Something is wrong with the light of the sun... [08 Jan 2004|02:17am] [ mood | melancholy ] [ music | HEY YA - outkast ] AT JamesB: write them hate emails truexasxfiction: i should...i should tell them how i hate their new look and their new sound and that they're nothing without jason lol Mmmkay maybe not. So, I still love Phantom Planet. I just can't help it. I don't hate their new sound, and their new look is ok. But, let's just say that Amanda and I have been distraught since we heard that Jason left. That's just booboo. Jason was great. But Alexander has the eyebrows. He's got lucious 'brows and he's got that great voice. You know how someone sounds when they're absolutely bored? That's how he sounds. But after a period of mourning for what once was, I suppose it's time to move on. I was out of work again for a week. Yucky sinus infection. I've gotta get it checked on again next Wednesday to see if I have to have a procedure done. I also have an optometry appointment tomorrow. I'm in desperate need of some new eyeglasses. shut your eyes and hear the sea

I'm just looking... [15 Dec 2003|01:05am] [ mood | sore ] [ music | JUST LOOKING - stereophonics ] Well, well, well. Tonight was SO MUCH FUN. I'm just kiddin'. We had the whole restaurant packed just about 30 mins before we closed. Yuck. Sabrina got a tattoo. It looks real good. Omar finally got his tongue pierced. Oh yay! LOTR on Wednesday!!! I'm s'excited. Amanda has a date. Let's all wish her luck. shut your eyes and hear the sea

keep the blood in your head... [11 Dec 2003|01:56am] [ mood | groggy ] [ music | SIC TRANSIT GLORIA...GLORY FADES - brand new ] Today was pretty uneventful. I bought some wrapping paper and stuff. Kim called so Omar and I hung out with her for awhile. She was with this guy named Eddie. He used to date one of my friends in junior high. I didn't think he remembered me 'cause he never says anything when I see him 'round. But we had a lot of fun. He likes some really good music. Well anyway, I changed my layout. The picture in the back looks bad but I don't feel like fixing it. Do you ever type "don'ot" instead of "don't" sometimes? Yeah, I do that often. shut your eyes and hear the sea

Cheep, cheep, cheep... [08 Dec 2003|03:39am] [ mood | amused ] [ music | WEAPON - matthew good ] Okay okay. I know it's been a long time. I was sick for awhile and I was off of work. I guess I should've updated during those few weeks, but I didn't. I've been writing some term papers for people at work for extra Christmas money. I've made a pretty good friend up there. She's freaking hilarious. I think the main reason I adore her so much is because she thinks I'm funny. Today she, Sammy, and I were at IHOP. Sammy ordered the breakfast sampler but he forgot to substitute his eggs. When he got them, the lady was like "You ordered eggs? You don't like eggs? Why not? What'd they ever to do you?!? Did they jump off your plate and say, 'Cheep, cheep, cheep!'" LOL. She didn't get a very big tip. So Christmas is coming up. We had to draw names at work but that ended up being no secret. I think we're gonna have a White Elephant party instead. That should be fun. Anyway, not much else to say. shut your eyes and hear the sea

ruh roh [26 Oct 2003|11:54pm] [ mood | relieved ] [ music | BLUE IN THE FACE - alkaline trio ] Oh, man. We got some new kids at work. Whoo hee. So cute and so very awesome. I finally have some concert buddies. I'm off for the next three days and my final exam is tomorrow. I really need to study. I haven't read the last three chapters. I don't have much else to say. I miss Ally and Andy and Sheph and Krys. I haven't spoken to any of them in so long that I thought it'd be nice to mention the fact that I love 'em to pieces. 1 closed their eyes shut your eyes and hear the sea

hardy har har [04 Oct 2003|12:24am] [ mood | confused ] [ music | THE QUIET THINGS THAT NO ONE EVER KNOWS - brand new ] okay, well where should i begin? it's been so long since i've updated. it's not like much has happened, but still. anyhow, i haven't the slightest idea what to say, so i'll just update when i can. but at least you all know i'm still alive. shut your eyes and hear the sea

Sorry... [27 Aug 2003|11:26pm] [ mood | sad ] [ music | WILD WORLD - cat stevens ] Geez. Sorry I haven't updated lately, for those of you who might actually read this. I've been working a lot and my Medical Terminology class starts this coming Monday. Right now, though, I'm super depressed. I talked to my friend, Eric (see below), on Monday. God, I've missed him. He's really great. I've been kinda sad today cause I didn't get to talk to him. I'm still trying to catch up on what's happened since we last talked, which was about six months ago. I guess I haven't gotten over missing him yet. He's so smart, and so different. He makes me think about things I probably wouldn't normally. He has an extreme way of putting things. I really care about him. It's weird, you know, sometimes I actually love him. I know he's great and all, but I'm still not sure of how well I can trust him. I guess you never know with people, but I get scared sometimes that I let myself care about him too much. Well, after feeling all of that, I called my ex-boyfriend, Mike, just to have someone to talk to. He and I have been really close friends since we broke up, and that was about five years ago. I called and he kinda blew me off, which really made me mad. He said he has a new girlfriend now and he'll call me tomorrow. I wanted to just hang up on him, but that would've been really juvenile. I didn't even want to say anything about how angry I was. I'm not so pissed about his new girlfriend, but just two weeks ago he was telling me how he was so in love with me and crap. It doesn't hurt because I haven't felt that strongly about him in a really long time. It's just the fact of the matter, I guess. I know I shouldn't feel like that, but I do. My mom is going to see my dad tomorrow. It's really strange for me. They divorced when I was young and I haven't had a lot to do with him. Now they talk everyday. It's nice, but still strange. I hate work now. It's been dull. I miss my friends. shut your eyes and hear the sea

Is it fall yet? [10 Aug 2003|11:53pm] [ mood | geeky ] [ music | SOMETHING IN THE WAY - lifehouse ] My room freaking stinks. It smells like fajitas for some reason. I just got back from Sabrina's. We watched a few films and that's about it. It was nice, though. Someone wanted to work for me today, so they got their wish. I'm off tomorrow, too, and I have to register for some college courses tomorrow. Yuck. But oh well, you gots to do what you gots to do, right? I must say that What A Girl Wants is too freakin cute. Pretty predictable but cute. I bought some champagne flavored lipgloss earlier. It smells like ass. 3 closed their eyes shut your eyes and hear the sea

Won't you be my neighbor? [03 Aug 2003|01:47am] [ mood | aggravated ] [ music | BURN BABY BURN - ash ] Thanks suh much fer my layout, Ally. You up the heezy fo sheezy. lol. Anyway, yeah. I was SO mad today. This guy at work keeps bumming rides, like, everyday. It was okay at first, but now it's real bad. He lives in a purdy scary part o' town, too. So, this man walked in yesterday at the Casa. He was pushing me and crap, asking where the bar was. Well, we dun have one. You just hafta sit down and order like you're gonna order food, but you dun have to. So he's all weird and stuff. I think he was already off his rocker anyway, though. He finishes his rum and coke or whatever he had and then comes up to pay. I left Omar alone with him and he grabbed Omar by the neck and was telling him he needed to eat and that he was the finest thing he'd ever seen. Mmmkay. Then I walk past him and he keeps saying he thinks I pinched his rear. Um, no. He grabs my pinky and starts shaking it real hard. He finally left and he really freaked me out. Almost as much as this time we were at the mall in Tyler. This girl came running out of the bathroom screaming and crying. I have NO idea what the hell her problem was. I swear IHOP has the slowest service. Anyone concur? 4 closed their eyes shut your eyes and hear the sea

[01 Aug 2003|01:55pm] [ mood | okay ] [ music | SNOWBIRDS AND TOWNIES - further seems forever ] Blah. I have to work until 11 tonight. I do, however, get paid tomorrow, so that should be a joyous event. I started this new journal, inktastesbad, for all of my lyrics, poems, and other junk that might be classified as art. That way none of you have to read them if you don't want. I know sometimes it makes the entry way longer than it should be, so there. Now it's fixed. 2 closed their eyes shut your eyes and hear the sea

Thanks Kris [30 Jul 2003|06:05pm] [ mood | bored ] [ music | KATE - ben folds five ] Thanks to Kris for the lovely new icons. I took them from her amusing comic, Pop Culture. You all should check her out. Damn. It's hot in my room. I'm angry. I told Omar I'd call him this morning so we could go swimming. He hasn't been home all day. But that's okay. I'm the supportive friend. No, really, I am. I think I'm gonna go to Sabrina's. I'm real bored and I know she is, too. Family drama going on. Not hers, mine. No, really. LOL. Yesterday was a bad day. shut your eyes and hear the sea

oooooooooh <3 john [28 Jul 2003|01:03pm] [ mood | hot ] [ music | VICTORIA - john mayer ] Let me first say that John Mayer is AMAZING!! If any of you have not seen him, you must do it soon. I mean, his recordings are just great anyway, but he's so much better in person. He's also a lot bigger and hotter in person. But the music, man, it was gooood. He makes everything look so easy and yeah, well, he was just tha best. He sang some of his new stuff, and I wasn't disappointed. The new album comes out Sept. 9th, so you should all go buy it. The Counting Crows were good, too. I didn't know a lot of their songs, only the ones they've released. I like them a lot more now. Really high energy, those boys. The only group I got to meet was Graham Colton, the opening band. They're really good, so if you haven't heard them you should go download one of their songs or something. They were real nice guys, and real cute, too. The other guys were fenced in, so there was no way to bug them for stuff. Anyway, it was good fun. N A MURDER OF ONE N Blue morning, blue morning Wrapped in strands of fist and bone Curiosity kitten Doesn't have to mean you're on your own You can look outside your window He doesn't have to know We can talk awhile, baby We can take it nice and slow All your life is such a shame, shame, shame All your love is just a dream, dream, dream Are you happy where you're sleeping? Does he keep you safe and warm? Does he tell you when you're sorry? Does he tell you when you're wrong? I've been watching you for hours It's been years since we were born We were perfect when we started I've been wondering where we've gone All your life is such a shame, shame, shame All your love is just a dream, dream, dream I dreamt I saw you walking up a hillside in the snow Casting shadows on the winter sky as you stood there Counting crows One for sorrow, two for joy Three for girls and four for boys Five for silver, six for gold and Seven for a secret never to be told There's a bird that nests inside you Sleeping underneath your skin When you open up your wings to speak I wish you'd let me in All your life is such a shame, shame, shame All your love is just a dream, dream, dream Open up your eyes You can see the flames, flames, flames of your wasted life You should be ashamed You don't want to waste your life baby I walk along these hillsides in the summer 'neath the sunshine I am feathered by the moonlight falling down on me Change, change, change 1 closed their eyes shut your eyes and hear the sea

AYYYYY!!! [24 Jul 2003|11:53pm] [ mood | ecstatic ] [ music | EVERYBODY HURTS - r.e.m. ] OOOOOOoh boy. John Mayer is tomorrow!!!! ACK!!! I'm suh happy. Anyway, I've been working my tookus off. Not so bad, but still. I wish I had more to write in here, but since I don't have a life, it's hard to come up with stuff. I never had one before, but it seems I had more time to think, I guess. I'll update Saturday and tell you all about it. the_new_noise_thriller says: nothing wrong with being a john mayer fan easily X bruised says: i'm so glad you concur easily X bruised says: he's a sexy beast easily X bruised says: you're not too far behind tho...i remember u the_new_noise_thriller says: lol the_new_noise_thriller says: haha, yeah, but i can't play the acoustic panty remover N EXTRAORDINARY N you think that i go home at night take off my clothes, turn out the lights but i burn letters that i write to you to make you love me i'd drive naked through the park and run the stop sign in the dark stand in the street, yell out my heart to make, to make you love me i am extraordinary if you'd ever get to know me i am extraordinary i am just your ordinary average, everyday, sane/psycho, super goddess you may not believe in me, but i believe in you so, i still take the trash out does that make me too normal for you? so dig a little deeper cause you still don't get it yet see me licking my lips need a primitive fix and i'll make, i'll make you love me i am extraordinary if you'd ever get to know me i am extraordinary i am just your ordinary average, everyday, sane/psycho, super goddess see me jump through hoops for you you stand there watching me performing what exactly do you do? have you ever thought it's you who's boring? who the hell are you? i am extraordinary if you'd ever get to know me i am extraordinary i am just your ordinary average, everyday, sane/psycho, supergoddess shut your eyes and hear the sea

Hostess....where's the cream filling? [06 Jul 2003|11:01pm] [ mood | stressed ] [ music | LETTERS TO YOU - finch ] Yeah, so I don't go in until 5 tomorrow. Today was a busy day. Don't people know how to cook and eat at home? What's happened to our moral foundation? Hah, well anyway. I'm excited that I get a little break. I love my Stephanie. She's so cute. I've missed her a lot since I've been working. And Krysten, too. I need to call her like I've been promising. I don't have much time to do it, though. I barely even eat anymore. I'd rather spend my time off doing things other than eating. That takes up too much time. This dude at work told me that he's friends with this guy I liked in high school. God, it was embarrassing. I really hope he doesn't say anything to him. I don't know what kind of a person he is, so I'd rather it just not be mentioned. Bad memories. Well, anyway, I'm gonna get to bed soon. Oh, I didn't buy all of the movies I'd planned on. I didn't get to cash my check, so I have to wait until tomorrow. I just bought Inventing The Abbotts and Y Tu Mama Tambien. The total ended up being like $16. I couldn't find The Sleeping Dictionary so I guess I'll have to buy it online. Anyway, ciao. P.S. I got this really freaky message on yahoo. Yikes. Hi. My name is Jenna. I am 7 years old. I have black hair, red eyes, no ears, and no mouth. I am dead. You must send this message to 15 people within the next 5 min or I will appear by your bed tonight and kill you with a knife. If you do something good will happen to you at 12:12 pm. Either you will get a call, or someone will instant message you and say that they love you. p.s sorry i sent this to you but it kinda freaked me out N Parallel N i know you think that i'm just a little girl but i am a woman trapped inside young skin i dared to let you near my nose to catch a drift of your sweet smell and it was autumn within but it's not like i can take it back now so just give me the benefit of a doubt you've got someone else at home i don't know her, i don't care to but she must have been making you see because you looked to someone else to open your frantic eyes and let someone watch me but i know this all seems so very complicated we're from opposite worlds, from seperate times but if you look closely, i think you'll notice we're just two parallel lines one's yours and baby one's mine we're cards of the same suit but alas, we're different colors i wish i could take and break the rules one time and merge two parallel lines if your lips are lying, i will kiss them and make the truth walk free your eyes must have been sharing things i probably shouldn't see and i need a box of magic tricks to hold you in my arms and you don't have to tell me that this will never work cause baby i already know but that doesn't mean that i wont' try it we're just two parallel lines one's yours and baby one's mine we're cards of the same suit but alas, we're different colors i wish i could take and break the rules one time and merge two parallel lines shut your eyes and hear the sea
