itunes will be my downfall

I know I've said it before but I'll say it again. If I use itunes too much I will have no money left. Last night I got The Who Sings My Generation. I love The Who. Right now I'm listening to The Kinks...on grooveshark. I just forgot what I was doing. That's what's with the ellipses. I like the Kinks. The British Invasion bands in general, pretty good stuff. So I'm bored. And. Yeah.

At a Halloween store last weekend, I got a pen that looks like a syringe. It is pretty nifty. So I use it in class, it's clicky and fun. Today, in English, my teacher came around to check if we did our paragraphs ('is Chaucer a feminist?' i said no) and he walks up to my desk and goes, 'AJ you have...a syringe. do you do heroin AJ? show me your arms.' so I showed him my arms and he was like, ' oh all right. let me see your paragraph. oh thank you, you're the only who agrees with me, you've just validated my existence.' I guess everyone else thought Chaucer was a feminist. I only said NOT a feminist because FEMINIST seemed to easy. Also very unlikely.

terrible thing: since a lot of kids were out of class today to take the PSAT (another terrible thing: I took the PSAT last year? and I had to take it on a Saturday morning. I CALL SHENANIGANS.) in my choir class, there was like 13 kids, so the teacher was like, yeah we're singing Imagine, which is what the jazz choir is doing. You know what ruins your favorite song? Some stupid bitches singing it like they even know the fuck who John Lennon was. One girl was like 'oh he was a Beatle'. Grrr. Yes. BUT SO MUCH MORE. A writer and peace activist and an awesome guy and an artist and genius.

Jesus, the Kinks are brilliant. I like music that makes noise. Know what I mean? Punk is good stuff. Sex Pistols and the Ramones, the Ramones, they're punk, I'm pretty sure.

It's cold here. Brr.

So here's something I want to do with my life but would never say out loud because it's ridiculous. I want to be in a band. Sort of a cover band. Here's what this band would do: we would take slow songs, err well, old songs, like take I'm a Fool to Want You. And turn it into a rock song. With electric guitars and some screaming voals. We'd also take rock songs- for something reason I think of Paint it Black when I think of doing this- and turn them into slow songs. Slow it down and croon it, like. Yeah.

Oh, it's cold and I'm shaking.

I recieved an email from the folks I ordered my shirt & buttons from last night- the transaction did not go through. Sonofabitch. I guess my debit card didn't work? but ordering from Amazon and when buying music from itunes, it works fine. WHAT. Maybe i'll just buy the John & Paul & Ringo & George one from Amazon? and a album or something, the Who's Tommy or something. Or The Who Sell Out. Er I have to clean up my Amazon wishlist anyway. Instead of writing out a Christmas list for my mom (it feels weird to do that at 18) I'll just link her to my Amazon wish list. Yah I think I'll buy this shirt from amazon, it's cheaper for one. I just really like Help! oh well.

later, 7:50: Aha, yes, gonna buy the shirt and the new Bowling For Soup album (I love Bowling For Soup. LIKE CRAZY. they are the only band who makes me laugh and can rock out. fuck and yes. and i know like all of their songs? by heart.) anyway, I dunno whether to buy a Medium or a Large shirt. Like, I know a Large will fit me, but sort of badly, so I wonder if a medium will work better? I should play it safe and stick with a large and shrink it in the wash if it's too big.

Ahh my mom caught me trying to buy things.
Then we went through this whole kerfuffle over this -but I NEED THIS SHIRT and if I buy a something worth 10 dollars, i'll get free shipping, do you need anything mom? and so she looked at proclaimers albums and then I figured out if i just bought the shirt, it would be two dollars short of if i bought a cd instead. So after much debating, bobdylanthewhoTHEBEATLES?bowiethestonesTHEWHOOOthekinkTHEWHO? i'm getting the new BFS album because uh, it's the only one that isn't already cheaper. Yeah? Okay.
