I'm on a mission and I want you guys to help.

I'm trying to make my ipod the best it can possibly be. So comment here with your favorite band/song, like, of all time.
Hey thanks everyone!

I'm sorry without you

I think it was a negative idea on my part to get drunk last night and go to bed at 3 30 knowing I have to wake up at 7 for work. I feel fine, but I'm just tired as fuck and can't really function at the moment.

Okay. So maybe this is a really stupid thing to get amd over, but it's really bugging me. Why does my family care so much about my appearance?! Honestly. Or even what I drink!?

"Tab energy is meant for girls, Alex. I mean, a pink energy drink?"

"Alex, you really should take that sweatshirt off..."

"Why do you always use messenger bags?"

"Most guys don't straighten their hair, Alex"

"Most guys don't care as much about the way they look"

REALLY? ugh. They don't fucking SHUT UP about it sometimes! I'm kind of over it now.

I can't wait to get out of here and not be judged for all of my actions by my own family.

Apparently, appearances are everything.

So I'm kind of over people right now.

He doesn't look a thing like jesus
But he talks like a gentlemen...

Casey told me that I need to fall in love with someone real, like she does(withdirrrrtyboys), and I told her that I am in love! With Davey Havok! And she found it kinda odd. Apparently, he's not real.

That's right. He's god-like. ha. Pretty much.

Sorry. Lack of substance in this post. But I figured I hadn't updated in a while, so I might as well.

Maybe it's just me, but when something is written on livejournal, it seems more profound then say, something written on xanga. Haha. how lame.

more later. ugh. nothing interesting right now.

So this morning in Sunday School, we talked about having those moments in time that you just want to freeze. And I didn't share mine, even though I have three that pop into my mind, and they are so vivid and clear, and I love them. So here goes.

001.

I was maybe ten years old, and my Great Grandmother, known so fondly to me as Mom-mom, was down at our house for the week. She was probably 72, or 73, and still in amazing health. So we are in the kitchen, and my mom whipped up this chocolate chip cookie dough, it wasn't anything special. Mom-mom grabs two spoons from the drawer, and we begin to scoop the cookie dough from the bowl onto the greased up pan. Every couple minutes, I would try to snitch some dough from the mixing bowl, but every time I did that, Mom-mom swatted my hand with her spoon, telling me that I'll get salmonella from eating the raw eggs. I giggle, and go back to scooping my cookie dough in into heaps on the pan. For the remainder of the time, she tells me her jokes that are extremely lame, but so grandma-ish that I find them thouroughly amusing, and don't want them to stop. We eventually breaking into the song that she taught us about the little baby eating huge portions of fish that were caught by his father in the brook, earlier in the day. After the cookies were done, we enojyed the fruits of our labor. I think that's my favorite memory that I have with her.

002.

I think in 7th grade, when I used to walk home with Casey and Joe, I usually ended up at someones house, doing "homework." We thought we were bad because we never actually did homework. One afternoon, Casey and I ditched Joe and went to her house, only to be greeted by her sister Kelly. Encounters with Kelly were always...interesting. Eveything we talked about was so outlandish, and I was fascinated with the fact that someone could be so obscene and vulgar, and not even give a shit. We walk into her house, dump our bookbags on the floor, and collapse. Kelly comes up, site down with us, and hilarity ensues. We spend the next hours in fits of laughter, falling over and clutching our stomachs. Somehow we end up on the subjects of Casey and Kelly's grandperants fucking, and Kelly makes these more than ungodly sounds, imitating her grandmother. This just throws us over the edge, and we can't stop laughing. It's disgusting, but we found it to be hilarious. It was so perfect. We didn't have a care in the world, and we were cracking up over something incredibly stupid, but it was fun. We had a good time.

003.

This happened more recently, at MDA camp. I was walking back from the Hollywood dance with my pseudo-camper, Mitch, who just happens to be one the most AWESOME kids ever. Laura can attest to that. As we walk back, Mitch recounts everything that happened at the dance, all the girls he danced with, his favorite songs, the hottest girls, etc. See, the entire day, Mitch was worried that he couldn't get a girl to dance with him. I told him it was fine, that he could get every girl in the camp to dance with him if he wanted, and helped him get dressed for the dance. At first, he was wearing his MDA camp t shirt, which was okay. But I told him is he wanted to get the Ladies, he should wear something else. He ended up in his Green Day t shirt and cargo shorts, with his mitary style cadet hat. So he's all pumped and ready to go, and before he knew it, Mitch had girls dancing with him. He was so fun to watch, because he was absolutely ecstatc about this. You could see how happy he was, knowing that someone would dance with him.

So We're walking back, and he is telling me eveything that happened, and how much he loved dancing with the "hot blonde girl" who just so happened to be my sister, Christina. But I thought it was such a perfect ending to the week, and it was the perfect night for walking back too our cabin with one of the most amazing people I have ever met. It was great.

So those are my freezeframe moments.

I'm already sick of my sisters.

They use all the money mom gave us already, for things that aren't needed.

And they decided to clean the house today.

And i don't want to be here with them.

They think they own the place when my parents are gone. which is extremely annoying.

I love my converse.

they are amazing.

I think that I've formed an unnatural emotional attachment to my shoes.

hehe.

I got this feeling
that Life is holding me down

haha. yay for Footloose! It's quite delicious.

My hair looksmarvelousthis evening. Pictures, later.

Im off to go see Lauren!

I ~~like~~ love life.

2006-09-14T01:48:04Z

I feel like I should be distaught about this or something

But I'm not

And I kind of like it like this.

I should say something about this

But I'm not going to.

And I kind of like it like this.

Am I wrong about this?

on an almost comletely different note,

jealousy is a ~~bitch~~ complete and utter wate of my time, though it still gnaws at me like no other, creeping through my skin.

no offense, but don't even try to relate

or understand.

2006-09-13T02:06:57Z

I'm clueless

help?

I hate not knowing.

people should tell me what to do, how to live, etc.
that way I don't have to deal with any of it on my own.

You don't tell someone that you can give them a ride to a concert, then back out the night before at 10 pm. Things don't work that way.

Luckily, I've figured tings out with it. I'm now going with Natasha, whihch should prove to be more fun (i think) than going with Mari. But yeah. I'm pretty excited about tomorrow night. PLUS my poison ivy is almost gone, my cold is compltely gone, and I got an 80 on my AP test, which I'm happy with as of right now, but I hope to do better in the futre. I want a B in the class, without the ten points.

I can do it. And get A's in every other class, except for maybe Latin. The concept of what we have been doing in it lately is completely over my head. Just...whoosh.

It's almost 11, and I'm Completely Wired.

I still havae yet to study for my Latin quiz tomorrow, and I'm pretty sure I have a lengthy worksheet due in Physics, first period. damn.

Procrastinate much? Only a little bit.

It'll all get done eventually.

I'd be dying in IB.

I pity you Sarahmintz.

Waiting for this life to change
feels like it's taking me forever...

I love it.

I'm off to go do school stuff, listen to Death Cab, followed by an unsettled night of [sortakinda] sleep.

But my brain knows better
It pick you up and turns you around
if you feel discouraged
there's a lack of color here
please don't worry lover
It's really bursting at the seams
from absorbing everything....

I love me some good Death Cab For Cutie. I makes me quite happy. I love them.

By the way, we're going to see them on November 17. K? k. It's quite exciting to me. They're playing at the fox, which isnt the best venue for a concert, but nonetheless. It's death cab for cutie!

This is fact not fiction
For the first time in years...

I hate not feeling in my own body sometimes.

I was in Latin tis morning, and Rob asked me to look up at the ceiling. For a split second, i did and wondered why the hell he wants me to look at the the extremely dull ceiling with the word "tectum" written on it. Then I feel like a fool and tell him it's just my poison ivy.

I feel much better then yesterday. I think yesterday was just a mixture of me being sick and itchy, which made me very very irritable. Followed by everything else that stresses me out. And that dosn't happen too very often.

But Death Cab always seems to make things better. Or maybe some Jacks Mannequin.

Somniac derranged
I know where you go
Sleep is when it rains..

I havent ever heard this song before. (I'm listening to Pandora, my Death Cab Station). And I don't particularly like this song. It's a little bit okay. Not good enough to downoad, though.

I love how my sisters have their laptops now. It's nice, Katelynn lets me take hers into my room, seeing as I get more use out of it than she does. Plus, It's nice to be in my room and be on the computer, and do homework in here. It's a lot easier for me to concentrate.

ooh! More Death Cab Came on!

technicolor boy
transistor radios
blasting their treble tones
and the aarguements are disputed
after school
in the parking lot as the teachers bend the rules...

I love this song! Technicolor Girls is quite good.

I'm just kind of rambling on now. I need to go do my homework before I go to church tonight.

<3alex

ugh.

2006-09-06T01:00:53Z

Shit.
I have a horrible head cold.
Plus poison ivy, which is unbearably itchy and spreading like the plague.
And the AP test tomorrow, which is slightly stressful.
And I just finshed my Latin Essay, which is complete bullshit.

I'm doing horribly right now, thanks for asking.

I just want to take some benadryl and pass out. But I can't.

I still have a shitload of Homework. Fuck.
I can't do it.
I predict a breakdown coming in hte near future.
I hate those.
Really, I do.
Especially when they happen in the middle of a school day.
It's quite pitiful.
I go to the bathrrom and cry.
I'm such a woman.

Robert Smith Lied, Boys Do Cry.

Just not often.

So last night was fun. First we stopped up at the peachtree movies to go see Danesha, then went up to the Medlock area and sat in starbucks, talking for 3 hours. It was fun. That's about it though...haha. I love it.

I'm going to mow Ms. Lukes lawn soon. Ugh. It's such a small yard, but there is one rather large area where roots stick up all over the place, so I can't mow in that area. I have to take the weed wacker, which takes me forever to do. Then I get to come home and mow my lawn! It's pretty exciting, if I may say so myself.

Then hopefully I can hang out with Laura? that would be exciting. I don't see her enough anymore, it's quite depressing.

So we sat in Starbucks last night, and we got there before the whole rush of people got there, and stayed until they were all gone. It was pretty good. I love how everyone comes in there, walking around like they think they're the shit. It makes me laugh a little biut. And I throw up in my mouth a little bit, too. Most of these kids are just obnoxious. And there was like, and asian clan or something standing outside the whole time. It was slightly creepy.

I'm off to go mow some lawns.

I had a good hair day today, or atleast for part of the day.

But it doesn't matter because I was very dressed down today. I felt gross, as well. I on't know why; I showered and everything. blech. I'll shower again befor going out tonight. And i'll wear something half decent, as well as straighten my hair. I think. I like it when I look nice. It makes me feel good. I think that's a given with anybody when they dress nice, but I just hvae to point it out to everyone that I feel good about myself. haha.

Lately, when people ask how I am, I've tried to avoid the overused "fine" or "good." I mix it up a little bit. Plus, I'm not always fine, or good. Lot's of times, I'll say that I'm content. Which could be considered a synonym for fine, but it makes me seem more intelligent or something. Like I have something important to say.

Have you ever noticed how a lot of people will try and say that they see their life as a movie? I always think it's because it sounds cool, as a concept. If I was a heroine addict, maybe I would think of my life as a movie. A very dirty, unglamorous sick and twisted movie. But I'm not. I like to think of my life as a book. Then people's minds wouldn't turn into mush by reading a book about a very mediocre, flambuoyant guy who doesn't have many significant or important things to say. I dunno, I think that I'd read a book like that. Ocasional troubles, bad grades, good grades, ups, downs, but still a very average kid. I would find that most interesting, to see/read about someone like me.

I really should go take a nap. But i have too many things on my mind at the moment to sleep.

actually, not really. I'm just saying that. I really, rather content with myself at the moment. Or I will be in the near future, once I change my clothing. How superficial and vain of me.

Got another lawn mowing job for saturday morning. And she pays me rather nicely, so that's good. All towards Italy.

So I decided that I want to start dressing nice. I'm getting tired of Jeans and t shirts all the time. But I have to save money for Italy, so yeah. Won't happen anytime soon. Blech.

So I came up with this super amazing idea for Natasha's birthday present. I still need to think of something good for Laura. Why must you be so difficult?!? haha. But for natasha, I'm doing Alex's Complete annotated book of Fashion Ad's. haha. I love it. It's kinda a thing between me and Natasha, but it might seem compltely like, weird to you two. But she'll love it.

As for you Laura, I haven't a clue. I wanna do something that's good, but not expensive. Something worthwhile, and is creative and super super amazing. I dunno. I'll (hopefully) think of something.

I'm so glad tomorrow is Friday. yay! It makes me happy. Natasha and I are going to see Danesha at work, if she works tomorrow night. So that's pretty exciting. Other than that, I get to help my dad paint the house after I cut two lawns on saturday. ugh. I'm really looking forward to it.

I've been feeling kind of odd Lately. I don't know why or in what respect, but it's there. I guess I want some change in mylife. I;m starting to get into the normal swing of things, and I want something new and different to happen to me. Some excitement in my life. Or maybe I want to be proud of something that I do. I haven't been too proud of myself lately I guess, and it would be nice to accomplish something, and do it well. I want to find my niche in society. I want to find out what I love to do in life. I realize that I am only 16, and I have a bit of time, but I wish that I had some sort of passion in my life, in the sense that I love something so much to the point that it sort of becomes my life. Something other than just admiring music. ugh.

mkay. I'm off to go pity my passionless self in the corner.
