Ive missed you, blog. I obviously have commitment issues, if I can keep a blog for more than two weeks. I send my regrets to all of you followers who have been disappointed in my lack of writing. I don't have an excuse for not blogging this week because I have not been very busy. My days have consisted of chores, listening to music and watching TV. I have been on the computer so it is not like I don't have access to my blog. The only thing I can think of that would restrain me from blogging is my lack of inspiration. When you stay inside for a majority of your day, things tend to blur together, and you stop really thinking. The only time I have used my brain is when I was reading, and I finished my book. To make up for this empty week, I will review as in detail as I can.
Sunday: I went to see Inception with my mom, sister, grandma, dear friend/ sister Stacy, and her cousin. The movie was great. I loved how it kept my attention the whole time, but I think people are making it a bigger deal than it needs to be. The acting was well done, but you cant really go wrong with Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Ellen Page in my opinion. Later I met my dad and we retreated to my Nana's. I swam, visited with my family and ate food. It was nice spending time with everyone.
Monday: I did chores out the wazoo and watched some trashy reality TV. Nothing special.
Tuesday: I did more chores and my sister had a friend over.
Oh no! I have to go but I will continue my story later.

My time is a piece of wax

My blogging has been at an all time low. I have only one excuse for my poor behavior. Youth In Revolt. I am reading the popular book, turned movie written by the wondrous C.D Payne. I love his writing style and the characters he created. Nick Twisp/ Francois Dillinger are my new heroes. I watched the movie on Tuesday and liked the story line, so I figured that I would read the book. I did not predict that I would be this enthralled. What intrigued me was how the author would write the dialogue of two characters who are the same person. If you are not familiar with the plot, A meek Nick Twisp is a member of a trashy, bay-area family and goes on a vacation. Meanwhile, he meets the love of his life, Sheeni Saunders. They are separated and he has to 'be bad' in order to see Sheeni again. So does what any love-sick teenager would do and turns 'bad.' Now bookstores all across America are going to have copies of the novel flying off the shelves, with my marvelous review.
Lately, my days have gone like this: Wake up at 9, check out facebook, listen to ska until 1, watch two episodes of Family Guy, then read until 10, watch one hour of trashy reality TV, then read for another hour. Oh, and i occasionally eat a nectarine somewhere in there. Sounds stimulating, doesn't it?!
Well it is.
I came across this one fantastic video while surfing skanking facebook page. It is a cover of the ever popular single- Mad World. The band is a British ska- punk band called King Tuts Revenge. Enjoy folks

There you go. I'm going to go educate myself of the life of Nick Twisp.

Pizza Day

I love The Aquabats. They are the only thing that is making my day some-what decent. Today was an all time low. I could not get to sleep, did an impossible puzzle, and my air conditioning broke. Oh! And I had a driving lesson that went horrible. I hate driving. I just want my independence. My instructor had to keep on the chicken brake almost the whole time. Every single pair of headphones in my house are broken. My best option are some that have one working ear bud. If I'm lucky, when I scrunch my neck both will work. Sorry, but I don't feel like blogging so I will satisfy you with some video's I love

My favorite Streetlight song from their new album

My mellow song.

One of my favorite songs by one of my favorite bands.

A classic.
I have nothing to do, but sit in the heat.

Stuck In My Head

I have had The Supervillians stuck in my head all day. Ive been going crazy, I even started dancing in the salad section of Trader Joe's. I'm sure I got some weird looks then. Oh well, I don't care. I have to say that today sucked. I'm not in a good mood and Fatter Than Albert isn't helping. I stayed inside all day, and when I left I got a headache, and people were bugging me.
There is a fad going on that I feel I need to discuss. Independent yogurt shops. There is cornucopia of Yogurt shops and it seems like they are on every corner. I am all for the small business owner, but get an original idea. You aren't going to stand out and get more business if you blend in wit all of the others. I especially have a problem with the self-serve yogurt shops. The are un-sanitary, the fruit looks old, yogurt dispensers spill everywhere, and people can put their poopy hands in the candy bins. I have counted up to 12 different shops in my area, and I'm sure there are more around. Okay, I got that out of my system.
My other problem with society are illiterate parents. I absolutely hate the odd spelling of names. Adding extra -e at the end of names to replace a -y drives me insane. Also add an extra -n or -r a the end is equally as bad. I understand the desire to be an original, but how about naming your child something different for zest. You're child is going to have to spell their name to people all of their life when you could have spelt it right. Another thing that bothers me is adding -lyn or -ana to a regular name. For example, the name dannilynn brakes many of my rules. They added the -lyn and an extra -n in the middle and end. So for all of you possible parents, do you want to be illiterate by adding unnecessary letters. You look plain stupid. You are not being different. Thanks for listening.
I'm off to go watch trashy TV.

You Never Told Me

My recent blogging history shows that I cant keep promises. Signs point to liar. Sorry, folks I have had a busy few days and Its had to keep up. So I'm now going to say that I want to blog everyday but its not my main priority in life right now, living up my summer is. I will catch all of you up with what has been going on in my recent life. On Sunday, I woke up lazily, meandered down my hall and got some Starbucks. My dad and I did are normal Sunday visit to the used car lot, and this time I drove. It was nerve-racking, but I survived. Its hard for me to tell which one is the gas and which is the break, so I would say I need more practice. Later I went to my cousins house and visited them for my cousin Cameron's birthday. She is turning 12, and I love seeing her grow up. She is too funny and doesn't even know it. Now to the good part, STREETLIGHT MANIFESTO. The best night of my life, without a doubt. It began with being picked up by the group and getting free slurpees. Super delish. Then we began our trip to San Francisco and the ride went by really fast. WE talked ska and other stuff, and before we knew it we were in the city, pulling up to the club. The line to get into Slim's was long, but well worth the wait. We claimed our spot on the left of the stage in the front. I literally had no one in front of me and could sit on the stage. I bought a Dan Potthast Baseball-tee and threw it on instantly. My love, Dan P, came out to tape the set list and he saw me and said, "Hey! Cool shirt" Me, being lame and starstruck couldn't think of anything to say and said, "Yeah!" I just about peed my pants. It was a moment I will never forget. He played amazingly and he and I made eye contact, along with the drummer. After his performance I asked for a picture and he said, "after the show." He never came back, but I am okay with just getting a sentence from him. I will get a picture someday. I took a few pictures of him and his band, so enjoy. Dan P and the bricks drum set Dan P





That ones my favorite. After him was The Wonder Years and they were gross. I hated the lead singer, and couldn't ell one song form another.
The Supervillians were next and they were really good. The drummer was one of the lead vocals, which I dug. They had a few technical problems so they talked to the crowd, and got us into the show more. I got a few pictures of the guitarist.


I loved his dreads and banana tattoo. Although, I would never get them for myself.
So for the big finale, Streetlight Manifesto came on. We just happened to stand right blow where Tom was standing and I got a picture of his holy mic.

He was fantastic, but I wish he interacted with the crowd more. He still looked fantastic. The crowd wanted to come where were standing because that's where Tom was, so we had dweedle dee and dweedle dum ramming into us for a majority of the show. Luckily we had some guys in the group to push them out of the way. It was hard for me to get a picture of them because of the constant movement but I managed to get a few.

Tom

After the show I bought a Streetlight shirt and we headed off. Of coarse we got lost on the way to the free way but we made it. Half-way through we stopped for a pee break and I couldn't help myself and take this picture with Connor.

Well it was the night of a lifetime, as you can tell. I'm off to go bathe my dog or something

Blast!

I forgot to blog yesterday! What has the world come to! OK. I feel like Ive committed some kid of sin, or something. So I suppose my job for today is to make up for my lack of blogging yesterday, and post two today. Class, lets begin by recapping yesterdays festivities. I woke up to the sound of sizzling bacon and once i opened my eyes I found a basket of fruit and fresh home-made crepes. Once I finished my delicious breakfast, I took a nice 6 mile run around my small town and came home exhausted, but awake. Just kidding, I ate a balance bar and watched TV. I ate leftovers for lunch, and once I was done, went to Holly work and organized her new office supplies. The organizing made the day go by fast, so I was home in no time. Wait, the exciting part was that Friday Night Lights was on! Woo!My predictions are that Luke is going to get addicted to prescription pills, Vince is going to go into a life of crime to support his mother, but Jessie's dad is going to try and stop him. Becky is going to ignore Luke as always, and Tim is going to support his brother. I'm not sure if Julie is going to follow the habitat guy, or stay in town. So those are my predictions, we'll see how accurate they are.
Oh! I forgot to mention that I re-dyed my hair pink yesterday, and I love it. I'm still 'dying' (punny) to have permanent pink hair, but I have to pay for it myself, and its not cheap. So my activities for today include going hiking with my dad, having company over, and possibly getting my toes done. Sounds like an action pact day for me. Also, yesterday my sister and I watched Zombieland it was a rad movie. It was the second time I'd seen it, but the first for my sister.I didn't know how she'd handle it, but it went fine. I love all of the characters and the directing of the movie. I think how they pop the rules into the scenes is really creative.
I'm off to go do some manual labor or something.

1903

I almost forget to blog today! I have been so preoccupied with the sun. Today I became friends with joy. I loved today. I am in an enlightened mood right now. Im watching Finding Neverland, and am inspired by the grace of the characters. I guess this mood also comes from the viewing of Coco Before Chanel, last night.
Now to review my day. I got to see by best friend in the whole world today. I miss her so much, and it is a shame that we dont see each other more often. We went to the local waterpark together, along with our sisters, and had a wonderful time. I loved seeing the excitement in my friends faces when falling down the waterslide. I love the feeling you get when you drop down on teh slide, I love how weightless you can feel. It is so freeing.
Today I celebrated my youth.
While veging after the busy day, I watched the most adorable commercial. It was one for target, about how one little thing leads to another, and eventually changes your life. Thats how I think of teh world sometimes. Which can be a good and bad thing. Its horrible when you thing that one measly assinment lesd to your grade, which leads your gpa, which leads to your college application, which leads to your college accpatance, which leads to your job, which leads to your salary, which leads to your retairment, and so on. Its a horrible curse I have.
Last night I had a strange dream. In this dream, I was having a bithday party at a footbell field. They're were many guests but they were all a blur. Only one friend was clear. Everyone was having a good time, but I didnt notice my other guests, only the clear one. After we had all eaten, Everyone stareted running laps. I started skipping, in my normal fashion, and the clear one did too. The clear one fell. The clear one broke into little pieces and the whole time I was trying to save the clear one and no one would help me. Everyone at the party kept doing their buisness, while I was scrambling. In the end I could not save the clear one, and they died.
I dont know what triggered the dream, but I founf it profound enough to record.
On a less bizarre note, 3 days! You should know what Im counting down to.
I better go watch the movie. And.
