Ob La Di Ob La Da

So, I went to go vote today and I was once again reminded that my old school was nothing more than a steaming pile of fly infested cow shit. I registered to vote at my college about four months ago and I guess they just threw it out or rolled it up to smoke weed or something... Anyway, I was not registered when I went today, but oh don't worry, I will be able to vote in the presidential election! Right now is a good time to stop before I go on a political rampage. Just do me a favor, educate yourself, and don't look at things from one perspective, it's not good to only know one side of the argument.

As for my normal not raging politic obsessed life goes:
-I'm still madly, hopelessly, in love with the boy and right now we are considering going to India for a couple of months in fall or winter this year. I could talk forever about how much a love him and want to spend every second with him, but I don't want to bore anyone.

-My mum is hooking up with her contacts to get me a job in a restaurant, culinary school, here I come!

-I have a few friends who are potential candidates for roommates so that is very promising to get the fuck out of this crazy house.

< Oh, and I've decided to learn to play guitar.

Interesting Fact for the Day:
I'll give you this one since it applies to me. In 2006 it was shown that more than 200 million blogs were left not updated.

Another sketch, pretty much anything I draw will be loaded on lj. I drew Harry and Ginny together. There's no shading and Ginny looks like a crazed maniac, but Harry has a very sweet expression. This picture would've been pretty if that damn girl wasn't in it. I got so accustomed to drawing boys again that I'm a bit out of practice at drawing anime girls. Realism, sure, but big eye cuteness, I got no clue. Sorry for the crappy quality, my scanner is all the way downstairs and I don't feel like going there right now. So photo it is.



This couple still seems wrong to me, even if it is cannon.

Interesting fact for the day:

Harriet Tubman carried a shotgun with her when taking slaves to freedom. She did this not to shoot bounty hunters, which there were plenty of, but to shoot anyone that wanted to go back. She wasn't going to fuck around.

Song lyrics for the day:

I fear that I am ordinary, just like everyone
to lie here and die among the sorrows
adrift among the days
for everything I ever said
and everything I've ever done is gone and dead
as all things must surely have to end
and great loves will one day have to part
I know that I am meant for this world

Muzzle

I drew something in full length for the first time in probably two years and it's head is too big. Such is the cruel world of drawing. Besides her ankles being the same size as her wrist, she's pretty cute.

I may even colour her! Wow, lets see if that happens.


Interesting Fact for the Day:

Dubai, the fastest growing city in the world, is creating new man made islands. The current projects are in the shape of a crescent moon and a palm tree. They hope to create many of these quirky islands for tourists and residents to obtain homes on.

Lyrics of the Day:

morphine city slippin dues down to see
that we don't even care as restless as we are
we feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts
and poured cement, lamented and assured
to the lights and towns below

Oh yeah!!




Give me give me!! I just got back from a British bike rally and I fell in love. This beautiful Triton zipped past me and I had to hunt it down to get it's picture. A Triton for those of you who don't know and probably don't care is a bike with a Triumph engine and a Norton frame. The rally was fun, usually it consist of hanging out with old British men who talk of their crazy days of bike riding. Although, my father had a story from just last year.
He was participating in a rally event, so he hopped on his 1975 Norton Commando and went to the top of the mountain where the event would be taking place. By the time he got up there he realized that carburetors were acting a little screwy. He figured out that the bike would run only if the gas was on all the way. So instead of waiting for some one to appear with a trailer he decided to go down the mountain at full speed relying only on the break to get him past the curves. I don't know how to tell you how terrifying that is. If it were a Triumph, okay, a Japanese bike, sure, but a fucking Norton?! You have to wrestle those suckers into curves. They're not as bad as Harleys, but still scary. My dad's done some pretty crazy riding in his life, including driving his 1965 Bonneville Triumph with out a clutch, twice. It just shows that driving like a maniac can run in the family, just a warning.

Interesting fact for the day:

A blue whale's tongue weighs more than an elephant. That's utterly useless information, but I'm tired.

Lyrics of the day:

Used to be the one of the rotten ones
And I liked you for that
Now you're all gone, got your make-up on
And you're not coming back

Bleachin' your teeth, smiling flash
Talking trash, under my window

Park that car
Drop that phone
Sleep on the floor
Dream about me

Used to be the one of the rotten ones
And I liked you for that
Now you're all gone, got your make-up on
And you're not coming back

Anthems For A Seventeen Year-Old Girl
By: Broken Social Scene

Well, I'm sooooo losing HOPE, and that means I get no help from my parents what so ever for college. I know, they're real winners aren't they? They have the ability to pay, they just choose not to. From the beginning I've known to never accept any of their help and move on with my own plans. Over the summer I'm taking a math class and then starting in the fall I'm going to school part time and working full time. I'll pay back any money I owe my parents, because I want absolutely nothing for them to talk to me about. I'm just going to figure out what I can afforded as far as an apartment. Staying at home would be cheaper, but my mother and I have butted heads before and that would be her doing me a favour. I guess I'll start groveling at my friends' feet and asking them to room with me.

All in all I've had a pretty good semester. My socio professor is a fucking cunt and won't pass me, because I turned in a paper late. (hints losing HOPE) I should get a B in one class and a couple of A's in my other classes. I'm TOTALLY going to be a useless Political Science Major and there ain't nothin' you can do about it! That is all, go about your usual business now.

Interesting fact for the Day:
The word Holocaust is actually a rather rude way to refer to the mass genocide of the Jews in WWII. The actually meaning of the word is "burnt offering." Just a little offensive, but who cares? The world is ruled by the politically incorrect white man.

Lyrics of the Day:
Well some say life will beat you down
Break your heart, steal your crown
So I've started out, for God knows where
I guess I'll know when I get there

I'm learning to fly, around the clouds,
But what goes up must come down

I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing

Learning To Fly
By: Tom Petty

I don't have much to say about me. My boyfriend's birthday is coming up, so I have to plan a party, buy his present, and bake a cheesecake. I'm also working on final stuff for school. I'm finding that I hate sociology, political science is by far the best class, and my drawing class keeps me some what entertained.

Interesting Fact for the Day:
Congress used to stay in Washington D.C. for only half the year. Now they stay almost all year long. What brought about this change? The invention of air conditioning. D.C. was built on a swamp and during the summer it was unbearable. Now Congress can gather in their nice cool buildings and listen to lobbyists.

Lyrics for the day:
Please excuse me but I got to ask,
are you only being nice,
because you want something.

The Eraser
By: Thom Yorke

I have to come up with an idea for my final art project. I'm thinking "This is how you make me feel." Portraying the people in my life through what I draw when I think of them. I don't know, something sorta whatever.
My boy plans to go and teach English in a foreign country in a year. It's heart breaking, but I can't stop him from doing something that will make him happy. He wants me to look into studying over seas.


Interesting Fact for the Day:

When the Civil Rights Acts were passed and ended segregation in the United States school system there was one state that pretty much said, "Government, you can keep your damn money! We'd rather die than let those people into our white schools!" Do you know what state that was? Not Mississippi, not Alabama, not Georgia, it was the aristocratic state of Virginia. They couldn't keep it up more than a year.

Lyrics for the Day:

Their custom concern for the people
Build up the monuments and steeples
To wear out our eyes
I get up just about noon
My head sends a message for me
to reach for my shoes then walk
Gotta go to work, gotta go to work, gotta get a job
Goes through the parking lot fields
Doesn't see no signs that they will yield
And then thought, this'll never end
This'll never end, this'll never stop
Message read on the bathroom wall
Says, "I don't feel at all like I fall."
And we're losing all touch, losing all touch
Building a desert

"Custom Concern"

Sometimes you wish for a day to never end. Every moment of it you want to remember. That's so nice.

Interesting Fact for the Day:
Movable black holes. Nifty ne?

Song Lyric for the Day:
One Day I know,
We will find a place of hope.

It's By: PJ Harvey

What are you up to for spring break? I might shove the boy in my car and head to the beach. Who knows? I might have to hastle some friends into coming so that he has a playmate. I'm just gonna read and get tan, I'd be there for a purpose and that's to get pretty again! So he could very easily get bored or try to force me into the water and mess up my tanning schedule. I'm still trying to decide what I want to do.

Interesting Fact for the Day: The new non-lethal weapon of course! I know, everyone's already heard of it, but a laser that makes you feel like you're on fire and causes no actual damage to you needs serious pimpage.

Lyrics of the Day:
Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed her face and kissed her head
And dreamed of all the different ways I had
To make her glow
"Why are you so far away?" she said
"Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you?
That I'm in love with you?"

Interesting Fact:

By: The Rolling Stones

New Flaming Lips album kicks arse, but that's old news. The Flaming Lips are coming to Atlanta, the problem is that it's 21 and over. I think I'll try a few things to get in. (Sleep with a few event coordinators?)I'd be so sad if I missed them. A newer band I'm a big fan of is Nightmare of You. Their name sounds emo, but they're not. A very cute synth band is more like it.

Interesting Fact for the Day:
Did you know artificial intelligence does exist. The catch is that the intelligence created is fairly simple or on the verge of average. People who create this intelligence still think they're a long ways off, but that's because they are so smart. To an average person what they created can sometimes have the same abilities as themselves.

Song Lyrics for the Day:
I like songs about drifters ,
books about the same,
they both make me feel a little less insane.
- Modest Mouse (I'm not a 100% sure about the lyrics on this one, oh well close enough.)

My teacher's holding me for ransom. I give him my cd's to copy and he grades a quiz I took recently that's two months old. I should learn to do things on time.

Interesting fact for the day:
The first song ever to be recorded is "Mary Had a Little Lamb". Okay, almost everyone knows that.

Song Lyrics for the Day:
No Phone, No Phone,
I just want to be alone today.

Don't make those spirits angry my dear.
When they hit they hit hard.
Everything comes crashing down. - my lyrics, stupid aren't they?

I think I may be bipolar...blame it on the Tetons

God, this is perfect for procrastination.

*sigh* I wish a cared about anyone else but myself. Of course I wouldn't have a livejournal account if I did. Blah blah blah me, blah blah blah friends, blah blah blah my boring life.

Interesting Fact for the Day:
A new building material. It's cool, I swear!! Translucent Cement. Isn't that nifty?

Song Lyrics for the day:
As life gets longer all will feel softer,
well it feels pretty soft to me
and if it takes shit to make bliss
then I feel pretty blissfully
- Modest Mouse

Okay, no more hating people. I came across too many really funny facts about one of my friends to be hating right now. I know this girl who is REALLY pretty and she's dating a guy that's not interesting, isn't good looking, can't hold a decent conversation, and is frankly a loser. So I was trying to figure out why this pretty, but stupid, girl was dating this guy. I found out today from a another friend that he spoils her rotten. The loser dating girl told me last time we talked about her boyfriend that, "There's more to a relationship than conversation and looks." At the time I thought she was full of shit. But hey, if a guy gave me an ipod nano and a 50 dollar gift certificate to one of my favourite stores after just a week of dating, I'd probably want to date the him too! Who cares if all of my friends don't like him and find him creepy!

Some one remind me, I NEED to call Meagan.(seriously, I don't want to forget!)

Interesting fact for the day:

The American Dream is rarely supported and is usually criticized for being unrealistic. There are few authors who wrote proudly about the wonderful American Dream. One of these writers was Horatio Alger. The writer often wrote books for teenage boys about young men who would accomplish the american dream easily with determination and courage and hard work. Bull shit right? Yeah, Mark Twain thought so too. Alger does have a strong following though. There are two Alger societies dedicated to the American Dream blah blah blah. The ironic thing is that although Alger wrote books for young boys he was actually fired and kicked of a church for molesting two teenage boys while he was working there. The New York chapter of NAMBLA (The North American Man-Boy Love Association) named themselves after him. For being a pioneer in man-boy love. I wonder if the "great Americans" in the American dream associations know this fact?

Song quote of the day:

Drug dealin' just get by
Stack your money 'till it gets sky high
We wasn't supposed to make it past 25
jokes on you we're still alive
Throw your hands up in the sky
We don't care what people say
- Kanye West

(I've been listening to this song WAY too much recently)

It being the end of the semester most of my friends have decided to sober up and start working on school. They're absolute bitches. But hey, they're going cold turkey for the next three weeks. I just hope they don't kill some preppy white kid out of anger.

I just started to redraw an older picture of mine. I'm about half way done. Now I need to draw the other girl and then colour it.
