This song is beautiful. Davey and Jade can still deliver. "Bitter For Sweet" is perfect.

I had my first driving session in two weeks (since I was sick last week) and it went terribly. I felt completely separate from the car. And there was an extra passenger; not that it mattered much. I just couldn't feel the wheel as it worked, and I didn't look ( Read more... )

We set the clocks forward an hour and I still feel behind in the present. My mother just finished reading this novel, "Back When We Were Grownups," and she suggested, like Rebecca had considered, that perhaps this was not my "true life." I could only agree, certainly thinking I'd stumbled upon this ship of fools by mistake. She wanted me to go to ( Read more... )

You know when people say, "It's been a summer," and you can only ever vomit or empathize? There's not much room for a neutral response, not like that. Not when you know there's something epic looming behind the exasperation. But even so, I want to say that it's been a week. Only, when I say it here and now, I want it to sound as dramatic as it ( Read more... )

Today was exceptionally strange. In fact, it was that brand of bizarre that movies are made of. Oddly enough, it snowed through last night. I awoke to two, maybe four, inches of snow (I'd know, had I been awkwardly carrying a ruler) and a two-hour delayed start at school. Yeah, leave it to my high school to keep the doors open at any and all costs ( Read more... )

Blaqk Audio's profile got swamped overnight. I mean, it's only been around for two days. Mayhem, right? And there's a fan profile on top of that. That's what I call dedication. Or insanity. Or, okay, dedicated insanity.

I haven't done any of the work I've been assigned for over the vacation, even though this week is nearing the end. I guess I'll ( Read more... )

This week is really very vacant. I'd almost rather be in school. Don't worry, I'm not that insane. At least not yet. It's just that everyone in town is away, and I can only watch Jared Leto on Fuse so many times in a row. That, and actually walk around in the snow. I miss the idea of being elsewhere. I miss the idea of wanting to be here.

Is it ( Read more... )

It looks like AFI-related things are heating back up. I do love this time of year. I'm glad to have some escape, even if it's only three hours in a darkened room with hundreds of strangers crowding around one group of four. Because, you know, that's never all it is. I hope they announce New York venues soon. It's been less than a year since this  ( Read more... )

A certain bastard that I used to be quite friendly with was recently unfriendly enough to spread some ghastly rumor about me. Let's get something straight: I have never ever even feigned interest in this specific boy that I'd recently befriended. He has a bad reputation that I was willing to overlook for some time. Unfortunately, he lived up to his ( Read more... )

It would be easy to say that I am angry because I did not get what I wanted. Or that I will not get what I want. Or that I decided that what I wanted wasn't really what I wanted after everything was said and done. But all of that is no good, as it's largely irrelevant and it's time to be brutally honest. I want to tell all of my friends the same ( Read more... )

Yesterday was the first day of Driver Ed. It was an hour-length session of Lecture. It wasn't unbearable, although I get the feeling it will be. Mr. McQuade (a disturbingly expressionless man) talked for an hour about the importance of driving, mentioning how great it was that we all wanted to be there. You know, not like it was required by law or ( Read more... )
