laylee on halloween::: i was  a WHORE at aschool, and iw as the only one!!!!!!!!!
it seems as though brittany has just made a feeble attempt to speak at me. she doesnt even really know why i'm upset and i really don't think she's going to figure it out. morgan said she doesnt think the friendship is going to hold out much longer.
i am mad at brittany. i wonder if anyone could tell.

my grandfather, Henry Orville Stewart, 86, has suffered a mild heart attack. and he's ok. and he's in great health, considering he hasn't been to the hospital since 1970. last year granny had a little heart trouble as well and dad thinks grandaddy is going to have another heart attack also... they are keeping him in the hospital again tonight. he's going to be fine for now.
yesterday, as i hope you know, was morgan's birthday. we went to see monsters, inc and then we went to embassy suites and spent the night. it were good times indeed. monsters inc was cute and all and i may have liked it more than shrek. too early to tell. but i dont think it will win the oscar or anything. at embassy suites we road the elevator and looked at the fishies and marvelled at our room. then morgan opened her presents and we went swimming for a while till we reeked of chlorine and were wrinkly like many prunes. we then watched part of miss congeniality in the room (good lord i am sick of that movie) and mom ordered lovely room service pizza. and i drank mug root beer. and it was good. so uhm it came eventually and we ordered moulin rouge on the hotel tv. i liked it way more than i thought i would. waaayyyy more. it was very very good. its sad that they made such a big deal out of that fucking awful song. morgan said someone should have remade 'your song' (early elton john rules) and i think that would have done quite nicely if they'd gotten the right person to do it. or.. another song.
POINT: that song that did get done was godawful.
another point was that i really liked that movie. amazing. maybe my family will buy it later. they seemed to really enjoy it.
i wonder what that guy directed besides romeo and juilet. which is lovely. and the filming was just like that, everyone being all up close and people running around all fast. and the guy who played tybalt or whoever was in there as a midget and he was my favorite. good god he was funny. i love funny little people such as that.
POINT: go see it.
i can't believe i didnt see it earlier. christen saw it five times in the theatre.
so anyway. i was QUITE tired and thereby fell asleep. oh and morgan's cake was very good. from baskin robins. a beautiful thing. mint chocolate chip ice cream pie type thing with a chocolate crust and lots and lots of whipped cream all over everywhere. mmmm and whatnot.
look i have run away with myself again! the point was that uhm. where was i. oh yeah. the next morning morgan freaking woke me up while she was trying to get the damned yet LOCKED door to our room open and failing miserably. she did not notice that the little slidie thingie was all in place and LOCKED and whatnot. so i was like 'THE LITTLE THING IS IN' and she was like 'whaaat' and i died and she died and we all died and then she got it eventually and ran around on the balcony for a while and looked at everyone eating breakfast and then she came back in and dad and mom eventually got up and we had breakfast. mine was scrambled eggs and two pieces of bacon and two glasses of apple juice. i think there was a cheerleading competition or somethin because they were all there. and uhm. yes. indeed. so then we went swimming for only a little while and we left and yeah. so we didnt really do much else.
Ladygodiva76:remember elizabeth rosen??
aLittleStarlight:

so.
i remember that there was something about an erotic dance though.

I AM EATING COUNT CHOCULA.
I LOVE COUNT CHOCULA.

i forgot to blog on tuesday that this came out. yes indeed i want it. i also want the cranberries new album, 'wake up and smell the coffee' (that phrase eternally reminds me of mrs. moore. i love you, mrs. moore!!) i am talking to nick right now and he's lovely as usual but his computer is still broken and that is very crappy. (i love you, sir nicholas!!) and uhm. not much is happening. i finished my homework. dad signed my progress report. things are happening. why am i so hungry. nick makes me hungry. it's all his fault. it's always his fault. i asked mom to buy some boo berry or count chocula, since there is apparently a revival and brittany and i ate them at her house last weekend. dad denies having ever bought it in the first place but i swear he did!!! i think i have to publish the archives and heal them and uhm. i'm gonna go now.
Atea Diosa:i have no caffine in my system thats horrble

Atea Diosa:i kinda feel like being productive and making websites and just working my ass off tonight
Atea Diosa:
brb i gotta pee
do you know how entertaining watching a washing machine can be?
i kept looking up to check it, so as to know when to put the detergent in and see if it was done and so on and so forth... and then i couldnt look back down.
suds are amazing creatures.
morgan and i had to hang out at the laundromat today because it was required in the chores or else i couldnt have brittany over. as things go, brittany didnt want to come over anyway so basically all that happened was that i got a little reading done.
last night the family and i went to davis-kidd for dinner and uhm. a bookie. 0r something. but the point is that i skipped the football game so i didnt have to march about and smash the cymbals. i met someone AGAIN. it seems that everyone was there, as they were having a 20% off sale. this girl... i dont remember how to spell her name.... rikelle??? x_x no idea. the point is that she and her friend were talking and i was looking at books and she was very familiar and she asked me if she knew me and i looked very familiar and i said yeah so do you and did you go to lindenwood? and yeah and she goes to IC also and she told me that the girl, shelia, whom i met on sunday, is not a very nice person even though she still does have good taste in books. so i had. i cant remember. food. at bronte. yes. so uhm. i ended up buying witches and wizards of oberin and black mirror and the hanged man and put me in a deliriously good mood!!! oh and we also got SECRET birthday presents for morgan and i cant tell you what they are yet because its TOTALLY SECRET!!! right-o so i read witches&wizards last night, since its a picture book and all it didnt take so long. i liked it more than i thought i would.

p.s. go email morgan and wish her a happy birthday. i promise i wont let her see it until next saturday, november 3, birthday of a genius.

aLittleStarlight:i'm eating a biscuit
aLittleStarlight:
it tastes funny
hoy bofe:
maybe you should cook it

do you remember dan from the 'ecstatic disco nights' play thing? i jolly well hope you do because he has come up again. he and christen foehring, who drives me to school every day, are in this christian youth choir thingie which got a new director a couple weeks ago, like right after the play ended. and this new evil choir director woman kicked him out of the choir because he's gay.
i hate people. especially memphians. we really, truly suck. if ever you meet a memphian, run away. as a matter of fact, if you meet any southerner, run away.
the point is that christen and her choir buddies organized this big whole thing with petitions and things and if they dont let him back in the choir, they're gonna drop out. more development on this later, if i remember to ask christen.

the new cranberries album came out two days ago. i want it.

aLittleStarlight:she was wearing a switchblade symphony shirt
Atea Diosa:
yes she was
aLittleStarlight:
that says a lot about a person
aLittleStarlight:
besdies that they look like the potato famine

once upon a time i was at borders and this girl picked up troy by adele geras and i says to her i says 'thats a really great author' and she looked at me kinda funny and read the blurb and put it back and i was like, in my head anyway, 'your loss!' but i tried again on sunday there was another girl in the YA section at borders standing in the exact same spot, holding into the cold fire by lynne ewing and she picked up on the bright side i'm now the girlfriend of a sex god by louise rennison and anyway so i says to this girl i says 'thats a really funny author' and she actually SAID something, and as it just so happens, i can't remember what it was so i told her that it was the sequel and she goes 'yeah something about.... thongs?' and i went 'yes thats the one!' or something dumber but then we sort of turned back to our own respective shelves and she asked me a few moments later if i had read any klause and i went yes! yes! and we talked about her for a minute but she hasnt read alien secrets and then we walked around and i recommended things and she pointed out things and i went 'oh i've read that' repeatedly and we actually ended up talking about daughters of the moon for a few moments too. then on display there was a little sign that said something like... 'with a twist of the supernatural' and shattered mirror by amelia atwater-rhodes and echo by francesca lia block and witches and wizards of oberin by suza scalora were on display which REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY bothered me. a whole fucking lot. i cannot express how much that bothered me. go read the books, theyre all really short and suza scalora's are all photography books, so seriously just go read them and then tell me if that display name does not seriously bother you as well. anyway. the girl, shelia was her name, told me she had actually been looking for suza scalora's first book the fairies which is mighty good and brittany says she likes the pictures in that one better than the new one, but as i have only examined the new one once, and flipped through it on another occasion, i really can't tell yet. so as it wasnt with the new scalora books, which are in the YA section(?!?!?!) we looked in the picture books and couldnt find it so i would have suggested sci-fi/fantasy but her mother came and whisked her away. but it was nice to recommend things to people even if they wont remember. and even if they do go to IC.

Love Song For the Drummer by Dot Antoniades


He was chocolatemahoganybrownbrickred
several shades of Indian earth blended
no lines
creaseless
Symmetry danced in his veins
my inner sonata silenced
I became 1 movement
fluid
blushing beige at the thought of him in his boyhood
palms down
panting the vulnerability out of me
vulgar ability I have
to fantasize myself into his country
without knowing anything except
percussion turns me on
But it wasn’t about him
it was the song
La musica beating me ceaseless
senseless

I am young
so young
yet
have old eyes
a stolen soul
I steal souls
but viscerally speaking
my tummy doesn’t tumblesaul when I see him
But when I hear him
my spirit sambas uncontrollably
as if La Mariachi
were plucking steel
string
sinews inside me
Barely breathing
percussion rushing thru me
I could see nothing
I was surrounded by sound
panties stained a deeper shade of clay
as the rhythm made its home between my legs
hatching sunsets
a warmth only I was aware of

His spirit:  soft blunted blade
entering through my exit
I thought I had been spade
reinvented manmade
Music
I want you to lay
in the soft shell cave of my thighs
fill the echoes
make me come legato
because my poems have been plosive
too macho
Raise me 12 notes higher
sweaty palms ride me bareback
give phoenix her flames back
fan the silent valley under her wings
let her sing
until they cut out her tongue
or
the nightingale gets jealous
Wake Calliope
There’s salsa on the glossy cedar dance floor
now that I’ve drank the last drop I want more

I want to know
how bodies moved
in the first shadow of night
before the lights came on
and we saw
and were shamed
cos we felt so good
for our own sake
I want musica keeping my shoulders strong
womb thumping birth of bass
immaculate
no blueprint
to the submission into mass movement
I do not want to merely reflect
He was musician
I was nothing but me listening
trying to tear the atmosphere desperately
because gravity distracts me
keeps me from myself
I swore his eyes were not jewels.
They were dark
rich like chocolate
bigger than Guatemala
They knew things I wanted to know

That night I believed
I believed
Religion escaped me
faith became me
Alone
I dropped to my knees
humbled
and samba’d myself to sleep

try to shut me upi am home sick today. yes indeed i am. i dont feel very good and i should be reading 'wuthering heights' right now but i am really really not in the mood. i should maybe eat something. my fingers are cold. i was making a patti smith tape for brittany and i intended to finish but mom put all the records someplace i dont know. so i found a lene lovitch record and listened to a couple of her songs because mom is always saying that she sounds like people i listen to today even though the album came out in 79 and i discovered shes the one who sings 'i think we're alone now'
btw the picture is of kim gordon from sonic youth. if its the purple one with the quote about joni mitchell i suggest you refresh the page because i like the red and orange ones better.
p.s. i added two new mp3s yesterday but be careful because sometimes they do not like to cooperate.

try to shut me up


put rockstar shut-me-ups on your own page!

except not really because she's not dead!! again, the point of this quiz was really dumb but i liked taking it just because i did. and morgan and brittany got her too. so we were ALL this woman who is not dead yet.
after you take the test, it says:: "You were Adalita Srsen in a past life! Music is in your blood and you love nothing more than to be onstage in a small club with an appreciative crowd pumping out music in true punk-rock style. You love supporting causes you feel strongly about, which reflects in your songwriting. You also have a huge soft spot for our furry friends!"
about adalita it says:: "Being the female guitarist, lyricist and sultry lead singer in Australian band Magic Dirt, has elevated Adalita (her last name was Srsen but she has dropped it) to cult status within Australia.Magic Dirt were formed in Geelong, Victoria in 1992. ....live shows saw Adalita belting out riffs on the guitar with passion and intensity. In 1995 Magic Dirt supported Hole at some of the shows during their Australian tour, which gained the band more popularity. In 2001 Magic Dirt are touring to promote their new album "What Are Rockstars Doing Today?" Aside from being a great guitarist and a role model for guitar-playing girls all over Australia, Adalita is also a strong supporter of animal rights and is a member of the World Society of the Protection of Animals. She has also been involved in petitions against animal cruelty."
and the point is that magic dirt is a very cool band according to brittany.
i have not had the privilege of hearing them yet.

god damn. bloggerbot signed off again. well i dont blame it, with a warn of 96% and all. but it's highly annoying. so this weekend.
i guess no one knew but morgan and dad were in a play. actually i haven't had a chance to say anything about the plays they've been in, considering this is their first one of the season and the first one since my blog began. i don't really think i've taken the time to say ANYTHING about it which is really very rude of me. let me try to think of something important to say.
.......
once upon a time a year ago my sister and i were manually and brutally forced to attend this thing one saturday called COMMON GROUND. yes so there we met people. namely. zak (who i discovered goes to my school) and zoë (who i was paired up with when i wasnt allowed to pair with morgan because kimberly instructor lady knows us). yes so the point is i was terrified at the idea of COMMON GROUND, but morgan was very. not. right so i ceased showing up but she kept going. and then she got dad to go to the adult one. which i think he highly enjoyed. suddenly i can't remember much of what the actual COMMON GROUND play was like but thats ok for the moment i'm thinking. i remember that. khy said 'i am chocolate' and i liked that part. so they reeealllly liked doing it, my family did and i really liked watching them. i think i went to the show once or twice, and one time i sat with christen foehring and her friends next to a fellow named... Dan. (please remember that for later) the point is that it was a nice show and they really enjoyed it and so when it came time for auditions for the troupe's next show which was called 'ephemera' in which dad played a very important role, as the 'audience'. it was a play within a play so like he and sarah played the audience for this other play. and it was all the regulars. the troupe, our own voice. and i met all these wonderfully cool people in the troupe such as sarah, khy, john, sonja, alex, claire, melody, randy, chuck, bill, andy, bennett, oh my god the list goes on forever! so after 'common ground' and 'ephemera' there was... 'experimental movement' which is hte first one brittany saw. and then 'santa claus/spurt of blood' which was two different plays. and brittany helped me pass out programs on that one and the last day of it i had to watch the house which means taking up money and getting people drinks and programs and things. oh and somewhere along the line morgan and dad were made an official part of the troupe but not liek with a date or anything. suddenly they were just. in. and morgan told me all about everyone and it was really personal i think for me. almost like actually being in the show without the awkward acting bit. and then theres the dancing of course. which brings me round to the latest (first) show, of the new season, signifying morgan and dad's one year alliance with the company. indeed. so this show was a 'play' which is what everyone in the damn thing was calling it even though someone there described it as. uhm.... a 'disco musical.' there was no dialogue except for the small portion of dj talk between songs, written by randy who is mentally ill so it was amazingly cool sounding and only parts of it made sense. everyone had characters but we didnt really know much about them and we just had to make things up about them from their style of dancing and things. i think it really had to do with expression through dance of course. yeah so my dad and this guy john had characters based on steve martin and dan akryod's characters in some early snl episodes. you know. the czechoslovakian brothers. the two wild and crazy brothers. you remember them. i know you do. don't deny it. bitch. yeah so that was my dad and john. they were great. GREAT. and dad makes THE funniest faces whilst he dances. we cracked up through the whole damn thing. and these gay guys brad and dan were in it with zak as the uh. boy band. (justin, nick, and nigel) BOYS IN THE SINK!! alkhsdglkha they were hilarious and they had these great outrageous costumes. we screamed for them during their solo dance thingie. and saturday (last night) brittany made posters and we held them up and screamed and ohhh my god it was the best. morgan is the most adorable thing alive. i can't think of anything more to say and i'm very very very tired so goodnight all youse guys out there in blogland. or something.
alanna: *asks morgan an opinionated question*
morgan: *gives a random answer*
alanna: seriously?
morgan: no. i'm just guessing.
i'm now composing a post about the play. please be patient with me. it's in the process of being completed.
anyway where was i on the hair story. oh right. so uhm i was sitting there after my hair was done while mom got hers hacked away and i looked at these ancient hair style book thingies. you know the ones. unless they somehow only exist in memphis.
i have never gotten my hair cut out of town. amazing.
point being that there were many mullets
OH MY GOD I POSTED FROM BLOGGER BOT. THE DAMN FELLOW KEEPS SIGNING OFF

Saturday, October 13, 2001

today i got my hair cut. it was raining, as mom loves get her hair cut on a rainy day. even though it doesnt look so nice for as long because you have to go into the rain when you leave. anyway.
the lady who did it was the same lady as last time. (last time= june 14, before we went to san francisco.) so the lady kept telling me that she couldnt believe my hair had grown so much. and then she kept telling me how thick it was and so on and so forth. she hums along to all the songs on the radio and she doesnt make me say much of anything and i like her. she didn't cut it as short as last time and i keep thinking that i look younger than i am.
the lady parted it on the side and put little pins up in it and made it twist around in some terrifying way to keep it out of my eyes. i dont do anything to it usually so after i take it out i dont intend to do anything like that to it again. we're going to peabody place for the first time later, and we're probably gonna see a movie (?)
i want to see if tower records has the new leona naess cd, seeing as no one else does.
i have never been to tower records before.
the point is.
that i will blog later. dad is being a bitch.

Wednesday, October 10, 2001

leona naess's new album came out yesterday. i didnt post about it then, though, because 1. i didn't really have the time and 2. i didnt even actually think about it and 3. amazon.com didnt even have the picture of the album cover up!
yes so that's quite sad.
i think that this album is gonna be much more poppy than her last one... morgan and i listened to a couple of the songs on her web site and i liked them but i get the feeling that it wont be as good. or maybe that's just because i bought garbage last week and it wasn't as good..... i don't know. bjork was wonderful wonderful so maybe this will be just as wonderful wonderful has her last album. which was truly wonderful wonderful. it's one of the only cds i own that could even be considered for classification under 'pop' even though it's not like.. radio pop i guess. not like sticky sugar-coated terrifying teenybopper pop. its just atmospherical pop. and quite lovely at that. and not all of the songs are even poppish i guess and the lyrics are beautiful. leona naess is a poet.
and i read somewhere that she's also a calvin klein model and that's why they put huge pictures of her face on her albums.
i also read that she refused to do a jeans ad wearing a bra like they wanted her to and instead she wore some huge men's shirt thing.
she's quite cool you know.

well THAT certainly took long enough.

ughhh i'm trying to do my homework and its really really really not going well..... *dies*
::::laylee on september 22 before we went bowling the other day::::
"kyle has a pond AND a pool. and theyre really pretty. sucha pretty house. what a bastard."
i feel that i am becoming influental musically again. on a very small scale.
i got katherine dohan to download 'all hands on the bad one' by sleater-kinney. *so go get it.* and then she asked me about buying a cd.
and this isnt as big, but i brought the new garbage cd in christen's car this morning when she drove me to school and i'm supposed to burn a copy for her, and i figure you know it can be a regular thing if i brought cds sometimes. and like. totally attack her. fun day! i want to bring s-k tomorrow now.
i listened to the first part of the garbage cd yesterday and i didnt like it very much but then i listened to some more of it, the middle/second half part of it and i liked it more. there were more classic garbage elements, which had been lacking in the first part. so then we listened to it in the car this morning and the beginning grew on me a bit even if it's not what you'd expect from them. i mean that IS the point and everything obviously but like... i mean.. musically. like the lyrics and the melodies weren't as good as the standards i've set for the band.

THIS PAGE IS HILARIOUS GHAHGAH you must go. its soooo funny in a really crappy way. brittany and i were uhm. 'discussing' it last night....

aLittleStarlight: http://www.gurlpages.com/contradictory/index.htm <- page that looks funny but is blinding me
Atea Diosa: hey sweet look at the little thingie at the bottom
Atea Diosa: *goes about reading rants*
aLittleStarlight: lol
aLittleStarlight: is it not blinding you
Atea Diosa: either they have really bad typing skills
Atea Diosa: or they have really bad grammar
Atea Diosa: and worse spelling than i
Atea Diosa: "this is why i think aborton shold bv etotaly made ilegal in every country of the world except mabe those realy bad countries were they suck and all. not like america which is obvously the best and most i,mpotant place to liv. "
Atea Diosa: O_O

aLittleStarlight: i read the first poem and it was boring so i'm not gonna read any of the others
Atea Diosa: and her spelling/typing is driving me crazy
Atea Diosa: its worse than mine.
aLittleStarlight: maybe she just thinks that since she's so superior to everyone else that she should just automatically think differently and she shouldnt have to state her opinion. she's DIFFERENT. should'nt it be OBVIOUS?
Atea Diosa: "i am DEEPLY involved with anthing that has to do with being different cuz as you know, i am so different from anyone els in the world (you can see that in my poemss)). but homosexuality is like, so wrong. ill tell you"
aLittleStarlight: see that!!

aLittleStarlight: *rolls away*
Atea Diosa: omg *reads her poem*
Atea Diosa: *dies*
Atea Diosa: i wonder if this is a joke site
aLittleStarlight: "you know i would understnd if it wasn't a choice (YES it is a choice, deal with it, its a sickness that makes them chooose too be lke that)" i really dont think she gets it that people DONT chose to be like that
aLittleStarlight: and just because you dont get aids just by being gay
aLittleStarlight: "thee most emportant thingin thee world"

today the garbage album came out. i really want this and kristin hersh at the moment because this weekend i bought tuscadero's 'pink album' from 94 and ani difranco's debut album from 1990. it makes me happy.
so i'm going to try to get dad to take me to cd warehouse after school tomorrow because i KNOW they have kristin hersh which is impossibly great considering no one else does and they'll probably have garbage because they have some new albums and whatnot. did you know that shirley manson chopped all her hair off? i did not but she wason the cover of cosmogirl. just ask laylee. yeah so uhm. i just took this weird thing.

i liked reading the answer just because it was musicalness but i didnt like the whole boyfriend idea or anything. but whatever.
or maybe its just because thom yorke is like a thousand years older than me. ahahahh maybe not.
i'm going to run away now.
i'm talking to nick and laylee and katie, and brittany is talking to katie so it's lovely.
except that aj left.
he didn't even say goodbye to me either!

dirty boy.

the other day frankie and i were waiting for her mom to come pick us up and this car was at the red light stopped and whatnot and it was one of those little putt-putting cars. yeah you know the ones. except that it was like red and blue painted and there was this huge fake leanie-over can-shaped fiend on the back that said 'RED BULL' on it and then you realized the whole CAR said 'RED BULL' on it and there were these two people in it and they started waving drastically at us and frankie said they were holding red bull can things themselves but i didnt see that so we waved drastically back at them. and then i looked at frankie and we talked for like two seconds and then looked back out at the street and they were still there and they waved and we waved and it was rather amusing.
then frankie's mom was driving us home, and we passed starbucks and sitting there in the parking lot was the goddamn RED BULL car and i went LKAHSDGOIELKASHDLG and i fell into the window and practically out of the car.
Laylee2000: where are oyu you filthy skank whore??

Auto response from aLittleStarlight:
aLittleStarlight: buying tomatoes
Laylee2000: HAHAh

i had a terrible headache earlier at rite aid while i was buying a folder for my health project and then i came home and cleaned out the catboxes and started talking to nick and my headache went away. and then i talked to nick for forever and worked on my health report and after a while nick went away and my headache took the oppurtunity to come back. i finished the health thing... it was a report on manic-depressive disorder for your information. yeah and in a moment i'm gonna have to write a crappy poem for english class with only actions about "someone i admire" and i dont even know who that is yet. probably morgan becase she does so much. right now i am eating plain spaghetti noodles with nothing on them and i'm about to die but i want some ice cream.

Thursday, September 27, 2001

laylee has the best way of saying swear. go ask her.
brittany needs to learn how to drive and i get to be in the car and listen to disney music and i am so special and laylee has the best laugh. i am a rapid cheetah.
laylee is going out with kyle and she's on the phone right now with me and she wants me to say so and that its rumored that he's a rapist or something and he wants to take her to rocky horror and he will dress her up as dr. frankenfurter and you know. and i'm supposed to go to wild oats and harass arman now

I AM TOKUGAWA IEYASU
the pictures you see right there, the four different ones, are the covers you can buy for the album. there's four. yeah. you can count. i know you can. right. so i convinced morgan to buy this on tuesday. but she was at rehearsal and so dad went out and purchased it with her money. and he didn't know there were multiple covers and i forgot to tell him so he got the one where she has short black hair.
dad's logic: he didn't think morgan would want one where she had long blond hair, and he didnt want her to have the smoking one. he's dad. gee. what can we say. and then he figured short dark hair was safe since morgan likes and has short dark hair. as do i.
and anyway i was gonna talk about all this in tuesday's post but you'll notice that tuesday's post is nonexistant because i am a lazy bum.
anyway.
i have been talking to nick all afternoon and that puts me in a very good mood and this cd was lovely. my mom HATES the cover of 'heart of gold' the neil young song. because tori changes it a lot. which is the whole point. the whole album is covers. it's really interesting though. and then in like the photographs in the album she's portraying the women in the songs... and all the songs were originally by men. so she's covering stuff like the beatles and eminem. she doesn't rap though thank god. it's spoken word. oh and it's really really eerie how she does it. its the song '97 bonnie & clyde and i have heard the original but i love tori's version because it's so terrifying. shudderworthy and chillful as i've been coming to call it these past couple days. so uhm. you guys should definitely check it out. tori is great. even though we only have four of her albums. i still want brittany's mom to drag us to nashville hashville or get my mom to take us to another show... she's supposed to be great live of course and i saw her on regis today and she said she's just gonna be touring with her piano and 'a couple vintage keyboards' and that's how people usually like to see her. its how she started and everything. like ani difranco on the stage with just her guitar. but now she's got a band and everything and i love her expansion in music but anyway. i'm gonna go now.

this album comes out today and i really want to get it. i am gonna try to convince dad to take me.
what is that great fiend on her back. is she supposed to be nude?
ahem.
on to other things.
as we all know, today two planes crashed into the world trade center, and another into the pentagon. i will not bore you with the story you have already heard.
what i mostly thought about today:
1. all the people ("casualties")
2. vulnerability
3. what this day will be made into. if the history books will mark september 11 as the start of a war or what.
4. i hate retaliation.
5. our president is disturbed.

bjork's new album came out a few days ago.. i cannot wait to buy it. the cover is absolutely GORGEOUS and i just watched the video for the song "hidden place" and it was lovely and at this very moment i am listening to the mp3 for the song "verandi" which isn't actually on the album but that's not the point. it has to do with vibes and atmosphere and whatnot. and its delicious. and i had absolutely no idea that bjork had a book. if i could make layouts i would make a bjork layout. maybe i will put a picture of her in place of that faery and just change the background colors. i can do that much. and i just clicked a link that will show me tour dates for bjork and everyone cross your fingers that she's coming someplace close.... aaaaaaaaand...... she's not. damn. wow what a very short, selective tour! there's more dates in other countries than there are here. and when she comes to the U.S. she's playing new york twice, california twice, chicago, and... boston? god damn. ah well. so much for that. i wish i could at least go to see tori.... BRITTANY PLEASE TAKE ME! uhm my mom is making me go outside.

MY FATHER IS SINGING LITTLE DISCO SONGS AND I AM TERRIFIED.
i've decided to say that i used to love this pet store, ruby begonia's. and i can't find a site for it, so bare with me. the point being that i used to love that store.
but a couple college guys bought it. and i think they went out of business. and when they did. they left town.
leaving all the animals locked up inside the store to die.
cooper has got to be the best street in memphis.
i've just been informed that not everyone knows about the peabody ducks. well.
they're ducks.
that live at the peabody hotel.
and every day they come down the elevator and walk down the red carpet and go into the little fountain in the lobby.
those. are the peabody ducks.

they even have a children's book about them.
what's with this place?
i had been looking for the peabody place site to link to the thing in that last post and i found this and figured it was good enough even though its fairly annoying.

"Strategic location

Peabody Place is at the heart of a vibrant metropolitan area with 1.1 million residents. In addition, the city welcomes 8 million visitors a year, who spend $2 billion during their stay. "

that's actually amazingly annoying because its like someone from memphis didn't write it. no way in hell are these freaks gonna convince me that downtown is randomly the heart of the area. thats fucking midtown for god's sake. we're the ones who have everything good, anyway!!
but did you know that the peabody hotel is the coolest place ever and my friend had a birthday party there in the first grade and we woke up and got to watch the ducks? that was really cool. and of course for years we took field trips down there to watch the ducks and they even took us out on the roof too. it was really cool.
i went to bed at like a quarter to three last night ("quarter to three" by sleater-kinney. go download it. a great song.) and you'll notice that i am awaking at fucking 10am. i actually woke up like an hour or so ago and i was just laying in the bed listening to, of all things, sleater-kinney. and then the cd was over and i hadn't fallen back asleep so i got up and came online and then i was randomly really tired so i went and got back in bed and i didn't fall asleep so here i am again.
for everyone's information BRITTANY'S PHONE IS DISCONNECTED SHE CANNOT GET ONLINE OR CALL ANYONE PLEASE STOP ASKING ME.
she's actually supposed to come over today. last night she called me on her mom's cell phone and we just talked a while and its like '... you wanna do somethin tomorrow?' 'sure.' 'what' 'i dunno' and whatnot and we thought it'd be really cool to go down to peabody place which is this new thing downtown sorta like a mall. judith (my mom's librarian friend who reminds me of the library chicken and drinks a latte) said it was terrible. but i think she only went in the movie theatre part. she said it looked really dumb cuz its like a train station motif and that its been said to have great like uhm... i dunno. sound or whatever in there but she just said that it was really loud and every noise becomes really really loud. and then we were driving past it, mom and morgan and kimberly and i, when we were coming back from tap dogs, (see post from august 20) and i was like 'theres that place' and someone mentioned how judith said it was awful and kimberly said that 'its very new york. not memphis at all.' and brittany's friends have apparently said good things about it. oh and katherine dohan said that the movie theatre there was annoying because they have like 22 screens but they only show like... 6 different movies or something. but we haven't actually been yet. i think it'd be kinda interesting. but ANYWAY the point is that dad said he wasn't gonna leave us someplace he hadn't actually been to yet and that's really annoying but uhm the point is brittany's still supposed to come over and bring movies and we can sit around and be junkies instead of shoppers. as if we have any money. oh and by the way, i bought 'rid of me' by pj harvey last night and i've decided i need an mp3 of her on this place. someone remind me later.

today didn't go well and when i got home to take my shower, i discovered that one of the dogs or cats or someone had gotten into the trash in the bathroom and spilled the contests everywhere even though the trash can was still upright and it was really gross because they'd like eaten up .. stuff and it was all over the floor and.. ghekla blegh.

Wednesday, August 29, 2001

so today. yes. today.
so believe me it began terribly. i had forgotten my oboe at school yesterday, which is deliriously stupid and i'd left it in science... probably. oh well homeroom was really funny actually. haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa now that i think about it. this really frightening guy who had, the year before, supposedly stalked this girl i know and the funniness involved him (i think his name is ... nathan?) and davida and this will be my third year taking band with her. she's very funny and she's got this huge giggle. and nathan's like a year older than everyone else in homeroom but he didn't feel like changing schedules so he's in that one. but oh well. anyway.... i decided it wouldn't be funny to transcribe it. just imagine it. davida, nathan, and hot pink toenails.
see. it would've crashed and burned. but uh in other news.... *cough cough*
ok so the day wasn't going well and i was heading for band and christen foehring. dammit. i realised i never blogged about that. oh well. i DID say that she basically adopted me but when she called a couple weeks ago, she said she could talk to her friend on the tech play crew thingie and get me on there and i was like 'oh that's cool' and i had no fucking idea what they did.
and then today there was an announcement that the school's gonna do a play of 'ten little indians' by agatha christie and i just remembered that tech thing and christen caught me in the hallway on my way to band.
christen: alanna.
alanna: hi
christen: take this
alanna: ok? *takes note thingie*
and i walked all the way to band which is very far away and squished this teeny note in my palm and upon my arrival i thereby read the following:::
Alanna-
Hey girl! I don't know if you got my email Monday night but there is a tech meeting after school today that is very important. It won't be long - but if you go, my friend Frix can get you on stage crew. The meeting is either on stage in the auditorium or Mrs reagon's room. I'd be glad to walk you there. So, please find me @ lunch. Ishould be in the cafeteria at a table near the windows. Frix already knows you are coming to he'll be looking for you. See you at lunch &amp; we can make plans, ok?
<3 ya,
Christen

so i was like ghlKSDHLKSeoiKS LDGKALHGKK dksldkghlahsk dOIEKskdgak and you know i have never done anything extracurricular except for uhm advanced recorder in the sixth grade. yay for that. only not really. but anyway i showed it to katherine and she was like 'ohh that would be so cool' and i'm like 'WHAT THE FUCK DOES TECH CREW DO' and she had no idea but we decided to go find christen together at lunch. so band went by and i didn't play and mr. snell didn't act mad, as usual, and he didn't act anything and i don't like him at all. and then some. so after band katherine and i went to english and i did not have a good time because we're supposed to be writing these poem thingies with word and picture clippings from magazines and i just don't like it. because its like we're aiming to win the stupid contest and the point is just to win the stupid contest and i hate it and i hate anything like that and i don't like ms. kitts. but anyway. so then we went to lunch and as usual katherine and i were the first people in the cafeteria because ms. kitts's classroom is in the elementary building and there's not a bell or anything there so she just sends us out whenever but anyway. katherine was like 'i'm supposed to go to my locker' and she left and i sat there and everyone came minus katherine and i went alsdkghlKHDLAHLDHklhalksdhg and i didn't wanna go talk to christen alone with all her intimidating older friends and whatnot. so i waited 3270589205982 years for katherine even though i only got half of my bagel eaten and then she appeared and apparently her locker was jammed but we went to find christen anyway and she looked uhm...... 'engaged' when we got there so we just sort of stood there and looked around and whatnot until she addressed our presence. but uhm so anyway she is really in charge of things and she made all the plans and all i had to do was answer questions and do what she told me. so i went to call my mom and katherine and jackie, who she shares a locker with, went to work that out i guess. and then i had to wait FOREVER to use the phone and some girl talked to her boyfriend and some guy spent like t23y0537295808392508 years talking to who the hell knows. but anyway. by the time i finally got to the phone the bell was ringing i called my dad and talked to him like five seconds. but anyway. the rest of the day went by normally so i don't have to talk about that. but uhm anyway. i DID find my oboe in science though. and we got two new students in class. but anyway. i met christen by her locker and some other guy and i got introduced to him and i was carrying like 320583209 things but i shook his hand anyway and it was terrifying. and then we went down the stairs and walked outside and back to the main building and so on and so forth and suddenly we were there and i went X_X and christen practically pushed me through the door and i'm like 'LASKHDGL;AKHDL;ASDH'
christen: see that girl in black over there
alanna: no
christen: .... KIM!! KIIIIIIIIMMMMM!!! [<- the loudest thing ever]
everyone in the room: .......
alanna: O_O
christen: KIM!!!!
kim: *finally comes over*
christen: ok kim this is alanna.
kim: hi alanna
alanna: hi
christen: and you're supposed to introduce her to Frix and uhm take care of her.
alanna: *eternal nervousness*
kim: ok what was the name again. i'm like *crazy motion thingies*
christen: alanna.
kim: alanna. right. ok.
and then christen disappeared from existence and we walked in and i got introduced to frix who looked at me as though i was a squashed roach and then i saw that this girl cece was there who i've known a while and i'm not sure if she knew exactly what 'TECH CREW' meant either but uhm so we stood around and signed our names on this little piece of paper and everyone else was older than us and katherine hadn't shown up and everyone was just hanging out and being goofy and uhm anyway. so then frix said that not everyone was gonna actually be on the stage crew for this play, but that we could try again later, etc. etc. and he said he would post whoever 'got in' on the bulletin board and whatnot and then he asked if so-and-so had any words to say and she stood on this 'soapbox' thing just to look really cool or something and she didnt have anything to say and then he asked did laura have anything to say? and she asked to stand on the soapbox and no she couldnt because the other girl wouldn't get off and then uhm she just said that 'TECH THIS YEAR IS GONNA FUCKING RULE' and 'sorry mrs. reagan' and then we sort of milled out and then suddenly there was katherine and she said she didn't even wanna do it and like thirty minutes later i realised that i'd been like ASSURED a spot on the fucking thing and i didn't really like that but i wouldn't have tried to do it again i think. i'm not determined or anything. but anyway. it would be more comforting if i wasn't on it. so anyway we left and i was walking along and i heard this voice behind me go 'did you make tech?' and i turned around and it was christen's friend and i think his name was chris or something but it was the one whose hand i shook and i told him 'i don't know.. we just sorta signed our names and left' and he went 'well good luck' and ran away and then i went home. and uhm that was my day.

i took a shower a few minutes ago and i am wet and hungry. god damn. my backpack is like 50 pounds and we don't have lockers yet and i have to lug every single thing i own around in it. its terrifying. my algebra book won't even fit in there. things are crappy. school is slow and still sucks but we don't have as much homework as last year. at least not yet.

PoGiBoY182: HAhAhAHAHA
PoGiBoY182: i remember my cat had the same problem
ok i have decided to caputure the whole of wednesday night right here. in this very blog.
*blog blog blog*
i'm trying to think where to begin. which would be like 5032958732057 months ago when i was watching mtv2 and they showed a little tour thingie and it was all like 'pete yorn (with ours)' nesses. (btw i'd seen the ours video several times and i thought the song was really cool and i liked the way the video was done) so i was like 'wow that sure is cool i wonder if he's coming anywhere near this vicinity' but mtv2 can sure be a bitch and they were like scrolling the stuff really really fast but my mom was like 'look nashville' and i went, in my little head, 'oh wow maybe i can make mom drive us' because i'd seen the video like three times and i loved it to death and brittany had seen it once but you know if i'd mentioned that to her that very day she wouldn't have remembered who he was or anything. and THEN mom was like 'look he's coming to memphis' and i went, out loudnesses, 'OMG REALLY....' and he was apparently playing newby's which i knew nothing about except for the name because its apparently a really cool place to go. the radio says so. ahahha never listen to those bastards. so i KEPT FORGETTING to tell brittany as it was. one day laylee was like 'incubus isn't coming to memphis.' and it was a sad sad day except that i remembered and i went 'BUT PETE YORN IS!!' which kicked so much ass because by that point i'd seen the video like.... seven times. even though it was just the IDEA of pete yorn coming to memphis that was so unbearably cool. NO one comes to memphis. therefore, pete yorn kicks ass!!!!!! which we all knew. i mean i didn't actually think i'd get to go. especially since that he was coming on a date after school started. even though it would be a lovely lovely name to add to my 'first five concerts' list. which, for your information, continues thus far:::
1) garrison starr
2) collective soul
3) bruce springstien
4) ani difranco
5) guess who this would be
even though i don't really start counting until 4. garrison starr was back in like..... 1990 and i don't remember it very well. so it was after that but that's not the point. it was more like.... 199...3 or 4 or 5 or i have no fucking idea don't ask me such complicated questions. and collective soul was an opening act for widespread panic and they did about five songs which i didn't know but like one and i couldn't even see. and bruce springstien, i was manually FORCED to go to that. it was a terrible night. and of course NO ONE TOLD ME THAT HE DOES 2 HOUR ENCORES....... i could die. but ani was great even though there was larry. WHO WON THE GAME.
so anyway laylee apparently hadn't heard pete yorn's single, "life on a chain." (<- look at this i'm practicing grammar) though i must say, later, when she finally heard a song she HATED it and she's calling him a woman! soooo where was i. anyway. i FINALLY remembered to tell brittany and this was like a month later, mind you. like early july i think. and brittany was basically like 'who' except that maybe she remembered him. that's completely and utterly beside the point. the point is that everyone loves pete yorn. well you better. but other than that, the point was, that after long hours of searching, we discovered that newby's was a bar and you could only get in if you were 18+. it was a sad sad day except not because we'd finally found out from brittany's mom, who knows the guy who runs the place. (todd. you need that information later. store it somewhere) so the whole idea of the pete yorn concert just basically slipped into a sad oblivion for a long long time....... and i kept reminding brittany it was coming up and on sunday i went 'pete yorn's gonna be here on wednesday....' and she was like 'OMG REALLY' because she's a fiend who remembers absolutely nothing. the date was easy to remember seeing as it was right before nick's birthday. oh and this is really random but happy birthday nick. and on another really random note the hissyfits were in town on tuesday night at the maproom but we didn't get to see them. sad sad sad sad sad day. anyway. ahem. but brittany had ordered the pete yorn cd online with a gift certificate thingie that katie got her for her birthday, but i had really really intended to buy that the second i got some money. brittany had only heard the one single, the hidden track thing which i think is available for download on her blog, and one that she didn't like. but she still bought it. and it came in the mail on like... monday or tuesday? monday i think. and she only listened to the first half of it twice. x_x poor sad brittany. *cough cough* so on that very wednesday brittany and i went through school like normal citizens and came home like normal citizens and practiced volleyball or the lack thereof like normal citizens. and then brittany called me around like 5 i guess or a little earlier and she was like 'guess what' and i was like '-_- what' and she proceeded to tell me that her mother had called todd at newby's and gotten the time for the show and everything and that todd had AGREED TO LET BRITTANY IN and I WAS INVITED. it was a big lovely surprise but i didn't get my hopes up just yet. i ran off and away to ask father puddintane if i could go. he was like 'have you finished your homework' and i was like 'YES YES YES' and he looked at me like a dad for a minute and then he went 'alright' and i went 'SCREAM SCREAM SCREAM OMG YAY' or whatever and i talked to nick and aj online a little and i read jane eyre for two seconds and i had to clean out the catbox and that was extremely gross and i had fake chicken for dinner and i didn't know what to wear so i just put on what i'd worn to school, which was like the plainest thing in the history of the world. woah i just read that over and i thought i said 'i am planning the history of the world.' ......... yeah you bet. so ANYWAY. i was amazingly hyped up and the thing started at 9 and brittany was supposed to call me at 8 and be here by 8:30. i got no call UNTIL 8:30 where she said they hadn't left yet, that her dad wasn't home yet. she and her mom couldn't leave until doc rob got home because he had to watch her sibs. so anyway she called me back like ... 10 minutes later and the conversation was as such:
phone: *ring ring*
alanna: hello
brittany: we're on our way
alanna: bye
................it was a beauteous thing.
by the by, 15 or so minutes later... well ok i'll make it 20. the point is there was a car honking outside the house and i dropped jane eyre and i grabbed the clothes brittany had left over here and ran outside, realising that i'd forgotten the lisa loeb cd i was supposed to return to her. x_X but that was ok because brittany was like 'gahh i hate you. i'm getting it when we come back' so i was like 'yeah yeah yeah' and then we drove to the drive-up atm machine thingie and brittany told me about the bring it on boy and we discussed the moulin rogue song and brittany was thereby missy elliot and she went 'UH UH UH UH UH UH UHHHH' and i was horrified. and brittany was harassed by some guy in a car with kids who ran into a fire hydrant while making skary stalker motions at brittany through the window. so then we drove to newby's which, you should know, is on highland, past the library, near tiger bookstore &amp;amp; happy days (which we intend to burn, mind you) and across the street from wherever frankie's dad works. so uhm. i'm really hungry. we had to park a ways away from the actual building and there was a massive line and brittany's mom was like 'i dont wanna waaaaait' so we walked up there and brittany and i were unbearably short so brittany's mom saw one of her friends from a college art class and she was talking to her and brittany and i got in line and there was these guys talking behind us about garrison star and i found it amazingly cool since she was my first concert, in a way. x_x but anyway.. it was still really cool. and i was trying to eavesdrop but then brittany started pointing at this huge tank thingie and she goes 'look. beer.' and then the guy in the line in FRONT of us went 'what do you think that is.' and brittany's mom is like 'helium' and we were looking at it and it was really gross. because they was trash and beer cans/bottles everywhere. and then on the wall there were these stickers on the wall for like bands and radio stations and stuff, like the kind you stick on your car because they were obviously water-resistant. and brittany was like 'when we have a band i'm gonna put our sticker up there' and i was like 'no way we'll still be in memphis' and she stood there for a second looking at the wall and she went 'well we'll tour here' and i was like 'this is a pretty crappy place to come on tour. 18 and older? blegh' and she went 'ok fine we'll play the new daisy and then we can come and put the sticker on the wall' and it was funny. and they had a lot more stickers inside, we realised later. and the guy in front of us was like 'so whos opening?' and we're like 'ooooouuuuursss' and he goes 'is it any good' and we're sorta like 'eh... its okay.' and he goes 'so its tolerable, eh?' so we got to the door and the guy was like looking at us like we were fucking crazy seeing as brittany is 15 and i am not and i was most definitely the youngest person there and then brittany's mom was asking the guy if she could talk to todd, except she called him .. what was it she called him? the owner, the manager. something. but anyway. the guy's like 'i'm sorry i can't do that.' and she's sort of like, she doesn't know what to do and she goes 'well i talked to him on the phone earlier and he just told me to ask for him here....' and then the guy's like '.................... is that your daughter' and she was like 'yeaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh' and he goes 'ok well he told me about you.' and it was like ohhh thank god because for a second we were all like X_X and as mrs. heather mcbride said, 'for a second there i thought we were s.o.l.' so we went in and it was like smoky bar type room and then we walked through this really tall door with a glowing neon sign over it that said 'TOO TALL TODD' and it was thereby dubbed funny. by me. so we went into another smoky bar type room and too tall todd was randomly there, his head 32705982 feet above everyone else's. he was standing by the bar so we walked over there and we shook his hand and whatnot and he bought us cokes and i tried to say thank you but the music was really loud and then suddenly it was gone and OURS RAN OUT ONTO THE STAGE AND EVERYONE WENT WOOWOOWOO. it was great. well just the feeling. yeah. and it was really loud and i was thinking about how mr. guy in front of us in the line was asking like if it was tolerable and thinking about how loud it was. and uhm then todd sort of beckoned to us, because brittany and i were the shortest youngest people there and everything and we went up like five or so stairs and we got to stand next to the little stuff that does the lighting and whatnot and.... it was great. we were standing next to some guy and next to this girl who was videotaping the concert who we later figured was the lead singer's girlfiend. that really did explain why she was focusing the camera on him the whole time. and anyway the guy we were standing to i think he was musical or at least wannabe musical. the point is he was there for the music. he wasn't like singing or anything but he was like rapping his knuckles on the wooden railing that surrounded the little lighting board thingie. and then he played air guitar and i found it funny. we couldnt see very well or anything in the dark. oh but i mean we weren't that far back from the stage. it was really pretty decent, considering. its a small venue as it is. i asked brittany how far back she would say we were but she had no clue. but uhm now comes the part where i get to try to remember everything i can about the way they played. live concerts are great for that very reason - you get to like see how the band plays and stuff. i mean yeah you can watch the music videos but you get to look at what you want to focus on and music videos (the ours one anyway) usually center on the lead singer. so let's try to remember things i wanted to remember to say about the band. the guitarist was like really energetic when he was like having a moment, you know? like when the singer stopped singing, and you were supposed to hear the mass guitarness. he would like move round and whatnot. and then like normally he did this thing which is hard to describe but he like... the hand that holds the neck of the guitar or whatever. the fingering one. he would like do this thing on time with the bass beat..... gahh this is impossible. but oh well. then uhm mr. lead singer ours guy was like singing usually of course. and playing the guitar. so his voice goes to these really high levels and if you know the song 'sometimes' he does like this really loud high-pitched scream which is more louder and higher and angrier in concert. and uhm at one point in the concert he was doing something similiar, maybe not like an ANGRY scream, but more like.. sad or something? but anyway. it made my ears vibrate and he sounded like a fucking dolphin. and then at one point when he did not have his guitar, he turned around and like shook his ass at the audience and it was .... lovely. let me tell you. well at least his pants weren't falling off....... YET. but that's later. so uhm. yeah and you know i always say that guitarist/singers never know what to do with their hands when you take their guitar away. like when they're not supposed to play and they just have to sing. but anyway. uhm. the keyboardist. i swear these guys had something agaisnt keyboardists or something because he was like not actually on the stage. or something. it was really weird. or he was hardly on there anyway. but anyway. you could hardly see him. but he was sooo into it. i love it when musicians are into the music. and he looked like 'beethoven' at some parts. or brittany's imitation at any rate. and i told her so and she laughed really loud because i could actually hear it over the massive music. and uhm the drummer was like at some points he was just hitting the drums so so hard i thought they were gonna burst or he was gonna break the thingies or something. he got really into it as well. i love that. i said that. yeah. the bassist. my yes. uhh. yeah. so apparently its like CLASSIC to have a bassist who's much more subdued than everyone else in the band which was like the example. well maybe not CLASSIC but its like part of the mold of the average band and we discussed this with dad and he was saying that the who was basically like the perfect example of that formation. but anyway. the point is, the bassist was the most reserved. i guess they know they're the ones who really aren't being watched as much, even though i watched him at points. i mean of course you watch him AT POINTS but you don't make a deal out of the bassists. i don't know. i mean i don't even remember him or the keyboardist from the music video. but anyway. there was one point where he sort of shined, you might say. the song i thought was gonna be the finale, but turned out to be the middle, of their set. it was like they had this big part with no vocals and just jamming and like the lead singer guy like was playing guitar with the lead guitarist, you know and whatnot like a duet thingie and then we went back to center stage and acted really cool and whatnot and then he actually went over to the bassist and like it was sort of like 'here you can play now and i'll stand here so that everyone watches you' i mean it wasnt like he was trying to hog it or anything but more like offering up the bassist to the audience as the eye candy. i dunno. but yeah. oh i now remember that i REALLY wanted to talk about one of my totally favorite things about a live concert. i mean even if the music's not so great or even BAD, you can still feel it, you know? like the huge bass beat is thumping in your legs and heart and its so amazingly cool and that's got to be the best part of a show. and you know its alllll in your head. because its sooooo very loud and it just fills every little crevice it could possess and its in you and its like literally feeling that phrase that musicians use so often about 'the music's in me' and you figure that's what it must be like. i mean listening to music normally gives you a different feel of 'the music's in me' but a live concert is a totally different experience. but uhm lemme continue on with whatever. i don't even remember what i've been babbling about. but anyway.... s a lot of the songs ours did were really really familiar, but i don't know if it was just the style or what. or his voice or something else crappy. but there was this one song and he was like 'I LIVE TO SEE YOUR CHILDREN DIE' and it was pretty frightening. and uhm uh they did a queen cover near the end of the concert. one of the ballads. i just looked on amazon.com for a forever and i couldnt find it still and i don't care to listen to anymore queen sound clips. *cough cough* laylee. but uhm it was sad because even though you KNEW like everybody had lighters, only one person was waving theres around. it was depressing. but it was really funny because there was like the one little flame floating around right next to the stage. ghawlkaka. but oh well. brittany was like 'i should've brought a lighter' and proceeded to tell me that doc rob had gotten mad at her for playing with his lighter and using up all the fluid whatnot. but uhm eventually ours left. after like 11 songs. geez they might have played like everything on their one album plus that one cover. so we sat around and talked FOREVER and we moved over to the corner sort of where there was a table and heather got our drinks refilled and they tasted sweeter and flatter and it was weird. but anyway the table was really wobby and sticky. and uhm we discovered that brittany's shirt was backwards when her tag suddenly stuck out the front of her shirt and i was like you know you should turn it around and she shrugs and she's like 'so what i don't care' and then a mighty 1.2 seconds later, she put on her overshirt thingie and turned it around and i laughed at her and she had great problems struggling inside that sweater. but uh i don't even remember where we were. so there was a wrestler-greased mullet roadie moving stuff round and round the stage and some other people and the lady who was video-taping mr. ours arse left and this other lady came and i didn't lik her as much because she wasn't as good at the lighting and she was smoking too and we had to stand next to her and she had this flaming lightbulb too. i didn't like that either. it was blinding. but uhm i keep getting off track. these things are way too long. no one shall ever read this. not my fault.
