Still downloading every single song on Stephenie Meyer's playlists. I'm just starting on Eclipse. Man, I love this music. It's SOOO good! I listened to the New Moon playlist while reading Eclipse the other night... It makes it much more interesting, let me tell you. I'll have to listen to the music a little more, though. I don't know many of the songs, so I tend to listen to them more closely, which distracts me from the words on the page. I was surprised that I knew as many songs as I did. Liiiike... "I Miss You" by Blink-182. TOTALLY didn't know that song was called "I Miss You." Or "The Reason" by Hoobastank. Or "Hate Me" by Blue October. I was actually singing along with them before I figured out that I knew-- and liked-- the songs. I think "Fix You" by Coldplay was another one...
Anywho, my quest to fix my iTunes is nearly complete. Did I write about that? Through some extremely impressive acts of stupidity, I managed to delete every single song off my computer. My dad, being the wonderful genius that he is, recovered them for me, but I still feel really stupid. And I had to move all of my music to a different harddrive because we decided to put it on a shared drive. I'm the only one that manages any music through iTunes, so my sister would be helpless if I didn't load things for her. So I've been re-adding the 1000+ songs that I had on there, re-importing the CD files that were corrupted from being deleted, and so on and so forth. I'm also adding some really old CDs of mine... and my mom's. Gotta love the good stuff-- Wings, Edwin McCain, The Beatles, REO Speedwagon, Little River Band, ABBA... OH MAN. It's good.
I'm wired from seeing Iron Man. I FINALLY got out of the house. I've been trapped here with my dad for the past two weeks. I graduate and suddenly it seems I fall off the face of the earth-- socially at least. The only person that invites me to do anything is my soon-to-be roommate, and I'm trying to lessen our time together since I'll be living with her soon. I love her to death, but sometimes too much of a good thing can become a bad thing, and I don't want that to happen with us. ANYWAY. Iron Man was great, but there was this REALLY annoying girl that sat next to my dad... She wouldn't shut up. I was about to say something to her, but then my dad said something instead, which was probably a good thing because he was much more polite than I would have been. And then she was screaming at everyone to stay because there was something at the end of the credits, but a bunch of people left anyway. But I was like, "Uh, lady, no one is listening to you because they're tired of your voice. They didn't want to hear you in the middle of the movie, and they don't want to hear you now. SHUT UP."
Well, now I must let the dog out, so I'll end this silly rant about nothingness.

Holy Downloading.

Done.
It's official-- I've graduated from high school. Scary, I know.
So I've been at home by myself for the past, oh, week I'd say. My sister's been at school. Yesterday was her last day-- she got to test out of all of her semester tests (except for Precalc... She's chosen to take that test because she's an over-achiever). And what does she do today? She goes to a movie with her junior friends and leaves me by myself. AGAIN.
So I'm cleaning my room, and sort of packing along the way. I've been doing that for a few days now. My room was really that bad. I can now walk in it, but it's got a long way to go. It gets better, then it gets worse again... And then I decide to take really long breaks where I decide to download music or talk to people on Windows Live Messenger. My downloading is getting out of hand, but I've got a BUNCH of really cool songs. I'm downloading every song on Stephenie Meyer's book playlists. I'm a nerd, I know. But she has AWESOME taste in music. And I'm sick of listening to Broadway showtunes. Shh! don't tell Jordan; he'll have a heart attack.
WELLLLLLL, I better get back to my room. Maybe I'll try downloading a few more songs. Limewire crapped out on me last night, so I ended up reading for about... four hours and then going to bed. My life is so BORING. At least I'll (hopefully) get a job soon. I applied at a Christian book store called Parables. It's practically a step away from soon-to-be MY apartment. I could walk to work from my apartment if I didn't have to walk on major roads. Wait, I think I could walk anyway. I think the walking trail goes right past it. Hm.
Anywho, so I have connections in the store, and I think I can get a job there. WOO! But enough about that. I'm going to CLEAN.

<3
I couldn't think of a title.
Anyway, I just wanted to mention that I love the movie Bicentennial Man. Really, I do. Robin Williams is amazing. And I think it's Robin Williams week because I don't think we've changed the channel since yesterday, and yesterday I watched part of Jack and part of Patch Adams.
So yeah.

Hold on, spider monkey.
Oh my good lord.
Just watched another Twilight clip. I'M IN LOVE. I'm literally SWOONING. I'm about ready to cry because it just is so... so... BEAUTIFUL. And Stephenie was in this clip. <3 She's my ultimate hero.
They don't really say much in the clip... I think it was the first time I'd heard Carlisle or Esme talk (well, the actors... whatever). And I'm in love with Alice. AND THE NOMADS. *swoons again* I want to steal Laurent. <333 I think it's cool the way they make it look like they're walking at normal speed, but they're actually walking ultra fast... You've just gotta watch the clip to see it.
There's also something that Edward says and I was kind of like WTF?! He calls Bella a SPIDER MONKEY. Maybe I don't remember that part. It doesn't seem like a very Edward thing to say. But perhaps I don't "get" Edward. Stephenie said that she's surprised by the heaps of fanfiction that she reads where Edward is just... wrong. That's kind of why I'm so scared to write Twilight fanfiction (even though I'm working on one right now XD). ANYWAY, it's not like it's terrible that he calls her a spider monkey or anything, it's just a little... weird to me. But I'm open for anything. If Stephenie likes it, then I like it. And that is that.

The Beatles.
I love The Beatles. <333
I just thought I'd put that out there for people to know.
And I'm not one of those 'jump on the band wagon,' 'I saw Across The Universe and now I like The Beatles' sort of people. I've always loved them. My mom loves them. They were pretty much the first music I was introduced to, and it's going to be the same way with my children. There's no better music than The Beatles.
Soooo I'm updating my iTunes with a bunch of my mom's Beatles CDs. They're the old CDs, the ones that came out in like 1987, so the sound quality is poor. ;_; But it's better than nothing, you know?

Money, Money, Money.
...Is a good song. ABBA=<3
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO HAVE MONEY. All I do is spend it on things that I don't really need! I just bought two music books. Why? Because I felt like it. I found Musical Theater Anthology books WITH accompaniment CDs for a fairly good price, so I BOUGHT THEM. I mean, it's hard to find good music books for mezzo-soprano, and I was pretty much in love when I saw the first book had By the Sea and The Worst Pies in London from Sweeney Todd. PLUS I signed up for a free trial of Amazon Prime, so I got free two day shipping. This is like the time I went to the silent auction. I freaking flipped out and bought a bunch of crap. But sometimes these splurges end up with good things, like my iPod mini. That was the greatest investment ever. I mean, I don't use it any more... I now have an 80GB iPod classic that is pretty much my entire life. But you catch my meaning.
Wellll, I need to work on graduation stuff again. I've already made two sizes of invitation, and I'm gonna start addressing envelopes for the FAAAANCY invitations that only select people are receiving. I guess all I have now is to do that, actually get the invitations printed, aaaand probably just clean house (although I'll most likely do the cleaning/house work during my free week.
OFF TO WORK ON GRADUATION CRAP!

Bored.
Soooo, a lot has been happening lately, which is why I've chosen to neglect my blog for a while. I just finished with district music yesterday (everything I was in received a I, which leads me to the conclusion that everything I touch turns to GOLD). I had a bunch of homework being piled on me, too. I think the teachers decided to try giving the seniors as much homework as possible before we graduate. O_o;;
Graduation. Yeah, that's another thing that's going to force me to neglect this a little bit. In fact, I should be getting in the shower right now so I can use the rest of my day to make invitations and complete my guest list, but I'm not. Instead I'm eating cold pizza and writing in my blog. Naughty, naughty...
And because I'm worried that my dad will come up here and get mad at me for not being in the shower, I'll cut this short. Perhaps I'll elaborate about stuff later. You never know.
