Summer Post #1: Goals

So, the first post of this one-a-day journal thing. I guess some of my friends might read this, cuz I'm way to lazy to un-sync it from facebook, And I will copy it to Myspace, just cuz I like to.

Oh! before I actually get going, I want to share that I bought 3 albums yesterday:

One that came out today, (yeah, it said July 7th, but I bought it at like 11:50 something) One that came out 2 weeks ago, and one that came out a few months after I was born...hehe.

--Nothing Personal (All Time Low)

--Octahedron (The Mars Volta)

--Big Ones (Aerosmith)

I usually don't buy nearly this much music in one day, either, so its a big thing.

My comments:

Nothing Personal: Actually, I didn't like this as much as I thought I would. Then again, the last All Time Low album I bought took a while to grow on me, so maybe I'll like this one later.

Octahedron: Really interesting. I didn't even know The Mars Volta until a friend brought them up in a spontaneous conversation, and then it took a while for me to like their stuff, so I only knew 4 or 5 songs by them before I bought it, but I like it a lot.

Big Ones: Should I even have to say anything about this one? Aerosmith, and some of their best stuff. I really don't know why I never bought this album before. I knew all of the songs, I guess I wanted to steal the CD from my dad and I kept forgetting, so I just spent $7 (for 15 songs, may I add.) Favorite songs: Angel, Love in an Elevator, Livin' On the Edge. Might change though, once I listen to the ones I didn't know as well before.

Yeah, I just looked at my reflection of All Time Low's new album, then looked at the songs I had by them, and decided that I'd pay $3 for the rest of their album Put Up or Shut Up. And I already like it better than this new one... but I do have to give it a chance.

Oh, and Yes, I do like overrated-sorta-crappy-pop-punk bands. Let me be!!!

Obviously, if you know me at all, you know I don't limit myself to one genre, so you can't judge me. =P

NOW, ONTO WHAT I WANTED TO WRITE IN THE FIRST PLACE.

ya'know, this is why I never finish anything, I find other things more interesting and go back to them and do unnecessary work on them, I could have just told you that I bought new music, but noooo, I had to go into unnecessary detail about things you don't care about, and now I'm rambling, wonderful.

...

you see, I wrote the below sentence before I wrote all of the above crap.

...

...

Well, this is my first post, so I want to set out some goals for myself.

I'm am NOWHERE near a goal-setting type of person, either, so this can get tough.

Goals for this summer:

-Actully post once a day like I said I would

-Get My Driver's Licence
-Go to Connecticut and have an amazing time.

-Learn to play guitar better

-Hang with Sio while in CT

-See a friend other than just Kate while in CT

-Do my summer homework =)

-Do something I've never done before

-Draw things

-Take a lot of photos

-Make new friends

Wow. That's really boring.

Well, they're realistic.

It's My Destiny...Probably.

Hmm. This summer is not going very well. I guess its ok, but I haven't really left the house...except to go to my mom's friend's house. Not that its bad or anything, but really. I need to get out more. BUT, I'm getting my driver's licence soon! Hello, Free Will. And not that song by Rush. Is that a song by Rush? I really have no idea, but I've got a gut feeling.



So. Summer has been boring. Anyone reading this should hang out with me.



(Ok, I'm watching YGOTAS (I'll explain later) and I think I'll need therapy after what I just saw.)



Well...Its my first post since the beginning of summer, Ive planned on posting several times before this, but I haven't gotten around to it. But seeing as I'm bored as hell, I might as well write about it.

HOW I'VE BEEN KEEPING MYSELF ENTERTAINED

-Talking to Siobhan for hours on end, usually involving me waking up at 4 A.M.

-Watching Yu-Gi-Oh. I loved this show when I was younger, and now I've seen every one of the 300-some-odd episodes. I feel like telling the world about this accomplishment.

-Watching Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series... ok, it sounds nerdy and dumb, cuz it is, but its one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Go, Watch, Be Happy.

-Doing absolutely nothing. I'll work on that.


~~My Idea~~

My summer should be getting a lot more exciting soon. So I want to write at least one new blog post every day. YES, EVERY DAY. Seeing as my last post was like a month ago, this will be hard for me. But one post/day. yepp.

I have no idea what I'll write about every day, but I'll find something. Even if that something is a sentence or so long.

And then I'll copy it to MySpace, and FB if its "note"-worthy (pun intended.)

No one besides sio and nikki read my blogs anyway.

Sio, Sio, Sio.

Siobhan. That is all I can say.

As you know, she is my step sister. And she is a pretty cool person (for a freshman jk). And I love her. But today, she got on my nerves. (and she's totally cool with me sharing this, it's one of those sister-ly things...we can share why we hate eachother)

EXHIBIT A.
she likes to steal my friends. (she is know friends with at least 8 of my personal friends, but I'm only friends with 2 of hers)

EXHIBIT B.
She steals my fan-doms. (weird wording there.) but you would understand if I told you the whole story.

EXHIBIT C.
She does not like the way I speak whale (another long story) We spoke back and forth in whale for at least an hour today. and I am totally better at it than her.

EXHIBIT D.
She makes orange soda come out of my nose (and ears, and mouth, and eyes) . twice.

This had to be short because sio wanted a post and this one is dedicated to her.
And its automatically posted to facebook in all of its hastily-written goodness.

Adios

4 day weekend!

Well, I've been feeling terrible lately. So I stayed home on Friday. And there's no school tomorrow. So yay! 96 hours without a thought of school. I still have to work on homework and such, but I'll get to it.

I'm watching this really weird movie where this guy is being followed by a truck...It's a little creepy. and the entire time, my mom is like "Kori, can you feel the tension?" Yes, mom, I feel the tension.

NEW PHONE
I got a new phone! I think its called "etenity" or something like that. (at this very moment, the music in the movie is freaking me out) Whatever, It's a touch screen phone by samsung; I got unlimited internet too =] It's pretty much amazing. And the guy at the AT&T store was extremely nice. He showed me a few tricks with the phone and gave me an amazing website for free ringtones. (now, the guy in the movie is doing a v/o thing and talking to himself.)

~MY LAPTOP WANTS TO KILL ME~
It does. Every time I put it down, It admisters electric shock therapy. I'm totally serious here. Maybe its because of our new rug, but when I get up out of the recliner chair, I get these somewhat painful shocks through my hands where I'm holding the laptop. If I'm wearing my earbuds, I'll get them in my ears too. Not fun at all.

I'm going to continue to watch the freaky movie. adios.

SICK!

See the title. I feel like crap. I was at Krissi's a while ago and I had this terrible coughing fit then
I started seeing spots. Fun eh?

I have to sign up for new classes. Weee. I have no idea what I want to take next year. I'm torn between a ton of AP classes, and I sorta wanna take them all, but I don't want to overload myself. I'll get through it though. =]

I'm currently watching MacGyver and eating potato chips. Can't get much better than that. Imma go to bed early, then do my small amount of homework when I get up tomorrow.

Adios,

Kori!

California, Music, Spanish, and Jeopardy

Not enough time to write a good post, but I'll try

California- David's there for a week, doing umpire stuff.

Music- A friend of mine made a random comment about what he was listening to when another friend asked him, and I was thinking "they're ok". Then I went home and re-checked them out, and I sorta like them now. hmm. Thankies!

Spanish- I got two people to join! yay! see ya'll at the meeting tomorow!

Jeopardy-I beat my super-smart stepdad at it two days in a row! And I'll never let him forget it =]

I'm watching MacGyver-yay!

My lawyer made me change the name of this post so I wouldn't get sued

Yeah, I made a reference to Fall Out Boy. (does anyone listen to them anymore?)

So, I just added this blog URL to my moodle page on a school website. Maybe I might actually get one view! Not that it really matters to me anyway. It's good to just be able to write about anything for a while. As far as I know, this cannot get me in trouble in any way at school. I mean, there is a space for "My Webpage" on the profile thingie, and there is nothing here that i wouldn't want anyone to read. So that's my case. This was really the only webpage that I figured was completely under my control. I mean, my twitter is useless for the average non-nerdy web surfer, and my facebook and youtube pages are subject to the commenting of others. So is this, but no one other than my friends and those with a link can really get here. So yeah, if you're from moodle, that's why you're here. =]

The downside to this is that I have to post more than I do because I might get followers. Although I proably won't.


So, let's talk about someting slightly more interesting, shall we?



My life at the moment (broken into several categories):

(and if you're wondering, I put emphasis on the word "slightly" because my life is only something slightly more eventful than my blog).

• School: Hmm. nothing extremely interesting worth noting. Business as usual. Second semester is underway, and I'm officially a "moodle tutor". We're starting a debate unit in English, and I'm totally pumped. Sounds super-fun.
• Softball: Off-Season. Practice. 6:00 am to 7:00 on tues. and thurs. and the occasional wednesday night and the weekly saturday morning tennis ball shooting sessions.
• Music: Nothing new. Same old, same old. Everything gets a bit boring after a while. I still love all genres, but I don't know what to buy. my library has nearly 2,000 songs, my shopping cart is full, and I even have iTunes money, but I don't know what to buy. I need something new, interesting, something that I've never heard of before. Maybe I'll start checking out even smaller name stuff.
• Friends: Awesome, as always. New members of spanish club are on the way! (and I won't let them forget it.)
• Family: The usual. Eat. Sleep. Watch Jeopardy. Tell Kori to do her homework and clean her room.
• Fads: (I 'm on a roll with the F's.) Memorizing pi. Guitar playing. Sleep. Trying to get my hair to look good and failing.
• Future: No Idea. What else is new really? But that's ok. I've got choices. I never was a very decisive person, but options are nice.

That's it? wow. I'm boring.

In my first post, I said to e-mail me at Koriographer@verizon.net . i lied. Don't do that. I will never check that e-mail address. So write to Kori530@verizon.net instead. I'd love to hear from you!
