Not only did they have a party this weekend which resulted in me waking up to see a beer can littering the scenery from my bedroom window, all I can hear now is the sounds of base from their obnoxious music when I have a jillion things to do for school!!! AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

Today marks the fourth anniversary of one of the most tragic days ever. I remember exactly how I found out the twin towers were no longer.

I'm really happy to ( Read more... )

I just bought a brand new CD on Amazon.com for ONE CENT!  Granted, it's a really old album that no one wants to listen to anymore, but it happens to be one of my faves that I've had on cassette for the longest time.  Can't wait until it arrives.
