Rock Band

I really love Rock Band. Just saying.

I was over at my friends tonight (I am over there 24/7 - today when I showered I realized I smelled like them!) My parents were there too, and we were all singing and playing and etc. and it was soooo much fun! My friend and I have a sort of band going (not really a band - more of a duo), called Dark Sarcasm, and we are recording our first song. I do drums, tuning (a side effect of synesthesia? perfect pitch by the color), and piano sometimes while she does guitar (and she rocks at it!), piano the rest of the time, harmonica,  and we both do vocals. It's a cover of a not-as-well-known song, but it's a great one. (Yeah, like I'm going to tell you what it is! When we're YouFamous, just you FIND OUT!) Today we tried to work on it, but it didn't work out so well. We watched Merlin instead, and I am now hopelessly in love with Arthur, despite his gross mahagony-and-goldenrod name. I am renaming him in my mind...



He still can't compete with this guy from White Collar, though... I love him! LOVE him!



It's scarily warm out, probably a town record. 44 degrees in the middle of February. And it's rainy, and foggy, and beautiful and islandy, and it's NOT SNOWING!!! Alleluia rejoice!!! This is my favorite type of weather, rain and fog. Now the ground just needs to be clear and I'm happy.

Happy Foggy day!

One-day week

This is certainly the first one-day school week of my school career. Maybe even the first on the island. Who knows, but it rocks!

It's really pretty, with ice over everything, and more clearly on the way from the color of the clouds. I love the color of the clouds. It reminds me of summer. Like, when you're at the beach, and it's sooo hot, and there's a million tourists there too, and suddenly you notice there's a huge thunderhead above you. In five minutes, it's blacker than night, and the stupid tourists are screaming like they're being dissected, and running like they just saw the loch ness monster in the dark gray water and you're just laughing uncontrollably, so glad you're an islander. You look at your friends and yell all at once "I'm staying!"  You convince yourself nothing of or pertaining to lightning will happen, which is probably true anyway. Then you all start riding the huge waves, and only when lightning actually strikes within your eyesight do you all scramble out of the water, screaming and laughing hysterically, and getting sand all over your sun-tanned bodies.

Sorry. I think I'm suffering from beach withdrawal. For some odd reason, my parents have forbidden me go to the beach in an ice storm. Hmm. Scratches head... ;)

Anyway, I have found a new obsession - Paramore. I heard "That's What You Get" on Rock band, and checked it out, and now I'm hooked. Haley Williams is my IDOL. If someone offered me her voice in exchange for jumping off a bridge, I'm afraid I would totally take it. I hate my voice. It's a nasty, flat, blue/purple/maroon/pink, depending on the time, my mood etc., and it has a ring that gives it yellow edges and I HATE it. Haley's is a softish yellow/apricot pink. I love the male voices too, they complement hers nicely. Dark blue and green go really well with her particular shade of yellow. It really is so sad that none of you can ever see that! I will try to scan some of my paintings to put up here, but it still can't really compare. Just imagine it.

Good night!

Lion King

I just got back from seeing The Lion King. It was AAAAMMMMMMAAAAAZZZZZIIIINGGGG. That good. The costumes were beautiful! There were these giraffes, and zebras I actually thought were real, and my favorite - these people in grass hoop skirts with grass plateaus on their heads. You could see the people inside clearly, but not in a sloppy way, you somehow still believed there was the animal there too. It was sooooo cool, especially since I went with my girl cousins. The five of us look a lot the same, now that we're older, and I guess we think similarly too, since we wore the same color scheme in almost the same outfits - black ruffles, with jean accents and black/grey boots, and silver/blue long, bead necklaces (same style), and long faux shear coats. It was truly, just a little strange. We met at a pizza place, and we were about to start hugging, and we just stopped and looked at each other. We all looked really good though, I guess great minds think alike! People just stopped and stared, it was freaky. However, I think it was my eyes they were staring at. City people are merciless about that stuff. Funny-  I can do this thing where I make them really wide for a second, then close them, and I did it to this random sketchy guy on this street corner and he flinched. It was hysterical. Like, he jumped backwards and hit his head on the wall. Ha! Instant karma's gonna get you, sketchy guys!!!! (yeah... i'm going to go to sleep now... ;)

I loved all the beautiful colors in the play. It was just gorgeous. Brilliant reds, sunrisey oranges, rich, deep yellows, earthy browns, whites that didn't seem white at all. It was exquisite, it reminded me of my colors, they were some of the exact same shades I see, how cool is that! My cousin leaned over and said "look at all the colors!" and I was just thinking "welcome to my world"! I would totally see it again.

Happy Friday!

Seriously, more snow?

Yeah. I'm not even going to elaborate.

I believe in karma, as of two minutes ago. My family just walked out of the house, leaving me to start my impromtu snow day. My far-away off-island school is not canceled, but the roads here are so bad that they are keeping me home.

My lovely teacher gave us six, I kid you not six, hours of homework last night. And I worked so hard I got four hours of sleep. And I still didn't finish. And now, I get a snow day to finish while all my off-island classmates get to suffer. *gives evil laugh, then covers mouth

Anyway, good karma to you all!
