thursday.july.3.2003.
i was so bored right now i decided to make a band. i've also decided i'm going to add games to this site first chance i get; i know you really need these things for summer. at least i do. anyway, you should check out one amazin' kid. i know the stuff is all acoustic, but it really mellows you out, especially if you'd had quite a day. you can make up all the words you want in your head. so that's the band, and the song of the moment is still long shot hero's "all we wanna do" because it just is that addictive. yesss. everyone buy a guitar from me, and eurotrash keyboards.

also, long since forgotten put up the acoustic version of "some sort of meaning?" yeah.
well i probably won't see any of you this summer, it's a tough life------
*allie


thursday.june.26.2003.
inevitably a lot of people probably dislike, strongly feel detest for, or even hate me. and it's about time you just came out and said it. if you have any sort of problem with me, and there's an amazing number of reasons why you could, just say it. send your hate mail this way... [email protected]. and if i don't hear from you, i'll just assume you are pretending you never read this because you "hate" me so much you would never "lower" yourself down to that. but because you're reading this--likely attempting to find every remark i make that will let you think less of me--you should just come right out and say it. *allie.

thur june 19 2003--
notice how "june" gets spelled out because i like this month so much.
DUDE! watashi wa is the featured band on emotionalpunk.com. go read the review. their rating:
overall: 10
sound quality: 10 music quality: 10 production: 10 originality: 10
dude, this is a high-caliber band. i love a band i can be proud of. i'm watching them take off, and it's lovely. sorry, i'm wayyy too proud right now. it's like a soccer mom watching her son grow up and be apart of the cool crowd...a little nostalgic, a little sweet, and a lot happy. i'm shutting up now...
OK: they write: "if a record could feel like love, watashi wa's the love of life would be it." i'm telling you...watashi wa DOES that to you.

1. i just found out denison marrs is also christian. they were one of the few bands i thought were my "non-christian" tracks. sign me up for cornerstone, i guess...
2. my birthday is on tuesday. i get to drive. i get to work. i get to listen to "i'll show the world" by calibretto 13 only this time, i get to mean it.
3. i should be in school right now. but i'm not.
4. got some great ohio turnpike pics, and some pictures from my friend marie's party. they probably won't ever be up because i'm real lazy, but i'll ge to it...someday.
5. the mail's here. i'll be back.

fri may 30 2003--
Yoh, i can't stray very far. today, on this my day off, i was toying with the idea of completely redoing the entire layout all html-style. maybe throw in some java, who the hell cares, right? no one actually frets over this. watashi wa has served me well, but there has been some mistakes whether this was the official watashi wa site or something. sorry to say, it isn't. what else, what else...i added some extra links for no good reason. there's some pictures *coming soon* you know how that goes. i think all i have up is the thumbnail shots of burke days. i haven't taken pictures in a good year. when i get the full stuff up (likely: never) i'll credit it all to the right people and good stuff of that sort. other than that, i've completely run out of menial topics to discuss. isn't that heartbreaking? well, i'm sure there's worse.

"my favorite song"--
you could be my favorite song, the way you stuck with me so long. your melody's catching me, i'm humming your name when i'm driving. if the radio picked up on your tune, no doubt you'd be a big hit soon. i'd be requesting you, my favorite song.
now i know you're my favorite tune, and i hope i hear it again real soon. your name stuck in my head, it's a beat that i can't shed. i'd make all my friends a tape, so they could hear, and know how great you are, you are, you are my favorite song.
not so fast, but not too slow. i could get used to your tempo. we could sing it in harmony. i back up and you sing lead. 'cause i don't want to change it all that much. i'd hate to ruin it with my touch, my favorite song.

a good dose of emo after an emotionally tolling weekend. i apologize, but that is who i am, and there's not much i can do to change that.

((as always...to the boy on west elm & third))
--lyndsay diaries -- mixtapes and memories -- i promise this won't be another song about being alone but all i feel is regret and i can't find the nerve to pick up the telephone. i was thinking about how it drives my crazy just to feel your hand in mine, and how simple that is and i've thought about saying no to hope but i have this funny habit of putting pictures up on the wall of you and me. i know that priorities never understand reality and time never lends itself to those who are waiting on love. but it is overdue that we should share this night of grace, your smile is the only thing that keeps me breathing. the hours pass like minutes when i'm with you. the hours pass like minutes in the rain. so lets stand her in the rain together.
things you should do now:
*listen to the lyndsay diaries, or best yet, buy his new cd "remember the memories" because it's sweet, addictive, lovable, and nostalgic.
*take a vote: are stage names cool? or should they stick with their birth monikers?
scott windsor -- the lyndsay diaries
conor oberst -- bright eyes
chris carabba -- dashboard confessional
bill e. beckett -- remember maine
(+ more, coming soon)

thurs may 15 2003--
reasons why this day (of all days) rocks:
1. ace is that close. he's here. god that kid is too damn cool.
2. early november is playing at club crannel with count the stars and *hidden in plain view*.
3. conan o'brien is doing his entire episode in "clay animation"...not to be confused with claymation
4. it's chapstic, and chapped lips, and things like chemistry.
5. i am going to albany, for guys in yamakas...well, yeah.
6. the season finales of friends and will & grace are tonight. (however, i missed the season premiers, and in fact, the ENTIRE seasons.) so, i lose.
7. a candidate for class presidency (or vice, i forget) vowed that if he took office, he would never let a vending machine fall on us. that being his entire campaign.
nextly, you are going to get a blurty and you are going to join:

dude, huge thank's millions. there's been 311 (exactly, at this moment in time) people/computers who have logged onto this site. furtherly, that's over 1,665 unique page views in the past month. this rocks my socks way past fullerton. now of course at the moment you may be all "oh, bah, i've had 5,345,453 hits in the past minute...you suck." and i do suck, but who cares, if you know me...well that's like a milestone. in the celebratory spirit, i decided to finally start working on the whole mixtape/dorkrock aspect of this...whatever you want to call it. mixtape, dL some songs...or don't. dorkrock., check out some bands...or don't. if you  notice, none of the links are all too active, but...i'm lazy and it's late. deal with it, i guess. SENSES FAIL<dude, let me just say for the record, they are INCREDIBLE live. absolutely, take-my-breath-away, leave my heart beating just relistening to their song. so you can bet tommorow will be an encore for the beautiful melodies. you betcha.

watashi wa rocked my socks seven ways to sunday last night. dude, there are no words to describe this band...amazingly amazing doesn't begin to do them justice. i think i may have had a heart attack ((from all the incessent gasping, perhaps)). anyone who hasn't yet, check them out. their new cd ((love of life)) comes out june 24, and their ep is out now...that's all i have to say.
this is my one last chance to make things better, i'm running out of clever things to say, clever things to say. respective lines are drawn and i can't pass them. i guess i wasn't meant to see outside of my own view.

first off, i hate april fools.
me and an unnamed friend (we'll call him lame-as-hell) got into a debate...i say that no matter what, ben kweller has the ability to cheer one up when they're in that really weird depressing state, but lame-as-hell claims bk puts the people into that mood and then gets them out of it. he think there's a catch to melodic power-pop. (dubbed "emo" by some.) anyway...i don't know how the hell to explain it. i guess i just can't. sha doo.
lastly go to songmeanings. it's a kickass site if i ever saw one.

monday, march 24, 2003--
a couple things--
1) i started the "you" section, which is to be a collection of memories. in response, no one cares.
2) the photography section is a mix of edited photos (creations of amatuer photoshop knowledge and boredom) of friends and lyrics, most of the time which have nothing to do with said photo. if you have had a "lyricpic" sent to you via email, forward it here if you want to see it on the site. yeah.
3) i don't know if you noticed, but the navigation sucks. this is mostly because i don't give a shit about it because i'm not a webdesigner. also, if your browser is 800x600, it's even shittier. imagine that.
and finally...
dressed to protest

saturday, march 22, 2003 --
i was randomly wandering around town today and i came across one of those decorative flags housy people wave outside their houses. this one read "spring has sprung!" and that it has. that means: warm weather, watashi wa shows at teen clubs in monroe (better then no show at all), clamdiggers, the android family back in all their glory, the clan of skateboarders attacking the streets again, and wandering aimlessly around a pointless town. and yet also, it somehow means war. and as i watch in 8th period spanish class the boys that surround me go "yes! look at that! oh shit!" everytime our hick country drops a bomb. and the only thing i can think about is those "civilians" and our "military" and the many "casualties." and everytime i hear these words i feel a little less connected to what i knew yesterday.
