I've done this before, but I'll do it again since I always could use suggestions on new music (even if my iTunes account has less than a dollar in it right now).
Here are the last ten songs I have bought from iTunes, starting with the most recent.


1.Aviation High-Semi Precious Weapons (THIS IS FOR FREE ON ITUNES RIGHT NOW!)
2.Jungle- Jamie N Collins & X Ambassadors
3.Who Needs You- The Orwells (FREE)
4.Skinny Love- Birdy
5. Chandelier- Sia
6. I'm Only Joking- KONGOS (ALSO GOT FOR FREE)
7. Back Then - Julian Smith for B Story
8. Addicted to You- Avicii
9. Sail- AWOLNATION
10. Leave My Body- Florence & The Machine

Gotta love all the songs that get stuck in your brain.

Pushing The Day's Limits

Hey y'all.
Just a quick update on me since I know my posting has been next to none.
I've been stressing out a lot lately, and working as much as I possibly can to get school work done correctly and in a timely manner.
So mate has become my new best friend, and I realized how nice and quiet it is at two in the morning.
And while that sounds sort of romantic (at least I think it does), and while I also am sort of strangely addicted to it, I sort of need more sleep.
Also, my face keeps twitching, so that's not a plus.
BUT DON'T WORRY GUYS, I'LL BE BACK TO WRITING SOON!
Hopefully Saturday!
And don't worry about me, I really am fine, I just have these bouts of chaos during this time of the year for some reason.
But I can deal with organized chaos. Perhaps that'll be the title of my memoir, Organized Chaos. Or perhaps after something a teacher told me, Just Under Crazy.
Or something.
ANYDOODLES, I will start writing again, and that makes me happy. Maybe I'll put my sonnet on sporks on here from English class, or a ballad that I'll have to write in the future.
I want mine to be about a police chicken. Hehehe.
Well, gotta fly little ones. I'll write more soon.
(P.S I now have a problem with Tumblr, as in I FIND IT TO BE SOOOOO AMAZING, so if you want to check mine out, it's www.anonymousbassoonist.tumblr.com . Just to let you know. And now this is the true goodbye. Byeeeeee!)

I NOW OWN A GOLDEN UNICORN.

And a pair of overall-shorts. And a double king-size chocolate bar, among other things.
If I get some sleep, I'll post tomorrow.
Otherwise, it'll be awhile until I post again.
In the meantime, fly high little birdies.

IT HAS COME

SNOMAGEDDON 2014 IS HERE AND IT IS REAL, SEE, I TOLD YOU MR. WILLY* THAT IT WOULD HAPPEN AND YOU JUST KEPT TELLING ME  IN CHEM THAT WE'D GET ONE INCH BUT I KNOW AND SNOW THE TRUTH SO DON'T QUESTION MY PSYCHIC ABILITIES. ALSO I HAD A WEIRD DREAM OF MAKING EGGS AND BURRITOS IN THE MOUNTAINS WIH A MONK AND HE HAD AWESOME SHOES FOR ME TO WEAR AND RAINBOW SODA AND SO MANY CHICKENS I PLAYED WITH THEM ALL DAY AND WE HAD A RESTURANT/B&B AND IT WAS KIND OF AMAZING AND WE'D HELP HIKERS MAKE IT UP THE HIMALYAS WITH OUR FABOULOUS CUISINE.

(www.culturefocus.com)

Phew...good thing I got that off my chest. I actually would like to write my dreams more often, but I usually forget them five minutes after I get up. But this one was so epic that I guess I didn't.

You guys getting pounded with ice and snow too?

I feel your pain...but for those who are living in other countries, I WISH I COULD HANG WITH Y'ALL FOR AWHILE.

Stay safe and have fun.
*Sort of not his real name...

Black Jack Back (Yeah this Title Was Dumb So What)

WHAT UP, BRITCHES?

(http://www.fortdowning.com/Breeches.htm)

Bet you weren't expecting that, huh? Neither was I...

It's been a while hasn't it? I really did miss writing EVERYDAY, but obviously that probably isn't going to happen again until summer, because my schedule is packed to the point where I can barely remember everything that is supposed to be going on.
But enough about me, what about you?
Hahahaha just kidding back to me because otherwise we'd have a super awkward long silence-pause....                                                                 JUST LIKE THAT.
So, getting back to old to times, a list of things that I've learned/have happened to me?
1.Cacahuate replaced tortuga as my favorite Spanish word.
2. I have become obsessed with Tumblr. I really just look at other people's posts, but if you want to check out the few things I have, click here. I don't really like my theme, but I be getting on that.
3. Being sick while playing your instrument for eight hours a day sucks. Plus, it'll get you addicted to Lemon Mint Ricola Coughdrops (not a sponsor. I don't have any. Yet.)
4. I relearned how much I hate shoveling snow.

5. I GOT MY PERMIT AFTER TRYING THREE TIMES. Too bad my DMV friend wasn't there to see me the last time....OR WAS SHE SABOTAGING ME? (BUM BUM BUUUUUUUUUUUUM!)

(www.gifsoup.com)

Naaaah she was too nice.

6. Something must be wrong with my computer because now it is extremely difficult to put pictures in Word documents or add videos to posts and stuff, which is really annoying.
7. Q: How many boxes of breadsticks is too many boxes of breadsticks?
A: 4, when you didn't realize your other two roommates ordered two boxes, and each box comes with 20 in them. So you sell them to some of the other kids from your school for all the money they have in their wallets (3 bucks).
8. Pants are overrated. Big sweatshirts and sweaters with leggings are just fine.
9.Marvin's probably not coming back. Ever.
10.TJMAXX is amazing because you go and buy a adorable yellow plastic suitcase, a robot sweater, a mix of a denim vest, a sweatshirt, and a sweater, and sometimes the employees compliment your swan pants or tell you that you should be a model. SHOUT OUT TO MY HOMIES AT MY CLOSEST TJMAXX.
11.So much snow means that one week you went to school for one day.
12. Bassoonists are awesome.
13. Wearing weird shoes helps you make friends, while distracting them from playing as they turn from blue to purple in the light.

14. I wish I had more time to read.

15.Bob's Burgers is now probably my favorite show. I have a Louise hat! I FEEL HER POWER COURSING THROUGH ME!

(www.tvlistings.zap2it.com)

Or maybe that's all the coffee I've been drinking lately...

16. Netflix is my newest fling. Been catching up on Portlandia, watched Butter, Skyfall, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Bob's Burgers, Adventure Time, Project Runway, and just about everything else they have on there.
So that's all that's really been going on with me. Send me a comment if you're feeling my vibes, or have any ideas for a new post. But I'm feeling some of my creativity returning, and that feels good.
Until next time, stay deep as the ocean and cool as a cucumber.
And wash your face twice a day to wipe the ugly away (thanks Miles Jai!)
Byeeeeeee! (Grace Helbig)
P.S Can you tell I have youtube mania?

Bubbly Water

I got bored and made this.

That's all I got for today.

Has This Ever Happened To You?

Have you ever listened to a song on your iPod that you've heard maybe a hundred times, but then one day it seems that the tempo is much slower or faster?
This seems to happen to me a lot for some reason.
But sometimes if I start beating out the tempo it will go away, so maybe it's just my brain being weird.
Does this ever happen to you?

SNOW AND COFEE COMBINE

I have my coffee, my brother has his snow. They both make us hyper.
TOGETHER WE ARE UNSTOPPABLE!

(www.dailyshotofcoffee.com)

Well, at least for a little while.

Clarisonic Face Brush

I just got one and I can't wait for it to massage all my face pores and hopefully it will make my face smooth and soft like the snow  that surrounds me outside.
Okay, that's an overstatement, but I heard that it is amazing, and who doesn't like getting their face all massaged at least once a day?
I'm probably over-excited, but I get really hyper and obsessive about the little things that make me happy in life.
Gotta prepare myself to wing a presentation for tomorrow.
See y'all later.

Photos of Myself

When I was going through my Wreck This Journal, I flipped to the page where you put a picture of you that you don't like and you deface. But as I was thinking about what photo to put there, I realized I don't really love any photos of myself.

(www.flickrhivemind.net)

I could probably count on one hand the number of pictures taken of me recently that I have actually liked.
I usually don't look at pictures that I am in. I will glance at them and smile at everyone else, but then I sort of skip over myself. I know that I'm in it, but I don't really comprehend the whole picture. Maybe this is the reason I don't have a camera except for the crappy one on my phone, and I really don't take selfies (which is basically impossible, again, because of my phone).

(www.fbpause.com)

By now you are probably thinking I have a bad self image or something. And this isn't really true. I accept myself for who I am and enjoy all the things that make me weird or different or stand out. But of course everyone has their own insecurities, so there are things that I worry about a little bit.  But generally I don't worry or think badly about all of the scars I have, or my round face, or my enormous hands. I take it in stride, along with most of the annoying or crappy things that happen on a weekly basis.
 So I guess I attribute the whole photo avoidance thing to something sort of superstition.

(www.centerforinquiry.com)

 

(Okay, not that type of superstition. But that was asking to be put in there. Hehehehe. Well, by the little voice in the back of my mind going, "You know you want to..." Anyways back to what I was saying before.)
While people who know me may not think I'm super superstitious (ha, I liked how that sounded, sorry continue reading), I unconsciously sort of am. I'll read horoscopes for fun, then end up following them, even though I try to convince myself that it's not true at all. When I heard that they were building a second Titanic, I sort of lost my mind and tried to convince a bunch of people to never, ever ride on it because surely they would drown. Naming and creating a replica of a ship that sunk and killed so many people is just a beacon of bad luck and not good ju-ju.

(www.foxnews.com)

So when I see a picture of myself, I feel like I unconsciously feel like there is a little part of my soul or something in those pictures, and that by looking at it I'm giving it over to the photo.
Okay, I actually have no idea what I'm unconsciously thinking (that's why its unconscious) but I'm just trying to give an idea to something I can't really put into words.
Oh well, I tried.
So this was sort of a feelz post, but it felt good to write it down anyways.
But now I want to write something funny to relieve all this tension. Hmmmm...
FLAGELLA!

(www.biologos.org)

Nope that didn't work. Well, I gots to go do some homework and write a speech, so I'll catch you on the other side of the next post my brain decides to vomit out an idea for.
P.S Now I'm listening to Superstition. Thanks Stevie Wonder for working your way into my brain...

Working on Wreck This Journal

I finally have had some down time to work on it again (even though I should be working on school projects).
The problem is that once I start wrecking, I get kind of obsessed and do around ten pages at a time until I finish them, and then I taper off after a day and forget about it.
So this is the cycle that my work has fallen into, and by tomorrow I'll be back at school and will forget about the whole book until Christmas break.
Probably.
But for now, I'll show you one of the pages that I think I'm basically finished with. I did it late last night, because that is the best time of day for destroying your journal for some reason. Perhaps it's because its dark and you turn up your music loud (on your headphones) and you just finished a jar of Nutella and everything is working out in the world.
Well, you know, for me at least.
So here's the page!

P.S I was really twitchy when writing this post so sorry if the words sound funny. I look back on this and don't think that the order and flow was superb.

I'M OBSSESSED WITH THIS SONG.

Period.

And I don't think I want to stop listening to it.
Ever.

BTW

JEFFERY DALLAS AND JULIAN SMITH ARE BAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!

Just thought you should know...

Thought I Had Today

Okay, so in movies an actor might have to sign their character's name on camera. But what do they do if they are in another movie and they have to sign their other character's name on camera? I mean, yeah it's going to be a different name but they are still going to have the same handwriting/ signature. So do they have to change how they sign or does somebody else sign it for then and all we see is their hand?
Okay maybe this isn't really relevant to anything.
Back to the homeworkz.

Black Hole

I don't know if I've said it before on this blog, but I know I have told my friends and some of my family that I have a black hole that follows me. Except I never know where it is. But it sucks up important things and spits them out (usually after the time I need them) like my turquoise ring, my long, knee-high socks, my War-Heads stash, my umbrella, and my lemon flavored mouth guard. I have lost all these things for around a couple a months, and then POOF! Out of no where they appear, and of course it doesn't matter as much since I have gotten past the time where I needed them.

(www.eusoulucas.wordpress.com)

But this time it  has switched two items, and I need one back.
My cat, Marvin, has disappeared, leaving our house about a week or two ago and not coming back. I'm pretty sure he's with another family since he's pretty friendly, but then something happened on Saturday to make me think otherwise.
I was digging in the back of my closet trying to find a bag, and as I saw it and grabbed it, I heard something plunk out. Something very familiar. Something that had fallen out of many of my bags and down steps and out of cars.

Guys, it was my phone.
AND I FREAKED OUT!
Naturally, I chucked it back in the closet and ran away, and when  I was sitting on the bus later that morning, I realized why it had appeared.
The universe had made a trade.
After all my pleas for the return of my phone, it finally answered, but took an unwilling victim (MARVIN McNUT) in my phone's place. And so I want to trade again.
But I don't think that is going to happen.
Don't black holes just suck?

Probably the drawing I am most proud of besides my ghost pickle.

Also...

I DRANK SALAD OUT OF A BOTTLE YESTERDAY. AND PRETENDED TO BE A YETI.
Yeah okay now that's all for today.

I've Lost My Phone

Again. For the millionth time.
But phone, I want you to know,
I have lost you so many times. In the park, in an auditorium, in my room (where you are probably hiding now), at my friend's house. You have gotten wet, covered in snow, extremely warm, and have fallen out of my pockets onto what seems to be a never ending staircase.
But you have been there for me. You always eventually revive, even if it takes days. You always leave just enough battery to call or text some one that I need to be picked up before your light blinks out. And I know that it is my fault for not knowing where you are, even though I am racking my brains in order to find you.
You are perfect the awkward way you are, and I could never imagine myself with an iPhone.
Seriously, could you see me with an iPhone? That thing would look like it went through the garbage disposal the same hour I got it. It would have stains that wouldn't come off and be cracked beyond repair and have this new IOS seven thingy that people tell me is horrible but I really don't understand.
So if you read this, phone, please come back. Because I need you.
Really, I do.


Hahahaha, I really just wanted to be random and write this. So I did. But I really wonder where my phone is. So please come back.

Random Next Blog Thing

Sometimes at the top of Blogger it has a "Next Blog" button that allows you to go through a bunch of blogs. However, whenever I click on it I ALWAYS GET BLOGS THAT ARE IN ITALIAN! However much I love Italy and dream of going there someday (and eating my way through each part of the country), I can't read Italian very well. Well, at all. Maybe somehow the internet knows about the book I bought at BAM awhile ago that is supposed to help you with Italian by giving pronunciation with English words and pictures?

(www.gibbssmithcovers.com)

If so, it may get to the point where I'm so afraid of my computer I go live as a hermit on a tropical island. With my (future) pet chicken named Chimichurri and my bassoon Benito Benvolio Bentucci Bertrolli (MAYBE THE INTERNET KNOWS ABOUT THIS TOO?).

Maybe I Am Becoming an Old Person...

Not in just the getting older, because yes, every year I celebrate a birthday (even if last year I sort of forgot about it, A REASON FOR THE TITLE ABOVE). But maybe I'm becoming more elderly and curmudgeonly. (I LOVE THAT WORD!)
I have noticed that:
-I enjoy foods that don't need chewing, such as soup, mashed potatoes, hummus, oatmeal, pudding, ice cream, etc. Further evidence of this is all over this blog.

(www.snottingblack.com)

- As mentioned above, I forget things. Really, it is only short term things, like where I put Ting's (my alter ego) glasses, or the jar of Nutella, or my script. Long term is fine, but usually it's something unusual, like the color of crayon I used the most of when drawing over the walls of my old house (Mac & Cheese).

(www.evolvestar.com)

- I'm annoyed by technology. And I'm slowly refusing to stop learning how to use new ones (which is why my PowerPoint skills are so horrible).

(www.failblog.cheezburger.com)

-I'm beginning to look at younger kids and realize that their childhoods are totally different, and that when I was in fourth grade, I didn't have Hollister jeans or an iPod touch or iPhone. And I miss being a little kid.

(www.magyisawesomer.tumblr.com)

- I am an old man (temporarily when I read a monologue) in a play. They changed it so I was a old lady, but I feel like by being an old man I can be more crotchety (I LOVE THAT WORD TOO!).

(www.jjchalupnik.blogspot.com)

Maybe everyone feels like this and misses being a little kid and is afraid of getting old. Especially when you're in high school. You have no idea what is coming next and are sort of afraid, but you really miss being a little kid and not having to worry about anything like how other people think of you, or your grades, or how your friends are doing, or memorizing lines, or who is going to take you to homecoming.
Do you feel the same way?
Okay, I got to go eat some soup and drink some tea.

Old Blog Post #2

Remember this is from sixth grade...

	Funny Thing My brother said! Tuesday, 6 April 2010, 12:57 PM
	I just wanted to write something my brother said on our vacation. Did you figure it out yet? Anyway, something he said at breakfast. "I underestimated the power of the dippy egg." LOL
