Best Weekend :)

And it's not even over yet! Man it's just been a great weekend with no parents and lots of quality time with the man I love. I couldn't have asked for anything more! Now I'm blogging from McDonalds with the little brat and doing some weird thinking.

It's like the day of ex boyfriends. I think one of em was in my dream, I saw one of them at Canes, and then Owen mentioned a junebug and I got all sad because it reminded me of another. Weird. Oh yeah, and then a song came on my iPod that reminded me of yet another :P It's like some weird blast from the past. Weird.

I hope I'm making some good money off this kid. I got some dues to pay and some Ren Faire tickets to buy!

On The Subject Of Diamonds And Rust

Joan Baez - The original, very beautiful voice and fantastic playing.

Judas Priest - Uhhh, the heavy version sounds like awful. I mean, it's great playing, but I don't like their take on it. It's not musical at all. Strong vocals, love it. **HOWEVER** Their acoustic version is very very nice and plays great homage to the original for such a genre jump. Not too big on Rob's jumpy voice in some bits, but the overall sound clarity makes up for it and I can enjoy it.

Blackmore's Night - Biased, because it was the first version I heard, but my favorite, ha ha. Candace's voice is very close to Joan's, so points there, plus it's so musical and the way she belts out certain lines makes me feel golden and awesome. Such a pretty cover.

Yesssss. I'm a music snob. Not really, I just like covers. And I can't sleep.

Five Months

Ahhh, and so today marks five months. Five comfortable, loving, and wonderful months. Here's to many more!

Man, last night was so great :) It was just so nice and... comfortable? Everything just felt right and I couldn't have asked for a better night :) Well, maybe without Emma flipping shits. That would have been great.

Today was a bullshit day filled with a graduation meeting, lunch, meeting the new guard director, drawing, doing band chores, taking notes, more drawing, and watching dumb films on water. TAKS week blows :P

I can't help but wonder. I shouldn't, because it's way over my head, but I still think. When? I know it's possible. I know it's been thought of before. I know the lightbulb flicked on during the exchange of those words. When? I wish I could stop thinking and turn my brain off and quit analyzing the world.

I'm so sick of people telling me to major in something that will get me a good job. I want to do something I love. I don't care if I'm not making 200,000 a year, I just want to be happy and comfortable. I refuse to have a job that I hate...Gahh. I know this won't be the last time I say that college is stressful... I'm not even there yet and already I'm getting bogged down.

I've got a new favorite song. Diamonds and Rust.

Looking Back On Prom Night

What I would give to go back in time and re-do it all. Everything was just a disaster and full of drama, and will forever carry that negative connotation in my mind. Ugh, I wish I could just forget it all. Maybe I should start with hanging up my dress and getting that out of my sight.

I wonder what prom will be like for my kids one day. I wonder how different it'll be and what the dresses will look like and the flower styles. Good God, I'm such a girl. Maybe I need to go to sleep, it's been a long night of fighting dragons, boars, elks, leapordesses, monkey thieves, foxes, and goblins...

I found a new band today! I was reading this online rock and metal magazine and it had an article about this project that a few guys from big power metal bands started called Symfonia and I am in LOOOVEEEE. I love me some good power metal, and those guys are dead on. I also downloaded some more Blackmore's Night and Lady Gaga's "Judas" and threw all of it on the iPod, plus Dark Moor from last week, another wonderful musical find. I think while I'm waiting for Imaginarium, I'm gonna be on a power metal kick. But once Nightwish delivers, I'll be back on that symphonic and gothic metal kick hands down :P LOVE IT! Also, new fave song by Symfonia called "Don't Let Me Go".

xx Don't Let Me Go, I'm Here To Stay Marz

Ugh, Kamelot :(

I keep listening to them... I keep getting sad. Sorry iPod, I know it hurts you, too. But to make up for my musical sadness, I look instead towards the new Nightwish album and relish in the pictures and diaries posted :)

Marco is NOT happy by Ewo's cookie. Look at his angry little face all in the dark corner :)

Emppu's face cracks me up for some reason. I love the lighting on this photo, very dramatic and golden! Ahhh Nightwish, you guys keep me alive with all your hair and music.

Tomorrow morning, my first morning of TAKS week, I have to take the computer in to get it looked at :/ How weird is it gonna look with me carrying an iMac around the mall? Ha ha, laaaame. Oh well, hopefully they can fix it or at least help out. I'll have to make sure and dress cute to try and charm my way into a discount of sorts ;)

I don't get it. I'm a lazy asshole and I hardly turn anything in in env sys, yet I'm still making an 84. How awesome! And a 93 in English is fabulous :) Let's hope I maintain a good lazy/productive balance. Maybe today I'll do my env sys worksheets... or maybe tomorrow during class. I dunno, both are nice options. I love how Sarah said she took AP English to keep herself busy and ward off senioritis with a challenging class... bullshit, that class is easy as balls, plus I have major senioritis and don't do half my work and still score higher than her on everything. Booyah.

Victor and I went to Chili's for lunch, and man was it good. I love me some boneless buffalo wings and ranch, nom nom nom. Plus with his Brinker card, we get half off :) I wish I could get one, but I joined OTB at the wrong time :P Got work at Fish tonight, and something tells me the tornado sirens might be keeping people away. Might be...

Hi, My Name Is Marissa

I love weddings.
I subconciously organize things by color.
I think skeletons are beautiful.
I feel alive when I hear rain.
I get more excited about drying my flowers than keeping them alive.
I secretly like my job because I can wear black.
I know how to rock a hot glue gun.
I love church architecture.
I secretly judge other girls' makeup jobs.
I don't like people.
I'll never be scared or lonely again.

Mental Blogging

I really wish my brain was linked to this blog, so I could just mentally blog what I'm thinking of instead of trying to remember it later.

It's another sad day in the music world. I read that Roy Khan was leaving Kamelot for a number of reasons... Kamelot just won't be the same. Now, I'm going to support the new singer and the new CDs and whatnot, but Kamelot's sad ballads will be sad without Roy's golden voice :( "Don't You Cry", "Love You To Death", "Anthem", "Wander", and "Abandoned" are some of my favorite slow, sad songs ever and will only sound magnificent when sung by him :( I'm sad... they're like, my second favorite band behind Nightwish.

Went to Fuel City last night, but had to deal with everyone bitching about how shady and ghetto it looked. "Oh my God, tacos from a gas station? Ew~!" "Wahhhh these made me sick!" "There's Mexicans and black people!" Oh my GOD, GET OVER IT. Welcome to Dallas, now get the hell out of my car. Seriously. I need friends that actually like food and can get off their high horses and eat differently for once. Good God. I enjoyed my damn tacos.

Sooooo we just had Easter dinner and it was lame. I'm not a fan of Easter food... ham is so so (Unless we're talking ham and cheese and mayo sandwich), I'm not a fan of scalloped potatoes, cheesey broccoli is good, and although I love mom's deviled eggs, they make me incredibly sick. Plus it's just no fun sitting at dinner with my parents. It's awkward and dull and the conversation always turns into reprimanding me for something. Ughhh.

Now I'm sitting here working on economics and sort of putting off my oceans book. Which I really need to do. I might just type it all up and draw shitty pictures like everyone else. How lazy of me :P It's late anyways, but if I slip it in the pile while he's out of the room, he'll never notice! I love crazy old man teachers :)

Ughhh. It's wedding Sunday. Why aren't I watching my wedding shows?! SHIT.
