Sup ma homie sup ma homie sup ma homie chicka chicka sup sup

Insider with Stacey.
So, I haven't written for awhile. I think last time was Christmas day, or eve. Not sure. Anyway, I am here in Melfort library. W00t. Our car ride here was quite eventful. Scottie spewed chunks which I had to clean up, and I actually gagged. When I'm rich and famous I am so going to hire someone to clean up puke for me, because I never want to do that again. I still feel retches coming on when I think about it. Then we ate lunch in...Wadena and had to lie to Grandma and tell her we didn't eat anything otherwise we never would have heard the end of it.
Sorry, I kind of got distracted for a very long time.
I remember when I was here with Amanda and some kid kept talking to me. Lol. I was getting sort of scared.
My hands feel very very dry.
Anyway, going to Saskatoon on Saturday and might go see the new Narnia movie. Yay!
Okay, I made a quiz and so far everyone thinks I'm going to Amanda's for New Year's and that I am listening to Yearning by the Trews. Danielle seems to think I am going to miss Math 10 a lot. Weird. I'm going to be taking GRADE ELEVEN math with Mr. Farrell! Woot! Hopefully I just get a seat in the back again. Sometimes in math I don't understand anything while we're actually doing it and then when she hands out study sheets and stuff I all of a sudden understand. It's sort of weird.
The girl beside me has sweet shoes. They're converse sneaks.
I feel tired and I want to go home and sleep and eat lots of chocolate.
I watched Serenity and the Brothers Grimm yesterday. Serenity: 3.75 out of 5, Brothers Grimm: 2.5. It was not as good as all the hype.
Right now I am going to review one of my cds. I pick...Alexisonfire: Watch Out. We shall do this song by song, if I remember the songs.
Accidents: My first favorite, and the song that got me into Alexisonfire hardcore. Great guitars, and the balance between Dallas and George is, of course, flawless as always. Good theme too, although it should be called "Collisions" (right sadd people?)
Control: My personal favorite off the cd. Starts very gritty with guitars ripping up the music and George screaming his heart out and then gets quieter and has Dallas's sweet vocals providing a welcome change. I still maintain George is saying "this burden's not a heavy one but I assure you it isn't" and not "this burden's not a heavy one but I assure you it is present" as they claim on the cd.
It Was Fear of Myself that Made Me Odd: This song is not my favorite. I don't know why. The lyrics are great, but the music is not up to par. I get this weird mental image when he says "shaking the wreckage from my hair" of Dallas with these two by fours hanging from his hair.
Side Walk When She Walks: I really really like this one. Dallas shows off his harder vocal side (very very briefly) There is very little George, if any, in this song, and he might have added a welcome change. Another thing that bugs me is when he says "just my size" over and over at the end. Alexisonfire should lose some of their redundancy.
Hey It's Your Funeral Mama: first Alexis video I ever saw and I still love it. The song is great. There's more Wade and George and just when your ears get tired, there's Dallas. The guitars, once again, are awesome.
No Transitory: The first Alexis song I ever fell in love with. Lots of good Dallas vocals in this one. It's like Control in that it starts with George and then the instrumentation gets less and Dallas soothes our ears like balm (wasn't that poetic?) So yeah, this is a great starter Alexisonfire song.
Sharks and Danger: this, I believe, is the one that starts with the crazy guy phoning St. Catharine's psychiatric line. He's talking about being crazy or something. Here's the whole thing:
I'm sure this is all gonna sound really ridiculous and uh... I don't exactly expect anyone to believe all this. Uh... for the last little while I've been kinda keeping correspondance with my sanity, and uhh… I really get the feeling that I’m starting to lose interest in the letter writing process. The pieces of the letters, they just get progressively shorter and shorter until it’s not even a reply. I uhh... the whole thing makes me really nervous. I just wish I could show you what a huge problem this is. I kind of have this... really terrible habbit of asking myself, would I still have all these stupid questions right? Like what if uhh… what if there's a spot on my body that I can touch to keep my heart from beating? or like what if, what if theres this uhh... stray bullet out there that’s gonna come through my window and take me out? like what if uhh... what if theres this huge unstoppable comet that’s just gonna like, destroy the earth and all of us? Like what... what if that’s happening right now? How can I avoid all these questions if I don't have that? Like, who is gonna be here? Why... who is gonna be there... in the hospital? Who is gonna tell me that all this is bullshit... its a dream? Just a dream.This is not a joke. And uhh... i'll never sleep.
Anyway, the music behind that is really sweet, and then Dallas comes in. The song is more Dallas with George providing change when it gets too emoish. The bass is amazing here. The only thing that really bugs me and I don't know why is when George keeps going "razor wire" over and over again at the end.
That Girl Possessed: I didn't like this one. I don't think I've ever listened to the whole thing. It just bothers me. I can't really pin why.
White Devil: Another one I don't like at all and have never listened to all the way through. It just doesn't have that Alexisonfire sound. It sounds too...I dunno, not Alexisonfire-esque.
Get Fighted: First Alexisonfire song I ever heard. Initially put me off over the repeated use of the word shit (you can only say that word so many times and then you get tired) but repeated listening got me loving this song. Perfect balance of George and Dallas, as always. Good drums, good geetars.
Happiness by the Kilowatt: Lindsay likes this song mwa ha ha ha ha. I can't say enough how much I absolutely LOVE Dallas's voice. It's really shown off well here.
Anyway, I better be getting back. I'm not sure when we're leaving. Ciao homies and I love you all!
