I almost completely forgot about this! I haven't been around a computer for most of the summer, but even when I do get online I generally just check my e-mail and myspace. Oh, youtube too, but those are about it. I really haven't thought to look on here until about half an hour ago.

Soo.. Yea. I could recap everything that has happened since my last post (granted that isn't much) but I'm not going to. I'm tired. Sam was here last night, and we ended up staying up til 2, then she decided to be a freak and go to sleep. But by that point I was already pretty sugar-high so I ended up watching tv until 4:40-ish. Then I slept until 10:44, which worked out well, because by the time I got around to looking in the tv guide book and finding the channel number for ABC Family, Gilmore Girls was on!! I forgot that today was Monday, so I was all excited to watch a new Damages tonight. Then I realized I'm an idiot, and it's not on until tomorrow. Grr. Back to the point (I ramble when) I'm tired!

So, if you want to see what's been up with me, check my myspace. www.myspace.com/fayevalentinerules

I am going to go reply to my hero, and try to read as much fan fiction as I can before I fall asleep in this chair.

'Night.

Life is short, hate Tara King. <3 Ami

Gramma got a new computer!! So I can actually update this, instead of typing 4 long paragraphs and then having it crash. Hooray!

This weekend is going to be awesometacular!! Today Sam's coming over, and we're going to go see some random movie (Music and Lyrics? Because I Said So? The Number 23?) at like..7. Then we're going to see Reno 911! Miami with Jack at around 9. Not sure about the times yet. Anyways, tomorrow Jack is coming over at around noon, and the three of us are going to have a cult movie marathon/birthday party (my birthday's Sunday) and that will rock! My gramma wanted me to invite more people, but I figured me, and my 2 best friends would be more fun then me, best friends, and other people... We're going to watch Seed of Chucky, Snakes On A Plane, Donnie Darko, Bound, and Pulp Fiction. Maybe Night Of The Living Dead, Wonderfalls, and Invader Zim, too. And then Sunday it's my birthday!! And I'll be going home, and doing nothing. Yay. >.< That's really not much, but it's more than I've done in months, all put into a weekend.....

I'll write more if I get time later.

Hey! Just a little entry to tell everyone that I'm alive...I'm hanging out at Melissa's, trading music. Fun!! So..I got a cell phone and my archos for Christmas, and...I'm bored. I can't wait for Battlestar to come back. *sniff I miss it so much sniff* I must stop thinking about it, or the tears will come. And they will not stop. Or not until 1/21 at 10:00 pm. I'm staying at dad's that Sunday, and coming to school late on Monday, because mom can't stop me. I will watch Battlestar when it airs. At least the first episode. I WILL PREVAIL!!!!

[I I Were A Mood Icon, I'd Look Like This: | content]
[Music I Approve Of: |+44, The Pixies: The Holiday Song & Debaser]

Hey everybody! I know it's been a super long time since I've updated, but you'll have to forgive me-I've been away from unblocked internet access... :(

Well, things have been going pretty well. Today I came to my grandma's for the weekend, and we went out for dinner, and then went to the mall & Wal-Mart.

Normally, I hate Wal-Mart, but I found 2 Battlestar toys!! A little toy Galactica, and a toy Colonial One! They come with display stands!! I was soooo frakking happy!! I also found a copy of Augusten Burroughs' Running With Scissors, and since I can't see the movie (limited release) I'm going to read that. It's supposed to be really good. Oh, and my gramma bought me some scrapbook stuff. I'm not going to use stickers and colored paper and special scissors or anything, but I want a book to put pictures, and lyrics, and everything in.

At the mall, I got the new +44 cd (+44 is Blink-182 w/o dickhead Tom, and with 2 new dudes) which is really good, a copy of Pulp Fiction on dvd, and a used copy of Monster. Has anyone else seen Monster? Did it scare any of you, if you did see it? 'Cuz it scared me, and nobody else seemed to be freaked out by it....Something about homocidal psycho lesbian hookers... ^_^

So anyways, I made sure we got home in time to watch Battlestar today, and, as always, it was the greatest thing ever!! The only thing that bugs me, is Roslin and Adama need to...yea. Aside from that, it's the greatest thing I have ever seen! I literally just want to hug the tv.

Now I know what you're thinking. "Battlestar is her newest thing. So I'll have to listen to her talk about it for a few months, and then she'll be on to something else." Not true. This is different. For one thing, it is really truly 100% awesome, and casual watchers could agree. It's not so-bad-it's-good, or something that only a few people get. It is universally awesometacular. Also, I like it more than most things. Way more. I have actually gone past my usual level of nerdiness. I joined the CDF (Colonial Defense Forces, duh!) and I'm just....yea. So stop being so cynical, and start watching the show, because I guarantee you will love it! It may take you a couple of episodes to figure out who the characters are, but it's totally worth it!

Sooo. Yea, I've been pretty boring. Just doing my normal stuff, really. Dani-chan's coming home soon, so I'll get to see her on Wednesday!! So aside from that, nothing new has happened. I went on a field trip to the Buffalo Philharmonic today. Carissa and I got Mocha Cappucino Blast thingy's at Baskin Robbins, and then sang the "Oh Oh Oh" parts of Straight Up (yes the Paula Abdul song...It's on her iPod. Don't judge us!!!) on the bus ride home. Heh.

I've been listening to The Pixies lately. Uncle Steve gave me a couple albums,and I really love some songs! Debaser, The Holiday Song, Gouge Away, and Here Comes Your Man are my favorites. I haven't listened to all of the songs yet, but I'm working on it. I have an awesometacular cd from Uncle Steve with The Pixies, Dee Dee Ramone, and PJ Harvey on it!

I've been looking up video mp3 players, because I'm planning on buying myself one for Christmas. I may have to wait until my birthday, though, because I'll need $300 plus shipping, tax, etc. for the actual player, and I'll want a screen protecter, and case, etc. So that's prolly $350. Then I also need a dvd burner for my computer, so I can put dvd's on it, and convert them to watchable files...I may be able to manage with $300, b/c there's a 30 gig Zen Vision M (or was it W? I think it was M...The M & W are the 2 I'm going between...But I'll prolly get the smaller one..M, I think..) for $250. So I think for Christmas I'll get myself a dvd burner, and some Battlestar clothes. Then I'll save my $, and when my birthday rolls around, get myself a video mp3 player. I can always get a small mp3 player to "hold myself over" until my birthday...I dunno. Whatever.

So I guess I'm done updating for now.....I'll try and post again before I go home, but if I can't, it's because gramma's compy is sucking.... No Battlestar for 2 weeks. I'm trying to resist the urge to kill myself. :(

[I I Were A Mood Icon, I'd Look Like This: | amused]
[Music I Approve Of: |Lostprophets-Liberation Transmission, Weezer, Brand New]

Hey!  I found the bitchin icon I'm using on www.myspace.com/roslin4president!!  I sent a message asking if I could use it...(No response yet..shhh!)  But, yea, I'm officially in love with Battlestar Galactica!!!  It is the greatest show on tv!!!!  (The runner up is The Minor Accomplishments of Jackie Woodman on IFC)  Roslin is my favorite character, but I like Apollo, Adama, Starbuck...Pretty much every human except for Gaius.  I hope he dies.  At first I really didn't like Ellen (I just started watching the show this season) but I really felt bad when...yea.  I just saw the miniseries last night, and it was totally awesometacular!  If you're home on Friday nights (and why wouldn't you be?) you should watch Battlestar.  Sci Fi at 9.  

Gramma's computer is sucking today, so I can't listen to the song on www.myspace.com/roslin4president b/c it keeps buffering after about...5 seconds at most.  Grr. 

But aside from Battlestar, I got a new cd this weekend (Lostprophets' "Liberation Transmission") and some clothes, and floppy disks, so I'm taking a bunch of pics to dad's.  I got some awesome Galactica wallpapers.  Huzzah!  ^_^

So.  Yep.  I'm still alive, and fairly boring.  I just ordered some Battlestar merch from www.cafepress.com and....that's about it.  So.  I'll update next time I'm online, I guess.

Until then, fight the toasters!

[Music I Approve Of: |anything I've downloaded]

I've been downloading music on Mel-chan's compy 2 listen to, and I'm listening to "California" by Phantom Planet right now.  Catchy as hell, but kind of depresses me....More nostalgic/melancholy than depressing, I guess.... 

Well the game was fun.  We lost, but me and Mel sat with John and Vindictive (she came back from college!!) in the bleachers.  Plus at one point I prayed to Jennifer Tilly, then a few seconds later we got a touch down!!!!  Yea!  Josh got hurt though...That sucks.

My song! [Sep. 22nd, 2006|08:47 pm]
[I I Were A Mood Icon, I'd Look Like This: |accomplished]
[Music I Approve Of: |Another Day-The Twenty Twos]

Another Day-The Twenty Twos

If you have two eyes you’ll see what I see
Why don’t you move, you’ll walk right by me
Just another day in the neighborhood
I can do no harm
I can do no good

Just another day
Just another day
Just another day
Just another day

Now someone’s whispering in my ear
You better get out, you better stay clear

Just another day
Just another day
Just another day
Just another day

Chorus:
Waiting for the day to come where I don’t feel like getting higher
Waiting for the day to come where I don’t feel like I’ll be myself
Waiting for the day to come where you will be a bigger man
Waiting for the day to come

Now little girls they’re all the same
White eyes, bright lights and cocaine

Just another day
Just another day
Just another day
Just another day

Waiting for the day to come where I don’t feel like getting higher
Waiting for the day to come where I don’t feel like I’ll be myself
Waiting for the day to come where you will be a bigger man
Waiting for the day to come

Waiting for the day
Waiting for the day
Waiting for the day
Waiting for the day
Waiting for the day
Waiting for the day

This song, and "Let Down" by Bif Naked are totally my songs!!

[Music I Approve Of: |U2-Achtung Baby]

Hey!!  I found the Xena theme for the flute... Tis cool!!  And also very small...But w/e..


Yea.  So everything is going fine.  Life is pretty boring.  I'm staying at Melissa's right now.  We're going to the homecoming game tonight, and then the homecoming soccer game tomorrow.  Then dad's coming to get me at around 12:30, and I'll spend Saturday/Sunday catching up on Dark Angel, Xena, Lovespring International, Men In Trees, etc.  Tv is my friend! ^_^  The super awesometacular picture I used for my background earlier is gone now. >.<  But I think this one works, too.  I <3 Higurashi.  I'm not too far into it yet, but it kicks ass!!  La la laaaa!  We had a prep rally today.  And a homecoming bon fire yesterday.  Matt and I were going around asking ppl if they were pirates or ninjas.  (Pirates rock!!)  Mrs. Brennan, Mr. Schunke, and Miss Newark all said pirates!!  Hell yea! ^_^ 

Aside from that, the only other thing that has happened is completely horrible.  Jack is in the hospital.  Last Friday he broke his leg playing football.  He broke it so badly that the bone was sticking out, and when it cut through him, he cut an artery.  They moved him to ECMC last night, because every time they try and fix him, he just keeps bleeding.  I'm not sure what to do.  I'm just trying to....not freak out.  That's really all I can do, because he's farther away now.

So.  Yup.

On a lighter note, you seriously have got to check this out!!  Motherfuckin snakes!! http://samfnjackson.livejournal.com/5429.html

You Looking For The Sun Boy? The Sun Doesn't Shine Around Here [Sep. 8th, 2006|08:17 pm]
[I I Were A Mood Icon, I'd Look Like This: | apathetic]
[Music I Approve Of: |PJ Harvey, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Arcade Fire]

Hey!

So school started on Thursday (Sam had to go back Wednesday-HA HA!) and so far it seems like this will be a good year. AP English seems to be going well, my Math teacher seems to actually teach, and my Chem teacher is really cool! Plus I'm going to take the Latin regents so I can get my Advanced Regents Diploma, and that means I CAN DROP BA/BCA!!! (FYI: BA/BCA is a stupid business class I don't want to take, but had to in place of Spanish III to get my ADV. diploma) So I'm going to change my schedule so instead of having Government/Economics 1st period with Mr. Palmatier, I'll have it 7th period with (my favorite teacher) Mrs. Brennan! Plus I'll have a whole period of study hall EVERY MORNING!! Yay! ^_^ All of my Latin will be independent study, though, so I'm going to be staying after school a lot... I'm ok with that, because I really like Latin. It's the bitchenest (2nd) language ever!! The only thing that I don't like about my schedule is that 9th period English, because my class has a bunch of dicks in it, so Mr. Bennett (who I like) is going to be pissed off a lot.

And aside from my classes, the school has blocked literally ever website I used to go to, except for wikipedia. So I won't be able to update this unless I go to gramma's, or the library after school.. But I'm going to be busy this year anyways, so I'm not too concerned about the computer-nazis. I will not give them the satisfaction of knowing that they bothered me. (You hear me, bitches? I'm not affected at all!! *apathetic face*) On the plus side, I'll be able to go on Wiki and learn all about random anime! Ooh, and imdb isn't blocked, either. So new movie info, and random stuff is still available.

My Aunt Rachael was supposed to come home this weekend, so I made plans to come to my grammas. She said if Rachael wasn't going to come, she would call my dad, and tell him. That way I could stay home. So I get here, all excited, and she says "Oh, I don't know when Rachael's coming, but probably Monday." What the frak!?! Now maybe it's just me, but I thought the agreement was if Rachael wasn't coming, I could stay home. We have a home game going on RIGHT NOW that I could be at. Maybe Jack is playing! For all I know Jack is doing something frakking amazing right now, and I'm missing it for absolutely no reason! And then she asked for my mom's address (for those of you who don't know my gramma is my mom's foster mom, and my mom refuses to talk to or see her. Yet my gramma still sends cards and packages to my mom, all of which are burned/thrown away unopened) and got all pissy when I wouldn't tell her. I'm on mom's side of this. If she doesn't want to see Gramma, then she just needs to deal. But instead gramma just stalks my mom. Now normally "stalk" would be an exaggeration (I'm prone to them, you know) but as I was walking away I distinctly heard "I'll just drive by the house and get the address then." How frakking insane is that? My mom thinks it's funny. She always laughs when I tell her how gramma thinks one day they'll talk again. The best part is that she keeps wasting money on packages that are never opened, and completely unappreciated! The kids don't even see the cards she sends them on their bithdays... I love gramma, but I just don't understand her.

So now I'm not going to be able to see Rachael at all. I'm going to stay home next weekend, and hopefully find someone to hang out with on Jennifer Tilly's birthday. Gramma told me that Rachael will probably leave Saturday, so I could come out Friday afternoon and spend the weekend. Yea, like the whole 5 hours is worth it. I've got plans, and I can't just kill all of my time here. On Jennifer Tilly's birthday I will be doing something fun with...I don't know yet, but the point is I'm not going to come, see Rachael, and then have her leave the next day. It makes more sense not to see her at all, because then I'll just miss her. I won't have to say hi, and then turn around and get all upset when she leaves the next morning. I want to see her, but not for half a day. Maybe next year, I guess...

Aside from all of the current events, a couple things happened over the last part of the summer. I got the last two seasons of Xena that I needed (4&5) so now I own the entire show. Oddly enough, it took me exactly 3 months (to the day) to get all 6 seasons... I went to a Gin Blossoms concert at UB, too. That was pretty cool. And I had an anime day with my cousin Dillon. We watched Black Lagoon, Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni, Pani Poni Dash, and the Pretty Sammy OVA's, all of which were great! I also saw some Ergo Proxy. It was cool, but pretty slow...borderline boring, actually. The cool parts were really cool, and the characters seemed interesting, but it just dragged. My favorites were Black Lagoon, and Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni, which is really creepy! Black Lagoon is funny, and action-y, so my usual genre. This one woman (her name escapes me) is (as Dillon says) "a human Ryoko." Gotta love that!! There was a great quote "You've got to enjoy life, or you'll just end up wasting it." I like that. Possibly Sr. quote material, but I'd like to use something from Gabrielle....We'll see, I guess...

I think Sam blew me off (again) because I talked to her yesterday, and she wanted to come over, but had to talk to her mom. She wanted to meet Rachael, and of course I thought Rachael would be here. So I told her I'd call her today, and I called...at least 6 times (not all within 5 minutes of each other) and she didn't pick up. And she's not here. So I guess she found something else to do. It would be nice if she'd tell me, but...that's Sam. I guess there's always a chance she'll just show up, but I doubt it.

Ummm. Well that's everything I could think of to talk about right now, so I'll stop rambling. Comment if you read this!!

Oh yea!! Has anyone else heard of The Arcade Fire? Does anyone have any Arcade Fire albums?? I need some, but I have very little money, and I'm saving up for:
A) Dark Angel on dvd
B) Snakes On A Plane album
C) The Xena fan club kit thingy-bob, which is $66.45
So yea. If you have anything, let me know!! (I'll love you forever!)

I hate everything.  I didn't get to see Snakes On A Plane because my grandfather decided to take off and didn't come back until it had already started.  Plus I'm losing my e-bay bid.  And I have a bad feeling Sam won't come over tomorrow.  So to recap: everything I've been looking forward to isn't going to happen.  I want to break something but I can't because I have nothing here to break.  It's funny, I woke up in a good mood today.  Heh.  I've noticed every time I wake up happy my day just goes downhill fast.  Plus, the computer won't let me download any I.M.'s so I can't talk to anyone.  I hate everything.

[I I Were A Mood Icon, I'd Look Like This: | exhausted]
[Music I Approve Of: |Jack Off Jill-Strawberry Gashes, Taking Back Sunday]

Hello loyal readers.

^_^

I'm in a pretty ok mood right now...I half-assedly revamped my lj...Nothing big, just updates to the links list, a new userpic, a new comment pic (I really liked the old one, but the new one is cool, too...), and the background.  Any thoughts on the background?  I'm not quite sure if I like it or not...So obviously, I need one of you to tell me if I like it. ^_^  Only one day left until (MOTHERFUCKIN') SNAKES ON A (MOTHERFUCKIN') PLANE!!!!  I'm going with Sam and Jack, and I'm super excited!  Hooray! ^_^  I changed my myspace, too...It's got a premade Resident Evil theme...Pretty cool.  I am fucking tired!!  In fact, I don't know why I'm even online right now, because...I'm fucking tired!  I got a cool new backpack, and a t-shirt!!  Plus, I'm bidding on something on e-bay.  I'm not going to mention what it is, because the last time I did that it jinxed it, so..suffice it to say it's cool.  I've been listening to Taking Back Sunday lately..and this awesometacular mix Danielle made me.  I love "Building A Mystery" but my favorite song is definately "Strawberry Gashes" by Jack Off Jill.  I really want to buy more J.O.J now!  (FYI: I put the site on my new and improved links list.)  "Best friends means I'll pull the trigger, best friends means you'll get what you deserve" Damn right Taking-Back-Sunday-dude-who's-name-I-can't-remember!!  T.B.S is super catchy!!!  I just bought the not-so-recent re-release of Tell All Your Friends...Oh, Mel-chan, you know what you should do?? Download Good Fortune (since you like it too..High five for taste man, HELL YEA!! You rock!!) and then make me a cd!! ^_^  That'd be cool, but I found a copy of Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea (the album) on amazon for like...3.95 or some shit like that!  Hell yes!  I may buy it, but only if I don't spend my whole $17 (I'm rich lol!) on my e-bay auction...We'll see.  But I have 3 PJ Harvey albums on a mp3 cd, so when I bring my Xena dvd's over to watch I'll bring that and you can copy them..I have Dry, Uh Huh Her, and Rid Of Me, for reference purposes...I also have a PJ Harvey concert dvd...So..yup. God I'm tired!!  Well I'm gunna get going, but make sure you comment, so I can see the comment picture!!  Hey Mel, did you watch Dark Angel??  Mondays, Sci-Fi, 7-11 pm...Check it out if you get some free time...

<3 Ami

Note to Dani-chan: I totally saw that Bravo show about that trainer woman..It was...different.  The season finale is this week, so I'm dvr'n it, b/c...from what I saw all hell breaks loose!  HOORAY FOR DRAMA!!! ^_^  Just felt I needed to share...
