Self-portrait meme stolen from... well, pretty much everyone this morning, it seems.

[ishyface]

Take a picture of yourself right now.
Don't change your clothes, don't fix your hair... just take a picture.
Post that picture with NO editing.
Post these instructions with your picture.



I remember in my last year of high school a friend told me that he couldn't look directly at my face because my eyes were too creepy. It kind of hurt my feelings at the time, but... um... I understand now. Helloooo, creepy stalker eyes. (Of course, this was also the guy who told me that I was "like a fish, if fish were really smart." And he was one of my NON-stoner friends, too. So.)

I have less than twenty-four hours to finish an explication du texte for Protagoras, so if I'm around a lot today it's because I am adamantly refusing to do actual work. FIGHT THE POWER. OR, YOU KNOW, BE LAZY. EITHER OR.

Also, I just found a new favourite song: Marching Band- Travel In Time. I have no idea how it ended up on my computer, but I'm glad it did.

Trying real hard to feel something profound
To understand something that they don't
The only thing that I figured out was a face, a frame, I know it by heart
If you know about scales and books and films, it takes some time 'til you know that you're down

We're so happy
So happy to meet you
'Cause you sparkle

And I'm waiting for it to come
And I'm hoping for better times
When it comes, I will open my mouth
I'll write songs to make you cry
And I'm learning how to travel in time
All to make right the things I've done wrong
And when I do, I will open my mouth
I'm going back, back, back in time

A reality show is on every night
The same episode over and over again
Friends become foe since I'm ahead
But it turned out they didn't know my name
A candidate good enough for long enough
I have made sense one too many times

We're so happy
So happy to meet you
'Cause you sparkle

And I'm waiting for it to come
And I'm hoping for better times
When it comes, I will open my mouth
I'll write songs to make you cry
And I'm learning how to travel in time
All to make right the things I've done wrong
And when I do, I will open my mouth
I'm going back, back, back in time

And I'm waiting for it to come
And I'm hoping for better times
When it comes, I will open my mouth
I'll write songs to make you cry
And I'm learning how to travel in time
All to make right the things I've done wrong
And when I do, I will open my mouth
I'm going back, back, back in time
And I'm learning how to travel in time
All to make right the things I've done wrong
And when I do, I will open my mouth
I'll write songs that will make you cry

Spiffin! I'd take a picture, but it'd be on my camera phone and that just will not do.

Also I keep meaning to text you and tell you that Alex-the-Mikeyway-lookalike is in my Production Design class. He has grown his hair out. Niiiiiice. Still probably a stuck-up ass though. He's lucky he's so pretty.

[redheaded-itch.livejournal.com]

Oh, and one of my new favorite songs is "Shirt" by Jawbreaker. Lyrics are as such:

You're in my house
You're in my clothes
No one knows
You're in my head like a dumb song
It just goes
You're on my face
You're on my lips
And it shows

I should be happy and I am
I want you close to me
You're like a simile, like, totally
You're like a metaphor for something else
You're like the ocean floor
vast and cool
You're like a swimming pool
But not as blue
And I fell in
So take my hand
Swim around
Kiss me hard
Until I drown

I wanna be your shirt
I can hug you while you work
I wanna be your wife
You can beat me every night

Our new life
A book to write
Every page is blank
I am sick
Sick of this
Every page is blank
I wanna be your shrink
I'll get paid to watch you think

You should send me that song, I think! I've been in the mood for some old-school emo and all I have is Clarity by Jimmy Eat World. (Which is one of my favourite albums ever, but there's only so many times you can listen to a sixteen-minute song that mostly consists of "ba da ba ba ba.")

[redheaded-itch.livejournal.com]

I don't have the disc with me and I am computerless at home. Why don't you just download it? That and "Jet Black", like I told you to. Or go listen to the Pencey Prep disc I made you. It's soooo bad, but it suffices, no?

[ishyface.livejournal.com]

LimeWire won't let me connect. :( We have high-speed Internet, theoretically, but Mum does not know how to set it up and refuses to ask for help. (And obviously me trying to set it up is right out, because. Um. I break stuff.) Maybe I'll try hitting up sharemusic.

I LOVE THAT PENCEY PREP DISC SO MUCH IT IS AWESOME. AND I MEAN THAT WITHOUT ANY IRONY WHATSOEVER. PEOPLE JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND FRANK IERO'S PAIN. (I'm trying to decide who's more lolarious, Pencey!Frank or Leathermouth!Frank. Probably the latter, since he writes songs about setting girls who won't go to prom with him on FIRE. And has a moustache.)

[redheaded-itch.livejournal.com]

I like both, thanks. Well, I don't really like Leathermouth's sound so much (yet, because that time will undoubtedly come), but the lyrics are fucking awesome.

[ishyface.livejournal.com]

Do it anyway! Camera phones are totally acceptable. (You should take stealth!pictures of Alex-the-Mikeyway-lookalike! Because I'm creepy.)

I KEEP MEANING TO TELL YOU ABOUT RAY TORO THE TWO-BEER QUEER. YOU PROBABLY ALREADY KNOW ABOUT IT AND ALL BUT STILL. RAY MOTHERFUCKING TORO YOU ARE KILLING ME.



NOT JUST CUDDLING. CUDDLING ON THE *FLOOR*.

[redheaded-itch.livejournal.com]

Sure, except the part where my phone makes this giant "ka-CHUCK" noise when I take pictures with it, and so Nathan-the-tech would make fun of me until one of us died.

I have not seen that. I will click when no one else decides to sneak up behind me and watch over my shoulder. Speaking of which, did you know there's a thing up on Buzznet that goes along with the "I Kissed a Boy" song?

[redheaded-itch.livejournal.com]

Oh.

Oh WOW.

Well, I guess not even Ray can resist JDW's sexy bodeh??

...Wow.

[ishyface.livejournal.com]

I KNOW. Ray's gay is so stealthy!

[redheaded-itch.livejournal.com]

If that's stealth, then I'm a fucking ninja.

[ishyface.livejournal.com]

I did not know that! Is it a fanvid or official?

[redheaded-itch.livejournal.com]

Fanvid. Er, slideshow. Lots of boy-touching though.

[redheaded-itch.livejournal.com]

Speaking of, if you want to see Suarez licking Singer, go to Vicky-T's journal RIGHT NOW.

[ishyface.livejournal.com]

VICKY-TTTTTTTTTTTT. THANK YOU FOR TAKING PICTURES OF THINGS THAT HAPPEN AROUND YOU. (Singer's face is so strange! Also, RYLAND HOW ARE YOU TALLER THAN EVERYBODY ESPECIALLY THAT ONE REALLY LITTLE JAPANESE DUDE.)

[redheaded-itch.livejournal.com]

I KNOW, RIGHT???

Also I like her new hair mostly.

[redheaded-itch.livejournal.com]

Am leaving school to find delicious oven subs. Call me, bitchface.

[mresundance.livejournal.com]

This song wants to be a vid. Oh yes. Yes it does. I don't know to what yet.

[ishyface.livejournal.com]

I don't know much about SPN, so I can't really make any suggestions. I'd watch it if you vidded it, though!

[mresundance.livejournal.com]

It's no good for SPN. It's too damn happy. Not enough death.

I almost thought Velvet Goldmine, but that's not working either in my brain.

Maybe . . . Big Fish?

[ishyface.livejournal.com]

BIG FIIIIIIIIISH. I LOVE THAT MOVIE WHOLEHEARTEDLY. (And I could see it working! But in my brain I think a video to go with this song would have to include travel shots and IDR if there are any of those in Big Fish.)

[mresundance.livejournal.com]

BIIIIG FIIIIISH.

I think there are travel shots in Big Fish, and long, landscapey pans of a river, and water, methinks.

[ishyface.livejournal.com]

EEEEEEXCELLENT.

I want to watch that movie now. Films about broken father/son relationships just fucking kill me. (WONDER WHY.)

[mresundance.livejournal.com]

I WOULDN'T HAVE A CLUEBAT, DUDE. NO IDEA.

[redheaded-itch.livejournal.com]

TO MY BANDOM MOVIE OH MY GOD.

Or Almost Famous?

[ishyface.livejournal.com]

I WAS GOING TO SUGGEST THAT.

[mresundance.livejournal.com]

It's been forever since I watched Almost Famous and I wouldn't do it (not that big a fan, really), but you certainly could if you wanted. :D

WHAT IS THIS BANDOM MOVIE? IT SOUNDS IMPORTANT. WE OUGHT TO TALK IN CAPS ABOUT IT.

[redheaded-itch.livejournal.com]

I HEAR YOU ARE BEING CONVERTED TO BANDOM. THIS IS A MOVIE BASED ON THAT. THAT I AM WRITING. FILLED WITH THE GAY. AND ROCK AND ROLL. AND DIRTY MOTEL ROOMS. AND SWEATY BOYS. AND FRENCH BASS PLAYERS. AND GETAWAY SONGS OF THE ARCADE FIRE VARIETY. AND DID I MENTION THE GAY???

[mresundance.livejournal.com]

OMG. TELL US THIS MOVIE WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR MASS DISTRIBUTION, OR, AT LEAST HANDY DOWNLOAD VIA THE INTERNET, SO I CAN FANBOY IT AND VID IT AND MAKE HEARTS IN MY EYES AT IT.

:DDDDD

YOU MENTIONED GAY, RIGHT?

[ishyface.livejournal.com]

DUDE I'VE SEEN PART OF THE SCRIPT. IT'S SUPER GAY. :DDDDDDDDD

[mresundance.livejournal.com]

:DDDDDDDDDDD

[1-2-suckerpunch.livejournal.com]

Geez...why are some genderqueerz (like you) so amazingly hawt, and others (like me) end up looking like lost 12-year-olds?

I am jealous. And enamoured.

[ishyface.livejournal.com]

Aww, don't hate on yourself- I think you're adorable. :)

[sunshinesounds.livejournal.com]

I loves ur eyez. :D That is not a creepy face....I love Kaydee very much, but if she uses this one expression in any circumstance other than playing guitar...it's freaking creepy.

Oh, the joys of two melodramatic people falling for each other. Everything you ever heard about Leos and Geminis...we are.

Also, how are you like a fish?

[ishyface.livejournal.com]

Is it an ~intense guitarist face? Those can be pretty creepy by themselves!

I'm not sure why I am a fish- he never got around to explaining himself. Maybe I can swim up waterfalls?

[sunshinesounds.livejournal.com]

Well, some of her friends call it "Kaydee's Rapist Face". I honestly wouldn't push it that far, but as you may or may not have noticed over the years, I have a continuous thing for musicians and the expressions they make while playing don't creep me out or anything. Kind of like how in dance class seeing scantily clad girls in spandex doing crazy things with their body doesn't either. :P

You must demonstrate this!

[mresundance.livejournal.com]

Hey. I just started listening to this, but I think you might like it.

Fuck the government. In the asshole, man.

[ishyface.livejournal.com]

When it finishes downloading in six hours I shall tell you what I think!

[mresundance.livejournal.com]

Oh wow. Sorry. I have like the world's fastest internet connection evah.

*pencils in the fact of Ish's slow ass connection for future reference*

*and I don't mean it has anything to do with zir birthday*

[ishyface.livejournal.com]

STOP TEASING ME YOU TEASY TEASE.

[escherzo.livejournal.com]

Awww. I like your stalkerfish!eyes, actually. *g*

[ishyface.livejournal.com]

There should be an actual fish called the stalkerfish. It could live in caves at the bottom of the ocean and pop out to surprise scuba divers, then chase them to the surface yelling "I JUST WANNA LOVE YOU."

[escherzo.livejournal.com]

... I really want to draw one now. EPIC.

And now, for a random comment from Kirie.

[sunshinesounds.livejournal.com]

In my geography class we learned about the Frankenfish.

Just sayin'.

Re: And now, for a random comment from Kirie.

[ishyface.livejournal.com]

Frankenfish?

Is it a zombie? *crosses fingers*

[mresundance.livejournal.com]
