If you're crying...

I am the most talented, in my opinion, at being inspired by others' words. I fail when it comes to taking that inspiration, a feeling that I and so many others thirst for above all else (for what is anything in the world but inspiration? love, music, friendship, a career, it all serves to motivate toward action), I fail at taking that tense, burning energy and making it into anything, anything at all. There was a law made by some scientist at some point in time that insists that energy can't be created or destroyed, but I find myself destroying, embodying and retaining energy with no creative yield whatsoever on a daily basis. One thing plus another equals something bigger. (It's possible I have found the basis behind my fear and distaste towards maths and science.)

ps- I always second guess myself for writing and thinking in circles, but the only way I can make sure I remember the good parts is by repeating the bad just to respond.

1. Reply to this post and I'll assign you a letter.
2. List (and upload, if you feel like it) 5 songs that start with that letter.
3. Post them to your journal with these instructions.

I got the letter K from storybox... however, my collection of songs begining with K is not really worth uploading, so I skipped to the next letter and am doing L! Also more than 5 songs. ha.

1. L.E.S. Artists- Santogold
2. Leaf House- Animal Collective
3.The Libertine- Patrick Wolf
4 Life On Mars- Seu Jorge
5. Let It Fall- Lykke Li
6. Lovertits- Feist
7. Long Song- Devendra Banhart

I just voted. Pretty excited about it. I called my Dad afterwards and we both voted for Obama, but we both feel unsure about him because of certain issues. We just hope he doesn't let us down. There was no way I would vote for McCain and Palin though, ever, so that was that.

I will get around to doing an actual update one of these days... so lazy.

for a class about stress management, this sure is stressful.

went to the watermelon festival in carytown, it was very nice.
said goodbye to bestie for the last time in quite possibly a very long time.
figured out my computer is broken. again again.
ruined my mother's stove and almost burnt the house down.
watching olympics at work.
yep.

I have gooot to stop spending all my money. My next paycheck is going to be slightly less than half of my normal ones because of my vacation, and I didn't save much from my last one because i'm naughty and like to go out to expensive restaurants with my friends and buy huge margaritas.

Gymnaaastics. I always say I wont get into the olympics but I always do. Soo fun.

I got my nose pierced!

This is my first ever attempt and any sort of fanmix. I think I did okay though :)

( Song lyrics, and a Zip file of all the songs )

I'm off to warped tour in a couple hours!!
I posted on the RVA community here on LJ and asked for a ride with someone, and a girl named Bethann is going to take me along. She seems really nice, so I'm not worried about getting killed, lol.
SO EXCITED.
I can't find my Say Anything shirt though, so I am really sad about that...
but I set my alarm clock to wake me up to them :D
I'm meeting Britni and her friends there, and maybe Angelica and Sara Sutterfeild too! Yay!
eeeee

my sister and I hate the UK :)

The Big Read reckons that the average adult has only read 6 of the top 100 books they've printed."
1) Look at the list and bold those you have read.
2) Italicize those you intend to read.
3) Underline the books you LOVE.
4) Strike out the books you have no intention of ever reading, or were forced to read at school and hated.
