Hey guys! I fell asleep in a heartbeat last night, so I didn't get much of a chance to make a post. Well, actually, I didn't fall asleep that quick, but the Lord of the Rings made me tired.

So apparently I do have friends in my age group who like what I like, I just wasn't listening... Ah, well, at least I know now. So that's good...

My friend and I are starting a Twilight Podcast, and - being a twilaholic - has started advertising. I'm not quite sure what she expects, because we're just a bunch of kids doing a show, surely it can't get far. Not to mention, I'm still learning html a bit more in depth so I can make to page look better, and right now, I don't want too many people to see it.

I've been spending a lot of time on youtube for these past two days and I feel compelled to recommend some stuff. Obviously I've been watching the clips about the twilight movie (there are tons). I also have been watching videos from the account 'nigahiga'. Of theirs I reccomend the how to be _____ series (order: ninja, gangster, emo, nerd), the number 21 (or something along those lines), mindgeek (really stupid and funny)... Actually now that I think of it, I recommend everything (except a few of the lip syncs).

You guys get a double song today, since I didn't do it yesterday. Plus I'm rereading 'Just Listen' by Sarah Dessen, and Owen's take/obsession on music makes you a bit obsessed yourself.

Today's first song is another by Death Cab for Cutie 'Soul Meets Body'. My favorite part has to be the short instrumental at the begining. This song I like way more for the sound than the actual lyrics.

My second song for today is also a repeat band. We welcome back Paramore, this time with 'That's what you get'. I first (and only) found it on youtube, the video is awesome (which reminds me, I forget to mention fueledbyramen earlier), and I love the lyrics and sound. I definitely need to get this CD, which also reminds me that I'm almost out of space on my ipod :( I listen to too much music now.

With nothing much else to say,

Release

I am a bit frustrated right now. To fix it I'm listening to some of my more 'hardcore' songs, and my foot is shaking violently. I'm trying to come up with better solutions, as I feel a bit nauseous (perhaps it was the pizza I ate?), and shaking your foot tends to jitter the stomach more.

Ugh...

My dad's going to put our ps2 on craig's list, NOT in the garage. Our old T.V. goes to my parent's room, not the garage. (Hopefully their old one can go in the garage). I really just want to be able to play DDR, but the way this is going, I don't expect it to have a chance of happening...

I seriously wonder how serious my dad was when he offered to get a drum set... The death of the 360 makes me miss the rock band, creating a want for the ability to play the real instruments. Plus (even if it is 8:30) I would love to go destroy a drum set (or um, play)...

I'm going to the beach tomorrow. My friend is coming with me, and I haven't gone to the beach with a friend in a long time. So that should definitely be fun...

I don't feel like a song today.

Laters,

Oceansurferg

PS: I've noticed that the time-stamp on the blog is wrong. I'll fix it a bit later, but for now just know that it's three hours behind.

I've had the song crushcrushcrush by paramore stuck in my head, so I looked up other songs by them on SkreemR. Let me just say that so far I think they're AWESOME. I don't think I've ever found alternative with a woman singing that I liked. But this is different. It sounds good, so I'm totally into it.

Okay, so, I just left this post for an hour and a half. My phone call didn't come. I'm dieing to play some DDR (let's hope the new tv, comes soon so we can put the old one in the garage for me to use). My dad has confirmed the death of our 360. Life continues. Meanwhile, a tired girl writes out a blog post when she would prefer to be dreaming... I always love dreams...

You'd never have guessed what today's song is. In an effort to get it out of my head crushcrushcrush by paramore gets the headline of song number 9 (I think).

As I've already said, I'm deathly tired, and want to just plop to sleep, so I'm going to do so.

A random Wednesday, how else?

I understand that it's a bit absurd, but I never realized that D.C. has a mayor. I now realize how silly that is, but I just didn't think it possible. Or at the very least I believed the mayor of D.C. would simply be the president. I'm just shocked that isn't the case.

I'm reading Anne Frank's Diary. Barely anywhere yet (page 55), but, as an internet addict, is it really possible for me to leave the computer for over an hour when I'm home and not sleeping? The diary is also screwing up how I write. I'm also Mrs. Quack Quack on yahoo, and msn messengers. And yesterday's post, we were reading a play based on the book and had to do songs, hence 'Mrs. Vaan Dan (I found out I spelled her name wrong)

Daddy (as I've now taken to calling him) is coming home a day early. It makes me very happy, especially since I believe it means that pizza and the tri-tip are pushed up on our dinner calender, and I love pizza and steaks (but not ribs, nobody understands why not...).

I'm feeling about ready to murder a friend. We like to jabber on the phone a lot (especially since we found out we both have t-mobile). Anyways, whenever she's called me, she's joked saying that she's called someone that I'd rather she not. This sent me into hyperventilation the first time, but now I just yell really loudly (it is a phone). But there's so much to this story that cannot be said, so I will just say that this is actually a larger act than this paragraph entails. Hmm... Maybe I do sound like a text book...

My 360 has a red ring when I try to turn it on, I can only believe that this is a sign of its death.

And now for the song of the day. I'm so sorry that I keep forgetting to put the songs into the side bar, but I am a procrastinator. Yes, I know that's not an excuse, but it's an explanation! Anyways, what is today's song... Sorry, I've got to go look for one... Here we go! Crazy English Summer by Faithless. I'm surprised I haven't done this one yet. Used to listen to it a lot (until someone's youtube video ruined it for me).

Not much else to say today.

Toodles! (wow, makes it seem like I've gotten an email from a certain friend...)

Oceansurferg

PS: I'm not going through and changing the colors of the black and white ones. I want my stupidity to be completely recorded! And you already know I'm weird.

Oceansurferg can't blog!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Hey guys!

I have quite a lot going on in my life, that is, unfortunately, not bloggable. All of these stories I have are super personal, and if somehow, certain people managed to get here and knew it was me, I would not be happy.

But, since I can't do these stories, today is just a song day.

Song #7[(?), I've lost track] is, as I said yesterday, really funny if you know the inside joke. One name Mrs. Van Dann. With that in mind please enjoy 'Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous' by Good Charlotte. Below isn't the real video, but it has good sound quality, and it's kind of cool.

That's it

Oceansurferg

PS: I found the colors! I was stuck in edit HTML instead of compose.

T.V. Am I watching weird stuff?

Yes, that is the question. Seriously, maybe it's just my age group, but how come my friends aren't into 'My Name is Earl', 'How I met your mother', 'Two and a half men', '30 Rock', 'Big Bang Theory', 'House', 'Bones', and all that good stuff? This dilemma came to me when I was watching 'Bones', and 'Big Bang Theory' tonight (I didn't get to 'how I met your mother', and 'two and a half men'). I mean, am I seriously that out of the loop? I need to know when in the world this happened!

What's more, why don't my friends like the same music I do, at all, period. Well, I mean, we share some choice in music. How can one not share a small amount of music taste with me? The girl who has a little bit of everything. But nobody's into indie, or alternative, or British pop. I mean come on! What's a girl got to do to find people with her same entertainment interests. I fear that to find a person like that, I'd have to make friends with a guy. Been down that path, not interested.

You see my friends are into 'American Idol', the latest pop, and the friends in IL are into Disney, of all things. I mean, Miley and Zack and Cody are cute and all, but they're just annoying after about five minutes, yeah? Have these people ever heard of Teenick or, well, I forget what the channel's called, but, they're the one that used to share with noggin, and have Digrassi [(sp?), I don't really watch the show]. Well, anyways those are my kind of channels (can't forget Fox and CBS, but I meant for kiddie stuff).

Dang, now that's made me think of Nick at Nite and you do not want me to go into a tangent about that. But I will anyways. They used to have such good shows on that. I loved watching Rosanne, The Fresh Prince of Belaire (sp?), sometimes Full House, and when I was desperate, The Cosby Show. But they've replaced almost all my faves (not sure about fresh prince and Cosby Show, but if they are, they're on way too late). And guess what one of the shows they replaced it with is. Home Improvement. Ugh.

Wow, I sound like I'm my parent's age.

Sidebar: Does anyone know how long it's going to take for 'that 70s show' to end up on nick at nite, if ever?

Okay onto the good stuff. Here's your song of the day. 'Yellow', by Coldplay. It's in the CD Parachutes at the least. I absolutely love this song. I'm a cheese at heart... But I have this perfect image of a beautiful beach, (I think I'm thinking of one of the ones from the movie 'the beach', but I can't be sure), and it's always dark out with a starry field. I think part of the reason I imagine this is because I used to bring my ipod with me when I walked the dog. She always needs to go when it's dark out, and here the sky is so clear. God, in my head that sounded like I was gushing (after the comma not before, gushing in the before part seems odd, yeah?).

My homework is to choose music (sweet!), and I've decided that some of these songs deserve recognition. Trust me, if you know the context, song #6(7?), will be a laughathon (I made a word!). And if not, it's still a good song that deserves to be noticed.

Off to charge my ipod (don't think I've charged it in months),

Sunday, a day of rest.

Today's been a very nice day, here's why.

1) My day began with cheese cake and T.V. I used to have mornings with desert for breakfast with mindless T.V. a lot, so that was kind of nice.

2) I woke up with out an alarm at eight in the morning. I know that it's bonkers for me to say that's a good thing, but I like waking up early by myself. It makes me feel like I'm internally organized.

3) I had a mindless hour and a half phone conversation. I barely even payed attention to her, eating my lunch/desert (cheese cake again), making comments every once in a while. I like hearing my friends, it's soothing, even the ones that I tell them their voice is annoying on the phone, it's still soothing. Plus I didn't have to worry about minutes

4) I read today. A lot. Like, I basically woke up, went downstairs for a half hour, came back up to my room and read (eventually going into my parents' room - they have the best bed ever), the only interlude was dinner and the phone call.

5) Nobody in the house started going parent on me, reminding me to take a shower or brush my teeth. I utilized the opportunity by skipping the shower. For some reason, I think I end up dirtier than I began in the first place.

6) No homework. That's always the best, because it means you can just be lazy on a Sunday, not giving a care in the world.

7) I sang to Sara Bareilles for about an hour and a half without my mouth going dry, or throat getting clogged, or said throat hurting.

7) I had a good hair day, which is a rarity in itself as about 95% of the time my hair's hopeless. What's better is that usually on good hair days I take a shower, but I didn't today (see #5).

All in all, an absolutely great Sunday. It almost felt like I was having a lazy day in Illinois before the move. I'm definitely getting more comfortable here in the land of rainbows (seriously! I see about three a day).

I've made a re-aquantince (sp?) with one of my old friends from the begining of eighth grade. We used to hang out a lot more, but I was in my transition mode, and her friends freaked me out (they are a bunch of guys). But we've been reconnected over our love of books, and have hung out this weekend and the last.

Oh and speaking of yesterday, I went to see Nim's Island. Let me just say that it's a really funny movie. Especially when you have someone to point out 'that's what she said' esque jokes. I'll admit that I did contribute.

At the mall where I saw Nim's I also got a book. Even though I read it real quick I would definitely recommend 'Someone Like You'.

I did a little sudoku today as well, my record is ten minutes (I tend to loose focus. A lot).

And for the Finally here is your song of the day. Song #6 (I think) is Vegas by Sara Bareilles. It's been stuck in my head all day - no wait, since one in the morning (which I count as last night AKA yesterday). My fave part of the song has to be when the chorus comes round, it's really catchy. I also chose this song because I'm in a semi-jazzy mood. Yup, I'm weird. I also apparently can't spell 'because on a computer as one of my hands moves faster than the other when I type that word. (That wasn't random, I'd just misspelled 'because' for a third time).

To hoping you had as great a day as me!

Oceansurferg

PS: One of the Fanfics that I was (and am, I'm not finished yet) is 'Epitaph of a good man' by toomanycurls on HPFF (see side bar) I totally recommend the Tonks/Lupin fic.

Ugh! And so the Frustration Begins...

Okey dokey my friend type peoples. I haven't posted in near a week. I swear it's not my fault! Okay... So maybe it is, but so what? Anyways here's why I haven't posted.


1) I forgot my login name.

- I hadn't logged in for forever, and mom logged in, completely screwing me up. But the basicness is that I didn't realize that I didn't need '@gmail.com'. I kept putting that in, and it kept rejecting me.

2) A friend stayed over last weekend.

-I had a friend come over, and the day she left I went to write an entry but got distracted.

3) The first day I was simply frustrated with my lack of color, and decided I didn't want to write in black in white.

- Seriously! Who took away my color? Ugh!


Anyways guys - if there actually are any of you - I'm explicitly sorry for any disappointments I may or may not have caused. Especially since I promised you a song.

But I'm going to make it up to you all by giving you something very special! *Begins Game Show Voice* Today I'm giving you two songs, but that's not all! The winner *Frowns when told this isn't a game show*, I mean you also get a preview of my fiction press story. It currently has two entries from Sadie, but, since I'm already at the eight or ninth, I'm giving you a two paragraph preview from the next entry.

Oh, and I've come up with a better name for her friend, I just haven't changed it yet, not even on my computer.

The first song I give you is 'Drive' by Incubus. I chose it because I used to hear this song a lot when I was little. And well, I've realized that I still like my favorite songs from five and six. Maybe it's happy memories?

Oh and this reminds me. Dad got this absolutely ridiculous laptop. It's tiny. And has almost no memory. I want to know what in the world he plans to do with that tiny thing. He might not even know himself...

So here's your preview from my story. Enjoy guys! You deserve it.

During Algebra II yesterday, Mr. Weston became the first teacher to crack in regards to me. He asked me a question, and I showed him my spiral as an answer. He told me that if I didn’t speak it would be detention. I didn’t speak, and got detention yesterday.

Detention wasn’t something new. Miss Hamilton from seventh grade would give me one weekly (I only had her weekly) for not talking. I will agree that drama does involve speaking, but why can’t I just get the part of a mime or something? Or an extra, that would have worked really well with me.

Hope you liked that.

Now for the second song of today. 'Absolutely (Story of a Girl)' by Nine Days. This song is the one that I remember explicitly. I have no clue why I remember this one the second most (most to come later) from my Iceland days, but I don't care, I think that it's a sweet song.

Now, even though it's Friday, I have work I need to get done (because somebody forgot to come to the library to work on a project with me and now we're screwed).

Have a fantabulously bizarre weekend,

Oceansurferg

Hungry

Okay, umm, starting to get really jacked off at whoever this person is who took away my colors.

Hello, my name is Oceansurferg, and I'm hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry.

Surely you get the point, yes? Well, I don't care. I'm soooooooooo hungry. We have nothing in the fridge whatsoever. All there is, is lunch meat, cheese, and beverages that the system won't let me have. See, I wasn't lieing about there being nothing in the fridge. There's nothing good in the pantry. I tried the soup in a can, chicken noodle one. Disgusting, utterly disgusting. Seriously, as of right now it's 4:55. Why does dinner always have to happen after six when there are adults? Can't they just make food magically appear or something? I'm getting hungry here! And to leave a fridge so barren... Have people in this world not heard of grocery stores?

Okay rant over. I guess. Still doesn't change that I'm hungry. Leave it to my pretzel jar to disappear...

Song later tonight!

Song #3/fishbowl universes

Hello! I'm really finding this all very weird... Blogging nearly everyday and whatnot. Oh, and, as usual, the dang color and all that good stuff is gone. I want to find out who did it...

I have made a very strange bet/contest/test thing with someone in my homeroom. We were arguing over something that made absolutely no sense whatsoever, and now we're in the middle of a battle of the squiggly pictures. I need to figure out what in the world happened.

Also, never try to explain the universe by using a fishbowl. The idea of the universe fitting inside one is unnerving to say the least, because that would mean another big bang was going to happen soon. Although, he meant scale the universe or something along those lines, but it's still unnerving to me. Perhaps I'm claustrophobic?... Nah!

Okey-Dokey, on to the song! This day's song, and song number three is....................................................................................
Song of the Cebu by Veggie Tales! JK, JK. But still, you have to admit it's a catchy song...that makes no sense...and talks about bulls...with random slideshows...All and all, it's a kids song!

And that reminds me. Search google pictures for dik-diks. They are these really cute antelope related species, and, well, just look! They're really cute...

Oh, right, the real song. Okay! Song numero uno es Imaginary by Evanescence. I've decided that finding the youtube videos is pointless, because at this point, I'm pretty sure you know how to use the search engine on youtube. I chose imaginary, because this used to be one of my favorite songs. Crazy to imagine how much life changes, huh? Also the picture it creates in my mind is remarkable! I wish I could take a snapshot for you all so see, but alas! I cannot :(

From the overdramatic,

Oceansurferg

Update: It was song numero tres, not uno, but I felt like it was an uno day, yah know? Maybe I should have played uno... Bye!
