Today started off a little rocky. And it also ended a little rocky. I definatly could have lived without having to go through today. ::sigh:: Nothing good happend today. I started off by getting up on time and all that, but, I as I was walking to school, I slipped and fell on the ice while walking up-hill. Now I have this huge welt and a bruse on my knee. Oh the joy of cola right? Then a rare ocassion came and I actually used the discusting bathroom at school. ICK! I NEVER use the bathrooms at school. I think i've used them like 3 times in the entire 4 years I've been in that school, and today just happend to be one of those times. I was walking out of my stall and my arm scraped really bad on the little thing that the lock goes into. Now I have this red ugly line on my arm thats like 3 inches long. I'm a mess to say the least. I would say the only good thing that happend today is Chad let me play his guitar. it's REALLY nice. That thing costs like 300$! He named it Atticus. LOL! We have this thing around here that all of our guitars have names. Lauren's guitars are named Adam, and Lenore. LOL. When I get one, I'm gonna name it Rzeznik. Guess who it's after? I was also considering naming it Jones after Daniel Jones, but I figure if he ever found out about that, it would creep him out. He even said it scares the hell out of him when kids have his pictures on their bedroom walls. Imagine if he ever found out someone named a guitar after him. So, I'm naming it
Rzeznik. :)
Continuing on with my day, I came home and watched some of my DCS tapes, Then went to my mom's, only to find Andy there. I swear in all thats sacred, I CAN"T STAND THAT GUY!!!!!!!!!! I just wanna charge him and beat the living stuffing out of him. He just makes me so angry!! I really don't like him. Every minute of the time that I'm around him, I just can't stand it. He drives me out of my mind!!! And of course my mom is a door-mat and lets him walk all over her. URRRRGGGHHH! I can't tell you how many times I've just wanted to start swearing at him so much his ears would fall off. But I won't, because 1.dispite how un-mom-like my mom is, I wouldn't do that to her 2. I'm trying to stop swearing, and 3. Since this guy is a complete psychotic idiot, he'd probably take me to court and have me aressted for verbal harassment, and insist that I not see my mom anymore. Stupid fool, I'll beat his @$$ before long.....
anyways, I think I'm gonna go try to finish my book. Oh, Did i mention that I bought Simon Cowell's book? It's called "I don't mean to be rude, but..." I read the introduction so far and it's really good. He really explains himself. I mean, I liked him before because he's speaks the truth and gives people a little reality check. but anyways, im gonna go. Ciao.

::cries:: ::sobs::
I'm so sad. I can't go to see Clay in concert. He's not coming to Connecticut! The closest place he's gonna be is Mass. I have a feeling they're gonna do some re-arranging, or your again in the summer because a lot of people are complaining about it. I might have 2 very small chances of going to the California one, or the Mass one though. But I'm not really counting on it. See, Leslie from work is a Clay fan and she actually has a car and is willing to drive. So I might try to put something together with her. Also, if I can somehow convince my dad to let me fly out to California, I can go see a concert with Jeannette. ::Crosses fingers:: I have to go!!!!!
Well, exmas start next week. I don't ahve to go on Wednesday, or Friday. Yay! 3-day weekend!!!! But i'm pretty much screwed for my psych final cuz tehres no way in hell I'm gonna remember all the stuff thats on the test. I'm glad I got decent grades for both quarters so I don't think I'll do TOO bad if I blow the exam. Math I surprisingly have good feelings about because we can use a cheat sheet on the test. But, I did lousey both quarters so If I do good, my grade still isn't gonna be that good. LOL-exact opposite from psych. The English test I should do okay on. I got A's both quarters so far. (aren't you proud of me Mike?! I got an "A" in an academic class!!) I'm not worried about English at all. (now watch me totally blow it!)
Well, American Idol has been a REALLY interesting competition so far...OMG, it's been horrible. Theres NO talent that has made it in so far. I've only noticed 2, maybe 3 people that I've liked. But It's been really funny though. I can't wait to see how it is when they actually start the competition. So far, they're just showing the auditions. Last season, I think the majority of everyone was pretty good, but this year......Ick. Thats all I gatta say.
I added fanlistings! I know some of them are not working yet. I'll fix it.
Anyways, I think I'm gonna get to bed a little early tongiht cuz I haven't gotten much sleep in the past couple nigts. Bye!
Peace, Love, and CLAY AIKEN!!!!!!!

Well, long time no update huh?
First off....LIKE THE NEW LAY-OUT?!?! Eh?!? Well, let me tell you something.. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!! Incase you're wondering, that dude is Darren Hayes and you can See Daniel Jones in the back and you can sorta see the girl's reflection like in the picture. I took that picture from the "Crash and Burn" video and the "Communicate" thing was a little blurb that they showed durring the video. They just showed random little blurbs that were really cool and I thought that one fit the picture best because he's doing sign language. Some of the other ones were: "Vanity is a call for attention", "We scream to avoid suffering silence", and "We find strength in numbers". there was a couple other ones too. I'm gonna add the "Crash and Burn" song on here, but it's gonna take a couple days because I have to finish downloading the song and get it uploaded onto Angelfire. Im also gonna put up a player because the song is sorta long. But It's a REALLY good song. Hopefully my bandwidth won't exceed from putting it up... I highly reccomend downloading the video for this song. Yes, it's REALLY bizzare and nothing like anything you've seen before, but it's really good. And if you're itnerested, I'll tell you about the whole meaning of the video. This layout was REALLY easy. and it's really cool! It literally took me like an hour and a half to get it completely up and ready. I first took some captures from the Savage Garden videos that came on my DVD, then I picked the one I liked the best and fooled around with the fonts and colors on it and stuff. Then I just typed out all the HTML. Well, most of it I really don't have to type, just copy and paste. But I was so surprised when I copied and pasted my HTML in my template page of my blog editor, I got almost all of the position codes and hex codes exactly right the first time!!! Thats the first time I've ever done that! just a few minor adjusting with positioning and everything was fine! the background color of the tables matches great! Im soooooo happy!!!! All I hope is that Chandra doesn't think I copyed her design...
Anyways, enough about that...
Me and Lauren and Mike (not you Mike, a different Mike. the one that doesn't read this :-) ). Were talking the other day in guitar class and we're thinking of starting a band. It'd be me on keyboards, Mike and Lauren on guitar, and we just need a drummer. The only person I know that plays the drums is my "friend" Tasha. I put friend in quotes cuz we're no exactly friends anymore. Long story. But doesn't that sound cool?! I can do some cool stuff with my keyboard that'd I'd love to show off! LOL.
I came home today to find some great news! The CD I ordered from Borders came in :-D!!! I don't know If I ever mentioned it in here, but I ordered Mitch Hedberg's first CD. It's called "Strategic Grill Locations". Wierd name huh? When I got to pick it up, I'm gonna order his other CD.
CLAY'S TOURING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!! his tour starts next month. He's gonna tour with Kelly Clarkson!!!! i'm SOOOOOOOO HAPPY!!!! ::SQUEAL!!!!!:: the official dates are gonna be announced pretty soon I think.
AND, Guess what?! I MIGHT BE ON TV!!!!!!! YES! Thats right! Lauren may be making her debut on TV!!!! I mean, the chances are very small, but Hey, it's worth hoping right?! Have you all ever heard of this show on ABC Family called "Knock First"? It's kinda like Trading Spaces. And my friend Kristin is gonna send in a form to get her room made over on that show and she put my name on the form to be her friend on the show that helps out with the "make-over"!!!!!!!!!!!! I think I have a reasonable chance because first of all I think Kristin said something about it only being in New England, and let me say, her room does need sort of a make-over. She has picture of horses COVERING her walls. No offense Kristin ;) but I think they may look at that and say "ummm...yeah, thats a little pathetic." Omg, I'm soooo excited! I hope everything works out!
Anyways, Gonna go. Ciao!
Peace, Love, and CLAY AIKEN!!!

Wow. All I can say is Wow. So much happend in the past week it was just....wow.
Let's see. On Monday I went to Foxwoods with my mom and spent the day there. I was proud of myself cuz I only spent 10 bucks in the aracade. Normally I spend soooo much money there. When I got home, I went out for dinner with my dad and went to Strawberry's, Borders, and Best Buy. I got the "Superstars and Cannonballs" DVD. It's a Savage Garden concert DVD. and let me tell you, It's AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! And when I say "amazing" i mean AMAZING. Just watching that concert on my TV was better than any Creed, Goo Goo Dolls, or Backstreet Boys concert I've ever seen. I will NEVER listen to them the same way ever again. I love them so much. Darren Hayes is such an in-depth person. And He's SOOOOOO HOTT!. omg, he's so amazingly hott it's unbelieveable. Expect some caps from the DVD posted on ehre soon. cuz....wow. I've decided I'm gonna write to him and pour my heart out. Hopefully I'll get a responce from him in some form. The best news is, Darren Hayes is coming out with another solo album and is gonna do a WORLD tour instead of Austrailia and Europe. So he's coming here!!!!!!! *squeak!* The best part of the DVD, was when Darren put on his "Elvis" outfit and sang "Chained to you". Sooo funny! Also, the thing they did for "Gunning Down Romance" was really cool. Him and one of the back-up dancers did this really cool thing that looked like something Bruce Lee would do. But it was REALLY cool. I'm never going to listen to them the same way again. They have always been in my top 3 groups of all time, and they were the 2nd group I started listening to, but I just have a whole new outlook on them now. I really pitty anyone who doesn't listen to them or has even taken the time to hear them out. They're so amazing and thei songs mean more than they seem. Yeah, Like I said, expect caps from that DVD REALLY soon. All I know is I figured out what my next lay-out is gonna be about. LOL. I really wish Savage Garden would get back together again. But Darren Hayes solo is alright, but its just not the same. If you alll would do one thing, please, just download ONE of their songs and just listen to it. Just for me. Heres some of my favorite ones:
1. I Want You (the minute i heard this song, i was hooked on them)
2. Carry on Dancing
3. Violet
4. A Thousand Words
5. Affirmation
6. Chained to you
7. The Animal Song(this is a REALLY good song)
8. Crash and Burn (I'd reccomend downloading the video for this one too)
9. Gunning Down Romance
10. Two Beds and a Coffee Machine (another REALLY REALLY REALLY good song)
11. The Lover After Me
12. You Can Still Be Free (you really hear the true potencial of Darren's voice in this one)
Anyways, as far as New Years goes, I didn't really do anything. My party flopped just like I suspected. Rae was the only one that could come. Sam also came over for like 2 hours or so. But me and Rae brought in the New Year by chugging a bottle of martinelli's and listening to Clay sing on MTV. I tell you all, I was in HEAVEN. Plus, before that, There was a WHOLE day of Three Stooges on AMC. They had a marathon on ALL DAY! gues who was watching that! ::points to me and my dad:: Me and Rae also played alot of pool in my freezing cold basement. LOL.
Today I made an accomplishment. I bought a new pair of jeans. But, not just any jeans. Girl's jeans. Wierd huh? I decided that I'm going to change my style a little bit. Im getting a little bit tired of looking like I just got out of bed most of the time. I just walk around in sweat pants most of the time. The jeans I got are low-rise which meant that I had to go up a couple sizes so they would actually fit on my hips instead of my waist. they're not too girly though which was nice. They came with this Elvis-like belt and a pocket chain. I still haven't decided if I'm actually gonna keep them yet. I might return them. I have to get used to them first. I dunno, I just feel so wierd about. I mean, Being someone I'm not and dressing how I don't want to is something I wouldn't EVER want to get used to, but im definatly gonna start looking a little "nicer" if you wanna say it that way.
Anyway, I'm gonna go take some Savage Garden caps ;)
Ciao!
Peace, Love, and Clay Aiken.
Btw all! Check out who signed my tagboard!!! LOL.I wonder if it's really him....
"I believe the sun should never set upon an argument"-Darren Hayes
