hope everybody had a spiffing 4th, yesterday was pretty fun

-we braved leeches, hugs, sunburn, trashcans, trees and clowns, for starters.
-the fireworks were stupendous. you can tell that they were really trying to impress, which they did.
-augh, one of the guys that i hate most from school came to the barbecue thing that my parents were having. It was like "WTFOMFGBBQ" in that order. he's the boyfriend of a girl that lives across the creek from me. ick.
-It was the fourth of july yesterday, correct?? the holiday where we celebrate our independence on the day that the declaration was signed/written/whatever. because whenever I mentioned anything like this I was immediately attacked. i'm ashamed to say we should just call it "fireworks and free candy day". le sigh.
-I read an article in a magazine about Dubai. Sigh, Dubai. It's so stoopy. It's just sickening to keep on hearing about their man made islands, infinitely tall towers and extreme tourist locations. THE TOURISTS ALREADY HAVE A LOT OF MONEY THAT IS WHY THEY COME TO YOUR RESORT AND PAY A BILLION DOLLARS. PEOPLE ARE STARVING AND HAVE NO HOMES. SEND OUT INTERNATIONAL RELIEF. BE HUMANITARIANS NOT CAPITALIST OBSESSED PIGS. :-p

Ceqeo'f Lacoffuhrf. Jeddeg Fellex!

Twilight: second reaction to the new twilight scene: lololol Edward is a stoopy. There is no other explanation! He runs into the ballet studio like "save bella!" and then he just stands there with a dopey expression and stares at bella as she hyperventilates, and lets James slam him into a wall by his neck. good plan edward. really. good. plan. I like it in the book better. James better not be choking him because vampys don't need to breathe. Also... Half Blood Prince movie is coming out in November, we haven't even had a teaser trailer come out yet just a bunch of pictures. For Twilight we've had a trailer, movies poster, countless interviews and two scenes and Twilight comes out in December. hmmm.
There is a Breaking Dawn release party at a Barnes and Noble that i haven't been to, but it's nearby. Not sure about that... i'm not naturally drawn to fanatic parties and parental cooperation is dubious. oh god, i just realized that I have FTP on august second! does breaking dawn come out the night of the 2nd or the night of the 1st? i'm hoping for the former because there is no way i'm missing 3 hours of reading time and letting everybody finish before me. well i guess i am...

Not Twilight: I was just looking up BRMC and I came upon an awesome interview with a member of the band. I can't really nail down him as a "bassist" or whatever, because it seems like he has say in songwriting, vocals? harmonica and piano. Anyway it was Robert Been aka Robert Turner. Anyway, quote of the day:
"[we feel the need for a] retaliation, because it's time. It feels like we've all been duped with commercialism, with the religious right controlling perception, with the government, the joining of church and state. There's no separation. There are lots of things that need to be spoken about, to be said", the bassist says."I'm waiting for people to kind of tune into that. Sometimes you feel like you're the only one thinking this, and it's really hard. The only way to not feel like that is to make music, and to be part of the solution rather than the problem. A little bit at a time, it's the only thing to keep the head up, to avoid slipping into a manic depressive state! That's what we need. We really want to believe that this world is alright, that people are alright, that it's a good place and worth fighting for. Sometimes it can be pretty disheartening".
There is nothing I could possibly agree with more. qft
