I just got back from helping Kelli move. I can sure pack a lot in my little truck, its quite handy. There was plenty of traffic on the way to her old apartment, but it was nice to have time to catch up with her. At the end of the night I didn't accept her gas money because I told her I was just doing a friend a favor, no payment is necessary. She gave me a hug and told me I'll get a surprise tomorrow night. I wonder what it will be?! Coffee?? Mmm....I'm going to go have dinner with my Mom now. Oh and also, I found a pretty sweet looking place right next to Kelli's old apartment building. I'll give them a call tomorrow morning. I hope everyone had a good first day at college, I want to hear about it! I can't wait for next week. Goodnight.

Not much has been happening lately. Or nothing I'd rather open up to. I got my books today though. I just need a backpack now. For some reason, I'm really picky when it comes to backpacks. I'm really excited for school, just 3 more days. I pretty much did all I could do with the job scene. I must've turned in over a dozen applications, and in the next few days, I'm going to go back to each one and check back in and see whats going on. Just gotta wait now. I really have nothing to write about. So yea...hm, um cool cool. Maybe Steven can come here this weekend?? Hmm? Maybe? Yea, that'd be cool. Huh, yea. So. I really want to get out of my house, that'd be nice. Yuppers. So, you know what? I think, I think I'll just go ahead and leave. I'll just write later. When, I have things to write about. Goodnight.

Bored bored bored.... [17 Sep 2004|01:57am]
[ mood | bored ]
[ music | Dashboard Confessional - Remember to Breathe ]

I just tried to say "bored" as many times as I could, and I got to 98. And then I got hungry. But I am freaking bored, and wide awake. I just tried to drink a lot of milk, and now my stomach feels like its going to explode, but my bones are extra strong now! Then I did the dishes. And then I spun around as fast as I could and layed in the middle of the living room, and watched the ceiling spin around. And then that didn't help the whole milk situation and now my stomach hurts, but its going away. And theeeeeeen I walked around my room, with my finger on the wall, and tried to do as many laps around my room without letting my finger off the wall. I did that about 9 times, and got bored. So, I tried to see how far my cat could fly forward, without making a weird noise. That dang cat goes far! I took a shower, and I stood in there for awhile and read all the backs of the products, and then I took forever to dry, cause I made sure I got everywhere and I was perfectly dry. Then I made my bed, and I got clothes on. I flipped thru every channel, nothing was on. Tried to stand on my head for as long as I could, but my head started to hurt, and the milk felt like it was flooding up my esophagususus, so I stopped. Then I went into my mom's room, and layed there next to her and closed my eyes, and tried to imagine what she was dreaming about. Then I kind of thought that was a freaky thing to do, so I left. I wanted to play my guitar, but my brother and his girlfriend are in the garage, and my mom is asleep, so I couldn't do that. I tried to go for a walk, but my shoes were to much work to actually put on, and the ground is wet and cold, so I bagged that idea. Now, I have to find more things to do.....bye!

[ music | Coldplay - Everything's Not Lost ]

Tomorrow is the fair. I’m worried though, I hope it won’t rain on us. I got a haircut. I’m eating a peanut butter sandwich.

I got to play poker, Sopheak spotted me the $5. I held my ground, for some reason, I was driven to win that money. I was playing more serious than I have any other buy-in. And when I finally lost, I was not only disappointed in myself, but I felt like I disappointed someone else. I could have used that $20 to make it easier on the whole fair deal. But I’m over it now. Not much has been going on. I went to bed at 7 in the morning today, and woke up about 3. We were at Dave’s house. Sometimes when I’m there, I think, why do we do the things we do, and say the things we say to him? And then, it hits me. He completely sets himself up for everything. He lacks in care and doesn’t listen and just makes everything harder for himself. I feel bad for him because he doesn’t see himself as the bad guy, but maybe one day, it’ll hit him. I’m not sure, but something made me write that. Just a feeling I had, and I figured I should write it out. I’m excited for tomorrow, and for Saturday. I look very much forward to hanging out with my friends, and I hope I meet their needs, and they like me. But, I’m done. I guess until next time. Goodnight.

[ music | Ben Lee - Ketchum ]

I got a job lined up. Finally! Thanks to Maurice. I get to actually work right across the street from my house. I can walk to work everyday. Its at the elementary school. I get $10/hour, and I get to work with little kids. All I have to do is fill out an application, and I'm hired. How good is that? And also, I turned in my application at Round Table Pizza today, and I went to South Seattle, but it was too busy, so the lady told me to come back tomorrow. So, I get to wake up early again, hopefully this time to get my actual classes. Tomorrow, I get to also go pick up Steven, and we are having a buy-in poker night at my house; $5 to get in. I can't spend any of my fair money, so I'm going to choose to sit this one out. Oh well. And Liz called me today, to tell me that her parents are going to be gone Friday night, and she wants to hook something up. So, I'll call around and see if anyone wants to go to her house and play some halo, that should be fun. And I might get to meet some friends this weekend. That'll be fun, we might play pool, guitar, halo, and cards. I'm not sure if that'll actually go through, but it would be nice if it did. I think I'll also try to go to bed before 4 tonight. I just don't see the point in sleeping, I rather sleep during the day, I do nothing. I do everything at night, so why not stay up that late. Too bad nobody else does, so I'd have some company, but I guess the nights not too bad by yourself. Its quiet and lonely, so I can do whatever I want. But I'm not too tired right now, I've been playing my guitar since I got home at 2, and I still am playing, I've made 3 new songs up today, and I learned about 6 new ones. I have no life, thats for sure. Anyways, I went out and tried to hang out with my brother, but he had company, Sopheak and Katie. And they were plenty drunk. I was feeling lonely, so I sat and hung out. They were listening to Boyz 2 Men, and my brother was all over Katie, and Sopheak was talking about all this weird stuff, but he wasn't that drunk. Sopheak kept telling me to loosen up every 5 seconds. I dunno, I am kind of tight, but I can't help it. I'm always afraid of something. I have a problem, that I think I'm always going to end up dissapointing someone. They kept trying to get me to drink, and I said no about a million times, then they kept at it, and I pretended to take a sip of some Rum stuff, and they were enough wasted to not realize I really didn't drink it. And they cheered and said "How was it?" I just kinda smiled, looked down and said "Yum...." After that, I just left. I guess I'd rather be alone. Then Sopheak came into my room, and he wasn't drunk anymore, and we started talking about bands, and he's giving me his Dashboard Confessional poster, and it was a nice conversation. Then about 20 minutes later, he came back in, and invited me to the fair with them tomorrow, and he said, "I thought I should ask, because you are cool." I said "Thanks." and he then said, "No, seriously you're cool." Last night, I stayed up to watch the sun rise. It was nice, my spot gets better everytime I go, to bad I only go by myself. The way the sun rises, and peaks over the trees, and then all of a sudden it hits the water, and the sun rushes in to see you. It's beautiful and relaxing. I should try to sleep, Goodnight.

I'm sorry Steven.

Yea, I'm bored. Steven shouldn't have gone home. I only have fun when he's in Tukwila, and now he's not. So I'm of course pretty dang bored. Damn you Steven for leaving. But anyways. I actually filled out my first application in awhile today. It was a big waste of time, but I needed to do it. Round Table Pizza, I might be a delivery boy. Thanks Amanda and Steven again for picking that up and thinking of me. Halo was fun last night. At first, there was a lot of people, and I played one round, and decided it was a waste of time. I would spawn and die, spawn and die. No fun. So then I went outside and played on the trampoline with Amanda and Nick. We snowboarded, and skateboarded, and stuff. And then we did volleyball techniques. Then me and Nick, decided to see how many sex positions you could do on a hammock. Those things look like it would be an adventure for some sex. There was two hammocks by the way....so we weren't on the same one. Just to clear that up. But then Steven and Matt set up a 2v2 tournament. The first round, me and Dave won. Then they set up another one. And I lost, but no biggy. Me and Amanda then went out and jumped on the trampoline some more, played break the egg, that was probably the funnest thing about last night. Thanks again Amanda! But, then after that, we all just went home. And then today, I was sad cause Steven left, so I chilled in my room and learned about 50 million new songs on my guitar, cause thats all there is to do around here. I've finally got down every Taking Back Sunday song, on the new CD. And some other old school songs. No big deal. But I am part of a band now! Nick's band. Kick butt! I am excited to finally get to jam with actual people. It's been so long. But great news, I get to wake up early tomorrow and go down to South Seattle Community College, and finally meet with a counsler and set up classes. I am finally going to get real classes! Cool! And my mom came in and looked at my hair and said I needed a hair cut. It's way too long. And she said she might just pay for it, so good news today. Oh, Amanda, good luck tomorrow at your first game! YOU WILL W-I-N!! Tell me how it goes, and I can't wait to actually get to see you play on Wednesday! I'll write about my classes, that I'll hopefully be getting tomorrow. Goodnight!

Quiet little fingers, type softly! [10 Sep 2004|03:51am]
[ mood | excited ]
[ music | Billie Holiday - Good Morning Heartache ]

My mom had company today. There must have been 12 of her friends over here at once. They were playing loud games. My mom is a good host. She sits there and looks around and smiles and laughs at everyone’s jokes. She is such a tiny little lady, but she captivates everyone, and when she talks, everyone is quiet and listens. It’s really cool to watch. She had lots of food too. I went out a few times to eat everything, and all the ladies kept asking me questions. Then, my Mom started telling everyone about me singing and playing my guitar, I didn’t know my mom was home earlier, so I wanted to play, and I wrote a new song, and I started playing and singing and she came in and started making a big scene, “That sounded so wonderful!” And all these things, it was very flattering, but kind of a shocker. Nobody really heard me do anything, so it was a surprise I was actually decent to someone. So, one of the times I was out there, I was trying to stay back, and my Mom came in, and started telling everyone about me and my voice and guitar playing, so she made me sit out there and do a song for them. It was fun, but embarrassing; they all clapped and said it sounded wonderful, and beautiful. I did get a little chocked up because I sung a song I wrote awhile back that held a lot of meaning to me. But this lady came up to me before they were about to leave, and gave me some guy’s number, who is looking for band mates, and is about to record an album. He also runs a studio, so I can just go in by myself and record a little EP. I might think about it. I can't type anymore, I'm afraid of waking Steven, he's asleep on my floor. I'm not tired, but I am going to lay in bed, and stare at my ceiling for awhile. Goodnight.

P.S. I really want to talk to you. You have no idea, but you always leave in such a rush. Just give me the time of day and I'll give you it all....

[ music | The Smiths - There is a Light That Never Goes Out ]

I wasn't going to write in this anymore, I didn't think anyone really cared or even read these things. But I am addicted to writing, so I guess I'll write to myself, but I just got out of the shower. As, I was drying off, I heard this loud whisper. I was, of course, curious. So, standing there, naked, and wet, I leaned up against my brothers bathroom door. I thought, "Hey! He's getting busy in this house with my Mom in the other room." I was gonna yell at him, but he wasn't. He was cussing up a storm, and yelling at his "girlfriend." I don't know why, but it made me sad. I went back in my bedroom, and turned on my The Smiths album. It's really good, I think they are my favorite band, besides Dashboard Confessional. I started thinking about all kinds of things. How some people get girls, and some don't. And why do a lot of the people who get girls, not treat them right. I've made a lot of mistakes, and I regret a lot. But all I can do now is do good hopefully. My next girlfriend, if I ever get another, will be cherised. I won't lose her for dumb reasons, I won't yell at her, I won't bring her down, I won't put a frown on her face, or a tear in her eye. I won't let myself. Of course, I can't stop the inevitable. She will get hurt, but I can make sure it won't happen much, and I can make sure it won't hurt badly. I want to give her my world, let her into my heart, and give her everything I got. I just have to find her, and I hope she'll let me in, and give me her heart. I think I've finally found what I want, and thats it. I just want a girlfriend, and I just want to be loved. Oh, and I also want a job. But that's kind of off the topic. Oh well. Good news, Steven is coming for sure this weekend. Friday night, poker night. I have to win, I need to get more money, so me and Amanda can ride lots of rides, and eat elephant ears, and maybe even take pictures. I hope we'll have fun. And Saturday night, is halo night. Me and Steven were thinking about doing maybe a 2 vs. 12. Us two, against the rest. I think we can do it. I really don't want to go to bed. I hate laying there, in the dark, doing nothing. I'm glad everyone seems to be enjoying school. That's all I guess. Goodnight.

[ music | The Beach Boys - Warmth of the Sun ]

Well, another late night. Not really too much to say I guess. Just bored again. I wanted to say Happy Birthday to Adrian, I'm not sure when it is, sorry, but I hope you are having lots of fun where you are, and I can't wait for you to come back and let's hang out a lot more, maybe play more tennis! And while the happy time is out, I want to wish another Happy Anniversary to my good friends Steven and Amanda, and good luck on the 13th for your first game Amanda, you'll do great! But yea, I was talking to Angela, who by the way is super cool, and I mentioned my favorite spot, so it made me want to go there. So I went, after I went and visted Amy, who I annoyed so much because I was just bored, I'm sorry, and I drove there instead, it was rather cold tonight, so I stayed in the car and just stared out and listened to some of my new CD's. It was relaxing. I thought about a lot of things. I wish I could have a girlfriend to take there. We could sit and stare at the stars and listen to music and cuddle. That sounds like a happy place. I got kind of sleepy, so I came back home. But I wish I hadn't. It's better there, than it is in my room. Anyways, I finally talked to Grace today, it was....I don't know. I'm worried our friendship is nothing now. I don't want that too happen. She's a really good friend to me. But I talked to Nick. That was a nice surprise. I wonder what made him IM me. It was cool to talk to him. And he's coming to Halo night. So thats a plus. And it was really good to talk to Angela, she was nice to me. I hope I get to talk to her again. And I hope I made a good impression, I shouldn't worry about those kinds of things, but I do. Natalie, she read "The Perks of Being a Wallflower." How cool is that? Tomorrow night, I hope I get to bed early. I want to be asleep by 12, that seems so early to me. This whole summer, I've either gone to bed at 10 p.m. and woke up at 4:30 a.m. for work, or went to bed at 4 in the morning and woke up at either 10 or 3 in the afternoon. I have gotten the worst sleeping habits now. But tomorrow, I'm waking up early to go downtown. And then I am going to call these two warehouse places that are hiring. One for $14.50/hour, and the other is $17.00/hour. That's some nice money. And good luck to everyone at school! But I think I should go to bed, I want to feel good tomorrow morning. Goodnight.

[ music | Micheal Andrews - Carpathian Rage ]

Wow....I'm extremely bored. Nobody is online. I have done nothing productive today. All I did was about 2 hours of yard work, and that was all. I feel like typing, so I decided I'll go ahead and type away. Let's see, today. Yard work, blah blah blah. Then I changed into my pj bottoms, and sat in my room. I stared at the computer for awhile, thinking what should I do now. Nothing really came to my head. So I re-read "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" About 1 1/2 later, got done with it. Sat back at my computer and stared. Then I looked over at my stacks of CD's, and decided to listen to them all. After about 3 CD's, and 2 hours later. I got bored of that idea, so I started obsessively listening to my Collateral soundtrack, and Donnie Darko soundtrack. Then, I went into the living room to find my cat. No luck. So I went outside and looked around the yard. My neighbor yelled at me to get a shirt on, and I went over to her, and started talking to her about her day, and then she told me, and I said "Ok, I must find my cat now, have a good day." And I started to look for it some more. After about 15 minutes, I finally found it in some bushes. I picked her up, and brought her to my room. I sat there and played with her for a long time. Cat's are really cool. They are amazing. And so much fun. Then, I think she got tired, and she got grumpy, and I tried to cheer her up, but I think she wanted to sleep. So I took her back out to her spot in the bushes, and she stood there for a few seconds, looked up at me, meowed, and layed down and slept. I sat there staring, and thought, "Now what...." Still with only half my body dressed, no shirt, and no shoes or socks, I decided to go for a walk. I walked up the street and to the school. I stood at the corner, and I got some weird glances. I decided it would be a smart idea to go home now. I started walking back and I ran into an old friend. Rene, the mexican. So I talked to him for awhile. And then I said, "I'm getting a bit cold, you should call me sometime, but I'm going now, I have to get a shirt on." We said our goodbyes, and I finally got home. My mom was asleep, I went into my room. I heard her yelling. She wanted lunch. I made her a sandwich. See my mom had surgery on her hand. She's doing very good now, but the doctor said take it easy. So, I get to help her as much as I can. Then I put on a shirt. And I played my guitar for a little bit. I made a new song. The lyrics are weird, but meaningful, I suppose. I am bummed that I missed Ben Kweller today, and I'm bummed that I'm going to miss The Killers tomorrow. Though, I still am excited for the Puyallup Fair, Amanda brought good news to me today. Maroon 5 will be playing on the 22nd at the Fair. We hope to see them. Anyways, after all that, I got to talk to Steven, he's always cool to talk with, we talked about halo this weekend. And Liz, she's nice, we talked about her out-of-town thing last weekend. And Amanda, she's awesome, we talked about the Puyallup and a little bit of volleyball. And Amy, who argued with me over nothing, but it was still nice to hear from her. I tried to call Grace, but no luck. I'll try again tomorrow. Also, I wanted to write a poem really bad, but I'm not depressed. I have nothing on my mind, worth writing about. I was thinking about writing about this girl, but I think I creeped her out already, and I would post it, so that would probably creep her out even more. I think she knows who she is. Sorry :/ I want to keep typing, but I'm probably boring everyone. It's late, and I have to get up early tomorrow, but I'm not tired. I just wish someone would call, or get on AIM, so I can have company. I'm going to go write that poem now, while I listen to my Donnie Darko soundtrack. I hope everyone has a goodnight. That's all for now. Bye.

I'm getting more and more excited for school, as the time comes closer. But, yesterday I got the Collateral Soundtrack! It's pretty cool, my favorite song is on it, so I'm listening to it over and over. Thanks again Steven for it. Today, I pretty much did a lot of yard work. I'm trying to earn as much money as I can for the Puyallup Fair, so me and Amanda can hopefully have fun and go on lots of rides. I would really like to apply for FASFA, but I have to wait to move out to do that. Right now, I'm just downloading the Donnie Darko soundtrack. I'm really bored, and I miss Amy. I tried calling, but nobody picked up. She's probably just sitting in her PJ's in her mom's room watching tv. Lazy, lazy girl. On Tuesday, I have to go back to the Orthodontist, while I'm down there, I'm going to get a lot of applications, and just fill them out on Tuesday, and go return them all on Wednesday. I have to do this. I've been way to lazy, I have to get a job before school starts. Bye.
