Things that drives me crazy

It absolutely drives me insane when people stare, not only when they stare at me, but when people stare at others in general. I also hate when I say something and someone tries to argue with me about it, that's one of the things that bother me the most, pretty much every person does that, they need to shutup. I hate when people comment on what I'm wearing or what I'm doing in a negative way, it's not like I asked that person for their opinion, I especially hate it when someone is watching what I'm doing on the computer, like when they're standing right behind me and just watching, mind your own freaking business. Alot of things get on my nerves, but this blog would go on forever.

Death cab for cutie

Death cab for cutie is another one of my favorite bands, they are an American indie rock band formed in Bellingham, Washington in 1997. The band consists of Benjamin Gibbard (vocals, guitar), Chris Walla (guitar, production), Nicholas Harmer (bass) and Jason McGerr (drums). Gibbard took the band name from the title of the song written by Neil Innes and Vivian Stanshall and performed by their group the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band in The Beatles' 1967 film Magical Mystery Tour.

Gibbard's first album, You Can Play These Songs with Chords, was released as a demo, leading to a record deal with Barsuk Records. It was at this time that Gibbard decided to expand the project into a complete band, and recruited band members to join. The band has released six studio albums, four EPs, and one demo to date. Their most recent album, Narrow Stairs, was released on May 12, 2008 in the United Kingdom and was released on May 13, 2008 in the United States.

Death Cab for Cutie's early work, on You Can Play These Songs with Chords, was heavily bland—Rolling Stone described it as "emotion through its lack of emotion". Pitchfork Media also remarked that the work on the cassette was "ultra-lo-fi". On Something About Airplanes the band's style remained similar, with some new instrumental work introduced; "flute, synth, or cello" were noted by Allmusic's Nitsuh Abebe. On We Have the Facts and We're Voting Yes the band again expanded their use of unorthodox instruments, including organ and glockenspiel. Pitchfork Media called them a "gentle niche" in the current rock climate, contrasted with bands such as Modest Mouse and Built to Spill.

Rolling Stone reviewed Transatlanticism and commented that it contained "melodic, melancholy songs about feeling both smart and confused, hopelessly romantic but wary of love." Gibbard's voice was described as "plaintive boy-next-door" Entertainment Weekly commented on the music on Plans, saying "The lush arrangements are long on hothouse organs and pianos, but short on the squirmy guitars and squirrelly beats that, on Gibbard's best work, offset his sweet voice and borderline-maudlin poetics with a sense of emotional danger." The band's music on Plans was described by the Dallas Morning News as "a literate, whispery style, the kind of stuff that normally sounds better in headphones than in large venues".

New moon

New moon is the second book of the Twilight season. I started reading it a few weeks ago, then had to stop because my sister needed it then got back to reading it when she was done. I'm pretty far ahead now, it's really good, it's just like the first one but longuer, I love how it's just a really long story so it just keeps getting better and better.

For Bella Swan, there is one thing more important than life itself: Edward Cullen. But being in love with a vampire is even more dangerous than Bella could ever have imagined. Edward has already rescued Bella from the clutches of one evil vampire, but now, as their daring relationship threatens all that is near and dear to them, they realize their troubles may be just beginning...
Legions of readers entranced by the New York Times bestseller Twilight are hungry for the continuing story of star-crossed lovers, Bella and Edward. In New Moon, Stephenie Meyer delivers another irresistible combination of romance and suspense with a supernatural twist. Passionate, riveting, and full of surprising twists and turns, this vampire love saga is well on its way to literary immortality.

Paramore

Paramore is my all time favorite band, theyre music is so good, I've never liked a female singer band this much. Here's a bit of the biography about Paramore; All We Know Is Falling, the debut release from Paramore on Fueled By Ramen, marks the arrival of a truly enthralling new rock band. Powered by buoyant melodies and powerful hooks, the Tennessee-based outfit's debut is made indelible by the irresistible force of singer Hayley Williams. The 16-year-old vocalist's earnest emotion and strikingly confident range and phrasing set Paramore apart from the pack, with the joyous noise of songs such as "My Heart" and "Here We Go Again" evincing a passionate positivism that can't help move every listener in its path.
Raised in Meridian, Mississippi, Hayley has been raising her voice for as long as she can remember - singing and writing songs for talent contests and local commercials. At 13, her family moved to Franklin, Tennessee, where she made friends with two brothers - guitarist Josh and drummer Zac Farro. It wasn't long before the two teenaged musicians invited Hayley to sing in their fledgling band.

The band, which also now featured Hayley's next door neighbor Jason Bynum on rhythm guitar, adopted the moniker Paramore and started performing and recording almost immediately. They played at local gatherings and their school talent show, then quickly began performing at rock venues in and around Franklin. The combination of musical energy between brothers, Jason and Hayley's bold charisma earned them instant attention.

With many labels anxious to sign them, the band decided to release their debut album through Fueled By Ramen. Huge fans of many of the label's artists like Fall Out Boy and The Academy Is..., Paramore felt there was no better label to release All We Know Is Falling. "Fueled By Ramen is an amazing label," Hayley says. "Some of our favorite bands are on Fueled by Ramen. We knew that they would know exactly how to carry out the vision for our band and music."

In March 2005, Paramore temporarily relocated to sunny Orlando, Florida for a couple of months. With extensive touring obligations in their immediate future, the band felt they needed to fully hone in on all aspects of their musical life before recording All We Know Is Falling.


While in Florida, Paramore began sessions for their much-anticipated first full-length collection, working with producers James Wisner (Dashboard Confessional, Further Seems Forever, Underoath) and Mike Green (Yellowcard, The Black Maria). The band also enlisted bassist John Hembree to fill in a deserted position and round out the line-up. They recorded new tracks such as "Emergency" and "Pressure" which display a musical enthusiasm and lyrical depth well beyond the band's relatively young ages. In addition to her open-hearted vocal style, Williams has worked hard to expose her life and emotions in her songs.


Paramore has won praise for their live performances, which have included dates alongside Less Than Jake, Anberlin and Copeland, as well as high profile performances on The Fueled By Ramen & Friends Tour, the Taste of Chaos Tour and the Bamboozle Festival. With this summer's Vans Warped Tour on the horizon, more enthralled Paramore fans will most certainly follow.

Paycheck.

I'm getting my paycheck this friday for about three weeks of working. I'm really excited to get it because I know it'll be around 500$ and that night I'm going to Toronto to go shopping for myself and christmas gifts and then I'm going to see my friend in Toronto who I haven't seen in a while. I know it won't last long at all, but I can't help but to blow most of it at the same time. So, all those times I complained when I was working, I was making some moula, so hard work pays off.

My friend Brandon

My friend Brandon is probably one of the coolest cats I know. He's really funny, probably one of the only people I know who are naturally funny because usually I just fake laugh at other people's jokes. He makes weird noises and funny faces and he always says ''STRAIGHTAAA'', I think I find him funniest out of like everyone in the world although I think he's a tad reatarded, kidding. I love that little freckle faced kid, he's my favorite. We went to grade school together so I've known him for a very long time, he's one of my best buds!

Twilight

On saturday after work, my sister decided to take me out to see Twilight because I haven't seen it yet because she knows I really wanted to see it. Usually my sister and I are enemis, but she randomely offered to take me out so I was pretty shocked, hoping she wasn't planning something evil. So, the movie was okay, just okay. I expected it to be amazing just liie the book but I ended up being kindof dissapointed. They left out a lot of parts from the book so it seemed way too fast. In the book it's alot longuer so it's makes more sense and it's more interesting because they fall in love after after a long period of time but in the movie it's like they fell inlove in five seconds. I still think it was a good movie, but it's definitaly not my favorite.

Semi-formal

On december 12th, I'm going to my boyfriend's semi, apparently it's so much better then garnier's semi because alot of people (most of the grades) show up and there's a party after too. I'm pretty stocked on it, it'll be a really good weekend. I'm going to wear a high black skirt with suspenders and a wife beater with heals, exactly what I wore for my grad pictures. I'm too poor to buy something else. I hate going somewhere with alot of people I don't know when the person you're with knows everybody because it's so awkward, just as long as he doesn't leave me alone (wich he won't) haha, I'll be good!

Christmas is coming.

Christmas is coming and I'm not as excited asd I should be. Ofcourse I have to be excited because it's christmas but this year it might not be as good as all the other years. Well first of all, I don't think I 'll have enough money to buy everyone a really good gift because I still need to buy alot of things I need for myself before I an spend on other people. I have to pay my mom back for any money I owe her, I have to pay for my prom ticket, I have to pay for a semi-formal outfit, I have to pay for my school dette, there's just too much so I'm a little scared. I'm also kindof worried of what I'm going to get from my dad, he never asks me what I want for christmas then gets me stuff that you know he randomley picked up at costco haha. but sometimes he gets me really good gifts, I rmemeber when I was around ten, for christmas, I'd go over to his place in Scarborough, his girlfriend and 4 other people who lived there and I got litterally two garbage bags full of stuff. Nothing really big but still, it was sweet. But now that they have a little boy, they don't spend as much on my sister and I because we're alot older and my little brother is spoiled, it doesn't bother me though, I'm not spolied. I have a job and I can save up for something if I really want it so it's fine. I do love buying presents for people though, I sit there for hours trying to figure out the best present to get someone, I love when I get someone a gift that they really like, I try to be creative about it.

The Interview with the Vampire By Anne Rice.

So I started reading this book a few days ago, it's already getting interesting, I love books about vampires they're just so interesting.



This is the story of the Louis, as told in his own words, of his journey through mortal and immortal life. Louis recounts how he became a vampire at the hands of the radiant and sinister Lestat and how he became indoctrinated, unwillingly, into the vampire way of life. His story ebbs and flows through the streets of New Orleans, defining crucial moments such as his discovery of the exquisite lost young child Claudia, wanting not to hurt but to comfort her with the last breaths of humanity he has inside. Yet, he makes Claudia a vampire, trapping her womanly passion, will, and intelligence inside the body of a small child. Louis and Claudia form a seemingly unbreakable alliance and even "settle down" for a while in the opulent French Quarter. Louis remembers Claudia's struggle to understand herself and the hatred they both have for Lestat that sends them halfway across the world to seek others of their kind. Louis and Claudia are desperate to find somewhere they belong, to find others who understand, and someone who knows what and why they are.Louis and Claudia travel Europe, eventually coming to Paris and the ragingly successful Theatre des Vampires--a theatre of vampires pretending to be mortals pretending to be vampires. Here they meet the magnetic and ethereal Armand, who brings them into a whole society of vampires. But Louis and Claudia find that finding others like themselves provides no easy answers and in fact presents dangers they scarcely imagined.Originally begun as a short story, the book took off as Anne wrote it, spinning the tragic and triumphant life experiences of a soul. As well as the struggles of its characters, Interview captures the political and social changes of two continents. The novel also introduces Lestat, Anne's most enduring character, a heady mixture of attraction and revulsion. The book, full of lush description, centers on the themes of immortality, change, loss, sexuality, and power.



There's also a movie for this book, it came out november 11th 1994, the main actors are Bra Pitt as Louis, Christian Slater as Daniel, ton cruise as Lestat and Kirsten dunst as Claudia. It's a very good movie, it's pretty old so I think that makes it better, it really does follow the book and I really like that because most movies made based on the story of a book leave out or add some things. So I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes a good vampire story.

My job is already getting annoying.

Last thursday, I got my schedule for the week from Canadian tire and I wasn'st scheduled to work until wednesday. I thought that was pretty sick because I wouldn't have to work for almost a week because I was new. But sunday afternoon, at around 3:00, I get a call from my work, my manager told me I was scheduled to work that same day from 2:00 to 6:00, but it wasn't written on my schedule so I was really confused and frustratred with them because I'm watching a movie and just relaxing and then I get a call from them saying I need to get to work as soon as possible. So I'm there like freaking out a little bit because my mom isn't home to drive me to work and there are no reliable buses to take me there. So I get ready and hope that my mom gets home fast, then I decide to call them back and just tell them my mom isn't home yet and they told me to run to work. As if I was going to run in the freezing cold for two hours. I asked if I was going to get fired for that and he said no wich is a really good thing, I thought it would make me look like a really bad new employee. So thankfully my mother came back home around ten minutes after and I told her to step on it to get to work, I got there at around 3:15 and just got to work. So, I worked my entire shift, wich should have ended at 6:00, but they made me stay until 7:00 because I had to close. So now, even if my schedule says I finish work at a certain hour, I have to stay an extra hour later. Oh and I have to work a ten hour shift on saturday, so that should really suck.

Canadian tire.

I just recently got a job at canadian tire on taunton beside Garnier. I'm really happy because I've been looking for work for a while now and I won't be broke anymore! So, I went to my orientation last wednesday and then started my trainning last night. I have to admit,the trainning part was really boring we had to watch my manager explain the cash for 4 hour, my legs and my back were hurting so bad, I but you couldn't sit anywhere, but my tr

ainner seemed pretty annoyed too. Tonight, I start my first shift on cash, I've done cash before at the GM center and starbucks but the cash at canadien tire is alot more complicated so I'm sure I'll be struggling a bit tonight, but luckily my trainner will be helping me and the other new cashiers the entire shift so it won't be that bad. Wierd thing is, I don't even know how much I get paid an hour yet, I hope it's a decent amount, I heard it was like 8. 20$ and hour, but that really sucks so I hope that's not it. So I'm really nervous to start on cash right away, it probably won't turn out as bad as I thought because I have some experience, but it'll be tricky at first. I think when I get the hang of it there, it won't be so bad and atleast I won't hate my job. It also seems like a good place where you would like to take off a few days, you can write it down on a schedule and you can get that day off and that's the first job I get that actually does it that way.

Twilight

Twilight, written by Stephenie Meyer began on june 2nd 2003. Stephenie had woken up from a very vivid dream, in her dream, there were two people having an intense conversation in a meadow in the woods. One of these people was just your average girl. The other person was fantastically beautiful, sparkly, and a vampire. They were discussing the difficulties inherent in the facts that A) they were falling in love with each other while B) the vampire was particularly attracted to the scent of her blood, and was having a difficult time restraining himself from killing her immediately. She didn't want to just forget her dream, so she started writting about it including every single detail she could remember. the book was originally published in hardcover in 2oo5. It is the first book of the Twilight series, and introduces seventeen-year-old Isabella "Bella" Swan who moves from Phoenix, Arizona, to Forks, Washington, and finds her life in danger when she falls in love with a vampire, Edward Cullen. The novel is followed by New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn.

Twilight is an absolutely amazing book, it's actually addicting, once you pick it up and start reading it, you don't want to put it down. the reason why I love this book so much is because it's so interesting, there was never a moment in this book where I wasn't wondering about what would happen next or think that a part was boring and you can picture everything that is happening in your head so clearly. I completely fell in love with Bella and Edward as a couple, they are perfect. This book made me laugh, made me cry, made me angry, made me anxious and made me scared. I'm on the second book of the series now, it's called "New Moon" and so far so good! I can't wait to finish reading all of them!The movie for twilight is coming out on November 21st and I am so excited to see it, I doubt the movie will be as good as the book though.

Winning the lottery

If I won the lottery, my life would completely be changed, in some good ways and in some bad ways. First of all, I'd share part of my money with my family to help them out with whatever they need to paid for, get out of the house and buy my own place with a friend, buy myself whatever I need, pay for my education, get my full license, go on a crazy shopping spree and ofcourse, put a large amount of the money in a savings account for the futur. I think if I won the lottery, I would be responsible with my money, ofcourse 35 million dollars is a ridiculous amount of money, but I'd make it last the rest of my life and even after. In some ways, winning the lottery would be an amazing thing because my life would be set and I'd have enough money to live a successful life, but in some ways, winning the lottery could be a bad thing because I'd have more chances of getting robbed, I'd get taken advantage of and people would only want to be my friend for my money. One thing I would have to do is travel. throughout my entire life, I would travel the world. If I won the lottery, I'd definitaly be living the life!

What treatments are available

Mental health professionals need a variety of skills to treat people with eating disorders. A doctor can help diagnose the illness and any associated physical problems resulting from it. In both anorexia nervosa and bulimia, self-help strategies can be very helpful. If this approach does not work, health professionals may suggest a course of psychotherapy. If someone has lost a dangerous amount of weight, the first step will be to help the person start to regain that weight in order to survive. Some people with anorexia may need to be admitted to hospital and the nursing staff has an important role in supporting the patient in the early stages of treatment. Psychological and psychotherapy skills are also necessary at this acute stage, so that the mental health team can begin to understand why the illness developed and how to help the person to overcome it.

What causes eating disorders

Eating disorders may develop partly in response to difficult life experiences such as abuse or social pressures arising in puberty and in growing up. They are also more common in cultures where it is considered desirable to be slim. Genetic factors seem to be important, especially in anorexia. Sometimes people with an eating disorder are depressed, and they may have obsessions.

Facts

People with bulimia nervosa crave food and binge eat, though they are not emaciated. Afterwards they make themselves sick or misuse laxatives to get the food out of their bodies. Sufferers are very afraid of becoming fat.
Who has anorexia or bulimia?

Anorexia nervosa most commonly starts in the mid-teens. About one in a hundred 16 to 18 year olds has the illness. It is much more common in girls. Bulimia nervosa usually starts when people are a little older, but is again more common in girls. Bulimia is more common than anorexia, although people with anorexia in particular do not always ask for treatment.

Occasionally men develop eating disorders, but anorexia nervosa is rare. Male development in puberty is very different from that of females. Related bodily concerns are different and less often lead to the extremes of dieting which commonly precede anorexia nervosa.

What are anorexia and bulimia?

Anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa are the two main eating disorders. People with anorexia have extreme weight loss as a result of very strict dieting. Some people may also make themselves sick, abuse laxatives or do excessive exercise to try and lose weight. In spite of this extreme weight loss, people with anorexia believe they are fat and are terrified of becoming what is in fact a normal weight or shape. About four out of ten people with fully established anorexia make a full recovery, and others improve. Only about three in ten continue to have major long-term illness. Untreated, about 15 per cent of all sufferers will die from the disorder within 20 years of its onset.

Anorexia and Bulimia

If you are what you eat then anorexic girls are nothing. They can be used to eat a bowl of cereal a day. Now can manage half a carrot. They starve themselves once they think they are somebody.

Women with bulimia binge and may then vomit. They feel they cannot control life. They are taken over by the urge to eat. They cannot stop themselves. So they make themselves sick. If they didn’t, they’d get fat and they couldn’t bear that.

Size isn't important?

They say size isn't important. But when does a girl become a woman? Is it when she is seventeen? Or when she has her first kiss? No, it is when she no longer looks like a girl. One way of coping is to develop an eating disorder. The girl who starves herself to a low weight shows desperate determination. She knows exactly what she needs to be. Child-sized. But she can’t be eleven forever. Her body is growing. The world is moving on and expecting her to come with it. It becomes irresistible. Maybe she will eat, but she will vomit until she is happy to be woman-sized.

Dying to be thin

Litterally...

Our children are surrounded by images of physical perfection, so it's little wonder that many of them develop eating disorders. I clearly don't agree with what the younguer generation is surrounded by. People just have to accept the way they are weather they like it or not, being skinny won't make you a become a better person or anything. Obviously not everyone is completely satisfied with the way they look and having models and such being such an influence on them can lead to being pbsessed with their weight or the way they look in the futur.

Model dies from Anorexia

21 year old Brazilian model Ana Carolina Reston died on Tuesday November 14th from Anorexia. At the time of her death she was 1.72m tall and 40 kilos which is 5'7" and 88 pounds. Ana Carolina was a model for Ford, Elite, and L'Equipe. The obession of being so thin can clearly be dangerous and even fatal but nobody chooses to listen. It`s a shame people put their lives in is ''beautiful''.

Who is responsible for under-aged drinking?

Who is responsible for under-aged drinking? Certainely not themselves. Alcohol has been a growing problem for countless years and it is becomming an issue with our younger generation.

Nobody is particularily responsible for under-aged drinking, the alcohol is the one to blame. Peer pressure, the media, depression and many other issues can make a person turn to alcohol.

Teenagers feel the need to drink in order to have fun, but once they are intoxicated, they become more unsafe because of their lack of common sense and their amount of carelessness towards dangerous situations. Aslo, once girls drink to the point where they don't know what they're doing, they become vulnerable and really bad things could happen, even life threatenning, but things like that an't only happen to girls, it can happen to anyone.

What is becomming of teenagers today? will our children do the same or become even worse? there's really no knowing how things will become over the years. By the looks of it, things aren't getting any better.

You tell me...

How many "average" sized models have you seen?
Barely any at all... You see, maybe if we had more plus sized models, teens and people in general wouldn't feel so pressured to be so thin. Having plus sized models would make young girls feel so much better about themselves, they wouldn't worry so much about their image because they feel that they have to look a certain way to be accepted by others. It would truly prove that bigger girls can be models too and that's what young girls would like to see. Men like girls with meat on their bones anyways!

Why I think people become anorexic or bullemic

Most people who are anorexic or bullemic begin when they think they are over-weight. Alot of people aren't even over-weight, they just see themselves as a different person and have self-esteem issues. Sometimes even Family members and peers who put too much pressure on them to have a certain image are the reason behind it. And you can't forget about the skinny models and celebrities you see on tv. I honestly think that if you're really that un-happy with yourself, just exercise, diet, whatever it is, just be careful about it, be healthy. Anorexia and bullemia are both so dangerous for your health and ofcourse, unattractive. You'll die before you're skinny enough anyways...

What I'm saying

Okay so, one of the things that really bother me about models are that they are TOO SKINNY! they starve themselves and make themselves throw-up after they eat something to make themselves become what they think is ''beautiful''. But honestly, who thinks skin and bones is beautiful?...Exactly. Take a look at these pictures and tell me what you think...
