How many times did I say that last night? Jeez, I never knew I was a sporadic dancer, it didn't help that Niki was being so stiff and letting me drag her hands every which way. Yesterday was the Homecoming Dance and let's just say there was some unintentional inappropriate touching going on. I was probably making Niki so uncomfortable...and she probably thinks I'm gay or something, though maybe bi would be more understandable. What can I say? I was having fun and Niki let me wave her arms everywhere. I'm a spaz when it comes to music with a catchy beat. Put it together and whaddya got? Bibbidy Bobbidy Accidental hip touches, boob brushes, and elbow punching. That's right fairy godmother, no magic involved at all. Oh well, I had fun and my feet hurt afterword so I guess I danced enough for one night. That's all that matters.
By the way, Dad is showing me weird things from his childhood...funny things, but very weird things none the less.
You are a fluke of the universe. You have no right to be here, and whether you can hear it or not, the universe is laughing behind your back. (I love that song...it's so true XD)

The Man of the Red
In the cold autumnal day
The sun shines bright.
The wind blows softly
Through shedding trees
With not a cloud in the sky.
The rustling of leaves
Across sparsely covered earth
Whispers like a child
To the Man of the Red
As he sits, still waiting,
To hear those words
One longs to hear.
Against a stone upon the hill,
The Red Man sits
With eyes to the sky
And a hand to his chest,
Wishing, waiting,
For his love to return.
Inspiration strikes at shower time! Ugh...I wish I could add more to it, but I need to figure out how I would phrase it and stuff like that so I might rewrite it or something...maybe. I might make little tweaks later with small words if I feel like it.

Ummm...
First of all, HAPPY B-DAY DAD! WOOT! 43 years old and still kicking and bitching about the world, but I wouldn't expect anything less from the guy.
Second of all, I haven't been to the movie theater in a few weeks and I just went back today (I'm avoiding the Clarion theater because of Dylan and his antics...shudder). I saw RED today and I didn't really like it all that much...it had so many things that were so fake and unbelievable...and of course it glorified old people (for some reason I don't like old people very much...probably because a lot of the ones I know are so annoying and just plain jerks...Except Josephine, she's so sweet) A major scene that I have a beef with is when they're trying to break into the CIA vault thing and the guy drops his contact with the code for the retina scanner on the floor. The girl is searching for it and everything and the timer runs out and all these police guys show up. The girls says they're looking for his contact to complete the scan. At this point I was thinking this would never work because it's illegal and totally obvious that you're trying to break in when you need a contact lens to pass a retinal scan. But of course, the cops are none the wiser. There are other scenes that don't make any logical sense too, but that one really bugged me. I really don't like the black-haired girl in the movie. She's annoying and pointless unless she's been taken hostage...which is all she's good for. She really didn't even have to be in the movie at all and i doubt she would have been if the lead guy wasn't super paranoid and had to kidnap her when she wouldn't have been looked at twice had he left her alone. SIGH, but that's movie logic for you.
Third of all, I went to a corn maze last night and I had a lot of fun! There was a clue game where the farmer was killed by one of his farm animals that we had to figure out by going through the maze. It turned out to be the pig at the haystack with the pipe wrench. I'm telling you though, the llama looked way more suspicious than the pig. Faith was convinced it was the chickens and Jordan thought it was the goat. Jordan and I went through the haunted maze when it was dark out. We waited about an hour in line and it only took about 12 minutes to get through the maze. The bad part was that the people running the maze wanted to get through as many people as possible before they had to close so they were letting large groups in at a time. It's not as scary when you see people jump out and scare the group in front of you and then try to jump out at you five seconds later. I enjoyed it though. They had a spinning room that was just like the worm hole tunnel at Ripley's in New York. There was also this room that you had to push the walls out because they kept sucking close to your body...that room had some many names (the vagina room, the asshole room,etc...) I really liked it, even though I inhaled a lot of smoke and either my left lung or my left ribs were hurting at the end of the day and this morning...in fact they still kind of hurt.
Long post is LOOOOOOONNNNNG!
See ya :)

SCREAM
AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!.....teehee!
Classic cartoons are awesome, especially 90s cartoons. So much better than the crap we have right now, though there are some good ones around now and then. They don't have the same feel of those old cartoons that just made fun of everything without the fear of getting pulled off the air. They could even be educational too. Take Animaniacs for example. I love that show and I was so sad when the guy who wrote the songs died. That show helped me through my capital test in 5th grade. So many pokes at Disney and the Government floating around...it was awesome, still is. You had to wonder, though, if the makers were on crack when they made the cartoons seeing as how messed up and wacky they are...but that's what made them so fun in the first place :)
Phew! I went through that whole post without mentioning Candlejack! Thank goodness! I wonder if he ever got enough ro

PSAT...ugh
I took the PSAT test today and it really wasn't all that bad. I don't think I left a single answer blank even though I guessed on quite a few of them, mainly math beacuse I was either brain farting or I hadn't learned to do the actual problem yet. I found the writing to be pretty easy though, so I guess that's good. My main problem wasn't with the test itself, oh no.
It was the room. That room was absolutely freezing and I'm pretty sure most everyone's hands were numb when they were taking the test. During our bathroom break people just let their hands sit under the warm water because it felt so much better than being frozen. Several of us wanted to stay in the bathroom because it was warmer than the Aux. gym. I know I wanted to. The time limits were annoying, but they weren't too bad. I even got three (maybe) chapters of Anna Karenina done in the inbetween breaks...yeah, they're not long chapters and I'm only about 35 pages into the book. I have to keep reminding myself that it's been translated from Russian, so of course it's not going to be perfect grammar and super long discrptive phrases and words...unlike all of the American classics I've been reading.
That reminds me. I read To Kill a Mockingbird recently and I didn't find the book all that depressing. In fact, I haven't really found American literature all that depressing so far, unlike what everyone has been saying. Also, it seems that when other people hate a book we're reading, I end up liking it, point in case: Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Well, Celest liked To Kill a Mockingbird too, so I know I'm not alone there...

Bravi!
WARNING: Crappy pictures, one crudely drawn organ (it's only shown for a second at most), some images are grainy, um...the Genetic Opera?
Song: Bravi!
From: Repo! The Genetic Opera
I won nothing except the pictures and characters used, which happen to be Theo, Andrea, Scott, and Antonio
Um...not much to say on this one, just that it's short and I had a blast making it, especially when the boys sing in falsetto and it sounds terrible XD. Yeah, that's my favorite part.
I'm going to start working on the Bad Touch song soon, so that might be up in a while if you want to wait for that.
I finished working on my part of my English Project and now I'm putting off my math project...why do I have so many projects this year!?

Poor Stacy...
So we had that little festival at our school yesterday with all the different booths and stuff to raise some money for all the different organizations that make up our student body stuff...clubs basically.
We were really hoping for a huge turnout with the townspeople and lots of students coming in...unfortunately, I think there were more staff members than actual customers. I feel more sorry for Stacy than anyone else, I mean she lost a phone because of this stuff and she was under a lot of stress. The weather was absolutely perfect for all the events too (I even got sunburned). I was with Sheetz in the beanbag toss/washer toss/corn hole tournament with the Student Government. I think about five teams signed up for the tournament when we were really hoping for at least ten. At the beanbag toss we got some little kids to play and even some pity money from people we knew. The whole goal of the thing was to get rid of all the left over Santa's Workshop junk and maybe get some more money in the process. That didn't work out so well... It didn't help that someone was always gone from the stand half the time.
It was alright, though, because we got some money. Even though I had to listen to country twang the whole time I was there (I told Jolie to give them her CD and I didn't care if it swore and this was a children's event, I was getting ready to claw my ears off). I left at Four because we weren't getting any more customers and everybody else had already left.
Oh well. We got some money, that's what matters.

She's a witch!!!!!
Burn her! Burn her!
I cannot tell you how pathetic the elections are this time around. I'm really starting to believe that it's Fear and Hate that runs this country after all. It's so sad what's going on right now, what with all the nut jobs actually being voted for. Maybe Americans are bored and we want to see some crazy people in the Senate just for the hell of it? That's what it's looking like anyway.
What I don't get is why the Tea Party isn't it's own party like the Republicans and the Democrats. It seems like the Republicans may be starting to regret riding the Tea Party wave seeing as they've gotten out of control and the whole Republican party is being judged because of these idiots who talk too loud for their own good. It's very frustrating to see these people actually leading in their races.
But what I really can't stand is the massive hatred towards Muslims and Homosexuals. This country is supposed to be the Land of the FREE, not the paranoid and cracked. I find it so hypocritical that the U.S., being the Land of the Free and all, is usually one of the last to dispose of prejudices. Look at how long it took us to abolish slavery and that required a war, for goodness sake! And there's still an unhealthy amount of Racism floating around in people's shadows, hidden away.
And if I must say something, I'll say this: OBAMA IS NOT THE WORST PRESIDENT WE'VE EVER HAD. Look in a damn history book and I'm sure you'll find much worse leaders. I think the only reason Obama isn't making any headway with his policies is because he's being fought tooth and nail every step of the way, mainly because people are to afraid to change, even though that's what we wanted when Obama won. This country is filled with Racists and thick-headed people who are driven by their own fears.
Oh and one more thing: Fox News is rarely ever true, do not listen to that biased channel full of idiots.
This country needs a slap in the face to wake up and fix all the crap going on. We need to restore Sanity...hmmm, where have I heard that before?

Wow...
It's been awhile since I last posted something huh? Sorry...I guess. I've been preoccupied as of late with some issues I may or may not disclose in the future. And by issues, I mean I'm slowly beginning to discover how my mind works...better late than never huh? I'm discovering new things about my family too, particularly about my dad and my brother and the complex relationship they have going on at the moment.
Let's move on shall we? One of my cats bumped into my bookcase and tumbled my clock right from the shelf! That $3 clock broke instantly, glass went everywhere and all the hands popped off. I find my room all too quiet without that constant ticking in the background. I'm even dreaming less, which I find odd. No one or thing was damaged on impact, thankfully, Though i have yet to replace the clock with an even cheaper one...because I'm feeling rather poor at the moment.
Why do some authors feel the need to kill off a bunch of characters before the end of the series!? I could name many series where this has occurred, a prime example being Harry Potter, although I can understand those deaths because it was a battle and everything. I just finished a series where one of my most favorite characters died with a bunch of others whose deaths were wholly unnecessary and felt much too rushed and forced. Of course, I'm talking about Finnick from the Hunger Games. I was pretty satisfied with the way the series ended, but all of those deaths at the end just seemed way too rushed...like the author was trying to get rid of them because they couldn't think of what else to do with them. I must say that I love the execution scene with Snow and Coin. I didn't mind Snow as a villain, in fact I was rather liking him close to the end of the series (I know, somethings wrong with me), but the way he planted the idea of the rebels killing Katniss's sister was awesome. That was his shinning moment in my opinion. She ended up killing Coin while Snow died laughing and choking on his own blood. I loved that part. My favorite characters by far were Haymitch, Finnick, and Peeta. Katniss and Gale are rather low on my list of tolerable characters as I found them complete and total hypocrites in most of the things they did and gale basically becoming what he hated.
Sorry, that was a long rant.
I found I have a weird habit of saying As in names like ahs. Point in case: Anna or Ana. I pronounce them Ahhnna. And for Maria, I say Mahria. I don't know anyone else who does this. I just found out when I told dad I was going to read Anna Karenina and I got a strange look. hmm...weird, I think the other way to pronounce it is too nasaly and I don't like how it sounds. Just like it's an unspoken rule for me to make the 'e' in 'the' long when it comes before a word that starts with a vowel. It irritates me when people don't do that because it makes me think they don't know proper grammar when speaking. I'm weird...unless that actually is how you're supposed to talk...then cool.
I'm getting into Clockwork Angel even though I've heard some discouraging things about it. I think my favorite is Jem so far, though I don't know who Tessa will go with and frankly I don't care though I think Will has more of a shot at where I am in the book. I love Jem and Will's Broship! And I'm glad they're not gay because it would have ruined the brotherly feelings they have for each other, I think it would have made it awkward, not to mention Clare had already used that plot point before and it would have gotten repetitive. Yay for brotherly love! I think Clare captured the time period pretty well with the whole mixed feelings of the roles of Women thing going on. It makes it more real and it doesn't bother me at all the way it seemed to bug Jordan. I might have to re-read the original series to remember all the last names being thrown around. I can't wait to read more and I only have less than 200 pages left to go!
Wow, what a long and pointless post! Hee hee, oh well! :P
