mood: sore
music: Barenaked Ladies - Baby Seat
Today I went down to Boston with Stacie, Jen, and Stacie's mom. We watched this really cool street performer from Australia juggle cleavers while standing on a pole that was being held up by 4 guys from the crowd. It was cool. We also got our nails done for free at this Avon thingy. Then we headed over to the Hatch Shell to see Less Than Jake. The barrier was really far back from the stage which was dumb. We ended up like 4 or 5 people back from the barricade so it wasn't that bad. It was wicked hot though and at least 5 crowd-surfers fell on me. We moved out of the spot we were in a went over to a spot where there was actually breathing room. Then we went over to the Strawberry's tent where they said they'd be signing autographs after the show. So, we stood in line and watched the rest of their set from there. We were like the 5th or 6th group of people in line which was cool. All these assholes kept trying to cut in from the sides. It pissed me off. After their set, they eventually made their way over to the tent and started signing autographs. It was kind of rushed. I asked Roger for a hug and he said sure. That made me happy. His hair is rough lol. After we got all their autographs we took the train back to where the car was parked and drove home. My mom picked me up at Shaw's, we dropped my camera off at CVS, and then we went to Wendy's for dinner. We went to pick the pictures up about a half hour ago. They came out pretty good for a disposable camera. I'm so warn out right now. Besides that and the fact that all these people fell on me, it was awesome. It was my 2nd time seeing LTJ, and this time was better than the 1st.

Urgh.. I'm tired and I don't feel good. My throat is killing me. It's really sore. My head is pretty warm too.. don't know if I have a fever or not. I wouldn't be surprised. My body likes getting sick before I go to shows. I wasn't feeling good at all the day of the Level 27 Fest, I threw up like 20 times the day of Ozzfest, and I'm going to the LTJ show tomorrow. It sucks.

School was okay today. I didn't have Social Studies which made it better. Science was boring. Mr. Rand is short. I saw Alex in the hall today and he still didn't say anything to me which made me sad.
People are so dumb sometimes. I heard Josh tell someone on the bus that Tom Cafferty is a goth. That made me laugh. Just because someone wears black they aren't automatically a goth.
Less Than Jake/Big D & The Kids Table show tomorrow. It should be fun.
I'm not going to school Monday which makes me happy. I get a three day weekend. My cluster is going to Camp Mi-Te-Na to do some stupid shit with ropes or something. I don't want to go and my mom thinks it dumb if she pays $36 for me to go and I don't do anything. The bus also doesn't get back to the school until like after 6. That would suck. It doesn't affect me though.. cause I'll be at home sleeping or something.

music: Paul Simon - You Can Call Me Al
Changed all my icons. Check 'em out. They're pretty.
Hammie's giving me all the change she has tomorrow. yay! ... I think I'm too desperate for money now that it's becoming sad. Oh well... the more change the better.
I don't think I'm going to school tomorrow. I have my brother on my side. My mom told him about how you have to pay to go to Mi-Te-Na now and he said "just let her stay home". That makes me happy. My brother can be cool sometimes. I hope I can stay home. If I find a bass at the flea market I can attempt to play it Monday. lol.. If I can memorize the chords it shouldn't be too hard.. hopefully. Basses make cool sounds. "You Can Call Me Al" has a cool bass solo in it. It's short, but at least there is one. Not many songs have bass solos. Stupid guitars always take the spotlight. Basses are cooler though. All cool people play bass, like Paul from GC and Jeph from The Used. They are both really cool people. Guitar players are usually sexier though, like Billy Martin and Quinn Allman. For some reason I can only think of people from Good Charlotte and The Used right now. I had "Bulimic" stuck in my head all day. On the way home from school I listened to the cd and even skipped that song but it was still stuck in my head.
Jess M. doesn't talk to me anymore. We used to talk all the time last year. This year I think all she said to me was "hey". Kinda like Alex, except Alex still hasn't said one word to me. I'm still sad about that.
Damn, I'm cold. NH sucks ass. It's so cold and gloomy. It makes people depressed. I remember one time I went to Florida and the day we left it was all bright and sunny and warm and when we landed in NH it was cold and dark and rainy. It made me sad. I'd love to live down south somewhere where it's not gloomy.. or maybe in Arizona w/ my cousin Adam and my Aunt Stacie and Uncle Davey. That would rock. Uncle Davey has the best cd collection ever. He has cds by Social Distortion, Blur, Marcy's Playground, Rancid, and a bunch of other awesome bands. I want to steal it.
I need to re-dye my hair. It's fading. It actually looks kinda cool. But I want to re-do the pink. I like pink. Pink is pretty.
This was a really long entry about nothing. That's really pathetic. I need a life.. and a boyfriend. Except for the fact that I never see the person I really like, and no one will ever compare to him. Plus all the guys in my school are not dating material. There's only like 1 or 2 people I would consider going out with. That's very sad, especially seeing there's like a thousand kids at my school.

School sucks.. today was really boring. Alex still isn't talking to me. It makes me sad. I had to interview Stacie today in Language Arts and tonight I have to write a short speech about her. How fun.
I miss Andy. Stacie said she saw him walking the other day and he had pink hair. I want to see that. He never had it pink before. Very sexy.
I'm so happy tomorrow is Friday. Saturday I'm going to the free Less Than Jake/Big D & The Kid's Table show with Stacie and Jen. Sunday if the weather's good I might go to the flea market with my mom. I'm hoping I can find a used bass for $10 like Ginny did. lol... I would be able to afford that by Sunday because my mom is giving me a couple dollars and I get allowance tomorrow. yay!
My mom booked us a hotel for the concert down in Amherst. The hotel we're going to stay at only has 20 rooms. That's kinda strange. Oh well. The hotel is less than a mile from UMass so we can walk to the concert. The traffic down there will probably be insane because there'll be all the concert goers, the people from the convention that'll be going on, and probably some college students, so walking is good.

Yay! I'm so happy. I just told my mom how I wanted to re-do my room and she said I could. I want to leave my walls white, but trim them red (I'm painting my ceiling fan too). Then I'm going to get some black dressers so they actually go with my wall, unlike the dressers I have now. I also get to order this: http://wakeupfrankie.com/categoryDetail.cfm?id=47 from Wake Up, Frankie!. It's like $79, but I looked at plain black comforters in the store and they were $50 so it's actually not that bad. Maybe I'll finally like my room.

Basses and Fests and Hot Guys Who Act Like Brett

mood: blah
music: Billy Talent - Try Honesty (love this band!)
I'm angry at Ginny (not really but that's ok). We were talking in Algebra today and she mentioned something about her guitar. I was like "You have a guitar?" and she said "yeah, a bass guitar" and then Jen started laughing cause she knows I'm so desperate for a bass that I pick up pennies on the street. What really made me jealous was that she only paid $10 for the bass at a yard sale. =-/ We said it was even though because she has a bass and I don't but I went to Ozzfest and she didn't. lol, so it's fair. I'm still jealous though =-).
She said when she went to get the bass fixed up and stuff the guy who fixed it was really hot and he acted like Brett. Anyway, she said he told her he went to Ozzfest and when everyone had their "devil horns" in the air they were all moving them in sync. I don't know if he went to the show I went to or the Friday show, but it was like that at mine. It was weird. There were lots of weird things there though, like a 50 year old guy rocking out to Disturbed....

music: Story Of The Year - Until The Day I Die
I have "Maybe Memories" by The Used stuck in my head.. I was listening to it on the bus ride home. At least I don't have some retarded catchy pop song stuck in my head. Those get annoying after a few minutes. There isn't a Used song I don't like. I actually think I like them more than GC now. Whenever I listen to GC I always skip some songs, but I can never skip any Used songs. Oh well
Today went by kinda slow, but it was okay. Stacie, Hammie, and Hannah are in all my regular classes so it's fun. Ginny's in my computer class which makes that class better. Alex doesn't talk to me anymore. It makes me sad. He used to talk to me and Stacie all the time in Spanish. Now he's not in our cluster and he just ignores us. Stacie said he thinks he's too good for us now. he still talks to Alyssa which pisses me off so much cause she's a total bitch and Alex is like the nicest guy you will ever meet. I'm just sad he doesn't talk to me anymore. I only have one of the four guys that used to make Spanish fun in my class again this year, which is Brett. Brett's okay, but Alex sat near me and Stacie and talked to us more... and the three of us had a twiggle club (don't ask.)
I'm going down to Boston on Saturday with Stacie and Jen. Stacie's mom is taking us and we're going to see a free show at the Hatch Shell with Less Than Jake and Big D & The Kid's Table. Can't wait for that. I also might be seeing GC twice in October - the 10th and the 12th. My mom is taking me and Jen to the show in Amherst on the 10th and Jen's mom might be taking her sister's to the show in Lowell on the 12th and she said we can tag along. yay! we figured we might as well go because GC will be recording their new cd soon so we probably won't be seeing them live again until Warped next summer.

Urgh.. school tomorrow. It sucks already. I weighed my bag today and it weighed almost 17 pounds and I didn't even bring home all my books to cover. Only 178 days left. =-/
My stomach muscles hurt really bad when I move right now. Last night I worked out for about an hour. Now I'm sore. Oh well.
Today I went to the mall with my mom to return some stuff. I got some pants from Filene's and on the way home we stopped at Macy's and I got a plain black t-shirt for like 4 bucks.
While I was in Hot Topic, GC "Hold On" came on. It made me happy. The lady who helped my mom at the register had a picture of Billy on her laminate thingy. It was a very sexy picture of him.
My mom and brother had steak for dinner tonight. ew. My mom let me have a garden burger instead. It was really good.
There's only like 38 days until the GC concert. I can't wait.

Joel left a message on GC's website that was really sweet. It made me happy:
Thanx Everyone.

Posted: 8.29.2003

We just wanted to say thanx to everyone for voting us for viewers choice at the vma's. We really didn't expect to walk away with anything, and you guys gave us an award. Thank you so much for everything. we really believe we have the coolest fans in the world. We love you guys, and we hope we can continure to make you proud to be a part of GC.
Joel, and the guys.

I think it's cool that they still post messages even though they're now big VMA winners. lol
Anyway, today I woke about at about 10. I watched tv then listen to The Used. Later I'm going to the mall with my mom probably because she has to return some stuff. I was supposed to get a cd sampler from Best Buy because I bought the Vendetta Red CD. They didn't give me one when I bought it, so I had to go get it and they gave me the wrong one PLUS it didn't even work.
Saved By The Bell is on DVD now. That makes me so happy. There were petitions going around online to get SbtB put on DVD with thousands of signatures so maybe that had something to do with it. They have seasons 1 and 2 and they're like $37 each, so I'll ask for them for Christmas. =-)

Today I went out with my dad and Jen. We stopped in Newbury Comics so Jen could look at shirts. She ended up with a Nightmare Before Christmas one. It's really cool. My dad bought me Revolver with Davey Havok, Kris Roe, and Tim Armstrong on the cover. It has an interview with Bert McCracken that makes me happy. There's a poster in the middle with Bert, Kris, Davey, Tim, Al Barr, Pierre Bouvier, and Daryl Palumbo all standing together. It's very sexy. There's also a one page add for Level 27 Clothing. I want to have Billy sign it. it would look really cool.
After Newbury Comics we went to see Pirates of the Caribbean. It was a really good movie. Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom are really talented actors. After the movie we went to Friendly's. I got shrimp w/ cocktail sauce, french fries, and coleslaw. It was good. Then we went to Best Buy before we came home. I'm really tired now. I'll be going to the mall again tomorrow w/ my mom so hopefully I'll get something. =-)
Today's bass fund total: $2.91.. I found lots of pennies in the parking lot at Newbury Comics. lol

School sucked yesterday. It was so freaking boring. Plus, I have all my main classes with Andreas, one of the most annoying people EVER. It's gonna be a l-o-n-g quarter. After school Jen took my bus home and we went online for a while then we picked up Stacie and met Jae and Chelsea at the Bedford Mall. We went to Papa Gino's for some pizza then went to see Grind. Adam Brody is so friggin sexy. =-)
When I got home, I watched the VMAs. A lot of untalented people won. The only people I think deserved the awards they got were Good Charlotte, Coldplay, Eminem, and AFI. I was so happy GC won Viewer's Choice. They deserved it more than anyone. I knew they'd win. MTV has some geniuses working for them. The retards switched GC's % with Kelly Clarkson's % when they showed the results at the bottom of the screen during the show. smart. Anyway, Bam Margera and Tony Hawk did the intro to GC's performance. Bam looked wicked hot, as always. Davey looked sexy too when AFI got the MTV2 award. I thought it was sweet when GC won Viewer's Choice and Linzi and Billy were hugging and stuff. They all looked so excited and happy to win. R.I.P. Paul's grandpa

music: Grandmaster Flash - The Message
Urgh, today was the first day of school. only 179 days left in that hell they call MMS. School sucks. Today was so friggin boring. The good thing is that most of my friends are in my cluster: Jen, Stacie, Christina, Amber, Cat, Kacie, Hammie, Hannah, Jess C., Jess M., Nicoya, Bryan, Brett and a bunch more. Jen, Ginny, Kacie, Cat, Hammie, Hannah, Nicoya, and Jess C. are all in my homeroom which makes me happy. But anyway, school DRAGGED today. We didn't do anything except visit our teachers, go to our special study class, go outside for a cluster meeting, and then at the end of the day we got to visit with each other. It was so boring. Another thing that sucks is the bus. There's like 10 little 6th graders on it this year. It's crazy. I was supposed to have some book receipts signed by my mom for tomorrow... I'll just tell them she was busy and couldn't get around to it because she has a life, even though she had time tonight and I just left them in my locker.

The highlight of my day happened when I came home and got the mail. The GC tickets arrived in the mail today. It made me happy. I can't wait.. I also found out that my school doesn't have school on the day of the show, so me and Jen won't have to leave early. We're probably going to go down that morning and walk around the place and try to find the buses or someone who can help us meet the band. It's our goal. It probably won't happen, but It's worth a shot.
I started my bass guitar fund today. I have a little coffee can where I put my extra change or money people give me. Eventually I'll have enough money for a used bass. So now at the end of all my entries I'll have a money update...
Today's total: $2.31

Then I came home. I don't want to go to school tomorrow... I think my old school went back to school today. We go back for 2 days then have 4 days off, so we should have just waited until next Tuesday to go back. I won't be able to wake up tomorrow morning. =-/

*watched my uncles attempt to get Davey's bike on the moving truck. It was funny because the bike was too long to turn so they had to take parts off and deflate the tires and it was like 90 degrees outside.
*saw my Uncle Davey's new tattoo. It's like Mount Rushmore, but instead of the presidents there's cartoon characters: Bullwinkle, Pooh, and Curious George.
*ate dinner at my cousin's house with: Aunt Karen, Uncle Drew, Uncle Davey, my dad, Shane, Drew, and John
*Adam got arrested
*highlight of the day: me, Shane, Drew, and John were watching music videos. Queens of the Stoneage's video came on for "No One Knows".

Jen slept over last night and we went to Hampton Beach today. We just walked around and looked at the shops. There's this really cool rock store there. I had no money, so my mom bought me stuff. lol. I got - 2 pins: Stiff Little Fingers and The Ramones, and 2 live cds - Korn "Wicked and Twisted" and Nirvana "The Needle & The Damage Done: Outcesticide 2". The cds are weird because the covers are made of regular paper and the pictures were printed and the labels on the cd are from one of those cd label things you can buy, but they're cool.
My mom surprised me and Jen and bought us tickets to the Good Charlotte concert in Amherst, MA. We have good seats. We're in row 14 right on the side of the stage. 14 rows back is really good, especially for popular band like GC that sells out shows. I'm so happy though. My mom rocks.
