It's been a good 2 days of TV (if I were caught up with Psych, it would be 3 days since that's on tonight). How I Met Your Mother and The Big Bang Theory were both excellent (which is good for HIMYM since it's been rather hit or miss lately for me). And, even though I haven't really talked much about it on this LJ (I think I used to on my old one), OMG LOST!!! I can't believe it's going to be finished for good this year. I've been following it since season 1 (But not during the first airing. My mom heard about the show from someone at work, and we watched all of the reruns they aired over the summer before season 2 started in the fall.), so I'm rather sad to see one of my favorite shows end. After all of the insane plot twists though, it's definitely for the best. The fans can only handle so much. XD

Anyways, I'm up posting this early because I woke up early by mistake. I have a class 2 times a week, but it starts at 2 different times. On Wednesdays it's at 9:05, and on Fridays it's at 8:00. This is because it's not 3 times a week, so to compensate, they make one day cover 2 days worth of class. But yeah, I woke up when I have to on Fridays, so I didn't get my extra hour of sleep. :( But at least I have time to eat before I go instead of when I come back, so I guess that's good.

In regards to video games, the Pokémon fandom has been rather exciting lately with the upcoming release of HeartGold & SoulSilver in the U.S., plus the news about a new game that might possibly be Gen V. I ended up preordering HGSS at GameStop when I went to download the "Pikachu-Colored" Pichu (it's shiny, don't try to make it sound more special than it already is Nintendo/Game Freak/whoever decided that XD). I'm paranoid about preorder goodies, and I don't know if Nintendo World gives out the figures at their events or not, so I preordered just to be safe. (Plus my friend was working that day, so she was trying to convince me to preorder. XD) I'm still going to the event at Nintendo World though, but I'm not sure how that will work out for me. I hope GameStop has a midnight release so that I can pick up the games (and my FIGURES @_@), go to NYC and rebuy the games so I don't look stupid at the event, and then I can just return the games at GameStop later to get my money back. Then I'll be guaranteed to have my figures and games, just in a really complicated way. XD;

Then, the game release that I keep forgetting about, Ace Attorney Investigations, is coming out this month. Not sure if I have money for it (most of the money I have right now is for paying off HGSS), but that should be an interesting game to play once I do get my hands on it. However, I'm surprisingly not in a rush to get it. I played the flash demo (Edgey's office had so many references to the older PW games ♥), and I did like it. But I'm not too keen on the whole Logic thing. Plus the character art that I've seen for the new characters all look pretty dumb. They look like they'd fit in with the characters in the AJ games rather than the PW games. I mean, honestly... Edgeworth with that girl? (Whose name I fail to remember right now.) How is that even going to fit into the timeline as far as continuity goes? Isn't AAI supposed to take place at some point inbetween PW1-PW3? If it was set after PW3, that's fine, but I could've swore that I read it was between PW1-PW3.

And finally...

( Another meme, wooooo~ )

See ya! ;)

P.S. This post has been in the making since 8:something-ish this morning. I ended up not eating before going to class. XD; And instead of leaving class right away when it was over, I decided to take advantage of the computers in there. Just like I thought, their internet connection is much faster than the one in the dorms. I'm pretty sure that the cafeteria uses the same connection (because the one in the dorms is called the "Residence Hall Network"), so one of these days I want to go there with my laptop and stalk the place for a booth to sit in so I can have an outlet to charge my laptop with while I'm using it. But 99.9% of the time, there's NEVER a booth available to sit in. So I'd only be able to use my laptop for about 3 hours before it dies out (I have a 17" diagonal screen, so the power gets used up faster than most other laptops that have smaller screens). But yeah, I can't stand how slow the internet is in here. I NEED to be able to go on Youtube and be able to download files that I might need. (The connection here is so slow that I can't even download PowerPoint slideshows that I need to print out for my Art History class. So annoying. >_<)

EDIT: And even after writing all of this, I realized that there was MORE that I wanted to talk about. XD;

Another game that's supposed to be coming out soon (this month I believe) is the sequel to Endless Ocean. I actually really want this game. I enjoyed the first one quite a bit (even though it was so short). I got an e-mail from Nintendo the other day that mentioned it, so I read the description. It seems like they're adding more features to the gameplay, such as being able to help injured sea life and getting chased by sharks and whatnot. And based on the pictures, it looks like you won't be stuck in a tropical area the whole time since there's one that has icebergs and stuff. :D My main gripe with the original was that the map felt so limited, and therefore DIDN'T make the game feel like an endless ocean. So I'm hoping this game corrects that with lots of new locations to swim (I LOVED swiming around in that semi-secret sunken pirate ship area in the first game ♥), and maybe not having those annoying pop-ups that appear when you start to swim outside of the boundaries of your dive zone (or just make the dive zone boundary bigger at least).

The other thing I wanted to mention is the show Accidentally On Purpose, which just started airing in the fall. I didn't bother to watch it until like November or December, but I ended up liking it. So I need to go back and watch the episodes that aired before that. I like most of the cast (but I get annoyed by the sister, Abby, sometimes), and I think it is funny. However, sometimes it feels like Jenna Elfman (who plays the lead female, Billie) has forced humor. I haven't been noticing this as much lately, so maybe she's hit her stride now. But the first couple of times I watched a couple of minutes of it, I didn't like that, so I just turned off the TV and waited for BBT to come on. But yeah, I like Zack and Davis, either separately or together. They're such fun characters, and they have a great dynamic with each other. :)

...And now this reminds me of something about BBT. So I guess I'll put an LJ-cut here for spoilers.

( I don't know why I do this when I know most people will click this anyway XD )

I need to stop making posts like these. It's so unlike me to not babble on endlessly about a random topic. XD; But I actually think this does describe me, so maybe that counts for something?

...and I have no idea how to tag this post without mentioning some other thing. Looks like I might have to cave in and make myself a meme tag one of these days. OH NOES! :O

...OOH! How about Psych? Season 4.5 premiered tonight, but of course I couldn't watch it because I never got caught up with season 4 over the winter break. *blames video games of addictive goodness ♥* I guess it'll happen eventually. However, I'm not sure how I feel about it moving to Wednesdays. I liked having something good to look forward to on the weekends. I guess it makes Wednesdays better, but still. It's just not the same. :/ I hope that maybe it'll end up on Fridays again someday.

Only one person will understand the title of this post. You know who you are. ;)

So, first day of the new semester is better than I thought it was going to be so far. My teacher for Drawing for Designers seems awesome (and he looks good too, haha ;P). And in a little while, my parents will be here to take me out to lunch since it's my birthday. :) We had my party on Friday/Saturday, but they still wanted to do something today. So we're going to a Chili's that's supposed to be close by here. That should be good. :)

( SUPER long story about the party )

See ya! ;)

~Melissa~

EDIT: This post has been in the making for hours, so now I'm able to talk about the rest of my day. XD The lunch at Chili's was good. My parents gave me 4 more gifts, so here they are:

- A bag of Krunchers (If you've never heard of them, they are these GODLY kettle cooked chips that we used to buy a lot several years ago, but then we couldn't find them anymore. But now a Foodtown opened up close to us, and they sell these chips.)
- A mousepad of 4 Golden Retriever puppies (SO cute :3)
- A box of Frosted Cheerios
- A DVD of The Sandlot

After that, we went to the Barnes & Noble next door. (RANDOM FUN FACT: I'd say probably 75% of the time, wherever there's a Chili's, there's usually a Barnes & Noble nearby/in the same shopping center/next door. Somebody once told me the same thing about Burger Kings and Hess gas stations, but this theory doesn't seem to hold up as well.) My parents got me a thing to put my laptop on my lap more comfortably. It's a purple plastic board with a purple bean bag-like cushion attached to the bottom. Also, without me knowing, he found a bookmark while waiting to pay that had a purple 'M' attached to it, so he got that for me too.

Then my parents brought me back to school, and I had my last class of the day: Art History. The teacher seems okay, but oh GOD am I going to (probably) be bored. History bores me in general (except for random things along the timeline), and anything art history-related that I've experienced up till now has been a drag too. So yeah, not really expecting much from this class. (Totally random, and actually really mean, but the woman looks like she might be one of those people who has a unibrow, but shaves/plucks it. Not sure why I think that. Maybe the gap between her eyebrows looked too close or something. *can't remember*)

Sooo, I'm on another one of my little Pokéshipping highs right now, so I was browsing through fanart on DA. And in the comments of one of the fanarts, some people were talking about how there's supposedly an episode where they kiss under mistletoe. I just figured they got that mixed up with the song on the Pokémon Christmas Bash CD called "Under the Mistletoe." (Random fun fact! I first heard this song the very first time I went to the Nintendo World Store, back when it was still the Pokémon Center NY. So that was...2003? Wow, time goes CRAZY fast these days. :O)

Anyways, then in the description for a different fanart, the artist also mentioned this "unaired episode." Just for kicks, I decided to do a Google search and see what people were claiming about it. And everywhere you go, nobody knows where to find it obviously. But what I found interesting was how this rumored episode somehow crossed over to the Advanceshipping side, so some think it's Ash/May while others think it's Ash/Misty.

Why am I even posting about this? Well, it reminded me of a trick I fell for when I was little (just like people are still doing now in the case of this nonexistant episode). Back during the Johto seasons, I was on pojo.com reading episode summaries, and one of them claimed that when Ash got his 6th badge, he supposedly kissed Misty. So I got all excited, and waited several months for the episode to air. And when it did, and when nothing happened, I was all, "...huh? Where's the kiss? D:" And then I checked pojo.com again and that part of the summary wasn't there anymore. So yeah, I was duped. XD;

Even though it's annoying when it happens to you, I think it's a good lesson for shippers to learn. You realize at a young age that you can't trust everything you read on the internet, so you learn where to find good sources that only post the facts. Then you won't get tricked again by the people that keep spreading those silly rumors. ...unless if you're just really gullible and keep falling for those sorts of things. ^^;

I think I'm done rambling now. XD

See ya! ;)

This has officially made me realize that I absolutely NEED to update my icon roster. Not all of my current fandoms are represented, and there's not enough variety. I really had to stretch my answers on some of these (such as saddest, angriest, and sexiest), and I couldn't even answer one of them since I don't think I have one for it. XD;

Anyways, as usual, this was stolen from Jen because she's a meme-finding champion~

I hope everyone had a good Christmas this year! :D I was expecting mine to be a little lackluster this year for some unknown reason, but it ended up being better than I thought. :)

As I usually do, here's the recap of the things I got as gifts:

Video Games

- Kirby Super Star Ultra
- The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks
- The Legendary Starfy
- New Super Mario Bros. Wii
- Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story

DVDs

- UP!
- How I Met Your Mother (Season 4)
- Psych (Season 3)
- The Big Bang Theory (Season 2)
- Dodgeball

Other

- Money/checks/gift cards
- Food/candy
- 2 scratch-off lotto tickets
- A metal Slinky Jr.
- A Sudoku book
- An Aussie hair de-frizzer tube thing
- 2 balloon craft kits
- A 2010 calendar of The Office
- A second Shinx plushie (which you can view here)
- A New Super Mario Bros. t-shirt (which you can buy/view here)
- A poster of the U.S. with the liscense plates of all 50 states (which you can buy/view here)

Since there's some stories behind a couple of these gifts, I'll explain those here:

Shinx Plushie - So, awhile ago (probably a year or more by now I guess), I was at Toys R Us or Target (I forget which store) browsing through the Pokémon toys, and I found a Shinx plushie. I adore Shinx, and just HAD to buy it. It's so freaking cute. ♥ I must've just gotten REALLY lucky, because I've never seen that plushie for sale ever since then, and probably for 2 good reasons: 1)it's probably one of the most popular 4th gen Pokémon from what I've noticed online & 2)compared to a majority of the Pokémon plushies that Jakks Pacific have made, this one is very well made. Anyways, after I buy new Pokémon plushies, I normally put them on one of the shelves on my nightstand, but I ended up choosing to sit the little guy on top of my computer monitor, and it's been there ever since. When I started college, my parents took notice of the fact that the plushie looks like it's guarding my computer until I get home on the weekends. XD So apparently, they decided I should have another "protector" for my laptop in my dorm room. So now I'm the proud owner of 2 Shinx plushies. :)

Liscense Plate Poster - One time when my dad and I were out shopping, we stopped at Michael's (I don't remember why), and we were browsing through all of the posters they had like we normally end up doing whenever we've gone there. While looking, I stumbled upon this poster and thought it looked AWESOME. I called my dad over, and he thought it looked great too. I wanted to get it, but then we flipped it over and saw the price and knew that it was way too pricey for a poster, so we put it back. I think I've only mentioned that poster in a conversation once since we saw it, and I never expected to get it. So, needless to say, I was surprised when I unrolled the poster from the tube this morning. It's an extremely high quality print, and the paper is also high quality, so I'd say it's well worth the money. We're planning on hanging it up when I go back to my dorm in a few weeks.

See ya! ;)

~Melissa~

Sooo, I don't know if I ever mentioned this or not, but last year in my Graphic Design/Digital Art 2 class we got to mess around with some old tablets that came with mice and pens. I only used it for coloring in my drawings in Photoshop when we were doing our calendar project, so I never actually attempted to draw anything.

However, when my parents bought me my laptop for college, Dell gave us a giftcard (I think it was $50 or $100, but I don't remember) to use on anything on their site. Our original plan was to use it to buy an extra charger, and then maybe spend the rest on other random things. But then it occurred to me that I should try to look for a tablet, and they had several that varied in price. We ended up getting one that used up all of the money on the gift card, so we decided to get the extra charger off Amazon.com some other time.

Anyways, to get to the point, I got this tablet a couple months ago, and I only got the chance to install it tonight. And I must say, I love it lots. ♥ I doodled a couple things with it in Photoshop, and I'm still in the mood to draw. XD This rarely EVER happens anymore, so I think that says a lot about how awesome this thing is. It's too bad that I can't draw everything that I want to draw though, because then I'd totally draw some of the 50,000 things that I've been wanting to draw for the longest time. Maybe I'll go work on a gift that I've been meaning to work on for several months... I still feel bad about it not getting finished when it was supposed to be. But better late than never I guess.

P.S. No, I don't normally sign my name like that. I've just always wanted an interesting looking signature, so I was messing around until I came up with that.

So, I'm done with my first semester of college. YESSSSS!!! Now it's time for me to fucking chill out for a change. Looks like I'll FINALLY have time to catch up with my most favorite fandoms. :D I've been missing out on Psych since like...August. XD;

Speaking of Psych, I won their Twitter contest! :D



@Psych_USA even retweeted my second picture, so it has a lot of views now. XD

Other things I'm currently excited about:

-Patent Pending show(s)! I'm definitely going on the 27th, and I just MIGHT be going again on the 28th. I won't know for sure until the friend who's driving there knows if she has to work that day or not. Plus I still need to ask my parents about that one since it's in Long Island. I'm saving this show as a surprise for the friend that I always go to these shows with since she paid for my ticket as a birthday present when we saw them in January. But in this case, the gift is like 5 months belated. XD;

-Taco bell for dinner! XD (I haven't eaten Taco Bell in quite some time, so I am pretty happy about it. :D)

-THE SPEED GAMERS POKEMON MARATHON!!! If you didn't watch this marathon at all last year, you SO should do it this year. The commentators are hilarious! I'm going to embed the show here for your amusement, as well as my own: The marathon is over.

See ya! ;)

~Melissa~

EDIT: For anybody that doesn't know about what The Speed Gamers do, here's a post from their site about the marathon.

( Weeeeee~ )

I'm an Umbreon. Cool beans. :)

See ya! ;)

~Melissa~

P.S. I'm going to try to make an actual post at some point, possibly next week since my classes are almost done for the semester. (Thank god.) Also, expect a voice post thingy too. I already recorded it last weekend. It's not like my other voice posts because it actually had a purpose. And it's SUPER long, so I'm not transcribing it. XP It'll probably be too boring for you guys anyway, so why bother right? ;P

Sooooo... It's been what? 3 weeks now? I can never seem to keep track of time on here anymore. College eats up too much of my free time, I swear. T_T

I'm backed up with episodes of Psych that I need to watch, which would be ALL OF SEASON 4 SO FAR UGHHHHH. I did watch 4x01 and some of 4x02, but I need to rewatch them since I was distracted by many things while I did. I'm also backed up on concert posts, which I keep constantly mentioning here. But they'll all get written someday I guess...

New Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother tonight! :D Fat Barney = EWWWWW though. Seriously writers. Why ruin a perfect thing? Even if it IS probably only for 1 episode? NPH IS GODLY AND DESERVES MORE RESPECT THAN THAT.

Professor Layton is still made of awesome. I played through Curious Village and I'm almost done with Diabolical Box (minus the weekly Wi-Fi Puzzles since those won't be ending for another few months or so). Once I'm finished with that, I have 3 options:

1. Go back to playing Scribblenauts
2. Go back to playing PMD2: EoS
3. Go back to replaying Hotel Dusk

I'm thinking that I'll do it in the order of 1, 3, 2 since PMD is extremely long, so I'd rather save that for last. :)

And...I guess that's it for this post.

OH WAIT! I lied. I wanted to mention how much I love the end theme for Prof. Layton 2, which is Iris. It sounds so pretty with and without lyrics~ ♥

See ya! ;)

~Melissa~

I really need to start posting more often. It's been close to a month this time. @_@

First off, Jen (mizunosakura) and I totally got to hang out at the Nintendo World Store 2 Sundays ago when the store was having its pre-release event for Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky. So much fun~ I'll edit this post/write up a separate post about that some other time though since it's getting a bit late, and I want to play some more of Professor Layton 2 before I go to bed.

Anyways, I realized last week that every weekend until after November 7th, I will be riding the train to NYC.

October 11th: PMD pre-release event
October 18th: Trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art with 2 of my friends
October 25th: Trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art for my Drawing I class
October 31st: Patent Pending's 1st Annual Pop-Punk Skalloween (technically it's in LI and not in NYC, but we'll be passing through there to take the LIRR, so...)
November 7th: Trip to the Guggenheim Museum for my 2-D Design class

So yeah, that's a lot of train time as you can see. XD But it's cool since I have fun going there. :)

See ya! ;)

~Melissa~

I think it's about time for me to write something new here, yes? :)

Yesterday was another Patent Pending show. Pull the Pin was there too, which made it super fun. :D Now I've got 4 concert posts I need to write up...although I guess technically it's only like 3 1/2 posts since I started writing the first one back in May, but didn't get around to adding in the pictures and videos. Still a lot though, so... XD;

Now I'm just waiting for The Big Bang Theory to start in like 15 minutes or so. I ended up missing How I Met Your Mother because of an issue with my printer, which caused me to have to use one of the school's computer labs. But now I think I may have fixed it, so hopefully I won't have to worry about that problem anymore.

Anyways, after I watch TBBT, I've gotta work on some English stuff for Wednesday since I have like 0 time to do anything on Tuesdays due to my 2 art labs. So annoying. >_< I hope I'm never forced to have such a crappy schedule like this again. 2 of my 3 labs only had 1 timeslot left, so I was forced to take those then. And the other one I had a choice of Tuesday or Thursday I believe, but it doesn't matter because I still would've had a day where I had 2 labs, so there was no getting around it. :(

See ya! ;)

~Melissa~

I feel so bleh lately. Stupid college crap eats up my free time. I was hoping to be able to hang out at my friend's house and go to Gamestop to see if they had the first Professor Layton game, but I didn't get to do either of those things. :( Instead, on Saturday there was a 50th birthday party for one of my dad's college friends. I didn't have to go, but I decided to be nice and go anyway. The buffet was okay-ish, and some of the other college friends were there, so they had amusing stories to share. But it was annoying how we didn't get home till 12 AM.

Then yesterday, we were out most of the day just shopping around for all of the art supplies that I needed for my 3 different art classes. We got most of the stuff, but there are a few other things that we need to order or something. I wanted to just collapse yesterday, and I'm sure my parents did too. I've never had to buy so many different kinds of paper in my life. @_@ And I wish this stuff could've been a lot cheaper. I think it's ridiculous how we spent over $300 for everything we got so far. Seriously, what the hell? I'm probably not even going to be using a majority of these materials ever again, simply because I'm doing GRAPHIC DESIGN. That means COMPUTERS people! The only traditional materials I need for that are a sketchbook and pencils/pens/markers for drawing stuff to be scanned in, and maybe some glue/rubber cement for pasting prints onto paper or something.

So yeah, I'm kinda ticked off about all of the time we wasted buying all of this stuff. Maybe that's the reason why I'm still procrastinating on the assignments for one of my 2 art classes that's due tomorrow. Or maybe it's because I feel so sleepy right now, and my brain just doesn't want to try to function enough to be productive.

See ya! ;)

~Melissa~

Wow, it's been almost 2 weeks since I posted something here. I've got a few bits and pieces to share, so why not?

- I just bought Wii Sports Resort at BestBuy on Sunday, and OH MAN. So, so, SOOO very addicting. I'm a beast at the third swordfighting game (don't remember what it's called at the moment), and I'm really digging the frisbee golf. :)

- Patent Pending boat show was effing AMAZING. ♥ Now that's one more show that I have to make a proper post for on here for myself. Why do I always fall behind on things so quickly? XD;

- Psych has started to air it's 4th season! ...but unless if I'm just a bad fan, I haven't had a reason to literally LOL while watching a new episode. Occasionally I chuckle, but that's it. :( AM I BROKEN OR SOMETHING??? Because when I read what other fans say about it, it all DOES sound hilarious, really! Hopefully this weirdness on my part will go away before the new ep. this week. THEY'RE GOING TO BE IN COWBOY OUTFITS. WHAT'S NOT TO LAUGH ABOUT?

- One of my two guinea pigs, Ginger, passed away sometime between 11:30PM - 2:00AM. However, compared to the death of my first guinea pig, I handled this extremely well. I didn't cry at all, which concerns me a little since I feel heartless for not doing so this time. ^^; But she lived to be 6 years and 2 months old, which is an especially long lifetime for a guinea pig since I've read that the max is around 7 years. So yeah, she lived a good, long life. :)

I totally wasn't expecting something like this when I woke up this morning. It's a huge shock for me, which means it's at least 1000 times worse for my friend. I feel so bad for her right now. :( He was her favorite member by far, and I know that she's taking this pretty hard.

At the very least, I'm hoping that maybe we'll get lucky and he'll be at the show we're going to next week...ON A BOAT! :O But yeah, this show is in NY too, so maybe he might go to hang out. But if the band is going to try to get the fans used to Michael not being there, that might not happen. Who knows?

But to end this on a less depressing note, the video clip of Joe and Michael as little kids dancing at the end of this video was really adorable. ♥ If anything, I think you guys should watch it just for that, because who doesn't get a smile on their face when watching children dance? :)

See ya! ;)

~Melissa~

Seriously, how many more episodes of Endless Eight does TMoHS need? (Don't answer this rhetorical question rend_dx, because I know you'll never get tired of this arc. :P)

The only things that amused me were how Kyon was wearing short shorts and how he had his hands shoved in his pants when he was in bed. XDDD But other than that, I've really had it. I swear, if this show doesn't move on next week (which it damn well better because I think that next week will be the 8th time we've watched this), I'm going to beat the crap out of whoever is responsible for this insanity. I like repetition to some degree (otherwise I wouldn't be a Nintendo fan :P), but this is just ridiculous. NO MORE, NO MAS!

In other news, I'm procrastinating on the rest of the work I have left for my last class for the college 101 course. Woo~

See ya! ;)

~Melissa~

Somehow my Twitter account got hacked between last night and this morning, because I noticed a weird tweet appear that I didn't write. So I freaked out and deleted it. Then 3-4 hours later, a new one appeared. So I followed the directions on their Twitter Support site: I logged out, I cleared my browser cache, I logged in and changed my password.

Then I got an e-mail saying my account got suspended for a week "for cross-posting duplicate tweets across multiple accounts, a violation of our terms of service and the Twitter Rules that we take very seriously." I NEVER DID THIS!

So then I tried 2 routes to get help: a)I filled out a form to fight against my suspension, which resulted in automated e-mails that were of no help to me, and b)I e-mailed their suspension e-mail with my case and still got the same useless e-mails. In both cases, they said to reply to the automated e-mails if there was still a problem, so I did.

I'm REALLY hoping that nothing goes wrong and I get my account back. Seriously, that's 369 tweets that I just lost. :( This feels so much worse than when my Youtube account got deleted last summer, because there are so many fun memories in a good portion of those tweets, such as inside jokes and just random things that happened.

See ya.

~Melissa~

So, I've been on mega hyper Patent Pending spazz mode for the past couple of weeks since their CD release show in Long Island is tomorrow. SO PUMPED FOR THIS!!! :DDD

But yeah, today Joe spoiled us by posting another new song from their album, and I love it SO MUCH. ♥ I've been looking forward to hearing the song ever since he posted about it on his blog.

Later today, my friend and I are baking them cookies like we did for the last show that we went to in May (which I still haven't written about on here yet ^^;).

But yeah, I don't think that I've EVER been this excited for one of their shows. Seriously, I don't think I can handle the excitement anymore. I NEED TO LET IT OUT AND BE AT THE SHOW NOOOOOW!!!

See ya! ;)

EDIT: Hahaha! I love these guys for making stupid stuff like this. ♥

...I just realized that a post I made the other day that I wanted to make private ended up being public. Ugh, I'm so stupid. It's not really embarrassing or anything since I could've cared less if any of you saw it, but it's just that I had no clue it was like that, and it was just personal reference for myself. Oh well. XD;

Anyways, this weekend was actually eventful for me for a change. My friend and I went to a party on Saturday, where we swam practically the whole time, and then the two of us came back to my neighbor's house to swim some more. XD Then the next day, I was planning on just working on the rough draft for my research paper, but instead my parents got me and my friend to agree on going with them to Point Pleasant. The two of us wandered pretty much everywhere on the boardwalk. We went to the aquarium, got on the carnival rides, played golf, etc. Then we tried to get the 4:26 train home to go swimming again, but we didn't make it to the platform in time and the train pulled away, so we had to wait for an hour (which went by surprisingly quick). Then we finally got to swim after getting really sunburnt. Then today I had to cram in the stupid paper. Hopefully I'll find enough sources for the final draft.

See ya! ;)
