Aww, he's so sweet. Sometimes I wonder if he ever goes into the forums, and what he would think if he did... He posted this up on the site... Hi Guys I want to thank you guys for making the solo shows so much fun and so rewarding. You guys have been inspiring to me. I've been telling the band about it and they can't wait to see you. Finally I want to thank the kids in Pomona for their patience; i'm sorry I couldn't hang out after the show with you. As you might remember I cut my finger, but it looks like it will be allright. This isn't the first time I shed blood for these songs :) Love always, Chris "shhhh... SHUTUP!" Damn, I've been neglecting this thing, mainly because I've spent all my online time downloading concerts and new songs from dbclive. Speaking of pathetic, I made Chris saying "shutup" an alert sound on my computer.Oh, oh, and I found out, this really is a pic of chris! Hee hee! Chicken legs! sexy chicken leg man! BTW, happy birthday Daniel! 20! That's really, really freaky. I made a new desktop tonight, so I might post it up soon for personal use. I got the new punk o rama and it's pretty good. I like the "matchbook romance" song and there was one other band I liked, I think it was track three on the first cd. The randy song is cool, too. I like the little phone ring. Saturday, May 24, 2003
Oh, I forgot to mention, new Ibook, 900mhz,128mb,40g hd, Dvd/cd RW combo drive.I refused to go near it, though. Dad said I was a computer know-it-all so I got all sulky and refused to see it no matter how many times the probed me. Heh. I'm such a stubborn little bitch sometimes. :) I got a lot of new cds this week: Dashboard confessional - The Swiss Army Romance (GI!) Bad Religion - Tested Transplants - self titled Frenzal Rhomb - Sans Souci 59 times the pain - calling the public. I also listened to a lot of AFI, but over all it was a very "war on errorism" week. I love that cd. It's definately one of their best. I wonder when they'll come out to australia again? Looking back, I think they come out every 3 years or so. Whereas UL come out every three weeks or so :P Blink come out here a lot, too. But not lately. Maybe they're dying out? I wonder how long until they break up? It seems like everyone in the band is preoccupied these days. I think the "new rock" thing is a bit stupid because why would people want to try so hard to make their music sound like it's from 20 years ago? Music should be going forwards, not backwards. I think people get mixed up with the difference between emulation and inspiration. People will get over it eventually. But I guess anything's still better than RnB (except white boy RnB. I hate Justin Timberlake soo soooo much). I watched bi-centenial man tonight. I know a lot of people think it's a crappy movie, but I like it. I cried a lot though, which I don't remember doing as much when I saw it at the movies. I saw a lot of simularities with AI. But also Between Andrew and Dobby (because I'm weird). Oooh, ooh, that reminds me, it's less than a month till OoTP. i'm still contemplating wagging work to stay home and read.. I really need to make my own template foir this blog, but I don't know if I could do it in dreamweaver or not. I'll hatve to check it out, and DL a list of all the blogger codes. It would be cool if I could DL a dreamweaver updater that had them already built in. I read in a magazine that eventually everyone will have a blog. That would be crazy. Friday, May 23, 2003
I'm angry right now. this is the message I just put on the computer next to me: EMO IS PUNK YOU DICKS! Don't you realise that emo was a term that Ian Makaye made up to find people for fugazi before he started it? EMO means "Experienced Musicians Only". Not whatever the hell you think it means. Do you even know who Fugazi are? Or Ian Mackaye, or even minor threat? I bet you're one of those losers who think rancid are "old school". Why don't you get a life and learn english grammar while you're at it. It's people like you that make punk suck. Do you think anyone cares what you think is not punk? Calling things 'not punk' doesn't make you more punk, it just makes you a poseur. When you know something about punk, and not just what's "not punk", then you can post your witty little post-its around wherever the hell you want! heh heh. Wednesday, May 21, 2003
Dammit, I'd just written out my whole blog entry and then my computer froze. It was probably one of the longest ones I have ever written. I hate it when my computer does that. oh well. I'll start again. I was listening to 59 times the pain before, their "calling the public" album. it's really rad '77 style punk. But they broke up. Which sucks. I wanna hear some of their older stuff because it's meant to be more hardcore, I think. I absolutely love "girls not grey" by AFI at the moment. I've been brainwashed by my sister playing "sing the sorrow" over and over every night. Bryan gave me the video of it, too. And the "one in a million" clip. It's funny. The bassist in that band reminds me of someone so much, but I don't know who. His facial expressions are just classic. I have to ask him where he gets all his videos. They are good quality, and not just stuff that would be easy to get. Probably Kazaa. I should ask him to get the DC ones I don't have. I got the new frenzal rhomb album from him, too. I dunno, maybe it will grow on me. I'll have to ask Allie if the DVD is very good. (???) Their songs are sounding more and more the same...which is annoying. They're turning into a bit of a novelty band, I think. Meet the family is still my favourite album by them (cause it's more political). But 'run' is a really cool song, too. "Parks, my roommate, has really been getting on my nerves lately. Granted, he's my best friend in the whole world, but a man has got to have some limits. For example, Parks loves pizza- we all do, but he converted our room into his own 24 hour pizza parlor. He calls it Senior Parks' Pizza Fiesta, I keep telling him that the name doesn't really make any sense, but its hard to argue with him when he constantly talks in his Spanish/Italian accent. " College university is something I think is pretty cool right now. Optimus prime is the best. Hehe, that reminds me of Cooba. It's especially funny when he gets the marshmellows in his cocoa, and when he is making up the excuses for getting drunk off half a beer. I'm trying to find a free place to host pics. I think hpphotos.com might let me. Ha ha! I will now begin my "photos of Daniel"... erm...thing bwahahahahahahahahaha! Tuesday, May 20, 2003
heee heee hee, I'm drinking sprite ice right now. It's yummy. I don't really understand what flavour it is, though. To me it tastes like minty mountain dew. Sunday, May 18, 2003
My ears are still ringing. Actually, it's kind of scary. I'm freaking out because it's been like this since friday and it's sunday now.Anyway. I went out to lunch on friday, and had all-you-can-eat chinese. It was really yummy, no matter what daniel says. Friday night I went to Anti, to see bodyjar (hence the ears). I saw Lisa at the door, and we ended up hanging out all night. Underside started at about ten. They were alright, but like Daniel said, they sound too much like a lot of other bands. I wouldn't mind checking out their cd though (they had packed up their merch by the time I went over. I got a bodyjar tee though, only 20 bucks, which is the least I've ever paid for merch. Bodyjar were so soo good. I was front row the whole time, which was pretty painful but really fun, too. It's weird, there are always heaps of girls front row, and then the guys right behind moshing and pushing us all onto the stage every two minutes. Daniel scabbed so much free shit off me on firday. Free lunch, free tea, free entry to Anti, free beer. Christ. :P I'm joking Daniel, don't start whingeing again about buying us brekky that time! We hung around a bit after the band, and then went over to maccas. The chick serving us was so rude, I asked her if we were all talking loud, and she just gave us the hugest greasy and ignored me. So we just spent the next half hour around the corner paying the shit out of her. There were so many melbourne people there. And I get the feeling most of my friends who pay ou tthe way I dress at times, would be soo out of place in there (Daniel looked kinda outta place, no spike belt or piercings). Beer was cheap, which was good. I can't wait for blueline medic, Lisa said she be at that , too, so we'll be front row losers, again. But this time I'll wear earplugs (I had to take drugs to get to sleep last night, and I probably will tonight, too). I couldn't sleep friday night at all, which made me really sleepy at work, and it was one of the busiest days we've had in ages. Then the compliant chick came in and started being a smart arse to me, so me, being all tired and emotional, had a little sooky teary-eyed session out the back. This other chick I was working with called the boss, and the boss was all like "you're a really good worker, I know you work hard , so don't stress". So now the complaint chick hates me, and the other chick (who she already hated anyway) who rang the boss. At least now I know I'm not at risk of being fired. Yay! But I still have to put up with bitchy people at work. I feel like such a wuss, though, this is the second time I've cried at work, but it's just because people don't back me up and I feel so angry and upset. Like, it's not such a hard job, so why can't everyone just do their bit, get along, and then just go home. I'm not the wtpye of person to confront people at work, so I just let things get really bad. I've been so scared lately about losing my job that it was just the last straw. I'm writing this on my old computer so I'll have to swap it over soon and put it up on the internet.

I was just looking at this site And it reminded me of an idea I had awhile back. You now how "so impossible is like, four songs put together to tell a story? I thought it would be cool to make mix tapes that told a story. I'll post the tracklists up when i make some, I just have to decide what the stories should be about. I feel so bad for Mitch Clem. I hope he doesn't stop writing NN2S, because it's one of my favouritest web-comics. I love reading his little rants under each comic, but lately they've been getting a bit depressing. Plus dickheads send him hate mail. Losers. this site makes me happy. Except, the preview pics are irritating, a close up of chris's eye/nose area doesn't really help me guess what the overall pic will be like. Hell, I looked at them all anyway. Tuesday, May 13, 2003
"it feel's like they invited the nerds to the cool party, we're just trying not to get thrown out I guess" -Chris Carrabba, talking about the MTV music awards oh the yummyness of shorts. I swear, I will stop with the chris carrabba photos, just as soo as I stop finding cute ones. Gotta love the shuttlecock tee. *Sigh* It's not long now till we all find out if this is BS or not. The photo in the update section just looks like some junk someone found at the tip, but who knows...oooh. People are making up rumours that Dashboard are playing here in July. These rumours taunt me. See them taunt. Damn them. Rove did a funny little Harry Potter skit earlier tonight. I wonder if he's ever seen the fandom. I wonder what percentage of HP fans have actually seen the fandom?? 
This is my first idea for the poster for the night Kal is DJing at. It's not really going to say "title here", Kal just hasn't got a name for it yet Oh my God. How desperate are they for content for the BB up late show? Now they are giving away money for you to watch it! That is so pathetic and funny. it's Kate's birthday today! but she's probably asleep right now, or maybe still working on her homework like I was. I had chips with lots of vinegar on them tonight, to the pointthat I coul dfeel the cid burning me. Mmmmmm, reminds me of "Paint thinner - the drink that EATS you!" It's so, so difficult. Okay,I should probably sleep soon. Go look at these comics now. here they are oh, oh, and I don't want to sound stupid, but is this pre tattoos and sideys Chris or not??? 
I can't tell and it's driving me insane! Actually, it probably is, he has the same ears and forehead, his nose seems different, but that could be the facial expression. Oh, the over-analysis! Obessesion! Obsession alert! "This is where, the water becomes shallow, and nothing is as deep, as you hoped it would be..." Daniel told me I have too many pics of Chris up. Expect a special "Daniel photo Day" very soon. Anway, I worked with the "complaint chick" tonight, and it was so funny. I wasn't trying to act mad of anything, but I'm really bad at acting how I don't really feel, so any smiles or laughs I gave were totally insincere. Anyway, she noticed, and I think she was worried because she was acting overly nice and asking what was wrong. She kept asking "oh, have you heard any rumours?" and I just wouldn't give her any bait. She finalyl she says to me "Oh, I was talking to (my boss) last week and she asked how you were going, and I said you were going really well'!!!!!!!! My sister said if it had been her she would have said, "Well really, because I heard you put in a complaint about me." It was funny as. She was really sweating it, and it was realyl funny because when I was about to leave I dropped a box of mini spring rools and about 10-15 fell out onto the floor and had to be thrown away. usually she would have gone psycho (she goes psycho usually if I, say, put 'too much' butter on bread, or something like that), but she was just like "Oh, don't worry about it, it's alright, don't stress." I bet she's scared I'm going to go to my boss or something. I still can't believe she would tell blatant lies about me though, Some people are really really good at being two-faced. I could never do it, even if I tried because I'm too honest. That sounds stuck-up but it's actually pretty bad because I can't lie about things I probably should lie about. Sunday, May 11, 2003
god, I was just looking at that signed pic, and Chris kinda looks like he has blue eyes. I heard about a place today that sells every dvd title available in Australia. I have to go there... with about 500 bucks. There's a whole bunch of dvd's I want at the moment, Donnie Darko, High Fidelity American history X, there are heaps, But I can't remember them right now. I want to get all my fave movies on dvd. I wonder if dazed and confused is available??? If so, I must get it at once! I saw some pretty cool stuff on ebay that I wouldn't mind buying. Some dice wallet chains from Australia and a flaming dice belt buckle. I really want a belt buckle. I've wanted one for ages but they're hard to find. here are some pics of Chris and the gang I have found over the last couple of days for your viewing pleasure. I also saw this pic from a bunch of old school vacant andys or Agency photos, and there's this guy that looks like chris, but without sideburns or tattods. Or maybe he only had them on one arm, I can't remember. anyway, the pics 
(I think he looks kinda like rob sitch in the last one) I'm waiting for the day when I find every DC photo there is on the web. It will happen. My fav at the moment is still this one: Daniel said he has Winona Ryder hair in it. Alan rickman's fake American accent is so kyoot. (I'm watching die hard) It's funny because I am Hating Bruce Willis (stupid cowboy!) in this movie, and liking Alan. It's the HP fandom, dammit! Saturday, May 10, 2003
"Woke up this morning to make some coffee, everything sucks today..." I was halfway through the second panel of this stupid comic when Lucy came in and started licking me. The third bit wasn't going to be there until then. Let's just say I didn't get the best news today, I've been complianed about at work for something I didn't do, by someone who is always nice to my face but is obviously a total bitch in real life. What surprises me is most of the people I work with are AT LEAST ten years older than me, yet they continue to act like children. It drives me insane. Anyway, I have to work with this person monday night, so we'll just see what happens. My sister is listening to "sing the sorrow" in the next room. It sounds pretty good so far, but I still love AFI's hardcore high pitched screamy stuff. I liked them better before they sold out! Oh yeah, you might or might not have noticed that Indie Rock Pete isn't punk anymore. Good for him. I used to have the biggest crush on him last year. How sad. Oh, I saw Jesus yesterday, or it might have been John Lennon. Allie made me put that in. We went to KFC for lunch and she spilt my mountian dew everywhere (yes I am the one person who happens to like mountain dew!) and she wouldn't go tell them. I hate it when people make a big mess at work and don't tell us so it just stays there and gets sticky. Which brings me back to the quote at the top. Saturdays mornings I always wake up to make coffee, and they do usually suck. Today the coffee machine at work was broken, so I had to make each coffe one at a time and heat up the milk each time I made a coffee. It sucked. There is always something broken at work. It's funny, I used to never be able to imagine having a job, and now I do, I talk about it all the time. I just find it kinda interesting for some reason. I got some lil' comments thingys, but they aren't in the right place yet. SO I'll have to work that all out.  Friday, May 09, 2003
*sigh* It's still only up to track ten. Anyway, My mum is getting a new ibook from school and it might be 900mhz. Very exciting. Maybe it will have a DVD player in it. Then I can watch DC unplugged wherever I am. Ah. It's finally up to track eleven but it's 8 minutes long! Daniel didn't turn up to school today. I wish he had, because then I could tell him about my dream. I wanna get the little (comments) thing at the bottom of my posts. Last night, Kal rang Allie's phone. He wants me to design some posters for a new dj night he's going to be in. It should be fun. I'll post up picks of my ideas soon. Anyway, the track is almost complete, and Allie is hungry, so I must go. Right now I am sitting in class waitng for the antiskeptic cd to be imported through itunes. It's going at aboit 1.4 speed so Its going to take forever. I wanna eat lunch. Somthing bad like KFC, I think. Or maybe I'll just go for sushi. It all depends what happens once I get into town. I was in DA chat yesterday and I got linked to some cool filler bunny comics. They are kinda disturbing, but really really hilarious. I had a dream about Daniel last night. We were working at a "missing Link" type record store and he was in love with this other guy working there. I kept getting into trouble for setting the money in the cash register out wrong. They wanted all the notes to be in one part and then have all the gaps left with nothing in them! it didn't make any sense to me, but I was scared to lose my job, so I went along with it. Right now Allie is sitting beside me, reading my blog. I'm am staving. It's hobbibible Gah! It's onyl up to track nine. Stupid oldschool Imac!!! Baka! 350 mhz!!!!! That's terrible.

Oh yeah, I just came across this website, too. I've seen something like it before, but it's worth a laugh, or a scream. The most annoying webpage Tuesday, May 06, 2003
it is sooo soo soo cold . My feet have just gone to sleep. I think I'll turn on some late night big brother and watch for possible medical procedures. Well, I listened to the nofx album a few times, and I also watched the cd-rom. When did nofx get so political? It's definately not a bad thing, but it makes me wonder if Fat MIke has maybe being hanging out with Propagandhi more often. I enjoyed the slightly 'heavier' and 'faster' songs, too, and the lyrics were much more 'mature' (except for 'she's nubs', of course). I wish they'd put 'one way ticket to fuckneckville' on the album, though. I wonder if those tracks they mention on the ep really do exist, or were just made for the advert at the end. I guess I'll have to wait till punk o rama 28 (was it 28? I can't remember off the top of my head). I wonder if they censor these things? the security guard is hanging aound outside. It's about ten to six, so I'll probably take the six twenty six train home. daniel doesn't care that I have a blog. I think he's just jealous. I found out today at CC, when I bought the new nofx cd, that the new Dash CD will be in on the 19th of may. That's exciting, but weird that they would even put it up on the board there. Dashbaord are goin' big In Australia! I don't really think so. There's this new alt club starting up in geelong called "anti". I wouldn't mind going to check it out, seeing bodyjar are playing opening night. Then again, it might be full of tryhards. Daniel just commented on diesel sweeties "selling out." They have to much merch for sale, supposedly. I wouldn't mind getting some, though. I'm opening a record store, I'm so sure of it now. There a new vacant shop (like there always are in geelong) and It would be perfect. anyway, that's all for now. Well, now this is working, I am quite happy. I'm sitting in the computer lab at tafe right now and there is a new nofx cd sitting on the desk beside me. I will have to try it out when I get home. I bought it with a gift voucher my uncle gave me for my birthday. That's not very excting, but I assure you, this will become more exciting in the following weeks, ensuring it continies to work for me. Monday, May 05, 2003
Groovin. Well, hello people. This is my blog. Behold it's boredom enducing effects. Oooh, ahhhh. See what five hours in a road house can do to ya?. Yes, it makes you use full stops after question marks even though everyone knows qestion marks are just dandy at finishing sentences on their own.I need to pee. Right now I think everyone is alseep, and I'm really quite bored of writing the same things over and over because of quaint little errors. So I will probably explain myself more clearly in the morning.Hmm, I wonder, can I use HTML codes in this thing. I'll just have to find out, wont I? Duh, you need them do work! How much of a loser am I? I actually came online tonight to add onto a round-robin fanfic, but no one else has added to it since me. I'm waiting for the chance to slash it up and horrify the other g-rated writers. I dunno, maybe they would like it. |
