UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH [Apr. 19th, 2007|05:09 pm]

Yes, so I think I might be going crazy.

I am the crow of desperation [Apr. 10th, 2007|02:50 pm]
[Current Music |Brian Eno]

So today in newspaper, Bobby mentioned that quotes from this thing that's supposed to hold my semi-privateish thoughts appear in some search engine thing that one of the dudes from SIPA made. Hurray.

Hopefully that won't encourage anyone else to read this thing, because while I'm not too enthused about people reading it in general, I have no intention of making it private. Because that takes effort. And effort is for squares, man.

So I got the prom thing somewhat cleared up (aka I'm actually going with someone now). Still need a prom ticket and tux which I should REALLY think about getting today. I just know I'm going to end up with some powder blue thing with puffy sleeves.

This is all somewhat ironic since I'm making such a big fuss about an event which in itself I really do not like whatsoever. I'm not the biggest fan of dancing, or big public gatherings, or anything with a dress code, or anything that I'm "expected" to go to. 

But HEY (/Pixies moment). Everyone else is going, so I'm sure as hell not staying home. Three cheers for following the crowd. Hip hip.

I'm thinking of having another little facial hair experiment, since once again I am bored with my face and how it looks. As of now, I'm just sporting a little scruffiness, but I'm not sure if I'm going to take it anywhere or if I'm just going to shave before prom. As tempted as I am to go for the fu manchu, I'm going to think it over a little bit more before I go overboard.

Speaking of Fu Manchu, FUCKING GOD GRINDHOUSE IS THE BEST MOVIE I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE. Well, at least the best retro, semi-tongue-in-cheek, intentionally-gory-and-crass-yet-amazingly-awesome zombie movie and car chase double feature with Rose McGowan and a machine gun leg that I've ever seen in my life. Really though, it knocks 300 the fuck out, stomps its throat, and defecates all over its corpse. It's that badass.

School's coming to a close and I cannot wait for it to be over with and done. I'd rather be locked in my house alone with no food or company or entertainment for a week than spend another week in that soul crushing sweatshop. Melodramatic? Maybe. True? Without a doubt.

With any luck, this summer's going to be rad. So far I've got a road trip and possible camping on the agenda. OH SHIT and I forgot about LEAF. That's in like, a little over a month. I should definitely tell my family about that or something, since I don't know if they'd be cool with me disappearing to live with a bunch of hippies in North Carolina for the weekend without some prior notice. 

Eh, they'll deal.

Gimme, gimme, gimmmme medication [Mar. 30th, 2007|06:00 pm]
[Current Music |David Bowie in my head/The National]

So, after the past hellish week, it's finally spring break, and I'm edgy in a bad way and snotty in a gross way. 

On the bright side, I'm seeing Drive-By Truckers at the Music Farm tomorrow night. Woo, I guess.

Some people have kind of been grating on my nerves a bit more than usual as of late. Not sure if it just feels like it since I've been kind of irritable because of anxiety and allergies/coldishness, but some people just really get on my nerves sometimes. However, I find that the good times generally outweigh the bad with the people that I genuinely like- especially outside of school. Man, I hate that place. There are so many people there that I'd like to know better, but I'm usually so down and nervous and angsty that I just don't generally.

OH WELL, BEST JUST FORGET IT. Avoid your problems and eventually they'll just magically go away, right?

Speaking of problems, prom should be interesting. Still not sure if I'm even going or not. I really don't want to go stag, but I don't know who I'd ask otherwise, considering the only people I could imagine liking enough to ask, I don't know very well.

Meh.

Anyway, here's to looking for stuff to do over spring break! I need ideas, especially since Rhett's out of town and I may go crazy if I end up spending every day with Dave (no offense, Dave - you know you're my man whore). So, here's to that I guess.

Woo.

These days, they're not done [Mar. 11th, 2007|01:26 am]
[Current Music |Third Eye Blind - The Red Summer Sun]

Goddamnit I love Third Eye Blind. 

Today was really fucking great. Woke up, had some breakfast, took a shower, left the house at about 2 PM and didn't come back until about 12:30 AM. 

Hung out with Susan for the first time in forever, met up with Dave and Lindsey and hung out with them with Susan and her sister for a while until they had to leave, then hung out with Dave and Lindsey some more, then went to Bricks to eat right after eating Subway, then stopped by Mosaic for a few minutes to say hey to Ariana and see when I'm working next week, then went to Town Center and learned that the 930 showing of 300 was sold out (WHAT THE HELL?!), saw a couple people from newspaper along with a couple other cameos, finally rushed to Movies at Mount Pleasant to see a 940 showing of 300, and then drove home with everybody and came down from my massive sugar/caffiene high.

And in this fleeting moment, I truly love my life.

If I could change one thing about my high school years, I would have switched to Wando for my freshman year so I'd have a better chance to get to know people, since there really are some great people out there (plus I'd avoid some of the scarring of Bishop England, but that's another story altogether). There are times when I think that I'm alone and sad and pathetic, and that I'll never be able to truly relate with anyone on this earth. Days like today are the times that I realize how much total bullshit all of that is. How much bullshit that I constantly have running through my brain. This is the stuff that I worry about? This is the stuff that's driving me to see a psychologist and pull out my hair and think all kinds of sad, crazy shit? Fuck that. As cliche as it might sound, life's too fucking great to spend it worrying about trivial shit like I constantly do. I use strong language here because this is something that I desperately need to remember, more than just about anything else. Life. Is. A. Wonderful. Thing. So don't spend what little time you have occupying yourself with stupid bullshit. Life is great. Just let things happen like they're meant to happen.

I'm really not tired at all right now, but I don't feel like writing about minute details of my life that really don't matter to me at the moment.

Time to cut the bullshit and see what can come of all of this.

I love life.

All flowers in time bend towards the sun [Feb. 14th, 2007|11:05 pm]
[Current Music |Jeff Buckley]

The horror, the horror.

I should be writing an English essay on the first act of Hamlet right now. And I still haven't written the batch of three essays that were due last week since no one else in my group has given me theirs. 

Man, I just love collaborative schoolwork.

On another note, I don't have to go to school Friday since I'm leaving early that morning to take a tour at Clemson. I'm pretty sure that I'm going there anyway, so it's really just making sure I'm going to be cool with it for the next four years, but because of my slothful tendencies and my apathy it's either that or the College of Charleston, so I'll probably end up going there even if it isn't exactly what I'd hoped it would be.

I'm crossing my fingers.

So-so week so far. Kind of grey. Had somewhat of a freakout moment today, but made a nice recovery a little bit later in the day. Taco Bell is fucking good, even though it kind of makes me want to hurl up a lung sometimes.

I actually wanted to see that damn musical, but I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to now. Shit ass. Ah well, I'll definitely make To Kill A Mockingbird. After all the fuss about it, I'd feel out of the loop if I missed that one. Seriously, I'm kind of amazed that the whole petition thing actually worked. Though, I guess I'm just as amazed that it was deemed as a problem in the first place, so I reckon everything turned out how it logically should. I'm proud of those drama kids, even though some of them annoy me like no one else can.

I gotsta get paid.

A Treatise Of Impeccable Timing And Thought [Feb. 10th, 2007|11:08 pm]

Where do we go? Nobody knows. I've gotta say, I'm on my way down. [Feb. 7th, 2007|09:53 pm]
[Current Mood |tiredtired]
[Current Music |A Rush of Blood to the Head]

God give me style
And give me grace
God, put a smile upon my face.

Yeah, Coldplay was really good at one point. No joke.

So anyway, Bobbeh Rode reminded me of this thing today in English (I love the B day class so much more than the A day class it's ridiculous, but more on that later), so I figured I'd write something in it rather than studying for that big history test or doing that English paper on that book that I've yet to read...oorrr doing those newspaper stories that were, in fact, due today. Thanks for the idea, Bobby. I need more things to use as excuses for procrastination.

Well, if that last paragraph didn't say it outright, here it is: I really could care less about school at this point. I mean, sure it's been like that since middle school for the most part, but it's more true (truer? that doesn't look right) than ever at the moment. Once I get my acceptance letter from Clemson (despite being preaccepted because of my kickass SAT score that I'm still unashamedly basking in, I'd like to be absolutely certain) along with hopefully an invitation to the honors college, I can't even imagine where my work ethic is going to go. I can't imagine that it's got that much further down to go.

On an uncharacteristically positive note, I've had a pretty great week so far (despite doing characteristically crappy on that Econ test this morning), and today was no exception. I'm actually enjoying my Psychology class (GOD, I love that stuff) even though it's CP-B, I'm happy to be finally working, and I'm feeling more comfortable than usual in my own skin. HOPEFULLY this trend continues. Yes, that pretty much sums it up. Don't want to dwell on it too much and jinx it.

Work is different. Considering this is my first job, I was pretty nervous the first few days (hell, who am I kidding, I'm still nervous about it - I just KNOW I'm going to fuck something up/break something one of these days, and if a costumer explodes on me, I'm likely to bitchsmack them, and since I'm 18 now I can go to JAIL and SHITASSFUCKPISSDAMNDAMNDAMN). But yeah, I think I'm slowly getting acclimated to the whole deal, even though I'm still definitely "the outsider" among the staff. Seriously, the only guy that talks less than me at that place is the old Russian dishwasher who can barely speak English. I like that guy, though. He's got a nice silver cigarrette case with a neat little lighter. Almost makes me want to take up smoking. 

After scanning what I've written so far, I see that I mentioned liking the A Day English class much better than the B Day one (think I got those days right at least - I prefer the one I'm not currently in, which of course is just typical), so I guess I'll expand on that a little bit. Really, that class is so much better. Like, a lot. It's not that I particularly dislike anyone (well, most of the people) in the B Day class, but A Day's just better in every aspect. More lively, less annoying, just better overall. Hell, I spent most of class today lying around outside in the sun, listening to didgereedoo (not even attempting to spell that correctly), and staring at optical illusions. In the B Day class, I might talk to someone about music or the weekend or something for a few minutes as an aside. And that's on a good day. Really.

And I'm disappointed that I never got a response to any of my responses for the last essay thing that we had to do. I totally went all out on those and I get NO satisfaction whatsoever besides my own. It's a pity. Really though, if I had written those for any other class, I'd be suspended right now. No lie.

Man, I love the little zombie/goth kid that shows my mood. Almost forgot about him. Goooood stuff.

Well damn. I thought I'd have more to ramble on about right now, but I should probably get to sleep, especially considering the fact that I need to get my sister to school by 7:45 tomorrow morning. ICK to the max.

To the max.

Well, leave comments or something. They don't even have to do with anything I said here. They can be about your favorite dish. Or a good TV show. Or a good CD. Or that cool thing you found on the ground when you were tying your shoe the other day. Just want to see if anyone actually reads this anymore.

Might write in this thing again when I have a bit more to say besides rambling on about school/work for a few paragraphs.

Buenas noches.

Black hole sun, won't you come? [Jan. 14th, 2007|12:41 am]
[Current Music |Soundgarden]

Yeah, so this weekend has been indubitably lame so far. Oh well, it happens I guess.

I don't want to go to sleep.

I really need to find something that I genuinely enjoy doing, that I can do fairly often. Because nothing really seems to be doing it for me at this point in time.

Here's to the really long holiday-type-thing that's lined up next week. Woo!

But boo for the fact that I have to go at least one of the days for some econ test. Yick. I hate that class with a vengeance. 

I want to do something fun tomorrow. Hopefully we'll get some good weather. 

OHMYGODIMGOINGCRAZY.

K. I'm going to go play Goldeneye.

How the fuck is it already 1:30? 

Goddamn.

I really don't like sleeping at night.

I'm still wide awake as shit. Leave a comment or phone me or IM me or something. 

Shouldn't have had that Starbucks earlier, I guess. BAD, DAVE. BAD. CAFFIENE. BAD. 

BAD.
