Okie dokie....I finally remembered that I HAVE done something over the past couple of days!!! lol :roll:
I made a new website! It's still REALLY not done, but I think it's okay...
Pretty soon, it's gonna have some of my art up on it, plus some photos I've taken and the comic strip I'm working on (I've been working on the comic strip for about 2 weeks now....it could've been done in about 3 days (max.), but I've only been doing about a cel every other night, lol). So that should be interesting.
So, PLEEEEAAASSEEE go check it out!! Here's the URL:
...What are you supposed to do when you're watching your life-[b]everything[/b] you've worked so hard to achieve; everything you've come to know and love-fall apart, and there's nothing you can do to fix it?......
Ahhh, don't you love my most creative title? haha.
Today was actually a good day! Beverley (best friend, for those of you just tuning in) came back from South America, and I got to hang out with her today...very fun. SO! I'm gonna give you all another peek inside my head (and I'm thinking that these thoughts are the result of what mood I'm in...these ones'll prolly be more upbeat--I don't really know what I'm gonna write until I'm writing it; you guys get to read my pure, unfiltered thoughts as they pop into my head! ha!) On to the thoughts!:
-The Days is the best show ever created. You all should watch it. Sunday nights, 10pm on ABC. The show's about a family (whose last name is Day; hence the title), and in just the first episode, the daughter (17 yrs old) gets pregnant, the middle son (15 yrs old) beats up the daughter's boyfriend for getting her pregnant (and gets a 2 day suspension from school for doing that), the youngest son (they don't really say how old he is....I think he's, like 10) has a panic attack in the middle of a test, the mom find's out SHE's pregnant, and the dad quits his job....yay disfunction!!! haha, it's great tho....I've become obsessed, lol....go watch it!!!!!
-If rebel is the "in" style today, then what are the rebels, who rebel and wear whatever the "popular" people [b]aren't[/b], then what will the rebels wear NOW???? So very confusing...I think that they all just keep on wearing what they normally would wear....but then again, what would that be??? haha, confusing ^^
-Bye bye, beautiful-don't bother to write...disturbed by your words, and they're calling all cars; face step, let down. Face step, step down....yeah....Coheed and Cambria....tis a very good song that I'm listening to right this second :)
Well, that's all for now (I didn't really feel like writing a lot.....I'm very bouncy at the moment!....too much energy, lol). Night everyone!!!
Yeah, skateboarding IS harder than it looks, believe me! lol
I figured that out before I even got on a skateboard for the first time, since my younger brother skateboards all the time and sometimes he has a tough time with it (but he's awesome, lol).
Lately, I've been trying to learn how to skateboard, because the summer is really the only time that I have to practice, and I've been wanting to learn how to skateboard ever since I saw my brother start doing it (when he was like 9 years old...and I'm a year older than him!!)...but I haven't practiced in FOREVER. I can't even do anything except ride around, lol
Today Johnny (being the great brother that he is) said that he would teach me how to ollie (I asked him if he would, and he agreed....although I think the only reason he agreed was because he had noting better to do :P). So that was very interesting....
It was really odd...on the concrete, I just couldn't do it...my brain kept saying "move idiot!!!! do it!!! jump!!! do SOMETHING!!!!" but my legs wouldn't move, lol....I kept visualizing me kicking the board up and it smacking me in the face and breaking my nose or something So then John said I could probably do it in the grass, so I started doing it in the grass, but then it got too hot, so we both decided we'd continue (and have me FINALLY try and ollie on concrete) tomorrow...that should be REALLY fun :roll:
lol, I envy all of you who can ollie...and more. You guys rock.
Wish me luck!!
The Thoughts I Recite That People Are Afraid to Comment On...
Back with more thoughts...Just random ramblings that happen within the shallow depths of my mind, lol Once again, remember that these thoughts are completely random...I write what pops into my head, and most of these thoughts are in no way connected...
-I must confess...I haven't said very much about my life in this blog for one reason and one reason alone: I don't want anyone's sympathy for me. It's bad enough that I feel bad, but it would make it worse if I made any of you feel bad for what I've said. I apologize for not telling you some of the most important details in my life, but believe me; it's better this way.
-Metallica is a horrible band. I can't stand them. The only song by them that I've ever liked is "Nothing Else Matters"...I can't understand why anyone would like them otherwise (the only reason I wrote out this thought is because I'm listening to "Nothing Else Matters" right this second).
-Now that I'm thinking about music, why is it that the best bands are the ones that nobody has ever heard of? Shouldn't THEY be on the covers of the magazines? Then again, at least they're not sell-outs or posers like most of the "top" bands today...
-Why is it that I can never hold a decent, intellectual conversation over the internet? One of the last conversations I had online started out good, and the person seemed sane and nice enough, but when I declined to join her Linkin Park fan club, she accused me of being a poser and a million other things, even saying that I hate Linkin Park (which I don't, and I had told her this, because her transition into the subject of asking me to join the fan club was by first asking me if I liked Linkin Park)...I can't stand those kind of people...well, maybe she was just your everyday schizo...I may never know. Anyhow, I have yet to find someone who I can really talk to in depth...
Hmm....Apparently, my blog has been viewed 1500 times...0.o
Ahh, 1500...what a nice, round number, don't you think? Thanks to everyone who read my blog ^^ I hope you enjoyed it!
Anyways, I've started reading an awesome book called "A Density of Souls" by Christopher Rice (yep--he's the son of the famous novelist Anne Rice). I think that if I were to describe it to you, I might give some parts away, so I'll just copy the summary they have in the book:
"'A Density of Souls' is the story of four young friends in New Orleans whose lives are pulled in drastically different directions when they enter high school. Meredith, Brandon, Stephan, and Greg, once inseparable, are torn apart by envy, secret passion, and rage. They quickly discover the fragile boundaries between friendship and betrayal as they form new allegiances: Brandon and Greg gain popularity as football jocks and Meredith joins the bulimic in-crowd, while fragile Stephen is treated as an outcast and is the target of homophobia in a school that viciously mocks him. Their struggles are fueled by generations of feuds and secrets hoarded within their opulent Garden District homes, and soon two violent deaths disrupt the core of what they once shared.
Five years later the four friends are drawn back together as new facts about their mutual history are revealed and what was held to be a tragic accident is discovered to be murder. As the true story emerges, other secrets begin to unravel and the casual cruelties of high school develop into acts of violence that threaten an entire city. Bold, richly plotted and gripping, 'A Density of Souls' is a stunning debut novel."
I haven't gotten that far into it (only checked it out of the library today), but as far as ive gotten (page 92 of 274), it's an awesome book.
Unfortunately, I already know who is going to die and how they're going to die, because my friend Sonya in Germany was the one who wrote to me telling me about the book, lol.
Just as a bit more information on it, I would say that this book would have an MPAA rating of R for bad language (they say fuck a lot--yay fun!! ^^), violence, and some sexual stuff. I would recommend it to teenagers especially (because there is a LOT of stuff teenagers can relate to, and you don't have to decypher the language--it's easy to understand), but also to adults because it's a damn good book!! It's really well written, too-it all just flows together so beautifully!
Okay, that's all for now...I COMMAND YOU TO GO OUT AND BUY/CHECK OUT "A DENSITY OF SOULS" BY CHRISTOPHER RICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!
It's all questions about me to see if my friends know a lot about me. Even if you have no clue who I am, you could take this quiz to GET to know me (because it shows the answers), so if you want to, take it:
Well, not a lot has been going on lately, but my mind has been going at a million miles a minute. So blah. You might actually be surprised at some of the things that I think about...I hope this shows you all this other, secret side of me. So, these are my thoughts turned into words...none of the separate thoughts have anything to do with each other...it's just a bunch of randomness (and you KNOW I'm gonna keep adding on, so keep checking my blog for more thoughts!):
--Being mean is a waste of time. Being morbid, on the other hand, is just plain entertaining ^^
--You know those perfect moments where everthing in the world is right and nothing can bring you down? I wish I could freeze those moments and save them...or at least be able to go back to them when I'm feeling down.
--I think that deep down, people made up "cliques" just so that we can all feel some kind of pain to reassure us that we're human...which is wrong, but understandable, to some extent....but I still think that God should be the only one who is allowed to judge people....or maybe not even God...I'm not sure...because if everyone thinks that God is the only one allowed to judge people, other people might become jealous and decide to judge anyways....
--I really wish I knew the TRUE meaning of life...but if I ever learned it and I was still "living", my head would prolly explode, so, then again, it's probably best that I don't find that out...I don't understand life and I don't understand death...I just hope that I can make the best out of it.
--I miss my family...my REAL family...the one I had so many years ago when my parents were married to each other, they didn't fight, and my family didn't have money problems...that was heaven...this is hell.
--Money is most definitely the root of all evil. Think about it. If there was no such thing as money, there would be no school or work, for one thing...there would be no need to have a job just so that you could provide for your family, and there would be no school to train for those jobs. Basically, every problem aside from health-related and inborn issues is, in the end, caused by money.
--What happens if you find the one person that you are truely meant to be with, and you don't realize it, so you decide not to be with them, and you never see them again in your entire life...how is that fair?
--I wish there was a way to make all of the rotten people in the world realize how wrong they've been so that they would stop doing wrong and start accepting life the way it is.
Very deep thoughts, no? Well, I hope that interested you...and I hope that you know me a little better now. My one goal in life is to make as many friends and have as few enemies as humanly possible. Goodnight everyone.
Thank you, everyone who helped me out by giving me advice and information about eyebrow piercings, lol!
Today I got my eyebrow pierced! Yay, lol!
My mom took me to do it (because, if you're under 18 you have to have your parent's permission, and if you're under 16 you have to have your parent's permission AND they have to be there when you get the piercing done...it's a Florida law...), and the guy who did it made me lay down on one of those doctor's office table things (I don't know what they're called, damnit!!! hopefully, you know what I'm talking about), and then he cleaned and put marker on my eyebrow (yay marker!), and then I shut my eyes because I was expecting it to hurt like hell. It felt like I got a shot in my eyebrow (in other words, it hurt, but only a tiny bit), and I thought "okay...he must have only put the needle halfway through or something, and it's gonna hurt a lot in a minute when he pokes it all the way through", and then all of the sudden my mom said "he's done!" and then I thought "what the fuck???" because it hardly hurt at all!
So yeah, that was pretty neat... Then I went to my friend Beverley's house, and her parents are always shitheads when it comes to something they don't approve of, and when her mom saw my eyebrow she said "why would you do that to yourself? it looks like you have stitches or something" and her stepdad said "it looks like you have a piece of hardware in your eyebrow" (to which Beverley said "she does!"), and then he said "here, I'll go get you a screw to put in there"...so they weren't so nice about it...
It doesn't even hurt right now! Only when I have to clean it, which is a bitch...my first attempt at cleaning it left my eye stinging like hell from the antibacterial soap I have to use, lol
Tomorrow, my stepdad's coming home...my mom purposely had me get my eyebrow pierced when he was gone, because she knew that he "wouldn't approve" (her argument being that I'm not his kid, and once I've had it done, there's nothing he can really do about it)...so he'll have a surprise....
And, contrary to popular belief (and comments), I got my eyebrow pierced because I wanted to, not because I thought it was "cool", or someone told me to, and certainly not to gain the attention of the people around me. I'm not that kind of a person.
Tomorrow, I go to Bev's house for her 4th of July party-yay! So that should be fun...adios!
Has anyone ever gotten their eyebrow pierced before???
HAS ANYONE EVER GOTTEN THEIR EYEBROW PIERCED BEFORE????? DOES IT HURT LIKE HELL???? (and if so, FOR HOW LONG???)
I REALLY need to know (before tomorrow afternoon--Saturday, July 3rd!!!!!!), because I'm getting my eyebrow pierced tomorrow! I'm going to go through with it no matter what, but I want to know what to expect!!!
Okay, I'll get to my very...interesting...title in just a moment, lol
This weekend should be fun! My stepdad won't be here!! HOORAY!!! <--spiffy "w00t" emoticon from deviantart.com ^^> He's leaving at about 8am tomorrow, and he won't be back until Sunday. Over the weekend, I'm supposed to be getting my eyebrow pierced (yay!), tomorrow my mom's taking the day off (I like my mom-she's cool, and it's fun to hang out with her), and we're going to rent a shitload of movies, order pizza, and she, my brother and I are going to have a great weekend (WITHOUT MY STEPDAD!!!! :D)
ANYWAYS, onto the reason for the title. I have a picture to share with you all, but first-the description. Let me just get this straight-my scanner SUCKS ASS. When I scanned this picture in color, you couldn't make out any of the details, and it looked just like one big, orange mass. My scanner killed it.
So, instead of giving up, or settling for a stupid orange mass, I decided to re-scan it in grayscale, which shows all of the details, just without the color.
If you want to know what the real picture looks like (completely done in marker, by the way), here's a description within this description:
The innermost part is yellow (at the top there is a palm tree, at the bottom there is a sun), the second largest circle is orange, and the outermost circle is red. The little sunbursts (I don't know what to call them, but you get the idea) on the outer rim are pink, red, orange, and yellow (I made them by smearing marker from my finger onto the paper)...oh yeah, and for any of you who care, my signature is, indeed, written in black, lol
I hope you all can enjoy and appreciate it, despite it's lack of color. It took me awhile to do, and I am very proud of it. Thanks for being patient enough to read this entire description, and here is the picture:

Denis Leary "Sometimes I park in handicapped spaces
While handicapped people make handicapped faces"
"I'm gonna open up my own place. Open my own restaurant and get away from you people. I'm gonna open up a restaurant with two smoking sections; Ultra and Regular, ok? And we're not gonna have any tables or any chairs or any napkins. None of that pussy shit. Just a big wide open black space. And all we're gonna serve is raw meat, right on the bone! And only men are going to eat there, naked men, sitting around a big giant camp fire, and no men's room either. You have to piss, you mark your territory like a wolf! And if some guy has a heart attack from eating too much meat, fuck him, we throw him in the fire! More meat for the other meat-eaters! Yeah!"
