Almost done the 'A' artists. I've been ignoring it a bit, so I decided to listen to another band yesterday. It was Aphex Twin, and I actually like his songs a lot. Most of his pieces don't have lyrics; mostly electronic and mechanical sounds. Pretty cool stuff though.
I usually listen to it song by song, and following that pattern, I clicked on the first song I had downloaded. I had listened to 5 songs before I realized that I wasn't on the first one anymore. They are not necessarily repetative, just trance-like. Calming background tunes, like when you're sitting in a coffee bar reading a book and there is music on the raido, yet you don't focus on it.
I've eaten 30 freezies today. They are amazingly addicting.
Finished watching Junjou Romantica. Such an adorable anime. ♥
I should do laundry today. Clean my room a bit. I need my bathingsuit to be washed for tonight when I go to the Hot Pools with Raeanne and Demi. It'll be a blast, I'm sure. Haven't been there in months.
Spencer is just like I remembered him. Cool and relaxed and a tad alusive. He doesn't talk much, as usual, and instead prefers just to sit and observe. Funny guy though. I managed to ensnare his attention for a while and discuss the Grad Pranks that his grade pulled. He got Grad-napped by 8 girls, clothed in a frilly dress and thrown in a lake. xD Too bad we didn't do any nappings. I would've enjoyed that immensly.
Beach pary ended up being a lot of fun. It was pretty hot in the early afternoon (35'c or so) and the water was the perfect swimming temperature. I swam so much that day I swear I had to practically wring myself out afterwards.
It was nice to see everyone again.

I was blog walking around and came across this quiz from Gladys's blog Glamorised.
It's an interesting test. Here are the answers that I recieved:
1-st question. Priorities in your life:
1: PRIDE
2: FAMILY
3: LOVE
4: CAREER
5: MONEY
2-nd question:
Compassionate implies your own personality.
Understanding implies personality of your partner.
Sneaky implies the personality of your enemies
Bitter- It is how you interpret sex.
Strength implies your own life.
3-rd question:
Jacinda - Someone you will never forget.
Kim - Someone you consider your true friend.
Melissa - Someone that you really love.
Jen - Your twin soul.
Justin - Someone that you will remember for the rest of your life.
The answers made me think. I'm not sure if I trust them, as it's one of those "if-you-don't-send-to-blah-number-of-people-etc" quizes, and althought some answers are strange, I do think that others are pretty accurate.
You take it. See for yourself.
Sex is bitter? HAH!
I'm pretty phsyched for the beach party today. Only 2 hours till takeoff! I'm supposed to wear either white or neon colors, as my friends Will is bringing his blacklight after it gets dark. There is a campfire ban in place right now, due to it being summer and all those forest fires in Kelowna, so we're not allowed to start one on the beach. So, instead, we're bringing his blacklight and (apparently) a lot of glow sticks. Not sure who's paying for those. Definitly not me.
Can't wait to finally hit the water. I've only been in the lake once this year, and I didn't even dunk. Teehee. I was just playing around with Morgan. Our lake (Windermere) is nutorious for having swimmers itch, and there are even signs all over Kinsmen Beach that say to shower after exiting the water. We're not going to that beach. Gross. There is a little rocky beach a little ways down the lake, accross the train tracks that is a lovely spot. It has no swimmers itch and no lake-weed and few mosquitoes.
There were no real plans for entertainment today - a circumstance that I find attractive. No set events or games or activities. Just whatever we feel like doing.
IT'S 11:11! -wishes-
My cousin Spencer was scheduled to arrive yesterday, but he got held up in Jasper. ;3 "Held Up." I'm thinking that's code for "Met a cute girl and is staying the night at her place." Why? Eh, a girl answered his cell phone and it amuses me to think such things.
This reminds me, I have to tidy the house up. It's a wee bit messy and mum would probably like it looking better before he gets here. Good impression and all that.
I'll blog again later. I want to continue that post about Grad.
----------------------------------------
7.25.2009
My stupid computer just saved my last post as a draft after I posted it and made me post it again today. Silly thing.
Went to Cranny today to find new glasses. Sarah and I must have tried on 30-40 pairs each before we narrowed it down and chose. Took about an hour and a half.
I love my frames! :3
Don't feel like talking much. Maybe later.
----------------------------------------
Was going to go to sleep. Thought I should get a post up before I do.
This post is actually number 31 this time. ^^;
My eyelashes are so long! I cut them a long time ago because of it. Yes, I know, weird huh? I did, though. Cut them. Turned out to be too short, so I had to let them grow in again. Now they are long once more, and the annoyance is back.
It's difficult to wear mascara while wearing glasses. Looks great, but they are so long that every once in a while they scratch against my lenses. Trust me, it feels strange. Owell, I'm never cutting them again. Ever. That was a lesson learned.
Plus, when I'm not wearing glasses, my eyelashes are sexy. ;3
Off to Cranbrook tomorrow, well today I suppose, to get new glasses! Not exactly sure what style I want. Whether to go for sleek and sophisticated or chunky and emo. Leaning towards the latter. Huge and black, perhaps. Very square. Who knows. I'll probably change by mind again.
Went grocery shopping today. Last day of Dollar Days at Sobeys. Got some pretty cheap food.
Okay, and now the big thing. My cousin, whom I don't think I've ever mentioned before, is coming down from Kamloops to work with my dad on our house.
Yeah, Spencer is going to be here for a month. It's going to be an interesting experience, and one that I welcome. I'm very excited. He's a few months older than me, 6"freakishlytall and eats more than a small army. We were best of friends in the past, but have grown apart over the years.
Sarah says "Cool! It'll be like having an older brother! Just our cousin, is all!" I wonder...
I hope you guys will get to meet him. Probably will sometime.
Jenny, when you stay at my house, the room you previously used will be occupied by him. So, you'll be sharing a room with me! Yay! Bed-buddies! <3
Downloaded more music. Still not through the "A's". Like I said, it'll take me a while. So far I've found songs from just about everyone I've gone through. Not like albums-full, but quite a few. I enjoy doing this.
Ranted on Gaia about the navigation changes. Pissed me off. It's so much harder now to edit my profile. Too many links to click. Whatever, I'll get used to it just like the last ones.
1 liter of Happiness, guys. That was my hour with you. ^^; I can't wait 'till Sunday!
We're gonna' party like it's a......part-ay! Oh yeah!
Haha, um, now it's time to sleep.

I don't really like the titles of the thirties, but it'll do for now.
A chainsaw started up outside and I thought someone was playing The Pussycat Dolls When I Grow Up really, really loudly.
I'm an idiot.
Going to start downloading some songs from afor-posted artists. Starting at the beginning of course. A-Z.
My makeup looks like something from the carnival of horrors. I wanted something creepy and weird and colorful, and so I made my face hideous. I'm also wearing fluorescent purple stockings.
I'm an idiot AND a freak show today.
Wahoo.
edit: thanks Demi, for pointing out my post title mistake. <3
----------------------------------------
7.22.2009
Oh, such a terrible thing has happened. Talking to Justin, and, Demi, I'm not sure you'll like him anymore. He doesn't really like Led Zeppelin. I know, a sad day has come for your non-existing-friendship, I'm afraid.
In more exciting news:
Thanks to Justin, I've located so much more artists it's making my head spin. Anything from Alternative Rock to Folk to Oldies to Steam Punk. Oh yeah.
It is going to take me a while to go through them all and find songs that I like. But, it'll be worth it in the end.
I've been searching for new bands and artists lately. My musical tastes are changing now, and my musical library is sorely lacking in anything vaguely original.
So, I'll put all the artists up here, so anyone who's interested can take a look at them. There are some in the list that I've listened to, and they are there because I either have only a few songs from them, or have heard them and have none but want some.
Moved the artist list to my sidebar. It'll be there for a long while as I continue to update it.
Oh, and Island's End rocks.

7.21.2009
Oh, Lord, I want an Irishman.
As you can tell, i finished my new blogksin last night. Well, this morning, really. 4am to be exact. I rather enjoy it.
Mom caught me just as I was heading down the roller coaster hill towards home and mentioned that Dad had somehow found out where I was and what I was doing. She tried to cover for me, "She's taking the movies back, dear.", but his reply was "She's taking the movies back with Jacinda, eh?"
Oh yeah, I was busted.
Now the strange part. I walked in and he was (thankfully) having the shower he takes every day. I apparently had good timing. So, to appease him, I cleaned the whole kitchen before he got out. Upon exiting the bathroom, he took one look at me sweeping the floor and said "I have a softball game tonight." I was more than a bit shocked at this. Expecting somewhat of a rage from him about disobeying his rules and all, it surprised me that he didn't once mention it. He dressed, grabbed his backpack and said goodbye before he left for his game.
Now, sitting here, I'm a tad worried. I'm not sure if he's had an epiphany about his rules or me or if he's just biding his time till he can yell at me when I'm more confused and vulnerable. I don't know, and it's worrying me. I think I'd be content if he had yelled at me, instead of harboring this constant confusion.
Sitting in Demi's basement with you, Noki, eating olives, Demi twitching as your phone beeped, I felt so unbelievably at home again.
Rudolph. Hah.
Granted Dad doesn't bar my windows and doors and threaten to not feed my miserable soul until I obey every hard rule our family has ever set out for those who have turned from his ways...sneaking out could still happen. ^^; I shall call you.
----------------------------------------
7.20.2009
For the past week I have been under house supervision. In other words, I've been grounded. Saying "grounded" sounds like I'm 5 years old. "Kathleen Erin Lochhead, you know you're not allowed to eat ice-cream before dinner. You know, and yet you disobeyed. You are grounded for a week, young lady." Sheesh. I'm 18, and my father still thinks that grounding me accomplishes something. Maybe he does it for the nostalgia. Who knows.
During this glorious week of laziness and utter boredom (excluding Paddy and Jenny, other circumstances of amazing personal importance) Sarah has been generous enough to allow me access to her laptop computer. In this amount of time, I've been keeping up-to-date with every one's lives. Including my own. Which, I'm assuming, is healthy. Strangely enough, I have become closer to my little sister more in the past 7 days, than I have had a chance to in quite some time.
This Internet access has been unreal. I am so grateful to her for it. It's sad and amusing that I have trouble functioning without any online interaction. I made a 'tweet' a while ago about how cutting computer privileges is like cutting off my life support. After one entire week, it still seemed that way. Yes, 'sad' is a good word for me. Technologically dependent. I have contracted a disease...
Well, that's all behind me now. Father has generously, and I say that with a smidgen of sarcasm, given me those wonderful privileges back. And, as you can tell, I'm taking them for granted. Hooray for being young and stupid.
I've just finished a book. It's been added to the my summer has-been collection. Having all this spare time allows me to indulge in the more fantastical side of life. Fiction is to me as Chocolate is to Jenny. Drugs.
The latest novel to be tossed ceremoniously onto the growing pile is Archeron, written by Sherrilyn Kenyon. A fascinating novel following the life of the Greek God Apostolos.
Read it. It's amazing. I can't describe it. Go here for more details.
Now that I've completed that book, I've moved on to another. Already. Yes, I know I'm insane. It's a romance novel, as was Archeron, and it takes place in none other than to magical landscape of Ireland. Oh, yeah. HOT is the word for that. Actually, it's a rather good book. Written by Nora Roberts, so it should be. I would be rather disappointed if it wasn't, to tell you the truth. She's an extremely talented author.
Reading this book, Born in Shame, I am reminded of my passion for Ireland. I've never been there, but if I happened to suddenly be granted $5,000 dollars, I'd go there in a heartbeat. Packed in less time than it took for the blood to get from my toes to my brain. Oh yes. I'd be gone.
I want to be there right now. I've been craving it so badly.
I've been going over my Twitter posts, all 177 of them, and laughing. I remember posting each and every single one. So, I checked all the 'important' posts, like the 50th and such, and found out what they were. My 20th is to Kris, saying "Yes, I believe I will." My 50th is an advertisement for the Iran Election. And my 100th tweet said this:
"You make me happy."
That made me happy a second time. I remember posting that on the 30th, after reminiscing over Dry Grad and Seamus. Silly me. Haha....aw...damn, I'm an idiot. Che, smiling again.
Was looking at my teeth today. I need to brush more often. They're starting to hurt again. I've gotten 2 out of 6 fixed so far. My front-right tooth is becoming hollow, and it's blackening on the back. Not pretty. I'll ask Mum to see the dentist again.
I have begun the search for a new blogskin. I'm expecting it to take about a day. After having this blog for a month and a half, I'm wanting something...darker. Haha, it needs to be darker.
Lately I've been liking Navy Blues. I'll look for some with a similar theme in mind.

Noki: Jenny's blog is in my sidebar (links), but here it is:
http://iseeashootingstar.blogspot.com/.
Working on Shasta's song. It's turning out pretty damn good. I am enjoying writing about my impressions on her. It's been an interesting trip inside my brain to see what I really feel like when it comes to her, her situations, attitude and personality.
Recent Favourite Artist: Imogen Heap / Song: Hide and Seek
Got a case of Blog-skin-itis now. I really want to change it up. Hehe, it happens ever so often, and I know I told myself that I'd stick with this one for at least a month. It's been a month, hasn't it? I think so. Perhaps I'll let myself change it.
Yes, I think I shall.
----------------------------------------
"Are we in a relationship?"
"Yes, Ben. We are. We always have been."
If that were true, he wouldn't live for very long.
Father would slaughter him.
Well, he wouldn't do something that drastic, but he'd injure him slightly.
Jenny is being picky about my failing typing abilities. Every mistake I make she points out and makes me fix.
She doesn't like what I'm writing about her.
Bwahaha...
We just finished changing her blog skin. The one she has now is pretty nice. I think it suits her. :3
She is very dissapointed at the amount of html work involved in having a blog. She'll work it out, though. It grows on you.
I should know. I'm a coding freak.
After half a year of planning, Demi finally met Paddy - her beloved Austrian Musician. He arrived in Banff yesterday, so she and Jenny made a trip out to see him.
I wanted to go very much, but was also very much grounded. I decided it wouldn't be such a smart idea to sneak out this close to being ungrounded. The decision made me sad, but it ended nicely, as Paddy made the hour-long drive out to our little hick town of Invermere for free pancakes.
I thought he was a pretty cool kid. I only got to speak 5 or six words to him, but I liked him. His chin was very pointy. Just thought I'd point that out again (Demi). ^^;
Jenny is being stupid\\kui\she didn't like that either. Haha.
Nothing all that interesting to report. Possible a small post about Transformers 2 later.

"They were like ...effen... stars.....This much I ...effen... know, that God blessed the broken road that ...effen... led me straight to you."
Sarah is playing the guitar right beside me. Whenever she tries to get a chord and fails, she says 'effen' and continues.
"Getting up, Getting dressed.....omg I don't know the rest..."
:3
So, I am stealing my sisters internet capabilities again.
She is leaving in an hour or so for Cranbrook with Thomas and his family to see Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. It comes out today in theatres, and both of them are very excited.
I am too.
Way more excited than she is.
REALLY EXCITED.
She going. Not me. I hate her.
We need to go see it, guys. Are we still planning on doing that? Is your mom going to drive us, Kris? What day is it? How many ADD kids does is take to change a lig-OH LET'S RIDE BIKES!?
I'm not tired.
Had a really weird dream last night.
It had 2 parts.
Kind of like the last Harry Potter movie.
Nothing sexual at all, btw, Kris.
DECAF is for WIMPS is what my mug-shaped pillow says.

I'm grounded.
Sucks ass.
I cleaned my room from top to bottom yesterday. ALL DAY YESTERDAY!
It's totally re-arranged. Things are in different spots. Bed is made - sheets tucked in and all that jazz. Art supplies, drawings, sketches, paintings, writing and photos are all neatly organized in a filing folder I found, for easy access and. The only things left to do are to go through my clothes and get rid of the items I don't want anymore (fold and place the rest), tidy my desk and clean out the shit in my closet.
That's the only good thing about being grounded and having no contact with the outside world.
You get things done.
Aside from cleaning my room, I've also finished that Chuck Pahlanick book Kris allowed me to borrow. It was amazing. Once again, I've re-evaluated the world. It's shitty. I love it.
I have also managed to finish my resume (another one), and today I'm supposed to go out into town and distribute them to local businesses. This aught to be fun.
If you are wondering at all why the heck I'm posting on my blog while being grounded it's because I've permissionally-hijacked my sister's laptop. She has kindly allowed me to use it for brief periods of time. Thank you, Sarah. You are my lifesaver.
Because I went to Cranbrook to see Transformers 2, I am not only grounded, but my computer has been taken away and I am not sure where it has been put, nor do I know when I will get it back.
I am going to be using her laptop in the future, it seems. I think I'll probably hit up the local Library for new summer-reading books, and, now, Internet. It'll cost me money, about $2/hour, but it'll have to do.
Jenny, you should utilize my house's wireless capabilities and then let me use your Mac. ^^;
Now that I've told you what went down, I need to know what's going to happen.
There is no bloody way I'm spending all my time inside, during the summer, with no friends and no movies and no beach and no Jones.
It's like my father has taken away my Life Support options.
You guys need to drag me out of this Hell hole, understand?
Zoki, mom can't drive us to Calgary. I believe it's more important for me to go than to sit here. Take me with you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Are we having an all-nighter? I won't be able to attend all night (duh), but I'm sure I could sneak in for a couple of hours prior.
Anyone up for knocking on my window at 3am? I am all for nightly walks.
Are we seeing Harry Potter sometime? Please, let me know. I'm coming then, too.
JUST GET ME OUT OF HERE!
I don't care if I get in trouble. He can't keep me locked in my room forever.
Especially when both my windows don't have screens and are conveniently placed directly above my bed.

Weirdest dream ever.
Well, not ever, but definitely up there on the list.
----------------------------------------
7.07.2009
The titles for these looks strange, and I'm not sure how fond I am of having them formatted that way anymore.
I wonder is there is any way I could change them up. Let's see:
20nty1ne ;;; 20ntyone ;;; 21ne ;;; twenty1 ;;; 2wenty1
Oh, I like that last option. ^^; From now on I shall use it for my titles.
Listening to 23 Taylor Swift songs makes me really want to start songwriting again. The lyrics are so simple, and yet they speak clearly to the heart and are incredibly inspiring to me.
It's getting stormy outside again. The local weather forecast (IE. my father) says that the world is pouring all the rain it has on our little town for the next few days, and I'm starting to believe him. In the last 48 hours, I think we've had 3 hours where the rain has let up.
Don't get me wrong, I love rain. It's one of my favorite things. Rainy days makes me think of love and power and Broadway theater performances. However, when it rains non-stop, now, that's not nice.
It's really hard to go for walks with people when it's raining. Well, everyone except for Demi. Haha, we should hang out and get wet sometime.
Tomorrow, Morgan is picking Lisa and I up and we are heading off to Calgary to see Taylor Swift perform at the Calgary Stampede.
We are going all-out with our clothing, too. It has to be cowgirl or nothing. I have a few articles of clothing in my small wardrobe I think would look pretty authentic. I also have a cowboy hat and boots, so this is going to be fun.
This concert is the reason I listened to 23 of her songs. I needed to refresh my memory on the lyrics so I can pretend to act like a crazy fan-girl with the thousands of other people there.
I like her songs, yes, and I adore her lyrics, but I'm not a total fan.
The experience is what I'm going for. Having never really been to an actual live concert, I am stoked for the energy and the crowds. ;3
Plus, it's a girl's road trip with Morgan and Mary, whom I havn't seen for a while now. It'll be a great time to catch up and hang out.
Wanting to curl my hair right now, but not sure if I can do it.
Kris, I want you to keep your blog going.

Since when does Ben call me 'girl'?
Since when does Kris call me his girlfriend?
Since when do I paint my toenails PINK?!
Crazy days, these ones I'm living.
Currently: discussing jobs with Ben on FB.
"It would be much more special if I had to work for what I loved."
I said that to Ben just now. Really? Do I really think that way?
How enlightning.
I had a conversation in my head today while washing the dishes. It spanned a time period of 20 minutes. It's topics focused mainly on love, survival and will.
It was all really strange, but I think I actually came up with solid points. ^^;
Getting a job. Meh. Horrible.
There's almot no place in this town to work. All the tourist come in during the summer to find jobs 'cause they think it'd be cool to work outside of the big cities (ie. Gorbyville), and all the graduates come back to work for the summer. >.<
Which I didn't. Hooray for me.
So, I'm going to print off a dozen resumes and pass them around to different places anyways. No fast-food restaurants for me, though, no thanks. But, I wouldn't mind Pharmasave or a clothing store.
We'll see what we can do.
TAYLOR SWIFT IN 2 DAYS! Oh. My. God! Yeah!
Wahoo!
Yeah!
Goodnight.

"Can you only duel in cars?"
That's my age. 18. Cool.
I should get my license now.
It pleases me that I don't smell like anything.
Space. The Final Frontier. I wish I knew more about it.
Maybe I'll become an astrologist.
I've realized that I am not anti-social. I like my alone time, yes, but I enjoy being alone within a group of people.
If I hear their voices, I am okay. Being around people makes me happier than being alone, certainly.
Nobody recognizes me anymore.
Zoki, you are annoying. Hm...I've begun to notice more and more things about you that irritate me.
I like you, and as we get older and as we change, I feel glad that we won't be spending all of our days together. Because, I don't think I could stand to be around you for very long.
We have our moments of extreme happiness and insanity, like that time we reinacted a segregated community with chess peices. And then we have the moments where you don't like me, and I don't like you.
We ignore those a lot. We like to pretend, I've noticed. I wonder why we pretend they never happen...
My eyes are dry.
Ben: "Did you notice, that Kirk looks like Gavin? It's the eyebrows."
Jenny: "Who has the eyebrows? Spork?"
...
Oh, Jenny.
