It's hard to face the holidays without...

Hey people! Nothing much to report on, as of late... just got over what felt like food poisoning this week...bleh.

On Monday, my class and I went on a field trip to "the cape" that was a lot of fun. The lift-off was amazing- something I had never experienced before. I'm still in love with my classmates, and my teachers are some of the best people that I have ever met in my short existence thus far.

It's definitely starting to smell like fall where I am. The most gorgeous time of the year. Feels more like a rebirthing to me than spring does. Spring is just one giant allergy. Fall is almost magical.

First thing on my list of to-dos for this break: learn to play The Academy is...'s "Winter Passing" half-way decently.

Second on my list: Polish up the 3 original songs that I've been neglecting for the past few months.

I posted a few new poems- they were just gathering dust in my notebook, so I thought I'd pull 'em out. Thanks to those who read them.

Quotes:

"We're sick of hearing people say 'That band is so gay' or 'Those guys are fags'. Gay is not a synonym for shitty. If you want to say something's shitty, say it's shitty."
-Pete Wentz

"Nothing is worth hurting yourself over! Nothing is worth killing yourself over! Do you understand?!"
-Gerard Way

"We buried the word and it should have been buried. For all the pain that has happened over the years, it needs to go away."
-Stevie Wonder's take on the 'N-word'

"Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect."
-Mark Twain

"I have three dads: my biological father, God and Bob Dylan."
-Jack White

"If you don't have a brain, then how can you talk?"

"I dunno. But people without brains seem to do an awful lot of talking, don'tcha think?"
-Scarecrow, Wizard of Oz

"We never really cared about all the things that other people cared about, you know? Like, people recognizing me on the street never interested me. I've always been kind of suspicious of the world, anyway, so it's pretty easy for me to live in my own little world."
-Meg White

"I am neither especially clever nor especially gifted. I am only very, very curious."
-Albert Einstein

"People say 13 is an unlucky number. Then so should the letter B. Looks like a 13 all squished together...
Whats your name?
Bob.
Get the hell outta here."
-Mitchell Hedberg

"It's funny, but I'll never get over the outside world and naysayers of the like constantly criticizing what me and my friends are capable of in the creative sense, aside from just our abilities to 'do it to it' as they say. It's also hard for me to really say what I mean without letting 55 half starved to death cats out of the bag, but ya know, who gives a shit? Either way, I just love the sense of entitlement the internet gives to people. Just by giving them the ability to spout 'facts' about everything they 'know so well' is endearing at times. Love it. Keep up the 'good' work."
-Joe Trohman [link]

"I was sitting in front of my computer reading when all of a sudden the map I had up on my internet webpage jumped to show a nice little check mark next to his [Barack Obama's] name. I ran downstairs to tell my father to see that he had already fallen asleep in front of the TV watching a Hallmark movie. *sigh*"

"Do not be deceived by the way men of bad faith misuse words and names ...Things are set up as contraries that are not even in the same category. Listen to me: the opposite of radical is superficial, the opposite of liberal is stingy; the opposite of conservative is destructive. Thus I will describe myself as a radical conservative liberal; but certain of the tainted red fish will swear that there can be no such fish as that. Beware of those who use words to mean their opposites. At the same time have pity on them, for usually this trick is their only stock in trade."
-R. A. Lafferty

"A good compromise, a good piece of legislation, is like a good sentence; or a good piece of music. Everybody can recognize it. They say, ‘Huh. It works. It makes sense.’"
-Barack Obama

"My parents shared not only an improbable love, they shared an abiding faith in the possibilities of this nation. They would give me an African name, Barack, or blessed, believing that in a tolerant America your name is no barrier to success. They imagined me going to the best schools in the land, even though they weren't rich, because in a generous America you don't have to be rich to achieve your potential."
-Barack Obama

"I get really annoyed with photo shoots and interviews and handshakes. I’m a musician; God forbid I actually have time to make music."
-Patrick Stump

"People who have good morals inspire me. They make me feel like I should improve myself constantly. That way I'm constantly growing."
-Courtney Beckett

"Love. It's the most HORRIBLE and the greatest thing there is in life, and it's definitely God's way of punishing and rewarding us."
-Farrah Harper

"Why is it that, as a culture, we are more comfortable seeing two men holding guns than holding hands?"
-Ernest Gain

"Never dream of forcing men into the ways of God. Think yourself, and let think. Use no constraint in matters of religion. Even those who are farthest out of the way never compel to come in by any other means than reason, truth, and love."

-John Wesley

"You can't give up hope just because it's hopeless. You gotta hope even more, and cover your ears and go 'bla bla bla bla bla...'"
