When darkness is upon your door and you feel like you can't take anymore [06 Oct 2008|09:56pm] dogloverblue [ mood | quixotic ] [ music | Savage Garden- Crash n Burn ] I have the most negative parents on the face of the planet. There is not one thing I can ever say to them without five thousand "what if" scenes smacking me in the face. They constantly are the first to say "you can't do this". When I was ten I found a dead bird in the yard and the first thing my mother told me was that if my dog did it, they were going to put her down. And the worst part is now I'm starting to doubt myself. I wonder what its like to have unconditional support. open up to your mind

Your demons come to light and your mind is not your own [05 Oct 2008|09:54pm] dogloverblue [ mood | okay ] [ music | Billy Squire-Lonely is the Night ] First and formost; obviously I am alive. Yippie!! Skydiving by far was one of the most amazing things I've ever done. Easily top three. We were the first group of the day and honestly filling out the paperwork/signing our lives away took longer. We literally showed up, signed forms, were put in gear, and shoved in a plane. My tandum master was great, and kinda cute. I was in the first group, and the first to jump. The whole way up he (tandum master) kept tightening everything, and by the end I was literally flush against him. Steve was after me, then Karen's (Josh/Rebecca's sister) friend Ericka, then Tori's brother Eric. So i didnt get to see anyone else jump except the two other skydivers and my videographer.  I did get the see our second group land more or less. There was Josh/Rebecca's Dad, Josh, Karen, and Tori. Oh also my parents missed the whole thing. My Mom blames my Dad for taking too long looking up the directions on Google Maps. Btw, I left the window open. All they had to do was print. But atleast we got the video for them to watch. But Mrs. Davis said she was going to come and watch but she ended up over sleeping too.   But Like I said ; amazing. We all went out to brunch afterwards and we decided we're going again after London. OH!! Right!! Not only was the weather amazing, and perfectly clear; I got to see the two shuttles on the pads. Since the hurricanes they put a shuttle on each launch pad and havent taken them back in yet. And since the shuttle program is dissolving that was the last time anyone will ever see that.  And I saw it. From 15,000 ft. Since then I have gotten hired at Toys R Us. I have training in a week or two, then I start part-time. They seem to be pretty understanding of me having to work happy hands which is over Halloween. But there is still Edgewood's show that I need off too. On top of my regular school hours. I turned out my philosophy paper yesterday, and bombed my test. But I got a 100 on my humanities quiz. I just took Cheza for a walk and I grabbed my mom's flip flops because they were by the door. Anyway it was rainy out and I slipped on a driveway's slick tile and really bit it. My knee and ankle are killing me. Oh, and in regards to my previous entry, I picked evans blue's "dear lucid" and the goo goo dolls "eyes wide open" for my movie. Which I never want to watch. I could feel my skin as I jumped being sucked back. And frankly I have no desire to see that. open up to your mind

[03 Oct 2008|08:03pm] 12shineyboxes There. I did it again. Typed this big huge fuck life bitch post, and deleted it. Actions speak louder than words. Or thoughts. What good does writing down what is in my head do when I could be doing what is in my head? open up to your mind

It has been two years... [02 Oct 2008|12:46am] airybe Hello, my name is Erica and I have grown. It is odd to look back on things you once said and did and wonder what compelled you. I am happy to have this little online journal, it has some sweet sweet nostalgia. Life is good, and I understand people come and go, it just sucks when you remember the people you left behind, or strayed from. Now I have some AMAZING friends, and my best friend in the entire world. Courtney is my closest friend, for some reason we are so in tune with each other she knows pretty much everything about me. I honestly believe that I will never have a better friends than her in my life. Now we have Chris, he is a conundrum, he is a wonderful person, and physically very attractive, but he has the self image of an anorexic and has a hard time understanding that although he is a great person he world tends not to reward it all the time. Tiffany, well she is the sweetest person you could ever meet, a total darling. She will do pretty much everything possible to sugar coat any situation. Mike, well he is Chris's best friend who recently moved here from New Jersey, he is a male version of me, but more of a womanizing asshole. He is a very sweet guy, but doesn't tend to show it because he has been ripped to shreds by the women he expressed it to. He is vulgar, blunt, and hilarious. Then there is Stephanie, she is my anchor, she is the only person who stopped me from becoming someone I would be ashamed of. She is the level headed friend who guides me through my motivation. Those are the only people I actually consider friends at the moment, but believe me when I say I have many an acquaintance. Other than that, I am in College and working to pay my bills. In the time I am not doing either of those, I attempt to spend it with my family and friends. I have settled down a bit, and I tend to be calm a lot more now-a-days but still fun ;) My humor has changed a little, it tends to involve more playful insults and less sexual innuendo. Now my love life, has barely changed, although I finally figured out what my "type" is... and it scares me. lol And it is much different than what I would have expected two years ago. lol Alas, I have class tomorrow and my little moment here must end. I am not entirely sure who will read this, if anyone at all, but at least there will always be memoirs like this. open up to your mind

[01 Oct 2008|11:58pm] 12shineyboxes "Hey" WHAT THE FUCK? open up to your mind

baaaa [01 Oct 2008|09:46pm] cheyinka [ mood | memetic ] Hmm! A meme! (from synecdochic, who received it from rydra_wong) Here are the rules: Post info about ONE Supreme Court decision, modern or historic to your lj. (Any decision, as long as it's not Roe v. Wade.) For those who see this on your f-list, take the meme to your OWN lj to spread the fun. (Also, you can post about a different country's highest court, as far as I'm concerned.) The info I am posting, without commentary* because the meme didn't say I had to do any of that: ( Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District ) *This isn't commentary, it's my reason for picking it: it's the first one that came to mind, though not by name. I remembered "black armbands", "free speech", and "Iowa". Actually it was the third case that came to mind - first was the forbidden one, second was one that was completely necessary for that forbidden subject. Anyway. Closing and hermetically sealing can of worms now. 1 left a whisper| open up to your mind

Oh dear lost guilty pleasures... [29 Sep 2008|11:26pm] 12shineyboxes I resurrected my Shakira cd! open up to your mind

[29 Sep 2008|08:09pm] blackvelvetmag [ mood | exhausted ] Black Velvet 58 is almost complete. I'm just going through all the pages, hoping I've whittled out all the typos. As always a bunch of CD reviews are having to be left back for the next issue. I'm also waiting for a bunch of reviews from contributors. Remember, the more advertisers we have the more pages we might be able to have. At the moment I can't afford more than 40 pages, so almost every issue I'm having to hold reviews back for the following issue. Our ad rates start at the super-cheap £20 / $40 for a colour quarter page. Can't get better than that! Contact me if you do want to advertise. Please try to avoid getting in touch to advertise at the last minute as then I've usually already arranged the pages. The earlier the better for reserving ad space. You can get your ad images in at a later date as long as you've reserved the space already. I WILL try next issue to cut down to just 10 interviews, rather than 11, so there are less CD reviews to hold back - but it's so hard when Black Velvet gets offered interviews with awesome bands. I already have an interview to research and come up with questions for for issue 59 as soon as issue 58 goes to the printers. 4 left a whisper| open up to your mind
