God Knows I Don't Want To Be An Angel

So yesterday I got back to Michigan to find that my parents are "officially" divorced and have been dating other people for a while. Yeah... thanks for telling me.

I went to a Silverstein/Blessthefall/A Static Lullaby/+someone else show tonight at the Majestic. Pretty boss venue. I'm glad I went instead of selling my ticket to buy a Rammstein/Emigrate CD. It was my first time at a venue with no barrier. There was this fun thing under the stage right in front of me that I could stand on and have the stage at my hip level while everyone else was shoulder level with it.

I spent the better part of the show in a seething rage due to the fact that I was repeatedly stepped on and kicked in the head by crowd surfers. I was also just about to cry half the time and definitely attempted to cause as much pain in return as I possibly could. Cos you know I'm friendly and understanding like that when my face has been shoved into an amp so hard that my eyebrow bleeds and swells up. Also, I got kicked in the nose at least twice.

After the show I had a lot of fun talking to the guys in the bands, so it was ok.

Rosenrot, Oh Rosenrot

I feel sort of bad about not updating my blog very frequently, but all I really have to talk about (or think about for that matter) is Rammstein and I'm fairly certain no one but me really wants to read me ramble on about them. But really... that's all my day really consists of while I'm waiting to go to Michigan tomorrow. Sitting in bed, watching Rammstein videos, looking up hot pictures of Doom, and just generally listening to them and talking to people online. But I like it... haha. Of course I do.

Anyway, sorry for being boring. Fun times coming soon.

This Is My World

So clearly I love Rammstein, but the other day, I discovered a not-so-new but not-so-known band called Emigrate. It's the on-hold side project of Rammstein's lead guitarist Richard Kruspe (who is a total babe, by the way). Anyway, the styles are pretty different, Emigrate is more mellow, but still really good, and Richard being the lead guitarist for both bands, the guitar parts are a little similar, which is good because they're both amazing and a half in that department. All of Emigrate's lyrics are in English, which isn't as cool as German, but it makes it a little nicer to immediately know what's going on in the song instead of being under the impression that it's about something completely different... like Keine Lust. Richard definitely has a unique singing voice, and I guess it's either hit or miss as I really like it, but it bugs my friend Ben. So yeah... anyway, the debut album is really good. So far Emigrate, My World, and New York City are my favourite songs. I'll probably blab more about this later.

On another happy note, my iTunes was playing Rosenrot this morning when I woke up.

Hmmm... AWKWARD.

I think this is turning into some sort of Rammstein blog... either that or it's just that I think about them from dawn until dusk. I'm sure it's the latter.

I feel so sorry for Till. That girl was 14. He must have felt like the worst creeper ever. Also, I like Richard's hat. It's rather epic and slightly ridiculous, however, for some odd reason, he totally pulls it off. I think it's because he's abnormally sexy. That must be it. I also like that he's smoking in the video... and he's supposed to be a priest. But then again, when isn't he smoking?

It's such a good song.

Hier Kommt Die Sonne

A. I love this song.
B. I love this video.

Live From France

VOLKERBALL < click to download

(you know you want it)

And I Say Hello

I'm way too excited about going to Michigan on Friday.

So here is a Beatles video for you to watch while I attempt to contain my excitement.

Hmm... Yes.

Stein Um Stein

I'd just like to re-iterate how much I love Rammstein.

This is all.

I Love The Internet

I overslept and missed a show I really wanted to watch, which sucks, however, I'm loving that with the help of the internet, it doesn't really matter that I missed watching it since I can just watch it online later today or tomorrow or whatever.

Stoked to go home in a week!

Old School Is Love

Check out Jay Adams, Stacy Peralta, and Ty Page at Del Mar! I'm fairly certain oldschool skating is cooler than current skating.

A Little More Jean Reno

Oh. Dear. <3

Watch.

<3 Wasabi. <3 Jean Reno. <3 Hubert. <3 Momo.

3 Way

This is Stephen Fry. His ridiculously sexy nose points in at least 3 different directions. Oh. It's hot. Very hot.

Do want.

PatPatPatrick Ddddempsy

...is my lover? I wish. He's way too boss for words. Due to technological upgrades and updates, etc. I am finally able to watch Enchanted again. YAY! I adore this movie so much. I used to watch it all the time, and I'm sure I soon will again. It's so Disney, but it's like... live action too. I can't say how much I love this movie, I like it too much. Also, I can now watch a bunch of Grey's Anatomy episodes since those were also saved on my external hard drive! YAY!!!

I love ritz crackers as well.

Save.Save.SaveMe!

I've been listening to nothing but Queen for the past 3 or 4 days. I <3 Queen. Like. Really. Really. Love.

My mom came to visit me which was WAY funsies. I decided to take my ADHD pills one day, way too high of a doseage for someone who wasn't used to them, so I was a total zombie the whole day... not too much fun. But I've sort of decided that I'm kind of a nicer person when I take them, so I should probably go get myself a prescription.

I got a new tattoo. My roommate's boyfriend is a tattoo artist, and since she didn't want a tattoo, he tattooed me instead <3



It's a dragon fractal straight out of Jurassic Park. <3 that book is so epic. And it's on my left forearm, if you can't tell.

Lunch tiem!

The First Thing I Did When I Got To Japan, Was Buy A Japanese Guitaaaaur!

What an awkward accent. I have NO idea where its from, however Wikipedia tells me that most members of Cheap Trick are from Illinois.

I finally found my keys in a pile of junk on my floor. I'm going down to metro to buy some tofu and noodles, etc. I'm pretty stoked about the next few days. Soo many things I know now that I didn't before about this city that my mother will have no clue about. How to work the ttc properly, where to eat, the quickest way to get where. The best places to hang out, shop, whatever.

I'm a little less than half-way through JPark and I'm already itching to get my fingers on a copy of The Lost World. A book I have zero experience with at all since I've never read it or heard it on tape or anything. I've seen the movie and I adore it, but are they anything alike?? Dyyyying here. I think I get way too excited about books and my mummy knows this. I went to Italy when I was 16/17, and for the last week there, we were in a b&b by the coast near a lovely little town and a really great beach.

There were plenty of things to do there and I could have easily spent all of my time out and about, but I ended up skipping the museums and excursions and beach hangouts for the most part to lounge around the house with my nose stuck in various books. I spend a lot of time online, but all I'm ever really doing is reading about things or talking to people. I really think if there were a deserted island with a great library and some food, I wouldn't mind being stuck there. I'm a TOTAL bookworm and a half. Fersher.

Anyway, I'm just itching to finish JPark so I can start reading Lolita. I can't contain myself and keep reading little snippits of it and I know I'm going to love it. I also really want to read Alice in Wonderland, this mostly stemms from listening to Jefferson Airplane. Hahaha. I find so many good books through music. Like the book Perfume... I adore that book sooo much!!

Nerd + food tiem.

Ps. I'm quite impressed at how quickly my knee healed. I mean, its still not totally fine, but I can walk with no pain whatsoever. And I didn't even have ice or bother to really take care of it... Hahah, I'm so hard on my body. It puts up with me well though. If I treated anyone else like this, I'm sure I'd be in legal trouble and they'd hate me. Haha.

Ilovemyself<3

As He Goes Left

I have managed to acquire a copy of not only Jurassic Park, but also, Lolita. I get the feeling I'm gonna love that book. Reading JPark seems wrong without hotdogs and chai tea, but I don't know where (in my room) my house key is, so I can't book down the road to get any, since I know where to get both.

My mother is coming to visit and I'm stoked about all that. I reallyreallyreally need to find my keys!! Argh.

I've discovered that although I am a teeny tiny person, 5'4, I don't fit on a bed. I'm amazing; truly.

Grammar is my lifelonglover.

Hittin The Board For The Lord

Saved! is such a boss movie. Chad Faust (I have his auto!!) And Patrick Fugit are such foxes frsrs.

So today I hung around not doing too much. My knee is fully functional now, although if I touch it, not so good.

Alexander Mac aka FrankenMac decided to restart on me, which means I won't be word processing any time soon as I've decided to just wait until I get a new computer to attempt to turn it on again I suppose I'll have to transfer my files now. I might as well save up for a new iPod and begin a new collection on a new computer as Hamish is nearly full anyway and I don't really bother keeping music files on Aly as they just slow it down and take up picture space.

Maxim DeWinter was going strong until it decided to conk out on the internet half way through the day, so I've been sticking to Alohisha GG for the rest of the day, not my fave as Maxim has the better battery and MSN. But oh well, I'm sure it'll fix itself eventually.

I found my nobabies noperiod pills in the back pocket of my nudies today, too late. I guess I'll just bleed this week and not worry about it for another 3+ months. Not so much yay. I'm awkwardly crampy, which is hella weird as I don't usually get crampy anymore. Oh well.

I decided to get back on my skateboard today and skated down to metro for something to drink. I ended up with green poweraid and bugles as its vegan and yummy. I ate them a little quick and got queasy to Andrew WK. I decided to go chill with the roomies. That was good fun. Some hilarious guys came over and everyone tried as hard as they could to get me to take a hit of weed or a sip of their vodka, however as I say, "I don't drink or do drugs."

So then they called me straightedge. *eyeroll* Which is hella lame. Being clean doesn't require a lable just like drinking occasionally doesn't either, so why the fuck be pretentious and give it one? I haiiiiiight sXe people who are oh so proud to call themselves straightedge. Get a life and get over yourselves.

So now a total of 10 or so people have seen my tattooed ass. Ahahaha, the only person who has seen it more than once is meeee!!! I don't show it off much, butt I like to look (see what I did there?).

I think I might have athsma. I'll wait until I get a healthcard to explore that further. The last time I smoked a cigarette, half nearly killed me (and then I almost died falling down a run on my snowboard because it mellowed me out way much) and then I had this crazy hacking nasty cough when people were smoking pot in the kitchen... So yeah, I'll get that checked out. I've discovered that I'm not deaf in my left eat; my headphones just suck ass.

Last night I had this epic dream about Jurassic Park, which has me jonesing to read the book again. Last time, I distinctly remember listening to it on tape early early in the morning, in the spring, while having bought a ton of shit, chai tea, and hot dogs from 7/11 and then having them with mama in the livingroom. And then later probably skipping school as I often did when I was a junior. It was a fun year. I like that I only really went to high school for two years. Everyone always says, "yeah, it sucks; but you have to go," when really, you actually don't have to go at all. Obviously.

I'm dyyying to nerd out over JPark when I finally get my hands on a copy. I'm also looking forward to reading Nabakov's Lolita. Fersher. I hear its megahellauber dirty as fuck. Oh goodie. I've wanted to read it ever since I heard that one Police song.

Probably work on cleaning the room tomorrow. It needs it + my keys are AWOL/MIA/POW. Sleep now though. I neeed it. Shaved my sides today with clippers I found + can put hair in ponytail. Stoked!

Must see ily, man.

You Look Like Something I Want

Last night I decided to go for a late night skateboarding session through the sidewalks of Toronto when they would be empty enough not to kill people. Even though I really don't know how to skateboard. I've discovered that it really really is not as much like snowboarding as I thought it was. But what's the point of having a $200 custom built board if you can't use it? Anyway, I mostly glided my way downhill a little past Queen, pretending I was Stacy Peralta - the epic hair. Oh how I wish. Or maybe even Jay Adams. One of the Z-Boys. Although, I was probably most like Sid who was quite bad at skating.

I found a nice man who told me that unlike on a snowboard, with skateboarding, you put your foot in the middle of the board. Ahahaha, oh how little I know. I need to watch Lords of Dogtown again; I effing love that movie. Especially repeating "Are you guys lost or whaaaaaaat?" Five times after Heath Ledger says it in that crazy accent of Skip's.

Anyway, I totally ate it in this lovely parkinglot down the road. I'm very very glad I wore $25 Bullheads instead of $200 Nudies to go boarding because I trashed the right knee of those pants.

So anyway, I was walking back home when I saw this lovely smooth ramp on the Ryerson campus right near the Ram. I skated down it 3 times and the 3rd, I didn't quite get my left foot off the board so I ended up twisting my right knee and falling straight on it and into a pillar. I'm a tiny bit excited to finally have injured myself in some sport related way... Unlike the one time I sprained my ankle in 8th grade during English class while walking down the hallway.

Anyway, I got up under the impression that I was pretty okay, walked about 30 feet, and decided that holy fuck I was absolutely not okay. Annnywho. I walked home because I'm a toughie and got some ice, decided that really really wasn't gonna cut it and then headed to the ER just down the road.

I was there from 1 to 5 in the AM with some rather interesting characters. I got some xrays taken which is always interesting because I got to see my bones. They're prettier than yours are :P. Haha. Kidding. But they're very nice looking. Completely sublime. Its why I keep them hidden. If you saw them, you'd stare until I smacked you.

They sent me home on crutches. Oh fun times. Crutches are like this awful involuntary full upperbody work out including arms and abs that's almost worse than just walking since they bruise your arms and ribcage on both sides. Horrid, horrid things. I just walked home.

the crutches came in great handy this morning though since my knee was being megaevils. Probably because I had just woken up. Anyway, I took a shower and then headed to the ram for lunch since its way close.

Rob was working today which was awesome as we got to get caught up a little and such. The food there is amazing, by the way, so go if you get the chance. I went back home, took a nap, woke up, ate the rest of my thai tofu wrap, went back to sleep, and then now I'm awake again and about to go watch some epic Thursday night TV!

I'm so stoked its finally spring!
