Ok, guys, this is just to tell you that I will no longer be posting here unless its quizzes or something of that nature. I'm sorta boycotting livejournal. These journals are nothing but trouble, and honestly? My nerves aren't strong enough to take it lol. I love you all. Thanks to those who read this over time. Ta, my little chickadees!

Much love,
Brooke

Wow, I suck. Its been ages since I last updated, I know. I give you permission to stone me, or whatever. I've been up to lots of exciting things that I'm not going to tell any of you. LoL not really. Its just been a bunch of the same ole', same ole'. I've seen far too many movies to do my reviews (sad, I know). Hmm, I'm sure I must have something interesting to say, but I just can't think of it. So, lalala...survey!

Your Beauty lies
in Plain Sight. Plain, simple and the girl next
door. People tend overlook you as you are the
"normal girl", but you're actually
very beautiful. And you have plenty about you to
set you apart, but more that
lets you blend. People love the stability you have
because as others may come
and go, you will always be there and you may always
be the same. You like simple
things and that's what people like about you. You
most likely enjoy things most
consider normal, like movies, shopping, that sort
of thing and are very friendly
and probably have many friends. You are sweet and
kind and that shows on you,
but you're also strong and not very naive. You're a
rather well-rounded
individual. Even though some people pass you off as
just another girl, shrug it
off because they don't know what they're
missing.

Some Things
That Represent You:

Element:
Earth, Light Animal: Cat Color:
Pinks, Blues, Browns Song:
Girl Next Door by Pilot Expression: Simple
Smile

Gemstone:
Alexandrite Mythological Creature: Fox
Demon, Hobbit Sign:
Tauros Planet: Jupiter Hair Color:
Light Brown Eye Color:
Brown

Quote:
"To the world you may be one person, but to
one person you may be the world."

You're Paul. Hey good-lookin'! People must be all
over you, you baby-faced cutie pie! But you
won't let that affect you, you have work to do!
Paul was the Beatle who was determined to be a
success. You probably are a straight-A student
or have a Type A personality.

Out of all of The Beatles, which Beatle would you be?

It's Christmas Eve!

Sat, 25 Dec 2004 00:38:36 GMT

I hope everyone is having a lovely holiday break! I am wearing my cute Snoopy christmas panties lol just in case anyone wants to know. My family always opens one gift on Christmas eve. Mine was a super cool awesome purse shaped like a guitar. Its purple and has rhinestones. I love it!

Today, I got up at 8:30 and got all dressed in many layers because we were supposed to drive my uncle to the airport in Atlanta. We were going to leave at 10. Well, we all are about to walk out the door, when my crackhead cousin Jason rolls up with his friend Chris and says that Chris will take them. Ugh. We had planned on making a day out of it. We were going to eat at the Varsity, cause its supposed to be really good and mommy hasn't eaten there since high school. Then we were gonna look around the Emory campus since thats where I wanna go. But, whatever. Then, there was some drama cause Jason left and didn't come back until around 2:30. We were all worried he wasn't gonna show at all and they would miss the plane.

Yesterday was my last day as Santa's helper. I'm sad. It was a really fun job! Cold, yes (extremely!), but fun. I really liked working with the people from other schools. Well, I liked working with Casey and Cara, anyway lol. And, of course, Shannannon and Terra. Terra is hilarious to work with! And Santa is such a great guy. Apparently, he trusts me, because he gave me his credit card and told me to go buy some earrings for under $200 for the Boss Lady (his wife). I freaked out! You can't just use someone else's credit card! But, I did it. I took them to him yesterday and he liked them, but said they weren't big enough. So, when I got off at 4 I had to go buy another pair of earrings and take them to him later that night. And Wal-Mart was a mad house! Ack! He liked the second pair, though. so all is good. I hope she likes them! They said they want me to come back and work for them again next year. Yay!

Today since we didn't have to go to Atlanta we went to my crazy Aunt Kathy's house to pick up Uncle David's huge freshwater fish tank. They're moving and for some reason he can't take it with them. It's like hundreds of dollars of fish and equipment for free! It's really gorgeous and so are the fish. I'm just worried we're going to kill them. >.<

I really miss Tasha. I hope we can get together to do something soon. Today she said something about a New Year's thing she's going to, so I might go to that.

This is very ramble-y. I'm gonna go eat...something. But first, the quote of the day: "Dreams are illustrations... from the book your soul is writing about you." - Marsha Norman. Much love to you all! Ta, my little chickadees!

Listened to the World Without Sundays CD that Tasha gave me. Its really awesome. I', too tired to do a full update, but I had to post the lyrics to this song. It very much describes me.

"Happiness" - World Without Sundays

You’re walking hand in hand
You’re smiling smiles and I can’t stand it
It’s beautifully ugly
I have to fall apart
Just so my pieces look like art
That’s as beautiful as I get

But you take it all away
When I see the smile on your face
I don’t mind, it keeps me in my place

You can tear my heart right out
Leave me here with all my doubt
You don’t scare me more than I do
‘cause I don’t think I’m scared of anything…
Except happiness

you think I’m copping out
but there’s no argument or doubt
that you don’t know what you’re missing
that’s why I bring you down
so there’s no place to go but up
it’s positive thinking

but you take it all away
when I see the smile on your face
I don’t mind, it keeps me in my place

You can tear my heart right out
Leave me here with all my doubt
You don’t scare me more than I do
‘cause I don’t think I’m scared of anything…
Except happiness
But I guess maybe love wouldn't kill me
If I let it in
Oh no, there I go again, talking like a fool
I would never be the same again

Goodnight, all! I might update when I get home from work tomorrow.

Sun, 05 Dec 2004 02:14:07 GMT

Hello all! I'm in a good good mood tonight. Its a combination of buying Christmas presents, my mommy's burritos, and watching Justice League Unlimited. Life is good lol ^.^

I went to the mall after work today and bought presents for the majority of the people on my list. I just have a few more people to buy for and plenty of time. I saw some really really awesome stuff that I wanted to buy for myself, but I didn't. ::begin hinting:: But just in case anyone wants to know, I really like the Beatles and there are many cool Beatles things all over the mall (stores include EB Games, the calendar kiosk, etc.) and also, I love everything in Hot Topic. ::end hinting::

Movie review time! Saw Alexander on Monday. Ahhh! 'Twas extremely good. Colin Farrell was not nearly as bad as I was expecting. I heart Alexander/Hephaestion (theirloveissopure). I was afraid they were going to leave out their relationship, which played a MAJOR part in Alexander's life, but they didn't. Except that in the movie, Alexander ho'd himself out to everyone, but was never *ahem* intimate with his true love. Whatever. Not really a big deal. OMG, the battle scenes were friggin awesome! (Incredibly bloody, though, so watch out). Especially the part with the elephant, ahhhh! To sum, I could nitpick for hours about the historical facts and miscasting, but all in all it was excellent. Everyone go see it NOW! Side note: I want thighs as nice as Colin Farrell. I'm just sayin'.

Allrighty guys, I'm being summoned to watch Spiderman 2 with the family (expect a review), so I'm out. But first, the quote of the day: "The language of friendship is not words, but meanings." - Henry David Thoreau

Ta, my little chickadees! Much love!

Brooke

P.S. I'm posting the lyrics to my theme song. I feel that every lyrics applies to me exactly. What do you think?

"Breakaway" - Kelly Clarkson

Grew up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down
I just stared out my window
Dreaming of what could be
And if I'd end up happy
I would pray (I would pray)

Trying hard to reach out
But when I'd try to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I pray (I would pray)
I could breakaway

[Chorus:]
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky
I'll make a wish
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I loved
I'll take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway

Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get on board a fast train
Travel on a jet plane, far away (I will)
And breakaway

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky
I'll make a wish
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I loved
I'll take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway

Buildings with a hundred floors
Swinging around revolving doors
Maybe I don't know where they'll take me but
Gotta keep moving on, moving on
Fly away, breakaway

I'll spread my wings
And I'll learn how to fly
Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye
I gotta take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget the place I come from
I gotta take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway, breakaway, breakaway

Dashboard Confessional lyrics

Wed, 01 Dec 2004 03:50:59 GMT

I'm in a Dashboard kinda mood tonight (meaning a little down) so I thought I'd post the lyrics to some of my fav Dashboard songs. Everyone go listen to them now!!!

"Hands Down" - Dashboard Confessional

Breathe in for luck,
breathe in so deep.
This air is blessed,
you share with me.
This night is wild,
so calm and dull,
these hearts they race,
from self control.
Your legs are smooth,
as they graze mine,
we're doing fine,
we're doing nothing at all.

My hopes are so high, that your kiss might kill me.
So won't you kill me? So I die happy
My heart is yours to fill or burst,
to break or bury, or wear as jewelery,
which ever you prefer.

The words are hushed, lets not get busted;
just lay entwined here, undiscovered.
Safe in here from all the stupid questions.
"Hey, did you get some?"
Man, that is so dumb.
Stay quiet, stay near, stay close, they can't hear...
so we can get some.

My hopes are so high, that your kiss might kill me.
So won't you kill me? So I die happy.
My heart is yours to fill or burst,
to break or bury, or wear as jewelery,
which ever you prefer.

Hands down, this is the best day I can ever remember.
I'll always remember the sound of the stereo,
the dim of the soft lights,
the scent of your hair that you twirled in your fingers,
and the time on the clock when we realized it's so late
and this walk that we shared together.
The streets were wet
and the gate was locked, so I jumped it,
and I let you in.
And you stood at your door with your hands on my waist
and you kissed me like you meant it.
And I knew that you meant it,
that you meant it,
that you meant it,
and I knew,
that you meant it,
that you meant it.

"Several Ways To Die Trying" - Dashboard Confessional

Pacific Sun, you should have warned us, it gets so cold here.
And the night can freeze, before you set it on fire.

And our flares go unnoticed.
Dimminished, faded just as soon as they are fired.

We are, we are, intrigued. We are, we are, invisible.

Oh, how we've shouted, how we've screamed, take notice, take interest, take me with you.

But all our fears fall on deaf ears.

Tonight, they're burning the roads they built to lead us to the light.
And blinding our hearts with their shining lies,
while closing our caskets cold and tight. But I'm dying to live.

Pacific sun, you should have warned us, these heights are dizzying,
and the climb can kill you long before the fall.

And our trails go unmarked and unmapped and covered
just as soon as they are crossed.

We are, we are, intriguing. We are, we are, desirable.

Oh how we've shouted, how we've screamed,
take notice, take interest, take me with you.

But all our fears fall on deaf ears.

Tonight, they're burning the roads they built to lead us to the light.
And blinding our hearts with their shining lies,
while closing our caskets cold and tight. But I'm dying to live.

</em> </p>

"Hey Girl" - Dashboard Confessional

Hey girl, you've got a smart way
About you that makes me wish that I was smart enough for you.

Hey girl, you've got a fine laugh
And I think that I can get used to that
And you're already used to laughing at me

Well, So what if your friends think I'm crazy,
I wasn't trying to impress those girls anyway
They're all theory, no action and
Where I'm from we live like it's the latest attraction

Hey girl, you've got a short fuse
And I've got designs on lighting you up
And setting you off, and watching you burn for me.

The world lives for the weekends
Well, I'll watch as my weeks bleed right into them
Without a rhyme to devide what is theirs And what is mine

Well, So what if your friends think I'm crazy,
I wasn't trying to impress those girls anyway
They're all theory, no action and
Where I'm from we live like it's the latest attraction

And go on, go on, your cruel intentions won't solve your problems, everyone's gotta get bottom bottomed out in the long run and those are
the times you need love

</em> </p>

"As Lovers Go" - Dashboard Confessional

She said "I've gotta be honest,
you're wasting your time if you're fishing 'round here."
and I said "You must be mistaken,
'cause i'm not fooling...this feeling is real."
She said...she said "You gotta be crazy,
What do you take me for? Some kind of easy mark?"
"No, you've got wits, you've got looks,
you've got passion, but I swear that you've got me all wrong."

all wrong.
all wrong.
but you got me...

I'll be true, I'll be useful...
I'll be cavalier...I'll be yours my dear
and I'll belong to you...
if you'll just let me through.
this is easy as lovers go,
so don't complicate it by hesitating
and this is wonderful as loving goes,
this is tailor-made, whats the sense in waiting?

And I said "I've gotta be honest,
I've been waiting for you all my life."
For so long I thought I was asylum bound,
but just seeing you makes me think twice.
If being with you here makes me sane,
I fear i'll go crazy if you leave my side.
you've got wits...you've got looks,
you've got passion but are you brave enough to leave with me tonight?

tonight.
tonight.
but you've got me...

I'll be true, I'll be useful...
I'll be cavalier...I'll be yours my dear
and I'll belong to you...
if you'll just let me through.
this is easy as lovers go,
so don't complicate it by hesitating
and this is wonderful as loving goes,
this is tailor-made, whats the sense in waiting?
this is easy as lovers go,

Hello all! Just wanted to drop by and wish everyone a Happy Turkey Day and share a rhyme I've said every year since pre-school. Here goes:

Gobble, gobble, gobble,
Fat turkeys, fat turkeys
Gobble, gobble, gobble,
Fat turkeys are we
We're not here for living,
We're here for Thanksgiving
Gobble, gobble, gobble,
Fat turkeys are we

Isn't it horrible? LoL I'm sure the people from PETA would be wetting themselves right about now!

In other news, its *dun dun duuuum* Movie Review Time! Yaaaaay! LoL
"The Incredibles": Just got back from seeing it about 10 minutes ago. Extremely good! Very happy and family oriented. Definitely go see it if you are with family or you just want a genuinely nice movie. Very funny movie for adults and kids. Bonus points: Jason Lee does the voice of Syndrome. I heart Jason Lee for his roles in various Kevin Smith movies.
"Bridget Jones: Edge of Reason": Saw this Monday night. Of course it didn't live up to the first, but it was uncommonly good for a sequel. I had a minor quibble with the fact that it picks up only a couple of months after the first ended, yet Bridget seems to have gained quite a large amount of weight in this time period and no one notices. But, whatever lol. I love British people, especially Hugh Grant and Colin Firth (and I especially love wussy British guys fighting!). I left the theater with warm fuzzies, so all is good.

So, I've got myself a job. Yep, yep. Working for the Big Guy and Boss Lady (aka Santa and his wife) at Wally-world. It's extremely easy, just tedious. All I do is stand at the entrance for hours and hand out coupons to every soul who walks through the doors. However, since I am Brooke and odd things happen to me for no reason, I ended up with a weirdo the very first night I worked. And it was when I was on the grocery side by myself! He hung around and stared at me for about 15 minutes before coming to talk to me and touching me on the shoulder and stuff. I was like, "Oh, look at the time! I need to go switch out now!". So I started to walk back to the other side and he followed me! When I got there, I must have looked freaked 'cause the Boss Lady started asking me what was wrong. I tried to non-verbally communicate that there was a creepy guy there and she sat me down behind the table until he went away. All was fine until about 30 minutes later WHEN HE CAME BACK! I sat down again and then Santa got up and chased him away, threatening to call the police! LoL it was crazy! Then they were all trying to console me and making sure I wasn't traumatized. I just thought it was funny! Haven't had any trouble since, so its all good. None of the other people I work with have had any trouble either, so it must have just been my freakish luck that put me in that situation.

I need to be getting Christmas lists from people so I can start buying as soon as I get my first check. So, if you read this and you are one of my normal gift-exchangees, be thinking of what you want and email me!

I guess that's all for now. I leave you with the thought of the day: "There is no friend as loyal as a book." - Ernest Hemingway.

Ta, my little chickadees! Much love!

You're Madagascar!

Lots of people don't really know anything about you, making you
buried treasure of the rarest kind. You love nature, and could get lost in it
whenever possible. You're remote and exotic, and the few people who know you
value whatever they share with you a great deal. For some reason, you really
like the word "lemur".

You're Ulysses!

by James Joyce

Most people are convinced that you don't make any sense, but compared
to what else you could say, what you're saying now makes tons of sense. What people do
understand about you is your vulgarity, which has convinced people that you are at once
brilliant and repugnant. Meanwhile you are content to wander around aimlessly, taking in
the sights and sounds of the city. What you see is vast, almost limitless, and brings you
additional fame. When no one is looking, you dream of being a Greek folk hero.

I mean to update regularly, I really do! I think about posting all the time, but then...I don't. >.<

Lalala...I don't really have anything to post right now. I'm sure 5 minutes from now I'll remember something and be to lazy to come post it lol. But, I digress.

So, one of my favorite songs right now is "White Houses" by Vanessa Carlton. The first couple of times I heard it, I didn't like it. But, it grew on me. The other night I actually sat and really listened to it. This is one of the most beautiful songs I've heard in a long time. I don't know what it is about it. The lyrics have excellent imagery and the actual music of the song has a very elegant simplicity. Everyone go listen to it!

"White Houses" by Vanessa Carlton

Crashed on the floor when I moved in
This little bungalow with some strange new friends
Stay up too late, and I'm too thin
We promise each other it's til the end
Now we're spinning empty bottles
It's the five of us
With pretty eyed boys girls die to trust
I can't resist the day
No, I can't resist the day
Jenny screams out and it's no pose
'Cause when she dances she goes and goes
Beer through the nose on an inside joke
I'm so excited, I haven't spoken
And she's so pretty, and she's so sure
Maybe I'm more clever than a girl like her
The summer's all in bloom
The summer is ending soon

It's alright and it's nice not to be so alone
But I hold on to your secrets in white houses

Maybe I'm a little bit over my head
I come undone at the things he said
And he's so funny in his bright red shirt
We were all in love and we all got hurt
I sneak into his car's cracked leather seat
The smell of gasoline in the summer heat
Boy, we're going way too fast
It's all too sweet to last

It's alright
And I put myself in his hands
But I hold on to your secrets in white houses
Love, or something ignites in my veins
And I pray it never fades in white houses

My first time, hard to explain
Rush of blood, oh, and a little bit of pain
On a cloudy day, it's more common than you think
He's my first mistake

Maybe you were all faster than me
Give each other up so easily
These silly little wounds will never mend
I feel so far from where I've been
So I go, and I will not be back here again
I'm gone as the day is fading on white houses
I lied, wrote my injuries all in the dust
In my heart is the five of us
In white houses

And you, maybe you'll remember me
What I gave is yours to keep
In white houses
In white houses
In white houses

I'm gonna go...do nothing. Or whatever. I'll try to make an actual update tomorrow. For now, I leave you with the quote of the day: "Cookies need love like everything else." - Hugo Weaving

Ta, my little chickadees! Much love!

I'm a terrible person...

...and I probably deserved to be stoned. But please refrain! >.<

Nathan has been pestering me to update since my last post and we were talking about livejournals in class today, (hiya carl, if you ever stumble across this!) so my guilt level finally crested lol. I'm not even going to try to cover anything that has happened in the past few months. Nothing that interesting, anyway.

I have a test in AP US History tomorrow that I am so NOT feeling confident about. But, I have no one to blame but myself. I'm such a slacker lol. I'm trying to do my note cards from APStudent.com, but apparently everyone in my class has the same idea. The site is completely overloaded. Grr!

Went to Steak n Shake with Melissa, Will, and Savannah after color guard practice. Twas nice. I always have a good time with them. I love you guys! ^.^

Speaking of color guard, we have 2 festivals coming up mighty soon. I had no idea about them! I really don't think we're going to score well this year, but I could be presently surprised. (IhopeIhopeIhope...) Practice was pretty good today. I think we settled the problem of people not getting flags on the field. We chose our 'secret pals' after practice. I just realized I for got ask when we're supposed to start giving gifts. Oops!

I should be 1)Studying for test tomorrow, 2)Writing extra credit global warming paper, 3)Writing note cards. Basically doing lots of things that aren't updating my journal lol. But what's the fun in that?

Oh, I was nominated for Homecoming representative. Jessica Wyrick and I decided to stage a coup d'etat and overthrow the vapid little things that get voted in every other year. So, if you go to my school, please vote for us! I promise you won't regret it come Homecoming night! ^.~

I read the Da Vinci Code last weekend. Excellent book! Seriously, everyone should read it! I stayed up all night reading because I just couldn't put it down. I'm about to start the prequel, Angels and Demons, after I finish my semi-annual reading of Good Omens. Very different style, but another book that everyone should read. I've read it a billion times, but I still laugh out loud every time.

Ow. My lips really hurt. >.< They're all dry and chapped.

Curses, I really must work on those notecards. I will try to update more frequently! Ta, my little chickadees!

Blarg. I am miserable. Band camp starts tomorrow and lasts until school starts, so my summer is officially over. And what did I do? Nothing. I went swimming a grand total of once. A moment of silence to mourn my summer's passing, please.

I finally go to get my license on the 29th and my car should be ready by the time school starts, so I'll be driving this year. Contrary to popular belief (*coughTASHAcough*) I DO know how to drive. I got to sit in my baby the other day. I turned it on enough to play with the windows and radio lol. Sadly, though, it is lacking cupholders so I have to get a console.

I know some people probably get upset that basically the only time I update my journal is when I'm upset, but most of the time thats the only time I'm motivated enough to write. So, sorry if it bothers you.

Spent the night with Ashley and Kristina Friday after working the Lookouts game. The Lookouts game where I almost backhanded a fellow worker and where I lost my brand-new Mrs. Pitt bracelet. I loved that bracelet. ::cries:: Anyway, it was certainly an interesting experience. One guy came up and ordered as many beers as he could get for $20 and told Kristina and I that we should be serving shots of Jagermiester. Lots of people that came up were already drunk. I got a massive attack of brain freeze while drinking frozen lemonade and freaked out Kristina lol. Ashley came over today for awhile while Mickey and Kris worked another game. They wanted to make sure she wasn't alone in case she went into labor. She was fine though. We played Dark Cloud most of the time lol. It was fun.

Went to Coolidge last night with Tasha to watch Herbie the Love Bug lol. I heart that movie. It was fun. I love spending time with my Tasha. Pretty soon things will be so hectic we won't see each other as often. But things will work out.

Alright, well I guess I'm gonna go get my read on before I have to go to bed (and go to band camp, aaack!). Ta, my little chickadees. Here's a random thingy to keep your interest.

I'm in an 'oh, woe is me. I have not a friend in the world.' kinda mood. Nothing much to say really.

Everyone should know by now that I have 7 people living in my house. Well, guess what? Uncle David will be joining Aunt Kathy on Tuesday and we'll have 8 people. Then, my cousins will be coming down. Kimmie, who thinks she's better than everyone, and Shane who is just kinda a loner. They are 16 and 14 respectively and will be attending Ridgeland with me. It is my job to make them feel welcome. Yeah. I don't really like these people. We have nothing in common. Its going to be total hell. To top it off, apparently Kimmie is in honors classes, so she'll be with me all the time. Joy. I don't know how they are in honors classes as neither of them really attend school. They skip out at home almost everyday. They both flunked this semester. Whatever. I just want out of here!

SALIVA - Holdin On Lyrics
The day's reality around the bend.
Pain and misery my only friend
I raise a toast and I salute the end.
Six feet in the ground is where the living begins.
I got to get on with living or get the hell on with dying.
Shove a million dollars in my pocket but there ain't no
pacifying me.
Anyone can see, what's happening to me.
My life's out of reach of my arms but I'm holding on.
I'm living in a dream, and no one hears me scream.
I'm breaking at the seams of life but I'm holding on.
I've created a world that is devoid of love.
I'm praying to God and up to Heaven above.
My heart and my soul have turned to push and shove.
It's enough to kill me but it's never enough.
I got to get on with living or get the hell on with dying.
Shove a million dollars in my pocket but there ain't no
pacifying me.
Anyone can see, what's happening to me.
My life's out of reach of my arms but I'm holding on.
I'm living in a dream, and no one hears me scream.
I'm breaking at the seams of life but I'm holding on.

Saliva - Bother Lyrics
Wish I was too dead to cry
My self-affliction fades
Stones to throw at my creator
Masochists to which I cater

You don't need to bother, I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on, I won't let go 'til it bleeds

Wish I was too dead to care
If indeed I cared at all
Never had a voice to protest
So you fed me shit to digest
I wish I had a reason; my flaws are open season
For this, I gave up trying
One good turn deserves my dying

You don't need to bother; I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on, I won't let go 'til it bleeds

Wish I'd died instead of lived
A zombie hides my face
Shell forgotten with it's memories
Diaries left with cryptic entries

And you don't need to bother; I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on, I won't let go 'til it bleeds

You don't need to bother; I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on... I'll never live down my deceit

It's been a while (like always!) Sorry >.< Everybody has been pestering me to update but I haven't really been at the computer long enough until today.

Saw Howard Shore in concert in Atlanta not this past Saturday, but the one before. Went with Tasha, Cody, and Will. Cody drove us in his car. We were supposed to spend the night at Tasha's grandparent's house and go to the Renaissance festival the next day, but COdy had to be back at his boyscout thing, grr. But the concert was absolutely amazing! I had chills.

Saw Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. On opening night and in costume, of course. Marie, Michelle, Tasha, and me went together to the Bijou. I was from the Ravenclaw house, Michelle was Gryffindor, and Tasha and Marie were Slytherin. We wore old graduation robes, white button-down shirts, gray pants, and our house ties. I'll put up pictures. We had wands and books, too! As for the movie, it was good, but not exactly what I was hoping for. There was so much left out! And whats with all the talking shrunken heads? Also, I felt guilty for having thoughts about Dan and Rupert and Tom... >.<

Moving on, (it would take to long for me to continue my HP review), finally got the new Hanson CD! ^.^ ::does happy dance:: Its very very good. I wuv it. Also got LotR trivial pursuit. Went to the park the other day with Tasha and my Mawissa. It was very nice. I love spending time with them!

I spent a couple of days with my Ashy. I swear, her baby is going to pop out looking like its 3 months old! We played Halo for like 5 hours straight one day lol. I kept falling off cliffs and accidentally shooting Ashley, but its so addictive! Also watched anime, of course. Saw a series called 'Pretear' which I loved. Speaking of which, I will now only be known as Fenril, Princess of Disaster! BWAHAHAHA! ^.^;;; Anyway, it was lots of fun. I love my Fullers! (And torturing their cats! I wuv Riku, Aya, and Jing!) Ashley had a nice little baby shower, got lots of good stuff. While I was there I met Darla, who used to be part of the Seattle Knights (check them out online)! She does swordfighting for lots of stuff. She's met Adrian Paul from Highlander! (!!!) She said she would love to help the color guard with out Pirates of the Caribbean show! AHHH! So exciting! Now, I just have to convince Mrs. Wilkes and Christy...

Speaking of color guard, no one had been showing up to practice! Its really bothering me. I don't think we're going to have a very dedicated guard this year, and that means we won't have a very good guard at all. But, I need to stop worrying 'cause I can't do anything about it.

Went over to Marie's house yesterday with Tasha. Shannon came too. Marie and Shannon just got back from Disney World and the beach (::cries:: I WANT TO GO TO DISNEY!) Poor Shannon was soooo burnt on her back! Michelle was back at the beach, with Katie Cook this time. We just sat around and played Clue before guard practice. Tasha won both times =P It was fun.

Ack, this is pretty long. I'd better go. Love you all!

Ta, my little chickadees!

I meant to update sooner. Tried to actually, but I got almost finished and ready to post when I was kicked offline. I was so mad that I haven't wanted to try again since lol.

So, I got a car today! My first car! Its a 1990 Volvo 740. Red, 4 door, automatic, with a sunroof. It was only $300 because it had been wrecked into a school bus. But its ok! It just needs a little love...and about $500 worth of body work. By the way, anybody know any cheap towing services?

On a more depressing note, love. Why can't you just turn it off? How do you make it go away? Somebody please tell me. I'm so desperately in love and it hurts more than anything I've ever felt. I just want to stop caring so much about him, you know? He really wants to be my friend. He wants us to be close. I just. Can't. I honestly think that would kill me. He knows how I feel about him. For his sake, and mine, I wish I didn't feel this way. I know it must be hard on him too. It can't be fun to watch someone pine over you. Its just awkward. God, all this that I'm writing doesn't even make sense and there is so much that I can't put into words. Its just blinding pain. He cares about me, but not the way I want him to. I accept this. So why do I still have to be like this? When does it go away? Everyone tries to help, and I appreciate it so much, but no one really fully understands. This will go away someday, right? It has to.

If anyone reads this, leave a comment. Its nice to know you aren't alone it the world, yeah?

Ta.

I think I'm losing my mind and I don't know what to do. I can't talk to my mother because she is already mentally unstable and I can't talk to my friends because, God, I love them so much and I can't do that to them. I feel like the only way they ever see me is unstable or out of control, especially Will and Tasha, and I just want them to like me so much and God I hurt so bad. Why can't I be normal? Why do I have to hurt like this? God, all I've ever wanted is to be normal...

Check out the icon!

Fri, 09 Apr 2004 05:22:24 GMT

Isn't my icon just the sweetest? I love it! ^.^

Bleh. Have a lot to write about, but I'm lazy lo. Maybe I'll do it tomorrow?

Mon, 05 Apr 2004 02:13:13 GMT

Lots of stuff to talk about. I'll start with the obligatory movie reviews.

Bring It On Again: Cute. Fluff. Filmed only in 28 days so obviously not as good as the first, but still. Bonus points: In the special features there is a 'cheer-along' with the opening scene from the first movie. Watch it if you're looking for some upbeat fluff.

Bend It Like Beckham: Excellent! A must-see. Deals with cultural discrimination from all sides, hypocrisy, and average life. There is an awesome bit near the end where the scenes seamlessly move between the excitement and energy of the soccer tournament and the excitement and energy of the traditional Indian wedding. Sounds like heavy stuff, but its actually very funny and cute. Also, the acting is terrific.

The Prince & Me: FluffyCuddlySweet! Ack! Sooo good. Julia Stiles is an amazing actress and her character reminds me a lot of me. The down-to-earth people and twists and turns make the story seem more believable. Everyone must go see it. NOW. Made me cry. ^.^

Now, on to other things. I'm making a 68 in Geometry. WTF? I've never even made a C in a class! I wasn't going to tell my mother about it, but I did. Now she's planning a meeting with my teacher. It's not going to do any good because my teach doesn't give extra credit. I don't know what I'll do if I have to take the class over again. I'm not the kind of person who takes classes over again. Not that there is anything wrong with it, because there isn't. There are just so many other classes I need to take and it will throw off my whole high school-to-college plan.

I'm on my period and very pissed off at the world. I'm mad at everything and everybody. Then, I'm sad and lonely. Then, I'm mad again. I hate hormones.

Since October, hen everything came out, my mother has been a wreck. All she does is cry. This is going to make me sound like a heartless little bitch, but I have to get it out. Every time she starts crying, I want to scream or hit her. I can't take it. It's making me sick and that just makes me get mad at myself because I shouldn't feel that way about my mother. I don't know what to do. She cries every 5 minutes. She can't watch tv or listen to the radio because everything makes her cry. She has never been the most mentally stable person and now she's fluctuating between instability and normality. All I know is that I'm never going to have my mother back. She is never going to be the same again because he made her what she was. And I hate it.

God, I'm in love. I'm in love and it hurts so bad. Every time he smiles at me I think I'm going to faint. I go out of my way to be around him because everything seems so much better when he's around. He knows how I feel about him, I think. It upsets me because he does care about me, just not the way I want. I think it would be so much better if he just didn't care. I worry that I make him uncomfortable because he knows. I know it must show when I look at him. I just don't know what to do.

The whole band is in VA beach. Well, not really anymore. They should be on their way home right about now. I miss everyone so much! Especially my Tasha. I'm making her a CD as one of her birthday presents that has a bunch of songs that describe our friendship on it. Harder than it sounds! Anyway, I can't wait til they get back so I can hear about their trip. Gotta go find Tasha a little e-card. It's her birthday in a few hours.

Ta!

Sun, 28 Mar 2004 03:43:50 GMT

Bleh. Really ticked off right now. Tasha called me at about 7:30 and asked if I wanted to go to Steak & Shake with her, Will, and Cody. Cody ended up not being able to make it, but we went on ahead. We got to S&S and decided to go to Sonic instead because the drive thru line at S&S was so long. So we went to Sonic and got our drinks.

This whole time, Will was out eating at Logan's Roadhouse and we were just waiting for him. Well, we got bored and decided to just wait in the Logan's parking lot. We opened the back hatch and just sat there listening to the radio. (A couple of cops pulled up but they only laughed and asked if the line was that long, thank goodness.)

Well, finally around 8:45 Will comes strolling out with his brother Tyson and one of Tyson's friends. Tyson and his friend left to go home. First thing Will asks is "Where's Cody?". Now, don't get me wrong, I absolutely adore Cody, look up to him even. But, really. That's just rude. He asked what we were doing. We told him that we had been waiting for him, obviously. He then proceeds to tell us that he is going home, to bed.

WTF?

Honestly! He made plans to go out with us and then breaks them without even blinking! I wonder what goes on in his head? Does he just really not like Tasha and I anymore? Or does he just not like people in general? Does he actually have any emotions at all??? UGH! I'm just so mad and hurt.

I guess I'll go for now. Ta.

-Brooke

I'm BAAAAAA-AAAACK!

Mon, 22 Mar 2004 02:40:06 GMT

Hello, everyone! I decided it was high time to update! I'll start out with a movie review! LoL

Starsky & Hutch: Saw it yesterday with my mommy. Was fun, but awkward as the movie is so slashy I couldn't contain my squeals of delight at the gratuitous amounts of boytouching. It was soo funny! And Will Ferrell was in it! And the old Starsky & Hutch! And...Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson! LoL Anyway, everyone should go see it now. Drool over the magnificence of the Ford Gran Turino. Plan to buy me one. Then, write me slashy S&H fan fiction. Yes, preciousss...

So, I'm branching our with my music choices. I've listened to a few things from the Darkness, Switchfoot, and Franz Ferdinand and been very pleasantly surprised. If anyone has any listening selections, please leave me a comment!

Ack. I have a huge Geometry project due Friday. Katie and Chris and I are working on it. I just don't understand geometry! I've never had a problem with math before, but suddenly I'm failing my tests. I was bawling after class on Thursday because I failed so miserably on the last test. I didn't even answer half the questions. What made it worse is that I thought I finally knew what we were going over. I just don't know what I'm going to do.

Currently I'm reading a book called "Fire From Heaven" by Mary Renault. Its a fictional account of the life of Alexander the Great. If I didn't know any better, I'd swear I was reading novelized Smallville fan fic. It's the exact childhood of Lex Luthor and his relationship with Clark Kent aka Alexander's Hephaestion. The relationship between Alexander and Hephaestion is absolutely beautiful. There is nothing written to imply that they had a sexual relationship, just this incredibly deep love bond. They were soulmates, and completed each other. They would have gladly sacrificed their lives to save each other and Hephaestion did. Their love was so deep that losing Hephaestion killed Alexander. He withered away and within 3 months was dead. He believed strongly that they would be reunited in the afterlife. My heart clenches up in my chest when I read about them. Love that deep and unconditional is so rare today.

Alright, I guess I'd better take off. Love you all bunches!

-Brooke

I'm still alive!

Mon, 15 Mar 2004 00:31:34 GMT

I'm a horrible journaler >.<

This is just a short post to stay I'm still alive. I'll post again sometime this week. In the meantime, read this pretty poem!

When Beauty and Beauty meet
All naked, fair to fair,
The earth is crying-sweet,
And scattering-bright the air,
Eddying, dizzying, closing round,
With soft and drunken laughter;
Veiling all that may befall
After -- after --

Where Beauty and Beauty met,
Earth's still a-tremble there,
And winds are scented yet,
And memory-soft the air,
Bosoming, folding glints of light,
And shreds of shadowy laughter;
Not the tears that fill the years
After -- after --

BAND CAMP IS OVER! WHOOOOOOOO! ::coughs:: Um, yay? >.>

Before I talk about my week in Hell, I have a few other things to say.

Went to Jenkin's for dinner last night after the parent performance. As we were paying, the cashier chick looks at my mommy and says, 'How old are they?' (Talking about Chase and I). Mama said '15 and 7.' Chick looks at me and says '15? she looks 12!'. GAAAAAH! WTF?! ::kicks cashier::

Watched Daredevil last night. Was ok. Colin Farrel's character, what a weirdo, eh? Major issues, there. I like the song that was playing when they introduced his character. "Yeah, I'm Irish, but I'm not a leprechaun". LoL

Saw the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen on Sunday with Mama, Daddy, Chase and Tasha. These two teeny-boppers sat right in front of Tasha and I and they were wearing perfume so strong it gave us a headache. Bleh! Be considerate, people! Anyway, the movie was really good! They could have done more with the characters, though. Shane West and Stewart Townsend were yummy as Special Agent Tom Sawyer and Dorian Gray lol. I couldn't decide which I liked best. Tom, the young, sweet, impetuous All-American Boy, or Dorian, the sexy, suave, ever-unflappable Englishman. Then there was the fact that it was an entire two hours of hearing Sean Connery talk! WOOT! I heart him lol. ^.^

Getting my hair cut and highlighted on Saturday. Very short. Like Mandy Moore on the cover of this month's Seventeen. Hope it looks good! ::crosses fingers::

http://www.csmonitor.com/2003/0724/p14s01-stin.html
Wow. Transmitting touch by internet. What will they come up with next? V. cool, but a little squicky, too. I mean, think about people who are gonna use it for cyber sex....ewwwww!

Anyway, band camp. Twas hot and sweaty and sticky and PAINFUL. That about sums it up. Lunch was fun everyday. A little uncomfortable sometimes, because I went with Tasha to hang out with her friends some. Overall, I think they don't hate me and thats good lol. One day sat inside the pool house with Jon and Will while Tasha, Emily, Cody, Adam, and Kevin were swimming. We had a very interesting and enlightening conversation about many different things. Tasha walked in and watched us a few minutes with her hand over her mouth. I was like, 'What's wrong?'. She said, 'Nothing, its just like walking from the Porn Channel out there to A&E in here!' Apparently Cody and Adam were having 'Porn breaks' while swimming lol. Will, Jon and I were just acting like old people. While going from place to place we turned down the windows and blasted songs like "Fever for tha Flava" and "Not a Virgin Anymore" lol. Prolly scared some people. All week I hugged poor Will every time I saw him. He hates me now lol. He's one of those people who likes to have personal space and I...am not. I an a cuddle-slut lol.

Found out that Christy (color guard instructor) likes Austin Powers lol. Ashley B. and her were quoting it all week. "Fajah-Fajah-Fajah can you hear me?-Fajah!" lol.

Bleh. This is very ramble-y. I probably have a lot more to say but I can't remember it lol. Will post later. Ta my little chickadees!

Been a while!

Sun, 13 Jul 2003 23:19:39 GMT

Ack! I guess I'll start from the 4th of July. The fam and I went down to Atlanta to stay for a couple of days. Ended up stuck in a hotel room with one bed. >.< Drove to Stone Mountain that night to watch fireworks, but it was backed up for three exits so we had to turn around. Highlight of my stay: Coming back to the hotel and finding that the PPV channel showed movies that weren't out yet. Watched X2: X-Men United that night instead of fireworks. Woke up the next day and went to Stone Mountain early. Stayed there all day and it was fun. Fireworks and laser show started at 9:30. It had been raining on and off all day so we had our umbrellas. At about 7:30 we got on a boat to kill time. Ended up getting our umbrellas stolen. We were like "oh well, it looks like its done raining anyway". WRONG. At 9:00 it started to rain. I don't mean sprinkley rain, I mean RAIN. Like, you were soaked in 2 seconds. We had to say screw it and go back to the car. The walk to the car was miserable. We were soaked to the bone and you couldn't see in front of you. We finally got in the car and guess what? The battery had died. It took forever to find someone to jump us off. We went back to the hotel and collapsed into bed. Bleh.

On a lighter note: Saw Pirates of the Caribbean Wednesday with Tasha, Kristina, Ashley, Kevin and his not-girlfriend (riiight lol). We were all pirate-y with swords and hats and stuff lol. 'Twas fun! And the movie was SO FRIGGIN' AWESOME! OMG! I can't wait to see it again ^.^ (Which should be this weekend. I told my parents they HAD to see it!) Everybody should go see it. NOW!

Dunno if I wrote about it before, but Kris-chan and I are writing a Moulin Rouge parody fic. It's gonna rock! LoL funny stuff! I think after we do this I wanna write a Princess Bride parody. Another awesome movie! Watched it last night and was inspired. Everyone should also see it. NOW! ^.^

Lalala...raaaaaain....

Someone needs to take my tattoo marker away from me. I'm sooo very tempted to just scrawl all over myself with it. And whatever blank surface happens to be nearby. Doodle, doodle, doodle...ack! >.<

BLEH. ITS ALMOST BAND CAMP TIME. NOOOOOO! AHHHHH! I don't know if I'll survive!!! x.x

MY TWINNY TWINS ARE BACK! SQUEE! They went to Tybee Island and I miiiiiiiissed theeeeeem! But now they be back and our group is complete again. ^.^

I really need to find a sewing machine and finish my Eowyn costume. >.>;;

I can't find a good background for my desktop! WAAAAH! I've been searching like all daaaaay! ::is whiny today:: ^.^;;

Feelings on LotR relationships: I'm going to talk het relationships right now. GASP! I know. But they must be acknowledged. I feel that Aragorn and Eowyn should have ended up together. They're just so...so...perfect together, ya know? Something in me feels like she just settled for Faramir, knowing she could never have Aragorn. I'm extremely upset about that. Some have argued that the Eowyn/Aragorn thing was just lust, physical attraction, but I disagree. She grieved for him when she thought he was dead. She almost died because of it. I don't know, but that doesn't sound like lust. Faramir is a great guy and all, he really is. In real life he'd be perfect for me, lol. He's studious, loves books, doesn't fight for the sake of fighting. But that isn't what Eowyn needs. And Aragorn doesn't need a quiet, less-brains-more-beauty wife. Nothing against Arwen, of course. I think she should run off with Legolas or Haldir or someone. ::Hears the shrieks from a thousand angry fan girls:: Well, I guess I'd better stop rambling about story book relationships and deal with mine in the real world! LoL

More later. Ta!

AHHHHH!

I haven't updated in so long! I'll start with a few random notes.

1) I can't wait until Pirates of the Caribbean! Sexay boys, yes yes.
2) Saw 28 Days later today. 'Twas good, but not scary.
3) Bought a way cute skirt and Rocky Horror Picture Show shirt at Hot Topic. V. happy! ^.^
4) There are many movies with pretty boys in them coming out this year. This makes me happy...you know where! LoL

Okay, so I left on the 23rd for Gulf Shores with Tasha and her family. We came back on the 27th. I had soo much fun! We hung out at the beach most of the time. OMG, I was sitting in my chair reading Harry Potter and I looked over and there was this totally hot blond sitting a few feet away reading it too! Then, get this, his TWIN walks up! I swear, I thought I was going to die! Two of them? How much better could it get? LoL Tasha was like "One for you and one for me!" Unfortunately, we never got to talk to them. But looking was just fine with me! ^.~ We built a huge sand replica o Helm's Deep. It ROCKED! People kept walking up and looking at it. Then, this bratty little girl walks up and tries to know it down. I thought I was gonna have to lay the smackdown lol but she was distracted by something else. I put on sunblock three times that day but I still burned. >.< Suckiness. Another day we went shopping. I got some really cute shirts plus we got out Peace, Love & Tolkien shirts made. THEY ARE SO AWESOME! I am v. pleased ^.^ The day before we left we drove down to Biloxi to the Beau Rivage casino. The buffet had like 500 desserts lol I was in heaven! We had to stay in the arcade since we weren't old enough to gamble, but it was fun! We played Dance Dance Revolution like 50 times and always did it to "It's Raining Men" lol. I MUST HAVE A DDR MACHINE! Anyway, 'twas a very good trip. I'll probably pst my pics from it somewhere, so when I do I'll put a link.

Read Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Didn't get to get it at midnight on the 21st, so I moped around the house saying my soul was being sucked from my body. Good times, good times lol. Anyway, it was extremely good, but I was a little disappointed. It seemed like J.K. was just kinda half-assing it towards the end. And a good character dies! It's so sad! I cried. It's gonna take me awhile to get over it. >.<;; I got one of th official boxes that the books were shipped in! Yayness! ^.^ Also won a HP goody bag from Waldenbooks with a hat, 2 stickers, 2 boxes of Bertie Botts' Every Flavor Beans, and 4 of those nifty metal bookmarks.

Tasha stayed over here last night and we rented Deep Impact thinking, "Oh, haha, Elijah is in it! We'll make fun of his hair and acting!" We are so stupid. We were totally sobbing by the time the movie was over. LoL major dorks.

WHY ARE THERE NO NEW DOM/BILLY FICS?! I've read them all and I'm dying from withdrawl! SOMEBODY HELP ME OUT HERE!

My sunburn itches. >.<

If you ever get the chance, read "Angus, Thongs, and Full-Frontal Snogging". HUCKING FILARIOUS!

All right, I need to go help with dinner now. I'll probably write more later. Love and stuff! Ta!
