wow the album is amazing. and i mean this in the nicest way :p. i can see why he named it Schizo cuz the sounds and stuff are all over the place. there isn't any theme, except maybe the fact that they're all about sex. it's 17 songs and 1 hr and 17 so it takes awhile to get used to it all. i think it's like the first time you hear it you go what was that?! the second you start to get it a bit. but then there were a couple that got me right away. one being what i thought was the simplest song called Something Special. maybe it's cuz there's a little country break in the middle. hee hee. darn florida and all its country music glory.

i think it's time to change the layout

24.2.04

Album finally out today! yay! need to go buy! yay! better be good! yay!

will discuss later.

18.2.04

I saw JC on Jay Leno last night. hee hee. it felt like old times. staying up late, waiting for an NSYNC appearance. no tape at hand to record tho. he sang "Some Girls" which is a hard song to perform. since most of it is like... mumbling. nothing too spectacular that i couldn't have seen in his video. but whuevuh. still enjoyed it :). i was sad because he was at the very end so he talked for like 2 minutes. but i haven't seen him interview in a really long time so it was refreshing. too bad he spent most of his time defending :\ . himself, paris, justin... the album cover kind of scares me. but i'm gonna buy it anyway :)

13.2.04

Like a Preschooler Can Read Pride and Prejudice

whoops i've been neglecting my countdowns!

so it is 7:34am on thursday and i FINALLY finished that outline thingy. whoa it took so much longer than i thought it would. i spent about 2 hours just trying to condense my outline to 8 pages! it had turned out to be 13 pages and i was like hmm... that's 5 pages too much. took a lot of fragmenting of the sentence fragments. i hope he doesn't count off for that. i didn't outline the intro or conclusion either cuz yeah, i wouldn't have made it. hopefully he won't notice *ahem*. and my intellectual engagement sounds like a bunch of mixed ideas, but i don't remember him saying to make it into a full-fledged essay. so they're pretty much paragraphs of personal opinions. blech.

speaking of personal opinion, last night made me realize i must be a hard to person to read. i was packing up my stuff from the SWE meeting and Lissett goes "are you ok? what's wrong?". nothing was wrong, i guess i just looked that way. then i thought about it.... and many people ask that! just cuz i am quiet i look like i'm depressed/sad/not having a good time. i guess. i think people usually think that when i'm lost in thought. pensive. but am i really that hard to read? just because i'm not laughing or talking up a storm, something has to be wrong. not true i say. it just bothers me sometimes. then i overthink the situation when the other person casually forgets. but it's like... how am i supposed to change that? tape the corners of my mouth to my ears? maybe i don't show any emotion at all and people read me by what i'm saying. maybe i'm a robot. MAYBE i don't really exist....

hee hee. okay i haven't gone that far off the edge.

i heard on xl106.7 that JC will no longer be performing on the ProBowl because of what happened at the Super Bowl! That's so unjust(in? lol)! first they wanted him to switch songs so he did, then they wanted him to change lyrics so it wasn't so sexual, so he did, and finally they say no not at all! grr. he said this on some radio show in CA, they didn't mention which.

well all i care about is that his album better not be pushed back anymore! i wanna hear it already.

AND in other news...

i just saw a banner advertising a special edition DVD of the Labyrinth. aahh!! lol. how much more could they show?? j/k

my friend michelle who was in my engineering group last semester, who is in my english class this, told me that her turtles will be having babies! aww! she saw them doing the mating ritual and was like what the heck is that? hee hee she looked into it and found out. but she thinks she might end up killing the babies because they'll be under rocks and they'll be hatching around the time she's moving out of her apt! pooey. something must be done about this...

So Tilly's back. I'm not sure how to react. It's been... two weeks since i've driven her? my mom asked if i was going to rename her. I said no, she's still the same, just had a facelift. or a nose job like my mom said. but i consider the headlights like eyes so i'd think more of the first. I don't know why i'm making a fuss of it. IT'S A CAR. CARS DON'T FEEL. CARS DON'T KNOW THAT YOU SMASHED IT UP AND YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN CHARGED WITH ATTEMPTED MURDER IF IT HAD. lol. yeah, i think too much. too too much. i really need to get that class over with. i think i'm going to end up doing the actual class. because i will probably procrastinate with the internet thing and my computer is slow anyway and if i did just do it at school, there isn't any sound to facilitate the videos. it's not like those other freaks and weirdos in the class are going to gang up on me and be like HEY it's the new girl! first time? yeah this is my 4th. can only do 5 in a lifetime yanno. *shudder** thinks of butterfly effect*. umm yeah.

sorry about the tagboard. i know it's slow with the transparency. i have a haloscan account. i put it up in case you'd like to use it instead. i dunno. w/e. i give you CHOICES. decisions, decisions. before, i considered not puttin it up because i already have a comment box anyway. but then i remembered that i have the fizbox too, so i might as well get haloscan up. unless it slows the site even more. hee hee

Happy February!

hello blog, how are you? i have missed you. live journal has been getting all of my attention, i know. i just wanted to see what it would be like and all. and yes, i am enjoying it very much. but i still feel i am missing something from my blogging experience. and that would be you, blog. i hope to post in you more, but i don't want to reduce you to a surveys and quizzes blog. you are much too good for that. so maybe i will give lj the bigger posts and you will have the more spur of the moment posts. or some random thoughts i get. like this one:

Stupid sequel! argh x a billion! i really want to send it off already. the content is all set. i just need to put it on... SOMETHING! takes a long time to do though. i'm considering just streaming it . but i probably wouldnt even be able to see it cuz my connection is slow. aahh!! and now it's february and i meant to send it two months ago. what to do, i can't not send it. it WILL get sent. and my friends WILL see it. and it WILL be before summer vacation! argh. argh argh argh.

*sigh*. well, i feel a little better from that.

hope we work together again soon.
