micael raine was ill the day the earth stood still, but he tells us where we stand (ON OUR FEET!!!)

Good morning everyone!!!

You may be wondering why I'm saying "good morning" when its almost 2 in the afternoon.

Well, that is because I just woke up.

Rocky horror last night was freaking amazing!!!!!!!!!!

...but we were SO tired.

So when we got home, Zoe and her bf Ryan were trying to get a ride home... but of course the people who were supposed to give them a ride had fallen asleep.

So I just asked my mom if they could crash on her couch. I asked her while she was still sort of half-asleep, but im sure she still would have said yes if she was fully awake. I mean, what else could we do? Make them sleep outside?

So at 8, ryans brother called ryan and said he was here to get them... except by "here", he meant "will be there in a half hour". So we all could have slept more. Grrrrrr...

Then after the longest half hour ever (because we were all dead tired after only 4 hours of sleep), his brother actually WAS here. So I crawled back into bed, slept fir two hours till my mom woke me up for church, said "you're kidding, right? No way I'm going. I'm going back to sleep now." and buried my head under the covers.

Then I woke up by myself at the lovely hour of 1:30 pm.

I love nights where I get to stay out late, end up with people asleep on my living room floor, and then sleep till extremely late the next day :)

Okay, now to balance out all the fun stuff that happened this weekend with... Geometry homework *DUN DUN DUN!!!!!!!!!*

ugh. If I make it out alive, you will get a word of the day from me later :)

Wait one sec... (JUDE CLICK ON THIS POST!)

He is my true love!!!!!!!!! *sigh...* I live the middle bottom picture... he looks so happy :) And the top left... he looks so sulky... I love every picture!!!!!!! *girly squeal!!*

Cleaning cleaning cleaning...

Ugh. Company will be the death of me.

The reason why I normally say "lets hang out at YOUr house" instead of "hey lets go to my house" is this: Having people over requires that your house look like its not a total mess, which means cleaning.

I enjoy doing dishes, but I do not like cleaning in general. Which is why I just shoved the humongous pile of laundry that had acumilated on my floor into the closet and forced the door shut, put all of the random crap lying around into a box and covered it up with a blanket, and took out the garbage.

Okay now that my cheater version of cleaning the house is done, I'm gonna go and take a nap... and then make some coffee. I have three hours to nap. Bye!

Busy busy busy day...

Okay, because of the fact that I am going to rocky horror tonight and I have peoples coming over at ten and still have cleaning to do and naps to take and energy drinks to buy and restaurants to go to, I'm doing the word of the day now.

As a tribute to my friend Zoe Who, who uses this word a least once a day, I am choosing the word Yum. As in, delicious.

Ways that this word applies to today:

This morning, I made some delicious ravioli with some truly yummy sauce that I made by combining various items in my fridge :) It turned out so good!!!

Then, just now, I made some risotto. It was delightfully garlicky, and I like garlic so this was a very good thing :)

I was gonna make cream cheese wontons too (homemade, not frozen, and deep fried of course) but my mom promised me she would take me to an indian restaurant for dinner!!!!! I love Indian food... and Indian guys :) so the word Yum applies to both of those XD
(seriously, Indian guys are extremely hot in my opinion...)

So that is the word of the day for today :)

Now, I'm gonna watch episode three of "My so-called life" before I take a nap :) Bye!!!!!!

The word of the day for yesterday: extravagant

Ever since I started taking interpersonal communications and english class, I have n very appreciative of words. I used to love words, but in the stress of life I started to take them for granted and I forgot how truly awesome words are. And right before I go to sleep I've been thinking up a word that adequately describes my day.

Yesterday, I was feeling kind of fancy and also dramatic. I figure extravagant is a fancy and dramatic sounding word, so the word of the day yesterday was extravagant.

If I start out a lot of my posts this way for a while, be patient with me nim just re-discovered my love for words :)

Furthermore, I am typing on my moms iPad, and may I just say I have an easier time typing on my tiny little iPod. Just saying.

just a side comment...

I was gonna watch Empire Records (which has my one true love, a.k.a. AJ in it), but, to my dismay, my mother is watching Greek so I can't.
I'm settling for re-watching the pilot episode of "my so-called life" on youtube.

And I realized that Jordan Catalano looks amazingly like Ethan Craft from Lizzie McGuire, my favorite show from my childhood (what was I thinking?).

Just an example of how one major pop culture icon can influence pop culture in many ways...

Okay, enough side comments, now back to watching!!!

Several epic and amazing things!!!! ...and one thing that kind of sucks.

Guess who is going to The Rocky Horror Picture Show at midnight (again!) tomorrow night???

Go ahead, guess :)

..................

Okay, I'll tell you.

IT'S MEEE!!!!!!!!! And my friend Zoe, who is awesome.

Okay, so as some of you may know, I am taking, like, the most epic and amazing classes EVER this quarter, which includes Interpersonal Communications class.

Today, in that class, we watched the pilot episode of the show "My so-called life".

May I just say NEW FAVORITE SHOW ALERT!!!!!!

It was brilliant :)

Sadly, it was canceled after only one season, consisting of 19 episodes (*sadface*).

Which leads me to ask, why do the best shws go unrecognized and get cancelled after only one or two seasons? Veronica Mars, Dead Like Me, My So-Called Life...

So we will be watching episodes of "My So-Called Life" every friday in that class to analyze the issues they deal with and what part communication plays in that.... Plus, my teacher say it reminds her of her college days.

As for Jordan Catalano.... "Oh my God, don't you LOVE the way he leans?!?!?"

:)

It is taking GREAT self-control to not watch the next episode on hulu before next friday... I'm settling for watching the first episode again :)

And now for the part that kind of sucks.

It's almost Valentines day.

I have a long, tragic tale regarding Valentines day that I won't bore you all with, but the point is I hate it.

And so begins the State of Extreme Sulk.

MEH!!!!!!!!

...No matter. I shall cheer myself up with Shakespearian sonnets, brilliant but canceled television shows, and of course the lovely music of Gin Blossoms.

I hope everyone else's day is completely devoid of sulkiness. :) Peace out!!

In my mind and in my car...

VIDEO KILLED THE RADIO STAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I LOVE THAT SONG!!!!!!

So on this lovely day off from school I was woken up at like 8 am by my mother being extremely loud in the kitchen :P *angry face*
Then I found a bag of flavored tootsie rolls (the ones that come in like lime and cherry and stuff) and started making a chain out of their wrappers.
I listened to the song "one headlight" by The Wallflowers like a billion times :) I love that song.
Read MLIA.
Texted "Happy birthday" to my friend with the hair.
And now I'm writing this.
Isn't my life just SO exciting? :P

Needless to say, I am desperately in need of something to do. I'm listening to "video killed the radio star" and as soon as my sister wakes up I'm going to the store for more flavored tootsie rolls.

IDEA!!!!!

I can mess around on garage band!!!!!

Sorry to waste your time with this bogus post :P bye!

I am officially a dork.

Guys, I have become One Of Them.
To be more specific, I have spent the past 3 hours or so playing Call Of Duty: Black Ops.

Don't judge me! It's really addicting!!!!!!!!!!

I can see why guys are so crazy about this game... It's better than Silent Hill!!!!!!!!!!!

My friend with the hair is like "you're just now realizing that it's amazing?!?!?!?". But I've never played it before today...

I gotta go it's my turn :). There's three of us playing but u can only do 2 player so were taking turns. Bye!!!!!!

Inspirational quote of the day:

We were given: Two hands to hold. To legs to walk. Two eyes to see. Two ears to listen. But why only one heart? Because the other was given to someone else. For us to find.

So cheesy, and yet... it kind of makes me smile a little bit :)

Anyway, my mom gets to take this AWESOME drawing class at her college and I am so freaking jealous!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sad story:

Once upon a time, there was a girl named Ezra and she loved drawing and acting both. She never really realized how much she loved drawing until she started high school. She went to a performing arts higgh school, and they had many art classes about performing arts (dancing, acting, singing, playing instruments...) but no drawing classes. In fact, they had ni visual art classes at all. Ezra was sad :(

So now my mom has drawing class, and today was her first day.

They gave her TONS of charcoal, a kneadable eraser, a brush for using ink, and all this really big paper.I FREAKED OUT when i saw it I'm SO jealous!!!!!!!!!!!! grrrrrrrrrrr... I am seriously deprived of art classes. This chick I wnet to school withs mom was an art teacher and she used to teach me new thinsg occasionally last lear, but they both moved to new york :P So basically I'm having my mom take notes for me XD *cough*cough*art nerd* cough*

heres a picture my mom drew of me with her fancy new stuff:

BREAKING NEWS FROM EZRALAND!!!!!

I just found out that like ALL of the members of Good Charlotte are PETA memebers and/or vegetarians!!!!!!! This makes me so happy because I too am a vegetarian and animal lover ^.^

I also discovered why their earlier stuff is so much better than their more recent music: the lead singer was saying that they wanted their new album to sound sort of like Blink 182.

That says it all. I cant stand Blink 182. Something about them just bothers me :P

But the point is they have in their time created some epically good music and theyre vegetarians and PETA members and that makes the amazing!!!!

I'm gonna go draw with my boring normal pencils (well not really because my colored pencils are prismacolors which are amazing and my normal pencils are made of recycled newspapers and are scented in christmas-y scents like candy cane and gingerbread, but still not as cool as charcoal). I'll probably draw some of my sisters ugly dolls. theyre cute and fun to look at ^.^

Oh, also speaking of ugly dolls, heres an update on the situation with my friend who used to have awesome epic amazing hair but them chopped it all off (I was reminded of it by the ugly doll because I bought him one for christmas because he likes that type of thing):

So I FINALLY got sick nough of fighting to say "you have to admit you were being a jerk, but im sorry for reacting like a psycho freak" and then he admitted to being a jerk and I admitted to being a beyotch and then I asked him if he was just being a teenager with mood swings or if there was something actually going on and when he asked for an example of what I meant by "something going on" all I could think of were really lame things, so my list of examples went something like this:

-dying slowly of some horrible disease (god I hope not!)

-morphing into a leprechaun

-discovering that youre colorblind and can never fulfill your lifelong dream of becoming a pilot

-finding a dead shriveled up siamese twin attatched to your neck

Hopefully he wont be weirded out because he knows im a freak already :P

now hopefully this ridiculous process of making up will be over by tomorrow!!!! This is taking WAY too long!!!!!!!! Maybe if I hadnt skipped school today we could have made up in person and been done with it... but I believe in sings and I'm taking the fact that I had no way of getting to school to be a sign that I shouldnt have gone, so maybe we're not quite ready to make up yet? Idk, im not sure... but everything happens for a reason, right? So there must be a reason behind all this insanity...

Blergh. My brain needs a break.

I'm off to draw ugly dolls!!!! *swoosh*

(that was the sound of me flying away)

This is a freaking sign.

Okay so like I said I had a late start today.

So I leave to catch my bus, thinking it came it 9:15, but it turns out the last bus came at 8:54 and the next one didn't come till 3 in the afternoon, by which time school would be over. I have no other ride and I didn't know what to do, so I just came home.

Unfortunately, I had forgotten my keys.

No big deal, I thought. I'll just buzz someone else in the building.

That's when it got FRUSTRATING.

I buzzed like fifteen people with these results:

-about 5 people didnt answer

about 5 more people answered but said they weren't home.

-one girl answered and said "sure I'll let you in" but never did.

-one guy picked up and had a really thick and creepy foreign-sounding accent, probably Romanian or something, and he had like NO IDEA what I was talking about. After saying "I live in the building can you let me in?" and him responding with "what?!?!?" like ten times I just hung up.

-FINALLY a friendly-sounding guy (I bet he was a redhead... i dont know why I'm just picturing him as a redhead) answered and actually had something helpful to say. He said he wasn't home, but he was pretty sure the chick in 106 was.

-The chick in 106 let me in.

I walk in, my cats are really glad to see me, I change back into my pajamas and find "thats so raven " on netflix (dont judge-it reminds me of my childhood) and decided I am NEVER EVER leaving my house again.

I'm pretty sure this is a sign that I was not meant to go to school today.

OHH MYY GOODNESSSS!!!!

Okay so I have a two hour late start tody, so I was channel surfing and I came across SABRINA THE TEENAGE WITCH!!!!!!!

Fun Fact about Ezra: That has been my favorite show EVER since I was about 6 years old!!!!!!!

So I clicked on it.... and was severely disappointed.

Because any Sabrina lover could tell you that the high school episodes are the best, then the early college episodes are okay, and the late ones just plain suck. I know, how could Sabrina suck? But the late college ones do.

It was when Sabrina was getting ready for her WEDDING!

YES!!!!!! WEDDING!!!!!!!!! :O

To make things worse, it was the second to last episode EVER!!!!!

So I got depressed and change the channel.

Meh. Why must all good things end? Sabrina, the princess diaries series (books not movies), all other Meg Cabot book serieses (series'? series's?), all of the 90s cartoons.... :(

I wish I could turn back time, impossible as it may be, but I wish I could so bad, babay...

QUIT PLAYING GAMES WITH MY HEART!

so... yeah.

I'm gonna go eat breakfast.

UPDATE:

So I looked up what happens in the end cause I didnt want to watch it but I still wanted to know.

SPOILER ALERT!

Okay so heres what hapeens with that wedding: she cancels the wedding last minute and rides away with Harvey, who was waiting outside the church, on his motorcycle. Ahhhhh!!! so cute!!!

Crazy cravings...

I'm having cravings for deep fried things.

Now that that's been established, I've been into Good Charlotte today.

Little Things

Dance Floor Anthem

The Anthem (different song!)

Lifestyles Of The Rich And Famous

Girls & Boys

Break Apart Her Heart

And I started writing a new story last night. Semi-autobiographical, but mostly fiction based on daydreams I've had, and other things. I'm about ten pages into it, but I don't think I'll be letting anyone read it anytime soon :P Maybe when I get farther into it though.... Of course Jude will be the first to see it ^.^

Well that's all I've got to say today. Me and my friend with the hair might possibly be making up, I'm not really sure... Oh, the way teenagers make everything SO much more dramatic than they need to be :P.

I've got the munchies, I'm gonna go snack on some low-fat potato chips. See ya!

I AM SAD!!!!! DX

This is going to be lots of me complaining and whining and being sad so you can skip over this post if you want to.

But first, let me tell you about this crazy dream I had last night!!!!!

Okay, so right around the time I found out that my school was doing Rocky Horror, I dreampt that the chick playing Columbia in Rocky Horror broke her leg and was unable to continue being Columbia so they held auditions for a new columbia, and of course I was auditioning for it, and the auditions were taking a really long time and I was waiting and that's when that dream ended, but last night I had a dream in which that other dream finished!

So I was waiting in line to audition and I was reading "Harriet the spy" then they called me in to song my song, and the scarier acting teacher was there and he said "So you're singing the song 'miss american pie'?" and I was like "WHAT?!?!?!?!" and I looked down at my audition form, and yes, I had written that I was singing "Miss American Pie" by Don McClean. Well, I was really nervous, because yes, I do know all the words, but still, it's like a nine minute long song!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I start singing, and I'm so nervous and I sound totally bad and I screech and stutter through the first verse (the slow part), and then when the music speeds up to get to the second verse suddenly I realized "you know what? it doesn't look like I'll get in, so I might as well have fun with the rest of this bogus audition" and I went into karaoke mode.

The most important thing to remember about karaoke is that it's not important how well you sing, it's how much you get into it that makes your performance good. So I get really into it and I'm dancing like a total dweeb, and I still sound horrible, but I'm much less nervous and I'm having a lot more fun with it than I was before.

So I finish the song, and I look up and my acting teacher and one of the music teachers are both looking at me like I'm a giant purple giraffe that just sang them a song and they're like "erm... thank you? you'll hear back to us on monday."

hahahahahaha, it was pretty awesome.

and now for the reason why I'm sad :(

Me and my friend who used to have amazing fluffy hair got into this big humongous fight and now we're not talking.

But I forgot until about fifteen minutes ago when I reached for my ipod to text him about the fact that Walt Disney's crynogenically frozen body is totally hidden under the Pirates of the Carribean ride at Disneyland, and I was going to ask him whether or not he believed that that was true but then I remembered that we're fighting and so I can't and I got all super sad :(

This is the first time we've ever gotten into an actual fight that lasted more than like five minutes and wasn't about something really dumb like who's better: powerpuff girls of johnny bravo (POWERPUFF GIRLS!) or where we were actually mad for like a minute and then something made us laugh and forget about it entirely. This is the first time we've ever actually been in a fight that ended with us not talking to each other.

This sucks.

:(

OH MY GOODNESS!!!!

Excuse me for putting it this way, but I had an absolute fangasm when I saw this!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even though Elvis Costello was way old in this video he is still oozing amazingness, and Billie Joe Armstrong is just awesome.

Elvis Costello and Billie Joe Armstrong singing "alison" together

:D AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Springsteen+Melloncamp=ICKY!!!!

Today in history we watched a VH1 "behind the music" thingy about the year 1984 (because we're just cool like that) And It was pretty cool. They had Madonna in all of her hotness, and Cyndi Lauper with all of her awesomeness, and PRINCE with all of his cool Minnesotanness (Proving to the world that we're not a bunch of dorks with stupid accents!), and overall I enjoyed it.

Except for the second half.

Then they started talking about Bruce Springsteen and John "Cougar" Melloncamp.

Okay lets get one thing straight: Just because I named my stick figure lovers "Jack and Diane" does NOT mean I am in any sense a John Menstrual cramp fan!!!!!!!! (Misspelling INTENTIONAL!). He and Springsteen both weird me out. Ugh. -shudders-

In other news, I drew a flower in biology that turned out pretty well in my opinion ^.^ Here it is:

I like it :)

Okay that's all..

OH WAIT theres one more thing.

auditioned for a student-written play and I got in.

It's nothing too exciting, but still :)

Okay, now thats all.

Byes!

I think I've lived a little too long on the outskirts of town...

Two words: Elvis Costello.

All I've been listening to for like three weeks.

The top two pictures are two of my favorite albums of his.

The bottom one is just a pic of him when he was younger.

HE IS SO FREAKING COOL!!!!!!!

AAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!! :D

I wish I could pull off the Elvis Costello/Buddy Holly glasses look :P

Unfortunately they make my cheekbones look super weird... or maybe I just think they do...

Here's a pic of me wearing my friends glasses (who doesn't even know that Elvis Costello and Buddy Holly were the ones who made them popular, by the way!):

And my eyes look kinda small...

Whatevs, I'm fine with my normal glasses

Mourning the loss of something very important to me... Also, Gnomes.

So he cut the hair.

R.I.P. afro.

I haven't seen the new hair yet, but he made me promise not to freak out when I did see it, so I'm a little bit nervous... :/

But I promised I won't freak out (to his face), a promise which I intend to keep.

So you might see a major rant from me on here later when I need an outlet for all of my freaking out...

And now for the gnomes.

Like a month and a half ago (I never forget ANYTHING), the same friend that recently cut his hair was saying something about mystical creatures that people we know look like, and he said that this girl I used to be friends with looks like a nymph, and then this girl whom I don't like very much looks like a fairy... (SHE SO DOES NOT BY THE WAY!) and then that same girl says "And Ezra looks like a gnome!!" And I was like "NUH-UH!!!!!"

But everyone else was like "yeah, I could see that."

As the result, I have developed a total complex.

I DO NOT LOOK LIKE A GNOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...Do I?

:/

The 1975 Stepford Wives.

If you've seen the version of The Stepford Wives with Nicole Kidman but not the 1975 version, then WATCH IT NOW.

This version is SO MUCH BETTER.

Just saying.

Also, does anyone know where I can find a copy of the book?

Censorship of Huckleberry Finn.

I AM OUTRAGED BY THIS!!!!!!!

They're coming up with a version of Huck Finn that doesn't use the "N" word. Here's a really short article about it

Censorship of Huck Finn article

But it really doesn't say anything except what I said.

I cannot believe this!

Last year they had us read 1984, The Color Purple, and Of Mice and Men

Controversial Subjects that these books have in them

1984-sex scenes

The Color Purple- lesbian sex scenes

Of Mice and Men-This one I'm gonna go on a little bit of a rant about. Near the beginning of the book, some of the workers are complaining about Candy's dog and that it smells bad and stuff, so even though Candy doesn't want them to, they shoot him in the back of the head to "put him out of his misery". In the end, George shoots Lenny in the back of the head too because he would be "better off that way" because otherwise he would be lynched by Curly and the rest of them. Basically, in the end they treat this mentally handicapped person the same way they treated Candy's crusty, old, smelly, diseased dog.

Yet no one is censoring or banning these books, are they?

Furthermore, Huck Finn, 1984 and Of Mice and Men are three of my favorite books (I didn't really like The Color Purple, but don't get me wrong it wasn't because of what I mentioned earlier. The story was actually pretty good. I just didn't like the way it was written.). No one has complained about 1984 or Of Mice and Men or The Color purple, so we still read them.

You know why no one has complained about them and have focused their attention on Huck Finn instead?

BECAUSE HUCK FINN MAKES THE SOUTHERNERS LOOK LIKE TOTAL A-HOLES!

Or at least, like they were a-holes back then. THAT'S BECAUSE THEY WERE! It's the truth about what happened back then! People used that word back then. Get over it-it doesn't mean you still do today.

Some people can't stand to admit that they messed up in the past. I'm a descendent of the Vikings. The vikings were dicks. But I can admit that I'm related to them, because it's true! It doesn't mean that I act like them, it just means that a long long time ago a mommy viking and a daddy viking loved each other very much and decided to have babies, and those babies had babies, and it went on and on like that up to now, when I was born.

What's next? At the rate we're going, we're going to end up just like 1984! We'll have the thought police banging down our doors for talking in our sleep.

Well I talk in my sleep so I'm pretty much screwed. Before they drag me to room 101, let me say one thing:

DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER!

Angst! Angst! Angst!

I feel massively angsty today.
Meh.
Here's a video for you all.

Hi, I'm Charlie.

I want everyone in the world to see the movie Charlie Bartlett at least once in their lives.
When I'm president of the world, on new years day every movie theatre will have to show it and no other movies just for that one day. And every tv station will play it repeatedly all day.
Charlie Bartlett is about a kid whom is very optimistic and enjoys helping people, but at the same time wants desperately to be liked. He's freaking AWESOME!!! If he was a real person, he would be my best friend. Anyway, after being kicked out of tons of private schools for victimless crimes (such as selling fake IDs), he goes to public school... And gets the crap beat out of him on his first day. When he comes home with a black eye, his mother sends him to a theripost, who puts him on Ritalin (because he thinks he has add, which he doesn't) and it gets him SUPER high.
All this happens in like the first 15 minutes of the movie, and it's SO GOOD!!! It gets a lot more eventful, but I don't want to spoil anything for anyone. It may sound like s movie about a teenage stoner, but it's not like that at all. It's actually pretty inspirational if you watch the whole thing.
Also, the last thing I did in the year of 2009 was see this movie for the first time. I never saw it again until today, but it stuck with me all year. I'm hoping that by starting out this year by doing thex last thing I did on a really great year, possibly the best year of my life so far, will make this year as great, if not better.
That's all. Just wanted to share that.
