Oh My Gosh, I Have An Awesome Weekend Planned(This Is NOT Intentional Bragging, I Swear)

Hey. Er...Like, nothing has happened recently. Might as well talk, anyway because I promised. Okay, when did I last post? Wednesday, Thursday? Wow, that's like forever for me. I think I'm rather obsessed with blogging.

The last two days of the week were alright. We had to work with the world's most insane class schedule--Courtesy of my science teacher--for the last couple of days. It made, and many would agree, no sense. It had to be shifted so we'd have extra time for our Math/Science projects. I wasn't too happy about that. Through a combination of laziness, carelessness, and my extremely dependant personality, I'm left jobless most of the time. I'd done the absolutely bare minimum for science, which no doubt contributed to it. I was more than happy to outline pencil marks in Sharpie, however, which is what I did the whole time. Friday was the worst from a boredom point. There were no computers left, and I'd been told to pick out the colors to use on the wings of the thing. Our group weren't even good at that, surprisingly, because we had one of those fashion-obsessed "I think I'm so cool" girls. Wouldn't she be able to match colors properly? Apparently not, which might explain why she's no where near as cool as she thinks she is. Our tri-fold looks like rainbow-colored vomit, or will do when we glue them on, and we're no where near as far as we should be. Fun. xD

The other day I got an e-mail from ticketmaster.com. I'm following a load of bands on there so they tell me when they're coming to Massachusetts. Wanna know who, this time? PET SHOP BOYS!! Cool, right? Well, I don't know, I think it is. Except, it's Saturday September 5th, the day after my 4th Killers show. House Of Blues. But oddly enough my mom said yet to the whole idea, and so...Another concert it is! It's gonna be the best weekend ever, except maybe V Festival, and we'd probably spend the rest of Sunday in Boston anyway. Funny story, actually, tickets came out on the 12th and I'd forgotten until the morning of the 13th. Even though they'd been out for over 24 hours, we still managed to get general admission! The Killers sell out in ten minutes, and Pet Shop Boys, after a day you can still get tickets to get right to the front? Shows how big they are, I guess. xD Anywho, I still look forward to it, even if I only have one album. I'll look into them more. Aaaaaah...<3

Yesterday I went into Barnes And Noble to buy a book. How bizarre is that? Actually it is rather weird, for me. The last book I bought was Oliver Twist in December because it was during a power cut and I had nothing else to read. I read about one chapter. I was on the hunt for Looking For Alaska by John Green. The only reason I'd wanted it was because John Green is a totally awesome YouTuber. Still I'd heard good reviews on it. I'd never ventured into the endless void that is teenage literature before now. These days, teenage literature is basically synonymous with "Twilight" which might be why. But considering I'm loving this book, I might bother to again...John has a unique way of writing, one that I can't really explain. A nice way of putting things, I suppose. I've been re-reading Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows at the moment but I by far prefer this one. I considered continually reading the book last night while trying to get to sleep...Well, honestly, I was hoping to fall asleep with the book in my hands. It'd make me feel far more accomplished than I actually am. xD

Time Spent Reading; About 24 hours

Pages Read; 66(A lot for me)

Today was a usual day. We went to this place a while away that sells English food. The whole isle of candy is my number one weakness, and I came out with far too much. And, he was playing Black Eyed Peas there today. He's usually playing some 80s rubbish(I'm full of contradictions, I know), like The Human League(Who you'd know as the "Don't you want me baby?" song from the Swiffer Wet Jet commercial, by the way), Right Said Fred, etc. I was slightly worried for him...Odd. xD

Music this week's been interesting. I've been repeatedly watching the Top 10 'Alternative' Music Videos on Fuse this week, because I was hoping for A Dustland Fairytale...Sadly, not there, but good anyway. I got this big addiction to No You Girls by Franz Ferdinand because of it. Actually I've spent a good deal of the week watching Fuse. The Offspring, The Fray, and Foo Fighters, specifically. And Green Day, but that was because there was nothing else on. Green Day get on my nerves, especially Know Your Enemy which I'm sick of hearing all the time. I've also been listening to Red Light Company(Who I recommended on iTunes. Silly iTunes for not having them already.), The Script, Chameleon Circuit, Kaiser Chiefs, and Snow Patrol. Good stuff.

PS, today I went on my Twitter for the first time I'm forever. I'm LoveBrandonLove if you want to follow me.

Those are really the only points I think are worth mentioning. God, this post sucks. Ideas...please?

Stupid picture time...

I'm Not Just A Metal Mouth Anymore...I'm Also An Elastic-Band Mouth(Plus more) xD

Hey,



So...Tuesday marks one year of having braces, there or there abouts. Because I got them two days before the Walk-a-Thon at my school, which is the 18th this year. Today I went to get the colors changed for 'em. I've been happy, because I'm "nearly done" with braces, how ever long that might mean. There were really only a few teeth that had issues, though those issues were big. But they're looking surprisingly good now, if I do say so myself. Today I got these elastic band things, that attach from the hooks on my molars to two canines. They're apparently, like, small practice ones before I get bigger ones. They don't hurt, surprisingly, but I can only open my mouth half way now. And putting them in was a pain...But, this means I'm kinda closer to getting them off. It's supposed to be, I think, Januaary-ish time. Only 3/4 of the time it was originally supposed to be.



So, I guess I should fill you in on the more important stuff of the past couple of days. Yesterday I had a Spanish field trip! I'm sure my teacher is disgusted to her core at herself that we've spent some time without the textbooks; We've been working 100 miles per hour with Spanish work because we're so far behind the other two middle schools in town. Granted, we were only going to the next town over. First we went to this Mexican restaurant that everyone seemed to know, and that I'd typically I'd never been to before. We had chips and salsa, burritos, and these honey and sugar chip things. Yum. Oh, and I actually have a decently amusing story to say! The girls at my table; Me, B, Br, M, and Ma(Like the anti-stalker nicknames?) went to the bathroom. While I was waiting for them, Ma says "Oh, they've got hand sanitizer", so her and B, oddly, spent a few minutes discussing it. Afterwards, M says "Guys, it's toilet cleaner..." which it indeed was. Thinking about it, why would they put a hand sanitizer dispenser so low-ish to the ground? The funny part was going out and telling the prissy popular girls and seeing their faces, though. Never gets old. xD Afterwards we were going to go to a gallery with Mexican photography. We'd been split into our two Spanish classes, the others were at the gallery first. According to the texts my friends had been receiving, the driver had somehow got lost during the five minute drive from one destination to another, and we turned up late. And Hallelujah we did. The only photography I like is the colorful, weird-looking modern photography; I can assure you there was none there. Black and white pictures of flowers and Mexicans and tiny houses...Gah. We'd gone to a gallery last year, too, and having every little "And this could symbolize..." of each picture painfully dragged out doesn'tm ake things better. It was actually only about 15 minutes, hoorah. xD

Today in health, we got two "Singing telegrams" from two music groups. I love how the teacher gives vaguely noticeable themes to it. First we got Island In The Sun by Weezer(YEEEEES!), played by the one group who got the drum kit and electric guitars. Then we got a group of boys who song the "Feelin' Hot Hot Hot" song, if that's its name, extremely off-key the whole time.

And third period the band, orchestra, and chorus(Featuring none other than Adele; http://www.thatdarnadele.blogspot.com/) had their spring concert. It got me out of English. The orchestra went first, they sang Hallelujah off Shrek. I love that one, always have. If Shrek was a little lighter on the Smash Mouth I'm sure I'd have bought the soundtrack by now, if it's available...*shrugs*. Then they did Blackbird by The Beatles. This will seem so weird to Americans reading, but in England most schools are required to do at least some singing...Well, actually a lot of it. Everyone hated it, but in 4th grade we did a Beatles medley. This was one of the songs we had to do, and I still like it quite a bit. But school does sort of ruin just about everything, like Beatles songs. Also they ended with something I didn't know, and don't want to know. Unfortunately, I have no idea what the band or orchestra songs were called, though I doubt you care. The first two of the orchestra were by a German, if I remember correctly. All three ended with something not too impressive, with a sort of...Background "History of this country" speech by my Social Studies teacher. Weird, right?

And, to add to the immense drama and craziness(Yeah right...) of my last couple of days, today the hamster got out of its cage. It's currently in the spare bedroom, so it's not like it ran around the whole house. But it got under the bed, and it wouldn't come out. I had to help; Plastic hamster ball, flash light, and part of a carrot in hand. My sister was too traumatized to do a thing. she dropped a piece of brocoli on its head yesterday and now she's certain the thing hates her and is gonna go rabid and bite her finger off if she goes near. That went on for an hour before we had to go to the orthodontist. When we came back it was no longer under the bed...So, we looked around and it was in the corner under our heating-system rail thing(Whats it called?). It took so long to find because, as I've always said, it looks like a piece of fluff. It wasn't moving, and I was the assigned "Poker". Thank God, it wasn't dead; Merely asleep. Hamsters are nocturnal, you know. So then it spent some time under there, running before we could catch it. Then over an hour behind a drawer, that we couldn't get it out from. We had to wait for my dad to get home, and get it out by tipping the thing over, with a wall of pieces of wood around the drawers. Finally! This will no doubt happen again, but hopefully not soon. That hamster's evil, I'm sure.

Music? Er...I got The Script's album, I've probably mentioned that, and I'm listening to it a fair bit. It sounds kinda mainstream-in-the-working but they haven't got to that point in this country just yet. They have some sweet songs, though. I haven't listened to my Beatles album I got yet. The Killers' video for A Dustland Fairytale released yesterday(It's already 7th on iTunes music videos!), and it's been non-stop listening ever since. I might do a sort of "review" of it some time(Would that drive you crazy, the fangirling? I'd keep it to a limit.). The only review I've found so far was really negative("When in doubt, let's pick on Brandon Flowers' music, yes?". I hate journalists). It's cliche, but it had to be. It's pretty, and sweet, and kinda sad too, but it all turns out alright. Watch it. It's soooooo cool. And Nevada-y guess. And at the moment I love Hallelujah, as mentioned earlier. I've got a slower version by someone else on my iPod. It took some getting used to but I prefer it to the Shrek version.

Wow, that was choppy...

Bye,

Oh My Good Golly Gosh; Concert Pictures!

I know they're late(I'll write an intro in the comments; This is gonna be hard enough as it is!)
