Pool Party

I'm going to a pool party for three year olds today.

That means I am going to a party that is directed toward swimming, to a demographic of people that hate the water with a passion.

I don't get it.

This American Life

I don't get it.
Why would anyone want to live an American life. It's just a land where everything is so fucking generic. The anti-conformists all conform to to look anti-conforming. Heck, me just saying that last sentence was hella cliche. It seems like nothing is new. No one wants to go beyond a box, or they believe they are when they aren't. And I hate how college is used as such fucking propaganda. Isn't is basically just a brainwashing machine? I mean, you need to go to Good College and you need to have Good Grades, and do all of these lame propagandist clubs to get in.
So fucking robotic.
The life of the American is this:
1. grow up in townsville, usa
2. go to a college, get piss drunk
3. live in the city for a bit
4. move to a nazi suburb where tweakers hold signs advertising homes divided by walls higher than the Great Wall of China.
5. lose all sense of culture you once had.
6. learn to love your corrupt government.
7. x_x

That is basically every American in the world. You go from being YOU, person of anything: a malleable soul. you could become anything: an artist, teacher, fireman, stripper, a drag queen, whatever it may be. But you are deficient in motivation: you settle for applying a white collar and being America.

What are you: YOU or America?

Haircuts

I love when my hair is not too short but not too long. It's like the best part of a relationship.


In other news I really want to move to Canada right now.

Was it a waste or did it all pay off?




It most DEFINATELY, paid off.

Little Children

I feel pathetic when a 7th grader gets double the comments on myspace than I get. Than again I pity people who get double the comments on myspace than I get. And it disturbs me when I see their names and it's things like "Victoria is SOOOO much sexier than Emily"and are flashing gang signs and slutting it up at Medieval Times. Were we this naive in middle school? Probably.


I also saw a sixth grader walking home from school talking on a RAZR.


I didn't have a phone until eighth grade. And Saturday I just got a new phone that is RAZR-like.

This weekend I have been listening to a lot of Pink Floyd. Weird.

"How I wish, how I wish you were here, We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year"

Me gusta!

Chicago Seemed Tired Last Night

Happy Birthday Catherine!


You ditched coming down Sunday. And you got to see the decemberists.

Anways, I am overwhelmed with the amounts of cr4p going on. I got a 70% on my Julius Caesar test. I will drop it and ignore the fact I ever read it.

The Ghost of Caesar

Just as I thought that idiot Julius Caesar was out of my life he comes back in the form of a test. Ugh.

I actually have a B in Chalew. I am extremely shocked.

&

I am a hater.

I don't know what else to say. I am not very interesting today.

Don't Listen to the Static

Long time, no blog.

This means that this will be a long blog.

I watched the series finale of Six Feet Under and it was amazing and soooo depressing. I wish it was still on now. Also I went to my sister's and she just got this huge new computer and it was sooo cool.

Also Denver is next week and I can't wait!

Also, also Ms. Miraglia DOES care about people! Thank you.

I am listening to this new bloc remix and its incredible. It makes this song 78938973 times better.

Speaking of bloc, I realized the song "Vision of Heaven" is one of the best songs ever made.

&&& Angela is muy cool for spelling my name right. On the first try too!

I need to make cool blogs, but I have a lack of motivation, AND I AM BACK IN BLOGDOM MANDY


IN OTHER NEWS: I AM FINISHED WITH JULIUS FREAKING CAESAR!!!

Jargon

Open house was tonight but I decided not to go cuz IDK. I have the same exact grade in spanish. And I took track and field photos today. Sorry, Angela if you are reading this, they are crap. I am a little rusty with the camera since I haven't taken sports photos since January and yeah. I am very glad tomorrow is a minimum day so yes!!!!

Surpsise?

It is 2:00 and Robin wasn't supposed to be there until 3:45.
I knock on the door, Robin's mom opens it.
"Surprise!!!!-wait, it's just Michael."
I am quickly traded my present for a mask.
30 seconds later, Robin knocks on the door.
"Surprise"
Robins reaction: fake.


Sorry for ruining your surprise party Robin. Next time I will come 30 minutes before supposed to.
