Jonas Brothers- "Six Minutes" Acoustic -Joe forgets words

:(

Hello

I haven't posted anything here in quite a while.

I enjoy blogging. I really do. But sometimes is so difficult to express how I feel in words--especially when there's a whirlwind of emotions whipping through me. And the few times I am successful in manifesting my thoughts through text, it's hard to post. Who really wants all of their thoughts and feelings heard or read by people? There are a few people who crave that, but for the most part I'm not one of those people. It's hard to put yourself and your emotions on display for others to see. And as ironic as it may be, it's harder to show that vulnerability to your own friends. Maybe that's just me, but sometimes it's easier to bare your heart to a stranger.

I realized that more often than not, I'm expected to be stoic. I'm not exceedingly surprised by this considering it's actually rather difficult for me to express extreme emotions at times, but nevertheless it surprises me when others are surprised that I have emotions. I'm not resentful toward this. In fact, it sometimes puts me at an advantage. Still, it's a bit awkward when people meet the Nicole inside my head. She's a little bit different than the other one.

This post has just been a long string of thoughts that may or may not be completely coherent. And maybe no one will read this post and maybe someone will. Whatever the case may be, writing this was somewhat cathartic.

I think I'm ready to start my homework.

OMG

I really should be doing my homework, but I'm overwhelmed with how stupid the people on the show Laguna Beach are. I've never seen a whole episode until now. I have not been missing out on anything.

Best Lines:

• "Oh my gosh, did you see her make up? It was, like, so Mission Viejo. Or inland Orange County. Not like here."

• "Oh my gosh, that's your car? You look so cute in it!"

What did I learn? It's treasonous to break the very strict make up code of Orange County. And when choosing a car, the deciding factor should not be its safety or fuel economy, but how cute I look in it. Man, I can't believe I've been living in the dark this whole time.

Busy, Busy, Busy

So this new thing I've been trying isn't really working for me. It's called "trying in school." I kind of have no choice but to continue with it though. Maybe school is overrated. I think no one should go to school and we should all just live based on the knowledge we're born with and acquire naturally over our lifetimes. Not really. I'd hate to be even stupider than I am now. Cayan and I came up with an addition to the age old saying "Ignorance is bliss." Our version goes: "Ignorance is bliss, but it makes those around you pissed." Of course, we're being optimistic and assuming that you're not surrounded by ignorant people.

I've been on a Simon & Garfunkel jag lately. I mean, I'm always in the mood for feeling groovy, just more recently than usual--I desperately hope you got that pun.

Guitar Hero III came out on Sunday. My sisters and I went to the midnight launch "party." And oh, it was one heck of a party. Waiting in line for fifteen minutes outside GameStop and then showing them a receipt? MAN. I now know why they call it a party. I think people get that it's not a party. It's kind of offensive. OMG, we should SUE them.

A majority of the people attending the party were Wii/XBox 360 owners. I know, I feel sorry for them too. EMBRACE PROGRESS. Don't let them trick you into thinking that a half step up is actually a whole step into the future of digital entertainment.

WHY IS EVERYTHING DUE ON THURSDAY?

I'm eating Ruffles®. (Don't want them to sue me.)

Movies

Today was PSATurday.

Now watch these movies:
- An Affair to Remember (one of my favorite movies)
- Rear Window
- Roman Holiday (classic)
- Come September
- Madame X
- Wait Until Dark (another one of my favorites)
- Seven Brides for Seven Brothers
- Dream Wife
- The Birds

ready...GO!

A Blogging Kind of Day

So, after writing one entry, I feel like writing another.

Question: Why do Chuck E. Cheese commercials always look like they paid for the editing in tokens? I mean, the corporate dudes up there insist on making them look like they were made in a van somewhere.

Or maybe that was just bothering me and I needed to express it. I know you agree with me.

So, I finally called the phone insurance company today. It was a standard experience, complete with my dad insisting on talking to the claim lady about the fifty dollar deductible. Now he's all riled up and still complaining about it. Yep, that's where I get it from.

Despite a wonderful APUSH test that I have high hopes of failing, I feel moderately happy because I don't have that much homework. I can go to church for the first time since school started. Yay.

I'm eating a sandwich.
