golden gate jumpers

so saturday turned out okay. i didn't go to the run and i asked zach to go with me to get the tree, but he was grounded. i ended up going with my family and spending most of the day at church decorating for christmas, which wasn't bad, even if it was a little boring. 

um, not much else has been going on lately. im scared shitless for finals really. they're still like a month or so away but im just scared because they're a new thing and im not sure how to study for them or anything. =/

i love my wii. i've gotta say. i haven't played it much, but once i get some new games ill be playing it a little more. id like to play it a lot but so far i haven't really had the time. i know i'll start using it more soon because it's a whole lot of fun. =]

oh i also think im going to throw a new years party. idk who would come but ill ask around and see if anyone would be interested. i like parties but ive never had one so im not so sure how it goes, i hope im fun enough for people other than ashley to be interested haha.

ugh im hungry

my dad left yesterday for the badger game in michigan. he's not supposed to be home until really late tomorrow i think. 

so me and my mom decided to do whatever we felt like today. she really wanted to see that movie nights in rodanthe so we drove to johnson creek to see it. they have a really swanky theater that has this great stadium seating and pretty good popcorn. but anything is great compared to the theaters in janesville tbh. we noticed that when we came back home to see burn after reading at the movies ten. both movies were good. i didn't think nights in rodanthe was going to be good at all. i thought i knew what was going to happen and that it was just going to be a dumb chick flick, but it was actually pretty good. i cried. =] because i always cry at movies. it was just the whole situation kinda touched me, even though i think they fell in love a little unrealistically. and the theater was full of dumb ladies that oohed and ahed at richard gere. ugh. oh and i remembered how much i like james franco. =]

i liked burn after reading, too. it was a little dumb and slow-paced, but some parts were hilarious and i really liked george clooney's character. 

um, i had more to say, i really did.

maybe ill edit this later and add whatever i remember. 

editt: i guess i wanted to talk about the game yesterday. it was a lot of fun, but i think that dumb boy zach needs to stop fucking with me! he didn't show up before we left for the game and i was worried that he wouldn't show. he ended up getting there just a little after we did. then he hung out with kimberly [in our geometry class] a whole lot and barely talked to me for the first half of the game. then, the second half he [and nate] flirted with me like there was no tomorrow. also, when he was about to leave, i couldn't tell if he wanted me to hug him or if he just wanted to get out of there. ugh! its like being in every class with wyatt all over again! i just dont know what to do.

the june spirit

so this is the list of shows i want to see this fall.
a couple of them are possible.
there's some others [like nevershoutnever and does it offend you, yeah? and a few in deep south illinois] that i didn't add because they're too far away/out of my grasp as a fifteen year old kid with dumb parents and zero friends of age.

all time low [with mayday parade, the maine and every avenue]
november 14 - the rave, milwaukee
november 15 and 16 - house of blues, chicago

cobra starship [with forever the sickest kids, hit the lights and sing it loud omg if i miss this tour ill die]
october 15 - house of blues, chicago
october 17 - the rave, milwaukee

the academy is [with we the kings, carolina liar and hey monday]
november 1 - the eagles club, milwaukee
november 6 - house of blues, chicago

panic at the disco [with dashboard confessional, plain white t's and the cab.]
october 22 - allstate arena, rosemont il [i want to see this so bad, but there's a football game that day. if i have a really cool friend who will take me and if i can talk my way out of the game, ill be there fo sho.]

motion city soundtrack
september 17 - the canopy club, urbana il

farewell
september 18 - mojoes coffeehouse, tinley park il

thats it, i guess. i thought there was more. the one that i'll most likely be able to go to is the academy is on november 1. and the two in september are the least likely. =/ ive heard that the rave is 18+ only and in a bad neighborhood, lots of drugs etc., but i'll check it out.
keeping my fingers crossed. =]

oh shit

I am so shaken right now. I get on the computer to find some good guitar tabs, and get this instead.
http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/general_music_news/chiodos_frontman_attempts_suicide.html

Craig Owens, frontman of Chiodos and Cinematic Sunrise, attempted suicide by overdosing. Just FOUR days after I saw him at Warped. I can't believe it. I just... I don't know. I thought he looked so happy then. I used to comment on how depressed he would act, and joke about it. But after Warped, I told my sister, "I'm glad Craig seems to be happier these days." But now, seeing how serious it still was, even then... I'm just... really upset. I <3 you Craig. please get better.

yeah, great. and then his face shows up on the cover of AP less than a week later. aaah. good job. -sad-

[editt; so today (monday) i was checking up on purevolume and saw that motion city soundtrack was co headlining with chiodos a tour soon. not only was i like 'holy shit these are two of my most favorite bands i must be there' (then found out that its not near me but there's a date earlier that's just mcs), i also thought 'haha, interesting choice. sounds like fun' but the most important thought was, 'will craig be okay for that?!?! is this before what just happened!?!' so idk. that's just an update.]

so i got 'tagged'

two children [cory and i_am_phenomenon] tagged me for this silly little game. so i guess ill do it.


the rules
1. link the person who tagged you
2. state the rules in your blog
3. tell 6 quirks about yourself
4. tag 6 other bloggers
5. leave a comment on each of their blogs stating that they have been tagged.

six quirks
1. everything scares me
2. i fingerpaint on a regular basis
3. my personality is inherently conflicting
4. i often write letters that i don't plan on sending
5. i usually skip the number nine when counting to ten, but its one of my lucky numbers
6. i constantly have ideas for stories, songs, and drawings in my head, but they rarely make it to paper

six kids
aww i have no friends on blogger besides ashley =[
i'll tag some kids who like the same things i do.
[psh yeah right like i have the balls to talk to random strangers,
maybe the reason that my only blogger friend is a real life friend, you never know...]
if i did end up tagging kids, i'd tag:
chris
ely
kristi
ada potata
amy
and idk i couldnt find anyone else cool so i quit.
w/e who really cares anyway?
