-I went to Kayak point today! It was really fun. but I miss east coast beaches.
I might be going tomorrow too.
I was there all day, so I have no crazy news stories or rants... =/
Although I ripped my shirt while I was there. The strap on my cami decided to go crazy and break free from the rest of it.
haha. Connecticut IN 10 DAYSSSS!! haha. i did that consonant thing.
I really need another news story. I'm likin' how my news commentary is going. even though only one of my friends read it.
Oh. and the link on my post about killing mockingbirds is blocked by myspace, so just google it.
Crappy Post! sorry. its late. gotta cheer up a friend. goodnight

Summer Post #4: This Post really is useless.
Today, I already re-coded my myspace profile, filled in the about me thing with pictures and some sort of lame intro to me. I took forever.
Then I posted a bulliten about whyyy girls add extra consonants to theirrr wordssss. I guess I kinda knewww, but I just wanteddd to see what peopleee would sayyy.
Kay, I'm done talking like that now.
This post is going downhill really fast. I'm not really expecting it to turn out well anyway.
Nope, no rants about the Dinsey Chanel, no talking about unfair trials. nope.
Buttttt. Happy birthday shoutout to my mom's friend, Sandy.
Goodnight!

Summer Post 3: This is what Happens when You Wake up at 2pm. (I really Like what I say in this one)
...You have a complete lack of inspiration for the entire day.
And now I'm not tired at all.
I was going to write about some connection I made, but it doesn't seem as cool now.
______________________________________________________________________
Nothing new musically, I'm broke.
I need to learn how to parallel park correctly before next Tuesday. I can't always get it on the first try.
I got my hair cut, it looks kinda cute =)
I have an idea for a photoshop project. I can see it looking really cool in my head...I just gotta start it. You know me, it'll be a photography project. I hope it comes out good. If you've seen the cover of that book I made freshman year, for english, its the same concept. But realistic, obviously. Two photos as one, the mirror scene thing, two different people. I'm feeling a bit personality-disorder-ish. I'm happy I'm a Gemini, I can just blame astrology for everything. My super hyper/lazy sides, my really deep/comedian sides, my cynicism/belief in good in people, my eternal smiling optimism/dark pessimism. If you really want, I can explain it better, but you'll see when it's done. But I first gotta find a mirror. I wrote that chunk about my oppisite-ness in the middle of this paragraph. awkward writing flow. sorry.
woo. time to sound a bit happier!
I can't stand highschool sterotypes in pop culture.
It's driving me a bit nuts.
random connection to literature?!?!?! (LOF specifically made me think of this) I mean, I guess certain "Types" of people can be shown (connection came up from leadership of that one kid whose name is escaping me, Piggy's rationality, etc) (if you've read the book, I hope you know what I'm talking about) , but I'd prefer if these one-dimensional character types weren't on the Disney Channel. All of the popular girls are rich bitches, all of the Jocks are dumb, and all of the nerds get thrown into trash cans. Can we show that people aren't just a label. Not that this would have any value if it was alligory-ish (i think that's the lit term...) This channel is targeted at kids in middle school mostly, and I think that's why freshmen are the way they are. Not to be a total hypocrite and throw all freshmen into a category, but a lot of youngies seem to believe in the sterotypes I outlined above, keeping them in their same social circles they've established since 7th grade.
hmm, after that little rant... I've deduced that It's not just Middle School that ruins kids (friend o' mine said that...and I guess I believe it), but its the message that is somehow given to them, saying that they belong in a certain clique, this clique is destined to hate certain other cliques, and for some reason, there is no leaving the established clique. That is, until you grow the eff up.
THEREFORE, I BLAME MAINSTREAM MEDIA.
(and the rap music, lmao)
as I commonly mention in conversations about conformity:
"All of the kids who don't want to conform get together, shop at the same stores, listen to the same crappy music, and end up looking exactly the same."
This is what happens when you let Kori watch the Disney Channel.
One thing I do want to know though, is how do cliques start, really? we go from all being friends in our little classes of 25 in elementary school, to being middle schoolers who think we know everything, who somehow end up hanging out only with our best friends, and eventually wage war on those who once were our friends.
Personal connection: Yeah, i was a really lame middle schooler who talked to no one, but when I went to 6th grade, I can't really remember any good friends who I made who went to other elementary schools.
____________________________________________________________________
OKAY, now that a ton of my friends think I've lost it... I'm going to stop here.
wow. that was a bit weird to say the least.
And now I'm not tired at all.

Summer Post #2: Killing Mockingbirds
Yeah. My reference to "To Kill A Mockingbird" is a bit drastic, and is getting old really fast, I'm sure, but I need to write more fully about this.
BUT FIRST, Small Matters.
--I forgot a goal yesterday, I need at least 3 more girls for the softball team thing.
--I actually have something to write about today, yay me.
--Since when do I feel so opinionated?
OK, ON TO THE STORY
Yeah, I know it's late, and I probably won't finish this post by midnight, so fail-a-palooza for me.
So, Please excuse any poor grammar, spelling mistakes, etc. I'm tired. But I'll try.
For the first time in a while, I am writing for a purpose other than to say what I've done today.
I read an artice on ESPN online (yeah, I don't even read ESPN mag, I was thrown towards the article by someone I hold respect for.) http://tinyurl.com/nxy6rl <---- Yeah, there it is.
Basically, this guy, Eric Frimpong, has been convicted of raping some girl. I think the evidence in this case sucks, and that there is no way that this guy is, as we say, "Guilty beyond reasonable doubt." What ever happened to "Innocent Until Proven Guilty"? Regardless if Eric actually is guilty, there is nowhere near enough evidence to have him thrown in jail for 6 years. The victim had a BAC of somewhere between .29 and .34, and had lapses of memory. There was no DNA evidence from Eric on the victim, and the entire thing seemed a bit fishy to me. Not to play the racisim card, but he's an immigrant from Ghana, here to play soccer. He has little monetary resources, and his jury of peers was 9 white women and 3 white men.
This thing seems a bit old, but I just learned about it, and there'll be an artice in the next issue of ESPN mag, so I thought I'd share.
Yeah, I'll be researching this a lot more and trying to follow it, but another question:"Why the hell have I not heard about this until today?" Doesn't it need a little more coverage?
Well, I'll wrap this up here. I don't care if he really is guilty or not (well, I guess I do, but...) he deserves a fair trial, which I don't think took place here.

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.
-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
