Devious New Blog

I’ll still update here every now and then, with actual stories and things but Tumblr will be more for just things I find and things I make.

This video I just came across is amazing! I thought I’dd share it with you.
Here. 

The Author says,

“What you are about to see is a mix of unrelated Youtube videos/clips editing together to create ThruYou. In other words – what you see is what you hear.”

So I went to court today for that ticket I got a while back for driving without my lights on. 

It was seriously the worst thing. I got there and sat in the courtroom and I was getting really nervous and my anxiety was getting really band and I was shaking and convulsing and stuff. I’m sure all the people around me, who seemed calm as can be, all thought I was some kind of weirdo. She would call up everyone one at a time and every time I thought she was gonna call my name and I was just freaking out. I didn’t want to talk to a judge and have her condemn me or any of that. I don’t even know proper court etiquette. I was just freaking out. 

When she finally called me up there she explained my counts and asked if I pleaded guilty or not guilty. At first I said not-guilty because I wasn’t. And I’m not going to go on and on about how not guilty I am, because I’ve done that enough today. There’s a blog you can read on here that talks about it. 

Then after getting talked to by this other lady and sat in the bail office for another hour I finally pleaded guilty, because apparently my traffic school would take down my charges and I wouldn’t have to pay as much as if I were to be not guilty. 

But of course.

How would the legal system make any money off of you if they were honest. After pretty much tricking me into saying guilty I was ambushed by another few charges. So it wasn’t even worth it. I would have paid less if I didn’t show up to court at all and just paid that fine. 

Ugh. 

I hate the way this whole thing works.

 

I’m moving to New Zealand.

I’m feeling kind of gross today. Like I should have used my afternoon for more than playa round on Light-Room and buy my lizard some food. I should have like worked on that video for Summer Fun or like make some rad t-shirt. 

Bleh.. 

Lucky, small groups is tonight. I’ve seemed to notice that small groups is really getting better over the past month or so. I think it’s spring retreat. 

Oh, byyyyy the way… New photos! Mel and I got some photos developed the other day and here’s how they came out! 
So I had to post this link because I don’t understand wordpress’ photo tagging anymore. So the picture’s are right here. 
 
I do love my Vivitar. He is like a brother to me. A very squareular metal brother with a big lens for a face.

Devious Fashion Entrœ

April 27, 2009

So today while I was wandering the internet looking for inspiration I found this fabulous website!

They’re called Look Book NU and it’s like a bunch of people sharing their fashion. I looked a few pages and thought “This is totally for me!” So I clicked the little button that said “Join Look Book”, but when I did it told me that I needed to either be invited or apply to join the website. I guess they need to like screen you over to see if you’re really cool and stuff. 

So I sent them a link to my Flickr, which I would guess is a pretty good representation of my style? Yeah? 

edit: Oh! Speaking of flickr, I just remembered I need to pick up some photos that just finished getting developed. 

I hope they dig it.

I’ll keep you posted.

Devious Formal Entry

April 27, 2009

Well Formal worked out quite nicely. My mom realized that the tux looked pretty bad with the dress and after I talked to her about it we cancelled the tux order and just bought some nicer pants and the whole clothes problem was over. 

Some people probably got some good pictures so I’ll wait for those tagged photos to star showing up on facebook and I’ll try to post them up here. 

The Phantom Tollbooth has got a show coming up! You should come!

Guys.. Formal was really boss. It was just fun. I didn’t think it was gonna be that fun but it was. :) I just felt really cool when I was in the party bus because all the lights and like being dressed all cool and just stuff. It was really fun. I also felt like I was more out-going. I was. Like a lot. I think it was Melissa. Whenever I’m with Melissa I’m just really comfortable and like feeling good. It was really nice. 

I think it’s funny cause most people get really closed up when their around their crush or lover or what-have -you but like I’m just feeling like extra good about myself when I’m with her. It’s really great! I’ve never like felt that before. 

Formal started with us driving over to some Navy base where we ate food. It wasn’t the best chicken but it was good atmosphere. There was a little outside place with a squishy tree and fake grass where a photographer was taking some professional pictures. Psh, whatever. They call anyone with an SLR a professional.  Haha. I don’t really know. The pictures might be good. I wouldn’t know. I just felt like being a little sassy. 

Ok back on track. Then we went to the Hotel dell and ate ice cream and just partied. Then back to the school where the location of the after-party was announced. There we bumped some music and danced and ate some snacks. 

 

It was a long night and Melissa and I were quite tired afterward. 

Then saturday came around and we didn’t do a whole lot other than go to see Publicist.  It was a great show as always with, them. With them and another really dancy funk band Melissa and I got a lot of dancing done and we were dead afterward. 

 

Church was really good today. I loved the worship and just today. Today was a good day. I’ll just walk you through it. Ok?
So it starts like this.. I wake up and get ready to go to church. Then I went. And I learned. Then there was a meeting about a summer camp for little kids I’m gonna be a councilor for. I feel like that word is spelt wrong. Councilor. Hmm…

Then Mel, Noah, and I went to go flyer up Parkway for our bands show and then. We had fun making those at Kinkos. ;) Or “The Kink” Then Derek and Jon met up with us and we hung out a bit. Some girls asked for Noah’s number. But they were weird. Ew. 

This weekend was nice. 

Till next time.

Show Flyer

Show Flyer

Melissa and I designed this poster today for the show.
You all should come!

So after school I went shopping to get a jacket fro formal, the one item I was missing.

When I got that I came home with no more money left. I had used all my spare cash on clothes for formal and I felt like it was such a waste. Like I could have used that money for something better you know? But I guess some things just take money. 

But then it gets worse. Melissa comes over to see how everything looks and we totally dig it. Like it looks nice. We compare it to her dress and it looks great, but then my mom comes up stairs and says, “Is this what you’re wearing to formal? No no no, this won’t work, this doesn’t even match that. This isn’t gonna work out. You can’t wear this.” 

Keep in mind that Most of our spring break was taken up by Melissa and I shopping at stores from Stantee to PB looking for these clothes. We used all my money and all our spring break to get all this and it apparently “can’t work.”

So my mom goes and rents me this ugly tux for another small fortune. And I don’t mean to say that I don’t like a little extra class, but this looks like something a symphony conductor would wear and doesn’t quite fit the occasion. Not to mention it doesn’t fit me at all. 

I just feel like crap you know? I’m complaining right now because my mom spends money on me. I shouldn’t be like this. How ungrateful am I?

Well after Melissa and I go and get all sad because we thought we were done with this we go over to a foothills worship night and my buddy sam prays for me, just about the way I treat my mom and my family and stuff and so that I could me more greatful and I could get a little peace around the house. 

That felt really good. I feel a lot better now. 

It’s gonna be a fun night tomorrow. 

Later

Well…

It turns out I don’t blog anymore. It’s really quite sad, actually, and as of recently I’m not sure I’m okay with it. I think I might need something to let out my otherwise unexpressed feelings. Ya dig? 

Well here’s life so far. 

 

School still sucks. And I still suck in school. I’m pretty sure I’m still gonna graduate, though. I just need to really work on econ. Oh! Thanks for reminding me, I have econ homework tonight. My mom still gets stressed about every little thing, and it still makes me want to die sometimes. On a brighter side of the moon, I’m still in love with my wonderful Melissa. :) So in those respects not a whole lot has changed.

I’m trying to get my clothing company off the ground again. I’m working on a new website, if you wanna check it out it’s right here. It’s pretty basic, but I’m not going for style, I’m going for class. 

What does that even mean?

Anyway. In more recent news, Formals coming up, and I’m really nervous for my outfit. I’m graduation soon, and I’m really nervous for my future. My bands happening ore by playing shows, recording, and the like. 

And ok!

 

I guess I’ll try to keep you guys posted… But who even reads this?

And he does.

Bye!

Well, folks.
I got my first ticket last night.

It was pretty lame. Here’s the story..

So it’s about 4:30 – 4:45 ish. And I’m just leaving Mission Bay to take some photos for yearbook. (not any good ones) As I’m driving I see police lights and stuff behind me and I pull over. Apparently I didn’t have my lights on. It was like 5:30 at that point. The law is 5 so I guess I’m guilty. I could still see, it was bright and sunny out. 

So yeah. Then the officer sees that I am transporting passengers under the age of 20 on a provisional license. So now it’s like double damage. So now, Melissa, my friend Tory, and her friend Amy have to go in the back to the police car to a building a little ways away and meet their parents. On my way over there the breaks in my car gave out and I screeched into the middle of a red-lighted intersection. 

I felt like total crap. 

Later on we got in Melissa’s legal car and went to chili’s with Spencer and Summer. So it wasn’t so bad.

ps: I have a Flickr photostream, so if you liked those pictures from my last entry I’ve got more on there.
