Updates: Media (lyrics) has a new layout. I could never figure out how to lay it out, but it's easier to navigate now. I'm still working on a better duplicate Mamblog mod. I'm trying to make submittions easier but the poetry form died for some reason. Quizzes are also on their way from the old site. Joomla content isn't very code friendly so I'm having to rewrite old code. You can still click on News > AH v21 > Screen if you wish to use the quizzes.
HAHAHA on "Girlfriend" they have Avril blowing into a beer bottle because it was like the same note as the music and she happened to be blowing into a beer bottle while listening to the song. If you haven't seen the bonus DVD for The Best Damn Thing YOU HAVE TO WATCH IT! It's hillarious.
I'M SO FUCKING DEPRESSED!! I don't know what to do with myself so I hung up a bunch of clothes that were collecting at the end of my bed, then I decided to wash all my linen because what better thing is there to do at 11:30pm? I have to be up at 7:30am. My therapy appointment was rescheduled to tomorrow. That may have put me down a bit too. I was really looking forward to showing her my pointe shoes and my skirt for the wedding. Speaking to my mother about it makes me angry and depressed and I'm already less than functional.
I finally got to listen to the whole Avril Lavigne CD today. TV was just so not a good background distraction so while I was typing up the lyrics (which I finished by the way and will get them posted as soon as I'm up to it) I had the CD playing. In the whole scheme of things, it's a great CD. There's just those little bits and pieces of almost every song that drive me nuts, like WHAT WERE YOU THINKING??? I was surprised to see the Eragon song on this CD. I thought that was just for that soundtrack like some of the others she's done, like Princes Diaries 2 for example. That song didn't end up on any CDs of hers.
I want to put a dark pink streak in my hair like hers ;-) I think it looks cool. My hair is a little more blond than her NATURAL color and I'm not willing to bleach it like she did so I don't know that the pink will look as good in my hair as it does in hers. I also need to get some of the stuff she uses to make her hair smooth like that. I hate not curling it under at the ends because it just doesn't look as "styled" as hers does if I don't.
Okay, I'm going to go. I'm getting that DOOM feeling again.
I'm such an idiot. My pointe shoes came in today. They're beautiful, so exciting, I wish I could actually dance in them. I SOOO wanted to not tell anyone until showed them to my therapist, she knows I'm excited about them and always makes me feel like I'm not totally weird. I just HAD to tell someone though, i just couldn't control myself. I KNEW if I showed them to my mother she wouldn't react properly and I'd feel totally upset about the encounter later. I WAS SO RIGHT. I'm such an idiot. I expect her to act "normal" but she never does and I'm always disappointed. Now I can't wait to see my therapist tomorrow to show them to her. I'm waiting for "padding" and other things to come in before I can really see if the shoes fit properly so I can't sew ribbons on or elastics because then you can't return them. I even put them on with regular nylons because the the other company I was working with (but no longer) sent me the wrong size and I can't find my receipt and they didn't even email my receipt. There's also no way to go in and check what I actually ordered so I'm kinda stuck. I KNOW I didn't order mediums, I'm not dumb. I'm so sick of my orders being screwed up. It's such a hassle and ends up costing me more money in shipping.
I was at work alone for like four hours today. My sister's in Cabo and my mother was home, then had an appointment. When she came in at 4:15 all I wanted was for her to STOP TALKING, but she continued to talk until I got up and left at 5:27.
Avril Lavigne's CD came today, The Best Damn Thing, anyone else have it? I started typing out the lyrics for the site but only got four or five songs finished. It's pretty good. I really like some songs and others are semi annoying. The really good ones all seem to have a really bad verse or bridge or whatever it's called, I don't write music. One of the songs has a small part where they say "Give me an A" [some more words] "v, very..." "R,..." and they sound like a cheerleading squad spelling out the name of their mascot or something. The rest of the song is good, there's just that one part. Then that song from Eragon is on it, which surprised me. I haven't listened to it loud, on a good sound system but I hopefully will tomorrow or something. I'm not in the mood for loud ANYTHING right now. Peace and quiet. Anyhow, I'll have the lyrics posted at some point, hopefully very soon. I have all this time at work where no one's there and there's nothing for me to do. I spend it either twiddling my thumbs or typing out these lyrics.
I wish I could eat candy all the time like those people with super fast metabolism that's only made faster by all the sugar they eat, therefore making them naturally, unfairly, skinny. I'm sitting here eating rice cakes for lunch & dinner and I still have to work my butt off to be thin. Candy is not part of that plan. I have a craving for something really sugary like Starburst or red licorice or something. Mashed potatos (just add water) will have to do for today.
Avril Lavigne is on Lucky magazine this month, looking gorgeous as ever. I love the little pink streak(s), very subtle but I'd love to do that to my hair. I wear black nail polish most of the time, sometimes I'll leave it off if I can't maintain it, but I got the tip from Avril actually to use a black Sharpie to touch up. Of course it isn't "permanent" on nails but for an evening out if you don't have time to redo your nails, it definitely does the trick.
I'm totally not a Shia LaBeouf fan so I didn't watch SNL from the beginning tonight. I never watch it unless there's someone I really like on it. I turned it on right when they were doing "The Dakota Fanning Show" and Avril Lavigne actually had a part in the skit! It was really short but she did good. She played Dakota's little sister. Yay! I think Avril's singing next. They just showed her standing in front of her microphone like she's waiting for commercials to be over. She looked antsy or nervous or something. I imagine the show being LIVE puts some huge pressure on. Eeewww the background singers sound AWFUL! It only sounds good when she's singing alone, the background singers are totally flat or something. Her band isn't even there, they're totally different people. That's probably why, they're all OLD compared to her. Okay I had to change the channel, it was THAT bad. Background singers can really screw up a good thing.
OMG SHE'S ON AGAIN! This is a new song too. It's pretty good. She doesn't sing with a lot of ...emotion. But once again, the background singers are kinda flat. Just like Girlfriend there's a really bad part in this song, that just sounds stupid and it could have done without. At the end of the song she made a little annoyed/thank god it's over look. She's definitely not your typical performer. Maybe she knows her background singers and SNL band suck so she's nervous. Like "oh god we suck and it's on LIVE TV". I wonder where her band is.
And it's over. Thank god. That's why I hate SNL. It takes really awsome people and makes them look really really bad.
I love Stacy London & Clinton Kelly (sp's?) on What Not To Wear. They just had on a behind the scenes episode and they are so funny. I always wondered about Stacy's gray streak in her hair, like was that some sort of style thing or what? It makes her look much older when it shows and you never knew what was up with it because sometimes it was there and sometimes it wasn't. Luckly I'm not the only one wondering and she said on this show that she's had it since she was 11 or 12! That sucks! Can you imagine having a grey streak in elementary school? I wonder why that happened, though it could have easily been dyed all/most of her life until she was older and it wasn't like a weird thing. I don't know why anyone would wonder if Stacy & Clinton are an "item," Clinton is so gay, either he isn't comfortable telling the world or he hasn't come out of the closet. Maybe his parents are old school so he's keeping it from them, or maybe he's telling himself he isn't but ... he totally is. He's girly, not because he likes fashion and shopping and everything, but because he has...feminine qualities *wink* he's totally funny but come on, THE WORLD WILL UNDERSTAND, in fact they'll probably like him better for it.
My fittings came in from Gaynor Minden today: 8.5M/4-221-22. I don't know what 4-221-22 refers to but I should have my pointe shoes next week provided they get them out quickly. They said when I'm up on pointe (...uh huh) I "should be able to pinch a 1/4in at the top of the heel." Hopefully this pair will just fit and that will be that.
I watch Intervention every week on A&E, it's just interesting. It's mostly drugs and alcohol. It drives me nuts because like tonight the mother's crying through the whole thing and they all sat at the dinner table and told him "what he's doing to himself" and it's such bullshit because like that ever works. It just pisses the person off and they walk out, go home whatever. All this woman does is cry. Every scene she's in she's crying. Apparently the guy's seen the show, that's how he knows what's gonna happen. He took off his microphone and told the producer he wouldn't have any part of it. I'd be like I don't want to hear what you have to say, I'll just go to get away from you guys. I wouldn't sit to hear all that shit. OMG he just went out the window and took off running. It's definitely a different episode than most others. The police are present at this one. They caught him...nice try heh. It took the police convincing him to get him to go to rehab. He acts like he doesn't know why he's even in rehab. He's probably just high. I think this is the only one I've ever seen (again) where they just absolutely did not get any better or get SOMETHING out of rehab. Of course he's bipolar so that's not unheard of since he won't take time to get on proper meds.
I've lost weight and I don't know how. I don't feel like I always have to eat, in fact I'm not usually in the mood to eat. I haven't purchased rice cakes at the store recently which is probably part of it. I can eat two whole bags in one sitting (1230 cals). I don't, but I can. I've done it before. I did get goldfish today but one day won't kill me. I want to watch the New York City Ballet Workout 2 just to see if it's something I can do, I have it but have never watched it. I just assumed it would be too hard. The first DVD is pretty boring and it gets old real quick. I'm really not into routine class exercise. It's really boring. I used to have a stationary bike and I could read while I was on it but my arms would get tired holding the book because it was a recumbant bike and there was no room for a book to sit or anything. I read through all the Harry Potter books, hardbound, on that thing, more than once. I gave it to my sister because it turned into a place to lay my clothes and whatever needed a place to lay.
I'm going to go find something hot to eat. I haven't eaten hot food in a week or better.
[ONLY 4 MORE DAYS UNTIL AVRIL LAVIGNE'S NEW CD COMES OUT! DON'T FORGET TO CATCH SNL SATURDAY NIGHT!]
