HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!

I still wish that I went trick-or-treating....but....I have no one to go with....my stupid friends.........just kidding :D

Tonight I get to help my grandparents hand out candy in their neighborhood....by helping it means being the only one to bother  answering the door when the bell rings....I don't know if any other family members will be there....who knows??!!

I'm in a pretty good mood if anyone can tell....today was a quiet day..no tragedies to speak of, which is a hell of a lot better than last week.....

anyway..I must go and prepare for all of the handing out of candy I'll be doing tonight.........

Mood: .......eh....
Listening to: 'Remedy'- Seether

I'm glad that school wasn't in session today...the atmosphere is really bugging me, especially in my Reading Non-Fiction class, it's downright depressing....plus we're finishing up reading Tuesdays with Morrie, and it's just sorta ironic that we're doing a book about a dying man, and this whole thing is going on...luckily it's almost over...we just have to watch the movie, I've seen it once before and it's really sad....ugh....just let it be over with quick!!

Tonight is the wake...I'm not going because I didn't really know him that well...actually not at all, he's just been in classes, etc...plus I don't do too well at those things...the last one was for my aunt, and that was extremely hard...I don't like seeing people crying, especially my own family members......she died a few days after Christmas last year...(January 3rd)..I'll never forget, I'll always remember that it was a Monday,we were watching the season premiere of that show, Medium.....it was a little after 10PM, and my grandfather called from the hospital..(my mom actually just got out of there....long story.....something to do with her heart and medication that she was taking....), and the rest of the week was a complete whirl....wake was on Wednesday, and the burial was on Thursday....I think that the family is still in shock, and I know that this holiday season will be awful....I'm not looking foward to it....wow....why am I on this subject??

Anyway....thats what's happening...hopefully next school week won't be as bad...

Listening to: Undone (The Sweater Song)-Weezer

Well....today in school I found out that he died last night...(kid in the car wreck)...it's really a blow to the school....I mean.. to lose two kids within the week??!! It's tough....

Anyway...that's just an update on that....today was a pretty quiet day...went to lessons, we didn't even do anything, the teacher was basically doing other stuff....i had to lose a whole study hall period~!!!...ok.. so that wasn't too terrible.....

Now I have a nice three day weekend to look foward to...I plan on doing nothing.....

Mood: ..........
Listening to: the loverly radio

Well...we couldn't live one whole night without a T.V.....so we went to Best Buy to get a new one....a nice 32"...

It's amazing how we can't live without that beautiful magic box....really sad....but I'm as obsessed with it as everyone else is....I know I'm part of the problem....I don't knew if America is the only country that is fixated with our televisions....our lives revolve around it....we plan our days around our favorite television programs....oh well....why change a good thing???

YAY TELEVISION!!!!

Mood: tired.....
Listening to: radio.....

I guess the other kid is now brain dead...that's the update I heard at school....things are starting to come back to normal, but the class I had with him is still kind of weird, a lot of them were friends with him and haven't come back, so there's a lot of empty chairs...

This hasn't happened in a long time...I can't even remember when...but nothing where someone was actually killed or brain dead or anything like that...it's sad to think that they only had a year or less left until they graduate and now that doesn't even matter....o.k.....I'm done talking about this...

Today I was going to hand in my application, but I forgot to sign up for an appointment with my counselor....so, I'll be doing that tomorrow...hopefully (it needs to be postmarked by 10/31...so I need to get it in.....

One more thing....my T.V's broken....it was odd...when I turned it on this morning, there was a little flash on the screen and then it was all black except for a little horizontal strip that was the actual show...and you could still hear the sound....my dad's going to try and just replace the picture tube (that's what he called it...I don't know what it is...)...this may sound completely stupid in light of what's going on around me...but I need to be able to watch Gilmore Girls (come on...it's Rory's 21st birthday!) and Supernatural (the hook man cometh).....I'm so dumb....

Mood: .......
Listening to: nothing good

Today was not a very good day....First period we found out that a girl from school, a junior, was killed in a car crash...and her boyfriend, a senior, who was driving the car is in critical condition...I actually know the guy....I've has a lot of classes with him since middle school, and he was in my Reading Non-Fiction class....the atmosphere was really weird today...they had a whole bunch of grief counselors at the library...and while there for study time, everytime you looked up there was a group of kids crying...It was really sad....

Mood: .........
Listening to: more radio stuff

Today was that job fair thingamajig....it really wasn't what my mom expected (she was the one who basically forced me to go...), mostly it was for kids who wanted to get jobs right now...I still haven't gotten my working paper (been meaning to do that....), so I couldn't sign up for anything.....I got a whole bunch of pamphlets, so I'll be reading those later....

Anyway...right now I'm downloading some music to burn...has anyone heard of Kamikaze Radio? They're a really great punk rock band, they just aren't on a major record label, so it's hard to find their cds...and I'm filling out some scholarship applications to bring in tomorrow....hopefully my counselor will call me down..I've been waiting about 2 weeks.....hmmm....

Listening to: radio

Grandma's out of the hospital and is better...she just had an infection in her leg....

Today was dull, but I did go to horse-back riding...so that was nice....had a good lesson, no problems....good day....

THAT'S IT!!!!

Mood: ....
Listening to: Remedy-Seether

weird stuff happening.....my grandmother had to go to the hospital because there's something wrong with her leg....they think there might be a blood clot or she might need vascular surgery.....if she needs that, it isn't good.....

Anyway...hopefully nothing bad with happen there.....and she'll be out soon....

School is......pretty boring....not too much going on...I'm definitely falling back into the same old routine...which is sort of comforting, and at the same time, extremely dull.....tomorrow I think I'll stay after for Environmental Club....yay.......i need to drop off a fundraiser or something.....:::sigh::: I hate going there, most of the kids there are a bunch of tree-hugging, hippy-dippy, don't take a shower for a week, Green party members (i have no idea what that means, but they keep saying it over and over again...), it never used to be that way...man, I sure miss the old days when normaler (is that a word?) people joined....we used to go on hikes, and visit museums and stuff like that, now our "president" wants us to go to environment rallies etc...is that really going to make a difference???!!!

Mood: blah...
Listening to: radio

I've always been this way....it takes me a while to get into the new "crazes" if I do at all....

It's funny how for several years now people have been downloading music to burn onto CDs or put into their MP3 etc, etc..

Well, I have finally "discovered" downloading music...its free....nothing illegal, but most of the artists are up and coming, so its kind of cool...anyway, I've been downloading songs all day, trying to get enough to fill a CD....except that I've run out of blank CDs..so I tried to burn them onto some blank DVDs that I have...baaaaaad idea, nothing really happened, just my computer froze up for a while until I figured out a way to get the DVD out...hey, it was worth a try, and I only had to sacrifice a six-seven hundred machine.....everything is fine now....so I'm changing the subject...

School was school...nothing going on there....oh,yes..I got my progress report this weekend...I'm really happy with it,  all in the 90s except my AP class with was 85-89, still thats good for an advanced class, so I'm still happy about it....my mom is still mad about me taking less classes this year, and it doesn't help that there are only four classes listed on the report card...

Mood: tired of walking.....
Listening to: Good Riddance (Time of your Life)-Green Day

that's shorthand for Mount Saint Mary College.....I love it there!!! Today was an open house of sorts, went around on little tours and talked to some of the professors...it's really nice and quiet, and small as well, only about 2600 enrolled ,which is nice....

I believe that I have a real chance in getting accepted...I just need to go to my guidance councelor to get some help with that whole process....

Anyway..I had a nice time, and I won a shirt in the raffle...good omens.....

I'm still exhausted from the concert on Friday....

Mood: so tired.....
Listening to: radio

Wow....I had so much fun last night....the concert was awesome, but the real adventure was the ride home....but I'll get to that later....

Anyway...it was pouring rain during the ride down, I mean it was scary how flooded everything was.....we left around 4pm and got to the arena around 6:15pm....a lot earlier than I thought....

I didn't bother trying to smuggle in a camera because I didn't feel like getting caught with it, but a wish I had tried because the seats were great, I've never been this close to the stage before!! At 7pm the opening act started up....I think it was Hot Hot Heat, I personally don't really like them, but it wasn't too bad...

We waited while they set up for Weezer, that took about twenty minutes, and it was so cool!! Everything was such a blur but here are the songs that I remember them playing (I'm not very good with the titles, so that why I'm not sure what was what...plus the fact that some of the songs were from the green album, which I don't have...) In no particular order:

Undone (The Sweater Song)

Buddy Holly

We Are All On Drugs

Beverly Hills

My Name is Jonas

Surf Wax America

The Damage in Your Heart

there were a lot more...but I have no idea what the titles are....

After another twenty-thirty minutes the Foo Fighter came on...the laser show was amazing!! Now, as with Weezer, I'm not sure about the titles....so bear with me:

D.O.A

Best of You

In your Honor

Time Like These

Have it All (i think..not really sure..)

Monkeywrench(don't know the whole title)

there were a lot more, and most I know the words too, but I don't know what they were....my head is still pounding, they completely rocked out!!!

Now...after the show, which ended at about 11:30PM, we got into some trouble, we were directed out of the parking lot and we had no idea where we were!! I believe we drove around for an hour and a half, trying to get out of New Jersey!! I think that for a minute or two we were actually in New York City!! Anyway, we didn't get back until 3 AM.....oh my god...that was the longest car ride of my life!! I'm still tired, but the show made it all worth it!!!

I am so glad I got those tickets, and I think Missy had fun too....all in all it was a good night and I wish it didn't go so quick...

Now...I need to get serious...tomorrow I'm visiting Mount Saint Mary college..kind of an open house tour....I don't feel like going but I have to, gotta get into a good college.....

Mood: super duper
Listening to: ..........

Tickets arrived this morning....picked them up....crisis averted!!

I like these seats...It would have been cool if they were for GA (general admission...basically right by the stage), but I would rather be able to sit if I wanted to...

Lower Section, section 124, row 15, seats 7 and 8.....sounds good to me...and to make it even better, these tickets are normally 45 dollars EACH, so I have about ninety dollars plus in tickets that I could normally not afford.....

I write what happens tomorrow.....BYE!!!!

Mood: .....
Listening to: All The Small Things-blink-182

No school today...that was nice...

Still no sign of those damn tickets.....but, we did call up the station and they promised that they would be here tomorrow....talk about waiting 'til the last minute!!! I mean, the concert is tomorrow night!! They better be there bright and early because I gotta leave by 4PM to be in New Jersey by 6PM!!!

Anyway....it should be a really great show....and if I can't get on tomorrow night (I have no idea how late it will go.....) I'll write about on Saturday...

Mood: ......cold 'n wet.....
Listening to: I think it's System of a Down....(radio)

Today there isn't much to talk about...just a "normal" day in the life of a "normal" person....

It's raining.....again.... I'm so sick of rain....plus all of my notes got ruined this morning because they got wet  when I was trying to get out of the car to go to school...I was really pissed....but I think they'll be ok, once they dry out....

2 DAYS 'till the concert!!!!

YAY!!!!!!

One more thing....a new problem has risen....the concert tickets have yet to arrive!!! I'm waiting for the station to call up and say that I can pick them up!!! ok....this is the last thing that I fucking need!!!!

Mood: happy
Listening to: the radio

Well, I was a little worried there...could ya tell?

Anyway...everything worked out great, and now I can start looking foward to Friday again...

Today was really quiet...which I'm happy about...man, I can't wait for Friday, hopefully this week will go fast...I think it will (I have Thursday off), so only 2 more days of school left....

3 DAYS 'til the concert!!!

(wow..this brings me back to August when I was counting down the days until the Green Day concert) coincidently, this concert will sort of be in the same area as the last one...they are/were both at the Meadowlands, but in different places....Giants Stadium for Green Day (that was an awesome show!!), and the Continental Airlines Arena for the Foo Fighters/Weezer....

FRIDAY COME QUICK!!!!

Mood: :)

Success!! I called Missy to see if she wanted to go and she does!!!! I am so happy it's not even funny!! AHAAAAAAAHAAAA...now I'm all hyper again...well I just wanted to write that little update.....BYE!!!

Ok...well, I called my other cousin up, just to see if she would be interested in going, and she can't....she has her homecoming that night.....ARG!!!! This is not good.....I don't have that many friends to ask.......what that hell am I going to do???!!!

I refuse to go with one of my parents, but that might just happen if I don't find someone to go with...I'm almost desperate enough to go walking down the halls asking complete strangers if they want to go.....Well, here's who I'll be asking tomorrow...Amanda, Eric (though I don't know how that would look, he's just a friend, but I think my parents might freak out if I invite him....), Nicole,........uh....I could try and ask Missy, though I haven't seen her all year (and we're not really that good of friends...), Jes(same as Missy)....see? this is where I start to go downhill!! I'm not really super duper friends with any of these people, they're just people who I see and talk to on occasion (though I've known all of them for a while.....)

SAVE ME........

Mood: sad
Listening to: radio....

Well, some bad news.....

Jen can't go to the concert (stupid PSATs), I forgot they were this coming weekend, I already took them last year, as well as the SATs this year.....

ANYWAY.....now I've got to find someone else to with me....hmmm this could be tricky....

I guess I'll ask around school on Tuesday....man....this sucks....I don't think that any of my friends really like Weezer or the Foo Fighters....though I don't really know....Well, if they don't work out, I'll ask my other cousin if she wants to go...though I think she's more into the "rap crap" out there...though it is a free concert, (winning those tickets was so cool!!), why would you want to pass it up? I don't want to be stuck going with one of my parents....these are some really good seats.....

I'm still excited about it, but I'm disappointed that Jen can't come...she was the first one I thought to ask...

Oh well........updates to come.....

Mood: happy as a clam!!!!
Listening to: who cares....!!!!!!

I can't believe it!!! I actually won the tickets!!!!!! I called...they answered.....I was the 10th caller!!!!!

this just happened like ,10 minutes ago!!!! I feel light headed...this concert has been sold out for weeks!!!!

I just called my cousin to see if she wants to go....waiting for her to call back....so I better get off the computer...but I just had to say it!!!! This Friday I'll be seeing Weezer and the Foo Fighters in concert!!!!

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!
