Paradise Circus

First day back in school--figure I've got to do a post like all the others, huh?

5:00am: woke up to my phone
alarm ("Good Morning Good Morning" by my favorite, the Beatles). Sent a text to Alec* "I'M AWAKE SO YOU HAVE TO BE AWAKE TOO! FEEL MY PAIN!" and Tom* "Awww yeah. It's early in the morning, and you have school. Get excited...aka, good morning :)"

6:00am: Shoved my backpack, laptop and textbooks into my new, nice, fixed-up car Sam and headed off to school.


7:00am: Scolded Tom for keeping me up to the ungodly hour of 2am that morning (night?). We went our separate ways: him to PE and me to Chinese, where my teacher was 15 minutes late and we had to wait around outside her classroom in the dark, confused.

8:00am: Chatted with my Chinese teac
her about the radically low temperatures in China right now.

9:00am: Listened to a presentation on "Eveline" from the book Dubliners by James Joyce. I alsolutely love the story, and I was glad to get a chance to talk about it as I was called on, and am too shy to raise my hand.

10:00am: Talked with my partner about the story we'll have to present in a few weeks, "A Mother." Secretly wanted to text Evvy* to find out what happened with her and Art Boy in first period.

11:00am:
Fell asleep--or practically did--during Venn diagram stuff in math.

12:00pm: Stole Tom's
phone--cause he stole mine!--and called him to be obnoxious during lunch.

1:00pm: Yo escribé un ensayo en español. No fue divertido.

2:00pm: Talked about story ideas in newspaper. It's gunna be a great issue!

3:00pm: Finally got out of school. But for all my complaining, it's fun. I mean, I get to see my friends, my boyfriend, and learn. I could do without the homework and unnecessary stress, however...

4:00pm: Went to the park with my brother Well to get pictures for Blackbird Fly. The theme was "It Won't Happen Tonight" and I had a lot of fun! Next time we'll have to go when it's lighter out, although I think
the dusky blue shades worked for this shoot...

5:00pm: Felt sick, shivery and had a massive headache. Took my temperature--a disappointingly unexciting 98.3.

6:00pm: Listened to my new favorite song, Paradise Circus. I can't WAIT for the CD!

7:00pm: Was talked into taking hip-hop/jazz dance lessons. Or considering lessons--still have to run it by my dad.

*I changed names because I thought it would be creepy if someone was writing a blog and using MY real name in their posts. I'm going to make a "Cast of Characters" post with little descriptions so we can keep fake-names straight, and maybe throw a link over there --->

When I get around to it, that is.

  3. Is it wrong that I didn't realize that "Tom" was a changed name?
    You look gorgeous as ever. :)

  5. Okay -- so I just listened to the song now (I know, haha) and realized that I had heard it on the radio a couple of mornings ago.
    I recognized it only because of the line that goes something like "she will never love you like a fly will love you" or whatever. :P
    Massive Attack... the music for House.

  7. I feel like I usually hear crap in the mornings on KEXP, but sometimes I strike gold (Kings of Convenience, Jens Lekman).

    Also I feel that in the morning they are playing the new Hot Chip waaay too much. I swear I hear it almost every day.
