Tomorrow is election day. Tomorrow will change the course of this country forever...tomorrow is monumental. And it's OUR chance to make that change.

Think about it. This is our nation, it's in our hands. All my peers out there, this is our chance to be heard. Don't sit back and watch, don't use the lame excuse that we're screwed either way. We're not. Get out there and CHANGE this country, because sitting on your ass and bitching that you don't care about politics or don't like either candidate is just being lazy. Watch debates, read interviews, check out the goals each president has for this country - there has to be at least one of them you agree with more than the other. AND THEN LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD.

Our generation is slandered by the ones who drink, party, smoke, and fuck it up for the rest of us. We walk into a diner and it's automatically assumed we're not gonna leave a tip. Our character is judged on our age alone. DON'T LET THIS STEREOTYPE DEFEAT US.

CHANGE THIS COUNTRY. Get out there and vote tomorrow. We are the future. This country is OURS. It will be our childrens. What do we want them to grow up in?

It's time we stepped it up and spoke together. I know we can make this country the best it has ever been. I know by uniting our voices, we can save this country.

VOTE.

So I know I'm a bit late on this, but I wanted to share my story, videos and pictures from the Central Park show last Thursday. Between work and my out of state friends being here, I haven't had the chance until now!

( Screaming Hallelujah, we'll make this last forever. )

This time we're not giving up,
Let's make it last forever,
Screaming "Hallelujah".
We'll make it last forever.

Here are the pictures of the tour booklet! I took them for one person, but a bunch of others have been asking me so I posted it in a public entry so others can see it. I also typed up the bios in the book, cause they're hard to read from the picture.

( I'm posting the booklet from cover to cover, in order. )

As promised, here are the pictures from NJ and RI! These pictures have not been altered in any way by photoshop or the like. It was hard to get any decent pics of Jeremy or Taylor, as they were on the other side and the smoke made it really hard to take decent pics. I'll try for some more on the 28th! The teaser pic is probably my favorite picture I've ever taken at a show, ever. The way the light hits right where their hands are...I love it!



( Tons of pics! Dial up would not be happy! )

So, I pretty much had the most epic weekend of my life. Paramore on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (PA, NJ and RI, respectively). Prepare for a long, detailed story. If you're into it, dive right in. I'll post pictures and videos in another post, this one is just SO LONG and I haven't uploaded everything yet. Here is the story!

I am devestated and in total shock. Today, a part of me has died.

R.I.P Busted, you were so good to me.

Fri 14th:
Busted Announcement

Following the departure of Charlie Simpson, Busted announced today (Friday 14th Jan 2005) that they have decided to split up.

Over the last two years James Bourne, Charlie Simpson and Matt Willis have become household names. Busted have had eight top three hits including four number ones. Both Busted albums, 2002’s Busted and 2003’s A Present For Everyone, have clocked up over 1 million sales each.

Busted won Best Pop Act and Best Breakthrough Act at the 2004 BRIT awards and they were nominated for Best British Group. Most recently they topped the charts with the theme to the Thunderbirds movie, which was voted Record Of The Year.

In the course of their career Busted have sold out 50 UK arenas including 11 Wembleys and last year they sold more Wembleys than any other artist (equaling the all time record), consolidating their position as the biggest and best pop act in the UK.

Says Matt Willis: “It’s a really sad day for all of us but we’ve always said that if one member left then we’d call it a day. The last three years have been unbelievable and I’d like to say a massive thank you to all our fans- you’ve been amazing.”

Says Charlie Simpson: “I’m incredibly proud of everything that we’ve achieved in Busted. We’ve enjoyed some of the best times in our lives together. I wouldn’t change one single bit of it. This has been a really difficult decision and I hope the fans will understand”

Says James Bourne: “I’m devastated that Charlie has chosen to quit Busted, but I have to respect his decision and I fully support him and wish him all the best for the future. I would like to say a personal thank you to all the fans who have made the last three years the best years of my life. I’ll remember these years forever.”

I'm in need of some serious GG therapy right about now. >.> All I gotta do is get the PS2 up here and I can drift into my little dream world....the happiest hours are the ones where I can drift into Lorelai and Rory's world. Ahh, happiness knows no boundries there. (That's 'cause I technically lose all coniousness in my brain when I watch GG, so I leave all my crappy world crap behind, which equals relaxation and total hapiness. ^^) Until it ends and I'm back here. >>

Ah good. One obstacle done, I have the PS2. Now, which season and from there which episode? Hmm, I'm in a 1st season kinda mood.

Aha! 'Rory's Dance' with the 'Goodies and Gossip' feature. Awesome feature, it's like the Pop-Up Brady episodes where the little bubbles appear and they say little notes about what happened here or note a reference or something. It's fun. xP

Ok, I'm done. Off to watch my girls, my saviors, my happiness. Bye now.

I miss you little guy! You'd be 5 whole years old today! I hope you have one hell of a party in Heaven! (No pun intended...)

^_^ I sure miss him.

You're still alive inside of my heart
I won't let go
So don't cry any more, I won't be lost again
I'll keep walking to you always
Even if the world falls to ruins
I'll surely meet you again
Someday, until the day I come across you again

Tomorrow is Florida!!!!!11 Not coming back 'till Monday! WEWT!

Catch you unlucky suckers later. ;D

I saw America or Busted tonight! That show depresses me. xD First, I'm kicking myself for not being in NY when they were. Next, it pisses me off that people walk by them or something as if they're no one. I'd be freaking MAULING them! GAH1!~213!! Not that I would be lucky enough to chance upon them!! Man I wanna meet them so badly it's scary.

People I would mass murder to meet:

Busted
Lauren Graham (Lorelai)
Alexis Bledel (Rory)

I have enough money for the box set season of Gilmore Girls! OMFG MUST GET!!

Way, WAY too obsessed. ;D

TODAY IS WILLIAM'S BIRTHDAY!! YAY WILLIAM!

Sunday I went to Jackie's and we just kinda hung out for awhile. Then we went to Taco Bell and saw some guy walk in with Chinese food for the staff. It was pretty funny. Then we went back to her house and watched Shrek 2. Yeah, that movie rocks.

Yesterday was fun. Debating was awesome and then Taco Bell afterwards was so much fun. (Justin, Jackie, Blair and I.) Then Blair came over and we played DDR and watched the end of Gilmore Girls (GOOD EPISODE TOO AND I ONLY GO THE LASY 10 MINUTES OF IT! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!)Kendo was really fun too.

And today I had a check-up and so I left school with like 10 minutes left in 4th and after the appointment Mum got me Taco Bell and took me home! Whee. And Pokemon 2000 was on, so I watched that! I love that movie. Then I played some Budokai 3. I then went upstairs and took like a 30-45 minute nap, then woke up and played Budokai 3 'till Gilmore Girls.

Today's Gilmore Girls OWNEDDDDDD!!#!#24HOIHNTRH I love that show so fucking much it's scary. The second season comes out on DVD the 7th!!! Must buy that and the first season! GAHH1!!!!!!!!!

Oh btw, Logan sooooo lurfs Rory. :P Bye bye now.

Uh I suppose today was pretty good, actually.

I got out of school right after 5th period! For a doctors appointment, but my Mum screwed up. 10:15 appointment not 11:15. O_o OH WELL! I got to go home anyways. :D I watched Free Willy. Omg I started bawling at the end....xD I cry waaay too easily. Hey I felt bad because Willy was going bye bye! *scream*

Anywho...er...Oh yeah. No wait. Yeah. I kinda hung out after that. I layed in bed listening to Yellowcard's 'Back Home'. I LOVE THAT SONG!!! <3 AND I'M SPECIAL! I'm on Justin's favorite people in the world list! And he's on mine, of course. He's teh coolest. :P He roxxors your boxxors people, and together me and him eat mods! WHAT NOW!?

Yeah and the new Gilmore Girls was on tonight. The beginning was hysterical...Suki gets a little "crazy" when she's pregnant. She was reading a few year-old peoples magazine and crying over it! It was so hilarious. Lorelai was like "What's sad sweetie?" "The guy broke up! The guy with the teeth and the hair..." And Lorelai's like "God, Jackson, didn't I tell you not to let her read People magazine when she's pregnant?" "I'm sorry, she must've snuck it in! No wait, this ones years old, she musta found it lying around the house!" "Ok sweetie, we're gonna take it now." God, that show is so hysterically funny....Lorelai's comedy is so damn good. Cracks me up. And OMG! I had forgotten that Dean and Rory had broken up...I was like oh yeah..and that Rory had told Christopher to stay away from Lorelai because she didn't want him to screw up Lorelai and Luke's relationship...Man I wish I knew someone who watched this show religiously like I do so I could talk to them about it. And OMG! Next weeks preview looks mad awesome. Luke has a secret, one they might not ever be able to overcome...

GAH! CAN'T....WAIT THAT LONG!!!

I feel spazzy and giddy. No idea why. Actually wait, I do know. And all of you special peoplez who know my special person would know why. :P

Yeah I'm done. That was my random chatter.

Kendo was lots of fun today. Blair and I chased Mo around trying to take his piccy, it was great. Then Sensei was like "GET OVER HERE!" He told him to hold still and look at the camera and when Mo didn't he grabbed him and tried to hold him. It was so funny.

Anywho...

I hate English. We have to do this satyre play, and I don't have any friends in the class. So, I decided that I didn't want to work with any of the groups and that I'll just work alone. Yeah, but I don't really plan on doing any of the work. I've already decided I'm just gonna tell my teacher he can fail me, because I sure as hell am not getting up there and acting out something. Fuck that.

Today sucked royally.

My Father fucked up. He got pulled over while driving to NJ, they found that his license had expired, and they impounded his car. So, my Mother had to pick him up and tomorrow she has to go get it. In NJ. Moron.

My parents fought over it. I hate when they fight.

There was this HUGE HUGE rebellion thing on Gaia today. White Joker (some bastard mod) warned my thread for being "off-topic" all the time. He threatened to get rid of it. We rebelled in the "Help the Anime forums" thread, the one where you would give advice on what to do better. Basically, my large group of friends on my thread and two mods and a few others on the other side, saying our thread was more spam than off-topic stuff. We went on for hours....it was crazy. Eventually we backed out, it wasn't worth it anymore. The mods, who we started this all with anyway, weren't even posting, so we were arguing with people who couldn't even help us anyway.

The thing is, my thread has stayed alive for almost an entire year now! How many non-stickied threads can say that?

Honestly, I don't know what to tell them anymore. We just got frusturated and decided that it was best that we stopped arguing with a bunch of fuckers. We did our best in defending our theads honour.

Gah.

I hate this day.

Friday own0red at Keiths. Chinese food, that stupid horror movie...

Saturday was OK....best kendo class EVER! 'Course my parents were in a real bitchy mood...I need out of this house now. -_- They were better at the end of the night, when they told me that my bday present was the trip to OTAKUCON!!!! IN FLORIDA! I'm like...omfg....Blair and I are gonna have a fucking blast....

Today was so fun at Henry's...he's such a perv lol....and at my cousin Adrianna's bday party I had so much fun with all my cousins and aunts and uncles. God my whole family is so immature, it's hysterical. OMFG! Do you know that stupid Bebah toy or something screwed up like that? Well it's fuzzy and makes annoying sounds and is just plain CREEPY! Well Adrianna got one for her bday and we ran around the house screaming like mad and Emily clung to my leg for like 10 minutes pretending to be possessed by it...it was so funny.

And Catherine, Kristen, Emily, Caroline and I did Farmer Dell! (Don't ask, really.) It was so hilarious.

Other than that, I'm forking pissed off because my stupid ass parents won't let me stay 'till 5 for the DDR club...I want to shoot them in the face and my siblings so I don't have to watch their stupid asses. My sister has volleyball tryouts and she can stay 'till 5, but I can't!? Wtf is that shit?

This morning I woke up after having a dream my parents put me into therapy. I wonder why I'm disturbed by the dream.
