really frigging bored

It is cold enough for long sleeves and sweatervests. I like sweatervests. Mhmm, warm.
Today after school I walked down to St. Vinnie's. Bought a book by Al Franken on how evil Republicans are. Yay. And at Jo-Ann's I bought some natural-colord Paton's wool COS IT IS DYEING TIME. I HAVE RESISTED THE URGE FOR TOO LONG. And I bought some lime-green soft acrylic stuff that was on SALE and some size 7 dpns because a) i has no size 7 dpns b) i think I will make some armwarmers so I need some dpns and c) i had a coupon I needed to use so, yah, dpns. Instead of saying, dee-pee-enns, I have taken to pronouncing the letters, so it sounds like 'duhpins.' Yeah so I'm bored. And at teh grocery store I bought Grape KoolAid, for dyeing, at the ridiculous high price of 3/1.00. srsly. and some chicken strips, for Secret Dinner. Hello Secret Dinner. MWAHAH.

I keep getting distracted..I need to start by Doctor Who scarf what yarn cost sooo much, and then get to work on the little Beatles amigurumi I want to do. Using this pattern to make the bodies, then embellishing and whatnot afterwards. And I haven't decided what costumes yet. Like Ed Sullivan suits, all boring and grey and hair cuts, or Sgt. Pepper with the colors and the telling-them-apart and facial hair? I look forward, not, to stitching all that hair.Ah well. Mhm. Anyway..

sometimes i wish i were a dinosaur

In my German class today, we had a numbers quiz, where Frau Hays says a number in German and we write it down in number form. Simple. She’ll only say the number twice.
So I got the first one and then distracted myself for a minute by drawing a dinosaur on the margins of my paper- and the next thing I knew we were on the third question. I was a little grumpy but, really, it was all my fault, my dinosaur needed spikes down his back and some teeth, so after I’d finished all the other questions, I wrote ‘I missed this one cos I was drawing this dinosaur. sorry.’ where the answer should’ve been.
And I thought we were going to be switching them with partners and correcting them but, ah, no, we turned them in.
So Herr Bates, the cute student teacher, was grading them- and at one point, he started laughing and looked over me. I guess he liked my dinosaur.

today, being a dork in many ways

In advisory today, instead of hanging around going nothing, I asked to go to the library and was told I'd have to take the pass and come back before class ends. I was like, oh okay. Then I just left. And didn't come back. In the library- I was in the armchair thing, reading In His Own Write, and half of it is WTH LENNON and the other half is ahh lol. Anyway- it's the two books together, some thing they put out when he died, I think, and it's a got a bad pic of Lennon on the front, but yah, anyway, so I'm reading this, or trying to anyway, and one of the teachers- the PE teacher ( also, they guy who did the Bantams website and then they told him he didn't have the job anymore so he said, then no more website, and he deleted all of his, so, basically, he's a BAMF) comes up to be and asks, "do you like john lennon stuff or the beatles?" and so I was like, "err all the beatles yeah." and then we had sort of a conversation about books on John Lennon before he wandered off. Too bad. I would totally have loved to continue geek-freaking over the Beatles with him. I already knew he was a fan- I had him as a PE teacher a few years back so it became obvious when all he played was Beatles stuff.

Instead of going to 4th hour- my voice is shot, anyway- I went to the library and printed off coloring sheets. Batman, Land Before Time, Harry Potter, Jack Sparrow, the Lion King, and two Beatles ones (which exist. and are weird. google it.) and then I spent lunch and 5th hour coloring in Beatles in wacky colors. Ringo has blue hair. And Paul has pick socks. I get so friggin' bored sometimes.

Also, buying things on Amazon? Too easy. Right now I'm getting Anthology 3, Lennon: Lennon Legend, and Paul's albums: Flaming Pie and Band on the Run. wanted to get I Me Mine but it's like 10 bucks and that's like way over my price limit now- I made an expection for Anthology Tres cos it's 2 cds! for 15 dollars. But Lennon was 5 and Flaming Pie is like 1 and BotR is like 4. Yeah I know. I spend too much money. Beatles obsession costs way too much.

200th post, weekend

Aha, 200 posts. All of them, pointless and rambling.
I was pretty sick yesterday- in bed all day and then asleep for 12 hours. Feeling better. Still Beatles-crazy. Today I found the Powerpuff Girls episode Meet the Beat-Alls that's filled with Beatles references it's crazy awesome.
Killing time till woot goes live, alala.
I love Anthology. The acoustic of Strawberry Fields Forever and grr, the, the, holy shit, Day in the Life take from Anthology 2 is effing scary- at one point the they just make a fucking ruckus and again at the end of Penny Lane, weird panting noises and some random noise- and Paul says, "That's a suitable ending I think." and at the end of Strawberry Fields Forever, demo or take 4 or something, the whole 'cranberry sauce' is repeated over and over and it's not I BURIED PAUL, it's definetly cranberry sauce.
Knitting a yellow hat. For kicks.
Watching American Dad, they had this bit- Mind Quad, this guy who didn't have arms or legs but had mind powers. IT NEEDS TO HAPPEN AS A REAL SHOW. Like, like that show Ben Stiller did that had one episode- err, with Jack Black and Owen Wilson, ahahh, I forget it now, but Owen Wilson was Jack Black's motorycle and Jack Black had an expanding brain at night and the government was after them, fuckfuck...it was err- HEAT VISION AND JACK. Very weird, but extremely awesome.
Oh I should--find something to watch and knit. And eat icecream. Nothing else to do.
I have watched Help! and A Hard Day's Night way too many times to count. I know all/most of the lines. "The fire brigade got me head out of some railings once." "Did you want them to?" "Not really, I put it there when I wasn't using it. You can see alot of the world from railings." RINGO LOVE! "What's that hairstyle called?" "Arthur." "How did you find America?" "Turn left at Greenland."
Goodnight then.

rrarr

Sometimes I make noises like oof or aghr or grrh or uhmp or fft but tonight it is a triumphant RARR cos I went to the fair, right? and ALL MY THINGS GOT RIBBONS.
So me and Heather, our boss/knit &crochet group leader/librarian friend, who got us to enter the stuff in the first place on Tuesday (i mighta mentioned it, i frget) took us up there today and so we went straight to the Needlework section and looked for our stuff- my penguin got a blue, my blue hat a blue, err another blue hat got a blue, my slouchy hat got a blue or a red, my yarn I forget, my purpley hat got a YELLOW (yellow is bad guys, haha, it's a 'participation' ribbon) and I got two white ribbons (on my gryffindor scarf? andd something else..) and then we found mary's stuff (she got a white one? and a big CREATIVITY! ribbon) and Heather's, we couldn't find her crocheted dragon at first, turns out it was in a special case because it was BEST OF SHOW! type of thing and so even tho I didna get a big fancy ribbon, I got lotsa little ones. Then we looked around and one of our sorta friends from school found us so we wandered around the fair/carnival and talked to some annoying churchy folk and had some interesting convos with this church dude. We ate and watched the hypnotists' show and then Mary called me and was like, 'did you know your shawl won a best of class ribbon?' and me, all high-pitched; WHAT and this purple shawl I crocheted and forgot I entered TOTALLY WON A frigging BEST OF SHOW! ribbon and YAY! :D Major happiness.

Later, 11:50: tired and lonely, I turned to Omegle and Cleverbot for conversation. Usually I just screw around with people on both of them but on Omegle tonight I weirdly had a good conversation with some random guy in Chicago. And sang All You Need Is Love with Cleverbot. Damn. Weird night. This Omegle guy, now he's a friend on my MSN. He likes movies like I do. Not once did he ask 'asl'. Woahh. Yah. We talked about movies. And music. And knitting.

da daa da

Just killing time. Got Beatles Anthology 2 in the mail so I'm putting it onto iTunes.
I found chocolate covered gummi bears at the candy store. Pretty much made my week. Holy crap. They're my dream candy. Gummi bears. And chocolate. In one perfect union. Gorgeous.
mhmm mm hm. I like the lyrics to All You Need Is Love. Despite not making lots o sense.
Oh, I should go look for Anthology 3. Cheapest is about 15 bucks. Not bad compared to the 25 retail. I got 2 for like, 10. Oh man.
iTunes is a retard about ejecting discs. Srsly. Ah here we go.

Later: god I love Anthology Dos. At..at the beginning of You've Got to Hide Your Love Away, John goes "1-2-3 1-2-3 hold on" and there's a shattering sound and then he sings, "paul's broken a glass broken a glass paul's broken a glass a glass, he's broken a glass today" and you can hear Ringo tapping a beat along and then John goes, '1-2-3 oh are you ready? macca. 1-2-3" Argh Beatles. Love. At the end of Paul singing Yesterday live, John goes- "Thank you Ringo that was wonderful." Haha.

t-shirts

I need a Beatles tshirt. Or a John Lennon one. Cos his birthday is on the 9th. And I'm the 8th Of October. As another sidenote- I have the same birthday as Johnny Ramone. JOHNNY EMMEREFFING RAMONE. He's dead too isn't he? mhm. I like the Ramones. That's a band I love to see live. They make NOISE.
Anyway I was leaning toward a Sgt Pepper Lonely Hearts Club Band shirt but I also like this one, can't link it sorreh, that's got, WAR IS OVER on the front and IF YOU WANT IT on the back. And the 'YOU ARE HERE' and 'THIS IS NOT HERE' shirts that Lennon wore. Fucking hell. I'm way too obsessed, bollocks.
now I'm on Cafepress cos I have a five dollar off coupon. it's hard to search for things on that sight- can't just look up 'the beatles' nonono that would be too friggin easy. too difficult man. oof, i found a 'john and paul and george and ringo' shirt on cafepress. WIN

mwahha

Blake is hating me right now because I somehow got 'When I'm Sixty-Four' stuck in his head, although god knows how, it's not even on Rock Band, so I told him he could borrow my iPod for "some good Beatles music" and put on Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. That doesn't have When I'm Sixty Four on it, right? Today I was listening to Magical Mystery Tour. Damn. 'Your Mother Should Know' is so fucking catchy. oh oh your mother should know. I was walking somewhere with Heather but she was locking up her bike and I was singing and then I stopped and said, "fucking Paul McCartney." Writer of damn catchy songs that don't mean a fucking thing apparently. HELLO GOODBYE PAUL? I love the Hello Goodbye video tho. Random dancing! Shimmy-shaking George! Sgt. Pepper costumes! Grr.

The school called me mom today and told of my absences so she was kinda pissed I guess, so after entering 9 things knitted/crocheted/spun into the fair, I ran off to Arby's with Heather to avoid mom. And then we sat at Arby's for two hours, talking. She's pretty cool. We talk about fanfiction well together. Yaoi stuff. Good stuff.

Dude man. Blake's playing with my iPod- I had him on Sgt.Pepper but now he's watching the rooftop concert! I was like how'd you find that and he's like, it was labelled rooftop concert durr. Ahf. Kthen. I love that he's as Beatle-obsessed as I am.

So now I'm reading Beatles Fanfiction. Because it exists. And it is slightly creepy. But fun. :D
ETA; damn of all damns the Beatles ff site I'm at isn't WORKING this is fucking tragic.

i taste blood

Mostly cos I am self-destructive in a very slight way which is that I bite and chew and pick at my lips and it's disgusting to talk about but the general idea is that my lips usually look pretty cut up and swollen and red and yeah, they are. Anyway. Also the only other self-destructive thing I do is the thumb/fingernail thing. That's it.

I'm on amazon right now? thinking about buying Beatles Anthology 2 and the both of John's books that are one book together. Hnn. And A Hard Day's Night. I have it on my iPod but I need, like, a hard copy of it. Grr.

I'm slowly infecting my family with the Beatles. It's my mom now. She said she had "that stupid octopus song" stuck in her head all weekend. We then were all 'STUPID oh well kinda but YEAH'. And then she was Ringo-bashing ("he's the lame one right?") so we started to defend him but she was like, dude you guys make fun of Ringo ALL THE TIME lay off.

I made muffins today. Since I missed the lab in Foods. They are Chocochocochipmuffins. Mucho delish.
I keep singing 'and in the end, the love you take is equal to the looove you maaake.' My senior quote is going to be something Beatles-related. Or something Lennon. Like 'All we are saying is, give peace a chance.' or like 'time you enjoy wasting was not wasted.' I have a had a page full of Lennon quotes on my fridge for months now, even before I got obsessed with his music. Huh. I like 'living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see.' Mhmm. SOMETHING (in the way she moves..) gosh I need a life or something.
Or Anthology 2 and A Spaniard in the works/In His Own Write. AMWAHA.

eta: god I just love Paul's voice. Like. uhm crazy sometimes. Ah. What's weird is he talks like, i dunno how to say it, an old person. When he was younger. Srsly. Listen. AND HEAR. but uh, he is ridiculously sexy I think. Damn. I am too obsessed. grr.

i want you

is a really annoying song to play on Rock Band. Cos did you know. IT NEVER ENDS. Well on drums ha.

Anyway I'm watching that Across the Universe movie which is sort of awful but sort of awesome at the same time. The painful Beatles references are bad- "she came in through the bathroom window" and "Sadie" being incredibly sexy and all that, but some of the songs are good when not overdone and the boy who plays Jude is awfully pretty and sounds nice. And the 'I Want You' Army scene is scaring me. And since this is a movie, he (Max--ohh prolly Max ala Maxwell's Silver Hammer? damn, movie, just stop.) is bound to get drafted. Oh, movie. It's loading slow so whaddayagonna do.

I finished knitting my hat tonight. It's rather terrible but I love it because I KNITTED IT and it is GLORIOUS.

Or not loading at all GAHH. MOVIE. I liked the With a Little Help From My Friends scene and either I wasn't watching closely enough or- the girl singing I Wanna Hold Your Hand NEVER SHOWED UP in the movie AGAIN YET. WHAT THE HELL. And the name Jojo is from-ah I was just thinking and I figured it out. Jojo was a man who thought he was an owner...Get Back. Ooer, I love that song. And Prudence. From Dear Prudence. And Lucy, obvs from LSD. Hmm.

yarr

It be Talk Like a Pirate Day. Arr...
and that's all I got.
And I'm going to a little county fair about 30 miles off with my dad's girlfriend. Eep. But I dunno when she is picking me up. She said "in like an hour" and I dun remember when that was. Aw man.

So I'm bored and all. And I mean. There's only so many times I can watch Beatles stuff without getting terribly obsessed and bothered and whatnot. Aand I dunno how to hook up the XBox here. Blake usually does the XBoxy things. So I can't play Rock Band. I should be knitting. Mhmm.

And I wish I had my combat boots with me. So I could wear them. But instead I only have my double-upper second-hand Converse (I don't really like buying brand new Cons cos of the whole 'outsourcing' thing but I got these at a thrift shop, so none of my money goes to Converse-outsourcing-bastards) and my beatle boots. I don't wanna wear my beatle boots to the fair, and also I almost just typed bootles instead of beatle boots. Hmm. Here's a weird thing: Firefox spellcheck doesn't like beatle or beatles but Beatle or Beatles is fine. In fact. It suggests- 'Beatlemania' instead of 'beatle.' Oh Firefox. Anyway. Cons it is then. And anyway. These blisters on my heels, from thin socks + combat boots, are still healing. Ha. Heels. Healing. Man. Combat boots do wonders for confidence, though. I feel badass in those things. And in beatle boots? I look RIDICULOUS. Honestly. They're pointy. BUT GLORIOUS.

The weather here is mad. Hot all week and now suddenly- clouds and it's windy as hell. Would hell be windy I wonder? Not sure.

oof

Paul McCartney is pretty adorable guys. I mean like. Pretty much all the time UP TILL this year or so, haha, he's kind of old now? but I just bought at Goodwill, Tripping the Light Fantastic, one of Paul's (numerous i'm assuming) albums, I guess it's a sort of live show he did back in 1990-ish, and these are the 'highlights'. Anyway it seems to be Beatles songs, or his Beatles songs anyway, and nothing ex-Beatle Paul, but I was looking at the pictures on the booklet thing. Damn, he's fine. There's something about a guy with a guitar/bass that just gets me. Any guy, really. Beatles especially. and other rock 'n rollers- er, I'm not positive about Robert Plant-if he plays guitar or not- but he sure is pretty sexy. Or was. Aha.

Oh, my dad is full of surprises. I was packing & Blake was chatting with him and I come in and Blake's like, DAD KNOWS OCTOPUS'S GARDEN. and he did know the tune and some of the words. They must've been talking about Beatles Rock Band. And then Dad goes- does the game have Maxwell's Silver Hammer? and I'm like, ah no and Blake's like. WHAT. and yeah, Dad like grew UP on this stuff, so he knows it of course. And I'm slowly brainwashing Blake with the Beatles, ahah. I'll mention things to him- about Ringo or Paul or a song or a quote of theirs (when the press asked them about what they were doing writing 'daytripper' and 'norweigon wood' and saying it was supposedly about 'prostitutes and lesibians', paul says: 'we're just trying to write songs about prostitutes and lesbians.' and then they go- well what about 'eleanor rigby'? and john says: 'that's one's about a couple o' queers'.) and then I'll catch him humming 'yellow submarine' or stuff like that. And so he dropped him off for his camp thing- and I was across the parking lot- and I'm not sure why/how Blake was doing this, but I hear him go-'YEAH; he got the MOST FAN MAIL.' and the other kid was like rly? and blake was like' yeah out of ALL THE BEATLES RINGO got the MOST FAN MAIL.' DUDE WHICH I TOLD HIM. I read an interview thing where the press asked- Ringo why do you think you get the most fan mail? and Ringo says something like I suppose most of them write to me. Which reminds me of the line in 'A Hard Day's Night' where they're getting their fan mail- and Ringo has lots, and John says 'Must've cost you a fortune in stamps, Ringo.' Anyway. m'glad Blakery is liking The Beatles. I'm actually pretty sure EVERYONE HAS SOME CONNECTION/OPINION/ HAS AT LEAST HEARD OF/ TO/WITH the BEATLES. Srsly. Spanning many generations. Good job boys.


eta: omg I just realized this: I think Blake loves the Beatles almost as much as I do. Sadly Ringo is pretty much our favorite Beatle due mostly to Octopus's Garden and the fact he doesn't seem like much of a jerk and also he's still alive and DUDE, OCTOPUS'S GARDEN.

BOOTS

I have a thing for boots, I've got my combat boots and TODAY i got in the mail my BEATLE BOOTS. They are black and my size perfectly and a bit difficult to actually put on but I LIKE THEM. One issue. I will link you to someone you has said it perfectly, but quote anyway: "George Harrison laid it all out in black and white during the classic open of the film; "A Hard Days Night" when, while being chased through the streets of Notting Hill by a mob of randy schoolgirls (and boys if you watch closely), he fell flat on his ass. Of all the Beatles' accomplishments, perhaps the most impressive, but overlooked, was their collective ability to run in Beatle Boots." This is true. Serious. And that's one of my favorite parts of that movie.

Err I was rifling through my bureau last night, (right bureau niiice) looking for things I've knitted/crocheted to enter in the fair, when I find The Beatles Anthology: 1. It didn't like, magically appear there or anything, but I bought it yeeaarrs ago at a yard sale, on the basis that a) it was the school yard sale and I helped out, so basically anything I wanted was mine 2) they're the Beatles and while I didn't know who they were I knew who they were, you know? Oh wait. a and 2? Oh well. Anyway. So I found this. And it's cool. So yeah. Actually I had thought I lost it, when we moved. Well apparently I've lost the little booklet, damn it.


Oh I'm at dad's this weekend and Blake's off to some sort of boy scout camp. Much frolicking and homoerotic undertones, I'm sure; those boys scout camps are mad with the homoerotic undertones. Me and Dad are alone this weekend. We are going to a nearby fair. FUN.

Here is a fact about me- I am jumpy. So when my phone rings- "AHHHH!" or watching the toaster "----HOLY SHIT", when Blake suddenly opens his door and comes into the living room "ARH!" selecting a song on my iPod and my iPod taking a second "EEH!" and so my phone, sitting beside the keyboard, just rang, so I yell and wave my arms around. WHY DID I WAVE MY ARMS AROUND.

quick!

I just got back from a library volunteer thing, mhmm, it was...mini golf and ice cream. Fun. Funny cos I technically worked at the library.
Last night, I cut my hair with some scissors and it doesn't look to bad. Bit shorter.
Ah I've got to get the chicken out of the oven
okay and yah, what else..
OH OH OH. Since I was already late to school today, I didn't go to choir and instead bunked around in the school library, looking up Ringo Starr bios and such (aww poor Ringo.) and Paul Is Dead sites, and then, remember a story from mylifeisaverage.com, I made a series of folders in My Documents. Like this. Start here: you are: going to school one day: when suddenly you realize: there is no one around: far off in the distance: you hear strange noises: Do you: continue towards school, go back home, or investigate noises. Continue towards school: you continue: to school: when all of a sudden: you are atttacked- (and this is a .doc file, and in it it says) 'and eaten by a t-rex. man that sucks. (picture of t-rex) that guy is pretty scary. anyway, as you are ripped apart by his savage and magnificent jaws, you have to wonder why there are dinosaurs wandering around town'. Investigate noises: you go off: to find out what the noises are: and you find: a pack of raptors (.doc file that says:) 'who eat you. i'm sorry. (picture of raptors) raptors are pretty dangerous yo. you gotta watch out.' Go back home: so you return home: and spend the day: eating pizza and: watching spongebob. (.doc file that has) a picture of spongebob and a pizza. 'no dinosaurs were involved. awesome if you like that sort of thing.'

Anyway, I think it was a better use of my time then choir or whatever.
Today when I got home I was like, hey mom lol there's an open house tonight at school if you wanna go, all sarcasmy and she's like, yeah what time is it? So she's going eeep. I reccomended her towards Cowdrey, who she knows and he's a runner and Hays, who's awesome and a Beatle-fan like me, she's our German teacher, and Frazier, who I don't even have for a teacher this year but she's awesome, and Piper and a few of my brother's teachers. Man I didn't know she'd actually go. Suucks. However I did not give her the name of my computer teacher who's class I am so often amiss in. Byah. Accidentally I told of her my choir teacher- ohshitwhatifshetalkstohim he'llmentioniwasthere shitshitshit. Ah hell she won't talk to him I HOPE.

I better go round up my yarn and stuff, I've got a knit/crochet club at the library tonight. FUN TIMES AHEAD.

random beatles jokes/facts

Last night, I was reading the TvTropes thing on the Beatles (fookin' hilarious) and I found an SNL bit from the seventies where Lorne Michaels offered the Beatles a whole three thousand dollars to come on the show and perform 3 songs. My favorite part- "If you want to pay Ringo less, that's fine." LOL. Me and Blake are perpetually joking about Ringo & other Beatles. Oh! and a Denis Leary joke: "John Lennon, shot in the back six times. Yoko Ono, right beside him, not a bullet. Someobody explain this to me?" denis leary WIN.

teefury

Has Grab Bag tee tonight, FIVE DOLLA T-SHIRTS. To buy or not to buy? Well obvs TO BUY but two or three? I mean as long as I am buying shirts should I go in for three? mhmm. I has 15 shirts, in girly size shirts, and 4 or 5 in men's that I don't really wear- so uh. Three would make 18. And I'm turning 18. WHAT TO DO. And shipping is only two bucks. GOD. Alright, I'm doing it. And. AND THEN not buying any more things. I say, lying to myself. Arghahah. Whatever. T-shirts are t-shirt and money is money and Teefury shirts fit me especially well. SO HA.

bad mood

I am in a bad mood for no reasons in particular, just a bunch of little things adding up to a pissy mood and general sadness. That is all.

something smells of peanut butter

That reminds me. I've got to make espresso for tomorrow...
ah I got my John Lennon book in the mail. Of course now I'm very meh on Lennon and OOER on all the others, but good luck finding a bio of Ringo, lol. It's got a nice cover, though, the book. LENNONFACE WATCHA. As opposed to the hardcover missing-it's-paper-cover Shout! The Beatles in Their Generation that I've got. OH. NOW I NEED GEORGE AND PAUL BOOK YES. -goes off on amazon- And I want Lennon's In His Own Write but not a newer one with the Yoko Ono forword. I try to not hate Yoko Ono cos John Lennon and she were in love and LOVE IS ALL YOU NEED. Still. On Sunday- I saw an interview on Entertainment Tonight- some reporter girl, obv from the Beatles generation and fangirly- had this "Beatles reunion", she interviewed Paul and Ringo and Olivia Harrison and Yoko Ono. She was asking dumb, fangirly questions (most people would do the same thing, lol, but she was so very annoying) and Paul and Olivia were mostly putting up with it and going along while Ringo was very mehh and vague answers while Yoko Ono, well, was Yoko Ono. Man. Say what you want about Yoko, but she is friggin' fierce. Srsly. She would cut a bitch. And was this close to that with this reporter chick- some retarted question about John and Yoko justs looks at her like, 'excuse me?' and this lady starts stammering and trying to make sense and I was like, dude, lol. Anyway she had this huge crush on Paul, obvs, and evidently a great dislike for Ringo. Nnr.

What was a I doing. BOOKS. and espresso lol how did bold get on haha. there we go. Oh I am too lazy for book shopping now. All that typing and opening and closing tabs and reading reviews. I want to finish Shout! by tomorrow anyway, wanna start on Lennon: The Definitive Biography. I was reading the back and it said 'completely revised and updated' and srsly, what is there more to update? like, he's dead? so. eh maybe if they had more pictures & info & quotes or something? anyway, looks good. This Shout! book I'm reading seems to favor John and diss Paul a lot and usually, just leave Ringo out of the whole story. Like, he was describing what they did when they weren't recording music- at least 3 pages on John, 2 on Paul, 1 1/2 to George (and even then mostly to his sitar, ha) and literally? a paragraph for Ringo. Awww. Poor Ringo.

:D

I am a happy mood, it's peculiar. My beatle boots shipped and my combat boots that I wear all the time are falling apart, yo, sup with that? The sole is coming off. Ergh. Hot glue gun fixes most things?

Today I didn't go to 4th hour, shh, it was just that by the time I'd gotten all the way almost over there, I was already like 5 minutes late, and I'd forgotten my music notebook, it's choir yah, and my voice is all cold-y so I went and hid in the school library. I started putting Post-It notes in books, which was super fun. In A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, I put 'THIS is a good book- nice choice!' and on the Darren Shan vampire books, I put 'these books suck- do NOT read' and in two Nicolas Sparks books where the guy dies at the end, I put 'he dies at the end-sorry!' in the front. In the middle of a Sears Roebucks Catelogue from 1927, next to a picture of a 10 gallon hat, I put 'this hat is RIDICULOUS'. I found a book on the Beatles, called A Teenager's Guide to The Beatles, clearly written by some Beatle fangirl (well i'm a fangirl too but, like, i have no delusions on what awful people they were sometimes), very poorly written with some sketchy facts, and it left some stuff out, so I bothered to place a sticky note to inform them. A special paragraph was devoted to Brian Epstein, saying nothing of his sexual preferences or wackyness in general, so I put 'this books fails to mention brian epstein was homosexual & fell in love with john lennon- that's why he wanted to be their manager'. Where it talked about how they recieved their MBEs, it, again, failed to mention something. Naturally I wanted to help. 'they were high when they recieved their awards- lol'.

I'm gonna do more. Very fun. Highlight of day? YES. That and the WHOSE RESPONSIBLE THIS meme over on toplessrobot.com. It's also still very hot here, WHY, it's going into FALL soon and it's like 90 degrees WTF, thanks al gore.

I want to walk down to St. Vinnie's to look at stuff but it might be too hot grr. is my bike in working order i wonder?

they call me best

Pete Best, that is, BECAUSE I AM AWFUL ON DRUMS at rock band anyway, Blake's totes rocking the guitar/bass and I'm flailing around on drums and I'm like don't kick me out of the baand, Blake.

if I had three friends who liked me/the beatles enough to wear these, we would be The Beatles for Halloween and it. would. be. AWESOME. or we could be in suits and Beatle boots. OMG. I am very excited for my beatle boots. I hope they fit alright. oh hey that costume site only's got red and blue and green, no orange for george? man. fail.

hmm i make it a point to not buy tees from sites that don't provide size charts, but this Lennon shirt is pretty frigging awesome too bad no sizies. aw man.

also something random I have to share with you, as long as we're on the Sgt. Pepper costume subject. here is the creepiest picture I have ever seen of John Lennon, and you will see why momentarily:


OKAY WHAT THE HELL, RIGHT. HANDS. IN. PANTS. Sort of CREEPY/CASUALLY, too, like, yep. Paul, beside him, slightly raised eyebrow: rly john?. George: damn my hair is fiine should i put a thumb up oh no too late and Ringo, looking stoned out of his mind, naturally. Anyway, the weird bit is this, that's there's another pic of this scene:






Clearly taken at a different time, they've shifted, see the dropped hands for Paul and George; the camera man has moved or something, and STILL, JOHN, HANDS TUCKED INTO PANTS. Ringo, still: guys whut is goin on there is a camera pointing at me hullo cameraa. Also does he look preggers or is that just me? My brother calls John, with that mustache, his pedophile mustache. Srsly.

still sick here

But I'm well enough to buy things, ahah, actually Hot Topic has these neat beatle boots on sale, and they're usually 60+ dollars but they're here for 30 with shipping, I've got to haaave them, so this a reminder to myself to go and pay for those, they're in the cart, but I can't buy them right now since my mother is in the room and she approves not of buying things, and also there's this shirt I crazy need, but I can put that off I just needs me some beatle boots. Yes named after the Beatles I'm pretty sure; they are pretty awesome (the boots & the band). Even if I don't really approve of Hot Topic.
ahh what the hell HotTopic. So i did the whole ordering thing and clicked 'place order' and then it gives me this vague 'your order number has been placed' thing and so I check my email, thinking there'd be an order confirmation-nope. and so I check my account on hot topic, and there's only a thing i ordered last year, and the boots are still in my cart- what the frigging hell, hot topic?!? grrr. and they don't have a support email or customer service email or some bs. ergh. and i called them and they put me on hold and it's confusing, there's no 'help' button or anything, just one for new orders and existing orders. damn. arghh..should i just place the order again i wonder? fuckity fuck fuck. i really want these boots, fucking fucckkk.
eta, later: Called and no, the order didn't place. Tried again. BOUGHT THEM. YEAHH.

shaaame

I'm still pretty sick but I got medicine, some cold stuff and it's alright but I still feel awful.

I still went shopping today w/ mom. We got coffee flavors and at St. Vinnie's, I bought some glow in the dark stars and then when she went grocery shopping, I went next door to Hastings, promising myself to not buy any books. I saw a pretty neat Beatles one and didn't work up the nerve to ask someone to help me find In His Own Write but I looked at music, there was some George Harrison stuff and Paul and John, all the Paul ones were used and cheap, ha, but there was only ONE Ringo Starr album and it was marked down to 2.50. Time Takes Time. Of course I bought it. I was this close to buying a Paul McCartney one, too, but, eh.

I came home and Blake was all, whadja buy and I'm like, don't..don't laugh at me, Blake, i'm ashamed of my purchase. He was also amused by the 2.50 thing. God, we spend hours joking about Ringo Starr. Uh, we had a good one. I was telling him about a book Ringo had, (also about how I cannot find any biography on Ringo Starr- I can find them on John&George quite easily, they're dead, and there's even a few on Paul for godsake but no Ringo ones, hmm) where he had put postcards that the other Beatles sent him into book form, and he wrote captions to them and stuff. I told Blake of this book, and he was like, 'wait, did they go places and LEAVE him there? or did he just like, forget to come? is one of the postcards 'dear ringo-you missed the plane. having fun w/out you. from george' or whatever? what the hell.' One of our running jokes is that Ringo Starr was just stoned all the time. 'what's a beatle?' 'i play drums?' ' Cos of okay, I read this thing where it listed all the celebrities/famous folk on the Sgt. Pepper cover, and I was just skimming it, mostly John and Paul had picked them, and gave reasons, and George chose some and there were some quotes, and Ringo had said: "I don't remember it, really, I must've been there. I was in the picture.." something along the lines of that. We're like, wth, Ringo was so stoned he doesn't remember it, that's hilarious. Uhh...lost of train of thought now...Ringo. Oh, right. We want to make shirts that say 'poor ringo' or something like that. Haha. Continually, we quote that scene from the Dewey Cox: Walk Hard movie, which has a ridiculous title but is a pretty hilarious movie. 'I've got a song about an octupus' "ringo" says, and "John" says, 'Jam it up your ass, you're lucky we still let you play drums' and there's a lot of good jokes in it, like when John (played by Paul Rudd) says to Paul (Jack Black, lol) "i wonder if your songs will still be shit when I'm sixty-four..."

anyway, we do spent a lot of time playing Beatles Rock Band. The best thing about it is, well I'm not video-gamey but Blake is, and it's cool cos it doesn't bother me when he plays it cos it's awesome music.

So I knitted my mom a hat for her birthday and now I like knitting hats, i'm agonna knit everyone for christmas, yayy

mhmm right now I'm singing 'Chains' by yeah, the beatles, is it George that sings Chains I think?

a little out of it

cos I am sick, i've got this head cold thing maybe, it's a headache and throat awfulness and my nose is stuffy and weird so i'm a little off today, i stayed home from school and I read my Beatles book which is very good, it's not JUST about the beatles, well i mean it is but also it's like here's this brian epstein guy and he was in love with john lennon and he had a record store and this george martin guy was a total bamf and so on and also i finished knitting a hat for my mom, which was too small for my head but fit her just fine and looks nice with her blue top and it's her birthday so that worked out well and and and annndd i played beatles rock band, i like the bass but drums are fun, it's a lot of hitting things and so now i'm knitting another hat for my mom and i'm really tired and i ate noodles today, they were very good

i feel awful

Like I am getting sick or something, yeh. Urgh.

BUT I HAS BEATLES ROCK BAND. AND IT IS AWRSOME. I usually play drums and Blake's on guitar or bass (bayse not BAHSS like i say it sometimes) and we got my mom to do vocals with us, too, last night, and today at lunch I brought Heather over and we played some, and after school Blake's friend Cameron was here, and he did drums and blake on guitar and I did vocals, which I love. I can do George songs and Paul songs, voice-wise, but Ringo goes a bit too low for me and John's voice is all over the place it's crazy. But I'm real good on Rock Band drums. I'm beating out rhythms all the time now. Boom chaka boom chaka. I like singing Hello Goodbye

telephone conversations, aka my father is a jerk

Conversation between me and my dad on the phone about 3 o clock:
Me: Hey dad you should take me to get Beatles rock band.
Dad: Like today?
Me: haha yes today, like right now maybe
Dad: well I'm at Sandy's watching a movie
Me: you said you'd take me, so when can you take me?
Dad: in a few hours
Me: what.
Dad: and my truck is at home anyway, so your mom better take you to get it
Me: FUCK. WHATEVER. -hang up and stomp inside to bitch about it on blog-
AND THEN like a few minutes ago, here's a conversation with mom:
Mom: hey where are you?
Me: HOME grr
Mom: I've got the money for you when you go and get it, so
Me: he's not taking me. Well in a few hours apparently
Mom: what?
Me: yeah he's at his girlfriends watching a movie, and he can't come pick me up cos his truck is at home.
Mom: let me check. (her work is right across the street from dad's house, it used to be our house, anyway) Alyssa his truck is not there, but I think that's his girlfriend's truck.
Me: what
Mom: yeah I'm not sure why he told you that but I don't see his truck here
Me: -close to tears-
Yeah so apparently he's not only a jerk but a liar. Mom's gonna take me after she gets off work, at 5:30. And she just called to tell me to totally call him out on his lie, I guess I'll have to, he's just a dick most of the time.

On another note, I really like the Magical Mystery Tour album.

t-shirts again

threadless having 9 dollar sale. Buying two. Twenty if By Giant Robot and something else, hmmm..

fun in foods

I know what you're thinking, wtf you just posted a blog. WELL THIS ONE has a different topic, which is how hilarious my foods and nutrition class is. Specifically, my table & friends.

So actually, I barely know this one girl-her hair is blue so I call her Blue, ha- but we clearly think a lot a like, we make dirty jokes and she enjoyed watching Yellow Submarine with me and she laughs at weird things like me. And Heather is at my table, and I know her, and this other girl I don't really know but doesn't hate us so she's alright. And. So. I have a thing against the teacher in this class, Mrs Romesburg, we have been rivals since my freshmen year when I had personal choices and went about making a ruckus and being loud and subersive, I assume? also I wrote something about her in my newspaper, but that's a different story. SO TODAY we were given this 'pre-test' and Mrs. R was like, 'it's not worth anything, just put down what you know, it won't count against you if you get it wrong' and I was like, 'so if it doesn't really count do i have to do it then?' and she says yes and so I just randomly start circling things and writing the wrong answers obnoxiously. Like 'how many tablespoons in a cup?' TWENTY THREE. and 'which of these has the most calcium?' and I crossed out the answers and put CANDY?

The best part was the last question, which was short answer. It said, 'What are your nutritional concerns?' I didn't want to be boring and put stuff like 'calories' or 'not getting enough iron' or some bs, so I wrote, in a sort of cramped, serious hand- 'sometimes I am afraid my food is going to try & eat ME' and I showed it to Blue, who thought it was mucho hilarious, so she wrote on hers, 'I am afraid of BECOMING what I eat, like turning into a donut and getting eaten' and then she drew a donut. On my sheet she drew an ice cream cone with a mouth and eyes and teeth coming after stick figure me with the words 'OMNOMNOM' and me with 'oh no'. Heather, who is always too wordy and more concerned with the word that make up a joke rather then the joke itself, wrote 'how do I know what i eating hasn't been around me for years?' and I told her to add, 'soylent green=people' just to clean it up a bit. I actually wanted her to write 'I do not want to be a cannibal' but she did not. She is not too good with jokes but she is very good at writing. (her essay she wrote today is super impressive, words and quotes and page numbers and all, it's scary and also I am so glad I switched out of AP)

Anyway, we spent the class laughing and giggling at back, because then we made more dirty jokes and I told Blue if she turned into a muffin, I would eat her, because I fucking love muffins.

WIN

I talked to my mom rationally today and YES. I AM GETTING THE BEATLES ROCK BAND HOLY SHIT. Arghaah. Sounds of happiness. Well. Mom's giving me 60 and dad's giving me 60 and I'm putting in 40 and that's enough for the value pack at Wal-Mart tomorrow and OH DEAR GOD. Blake's like, err if i help you set up the xbox can i play the guitar? and i am like HECK YES I WANNA PLAY DRUUUMMMS. I'VE SPENT HOURS WATCHING RINGO STARR FOR THIS EXACT MOMENT. I do feel slightly guilty about downloading all the albums off of youtube, ahah, but not too bad, shockingly. Mostly cos I think I am getting the cds for Christmas since Rock Band is mah birthday present (also me and mom are going on a girl's out weekend or something etc like that, yeh) and the videos are bothersome to listen to since you can only listen to the album in bits- but I like just listening to it, it's glorious. So far I'm really loving Sgt. Pepper. And Revolver. Today, in Foods, I started singing, 'what would you do if I sang out of tune, would you stand up and walk out on me?' beside me, Heather said: no. 'well lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song and I'll try not to sing out of key OH I get by with a little help my friends, MHMM I get high with a little help from my friends..' and shelby was like, dude please tell me you didn't get that from Across the Universe, and I was like, no lol Sgt. Pepper.

Oh man oh man I don't even know how I'm gonna go to sleep/school tomorrow. DUUUDE. Too excited for video game. This is not very me at alls. I've never been excited about a video game like this before, it's unreal. Blake is weirded out by it. Ooer.

I've figured out this video/ipod thing. CLEVER AJ. Yeh, if they're not already converted you've got to convert them. And it makes doubles, gah, which is unhappy-making so sometime I've got to sift through all the doubles and find it.

My German teacher, Hays, who is a total Beatlesfreak (like she's got these AWESOME Bealtes figurines in the back- Ed Sullivan era- and the picture where they're standing in the wind, circa Let It Be i think SIGNED, and by the door a framed pic of them getting of the plane, and today I noticed she also has framed 'HELP!' and 'A Hard Day's NIght' records. KICK SOME ASS, HAYS) and today I turned in a extra credit thing where we find videos online with German in them. Well, I found Paul TRYING to sing Get Back in German trying, cos he can't actually and randomly says stuff I guess. Omg. I just watched the concert where they played on the roof- ahh I love the Beatles. At the end where the police are like, hmmpf hmpf, and Paul is saying stuff like, 'get back loretta, you been playing on rooftops again, you're gonna get arrested, get back home!' and then John says, 'on behalf of the band I just would like to say I hope we passed the audition.' and Ringo thanking his wife for clapping, 'thanks mo.' Ohhh. Beatles. LOVE. I got one of the books I ordered today- it was shipped to dad's, weird, but anyway, it's mostly focusing on John & Paul so far, I hope it does some on George and Ringo eventually, even though thanks to 'Liverpool 8', I know most of Ringo's life story, ha. Also. The book was written in 1980, a little outdated, so I should pick up a newer one soon enough. At least it's got the Lennon dying bit. Oh yes you bet I cried when I read the thing in the beginning about him dying. WHY. I know, I know. There are many things to be sad about and nothing to do about them all the time but I can't help it.

errggh mom

I told mom of my wish to buy The Beatles Rock Band and she was like, oh honey they're dead. AHHA lol. No but the game, mom it looks super awesoomme. And she didn't think this was a good idea. Like as an early birthday present thing. Trying to convince her will be tricky. She doesn't approve of me spending money. BUT I NEEDS IT.

also I am trying to put videos on my iPod again, this is such an ordeal it's probably not worth it. tiring.

my mother is a space cadet

So I just talked to my mom (she's stuck in traffic and will be later then she already expected- LATER Then LATER apparents) and I was like, dude so what poster did you get? 'the abbey road one' she says. I was lol really? I liked yelled NOT ABBEY ROAD, NOT THE ABBEY ROAD ONE. so she gets abbey road, haha, she's a dork, but it's all right, the Beatles are the Beatles.
We ordered a pizza (cos mom is goinna be home later) from Pizza Hut, who have a bigger 'special instructions' box and we put: knock to the tune of the star imperial march. I really hope they do.
eta: Did not. I tipped anyway. he was cute. :D

the beatles rock band, i am needing it

It doesn't matter I've never played a game like that before or that I technically don't even own that game console or that it's 140 bucks or any of those, really, I need the Beatles rock band. I'm going to ask my mom if she'll go halfsies on it with me, or at least pay for some it for early birthday present, because I need it so bad. And Blake says if I get it, he'll play with me. :D I was like, 'i'm not even very good at games like this, it comes with a guitar and a drum set' and he says, 'don't worry, you can just be ringo'. Haha. He wants to be John. The super expensive one comes with some kickass guitar replicas of whatever John&Paul&George played and the pearl finish 'The Beatles' drums of Ringo's while the cheaper one comes with just drums and guitar and microphone and yes, I've got to buy it. Now it's just a matter of not buying it all by myself. And dad says if I get it I can borrow his xbox.

Jimmy Fallon was talking about Beatles Rock Band, and I saw this joke coming from a mile away but I still laughed, "There are three levels, yeah. Hard, medium, and Ringo."

My mom's in Seattle and since she's coming home late wanted to get me something, so I told her to get In His Own Write by John Lennon and apparently, her boyfriend, Curtis, said something about Lennon having 'an attitude, and not a very good one.' Well shut up, Curtis. He's like my idol. And anyway. In His Own Write was before he was all Yoko Ono and long hair, not like there was anything wrong with it. Blargh. They didn't have it, so she called and was like,
they don't have it, anything else you want? How about a George Harrison album?' I was like, 'dude WHAT George Harrison album?' cos I really want Let It Roll or some other one, but she didn't say, so I was like, 'how about John Lennon music? Imagine, Lennon Legend?' and she asked the guy for a Beatles CD and I was like NO. JOHN. LENNON. (too embaressed to ask for Ringo Starr, aha) and then she switched topics and was like, how about a poster? 'FINE. What poster?' and she listed off a few and so I told her ANYTHING BUT THE ABBEY ROAD ONE. So I think she's getting the Let It Be one but I hope not. Oh well. It's better then the black and white hazy pictures I printed off the school comps a week ago.


See I look at this limited edition bundle of Beatles rock band stuff and it hurts it's so awesome. Like. The bass and the drum set and the guitarr. Nnr. But the best I can hope for is the value pack and that's awesome enough. Damn. Breathe in, breathe out, i fucking need this game...

t-shirts and me

Tonight was Random Shirt night on shirt.woot.com. 6.66 for a random shirt. I bought three. And overnighted them. I tell Blake, "blake oh god I have a problem." and he says, "you have a problem all right, you're not buying enough shirts." Ahaha.

it's painful how badly i want to play rock band

Specifally, the Beatles Rock Band. Despite having never played any Rock Band or Guitar Hero game in my life, or, for that matter, any Xbox 360 games. Yeah. And yet, here I am on Amazon, looking at the game and thinking, oh, my, god. The value pack is 130 dollars while the Limited Edition is like 230 but still. 130. Well I don't actually have an xbox. It's my dad's. BUT I WANT TO PLAY THIS GAME. I'm not even a gamer. Ah god. This is painful. I could ask for it for my birthday but here's the thing: if I am getting anything for my birthday, it's going to be a digital camera, the Beatles Remastered CDs, or the Beatles Rock Band. I'm sort of leaning towards the CDs but ROCK BAND for god's sake. Then again,I wouldn't get to play it most of the time, cos it's my dad's xbox, arghh...

things i have learned about ipods

1. They are tricky bastards. What's that? Want to choose what songs go on your iPod? NOT GONNA HAPPEN. Thanks for automatically putting all the junk I don't want on there on there.
2. It wants legality. So if you've spent a few days downloading videos off of youtube and then planning to put them on your iPod, it's not going to happen very easily. But it works. Somehow. I haven't got it figured out yet...
3. Apparently if you leave it on your bed without turning it off and assuming it will shut itself off eventually, it will not.
4. It won't replay an album automatically. So if the Nerf Herder album has played itself through, it is not going to start back at the beginning. You have to do that one by yourself.

I am thinking about downloading the Beatles albums off of youtube, 'cept where I really kinda WANT them, but I don't know if they'll sync to my iPod, whether it be on this computer or the one at home.
AND I need new musics. To listen to. I'm thinking about some Bruce Springsteen, but does anyone have any more suggestions for rock 'n roll music that's good?

kinda the best brother today

Blake has been super cool today I dunno why, we've just been clicking today. Like we were joking around about the Paul Is Dead theory, like, we've started a few of our theories. Ringo Starr is Bono or Bono is Ringo Starr and personally, I like, Bono Is Scott Summers and Therefore CAN NEVER TAKE HIS SUNGLASSES OF OR LASERS WILL SHOOT OUT FROM HIS EYES but Blake likes the Bono's Sunglasses Are Cursed and He Can Never Take Them Off. And the Everyone BUT Paul McCartney Died in 1966 and They Were All Replaced theory.

I've got Working Class Hero by John Lennon stuck in my head, it's a really good song and it's kinda how I think about a lot of things. I agree with John Lennon sometimes and other times I am just like, SHUT UP YOKO.

Sometimes I randomly start singing 'first I was a sailor. I sailed the seas. then I got a job, in a factory..' which is Ringo's song Liverpool 8. apparently a lot of people hate him for that song. Apparently a lot of people hate Ringo Starr for a lot of reasons; it's weird, because if you're going to hate any Beatle, why Ringo? he seems so nice. Not the best lyricist, but I like his stuff. ('we were young, we had fun..' from never without you. he wrote it for george and it makes me sad.) Haha, some of these Facebook groups make me laugh. Paul McCartney is Prettier Than Me, i joined that one, and Paul McCartney is a Woman. He is srsly way too pretty. That's why I keep watching the Hello Goodbye video, even though Hello Goodbye I don't like too much by itself, but the video, it's great. And the Penny Lane video is weird but the literal version IS AWESOME. Srsly. 'It looks like John is saying Bite Me to the camera guy.' AND IT DOES. 'What the hell?! It's our guitars.' Ha. BEST THING.

We went out for dinner and me and Blake were talking about the Beatles and Dad, randomly, says, 'yeah, girls used to go crazy for the Beatles..all that long hair...' and I was like, wtf dad hii. And then he went on to say his dad would always, like, say stuff: 'bunch of dirty long-haired hippies...' and this made me laugh because, ha, what? That's pretty awesome/hilarious. My grandpa bitching about the Beatles. And their hair. In the 70's.

My dad, who's a mailman, say the mailmen who deliver to my house say I sure order a lot of t-shirts. OMG. I did not know the mailmen keep track of my packages. And dad's like, 'the post office keeps track of many things about you, AJ.' and it was totally creepy. He paused and then said, 'it's nice you've been going to school on time lately.' WTH MAILMEN.

ooer look who's skipping school (and british apparently)

Today is the "big game" at my school. I have stopped caring. All the classes were shortened so we could have a pep assembly during the last half hour. I call bullshit. well, the whole thing is bullshit, it's stupid and trite and overblown and ridiculous and I always hate them so i walked home. And today was pictures and for the Seniors it was just pics for our ASB cards so didn't really matter, but they called us out my grade/name so it was like, 'freshman a-l, go get pictures' and then they were like 'seniors, go get pics' and so I BOOKED out of choir and got my pictures, then I fixed my boots while lounging about till I figured out what time lunch started, then I went home to check for mail. No mail. I was hoping for books. Argh. Oh, ha, there was an announcement about the time before I left: if you have had your pictures done, please return to your classes and do not hang around in the hallways. So I left, yeh.

And in German today, besides totally PWNING the other team, a girl was like, "DUDE. ARE YOU BRITISH." I was like er wha? and she's like ENGLISH YOU SOUND ENGLISH ARE YOU FROM BRITAIN WHERE ARE YOU FROM. I'm like, born and raised here, yeh, and she was like NO WAY WHY DO YOU HAVE AN ACCENT THEN so I said I have a speech impediment (i do) but in retrospect I should've told her I just transferred from Hogwarts. Bah. And well. I do sound British sometimes. cos of the British shows I watch and the amount of Beatles videos I watch, it's hard not to imitate the accent or pick it up. And the speech impediment, it impends, yes, like to do my r correctly I have to set my mouth weirdly and so the vowels get mashed up or the r or the h or I add an h or my voice dips or something.

So yeh. Uh. I was googling 'ringo star without sunglasses' but before I got to the 'without sunglasses' bit it said, Google suggested 'ringo starr thomas and friends' and yeah, I had to see that. He was on Thomas the Tank Engine. OH RINGO.
OH WHAT THE HELL. THEY'RE REMAKING YELLOW SUBMARINE in 2012. WHYY.

I've not watched the whole thing yet but the voices threw me off- it's not their own voices. However, Ringo sounds like Ringo and Paul sounds like Paul but John and George don't really at all. Their cartoon characters, anyway, they still sing the songs. In the old one. But I like it.

Haha, Blake just got back from school & the assembly and he said that the video they usually play, like a school spirity one that the football kids did, they couldn't get it to work for like an hour. I lol'd.

i has homework

but instead I am downloading Beatles videos from youtube and trying to put them on my iPod. I saw the Hello Goodbye video on the Beatles Anthology and it was so funny, they looked so unethusiastic and adorable I has to have it. And I'm re-trying to get the When We Was Fab video.
So last night, I downloaded When We Was Fab by George Harrison and this was after I listened to his music on Grooveshark for an hour or so, and I liked it, but I didn't feel like buying a whole album. But then I downloaded 'Ringo' without ever having heard of any of Ringo's solo stuff. On pure faith alone on Ringo's awesomeness. And it worked out. I'm The Greatest, the first song, I loved, and the story is that John wrote it and gave it to Ringo, which made me go, oh John. And George and Paul did some songs with him on the album, too. And Early 1970 makes me all sad. I love Ringo. I'm downloading Never Without You which he wrote for George which again, sad, and and and, oh, Liverpool 8, which is more recent and also very good.

So no, I was just on Amazon looking at George and Ringo albums (i want paul's music eventually but uh, yeh, he's paul, and also john's got imagine or something, right?) and Blake comes in and I am like, oh dear god Blake please stop I am this close to buying like 4 Ringo Starr albums, and he's like STOP DEAR GOD and then I saw there's a Ringo Starr and the Roundheads Live dvd coming out soon and I WANT IT SO BAD and Blake had to literally take the mouse from me and exit out of the tab. I have a problem and it's name is Ringo Starr. Awr. Also George Harrison. But mostly Ringo.

I still have to do some homework. On Berlin. For German. But I was being Ringo-obsessed (yes, Never Without You had me this close to tears, aww) (so I just bought it off itunes)

Me and Blake joke around a lot, and I told him about this Paul Is Dead thing and how Paul Is Not Dead and then we started joking around, everyone BUT Paul is dead, and also Ringo Starr looks a lot like Bono from U2. Hmm. So now our "theory" is EVERYONE BUT PAUL IS DEAD COS RINGO STARR IS NOT RINGO STARR HE IS ALSO BONO and that's why Ringo or Bono never takes their sunglasses off. Although I heard it's cos Ringo's eyes are sensitive to light or something but what's Bono's excuse then? aha

argh I can never get the vids to quite properly get onto my iPod. Or only some of them for some reason. Liek HDN and Yellow Submarine: fine. Help! and HP Musical and music vids: nope. No idea why. Downloaded the same way.
Oh god Heather is the best person ALIVE right now. This Berlin thing I have to do for German- it's extra credit but, like, it's all this info that's hard to find or requires lots of reading, and it turns out Heather, who was in German 1 two years ago, STILL HAS HER EFFING NOTES so she's giving me the answers. Also today we played with our Nerf Swords in the park and did not take into account how many people we would have to skirt around to get there. For one thing- you have to walk by the highschool, the grade school, and the skate park. aand the high school football field. Where the football fields were practicing. And the cross country team was in the park. So we found a deserted corner/lonely jungle gym and beat the crap out of each other with Nerf Swords. She hit me in the face 2 times. I was like 'ahh that was my FACE' and then I LUNGED and it was so much fun. And now we're both dead tired but have a lot of homework and we're dueling tomorrow.

i'm sure i mentioned this

About how much I friggin love Ringo Starr and I've no idea why. I was just watching the Beatles Anthology and like, he's Ringo. And awesome. And I love George and Paul and John (to an extent, ha, no jk, he's awesome but I think he stopped eating&shaving&bathing around 1970, yeh?) but he's Ringo and also I just bought his first album. Called RINGO. From iTunes. I'm not sure I like buying music from iTunes, for one cos it's so easy and for another because I don't get the little booklet with the CD which usually has some hilariousness or something with it. It's good for buying things RIGHT NOW and just one song but for albums I think I'll stick to by CDs.
And Ringo Starr's band? Ringo Starr and his All-Starr Band. Ahah. Gotta love him.

eta: I got Yellow Submarine on my iPod! Yes! Tomorrow, I'll try to get Help! and Very Potter Musical.

goddamn you, itunes

See I got Hard Day's Night vids on there perfectly fucking fine and now Help! or any other vids won't WHAT THE HELL/

this is too easy

Today was a good day. I shall explain:
I slept well. I know I had some sort of dream, it was pleasant and no one was savagely eaten by bears (which happened in my dream on Monday, it was fucking terrifying, but not just for that reason) and my mom called me at 7:40 and told me to go to school. I wasn't late.

I looked good. I mean sometimes I look fine and sometimes I look awful and sometimes I look alright but damn, I looked good today. So I wore my black combat boots and black pants and my 'City Built on Rock and Roll' shirt, which is also black (natch), and wore my hair with some of it clipped back (so i could BREATHE) and black eyeliner. Shit. No joke, I felt & looked damn fine. Of course, stepping out into the sun was hell, since it's like 98 here, and the boots paired with the socks that slip off my heels was no good idea-since about 5th hour I realized I had blisters on my heels from the shoe rubbing against it. STILL.

I was just kind of happy- weirdly. Well, after lunch (which was a muffin and some pain killers, ha). And today Super Wal-Mart opened here and I was NOT planning on going but Heather called to bring me along and I figured we might as well get it over with. So I had to change into blue shorts and my shirt with the TARDIS on it since it's grey.

I got a NERF SWORD. At Super Wal-Mart. And then me and Heather battled them outside of Wal-Mart and we've got a duel set tomorrow after school at the park. Aha!

THE POST CAME. Well. THE MAIL. HERE'S THE MAIL IT NEEVER FAILS...yeh, you get the idea. ANYWAY. I had rushed home during lunch to get pills and get back in time for pizza at the SPAM meeting (no pizza left, aw) but I was in a terrible mood, I felt like shit and it was so hot, so I was arhh mail BUT I got my IPOD and my PAYCHECK YAYY. And I've mostly figured this iPod thing out. For one thing it's fugging huge. Like, it's heavy and rather large and it's 80 gb and refurbished- at Super Wal-Mart Heather was like this close to buying an iPod for herself and I was like, girl shop ONLINE for it, like I did, and then she mocked my iPod for being large and 80 gb while the one we saw at the store was small and 120. Like wha.

I'm putting Help! and A Hard Day's Night on my iPod and I'm downloading Yellow Submarine so I can put that on there, too. Oh, and A Very Potter Musical. And I downloaded George Harrison's song When We Was Fab because it keeps getting stuck in my head. The keyboard bit is catchy. Now I'm looking for All Of My Love by Led Zep cos it's I like it. or just a Led Zep album I think I'll go with. Yeah. Mothership. I am, apparently, going to waste all my money on iTunes, it's deceptively simple to buy music. AH! See? Just spent like 13 bucks. On music. Whatthehell. Okay, well it was 24 songs. Mhmm. Better.

Whenever I see the George Harrison album art in my iTunes library, I go "GEORGE!". Always. Just like whenever I see a picture of Ringo I go, 'oh ringo'. I like Ringo the best cus he's the only Beatles I'm absolutely frigging positive that's alive, oh ha ha ha. And his laugh. :D

it's fuggin hot

and it really shouldn't be cos it's like September it doesn't need to be 100 degrees. Yknow.
Fam. was annoying me so I'm blasting George Harrison music from grooveshark into my headphones but it keeps on sounding like someone is behind me. And there is no one. In any case George Harrison's music is alright. I was reading a book on John Lennon today- not such a good one, but it was a library one, and had some pretty cool pics and had some did I mention really nice pics of very young Lennon & Friends.

And also I've slowly been brainwashing my family with the Beatles. For instance- last night I was had minimized the folder with A Hard Day's Night in it, and it was labelled 'A Hard Day's Night', somewhat aptly, yeah, and my mom was on the computer and numerous times I caught her humming 'it's been a hard day's night...I been working like a dog..." whereupon I was like, 'I should be sleeping like a log..' and then we joined in on 'but when I get home to you all the things that you do..' bit. And even Blake! walked in my room today where I was just singing All You Need is Love while it playing (aha, the only Beates CD I actually own is '1' which is annoying cos it has just the hits or something, and not enough good songs, but it's pretty good) and then like 10 minutes he was singing 'all you need is love, love..' Haha.
I'm listening to While My Guitar Gently Weeps which I like cos of George Harrison but it's weird, the Beatles didn't actually want to record it, they didn't like it so much, so George brought his best guitar buddy Eric Clapton in to do lead guitar so he could sing it. I like the guitar and base in it.
So weirdly enough I really really like Ringo Starr. Like, the vids of them playing, Ringo always looks like he's having a hell of a time and I love Yellow Submarine and Octopus's Garden always makes me laugh. Cos it's a song about an octopus. What up, Ringo. And sometimes I really hate Lennon or Paul because I read about some jerky thing they did (like the wife-beating and cheating and Hello Goodbye, no lol about that last thing) and it doesn't really look like Ringo has ever been so much of a jerk. But I do love George. I liked 'When We Was Fab' and the video which had Ringo and other people and also, was weird, and PAUL IS THE WALRUS?

I'm on Etsy, looking randomly at Beatles stuff, and FOR SOME REASON there is a belt buckle with a picture of JOHN AND YOKO WHAT THE HELLL. Srsly. A belt buckle is weird enough- but with John and YOKO on it?
Ahaha, the number of pages of Beatles stuff on Etsy is '64'. -starts to sing 'when i'm sixty--fouur'

So in something non-obsessed news, I got one of my friends to switch to Foods&Nutrition with me so I'd not be so lonely, although Blue (blue haired chick) is very nice and funny and talks a lot, like me, so she's cool, anyway, we got assigned our kitchens (they are like 8 in the back, mini-kitchens i mean small kitchens not minature stoves and sinks and etc, they are just corner-sized kitchens) We're kitchen NUMBER 5 and so we went to our kitchen, me and Blue and Heather, and I was like, 'KITCHEN NUMBER FIVE MOFOS' and ' HEY KITCHEN NUMBER THREE YOU CAN SUCK IT' and then we were opening the drawers and such and all of them were labelled, like 'silverware', 'knives', etc, etc. One of them said 'Empty.' Blue opened it and was like, dude, there is a thing in here. We collapsed in laughter, 'MY WHOLE LIFE IS A LIE' and 'I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO BELIEVE ANYMORE'. I was laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes, ahah, mrs. Romesburg came back and found us ruffling through drawers and was like, you has work to do.

Does Led Zeppelin have any songs UNDER 5 minutes? I don't think so. They're still awesome though. ANd yes. I'm listening to something other then the Beatles. There's only so many times you can listen to Lennon singing 'if I tell you that I loove you, you'll say you love me too..' because yeah I totally would. Despite the part where I guess we was totally bipolar? or something.

BEST thing on Etsy for serious: BANANAS Yeah! It is a 18"x18" painting of Paul McCartney eating a banana. It looks like the bit from the Beatles coloring book where Paul brushes his teeth (weird to put in a coloring book I know) but here he is eating a banana. It is quite possibly the awesomest thing I have seen this year and if it weren't 50 dollars I would buy it in a instant. As a smaller print, maybe. I want it as a screensaver. Or on a t-shirt. This guy needs to do that, now.

This shirt I really want: John&Paul&Ringo&George. I don't like that one there so much, the weird dot after 'George' throws me off, it's not a period but not a comma, either. And there's no AA Women's Tee. Oh, I found a Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band button. Yay! and an X-Files I Want to Believe and The Killers and the Star Wars Rebel Alliance symbol and a red/blakc pic of Jimi Hendrix button. Which I am all now buying. Ahmwahah. They're a dollar but with 3 dollars shipping cos it's from Spain. And I don't want the button that just says 'The Beatles'. Too obvious. I am actually tempted to ask this person for a custom order of just a button with a picture of Ringo on it, er, no. And there's another set of buttons I want, err, these put oh no I didn't realize it was on white, damn. omg hyperlink END
Ah alright that was close. I really want the, yeah, the J&P&R&G on a shirrt and not a button so next paycheck I'll go in for a shirt..

As a last note type of thing- I listened to Revolution 9 last night. Ohgod that was a weird song. I've been using the word 'trippy' lately but man, that went beyond trippy. 'Number nine...number nine...' It reminded me of, well, 1984. For some reason. And today in class Mr Cowdrey, my Gov. teacher, brought up 1984 and was like, 'anybody read that..anybody?' and I was like, err yeh, and after class was over he said it was cool I've read that book. I like dystopian futuristic books. Like Brave New World and to some extent, A Handmaid's Tale and there are other I can't remem-Oh! Farenheit 451. Yeah. Anyway. Woot goes live in 20 minutes so I should eat something or do my goddamned German homework.
eta: I wrote this over like a period of two hours so it's not so hot now that I post it. like it matters chya
