Favorite Song Of The Week

So I forgot to mention this a few posts ago, but HAPPY 100TH POST!!! I would like to thank the Academy... But anyway, Fall Out Boy's new album, Folie à Deux came out a little over a month ago and I'm sure I probably did something exciting about it when it did, but I don't remember. It's really good, quite amazing actually, as we all suspected. So from the Fall Out Boys themselves, I bring you...

MY FAVORITE SONG THIS WEEK IS...

20 Dollar Nose Bleed
by: Fall Out Boy (w/ Brendon Urie!)


Have you ever wanted to disappear?
and join a monestary
Go out and preach on manic street
where will I be when I wake up next to a stranger
on a passenger plane, passenger plane

Permanent jetlag
Please take me back, please take be back
I'm a stray dog sick
Please let me in, please let me in
When life keeps tripping
Singing vows before we exchange smoke rings

Give me a pen
Call me Mr. Benzedrine
But don't let the doctor in
I wanna blow off steam and
Call me Mr. Benzedrine (Mr. Benzedrine)
and don't let the doctor, don't let the doctor in

It feels like 14 carats but no clarity
When I look at the man who would be king
The man who would be king goes to the
desert to sing war his dad rehearsed
came back with flags on coffins and said
we won, oh, we won

Permanent jetlag
Please take me back, please take be back
I'm a stray dog sick
Please let me in (Please let me in)
When life keeps tripping
Singing vows before we exchange smoke rings

Give me a pen
Call me Mr. Benzedrine
But don't let the doctor in
I wanna blow off steam and
Call me Mr. Benzedrine (Mr. Benzedrine)
and don't let the doctor, don't let the doctor in

B-b-b-b-Benzedrine
my, my, my Benzedrine
my B-b-b-b-Benzedrine now

The wonderful feeling that is the rest of the proof
is on the television, on the

Call me Mr. Benzedrine
But don't let the doctor in
I wanna blow off steam and
Call me Mr. Benzedrine (Mr. Benzedrine)
but don't let the doctor, don't let the doctor in

Have you ever wanted to disappear?

(After the amazing song, Pete does his thing with a little emo monologue. If you want to read that, go look it up, I don't like it).

Do You Have Something To Confess?

Hmm...what a task at hand. Blogging. Life is bleak these days, much like the weather.

But, I went to another Remedy Drive concert! Numero cuatro! I knew there was a reason I've never skipped most of their songs. Not to mention the fact that they take up several spots on my list of most played songs...

Media from the concert, for your enjoyment.

There...a little something for everyone. Maybe a video too...

NEVER MIND

Oh I don't know...what else is there to talk about other than an awesome concert? Not much, that's the answer. How about school? Join the crowd, everyone's doing it.

Geometry's going great. Everyone loves a good scalene triangle (but what is it congruent to? What postulate proves that?). We have a student teacher for this unit. She's pretty much a horrible teacher. I understand that she's a STUDENT teacher, but really. Just let Mr. Foss teach. I'm passing with flying colors...by the way. Espanol. Always fun. I can almost speak sentences fluently. That is, only if I want to know what time you have lunch. (A la ahora tiene el almuerzo? [I think...]). Oh, chemistry...today we burned things. Like soap. And sugar. It was smelly. That's about all you need to know about chemistry, other than it is the only class I have a B in (*fumes* It's destroying my spotless GPA). Psychology is always the highlight of my day. Everyone should take it, especially if they want their faces to be melted off by the sheer amazingness. Today Mr. Aukerman made another Edward Norton reference. It's really starting to freak me out. It's like he knows... Following the highlight of my purgatory in hell, I meet the devil herself. Klawonn. Most people don't refer her as Mrs, either. Trust me, it's not just me... We've been assigned a cute little one month project this week, which is lovely. I'd rather not rant about that now, since there will probably be many more in the future. I have an A though! And to finish the day, I have Modern Civilization. Everyone needs a little history once and awhile, right? Plus I have another cool teacher, so that makes life easier.

Well that was a great little paragraph, huh? I feel quite accomplished, actually. But for something more interesting...



Fall Out Boy's new album Folie à Deux has been POSTPONED! TO DECEMBER! What a horrible thing, right? The three released songs, I Don't Care, Headfirst Slide Into Cooperstown On A Bad Bet, and What A Catch, Donnie are amazing. I suggest everyone gets them from wherever they buy/illegally download mp3's. Also, iTunes was doing a fancy-schmancy little "Countdown to Folie à Deux" where they release something new almost every week until the old release date, which was November 4 (that's why they postponed it, because they decided they didn't want to release it on Election Day). Hopefully, those smarties at Apple won't notice and will continue to release things until everyone just has the whole album. By the way, it is now being released on December 16, 2008. How nice of them to release it two days before my birthday...

RAZIA'S SHADOW! Always on the fringes of my brain waves. I just got an e-mail today, saying it is preparing to be shipped, which is very exciting. 11 days to wait!

Twilight (the movie) is ever so quickly approaching now, as well. 35 days. Not that I'm counting. But I've had enough rants about vampire books for my own good, so I'll keep this one simple. The soundtrack also comes out soon. November 4, ironically. They're not afraid of politics, it seems. Vampires could kill 'em all...

Well, it seems I've run out of things to talk about, and my video hasn't even begun uploading. Forget that then.

What is Melanie listening to right now?: Breaking - Anberlin

The People Inside

My deepest regrets for not posting in *checks* almost a week. I've been quite busy with things like my hero project (blach), my model (more blech), other homework and...other things. I can't quite remember the past days, so I won't go into what non-interesting things happened to me. I did go birthday shopping with my aunt, perform at my piano recital and play one of the three wisemen in our church program with two fifth grade boys. AAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWKKKKKKK - WARD. But other than that, no. Nothing much.

I'm pretty much stressed over semester tests. Today I took my first one for gym. IT WAS THE MOST AWFUL THING I'VE DONE SINCE THE TOWER OF TERROR AT WALT DISNEY WORLD! We had to run 25 laps in 12 minutes. For those of you who know me, Melanie does not run half a mile in her free time. Maybe at least four, but... So in other worlds it was painful and I pretty much died. I at least got 20 laps in, though, and only walked 3 of them. Impressive for me. I came out red-faced, in pain - barely being able to walk - and exhausted for the rest of the day. Otherwise, it was quite enjoyable. *pained smile*

Countdown to my birthday: 1 day!!!
Number of presents for Melanie under the Jon tree: more than everybody else!

I'll try to post more often, for those of you who care to read this. We'll probably get an update in after my birthday at least, to go over the presents I got! WHEE!

What is Melanie listening to right now?: Champagne For My Real Friends, Real Pain For My Sham Friends - Fall Out Boy
Sorry about the 3C4SR CD Alissa. Maybe I'll let you borrow it?

Maddy, You're My Hero!

While some people say that Panic! at the Disco is horrible live, I could agree otherwise. Well, at least when they played in Denver. Now I've just been searching and searching for the songs live from Denver. And guess who could provide me with the said songs? MADDY!!!! That is why Maddy is my hero.

In other news, Lincoln may have burned down by now, for today, as I was leaving school the fire alarms went off. We were all herded out of the school like cattle (sorry actors). I could almost guarantee that it was just the construction workers emitting so much dust from remodeling the foyer (as if it could get any uglier), but wouldn't we all be happy if we could just go to Roosevelt? Hahahaha...no.

And why yes, Alissa's sweater guy does now, in fact wear sweaters. Very soft (yes, I would know *shifty eyes*), cashmere sweaters in a nice hunter green. They're not very warm though. Who wants to venture a guess that he got that on Saturday at Old Navy?

My model is coming along quite nicely now, even though I'm still probably very far behind. I have the stage completely assembled, now I just need to add my set. I'm a nervous wreck about semester tests too. And trust me, I do not make a nervous wreck.

Countdown to my birthday: 7 days
Number of presents for Melanie under the Jon tree: 5 (where's our presents, G-ma?!?)

What is Melanie listening to right now?: G.I.N.A.S.F.S. - Fall Out Boy
P.S. We got our semester two schedules. My semester two sucks. And high school in general.
P.S.S. Watch this: TUFTY THE SQUIRREL IS VERY NAUGHTY (courtesy of Kaitlyn)
P.S.S.S. I also have my lunch period with the posse. ALL OF THEM. "Hey guys! Look who's a new member of the posse?"
