THAT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!
POSTED AT 02:39 PM

OK GUYS SO ON WEDNESDAY I WENT TO SEE MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE LIVE AND IN PERSON WITH MY FRIEND MEGAN (aka Twilight Fairie) AND IT WAS FUCKIN AMAZING!!!!!!!!! THEY ARE SO GOOD LIVE!!!!!!!!! I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE WHEN THEY PLAYED CEMETERY DRIVE AND GHOST OF YOU (Cemetery Drive is my fav. song of Three Cheers and Ghost of You was just absoultly beautiful) THAT CONCERT WAS FUCKIN AMAZING!!!!!! For a full list of the details go to my friend Twilight Fairie's blog and just scroll down, I am too lazy to type all that happend BUT JUST KNOW THAT IT WAS FUCKIN AMAZING!!!! I GOT A POSTER AT THE CONCERT (which was my goal when I went, was to come home with a poster and I did!) AND MIGHT I SAY FRANK LOOKS FUCKIN HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FRANK I WANT TO JUMP YOU!!!!!!!!!!! Ugh I am so mad at myself that I didn't do this entry sooner (it is now Friday afternoon) but I have been to busy too, I am mad at myself for it! Grrr....

But yes it was one of the best concerts I have ever been too! Everybody was moshin on the floor (we didn't get floor tickets) and everybody was jumpin in the seats. You see it was a really small arena, it was at Utah State and the arena was a little bit bigger than like a basketball court, so no matter where you were you had kick ass seats! It was so much cool! And it was so much fun to just jump in the seats (you can't very well mosh in the seated areas without seriously injuring yourself and others) Oh man it was so much fun! UGH! I LOVED IT!!!!!

After about five songs Gerard (lead singer) looked at these two guys down in the mosh pit and was like, "I want you two to kiss." The guys thought that Gerard wanted to kiss them but he was like, "No I'm not going to kiss you I want you to kiss each other. Come on give em a big sloppy one, get some tongue in there!" then he looked out to the audience and said, "Everybody start making out! Just find somebody and start making out!" Oh man, it was great.

He had everybody jumping on almost all the songs and he had us shout "FUCK YEAH!" for the two opening bands (Reggie and the Full Effect, and Alkaline Trio) and some guy whose name I don't remember (it was this guys birthday you see)

It was also really cool cause they played us a new song that will be on the upcoming album (release date has yet to be announced, they are still working on it) called "Shut Up and Play" and it was amazing! It was so good! I LOVED IT SO MUCH I PUT IT UP AS THE TITLE FOR MY TABULAS! *points to title of tabulas* I was so sad, My Chemical Romance is going to take a break after the tour is over, Gerard said we weren't going to see them again for a while, everybody in the audience yelled "BOO!" and he said, "Yeah its a fuckin tragedy"

The last song they played was, "You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison" but then after that everybody in the arena was like, "ONE MORE SONG! ONE MORE SONG!" After a few minutes they came back out and played two! They played "The Vampires Will Never Hurt You" and as there last song "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)" It was like the perfect ending to that concert, everybody was jumping, people were crowd surfing, everybody was screaming the lyrics. It was the best!

Once again for a full list of what happened at the concert (I didn't write some down cause I'm lazy) please go here http://www.tabulas.com/~Twilight_Fairie/ That is Megan's blog.

As a final closing note I would like to say that damn can Gerard way ever move his hips and shake his ass!

HURRY UP WITH THE NEW CD ALREADY!!!!! I WANNA HEAR IT!!!!!!!!!!!! COME BACK TO UTAH SOON YOU MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!!!!!!!

HOORAY!
POSTED AT 09:42 PM

*is jumping for joy* HOORAY! I FINALLY FINISHED THAT DAMN CONGRESS SPEECH FOR DEBATE!!! AND IT ONLY TOOK ME LIKE THE WHOLE DAY!!!!!!!!! You see I am a procrastinator, I like to put things off until the very last minute. Well I got all my information for my Congress Speech I needed to write for debate (it only took me like 4 hours, probably because I kept getting distracted and watching My Chemical Romance's "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)" music video and playing Minesweeper on my computer) then I took like 4 hours off telling myself I needed a break. Well I have been typing for like the past 4 hours (once again I get very easily distracted on the computer, plus I had to eat dinner) and I finally finished! HOORAY! It is a little long but if I just talk fast that shouldn't be a problem. I am going to look over it one more time and then print it! Hope Doherty doesn't get mad at me, I kinda changed my resolution around a little bit. *realizes she still hasn't studied for her test on China tomorrow for her History class* Oh! DAMNIT!!! *looks at time 10:41pm* Eh, I'll just peruse my notes before I go to sleep, look over them a little more thorougly tomorrow morning, and look at them again during lunch. Whatever, as long as I get a B or higher! Fare well! *poof*

My Bullshit Day
POSTED AT 05:20 PM as a favorite post

So today I had a "B" day for school, now on my B-day I never do anything, like in all of my classes I pretty much just sit there doing nothing really productive (the only productive thing I do all day is math, little bit in physics on the occasion).

So today in physics we were just doing a lab. For the lab all you had to do was tape like 6 pieces of paper together, roll a ball down them, mark where the ball was at every one second interval, and measure the distance. Well my partner Chase and myself tried like 8 times to get the ball going at the right speed so we could time it for 6 seconds, we couldn't ever get it to work, so Chase just looked up at me and said, "You do realize we can just bullshit this entire thing?" and I said, "Yeah, lets." So we just marked down some fake marks and measured them, we basically got the same results as every one else, we had a good line. So after we finished the lab write up (which took like 15 minutes) Chase went to the library to write his play for drama, and I just sat there listening to My Chemical Romance and reading my book.

Then in band we all walked in and there were all the Orchestra Pit kids (my school is doing Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, I hate that musical) so I figured we wouldn't be doing anything like we always do. Well about 20 minutes into class Bateman tells us that they were doing a performance for the elementary school kids so we would just go sit in the back of the auditorium. Well Sara, Megan, and myself just ducked into the bathroom and walked around for a bit. Then we went into the auditorium (it hadn't started yet) and then wandered around for a bit more. Then Sara and myself just left before it started (sara was going to see it again anyways and did I mention I hate that musical?) So we just kinda walked around for like 15 or 20 minutes. Then we decided to walk over to Albertson's (the grocery store) to buy a candy bar (Sara had like $1. 25) So we did. We got these new Strawberry Red Vines at 2/$1! It was a good deal, by the time we got back the bell was about to ring to go to our next class (English for Sara, Music Listening for me) so we made good time.

Then in Music Listening obviously Bateman wasn't there because he was directing the orchestra. So we had a sub, as usual I just did my math homework in that class (it is the perfect time to do it, why waste my time at home when I have an hour and a half free period) Nothing truly eventful happened. It was nice though because this hottie junior named Tom (plays the trombone, he is very cute!) was there today, so that made the class a little more enjoyable.

Then in Math we didn't really do anything, just took like a few notes on the next assignment and got our tests back. I got like 86/108, good enough for me! Its like a B or B-.

So that was my day, my day of doing absolutly nothing. Why do I even bother to show up for band and music listening, one day when I can drive I will just go for physics, leave after that and come back for math,

I want to see how my trumpet section will do without me. We sound awful, but I would feel bad about leaving Neil there all by himself, he is coming along quite nicely. I am very proud of him! The other trumpets, not so much. One day I am going to chuck Johns (I think that is his name) calculator at the wall. For those who don't know a ton of the kids at my school have these expensive $112 graphing calculators (you need them for the math classes, even I have one) and on them you get games. Well this kid just sits there like the entire class, even when the trumpets are playing, playing his damn calculator. I am on the verge of hucking that thing agains the wall. I told him off the other day, the first major rest we got I looked over and pointed at him very threatingly and said, "Play!" he did. As much as I don't want to I will yell at them if I have to, scare the shit out of them. I have no problem if I have to.

Well I must go now, got to call Arwen back and I feel like watching HP 2. Goodbye!

Heads up dumbasses

For all those who have MSN messenger, this might interest you. So I am 99.99% positive you have all recieved the, "On October 1st we will have to pay for our MSN and e-mail use, unless you send this to 18 people on your contact list"

For those idiotic members of the masses, this is what people call a chain letter! I for one do not like getting chain letters, they annoy the hell out of me and I'm sure I'm not the only one! If one more person sends me this or any other chain letters I will personally decaptitate them!

Oh heads up dumbasses, its the 12th of October. You told me this was going to happen in September, didn't happen. You told me it was going to happen in October it didn't. So just fucking stop it!

POSTED AT 07:06 PM

Ok guys, I have been trying to finish up my opening aff. speech for LD (Lincoln Douglas Debate, I am doing it in the upcoming novice (beginners) tournament on Wednesday) and I haven't been very successful, I just get to easily distracted. And I haven't even really started choregraphing my 5-10 min. butoh piece that I need to have before 9:30 tomorrow morning.

Ugh, I have too much to do, damn myself for procrastinating! DAMN MYSELF! Oh well, I have all of tomorrow to do it, Sunday I am hanging with Elena cause we haven't hung out since like August! I MISS ELENA! And we have no classes together! None! It makes me so sad. 

So I am determined to get basically all of my speeches (both aff. and neg. speeches) written tomorrow! I can put the neg. rebuttal speech off until like Monday, the tournament isn't until Wednesday! Well I am off to choregraph a butoh piece! Just thought you guys might want an update on what I have been up to with my life.

POSTED AT 06:17 AM

Ok as far as my Butoh piece goes I basically have the beginning and ending choregraphed out in my head, I just don't really have anything in the middle but that is ok, because whenever Gardner Sensei gives us a piece he pretty much only tells us what we are doing in the beginning and end, what we do in the middle is up to us. That is what I love about Butoh, it is mostly just improve! SCORE!!!!!

POSTED AT 12:51 PM

Ok so if you read the entry below you will learn that I was going to my Butoh class not really knowing what I was going to do for my Butoh Piece, I mean I had some stuff planned up, but not much. Well I got up and did it and it worked wonderfully! I was really proud of it and it became something really fun (in a sick kinda way) to do. It got a lot of stuff out of my system that I needed to get out so I feel great right now! Arwen wants me to do it for the open share that will be sometime in December. And she wants it to be a lot longer, meaning I need to find more music! I have a few songs in mind, but I will try to find more. Thought you guys might want to know! fare thee well!

You see yesterday I had a headache, I felt like I was going to puke, and it also felt like I was going to pass out. So doing everything in my power to make sure I was sick the next day I stayed up until like 11 reading Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince! XD!!! Looking back I probably should have read act 2 of Othello, but oh well!

But don't worry, I still feel like I am going to puke so I am not totally faking it! I'm such a bad girl! Not like I do anything at school today anyways, its my bullshit "B" day. I will be there tomorrow, I need to get my magnet done and glaze my pot for ceramics! Ok bye guys!

Wow, that was pretty funny
POSTED AT 12:48 PM as a favorite post

Ok guys so on Wednesday I went to my first debate tournament! It was a novice (meaning first time debaters) meet so don't worry. Well I was trying out LD (Lincoln Douglas Debate, rooted deeply in philosophy. You argue with philosophy mroe than you do statistics) so I was all pumped because I was so proud of my Aff. case, I was totally pumped, I go to the room where my first debate round was being held (I competed in 3) I was debating the Aff. side, I meet the kid, he was pretty cool and kinda cute (hey for a male debater to be kinda cute is a big deal!) the judge comes in, he is totally cool, I go up there I do my speech, the neg. gets up to Cross Ex me (Cross Ex is a period where the other side asks you questions about your case) and he is like, "How does this coincide with the resolultion of Judicial Activism is neccessary to protect the rights of American Citizens?" This was the resolution for the November/December topic, and I had done my cases based on the September/October topic! So the judge is like, "Wow wait a minute, this could be a problem" So he just decided to mash the two resolutions together (mine being that "In matters of U.S. immigration policy, restrictions on the rights of non-citizens are consistent with democratic ideals" ) So we just went on debating something like, "Judicial activism is neccessary to prevent the rights of non-citizens to protect the rights of citizens" It was something like that. The judge was a varsity debator so he was still in High School. So that debate was just really funny because everything was just going all wrong and we were all laughing about it.

So I thought that my opponent (whose name I never caught) was just misinformed about the debate topic, but I go into my second round debating the negative side and the aff. gets up there and does her case and it is on the November/December topic. I get up there to cross ex. her and tell her that I was told we were debating the September/October topic. The judge (who was another varsity debater, they all were) goes and gets one of the adult judges. I was talking to the other girl and she was like, "Yeah it was changed to the November/December topic" and I'm thinking oh boy I hope your wrong. The judges come back and the adult judge was like, "Yes it was changed so she is just going to give you her neg. case and you will debate that." The only thing running through my mind was, "Oh shit"

I get up their read her speech and I have no idea what I am talking about! I wasn't even sure I knew what judicial activism meant! She gets up to Cross Ex. me and starting asking me what I meant when I said this, well the entire time I was reading her speech I was just trying to make it sound convincing, I asked her if she could tell me where I said it and she was like, "I think it was in Contention 1 but I'm not sure" so I started looking and I was just trying my hardest to fillibuster (stall for time) and it kinda worked! Then she got up to do her speech, and I got up to my negative rebuttal speech and I started going off on one thing she had said that I actually understood. She had said something about how judicial activism is neccessary for society to move forward and the way society moves forward is when somebody speaks out. Then I got up there and started talking about how society could also move backwards, I worked anarchy and even got a quote from Douglas Adams worked in their, it was just so funny because I was rambling about pretty much nothing and only attacking one tiny thing she said. She gets up to do the final speech (the second Aff. rebuttal) and all she said was, "My opponent did not attack my value, criterion, or contentions. She only attacked one thing I said so I should win this round because of that thank you." I was like, "Ok well you could very easily have torn down my case (which is actually your case so you should know how to tear it down) She was just really annoying, in one instance I wanted to use some of my prep time (you get three minutes of prep. that you can use however you want) and I wanted it before my rebuttal speech. Well I pretty much had what I wanted to say worked out in my head so I was like "Can I just get two minutes of prep time?" cause I didn't think I needed a full three minutes and I just wanted to get the debate over with, but she was like, "You have three you know" and I just looked at her and said, "Ok I will use three then." Just the way she said I thought was really rude, she treated me throughout the entire debate like a stupid little dog who didn't know the rules or how the round was supposed to go. She just treated me like I knew nothing about LD and that I was a moron for having the wrong resoltution. It just really pissed me off.

So we had a little dinner break in between round 2 and round 3 so I went and found my debate couch and told him that the resolution was changed and he apologized for telling me it was the September/October. And I was just kinda laughing about it cause I was just thinking, well I'm screwed so whatever. But Doherty (debate couch) was really sorry and he went to talk to the judges about what I should do. I told my friends what had happened and they were all like, "Oh no thats terrible" and Doherty came back and said, "Yeah it was an attachment on the invite and I just didn't read that casue I was so busy so this is my fault and I'm sorry. The judges say you can't just sit out of a round so what is going to happen is you will just go and the girl you will be debating will just give you her aff. or neg. case, is that ok with you?" and I said "sure"

Well I went and the girl was really nice about it and she seemed like a really sweet girl, and the judge was cool with the whole thing. That debate went a lot more smoothly then my second round because this girl's neg case (i was debating neg. again) was a hell of a lot easier to understand.

Well it turned out that I won my first two rounds and last the last one, which really surprised me because I didn't think I would win the second round because I was so bad. But yeah, so after my 3 rounds were over I just chilled with my friends (the tournament had about 4 more hours to go) and I met this cool kid named Nathan who was from Lehi and he was fun to hang out with. My friend Lada had met him at a debate clinic we went to about a month ago, and so she introduced me (I wasn't in the same class as she was when she met him) and he was a cool kid to hang out with. He was pretty much one of the only Lehi kids who wasn't cocky, him and my first judge were not cocky at all. Lehi had brought 60 students to the tournament, 60 no joke Nathan told us that was the number, and from what I hear they were all awful. I never went up against one in my 3 LD rounds but Lada said that they were all really bad at Congress, I mean really bad. And my first judge while we were leaving was like, "If you go up against any Lehi kids, crush 'em because they are all so cocky, but don't tell my debate couch I said that cause I'm from Lehi." Oh man, that judge was so cool, I loved him!

Well at the awards ceremony at the end I took home two awards, one for superior speaking in LD (that is what I was trying to win my rounds on, was my speaking skills because I didn't really understand what I was debating, I kinda did, but not really. I only had one point I understood. But all my judges complimented me on my speaking skills, and the last judge said, "You made me want to listen, and it made me think you acutally knew your case" ) and the second award for having excellent speaking skills and for winning two out of three rounds.

There is another meet coming up next week on Friday where they are doing LD again and I want to come home undefeated from that tournament, because if I can win 2 out of 3 rounds with no case work done and barely even understanding what I am debating, I hope I can win 3 rounds with an actual case! XD! But we will just have to see what happens! Sorry this was so long, but I think it is a pretty funny story so kudos to you if you read the whole thing!

O.O THAT....WAS....AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!
POSTED AT 01:01 PM as a favorite post

O.O HOLY CRAP YOU GUYS I JUST GOT OUT OF MY BUTOH WORKSHOP LIKE AN HOUR AGO AND WE HAD YUKIO THERE!!!!!!!!! GARDNER SENSEI'S SENSEI!!!!!!! A FREAKIN DIRECT DISCIPLE OF TATSUMI HIJIKATA WHO WAS THE FOUNDER OF BUTOH!!!!!!!!!! IT WAS SO FREAKING COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He looked so much younger than I thought he would and he was a lot quiter than I thought he would be. Ok I have to hurry and type all of this down before I forget everything!

First he showed us a different form of Maya and had us squat down and walk across the floor in a squatting position doing the different hand gestures, we didn't do so hott on that, it was kinda  confusing.

Then he showed us a couple of new forms, the first was a broken twig, then your ear became your nose, then 200 birds flew out of your ears, and then an ant was crawling up your body. Sorry if this isn't making sense, I am just trying to type this expierence down before I forget it!

Then we had a little break and when we came back he showed us these different pics. of birds and asked us what we thought of them, the first was a baby bird, the second was a crow, third a rooster,  fourth a peacock, and an owl. Then he showed us the different forms for each bird, the baby bird we were down in a squatting position eyes kinda half closed, crow we were up with our butts way out and flat back, rooster up on or tipy toes, chest forward, fingers curved, peacock (the most painful) we were really really high on our tipy toes (hehe tipy toes) butt way out, hands crossed over each other, upper body curved, neck slender, and looking up, sounds easy, trust me it wasn't. We were all shaking it hurt to walk like that so bad. Then an owl we were just in a squatting posistion again with our fingers on the ground and really wide eyes.

He had us walk across the floor as peacocks then he had me go up by myself and walk across the floor as a peacock so that was kinda cool.

Then he had me, Jordan, and Nella do a little 5 minute improve as birds, I was a peacock and a crow. Then Alexis, Gabe, Nella, and Jeremy got up and did a 5 min. bird piece. Then...oh crap what did we do...*thinks* uh....I think then we moved on to the flower.

He showed us a picture of a flower with a face, it was a painting by some french dude. And he showed us a flower form, so we did the flower form. Then we he showed us a picture of a woman with light coming down onto her forehead and we had to walk like the light on our forehead was pulling us forward. Then we did light behind us, then half shadow half light on our body, and I think that was it. Yeah that was pretty much all we did.

It was pretty funny though because I kept having like everything on the wrong side, when we were practicing the breaking twig form all we had to do was stand there and when he beat the drum snap our head to the side and look down, well we were facing our partners while we were practicing this and I was doing it where my head snapped down to the right, then Jeremy was like "No it is the other way" so I did the other way and he was like, "No head snaps to the left eyes look to the right" so I tried that then Yukio was like "No it is the other way" So I got really confused. I just kept doing like everything to the wrong side and Yukio would have to correct me and at first I wouldn't get it but then after a few times I did. It was just really funny and embarassing.

But all and all it was an absoutly incredible expierence and I will never forget some of the things he said. It was just a truly amazing expierence that it is impossible to write down on paper, but I tried. I can't wait until next week! He will be in class again! One more time! Then he has to go and I will be so sad! But yes, this has been a once in a lifetime oppourtunity and I'm glad I am getting the chance to expierence it.

"We live in our imagination"

"The strong man understands the pain of a weak man"

"The dancer must learn to divide the different nerves systems"

"A butoh dancer is like a sacrifice"

and there were so many more, I'm not quite sure I got all of those things exactly the way he said them (the first two are right), but it is the basic idea. I'm sure Arwen wrote down a ton of things so I'll get some from her.

It was just so amazing...definetly one of the best expierences I have ever had in my life.
