LOOOOOOOOONG post today.
Okay, Random thought time. Anyone who's been watching VH1, or surfing youtube, might have noticed the number of bands who've taken it upon themselves to include real-world problems in their music videos. I just noticed this myself. Heh. I think, I shall post three self-explanatory examples, and explain the fourth one I have in mind. ^^
First up, Linkin Park with What I've Done:
next we have Green Day, with Working Class Hero*.
Third, we have Nickelback with: If Everyone Cared
And finally, we have the White Stripes with "Icky Thump" (yes, I know, weird title) Please pay attention to both the lyrics, and the video. I'll explain myself after wards.
I you actually watched it; you'll have noticed that he started in America, and spent most of the video in Mexico, and then he went across the border again. Notice how easy it was, and also the sign that read "great wall of Mexico." I still wonder what up with the white mule (?) that had red zebra stripes on it. Also notice how it's got Spanish subtitles. XD Oh, just so you know, I LOVE this song. The beat and guitar are so addictive. XD Then again, I’m very weird about my music. Mayhap I should post Seize The Day by Avenged Sevenfold, while I’m on a youtube high. XD
Now, on a more serious note, we give you. Fallout boy, with: Thnks Fr Th Mmrs.
Yes, I know, very serious, but I LOVE this video, it's funny.
Okay. Yesterday went fine. I was bored all day, but that's okay. My dad and I are THIS close *holds up thumb and forefinger about a half a centimeter apart* to beating Castlevania: Curse Of Darkness.
I really need to work on Devil May Cry 2, since I feel like it. Probably oughtta find my blue zip disk, so that I can spiff it up by converting all the BMP files to JPG (once again, I used a WHOLE 90+ Meg zip disk on. PICTURES). But alas, I haven’t the slightest idea of where it, and for that matter, my Nintendo DS charger cable could be. Then there's Cowboy Bebop, which I’m fairly certain Kira was borrowing. I dunno though, she's in WASHINGTON. T_T she just HAD to leave me. T_T
I still haven't put my bed back together.

Oh well.
I need to tell mom about that dream. I went to sleep after that, and I had a dream about trying to get back on good terms with Shelby. I do want to apologize for just beginning to emerge from my emo/anti-social/introverted/people hating/alone loving shell. Not ever going to apologize for telling her off when she broke the last straw, so to speak. I had been getting so TIRED of her being a bitch whenever she wasn't the CENTER of attention, that I told her everything that annoyed me about her, except that, because that would be going a little to far in one sitting. I might apologize for not being as nice as I should have been about it. But it was spur of the moment, and, had I given myself anytime to think on it, I wouldn't have done so. Shelby went all angry emo bitch on us, and ran off. Next thing I know, I’m on the phone with her mom, and she's trying to make me feel bad. Boo Hoo! I don't care. I stood up for myself, for once. I laughed a little about how stupid it was, trying to make Me, the Queen of all B's feel bad. XD
Well, Jenny got called over to Shelby’s, my theory was that she was being called over with the threat of chores, and was really supposed to sit there and comfort poor little Shelby. I love Shelby like a sister and all, but she just gets so annoying about 80% of the time. Anyways, when Jenny came back, she told me that Susan, Shelby's mom, said I was manipulative, and that I was manipulating everyone against Shelby. WHAT THE HELL?!?! I never WANTED to hurt Shelby, that's why I didn't tell her sooner. that and my emo/anti-social/introverted/people hating/alone loving shell.
Anyways, I haven’t talked to her lately. I doubt she'll read this, but if she does, which she won't cuz she's TERRIBLE at things like the internet, seeing as she doesn't have full access to it; I'm in BIG trouble. If Kira gets to read this, I’m in trouble too. but less trouble
*smirks and laughs* I don't care if they read it. I just plain don't care. I’m so tired of pretending to be someone I’m not. I couldn't care less if Shelby hated me forever, I have OTHER friends, and I always will. That's another thing. she doesn't like jenny and Lindsay hanging out, and I’m sure she doesn’t like Lindsay and me hanging out. She treats Lindsay worse than dirt. I think she's either being a bitch to Lindsay in particular because Lindsay survived cancer, and Shelby’s sister didn't, or she's hazing her because she's the new girl.
Okay, maybe I’d care a little, I’d probably hate her back. After all, hate and love are opposite side of the same coin, or so they say.
I'm sorry if this is totally boring, I'm just tired of not having anybody to hang with. Lindsay's gone till tomorrow, and Kira's gonna be gone till next Friday. Cassie's coming over, but all she ever really wants to do is bug Mark. Tyler's still here, but she lives so far away, it's like two miles. I'd walk over there, or ride my bike, but I’m not sure that I’m as welcome "anytime" there as she is here. XD
Reno. Lives in a whole other time zone. Julianna moved two years ago. Cassie and Wes live sin Corvallis. Marissa ran away. I've been kicked off of Dylan's property until further notice, because of CASSIE. Therefore, I can't hang with Mark and Dylan. Kayren, I’m supposed to be welcome whenever, as long as it's before 7, but I still feel like I should arrange visits. Jenny, I would visit her, but it's still kind of weird hanging with her alone.
Cassie's coming over today. JOY. mom said she can't spend the night. JOY ((this one is happy)). I'm sorry, but as much as I miss having people around. I'm getting sick of them. I prefer my computer to other people, I can socialize with it, and work, and waste time.
