Oh really? Well it is nice to have, but I certainly survived without it. Up until Friday I just watched everything illegally online! I haven't seen Arrested Development yet but I've heard really good things about it and it is in my instant queue! Oh yay! Well living with your parents isn't too great, but I bet you're excited to go back home! Well I mean yeah, there is a lot of beautiful stuff here, but most of us hardly do any exploring at all. I loooove exploring, but my parents hardly want to leave the east coast so I don't get to do much! Oh I love toads and frogs and such :) I used to have a pet frog named Darwin and he was adorable! But he died quite a while ago unfortunately. He wasn't poisonous of course, that would've been a problem! Awwww thank you :) there are a lot more, those were just my favorites. Obviously I wasn't going to put my friend's whole Facebook album on here.

You have a thing for the alternative sound for vocals. I think they sound too much like the beetles...which is a bad thing. haha. I'm very picky. i'll check out the new list here in a little bit. Gotta enjoy me some Pendulum, who happen to be Aussie.

DJ Shadow-- that was interesting. I didn't hate it. But there wasn't really enough going on for it to be something I would really enjoy. The Avalanches--I noticed there were cows at the top of the list of videos on the right. Not cool. Not cool at all. But I've heard this before. And right up my alley. Of Montreal--I was liking this until the horrid vocals. The Knife--I liked this. Fever Ray--I like this. Labradford--Really like this. Mogwai--Not for me. Architecture in Helsinki--Not for me. Sufjan Stevens--Not for me either. horse the band--what. the. hell? Pavement--I'm not much of an alternative fan. Dan Deacon--I'm noticing an animal trend here.... The Books--Not big on the cutlery sound. Animal Collective--see what I mean? Throw in a better singer and this would be okay.

Well, I've done a couple interviews and heard back from one, but I am not working there, so yeah. I don't have a job. I was offered a 3-4 days a week babysitting job this summer for these two girls so if nothing else I'll have that, and the mom pays well so I'll be getting at least $150 a week. But I'm hoping something works out sooner! Haha well, I have never heard of licking an ant's butt, but then again we Americans are a lot less adventurous. That sounds so fun :) I haven't been to a concert in a little while, I've been too busy. It sucks! I'm going through withdrawal! Okay so I got Netflix on Friday (and I share it with a friend so I only pay $4 a month!), and I've been watching a lot of things, and I just started Sons of Anarchy - it is so good!

Sorry I'm so late with this! I've been super busy. But I think everything has calmed down now, hopefully. Well, I am very very very jealous of this trip of yours. It sounds so amazing. I think I'll have to add visiting the jungle to my bucket list! But you licked the butt of an ant? Why, exactly? Haha exactly, I'd love reading to little kids and I'd put on my fake angry face for when people return stuff late. Well, I s'pose that's what happens when you're 9 years older than me! And the link didn't work, but I looked the song up. I liked it a lot :)

Hiyaa! Well I actually have three job interview scheduled, but I don't want to work at any of those places, so I'm just using those as practice. I am almost guaranteed a job at this library near my house, and I could definitely see myself working there since I love reading, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Well thank you :) okay okay, I'll probably do the recording of my voice, but I'll have to wait until I have some free time and I'm home alone. You have a lovely voice by the way! Oh I'll definitely check those songs out! We're having some major computer issues, too confusing to explain, but yeah I'll listen to those soon. Yaaay, a jungle sounds like it would be soo fun to visit! I love manatees, they are adorable! Crocodiles, not so much, but they are cool. SCUBA DIVING IS SO MUCH FUN. I haven't done legit legit ocean scuba diving, but I did it in a huge lake by one of my friend's grandparents' house in Michigan, and it was absolutely amazing. It would be spectacular in the ocean!

Hehe well I hope you're right about that! I'm sure if I get the chance to interview then I'll be fine, but since the economy is so bad not many places are hiring! I'll keep my fingers crossed. I really want this job at a kid and baby clothes store, because I think little kids are adorable. But I'll take anything! Oh well yeah, looking for a job on your iPhone could be difficult! I tried it on my iPod once and it annoyed the crap out of me, I gave up quickly. I WISH I HAD AN IPHONE. The main reason I want the iPad mini is because I want to Facetime with people, but an iPhone would work fine for that and I'd also have an awesome phone. Wow, 30 hours? That beats my record! But sleep is good so there's nothing wrong with that. You need to get better! (:

I've been really busy with school and I've applied to like 30 places the past few days because I really want a job! I'm dying for an iPad mini and the only way I'm getting one is if I buy it myself! So, I'm horribly jealous of this trip you're on. It sounds magical! But I'm sorry about the seasickness and cold! Hopefully you feel better soon so you can completely enjoy this trip of yours! :)

Getting synced would be cool :) although I just finished the first season. But we could work it out! I've been watching it with my mom haha which is aaaawkward! I'll have to look up these places later (I'm on my iPod at the moment since I'm still in bed) because they sound gorgeous! I've never used a lasso before, but I have rode a mechanical bull, and although I was horrible at it I had a lot of fun! Oh I've heard of the Magnetic Islands! Seeing a reef would be sooooooo cool, but jellyfish not so much. You really are having quite the adventure (: oh gosh, snoring drives me crazy! Good luck with that!

Hello! :) All of the places you've been to sounds lovely, even Byron Bay! Well it looks lovely based on Google images, but the loud people sound horrible, so maybe it's not so lovely after all. Nimbin looks like a lot of fun! It looks like a great place to spend Christmas. You had a great Christmas! Well minus the not getting lucky part, but oh well, at least the rest of it was great! THAT IS AWESOME! I've done it too, but it wasn't in the wilderness or their natural habitat or anything. It was in this Australian zoo that my family stopped at after we went cave exploring in Kentucky (the most random state ever), and the zoo itself was actually pretty true to nature, and it was lots of fun!! And I'm very appreciative of you preventing the end of the world! I'm very happy to be alive today, thanks! My Christmas was good, lots of time with family and everything. And tonight will be fun!! So happy new year! (unless it already happened where you are, in which case we're in different years!)

I'd never actually heard of NAMBLA before but I googled it and wow I can't even believe something like that exists! But hey, it's 'murica! Haha well I've obviously never been to either one so I'm not sure who to believe here! Oh I know, and the fact that some of the kids can have such a bright outlook on everything does make it a little easier to bear. If they could go through something that horrible and be so brave then we should be able to be brave about it too. I did see a picture of a letter one of the kids who died apparently wrote to his mom while he was locked in a room that I guess the killer later broke into (I don't know all of the details of course) and I can't remember exactly what he said but I know some of it was him saying how he loves her and how he's sorry he wasn't a good son and sorry that he wasn't happy. And he finished it by saying that he loves her from heaven and I cried so hard. It's so heartbreaking to think that these kids will never get the chance to live.

I know, America is so much worse when it comes to violence. But that shooting in Norway was oh my god beyond horrible. I just hate hearing about shootings, it makes me so sad :( I understand some people wanting a single, simple gun for self defense, especially if they live in really bad neighborhoods. But not everyone should be allowed to have one, and it is way too easy for just anyone to get ahold of one (or really as many as they want). Guns need to be extremely regulated. People say that making gun laws stricter wouldn't help, but that's bullshit. Compare America's gun violence with anywhere that has stricter gun laws, and there you go. All the evidence you need that we are just fucked up. And in this case, it didn't matter what kind of gun he had, because it was an elementary school and nobody, let alone the 20 kids and 6 teachers who were killed, were not going to have weapons because it is illegal to carry firearms in a school, so nobody was going to fight back.

Again, I can't even tell you how jealous I am that you've been to Iceland! It looks like such a lovely place. And yeah, I'm a lot more outgoing with friends.

And yeah, the way a person looks at you can be sexier than pretty much anything! I know a lot of guys like seeing shoulders, and I actually get that a lot. I always figured it's something that guys would like since it's so graceful and all. I don't have any certain set of standards for guys, what I like varies widely. My favorite part of a guy's body is his chest, I don't mean that I like six packs because I really don't care, just because they're such wonderful pillows :) You're just spoiled with traveling! Although I'd imagine it would be better with friends. Oh ew, I hate 100 degree weather! I love the cold. Oh I love Alien! Such a classic movie. I didn't like Independence Day much at all.

Oh I was going to see Looper a couple months ago on opening night with a friend but we got there five minutes late and the whole theater was completely full! So we saw Taken 2 instead which was still pretty awesome. Never got around to going back to see Looper! Hmm, I don't think I've heard of The Watch or Attack the Block!

That's pretty much all there is to know about how he looks. Very cuddly! Being allergic to dogs really sucks :( I really wanted a golden retriever but I can't because they shed so much. I really am not a fan of chihuahuas or yorkies either! They aren't cute in the least! I'd also like to have a cat but I'm even more allergic to them than I am to dogs. Allergies suck.

Yep, having to take care of a kid constantly could start to get really annoying (which scares me if I ever do have kids), because I know kids can be needy. I like doing it occasionally though. Awww! That is precious! Kids can be so adorable :) And that's a pretty awesome kid then! Was this an accurate drawing or just stick figures? I mean either was it's pretty badass, I'm just wondering. I personally can do no better with people than stick figures, I'm more of a design person. Oh well I would much rather be snuggling with a person! I mean snuggling a dog is kind of one sided, all they do is lay there while you're holding them. Being held too would be a lot better. He's a poodle mix! There was that picture of me and him in the picture thread a while ago, remember? He's quite fluffy :) I'm allergic to labradors and dalmatians unfortunately :( Maybe I will try sending it to an artist! Which one do you think?

And when I'm sick I'll admit I do like to have someone to take care of me and make me soup and put movies in and everything. Snuggling would be quite nice too (like really really nice) but it's not really an option for me, so I just squeeze my puppy all day instead :) I don't mind taking care of kids at all, I really like them!

Well that is very good, it's always nice when people are good listeners/readers. It makes me feel like what I'm saying isn't quite as boring as I thought! This is true, and I suppose I do get distracted by things easily too, but different types of things. And I totally understand that, I need time to myself too, but my idea of time to myself is doing something just myself and not involving any type of communication. So the twitter kind of ruins the whole thing. But whatever, it's not really that big of a deal. I don't hold grudges, especially just over something like this, so it'll all be good. On another note, I dyed my hair Monday night! It's not superrrr different, but it's darker and has more red in it. I'm still getting used to it but I think I like it a lot!

Well one guy in particular I'm really close to. He usually always texts back and is usually quite talkative but every once in a while he just stops texting and goes and plays video games (while tweeting from his phone, so it's not like he's too busy to use it) and it drives me crazy.

Oh that's cool, where are you going? Oh I don't expect guys to be all smooth and super nice about breakups, they're not easy things and it's best to get them over with as soon as possible. But saying mean or hurtful things is just never ever a good idea. Even if you don't like the person much anymore, don't say that! Just simply say you don't think the relationship is working out. Well I thankfully don't have nearly as much to cram as I thought. I still have a week before my first one so I'll be fine. These finals don't matter a ton, but I want to do well on them.

Oh that would be super creepy!

Yep I was the same with that 24 show, I started watching it last winter break and got hooked almost immediately. I watched the first season in 2 days, which is no small feat since each season has 24 hour long episodes. What an amazing show though! I don't think I've ever seen dexter but I know a lot about it. Haha I bet you're right! I'm in bed now and I've already heard several creepy noises from the hallway outside of my room. I just hope I fall asleep fast! I really like that song! But I almost always hate covers of songs, with only a few exceptions. They're usually really lame! Aliens are a convenient excuse for pretty much anything that goes wrong. It's great.
