I decided to sit home all night and not go to Battle of the Bands. Not feeling very well.

And in the process of not feeling well, I made a new AIM screen name. Boi Meats World . I love it.

Coal Chamber broke up?! I don't believe it one bit. They tend to overreact on things and just.. med it a year later lol.

7:52 pm - C Word
Did i mention i have a recorder? Did i mention it's blue, glittery, and i'm an absolute pro? Thanks to Sherry for handing me over a really cool guide for the recorder.

Anyway, our band has changed our name.. again. And I made a new website.. again. http://www.angelfire.com/wizard/cword
Visit. Comment.

Oh yes, Tuesday we went to meet Jay at Starbucks.. and the man of the moment didn't even show up! Hrmph. It's ok though because the guy's stalking Sherry's cell phone were funny enough.

Tomorrow, Battle of the Bands, my school. WOW

Holy jesus, yesterday Jenny and I rode our bikes for 16 miles. She at least had a normal sized bike.. mine was from 5th grade, and the seat was too small and my ass hurts. Just thought I'd share. We wanted to orignally go to the botanical gardens, but stopped 8 miles down the route and went to eat at the mall. It was too much to handle, so we went home.. making a total of 16 miles. I'm so great at math. Anyway, at the mall, I bought this blue glittery recorder for 5 bucks. I'm going to master this instrument. oh yeah, and 2 dollar fashion kleenex. shut up, i really had to blow my nose, and there aren't many options in a suburban mall.

so afterwards we just sat at jenny's, and Fetus came over with The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Jenny and i decided that our band would be themes after that movie. We just need to find a transvesite singer. So.. if anyone out there would like to audition..

I'm columbia.

I'm just about done with my essay. I have to leave soon with Sherry to go pick up Beav in Rockford.

10:53 am - Piano Penny Pimps
Yesterday my father calls me and he's like "LISTEN TO THIS" so i listen... listen.. and I hear music... and I realize it's a new From Zero song. I almost crapped my pants.. it was absolutely wonderful. The vocals were AMAZING. So the song finished and someone goes on the phone saying "so how'd you like it?" However, it wasn't my dad.. so I asked who it was and.. it was JETT. Woowoo. Hellooo Jett. SO we talked for like 10 seconds and.. that was about all. But it made my day.

So then we all took the bus to Kasia's.. and ran into her mom and we mobbed down her suburban streets. We had a quick stop at the grocery store and bought her an eggplant.

And then the party started. Our band played our first show.. and the Piano Penny Pimps were brought back to life from the summer project. WOw it so ruled. We will have a CD out next weekend.

And it came time to open presents. The highlight was the leather-jacket-biker journal that Jenny gave Kasia.. oooh man. The rest of the night was total chaos. 3 people left to go perform acousitcally outside of Ace hardware while everyone else slept in the suburban streets. This is what happens when the city kids arrive.

Around midnight i got home.

4:57 pm
Wow, i got NO SLEEP last night. Not even a few minutes. I kept looking at the clock to see if I had magically fallen asleep for a while.. but no.. only a few minutes went by. Around 5am I started to hear my mom walking around upstairs so i started throwing pillows and was just.. really mad. It was the longest night of my life. And I still had to go to school, but I couldn't function at all. I feel like I can break in half if poked.

Anyway, on a lighter note.. the Behind the Music of Garbage was yesterday. My dad watched it as well, and had a comment to say every 30 seconds. Anyway, I thought it was a great hour of television. They focused on the entire band and not just Shirley.. about everyone had equal time to speak. I thought that was nifty, I wasn't expecting it.. And damnit why is Shirley so beautiful.

Someone please do my homework.. I can't think at all

11:39 am - Excuse me, power fiend coming through
Yesterday we went to The Barn, AKA Arabian Knights to see Wilxbooth. I haven't been to that place since the summer and.. yeah. Jenny and I took the bus to Kasia's and stopped at the dollar store along the way. We wanted to be in full gear for THE BARN so we bought Kasia a straw hat, flowers, and a plastic purse. You need to look hot for those horses.

So we went to Kasia's and played a little Down With the Sickness yeaahm. And then we were on our way yay.

So we got to the Barn and saw Chris, talked to him a little. He always looks so happy lol. The first two bands blew. Jenny and Kasia ordered pizzas which SMELLED. Plus with horses right next to you.. it's just... not good. We felt really stupid being there.. the 3 Chicagoans. Everyone else there were 'regulars' of The Barn and knew each other.

Anyhow Wilxbooth were last and they were pretty good. I couldn't hear the vocals though. But then again i'm basically legally deaf so.

12:10 am - Jenny's birthday
OOOH MMMAAANNN.

So around 5 my dad calls me to tell me to get Jenny ready.. because we were gonna go somewhere at 6. So I called jenny and she was a little scared. At 6 we all got into the car and drove through some ghettos and whatnot.. and arrived at FROM ZERO'S PRACTICE STUDIO. It was terrific. My dad left with Pete to go get food and Jenny and I sat around and watched Jett working on the comptuer and Kid and Joe play some kinda video game. It was a little awkward at first. but they were cool and tried to start conversation. My dad came back with Pete and we sat in the lounge area, talked a bunch, took pictures, talked more, ate, blah blah. My dad was pretty embarassing but all was well. Wow it was just... great. wow.

So then we went to jenny's and we thought we'd be late for her own party.. but we weren't so yay. Slowly people arrived and we ate the food and attempted top watch '10 Things I Hate About You.' However once we got to the scene with the party, we realized how pathetic we all were.

So then we ate Jenny's guitar-shaped cake and opened present. kasia gave Jenny a waffle. It was the funniest thing i've ever seen in my life. wowzers. So then we sat in her room and made everyone listen to Lennon... they liked her which was good yay. I came home around midnight which is like a record for me.. wow

1:45 pm - COAL CHAMBAA
OKay so last night was 40 Below Summer/Ill Nino/Coal Chamber/Drowning Pool at the House of Blues. We first went to bennigans to meet up with From Zero Jay. We ended up going to the wrong Bennigans's and had to run 5 blocks to the other one. Who puts the same restaurant on the same street 5 blocks apart... well.. besides McDonalds. Sherry gave Jenny her present already and it was.. a blow up guitar. I loved it. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that Jenny put 2 huge bushes on top of my head.. it was horrible.. and she wouldn't let me take them out. They were literally bushes.

So then we walked to House of Blues and arrived about halfway through 40 Below's set. I wasn't impressed. Next was ILL NINO and they rule.. they get better every time i see them. And they played my favorite song so that made it all the better. After them, I was in full concert mode.

And then was.. COAL CHAMBAAA! From the moment they got on stage to the moment they got off.. Dez would NOT STOP SMILING. It was the most adorable thing. They all looked so happy to be played again.. except for Meegs but whatever. Mikey was a whole show in himself.. he kept using his head rather than a drumstick to bang the cymbals. That boy. Nadja has the most glorious hair. She had lots of energy but she's not no Rayna. They started with Loco, and played Big Truck, Clock, No Home, among others. 4 news songs too. I liked 3 of the 4 songs so that's a good sign.

And afterwards was Drowning Pool. About a quarter of the crowd left. They still don't impress me. C.J. is wasting his talent in that band.. bah. And Jacob isn't a roadie anymore =( Poor Jenny was in love with him.

And we saw Josh. He wasn't stoned or drunk.. imagine that.

9:46 pm - Platypus man
Yay so I just got home from seeing Lennon... and DJ Scary Lady Sara. (I'm not kidding, that's what the billboard said.)

We got to the el station and some fat man walks in front of us ont he escalator, literally taking an inch at a time, so we missed the first train and had to wait 30 minutes for the next one. Bah.

So we go to the Metro and we first see Beav, and he hands us all access passes and a photo pass and like.. everything. WOW. He is too nice. We got inside and listened to the mixes of DJ SCARY LADY SARA. oo oo. Then I saw Scarlett and we had to dodge her the rest of the show.

SO Lennon went on stage and I went to take some pictures. They started with Goatfudger as usual.. and went into My Beautiful. Soon enough Platypus man got into the photo pit and I couldn't make my way past him. Eventually I squeezed passed him and joined Kasia and Jenny for the rest of the show. They played every song except for Thank You and Morning, but filled it in with a new song that was terrific. Lennon closed off with 5:30 Saturday Morning and I was super glad to finally see that song performed. The girl next to me sang so loud and with such drama that I couldn't hear Lennon lol.

So after we just walked.. waited around for Daniel Ash.. Daniel Ash took his sweet time. Around 9 we went downstairs to leave, but stopped when we saw Beav and Lennon. She apologized in case Platypus man attacked me in the photo pit haha. Apparently he went into her dressing room while she was getting ready and took pictures of her. geezus. So we all got autographs, a picture, and said our goodbyes to Lennon and Beavis. It was a super night.

After that, Kasia's dad went and got a random car wash.. it was the scariest experience of my life.

6:11 am
Yesterday was Red River and Crash Poet and Oasis One Sixty. Jenny forced me to go to her house at like noon, so I went and ate chips for like an hour lol. Cathy, Allison, and Matt were already present. At around 1:30 we headed to her sister's house. We had to go in 2 separate cars.

Anyhow so we got there a little before 3.. with about 10 people there. Red River showed up about an hour late.. with half the band missing. Around 4 they went on stage and were still alloed to play a rather long set. Allison was fully happy to see her love on stage. They played our dance song but no one would dance with me. Psh.

So then we sat through Colonel Stem and Seedlock. I ordered a basket of cheesesticks all for myself, while the other 4 shared one basket between them haha. Seedlock were absolutely horrible. The singer apparently thought he was rock-star enough to growl at the crowd, cry, and knock the microphone stand over several times. Jenny and I went to the bathroom at least 5 times to get away.

And finally Crash Poet played. I had like 5 hoes in front of me.. one was humping herself and she was like a 40-year-old soccer mom. Wowzers. They played my favorite song for the first time ever. Yeah yeah yeah. Afterwards we said our goodbyes to Josh and evil Avi. Josh is such an awesome dad, bah.

So on the way home.. Matt had no clue like where he lived lol. So we drove around for an hour and finally found his house, and I was on my way home. woo woo

10:17 am - Ditchwater/Red River/Alone
Mmk so Friday night I just sat home with Jenny, because she was kicked out of her house lol, and Allison and Cathy came over for a bit. We made a dance for the Red River show. We ordered 2 pizzas and 2 crazy breads and ate it ALL.

So yesterday... Jenny and I got to the metro around 5:45? We cut in line and just.. stood. Dan came out and said hello. The Clubhouse wouldn't sell me my tickets. Eventually we got into the Metro for O-My-God-Ditchwater. I'm such a dork. However, Eric totally dissed me. I'm so upset.

So afterwards we walked around a bit.. Jenny wanted to drag me to go say hello to Eric.. so I ran away.. and I ran straight into a girl and her drink went flying all over her. I kept running.. and didn't even notice what I did until Jenny told me. So in fear of getting my butt kicked, I stayed in disguise the rest of the show.

Then I found Dan and he gave me a photo pass in order to take ALone pictures. We walked some more.. found Josh.. crazy kid... found Ed... another crazy kid. Red River went on but we were all split up and couldn't do our dance =(((

After Red River everyone left and it was basically Jenny, Josh, Kasia and I all deserted lol. I went to take some Alone pictures.. and I found some cool features on Dan's camera that I took advantage of. I hope the pictures came out okay. I went back to Jenny.. only to see her playing paper football with Josh. Wow they must've been bored. So i gave her the photo pass for a little so she could go take some pictures.

After the show I went on a search for Dan, and found him.. and then went on our way to McDonald's. Blah blah.. went home. Yay

6:48 pm - J DAVIS TRIO
MMk so yesterday Kasia and I left at like.. 3 PM to go see the Life Without soundcheck. Ken told us to ring the Metro doorbell. We were convinced he was drunk until we got to the Metro.. and they did indeed have a doorbell. Gorilla Man Roy let us in woo.. but we missed soundcheck. Darn the poop. Ken offered us coupons to Subway so we could go eat with them.. but I felt a little odd and told him we were just gonna go eat and McDonald's. And that's what we did. We sat in Mcdonald's for like an hour.

SO then we decided we need to DO SOMETHING. So we walked.. and walked.. 15 degrees below zero. Soon I found out i couldn't even move my jaw. We ran back to Mcdonald's and killed another hour in there. This is when i realized that my eyeshadow was FROZEN. It was the wierdest thing. Anyway..

So we went back to the Metro.. doors opened.. only like 4 people there. The Detachment Kit was first.. poopey.. majorly poopy.

Next was the J. Davis Trio. This was like jazz with a RAPPER. Oh my lord did it rock my world. At the end of the first song I decided to show some support, and Jenny walks in and asks me if i'm drunk. However, after Jenny listened to them.. she also knew she loved them.

So we walked around and ran into Ken again and others. We made a new friend named Ed. Rob mixed his band's CD. Ed is now the Diva singer of our band. We saw Josh and talked with him. Blah Blah. Rearview Mirror went on stage. We just sat on the balcony and Jenny went and saved Josh from Tom. Ran into Matthew too.. he didn't know who I was. Psh. Nothing interesting as of yet.

So then was LIFE WITHOUT OO OO. They played all the favourites. Ed joined us in the crowd fun. Ed was born to be a Diva. Scott shaved his hair into a halo.. it's really horrible. ANYWAY.. Life Without will be signed very soon.. you just wait and see. Oh yeah.

Jenny's car door was frozen.. I had to climb in through her door and over the seat. I got home and notice my dad bought me a new computer. Wowzers.

10:42 am
So, I can't go on the internet anymore at my house. It really blows. I miss talking with everyone, 'cause I hate phones. Anyway so yesterday I just went to Jenny's and we ordered really bad pizza and did nothing. I was gonna go out with Kolk and everyone.. but it seemed like no one wanted me there anyway. I mean, they called me last, only because they found out there was one seat left. So I was basically just like a last choice type of thing. So fudge that.

I talked to Ken on the phone last night. He wants me to come early to the Metro and ring the DOORBELL? Whaaaat. So yeah, looks like I got a show to go to tomorrow. Maybe my weekend won't suck after all.

10:46 am - The Virgin Suicides
Alright sooo.. Friday I went to Jenny's and guess what? We ordered pizza. It seems like that's all we ever do on Fridays.

Last night I went to Mollie's and we watched the Virgin Suicides. Wiiierd movie. So then I decided that Saturday we're gonna go get our hair cut together. I'm gonna go for a drastic change. Watch out. I basically ordered Mollie how to get her hair cut, but it seems like she likes what I decided for her, so it's all good. It's sick how excited we are. I just called the salon and they open at noon. So now I have to wait an hour. *Pees*

I made a little Lennon page with my new photos. Check that out here: http://www.freewebz.com/fromzero/lennon.html

4:49 pm - Lennon
Yesterday I came home from school, took the fastest shower eva, and ran into the car which held Sherry, Beav, and Jenny. We were on our way to Schuba's to see Lennon. Yyayy.

So we got there.. and left just as fast. Beav was on a search for deodorant so.. we went for deodorant. We saw a Dunkin Donuts and had to stop there too. Beav lives on a farm but won't admit to it. Some guy in Dunkin Donuts was really interested in Jenny's shoes.

So we got back to the venue but we still had time, so we went to the bus to see a live Lennon video. When we went back into the venue we realized Wilxbooth had finished playing. That was a major pooper, I really wanted to see them.

So then Dan arrived. We sat through Anyone, Speeddealer, and Monkey Paw. HOrrible horrible horrible. I noticed that the fat photographer was there that was at the last Lennon show. Also, Swidden guy was there. Swidden guy haunts us. Jenny and I had to hide in groups of people since this was an 18+ show.

Anyway, so Monkey Paw was finally done so I went up to the stage for Lennon. I asked Jenny for the time and some guy in front of me turns around and tells me the time the exact second I finish the question. So I ask Jenny if she can read the set list and tell me the first song, and he turns around and does the same thing. Mmk. Coolio.

So Lennon started with Property of Goatfudger, and immediately the fat photographer behind me starts beating me up with his stomache so he could get in front of me. No way Jose. I proceeded to take many pictures and see if I could annoy him. Thankfully, "My Beautiful" (one of my faves) was the second song, 'cause Jenny had to go home right after that =( So we said our goodbyes. I really wish I could've stayed longer but there was nothing anyone could do. Beav was super enough to come to the car. We had a photo moment.

So the night was very eventful and memorable. Thanks to Beav for sneaking us in. Jones' soda still sucks though.

12:15 pm - Sleepover last night.
First of all, GET BETTER MOLLIE! The Mega Virgins are waiting!

Second of all, my idea of a sleepover is when you actually SLEEP. But of course no one else thinks of it that way.

We went to the Holiday in for Allison's birthday partay. We ate at McDonald's and Lisa was walking around in short short short shorts. She had her coat on so it made her look like she had NOTHING on underneath. So these guys started to throw fries, and then whipped sauce at Nicole. So Lisa took an ice cream cone and threw it back at them, but missed lol. So then the guys chase after them with 4 large cokes, and I just stand and watch in amusement. So 3 of the guys got them in the middle of a very very busy street. I told the 4th guy how absolutely mature he was, so he stopped running, turned around, and went back into McDonald's without doing anything lol.

Anyway, so we went back to the hotel and everyone took a shower except for me basically, 'cause I was still squeaky clean. So then we take out the cake, which Priscilla made into the shape of a penis (!?!?!). Lisa takes the penis and throws it all over everyone. However, she didn't get me, so I started to run out of the room. We ran around the entire hotel with the cake and finally Lisa got me. It was horrid. Frosting everywhere. Ahhh. The walls and mirrors and everything in the hotel was covered in it.

So then they went swimming and Cathy and I proceeded to the workout room. Needless to say, I quit after 3 minutes. I got to talk to Mollie on the phone! Hi Mollie!

After that things started to go downhill. Jenny Kasia and I wanted to sleep so we kicked everyone into the other room. They were very loud. We could hear everything. Their entire conversation consisted of screaming obscene words. Then they start to knock on our doors and for the first time in my life I yelled like I've never yelled before. Ahh. Security came as well. Mighty fun. I tried to go back to sleep.

About 3AM i hear a woman freaking out in the hallway.. saying she has to wake up at 6 AM. However, the friends next door were still yelling and whatnot. The Security guy came and knocked on their door, and the morons turned off the lights and pretended they were sleeping haha. After about 10 minutes they finally opened the door. Security man told us we were gonna get kicked out at the next sound. Finally everyone went to bed.

This morning we had McDonald's. I had a raw sausage McMuffin. If i die tonight, you know who to sue mmk?

current mood: geeky
current music: From Zero - Mind Justice

Also, u love my new picture over there. Since Mollie got rid of her Hotdog picture, I had to get rid of mine since it made no sense anymore. Darn you Mo.
