Wow. Tropical Storm Arlene was a fuckin joke. More like an everyday rainstorm [a little on the windy side]. It lasted bout...two hours. But I'm happy b/c hurricanes during summer just suck arse, and the fact that there may not be any power for awhile just is not cool.
Ho hum...my hip hurts like a bia. So I'm gonna go for now. Take care.

Young and Aspiring - Underoath |

Well I've been slacking, but nothin really cool has happened since graduation. HAHA can you imagine? What could possible have been better, anyway? Well since then I've hung out with the usual suspects, Izzy, and Krystal, that crowd, and then a little bit with Sylsyl -n- my bro Zack. I saw Madagascar and Amityville. Both purty good movies, but MAdagascar definitely owns Amityville, it's too kyooooooooooot! "Where are you giants from?" "We're from New York." "All hail the New York Giants!" Awww. Let's go meet the pansies! Awesome.
So anyhoo, I went to the doctor yesterday, because of pain in my right lower abdomen/hip/back/thigh area, and I was goin there mentally prepared to take my blood and urine tests they said I had to take before the appointment. Well when we got there they said that I actually only needed a urine test so I did that and I was so relieved! Did you know they have instructions on the wall on how to give a urine sample?!?! It was so funny, I tried to follow them, but they just complicated the situation more. Hahahah. Then I went to go see my doctor, and by the way my mim was with me and it turned out they knew each other! so they like took ten years talking but finally we got on with the appointment. We came to the conclusion that everything was pretty much normal technically, she thinks it has to do with my chronic hip problem and just muscle aches. So she prescribed me motrin. BUT THEN she said I should get the blood test just in case...EVEN THOUGH my urine sample is normal and has no signs of white/red blood cells in it. So I got freaked out b/c I was relieved and totally not prepared mentally...so I refused to do it. Now I'm kina regretting...b/c people are saying it's no big deal, which it probably isnt, but the last time I had a blood test [third grade] I could feel the blood leaving my vein!! And it is just creepy. So I may go back and get it done, I don't know, should I? I overreact.
Well anyways, ERYN let me know that there is a new Georgia Nicolson book! So I'm definitely going to check that out later today. I can't wait!! I read that Georgia goes to Hamburger-a-gogo land! ie. America! Won't that be hilarious...oh yeah, and Louise Rennison mentions Eryn! Because Eryn gave her a thong with an L on it at her book signing! Hahahahahah, that was great. I can't wait to read it ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Ohh hoo before I forget.. Jesse is coming here tomorrow! hahah that'll be purty awesome, I haven't seen that boy since April, I miss him.  And we got alot of catching up to do.
Well here's some random pics from the past couple weeks.
( CLICK )
P.S. The proofs for my grad pics came in, and Mr. Slayton had to BEND DOWN to give me my diploma! How embarrassing. Hahah. Plus my cap is like tilted to the side, so it looks so funny. Awesome.

I met Conor Oberst at Barnes&Noble.
I just like, walked in and saw him sitting by himself.
At the coffee area, writing thoughts down.
So, I sat myself across from him.
And we talked for what seemed like ages.
And then he asked me to marry him.
I said yes.
The End.
love,
Caitlin Jane Pearson-Oberst
P.S. LA Confidential is a good movie.

AHhhhhh haha. This past week has been so fucking awesome. Everything went wrong in every way possible, but that made it all more fun [with the exception of Sunday]. Danny and Micah came down here last Thursday, and met up with me on Friday morning at Woodham after I picked up my cap and gown for graduation. I didn't expect them to show up there though, but they found me and I was like ahhh, you're here! It was purty cool cause I've never met Micah before...and he turned out to be a cool kid. They followed me back to my house [and Danny pulled ahead of me, trying to be some kina hot shot, but I surved him in the end]. So they dropped their shit at my house and we all piled into my car and went to the beach at the base to chill a bit. Then we went back to Woodham to pick my bro up and talk to Sylsyl bout the weekend. And we watched Star Wars III!!! It was soooooo good, and kina sad, but the dude who played Anakin is such a bad actor that I couldn't help but laugh at him tryin to be dramatic. I did feel like I could relate to that movie too [Padme's life]...it's kina hard to explain, but ask me if you really wanna know cause I'd rather not explain it on here. Anyhoo, I don't really remember what we did after that, but Saturday was purty cool. We went to Guitar Center in Mobile and chilled there awhile. Micah and Sean were playing with guitars, and me and Danny were messin' with the drumsets [mostly electric ones that you listen to with headphones]. Then we played with the keyboards/pianos, and I learned a new song! It was purty sweet. Then we spun some records, Danny played guitar with the other two, then we left. I had more fun than I thought I would. When we were leaving, Danny did a donut in this parking lot, and a cop pulled us over...and gave him a ticket!!! So now he has to go to court in Alabama sometime next month, kina funny. The cop looked very mean and bald, it wasn't cool. Yeah, I hate cops, there's waaaaay too many here in the south! especially Pensacola. But whatever, we came home, ate, then went to Zack's house to meet him and Sylsyl. We chilled, went to Olive Garden, then downtown to check out Springfest. It was alot of fun, we were just walkin' around, causing trouble and shit. Pretending to be statues, acting gangstuh, gettin' down to funky town, raving, laughing at the drunken or just retarded springfest people, walking on the train tracks, etc. Then when we got back to Zack's, we decided to go to Steak and Shake and get a milkshake. On the way there, Zack did a donut in the middle of the street!! HAHAH, it was great. But at Steak and Shake, it was fun cause our waitress...well yeah...her name was Jasmine. Hahahahah, that's bout all I can say. She was purty cool. Mmh. We saw some more springfest kids there, this time Marines, and they were kina idiots. This guy had a cool shirt though, it was cute...they got a kick outta my oversized sunglasses though. Heeeeeheh. Well after that we went to Perdido Key and shot off some fireworks...then we had to come home.
Sunday. Hmf. Well this day was the day I was FINALLY going to get to see FLOGGING MOLLY THE BEST BAND EVER but ohhhh aosfhajkldghaklsdg. We were walking into springfest and I had my money out READY to fucking pay for my fucking springfest ticket, and we followed this lady into this gate cause we thought she was going our way...but apparently not. So this staff fucker named Nick said we were sneaking in when we werent and said we couldn't come in at all for the rest of the night. Well I was really upset about that, and I could not believe he had the nerve to say that ME of all people was trying to sneak in! Ugh. I was so upset that I was shamelessly crying and I just didn't wanna move b/c I really wanted to go in. But those callous turdlusters [John, the manager, wouldn't listen to us either] couldn't see my passion or innocence. So finally the boys convinced me we'd get in another way, so we left and walked around and found this staff lady who was sooooo nice and took pity on us and listened to our story. She somehow miraculously got us in, and we made our way to the stage where they were gonna play. We were at the VERY FRONT, perfect view, and all...and we even waited a whole entire hour for them to come on...and like two minutes before they get on stage, those asshats found us and kicked us out. It wasn't fair, really, at all. I never been more disappointed in my life, and that just kina ruined the night. The only thing I'm happy about is that we didn't go down without a fight [by for real sneaking in after we were falsely accused] and we managed not to get arrested. But I got so fucking jealous when I saw Jamie and Christina about to watch MY FAVORITE BAND in the world and they don't know shit about them. Ughhhhhhhh fuck. They called out my name as we were being led out, and they spammed my phone chewing me out cause they thought I was ditching them. Wtf. Well I was purty pissed. And sad. We drove to Sylsyl's work and I bitched about it to her for a bit, then we left sometime. That's all I have to say about Sunday. GrrrrrrAAaaaaaaawrr.
Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday we just chilled round town, doin' whatever. Pretty much like going to the beach, mall, kaoz, blockbuster, pizza hut [phut], downtown, movies, fucking walmart, whatever. On Tuesday the boys came to Senior Honors night at East Brent Baptist...and it was really funny because Micah was wearing a Bad Religion shirt, and Sean a Black Sabbath shirt, in a BAPTIST church. Hahah.
Thursday was GRADUATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And damn was it the craziest day...everything was a mad rush. I went to practice at 7 in the morning...gah. Then Izzy, Krystal, and me went to Starbucks and got some coffee and chilled there a bit. Then Krystal and me went to get our nails done at Cordova for some random reason...then I took her home, and RUSHED back to my house to get ready for grad. It took me about an hour and a half, and I sped down there...I miraculously was not late for my own grad =] . I got there 10 min before it started... heheh. And it was just wonderful. CONGRATULATIONS TO THE CLASS OF 2005! Coach Oglesby gave me a hug on my way out there =] it was nice that he remembered me from last year!! hahah. And wow. The whole time I was concentrating on my cap not falling off while keeping my balance in my shoes! Very difficult task...there were like only 200 something kids graduating in my class, so it wasn't that long of a ceremony. But everything said was very meaningful...I'm gonna miss everyone and everything more than I thought I would. Most of my friends came to see me graduate! Even from out of town...I felt special, b/c none of my family did except my immediate... it's okay though, I'm still content =]. I had a great graduation.
After graduation I got really frustrated because EVERYONE wanted me to do shit with them, so I was trying to please everyone at once. I planned to go to Project Graduation at 10 pm, and hang out with Sylvia, Zack, Danny, and Micah before. Welp, long story short, I got sick at Sylvia's house [maybe I will explain in a friends only], and never made it to P.G., causing alllllllll kinds of drama. Whatever though, it's over. I had an AMAZING BRILLIANT WEEK!!!!!! Thanks to everyone who made it possible, despite all the fuck ups. But damn, we made fucking up look cool...maybe.
shitshitshitshitshit. hahah. =D
P.S. HURRICANE SEASON STARTS TODAY.

Waste of Paint - Bright Eyes |

Ahhhhhhh! It's been so long. So let's get down to business, cause I got lots to talk about.
So last weekend was beyond awesome! I met my boys Jesse and Brian for the first time ever in real life and it was just lovely. I was expecting them to get in at like...one...in the morning...but they got here at like eight at night!! It was a pleasant surprise, to say the least, but totally caught me off guard!! I was walking through my dad's office and I saw a truck in our drive way and I was like wtf, oh shit!!! And yup. It was them. So we chilled here for a bit, and then met up with Sylsyl [Sylvia] and her boyfriend at their work [pizza hut]. They were closing, so we all went to go chill at the bayview park after. Everything was all good, everyone seemed to be *bonding* it was soo cute! Especially Brian and Zack, they seemed to get along well, at least Sylsyl and me think so. Sylsyl and me were being tards and playing on the playground and we went to this one part of the equipment and Syl said, "this is so fun!" and then a voice came from the shadows that said, "yeah, this is pretty fun!" and we were like OH SHIT. Keep in mind this is at night, in the dark, but it turned out that two people were back there having sex. Hahahah..yeah pretty embarassing. So we left that pretty quickly. I stole Jesse's beanie...and it was funny. He couldn't catch me because I'm just that smooth and agile. But I did whack my head on this bar and it hurt like a, well, you know, really bad. So we ended up taking a break from running away -n- shit and chilled on the pier there, just me -n- him. It was really nice, just sitting/laying there talking about shit we needed to talk about, you know...it's a BFF thing =D ahahah. Damn right. So anyways, after Syl and Zack left, Brian and Sean came over to chill with Jesse and me, and it was cool. We stayed till it started to rain, and then drove home. We watched a really queer movie that was kina confusing and a little nasty...and then everyone pretty much fell asleep...more or less.
So that was all friday; Saturday was amazing. The day kina started off slow and late...this was the day of the Prom so things later got hectic. I got my hair done at four, and no matter if mim or I coulda done it, I still loved it so it really didn't matter. There's not really much to say, we just got ready and left at like eight ish nine ish and met up with the usual suspects plus Dominic. They were being assfucks to Jesse and me cause we were late but whatever. Jesse was such a sweetheart and very gentlemanly. It was funny though, because Dominic was driving his car, and I let Jesse drive our car, and they are such BOYS! ugh, I swear. They were all trying to be fast -n- shit, and Dominic was tailgating a COP on the interstate to the Civic Center! It was great, and fortunately we all made it there in one piece. It's so cute though because Jesse mostly drives a standard, and I guess he has to have his right hand on something all the time so his hand was on the gear shift. I was like....hopefully he doesn't put it into park in the middle of driving...hahah, yeah, that would suck, but I thought it was cute. Anyhoo, so the first person I see at Prom was Jennifer and her date, she looked soo purty of course. So yeah, we saw a bunch of people at prom. I think nearly all our senior class came.. I saw Crystal and her boyfriend, LaQuita, James, Angel and Karl, Tyler and his girlfriend...dammmmn who else?!! my mind fails me but damn I saw alot of people there. Anyhoo, it was fun. Despite the fact that Jamie, Christina, and Dominic ditched us [when we were gonna do likewise rofl], and Jamie pretty much made everyone pissed at me for absolutely no reason. -GuiLt tRippiN-Damn she just irritates me so bad sometimes. But I had fun regardless, even though I wish I coulda danced more...fuckin' drama. Well Jesse and me left at around eleven forty five, and went to the beach. It was soo cold there! we left maybe half an hour or so later because it was way too cold and I don't think people were gonna show up for a while. So we went to the park...and talked...about EVERYTHING...for about two hours...it was nice...but then a cop came!! Oh god, it was so embarassing, he told us to go away but he got like all this information about us...! He even asked Jesse for nicknames and he said Bubbles...hahahah.. oh god. Well at least it wasn't Danny...because Danny's nickname is PRINCESS. Hahah. Well now it's princess poo poo. aaaahhahahah. Yeah, don't ask, please. ~anyways~ So he let us go, no ticket or anything...so we were like, well damn, what now. So we went to another park, the one we all went to on friday with Sylsyl. And no one was there, but us [mind you we got so lost on the way there..]. So we were there for like five minutes...and then a car pulls in the parking lot where we were. So I say to Jesse, "that better not be another cop, or I'm going to cry". AND GUESS WHAT. It was another f-in cop. Daaaaamn we were so pissed! Or at least I was. We ended up lucking out twice, cause he let us go...BUT Jesse told this one we had gotten caught before! Damn I was bout to die. But it's one of those things where you gotta look back and laugh on. That boy is my partner in crime =] ..yurrrp. Cops, twice in one night...awesome. With everything that happened, I know that it's safe for me to say that that night was a very profound moment in my life...and I hope his too.
Sunday was cool too. It was a little depressing in the morning, because right when Jesse woke me up I knew I'd be sad...sad to see them go. I had such a good time, it felt like I've hung out with them my whole life. It's always felt like I've known him forever, but now it felt like I've just been chillin' with them forever. It was kina like one of those feelings I get when I had to move away from home and leave everyone behind, except this time no one was moving anywhere. Seriously there were many points during the day I wanted to cry, but I didn't...at least not until they left. Shiiiiit, even as I type this now I want to cry! hahah...well, yeah. Nostalgia [in general] is definitely a form of torture for me. We went to the naval base and were going to play pool but decided to go to the beach since it was closed. I love that beach so much better than Pensacola beach, especially because it's not windy. At one point, Jesse and me were sitting talking by ourselves and I was feeling playful so I was all like..."hey Jesse, are they fishing?" and I pointed past him...and he turns around to look and I get up and ruuuuuuun as fast as I can down the beach!! The funniest and coolest thing EVER. HAhahah ohhhhh it was SO funny, because he totally fell for it. =] I'm sooo damn brilliant sometimes. Anyhoo...he couldn't catch me...so I slowed down and "let" him =] . Hahahah, and it was all good...we talked again and shit...and then I tried to trick him again, it ALMOST worked. I told him Brian was coming...and Brian for real was...and Jesse looked again...and I got up to run but Jesse grabbed my ankle before I could get anywhere =[ ...tres mal. Before Brian got to us, Jesse totally caught me off guard with a question he asked me I was like whoaa. And it took me a second to realize what he said hahah. fuunny, I'm such a dork =/. And then we all started heading back to where sean and our shit was...But Brian wanted to talk alone so we did...for about a half hour? I'm guessing. I felt like we had a good conversation, but with the way things are now, I don't really know... I just don't know what to believe anymore I guess. So we went back to Jesse and Sean and they are such dorks I swear...they made like some kind of retarded sand chairs?! Yeah, they're "special" . Well I had to go to the bathroom so I went to go find one by myself...couldn't...so I came back to get the car keys...and Brian and Sean decided they had to go too. So we all got in the car and drove to the internet cafe and went to the bathroom. And left Jesse in his sandchair. Then we came back and picked him up...went home, ate dinner, chilled, then went to Sylsyl's work so they could say bye to Sylvia -n- Zack. I was all pimped out in Jesse's beanie, hoodie, and birkenstocks [all of which are f-in big on me], and Sylsyl said I looked like a kyoot emo kid. Uh uhhhhhhh, that just proves Jesse is an emo boy, because it was HIS clothes. =D HA. ha. ha. But after that...we went back home..and it was sad...cause they packed up and were getting ready to go. So me and Jesse went to go get gas in his scary truck. And we went really slow. It was sad...we took the scenic route on the way back...even if it was dark out. Well we got back, and just sat there in the driveway for about an hour before Brian noticed we'd been back...And then we had to say our goodbyes, which was miserable..but had to be done. Then I watched them drive away...
~sadness and despair~
Thennnnnn. All that week was really sucky. So I'll just talk about the Melodramas. The Melodramas OWNED. I was in two out of the four. I got to be boulder girl a.k.a. the rock in "Traders of the Lost Bark" and I got to be the one half of the curtain in "Honeymoon of the Undead". It was AWESOME. I made a great inanimate object. But everyone did an awesome job, especially Katie Runciman and Katie O'Dea, absolutely hilarious. I wish I could have videotaped it for ya'll.
Underoath on the 8th [shit that's mother's day...], and Flogging Molly on the 22nd. Heck yes.
Anyhoo, this week is going to be the most miserable week of my life so far, I can tell. AP Exams, English shit, no doubt there'll be some kina drama goin' down...I'll post pics from prom and the plays soon, cause I do have some =] ..need to be developed still but w/e. Send me some lurve? I miss you all.

TRrrrrrrRRRRRrrrralalala. Hello again, my friends.
So today was purty cool. I went to steak-n-shake with the usual suspects, and it was pleasant. Then we went to the bowling alley, and Christina and I did a few rounds. huhuhuh.We tied first round, and Christina won the second round. And I suck at bowling, I hate it! But that's okay because I got some mad skillz at pool. We played 2 games, and I won. Hurrah! I beat Danny and my bro too when he was here cause I'm good. Yup, they all get served, always. This one brotha wanted to play me for my ankh necklace, but I was like heck no. He had some pretty good skillz, so it was kina risky, you know? Yeah. SO then I dropped them off and went home to check in and see what was up.. I tried calling Sylvia, but I only have her cell and she got that taken away so yeah. I didn't get ahold of her, or vice versa, so I didn't go to the show tonight...sucks, I hope she doesn't care.
Anyhoo..GUESS WHAT?!?!! I get to be in the melodrama! [play]. I get to be THE rock! Heck yes. I get to cause an avalanche, ie. throw rocks at people! I'm so excited, this is my acting debut. My dear Sylvia got me the part cause she rocks. I lurve Sylvia! Yup. On the program it gonna say "Caitlin Pearson - rock". Heck yes.
Goro is pissing me off lately but I'm just like, whatev, je ne voudrais pas parler à toi. Chienne, s'il vous plait. Yeah, me and Tyler in French class decided that art should not be censored. And oh yeah, and I wrote something pretty cool for English, called "The Idealistic Gentleman". There was a little misunderstanding between Mr. Whedon and moi, but that's over and done with. Take a look.
The Idealistic Gentleman
A gentleman is more than just a person of the male gender. He is more than a well-mannered and considerate human being. He is a man who insures that the little things in life are taken care of, such as opening the door for an elderly lady, or pulling out the chair for his date. He is well-versed at the art of helping a woman feel good about herself, and does so at every opportunity. He is a person who can intellectually converse on topics other than NASCAR, baseball, and football. He understands that one cannot achieve peace after spreading hate and discontent; this applying not only to the world, but to his own self. He does not discriminate. He never looks at matters as black and white, red or blue, christian or atheist,pro-this or pro-that, male or female; everything and everyone is of equal quality and significance in his eyes. He recognizes the view from every angle, comprehending that complexity exists in each, and makes sure to put himself in the exact footsteps of everyone and everything he comes across. He has a passion, a dream, and a drive to become successful in life, as does every man. However, the ultimate difference between his and a man’s, is the gentleman will be successful without losing his integrity along the way.
Damn right. Okay so I added some more art to my DA so go check it out. Thank you =]. Ack! phone ringing gotta go! give me hugsss! I lurve you guys.

O God, from whom the just receive an unfailing reward, grant that your servant John Paul II, our Pope, whom you made vicar of Peter and shepherd of your Church, may rejoice for ever in the vision of your glory, for he was a faithful steward here on earth of the mysteries of your forgiveness and grace. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Pope John Paul II
May 18,1920 - April 2, 2005
Today I went to a funeral mass for the Pope. No, it wasn't the actual one at St. Peter's, unfortunately, but it was here at Sacred Heart Cathedral and it was really nice. It was also very emotional, for many of the people there. The Homily was very touching, and very relevant. One of the things in particular that I can relate to is when Father Hunt stated that Pope John Paul got upset when leaders, priests, people used violence to solve problems, particularly problems of peace. He mentioned that the Pope was saddened and frustrated at the thought of things like euthanasia, war, and abortion; that he was able to reinforce the Church's belief that any kind of pain, hate, and discontent, was everything that it stood against. That "any attack on human life was an attack on God, who is the author of life" [yes I quoted the Vatican]. He was a globally compassionate man - he spoke eleven languages, I believe, and visited well over a hundred countries. He touched the lives of so many, and today there were about four million gathered to honor him at his funeral at St. Peter's Basilica, which is indeed the largest crowd ever to gather there. Ever. During Ratzinger's Homily, the crowd started chanting "santo saint subito!", for five minutes straight, which means "sainthood now!" Incredible.
I will truly miss our Papa. This is a sad day for us on Earth, but a glorious day for our Papa. As I wrote in the memory book at Sacred Heart for Pope John Paul II which is to be sent off to Rome: "We'll miss you here, but soon enough, we'll meet you there". ..anyhoo, I have a lot more to talk about, but I think I'm gonna go watch the mass in Rome on MSNBC, so I'll finish this later.

I just signed a petition that could impact the next 40 years of Supreme Court rulings. Right now there are a handful of Republican Senators that could decide whether there is real debate over President Bush’s Supreme Court nominees or those nominees are rubber stamped – they need to hear from you.
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-TN) is considering the radical elimination of the 200-year-old filibuster in order to pave an easy path for controversial nominees to the Supreme Court. Frist’s effort is called the “nuclear option,” and there are some Republicans who may think it goes too far. Tell these Senators you think it does. Sign the petition now at http://pfaw.kintera.org/SaveTheFilibuster .

Graaaaaah!
Those greedy fucking turdlusters in Congress voted to destroy wildlife refuge in Alaska!!!! How dare they...damn blood -n- oil sucking republicans.. ugh. I'm so angry. Well, at least seven republicans are cool enough to vote against it, but three loser democrats voted for it...they must be DINOs *cough*Lieberman. Bill Nelson better not have voted for it or I'm going to write him a not so nice letter. The vote was close, 51 to 49 in favor of keeping the drilling provision in the bill. >=[ That just pisses me off. </font> It just amazes me how dense people can be. But it also saddens me knowing that more or less are only supporting it for personal gain [thus, re-election...although I surely won't help to re-elect those few].
OIL IS NOT A RENEWABLE RESOURCE, it will eventually run out so we need to start practicing other measures in order to preserve. We cannot keep drilling everywhere we think there may be oil. We need to find another way, an alternative energy, so in the future we can be ready for when there is very little or no oil left. Also, it's our own damn fault that we buy non-fuel efficient vehicles [SUVs and Hummers]. Any idiot knows that those are gas-guzzling cars, and instead of being selfish by killing a poor animal's habitat, just fucking take responsibility. If one buys a car that sucks at conserving gas, oh fucking well. He/she is obviously rich enough to pay for it AND they wanted it, so I'm sure he/she can fork out the cash to pay for gas every once in awhile and stop being stingy about it. Gas prices rising is inevitable, but there are ways to slow it down. I say stop SUV/Hummer* production, and start making more hybrid vehicles. In addition to an alternative energy, of course.
Damn. Greedy motherfuckers. If I lived in Alaska I'd be pissed off to no end [well I already am but I'd be worse]. </font>
The ANWR is home to 45 different species of mammals - including the polar bear, wolf and moose - plus 36 species of fish and 180 species of birds. I'm sad...I love polar bears..I'm gonna cry.
Thanks a lot, Congress. You sure do well to vote with your "morals". I just hope you're thinking of all the lives you've ruined when you go dig those holes in the ground. Yes, animals have lives too. Murders.
"The fact is (drilling in ANWR) is going to be destructive." - Sen. John Kerry, D-Massachusetts.
"We won't see this oil for 10 years. It will have minimal impact. It is foolish to say oil development and a wildlife refuge can coexist." - Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Washington.
I am irritated.
( * footnote )
EDIT: I just recieved an email from Senator John Kerry concerning the vote, and I thought I'd post it in case any of you would like to take a look at it and are not on his mailing list. Also if you would, PLEASE sign this petition! It would make a huge difference, trust me. Thank youuu.

Gah! I just took the SAT! How yucky it was.
Let me just tell all you now...if you have a choice between the SAT and ACT, do the ACT! It is so much easier to understand [directions/questions wise] and its not as frustrating..plus the essay is optional. Damn, the SAT testmakers must have been trippin' on speed if they honestly think we can finish a well polished essay in fuckin' 25 minutes. I knew exactly what I was going to write about as soon as I read the question, but I wrote so much and proofed it as I went along...so I only got to the beginning of the 4th paragraph when time was up. GrrrrRRRAAAaaaH. Damnit. Anyhoo, our question was something like 'do you think majority rule is a poor guide to the truth?" and they used an example of how like no one believed Christopher Columbus, thus his view being unpopular, yet he was still proven to be correct. So I went in favor of majority rule being a poor guide, and I used 3 examples from general politics, war, and science. I was PISSED because science was my strongest argument and I couldn't finish it. Basturds (c). I felt smart though when I said "for every majority rule, there is a minority rule". I know that's like, duh, obvious...but whatever, still made me feel brilliant, harharhar. The SAT sucks also because like there's about ten sections, and they are only math and english! It's damn good there is ONLY math and english, but I mean, can't they put them in the same section and save time? Just let us do the math in one section, english in the other. Honestly. The ACT only has four sections: english, math, reading, science; so they are cooler. Oh yeah, and the SAT test is forty-five minutes longer. Mrrrrph.
So that's the lesson for the day...
Now I must go outside and play because it would be an absolute crime to stay inside on such a lovely day. And I need a break cause this week was absolute chaos and stress galore. Maybe update later.
BTW. I got accepted to University of West FLORIDA. Hurrah!

I posted more art on DA! Go check it out and tell me what you think. If you want. I'm putting more on it later.
Last night rocked. Pour vrai. I picked up Christina -n- Jamie and we went to Sonic to grab something to eat before the play. For those of you who do not know wtf Sonic is, it's like a drive-in place, you like park and order from your car and they bring out your food, and most of the time you just eat in the car. So like we were sittin' there waiting for our stuff, listening to music, and chillin', and who pulls up right next to us? Christy! [sp?] and some dude. Hahahahah, ohh it was funny. We rolled down the back windows so Christina could talk too, and we were just like talking/shouting at each other through the windows it was great. They were there and waiting for her friends Devona [sp?] and Josh to show up to go to the ice pilot's game. When they showed up, everyone was just chillin' and messing around. It was soo funny, kind of, because like Devona was chasing Christy, and she tripped and whacked her head on the wall, and I was like omfg, that had to hurt. Wow, I felt sooo bad, but it was kina funny.
When we went our separate ways, we just decided to go straight to the school and chill there till the play, which was only like in a half hour so whatever. We got there and got our seats, and it was filling up nice. I think there was a full theater that night, definitely an improvement to Crimes of the Heart. Mostly parents and such were there, but some kids were too, 'cause most classes are offering extra credit. I didn't recognize too many people, I think most went Thursday or today, but whatever. I knew some people who were actually going to be in the play so that was cool. Anyways, it [A Midsummer's Night Dream] was reallllly GOOD. Honestly, I have to say mad props to all the actors/actresses, because they were brilliant. During intermission, they gave us little forest creatures. I got a little lizard. His name is Lysander, yay. Hm...also, I had to say that I went in there not knowing wtf A Midsummer's Night Dream was about [I'd seen the movie and was way confused], and I came out understanding it completely. So, that was cool. 
After the play we just kina lurked around, but later decided to go to Starbucks. We got coffee and went driving around. I think I'm gonna cut off the detail here and just say that I got home at midnight-thirty last night. It'd be best if I didn't go into detail rofl, at least on here. Yup, it was a good night.
Today I didn't do anything special...I woke up late cause I went to bed late, but I went and did some errands, put air in the tires and gas in the car with my dad, and went to mass at five. I planned on going to Barnes and Noble after dinner to read Scott Peterson's half sister's new book on why he's guilty, but I don't know if I'm still gonna do that...we'll see. I need to buy oil pastels still so I might do all that tomorrow.

Seventy times seven - Brand New |
] |
Mwahahaha. I'm POSTING. Does that intimidate you?!
Hm. Yesterday was a shitty day. I felt horrible [physically] the entire time. I really think it's because I didn't have any caffiene in the morning like usual [coffee], I read somewhere that if one is a caffiene addict, then it's possible to get headaches/mood swings as a part of some kind of withdrawal. Uhmm..don't ask. My head was throbbing and it felt like both the hemispheres of my brain were splitting apart. I was gonna vomit, probably. But I came home and fell asleep listening to Elliot, and woke up 'round seven to watch the finale of the bachelorette. Honestly, I can't believe I watch that crap, but whatever rofl, it's interesting. She totally picked the cute artsy guy, Jerry, at first, but then she was a dumbass by refusing his live proposal. He was sooo *sausage eyes* too..
Today was much better. I got my coffee and I was feeling GrEaT yay, hahah. Uh huh, anyways...nothing really special happened, it was just an okay day. OH I saw DOMINIC today! I haven't seen that kid in forever, I miss him. I was walking into school from the student parking lot, and he called my name and I was like "omg! Dominic! *hug* wtf have you been?!" ..Apparently he has DCT [work program], so he leaves by third period. Aww, but it was nice seeing him again, his parking space is like four spots away from mine, yay. And today was Jennifer's birthday, so I was gonna give her 18 dollars but I lost 10 of it ...I think it's somewhere in 'my' car [the one I drive to school]. Hopefully. But anyways, it was cool 'cause we had a substitute in Art and I really needed to finish my stats homework, even though I adore art class. In French, we went to the career lab and 'researched french recipes'. I didn't though. I was bored, so I went to Congress.org and decided to write my local congressman, Jeff Miller [R]. Buuuuut, then I saw you could write Bush, so I decided to write him instead! Here's what I said:
"Dear Mr. Bush,
I think you are a turdmonkey, and I think you look like one too. And smell like one. Actually, I've never really smelled you before, but I do think you and your policies stink in a metaphorical way.
Sincerely, a concerned American"
Ahahahahahah. Jennifer, Christina, Jamie, and me thought it was purty amusing, and we had to put an address in there so we just used the school's. Oh hell's bells, they probably won't take us seriously anyway..it's not like this shit doesn't go through a "filter" anyway. But it was still funny. At lunch, Jamie and I helped Christina sell tickets for A Midsummer's Night Dream play on Thurs/Fri/Sat [all you woodham kids should go!], and I was behaving like a loon on loon tablets, honestly. Since we were right outside the drama room, I went in there and found a broom, and I took it back out to the table where we were selling and was like "Chiiiimn-ay sweep!" *pseudo-british accent* and pretended like I was sweeping chimneys. It was great, I made people laugh. We always manage to have fun in some way or another, even at lunch. But the rest of the day was purty lame. Seventh period [Anatomy] was okay. We went to Mr. Turner's class because Mrs. Hugus had to go on the spirit bus with the cheerleaders. It was fun because Mr. Turner has a planning period, and just half the class was in there [like 10 kids], and his son and wife came to visit him. His little boy is SO adorable.
Oh yeah. I'm still pissed off because of the whole 'execution of the trees' shenanigan. It wasn't very nice...so I need to stop procrastinating and type my fucking letter to Mr. Slayton. And then I'll let you people read it.
gah! I don't remember what else I was gonna say...omg, did I just go 'gah'?
I plan on posting more art on my deviant art site soon. I made a little case for the digital camera out of checkered fabric [pics will be up on DA soon], and Krystal totally thought I bought it somewhere! I felt happy because I didn't think it looked that good, but I guess I did do an exceptional job on it :-). Anywho, I'm not sure precisely when I'll get those pics up, but soon I hope. I'm so exhausted, but I should really go do some homework. Hopefully I get to be online tonight, I miss it. :-(
livejournal sucks ass because this is the third time I tried to post this. *slightly irritated*

OMFG! I have free time. At least a little bit to update with...
Sooo, what a fun-filled weekend. ...okay, not exactly. Besides Christina's party and seeing Constantine, I practically ran around doing all sorts of shit [mostly errands], like a chicken running around with it's head chopped off! ..gah!
...wait, did I just compare myself to a headless chicken?!
Sunday I saw Constantine. The only word to describe the movie Constantine is 'interesting'. It wasn't a bad movie, but I couldn't tell if it was good either. It's just....interesting. I liked the ending though! Isn't that amazing? Most of the movies I've seen lately have had a real shit ending...not Constantine! Hahah. The only problem I had with it was that they kina distorted Catholicism. They say that if you commit suicide they won't give you a Catholic funeral, but in real life they still will give a Catholic funeral, since the suicide could be due to mental illness [which in reality, suicidalness/hardcore depression/self-mutilation IS a mental illness, no matter what anyone says it's NOT attention depravation. Attention depravation is when a person says they do it but they really don't, THUS seeking attention by only saying they do. Honestly, who would hurt themselves on purpose if they weren't mentally stable?! Think about it]. Umm, so yeeeeah...anyways...I say you go see it for yourself and decide. Or download t. Or not. I don't care . Mmm Keanu Reeves...
So last Thursday I decided to buy the new Bright Eyes CD I'm wide awake, it's morning after all. I was a little bit skeptical about it because I don't listen to much of Oberst in the first place, but I've heard soo many good things about the album. ALSO, Alternative Press AND Amazon.com compared it to Elliot Smith's A basement on the hill, and I have to say that that Elliot Smith album is amazing. That's probably my main reasons for getting it, because I love Elliot Smith [rip :-(], and because it's gotten alot of praise from various sources. Oh, and it was also 7.99$. Can't get much better than that? And to top it all off, when I put it in my CD player I was NOT disappointed. It is really a great CD. Definitely not in any way better than E. Smith, hell no, but still great. The hint of country-ness in it probably took a little getting used to, but it was still worth 7.99$.
Oh yeah! I can't find my cell phone! ...I've been nervy spazzing about it for the past 3 days or so. My poor baby! I can't ring it either to see where it is if it's in my house because it's on fuckin' VIBRATE. This is tres merde and depressing...I have a feeling it's somewhere in my room or my car [technically not 'my' car, but it's the one I use the most]. Oh, what to do..Poor Wooya [cell's name], we'll have to put his mug shot on a milk carton or something...yah, or something.
Yesterday the tree killers came to Woodham and really PISSED ME OFF. As if IVAN didn't get rid of enough trees, Mr. Slayton had to go and ruin my life [and other concerned WHS kids'] by cutting down more! Oh, he even cut down the huge shady tree in the middle of the courtyard! Yeah, that's right, that one! I couldn't believe it. So I wrote him a letter expressing my rage. Maybe I will post that here...but be warned! It's VERY not nice. Honestly, I refuse to let him make Woodham campus ugly and desert-like [ie. Washington High School]!
The past two days have been really shitty because I'm getting throbbing pain in my hip area that I injured last year. GrrrrrrAH! I hate it. Cause I HATE medicine and the pain pushes me over the edge and I just have to conform to it. It makes me miserable, and I lay down until late at night when I do my homework. My dad says the pain is probably due to change in the weather...and he says I might have developed a little bit of minor arthritis in there. Well, I think not! Well, maybe I think wrong, and my dad think right, but I don't care! ..Which reminds me, for some reason [don't ask HOW this reminded me], I need to start fast-walking/jogging once it gets warm out.
Interesting thing happened today, while we're on the subject of Anatomy...We were talking about donating blood in Anatomy today, and I asked Mrs. Hugus why I could be an organ donor but I can't give blood [I lived outside the U.S. during a certain period of time when some disease was going around], and she said that when you go to get your driver's/learner's license and they ask you if you want to be an organ donor, they just put down if you want to or not, because it is not that common you'll have to give organs. Then [god forbid] if the time ever comes when you may be brain dead and ready to give organs, then they'll evaluate you and ask the question of if you can or not [obviously not to you, rofl], and if you unfit to give blood you're mostly unfit to give organs. This is because blood feeds the organs, and therefore the receipient will have to have the same blood type as the donor. So yeah, it's only logical. She also said that that rule might have expired by now, as did the piercing rule [only if it's at a well-known and safe place]. So, yay for organ donors! I encourage you all to be one [and blood donors if you qualify], because only good things can come out of it.
Oh, no! I don't know what else to say..
If I remember anything, I will post...maybe later tonight! But again, you know how that goes...I apologize for not being able to communicate [get online] in awhile...So I hope I will be able to soon.

Last night was fuckin' hilarious.
I went to Christina's party and it was off the chain.
No time for all details BUT I have to say this because it was purty funny and retarded...
Oh, my god. [although,probably only Woodham kids will understand this]We looked up Mr. Ashler's number in the yellow pages. And called his house...we got the answering machine so Christina left a message, "Is your refrigerator running?" And hung up. Then she has me call back to leave another message saying well why don't you go catch it, but then he PICKED UP THE PHONE and I freaked out and threw it across the room. So, Jamie calls back, he picks up and is all like:
Ashler: Who is this?
Jamie: Uhh, is Mr. Harrison Ashler there?
Ashler: No, he's not here right now. May I take a message? [keeping in mind that THIS IS REALLY HIM!]
Jamie: Well, can you tell him to go catch his refrigerator?
*click*.
*everyone laughing like loons at a loon party [...oh wait, it was one]*
Harharhar. DAMN It was the funniest thing..
Awright! I gotta go now. <33
A real update tomorrow or LATE tonight! :-D

I'm super busy this week, and weekend, and I expected to update tonight but time is not on my side. At the latest by sunday I should update again...'cause I do gotta lot to say. I may even make a friends-only post, because I have something important I need to confide about. :-/
I may post sooner than Sunday, but you know how that goes... <3

Paris in flames - Thursday |
] |
Well, hello again.
So this is my second livejournal. No, scratch that. This is my third livejournal. My ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) failingxretina ~ a personal journal and shadow_of_astar ~ a poetry/photo journal, are the old ones. When I created an xanga. I said I would keep up with both my LJ and my X. But, I didn't. I kina moved in to xanga, but now that I decided to actually keep up with both, I figured that I should go ahead and make a new username here on livejournal, instead of going back to the old one. It's because I feel like I've grown in a way since then. As of now, my life documented in those journals are only memories to me. Too much has happened in the timespan in which I stopped posting here at LJ for me to go back and just start writing in it all of a sudden. It wouldn't make sense.
Yes, so I believe it's time for a fresh start.
I believe it's time to move on.
