Music genre: Indie
Song Title: Five Years Time
Artist: Noah and the Whale
Lyrics:Oh well in five years time we could be walking round a zoo
With the sun shining down over me and you
And there’ll be love in the bodies of the elephants too
And I’ll put my hands over your eyes, but you’ll peep through
And there’ll be sun sun sun
All over our bodies
And sun sun sun
All down our necks
And there’ll be sun sun sun
All over our faces
And sun sun sun
So what the heck
Cos I’ll be laughing at all your silly little jokes
And we’ll be laughing about how we used to smoke
All those stupid little cigarettes
And drink stupid wine
Cos it’s what we needed to have a good time
And it was fun fun fun
When we were drinking
It was fun fun fun
When we were drunk
And it was fun fun fun
When we were laughing
It was fun fun fun
Oh it was fun
Oh well I look at you and say
It’s the happiest that I’ve ever been
And I’ll say I no longer feel I have to be James Dean
And she’ll say
Yah well I feel all pretty happy too
And I’m always pretty happy when I’m just kicking back with you
And it’ll be
Love love love
All through our bodies
And love love loveAll through our minds
And it be Love love love
All over her face
And Love love love
All over mine
Although maybe all these moments are just in my head
I’ll be thinking ‘bout them as I’m lying in bed
And all that I may believe might never really come true
But in my mind I’m havin’ a pretty good time with you
Oh
Five years time
I might not know you
Five years time
We might not speak
Oh
In five years time
We might not get along
In five years time
You might just prove me wrong
Oh there’ll be love love love
Wherever you go x6
Wherever you go there’ll be love

How does the music make you feel: This genre of music is very hard to categorise since it covers such a huge range of musical stylings but in the last five years or so, indie music has usually pertained to dry humor, poetic nonsense, political awareness

02:25 pm - why not.
why the fuck are you people like this?
why the hell are you so random.
literally, you rarely EVER have reactions that are relavent to the situation at hand, you don't make any sense.
I suppose I've become rather bold the past week or so.
I guess I'll slip back into my role of the quiet one.
Though I loathe it so with all I have to say.
T fucking K.
fuck you, you bitch.
fucking mag me out like that hoe.

12:08 pm - Orz. Religion and politics, my huge asshole factor.
Warning: this journal is about religion and politics and my feelings/opinions on them. If you're going to comment, please make the comment constructive and diplomatic and I will reciprocate.
So... today in American History class today, we were watching the bush wars documentary and looking at political cartoons about Bush and it was interesting to say the least. We also found out that according to a historian poll, 98% of historians think that Bush's presidency was a failure.
I actually sort of feel bad for him, I mean, he is being hailed as the worst president America has ever seen. I'd probably wanna die if I was THAT hated.
But that wasn't even it, we started watching the bush years on CBC and he is a much different man then I expected him to be. I thought he was a good, preppy, favored child in the family sort of guy but he was an alcoholic, black sheep who didn't get along with his father. We only got into about 15 minutes of the movie but it ended at an interview with Arthur Blessit who is a hardcore religious guy and then we started talking about religion.
Now, I am not a religious person to say the least. I am pretty sure that I am an atheist. I say pretty sure because if someone can persuade me otherwise that religion is a good thing or that god is real I would be willing to consider it but you know what, I think that would totally defeat the purpose of religion. I think its just one of those things that you just need to want to believe in. It almost makes me sad in a way that I can't just believe in something just because I feel like it. It's not that I'm very scientific but I do like my beliefs to have proof behind it. Please don't take offense to that but truthfully there really isn't any hard evidence to religion and I think that's where it gets its appeal to some people.
So we all started talking about religion and about how I just don't like religion. I don't like what it does to some people, I don't like how some people feel the need to "save my soul" for me and I also don't like how people use religion to justify their actions. KEEP IN MIND I don't mean this about everyone who practices religion just some people and I stand firmly by the belief that if you let them, certain extremist's can ruin any cause. This is seen in the hippie movement, religion, communism, and in Peta. Just to name a few examples. I think all of those causes are good, at least the ideology of them is but there are people who have just attached such stigma's to the names that I don't think I can bypass that to really support them.
I know first hand about how some hardcore Christians can be. My grandmother being a perfect example, on September 11th, we were just having a conversation and we inevitably started talking about 9/11 and I was trying to be diplomatic because, really? She's my grandmother. This is how the conversation went:
Me: but if you think about it there are extremists in every religion.
Nanny: ...I don't see any Christians crashing into buildings with planes.
Me: no, Nanny that's not what I'm saying, I'm just saying that in every religion there are always people who take it too far and not in just Muslim or christian but in all of them even if they are in different ways.
Nanny: yes, well. Make sure you don't ever get into the CLUTCHES of the evil Muslim religion. Once they get their claws in you, they never let you go.
Me: ... okay Nan.
I was shocked that a woman who is so good and caring and that I love so much could say such prejudiced things.It really hurt. I know that I can't change people who don't want to change but it's frustrating to talk to people who already have their opinions formed in their minds and when they hear you talk they don't listen but wait for a chance to put in their rebuttal. I'll admit to doing this as well but I really do try to listen to both sides of an argument because usually I end up not choosing a side at all because the grey area is so big that I find it hard to make an informed decision without finding lots of really good points in the other side as well.
If you're still reading this by now you have my full and utmost respect because this shit is long.
But THIS is the real reason I actually thought of doing this journal. Because my American history class is right before lunch, I leave with all these thoughts in my head and you know what? I am usually a very diplomatic person. I hate conflict with a passion, if there is a way to compromise or solve things without hurting peoples feelings I will pretty much do anything to achieve this, so much so that I'm pretty much a doormat. But, when it comes to issues I feel strongly about I am very outspoken and I don't really think about how my words will affect other people around me because I always forget that not all people are open minded and open to listening to a side of an argument they may not agree with like I am. SO, I'm at my respective lunch table with my friends and I'm just RANTING about what I think about religion and I will concede to you for one very prejudice thing I do.
I automatically think you drop 20 IQ points when I find out people are religious.
It's a subconscious thing I do and I feel HORRIBLE about it. I always try to keep any prejudices from affecting my relationships with people but I can't help it. It's biased and it's just as bad as thinking people who aren't religious are bad people. I'm not proud of it and I'm trying to stop because I do know lots of people who are religious and are VERY smart. Anyways, I'm ranting and ranting and me and my friend Elly leave to go get some food from the cafe and while wait in the cafe line we have this conversation:
Elly:Um.. you know that new girl that sits at our table with us?
Me: Yeah?
Elly: I think you offended her with your ranting.
Me: oh shit really?
Elly: well, I saw her look really offended a few things during your speech.
Me: Oh my god I didn't even think to ask if people were religious or not.
Elly: yeah, you kind of came off as a little strong and like, it's different when you talk to me about stuff because while I may not agree with you, I understand and I don't get offended but you know, you guys just met.
Me: I feel so bad!
Elly: well, I just wanted you to know.
So after that I went and apologized for the whole thing because I honestly felt like a fucking asshole. I don't know this girl very well at all but I do like her and I felt so bad for saying all the things I did because for all I know she could be heavily religious. The moral of the story? Don't be a fucking asshole about things you know might offend people.

01:14 pm - sometimes existencial.
Some times, nothing means anything to me.
words blend together and they are just marks on paper or pixels on a screen.
Peoples faces melt into nothingness and their expressions and feelings are merely trivial things.
It's times like this where I feel like I could do anything and it wouldn't make a difference.
I could drop to the floor and begin to sleep; I could start destroying everything around me and it doesnt mean a thing.
then, just as fast, everything is everything to me.
Everything and everyone is meanful.
regardless of what you are, what you're wearing or who you are, you are incomprehensibly beautiful.
I can just look around and see the meaning in everything around me.
Everything has a purpose and life has clarity.

12:30 pm - Yo.
why is it that guys find being annoying is REALLY REALLY FUNNY?
I just don't get it.
then again, I don't get fart jokes so I guess I'm not really qualified.
I hate programming class the MOST out of all my classes but its the one I'm doing the best in.
It kind of makes me think that its a good thing that I dont have friends in this classes because I'm actually doing shit.
I don't get as much as I'd like to get done though because I have a computer which is tres distracting.
I blame the world wide web for my not so fantastical grades :)
lol I have been soo into anime lately.
Ranma 1/2
Ouran High School Host Club(english dub WHICH FAILS)
Maison Ikkuko
Witch Hunter Robin (is EPIC.)
lol I kind of hope my invitation to go to the anime convention with Sarah next summer is still open because I'm actually getting really excited about it.
I dont think I'd cosplay though.
I mean, who the hell would I look like?
other then lust of course.
but she doesnt count.
because shes a whore.

is.. getting better I guess.
I mean, I understand what he's teaching now but you gotta fucking listen intently because holy shit he talks fucking fast.
seriously, its ridiculous.
space out for even 30 seconds and you are fucking lost.
sorry about my excessive use of the word "fuck", I'm really hyper and I usually swear alot anyways but when I'm hyper..
I am like a freaking PIXIE on SPEED
(a pixie who has a swearing addiction)
AND I HAVE BEEN HYPER ALLLLLL DAY.
today has actually been a freaking awesome day.
like, everyone was awesome and nothing bad happened and I was really social and HILARIOUS today but then again, I'm always on the plateau of hilariousness.

02:37 pm - I'm almost sure that...
the guys next to me are gay.
I keep hearing snippets of their conversations and it's always words like.. "cock" and "penatration"
kind of grosses me the fuck out and makes me think badly of yaoi.
I'M SORRY YAOI.
I HAVE *slighty* FORSAKEN YOU!!
but honestly, they are cum dumpsters.
|
01:57 pm - SCHOOOOOL.
so...
basically, it's programming class and it sucks so bad and I've only been in here for like half an hour.
seriously, there are 3 girls in the whole fucking class.
and I don't even know them.
I am so utterly alone.
and everyone in here is either a stoner fuckhead or a loser annoyingface.
I can see it's gunna be fun fucking times in this room.
conversation I've overheard from my neighbours so far:
"LULZ, AND YOUTUBE SPELT INCORRECTLY *insert nerd snorty laugh here* WHAT A N00B!"
...they are talking about my teacher.
which is sad when I agree with them.
because if you've ever seen The Incredibles, and you know what Dash's teacher looks like, you get a visual of my teacher.
it's seriously hard not to lol when I look at him. I might contemplate suicide if it were him. which is sad to say but it's true.
apparently he got beat up by a group of former students one time.
I WOULD GO INTO DEPRESSION.
and he has a daughter whose the same age as I am and shes as nerdy as he is.
shes a try hard and a super nerd so bad its almost a super power.
I kind of want to switch out but then I would have to take design next semester and I really don't want to.
so I guess I'll just stick with this and hope I don't start talking in constant LOLCATS.
I've reverted to cavemen times in here even though I'm surrounded by computers.
GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
this is so sad.
there are some people in here who spend more time on the computer then me which is really hard to do, apparently Andrew Berard spends all of his available time on "Call of Duty" and only leaves it for bathroom and food.
GOD HELP ME IF THESE NERDS DON'T STOP SNICKERING I'LL BLOW A FUCKING GASKET.
..wtf is my teacher talking about. he rambles so badly, he's talking about.. paypal?buying shit online?idk.
he's really not that interesting. I think he's talking about where we would be without computers.
I am really hungry and I really don't want to start school again but it's better being in grade 11 because people don't walk all fucking over you.
I think this might become a daily thing though I don't know who's gunna want to read me bitch about how much my comp. programming class sucks.

07:59 pm - Me and Sarahs abandoned story
me and Sarah started writing a story but kind of forgot about it.
I think we started doing it around exams so thats why we forgot.
has NO storyline pretty much but I like it.
Leah Paragraph 1 “You and me, we’re so alike. Vastly adored and equally hated. There is no middle ground. We’ve made that painfully clear. We’re everything and nothing at the same time all the while living the lives that keep us alive and appearing to have more then our survival instincts. We yearn to live when we both know it would be for the best to die,” she said, voice not even seeming to leave an echo. It seemed the sound of her voice dared not linger in the now deafening silence that had befallen the twilight faded room. All of the room’s occupants were quiet and unmoving. A stifled cough was the only sound to pass in the following few moments and she was left standing painfully close to the ominous figure that demanded everyone’s view. He was noiseless and his face contorted into a cross between thoughtful reflection and regretful admiration. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he said as his face slipped into a blank stare. She smiled to the surprise of the rooms occupants. They had all expected her to become enraged at the man for being so obviously unreasonable. From her choice of wording she had sounded rehearsed and certainly had thought behind it. But her smile that she regarded him with showed that she knew that he had felt the full impact of what she had said. The way she spoke made everyone feel as if the words were being instantly pulled from her thoughts, and as beautiful as they were, they tore at your heart and made you feel them for what they were. The truth. Sarah Paragraph1 "Please, Helena, I'll do anything!"
The way he emphasized the word ‘anything’ made Helena second guess everything she had just said. Her need to rebel unleashed itself despite how hard she had to push herself to finally end this, this... whatever she had going on with Elliot. The human, she had to remind herself.
"Anything?" She assured mischievously.
"Yes, anything. I'll... I'll run away, I'll work seven jobs, I'll cut off my foot, I'll-," Helena stopped him, stepping closer and pressing her slender finger over his chapped, dry lips.
"Come with me," she whispered, running her hand down his chest. His shirt was thin and she could feel his heart beating rapidly through it. She almost stopped herself, not wanting to get Elliot into this mess. She knew he loved her but not even he would accept her if he knew the truth, this way she didn't have to be the heart breaker. Leah Paragraph 2 “What was that? That was complete and utter jabberwocky; But your whole existence is jabberwocky isn’t?” she spat as if her words were venom.

09:26 pm - Summer tiem.
summer does really funny things to me sometimes.
it makes me really borderline and bipolar.
I believe it's from lack of human contact.
I am becoming more and more fandom addicted and I'm a tad frightened.
like really.
I never thought I'd be this obsessed with my fandoms but I guess things change.
I am SOOOO in the mood for a shrek movie marathon and reading tithe: a modern fairytale series right now.
srsly, conflict of interests much!?
I hate it when my parents forget about me.
it ruins my day.
lol another weird thing about summer is that me and my brother get really close.
like, right now we are like, video game best buddies.
jet set radio future, rockband and myst III:Exile brought me and my brother closer together XD

Nolan(my cousin): What side am I on?
Leah: What?
Nolan: well I'm usually on this side but I dont know what side...
Leah: Umm.. I dont know..
Nolan: Am I on this side?
Leah: Maybe?
Nolan: or am I on this side?
Leah: Yes. You are on that side.
Nolan: This side?
Leah: yes.
Nolan: or this side?
Leah: Um.. yes.

Nolan: OHHHHHH! I'm in the MIDDLE.
