Catch-a-fire

I wish I would've started typing my travels in Mexico.  I started on the 30th and I have written nine pages(that's rather slow, I could've written much more but I've only been writing the minimal) and I'm only on the fourth day of the 25 day trip.  I have been leaving out an awful lot as well.  It's hard.  I wish I would've typed it at the beginning but I'd rather keep writing in pen since I started that way.  
I'm actually enjoying the free and careless rest of my summer.  I am working on some schoolwork, but lately it's only been English and there are three or four courses that I should be working on.   I like being able to lounge around and read library books, write about Mexico, and just do whatever.  I only want to go back to school so that I can really get to work on the rest of my schoolwork and get it all over with.  I also don't go anywhere, I just stay home, so going to school will at least take me to a place where I can focus on my graduation work.  I feel more focused than usual, so school is no longer going to be playtime...it's business time and it's time to get done what I need to get done.
The excerpts for all-state orchestra were released very recently and are available for me to download and start working on...I think I'm gonna give it a shot this year...I need to work hard anyway because maybe I can get a violin scholarship somewhere.  It would be helpful! 

I am currently in the process of journaling about my journeys in Mexico the past three and a half weeks.  It's going to take a long time.  I didn't really write all that much yesterday, but I wrote about two pages and I'm still only on the day of our flight.  It would make a whole lot more sense to type my journal or something, but since my real journal is a notebook, I went ahead and started writing about my trip in pen.  As I said, it's going to take a long time.  I learned a lot...not just Spanish, but about people.  
In Mexico people are allowed to burn music and sell it in the streets.  While I was there, I picked up some of Eminem's music.  (I paid about $1 for one and $1.50 for the other...the first one didn't have "Mockingbird" and "Just Lose It."  I really needed to hear those).  He's vulgar and there are things I don't like about his lyrics, but Eminem is good.  Really good.  He can make you laugh...or cry, or angry.  He can make you get up and dance.  A lot of his songs move me, but one of the first on the CD that really did so was "The Way I Am."  It's just really powerful.  When I write lyrics, I want to be able to move people like him.  I'm probably gonna be writing more on paper than I have been lately.  I come up with ideas for lyrics everyday but I never write them down.
Well, I'm off to write about my trip and hopefully get started on some schoolwork...I have a lot to do.

I've just done some major work to my journal and user info.  I've decided that I want to use this a little more than I have been.  My layout before this was "A Novel Conundrum," and I actually haven't been using that layout for very long, but I thought it looked really cool and I was going to keep using it, but then I looked at layouts again and found this, "Nebula," and I think it's totally sweet.  I've spent over an hour today trying to get my journal to look the way I want it.  I deleted most of my old posts, changed my user info a little bit, and of course changed the layout and theme.  I don't think I'm finished yet, but I just posted to say, "I'm baaaaack .."  and that I'll probably be posting a little more often, so keep an eye out for my posts.  I hope that everyone is doing well!

Ground Rules: The first player of this "game" starts with the topic "5 weird habits of yourself" and people who get tagged need to write a lj entry about their 5 quirky habits as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next 5 people to be tagged and list their names.

1.  As Aleah likes to smell soaps, I like to smell pages.  Pages as in books, magazines, letters .. anything.  I love walking into a bookstore and smelling all of the books.  I smell letters when I open them because every person has their own unique smell from their letter/envelope.  I smell textbooks, new books, magazines, anything and everything. 

2.  I am obsessed with a band called dc Talk.  (I really need more posters of them to put in my room!)  Actually one of my fondest memories (or collection of memories) with one of my best friends is back in the day around 4th and 5th grade, when I would be all up in her face saying, "Down with the dc Talk .. d-d-down with the dc Talk .. are you down with the dc Talk .. "  are YOU down with the dc Talk?!

3.  Sometimes when something reminds me of a basketball player's name, I can just start talking about the player and then one thing will lead to another .. kind of like this .. the number three reminds me of Allen Iverson, who plays for the 76ers.  Allen Iverson won the scoring title last season the NBA, as well as the MVP of the 2005 All-Star game.  Chris Webber was a late season addition to the Philadelphia squad, who along with Kyle Korver, Sam Delembert, AI, and Andre Iguodala, the other AI, tried to finish the 2004-2005 season strong, although their season could never be compared to the season they had in 2001, when they took a trip to the NBA Finals to take on Kobe, Shaq, "Fish," Rick Fox, Phil Jackson and the Lakers.  Phil Jackson is now the head coach of LA, after taking a one year break since the nasty loss in the 2003-2004 NBA Finals against the Detroit Pistons.  Rudy Tomjanovich, formerly the head coach of Houston, was last year's Los Angeles coach.  Larry Brown was the head coach of the Pistons squad that defeated the seemingly unbeatable Lakers, and was also the coach of the Philadelphia team that lost the 2001 Finals series 3-1.  In the 2000 season, LB was the coach of the Indiana Pacers, who also took a trip to the Finals, and also lost to the Lakers.  LB finally won against the Lakers in '04, but then lost to San Antonio the following season in the Piston's second consecutive trip to the Finals.  LB is now the head coach of New York, who has a superstar guard similar to AI (although not quite as good or popular).  whoops

4.  dc Talk!

5.  I like to laugh at and create stupid lyrics to songs that are popular, whether they're songs that I like or dislike.

well, as far as the five people go, practically half of the LJ users that I know have already done this haha .. 1.  Sawah!  2.  Becky  3.  Kat if she even reads this  4.  the dude who races and is in the military or something and I can't remember his name -- 5.  um .. .. can't think ..........  kelly?  if she reads this? 

okay

bye ya'll
