YAY!!!! School is tomorrow! *shoots self in head while smiling*

So anyway, I saw Twilight again with Laura and Lekey! It was still amazingly dazzling!
I'm so sad. I found this awesome coat at Rue 21 and I've been looking for a coat like the one Rob wears in the movie, but not exactly like it. It was AWESOME! I want it! :( *tear*

Lekey: JASPER!!!! See the jacket with Jasper and/or Jacob. Hehe. Or Ethan. Rue 21 rocks! Glad you finally got to see Twilight and I would really love to go to the Quaker meetings and such and such (SAYF!). Today my church was veyr boring. Tiring atmosphere.

Laura: So glad you're back and saw Twilight with me again. I think I might have to see it one more time or more. Hehe. I got distracted for one second a few times. Can't wait for the 2-DISK DVD!!! and Little Ashes!

Taylor: There are purple jeans at Rue 21. Hehe.

Hannah: Glad you saw Twilight, and that icon was funny.

Heather: You've got to admit that I should play Edward in our Twilight spoof. I found a very similar coat today at Rue 21 to the one Rob wore in the movie. It's awesome! I love it! I want it! AAHHHH!

Peace. Love. Happiness.

Oh and btw, after 10 days in the theaters, Twilight has made $119.7 million dollars!

A post

I posted Taylor be happy.

I'm fine I miss you guys a lot, nothing to terribly exciting has happened to me in quite sometime so i guess life is treating me well, I've actually been rather happy lately which i think is good, break was boring as crap, thank the lord it's almost over. I guess I'll see you guys in the morning.

I love this picture.

Yeah so I found a picture on photobucket that I absolutely adore. so I just had to post it! It's obviously Gerard way related, but it also has something to do with friendship!
















That's pretty tight btw.

The General

Sorry bout the title, I just couldn't think of a good one and I've got that song stuck in my head. (Again.)

I'm about to go see Twiliiiiight! *makes excited motions*

Hannah: That's horrible, and what a way to find out. I'm really sorry, you know if you need to talk I'm here for you. I hope you liked Twilight though! Lovelz, lovelz, lovelz. All for you.

Laura: I know what the present iiiiisss! Or presents are, rather. Anyway, we missed you a LOT, and never have I been more thankful for texting than this week. Twilight is gonna be fun. :)

Braden: Hey! You're cool! And taking me to see Twilight! By the way, I really admire your ability to figure out your own beliefs, separate from your parents and the church you grew up in. If you think Quakerism is the way to go, I'm right there to help you. :D

Taylor: You rock my world. Just because I can't think of anything to say to you right now doesn't mean a thing. We can stay on the phone for two hours and still have lots to talk about the next day, right? Lovelz you!

This is a pointless post... except the Hannah and Braden parts of the message, there was nothing that super-important to say.

So, .....................................

bye for now.

-Lovelz,
Lekey

I believe the rafter didn't knooow the waste!

Lalala.

Crap, I hate starting posts. I never have a good beginning. TT_TT

Well, to the point. 

Um...(dotdotdot)

Okphew. I'm glad I wasn't the first one to discover that song, because that would just be weird... considering Laura's the one I associate with the growly, not-quite-country, Daughtry-and-Nickelback genre. 

But... hang on. Is it on the playlist? *goes and checks* No. I'll take care of that in a sec.

Let's see. Other items of business... I'ma address everyone individually for a sec...

Hannah:

I hate it when people die. Expect an orange-squeeze type hug on Monday. 

And, congratulations for watching Twilight! *sniff* Our little Hannah is growing up! (Don't ask where that came from)

Lekey:

Carrots that wander, hiding M&M's in a lamb, "Arthur" they bray! 

I lufflez you! Um... I'm glad Ethan liked his birthday present. Note to all Phunk Sisters: If you ever ever in the future need help with a special birthday present for a special someone, ask me for help. :D

Laura:

I miss you!!!!! I bet I can guess what you got us! But I won't say it out loud in case anyone else wants to have fun guessing. :D I hope you had A LOT of fun in Florida, but we all know it would have been more fun if we were there. (I think your neighbors would have called the police!) :D

Heather:

I feel like I never see you anymore. Um... I hope you're okay? I mean, I guess no news is good news, but you need to postpostpostpost...

Braaaaaden:

'Sup my Phunky brother? You seem to be in pretty good spirits most of the time... :D

Uh.... uh... TWILIGHT. 'kay.

Okay, thus endeth shoutouts.

I have become addicted to "Iris" by the Goo Goo Dolls. I guess most of you are happy about that! 

Except I think their name should not be the Goo Goo Dolls. That name is strange.

You believe but what you see,

You receive but what you give.

In the back, a yellow chicken calls!!!!!!! 

(Seriously, when I listen to that song, I hear the misheard lyrics. Teehee!)

Ok, I'm done. 

More about life...

Laura!!! We miss you! You must never leave us ever again!
That was an article I found online. If you haven't, look at the slide show. It's hilarious!

Hannah: I'll understand when you'll be in a sad mood on Monday. I can sympathize. I commented on Mike's Gaia just like you asked me to.
How was Twilight? Tell everything. I'll understand if you didn't like it, but I loved it at least and so did Laura and Taylor.

Guess what? I FINISHED MY NOVEL THAT I WROTE! Laura can read it first I guess. I'll try to post a link below or I can send it to via email/attachments. It's 18 pages on computer paper, but I'm not printing it. Hehe.

Hope all of my sisters didn't get sick on Thursday from all of the turkey and pumpkin pie! Hmmm.

Song that I have on my mind right now: Flightless Bird, American Mouth by Iron and Wine. It's in Twilight during the prom scene and it's on the soundtrack. I love it! It's the perfect love song for the prom in Twilight. No spoilers just to let you know Lekey. ;D

Toodles!!!!

Post 150

Wow. 150 posts, not bad... I have to say that our blog has become pretty huge... I'd expect it to be though, seeing as we all kinda use this as our drama-central. It's a great way to sort things out while avoiding all the yelling and crying though...

So anyway, I'm in a hotel in Georgia at the moment. So I've been stuck in the car with my family for about nine hours... Talk about torture. Though I pretty much ignored everyone and read the whole time...

Speaking of which, I've just read a GREAT book. It's called Frostbite and it's the second in the Vampire Academy series, and let me tell you, it was a wonderfully written book. And I shall loan them out, being the private library that I am. *grins*

Wow, I got off track... Well, going to important things, hannah. I'm so sorry that you had to hear all that. It must be awful having all these people you know dying... But you have to know that we're here, k? Anytime you need any one of us, we're just a phone call away, understand?

And I'm so happy that you saw Twilight!!! Did you like the movie better? It left out quite a bit of the brooding and kept to the action scenes, which helps hold your attention more, I think...

As for Braden, awesome post, but one problem. The book was WAY better than the movie. Just how it goes. You can't hold the depth of a story on a screen, only through words and the human mind.

As for Tay-Tay's post, I'm sorry you got left in the cold... Why didn't you go inside and call home though? Though I guess that's the lazy way out when you can just walk... But still, the lazy way is an excusable way when it's freezing outside...

Speaking of temperature, I'm cold again... *sighs* If I didn't miss you guys so much, I'd have stayed in sunny Florida. By the way, I have small presents for all of you! I won't tell you what they are, but here's a hint. They're pretty, small, and didn't cost me a cent. Which is really good, seeing as I'm close to broke here... Need another hint? Think of what I could find in Florida that I couldn't in Kentucky. It's probably not too hard to guess...

So anyway, I luv you all, and hope to see you soon!
~Laura

And One More Thing

Hannah has a new favorite song THAT'S NOT BY MCR!!! D: *insert gasps here*.

It's called "White Horse" By Taylor Swift

Lyrics Plz?

Chorus:
I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairy tale
I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet,
Lead her up the stairwell
This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town,
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
Now it's too late for you
And your white horse, to come around

And Uh... Shit, I forgot what I was going to say...

.....
......
........
..........
..........
............
.................
...................
........................

Still can't remember....

I'll think of it later.

so how are you all?

So today was really fun for me! I went to Lexington with my Cousin went to Hot Topic, got a MCR calender ~hugs calender that has Gerard's Sexy-ness on it~ and an totally Shiz-tastic L Shirt. And I learned that I love my cousin Ashley more than you all of you, because I WILLINGLY went with her to see Twilight. (there's something you all can hang over my head.) :D

But anyway on to a more serious matter, after I got home (about an hour ago.) I checked my e-mail (as I always do.) and I got a message from Shyla's mom, and Shyla's friend, (the one who blamed herself for shyla's death because she was the one driving the car the night it happened.)Killed herself this morning... So don't expect me to be in a particularly good mood on Monday.

And if you think this is bad for me, Just think about how Shyla's old Boyfriend feels, not only did he lose his girlfriend but he lost his closest friend, in the same F**king year too. I'm not saying you have to but it would be really nice of you all if you would leave a comment on his Gaia Profile He should be the first comment and if he isn't then his username is XoXThe EndXoX, tell that you're friends of mine.

Thanksgiving!

A happy thanksgiving to all of you! I hope you are all filled with turkey and pumpkin pie! I know I am... *Sigh contentedly* Thanksgiving was interesting for me this year. For one thing, we ate outside, and for another, we were in a small tampa neighborhood... With my hillbilly family. Surrounded by Flordians, who get freaked out by that kinda thing. And singing lots of songs in our kentucky accent just to annoy the neighbors. I blame the wine...

By the way, I did find that song about a month ago. I heard it on the radio. It had just debuted then though, so I couldn't find it in playlist.com to put on our little music player... I forgot that I could post it on the blog though... And didn't Hannah post something about that song earlier? *Pulls up blog and checks* Yup! She did, way back before. Thank you for posting it though. It's a very encouraging song.

Sounds like you guys are okay back home. I feel so disconnected here! Like I'm missing everything, though it doesn't seem like there's been much to miss... *Sighs*

Oh well... I hope you all are doing well. We really need to get together, by the way. I'll be back Saturday afternoon, but we could do it on Sunday... Anyone know where we could meet? Our little coffee shop could work I guess... Or someone's house, preferably... Any ideas?

So, I should probably go. Well, see you guys later!

JOHN JACOB JINGLEHEIMER SCHMIDT!

Holy crap.

So I guess I haven't posted since my Twilight post...

Thank you SO MUCH Hannah for apologizing. 

I guess that's one thing that annoys me, is when people have too much pride to admit they're wrong. 

So thank you for that. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and I have so much more to be thankful for than material things, and family and such. I love you guys for giving me that.

Heather, where the hell are you?!?! You need to post, woman! I miss-eth you-eth!

Laura, we all envy you. But, I swear it's warmer today... Not on Monday though. I would know, because my dad didn't know he was supposed to pick me up from Academic Team, so I walked halfway home until he realized somebody was missing and came to get me. I feel so loved. D:

So, I'm going to die if I found a Nickelback song BEFORE Laura did, but I think if you had you would have posted it. I heard it on the radio and I was like, that's perfect! So I dedicate these lyrics to my searching sisters (and brother).

Chorus from "Gotta Be Somebody"

Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There's gotta be somebody for me like that
Cause nobody wants to do it on their own
And everyone wants to know they're not alone
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there

There you go. Interpret as you wish. This is mostly for Laura and Hannah, I guess. Kaylyn too, and I don't know if you like it, Braden, but whatever. 

I made manicotti for dinner tonight. :D

JOHN JACOB JINGLEHEIMER SCHMIDT DADADADADADADA!!!

Just had to get that out. 

Ummmmmmmmmmmmm.............................kay.

I swear I have something else to say, but I can't think. Bleh.

I like rolling down hills.

Brendan is mean to me!!!!

Okay. I'm going to stop wasting space trying to think of something to type. I can always edit later. Ahhh, the wonders of Blogger.... 

I love you all! 

28 Reasons Why Movie Twilight Was Better Than Book Twilight!

1. First of all, the demands of compressing a 500-page book into a two-hour movie mean that most of the boring scenes of Edward brooding about stuff have been cut. In fact, for the entire middle third of the movie, Edward seems happy most of the time, which Robert Pattinson frankly plays a lot better than he does the dark, serious looks.

2.The movie adds an amazing sequence in which Edward takes Bella to the top of an enormous tree for a view of the mountains and river below. It actually totally rules.

3. In the movie, vampires make an unnecessary but awesome whooshing sound when they jump around.

4. Bella's new friends in Forks have been given the Catherine Hardwicke treatment: They're cooler, funnier, more multicultural, and way more interesting than they are in the book, where they're mostly there to serve as distractions that Bella ignores on her way to Edward. For instance, Eric -- described in the book as "a gangly boy with skin problems" who's "the overly-helpful chess-club type" -- turns into a hip, attractive Gaysian. And when everyone goes to the beach, they don't just take boring walks to the tide pools; they go surfing!

5. Who knew Charlie's mustache was so awesome?

6. At the movie, you get to hear teenage girls shrieking, "I love you, Edward!!!" before the opening credits even begin.

7. We predict at least one actual Team Edward vs. Team Jacob riot in a movie theater somewhere in America; the rivalry gets much more visceral with audience members cheering the arrival of their heroes.

8. While the baseball scene can't completely avoid seeming like the campy miscalculation it is, we love that the vampires wear old-timey baseball uniforms.

9. There are jokes! Like, people tell jokes! Instead of just glumly or romantically talking about things! Bella and Edward even tell jokes to each other!

10. We guess because the movie was made by non-Mormons, there's a joke about Speedo-stuffing! And two jokes about boobs.

11. For no apparent reason, the alluring young waitress who can't stop flirting with Edward in Port Angeles has been transformed into a weird hipster chick with a hilarious bouffant.

12. When Edward explains to Bella that he can read thoughts, he points around the restaurant and tells her what everyone's thinking about: "Money ... sex ... sex ... money ... cat."

13. In a touching ode to primitive research technology, Bella actually reads a little bit about vampires in a book! Before going straight to Google.

14. Unlike in Twilight the book, in which Edward's afraid to even describe a hunt, we actually get to see Edward chase down a deer in the movie.

15. When Bella visits Edward's family, they charmingly attempt to cook her a meal. "We finally get to use the kitchen!" Dr. Cullen says.

16. The wall of the Cullens' house features a cute mural made up of dozens of the vampires' high-school graduation caps.

17. Due to Edward's chastity, at every point in the movie where you're expecting a sex scene, the filmmakers are forced to show long sequences of Edward and Bella lying down and staring soulfully at each other. They're even shot just like sex scenes! It's impossible to explain just how funny this is onscreen.

18. It really drives home the book's overarching message of the dangers of female sexuality when we actually see flushed temptress Bella, late at night in her bedroom, forcing herself upon Edward and the poor innocent vampire flinging himself against a wall to keep himself in check.

19. When Bella's mom hears that her daughter has a boyfriend, she demands, "Are you being safe?" We foresee a whole new tie-in line of armor-plated Twilight condoms!

20. At no point in the movie does the scene where Edward makes Bella faint appear.

21. Also, the scene where Edward calls Bella drunk doesn't appear in the movie, thank God.

22. In general, we're just so relieved that the movie did away with most of the 1,000 scenes in which basically this exact thing happens: Bella: "Don't go!" Edward: "I should go, but I can't." Bella: "I am happy!" Edward: "You're an idiot for being happy." Bella: "You are still totally gorgeous OMG OMG."

23. The other vampires - Laurent, Victoria, and James - don't just appear out of nowhere on page 375 because Stephenie Meyer belatedly realized something needed to happen. They make appearances throughout the movie, hunting and killing humans, which gives the movie not only little bursts of much-needed action but at least a game attempt at some suspense.

24. There's an actual fight scene between Edward and James, instead of Bella just passing out and getting told about it later. Mostly it's just them throwing each other through windows and crap, but in a story that's totally starved for action it's nice that they tried.

25. The movie answers in seconds a burning question the book never bothered to address: Do vampires in Twilight have reflections? Spoiler: Yes, they do!

26. Uh, Alice jumps onto James and TOTALLY BREAKS HIS NECK!

27. Movie prom is set in a gorgeous, opulent building with a twinkling gazebo for Edward and Bella's final dance! Book prom takes place in the gym.

28. "And so the lion fell in love with the lamb," Bella says. In the book, you just roll your eyes. In the movie theater, everyone cheers wildly.

Response to Laura's letter!

LAURA!!!! We miss you! For academic team, our movie is going to be a Twilight movie spoof. Me or Sebastian will be Edward and Heather is Bella. You need to be here. You can be Esme!!!! Rane is definitely going to be Rosalie and/or James. HAHAHA! Taylor can be a red-headed Alice. Ian would make a great brunette Jasper. Edgar can be Emmett since he's so dreamy and muscular!!! Hehe. I want to be a vampire at least.

Yays!

I'm currently blogging while sitting on the porch of our hotel, staring out at the beach and comfortably wearing a tank top. I love this place! The only way it could be better would be if you guys could come and replace my family... And one of us could legally drive... Believe it or not, but I've already managed to get sunburnt, but you know, it wouldn't be the beach if I didn't get burnt at some point... But I miss you guys! *Hugs through internet* Hmm... If I can hug you through the web, maybe I can pull you through so you can be here! *Grabs people through their computer and tries to drag them through* Dang it! It won't work!

Anyway, How are things back home? I'm so proud of Hannah for handling that so well, by the way. Perfect techniquie. Apologize, explain, then put up something funny to lighten the mood. I applaud you! And forgive you, if you didn't catch that in my applause. Plus, I will take extra care to limit my Twilight chatter around you, so as to relieve your stress at hearing about it so much.

As of now, such petty fights are behind me! This vacation is just what I need to rejuvinate and get away from whatever drama we have going on. When I get back, I shall be refreshed and ready to be your optimistic fortune cookie once more!

If you couldn't tell, I'm in a better mood than I've been in for weeks. As I said, a relaxing vacation was just what I needed. Hopefully, the fact that all of the near relatives on my mom's side of the family are nearby won't make more tension for all of us... (My grandparents = My mom x 10.) Yeah. All I need to say. My aunt Kit is here though, so that should ease things out... But we'll see...

So yeah, I send warmth through to all of you! Talk to me about what's going on back home! I feel disconnected being so far away... Thank god for internet and cell phones! But I gotta end this now... My dad's gonna disconnect the internet here in a minute....

Miss you guys!!!
~Laura

:)))

So you see my point, even if you don't realize it. We're different from most of the groups who populate our stupid school, because how many could begin resolving something like this on a frickin blog, without any more tears or screaming besides the initial ones?

Hannah: You amaze me. That would be REAAALLLY hard to say, and you pulled it off with grace. Dayumm. Better than I could have done. Impressive.

Not trying to sound like I'm giving you guys my 'lordly approval' or something... I just wish to express my admiration for all of you.

And now I hafta go. We'll cya on Monday, except Laur-Laur who is partyin it up in warm, sunny Florida... *is jealous* Come back sun-tanned and relaxed, friend. :D

Lekey

Holy Shiz.

I haven't posted on a while..

Anyway I'd like to clear things with you all.

First off I'd like to apologize to those of you whom I may have pissed off on Friday, I had no right to bash Twilight. You all respect my interests the least I can do is not bash Twilight.

Secondly, after reading some of you guys' posts I'd like to say a few things about that one day at lunch (you know the one.) What made me mad about what Kaylyn said wasn't the fact that Jerry is gay, it was that Shyla was gay (well she was bi.. basically the same thing.)

Now that's cleared.

Thirdly, Uh, I SAW YOU AT WAL-MART TAYLOR!!!!



Uh stuff to waste space!!

WAIT!

I'm about to go post a entry in my gaia journal it's a Interview with MCR It's fucking hilarious.

Okay...

Okay, so I AM annoyed. And I'm not going to take back anything I said in my last post, cause it's the truth. But, I am definatly willing to talk these things out and forgive and forget. I just am SO sick of all this fighting and tension and everyone reacting to everything so badlly...

I'm about to head out to Florida, so I have to make this quick... But, somehow, I agree with both Taytay and Lekey. For one, I'm tired of not being respected when I try hard to respect everyone else. But, you know, I'm really getting tired of being angry and annoyed. Have you noticed all of my excessive book reading lately? Well, that's what I do when I'm trying to escape my life for awhile. And boy, have I needed to escape lately. It's the only way I've found to let go of whatever anger I'm holding inside behind locked doors.

But I really think that this whole talking thing would be a great way to get rid of anger too. I think that most of us have plenty that we need to get off our chests, and the best way is to talk it out. So here's what I first heard when I got online:

All is Forgiven - Default

As if the wait was not enough
and one can only take so much.
You broke in to pieces.
Seems hopeless now but at least you know
the tables can turn around
and time will repair you.

And the rain comes and goes
and all is forgiven.
Can we learn to let go
so all is forgiven?

You're on your knees reaching
out reaching for someone
to lift you up right off the ground.
Is anyone out there?
You cant breath your choking.
You'll make it through just keep holding on.
I know that it won't be long 'til somebody saves you.

And the rain comes and goes
And all is forgiven.
Can we learn to let go
so all is forgiven?

When the clouds burn away
all is forgiven.
Will the night turn to day
So all is forgiven?

Don't stop the rain from pouring down.
Let it wash the pain where it can't be found.

And the rain comes and goes
and all is forgiven.
Can we learn to let go
so all is forgiven?
When the clouds burn away
all is forgiven.
Will the night turn to day
so all is forgiven?

oh... all is forgiven
oh... all is forgiven

So, I've gotta go, but I'll be in touch. Bye!

Wow. You know, when I logged on, I thought I'd be posting just a lil random check-in kinda thing...

I was off. By a lot. See, this whole debacle is a result of the issues repeatedly mentioned. And I think its good. It's time. I don't think anyone is to blame, and we all have our problems.

But the first thing I heard when I got on:

I have seen the others
and I have discovered
that this fight is not worth fighting
I have seen their mothers
and I will no other
to follow me where I'm going

Go now, you are forgiven

Talk about synchronicity. Which I am wayyy into right now. Thanks Dispatch.

So... I don't know, it seems like even though we're in this HUGE mess, we can get through it. "This fight is not worth fighting". Or maybe it just shouldn't be a fight. We do have problems, but we are different from other groups in that we realize it and feel like we should, even want to, address them.

The get-together idea that keeps being thrown around might be able to happen at my place. I don't know how eager my 'rents would be to host what will no doubt end up a drama-rama.

So. It seems like this is for the best. That we can be honest, even though it does piss off people who we love and care about. Let's keep this up, because you guys are my favorite people on earth and I don't want to lose you to our main issue of never adressing problems.

So much more to say, and I can't type another word. Love you all. We can work it out, we can work it o-uuuut.

Lekey

Apologies..

~If I made anybody mad with that last post, I'm sorry. I just....ugh! I really am not trying to be mean, but I'm just saying that all of the Twilight bashing annoyed me and angered me, even though I knew the bashing was completely stupid and childish and it was just, "Ok? I'm not going to take that personally and believe you on those comments because I know for sure that Twilight is awesome because I have read all of the books and have seen the movie."
~I sort of did, but you know, it wasn't nice to just do these things every second of the day all week.
~It's a big turn-off and I don't like it.
~We need to get together. I agree. My house is too open. I can hear my parents in the family room, when I'm up in my bedroom. Not good.
Ta ta for now my Phunk sisters!

Eeek!

I agree with Taylor.
People shouldn't be retarded and constantly bash something of others' interests every single second!
It's just retarded.
Those who disrespect me, get it straight back in their face. Maybe even worse!
It was not Eragon at all. It was mainly the awesome workings of Catherine Hardwicke and Stephenie Meyere combined (which literally it was!)
Those who haven't even read the books or have seen the movie DEFINITELY DO NOT have the right to critcise it just because they hate that series.
I have no problem if people have different views/interests, but when you actually say something about it, it says that the person doing the bashing/criticising doesn't care how others feel about it and they use it as a mechanism to make themselves feel better. To have a freakin' laugh.
I personally DESPISE it!
I just can't stand biased people or prejudice people. It's my #1 pet peeve. Treating others like crap because they are different from you, which is exactly how I feel right now!
I'm not trying to be mean.
I'm expressing how I feel about being made fun of, and HAVING MY PROPERTY TORN!!!!! THAT WAS RETARDED! At least I was generous enough to not make them buy me a new copy.

Post!

Okay, so first of all, Twilight. Was. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! *Squees*

And that's all I'm going to post about that subject for now... But trust me, you'll hear my opinion on the movie eventually. Just not right now, as we do have issues to discuss...

For one thing, thank you Taytay, for venting your anger. You've satiated mine, (for now) which saves me the effort of typing it all up, then having people get mad at me. Which I think that they probably are anyway, so I guess it wouldn't really matter... But still...

Just be glad it wasn't me who lost their temper. It would have been about 10x harsher and would probably include a bit of cussing. I have a much (MUCH!) longer fuse than most people, but that just makes things so much worse when they finally come out. Cause I spend so much time repressing my anger about things that when it does come out, there's a lot packed in there to get out... And boy did I come close today...

But anyway, I agree whole-heartedly with Taytay, so I'll spare you another lecture from me. All I want to say is that if you can't even respect and help your friends, how can you expect anyone to help and respect you? That's my fortune cookie thing for today.

The only thing with the whole issues thing is that every group of friends has them. It's not just us. It doesn't stop that from being a big problem, but it least it's comforting that there's at least one person out there that's going through the same problems as you are.

And yeah, our group has quite a few problems. And I think that our main one is our strategy for dealing with them. The whole "Ignore it and it'll go away" thing just puts things away for a little while, but it always comes back in some shape or form. It's really not solving anything.

We keep having certain temper problems, insane mood swing issues, boy troubles, bad grades, and definitely trust issues. And I think that most of it comes from our inability to address it. We really need to get together with our entire group and just talk everything out.

Don't get me wrong, the ignore tactic is definitely necessary and effective in some cases. It can work for personal or temporary things, like reigning in your temper *raises hand guiltily* or dealing with things you don't like.

But for our big issues, we really just need to get together. So someone, please step up and do this. I can't host it, for obvious reasons (Not to mention nosy parents!). So someone who can host a get together, please do! I can help plan, we just need a place to have it in!

So anyway, I'm gonna go for now. But before I do, here's what your fortune cookie has to say:

1.) Think before you act. Apologize for what happens when you don't.
2.) Keep your true friends close.
3.) Don't bother with your enemies, they're not worth it.
4.) Remember that we're only teenagers. We've barely begun to live our lives.
5.) Things tend to seem more important than they really are.
6.) The possibilities for the future are endless. Don't act like they're set in stone.
7.) Nothing lasts forever, so enjoy it while it lasts.
8.) The Golden Rule: Treat others as you would like to be treated.
9.) There is no such thing as perfect, so embrace that which is not!

So, that's that. I'll see you guys in a week! I'll still post on the blog from Florida though, and text and call and stuffs... So It'll be just like I'm there! Especially if you text during class or lunch. I'm available if needed, so I'll say adieu! Bye!

ISSUES!!!

So, Twilight was excellent. More on that later... dundunduhhhh

It's 10:59, and I feel so alive. I don't know why. 

Laura, are you going to publish that really long draft?

We have issues, guys. ISSUES!!!! IIISSSSSSUUUEEESSS!!!!!!!!!

I seriously don't want to offend ANYONE in this post. But If I must, I must, because when a person feels offended they tend to offend right back. And I'm OFFENDED.

The first part is about the incident that happened last Monday.

No.

That's all.

Everything went wrong, and I'm not blaming it on just one person.

It was going to be a joke. It was great fun. It never even crossed my mind that Hannah might take the "someone put garbage on my tray" point of view. But she did. From there it got worse, because we all know that Hannah has the boiling pot kind of temper. It flared up right away, getting food on Kaylyn in the process. Badbadbad. And it was just our luck that Kaylyn was the one who got splattered, because she's the one who Hannah's had problems with before. If it had been me, maybe something else would have happened. As it happened, I only got two little splats that I could easily take care of. But Kaylyn got splattered, and she has a candle in the wind kind of temper. It flares up for no reason at the most random times. It flared. Arguments were passed. Tempers got hotter. Hannah insulted Kaylyn by way of Jerry, who is gay. Kaylyn used this to her advantage by dissing gay people. Hannah left, and at this point another person got involved with the gay dissing. I was SO FED UP that I finally exploded. In the form of screaming at the other person to SHUT UP. After which I promptly burst into tears. 

You don't know how it feels. I don't like being nasty to people, but I do stand up for what I believe in. I keep my thoughts bottled up so tightly that only one usually ends up exploding out eventually. People would hate me if I spoke my mind half as much as I want to. So I was in conflict between "They're dissing gay people" and "I just screamed at them" and the two combined made me break down and cry. I swear, that wasn't me who screamed. It didn't feel like me. I am very sorry, but they should be too.

So Hannah boiled, and we used our little tactic, the "maybe if we pretend nothing happened it will go away" tactic. It didn't work immediately, but eventually, I guess it did. 

The other ISSUE I was going to talk about was the Twilight issue.

Don't diss people's interests. I don't diss your books, so DON'T DISS MINE.

I seriously try not to make fun of anyone's interests or put them down in any way. 

I would like it if people would at least give me and others the same respect.

Yes, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but if you know that opinion is going to make someone mad, you don't have to say it. 

Maybe once, "Oh, I don't like that book/movie."

Not EVERY SINGLE DAY WHENEVER SOMEONE MAKES EVEN AN OBSCURE REFERENCE TO IT!!!!!!!!

I'm talking about, "Oh, I hope it sucks like Eragon did," and "Oh, I had to suffer through people talking about how great it is. This day is gonna suck."

GET OVER IT!!!!!!

EVERY TIME I hear ANYTHING about how it sucks, all my feelings tell me, "If she says anything one more time, I'm going to SCREAM AT HER!!!" You're lucky I did my screaming online. It would have been WAY WORSE in real sound waves. 

Well, amazingly, I can't think of any more ISSUES to write about. Surprising, eh, considering we have SO FREAKING MANY?!?!?

I don't like to be mean. But right now, I don't care how hateful people get. I just don't care. 

Sorry to be so scathing, 

Taylor

(P.S. Just so you know? It didn't suck as bad as Eragon. In fact, it didn't suck at all. Ha.)

Phunk sisters help!! I have religious issues!

Okay, I really want to be a Quaker, but the obstacle to that is that I am going to a Southern Baptist church that is too traditional, boring, and especially conservative for me. Our pastor today was speaking in his sermon, and he sounded a bit biased. He talked about abortion being "murder" and a whole bunch of crap about rights that made me mad.
This one was the biggie that did it for me (meaning that I now know what I want to be).
He said, "Same-sex marriage. Where is the harmony in that?" I got so pissed! I did not think he would ever say that. I know it's his so-called opinion, but that is just plain gay bashing right there. I wrote down: "All types of marriage = HARMONY, DIVERSITY, and EQUALITY"
Please help me learn about the Quakers.
Are Quakers liberal? I'm sure of it. I just want to know. Well since Quaker means friend, then it means that they are open, peaceful, and tolerant of others.

Oh yeah. On SNL last night during the weekend update segment, Seth Meyers said that Barack Obama was elected president and it will finally be pronouced "nuclear."
Haha! Instead of "nucular."

Bored... music survey thing...

The only reason that I didn't put this on Myspace is that my mom would see it and she'd probably be mad about it, because she's evil like that.

Hey guys. It is thy Phunk brother Braden! WHOO! PARTY!

So anyway, I'm in a situation where I simply do not know what to believe in and what to do about it. I want to know more about the Quaker religion since both Laura and I have pretty much the same view on this and want to be Quakers. Taylor and Lekey, HELP PLEASE!?! LOL!

We have a competition tomorrow! WHOO! I hope we do awesome. We'll do our best and that counts. It's the "thought" that counts. Haha. Brainiac pun. Hehe.

SEVEN DAYS UNTIL:

What the hell did I do now?

So, my uncles up from Alabama and he's completly ignoring he won't even look me in the fucking eye! What did I do!? ~sigh~ Whatever.

anyway how are you guys? Can't be any worse than me.

I have another song for the playlist. (and guess what?) IT'S NOT BY MCR!!!! AHHHH!!! :O

It's "gotta be somebody" by Nickleback

words?

I was sick today. Not much else to say. Jerry says hi.

(pointless post)

>:(

Still pissed.

P.S.

Next time could you all do me a favor and not put a bunch of shit on my fucking lunch when I go to the fucking bathroom? That's all I ask of you guys. >:X

I can't think of much to say.

Good god, you guys, we need to post on this baby more often.

So... Hannah. I think we're all sorry for what happened at Lunch yesterday, but seriously, it was supposed to be a joke. I know Kaylyn overreacted, but so did you.
PS. Where were you today?

Heather, I misseth you... Uh... you must have been cold! >:D

Laura... Uh... I have no complaints. Democrats make better lovers. Who ever heard of a good piece of elephant? (LOL)

Lekey... I miss you even more. Sorry for making you feel awkward... Tell me about this ignoring thing? Plz?

So there's someone else in our school that likes t.A.T.u.! :D That's really cool. I'ma throw some lyrics in here for fun.

You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way
I am human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does


That's from "How Soon is Now?" By guess who? Yep, you're right.

So... politics. I TRICKED YOU! NOT TALKING ABOUT POLITICS!

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Sayf was fun.

And... I'm making Hannah a good grades plan. :D

You guys need to look up Eddie Izzard. Laura can tell you he's HILARIOUS.

It's been awhile...

Yeah, it's been awhile since I posted... Well, since the incident that seems to have become taboo on this blog, and that I'm not really comfortable posting the details of on the Internet anyway... So, I decided to put up a post today.

First of all, I'd like to put up this video in honor of veterans day. I just happened upon it on YouTube. And I know that some of you guys are against war in all shapes and forms, but the thing is, no matter how stupid and pointless war is, it's there, and people are dying in it. So I think that we should at least honor those who fight, even if we wish that they didn't have to. And this video is more about the horrors of war rather than the false glory of it. So, here it is:



Song: When Angels Fly Away
Artist: Cold
Movie: Jarhead

Yeah, they should've really put this in our veterans day assembly rather than that silly "I Took a Flag to a Pawn Shop" thing. Veterans day should be honoring the people who already died in war, and the few who made it back. It shouldn't be used as a big recruitment thing to trick people into thinking that war is full of honor and glory, cause it's not.

But sometimes, it's necessary. I mean, we wouldn't even have the freedom to post that war is pointless here on a public post, if it weren't for the war that freed America. All the Jews in the world probably would have died if we hadn't fought WWII. But I'm not saying that war is a good thing, just that it's sometimes necessary and unavoidable as long as greed and violence exists in this world.

Peace would be wonderful, but it's currently not plausible. I and I know that most of you are going to disagree with most of this post. *cough* Quakers *cough, cough* But that's how I see it, so do with it what you will.


So, let's try and lighten up the mood here... Um... Twilight comes out soon! (Sorry Hannah, I know that didn't help any...) But for the rest of us, yays! Something to look forward to!

And, um, what else is going well for all of us? Um, Lekey seems to be doing well with her bf, as does Tay-Tay. Um... I need to talk to Hannah more, since I'm not sure what's going on with her lately... Braden's now part of the phunk! So welcome your new phunk brother! We really need to send him a request to join our blog, by the way... And yeah... Sadly, that's all I can think of at the moment... So someone post with something good that's happening! Really! This is pretty depressing...

So yeah, I think that I'm done... And I think my parents might kill me if I stay on the computer much longer, so I'm gonna have to skip the icons part of my post... So, see you guys later!!

Frankie has good taste. (AND A PICTURE THAT WILL MENTALLY SCAR ALL OF YOU!)

So anyway, what's up guys? I'm listening to music (And amazingly it's not MCR) I know it's the Apocolypse D: but anyway. onto the meaning of the title. first off I found a Awesome-tastic pic on Photobucket.

(Takes 2 sec. to get HTML code)

TA DA!!


This is the part of the title that says "frankie has good taste"

And I decided not to put the picture the would mentally scar you all. (I'll post it later) ;)

But anyway, Taylor I have all of your 'Helena' needs right here. (when I say all I mean the lyrics.

Long ago
Just like the hearse you die to get in again
We are so far from you

Burning on just like a match you strike to incinerate
The lives of everyone you know
And what's the worst you take (worst you take)
from every heart you break (heart you break)
And like the blade you stain (blade you stain)
Well I've been holding on tonight

What's the worst that I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and not goodnight

Came a time
When every star fall brought you to tears again
We are the very hurt you sold
And what's the worst you take (worst you take)
from every heart you break (heart you break)
And like the blade you stain (blade you stain)
Well I've been holding on tonight

What's the worst that I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
And if you carry on this way
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and not goodnight

Can you hear me?
Are you near me?
Can we pretend to leave and then
We'll meet again
When both our cars collide?

What's the worst that I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and not goodnight
And if you carry on this way
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and not goodnight

That is all.

And! Lekey there is not a thing called "Too Much MCR" but there is a thing called "not enough MCR"

There is such a thing as 'too much MCR'...

Good lord, for serious!!! 'Teenagers' is awesome, but hello, how many emo-poppunk anthems can one playlist hold????

I miss you guys... This weekend seems long. Didja notice anything new on MySpace? :DDDD

Soo... we need to send Braden an invite to the blog. And lets throw out a random topic since there is absolutely NOTHING to talk about!!!!

Get ready...



Almost here....



Heeere it iiiiiis:


INSIDE JOKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We've got a million of 'em, what are some of your faves?

Mine: "Go look at Lekey's jacket!"

Meaning: well, if you don't already know it, you'll prolly find out soon. It's funny. *teehee*

This may have been the most pointless posting in a looong time. Later peeps.
