As the alpha moderator gently carries its young by the scruff of their necks..

Comment Commentary

Solo- It brings back a lot of memories for me. Though a lot of it is just "God, what was I thinking?"

Asuki- But.. They're ugly!

Shin- What, you have MORE question marks that I have to notice to realize it's sarcasm??

Godel- ._.

Tony- But not the shit, eh?

Sometimes I find it absolutely mind-boggling how stupid some people around here are.

I went into Best Buy yesterday and bought the new White Stripes CD, Get Behind Me Satan, and much to my surprise it was only $10. I didn't know that Best Buy discounts items on their release dates (This will result in a lot more CD-buying and a lot less iTunes-ing.. For new releases, at least). It was a fairly uneventful shopping venture-

But I had to wait for my ride for about half an hour. I saw a lot of people pass by, all doing different things. Most of them were okay.. But as I was waiting in the shade on the side of Best Buy, some ghetto kids walked by. I had the CD in the pocket of my jacket, and the kids come over and ask me if I shoplifted the CD. Obviously, I shook my head.

And they laugh at that. Oh my God, I actually contributed to the economy as well as the music industry by paying for something instead of stealing it! What a loser I must be! I should shoplift more from now on, and while I'm at it, I should start wearing cheap Tupac iron-on T-shirts and run around the school giving out empty threats like it's Halloween!

But that's enough of that. The sarcasm was thick there, and it was a rather low blow. Of course, I could go a lot lower, but it just irks me to think that one can be ridiculed for not being the refuse of society.

As for the actual White Stripes CD.. Everyone was saying that the album features very little guitar, but focuses on piano and marimba. This is very true, and though I was very let down by the album, it's grown on me a bit. It sure as hell isn't my favorite Stripes album, but it's not a major letdown.

Tickets for their shows at the Greek Theatre are going up for presale tomorrow.. I want to go, but at the same time I'm not sure. And I have no idea why. It's a band that I'm a big fan of.. Why am I not excited?

I drew this really cool Harajuku-inspired person in art yesterday.. I spent a lot of time shading it today. After that I scanned it, and right now I'm messing around with it in Photoshop. It's pretty cool- I'll be putting it up on my DeviantArt probably tomorrow.

There's a field trip to the beach tomorrow for all the people who reached their AR goals three times. I did this, and I'm going, but I'm not particularly excited. It's just a day out of "real" school and not much else.

Next week we have the end-of-the-year Six Flags trip, which I'm a little more excited about, but due to the times that we'll be there, and the fact that they're not closing the park from the public, we'll probably hit two or three rides and wait for some stragglers to show up and go home.

The year's almost over, and that's all I'm anticipating. Then I have a week, then it's summer school, than a couple more weeks off, then school starts again.

I must be in a pretty neutral mood right now. White Stripes concert is meh, beach is meh, six flags is meh, end of school is meh.. Ew. That's lame.
