And I've noticed that when I write these blog thingys, no one reads them. Its oddly comforting. And strange that I do it. It's for myself.
Do things for yourself.

Heat&Stress&Music&Books&Disturbing Movies
Hello all :)
It has certainly been very hot lately. Today was 104 degrees, I believe. Quite awful! I prefer beautiful, rainy days, myself. Maybe some day I will move to Seattle, Washington. Sounds lovely.
Life for me has lately revolved around schoolwork. It's really been giving me a bad mood all the time. I try to read and listen to music to help out with my stress. I've been listening to the song "Buttoned Down" by Straylight Run nonstop! It's quite a wonderful song. You should certainly give it a listen.
I've been reading the book "Eclipse" by Stephenie Meyer. It's the third book in the "Twilight" series. I'm really enjoying it.
Has anyone heard of the movie, "Funny Games"? I'm partly interested in watching it, but I'm also partly thinking that it will be intolerably sick, just twisted. So, if anyone has seen it, I welcome opinions!
Well, I am quite thrilled that it is Friday. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Get A Life Tour
Last night I was at an amazing concert! It was Straylight Run, Lights Resolve, The Used, Street Drum Corps, and Army of Me.
It was such a great show. I had pit tickets which made it even more fun, and the best part is....... drumroll please..........my friend won BACKSTAGE PASSES! And took me of course. It was really great I met all the guys from Lights Resolve (Neal, Matt, Shermin); the singer from Straylight Run (John), and the drummer from Straylight Run (Will); and the singer of Army of Me (Vince). They were all really awesome and laid back.
Pictures!
(Sorry, just icky ones from my phone) And unfortunately, my pics of Lights Resolve are SO bad that they aren't even worth putting up here. Too far away. :(
John and me........................................................... Neal and me
Matt and me........................................................... Vince and me
Street Drum Corps:
Straylight Run:
Army of Me:
and The Used (I got really far back by the time it got to them)

So basically, it was a fantastic concert to add to my list of fantastic concerts that I've attended.
The only bad part was that my friend got hurt in the mosh pit, and so we took him to the hospital right after the show to get stitches! It was a really deep cut right above his eye. But he said it was worth it!
Oh, and if any of you ever have the chance to see Street Drum Corps live, DO IT! They're AMAZING!

Today I Learned the Importance of...
...a mental health day.
Well, afternoon.
I start having a serious mental breakdown at school! I just couldn't take it anymore. So I called my mom and we decided that we would take the rest of the day off, and have a mental health afternoon. She picked me up from school, and we went to a little French crepery and ate lunch. We shared a sandwich on a baguette, and a delicious crepe with nutella, strawberries, and bananas. Mmmm.
Then we walked around the little downtown area and I tried on whimsical dresses in a charming store, (of course, not buying any! :D ), and we smelled some lovely perfumes in Bath and Body Works. ;)
It was a lovely afternoon.
Too bad I have to go to school tomorrow...
Anyways, now I think that I will take my book "Farewell Summer", by Ray Bradbury, and go sit outside and read. With one of my kitties, of course.
