The Presidents of the USA – “Cleveland Rocks” It’s no secret that I didn’t get along with my brothers growing up. They’re 3 and 6 years younger than me, and I used to go through phases where I’d ally with one of them to beat up on the other, and then the alliance would switch [...]

Nine Inch Nails – “Reptilian” I’m going to begin by saying everything went really well and my week was great. Tuesday, my cousin Kalena was visiting by sheer coincidence and we got to hang out for a bit. Wednesday and Thursday I spent around the house, not doing a whole lot. Friday, I found the [...]

School of Rock DVD I’m slowly but surely catching up on my homework. I still have a couple of big projects to work out, but I have today, tomorrow, and Monday to finish them so I’m feeling confident at the moment. And technically I have until Thursday afternoon for both of them, but you know. [...]

In Flames – “Jester Script Transfigured” I was going to write some poignant story about my mother and I for today, but then I searched and searched my computer and photo albums for a photo of us together and discovered that I had none. This doesn’t mean that there aren’t any in existence, nor does [...]

Jimmy Eat World – “If You Don’t, Don’t” Hi. I have something to talk about now. Some background: I am extremely grouchy in the mornings. I do not enjoy getting up early, and I have just gone without food for a number of hours, and we all know how awful I get without food. This [...]

The Beach Boys – “Good Vibrations” Today is a gorgeous day. Sunny, mid-60′s, lovely. I am celebrating by, um, sitting inside in the dark, listening to Marilyn Manson. I am nothing if not appropriate. Actually, I am importing a Beach Boys CD onto my computer as we speak, a CD that I will listen to [...]

Marilyn Manson – “Disposable Teens” I talked to my mom today for quite a while. They recently bought a red Ford Ranger to replace the truck that I wrecked and my brother subsequently fixed, because it is a piece of crap. However, since the Red Ranger is so nice (it’s not new, but nearly so) [...]

whatever the boys are listening to This Christmas was interesting gift-wise, because since I’m over 18, aunts and uncles shouldn’t/don’t really feel compelled to give me gifts, yet some do anyway (thanks guys!). And since they don’t really know what I want, they either give me cash or gift cards. The payout this year: $75 [...]

Landen playing guitar As some of you may well know, Christmas Eve is more of a Christmas to me than the actual Christmas Day is. This is because for some strange, unknown reason, my dad’s side of the family celebrates it on the 24th. I kind of like it, because then it means that Daniel [...]

Trans-Siberian Orchestra – “Carol of the Bells” Christmas vacation is always insane. Case in point: yesterday I helped bottle beer, then went to a pajama/dinner party, and then today we went shopping in Coeur d’ Alene, and our basement started flooding. The beer thing: My mom got my dad a “make your own beer” gift [...]

nothing. I’m listening intently for the UPS truck. Highlights of the trip: Seeing Kalena for the first time in years. Hanging out with Kelsie, who is the same age as my brother but you’d never know it. Using my Aunt Missy’s hair straight-iron – MUST HAVE ONE NOW. Crashing on the motorcycle. The fact that [...]

nothing I have been going non-stop since I got here. The first night, we all went up to my grandparent’s house and hung out with the cousins for a while and took pictures and ate pizza. On Thanksgiving, we ate a lot of food and then went outside to play on the motorcycles. Kalena (bestest [...]

Hammerfall – “Hearts on Fire” Today has totally not gone as planned. I was supposed to get off work at 12, and then Daniel and I were going to meet up to go to the Post Office. However, the guy that has the shift after me never showed up. He never called either, so I [...]

Mindbenders – “Groovy Kind Of Love” Today is Daniel’s last day at work. Yesterday his manager said that he will be well-missed by everybody, and I’m sure it’s true. They all love him there. It’s time for a change though, that’s for sure. He starts at the coffee place on Sunday at 7am. He got [...]

the radio When I went home for Nana’s service earlier this month, I visited my parents. My mom had baked two apple pies that day (my favorite!) because she was going to give one to my aunt and uncle. Apparently, my aunt started having some (abdominal, I guess) pain one day and it escalated to [...]
