Approximatly 9 Days And Counting

Feeling A Little: Overwhelmed
Playing A Little: For Jo by RiddleTM
Recommending A Little: Dexter (Although its not music it is an awesome show)
Recommending A Little Music: Cute Is What We Aim For (One of those bands that not all songs are awesome but Risque has to be my favorite)

So many are back in school and others have a restless night ahead before their first day tomorrow. For me I have as stated in the title 9 days, I go back September 3. My days are spent fiddling with those brand new notebooks and binders. I eagerly wait for that day I can use those new pens of mine. Of course only moments I am hit with the thought of all those people. In the summer I put away my school mask and am never eager to pull it back out. I'm not a perfect princess and no I really don't fucking care if your cat died last night and that's why your essay is late. I don't want to have to put on my "Yes I am a bloody genius" mask. I enjoy being the silly person I am outside school.

Now don't get me wrong. I love to learn. I love school just not my school and just not the people. I hate pretending like I care about those people in my class when really if I had the chance I would kick them out or stab them with a knife to get rid of them. They bug me, disturb me when I would rather have the teacher just keep talking and not stop and back track if someone doesn't get the concept. If I don't get the concept I hardly think the time to ask is in the middle of an explanation. After class is when I ask. The teacher then can expand give more details make the info stick.

Well enough on school. Now onto music. A few days ago MTV did a special thing on Wizard Rock (A favorite non commercial genre of mine) and Twilight er TwiRock. I know by just mentioning Alex Carpenter's Hannah Montana comment has many people hating my guts never mind that I am now going to state my opinion. Wizard Rock is on a proper book, a book that now is used in curriculums because it is true literature. Harry Potter made history, Harry Potter's pages are full of plots twisting and turning and words forming many literary "YES!"s. Twilight I must agree with Alex Carpenter is like Hannah Montana, catchy and will get stuck in your head but there isn't a dynamic to it. It's not complicated, it doesn't get you thinking. There is no world full of theory there is only a world full of teenage love, and the kind that teaches no lessons. I confess I have read the books and I came out no different than I did going in, well I did realize that if some guy is as mentally retarded as Edward Cullen we are broken up. After reading Harry Potter I learnt, maybe nothing new but my views on the world were expanded and cleared up. Maybe its because I grew up with Harry at my side but he grew up with me, the Cullens and Bella never learnt a lesson, never changed. With that I agree very much with Alex Carpenter, Harry Potter is a literary masterpiece, Twilight is nothing more than pop art that in a few years will be forgotten.

From MTV to literary masterpieces it is easy to see I can't stay on topic. Now what I was going to talk about that stupid feud the media wants, well they have gotten to about the same place they started from. Harry Potter fans will forever hold Harry Potter in their heart but many are Twilight fans. Twilight fans may not ever have the connection us Potter heads have to J.K. Rowlings books but they love their books and they respect that yes Harry Potter fans feel the same way. We fans aren't blood thirsty book hounds that must have our books be number one. If Harry Potter stayed in the same amount of fame it did when I first picked up the series I would be fine, alone but fine. Both books are completely different and one may be better than the other (you know my opinion) but the fans understand each others connection to their book series and respect that. Although I am a little peeved that the media insists that Twilight will beat Harry Potter (lets see best selling book of all history vs. another famous book series, did Lemony Snicket win? No but those are wicked ass books!)

This seems to be a very nerdy blog so I will leave it at that. Now go check out some wizard rock (may I suggest RiddleTM? They are wonderful and AMAZING singers) or if you're a twilight fan some twirock. Come on though pick a new genre and try the opposite, why not take a break from Harry and the Potters and check out the Bella Cullen Project or trade Be Safe Bella for some of the Remus Lupins. And get along we only have each other.

Until The Next Song

Now I leave you with The Remus Lupins' Alex Carpenter's wonderful words, "Lets all move on and read His Dark Materials and just love each other."

August Looms

Feeling A Little: Tired
Playing A Little: Manic Monday as covered by Relient k (the original rocks as well)
Recommending A Little: Relient k, with their newish CD. Check it out.

I am over worked and tired. Covering a shifts for people who unlike me can get out of town. My shoulders ache and my feet are telling me that they will pull out a gun if I stand. I am not tired enough to sleep though. Oh no I think I passed that point... uh 2 days ago. No instead I wait for the hour to come where I pass out only to wake to the ringing of my alarm signaling me to get up on a Saturday in the middle of the summer and work, on my day off. This week days off only seem like a distant dream. I know people work just as much as me and they don't complain as much as me but as a teenage I prefer to sleep in. Plus I am the type of person who would rather sit in her room blaring music and reading.

I love my job but its too tedious. I need something to change. Everyday its the same thing, not that I do said same thing but still. Actually I do the same thing in half the time it is expected of me and I am left with not much to do but chat. It tends to prove difficult to when you work with a former enemy of yours and a girl who surprises you everyday that she can tie her shoes. But I am not saying that I would prefer school.

Oh school can be enjoyable mostly because my friends and I cause havoc and torture teachers. I love learning but not in my school. I swear they took a prison, went this would make a nice school and then had someone puke on the floors just to add a little colour. Some of the teachers can be nice (after a little training in the ways of an unusual mind) but others are dull and teach you nothing. Additionally there is all the useless homework.

Enough about being trapped in school even though August looms drawing closer with each passing day and that exciting first day and dreary second day drawing closer with it. I find my days packed with things I want to do, like applying to some of those amusing play this game and apply for a scholarship things. None of it getting done as I am forced out of bed at ungodly hours to go work. Then at home I pass out again. It seems a lot like a school year and I don't like that. Not at all. So I am going to stop. Knowing me at the end of August because I want to make a ton of money to blow for clothes shopping. I need new converses.

Now I am blathering on and on which is actually nice because everyone I want to talk to is out of town. Stupid father keep me at home. I never do anything exciting, other than going to Europe. Of course if someone offered to take me to Europe I would literally kill someone for it. I loved it the first time. Okay well this paragraph began about me blathering on and I continued. That is the way I am.

Until the next song,
