The Unicorns are rumoured to have broken up.
The world is dead.

Fuck.

2005-02-12T07:20:00.000-08:00

Good luck at the Grammy Awards, Ryan!

To anyone

2005-02-07T16:51:00.000-08:00

That tries to get in my sister's pants.

I'm gonna go to your house.
I'm gonna stab you in the neck with a fork.
And then I'll make you listen to the new Kelly Clarkson album until you know it backwards and fowards.
And then I'll burn your legs off with a lighter, so it will be slow and painful.
When that's done, I'll wipe the pavement with your body and pour boiling oil on your face.
If you're not dead yet, I'll shoot you in the head.

Happy Birthday Audrey & Cate, love you both.

Listen to EQX. They're so nice and fuzzy.

Some of their DJs suck, but this one guy played Pearl Jam, Beck, Audioslave, Oasis, and The Clash in a 40 minute period.

Working on my term paper. Agh. I'm actually very lucky. I got my teachers to OK my topic and I thought that they would be a tad bit unhappy with it.

Another thing that sucks about Catholic school:

I probably won't be able to get my damn eyebrow pierced.

Oh, and am I the only one who thinks that U2 is overrated? They're everywhere. When will the madness stop?

2005-01-21T13:52:00.000-08:00

Guess who reviewed The Shore's Hard road?

PITCHFORK!

KISS MY ASS, ERIN. THE SHORE IS GOOD! HAH!

Awwwwww! Cute indie boys playing guitars. Sounds like fun. Heh heh. No, really though, The Honorary Title is dammmmn good.
Sounds like: Post-demolition Ryan Adams who had just listened to *gasp of horror* Dashboard Confessional.

And the Northern Lights concert was...

2005-01-20T13:07:00.000-08:00

Yeah, um, The Dears are assholes.

Who knew?

Yeah, they can perform really well and shit, but they had this aura of "aren't we so great? Better not look at us too long or our sheer magnificence will burn your eyeballs out of their sockets" about them.
Here's the thing. That's FINE if you're, uh..... LOU REED.... BUT THEY'RE NOT THAT GOOD!

By Divine Rights, however, was amazing. The lead singer is soooo cute! He's 100% indie and he actually really does have an amazing voice. During their set it looked like he was having sex with the guitar. Erin didn't notice which I find outrageous because there is no way I was the only one that noticed it. They made up for The Dear's lack of humility. They're really kind and they gave Erin & me free stickers. Heh, heh. If they ever come to your town, go see them!

*************************************************

I had a very emo moment today with "The Honorary Title".
Damn me.
Damn Honorary Title.

I think we need a new president.

I think Ryan Adams needs to be our new president.

Being the very odd person that you are, you ask me, "Why the hell should Ryan Adams be president?"
Luckily for you, I deal with "odd" people every day at catholic school, so I've assembled a wonderful little list for you.

Why Ryan Adams should be president

1.) He is such a total bitch... and he doesn't even know it! Leaders of foreign countries would be completely shocked by his lack of humility, catching them totally off-guard.

2.) He NEVER stops talking. To get the bastard to SHUT THE FUCK UP, people would just nod in agreement at his every word.

3.) He doesn't have a G.E.D. Come on now. It's worth a shot.

4.) He uses the word "crass" way more than any other person I've ever heard of. It's true.

5.) Ryan Adams is a really cool name, right? It's short. Oh, and if you spell Ryan backwards, it's Nayr. Maybe it's not a word, but if it was... I bet it would have an extremely awesome indie-rock meaning.

6.) He's hot, in a weird, swarthy, conceited, "mentally challenged" way. Yes, even with the chest hair that pokes out over his shirt collar.

7.) He's Ryan fucking Adams!

Did I ask you to vote for The Vines yet?
Yes, I did.
However, I know that most of you insolent fools do not listen.

Why, Steven?

2005-01-10T13:30:00.000-08:00

Steven.

You perplex me.

You play Soundgarden (I love you, I love you, I love you) but then you promise to play The Bravery tomorrow, subjecting them to asshole avril/g.c. fans on your "Untitled Rock Show".

Why?

Don't you realize that you CAN'T DO THAT when you work for Fuse?
Yes, Fuse once supplied us with really awesome music... about 6 months ago. Now it is bombarded with "oh-damn-I-am-so-bored-so-I-think-I'll-throw-on-this-black-eyeliner-and-head-bang-until-my-deteriorating-brain-cells-flow-out-of-my-thick-skull-and-desecrate-the-names-of-Richard-Hell,-Lou-Reed,-and-The-Sex-Pistols-at-the-same-time" kind of people.

Yeah, it's a bitch.

The Dears

2005-01-09T09:22:00.000-08:00

Yes, I am going to The Dears concert this Friday. What kind of stupid ass catholic school girl do you think I am, hmmmm????

Erin is coming too.

Yeeeee-ahhhh!

2005-01-07T07:53:00.000-08:00

In study hall right now.

Writing a book about Cricholls for Gina's birthday.

It actually is working really well. Erin likes it.

Is January 1979 in the bible or something.....?

2004-12-30T13:34:00.000-08:00

Damn. Look what I found.

"hello and how are you all? very very very good I hope! there are always some ups and downs, but nowadays I am full of happiness and hope mostly, may God be forever praised. this journal’s been a bit political recently, and if anyone’s coming out to our shows some nights when the guys are tuning I start on a soapbox about money, how we don’t love God if we don’t love our neighbor and we don’t love our neighbor if we buy junk we don’t need (new clothes, entertainment, expensive food, showy car, luxury house), and so mostly in America with our money and power and comfort and indifference how we don’t love God. please forgive me if I’ve said something wrong. in my ignorance I will criticize and condemn, and tho my convictions remain (based both on common sense and the Bible [1 John 3:17, 4:20, Matthew 25: 31-46, James 2:15 - many, many others]) if I point the finger outside, at the red faced rich with their green eyes or the phoney pastors of big fancy churches or our smirking president and his and scheming thugs, I miss the #1 culprit, the richest one of them all, the phoniest liar, the laziest, most prideful, two-faced gossiping indifferent arrogant one of them all: MYSELF. what’s more, the gospel is not a matter of economics or of politics or of good good deeds done but of Love, great great love shown to us in the life and death and resurrection of Jesus and of forgiveness, unbelievable and unlimited forgiveness shown best in the words “Forgive them Father, they know not what they do” (Luke 23:34), a man asking mercy for his tormenters. but the point where these converge is this: such love and forgiveness shown to us must, if we say we’ve accepted it, it just has to lead to those good deeds, and must affect the way we spend our money, and the way we act politically, and every area of our lives will be transformed by love, manifested in compassion, kindness, charity, forgiveness, humility, sacrifice, patience, sanity, inner peace, listening to others, feeding and helping others, visiting prisoners and old people and lonely people, respecting all of the beautiful Creation of God - and with this great outpouring of the Holy Spirit, very naturally I expect, will come the absence of the harmful and the meaningless, the hatred, the fighting, judgement, religious self-righteousness, vanity, jealousy, indifferent or laughing at the pain of others, withering on a couch watching television and playing videogames and (dare I say?) pinball (oh it hurts just to think of it!), wasting natural resources, supporting rich corporations that oppress the poor, backbiting, drugs and drunkenness, overeating, sexual use and abuse, abortion, war…if we try to fight each evil in the world we will lose. if we allow the light and love of God into our soul by saying “God, I’m sorry, please forgive me and help me,” and in submission and brokenness pray with an open heart, the Good Spirit will come! may we ask every day, every hour or even breath, help us, help us, help us – there is nothing in all this world that compares to the beauty of the Love of God."

-Journal on mewithoutyou's homepage

Yeah, that's what I said.

HOLY SHIT!

THEY'RE CRAZY RELIGIOUS PEOPLE! AGH!

2004-12-30T13:27:00.000-08:00

Hair cut.

Thinking of dying it black with Henna.

It's supposed to be good for your hair.

Uh... yeah.

The Shore is going to be touring with the Zutons. I MUST GO. Of course... I will have to drag Erin with me because she hates The Shore. Thank God that Ben Ashley has a nice ass. She knows what I mean. She'll come. Heh heh.

Purrrrrr......

2004-12-28T10:17:00.000-08:00

Good day so far. Saw "Ride" on Fuse. Heh, heh.

Cricholls is amazing.

Actually, Three Days Grace is on now. Uh, must I remind you how much they SUCK?!?!?!?!

Oh yeah, Steven..... you are not cool, mmmk? No, you do not have my respect because you play "old school" clips from legendary artists, but what you do have is an eternal damination request via me.

That's right, bitch.

Aha, I had a denstist appointment today. No cavaties!

Couch Parties, Christmas, and Dying French Whores

2004-12-24T07:12:00.000-08:00

Yeah. That sums up yesterday for me.

Couch parties suck.

The difference between couch parties and teenage parties is that at teenage parties, there is usually alcohol and drugs available.

At couch parties, there are 6th-9th graders talking about drugs and alcohol. See the difference?
You sit on a damn couch and listen to an 11 year trying to convince everyone that he knows what 'yellow submarine' means.

Yeah.

I told you they suck.

I love you Amanda, but never invite me to another fucking couch party.

Christmas, now that's pretty self-explanitory.

AHA!

Dying French Whores!

Death of a French Whore is a song by The Murdocks and it's been my obsession over the past week. Oh, and High Water Marks.

"Queeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen of Verlaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaine!"

Violent, dah-ling

2004-12-22T07:51:00.000-08:00

When I'm out walkin' I strut my stuff man, I'm so strung out I'm high as a kite I just might stop to check you out, let me go on like I blister in the sun let me go on big hands I know you're the onebody and beats I stain my sheets I don't even know why my girlfriend she's at the end she is starting to cry let me go on like I blister in the sun let me go on big hands I know you're the one...

Yeah, that's been in my head all day so far.

Violent Femmes, why do you have to be so damn awesome?

Listening to The Strokes right now. Pizza for breakfast. Had a couple epiphanies that would solve the whole world-hunger-crisis thing, but I was too lazy to write them down and I forgot them.

2004-12-20T13:31:00.000-08:00

I just finished reading, "A Tree Grows In Brooklyn". It's really sad, and what is up with that, eh? *No I am NOT canadian, dammit!*

Sad books are just, well, you know, sad.

I started reading this girl's blog titled, "I know I complain alot, but just deal with it", or something like that. Every fucking entry was about how much she hated so-and-so classes and shit like that.

Why don't go and put on your fucking Dashboard Confessional music and overdose on cough syrup or something?
Sorry, but I really can't stand people like that. See, now I've gotten myself all angry, so I'm gonna put some of her entries in here.

"Yeah...it was over when I decided that you were a liiiiittle young for me. Also, look at me. I'm just way too hot for you!"

"I can't believe that Rachel is getting this depressed over our breakup - she's even starting to make up these outrageous lies that she broke up with me. Like I said before, I told her that it wasn't working and I got all of my stuff together and left. My things were put into boxes, but it was me who put them there.Also, she's still in love with me. Why else wouldn't she say who she was "supposedly" in love with now."

DAH! SHUT THE FUCK UP, WOMAN! DO YOU REALIZE THAT YOU SOUND LIKE EVERY OTHER MOTHERFUCKING TEENAGER ALIVE??????????

I am really not going to read her blog again. I swear. Seriously, I won't.

Being sick is bad, I have nothing to do but type in here and take Tylenol for my headache.

Really, you beautiful people, please make me feel better.

CATHERINE CASON, YOU ARE SO DAMN HILARIOUS!

Carly is a sick girl

2004-12-20T13:16:00.000-08:00

That's right, I am.

Stomach Virus.

Damn.

Christmas is coming.

Yay.

Mailed pitckfork.media today.

I love pitchfork.media.

I heard Interpol on the radio today.

In 1989, the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued its "Report on the Secretary's Task Force on Youth Suicide," which found that "A majority of suicide attempts by homosexuals occur during their youth, and gay youth are 2 to 3 times more likely to attempt suicide than other young people. They may comprise up to 30 percent of (the estimated 5,000) completed youth suicides annually. (5) The report recommended that "mental health and youth service agencies can provide acceptance and support for young homosexuals, train their personnel on gay issues, and provide appropriate gay adult role models; schools can protect gay youth from abuse from their peers and provide accurate information about homosexuality in health curricula; families should accept their child and work toward educating themselves about the development and nature of homosexuality"According to Kevin Berrill, Director of the Anti-Violence Project of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force at the time of the report,s release stated, "The increased risk of suicide facing these youth is linked to growing up in a society that teaches them to hide and to hate themselves. We welcome this report and hope it will lead to action that will save lives."Initially, however, the report was suppressed by the Bush administration under pressure from right-wing groups and by conservatives in Congress. After the findings, William Dannemeyer, who was at the time a conservative Republican member of the U.S. House of Representatives from California, called for then-president Bush to "dismiss from public service all persons still employed who concocted this homosexual pledge of allegiance and sealed the lid on these misjudgments for good." HHS Secretary Louis Sullivan wrote in a letter to Dannemeyer that the study "undermined the institution of the family." (6)

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH BUSH? HE IS SUCH AN ASSHOLE!

Cricholls, Bitches

2004-12-14T16:33:00.000-08:00

I talk too fast. Sometimes when I talk too fast, I blend my words together. Yesterday I was talking to Gina *possibly the most kick-ass girl in Holy Names* and I was telling her about what Craig Nicholls said after he was released from jail. I said, "so anyway, Cricholls said..... wait, did I just say Cricholls?" It was actually pretty damn hilarious.

As of late, I've discovered a whole new batch of bands that I'm obsessed with.

Sunday's Best, Staylight Run *how emo of me, I know!*, Blood Brothers, Hopes of the States, Sam Roberts, The Spaceshots, The Murdocks, Silver Sunshine (who suck in the best way possible), Cursive, High Water Marks, The Colour (seriously, they're awesome, I think that they'll be my next unhealthy fixation victims), Ambulance Ltd., Damian Jurado, and Alien Alright have been in constant rotation in my head and handy little deivices that play music that I own.

Got 'The Carnations' C.D. today. God, I've forgotten how terrible that they are. I miss them. They were my first step into the realm of music outside of the mainstream.

Sister Barbara

2004-12-02T17:04:00.000-08:00

Sister Barbara is a fucking turkey chaser.

She's actually my favorite nun. She only wears one style of shirt. It's white. With little suitcases on it. And tan slacks.

She's so stupid. I love her. She kicks bible arse, mmmk?

Eh, I guess it is kind of funny. Liberal/athiest going to conservative/catholic school.

It's actually really frustrating. Not once have I been able to get through a discussion about politics with one of them without holding myself from shoving a couple dozen tampons up their nostrils.

2004-11-29T15:08:00.000-08:00

Further proof that converse kick some major ass!

Ok, well, sometimes this picture thing doesn't work so click it, and it should show up bigger in another window.

What the hell are nuns for, anyway?

2004-11-29T13:29:00.000-08:00

Tell me, what the fuck is wrong with those damn crazy nuns? Last year one chased me.

I was running in the hallway and she was coming out of the chapel. She was carrying a nun doll which was supposed to represent our school's founder at prayer services. When she saw me, she started power walking towards me and shaking her finger at me, mouthing something. Later I found out she didn't want to yell because she was in chapel. I freaked and ran upstairs and as far away from her as I could. Eventually she just followed me to my homeroom and gave all of us a short seminar on how we couldn't collect insurance/sue the school in case we had an accident because it would have been our fault.

Crazy bitch.

Haha.... <3 Chris Cornell forever

2004-11-28T19:20:00.000-08:00

Funniest damn article I've read

Mmmmkkkk...... his wife is 26, and he's 40. That seems like a HUGE age gap, but it's only 14 years, which isn't that bad. Eh. Whatever. He still can make me do a crazy-loser dance when I hear Cochise.

I lurrrrrrrrrrrve you Chris!

Hmmmm

2004-11-28T17:12:00.000-08:00

Got a blog today. Now that I have one, I'm not quite sure what to put in it.
Wait. Epiphany.

Buy: The Vines Winning days

Why? Because Craig Nicholls kicks some major bong ass, that's why. And his hair is awesome. Have you seen his hair???
