"At that moment, I knew that I had to have him, even if it was the last thing I did. I achieved my wish. Unfortunately, it also did happen to be the last thing I did. Quite literally."

"Most of the things I know about my best friend, I've found out through Google searches. Not through him."

What is wrong with me?

2008-02-04T23:53:03Z

Someone invited me to join a facebook group for supporting Mike Huckabee. It had a picture on it, and only the picture caused me to question whether or not he's really as bad as people say he is. I dunno... the picture just made him seem so helpless and harmless to me. It made me feel bad for him, and almost made him seem kind of cute to me. And then I started to read his viewpoints for that reason. I don't agree with them, but somehow I still believe that he's an okay person.

Here's the picture:

ANOTHER ONE OF THESE

2008-01-27T02:56:27Z

IF YOUR LIFE WAS A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE?
So, here's how it works:

1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, MediaPlayer, iPod, etc.).
2. Put it on shuffle.
3. Press play.
4. For every question, type the song thats playing.
5. When you go to the next question, press the next button
6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool.

1. Opening Credits:
Alice Deejay - Back In My Life. (That should be for mourning over a break-up, srsly.)

2. Waking Up:
Malice Mizer - Secret Track. (This would be like if I woke up in some strange crystal castle.)

3. First Day At School:
They Might Be Giants - Token Back To Brooklyn. (If I went to school in Brooklyn, MAYBE.)

4. Falling in Love:
People Are Wrong - Boomerang. ("Love is like a boomerang, a supreme continuum"?)

5. Fight Song:
Spiraling - Is That The Last Glass of Water?. (Sounds more like a compromise to me.)

6. Breaking Up:
Das Ich - Egodram. (That's a scary breakup)

7. Prom:
They Might Be Giants - Wearing A Raincoat.

8. Life:
Logan Whitehurst - Big Mistake. (Well, that's just great)

9. Mental Breakdown:
Box Car Racer - There Is.

10. Driving:
They Might Be Giants - La Dolce.

11. Flashback:
Kelis - Milkshake. (Well, this song IS from 2003...)

12: Getting Back Together:
Logan Whitehurst - At The Wig Store.

13. Losing Your Virginity:
Logan Whitehurst - Jen And Elvis (WTF!!!! hahaha. Threesome?)

14. Wedding:
North Core Project - How Long Can You Go?. (HAHA. I guess this would mean, "how long can you be married without getting a divorce?")

15: Birth of Child:
Tears For Fears - Shout.

16. Final Battle:
Sufjan Stevens - The Predatory Wasp Of The Palisades Is Out To Get Us!. (HEHE)

17. As You Lay Dead:
New Order - Blue Monday.

18. Funeral Song:
Andrew Bird - Dark Matter.

19. End Credits:
The Killers - On Top.

I wish that that could just be fine.

That's our cat now. The neighbors left her behind when they moved. She liked us better than she liked them. Her name is Josephina. I guess that she's not really mine, because I'm moving in but a few days, but it's still pretty exciting.

Becoming insane

2007-12-10T15:35:05Z

Post the first TWO (real) sentences from each month of 2007...

January: Once again, my heart is not with me. Hah, more walking along blindly through these hallways.

February: Yeah, so... on Tuesday, I went with Jen to her school. Upon walking through the hallway, we passed her former psychology teacher, Sanjay Paul.

March: Wow, it's March! :o That's all I can say to express my "astonishment".

April: Yesterday, my stomach really hurt and I could barely walk 'cause of it, so I stayed home bells 1-4. I came in at lunch and went to bells 5-7.

May: I've always told myself that I'd do something weird or just generally be strange, the last few weeks of high school. Now, it's here, and I'm just not totally sure what to do.

June: As soon as school's out, I unconsciously begin to screw up my sleep schedule. This explains why I'm up at 3AM printing out an AIM conversation between me and Jon, for the purpose of taping it in here to describe some of the finer details of my most recent trip.

July: No entries in July.

August: This is not the entry that will explain EVERYTHING. No, that entry will have to be written in the evening, when I reside in Kiawah Island with my parents, when there is nothing better to do.

September: Some of the most notable events in my summer haven't been transcribed yet, simply for the reason that they are too detailed to be written out. I normally write things down, but when everything piles up, it's really hard to sit down and find the willpower to spend hours documenting everything that's been happening.

October: I've felt very inspired about upcoming plans, recently! It's so hard to believe that it's October, mainly because it's still a little too warmish outside for my preference.

November: Well, in the past few days, there has definitely been quite an odd turn of events. In several ways, really.

December: It's so strange that the time is nearly upon me. ;_; I don't know if I fully believe it yet.

Pay attention.

2007-09-29T06:45:27Z

the sometimes sad but inescapable truth that you can't hold someone's love against them.

That's the line that stuck out to me from the movie that I saw this night. I didn't remember it from the book. I guess that now it has more meaning to me.

I said something to somebody today that was very important, but they did not hear me.

(the book was way better than the movie, btw.)

Obligated to the study of my mind

2007-09-22T05:39:00Z

A feeling just washed over me that says that I don't HAVE to go to sleep.

But it passed very quickly...

I wish I could have that feeling of no obligations more often. It's like even when I have no obligations, I still feel obligated to something. Does that make sense? Maybe it's okay, though.

Moving on to

2007-09-20T01:27:32Z

I just got back from dinner with my friend Scotty. I met him at work a while back. He got transferred to the night shift, though. The same thing that happened to my last decent friend at work! :p Don't get me wrong; the people there are okay in general. They can be fine to talk to and all. I just rarely find a person there that I have things in common with. Doesn't matter, I suppose... I won't be working there much longer. Ha!

I'm going to edit Scotty's book for him. He's been working on it for the past seven years, apparently. It's a sci-fi type of novel, and it sounds really interesting from all that he's told me. I will get paid for this! He obviously isn't sure yet how the book will do, so I might not get paid much at all if people think it sucks. Oh well, it's still an interesting project to undertake, in any case.

I'm probably going to be spending a lot more time at home. I changed my work schedule so that I can work more, because there are a lot of things I have to do and places I have to go. I sometimes feel like I have more fun staying at home, talking to friends on the phone and online, and doing little projects, than I do going out in big groups. Of course, I do have a select few friends that I really enjoy doing things with, but there are other people that make hanging out a big hassle! :p

I have a few DVDs to watch, things to edit, and people to talk to.

I understand that a new chapter in my life has begun.

Embed yourself.

Okay, so I was wrong. People do comment on LJ posts. It was GJ that people weren't commenting on much. I guess that's just because I don't know as many people on there. Or maybe because my posts were too vague. I will never know.

Things are going to change soon, a lot. I have things planned out in my head, but rarely does the true outcome match the playouts in one's head. I need to tell a couple people a couple things... things that will change each of our outlooks on each other, most likely. I already did this with one person, and it seems like things have been better with him since then.

When it's safe to write how things really are, maybe I'll start doing that. My posts might be friends only, though...

Dusting things off

2007-09-18T04:18:36Z

Okay, I'm updating my goddamn livejournal.

I went to a couple TMBG shows, and shit happened. But I still had an experience, which is good.

I will be going to more in the future.

I am relocating soon.

Nobody will comment on this entry.

The customers scattered on the tile floor

2007-06-26T01:43:47Z

I have so many things to do, and so far, I've not gotten started on any of them, really. I have a "Facere" list upstairs in my room. It's on a post-it and it sticks to my (large) dresser.
The following things are written on it:
-Go through old clothes
-Straighten up room
-File old papers
-Format/put my music on my new iPod (which was freeee, Mike gave it to me :])
-Schedule test and get drivers license
-Organize hard drive and get laptop
-Write a story that someone requested me to write
-Take some photos that someone requested me to take.

I do plan to do these things, but first I have to get in the right state of mind, you see. I also need to write a lot more. So many things have happened this summer that I just haven't adequately documented yet. :[

Yet...

Do you ever like to do or say things just to see what others' reactions will be? Maybe I should start doing that more often... I'd like to see what I can and can't do and what will yield positive or negative results.

I've been invited to go to IHOP tonight at 11:30PM by Veronica, whom I work with. She's a pretty decent person, compared to most of my coworkers. I invited Brandon along too, because Alex Everson is already going. Alex E used to be my friend a while back; now we don't talk so often. I usually dislike going out with people I don't know well, but I figure that I should tonight. I won't be gone long, afterall!

The start of a blackout, I hope not.

2007-06-25T00:37:14Z

I'm writing in this ( http://www.greatestjournal.com/~chaosbydesign ) journal because of Jen. (I suppose a bit because of Andrew as well.) This one in particular. I suppose I might as well cross-post it to my livejournal, because there's not much sense having it on this one and not on the other one. The idea of writing in this stems from the fact that not everybody really knows other people as well as they think they do. People have to see all sides of a person before they can really say that they truly know them and the way they think. I think that seeing how people write about their life and thoughts really helps a person to be understood a lot better by those around them, so I'm going to try to write in this throughout my free period (from now until March). I'm not promising in any way that I'll always be in the right state of mind to write, but I'll try my best.

It's strange though how I actually want to do this, because I don't feel in any way comfortable writing about what my life is really about, or what I really think. In the conversation I had last night with Jen, I was talking about how if people are too blunt about what they really think or do, it often makes them seem moronic just because of how precisely they cite what they do with their lives. If they disclose their jealous thoughts, their irrational ones, their shameful actions. I'm not sure why it has to be that way, because everybody makes mistakes and has dumb thoughts, quite often probably. But people who write about it and seem totally fine with it have always eluded me.

I guess that everything starts somewhere, so I might as well disclose one thing: Almost everything I find interesting about my life has to do with other people and their actions. I'm not sure if most people would guess that about me, but it's true. It's not that I don't do anything by myself, but I often find myself pondering about why other people do the things they do, my relationships with those surrounding my life, and problems to solve involving them. I have set plans for myself, but often I revolve them around other people. The strange thing though, is that I don't even necessarily like most people. A lot of people I meet are nowhere near being on the same wavelength I am, and this makes it somewhat difficult to make good friends. But I'm talking about the people who I am good friends with, or anybody that affects me significantly... directly, or indirectly.

I'm not sure how to go about writing about them though, because I'm not sure if I would upset them by writing certain things, or if I would let something personal of theirs slip. I guess that I'll have to do lots of consulting before writing stuff. :p

Nothing to write about this day in particular; this entry has served to just be an opener, perhaps.

So, iownyouboth, your LiveJournal reveals...

You are... 9% unique (blame, for example, your interest in unfamiliar parts of town) and 19% herdlike (partly because you, like everyone else, enjoy writing). When it comes to friends you are popular. In terms of the way you relate to people, you are keen to please. Your writing style (based on a recent public entry) is absurdly obscure.

Your overall weirdness is: 117

(The average level of weirdness is: 27.
You are weirder than 100% of other LJers.)

Find out what your weirdness level is!

I thought this might be fun:

I set up a screen name on AIM where anybody who wants can sign on to it and IM me (or anyone else for that matter, haha)... and tell me either:
-Something you've wanted to tell me
-Something you like about me
-Something you dislike about me
-Or just random stuff...

All totally anonymously.

I'm the only buddy on the list right now, and if you hover over my screen name, there will be a buddy comment that shows up that has a message from me to whoever gets onto the screen name :D

That's right, I found a balloon. Attached to a real estate sign. It's blue. Time for more balloon wishes!

It's raining.

Jen took this ^

It resides in an unexplainable location.

2006-02-20T01:37:49Z

I figure that I'll update this journal, because people are still commenting on my last entry. :D Hah. Hmm, there's not much that I want to say. Well, there's a lot to say actually, as of late, but I don't feel like typing it all.

I'll just post some pictures.

Don't ask me to explain why there is a saw around my neck.

O_o... My headdress is neatish, I think.

HAHA, I wonder what the consequences will be of posting this picture.

Oh, and:
Jen and I are going to Doom's house on the weekend of 3/17 - 3/20, Yaaay. On 3/18 we are doing random things around NJ I suppose, and on 3/19 it's NYC for the People Are Wrong! show! I'm quite excited. Who else is going to that, besides the people who have already told me?

TMBG SURVEY

2006-01-10T03:27:57Z

I found this in the alt.music.tmbg newsgroup. It was an OLD post! I was looking through the archives and happened to come across it.

It looked fun.

1. What album introduced you to TMBG?
Well, the song Birdhouse In Your Soul introduced me, but not the entire album. But I guess TECHNICALLY Flood did.

2. What album would you call your favorite?
John Henry's my very favorite, and the Self-Titled album is a very close second.

3. Name three other bands that you like on the same level as TMBG.
I don't like any other bands on the same level! I can't have more than one obsession, that just wouldn't work... I do like a lot of music though. Just not as much as TMBG.

4. Do you try to see TMBG live every time they play in your area? Define the
extent of "your area" that usually draws you to a show.
Of course I'll see them live whenever they play near my town. If I can get a ride and have time, that is. I like to make time. I also went and saw them in Brooklyn for New Years, even though that's more than 600 miles away. Whee, what fun!

5. Based on what TMBG albums you own, classify yourself into one of the
following categories ("etc" includes DAS and Unlimited releases and
similar):
Probably minor completeist, but only because I haven't been a fan for an extremely long time and I don't have a credit card to buy things online. If I did, I would have way more. :D But I get everything that I can get.

6. Do you follow / own any of TMBG's side projects, like Mono Puff or State
Songs? Which?
Yes, I get all of it that I can.

7. Does the extent of your fandom ruin new releases for you because so little of the material is "new" to you?
There isn't much new material, but it doesn't make me mad or anything. It's TMBG so it's cool :]

8. Do you try to "recruit" new TMBG fans among friends? Are most of your
friends TMBG fans?
Yeah, I get most people that I know into them somewhat. I haven't converted anyone into being exactly obsessive, but most of my friends at least like them as a band and listen to them sometimes. And a few of my friends like to quote their lyrics a lot. I have a lot of TMBG fan friends online too, but I met them because of TMBG, so they were already like that.

9. When you see TMBG's music on TV or in the mainstream media, or when you
hear a TMBG song being sung by a "non-fan" that usually wouldn't listen to
TMBG, does this make you mad? Do you fear TMBG becoming very popular and
losing your own "possession" of the music?
No, it doesn't make me mad. I mean, I would be sorta upset if TMBG became utterly MAINSTREAM and everybody liked them, because they would lose the type of magic/rarity that I look for. However, I do like it when I see people that are into TMBG and see them on TV, etc. I just wouldn't like it if they were everywhere I looked.

10. What is your favorite TMBG website?
www.tmbw.net

11. What do you most like about TMBG?
Their lyrics are what got me into them, so I guess that's it. How clever they are, and how they match my sense of humor perfectly. I see things in their songs that I've never seen anything of the sort written by other bands, and some things actually remind me of things that I've written in the past; it's always interesting when that happens. I also just like their sound altogether, it's so very unique. I also like the way that they don't stick to just one genre, they try out all sorts of things and have such diversity.

12. Do you collect TMBG live shows / Bootlegs? How many do you own?
I have some live show songs if they are something special, but I don't have a ton of them. I collect the ones that I go to, though.

13. If TMBG broke up, would the void be hard for you to fill? Would you
attempt to fill it?
Ugh! There have been plenty of voids in my past and I don't want any more.

14. How many TMBG shirts do you own?
3, but I'll get more in the future if I can find any that actually fit me!!! :/ Most of them are too big...

15. Do you read / write / ponder interpretations to TMBG songs?
Yeah. I don't think there is any defined meaning to any TMBG song though that the band had in mind, but I like to think about what the songs mean to me personally.

16. What is your favorite TMBG song?
I go through different time periods where different songs are my favorites. But overall / for a prolonged period of time, I'd have to say: Town To Town (Hello The Band), Birdhouse In Your Soul, Sally Boy Candy Bar, Yeah The Deranged Millionaire, I'm All You Can Think About, Stomp Box, Hall Of Heads, Rhythm Section Want Ad, Sleeping In The Flowers, Everything Right Is Wrong Again, Now Is Strange, House Of Mayors (Linnell), I'll Sink Manhattan, I Palindrome I, Spiraling Shape, Museum Of Idiots, Out Of Jail, Put Your Hand Inside The Puppet Head, Skullivan, Subway Token To Brooklyn...

Heh, I have a lot of favorites.

17. What is your least favorite TMBG song?
I like all TMBG to a certain extent, but the ones that I don't really favor a whole lot are: Lazyhead and Sleepybones, Toddler Hiway, Unrelated Thing, The Army's Tired Now, The Guitar...

18. Do you hate / Have you lost some respect for Flood? Do you have less
respect for a "Floodie" than for another fan?
Flood, in my opinion is just as good as any other albums, jeez. And... define a "Floodie". If it's someone who ONLY knows Flood, then they just simply aren't as big of a fan... it doesn't mean I'd respect them less.

19. How long have you been posting / reading alt.music.tmbg? What similar
forums do you visit for TMBG? What similar forums do you visit for other
bands?
I rarely post to this, as it's sort of deadish. All the drama seems to have gone on years ago. :p I belong to several other TMBG forums, etc. Including LJ.

20. Is TMBG your "favorite band"?
Yeah.
