aaaaaaaaaghakgsdjfhgaksjd i leave for college tomorrow morning at 6 am yeah the only things keeping me from hurling myself off a fucking cliff right now are boots factor the new jacks mannequin cd and the hanson concerts i'm going to in october i have to pack so much i want to die that is all
i had a dream that my cousins (jack & julia) turned into vampires, and i had to keep them under control for the first 3 days of it. and i wasn't even a vampire, so it was crazy. and the petrones were visiting and i couldn't let them find out but i think michaela did? so anyways their 3 days were up and then they were just chill, so i was like "okay, good i can finally go to the library now." so i went to the library and zac hanson was there, freakin out because one of his kids (he had 8?) had been bit. and i was like "BIT BIT? LIKE.. YOU KNOW... BIT?" and he was like "um, i think by a spider." and then he looked at daguerreotypes of flowers. so then we team worked it up looking at books, and walked back to his house together, and then he was like "hey, you seem like you're really nice and you care about people.. and i need a babysitter..." and i went all SPUNKRANSOM! and was like "sry z han, i do not like children... AT ALL." also, this is weird because jack & julia showed up at my house unannounced today. fun times.
jerry lee is playing in nantucket this summer right after i get back from dc! who wants to drive 4 hours to see him on some little shitty island with me!!?!
brought to you by btmi: Your wonderful city is treating you like fucking dogshit and you need to call your goddamn government up and let them know. You now have all ages shows. You're having marketing executives possibly being jailed for being terrorists. What what what? Here are two things you MUST read if you are from massachusettes.
1) TERROR!!!!! (source bigdandthekidstable.com)
I don't think there is a good way to say this except for I'm really fuckin' pissed off right now. I hope that all of you have heard about the "bomb scare" in Boston, a guerilla marketing campaign by Cartoon Network to promote the Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie that went completely wrong. As a huge Aqua Teen fan I was completely shocked at the city of Boston and the state of Massachusetts embarrassing handling of this situation. There are so many things wrong with how the government treated this situation. It frightens me to think that everyone is so on edge that some blinking plastic lights depicting a middle finger could be considered a terrorist threat. ESPECIALLY, after the signs had been up for over a week in each location. Great work guys, we're all safer now. If you haven't seen the video of the police department blowing up the sign I'd check it out on youtube. 

THE SAD PART ABOUT THIS IS the two guys Sean Stevens and Peter Berdovsky, who were hired by the marketing agency, are now being considered for criminal prosecution. They were hired to do a job and it ended up being a disaster. One of my coworkers, Jeremy, is extremely close one of the guys. Jeremy also happens to be a student at Harvard Law School. He's been trying to help them out as much as he possibly can. I asked how I could help to stop this trial. He forwarded me an email giving information on who to call and express concern. I've posted it below. I know they want to make an example out of them but the whole situation is fucked up. The reason why is this. If these guys go to jail they're going to be effected for the rest of their lives. What does Turner Broadcasting get out of it? The best advertisement for a movie someone could possibly ask for. Aqua Teen Hunger Force became a household name where before it was an elite cartoon for the deviant youth. Two people potentially rot in jail and corporate America banks 5 times as much profit off the movie.
Stovetop ——————- Here is the email. Please get involved! ——————-
Everyone, The rumors are not true; charges against peter and Sean have not been dropped. Tomorrow, negotiations are being held and hopefully our friends will be able to walk away from this without any repercussions. A lot of people have been asking what they can do to help. Tomorrow would be the big day for everyone to call (even if you've already called,) and request that the government drop the charges. The earlier we can call the better, I’m not sure exactly what time the negotiations take place. And be sure to mention you live in Boston and/or Massachusetts, and vote.

These calls are incredibly simple. It takes less than ten minutes to call all three numbers, and the people who answer the phones are very easy to talk to. It was mentioned to me for us to sound as educated and normal as possible. We don't want to sound like a bunch of far out hippie artist punk kids. We want to sound like responsible constituents who are going to vote against those who persecute the innocent under the guise of being tough on terror.
Please pass this on to your friends, loved ones, email lists, and anyone who know who supports the cause.
Love.
2) YOU DAMN KIDS AND YOUR MUSIC!!!! (source punknews.org)
Taking a page from Washington D.C. and going a step further, the City of Boston has imposed a curfew on everyone under 21. The end result, according to some, is to effectively shut down most of the scene in that city.
Patricia A. Malone, director of the city's office of consumer affairs and license, sent clubs a letter Tuesday, explaining the measure was intended to stamp out "noise and disruption." Of course, the law stemmed from the same premise as the Washington D.C. law in that it is ostensibly a response to a violent crime which claimed the life of a bouncer last month.
One booking agent commented: A lot of bands are either under-age or have under-age fans, so a lot of people get shut out. It's killing the scene.
Despite isolated incidents, Boston is known for a vibrant, diverse and influential music scene, spawning such nationally known acts as Dropkick Murphys, The Explosion, Big D and the Kids Table, Pixies, Cave In and many more.
Update: To clarify, the curfew only specifically applies to venues that feature "live music or DJs" so people under 21 are still free to be outside of the house.

OK, guys. We're not idiots and if you are from Massachusettes, you CAN change this. YOU VOTE. You can vote these people out if you unite and they know this. Call up these nice people:
Martha coakley (617) 727-2200 Mayor menino (617) 635-4500 Governor Patrick (617) 725-4005
Let them know. Mention that you vote and live in Boston/Massachusettes. Do your best to be smart and well-spoken; we shouldn't make this appear to be a punk rock issue beacuse it's not. It's a fucking human issue, and the wonderful city of Boston should not treat it's people like this. If you can take a stand, fucking do it. Everyone else thanks you.
playing in a band for over 5 years, things can get ugly real easily. you can have your 5 best friends in that van with you, but theres always going to be two groups of best friends in that van. i guess what im saying is its probably better being out of the band than being in the band and not wanted. its rough being on the road 9 months out of the year.
PERSNICKETY per-snick-et-y [per-snik-i-tee] –adjective 1. overparticular; fussy. 2. snobbish or having the aloof attitude of a snob. 3. requiring painstaking care. Also, pernickety.
TODAY I CUT OFF ALL MY HAIR AND I'M NOT TALKING TO THE POPULAR KIDS ANYMORE.
jk.
well, i really did cut my hair. i don't know about the popular kids. i don't even know who's considered popular in my school & chances are i didn't talk to them in the first place.
ANYWAYS. either i'm eternally surrounded by people with superiority complexes, or i have an inferiority complex. but i'm going for the former.
heyyyyyy if you ever get the feeling that you're too happy, just watch the heart is decietful above all things and you'll want to kill yourself for the rest of your life!!!
i am bothered by people bragging about their lives all the time! (ie: every girl from long island.)
frankie muniz is going to be on some tv show buying a house or something. he's married now. but he's still my best friend. and i still have those pictures of him dancing like a village man.
i have to do an english project but i still don't even know how.
my brother got hampsters and my dog is flipping the fuck out.
i bet ugly-patterned sweatshirts are going to be really cool now. watch.
me and krystle are going on tour this summer yayyy. shanna too. LESTER PENNY AND REDDOG BBFL.
"In math class, I always liked to imagine riding in a little cart down the sine wave. It was really fun in my imagination." andrew volpe and his stupid band should play somplace in new england for once in their fucking lives. AND on the subject of math class being written about in online blogs, i'm definantly afraid of writing about school in here now, because the teachers search for their names on google, and kids' blogs pop up and then they become the subject of class discussions. like in math class, this happened with 1-2 kids. and umm, that would be weird; "HEY GOOD THING YOU DID THIS ASSIGNMENT KELLY, I KNOW YOU DIDN'T WANT TO." "uhh what?" "I READ ABOUT IT RIGHT AFTER THE ENTRY WHERE YOU WERE LIKE WAH WAH, DREW, I LOVE YOU, WAH WAH WAH"
OMGitsKRYSTLE69: she didn't touch anyones butt OMGitsKRYSTLE69: liar OMGitsKRYSTLE69: the spiritsssss moveee in ur feeeetttt OMGitsKRYSTLE69: and if im dancing alooone the captains dancingg with meeee
