Friends

I stumbled across this guy named  Derek Wood's Flickr by accident and I really enjoyed his photography so maybe you will too. It's fun to see how a photographer progresses and improves when going through their photostream -- for me, anyway.

( IGNORE THIS LJ-CUT IF YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT THE DREAM I HAD LAST NIGHT )

So last night I bought my boyfriend something (can't say what because he'll probably read this) online for Christmas and it literally took me like five days to actually buy it because it was like fifty dollars and it PHYSICALLY HURTS ME to buy things. Yep. This is why I'll have to be a billionaire when I grow up.

My mom wants me to give my brother $100 for Christmas (and she'll give him money too) so he can buy parts for a new computer. One hundred...dollars.....Yeahhhhhhhhhh, I was thinking more along the lines of under thirty...five...dollars... She's like trying to get at least four hundred dollars together so that he can buy computer parts. WHAT ABOUT ME? WHO'S GATHERING MONEY FOR ME? WHAT ABOUT THAT CAMERA I'VE WANTED FOR THREE YEARS? WHERE'S MY FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS? Of course, I can't say that because we're POOR and my brother helps pay for bills because he makes like twenty dollars and hour and I barely work ever and I'm greedy and try to make my money last as long as it can. I have like $360 in my bank account that has to last me till the end of February and it'll probably be down to 200 after I'm done with buying *shudders* Christmas gifts. Not that I didn't help out with money occasionally when I worked at Walgreens and had a paycheck every two weeks but my mom CONVENIENTLY fails to remember.

My mom has been getting little things for my cousin, Wendy, because she's like ten times more poor than us. Even though every time she sees her dad (her parents are divorced) he gives her like 200 dollars. ANYWAY, my mom was like, "0o0o0o0 why don't you get her that Twilight book. She said she wanted that." We were at Walmart and my mom wanted me to BUY the book right then and there and I lied and said it was cheaper at Barnes & Noble (it's not cheaper at B&N).

Let's hope that when I loot the Twilight book this curse (of uncertain origin) is not bestowed upon me: "For him that stealeth a book from this library, let it change into a serpent in his hand and rend him. Let him be struck by palsy and all his members blasted. Let him languish in pain, crying aloud for mercy and let there be no surcease to his agony till he sink to dissolution. Let bookworms gnaw his entrails in token of the Worm that dieth not and when at last he goeth to his Final Punishment, let the flames of Hell consume him for ever and aye."

Hmmmm. In more exciting news, remember my knife that I lost? If you don't, I'll quickly retell the short version of the story. I was in Logan Square, this boy named Cameron sat next to me on the bench I was sitting on. We talked. He let me browse the artists on his iPod. I aproved. I went over to his apartment with his friend who seemed like she had done a little to many hallucinogens. Fastforward a few weeks. I'm at his apartment again. I tell him I've always wanted a knife. He runs into a room and brings out a suitcase, opens it and reveals all kinds of knives ROFL. I take out this knife that is MORE THAN I COULD EVER WANT and he lets me play with it and even tells me I can borrow it. Tells me that it was his uncle's. I lose touch with Cameron and I lose the knife once but find it in my mother's glove compartment. I lose it a second time and I never find it again. T_T

SO! I was searching the web and THIS RIGHT HERE (fastforward a little) is the exact knife I used to have. I was talking to my sort of friend who's kind of a huge faggot and talks about getting stoned and how much he used to party a lot, Marty, online and he said that his friend has a bunch of knives like that and that he'd talk to him today and see if he was up for selling one or just telling me where he got them. They're pretty easy to find at markets, buttttttt I haven't seen any markets around.

I'm sure if my mom read my Livejournal this is probably an entry I wouldn't want her to read (Well, I wouldn't want her to read any of my entries).

BTW EVERYONE NEEDS TO WATCH THIS YOUTUBE RIGHT NOW OH MY GOD IT'S SO GOOD.

Especially the line, "Glamour Kills won't sponsor us so All Time Low won't tour with us." *wipes tear* Genius.

P.S. Does anyone have the new Paramore album? I've only found it on torrent websites and I haven't redownloaded the uTorrent program yet. This would probably take me a total of seven minutes to do so but I'm pretty lazy. I'll enable comments if you've got it and are willing to send it :D ?? WINDOWS 7 ROCKS BTW.

P.P.S. I could probably make this, so why am I contemplating buying it?

Yesterday after my Q Research thing (the chewing gum for money thing) my brother dragged me to this computer parts store and we ended up buying everything I need for my computer to be up and running again. I was reluctant to enter the store (because I wanted to go home and shoplift at the mall) until I saw this lady DRESSED IN A COW SUIT. I SWEAR TO GOD, I DOUBLE CHECKED TO MAKE SURE IT WASN'T OCTOBER. THIS LADY WAS IN FULL COW SUIT. I tried to get my brother to pull the car up to the curb so I could take a picture of her on my phone but he refused. When I rushed inside I left my brother to browse and circled the store like three times in search of this cow. I almost stopped to ask people if they had seen a cow walking around. I saw some other lady who was wearing this coat that KIND OF looked like it had a cow print on it, but she wasn't what I was looking for. It is possible that maybe that lady was who I saw before since I didn't have my contacts in but my brother saw her too so, idk. Anyway, after I had given up I walked back to my brother with my head hung low. There was, however, this other guy there that had long brown hair down to his waist. He had a beard and was wearing really baggy pants with chains LOL and had Mountain Dew Game Fuel in his back pocket. He was awesome. It is probable that he worships the devil.

So, is it just me or does Cake Boss kind of suck? Like, maybe not the show but a lot of the actual cakes. Compared to Ace of Cakes some of their cakes are kindaaaaaaa shitty... I don't know if any of you watch it but some of the cakes they make are questionable. Especially when they make a cake that requires them to replicate water and they use that fucking like ugly watery SHIT that they use. I'm being pretty vague but I don't know what that substance is called. Whatever, it's some kind of spread. THE POINT IS, it looks ugly. The last episode I saw they had to make this cake with all the planets on it and it was like, ROFL I DON'T EVEN... It was just so ugly. I think they used the same substance they use to replicate water on all the planets. I think he / they should just stick to traditional cakes. Those seem to turn out pretty sweet. LOL I just image googled Cake Boss to try and find some of the shitty cakes I've seen and found this. Since all the images are of good cakes that'll have to suffice for now.

Why am I so compelled to not only download but BUY both Twilight soundtracks? I'm such an embarrassing person. My boss, Carol, has Twilight ring tones for her phone. There's this lady that sits next to Carol in the office and I always wondered what her job title was exactly and when she was missing from work for two days I found out that she's the "room person" and takes care of things when Carol isn't in the office. She basically just picks up the phone and sits there. Anyhow, when she was gone for two days, Carol promoted me to room person and all we did was talk about Twilight in depth. We analyzed critic reviews and talked about all the actors. I got paid to sit in a big comfy chair, eat snacks and talk about Twilight for two days. She even had a heater under the desk that kept us nice and toasty. Awesome.

OH, and I JUST fucking heard about Midnight Sun, the book that is pretty much Twilight only in Edward's point of view. I am so excited to read it I can barely contain myself. I almost want to reread Twilight and then read the leaked chapters of Midnight Sun. I read somewhere that Stephanie Meyer confirmed that she was going to continue writing MS (because she had said on her website that she wasn't sure whether to continue writing it because she was pist*~ that it leaked and she was busy being mad and being a faggot and such) and that it was rumored to be released in the spring. If that was the case I would most definitely wait it out, but since it's not a sure thing I think I'll go ahead and read what's been leaked.
