I think this should have been our grad song. I mean, I love Journey and all, but this just sums it up so much better.

Pretty sure no one's even checking this blog anymore, so I'm not writing anything.

So today, we have another British song. And may I just say, I was severely disappointed when no one showed up for our weekly Skype chat. I've been rethinking it and I probably won't tell you my news. Just to make you suffer, so you never fall asleep that early again, and you never forget about it again. And you'll forever be wondering what my news is. Hmph. But of course, I am easily broken down. Even as I am writing this, I know I've forgiven you. So fine. I'll tell you. You just have to wait until Sunday/maybe Wednesday. Whenever you actually go on Skype when you're supposed to!
Anyways. The song is Holding On by Alex Day. And as a person, I really don't like him. But his music is beautiful. And that darn British accent always gets me, as I'm sure you all know. Just bought this album on iTunes last night. Also, my friend's friend did the album art for his cd. The guy playing the glockenspiel/backing vocals/producer is Tom Milsom, who did yesterday's song. This is one of the songs off the album I said I'd send to you, if you like. I also have about seven Tom Milsom songs, if you want those as well.
In other news, Anna was going to do a video montage set to Goodbye Stranger by SuperTramp, but iMovie wasn't working. So she gave up and deleted everything and I volunteered to do it instead. I understand her frustrations. But I'm halfway done and I'll be posting it as soon as it's finished. I'll post it here too. I also have ONE MORE VIDEO to do for the five awesome strangers. After that, I will go directly into my squirrel rebellion video, of which I am Friday. I love youtube.

You know what's really weird? On Friday, it's going to be 2010. But we started this year off with Thursday, and we're ending it on a Thursday. As far as the Five Awesome Strangers go, I was the bread to that sandwich. And now, with The Squirrel Rebellion, I am Friday. I will be the bread to that sandwich also. Oh yeah, I haven't mentioned that yet. Anna (Monday of FAS, obv.) and Ashley (6AwesomeChicks, failed) are starting a collab channel. Ashley's found us three more people, and is possibly finding us one more, to make seven. We don't know. You should subscribe to us, here. I'll still be posting on the FAS channel, and I'll still post those videos on the blog.
Anyways, today's song is: Song for the Painfully Indie by Tom Milsom.

So it's really late and I'm about to go to bed, but I obviously have an obligation to do this.
ALEX! You asked if I heard Melissa's stuff on youtube. AND YOU RUINED IT! Every time I have one of her songs written down, you mention it and ruin the surprise (sort of). But yeah, today's song is Just Takes Time (or Shoelaces if you prefer it). I am so proud of her. Even though we're far away and don't talk like Alex, Shosh, and I do, I still love that girl, and I miss her. We had a really awesome week at efy (which I know was like the summer of 2008) but I won't forget it. She is so, so sweet, and is just the most generous person ever. Anyways, I don't need to tell you how awesome Melissa is, because you know. So just go to her myspace and listen to her music again. And enjoy your Sundays. I'll talk to you tonight.

Now that the themed part is over, it feels weird. I don't know what to do with myself. It made it easier to choose songs. But it also made it a little harder, because there are only SO MANY you can pick. And then you have this huge list of songs you still want to use, but you can't because it's over. Anyways. I hope you all had a nice Christmas. Mine wasn't bad. We played Trouble, and Yum (which is pretty much the Canadian version of Yahtzee, but more fun because now I'm old enough to understand how dice work) and we ate some crackers and cheese. We started the turkey a bit before noon, and because my mom thought it would be a good idea to cook it SLOWLY, we didn't get to eat until 9. And I'm exhausted. I've been tired since noon. But then I had to eat, and then I did dishes (not fun on Christmas) and now I can't sleep because my mom is drunk and, as always, too loud.
And we started watching Lord of the Rings (Return of the King) around 3, but their friends came over unannounced (IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MOVIE) and kind of ruined it for me. I mean, I was kind of excited to just have a family day. And now it's all... grown-up talk time. It's almost midnight and they're still here. It would be fine if I knew them, but it's just kind of awkward. Which is why I've basically been in my room since they arrived. It would also be fine if they talked about interesting things, but while I was washing dishes, the conversation went from the volcano in the Philippines, to pillows. And I was washing dishes for a while. But they only talked about those two things. I just want to go to bed.
And I'm dead. That's basically me saying, enough complaining. Today's song is going to beeeee... nevermind, we had that one. I'd Rather Dance With You by Kings of Convenience. I am really enjoying this band. Got their whole discography already. They're one of those bands with five versions of every song. It's nice. Not sarcasm, I actually enjoy it.
HAPPY... BOXING DAY. Love you, and miss you terribly.

So my computer deleted all the music on my iPod. I'm now in the process of putting them all back on, meaning I need to re-download some stuff. It also gives me the opportunity to put new music on my iPod. So any suggestions would be awesome. I'm just grateful I had SOME songs on the USB I'm giving to Shosh some around January. I just found out I'm getting money for Christmas, so I'll be sending everyone's gifts out soon after. Which also means I need to make more cookies. Hm.
Anyways, I know you guys probably won't be seeing this for a couple days (or weeks) because it's CHRISTMAS, but I just can't go a day without posting. Especially because it's the last day I get to post a Christmas song. Today's song is one that Maureen Johnson tweeted about called Christmas is Here by Bearforce1. And seriously you guys, it's amazing. I am so loving this song.
So beautiful. Okay guys, Happy Christmas. I love you.

HOLY FRACK. It's Christmas Eve Day today... it really doesn't feel like it. I still haven't gone to bed yet, so maybe when I wake up it will feel like Christmas Eve Day. But I think I want to stay up as late as possible today, because I want to stay up all Christmas Eve night, and then pass out after Christmas dinner. If anyone cares to join me, or pop in for a bit, I will be on both Skype and msn.
So I figure since I've had all happy Christmas songs, I should have a sad one. Blue Christmas. The first time I heard this was when Caralee Haire (now Maxwell) sang it at a ward Christmas talent show a loooong time ago. She was amazing. I never thought such a voice could come out of such a small person.
Anyways. As with a lot of Christmas songs, there were about a bajillion covers to choose from, and I considered using Andrea Bocelli, except he'll be showing up in a couple weeks for something themed :) I love Andrea Bocelli. Anyways, I ended up listening to a lot, but I decided to go with A Fine Frenzy. Apart from all the weird vocalizing around 2:20 - 2:50, it's pretty decent. One more song tomorrow (on actual freaking Christmas day) and then we're taking a week off, before another THEMED WEEK. Actually, all of January is going to be themed. Starting on the third, because like I said, taking a week off.
I AM ALSO ADDING ANOTHER VERSION OF MY FAVORITE CHRISTMAS SONG (Baby it's Cold Outside) because I won't get another chance until next year, and I really really love this version and because I love Julia Nunes and I love Wade Johnston.

Today's song is in honor of Alex's Halloween costume! Not the lamp costume, the other one.
Where Are You Christmas? (sung by Taylor Momsen as Cindy Lou Who). I also have to add the Faith Hill version because her hair is so amazing.
On that crimped note, have an awesome day.

For reasons unknown to me, I have been feeling kind of sick lately. Not cold sick, just... wrong sick. I've been sleeping with three blankets (one of them mink) and flannel sheets since we moved in, but for the past few days, I've been too warm under them, and can only sleep with the flannel sheets on. Which is ridiculous because the heat is at 15, and it's freaking cold outside. And I've been super tired. I mean, I woke up around noon, and then started to get tired at like, five. I fell asleep at eight, but one of the girls downstairs has a very shrill voice that woke me up at eleven. I've been awake since then, and it's almost four. I watched Elizabethtown to pass the time until I got tired again. I'm hoping that after this blog post, I'll get to sleep.
After reading that last paragraph and realizing how much complaining I just did, I would like to add that I'm also dead.
Anyways, ALEX! You're home now. I'm sure this is not news to you. We spoke on the phone, and it was awesome. We also learned that I do NOT have free long distance. So, that was cool.
I got a Christmas present in the mail today (or yesterday, being Monday) from Alex's mom. It's called "Brain Lint" and it's basically a bunch of cards (16, with 17 envelopes, because I sometimes screw the envelopes up) that are like, random thoughts you have that no one cares about. Thus, brain lint.
Click HERE for a picture of some cards.
And other things. I'll take some pictures and maybe post them sometime later this week. ANYWAYS. Now that I have once again written too much, I will proceed onwards, to the song of the day. My friend Aread posted this on Facebook just in time, so I didn't have to think of one by myself. Plus I love Behind Sapphire. They are an amazing band, and two of the nicest guys I have ever met. It's called Christmas Nigh. And red onesies are always appreciated. Plus, I haven't seen him in a long time, so is that Reuben Leonard? Nevermind, it totally is. Because that's the Leonard's house. WEIRD.
I can't find it on the youtube finder, so CLICK HERE.

So this is really sad. I went to bed at one last night, then woke up at 7 to go to church. This is good for me, considering I've been going to bed at 4am lately.
But next year, it doesn't start until 1pm. Still, I don't know if I was in the right ward. But I really hope so. 1pm would be paradise after years of 8/9. Anyways, so I'm really tired now. I considered napping earlier, but never got around to it. And I fell asleep for five minutes watching the Two Towers. I mean, are you fracking kidding me? How does anyone fall asleep during Lord of the Rings? Unless you're my father, who is biologically programmed to fall asleep during any and all movies, you don't fall asleep during Lord of the Rings. So it's 8:40pm now, and I'm holding out hope for Shosh to appear on Skype. If she doesn't, I am going to go to bed. Very, very, early.
ALEX! How is home? I miss your family a lot, and I bet you're having a SUPERMEGAFOXYAWESOMEHOT TIME! Tell your mom I love her, because I dooooo. I miss you guys a ton. Be good, and eat lots of sugar for me. Also, eat lots of healthy foods for you. I bet you missed the cooking. Your mom has the best mashed potatoes I've ever eaten, you're probably getting some for Christmas dinner. Lucky.
SHOSHANA! How do you feel about not going home from Katimavik for the holidays? I know you and I take a while to start missing people, but do you miss them yet? How is everyone spending the holiday there? Do you have a Secret Santa, or are you going to a different Katima-house, like in PG? Do you get a huge Christmas dinner?
We're having a Christmas dinner. The reasons escape me. I don't think I even want a Christmas dinner. The season has been ruined for me, pretty much. We're four days away and it doesn't feel like Christmas at all. But uh... Happy Christmas?
I know that Christmas Music week is officially over, but that's why I said it wasn't really Christmas week. Because we still have more days until Christmas. We therefore have more songs. Today's is Let it Snow by Michael Buble, set to BONES. You guys porbs have this song already.
PS Sorry for the crap-load of writing. I guess I can write a ton even when I'm exhausted. I love you all.

So I am very pleased because the parental unit bought the LOTR trilogy. We just watched Fellowship, and I imagine we will watch Towers tomorrow. However, I am not pleased because I probably won't go to bed until midnight. And that is only because I will force myself to go to bed early. I also watched the first two episode of 21 Jump Street. Loving it so far, but I will have to spend the rest of the week catching up. There are about 5 seasons, that I know of. So I've got some youtube/torrenting to do.
Anyways. Today's song is one of my favorites. I spent my childhood Christmases playing this song on repeat, singing along. I knew every word. In fact, I still do. The only downfall is that the CDs (Christmas Magic I, II, and III) are at my dad's, so I have no hope of ever hearing them again. Anywho, it's the Alvin and the Chipmunks Christmas song.
ALEX! You're going home today! Trop exciting!

It's four in the morning. I am still up because I'm watching the Big Bang Theory. Season two. This is my life...
But seriously, it's like the most amazing show ever. Apart from the IT crowd. But I've watched that whole series.
And Buffy is still downloading, so that's out of the question. Summer Glau is on this episode, which is so ridiculously nerdy that it's beautiful. I should probably go to bed, though. Because my sleep schedule is already messed up. And I'm trying to fix it. But it's not working so well. I'll just leave you with the song of the day, which is What Christmas Means to Me, by a favorite band of my childhood - Hanson. A lot of people have been surprised by how good their Christmas album is, but I'm not surprised. Hanson is always amazing. I love them so much.
Anyways yeah, the song. Shosh, got your letter on Friday. Responding now. Alex, good luck on your last exam!

I was half asleep when I realized I still had to post this. You're welcome.
But it's going to be short. Because I'd like to get back to being half asleep. Though fully asleep would be more preferable, in all honesty. I haven't been able to find the right version of this song, ever, so I'm not going to bother anymore. I'll just post a random one. The song is Mary Did You Know by Michael English, I suppose. PS I'm on a major Buble binge right now.

So you guys kind of ruined today's song. I mean, I still love the actual song.
But you gave the surprise away. Because you brought it up during our bi-weekly chat. Skanks.
And I mean that in the most endearing way possible. The way we usually use it, haha.
Anyways, it's Melissa and Carlos' version of Baby it's Cold Outside. I can't embed it because it is not a youtube video, but you can find it HERE. As if you didn't know our friend's myspace account...
Have a nice Thursday. My video should be up on tomorrow's blog. Love you girls, and I miss you a ton.
Only 204 days until we see each other. >E

I was going to go to bed around midnight, buuuut it's two am and I'm still up, watching the Big Bang Theory.
Love this show. I already finished season one of the IT Crowd, and the second one is downloading still. I am excited. And so so nerdy. Also, it's Wednesday today! Hopefully we get to have a Skype (or msn) chat tonight. I have semi-juice to tell you. But not really. Definitely not as much as Alex, after date #2 on Tuesday.
Anyways, today's song is another of Alex's favorites. Definitely not as much as Wham, but still pretty close, due to the fact that it's a Beach Boys song - Little Saint Nick.
Enjoy your Wednesdays. I'll be on Skype tonight, hopefully by nine. My parents will want to finish season four of Dexter, and sometimes we don't quite work out the logistics to be finished on time. Anyways. Love you.

Tuesday.
I didn't put up any pictures yesterday because my photoshop trial ended about twenty-five days early for some reason. I am trying again, with CS2 instead. Plus, my friend Paul (from grade seven onwards) told me how to do layer masks. Sort of. His tutorial was better than the ones on the internet. Because the ones on the internet always told me stuff I didn't need to know. It was actually very confusing because I was talking to Paul and Paul at the same time on msn. I was scared I would mess up who I was talking to. I didn't, though, because I am that awesome.
Dexter season 4 is over and I am seriously depressed about it. Crystine and I both expected happy endings but... well, I'm not giving it away. It was sad though. Heartcrushing. That would make sense if you watched Bones.
Anyways, today's song is one of Alex's favorites: Last Christmas by Wham! It's also one of my favorites. Why wouldn't it be? It's beautiful.

Dear David Hasselhoff and other girl from Baywatch whose name I don't know because I only actually watched the show once, for seven seconds,
HAPPY MONDAY! That is all. Now, technically this is a themed week. But it's going to carry part way into next week. Christmas songs, finally. Isn't it weird that Christmas is eleven days away? It doesn't feel like Christmas. My mom has jokingly said she would get me Big Turks (in bite size form. They're new. Is it sad I'm actually excited about this) and a Spongebob calendar. I'm pretty sure that's all I'm getting. Though I will ask for Nacho Libre. Just in case she's feeling generous. And in case she doesn't want me to complain throughout January - April that she doesn't love me. It'd be bad. I complain she doesn't love me when she forgets to buy apples. Catastrophic if she completely takes away Christmas. I want some semblance of my childhood to remain.
Anyways, the first Christmas song is Jingle Bells by Frank Sinatra because I have loved it for a long time. I love Jingle Bells. I have inside jokes about Jingle Bells. Yes, JokeS. More than one joke, with more than one person. It's that awesome. Plus I love me some Sinatra, in all various shapes and sizes. Enjoy the countdown to Christmas, and I'll write to you tomorrow. I'll also probably contact you on Facebook. Or at least tag you in a new scandalous photoshop picture. It'll be hard to top Baywatch, but I'm pretty creative.
HAPPY MONDAY! That is all. Now, technically this is a themed week. But it's going to carry part way into next week. Christmas songs, finally. Isn't it weird that Christmas is eleven days away? It doesn't feel like Christmas. My mom has jokingly said she would get me Big Turks (in bite size form. They're new. Is it sad I'm actually excited about this) and a Spongebob calendar. I'm pretty sure that's all I'm getting. Though I will ask for Nacho Libre. Just in case she's feeling generous. And in case she doesn't want me to complain throughout January - April that she doesn't love me. It'd be bad. I complain she doesn't love me when she forgets to buy apples. Catastrophic if she completely takes away Christmas. I want some semblance of my childhood to remain.

I just got Alex's comment saying Flight of the Concords won't be doing another season.
So my life is totally ruined. (Sidenote Alex, when are you sending me that letter?)
Naturally, I must have a FOTC song today then. Even if it is not one of the traditional Sunday songs I would have posted.
Speaking of Sunday... Every Saturday night around eleven, I freak out because I think it's Sunday and that I've missed our skype chat. But it's always Saturday. And I've never forgotten it on an actual Sunday. Thankfully.
So today's song is my favorite FOTC song, Leggy Blonde. It's just so epic. It will withstand the test of time.
On that note, have a good Sunday and I'll talk to you tonight. Provided my computer doesn't totally die on me. ALSO, I need more ideas for pictures to photoshop. I am running out of threes.

Everyone in my house has the same shirt.
And a couple days ago, both Joe and mom were wearing it.
So I was feeling kind of left out. I totally went and put my shirt on, so we all matched.
We are so freaking cool.
Anyways. Shoshana, you saw Sectionals, that episode of Glee. Alex, you haven't. But we were talking about our future Barbra-thon, when you both come back to me. And today's song was sung by Rachel on Glee, but it was originally done by Barbra Streisand. And Rachel - Lea - actually did an awesome job on it. Maybe it's a Jewish thing, I don't know. Either way, I thought you should also know what the original sounds like, and it can also be a tiny segue into your presently Barbra-free lives.
Rain on My Parade is from my favorite Barbra Streisand movie, Funny Girl. It was probably the third movie I saw with her in it. The first being The Way We Were. The second, The Mirror Has Two Faces.
ANYWAAAAYS. I write far too much every day. So I'll leave you with the video. Because I've still got an hour left on Day Three to do some more photoshopping. Honing my craft, here. Leave suggestions for who we can be in the comments.
This is what you've been missing out on by not watching Barbra Streisand movies.
Talk to you tomorrow, loves!

My computer is a German airplane.
A total Fokker.
It keeps telling me it has solutions to my problems, of which there are many. I've had it about three years now, and the problems started about a year ago.
I just wiped it. Now I have 70 GB of free space on my hard drive. That's out of 100 GB, which I thought was pretty decent, especially given I only used to have 30 free GB. But it still freezes. It still takes too long to start up, if it does that at all.
Anyways. I have a lot of programs that start automatically when I log on - MSN, Skype, that annoying sidebar, Windows Defender, Windows Live Call, which I have never used and never intend to, and the thing that has computer problems and its solutions. So when I log on, I close all these programs, in fear that all of them running at once will cause my computer to die for good.
But today, I finally clicked on the problem reports and solutions thing because it was in my way and keeept popping up every two minutes. And THEN.
Then, it was all "Yeah, sorry dude, we've got nothing. No solutions here."
Like, eff. This thing sends out more mixed signals than a scizophrenic.

FRIDAY!
I am thinking next week I will apply at the hospital. Housekeeping or Kitchen work. I don't really want to do either, but it'd be like 15 dollars an hour, and I could put up with boredom for that. I mean, I did it for almost half that at International. But I had Mitchell, Michelle, and Ashley there. Hopefully I'll meet some hot cafeteria women, complete with huge facial moles.
Anyways, today's song is off Dashboard Confessional's new(ish) CD. It was released in November, but I forgot about it until a couple days ago. I only remembered because I found the facebook message I sent to myself in, like, August. I do this kind of stuff a lot. Anyways, the song is called Everybody Learns from Disaster, because it is the one that's playing right now. Great creative process, right?
Aaand my Thursday video. One of the last of the year! Weird. If you want to skip straight ahead to the lip sync, it starts around 1:16/1:17.
LOVE YOU GUYS! Talk to you on Skype in a couple days.

So, photoshop is going... well?
I am not very good at it. I would vair much appreciate any advice anyone can give me.
Also, GLEE. HOLY CRAP! I'm not writing anything because I know you haven't seen it yet. But aaaah!
So in love with that show. And I absolutely hate that I've got to wait so long for it to come back. I will deal, though.
Anyways, today's song is by Rise Against. It was actually the only song I heard by them before I went to see them live at V Fest. They were awesome and everything, I just never really got into them. But I still love this song. I haven't listened to it in forever, then I saw the lyrics on Aleena's facebook page, so I went on to youtube to hear it again. And right now, Mariana's Trench is playing on the television. I don't really like them, but it reminds me of Michelle and makes me miss my old job. Anyways.
Today's song is Swing Life Away (by Rise Against). And I've got ScribeFire again so I can embed the youtube video!
I am really hoping for some more funny mistakes to be made on a video. Need/Peed was the best thing ever on that Savage Garden video.

I still haven't customized firefox. Meaning I don't have ScribeFire and must leave you with one of those click here things. Which is just as well, because today's song isn't on youtube, so I can't embed it.
I recently (as in a couple hours ago, while talking to Shoshana on Skype and searching for a new profile picture on Facebook) discovered that ONE picture exists that contains me, and both my best friends. I have plenty of pictures of the two of them together, because I seem to spend my life behind the camera. And I have plenty of pictures of me with both of them, just never at the same time. So I'm downloading Photoshop. I am going to learn how to use it in the next thirty days (crack didn't work, unfortunately) and I will make some pictures of the three of us. Which is fine and dandy, because they've been saying I need a project to keep me busy. This is it!
Anyways, today's song is Coca Cola by the Smiles. I really really like it. If you have time, you should listen to Sun too. Coca Cola will play automatically, so don't worry about all the places you can click.
PS their music is downloadable at bandcamp.com, for free

I had a wonderful time wiping my computer today.
Actually, I wanted to use the computer's AC adapter cord to hang myself. But as you can tell, I didn't. I'm in the living room right now, because I didn't write down my router password. Well, I wrote it down. On a Wordpad document. Which got erased with all my files. So I have to re-routerize my computer. And Hello, Dolly! is on the tv, anyways. So I'm watching that. Love my Babs.
And you know me, even when my computer is in crisis, I have to fix it so I can post a video every day. It's a disease. And when I couldn't post for a few days during the move and everything.... that was torture. ANYWAYS.
Today's song was on season three of Grey's Anatomy. Don't ask how I remember three seasons back. The song was stuck in my head a couple days ago. I hope the same thing doesn't happen to you. Not because it's a bad song. Just because it sucks to have a song in your head all day.
I really wish at least one of you had read Catcher in the Rye so I could make a divergence joke. But even that is so obscure that if you had read it, you may not remember it. It's not even important to the plot in any way. There I go again. So the song is What Can I Say by Brandi Carlile.
I hope the link works. I know it's got Rory from Gilmore Girls in it, but I like GG, so what the heck.
You are an impractical, seven-foot-tall nincompoop!
(Best line from Hello, Dolly!) also: "I'm promoting you from idiot apprentice to incompetent flake."
Enjoy your Tuesdays

Before I tell you the song, I am going to write of more pressing matters. Formspring. I am addicted to it. Basically, anyone can go on and ask anyone any question they want. I asked Ashley how she felt about pillows. She is in favor of them as long as they are suitable weapons. Here is a question I just finished answering, before starting this post:
Who do you think is asking this question?
I logged on to youtube for the first time in a couple days and saw TWO covers (by different youtubers) of the same song. So I gave the song a listen. And I liked the covers better. Don't get me wrong, I love John Mayer. I just really like these two youtubers. The song is called Half of My Heart and it features Taylor Swift. Which, usually ensures me liking the song (and I'm dead, I know, don't make fun of me). Anyways. I'm going to post both the covers. The first is by Gerald, who has already been on PANSED twice for his covers. And the second is by Kina Grannis, who has already been on twice for her covers. I'm sensing a pattern.
Who do you think is asking this question?
Grover? You're not supposed to contact me until you've agreed to stop stealing my cookies.
It makes more sense if you know my formspring username: CookieMonstaaas
So people can go to my page and ask any question anonymously and I can choose whether or not to answer, but I always do. So far, at least. Even the rude ones. I encourage you all to leave me a question. The more random, the better. ANYWAYS, the song.I logged on to youtube for the first time in a couple days and saw TWO covers (by different youtubers) of the same song. So I gave the song a listen. And I liked the covers better.

I was thinking a few days ago about the music I listened to when I was younger.
Like, when everyone LOVED the Spice Girls, the Backstreet Boys and N'Sync. That age.
For us, that was grade two-four-ish. I remember being in grade four, when we had those awesome book fairs. The one year my mom gave me money for that, I spent it on a Backstreet Boys package. It was there I learned that one time, Nick pushed Kevin off stage during a rehearsal. And that Kevin had a crush on Michelle Pfeiffer. I'm not making this up, and I actually remembered that. My sister and I used to call Nick The Flabby-Flabberghasted-Pile-of-Flab. I don't know why. It was her idea. Anyways, I still listen to those three bands. But one band I REALLLY loved back then, after the Spice Girls split up, was Savage Garden. And yes, okay, I still listen to them.
Anyways, today's song is Truly Madly Deeply by Savage Garden. I think you guys might listen to Sunday's song on Monday, however, so I've stopped thinking of Sunday songs.

I am really really really excited about today's song.
It's a good one. Shoshana and I played it over and over the first time we played Guitar Hero. We were awesome.
And I usually get 98-100 percent singing it on Rockband. On all levels, not that I'm bragging.
Anyways, it's Carry on Wayward Son by Kansas. Love it. Small amount of writing today. Giving you a break :)

I am learning today that saying goodbye is never easy. No matter whose idea it is or was. I just really wish I had one of my friends here to hold me in an awkward embrace like last time, as I cry my tear ducts into dehydration.
Gah. Too emo-y for the blog? I apologize. Anyways, I am starting my holiday baking. Sort of holiday baking, as my parental unit does not believe in Christmas. My self-declared pagan mother has been worn down (as I knew would happen) and is buying me a present. Provided I think of something I want. They also have no problems with me baking. Obviously.
But this also means I'll be sending some cookies out to my friends for Christmas. Just small care packages for friends far away (which is pretty much every friend, at the moment). So tell me your favorite types of cookies. Gingersnaps and butter cookies stay fresh longer, but I make no guarantees for the quality of your received cookies. Hopefully they'll still taste the same. And these might be late. I has no job yet. But maybe I'll get my mom to do it and I'll pay her back later. Rambling again. Happens a lot. Okay. The song of the day is True Colors. Another Cyndi Lauper song, yes, but this is the version by the cast of Glee, because I absolutely loved it.
I'm totally about to ramble again, so feel free to listen to the song and be done with it. I just think that Glee has so many things to say about everything. The last few episodes have given me hope for human nature. Especially in hairography (the episode this song was taken from), when the whole Glee club gets up to sing with the deaf school. I started crying. I know you're not surprised. Or when Quinn and Finn (still hate that it rhymes) were struggling with the pregnancy and the pressure, and the glee kids sang "I'll Stand By You" to them. I just love Glee and all it has to offer. I mean, some of the episodes are lacking, but moments like those make up for it.

Sometimes I remember really weird things that happened to me as a kid. This is one of those things.
My sister and I lay awake that night, a shared problem of ours being insomnia, even then, early in our lives. I was six and she was ten. Naturally, I idolized my big sister. She got the top bunk on our bunkbed, much like our eldest brother got the top bunk in his room with our other brother. The rule that most often applied in our household was: majority rules. But what that really meant was, oldest rules. So, as the youngest child, I did not get my way very often. The only times I held anything over them were the two years I occupied with preschool and kindergarten. I got home before they started lunch. So my mom picked me up and I proceeded to watch Sailor Moon until my older siblings got home. Usually, by the time they got home, I was on my second run of the movie, just at the beginning. Meaning they couldn't watch their after school specials. I did this on purpose. I was a very passive-aggressive child. I'm still working on that. Back to the bunkbeds.
My sister and I were having trouble sleeping, even after listening to Delilah on our radio. She had a soothing voice, and it was back in the nineties where they had less advertising on the radio. There was only Delilah and the soft rock love songs people called in to dedicate. Beth and I loved that station. We once requested that Backstreet Boys song, Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely. But the timer on our alarm clock had gone off, and we were laying in silence, waiting for the sleep fairy to visit. I checked to see if she was still awake.
"Beth?" I asked quietly.
"Yeah?" she whispered back. When we spoke at night, we made sure to be quiet. Our parents were usually just down the hall in the living room, and they always seemed to hear us.
"I forget," was all I could say. And it was the truth. I had been so sure I was going to ask her something. But by the time I went to say something again, I had forgotten.
"Okay," Beth responded. But just then, something went wrong with the physics, and maybe she shifted too much or too fast, or maybe it was just bound to happen either way, but the slats on my sister's bunk bed fell out, and, mattress and all, she crashed down onto my six year old bed, and onto me.
Beth started panicking, thinking she had just killed me with the force of the fall. I mumbled in between the mattresses that it didn't actually hurt - and I wasn't really lying. For some reason, the way it fell on me, it just didn't hurt. My sister didn't weight much, and I can't imagine a twin mattress being very heavy either. I pondered how to remove the mattress from on top of me, while my sister ran to get to my parents, panicking even more. She was thinking what I was - that dad would be upset we disturbed them, that he would get mad, blame us for ruining the bed.
But when my parents arrived, a short minute later, they did me the grand favor of taking the mattress off of me, saving me the trouble, and putting it back into its original place. Beth climbed back onto the top bunk, nervous now. I reassured both her and my parents that it really hadn't hurt me, and that I was fine, and I could go to sleep now. We said good night all over again, and I went back to staring up at those slats.
"Maybe you knew the bed was going to fall on you," My sister suggested after our parents left, "maybe that's what you were going to say."
"No," I said, as I finally remembered, "I was going to ask if you wanted to trade Pokemon cards."

"Okay," Beth responded. But just then, something went wrong with the physics, and maybe she shifted too much or too fast, or maybe it was just bound to happen either way, but the slats on my sister's bunk bed fell out, and, mattress and all, she crashed down onto my six year old bed, and onto me.
Beth started panicking, thinking she had just killed me with the force of the fall. I mumbled in between the mattresses that it didn't actually hurt - and I wasn't really lying. For some reason, the way it fell on me, it just didn't hurt. My sister didn't weight much, and I can't imagine a twin mattress being very heavy either. I pondered how to remove the mattress from on top of me, while my sister ran to get to my parents, panicking even more. She was thinking what I was - that dad would be upset we disturbed them, that he would get mad, blame us for ruining the bed.
But when my parents arrived, a short minute later, they did me the grand favor of taking the mattress off of me, saving me the trouble, and putting it back into its original place. Beth climbed back onto the top bunk, nervous now. I reassured both her and my parents that it really hadn't hurt me, and that I was fine, and I could go to sleep now. We said good night all over again, and I went back to staring up at those slats.
"Maybe you knew the bed was going to fall on you," My sister suggested after our parents left, "maybe that's what you were going to say."
"No," I said, as I finally remembered, "I was going to ask if you wanted to trade Pokemon cards."

I was looking through my profile pictures the other day
(as us narcissists tend to do), and I came across that picture of me and ethan at efy, where I looked ridiculous because I was singing along to Josh Groban. So I decided we needed a Josh Groban song for PANSED.
I mean, I don't think we've had any of him. Maybe one. But I love him. Plus I got two of his CDs from the library.
I seriously raided the library's collection - awesome stuff, surprisingly.
Anyways, it really made me miss those times at the KaeKano household where they would play his cd VERY LOUDLY and sing along JUST AS LOUD. I miss my friends. Not just Shosh (and, admittedly, Alanna), but Alex, and Hailey, and all the other friends I had in high school. Now we're all so far spread and don't talk anymore. Especially since I lost my cell phone. I would at least be getting those mass text messages (I always found them annoying anyways) around Christmas and New Year's. I usually got those from people that had me on their phones but no longer spoke to me IRL all that much.
This is getting to be another long blog post. I apologize. Like I have been doing so much of in the past twenty-four hours, as some of you know. Stupid internet fights. The only reason I regret doing it is because it was blown out of proportion. ANYWAYS. The song. Sorry. To Where You Are by Monsieur Groban. Not my favorite, but it's stuck in my head.
Days left until the great Road Trip: 200+ (I will be more specific when I actually remember what day it is presently)
Hayley G Hoover does something akin to this on her blog, except hers is filled with Sexy and Unsexy things, and how many chipotle burritos she has each year.
But I think I'll do something different. I'll do the day thing, and then a couple other things. To make me seem like more of a loser. In case you didn't get the picture. Stopping writing now. Sorry.

Wednesday. All caught up now.
Although, for some reason, the blog postage isn't working.
The blog itself is all messed up today.
I went on, to find out I wasn't following anybody (LIES! I am following my two best friends, my best internet friend, and some other amazingly awesome people like Kristina Horner and Maureen Johnson).
Also, the Twitter Updates on the side are by a person that is not me. At first I thought someone had hacked into my Twitter, but no. And they also seem to be having the same problem with their blog to twitter thing.
And now it won't let me post anything! Argh. Anyways, now that I have internet, I need to catch back up on my shows. And I read my comments, but didn't really respond to any, but Shoshana, I admire you for reading that whole post. I had been holding back from giving that much information about every song. But I guess 80s week forced me into it because I believe very strongly in the 80s. Though you probably didn't care what the songs were about. Le sigh. There I go again, writing too much. Apologia.
Today's song is We Will Become Silhouettes by the Postal Service.

Yeah, still Wednesday. But I'm pretending it's a Tuesday.
And I feel bad about omitting Cyndi Lauper last week, so here's one. Time after Time, because Paul Anka covered it on his recent CD. And I love my Paul Anka.

Hooray for internet.
It's not wireless- I'm surviving off ethernet in the living room. But still, I have a full range of service that can't be disconnected, except in such cases as happened today, when the power went out. I was on the internet for about half an hour, listening to some station on the tv, when the power just went out. Lame. But it's all sorted out now. We got a PVR, which means my mom has a new remote control to be confused by. I look forward to the ensuing hilarity, especially when she is tipsy.
Anyways. It's Wednesday, sure, but I need to catch up. Can't leave my dear friends without songs every day, even if those days have passed.
There is no theme this week. But I will make it up to you in January, when EVERY WEEK WILL BE THEMED. I saved my best themes for January. I am excited for it.
Anyways, today's song is Carry You by Jimmy Eat World. I looove them. And my favorite song from Chase This Light is actually Dizzy, but I'm going with Carry You because I feel like it.
Also, the tweets happening over there-> uh... actually not mine. Which is weird.

You don't really think I would let the week end without an Air Supply song, do you?
It's pretty much my favorite 80s band. Well, I'm not sure about that. I loved it all.
Anyways, Sunday's song is Making Love Out of Nothing At All.
I probably won't be able to talk to you guys on Sunday, which is sad. But I hope you both enjoy it anyways. If I'm not there, just spill the juice, Alex. I really don't mind. You can tell me in your next letter.

This is Saturday's song, for clarification.
Here's a really good one. My mum suggested it. I'm sure she hated it, like she did all things eighties (BLASPHEMER) but at least she gives me songs when I need them. Hungry Like the Wolf by Duran Duran.
Also, guys, I'm not sure if these links to youtube are working, because they don't have Flash here. I hope they are working. I love you guys, and I really miss you.

Okay. Now I am all caught up. It's Friday today! Woot.
I didn't actually know that until my mom told me. I hope I'll be able to have internet soon to communicate with my friends via skype.
Today's song is: Is This Love by White Snake. I know you love it, with all your heart.

Thursday was yesterday, but I am catching up.
Shoshana, please send that letter asap, so I can get an actual library card and do all that fun stuff, like reading. And that way I'll be able to go on the internet here any time I want, without having to get a one hour pass. Which is awesome that they even do that, but whatever.
Thursday's song is She Blinded Me With Science by Thomas Dolby. It was digitally remastered this year, which is awesome. Sorry I can't put all that neat info about the songs, but I'm in a bit of a rush. We're on the children's computers so if any come along, the lady says she'll kick us off. My mom and I are rebels.

Okay, very late. I still have no internet at home, so I am operating at the library for the time being.
It is because of this that I am posting up until 13.7
In case I don't get internet before Sunday. Then you'll have music. 80s music.
Wednesday's song (though posted on Friday) is Take on Me by A-ha

Today, Joe is going to pick up the truck, and we are going to load it up.
Then tomorrow we're driving out to Abbotsford, to give some stuff the Kelley and Adrienne, then we're moving.
We're doing it that way so we won't have to be driving in the dark. Especially with the weather right now. And we'll have a good night's rest before the move as well. And on moving day, not a lot of actual work. I just still haven't grasped this moving thing.
Now, today's song was a big one-hit wonder. Everyone knows this song. And since its release, it has been covered by at least 15 big-name bands of Swedish, Spanish, Mexican, Chilean, German, Canadian, Australian, and American descent. It was also on a Kidz Bop Kids CD.
The song talks of freedom and dignity. It's about society telling us how to to live; it's about people speaking up and taking what is rightfully theirs. It's about living life the way you want to, and not conforming to the ideals of others. It was banned in the 80's, but that was revoked in 2003. Some call it the ultimate rebellion song. By now, I know you're all going: we don't effing care, just get to the song. So I will. We're Not Gonna Take It by Twisted Sister.
HAHAHA. "Mini guitar solo". This one makes me laugh. Except the person needs to learn where to put capital letters vs lower-case letters. Oh well. Happy Tuesday, guys.

I wasn't going to do this, but this is my 100th blog post here. I am having another themed week. And not just any themed week. We are having music from one of my favorite musical decades. Well, that can be very confusing given that I love music from the 60's - now. But I loved the 80's. Without irony. And I was going to have 80's week in January, but Alex sent me some Christmas songs over Skype, among which was Last Christmas by Wham!
While Wham! may have only lasted five years, they have been alive in my heart much longer. Which is why I am starting this week off right with Wake Me Up Before You Go Go, one of their more widely known songs. They put the boom boom into my heart.

So I went to bed around 5:30pm
Then mom and Joe got back at, like, 7. I thought it was 7am, because I was so out of it. But it was pm, which explained why I was still so tired. They got home a day early. Point is, we're moving on Wednesday. As long as we can get a moving truck. I am very excited. This means my time until then will be filled with packing. I will be super busy, which makes me happy. While my mom was away, her sweat pants and I had a beautiful time together. In fact, we still are. They used to be mine, so I figure I have the right. I need to clean my room. Well, pack my room. It always gets like this around moving time. It's not that cool.
Alex said I don't mention NaNoWriMo anymore. The reason for that is I've finished. Sort of. I did my 50,000+ and then I decided to do some editing. Ashley calls this DeNoEdMo (December Novel Editing Month) except for the fact we have both started in November. So It's NoNoEdMo. Haha. At any rate, I am back down to the parts I actually (kind of) like. Leaving me with about 10,000 words. So yeah. Anyways.
I was looking for a certain song, but nobody on youtube covered it well. So I decided to go for one of my favorite songs, Happy Together. In this case, it's covered by Gerald Something and Jane Lui. If you remembered correctly, Gerald was the one who did the cover Follow You Into the Dark with Jinah. Also an excellent cover (but it was waaaay earlier on in PANSED). And it doesn't concern today's song, Happy Together. Yes. Onto the song.
Enjoy your Sundays. Can't wait for skype. Also, my countdown on Facebook has started. Please do the same. And remember, don't tell people what it's about. Haha I used Jordan West lyrics in mine. Not as mushy and gushy as I'd have liked, but still.

Wow, week 12 is almost over. Sad sad sad.
How have we all been enjoying our weeks? Mine was awesome. I was as unproductive as it gets. Sometimes you need a rest from resting. It just gets so hard sometimes. Rest can be unrelaxing if you do too much of it. LIKE ME. I AM BOOOOOORED OUT OF MY FREAKING MIND EVERY SINGLE DAY NOW. I almost wish we weren't moving to Kelowna just so I could have a job right now. But I know it's only a matter of time until I'll be in Kelowna with a job. Hopefully. Usually this time of year, they're only looking for Christmas people, but they hire all those in November. So I'm worried. I need to work. I can't do this every day. I'll go insane. ANYWAYS, enough complaining. So yeah, how were your weeks?
Shoshana, I know you were ill. I hope you're better. Though, from what I hear/read, you are. Which is good. Can't have you getting OinkBarf now. That would not be cool.
And Alex, don't worry about me dying of malnourishment. That takes time. I only have enough time to get sick. And by that point, I'll be eating real food again.
Anywhooo, today's song is a Colbie Callait cover, by one of my favorite youtubers, Amy Kuney. She did an amazing (and funny) cover of Fallin' For You. The funny is mostly the video, but still.

Happy Friday!
It's still Thursday in BC right now, but I've fallen into the habit of posting these at midnight (Alex's time)
I mean, now it's almost one, her time. BUT STILLLL.
Mom and Joe are leaving Friday morning for Kelowna. They will return (hopefully) on mom's birthday, where I will have cake and decorations waiting. I already said yesterday that I would be alone all weekend, but I didn't say that I'll be surviving off hummus and pita, and maybe some muffins or cookies. And maybe soup. We'll see. I'm just looking forward to all the junk I can make, eat, and then pretend never existed.
Anyways, today's song is originally by Sublime, it's called Santeria. And this lovely cover was done by Terra Naomi. It also ended up being the song of the week on the FAS channel, because it was the first thing that popped into my head.
And my video this week:
It was our 179th video, which freaked me out because the number sounded so familiar. I think I once lived in a townhouse with the unit number 179.

So it's technically Thursday, but I'm calling it Wednesday because I haven't been to sleep yet. Let me give you a run-down of my day.
8 am: went to bed (no, I don't have this backwards)
5 pm: woke up. Watched CSI
peed. Watched more CSI
ate. CSI.
Watched Glee. Cried Profusely.
Got on skype and talked with Shoshana.
Wrote half a song with Shoshana.
Watched CSI.
So you can see I'm very busy... AND SO FLIPPIN' BORED! Mom and Joe are going to Kelowna this weekend to scope out houses. I'll be home, packing. Partying it up with Jim, Jack and Jose. Shoshana, I hope you got that one, or I'll just seem like a crazy drunk. Anyways, today we have another Simon and Garfunkel song. I didn't realize this until now, though. I knew they were both S and G songs, but because they're both covers, sung by very different people, it didn't click. Until now. But we're not complaining, right? Everyone loves Simon and Garfunkel. Today's song is Sound of Silence by Kina Grannis. Let me know how you guys are, or leave suggestions for themed weeks. Although, I have such an excess of themes I think I will use them all in January, so the whole month will have different themes. Yes?
Onto the song.
Enjoy your Thursdays. I'll probably put my video up on the blog tomorrow. Or in a separate video later on today. We'll see.

I am getting so bored.
I really cannot wait for Kelowna, and to get a freaking job! I'm going crazy, watching old seasons of CSI.
Which, you know, is alright, because I like CSI. But I'd like something more constructive to do with my time. I'm so bored, and my sleep schedule is all messed up... (And I'm dead.)
Anyways, today's song is Cecilia, covered by Local Natives Band. You all know how I love my Simon and Garfunkel. Your mum and I were listening to it last night right before we...[censored]... and then woke up and went to the beach.

My mom spilled wine on my favorite flannel sheets! Uuuuurgh.
She got a call from the hospital today - officially got the job. So she was celebrating. Hence the wine. Le sigh.
I made pancakes this morning (technically yesterday, being Monday.) We saved the left-over batter, though, so I just had a couple more. Midnight snack. And we still have batter left. I likey the pancakes.
Anyways, today's song is one you prooobably haven't heard in a while. I was considering an N'Sync cover (maybe some other time) but decided to go with Destiny's Child. So, for the second day of the youtube covers, I give you Survivor, covered by the lovely and talented Julia Nunes.
If you would like to hear Julia's N'Sync cover (of Bye Bye Bye), you can just go to it now. See how I make everything so easy and accessible for you guys? It's probably enabling you to be lazy, which is probably a bad thing. But hey, I'm all for enabling bad habits! Within reason, of course.

We have another themed week.
I bet Alex is expecting a Christmas week. But alas, no.
We've had youtube originals, but this week is going to be youtube covers. One of my favorite passtimes is going on youtube and listening to covers of songs I love. I am sharing that with you lovely people. And we are going to start this week off right, with a cover of Single Ladies by Pomplamoose.

Childhood Trauma.
I don't think I've told anyone this before. But I posted it on my Tumblr blog a few days ago. I guess I am finally ready to share it. This is just one of the stories of my childhood that have made me into the bitter, cynical person I am today.
We were out at lunch time, on the last week of school, playing in
the trees on the edge of the school property, me and Cass. We were best
friends. Some of the other kids were playing Red Rover, which was one
of our favorite games, but we were otherwise engaged. One of the girls
from our class had found a caterpillar the day before. We were so in
awe of this that we decided to search for our own caterpillar.
Cass and I searched high and low through those trees. They spanned
the whole length of the property, from one end of the lot to the other.
We did not grow bored, and we did not tire of this daunting task. We
were determined to each find a caterpillar that we could bring to class
and brag about, as the other girl had done the day before. We were kept
cool from the shade of the trees as we ran around, trying to catch
sight of just one caterpillar.
And then, finally! Finally, I had found a caterpillar! I called
Cassandra over, and we gushed excitedly about our discovery. She had
never found a caterpillar before. And neither had I. But when the bell
rang, and Cassandra still had not found a caterpillar of her very own,
I had a small argument with myself within the confines of my mind. I
needed an idea to cheer her up. After all, she was my best friend, and
I had been taught right, to be kind; To share.
I told Cassandra that I would share my caterpillar with her. She
could take it home that day, then bring it back the next day, so I
could take it home. We would switch. She beamed at this idea, grateful
to have such a wonderful friend. If I had not been so awed by the fact
that I had found a caterpillar all by myself, I would have let her keep
him. But I was proud of my caterpillar. I wanted to show my new friend
to my mom.
My mom would be excited to learn that I had made a friend so close
to the end of the year. Of course, she would only be excited because I
would come home with a large grin on my face. I was going to go home
and tell her all about my new caterpillar. But he was a secret. She
wouldn’t get to see him until the day after. Cassandra got to take him
home today.
So the bell signalled the end of classes, and we all rushed out,
backpacks stuffed haphazardly with homework, binders, and the latest in
walkman technology. I waved goodbye to Cassandra, and little Cody, as
we had decided to name him. I pet Cody, told him I would see him
tomorrow, and he could meet my mom. I could tell he was excited.
When I got to school the next day, I met Cassandra in the morning,
as we waited for the doors to open. I asked about Cody. She told me she
had left him at home. She apologized profusely. I simply smiled, told
her it was no big deal. After all, it wasn’t. Everyone made mistakes.
What kind of friend would I be if I did not forgive her?
The next day, however, Cassandra had forgotten Cody again. She told
me she was sorry, but this time my smile was reluctant and my
acceptance of her apology was rather forced. We had made an agreement.
We were supposed to take turns with Cody! And we had both promised to
be there from the moment he made his cocoon to the moment he became a
butterfly. Once Cody became a butterfly, we would release him. Our
young selves were naive, and Cassandra was a little selfish.
I had offered to share my caterpillar with her! My caterpillar! And
here she was, pretending to have forgotten to bring him. I knew
Cassandra well, and I knew when she was lying. She did not want me to
have Cody. She wanted to keep him all to herself. My sister had spoken
of her backstabbing friends before, but I had never believed my friends
would do any of those things to me. Oh, had I been wrong.
The last day of school came quickly, and Cassandra and I were still
friends. My fourth-grade self wanted to believe that third-grade
Cassandra would be there for me. I wanted to believe that she would
surprise me with Cody on the last day of school. I had faith in my
friend. I knew she would not let me down.
But on the last day of school, Cassandra told me that Cody had built
a cocoon and he would probably become a butterfly. She would probably
go home from school, and he would be a pretty butterfly. I asked to
come over, to see this transformation. But Cassandra was grounded. She
was not allowed to have friends over that day. So she said goodbye and
headed off in the direction of home.
The next year, when I returned to that school, Cassandra and I were no longer friends.
Partial side-note: We eventually ended up going to the same high school, my senior year. We passed each other in the halls a lot, but we ignored each other every time.

11.7
Aaahhhhhhh. So tired.
I just packed over half my room up. Kelowna is coming up soon so we panicked a little today and crammed/packed things up. I don't know how mom and Joe are doing, but I have no books left (except the one I need to give back to Hailey) and the ones I need for Sunday. And I have almost no clothes left. Left some t-shirts and a couple nice shirts, and some skirts and shoes. But I packed up my comfortable shoes (no long walks for me). I packed up my CDs, my random junk that can't really be labelled, and some hair products and tools.
I threw out probably half my clothes (filled a whole garbage bag, very sad). And I threw out a bunch of other stuff, I'm FINALLY getting rid of that super old CD player. We're giving my TV to Kelley, Adrienne, and Connor because they don't have anything after leaving my dad's. And they get my DVD player, and... my VCR. I am very sad about it. They also get both my boxes of Disney VHS's, because I will not need it when I have no VCR. Le sigh.
I have two boxes sitting in my room that haven't been stacked to the top but I don't know what to put in them. One is almost full, but I need to fill in the spaces in between and around my prom shoes. The other is my last box of books (making seven, I think). Yeaaaah.
I just wish I had an extra guitar case, because I don't want either of them getting wrecked in the move. Well, one is already wrecked, but I don't want to damage it any more. I probably won't notice because I haven't actually picked either of them up since I moved into this room and placed them in the corner of my room. That's sad. I need to start playing guitar again.
I know I usually have slooow songs on Sunday, but I'm changing it up a bit. It's still uplifting, and it's about time I had a Michael Buble song, because I am enjoying his new album a lot. Except I feel like I've heard them all before. Are they all covers? Ah, just checked. There are two original songs. That makes sense now. Anywho, I have decided upon Haven't Met You Yet because I absolutely adore it.
Oh, Michael. I'm right here.

Happy Saturday, folks.
I hope you're all well and enjoying your weekends.
I was going to be getting a Mac for Christmas, but it's not going to happen. I am a bit happy about this but obviously quite sad. So if I randomly stop going on the internet one day, it's because my stupid computer has given up the ghost.
My family is watching Religulous right now. Meaning Kelley, Adrienne, Joe, and mom. I watched for half an hour but it's boring. So I'm doing this instead. Which will probably only buy me five minutes. So I'll waste time playing Solitaire until someone comes on Skype. Meaning Shoshana, if she remembers.
I want to try out Omegle but that's rather awkward. I was on for a few minutes and the conversation went like this:
Stranger: binoculars
You: ...fish?
Stranger: arwana
You have left the conversation
So basically they hook you up with some random stranger and you start a conversation. I did not know how to respond to "arwana" so I exited that pretty quick. I mean, I'm not going to sit around all day and list different types of fish.
I have better things to do. Like NaNoWriMo. Which sucks. I think I will re-tackle the same story for NaNoWriMo next year. Right now, I just want to get to 50,000 and be done with it. Although I still might write that love song for Ashley because it might be fun. Anyways. After this long post, you probably only care about the song of the day. Sorry.
It's Please Stay by Duffy, because it's been stuck in my head for days.

This is strange new territory for me.
I have to think of a song on the spot, for the second day in a row. I don't like to be unprepared.
Nonetheless, I have just the song. Paul commented on my wall on thesixtyone (being almost the only one who comments on my wall regularly) and told me that Their There finally signed up, but because he discovered a song that day, he wasn't allowed to heart them. So I max-hearted them (Right now, my limit is seven) so he can heart them now, too.
So the song thye have posted on thesixtyone will be the song of the day. It's called Scientific Dogs, so click this sentence.
Oh, and, biiiiig news to tell Alex and Shosh. Tell you both Sunday. If I still have access to a computer after. (Suspense? I do the best I can)
Enjoy your weekends. And the song. I know I already posted something by them, but ooooh well.

So for the first time ever, I think, I don't have a song planned.
This will be fun, getting to think up a new song for you. While I'm thinking, I'll write something else.
My Thursday video may not be up today. Kasey might be switching days with me. Or she's switching days with Anna. But I don't think she'll see Anna's post until tomorrow, so she's probably taking over my Thursdays *intense sobbing commences* and then I'll be... Monday. Okay, found a song.
I was searching for something by the New York Summer, but saw Tyler Hilton somewhere, which reminded me of this duet he did with Bethany Joy Lenz on One Tree Hill. The song is called When the Stars go Blue, which is originally by Tim McGraw. That's not today's song. It just reminded me of a Bethany Joy Lenz song called Halo. Just explaining the process of how I arrived at this song. Although, WTSGB is a good song, so I'll just leave it at the end. If you're up for it.

So I don't have a lot of time tonight.
My internet is messed up. Instead of having wireless in my bedroom, I have to go to the living room, which sucks. There are no blankets in here :(
NaNoWriMo - somewhere around 15000. I need to step it up.
Anyways, today's song has been stuck in my head for a while. And I want to sing it every time I send letters.
Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I'm Yours by Stevie Wonder.
Just realized it's also Remembrance Day. So, it's past eleven now. But make time to have a moment of silence, even if it's not until 11 pm.

Hooray.
I know I've already mentioned this, but I am so excited to move to K-town. I don't know if any of you have been there, but it's so flippin gorgeous. Ahh, flip. Every time I see that word, I imagine Elder Van Pelt punching me. Good movie.
So anywho, not a lot going on. Went through some stuff in my room today. Sorted my crap out. I have less than three weeks to pack. And we're hoping Kelley, Connor, and Adrienne can take the house over when we leave. It'd be the perfect size for them. And closer to work for Connor and Kelley. Plus my mom already has a job lined up for Adrienne.
Alex and Shosh, you might remember (or not) the family photo montage we used to have in our house? All those pictures of us as kids, like twenty of them, in one frame? No? Well, anyways, when we were at my dad's on Sunday, I took that. Then I removed all the pictures of him and put in new ones of us as kids. Now it's full of happy things.
Okay, so today's song is lovely. It's West Coast by Coconut Records and I just luuurv it. Sidenote - remember that Thursday video I did in the bathtub, where I wore the nose strip? Well, I figured out how those things work. I'm wearing one now. Thought you should know.
Another sidenote - In order to finish by the 25th, which is when the bet ends, I need to be at 18,000 by now. I'm at 13 something. Gotta step it up. But I think Ashley's computer died and her stuff was deleted anyways, so I think the bet may be off. BACK TO THE SONG-
Have a lovely Tuesday, everyone.

So, I found this song because I love Noah and the Whale.
Plus, I'm subscribed to artscrafts on youtube (which is the label they're on. Stars is on the same label.)
therefore artscrafts = awesomeness. See, I totally learned something in math class...
Ya know? one of those... stars = awesome, noah and the whale = awesome. NatW and Stars are on the label artsandcrafts. Is Arts and Crafts awesome?
Those were the only questions I got right. Le sigh.
Anywho, today's song is Noah and the Whale's NEW SINGLE, Love of an Orchestra. Tis lovely. Especially the old man.

Okay, so lots going on today.
But it's not blog material. So sorry, everyone. Alex, Shosh, I will for sure tell you guys tonight.
All anyone else needs to know is.... this might be good news. But it still sucks.
And Alex... I mailed your letter this weekend. But I just realized, this moment, that I did not put a stamp on it. So I will probably be receiving it back tomorrow (around one or two pm because our new mail man sucks). Then I'll mail it on Monday night, haha. Sorry about that.
Today's song is Honey let me sing you a song by Matt Hires. I could only find a live version. And the only good live version is short. If you want to hear the full version, go here.

Today's full of videoooos. Deal.
So today (still being Friday), my mum and I took a road trip (kind of) up to Kelowna.
She had that IRL interview I was telling you about. She has orientation on December first at 8 am.
WE'RE MOVING TO KELOWNA! So stoked.
But not so stoke-worthy: I lost my phone. It was either at a gas station in Merritt, or at some McDonalds where I stopped to pee. Those are the only times I left the car after the hospital, the last place I remembered having it. So yeah, no cell. Kind of sucks. As for the skype thing this Sunday Alex, just sign onto skype at 8:45 or something and we'll add you in when it's time.
So, last week, when I was saying something to Alex about her and Shosh being so far away, my mind automatically went (So faaaaaar away. Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore? It would be so fine to see your face at my dooooor.) Which is why today's song is So Far Away by Carole King. I'm also including the clip from Reba where she sang it for her ex-boyfriend (she left him for Brock and hadn't spoken to him in probably 20 years) who recently died. I cried. Yeah, make your jokes. I'm off to write more for NaNoWriMo.
OHHHH, and here's my Thursday video.
