i'm done with my busy weekend schedule. tomorrow, i get to...sleep. yay. and this morning, i told jenna i wasn't going to be home at all today, and yet she called and left a million messages for me...? der.

as for my concert yesterday...i'm going to write a review of it later, but for now i'll put up the highlights:

• the opening act went on in the middle, which was weird
• peter was so incredibly hot, it's not fair that he's about 60 years old
• there was an "orchestra" (a saxophone, trombone, and trumpet) and they kept dancing, and the saxophone was my favourite...and when peter introduced them, i nearly died because guess what the saxophone's name was. really, guess. okay, here's a hint: he has the same name as raft-boy. [g]
• it took us four and a half hours to get there because of the snow and rush-hour traffic. we left at 3 and got there just in time for it to start at 7:30 (luckily, they were a little behind schedule).
• security sucks. they actually yelled at us for standing and made us sit down...at a concert!
• i got peter a present, this little green stuffed bear that laughs and says "i love you! i love you!" when you squeeze it...and i put it in a gift bag and my mum put it on the stage (because i'm way too shy to go up there myself) during the concert, and davy gave it to peter at the end and he was so happy! he practically mauled davy when he hugged him! it was so adorable!
• we got lost coming home (we couldn't find the right highway to get on, but that's because the signs were all covered with snow) so we had to ask some random hot guy walking on the street...and i was supposed to be listening to the directions but i didn't because i was too enthralled with his accent (puerto rican...). hee...
• at the concert, we parked behind a car that had a bumper sticker that said "got pot?" on it. my mum and sister were like, "it must be one of peter's friends." my response was: "ha...eh." that looks weird, though. it actually sounded normal.

and...that's all for now. ooh! and peter played bach during the concert, which was so awesome! not only because it was really hard and he was great at it, but beth and i have a five-year running joke about bach...[g] and then, for one part of the concert, he played bass guitar (along with keyboards, electric, banjo...all that stuff). everyone should know about my obsession with bass guitarists by now...[g] i think he's the one who started it. john entwistle just...strengthened it. yep.

what is with the internet lately? for the past few days, nobody has been online past ten o'clock...maybe they're trying to get me to go to bed at a decent time. ha. well, beth was on but she got off before ten o'clock in her time zone, so it doesn't really count.

but i'm improving, really. i actually did my spanish homework tonight (the homework that's due tomorrow!). actually, i did it on the way to spotlight. it was easy. of course, that's probably because i didn't put the answers in sentences and i think we had to...oh well. it didn't specify. well, it might have but i can never understand when they put the directions in spanish. [g]

and...i should probably do my trig homework. he gave us notes on double- and half-angles, but he never told us exactly what they were, he just gave us the formulas...which is completely pointless, in my opinion. : Þ

ooh, i have mail. i bet it's junk. well, almost. it's from the angrysalad mailing list, but they're all having majour issues so i'm not even bothering with reading the emails anymore...

speaking of mailing lists, this is to whoever's joined jamie oliver's mailing list (i know sarah has). does anyone ever get mail from it? because i'm on it on three different email addresses (shut up. i was bored on the school computer and wanted to see the cute picture of him holding the "thank you!" sign so i signed up on different addresses) and i never get anything...just wondering.
so said lynne at 10:40 PM [say something yourself]

haha, i was bored so i decided to look at gleebs' profile, and she put me in it! "when she's not online, you know she's either at a concert, school, or work." -christine, in reference to my active social life. i feel so honoured...[g]
so said lynne at 10:03 PM [say something yourself]

yay i'm going to see oasis! and spacehog! ...and the black crowes. [g] but as soon as i had ordered the tickets (four: for me, my friend christa, her mum, and her friend), my mum was standing there with the classified...hint? no, more like smack over the head. she said that if my friend doesn't pay me back for the tickets (which she will, there's no way she's going to miss oasis!) i have to pay for all of them...but i'm not worried about that.

but i really do need a job. spotlight will be over in a month and then i'll have lots of free time (except for marching band, which is supposed to start again soon, but that won't be that often) to work...i need to go job hunting. too bad i'm busy this weekend...

the monkees are tomorrow! [g]

and now i'm telling beth just how pathetic i am concerning raft-boy...i have a freaking playlist named after him, with all songs that somehow relate to him. that's sad. but...fun. [g]

and isn't today micky dolenz's birthday? i think so...
so said lynne at 9:57 PM [say something yourself]

eeeee tomorrow's my monkees concert!!! i am so excited...even though it's supposed to snow. my mum said that even if it snows, we are not missing this concert, so she'll get me out of school early and we'll drive up to lowell and then spend the night there. of course, i have to be in somerset for one saturday afternoon for spotlight, and i'll be getting back at around six, and then i have to go to my school's play for seven...it's going to be very busy this weekend for me. so don't expect too many updates.

as for today...i passed out in chemistry class. but since that's a normal occurence for me, it's not really a big deal. the thing is, i don't know why i passed out this time. usually it's because i ate something i'm allergic to (usually chocolate or peanut butter), but i didn't...so i don't know what's going on. i wish i would stop passing out, though. it's the one thing that's really unhealthy about me (well, and all my allergies...but that kind of goes along with it). and it's annoying. although, i did get out of one period of chemistry lab. and nate wasn't there (i hate when people don't have the decency to show up to school...especially on lab days) and rachael was making up a quiz, so i literally had nobody to talk to. but then rachael came back for the second period so that was good. but nate better be in school tomorrow. he seriously doesn't come to school almost every other day. i don't see how people can miss that much school and not fail...i miss one day and i'm lost for weeks. it's not fair.

i was just having a great time. i was listening to wqri and they were playing the who. then...aol decided to be evil. as it usually is. so i didn't get to finish listening to the song. evil, evil aol...so now i'm watching alf. ha.

and i really have nothing to say. nothing's happened tonight...and nobody's online! oh, earlier, my brother took over the computer while i was online and just randomly imed people on my buddy list...thank goodnez raft-boy wasn't on! i would have died...

back to alf. or wqri. which one? i can't decide...i hate decisions.
so said lynne at 9:53 PM [say something yourself]

i can't go to church tonight. i haven't missed it in such a long time, but i have to. because my mum and katie are going to stars on ice tonight. and i'm a loser so i don't have my license. so...i have to miss church. and it's bad enough that i have to stop going soon because my mum's getting her work schedule changed...

back to downloading led zeppelin songs. because they rock. aww yeah.
so said lynne at 6:01 PM [say something yourself]

i really want to go see oasis and spacehog...gleebs, this isn't official, but i'll probably have you order two tickets for me if you don't mind. because i told my friend christa about the concert today and she was really excited (as she would be because she loves oasis). so i'll tell you officially tomorrow. you know, if you're actually on, because you never are when i have to tell you something like this. [g]

and i feel extremely guilty...i cursed someone. i didn't mean to, but i did. oops. [g] but so, now i feel really bad about it and couldn't even look at them today in school. i'm such a horrible, horrible person...
so said lynne at 3:17 PM [say something yourself]

...i just remembered something. i was supposed to read a story for english this weekend. ha. i can do that during lunch tomorrow. but i still have to write my spanish thing. and since that was due friday, i think i should get started on that. but that's what homeroom is for, right?

right now, i'm hoping that gleebs is at her concert...i'm pretty sure she is. because she's not online. when she's not online, you know she's either at a concert, school, or work. [g] i love ya, gleebs. really.

and sarah, nobody really answers our phone either. my mum does when she's home, but that's not often. because my brother has issues (there's this kid that sporadically calls like, once a year for a month and my brother doesn't like talking to him, so whenever someone calls who isn't his best friend we have to say scott's not home), my sister has issues (she doesn't answer the phone because she doesn't feel like it's her house anymore), and i have issues (i'm always in my room, and i have to run out to the parlour or wherever the phone is and find it, and that's too much work). we're a very issue-y (?) family. oh yes. [g]
so said lynne at 9:43 PM [say something yourself]

okay, new part of my blog. i now have my playlist right there. so i don't have to always say what i'm listening to, you know that it's something on there. unless...i forget to change it. but i doubt i will. just a warning, though: some of my playlists are really long. [g]

we better have school tomorrow. i'll have to spend the day over jenna's house if we don't, because i cannot stay in this house any longer.

that's all.
so said lynne at 8:36 PM [say something yourself]

so, i finally watched the labyrinth (again). yay. i like having no school. although...i'm ready to have it again. it would be better if my sister wasn't home. i didn't get up until noon (i went back to sleep), and almost as soon as i got up, she was pissed at me.

okay, i was in my room, watching the labyrinth, and the phone rings. since the phone jack in my room doesn't work, i don't have a phone in there. so i figure that someone who does have a phone in their room (ie, my sister or brother) could pick it up. it rings again, and nobody picks it up. so i run out to the dining room and am looking everywhere for it. i finally find it amid the clutter on the kitchen counter (during which it rang again), so i pick it up and answer it. but it rang again and the answering machine picked up, and whoever it was hung up. and almost immediately, my sister comes up the stairs and is like, "i should have known it was you who was too lazy to answer the phone." aaaarrgh....i can't stand it any longer. luckily, she's gone out for now. yay. i better have school tomorrow, though...

and my hair's not obeying me at all. i don't like this haircut. i can't wait for it to grow out...

and i want to see spacehog and oasis.

so. no school today. of course, it would have helped to put it on the telly BEFORE i got in the shower. because i checked it. it didn't say anything. so i went in the shower, and checked it when i got out. oh look, we have no school. so now it's quarter past six in the morning and i have nothing to do. it figures. and i can't go to sleep because my hair is soaking wet. and besides, i'm not tired now...school sucks.

aaaarrrgh *why* is aol so evil? it's not fair...i must have been online ten times in the past hour...while i'm trying to have a nice, civilized conversation with jamie. : Þ and of course, i'm actually on now, and nobody else is on to talk to, and i have to get off soon because my sister's being miss queen of the phone line. she needs to learn how to share when she comes home. (yes, i've had a very frustrating day concerning her. can you tell?)

anyway, while i was on earlier i actually updated my webpage, and i've been trying to blog it on here. they are two poems: to my loved one and friday morning. i wrote them almost a month ago and forgot to put them on here. because i'm brilliant like that. but nobody ever reads my stuff anyway, so what's the point?

i think we do have school tomorrow...it figures, when it's actually snowing we have school. we're brilliant. so, i should probably go write my spanish paper....ooh, brian's on. maybe i should actually talk to him. because i don't. i'm too shy. [g] i'm always talking to him in school and band and stuff, but i can't im him on the computer. does that make sense? nope. i can't im sarah either, so i never talk to her...i'm so pathetic. i don't im people. they have to im me the first time (or second if i actually im them the first, because otherwise i'll feel like i'm bugging them...). yep. shut up.

np: candyskins: tired of being happy

yaaaay! i finally wrote my history essay (it took me ten minutes to write it and type it up...). and we have no school tomorrow! okay, it's not official, but i heard it from the guy i babysit for, and he's on the school committee and he said that they called him up and told him. so...i don't have to do my spanish essay still. [g] and maybe i'll actually watch the labyrinth tonight. because, you know, i've been wanting to watch it since the beginning of vacation...why haven't i? i have it on dvd, i can watch it whenever i want...i'm such a slacker, i don't even do the things i want to do. that's pathetic.
so said lynne at 8:13 PM [say something yourself]

np: the flys: got you where i want you

so, being bored and procrastinating on writing my history has led to me actually updating part of my page. i added a survey from those emails (everyone knows what i'm talking about, right?). it's all about me. if you're really bored, too, you can fill it out and send it back to me! [g]
so said lynne at 2:35 PM [say something yourself]

np: btk: peppyrock

so, we have no school today and i can sleep late...and what time do i wake up? eight freaking thirty. which means, that i got the exact same amount of sleep i would on a school night because i went to bed two and a half hours later than i usually do, and got up two and a half hours later than i do for school. it's not fair...

and now my sister and i are the only ones home, and i'm sure we're going to kill each other if nobody gets home soon. but...i'm happy. very happy. i just can't say why. [g]

and this is a fun song. really, everyone needs to download it. go. now. nobody ever downloads the songs i tell them to...that's okay, i still love you all.

i really need something to do...oh, wait. i still have to write my history essay. ha. maybe i should go make a snowman instead. you know, with the whole negative two inches of snow that we got. this is pathetic. but...it got me out of writing an essay. [g]

well, the sound's working again. finally. and no school tomorrow. so, i bet i'll be sitting here, 24 hours (used) from now, saying, 'i should really write my essay...' ha. i'm such a slacker, really...

and i just imed jenna with a message about raft-boy, but i think it's her mum...oops. oh well. [g] oh, it is jenna...good. ha, she didn't believe me when i called her up an hour ago to tell her school was cancelled. it says it on abc! and then, after i called her, my mum *had* to call everyone to tell them school was cancelled...she called our neighbour, and they have nobody in school! their youngest son graduated last year...so she spent forever on the phone with them. and when i got back online, aol wasn't working (what a surprise). so i spent a while trying to get that to work. now it finally does. yay.

and i have another day to do my other history homework (interview someone about jfk and what they remember) so that's good because i forgot, and my mum doesn't remember much about it (she was five...). but when my sister did this assignment two years ago, she said that she made it all up. ha. we're such slackers in my family...and yet she was class valedictorian last year. : Þ (isn't that so cute? it has fangs!)

i'm going to go not write my essay...erica needs to come online. [g] i bet she doesn't know that we don't have school tomorrow, though...
so said lynne at 10:53 PM [say something yourself]

yeah...i should really go write my essays. i'm such a slacker, really. how did i get to be on nhs? i have no idea...and last semestre was such a slacker semestre for me and my grade average actually went up...how did that happen? it went from an 87.08 (unweighted) to an 89.38 or something like that...really, how did that happen? i did so bad in chemistry second quarter, i had to get hundreds on my last five tests to bring it up to a b. so...i have no clue how my average went up. but anyway, that's besides the point. the point is, i really need to write my history essay. [g] this is it:

in class, we examined four major change agents (suburbia, emitt till, television, and elvis presley) that arose in the 1950's america which changed our way of life forever. identify the one that, in your opinion, was the most significant, and defend your opinion in an essay of one page. remember to support your positions with valid factual evidence.

see? the easiest essay in the world, and i'm putting it off to the last minute. but my friend katie just imed me (i had no clue who it was...[g]) and said we had no school according to abc. but my mum won't put it on that channel because she's watching something on nbc. and she won't believe katie, because she doesn't believe anyone. great...i think i'll go check it on my tv now. but...i don't have to do my history essay! all that procrastinating actually was good! [g]
so said lynne at 9:38 PM [say something yourself]

okay, so i've finally figured everything out. i even have an archive page now. yay. so, now that i have blogger working again...what to say? i have nothing, really. um...i still haven't written those essays. i should probably work on them, shouldn't i? i'm lazy. and a procrastinator. and since we've had a grand total of two snow flakes so far, i think we're going to have school tomorrow...so i should really write them. well, i can write my spanish one during homeroom (as i usually do), it's just five sentences about my hero or whatever. but the history one's due before homeroom (which means that i have to waste precious social time looking for my stupid history teacher, because he says he'll be right outside his door and he never is until the bell rings to go to homeroom).

and wow, what a surprise, the sound isn't working again. my computer sucks.

what else did i do today? ...i watched the disney channel. a lot. like, a million episodes of boy meets world. and saw the scary backstreet boys video that i do not understand at all. and saw an aaron carter video. that was hilarious. oh yeah, and i talked to jenna on the phone for about two hours...and then came online and talked to her some more. i have such an interesting life. [g]

i really should go write my essays...maybe i will now.
