Charlotte’s Neighborhood

erm. first day of break. it's hot. i hate california. my turtle died yesterday. i am the worst pet owner. i have so much free time now. it rocks.

i just joined this 'freecycle' group, i hope it's legit. it's this thing where people give their stuff away for free to those who need it or will use it. that way we can reduce waste in the landfills and shit. lately i've been really resourceful, i hate wasting things. in this society we're so used to having an abundance of everything, so we just easily discard them because we can just buy another one. but that's ridiculous. everything is precious and not everyone is able to get 'another one'. so i try and utilize all that i can.

i feel like everything's going to change really soon, because it already is. i'm almost done with high school, i've been working at lamppost for 20 months, B just graduated, i see things differently, i want different things...i dunno.. shit happens eh?

okay.
i have two more days of finals and then i start summer school on monday. a whole 4 days off! tomorrow is graduation, it's gonna be so hot. but i have to go cuz britanya's graduating! and she came so close to not walking, so i figure i should for sure go.

i'm dying my hair and watching kingdom hospital on scifi. the original version is better. i am very hungry mmm what should i eat... today's been really easy. we watched half of the notebook in psych cuz we took the final last week and for religions we just turned in a paper[which i worked on till 1am], watched a bit of a film on islam, and then went to seattle's and had some coffee! haha i love mr antenore he is the coolest teacher in the world. okay i need to go rinse the dye out...

i didn't go to my third period cuz we were having a 'party' and i didn't see the point in going. the final's on wednesday. well i really need to eat. hopefully i'll come back here soon...

TOKIO HOTEL WON 4 BIG SHINY BALLS AT COMETS TODAY :D

They won Best Band, Best LiveAct, and Best Video, THEN SUPERCOMET :D <333  Click here for the party thread/comet Christmas tree thread!  I HAVE NO WORDS TO EXPRESS MY HAPPINESS RIGHT NOW EXCEPT "COMET" AND "BALLS"  and writing in CAPS.

p.s BUSHIDO WON BEST KUNSTLER :D

Panic was f****ing awesome.  The whole concert.  Let me do a big long recap.

We got there around 6-ish, I don't know the exact time, we were around the middle of the line, there were people handing out huge Pretty.Odd. stickers which was cool.  Then there was a CD-mobile thing, and the Honda Civic Tour bus, and weird people selling nasty looking hotdogs.  We got in and headed for the merch table which was PACKED and we got squished (by we I mean my friend Rachel and I)  I bought a really cool The Hush Sound shirt for $25 which I will post a pic of me of eventually (along with all the other one's I'm supposed to put up x_x) it's in the wash right now.  While we were in line for merch Phantom Planet started playing so we got my t-shirt and hurried over we got a spot towards the middle on the left side, I got a whole recording of California! <3  They were awesome and I'm hooked on their song "Dropped" right now, it's really awesome live.  Then The Hush Sound came on, Greta was wearing a awesome purple strapless and I have no idea how it stays up!  They were PHENOMENAL they played (not in order, and they might of played more, this is just what I remember) :

-Honey

-Medicine Man

-My Apologies

-Molasses

-As You Cry

-Like Vines

-Wine Red

They are one of my favourite bands <3

Then Motion City Soundtrack came on, and to be honest I wasn't very excited to see them because I know two of their songs and dont' really listen to them.  By this time we had worked our way close to the front still on the left side.  They were actually very cool, and I think I'm a fan now!  I nevewr knew keyboarding could be so bad-ass, I guess if your a keyboardist you have to do something cool.  HE FREAKING DID A FLIP OF THE KEYBOARD :D  It was sick.  During one of their songs this fat girl was pushing into me trying to make me move forward so I put my feet down and pushed back into her, it was like memory foam, all I did was sink in o.o  Then she stated jumping up and down, I felt so violated :'( But afterwards when she moved away I could see she was a huge fan so I guess it was OK. xD  There was also this one girl with a Pikachu backpack, a bazillion necklaces, and cat eas that smelled like a skunk.  She must have got sprayed or something because it was really bad.

PANIC PANIC PANIC.  Oh it was so good. <3333333333333333   I swear for a whole 2 seconds in Camisado Ryan looked me right in the eyes, then I smiled at him, and he smiled at me.  I know a bazillion people say that but I like thinking he looked at me so be quiet ;)  They played SO many songs, I'm going to write what I remember (once again not in order) :

-We're So Starving

-Nine In The Afternoon

-Camisado

-Thank God For Estaban

-There's a Good Reason These Tables Are Numbered Honey, I Just Haven't Thought Of It Yet

-Lying Is The Most Fun A Girl Can Have Withought Taking Her Clothes Off (during this song some creepy guy was like raping his girlfriend o.o)

-Folkin' Around

-Time To Dance (Brendon came out by himself with an acoustic and made us sing the "do do do do dododododo or however you type that thing up xD )

-The Only Difference Between Matrydom and Suicide Is Press Coverage

-But It's Better If You Do

-She's a Handsome Woman

-That Green Gentlemen (Things Have Changed)

-Pas De Cheval

-Behind The Sea (or as Spencer calls it, Behind The Lake, you know Lake Ontario? <3)

-Northern Downpour (it was the song to the fans and we had to sing it <3)

-Mad As Rabbits

It was just so good. <3

AND IT'S TOKIO HOTEL TOMORROW :D

I've been in a blogging mood lately, how long it will last?  No idea.  My last post I mentionned my palatal expander, that thing made a HUGE ass gap in between my teeth, like really huge.  It's gone now so it's all good, but for a good 3 weeks I looked really freak-ish.  Last Monday I got my braces on, which are pretty cool, hot pink + glow in the dark = FTW! No?  Braces aren't as bad as everyone says they are, for like 2 days it feels like your teeth got hit with a hammer and food always gets stuck in them, so what!  The only thing that's a pain in my ass right now is my expander, it's so annoying and it hurts my tongue : (  I get that off in late July, so it's all good I guess.

I am SO stocked right now, Panic At The Disco in 2 days at the Sound Academy and TOKIO HOTEL in 4 at the Sound Academy!  I flipping love that place.  The opening bands for Panic are The Hush Sound, who I love a lot,Phantom Planet (Califorrrrnnniiaaaaa anyone?), and Motion City Soundtrack.

Today my EPs came that I ordered around 3 weeks ago, they came from England so that's pretty fast!  I ordered Kill The Arcade's "An Imposter In the Family" EP, the Kill The Arcade/Skys Day Off EP, Tonight Is Goodbye's "The Birds and the Bees" EP, and the Drive-Thru Records/Tree Brain Records "Split Sampler" EP which has a bunch of songs from some really good bands all piled together into a CD of loveliness!  I'm ripping them to my iTunes right now (Rippen? Sexy, hexy!).  Also my sickness package from Charlotte came :D  It's so awesome, I got a zillion Tokio Hotel stickers, I haven't been wasting time, there's already one on the bumper of my van and truck! A fake mustache (which I will be taking a picture with soon) and a postcard from Boston :D

So today was a really good day, even if I was dead tired from the weekend x_x  Oh! That reminds me, on the weekend I went to Nova's and got to play with a porcupine named Lila, I'll post pictures of everything tonight/tomorrow/when I have time!  Next weekend on Sunday a film crew from Canada's Worst Driver is going up to my Uncle's house to film my Dad's friend!  He isn't a bad driver, just a crazy one!  He's actually pretty scary driving!  I'm maybe going up there to watch :D  Then, since it's a 3 day weekend, well actually 4 day weekend for me (P.A DAYS FTW), we are going up to my friend/sister's (I've known her since I was 3 months) Jessica's for fireworks/practice camping for this summer at Algonquin.  That will be swell, if I don't get freaked out by search helicopters like I have in the past trying to camp xD

This is getting rather long isn't it?  Well I have to go anyways!

TCHUSS (i know the umlaut is missing, I am lazy K?)

It's a snowday, SchneeTag, or whatever you want to call it so I have the whole day to do whatever I want : )

WOO!  I went into my local (well local-ish) HMV yesterday and asked if they had anything by Tokio Hotel, the lady at the counter said they didn't at the moment but they've been getting a lot of people in asking about them, they said they have at least two copies of Schrei and Zimmer 483 coming in and 15 copies of Scream!   She said they each look like they'll be under 14.99$, so I pre-ordered all 3 :D  I'm so happy!  And the Scream copy they are getting is the bonus version so it will be jam packed with shiny goodness!  My Leb' Die Sekunde and Schrei Live DVDs came Friday!  I watched Leb' Die Sekunde on Monday (I was away in Tremblant with my friend all weekend) and haven't had time to watch Schrei Live yet.  Leb' Die Sekunde is almost as good as the Zimmer Documentary, it doesn't have subtitles so it's hard to understand, but I can pick up some of it, like when Tom says "Schonne Arsche, Schonne Augen" or something like that xD  AND IT HAS BABY PICTURES OF THE JUNGS : O  You get to see baby Gustav in Lederhosen!  <3  

So, now for the not so nice bit.  Yesterday I got my Palatal Expander in :(  It's this weird torture device that is supposed to make your jaw wider or something.  It's really annoying and it hurts and I can't talk properly.  The only word I can say normally is the "EFF" word. -_-'  My German SUCKS, because I can't pronounce CH at all, of Ich is out of the question.  I can't say anything in Englisch either, withought sounding like Hannah Montana, for those of you that watched her first few episodes she sounds funny, I think she had a palatal expander because I talk like her now, which is one of the worst possible things in the world.  It's also really hard to swallow and if I want to do it I have to make a slurpy noise, I can't spit either, so it's really hard to brush my teeth.

I don't even want to talk about the fact that it's going to leave a huge ass gap in between my two front teeth until I get braces.

I shouldn't really be complaining because there are people in worse off situations.  : /

okay. it is sunday afternoon. it's way windy here. like scary wind. i believe i have mentioned the isolationist on here before...i can't remember... so i guess i'll just recap for a sec. my sister's bf has been making a short film for the past like, year. he wrote it and everything. me my bro and our friends were extras in it when they were filming last april and my sis has a main role in it. and now they are done with it yay! they're having a premiere party in april i'm so excited.  the isolationist. scott asked me to spread das word...so lookie there!

i work at 5 o clock today. and i have a lot to read in a short history of myth, which is the very fascinating book we are reading in religions. i've been having unbelievable amounts of homework these days...i've been very stressed the past couple weeks. i cannot believe it's march already!! it's getting warmer too...damn spring...i have a lot to do today i don't know why i'm wasting time on the internet. all well. i dyed my hair today so hopefully it will be nice and vibrant. my hair is such a hassle..curse you fading dye!!

i'm not really reading anything lately, it's very sad. there's a lot of things that i don't have/am not making the time for. i need to work on that. i can barely walk in my room. i need to change my sheets. figure out what i'm gonna do after school is over. finish my drivers ed training. sigh. so much stuff. i'm gonna go eat. farewell.

p.s. i can't stop listening to the song 'the hollows' by why?.......check them out and be obsessed with me.

I'm currently watching a National Geographic documentary on maggots and leeches used for medical purposes.  So far I've seen that infected wounds can be treated with tiny maggots. : S

When was the last time you surprised someone else?

: /  Never?  I don't know.  Maybe at my cousins surprise party?
