A Long-Ass Post.

So...I haven't blogged in a while because I just ended summer school recently and needed a few days of summer. By the way, thanks to summer gym I learned that I suck at bowling (I got a five. A FIVE) and that ice-skating is the bee's knees. I am actually kind of good...after I spend twentyish minutes trying to regain my balance. But in the end, it is super fun!!! Did I already mention ice-skating? Probably. Maybe not. I don't know and I don't want to check. And now we start.

Warped Tour                                                                                                                                             
     I went to Warped Tour for the first time a few days ago, and let me say. It was pretty frickin' awesome. I went to see Simple Plan (which I never ended up seeing..they were playing too late), but I ended up seeing Relient K, The Ready Set, part of I Set My Friends On Fire, and some other bands that were not as epic as the three I mentioned already. Haha but I only saw part of ISMFOF because they are a screamo band and I forgot to tell the person that I was with that they were a screamo band...and let's just say, when they started singing "But The NUNS Are Watching" she looked like she (for lack of a better term) shit her pants. I enjoyed it. They played well :3 And when Relient K did a-freaking-mazingly (and by that I mean that they played songs that I knew! Hallelujah!), and The Ready Set did pretty well. When I went to their concert I only knew a few of their songs but I went home and was freaking out because I saw them sing this song and that song in concert and they did really well singing them. **SIDE NOTE I saw those three bands because they played one right after another on the same stage (what luck, right?) and I've heard of each of those bands before so I saw them all. I did not go just because he sang well on that one song or whatever. BUT I do know the majority of Relient K's and ISMFOF's songs, so ha? I don't even know anymore lol

In Other News...                                                                                                                                        

This is going to be fun to write. It's almost like a mini-rant-joke thing. So I'm a girl, right? And I am lucky to have a dad who is willing to run to the grocery store to pick me up some...err...lady stuff? Or as we call them in my family, product. Yes, we refer to pads and tampons like they are gateway drugs. WHICH REMINDS ME OF this comic from the Gutterpunch Confessional that made me laugh like nobody's buisness. Click HERE to read the freaking awesome magic comic that this guy made called "Smoking Tampons" :] I find it hilarious. Okay so back to my story: my dad is they kind of guy who uses the world flavor at the wrong time and place, right? Well one day he goes up to me and we have a conversation that goes on like this (WARNING WARNING MAJOR TMI ALERT? sorta):
Dad: Jess, is it your..*dramatic pause*..time?
Me: Well yes it is. Or at least I really hope that's where the blood is coming from..
Dad: Uh....okay. Do you need me to pick up some...*another dramatic pause*...product...for you?
Me: Yusss pleaaase.
Dad: Okay. Which flavor do you use?
Me: BAHAHAHAHA
Dad: What's so funny?
Me: It's a tampon, not an ice cream cone. I will not be eating maxi pads anytime soon, I assure you. You mean brand or kind. Not flavor hahahahaha
Dad: Yeah. So which flavor do you use?
Me: *very serious and degraded voice* The orange kind.
Well, I hope you enjoyed that little tidbit into my personal life. It wasn't really a TMI watch, but whatever. I'm sure there was at least one person out there who gagged during my little oh I really hope THAT'S my period line lol. To sum it up, the word "flavor" is used to/should be used to describe taste. Not brand. Not smell. Not size. Not mongoose breed.

Sexy Songs                                                                                                                                                 
SOMEONE JUST OPENED UP A CAN OF SEX(y music)! Hahahaha no. I just wanted to use this title. BUT! There is a song that I have been in love with for the last few weeks (I had to do a CPR test on a rubber dummy and this song was stuck in my head during that..random much? Yeah. That last statement was totally irrelevant to what I am trying to say) and it's a great song. I heard it once and I thought it was crap..then I was like "haha maybe I should listen to it again." And BA BAAAAM. I love it now. But the lyrics are really screwed up. But the chorus is addicting! I'm weird. If you haven't been able to tell by my previous song choices on this blog, I have weird music taste. Here is the song:

"We Left The Atmosphere Behind" by Michael Gregory



Ahhhh. It's great. Hahaha the lyrics are REALLY WEIRD though. Ahhh.

Then there are little gems like Rebecca Black's new single. I really don't know why people hate her..it's not like she wrote "Friday". Any who, if you haven't heard her new song "My Moment", check it out. Google it. YouTube it. I don't own any of the songs I'm posting and I do not own the Google Corporation. Or YouTube. I think YouTube is part of Google but whatever. AHHH I CAN'T THINK! Annny whooo... this song has also been stuck in my head. So I hope it gets stuck in yours, too. I'm NOT GOING TO POST THE REAL VERSION because this parody of her song is so much funnier. Enjoy!

"My Moment" by Rebecca Black



This next song is called "Up All Night" and is by Blink 182, A.K.A. a really great band! They're somewhere in my top three favorite bands. This song has too been stuck in my head, but I can totally tolerate it. Why? Because (excuse my vulgar language) this song is a mindfuck. An earfuck. An eargasm inducing song. I don't know the correct term, but holy crap it's good :) I love it and I hope you love it, too.

"Up All Night" by Blink 182



I mentioned this song back in the Warped Tour paragraph. This song, my loves, is a screamo song. I like it haha don't ask why, but this is a good band and this song is funny :) Why do I like it so much?! I don't know! But there was a time that this song was on my daily playlist.. and I still love this song. It's a different genre, but you'll deal. Ahh. Such a good sound haha you may want some headphones for this one.. (it has NOT been stuck in my head! Yippee!)

"But The NUNS Are Watching" by I Set My Friends On Fire



Eughhhhuhhhghhh. I feel like a music critic. A very crappy one. This isn't what I was working for throughout this whole blog, but it was on my list of stuff to do. Well not really. I just wanted to throw in a crap ton of songs that I like :) Oh, and looking over this post I really abused the CAPS LOCK button, didn't I?
-------------------
It's like 10:00 P.M. here and I am really craving tacos and rice. What is wrong with me?
It's greaaat.
-------------------
I promise the next blog will be slightly more interesting. Maybe. So, speaking that this blog took me about an hour to write I shall depart now.

Thanks for reading!

Creating Something New Is Just Recycling

Hey loves! I feel so bad about not posting since May..well that and the fact that my postings have been incredibly lame lately. And I mean LAAAME. Well anyways, I was thinking about this idea a lot lately and I think I may go through with it. What is said idea? Making a blog that is just for my drawings. Yes, I know that I don't post often but I am feeling that things will change. How/why, you ask? Let's just say that I graduated from the eighth grade exactly one month ago and my parents gave me a laptop for graduation!! ^.^ If you are thinking "WTF. It's just the eighth grade..." then think again. The way it works in my family is that you get gifts for eighth grade and a party for high school. And returning to the fact of my new (possible) blog --> I like  LOVE drawing. What's a better way to express this love than posting it on the internet? Okay, I can think of a few things but whatever. I think it would be cool to do that and maybe become something like Zappa Blamma or The Gutterpunch Confessional. If  I DID do the blog though, I probably would use this as a secondary one and the drawing one as a primary one. I would still have a storyline to my pictures I guess, or more less have a story behind it.
     Something that I would like to add eventually is a "Crazy Amazing Websites" button or a list or something in my sidebar because a) linking in websites all the time gets annoying. Not only for me but probably for some of you guys out there, too.
     So I can become more regular with blogging, I actually made a list of stuff I would like to talk/rant about so that I no longer have the excuse of "Well, I have nothing to write about. Let's dance!!". But on the other hand, I DO have a new excuse, but my excuse will expire in two weeks. What is it? Summer school. I am taking summer health (next week is Human Growth and Development, oh joy!) and also summer gym (the most intense class ever. I swear, I see Jesus (a.k.a. #7 on The Better Pain Scale) by the end of each class). The only good part is that because I live in WI, the weather just started being nice like four days ago, so I'm not missing much.) Oh, and there is another good part...the guys in my morning health class are verrrrry attractive (I'm thinking an "Attractive Strangers Part Two" right here!

I guess I will now leave with an awesome song. OOOOH and maybe if your lucky, a Swedish song video. **Hint: You're lucky. P.S. I put three links in today, if you couldn't tell by the font color change. Just click on:
Zappa Blamma
The Gutterpunch Confessional
I see Jesus





and have a great day! (Long post. Don't say I never do anything for ya')
Thanks for reading! I love each and every one of you.
