Yesterday I woke up at 8:30 am to take Siren and Jamie to Wabash. Siren got his car there and he spent the day with his mom and one of his friends. Jamie and I got back to Manchester at around 11:00 am or so. I took some time to walk around and I picked flowers and enjoyed the weather. I don't think I've ever had as much fun on a solo walk before. It was absolutely perfect. I got back at around 2:00pm or so and I chilled with Franky. He and I listened to music and he played some silly game on his computer while I silently judged some people I saw through the window of the apartment. He went to work. I stayed back. I started drawing and writing. I've been drawing a lot lately. I'd absolutely love to share some of my stuff, but I'm far too lazy to scan anything, so. I suppose you're all grateful for that.
I'm not really sure how the rest of my night went. I'm sure it was squandered by reading or drawing or some other form of useless activity.
Today, Jamie was supposed to come over here so we could take pictures for our Tarot deck. The weather is rather perfect for Temperance (which would be me, in case you were wondering). I don't think it's going to happen though, she's been really tired and she should prolly just sleep or something. I, on the other hand, have slept far too much and am ready to go back to not sleeping at all.
Tomorrow, I'm supposed to be helping Al move some of her furniture from her parents' house to her apartment. I'm not really looking forward to the manual labor aspect, but it's something to do, and I just can't resist the need to help a friend (Well, I could if I wanted to, but it's just easier to go along with myself sometimes, I can be pretty persuasive.). I'm not sure what's going on after that. I might go see a movie or something.
Suggestions would be fabulous! (Comments...)

I'm feeling rough, I'm feeling raw, I'm in the prime of my life.

If I were a bee, my name would be Irving and this would be a daily occurrence...

Luckily enough, I'm not a bee and I have a better command of the English language than most everyone I know and I'm confident enough not to need anyone else's approval (It just helps to have it sometimes ;). I'm glad I could share this with you. And I'm glad that there are still people who read this poor excuse for a blog... I really need to start getting ideas an' such. I'm just usually too convinced that the constant rambling neuroticism that's become a permanent fixture in my psyche is a bit too much for these poor Interwebz to handle, much less my readers. Lemme know if this pathetic reasoning doesn't work for you. Perhaps you might be able to sway me into writing something of actual substance? You'll never know until you try!
Love and Light!

So, as you all know, I'm incredibly needy and I require constant validation. I can only get this validation if you comment on my stuff. So, erm..... Everyone should get on that, eh?

Well. There was too much excitement for just one post. So. Here's another video that we made:

In this video, I'm Brock and Ash, Siren is Zubat and Pikachu. You'll notice that our castle that we'd previously built is guarded by Anubis, the Egyptian god of the Underworld. Best guard dog ever! We really enjoyed making this video. We're not really sure how it started, or why Pikachu was a drunk, but that's just how these things go I guess.

The kids are united and they will never be divided! Play this game right!

So. Friday night was the first night of Spring Break! I was quite pumped, needless to say. I love not being obligated to follow any kind of rigid schedule; it allows for more naps. Anyways, a few of my friends went to Al's house to get hunkled and play with legos. We made some videos. Here they are.

Here, Siren is the voice of Zubat, Al is Anne, and I'm the Stingray and the Cat.

In this one, Siren is still Zubat, I'm Brock and the Stingray, Al is the Pac-Man pokéball.

I will feel a glow just thinking of you...

So. I was creepin' on Jeana earlier and I took this picture of her while she was doing some incredibly arduous task. She had no idea that I was in the room and she totally wasn't posing. This is just how she is all the time.

During Wind and Rain

by Thomas Hardy
       They sing their dearest songs—
       He, she, all of them—yea,
       Treble and tenor and bass,
            And one to play;
      With the candles mooning each face. . . .
            Ah, no; the years O!
How the sick leaves reel down in throngs!

       They clear the creeping moss—
       Elders and juniors—aye,
       Making the pathways neat
            And the garden gay;
       And they build a shady seat. . . .
            Ah, no; the years, the years,
See, the white storm-birds wing across.

       They are blithely breakfasting all—
       Men and maidens—yea,
       Under the summer tree,
            With a glimpse of the bay,
       While pet fowl come to the knee. . . .
            Ah, no; the years O!
And the rotten rose is ript from the wall.

       They change to a high new house,
       He, she, all of them—aye,
       Clocks and carpets and chairs
          On the lawn all day,
       And brightest things that are theirs. . . .
          Ah, no; the years, the years
Down their carved names the rain-drop ploughs.

I've got a brand new pair of rollerskates. You've got a brand new key.

Has anyone ever heard of this fancy band called Pleymo? I'm going to assume you haven't. They're a french Nu metal and rapcore band. I bet this seems strangely out of character for me, but I've pretty much loved this band since I was like 15 or 16. They inspired me to learn French.


I think my favorite album would have to be "Keçkispasse?" It's absolutely amazing. Well. Most of it (my favorite song is called 'Nawak'). It's really appealing to my sensibilities because there are strange sounds and I find the music to be surprisingly melodic. But, my taste in music is completely skewed, so don't take my word for it. You can download the album here:

http://www.mediafire.com/file/jmzym5wubtd/Keçkispasse - Pleymo.zip

Let me know what you think!
This group's a bit odd, so I don't expect many of you to appreciate or like them. Just, you know, give 'em a chance, eh?

Buy it. Use it. Break it. Fix it. Trash it. Change it. Mail-upgrade it.

I've been finding some interesting pictures lately, and I've decided to share them with everyone. I'm sure you've seen some of them before, but I hope you enjoy them nonetheless!


Scooby Doo during the Zombie Apocalypse.
Notice how Fred, Shaggy, and Daphne are all dead.
It's just Velma and Scooby.
I gotta say that I think I prefer it this way.

I actually drew this one. I found this crazy-cool site:

www.zefrank.com/scribbler/scribblertoo/

I just started drawing. It was really fun.

So, If you have time, draw some pictures, and e-mail them to me:

got.sahli@gmail.com

I'll post the most interesting ones!

This is by Salvador Dalí!
It's fabulous!
At least I think it is.
It's possible that I have a thing for elephants with stilted legs.

This is almost too adorable for words.

So.

I'm not going to say much about it, since it speaks for itself.

And, well, this...

This is just rad.

Today was wonderful! We finished watching The Cove. I'm very glad to be rid of that damn thing. It was tragic. Screaming dolphins, mourning whale calls....I cried through the first half of the movie, and I thought that I would be able to make it through the second half without being quite as emotional. I held it together well enough until I heard the screeching and clicking of dolphins being murdered and of mothers watching their babies being harpooned. So, I pretty much started all out crying. I could've dealt with the images, but the sounds...no way.
After that horrible ordeal, I had my Comm. class. The professor decided to take our lesson outside. So, we sat on the steps in front of the library and she lectured us. Class ended like 30 minutes early, so Taryn and I went onto the Mall and we laid in the grass for like 45 minutes. The sun was so bright, and it was so windy. The ground was soft and just a little cold. It was perfect. I felt so connected to everything. I even fell asleep. When I woke up, I went back to Siren's for a bit until my SGA meeting.

Right now I'm watching Spice World. It's so amazing. The last time I'd seen it was when I was 7. I made my stepfather watch it with me in the theater. Back then, I didn't really pick up on all of the little slights and such. I also didn't realize that Hugh Laurie or Meat Loaf were in it. It was a rather unexpected surprise. All I noticed was the big clunky shoes and the overall cheesiness of the plot. If any of you ever get the chance, you should definitely watch this movie. 

Aggrevation dissolves into a joyous laughter!

Daily Deity!
~Kali~
Kali's my favorite Hindu goddess, if not my favorite goddess overall. She's multifaceted, and fabulous! She's associated with eternal energy, as well as change in time, where she is constant and everything around her is changing.. She was first seen as an agent of destruction and annihilation. In a more contemporary sense, she's seen as a benevolent mother. In Tantric beliefs, Kali is regarded as the unchanging energy from which the gods Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva arise and fall. And, in case you didn't know, Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva are all major deities in the Hindu faith. Kali is basically their mother. She gives them life and sustenance. 
Without her, the universe is nothing.

           Dear Nature,
Today's going to be sunny. I've already decided. So. Just go with it, okay? It's just one day. I'm sure you can manage this one little thing. I just don't want rain. I can't deal with it at the moment. It's terribly inconvenient and makes walking outside quite impossible, since my hair tends to frizz and curl when exposed to water. I really appreciate you doing this for me. You're a peach. <3
                             Thanks in advance,

Today we celebrated Pat and Jeremy's birthdays. It was fabulous. We all partied, ate food, and played Egyptian Rat-Screw. Jamie won. A lot. But I gave that skanksta a challenge. And, one day, when I've discovered the Satanic spell she uses to slow down time so that she can slap the doubles before anyone else, I'll win, fer sher!
After the party died down, we left and came back to Siren's. He and I played Yu-Gi-Oh. I don't have my own cards, so I used Frankles' deck. Siren still beat me. Fail. But it was alright.
After Frankles went to bed, Siren and I watched Tuck Everlasting. It's a damn amazing movie. It's even better when Siren and I comment on everything. We also like to interject our own lines. It makes the plot so much spicier. After that, we watched the Sex and the City movie. Fabulous. Even though it takes like 1,000 hours. We finished it at 7:00 this morning. Which was a half hour ago. >.>
Anyways, I'm tired now, so I'm gonna sleep for a few hours. I'm hoping to get a lot done today. I've got a lot to think about. And I've got plenty to do, among which is taking Siren to see his parents so that he can get things from his car and stuff from their house. Then Harold and I are going to hang out, hopefully.
I can't wait!

Don't try to live so wise...

So! Today I'm listening to some of the music that I've been neglecting for the past few months. I was on this intense (in-tents) punk/metal/hardcore binge for a while and though I absolutely love it, I've decided to take a break and listen to some of the lighter stuff in my library. This can only mean one thing:

Peruvian Pan-Flute Bands!
This band in particular, Echoes of Incas, is pretty much one of my favorites. I only have one of their albums, Cordilleras, but it's so amazing! The first song is called Celebrando and every time I hear it, I dance like a crazy fool. It's just so...wow. I generally can't ever deny an acoustic guitar being plucked my a skillful Latino. It's a thing...

Anyways. Here's a link where you can download this album:

I hope you all really enjoy this. It's a really good listen, and it'll relax and energize you all at the same time.

Attention EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jeana just called me and informed me, in her most giggly voice, that she now has a boyfriend!
His name's Mike. He's really cute and amazing. F'realz. I met him when I went down to Purdon't this past weekend.
SHE'S SO HAPPY!
I'M SO HAPPY!
And, I can only speculate (which is like being certain, at least in my case...) that Mike is also really happy.
And why wouldn't he be?
He gets to be with Jeana. And, as we all know, she's perfect. 
(He's perfect. So. They're perfect together...)
I'm gonna stop there. 
Jeana. I love you.

Hey everyone!
Look at this!
This right here!

Wasn't that the single most amazing you've seen all day? (I think my favorite part was when she was making the sandwiches...)
Don't lie.
You know it was.
It also makes prison seem so much more glamorous than I'd previously imagined. So. Everyone. Go out and commit lots of crimes. Then bring a bunch of supafly-fantastic clothes with you when you get locked up. You'll have a fabulous time, and you'll get to make out with some really butch women.
It's pretty much the best scenario possible. So. Get on that, eh?

This past weekend I went to see my friends at Purdon't,. It was fantastic! I got there late Friday night because of my Improv. show (which was pretty amazing as well). I showed up at Cassandra's house first because I was kinda lost and she was one of the two people who knew that I was coming. She showed me her apartment, and then we drove to Kimble's. When we got there, Kimble, Jeana, and Carrie were all crazy and pretty much attacked me. We talked a lot. And we made a cake. It was so cool! Then we tried to watch Fern Gully, but everyone was really tired, so we just went to sleep.
The next morning, we went to the mall, Betheny came too. We pretty much walked around for a while and made fun of people. Then we ate at Panera Bread. Delicious. After that, we shopped some more, got bored, and then went back to Kimble's and Betheny's to take a nap. Patty was watching Spiderman 2.1. At around 8:00, we started getting ready to go out. We ate spaghetti, and then left.
We went to Cassandra's party first. We stayed there until like 11:00 or so and then we went off to a frat party that Kimble had been invited to by this guy, David. He was really nice and he paid a lot of attention to Kimble. I can't really say anything bad about him, which is so unusual for me. So. That's a really good thing. It was a fairly interesting night. There was a lot of dancing, and a lot of..well...let's just say that a lot of memories were made.
I got to meet Jeana's roommate, Emma. She's so fantastic. She and I are besties now. I also got to meet Anjuli and her boyfriend, Noah. They're both pretty amazing as well. Also! I got to meet Mike. He's this incredibly cute guy who's taken interest in Jeana. I approve. He and I danced to/sang Lovegame by Lady GaGa. It was rather precious.
The next morning, Patty made pancakes. Then Carrie had to leave. I left shortly after her. I was really sad to go. I'm really going to miss being there. I love all of them so much.

When I got back to school, I showered and went over to Siren's for Dylan's surprise party. There was a lot of dancing. And much merriment was had by all. ^.^

Last night I watched The Master of Disguise with Surah and Felicia. Surah and I were working on our heresy papers while Felicia laughed her head off like a mad-woman. The entire experience was, in a word, counterproductive. I got absolutely nothing done on my paper. I pretty much spent the whole time laughing. That movie is just so ridiculous. In every facet of the word.
I did eventually finish my paper though, so now I'm going to finish my Vanishing essay (Which is late at this point...), my speech on Health Care reform, and my literature response.
They're all due tomorrow.

Last night's Improv. practice went rather well. Our new members were mostly fabulous (except for the guy who tried out tonight, he shouldn't be allowed to join) and I think this group we've got at the moment might be the best yet. I'm hoping that we're still working well with each other this Friday during our show in Cordier.
I'm not really nervous about these things anymore. I used to get jittery, but now it's just another thing that I've gotta do. I just wish I weren't feeling so incredibly...freh.
Oh well.
I've got Hall Council to deal with tonight, Gender Café tomorrow night, US on Wednesday, SGA's canceled on Thursday, and then a performance on Friday. There are papers to write, books to read, and about a billion other things to do as well.
There's no time to be distracted by silly emotions.

I was invited to go to Purdon't this weekend.
Regrettably I don't think I'll be able to make it.
I've got things on Friday, and Sunday is looking like it'll be busy as well.
Carrie, Kimble, Jeana, Cassandra - Don't hate me. Please.
I'm not nearly as okay as I seem.
You know how that goes, I'm sure.
