[19 Jul 2008|04:04am] asakurasol [ mood | melancholy ] I simply refuse to sleep.... That can of coffee couldn't have helped. For the past few hours, I've been having imaginary conversations with imaginary people who I wish were real. That and trying to play "It's So Simple" by Saosin. An electric just doesn't sound good unplugged. It's about 4 am now and I've been trying to sleep since 12 am. My head just won't turn off. It's kinda depressing/fun? All this time alone with my head also made me realize how much more anti-social I have become. Being in a room for about a month or two without going outside and not really speaking to anyone can do that to you. Believe it or not, I've rehearsed this entry a dozen times in my head and it's just not turning out the way I planned. I had planned a rant about how selfish and how much of an asshole I am, but I figure no one really fucking cares. I've decided to change a few things about how I spend my time daily. It'll be kinda hard, but I'll be glad in the long run. Well,,,, I could sit here until sleep takes me and just spill out every single thought in my head. That would be one long post. It would not make sense. I would read it in the morning and probably delete it (not likely). Actually, the only thought right now is how my life will unfold. In like 2 years, I'll be either thrust into being by myself and handling everything by myself and being able to live on my own or doing what I do best which is absolutely nothing. I think I'll have to give up a few dreams here and there too. Can't shit myself. Being in a band and making music for a living will just never happen. It'll remain nothing more than a hobby. I'll be lucky if I graduate high school and not waste a good amount of my parents' money on this goddamn school. I'll be lucky if I get into a college that my parents aren't ashamed to tell people I go to. I can't really disappoint my parents all that much more. I'll be lucky if I can get a job to pay for some dinky apartment and keep myself alive until whenever. I'm not aiming for great things. Just gonna do my best to be able to live free of anyone. Ah, what the hell am I talking about? 4:30 am. I've been here for half and hour. I think my mom's still awake in her room watching Chinese stuff on the internet. Yup. She just came out and told me to go to sleep. She said I shouldn't be up so late and it wasn't okay. I told her she was doing the same thing and she said she could do it because she's an adult. She's probably gonna check on me again and I'll probably still be here. Then she'll get mad because I can't sleep. Well, more because she's worried, but all the same. Well, that's life. Sleepless nights and parents who love you more than you love them. But I'm no longer the happy little kid who was....well...happy and who constantly made them happy. Now I'm just some person they barely know who's trying to be something he's not. I hate it. And maybe if I could admit that to them. Then at least I won't have to feel bad about that aspect of my life. Getting a bit weird for ya huh? Well, it's almost 5 am and the sun will be coming up soon. I'll try to sleep, but I'll be dragged out of bed as soon I fall asleep. It's gonna be Saturday (well, technically it already is). The one day of the entire week where I'm obliged to go visit my grandma in S.F because she needs it. Then I'll probably be dragged to some crowded place where people sell their souls for useless things. And that concludes our story. -Allan post comment

Born Like This [18 Jul 2008|11:34pm] emma_98 [ mood | happy ] So today/ or 'yesterday' was funnn. I spent the day with one of my friends even had a little 'photoshoot'. We did some Photoshop, had dinner, met her doggie.  But sorry, Ryan Ross is still a no no to me. : / 5 comments|post comment

[18 Jul 2008|08:32pm] asakurasol [ mood | uncomfortable ] [ music | You, Me, and Everyone We Know ] Everything is goin' wrong, but were so happy! Not really. Nothing's going all that wrong anymore. I've nothing life-related to complain about now. Boo. What else am I gonna go on about? Your interest, of course, is waning. I can almost taste it... So I must say something shocking and provocative to keep you here. So which blonde that I've slept with do you wanna hear about?! Haha. I keed.... I didn't yell "surpise!" Ooo.....creepy...... I've still got a few important things to do. But I don't feel motivated to do anything at all. I guess that's something I get to complain about. Yay! I haven't been able to full-heartedly (that's a word...right?) do anything these past few days (okay....maybe play video games, but that doesn't count). I blame my horrible sleep habits. You know what I could go for right now? A PS3! After watching the E3 crap, there's a bunch of stuff I need to play on that system! Namely Metal Gear Solid 4, Soul Calibur 4, Resident Evil 5, and Silent Hill 5! Sequels! YEA!!! But all that would run me somewhere around $700 maybe? Wallet says $30. -.-" "GO GET A FUCKING JOB!" You might be screaming furiously in your head. I would've, but honestly, who the hell's gonna hire me?! I'd scare people away from the business or get fired for being all snarky and shit at customers. I had this horrible urge for chocolate cake as I was laying in bed last night. I seem to think a lot about food when I'm trying to sleep. Just one of the many things that force me to stay up until early in the morning, but that's another story. I wouldn't go so far as saying I've developed an eating disorder now. This has something to do with the lack of wanting to do anything. Ooo! I finally found out who that white dude from that horrible Boost Mobile commercial where those three guys rap is. He's an actual rapper (and so are the other two dudes). Didn't know that. Just thought it was some random white guy. His name is Mickey Avalon and he's actually pretty cool. His songs are very, very trashy, but he's lived a pretty fucked up life so could ya blame him? He was on Loveline last night so that's the only reason I know that. End of thought. I still have not purchased The Ropes' albums yet. I think my dad's trying to til I forget since he thinks me buying CD's is a waste of money. Not something I'd forget man. Think I'll go bug him again. And mind you, it's only because I have to use iTunes and don't have a credit card so I need to borrow his. The fifteen or so dollars still disappear from my wallet. If I could find a hard copy, I'd attack that record store right now. Okay. I need food. -Allan post comment

.:: I´ll do whatever it takes...::. [19 Jul 2008|03:42am] catchx22 [ music | 8x01 - X-Files ] I made a bunch of Icons and 2 Banner/Header as well. Actually, or unfortunately, I´m not pretty happy with them. Well, ok, they aren´t that bad, its just, that I haven´t used Photoshop for some weeks now, and for me its always pretty hard to get "used" to it again.

Mamma Mia! [18 Jul 2008|01:41pm] venusunfolding [ music | Abba - Gold ] How hard is it to show two men kissing in a movie? It shouldn't be that hard when it's based on a musical featuring nothing but Abba songs! I think it's ridiculous that they show all the other couples in the movie happy and kissing, but the gay couple just hug. Boo!!! Now that I have that off my chest, the movie was fun. It was campy, over the top, a complete train wreck, but really fun. Despite things like some of the cast being too old to play the characters, or not really having the vocals to do a musical, you could tell that everyone involved had a blast making the movie. Having a cast that's a little too old running around in the hot Mediterranean sun was probably not the best idea either. Early on they abuse the soft focus lens in a way I haven't seen since Lucille Ball tried to play Mame. It almost had that, "So bad that it's good" quality to it. 2 comments|post comment

[17 Jul 2008|10:08pm] asakurasol [ mood | discontent ] [ music | Loveline ] I've outgrown this blog crap.... ....I keed.... That'll never happen. So where have I disappeared to these last few day? Nowhere. I just thought I'd have something more to say if I don't write as often. Guess not. Just drifting through life as usual. It is possible to just do absolutely nothing for an entire day. Well. Yea. I've actually lost interest in keeping you updated with all the nothing that's happening to me (lucky you). I had 3. My goal is 5. I think I'll only keep two? I haven't touched that notebook in a week or so because I just haven't been productive. One song sounds really bad now and I can't fix it. Putting being not cliche aside, this is some really bad shit. Haha. Enough about that I guess. I feel tired all day. I don't really sleep at night. This isn't working out right. But you've heard that a billion and six times. The funny part is I don't hate this anymore. I rather be inside all day doing nothing than being outside around people. It doesn't even matter if I don't know half the people I'm around outside, I just don't feel comfortable being around them. I hope this last month or so will just take its time. I'm starting to dread having to see people and pretending to give a shit about them again. You start ignoring everyone and you're an asshole. You try to kiss everyone's ass, you're no longer yourself. It's a lose-lose situation yo. That's how I think. Really. I need to make another book store run. Milan Kundera is my current favorite author and I need more of his books. Yea. Blah, blah, blah and blah. Oh yes! Fight Club has changed my life! It's funny how you don't understand a movie like that at all when you were like 8. Then you watch it again and it's like seeing the movie for the first time. Then you feel enlightened. Yea. Well, I killed a spider and many other things. Time for this sleep thing again. -Allan post comment

I have the internet again wheee! [16 Jul 2008|07:59pm] thirstyneway [ mood | grateful ] Sorry for my lack of commenting in the past couple weeks. My dad's internet decided to suddenly stop working and then I made things even worse by restarting the computer during a system restore (it was taking forever and I got impatient.) The result ended up being a bunch of files/programs/whatever getting deleted, including the system restore feature so I couldn't even undo the damage I had done. Gah. So my dad did a FULL RESTORE, which pretty much deleted everything we had on here and put the computer back to the way it originally was. Which is a pain in the ass if you consider that all our pictures/bookmarks/certain programs are gone...but hey, at least everything's working now including the most important thing...THE INTERNET. Yay! I have a TON of pictures to share, but one of the programs we lost was my favorite editing program (apparently it didn't come with the computer) so I think I'm just going to wait until I get back to Florida (next Wednesday!!) to post everything. Anyway, that's all I really have to report. Now I'm off to comment on all of your wonderful entries. :) 6 comments|post comment

Matthew Bellamy [16 Jul 2008|09:21pm] totge [ mood | bored ] [ music | The Last Shadow Puppets - Standing Next To Me ] I just love how looks green and red together! :D 28 new icons.

More SPN Icons from me! [16 Jul 2008|05:30pm] lostashleigh [ mood | peaceful ] [ music | Ashes and Wine - A Fine Frenzy (How much do I LOVE this album!) ] I've had these sitting in my laptop for a little while, think it's probably about time to show them to the world because I don't think it's a batch that will get any bigger just yet. But do look out for more Dean/Ruby icons in my "My No Rest For The Wicked" batch coming soon! ;) 18 Dean/Ruby Icons (Nothing spoilery here, I hope, made using mostly promos and what not!)

A Pretty Gay Blog [15 Jul 2008|09:56pm] venusunfolding [ music | Liza Minnelli - Results ] I got two happy things today. One is that these arrived in the mail. It's the first 9 books in Jim Butcher's Dresden Files series in 4 hardcovers. I love the cover illustrations, and can't wait to tear into them! Matt and I saw Wall-E after we got off work (rant and review in a second), and then we stopped at Half Price Books. I had a coupon, and was thrilled to find this... Judy Garland: The Complete Decca Masters, 4 cds of Judy! I also picked up Liza: Live From Radio City Music Hall, and Tony Bennett and K.D. Lang's A Wonderful World. I've been on a Liza kick this week. Her album Results has hardly left my ipod. Matt really wanted to see Wall-E, and I was ambivalent because I don't share everyone's love for Disney/Pixar films. Give me old fashioned animation like The Little Mermaid any day. The Pixar stuff is cute, but doesn't really do it for me. The movie was entertaining. The Hello, Dolly! stuff really made me laugh, and was probably my favorite thing about the whole movie. Here's my rant. I wanted to see a cute kiddie movie. I didn't need a thinly veiled lecture about the state of the world. I get it. If we keep going the way we are, people will all be fat, have no human contact, and the Earth will be overrun with garbage. It was right up there with going to Signs thinking you were seeing an alien movie, but then you realize it all some allegory about having faith. Well, except that Wall-E was fun, and Signs was a pile of poo. 2 comments|post comment

Hola! [14 Jul 2008|05:14pm] princesskelia [ mood | content ] you will never be added~

[14 Jul 2008|02:42pm] artchick94 Wow so it seems that I haven't made an update of any signifgance in a couple weeks. Sorry about that folks. I'll just do a kinda quick rundown of things then. *Weekend of July 4th* - Nothing much really happened this weekend. I spent the 4th at home doing nothing. I have also come to the conclusion that the guy who asked me out on a date really had no intention of following through with such plans after he asked me. I think I am going to just cut him loose and look elsewhere. - Saturday the 5th, I pretty much spent most of the day at Mom and Dad's house. They wanted to celebrate my birthday then because no one was really doing anything. The whole family was there...including Charlie and of course I held him for a while. This time he was wide awake for a change so it was nice to see his eyes (which I'm thinking are blue but it's still a little hard to tell). New pictures have been added to my Flickr site so you can go here to have a look-see as I'm too lazy today to post any in here. Mom made my favorite dinner...Southern Baked Pork Chops...mmmmm....and of course she made me a birthday cake too...red velvet this time as opposed to the usual chocolate cake. I thought it was time for a change for once. Charles and Amy also brought their Wii system so we played some video games, including one of the ones that they gave me for my birthday (even Dad played a game or two!). From them I got The Simpsons Game and Deca Sports for my Wii system. From Mom and Dad I got a couple casserole dishes, some medium serving bowls which i so desperately needed really, 3 of Rachael Ray's Mopini's (towels with pot holders on opposite corners), and a Belgian Waffle maker. There were also a few other little things they got me for my kitchen as well. - Sunday was jsut a day of rest for me again. *The rest of the week til now* - Tuesday was my 32nd Birthday and for the most part it was pretty much a quiet day for me. Everyone at work was asking me why I didn't just take the day off. Well I usually only take the day off when my birthday falls on a Friday or Monday so I have a long weekend. Besides....it's not like there's much going on here at the moment either. Thank you to everyone who sent me birthday wishes through here, MySpace, and Facebook (even the belated ones...Melissa =P~). They certainly brightened up my day =D. - Friday the 11th was a short work day for me....as every Friday has been since Spring. I got home around 2-ish and ended up taking a nap because I was tired for whatever odd reason. Then Kristin got to my place because she was taking me out for my birthday. She also gave me my birthday present! She got me a box of crackers, two cheese spreads, two summer sausages, a booze measurer, a set of swizzle sticks (with little cocktails on each of them!) and a set of cocktail glasses...most of it came from World Market as well and I absolutely love that place! I should try and make a stop there one of these days since it's been a while. After the gift horde-fest we were starving so we headed over to Red Robin for some mighty tasty burgers. I actually had a Buffalo Burger...as in Buffalo meat...and it was very good and not really all that different from regular beef. I heard Buffalo meat is also leaner than beef too...but it was hardly noticable since the burger was juicy. After dinner we went back to my place and played some video games on the Wii while our food digested. I do have to say though that I was wearing down fast because of my full belleh LOL. All in all we had a great time like we always do =D. - Saturday, I went and got highlights in my hair. I got some subtle, caramely highlights just to lighten up my hair some. It's really not all that noticable unless you're really looking at my hair. I like it though but I might try and go a touch lighter the next time. I need to get touch-uops every 4 months but that's not too bad really. After I got my hair done I made a couple quick errands to Best Buy (got Guitar Hero: Aerosmith) and Borders to exchange a cookbook Mom and Dad gave me for my birthday but I already had and I got the new Nora Roberts book instead...yet I still have like 3 bucks in a store credit to use. I was hoping that they would have Laurell K. Hamilton's Merry Gentry series, but I couldn't find it anywhere and I would like to actually own those books since I had borrowed them from a friend to read them. I'll try looking for them later. I have time since the next book isn't out until the end of November (and Laurell just finished writing it over the weekend....she blogs on her writing progress on MySpace). After all that I headed over to my brother's place to hang out with them...and to get some movies from my brother that he had downloaded since I had seen him last. Of course I held Charlie for a while...he was like a wriggly worm too HAHA. While Charlie napped the rest of us (my brother, Amy, and myself) played some video games. I had brought over my Guitar Hero because my brother wanted to try it...and he fails at playing the guitar. I guess that's why he played the drums in high school HAHA. Then we played Wii games. At one point Charlie was hungry so my brother and I played the boxing game while Amy fed him...and I kicked his butt...and Amy was cheering me on HAHA. I headed home later that afternoon and just crashed for the rest of the day. - Yesterday was a day of laundry and other various chores (which I ran out of steam on come the afternoon HAHA). I did however, make Pecan Belgian Waffles for breakfast with my new waffle maker and they were yummy. Today I'm sitting here at work just working on little piddly things while I STILL wait for some artwork to come through so we can finish an order that we received last Monday. This is actually going to be a short work week for me too because I'm taking Friday and Monday off and taking a trip down to visit my Grandparents since it's been a while. Well I think that's about it for now. Have a good day y'all! post comment
