Eff You, Non-Scary Costumes

I honestly don't get it.

Since when did it become okay to wear costumes like Peter Pan or some sort of fairy on Halloween? Honestly? The tradition is to wear something scary to blend in with the souls from the underworld that may be milling about (courtesy my history teacher, Mr. Cain). Something tells me these cute little bumble bees and butterflies don't have much to do with the ways of Hades.

Tsk tsk.

Parents, you ought to be ashamed of yourself for letting your child dress up as Harry Potter and go from door to door. At least the Cullens are VAMPIRES, which are SLIGHTLY REMOTELY SCARY. You grew up in the 70s and 80s and whenever else... that was when Halloween was still scarier than it is now. That was when tradition was still intact.

But no.

It all went to Hell.

Pun only slightly intended.

BFF main girl Abby (as Clever Girl Tia would say) is going as a vampire, with a look that is inspired by Twilight, and slightly reminiscent of 30 Days of night, what with the bloody chin and chest and loads of cleavage... which is actually more Twilight-y.
BFF main "pet lesbian" (not really a lesbian) Sam is... well, I don't know.
Megan, another dear friend of mine that I love more than a gay boy should love a female with female parts, is going as Mrs. Lovett. Hurrah for Sweeny Todd!!!
And I, myself, am going as... something.... with a blank-faced mask... and rubber knife.
MWHAHAHAHAHA!!
Sort of The Strangers meets Scream in a Michael Myers sort of way.
Kay?
Kay.

But yeah. We're probably gonna chill at Sam's, then run around her neighborhood like douchebags for a couple hours. Stairwell Buddies (I'll explain later) Jayson and Becca might be joining us, along with their lesbian lover, Rosie, an AP Psychology class mate of mine. She dressed as something truly scary today - A GIRL!!!! AHHHHHH!!!

But yeah.

Well I guess TTFN, and TTYL.

Politics Should Not Be Blogged About... BUT!

You know what really pisses me off? When younger kids say they want so-and-so president to win, when they're only going on what their parents are saying. If they don't watch the news and know what's going on in the world, they should not be stating their opinions. Because I guarantee you, all these preppy freshmen are saying they want McCain to win because their parents want McCain to win, because they're rich and McCain is lowering taxes YET AGAIN on the upper-class and raising them on us middle-class and lower-class folk. My freshman friend's rationale was "if the rich are taxed less, they can pay the poor."
Sorry to tell you, Hayley, but that's not how it works.
Money isn't tossed out of limos by the filthy rich at the peasents begging on the streets, searching for scraps of food. No, us middle class folk - well, our parents in some cases - have to work for the money. The rich people don't just throw the money at us. It doesn't work that way.
Taxes, the war, and the economy in general. Those are the three big topics right now. I know Obama can help with the taxes, and the economy - I've skimmed his plan. HOWEVER, I don't think he's the best commander in chief. I don't think he'd get us out of Iraq in the right manner, and that's what scares me. But it beats the hell out of losing money faster and faster thanks to McCain.
My best friend's father says he's having qualms about Obama because then, when he wins, black people will be walking around like they're all high and mighty.
Not only is this insanely IGNORANT, but untrue. Obama wants equality. Period. And what does it matter if black people are walking around all high and mighty? Have they not got the shorter end of the stick for the past couple centuries? I'm not saying white people or hispanics or anyone DESERVE the shorter end of the stick, but still... I don't know, I'm kind of rambling.
Abortion is a very big topic for me. I do not like abortion. At all. However, I understand in some cases, it needs to be done. Yes, girls should be able to keep their legs closed, and boys should be able to keep it in their pants, but Goddamnit, if a teenager gets pregnant, and she was practicing safe sex in the first place... well, you gotta do what you gotta do. And it fucking sucks. But that's how it goes.
BUT.
I do NOT think abortion should be used as a form of birth control. You fuck, you forget some sort of contraceptive, and you get pregnant. No. You should've been responsible.

I'm going to get spiritual for a second. If you don't believe in God, or some sort of soul/life-force that animates us all, feel free to skip this section.

I believe that when a baby is killed in the womb, that that baby's "soul," or whatever you want to call it, becomes another soon-to-be baby. God would not let a young soul not have a chance on this earth.

[/religion]

Okay.
I think that's it.
Let the hate comments begin.

OBAMA FTW.

So where was I...?

Ah, yes. Job applications.

This will be my first job, and I have three applications to turn in. I'm nervous; I really want a job, but I'm scared I won't be good at it. Hell, I'm scared I won't be hired. The three possibilities are:

1) Ace Hardware
2) Starbucks
3) Cheeburger Cheeburgers - a local burger restaurant

I'm fond of lists tonight.

I've used a total of 4000something texts this month because I'm that much of a loser. I actually got caught texting in class for the first time on like, Wednesday. I was texting someone that was in the same class, but was sitting seats away, and the teacher was talking. He just walked over and held out his hand. I was like "ugh" and gave the phone to him. What made matters worse was this 1-800 number that keeps calling me to tell me that I "owe payments on my vehicle" - a vehicle that I don't even have - decided to call as the phone was in his pocket. It took a minute for the original, Japanese One Missed Call ringtone to register, and I was horrified. Gah.

I had more to talk about. Damnit. Oh well.

I'll try to get on!! Pray for connections as good as these!!

~J*~

OH MY GOD HAHAHAH!! That Totally Made My Life

Well, it didn't REALLY make my life. It's one of the few things that made my life, let's put it like that. Well, not FEW things, but.... Okay, I"m going to stop rambling. The only reason I'm rambling is because I've been without blogging for a week now and I feel like the words have been bottled up inside me, threatening to explode into nothingness. What I really need to do is write one of my two stories.

Anygay.

What made my life, you ask?

You know my last blog, how I was ranting and raving about Comcast?

A COMCAST REPRESENTATIVE EFFING COMMENTED!! AHAHAHAHAH!! Go check it out if you don't believe me. But yeah. So I've been without Internet for a week. Comcast was supposed to come yesterday. Good thing my mom called and found out they weren't coming. The chick she talked to was a real bitch. I want to stab her in the face. Not really, but you get the idea. So we cancelled Comcast internet and they sent a rep out here today to pick up the modems and shit. So I'm riding a low connection right now, but it's better than no connection at all :D We're getting Verizon. Again. Eventually.

My aunt finally sent me a birthday present. Verrrryyyyy late. It's a $25 iTunes gift card. Figures, I find out I can actually USE the internet, and I don't remember the stuff I wanted. Blah.

I'm sure I'll have more to post tomorrow. I get the opportunity and I forget what I wanna say... Oh well!!

OOOOOHHHH!!!!

So I logged on Facebook half an hour ago and found I had an inbox message from a writer at the school paper saying she wanted to interview me, because she's doing an article about bloggers. I feel veryveryvery special =D

Okay I have more to talk about.

I've spent most of my $150 from my birthday. I also spent $20 more of my Old Navy gift card. So I have like, $60 left on that. But I spent the money on:

1)Halloween ((the remastered 30th anniversary... I think...))
2)The Strangers ((One of the like, three movies that creeped me out))
3)Sex and the City Movie ((I need to get the series))
4)The Mist ((Hahaha I made Sam watch it; she hated me because of the ending. Watch it to see for yourself))
5) 30 Days of Night ((One of the better vampire flicks I've seen in a while))
6) Anita Blake #10: Narcissus in Chains ((Still reading the ninth one, Obsidian Butterfly))
7) Betrayed ((The sequel to that book Marked. I don't like the writing that much, but I like the book... I can't explain it))
8)Anita Blake: The First Death ((Graphic novel; prequel to series))
9)Anita Blake: Guilty Pleasures - Volume One ((Graphic novel version of the first Anita Blake book... or at least part of it... is my obsession apparent yet?))
10) A blank-faced mask for Halloween ((It's creepy as hell if you ask me... but I don't know if it was worth nine dollars...))

And I got a realllllly comfy hoodie at Old Navy. Yeah. Hawtness.

I have three - count 'em, three - job applications to turn in... Gah. Okay. I'll post another part to this post, because my mom's harassing me for the computer. Kay.

For Another Week - Or More - Internet, I Bid You Adieu

So you know how I said my Internet was acting up?
Wait...
Did I say that?
Well it has been for since we've had this new Internet. And the modem finally decide to say "eff the world, I'm going to shoot myself in the motherboard" and died. Suicide is bad, children.
Our Internet provider - the infamous Comcast - was supposed to come on Saturday to fix it. THEY NEVER EFFING DID. So I'm a bit livid. I am able to access the net from my dad's house, but seeing as I'm only over here every other weekend... I swear to god, if Comcast doesn't come next Saturday they will all be tortured to the point of death.
No. Effing. Joke.
Psychopath? Who, me?

So I will be without Blogger, Facebook, AIM, and MSN. Well, I have mobile AIM, but it's not the same... at least I have mobile Twitter, too... BUT STILL.
Ugh.
I feel so cut off from the world.
**proceeds to text everyone**

When I Die, My Organs Shall Live On

Okay, so first of all... I know I have not been posting. And I'm sorry. Truly, I am. Please, find it in your hearts to forgive me.

If you don't, you're a homophobe.

Just kidding.

So yesterday, we didn't have school, so I hung out with Joey all day. No, not myself. My FRIEND Joey. The one I've known since I was six. Yeahhhh. That Joey. So yeah. That was fun.

I know you're wondering about the title. Well, if you're following me on Twitter, then you know that at about 11:50 this morning, I received my learner's permit after getting only two questions on the test wrong. You're only allowed to get three wrong, so needless to say, I was terrified. The signature on my permit would've been bad without the shaking hands, but since my hands WERE shaking terribly... it looked like I had a seizure while I wrote it. Not to mention my picture.

I shudder when I see it.

But yes. My organs will live on. Because I am an organ donor. Mwhahahah... I WILL BE IMMORTAL!!!!!

Stupid Christianity

Just kidding.
But seriously. I wanted to hang out with one of two friends today and they're both going to be at church at the only available times I could hang out with them. UGHness. Why must you go to a building to worship?
Blah blah.
Not ranting about religion.
Just like... blarggghhhhh. I'm going to be at home by myself with nothing to do as my mom goes out to lunch/dinner with a friend and like, I wanted to go to Sam's, but she's going to church at like, 5:30. My mom's lunch thing is at 4:00. And then my friend Joey - no, I'm not friends with myself - isn't going to be home from church till 4:00, and my mom would have to leave here by 3:30 and it takes like, 5 minutes to get to Joey's house. I mean, I could walk there, but my mom doesn't want me walking on a highway. Even though I have before.
But she doesn't need to know that.
Shhhhh.
So, is it just me, or are you going to miss Clever Girl Tia as much as I am? She's going on vacation, and she might not be able to blog for a while. Depressing, right?
=[
My mom's watching Days of Our Lives, and I have nothing better to do. I mean, I should be finishing reading Duma Key* - fantabulous book, very creepy - so I can read these little R.L. Stine books that Abby gave me so I can read Obsidian Butterfly* - the ninth Anita Blake* novel.
I love Anita.
A bit too much.
More than a gay boy should love a woman.
xD
Okay I'm done rambling.
Buhbyez.

* = spoiler warning. Can you tell I like linking things? :D
