I'd chime in, "haven't you people ever heard of, updating your fricken blog?" by... AshLee

Well. It's been a while since you've truly heard from any of us.
So I just figured I'd do a quick update since I have no homework and can think of nothing to do.
Things happening in my life....
1. ACT prep day was today at school. Required. School wide. In every major, core subject. (Math, science, etc.). Dots... makes me want to change the blog background. Imagine my attitude the day of the real one. Everything I own with dots will be gone. Along with everything that goes with it. This is bad b/c I own a great deal of polka dotted stuff. Like my make up bag [bad thing to get rid of], shirts, earrings, skirts, ribbons for my hair. Lots of polka dots. Anyway.. moving on.
2. Soon I shall be ordering my class ring. Everyone else [who was getting one] ordered theirs from the school, but they, being ridiculously expensive, are not what I'm going to get b/c I'm cheap like that.
3. I have to stand in front of at least 20 people tomorrow night. I have a terrible fear of public speaking, stage fright, etc. This is bad.
4. Technology drives me bonkers. Yes, bonkers. I think I've dedicated an entire blog post to that once... anyway.
5. Music is fantastic. Without it, I would probably go insane. TV is uninteresting to me. According to our English teacher, music is the modern form of poetry. Good thing I've always loved poetry. Especially Holly's. Hers are good. My poems are bad. They'd never see the light of.... this blog.
6. My family that I would rather not see (well, actually, I like them. It's just one thing in particular that drives me crazy.) is coming to town soon. Yippee.
7. I don't want to have homework tomorrow. We will, considering that we had ACT prep all day today. Joy. It made it feel like Friday b/c we did nothing. I actually said it was Friday. It made me so sad. Curse you all for confusing me.
8. Folie A Deux comes out in 28 days. It's less than a month now. This fills me with a great joy that is unimagineable to most people, being it has been over a year since I've gotten a full CD of new songs from [one of] my favorite band.
9. As soon as this boat departs for sea [in case you're missing the metaphor, as soon as I graduate or move off for college] I'm getting pink, like super hot pink {think highlighter}, extensions and dying my hair black. It's a crazy dream I must fulfill.
10. I really want it to be Oct. 30th, then Halloween; I really want it to be November 4th so I can get Folie A Deux. Otherwise, that day is gonna be a major... letdown... and I want it to be Thanksgiving. And finally, I really want it to be Christmas so I can see my family.
There's more I want. I just won't waste your time. Nor do I feel like telling you. ;) haha.
Word of the day: Stalker. Used in a sentence~ "The girl whose story was the first passage on the practice ACT was a stalker. She watched her neighbors through their windows that she could see into from her fire escape, and called herself a part of their unknown family. STALKER"
Quote(s) of the day: "I'd do anything to be a star. Anything.~ Brendon Urie. *Ryan takes mic from Brendon* "If you're watching this, I'd do anything to be on TV. Anything."~ Ryan Ross.
"Why, it'd look like a zoraph and sound like a dinglehoop."~Jon Walker (all of Panic At The Disco).
Song of the day: "Not A Second To Waste" by A Rocket To The Moon [it's been stuck in my head all day. Check this band out. They're good.]
You're unbelievably longwinded, blogging friend,
***AshLee***

P.S. This is for the girls of BACH.... I was reading an interview and it reminded me [in a pretty. odd. way] that I love my friends and I'd be lost without y'all. Thanks for always bein there for me and supportin me. Love y'all. :)

~ I'm done!!!! ~

Things that annoy me. - A Rant by Holly

Because I feel like blogging about something, I'm going to rant about things that annoy me.

• The words tummy, belly, and stinky. They make my cringe.
• People saying I'm irritated. Whether I am or not, it makes me more irritated when people tell me this.
  
• Talking on the phone. There are certain times when this does not apply, but they're very rare.
• Insults directed at me or my friends in a non-joking manner. Next person that does this will regret it.
• People telling me I've changed.
  
• People talking to me in a baby voice. I'm not two. Stop it.
• People who think I lie. I'm probably the most honest person you'll ever meet.
• Rude people.
• Obama.
• Obama.
• Obama.
• Hannah Montana.
  
• The Sprouse twins.
• Jonas Brothers
• People who talk AND act like a valley girl. (EX: Like OMG. My top is SOOOOOOOOOO sparkly.)
• Obama.

What annoys you?

Thanks for listening ^_^

Stock market crash '08? no. For me it's computer crash '08.

Ok. So not only have I been grounded for a week (ok, so I was only like a little grounded b/c I could get on the computer at school during computer class and have time to do basically everything.. Except update the blog.), but my computer came within this close to crashing today. My predictions will be that my computer is going to crash by the end of the year and I will be able to buy no new hoodies or shoes or anything and will have to buy a new computer.
Computers are crazy. They make no sense. That is the main motivator in me staying in Computer Lit even though I never signed up for it.
Anyway... In a much more positive note, the video for the first single off Fall Out Boy's newest cd (Folie A Deux) released yesterday. It is hilarious. Check it out on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7z1wyXxmnEw
Believe me, you will not regret it.
Well, I have no homework this weekend. So I'm going to go chill. Plus, I'm dogsitting for my stepsister. AND, I got a coloring book today of all the Disney princesses. Yes, I'm a dork like that. Have a great weekend!!!

Quote of the day (paraphrased and summarized a bit): "People just don't care anymore. The world is just like 'Me, me, me, me, me.'"~ Patrick Stump. I agree completely with you.

Lyric of the day: "Saturdayyyyyy. When these open doors were open ended. Saturdayyyyyyy."~ "Saturday" by Fall Out Boy (album: Take This To Your Grave)

Word of the day: Choose your own and post it in the comments. Here's mine: Hoodie (not like everyone already knows what that means. Make sure yours is intelligent and something new.)
Used in a sentence- "Clandestine Industries and Rue 21 make the best hoodies in the world."


Ok. I'm gonna go now. The coloring book is beckoning from the other room. And there are 3 flies bugging around my room. They must be dead. Good day to you.
Your blogging friend who is about to kill flies and color,
***AshLee***
P.S. Oh my goodness!! I'm watching House. I think this girl's brain just exploded out of her head. I'm gonna watch and see. Comment if you've seen this episode.

The Words of The Wind - A Whatever by Holly

You never hear them,
But they are there.
You might feel them,
Yet never care.
They try to speak,
To those that ignore.
They try to tell you,
How to open the door.

Yet you don't listen.
You don't care.
You don't acknowledge,
The words that are there.

So now I say,
To those reading this,
Head their advice,
To find eternal bliss.


(WOW, am I bored or what?)

44 days is just too long. And 40 days is just too long. Waiting sucks, but I'm super impatient.

Why must life have a "hurry up and wait" way about it? why?????????? WHY I ASK YOU????
Halloween is in like 4 days and I'm ready to wear my Little Mermaid outfit. Yes. I'm gonna be Ariel. And know what else? Folie a Deux comes out in 44 days. Which is just too long, and I got the OK from me madre today to go right after school and get it on November 4th. YAY!!!
Waiting sucks. Surprises suck. A lot of things about life suck. But what rocks are iPods, friends, family and fantastic pets. AND HOODIES, and chicken.. and Dr. Pepper, and music and clothes and the color pink and shopping................... lots of stuff... The goods about living far outweigh the bad. And what's best about life is God. Just gonna throw that out there.
Anyway.... Well, this blog post doesn't match my semi good mood. Maybe it's b/c my mom is blasting country music in the other room, and my fantastic music cannot drown it out. Darn it. well, I'm gonna go and silence the crap playing in the room. Adios amigos.
Your impatient blogging friend,
