warped tour #3 of 2008, obvi.

things i am most looking forward to:
- lounging about pool
- eating till i explode
- running away from scene kids with tinseltoes, BECAUSE YOU'RE SO SCENE

things i am not looking forward to:
- sweating. that is all.

list will be updated as i see fit.

when it all comes crashing...

sunday was warped ventura @ seaside park-- so gorgeous there. the breeze from the ocean is a bit deceptive though, b/c the sun is still out--> still could sunburn. nonetheless, it is still one of the best venues for warped i've been to.caught a bunch of bands:

- cobra starship - o, how i've missed your dancing, gabe.

- treaty of paris - again!

- katy perry - SO WORTH THE HYPE

- forever the sickest kids

- angels and airwaves

- the academy is... * awkward story to follow

missed the color fred (again) and the audition (again).

* so it was getting cold & breezy in ventura once the sun started setting. so i pull out my TAI hoodie and wear it. of course, as i'm walking, i pass by carden. ok. that was fine.

so, not expecting (fine, i was expecting it-- but only a small probability) that adam would be kind of enough to get us over to side stage to TAI... we get through, we're 20 minutes early... um yea basically 20 minutes of chagrin since i basically have violated the first rule of fandom: never wear band's merch at said band's show. double negative scene points if you're within speaking distance. yeaaaaaaa that was hilariously awkward, thanks to sisky coming up to adam and talking to him (insert image of me standing awkwardly with my backpack on, attempting to cover up the logo on the left side of my chest with my hand). then willbex coming up to adam (sometimes i wish adam weren't so tall, he's like a beacon). (1) i looked like i was fangirling though it was mostly just me being REALLY cold, and (2) me doing the awkward wave (william: hi; mao: ...hi). basically i had shame written all over my face. sigh. on the bright side, adam embarassed himself (not difficult, i know) and i got to hear the 2 new songs again.

yes, worst story ever. i'm sorry i wasted 5 minutes of your life that you will never get back. moving on...

tuesday night @ spaceland was sooo much fun. got to catch up with ashley & paul. seems everyone has been buried under work lately! the monolators and sunny day sets fire rockeddd and i can't wait to see them again.

this is why we can't have nice things

warped pomona was deathly hot. tbh, i drank at least a gallon of water and sweated it out... all day. you can see what i'm implying here. i never went to the bathroom, bbs. how ODD. treaty of paris was lovely as always, and the academy is played new songs (don't explain... why? ty billiam for the consistent and amazing lulz). the new songs were epicccc loved them already. anyway, working at the 11:11 A.M. tent was fantastizzle so everyone should stop by at their date and buy yourself some pretty things! we have new pin designs. proceeds will be going to pediatric cancer research foundation. the uber popular uber sold out glamour kills 11:11am charity tee will be in at the tent in a few weeks. ty for teh support!

also please feel free to harass adam on any of the first 1/2 of the dates. warped ventura tomorrow... a reunion of sorts. see you bbs there.

i hope you hang yourself with your h&m scarf

katy perry one of the boys album preview on myspace. out june 17.

hello my crispy pork rinds

hope everyone has been well in this blog-o-sphere of mine. haven't been to any shows lately but hopefully that'll change soon. trying to revisit some music i got in the past couple of months. otherwise, life is good. trying to keep it low key until i manage to save some money. also i'm sending out an SOS to e because i miss her bunches!

decided i'm catching up on the hills but i've already finished the first season, so i'm pretty much 1/3 done, amirite? rather unsatisfying... i need to stop freaking out and getting annoyed at unreality shows.

omg this video takes me back so farrrrr. thx alee.

[mandy moore - cry] plz excuse the poor audio quality.
ps WHAT IS SHE WEARING. HALF A DRESS?

IAWTP.

http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.wordpress.com/2008/05/12/99-grammar/

i totally identify with the uncontrollable urge to cross out and fix grammar and spelling mistakes... ESPECIALLY in articles. but i still love lolspeak. and i certainly don't write perfectly either.

LULZ.

do i dazzle you? frequently.

because i can't wait to see rpattz ~*sparkle*~ in a meadow.

Twilight in HD

no need to say goodbye

respekt can do no wrong... absolutely beautiful.

[regina spektor - the call (audio only)] from the narnia: prince caspian movie.

golly sandra, you've grown up really crazy

long time, no update!

have been enjoying the beginning of summer break. can only hope that i can manage to save some amount of money so i can do a bit of traveling during my last summer vacation ever, or as they say in spanish, mi vacacion de.. okay that doesn't work. i just really wanted to use the word "ultimo" but i'm afraid that was a FAIL.

last wed, saw the yoshida brothers @ the el rey with my parents. this is srs guise. if you think guitar solos are impressive... to call a shamisen solo "impressive" would be an understatement. it was ridic freaking incredible. so much fun, gorgeous lighting, they brought out a dj and also a drummer. it was megauberincreíblespectacular. my dad made fun of me for showing a sudden interest in (my) culture... but whatev. music is music. [you may recognize their song as the one in the nintendo wii ads]

last thurs, saw eisley (for the first time, i might add) with irene and bn, both of whom i probably haven't seen in months, if not 1/2 a year. i really liked the show, it was difficult for me as i didn't own either of their cds prior to seeing them (but promptly bought 2 as the show went on)... but it was still fantastic and i really love their voices together. the crowd was pretty sedate which was helpful... somehow i don't see "moshing" and "eisley" going together. but to each their own.

excited for summer. hopefully hitting up at least one of the noy/the graduate shows. then a few dates of warped tour (in style, of course). what's this i hear about my youth slipping away? good. i'm pretty sure it was just a rumor.

now i really should get back to what i was working on, and stop procrastinating. i'll try to get some more photos up by the end of the month. no promises though. oh, and i've finished all the twilight books, if anyone wants to discuss. haha

xo

smile for the paparazzi

lol @ the two links below. srsly.
e! online - Miley Cyrus' Half Brother Scares Us a Little

for the record, i'd never heard of hannah montana till recently. and am i the only one that doesn't think she's cute at all with her brown hair? boring. at least when she's blonde w/ bangs, she looks a little... shinier. anyway, according to alee, the only people that don't know metro station are either not 12, or not scene. get with it, stalkarazzi sites! yes, we are a small, insular, arrogant, and self-obsessed community. get over it.

anyway. i learned how to vidchat yesterday so that is the latest on that front. i'm excited for summer.

the video below is so simple, yet touching. you can't watch it without smiling to yourself. unless you like, despise puppies. and hate penguins.

[marie digby - paint me in your sunshine]

so, funny story, i knew her back in the day (we went to saturday school together). and, about 7-8 years later, i was at molly malone's for the world's smallest onerepublic show back in 2006. and she recognized me so she came up to me. RANDOM. she looked familiar but i was impressed by her memory... and look where she is now. jealous. also i may be biased, since she does an supercute cover of umbrella (haha lovelovelove).

she's playing deep rock live (appar that thing that was on quarterlife?) 5/18 so you can check out her myspace to claim your free tix for that. she'll be on tour soon, 6/20 at the el rey.

moar shows

things have changed for me, and that's okay

man, i need to be more committed to the scene. school is cramping my style. it's like, i don't know what's relevant anymore. have i lost touch with the times? even my mother knows what emo is. *deep breath* how long has this thing been up?

view panic (rip !) at the disco's that green gentleman over on nokiausa.com.

i don't sleep much anymore, and i'm so tired all the time

wahwahwahhh i know, the whining never stops. so deal.

this summer will be my last proper summer vacay. evs. next summer, i graduate (well.. hopefully), study for le bar, pass le bar (well.. hopefully). maybe travel (i've never been to europe- how uncultured am i?). then i get to work for the rest of my life, like you normal folk. ah, the life of a student. or an academic. whatev.

so much to do. i mean, even after i finish this sem. there's too little time in this world to accomplish all the things i make lists for. also need to save monies and see friends. see shows. disneyland. haircut. photos. i think surrounding yourself w/ positive energy is important, even though that might seem contradictory w/ all the things i complain about. but that's what i do. complain, dispel, i feel better. repeat process as necessary. (the fact that other people don't feel as good, hearing my complaints, is irrelevant haHA)

if you like LOST, read my friend's blog: http://4815162342obsessed.blogspot.com/ the url pretty much says it all.

it's incredibly nice out here (rather warm, really). i don't feel as bad about not going to coachella since a) that's impossible; b) i'd probably have a heat stroke of some sort; c) i'll probably start hallucinating (non-substance induced, please) my outlines again. good times.

summer awaits.

our time is running out

shortest finals period ever... how will i fare? here's to many productive sessions of studying.. i need it. also, my tolerance for caffeine has gone up tremendously in the past few weeks. moar pleas.

see you on the other side (5/5). xoxo
THE PIANO KNOWS SOMETHING. I DON'T KNOW.
