I just caught most of the John Mayer and Brad Paisley Crossroads Special on CMT. Gah, it was amazing! I thought it was a weird match when I heard their names but as soon as I started listening it was perfect. I was literally melting away on "Daughters". Despite it being John Mayer's song, Brad did better. His voice was so silky on it. And I'm so jealous of their guitar skills. Damn. I want to learn how to play like them. I need to buy this special on DVD, find a bootleg or SOMETHING. God damn VCR, where are you when I need you?

I'm going to a "Scrapbooker's Night Out Tomorrow" haha. I think it's also National Scrapbookers Day tomorrow too. lmfao There is a day for everything now. National Have my Cake and Eat It Too Day, Secretary Day, Strawberry Fruit Snack Day, Hanson Day (yes sadly there really is a Hanson Day), National Pick A Flower Day, National Loud Fart Day, Talk Like A Pirate Day, etc. (Please note: Not all of these 'holidays' are official due to the fact that I pulled them out of my ass). I'm digressing. So anyway, it's gonna be cool because they have throngs of scrapbook sheot. Yay.

Crap, I need to study for the SAT. AHHHH. Then like 293848747 school projects. *runs around in circles going crazy* SO...MUCH...STRESS. AAAAAAAHHHH SOMEONE HAND ME MY INFLATABLE ZAC HANSON.

Wooah, Blogger got a new look at it's kinda freakin me out. I like it though.

I went to an OSU orientation today for "High Academic Achievers" (by invite only, how...special), not only did they have really good desserts (Why do I always talk about food?) but I'm really considering going there. I'd like a more in depth campus thour though. And there were some really cute boys there too, might I add. One guy resembled Chad Michael Murray. He was sitting all alone for 10 minutes and I was tempted to talk to him but I didn't want to be like, "Excuse me Mom while I move two rows a head to talk to this incredibly good looking guy." haha

So the US Military is/was abusing the Iraqi prisioners. Why doesn't that surprise me? *shakes head* I heard some guy on the radio the other day comment on how the media was making too big of a deal about it. Well it IS a big deal. When you abuse innocent people (since many of the captive are not guilty) it is not right. I don't care even if it was ONE guy who they are dragging by a dog leash and beating the shit out of him....it is STILL happening. God damn US and their supremecy. I hate our ego. Excuse me, their ego...I refuse to include myself in that. I should just move to Fiji or something. But first I'd have to get a mosquito net.

I broke the 'B' key on my keyboard the other day. :( There was a little piece of Cheez-It under it (here I go talking about food again....) so I attempted to "lift" the key up to reach the crum but managed to break it straight off. There is a way to lock it properly back in place but only the top part does it so the bottom flips up haha. Someone help! I know there is a way to fix it.

Thank you all of my commenters :D (And to Laurie for telling me how to spell Gianluca's name properly. I was trying to add a French twist with the Jean lol).

EDIT// Go read this guy's post about the war. It is just horrible. And the next Nazi Germany goes to...drum roll please!.......THE UNITED STATES *ding ding ding*.

Prom was fuuuuuuun. A little overview:

-Getting ready:
Went over to Sarah's did makeup, hair, etc. She was freaking out about her hair haha. And mine was retarded like usual. Next year I'm getting it done professionally. Her mom took tons of pictures...I can't wait to get them back!

-Dinner:
First off, we had our very own Lincoln Town Car (not ours pictured) and a personal shauffer hehe. It was so awesome! We went to this really awesome Italian restaurant where Sarah knows almost everyone who works there. We both had a ceaser salad (I've never had a salad with the leaf not chopped up...it was interesting...I liked it). The owner came over to chat with us...gah I love his Italian accent! Italians are so nice lmfao. Then we had 3 servings of dessert haha. Shut up, I know I'm a heffer. And hoooooly SHIT. It was so freaking good. I got chocolate cheesecake and two other yummy chocolate things.

While we were eating dessert the owner's son came out, Jeanluca, I think his name is. He started talking to Sarah asking how she was since they saw eachother last, etc. Then he reached over to shake my hand (omg his hands are huuuge, mine looked so teeny in it) and he knocked my water glass over, spilling it all over the table and floor hahaha. I was embarrassed for him. But he is cute...buff, tan, dark eyes and hair, mwuah I luff Italians! Hottness. He's kinda of weird though. Then he asked Sarah to his prom haha, you can totally tell he likes her. Later she told me how he is always following her around when she sees him. Scary. Okay...but I'm jealous god damnit.

-The Dance:
At first it was boring but then they started to play some better songs. "Dude Looks Like A Lady" by Aerosmith (dude this is my favorite song eva rofl), some AC/DC, that 80's song "we can dance if we want to", Cotten Eyes Joe, and the one "she thinks my tractor is sexy." The other songs sucked. All the boys looked so cute in their tuxes and what not hehe :) Especially Peter *sigh*. Seth looked good too. Everytime I looked over at him he looked sad/lonely, I should've talked to him. Stupid me....yet another chance down the drain.

The dance seemed really short, granted we left a little early since we only had the car til 12. I was just getting into it by the time we left. I had a lot of fun but I think if I had a little bit of guy action (dancing I mean...you perv!). I can't believe its over though. Something so monumental in my life went by too quick. But it was awesome :) And I want to see Jeanluca again, that big ball of Italian sexiness. And since he has big hands and feet...*giggle* Italian saaaaaausage. Someone smack me, I'm a dork.

Prom is tonight....I'm gonna have to figure out where to store my keelnex. The only thing that is coming to mind is putting them in the "boob" of my dress haha. But that is gross. Any clever ideas?

Katie and I went to Portland yesterday afternoon for a PSU visit. Didn't like the campus very much but the diversity of all the students was cool. I also got a pair of khakis and a purple shirt at Forever 21. I was about to get a black mini-skirt with a matching top. It was so freakin cute. But I couldn't figure out where I'd wear it. I also confirmed that stores don't make very many clothes to fit my body type--tall, slim, hour glass figure (big boobs and hips), small waist, skinny legs and no butt. It seems like they would...but noooo. Or maybe I'm just really picky.

Doodie.

Listening to oldies is so fun. :)

The stupid girl who sits next to me in Lit gave me a freakin cold. Arg. EVERYTIME she gets sicks she gives me her cold. *shakes fist*

Sarah and I just went shopping. Didn't get anything but I found a pair of jeans that I really want. We also came to the conclusion that we are the most easily amused and sidetracked people ever hahaha.

This week is going to be busy. Friday: Up to Portland for PSU visit (and a wee bit of shopping). Saturday: Prom. Sunday: Mother's Day. Then homework. Actually now that I write about it, it doesn't sound so busy afterall.


Becca: Didn't you find a dress online? You should go anyway...you've only got one Senior Prom. Just go have fun :) PS: I'm sorry about the concert. Did you get tickets yet?

Stephanie: Now you make me want to go put on my dress lmfao. Just let me know when you get your site back up (fo sho)!

Ryan: HAHAHA That is the best quote! And very true. Amazon is so stupid...it's amazing that you actaully got the CD lol.

Jenna: Man that would be scary to get lost in a Wal-Mart! Thankfully ours isn't that big or else I KNOW I'd get lost hehe.

Alex: Broken Angel and Lulla Belle are the worst songs by Hanson since Love Song and Surely As The Sun. LoL. ROFLMAO. That was freakin funny. *giggle* Surely As The Sun *giggle*. I was disappoiinted with Broken Angel. The vocals need to be more powerful and some instrumental parts too. I'm sure it would better if they recorded it today, not 2 freakin years ago. But I like Lulla Belle, simple yet cute.

Friday, April 30, 2004

New make up is fuuun. I went to Wal*Mart (you must have the star) today and got two eye liners and eye shadow and nail polish. Yay! Oh yes, then I got a necklace for prom. It's actually really nice. I'm really excited for prom just to dance like a fool hehe.

This afternoon Katie and I were at the mall and this guy walked by and after he was a few feet away was whispered "Dude, that guy had huge plugs." And the guy turned around was like like, "Yeah I know I have huge ear plugs!" LMFAO. I had no idea he heard me (granted I have the worst stage whisper ever) but it was so embarrassing. There was nothing good at the mall either. It seemed like all the stores had generally the same stuff. *sigh* What has this world come to when there is no good shopping (and all these really ugly skirts, I feel like I'm being attacked by them each time...get them away! Only certain people should be wearing them)?

Damnit. My nail keeps getting stuck in between the E and the R key. How strange. Maybe because its as long as a dagger hahaha. Rawr.

I signed up for the June 5th SAT the other day. Meeps. It's a scary thought to be taking that, knowing that it will be going ton my record forever...dun dun duuuun.

TGIF!

Random song lyrics from my iTunes playlist:

I'm bouncing off the walls again
I'm looking like a fool again


Sometimes, I wish that I was a bong hit
You'd let me in and you would love every minute
And tell the room the things I did to you...


Stephanie -- I'm gonna miss your site :(

Monday, April 26, 2004

hehe I almost typed blooger.com instead of blogger.com. Blooger is like a booger....with blood. It's a blooger! Ok ewww.

It was so effing hot today. 85 degrees plus....and I was wearing jeans and 3/4 sleeve shirt haha. I was so prepared. DAMNIT I was going to paint my toe nails tonight. If I type faster I will have time before I go to bed. *types at the speed of light then realizes 60 words per minute is no where close to the speed of light* Talking about this hot weather, I need new shorts. Almost all the ones I have are a 1/2 away from showing my ass, and that is really amazing considering I have no ass haha. Skinny buuuuuttt, skinny buuuttt.

So yes, I'm still dateless from prom. Any takers?!? We could have a nice, long, intense conversation about...er cheese fondue. (Is there an "e" at the end or not? I'm in French and I don't know...how sad.)

Once again, there is no point to this blog.

Test, test, test... (Omg I'm Taylor Hanson!!)

After 10 some spins of Underneath, it's finally making me groove and give me those chills that I normally get from Hanson. Still the album is lacking some content to the content (aka substance to the lyrics). It doesn't really emotionally move me as much as I expected it would, but I DID find it is good background music. I play while doing homework, blogging (like I am right now) and just hanging out in general. At first when I heard it I was like WTF is this stuff? It was blah and bland for me. There was some sort of confusion to it all. But after a good number of listens I've grown to like it. Not my favorite Hanson album ever, but I like it. (Longer review soon). A lot of people have suggested listening to it with headphones because it changes the whole sound of the record. I will do that tomorrow. They have yet to find themselves...

In the meantime. Go buy it beotch. And spread the word!! I don't care if you don't want to. Do it. Tell random people you don't know. Accost them in the street and be like, "Undie, undie, undie...UNDERNEATH by Hanson!" Erh yeah. Or you could take a more traditional approach...but who wants to do that?

Today we sang this song about The Great Depression in history..."Sooooooup, soooooup, they give me a bowl of sooooooup!" It was so random. Umm let see what else can I ramble about? Oh yes, I saw David today *lick*. Now that is a FINE piece of boy. He was staring at me (again). It kind of creeps me out, but then again it's nice hahaha. I just need to talk to him but both of us are too shy. Plus I think he has a girlfriend. But I will not talk about that fact.

A list of cool people: Ryan, Alex, Becca, STEPHANIE, Chau

EDIT// Oy vay, I was just dancing in my underwear to the Crazy Beautiful remix etra track thing. *shakes head* Help?

Monday, April 19, 2004

This is my new motto...

Smoke Hanson on 4/20
BUY UNDERNEATH


Hanson's new album Underneath is in U.S. stores everywhere tomorrow. Or, buy it online. Great music needs to be recognized.

And by the way, thank you Lillian, Ryan, Stephanie, Alex & Becca for commenting! You guys are BITCHIN'.

Saturday, April 17, 2004

Well here I am at my new home! Thank you Becca :D There's also a new layout. This one puts me in the mood for summer...the other was too dark and sinister *throws head back and evily laughs*.

I got John Mayer tickets this morning, whee! Section 101 Row W. Maybe I'll run into Scotty again *drools*. Scotty the hottie with a naughty body, that is.

My mom and I went looking for a prom dress this afternoon and I actually found one. It is the most beautiful red ever! And it fits so good. I'm excited for from now! haha All that's missing is a date...a cute one preferably. Please send your pictures to hotreddresswearer.com. Thank you.

The other day I was thinking how weird this little site is. It's like a whole different world that no one knows about other than my online friends. Sometimes I get paranoid that people I know in real life will stumble onto here. *looks around and eyes everyone suspiciously*.

Oh yeah, I keep forgetting...I got a livejournal the other day (a_stormy_haze). So add me to your friends list if you'd like :)

I NEED TO FIND A BOY TO LIKE. That is all.

My family and I went to the coast this weekend and it was absolutely gorgeous. It was 80's in town and 70's on the beach. I've never been there when the weather was that nice. The ocean is really relaxing and peaceful.

My friend got it out of me that I kind of like Peter. So okay I do just a little bit. He is not the most attractive guy in the world but he has such a dorky and goofy personality that I love it. He's a cutie. But I don't imagine it ever turning into a serious crush.

Never-Forget is closing in July :( So Becca is going to host me! YAY!! *hugs her then sends her naked pics of Zac...erhh I mean, clothed Zac pics?!?* There was something else I was going to write about but it has slipped my mind.

AH I LOVE HANSON. New album--Underneath: 4/20. That is all.

\\Edit\\ I know what I was going to write about now! While at the beach I saw a sign that said "Gong's Chinese" but I misread it and thought it said "Going Chinese". hehe. Then this old couple of at least 75 hopped into their pimped out silver '03 Mustang and speed away. lmfao. It was the strangest thing I've ever seen. Quite an oxymoron.

Wednesday, April 07, 2004

Oooh a little late night blogging. How fun. I don't have much to talk about. Although life actually hans't been to bad lately. Relaxing and a tad enjoyable. I'm also getting a lot of scrapbooking done which is making me feel quite accomplished. Sad, I know.

The other day at school I got the most MASSIVE papercut ever. There is an envelope in the pouch next to my calculator and everyday when I get it out I think, "One day I'm going to get a papercut from that," well the day finally came. It was almost a half inch long and extremely deep. Amanda squeeded it to stop the bleeding and when I looked at it blood was dripping down my nail...ewww. I started to get light headed and really sweaty from seeing the blood. hehe Later that day my finger hit the car door and the cut open and squirted.

No school on Friday, whoop! I need to pay a visit to my dailies...long time, no see! And expect a new layout in the next couple of weeks.

Thank you to everyone who commented, I love you all *hug*. You guys make me feel all good and mushy inside :) Mez, Stephanie (x2), Alex, and Becca! *dances*

Staying up until 1 AM to finish a project is not fun. Especially when the teacher gives the class an extension they day it is due.

I'm trying to figure out of Katie is just a cold, hard bitch who is friends with me because it makes her feel better about herself since she thinks she's "above" me or if she is just friends with me so we can share homework OR if she is just friends with me because she doesn't have many others. I'm guessing if she had the choice to be with "better" people she wouldn't be friends with me. And it's not like I'm in any better of a situation because if I stop being friends with her then I most definitely won't have anything relatively close to a "good" friend, and I'll be even more alone and sad than I am right now.

It's like I'm her last resort. If no one else can do anything, then she calls me. And she tries to hide things from me. For instance today she said her and Christina are going to a fundraising pagent at another school and I asked why and she snapped, "Because we want to!" And I know why she wants to go--she wants to meet guys. And thanks for asking me too, Katie..because you know that I also want to meet boys. Why did she have to lie? I don't understand. Maybe she doesn't want me to go because I'm annoying her or she just doesn't flat out like me. Speaking of annoying, I've been annoying myself lately. I used to be happy with myself at the end of middle school, now I'm ending high school not being the person I want to be. But anyway. I just want to smack her and say WTF? so she can come clean with me. It's better to tell the truth than live a lie. I want to know where I stand with her and if I should continue to be her friend.

And it's really hard to deal with the face that there is no one in my (small) circle of friends that I can truly talk to about EVERYTHING, trust and respect them. There's no one I know that would go out of the way to make me feel better or ask me what's wrong, or even say "Ash, you rock," and really mean it. I have no one and it hurts. High School's a bitch and I will be glad to get out.

Blogger is refusing to publish this post.

And on top of that, my god damn toilet is plugged.

{Edit} I just found out John Mayer is coming on Saturday, July 10 - Ridgefield, WA - Amphitheatre at Clark County (same day and place where he went last year too). WHEEE! M5 is opening...Becca, we have to go!! Now my day is a whole lot better. YAYNESS.

Monday, March 29, 2004

I just got back from having lunch with my mom and a nice little Mexican eatery. We were walking to the car when I realized that she wasn't with me anymore, so I look back to find her digging in the trash--head and arms inside the can, and butt sticking out. In the midst of my confusion I asked, "WHAT are doing?". Everyone was staring at her with WTF looks haha. Then this lady goes, "Are you looking for your keys? They are right on the table." The table was two feed away from the trash can. *shakes head* I'm not going to say anything more.

This is my last day of spring break :( I don't want it to end. Eventhough I did NOTHING, it was still nice to relax and sit on my ass. And I think I only got one of my goals accomplished haha..figures.

Why do people watere their lawns in the heat of the day when half the water will evaporate before it even hits the roots?

[EDIT//] I updated Almost Dailies, First Celeb Crush, Your Mind, Ask Me, About Me, My Music, Quotes, Lyrics, Rambles

I spent $72 on two bras the other day. They are good bras that will last a while and they are so comfy...plus my boobies are worth it! Yeeeah. I got this one and this one.

I have to work on this stupid very involved Senior project this weekend. And I'm only a Junior...obviously my school is retarded.

Earlier today I was sitting at the computer typing when all the sudden I heard a "pop" and saw stuff shooting all over the place out of the corner of my eye. My orange juice exploded! I'm still trying to figure out HOW. Maybe it was the ice cracking that caused the explosion? Or it was laced with a pinch TNT (aaaaah!)? *scary music* Do do do do do do.

The other day I was reading Elle Girl (which I do not suggest to get because it took them 3+ months to send my my god damn subscription) and it said "EVERYONE. BRIGHT EYE SHADOW IS IN." And a few entires back I was telling you how I wore that damn cool purple shadow to school. So beware people of the world, you are now reading the blog of a trend-spotter...wearing the trends before they happen. Ooh YES.

Thank you to everyone whose commented on the last couple of entires :)

New layout (finally)! I think I went a little overboard on the brushes, but I don't care because I love the photograph so much.

I went to the Portland Art Museum in Friday with Art Club. The highlight was seeing Monet's Waterlilly painting. Monet is my painting idol haha. Going to the museum brought back memories from my Paris "excursion".

And holy fucking shit. Andrea, Peter, Amanda and I were sitting in the parkblockes next to the museum when all the sudden a clown drove by driving this hella scary car. He started staring at us with these evil eyes and yelling, "Don't let me down!" (I thought he was saying "Smack that bitch down!" but the previous makes more sense because when he was driving away he was like, "Extremo for mayor!") And he had this effed up stuffed animal green "monster" and monkey hanging out the side of his window. Then when he turned the corner he let out the most possesed laugh I have ever heard. I can't even explain it....it made all of us shit our pants. Go visit his website. *shudders*

Katie and I went to Wall-Mart and right as we walked by these two guys were like "Ooooo YEAH, now that is what I'm talking about! It doesn't get any better than that!!" Freaks.

*dances*
Should I stay or should I go now?
Should I stay or should I go now?
If I go there will be trouble
An' if I stay it will be double
So come on and let me know
*end dance sequence*

Had to get that dancing out of the way....while sitting in my chair. How does she do it, you ask? Just HOW does she do it?
INTERPERATIVE DANCE=FUN.

Oh boy, here goes my dad complaining once again. Just over a year and I'll be OUTTA here. I really don't know why I'm blogging right now. I have nothing interesting to say. But wait, do I ever? No. Maybe only once in a blue moon. Spring Break next week...sleeeeeeep. I have a full list of things to accomplish: Get the new layout up and update some contents; exercise for at least 15 minutes every night; scan some of my artwork to make a portfolio; paint; and that is all I can think of. But you know I am going going to get 1/2 of 1 thing done.

A guy trying to act retarded came to our door wanting to sell something tonight haha. It was so random.

Alex left this comment: You should update more... your life is fun to read about. :c) *giggle* I think I'm speechless (partly because I find a lot of my life a complete bore, so it is cool to know that at someone thinks it's fun). And just because you have made me extrememly happy, I will update more often for you! <33 I've been meaning to but school work has been a beotch.

The drying went off 20 minutes ago. Oops.

Friday, March 12, 2004

The past few days have been gorgeous--sunny, not a cloud in the sky, warm, but not too hot. On Wednesday Katie and I went to the park and swung. It brought back many old memories from my passion of swinging when I was younger. haha I felt like I was flyyyyyying!

Then today we went down town and while we were waiting in the steps, a 5 year old boy and his mom walked past and the little boy said, "Hiiii! You girls are so beautiful! Where do you live? What are your names?" He had on these huge sunglasses and was carrying a massive lolly pop. He was sooo adorable and his compliment made my day hehe :)

I added two new dailies!! A and S, woot! There was something else I was gonna say, but I forgot. Dur. Updates soon....maybe next blog.

Monday, March 08, 2004

Last night I cried myself to sleep. Every discontent and I have in my life poked it's head out of it's ulgy little shell and surfaced in my mind--from school, friends, home/parents, to my inner thoughts. I can't even express how I felt. I wanted scream and break like...a tv or something hah. I needed someone to hold me and tell me everything is going to be all right. It hit me that the only good things I have in my life that I love are Hanson (and all good things surrounding that) and my dog, and he's not even here anymore. He was my ultimate comfort and best friend. I will never get over his death :( Fuck. Now I'm crying.

Since I spent all night crying and didn't get to bed until 2, my eyes were so puffy this morning that it looked like I had spent the night on a bed of pollen. Everyone was like, "Woooah, you looked tired," haha it just made me laugh.

We wrote a paper in English for French class about France banning religious symbols in public schools, and my stupid ass teacher thought I plagarized it. "But it was so beautifully written, I just didn't know." I don't know whether to take that as a compliment or as an insult of her doubting my intelligence.

Today was nice and sunny, I liked it.

Thursday, March 04, 2004

I've been so lazy lately. I need to get my ass up off the ground and work out so I don't feel like such a jiggly piece of jello. I know I'm not fat...I just feel so lazy and useless, like I am letting my body go. I'm not treating myself right. And the funny this is when I wanted a gym membership last summer, my parents wouldn't let me get one. Wtf? I don't understand their logic.


I had this purple eyeshadow with tiny silver sparkles fermenting away in my makeup bag (similar to the one at the let), so I decided to takae an angled brush and use it as an eyeliner. And I must say it looked fucking awesome. I am wearing my makeup like that to school more often. Basicially everyone at my school wears black eyeliner, the norm. Yesterday I wore this electric blue liner haha. I rock. Then my favorite is this dusty rose/light wine liner with shimmer. *nods* Why I am talking about this, I have no idea.

My lit teacher read my essay the other day during class. I wasn't paying attention so all I heard it "blah blah blah, I'm going to read some really exceptional essays, blah blah blah, this one is Ashley's, blah blah." I was thinking 'Wait, what? No, it's not mine!' But when he read the title I was like "*gasp* It is mine! Gaah!" Meeps it was so embarrassing because everyone was staring at me and I was laughing/covering my face and the girl next to me was like "Your as red as a tomato!" Which of course made me blush even more lol. But I thought it was cool that my essay was good enough to be read out loud. I was secretly dancing around inside my brain hehe.

Ooh and voting has started at the Fame Awards, so go vote for me!
