All right… so if you’re ever trying to be up for something at 5:30 a.m., never go to sleep at 3:30 and except to be able to wake up then. I’m actually awaiting to see if anyone went or not. I was only talked into it because the only reason I had to be up early was breakfast, but all the people i was going to breakfast with were going to that… so I figured they probably wouldn’t be making it to breakfast anyway (were supposed to be there at 9:30)…. Anyway, I don’t know what happened. I don’t remember waking up. But my alarm was definately set for 5:15. So I don’t know what happened really… what thought processes went through my head… or if Jason Brown or Matt tried to convince me to get up and go. So I woke up at 7:30 and then went back to sleep. I then woke up at like 9:50… no time to get dressed and stuff and get over to breakfast before it closes… so yeah. I guess I’ll have to wait till later to find out what happened and if i missed out on anything…..

update on living sacrifice:
Bruce has not actually left yet, he is leaving however. But according to Solid State Records he will be with them up until Cornerstone 2003. Also, Solid State says that Rusty is still in the band, and is ALSO playing with Evanescence. Oh yeah, and Solid State seems to think that Cornerstone’s claim that Zao is playing there is valid…. and hey, if HxC.com was incorrect about Living Sacrifice…. there ya go. Now it is a mystery again.
Ummm…. that is all for now.
Silent films are evil.
So are guys… and girls for that matter.
bye.
Sometimes people of the male gender annoy the crap out of me. that combined with my lack of sleep from sporadic insomnia which causes me to be annoyed at pretty much everyone that I am around for longer then like 2 minutes. oh well. anyway, if you are a female friend of mine, just promise me you will never date a guy ever. they are stupid. bye.
“Now that we’re one now
Softly whispers saving grace
6:19 as I wait
And stronger last year
My eyes close
Stars can see me
Stars will meet me
On the ground
On the ground
Summer’s gone
And winter is never to far now
And my poor heart
I’m spread so long that my bones are now breaking within
You come with a smile that’d send any man to his knees
And I feel I’ll be gone now that we’re one now.
You graciously had to
I graciously had you
To my home.
To my home.
Summer’s gone
And winter is never to far now
And my poor heart
I’m spread so long that my bones are now breaking within
You come with a smile that’d send any man to his knees
And I feel I’ll be gone now that we’re one now.”

I went to the beach today for a brief while. It was pretty fun… but umm.. it was a bit chilly for the beach. So we didn’t stay there terribly long, but that’s ok ;). We made a turtle out of sand. He was horribly deformed and was therefore named “lumpy”. we fixed him up a bit after that though… but he still wasn’t quite right. So Karissa and Jill put it out of it’s misery. It was a sad time. I cried for almost an hour.
Then I got back here, and I got on hxc.com. I read the news. I was made sad(der). I discovered that Living Sacrifice’s guitarist, Rusty, left the band and joined uhh… Evanesence (or however you spell it) and umm… and this is where it gets suckier…. Bruce has also left the band. So yeah… that sucks almost as bad as that time when Dan left Zao. Or that time when Zao broke up and then got back together again and then broke up again. Or maybe as bad as that time when Zao was supposed to play Cornerstone even though they were broken up but then it turned out they aren’t actually playing Cornerstone afterall but still might be because you have no idea what the heck they (if ‘they’ exist) are doing. Ummm… yeah.
We are going to Wally’s tonight. It should be a fun time. Seems like a good number of people will be coming. Good ‘ol pool. If only I didn’t suck so badly at it…. 😉
Anyway, have a rockin’ weekend.
Oh yeah, and the lyrics to this new Dashboard song are stinking awesome. Just found them a minute ago 😉 And *gasp*… they’re not about a girl!
later 😉
“This basket arrives
to show your condolence,
You hope that it finds me well
and just in time,
this loss was unbearable
but now I have flowers,
Thoughtful blooming bright arrangement
That I can outlive too…
Dress the corpse in his best,
He only has one shot
To knock em dead.
And toast to the way he left us,
counting our blessings,
and holding our heads.
You better speak up
you better say something
we better believe ourselves for once,
‘Cause you never said help
you never said anything the way that we
dreamed trained ourselves to fear,
It’s only in this silence
I can hear he’d been screaming
all along….
Dress the corpse in his best,
He only has one shot
To knock em dead.
And toast to the way he left us,
counting our blessings,
and holding our heads.
Dress the corpse in his best
He only has one shot to knock em dead,
and I would have thought that
I had more to lose than him,
My skin has gone stark white
and an ash covers my skin,
I should have worn makeup
it seems to have worked for him.”

I injured my hand today. With a guitar string of all things. and 2 guitar strings were broken today. stupid guitars. Anyway, yeah, the string broke and hit my hand not once, but twice…. both times breaking the skin, one of the times actually drawing blood.
Spider-man… Spider-man. Terrible movie? I think so. Bad acting plus bad special effects = bad movie. I saw it once before… and thought it was ok…. I saw it again tonight, and umm… yeah. I don’t like it. Next time my options are pay $5.50 to see The Two Towers again, or to watch Spider-man for free… I’m definately going with The Two Towers.
Classes start tomorrow. That is sad. I only have 2 of them though. Systematic Theology and Intro to Film Study. That second one… I’m a little worried about it. all that movie watching… that’s rough.
So the semester is off to a good start. Except it takes like all day to accomplish things that should take like 5 minutes. But that’s ok. So far, at least… I haven’t been in a rush. 😉
“I’m starting to fashion an idea in my head.
Where I would impress you, with every single word I said,
Would come out insightful, or brave, or smooth, or charming.
And you’d want to call me.
And I would be there everytime you need me.
I’d be there every time.
But for now, I’ll look so longingly,
Waiting…….
For you to want me,
For you to need me,
For you to notice… me”

Just letting you all know that I am back to school safely. Ummm… so far I met Karissa at the airport and then we took the extended way back to school, and then we went back and forth multiple times on 98 trying to get to a bunch of places….. anyway, I’m going now. bye.
So… the new year has begun. So far it is very much like 2002… only there’s one less 2 and umm… one more 3. So I guess that’s kind of different. Maybe. I’m dumb. Anyway….

Umm… there are some others in there that I am interested in, but did not list because I have never actually heard them before… and others I will probably see, but will not neccesarily make it a point to see. but yeah. Pretty good list… that’s almost a third of the bands on the list so far ;).
The party last night was fun. One of the first things that happened in the new year was almost getting a chunk of hair ripped out of my head by an air pump thing. Stupid stephanie had it pointed the wrong way, and I suffered for it 😉 haha… yeah, there was a massive knot in it… luckily, she got it out. I would not have been happy if I had to cut it. My hair is not to be cut until at least the time of cornerstone. And the rest of the night was spent blowing things up with fireworks… and dave ovenshire defying death by bottlerockets…. haha… I was surprised the boy made it through the night without at least suffering some severe burns.
Anyway, I am so messed up right now sleepwise. It is 2:40 a.m. I feel like it should be like maybe 4 or 5 P.M.. Except it is pitch black outside. I didn’t sleep at all new years eve. I got back here and went to sleep around 11 a.m.. I woke up at 8 p.m…. so I have only been up 6 hours and it is this late… it’s crazy. Feels odd. I am going to try going to sleep in about an hour though… need to fix myself up before I have to go back to school.
The new FSF album is really good. Every time I listen to it, I like it more and more. It’s sort of like their first album, in that is has to grow on me. With the exception of a few songs, which I loved the first time…. such as track 7 (no idea what the title is), which continues to be my favorite song on the cd.
Anyway, have a wonderful day, and I hope you have all had a great start in the new year.
Godspeed.
