Aight! So this is officially my last post on this account.
I started this journal on July 11, 2004. Good god. That was quite long ago, but at the same time I feel like I've been on LJ forever. It's crazy.
I'm fairly certain I've transferred everything over, but if I've forgotten to add you on my new account, just leave me a comment and yell at me. Or just friend me, lol. Whichever you want. I down with either.

Jessca, ( ros_entryless rant behind the cut )
Anyhoo... I've decided that I'm going to switch over to my new account permanently. I'll probably start posting on it in a couple days. Today I'm gonna start joining all the communities and friending everybody I have on this account.
And it's not like I'm deleting this account. It'll always be here, so I'll be able to come back and reminisce (I just know I didnt spell that right) whenever I want to.
Today Kate, Devin, Jessca and I are going to see Blood and Chocolate. We have to go all the way to Falmouth cuz they arent playing it around here. Riiiidiculous. Especially since they charge for a matinee what our theater charges for a normal nighttime showing. But it'll be fun, nonetheless.
DAMN it's freakin' cold. Seriously, we have the thermostat set to NINETY, and it's still under 70 degrees in here. It's like the heaters arent even on. But they are on, I assure you.
You know, I actually have to wear a sweater. And socks. Around my house. And I now realize that this isnt THAT big of a deal. But seriously, we always keep the house warm. 75 atleast. Cuz Dawgley gets too cold too fast, and that leads to badness. And cuz it's just more comfortable.
God my arm hurts. My shins are better again, but my upper arm hurts from where I fell. But it's not bruised, so I just look like a wimp. But I did something to the muscle, and its painful. And it's my right arm, so I'm having to do everything with my left. Which is difficult. I'm not that coordinated.
Sooo... yeah. I'm gonna go post on ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) ros_textless, and then start switching over to my new account.

So, I'm in a bit of a predicament...
I made a new username to test/setup a layout on. But, as it turns out, I really like the screenname I chose for it.
And... "orpheus345" is kind of getting old. I dont really dig having the random numbers. And, I still love the name/word orpheus, but it's just... yeah.
So, the username I chose, is ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) radiantpallor.
Why the hell did I choose that?
The word "pallor" is used in the song This Celluloid Dream by AFI,
"In the glitter, in the dark, sunk into velvet
Praying this will never end
In the shadow of a star, in static pallor
I realized I never began"
And, since the screenname "staticpallor" was taken, I had to do some actual thinking.
Later in the song are the lyrics "Bathed in your radiance, I melt".
So, I took "radiance" and made it fit grammatically.
Oh, and, also. "Pallor" is an extreme paleness, specifically in the skin. And "radiant" well, I think we all know what radiant means. Bright, glowing, shining, etc etc.
Lol and now that you know the history of my new username from it's very inception, I dont know what to do.
I kind of want to switch over to that account permanently. But I'd have to friend people again, join communities again... lol, yeah, so, I guess it's not THAT much work, but I still dont know.
And yeah I know my username is kinda emo. I think it's pretty. Leave me alone, lol.

MWAHAHAHAHA!
COLTS ARE GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL!
Yeah, I'm going to hell. I'm pretty much the only person in the greater New England area who is freakin THRILLED by this.
The Patriots are always at the Superbowl, the Colts havent been in atleast 9 years. It's time to give someone else from the division a freaking chance.
Mwahahahahahhahahaaaaaa! The Pats were OWNED. What was it? 38 to 34 with a minute left in the game? Oh, Brady, you're good, but not that good.
You know, last year, when the Steelers got to the Superbowl, I was thrilled. But I didnt care if they won or not. But this year, with the Colts, I'm freakin ecstatic. I want Peyton and the other Colts boys to OWN. But not with a game as close as this one was. I want them to win by a lot. A way lot.
Aaaaanyhoo... So, Mrs. Chapman didnt have my recommendation ready. I'm just gonna have to send the application without it. I've gotta get this fricking thing done.
And yet another person looked at me like I was a psychotic turnip on speed when I said that I'm only applying to one school. What part of THERES NO WHERE ELSE I CAN GO AT THIS POINT is so very difficult a concept? It's freaking January, my grades are crap, I'm 34th in the class, and I dont do extracurriculars. I'm brilliant, but thats all I've got going for me.
And if I cant get into USM... Theres really no reason for me to try to get in anywhere else. I'll just take the year off and do something productive, I'm thinking interning at some sort of historical institution.
"Hysterical institution" is how I read those last 2 words, lol.
New semester starts today... wute. Wow, that's something I havent said in a long time, "wute." Weeeiiird.
OH! THE MOST IMPORTANTEST THING!!!
AFI was on SNL... I loved them. They kicked ass during Love Like Winter. Unfortunately during Miss Murder Davey was having mic troubles, only he didnt know about it, heh. But atleast now everyone knows that they really do sing their songs and that Ashley Simpson will never live it down.
An hour and a half of SNL for 6 minutes of AFI. But it was worth it.
And now it's time to get ready for that metaphorical hell they call "high school."

Hahahahahahhaha. I love when there are two icon makers in the same community, and the first makes a set of kickass icons. The second, jealous of the praise and compliments that the first iconmaker is receiving, decides to make their own icons on the same theme as the first iconmaker's. But the second iconmaker fails IMMENSELY.
Why do I love that? It actually sounds like kind of a bitchy thing to say, lol. But, really, atleast I realize that I have no icon making potential. I accept it, and move on to other things that I have slightly more skill in. But some people just.... yeah.
Kudos to everyone who can make kickass icons, btw. Y'all own me.
Anyway...
So I went to Hot Topic today to get an AFI tshirt that I fell in love with online. But the largest size they had was, well, a Large. And it fit, but it was a bit too tight for me to be comfortable with. AFI's online store only has the shirt up to Large, also.
Here's my dilemma.
Hot Topic's website has the shirt up to XL. Now, I dont know if it'll really end up being the same size, and they just figured they could pass it off as Large.
And, like I said, Large fit. But, since I dont generally wear tshirts in the first place, and I'd want to wear something underneath it, I'd much rather have one size up.
But I dunno if I want to take the risk and order it online when I cant actually try it on. But I freakin' love this shirt.
Dammit.
Jessca, we're going to see Mrs. Chapman tomorrow, right?
Lol also, Jessca and Kelly, you both suck. Both of you have very valid reasons for me to join you at your respective place of employment.
But, if Lazyness was one of those 7 Wicked Bad Sins, I'd so go to hell straight off the bat.
Oh well.
AFI is gonna be on Saturday Night Live tonight! Guess who's stayin' up all late to watch Davey and the boys? Oh, that's right! This chick!

So many posts in the past couple days. Sheesh.
Anyhoo, with a great deal of encouragement from Jessca, I was able to make a couple headers of Davey Havok. Well, three headers. Well, really, three variations of one base. But I really like 2 of them, so that's good.
( They're under the cut )
Ohh! And I made a header of the Twilight cover, using lyrics from AFI's 'Kiss and Control'.
( Also under a cut )
|
02:18 pm
I've royally screwed up my layout.
I... need a code. From anyone. I just need a freaking layout back.
Phew. That was really, really bad for a while there. I was... fairly beyond pissed off, lol.
So, now that it's back up (and I'm not even going to TRY to do what I was doing when I fucked up the layout), I can say...
New layout! The wonderful header was made by wild_musings. Freaking awesome.
|
10:27 am
Ehhhhh!
I've lost my mind for real this time.
At some point in the last few days, I ran across some kickass AFI headers. But, of course, I didnt save them at the time, because I'm a moron.
Now I cant for the life of me figure out where the hell I saw them.
And I want them. Cuz... my AFI headers just arent working for me right now. I cant even completely finish a single one.
One of them was on a stage. And... eh. I just dont even know.
And, yeah, I dont expect any of you to know, but I just had to rant.
Wah. JK! Problem solved.
On a lighter note,
K-Dawg and I watched Smallville last night, neither of us have watched the beginning of this season or any of last season. But, Kate <3's the Justice League, so, we watched. And that was pretty damn entertaining.
Cyborg: *somethingsomethingsomething*, Fishstick. And put a shirt on.
Aquaman: You're lucky I still have my pants on.
HA! Smallville OWNED MY SOUL for a couple seconds there. Fo' realz.
And then Supernatural came on, and, yeah, soul was repo'd. ( Under a cut for spoilery talking )
Anyhoo.
So yesterday before I cleaned, Jessca and I watched AFI interviews like WOAH on youtube. For over an hour, I think. Davey is just so damn adorable. And he refers to his fans as his "kids". It's really cute. They're much more... I dunno the word. The guys of 30stm are great and all, and they do a lot for their fans, but the guys of AFI seem to adore their fans.
This is the first weekend in a very, very long time that I havent had any school work to do.
I'm gonna miss Law. And that's weird. I had no friends in that class, I sat by my emo self over by the wall. But it was interesting, and... yeah.
Hopefully my new schedule will be all set by Monday, so I can go to my new classes. AKA Drawing and Library. Cuz 3 study halls would probably be the death of me. "The death of me" feels like something I already said in this post. But I'm too lazy to scroll up and look, lol. So, if I'm repetitive, sorry about that.
Another "Hopefully": I'm gonna try to make some good AFI headers. So, hopefully they'll be up today.

Are you stalking me?
Because that would be really cool.
(Kelly! They dont have that shirt online anymore! Ugh!)
Anyhoo, here are the stalkery results thus far:
Kelly- 81

Heheheh, this is amazing. Honestly, whenever I see/hear the word 'stalker' I immediately think of that wonderful shirt I saw in the UK. I always forget the exact quote, though (Kelly? Help?).
Anyhoo...
How good of a stalker are you?

First: Kelly, how was Psychology?
Second: Jessca, I watched Miami Ink! I think that you should tape it more often. AND chords from Affliction are dispersed ALL through Kiss and Control, if you listen for them.
Third: ( Stoled from Jessca ) That was fun.
Anyhoodle. So, I got a 113 on my Law test today (second highest grade IN THE CLASS), and I dont think I did too bad on the final either. I'm gonna miss Mr. Andreasen. He's awesome.
So I'm picking up Drawing and keeping Physics. Cuz Guidance is PSYCHO.
This is how my schedule will PROBABLY look:
1AC: English
2AC: Statistics
3AC: Drawing
4AC: Library
1BD: Physics
2BD: Study Hall
3BD: Latin
4BD: Gym
That's the theory. I'll have to go to Guidance to get my schedule to make sure.
I... really have nothing else to talk about right now. So, I'm out, homies.

Yet another reason to hate GNG HS:
Everyone. In. The. Guidance. Office. Sucks.
Fo' reals, yo.
Not that this is a newly learned fact, but they just had to display their crazy again today. I say I want to drop Physics and they look at me like I've just announced that I'm going to kill myself. I'm sorry that you dont actually do any real counseling, but that's no excuse to freak out over little things. You freaking psychos. My god. Leeeave me alooooone! So, yeah, I'll be staying in Physics. 'Cause they scare me. But I get to pick up Drawing, so that'll be nifty.
Now I need to figure out who at USM I talk to about getting a work study. But I dont even know if I talk to them until after I get accepted. I just dont know anything, really.
I just need to keep reminding myself of my overall college plan:
USM for 2 years - Focusing on History
A Better School for 2 more years - Majoring in History
And if I dont have some sort of career in archaeology/history by that time
Southern Connecticut State University - Masters in Library Science
And that comforts me. I'm comforted.

I am so damn screwed.
College... is going to suck.
I have no idea how I'm going to do this.
I wish I'd honestly cared earlier in this process. I've always been the kind of person that just settles with what I think is good enough. USM seemed to work... But I really dont want to go.
I wish I'd actually... I dont even know anymore.
I dont want to NOT go to college... but I dont want to pay a shit load of money (that I dont have) to go somewhere that I dont want to be.
I'm all right now. I could've deleted all that... but I dont want to. If I delete it then I wont feel like I got a chance to vent.
I'm going to be fine. USM is going to take over my entire life, I'll be able to do other things. And not wanting to be there will force me to look at other ways to spend my time.
Maybe I'll get into some kind of archaeological group/program/thing and be able to spend time on that. Maine was the location of the failed Jamestown twin colony. And... yeah.
I'll be fine.
I dunno what the hell I'm going to do with my life, but I'll be fine.
EDIT: "Affliction" by AFI is such a beautiful song. Seriously, the melody makes me teary. The lyrics are so depressing, but it's beautiful nonetheless. I cant even describe it.

So, here I am, bored as hell.
I've re-read and edited my Stats paper.
I really dont want to do my English paper, which isnt due till Wednesday anyway.
I should be reading New Moon.
I dont feel well, and I'm not sure why. My stomach is all burble-y.
AFI is playing on my iPod, but I'm not really listening to it.
I think theres something very wrong with me.
Okay, I'm finally getting into a mood that will allow me to read New Moon. But where? I hate reading in my room... I guess I'll just bring it here and get comfy in this chair.
Hey, it works.

08:24 am
Sooo....
I do hope that Kate's birthday went all right. She said she didnt want to do anything with her friends, so I didnt push it. But I just know that I regret not doing anything for my 18th birthday, then again I have 2 years to convince her to do something for hers.
So I'm convinced that I'm doing my entire Stats project completely wrong. I dont think it's quantitative (or quantitive or something), and if it's not, I'll automatically fail. But I honestly dont have the self discipline to do it over again in a way that I'm certain is right.
Speaking of self discipline...
It's been a lot easier than I thought it would be not to read New Moon until my work is done. And thats NOT a good thing. But I know that once I start reading I'll once again be in the quaint little town of Forks in my head.
But first I have to write my English paper. Which hopefully wont be too difficult. I'll be basing it loosely on my British Authors paper from last year.
Xander is a freak. A bottlecap fetching freak.
So I have, like less than a month to get my license.
I am SO confused! This is from the Maine.gov website:
"For those 18 and over driver education is not required. The written exam and vision screening are offered on a scheduled basis." My permit is insane, it doesnt know what it's talking about.
All right. So. Not that I'm going to slack off for another 18 months, but this is definitely comforting. I dont feel so rushed anymore, I can wait until I know I'm ready. Someone, I cant remember who (was it Caitlin?), told me that if my permit expired I'd only have to take the exam again. And that comforted me too, but this just confirms it all. Sweet, yo.
Anyhoo, here's my day:
-Chillax with K to the Elly
-Finish my Stats
-Write the paper for English
So hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to start New Moon.
Jessca, should we have a new layout over at ros_textless? The colors and plainness are starting to frustrate me.

My Darkest Secret- The LJ of Vivian (from Blood and Chocolate)
"Once a month, on the full moon, the pack gathers together, and we hunt. Gabriel finds someone -- oh, he says they're scum, they're better off dead, but we only have his word for it -- and they run. And we chase them. Custom says that if they make it to the river, they're free. Nobody's ever made it."
What. The. FUCK.
Are you kidding me? This movie.... They.... GAH. I was so excited for this movie.
I loved the book with every fiber of my 10th grade being.
But this movie....
Gabriel would NEVER let the pack kill people.
My completely unspoiled just complete guessiong hypothesis: Aiden will make it to the river. I dont know when, I dont know why. But thats what that sentence is practically SCREAMING.
Ugh.
But, whatever. I'm excited for the movie. You know why? 'Cause my soul has been OWNED for the past 3 days by Twilight, written by Stephenie Meyer.
Oh so owned.
<3.
Expect a new layout sometime soon. I dunno exactly what it'll be of yet.

So very, very tired of the color blue.
And the song Love Like Winter.
All afternoon I tried and tried to make a good header of this pic, but they all kept immensely sucking at their pixely little lives.
( But I finally managed to throw something together. ) The simplest header I made all day turned out to be the only one that was decent.

02:05 pm
I feel..... enlightened.
Seriously. And I doubt I'll be able to type as fast as my brain is thinking right now. But.... I need to vent in a not ranting way. Just a "Ohhh! No way!" kind of thing.
I've realized that Nicole is just severely mentally/verbally unstable. I dont even have a slight hate for her anymore. I really, honestly, feel... I dont even know. It's not her fault that argumentative, bitchy comments just flow out of her like a freakin' river. It's how she was raised. Not that I'm blaiming her parents, either. It's just a massive conglomeration of unfortunately qualities, all rolled up into one tyrannical package. It's sad, really.
I didnt even REALIZE that other people were joining in our discussion, lol. I had no idea that Michael commented. Well, thats partially cuz our little "internet scuffle" (as Olivia named it) was spread all over, and people were responding to one comment in a different section. So confusing.
But Olivia's post really cheered me up. She's hilarious. And it really lightened the whole situation for me. I'd love to debate with Nicole again. Because, let's face it, I fuckin' OWNED. EDIT: I'm going to put Olivia's comment behind a cut, so it's easily accessable. Accessible? I dunno. ( EVERYONE'S A WINNER! )
Jessca, Heidi and I left school early today. However, dont get too excited my dear readers. We didnt do anything rash or impulsive. We each went to our respective homes. Well, I was stuck at my grandmothers, alone, and it was cold, and I was wet from the rain. But then I found Cheaper By The Dozen 2 on tv, and it was just what I needed.
LSDKJFLKDSNWENARLKEJFLWEKR:WIE! In a happy, joyus way. Seriously. I have the weirdest feeling right now. Usually, when I get pissed, my arms get all shakey. Not cuz I'm scared, just cuz I get SUCH an adrenaline rush when I get pissed, but I usually dont have anyway to release it. And now, my arms are kind of tingley, but not in a painful, asleep kind of way. In a light kind of way.
I think that this whole post makes me sound EXTREMELY stoned, lol. Seriously.
I'm irrationally content with the world.

Anyone wanna go see The Hitcher with me when it comes out? Sophia Bush, Sean Bean, some remotely attractive other guy. Sure, it's horrorish, but I definitely dont see it in a Hills Have Herpes kind of way. So, yeah, if anyones at all interested, let me know.
This statistics project is gonna be the death of me. And now it's our freakin' midterm. I dont even have any clue as to what I'm doing the project ON. Eh. I think I may do some kind of price-comparison of brandname vs. generic foods down at GMP. That'd be an easy thing to get 50 units of. I'd only need 25 different products... I dunno though. My problem is finding something that is large enough without being way too much to take on.
Argh. I still have to do my extra credit for English.
And some day I want to read Eldest.
Blehhh.
