I started the ultimate DIY project this weekend! I'm making a messenger bag out of some canvas we dumpstered! I've already cut it out and put in the pins, so i'm in the pre-sewing stage. I'd be doing that right now, but instead I'm pretending to do my English paper. Fuckin' English... I hate that crap ( Read more... )

Stole this from Kelly who stole it from Claudia, who stole it from Jonathan, who got it from Jenna ( Read more... )

I'm really proud of myself, my first real dumpster diving experience was a true success. We had a band practice today, and when it was over we all went downtown. Our first dumpster find was a bunch of bubble tape behind Wolf Camera. It was awesome, we rapped Seb in the stuff and held it together with duct tape. We pushed him around and punched and ( Read more... )

Sorry it's been awhile. There's been a lot going on, but I'd rather not have most of it online (which makes this journal seem fucking useless). I went to another protest after the last one I posted. That time I went with Claudia, and we met up with Emily. That was really cool, Oakland has a lot of cool people ( Read more... )

*I took away part of this, because I posted a picture of a friend without permission, so she got angry. That was pretty fucked up of me, and if she reads this, I'm sorry. If anyone has this pic, please stop passing it around the internet to your friends or whatever. She wants to keep a low profile, so she can continue protest without police being ( Read more... )

We got out early for testing and got an hour and a half for lunch. Mr. Brandon and I went downtown for lunch, to Andele's. I called up my mom and asked her if we could use the credit card to pay in celebration of being able to get out of high school. She said okay, and we had a $25 lunch. Just the two of us, and $25 worth of food. It was good, but ( Read more... )

I saw Mal today! I miss hanging out with her so much! Jeez. I have her number and everything, but I feel weird wanting to call her, because we haven't talked in so long. She told me that college is work... heh, go figure. Man, I really miss 7th grade. Everyone was one big fucking happy family. I was a loser with a skateboard, and I didn't give a ( Read more... )

I just had a really cool conversation with Lauren. I asked her if she remembered seeing the Ataris with me, (after I listened to the new song) and she sort of did. We started talking about how our attitudes towards punk and emo have really changed since then. I mean, I used to think that Rancid and the Ataris were the punkest bands ever. Heh. I was ( Read more... )

Right now I should be typing up my project for Ms. Mayo's class... BUT I'M NOT!! HAHAHAHA ( Read more... )

I went to another Mitchell show last night. I took m'neighbor (a.k.a. Leigh) along because I really wanted her to see Tripple Nipple. She helped us set up, because that way I could give her a ride, and she could save $5. When we got there there was a wedding going on in the place we usually have the shows, so we were kicked way downstairs. I ( Read more... )
