Oh man!!  I just watched a really great movie!!!  SLC Punk with Matthew Lillard.  The first half of the movie was completely frickin hilarious, and the second half was depressing and serious.  But they combined to make one awesome movie!!  "I am the future of this great nation!" 
......AAAAAHHHHHHAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!  Oh man, when he says it, he's got this 2-ft high mohawk and he's jumping up and down and it's hysterical.  There are so many great things to quote from that movie but, obviously, since I've only seen it once, I can't really remember any.  Except the one above.
There's this great part where this dorky looking guy ("Who's really hardcore!") randomly slams some guy's head into a wall.  And Matthew Lillard has BLUE hair.  Yeah, blue.  Another really funny part is when he and Bob and some other guy go to Wyoming to buy beer.  The old guy behind  the counter picks up the phone to send them back to an institution, but they tell him, in very American accents, that they're from England.  And the guy's like, Oh, well, that explains it then.
OK, Napster is a drug.  Hahahaha, I have fun downloading random songs...like Etta James' "At Last", Jackson 5's "I want you back", Dexys MIdnight Runners' "Come On Eileen"....the list continues.  I have some from Stevie Nicks, Sheryl Crow, Save Ferris, Sting, Jimi Hendrix, the Kinks, Bob Seger....the list continues.  Man, Michael Jackson kinda went downhill after he became white.  I'm kinda curious as to how he went about altering his skin pigment though.  Could I become black?  Hahahaha, could you see me as a black person?  I'm not even cool as a white person.  Hahahaha.
Man, if I liked punk music and was into anarchy and crap, I'd totally be a punk.  But...I'm not.  I'd wear lots of eyeliner.  I like eyeliner.  It's a fetish really.  But my eyeliner skill goes untapped because people already think I'm weird, why perpetuate it by putting my stash of eye pencils to use?  Man, people are stupid.  I don't care what they think.  But....see, I may not care what they think, but I only like to scare people when i'm in the mood to do so.
I have this really bad feeling that I'm just not going to finish summer reading and i'm going to start AP Language off with an F.  Seriously!  Every time I sit down to read Gulliver's Travels, somebody calls.  So naturally, I go do something.  Or I become bored and restless.  That book is god-awful.  GOD AWFUL I TELL YOU!  My computer does this weird thing, whenever I press the caps lock button, it puts a box on the screen, so it does this unless i delete the box: ?I'M IN CAPS LOCK NOW? and now i'm out of it.  see?  every friggin time.
What do you do when you think somebody's really annoying?  ANd you don't feel you can do anything about it?  How do you let someone know that you do not desire their company or attention any longer?  Besides not really responding when they talk to you?  Man, am i going to hell?  I've been tearing pictures out of magazines to show the person who cuts my hair what i want my hair to look like ?EVENTUALLY? when it actually ?GROWS OUT?.  Because see, last time she hacked a lot of it off, which broke my heart.  So I want to give her an idea of what I MEANT.  (that time i didn't use caps lock, i held down the shift button.)
Where am I going to go to college?  What am I going to do for a job when I'm older?  Can I get my money now?  Just thought I'd put those questions down since they're in the back of my head, constantly bouncing around, echoing....kinda like the sound of water dripping.  Just gets to you after a while.
I have this weird thing....somebody can be making a really annoying noise for like 10 minutes and I won't hear it or let it bother me, but all of a sudden, something in my brain kind of snaps, and I turn around and scream.  Yeah, it happens all the time, it's no big deal really- it kinda scares the person, but i don't know, does that have something to do with my attention span?
Can I be a rock star?  I think that would be fun.  I love to sing.  This is a really weird rant page.  I guess I'm in this really weird mood....I'm feeling kind of ....psychotic.....?  LIke I should be out doing something....but I'm here and I'm about to combust.
OK, can you explain something to me?  How do fish sit?  NO, really.  Because in this interview with Heidi Klum, she's talking about movie roles and how she doesn't just want to be in the background, so here's what she says:  "I don't want to be in a movie just to sit in the corner like a fish and be pretty."
Umm.....(isn't that what she does as a model?  nevermind.)...Right.  So again, I ask, how do fish sit?
Last night I watched this really weird movie.  Called Angel Baby.  It had that guy from Moll Flanders in it.  I love that guy.  Anyway, it's another Sundance movie, and I'm beginning to think that all Sundance films have to be about one mentally unstable person falling in love with another mentally unstable person.  Anyway, I was mentally exhausted after watching it, not to mention depressed.
Score, I'm listening to Come ON Eileen right now.  *humming along and bobbing head along to the beat*
Words and/or phrases I overuse:  Score, yo, y'all, what the crap?, man, like, god, frickin (also- freaking, friggin, etc), yep.
Yep, that's a nice list.  I'm downloading A Whiter Shade of Pale right now.  What's today- Wednesday?  Man.  I went to the dentist today.  But it wasn't Dr Diamond, my normal dentist, it was another guy, and he was creepy.  A short fat man.  Ew.  And tomorrow I go to the dermatologist (yay!) who is appropriately named Dr Hurt.  Then I have to go to Mr Wine's house with the other newspaper editors.  This is gonna be such a joke.  Man.  Peter Gabriel is brilliant.
Go rent SLC Punk right now.  You will like it, and if you don't, I don't like you.  NOt really, but most likely.
So I'm downloading Procul Harem and Tracy Chapman right now.  I like having varied musical interests.  I"m all over the place.  Except rap.  I hate rap. And I never listen to classical, although I don't not like it.  I just don't listen to it.  I like country and rock music.....alternative, classic, new wave, whatever.  I also like chick music.  And I like some ska and whatever, but I just don't hear a lot of it you know?  It's not on the radio.
Ow I just hurt myself with my pen.  I'm talented that way.
Going back to the eyeliner subject, I wore a lot today.  My mother looked at me and kind of squinted and said "You're wearing a lot of makeup....no....wait, no you're not, just a lot of eye-makeup."  I just nodded.  My mom's cool though, don't get me wrong.  I mean we've definitely come close to killing each other before (man, there was this one incident in an Upton's dressing room that I'd like to never relive), but she's cool.  I mean she thinks it's neat when I dye my hair different colors.  She gets annoying about my clothes sometimes, but that's ok.  I deal with that, and I've BEEN dealing with that since I was able to choose my own outfits, so i'm used to it.  She's against piercings though.  I wanted a second ear piercing, but she wouldn't hear of it.  She might stroke out if I ever went through with getting my eyebrow pierced.  As would all the fascists at my school.  But then again, nobody should worry- I'm deathly afraid of needles.  And, well, pain.  So while it might look cool as crap, I'd have to be heavily under the influence of something mind numbing to do it.  heh.  I think I could go for more holes in my ears though.  What do you think?  I think i should.  OK....now I'm warming to the idea of mutilating my ears, cool.  I wonder if Claire's is the cheapest place?
I really want to go to that Live/Counting Crows show.  Very much.  Very VERY much.  ANd you know, at this point, I"d shell out lotsa cash to see weezer in concert.  As you all could probably guess.
Hey, do we have to keep our class color from last year?  I hate yellow.  Yellow sucks.
OK, looks like Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car" is beating Procul Harem's "A Whiter Shade of Pale" in the race to download.  Fantastic.  Richard Still's mother was my nurse at the dentist's office today.
Oops, looks like Procul Harem's catching up.
I'm not bored.  I"m not bored.  SUmmer school is something I never want to experience.  My neighbor had to go through it.  He goes to Wheeler and took it at Pope.  No, it's not something I ever want to deal with.
Woah!  IN a final jolt of speed, Procul Harem's time drops to 4 minutes while Tracy Chapman's jumps up to 12!...wait a minute!  They just flip flopped!  This race is getting crazy folks!  I'm not bored.  I'm not bored.  What does that freaking mean when they keep flip flopping?
I"m sorry Gulliver's Travels was ever written.  What was Jonathan Swift smoking when he came up with the idea of conveying his political opinions through a piece of crap book like that?  Couldn't he just write a book saying what he thought?  jeez.  I swear.  I"m listening to Mrs Potter's Lullaby right now.  I like that song.  Counting Crows are awesome.  NOt that I have any of their cds.  You know, thinking about Gulliver's travels, I'd rather like to have a tiny little person.  I could keep it in my old dollhouse.  I could fix the place up a bit and put the person in there.  Riiiight.....
OK, I'm sorry I'm not holding out to tell you which song downloaded first, but it's getting boring sitting here typing.  Later.
