The trapeze act was wonderful but never meant to last.

So, I pretty much don't use this anymore. I'll still use it occasionally, but don't expect frequent entries from me, 'kay?

So, my soul is slowly being consumed. Hi, IB. AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

Also, what's up with people dying lately. It's not okay. D:

Sorry I've been under the radar. Just trying to survive. I miss all of you. Let's hang out soon. Yes? Good.

Ten days until opening night. Excuse as I have an anxiety attack or three.

In the meantime.

1. Reply to this post and I'll assign you a letter.
2. List (and upload, if you feel like it) 5 songs that start with that letter.
3. Post them to your journal with these instructions.

Tell her, tell her that wastes her time and me, that now she knows when I resemble her to thee.

First post in three weeks. Sweet jeezy creezy.

So. Talked to Head about not coming to practices or competitions. He was defiant at first, but it occurs to me that he doesn't have a backbone. At all. Either that, or he was expecting it. So I'm officially out of marching band, but in Head's failed attempt at trying to guilt-trip me, I have to tell the entire band before Friday rehearsal that I'm choosing theatre over band and why. I'm not worried about it at all. Should I be? Am I a terrible person for not feeling bad doing that?

Opening night: T minus fifteen days. Oh shit.

Serais ce possible alors?

2009-09-19T06:54:43Z

I got the lead in the play. Wut. Goodbye to any free time. Or sleep.

Uhh, not doing band next year. I really don't like it. Decided it now.

What's the most-played song in your music library?

The Trapeze Swinger by Iron and Wine. Such a good song. If you don't have it, get it. Or I'll give it to you.

I really wish I didn't have to do anything today. I still have to finish reading Life of Pi and do my essay. :/

All of my blind ambition left me deaf with perfect vision.

2009-08-24T04:02:52Z

You know what fucking blows?

Being lied to. TWICE. Yeah, you? Fuck you.

Anyway, does anyone have a copy of The Life of Pi that I could borrow. I need to read it for IB English...

Oh my god. I can't believe this.

Beauty.

So bright on cinder gray in spray paint.

I wish I could hear colours and see music.

I am determined to figure out a way to do this before I die.

Beside the lions and the ladies.

2009-08-15T09:50:17Z

I love this song so much.

Please, remember me
Happily
By the rosebush laughing
With bruises on my chin
The time when
We counted every black car passing
Your house beneath the hill
And up until
Someone caught us in the kitchen
With maps, a mountain range,
A piggy bank
A vision too removed to mention
But

Please, remember me
Fondly
I heard from someone you're still pretty
And then
They went on to say
That the pearly gates
Had some eloquent graffiti
Like 'We'll meet again'
And 'Fuck the man'
And 'Tell my mother not to worry'
And angels with their gray
Handshakes
Were always done in such a hurry
And

Please, remember me
At Halloween
Making fools of all the neighbors
Our faces painted white
By midnight
We'd forgotten one another
And when the morning came
I was ashamed
Only now it seems so silly
That season left the world
And then returned
And now you're lit up by the city
So

Please, remember me
Mistakenly
In the window of the tallest tower call
Then pass us by
But much too high
To see the empty road at happy hour
Leave and resonate
Just like the gates
Around the holy kingdom
With words like 'Lost and Found' and 'Don't Look Down'
And 'Someone Save Temptation'
And

Please, remember me
As in the dream
We had as rug-burned babies
Among the fallen trees
And fast asleep
Aside the lions and the ladies
That called you what you like
And even might
Give a gift for your behavior
A fleeting chance to see
A trapeze
Swing as high as any savior
But

Please, remember me
My misery
And how it lost me all I wanted
Those dogs that love the rain
And chasing trains
The colored birds above there running
In circles round the well
And where it spells
On the wall behind St. Peter's
So bright with cinder gray
And spray paint
'Who the hell can see forever?'
And

Please, remember me
Seldomly
In the car behind the carnival
My hand between your knees
You turn from me
And said 'The trapeze act was wonderful
But never meant to last'
The clown that passed
Saw me just come up with anger
When it filled with circus dogs
The parking lot
Had an element of danger
So

Please, remember me
Finally
And all my uphill clawing
My dear
But if i make
The pearly gates
Do my best to make a drawing
Of G-d and Lucifer
A boy and girl
An angel kissin on a sinner
A monkey and a man
A marching band
All around the frightened trapeze swingers

Na-na
Na-na-na
Na-na
Na-na...

The Trapeze Swinger, Iron and Wine.

And I peered into the atmosphere.

ATTENTION BAND KIDS. Aka Emma and Marie.

Tomorrow's the rummage sale, and I'm stuck selling soda from 9-5. Apparently, I was supposed to be recruiting people to help me, but no one told me. So you two should show up and ~~keep me company~~ help. Pleeeaasssee?

We will save your brothers.

2009-08-13T21:54:28Z

I feel like I should have something to say.

I've been awake for 24 hours now. I spent the night at Ava with Jessica until, like 3:00, and then Carson called/ showed up with his friend, Elliott, so we all went for a drive, then went back to his house and talked until 5:45. Took Jessica home. We left when it was still dark, and when we got back, the sun was up. I had fun.

I've had too much coffee.

So Marie, my computer doesn't let me zip files that have character accents in them, so I'm just going to have to burn you a CD of the Sigur Ros. I'll give it to you when I see you next.

Haven't done one of these in a looooong time.

Give me five topics to discuss and I'll discuss them here, in order. They can be any topics you like! I'll discuss anything.

Okay, I get it, film makers. The main character freaks out, but you don't know it until the end, and then they turn out to be the murderer. Sheesh.

Third movie I've seen that ended like that.

Teeth. Fucked up movie.

Mediocre acting. Dialogue/plot a little questionable at times. But still good.

I love StumbleUpon. It introduces me to such awesome things.

P.S. Also look up the music video. It is made of awesome.

Step 1. Put your playlist on random.
Step 2. Post the first line from the first 25 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing. (You can skip songs that are instrumental.)
Step 3. Strike out the songs when someone guesses correctly.

1. I'm counting back the number of the steps it took for me to get back on the wagon of the weekend.
2. When I think of Lorelei, my head turns all around.
3. ~~Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup.~~ (Across The Universe, The Beatles) oregonblondie
4. ~~Sleeping on a planter at the Port Authority, waiting for my bus to come.~~ (Bright Future in Sales, Fountains of Wayne) spookee_eyez

6. Running in circles, chasing pain of yesterday
7. ~~Don't make it bad, take a sad song and make it better. (First bit taken out because duh.)~~ ( Hey, Jude - The Beatles) evil_gummiworm
8. They pose symmetrical, scattered through the Echo Hall.
9. And I've got a Mars bar that says that you're never going to write a song as good as the one on the internet.
10. ~~When I wake up, well, I know I'm gonna be, I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next to you.~~(500 Miles, The Proclaimers) spookee_eyez
11. ~~I couldn't sleep, I took a Sominex, but voices in my head kept saying, "Go to Seymour, talk to Seymour."~~ (Sominex/Suppertime, Little Shop of Horrors) spookee_eyez
12. ~~Laundry day, see you there, underthings, tumbling.~~ (Freeze Ray, Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog) oregonblondie
13. ~~I took her out, it was a Friday night.~~ (What's My Age Again?, Blink-182) spookee_eyez
14. ~~Tanto tempo fa, un uccello fatale di nome, Chromaggia.~~ (Chromaggia, Repo! The Genetic Opera) oregonblondie
15. ~~They call me Dr. Worm, good morning, how are you?~~ (Dr. Worm, They Might Be Giants) spookee_eyez
16. It must be your skin I'm sinking in.
17. So you were born in an electrical storm, took a bite out of the sun, saw your future in a machine built for two.
18. ~~Every single night, the same arrangement, I go out and fight the fight.~~ (Going Through The Motions, Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Once More With Feeling) oregonblondie
19. Got a package full of wishes, a time machine, a magic wand, a globe made out of gold.
20. ~~Ooooooooooo- -stop. With your feet in the air and your head on the ground, try this trick and spin it, yeah.~~ (Where is my Mind?, The Pixies) spookee_eyez
21. Give me your eyes, I need sunshine.
22. ~~City's breaking down on a camel's back, they just have to go 'cause they don't know wack.~~ (Feel Good, Inc. - Gorillaz) evil_gummiworm
23. ~~They aren't desperate for love and affection, no, they're desperate for you.~~ (Clever Meals, Tegan & Sara) oregonblondie
24. ~~When I was a child, everybody smiled.~~ (Nobody Knows Me At All, The Weepies) oregonblondie
25. Will you say when I've gone away, "My lover came to me and we lay in rooms unfamiliar but until now"?

In a cavalcade of anger and fear.

I'm going to a masquerade-themed birthday party soon. I need a mask.

I want a half-face mask, but I don't want something too flashy. Does anyone know a place where I could purchase one of these?

Thanks!
