What pisses me off - March 1st

Happy March! Its officially been 9 months without Kelli as of about two hours ago. So much has happened. It was just over a year ago that we found out it came back, and then 4 months later she was gone. :(

Anyway...here's my piss-off. Seriously. I'm going to rant a lot so be prepared. :)



So this was taken from an "OMG TWILIGHT SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN AN OSCAR RPATTZ IS SO SEXY" set on polyvore. I'm the_wanderer and i'm trying to show this imbescils that twilight is a horrible movie and blah blah blah.

Twilight, while an enjoyable read isn't that great. It also isn't real literature. I think one of the comments in the set was "Wall-E won an award so why not Twilight?"

UMMMMM BECAUSE THERE'S A FREAKING ANIMATED CATEGORY. losers.

so yeah..that's what really makes me mad. I'm going to go now before I ramble way too much!

Gloriana

Ahem...look at them. They're so cute right? Anyway...take a look again, now look harder. Do you recognize anyone? Think hard? Now take a guess.

Do you know who I'm talking about yet? Its the blonde. You sure about who it is?

Its Cheyenne Kimball, the girl who had that show on MTV and put out a CD and she had like 3 good songs? Now she's country. Wierd right?

Anyway....I LOVE THEM. AHH. Posting links to my new fave song on youtube. Go buy it too, its amazing, its called "Wild At Heart." Did I mention that they're like the next big thing in Nashville AND they're going on tour with Taylor Swift so I get to see them LIVE!!!! AHHHH YES!!!!

So take a listen, be amazed. I love them...but I mentioned that already.

I don't really know what to say

here. I feel like I should make a post but of what I really don't know. Anyway, random picture time!


Sunset looking out over the Hudson...I took it in the fall maybe.





Anyway...I love my twitter updates...you guys should get them! All of them are on the right. I've recorded more videos but the balance is off and they won't go to youtube, so once I redo them, they'll be up.

Ummm I love my American Civil War history class...like today I sat there learning about how South Carolina basically caused the whole war and that Abraham contradicted himself like 24/7.

Also, here's what is really making me mad recently. This whole letthetaxpayerspayforotherpeoplesmortagesbecausetheycan'taffordtheirhousesbecausethebankslike nadohmygoshwe'reallgoingtodieinworldwarthreeandmexicoisgoingtocollapseandwe'reallgoingtodietheretoo.

I really don't agree with that whole bill Obama's trying to pass, but since I really can't change it, oh well. That is just kinda stupid I think.

And, for the first time in like 3 years, I went bathing suit shopping and freaking loved how my body looked. Yay for spring break in like a month. Did I tell you guys I'm going home? Home being the place I was born....not where my family lives...ha.

So..hmmm...that's enough ramblingness. I'm going to go eat Klondike's and sleep...not at the same time obvouisly.

Twitter :)

So, I got one about a week ago. My mom made one too. Its like, going to be how we're keeping intouch a bit. So...if you have a twitter or are making one (DO IT) then follow me and I'll follow you.

Oh...my username is santorini009, just like AIM and my twitter updates are on the right side bar thing-y.

I guess the best way to describe is, umm...basically your facebook status. But...since I don't have a facebook, and don't need one, I have a twitter.

So I think that you guys should make one.

For your enjoyment!!! FINALLY

So I cut the song....Its the verse 1/2 of the 1st verse, and the chorus. She does this cool slappy thing with the strings at "head first, fearless" but I dunno how to do it...I tried and failed. Gosh...I love the song so much. I'm posting her version too. Its also done without a capo - which makes it lower than Taylor's version. I'm very proud of myself to have come this far in just a few weeks!


Ehh.....enjoy. Its not great.....I just did it like 5 minutes ago. I do have a cold so my voice isn't great...and the fact that I haven't had to "sing" sing. So yeah....blehhh.


^that's the version that made me fall inlove with the song in summer 07...like I cried.

BTW....its taken me atleast 5 hours and trying to upload my cover 6 different ways...but its finally up. YAY!

I also kinda feel like I'm writing this blog for no one. Nobody comments me anymore. (hinthint)So let me hear you opinions please

I hope your ear's don't bleed...(me playing guitar)

I have a cold so my singing isn't great. Also I haven't sang with a purpose for over a year now. And I've only been playing for about three weeks now...so i'm not great. But here it is. Comments would be lovely...I'd love opinions. I know it needs work....but I just learned it yesterday. Its only the first verse, and chorus. Its more guitar than singing....but you can hear it all going horribly.



There was actually a better attempt recorded, but I had it on voice changing and it made it all deep and the guitar sound like a really loud cackle-y bass.



Ahh...welll the video has been uploading for about three hours now. So I give up. Sorry Morena and Mom! I"ll put it on youtube tommarow. I promise!

The 2 AM epiphany......and Fearless.

I realized that nothing can change the past and that I'm going to hurt and hurt often. But I will continue to live and be a person. Nothing can change the fact that one of my best friends died. I've accepted it in my head but my heart hasn't and maybe never will. Maybe I'll never have all of me accept it. I don't think its possible.

I think i've completed the whole 5 steps of greiving. And I'm going to live because she can't because I know she knows that the eight months I spent......well, you know.


In other news, the whole learning guitar is going amazingly. I can play "Fearless" by Taylor Swift....like great song. Amazing. If you haven't heard it...go listen. And find an acoutic version.

I think what I love most about the song is the fact that love is fearless. Its being with someone who makes you feel fearless. Its dancing in the rain and first kisses that are fearless. Driving down the road and feeling fearless just because of the guy who's driving you. Besides, what's life if you are fearless?

My two most recent epiphanies.

Leaning Tower of Pisa.
Taken by Me, summer 05.

1-Don't be an idiot. Don't get drunk at parties where you can be arrested. Don't go to parties like that period. Don't call your older sister and complain that your parent's have taken away everything...and don't try to make people feel sorry for yourself. Don't think its cool to get drunk. Don't think its cool to get high. Don't do those things. period. It's stupid and you will get introuble. I am so glad I was never that person. I'm glad that I have and had good friends who are perfectly content with staying in and eating pizza and Chinese take out, watching movies and playing games.





2-I think that I wasn't ever actually done with the whole therapy thing. I was looking at signs of depression and rapid mood swings are a sign, and also the whole holding everything in and then building up like a volcano suddenly flipping out at the littlest thing. Honestly, I miss the whole talking to a stranger about myself thing. Its nice. I think I'll call Kim tommarow morning and figure out if I really need this or if its just in my head.

Writing

I think I mentioned awhile back that I was writing. Well...right now I have a 50 page Word document printing right now. I don't really know what to do with it.

Its a memior. I think that after I reread it and edit it, I'll send it to a few publishers and see if anything happens. If it doesn't then ohwell. I should post bits for you to read.

I think its good.


Oh...I downloaded the Shakespearre app for my itouch and that's all I do now. I just read my favorite plays. I love that class too, its amazing. And I got a C on my last paper, not good....but eh....what can I do about that?
