Last Call On The Dance Floor, Baby Let's Roll Into The Stars Tonight!<3

I wanna see the sunriseee. :D
Preferably one like this. (: -->

So, all day today, I've been singing TRT, and M.I.A. Haha, its kinda weird that they both have three letters in their name. :]

I know I'm mean. Its in my blood. Example, whenever someone just likes a band for ONE of their popular songs, I get all mad. Like "Oh, that band has better songs than that!" But really, I do stuff like that too.

I had an epiphany two weekends ago, and I'm gonna stop trying to be mean like that. I know it was my new year's resolution, but so far its not really working out. So, starting recently, I've been nicer to people. :D

Today, after school, there were these three old dudes in the grass fields handing out MINI ORANGE BIBLES. They are so cool. They were like "You can have one, if you're going to use it." And when I got in the car and told my sister, she said "If you read an excerpt from this everyday, I'll be happy."
She said that she's religious because when she reads the bible, she can connect with what people wrote thousands of years ago. I think that's cool. :]

Right now, I'm listening to Love It Or Leave It. Its the first time I've listened to them. I'm listening to the song called "You, Me, and this Christmas tree." I don't know why I've been singing Christmas-related songs this week. That's besides the point; Its a cute little song. :D

[I'm pretty much just rambling right now, so deal with it. :D]

Instead of using Google, you should use this website called Blackle. Its exactly like google, except that the site is black instead of white. Using a black screen saves energy, because using a white screen uses alot of energy. So yeah, go green, yo. (Or in this case...Black. xD I love you, Taime! :D)

Closure:
-CJM, TEG, GEC. They all make me happy. ;]
-I'm hungry........................FOR NEW MUSIC! :D
-My children will know The Beatles better than any other band.
-The last days of this school year will be KILLER! :DDDDDDDD

Fare Thee Well,

Missing In Action!

WELL HELLO THERE!♥
As the title clearly says, I have been missing in action. [from blogspot.] So many events have taken place! I'll just have to tell you them all. ;]


TRT SHOWS!♥
So, on April 18th, and on May 1st, I went to two concerts that This Romantic Tragedy performed at. This Romantic Tragedy is a local band here in Las Vegas that are getting more and more popular with each day. :D There's six band members- Jay Cammilleri on vocals[singing&screamo], Kyle Huender on guitar, Gabe Centeno on keyboard/vocals[mostly screamo], David Diaz on vocals/guitar[singing], Carlin Leavitt on bass, and Mark Neuhardt on drums.

The April 18th one was FREE at galleria mall. I know it was a while ago, but it was still a fun day. I just started listening to TRT, and their genre is screamo/electronica. I like ittt. :D I loved their music when I heard this show, so I listened to them more often.
During the day, Taime, Jannellynn & I went crazy trying to find Gabe, so we can take a picture with him. Taime & I made him bracelets. By the time we found him, THE BRACELETS DIDN'T FIT! D: So he didn't put them on. x[ But we finally got our picture with him. :D
Meanwhile, Taime & I had our "post-concert-obsession." Its this fettish we have. After a concert, we get obsessed with the band we saw. :]
Jannellynn, Gabe, Taime, Me, and Seejay. :D
Taime's short. xD

The May 1st one was super duper fun. I got pictures with all the band members, and even got Gabe's phone number. ;D But I'm not allowed to give it out. He made me pinky swear. :3 We were front row [duh] and I had a really good time. I was jumping and singing along this time. So booyahh. :D Taime & I had made bigger bracelets since the April 18th concert, and we wore them up until May 1st. We found Gabe outside, and we were like "WE MADE YOU BIGGER BRACELETS!!" and he was like "YESS!" And he put them on, and they fit! PERFECTLY! :DDD

[I look gross in the pictures, so ignore the ugliness ;D]
Me, Jay, Taime, and Erica.
Erica covered my face! Dx

Me, Gabe, and Taime.
He wanted us to be BR00T4L. :D

Taime, David, Me, and Erica.
David wasn't ready. xD

Me, Mark, and Taime.
This is a good one. :D

Me, Kyle, and Taime.
Kyle looks pretty high. xD


Me, Carlin and Taime.
Kinda blurry. x]

KNOTTS BERRY FARM TRIP! :D

On May 2nd, my publications class, dance, and step team took a longgg drive to California to go to Knotts Berry Farm! The bus ride was weird...Jannellynn and I sat way up front, so we were right by Ms.Qustandi and her boyfriend[James] while everyone was socializing and having fun towards the back of the bus. I slept most of the way there...[Considering I was having fun at a TRT concert, and staying up til 1:30am because Seejay didn't get picked up from my house until then... ;D]

For breakfast, we stopped in Barstow at McDonalds. Eeew. It was pretty cool though, because there were trains you could play in by the front. :D Jannellynn & I ate hash browns & apple dippers. ;] You have to admit, apples and caramel are pretty dang good. [do you say car-mal or care-ah-mel? :D]

Finally, after a bajillion hours, we arrived to Knotts! It was my first time there, but I was too chicken to go on any of the scaryy rides. The only intense one was this thingy where you sit on it, and your feet hang down, and it flips the chairs over and over in the air. It hurt me and Jannellynn's crotch. x[ The first couple hours at Knotts, Jannellynn & I hung out with Kris and Nick. Then, Katherine, and Jessica joined. After that, Monica and Tjay joined us. After that, Mariel, Violet and Daniella came. Then Victoria and Sarah. Then Taylor, Chelsea and Cindy. The whole publications class was together. :D

I think one of our favorite rides was the water ride. Not the almost-90-degree-angle one, the one where you sit in a circular boat, and it takes you down a river flowin thing. I went on it like a billion times. Before the day was out, the whole class went on two boats. The boat Jannellynn & I were on was considered 'The Party Boat' because we were really crazy and hyper and everyone wanted to ride with us. xD On our boat was Jannellynn, Sarah, Monica, Tjay, Mariel, and me.
Mariel was so funny! She was screaming at the top of her lungs for the whole ride! &We didn't even get wet that much! I almost pissed my effing pants, because she was being so silly! xDD

We had like three funnel cakes! They're so yummy & addicting! xD
Jannellynn & I got matching brass knuckles necklaces. ;D Nick spent forever trying to find a token machine because he wanted to play an Initial D game in the arcade. He didn't even beat it. He got super mad afterwards. xD

Ahhh, so much happened that day but I can't really remember. x]

The bus ride home was pretty weird. Jannellynn's parents were in California at the time, so Jannellynn just stayed with them. Mariel sat with me at first on the bus, then she invited me to sit with her, Violet, and Daniella.
[It was cute because Violet was texting Beau, and Seejay was with Beau, who was telling Violet to tell me that Seejay misses & loves me. x3]
I didn't bring any pillows or blankets, and everyone looked so cozy just snoozing with their giant body pillows, and fleece blankets. So, on the way home, I slept in fetal position just listening to TRT, with my hood on my head. [not to mention my jacket was still wet from that water ride.]

Finally arriving back in Vegas, I was so relived. I stepped off the bus, and the warm Vegas weather just made me happy. It was a long day, and I was happy to chat with my sister for the car ride home. Unfortunately, I was expecting a warm welcome when I got home from my mom and nephew. [sister was going out] But I walked in, and the house was uber quiet. I checked the bedrooms, and they were both SLEEPING! So I felt lonely, and called Seejay. x]

Knotts Berry Farm Pictures! :D
Mariel & I had an interesting moment. :o
xD

Tjay & I chillin like a villian w/ Ronald McDonald. :D

Bizarre-ness ;D

I miss having black eyeliner.

Jannellynn is seriously one of my best friends. We were trying to do a "1-2-3-4" thing, but instead of using two fingers in the last one, Jannellynn used her whole hand. xD And freaking Nick in the back. Such a stalker. :] And if you don't get the picture, listen to "1, 2, 3, 4" by the Plain White T's. ;D
(BTW. Jannellynn, if you're reading thiss; I'M HAPPY FOR YOUUUU. :D♥ )

-Spring Break! is going really well! On Saturday [April 4th], it was Christine's birthday!! I couldn't believe that a year had already passed since her last party. It was pretty fun, hehe. Erica was the first one to greet me, and she had a flower in her hair. :] Cheyenne freeaking stole my phonee!! Like she always does, but still! I have my personal things on thereee. x]] Seejay and I went upstairs for a while, and talkedd. I think I have a problem with peopleee. xD

Monday[April 6th], was my sister, Janey's, birthday. I dressed nicely kinda, my fam-bam went to Chevy's. :D It was my mother, my three sisters, and my nephew. It was good fun, especially when my sister got a little drunk, and kept talking in different voices. xD

Tuesday[April 7th] my sister, Joy, asked if I wanted to go with her to a party. They were celebrating Cambodian New Year at a banquet hall. It was interesting. Seejay got to go with me, and we got there around 6 or 7. x] When we got in line to get our food, Seejay saw someone from school, and they were talking, so that was nicee. :] THENNN I saw this kid DANNY. Not Danny, our funny Danny. A different one, that freaked me out last school year. I saw him behind us in line, and I thought I recognized him. But I didn't think it was, so I shook it off. But I guess the Danny kid tapped Seejay on the shoulder or something, and then pretended he didn't do anything. Seejay told me that he went to his school, and that he went to my school last year. So I was like "OHMEHHGAWDD ITS HIM." So, I was paranoid for a few minutes and just kept my head down at our table for a while. x] I laid lowww. ;D
After everyone ate, the Cambodian band started playing, and everyone was dancing. It got suuuppper uber hot in there, so Seejay and I went outside to talk. He got hyper, and he's always so jumpy when he's hyper. xD
My sister made us come in after about an hour, because she didn't want us to get kidnapped. x] My nephew was tired when we came in, so after a while, he fell asleep on me and Seejay. His head and torso was on Seejay's lap, while his legs were on mine. And Seejay's jacket was his blanket. It was soooooooooooo friggen cute. I wish I could have taken a picturee. x3

Today, [technically, in my head, still April 9th, even though its past midnight ahahha xD] I was in such an Owl City mood. I've been listening to Owl City all day, and I even started drawing AND writing because of it. I was practicing my printing not handwriting. I consider printing to be the different "fonts" I can write in. Haha, I'm such a nerd. xD

-Other Family♥ If I had a family made of people we all knew, this would be my family: My parents are Audrey Hepburn and George Harrison. My brothers are Brendon Urie, Zach Braff, and Demetri Martin. [The other relatives are pretty trivial, so I'm not gonna mention them.]


As I was watching Scrubs today, an inspirational episode got me thinkin. If Zach Braff was my brother, I'd appreciate the advice he'd give, and the laughs we'd make. I wouldn't take it for granted if we both were insanely hyped up enough to stay awake for a full 24 hours. That day would be filled with 50% laughter, and probably 50% advice/problems. Problems from me, of course. :b

If Demetri Martin was my brother, it would be soo epic. His creative mind, and silly drawings would keep me laughing for hours. Also, I'd try to beat him at a game of Cranium. [probably Zach on his side, Brendon on mine] He'd be a really great brother because he would be able to make me laugh. And that's a big deal for me. I try to laugh as much as I can. :]

If Brendon Urie was my brother, the musical talent he'd teach me would be GREAT!! I mean come on, he could teach me guitar, bass, piano, and...accordian I think? xD All I know is that Brendon is a master at instruments. Another plus to Brendon, is that he's loud and crazy. All the time. I wouldn't mind that in a million years. ;]

To sum it all up: Zach Braff would be a perfect brother because he can give advice. Demetri Martin would be a brilliant brother because he can make people laugh with the simplest of things. Brendon Urie would be an amazing brother because he's talented, and insane at the same time. [For nicknames, they would be: Zach, Peachy, and Bear. (can't come up with one for Zach xD)]

That's it for tonight. Hard to believe that I typed this all up in about a half hour, huh? I guess I had alot to say. Cherry-byee!

~Jem

P.S. If you're freaking out about the family thing, its okay. I dream WAY more than I should. :]

Bumblebees and stars. :D

Well hello thereeee! I guess every Friday is my blogging day. x]
This is a really amazing bag. Yes, yes, I know its just a bag, but c'mon. REINVENT♥ It even has a pretty print on the inside. Its spacious, and fits all my stuff. Unlike my Beatles bag, hahaha. :D

Today was so perfect in the morning. It felt so nice- sunny and breezy. My favorite. But then when it came to lunch[12pm] it was cloudy, windy, and rainy! It was cold, and terrible! You know I hate the rain now. x[

ANYWAYYY!! I've been greattt! This week was the last week before spring break [Whoo-hoo!] and it was really kind of simple. These weekdays were really good for me, and I'm so excited to relax over the weekend and spring break!! I wish we had two weeks, but unfortunately, we only have one week. But its alright, I better make the best of it. (:

My sister suggested that I bring a friend, and we could have a road trip to California. I don't know about you, but I LOVE ROAD TRIPS!! I don't know why, but driving at night, getting gasoline at 3am, and finally arriving just entertain me. x] Annnddd we might go to the beach; though I'd much prefer the pier. I love the colddd there, and all those little shops. I think my favorite shops at Pier 21 in San Francisco are the Sock Shop, and the Candy Baron. They sell this candy bar called the Violet Crumble there, and its freaking A M A Z I N G! Its like heaven in your mouth. Mmmm, now I want one. :D


I finished The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button, and it was simply amazing. I can tell why the movie was 3 and a half hours long- it was because the book skipped a lot of Benjamin's life. Like in one part of the book, it would be telling how Benjamin was in grade school, then it'd skip to when he applied for college. By the time I finished it, the next morning, I had been asking my mom all these questions about it. Because, as you can predict, as Benjamin turns about 80 years old, he's in the form of a baby. So, I asked my mom if his internal clock would reverse, so by the time he's like... 200, he'd actually look 200 years old. She said no, and that he would probably already be dead by 200. Then I asked her, that if Benjamin got older, the baby phase would get younger. I asked if by the time Benjamin reaches maybe 90 years old, he'd be a fetus. [Mom laughed real hard at that] She said no, because a fetus is INSIDE the mother. She said that Benjamin would just continue to age, and eventually just stay as a newborn. But yeah, you should read the book. Its interesting. :]

As this school year is ending, I'm gonna miss the following things:
+Inside jokes with the boys, [Cjay, Jason, Nick, Dennis, Aaron] and Taime.
+ The laughter I always hear at lunch. :] (Both 2nd and 4th lunch)
+ The stupid comments made in English class from Eric, Emilio, and Zhawne. [class clowns if you ask me. xD]
+PUBLICATIONSSS! I'm gonna miss my Mommie, T.J! Even though he's a boy, he's a good mommie. Except that my curfew is too early. xD I'm gonna miss those iMacs, and all those silly videos with Jannellynn. :]
+Sneaking food and falling asleep while taking notes in science class. x]
+MOST IMPORTANTLY; The laughs I've had in GEOGRAPHY!!

Geography is seriously my favorite class. I sit by Cjay, Jason, and Katrina. We're always taking with Mr.Hejduk[or as we call him- Mr.Duckie] and laughing, and he laughs with us. I'm always being clever with him, Jason asks him a million questions, and Katrina just says the randomest things to him. He gets along really well with us. Like today for instance, he let me read a book to the class! xD I think we're his favoritessssss. ;D
I think the reason why we get along with him so well, is because he's so YOUNG!! He recently became 24 in March. He's younger than TWO of my sisters. Daang, right? :P Anyway, he's such a bomb teacher. I just wish all the ignorant kids would give him a break. x]


I'm happy that Ryan's happy in California. He put this link on his Twitter and said "This is how you write songs." I clicked the link, and it was a song called "Say You Don't Mind" by Colin Blunstone. Its a nice song. Colin's voice is silky, but energetic at the same time. There's strings in the song, and that's what I like about it. You'd expect to hear this in a "running-through-the-sunflower-field" scene, y'know? Haha. :]

I'm on the hunt for some new music, so if anyone has any suggestions, I'd be more than happy to look into them. Right now, I'm likin indie, soft acoustic, and classical. I have this Debussy CD, and I absolutely love it. So leave a few artists or songs in a comment, I'd appreciate it. Thankss. :D
