Fri, 05 Nov 2004 12:46:23 GMT

Today definately didn't have enough potential for me to go to school.

I think maybe it was too cold outside.
Or its a Friday..and I wanted a 3 day weekend.
Or Or OR its cause I didn't want to go to that shit school to see all the assholes that occupy it.

I don't know. I honestly don't care either. So either way, I didn't go to school today. And now I'm gonna sit at home and waste my life away when I could easily be getting a valuable education. Deal.

Everyone has been pissing me off one way or another lately.
I've been asking my parents to move.
They keep on insisting I go to Colorado for awhile.
I'm seriously debating it.
Pros vs. Cons.
I love Colorado, but if I go now...for one, it'll be snowing like crazy in less than a month...And I'd have to start school in the middle of session.

I don't know.
I hate people who write crap like I've written today. Yet, I still do it.

I have a few things on my mind today that need to be resolved.
And of course, I need a job.

That IHOP application won't know what hit it.

Sat, 16 Oct 2004 05:28:06 GMT

Last night was AMAZING.
Although. I was sick for the whole thing.
On the way up to springfield, I had Eric pull the car over on I-95 so I could well..throw up. I was that sick.
We took the metro into DC.
"Its black anthrax" Haha.
We got to the 930 club and waited outside with all the other Stafford kids.
Got in.
The first band, Three. They were very talented instumently. But their music itself wasn't that good. At least to me.
UnderOATH played an incredible show.
As well as Coheed and Cambria.
I was in the crowd for Coheed, but during their second to last song, I had to get out..Being in a hot, sweaty group of people wasn't really making me feel better.
The crowd always chants Coheed after they finish a show, and they never let us down. They come back and play at least one more song, if not more. I love them. They did it back in April, and they did it again this time. But anyways, after that we left.
It was like 12.
We had to go down to McDonald's to get my purse out of this guy Greg's trunk.
We were gonna get something to eat before Maddie reminded us that the last metro was at 12:20 or something like that.
We grabbed our stuff and hauled ass down the street.
When we got to the metro station, and before we head down the stairs, there's this guy on his cell phone and Eric yelled to him asking him if it was still running. The guy said no.
Eric whipped out his cell phone and started calling everyone that was at the show to see if they could give us a ride to Springfield metro station..But they either had no room in their car or were already out of DC.
When Eric was on his cell phone trying to get a hold of people, I started making small talk with the other guy that was there.
I found out that he also was from Stafford and missed the metro too.
Oh, and his name was Sebastion.
Well, Sebastion was waiting on his friend to call him back whether or not he could pick him up. And we asked if we could bum a ride to Springfield if he did. He said sure, he just had to wait for his friend to call back.
So its like 12:30 - 1 am at this point, and we're all freezing our asses off outside an African American museum in Northwest Washington, basically stranded there.
As we're just sitting there, these two other girls show up. Found out they missed the last metro too.
They used my phone to try and call people. But no luck.
We decided to hail down a cab and see how much it would cost.
The other two girls were heading to Alexandria
Oh and were named Amanda and Stepphie.
So we hail down this cab driver, from like Kenya, and we barely could understand him but he saids that it'll cost us $55 bucks to take Amanda and Stepphie to Alexandria the me, Eric, and Sebastion to Springfield.
So we all cram into this cab.
And in the car, we are just chitchatting, getting to know these people we're sharing a cab with after all of us saw an amazing concert. Turns out we're all from Stafford, and we all knew each other from mutal friends somehow. It was crazy!! We were all saying that it was a night we were gonna remember..
Well, we dropped off the two girls and started to head to Springfield..
BUT....I got sick in the cab..And the driver pulled over...and I threw up outside the cab. Haha..It sucked at the moment, but I think it's funny now.
We get to the metro station.
It took us 10 minutes to realize we weren't on the right level.
Found our cars.
Said goodbye to Sebastion..
And did 120 mph coming home.
Got home.
Stuffed my face.
Didnt even shower, I just crashed.
Definately woke up the next day and showered for like a hour.

It was crazyyyyyyyy! I loved every minute of it.

Just wanted to update before I pass out or something, since ya know..it is 4am.

Well I thought I was gonna get a ride up Woodbridge from Brian but he bailed. I called my brother thinking there wasn't a chance, but holy crap he was going up there too. I knew I was gonna have to get their early cause I was on other people's time schedule and since the show started at 5:30, I was gonna be bored as hell. I ended up staying with my brother for awhile. We went looking at cars and then we decided to go to Potomac Mills. My goodness. He's a slower shopper than me. I finally got to Eastcoast at exactly 5:30. Walked in. No one was there, cept for Mikey and like 3 other guys. Sat there for 2 and a half hours and watched other people show up. Not to mention, most of the bands dropped out. Yeah. Anyways. It came down to 4 bands playing. Downtown Singapore, Likewise, As Tall As Lions and some other band that I didn't really like so there name doesn't matter. The other bands played really good. I got me some merch. I'm happy. I could actually afford stuff today. Which reminds me. I need a job.

Theres a really good show at Shooter's this Saturday. I'm definately going.

Tue, 05 Oct 2004 00:18:22 GMT

welllll. haven't been able to get online in a couple of days.

i has ISS last thursday. that sucked. I was the only white kid. let alone, only girl.

friday. went to sposy mall to pick up jessica. ended up saying there for like..3 hours. came home and went to the towne center. i wasn't too ethusastic about going cause the towne center always ending up sucking..but we got there. called them they were at king street blues. and by them, i mean mary, dan, big boy (bobby o.), courtney, john, and wayne. justin showed up later. we sang happy birthday for mary, and because king street blues didn't have a birthday cake thing, we just held out our lighters so she could blow those out. anyways. alot of kids showed up friday night. i don't know why.

eric, matt, chris, david, bobby m, eddie, ryan, josh, ben, brian, and other people i can't remember.

me, jess, eric and matt went back to my house. we went back. hung out for like a little be longer, than me, court, jess and chris went BACK to my house. made a phone call. left again. drove around. ended up at ryan m. house at like 12 ish.. bored as shit! my mom was trying to trick me. it worked. we came home. we were gonna go out later, but we ended up falling asleep before that happened.

jessy left in the morning. then court did. i was extremely bored and figured i wasn't going anywhere so i showered. before i knew it, matt and eric were at my door..and me being in a shower, i told them to come back in 20 minutes.
We left and had no where to go. Went to Colonial Forge after almost getting in an accident. Went to B Hams house. He wasnt home. Ate at Subway. We were just gonna go to Eric's house but we ended up driving around the harbor and finally stopping at Joanna's house. Matt tried on all her clothes. Left. Eric dropped off Matt, then me. And I definately fell asleep early. and missed a buttload of phone calls. Oh well.
Sunday. Usual.
Monday. Didn't feel like going to school. I didn't. Found out Richard didn't either and that pissed me off cause I slept all day thinking I was the only one who didn't go. But Oh well. And since we're up to speed. I'm leaving.

Wed, 29 Sep 2004 06:15:44 GMT

mother fuck brooke point. i have ISS on thursday.

Wed, 29 Sep 2004 05:23:00 GMT

Today at school sucked beyond belief.

Afterwards. It was raining all day today. And by raining, I mean pouring. I loved it. I came home from school, showered, and waited around till the show. I talked to my bro, Victor about possiably going see Norma Jean on Wednesday. He had to think about it cause he didn't know if he had to go back to Iraq or not. I missed Converge and Between the Buried and Me on Monday, so I'll definately be happy if I go see Norma Jean.

Anyways. Eric got Matt then they swung by my house and picked me up. We chilled here for about, oh 10 minutes before we went to Bella's to get some soda. It wasn't even 5 so we were trying to waste time. We gave up on that and just started heading down to Fredricksburg. Got pulled over on the way. No ticket, Just a warning. Thank God.

"He seemed cool, I think I'm gonna vote for him"

Got to Shooters. Definately didn't see anyone really. We called up Cartwright to see if he was going. He had to work. Called up Hamilton. We had to pay for him. No big deal. So we waited for Bobby to show up. Bobby can't tell time. Matt had to wait for Nathan to show up, cause he was promised to get in free cause he handed out flyers. Soon people I actually recogonized started to show up. Francis, Kyle, Nathan, Mike, Adam (Julia's roomate), Bobby, Eddie, and Josh G. showed up too. We were just hanging out outside for awhile and I saw Mikey. I haven't seen him in like almost 2 months..And I actually thought he was beginning to hate me. Long story. But we hugged and everything and I was happy that there wasn't any bad vibes between us. He said I looked good, which was a surprise since I looked like crap because of the rain. Anyways. We all went in. Just hung out. The first band BLOWED. They don't even deserve their name remembered by me.

I kinda felt stupid, cause at first I didn't have a ride home and I wanted to ask that Adam kid if my sister Julia was coming so I could ask her for a ride, but I didn't know him so I felt weird going up to him asking him..I feel weird talking to people I don't know. And I'm a rather quiet person anyways. But I've met Adam a couple of times, but he definately doesn't remember me. He remembered my shirt only cause Julia had it for 2 months.. It made me feel dumb, and like..Julia's kid sister...It was wierd. Definately didn't know why I shared that.

Edge of Hope and In This Life defintately didn't play. I was beginning to think I wasted 8 bucks.. But Francis and Kyle assured me that Misery Signals was worth it. We went out to Kyle's car to hear them before they played. They were right. They was pretty awesome. Basically, pretty bummed that EOH and ITL didn't play, but the show was full of good vibes. Ended up being worth it.

I was suppose to go to Phillies with Matt and Eric afterwards, But I just came home cause I didn't want Eric to drive me all the way back to my house when he was passing it anyways.

I still need to talk to Victor about Norma Jean tomorrow cause I'm pretty sure he isn't going back to Iraq. I need money. I need a job. Bob Evans definately didn't hire me and for that, I feel like..dumb. Cause Bob Evans didn't hire me. Hah..

Mon, 27 Sep 2004 15:07:57 GMT

I'm in 4th right now. Boring. I told Rachel what I had to tell her, she didn't seem to care. Should I be surprised? No. How can her and Bobbby act so different.

My weekend...Lets just say, I hate closet sluts, users, and walking. End of story. I'm not explaining ANYTHING.

I like walking at night when the moon is bright.

Sat, 18 Sep 2004 06:57:40 GMT

Happy birthday Ronin!

i love you kid.
