its funny to know that i've had this thing for more than two years.
i can go back and read through my entries, and just see how i've grown. even some of the ones that aren't that old...well, i can see my immaturity. when i first entered highschool, i was still mentally in eighth grade. i was in eighth grade when i got a live journal. during my freshman year, i changed drastically. i changed from anti-social anime lover and lover of 'screamo' music into, actually, quite the little hipster. i stopped talking to my old friends, and deemed myself to cool for them. i started to shop at urban outfitters and listen to indie music like um....fucking franz ferdinand? i dont even know. its because of the girls i hung around with. thankfully, when i started coming back to my senses and stopped being a snobbed-up bitch, they dumped me as a friend. you see, when i started acting like my real self, they didnt like it. i was too open-minded. they decided i was a lesbian who looked like a pimple because i dyed my hair red. ahahaha :D i was crushed at first though, really. i didnt understand. actually, now i believe that it was one of the best things that have ever happened to me! i'm back to being a nice person. i've started playing music again, and i'm more confident in my art than i ever have. and no, its not anime fanart ;]
so in the time i've had a livejournal,
i've gone from anime loving nicole
to fall out boy obsessed nicole
to reading things i shouldnt be reading nicole
to snobby bitchy hipster nicole
to un-happy why me nicole
to just plain happy with herself nicole.
awesome.
oh, and i still like fall out boy. i love all kinds of music, really. jazz, folk, old school hip hop, psychadelic....pretty much everything!

also, rest in peace david carradine, farrah fawcett, and michael jackson. i hope you all will be remembered for your talents, and not your vices.

that highschool is really stupid. i mean, i dont mind the work, its more the people. they are so...shallow. i know they arent worth my time, that i am probably a better perosn than them, etc. its just that i dont understand how you can be that shallow. whatever. i should probably start cleaning my room soon.

i've been reading over my old entries. i sound like such a twat.
psssssh.

Today i was interviewed for newspaper commitee. It wasn't your usual interview. We were interviewed in a group. The first thing we did was pass around a bucket of random stuff. Whatever you pulled from the bucket you were asked a random question about and you had to make up a silly creative answer. I pulled out a green santa clause bendy straw. The question I was asked was:
"Where do the Cuban explorers go to drink from their santa bendy straws?"

my response:
"The Cuban explorers drink from their bendy straws in the north pole because the first time they visited the north pole Santa gave them the straws. Now every time they go back to the north pole they must drink from the straws in order not to anger Santa and be put on the naughty list."

The next thing that we did was receive 5 random pictures from magazines. We had to pick two, one being just like us and the other being not like us at all. The two i picked were of Jeff Hardy with deer horns making a funny face and the other was of a viking. I said:
"I am most like this picture of the guy with the deer horns because I'm kind of silly and I make faces like that a lot. I am not like this viking because I dont have beefy legs or rape and/or pillage."

people laughed. i actually made people laugh. That is quite a feat for me. I'm glad I didn't make myself sound like an idiot because I was really really nervous. My palms were sweating profusely and my stomach hurt really bad. The reason? The guy asking the questions was really really.....good looking. eh heh.

I know I've already said this, but I am the biggest procrastinator I know. crap.

I just dropped my phone in oreoes. wow.

I cannot even begin to tell you how excited I am about the new Panic! at the disco album. It's coming out in March, which is the same month the Crystal Castles album comes out. O_O super excited about that. I got their "Air War" 7" vinyl in the mail the other day...It's real pretty.

I went to Maya's party last night. It was fuuuuun. I think I still have my fake mustache somewhere.

Man, there are so many shows I want to go to. This Saturday the Foo Fighters and Against Me! are gonna be playing. Next month its Drop Dead Gorgeous w/ SKSk. The week after that shows it's The Whigs, and then the next week it's The Devil Wears Prada w/ Silverstein and A Day To Remember. I'm most definitely not going to get to see the Foo Fighters...it's one of those shows where you have to order the tickets before hand and they're like $40.00. Ten bucks at the door is more like it.

"May" is a freaking awesome movie. that is all.

I am a procrastinator. there, I admit it.

Christmas break is over *tear tear*

I got a zune for Christmas. That was the highlight besides seeing my dad.

M.I.A is really cool....seriously. She has a really different sound, plus her new album has timbaland on it, which is always a plus.

I am so tired.

I just watched a short indie film staring Pete Wentz.
It was actually pretty good (besides Pete's acting...*cough*)

It took my breath away.

It was a gorgeous piece of art....

good gosh...just...wow.

if you're interested in watching it, it's available for download at icecreamhdaches
just a warning, there is female nudity and a sex scene.

I just unplugged my toilet all by myself...oh yeaaah. go meee! go meee! WOOP WOOP!

in other news...school is as drama filled as usual, and I mean CHOCK full of drama. At least two people break down crying everyday...it's just peachy keen. but thats okaaay, cos I've got music and my close friends and thats all I need! Speaking of music, the Fall Out Boy concert was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. There were a bunch of jerks, but they didn't matter...I had the most wonderful time. uhhh...and the singer from Cute Is What We Aim For(ewww) was actually really old looking in person...he had a crater face XD I'm mean. Annnywaaays, I might get to see The Academy Is, Cobra Starship, Armor For Sleep, and Sherwood next Tuesday! EEEK! I'm excited...mostly for Cobra Starship, though. The Academy is is(whoah) a really great band, but I could live without seeing them...they just don't pull me in.
Okay, so, I've been listening to the song "Williamsburg" by Armor For Sleep on repeat for the last three hours...that song is amaaaazing. I really need to get an AFS cd :/ I actually have a list of cds that I want to buy...and there are A LOT. BTW, I still haven't bought Say Anything's newest album...I need to buy the damn thing!

WATCH WILLIAMSBURG!!!

one of the best music videos ever, I swear. It's amazing.

They are so funny...oh my gosh. I love them. I've been listening to them a lot lately, they make me feel better. I've been listening to The Format a lot, too. Music makes everything better.

Wooo...Arma Angelus just came on. I feel like hardcore dancing in front of an ATM now. pffft. I MISS YOU GRANDMA!!!!...ha ha ha ha...no one is going to get that.

Boys seem to ruin everything....
But then again, this so called friend of mine is always mad at me. always. It seems like she searches for a reason to hate me. I don't know why...maybe she's jealous of me. And I broke down crying at lunch. It's not fair. I've been nothing but nice to her.

"I'll be fine
even though I'm not always right
I can count on the sun to shine
Dedication takes a life-time
But dreams only last for the night"

God, I love All Time Low. They make me feel better.

Yeah, so my school just decides to give us today off. It's in the middle of the week! None of my classmates can get rides because all of their parents are working...So I'm stuck home, and I'm terribly bored. I might play gamecube for the first time, in, like, a year. wow...I am bored!

Watching "Family Guy." It makes me happy. I finally feel like writing. Hm :)

Okay....where did my layout go? AAAAAAHHH!!!!

NEW LAYOUT BITCHES.

"Little Miss Sunshine" is like the most awesome-est movie ever.

I'm not going to see Framing Hanley. Some things happened...and...uhhh...they are personal.

Yeah.

So, yesterday I laid a blanket down in my backyard and just laid there and read. I think I listened to almost everything on my mp3 player. I drew a crapload, too. Lately I've been drawing a lot of birds on wires. I don't know why. I've been drawing a lot of trees, too.

Today I'm not doing anything of real interest. I'm gonna go to Borders and probably buy 1097343865382974 tons of CDs.

OMGTHISISMYFAVMUSICVIDEOLIEKEVAR

what video you ask?

"Sugar, we're going down"

Sure, everybody knows that song, but the video....It has a very special place in my heart <3

I call the characters "The Deer Boy" and "The Hopeful Girl." They are my OTP fo sho'

Oh, this is random but today my mother got me a sketchbook from Walmart. It was one of those ones without spiral and it opened on the top. Okay, since I'm like, totally OCD I made her take me to Hobby Lobby so I could get a proper spiral-bound side opening one. Yeah.

Olivia and Brooke are taking me to see Framing Hanley on Sunday! I'm excited! Oh, and possible FOB show in November :D It's gonna be orgasmic I tell ya!

I've got a science test tomorrow, so.....*skitters off to study*

I stole'd this from smittygirl
