So, in between bandom and good music, there is life in there somewhere; about this I do write :-)
Things are finally going in a direction I can be happy with, for once. I'm not really sure if it was any different before, to be honest, but I was just depressed for no reason, so I told myself, "Cheer up, emo kid." Even though I'm decidedly not emo, lol. So, yes, I'm happier :-)
Sunday officially marks my last day of freedom, then Monday I start my psych class at college, which I'm surprisingly stoked for. Just the prospect of having a more mature learning environment is very appealing, even if it isn't one of the more premier community colleges I'm attending, but I'm saving precious money by doing general education there, so I'm cool with it.
Sam is taking classes too, but I won't be in any of hers :-( But she's already started, aiming to be an elementary school teacher, and she's all giddy about it. And her and my bro John just got back from visiting her family in Arizona, and she got most of the rest of her stuff to bring back home here, so she's playing show and tell. It's cute XD She also brought me this black skirt with white trim, you know, those one piece kind that look like they belong in diners? It's like that. She thought it'd fit me, and it probably will, but I'll probably wear it on Halloween or on the weekends or something, just for a bit of fun.
I feel better about wearing something like a skirt now because since about six weeks ago, I've lost ten pounds *w00t* Go me. It's a lot easier to loose weight when the local Chinese take out places just got really shitty at making orange chicken, so I'm perversely grateful, lol. I'm eating less often and not as much food, too, so that helps :D
Also, I've got my first modship on LJ! *huzzah!* Erin (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
thevelvetsun) contacted me to be a mod at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
goodbandfic, and my application was approved. Come and have a looksee, people, but beware, we're looking for good fic, like, you have to be above mediocre to post. We're trying to get away from the masses of average fanfic, people--this is a stick up, give us the good stuff. Yes, it's modded membership, like damnyouwentz, but at least we're accepting members. If you're rejected, it's nothing personal; we're just looking for better quality fic. And I quoth Erin: If all you're looking for is a high comment count on your stories, this might not be the best place for you.
That's the word, heed it well ;-)
But don't let it put you off from applying, get out there and drop us a line, writers! Everyone's allowed to watch the comm as well <3
On the music front, I'm proud of myself for not being as wanky about the Geetard situation as I most definitely could be, and it'll stay that way. I'll let everyone else bitch about it and you won't see another word on the subject here. I'll just be over here listening to FOB and getting my happy on, kthxbai. Otherwise, I'm getting my tickets for the Young Wild Things Tour ASAP, and I'm thinking about seeing The Decemberists again in LA at the end of November, given I have money and someone to go with me. Maybe I'll try to get the same crew together as last time, if they're not busy. Also, I'm thinking of checking out Killswitch Engage. Their video for their cover of Dio's "Holy Diver" is fucking hilarious, and I'm kind of in love with the singer's voice, so they seem chill.
Another note, and I feel I MUST say this. While I'm overjoyed that they did a cover of "The Weight" in concert...*listens to new Panic! songs* *is not impressed*
I just put about another two hundred songs on my iTunes, courtesy of The White Stripes and Foo Fighters. I know I'm late to the party on those bands, but I've repented and am ready to bask in the awesomeness.
Two last random things before I leave you all. First, anyone here into Demetri Martin? He contributes to The Daily Show, but I watched his Comedy Central special "Person." and bought his comedy CD "These Are Jokes", and he's seriously made of win, people. He has this flighty, subtle, ADD style of comedy, moving fluidly from subject to subject with accompaniment of guitar, harmonica, piano, and unnecessary bells he plays with his feet XD And he's adorkable. Here's a small sample of a typical joke:
"I was on the train and I heard this guy say to his friend, 'Man, I'm really good at checkers.' Which is the same as saying, 'Man, I'm not good at a lot of things...I suck at everything except checkers...King me, dawg."
LOLTACULAR
He's very low energy and let's your brain catch up with the joke. Do yourselves a favor and check him out.
And I'm either super awesome or pathetic for reaching a new level of geekitude.
Blue argyle, bitches.
So, to recap, I'm happy and snuggly with my Mac. How are you all? Let me know.

P.s. Good luck at college and I hope you have fun there...not too much fun, but y'know what I mean?
*HUGS*
no subject
I'm not the type to really try anything, if that's what you mean, but I'll be having fun, no worries :-)
*SQUEEZES*
no subject
Nah, I know you're responsible enough, by reading through your LJ entries, to know that you wouldn't attempt anything outrightly stupid.
But then again, who am I to judge you on what you do and don't do? It's your life, so I'm not the one who's supposed to dictate how it goes :P
And anyway, who would take advice from a 14 year old?
xD
no subject
Oh come on, I'd listen to you :D I myself was awesome when I was fourteen, and you actually are rather level headed and actively resist being a teenybopper, so it seems, so if I was doing something stupid I'd expect at least someone to say something.
no subject
Ah, thank you very much for telling me that. I do admit I act like a spaz sometimes and it's a miracle no one's said anything to me xD
But if I do act out of line, do tell me. I wouldn't be offended at all :]
AND ARGH, I WAS SUPPOSED TO READ YOUR PXP FIC ALL THIS WEEK BUT I'VE BEEN SO BUSY WITH CHINESE TUITION AND OTHER RANDOM STUFF SO I APOLOGIZE PROFUSELY AND HOPE YOU WON'T BE ANGRY WITH ME >.<
P.s. I am mentally giggling at the fact that you're so self-assured that you were awesome at 14 xD
no subject
Oh no, I love the enthusiasm, if anything, keep capslocking, lol.
OH NOEZ! Well, for when you do, there's a ton of it. Besides The Phrase That Pays, there's one with magical realism, two from a prompt
And I'm so not mad at you for not reading, it's not like I'm cracking a whip or anything. Take your precious time
go read now go read now go read now yay subliminal messagingPsshh, on a scale of one to awesome, I'm still the shit :D
no subject
Make your hubby fool around with a camera as best as you can, if you fail at first, try, try again?
xD
LOLZ, I EXPECT YOU TO WEAR THE PANTS IN THE RELATIONSHIP ANYWAY.
I WOULD READ IT RIGHT NOW, EXCEPT THAT IT'S 2:34 AM WHERE I LIVE AND I HAVE SCHOOL TOMORROW, I DID TAKE A NAP IN THE AFTERNOON THOUGH, SO I'LL TRY MY BEST :D THOUGH I MIGHT WANT TO PUT THAT OFF BECAUSE SINCE YOU'RE SO DEAR TO ME, I WOULD LIKE TO COMMENT WELL.
...You need professional help with that *low* self-esteem of yours, that's all I have to say -_-
P.s. Can I be hired as your wedding planner? Not that I'll try to steal your husband or anything...
*grins like a lunatic*
But you really need better presents than that :P

Holy god, chick, go to bed, gosh. I want to to liiiiive, damn you, and not be eaten alive by lack of sleep and/or school. I can totally wait, seriously. The PxP comm mods are slow and I still haven't blacklisted them, so you're in the clear. Go forth and sleep.
I prefer not to have an ego about things, but it is getting to be a bit of a problem. I need an intervention -__-
Consider yourself hired! I like roses and the color green a lot. Patrick likes anything I like. I've seen to it >:) *pets him*
