When you're on a hooolidayy...

I'm learning how to play "Island in the Sun" by Weezer, which is tre magnifique! Actually, I already have the main chord progression down.

It's Em, Am, D, G. I D DUDD UU UDD I (Up, Down)

(By the way, the picture to the right shows a G chord.)

And that's basically it. Simple, right? Haha. It's the first song I'm actually learning, which is a step-up from just learning chords. I might just have a future in the music business, which excites me. :]

It's good that I'm taking a break, though, because FCATS put me through hell. But now they're over, and I think I did rather well. I'm not sweating it. Right now I'm just thinking of some good-old band names.


My Current Winning List:


Close But No Cigar
The Jig's Up!
In Like Flynn


...And that's it. Happy joy-joy. Night' guys. :]

I smell sex and candy

"Like disco superfly"

Hangin' round downtown by myself

And I had so much time

To sit and think about myself

And then there she was

Like double cherry pie

Yeah there she was

Like disco superfly

I smell sex and candy here

Who's that lounging in my chair

Who's that casting devious stares

In my direction

Mama this surely is a dream

Hangin' round downtown by myself

And I had too much caffeine

And I was thinkin' 'bout myself

And then there she was

In platform double suede

Yeah there she was

Like disco lemonade

I smell sex and candy here

Who's that lounging in my chair

Who's that casting devious stares

In my direction

Mama this surely is a dream

Mama this surely is a dream

I smell sex and candy here

Who's that lounging in my chair

Who's that casting devious stares

In my direction

Mama this surely is a dream

Mama this surely is a dream

Yeah mama this must be my dream

The end of the week.

Fact: My weekend went swimmingly well.

I got tons of stuff done. I learned new chords in le guitar on Saturday, saw Watchmen right after (And might I add, that movie was orgasmic), took a test for Sylvan, watched another movie about spies and CIA agents, studied for a test, watched Taken in DVD, and ended the day passed out on my sister's bed. It was near-perfect Saturday. Close, but no cigar.
On Sunday, I had a "me" day. Where everything was catered to and for the service of moi.
Haha, I pampered myself endlessly until my skin literally glowed like I just chewed glowbugs out of a vending machine. Seriously. Rad weekend.
In fact, I feel so great, I think I'm going to throw myself on Pete Wentz look-alike now.

Arrivederci!

Bum Tuesday.

Yesterday was my mom's birthday. Happy birthday, mom! We'll all pretend it's your 30th instead of that other 2-digit number. We went to Chili's, which was rather nice.
I'm pretty sure there's a requirement to be gorgeous if you want to waitress there. Just an observation.

The carnival was alright, by the way. We had fun, we danced, we played charades. The weekend was great, but I got into a fight with Breanna that pretty much bugged me all night. I don't really like getting into details about her, she is honestly not worth the drama. No one is. I think, from now one, I'm dropping out of every single fight I'm in. I'm not angry, I'm not holding a grudge. If you're going to be an asshole, it shows what you are. Now that that's settled, I'd like to go ahead and sulk.
I'm literally in so many disagreements with people it's a wonder how I don't get jumped every waking moment of my life. It's fine, though.
I'm fine. Just [Tired].

Really.

My heart

Sometimes I like to imagine that

I exist in a world where no one

thinks I belong. A place that

dislikes me for who I am.

A paradox of a universe that

disregards nearly everything

I stand for, and outcasts me

so that I no longer hold a

voice that matters.

In that world people

are like animals.

Everybody.

but see, no

one knows

it, but

so am I.

i am

an

animal.

One that grows and fights

its way into the brinks of the wise

but lets it fall over with buttered fingers

Falling down, and down to the base

of the river. A river filled with my lost

hopes and admirations, polluted with my

greed and anger. But It's the river that I drink from

I like to remember my mistakes so that I can move

on, and become a better person.

But it's never so easy.

because my river

falls into a

waterfall

and I spill

every

thing.

So now...I start over again.

We all have to.
