...is giving my mind a nice long jog for words. I'm writing things I haven't had the time to think harder for because of this luxuriously empty break that's leaving me nothing else to think of. I'm drawing lots more, though I don't post everything, but I still feel like I should be doing even more. :/ I have tons of ideas, but the execution is so terrible and unlike the way I imagined that I'm being discouraged,,and I don't work on it enough to see it turn into something better. If only I didn't sleep 12 hours each day...but it feels too nice. I'm dreaming things that make complete sense until I wake up. Just today I dreamed that I'd gone on winter break two weeks earlier than the district dictated, and my teachers were punishing me by giving me Fs for the semester. I even saw my pre-calc 1 teacher in there, holy moly. But yeah. Just a random update on a website I doubt anyone visits. Ah well. :>
No, my writing is NOT in here, in fact I just found out about this today through Facebook ads, but this here is my kind of town. Facebook ads is how I discover mostly everything these days.. Please read with reckless abandon. I dare you. :P 1. Sammy Keyes never ages. Of course, she is a fictional protagonist in a tweenish mystery series by Wendelin Van Draanen that I've followed since fifth grade, but it was fine when I was thirteen and she was thirteen. Now I'm sixteen and she's still thirteen years old. I have a feeling it just won't work out between us. 2. All this REM rebound I'm getting from this truckload of sleeping in is giving me the weirdest, most varied dreams that I keep waking up in the middle of. I'm hopping from armored helmet spiders to my eighth grade English teacher to something about shelves to a guy who shouldn't be there at all to fashion design and designing websites. Speaking of Psych-y things, I find myself thinking back on things I've thought about, and when I get to the good memories I'm asking myself "did it really happen or did I make this up too?" 3. Three words that'll give you a general idea: "SATs","Terrible", "BAD". 4. A parody of the last line of the "I'm A Little Teapot" tune: "Here is my fist and Iwillknockyouout" :D My friends are funny. 5. There's a 90s song that keeps floating in and out of my head.. A little Googling, copy/paste, and extraneous-code deleting did the trick. It's called "Blue" by Eifel 65. You might recognize it :) M83 - "Graveyard Girl"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gY8iy8S0S4w M83 - "We Own The Sky" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bzge5vY72hE There. The first day back from a week without touching my laptop, and I discover M83, a lovely French electronic pop band through a Babelgum link. For every hundred dime-a-dozen bands, you get one good one. :) In lieu of the usual festivities of Thanksgiving day, I (in sequential order, or close to): -- finished a drawing I began on the 24th, inked and colored -- did math homework -- was disappointed when I found out the relatives I haven't seen in about four years and who were supposed to show up had their car broken down in the middle of getting here and turned back the way they came -- read Love In The Time of Cholera, which gets better and better -- absorbed two of three discs of Electric Light Orchestra's Flashback album -- watched Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore sway to "Unchained Melody" in the movie "Ghosts", and Whoopie Goldberg is GOLD -- died when I saw and heard Paul McCartney and Billy Joel duet to "I Saw Her Standing There" in McCartney's Good Evening New York City on TV (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QoPvVEOxn_s) -- laughed at the news reporter labeling the reality TV stars who crashed an invite-only White House dinner "wannabes" -- had post-post-dinner Mio noodles, after which I took a nap at 12:15am that eventually became sleep. I was dipped into a paradise of persimmony hearts this weekend. :) Band concert is this Friday! And full orch next Thursday, I believe.. much ado this half-month. And! Come winter break, Rock Band can finally be opened! It's been collecting dust in the basement since school started, waiting patiently for us to break open its lovely Rock Band-y box after nearly a semester of drooled-over homeworking nights. Only a moment more, my beautyyyy.... I have a burning need to write something that'll knock everybody off their feet, I always do. It's fueled by what little sleep I have and the little monster in the back of my head whose mouth is wide open but nothing's coming out. Sadly, I have no time and barely any inspiration, save a few lines here and there. Forcing words to let loose from my pen will only make it worse. In the meantime, I shall immerse myself in Tower of Power, Train, Beatles, Billy Joel, Goo Goo Dolls, Passion Pit, and Stevie Wonder. Also, Josh Kelley's For The Ride Home (2003) album goes down like yummy caramel mocha. I'm counting down to the release of 30 Seconds to Mars' third album This Is War on December 8, after a torturous, grueling wait of over four years. Definitely buying it as soon as it comes out, because my expectations say 'twill be the greatest. Though regretfully, 30stm's lead singer Jared Leto's hair has reverted back to the way it was from the 90s, only with a whole lot more volume.. ah, well.
Recently I bamboozled a precalc test and simultaneously lost 45 points out of 90 for homework, due to my constant bumbling forgetfulness, which I've repeatedly kicked myself in the head for, and quite possibly I've failed a psych test as well. They should officially name forgetfulness a sickness, because I have an incurable case of it.. and I'm only sixteen! Since I consider studying for APUSH and Chinese, finishing and tightening up the creative writing for Comedy&Satire, a math assignment, and practicing my horn as a slight homework load, I'll use the extra time to catch up on Love In The Time of Cholera this weekend. SATs coming up in December, oh my dear. Ahh, the music of Phantom of the Opera! "Masquerade" is delicious! |
