So because it's already October 7th over in the UK... HAPPY BIRTHDAY THOM!!! The most amazing musician ever to have walked this earth, you deserve the best day ever. Funny, stylish and talented, your music has given me days and days of listening pleasure and helped me through extremely hard times. In general...you rock! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAN.

wow, marina, really??? :lol:

I can't wait! my mom is going to a concert at Hammerstein Ballroom today so she'll tell me what the venue's like.

oh was that like april 2006? (or was it 2007 i don't even remember?!) I think I was there too.

ohh I'm going on wednesday!!! I'm so excited, Beck rules :D sweet new crew t-shirts! i'm definitely getting the purple one.

Spongebob SquareTrousers :lol: I like wearing skirts in the winter!!! With thick warm, funky tights and some nice boots... :nice:

I like pants but i prefer skirts :D

Aw guys, thank you so much for your support. It really means a lot to be able to able to just rant and rant about anything, whether it's stupid or actually important, and have people (wise and friendly people for that matter!) respond and help you out. It's possible I exaggerated a bit with the school thing. My grades aren't slipping majorly, 3 or 4 percent below what I usually get isn't the hugest deal. With soccer, I really don't care what my parents think because they don't understand that I am just doing it for fun, which is what I'm going to continue to do and get better at the same time. If they don't want to, they don't have to come to my games. And the boy thing is pretty stupid also. Friendships are so much more important because you never know what will happen with this stuff... On the plus side... I'm seeing a Beck concert on Wednesday, The Killers and Coldplay later in the month, and Vampire Weekend in December :D

yay!! my seats are in floor section 1. :( I woke up half an hour after the tickets went on sale and the best tickets had been long since sold out!!

omg you have fantastic seats!!!

Hehehe I was driving from Washington DC back to New York and we passed the IZOD Center... such a rush of adrenaline!!

I'M SEEING THEM ON OCTOBER 24TH!! :dance: :dance: :dance:

aw, just realized this is an ancient thread :lol:

I don't have enough time to come here enough to be addicted =[

One thing you will constantly hear teenagers saying: My life is a mess. I'm so stressed out. I find it helps to let it out, whether people care or not. I like to write it down, on the computer or on paper. First of all, school has been killing me lately. I go to a pretty challenging private school and also take two advanced classes, spanish and math. Besides that I take French after school once a week, play soccer for an hour and a half every day, and play violin. Teachers are so much harder on me this year and though most of my grades are just like they've been my whole life, I feel like I'm letting little things slip and losing easy points on tests and essays. I really want to do well in my Spanish class cause I'm a year ahead and have older kids in my class-- if I get A's I might be able to take an AP course next year. I never have a speck of free time, today was a shocking day because I actually have an hour to do whatever I please right now. My entire day is filled with school, school, soccer, school. Then, soccer itself. We had our first game today and my parents came. I scored a goal (credit goes to my friend though, i just kicked in her shot as it was a little off target). In general I did pretty well I thought, but I know I'm not the best player on my team- I started playing just last year and there are girls who have been playing since they were walking. So my mom and dad spend the entire night talking about what happened, who made what plays, who was good, etc, but not once did they say a SINGLE word about how I did. So after dinner I ask my mom, 'you know, you guys never said anything about me...' and she starts giving me all this crap about how 'Well you know honey... I don't think soccer is your sport because you're more of an individual sport person... you're too analytical, constantly seeing where everyone is, where you should be, where you should pass...but never going for the ball.' I know all of that is true and that I should be more aggressive and that I really shouldn't be complaining right now cause it was just constructive criticism but it made me angry and really really sad just hearing it come out of someone's mouth. Couldn't they have just said "Good effort!! you rocked out there!!" cause I really did try a lot!! It's not like this is going to be my profession!!! And then the boy I like asked out another girl labout two weeks ago! I think he might have done it cause he had liked me for a really long time but lost all hope because he didn't think I liked him at all (we were in a relationship for some time last year which ended absolutely horribly). But now I think he knows I like him and he's sending me these really mixed messages... I have no idea what's going on. Things aren't so bad seperately but when you add them all together they are just pushing down on me like mad. It feels better to let it out now, and my other new stress reliever is running. I found a really nice trail near my house and when I run, everything around me melts away and I all I think about is the road and pushing harder. Especially with music... I just get lost :D Ugh! Well that felt better.

I sent one from mine and both of my parents' emails :D

whats up with this SNL thing too?

OMG. I REALLY want to win this. Ahhh it would be amazing!!!!!

Yes, violin. Do you like cupcakes??
