it has occurred to me that Saint Patrick's Day has never been a big thing for me. why is that? my whole room is completely covered with plaid and i wear a kilt at every opportunity Bob gets, not to mention that i play pipes and can't wait to be old enough to drink. maybe it's how commercialized the whole thing has become, or maybe i wasn't loved as a child...I'm not completely sure. but this year has been a little different, i got up early today to catch a good Irish band on the local news (why must they put them on at 6:00 am?) and ended up staying up. after waking myself up with an old recording of "st. Patrick's day in the morning" (i know it's cheesy but i couldn't resist) i went out for a walk. cold out there. then came back here, spewed happy Gaelic at people on forums and chats, found something that reminded me of things i do with people and soon after the day started.
I donned my kilt and Ugly Brother and i went to see Ghost Rider (WORST MOVIE EVER!!!) and on the way through town we rolled down all the windows and put in a tape of "Bagpipes of Scotland" and turned the volume up all the way. that was very fun, just the looks on people's faces as they watched a very average looking mini-van go down the streets blaring the Skye Dance Song. priceless. as we got there we got our tickets and went in. immediately i spotted the best people in the lobby to mess with. the bikers. about 5 or 6 muscle-head guys were standing in a loose group, so, being bob, i walked past them and made them jump out of the way. soon after we wen to get a good seat (the movie wasn't going to start for a little while and Bob excused himself to go "get popcorn" but we all know that wasn't the case. i went out into the lobby and looked around. first target: grandma. she wasn't all that old, maybe late 50s, early 60s ish. so i innocently skipped past her and made her half-run away. she wasn't actually my target, rather the all too average looking man standing beyond her, but he just made a face where as she nearly pushed people out of the way to get away from me. next was the urinal. I'm sure you've all heard me speak of the great horrors of port-o-pottys when wearing a kilt, but urinals aren't any better, i assume. i walked into the men's bathroom and looked, there was one open one, right in the middle of a dozen men. i stood in front of it thoughtfully for a moment and watched everyone else slowly move away from that accursed place where they assumed i would go. i made them suffer for another 10 seconds of fake deciding then went into a stall. i could quite literally hear a sigh of relief from one man.
the rest of the day was pretty uneventful, i sat around, ate, drank, was merry, nice day altogether, attracted some nice attention with the kilt, my favorite kind, the confused kind!
and have i mentioned that people annoy Bob. they do. a lot.

her name is McflyxRock. ttyl, i have to go to school
i just slept for...11 hours. that can't be good.
oh, btw, she's dead.
yay! A on science test! in your face brain!
what do you mean, she's dead? oh, and btw, i wore a black feather boa and a Mr. Goodbar costume to my last two classes today. it was very fun, got me lots of attention.
Okay, you waer a kilt, you play bagpipes, and you like to scare old grandma's.
You are very strange.
I saw a man in a kilt once, walking down the street in the middle of the night.
I must've been 10 years old. So I naturally rolled down the window, yelled "I LIKE YOUR SKIRT!!!" and had a good laugh with my family.
Then, not too long ago, I saw a guyin a kilt in the store, and he was wearing Vans sneakers and he had this huge beard.
I needed to know about his background, and wanted to ask about his musical influences so badly.
My brain was buzzing with questions, but I was ushered away by my grandmother who said I should not stare.
'she's dead' here meaning that i will send her a long "friendly" letter and sick a few other people on her. mr goodbar costume...interesting.
heehee. little kids and girls are the worst people to get comments about kilts from. bad comments, anyway, because you can't deliver either a very well placed gut punch or well placed insult on their personal insecurities. aren't people like that annoying? they look so interesting and you kow there has to be some amazing things they could tell you but for some reason you can't ask!
I know what you mean.
But I don't care about a persons appearance, I just don't want to embarrass them or myself.
Out of curiostiy, who is McflyRock? And Isn't McFly that band you hate? This person a McFly fan? Do you hate this person because it?
Am I being too nosy? I'm just curious.
hello again. i don't really have much to say, but hello.
hello.
no, not nosy, curious! mcflyrock is a mcfly fan who has been annoying Anonymous and therefore gets decended upon by a pack of rabbid mcfly haters. we don't hate these people, we're just trying to inform them that mcfly is basicly soft porn set to VERY poorly done music and that they should learn something about music to actualy appreciate it. however people who swear and rant and hate us because we speak our minds put themselves up as fair game for basicly anything we can throw at them, though we still don't hate them.
actually, i HAVE been really rude to certain mcfly fans, just not that one.... oh, did i tell you about this absolute utter and complete B-WORD that hates me for no reason?! she's a really pretty girl, she's just a jerk... anyway, so i and a friend were blowing straw wrappers in her general direction, so she went into this huge tirade and just was ranting at us about how we were rude and immature and then i called her a killjoy and then afterwards began to feel kind of guilty about it (i WAS rude to her) so i decided to apologize. so i walked up to her and said hi, and she waved me away, sarcastically saying 'bye'. so i said i was trying not to annoy her but to be nice. her response: well, you were really rude yesterday, so goodbye. so then i tried again the next week. you'd think she'd have cooled off some by then. but she didn't. i said, 'i was a jerk last week. i'm sorry.' she didn't even look at me or speak to me, she just waved me away with this extremely snotty look on her pretty face. and then i said, 'no, i really apologize!' no response. what a jerk. and it was all because i shot straw wrappers at her lunch table and called her a killjoy. which she WAS!!!!!!! NOT TO MENTION IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this person is obviously a snotty stuck up jerk who has no social skills and should shut her fat mouth whenever she thinks about saying something.
people like that aren't worth it. you shouldn't feel guilty about not appologizing if they're like that. i've had an experience like that and if the person if realy being an @&&hole just forget about it and insult them again to make yourself feel better.
i don't really feel like insulting her again..... as you said, she's really not worth it. and since she won't accept even the most sincere of apologies, there's no point in bothering. it just was annoying. well, i should probably go to my first class now..... see ya.
Well. I guess all questions are answered.
I listened to McFly. They are just preteen "rock". Something to help gently glide you into better music.
Good Charlotte is the same way. They tried to be all punk rock and whatever, but the truth is, influences don't always shine through your music.
I never would be listeing to the stuff I do now if it were not for GC. The stuff they talk about I checked out, didn't really like but it lead me too other stuff.
I will never be ashamed to say that I am a Good Charlotte fan, up until their last album, Chronicles Of Life And Death.
My god that is a horrible album. Their new one isnt' any better.
I've heard a few tracks off of it, and I swear my eyes were going to bleed.
Their second album wasn't bad actually. It's their best work, and it's what they will always be known for.
Okay, long rant over.
I was laughing at that one... hehe... and for your sake um... i'll put in that i had the lamest st. patties day eva.. so you can feel good that i suffered while u had fun :). oh and mcfly is evil (had to say it for you).
btw this is Graham if you haven't guessed already...
Anonymous, all i can say is ignore her, and if the situation calls for it flash her a nice little signal (see 4th post in july if confused).
never been a big GC fan. problem with the whole "mcfly gliding you into better music" thing is that they (the fans) get way too attatched to these ape-like jerks and their naked bodies which they present EVERY CHANCE THEY GET, sometimes even in concerts. i'd be fine with them if they just played their bad music and left it at that, but they have to then strip and do all sorts of sick perverted things and then market it at 12-year-olds. but who knows, maybe it has made some people start listening to better music. i'll ask.
GRAHAM! nice to see ya! i've usualy had boring st patrick's days too, just this year was an exception. you should come with me next year and we can scare old women.
ha! new description (words under the title).
great line from shakespeare which i think applies well to me.
yup, that quote is a lot cooler than 'thoughts and theories by the world's leader in third person speach'. you notice i misspelled speech. that's because you did... i was meaning to nag you about it, but forgot. anyway... captain kirk is too sexy for his shirt. well, i am off to study for two tests about things i know absolutely nothing about. see ya.
Well yeah, of course you get attached. It's the first band you find on your own, and you love them.
I'll always have a special place in my heart for GOOD GC because everything since then has SUCKED AND I HATE IT!!!!
Oh and their I'm better than you attitude!
WTF?! You're in a pop band! Your audience is mainly 12 year old girls! You can't act like that!!!
Jerks.
Okay, mood swing over.
Smelly and i both got shakespeare's insults day calenders and so we've been insulting each other in elizabethan lately.
herculese himself could not dash (Ethan's) brains out, for he has none!
--all's well that ends well
i'm still attatched to my fist bands even though i know that they COMPLETELY SUCK. sad, isn't it.
No it's not sad. I stil listen to GC on occasion.
Never the new stuff. But the old stuff.
ya, kinda like nightwish, which sucks now because they lost the only thing that made them interesting.
Oh yuck, Nightwish. They freak me out.
Probably one of few Finnish bands I've come across that I don't like.
It's the opera theme they have going.
I like opera and everything, but I just am not a fan.
I love Finnish metal though! I'm such a Finnish metal junkie. I love it.
huh. well you might like them now, they ditched their opera and now their have their annoying bass player singing.
They ditched what made them cool and different? What happened to their siger? Tarja I think her name is...Did she quit the band?
no, the creeps fired her. i think it was probably that stinking bassist. he always kinda wanted to be the vocalist. there's some lame excuse on their website. she's still working though, has an album or two out. so anything pre 2005 Nightwish is good.
in other news...bob is sad. we are going to a college a week from tomorrow. Brother is staying in a dorm or whatever while bob is left at motel 6, and when i'm not there i get to go to the campus to watch some brainwashed student talk about how amazingly wonderful their college is. the only way i've gotten through the other boring crap is by fantasizing about what would happen if a horde of zombies suddenly came around the corner, but that won't entertain me for 2 days in a row.
sorry, long complaining rant over now.
hello again. yeah.
'ello govna'!
'ello govna'!
Oh my, I had no idea they fired her. That sucks.
She should get a new band together.
ya. she's doing a solo modern opera thing right now that's kinda cool but not as good as nightwish
anyone ever heard of "battle royale", a japenese movie that came out a few years ago. just saw a couple trailers and it looks pretty good
um, nope. yay, star trek. i think i'm going to go watch an episode. i'm too tired to do stupid homework that i can do easily tomorrow. well, um, bye then...
i should order some star trek from the library...
Huh. Well at least she's doing something, not like...not doing anything.
actually, there are only 3 seasons of TOS, and i own seasons 1 and 2. i'm thinking in a week exactly, i will be owning season 3. the library copies are all scratched and you have to wait about a billion years for them since there are always at least three people ahead of you. it's much better to just borrow the DVDs from me. if you really want to watch some Trek.
huh.
yup. i'm in trouble. again. but not grounded. just... disappointing to my parents, i guess. and i'm being called away by my little brother (urgh!!!!!!) to squish ants.
charge! show those ants who's boss!
sorry about the trouble, know the feeling well... ;)
lol, ants. actually, i did absolutely nothing about those ants. all you really have to do is listen to R.E.'s complaints and whinings about them, and you'll have done what he wants. and, yeah, i was supposed to be home at a certain time and i got there, let's see..... 35 minutes later. which is a bad thing, obviously. and i wasn't even THINKING about how disrespectful it was. well, anyway, let's be happy. have i forgotten to mention i'm in love with Spock? my friend's little brother..... omg, it was the CUTEST THING EVER!!!!!!!!! he's two years old, and i was showing him how to take apart the ST DVD case and put it back together, so for a while he was absorbed with that... but then he actually started looking at the picture of Kirk and Spock on the front of the season 1 DVD case and kept pointing at Spock and it was SO CUTE!!!! and then he opened up the booklet and started looking at all the pictures and kept pointing at the illusion the alien made in The Corbomite Maneuver...... and then we all actually watched an episode (This Side of Paradise, if you really care) and he was absolutely FASCINATED with the Enterprise (he's obsessed with cars, apparently, and then the Enterprise IS a lot cooler than any car, so no wonder) and we kept pointing at Spock and saying "Spock" and he'd always say Psock. Psock. LOL!!!!!!!!! it was so cute.... Psock. how has your weekend been? \\// (the computer version of live long and prosper) omg(sh)...... i LOVE ST!!!!!!!! but seriously, if you are thinking of watching TOS just borrow some dvds from me. library... not worth it.
i take half of shakespeare's advice and never a borrower be. i'll lend but i try not to borrow things if i can help it.
our library's so fun. we've gone there about 4 times a week every week since we moved here (14 years ago) so we know all the librarians. and one of them, one of ethan's friends, does all the hold stuff. and since he knows me and ethan very well he'll write things on our holds.usualy a review of the movie and a comment about how we're "evil people for watching it" even if it's something he likes. he's very nice if quite odd, so i can't wait to see what he has to say about star trek, assuming i get it.
my weekend was OK, went to a gun show (i didn't know that there were so many hicks with assault rifles IN THE WORLD!). it was very fun though, the venders are all very nice, i got to hold a machine gun, which is a big thing for young gun nerds. all i could afford was a box of ammo (the nice kind that'll give me an edge for the 4-H competition). other than that...not much. worked almost all day sunday digging flower beds and all that useless stuff. oh crap gtg, \\//
have you not been listening to me?!?! i said DO NOT GET THEM FROM THE LIBRARY!!!!!!!!! HONESTLY, BORROW THEM FROM ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I DO NOT CARE ABOUT WHATEVER THE HECK SHAKESPEARE SAYS ON THE SUBJECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU DRIVE ME CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wow, okay, (rant over) so i walked home from school and it took me an hour and a half and i am so hot and sweaty right now and it's not even that hot out right now. anyway, have fun with waiting a billion years for star trek. lol. i have to go eat sourdough rolls with butter, and thin mints, and good stuff like that. see ya. p.s. i don't really actually care about the whole dvd thing. i'm dumb, but i think i won't delete the rant-ish thing that i wrote. it was too fun and raving mad to delete.
oh, and, as for what that librarian dude might say about trek.... i think he MIGHT say something to the effect of, wow, didn't think you guys could get any more nerdy..... lol!!!! \\//
probably not.
hi there. sorry about all that. really. i love you.
sorry about that too. i'm crazy depressed. if you want to delete it fine.
whatever. i'm a bit depressed too. things just seem to kind of generaly suck. that college thing i was telling you about...it gets worse. i now have to go to a banquet. now not only do i, as a rule, hate banquets, but this one is especialy bad as i will be the only person there within four years of my age, so i get to stick out like a sore thumb and feel even more self-concious than usual. pluss i have to pay the stinkin library $20 for a lost book and im extremely tired from working all day and now i get to go relax with an evening of work...
sorry, i feel rather annoyed wtih everything lately, kinda overwhelmed and i'm taking it out on you, my poor reader(s). ignore prevous complaining rant.
whatever. ACK!!!!!!!! scream cough splutter. so i'm going to school now (at least it's predictable) and i hope the banquet goes alright. if i could make you a banquet antidote i would. but i can't. so, um, hope the food's good at least. i have to go get ready for school now. so, \\//.
50!!!!
sorry about everything being overwhelming and annoying. wish i could help you. yeah. ((you)) that was just me being evil. mwahahaha!!!!!!!! bye.
i hope the food's good too. i intend to boing every speaker, drip and just generaly mess with people so that should make it a little better.
52! wow, 52, how sad is that? i shoudl learn to actualy talk to people some time...
thanks for the support, bye.
thou art the lamebrain. (from the three stooges, i forget which short... doesn't really matter) but y'know you really ain't a lamebrain. argh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i've now got 'ain't no other man but you' stuck in my head and it's DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!! not that sexyback wasn't a ton and three quarters worse........ \\//
50 is better.
okay, OKAY, so you ARE a lamebrain!!!! i want rice pudding. with raisins. nice Shakespearean insults there.... i'll have to try them out some time. although i doubt i'd really waste my energies on haranguing a total stranger.
See I told you.
50 is only bad when it comes to money, and concerts.
Think about it.
i want a snickers. and a monster. and a life ;) but messing with strangers is SO MUCH FUN!!! one of my favorites is sitting on a park bench and biting at anyone who goes by, then have a friend appologize and explain that i'm "off my pills today".
wow...goes into druggie half-trance philosophy daze.
sometimes i wish i had an imagination like yours..... and then i come to my senses again! although that does sound like a lot of fun, i mean, messing with strangers and all. i could tell you of an instance in which an acquaintance of mine whom i have not seen or spoken to in two years impersonated a retarded person at a mcdonald's. yup, he went up to the counter with a penny and asked in a very slow, mentally-challenged-sounding voice, asked for one french fry. the guy at the register apparently got all confused and flustered. also receiving ten bucks for flirting, if that plan should ever come to fruition. i think i'm high, or i wouldn't be speaking so formally over the internet. i think i got high on...... OPIUM!!!!!!! did i ever tell you about my supply of opium?!?! if not, remind me at the very next opportunity to do so. yes, i persuaded The Hottest Guy In The Universe to hold my opium for me while i did pratfalls. it was a fun day. but that was a few weeks back. dang it, there went my formality thingymagoozer or whatevertheheckyoucallit. i need to do homework. i HATE homework. whine whine whine complain.
the mcdonald's retarted guy is an old one, though the penny for one frenchfry is a good one. another good for mcdonalds on a day when there's no traffic in the drive-through, with a couple people, locate the camera and then have someone walk in front of it and the other people "mug" him or her. that gets 'em flustered too.
opium? well at least you're traditional in your drug choice, unlike ethan who will just take anything thrown at him. *glances at colin who has been hung by his tidy-wideys from the rafters for daring to tresspass here AGAIN.
sorry if that was kinda bad grammar and crap, i have Black Friday Rule going in my ear as loud as my stupid CD player will let it so i kinda get song ADD.
okaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, then. silly person. is black friday rule a song? i'm feeling drunk with tiredness and sickeningly maudlin. so i will leave you alone now. goodnight.
Lets go get the pitchforks, colin is back.
to the local Angry Peasent Supply Store!
oh, and yeah, black friday rule is a song. it's irish which means it's sad and angry, but awesome all the same. i think the first two lines apply to me rather well.
just take my word for it, don't listen to it you'd probably hate it. dang it it's in my head again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
actually, now you've got me interested... i'd kind of like to listen to it now. (you DO realize, of course, that i am as stubborn as you?.....) GET YOUR ANGRY MOB SUPPLIES HERE!!!!!!!
i'll take two pitchforks and dozen tortches ;)
now if you could please call up your local hit man and send him over here to blow my brains out before this trip it owuld be greatly appreciated. i think if they get too boring i may have to light off a smokebomb...or start boinging the speaker...ug. this may be my last post 'til after i've passed through all 10 circles of brother's college-hell. see y'all in pergatory.
oh, and if your going to listen to black friday rule try to find the one by Rising Gael, they have a good version, and Flogging MOlly has a good, if slightly vulgar version.
thanks for the advice, i'll keep it in mind. and, btw, what day are you leaving for this hell-hole called a college? i really want to know. okay, well, i gtg now. school. ugh. bye. llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllame!!!!!!!!!
hey, aiden, bob, what do you think of L'Ame Immortelle? i have listened to a few of their songs and loved it, despite not understanding all of it (most of it i understood however.... guess all those years of German finally paid off!) songs i've listened to so far: in German- Phoenix, Nur Du, Dein Herz. songs i've listend to that were in English- Fallen Angel, Fear. i like all of them, although i think the songs in German are better. generally songs that have dark themes and are reasonably melodic do appeal to me, though, Evanescence (gag) being the exception. no offence if you like Evanescence. i just can't stand them. i think i should go now. bob, will you be at church tomorrow? ty bye.
im baaack! post about soul-sucking weekend coming soon.
never heard of the band, will look it up asap, can't go to church as we are all exhausted and spent 12 hours in the car from friday to saturday and got home @ 2am.
talk more later.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it's my birthday today!!!!!!!! you know what's scary?!?! now Richard's the age you were when we all met, you're the age i was, i'm the age Ethan was, and Ethan's...... a grownup. (gasp.) oh yay. i feel like i'm 6 not 16 cause i'm having so much fun (ST, yay) and i just ate WAAAAAAAY too much...... ttyl. \\//
