Super Bien!

It was cold yesterday. It was amazing. I was freezing, but it was amazing. I loved it. I wish I froze at every practice.

Fact: The only time you will hear someone say "It was cold, and my fingers nearly fell off, but THANK GOD for the weather" is when they are:
A- A penguin
B- Delusional
C- A member of a marching band in South Dakota

But, to be fair, if you think it's a penguin and it's talking, perhaps you are the delusional one.

That is all for today, this was all I could come up with while I was mowing the lawn.

Homework:
AP Stats. Racist?
AP World History. Notes for test.
Spanish 3. Paragraph about my summer. I wonder if I can include the words Auschwitz and hell?

I Really Shouldn't Have

I was going to wait. I really was. Just like for Viva La Cobra, which I at least waited until it was out. But the temptation was just too much.

Fast Times At Barrington High reminds me why I love TAI. It's soooo much better than I expected. And sure, it seems to be more poppy-er, but it's not bad. I really didn't like Santi, and this has just renewed my faith in them. Forever Young = Summer Hair is stuck in my head. It's damn catchy. And His Girl Friday, also. Beware! Cougar! makes me laugh. Coppertone is awesome.

FADSFFHAKGJKLSDFJDSAKLJ

OMH. OMH. OMH. OMFH. If this doesn't cause you to have a heart attack I don't know what will. This is about a trillion times more exciting than TAI's new album. Not that I don't love TAI. All Along sounds super good. And I already have Daylight and Stand Up. They're love. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I don't know if I've ever been this excited for a CD besides Panic! And TBS' new album is coming out soon, and TAI's is next Tuesday. Anything else interesting? Um... nope.

Parent's night on Friday. Suckage.

Jon og Walker. Oppdater En.

Jon bit meg igjen i dag. Jeg tror at jeg vil måtte være en bit kvikkere ved kasteen de rå potetene ned til dem, synes de til å vokse smart. Hvilken er meget uvanlig, gi deres genetiske. Undersøk www.gremlinsex.com til å lære kunner om dem forresten. Jeg antar jeg burde gi statistikk for kunner av deg som ikke vet om dem. Hvilken er alle unntar Kaitlyn. Jon er en kvinne, alder sju. Walker er en hann, alder fem. Jeg kom til å «få» dem endag da de knoppet av min arm. Som en STD. Deres far som blir fao blir stengedd til dem mens mating dem endag, og de gjorde merenn biter ham. De reproduserer ved å knoppe. Som vorter. Som STD. Eller som gremlins. Du vet ikke hvordan gremlins reproduserer ? Google som driter. Jeg har måttet ty til å slå dem til å beholde dem av meg. Du ville tro at etter år av å leve i min kjeller de ville være vant til meg sacking dem med døde grener. Tydelig ikke. Mine «barn» er helt herlige virkelig. De kan få kaitlynøyne til øye med deres sinn. Alle de tidene som hun trodde det var fra å stirre på dataskjermen det var virkelig Jon og Walker. De drar også inn i hennes hus og stjeler klær. Walker elsker hennes korte shorts spesielt. Lett tilgang og all. De kan ikke børste deres tenner fordi de blir steril, og de ville aldri tillate det. Varm opp. Hva ellers ? Ikke mer oppdatere nå, shriekingr de i kjelleren. En oppdatering vil komme eventuelt. Når de gjør noe... interessant.

Sorry, they speak Gremlin. Which isn't the same as English. Mad props if you can figure out which language this is and actually read what I wrote.

[... Let's Pick Up, Pick Up]

This Was No Accident...

How do you even begin to describe something as amazing as last night? How do you convey the emotions you felt as you saw your favorite band, the one you adopted when they were just starting out, still included El Diablo, and had those terrible haircuts, preform the greatest concert ever? How do you remember every little detail from it, to replay in your mind every time you have a moment to yourself? How do you explain to people what truly happened? How do tell the story without forgetting something, only to remember later? How do you keep from thinking about it? How do you convince yourself that it wasn't really that amazing? How do you keep your mouth shut when people look like they want to kill you because you've told them the same fucking story 4 times now? How do you put into words what you felt and what you witnessed as just another person in the crowd? How do you make someone feel as if they were there, properly, and not just imagining it?

Answer: You don't.

That concert made me realize how much I do love them. I mean, I know the extent of my love, and I'm sure you all do too, but watching them play Camisado literally brought tears to my eyes. It's been almost 2 years since we saw them last, and a lot has changed, with us and with them. They've exploded onto "the scene", and we've matured and switched schools. We've made new friends and lost some. They've gained fans and lost some. I was nervous about Pretty. Odd. I was, terrified in fact. What was going to happen if I hated that album? I couldn't just drop them, they're my favorite band. Favorite. I have a lot of favorite things, and I tend to use the word loosely. This is my absolute favorite band in the entire world. How was I to know that they would get so big, so fast? Obviously they weren't playing in bars when I discovered them, but they weren't playing in amphitheatres either. I'm so proud of them, and I hope they continue to amaze and astound.

Lying... also brought tears to my eyes. This is what started it all. A song about "fucking" as Brendon says. This song is the highest played Panic! song I have for a reason. They played this at the Nothing Rhymes With Circus show and for me to hear it at the Honda Civic Tour brought back memories from over 2 years ago. They played it just as good as they did 2 years ago.

I'm sure most of you know that Camisado is my favorite Panic! song ever. It's not that I can relate, no alcoholic dad for me, but it connected with me in a way I don't even know. I was singing along at the top of my lungs at the NRWC show, terribly, I might add. HCT was a bit different. Okay, so they've got 2 solid albums out, roughly 28 songs. Which do they play? I was assuming that they would play all the singles and the most well known. They played most of those, but then for us "die-hard" fans, they threw in a couple less well-known songs off AFYCSO. They played Camisado and I started screaming and singing and laughing and tearing up all at the same time. It's amazing what Panic! At The Disco can cause you to do. Brendon, Ryan, Spencer, and Jon, I am so grateful for everything you do.

Oh God, this is a sap post again! DAMN! I'm gonna have to lighten my life up a bit...

I just wanted to post and say thank you to everyone that was there, it was unbelievable to spend that night with you and to say that we share the memories. Love you guys!



...This Was A Therapeutic Chain Of Events.

Just When You Thought It Wasn't Possible...

To become a human tomato, here I am to prove you wrong. Yep, I'm a tomato. Or, "I'm like a lobster". Clever similies and metaphors right there. Well, maybe not so clever.

Okay, so it's the first official day of not having school and I'm sitting here writing a blog post. I hope this isn't reflective of the rest of my summer... Not that I don't love you guys and all. I also have to mow the lawn today. Dad said I should be careful, it's already been crashed into our swingset by Alex. Why Dad let him mow I have no idea. I was very upset until Dad said he wasn't getting paid. Then all was well in the world.



Okay, back to why I'm a human tomato. Well, Hailee and I decided to go kayaking to the point to look at the carp. Where we go Alex goes, so he tagged along. I had put sunscreen on my face prior to this, when I decided that I was going to tan on our porch. Yes, I do actually lay out there sometimes. Not often, that's for sure. Well, to be honest, I didn't even think about using sunscreen. The water was cold, that was my rational. Anyways, we got to the point and the carp were being carp and splashing us because we were interuppting their mating. It was great fun actually, I love running the carp over while they're in the middle of procreating. It makes me feel powerful, like God or something... No, I didn't just say that. Anyways, Hailee then had the bright idea to go to the bridge. We were certain it was just around the other side of the point. Suffice to say, it wasn't. We continued on though, the arm muscles weren't even sore yet. Key word: yet. We eventually kayaked down to the next point. We still hadn't seen the bridge, but we were confident it wasn't too far away. Haha, yeah. So, we started kayaking to what looked like a bridge and were oh-so-thankful to see that it was. So we parked our kayaks on the beach and ran to the water underneath it. This is going to be hard to explain, so create an image in your mind. Okay, it's like this little stream coming from a reservior. There are carp in it, and the water is like 10 inches deep. Yeah, the carp weren't even fully submerged. There was a pretty strong current flowing down to the lake, but the carp wanted to be upstream. So they were being salmon and going against it. Nothing can be salmon except salmon, so it wasn't working that great. Anyways, we hopped in the stream, played with the salmon, walked upstream. Swam a little in the reservior and decided to go back, because Zoey was coming and we didn't want her to be pissed. This was at like 3:00. We got back to the cabin at 4 and Zoey had been spending an hour with my mom. Zoey, if you see this, I'm sorry! But in total we went 6 miles in 4 hours. Without sunscreen... Okay, picture time!
