I know that I am a nerd. I have known it for a while now but I don't care. One example of my nerdy-ness: Whenever the time is 7:47 pm (in the morning if I am up that early I am too tired to care) I laugh! Cause its like an airplane! hahahaha
Anyway I am really trying to focus on letting Peace into my body, Love into my hear and Harmony into my mind.
So
Peace Love Harmony

Books
I love to read.
This summer I have been really good and reading a book a week. Yea! After I finished the Percy Jackson series(gotta love the Greek Gods!) my mom gave me these books that she read when she was my age. They are called the Amber Saga or something like that. I am on the 4th of the original 5. They are really good, strategy, magical, royal, mystery books. Not too girly and not to much of the fighting-bloody war stuff either. If your looking for a good adventure I'd recommend them. The first is Nine Princes in Amber by Roger Zelazny.
Good reading

New Music!!!
Yea! I got exactly what I wanted for my birthday this year: money. Seriously that is all I asked for. I don't care if it is boring or that I don't get to rip open any bags or boxes. I can do that in six(ish) months. I wanted money so I could go and buy exactly what I wanted: music, in the form of cds. I am so excited because they are supposed to be delivered tomorrow. I got: thenewno2's You Are Here, The Cab's Whisper War, Plain White T's 2005 album (can't remember the name...), and Grizzly Bear's Veckhamist (though I am not sure about the spelling).
Anway I am really excited for them! I also downloaded the Cab's new ep The Lady Luck and Death Cab for Cutie's ep Open Door. I downloaded only those because I figured that they were just eps. See I am trying to break my dependence on downloading, even though I always use iTunes, because it is really awesome to have the cd's plus more money goes to support the band, and they need all that they can get. If I don't really know much about a band or if I only want like one song then yeah I'll still download, otherwise I am doing my best to be patient and order them, or buy them from stores. Plus there is so much more to having the music with the cover and booklet-thing. I mean they put work into all that and the presentation of the album. Also if my iPod dies or is charging or I don't want to take it, I always have my cd's with me in the car. Plus if you ever meet the band they can sign the cds. (VersaEmerge did for me. I actually wouldn't have gotten the cd cuz I already had it downloaded, but it was free with the t-shirt).
Another topic all together: My boss remembered my birthday. It is totally a double edged sword because even though it means that we are doing lunch and I get another cake etc. I feel really bad that they are doing all this for me. I am not that special. But it is an excuse for them to do something fun too. Still I don't like to be the center of attention. I never have, believe me. Oh well nothing I can do. Lunch has been ordered and will be en route soon. Oh well I can't wait for the new music to get here! Eek so excited!
Anyway for the first 3ish days of this year of my life it's been pretty good; lots of b-day wishes, music and happiness. I promised myself that even though even years have not been the best (12 was horrid, 14 I started high school -do I need to elaborate- 16 was pretty much friendless in classes, and 18 was a hard year in college with all my new made friends leaving) I will not let it be that way again. I will take a positive outlook and I will keep Love, Harmony, Peace close to my heart and mind.
So until the next time I get to write:
Love Harmony and Peace to you!

"Birthday"
As I commented yesterday on here: Today is my birthday. I am in fact 20 and on to another decade of life. Ever year when I get "happy birthday" sung at me I cringe. I hate that song. It is, in my opinion, one of the worst songs/pieces of music/ditty, whatever you want to call it, ever written. I much prefer the lesser known "Birthday" by the Beatles. Of course no one will sing it for me : ( though it does need to be sung on key or in tune at least to sound good. Unlike happy birthday which always sounds terrible. Here it is:
"You say it's your birthday
Well It's my birthday too
You say it's your birthday
We're gonna have a good a time
I'm glad its your birthday
Happy birthday to you
Yes we're going to a party party
Yes we're going to a party party
Yes we're going to a party party
I would like you to dance
(Birthday!)
take a cha cha cha chance
(Birthday!)
I would like you to dance
(Birthday!)
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaance
I would like you to dance
(Birthday!)
take a cha cha cha chance
(Birthday!)
I would like you to dance
(Birthday!) ooo
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaance
You say it's your birthday
Well It's my birthday too
You say it's your birthday
We're gonna have a good a time
I'm glad its your birthday
Happy birthday to you!"
"You say it's your birthday

My song/growing older
This morning I was listening to Panic at the Disco stuff (wonder why) and well there is this one song they have that every time I hear it I think that it describes me. It is off their album Pretty. Odd. and is the 3rd song: She's a Handsome Woman. Not like I think that I am a "handsome woman" or what not; it is the lyrics that I love. Especially the beginning.
"Innocence. Sunk the glow and drowned in covers sent for all your absent lovers things. Sheepish wolves looking livid and eating buttons wink just don't put your teeth on me."
I am still shook up about the split. I have accepted it better and I trust them that they know what they are doing. It is still hard to accept but there is also nothing I can do. I still have the music that they made in the past and I will have the music that they will make, even if it is under 2 different names. And I will always have my song, though neither written about me or for me. I feel that it fits me anyway.
Tomorrow I will no longer be a teenager. I have lived for 2 decades and it seems crazy that I am that old but then again I know it is not old at all. I just have always loved being a kid. Not like I can't regress sometimes. Sometimes I think that I have already reached ages way beyond my true age in things that I say or ways that I act or think.
Every year up til this one I have counted down the days until my birthday, well since I could count at least. I always loved screaming the number of days left to my family, or making it go on the screen saver. This year I have been so busy with my job and my internship and a few concerts, that the date snuck up on me. Today is my friend Emily's birthday. She and I have known each other for over 1/2 our lives. Lately, since we've been in college though, we've lost touch. I used to call her every year and now I post on her facebook. And that is sad. Maybe I'll try to call her later. I miss her (sometimes).
My last room mate did not take turning 20 very well in my opinion, but she is the kind of person who wants to have a family by the time she is 25ish. I would rather travel a little and take my time finding the man I want to be with the rest of my life and get settled into a job I enjoy before I get tied down with a family. I've begun to learn that life is precious and that you have to take it as it comes and cherish it. People say that you only live once, and I have no idea if you do or not but this life has been pretty good to me so far and I want to make the most of it.
This year I've been trying to find out who I am as a person and who I want to be and what my values are. I think that I have come along way in doing that and I hope it continues. I know that I like being independent and strong. I know that I cherish all life and I have no right to take it away even if the creature is only an ant. I know that I feel sad at tear-jerker movies and even cry at them. I also know that I only want friends who won't stab me in the back or turn on me because I don't like their friends. I know that I want to keep spreading harmony, peace, and most of all love to the world but I sometimes forget. I know that as long as there is music I will be happy. And I know that "All you need is Love."
So happy birthday to me! 20 years tomorrow. wow.
Love peace Harmony

Ouch.
I am still hurting from yesterdays heart breaking. I know that Panic didn't do it to hurt me or any of the fans. I know that it is for the best even if we can't see it, or hear it as the case may be, now, but that we will eventually. I sort of feel that if they were completely breaking up and going 4 separate ways I would be able to handle it better. That I think is just a lie to myself. I also think that I am so upset because I don't think I can handle the "replacements." This happens to be another example of me lying to myself.
I can't handle the fact that Ryan, Spencer, Brendon, and Jon are no longer together. I can see only those 4 as Panic(!) at the Disco (the ! is optional) and no one else and that I can't imagine them in separate bands. To me they are all parts of the same entity. I learned of them together, I listened to them together, I fell in love with the music they wrote together. I .... I want them together.
It is for the best I know, and I trust Brendon and Spencer when they say that everything will be ok. I know it will once I hear the results, it is just hard to accept right now. I also can't help but feel that I jinxed it a little bit in an earlier post. I really don't think so, but I kinda do. I didn't mean to because they were one of my favorite bands.
I was just thinking about it and this Beatle song came to mind. It seems to fit right now. (Isn't it weird how Beatles looks funny without the 's'). Maybe I am being a little over dramatic but you have to understand that music means more to me than anything else in the world. If I could live off of music I would already have died from obeseity, if that makes sense. So when something happens in the music world I react. I feel like the members of the bands are my friends even though we've never met. When I am in the record/music store I feel like I am home, I am completely relaxed and could spend hours there. So because something so astronomical happened I feel as if my family is spliting up.
Here's the Beatles song:
"What goes on in your heart
what goes on in your mind
you are tearing me apart
when you treat me so unkind
what goes on in your mind
the other day i saw you as I walked along the road
but when i saw him with you I saw my future fold
its so easy for a girl like you to lie
tell me why
What goes on in your heart
what goes on in your mind
you are tearing me apart
when you treat me so unkind
what goes on in your mind
I met you in the morning waiting for the tide of time
but now the tide is turning i can see that I was blind
It's so easy for a girl like you to lie
Tell me why
What goes on in your heart
I used to think of no one else but you were just the same
You didn't even think of me as someone with a name
Did you mean to break my heart and watch me die?
tell me why
What goes on in your heart
what goes on in your mind
you are tearing me apart
when you treat me so unkind
what goes on in your mind"
Love Harmony Peace

Speechless
I'm stunned
Panic... split apart
I don't really know how to feel
I like them all and I know that they will keep making good music.
Ow
But I trust what Spencer twittered "...every little thing is gonna be alright
"
Good luck to them. I'll still be listening out there. It's always been about the music for me. The music. The Music.
Love Harmony Peace

Happy Birthday!!
Today is July 7th and that means that it is my favorite Beatles' birthday!!
Happy birthday RINGO!!!
Yeah yeah so I can have a favorite even though I grew up about 30 years after their era. Who cares anyway. They were a great band and their music will always be on the top of my list.
I totally remember that when I was in first grade or something I was obsessed with Ringo and the boys. My friend Emily and I were going to draw some ears on a piece of paper and send them to Ringo. We never did though. The idea came from "With A Little Help From My Friends"
"Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song and I'll try not sing out of key"
Of course We didn't realize that the Beatles was a thing of the past and we had no idea where Ringo was living. We were seven ok!
Usually I would type out "Birthday" by them, but it is too long to do right now. Anyway I'll be hearing it this Saturday. Also don't forget to go get your free slushies at 7-11 Saturday!
Til then
Love Harmony Peace

Baller!
Ok yesterday I went to Warped tour '09! Yeah yeah pretty fun. I hate it when my moms right and I should have worn sunscreen.... Yeah kinda look like 1/2 a lobster on my arms and what not.
Anyway I was excited because I got to go see one of my favorite bands: VersaEmerge!! They were all really cool and nice when I talked to them and all. After their totally kick-ass show I went to get them to sign some stuff for me. They were all really baller and signed my shoes! See I've had these converse for like 7 yrs and I love them and they are falling apart but I don't want to throw them away. And now I can't.
Thank you VE for putting up with my strangeness. I hope I wasn't to freaky fan girl for you!
Love Harmony Peace
