Favorite Song Of The Week

MY FAVORITE SONG THIS WEEK IS...

Time Is Running Out
by: Muse


I think I'm drowning
Asphyxiated
I wanna break this spell
That you've created

You're something beautiful
A contradiction
I wanna play the game
I want the friction

You will be the death of me (x2)

(Chorus)
Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it
Our time is running out
Our time is running out
You can't push it underground
You can't stop it screaming out

I wanted freedom
Bound and restricted
I tried to give you up
But I'm addicted

Now that you know I'm trapped
Sense of elation
You'd never dream of
Breaking this fixation

You will squeeze the life out of me

(Chorus)
How did it come to this?
Ooh ooh ooh yeah yeah yeah

You will suck the life out of me

(Chorus)
How did it come to this?
Ooh ooh ooh yeah yeah yeah

The Life And Freakin' Times


Well, after being jipped of my All Time Low concert and taken to freakin' Disney World, this just had to happen. The time some decent bands come to Sioux Falls for an event not related to LifeLight, the only band I go to see cancels. I don't blame The Cab. They haven't said anything as far as I know, but bands only cancel if something bad happens, such as an illness, injury or van breakdown, etc. How would they make money otherwise? It's not their fault, it's just my luck.

Life is not looking up, especially after this little incident. After missing a week of school, my grades are suffering. I only have A's in Spanish and Psychology, my easy classes. Everything else is not good. B's in Geometry and English, a D in Chemistry and I am failing Modern Civilization. Seeing as I usually keep straight A's, this is not a good ordeal. My parents get pissed if I have B's, and midterms are coming home this week. Chemistry I completely don't understand, I wouldn't be surprised if that grade just sank lower and lower. Mr. Bechard is frustrating, and he doesn't really teach ANYTHING. We have a multitude of homework today, that I haven't completed due to my lack of understanding of ANY of it. Modern Civ, I'm not worried about, which sound odd. But, I just missed a test and Mr. Pooley entered the grade and mine is listed as missing. I intend to make that up tomorrow afternoon, and then I will have at least a B. I'm fine in that category. After the stupid English project is over, I won't be so stressed over that. There's no hope for Chemistry, but all I can do is pray that I understand it eventually.

We're studying stress in Psych these days, and I can't help but think of myself. Mr. Aukerman even found some stress tests specifically for me. I didn't take them, but the message was clear. It's not just me feeling I'm stressed out. It's obviously noticable. I don't seem to sleep enough every night, I always feel exhausted and brain-dead during school. That mindless feeling does not help me concentrate in the least bit, and I wonder why I'm bombing things and getting bad grades in classes.

Oh, yeah. I missed a freakin' week for the Happiest Place On Earth. Looking back, it wasn't magical. It only caused pain now.

P.S. I'll post some Disney World pics on Facebook eventually. After I get out of this hellhole.

First Snow 2008!

If you go back to the good 'ol days of 2007 circa 2nd blog post, you would find pictures of the first snow fall. Well, its snowing right now, so I decided that I will make a yearly post of pictures and such of the first snow. For those of you who don't have weather.com as your homepage, you may not have heard about the blizzard striking the midwest...hard. 60 mile per hour winds? 10 foot drifts of snow? No matter, we've had worse. Here, we're not really getting much of it, since it just started snowing about an hour ago and we don't even have much accumulation. It's been snowing in other parts of the state for days. That's where you get snow taller than me. Not that it takes much... So after soaking the heels of my pajama pants on that disgusting wet snow (not the nice fluffy, please-cancel-school snow) and reducing my camera-weilding fingers to small Mel-cicles, I have pictures for you! Voila!

It's pretty pathetic, but I can only do so much to entertain you...

It was cold... and this is what pictures of me end up like when I don't know how much the camera is zoomed in.

The old "looking INTO the snow" picture...classic...

How many days until Twilight?
15 days

I've Got Plenty Of Time To Waste

That statement is actually false...

I have a list of things I SHOULD be doing. But I'm not. Because I'm here. With nothing to talk about. So really, something more accurate would be "I'm Not Doing What I'm Supposed To And Doing Something I Don't Even Have Anything To Talk About On." But that would just be too long...

(That title is actually lyrics to a song. Just FYI.)

Well for those of you who live under a rock, or who are not on my cell phone's contact list, I'm going to Disney World next week. Being forced to Disney World, more or less. Leaving Sunday, coming back Saturday. What I would RATHER be doing would be going to the All Time Low concert. But no, everyone just loves ruin Melanie's life, so why not take advantage of ruining her sweet
sixteen present? I know! I would too! But I'm sure most of you are sick of my venting all this out, so we won't linger on this topic.

I got the Twilight Soundtrack last night! Edward Cullen poster and all! Not that I'd hang it up...it's slightly creepy. But it was worth it! It's pretty cool. Maybe I was biased at the listening party, 'cause I luffles it now. Guess what I'm listening to! Yup! Speaking of which...

How many days until Twilight?
16 days

That was kind of a failure of a countdown, but whatever. You know how much I love countdowns!

Oh, what else is there to talk about? Well, if you live under a boulder you probably wouldn't have heard that the United States of America now has its first African-American President, which is muy emocionante as our Hispanic friends would say. I can also say I saw the first African-American President in person, which is also muy emocionante. I didn't stay up to see the results, but I heard Barack Obama's acceptance speech was really good.

Well, that should last you a good few weeks.

In a month...

Melanie.
