This was going to be my Sunday Picture Blog post: Theme this time around was handheld fans. And not the battery powered kind, folks. Obviously.

I want a pretty fan so badly :(








And since it IS Tuesday, I will go ahead and write something just for the hell of it. I saw a guy in the school parking lot today smoking a cigar. Not a cigarette... a CIGAR. It was 1pm. Like.. wtf. Then I walked into my classroom to find somebody was already sitting in my seat. That ticked me off. I then had to take some other girl's seat and I'm sure she was ticked off when she walked in too. Gahhhh... messing with my mojo, yo. (What the hell does that even mean?)

I have a midterm on Thursday that I'm going to fail. I have to go to a 'team meeting' at my job that starts at SIX A.M. WHO HOLDS MEETINGS AT SIX EFFING A.M. IN THE MORNING?!?! And to top it all off, I only get to come back home at 8a.m. for a few more hours before I have to be at work again for eight whole hours. FUN. I love my job. But yeah, that pretty much means I won't be able to study because I will be dog tired.

So why am I not studying right NOW, you ask?? Instead of sitting at my computer writing a blog? Well.. because studying is no fun!!

I had a huge urge to draw after school today, so I've been sitting on the couch, (ignoring the television, for once), with my sketchbook and I drew a cute little cartoony lolita type girl. It looks really good for something that was just done in one sitting. Quite proud of myself. Can't show it off right now, though, because I don't have a scanner and I also can't take a picture because my camera battery is currently out of juice and I'm too lazy to charge it. Ah well.
I love drawing.

Bands I'm currently obsessed with: Dresden Dolls and The Horrorpops. Good, fashionably fun moosics.

p.s. The very first of the fan pictures up top is of Brian Viglione, i.e. Dresden Dolls drummer sans the mime makeup. Ain't he a doll?? And the title for this post was a spin on one of their songs, "Mandy Goes to Med School".

get your body beat.

I hate getting angry at people I love. I truly do. But sometimes they leave me no choice. When I reach out and ask for compassion from somebody because of something that made me sad, I don't need you to state your opinions in a harsh way that only serves to make me feel worse. And I don't need you to forcefully shove your stubborn beliefs down my throat. All I wanted was a pat on the back. If you were too careless to see that... well. I have nothing more to say to you.
Possibly ever again.

But anyways...

I think I've talked about this before, but sometimes in the dead of night, when I'm lying in bed, unable to sleep for -insertwhateverreasonhere-, I find myself getting these weird, sudden cravings to hear certain songs by certain artists that I haven't even thought of in years. The other night, I suddenly wanted to listen to the band, Thursday. I have copies of two of their albums, but I can't find the one that I ACTUALLY want to listen to. So I'm stuck with the other one, but I don't know if I feel like listening to it tonight. I hate losing cd's. I lost one of my favourite Antiflag ones, not too long ago... and I've been wanting to listen to it since then, but I have no idea where it is. I have the box. But the actual cd is nowhere to be found. It's been lost since before I had an ipod, so I was never able to upload it onto there either. Boo. I remember when Muse's Origin of Symmetry album was lost... for the looooooongest time. When I finally found it, I popped it in my cd player and haven't been able to stop since. I think it's my favourite Muse album. You simply MUST listen to it in one sitting. In the dark. With your eyes closed, for best results ;)

Oh, just now, while watching tons of Dresden Dolls vids on youtube, (eee...Brian Viglione makes my heart flutter), I had a sudden urge to hear No Doubt's song "New". Which is weird 'cause I was never even a fan of No Doubt's work from that album onwards... I think "New" is the ONLY song I liked off of Return to Saturn. And that's it. Nothing can ever compare to Tragic Kingdom.

Last night, while perusing my artist list on my ipod, I passed over The Distillers, (which I had recently uploaded onto it, yet hadn't actually listened to yet), and I had a real desire to click on it, so I did. I was taken back to high school when I was in love with that album, Coral Fang. (I can't remember what grade that was, though.. I think 10th). If you're curious about the album, check out the songs "The Hunger", "Hall of Mirrors", and "For Tonight You're Only Here to Know". My top 3... tonight, I found their other album of theirs that I have, Sing Sing Death House, and it is now synched in my ipodzzzz. Best song off of that album is "City of Angels".

And after all that I end my night with listening to Combichrist's "Get Your Body Beat"...(which is totally fun to dance to). How's that for a total 360???
