Say Anything - Alive With The Glory Of Love |
] |
So, like a million amazing things have happened to me lately:
1) I passed my road test.
2) I met THE MOST AMAZING PEOPLE at college orientation.
3) Snakes Like Converse got asked by a booking agent to play a show in NYC in October.
4) An article on SLC will also be published in three semi-local news papers so WATCH OUT for that!
5) WARPED tour is next week- we will be giving our demo to TAI and every other fueled by ramen band ever.
It's late right now- and i feel underwhelmed about all this great stuff right now. but i am excited for sure.
moving on- has anyone reading this seen that show, "Make me a Supermodel" ?
I never watched it, but I was on youtube earlier and happened to watch a clip with this little number in it:
WHY HAVEN'T I HEARD ABOUT THIS GORGEOUS BOY BEFORE??
also, THIS:::
KIND OF RIGHT UP MY ALLY MUCH!? YESMMM.
So yeah- Casey Skinner is pretty much fucking hot in every way. and Perry is also relatively good looking.
that's about it. it's late.
I'll post the lyrics to SLC's new song on here soon- they're fucking ACE if i do say so myself.
OH! also, GO SEE THE DARK KNIGHT. I've seen it twice in the past 14 hours and would see it again now if i could. it's fucking brilliant.
peace kids.
P.S. i'm writing this from my college laptop. the right mouse key is already broken. seems about right.

i feel like i'm very rarely honest with myself anymore.
i work so hard at trying to keep myself happy that my more important responsibilities have been falling by the wayside.
i'm not sure what to do about any of this. i guess feeling this way is a normal part of being 18, but i really wish it wasn't.
i wish i could just take things in stride instead of always obsessing and worrying.
the subject of medication has come up with my therapist and mother again. i don't want fucking pills for my brain, but they haven't let the subject drop for the past two years.
my SAD has never been bad enough to need meds, but the summer always makes it worse.
my new room gets no sun which isn't helping.
i wish i could disappear sometimes. no matter how good things get a little part of me will always feel like this.

if a camera's only as good as the photographer behind it,
then a life is only as great as the person who guides it.
so i think i'm actually sick.
i woke up this morning at 5:30 with a horrible soar throat. i went to the bathroom and brushed my teeth until my gums bled. i then gargled three caps of mouth wash. now i'm spitting up phlegm and coughing. i feel like i just read this book like, three weeks ago. i JUST got over strep last month. i woke up again at 9:30 because of that fucking dream. i was so creeped out i couldn't sleep.
i wanted to go wake my mother up when i woke up the first time, but i could hear the kids moving around above me and she's all the way upstairs now.
it made me feel small and lonely.
now it's storming like a mother fucker. is it storming in kisco?
my head kills and i feel like i'm gonna vomit. i'm home alone now.
justin keeps texting me and i kind of want him to leave me alone. i don't know.
i'm hungry, but there's no food in the house because my mother's still not used to shopping for six people.
i'm 121 lbs as of this morning. i don't know where that other 7 pounds of me went in the past month. i don't care.
i don't know what's wrong with me lately.
the storm clouds are the sky today
there's no difference between the ground and rain
the trees won't speak in the midst of this mist
they never know what to say.

I had the most fucked up dream last night.
i tried to draw it when i woke up, but i didn't want to risk having my drawings override my dream so i stopped. i couldn't get it right anyway.
( dream under a cut because it's hellishly long + poorly written. )
that was fun. i feel sick.

there are a few things i wanna mess with ( like the annoying way the mood/music thing is in the fucking center of my page ) but, whatever. i'll do it later.
livejournal is so much harder to code for then what i remember.
uploading the moodtheme took me a serious hour. i haven't done it in years. waste of time? maybe. but i feel accomplished. :)
alright- so i'm gonna go write some music.

On Saturday, the three remaining members of Snakes Like Converse will be taking a train into the city to meet up with some of their fans for a picnic in Saint Mark's Park.
I'm not kidding.
Our band has fans that want to hang out with us and make us sandwiches.
I've also been networking a lot on myspace and I feel confident in saying that Snakes Like Converse is now officially friends with the lead singer of the band LUKAS.
Not only is LUKAS an amazing Australian band, but the lead singer is an 'in real life' friend of our very own Michael Guy Chislett, the Aussie guitarist of The Academy Is...
Can you seriously fucking believe this?
Also? SLC is DOMINATING the The Academy Is... cover song contest on youtube. We have multiple Santi fans on our myspace.
ALSO? My mother and Lindy's mother have finally agreed to let us pool our money and buy a mac book so we can FINALLY download 'garage band' and remake our demo to give to The Academy Is... at Warped.
ALSO ALSO ALSO? I finished my last day of High School today. Hello college. Hello stardom.

The show went so amazingly i want to have sex with the experiance.
performing was fantastic. i couldn't really hear myself over the guitars ( we had like 2 minutes of prep time on stage ) but it's fucking fine.
last night marked the first time i've felt satisfied in...years. seriously.
i'm so fucking satisfied it's ridiculous.
we sold a bunch of demos. people like...actually WANTED our demo. it made my head spin.
we jumped up almost 800 page views on our myspace since yesterday morning.
"if you need more time, bring bombs" jumped up about 30 + plays since this morning.
a girl contacted SLC today through our myspace saying she got a hold of our demo at the club and was bummed she didn't see us play because she thought we were great.
we made friends with another band there- 'sounds children make'. i went up to the singer at the bar after their set and told her she had a fantastic voice. she was so friendly and admitted to going to our myspace all the time just to listen to our music. i was really flattered :)
they're pretty popular so they seem like a really good band to make friends with.
i'm really hoping to put together a half-formed 'tour' with them over the summer ( AKA, renting a van of some kind and playing clubs with them every couple of days )
it's just an idea, but if we could round up 2 more bands in a similar situation then i really think we could do something.
i wish playland still has a battle of the bands. damn- it would have been right at the beginning of the summer.
fuuuuuuuuuuck. i don't want to do school anymore. i'm so done- i just want to perform forever and ever and never go to school ever again.
lindy and gabe crashed at my house last night and we all slept till noon today and played hookie. it was kind of fantastic. we made eggs this morning.
anyway- i'm sure there's more i want to say, but i'm tired and kind of not looking forward to finishing my AP art pieces, so i'm going to take a shower and go to bed.
i'll leave you all with some videos of us performing.
I FUCKING LOVE MY LIFE
Summer's Lifeline-
My Heart Is The Worst Kind of Weapon ( FOB cover ) -

our fourth song didn't get taped at all, so that's :(
but......WHATEVER :D
SLC will be performing at Fox Lane High School later this month. come by and give us some love if you're in the area.
G'night snakey dudes and dudettes.

Tomorrow Snakes Like Converse performs before hundereds at The Knitting Factory in NYC.
There aren't words for how excited I am.
We have to be at the club by 9:30 for soundcheck- then the rest of the day will be spent chilling with bands until it's our time to play.
I feel like I'm finally ready to break free.
I'm living the life I want.
I'm done living the way I have been.
Tomorrow's going to be fucking fantastic.

I Wish I Had a Murmur in My Ear and Not My Chest.
Everyone gets lonely sometimes,
but puns don't keep you warm at night,
and words don't make the sun shine.
I can't make the dark stop or the day start
with a trick of my tongue,
or a witty phrase.
I can never be anchored by
words with no weight.
I'm just a kid without pasts,
only hopes for tomorrow.
I'm too old for this shit
but too young to know it.
I write what gets written
but what I live get's forgot,
through eighteen years of waking
with thunder in my heart.
That whispers when I sleep
and screams when I take
what I want back from those
who created my face
then robbed my cradle of
every saving grace
that kept me from seeing God too soon
and leaving you too late.
But I don't think I'd miss you,
because I'm too tired.
I run on solar power,
so I'm not hardwired
to love and cherish what leaves without warning.
I'm sorry,
but i won't miss you 'till the morning.
-----------
first poem i've written in a long time. kind of a relief.
maybe.
the title's kind of my favorite part.
