Holy crap it's been a while since I updated. Life is busy.
I'm back at college now. Fun stuff. So far my junior year has been interesting/hectic. I'm living in an apartment for the first time and I really like it so far. I have my own bedroom and bathroom. It's pretty awesome and I love my roomies.
I have a lot more to say and write but I really need to get to bed. I'll update later. Hope everyone has been doing alright.

Done with the book. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Finished it last night around 3am.
All I'm going to say is that I thought it was really good. It was a lot different than the other books. At first I wasn't sure about it but I definitely love it. Though I can't believe the series is over.
I won't say or spoil anything until I get back from my trip to San Diego next Monday. I'll write more of my thoughts then about the book.

New layout! Simple but I like it. I was definitely tired of my old one.
Oh and not to mention, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows comes out tomorrow night!! I'm so excited, anxious, nervous, etc. I can't believe this is the last Harry Potter book. I'm hoping things turn out alright, especially concerning some of my favorite characters... It's going to be interesting. Ahh, I can't wait!

I've started to get back into Harry Potter fanfiction again. I posted another chapter of my D/G work in progress. Though that story will probably never be finished for a number of reasons, one of the main reasons being that it's not that good. I just can't find motivation to continue a story I don't like all that well in the first place.
If anyone wants to read any of my stories you can visit my ff.net page here.
Anyway, I saw Order of the Phoenix the other day and it was really good. I might need to see it again to decide how much I like it but for now I like it better than the other HP movies. Even though a lot was left out, the movie was pretty good and nothing really important was left out. I'm lazy right now and I don't feel like typing all of my thoughts on the movie but if you're a Harry Potter fan, you should definitely see it.

I write too much and say too little. If that makes sense (it does to me, but I'm weird).
I don't even know why I use this journal anymore. To write pointless words? Yeah. Pointless words no one will read.
So I posted my story at ff.net, haha. It's ok, though I could use a beta for it since I suck with comma punctuation.
Anyway, there was no point to this entry.

I've started to reread the whole Harry Potter series and I've forgotten how much I love Harry Potter. I cannot wait until next month. I'm so excited for the movie and the final book. I can't believe that this is the last book. I'm going to miss anxiously awaiting for a Harry Potter book to come out.
Oh and this pretty much makes my day/week/month/year. Yeah I'm excited about it. I'll be there when it opens. It could be a nice college graduation gift to myself haha.
Anyway, life has been better which is good. Though I could use a better paying job but I won't get into that.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that I have a one-shot Draco/Ginny story that I keep meaning to post. I wrote it a while ago. Would anyone be interested in reading it?

I wish I could understand this feeling. I wish I could believe that I can change. I was doing so well, at least better than I had been. And now.. it's back to the same feelings. The same lazy, boring, tired person (among other things).
I can do this. I know I can. I just need to make it last. I just need to accept things.
I need to believe again. I need to take action.
It's summer vacation, and I'm feeling the opposite of how I wanted to feel.

I don't know if anyone has heard about what happened at Virginia Tech yesterday, it's been all over the news, but I just can't believe it. My school is only 2 hours away from Tech and I'm so shocked. I really can't even explain in words the extent of how I feel about it, I just felt the need to write about it somewhere.
If you haven't heard check cnn.com or other news places for information. I don't feel like writing and describing about what happened. I'll just say that it is the biggest school shooting in U.S. history. It's so sad and depressing. I'm sick of watching the news. I can't imagine being friends or family of the people that were killed. If I were a student at Tech I couldn't imagine having to go back to school next Monday. I know a lot of people at Tech and I'm glad that everyone I know is ok but still I pray for everyone at Tech.
This event has reminded me how crazy the world we live in is. I am saddened at the fact that someone could go and randomly shoot so many people. Love isn't easy to find in this world which is depressing. It scares me how this could have happened at any campus.
The only aspect that is somewhat good about this whole thing is the amount of support Tech has received. It's so awesome that so many people across the country and even the world can care so much for people they've never met.
If anyone reads this, please pray for the families and friends of the victims and everyone else at Tech. Any bit of support or thoughtfulness could help.

Things are changing and I like it. The fast couple weeks I've felt so much better than I've been feeling. I'm starting to accept certain things and embrace change. The fact that I'm 20 no longer depresses me, I'm still so young. I'm happier now even though I still have uncertainty in my life. I have set goals to accomplish. Summer is on the horizon, only a little over 3 weeks until school's done.
I'm not obsessed with Panic anymore, which for me is a good thing. I like not caring about them. They've changed so much anyway. I like not worrying about stupid things. It's such a feeling of freedom.
I have found a group of people here at my school that are amazing. I enjoy them. I helped work the Ben Folds show at my school last night with this group and I had the best time ever. If you don't know who Ben Folds is please check him out. He is so talented. I met him and got a picture with him and he was just incredibly nice and funny.
I like the way things are turning out. I don't even know if anyone will read this but it really doesn't matter to me. I don't know how much longer I will continue with this journal anyway.

I wish I had some idea of what I want to do. Some idea of what to do with my life. I used to want to be in a band, I used to want to write a book, I used to want to make things, but now I don't know what I want. I don't and it's frustrating. Sometimes I'm full of doubt. I hate this feeling. I hate that I'm afraid of so much. I hate that I don't even know what I'm good at anymore.
I'm living in a world of uncertainty and it's starting to get to me.
Anyway, I'm going to enjoy this weather and read Catcher in the Rye outside. I miss reading.

I am now officially 20. Crazy.
It feels so weird. No longer a teenager. I can't believe it. I mean I'm glad I'm finally 20 but it just feels so odd. I feel like I'm not a teenager but not mature enough to be an adult. I'm stuck in the middle. I'll get used to it one of these days...

This isn't really an update but I have a question.
I want to buy a CD but I'm not really sure what to buy. Does anyone have any CD recommendations?
Also, what are some bands you like? I'm looking to discover and listen to some more bands so if you know of any good ones let me know. I always like to hear new bands and new music.

Hello! It's been quite a while hasn't it? I kept meaning to update but I just never got to it, probably because I'm lazy and couldn't find much motivation to update this. I'm not even sure why I'm updating now. Probably because I have nothing better to do. Well I actually do but I don't feel like doing it now.
So, life has been... interesting I guess. It's 2007 and I'm glad its a new year. Last year wasn't the best but this year I'm looking to make things better. Though one good thing about 2006 was that I discovered how much I really love music. Anyway I feel like I have so much to say that I don't even know what to write.
Oh yeah, I forgot to update on the panic! concert I went to on 11/11. It was pretty awesome. I enjoyed it. I took a million pictures which you can see here. Please don't steal my pictures though. If you want to use any just ask. A lot of my pictures are blurry and not really good (I have a crappy camera) but some turned out alright. We were pretty close to Ryan, only three rows back from the barricade. I had a better time at this concert than the one at the norva just because we were soo close!
What else to say... Oh yeah, I turn 20 in a month from Tuesday. Exciting, though it's hard to believe that I will be 20 and no longer a teenager. I'm looking forward to not being a teenager though. Anyway, I can't think of anything else to write at the moment. I hope everyone has been good. I miss you all. Hopefully I will update much sooner next time.
ps. It's snowing here! It finally feels like winter. It's been so warm this winter which is crazy.

Say Anything - Belt |

It's been so long! I meant to update earlier but I just never got to it. I'm so lazy. I need to work on not being so lazy... Anyway, I guess a lot has happened. So far this school year has been interesting and not exactly what I expected. I miss certain things about last year. I miss a lot. I haven't been the happiest lately and it's bothering me. I'm not going to talk any more about that though.
I just got my Panic! ticket in the mail today for the show on Nov. 11 in DC. I'm so excited! I can't wait to see them again. I'm hoping to meet them, haha but I highly doubt I will since they are so huge now. Whatever.
I made another shirt a while ago, it a Hush Sound shirt and I love it. I may post pictures another time of it.
What else is new... I can't think of anything. I've been busy with school work and all that. I'm also trying to find a job. Yeah fun times.
Oh yeah, tomorrow is Halloween! I love Halloween, it's one of my favorite holidays just because I love dressing up and getting candy. I'm such a kid sometimes. I'm going to be a punk rock princess. Is anyone else dressing up or doing anything?
Anyway, hope things have been ok for everyone. I'll hopefully update sooner this time.

Ok so I should probably be going to bed right now since I have to wake up early and drive 4 hours to school tomorrow but I had to update once before I head off to college. I don't know when I will update next (hopefully soon) because it can be hard to update when college comes and I get incredibly busy. I will miss everyone. I'll try and update and post comments and say hey! I will definitely try harder than I did last year. I think I updated like 3 times throughout the whole year, not good.
Anyway I finished my Panic! At the Disco shirt I made and I'm going to post a couple pictures of it here. I also made some icons but I'll post those another time when I've made more icons.
( still so young, desperate for attention )
Anyway, I will hopefully update soon! I can't believe I'm already going back to school. This summer went by so fast and I feel like I didn't accomplish half as much as I wanted to. I said I was going to work more on my stories but that never happened. Oh well. Maybe sometime I'll get a random burst of inspiration or motivation and actually finish or post a story in here.

Hellogoodbye - Here (In Your Arms) |
] |
You know how I said I was losing motivation to update this? That didn't last long, I got it back soon enough.
So I went to the Vans Warped Tour on Wednesday and had a good time. I saw three of my favorite bands, The Academy Is, Motion City Soundtrack, and Hellogoodbye play along with some others. I got a nice Hellogoodbye shirt and their new CD which is exciting! Wednesday was probably the best day of the week just because the weather was great and warped tour was awesome. I love music.
Anyway this is really random but I was wondering if you guys could recommend some movies for me to rent. I should have asked this a while ago when I had more of my summer left, I only have like a week and a half but still if you know of any good ones let me know. I work at a movie rental place so I get free rentals and in the next week or so I'm going to take advantage of that (more than I have been) and go on a movie watching spree before I head off to college.
Speaking of college I'll be leaving soon but hopefully when I get up there I'll update more often than I did last year. I'll try and make myself update more, though it can get hard when things get busy.

So I'm losing my motivation to update this. I just feel as if barely anyone reads it (if anyone at all) and I'm just tired of livejournal. Actually I'm tired of the internet. I waste so much time on it and it's just on pointless stuff. When I was gone for a week it was nice to be away from the computer. It felt good to do stuff other than waste time in front of a computer screen. I need to take breaks more often. I'll be going back to college in a few weeks so who knows how much I'll be able to update.
I had something else to say but I forgot. Oh well. Edit: I remember now. I've decided to make a Panic! at the Disco shirt and a few other shirts too. I'm excited about making them, I've made a few designs already and I can't wait until I finish them. I'll post pictures of them when I finish. </edit>
Anyway, this is the best video ever. It's great, check it out.
Oh and does anyone like Mae? I have some cool pictures from their concert a week ago and I was thinking of posting them in here.
Also, one last thing, it's been forever since I wrote/posted/read any Draco/Ginny fanfic but I actually may post a one-shot that's basically been done for a while I just never got to posting it. I sort of miss reading and writing in that fandom.

Well I'm just updating to say that I'll be out of town until the 27th. Going to Nashville, Tennessee. It will be interesting. I'm excited about getting a vacation from work. I've needed a break.
Anyway, this isn't an exciting update. So to make it exciting (or not) I will post a poem I wrote a while ago. It's about time and how time goes by so fast. It's not my best considering I wrote it forever ago but I like it and I feel like it's appropriate to how I feel right now.

New layout! Nothing too exciting, it's pretty simple. I was getting tired of my black and white layout and I needed to add some color again, I like the colors of this one.
So 2 weeks later I am posting my Panic! show review. It's a long review. I included a few pictures, they're aren't good because I wasn't up close and my camera isn't the best.
( 6.25.06 Review )
On to another topic, I saw Eternal Sunshing of the Spotless Mind last night and wow, what an interesting movie. I really liked how it was done. It's very different from most movies which is one reason why I liked it so much. If you haven't seen it I recommend it, if you're into different types of movies.

Speak up you know you want to
Say what’s on your mind for once
Don’t be afraid don’t back away
I write a lot these days. I write a lot but rarely do I share my words. Maybe I should share them more often. Maybe then more people can see who I really am. But even I don't know exactly who I am.
The Panic! concert review will come one of these days. I just have so many other things on my mind. Been working a lot. Hoping I'll get used to working but it's not that easy to.
Today I thought was going to not be the best but it turned out to be better. Yay for that.
I just need to take things a day at time and not worry so much. Worrying takes up too much of my life. I waste so much time worrying about the past, future, whatever.
Anyway it's late and I need sleep. My eyelids are getting heavy.
