Yeah, I like one or two of his songs, though he's not exactly my favourite.
Er, something like 2:40PM. Then it takes something between 20 to 30 minutes to get back home unless there is heavy traffic. Of course that's on normal days. During the exams and the last term, school ends at 12:30PM.

2:40! I go out at 1:45... then I get home around 3 PM because the buses leave at 2, and when I get to my stop we go and pick up my sisters from their school, which is my old school which I don't like. But I leave pretty near to school. Some of the kids get picked up by the buses at 5:45 am or something so they won't get caught up in traffic... and still they arrive at school at 7:15 or so... before me, but still...

OMG IT WAS AMAZING!!!
So amazing, Scott Weiland is such a presence on-stage, such a presence! And he was so glam looking, you know the Slither video, where he's wearing those glitter pants?! He wore one of those tonight. He was just great, huge sex-appeal concentrated in only one person, I don't think I've ever felt like that about anyone on-stage. It made me want to be a groupie for tonight. The concert was amazing, it was pure, it was raw, it was brutal, it was huge, their sound is so great and pure and involving at the same time. So much energy flowing out from everywhere.
I loved the concert. I'll write a review tomorrow on the proper topic, I need to go to bed. I know someone who'll wake up voiceless tomorrow
The man of the evening! AND GO STONE TEMPLE PILOTS!! (there were like, 5 STP fans there.... in the middle of thousands of Guns ones
*melts*

Concerts must be so great. My best friend's going to a Yes!/Dream Theater one this week, and she's really excited... Er... I never listened much to Guns 'N' Roses. Or Stone Temple Pilots for that matter. But I do know they have amazing skills when it comes to playing. ;D So, *did* you wake up voiceless?
Johnny Ramone died this week, during my long weekend holiday. He was 56 years old. He was suffering from prostate cancer, and perhaps it's better this way so he won't suffer anymore. So, out of the original 4, now only Tommy's still alive. We'll never forget the Ramones

I don't know about Guns, they always sounded a bit lame to me. I like Sweet Child of Mine, but I always associate the band to November's Rain and that song's a bit terrible. As for Stone Temple Pilots, oh yeah. I found my grunge reference, really. After trying Alice in Chains, Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Soundgarden, Scott Weiland made me find the one.
I'm having my first nose bleed. ;D You go, cold!
So school already began. It's been OK so far, I'm not having as much homework as I thought I would, I'm kinda doing stuff on my own free will. Reading stuff and making exercises and all. I'm determined to raise my average score from 12 to 15, and I have to make it. 12 doesn't guarantee me in any Uni, while 15 is kinda in the middle. So... working won't cost much, I don't have many subjects this year and only two troublesome ones. Maybe 3, I don't know about Psychology, but I haven't been having doubts so far. The teacher is a bit psycho though, she's just so dumb. She says teen magazines are psychologycally good for us! I mean... what?
Nothing more to say. This cold is bringing me down again though I'm feeling a bit better. I slept with my mum tonight and I believe she's got it now.

I don't hace school on Tuesday. Of course, I have to attend some stupid ecology congress instead, but that's ok... Because Tuesdays are the days I'm not with my friends in my classes, and in the congress I can be with them, so I'll only be all alone on Thrusday next week. I can't wait until next semester to change that. I can't believe you're just starting school... I'm already starting 2nd report exams this week. And for the record, my first report average was... 85.87. Excellent. Everyone in the world should be listening to My Chemical Romace. I mean it. They are my brand new obsession. Pearl Jam is great. Nirvana's cool. Soundgarden rocks. If you like Stone Temple Pilots better than them, I must check them out... Teen amgazines are stupid. That's all I have to say,

You're kidding? Me neither. It's a national holiday around here... though I can't remember why. Though I'm sure it has something to do with the Republic. I'm such a little patriot... to me our History lost interest when the Monarchy ended. I'm not having school tomorrow either because the staff decided to close it since Tuesday was a holiday. Unfortunately my father wants to spend the day with me. Which is funny, since he never does that. I bet he's sleeping in 'till 1 and sit around the sofa all day while I get bored because I didn't make any other plans because he told me not to.
I don't like Pearl Jam that much because every song sounds the same. Listening to one or two at a time is good. Listening to a whole CD gets boring. But you know, I love Man of The Hour. It's one of my favourite songs.
Yeah, they're terrible, I know! And she said something like "you know those teen magazines that are so appropriate for your age? you know those cute little tests you do the crosses on and get so happy with your results? they're very clever". I mean, w00t? Has the world gone mad? She's unique really, we mock her so hard at class. A friend of mine who's always very quiet in class paying attention even said "I don't even come here to pay attention, I come here to laugh". Last class the four of us laughed so hard the teacher even started to look at us in a weird way. She says "conssiencia" instead of "consciencia" (I don't know if the word's the same in Spanish but if it is you'll get the thing). Another clever phrase was, instead of "nascemos, crescemos e morremos", "nassemos, cressemos e morremoss". You know how it is having 31 students laughing and the teacher not getting why? Oh well.
I'm watching a boring movie. My mother's loving it. I don't even know the name. I want to watch House of Sand and Fog instead but noo.

Tomorrow starts my second week of school. I'm already wishing for it to end. Good thing is, it seems I only have 10 weeks excluding holidays till my exams in February, and then another month after that of school. The Easter holidays start around end of March so that will be my last time in school. Because then I'll spend every day at home studying hard, and will only go to school if I have a problem with anything I'm studying.
I don't have very much time to listen to music, sadly, though I did manage to listen to some on MTV today. They were doing songs from the 90's, the time when I very rarely listened to music.

Current Music: Early Sunsets over Monroeville - My Chemical Romance Well, I finish my 3rd semester in November, then finals in November/December, and then, in January, that will be it for my first half of prep school. I'll be in the top half. I'm not sure I want that to happen, I'm too young to be going off to college or something.
Yeah, it's the same word... Your teacher is both funny and weird.
You know what's great? My Chemical Romance's video for "I'm Not Ok (I Promise)" You can get it from PunkRockVids.com, that's where I got it from. It's as if it were a movie trailer... Plus I love the starting dialogues... "...Face it, you're never gonna make it" -"I don't wanna make it... I just want" he doesn't actually say the word 'revenge' but you can totally tell from watching the video that's what he wants... The song lyrics are ok, but they're not their best or anything.... Ah well. Also Taking Back Sunday's "Slowdance on the Inside." Great song.
I don't really like MTV. Ok, the truth is I hate MTV. Except for 120 minutes, the most amazing show ever.

I started listening to music in the 90s. ;D Well, stuff I liked that is. It started with The Spice Girls, then with Hanson. I believe Hanson were the first band I really liked... I still listen to them from time to time when I'm in one of those special moods. They're the only band from that type I still listen to. No more Spice, no more BSB.
I was gonna post something longer but then The Pink Panther started and I just had to go and watch it. Oh well.

Er... I liked the BSB in the late 90's... then, thank god, I stopped being 11 years old and silly about music. Rita, I mean it, you better go download that video now.

No no no *struggles, kicks, slaps* Talk about pertinence!
I went to their concert. It was my first concert ever. I remember screaming "I Love you Nick" on top of my lungs and no, I'm not proud of it. But I admit, it was a great show. But I'm sure that if Hanson ever came here (which I doubt, they never did in 7 years and it's not now that they're only known in the US that they're coming) that I would go. I really would. To remember the old days, to see those kids (kids...) I used to be obssessed with and sing out loud those lyrics that brought me so much happiness. And you can't deny that some of their lyrics are great. I still love Weird a lot.
I like The Smiths' Please, please, please let me get what I want a lot, you know? A lot really.
So a little bird told me you passed all your subjects Congratulations, girl! I hope I pass all of them two on my first "wave" of tests. I'm sure I will. (I HAVE TO ).
What was that we were talking about earlier about hoodies? When I had to go to sleep?

Hoodies. Yesterday. But it was because I had to go... you were about to go to sleep, but still, I left first. I have my red hoodie right here on my bed, and I wish I could wear it, but it's not cold today. Maybe tomorrow. At school, the coldest place in the world.
I never went to a BSB concert. They're coming here this month. Which is creepy.
Thanks. I failed art, but the grade doesn't count or appear until the end.
Hoodies are the best.

Yeah you said something about hoodies being punk, which is making me check them out to see if it's the same thing I have.
Oh so that's a hoodie. Because I have a black pretty Fred Perry jacket that looks like a hoodie with a zipper on the middle and one of those things on the back and it's not punk at all. Well maybe it could be if that was my style. But it's pretty Indie I dare say I love it, I wear it a lot in Autumn. For Winter I have one of those long black coats with buttons... which I don't know the technical name of.
I need new pants. I love my jeans and my bordeaux corduroy pants but I need something else... I think I'm going through another change of style phase. Or maybe it's just Autumn and Winter that makes me want to wear black and DocMartens. ;D
My father wants to spend tomorrow with me. Which is kinda creepy taking the fact that we've been fighting a lot and that I can't stand him. I think that saying that he wants to spend the day with me is an excuse to sit around the house all day doing nothing avoiding work. Yes, he's selfish like that. But... argh. Yes, the situation around the house is upseting me, though it's not directly connected to me.

Yeah, hoodies are punk. Or can *be* punk, depending on what you're wearing it with. I don't dress in a punk style... I wear more of an indie-emo-punk style, achieved almost entirely with regular preppy girl casual clothes I find around my closet. Don't look at me like that. It's how I dress. Only in winter though. In summer I look like one of the pack, 'cause I can't layer, and layering is what gives me my amazing nancy look. Seriously, I must move to a place with longer winters.
And I think I'm changing my style too. Sometimes, I even wear pants other than jeans.
Life is insanely crazy.
