Stays Four The Same

So, i was cleaning out the ol' computer when i found:
A LONG LOST FORGOTTEN PROJECT!!!!
Yep. I was planning to follow up Pirates and Princesses right away. but then... i didn't. so yeah. it isn't finished but i don't know that i will finish it at all. time to move on, right?

K, love you!
B2the3

Won't you please, please tell me who I am?

Ladies and Gentleman,
The Neon Duck as you have known her is no more.
She seems to have snuck away in the night.
Slipped into a shadow.
Or maybe she was stolen.
Kidnapped.
Lost her way.
At any rate I must find her, she will return.
For I would hate to...change.
~Much love
A Different Duck

I'm a... What?!?!

you guys... this is depressing... i'm a... a... HUFFLEPUFF!

facebook told me like a half hour ago and since then, i've googled and failed to disprove this. i even answered questions like "which ghost is often sitting with you in the great hall?" with "the grey lady" and "which house do you least want to be in?" with "HUFFLEPUFF!!!"
UGH! what do we even know about hufflepuffs? (they're particularly good finders...) this makes me sad.
i kind of always thought i was a ravenclaw... maybe even a gryffendor. BUT HUFFLEPUFF?
these are some examples of why i'm NOTHING like ANY of the Hufflepuffs:

1. Hannah Abbot: Pure. Blood. obviously i'm muggle born.
2. Justin Flinch-Fletchy: He idolized Gilderoy Lockhart. I seriously wanted to punch both of them
3. Zacharais Smith: Voted most likely to betray Dumbledore's Army. I think I'm a little more loyal than that, thanks.
4. Cederic Digory: He's dead. I'm not. And I don't really have a thing for Cho Chang... who my sister idolizes BTW. Ew.
5. Nymphadora Tonks: She marries a were-wolf. I'm OBVIOUSLY on Team Edward... lol jk. This is the only one I can remotely relate to, but really all she does is support whoever the leader is. And she's Draco's cousin... which is weird.

Ok. NOT A HUFFLE PUFF!!

B

tell me the truth so i can muse over it and become torn up inside

do you think im making kyle my whole world?

Love//Hate//Muse

dear world,
i love you. so i recycle. i hate you. i'm kind of stuck here. and why? because of your stupid gravity.
love//hate,
b

hey, guys. i'm grounded here for like eternity. here's what i'll be doing until may:

• pretending to do homework
• rereading my favorite stories
• wishing i had reeds to practice
• maybe actually doing homework
• writing poetry... sad and depressing?? maybe.

which brings me to my next point. so i might have mentioned this guy i met in the play last year. abby knows. i have recently realized our classes are all really close. i think he's my muse. i wrote a really good poem about him, and if it gets edited soon, i'll post it.

love you lots,

becca

APUSH PROCRASTINATION!

Monday was just one of those days.
Tuesday was hard.
Wednesday I thought everything was starting to look up
Thursday it seemed to fall apart
Friday was fine.



I wish my weeks weren't so bipolar.
News on the DUCKY FRONT: I have transformed my life into a never ending orchestra rehearsal I am LOVING IT, assuming everything all works out with everything. And we all know what assuming does, especial since Kettman is involved.
I love you all and I miss you all. . .even though I see you everyday
~Love or whatever,

Mailmen and Hamsters

Today was a good day in English Class! Laura and I spent most of the time goofing off and discussing things that had little to do with English other than that being the language these things were spoken in.

Laura: You know what I've always wanted to do, you know, if it wasn't like animal cruelty? I've always wanted to buy like a whole bunch hamsters and just like stuff a mailbox full of them so when the mailman came it would be all HAMSTERS!!!
Me: Aw... poor hamsters....
Laura: Maybe I'll just get a bunch of ugly feeder rats.
Me: GOLDFISH! Do it with goldfish!
Both of Us: *random see-through mailbox tangent*
Laura: But what if once all of the hamsters come out, the mailman gets so scared, he like, steps on the gas and runs over a hamster?
Me: Hamsters are tough. My dad stepped on my hamster once.
Laura: Yeah, my cat ate my hamster once.
Me: Really? My HAMSTER ate my hamster once

Love! B

It's Hard Enough To Be Here Everyday...

I'm just going to skip the big apology about not every posting on the blog since that seems to be how all my posts start. I just want to point out that I do read the blog. A lot actually. I just never really have anything to post about I guess. Just want you all to know that I'm still around. I really made this post to share this awesome song with you guys. MW, I don't think you'll really like it. It just really kind of...inspired me? I don't know, I just really like it and it would be awesome if B could add it to the playlist if you guys like it! It's "Maybe We'll Make it After All" by Stages and Stereos. You know Jason Lancaster? The guy that was the main singer in Mayday Parade and now Go Radio? This is his little brother Daniel Lancaster and their sister. Just thought I would mention it since it's so hard to find good music these days. And MW, if you correct a single spelling mistake in my post I'm never going to post ever again!

And this is who we are

And this is what we've made

Don't close your eyes

Don't be afraid to fall

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And all that they'll say

Is failure's the only thing we'll find

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well I'm wide awake

Unwilling to take advice from anybody else

I've already lost everything that's ever

Made any kind of sense

And I'm so proud of what I've made

On top of the world and not afraid to see the end

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My heart's filled with hope

Of getting the hell out of here

It's hard to be here everyday

This place is damned and God can't save it

I can't just get up and walk away

And let the narrow minds get by and lead the way

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My blood runs too think to let this go

The weight of the world is on my shoulders

Well, I'm at the point of no return

Oh while everyday is getting shorter

I'm sure that you hear my heart beat

From miles and miles away

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well I'm wide awake

Unwilling to take advice from anybody else

I've already lost everything that's ever

Made and kind of sense

But I'm so proud of what I've made

On top of the world and not afraid to see the end

We Laugh, We Love, We Meddle.

Tired. Of it all. Stupid Drama. And most of it is actually something I got MYSELF into. Why? Why do I do these things?
Currently texting with Lucas about his little love triangle with Jessica and the Pretty Percussionist Girl (PPG... but not like the Power Puff Girls). I love Jessica, but she's a little much. My phone's really sparatic so I'm afraid Kyle thinks I just don't want to talk with him, which isn't the case.
Speaking of whom, I have a boyfriend. And I am the akward one. I guess because of band, I'm never going to really have any time to hang out with him except AT BAND. Which is usually really stressful and tiring anyway. OSU marching band on Saturday, so we'll hang probably all day.
Then maybe catching up with Haley that night. Life didn't used to have to be so planed. I used to live on whims and have free time and God, I used to smile. Now... I always feel like napping.
Maybe someday, I'll wake up. Or... not.
Hugs......
Baby Becca Bear.

creativity escapes me!

i cannot write.

i really cant.

i havent written a new song since... june? idk. although today some lyrics popped into my brain during math and i wrote them down, it turned out to be a worship song? i have no idea where that came from. oh well we'll see where it goes i guess.

i really really really cant wait until madrigal tryouts! although theyre in april so i guess i shouldnt hold my breath...

davidson gymnastics is a grand total of 2: me and a frosh with back problems. fanfreakingtastic.

love you with all my heart <3

pookies

I don't brain storm. By brain gets stormed.

So I don't have much to report on. . .
But to save B a seizure I will post anyhow. . .
So good people:
I love theatre.
And life on a 7:30AM to a 5:11PM basis.
The rest of the time is usually me freaking out or sleeping...So I guess I also love life between 10:30PM to 6:00AM
That's pretty good?
I only freak out Approximately 5 hours and 29 minutes. And I'm dead tired for about an hour and a half.
So the total of unpleasant time in my day on average is about 7 hours and 59 minutes. Which is only about 33% of my day! And that's only an average day!
Can you tell I'm freaking out about precalc?
LOVE YOU ALLL!
~NEONDUCK

Possibly Possible

Yo. This is me saying that the September Updates are (FINALLY) done!

Layout: Too busy to custom make one (esspecially since it's practically October...). Thought I'd go with a fall theme because I'm really tired of all this 60-90 degree fluxing. Make up your mind!

Playlist: It's different. I added lots of new bands. Par usual, it's alternative-ska-punk. If you guys have any suggestions (so I don't have to practically kill myself looking up new stuff every month) seriously, just tell me.

Um, so what's new with me? Slacking. Having fun with it. Need to copy my AP notes in pen, cause they're currently all pencil and we've got a check in a week. Too much math in science. AWESOME english essay that I'm beasting it up in. Cute boy sits next to me in Geology. He likes Edgar Allen Poe and superheros and my music (sort of), but he's pretty anoying. French is soo easy right now. And I've decided to play tuba full time. Except for ensembles/clarinet chior, which were the only really fun parts any way.

Oh, and if you didn't get the memo, I still love the blue-eyed wonder hamster. And I hateeeeee myself for it. It's not fun at all, because I don't even like him, but I want him to be happy. And I want to make him happy. And I'm a pathetic excuse for a teenager.

Kind of on a music kick right now. Hence all the new bands on the playlist. Reel Big Fish is really good, but I didn't pick one of their's because I couldn't decide. Had a big Paramore revival and "Animal" by Neon Trees is one of my favorites right now.

Love you!
B2the3

I was thinking to myself: This could be heaven or this could be hell.

~Well the past two weeks have been a combination of heaven and hell.
~A 1:1 ratio.
~So I have nothing to say.
~No complaints
~No warm fuzzies.
~Room Temperature
~Slushy
~All I know for sure is I miss you all.
~Now I must delve into that homework.
~Optimism takes energy.
~Much love,

First Day: An Accurate Account (Sophmore Edition)

Follow-up post (we don't get many of these)... to "First Day: An Accurate Account." Today was okay, I guess, but I am thinking that this could get old. FAST.

FIRST DAY: SOPHMORE YEAR

Sleep through night :) Wake up to radio alarm. "Half of My Heart" by John Mayer. Hate. That. Song. Bad omen? Get dressed. Actually look cute. Eat breakfast. Peaches and Cereal. Yum! Still hung up on the whole John Mayer episode. Go back to room. Repeat "Ordinary Day" by Vanessa Carlton to reverse bad juju. Still don't know if it worked. Probably not so much. Grab lunch. Head out to Allie's car. Her fuel gage reads empty but she says it'll still run. DEFIANTLY A BAD OMEN.

Get to school. Double check 1st period. To A174... Away!!!

Sit by Shane, Shorty, Phoebus, and Laura. Abby comes in. YAY!!! Seating is NOT alphabetical. Good Omen. Decide that I like Mr. Whitt for this reason alone. He seems cool. Should have memorized his speach. I heard it 5 more times today.

Second period. Chemistry. With Laura, Elliot, Julie and Tyler (who dated my sister). Teacher's not there. We have a first day sub. BAD OMEN. Not cool. Plus a pre-test that I bombed. Grrr. Doodle my favorite doodle.

Third Period. English. Didn't think I had ANY classes with Hae, so when she walks in, I am elated and discount some of the first day sub downer-ness. Like the teacher. Missed being hyper with Sarah. So glad to be back.

Fourth Period. Chemistry. A quote from Mr. McCabe: "Oh, you guys have backpacks... Do you not know where your lockers are? Because I don't tolerate backpacks." I DON'T TOLERATE BACKPACKS. Yeah. That's right.

Fifth Period. Pre-calc. I love Mrs. Horne. She was super nice (and seemed to have forgoten what a bad student I am). Don't know that I'm going to like Jag Period. SILENT Jag Period. Filled out "scrapbook" page. Number that best descibes me: 3. Reasoning: Wally West was the 3rd person to be the Flash and the first Kid Flash to be promoted. This represents the growth I'd like to experience this year. Read literally two sentances of Naomi and Ely's No Kiss List before it's time for lunch.

Lunch. D-Lunch by myself. Laura and Olivia are there, but not really. Sit by a freshman. A profane freshman named Aly. Who knows about the Shadow Hare. Kind of looks mad. Elina sits down. D-Lunch is lonely.

Sixth period. French. I'm late. Mme. Lawrence seems cool. Sit infront of Phoebus again. Realize I haven't seen Jesse all day. Die a little bit.

Band. Ew. I'm so tired and I watch the rest of the world go home as I carry around metal the size and weight of a small child on my shoulders. But I'm playing well now. And by that I mean: I play GOOOOOOOOOOOOD.

This year will probably suck. Majorly. But I'm holding on tight to my sanity and am determined not to lose it. Promise you won't forget me?

Love...

B is for Bummed

Superhero Madness!!

It has begun. I have made super-human alter-egos of all of us and spent most of today perfecting them. Unfortunatly, I've yet to come up with names for most of them and I think Lindsey's costume may be close to copyright infringement... but I did really work hard, so here it is. Going clock-wise starting at the blue/black panel.

1. Black Widow- Lindsey: Spidey-powers and a weakness to strong winds... what could be more fun?
2. Banshee- Becca: Sonar-Screams... I scream circles!! Yeah, boi! And flight. Back story? Exposure to ecto-plasm.
3. (No Name Yet)- Laura: Gadgets mostly. Chic Cyborg with a hatred of manual input functions.
4. (No Name Yet)- Olivia: Invisibility and speed. Think the Incredible Kids.
5. (No Name Yet)- Jesse: Ninja-like reflexes plus a red belt. Dude, you're set!
6. Pyromaniac- Abby: Can the name just say it all?

Much Love and Geekiness,

B

MARLON BRANDO WAS A JERK OF ALL JERKS (trying to clean up my language a bit)

It is a fact universally acknowledged that Marlon Brando was a hunk to end all hunkdom (I mean HAVE YOU SEEN on the water front?!?!) The Beatles based their look off of him for crying out loud! However, some startling information as occurred to me and I am here to dish the dirt on this rebel without a cause. Marlon Brando Had two wives, which isn't all that uncommon, but that is just the beginning. Neither lasted more than two years, within a five year span in the late sixties. After which Brando through marriage to the wind and fathered four illegitimate children, two of which with the wife he had just divorced. The other two with Asian and Tahitian women who remain 'unnamed'. He did, however marry yet another actress in '62 and with a great mustering fidelity he managed to stay with her for a full ten years. However, he only had two children with her adopted another and to top it had a child with the former maid, which might have something to do with the divorce in '72. After which plenty of biographers 'suggest' that he may in fact be a great deal of other people's daddy.
So at the end of the day he has a high score of:
3 wives
8+ children
Go you big daddy. Actually polygamy is still practised in a few Mormon sects, so they might be neck and neck with Brando.
HOWEVER: Brando was never quite a saint on screen, even in Guys and Dolls, one of his significantly cleaner rolls, he was a gambling conniving man. And it gets worse in "A Street Car Named Desire", "The Godfather" and "Rebel Without a Cause". The only times he gets anywhere close to saintly was in "On the waterfront" when he plays the sadly ignorant once glorious boxer. He has been in so many excellent movies, and he is a stupendous actor, not to mention a dreamboat, so I guess that'll give him some excuse.
On the bright side Joan Beaz is still awesome.

OKAYDOKE guys the rant has now come to a close, none of you probably know what any of that was about but that's okay because no one really gets on lately.
~NEON DUCK

hello world

okay so i definately havent posted since.... june... yeah i know i fail whatever. i just havent really wanted to spend hours typing for an hour to update all of you....
RECAP OF THE SUMMER:
idk
anyway then came DUH DUH DUHHHHN:
CHOIR CAMP!!!!!
and it was so freaking fantastic. the first night was like really awkward cause i barely knew anyone but then monday was so fun!!! we had like 6 hours of rehearsal everyday and i didnt mind it at all except for it was cold in the morning. and also that was drag night, which was so freakinghilarious!!!!!! I dressed like a ghetto sports dude and jeremy one of my friends from tetelestai had this pink dress and a boa and an amazing beehive wig. it was great. then tuesday was celeb night which was really fun, and we also started the volleyball tourneys. my team decided we were going to try to lose so we wouldnt have to play the rest of the week but we ended up winning :/ so yeah and wednesday we had the pig roast and also we played suck and blow. not what it sounds like! you have to pass a card down a line of people using your mouths so you suck... and blow. thursday was fun except everyone was loosing their voices, and thursday was also date night which was so dumb because it was like the hottest night and theres no airconditioning in any of the buildings. kyle myers took me. the guys like, auction off the girls, its so sexist and dumb but its like a huge deal. anyway, after night rehearsal a group of us took a night hike down to gohst ridge and thats where i had my first kiss (OMFREAKING G!!!!!!!) and the stars were like amazing :) kyle myers who is my boyfriend now was my first kiss. so yeah :) and friday was really fun, it was alumni night and so this girl who graduated 2 years ago taught us how to balance a beer bottle in our cleave so you can have both hands available. fun. we had another hike that night. let your imiginations run wild :) then it was over and i was really sad. i love the music that were doing, were actually doing fly me to the moon which used to be on the blog playlist. i was like SCOREEEEEE!
after choir camp, kyle met my parents and we started going out and hes pretty dang awesome.

a couple weeks ago i turned 16 and still havenot planned a party or anything... ill get around to it maybe. i wouldnt know who to invite! dont worry all of you would def be on the list but idk if i would want it to be big or small so idk yet.

Love
Pooks :)

BAND CAMP (and other such nonsense)

Hey everybody!
I'm sooooo tired and I can't feel my tuba arm. Gretchen is the most amazing squad leader ever (we had cookies today.) My freshman is really cool. His name is Kyle and he's basically a mini-Isaiah who doesn't invade my personal space. Isaiah's eyebrow piercing (don't call it an eyebrow ring, he gets mad...) is really feminine. Josh Jaccod: Jerkwad is really bad at marching. He's like a six year old boy... he wasn't wearing a shirt today and you could tell that he was wearing dinosaur boxers. I wanted to wash my eyes out. I think this is going to be a good year.
Let's see here... messing with postal workers is fun. I went to the post office to buy stamps so that i could send my camp friends letters, and I decided that it would be a good idea to try out my southern accent. They totally bought it! It was great.
I LOOOOOOVE yakasoba (mircowavable noodles). I think I could live off that stuff.
That's all Folks!

Imma hypochondriac!

~my right wrist hurts after days of pottery, typing and cello. I might have tendinitis.

~I think I had a fever last night.

~Haven't been sleeping past few nights....insomnia?

~Stomach ache for the past few days!

~Headache! Maybe a migraine....

~My face hurts. Bet I have face cancer.

~Worried about my mental health, but it never has been quite stable.

~THE NEON DUCK. CRRRRRRAZY GOOD. (Apparently I'm a pop tart.)

Sketching...

So I'm going to start an art project sort of thing to keep me occupied for a while and I want your opinion on it. I'm thinking about doing a big drawing/collage/painting thing that has all of us in it, but I don't know for sure what I want to do yet. I know I want to somehow incorperate our screen names into it, maybe in the background or something, but I'm not sure how. My idea right now is to draw out all of us in pencil and then accent each person with a different colored sharpie. Then the background will be a collage and behind each person there will be stuff involving their screen name and personality and it will all be kind of in their accent color, so the background would blend from color to color. Is that lame? Should I just do random stuff in the background? I kind of like the random stuff idea better. Sorry that this is a boring post but I really want your opinion. And I'm going to put "The Guide to Nerdiocity" at the top....I think. But I need to know what color you want, I'm guessing MW wants black, and if you want anything specific in the picture. It's going to be fairly big, you know, if I ever actually start it, and I don't know what I'm going to do with it, but I just wanted something to work on. So give me your ideas, opinions, criticism, ect.

these past few days:

So family trip started Sunday:
~Realized I'm a bit of a scatter-brained dolt, courtesy of the doctor.
~Kinda felt like crying.
~Okay I might have cried.
~ANYWAY I enjoy King Louis XVI's art more than all of Italy's finest...oh yeah, because thousands of french peasants were starving to death and sitting in a pile of their own poo, I forgot.
~Got some ceramics ideas.
~Saw cannons that belonged to a pope. Which is quite ironic if you think about it.
~Saw some daggers with intricately carved handles
~Medieval men were tiny! (Fact courtesy of the medieval armor.)
~Read a book about Springsteen, who I forgot was super awesome.
~Saw Elvis' SUPER SEXY purple car. He had his initials on every inch of that thing!
~Saw Michel Jackson's super sparkly studded glove and thriller outfit!
~Saw all kinds of BEATLE stuff, such as John Lennon's Sgt. Pepper out fit....yeah.
~Hendrix's couch smelled very strongly of something completely illegal which made me lol.
~Hendrix also had a variety of capes.
~Bruce Springsteen had very messy handwriting, but not as bad a Janis Joplin. Oh and my hand writing looks most like AC/DC's.
~Which was super awesome to see the paper on which classics were born.
~ And then I came home, drove my dad to his office, drove back and spent 3 hours in the studio.
~Good days.
~I'm leaving for a cabin tomorrow.
~NEON

pirates and princesses

ok, so it's 1 a.m. and i should have been asleep hours ago... but i'm too excited for lakeside. i can't find my baseball glove (there's a tournament one day)... and other than that i'm ready to go. but today after packing i made this cute short video. if you want to be entertained for the next minute and 32 seconds... click play.

THE NEON SHADES OF STUPIDITY!

I make stupid decisions.

And have stupid impulses.

And maybe not acting on them is the stupidest decision of all.

Just a thought.

~Duck.

stranger things have happened to me

our family just adopted two adorable kittens!! :) the humane society is amazing. one is a gray short-hair named kronos (i named him!) and the other one is a long haired tabby that looks like our older cat. her name is connie and i guess she's my responsibility.
my muse has arrived in the form of a polaroid named ethel. she is my new camera circa 1997, and i absolutly love her. i found out film is really expensive though, so i won't be taking too many pictures, but i found a place that sells 20 packs for $10, so maybe all hope is not lost.
playradioplay! (one of my fave bands) is now analog rebellion, which is cool.
and, um... right! f.y.i. starting next sunday, i'll be droping off the edge of the earth for two weeks (camp, then grandma wait's cabin in michigain). i really want to hear from y'all at camp, so please write me!! i'll be sending post cards and such to you guys. :)
with that- i leave you!
b to the three *heart*

Mush~Homes~Tups

Hey guys! So I havn't posted a video in a while and had a lot of old video clips on my computer, and new ones, and decided to make this video of NEON, POOKS, AND I! (Are you happy MW?!) It's basically just us being stupid and messing around. So you don't really have to watch it, but you can if you want, I don't really care. Just got bored and wanted to do something with those videos. But this is taking a freaking long time to upload....I hope I'm doing this right...I don't think I am...The video is just a black screen with a little red X in the top corner...I'm guessing that's bad...hmm....oh wait, I fixed it. Crisis averted. Is that the term? I'm not really sure...anyways. So I've been really busy doing a whole lot of nothing these past few days, so we have to start making plans to do stuff. Oh, and guess what? My sister is leaving for this CCAD college preview course thing on Sunday and she's gonna be gone for three whole weeks! You do know what this means right? Party! Speaking of parties, what are we doing for Pooks and Neon's birthdays? I know we talked about it a little but were official plans ever made? ARGH! This is taking forever to upload...in the meantime I think I'll share some of the best saying I can find while killing time...

~ Neon (while under the influence of a lot of sugar): "You know you're fat when you can't fit under the blanket, the blanket has to fit over you! *drunken laughter*"
~ Batman...or Olivia...one of the two: "Some days you just can't get rid of bombs."
~ B: "Well you know, I did puppets, and I usually played the duck so..."

~ "Chuck Norris destroyed the periodic table, because Chuck Norris only recognizes the element of surprise!"

Haha, sorry. I had to throw in some nerdy Chuck Norris jokes. Anyways, you've probably heard a lot of those or read them from my qoute book because it's really hard to find funny, not-perverted, sayings online. I kind of gave up and got my book. This thing still isn't loaded....I give up. And I'm to lazy to rewrite a post without the video so you probably just wasted a couple minutes of your life reading this seemingly endless and pointless post! Sorry! But if you've actually read this far it means that you're and awesome friend and I love you! Again, sorry about the video. I'll try to fix whatever's wrong with it and try to post it again some other time. Ok, now I'm done! WAIT! Now it says "Processing Video" instead of "Uploading Video"! Yeah! It's gonna work! It's done! w00t! Ok, enjoy!

MENOMENOM

I'm feeling a little nostalgic, I just watched Toy Story 3. IT was very good....but a little dark, for pixar.

Ums, 5 days left of summer gym! 5 days left of gym period! THEN I CAN GET AS FAT AS I WANT WITH NO GYM TEACHER TO ANSWER TO!

My sense of humor is coming back!

I"m getting all sorts of things accomplished!

But I miss seeing you all together.

I believe a hang out is in order.

I went to FYE and blew all my money on music (MY ONE WEAKNESS)

Music of the Minute:
Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros
Airbourne Toxic Event
The Mountain Goats

I've been a crazy British drama rampage! ONE BBC MINISERIES AFTER ANOTHER AND ANOTHER!

I AM SO HAPPY!

Loving summer!

Not too much music being written, but wait! I've been working on a piano part for shades of blue.

SO that is all.

~NNNNNNNEON

i need a hug

kentucky was hell. nobody talked to me the whole time. i was so alone. AND i forgot stamps so i did write to you guys, but they wouldn't get any where with out postage. didn't make it to saana's because i passed out the second i got home and no one woke me up. i had to deal with cassie jo drama alllllllllllll day. i have three people outwardly hate me (FOR NO REASON!!!!!) and an entire youth group inwardly pity me. grrrrrg. and mr. o wants me to switch instruments... again. not baritone. sousaphone. because christain said no. i thought i was back in love with ocean blue, but then he was a jerk to me so i hate myself and him sooooooooo much. would someone come steal me away because unless i get ME out of my head i may explode.
i love you guys.

Day #1

Hey guys, so I left for Florida around 6:30 this morning and drove for about 13 hours! It was pretty uneventful. There was a lot of farm land, and then tons of trees, billboards, and more trees. Nothing much to look at. Now we're in Savannah, Georgia and are going to stay here all day tomorrow to see stuff around here. Oh! On the way here we stopped at this one gas station and there was an old person biker gang! I was going to get them on video, but they probably would have stabbed me. Anyways, in the gas station there were a bunch of jars of pigs feet, it was really nasty, so I took a picture to show you guys later. A little while after we left there we saw the gang on the road and I got some really funny video of them. Speaking of video, I don't think I'll be able to post any videos until we're actually at the condo in Florida. I really tried getting it to work on the laptop but you all know how much technology loves me, therefor I'll have no videos for you for the next few days. Oh my god, the best part was this gas station we passed called El Cheapo! I thought it was hilarious...don't judge, me there was nothing interesting to look at so the El Cheapo was a nice change. The tree covered mountains lost their magic after about a mile. You know what I love about the south? It's hot, it's way prettier than flat Ohio, and every place you go has sweet tea. You know what I hate about the south? They're all confederates and want to burn us. Anyways, I miss all of you guys so much already! MW, there were a ton of moments when I found myself thinking "Wow, MW would make some hilarious perverted comment about this", I can't believe I'm actally saying that I miss your perverted-ness, haha. I'll get some videos up as soon as I can. I love you guys!

High School Sucks

Hey guys! So I just happened to come across this video last night and I wanted you to see it. I know I personally hate how high school is portrayed in tv and movies, so this video kind of made my day. Plus, the song is really catchy and I can't get it out of my head. I tried to upload it straight to the blog a million times but once I got it the video was too wide and it got covered up by the bar thing on the right. So I'm just going to post the URL and you can watch it on youtube.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWy_uauR-6k&annotation_id=annotation_785603&feature=iv

I don't know exactly what this is going to be...I think eventually they're making a full length film out of it, but it'll be something only played to youtube? I really have no idea. You can look into it more (they have their own channel), but I just thought the song was awesome!

first day of summeeeeeer!

yes, that is pronounced suh-meeeeeeeer ;]
ahhhhhhhhhh you do not understand how tired i am! for the past 2 days pretty much all i've done is sleep and read, and im getting sick. Yeah, crazy right? im pretty sure its my bodys way of saying "hey! Lindsey doenst have anything she has to do anymore, and she still doesnt have a life, so lets make every cell ache and get sick!" Thanks, body. and i feed you so well... haha :] omg im like so loopy right now....

(MW can skip this next part if he desires)
Liv, i thought of you today, i was bra shopping and found this one that looks like you. you know what i mean. i didnt buy it though...

OMG! im reading Percy Jackson, and im on Sea Of Monsters right now.... its so goooooood! and then Kates got mad at me because shes been reading it for weeks and i was reading it just today and im farther than her and now shes all mad because she says she never gets to finish books before me, which is only partially true, and told me to not read it before she finishes it. But it will take her forever! she doesnt even like reading! and theres 6 (right ND?) books in the series so am i going to have to wait for her to finish all of those too?!?!?! ugh :/

i love you alllllll and miss alllllllllllllllllllllllllllll of youuuuuus so we should hang when im better and not all crazy in the walnut :]
<3 Pook!e!kooP <3

Fail!

Well I just got an 80% on that STUPID test. Ah well it shouldn’t be too big of a deal…but if I got an 80 on that I’m COMPLETELY AND MOST ROYALY SCREWED for bio. Dear God in heaven I am so done with school! Like, literally. It’s summer. I’M FINISHED! I’m trying to make myself excited by using LOTS OF CAPITAL LETTERS AND EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!!!!!!

Nothing.

Not too excited yet….my grades are bringing me down. I’m REALLY worried about all these final grades…I’ve worked so hard to get A’s all year and now this just makes all that work kinda useless.

I just need to see how I did and I’ll be fine….I’m a spaz cake.

So anyway Em broke her knee cap on Sunday and that was really scary. She went to the ER but they just did x rays and recommended a docter…I wonder if they always do that. Like if I went in there and my brain was falling out and I was thrasing around in pain if they would x ray it and refer me to a good doctor. So she’s going to the doctor today and they’ll tell her if she needs sugery…let’s hope not!

So I’ve been playing nurse all week for my Emilybelle, and Matt’s been over a lot and I’ve been studying for exams that I’ve failed and all this sort of crap and now I’m done and I still happen to be FREAKING OUT.

~NEON

what i did this weekend

exams. are. ruining. my. life.

UGH!!!

i got tired of studing. so i started playing disney songs on the piano. it was a good way to forget about french. and how i failed at algebra on friday. god. longest weekend ever. have i told you lately that i love you? i've blushing in my dreams trying to forget how much i miss his voice. not that it matters. i had actually sucessfully forgotten totally about him (the guy i met in willy wonka) until two weeks ago at which point he inadvertantly has made all my hard work worthless. i get a little tired and out comes the drama! haha. i just kinda want to fast forward to being some where far far away for the summer where i can just sit and think and not have my aunt terry be any where in proximity. i hate her. any one want to trade families?

ok. breathing.
gonna sleep it off.
b-cubed

omg.....

okay so i was looking though some of the last day albums you guys were in... whats up with colasante... dare i say it, hes gotten *gasp!* almost... attractive?!?!?! why are there no pigs flying around! thats should not even be possible!!!!!!
~*an astonished pookie*~

Another Tragedy

So. Yesterday, if you havent heard, a junior at Davidson, Rico Butler, drowned in a quarry. It was the UA one right next to my house. he was there messing around with friends and i guess he got swept under by a current and drowned. Our school is a wreck.

reflection?

so now, its 9:45 Sunday night, and i have approxamately "2 minutes" left on the computer... lets see if i can do this in a time crunch.
MY FRESHMAN YEAR IN A NUTSHELL:
well, the beginning was REALLLLY hard. i was so grateful to have Erin Rose, Makenzie, and Saana with me to make HDvHS seem even a little bit like home. The schoolwork was exhausting, and i missed all of you so much, i would cry all the time. im pretty sure i had a little case of depression. I was enlightened a tad bit during the winter. Even though gymnastics took up almost allllllll of my time, i was at Bradley alot and so i felt a bit less depressed. i tried to make the best of my school year because i figure if i have to be stuck here (ive finally faced the reality that im not going to be able to transfer) i might as well have fun. I made a few friends, some of which i wish i hadnt made, its just toooooo much. Some friendships i wish i hadnt kept. But my fellow nerdy geekmates cheered me up a bit. Even though Aglebra 2 has been tough (understatement) thats one of my favorite classes. Bio is my favorite though, because we have so much fun! we had a party on friday, because we had 300+ points turned in that week between honors projects, pig dissections, quizzes and our 100 pt test. French this year has sucked so bad, you cant even imagine. Mme Homsi cant teach, she grew up in Lebanon and Paris,(where she spoke both french and english) so she doesnt know what its like to NOT KNOW ANY OF THE LANGUAGE AT ALL before you start learning it, and we pretty much havent learned anything. im not even kidding. its bad, and ive heard Mme Shepard is even worse. Choir has been awesome though, i love the people in my class and i made senior choir!!!!! And i have a solo!!! (wednesday 7:30 PAC its a whole song, one that IIIIII wrote, be there!)
Sports have been alright, gymnastics made me so mentally weak its such a hard sport. Its hard on everything, your life mostly, but your body and definately your mind. Track, even though it was hard, felt like a cake walk. i think i might have to look at it with a more positive attitude next year, because i could be really good but i put like 0 value into it this year and it showed.
Tetelstai and everything that i've done with my church outside of school has definately been a high point in my year. TTT rocked my world, so many experiences. i feel like ive matured because of it, alot. and then now that i go to youth groups, i feel like im in a way better space. And i found out that i LOOOOVE snowboarding :]
anyway im going to be grounded if i dont get off now, so love you all, see ya!
pookiefaceee:]

Middle School!

Hey, so I know that I just posted a video last night, but I'm really bored and I finially finished this one after working on it for a few weeks. Yes weeks, I had to find all these pictures through other peoples facebooks and it took forever. Oh yeah, I didn't say this on the other video, but make sure you turn of the music on the bottom of the blog before watching this. And I don't know why, but the pictures get kind of pixelated when I convert them, so sorry. I hope you still like it! I know making this brought back some pretty good memories for me.

SUMMER OF '10

This summer I am doing an ecology project!
Instead of bumming rides off of people ALL the time I'm bike riding to places I would usually go in car. If it is within a 5 mile radius.

Exceptions: When I'm on a tight schedule

Dangerous roads (I ain't biking on Alton Darby)

When I have to take Bart with me. I so should have stuck with viola....actually no, that would not be fun.

OTHER THINGS I HOPE TO DO THIS SUMMER BUT I ACKNOWLEDGE HALF OF THEM WILL FALL THROUGH THE CRACKS:

~Planting my Garden
~Finishing my book
~Reading a lot
~Making Pots
~Bike Riding
~Seeing you cool cats
~Summer Gym (Mandatory time taker uper)
~Orchestra Camp for a week! (SO EXCITED)
~Bradley orchestra stuff
~String trio with Kettmans
~Driving time
~DO we have summer homework?
~ABC!
~QUALITY TIME ON THE HAMMOCK
~Going to the pool more than twice
~ CHILLING
~Enhancing my musical knowledge
~Finding my personality again (school robbed me of it)
~Camping
So that's a preview of future blogging topics and hopefully you can keep me to them!

~Approximately 7 days of school left! w0000t!

~pooks~

Flying Machines

Your laugh
Would make the airy wings
Of a Butterfly
Fall to Earth as bricks

And your smile
Although it has flown on the wings
Of an Eagle
Stays firmly on the ground

Behind your eyes
There hides the steely wrath
Of a Raven
Hiding the past from me

Your hands, My Love
Have been firm around the neck
Of a Dove
Crying for his life

In your heart
Has been long preparing for the flight
Of your many Flying Machines
Wishing to be forever

Among The Birds

The Pretty Reckless and A Preview!

This is one of my new favorite bands!! It's called "The Pretty Reckless" and you may recognize the lead singer. It's Taylor Momsen who is on "Gossip Girl" (which I may or may not have a slight addiction to!) and her voice is actually really amazing. This song, "Make Me Wanna Die", is their first one, but they've got more and I really like their sound. Don't you?



Um, so I'm writing a new story... again. It's basically about this girl, Mittie (I LOVE THIS NAME!!! It's short for Matilda, which I don't particularly enjoy.) and in chapter 1, she starts recieving letters from "the guru" who insists that it is her job to find 11 other people who posess the spirits of the zodiac sun signs (she's leo). Um, basically it's action/adventure meets corny comedy. I like the style I'm using here, so I hope my muses stay around for a while!

Love for Now and Always:

Spring Break Closing Post.

I really do not like spring break.

It's basically a week to swim in my head and drown in odd little thoughts.....

I played at two palm Sunday masses today....

I wore suspenders.

I do not enjoy to prospect of the rest of today.

I have accomplished very little this week:


I went to Maryland

Saw my perspective college

Window shopped

Played Cello

played a zombie video game thing....he he

Got awesome nerd glasses

Went to borders

Read a little

Hung with Thomas

Saw pookies' show

Hung with cload and b

GAHHHHH! time trails for varsity track are TOMORROW! i have to admit, i havent done a sprint workout THIS ENTIRE SEASON. the first day i went to throwing, after that ive been going to pole vault, and lets be honest, they arent that vigorous of workouts. Dangggg. So probably wont make varsity. Beatty is making me do the 300 hurdles. I was hoping for the 100 to be my only running. i suck at 300's. prolly cause i've never done them. The 200 hurdles was like, the PERFECT distance; enough time to gain speed, not too short to sprint 1111110% but not too long. they dont exist in hi!school.

In other news, I LETTERED FOR GYMNASTICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLUS MY TEAM VOTED FOR ME FOR THE SPORTSMANSHIP AWARD!!!!!!!!!!!! :] :] :]

My cousin Samuel (sahm- you- elle, not sa- mule) visited from france!!! Fun fun fun!!!


I miss you and im terribly sorry i couldnt come to B's party.

Pookers.

lets see if this works.



aha! okay so im taking the pledge to not say the r- word as a deragutory term any more. its something that i said alot and i shouldnt have, its mean and completely unfair.

Sick.

I feel awful. I threw up in band. The single worst class to throw up in (except maybe home ec.). I never get sick, but i just couldn't do it today. it felt like dieing. that is so not how that word is spelled, but i'm not even going to fix it. also, i've given up on capitalization. so there.
i am a very clever block of wood. i screwed this whole thing up for the third time. god, i'm stupid.
abby, your beau was rather friendly today. surely he's realized that we're going to have to live with sharing you :) i digress.
slept in. can sleep make you sick? like you get too much sleep and your imune system, like, doesn't wake up? i'm sick and looney. i'm thinking the only way to cure this is with a nap, so i'm outie... hahaha. i need to watch emma all the way through... how does friday sound, ducky? ok. now i'm outie. and on fire. sleep!

B (the very clever block of wood.)

My parents just ruined my life.

im crying right now.

well then.

I wasnt allowed to go to youth group tonight which completely sucked. I needed to "spend time with family since i havent seen them in like a week and i need to go to bed early to start my week right." wow, um i was on facebook the whole time. Great spending time with ya! psh. (both my parents arent even here right now cause they have classes with nick and katy at the church.) And then i find out that Youth group was really fun tonight and that Tayte cut his hair and it looks really cute. SO MAD.

Last night i had a breakdown and i was like i need to go to bradley and i was figuring out how everything would work and explaining everything about davidson. I feel like, from what you guys say, the stress level at Bradley is waaaaaaaaaaay less then at Davidson. At my school theres this need to be like, better than everyone in everything and theres so much pressure. and so my mom was like okay well it would take a lot to consider but we can look into you transferring, but dont get your hopes up too high. So i didnt. I mean, i know it would take a heck of a lot to be able to go, but i would definately be up for figuring out how it all could work. Today we were trying to figure out my schedule and everything ( algebra 3, honors chem, french 3, ap us history, honors english, choir, health and photo 1 ) and i was like, ugh mom i need to go to bradley next year. and she was like " im sorry thats not an option." i was like "WHAAAAAAAAAAT? But you just said.... " " i know i know im sorry but me and your dad talked it out and its just, ugh i have to leave to take nick and katy we'll talk later. "
SO FREAKING MAD.

Tetelestai part auditions were today, and as you know, i was sick yesterday, and i sounded horrible. At least i thought so. and i was so freaking nervous!!!!!!!!!! but rehersal was fun and really tiring today.

Well, i guess ill go.

I love you all.

• I AM HONEST WITH MYSELF AND OTHERS.
• I AM MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY HEALTHY.

I read somewhere that the best way to help yourself acheive a goal is to state it in the present tense and visualize yourself acheiving it. So. Yeah.

I also want to get into some cool music this decade. I have almost no idea what kind of music was popular in the last few years and I'd like to be able to carry on a decent music related conversation with someone that doesn't consist of "Hey did you hear... by...?" "No, I have no idea what that band is."

So yeah, carry on,

Just taking time.

!I really think in English we should start and end sentences with punctuation!

?Why should we wait until the very end to have inflection?

.Anyway, aside from commenting upon our languages' punctuation I also wanted to say thank you.

?Why?

.Because you guys are the best people I could ask for to cushion any blows in my life.

.The best people for the job of 'Keeping Duck Sane', you do it well, and it's no small task. .I take my hat off to you,well I would if I were wearing a hat.

.You all do a whole lot more than even I realize on a day to day basis.

. I came to this realization while sitting in ceramics. .And I think it's really sad that only then did I notice how import you guys are to me, and that I should never take it for granted.

.So thank you, cool cats, for being those people.

,Love,
