Hi,
I'm sorry that this post doesn't directly relate to TIP but I'm looking for a friend I made on TIP, so I figured if I wanted to try and find her the TIPsters would hopefully be able to help.
Her name is Summer, she's from KY, she posted quite a bit in the earlier days, she was very friendly, she should be anywhere from 18-21, she also might be a college student [I'm not sure if she went through with those plans], she once worked at a daycare...I hope anyone of those things help spark a memory.
I really want to find her. I have her old e-mail address but it says that the e-mail address isn't used anymore. I really miss her. If anyone has any info that would help I'd be forever greatful.
If you have any info that you don't feel comfortable posting please e-mail me at lifexisxtragic@yahoo.com.
Thanks,
Jessica [penguinlover] |

( I say your, i mean any one of you in the band) I mean realistically I know you cant have millions of best friends.. but still.. It would be awsome to know you.

Hi TIPsters!
With the lovely Anna's permission I've decided to post the link to the new LJ writing community I started.
Here's the link:
http://community.livejournal.com/betterwriters
So please join!
It's useful for any type of writing that you may do.
And it's a place to get advice, find betas, or even find a writing partner.
Thanks!

And I swear, it's personal proof that I'm making some kind of progress. It's another story of my own that I actually want to sit and read, another story where I don't hear my own voice in my head reading it to me. Anyway, it was inspired by the Oct. 7th NME article. (For those who haven't read it--since I am cross-posting with my wonderful downloaded posting program to this and my own personal blog--I'll post links at the bottom.) I've read it...goodness knows how many times since then (because he's just so freaking human and brilliantly-minded) but the process pretty much went like this:
Friday: Read the article/stare at the picture until my heart can't take the quiet intensity of his eyes anymore. (Yes, I played the recluse this weekend.)
Saturday: Wake up...and immediately hit the computer to start writing. Don't leave the room to eat/use the bathroom until an hour after I get up (that's how strong the idea was) and then pretty much stay in my room all day working on it. Pause in the writing to go downtown with the family to see Open Season (which is amusingly cute), and then come back to work on it until...
Sunday: Finish the first draft at 5am, crash out. Wake up 5 1/2 hours later and spend most of the day revising. Send it to ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) modern_moonlite for the first post-revision reading, get her seal of approval (which seriously counts for A LOT, let me tell you), and then...post it on DA as "Goodbye".
(Yeah. It's a long-ish short story, and I'm working on another one as we speak, so copy/pasting is kind of...beyond my level of laziness? Sorry. XD)
The reactions I've gotten so far have knocked me on my tush. Or would, if I could stand up long enough be knocked onto my tush. >.> (Ha! I'm sure you don't hear that word often, right? "Tush"?) So I hope you guys enjoy it.

Those are from the text of the article. Now... If you want to see the picture I was staring at occasionally on Friday night, that's here:

I still really love my default icon. Just... I love it. It's pretty. And not just because of who's in it.
Anyway.
More often than not, lately, within my notes for French class (which is like...the only class I'll take notes in), I tend to scribble out these attempts at writing entire paragraphs, based on what we've covered or are currently covering in class. It gives my hands something to do--something that actually helps me learn this language. Naturally, because I have nothing better on the brain at 9:20 in the morning, most of these little practice paragraphs (whoo! allitteration!) end up about my favorite slightly-chubby, artistic, raven haired-turned-blonde New Jersey singer.
Yeah. I know you're all making shocked faces right about now. XD
( Anyway. Notes. Notage... )
So! That's that. I think I'll have some more fun writing about Mikey, though... Almost wish I'd saved more of that AIM convo with Sally...but no. I'm not even sure I saved any of it (because it didn't have any story pieces in it, and I only save chats with pieces of story in it so that I'm not kicking myself hours later, trying to remember greatness XD). But anyway...
( Mikey + French... )
So...anyone taking French can tell me whether or not I've just kind of gotten ahead of myself. XD And just so you know? Michel is the French male version of Michael. So...yeah. |

I was reviewing the list and realized that using the LJ.NET posting thing that I used to...er...post on two journals at once kind of killed some of the formatting. (Like it wouldn't show the "..."'s for some of them.) Chances are, being the writing perfectionist that I am, I'll probably repost the list when I get enough new ones to add to it. But at the moment, things are fine the way they are. (And after reading the ones I wrote up, I realized I guilty of way more than I had originally believed myself to be. XD)
( SO! How about that 7th Avenue Drop, huh? )
Okay. Gushing fangirly moment over. :D I need to proofread my mom's essay for English (yeah, my mom goes to college...shut up XD) and then hammer out some kind of vita for Psychology (vita = educational resume for Psychs), and try to focus on my own English paper...
Or maybe I'll just work on my jacket or write after I finish the vita. ::shrugs:: Who knows?
OH! And...clip from the new video...fantastic so far. Sam Bayer may just get to live to see another year. |

Face it; you all knew that sooner or later, this list was going to show up. I was either gonna find it or write it, but this list was going to appear eventually.
So...in taking a break from sewing, I hammered out what is (according to MS Word) a five-page list. And I'm pretty sure there's way more than this, but we'll start with these. If you have any more, then let me know and I'll add them in an updated entry once I get a good amount.
(Frankly, I'm surprised it hasn't appeared on TIP sooner; I was going to post it on the forums, but I'm not sure how well this sort of thing would be received. So it's here instead.)
So. On to the list!

[Sep. 16th, 2006|10:21 pm] |
Please, read this.
If you value anything you put up on LiveJournal and the Internet, you will click this. They're threatening to give websites like LJ copyright rights to anything we put up on the internet, meaning anything you publish wouldn't be your property. This isn't just a problem for people living in the US, it would be a WORLDWIDE issue if it went into effect.
Please please please read this and go to the petition site. This is what we have to do to protect ourselves. There is no reason to enact this bullcrap, let's make sure they don't. |

[Aug. 27th, 2006|07:52 pm] |
I forgot that I haven't posted here in quite a while so I am going to now. I need some advice from all you fellow TIPsters. Here is the situation:
On the 5th of this month my first boyfriend of over 3 months broke up with me. His reasons included: lack of respect, our grades in college dropping, me being too demanding of his time and his car (like rides), and us just not being "right for each other". He assured me he wanted to stay friends. I was devistated, but I sucked it up and stayed friends with him.
Last week he told me that he had a paper due on Friday (like this Friday past) and needed to be left alone for the rest of the week. I decided to myself (not him) that I should leave him alone until he calls me. Give him all the space he needs. Well, last night I had a minor emergency and called him numerous times and he didn't pick up. This morning, after the issue was resolved, I called a few times to tell him I was sorry for leaving him so many missed calls and to explain the situation. He hasn't picked up all day. Not once. And now I think he is avoiding me.
What do you guys think I should do?
EDIT: Apparently he left his phone in Santa Barbara (where we go to school) while he went to Pasadena (where his mom lives) all weekend and that is why he didn't pick up. |

LJ CUTS SUCK AND DECIDE NOT TO WORK FOR ME.
If I could take everyone from Exeter and bring them home with me, I would. It's hard to believe that everyone there was nice if I tell you they were, but they really were. Minus my friends roomate, who was a bitch, everyone else in the whole school was so nice and genuine and just amazing. It's so hard to explain the pain that I felt as everyone was pulling away on the buses, and how amazing I felt to make a fool of myself on the dance floor, dancing with so many different people *cough* that includes the hottest German kid you will ever meet and the hottest kid from North Caroline you will ever meet *cough*; it was just perfect. That was the best month of my life, and by far the best fucking summer I have ever had. I talked to only one person since I got home, but all my friends are driving/flying right now.
It's hard to think that I'm never going to see some of these people again. Like Mariam. She has to be one of the nicest funniest people I have ever met in my entire life, and of course she has to live in Georgia. The country, not the state. Thats near RUSSIA. Neither of us can afford to visit eachother, and saying goodbye to her was so hard.
I don't think that anyone cared where you were from, or what religion you were. It was a microcosm of the world, in a much more peaceful way. Jewish, Muslim, Christian, whatever, no one cared, no one asked. Whether you were Saudi Arabian or Ugandian, seriously, no one fucking cared. It was just happy and bubbly and there.
To live in that beautiful a place like that campus was for a month with some of the best friends that you could ever make made my sumemr. I feel bad saying living in close quarters with people like I did made me like them more then my friends from home, but it did. Some of these girls that I dormed with have become some of my best friends in the world |

School starts in three days.
Three.
Tres.
Trois.
High school sucks.
In other news I just got back from New York.
That was fun-ish.
Yeah... that's all.
I wish I had something interesting to type.
Like... "I lost all my hair last week from the large amount of nuclear radiation in my basement" or something... but it's been pretty boring around here.
Yeah. That's all folks.
Peace out homedogz.

People, if you haven't gotten Under the Iron Sea yet, you're missing out.
I'm...not entirely sure how I feel about this story. And honestly, I wasn't going to submit it until I'd written a couple other of the shorts I had written down into my notebook. But something kept pulling me back to it. Maybe it's the new habit I've established for myself--the one that says I can't work on a new story until I've finished one that I've started. ::shrug:: Whatever.
Oh yeah, this is...pretty long. 11 pages, according to Microsoft Word. >.> It's also...the fourth short story I've written while I'm here in Puerto Rico. Four, in two and a half months? Four short stories I've actually liked? Not bad, if I do say so!

So! While I'm trying with as much effort as possible to drown out the sounds of High School Musical coming from the next room with Pink Floyd's The Wall, I'm also wasting my time with quizzes. Because who doesn't love online quizzes? Huh? Huh?
Anyway.
( Quizzes! )
That American English quiz was pretty interesting. I kind of knew I'd get "Emo Rocker" on the first one though. It's just kind of easy. (At least, I thought so.)
Also? This place is pretty neat too. ^_^ |

I feel as if I'm slowly losing all of my friends.
It's not like we're fighting, we're just drifting.
I don't want to come home and find out that so much is different and so much has changed. Me and the one person I can tell anything to don't really talk anymore, and when we talk, we have nothing to talk about.
This summer was supposed to be the summer of love, of happy, of everything. And it's true, I like it here, but it is neither love or everything. |

Decided to take a bit of a break with writing and turn my attention to fixing up all these pictures I've been taking while on my trip. It's amazing how quickly they pile up, when you use a digital camera. I still have a whole folderful of photos from a 50th anniversary party that I still have to touch up! Never mind that I still haven't finished the general vacation pictures I've been taking...
But they look pretty sweet so far, though. See for yourselves:

Well, I think i have a chance of seeing that concert. Technically, I have everything planned out pretty well. The only thing is there are a lot of things that are "If". The tickets I found are on eBay, so it's "if" I get the tickets. I don't have a ride yet, so it's "if" I get a ride...I can see the show "if" i get the tickets, "if" they get here in time, "if" i get a ride...I'm cutting it really close. The bidding for the tickets ends on the 13th, and if I win, the show's on the 19th, and the seller lives in Cali. I don't know if they'll make it in time.
I went shopping today. It was pretty fun, but I'm really worn out now.
What else is new...hm...My drumming's coming along, I guess. I drum to "Ghost of You" and some Dresden Dolls stuff. I can do most of "Not Okay" but I get worn out because it's so darn fast.
Not meaning to offend anyone, but this is something that really bugs me. People looking at someone, and judging if they're a poser or not. My friend was in Wal Mart looking at an Amber Pacific cd. Two scene guys walked up to her and asked her if she liked that band. She said "They're alright, I've only heard one song by them." Then they said something like "Take your poser self back to the Bow Wow cds where you belong." Seriously, my friend is definitely not a poser. She knows the most about current rock groups than anyone I know. That just makes me so mad...It also kind of irritates me how people judge by age. Like, if you saw a 13 year old girl at an MCR concert, what would you say? Yes, she might just be there for Gerard looks, but you never know. Okay I'm done now. |

Okay. I just got back from Wisconsin w/ my dad. Everyone talks so weird there. But I am totally going to Lawrence University. That is what I've decided.
Being with my dad is so weird...Maybe it's because I don't have any other sisters & my dad didn't have sisters, but I don't think he really knows how to act around me. Its kind of sad, actually, seeing my friends have these dads that are bascially their best friends, and then my dad, who just sits next to me for hours not knowing what to say or do. Between him working and me being busy, I've never spent this much time alone with my dad in my life.
In other news,
I'm going to the midnight showing of Pirates of the Caribbean tonight. =)
It sucks that I have an 8:30AM cello lesson tomorrow, though. & it sucks even more that I haven't practiced at all.
