Oh the fun.

Fuck you, college applications. The FAFSA was especially annoying. What worries me is that it kept asking about the 2005-2006 school year, when I want to apply for 2006-2007. If I did that for nothing--

My guitar class's workbook is laughably bad. No less than half the songs are titled after books (with the suggestion to read that book by so-and-so), and judging by the songs of the books I have read, the songs just don't... make me think of the book. Seriously. Consider level-1 picking-out-notes nonsense titled "A Wrinkle in Time", or whatever, and while I will admit that book was surreal and the song could be considered ethereal--somewhat--it's not quite the same effect. I think they just ran out of song titles for the etudes.

And, there's some random song called "Sakura" with Japanese lyrics. I kid you not. This amused me greatly.

Philipi brought his video i-pod to calculus and has infected me with this urgent need to finally get an mp3 player. It's shiny and slick and pretty and it plays Family Guy and it's sooooo nice. My family has been promising me an i-pod since last Christmas (and the past birthday), so I should collect on that.

i think sakura's japan's national anthem.

sakura, sakura, na na na na na na na~

this lady came to my class in fourth grade and taught us the song along with a set of dances complete with jazz hands.

[trenchkamen.livejournal.com]

Um, methinks not. I've heard the Japanese national anthem and it's annoying as all hell.

HAPPY HANDS CLUB.

I think the new American national anthem should be Bohemian Rhapsody.

[stabbityblkmage.livejournal.com]

that'd make us sound like a nation of dysfunctional families.

and rock and roll.

what about ballroom blitz? it's catchy and it sounds great in baseball stadiums.

[xcerebraledemax.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I agree with that.

Besides, Bohemian Rhapsody is MY theme song... MY national anthem.

That's right. Freddie Mercury wrote it juuuuuuust for me.

[stabbityblkmage.livejournal.com]

the nation of annie? what's your beach like?

[xcerebraledemax.livejournal.com]

Nude!

[trenchkamen.livejournal.com]

I thought Buck-Tick wrote your theme song.

[xcerebraledemax.livejournal.com]

Buck-Tick writes my life.

Darquer than Darquenesse.

[trenchkamen.livejournal.com]

I'd be too tempted to dance during the anthem.

[zychi.livejournal.com]

Yay for REM, sleep, Toky, trenchcoats and Zim. Don't quite have the attention span to fill out one of these myself tho

and songs can be written inspired by books. half of zeppelin's stuff was roughly based on tolkien for example. that, however, is an advertisement, and has little to do with music or books at all.

[trenchkamen.livejournal.com]

Oh, of course you can. If it's done well, it's awesome. But this is the etude crap for beginning guitar with a book title name slapped on it.

[a-k-i-y-a.livejournal.com]

Lets make a song called "Fags" and have the lyrics be random peoples names :O. The only note to be played on the guitar is the G-String. Because everybody loves that string.

Like Brian Peppers.

Idaho is for lovers ♥

WOULD ANYBODY KISS ME PLZ?? PLZ, PLZ, KISS KISS. LIKE STRAWBERRY COLORED DREAMS :D :D :D :D :D

Or something like that

[xcerebraledemax.livejournal.com]

LET'S. Yeah, I don't care if I was invited to that suggestion just now or not. :D

I'll kiss you. ..... In my dreams ;_;

[a-k-i-y-a.livejournal.com]

LETS MAKE THIS DREAM A REALITY ANNIE DARLING :D :D :D :D

^3^~~♥

yeeees

[trenchkamen.livejournal.com]

HAY REMEMBER THE TIME I BROKE MY G STRING?

So, it'd be, like, "ANNIE ANNIE ANN~IE!"

I want to be reading your mind in secret communication, Lauren II.

[a-k-i-y-a.livejournal.com]

Do you like coffee or lemonade, Lauren I?

Because It used to taste so goooood handmade.

And we alllll know how good you are with your hands.

DONT WEH ANNIE

[xcerebraledemax.livejournal.com]

More like "I am so smart! I am so smart! S-M-R-T-- I mean, S-M-A-R-T!"

[shineko.livejournal.com]

FAFSA *hiss* Horrible thing, really. And that's all I have to say about that X/

[trenchkamen.livejournal.com]

I just learned that I'm not supposed to fill it out until January 1 ._.

[shineko.livejournal.com]

Oh my XD;; Well, good for you for, uh, tackling it earlier? Unless that itself is bad, then I'm sorry?

....*snuggles*

[trenchkamen.livejournal.com]

Nah. Well, it's irritating, but what's done is done. This teaches me to pay more attention.

*wandering hands* :D

[shineko.livejournal.com]

....you need new music :D I like looking for reasons to upload stuff.

:O! *nibblesonaffectionately*

[hilorain.livejournal.com]

It's quite impressive that you know all the words to that REM song. :)

[trenchkamen.livejournal.com]

I did a lip sync to it in seventh grade for speech class.

[ariseishirou.livejournal.com]

Oh, Strawberry Kiss Kiss. Probably one of the worst songs of all time.

And why would you never wear boots? What if it's muddy outside, or you work in an industrial area that requires them?

[trenchkamen.livejournal.com]

It's a brilliant song and it makes me cry with... profoundness.

Joke behind that one is I wear nothing but black and boots, and when it's not 100+ degrees, a trenchcoat. Hence "Trench Kamen" instead of "Tuxedo Kamen".

[meyrevived.livejournal.com]

I never took you for an Invader Zim fan O.O

[trenchkamen.livejournal.com]

Big one!

[meyrevived.livejournal.com]

Really? I'd never think that zany humor like that would have gotten through to you...strange, but intersting ^_^

[trenchkamen.livejournal.com]

Jesus you people need to get to know me in real life. I'm insane.

[meyrevived.livejournal.com]

Oh I know you're insane, only not that kind of insane ;p

[gogglebeast.livejournal.com]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

I think I remember you doing this meme once before a bit ago, didn't you? Or am I just imagining things?

*gnawgnawgnaw* AHHH, LAUREN, WE NEED TO HANG OUT. It's only Monday, but, uh, still. XD <3

...And my god, the FAFSA are the most @#$R(&@ obnoxious things ever. You have my sympathies. ;~; *hugs*

[trenchkamen.livejournal.com]

It's likely I did it before.

That FAFSA is null and void.

[sumomonkeyninja.livejournal.com]

The number of comments you get is absurd.

:)

[trenchkamen.livejournal.com]

It's amusing, to be sure.
