snowed in

so i love snow
actually scratch that i hate snow. playing in the snow hasn't been fun since i was 14 and started caring how ridiculous i look in snow clothes.
and snow means i cant go anywhere.
i think that snow is the most awesome when one is in high school, because of snow days. snow days were really awesome when i was in high school because it meant that we lost a whole day to do work. thursday snow days were the best, because often, when classes returned on friday, we wouldnt do anything on that day either.

so snow days in high school were fantastic, snow days during break absolutely suck. i was stuck in my house all day today and will probably be stuck here all day tomorrow. kill me

when love is live the fire burns
underneath the twists and turns
of mazes hidden in your veins

your blood now follows the path
that I laid out

in little cracks and crevasses
of cobblestones and streets unfolded
on the map inside your mind
i bring your lips just up to mine
and now the lines i speak are bolded
please dont go
you wont be told
again

thanks

i am thankful for warm beds and for people to love

life

blogging is stupid. i honestly don't know why i even write anymore. i am not at all creative unless im severely depressed. in other words, i write the best when i am miserable on the inside. i mean, a lot of the time i wouldnt feel unhappy but there was still that thin veil of dissatisfaction with something in my life. im still not sure what that 'something' was, but it sure compelled me to express myself through poetry and art, a compulsion which i have not felt for a very long time. so what is the point of writing anymore, if my poetry has gotten worse and worse since i have found more and more reasons to be happy?

sometimes i wish i could go back. being a struggling creative soul is better than having a soul that cannot create anything beautiful. a soul without the ability to create is a soul devoid of beauty.

novemberrr

hey happy november
so i am super excited for thanksgiving even though theres still a couple weeks til break. i cant wait to see my friends from home and my family and eat good food and finally not have to worry about getting work done. cause after thanksgiving, there's basically just finals and then school is done for the semester
isnt it crazy that I'm almost done with my first semester of college? WTF


also, can we talk about this video? or even just about the song? i think im in love ♥
and i got this one free on itunes! who says that the free music isnt any good?

29.10.10

i whip my hair

"Hop up out the bed turn my swag on
Pay no attention to them haters cuz we whip em off
and we aint doing nothing wrong
so dont tell me nothing, i'm just tryna have fun
so keep the party jumping"

have you heard "whip my hair" by willow smith? seriously worth listening to.

"I'ma get more shine than a little bit
Soon as i hit the stage applause im hearing it
whether its black stars black cars im feeling it
but can't none of them whip it like i do"

Willow smith had an unlimited amount of funds for this song, obviously her father funded this for her. but if i were will smith i would be seriously proud of my daughter for being so awesome. just like her father.

"I, i gets it in mmmm yea i go hard
when they see me pull up i whip it real hard
i whip it real hard,real hard,i whip it real hard"

listen to this fucking song seriously

bored again obviously

im so bored. just spent the last 30 minutes looking for an online link to the second episode of this season of The Big Bang Theory. I finally found a link, and i feel like it would be awesome to share it with you all (assuming that at least one person reads my blog)
http://www.wisevid.com/play?v=4A_uqu9c85u3

now im watching the big bang theory and now im a little less bored, good thing that it is 2 am and i have class in the morning. im such a loser

and no one reads my blog.

11.10.10

LEANNE

leanne is my room mate she is blonde and has a twin. she is a lot of fun to hang out with and she is pretty messy, just like me. We always say that we are going to clean our room, but we never do. it's okay, it's better that we let it get messy until it is intolerable and then deal with it then. Hm. im not going to clean up for a while. i have to do laundry. gr. laundry costs money. i hate spending money.

there is big lightning tonight. i speak good english.

that's it. im not very good at blogs.

and after death comes rebirth



this isnt my picture i found it on the internet... but it seriously represents what i love most about fall. i am in love with the colors of autumn, and though it has been gross and rainy out for the last couple of weeks, i love autumn just because it is such a beautiful season.

weddings

so last weekend i went to my cousin andrea's wedding and it was so much fun
first of all, i got to go to rhode island for the weekend and i swam in the ocean with all of my little cousins. how often does one get to swim in the ocean when it is almost october? i feel lucky that the weather was so nice. also i got to hang out with my whole immediate and extended family, all of whom i have missed very much, because I havent seen them in a while since I have been at college.
also, the wedding itself was awesome. it was at this beautiful non-denominational church in rhode island that was all wood on the inside, with very few decorations or anything. It was a very beautiful church and a great service. i love armenian weddings. the food was fantastic and the wedding bands were absolutely phenomenal. there was one armenian band, and we did armenian line dancing and the tamzara obviously. and then after that they had an american cover band that was actually really fun to listen and dance to.
i love weddings because i love watching the ceremony and listening to the prayers and seeing the bride in her dress and yknow everything that comes with a wedding.

23.9.10

:P

take a journey into my mind you can see its venom i rhymee

i absolutely love that song :)

is it sad that that is all i have to say?
also, múm is fantastic.

21.9.10

boreddd

why do i have so much free time in collegeee
its ridiculouss
and most of my extra time i spend eating or sleeping or on the computer and whenever i have to do anything productive i end up finishing it in an hour and having significantly more time than i thought i had.
I could do my physics homework right now but i just finished my calculus and im not in the mood to do more math related things right now

im also pretty hungry but i have to wait to go to the dining hall because its King Neptune night (LOBSTER) and SUPER crowded. and the line is just getting longer and longer every fucking second.

I JUST WANT LOBSTERRR >:(
and some king crab legs if they have them.

12.9.10

baby animals

WHY ARE BABY ANIMALS SO DARN CUTE?
i seriously cant get over how cute baby animals are. theres this website that i like to go to called The Daily Squee and its full of really cute animals that are floofy and are full of cuteness. I don't understand it at all! Like, why are teeny things so much cuter than the large versions? Even human babies are a lot cuter than human adults. Especially when they laugh and make gurgley noises. I really like babies. GAH so cute.


this is the song "Kids" which in a way is sort of similar to babies. I like babies. And MGMT.
The baby in this video is so super cute even though he is crying and i feel like i would be traumatized if i was him.


7.9.10

im not exactly sure where i heard this song first but i was recently linked to it again and i remembered how much i like straylight run. i posted a straylight run song before likeee a couple months ago. this one is really different though it sort of reminds me of Brand New. (straylight run is made up of two guys from taking back sunday, who are really similar to brand new. maybe that is why. actually probably is why. hmm)

anyways i gotta pee

fat sandwiches

i love fat sandwiches.
they are one of the most fantastic things that I have ever eaten in my life. basically its a sandwich with assorted delicious items inside of it. stuff like french fries, mozzarella sticks, buffalo tenders, gyro, chicken fingers, and other stuff too, usually fried and not very good for you.

I LOVE THE GREASETRUCKS!
best things of my life, other than corn nuts.

3.9.10

classes, etc

wow so i started my college classes on wednesday, and im really excited to actually get into the lessons. i'm taking calc 2, physics, and bio, along with some first year seminar things. i honestly can't wait to get into the calc stuff because i really like calc... even though i heard that calc 2 is absolutely awful. im also really excited for physics because i know that i am going to enjoy it a lot. (i've always really liked physics). im not really that excited for gen bio, because i think its gonna be a lot of work... but i'm sure i'll be fine. umm i dont have much else to say except yay collegee.

oh also i went to my first college football game last night and we WON! so exciting, at least for the first quarter. (I left halfway through the game because I was bored.)

ps, brand new

29.8.10

COLLEGE

OMG COLLEGE IS SO FANTASTIC
i love my roommates, i love my campus, i love my classes, i love my boyfriend

the only thing that is crazy is that my books for all of my classes would cost almost one thousand fucking dollars if i bought them USED from the campus bookstore. so i am going to buy them off of amazon. otherwise i seriously would have to whore myself out to pay for it
or at least strip or something



26.8.10

ok

okay so im actually packing now.. and i cant believe that all... well most of my clothes fit in one suitcase. granted, its a REALLY big suitcase, but still. shouldn't I have more clothes than that? i mean, I've been looking at my list of clothes, and i have a tonn of outfit choices so i guess im sort of all set. all i have in my second suitcase at this point is two belts. what else do i have?? i feel like im forgetting something. I guess i'll find that out once i'm actually at college. all i still have to pack are things that i have on hangers, which i probably won't put in suitcases anyways cause i don't want them to get wrinkled.
I just realized that I am exceptionally boring.
well listen to this song
i got it free on itunes a couple days ago and it's probably the best free download that I've ever gotten, other than some of the starbucks downloads.

23.8.10

packing.

im packing for college

this is so weirdd! my whole life has gone by so fast.. and now I'm going to college? i remember everything that happened on my first day of high school. but i don't remember if i felt this way. was i surprised at how fast middle school was over? was i scared then? I probably was. going from a private middle school to a public high school was a crazy transition. Now i'm not scared at all. I'm not worried about college. I mean, I'm a little worried about making friends and I'm a little worried about my classes and stuff. But they have advisors for the classes and there is no way i wont make any friends. So I know those fears aren't that big of a deal. Will I miss my family? I don't even know whether I will be homesick or not. If I miss home, I'm in pretty good shape cause my college is only a little over an hour away from my house but still... It's gonna be so odd not seeing my little brother and sister every day. I wonder if they will miss me. They probably will. I know I'm going to miss them, at least a little bit. Though I feel a little bit anxious about this change in my life, I am more excited than anything.
AH IM SO EXCITED
i can't wait for my life to start.

19.8.10

collegee&hipstermusic

so i find out my schedule tomorroww
super exciting!

anddd i forgot i was writing this so the window has been open for at least a half hour and i dont know what to write about, im sure everything in my blog will be much more exciting once i go to college because apparently exciting things happen in college. i really hope soo
so im living in a suite style dorm room in college. in the suite there are three rooms with two girls in each, a common room and our own bathroom which is awesomeee
i havent told my suitemates about my boyfriend yet, (we are going to the same college..) so i'll have to let them know that he may be staying over some nightss haha
and i have talked to them, and they all seem really really sweet, but i dontt think that any of them party or anything which is a shame but im sure ill find friends who like to go out. who knows maybe the suitemates will turn out to be really wild haha

also, animal collective.

16.8.10

so i feel shitty. awful. dead. however you wanna put it. i am so sick that it hurts to breathe deeply. why am i sick so often? i never used to get sick. this is the worst. :( i dont know what to do, exactly... so i think that i'm just going to go to bed. honestly thats all i can do right now. i'd be surprised if i'm awake past ten.
i havent put up a song in a while... so i think i'm gonna put up a múm song. blow your nose is a great one


12.8.10

Clothes for College

for reasons i don't completely understand, I decided to make a grand list of every item that I am going to bring with me to college. I started my list off with a bold "CLOTHES FOR COLLEGE", but i sat staring at the list for a while, with only that heading in place. what do i write down first? I decided to put down jeans first. I walked over to my dresser and yanked the bottom drawer out. okay so i had two pairs of jeans that fit me well, so, I decided to bring those two pairs and two other pairs that I know are super uncomfortable. I need to buy a new pair of jeans, because all of the ones on the list are like 2 years old. for the next category, I put down 'Pants/Other,' congratulating myself on creating a heading under which I can include sweatpants, leggings, and jeggings.
as I went on, I realized, I have a LOT of clothes. All of the times I have said "I dont have ANYTHING to wear," i was seriously lying. On my list, I have over twenty shirts listed, though I haven't worn even half of them in the last 6 months.
Do I really need all of these clothes? I am now thinking of all of the items of clothing that I did NOT include in the list. I have so many old t-shirts that I never have and never will wear. I have things I've outgrown, but have never taken the time to remove from my closet. Before I go, I think I have to take the time to clean out my closet and take everything that I don't want to Salvation Army or another organization that would be willing to take all this stuff off of my hands.

I used to buy stuff I wanted without thinking how many times I would wear it; if I saw something ridiculously cute and reasonably priced, I would buy it, even if I would only be able to wear it once. Granted, I have never been a shopaholic, and I've always been hesitant to buy anything above twenty dollars. But thinking now, I realize that it would be a lot smarter to buy a $40 shirt that I could mix and match and wear with a lot of outfits than to buy a $25 pair of purple high heels that I think may look cute with something in the future, eventually. The more use you get out of any particular item of clothing, the easier it is to splurge on it.

"everything that i own
starts to pile up like bones
to make the walls of a prison"

i hoped that you could do this for me but now
im fucked up and crying like i used to all the time
crying and sobbing and pounding and crying
i fucking hate how i feel right now
this is like dying

its too loud in here
its too loud in my head
it will never quiet down
these sounds are pounding on my skull from the inside
like the waves break on the shore they hit the sand
over and over and over and over
i am these waves my body flows with the salted waters
my tears mix in one drop for every billion
thats a whole fucking lot of tears

7.8.10

We are not snowflakes.

We want to be famous. No, seriously. We want to be famous. Actually, we just want to have no problems in our lives. We want to be carefree. We want to be able to travel. We want to be able to do things without anxiety. We want to lose weight. We want to write a book. We want to be flawless. We want to be beautiful without even trying.

And so why do we want to be famous? I guess we wanna be special. We want to stand out. We want people to notice us.

"Being famous," we sometimes conclude, "would be a vehicle for the rest of my desires in life."

We wouldn't have to worry about money. We could eat the healthiest foods and the most delicious meals.
How could we ever be famous? We are not anything special.

"So where does that leave me?"

We don't know. Right now, we are nowhere. We are caught in a barren, nameless land. When we look around, we can see many budding oases, way off, far in the distance. If we walk toward any patch of this voracious green growth, it scatters in different directions, none convenient for a person to follow.

"How can any place be called an oasis if there is no chance of reaching it? How can I Wish in the absence of Hope?"

I don't know. Because right now, I am nowhere. I am a grain of sand buried under billions of others, each one almost exactly alike. Or maybe I am one wisp of grass on endless dunes, just as likely to be devoured by some locust or other invasive bug as I am to die unnoticed in a violent coastal storm. Maybe I am one untended country road, potholes so abundant that it is as if the road is not paved at all. I will never be repaved, because no one takes any notice of my condition because I lead nowhere special. Whatever I am, I am not special. I am just like millions of others.

We are not snowflakes. We are mass produced plastic pieces to a useless product that will probably be recalled soon anyways. We are disposable.

"And don't you want to be able to say otherwise?
Well, you can make it that way."

WOLF PARADE

okay so i was gonna go to bed early tonight but then i ended up on the internet, and we all know what the internet does it draws us in, and makes us slaves to the screen. anyways while i was on the internet, i was listening to Wolf Parade's newest album, Expo 86, which i havent really gotten a chance to listen to since i downloaded. and AH i truly like the album, and though i am not as "into" the new songs as I was into their last album, Apologies To the Queen Mary, i am IN LOVE with the song "little golden age". gah its lovely

4.8.10

housing assignments not out yett

okay so im super upset because my housing assignment is not released yet, even though some people say that they have the housing up on their university profiles. whatever i think that someone said that we would be getting emails about where we are living soon, by friday, hopefully.
It is past one in the morning but i am not tired at all. I am listening to eminem's new album. I really like eminem.
also, on an unrelated note, all of a sudden one of my youtube videos got like one hundred views in one night, and at least two dozen AWFUL comments on it! i was really sad cause people were saying pretty mean things about me so i deleted a bunch of them. I hate when people are mean to me it makes me really really sad.
oh and on another unrelated note i just saw despicable me, SO SUPER CUTE omg the littlest girl in the movie is so cute and steve carell is HILARIOUS
and my favorite part is when the little girl says ITS SO FLUFFY IM GONNA DIE about the stuffed unicorn. oh and i couldnt stop laughing in the beginning when the Vector guy was talking to Gru and he has the piranha gun and i almost peed myself.
okay this is the most disjointed blog post ever gah i must be more tired than i thought.

and something about animal collective. super awesome music to be high to.
also, music in general goes well with weed.

2.8.10

Happy August!

Happy August 2010! yayyy
and my housing assignment for college is supposed to come through officially tomorrow, so i am super excited about that. I hope that I get my first choice, because I am really looking forward to living on the campus with the best food and the best gym.
Anyways that's really all I have to say for today.
I'm going to go to the beach soon so I'm not really in the mood to write much. I'm just so excited to swim because yesterday was so cold and rainy that we couldn't possibly have fun at the beach.

Song Spotlight, July 31: Sleepyhead

holy shit
i was at my cousins house yesterday, and she put on this song that i vaguely recognized. the song, my friends, was Sleepyhead, by Passion Pit. Now, the reason that I recognized the song was because I had downloaded it for free a very long time ago from rcrdlbl.com. now, I listened very very closely to the song, and I actually fell in love. I downloaded Passion Pit's album, "Manners" and now im thoroughly obsessed with this band. They aren't even the standard genre that I listen to, but for some reason I can't stop listening to them. Their sound is so different to me that i don't know, I feel free, even liberated, by their songs, especially the songs Little Secrets, Moths Wings, and especially Sleepyhead.
its something i needed to share with the world. or at least with the 3 people who read my blog.

SUSHI

sooo i dont know what to write about but i think this time im going to just say how much i like sushi. sushi is so awesome. i always used to go to sushi with my friend Diesel after school, because we love love love it. my favorite roll is probably spicy tuna, though i love cucumber rolls and shrimp tempura, even though tempura is so so so bad for you(its literally all fried, and if jordi is reading this, then i would suggest to you that you try this type of sushi because it is fried and most of the 7 foods you eat are fried. maybe you will like it). i absolutely love california rolls too, just because of the cucumber and the avocado that is inside. ugh this is making me so super hungry for sushi right now. good thing that it is fucking 12:35 in the morning. (that was sarcastic, because, why would it EVER be a good thing that it is too late to order sushi?)
anyways.
ugh now i want sushi
i think i will ask my aunt and my little cousins to go out to lunch with me tomorrow. i dont know whether they have ever had sushi before (the younger one has, she is very open to trying new foods) but i am going to make them try it.

you know what's so annoying? occasionally, when i ask people if they like sushi, i sometimes like get a look from them, and they say something like, "just think about it. why would you ever want to eat something as disgusting as raw fish" and i just stand there thinking, you've probably never tried it, so you have no fucking idea what its like. and i also feel like saying, if its good sushi, there's no risk of getting sick because as long as the fish is super fresh and not fucking disease ridden, you will be COMPLETELY FINE.
ugh that's one of the most annoying things about people is that sometimes, they look down upon people who eat sushi. even though it is delicious.
so that is all.

can't believe i just ranted about people who don't like sushi. do i have a life?

26.7.10

woww

okay so i havent posted on my blog in such a long time! i dont know really what to write about so i will just say something about Leadership Quest! I went to this program called leadership quest at my college for four days it was so much fun. we did ropes activities, listened to presentation by the deans, had a barbecue, weeded for community service, and what i'm most proud of, a 24-hour project in which we prepared a five minute presentation on how we would modify the campus tour to make it more enjoyable.
anyways i met a ton of amazing people who im definitely going to hang out with again once school starts.
the only awful thing is, that i lost my camera so there's no documentation of how much fun we has together. also, im really sad because i had other pictures on there too, ones from my graduation party and other important times of my life... like prom! ugh whatever... hopefully someone finds it cause the pictures are what are important to me.

16.7.10

so i thinkkkk my girlfriends and i are going camping at my country club tonight, cause they have like this annual camp out, but i have no clue if we are going to end up staying because as of right now, it is about 95 degrees outside and my mother and i struggled setting up our 10 person tent. so im not sure what our plan is for tonight. i hope that we get to at least spend a little time outside, but knowing us we will end up inside like we have for the past two yearss. it doesnt matter though i know we will have an amazing time no matter what. now i am seriously famished. i dont think i have eaten anything today so i should probably go eat something. hm. im pretty lazy i may just stay up here in my room. that sounds like a viable option for at least another half hour.
oh and btw i really like this song by coheed and cambria, you should listen to it cause coheed is awesomee

okay so the new song by taio cruz, dynamite, is phenomenal. i think it is destined to be my favorite new song for summer. i wish there was a music video to it though, because all of the youtube versions are just the song with a picture of taio cruz serving as the video. pretty boring. as i am writing this, though, i realize that there IS one pretty good music video out right now. youre probably gonna laugh when you read this, but i think that the California Gurls video by Katy Perry ft Snoop Dogg, is so much fun. tough it has garnered a lot of criticism for "looking nothing like the California I know and love" i think that the video is a creative way to look at the state of california as a place where anything can happen, even something as ridiculous as a world that is a giant game of Candyland. Plus, the outfits are adorable, and Katy Perry is half naked through the whole thing... who could complain about that? (and if youre gonna complain, just dont watch the fucking video. it is that simple. really.)

anyways, here is dynamite, by taio cruz.

9.7.10


k so my little cousin showed me this site called polyvore, its a site where you can make collages of different merchandise and show off your creativity and design skills. i just made the design above with a lot of floral prints that i really like cause theyre pretty vintage looking. (i love vintage floral!) so yeah check the site out if you want its sorta fun to design layouts and stuff

i am so confused. he said he would walk to me. he tried. and i said i loved him. i do. and now i dont know what will happen. we know we want to try this and we are scared of the consequences. it has taken two years to establish a stable friendship. and i wouldnt call us stable. we are the least likely pair, yet we fit so well, like two puzzle pieces, one made to slip neatly next to the other. and is what we have ruined by one small step out of line? i hope not. i said i loved him. and i meant it.

6.7.10

stairs

his teeth
are seashells,
bleached by the summer sun,
they glint when he smiles. He keeps in time
a pendulum ticking ticking back and forth and back again.
Sincerity
radiates from his face
he stares so sweetly, he reaches
deep inside, where my emotions rest.
run my hands through his curly hair. So close
that I can distinctly smell the detergent he uses for his clothes.
Hands gentle
eyes smiling and happy.
whispered secrets tickle my ear
as we crawl away, giggling all the while.
We hide out in our secret place, a place where only we go
in order to hold each other in our arms, walls glowing at our happiness.
And there are no lies.
None. There is nothing kept inside.
The truth doesn't always yield smiles but
When he decides to grin I am shocked. I am puzzled.
Perplexed, by his perfect smile. For how could he smile when his heart was mine?

4.7.10

yay fourthhh

okay so yayy fourthh
ive been down at my shore house for the past couple of days, it is a ton of fun! i have been hanging and chilling with my little cousins who are super awesome, swimming at the beach, literally getting so tan — you should SEE my tan lines ;) — and sleeping. a lot. i don't know why i have been sleeping so much, but i have taken an average of like two 2 hour naps a day for the last couple days, excluding today cause this morning i had a cup of coffee and i didn't have to nap at all and i actually just realized how much this is a run on sentence haha
so anyways like yeah
went to see the fireworks tonight they werent that impressive but that is okay cause i just saw fireworks last week and i have the rest of my life to see fireworks. phew why am i literally only typing in run-ons? Cherylin would be very angry with me.
then we did sparklers and it was super funnn
okay and we are about to watch aristocats so i will cut this short, aristocats is SUPERRR
um listen to this songg chicago is awesomeee :)

30.6.10

I am super cool

so i went to a midnight showing of eclipse, the third installment of the twilight series in movie form. yes. I arrived at the theater around 9:30, so I waited for more than two hours for the movie to start with a horde of preteen girls squealing, their bodies plastered with sharpie scribbles that said things like "Mrs. Taylor Lautner, Mrs. Edward Cullen, JAY BEIBS 4EVER" and other ridiculous things. I even saw someone with both names, Edward and Jacob, written on her thighs. I was like, honey, you've got to choose, cause you can't have both.
Which incidentally is the choice that Bella has to make in the twilight series; does she want the cold, dead, sparkling vampire, or the warm, sexy-bodied wolf-man?(I think you know who I'd choose).
But really, I'm NOT even that into twilight. i mean, I read the first book and whatever, it wasnt that special. I havent even seen the first two movies, (and i probably never will, because I have been told the acting is absolutely horrendous.. but then again, I like a bunch of disney channel shows, so it should be fine)

so im about to go to my family's beach house for the rest of the week, but i have to write about the funniest part of the movie.
(spoiler alert if you care)
at one point Bella attempts to have Edward have sex with her. (which is creepy because he is dead) but Edward stops her. she asks why they cant do it now and edward says something along the lines of, I want to wait until we are married. silence in the theater. I let out a huge sarcastic laugh. the whole theater bursts out laughing. perfect comedic timing on my part. and then i couldnt stop giggling to myself for the next five minutes it was phenommm.
side note, conte came with us and he was one of perhaps 11 guys in a packed theater. i pointed that out to him repeatedly throughout the night.

yeah and that's basically it.

silence

Silence.
And there is nothing for me to say,
because I have your attention already.
What could I possibly do to make you more intrigued?
I tell you that you bore me. That's not true.
I stay silent,
cause what if I need you again?
And so I stay silent.
I try to hush my greatest worry:
"What if I start to bore you?
Then you'd leave me before I had a chance to think."
I know if there were ever a chance that you'd go,
I would take the chance to make you cry first.
Well, maybe not cry.
"I would leave you first,"
and there was silence in return.
I would leave you even if it made me look bad,
"because I am weak," and take rejection much harder than you ever would.
"And you are stronger than you think."

graduation/project graduation

well first of all, let me complain that graduation was inside. apparently the rain was way too much for us to handle. (spoiler: it was sunny practically the whole afternoon)
but actually i'm over that now cause it was actually a great ceremony and I am so glad that I am finally a graduate! (and, I will never have to see most of those people ever again)

Oh, so project graduation was actually so fun! Project Graduation is a trip that a bunch of senior mothers plan for the senior class so that we won't drink on our graduation night. (It sounds like a stupid concept, but research shows that a higher percentage of teens die in car accidents on their graduation nights than on any other night!) So this year, the mothers brought us to the New York Hall of Science. Okay, I know that sounds lame... (I was actually secretly hoping that's where we were going as soon as I saw the building, but shhh)
for the first hour or so, we spent time exploring the exhibits in the main room. There was a ton of stuff to look at and a lot of things to do that was hands on. There were drinks and little appetizers. The people who were bored at this point in the night were people who couldn't really appreciate the science by having fun with it. (When I go to science/natural history museums, I usually literally read every single bit of explanation, writing, and caption because I'm very interested in most everything that the museum curators want me to see.
So anyways, for the next hour they let us into the next part of the museum which has more exhibits and a mini golf course. My friends and I ended up sitting in a circle playing mad libs and "chuck fuck marry" for an hour. by this time, most everyone was bored, but the parents assured us that there was more fun on the way.
Then there was virtual horse racing. No, not actual racing. But we had the opportunity to bet on fake horse races, which actually a ton of people got into. Not me. I was pretty frickin bored.
But then they brought us to the 'club' area. there was a DJ and craps tables an roulette and blackjack (We were only playing for fun and prizes, not for money). There was a dance floor and from about 11 to 3 many people were dancing non-stop... well only stopping for food at the pasta, salad, taco, or burger bars, and then afterwards at the sundae bar.
The night ended with a fantastic hypnotist and a sleepy bus ride home.
I had a ton of fun dancing with my friends but literally slept the whole next day. Idk what else to say....

TL;DR graduation didnt suck, project graduation was fun

here's an awesome new mash from dj earworm that I added two weeks ago, and I actually heard on the radio a couple days ago:

cute animals are cute

okay this is seriously so effing cute i love puppies and kittens so i'll just leave this here.

20.6.10

this is super lame

temptation, i sighed, did your methods grow old?
for i feel as if i've been pulled into the cold
and your sway has been coming from new directions
temptation is bowing to new intentions

temptation, lead me not into the throes of darkness.
lead me away from the life of the blind
all that envy can teach is to reach from behind
steal your faultless flower and leave him to guess

and if i were to choose a direction to lead
we would be repainting all of our signs
and if night were to cover up any bad deed
we'd have to repaint all of our minds



okay so to get the topic off of lame stuff like this poem let's listen to some bing bong brothers.

So my last day of high school was yesterday. I am not taking any finals, so im basically done with school. graduation practice is next wednesday then thursday is graduation.. im not sure if i will be able to make it through without crying. i already cried on the last day of school... and i feel like im one of the only people who is sad that high school is over.
I dont know. Its sort of a bittersweet thing. On the one hand, I am legitimately super excited to go to college in the fall. but honestly, I loved high school, and I am going to miss my friends so so much. I am never going to find anyone the same as them. The group dynamics will never be the same.
Thats really all i have to say
but like since school ended I have been hanging out with the same people as I usually do, and nothing has changed. I know I will be friends with these people for years and years to come. there is no reason that our friendships will disappear, even though none of us are going to the same schools next year. whatever this is making me sorta sad so im going to have to stop.
yeah.

this is one of my favorite things i have ever written

And I will hit two birds with one stone
because it sure beats having to be alone
I will cure my endless hunger with a smile and a kiss
when you try to hit those birds
I'm almost certain you're going to miss
because the pebble never flies the way you want it to go
we all know you dye your hair and that it's only for show
and if you take apart the insides of this crooked machine
you will find a little girl who's trying to fix up all of your dreams



by the way this is from BLITZEN TRAPPER'S newest album, out june the eighth Destroyer of the Void. I think it is phenomenal. Listennn

So I got a question, do you wanna have a slumber party in my basement?

Dear God,
Ke$ha is a MESS.
Have you seen the music video to her song Your Love is My Drug? Of course you have, you see everything, God. So you definitely already know that Ke$ha included a dude in her video who looks suspiciously like your son.(beard and all!) If I were you, God, I would be terribly offended. The music video is also considerably "trippy". There is not as much glitter as in some of Ke$ha's other ventures, but that doesn't mean she has succeeded in NOT looking like a complete SKANK. Please help this misled girl, God. She needs your guidance more than any Britney or Lindsay. And seriously. "$" is NOT a letter. Help her soul. We are all praying for her.

With much Love and Concern,
Mari

p.s. Could you tell her that she is probably the least classy human being in the entertainment industry? It just makes it worse that she is trying to be a drunk whore. (thanks G-man)
