it's a long december and there's reason to believe

... that maybe this year will be better than the last.

i guess it's not so much that this yr was bad (au contraire- high points: soo many friends + soo many shows + soo many photos. low points: inadvertently seeing pete wentz's p33n iconized on LJ. kinda made my skin crawl. WHO AM I KIDDING. IT KINDA MADE ME VOM. and FINALS ROUND ONE. ugh). but i think it's healthy to hope for better each yr.. whether it is YOU who improve, or your circumstances.. or anything. hope's important, i think. it def. keeps me going.

my early morning work schedule makes me so tired.. so i haven't been going out lately. just napping for 47 hours. and then waking up and realizing i haven't seen my friends who are leaving on the 31st or the 1st. ooooops.

i got my hair did today. i was thinking more leigh lezark and it came out more posh spice. i guess it works. idk, my sister says i look like a newscaster. i just don't wanna look like i'm 12, yo.

i guess this is turning into more of an update than an emo post. i'm starving.

give me envy, give me malice, give me attention

totes forgot to mention i won that meet-and-greet thing @ the sd panic! show. that was interesting. girls freaking out aotp, but i guess that's cute when you're underage. not so cute when you're my age (fortunately, i wasn't flipping out... i was too busy loling at all the "rules" we had to abide by.. including no touching, no leaning over the table, no inane conversation topics, no asking them to throw up gangsta signs.. you'd think we were meeting the pope. should've just thrown them in a bulletproof glass box). i rly can't say much other than the fact that it was interesting and someone should look up "professional responsibility" the next time they roll outta bed to do a meet-and-greet. nevertheless, i think all the winners had a good time and it was kinda cute watching them flip out the way my generation did for bsb and nsync.. even though it made me feel like like a geriatric.

despite the lecture, i still adore them. LIKE YOU COULDN'T TELL.

i finished the rest of the panic photos and posted them here.

the object of my (pedo)affection.

HOW ABOUT NOW, BDEN.aaaand just for lolz.i win at life. two posts in one day? holla.

for every inch we get, we need a mile more

back from hellogoodbye at the glasshouse in pomona.
forrest was having vocal probs. literally. 3rd or so song in, he was like "I LOST MY VOICE. I DON'T KNOW WHERE IT WENT. I WAS UP HERE THE WHOLE TIME BUT I LOST IT." poor dude :( they finished up as best they could (i think they still played a nearly full set), it was still a dance party (with the dancing banana, beer, burger, etc. on stage at the end), as per usual. wish i had my cam- the stage was all lit up with at least 3 big xmas trees, a few little ones, a herd of light-up reindeer, and some "snow" covering stuff. good times minus the voice-losing.

last thurs, the 21st, the outline/ william tell @ hob anaheim. basically, william tell was gorgeous, although he had really odd pants on.. whatever. the dude is attractive. and i was rude to the outline. i guess i might've been asking for the threatening beer-pouring on head.. or the face punching.. or the screaming-in-face-and-running away. i embarassed e, and aromee and alee made some new friends. awesome as usual.

ya show recaps aren't all that fun when there are no pix. i did finally finish my cobra ones both from the sd ipayone show and the snakes on a plane show. holler at productivity. i'm going to get cracking on patd (sd) and falloutboy (from soap).

[cobra starship @ snakes on a plane soundtrack party - key club - august 16, 2006]
here are some faves:
i thought this one was kinda rad.
and little did i know that when i blogged about my elijah wood sighting, someone would find it and post it in an ljcomm! dude, i finally feel like i've made it in life. i was wondering why someone had ended up on this blog when they googled "elijah wood" and now i know. props to whoever found this blog, haha. fyi, it was him. for sures.

i totes stole this from someone: happy holla-days!

holidaze: when it's all over, i'll come back for another year

hello my BBs,
first things first: i'd like to mention that i saw elijah wood today, at santa monica place (aka the mall connected to the promenade). he walked past me in the food court, while i was sitting with mi madre. that was awes. i explained to my mom "it's the short guy in the lord of the rings movie, the one with the blue eyes." he was looking pretty cute! and i don't even have a thing for hobbits.

i'm going to work on my backlogged photos this week, so hopefully that'll work out and i'll have some posted (i.e. panicccc photos at the disco!). i also get to look for a summer internship. w00t.

also, we deco'd cookies at e and shelby's on saturday and ryro and the long-lost rosevest made an appearance. we had a photoshoot.

and in case you were living in a cave, jack's mannequin has pressie for yall: www.jacksmannequin.com. links to d/l the trax are in the comments here.

stay safe, xox.

wouldn't it be nice

... if finals were over? rhetorical question, btw.
today's a very special day for someone; i wish them the best.

back to studying. yes! so excited. NOT. not not not not not.

nothing rhymes with i'm pretty sure i'm in love with ryan ross

so i caught the last show of the nothing rhymes with circus tour @ the ipayone center (i guess formerly called the sd sports arena or something). took some photos. panic! danced a little. cameos by e, rhonda, ashley, aromee, and alee. and christine was right, dude, if you stand in the middle of the arena, the sound is kind of odd. i could swear i heard a slight echo in my right ear. weird.

kay pix. and commentary. when i get the full sets posted, i'll announce. for now, i just posted the jack's photos here in my gallery. thx for your patience.

GABE. love him. [jack's mannequin - ipayone center - december 9, 2006]
fyi: andrew and jay are having a facial hair growing contest.fyi: i just made that up.BOB. i'd post more but that was all the facial hair i could handle in one post.

[panic! at the disco - ipayone center - december 9, 2006]
everyone, plz meet my bf ryan ross. we're getting married, he just doesn't know.
you may recognize him as the guitarist for panic! at the disco. he also plays the drumz in the drumline.

just some dude named brendon who sings. dance, dance.yes, we get it. you're grabbing your crotch. awk shot.FYI: all the ryrolove commentary that i write.. is just for lolz. so no hateration, no "he's my bb, not urs!!" ummm yea. right. besides, i know better than to try to date a musician. but that kid is the epitome of adorable. i could fangirl for all eternity but i'll stop now.

alllrighty. goodnight.

is it legal to do this? i surely don't know

for my friends, my finals schedule:
12/7 civil procedure
12/14 property
12/18 criminal law
12/20 torts **after 4pm.
12/20 evening: LGFUAD. but not rly.

someone google searched this and my blog comes up toward the bottom. hilario.
... which begs the question: why on earth would anyone google that?

this life has been no holiday

happy dec. 2nd. even if i didn't meet some of you that day.. i think the day stands for something we can all relate to. hope. happiness. friendships beyond (truckstops and) statelines.. things that are greater than life. the stuff holidays are made of.

this'll be short and sweet, i'm supposed to be studying civil procedure which quite frankly, can die right now. not sure if i'm talking about me dying or civpro dying but i'll take either.

so i was rude to trent and accidentally ignored him while he waved at me on thurs at the sounds @ avalon. i suck at life, apparently i'm blind. anyhow, after a good 10 seconds of vigorous waving (on his part), i was like heyyyy i know you. i didn't bring my camera, but he has a bunch of pictures posted here and i'm sure irene will have some posted laterrrr.

tour buses are hilario + white russians with soy milk are surprisingly delish. and i don't care if birthdays are celebrated for a week in sweden.. i do not give up my drinks. and i will threaten to punch you in the face.

btw it's not summer all the time, unless summer is 55 degrees and freakin COLD.

umm kay. be safe yall.
