Life.
We love it
we hate it
we fear it
we covet it
we write poems
and songs
and books
and movies about it;
we laugh
we cry
we scream
we sing
we wonder
and we dream.
The further we reach the
farther
the answer runs ahead
laughing;
for some questions are their own answers like
What is life?
Life is.
What is life.
Life is what?
Life.
Give me more
pass it under the table
make me high
make me laugh
make me sing
make me cry
I want to live
even if it hurts

Oh. My. Goodness.
I know rsd is going to make fun of me for this entry ( ) but I feel compelled to tell you guys what's going on in my life. Anybody remember the entry where I angsted over that one hot bells/pic player?
Progress, my friends. Progress.
Sooo here's what happened.
Today was the band festival, yes? So we took a couple of buses across town to the stadium thing we were playing at. I sat at the back by a group of girls that I knew to be entertaining and talkative, with the
So yeah I leave for my band trip thing tomorra
I'll miss you guys *hug*
but yeah, Merry belated Christmas!x3 I had a blast eating too much, messing with my brother's shiny new Rockoh, Jetrax and Axalara (OMG lufff!) and amusing my uncle with my sarcastic and witty comments, and I hope you had a good time too.^^
I won't be back 'til after New Year's, so ya know, you may want to withold PM's and such. Or mayhaps you won't, in which case I'll be clearing out my inbox with ill grace.x3 T
Yeah. It also happens to sum up my life pretty well.@@
After going to a sweet sixteen, I was promptly banned from going to said birthday girl's house again, as my mom just HAPPENED to arrive to pick me up right as her parents came up the driveway, thereby prompting an interrogation, and a comment that I smelled like smoke, which was odd because nobody smoked at that party.
Actually, I don't mind not going to her house again...it was a weird party.
Yeeeaaah.
Also, LONG DIVISION WITH

The first and last win of the season! WHOOPEE.
Last night, I mean. Our football team actually WON the final game of the season. A game in which the band wasn't rained on as anticipated, and were even spared from wind. The score was 34-14. Excuse me while I do a happy jig. WITH my CYMBALS.
Wheee
And one of the drummers split the head of his snare. It was hard core and awesome and stuff. You could stick your hand into the drum.x3 But no progress with hotbellsguy still, sig
It does. For you see, the bronze Kanohi belonging to Toa Iruini, one of the only two sets I own, had previously been STOLED by my little brother...months ago...and he wouldn't admit it. And I had no idea where to look for it. I raided his room once to no avail. But by some miracle, I FINALLY coaxed him into returning it last night. Turns out he hid it in his old Toa Nuju canister so that he could take it out and look at it.
My preeeecioooouuuuus! It has returrrrrned.
In other notes,
='(
It's just my luck, of course...as soon as I get out of school and actually have TIME to go sledding or somefink, Kansas goes and rains on my parade, quite literally; it got warm and rained and made most of the snow go away.

I'm getting my braces off in two weeks!
...and in other news--because EVERYONE ELSE has an entry on this-- I'm not sure when I'll go see Harry Potter; I know I won't be going to the midnight showing, my parents would never let me.>< Shoot, my mom won't even let me go to the 6:15 pm showing tomorrow. Soooo we shall see. In any case, I am SO PSYCHED for this.<3
Also people, I need ideas for Brickfair art, kthx. Band camp is coming up and I won't have much time to be arting, so
Wow, I haven't updated 'round here for a while. *Dusts blog profile*
So. If you read the title, then you may know what's coming. If you are weird and didn't, then read it, silly goose.
I've been depressed off and on since the end of last year. I've been having mood swings lately and I just can't stand to be around people, but I can't stand the fact that I really don't have any steady friends that I can hang with. I don't think I'm going to be on too much for a while until I can get a hand
IT SNOWED OVERNIGHT.
Today is Christmas Eve.
I'm getting a white Christmas for the first time since...uh...since I got a white Christmas. Which was not recently. Um, yeah.
Not only that, but I finally finished all those Christmas arts and put 'em up on my dA last night.

The power of music. That's all we need, folks. Besides love, though per say, music is an expression of human emotion. Including love. So therefore, music=love.
I was listening to Old Faithful, my Sansa mp3, and this song came on while I was reading this comment.
I almost cried. It was just so moving.;;

And I'd give up forever to touch you
Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home ri
On a lighter note, I drew a raccoon in Photography! The teacher said, and I quote, "If you're done with your test, draw on the back of your answer key!"
So I did.
...What?

...I asked my mom what help she needed making dinner yesterday, and that's what she said. I responded with a deadpan: "You mean corn."
"Yes, that."
So I was sent to the front porch with three ears of corn and an old Hallmark bag for the husks, complaining about the heat. Actually, it was kind of relaxing to sit out front and watch the bumblebees busy in the flowers out front. When I go outside, I get all philosophical. I started thinking about the old days, when people had to shuck their p
He's not that big, but he took waaaaay longer to draw than Kirop did...oh well...click the lovable Av-Matoran to review him.^^
As for my life, well, not too much interesting. I got a random nosebleed on the way back home from the state capital, but that's about it. Not that any of you really wanted to know that I had a nosebleed.xD
Oh, and I SHOULD be doing my English homework right now. But you only live once...

Well, I did it. Finally started a blog! Not that anyone cares, but meh, I could use one. Funny thing is, I'd been plotting to go premier for a while, and I finally sent the money in. Two days later, BZP turned 7, and everybody got premier features.
How incredibly...ironic. And of course I am old-fashioned and mailed my donation, so it hasn't even gotten there yet. IRONIC.
In other news, I have a songfic in the works! It's Taka-oriented, and features one of my favorite songs. Squee. Nearly
So today I started high school.
Why the sad face? Because nothing went right. Nuffink. Well, that's not completely true...band was fun. But I am a band geek.
The BAND=<3. <3 is the BAND.
Mm yes. Other than that though, major bleh-ness. I am afraid of the diabolical torture that is Trig. Also, all the teachers are either boring or insane. And when I say insane, I mean they sing goofy songs, call themselves wizards, or similar. Yeah. I kept running into people, mostly my neigh
Loves it, Raia does.
Here's the story: Tuesday we were assigned an outside reading book. I didn't get the one I wanted, and nobody had that book, so I thought, hey, I'll ask the teach if I can switch. So I did yesterday. She said yes. So after school we called the half-price bookstore to see if they had it. They didn't, so we went to Borders.
Guess what I found at Borders.
INKDEATH!!!!!!

That's karma right there for ya.
Even weirder, the color scheme for Inkdeath's c
So I was taking the ACTPlan the other day. I could almost hear the lady in charge of the test saying, "Thinking is not permitted until I instruct you to do so."
Just another day living the all-American way.
Oh God I'm sooo glad I have today off.;;

Well, at least one good thing seems to be coming out of '09...

In other news, I got a lot accomplished over the weekend...at least, art-wise. I got a jump start on my Halloween art, and I finally inked "Quick Kopaka, to the LEWAMOBILE" in preparation for coloring.
Homework-wise, not so much.>> Oh Mata Nui...I have a typed rough draft for my big essay due Wednesday, and an outside reading
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat
But always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed
I hope you still feel small
When you stand by the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
I hope you never fear those mountains in the
