i've got my hands in my pocket and my head in a cloud.

I had a snippet of a song in one of the Girl Talk mash-ups stuck in my head the other day. Trying to identify which song it came from required me to listen to the entire CD over again for those 10 seconds. It was actually quite nice to have an album where I didn't get sick of anything. I think Night Ripper is going to be on my playlist for a while, just because it won't get tedious. I know I mentioned Girl Talk and Boys Like Girls already, but it's just what I've been listening to lately. "Hero Heroine" by Boys Like Girls is just so catchy; except when I try to sing it, I sound absolutely terrible. I don't understand how guys can perfect their falsettos, yet I sound like absolute shit. Oh well, I'm not really complaining. All this pump-you-up music I've been listening to recently has gotten me to really want to dance. I'm not the type to just go dancing out on the street and make a fool of myself; I require other fools to join me, so I'm waiting for a dance party. Or Vice, for that matter.

We got our registration forms for the classes we're taking senior year. It made me feel really old to fill out that yellow form. We finally get to this point where it's our last year making these decisions to impress colleges. Yes, that is exactly why I am taking Journalism and Photo, and then 4 APs to round it all out. What joy. Maybe taking Photo will help me learn how to use my Olympus XA...but I highly doubt it, considering the class is digital photography, and all you do is click the shutter and play around on Photoshop. How high-tech.

The beginning of the month always signifies a slew of magazines in my mailbox. I wasn't expecting anything this month, when out of the blue comes GOOD (with their food theme issue...perfect), Seventeen (to fulfill my inner girly teen), AP (normally highly disappointing, but this month they have Tegan & Sara on the cover. Major props.) and Teen Vogue (pretty much crap, but at least they know how to get their photos done right). Plus I get Newsweek every week. Call me a loser, I'm just more intelligent than you are. It's getting a little annoying, though, because the magazine has been front to back about the election for the past couple weeks (and probably for the past couple months). It's like the election is all America can talk about. Oh, Romney's suspended. McCain's gonna win. If Hillary wins I'll shoot myself. Blah blah blah. There's still a considerable amount of time until Election Day! It's all this hype with the media.

And that's where I'll conclude that (if you want to hear more about media, read my ISP).
