I'M GOING TO A QUEENSRYCHE CONCERT IN APRIL. IT WILL KICK SO MUCH ASS THAT WHATEVER ASS GETS KICKED IN THESE SITUATIONS WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO SIT AGAIN. THAT IS ALL.

Life. Is. Good.
I got Geoff Tate's official wine, Insania. It's some kind of amazing. Well, I don't really know that for sure...after all, I won't be opening it until House of Eternity comes out. Geoff Tate is gonna star as the bad guy! ^^ 'Course as of now, nobody has a clue when it'll be out, so I have a long wait to pop that bad boy.
Also, in random news, I love Pippin.
Peregrin Took is still the embodiment of awesome, and anyone who disagrees shall be sentenced to 5 years in a prison cell with the same Care Bears movie on endless repeat showing on every wall; big ol' wall-sized TV thingies.
What a bummer, my ice cream is expired...
Oh yeah! I got new music!! I finally got more Vitas, and I also now have BiS. Dima Bikbaev and Vlad Sokolovsky. They look like kids, but their voices are like...how to describe them? Gorgeous, of course. Resonating. Controlled. Deep, confident and loads of fun. 'Course the fact that they're pretty Russian boys like Vitas helps a bit...XD But it should be known that they are not on the same level as Vitas. One rung below on "favorite Russian artists so far".
Hoo boy, I am fail. ^^;;
Alrighty then, I've wasted a fair amount of time. I am so OUTTA here!
Peace.

Here it is...the reappearance of my Disney/WB/any-other-animated-movie-I-may-fancy obsession. You betcha, sweetcheeks.
Strted out with Fern Gully...then Thumbelina...Treasure Planet...Beauty and the Beast...Robin Hood...*sigh* the list goes on and on and on. ^^;
What a switch from Jokers and Sweeney Todds, huh? XD
Har har, I'm so fickle. ^^

Ho hum, back to the same old boredom and sack-of-uselessness-ness. Drowning myself once again in waves of music, watching The Dark Knight over and over. When the hell am I going to be tired of it?? I'm just fixated on The Joker. This obsession should have been curbed by now...ah well.
Yeah, so my latest poem is from Joker's perspective, my new youtube search is stuck on Joker, all my new deviantart favorites are Joker...somebody HIT ME!! I'm becoming the very obsessive fangirl I used to chide and deride...
TT TT
I even have a poster. And wallpaper. And drawings. I'm coveting the custom Chuck Taylor shoes with Joker on them. Several things on ebay...dammit.
WHEN WILL IT END????
Hm...if Russell wasn't my cousin I'd have the biggest crush on him...
O.o ... where did that come from???
Mein Gott...f'rget it, man. I'm just jet-lagged and sugar-crashed. Maybe if I got some sleep for once I could get over things easier...? I dunno. Let's try it tonight.

you are my sunshine, my only sunshine.
you make me happy when skies are grey.
you'll never know just how much i love you,
so don't take your sunshine away.
you are my sunshine, my dearest sunshine.
you make me smile when you sit at play.
you'll never know just how much i'll miss you
the day you grow up and away.

...that second verse isn't right is it? Mom only used to sing the first one. But it's my lullaby dammit, I'll sing it how I want. XD
She said: KNOCK ME OUT!! Knock me out....
Scorpions? Man my ipod is a mess! I've got Scorpions next to Josh Groban, and Raske Menn next to Trans-Siberian Orchestra...XDDD
Let's listen to a little David Bowie and drift off to sleep, eh? Star-man, blow our minds....

Yanno, I shouldn't be celebrating Christmas...but I guess it's all in fun. ^^ Fun and family and stuff. And FOOD.

I got the 2-disc special edition of the Dark Knight.
A Badz-Maru ipod cover.
The biggest most expensive box of Prismacolor colored pencils.
A new laptop.
A Japanese ink painting kit.
So much candy.
Red flannel footy pyjamas with a butt-flap.
And endless gift cards for coffee places and MEAT.

BEST FUCKING CHRISTMAS EVER.

Right-o...so yes, my phone bit the dust. Verizon butchered our plan, so we would have had to pay twice as much for the same thing. So my daddy and I boycotted the bill. Our phones were shut off on Monday, and now I have nothing to call home with in an emergency. Haha. I dunno when my dad will get our new phones...maybe Christmas? ^^
Oh yeah...
I'M GOING BACK TO CALI FOR XMAS!!!!!!

Hey, whaddya know?
Life is looking up a bit.
Obama won, which means Palin is OUT of any position of power!!! Yeah, get that psycho bitch out of the picture!!! We're finally making some progress in smashing Prop. 8, may it fucking BURN, and I am finally living in a blue state again. It's bad enough I had to choose a side to begin with, but being stuck in a conservative state is HELL.
But that's old news.
New news is that I started watching House and I didn't hate it. I'm not failing in school, I have a new therapist who is AWESOME, I have all the candy I could ever want including Milka bars and Kinder Eggs, I haven't been hospitalized or severely injured in the past 6 months, my periods have been less intense, my singing has improved tenfold, I am getting over the fact that I sleep on a decorative couch in my grandma's basement which I am sharing with my aunt, I have 76 poems on thestarlitecafe.com, AND I found the neatest coat in Savers for like 7 bucks.
Yup, not too shabby.

I watched the Dark Knight with a friend. Now see, she isn't as taken with the Joker as I am. And I am taken with him...quite severely in fact. The Joker character has been my favorite for years, and this last role solidified my infatuation...
Now, she was watching, horrified. She turns to me and says:
"No one man should have that much power."
So what do I say?
"No, don't you see? Everyone has that much power...and more. The only difference is the people that choose to use it and the ones who choose not to. It's all a matter of ambition, and, good or bad, you gotta admire it..."
She watched me, horrified.
Yes, I side with the Joker. I like explosions, I like chaos, I like anarchy. I like to watch the man squirm and crumble, unable to do a thing despite being in charge. I love anyone who can take a few cheap weapons and resources to completely turn the world upside-down.
Now all I need is someone who can really do it. Someone who can bring on my anarchy. Someone with the ambition I lack.
I need a damn Joker.
And I need a Tylenol. Political bullshitters give me a headache, yanno?

Just pee on it and walk away.

If travel is searching
And home has been found
I'm not stopping

I'm going hunting
I'm the hunter
I'll bring back the goods
But I don't know when

I thought I could organize freedom
How scandinavian of me
You sussed it out, didn't you ?
Yeah!

You could smell it
So you left me on my own
To complete the mission
Now I'm leaving it all behind

I'm going hunting
I'm the hunter, I'm the hunter

I met my love by the gas works wall
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
Kissed a girl by the factory wall
Dirty old town

Heard a siren from the docks
Saw a train set the night on fire
Smelled the spring on the smokey wind
Dirty old town
Dirty old town

We sail tonight for Singapore
Don't fall asleep while you're ashore
Cross your heart and hope to die
When you hear the children cry
Let marrow bone and cleaver choose
While making feet for children shoes
Through the alley, back from Hell
When you hear that steeple bell
You must say goodbye to me.

We sail tonight for Singapore
Take your blankets from the floor
Wash your mouth out by the door
The whole town is made of iron ore
Every witness turns to steam
They all become Italian dreams
Fill your pockets up with earth
Get yourself a dollar's worth
Away boys, away, boys, heave away

- Tom Waits, 'Singapore'

give me another kiss of sherry
I'll pay for it tomorrow

Your laugh makes me laugh
your warmth gives me worth

"The canals and the bridges, the embankments and cuts,
They blasted and dug with their sweat and their guts
They never drank water, but whiskey by pints
And the shanty towns rang with their songs and their fights.
They died in their hundreds with no sign to mark where
Save the brass in the pocket of the entrepreneur.
By landslide and rockblast they got buried so deep
That in death if not life they'll have peace while they sleep."

"This is the hour when the mysteries emerge.
A strangeness so hard to reflect.
A moment so moving, goes straight to your heart,
The vision has never been met.
The attraction is held like a weight deep inside,
Something I'll never forget.
How can I find the right way to control,
All the conflicts inside, all the problems beside,
As the questions arise, and the answers don't fit,
Into my way of things,
Into my way of things."

We're fleeing elephants
The grace of your movements

without a doubt,

L'enemi etait chez moi
On m'a dit résigne toi
Mais je n'ai pas pu
J'ai repris mon arme...

Hier encore nous étions trois
Il ne reste plus que moi
Et je tourne en rond
Dans la prison des frontières.

Le vent souffle sur les tombes
La liberté reviendra
On nous oubliera
Nous rentrerons dans l'ombre

(The enemi was in my country
I was told to accept it
But I couldn't
I took up my weapon again...
There were three of us yesterday
Today I am the only one left
And I pace
Within the prison of the frontiers
The wind blows across the graves
Freedom will come again
We will be forgotten
We will return to the shadows.)

That November night,
Looking up into the sky
You said “Hey, wish that was me up there
It's the biggest rocket I could find
And it's holding the night in its arms
If only for a moment
I can't see the look in its eyes
But I'm sure it must be laughing.”
But it seemed to me
The saddest thing I'd ever seen
And I thought you were crazy
Wishing such a thing
I saw only a stick on fire
Alone, on its journey
Home to the quickening ground
With no one there to catch it

- Kate Bush, 'Rocket Tails'

"It's hard not to break down and cry
when every ideal that you tried

and you must carry on
'Cause you, you are the only one left

bitter and twisted unless
you stay strong
and you carry on
It's hard, but you know it's worth the fight
'cause you know you've got the truth on your side

who cares what cowards think anyway
they will understand one day, one day

"A legacy so far removed,
One day will be improved.
Eternal rights we left behind,
We were the better kind.
Two the same, set free too,
I always looked to you...
We fought for good, stood side by side,
Our friendship never died.
On stranger waves, the lows and highs,
Our vision touched the sky,
Immortalists with points to prove,
I put my trust in you...
A house somewhere on foreign soil,
Where ageless lovers call,
Is this your goal, your final needs,
Where dogs and vultures eat,
Committed still I turn to go.
I put my trust in you.
I put my trust in you...."

It's the warmth of your arms
That appeases them and drags them
Away from the battle)

All riiiiight! I live in Colorado now. ^^ HELL YES!! I'M OUT OF MICHIGAN!!!! MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
Yeah. XD
Oh man, I swear I haven't been this relieved in ages. I can BREATHE out here. I mean, I'd rather be back in California any day, but this is nice. I only regret that I had to leave all my posters and most of my books and manga behind...and my swords!! My beloved katanas!! My scythe, my daggers, my bowie knife, my staff!!!! Even my fox tails...TT TT
Ahem...
Anyway, it's all good. Once I finish my credit recovery, I'm all set for the Air Force. Awesome. Just friggin' awesome. I wish I could be a bad-ass pilot, buuuuuuuut.......I'm a bit too claustrophobic and I suck at math. ^^;
But damn, wouldn't I look hot in a flight jacket??? Hahaha.
Oh, gotta go! MINDFREAK is on. ^^

I'm sad today, and I'm not quite sure why.
Maybe something happened that I can't remember...the book I read last was sad too, maybe I'm still angsting? I don't know. All I know is that I'm hungry and I feel like eating and crying and watching happy-end movies. But I can't cause it's 3:30 in the mornin' and mom will wake up and yell at me if I do. So I've got nothin' better to do than sit at my computer and bitch about it....
Hahaha, wow! I'm pathetic.
Man. These feelings are dumb, yanno? I mean really, what's the point of being sad? Especially when there's no one around to comfort you. I'm kinda tired of feeling. But then again, I'd be kind of bored without 'em, huh? I guess I'm just tired of feeling things and then not being sure why. Like right now. I'm kinda crying, and I don't have a clue why. Maybe I'm lonely or somethin'. Or maybe I'm insane, I dunno.
Guess I'll turn in now, try to sleep...heh. It's the first time in days I can hit the sack without painkillers, and I can't even fall asleep. See? No good comes from bein' sad. Just baggy eyes and headaches. I don't believe that life has a purpose or any of that destiny crap, but I've still got a life...so I may as well enjoy it right? It's just an accident that humans even exist, but since we do we should take the opportunity to be happy. Not waste away in bed bein' miserable. That's what I think and yet...I still feel this gaping hole inside me. Just this big emptiness, a black space.
I guess I am a little lonely.
'Cause after all, I've been so by myself for so long. Then I get to see everyone I care about again only to go away and be alone again. I guess that would make anyone sad right? I just wanna have somebody close, maybe to hold me, and no, I don't care how lame and cliche that sounds.
So yeah, I guess that big black hole is just loneliness.
Just loneliness.
Who knew it could hurt this much? I guess I should go to bed. I'll feel better in the morning, right?

Man, I'm sorry guys. I was in Utah with no internet, California without even a computer (But the Anime Expo was worth it!! I GOT TOSHIHIKO SEKI'S AUTOGRAPH!!!!) and then Colorado with skippy internet that wouldn't let me stay on more than 5 minutes at the most. Then Nebraska...nobody has internet in Nebraska...
But yeah, I'm back in Michigan for a while, then I'm moving to Colorado with my grama for my last school year (hopefully with better internet...) and then im gonna go for the Air Force.
Yup yup.

April's Memories
This cold isn't just because of the weather.
These hands don't just shake from frigid wind.
They ache to hold and to touch
Someone I can never hold or touch again.
Where is that long mouse-brown hair
That I used to love brushing so much?
Where is that cheerful laugh when
I braided it when you weren't looking?
All burned, sad ashes in a wooden box.
Where is that strong, course hand
That brought me to such a warm embrace?
Where are those smiling lips
That placed kisses atop my head?
All gone, grey ashes in a chestnut box.
In this cold that breaks through my sweater,
You would have wrapped me in your jacket.
And you would have held these shaking hands
That the wind so enjoys biting.
Where are those comforting arms,
That kind and gentle face?
All burned and gone,
Sad, grey ashes in a chestnut wood box.

In memory of my stepfather, who passed away two years today. 

Woohoo!! Later, Skater is finally out!! Gotta order a copyyyyyy!!!!!! It looks really good. ^^

Ow. I tell ya what, ow.
Baseball bats huuuurt. You ever got cuffed in the head with one? Bludgeoned my eye, the bastard...
But it sure is a damn impressive bruise. A pretty shade of purple, no less. ^^
And new yaoi to make up for my boo-boo? Yes indeedy! ^^

April 28th is coming. Far too fast. I can't believe it. The second year...I may just skip school that day, it'll hurt to much. It'll hurt to do anything. Maybe I'll bake something, or write a poem or song. Who knows? I certainly don't. All I know is that two years ago, April 28th, I lost the dearest person in the world to me. My god, nothing has ever hurt me so badly, not even what Dodson did to me.

Wow I'm manic today. Too bad I've forgotten how my fruit punch rant goes, that would've been a fun post.

Am I supposed to get depressed when I read Gravitation? It's a comical romance. But so angsty. Angst is a funny word...

Hey pretty lady...come and dance with me under the moon...sway with me senorita, I'll be leaving soon...so bend your body with a promise to meet me again....

Ohhhh, I feel sick lately. Sick and sad, horny and mad. This town is the pits. I'll be a virgin for the rest of my life if I stay here.

Not sleeping enough...what else is new? Rat's tail, bang a nail...

My brain has forsaken me. Fare thee well, brave soldier! Haha, Trowa just got bitch slapped. Go Catherine!! Love Gundam Wing man, sexy boys all over the place. Sexy ass Gundams too, goddamn! I'd sell my soul to have a real functional Deathscythe Hellcustom.

Crowned clown, come on now. Take your throne and party down.

Holy shiiiiiiiiiiit man. I cannot believe what a bunch of fuckin' nazis the school administrators are...I got a detention for skipping lunch. LUNCH. How do you skip lunch, and more importantly, why does it matter? Lunch. Crazy shit man. This school is like a prison. I could eat lunch on the roof if I wanted back in cali. Damn nazis.
HEAR ME? THIS IS THE 4TH TIME, RHS! YOU BUNCH OF NAZI PIGS!!

Mwahahaha!! I get to go to the Anime Expo this year!!! BOOYAH!!!! Lemme see....I think I'll either be Kanda or Allen this year...I have the exorcist coat, I wanna use it. ^^
Too bad I couldn't go last year.....
MIYAVI!!!!!! NOOOO!!! HOW COULD I HAVE MISSED YOU?????
TT TT
