More Recomendations

You all are probably sick of me telling you about bands I am obsessed with. Heck, I would be sick of me too, except I completely agree with myself! Today's lesson is on The Decemberists.

When I first heard them, I thought this band was from the 1800's or something, but they just started in 2002. The album that got me hooked, and what I'm listening to right now, was The Crane Wife. IT IS AWESOME! I know that idea of folk/rock music scares you all, but this band redefines that. I gave Jel a little taste on the Weakerthans CD I made for her, but that was just a sample of their greatness. For The Crane Wife, you can't just get one song. You have to get the whole CD because all of the songs flow together.

My favorite songs on the CD are:
Yankee Bayonet - It is the best duets I've ever heard. It is so good I'm getting the girl who sang in it's stuff too.
O Valencia! - It is one of those wierd story songs that makes you go huh? It is so dare catchy too!
Shankill Butchers - It is a creepy song, but the way they sing it is like your parents are telling you a bedtime story. The last chorus sends shivers down your spine.
Sons & Daughters - It's a round! You can't help but sing a long!
After the Bombs - A great closer. Leaves you happy and content.

The other songs grow on you quickly, and looking at the play count, I've listened through the CD about 12 times now. If you want the CD, tell me and I will burn it for you. You won't regret it!

The Infamous Sax-A-Boom

Do you guys remember when I told you about the Paul Bunyan Day at Camp Manito-wish? And how they tried to make you laugh at breakfast? Well, I found a video of Jack Black playing the toy saxophone that almost made me bust a gut. Ok, so I did laugh for a long time after watching this. I REALLY want this toy. BAD.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4456267/1/Viva_La_Morte

If only you guys watched the Olympics last night!!!!! Michael Phelps and the American 4x100 freestyle team had total DESTROYED the favored French team. They beat the World Record by 4 seconds too. The last leg of the race was the best, when the American guy(can't remember his name) past the French guy right at the end. A great way to end the race.

Michael Phelps - 2 down, 6 to go. GO FOR THE GOLD MICHAEL!!!!!!!!!

LA LA LA WHERE ARE YOU GUYS!!!!

I know you guys probably haven't went online in years, and that this post will once again be ignored, I still like to type out my life, which I will.

I think the problem with my fan fiction writer's block is that I only get inspiration when a new book comes out. Looking back at when I posted everything before, everything was writing when either DH or Eclipse came out, and the same thing is happening with BD. READ MY STUFF!!! NEW STORY AND NEW ATTACK OF THE SONG-FIC STUFF!!!!!!

I know Angelica at least is not watching the Olympics, but I can't help it. It's the Olympics for God's sake! The opening ceremony was awesome! Matt Lauwer(sp?) was hosting and it was like a 'countdown to the US' thing. Every other counrty he'd say something like "the US is still coming" or "there are only 20 countries left till the US". When they lit the torch, they got this guy to hold the flame and they suspended him in the air. They lifted him all the way to the top of the stadium, made him go all the way around, and then lit this cool looking cauldren thing for the flame. And then the fireworks came. Knowing China, I should have excepted a lot, but they had all of Bejing shooting off these crazy fireworks! It was awesome.

Then this morning I watched some Polish guy kick some Estonian guys butt at badminton. It was awesome.

Brotherly Love: Revisited

I was randomly going through all of my old reviews that I posted when I cam across all of my old reviews for Brotherly Love. A beautiful tale of the Jonas Brothers sleeping with each other. Laughing to myself, I went back to that great piece of fan fiction and went to see some of the other reviews left resently. Apparently, people had been busy. Here are some samples of the next generation of flamers/idiots that will follow us.

k8tiee - Either you are a very clever troll or just a plain ** writer. Please never write again until you stop taking English lessons from a three year old.

deone - that was soo good i was wonderign if you would be in to doin a nick/joe story that incorperated me foot fetish let me no xoxo

roflwaffle22 - im going to make this clear and simple to all you flamers.
GET A LIFE! why are you judging someone on the way they write, when you didnt have to read it at all?!?!?!
you all disgust me, you pendejos.
yeah its a**hole in spanish.
and who cares about typos?
everyone makes mistakes!
ohh, i loved this story by the way, but try to make it a little less, odd, like they jsut confessed their love and now they're ready to have sex... slow it down a tad
loved it though
make a second chapter

Nick J All The Way - WHAT THE ** HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?! OMG!

peaceloveJONASx - sorry, but this is kinda bad. take like a creative writing class or something.

Aoiki Chojutsuka - I love the way people have talk using reviews...moving on to my rant.

I'm sorry but your grammers awful, the story made no sense, and
I think I just died a little inside.

I'll edmit I like incest...yaoi...threesomes...and all that but oh my god there is no better way to say this but you suck.

You can improve though get a beta,(hell even I need a beta), keep writing, do not ignore flames(they help you understand what your doing wrong), and don't get overly cocky. Trust me I was bad to once and even now I'm not so good but the more you write and read the better you get.

Twitchylicious - For God's sake, Lady Murray! I don't like this story, either, but you don't have to say that Kandy wants to have sex with her sister/brother! And I don't think Kandy cares how perverted you think this story is. Because I know I wouldn't. I would write whatever the hell I felt like writing. Why don't you just back off and leave Kandy alone? If you don't like this story, oh well! Sorry, but I'm sick of people insulting writers just because they write about something they think is perverted or retarded.

sandy2x400 - Piece of advice: Never write again. Thanks

Well, Since Nobody Is Commenting...

Seriously, where is everybody? Hello? Is anybody there?

Jeez, I almost peed my pants this morning. Was the storm bad near your guys' houses? It was like hell was circling my house! I woke up around 6 and got up to shut a window, when CRACK!!!!! Lightning struck pretty much in my face right when I shut my window. I screamed a little bit, and hid under my covers.
...what?
Then, TWO more struck literally in my yard! I must have pissed off God a lot recently. I feel back a sleep after a while, but then I had a bad dream where lightning hit the tree in my front yard and then the tree fell on my room, with my in bed.

Plasma is scary.

Chris Martin is freaky! BUT AWESOME!!!!!

Babbling

God, I have I Kissed A Girl by Katy Perry stuck in my head. I have no idea why, but it is getting SOOOO annoying!

I just watched Children of Men. It was AWESOME!!!!!! I LOVE Clive Owen. He is one of my favorite actors, which makes that movie even cooler! It is so realistic though...

Breaking Dawn is coming out tomorrow! Yes!!!!! I'm wearing my goth corset to the release. I feel like such a rebel.

The only Kanye West song I like, because Chris Martin from Coldplay is in it!

That Is So Cuil

Are you sick of Google?

Do you wish there was something other search engine you could use?

How about cuil.com? It's from the guy who came up with Google! Isn't that cuil!

Anyway...if you're bored and looking for a quick laugh, go to http://www.freewebs.com/twilightunraveled/forum.htm

It is Monica's Twilight forum. The only people that post on it are me and her. She tries to come up with cool, I mean cuil, theories, but I always shoot them down. WARNING! Some of the topics kind of jump the posts around, so you have to figure out which came first.

Happy Holidays from Your Friendly Demonic Balloon

I had no idea I actually recorded this.

From Punishment to Freedom

As you all know I got in trouble for saying fuck in an email and lost all rights to anything. As you've probably noticed, however, I'm back! And alone! That's right folks! My entire family is gone for the weekend, leaving me at home alone to do whatever the hell I want!

That just goes to show how wimpy punishment is in my family.

We should watch this movie for the next movie night.


I watched it a few days ago, and I couldn't stop laughing!

I'm Leaving...Again

Yes my friends, it is about that time of the year when I contimplate suicide. Jk, but seriously, I'm leaving again for a volleyball camp, and I'm not coming home till Wednesday. AM I EVER HOME!?!?!?!

As you probably noticed, I wasn't here when you guys went to see Dark Knight. I was at the cabin, burning myself in grief. As a result, I have burned only the right side of my back and not the left. Curious. Hope the movie was good.

Until Wednesday.

And You Thought Your Siblings Were Bad...

When I got back from camp, I found out that Cole was grounded for a month. I didn't ask why, because I didn't care. But today I asked my dad. Apparently, Cole stole some alcohol from the basement, brought it up to the cabin, and got drunk with his friends. He denied it at first, but admitted to it after realizing that my parents weren't fools.

I am ashamed of Cole, and right now, he has lost all the trust I had had in him.

Word to My N-Words

Since you have already seen me and spoken to me, for the most part, I will make my 'Hey, I'm back!' schpell(sp?) short and sweet.


Hey, I'm back!


I'm sorry ya'll, but I have to leave again next week for a volleyball camp that I completely forgot about. I really don't want to go, but I have no choice.

Ummm...what else should I say...ummm...how about nothing?

Till We Meet Again

Well, I'm off tomorrow. Like the great procrastinator I am, I did the bulk of my packing tonight. I'm not even done. There are just some things you have to do the morning of.

I hope Jenny is doing okay. I hate having to leave during her time of need.

Have a happy 4th of July! I'll try and look across Lake Superior to see some fireworks, but I doubt I'll be able to see any.

I'm going taking a bunch of pictures. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!!

Later,
Murray

Bo Fo Sho

I know I just posted, but I thought I would put the songs on Bo Burnham's EP up. There are some new ones and some olds ones.

Bo'Fo'Sho'
H-O-A-R
High School Party (Girl)
3.14 Apple Pi
Sunday School
My Whole Family...

What If I Said...

What if I said that you guys can come up to my cabin next weekend? What if I said it would be from Friday to Sunday? What WOULD you say?

Do you guys want to Rock Band today? We could go out to lunch too. I'm bored, and with my inpending trip, I'm trying to soak up as much of you guys as you can probably tell.



TOMORROW!!!! COLDPLAY!!!! BO BURNHAM!!!!! AAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

THE PREQUEL!!!!!!

Here is the short little prequel to Harry Potter that JKR wrote. Enjoy!

The speeding motorcycle took the sharp corner so fast in the darkness that both policemen in the pursuing car shouted,"Whoa!" Sergeant Fisher slammed his large foot on the brake, thinking that the boy who was riding pillion was sure to be flung under his wheels; however, the motorbike made the turn without unseating either of its riders, and with a wink of its red tail lights, vanished up the narrow side street.

"We've got 'em now!" cried PC Anderson excitedly. "That's a dead end!"

Leaning hard on the steering wheel and crashing his gears, Fisher scraped half the paint off the flank of the car as he forced it up the alleyway in pursuit.

There in the headlights sat their quarry, stationary at last after a quarter of an hour's chase. The two riders were trapped between a towering brickwall and the police car, which was now crawling towards them like some growling luminous-eyes predator.

There was so little space between the car doors and the walls of the alley that Fisher and Anderson had difficulty extricating themselves from the vehicle. It injured their dignity to have to inch, crab-like, towards the miscreants. Fisher dragged his generous belly along the wall, tearing buttons off his shirt as he went, and finally snapping off the wing mirror with his backside.

"Get off the bike!" he bellowed at the smirking youths, who sat basking in the flashing blue light as though enjoying it.

They did as they were told, finally pulling free from the broken wing mirror, Fisher glared at them. They seemed to be in their late teens. The one who had been driving had long black hair, his insolent good looks reminded Fisher unpleasantly of his daughter's guitar-playing, layabout boyfriend. The second boy also had black hair, though his was short and stuck up in all directions; he wore glasses and a broad grin. Both were dressed in t-shirts emblazoned with a large golden bird; the emblem, no doubt, of some deafening, timeless rock band.

"No helmet!" Fisher yelled, pointing from one uncovered head to the other. "Exceeding the speed limit by-by a considerable amount!" (In fact, the speed registered had been greater than Fisher was prepared to accept that any motorcycle could travel.) "Failure to stop for the police!"

"We'd have loved to stop for a chat," said the boy in glasses,"only we were trying--"

"Don't get smart-you two are in a heap of trouble!" snarled Anderson. "Names!"

"Names?" repeated the long-haired driver."Er-Well, let's see. There's Wilberforce...Bathsheba...Elvendork..."

"And what's nice about that one is, you can use it for a boy OR a girl," said the boy in glasses.

"Oh, our names, did you mean?" asked the first, as Anderson spluttered with rage."You should've said! This here is James Potter, and I'm Sirius Black!"

"Things'll be seriously black for you in a minute, you cheeky little-"

But neither James nor Sirius was paying attention. They were suddenly as alert as gundogs, staring past Fisher and Anderson, over the roof of the police car, at the dark mouth of the alley. Then, with identical, fluid movements, they reached into their back pockets.

For the space of a heartbeat both policemen imagined guns gleaming at them, but a second later they saw that the motorcyclists had drawn nothing more than-

"Drumsticks?" jeered Anderson. "Right pair of jokers, aren't you? Right, we're arresting you on a charge of--"

But Anderson never got to name the charge. James and Sirius had shouted something incomprehensible, and the beams from the headlights had moved.

The policemen wheeled around, then staggered backwards. Three men were flying-actually flying- up the alley on broomsticks-and at the same moment,the police car was rearing up on its back wheels.

Fisher's knee bucked; as he sat down hard; Anderson tripped over Fisher's legs and fell on top of him, as flump-bang-crunch- they heard the mean on brooms slam into the suspended car and fall, apparently insensible, to the ground, while broken bits of broomstick clattered down around them.

The motorbike had roared into life again. His mouth hanging open, Fisher mustered the strength to look back at the two teenagers.

"Thanks very much!" called Sirius over the throb of the engine."We owe you one!"

"Yeah, nice meeting you!" said James. "And don't forget: Elvendork! It's unisex!"

There was an earth-shaking crash, and Fisher and Anderson threw their arms around each other in fright; their car had just fallen back to the ground. Now it was the motorcycle's turn to rear. Before the policemen's disbelieving eyes, it took off into thin air: James and Sirius zoomed away into the night sky, their tail light twinkling behind them like a vanishing ruby.

Procrastinator!

I should be working on my English... but I'm not!

Please Daddy, Please!

The Potter Prequel

I kind of made a bad you guys. You remember when I said JK Rowling is writing an 800 page prequel? Well apparently it is 800 words, not pages. It was for a charity thing and it is readable in August.
Oopsy!

Drunk People

Last night was scary. Really scary. I got home and my mom had a bunch of people over. I was forced to hide in my room for hours. I was gonna stay there for a while longer, but then I was summoned down. They wanted me to play piano for me. My hand still hurts from that. After that, I made a huge mistake. I told her about today, about you guys coming over to play Rock Band. My mom, who was of course a little drunk at the time, had a strike of inspiration and made me teach Rock Band to all of her drunk friends. We only made it through one song, Say It Ain't So, because everybody sucked, royally.

My 17 B-Day is Going to Be Awesome

It is still in the developement mode, but I am probably going to LONDON for my birthday and Christmas! BOOSH!

How was A New Brain? And Narnia(don't give anything away)?

You guys should have come to the jazz thing. It was awesome. We all wore sunglasses and had our music blow all over the place cuz it was so windy. Afterwards was fun too. We had a coook-out at McKearn and a soccor game too. The cook-out was fun. We ran out of matches so Nate had to ride his bike home to get a lighter. While we waited, Joe and Carl climbed a tree and Marcus and Micheal throw sticks and kicked soccor balls at them. Mykel spilled the beans(literally) and Nate almost throw-up a beef nugget. The soccor game was okay. I really suck at soccor, but I guess they didn't kow that, since Mykel made me a midfielder, which is someone who runs the most. Plus side, so was Dan.;) My team lost. It wasn't a surprise since the other team had Matt Santas(who, when he was a goalie at one point, managed to score), and Jose Perez(shocker there).

Tye-Dye and Ritalin

I've got two good stories to tell you guys! One is a Sherry story and the other is a baseball story.

In Chemistry today, Froemming was giving us the specific details on tye-dying, which we are going to do next week. We he was done, he said that after we were done, we have to wear the tye-dyed clothes next Friday for a grade. Sherry was in shock. She was freaking out. She was trying to come up with ways to get away with not wearing the clothes, but she failed. I suggested that she buy a white Hollister shirt and then dye it, but she just ignored me. She is afraid of the idea of not wearing Hollister everyday. Poor her.

As for the baseball story, the Turner varsety team had to play the Brodhead JV team because the entire varsety team got suspended for the rest of the season. Apparently, the catcher for the varsety team had ADD, so he had to have Ritalin patches, but Ritalin, when used on someone without ADD, is like crack. So, the catcher gave patches to everyone else on the team to get them 'pumped up' for games. Naturally, they all got caught. Naughty boys.

The KKK? In Willy Wonka?

Yeah, thanks to Jenny and Gabrielle, whenever someone asks me how the middle school play went, I will just remember the scene were the grandparents look like KKK members. I am scared now.

I was wondering...does anyone want to come over tomorrow after school? It wouldn't be a whole day thing sadly, cause I have a game, but it would be fun!

Think about it...

Play this game! It's awesome! http://www.winterrowd.com/maze/

Good Luck Y'all!

I hope everyone does good this weekend in the State Solo Ensemble! It seems like it is all of us, except Liz. We should do something for her so she isn't so sad...

I have a feeling driving both Liane and Gabrielle up in my car is going to be a mistake. We are going to get in an accident and die.

I bet you wouldn't care, but I just downloaded two really cool songs from people I've never heard of. They are The Wonderlust King by Gogol Bordello and Winter Windows by Sea Wolf. I also really like the song Suzie by Boy Kill Boy. Just putting it out there.

Foo!

After watching this, I sure felt the urge to treat my mom with respect! I know you will too!



I'm bored. And it's only Friday night. Poop.

Here is the reply I got back from Kandy.

CAN YOU STOP PUTTING A REVIEW IF YOU DONT LIKE IT DONT READ IT! WOW YOUR ANNOYING AND I KNOW I HAVE SPELLING ISSUES! ITS NOT MY FUALT I CANT SPELL GOOD BECUSE I HAVE A BLOCKAGE OF MEMORY FROM A CAR CRASH!

Ok, I might sound mean when I say this, but a car crash really has nothing to do with writing a sick and perverted story, and as for the spelling thing, there is a magical tool called spell check.

Mmmm...Chocolate

My mom chewed out on me today about my addiciton to chocolate. She was doing one of her usually rants about how I'll never be a good softball player if I keep eating chocolate, but I've learned to block it out. Thank God she hasn't found out about how I buy two candy bars almost daily from Holly.

My Cartisian Diver is almost done! The people are done and I just got the pie tins to make the spaceship tomorrow. I am confident in saying that it will be the bomb-shizzit when it is done.

Peace out homegirls.

Cloverfield Monster for Murray

ROAARRR!

Master of Secrets

As you probably noticed, I have found a way to put music on the blog. MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!! Master of secrets, right here!
I was really bored when I found out how to do this, so I got really hyper and I listened to these songs over and over again.
Around minute 4:30, they say Carl. I don't know how I caught that...

To tell the truth, Beth has one on her blog, so I stole her idea. She is so unoriginal, all she had was Beatles stuff.

I can only imagine in the next few weeks everyone(except Liz, cause she never goes on!!!!) will have one.

Memories

I had nothing else better to do today, so I looked at the comments of some of my old posts. Well, actually it was all the old Manola posts. They are easy to find, since we commented about 20 times on those special ones. I was laughing so hard. And then near the end of most of them, Jelly would just come in and say, "reading these comments makes me feel like a freshman". LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I secretly wish someone random butts in on my blog again.

How Was Your Trip?

Well, the ride up was lame. I was in Miranda's car going to Horicon and all the JV girls in there hate me. Horicon was a little boring, but we did practice with one of Horicon's seniors who is getting a full scholorship to a Division I school. She played catch with Lauren and we all though Lauren was going to die because that girl threw so hard.

I went with Coach Hess on the way to Sheboygan and it was actually okay. We talked the whole time, so the ride went fairly quick. WE got to Sheboygan and practiced in an indoor field, which was okay, and then I went to a water park! I screamed hard core down kiddie rides and races Ilse, Megan, Zoe, and Melissa on every ride. Did you know WI passed a law saying that kids 5 and under couldn't go in Hot Tubs? Lame.

THe next day we practiced in the morning and then did what every we wanted for the rest of the day. I just sat in my room and prank texted people with Zoe and Kiki. We stole Miranda's phone for a while. That night we all played laser tag til 9:00 and then we played Mafia and Catch Phrase til 1:00 am. I lost my camera during that time.

I woke up early the next day to go dumpster diving to find my camera. Doretta threw it away accidentally. We went back to Horicon, I busted my knee, and then I came back home.

THE END!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bye-Bye

Well, I'm off.

I have a feeling that it really won't be as fun as I hoped it would be, even though I wasn't really hoping for much...None of you guys will be there.

MAKE SURE TO LISTEN TO WVFI ON TUESDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Look on the Hierarchy, oh sorry, Higherarchy blog fo more details.

Later!

So...Sore...

So, after a week of softball tryouts, I have concluded that my legs will forever be in pain. My butt hurts too.

Liz, did you listen to Jingle Cats yet!?!?! I know you did. It is pretty valuble you know.

Take me to Deutschland.

This is the Cullen family. I really don't want to say anything about it.

Come on people! Vote!!! I have no idea what my first priority is!!!!!

By the way, on www.maximumride.com, they that the first two chapters up!

...Pass...

Angelica, I ask Cole what I should blog about, and it was very inappropriate, so I just won't say it.

I am to tired to do anything right now. I can't take a nap, because I have pep band pretty soon and I have to do my laundry too.

I hope Liz and Jenny are having fun with their sweaters. I would prefer a different brand, if you know what I'm sayin'.

I LOVE SNOW

AND COLD!!!!!! It is so COOL!!!!!!! My dad told me to blog about that.

Um...Sun Prarie(sp?) tomorrow!

In honor of me hating Zac Efron.

God Hates Me

I had to shovel ALL DAY yesterday and early in the morning today! Why?!?!?!?! That snow was SOOO heavy! Cole was plowing through it in a sprint! How!? Am I that weak!

A part from breaking my back, I really want to hangout today. I NEED human interaction. Destroying people in RockBand duels just isn't enough! Somebody, ANYBODY, talk to ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you don't answer, then fine. Nobody answered my last post(glares all around) so I expect the same results.

Breaking Dawn is coming out August 2 of this year!

Help Please?

I"m trying to think of my third actress to be Bella in my Search for the Perfect Cast story. Any suggestions?

The movie starts at 9:00. That is pretty late... we'd have to watch the entire basketball game.

Another option is to see it BEFORE the game if you can't make the late night showing. It is about 1 hr and 30 mins. if you were wondering.

Early Morning Post

Liz, just to make you happy, I posted We're Not in This Together on fanficiton.net.

Don't you just love 2 hour delays? Not! WE have to get Mr. Melrose to let us out early so that we can sit someewhere, along with the rest of the school.

IMPORTANT!!!!

Okay, apparently Rescue Squad is on Holly's Myspace! Somebody get over there and put that video on their blog!!!!!!!

I realize that I never post, and I'm sorry. I guess it was easier updating in the summer when we didn't see each other everyday.

Honor Band was...okay. Playing the same songs over and over again is very dull after a while. The best part about it was lunch. Jelly, Ilse, Dan and I were at the very back of the line at lunch, but it was okay! We had fun. I freaked out about how big the schools carrots were, Dan made fun of me for that. Ilse tried to steal my double chocolate cookie and Dan complained about how milk tasted like water. I don't think I laughed more in my entire life. Wait, scratch that. There probably was a different time when I laughed more, but you get the point.

I'm really hungry. I'm gonna go snack on some munchies.

This video is guarenteed to make you pee your pants if you love Star Wars. I know I almost did! I saw it years ago and I just rediscovered it!


I dare you guys to come to the Variety Show this weekend. I DARE YOU!!!

Well, that was a slow weekend. I just sat around the whole time and got yelled at for doing said activities. I am so lazy.

Has anyone actually done anything for that solo and ensemble homework for band, becuase I'm gonna go out there and say I haven't practiced at all.

I Got My License!

The road test was very easy. I did great, except for randomly(and accidentally) stopping in the middle of the road.

That video was a montage of one of my favorite MST3K movies. I laughed the entire time.

I think we need to have a movie night soon. I know Liz, Jenny and Jelly had a big New Year's Bash, but what about the rest of us that had to spend it with our relatives(shudders). Lets get on it.
