Current Music: "Click Click Boom" by Saliva
I have the "morning-after-a-concert-feeling-and-looking-like-hell" syndrome but I LOVE IT!!! I saw SALIVA! My favorite (American) band! Isn't that GREAT?!?!?! Of course, this morning I look like death warmed over and I feel just about that bad. My neck hurts soooo badly (note to self: do not headbang for two hours and then expect to NOT have a sore neck) and my voice is scratchy from singing "Always" as loud as possible (literally). But that was probably the best concert I've ever been to. Well... I enjoyed the experience the most. I was like eight feet from the stage - close enough to see Josey Scott's eye color! - and I got a guitar pick (thank you, Daniel!) and I GOT TO MEET THEM AFTER THE SHOW!!!!! I am psyched. I can't think of a single other reason why someone would physically feel this bad but be in such a good mood. I feel a little bad that I left Emily (who came with me) at the back of the room but I was going to get as close to stage as I could. I don't blame her for not enduring all the pushing and shoving and screaming and unintentional elbows-in-the-face and high people grabbing other peoples' butts. That actually happened to me. This guy just grabbed my behind. I jerked it away as fast as I could, but I don't even feel bad about that. That's how awesome this concert was. And I SPOKE TO THEM! I GOT THEIR AUTOGRAPHS! I LOVE SALIVA! Whoo! I am in such an excellent mood. I do have one regret... *sigh* Can't really talk about it... but even that one regret doesn't make me totally unhappy. *bounces around* They're a good live band! I was afraid that they wouldn't be. And even the band that opened for them (Mighty Sideshow) weren't half bad. I always feel bad for opening bands because people treat them mean, but these guys seemed nice enough. I would have bought their CD if I hadn't just spent fifty bucks on Saliva T-shirts. *happy sigh* I am in a good mood.

I am hanging on every word you say and even if you don't wanna speak tonight that's alright, alright with me, I want nothing more than to sit outside your door and listen to you breathing, that's where I wanna be... Endless rain, fall on my heart, kokoro no kizu ni, let me forget all of the hate, all of the sadness... Barbara Manatee (manatee, manatee) you are the one for me (one for me, one for me) sent from up above (manatee from heaven) you are the one I love... I'm a bitch, I'm a tease, I'm a goddess on my knees, when you're hurt, when you suffer I'm your angel undercover... When you're out in the club, don't think I'm not, even when you're out makin' love, don't think I'm not, when you're feelin' good and somebody starts gettin' hot, don't stop, just don't think I'm not... Okay, I'm through. Enough! Enough!

Current Music: "Unchained Melody" by the Righteous Brothers
I hate P.E. I really truly do. P.E. is from hell. I have to walk all the way over to the arena just so I can walk MORE and have to talk to Jacque, and I like Jacque okay but I don't think she likes me very much - she tends to talk down to me. I hate P.E. I truly do. I also really wish that people would comment on my message board every so often... I mean, I just want to believe that I'm not the ONLY ONE who ever reads this. Not that I'd stop writing if I was, this is kind of therapy for me. I just... wish I could rant... about this one thing... but I can't. I just can't. I'll rant about it in my private, paper journal. It won't make me feel so much better, but it will help. I am stalling, in case you haven't guessed, because I really don't want to walk to P.E., and I'm wearing uncomfortable pants because I was lazy last night and didn't go do laundry like I had scheduled to do and so the only things left clean are things I hate wearing. Which sucks. But it's my own fault. I'll just have to spend HOURS in the laundry room tonight. And... just a word of advice... don't put a taco in a small refrigerator overnight. It smells horrific.

Current Music: "Leeca" by Gackt
If you are a total moron and couldn't tell by the title, today is my birthday. I am very happy. I get PRESENTS! My great-grandmother gave me tickets to a Saliva concert for my b-day! Well... okay, fine. She didn't give me tickets. But she gave me money, which I am going to use to buy tickets. I don't have anyone to go with... that's why I'm buying two. I figure that I will find someone who will go if I GIVE them a ticket. Right? Anyway, on to other things... I got a DVD from my family. I don't know what DVD it is because I haven't unwrapped it yet. But DVDs have a pretty distinctive shape, doncha think? I also got a Weird Al CD ("Poodle Hat"), a pretty shirt, and a label maker. Don't laugh. Everything in the dorm room will be laminated and labeled within a week. It will be really cool. *imagines Megan lying helpless on the floor with a shiny plastic covering and a label reading "Daphne's Roommate"* Nah, I'd let her go eventually. She's pretty cool. But it'd be funny while it lasted. My sweetie called this morning and sang "Happy Birthday" to me. It was nice. Speaking of my sweetie, Garrith knows who it is. That could potentially be bad. Very bad. But I understand why the people that told him did it, so if you are one of them, I ain't mad atcha. I'm just a little worried. Garrith doesn't do too terribly well with keeping secrets, especially when he doesn't particularly like the secret. BUT! Let's see... I had something else to talk about... OH! I am searching for a good non-babydoll Gackt T-shirt. Do they exist? Doesn't he sell concert T-shirts? If not, that's just not cool. I would also not be unhappy with a T-shirt from X Japan, Malice Mizer, and/or Dir en grey. So if anyone out there knows where to find them and hasn't gotten me a birthday present yet, I like big shirts so get me a Large or X-Large. Preferably not white, but I'm not too picky. Thank you.

Current Music: "Couch Potato" by Weird Al
I'm writing this while I'm waiting on my ramen noodles to be ready. I am very hungry. And I have class in 45 minutes, which makes me unhappy. Megan and I are going to the mall after school today, and I am happy about that since I've only been to this mall once in my whole entire life and they have a buncha stores. I hope I don't spend too much. I'm so hungry. *sniffs the air which is full of the aroma of cooking noodles* Anyway. I told Lauren and Richard last night about my sweetie. They were somewhat surprised. But I wanted them to know. Actually, they didn't say anything for like two minutes. That's not "somewhat surprised", that's shocked. But I knew they would be, that's why I waited so long to tell them. I'm hungry. They took it better than I thought they would, which is very good. Now all I have to do is tell Garrith. HA! Like I'm gonna tell him. He'd spread it around the entire state before I hung up the phone. I mean, I love Garrith to death but he can't keep his mouth shut. So he can't know. Also, he would be mad at me. But oh well. I'm happy. I'm hungry. *wanders off to see if the noodles are ready*

Current Music: "Endless Rain" by X Japan
I'm writing a letter right now, and it's probably the weirdest letter I've ever written. I don't even know if I'm gonna send it. Weird, weird, weird. And I can't even tell you what it's about. It's a secret. But anyway, I have to go to a picnic today with my aunt. It should be fun, but I'd really much rather just lie in bed all day... maybe with a certain person... *slaps self* NO. Must not think about that. Certainly must not TALK about that. Anyway again, I went to a used bookstore yesterday and I bought two books... "Take a Thief" by Mercedes Lackey and "Fire Bringer" by David Clement-Davies. I highly recommend both books. Okay, be picky then, I've never actually read the first one. But her books are consistently good so I am giving her advance praise for this one. I know that the second one is great... I bought it again because I didn't have it in hardcover. It's an EXCELLENT book. I think I'm gonna give my paperback copy to Danielle... she loved the book too and I'm sure she'd appreciate it. *shrug* Even if she doesn't, that's okay I guess. I'd give it to Ashley but I don't think Ashley read Fire Bringer. She might have read "The Sight" by the same author (another EXCELLENT book). But in any case, I know that Danielle loved both books. I realize that I'm rambling, I'm trying to ignore the fact that my computer is being hateful to me by playing one love song after another. Started out with "Endless Rain" by X Japan, and then it went to "November Rain" by Guns 'n Roses (two rain songs in a row!) and now it's on "Austin" by Blake Shelton (who I could have gone to see but I couldn't find anyone who would go!). I am in a very weepy mood, so if that person that I'm currently crazy about calls me, I'm liable to just burst into tears and beg them to come over. Not that they could get here before nightfall even if they left now and drove like a bat out of hell and didn't stop for food or bathroom breaks or anything. *biiiig sigh* I wanna talk to my sweetie...

Current Music: "Illuminati" (live version!!) by Malice Mizer
I ordered the Malice Mizer "Merveilles" live concert DVD. I am very happy. *drools as Gackt pole-dances Mana* Whoo. Entertainment. Also, love is in the air. *happy sigh* I've almost got a significant other. Is very nice. Is VERY nice. And this person's parents like me. So that's good too. *sprinkles Confetti of Happiness* Also, I don't believe that they sing the words that the lyrics say they do on "Illuminati". It just doesn't fit. Oh well. The wonderfullness of the band makes up for it.

Current Music: "Blue (piano solo)" by Gackt
Do you sometimes have those days where the sky is blue, the wind is slightly fragranced and softly blowing your hair, the sun shines with warm kisses upon your face, and it feels like the world was created just for you and you can do anything at all? That's what today feels like. I was walking to class earlier, and walking back to the dorm, and I felt this urge to throw my hands in the air and shout with joy for the stars to come down and stick like glitter in my hair, and for a few seconds it really felt like if I did that, it would happen. Today, I am truly happy!

Current Music: "Daphne Descends" by the Smashing Pumpkins
I don't like this whole college thing... it really bites. My roommates seem nice, but they're not here. I feel kinda pathetic, everyone out there partying and I'm here with my computer, but oh well. Life goes on. I also got lost here. I hate big cities. I was really frightened, because it was almost midnight and here I was in a strange city driving randomly around, so I finally called my aunt and asked her where I was in relation to her house, so I figured out how to get wherever it was I was going. *sigh* I hope it gets better.

Let me stress that I am not listening to this song. I cannot get it out of my head, however. It is awful. Not the song, of course, I love the song. But the fact that I don't know anything except three words of it and they are playing over and over. Well, here's something for you quizzy people...

Current Music: "Hate Every Beautiful Day" by Sugarcult
Boredom... boredom... Guess what? I got to drive a four-wheeler today. It was quite fun. I was just glad that Susan didn't actually see me driving it, because she probably would have laughed at me. As it was, the only witness was Danielle, and she had the niceness not to laugh. Too much. Oh well, it was one of the coolest things that have happened to me in a very long time, and I thought I'd share it. Also I beat Danni at DOA 2. Beat her bad, too. First time I'd ever played it. She probably let me win, but I don't want to know if she did because I am enjoying feeling special. I'm really glad I don't have to go to school tomorrow, although I should really be packing. Packing blows.

Sorry, I know people hate this, which is why I'm going to post it on my website and just link it up here, but I did a little quiz survey type thingamabob that I stole from Nataku's journal, which was sent to her by somebody called Fei, and who knows where this Fei person got it. So I don't take credit for anything but my answers. Not like anyone ever remembers who makes up these things, anyway. Well, click here to go see my answers. Give me ten minutes to make sure it's linked up, though.

Current Music: Nothing
It's almost 3 a.m. and I am still up downloading the fire out of Kazaa. And for you musicians' rights folks out there, I want you to know that I am downloading music to put on a CD for my little sister, and she almost always goes out and buys the real CDs so she can support the artists. If she likes them. If not... well... then it doesn't matter if we have the music or not, does it? Because we won't ever listen to it. Anyway, I'm not supposed to be up this late, especially not with church in the morning, but I am not about to stop these downloads. I've been waiting forever, and they're almost through. But this chair will be the death of me. It squeaks like a mother every time I even THINK about moving. Every time it squeaks, I cringe because I think it woke my parents up, and every time I cringe, it squeaks again, so it's an endless cycle. It'd be easier for me just to go to bed, wouldn't it? But no! Mwahahaha!!! I am a daring rebel soul. I stay up past my bedtime. Whoo. Go me. Also I have this bag of chips here that needs to go back to the kitchen, but if I get up (SQUEEEEEEAK!) and go put it there, I will have to open my door. Which will wake everyone up. I'm also supposed to turn off all the lights, because I'm always the last person to bed. But again, I'd have to open the door. The perfect way to handle all this is to carefully get up, then dress in my PJ's and turn off my overhead light, then turn on my lamp, then proceed to stumble into the hall and into the bathroom like I woke up to go do that, then sleepily decide to go turn off the lights. I dunno how I'd explain the chips if anyone came to see what was going on. Oh well. Maybe I'll just "forget" about the lights and take the chips in the morning. That's prolly what I'll do. You can tell I'm sleepy, because I just spent an entire entry talking about a squeaky chair and a bag of chips. That's kinda sad.

Current Music: "All My Life" by K-Ci and Jojo
Heeheehee my little sister said that. She's so clever. *smile* I love my lil sis. It was kind of a long day.... started out around 10:30 this morning when Kasey came sprinting into my room yelling, "OH MY GOSH! I'M TWO AND A HALF HOURS LATE FOR SCHOOL!" because as it turns out, the thunderstorm last night cut the power off and nobody's alarm went off this morning. So I had to vault from my bed and rush about ironing her clothes and stuff, then I had to take her to school and go in the office with her for moral support as she told her story. Then I came home, after being moderately depressed because I've graduated, and watched "Texas Justice" until my aunt called and asked me if I wanted to go to Chick-Fil-A with her. Being a chickenaholic (not to mention a big supporter of the sad cows in their ad campaign), of course I did. And that was about all that happened today, except that I kinda got mad at Kasey, Joy, Shana, and Danielle because they weren't listening to me while I was trying to help them with band stuff. Oh, and Ashley called me! I haven't called her since she went to MSMS because I'm afraid I'll interrupt her bonding time with her new buddies or the phone will ring during class or something. Unfortunately, I did not have much time to talk because she had the bad timing to call while I was running about frantically trying to get Kasey ready for school. So I hope I didn't offend her or anything. Ash, if you read this (and I'm sure you will, and also my other journal o.o) I just want to say that if I was preoccupied this morning when you called, I'm sorry, and I was SOOOOO glad to hear from you and hear that you were doing great and that your roommate hadn't killed you or anything. That would be excessively bad.

I am helping at band camp still... it is kind of fun, yet sad because I wish I was still a member. College sucks. But anyway, I was helping the pit crew learn the drum solo today, and they're doing really good. The drum solo is very very cool. My little sister has taken my place on the pit crew *wipes away tear of pride*. I miss band so bad. Really, I do. It's pathetic. I even dream about band. I can't imagine life without it. See what I mean? That's pathetic! I guess I could join in college, but it wouldn't be the same, ya know? I have so many memories...

I was helping out at band camp this week, and Mr. Daniels (the guy I was supposed to be helping) said about his classroom, "My room smells like a pooty dungeon." He then proceeded to light several scented candles, sometimes having to step over the bodies of me, my sister, and my friend Danielle, all of whom were lying on the floor flopping about like recently caught perch, trying to gasp in a breath before we passed out from laughter-induced lack of oxygen.

Ah... life is looking up! I had an excellent day today. Just excellent. *throws Confetti of Happiness* Excellent! Splendid! Amazing! Wonderful! Something smells bad in my sister's room! It's probably just the fish tank... tomorrow's cleaning day. Oh well. The most wonderful thing that happened today I can't talk about for fear of jinxing it. But... another good thing happened! I got to talk to my future roommate, Megan, and she seems really nice! She's a little more... how to put it... athletic than I am, but that's okay. And she likes to shop, which is not my favorite thing, but I don't completely hate it so I guess we can get along. I think she'll be a really cool roommate. So I guess I will sign off of this entry, but I just wanted to say that I AM HAPPY!!!!!

*flops backwards into chair* I can breathe again. The surprise party that I have been stressing over for weeks was a total success, despite my spending forever calling Garrith and going, "It's gonna be awful!" until he stopped listening to me. As irritating as he can be, he has been what has kept me sane ever since I started planning this thing. And Ash really seemed to enjoy it! So I count it a success. Everyone gave a little money and it came out to 124 dollars! So she can go buy anime out the wazoo. *wipes forehead* But I'm just glad it all worked out.

I love that commercial. It makes me die laughing every time I see it. You know the one I'm talking about? Where the two men have gotten into a small car accident and they get out of the cars and run up to each other, but instead of arguing they are talking about how they're just glad they're okay, and then they both try to blame it on themselves, and then the black one (no racism here, just differentiating between characters for clarity's sake) says, "If I'm not mistaken, are you gellin'?" And the white one says, "Like a felon!" This commercial makes it difficult for me to breathe, I laugh so hard. I don't really know why. But it is life-threateningly funny. Just thought I'd share that with you.

I was just going about my business today, probably eating some pizza, and all the sudden I thought of a perfect title for this entry. But I cannot remember it for the life of me. *breaks into song* I will dedicate and sacrifice my everything for just a second's worth of how my story's ending... *looks around to see if anyone heard* I am listening to this song but I really want to hear a different one. I could get up and walk into the kitchen and get my CD case and play it, but that would require me to move. I am camped out here, in front of the computer, with three rolls of Bottle Caps and a Celeste Cola that I bought because after I bought seven rolls of Bottle Caps I didn't have enough money to buy a name brand soda. And let me stress that I have not eaten four rolls of this candy... I have only eaten two. Two of the seven were for my sister. But I don't think that the guy at the cash register believed that.

Anyway, I really don't have too much to say except that my lil sister just got a pitas journal... I won't tell you her address because I'm ashamed of her. *grin* No, seriously, I just don't really know her user name! I'm a bad sister. I'm also rambling.
