hey guyses :)

Sooooo... I know I haven't posted for a while.  It's not that I don't like to, or I'm just being a stupid head, or as SL's lil' sis would call me, an 'icky pants', I've just been very busy. 

Sorta.  

So the last time y'all heard from me I was psyched 'bout the All Time Low concert that I was going to go to on my birthday.  Okay, you know what?  I don't like this color.  

Mkay, so.  Here I am again.  So the last time I was ranting about something on here, it was the All Time Low concert on the 18th of July.  Thas ma birthday.  :D

I went.  I don't want to share details.  I know that's mean.  Really, I do.  I'm just not in a sharing mood.  Sue me.  It's also 'cause the last time I tried to share and post pics, it wouldn't let me, and 2 hours of work went out the window.  NOT happening again.  

So I'll say this---- it was great.  Amazing.  Spectacular.  Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.  Whatever translates into "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" in normal english.  So the first band was Amely. Great.  Cover of The Climb by Miley actually made it sound okay.  That's OK, people.  Nothing written by Miley could ever ever ever a million times ever make its way into my heart. Ever.  Thats a million and four.  So.  Next was Days Difference, my new obsession.  I <3>

"And I'm standing in the grass

Watching people pass

Wishing you were by my side

ANd I want to hear you say

That it will be okay

Life is still worth living"

Beautiful

So

Next was Cartel.  I didn't hear them that well, it was super loud and I was still drooling over Days Difference.  But lots o crowd surfing, that's what I remember. 

Then ATL.  Again, the adjectives above are relevant.  

Pictures with people. Lotsa people.  Signed shirt.  'Nuff said.

So you may be wondering why I am so pissed off.  Or not happy.  Whatever.  

I am currently kind of mad.  For one, a special person named Kian is being mean (this is not who you think it is).  And I want to give him a serious Gibbs slap.  To make matters worse, Rosie is not being very friendly (I don't want to go into details, but unfriendly is a very nice way of putting it).  My dad is talking about "hot dates with the babe" which translates to "ima go out to eat with Margaret and give her a hickey".  EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.  Period.  That's just disgusting.  My creativity is failing.  I try to write prose, and it sucks.  I can write the lyrics, but the music is failing dismally.  helllpppppppp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  If I can't go back to prose after a long day of screaming at my keyboard, what am I going to do?!  I'll tell ya what I did today.  I youtubed.  It is sad my life has come to youtubing on weekdays.  106 videos in one day.  That's a lot of videos.  So yeah.  You got any help on melodies and crap, help me out, or if ya have any ideas for prose help me out there too.  "'Cause I'm going crazy, I'm stuck in here."    Really.  So anyway, that's that for today.  Here's some great song quotes for you: 

"But you take it

You forget

I know, I know I'm losing it

'Cause you waste it 

I regret the time and moment we met 

Get out of my head, radio song 

Get out of my head, radio song 

Lets pretend that this never happened"

"I'm floating in the sky

You're like a parachute

You open up my eyes

Everything I see is blue

I-I-I

I'm falling into you

I-I-I

I'm falling into you

I-I-I

I know I'm meant for you

'Cause I-I-I

I'm falling into you

I'm on a carousel

And I'm not looking down

I'm underneath your spell

Everything is spinning round

You're like a waterfall

It's just the way you move

You're breaking down my wall

And the river's pouring through"

"If nothing's wrong, nothing's right

It's unexplainable

This is where we crash and burn

Between two parallels"

"I'm not sorry

no I'm not sorry

no I'm not sorry 

For all my imperfections"

So there.  Those are all Days Difference songs. I apologize for the lack of diversity, but I can't help it.  

Love Kinda Sorta Mostly,

Southern Hospitality

Hey Y'all!!!!!!!!

yeah right.

Uhm, so. Today is not such a good day. I am now in Nashville / Springfield, TN. With my cousins and grandparents and uncles.

So the days started out with this party thing. I get there, I say hi, none of the kids are there 'cause they're at my cousin Gabe's party, at the Nashville Sounds' baseball game. So I didn't want to go, because naturally, if I was 16, I wouldn't want my 13 year old cousin being there to screw it up. So I thought, no problem, I won't go. But my aunt convinced me that none of my other cousins (who were invited) were havin' a good time. So I went. As soon as I got there, my cousins make fun of my haircut and call me emo. Wonderful.

After that I decided to let them say whatever they wanted. Then we went home, and I had to sleep at Brady, my first girl cousin and sister of Gabe, and Gabe's house. The entire time it was hell.

Woke up. Uncle Dave said they were going to church.
If you don't know me, than I shall explain. I am deathly afraid of churches. Not even kidding. Well, not afraid. Just really uncomfortable. REALLY. UNCOMFORTABLE. So I called my dad, and he was going to come pick me up. Brady got mad because she didn't want to leave with me, but if she didn't, she would have to go to church. So she came and told me later that it was a complete waste of time and that it was stupid.

So then we went back for a party at her house, with Gabe and Brendan (my other guy cousin my age). It was my birthday party celebration, and it was fun, except that then we left for Brendan's other grandmother's mansion.

Essentially what happened was:
I got called a copy cat with no mind of my own
I got yelled at for not having my phone charger so that they could use it to prank call people
I was forced to listen to them (Brady and Brendan) talk about the people at their school for the entire night
When we left, I was forced to sit in the way back
When I asked if I could go home instead of going to another place with all of them and Brendan's friend, I was ridiculed
Brady asked if I wanted her to stay with me there
I said no
She was all "why aren't you going to hang with us"

MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE EVERY TIME I COME HERE, IT'S THE SAME THING. I MAKE AN EFFORT, AND ALL THEY DO IS MAKE FUN OF ME AND TELL ME WHAT I'M DOING WRONG. ALL THE FRIGGIN TIME. I GET QUESTIONED REPEATEDLY, AND NONE OF THEM HAVE ANY RESPECT WHATSOEVER FOR MY BELIEFS. IT'S. NOT. FAIR.
sorry
had to get that out.
it's just I don't get to see them that often, and every time I do, it's like everything goes wrong and I really just want to bludgeon them with a baseball bat. NOT REALLY. But you know, it does get annoying.

Here's my cousin description:
Nadia- Sweet, little girl who is nice and stuff. Brendan's sis. Don't know her too well.
Gabe- Nice, artsy older cousin. Treats me decently. Laid back.
Brendan- Sarcastic, okay in terms of niceness, can eat anything he wants without getting fat
Brady- cheerleader, preppy, bitchy, doesn't let anyone do what they want, always get's her way no matter what, just plain old mean and the kind of person that looks down on anything but AE and hollister.

SAVE ME!

I swear, any of you nice people out there, come rescue me. 'Cause I need it.
"F*** you,
F*** you very, very much"

Sorry. No time for too many lyrics today. GAH. Maybe I'll post more later, but not when I'm rushing to go out to dinner. Luv yas!
Distressed, Ready to Leave,

Revolutionary Road

"Hello Brooklyn, Hey LA!"

Haha, what's up guys? As I mentioned in the last post, I am super excited for ATL's new album, Nothing Personal. It was AMAZING. BEAUTIFUL. STUNNING. I loved it :)

Some of their songs I'm still a bit skeptical about, for example, Too Much. It's different than what I'm used to, but still "them" nonetheless. I find myself listening to it more and more each day.

Another band I am fond of at this moment is Mayday Parade. Their song "Black Cat", on the album A Lesson in Romantics, is quite catchy and has meaning as well. I'll leave you to figure out the lyrics, and what they mean to you. I am also in love with the song "I'd Hate to Be You when People Find Out What This Song is About", and a song that I am interested in figuring out on the piano, "Miserable at Best". That is probably one of my favorite songs of the moment, a truly emotional piece that would probably make me cry if I wasn't trying to figure out the chord progressions.

"Lets not pretend like you're alone tonight
I know he's there and
you're probably hanging out and making eyes
While across the room he stares
I bet he gets the nerve to walk the floor and ask my girl to dance
She'll say yes
Because these words were ever easier
For me to say or her to second guess
But I guess
That I can live without you but
Without you I'll be miserable at best"


I would hate to have to sing that song. But it's incredible. You should listen :)

What else?

Let's see....
Well, I guess I should explain the title. It's a movie that my stepmother, Margaret, is watching right now with her brother Jay and his wife, whose name I cannot recall for practical reasons. For example, I've been dealin' with the kids this entire time. . .
but anyway.

We hit the road yesterday, which was okay, I suppose. I spent the entire day packing and stuff, in the 113 degree weather. it was HOT, man! We got to Corpus Christi last night, and I slept on the couch. Then we left today around 12 for Houstin. Gah. That was awful. I didn't really didn't do much, just listened to Mayday Parade and All Time Low, accompanied by lots of Rise Against and Muse. And Cobra Starship. But it was still torture.

For one, I hate barbicue. I tell my dad I hate it over and over again, but NOOOOOOOO. We go to a barbicue place for lunch. I didn't eat at all. He gives me the option of rich meat that will make me puke and mac and cheese in a kiddie plate. I'm currently on a hunger strike. Another part of the name of this post. Let's see what they make of it. Anyway, we finally made it, only to be whisked away to an excellent Ittalian restaurant with not one, not two, not even THREE, but FIVE SCREAMING CHILDREN. It was torture. The rest of the evening was spent avoiding getting slapped in the butt by both towels and hands, and listening to music with a tortured expression. Not to mention my parents treating me like furniture and making me hold Dean for extened periods of time while feeding him food comparable to the sewers of New York City. Either way, I'm damned. :D hahahaha
Either I'm attacked and pantsed, or I puke in the trashcan while holding my baby bro. I took my chances with Dean. Especially 'cuase there was a very not nice 14 year old boy teaching the kids this stuff. Awkard much?

So the itenerary.......
From here we're gonna go to some place that starts with an N, starting uber early tomorrow morning. Spend the night there, then drive straight to Nashville for a party, then to PA :D

I'll spend the time "livin' in the radio, lost in the stereo sound" :D

I love that song. Ugh. Only 9 more days 'till my birthday!!!!!!
I'm excited. I'm going to an ATL concert, accompanied by Rosie, Nanderz, and (perhaps if she's willing to come, for I have an extra ticket) Sally. Yes Sally, you. :D

So wish me luck! Maybe I'll get to meet my favorite band ever.
Er.....I don't know what else to include. I don't wanna go to sleep, cause that means sleeping in the boys' room. The ones that slap people on the butt. No friggin way am I steppin' foot in there!

So I guess I'll "get away, get away"

So...yeah.

"Who's ready to party?"

Lyrics:
1) Hello Brooklyn, by All Time Low
2) Miserable at best, by Mayday Parade
3)Lost in Stereo, by All Time Low
4)Sick Little Games, by All Time Low
5)Hello Brooklyn, by All Time Low

I apologize for the repetetive bands, it's just what I happened to be listening to at the moment, and I hear these things everywhere. So...G'night!

Nothing Personal <3<3

Hey guys!

Yous guys ready for THE BEST ALBUM EVER?! Naw, I don't think we are. :)
So, if you didn't realize by the title, the best album will be Nothing Personal by All Time Low. I am so excited! They sound so different....
From Three Words To Remember When Dealing in the End and The Party Scene, then being signed to Hopeless Records and coming out with Put Up or Shut Up and So Wrong, It's Right, I have really been inspired.

And yes, they are a boy band.

I don't know how, but they're different. They really are. They sound amazing live, their music is great, and their lyrics are beautiful. I really do hate it when people refuse to listen to anything but "Dear Maria, Count Me In" or "Six Feet Under the Stars". I don't know why. I guess it's just that I find their other stuff great, too.

The real fans listen to more, and understand their meanings. So many listen to their songs without realizing what they're about.

So far I'm in love with their new album. It sounds completely different, I know, and I kind of hate them for it. I love their old stuff, and weightless sounded so poppy... but I can still see them. They're changing their style, but they're still themselves. They've really grown.

And this is gonna be so bad, but I really just need to add some quotes:

"Let the good times roll,
We can let it go,
'Cause everybody knows there's a party at the end of the world" -Hello Brooklyn

This one is from Therapy, probably one of my favorites. It is so full of emotion, I guess. I don't know. Its just...wow.

"Give me therapy,
I'm a walking travesty,
But I'm smilin' and everything.
Therapy,
You were never a friend to me,
You can take back your misery.
Arrogant boy,
Love yourself so no one has to.
They're better off without you,
They're better off without you." -Therapy

It makes me cry, not even kidding. ^

"She's dancing alone,
I'm ready to go,
But she's so
Lost in the stereo,
Lost in the stereo.
Shes out of control,
So beautiful,
Lost in the stereo
Lost in the stereo." -Lost in the Stereo

"We're all a part of the same
Sick little games
And i need to get away
Get away
I'm wasting my days
I throw them away
Losing it all
On these sick little games." -Sick Little Games

So true, Alex Gaskarth, so true.

<3

Sorry. I know this was a crappy post. But ask anybody. This is all I can think about. Seeing as they are my favorite band, their new CD is out tomorrow, and I get to see them the night of my birthday :D

So, again, I am sorry that I am such a bad blogger. But my mind hasn't been on anything else.

Hope that was enough on All Time Low for you! If it wasn't, you can always call me and I'll talk to you for hours....and hours.... but you would hate that :)

Excited and All Bubbly like Bubble Tea with those Tapioca bubbly thingies in them,
Isa :)
lover of all time low
and everyone else
cuz i'm that happy right now. <3<3<3 xoxo

PS again, the band is All Time Low, the new CD is Nothing Personal. Out tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!
Bye ;)

Confused and Tired of Being Stuck

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO..............
you didn't see the last O's i guess. I'm trying to be patriotic. Sorta. You know what's funny? Where I am right now, the Texas/Mexico borderwall area........ the immigrants are so much more patriotic than anyone I've ever known up in PA, or anywhere else as a matter of fact....
I don't know.
Anyway, what's been up? Fourth of July. I guess that's great. No good way to spend it though (at least for me), because it is tooo friggin hot down here. I haven't left the house really except to get my hair cut. :D It looks awesome, by the way.

Now, on other news...
For those of you that don't know, we give codenames for people. Now, it would be very impolite to state all of them, but I'll give ya a few ;)
Mine used to be cripple. Mostly 'cause I always manage to hurt myself in one way or another. I'll give you the ones we don't particularly care about:

Isa= Marina (my new one)
Susan= Sally
Eden= Rosie
David= Joseph

Now here's the hard part. The thing is, Sally used to like this guy named Bob. Except now she doesn't. Now she likes Carl. This is annoying.

You see, everyone has their "Phillipe". Phillipe was the original dream guy. As you can see, it kind of expanded. But that's not the point. The point is, everyone has theirs. And I don't. I don't mean that the guy I like doesn't like me back. I mean that I have no guy in mind. Which is really annoying, 'cause when I get together with my friends it's "Phillipe this, Bob that, Sam this, Carl that."

So right now, here's my guy.
Gaston= ?

Gaston came from some wierdo musical or something. I don't know. My friend Shayna made him up. But that's the thing: HE'S MADE UP. And now I'm convinced that I won't ever like anybody.

Now, that was all for the benefit of one of my friends. You want the real news?

Mkay. How many people do you know drink coffee in the summer? ME! I'm drinking it right now, and if I was in my room and not in an open office, I would probably be in a super skimpy tank top and short PJ bottoms. But the coffee keeps me awake, so I guess it's all for the best. Hahaha.

Who wants to see my haircut?
You probably already did. Being my stupid self, I can't find out how to move them to the bottom :D
So bear with me.

I don't know what else to say..
hmm..
OH!!
I haven't added a quoter. Here's one of my favorites that I'e been listening to all day :D

"So whatcha gonna do
And whatcha gonna say
When we're standin' on top
And do it our way

You say we've got no future
You're living in the past
So listen up
That's our generation

Hey oh
Let's go
It's goin down tonight
Hey ho
Let's go
We're gonna do it till we die
Cause I
I've got no reason to apologize
That's my generation"
I know it's a long one, but it's the best :)
THe song is Generation by Simple Plan I think :)
Love yas!

Isa xo

Hm......

Hello Hello! I'm at a place called vertigo....

Okay, I'm sorry for my last post. That was mean :P
So i guess..On a lighter note?
I don't know. This is new to me. Today was a big fat nothing I guess. I didn't really do anything :D

Hm....question.

What's y'all's favorite drink?!
Like.... I don't know. Mine's a chai tea latte. I don't know anyone who doesn't like them. And have you heard the names some of those things have? It would take me ten minutes to give my order at Starbucks. I AM a boring blogger, aren't I? Well it's not like much is going on. I suppose MJ and Billy Mays are huge news, among others dying left and right. But that just doesn't interest me. Maybe it's 'cause every other person on the internet is talking about that. I'm tired of it. Why do we all go and make these things our business to learn? I was at the Supermarket the other day, and voila, someone's talking with her friend in the checkout line.
Girl1: "Oh, hey, so and so!"

Girl2: "Hayyyy! What's up? O-M-G, did you hear about poor MJ? Isn't it tragic?"

Girl1: "Oh, it is! I cried for, like, an hour!"

Girl2: "Aw, I know! I can't believe he DIED."

Girl1: "I know!"
*Girl numbero 2 checks blackberry*

Girl2: "OH...MYGOSH! Look!"
*Girl 2 shows Girl 1 the phone ish thingy*

Girl2: "They think it was 'cause he was having issues with insomnia and he took, like, the stuff they use in, like, surgery! And he had a cardiac arrest!"
*Girl numero tres walkes over and starts chattin it up about MJ and Billy*

I mean seriously? Has it gotten this bad? I can imagine it on the news and I guess in our minds, but do we have to make it our business to know all of this, just to have a simple conversation with someone who is obviously a good friend? They talked for 20 minutes and then left, having nothing more to say. I don't know. It just seems like a lot. But I see I'm kind of defeating the point here, by writing about all of this. :D

Well, I'ma gonna go break outta my two star town...so i guess I'll see ya later!
"The teenage queen
the loaded gun
the drop dead dream
the chosen one
a southern drawl
a world unseen
a city wall
and a trampoline

Oh well I don't mind
if you don't mind
coz I don't shine
if you don't shine
before you jump
tell me what you find
when you read my mind"

Isa :P :D x

PS: Song numbero uno is Vertigo by U2...you guys should know that I guess...I hope..
and song numbero dos is Read My Mind by The Killers. Favourite of mine. The part in quotes AND the breakin out of this two star town part.....I don't know
Check 'em out!

Again,
Isa :P :D x

How do YOU feel about lying?

Okay, I know, strange title. But seriously. How do you feel about lying. Do you feel it's good to lie to protect someone? Do ya? Well lemme tell you something. They don't like it. They don't like it AT ALL. 'Cause it just makes it worst.
"How would it be
if everything that you thought you knew was
Turned upside down
Opposite from your point of view"
How WOULD it be?
I'll tell ya.
It would suck.

You see, recently, my dear old father has been keeping things from me. He FORGOT TO MENTION that he had CANCER. Then he forgot to mention THAT HE DIDN'T. Then he told me, oh, I don't need the surgery. He does. He didn't tell me that he's going to get this RADICAL surgery to take out something that is TOUCHING HIS HEART AND LUNGS and that involves BREAKING AT LEAST TWO RIBS.

He didn't tell me that he was going to get a job here. He told me that he would come back to Swarthmore, that he would be with us again.

He told me that we were going to be in a beautiful house. He forgot to mention that we haven't bought it yet and that we might not get to. He also forgot to mention living with friends.

He forgot to mention that we were almost broke.

He forgot to say that my uncle C was NOT okay. That I've been worrying about something, not nothing. That maybe there's more to his freaking out than we know. That I should be worrying.

He forgot to mention tons of other things, too.

Sorry for freaking. But I wanted to get this off my chest, and this seemed the easiest way.
Anyway, I guess my point is, don't lie to protect someone if they deserve to know. Ever.

The end!!!!
