Oh Jon Stewart, why can't you just marry me and be done with it? You brilliant brilliant man. <3

I mentioned this in passing last entry, so I figured I'd expand on it a little bit more in an actual entry. Especially since almost none of you have heard the news.

As of September 1st, I am moving.

I will still be in Springfield. I'm not leaving the city or anything that drastic...it's just finally time for me to get out of my parents house and live on my own. I've really been living here with them way beyond necessary.

The new place is fantastic. It's a two story Victorian style house and the bedrooms are humongous. My bedroom in particular is twice the size of the room that I'm currently in at my folks place (in fact, it's bigger than their Master Bedroom). Granted, this comes with a small price. We have almost NO yard because of the size of the house...although I'm okay with that because it means less mowing.

The house is on the North Side of Springfield, close to Kearney and Kansas Expressway. Yes, I know a lot of you Springfieldians are probably going "Ew, that's the ghetto." However, the neighborhood the house is in is actually very nice. Plus, I'm moving in with three of my friends: Jean, his partner Jesse, and his younger brother Wes; On top of that, some of our mutual friends live in the house next to us. So I'm slightly covered in the "people I know living there" category.

I do think we are going to try to have a housewarming party, so I'm going to extend the invitation to my friends that might want to come. I don't know exactly when it'll be, probably towards the middle or end of September. Just keep that in mind, I'll know more details once we actually move in.

Either way, I figured you all might want to know what's going on since I almost never update this thing with anything of relevance to my life.

Thunder
by BoysLikeGirls

Today is a winding road
That's taking me to places that I didn't want to go, whoa
Today in the blink of an eye
I'm holding on to something and I do not know why I tried

I tried to read between the lines
I tried to look in your eyes
I want a simple explanation; what I'm feeling inside
I gotta find a way out
Maybe there's a way out

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder, and I said
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors
I don't wanna ever love another
You'll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain
And bring on the thunder

Today is a winding road
Tell me where to start and tell me something I don't know, whoa
Today I'm on my own
I can't move a muscle and I can't pick up the phone, I don't know

And now I'm itching for the tall grass
And longing for the breeze
I need to step outside, just to see if I can breathe
I gotta find a way out
Maybe theres a way out

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder, and I said
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors
I don't wanna ever love another
You'll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain

Yeah I'm walking on a tightrope
I'm wrapped up in vines
I think I'll make it out but you just gotta give me time
Strike me down with lightning
Let me feel you in my veins
I wanna let you know how much I feel your pain

Today is a winding road
That's taking me to places that I didn't want to go, whoa

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder, and I said
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors
I don't wanna ever love another
You'll always be my thunder

And I said...

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain
Oh baby bring on the pain
And listen to the thunder

REMODELING TIME!

Now to tear down that wall!


(Seriously, we're remodeling the house. It's been hectic and we're nowhere near close to done. Plus we still have both bathrooms after this)

Fantastic singer...but just wait until 1:01 for the twist.

All I have to say is HOLY SHIT.

(I'm sure a LOT of you have seen this and are going to say that it's old...but I must have missed it when it came around the first time)

I have tickets to go see Obama speak at my old High School tomorrow.

I = thrilled.

A big big big BIG thank you to Josh for actually snagging me one while I was preoccupied with other duties.

It's official:

Wicked is being made into a movie.


Thanks to soletta for the news.


To say that I'm excited is an understatement

Final Fantasy XIII is coming to the XBox 360. That is all.

FUCK YOU KONAMI. FUCK YOU.

If you ruin Rock Band, I will NEVER buy one of your products ever again.

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!


...I guess the name of my icon is wholly appropriate for this then.

My great-grandmother, Helen (known to all the grandkids as Nana) passed away last night due to a metastasized cancer that had been spreading rapidly over the last few weeks. She'd been living in a Nursing Home for the last 5 or 6 years because of frail bones (she fell and broke her hip). I went in and saw her on Monday morning to say goodbye...as we knew she didn't much time left. She'd stopped eating and drinking by then. It was extremely sad to see her like that. She looked very small and frail...I almost didn't recognize her.

It was just very hard to deal with at the time, especially with everything else going on in my life. I don't know why the universe has decided to shit on me in cosmic proportions right now, but apparently it has. Hopefully there's some really good news that'll come out of all of this.

But either way, I'm kind of glad my Nana finally passed, because she'd been rapidly slipping into dementia and had been bedridden for almost four weeks now. I'm glad she's no longer in pain...but it's been really hard on my whole family, especially my mother (who essentially has been her caretaker since she was admitted to the Nursing Home).

I wish I could make this post longer, but sadly I really don't know what all to say. I'm going to miss my Nana a lot, we weren't exceptionally close, but I always really liked being around her. She was so serious and funny all at the same time. I hope that whatever happens, she lived the life she wanted to.

And now, I have to go call work and tell them I'm going to be gone for the next four days because of all the funeral stuff we have to do. I may not be around much during the next few days guys. It just all depends on what's happen. I'll keep you all posted when I can.

Went to the Branson Landing yesterday evening. Original plan was going to actually go ride Go Karts and stuff, but then we couldn't find the place we were originally going to, so we just ended up at the Landing for about 5 hours.

I only snapped a few pictures, mostly because I only had my Sidekick with me, and its pictures aren't that awesome. But here are the ones I got...

Sorry

Oh I had alot to say
Was thinking on my time away
I missed you and things weren't the same
'Cause everything inside it never comes out right
And when I see you cry it makes me wanna die.

I'm sorry I'm bad, I'm sorry you're blue
I'm sorry about all the things I said to you
And I know I can't take it back
I love how you kiss, I love all your sounds
And baby the way you make my world go 'round
And I just wanted to say I'm sorry.

This time I think I'm to blame
It's harder to get through the days
We get older and blame turns to shame
'Cause everything inside it never comes out right
And when I see you cry it makes me wanna die.

I'm sorry I'm bad, I'm sorry you're blue
I'm sorry about all the things I said to you
And I know I can't take it back
I love how you kiss, I love all your sounds
And baby the way you make my world go 'round
And I just wanted to say I'm sorry.

Every single day I think about how we came all this way
The sleepless nights and the tears you cried
It's never too late to make it right
Oh yeah sorry

I'm sorry I'm bad, I'm sorry you're blue
I'm sorry about all the things I said to you
And I know I can't take it back
I love how you kiss, I love all your sounds
And baby the way you make my world go 'round
And I just wanted to say I'm sorry.
I'm sorry baby.
I'm sorry baby, Yeah.
I'm sorry.

Sidenote: It's great if you don't agree with my opinion on the matter of LJ. I'm fine with that, that's your opinion. But don't sit there and bitch about how the people who are upset about this are stupid, because that moves from giving an opinion to just being a jerk.

Thank you Joss Whedon and whoever is writing your comics for turning Buffy into a lesbo in Season 8.

All I have to say is....WHY?!

http://www.bulaklak.org/

They have a fucking application process. And a PHONE INTERVIEW.

...Honestly, is this like a fucking job or something?

IT'S JUST A GYARU (GAL) FASHIONISTA CIRCLE.

i.e. a bunch of American people who think they're Japanese and are desperately trying to prove it.

For those of you who don't know what "Gyaru" (also, Ko-Gal, Ganguro, etc) is, basically it's this:



A group of (mainly) girls that wear a certain type of makeup in a certain way along with certain types of clothing.

And what this all boils down to is this:

You have to interview in order to be in this group that all wears certain types of clothing and makeup, all because it'll make you "Cool" (and a fucking Japanophile).

I have never seen a bigger group of assholes in all my life.

Oh wait...yes I have.

EDIT: APPARENTLY, I am starting internet drama. Maybe we'll get on LJDrama soon!

From here on out, this journal is to be kept FRIENDS ONLY.
