Nights Like This

It was a night like this when I smoked for the first time,
Nights like this, I've been drunk.
But I'm still here, with hope;
And faith, and will to overcome.

I look back and see my shadow,
But forward is the sun.
I've learned something on nights like this:
"Just keep moving on!"

Anthems For The Musically Challenged

2009-01-26T04:48:33Z

So there are three reasons for this project (Four if you want to count my love for music, but that's a reason for everything I do)

-My brother called my roommate "Musically Challenged" for not having heard of Iron Man

-There's this girl I know who basically has to ask her mother for permission to buy music- she heard me mention Avenged Sevenfold, so she ASKED if she could buy an A7X cd, and her mother listened to "part of a song" and "said it sounded like the Devil's music" (Which might be true) so she wasn't allowed to buy it. To me, this seems really bad... maybe it's just because music was such a major part of my upbringing... it wasn't shoved in my face, but whenever we drove places we would listen to Oldies 104.3, I had Turtles, The Who, and Abba when everyone else had N*Sync and Backstreet boys... The first Parental Guidance CD I bought, at 13 or 14, was Green Day's American Idiot, and I remember being so worried they wouldn't let my buy it because it had the Parental Guidance sticker on it. Music has shaped and changed who I am, and it makes me sad that someone's been stifled this badly, that as a freshman in high school, she's not even allowed to buy CDs. So part of this all goes out to her.

-Jade Puget, guitarist from AFI, posed this question on his blog a bit back : "When you make a mix for someone, it's usually a friend who might listen to many of the same bands as you, so it's hard to come up with the perfect songs because you don't want to include tracks that the person already has/knows, but you don't want to put a slew of mediocre b-sides on it and wind up with a boring mix either.
If you were making a mix of 10 songs for a person that had never heard....anything, what would they be?"

So I'm throwing that question back at you guys. This first playlist/ CD is basically going to be the Cliffs Notes (does anyone ever use that anymore, or is it Sparknotes now?) of Music Education, with a slight focus on Teenage Rebellion// Change and Moving On. If I get an overwhelming amount of songs for that list, I'll cut it down to the bones for Volume 1 and then do more volumes by decade. I don't want this to be Greatest Hits Of The 70s, by any means, but more.... I don't know, more meaningful shit.
I guess this whole entry was basically me asking....

WHAT DO YOU CONSIDER THE MOST IMPORTANT/INFLUENTIAL/BEST SONGS EVER (aimed generally at a teenager who's never heard anything except, let's say, Mozart and the Beatles?)

Begintransmission, please help :)

2009-01-14T18:03:27Z

I entered this contest to sing on AFI's next album, and one of the factors is the number of votes my video gets. So I would greatly appreciate if you all could head over here :

http://begintransmission.afireinside.net/watch?v=fy1Errj6Z-w

Sign in (you can use your facebook info... or myspace info, or both and vote twice =]) and hit 5. You can also watch my video but it's kind of rediculous.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Whut.

8 Days of Happy: 1

2008-12-30T17:31:09Z

Okay, so myjadedhavok</lj> tagged EVERYONE on her friendslist for this meme, the 8 Days of Happy. (I'm tagging ~~presents, hopelesswarning, imjustdifrent, asphyxiation77, vlad13351~~ oh, screw it, I'll tag everybody too. Everybody should be happy!)

The rules are like this: for 8 days, post one thing that makes you happy.

(For me this should be pretty interesting as in the next 8 days I'm going to be chilling on an island for a while then heading back to DC, with my PARENTS, for parents' weekend, and there's even a day of co-curriculum thrown in there. So we'll see how it goes.)

Day 1: December 30.
Today, it makes me very happy that my schedule so far went like this:
-Wake up
-Change into bikini
-Sit on my deck in the sun
-Work out
-Eat brunch
-Change into other swimsuit
-Swim laps in pool.

Yeah, that's pretty happy-making. Nevermind what else will come, my 12:00-3:00 schedule was excellent.

2008-11-30T06:38:31Z

Woooo!!!!

Finished my NaNo!!!
Also finished typing up Bill and I's epic text-a-thon from 4:30 to 5:30 this morning. Woooooo. We sent like 50 messages. (Starting, btw, with 'Fuckin oi' and ending with that 'love ya babe' crap.)

IMPORTANT!!!!- I just ordered 3 copies of my novel. One will be passed around school for edit-age, one will stay in my room, and I'd really like to mail the other one around for you all to read and comment on. If anyone's interested in that, please e-mail me your address to carnival.goth@gmail.com. It's a sort of realistic scifi novel about a 'perfect' town that's not so perfect after all, and features heroin withdrawal, innuendo, and a kid named Christopher.

And I am very sad about not being able to hang out with Emily and Joe. Angryface. It was a little out of my control.

Did go to another concert tonight, though, at the bowling alley. Armand and his army of Skanks were there but a couple of them were almost pleasant people except they didn't know the difference between a guitar and a bass. Whut. Blah blah blah singer hugs blah blah free t-shirt, blah, blah bassist full of energy blah blah Charlie and Peter Obstacles blah blah. Had to run home, 5 minutes late for curfiew oh f--k! Sleep deprivation plus poor diet plus private bathroom equals lost ten pounds equals sickening-looking thing in the mirror, it's f--king emaciated, grossgross, I'm about 4 inches skinnier than Armand and that mofo is a SKELETON. And yes his skanks measure skinnyness in inches that's just because they're jealous or something. Oh my brain. Ohhhhh that brain of mine.

Date?? Tomorrow?!

Meme (pronounced Me- Me)

2008-11-29T12:52:17Z

Using the advanced prophetic powers of iTunes, this meme seeks answers to life's questions with random song selection. Hit shuffle and away you go! NO SKIPPING!!

How does the world see you?
[Skipped teach-yourself-Chinese lesson 5: sightseeing]

Away in the Manger- Bill Bass.
[Christmas music on steel pans? This does NOT bode well.]

Will I have a happy life?
Neverlost- The Smashing Pumpkins.
[Uh, at least I’ll never be lost? It’s not a very happy song, but…]

What do my friends really think of me?
We Got Annie- Annie OST

[I’m seriously considering stopping this meme now. I “make you relax like a big tax rebate.” // “Mutt has got Jeff and Eleanor, FDR, we got Annie!” Someone shoot me.]

Do people secretly lust after me?
Closer- Nine Inch Nails
[AHAHAHAHAHAH HOLY SHIT, that could NOT be more perfect.]

How can I make myself happy?
I Could Be Happy With You- The Boyfriend OST
[What’s with the MAD musical soundtracks? And aww, it’s a love song.]

What should I do with my life?
Death is in Love With Us- HIM
[This is an awesome song, but it’s probably about suicide. Thx.]

Will I ever have children?
The Sacred and Profane- The Smashing Pumpkins
[Whut]

What is some good advice for me?
Alone I Break – Korn

[So, the first time I heard this song was when Criss Angel did a suspension on his TV show, Mindfreak, so that’s what the song brings to mind first. Do a suspension (hanging from flesh hooks inserted (pierced) into your back) from a helicopter? Pretty fuckin sweet. But the song is actually about, basically, crying (cutting?) alone in a corner. Sweet.]

How will I be remembered?
Clearer Now- Driveblind
[“I dream of gold but my heart is tin” This is a very repetitive song with a lame guitar solo. Thx.]

What is my signature dancing song?
Hell’s Bells- AC/DC
[Whut. This was one of the first songs I learned to play on guitar, sure, but how do you dance to it?]

What do I think is my current theme song?
Dear Sergio- Catch 22
[LOL.]

What does everyone think my current theme song is?
Life Less Frightening- Rise Against
[I’m actually not unhappy with that one.]

What song will play at my funeral?
Walking Contradiction- Green Day

[“Do as I say not as I do” is pretty good for a dead person.]

What type of men do you like?
The Power of Equality- Red Hot Chili Peppers
[This song is about racial equality (Which I think is pretty rad, considering my romantic trends) but I also would like to think of it as gender equality, my type of man might not be a man after all J ]

What is my day going to be like?
Rondo In D Major, K.485- Mozart
[Oh fuck that shit, I’m going back to bed! Actually that might be a good idea as it’s almost 7 in the morning and I only slept from 11- 4:45… if my day is going to be like Mozart it’s not worth getting out of bed for.]

PS. The Lil Bill tag and the Meme tag are vying for second most popular tag in my journal; the first most popular tag is Holden, for Holden Caufield, as in The Catcher in the Rye, as in whiny, complain-y posts. That, plus my obsession with a certain punk boy and with answering questions about myself, makes it clear that I HAVE NO F--KING LIFE.

Oh I lied, actually, the Boys tag is between Holden and the tie-match. Because apparantly there are boys who aren't Lil Bill.

The time has come, the walrus said, to talk of many things.

Best Audition piece for Colleges?

2008-10-17T03:18:43Z

I was trying to make a poll but it didn't work.

Which of these is the best audition piece for colleges? (I'd be applying to the Music Management thinghy, but because it's within the Music Program I have to audition! I'd be playing acoustic guitar and singing.)

-"Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)" by Green Day-- I know it inside and out and can play it so it sounds GOOD. It's also emotional and has good lyrics. The downside is that it's a pretty damn simple song, and everyone knows it.

-"Swing Life Away" by Rise Against-- I know it rather well and can make it sound nice. The added bonus of being less popular and more complex.

-"Wish You Were Here" by Pink Floyd-- I think this is an old audition standby, pretty popular. But it has a flashy little intro and I know it.

-"Ziggy Stardust" by David Bowie-- I don't know this song as well as the others, I'd have to practice more. But it's the most complex.

What are your first and 2nd choices? OR should I learn a new, more complex song? Help!

I want to hear your FIRST impression, even if it was WTF. What story does this bring to mind?

2008-09-28T02:51:09Z

I'm wrapped around their tattooed fingers

The pack of cards in my pocket
Feel like a box of cigarettes
That I would never smoke

And I pop my collar
To hide the bite marks...

Movies

2008-09-25T01:10:53Z

I'm really sick of being so Out Of It as far as movies are concerned.... Wanna help me out?

Here's some movies I've seen and enjoyed recently-- Almost Famous, Still Crazy, Wanted, Lord of The Rings, anything James Bond (I was a big fan of the one with Halle Berry), Catwoman, Fight Club, The Perfect Score. So movies about bands, action movies with explosions, hot female leads, et cetera.

(I STILL haven't gotten around to seeing Dark Knight... I wonder if it'll be in the Tivoli when I get home for a break... maybe I can go with some hometown palz)

Here are some movies that weren't to my taste: Saw, Monty Python. Basically stupid gory horror movies that are pointless, and lame British humor.

My 'To Buy' list is currently Still Crazy and Spinal Tap.

I don't HAVE a To Watch list. Which is where you come in.
(I'm also very, very open to movies in French, but I don't think my f-list swings that way)
SUGGESTIONS?

Nothing can compare to this.

2008-08-24T04:56:45Z

I am convinced that I am in the best place in the world right now.

My throat hurts worse than I've ever felt it before, my left ear feels like it's stuffed with cotton. My hands are shaking, my stomach is churning.
I'm curled up in little more than my underwear in bed, savoring the warmth and joy that's coming from the inside and outside.

Not two hours ago I touched Jonny Radke's (nude) hipbone and (clothed) ribcage. (He did a demi-crowdsurf thing) I saw Kill Hannah on the last date of their Hope For The Hopeless tour, in all their glory, in their hometown. I saw the best of music in the best of venues with the best of friends.

I'll post pictures and a set list later, at the moment, I'm basking in this. This is such a wonderful feeling right now, words can't even explain it. I am so happy. Happier then I've been in a long time, and it's not like I've been depressed, quite the opposite, I've been pretty happy lately.

I've seen Kill Hannah 5 times now, and each time they get better.

I.
Love.
My.
Life.

PS: Okay, okay, one picture:

Homeboy needs to gain some weight, no?

Hey y'all, I need help.
For some reason, none of the computers I'm running right now (that'd be my laptop and my desktop at home, I also checked my mom's laptop) speak french. I've tried to install the dictionary thing for Word, but it's not working.

If at all possible, could I e-mail somebody my paper and have you throw in the accent marks? Just run it through spell check, it would help if you spoke a little french (ahem emily and louisa) but if not, that's okay too. This paper is due tomorrow and I'm kind of nervous! I feel like I've made a bunch of stupid mistakes that spellcheck could catch, but it doesn't know how to spellcheck French!

Aidez-moi!

You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here

2008-07-25T18:59:57Z

What do you guys define as "Summer Music"? I'm trying to make a playist, mostly for driving but also for chilling, and I've got a startling variety of music going on here:

Fuel- Metallica
Find A New Way- Young Love
Highway 1- Foxboro Hot Tubs (AKA Green Day)
When Your Heart Stops Beating- (+44)
Chariot- Gavin DeGraw
Closing Time- Semisonic
Heading West- Crash Romeo
Girl All The Bad Guys Want- Bowling For Soup
Sadie Hawkins Dance- Relient K
Higher Ground- Red Hot Chili Peppers

Wait For The Blackout- Alkaline Trio
The Curse Of Curves- Cute Is What We Aim For
Dear God- Avenged Sevenfold
Stay- Dot Dot Dot
Lost- Avenged Sevenfold
Raise The Roof- Carbon Leaf
Scattered- Green Day

They aren't in order yet, but I'm working on it, I'll probably have to cut a few... Anyways, this list is really varied: metal to pop to acoustic. What music do you associate with summer?

EDIT: Boredom = Memes.

Your life as a movie soundtrack

Title Track: “Tonight, Tonight” By The Smashing Pumpkins.

I like this song; we’re off to a good start.

Early years: “Man Overboard” by Blink-182

Well, I don’t know this song (It has a guitar line QUITE similar to Good Charlotte’s The Click), but it starts “so sorry, it’s over.” Guess that works.

Middle School: “On Marche” par Gilbert Becaud.

Ouai, J’ai appris le francais dans l’ecole, donc cette chanson marche.

Friends at School: “Rock And Roll All Nite” by Brandon Calhoon.

This is a terrible version of this song, so I guess it’s appropriate. JK, I love you Emily and Zawhi.

Teachers: “Magnetic Baby” by Semi Precious Weapons.

God, are you TRYING to make me go insane? This doesn’t fit.

Classes: “Had Enough” by Breaking Benjamin.

Heh. =]

High School: “Only Of You” by Green Day.

Um… what?

Friends: “The Beautiful Letdown” by Switchfoot.

Oh… wow. How accurate. For some friends, I mean…

Enemies: “When Your Heart Stops Beating” by (+44)

Hmm… whatever. My enemies want to be part of my breakdown.

Crushes: “Another One Bites The Dust” by Queen.

HA!

Boyfriend/Girlfriend: “The Days of The Phoenix” by A.F.I.

Actually, that’s appropriate. ‘The teenage death boys, teenage death girls, and everyone was dancing. Nothing could touch us then, no one could change us then…’

Home: “Dazed and Confused” Led Zeppelin.

Oh… that works.

Parents: “Endless Wire” The Who.

Um… it’s an old song?

Siblings: “Don’t Say You Won’t” Alkaline Trio.

Ummm… okay then.

Party: “Charlie” Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Um… I will go to parties where people will be on massive amounts of drugs?

Fight with BF/GF: “Dammit” Blink-182

Loves it J

Breaking up: “Behold! The Night Mare!” Smashing Pumpkins

Um…. If my significant other’s voice is as hot as Billy Corgan’s, I won’t be able to break up.

Downward spiral: “My List” The Killers

This song starts with 25 seconds of ticking that were about to send me into a downward spiral, right here, right now.

Depression: “Sarah Saturday” Bouncing Souls

This is an incredibly happy song for a Depression song… Perhaps my depression is accompanied by joyful, out-of-control, self-destructive behavior! “Through a broken world that changes every day.”

Recovery: “Love In This Club (Remix)” Usher Ft.Beyonce

To recover from my joyful, out-of-control depression, I have sex in a club, with Usher. (And Beyonce)

Happiness: “The Story of Chess” Cast of Chess (Musical)

After my club-sex recovery, I surround myself with competitive chess players who lecture me as to its beginnings (after murdering his brother, a prince uses model soldiers to show it was his brother’s fault) and this, to me, is happiness. I’m starting to think my computer’s on crack.

Getting back together: “Problem Child” AC/DC

Only on my computer would a Chess Soundtrack song and an AC/DC song stick together like this.

Prom: “Kickstart My Heart” Motley Crue

At the prom, my date will almost die of a heroin overdose, and I, with my lifeguard skillz, will use an AED to kickstart their heart, leading them to steal the prom band’s microphone and serenade me with Motley Crue. I can see it now.

Graduation: “If I Ever Feel Better” Dissipated 8

Um… this is A Capella. I’m hitting next.

College: “Language Lessons (Five Words Or Less)” HawthorneHeights

We could just look at the title and assume I major in language, or we could listen to the lyrics: “You are my first dissection, spilling my inside.” And “So whisper softly, and don’t forget to tell me how you feel in five words or less” and assumer I have some really wretched relationships in college.

Marriage: “Vampires Will Never Hurt You” by My Chemical Romance.

I will marry a vampire. Duh. This isn’t a chick flick movie, it’s a damn VAMPIRE MOVIE.

Your ‘song’ with your partner: “Killing” by The Rocketz

Um… right. We go… killing. Because… we’re vampires… or maybe we kill vampires?

Your dance at the reception: “Paper Airplanes (makeshift wings)” A.F.I.

It must be hard to mosh in a wedding dress.

Honeymoon: “Back in the USSR” The Beatles

We honeymoon to Russia, which by that time has become the USSR again.

Birth of a child: “Lover Boy” by Queen.

Damn it, my lover boy has seduced me into bearing his spawn. Well, fuck.

Your Job: “Drowning” by My Chemical Romance

Well… I could be a lifeguard, and stop others from drowning, or I could be a vampire hunter, and DROWN VAMPIRES.

Death Scene: “Goodnight, Goodbye” Kill Hannah

I was just thinking of how odd it was that no Kill Hannah or Avenged Sevenfold had shown up yet… I guess this is appropriate for my death.

Ending Credits: “Still Three Shy” The Pink Spiders

Well, hopefully everyone will have left the theater// turned off their TV in disgust before they hear this tripe.

Well... that was interesting.

Alkaline Trio- July 1, 2008

2008-07-02T16:00:06Z

I think that was probably one of the most sweaty concerts I've ever been to. I mean, sure, I went to Warped in the dead of a Chicago summer, but I'm pretty sure my jeans have NEVER been soaked through with sweat.

Oh wait... Kill Hannah at the Metro.

Nevermind.
Anyways, it started out oddly, there were seats. There didn't seem to be any standing room. But as soon as the lights went out, everyone stood up and rushed the front of the room, the 7-odd feet between the stage and the first row of seats. The rest of the show was just as odd, because the majority of the crowd did little more than nod their heads. You read that right: No pogoing, no shoving, and certantly no slam-dancing or circle pits. WEIRD. WEIRD ASS. (Below, I'll include a picture of the crowd the LAST time I saw the Trio.) But that worked out okay, after Love Love Kiss Kiss (Where I was LITERALLY the only one singing... "This is my song!") a couple of drunken buffoons saw that I was actually willing to move and attached themselves to me. I'm not a fan of sickly alcoholic-sweat on my arm, but hey, it reduced the friction from our jumping. That's right, me and two drunk guys, the only people jumping. What-eveerrrr, at least I got to enjoy the show. Drunk Guy #1 got a guitar pick from Matt. I was considering flirting with him to make him give it to me, but I decided it wasn't worth it. Emily was a dear throughout this whole thing, she was probably suffering in front of me with my off-key lyrics (I knew all of the lyrics from the new album before it came out) in her ears and my "YEAAHHH!!! WOOOO!!!" when a song I liked was announced.

Anyways, cameras weren't allowed... but I still have pictures!

Set List:
~Private Eye* ("New Years' Eve was as boring as heaven, I watched flies fuck on channel eleven") [I was so much in shock that I didn't recognize this song until they got to this part!!!! OHMIDGOD! For those of you who don't recall, I wrote a Mat/Jonny to this once!]
~Clavicle* ("I wanna wake up naked next to you, kissing the curve in your clavicle")
~Mr. Chainsaw* ("Sleeping is my 9 to 5, I'm having nightmares all the time")
~I Found Away ("I found away, over the fear and through the flames")
~In Vein ("Kind of like a superhero, with nobody's best intrest in mind.")
~Mercy Me ("It's been a long day, feeling like this, it's been a long time since I've felt so sick, I took a long walk, straight back home, I could've walked back to Chicago.") ["We had some free time earlier today, so we went up to the top of the Sears Tower and looked down at the vast city... this song's about Chicago... it's called Mercy Me."]
~Armageddon* ("Armageddon! We're not begging for too much I think! Just need a goodbye kiss, one last salute, before we sink!")
~Time To Waste ("Such a basket case, hide the cutlery.")
~Blue Carolina* ("Well I can hardly wait until I get the sun and your lips both pressing on my skin")
~Calling All Skeletons ("There's a party in my closet calling all skeletons.") ["This is the first song off our new album..."]
~Love Love Kiss Kiss ("And there are days when we all say we feel we just can't go on, but you've felt this way all along!")
~? [Sadly, this is the one song I missed!! I didn't know it, and couldn't get any of the lyrics to google later!]
~Crawl ("Never met a drink that I didn't like, when I tasted you, I threw up all night!") [The drunk guys were particularly fond of this song.]
~Lost And Rendered ("My will to live is wearing thin, I'm running out of....... *tictictictic* time.")
~Help Me ("You're up there, took the stairs to the stars all alone")
~This Could Be Love ("Step one, slit my throat, step two, play in my blood...") ["This song is dedicated to you guys... this... could... be... love."]
----------- [Actually I can't remember if This Could Be Love was the last song of the show or the first song of the encore.]
~Old School Reasons* ("I got a hole in my head the size of Lake fucking Michigan.") [This song is dedicated to Chicago!!"]
~Radio ("I've got a big fat bucket of bones to pick, with you my darling.")

* If anyone has these songs and feels like uploading them for me, I'd be forever indebted. Sadly enough, I only have Maybe I'll Catch Fire, Crimson, Scraps, and Agony and Irony. I do have Agony and Irony as a CD and a LP though. :D

Anyways on to the pictures!!!!!!!

See what I mean about the sweat?! Grosss! This was like 4 songs in, too... by the end, his shirt was completely see-through and it was literally dripping off his face!

Sorry it's blurry, remember, cameras weren't allowed, so this was sort of on the d/l.

And just for ha-has, I'll include the pics I took last time I saw them (Warped last year).
THIS is how you act at an Alkaline Trio show:

And this is as close as I could get to a picture of the guys:

See, you can totally see them!

Anyways, I had a great time, and I hope you did too, Emily!

THIS JUST IN:
After starting to read questionablecontent.net from the beginning last week (I THINK it was Wednesday? Maybe Thursday) I've caught up to the current comic. For a minute, I just kept hitting 'next' and being sad when one didn't show up. What am I going to do now??? Summer reading?! Someone, suggest a SFW webcomic or website where I can waste my time!

I put a postage stamp on this polaroid with your address...

I hope it makes it back to you, cos you've got to see this, you'll never believe this!!

Shoot it out, snap it down, cos all we've got is this, the still frame pictures of the lives we're living.

Well we've got so much time, so go see anything, the memories will be here developing...

Election/Selection results posted!
