  • Two years ago

    Oh my. I never imagined I would be wandering back to the good old Xanga. I changed all of entries from private to public about a year ago for nostalgia purposes. How strange it is to see how I felt and my interests so many years ago.

    I am dissatisfied with Facebook's "note" system. I can't post pictures when and where I like. So I suppose I might blog here from time to time. I might not. However, I like that I have the option.

  • Oh, Xanga...

    You hold such wonderful memories. Did you know that your very first entry was on June 20th of '05? I don't think I could ever shut you down. I have such odd, boring, moody, and/or intelligent posts in this corner of the web.

    As of now, I am leaving you for MySpace. But, please, understand that it wasn't you that drove me away. It's just that... no one wanted you anymore! They've all moved on to bigger, better things -- and I feel that I should too.

    You'll always be my favorite blog.

    Fondest wishes, and the best of luck

  • Well. I don't quite know how to explain this day.

    If you know me well, then you've probably already heard of it. If not, then you more than likely will eventually.

    Nothing's set in stone about the current situation. I'm either in for a huge change, or the same old thing.

    How do I explain my feelings at this present moment?

    I guess one phrase truly comes to mind: rolling with it.

    I'm sure you've heard me refer to this often during emotional times. "Gotta roll with it." Because that's what I do.

    There's no ifs, ands, or buts. There's no looking back and saying "What if I'd done this differently..." Woulda, shoulda, coulda. It doesn't matter now. You can't control the future -- you can't change the past.

    That is why I roll with it. Sit back, and take things as they come. Whatever happens -- happens.

    I do, however, extend a warm thanks to Amber and Erica. They were, as always, there during my darkest hour. I made a call to Erica and I could barely talk, and she consoled me. Later on, Amber called me, worried, and wondering how I was. I've said it a million times before -- but I love you guys. Times like these really make our friendship shine.

    I'm cleaning, but decided to stop and write this for whatever reason. I guess I don't want people freaking out, thinking I'm tearing up inside but just not saying it.

    Yes, I'm a little bothered. But, as of now, I'm pretty okay about things. Earlier today I was distraught. And now? ... Oddly calm. Accepting of whatever may come from this.

    I'm rolling with it.
    So fasten your seatbelts, sit back -- and relax.
    We'll see where we end up.

  • Edit://

    http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?z=y&EAN=9780385339414&itm=1
    "Hannibal Rising"

    I'm terribly excited. You have no idea! I was excited when I heard about it Sophmore year. Yessss.

    And my dress came in. It's awesome.

    //END EDIT//

    New layout.
    What can I say? I'm in a King Kong mood.

    Not sure what to report on. Things are still going pretty good.

    And, believe it or not(!), I'm actually growing fond of Shakespeare. Macbeth is pretty good, I must say. Makes me want to reread Hamlet. And maybe actually read Romeo and Juliet.

    On Friday, Amanda and I went to see the Black Dahlia.


    I'm rather undecided about it. I liked parts, but disliked others. The whole setting was pretty great. And the narration was awesome, too. It really gave the feel of an old, hard-boiled noir movie. (Which is always a plus to me) Overall, it just wasn't what I was expecting. I was expecting a murder mystery, but instead I got a lot of a character story. Maybe I'll give it another try when it comes out on DVD.

    I really did like the narration though. I really, really did.

    Aaand, I got a homecoming dress. The picture is shitty. I actually tried finding a better one, but no luck:



    (Ugh, I really hate this new image thing Xanga has going on.)
    Anyway, it's a good thing I found a dress. I looked in a bunch of different stores but couldn't find any. So I Ebayed it. I feel so high-tech.


    Aww, I like this video.
    Too bad the lead singer dies. Death may not stop ghosts or Ra's Al Ghul, but it sure stops rockstars.
    Anyway.

    I need an opinon:
    Should I bring back my Seven Reasons ___ is Bitchin'?
    If so, are there any movies you'd like to see me touch on?

    Hmm, this is a rather short post. Soo, perhaps I'll edit tomorrow. Perhaps I won't.

  • Guess what? I'm updating from MY COMPUTER! Isn't that exciting?
    Well, it is for me.

    So, if you like, know me at all, then you know of my recent Jekyll and Hyde interest. And I finally found a YouTube clip of my favorite song. Which was, uh, not what I expected.
    Brad Little (who played a Phantom!) plays Jekyll/Hyde (Hyde, in this video). This guy freakings means what he sings! I envision him as the voice of God, because, frankly, there's power in those vocal cords.
    And Lucy (his lady friend) makes an ugly face throughout the entire video. Way to be immortalized.

    Owen Wilson put it best when he made this face:

    Aaah, Owen, me and you have such chemistry. We both had the same reaction and everything!

    What else?
    Hmm.
    Last weekend I got FIVE boxsets. How I managed that, I don't know.
    Rescue Me season one
    House season two
    Charmed season four and five
    Veronica Mars season one

    Of course, Charmed and Veronica Mars was only $20 because of this awesome sale at Best Buy. I really think I should marry into the Mr. Best Buy family. Because, well, not only are they rich, they have, like, everything I want at their stores. The latter doesn't make much sense, but it sounds great in my head.

    On another note, Veronica Mars is surprisingly good. When it first came on, I just figured it was some teeny show that wouldn't last, or I wouldn't like. But, no, it's actually really good. It's like a throwback to old noir and mystery, mixed in with some new age things. Good stuff.

    I have a new graphic idea itching to come out, but alas, no artistic inspiration. Such a shame. This absence from Photoshop has thrown me all out of whack.

    Surprisingly, things have been going really well. Sure, there's been a bump in the road here and there, but everything has been good. Nothing too bad. School has been good, which is always a big, big plus. So stay cool, school. Don't go all mathlete on me. Or sucklete, or whatever.

    I haven't even gotten my Yearbook picture yet! I'm freaking out just a tad. And I haven't even begun to think about my senior pictures. Or my class ring. Or the millions of clubs to join. I'm pretty out of it this year. Very laid-back. Although, I still make sure to do my homework and the like, so grades are looking good.

    And I have two Fitness classes. Yes, two. One with Germann, the other with Gifford. I get a good amount of exercise between the two, and that actually makes me kind of happy.

    Oh, September 26th:
    Beowulf and Grendel comes out.
    Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
    And I'm terribly excited. We just read the story in English World Lit A, and I'm especially curious now. I saw Beowulf as a romantic hero, because, well, he kind of was. And I like the idea of the wonderfully sexy Gerard Butler fitting my romantic hero vision.

    Ahhh. I need a moment with my vision.
    Sept. 26th. Yesss.

    And, while on the subject of Gerry --
    300 is wrapping up, I do believe.
    Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
    It's images like these that REALLY make me want to see the movie. Gerry half naked and fighting brutishly? Bring it on!

    Oh, and there's the awesome fact that it's Frank Miller's 300. Frank Miller, like, Sin City. And Batman: Year One.

    I'm convinced that GB.net is trying to keep me away from their pictures. It took me like ten minutes just to get those two! They're clearly plotting against me, because they know I have GB on the brain.

    Hm.
    Ta-ta.
