My Day...

...In ten pictures, and no more sentences.

Lyla! If You Can't Hear Me Call Then I Can't Say, 'Lyla, Heaven'll Help You Catch Me If I Fall'

Title lyrics; Lyla by Oasis.



Sometime yesterday, my sister came up to me out-of-the-blue and asked "Could you do a thing on your blog about Lyla?" Lyla's my sister's hamster, and like any child with an animal she's totally obsessed with it. Though, I agreed, and here she is.

We got Lyla...Er, five or six weeks ago, I think. She's named Lyla because my sister's best friend's dog's name is Mila, so why not(I suppose)? She's a teddy bear hamster, which means she's larger than most other hamsters. She's quite young, from a litter of...four, I believe. I can't say I was paying much attention when we bought her. I have very little interest in animals, unlike most people...Lyla currently lives in her flimsy cage in our spare bedroom...Well, it's not so much a bedroom any more, as simply 'The Hamster Room' due to the space the thing 'needs' and it's terrible smell. It's first cage broke a few weeks ago...Hamsters are nocturnal, so she spends most of her time in a little space at the top of the cage, sleeping. The opening there has to be held down with a book in case she gets out, and she also sleeps under the tissue that's there for reasons I don't know. She's quite hyper for a hamster...Especially when she's in her ball thing. My sister's too scared to pick her up(And I'm sick of her biting me and peeing on the floors), and my sister's annoying baby talk, unconditionally-loving stuff gets really annoying. But, it's nice.

I'm sure my sister would prefer me to be far more complimentary, but I do get creative control on this...And, she doesn't know my blog URL, so she doesn't need to know what I say. xD

And, yeah, I don't really know why she wanted me to write about Lyla if she can't even read it. She probably thinks the hamster's gonna get famous; Right, from like fifteen subscribers who probably lost interest a very long time ago.

My day's been another 'fail'. My sister's friend(Surprisingly, not the one mentioned earlier about the dog) slept round last night. They basically obsessed over Lyla the whole time while I was left on AIM, listening to their relentless giggling. Today my sister had an orthodontist appointment this morning to get spacers before her braces on Wednesday. And later in that day I had to go back. They thought I needed spacers too, realised I didn't, took them out, and gave me new, stronger elastics that won't break after an hour of use. We also got to wander around the center of town after that. There's nothing to do in my town. I'm so far away from the center I can't even walk there(Unlike the two other middle schools in town, lucky them). my sister showed-off to her friend in a toy store by using all the little kids stuff...We spent, literally, half an hour there, half of which was spent by her friend deciding whether the things on her bracelet were gonna be sparkly or not. And we went to a candy store, they got bags of M&Ms and stuff and I got a blue raspberry slush(The sort that makes people go 'Stick out your tongue; It's blue!).

I'm done watching my new Family Guy DVD, writing, playing animal crossing, etc. for the day. I've been spending time using the wonder that is Facebook. Earlier I had a chat with a girl from my school in England. We barely talked then but, hey, it's still nice. Today I collected all my Killers memorabilia together and realised how little of it there is. The only size able part of it is the nine Killers t-shirts I own. I need more random junk(ten, once I go get the new one at Hot Topic this week)...Like, I dunno, I just feel like such a bad fan. Would you say so?

Today I've been listening to Foo Fighters, The Fratellis, The Zutons, and not much else. I haven't been in the mood for music much today.

See you,

Summer '09; Day One Equals 'Fail'

Hello random(or not) Internet people,





So, this would be my first day of summer in 2009...Interesting, right? And, although I can easily say I despise the painfully-overused Internet term "Fail" that's the best term my brain can come up with right now. Come on... I'm tired, and feel as though I haven't got enough of my computer life today! To top that level of "fail"this post is gonna be...just that. This is a poor way to start my "Blog every day during the summer" plan that's gonna crumble apart in no time. But, things might pick up soon.





My family, myself included, all have this annoying habit of being lazy as hell, which is why I'm mostly lounging around all day. This day was the same. I spent the morning online; Psychology websites, YouTube, and Facebook primarily. It's the biggest time waster in the world. In the afternoon I spent some time outside playing badminton with my sister. I slipped on a piece of moss and got a huge cut on my foot. I considered it a battle scar, because I'm just that stupid. I wrote out "I Heart Blog" in twigs, but there were so many others anyway you couldn't see it in the picture I took. I sang along while my sister played songs on Guitar Hero, also, which I loved but it annoyed her so much. Me, my mom, and my sister also went out later that day...Driving down the highway, my hand out of the window in that kinda fun-ish way, singing along to "Valerie" by The Zutons. That song is, like, my perfect driving song and I don't even know why. We got more hamster stuff in Pet Co, and went on the hunt in Target for hand-held fans. We also came out with a lot of stuff we didn't need, like an Elvis magnet, and plastic cups with an attached outer crazy straw.





And in the evening me and my mom went out for a walk around where I live. I don't do that much. It's because, you know, mother-daughter time always seems sort of awkward, because I'm unhealthy and can't really walk that far, and because I don't like passing people on the streets for some reason. It's usually the strangers I dislike most. You have all the joggers dressed in their sweatpants and tank tops and Nike shoes or whatever running for the exercise, and then there's me and my mother; Myself dressed in a green "Periodic Table Of Music" t-shirt, denim bermuda shorts, and Converse, and my mother dressed in a navy blue American Eagle t-shirt, white shorty-shorts, and flipflops(Yes, her clothes are far cooler than mine). Anyway, my point is that we don't at all fit in with the typical fitness-obsessed joggers you see, and they stare. We talked about going to England, Lego Land, and V Festival, and a lot of music, of course.





Remind me, I must blog earlier tomorrow. I really want to watch my new Family DVD, and other worthless stuff.





Music today; The King Blues, The Killers, The Zutons, Muse, Elbow, The Beatles


TV: Family Guy, ten billion Michael Jackson tributes, etc.





Here's a nice picture of my backyard I took this morning. Massachusetts looks so much more pleasant than it actually is.











xDD

A Little Dedication Must Go Out...

...To my father.

Wait, what? Why would I do that, just because it's Father's Day? No, I do think there's something else more important to talk about today.

He's a musiciain...

And a singer...

A show-man...

An award-winner

A fashion icon...

A husband...

A father...

A friend...

A fangirl's fantasy...

An actor(of sorts)...

A ping-pong champion(Hehe)...

<<<<<<<<<

A special, amazing, wonderful, sweet, talented man who is my idol

And lastly, a guy who turned 28 years old today, June 21st 2009. Happy Birthday, Brandon!!

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!)

We've Got Galaxies And Planets And Moons. And An Awful Lot of Running To Do...

(Title lyrics; An Awful Lot of Running by Chameleon Circuit)





That, my fellow bloggers, is what arrived in the mail today. In case you hadn't worked it out already, it's Chameleon Circuit's first album. Heard of them? If you haven't heard of the YouTubers that I'm about to post, then probably not.

Check them out, they're good. Anyway, it seems as though this post has turned into some free advertisement for the band just as it's starting, so I might as well continue. They're YouTubers obviously(Which is how they've got the fan they have), and they write songs about Doctor Who; Or 'Trock'--Timelord Rock--As the genre is called. This album released Monday...I only wanted a couple of songs on iTunes. I can't say I'm exactly a Doctor Who fan anymore. I was, a couple of years ago. I just sort of gave up watching them half way through series three, and have yet to return to finish the series, and start series four. Still, the episodes I've seen I absolutely love. But, I did end up ordering the whole album...I guess I'll explain that in a sec. I was, like, ridiculously excited to get this CD. Odd, considering I know like four songs, and only have a vague idea what some of them are about. It finally arrived today in the mail. My mom first mistook it for one of my dad's birthday presents, but after seeing the "DFTBA records" label, I snatched it and ripped the packaging off. I, like, fangirl screamed. Why? Look at this...

This little beauty was my whole reason for ordering the album. Nerimon--Alex--had said that about half of them would be signed like this! I get more pessimistic by the day, weirdly, so I didn't expect it to happen to me. But...Well, I was like "Oh my god!", even though its not like the chances of it happening were that slim. Still...It's absolutely amazing, right? Alex wrote on it!

Oh, and DFTBA stands for 'Don't Forget To Be Awesome' but apparently 'Don't forget that brains attract', 'Darling, fetch the battle axe', and 'Dinosaurs failed to beat asteroid' are equally acceptable.

This post must seem so stupid to others...I'm pretty sure I'm the only one reading who cares. But, this means I've mastered the art of uploading computer pictures to my blog. So, yes, enjoy that. This is the most successful thing of the day...All I've done is go birthday shopping for my dad in Barnes and Noble and to Pet Co for yet more hamster stuff, stay online, and watch TV. Oh, and I'm mastering Samurai Sudoku on the next difficulty. So...yeah, take that.

Bye, <33333
