BOOM!

The Balance of the Music Universe Rests in the Hands of Cheerleaders

So I sent Alli this amazing song by Imogen Heap, which led to this insightful conversation.

AMS booboo [1:42 PM]: where did you hear of them?
Zimgirl16 [1:42 PM]: hehe youll be suprised
Zimgirl16 [1:42 PM]: it was the song at the very end of the season finale of...

Zimgirl16 [1:44 PM]: yes
Zimgirl16 [1:44 PM]: i got interpol there too!
AMS booboo [1:45 PM]: wow
AMS booboo [1:45 PM]: that makes me slightly sad
Zimgirl16 [1:46 PM]: well look at it this way - some unfortunate children who like yucky music listen to the OC cuz its their target audience
Zimgirl16 [1:46 PM]: maybe by listening to the OC and getting the soundtracks a whole new group of people are realizing their music is yucky and switches to good OC music
AMS booboo [1:47 PM]: but do theses poeple deserve enlightment?
Zimgirl16 [1:47 PM]: hehe
AMS booboo [1:48 PM]: im thinkin not!
AMS booboo [1:48 PM]: lol
Zimgirl16 [1:48 PM]: sure they do
AMS booboo [1:50 PM]: but if everyone likes it is it really that cool anymore?
Zimgirl16 [1:50 PM]: hmm...
AMS booboo [1:50 PM]: lol
Zimgirl16 [1:50 PM]: good point
AMS booboo [1:50 PM]: i sound indie
AMS booboo [1:51 PM]: it will shift the universe and all us nerds may have to start listening to the yucky stuff
Zimgirl16 [1:51 PM]: AH!
AMS booboo [1:52 PM]: i know!!!
Zimgirl16 [1:52 PM]: hmm... so the OC is throwing off the balance of the indie world!
AMS booboo [1:52 PM]: let them have their terrible music!
AMS booboo [1:52 PM]: take it back!!!!!
AMS booboo [1:52 PM]: lol
Zimgirl16 [1:52 PM]: by nobly attempting to pull sad souls from the abyss, they are instead killing current indie-likers!
Zimgirl16 [1:53 PM]: heh this seems like a plot for an emogame
AMS booboo [1:53 PM]: tee hee!
AMS booboo [1:55 PM]: i don't wanna kill the decemberists!!!
Zimgirl16 [1:55 PM]: i know!
Zimgirl16 [1:55 PM]: the OC may be sending hordes of cheerleaders to their concerts to like... be yucky on them!
AMS booboo [1:56 PM]: shiver
Zimgirl16 [1:57 PM]: rrr
Zimgirl16 [1:57 PM]: so when i become angry at my sisters cheerleader friend for calling the mariners revenge song the dumb pirate 8 min long song, i should actually praise her because she is upholding her place in the music universe!
AMS booboo [1:58 PM]: yep
AMS booboo [1:58 PM]: it's better that way
AMS booboo [1:58 PM]: she is preventing you from becomeing like everyone else
Zimgirl16 [1:58 PM]: so we can only have our good music if someone else buys an ashlee simpson record
AMS booboo [1:59 PM]: lol that's deep
Zimgirl16 [1:59 PM]: OH! what about my sister?
Zimgirl16 [1:59 PM]: D-12 and the Decemberists are side by side!
AMS booboo [2:00 PM]: hmmmmm
Zimgirl16 [2:00 PM]: 'my humps' and 'hide and seek have the same amount of stars!
AMS booboo [2:00 PM]: that's a sin
Zimgirl16 [2:02 PM]: it is indeed


So we really never resolved the question about Amanda... maybe she simply serves as the bridge to allow select souls to be saved, while keeping things stable in the music universe...

hehe i think we're on to something.

Told you I was right. To celebrate, here are lyrics from all these great songs!

I talk to you every now and then I never felt so alone again I stop to think at a wishing well My thoughts send me on a carousel ** You and I should get away for awhile I just want to be alone with your smile Buy some candy and cigarettes and we'll get in my car We'll blast the stereo and we'll drive to Madagascar ** And it's happened once again, I'll turn to a friend Someone that understands, sees through the master plan But everybody's gone and I've been here for too long To face this on my own, well I guess this is growing up ** And when I feel like giving up Like my world is falling down I show up at 3am She's still up watching Vacation And I see her pretty face It takes me away to a better place and I know everything's gonna be fine I know everything's gonna be fine ** And thats about the time she walked away from me Nobody likes you when you're 23 And you still act like you're in freshman year What the hell is wrong with me, my friends say I should act my age What's my age again? What's my age again? ** Say it ain't so, I will not go Turn the lights off, carry me home Keep your head still, I'll be your thrill The night will go on, my little windmill ** I never conquered, rarely came 16 just held such better days Days when I still felt alive We couldn't wait to get outside ** You can only lean on me for so long Bring your ship about to watch a friend drown Stood up on the ledge Begged you to come down You can only lean on me for so long **I fell in love with the girl at the rock show She said "what?" and I told her that I didn't know She's so cool, better sneak in through her window Everything's better when she's around Can't wait until her parents go out of town I fell in love with the girl at the rock show** In the car I just can't wait to pick you up on our very first date Is it cool if I hold your hand? Is it wrong if I think it's lame to dance? Do you like my stupid hair? Would you guess that I didn't know what to wear? I'm too scared of what you think You make me nervous so I really can't eat ** So here's your holiday hope you enjoy it this time you gave it all away It was mine So when your dead and gone Will you remember this night Twenty years now lost It's not right ** Fate fell short this time Your smile fades in the summer Place your hand in mine I’ll leave when I wanna ** Hello there, the angel from my nightmare The shadow in the background of the morgue The unsuspecting victim of darkness in the valley We can live like Jack and Sally if we want Where you can always find me We'll have Halloween on Christmas And in the night we'll wish this never ends We'll wish this never ends ** The drops of rain they fall all over This awkward silence makes me crazy The glow inside burns light upon her I'll try to kiss you if you let me Tidal waves they rip right through me Tears from eyes worn cold and sad Pick me up now, I need you so bad ** So here I am I'm trying So here I am are you ready Come on let me hold you, touch you, feel you Always Kiss you, taste you all night Always

I HEART BLINK

Subterranean Sick of Home Blues

Listening to Radiohead - Subterranean Homesick Alien, in particular. This song's title, as a matter of fact, is strikingly similar to Bob Dylan's Subterranean Homesick Blues, a great song. Both are great. But do you actually know what a subterranean is? Ever heard of a beatnik? Well, beats are what they liked to be called and subterraneans are what they called themselves. To summarize the whole idea, beats (subterraneans) were these people in the '50's who, unlike the Leave it to Beaver, consumerist monkeys in mainstream America, questioned things, wrote, travelled as nomads... got in to the grit and had a real life, ya know? You may have heard of Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg... These were the guys that started all this buisness, I recommend HIGHLY On the Road by Kerouac or "Howl" by Ginsberg, if you are interested. Amazing, they be.

So what got me started thinking about all this is one simple state of being -
Boredom.
I mean all of us get bored. Nothing on TV, tired of the internet, none of your friends home to talk to... but I'm not talking 'go read a book' bored. I'm talking, I've been out of my mind bored for a good few weeks now, bored. I'm just tired of doing everything. Anything that formerly made me happy has been... boring me, for lack of a better word. Even my friends that I love with my whole head and select toes aren't making me snap out of it... Just the monotony of my life, it's crushing. Wake up, go to school, come home, do homework, be online, go to bed... over and over and over and over and over again, until I just want to scream... but no one would notice because they are all stuck in their monotony just like I am, some don't even notice... The last exciting thing I remember doing is breaking in to that scary barn behind the cafeteria with Didi and Jacob and Rafael - about 5 months ago. That was the last time I had any kind of... zest, at the risk of sounding dumb. I am a 15 year old girl with very observant parents and no form of income or transportation that I don't rely entirely on someone else for. Even if I WANTED to do something... I don't know, spontaneous... I couldn't. And say, say I could fend for myself and do something like that... who would come with me? No one. They are all just as hopeless and dependent as I hate myself for being. At homecoming, Kaela Zihlman wanted people to come with her to do something spontaneous... and I wanted to so so bad... but nonono, mommy will be here in twenty minutes to come take you to your nice safe reliable home... Dammit I'm just so frustrated. All of this, lack of substance in my life is leaving me entirely unfufilled and feeling ignored and I can't really do a thing to change it. Like I said before, I love my friends like family. But I don't have anyone that, if I couldn't be found, that it would make any difference for them to just go find another friend for the same purpose. Everyone I know seems to have someone that really trusts them, that they can help, or can be helped by... a boyfriend, a really close best friend... hell just someone to talk to. I'm probably wrong anyway. I doubt anyone, probably not even I, could think of someone else selflessly, help them without thought of whats in it for them...and the fact that we talk and talk and wake up and go to school and waste away online (like - hey- I'm doing right now) without getting anything really accomplished just adds to this deafening dullness...
this boredom.
but what do I know, anyway?

Damn it all to hell

Oh my god I cannot handle this…

And what’s worse is that it’s really one hundred percent my fault.

So this may sound dramatic for just homework problems. But not if you’re IB.

I not only have a fucking HARD history essay to write, but my chemistry grade is going to die. In class Monday I TOTALLY misunderstood our directions, thusly not turning in a whole LAB because I simply didn’t know I had to, and grabbing the WRONG lab for my formal write-up tonight (the one I brought home is the one I was supposed to turn in Monday.) So here I am, lab-less, my lab partner MIA or not answering her phone, all with an impossible history essay due FIRST HOUR as well. And two hours in which to sort it all out.

Quote of... Whenever I Feel Like It

"Ha, ha, you read books."
-Bart to Lisa on tonights Simpsons.

Am I Mean?

K Is it mean to mock really really bad poetry? I found this one on myspace...

Lost

Smashing in the innocence,
Leave me here with only this.
The deception of the unborn,
The fury of the over worn.

Their innocence disappears,
There use to be once music to their ears.
Smashed like a nail in wood,
There was something that always could.

Take away the sweet sounds of laughter,
And listen to the world after.
Take away their toys at play,
Watch them closely after that day.

The point is all is lost,
And put on shelves for a pricey cost.
The price of the sound of the world happy,
Shouldn’t be regretted, because one day the world will be lost,
And crappy.


pardon me but OMFG ROTFWL

need more yucky online acronyms? didnt think so.

A~P~O~C~A~L~Y~P~T~I~C~A!!!!!!!

OMG I WENT TO THE BEST CONCERT -EVER- THIS WEEK

*Crazy Metal music
*Played on cellos. (celli if you feel like being all grammatical like)
*One of them is a German robot Matrixy guy who never shows emotion.
*One is hot.
*They are Finnish.

HOLEH CRAP ARE THEY GREAT.

The First Sucky Thing to Really Happen on What Sucks Today

This is really the first sucky thing to happen on this blog since like last spring, but it is REALLY sucky...

Jordan dumped my ass.

I was so happy, too. I went out with him Saturday, and I really had a great time. I was entirely looking forward to like a decent run with that boy.

But noooooooooooo.......

And now my tres sexy homecoming dress is like totally wasted. I mean I'm still going to homecoming of course, but who really cares how hot I look there?

This is so... bad. I really don't want this to be over... but I guess I get no say in it.

From Toothpaste for Dinner

Hee so I was being nosy in some of my friends' blogs, and I saw Lauren say there existed a webcomic BETTER than questionable content. Such words are surely blasphemy. But I figured I'd check it out anyway... so here is my favorite one (Tho qC still owns me soul, sorry Lauren...)

http://www.toothpastefordinner.com/080905/carton-of-eggs.gif

So heres the link and if it doesn't pop up I'll tell you what it says:

"Sometimes I take a carton of eggs out of the fridge and look at it and think that maybe one day I'll crack an egg and a little baby chicken will fall out, and I'll wash him off and raise him indoors
and then... then I'll have a friend."

People are Strange

People are strange
when you're a stranger
Faces look ugly
when you're alone
Women seem wicked
when you're unwanted
Streets are uneven
when you're down
When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange
When you're strange
When you're strange

I'm telling you, this is an incredible song. No doubt The Doors are SO KICKASS.

Anyway...

Ha, last night I dragged out my SEP phone list and talked to Ayli for about 3 hours.... It was great, we looked at our old SEP memory books and laughed our asses off at how little Jeff looks in 2002, that kinda thing. I am SO HAPPY I get to see her tomorrow! I'm shopping 4 my homecoming dress with her, Emma and Ayli's friend Nikki, who I am stoked to meet! Ack, cuz of that, I have to go clean my grandma's to earn some more moolah to get a hott with two t's dress, so I am off!

-Kayla (is STRAAAAANGE! (yay doors!))

QUOTE OF WHENEVER I FEEL LIKE IT

ificouldfly08 [6:49 PM]: being sad in the dark listening to mcr isnt emo though
Zimgirl16 [6:50 PM]: hon, there is nothing more emo in the world
Zimgirl16 [6:50 PM]: you could be connor oberst drowning in black hair dye whilst livejournaling about a shitty breakup and you wouldnt be as emo as that

CRAZY HAPPY DANCE OF HAPPINESS!

Wow so I haven't written here since like BEFORE school started! Ack I suck. o well, you'll get over it.

So I have ginormously awesome news!

JORDAN ASKED ME TO HOMECOMING!

YAY!

It was soooo great he gave me this heart-shaped note and everything...
I don't think I've really told anyone cept Emma and Cat and the like, but I've liked hin the entire time I've known him, and this really kinda came out of nowhere, which was pretty cool, it makes me relativly certain he likes me, where as if I had asked him I would just think that he panic-yessed me.

Anyway...

Who am I kidding, I haven't thought about anything else since he asked me 8th hour... one track mind, what can I say...

-Kayla, who is quite a happy kid right now

This One Goes Out to all My Homies... Okay, I PROMISE I'll Never Say That Again

If you are not one of my friends, you should know that my friends ROCK.

If you ARE my friend...

YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love seeing my friends so much, I can't believe I survived summer without them...
I went to Emily's pool party today, at which I saw Emily, of course, Kenton, Haleh, Cat, Julia, Gorak (haha i can NOT believe that caught on) and Neil. If you are Ali and you are reading this, WHERE WERE YOU???? >_<

Anyway, it was tres cool swimming (and hottubbing, oh la la!), having HOTT lezzy sex w/ julia and cat, talking, and generally messing around with mi amigos!

I AM SOOOOO PSYCHED TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL!!! (Wow I'm a weird kid...)

-Kayla, who is quite content and at peace with the world...

sThings are coming along... tho not nicely.

Alo there friends and monkeys:

I stayed up really late last night. This webcomic that Kenton recommended called questionable content ( http://questionablecontent.net/archive.php ) I like a lot, but it's really Indie music oriented, and often mocks the music I like. I'd been keeping a list of all the bands mentioned in the comic, none of which I had ever heard of. Finally last night I went onto Amazon to sample the bands, and I'll tell you, they're different... but hella good! Amazon does free legal downloads on some bands, so I went through the list and downloaded whatever legalness had to offer me. I came up with a KickAss CD, listed here:

1. Neighborhood #3 (Power Out) - The Arcade Fire
2. The Engine Driver - The Decemberists
3. NYC - Interpol
4. He's A Mighty Good Leader - Beck
5. Hundred Stories - Aloha
6. Believo! - Enon
7. Lua - Bright Eyes
8.Without MSG I Am Nothing - McLusky
9. 2 Rights Make 1 Wrong - Mogwai
10. Banquet - Bloc Party
11. All My Friends - Pavement
12. In A Funny Way - Mercury Rev
13. Gold Mine Gutted - Bright Eyes
14. Freak Scene - Dinosaur Jr
15. He War - Cat Power

A Reminder - All of these songs are free, legal downloads on Amazon.com, but if you go to Lakewood I will gladly burn you this very CD and bring it Tuesday. For that matter, if I do happen to owe you any CDs I said I'd burn you a millenia ago, (that goes double for Lauren and Cacia, I owe you guys like a million CDs) I shall burn them ready to distract you in math the very first day!


In other news, I've been practicing my cello for a grand total of NINE hours today, to be ready for my damn chair audition the first day of school... This music is so hard I could cry... especially that damn E minor scale... I think I much deserve this BlogBreak, just as I much deserve...

A CHERRY PUSH POP THAT ISNT SPRING LOADED!!!! finally, i get cherry-flavored goodness that i have to administer by me lonesome!

S'bout all, back to tortu... i mean practice.

-Kayla, whose fingers feel like theyre gonna fall off...

Randomess #1

Today I'm feeling WAY random as can be, I can't seem to focus right on anything...

I finished a Jumbo Cherry Push Pop in an hour. I feel a bit sick. That freaking push pop was spring loaded. What is the point of buying a push pop if i don't even get to push it myself? Was some little fat kid too lazy to push his own pop? *heh, dirty minds have fun with that sentence.*
If i didn't want to push my pop, I'd have bought a friggen sucker...

I'm getting bored of my name... I think I should change it to something cooler. I'm thinking maybe Raven... cept not as in 'that's so...' even tho that show is okay... CONTEST ALERT!
THINK OF A BETTER NAME FOR ME IN A COMMENT AND I'LL GIVE YOU A NICKEL!

Now I'm chatting online with Azael (Gwen) and Kenton... He has a really good name for me... Nicoleta. It's all sexy and russian like. But Aaron says it sounds too much like nicotene.

Smoking is gross.

I wonder how cottonmouth snakes feel about being named after an allergy medicene side-affect.

My random brain leaves you with a random ayli quote.

"go in the sandwich and make me a kitchen "

-Kayla, who just got really bored.

To-Do - Back 2 School edition

1. Get a fresh supply of black and red Pilot pens. Only they will suffice. Others will be smushed.

2. Aquire new stacks of tabloids with which to make my binders look cool by means of collage.

3. Maybe find out when that pesky 'registration' is, and then see if there are any of the
textbooks i was supposed to buy happen to be lying around.

4. See if there is any hope for my comatose iPod to be working by school, as I just blew $50 bucks on a portable stereo system for my locker. *bangs empty wallet on head*

5. Attempt to recall specks of Algebra II, which I happened to have almost failed.

6. Take a whack at repairing my backpack, and maybe draw on it with some fresh silver sharpie.

7. Oh yeah, I want the rainbow sharpies like Annie has, too.

8. Accumulate hideous rumors of terror with which to terrify the incoming freshman I know with.

9. Get a new cell phone, as whilst I was away my parents Joyfully switched our service provider, thus rendering my favorite and coolest cell phone ever useless. Camera phone, you will be missed.

10. Wasn't there some kind of 9 essays I was supposed to be doing?


- Kayla, who chooses not to be prepared because thats what boy scouts do and boy scouts are creepy and being smote by God.

All These Humans and Not a Bite to Eat...

Hello faithful web-zombies -

Call me crazy, but I don't like summer vacation. It's too easy to be ignored when there are no people around. It's really just an excuse to not have to talk to somone for two and a half months and then still have them like you when you get back to school. Can you imagine what would happen if you didn't speak to your friend from September to Mid-December? While in school, namely? Lines of communication would permanently be downed, never to be re-established.

It is something a few of my close friends know about me; I cannot stand being ignored. Hate me, fine, bitch me out, great, at least you acknowledge me and that you have an opinion about me. It sucks to be ignored by those you don't like; its one-hundred times worse to think someone is a really close friend and then for them to never acknowledge you as as close as you may feel to them. That exact senario has been plaguing me for the whole summer. My game plan is when school starts again I can be obnoxiously obviously present. Because I am just cool like that.

And then there was LIFE

Yes, friends and stalkers, it is finally come to pass. My parents have re-bestowed upon me the sacred rite of... internet!!!

As my first act of joining the fake world, I read Kenton's blog. And somehow it reminded me that I have a place out there where I used to talk to the world. It was called a blog. So with the new Kentonian inspiration under my belt, I started off on my retelling of my life and thoughts. haha, you are screwed.

So If you know me at all, you prolly know that I spent the last 2 weeks at my favorite place in the world, SEP. I would try to explain why its so special, but i tried to explain to my friend Travis and I think his head fell off. In short, it is a camp built for us 'smart' nerds to come and frolick with other nerds. Everyone there accepts you, and its a weird feeling, but its nice too. I made some crazy good friends, was introduced to some great books and music, hyper extended my knee so i couldnt walk on it for 2 days w/o crazy limpage, and I shoved Jello into places my roomate didnt know she had. Good times, good times.

And now to avoid the whole making you all read too much thing, I'll depart.

Mitch Hedberg is Dead

Yeah, not a lot of people have heard of him. Mitch Hedberg was this really awesome comedian guy. He was on comedy central a few times and said many a funny thing. Some of the best Mitch Hedberg quotes:

"I haven't slept for ten days, because that would be too long."

"I wish I could play little league now. I'd be way better than before."

"I would imagine if you understood Morse Code, a tap dancer would drive you crazy."

"I played golf....I did not get a hole in one, but I did hit a guy and that's way more satisfying. Your supposed to yell FORE, but I was too busy mumbling that ain't no way that's gonna hit him."

"I wrote a letter to my dad- I wrote, I really enjoy being here. But I accidently wrote rarely, instead of really. But I still wanted to use it, so I crossed it out and wrote I rarely drive steamboats, Dad. There's a lot you don't know about me. Quit trying to act like I'm a steamboat operator. This letter took a harsh turn right away."

"The depressing thing about tennis is that no matter how much I play, I'll never be as good a a wall. I played a wall once. They're relentless."

"I like rice. Rice is great if your hungry and want 2000 of something."

"I was at this casino minding my own business and this guy came up to me and said your gonna have to move you're blocking a fire exit. As if there were a fire, I wasn't gonna run. If you are flamable and have legs you are never blocking a fire exit."

"I'm sick of following my dreams. I'm just going to ask them where they're going and hook up with them later."

"I was walking down the street with my friend and he said "I hear music" As though there's another way you can take it in. Your not special. That's how I recieve it too. I tried to taste it, but it did not work."

"One time a guy handed me a picture of himself and he said. "Here's a picture of me when I was younger." Every picture of you is when you were younger. Here's a picture of me when I'm older. How'd you pull that off? Let me see that camera."

"I think pickles are cucumbers that sold out."

"I get the Reese's candy bar, If you read it, there's an apostrophe. The candy bar is his. I didn't know that. Next time your eating a Reese's and some guy named Reese comes up to you and says let me have that. You better give it to him. I'm sorry Reese, I didn't think I would ever run into you."

"Y'know I order a club sandwhich all the time. And I'm not even a member. I don't know how I get away with it. I like my sanwhiches witth three peices of bread. So do I. Lets form a club. Okay, but we're gonna need more stipulation. Yes we do. Instead of cutting it once, lets cut it again. Yeah, four triangles. And we shall dump chips in the middle. Let me ask you something, how do you feel about frilly toothpicks? I'm for them."

"I brought a donut and the guy gave me a recieipt for the donut. I don't need a receipt for the donut, I give you the money, you give me the donut, end of transaction. We do not need to bring ink and paper into this. I can not imagine the senerio where I would have to prove that I broughrt a donut. Some skeptical friend. Don't even act like I didn't get that donut. I got the documentation right here."

"When you go a resturant on the weekends it's busy so they start a waiting list. They say Dufrane, party of two, table ready for Dufrane, party of two , and if no one answers they'll say the name again, Dufrane, party of two. Bu then if no one answers, they'll move on to the next name. Bush party of three. Yeah, but what happened to the Dufranes, No one seems to care, who can eat at a time like this? People are missing. You people are selfish. The Dufranes are in someone's trunk right now ,with duct tape over their mouths and they're hungry.That's a double whammy! We need help! Bush search party of three. You can eat once you find the Dufranes."

Johnny Cochran Is Dead

This morning, a very important lawyer and pseudo celebrity passed away. Some of you may know Johnny Cochran from the OJ trial. He was OJ's lawyer. And a damn good one, he won THAT case! He was a pretty cool guy. He also defended P. Diddy (ha ha) and won at that too. As a good show of character, he started doing a lot of pro bono, a bonus. Its like, "I can't pay for a lawyer. That's okay, here's Johnny Cochran. It sucks that he died. Johnny Cochran quote:
"The glove doesn't fit, you MUST equit!"

RIP Mr. Cochran

School administrators (suck)

Yes they do soooo much. They've gone on a power trip. They just want to keep taking away the very few rights we DO have as teenagers, one by one. We can't dress how we want. We can't read what we want. We can't THINK what we want. We especially can't SAY what we want, God Forbid. This atrocious act could be so DANGEROUS, why would we ever want to let people speak their mind? Or even joke around, that is just a foreshadow to DOOM.
Ridiculous.
And the worst part is, we can't do a thing about it. We mostly don't even NOTICE it at all, we're too busy trying not to 'violate' any of their ridiculous rules. Sometimes it even takes the loss of a very good friend to these power-tripping paranoids to wake us up to it.
Like it or not, the public school system is (not as slowly as we think) becoming a dictatorship. And we are just the voiceless saps along for the ride.

A very very betrayed feeling ranter

Music fans (suck)

The other night I was listening to the radio and everything sounded so... blah. So I decided to go online and discover new (to me, at least) bands. Amazon plays samples of songs, so I went there. I realized I had no idea what music was new to me, so I went to the suggested lists, where people gloat their 'amazing' cd collections...
and let me tell you, music fans, ESPECIALLY punk rock fans, are the meanest, most annoying and judgemental people EVER! All they ever do is bad mouth music that doesn't make it on to their 'acceptable lists' and the people that listen to them. I can guarantee you, they aren't as holy and all knowing as they think they are, they probably listened to all that music they're hating on like last year, until someone they wanted to impress told them it was made by sell outs, or 'not real punk,' or what ever other insult they like.
One band I noticed that was often dissed was Blink-182, which happens to be one of my favorite bands. I can admit, they have lost some of their former greatness, and its a bit shameful they make more off of merchandising than their music, but I do remember that I have liked them, and I know I'm not capable of playing or writing like they do, so I shouldn't judge them. Besides, people say they hate them for changing their sound on the last CD. What were they supposed to do, keep remaking the same songs?
Anyway, I am not one to put down bands I like just because other people are. I even stand by music I now realize isn't genius, or even bad. I will proudly stand and say it!
I HAVE LIKED BACKSTREET BOYS!
I LIKED THE SPICE GIRLS!
I KNOW EVERY WORD TO EVERY SONG ON THE GOOD CHARLOTTE CD!
and I LIKED THE NEW AND LAST BLINK - 182 CD!!!

and I still do. Every once in awhile I've been known to rock out to a Backstreet Boys CD in my headphones, even if I tell people its The Ramones.

STAND BY YOUR MUSIC!

THE GREATNESS OF OUR FUTURE LEADER, ABI BONNER!

It has been called to my attention that in the long life of my website, I have yet to praise the very reason we are all still on this Earth - ABI BONNER!
Yes, she is indeed the highest and most worthy being to ever grace us with her presence! Her stunning beauty radiates around her like a radioactive glow, her voice is that of an angel, and she is the most knowledgeable, all knowing goddess we could ever hope to recieve on this planet! (except for her sad mistakenness on the awesomeness of blink-182, but no one is perfect.) But Abi sure comes close. So us lowly peasants simply await the day of her coming in her pink el camino with the flower bed in the back to TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!!

I Love my phosphates, back off.
-My mom, when I offered her some all natural soda.

Near Death Experience! (Yeah, it sucked)

so i had quite the near death experience here.
I was talking to Brad anderson, and he said that he and jenny and his friend kyle were going to the promenade on wednesday, so i should come meet him. id been talking to kyle since about six months ago, and he seemed cool, just a little 'wild an crazy' (lol im a nerd) with minor drinking (ew) and pyromanic tendencies.
so i got there and kyle is this hideous beast in a creepy trenchcoat, and he kept lighting his jacket on fire and patting it out with his hands(!) and when he got bored he pulled out 3 pocket knives and started juggling with them. Jenny an i were horrifyed, and i kept leaning over her, going (HE IS CRAAAAZY! LIKE A MOOSE!!) and we were shaking in our little boots.

of course, he had to fall in love with me. (waaaaah! pity meeee!)

So last night I was online and he.... ASKED ME OUT!!!
Exact wording:
Kyle: So i wanted to ask you something
Me: ?
Kyle: um, nvmd.
Me: no tell me
Kyle:what are you doing at like 7 or 8 tomorrow?
Me: (IN STATE OF SHEER PANIC) um, actually, Kyle, I'm seeing someone. (LIES!!!)
Me: we sort of just got together last night
Kyle: oh, I shouldve expected that. Whats his name?
Me: uh he goes to my school, i dont thikn you'd know him
Kyle: I knew you'd be with someone. You are awesome and hott (2 T's! Hes so sweet...)
Me: Eh? ack not really
Kyle: u could get any guy u wanted (cha, any guy on his wing of the psych ward)
Me: thats nice of u to say.um, sorry again
Kyle: um, if you hadnt met someone last night, do you think your answer would be different? (jeez, is he like planning on kidnapping me in like a time machine???)
Me: eh, I don't think so... I'm really not into stuff like you know, violence and drinking, and you seem to be. (God I'm going to be murdered)
Kyle: I was just bored during the movie! (Oh good so whenever you get bored with me you are going to set me on fire)
Me: well u know, we only really ever talk online, since u go 2 SLHS
Kyle: I suppose. I'm going to fix myself a drink. (AAAAAHHHHH!!!! HIM CRAZY = VERY YES!!)

he is scary. i am scared of him. not only is he crazy pyro boy, he is also under some crazy idea that sane guys take intrest in me. lol

The Revolution of Condiment Containers

Today I was watching daytime TV and eating animal crackers like the cool kid I am when suddenly I became aware of a new revolution sweeping the wide world of condiments. Yes, folks, an innovative new lid for your mayonaisse (sic) has arrived that is made of plastic and has a little protector rim so you don't have to get your fingers all mayo-y when you make a yummy sandwich. You can also scrape your knife on it.
Does this qualify as a revolution? I think not.
Maybe a revolution for getting even more crumbs in your mayo. Ew. According to Emma, this is not gross. It most certainly is.
TOP 5 THINGS IT IS GROSS TO GET CRUMBS IN!!!!
5. Peanut Butter
4.Jelly.
3. Your mom
2. Mayo
1. Butter

Yeah, I'm cool.

What sucks - In music

Bands/ Singers that suck -

1. AVRIL LAVIGNE wins the sucky contest. Bad voice, horrendous lyrics, icky hair.
2. Ashlee Simpson is a close second. even worse voice, lyrics that actually include LA LA.
3. Christina - icky slutty whore. gives bad (okay, worse) name to teeny boppers everywhere.
4. Britney. need i say more?
5. Jessica Simpson - not acutally that pretty. no real problem with her, shes just annoying. and related to ashlee.
Are you seeing a pattern here?
6. Good Charlotte - Okay I'll admit I loved the lifestyles of the rich and famous CD when i first got it. It took me awhile to realize they are lameness sellouts and their new CD just proved how ridiculous they are.
7. Rap/R+B girls - Ashanti's song says 'baby' no less than 37 times. in 3 minutes.


More sucky music will be noted as it emerges.

Moving In

The new home of WHAT SUCKS TODAY is much better, if I say so myself.

* It is much prettier than its former home on stupid Angelfire. Angelfire is honorably the first thing that sucks today

*The place is quite airy, and roomy. More room to gripe.

*I shall update this site WAY more than its former counterpart.

ON WITH THE SHOW!!!

What WHAT SUCKS TODAY is all about

We (being I, Kayla) at What Sucks Today are here to provide the adoring public with a comprehensive list of things that suck in music movies and mass media, in school and study, and whatever else pops into my cute little head. ^_^
