"Up to a felony charge can be levied for promoting the use of, or owning more than six dildos."

"Homosexual behavior is a misdemeanor offense."

"It is illegal for children to have unusual haircuts."


Who really has the time to make up laws like this?

I actually have been updating, but they are private. Nobody reads this thing anyway, so I'm not entirely sure why I'm apologizing. Anyway, nothing is new. School is actually semi-interesting. That's actually about it. If anything interesting happens, you'll be the first to know.


I lied. You'll probably be the last to know.

Yesterday I went to the Ace Enders concert at Java Jazz. Ace Enders was headlining, and School Boy Humor, The Dangerous Summer, The Gay Blades (I was really there for them), and PersonL opened for him. The Gay Blades were fantastic as usual although I felt extremely awkward being the only person singing and dancing. Apparently the girl behind me kept giving me dirty looks because I was having a good time, but I guess I should start at the beginning of the concert. School Boy Humor opened up. There were about two people in the crowd. No, I'm kidding, but there really weren't that many. There were about maybe 20 people in the audience. Emma knew who they were, but I didn't, so that made their set go by incredibly slow for me. I got really excited at the beginning when the drummer lit his cymbals on fire. I was thinking,"Oh man. This is going to be good." And then, they started singing. They were okay, but I don't think I'll be checking them out anytime soon. The guitar/vocals guy was extremely cute, but... I'll get to his vice later. Next came the Dangerous Summer, but I kept calling them Danger Summer, and at one point I called them Sugar Monday. They were very good. I'm actually going to check out their website after I finish this. They didn't do anything extremely exciting, but they had good music. Then came the Gay Blades. As everybody should know by now, they are my favorite band ever, and you'd have to be crazy not to like them. They opened with Mean Muses, but nobody knew the song since it was on their EP, so I was the only one singing and flailing around to this song. Clark kept looking at me and smiling, swoon. Then he sang a song from Ghosts, and then went back to the EP to sing Shake the Graves. That was extremely awkward since it just opened with Clark singing quietly and his guitar strumming in the background. I started singing, but I got slightly embarrassed since it was really quiet, and I was the only one singing besides Clark and his guitar. After Shake the Graves, the rest of the set was from Ghosts except for one song which was from the DVD. After the Gay Blades, Emma and I went back to the merch tables. I bought the Gay Blades "Stop Puppy Mills" shirt, the Gay Blades DVD, and then I came back to buy the CD. The merch guy had a bull horn, which he said hello to me with and thank you with. We became best friends since I had exact change for my purchases. Then I waited around for Puppy and Clark. I saw Puppy first and waved to him hello. He waved back at me and I asked him to sign my DVD. He wrote, "Puppy Mills loves you 4N (for never as in tgb4n)" and he drew a heart around his script. Then I took a picture with him, gave him a high five, and went to find Clark. I saw Clark and asked him to sign my DVD. Before he signed my DVD, he said to me "Thanks for singing and dancing along." That made me love him even more. Then he started to sign my DVD, but before he did, he read what Puppy wrote and said to Puppy, "Dude, that is so gay." Then Clark wrote "Clark wants to fuck you more! Clark" and drew a heart around it. Then I took a picture with Clark, and Puppy exclaimed to Clark, "That's the same pose I did with her!" I thanked them and went off to sit down with Emma to wait for PersonL to stop their playing and to allow Ace Enders on stage. Emma then wanted to get a School Boy Humor shirt, so I went with her to their merch table, and I saw him. Remember the cute vocals/guitar guy I was talking about? He was standing by the table taking a picture with a girl, and then I noticed his height. He was extremely short. Shorter than the average girl. Okay, I might be exaggerating a tad, but he was a lot shorter then Emma and me, but what the heck, he was still cute. Emma got a shirt, got it signed, and then I bought a cute little headband from them, and then we went to go see Ace Enders set up. Ace Enders was absolutely fantastic as usual. That was the first time I had seen him with the whole band, so it was quite the experience. I like him better with his band, but he sounds good without them too. I'm listening to him as I type and I'm remembering him on stage, and I've got to say that I like him better live than recorded. Anyway, he was fantastic, and for the ending song he played Bring Back Love. During the song near the end before we repeated Bring Back Love numerous times, he said something I'll never forget. He was saying about how music brings people together to create something nobody can tear down. They play their music purely for enjoyment and not for the money. Music is about unity and allowing you to escape life into a place where anything is possible, and then he said to say Bring Back Love not because he was telling us to, but because we believe in these words. Then we all chanted Bring Back Love, and I was blown away by Ace. He made me love him and his music even more. He made me remember why I love music so much, and I don't think I'll ever forget this concert. After Ace, the concert was done, and I went home to think about what Ace had said, and I advise everybody who reads this and who loves music to reflect on what music does for them. I guarantee that you'll renew your love for music and become more connected to with what you're listening too. I know I did.

Donnie Darko was made for me. The movie, not the person. That movie really just put in all my beliefs about predetermined fate and religion together. It even threw in some of my beliefs about society. It feels good to know that somebody out there is in the same mindset as I am. I really don't have much to add actually, but I feel really enlightened right now. I feel really peaceful. I watched Donnie Darko yesterday, and I watched S.Darko today. They were really similar and very good, but Donnie Darko is my preferred choice. Jake Gyllenhaal was fantastic. I've never seen him play such a dark character. He did a really good job bringing Donnie Darko to life. I also have to commend Jackson Rathbone for playing such a creeper in S.Darko. He did a fine job finding the balance in his character. Other than that, I don't have much to add. I feel way too good right now. I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts.

Twitter has taken up most of my journaling. It's really quite sad. I'll try to make more livejournal entries, but my forte is writing stories, and my creative flow isn't that great right now. I've been making a lot of videos actually. Not very good videos, but videos nonetheless. I'm actually working on one write now, but the quality is awful. I wish I had a better camera, but I don't really want to invest in something I'll use only once in awhile. Videos take up an awful lot of time, and I'm trying to dedicate my time to writing that book I started in December. She still doesn't have a name by the way, but I'm really liking the name Esme Nani. Too weird? She's a city girl, and I get more of a Hawaiian feel from Esme Nani. What are some city girl names? Everything that I throw around in my head sounds too common. I think I'm going to go up to Montrose this weekend and shop around for some names while shopping for some bargains. I thinking Montrose is probably the best place to find unique names. Mental list: Jeans, Flats, Sandals, pins. I've been trying to look for some purple jeans, but not obviously purple jeans, something subtle. I need some new black flats because mine are beat up. It's summer, and that means new sandals as well for lurking around the streets of Montrose with a messenger bag, capris, and a tank top. I also want to get a pin for my plain white bag. I think it would top it off nicely. I've been suggested this pin:

But it's so expensive! I'm definitely going to need some major sales this weekend. I think I'm going to go over to Urban Outfitters' outlet and have a look at their summer sale. $9.99 and up!

Clay "Gaiken" Aiken posted this on his blog which I got from Yahoo Music.

"Now that it's all over, and for the record.... I couldn't be happier about the way AI ended this year. I only turn the show on once a season, and only to see what the set looks like each year. This year, I happened to turn it during the minute that Adam Lambert was singing 'Ring of Fire' and, at that moment, thought my ears would bleed. Contrived, awful, and slightly frightening! I wasn't really a fan and found myself surprised whenever folks told me that they liked him. Granted, I never saw another performance (and many folks who I trust said that he was great) but I can't imagine I would have enjoyed it. Just not my cup of tea at all. To each his own. I never saw Kris sing on the show, but whether he was good or not is really relative. It's usually a matter of taste, right? But Idol is not always a matter of musical taste only. It's about the person you like. From what little I saw, Kris seemed likable. (That's not to say that Adam isn't just as likable as anyone.. maybe more so... I don't know) When Ruben and I were standing next to each other every night (many years ago) you had two equally talented, equally unlikely, equally unpolished contestants.... so it really was a matter of taste as to who was voted for. While some may argue that one of us was hyped more than the other, I don't feel that was the case. However, this year, there was an obvious bias. Not even having watched the show, I can tell you that I was WELL aware of the bias from the judges as to who should win. In my opinion, that is awfully unattractive. I don't think I am alone."

Gaiken is just mad that Adam is open about his sexuality and it took Gaiken forever to finally come out of the closet. GAIKEN IS A BULLY.

I was at Urban Outfitters today with three friends, and I picked up this Where's Waldo travel book to look through. I was talking to my friend Colleen about it, and then as I was putting the book away, and she was leaving, this Bulgarian man comes up to me and says "Is that a picture book?" in a thick bulgarian accent. He was glorious. He had just walked into the store, and he was tall and slim wearing a white button up shirt with short thick hair and glasses. He gave me me a smile highlighting his high cheek bones, and from there, we started a conversation that would only end because of a penis book. Before I was interrupted by my gay friend's attempt to save me, we spent a long time talking about his home country. He was from Bulgaria, and he moved to Alabama, and he taught at the university with his PhD. He moved over to Texas, and he stayed. We talked about colleges, and I didn't think he was flirting with me. So after he asked "Is that a picture book?," and I said yes, he asked if it was a high school thing or an elementary thing. I replied that it was an elementary thing and he jokingly asked if I was in elementary school. I replied with no, I'm in high school, and his face dropped slightly, but he picked it back up and we resumed talking of colleges, his home town, and america. I learned that he was also thirty years old, which also made my face drop, but I followed his example and picked it back up. My friend Laetan came over with a book titled "How To Live With a Big Penis" trying to save me from this glorious ethnic man. His effort paid off, and I bid adieu to the man for I was to never see him again. He left the store leaving without even looking around the store. From then I learned from Laetan that the man was flirting with me, and as my cheeks flushed red, I realized that he was my perfect match, and I would never see him ever again. I could have lost the love of my life, or I could have been saved from getting raped.

I was going to make this entry story-like, but I really need to work on my script. Anyway, I was looking at these close-up pictures of somebody I always thought was really pretty, but after looking at her face for awhile, all of the imperfections in her face became quite prominent. Her nose was a little hooked, she had heavy bags under her eyes, her smile was awkward in every picture. All of these imperfections became grotesque after a moment of examining her photos. It's funny how critical and deceiving the human eye and mind can be.

How tragic. This would have been a fun short story to write. This script is taking too much time from me. Maybe once I'm done with it, I'll come up with an interesting, twisted story that ties in this moment.

My contract is expiring this month, so it's time to get a new phone. I'm not really addicted to my cell phone or cell phones in general, so I think it's a waste if I invest in buying a phone. I've been looking at the free ones, and the LG Shine caught my eye.

It plays music, has a great camera with flash, and not to mention a mirror! It got four out of five stars, and the reviews were pretty mixed.

"About the only thing good I can say is that the battery was great, it looked good, and was solidly built. The joystick was too small, and sensative. It constantly selected things I wasn't trying to select. The text font was very small and fine, making it difficult to read. Couldn't see the screen at all in normal daylight. Sound quality was. . . everyone had a pillow over their face! You needed to use something to push in and extract the memory card, as well as to uncover the memory slot and charging slot! I returned this phone. I would rather use my old, outdated phone than deal with all these issues for two years."

"I got this phone in silver two weeks after it came out. So I've had it for 14 months. I got this phone mainly because of the flash on the camera. It's essential as a flash light. But I do think the speaker is too quiet, the screen is hard to see outside, the joy stick is a bit confusing, and the buttons are small.. (If you've had a razor, and texted successfully, then you'll be fine.. they are just too small and flat.) Now I'm on the internet ALL of the time on my phone, and it works wonderfully. So it takes some time, but if you can work the buttons its an awesome phone."

I text but not too much, and I would think the speaker is essential, so I'm a little on the fence about this phone. I really like the style and camera though. I'll probably just go to the store and test it out. Here's another phone I like as well.

Decisions, decisions!

No, I didn't smoke, and I didn't have sex, but I was at the Rocky Horror Picture Show last night where there is sex and cigarettes. Well, no sex, just sexual innuendoes. Mainly, I just smell like cigarettes because of all of the smoking people at Rocky Horror and Java Jazz. The Gay Blades were amazing! Clark said we look good together, I dissed one of the guitar players from Versaemerge, and I had a great time. Clark is my boyfriend; he just doesn't know it yet.

 The Aquarian:
"If Jet and Hot Hot Heat had a drunken evening of throwdown sex, the bastard child would be The Gay Blades....The Blades have forged forward into the realms of rock stardom."

That's exactly how I feel.

The Gay Blades are fantastic.

Found it! Phew. For a few seconds there I thought it was lost and not misplaced. I'm going to go take a bath with bubbles, rose petals, books, and soothing music. Ahhh, sounds good.

Last night I was convulsing so hard. I have no idea what was wrong. I didn't read myself to sleep for the first time in a very very long time. I'm going to secondhand stores today. Hopefully my soul will be found somewhere. I haven't seen it since Christmas break. I wish that today is better than yesterday. Last day of Fiddler thank God.

( Craiglist Part II )

I should probably make an actual post while I'm at it. I never did say anything about area. I got seventeenth chair out of forty four. It was fun. Other than that, nothing has really changed. For band we are playing Pines of Rome, Glory of the Yankee Navy, and Procession to the Cathedral. I really like Pines of Rome. Writing is not going very well. I went back and read what I wrote, and it wasn't bad, it just wasn't great. I'm thinking of just making her a journal and finding out what she likes. Maybe it'll become easier to name her once I know her a little better. Let's see, anything else? Oh, I'm really liking someone at school, but I think I may be falling a bit to hard. I just know I'm asking for a broken heart which I probably deserve for being stupid, sigh.

I wonder if anybody actually responds to missed connections.

These are not my life experiences just to let you know. You are entering the world of nameless woman in her twenties and leaving mine. These are her emotions, experiences, and conflicts.

I cringed and gritted my teeth to a pulp each time my black and white lambskin Chanel boots hit the puddles on the side walk in New York. The five brand new black buttons caught the bright headlights of the beat up yellow taxi cabs and shined them back to the stand still traffic. I used just about all of my paycheck to pair it up with my early Christmas gift- a black Chanel stretch tulle embroidered dress lined with jersey- given to me from my boyfriend, Eamon. We were taking the subway down to my parents apartment for Christmas dinner.

This sucks. I have no creative flow. I'm AM going to edit this later.

Well, I have to say that this Christmas was very nice and very different. It was the first year my sister wasn't here, so there was not a lot to open this morning. As soon as we finished opening our two presents each, we raced over to my sister's house. I got a Toadies ticket and an iPod dock from my brother, $130 from my parents, The Rocky Horror Picture Show DVD to replace the one I lost from my brother-in-law, and two necklaces from Express and two shirts from Banana Republic from my sister. My sister got a Wii, so we played that and ate good. My sister's fiance's family came over, and we chatted it up with them while we watched my niece open presents. She got at least 20 presents. Probably more. It was a wonderful Christmas. I was really inspired by a solemn mood during the Christmas joys today. It was an absolutely wonderful idea. I'm going to write from the point of view of a woman in her mid-twenties, but I don't know whether to make it like a journal entry or an actual story. Once I come up with a name, I'll get the ball rolling. I have some pretty interesting conflicts for her. Happy Holidays.
