I am very much like Pip from Great Expectations in the sense that he saw Estella in the harbor and in the clouds and I saw Sean in the waterfall and in the leaves today. I saw him in the stone walls and along the footpaths and in the hot-air balloons that passed overhead. I come close, but I can never fully shake him. The time will come, and it will come soon, where he will no longer be part of my life and I will have to be okay with it. He'll be tomorrow where I was today and with everything inside of me I hope that he sees me in the waterfall and in the leaves, in the stone walls and along the footpaths and in the hot-air balloons that glide across the sky. I want him to hear it in the water and I want him to feel it with the wind.

| Help with an awkward to make crush tape plz |
[Sunday
October 12th] |
Okay, so i checked under the 'crush' tag, and there were a couple useful songs, but i'm looking for something more specific, if such songs exist.
Basically, there's this girl I've met recently who I'm really into and I THINK she might be into me, but i don't even know if she likes the ladies. So i'm looking for songs that will say 'my gaydar/intuition is rubbish, please throw me a bone', as well as 'i have a thing, you have a thing, maybe we could have a thing'. But nothing too overtly obvious. A little obvious is okay. Hell, just anything. Having a heck of a time putting this one together.
Any help would be awesome.

So, the past two days have been awesome. I'm taking today off to study (GUH.) and get some SERIOUS halloween decorating going on. It should be good. oh yeaah.
So, friday I came home from Niagara with NICOLLLEEE. Then Amanda came and got me at 6:30 so we could go to Dark Raven Manor.
The haunted houses were pretty decent. I think Haunted Catacombs/House of Horrors is infinitely better due to the length of the houses. it took us like an hour to get through one. here they were about 10-15 minutes :/ BUT the Rated R one was pretty sweet. It was like, a zombie invasion and it was pretty s carey but then it got worse. We walked into this room,. and the SEPERATED us. I HAVE NEVER BEEN IN A HAUNTED HOUSE BY MYSELF. nor will I EVER think to do so. I was fucking terrifyed. It was like pitch black and some girl was banging chains on the wall and screaming at me. I had to go through another room and a dark scary hallway to get out. :(. I did not like it haha. The other cool one was Dark Raven Manor. The only scene in the grudge that scared me was the part where the girl coems out of the tv. they fucking re-enacted that. some how the girl was transparent, and some how you could still see the tv behind her? idk man. all i know is, they turned out the lights, they turn em back on and BAM the bitch is RIGHT there. I screamed. so loud. hahaha. Also, as to my title, amanda ran into a wall, but screamed, so i screamed and she goes "AHHH!!!!! IT'S A WALL!!!!!!" I also got so scared I slammed her into a wall. hahahha. :). that's what best friends are for!. The coolest thing was the ammount of girls (and theatre majors from NU lol) like most haunted houses don't hire girls. let me tell you. the two times i described up there, included 4 girls and me screaming like one. haha.
After we went to the casino ,casue you only gotta be 18. where I learned amanda has a problem and they have really cheap fries.We then went back to buffalo to get the greatest lesbian that ever lived. Roxy. ahhaha. Met her gay room mate, watched some youtube videos I'd like to forget and headed out to Dennys. Dennys was funny. I got a milkshake and was innapropriate the entire time. haha. We just talked about college, bitches and hoes, and laughed at things that weren't remotely funny but at midnight they just ARE. haha. We went back to Amanda's at 1:30 and I passed the fuc kout. took my pants off in the middle of the night. Kept waking up though. Woke up and watched everafter at 7 in the am. good movie. went home at about 11. not before accusing roxy of turning on the breast cancer channel. hahaha.
Was home for like a minute before running out to NICOLLLEEE THE GREATEST FAERY THAT EVER EXISTEEEEEDD's house. hahaha. We hung around for about 10 minutes on the porch before we heard them approaching. the boys of death and dhoom. matt...and alex. >.> OH GOD. thankfully they've matured alot. and they were very respectable. It was really awesome seeing matt. HE WATCHES YO GABBA GABBA. haha. me and him pretty much stuck together the whole time. I told him about how red bull was illegal in some countries. cause he has a serious energy drink problem. worse than my Jolt problem of 05. -shudders-. anywhos. So we all went down to caz creek, and watched ducks fuck. hahahha. "is that their mating ritual?" 'I don't ..OH GOD! IT IS!" haha "you wanna do it?" 'yeah' "yeah?" 'yeah' "yeah?" We actually watched 4 ducks get it on. Very good day indeed. haha. Eventually bees ruined my life, as did the sun, so we walked over to caz cafe where we went around the book store, matt got tarot cards, i got frozen chai and alex was anti social. haha he was hiding behind his paper and i was like "Someone needs to learn group skills. hint. it's not anyone in this group" -everyone looks over to alex- haha. I sat on his ciggs :(. I always do that! -snaps-. I fell asleep. Matt shoved nicoles phone and later my hoody down his shirt. Trip to Nicole's where matt whined about work. and he finally left. and then me and alex got kicked out.
I'd like to say that at this point we stood our ground and ended nicole's plight forever in an epic battle of wits and swords...but..we just went to caz park, found a tree. and tried to figure out what to do with ourselves. Went back to my house, where he wore my dad's sombrero with the little hangy balls? and my dad goes "Oh ha ha! Nice balls!" >.< Oh daddy. ahhaha. He's freaking nuts. We listened to cradle of firth and read about serial killers. what else are goth kids to do with their free time?! before setting out for party city/movies.
PARTY CITY IS THE COOLEST STORE EVER WHEN IT COMES TO HALLOWEEN. I just wanted everyone to know :(. I p ut on funny hats and go to sing along to Michael Jackson. And got some stuff for my party, whilst figuring out how to make alex into a zombie. It's pretty easy. my vote is, we wake him up at 6 am and run. as he tries to catch us he'll be like this -throws arms out and groans- haha :) We then went to the movies to see blindness. It was....ah..........fucked up. essentially. One of those movies where you just sit there confused and horrified the whole entire time. till it ends and you've got to sort out what you just saw. But I liked it, and it wasn't stupid or bad, it was just like "the fuck" two hoodys, and a missed bus later, we were walking back to Alex's house. the 23 passed us right by. bastard. haha. It wasn't that bad of a walk, and it was realllyyyy nice out. His bed was magnificent. and I watched law and order while he showered. It was the stupidest episode ever. It was like...everyone dies! car crash! baby born on helicopter! we totally thought they wrapped the baby in tin foil. "we could just eat this baby!" haha. it was one of those space blankets haha.
Eventually we dropped him off at JoJo's so he could be reunited with his two lovers. food and matt. haha. and I went home and crasshheed.
I kept waking up, and again got REALLY hot. I think...........there's bacon........i can't eat that. aw man no fair.
xXx

I'm really looking forward to indoor drumline. I'm going to play bass. Maybe I'll challenge myself and see if he'll teach me snare. Maybe I can play quints. Ahhh, this is going to be awesome.

66-point-something. A point down from last weekend, but that's alright! We are reaching my goals for this season!
I met the drum majors from New Hartford today. They apologized because they had never heard of our band and I told them that it was okay, that it's our third season and that not many people know who we are yet. They were so amazed when they learned that we're so new, it made me smile.
I also received a very mysterious candy gram after the performance. It was... very mysterious.
I met Mr. Mark's dad and showed him The Video.
On the busride home I listened to The Decemberists and found the big dipper in the sky.

Cherbourg; Beirut |
] |
My roommate is taking French for the first time and is going all out, i.e., she's labelled everything in our apartment in French. So I thought I'd make her a mix CD. Songs in French? I looked through previous entries and there were a few... anything, really, that has even a couple sentences in French. So far I've got:
The Partisan, Leonard Cohen Une Annee Sans Lumiere, Arcade Fire Salamandre, Sarah Harmer L'Amour Ne Dure Pas Toujours, Feist J'ai Deux Amours, Madeleine Peyroux Complainte De La Butte, Rufus Wainwright
Also, really, Beirut. Titling your songs in French without actually having French lyrics is kind of misleading, don't you think?

Ahhh, the fact that marching band alumni are allowed on band trips makes me very, very happy because now I know that I'll have a ride to the Dome next season! Fantastic!
Two more weeks. Three shows, four after-school practices, seven practices total and it's all over.
Oy.

"Valerie Plame"- The Decemberists |
] |
I don't see where I am coming from concerning situations with the people I am associated with and situations with my friends as wrong- I'm not looking through a fogged glass, I am fully aware of what I'm trying to say, it is how it is perceived that makes it "right" or "wrong". I do not lie, I am not untrue. I try to see the good in each situation and if trying to see good that isn't there is a lie, then call me a liar,but I know myself better than anybody. I am not a flawed system. Perhaps it is a fault of mine not to always accept things in the form that they come but it doesn't really matter, in some way I am right, in a way that that matters to me, and that gives me the security that I need to be a successful person.
That being said, there are two ways a story can be told. Not two sides, but two different stories entirely:
The way it is remembered, and the way it actually happened.
People oftentimes forget how a story actually happened.
Think about it.

I will continue to pass up each chance I see because I care about you, or maybe I don't see that light in you, which doesn't make sense, but even so, I'm learning to put my music first.
I will put myself before myself.
I will put you before myself.
I will put music before you.
Music is going to be my life some day.
