i'm still alive

yeah, i'll probably only post here if something really really exciting happens (concerts, winning the lottery, ect.). Quite frankly, I am the lamb and school is the slaughter. Just 12 more days and I'm free for the rest of the year. Just 12 more days...

well...

KROQ is being really slow with playing 'Everlong' by the Foo Fighets so we can't all get tickets to Almost Acoustic Christmas. I really want to go see AFI again, those guys can put on one hell of a good show.

another day

2006-09-30T15:24:00.000-07:00

Went to Knott's Halloween Haunt with my friends Brian, Joe, Christine, Chelley, and Misty. 'Twas very fun, hell, they even got me to go on Xcelerator (which I have dreaded for the past 3 years). Got the shit scared out of me a couple of times (especially when I saw the clowns, I HATE CLOWNS!!!). Finally got home around 2:35, which my mom got really mad at me for. Lucky me. Next Friday we're going to go again, this time with me, Brian, Bianca, Chelley, and Christine. I love my friends :)

Plus AFI is #1 on TRL at the moment <3
They brought sexy back!!! lol.

sorry for the lack of updates

school is overwhelming this year with 3 AP classes (chem, us hist, english). but yes i am still alive. hopefully i can get my permit this wednesday to drive because my bike is cool and all but driving is so much faster! finished up tabbing a shitload of AFI songs cause thats how i roll. speaking of AFI, LONG BEACH ARENA 9/15/06 WAS FUCKING AWESOME!!! i swear, those guys are all in their early 30's and they move around the stage like teenagers, they never fail to disapoint their fans and that is why i am so appreciative of their music. i think i might get a tattoo dedicated to them when i'm older. oh yeah, went to universal studios today, got wet about a billion times lol. but it was fun. yesterday was melissa's b-day and that was a shitload of fun as well. the massrey family knows how to throw one hell of a party. yeah, i probably wont be updating for another week or so depending on how school work is going. hope all of you who are reading this have a wonderful time <3

I just got the results from my AP World History Exam that I took in May. I got a 3!!! (3 meaning qualified for college credit). Also summer school is going pretty well, have a B+ in the class, it's all good. The only thing I really have to worry about now if finishing readint The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Good book but damn it's long! In the guitar world I have finally perfected 'Miss Murder' by one of my favorite bands-AFI. Life is good right now.
