My bruise inspired me at 3 AM this morning...

Hopefully this picture does not need an explanation.

By the time you read this, I will have copyrighted the idea

There should be a TV show where two bands with the same name battle for the complete rights of the band name.

I can see it now (and it's ridiculous and I have no idea why I thought of this).
Both bands play a bunch of gigs in, say, New York City or LA (OR BOTH!). ORRR they can play in a big city and then several smaller cities to make the audience more broad. The bands can be similar or completely different (depending on how challenging you want to make the show) and they sell shirts at these shows. One band has a yellow shirt and the other band has a blue shirt. Fans will buy this shirt and as the season ends, whoever has the most fans (plus fans wearing the certain colored shirt of whatever band) will win a record contract and the rights to call their band __________.


TAAADAAA!

Oh, those silly boys in blue

First, a conversation that I had with myself while my sister was away from ze computer:

KnitTheStiletto 11:58pm: I just downloaded my first Lil Wayne song
KnitTheStiletto 11:59pm: It's AMAZING how he raps so clearly, but you can't make out anything he says whenever he talks
KnitTheStiletto 11:59pm: WHOA. WHAT'S UP WITH ALL THESE N WORDS?
KnitTheStiletto 11:59pm: Wait.
KnitTheStiletto 11:59pm: That sounded so bad
KnitTheStiletto 11:59pm: HAHAHHAH
KnitTheStiletto 11:59pm: I mean, him saying the N word... not... yeah


And now... my day... summed up because I'm busy (but not busy at all):

Alright, so my mom had been in bed all morning, terribly sick. I worked 12-5, and by the time that I got home, she was so much worse.

At 6 something, while my aunt was over bringing my mom some medicine, we decided that it was best to take her to the hospital.

My dad, aunt, and I spent 3 hours there and after my mom had tests run on her and a cat scan performed, it turned out that she had a viral infection (we were fearing that it was appendicitis) and had to let it run its course.



She's fine and it was one of the most horrible things to see her lying there in the bed, freezing and helpless.

And yeah, that's all I feel like saying

Teen fiction

I've realized that I cannot stand to read books about girls.

They dumb us down so much in literature (at least what is being put out right now) and it disgusts me. Even my beloved Georgia Nicolson is so blinded by the thought of boys, that she hardly thinks of anything else. Maybe I'm being too harsh because most of these girls are in the young teens where they are (kind of) supposed to be drooling over males and thinking that they are the center of the universe, but I don't doubt that I'm on to something. One glance in the teen section, and I lose multiple brain cells (as well as my cookies).

What sucks, though, is that I'm going through a teen fiction phase. Only the books I've been reading star an idiotic love-struck buffoon (Youth in Revolt) or a chemically imbalanced high-schooler that ends up on the adult floor of a psychiatric ward (It's Kind of a Funny Story).

Now I'm going to read Catcher in the Rye (for the first time, yes). I don't think that I've ever read this much in a year and it's only at a lousy 15 books so far.



Today:

Is my 5th day off from work

My knee is the ugliest that it's been, but I think that it may feel a tiny bit better

I'm going to go sell my old school books back to the college and hopefully get a nice amount of money for them

I need to do laundry

Andddd I got a Wombats ringtone!

Knobby knees and pools of vomit

As silly and nasty as the title may seem, it is most accurate.

Before I get to that, I'll go over yesterday a bit.

It began with three of Taryn's friends coming over to spend the night.

We went to the 3:10PM showing of Dark Knight (THAT MAKES THREE TIMES!) and then got some food.

Then we threw on our 3-D glasses and watched the premiere of Hannah Montana's Best of Both Worlds concert. (you may or may not remember that I saw this in theatres in Feb... blah blah blah)

I was irritated, so I decided that the best way to get that out would go stand in the fiction aisle of the book store (like I find myself doing more than often). That turned into a hide and go seek game with the girls and then, noticing that we were pissing off some customers, we relocated to Walmart.

It was brilliant. We split into teams and used our cell phones and had lookout sessions and everything. THEN, after a pee/cool off break, me and 2 girls broke off to hide and as we cut through the hat/jewelery/pool supplies section, I went down on my left knee. At first, I thought that I had slipped on some water or just lost my balance... ... ... that is until the smell got to me. As I blinked out tears and got to my feet, the girls had noticed what I was seconds away from realizing.

I had slipped in vomit. Someone's left behind vomit. In Walmart.

It was on my right sandal and the bottom of my pant leg, and the smell is one that burns the throat by just thinking about it.

We managed to find an employee who couldn't really have cared less if I was alright, so we headed to the bathroom where I put my right leg in the sink and smothered the bottom of my jeans in soap.

After I felt somewhat cleaner, I went into a stall where I stood, pants down, staring at my bruised, pointy, swollen, numb knee cap.

Check it:

Sharon met up with us in the bathroom, where we planned to meet up at my house and swim. And now you're (more or less) brought up to speed.

And my knee fucking hurts.

We hate your hate

I just fell in love with Broken Social Scene all over again.

Damn it feels good.

Loveeeeeeeee

I love this album!

I met with my counselor at the college this morning (hence why I was awake at 9 AM) and after about 30 minutes of trying to figure it out, I now have my schedule!

Psychology - Tues and Thurs 9:30-10:50
Humanities Intro - Tues and Thurs 11:00-12:20
Sociology - Mon and Weds 9:30-10:45
Creative Writing Mon and Weds 11:00-12:15

I'm expecting this semester to be pretty challenging, but after it is over, I believe I will have 43 credits, which is only 17 (or so) away from what I need to get my AA.
Basically, instead of taking 2 years to get this degree, it will take me 3 which I am more than alright with.

What happens in a year after I graduate, though, is what scares the shit out of me.


OH YES.
And I had a dream last night where I cut ALL of my hair off. I had this hideous, choppy hair cut. It was horrifying.
I reached my hand up my back and I couldn't feel my hair!
Nightmares!

Now my cereal, it is warm

Every now and then I insist on digging some sort of grave for myself.
I allow my emotions to get the best of me and before I know it, I'm texting some *person* and dumping out the contents of my chest to them.
Why?
Well, I have no clue. And frankly, this is a habit that needs breaking because now I have some *person* thinking that I like them when the reality of it is, I kind of do. But at the same time I don't. Not one bit. Actually, this *person* could never handle a girl with her own mind who stands up for what she believes in.
And I don't know if I could handle a *person* who is so devoted to some fairytale book.

So that's that. And this *person* will be making a special appearance at my place of work tonight. When I start digging, I can never stop.

It's never been like that

The past couple of days have been nice and somewhat eventful, but when it has come to my Blogger, I've just been completely lazy.

I worked on the night of the 17th, got off at 10, hurried home and my dad, Taryn, Meg, and I rushed off to Destin for the midnight sowing of THE DARK KNIGHT!!!
From here I can easily go into my 20 year old love for Batman, but I'll spare you.
The movie was absolutely fucking incredible. Christian Bale is really a great Batman and Heath Ledger completely blew me away.
As the lights went down in the theatre and the previews started at 12:01AM, we rang in my dad's 43rd birthday. That made it all more special.

Friday night we held a big party which I won't even get into. Hippies, drinking, and drinking kind of sum it up.

Yesterday (Saturday, since it is nearly 4AM) I worked and then came home to my sister's friend sitting in the living room, wearing one of our scary ass white masks, trying to act out a scene from The Strangers. They unfortunately did not get the reaction that they were awaiting, because there was no screaming or pissing of the pants on my end.
I cannot make anything flow tonight. I need to go to sleep.

ANYWAY. At 10:58 PM I got the urge to go see Dark Knight again, so we rushed down to the theatre (already 8 minutes late- 20 by the time we got there) to find out that they were no longer selling tickets for the 10:50 showing.
So we headed over to Sonic, the server stared down the top of my dress, and we sang along to the same song a million times.
Then we ended up in Walmart (that always happened) and I bought some more school supplies INCLUDING the best pens ever (Bic Atlantis <3). So I was excited about that.

Now I'm goneee.

OH, SUMMER!

OH GOODNESS.

Is it true? Could I really be seeing Breathe Carolina THREE times this year? July 9th, August 16th, and October 25th!

For once, my area is getting decent shows. Eh, kind of. They're mostly bands that I like, but noone that I worship (with some exceptions).

Either way, this is wonderful news.

I kind of made a new Muxtape if anyone checks that out.

And I have the worst headache and here's why...

I present to you... the most hideous and nasty smelling thing that I have ever let touch my body:

(well... as far as clothing goes)

A couple weeks ago, while cleaning the bathroom, I got a few spots of bleach on my purple-ish skirt that I wear as a dress. While cleaning the bathroom again the other day, I got even more on it. It made a really cute shade of pink and for some reason I had it in my head that by adding more bleach to it, it would lighten up to that same shade of pink.

I was wrong as any wrong thing could be! After taking it out of the dryer earlier yesterday and seeing that the whle backside hadn't changed a bit, I layed it out and bleached the shit out of it. Now it's hideous (in an almost cute way) and smells like shit. It was a pain in the ass to wear and it even feels like hair that has been bleached too much.

So that's it.

OH YEAH! And here's my current pride and joy:

Stephen Colbert on a tote bag. I had been eyeing this for months and now he rests on my shoulder all day. I love that man.

Currently Listening to: The Rocket Summer. Gah, I love them.

When nothing makes you feel good, then nothing makes you feel good

• I love being able to listen to CDs in my car again
• I understood the stuff we went over in math last night
• I love yoga
• I trimmed my hair and I'm pretty sure that it's uneven
• I've watched Hot Rod twice in the past day.
• I've actually been listening to whole CDs at a time lately instead of relying on shuffle
• I bought two CDs Sunday and only spent $18.00
• I almost got killed by bugs while pumping my gas last night and was forced to jump into my car and roar off with bugs hanging out ON my car
• My sister and I are going to start a band

And I have no idea why this wasn't brought up last week, but my mom came to my room last Wednesday, woke me up, and started freaking out. She was holding a bag full of manialla envelopes from record labels. Enclosed in these envelopes were CDs, random papers about the artists on the albums, etc. 10 CDs for me to review for my dad's friend's local magazine and I get to keep every one of them. I'm basically excited and a nervous wreck at the same time. I've only written reviews for my high school newspaper and I have no idea if those were ever worth a shit and now people who care will actually be reading them. Bleh.

I need to start on those, actually.

I only played chess once in my life and I lost

So why was July 9th such a wonderful day/night?
Would you prefer the long or condensed version?
Long? Good, because I have no idea how to condense anything that I say.

A few months ago my sister found out that one of her favorite bands was coming to our area. I really had no interest in taking her but was willing to. Her and her friend Courtney have been wanting to see this band together for over a year. This was their chance.
Then, when Courtney brought it up to her parents, her mom offered to take her and my sister which was cool by me.
About a week after this was decided, I listened to one of the bands on the flyer, Breathe Carolina. I instantly fell fucking head over heels for their catchy, dancy music. I came to the conclusion that I had to attend this show.
Well, more time passed and the show was nearing and her mom hadn't brought up taking them since that one time a few weeks back. Then her parent's were concerned about her missing a color guard practice.
Anyway, all of that got fixed and 20 minutes before we were about to leave for Pensacola, we got the call from her saying that she could definitely come.
We arrived there with about 30 minutes to go before the doors would be opened. We sweat our asses off as I played with my new cell phone.
Finally we were allowed in and we made our way to the empty spot at the stage where we stayed for the whole show.
The show actually started on time (6:30) and the first band was decent. The 2nd band was horrid, the third was alright, and then it was time for Breathe Carolina to take the stage.
They had a smoke machine, an insane light show, and a fucking keytar. Due to time constraints, they were allowed 25 minutes which equalled out to 4 songs. We were all dancing and I was screaming along to the few lyrics I knew and then they started to play my favorite song of theirs. I went completely crazy. As Kyle (the screamer in the band) made his way around the stage, he came over to our side and was right above me (I swear his eyes were focused on my tits) for about 10 seconds. Not even a minute later he made his way back to our side and bent down right in front of my face with the microphone and there I was, yelling the lyrics along with him. What's funny (but hardly funny) is that the lyrics were "...me and you forever, me and you forever..."
The band after them was A Skylit Drive, who are the reason we made the hour trip in the first place. Taryn and Courtney were hilarious to watch as they screamed along and actually started to head bang at one point.

We left the stage as the last band was setting up. The girls wanted to meet the band members and I was interested in talking to Kyle from B.C. The girls lost themselves completely as they walked from band member to band member, blushing, and asking them to sign their poster. Incredibly adorable.

I approach Kyle and ask him to sign my poster and he has to dig for a sharpie. He signs it and we begin talking about all the technical difficulties every band had been having to deal with all night and about his band coming back next month. He hugs me about 50 times in this 5-7 minute span and tells me that he hopes to see me at the show in August and blah blah blah. The boy is gorgeous and was completely interesting to talk to. It felt like there was no one else in the heavily crowded room as we hugged and talked.
I walk back over the Taryn and Court where they're all smiles and stop going into some silliness that included "Omg, he's in love with you! Did you see the way he was looking at you?!" etc. And as of right now I still don't know if he's just like that with every fan (the girls observed and said that he was not) or if he was a bit flirty (my at times shitty self esteem says nah).
ANYWAY.
The next band was ready by the time all of this excitement was over, so we stopped to watch them and make fun of the kids "hardcore dancing."
When they were done and the show was officially over and the clock was showing 11PM, I followed the girls around a bit more as they got more autographs and pictures. Then, the other main guy in B.C. (David) appeared from wherever he had been hiding all night, and I got him to sign my poster and talked to him for a couple.
I decided that I had to talk to Kyle again. About what, I had no idea.
Instead of standing around, waiting for him to finish chatting it up with other band members and looking like a total tool, I followed the girls around some more (I guess I still looked like a bit of a tool, hah) and then I had my moment. He left his group to talk to us and I thanked him again for whatever it was I was thanking him for (being in a great band? playing that night? whatever.) He followed that by more hugging and thanking us for being there and enjoying the music. Some other things were said and then he spotted my sister's Harry Potter jacket and expressed his love for H.P. which was quickly followed by him admitting that he had not read the 6th OR 7th book. I teased him about that and told to be done with them by the time I see him next month.
Let me stop right here and go completely girly. The whole time I would be talking to him, he was looking me dead in the eyes. My knees went weak, my mind went hazy and it was absolutely amazing. Then his eyes would shift away and he would be looking all over my face as if he were searching for an answer to some unasked question. He also kept this brilliant smile as I was talking and I never felt for a second that he wasn't interested in what I had to say.
This was all followed by more hugs (naturally) and he gave me the sweetest wink that I had ever received. He thanked us for talking to him and we returned the thanks to which he replied "Why wouldn't I talk to you guys? I'm just some guy hanging out" to which I said "...playing incredible music." and he went in for (another) hug and as his mouth was right by my ear he said "I'm glad you think so." As we said our final goodbye he had his arm around me and then squeezed the back of my arm right before we walked away.

Yeah, this is less about the concert and more about my being smitten over a boy in a touring band who probably acts this way with everyone.

I'm going to go make a new Muxtape thang which will probably take me about 30 minutes. The link is on the sidebar :]

Currently Listening to: Metro Station

Yes, this is getting its own post

The Pensacola trip last Saturday was a complete blast. It was Taryn, Meagan and I. The trip started off with going to the wrong town house to pick up Meg. On the way there, we decided that our first stop would be the graffiti bridge:

Although you cannot see it in this picture, there are train tracks that run all across the top of it. We climbed up top and this was our view:

Seeing that there were other people walking along the tracks, we decided to have our own Stand by Me moment (all of which was supposed to be a joke). We begin walking along the tracks and as soon as we hit the tracks that are over the water, I completely freeze up. I'm petrified of not only heights, but possible death and that seemed like a perfectly logical possibility at the time (but who knew that we had bigger problems coming our way... literally?) My sister takes me hand and kind of coaches me over each track, which is silly sounding, really, but was much appreciated. We stop near the middle with about halfway to go before we get over the water. When we stop to take pictures and whatever, my sister begins walking ahead on the right side where there is no railing. Meg picks up where Taryn left off and helps me get over the steps. As I'm paying too close attention to my two sandaled feet as they slowly try to take on two tracks at a time, Meagan decides that it's a great time to blurt one, frantic word. Her word of choice? "Train." I look up to see this rusty, steaming mass nearing the very tracks that we are planted on and I look to my sister, who is luckily at the end of the tracks above the water and I watch her run to the side where stacks of rocks are set up. I cannot even begin to express how thankful I was to see her get to safety and not be left with the only choice of jumping into the terrifying water below us. I snap back into it and realize that I've been yelling "WHAT DO WE DO, WHAT DO WE DO, WHAT DO WE DO????!!!" to Meagan in the most shaky excuse for a voice that I could muster. Since we were not even close to reaching the end of the tracks, she led me to the left side where all that we had to stand on was the most unsteady metal thing and two wires to hold onto to. We started to run as fast as the thing we were standing on would allow us to and then it happened. That huge gust of wind that makes your insides completely shrivel up. I wish I could replay those moments and watch from the sidelines. There were were, holding on to two shitty wires for dear life as a train rushed pass us at who knows what speed. It was the most terrifying thing that I have ever experienced. I was separated from my sister, and I just knew that it was only a matter of seconds until my purse would be forced from my shoulder and swept into the way of the train. I forced my eyes open to see Meagan handling things much better than I was and she began to shout for me to hold onto the wire and follow her to the end where the rocks were. The train continued on its way and we finally made it to the end. I stood there, gripping the last of the wire and standing on the first few rocks, aching and once again, frozen. We stood there for a few seconds and then I broke down and started to cry. She started down the rocks and I slowly followed her as my knees buckled and I tried to catch my breath.

To get an idea of where we were. This was taken when I got halfway down the mountain of rocks:

Minutes before, we were standing on that shitty metal grate and clenching that wire.

We're still separated from my sister at this point and we eventually call her to run underneath the bridge to the side we're on when we notice that the train is nowhere near done. We meet up, freak out together, wait for the train to pass, and somehow make our way across the tracks back to the car.

After all of the excitement, we almost ended up in Alabama, walked around the mall where Taryn tried to walk up the down escalator and got yelled at by a worker. Then we went across the street to eat at Whataburger and pretty much annoy the workers with our choice of jukebox music. First Meg went up and selected two Backstreet Boys songs and one Nsync song and we sang along. Then I fished out the 50 cents from my wallet and made my own selection: "Let's Get it On." It was more than amazing and I think that we laughed and gasped for air the whole way through it. After that we spent about an hour playing with every toy in Toys R Us and purchased a huge green Frisbee type thing. We ended the trip with getting lost trying to find the graffiti bridge again after buying two huge sharpies.

A horrid picture, but one of maybe three that I can tolerate to post. Note the fabulous Kevin Jonas button.

Stuff

Ohhhhhh, I have become SO lazy with this thing and I apologize (more so to myself because now I'm not documenting ANYTHING about my boring life anywhere).
Last Saturday, my sister, her friend, and myself almost got killed by a train and I haven't even mentioned it in here. Random, stupid shit has been happening and it's only stored in my mind (and how reliable is that these days?)
SO LET ME FILL YOU IN, though I am trying to fight off the lazy part of me that couldn't really care less about maintaining a blog.

Ugh, I've waited 30 minutes and I've lost all interest in this blog.

OKAY OKAY OKAY.
Depite the fact that I should really make this a picture blog and include so many pointless details, etc... I'm going to do a quick bulleted update.

• I turn 20 in less than a day.
• I'm having a birthday dinner at Friday's tonight at 8PM
• I'm planning on kind of dressing up and actually trying to look decent.
• After the dinner, we are going COSMIC BOWLING. Ah yes.
• I have loads of math homework that I couldn't give a shit less about at this moment.
• I am sick of a certain male leaving and then reentering my life when I thought that I was completely over him... only to find that I am not.
• I just ordered a new cell phone. I haven't had minutes on my other one in so long that it just stopped working. That goes to show how much I care about electronics. BUT, after realizing it was for sure dead, I decided that I need one anyway just in case. So, for twenty one dollars and nineteen cents, I bought the really adorable Virgin Slice and I cannot wait for it to arrive.
• Work yesterday dragged on like crazy and being the fourth and all, we were actually somewhat busy.
• After work it was fireworks time! My parents decided not to join us and booze it up with their friends instead this year and after a few tears were shed and we drove away, pissed, we managed to have a really decent time with my sister's best friend and her family.
• I spent $5.09 on a new ring for my nose yesterday, only to get home, try to shove it in and realize that it was the wrong gauge. So now I have my old hoop with no ball, just chilling in my nose and I have to sleep tonight and hope that it wion't fall out until I can get another one.
• Speaking of things to do tomorrow (well, today) I've made a list! I don't feel like scanning it and it's short anyway, but here it is: Shave, pluck eyebrows, call Friday's, call the bowling alley, pick up my (HANNAH MONTANA) cake, do laundry, get my mom to finish sewing my dress, find a new nose ring, do my hair, find something to wear (if I decide against the dress), possibly run by the store and get plates for the cake, and there are a few random additions on the list.

Blah blah blah, etc.
