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.

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

oh bollocks

Just got my two Threadless tees in the mail today. If I didn't know this before, Threadless = love. Gorgeous shirts. Love the printing. Need more. I'm debating on buying a 15 dollar one that I love and a 8 dolla one or two 8 dollar ones. Orr maybe a 10 dollar one what I did not even look at. The 15 dollar one, Twenty if By Giant Robot, is by an artist I really like, Robbie Lee, but I haven't got any of his shirts yet. It's a giant robot with the UK flag on it, and maybe that's all that needs to be said. I need it. Ergh.
Also I wanna iPod. Next paycheck I'll buy one.

pathetic

It is almost sad that while shopping for t-shirts online, I have no idea what size to get unless I compare it to shirt.woot's sizing, because I know what sizes those are.
Also I am listening to the Dr. Horrible soundtrack and I know all the words. Still. BEST thing ever. Dr. Horrible.
Yesterday, went shopping: got pants (3), sweatshirt, jacket, harry potter candy, koolaid.
Now looking online for belts and apparently buttons and Firefly t-shirts. Then I'm gonna watch Firefly. And I did not notice the Firefly/Dr. Horrible connection. Nathan Fillion is brainwashing me. I think.
I keep getting distracted. BELTS I need belts. So far I've got two in my cart (on bodypunks.com), a tiger-striped canvas one and a (oh gosh, So They Say is my favorite Dr. Horrible song. Perfect Story. or Everyone's A Hero.) black and white one. I think that's good for now. And a David Bowie button. OR TWO DAVID BOWIE BUTTONS I cannot help it, he is delicious. I want the one where he a pirate. Pirate Bowie. With a eyepatch.
I'm really awful at shopping. IRL and online. IRL I get tired and lazy and very 'meh' and online I get distracted very easily--I should buy some yarrn...NO. BELTS.
Firelfy. Hulu. Okay. Loading... God. I cry when I watch Serenity. Joss Whedon is a god. I need to watch Buffy. Yes. I've never seen Buffy the Vampire Slayer. WTF is wrong with me. Shh. I'll watch it. BUT NOW NAO
OKAY BELTS. Two belts and two David Bowie buttons. Diamond Dogs Bowie and Changes Bowie. No wait. Just DD Bowie. Okay, belts ordered. here's hoping they fit and if they don't then bodypunks has a return policy which I should've checked BEFORE ordering but whatevs.

whee

I got paid today. And then I went for coffee at the Queen Bee(or is it Bean?) anyway, they were pretty delicious. And then we went to Alive After Five! where I quickly spent money. On bows and beef jerky. Heather came round and told me of her new computer, what she bought today, it sounds might nice for 1000 dollars (I am weak-willed and myself could not spend that much money at a time) , and then she bought a reverse katana and then we went to Station 3 for food (she: cheesecake, me and mom: jojos, and blake got a burger & fries) and then I went home and tripped over a crate in the dark and slammed my knee onto the steps so now my knee hurts.
And I've just bought 3 t-shirts online. 'Choose Wisely' from teextile, which, as a child of the nineties and who actually had that game, I had to have. And from Threadless, Attack of Literacy! and THIS is how the world ends, both of which i am suddenly too lazy to link to.

We are going shopping this weekend, so I will try to get some pants and a new belt and some boots and I should be good for school, school clothes-wise, and I'll look some up online. Clothes. I want plaid pants like crazy. And sweatervests. For over-t-shirt-wearing in cold weather and general dorkiness.

I'm not writing very well right now. Knee and tiredness and fatigue from spending money.
holdohn gotta change it to Conan
I like spending money and I'm very good at it, but it feels off like I shouldn't. Which is preposterous, because I should and can and it's mine and all, I just tend to waste it very well. Like err today. Did I really need bows and hair clips? Mebbe not. Or expensive but delicious beef jerky? Also er, possibly not.

I am so very tired and hope that magically I will have tomorrow off but it is unlikely.
Oh, I need an iPod.
Things I NEED, a list
1. Pants! For wearing, school, etc, etc.
2. A belt. I love the studded one I have now but there's a slight malfunction with it, in that when I sit down in plastic chairs, the studs grate against it and it doesn't sound pleasant but it does sound like a embaressing bodily function.
3. Boots. Punk/combat boots.
4. an iPod and lotsa music on it.
5. yarn for Doctor Who scarf.

So that's mostly it. And sweatervests. I am a dork and might as well dress like it. I wear those sunglasses that clip over regular glasses, for God's sake.

spokane spokane

Back from collegy trip. Went to Whitworth Uni, which was too pretty and churchy and had too many trees and would cost too much and didn't have a Zoology program, and Spokane Falls Community College, which was clearly a Community college and my mom went there and they had Zoology and a bowling alley and then we went to Gozaga, which was cool. Cool. Just cool. I dunno if they had zoology but they had a Bing Crosby room. BING! Loves me some Bing Crosby. Even if he beat his kids. Whatever. Or, well, that's the rumor. But it's widely disputed. And talked to an ambassador from University of Phoenix which was boring and also it's all online and no Zoology. And today I was at Eastern Washington Uni, which was boring and had too many stairs and I was just so tirrred. On Tuesday...or Monday...we went to Riverfront park to see an imax moviebut half an hour late so most of group went on Skyride Gondola ride and some of us, ME!, went on Carousel, that's 100 years old, v. cool, v. fun. Went shopping, quick, at Boo Radley's (best store name ever and cool store, too) and got Pride&Prejudice&Zombies and Obamamints-Yes We Candy. Hotel was fun. Shared room with Heather. Watched TV and argued over beds-made or unmade? I was for unmade beds. Shopping at Valley Mall, was disapointed because was promised Northtown-Northtown has Barnes&Nobles and Comic Book Shop. Valley, I though, had B&N and no Comic Book Shop but turns out, Waldenbooks and Comic Book Shop. Was happy. Spent money. Got a nice yoyo at a hobby store. Huckleberry coffee. Green and orange M&Ms for Blake since couldn't find any Dolphins merchandise. Got four graphic novels- Fables v. 2, Y: The last Man v.2, Serenity 1 and 2. Should have got someting Gaiman.
Dad's getting up, maybe dinner time here's hoping.

my titles are bad

So blake did not eat all the pizza. It was in his room/ He gave it to me this morning.
Today.
- went to Goodwill, got knitting needles (even though...I don't knit, really), a book on UFOs or some sort, and sunglasses. It's crazy sunny here and I found some cheap sunglasses that fit over my regular glasses, yayy. Tried to convince my mom to buy bag of yarn. She did not fall for it.
- went to Grocery Outlet. They had Lion Brand Chenille Thick&Quick yarn for, like, 2 bucks, so mom bought that for me but now what will I do with it? Hnn.
- went to Arby's. uhmmm.
- Now I'm bored and only slightly craving social interaction. Internet is not place for it. Went to library and couldn't find any friends there. To yarn store I go. Print out pic of Zoidberg for color matching, just to check maybe not to buy.

very good

Today I went shopping with mom, returned the dress that I didn't wear, got shoes that are almost exactly like the ones I have 'cept they're a diff. color scheme and went to the Panda Express for lunch then went and saw Bride Wars which was bad but entertaining at best.

I want to rant about the Jonas Brothers but later honestly please. It's cold and I'm shaking.
