new things to do

So I'm gonna do NaNoWriMo, national novel writing month, and IT'SGONNABEAWESOME.
Also I was talking to a guy on the Teen chat on Ravelry, another Beatles fan like me, and he said he was learning Beatles songs on the uke. So uhm. I just ordered a ukulele. I knoww. I spend too much money. But I really wanna play music. So. That's what I'm gonna do. :D I'm excited. I bought a pretty cheap one- for 40 dollars. Right, I know. BUT. MUUUSIC. Gonna learn this thing.

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.

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.

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.

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.

the army navy store carries body bags

I know, right. Is weird.
BUT my father DID buy me boots from the Army Navy Surplus store. They are combat boots. Or, ah, Rothco Jungle Boots and they were the cheapest boots there but STIIILL. I has boots. They are badass. I love them. They need good insoles.

School in two days. ;( SAD FACE AJ.

I got my yarn for DW scarf in the mail, did I mention this? It is gorgeous. Unfortunetly, it is all in hanks and I have no ball-winder so I will have to do it all by hand. It's like 8 skeins. Grr. And my needles from Knitpicks haven't come yet. But my belts and Bowie button did. Haven't tried belts on yet (cos they're at mom's). Little Bowie button is adorab. Ooh it's little David Bowie, I said when I got it. Look at little Bowie. Belts are thinner then I expected. Hmm, thinner, I mean in width, not in like fabric-wise. If they fit well I'll order more from the site, they're quite neat. Skinnier, is what I mean.

Gah, and I ordered that 80gb iPod from the other night. Say I tell someone. 'Oh btw Mom i ordered an iPod.' 'oh really?' 'yeah it's 80gb.' 'WHAT EIGHTY?' 'yeah but see here it's actually a bit cheaper then the 8gb nano I was eyeing, seee?' 'oh alright.' So I've got that in the mail and, ah, shirt from unetee and teextile and shirt.woot. Too many shirts? NO SUCH A THING. BLASPHEMY. If Shirt.woot has randoms anytime soon I will be buying 3. Or if Teefury, too. I have not enough Teefury shirts.

What the hell Hulu. I am loading an epi of Buffy and one of Psych and they're not LOADING.

So I am going to knit socks, y'know, got a book and everything. I need uhm. Needles. For socks. Yeahh. I have yarn. Got to get needles. I'll be doing the easiest thing imaginable- Doctor Who scarf, aka garter stitch and color changing, to the hardest (or I think it is, my skill level-wise) - SOCKS.

I am bored and it seems like it should be later in the evening, prolly cos of sleeping schedule is off but I give no damns at all. hnn.

Mhm, something a bit weird happened to me today. So I wandered into St. Vinnie's, which is nextdoor to the Goodwill (across the river, anyway) and I went in to look for pants for Blake (for job interview) but I ended up buying Spider-Man shoelaces (which is a weird thing, really, because my freshman year of high school I wore Cons with Spider-Man shoelaces). Anyway. They said '80 cents' on it but they guy (cute cashier boy) only charged me 68 cents. And, he complimented my shirt. Huh. I'm checking the reciept and it says '20 % discount'. There might have been some sort of sale..

looking back, not so good

Accidentally I bought another t-shirt this morning. And by 'accidentally' I mean, WHY THE FUCK DID I and/or IT WAS ON SALE SO I HAD TO. It's City Built on Rock And Roll from Unetee, which I've wanted for a long time but was waiting to go on sale and NOW I AM DONE WITH T-SHIRTS. So things that are being shipped and really should being shipped to me: Choose Wisely from...oh, right Teextile. 3 tees (a hug is my favorite adhesive, the madness of mission 6, and west side rumble) from Threadless, Donut Panic! from shirt.woot, two belts and Bowie button from Body Punks, 52 dollars worth of yarn from Yarncountry, needles from Knitpicks, hnn...and that Unetee shirt. And I'm pondering buying Brisco County Jr. or something else Bruce Campbell.

Oh what I did that was not such a good idea was that my bike had a flat tire but I did have to go home so I walked ALL THEWAY THERE (it's like 5blocks, take about 8 minutes) in THIS HEAT (it's like 90 something and I'mwearing PANTS) and I wore my silver mocassin shoes. LIKE what. At mom's I just laid around and watched Tales from the Darkside which was cool. It's air-conditioned here, though. I got two sodas and some beef jerky at the shop at the end of the block. I'm going to add cream to them, one's orange and one's grape, and see if they taste very good.

maybe

So what I like to say is 'I'm not a [noun] but I do [verb].' Like. I'm not a artist but I do draw (badly). I'm not a singer but I sing. I'm not a writer but I write. WAIT stop on that writer one. I've always liked writing. And at most points in my life I've wanted to be a writer. Then I realized that while writing most things I was pretty bad. Things I Am Awful at Writing: Fiction, Essays, Serious Things. Things I Am Pretty Good Or Even Very Good At Writing: Non-fiction, Skewed Non-Fiction, News, Fake News, Non-Serious Things, Bad Essays. I am quite good at this fake-news thing- ala the Onion or Daily Show- and I did, for about a year, write a faux local newspaper called The Clarkston Courier for which I was quite famous for for a while. Even recently, some kids are still 'dude are you still writing that please start again'? It was weird. Oh gosh. Let me see if I can find any, my Greatest Hits as it were...err anyway. So the writing. And sometimes I get ideas I want to write or the notion of journalism but gawd I get so lazy. Anyway. All this leads to I recently had a very good idea for some sort of story and I am thinking about trying to write it, it's one of those things that gets into my head and won't get out, so I'm thinking of jotting stuff down and trying. Sort of Caroline B. Cooney-ish story, I think. I used to love her books.

AND ALSO MY AUNT IS AWESOME because today I came home from work all tiirrred and mom goes all slyly, "so your aunt called today.." and my aunt lives across the state, I haven't seen her in a year (yeah, since Kody graduated, more than a year) and so I was thinking it was something like she was coming to visit which would be awesome, but it was this "she said that you wanted to atten Clark Community College over there, you could live with her while doing so." OMG. So now I have a sort-of plan, which is to a) get a drivers license b) graduate c) attend Clark Community Colllege and get a job over there and most importantly GET OUT OF THIS ONE HORSE TOWN. Holy crap. I am not quite sure exactly what CCC teaches but the other school I was thinking about was Spokane Falls Community College and only that one because ah it had a bowling in it. Also my mom went there.

Hnn what else. Did I mention, nobody bothered to tell me and Heather that they're running out of money to pay us with and so this is our last week of work? Oh, yes. The guys who pay us, Rural Resources, (even though we work at the library) didn't tell us. But school starts in 3 weeks anyway so we'll have two weeks off before which I wanted to do anyway because I am honestly getting sick of working.

I don't really want to go back to school because mostly I am lazy and awful at school. ALSO. Sad thing. I have to get up early enough to do hair and clothes and get ready, etc, etc, so this means I will prolly NOT get to stay up late every night to watch Jimmy Fallon. I HEART JIMMY FALLON. Srsly. He's not that funny but goddamn, he tries, and his bits (sketches, skits) are funny, like Rush Limbaugh Karoake and 7th Floor West and Cell Phone Shootout and Obama Facial Expressions and oh god HEAD SWAP. On the bright side- Conan is on earlier then he was last year, so now I can watch him every night instead of Letterman who I used to watch every night. Which is probably why I failed my first hour class, since I stayed up later to watch Conan most nights. Also I love Andy Richter and Conan's not been very funny lately. Dunno why. It's not quite the same. I like Andy'll Try It and whenever his producer Jordan comes on and some other stuff but sometimes he's not very funny. Still love him though.

I am debating on whether or not to buy more shirts from Threadless. It's a sale and I REALLY like the Madness of Mission 6, a sweet Pacman-reference one, and the one that says I Liked Homework Better when It was Called Coloring. Or maybe Twenty if By Giant Robot. Which is weird and JUST MY STYLE because I hate robots but it's on dark grey I think and I don't really like dark grey but nor do I like white, which is what coloring>homework is on. Madness of Mission 6 is just pure awesome. And only 8 bucks. If I find another 8 buck one I like, maybe Magic is just stuff science hasn't made boring yet, which is purple and I has no purple shirts but I am not such a big fan of Shirts with Words since people stop you and read them and it's sort of awkward.

I'm waiting for Heather to get online so I can speak with her. WITH MAH NEW MIC for the internet speaking. Wth is she.

I've been watching this video on FunnyOrDie.com, the Ballad of GI Joe, which is hilarious and heart-breaking and awesome and now I know the whole motherfucking song because it is so awesome.
Weird thing about me: in the morning, when I am hurrying to get ready for work, I sing showtunes. Like. Into the Woods. Which is was in the junior production of in SEVENTH GRADE. I am now going into twelfth. Into the woods where nothing's clear, where witches ghosts and ghouls appear..da dada into the woods into the woods.
