Sweat No More: The Long Awaited, Much Deserved Liberation from Dirty Dishes, Dirty Socks, Dirty Underwear (I’m Gonna Miss Our Afternoons) 9:36 PM

Current listen: Broken Door by Bedlight for Blue Eyes

“..it was simple back then, looking out the same old window... the world seemed smaller bigger then.”

At long, long last the maid’s back from her holiday. No more housework for this kid! No more washing up after every meal, no more hanging up the laundry, no more getting told off for leaving my room in a state of devastation, no more hour-long lectures about how I don’t know how to keep the house decent, no more having to sleep in my own dirt, no more dust dunes accumulating on my stuff, so much dust that you can practically make dust angels if you wanted to. No more housework! Oh, hell yeah.

****

I’m Queen of All Procrastination. Someone overthrow me.

Where’s my iPod?

Mothertrucker. I’ve turned this thing into a Twitter! Which reminds me... I’ve made a Twitter!

Well, I’m in no state to write about much right now, maybe later. I’m gonna go watch Definitely, Maybe now (yes, I finally got the DVD last weekend after waiting ever so impatiently for it). I find that I can possibly learn something decent from it and apply it to real life and get myself out of the hellhole I’m in right now.

The Very Center, Dead Center Of Epicality. 6:02 PM

“..Last Saturday was awesome even though James kept shaking my seat like hell and all Rona could do was giggle bout it but still it was an amazing night, Chepi played like a rockstar. I enjoyed the company of Rona; if she wasn’t there I'd be alone the whole time. I like the way Chepi strummed the guitar, it was so professional. She made a good comeback for 'Zombie', just in case you were wondering she was playing lead. All the songs Chepi played were good and she did well [Congrats!! again Chepi]. I also liked the way the lead guitarist played 'Sweet Child o’ Mine' and the way the other girl sang 'Zombie' and 'Sweet Child Of Mine'. Me and Rona agreed the guy wearing the red cap and with a scarf around him sang pretty badly but overall the concert was good. At the end of the show we all went vain with Chepi and also got high well cause Chepi did such a good job. Then I got hugged to death by Aneesah, guess my best friend misses me a lot [I hope you become a rockstar Chels].”
-Kevin E.; Seriousness & Randomness

Chepi. Cheps. To think that I haven’t grown out of that pet name, I’m not in the 6th grade anymore! I blame you Rona. Hahaha, kidding. You though, aren’t allowed to call me that. Yes, you.

And so it was. The concert was, yes, very much at the center of epicality. Saturday night, 22nd November was one of the awesomest nights ever. And the saddest, much as well. If you didn’t make it, take the shame then, it was a blast. The whole show was frigging awesome & I didn’t really mess it up at all and everyone else was bloody amazing, pardon the vulgarity. (Except the sound tech guy, he didn’t do his job right. The friggin’ guitars were louder than the vocalists, I could barely hear them at times >< And SOMEONE didn’t turn off the heavy distortion off the guitar during the mellow songs! Mellow songs.)

Everyone rocked on stage, okay, so maybe not everyone, Rona’s convinced the little kids were a little lost on stage. But everything else, everyone else deserves an encore. And the Broadway bit was great, minus the off-tune parts here and there, but all the opera-ing and Vitas-like vocalizing was fuggen’ good.

Besides the necessity of a little more melioration here and there, Saturday night’s show was AWESOME. Hell yeah. It was epic. Highlight of the end of the year, most definitely, for me I mean. I won’t ever forget that night.

Although, I can’t believe what we’ve rehearsed for, for more than a couple of months, is now over. Like, wow. It hasn’t sunk in that much yet. It’s like, that’s it? I mean, yeah it was amazing but...it seemed too soon to be over already.

And oh God, everyone else I’ve met, I miss them like hell already. And it’s only been 2 days =.= I guess I’ve just gotten so used to seeing them every day at rehearsals, all the fun and all the memories. All the silly little things we laughed over, all the mellow moments, the awkward ones, all the junk food I am now inevitably sick of (I’ll never look at chips the same way again), and all the awesome new faces.

I don’t wanna sound cliché but you do get it. Because of this concert, I met people, different, entirely different & amusing people (not to mention too-gifted people as well, honestly, seems everyone at Neo knows how to play at the least three instruments, AND sing, I am so out of place). People I would definitely remember for life. The past week till Saturday night, the friends I’ve made, I’ll never forget.

The scenes backstage were definitely not the kind of thing you’d expect just before a concert’s about to begin. The guys were playing Chinese poker, betting money at one point, the girls were jamming on New York, gummy sharks were being passed around (by yours truly), air-conditioned rooms were fought over and dressing room doors opened much to the embarrassment of almost-naked guys whose dignity and pride are covered only by a lousy pair of boxers. I reckon they should try LOCKING the door =.= Haha. Though some were just a tad bit tense, everyone else was cool.

Oh, and I wanna thank Qawi, Izwan, your cousin (I forgot her name, please don’t hate me), Aikks, Josh, Kev and Rona for coming. I can honestly say that the people sitting around you guys would never want to sit next to you again. Hahaha, you guys were awesome as well, thanks for all the support. I just got my taste of fame, I blame you. Seriously, these guys, were frigging screaming my name like mad everytime I came on stage.

I’d go on, and suddenly I’d hear someone screaming “Chelsea!! CHELSAYYYYY!!!!!” and it is just madly touching, I feel like Obama now. Okay, hard to relate, well he DOES have a lot of supporters and I’m pretty sure people screamed his name when he came on stage. Hahahaha, AND they wrote my name all over the covers of the concert magazines, and held it in the air. I feel loved. Thanks you guys, couldn’t have made it without your support. *coughcough*

Haha, people were going to me saying, “Dude, did you see those banners with your name on them? Wow, and those people were screaming your name!” Haha. Loved, yep, definitely loved. Thanks a lot fellas!

Saturday was indeed an amazing night, and oh, how I wish that that day didn’t have to end. Right after the show, I had everyone sign off my shirt, with an awfully memorable scene while at it, and Neesah gave us each a rose. Classic, innit? Love ya Neesah! You were amazing as well, though you did look a lot like Victoria from New Moon. Hahahaha :D

After the concert, Rona, Aikks & Kev crashed at my place for a bit and Rona slept over. Just like everytime I slept over at her place, I didn’t get any sleep at all. Probably because my system was still filled with the blood rush from an *cough* epic scene backstage, from last night. I blame [insert name here] :pp Oh, and of course the adrenaline also still filled my gut, I was pretty high on Friday and Saturday night and couldn’t stop jumping about and blinding everyone with Nina’s camera flash during rehearsals.

Speaking of hyperactivity and incessant running around, there was this one kid who ran into the huge wooden door backstage and sort of split his forehead in half :S NOT THE WHOLE THING, DAMMIT, the skin sort of split and all and there was blood all over the frigging threshold. Bloody hell man (no pun intended). God, I hope he’s alright now, don’t want his parents, I think his name was Job, don’t want Job’s parents suing the Amphitheatre, or worse yet, the school. Nahhh.

Ah, the memories of that night, the ones that don’t include having your forehead fragmented in two, were awfully wonderful.

All the same, I can’t tell you how I wish the concert didn’t have to be over. I’m pretty much looking forward to the next shindig we’re gonna have together. I love you guys to death, you rock :D

Um, when I say ‘you guys’, you oughta know I’m referring to the lot of you from the concert. I owe you guys a lot for everything, death to separation! Hugs and misses.

(Just so you know, this was my sort of like, debut concert as a musician, before then all I did was sing and I wasn’t very good at it either. So thanks to everyone, and I do mean EVERYONE involved, it was a pleasure, a high-ride the whole time. Oh, and of course, my mates who made it, you guys made me feel so awesome, thanks a lot for the love & support!! You’ve no idea how much I appreciate it! And when I do get famous someday, you can go around saying, “Yeah, I’ve been to her first major concert.” Go crazy. Love ya.)

The Show Must Go On. Heck Yeah, But What I Wouldn't Give For Rehearsals To Go On As Well. 2:22 PM

The Show Must Go On. Oh But, Can’t We Have Still Have Rehearsals After?

Chuaneee 21-Nov-08 11:32 PM
My mom said she’s gonna make sandwiches and muffins for tomorrow. PS Calvin, still bring your snacks and Nina, it’s non-halal, do you mind?

Chels 21-Nov-08 11:35 PM
You’re so weird =.= As long as they’re ain’t any pork in it, Nina should be fine. Haha, Alright, see you tomorrow Chuan. PS Thanks a LOT for the credit :D:D:D

Chuaneee 21-Nov-08 11:40 PM
Haha. Don’t mention it. Pork sandwiches and pork muffins? DUSGUSTING.

Joeeey 22-Nov-2008 12:10 AM
Haha sure I’ll wait. Yea, I’m anxious as well. Tomorrow is such a big day, yet a sad day for me as well.. As I’ll miss ALL of you guys a lot. Especially this group of ours.

Chels 22-Nov-2008 12:12 AM
I know right ;( I feel so sad! >< Gahh! Well, exchange numbers and emails :D Keep in touch of course! I’M SO GONNA MISS EVERYONE :(

Neena 22-Nov-08 11:26 AM
I’m not sure if I can make it at 2. I’ll text you, cause I’m doing my hair next to the mall XD PS. Chuan is tall and evil at the same time ><

****

Honestly. With these guys, I just wanna have rehearsals & practice over and over.

This is it fellas. The concert’s on tonight at 7:30. I’m so psyched. It’s sure as hell gonna be a big night yet a sad one, ending on a melancholy note. Dang it. I’m gonna miss everyone, EVERYONE. It’s just so sad, that after tonight, we won’t be seeing each other much after that. Especially my new found friends, we’re like a family.

It’s amazing how this concert’s brought us together, Neesah, Nina, Haylie, Chuan, Calvin & of course, Joey (Quack). Hahaha. We’re like a family, like I said. There’s Neesah, awesome singer (she can go opera) and friend, she’s actually the vocalist for Kev’s band. Nina, the heavy metal girl, and goodness, all she can think about if food. Mmm. Food. And Chuan & Calvin, bloody nice fellas, Chuan even gave me $20 bucks worth of credit FOR FREE, can’t get enough of their one-liners, funny without even trying. There’s also Haylie, Chuan’s cousin, she’s a pianist. And Joeey! He’s like 19 and seems to act as the designated driver and takes us anywhere (mostly for food, I swear), he’s one AWESOME singer, he can friggin’ go Vitas man, and sadly, he’s leaving for Australia, college I guess ;( Things would’nt be the same without anyone of them.

Not to mention EVERYONE else I met during the concert. The JIS girls: Ching, really awesome girl, Yaz, so far the most talented guitarist I’ve met, she kinda topped Mina. Heh, sorry. She’s a frucking fatality on the guitar (you’ll see her play in Sweet Child o’ Mine, she officially plays Slash, I’m doing Izzy). There’s Camille, one of Neo’s unique female drummers and Ling, who’s like the Nicholle of JIS. HAHA. She’s nice :)

Basically, most of the new people I’ve met are from JIS. There’s Idrous, awesome fella, sings like mad, you can go up to him for help in relationships, loads of experience from his past boyfriends, yes, boyfriends :S There’s Aaron, effing great drummer. He always makes me feel queasy just standing there. HAHAHA. Nahh, I know this dude even before the whole Neoclassic thing and I honestly have NO idea why. It’s driving me mad trying to find out how I know him! I sound deranged.

There’s Veenia, you people should see this kid, she’s like 12 and her vocal skills are AMAZAZING. There’s Mikaela, she’s 6 and kicks ass at drums. Speaking of drummers, there’s this one kid, Amalie I think, she drums as well and she’s 7. I call her the Devil Child. She spat her tuna sandwich all over me, and apologized after I strangled her. >< But we’re cool now, she’s been uber nice to me after the whole why-did-you-puke-your-food-all-over-me-for-heaven’s-sake epidode.

There are a LOT more people and these are just a few of the awesomest people there. Everyone is talented beyond words and simply amazing.

It’s definitely bittersweet, in every sense of the word. All the laughter, food, puke. Hahaha. Man, I think I’m gonna cry. I just can’t expect anyone to comprehend how awesome these past few days have been, especially rehearsals at the Amphitheatre. All the things we got into, yeah, I really think I’m gonna cry. This concert’s brought us all together and I can’t find a way to express how awesome everything has been with these guys. And it’s not fair that we all got close only at the last few rehearsals and it’s all gonna end tonight. I tell you, these guys, you’ll never find another bunch like them. They’re awesome. Hell yeah, they’re that awesome.

And I can’t even begin to retell all the scenes we had on stage, offstage and especially, BACKSTAGE. All the things we laughed at, you know how it is when you find an awesome group of mates you can totally relate to and you guys share all these more-than-just-funny instants. Really, I can’t write all those scenes down because there are just too many (and besides, I might make less amusing than it sounded firsthand). But these guys, these awesome new friends of mine, everyone I’ve met, are simply the best. Period. They are awesome and I love them to pieces. We’re family now.

Not to mention, they’re all musicians; singers, guitarists, drummers, pianists, bassists, violinists, clarinettists alike. It’s amazing how music dragged us all together. These mates, these friends I’ve found, I’m sure as hell gonna remember them for life (I’m trying to sound mellow, apparently, it’s not working right).

Without everyone else, rehearsals would be a thousand times lonely and boring. You can say I look forward to practice entirely because of them. Oh and they’re practically the reason I’m so sick of junk food right now. For the last week, all I ever ate for dinner was Ruffles, Pringles, Cheetos, Doritos, marshmallows in chocolate syrup, chocolate syrup, gummy worms, iced tea, Dad’s Root Beer, Coke, chicken balls & nuggets and of course, Subway cookies & muffins fresh from Missouri. Or was it Florida? Well it’s basically all junk food, everything else that makes you fat. =.= Not that it’s a problem for me, high metabolism rate and all but yeah, I won’t be surprised if everyone else has gained at least a couple of pounds after the whole shindig. God, I love these guys.

Definitely. We’ve gone so far for things to end, so I’m certainly, 100% surely not gonna let it stop there. Well. I’m so betting I’m gonna break down tonight, after the curtains close. So anyway, the concert would be on tonight, at 7:30 PM at the Amphitheatre (don’t ask me either where or which, we only have ONE in this entire country, at least, I think so). You’ll see me playing in Sweet Child O’ Mine, My Girl, The Beatles & The Carpenters Medley, Breathless and Zombie. Not necessarily in that order. Tickets are for 20 bucks for adults and 10 for students/kids. You can get ‘em at Amphitheatre itself, right before the concert. Oh, and it’s free seating, so like, if you wanna get a good seat, get your asses there earlier.

So. Here’s to hoping tonight would be on the centre stage of epicality. Okay, so that’s not really a word, I just made it up to sound more...epic. Haha. It’s gonna be one of the best nights. Ever.

..And Then There Was Cheese. 11:15 PM

Well. Cheese flavoured Ruffles. Good enough.

I just got back from rehearsals about three hours ago and it was semi-epic. Haha. We had a mini party on the school’s stairs. There was Coke and Ruffles and Lays, gummy worms and marshmallows, muffins and chicken nuggets! Well the paper does say “students are advised to bring food & water”, we just decided to bring junk food and plastic cups.

Regrettably though, the Coke finished up quicker than I could get a second drink. Because Aneesah just had to spill it all out of her nose. Or mouth. Either which. Hahahahaha. You shoulda seen that though, it was raining Coke. Well, on my spot anyway. :D She sorta kinda laughed while drinking Coke (with pieces of Ruffles mixed in it) and Joack (this really cool dude who sings) was telling a joke and yeah. You know how milk spills outta people’s noses? This is kinda like the same thing. Only NON-DAIRY. *shudders. Peace Aneesah :DD

And I met this really cool and interesting dude (I think he’s gay though, so no weird ideas yeah). He does a great Cockney accent and complains about how the boys around here are...quiet. Can’t blame him though. Haha. So anyway, today’s rehearsal was fun, better than the other times. Oh. And I’ve just established my Most Dangerous Guitarist Alive status, and my reputation is growing. I hit another person on the head. ><

Joel suggests we jam since he plays the drums fast enough for the sticks to fly off from his hands and stab someone. We shall be epic. Whoohooo. *does headbang*

So today’s our last major rehearsal and tomorrow we’re heading off to the Amphitheatre itself. (I still need a ride there and Honey suggests I hitch a ride with her but annoyingly, I’ve no idea what time I’m supposed to show up at Neo which is why I am here, waiting, waiting, waiting for her to get online and tell me. Oh, I’d love to text her, but remember the economic downfall we’re currently experiencing? Yeah, she’s out of credit as well. Oh my little problems.)

I can’t believe the concert’s in 4 days. It’s one of those how-in-heaven’s-name-did-time-get-lost-so-fast moments—she’s online, HALLE-FREAKING-LUJAH!!

So anyway, it makes me all gooey and sad that the concert’s up real soon. I mean, yeah, I am excited and whatever but it’s the fact that I won’t be seeing my new found buddies after the concert and the thought of it all makes me—alright. I’m not gonna make you guys read this right now. I’ll right about it some other time, ‘cause for now, I am hitting the sack. Or hay. Goodness, whatever. Sleeping is my point. It’s 11 for heaven’s sake. Go to sleep. ><

Sleep well.

If You Were Waiting For The Oppurtune Moment...You Just Missed It. 11:47 PM

“Last night, I knew what to say but you weren’t there to hear it. These lines so well rehearsed, tongue-tied and overloaded, you’ll never notice.”
-The Academy Is...

I did again. I did it AGAIN. When will I ever learn not to let chances pass? When? I swear. How many times do we have to go through to this routine until I learn from it? It’s terribly frustrating and you have no idea. I have to go with it every single time, I’ll just sit there and not do anything and look how much agony that has caused. To sit in anxiety, along with frenzied palpitations, just unknowingly and unwittingly letting the opportunity pass by without reluctance. Tell me, do you see that?

8 or so days will pass till it happens again. Well, I won’t let it. Not this time.

eBay. I'm Lovin' It. 6:18 PM

I know I should be studying about the Treaty of Versailles or like, The Russo-Japanese War right now, what with my History exam on Tuesday, but I can’t. I can’t. I’m too busy with eBay. I thought, hey, what if I can’t raise enough cash for an Epiphone electric guitar around here, then why not the Internet? So I’ve spent the last half hour checking out eBay and boy, did I see some beautiful guitars. Seriously.
I’m looking for a Les Paul and I’ve found a couple, white & maroon colored ones and they are simply...breathtaking. Yeah, this is how much I love music. So anyway, I just got to buy one of those before anyone else does SO NOBODY DARE TOUCH IT. Savvy?
Oh, and I’d appreciate it if someone who knows how you get stuff on eBay could help me here.

10 Days Less: A Presidential Note. 5:09 PM

5 o’clock already? I just fell asleep reading Saint Maybe (this really cool novel Richelle lent me, I know should at least be reading my textbooks or notes) at around half past two and next thing I know, my mom’s nudging at me to get up (she doesn’t want me to sleep the whole afternoon). I lost some sleep last night, I don’t know, either my mild insomnia from the mock exam days has made a comeback or I was excited to get back to school the next day. Or both.

(Or maybe because my 11 year old brother won't stop talking about Josh and Spongebob Squarepants. He thinks Josh lives under a rock and he even bet his favorite character was Squidward since they're both so pessimistic and all. And guess what, I asked Josh who he liked in Spongebob and he did Squidward. HAHA. I think my bro may be stalking you Josh. I don't even know how in Pete's name did we start talking about you, like, I swear.)

So I was pretty droopy eyed and the only thing that made me get outta bed was the white spaghetti sitting on my desk. FOOD. Works all the time.

Anyway, sometimes I think time goes way too fast, faster than it really should. Like the fact that PMB is only 10 days away. They really ought rewind time (which is technically, you know, IMPOSSIBLE) or like, postpone it. I’m pretty sure the rest of the Year 9 population are in favour of that decision. Right fellas? We’ll vote you for president when the elections come around. No wait, we don’t have a President. Well, it’s not like it’s legal for teens to vote anyway.

OBAMA, IF YOU’RE READING THIS, COULD YOU, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE POSTPONE OUR EXAMS? THANKS A LOT, YOU’LL MAKE A GREAT PRESIDENT, GOD BLESS AMERICA. Haha, yeah right, as if he’d suddenly find me writing this. Oh wait, I could ask Paths to talk to him. HAHA. Okay, Chelsea’s finally lost it, my bad.

After fourteen days, you would miss school and the people who’re usually in it. I literally hugged the walls of my class today. Okay, that was lame =.= But anyway, it’s great to be back, it’s been pretty long and I already forgot what books we were supposed to bring and what subjects we had and a million other things.

And guess what? We’re still using that stupid schedule from last month, the one with 5 periods of Math. *sigh. So I think the holidays went by too fast. Oh well. But I really oughta run and study, honestly, I shouldn’t even be writing this, and just so you know, I might be posting a little less frequently.
So if you come here, staring at the same post you’ve seen yesterday or yester-yesterday, then that means I probably glued my ass to the table and forcing myself to take in details of World War I or like, applying the Pythagorean Theorem or something.

I have really got to balance my time and all; I have to make a major decision in a few days, I have a major exam in a couple of weeks, and a major concert a month away. WHICH YOU GUYS BETTER BE AT, I BETTER SEE YOUR FACES IN THE AUDIENCE! Neo’s staging a concert marking their 3rd anniversary next month and I can’t wait. Haha, more details on that later. So anyway, ending this now. Skavush.

So go on show me how,

A 5 Day Holiday: Day One; Getting Kicked Out. 3:42 PM

Today, I walked in on my teacher taking a piss (I couldn’t think of a better way to start this entry). My male teacher. And I am completely traumatized. I mean, he didn’t close the door for heaven’s sake and how was I supposed to know?! And no, I didn’t see anything, THANK GOD. It kinda went like this:

I open the toilet door and see the teacher peeing.

Me: Oh, shoot, aaarrrrrrrrrrrrggghhhh! *literally screaming my head off*
Teacher: Oh my God, I’m sorry, I’m sorry!
Me: AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGHHH! *slams the door shut*
The other teacher: What happened?!
Me: He. Was. Peeing.
The other teacher: DID YOU SEE IT?
Me: NO! THANK GOD! HE WAS STANDING, DUH!

Yep. Thank God that guys piss standing up. If not then...shudders. But after that we burst into laughter for like 5 minutes straight. Including the offending teacher. HAHA. Still..it was not something I’d like to happen again. Like, ever. And why do I always walk in on people peeing? Especially guys? Geez. Do I have this sign on my head that says ‘It’s okay to pee in my presence, don’t be shy’? For goodness sake.

So anyway, I got kicked out The Understatement yesterday. Oh, that’s right, you have no bloody idea what the hell that is. It’s my so-called band, for which I’m the rhythmist & part time lead guitarist. That is, until yesterday. The vocalist/bassist kicked me out. Pfft. Like that even bothers me, I honestly couldn’t care less, GOOD LUCK FINDING YOUR OWN RHYTIMIST! =.=

Apparently, I got kicked out because I couldn’t make it to ONE (just ONE) jamming session (I chose to go out with my mates, it was on the same day, plus I planned this earlier than the practice). Bloody hell, it was only ONE. And it’s not like that’s gonna be our ONE & ONLY session and I simply CANNOT miss it. And he had the nerve to say “some people, they put their self enjoyment after the band”. I can honestly say that I am so glad I’m not like ‘some people’. Yeah. He even asked me who I was commited to more? My band or my friends. Right. Who kicks people out of the band for that silly reason? Like Mary J said, “Don’t give a crap about these people, they’re not worth it.”

Some people will never understand my genius.

Oh, guess who I saw today? None other than Benjamin, remember him guys? The annoying dude from the 6th grade who moved to St Andrew’s? Apparently, he takes drums at Neo & his class just so happened to take place after mine. Here’s how the how-do-you-do conversation went:

Me, packing up my stuff, Benjamin walks through the door.

Benjamin: Hello Chelsea. *in this sinister-like voice, actually he was always sinister-like, evil mastermind-like*
Me: *all shocked* Oh my God. It’s you. You’re here. What are you doing here? What the—

Yeah, I suppose I could’ve said something nicer. Haha. Oh well, I was pretty surprised and it has been a while since I last saw the dude.

Well, I gotta run now, my room looks like a storm’s just finished ransacking through it. Really, there are clothes everywhere, bags scattered over here, shoes strewn across the floor and lots and lots of other junk everywhere else. Gosh. I seriously need to clean this up and get ready for rehearsals at 6. =.=

I Tried To Be Like Grace Kelly, But All Her Looks Were Too Sad. 8:34 PM

“..I got to be wholesome

I could be loathsome

Guess I'm a little bit shy

Why don't you like me?

Why don't you like me without making me try?”

Mika is the best. His songs are simply wonderful…and odd. I know that this is really shocking, since I’ve been to known to listen to everything strictly rock, punk & alternative, and Mika is way out of that jurisdiction having a sort of pop-py kind of beat to his music, but still. His kind of music rocks. Period. He has this funny edge to it & his demeanour is simply amazing. Hilarious & definitely not serious at all. Wow. When things get all crappy and messed up and all that, you can always turn to his music. Three cheers for Mika.

Those 5 lines you just read, they say everything I ever wanted to say to you, no less.

Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors.

I did it twice just like Ells since it’s fun. And uh, it might make sense more the second round. You’ll find, apparently, the first go went better. I underlined the song that better fits the question, at least some made sense. The others were just…silly. Yet, fun.

Robbing Lips And Kissing Banks Under This Moon 4:31 PM

Ells bought me this DVD of Fall Out Boy, live in Phoenix (which was more than a month ago, but still) and what can I say? Andrew Hurley, Patrick Stump and Joe Trohman, are like the most talented people alive is all. Not Pete though. Pete, he’s overrated.

But Andrew’s my inspiration right now.

Honestly. He is the best drummer around and he’s just…you know. You really can’t say anything. Seriously, when I get older I wanna be just like them. The skills, I mean. Really.

I love the way Patrick & Joe play the guitar, Patrick actually dances and Joe spins a lot. I mean, no other band does that. Not that I know of, but yeah. Joe, you rock.

Wasted? 2:11 PM

I come undone, oh yes, I do

Just think of all the thoughts wasted on you

And every word you say, say something sweet

Cause all I taste is blood between my teeth

As I'm finding the words you're getting away

I am aware, I've been misled

I disconnect my heart, my head

Don't wanna recognize when things go bad

The things that you'll accept

Except that I am finding the words to say.

From Day One. 4:38 PM

Somehow everything's gonna fall

Right in to place

If we only had a way

To make it all fall faster everyday

If only time flew like a dove

God make it fly

Faster than I'm falling in love

This time we're not givin up

Let's make it last forever

Screamin’ Hallelujah

We'll make it last forever

Holding on to patience wearing thin

I can't force these eyes to see the end

If only time flew like a dove

We could watch it fly

And just keep lookin up

This time we're not givin up

Let's make it last forever

Screamin’ Hallelujah

We'll make it last forever

And we've got time

On our hands

And we've got

Got nothing but time on our hands

Got nothing but

Got nothing but time on our hands

This time we're not givin up

Let's make it last forever

Screamin’ Hallelujah

Hallelujah.

-Paramore.

You Want More Fans, I Want More Stage. 4:20 PM

“..Up up down down left right left right B A start

Just because we use cheats doesn't mean we're not smart

I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else

But you

You are always trying to keep it real

I'm in love with how you feel

I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else

But you

We both have shiny happy fits of rage

You want more fans, I want more stage

I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else

But you

Don Quijote was a steel driving man

My name is Adam; I'm your biggest fan

I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else…

..but you.

-The Moldy Peaches

It’s a pretty awesome song, I do love the ‘I’m your biggest fan bit’. It’s the little things huh?
