About me? Just read the damn blog.

So yeah...the MTV awards.

Jimmah was funny. Funny, funny...yeah! Show was good. It had:

Good moments (Coldplay and White Stripes win)

Dissapointing moments (Norah Jones, no win)

Awesome-crazy moments (The Hives and The Vines performance)

Sad moments (Lisa Lopez)

Amusing moments (Eminem being booed)

Surprising moments (Guns 'N Roses performance)

I liked Timberlake's boom box, Michael Jackson's cake, Triumph's insults and Pink's drunkiness self. I think.

I think that Jimmah feller REALLY likes Axel.

"Axeeel. Where's Axle? Hi Axle!" Heh heh.

::fans herself with hand::

Wooo. MAN! I couldn't stop laughing just now. Someone had left me a message on the Tagboard and I decided to check this intruder's blog. That's when I read his entry for today:

Crap. Anyways, I guess I'll have to resubmit my page... maybe this time I'll spam every search engine with my good name. On the flip side, I found out I was linked by a complete stranger! That just made my day. Somehow, someway, someone stumbled on my POS and thought it was kewl enough to link from their site.

*Sniff*

I haven't read his journal in ages (I rarely read anyone's journal, anyway). I must say, "David" made a AWESOME improvement on his template/layout. It has cool graphics and stuff. I hope to inform him that the blog that he had found his link in isn't my URL anymore. As some of you might remember, it used to be thoughtsofanoxy.blogspot.com and I changed it to whatever is up there now.

::silent::

Me! A stranger! AHAHAH. Well, yeah, I guess I am.

.....

Anyway, I thought that was amusing for some reason.

"No, Brian those chicken wings are really spicy, don't eat those!"

"Cristal, it's me Julian"

"Oh yeah, what's up?"

"Are you watching TV?"

"Noo, why?"

"Well, a bunch of police cars and helecopters were all over my Aunt's house right now. They arrested this murderer in front of our lawn and they told the whole neighborhood to leave."

"What?"

"Yeah, we are at Starbucks right now. My aunt wanted to stay and watch while eating some popcorn."

"What the fuck? Hahaha, she's fuckin' crazy."

"Yeah, I know. So, watch channel 7 and 13. They were there."

"Alrighty, I'll let you know."

"Ok see ya."

"Bye."

So yeah. There was a comotion down in Pomona this evening. I'm glad I don't live there anymore. Crazy people live there. ;)

Here is a picture of the actor who is playing Draco's father dressed like Lucius Malfoy!


A few new toys from CoS movie:

Snape and his Caludron
Harry and Gryffindor's sword!
Malfoy and his Nimbus 2001
Dobby the House Elf!

Today, Coldplay's new CD (and probably the last) has debuted!

And I didn't get to buy it. Why?

::sticks her hands in her pockets and takes out the pant flags::

No fuckin' money. Balderdash!

Monday, August 26, 2002

Yes, it's that feeling. My heart is beating fast, I am sweating up a bit, and tired as hell.

I hate feeling nauseous. I guess I won't eat cereal and juice ever again.

I have been putting off a lot things. You already know that people have been an issue with me, but now...my school work is falling apart. I don't seem to find interest in it anymore. I am not the type of person who can pick whatever they like and work with that. All that money. Is it going to do good for me? Ah yes, regret. It never fails to come around. I was telling myself on the my way here (school), "Everything I say, I never care and forget about after I had said it." Even if it's a second after. I also wonder if that's good.

So basically, everything I have typed before this sentence...means nothing to me.

I want to have that perfect sleep. That sleep that makes you say, "Damn, that was some good, perfect sleep." NOT feeling tired is what I seek. To feel relaxed and worry-free. Is there such thing? Who knows. I tend to change from time to time. My hair, for example: I need to dye this son of a bitch again. I keep thinking back to black cherry, but then I remind myself of how much that color sucks ass. So, black it is.

Mindless rambling. I do well in that.

Saturday, August 24, 2002

Woot! I am done with the Harry Potter tab. Well, making a page for it, anyway.

I posted a few extra goodies aswell. it looks cheap and I might change it later, but for now...

Ta-da.

You can see it --->here!

School. School, school, school.

Everything seems so...redundant in school right now. I've seen the movie, The Edge, TWICE already. I am sick of it. I kinda like my Intro to GD class. It's long and sometimes it's boring, but I am learning actual graphics. In fact, I am learning! Unlike the other classes that involve quizzes that I will never study for and homework that can be done by my 12 year old sister. It's good, though. I suppose it can be worse. So yeah, I will shut up.

They fans should visit Computer Might Be Giants more often. It has lots of neat stuff! OK, so...it needs to be updated a little, but dammit I know how "ugh" it can be at times. I don't really like to update something big myself. I know Mr. Logan there will do something to it sometime soon.

::rolls her eyes::

I found more pictures...---> here!

and ----> HERE!


I also found some idiotic but entertaining posts in this site. I must say...some just care TOO much and can't have a little fun once in a while. Pffft.

Have fun!

Abra-cow-dabra!


It's great how much influence the Harry Potter books have...

even if it has to do with cows.

>Which Quidditch position should you play?
Quiz by

You love Quidditch, but you just aren't much of an athlete. Instead, you go to every game and support your team and cheer really loudly. They all know you by name and look forward to seeing you all the time.

Here are a few more COS pictures:

Ginny (you have all seen her in the HP Year one movie)


Moaning Myrtle! Woo!


Lucius Malfoy! Ick!


Madam (Poppy) Pomfrey!


Professor Sprout!


Slytherin Common Room with Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle.


There are MANY more, but those are the ones that I have more interest in. Of course, the others are in the trailer. There is no need to post those.

They are laughing now...

::frowns::

I made a barcode.



You can make one of your own ---> here.

I forgot to mention what I heard on the news yesterday...early evening.

Dave Williams...dead.

The agony! Now, Cristal...stop bitching.

O, how I crave to grab a hold of my Bear and fall asleep right now. Pull warm blankets over my mellow body and have them sheild me from sorrow. Dream about my usual dreams, but I fear what will come if I do. I don...

I just heard my step father come in the house and my heart is pounding with fear...now I sit here and wait for what is about to come. I turned up the volume to "I Stay Away." I can't bear to hear them argue.

Anyway, I was going to mention that I don't want to wake up to my stepfather's voice telling me to get up and help my mother because she drank gasoline. I don't want to smell that gas or hear my mother crying in the bathroom again. I haven't heard any screams so far. I can't believe how much this bullshit is making me paranoid. I guess I don't want to go through another divorce.

I need to talk with my father. He comforted me the last time this happend, but everytime I tell him something he let's some skeletons out of the closet. I just end up making assumptions about certain people and feeling vengeful or hatred. I wonder when I will be ready to move out and get away from problems. I don't understand why some people crave drama. Why can't some just leave things be?

I hope God is listening to my heart right now.

My sister just wheeled herself in my room just now...

"Something's wrong with my mom."

"What? What do you mean?"

"I think she is in the garage pounding."

So, I get up and I take her to her room and told her to stay there. I stood next to the door just in case I hear something. I heard nothing, but I knew she was out there. My stepdad is still out and has't come back. I bet she assumes that he is drunk somewhere.

FUCKER!

If he knows that him being gone this late and being drunk pisses her off, then why they fuck does he still do it! I am SICK of his drunk ass!

She just came back in her room...

I am trying to listen to what she is doing...and I hear nothing. I think I hear crying. Shit, I hate this. I think she is still banging in the garage. Fuck. No, I was wrong...she has plastic bags and I think she is packing clothes. But whose? If she leaves us again...I am going to crack. I hate her for this. I hate him. Why can't they act responsibly and be the so-called adults that they are. I think this is it. Everything that I feared might happen. I don't think I can handle this. Especially now, since my sister is here to witness what happened two months ago.

Why.

I missed looking at Mark Ryden's paintings.



It's been over a year since I discovered his work. (jeeze, time goes by fast)

So, my disconnection from the world continues. I feel pleasantly bored. Sleepy, but awake. Withdrawn. It's morbidly funny. I know that I have so much to say and offer, but I can't bring myself to do it. I feel like that purple Teletubbie up there. I should keep myself busy with my guitar again. I bet I can play the Harry Potter prologue! Or at least try. Dammit, if I can play the intro to Dueling Banjos, I can play the HP theme song.

That's it! I need a new hobby! I wonder why I didn't figure that out sooner. Oh yeah, and just buy myself some toys. I need more toys. TOYS, Toys! I can't get enough of them. I need to get myself that Slinky. Ahhhhrrrg, my friend, Eileen, wants to see Signs. I don't care too much for that movie (at least not yet), but I haven't seen her in a looong while...so the fuck with it. It might actually be a good movie. She is only going because Mel Gibson is in it. Me...I need some fresh air and a slap in the eye.


Which HP Kid Are You?


Yeah...so true. Embarrassing at times, but TRUE! ::sigh::

Thursday, August 15, 2002

Oi, school is more tiring than before. I do start later than I did last term, but I get out later too. From 11 'til 5. Ick...

My arms are practically dislocated from all the materials that I have to carry to and from school. I was issued some school supplies the second week of my new term. Basically I cary over $500 worth of GD supplies. I am paranoid over that. Too much damn money. Six hours of school (one class is three hours alone). Oh well, I need the exercise. Yep.

::listening to Reef::

Anyone remember Reef?? "Put your hands on, put your hands on..." I bought their CD over a year ago for 2 bucks. Some songs are a-ok. The others...pffft.

I have found a few new COS pictures. (well, new to me)

Here we see Hermione with...yes, Colin Creevey!


Here you can see the Slytherin Quidditch robes and part of a Nimbus 2001!


Here are another few that were too big:

Tom Riddle
Arthur Weasly!
Petrified Hermione (bad quality, though)

I only gave you a taste. You can see the rest here ---> no...HERE.

I wanna cry with excitement now! Ahh! Heh.

Wednesday, August 14, 2002


Christian Coulson has been signed on to play Tom Riddle, a young incarnation of Lord Voldemort in the next installment of Harry Potter films, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.

I hate to say this, but...
DAMN young Voldemort is HOT! ::blushes::

I found some cool COS pictures. Click here to see them! NO! There ----> ok, here.

TMBG on Conan.

John Mayer on Leno...

TONIGHT.

I am a sinner!

I think I envy people who have that "special someone" in their life.

Bah!

Monday, August 12, 2002

Hmm, I think I am about to go through a new phase. I believe it's the "I-will-talk-to-people-but-only-because-I-have-to" or the "Stay-away-from-people-as-much-as-possible" phase. What shall I call it, formally?

The "Caput Avoidance" phase.

I like that. Anyway, yeah. I need to stay away from people as much as possible. They have nothing to offer me and vice versa. I will admit that it's lonely, but I feel that I am only spoken to because the person to whom I am speaking to is bored. Why people assume that I will be there to do whatever they need me to do without asking? Others assume they can change me or know what is best for me. Balderdash.

I can't help but be nice to people, but when I feel like shit...can I put people off without them getting mad at me? I have never done that before and I dislike making a person hold a grudge against me. It sucks. I suppose one of the reasons why I have avoided most people was because of how much one has to put in "relationships." I can't take that resposibility. I am better off on my own.

I suppose.

[i'm firenze!]

...and which lesser Harry Potter character are you?



You're so different from most humans that you're an entirely different species. Still, your beliefs are unusual even for beings of your sort - although concerned with the future and the stars, you're willing to defy standard practices for the common good.

After I retreved the bedpan from under my sister...I wondered, "This must be as hard on her as it is on me."

I can't imagine myself like that, really. She is lucky to be alive, even. She fell off a two story house while she was in Mexico last month. Broke her ankle. After she came back Mother took her to the hospital to give her another check. She "walked" around in crutches for a few weeks until her second check-up. My sister told the doctor that her other leg (the one that did't have a cast) hurt as well. So, they did some x-rays and sure enough...the other leg was broken. It was her knee really. Sorta dislocated somehow.

She went into surgery for three hours yesterday and didn't come back home until a few hours ago. She is to be in a wheelchair for three months. Unble to play and go to the bathroom properly. I hate saying this because it makes me sound selfish, but I know this will affect my schooling. Now I REALLY can't go anywhere during the week since Mother works. Oh well...this is what I wanted anyway.

I just hope she gets better soon.

I was venturing for an article on technology for class when..

HOLY MACARONI AND CHEESE!

I was just introduced to a new band:



IF you like =w= or TMBG (they are "touring partners of TMBG")...CHECK THEM OUT!

Listen to their stuff here ---> OK GO

Woop!

One of the best memories that I have stored in my mind is playing in the front yard of my home in 1986. I remember spinning around as I held an Airport Happy Meal Grimace Ace. Feeling excitement, I was pretending to fly along with it. Moving up and down. Probably making airplane sounds.



I really miss those worry-free days. I was thinking of buying a Grimace Ace so that I can reminisce on my lost innocence. And just to place it on my desk with the rest of my toy collection.

Appealing!



All Too Flat!

For those of you who DON'T know, I am in that Match.com shit. Not to look for a date, but to see who's in there. I made it months ago and I keep forgeting that I am still in there. I guess I get a kick out of people trying to contact me. I have only gotten about two e-mails, but this one scared me a little at first:

Hey WittyDork......how's it going?... hope you had a chilled out weekend...your picture is very sexy.... Logan here... I am 26, dark blonde hair, green eyes, athletic build, 5'6", I love doing all the usuall stuff... romantic walks...hiking/camping.....giving each other back rubs in front of my fireplace.... I have a very positive outlook on things...also I should mention that I think Big is Beautiful...I am looking to meet a cool girl who likes taking it easy...but is also fun to hang out with....you sound like a really cool person...my email is exxxxxxxxxx@yahoo.com ....let's email and take it from there.....---Logan

What are you UP to LOGAN?! Eh!? OK, I know it wasn't you, but jeeze...that freaked me out for a sec.

::twilight zone theme song plays:: ::squints her eyes in suspicion::

Anyway, I love the green eyes deal, but come on. I am just not that kind of girl. "Big is Beautiful"? It's hard to believe anyone who says that. I just hope HE isn't hoping to get a response. I am too lazy to give one right now. I am not sure yet.

Which Peanuts Character Are You Quiz

Heh...yeah.





what's your inner flower?


[c] s u g a r d

Dammit, I was supposed to be THIS one. I accidently asnwered the wrong question. Oh well, violet is cool.

I know that my blog is full of junk (useless meme), but that's how it's been since November.

Right now...I am waiting for Fall to get there. I can't WAIT for the trees to start turning into their browns, oranges, reds and yellows. It looks awesome...ESPECIALLY driving, er...walking on 5th Street (I don't know how to drive). Anyway, I need an excuse to wear a scarf! I can't been seen walking around in one in this season. I'm tired of people staring.

Fall better come soon!

Also known widely as the Fire Bird, the phoenix is a profound symbol of the circle of life. It has a life cycle of 500 to 600 ears and after that amount of time, it sets itself on fire and dies in the flames. Then after three days, it rises again from the ashes. It is a completely benign creature who lives in dew. It is said that the phoenix has a beautiful melidous song which grows ever more mournful as its life comes to an end. It is a symbol of the sun and immortality. The phoenix is a very worthwhile beast.

What mythical beast best represents you?Take the quiz!



I can't wait to see it in COS!

Thursday, August 01, 2002

One of those things I like to do. Found it in another blog.

I shall answer all the questions using lyrics from one band only...one record only.

That makes it a bit harder. I have more than one favorite album, but since this takes a while to do, I will only use one for now.

TMBG's Flood

Are you male or female?
I want to know,
She's my best friend,
She's a sparrow.


Describe yourself:
Person man, person man.
Hit on the head with a frying pan.
Lives his live in a garbage can,
Person man.
Is he depressed or is he a mess?
Does he feel totally worthless?
Who came up with person man?
Degraded man, person man.


How do they feel about you?
I'm your only friend,
I'm not your only friend,
but I'm a little glowing friend,
But really I'm not actually your friend,
But I am.


How do you feel about yourself?
Now, it's over, I'm dead,
And I haven't done anything that I want,
Or I'm still alive,
And there's nothing I want to do.


Describe your bf/gf:
Particle man, particle man,
Doing the things a particle can.
What's he like?
It's not important,
Particle Man.
Is he a dot or is he a speck?


What would you rather be doing?
So I'm having a wonderful time,
But I'd rather be whistling in the dark,
There is only one thing that I like,
And that is whistling in the dark.


Describe where you live:
And hit my head on the wall of the jail,
Where the two of us live today.


Describe how you live:
But Mr. Horrible says:
"I don't mind,
The thing that bothers me is,
Someone keeps moving my chair."


Describe how you love:
She walked away from a happy man,
I thought I was so cool,
I just stood there whistling,
"There goes my bride as she walked out the door."


Share a few words of wisdom:
There's only one thing that I know how to do well,
And I've often been told,
That you only can do what you know how to do well,
And that's be you,
Be what you're like,
Be like yourself...

There are things that I miss dearly.

Certain People.
Close to meaningful conversations.
Old people's smiles.
Waking up only to speak to that special person.

Losing those only helped me gain other things.

New music.
Peace.
Sentimental feelings.
My love for childhood.
Positive attention.
Making "strangers" smile.
Seeing things in a new/positve perspective.
Dorkiness.
Myself.

A few TMBG quizzes that I took.

Which TMBG song am I??

ANA NG!

angsty but introspective, trendy and neo-pop. You wear lots of black (at least, in spirit) and you think the 1940s and Asian people are cooler than anything you can aspire to. The rest of the world doesn’t share your criteria for determining cool, but you probably think that’s because the rest of the world just doesn’t get it. You’re wrong.

What?? Ok.

Take it here: What TMBG song are YOU?


Take the Which They Might Be Giants member are you? Quiz!


Yep, that's me alright.



Which They Might Be Giants album are you?



Last time I took this quiz I was "Factory Showroom." What HAPPENED?
