  • ... yes.


    it's interesting to hear from other places.
    the farthest person i've ever talked to is my distant distant distant (i don't even know if he's even REALLY related to me) "cousin" that lives in LA.
  • Yes, same here. For me, it's usually random people I meet on MySpace or forums. So this is interesting.
  • I find it so weird that you've never been outside of America. I used to live overseas and have travelled extensively so ... yeah. I find it so hard to comprehend never leaving your own country.
  • Hmm, well, there just never seems to be time. I mean, Stephanie (eesta.. whatever) are still both in high school, so it's difficult to travel. I think I am going to visit China after I graduate, just because my parents want me to get a chance to "visit my homeland" or whatever. So that should be interesting.


    Oh yes, & I've always been kind of interested in Australia. I know nothing about the country/continent (it IS a country & a continent, right?), but it's just interesting.

    Well, now it's even more interesting when I find out God lives there. But you know what I mean.
  • my parents want to go to europe. but it's just so expensive.
    the farthest i've traveled to is hawaii and florida.
  • The farthest I've traveled is Washington, DC. I'd really like to visit Greece &/or Italy, though.
  • me too, i really want to see italy. and i want to go to brazil too.
  • I'm finally going to bed. 'Niiiight, everyone.
  • hmm.. farthest north I've been is Nova Scotia.
    I've also been to Quebec City.

    so technically Ive been out of the country, but it's just Canada, so it doens't really count that much.

    umm... I've been to Tennesee and Florida, but Fl. was just Disney World so that doesn't really count either.

    those are the farthest away I've been.
  • I've never left the east coast. I just moved to Canada from the states. I needed something different and I was tired of living in the same place (except for college, I have never moved).


    Radom: this is my favorite lyric in a song EVER. I think it's the most touching thing:
    "Doesn't matter what you look like. Doesn't matter what you sound like. Doesn't matter if they like you just remember to be kind and tell someone you miss them, and tell someone you need them, and tell someone you wish you could be with them all the time. Sounds silly, but it's not a game, making music makes me sane. I sing away my pain and everything turns out OK. Now I'm not talking fame and glory, 'cause that's a different story, the story is about how truth and love can save the day."

    yeah, I've never moved either.

    and who/where is that from? cause I like it alot...

    my favorite song lyric(s) are from a Willy Mason song, Oxygen.

    I wanna be better than oxygen
    So you can breathe when you're drowning and weak in the knees
    I wanna speak louder than Ritalin
    For all the children who think that they've got a disease
    I wanna be cooler than t.v.
    For all the kids that are wondering what they are going to be
    We can be stronger than bombs
    If you're singing along and you know that you really believe
    We can be richer than industry
    As long as we know that there's things that we don't really need
    We can speak louder than ignorance
    Cause we speak in silence every time our eyes meet.

    On and on, and on, and on it goes
    The world it just keeps spinning
    Until i'm dizzy, time to breathe
    So close my eyes and start again anew.

    I wanna see through all the lies of society
    To the reality, happiness is at stake
    I wanna hold up my head with dignity
    Proud of a life where to give means more than to take
    I wan't to live beyond the modern mentality
    Where paper is all that you're really taught to create
    Do you remember the forgotten america?
    Justice, equality, freedom to every race?
    Just need to get past all the lies and hypocrisy
    Make up an heir to the truth behind every face
    That look around to all the people you see,
    How many of them are happy and free?
    I know it sounds like a dream
    But it's the only thing that can get me to sleep at night
    I know it's hard to believe
    But it's easy to see that something here isn't right
    I know the future looks dark
    But it's there that the kids of today must carry the light.

    On and on, and on, and on it goes
    The world it just keeps spinning
    Until i'm dizzy, time to breathe
    So close my eyes and start again anew.

    If i'm afraid to catch a dream
    I weave your baskets and i'll float them down the river stream
    Each one i weave with words i speak to carry love to your relief.

    I wanna be better than oxygen

    sorry that's so long, but I love the whole song to death.

    Kimya Dawson's "Singing Machine." I am so obsessed. Honestly, her lyrics, I think, are the most beautifully written things.

    Some more I like:
    "You don't have to end up with people who self-distruct. Go find a lover who will never leave. Fear of abandonment, self-hate, and discontent will go away when you let yourself grieve."

    "I musn't forget when I see the sun set that tomorrow it will rise again. So I tattoo instructions on my ass saying, "don't ever put this body in a casket. Burn it and put the ashes in a basket, and throw them in the sound. I don't ever want to be underground."

    "rock and roll is fun but if you ever hear someone
    say you are huge look at the moon, look at the stars, look at the sun
    look at the ocean and the desert and the mountains and the sky
    say i am just a speck of dust inside a giant's eye
    i am just a speck of dust inside a giant's eye"
  • I know this is way too OK Go, but every time I hear 'Let It Rain', my heart just breaks. I think I saw that video, OK Go on 'Oh No' & seeing Damian sing it oh-so-delicately makes me melt.


    ARGH, I hate (but secretly love) when music makes you do that.
  • Too much mass debating will make you go blind
  • I REALLY HATE WHEN TEACHERS GIVE YOU VAGUE ESSAY PROMPTS.


    MAKES ME MADMADMAD.

    BELIEVE ME. I KNOW.

    I'm currently trying to write essays on the books I had to read for history- one is about Aaron Burr, the other about 1968.

    my assignment: write a review, two-three pages long. try not to rehash the plot, but instead relate something of the issues and themes involved, the people, and how you have gained a better understanding of the time period concerned.
    ...
    what am I supposed to write about?
    eh, I'll probably end up b.s.ing it tuesday night.
    whatever.


    edit: I feel like I'm hyperventilating right now, even though I haven't really changed. my heart is pounding really hard. its kinda odd, cause other than that I still feel perfectly calm.
    anyways, Oh No is number two on iTunes' top ten albums.... I'm way freaking out. way.
  • Wow. Oh well. Atleast I got to meet them already hah!

    Theyre not in the UK top ten at all (hah i just checked lol) so yeah. No need to panic over here!
  • =( lucky.

    I really hope all this hype dies down soon. I mean, its great for the boys, but if they continue to be #1 everywhere then everything will change...
  • Summer homework kills me. It really does.


    On a lighter note, however -- I am almost done. smile.gif
  • *coughcough*

    um... yeah, me too.

    no, I would be though if I hadn't come down with a case of writer's block this evening.
