“My magical music lingo is going to fast for you”… XD
I have only so much time.. 13 minutes to be exact, baby.
So, this will be a quickie post.
I have two hours and a day until I get aboard this train to the climate full of palm trees..
I wonder how my syn will react to this.. It has already. I am starting to feel orange in my upper arms.. I’ve only felt this twice in my whole life. I wonder what color California is going to be.. I hope this is going to be worth it!

We’re sleeping first-class on this modern train- what an oxymoron. There might be internet on it.. Oh, the excitement [and the orange.. I've been feeling it ever since I found out..]

Oh, this orange!! It’s so bright in the middle! I’ve never felt this orange! See? I hardly ever have any really intense syn experiences.. OH THE ORANGE!

“If you left it up to me, everyday would be a holiday from real.”

I want another left coast tune.

This fishbowl life is all they need

April 28, 2006 · No Comments

Allright. Jimmy got a myspace, and I’m going to send him a request- he told me about it and I’m like, I might as well write a blog.. I guess. lol JUST KIDDING.
Since this is the first time in a little bit long time, so it is now.. TTT!
Top Ten bands that I have fallen in love with [or rediscovered]:
1. Jack’s Mannequin. I cannot say this enough- I LOVE JACK’S MANNEQUIN!
2. Cartel. I LOVE CARTEL.
3. Men Women and Children- So much better than Panic!
4. Say Anything- omg. This band is so amazing.
5. Augustana- They are OK, I’ve only truly listened to one song.. But I’ll have tons of time tomorrow on the way to.. You know.
6. The Academy Is.. - I felt sad so I listened to them.. They feel like home. lol
7. Allister- They are really good, but I don’t listen to them enough. I like “Flypaper”

Okay, not top ten time, but I couldn’t put top seven, because that wouldn’t rhyme- It’d throw off my groove, man.

Wow, I had two views this week and I haven’t even posted. I feel so cool right now. Tears up*
I deconstruct my thoughts on this piano/ I watch the stars become the day, the LA girls are lacing up their sneakers/ they run the boardwalk and the beach/ this fish-bowl life is all they need.. The static’s where you’ll find me

I want to write something really cool, clever, and scandalous.
Uhm.. ALLIE SHIZZLES NIZZLES!
Scandalous, baby, scandalous!

I will not be attending school in most of the duration of next week for a few reasons.

A few reasons that you probably already know, as the reader, and that I don’t want to post here, on the internet, on myspace, on my blog.

Myspace is really big and it is getting boring- that is why I don’t really blog. Anymore.
You will be fascinated by my past blogs. so read them as I am away.
Or talk to me on AIM. Or e-mail me. Or call me [not that I'll post any of this info on here. Ask around school. You'll figure it out.]. Or visit me on LJ [you don't need an account to comment. Carmina commented me w/o account.]

He still knows. I find that very funny.

We talked once more today, we talk about twice a week.

OR three. but the really interesting convos.. Twice.

We talked about Monty Python today. I feel bad that I remember.

so then it’s like, ohmygod.
Teeny bop time*
I don’t know if I have alot of time left online..So I’ll end this blog now! hehe.

Don’t deny it, you say it, you mean it!

So, we’re leaving for California in about the same time it takes for a heart to heal, in about two days.
I’m pretty freaking excited, sure, the reason isn’t that.. Good, but you know. I’M LEAVING WASHINGTON FOR FIVE DAYS!
.. Or the same amount of time to pick another up.
Too bad I’m not going to be that missed.. Lol. I’m not that rad or magical as I would hope for it to be.
It’s two-fourty six.. The clock got tired of the fourty-five. How brutal.
We’re riding on a train.. I’ve never been on a train before.
I don’t think I have.
BUT I’M LEAVING HERE! Oh, this is so freaking tripindicular.

Close the door and take the stairs..

All right. I wanted some feelings of home.. So I turned The Academy Is.. onto my ipod and started rocking out.. I know these songs just as well as Blink, I love them so much! lol
Fred Flare is finally handing out a free shipping code.. But I can’t find a single thing to buy. This is really a one time thing, the last time I got one was in around December for Christmas. I didn’t buy anything Christmas-affliated.

WASL is still very stupid; I had an hour and fifty minutes to kill today. Then we played a game. Two games, if you wanted to be technical about it, but I’m in a somewhat, good mood today.

We platyed handball today in PE and since it was ninth against eighth, and same gender, with only five eighth graders, it doesn’t really help. We played alot. I hated it. We were so sweaty. And this totally hot dude was on the opposing team.. Shh!

“pick it uppp!”

rofl. PE was pretty funny though. Arianna pushed me, she sucks. She did it on purpose! Telling me to guard my part of the wall, which I did excellently. She kept messing it up. What a poopy head.

I love the academy is..
So much, baby.

I like alot of bands. But that is good, right? Exactly.

here is a short list of what I did today:
- ortho appointment
- substituted glue for mod podge so I can make the cutest bracelet
- played solitare on the computer. No internet required.

bye bye adventurers of the interweb!

Your heartless songs won’t stick

April 26, 2006 · No Comments

Ohh boyy.. I’m tired.

Yes, this happens to be my second blog, shocking.. Oh, so much.

Today is the day of which I am going to board a train to a place full of palm trees and power lines..
Everyone’s all stressed out.. It’s only a few days.

I’m stressed out- It’s only a few days.
Two projects.. Possibly three, but Quick didn’t assign me it, personally. Class-wide though.. She did.. Oops.
We’re actually coming back on the darkest blue of the week..

If you know me, it’s the day of the week of which I was born.
We’re going to leave in about ten minutes.. Dad’s putting the bags in the car, already.

The car is going to be freezing- As it is every single morning.

I’ve been loading up my ipod to prepare myself for the next thirty six hours.

Yes, we are indeed going to be riding overnight..

And then we save ourselves about five hundred bucks by being picked up, and we are going to stay at a relatives..
I finally figured out where we are going, a specific city in this broad state of which we are “vacationing”.

I can’t bring myself to say it’s an actual vacation- it’s for a few days to visit someone in the hospital.
I am slipping through/ I am slipping into the airwaves/ the static’s where you’ll find me..
We are going first-class. Oh, how fascinating.

We get our own beds.. I can feel the old money growing on me already.

I love saying that -We’re going first class.

Livejournal is my friend.

Until next time, fellow blog-readers of the world-wide webberverse.

I love you. 5763.

This fish-bowl life is all they need

April 25, 2006 · No Comments

So, Nick didn’t come back today, we were all hoping for him to come back, and somehow, that didn’t happen. Maybe he stayed in the library for the day.. ? I hope not. I know, just as well as you do, that it is so boring in there. Like, Woodford boring. Which is extremely boring.
So tomorrow is one two three, and we all need to shut the door..
It’s not good, it means two things. Three things, actually:
one. woodford for first.
two. preps at our table
three. Physical education.

All three I absolutely hate. Well, the second, can go on hold, for two more reasons:
one. I am friends with quite a bit of them
two. I am one.

Jack’s Mannequin is the best thing ever. I love Andrew McMahon, really. but yeah. I cannot get over how rad this band is. The lyrics are amazing, the music just fits so well.

Anything else? Well. I made a microcassette necklace, and got tons of compliments. I also made some earrings, with another set of microcassettes, but I don’t like them as much as I hoped. Other people probably would like them though. Either way, I am not really planning on wearing them.

I have no homework today. I don’t know if that’s good or not. At least I have tons of time to do.. Nothing.

We did the math WASL today, and it’s ok. I guess. It took me forever, omg. It’s so stupid. And Phimister [or the Fee Master] pronouces WASL, like wah-zell. With a Z.

It’s only four twenty five. I should be looking at stuff to do later. But right now, I am content typing. Typing does make me content. The noise is so nice.

Someday I’m going to break out of this small-town full of contradictions and monotony
They are both as tiring as the signals of constructions going on by the bus stop
They try and make this all more lively, and yet it seems as cheesy as truly wanting to watch Wheel of Fortune.
They probably do that too.
I’m sure that they measure the rainfall in their tomato garden.
I’m sure they count the days that it is sunny.

Boy, I am bored.
I have better stuff than that. But I wouldn’t post it on the internet. It sounds stupid, but in a good way. I hope that makes sense.

So, I have no plans or anything interesting going on this week or this weekend. Maybe I’ll go out with Riza and watch the latest Scary Movie, because we are oh-so snazzy.

What should I talk about?

I keep thinking that syn is this amazing thing. Something magical. Even though I have it myself. So when I think something is syn, I go against it and I don’t think it’s syn.

Example:
I was trying to figure out how bird-chirps look like. I saw it, and I was like, oh that isn’t syn. [it happens too much.]. So then I sat down somewhere else and then I was thinking, “No wait, it was just blue rectangles outlined with yellow”, and then I was like, oh. that’s syn.

Es muy complicado.
But yeah, nothing else to write, for now.

Jack’s Mannequin.. I cannot express how much I love Andrew McMahon.

“I deconstruct my thoughts on this piano..”

I love Into The Airwaves right now.. So perfect. This is the most awesome thing everrr.

I love andrew mcmahon. He is so talented.

But yeah.
Sorry for the short entry.. I can’t write alot since an hour doesn’t provide alot of time for inspiration to come. It takes me a while to come up with things to write about - this isn’t just another thing to put against my punishment.

Something isn’t right, living with the news.

April 23, 2006 · No Comments

Gosh, nothing really to do. I wanted to make something this weekend; That clearly didn’t happen. I didn’t want to deal with it.. I get uber stressed when I craft, it’s fun, but I end up messing it up one way or another, so then I end up thinking about what I did and how I am going to fix it for the rest of the day; It either makes or breaks my day.
I managed to get my bead box out from the garage.. I haven’t seen it in such a long time. I found a really old letter from my first friend’s mother, it’s at least.. seven years old, maybe older. Toni was my first friend from Kindergarten in Connecticut. Not that many people know this, but I used to live in Connecticut. It wasn’t for a long time; being a military family rarely means permanancy. It hardly ever does. I am really happy we have been here for this long.
Great. 15 minutes left online. I hate this.

The only difference is - the numerical order has a personality this time.Today we recieved the report of the marks, and of course.. I get a C+ in geometry.

I don’t know what my punishment is - I’m sick anyways. Can’t that be enough? I’ll try and figure that one out on my own, thanks.

Right now, I am totally in love with Andrew McMahon of JM/Soco, and I want to marry this dude. rofl, jk, but he’s still the most talented guy I have ever heard of. He has cancer, yet he can produce his own records and make an entire record by himself! He is really good at singing and song writing, thank god he’s well enough to tour again.

“I’m on the verge, I’m on the verge, unraveling with every word, with every word you say, make me believe”

He is so uh-may-zuh-zing. lol

We got back from McChord and the comissary, gosh darn it, I finally bought and artichoke and I am going to prepare it tonight for myself. It’s supposed to be the lobster of vegetation. I guess I’ll see.

After hearing andrew, I really want to write something good, something poetic, something truly amazing and simple. His story is so inspirational, and yet he is so totally normal. his lyrics are so real and standard.

I love Andrew McMahon. 5762.

I still have been figuring out new syn. This is getting interesting.
I would read about it online and be like “That is syn??!”, just because it is so normal.
In A Mango Shaped Space, the author makes the girl’s experiences seem so new to her, every now and then I have a really intense syn experience, but the book makes it seem like EVERY experience is extremely intense. But it does describe the really intense experiences pretty well. I lent the book to Amber for WASLing.. I wonder if I will ever finish reading it. I want to, but then again, I never think of it.

“I’ll take a west coast winter tune.”

– Updatearooni

Allright. So I have one hour online now and no phone at all until the next progress report; which is in about.. Another month. Gosh, it is so freaking stupid; I am so mad.

I put in this song, tear me apart for pouring out my heart.

April 17, 2006 · No Comments

All right. Some would say that today is pretty rad.
I finished my skirt yesterday and it is totally rockkiinnngg…
I love it. And so does about, sixteen other people [I'm that lame.. I tallied it up on my hand..]. I also made a shirt yesterday, I am going to wear it tomorrow. It’s not as extraordinary as my skirt though.So, yeah. I got a C on my Chapter nine test *thumbs up

I feel so sick. WASL is coming up. I don’t feel sick because of that, I was just making a point. Maybe it’s stress? That’s weird to say.
Jensen is my testing teacher [Jensen.. The name sounds 70s to me.] and she is in the last hallway. My classes are away from there. But whatever. WASL = Minimal homework.

I still feel pretty sick. This sucks. It’s just a headache and a stomach ache, but still. =(

Today was very intense, syn-wise. There was this lawnmower [Tractor like.. Makes more noise.] that was really close to my sixth period class, and I was so scared by the noise. Really. I felt like it was going to attack me. The room filled with grayish-green.. I was so scared. It was so intense.

… And I’m going to keep my syn even more of a secret from now on. I sound like a mushroom-doer. [Magic mushroom.. Get it?]

But yeah. That is pretty much my day. I’m going to try and make a lolita dress.. I’m very iffy on it. It’s complicated, but in an easy way? You know? I mean… It’s very simple, but it takes alot to assemble it. The circle skirt was easy. The shirt was semi-easy, after you get the pattern down. I feel so.. Professional. Alot of people thought my skirt was store-bought. I feel so cool. But then again, I was tallying the compliments on my hand.

I hardly had any homework right now.. And today was a normal day. But I feel like I’m missing something..

I don’t know if I should wear some special clothes tomorrow so I am comfy for testing.

The silence is magnified in the room of concentration.
Pencils riffing, erasers raffing.
It’s a freaking WASL symphony.

The other thing that sucks is, it is 123. I still have PE and woodford and moda. At least I don’t get any homework in those classes..
But I still need to see Quick to get my homework for the next day. I hate that class. She’s scaryyy. At least I don’t test with her.

Hoy, en la clase de fisical educacion, WE CONDITIONED. RUN, JUMPROPE, TAEBO. I hate that class.

I wonder what is going to happen tomorrow. I really wouldn’t mind square dancing - you don’t sweat, and it’s just hanging out the whole period. With me, I will be hanging out with Jimmy the whole period. Not bad.
And also.. I don’t like him. Seriouslllyyy.

Cartel = uh-may-zuh-zing. [Benchwarmers. Love that movie.]

Me and Allie went to see Benchwarmers on Saturday, and it was pretty snazzy… That is the second time I have watched it.

Hers too.
We went with her brother and her brother’s friend. We sat on opposite ends of the theater. not me and allie, us and the little boys.

“So, you still think I look like Yoda?”
“No, of course not”
“YODA’S MY FAVORITE! YOU’RE A BAD BAD BAD MAN!!!!!! GO AWAYYYY!!!”

rofl!!!

But yeah, pretty rad.
I want to go to the fabric store and get some more tela. I really want some more.. Even though I have alot already. I want to make a rad dress, since I have made a skirt and a shirt.. A dress is essentially, a shirt and a skirt sewn together.

Writing “skirt” and “shirt” over and over again really confuses me.

I should start making my LJ blog, a syn dictionary. For my own reference later in life. Let’s start with the basics.

A- red
B- blue
C- yellow
D- dark blue
E- green
F- purple
G- green
H- bright blue
I- yellow
J- orange
K- reddish orange
L- green
M- dark purple, almost black
N- blue
O- black
P- dark purple
Q- pinkish-purple
R- red
S- pink
T- yellow
U- purple
W- green
V- yellow
X- black
Y- black
Z- ?

0- black
1- yellow
2- blue
3- green
4- purple
5- gold
6- feminine pinkish purple
7- green
8- purple- almost black
9- red

Took a while to type it out.. The color started to fade.
It’s weird talking about it, but at least I only have one friend on here, and you’re ok with it.

here it goes again, put on that deserving tone.. Don’t forget this was all your fault.

Oh my.. This is a starry surprise. I haven’t been updating any of my blogs lately..He’s the thing that is IT; the newest black and the newest pair of Choos
and oh, the simplicity of the details.
It is so easy to see this all; but I don’t really want to restate this obvious
His voice is deep aubergine with black spikes poking the sides, and his name hardly matches his hair; or his brilliant pink personality.
Not so manly, but so nice.
As clever as Pollack, may as well be the next one; only with his music.
As smart as a dolphin; yet as random as to mention one in a normal conversation.
But, he calls for as much attention as a hooker in a church.
He knows he will get it from me; everyone has told him so, as of two weeks ago.
But, there are two of them in my life.
Now I feel like the hooker; not in church; Atheism is against that.
One of them is as needy as a plant; the other doesn’t care.
But then, they both would tend to me like I were to be a plant.
I talk to one as much as I can; the other, when I find the words. And when I don’t trip over them.
This has been under the wraps for quite a while; I’m not as open as you all might think.
The other thing; they think just like me.

So, that was interesting, don’t you think? I was losing the good stuff around the end.

Very interesting week; Heard Nick is coming back next week. That will be so interesting.

My syn has really started to effect me. The more I think about it, the more I notice it.
So, now I have:

Color:
sound, taste [very weak], people, emotions, words, numbers.

Time syn: [weak, but not very. its like, the weather forecast in blue, with a yellow light.]
but yeah.
ME gots a movie with John Cusack in it. I HEART JOHN CUSACK.
by like fifttyyy millionn trillion=D
!!
but yeah.
I should post a pic of JOHN CUSACK SO YOU CAN SEE THE RADNESS..

Yes, I love CIWWAF’s new song demo.. I’m so late to hear it, officially on their PV. teehee.
COME ON, LET’S GET IT HOT, AND LEAVE THE MARK AND LEAVE YOU!
Men women and children… Seriously.

They are kind of electronica, but I love them. They are so danceable. They are fifty times better than P!ATD. Sorry, but they are.
Went to McChord and returned my sewing machine. That sewing machine sucked so much.
Yeah, quickie post once more. Sorry!

It’s better than silence, give me one good reason

April 5, 2006 · No Comments

So, quickie post!
Today I am going to:
- host a sleepover featuring Riza and her sibling

- try and finish my shirt before they come over [I managed to cut out all of the practice fabric, second test run, last night so maybe I can finish it real quick. I am thinking of a new technique to set in the sleeves, oh my.]
- download more Cartel. I’m looking at all of my sources of free downloads [purevolume, garageband, just to name a few], and I haven’t had as much success as I am hoping.. ughteehee.
So then.. Yeah.
I love cartel, especially because nobody likes them =D
I’m happy riza is coming over, the last time she came over was during the summer. on my birthday. lol
I hope Angela and Andy get along…

They used to give each other bunny kisses, so adorable. At the time. Now it would just look creepy.

I want to make a shirt, all I need to do is decide on the fabric and improve my old pattern, and it will be all right. I think I need to give like, two inches of allowances on the side and it’ll be a tee instead of a three-quarter.
teehee.

No. Naturally, there will always be an occasional whackjob who will claim to have this or that rare “special gift”, condition, or disorder so as to gain attention from others. I do have synesthesia and did not create this website for attention. In fact, the vast majority of people with synesthesia who do not know it is a natural, real condition, do not talk about what they have until they find out it is such. “

See? I’m not as messed up as you may think that I am.

so, it is OFFICIALLY time for the break of spring, or spring of break, whichever you prefer.

This morning of this wonderful day, I found some more frosted flakes residing in my pantry. I feel so lucky.
I am currently consuming my second bowl! YEAHHHH!

shnufulupagus left me =(

SHE KEEPS FORGETTING TO BRING HER FREAKING LAPTOP!

NOW WE DONT TALK ON AIM, WE TALK OVER E-MAIL

AGAIN!

=(

frownie.

Not much to write about.

I want to make some rad stuff for myself.
