
4. Some love song I don't care about.
5. Katy Perry, "I Kissed a Girl"
6. Rihanna, "Disturbia"

And then I was lost after that. But still, that's 5/6 awesome songs this morning. I was happy. It's fun to wake up stuff I can dance to. The sun is also trying to come out, which is good.

I have a meeting with a friend's mom today to see if I can't do something website-oriented for her for cash; I really hope I don't have to tell her that I can't do it. Since I'm not exactly a professional in the field, I'm missing my usual graphic tools, and I'm out of practice. But I'm also good at pulling off neat stuff with minimal material, so I'll see just what she wants me to do. I don't want to say no if there's money involved. |D

[info]pained_life, you win--Dark's coming back again.

Actually, I could live with the profile.

It's plain as all hell and the ordering of information is silly, but I could learn to love it in time. This is coming from the über-optimist, mind you. What I cannot stand, however, is the fact that there's no way to navigate out of management or userpic pages besides the back button. It is a white page with text on it. What happened to the navigation bar that signifies you're on an actual website and not some randomly claimed page of white pixels?

No order and no navigation make Stick... Something something.

Also, a meme! Stolen from [info]deadasleaves. :Db

1. Put your iPod on shuffle.
2. For each question, press the next button to get your answer.
3. YOU MUST WRITE THAT SONG NAME DOWN NO MATTER HOW SILLY IT SOUNDS!

Oh my gooooooood I'm so tired.

My brain is like, "Stay up, stay up! You'll get five hours of your life back this way!" and my body promptly replies, "You moron, you shouldn't be running on five hours of sleep!". But if my body had it's way with me I'd wake up at 3pm everyday and nothing would ever get done, ever.

I swear I'm gonna get shit done today. Seriously.

Even my fish is like, "Jesus Christ woman, turn the light off, I was sleeping. D8" Not that there's too much difference between the light on and the light off right now, since the floating plants keep multiplying and covering up the top of the water so no light can get through. It's kind of a battle between me wanting my fish to be able to see and wanting my fish to have awesome oxygenated water.

I THINK MY MP3 PLAYER DIED TOO. Which would be, uh, the second MP3 player of this type that's broken, in which case I should probably say, "Screw you, SanDisk, I'm getting a Zune with MP4 capabilities." With the money... From the job... I don't have yet. :|

Yesterday I was all thinking, "Do I have a problem? Am I chronically tired or something?". Today I've realized... No. I'm just a lazy teenager that sits in her room on the computer all day when she should be outside doing... Life... Things.

I think my brother is home, COMPLAIN COMPLAIN.

So I know some people have posted about it already, but I finally have a NaNoWriMo page HERE if they'd want to buddy me for the action-packed month. Y'all should tell me yours when you get them so that I can buddy you back. I like watching people make progress. I'll overachieve and make an LJ too eventually, but that's for later. |D

Long-coming ramble about the new season of Heroes, HUEG SPOILERZ~? )

I need more Avatar icons, and I need more Batman icons. Don't expect me to be on much for the nest few days, because I'm going places with my folks and such. Family fun time, woot!

Today was made of awesome. Woke up at like, eleven, went to go see The Dark Knight again, this time with my family. One of the previews was for this epic car battle movie or something, but I heard this familiar guitar music in the background and started freaking out when I realized it was "Welcome to the Jungle". I was all, "OH MY GOD IT'S GUNS N' ROSES! I LOVE THIS SONG! ♥" Because I never recognize any music playing anywhere. To top it all off, a couple trailers later I recognized "Sympathy for the Devil" by the Rolling Stones and I was just like, wow. They picked good music this time around. :D Lots of good trailers lately, too. It looks like some good stuff is coming up, I'm excited.

Seeing The Dark Knight again was super-special-awesome. I loved it even more this time around, and the audience actually laughed and cheered and gave collective sighs when they were supposed to. Brandy, whaddya say next week we hop on the 130-whatever bus and see it at that new AMC theatre? 83 Kiley's already seen it, so.

Very minor spoilers that doesn't really have anything to do with the plot anyway: )

Gaming on the weekend was also fabulous. My sexy vampire character now has a harem of goth chicks, and a girlfriend that can bring in half the military whenever I ask. I hope I can show up for the next game, at least, because I like it when I actually do something right for once. 8) Also, I made more icons out of the quotes from our game while I waited for the new Wiki to register. These are mostly for [info]cochese and myself, but I dunno, maybe one of you guys would like them. Just as warning, this batch contains sex jokes, dead babies, racism, drugs, and the other sorts of things that slip out of teenagers' mouths when they're being attacked by the forces of evil. I doubt many of these will make sense, even with me explaining the context. :)

Yar! )

So I started a writing project last night in a fit of boredom where I plan to write one letter to someone every day all summer in my notebook. You know, letters to friends, letters to the world, letters to communities, letters to myself, letters to various religious figures (Yo, Jesus. 'Sup? Thor, Buddah, how's it hangin'?), etc. I don't know if I'll ever send any of them, but maybe I'll post the good ones at the end of the summer or something. I don't know, it just sounded like fun.

Guh, my disk-drive is shot. Won't play anything right, won't burn anything. I don't know if it will even read anything anymore. It just sorta... Died. So no new music for my MP3 player for a while, I guess.

THINGS TO DO THIS WEEK:
• Return that book to the library!
• Stop being a hermit and call/message people!
• Send that thank-you note to my temp job!
• Get my state ID so that I can do things!
• Make a list of dates/prices for college!
• Get back on a normal sleep pattern!
• Get pictures from Megan!
• Get script from Megan!
• Get app in for [info]evernoir!
• Not drop my forum RPs like a loser!
• Decide whether or not I'm keeping Agito as a muse!

AND STUFF TO DO NEXT WEEK:
• Get back on that job... hunt... thing!
• Start breaking out the scholarship essay-writing skills!
• Chose college classes or at least read the damn descriptions!
• Figure out just what my dorm allows, wut!
• Clean the piles of stuff that have grown in the corners of my room!

GO TEAM.

Team Stick, woot.

I didn't sleep well last night, so I'm kind of incoherent and can't understand what people tell me. I'll like, read what someone writes to me and then just sort of... Not understand any of it. I can't seem to string two thoughts together, at the moment. And while that would be great if I were trying to get IC for Gil or Dark or something, I'm not, so it's unhelpful.

I need food. *FORAGES*

I just had, like, the best day ever. I just came back from Barnes & Nobles with some Queens of the Stone Age and the whole new Sweeney Todd soundtrack. It's the CD with all the songs in it, even one or two that didn't make it into the movie. It's even got the Final Scene in it, which is my favorite song.

I still gots money to pay off my fines from the library, and money to spend on RP accounts, because I'm an addict. [info]a_belletrist, I'll send you a couple Amazon.com links for CDs I'd like~ Wow, I'm all over the music this year. [info]pained_life will let me borrow her music too, so yay, more tunes for me. 8Db

Anyway, my friends were up since, like, the crack of dawn getting stuff ready for me. First they dragged me around Pike Place Market, which was really fun--I got Russian pastries (piroshki) and mini doughnuts and decided that I'd really like to open up my own glass and art shop down there one day. It'd be right next to [info]pained_life's bakery and right around that one amazing bookstore with the second-floor window seat. XD

And then they pulled me over to that one park and OMG THEY HAD A WHOLE SURPRISE BIRTHDAY PARTY READY FOR ME OMG OMG OMG. I was... So surprised, even though it was seriously obvious and they did something like it last year. I got a ton of confetti in my face, and there was food, and like, all my friends and my favorite teachers and even [info]cochese and [info]nakedvillainy were there for the beginning. I cried again, too, because I was so surprised and happy and omg. It was just... So awesome. They'd been planning it for months, and they were like, all accomplished when they got me to cry. Jeez. X'D

And I got lots of swag. 8D )

And then we all went over to hang in a bookstore for an hour, check out books and music and all that. 8D So now I gotta go clean my room so that I have room for all this stuff. XD;

I'm listening to Rammstein, which is really weird, even for me. But I'm loving it, which is even weirder. Have a personal brownie point, [info]painless_hurt. I wish I had my better headphones with me so that I could get the whole angry German bass effect in full. :O

I've had my face coated in itchy makeup and my scalp tortured with curling irons for the past two days... And I'm pretty sure I'm going to develop cancer thanks to all the hairspray I've inhaled. But there's only one more day of it, so all is well.

Got all my homework stuff figured out for this week and next, so I get to hang out with my friends and go gaming this weekend. I CAN HAZ CELEBRATION FOR HARD WORK, YES? 8D

PS: MOM, IF YOU READ THIS WHILE YOU'RE IN FLORIDA, YOU SHOULD PICK ME UP SOME HIP FLORIDIAN HEADPHONES OR SOMETHING, BECAUSE EVEN MY GOOD ONES ARE FOR THE FAIL. :|

You can bring those home instead of the live alligator. ♥ It'll be easier to get through customs, too! "Ma'am, there seems to be a live alligator in your bag. We're going to have to take you in for suspected terrorism."

[info]ostia, I believe I owe you my soul. ♥

The Black Blood Brothers translation is fantastic. I picked up so much "my bad", "oh shut up," slang, and pro-wrestling references in Zelman's speech that were lost in the other one. Professional wrestling, of all things. It was amazing. XDDD

Randomly, daffodils last a really long time when they're in water. I was expecting mine to wilt by the end of the day when I picked it, but it's still lookin' good three days later. Snazzy little daffodil, thou art a trooper.

Also--I'm feeling really random today--but my music is so emo. Boyband-rock-scene!emo, if you will. XD; I mean, I've got lots of random stuff on there from all sorts of genres, but a while ago I put my player on shuffle and it came up, Fall Out Boy, Panic! at the Disco, Death Cab for Cutie, Blink 182, Franz Ferdinand, Green Day, in that order.

I think I need some new music. B3b

You know how some people grind their teeth or like, clamp their mouth shut and tense up their jaw while they sleep? I think that, instead of that, I bite my cheek in my sleep. I'll sometimes catch myself doing it while I'm still awake, but a couple days back I woke up and I'd like, bitten into the flesh there and it was kind of ouch. It's fine now, though, since I've noticed the inside of my mouth heals really fast.

Although I've got this weird line of texture on the inside of both of my cheeks because of how I unconsciously bite down on them. Does this sort of thing happen to anyone else, or am I just weird?

Also, this song is awesome. 8D
