Basically I’m twenty-one years old. I live in Vancouver, Canada and one day hope to make it into graphic design or become involved in the fashion or music industry.

Alright, so I realize that I totally suck and haven't wrote in here in forever. But whatever. I'm doing it now aren't I? I mean there hasn't really been anything all that interesting to write about. I guess the only thing I've really been doing lately is going to work and sitting at home either watching TV or sitting in front of my computer. Really exciting right? Well actually my watching TV is more likely sitting in front of the computer watching all the shows that I taped since I'm at work when all of my favorite TV shows are usually on. That's what sucks about working until 9:30 at night.
Oh and I guess I can talk about Pete Wentz and his whole #abracadabra thing. I know how Pete loves his viral marketing campaign things and to be honest I kinda love them too. They are all together just entertaining and I don't have a clue how he comes up with half the stuff he does. Anyways as far as I know he was advertising for the FOB Greatest Hits Album which is due out in November and despite the fact that I've actually got all of their albums, yes even take this to your grave. I kinda love that one to be honest. Anyways.... I'll probably end up getting that as well because apparently it's supposed to have two bonus tracks and yes I'm gonna spend my money on two bonus tracks because when I actually really like I band I actually want to support them and buy their music. This is the reason that I have wayyyy too many CD's. I too guilty to download so basically I just spend wayyyy too much money. But the thing is I guess I could buy from iTunes and that shit but I really hate just having a digital version of something and as lame as it sounds I always love reading who they thank in the booklet. Lame? Yes. But sometimes it's kinda fun. Also it's kinda nice to have the lyrics because I know that sometimes you just sit there and try and figure out what the hell someone is saying in a song and you can never figure it out for the life of you. But basically I can't wait for the FOB Greatest hits because it has the Alpha Dog song on it and I absolutely love that song. It was on the FOB mixtape, which of course was from another one of Pete's genuis marketing campaigns. I really hope Lake Effect is on the Greatest Hits album because that song was amazing. Honestly, but http://www.alphadogandomegalomaniac.com/ is the link to the promotional site for it. So basically if you haven't already heard Alpha Dog there is a short little clip on there. It's purely an epic song.Also while I'm on my little Pete Wentz kick I've gotta say first off I'm totally sad that they are going on a hiatus. All the good bands always go on hiatus' and it sucks. But as long as they actually do end up coming out with another album in the future I'll be happy. They haven't broken up so thats a good sign I guess. But Mark Hoppus totally shaved Pete's head at the last show that FOB did with Blink at Madison Square Gardens and dear lord he looks so weird. Before you go all freaky on me he isn't bald or anything. He's just got the same hair he had back in the Take This To Your Grave days, maybe a bit shorter but whatever. It's just hair and it will grow back. Personally I think he looks way better with the long hair as emo or whatever as it is.
Anyways let's talk about something other than Pete Wentz shall we? Maybe Paramore? Yes. I love their song Ignorance, honestly it's one of those songs that everyone can really relate to. Like the whole 'you treat me just like another stranger' type thing is totally something that I've gone through. You know how you've been like best friends with someone forever and then one day they just walk past you in the hallway and pretend that they don't have any idea who you are? Yeah, I've experienced that a lot in my life time. I guess girls are just bitches to put it quite frank. One day someone tells them not to like you anymore and obviously they do just that and pretend like all of those years that you were best friends didn't mean a damn thing. There were times when you knew absolutely everything about this person and they knew absolutely everything about you. But then the phone calls just stop and then there is just this really fast drifting away phase. Suddenly they act like they don't know you and they don't even give a shit about you. And honestly I've probably experienced this at least three times throughout my life. Maybe this is why I just tend to not get too close to people anymore. Because I know that it's just bound to happen again. Maybe it's pessimistic or whatever but I just seem to find that not getting as close to people anymore just helps in that way. I mean I used to have friends that I would go to their house everyday or vice versa. But I honestly haven't had a friend like that for at least four or five years. Hah this is kinda turning out to be slightly depressing right? So let's leave this post off on a good note. Cobra Starships video for Hot Mess is coming out soon! I can't wait to see it, I totally love that song and they just finished shooting it last night. I'm sure it's gonna be totally awesome.
Currently Listening To: Ignorance by Paramore 2 comments
Aww! I kinda get what you mean though. You obviously know Jordan and I used to be like best of pals...we hardly even talk anymore and...we don't ignore each other when we pass but it's just like a "hey" and "oh hi" and that's it. It's kinda weird really.
I have it happen to me with people I just met too. Which is not as bad but still. Like Annie, I met her during res orientation and then we didn't see each other for couple of days during faculty orientation...now she just walks past me like she doesn't even know me.

yup. exactly. i hate it when people do that. it just pisses me off. i mean it's like you know someone for years and then all the sudden it's like you were never actually friends and it just sucks.
