Warm feelings for a Cold Day

It's officially fall, everybody!

And what a perfect day of weather.

I LOVEE the cold/fall. There's something about curling up under a blanket with a cup of hot cocoa while it's snowing outside.

Today had that feeling, even though there was no curling up. But there was lots of coffee and hot cocoa in everyone's hands, and I even had some new mittens to complete the feel.

It was glorious.

Speaking of glorious,

Go listen to this song:

It's really awesome. I have a thing for Scottish bands.

And the rest of this week is supposed to stay chilly, until Friday, when I don't have class! Yay! (My favorite chica and I are planning on painting outside that day.) Perfect!

Such a good day.

I never thought a Monday could be this nice.

I started it out with a cup of coffee, which probably helped, and from then on it was a just a great day! All of my classes went by pretty quickly and without pain, and by the end of the day I was running on two coffees, warm and fuzzies and just an overall great mood.

So to celebrate the good start to the week,

I'm wishing you all good, warm and fuzzy thoughts.

I love you!

How to Repulse Males and other humans

Do this shiz, and you are guaranteed to have everybody think you are disgusting, gross, etc.

1. Call yourself fat, ugly, etc. in front of guys.-- Really, it's not cool. Keep projecting that you think low of yourself, and soon everyone else will too.

2. Pick your nose. -- Um, do I really have to say this one? Apparently, I do, because today I saw somebody do this. WHY? that's so gross!

3. Get shitfaced all the time and brag about it. -- Okay, I know you think you're all cool cuz you party, and waste your life getting drunk so you can't even remember your weekends, blah blah, but you're not. Talking about how you threw up seven times in three hours? Does not make you sound fun to be around. In fact, it makes you sound boring, because if you can't have fun once in awhile without drugs/alcohol, you must really be lacking personality.

4. Obsess about your appearance. -- Okay, yes, it's good to want to look your best. But don't go overboard and spend every waking moment looking in the mirror and asking everybody "do I look okay?" blah blah "is my hair messed up?" blah blah. because all we hear is "am I pretty? tell me I'm pretty? Love me! Love me! why don't you love me?!"

5. Don't give a shit about your appearance. -- Don't become obsessed, but don't forget about it, either! Remember, other people see you! Just because you don't wanna look pretty for yourself doesn't mean you shouldn't look at least somewhat acceptable for the rest of us! (But it's important to look good for yourself, too. Trust me when I say, it feels GOOD to feel pretty!)

6. Be an attention whore. -- Just don't do it. Nobody likes somebody who acts out just because they want your UNDIVIDED attention ALL the time. It's annoying and makes you seem needy!

7. Talk shit about people when they're not around! -- It's mean and it weakens people's trust in you! If you can talk bad about someone else to them, they never know if you're doing the same thing to them with someone else!

8. Act like you're better than everyone else. -- Really, you're not. I promise. And when you act like you are, it irritates people. A lot. Because they know you're really just a self-righteous, condescending, bitchfaced arsehole.

9. Act like somebody you're not. -- Eventually, people will figure you out, and then they will have no interest in you, because a]. you lied, b]. you're desperate enough for people to like you to act how you think they want you to, and c]. nobody likes a fake bitch.

10. Be easy/a slut. -- Maybe guys will "like" you at first, because they get what they want, but after that, you're all used up and you're of no use to them or anyone else. If you want guys/people to truly like you, let them like YOU, and not just what you have to offer sexually.

Babies and Why They're Scary

Right now, there is a baby in my house.

My parents are babysitting a six-month old baby for my mom's friend, since it's her birthday, my mom thought she would take the baby off her hands so she could go have fun.

And not that he's not adorable and everything,

but babies just are not my thing.

And my mom is just in love with the thing.

She will not let me rest until I promise to give her grandkids.

And you know what? I don't know that I am prepared to promise ANYTHING.

I mean, It's not that I'm not open to the possibility of having kids.

Obviously, I still have a long way to go before my "motherhood thing" is supposed to kick in.

But, I mean, I don't know for sure that I want kids!

Kids are a whole new level of life, and having one completely puts you in a new world, and takes away your entire old life.

I know you can't be young forever, but I can at least try, right?

I don't want to have a second of weakness because of seeing some cute kid in the park, then decide to get pregnant, and end up losing my entire life as a non-mother!!

Like, whoah! Scary! Kids are a HUGE responsibility, we all know that, hopefully!

And I don't even really LIKE kids that much!!

And my mother is putting all this pressure on me to have some just because she is obsessed with little babies!

I mean, HI! I have a brother! He can find some nice lady and make some babies for you too!

Whatever, I guess I have a lot of time to contemplate the idea, because I mean, I'm still in high school. No babies for me any time soon.

Maybe someday I'll find someone I really love, who I want to spend the rest of my life with, and who will love me so much, and I will love him so much, that it makes me want to have a child with him.

But until then,

Thank god for Birth Control.

Dance All Night

MONOLITH.

WAS.

AMAZING.

'nuff said.

Okay, so here's the low down.

Alex and I were like, one of the first people to get there, and we immediately had an awesome time, chatted it up with Mike and "Sydney" while we waited for it to open.

Then, we watched Spindrift, and then went upstairs and watched The Grates (AMAZING! So much energy!) and then afterward got a picture and had a nice little chat with the lead singer, who was a TOTAL sweetie. She was awesome. If you haven't heard of them, check them out, fo sho. They're great. (ha!)

Then came the Monotonix who were really not very good.. the lead singer guy stuck his ass in my face.. gross.

But THEN

THE THERMALS!! They played an AMAZING live show, and then afterwards I got a picture with the drummer, who was a HOTTIE fo sho.

After them, because MSTRKRFT was sick, (which turned out to be a blessing!) was Savoy, an amazing electronic band from BOULDER. (represent.) DEFINITELY look these guys up, especially for any occasion that you wanna DANCE. Their music is so amazing, and infectious, it will FORCE you to get up and move!

And I did.

A LOT.

And so did a certain (male) individual behind me.

Savoy's site: http://myspace.com/savoyband

CHECK out the video on their page. It's only 6 seconds, but I'm flippin IN it! YEAH! I'm that beast in the white shirt (with the sling) and the sick glasses, dancin like a total goober.

Then was PassionPit. THEY are sooo amazing I don't think there is a way their show could have been bad. They had a really great performance, and it was amazing to watch, even though I kept getting thrashed by all the crazy people trying to get to the front.

But the "certain individual" and I ended up dancin together the whole show. it was super fun.

FINAL SHOW:

Phoenix!

They were awesome, even though they were on the main stage, instead of on the awesome intimate one where you could pretty much reach up and touch them if you wanted. but it was cool anyways. (I was still dancing with a "certain individual")

GREAT NIGHT.

I am SO going next year.

School Spirit?

So

last night I got "wrangled" into going to our school football game, with Alex.

It was pretty fun. Of course, that's not because of the actual football. I'm pretty sure I might

have looked at the field... like twice the whole time.

But hey, I cheered a few times, too okay? And it was a blackout so I WORE black, okay? I'm not completely void of school spirit. I just don't happen to give a damn about football.

Speaking of school spirit though, I am SO excited about my theater three class doing a tableau at our school's homecoming pep rally. (With the ensemble kids! YES!)

last year the theme was welcome to the jungle, and they all dressed up in these crazy animal or forest/cave-people-whatever things. it was really cool.

THIS year,

it's Mardi Gras.

HELL to the YEAH.

So anyways, back to last night.

Spencer, My best friend's newest boyyyy is ADORABLE. they are SO cute together, it's just

ridiculous.

So I'll tell you a short story.

At the end of the night, when Spencer and his friends were leaving, they had to jaywalk across a busy trafficky street to get to his parent's car.

So right as he was almost to the car, he RAN back to Alex, just to make sure he kissed her goodnight.

And then ran back across the street.

HOW cute is that!?

I'll tell you, it's very cute.

anywayy it was a fun night. Lots of ridiculousness and picture taking. :)
