I Promise I Don't Usually Post This Often

I just found out that I have a follower.  (Sadly) this is possibly one of the happiest moments of my life.  I have been writing for mainly my English teacher, Erin.  She is my biggest pan, or so she says.  Today, however, my life has changed.  Today I have a follower.  Excitment excitment.


This is the guitar that I want, mainly because it is a Les Paul and I love the way that they feel.  And I think that the wood is beautiful.  It's the Boneyard, the second of Joe Perry's two custom Les Pauls (that are sold).  There is also a Gibson Les Paul Classic that is owned by a man that I greatly admire.  He lets me play it and I absolutely adore it.  It look like this:

Aerosmith CDs and Vinyl

I gotta say, I love music.  Sixties, seventies, and eighties.  They are my favourite.  Aerosmith to be more specific.  The Stones come in a close second.  How about I show you all of the Aerosmith CDs that I have in chronological order.

1975

This is a very good album.  I love 'No More No More' aloing with many others off of that album.

1976

Again, excellent album, I think that I may like it more than Toys.  No, I'm not sure.  Close tie.  'Nobody's Fault' is a great song.  So is 'Rats in the Cellar' 'Sick as a Dog' 'Combination' and 'Lick and a Promise.'

1977

Good album, I like 'I Wanna Know Why' and 'Critical Mass.'  'Kings and Queens' is also a cool song.

1985

Gotta say I loved this album.  It was intended to be their comeback album, even though Permanent Vacation ended up being just that.  They were sober, no more cocaine (hence the title..).  I like 'The Reason a Dog' "Gypsy Boots' 'The Hop' and 'Darkness' the most out of the songs.

1987

Man, what can I say about this album?  Loved most of the songs on it.  'Permanent Vacation' is one of my favorite songs by them.  'Magic Touch' was also excellent.  I really enjoyed 'Simoriah' and  'Rag Doll' as well.

1989

Let's see... 'My Girl' 'Don't Get Mad Get Even' 'Hoodoo/Voodoo Medicine Man' (of course 'Janies Got a Gun,' Steven Tyler said that it was the hardest song he's ever had to write) and 'Monkey on my Back.'  I loved the entire album, really.  Same goes for all of them.

1993

Sadly this was the last Geffen album.  I can't even begin to list the songs off of this album that I loved.  'Flesh' is one of my favourites, though.  'Eat the Rich' was also one.  I thoroughly enjoyed just about every single song on this album.

1997

This album has an alternative cover.  I bought two copies of this CD so that I could get the original (the one above).

This is actually the alternative cover.  I really liked this CD.  Love too many songs to list.  'Taste of India' 'Pink' (of course) 'Crash' 'Full Circle' and many others.

2001

At this point Aerosmith is still doing very well.  'Jaded' is my favourite off of this album.  'Just Push Play' was (and still is) great too.

2005

Love Steven Tyler on the cover.  It is a two-disc greatest hits album.  I bought this while I was camping.  Well, during the camping trip.  I'm still not sure what's on his head..

1972-2006

A best-of album.  Loved 'Sedona Sunrise' and 'Devil's Got a New Disguise.' 'Mama Kin' is always a favourite of mine.

Now on to the vinyl.


1973

Their very first album, although this is not the first edition of it.  'Mama Kin' 'Dream on' 'Walkin' the Dog' (which was put on as 'Walkin' the Dig' on accident on the first edition) and 'Movin Out' were my favourites off of this album.

1975

Same goes for vinyl as with CDs.

1976

Again, same as with the CD.

1977

Need I repeat myself?

1979

Simply wonderful album.  I can't find it in any stores or on iTunes.  'No Surprise' 'Cheese Cake' 'Remember (Walkin' in the Sand)' and 'Mia' are the ones that I like the most.  A really good album that not many people that I talk to have heard of.

1982

Joe Perry had quit the band at this point.  Jimmy Crespo, who would later commit carreer suicide to bring Joe Perry back, was the lead guitarist for this album.  Haven't really listened to it much mainly because Joe Perry wasn't on it.

1985

Again with the CD.


So you see, I love Aerosmith.  They have great songs.  Wicked awesome.

How I Ruined The Night For At Least 70 Worms

It had rained and I had a flashlight.  Hello worms, here I come.  If you go out at night after it rained that day (unless it is in the winter, of course) with a flashlight, you will see worms.  They come out of their little worm holes and parade around (with their bodies sticking halfway out of the holes still) and go back into their holes faster than I could have ever imagined a worm moving when the light gets on them.

You see that?  That's two worms having sex.  Sex.  In my lawn!  I broke those little bastards up.  I'll be having none of that while I'm around!  One freaked out and the other was a little bit sad.  I shined the light on the sad one and it freaked out too. Good.  Serves them right.

Well anyways, I tramped around my back yard for a good fifteen minutes with that flash light.  They were pretty pissed at what I did.  Light?  Whoever's heard of such a blasphemous act.

Why Summer Is Moronic

    There is nothing to do.  I usually get into a lot of trouble.  My friend is moving.  Really, summer is against us.  It is not preparing us as students for the future in the 'adult' world.  Adults, unless of course they are teachers, do not get summers off.  They get vacations.  Not two months off of work, but perhaps two weeks.  Summer does not help to get prepared for future.
     Last night I went to my friends house and watched a movie with my other friend.  Before that, however, we went to the store to get something to eat.  One friend got a Monster, I got the other type, and the third person got nothing.  I also got a box of the Safeway brand of Egos.  I ate the entire box.  Frozen.  I ended up not finishing the Monster so I put it in my fridge over night and I am currently drinking it in the stead of coffee.

     Oh, I got a Kindle from my dad.  He told me that it was for passing geometry class.  I have If I Were King, The New England Primer (1777), Who Can be Happy and Free in Russia?, Decision Points, and Last of the Breed.  I am sure there is more, like the books that me mum put on her Kindle (most of the books on my Kindle were books that one of my parents put on theirs) but I am reading Last of the Breed and Who Can Be Happy and Free in Russia?.  The only books that I got from amazon.com are the one about Russia and If I Were King.  I heard about If I Were King from the book A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, a book that I read a few years ago. 

I have a blind kitty.  Her name is Lilly, but my sister and I call her Blind Kitty.

I Am Devistated

I love school.  I love the teachers that I had.  Three of them were my friends.  Or so I would like to imagine.  I liked them a lot more than most of the kids in my age group.  Well, I can pretend, can't I?  It's a lonely lonely world out there, and I think that they're really cool, alright?  Now quit focusing on my lack of friends and go be productive.  Just kidding.  Please keep reading about how I lack friends.  It keeps me motivated to write these posts.  Think about it:  if I had a social life, I probably wouldn't have a lot of time to write these!  Hmmm... what ever happened to Allie Brosh?  She seems to have gone missing.  Should we be worried?  Should we call a search party?  No.  Because she is a big girl now.  She wears big girl underwear.

You know what's cool?  Nordic mythology.  And vikings.  And this painting that I found down town.


Totally awesome.  I couldn't just leave it hanging on the side of what appeared to be a meth lab.  Oh no.  Not this baby.  I put it in the back of my friends car and we drove away.  We wandered around town (meaning we headed towards Skyline and went to the zip line park).  We were roamers of the night.  As Billy Squier said, "lonely is the night."  We went to her boat.  Watched the Pink Panther 2.  Chilled, you know the drill.  Then we drove past the hospital and saw that the sprinklers were on for the grass next to the sidewalk.  Oh dear...  My mother was concerned when I came home around 12:30am and was soaking wet. "(astonished and slightly livid expression)." "Oh, just a quick run through some sprinklers, no need to panic."  And then off to my room with my loot (my painting).

It was created in 1974-78.  It took four years, evidently.  Love it.  My mom didn't want me to keep it because it talked about Hamingja on the back and she was worried that that was what the painting was about.  Which it is, of course.  But it is awesome.  So I will keep it.

Yes, Yes I Can.

Can I make a post with just a bunch of pictures of Steven Tyler?

I really like this picture.

What kind of a question was thaaat.

And this one too.

Well look at that.  I seem to have done it.

Laundry..

I'm just hangin out, listening to Steven Tyler, waitin, you know.  Laundry must be put in the dryer before I fall asleep.  My physical therapist is going to be super pissy tomorrow.  I mean today.  The last time that I went in I was really tired (I had stayed up until 2:30am the night before) and he told me to get some good sleep in before I came in next time so that I would have more energy.  Well screw you, physical therapist!  Why didn't you become a real doctor, huh?  Maybe then I'd get all the bloody sleep you told me to get!  Well guess what, mister!  You aren't a real doctor like I'm talking about.  So I won't go to sleep at a decent hour!  Take that!

Someone Famous Replied to My Email

That's right.  My stomache had butterflies in it when I went to find a picture message that I had sent to my email.  What was in my inbox would make me happy beyond words.  Becky of Steamme Upkid replied to an email of mine.  She is the coolest person ever.  She is so funny, I just can't believe someone that cool would reply to an email from me!  Man, this is just great.  You have no idea how much this means to me.  Seriously.  I love her game of Hide Juanita.  If only I had a Juanita to hide..  But alas, I have a Penny.  Who is massive in comparison.  Which is funny because she is a small-ish golden retriever.  And bright red.  ENOUGH ABOUT MY DOG.  Back to Becky!  She has 2011 followers.  Which is funny.  The year 2011, 2011 followers.. yeah..  Anyways..  Read this (click on that this, but not this this).  So yeah, I'm on cloud nine.  They should really change that name, I would be miserable if I was on a cloud, let alone the ninth one.  What if they aren't stable?  What if i fall and die just because I was really happy?  These are all things that we all must consider.  Why not call it "The place that I go to if I'm so happy I might explode"?

Teachers Are Stressful

I think I might have to go into regular English next year...  I was supposed to turn in a paper today but I was trying to find my math teacher to take a test* and I forgot to turn in the paper.  I had even finished the paper.  I am so... just so upset about this; I don't know how I could have forgotten to turn that paper in.  I had the hardest time writing it.  It made me very angry at times.  I still don't know how to catigorize sentences.  I suck at this.  Woo.  Go team.  Sure, there is no "I" in "team," but there IS a "me" (if you rearrange the letters).  But that's not what I need right now.  I need ideas as to how I can make that up in the last day of school.  Which is impossible.  I don't know if today was the last day to turn in stuff or if that is to-morrow.  Anyways, I am completely distraught and I don't know what to do.


*My math teacher told me that I could go to his class room after school to take a test yesterday (I need to take that test to pass the class) but when I went to his class to take the test, he wasn't there.  The same thing happened today; my teacher was helping the seniors out with graduation and had a substitute teacher in his stead.  He did not go to his class room after school (nor for the 30 minutes after school that I waited while doing other work) and now I will most likely fail the class.  I am blaming him on this one.

Again

I was going to ask if I could just say something, but this is my blog and I'm the head honcho here.  So I am going to "just say something."  Erin-you are so awesome.  I just wanted to briefly go over that point again.  You are seriously so cool.  You crack me up.  You can have some pretty corny jokes though.  I love 'em, don't get me wrong, but the corny-ness of them just makes them even more hilarious.  So yeah, that's that.

Penguin!

So I started off with a piece of wood...

And my knife.

This part is where cuts number one and two came in.

And a dream.  But not really.  I just wanted to make something for Jenna.  As a thank-you, in a way.  I think she's really cool.  There are so many people that think that she's so cool (and she totally knows it, too) and I know that I'm no different.  May I just clarify something?  I think she's cool, but I also think that she is an interesting person.  She is kind.  Funny.  Honest.  All of those things are all very good qualities in a person.  She's great.  Sorry about that, back to the story.

Then I made a dent in the wood.

Awesome, right?  Well, six hours later, I had a penguin.

For the beak I carved it out of a piece of wood that I had cut off of the back of the penguin.  I had to carve out a small rectangular chunk out of the penguin's face.  This is where cuts number three and four came in, all on my hands except for the one where I stabbed myself in the leg on accident..

Then I had to make the beak the same size as the base of the beak and put wood glue in the hole and then I put the beak in.  It was a tight fit (which was the way that I had planned it; I had to make sure that the beak stayed in) and I let it dry for a few hours.

Then came the darker stain.

This is where cut number five came in.  I was trying to cut the dark stain off of the top of the penguin's foot.  I was cutting the top of the left foot.  I was being too firm with the knife and it slipped.  I could see my bone.  My bone.  It was the weirdest thing ever.  It didn't really hurt all that much, but.. Man, it was sure weird.  I cut right next to my middle knuckle on my index finger on my left hand.  It was by far the worst cut that I recieved from this project.  Pretty worth it I'd say.  I just hope she likes it..

The final project.  I had to re-cut eyes because I knocked one of them off and I couldn't find it.  I was pretty mad about that because it was wicked hard to make the eyes, let alone make them evenly sized.  I didn't.  The right eye (when you're looking at it from the front) is slightly taller than the left eye.

A total of over eight hours on this project.  I really had a lot of fun making this.  I'm glad that Jenna doesn't read my blog, or else this wouldn't be a surprise!

Why Am I Awake?!

Because I can't fall asleep/  I shall now proceed to play Pokemon until I can.

With one of these.  Ponyta.  Which evolves at level 40 into a Rapidash.  I was livid when I first got a Ponyta a few years ago, only because of how long it took them to evolve.  That and how lame the evolution looked from behind in Pokémon Pearl.  From all other angles they're wicked cool, but they look rediculous when you're battling with them!

My New Project

I have a new project.  One that would mean a lot to me if I could complete it (and have it look at least halfway decent).  I am making something for Jenna.  Hopefully I make it pretty enough to give to her.  I don't want to give her something that looks like rubbish.  She's too good for that.  If I can't get this right then it will just go with all of the other stuff that I've tried making for her and failed at making them good enough.  I sound creepy, don't I?  Oh well, I think she's a really cool and interesting person.  Someone like that deserves something made well.  I've only cut myself twice three four five times so far (which is good ok kind of annoying) and I am hoping to keep the nicks and cuts down to a minimum.  This is a potentially dangerous and life-threatening project with my clumsiness.  The size of the project is about three inches tall and roughly one inch wide /long.  I really hope she likes it..  Anyways, I finished the project after about five hours of work and it looks terrible but I think that it is ok enough to give to her.
      It's the thought that counts?  Usually, but I was really hoping to give her something nice for a change.  I'm always giving people crappy things that I drew or made.  Who do I think I am, Leonardo da Vinci?  No.  I am not him.  I wish that I had his talent though, because maybe then she would like what I made her.  Which she won't.  Because it sucks.  I'm watching How I Met Your Mother.  Which is making me think about having kids.  I don't want kids.  Remember the last time I talked about that?  I think we all do...  Children are potentially lethal, both physically and mentally.  Lincon is really cute though.  He makes it seem like it would be almost.. worth it.  So I deleted about half of this post after what I put on here last night.  And thank God, because it was simply odious.  Much like the New York Yankees.  It's hilarious, really.  I'll put on pictures of the penguin, and since Jenna doesn't read my blog, I'm good to go.

Steven Tyler II

I love him.

Friends

    Friends is my all time favorite show. I have seen ever single episode. Thrice. My sister has the complete series on DVD and when we hang out at her house, we watch them. More than half of the references that we make are Friends references. For instance, "Oh I'm sorry; did my back hurt your knife?" or ( Joey) "'What the hell does a paleontologist need a beeper for? ' (Monica) 'Is it, like, for dinosaur emergencies? Help! Come quick, they're still extinct!'" Oh my… We talk about Phoebe and Rachel and all of them like they're real people.  I kind of like it.  I mean, really, how many people talk about characters in a television show that are fictitious as if they were real?  Well... alright, so there's a lot of people that do that, but I really like the show.  If I were a character on the show I have been told (by many many people) that I would be Phoebe.  Animal lover, vegitarian, completely insane.  Oh yeah.  I'm diggin it.

Who Do I Love?

C'mon, that's an easy one.  You all should get this question, it's a freebie.  I love Steven Tyler.  I absolutely adore him.  If you have ever talked to me, I would have more than likely brought him, Aerosmith, Joe Perry, Joe Perry's custom Gibson Les Paul, or Steven Tyler's custom harp.  There is a 99 per-cent chance that I have brought him up at one point in one of our conversations.  I have brought up Steven Tyler in every single one of my classes.  Twice.  At least.  In English and U.S. History--four times minimum.  Gotta love him.

I love him.

Dog

Long ago was much unknown to we who live this time
Ever more we search and yet nothing is found in the grime
Kings and qqueens and knights alike were the best of their days
The nobles of the land are now in Deaths masterful haze
The lowely serfs work the ground, ever longing for a better light
Yet they get nothing better even in their dying days their plight-
It remains the same
They were men alike, now dead alike, nothing is their aim
They had their thoughts, and that is all
They had to crawl
Just to kiss the feet of the king
But what joy did he bring?
They were heros, riding their horsed into battle
The ground may rattle
But by the pounding of their hoof
Everything now, to the king, does it ever prove
Their spirits ignite, their sould aflame
They were men alike, now dead alike, now who's to blame?

Pirates are Badass

How do you guys feel about Pirates?  There's always (but not really) been the whole Pirates-vs-ninjas debate.  I am obviously on the pirate side.  One earring, bandana, always telling people that I love pirates, the list goes on and on (but not really).  I used to want to be a pirate.  I still do, don't get me wrong, but they're a lot easier to catch nowadays, what with helicopters and aeroplanes and whatnot.  Bollocks.  I really like how they were portrayed in history and movies.  As in their clothing; it reminded me of gypsies.  Which I also love.  Pirates drink scotch and rum and all that good stuff.  They eat meat.  They do whatever the eff they want, whenever the eff they want.

...and they have this guy.  Look at how beautiful he is.

If you're all for pirates (versus ninjas, which are gay) let me know!  Write about it in the comment section!

You Win

Erin, this is for you.
 I am only writing because of you.  I would, however, like it if you kept giving me a song of the day.  That was a wonderful thing for you to do and I cannot express my joy at recieving that song.  I know it sounds cheesy, but thank you.  I have given up all hope on finding my Gibson pin and I put it in Gods hands.  Please, I would love it back.
     So you know how ini movies when it was quiet there were crickets?  Well now they're car alarms; what the hell, society?  Replacing an awesome animal that can practically play the violin with a man-made ring tone for burglers.  I don't get it.  Well, the times, they are a changin'.  Speaking of change, I collect coins from 1989 and before.  I have a lot of them.  I find it difficult to get enough change (change from 1990 to present) to be able to buy anything.  Especially since everything is wicked expensive.  Like bikes.  I need to get one.  I will tell the story of the broken bike another day.  It's a good one.  Kind of.  I think.  Whatever.  Anyways, I want an old 10-speed bike.  Like, used.  And a lot less expensive.  So I can pay for it in change.
