 Emo Are you going to be okay? I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. Punk Or Poser brought to you by Quizilla  Saints And Sailors "Don't say that "everything's working" when everything's broken" You Just want to be happy. "Dont lie to me" should be your motto. You arent the type of person to live life as a "fairy tale" you know whats real, and you expect that from other people. Unfortunatley theres not alot of people like you, your a rare breed. Which Dashboard Confessionals song are you? brought to you by Quizilla  You are Saints and Sailors! You're sick of being lied to, you wish things would just go your way for once. You have a knack for finding people who dont appreciate what you're really about- they never seem to realize how special you really are. They use their words like weapons, they tend to be very good at hurting you with how they act. But you'll get over it someday...really, you will. Which Dashboard Song Are You? brought to you by Quizilla Shivers, I got Saints and Sailors twice! scary! You'd think I rigged it, but I didn't! I swear! that's bizzarre! *groans* oh God! why do you mock me with this most sexy and perfect of your creations. (except fo the shaven bit) dude, it's not my bandwidth, so go take a look-see, and please don't drool on the keyboard...too much. This is why I love google. Ever since I heard about this pic being in blender, I have been writing phrazes such as "Chris carrabba shirtless in blender" and tonight, my prayers were answered! Hooray for yummy little emo Italian boys with umbrellas! (why the umbrellas?) How innocent and naked does he look? and how yummy are those little hip-bone pelvis bits just before the inch of underwear? God God GOD! he is too fucking sexy for his own good. Life isn't fair.

***WARNING, SERIOUS BLOG FOR ONCE, if you're in a crappy/weird mood already, don't read this******* Shit. I just played this song I haven't played properly in over a year. I wrote it once when Joel and Ciaran made me feel like absolute shit. It was a really dark, hateful song, and I don't know, it's just like... well you know how sometimes you can't listen to certain songs, cause they bring back bad memories? Well, I was liek that. And I played it, and I sang my little heart out (badly, mind you) and God, it was like I was back in year twelve again. They used to just push me and push me till I felt so angry and upset. That's why I hate it when people are mean to other people to "get a rise". Cause it's not fucking funny at all. It hurts like hell to know someone is manipulating your emotions so easily. if I had really hated them, it would have been easier to handle. But I wanted to be friends with them, and most of the time we were, unless they were in a shitty mood. And fuck, I'm almost crying now. I've got this shakey feeling all over. Liek I played the song and just sat there afterwards, thinking about it all. I think I put really high expectations on people, and they let me down every time. And what's the fucking point? If people are onyl going to hurt you, why open yourself up to them? ...Cause I don't know any other way to be. I'm not sly, I'm not reserved, and I can't lie. I've always had the worst conscience in the world, it just wont give me a break, so I pretty much have to be 100% honest 100% of the time. I don't think I'll ever get used to how hurt it gets me, though. It seems like life's just the same story ovwer and over with different scenery. And I don't get why it has to be like that! Argh! But when I think about it, the song wasn't about hating anyone in particular, it was just about hating the way things work in general.And how people don't know how far they are pushing you when yhey're just mucking around. FUCK THEM! What a bunch of losers. Seriosuly, what is it that makes people always give me shit? am I a threat, am I that bad a person? Could someone tell me, because I think I'm missing something here! People always get stuck into me for being myself. What else am I meant to be? I said to Mat once in a letter that I would rather have the highs and lows than just be numb, but I don't know if that's true. Numbness doesn't make you strat crying when you see someone else you care about crying, numbness doesn't break your heart, numbness doesn't make you want to throw something because of the fact people can't just get along with each other and get over all the bullshit. Mel was one of those people who could, like, she had "emotional intelligence" or whatever it is, she could make me feel better, Amt mat was always good at calming me down. Kal was good at telling me not to be a fuckhead, Andrew could always make me smile (when he weren't in hate with each other - I think that's the only phrase for it, it was such a passionate thing) But now, well i don't see those guys as much any more, and besides, they aren't the heros I make them out to be in my head. Friends and cool, but in the end you're alone. I'm alone. And we keep trying, all our lives to not feel so alone, then we die. How depressing. Thursday, August 28, 2003
hello hello. I should be doing work, but instead I'm here writing to my blog. Hello Allie, I hope you read this now. I got the motion city soundtrack cd today. I have not listened to it yet, but when I do, i will talk abo Monday, August 25, 2003
ha ha ha, I just found this at Dashboard confessional online It's pretty true, and kinda scary (how many times do I make a reference to DC a day?) 12 step program for recovering Dashboard Confessional addicts 1 • Admit that you were powerless to overcome the addiction to Dashboard Confessional and that it has changed your life, and how you view the world. 2 • Believe that you can be saved, and will be whole again, without earphones as a permanent extension. 3 • Affirm that you now seek outside help to attain a healthy audio relationship. Be dedicated. 4 • Admit to yourself that it is unhealthy to listen solely to the unplugged Cd over and over again for more than forty-eight hours straight. 5 • Slowly wain yourself off of these CDs, and sprinkle in other bands. Also, get a hobby that does not involve making doodling C .C repeatedly. 6 • Also be sure to call your local radio station only once a day, and your non-local radio stations only once a week, when requesting Dashboard Confessional. 7 • Make a list of all the things about the music that you love, and also circle those qualities that you find in yourself. 8 • Sit down and list off all those whom you have subjected to Dashboard Confessional. Circle the names of those who did not like it, and those who made fun Of Chris. Prepare to forgive and forget. 9 • Make amends with these people without calling their music Satanic, or hurting them. If the latter is impossible, please skip this step and crawl off in some dark corner. No one will ever truly understand you, or your connection with Chris.. So why try and explain? 10 • Keep track of how many times you reference to Dashboard daily. Limit yourself to one less every day, until you only reference twenty times per day. This includes lyrics, random facts, and quotations. 11 • Stop dumping guys because they cannot fulfill your inner desires like Chris can. And for god sakes stop sending Brad emails about how fucking hot Chris is.... about how his smouldering eyes cut right into you, and how you dream, and pray that he will realize how madly in love he is with you, will knock on your door and wrap those two tattoo clad arms around you... .cough... umm.... 12 • Find others like yourself and help them overcome their addiction to D. C As well. Go get yourself a beer, and a nice slap on the back. You’re now a recovered addict. Sunday, August 24, 2003
a TAS guide to the new 'hands down' music video. (it's R rated kids, so ask your scary uncle with the lazy eye before reading, okay?) Seeing the new 'hands down' video hasn't been seen by most of the people who read this blog, I thought I would do an in depth analysis (hee hee that word has ANAL in it!) of it. It's really funky, camp and makes me want to prace and write haikus about the colour pink. Here's one... the colour pink isn't very manly but it makes me prance about! or Dashboard confessional are so funky and cool double time groove! (that little joke's for the people who have seen the new dvd) But besides that, as I said in my last post, the design is really cool, and deserves notice. I wonder who did it? (if you know, call me now on 1800 I-PRANCE or my old number 1800-HAPPI-BACON!-WA) I have taken some bad quality screen shots for you too "oooh" and "ahh" and possibly "oh, harder, harder!" at (dirty little cretins!) and to basically give you some kind of idea what the hell I'm talking about* *knowledge of what the hell Cara is talking about may not occur. Reading sentences that begin with asterikses may induce vomiting.That may not be the correct spelling of asterikses. Okay, here we go. (im sorry if the pics aren't in the same order as in the video, bite me) The video begins with some fluro swirly lines giving me an epileptic fit and reminding me of the funky screen saver that comes up on the emac at school. Then there is tonal dropout Chris, and his tonal dropout friends (i'm not sure it they are really totally tonal dropouts, but as far as I can tell, they are, my copy of the video is very very shizen). A tonal dropout isn't as cool as a highschool dropout, but from the looks of things just as many illegal drugs are involved. That is, if there were a drug that brought on much pastel colours and a love of the colour pink. (don't write to me telling me there is such a drug, I don't wanna know. Well, maybe I do, but I probably can't afford it on roadhouse wages. Viva la tragic artist whining!) Chris screams in terror as something pink attacks him. Sorry buddy, but that's just the beginning. in the first chorus thereare some funky leaf things. i like the leaves. They have the double time groove. BOM to the F U N K! Leaves attack Chris and Mike, much like those other evil plants we all know and love, triffids. See, one's whacking Chris in the eye, he'll be blind, or worse, only able to see pinkish colours in the light spectrum! Back you prancing flora fiends! One of my favourite things in the clip is the cool hair. It's so vectorific! even the hair is pink! Okay, let me just say now, that I actually like the colour pink in moderation. Katie uses it well, and it's pretty cool at making something feminine straight away design-wise. I just find it hilarious how many guys will freak at seeing so much pink in three minutes. Well, boys, like Steven Biko said, "you're more pink than white". there are then some curly things and clouds. I like the curly things and clouds. But Chris, wont they clash with your Emohawk? During the video Chris does quite a bit of windmilling. Something I've never seen him do before, but looks really cute and fits if with the arguably eightiesness of the clip. I can't exactly remember what happens next (the flashbacks haven't started yet) but I think it might be this bit. My sister reckons this bit looks like he's spitting, but I think the stuff flying around looks much more like something else. Yes, I am speaking of trouser snake venom, otherwise known as semen. Hey, I always thought music videos were a bit of a wank! Chris looks less than exstatic about the projectile of manjuice flying towards him. can anyone here say softcore porn? There was also a funky stereo. Considering how much I love old school stereos, this was very 'Giiii!' worthy This was one of my other favourite bits because, well, it reminds me much of Bec talking about visual orgasms in class Chris making a facial expression every screaming fan girl could only dream of making him do. Scott's bass gets attacked by the pink things from the start of the clip. Ouch There was also this orange bit, where I think chris looks like god. (this one isn't in order) "thou shalt not make fun of my emohawk! it makes me look taller!" So there you have it. Lots of pink and puple and blue and bad rock moves. You don't even need to see the clip now. It's nowhere near as good as this analysis. Begone. Away now, I say! Oh yeah, I give this video five screaming emo boys. Saturday, August 23, 2003
fucktard of the week award goes to the guy who wrote this article. IYCLIBMAWMIB a pop-punk song! What the fuck? Yeah, I can hear the poppyness in it! Geez, if you are gonna pay out a song for being pop-punk why choose the least poppy song on the album? FUCK! And Marshall wouldn't dare diss Chris out, too many angry emo chicks to shoot or whatever the fuck white-boy faggot hating rappers do. *screams* 
you know you're not going to NN2S enough when you see the latest comic at some random emo kid's blog (this just happened to me). I'm writing the TAS guide to the new hands down video at the moment, It should be up soon, with screenshots for all you kids who dont own real player. Friday, August 22, 2003
YO! Waaaasssssssssssaaaaaaaabi! (yeah, the japanese horseradish stuff) I like it, but I think Daniel was frightened by it! Or it was hurting his mouth. Either way. I watched big screen dash today. Yayness! Bruce said he really liked the music, too, actually, it's really bizzare, all of the sudden all these people are actually paying attention to my musical tastes and going "hey that's really good, will you burn it for me??" Katie actually said she'd go see CD with me if they came to Australia. I know she just wants to do some peenie perving (don't ask)! Speaking of Katie, I just saw the new hands down music video, it's so graphic-designish! It's a very brave move, cause it's extremely camp, and I spose it's maybe a bit rinzen-ish, or one of those types of studios. But god it's camp and happy! It's like a happy little gay thing, even though it's about a girl! So pastel pink. Again, I have to say, very brave move, I don't know who it's aimed at, but meh, I can appreciate it for all it's tonal dropout eighties goodness. It makes me want to fill my illustrator pallet with various shades of pink and blue and draw expoding stars and clouds and silloettes of birdies and things! *prances to some random place* I'd like to be art director for their next video. If you're reading this, any members of DC, Allie, Katie and I have incriminating high res german photos of peenie positioning!!!!! (again, don't ask) So ou'd better let us design everything you need designed from now on. (as long as it doesn't involve environmental murals!) speaking of illustrator, behold the splotchy skin tones! Booyah!!!!! I like the eyes. But it's a bit too complicated. *prances some more* woooo! That campy DC video has made me all prancy ! wooooo! Pastel pink! Pastel blue! Lotsa tattoos! the confoosingness of it awl! Makes me prance *prances*. Tuesday, August 19, 2003

"James Van Der Beek?!?" well, I went to see blueline medic again and they were soooo good!!!! It was great, I would definately go to see them again. Donnie came and talked to us after the show, he was the nicest guy. We kept seeing him walk by to pack his car, and I was too shy to talk to him, but then he came over to us, and he was like "hey, you guys were in the front row, right, thanks so much for coming to the show...." and so on. He was so cool. They are so cool. They played all my fav songs, too. when they played "making the nouveau riche", I wanted to do the little clappy thing soooo bad, and there was this chick beside me getting into it (one of lisa's friends, I think), so we both did it together. It was so fun! I wish Allie had been there for that song, I remember listening to it once, and then she started singing in and I was like "WH-AT!?!?!" I couldn't believe she knew such a cool song. The most embarresing thing was that both me and Lis wore our bodyjar teeshirts! Nathan got a funny photo of it, I should write to him and get a copy. Actually, that reminds me of the best call of the night, these guys were like yelling "write us!" over and over (as you do when you want to hear a song...not) and the guys in the band yelled out "what's your email?" I thought it was funny, anyway. I'll talk about mel's play next post. Tuesday, August 12, 2003
*drools* if Dashboard confessional getting popular means more stuff like this, I hope they go #1 on the charts Sunday, August 03, 2003
Well, not that much has happened, i went to anti on firday night mel and sim came, so it was lots of fun - cause I've never gone out to clubs with them before. I had teat with Lesh, Nat and dan at fujisan again. I downloaded the so impossible ep and an alkaline trio album and also anywhere but here by the ataris. I made friends with this guy who owns a kdx server, so that's pretty cool. Very nice guy. |
