college stuff

2006-10-31T22:24:59Z

so i've sent in my first college application to UVA and now i just have to wait until december first or some time around then to know if i got in or not... but i have to turn in another college application on that day, which is slightly annoying because if i do get into UVA, i have to go there so applying to another school would be a waste of time and money.

and i hate waiting to know that i can't change anything about the application or myself and i just have to hope that the college likes who i am as a student and accepts me... which is a terrible thing to wait for... but w/e

JULY!!!!!!!!

2006-07-04T04:10:41Z

It's finnaly July, which is so exciting for me.
I mean, I always love July because it's my birthday month, but this year, it's gonna be even more awesome!!

So tonight there were the fireworks, which were awesome, and then tomorrow is the parade and then a bunch of my friends and I are gonna hang out for basically the rest of the day and play mafia and whatnot.

Then, on the 8th, I'm leaving with my brothers for New Hampshire, where we're gonna hike up Mt. Washington and I'm gonna be gone for three days. Now, we're not woosie so we're actually hiking and staying in a tent for two of the nights, and in the lodge one of the nights. It's gonna be awesome because its just us and we hardly get to see each other any other time of the year except for the holidays, which are totally annoying because the whole family is there. Anyways, when we're not hiking, we're almost always playing cards, which is so fun. There is this card game called fan tan and it's supposed to be played with chips, but last summer we didn't bring chips so we played with pepples instead, which was really funny. Oh, also, we get to ride on the Kanga Mangus highway (it's not much different from any other highway, but the name is really entertaining). We're trying to make this an annual thing, which is sweet.

Then, of course, there is my birthday on the 17th, and my parents are putting what little money they now have together and buying me a digital camera, which is gonna be sweet!!! And of course, I'll get money, which is always a good thing.

And during the last week in July, I'm going to camp (yes, camp) and it is in Rhode Island and I'm leaving Sunday the 23rd and coming back on Friday the 28th, and my friend from this camp last year is going too and I can't wait to see her again. At this camp, we get to go to Six Flags and the mall and arcade places and a drive in movie theatre with three screens each playing two different movies, and the beach and all sorts of other cool places.

So that's why I'm excited for it to finally be July.
Oh, and also, my senior picture day is on my birthday (great planning.... NOT), but I'm too lazy to change it.

Oh, also this is the first year we're having summer mb practices, which is good, but kinda annoying, but I can't wait to see what our show songs are going to be. I kind of want to play some songs from West Side Story, which is a possiblility.

Also, Pirates of the Caribbean 2 is coming out on July 7th!!!!!

finally

2006-03-21T02:03:06Z

I FINISHED MY LAST ACTUAL SAT CLASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
now all i have is a practice of an actual SAT on saturday and then the actual SAT on april 1st... and then I'M DONE FOREVER!!!!!! (unless i totally screw up this one, but hopefully i won't)

stupid college stuff

2006-03-19T21:39:55Z

so yeah... the whole college application stuff and searching for colleges thing is really stupid and terribly annoying

so i have the junior packet due on friday, which includes a list of colleges that i am thinking about (each one labeled safety, target, or reach), 3 college essays, one of which i have due tomorrow in english, a list of things we've done recently, like activities and shit, and then some other random information, like where ur parents went to college and that kinda crap

so yeah... i really hate all of these letters i'm getting in the mail from different colleges, but it's funny cause whenever i see one from somewhere cold, i just stick it in the very back of my drawer, cause there is NO WAY i'm staying in the cold weather... I WANT IT TO BE WARM OUTSIDE

oh... i saw this college in london, and although it isn't warm there, it doesn't snow much, and it doesn't get quite as cold as it does here... although it is really rainy, but whatever, it would be awesome, but very expensive, and my dad decided to spend all of the fucking money on STUPID fucking stuff that did absolutely nothing for anyone and i hate him for that cause he's ripping me off of a lot of things, like going to a college far away, which i want cause i wanna get outta here, and things like insurance that i needed to get when i got my license and shit like that... he just bugs the crap outta me... and plus, my mom's like... always lock the car doors now and the house doors too, just in case, and i'm like... wtf

w/e

as u can probably tell... i'm just procrastinating as much as possible cause i really don't want to write my college essay... and besides, i don't even know what to write about... so yeah

good song lyrics... i'm bored

Lyrics: S.O.S. by Good Charlotte
Is anybody listening?
Can they hear me when I call?
I'm shooting signals in the air
'Cause I need somebody's help
I can't make it on my own
So I'm giving up myself
Is anybody listening
Listening

I've been stranded here and I'm miles away
Making signals hoping they'd save me
I lock myself inside these walls
'Cause out there I'm always wrong
I don't think I'm gonna make it
So while I'm sitting here
On the eve of my defeat
I'll write this letter and hope it saves me

Is anybody listening?
Can they hear me when I call?
Shooting signals in the air
'Cause I need somebody's help
I can't make it on my own
So I'm giving up myself
Is anybody listening
Listening

I'm stuck in my own head and I'm oceans away
Would anybody notice if I chose to stay?
I'll send an SOS tonight
Wonder if I will survive
How in the hell did I get so far away this time
So now I'm sitting here
The time of my departure's near
I say a prayer
Please someone save me

Is anybody listening?
Can they hear me when I call?
Shooting signals in the air
'Cause I need somebody's help
I can't make it on my own
So I'm giving up myself
Is anybody listening
Listening

I'm lost here
I can't make it on my own
I don't wanna die alone
I'm so scared
Drowning now
Reaching out
Holding on to everything I love
Crying out
Dying now
Need some help

Is anybody listening?
Can you hear me when I call?
Shooting signals in the air
I need somebody's help
I can't make it on my own
So I'm giving up myself
Is anybody listening?

One Last Breath by Creed
Please come now I think I’m falling
I’m holding on to all I think is safe
It seems I found the road to nowhere
And I’m trying to escape
I yelled back when I heard thunder
But I’m down to one last breath
And with it let me say
Let me say

Hold me now
I’m six feet from the edge and I’m thinking
That maybe six feet
Ain’t so far down
I’m looking down now that it’s over
Reflecting on all of my mistakes
I thought I found the road to somewhere
Somewhere in His grace
I cried out heaven save me
But I’m down to one last breath
And with it let me say
Let me say

Hold me now
I’m six feet from the edge and I’m thinking
That maybe six feet
Ain’t so far down

Sad eyes follow me
But I still believe there’s something left for me
So please come stay with me
‘Cause I still believe there’s something left for you and me
For you and me
For you and me

Hold me now
I’m six feet from the edge and I’m thinking

Walking in Memphis by Marc Cohn

Put on my blue suede shoes
And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
W.C. Handy — won’t you look down over me
Yeah I got a first class ticket
But I’m as blue as a boy can be

Then I’m walking in Memphis
Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel

Saw the ghost of Elvis
On Union Avenue
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland
Then I watched him walk right through
Now security they did not see him
They just hovered ‘round his tomb
But there’s a pretty little thing
Waiting for the King
Down in the Jungle Room

(Chorus)

They’ve got catfish on the table
They’ve got gospel in the air
And Reverend Green be glad to see you
When you haven’t got a prayer
But boy you’ve got a prayer in Memphis

Now Muriel plays piano
Every Friday at the Hollywood
And they brought me down to see her
And they asked me if I would —
Do a little number
And I sang with all my might
And she said —
“Tell me are you a Christian child?”
And I said “Ma’am I am tonight”

(Chorus)

Put on my blue suede shoes
And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain

Boston by Augustana
In the light of the sun, is there anyone? Oh it has begun...
Oh dear you look so lost, eyes are red and tears are shed,
This world you must've crossed... you said...

You don't know me, you don't even care, Oh yeah, you said
You don't know me, you don't wear my chains...

Essential and appealed, carry all your thoughts across
An open field,
When flowers gaze at you... they're not the only ones who cry
When they see you
You said...

You don't know me, you don't even care, Oh yeah, you said
You don't know me, you don't wear my chains...

She said I think I'll go to Boston...
I think I'll start a new life,
I think I'll start it over, where no one knows my name,
I'll get out of California, I'm tired of the weather,
I think I'll get a lover and fly em out to Spain...
I think I'll go to Boston,
I think that I'm just tired
I think I need a new town, to leave this all behind...
I think I need a sunrise, I'm tired of the sunset,
I hear it's nice in the Summer, some snow would be nice...

You don't know me, you don't even care, Oh yeah, you said
You don't know me, you don't wear my chains...

Boston... where no one knows my name...
Boston... where no one knows my name...

3x5 by John Mayer
I'm writing you to
catch you up on places I've been
You held this letter
probably got excited, but there's nothing else inside it

didn't have a camera by my side this time
hoping I would see the world with both my eyes
maybe I will tell you all about it when I'm
in the mood to lose my way
with words

Today skies are painted colors of a cowboy's cliche'
And strange how clouds that look like mountains in the sky
are next to mountains anyway

Didn't have a camera by my side this time
Hoping I would see the world with both my eyes
Maybe I will tell you all about it when I'm
in the mood to lose my way
but let me say

You should have seen that sunrise with your own eyes
it brought me back to life
You'll be with me next time I go outside
just no more 3x5's

Guess you had to be there
Guess you had to be with me

Today I finally overcame
tryin' to fit the world inside a picture frame
Maybe I will tell you all about it when I'm in the mood to
lose my way but let me say

You should have seen that sunrise with your own eyes
it brought me back to life
You'll be with me next time I go outside
just no more 3x5's
no more 3x5's

Sunday Bloody Sunday by U2

I can't believe the news today
I can't close my eyes and make it go away.
How long, how long must we sing this song?
How long, how long?
'Cos tonight
We can be as one, tonight.

Broken bottles under children's feet
Bodies strewn across the dead-end street.
But I won't heed the battle call
It puts my back up, puts my back up against the wall.

Sunday, bloody Sunday.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.
Oh, let's go.

And the battle's just begun
There's many lost, but tell me who has won?
The trenches dug within our hearts
And mothers, children, brothers, sisters
Torn apart.

Sunday, bloody Sunday.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.

How long, how long must we sing this song?
How long, how long?
'Cos tonight
We can be as one, tonight.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.

Wipe the tears from your eyes
Wipe your tears away.
I'll wipe your tears away.
I'll wipe your tears away.
I'll wipe your bloodshot eyes.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.

And it's true we are immune
When fact is fiction and TV reality.
And today the millions cry
We eat and drink while tomorrow they die.

The real battle just begun
To claim the victory Jesus won
On...

Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday...

Wish You Were Here by Incubus
I dig my toes into the sand
The ocean looks like a thousand diamonds strewn across a blue blanket
I lean against the wind
Pretend that I am weightless
And in this moment I am happy...happy
I wish you were here
I lay my head into the sand
The sky resembles a backlit canopy with holes punched in it
I'm counting UFO's
I signal them with my lighter
And in this moment I am happy...happy
I wish you were here
The world's a roller coaster and I am not strapped in
Maybe I should hold with care but my hands are busy in the air

Say It Ain't So by Weezer
Somebody's Heine'
Is crowdin' my icebox
Somebody's cold one
Is givin' me chills
Guess I'll just close my eyes

Oh yeah, alright
Feels good, inside

Flip on the tele'
Wrestle with Jimmy
Something is bubbling
Behind my back
The bottle is ready to blow

Say it ain't so
Your drug is a heartbreaker
Say it ain't so
My love is a lifetaker

I can't confront you
I never could do
That which might hurt you
To try and be cool

When I say
This way is a waterslide away from me
That takes you further every day
So be cool

Say it ain't so
Your drug is a heartbreaker
Say it ain't so
My love is a lifetaker

Dear Daddy, I write you
In spite of years of silence

You've cleaned up, found Jesus
Things are good or so I hear

This bottle of Stevens
Awakens ancient feelings

Like father, stepfather
The son is drowning in the flood, yeah

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah

Say it ain't so
Your drug is a heartbreaker
Say it ain't so
My love is a lifetaker

meh
