This is not about Friday or Saturday

I must admit that I'm not very psyched about this at all.

But I cannot imagine how the people in Louisiana and Mississippi are feeling.

I just want this damn thing to break apart. :/

Note to self:

write entry about Friday night and Saturday.


That is, when you have the time. No rush at all, Sarah.

The Democratic Convention

drives me wild.
It leaves me in a puddle of my own tears and my hopes as high as they can go.

Thank you PBS for showing it from 1AM-4AM since I missed Obama's speech from last night.

I cannot wait for November 4th, but I am going to be a complete wreck the whole day and school and work will be out of the question.

Abrupt ending!

Cut cut paste

Before

After. You have no idea how badly I wanted these sheets. Of course I put them on and they look kind of bad (and SAGGY!) and they sort of clash with, well, everything. But I love them unconditionally and if I tuck them so they fit better and avoid sleeping on them, they look marvy.

My essentials.

And I'm thinking about making a blog solely for my cloud pictures. (I still take them). And that might be the silliest idea that I've ever had.

Go away

Why can't an interesting boy that I actually like be bugging me the way that YOU do?

No, we will never date again.

Leave me aloneee, please!





Coming soon:
Sarah gets new bed sheets

Oh, hello

I've been trying to keep my trips on the internet to a minimum and it's actually working out quite well (despite the fact that my Last.fm is suffering).

Just the thought of being in front of the computer lately has made me feel ill.





Until I get back into the world wide web, I fear that my blog will suffer.

Unless you're into one word entries. Because I could probably find time to do that.

Hah

Short and sweet

YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO SPELL BEFORE YOU ARE ALLOWED TO PUSH A CHILD OUT OF YOUR VAGINA.


Jesus fuck.

The only song that I care about at the moment

♥


EDIT:


And this song... always.
My favorite song by Breathe Carolina.

Raspberry tea fixes a lonely heart

Let's see how long it takes for it to wear off.

First day of classes, so on and so forth

I'm not even sure why I titled the entry what I did because that is honestly the last thing I want to talk about. I've had to answer the dreadful "HOW WAS YOUR FIRST DAY OF SCHOOOOOOOLLLLL?" question a zillion times today and the last person that I want to answer to now is my blog.

The two classes that I had today seem like they're going to go well.
I won't know about my other two classes until Monday.
Sound good?

Ahh, buttt my psychology teacher did begin class by bitching about the new Harry Potter movie release date being pushed back until next July. I have a feeling her and I will hit it off really well.


THE DECEMBERISTS HAVE FINALLY RELEASED NEWS REGARDING NEW MUSIC!!! FUCKING HALLELUJAH. You have no idea how excited and pleased I am.
To keep their beautiful fans occupied until the new LP is released (WHICH IS BEING MADE RIGHT NOW!!!) they're putting out 3 vinyls scattered out in the upcoming months, each with 2 songs on them. I don't even care that all together it's going to be $30 dollars, or that I already have a couple of the songs, this means PROGRESS. A CD that I've been waiting for for nearly two years is approaching and they're warming us up for it. Obviously I care a bit.


Last topic of the day:
Taryn had her open house thing at the high school tonight. Of course she had band practice, so she had to miss out on the hour long pep rally! I was unfortunate enough to have to endure the whole thing. I've never been one for school spirit and I definitely didn't get any goose bumps when they played the Fight Song a million times. The only thing that DID make me miss my old high school was when we went through her schedule and met all of her teachers. We stopped by Ms.E's class (the newspaper teacher whom I will alwwwways love dearly) and chatted with her for about 10 minutes. We reminisced about the NYC trip and all of the deadline messes and I honestly nearly cried. Then the strangest thing happened (it could have been more stranger, just go with me). She began talking about how she'll have to retire in a few years and find someone new to take the reigns and run the newspaper. Then my dad brought up the interesting idea of me doing it. Honestly, this idea has entered my mind before, but at this point I am so set at writing in a big city and getting out of this tiny town as soon as possibly, that I'm not sure what to think about the teaching position. She took a great liking to this possibility being brought up which freaked me out even more.
I just cannot deal with the fact that I'm old enough to start making life decisions like this.

Writing ending is difficult, so I'll cut this off now.

All strung out in song

It feels like everything residing in my mind is making its way to my throat in hopes of shoving its way out.
This is overwhelming.

I should probably stop thinking about last night so much.

Yes, that is a great idea.

I'm happy because I'm stupid

I promised stories, and boy do I have them!

I've neglected writing this for three hours, so if it is choppy and lame, blame it on my sleepiness and lack of caring.

Righty-o!

I picked up the lovely Lindsey at around 3:30 and we set off from there.

About 10 minutes away from entering Pensacola, I look over to see my manager from work driving right next to us. He starts mouthing things to me like "Where are you going?" and when he doesn't understand what I mouth back, he tells me to call him. The next 3 minutes consist of him trying to tell us his phone number through hand signals. It was hilarious.

When we called him, he informed us of some commotion involving guns at the local mall. Even though it was nowhere near where we needed to be, we made a special trip to it anyway to check it out. Cop cars were scattered everywhere and we saw a news team running the backside of the mall where we later saw them interviewing someone. By the time we got there things had luckily died down.

We found the venue way easier than I did when I attended a show there in February. We had an hour to kill before we could actually enter the building, so that was spent teasing people and being ridiculous.

After we paid, we got the best spot in the place and we patiently waited for the first band.

I will not comment on the 2nd band. Lindsey will understand why.

The Morning Of played third. I enjoyed them much more in person than I did while listening to their Myspace. And I cannot help but love any band that gets sooo into their shows. Cute shit.

I forget the name of the band that went on next. Something like Breathe Carolina? Haha. I'm super cheesy at 4 AM.

Anyway. This is the part of the story where I sport some huge ass smile as I type it out.

I see him. I saw him around a couple times earlier, but now here he is, setting up a mic stand not 4 feet away from me. I go super dorky and yell out his name. At this, he responds with that familiar goofy grin and I ask if he remembers me. He says yes, blah blah, my mind shuts off, and he is right above me asking me how I've been. At my answer, he throws himself at me and I find myself in the most amazing hug I have ever received. As his arms are around me, he says into my ear "I am so glad that you came." and some other stuff that I either didn't make out or got lost along with my brain the second he touched me.

Then he shifted my hair out of the way to read my Decemberists pin. I told him that I've been wearing it for almost 4 years (which is false. It's only 3, but at that point numbers were just some odd concept that I had not grasped yet.). He then proceeded to tell me about these bracelets he's wearing until they just fall off, yada yada. I forget what happened after that until he started to walk away, looking at me. I motioned for him to return and I asked him if they were playing a certain song. He smiled and told me they were and I replied with "Thank you" and he left me as a complete puddle of nothingness as he winked at me and said something that I have since forgotten.

When he walked away, Lindsey told me that during our flirty conversation, every girl was basically shooting daggers at me. I honestly hadn't realized that there was anyone else in the room with us.

The band was incredible and so dead on. We were all dancing and yelling along to the lyrics. He would glance over at me occasionally and at one point he threw himself at me. Then they started my favorite song and during the chorus, (the part that he put the microphone in my face for last time) the "me and you forever" part, he points at me as he says "you." Haha.

Let it be known that I honestly hate gushing over a musician like this. It makes me feel scummy and silly. Of course those feelings are not strong enough to stop me. It's kind of cute anyway.

When they were clearing off their equipment, some girls were trying to talk to him and showering him with praise and he began thanking them and looked over at me as he said "I love you." This story seems so strange when typed. Oh man.

We made friends with two girls and chatted with them as we were waiting for The Secret Handshake to finish setting up. When Luis (the main guy) finally came onto the stage, I went absolutely crazy.

They were wonderful and so much fun. There was even more dancing and even more singing along throughout the set. He played everything that I wanted to hear and a confetti gun was brought out to start off the last song. :]

As the crowd dispersed, we headed toward the merch table where I picked up a Secret Handshake shirt (pictured below) and poster. We then went over to Luis who signed my poster and took a picture with me.

I had to speak to boy before we left, so we located him and when we approached he greeted me with "Hey, babe" as if I had suddenly entered this dream world where he and I were a couple.

He wrapped his arm around me where he once again expressed how happy he was that I was there and then proceeded to give me another glorious (but now sweat-drenched) hug. We talked about random things (once again, my mind fell out and some of the conversation was swept away with it) until I brought up the Harry Potter books and asked if he had finished them yet. He felt so guilty and as he began to explain his laziness and how bad he felt, he gently squeezed the back of my left arm. Then I pulled out my camera and as I tried to take a picture, he took the camera from my grasp and took two pictures (one of which I love but will not post unless begged. I was caught off guard and I look completely mad). More hugs were exchanged and we talked about their upcoming show in the area in October and I asked him for his personal Myspace page, etc. As we said our goodbyes (and he threw out "I love you"s left and right), his hand moved down my arm and our fingers were nearly touching as we parted ways.

We walked to the car, in awe about what had just happened. Then we found the nicest looking gas station and ended the night with an Icee and great conversation on the hour trip back home.

My goodness, what a night.

The amazing shirt (taken from the website):

The only problem with it is the lack of an apostrophe between the N and T in "don't."

Now it's 5:17 AM and I have seriously taken ages to post this. Baby girl needs sleep.

OH and my sister starts high school today. Love you, Taryn <3

The Summer of Love Tour

I slept HORRIBLY. And what made it worse was that I had two different dreams where I ended up not going to the show tonight.
Bleh.

But alas, it was only a dream and we depart in less than two hours for a trip filled with New Found Glory sing-a-longs and the rehashing of old inside jokes.

Toniiiiiiiight (in case you haven't read any of my recent blogs):

Breathe Carolina!



The Secret Handshake!
We're getting there an hour before doors open, in hopes and being that close.


Expect pictures and stories when I return.

"I'm not playing a game. I just like your eyes. Did I just make things awkward? I think I did..."

Mark's going away party was fabbb.
I got to Sharon's boyfriend's place at around 6 and started blowing up balloons. From 6:30 to 7:00 people started to show up and then Sharon let to pick up Mark, brought him back to the apartment and we surprised the shit out of him.

That was followed by going outside to break a Dora the Explorer pinata... first with a sword, then with the end of a broom.
We came inside, ate, played with the mass of balloons, and made jokes while watching TV.
Some people cleared out and we made plans to go out to a night club but decided against it in the end. Instead, we went out to the beach and Teasha and I danced to the horrible music coming from the club and then we played an equally horrible game of volleyball.
THEN we sang along to old Used songs that we still know all the words to, took Mark home, tried to chase an ambulance, found Andrew's house and tried to wake him up by banging on his window (didn't work), played on the elementary school playground, went down random dark streets, and returned safely to our cars at the apartment building.

Ahh, and it was decided that this coming Friday, all of us will go to Nighttown (big night club in Destin) for college night. This will be my first night club experience.

FUN!

And now a few pictures:

Marky Mark.

Dora got it.

Andrew, Josh, and their (male) balloon dog.

Despite how creepy Mike's eyes look, this is pretty awesome.

THE SUMMER OF LOVE TOUR TONIGHT!!!

And I FINALLY took a picture of myself that I like.

I think I'll hit the hay a few hours early tonight :]

"No dad, I won't stay up too late."

Flickr has made me question photography.
What is the point of even snapping a picture if you're just going to photoshop the shit out of it?
Photoshop completely changes the meaning of photography.
When taking a picture, are you not trying to capture that moment in a single frame? So why try to change the shot completely?
It makes it seem fake and more like a painting than photography.

And now its 5:03 AM.



Currently Listening to: Abba

The past is only the future with the lights on

Can anyone explain to me why my face has been so itchy lately?
I don't know whether I should be concerned or pissed. The latter has been the current emotion.

I cannot take a decent picture of myself to save my life. I have to keep using the most ridiculous pictures as icons and defaults on Myspace. OH LIFE IS JUST SO DIFFICULT.

I need to shave my legs SO BADLY. It's way past the point of stubble and has reached jungle status where I am praying that no one can see the hair as the sun hits my legs, forcing my pale skin to glow (I also should probably not be wearing dresses at this point).

Tonight is Mark's going away to college surprise party (so hopefully he doesn't randomly find this blog before 7 PM tonight).

I had no idea that it was 4:39 AM. This is so depressing. My sister and I depended on Youtube to entertain us tonight and now it's this late (early) and I am ONCE AGAIN online.

And you know, tomorrow is BREATHE CAROLINA and THE SECRET HANDSHAKE!

Blah blah blah (enter boy gossip here) blah blah blah.

Read it and weep. I already have.

Health, Life, and Fire

My room is (basically) clean!
I went through my closet and took out shirts that I hardly ever wear, folded them, and reorganized them with the clothes in my dresser.
Then, I went through my underwear drawer (gasp!) and threw away so many pairs of undies. You have no idea how proud I am of myself.
There is space in my closet for clothes and room in my drawers for new panties and bras!
Summer cleaning has been done!


After that was completed, I broke out one of my notebooks and I am currently jotting down CD release dates of CDs I liked this year (to prepare myself for my end of the year list!!!). If I was as dedicated to school and life as I am to release dates, I might be way better off.


OHHH LIFE!

2 days!

So this is the ad for the Spanish basketball Olympic team.
As horrible as this is... I nearly pissed myself when I saw it.

OH! And I will not dye my hair until August 12, 2009.

This will be the most difficult thing that I have ever done.

I'll let you know when I fail miserably.

As of right now, I am going to see Of Montreal in November.
I'm trying not to get too excited, just in case something happens that prevents the trip from happening, buuttt !!!!!!!!!!!
:]

It's like that

YOU'RE MINE!!! <3

Well, you'll be mine in about a week when you arrive at my doorstep, begging to rest upon my bosom.

We're looking for a lot of love

Oh, the things that I could confess to you, my dear, sweet, Blogspot.
But I think it's best to keep these things to myself...
...for the first time in my life.

This Adultery is Ripe

Sometimes I honestly forget that I have this thing.

I'm freaking out because I feel so unprepared for the year to end.
There are so many CD's to buy, books to read and so much money to save up.
And yeah, there's school starting in less than 2 weeks.

I should probably be doing something other than trying to get mix CD's perfect and making jokes through AIM with my sister.
nahhhhh



But other than that, I can't really complain (any more than I already have).
I am so tired of stressing outtttttt.


Currently Listening to: The Blood Brothers

Lame update

I don't even really want to talk about last night. And what happened when I finished Catcher in the Rye.

So I won't.

I am updating for the sake of updating, so let's see what I can write about...
Alright!
I worked yesterday from 10-3. It was a blast as usual.
Then my dad and I went up to the college to get my school books and such.
THEEEN we spent about an hour and a half in the grocery store. It was such an uncessesary visit, but fun nonetheless.
Taryn got home from band at around 10 and I did nothing but read and watch Running With Scissors until 4:30 AM.

Today shall consist of:
Nothing.
Craft store with my mommy
Bookstore until 7PM
Pineapple Express!!! at 7:40 with Taryn and Elliot
:]

Then tomorrow at 2PM, Lindsey and I are going to see Mamma Mia! I'm way excited about getting to sing along to Abba in a theatre.

I suppose I should shower and switch my laundry.
Oh, fun.

Farrah, drives with her eyes closed

After two years of liking this band and occasionally throwing one of their CDs on, I think I have finally crossed into the "Why haven't I paid more attention to them?" zone. See also: I'm obsessing to the highest degree... especially over this tune:

Louise Louisa

This is the most amazing picture that I have ever seen.
After watching the sunrise yesterday morning, we got some breakfast and then went looking for a good place to park my car and eat it. That's when we realized that the Beth Shalom Temple was the best option. My sister decided to take pictures in front of the Temple as if it were some tourist attraction. Like I said... this is the most amazing picture that I have ever seen.

Racoon

Hahahah

I'm listening to my cluster of Kate Bush songs that I have on my Itunes and I saw that "Hounds of Love" would be next on the list, so I got pretty excited. After a song ended, I got pissed and started thinking that "Hounds of Love" got skipped.
No, I've just lost my mind and it played without me even noticing.


I blow myself away sometimes.


Anddd we're going to watch the sunrise again today!!! In about 3 hours. Woo 6 AM.

Anddddddd I have bangs again.

Anddddddddddd I need to get my ass on those damn CD reviews. It's going so slowly.
Maybe I'll upload some of the CDs and start listening and jotting down notes. Fuck, I freak out so badly before I write.

My lips are chapping.
I can finally do yoga again. It only took a week for my knee to feel alright. Too bad it still looks like shit.
