hmm?

'death cab for cutie'

?

sonata form.

like the country.

but not country.

I got 47/50 on my theory test today. That was pretty darn sweet.
And this sounds odd, but I totally could've got a perfect score. The mistakes I made, had I been in a calmer state of mind when checking over my work, would have been easy to correct!
arGH!

Well we won't complain too much.

I'm going to Curves after school tomorrow. Woohoo, gyM!
ANd I'm practicing with Jo and Brett @ Jo's house, for our monumental gig on NOv.7 @ ethical addictions in langley.

I'm opening for freakin' hejira and wpp.

wha--?

Chris and Ali get married the NEXT day!!! WOAH!

TOnight:
mesa luna's (or cover receipient): $6
hejira: $5
raking bombs: $8

me: empty wallet, lotsa love, new cd's, wandering voice*, and a really cool death cab for cutie beater (not technically part of the night's activities)..

*wandering voice: not lost, but not found.*

20.10.03

too late.

school tomorrow!? AHH!!!

I'm writing a review for the Stanley Theatre's production of Othello, which I saw over a week ago, and hence should have reviewed over a week ago. I didn't even take notes during the show, so specifics of scenes i liked/disliked are hard to write down.
argh.

Tonight I ushered for a show @ school, and what I wanted to share from that was a couplet of lyrics from a song.

"an enemy to my soul resides inside me
and so i am afraid to meet myself alone"

a poignant line, no? And a very human way of thinking. I was pondering this as I sat in the audience listening to the song.
It's not God who perceives us as having the enemy inside us...that's a human perception. The enemy of our souls is outside of us...
what struck me was how often we believe that we are worthless, or that there is something inherently wrong with us...
I suppose in a way there is, because we're human, but I guess on a more personal level...

too often I hate who I am, and I'm afraid to meet God, or even to be honest with myself, because I will be face to face with this awful being who is me. But in truth, if Christ lives in me...if God has breathed into me his holy Spirit then I am redeemed, and though I sin, I can stand forgiven before the Father...

What destroys me, what is the enemy to my soul is the evil one, whose lies I may take in, but they still do not come from within me.

Perhaps the enemy to my soul which lives inside me is only my insecurities, over which I can have the victory...

4.6!!!

TODAY...
I wrote a music theory test.
things to remember...
1) check for parallel octaves (they'll getcha every time!!!).
2) When V7 resolves normally to I, I has a tripled root.
3) write about whatever you want on your blog, even if only 2 of your readers understand what's going on.

Praise God from whom all blessings flow.
Praise him, all creatures here below!
Praise him above, you heavenly hosts!
Praise Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

amen.

the in medias res blog

the in medias res blog

Check out the boys' blog, eh?
Scandal and hilarity simultaneously ensue.

I'm writing a review of a concert I saw last Friday, which should have been done on the weekend, and I have another review for Monday of Othello which I saw last Thursday.
Hopefully the sentences in my papers will run on less that these ones do.

When I turn on my heater my computer speakers click.
*leans down to turn off heater...does so/speakers click*

see?

today jo was wet.

jo got wet today.
she needs an umbrella.

her feet were dry.
HOORAY for rocket dog shoes!
Purchase of the millenium!

can't...remember...funny...things...*gah*

so...
i saw lots of funny stuff today.
but now i can't remember it.

one thing:

curly hair, not a frizz. dressed in black.
confused, he pauses to ponder a moment his next move.
planning, thinking, mapping the route.
noticing the soreness in his bones
a long life lived with fullness
may be tarnished with illness.

Looks up to see two familiar faces,
a light in the midst of a dark dreary day.
moving towards them, a smile on his...

*SLAM!*

(he quickly realizes that his soliloquy has taken place in the middle of the pathway leading away from the stairwell...a rude awakening for so gentle a soul).

Thank you Dylan for making my day a little better.

*sad*

I went away for the summer and now all my commenters have left me.

boo hoo.

I got a freakin' A+!!!!!

Oh man.

Still amazed.

15.10.03

Welcome to MSN.ca

this is my blog today

HEY!
I ate an oragne and my hands now smell like orange, but it's a gross smell. Making me sick...

oooh...

bedtime.

I got an A+ on my history midterm.

shoot. I love school.

sometimes...

It is always a bad idea to play solitaire before you do homework, because you can't stop playing solitaire until you win a game, and once you do win one (10 games later), you want to win another, and soon you find an entire hour has passed by, and you haven't done any of your work.

Sometimes I think that I should get an award for being the best falsely productive procrastinator ever.

blue cup

1). If I ever declare myself completely broke it will be because I went to IKEA and couldn't hold onto what shreds of self-control I currently salvage when I am there.

2). If, for the next month, I am faithful in going to Curves, I will buy some new pants, and get rid of some old ones!

3). I have more books than most of my peers. Is that weird? I'm buying a new bookshelf (a BILLY corner shelf, from IKEA) just to accomodate them all.

4). On Victoria St. in Vancouver (near the Value Village) there is a billboard advertisement for an SUV. It says, "SEARCH AND RESCUE YOUR GROCERIES".
I think that nicely sums up how STUPID it is to drive an SUV in the city!

5). I just ordered the new Death Cab for Cutie album & a t-shirt for $26 US. Not bad?

6). If you haven't done so already, check this out! It's more fun that a worm!!

weird

My blog entries are supposed to be preceded by titles, but they're not!
HTML, thou are mine mortal enemy!

I'm wearing a turtleneck sweater. My neck itches.

oh crap! I didn't know you would be doing one...

I wonder if he's broken up with me, and that's why I don't remember?

mystery lovers...

A couple from my church moved away about a year ago, and they were back to visit this morning. I was talking to Terri, the woman of the couple, and she said she'd heard that I have a boyfriend!

I gave Ben a high-five, because that's sweet!

Oh wait...I don't have a boyfriend.

A teacher @ my old high school asked my little sister if I'm getting married soon!?

Sounds like I'm getting some pretty sweet action...if only I'd known!!

serrano peppers

on Friday night I saw Jo! play her bass with the West Coast Symphony Orchestra.
Afterwards, we all (mikael, ash, roger, jo, lindsay, matt, gus and me) went to the Cactus Club.
I got some kind of spicy noodle bowl.
I almost died.

Today, it was flushed from my body, but my esophagus is still burning.

Bland food, forever!

almond icing pounding my head.

happy birthday mom! (yesterday, technically).
I went to maynard's uber (which apparently means over, not super) sale with jo, roger and ash. Sorely disappointing in terms of personal purchases, wonderfully amusing in terms of company.

I shouldn't drive when I'm tired. It makes me dangerous.

grr...

9.10.03

i love new features

i just wanted to post something having engaged the new title feature.

i love red flowers!
and my bed! so i'm going to sleep in it now!

bye!
today i spent 5 hours in the library studying music history.
i only made it through to the early baroque. late baroque, and specifics of baroque instrumental and vocal music are lost to me. as are the lifetime dates of the composers, and most of the details about them.
note to self: start studying 2 weeks, not 2 days before a mid*term. aiiya!

the good part is that as a result of being @ school so late, i got to bus home with my friend ryan (and his yet-unnamed friend).

so really, it was a well-balanced day.
another 18 hour day, but well balanced nonetheless.

8.10.03

my name is m'rock.
my locker mate is t'rex.
my best mate is mikael.
my friend andrew writes me short emails.
my heart's been broken once, by a boy who doesn't really care.
my backpack is orange, and my shoes are red.
my room is blue and covered in photographs (those frozen memories).
sometimes i'm a jerk.
other times, i'm not.
i drive an '84 honda civic, with manual choke.
i like music.
my friend ash works for a radio station.
my friend katrina works for keats.
i used to chase geckos and dance in the rain with her in townsville.

i've been awake for 18 hours.
my name is m'rock.

6.10.03

ah yes, driving is wonderful.
at 8:51am I was still on Boundary, and I supposed I would be @ school by 9am.
at 8:58am I was on the grounds of Capilano College!

Now why, why, why would I ever want to take the bus, when by car I get can to school in only 30 minutes?

environmentalists, attack!

5.10.03

one day i will ask you to dance
at sunrise with grey clouds and blue skies
and clean air just cold enough
to ruddy your cheeks.

palm to palm we'll waltz slowly,
now turning to face
th'awakening sun.
with grace
you'll hold me in this last embrace
before we must walk away.

stay with me in this sweet place
(small little dream space)
we can sleep until midnight
when the night moon shines so bright
the grey clouds in blue skies
cover us again.

a friend of mine made an interesting point @ school on Friday in regards to this muck about homosexual marriages and how it relates to christians. she said something like, "the state has sought to purge itself of the church, so the church should be free to keep itself separate from state decisions, and to voice that desire for separation."

comments?

4.10.03

I have concluded that I am the worst studier ever.

I can't focus, I can't sit down, I can't write or think or organize.

Studying is not one of my spiritual gifts.

3.10.03

my friend ben is really cool.
theory thoery theory heoty eothe eeheyereotheeye eheotyoht theory.

2.10.03

when everything inside me
looks like everything i hate
you are the hope i have for change
you are the only chance i'll take.

and i'm on fire when you're near me
i'm on fire when you speak
i'm on fire burning at these mysteries

life is still worth living, life is more than we are.
