Rant time! ( Updated )
And thats not a bad thing by the way Jess
Here. I will rant about everyone that makes me mad. Because I can. Ha
1. People who pretend to be something there not.
You know the typical. Punk, Indie music snob, The stereotype of "emo" ( which is a whole other catagory in itself. Not the people. The stereotype ), prep, skater
Just anyone in general where its insanly obvious there putting on a show
" Rawr im punk..F bush because hes a nazi. Even though I know nothing about politics. Im loud so listen to me REBEL AGAINST THE SYSTEM "
" Man I have this band I love but I wont even bother saying the name because you know...youve probably never heard of them because there so underground "
" Im an emo kid, I dont even know what emo means so im going to go write poetry and cry because thats what I think emo means"
" ah HA I have a boyfriend!"
" I carry a skateboard around but dont actually skate...im such a rebel"
Anyone whos identity consists of feeding off of other people they know and not finding something for themselves. That makes me mad as well. I mean get a mind of your own and stop stealing who other people are!
2. People who pretend like they know so much about music
Iv been through this. People who wear those "the doors" and "rolling stones" shirts from bluenotes should be shipped off to an island and left there to die.
honestly my #1 pet peeve
I mean. I think its ok if they listen to the band. But dont pretend. I cannot count how many times iv said to someone
"can you name 3 pink floyd songs" and they replyd " no I just thought the shirt looked cool"
Even more annoying is when people pretend to know what there talking about. You know those people im talking about listing all these bands they like but when you ask whats their favorite song by them they say "oh iv only heard one song"
I love oasis, Wonderwall rocks! is my least favorite phrase Besides like...Whos bob dylan?......... * stabbed*
I mean im not claiming to know all there is about music. Or else I would totally be a hypocrite. Because I really don't.
I mean its an area I have an intrest in and I know some things to the point where I know if people are BSing
3. People who are close minded and niave
This is a second pet peeve of mine
1st of all in the area of music. “ I hate that band”
“have you heard them?”
“Well, no”
*Axed*
And before you start calling me a hypocrite. I have tried listening to country, I listen to it frequently when im with carrie. And iv established I don’t like it. I like a few songs but that’s it
Second in the area of not knowing about something or someone and making an automatic judgement, for example
*sees someone who is a “partier” walking down the street*
“Oh I bet there drunk”
Yes….Because that’s what everyone who drinks is like during the week and all the time on weekends. Walking around by themselves drunk
Or even when people assume what its like at parties. And they make the assumption everyone there drinks so much they all are puking and passing out all over the place., Like I mean, It happens…but not ALL the time. Theres such thing as a party that the cops don’t crash.
Or when people assume someone who parties is mean and obnoxious.
I think some of the nicest people I know are “partiers”
And lastly when people say things like
“their gay, write a letter to your prime minister discussing your rage”
first of all. Thanks for speaking for me and saying that it in fact enrages me. Im glad your making up my mind about the issue.
The fact is, it doesn’t. It doesn’t affect me and the only thing I can do is tolerate it.
Im not saying I agree with it. But I mean. Arent we supposed to “love your neighbour as yourself”
That’s what I thought anyways.
4. People who get everything handed to them on a silver platter ,And still complain!!
I dont think i need to say anything else on this subgect except...
"Daaaaddy im sick of the new sweater you bought me....buy me another one"
"Daaaaddy buy me that car?, Ew its the wrong color take it back"
"I dont have enough clothes" *pout*
Enough said. Im getting a little too worked up. haha

A kiss on your molten eyes
Lacking of sleep. But good.
Nothing like a weekend at Kadesh when the sun is shineing, the aqua is blasting and your getting all relaxed and sleepy on the couches outside. it was honestly a prefect day.
I thought Getting up at 5 that morning to watch the sun rise over the lake was totaly worth it as well. ( Dispite the fact I only got an hour of sleep )Sunrises are so much better than sunsets.
For everyone who reads this blog that isnt from saskatchewan ( Which...I doubt there is any ) My sky kills your sky. I promise.
Although I fell asleep on the couch outside and got woken up by the rain and the idea that I missed supper. The day was amazing.
In other news, This evening I dragged myself out of my house ignoring that I was dead tired and went on an adventure with my rollerblades featuring musical guests the shins.
It was a much needed activity. Nothing beats gliding around town while listening to some good tuneskies while the sun is going down. This has become almost a daily ritual for me and its feelin great. So refreshing.
You guys. Go. Leave the house and go rollerblading right now, I know it looks awkward flopping all over the place trying to stay balanced when you run into those stupid gravel bits. But come on, ....they're shoes on wheels. That should be insentive enough.
Oh yah. Heres a picture of me looking like a dink with my new haircut and massive studs if you guys havent seen it yet.
Hurrah!
Edit: pictures taken out because i decided it was gross and it looked alot shorter than it was. for those who seen the picture before. it was up in a ponytail. i swear, haha

The story of the lonliest girl in the world

One night a boy named David came to the bus stop in hopes of catching it in time to make it to his favorite late night screening of memoiores of geshia

Just then his friend Greg approached the bus stop, in a panic david quickly tried to think of an excuse for why he was there.....

There was no need. Greg quickly confessed he was also going and so the two quickly jumped into an argument with each other to see who has seen it more times.
Greg said "lets take this outside. we have at least 15 minutes before the bus comes"
Just as Greg was about to make David eat some pavement they noticed someone approaching the bus stop...Someone...grotesque

Realizing all the seats were taken the girl quietly stood beside david. David was beginning to feel overly awkward with this creepy specimen standing beside him. ( haha aw i actually do look kind of creepy )

So he made a break for it. Hed rather run to his movie then spend another moment in that plastic chamber with that girl

What the heck!?
exclaimed the girl and greg
How you doin' The girl says aloud
Oh no....NO!!! greg is now thinking. She didnt just sit beside me....she couldnt have....
Greg is now staring out the window at david in the distance...hes got an idea....That might just work...
...

Crud.

And the bus never came....

The future freaks me out.
Im too concernd with the future....seriously, theres no way im going to change things in the future if I dont start fixing things in the here and now
I cant do great things without a starting point, Im thinking these things just spring up out of the blue and everything is magically going to mend and work itself out if I just let it do its thing. Life doesnt work like that....Nothing works like that. Who am I kidding? Things wont magically unfold before my very eyes. Thats stupid that I have to tell myself that. Honestly. Does anything ever work out that way?
I live my life for the next hour. The next Month, The next year.
Why. Whats the point in that? I should just live my life where it is right now in the present.
Eventually the future isnt going to be the future anymore and whats left to live for?
Sounds like the most logical/ (ill admit) cliche thing to do, Aside from the fact of it being super cliche..Why dont I do it?
Maybe im sick of having to deal with things I thought were fixed and Id never have to deal with again.
Maybe I dont HAVE the words of comfort or reason for anyone right now.
Maybe I cant make a diffrence here
Or maybe im just too selfish.
Man who am I kidding...scratch that maybe.
That needs to change before anything else.

Metric + Blake Sennet = Hooray!
I woke up and I felt like a 2 meter high pile of crap. I was throwing up ( Which I haven't done in like 4 years ) And im curled up on my couch wrapped in a blanket shaking while im thinking "....must.....go.....to metric....tonight "
It took almost the whole day to shake off my sickness ( or at least convince myself that I shook it off ) and 7:45 rolled around!
I was feeling better and ready to have a fun night with brooke starting off by going to earls for cheesecake.
Im all pumped I get in the car and start for the city looking at very wrong directions to this restraunt iv never been to.
I think all is fine and dandy until I realize im horribly lost ( haha your probably suprised THAT happend )
I look at the clock and im at least 15 minutes late to I park and call my parents to ask for directions. After about another 5 - 10 minutes I finally find earls but I have to park 3 blocks down because Its packed.
I come running up to the door and found out Brooke has been there since 8 because she thought I said 8 instead of 8:30, We dont know if he have enough time now so we ask if we can cancel our spot to go somewhere else but they squeeze us in anyways.
By this time im calmed down and having a good time when Brooke brings up that she almost forgot her ticket. Right then time stood still and like a million thoughts crashed into my head at once " CRAP!!!!!!!! I FORGOT MY TICKET!!!!"
Panic strikes....45 minutes to the show...and no ticket.
So we tell the waitress thanks for squeezing us in....but we have to go.. the freakin idiot forgot her freakin ticket.
By this time im feeling so horrible I just want to die. So I call my parents ( who are also in the city ) to inform them of my retarded situation and my mom offers to go get it for us.
Great, But we cant go back into earls. We just left. So what do we do? Go to dairy queen! its not cheesecake but hey.
I finally got my ticket ( after slamming my head in the car door ) and we rush off to the concert , the first band is already playing but thats ok they arent really that great.
Its packed and no one has a sense of personal space as with every other concert.
This is where my day starts to turn around
We find out the elected is opening and I didnt realize that the elected contains the one and only Blake Sennate from Rilo Kiley ( with a nasty pimp stash ). Im now giddy as a 12 year old girl seeing Nsync.
They were amazing and Blake reminds me of Jack white and Connor Oberst at the same time for some reason.
After the show he stood by my for a minute and I had an overwhelming urge to hug him and scream but I figured I wouldnt because you know...that MIGHT be creepy.
Then Metric comes on....Oh wow. I think my mouth was open the entire time. Emily Haines is my hero, shes so cool....I could say a million things about the concert but this has been long enough so Im going to end off by some pictures of my heros that actually turned out decent for how far back we were. And by saying if your ever at a concert and someone is very close behind you to the point touching you half the time…Please….PLEASE don’t shake your butt the whole time..Its REALLY awkward.

Control
Leave me to dream and walk on by
Im not up for the challenge of living today
Iv fallen victim to another stereotype this week.
If you think you know who I am. you dont. I! dont even know who I am
Highschool is flying by so fast lately.
You would think I would be excited but it just leaves more uncertainty and stress exposed as the days are slowly decreasing before everyone ( including myself ) expects me to have my life all together.
Everything that I thought was going to fall nicely in place is falling everywhere but where its supposed to.
Why cant one thing in my life go without uncertainty or somewhat along the lines of what I expect
But I guess its not about what I expect. Its about what God has planned
And thats harder for me to accept than you might think.
I like to be in control of things, and just to show me. Hes taken that comfortable steering wheel with the super sporty cover and the breaks have been cut.
Sometimes I wish the Lord didnt work in mysterious ways. But that wouldnt be any fun.
I couldnt imagine not being able to go hurdling down a hill at a very high speed without steering or breaks.
Its exhilerating but at the same time you just want it all to stop before you launch off the cliff and smash into the canyon at the bottom.
*Girlish scream*
"EEEE!! Oh man oh man oh man!, I just found out the greatest thing on earth!!!"
*Prances around waving hands while his elbows are planted on his side*
Then he shows me this.

Edit: Crud....the link doesnt work. Well its a Simpsons Movie
All I have to say is. I have mixed emotions, Because the rate that theyre going with new episodes I think we are all going to be very dissapointed.
Why couldnt this have been done during like...season 4-6?
Who knows.
