we come from the land of the ice and snow...from the midnight sun where the hot springs blow

so its the end of september and my mother is already asking me what i want for christmas...well i have no freakin clue!?!?!? so i figured that i would ask for music...i will make this a compleatly musical christmas...but i need some help...

i dont know what cds to ask for...this always happens to me...i think of something that i want and i always forget to write it down and then when people ask me what i want i know that its something but i cant remember it...

so what do you recomend that i ask for??? im totally clueless...i know my 'classic cds that everyone should have' section is lacking so what should i add to it??? my musical tastes are listed on the right hand side of my blog but at this point i am open for any suggestions...have a cd that you think rocks??? then TELL ME so maybe i can get it and see how much it does rock...

pretend i know nothing about music and name cds that are a must for any music lover...ok??? i'm counting on you...

MUSIC - Led Zeppelin - Immigrant Song

kiss me please pervert me stick with this

matt has been saying lately that i remind him of the 90s...and i didn't understand why...so i told him to make a list of reasons...and after reviewing that list all evedince points to him being correct...but is that a good thing???

WHY I AM FROM THE 90s

1. my hair...and bangs
2. my face - no reason it just does
3. i draw flowers in my note books
4. i have a peace sign and vw beetle candle in my room
5. i am a revival of the 60s and so were the 90s
6. the tv shows i love - The Nanny, Saved By The Bell, Full House...
7. the canadian tv shows i love - Degrassi, Street Legal
8. my slang - Rad, Uber, Ghetto, Dude
9. my insults - Turd Ferguson
10. my music - Pearl Jam, Oasis, Radiohead, Red Hot Chili Peppers
11. my love of corduroy and plaid
12. i write in bubble letters
13. my checkered vans
14. i wear nothing but flares
15. my cell phone - its ghetto and the size of a brick
16. my love of Zack Morris
17. my bedroom walls are covered in stuff
18. i take home made sandwiches to school
19. my favorite car is the vw beetle
20. i remind him of bootlegger and bootlegger reminds him of the 90s (i use to work there)
21. my make up matches my clothes at times
22. i play super nintendo
23. my jetta
24. my first cd ever was dance mix 95
25. i have a collection of cassette tapes i still listen too with pop music from the radio taped on them
    
26. my glasses remind him of matt good and matt good is so 90s apparently
27. i have corny cds in my collection - celin dion and elton john
28. apparently i am '90's dumb'
29. my bum dance and my robbie williams dance

MUSIC - Red Hot Chili Peppers - Suck My Kiss

im your private dancer, your dancer for money, do what you want me to do...

for 2 bucks you can be approved by smelly...dave already has been so you should be too...purchase and take a picture of yourself wearing it...for less money you can get the smaller button as well...a perfect gift for your teddy bear...do it...its only two bucks for the love of god...

MUSIC - Tina Turner - Private Dancer (dont ask it was stuck in my head)

please don't wake me, no don't shake me...leave me where I am I'm only sleeping

so i spent another late eve with hot boy...i will probably get pics of his hotness when he spends the day on sunday...

im at the stage where all i do is think about him...cant eat, cant sleep...just day dream...but i will spare you from all my mushy feelings...i just have to say that i have never felt this way for someone before...i can still smell his cologne on my shirts...

so all these late sleepness nights are catching up to me...when i got up at 6:30 this morning i wasn't tired...but the second i got to school it hit me...that and laura kept falling asleep in weird places during the breaks which then made me do the same thing...it was a painfully long day...

matts over now and we are doing homework...scratch that...hes alseep and im on the computer...what is it today??? everyone keeps falling asleep...i wouldn't mind joining them...we went to value first and i found him a lacoste sweater for 8 bucks - i am such a good bargin hunter...

matts over because we are fans of a canadian tv show...none other then Degrassi: The Next Generation...we make fun of it more then actually like it...we sing the theme song constantly...the acting in it is so bad...but at least we get to see the characters from the original...matt thinks its the worst show on tv...but i dont mind it...some of the story lines you want to strangle yourself with because they are so rediculous...but you know...

MUSIC - The Vines - Im Only Sleeping

you said the brains I had went to my head

so...smelly went out with her hot boy last night but she has no pictures to show for it...

i didn't really want to throw out my full on blogging obsession at him and all...i did tell him about blogging and stuff but he had no idea what its all about...next time he comes over i am going to expose him to it...should be interesting...

its kinda funny because i have known hot boy for what seems like forever, but have never talked to him and know nothing about him - we are both shy - and so getting to know each other last night was fun...hanging out with him was so natural and i felt so comfortable around him...and hes really hot...he reminds me of famous people...

we got along really well and joked around...we have a lot of stuff in common...we are going drinking in scotland in the fall (b.c we love scotland, and beer, and the fall)...im going to buy a scooter and we are going to road trip it down to cali to watch motorcycle races...

he asked me if i liked his shoes (see he already knows about my thing for shoes) and i told him i did...they were these cool stylish brown diesel-esque shoes...i then told him my thing against people wearing runners and he laughed but i think he mental noted it...

i cant give away everything about my hot boy because then it wouldn't be such a mystery...hopefully we will go out again soon and i'll take some pictures...it'll be fun...

and we both have a passion for oasis...we sang songs in the car...finally someone who likes oasis...im excited

MUSIC - Oasis - Don't Look Back In Anger

words are very unnecessary

MUSIC - Matthew Good - Enjoy the Silence

here is the best part of the song where i admit that i might be wrong

i think that everything bad that happens in your life is balanced by the good stuff...so if you are having a bad day you know eventualy you're going to have to have a good one to even out the score...tuesday (aside from the deathly feelings) turned out to be a pretty snazzy day...but i paid for that yesterday...

tuesday night i was ready to take a shower when the doorbell rang and it was hot boy...he came and showed us his motorcycle...then he took me for a pretty sweet ride...it was amazing...hot boy and i are going out this weekend and im really excited...did i mention hes italian...and hot...

so riding on my high from tuesday night i went in wednesday moring feeling 10 kinds of gross...but i went to school none the less...

we were volunteered to volunteer at some fashion event and i really really really did not want to go, only because i was feeling so bad...but i didn't not want to go in case it was going to be something important and cool...

i had volume production class all day (where you design and sew clothes in volumes) and all i did was design and sew my athletic top and then sat on the computer for 3 hours feeling the most horrible stomach pains...OH which i forgot to mention - because my stomach decided it was going to eat itself yesterday i put on one of those heating menthal muscle relax things...which made me and my clothes and everything around me smell like cough medicine...which isn't really a bad smell...until people tell you you smell like bengay - so after my hellatious day matt and i had to rush and clean up the classroom and then get changed and rush to the fashion event...

laura, matt, and i drove and got there in time to do nothing... ha ...laura and i were in charge of the front door selling tickets...except we had no tickets which people didn't seem to understand (you just pay and walk in)...the one bonus was that we got free food which was really good...

a bunch of us just sat at the front while the fashion show went on...and im sorry to say that it was really lame...lights kept going off and some guy spoke about organic hemp and he would not shut up and it was the most painful thing...the show was so disorganized and people were going on the runway and the announcer didn't even know what they were wearing and stuff...it was such a mess...we were supposed to stay until the end but some people were not leaving and so we kinda cleaned up and then matt, laura, and i just left because we were tired as hell...

it was the biggest waste of my time...and i would not have paid 25 bucks to see that show...aside from the really good food that they had...it was painful and i should have just gone home and spared myself...at least i am going out with hot boy this weekend...

MUSIC - The Organ - Brother

i was never cool...so you can call me a loser

i feel like death so this post is going to be micro mini...

but what i have been waiting ages for is finally here...

will spend the eve curled up on the couch watching videos and listening to good tuneage...the best medicine for feeling gross...

everything matthew good in the palm of my hand...im so excited...have been counting down the days...will do a review when i have viewed it all...am sure you guys are all going out to buy it and will do reviews yourself...am excited to read those as well...we should have a big forum to discuss one eve...that would be cool...

acoustic it up


EDIT - was messing around with cafe press...and i made stamps...and what just happens to be the number on them....37!!!!

MUSIC - Matthew Good Band - Generation X-Wing

no i dont need no brains for this...come on...

i is sick...i would blame mike for making me sick but i dont want him getting mad at me for making you all believe false information...goobie...i should probably stop giving him all these links!!!

so i went downtown today beacuse a coat i designed was at The Bay - all you canadians should know the store - for a speacial display...made me feel pretty snazzy that my coat was in such a high class store...its also for sale for $575...so hopefully i will get a bite!!! here are some pictures of it and of me being a goof...




if it fit me i would totally keep it...but really i would rather make the $575...who wouldn't??? so if you live in vancouver...and have time to spare...go to the bay downtown 3rd floor and check out my coat...i would love for you guys to go down and see it and give me some feedback...it should be down there for another 10 days...

eww my nose is running...i better go catch it...

MUSIC - Limblifter - Get Money

there's somebody in the water

i poped in beautiful midnight today while i was doing homework and load me up came on...while i listened to it i laughed to myself...back in the day when it was a brand new single i was obsessed with it and listened to it all the time...

during that time we were also planning a trip to las vegas so i told myself that while on the plane i would sing 'picture yourself sleeping on a plane, theres something ticking in the overhead and inside your brain' ...could i have been more cool??? then when we went to the MGM Grand my brother and i burst into song 'picture yourself at the MGM Grand, murphy's fighting hokem you're in the stands'...we were clearly nerds...but thankfuly we still are...

even though steven would seize to become the bigger matt good fan later on he always made fun of me for liking this song...beacuse it was about drugs...

while it was playing today, my mom started to sing...and that was sacry...she's trying to trick me to take her to the show on the 4th of november...shes such a dork...
mike and i have been writing a mob story that includes fellow bloggers...correction I have been writing a story and then mike steals it and adds words and pictures and then posts it...they are pretty funny and sometimes dont make sense...

you should all read them...so far we have three parts to it...they aren't very long but they are amusing...see if you may be mentioned in them...

we are middle class gangsta's...THE HIT...
PART 1
PART 2
PART 3

MUSIC - Matthew Good Band - Load Me Up

there is no you...there is only me...

FUCK YOU ICBC

yea...so i went for a driving test today and failed ....why??? becuase apparently i was too much 'in a rush' what does that mean...i drove 10 above the speed limit in order to change lanes...HOW ELSE ARE YOU SUPPOST TO CHANGE LANES IF YOU DONT SPEED UP???

i really really really hate icbc...always have always will...them and their goddamn monopoly...bitches...

see in BC we have a 'graduated' license program...first you go for a written test and if you pass that you get your learners permit (i actually passed that the first time)...the rules have changed since but when i had it the deal was you had to drive for 6 months with it and you HAD to have a driver over 25 driving with you...you also had to put a stupid red L sticker on the back of your car...

next was the N...which is what i have ...stands for New Driver ...anyways the first time i took my test i failed it (clearly) so i had to have my L for like 3 months more or something stupid ...then i went again and i passed ...thankfully ...with my N i had no restrictions other then no booze in my system and desplaying the N at all times ...a pain in the ass, but no big deal...

so today i go to get my full fledged drivers license...i didn't want to go but my father made me...i can drive for another 2 years under my N and with no restrictions i was in NO rush....isn't that ironic???

so i go and i fail...i really hate icbc...i knew when i saw the lady test driver bitch that it wasn't good...because everytime i had seen her before she was failing people...

now i guess i have to pay another $50 to take the goddamn test again...

to much in a rush...gawd...everything else was perfect...said so herself...

MUSIC - Nine Inch Nails - Only

Where has my head gone?

ok all...here it is...Matthew Good...a mini photo essay - i say mini because we were not allowed to take pictures during the recording...only the crew was...so when they post those pictures i will 'steal' them and post them on here!

this was supposed to be a secret location...but clearly with fox van its not so secret...

fox guy coming to sign us in...i think steven and i were the first ones there...half an hour early of course...but we got in first and first pick of seats...but first we had to wait...we were thinking of going and getting beer since the factory was right there...but we didn'tsteven hiding his excitement...front row baby...we were two feet away...borrowed this picture from blogger Acoustic - there were like 20 of us in the studio with matt and the crew...super smallneil morrison - the guy from the fox hosting the show...the recording was for a world album premier of In A Coma...so it was all profession and stuff...really really coolthis is at the half way point...matt had to go for a bathroom break so i snuck in a photo...it was kinda dark and they had candles...the mood was really intimate...so rocked another picture borrowed from blogger Acoustic - matt played 5 songs for us... Strange Days, Tripoli, Generation X Wing, Oh Be Joyful, and new one - You Can't Get Shot in the Back if You Dont Run...when he started playing strange days i was fighting back the tears...i mean something that intimate with one of your favorite artists...it was unbelievable...a group photo...see whos next to me??? thats right...its Matt Good...I got to meet two bloggers...Blogger Unkown and his girl who were super nice...and Acoustic who came up to me and introduced himself...we chatted about concertswhose the hotter one here??? CLEARLY JENNY...i look like a cardboard cutout...nerd alertaww family picture...steve, matt, and me...look at our glasses!!! He was the NICEST guy ever...totally cool! the show that we recorded will be on all over canada so check your local stations...and if you hear him mention 'you might as well wear her checkered vans' he was talking about me!!!
on his blog Mike asked him to 'give smelly a hug' and he didnt know what that meant...so i told him smelly was me and explained it to him...he was super nice...and signed my cd To Smelly...which is priceless!!!this is the new sticker coming out...we were the first ones to get it!

over all it was un unbelievable experience and i would never trade it in for anything...i will be recording the show since it is on my radio station tonight so if anyone wants a copy please email me and i will send you one or something...when i get more pictures from the fox i will post them and prob. tell more stories too...

MUSIC - Oasis - Acquiesce

well her hate is still prettier in person...prettier than words now, prettier than, prettier than me

smelly is shitting yet again...and let me tell you why...its a doozy...

so i was driving home from school yesterday when i was listening to the fox...the local alternative rock station...and they were playing Oh Be Joyful...wicked i thought...then i kept listening...

they started talking about In A Coma and how it was coming out and about matt in general...THEN they announced that they were going to do an uninvited quest show next week - for those who dont know is a super super small concert with an artist and like 20 people in an undisclosed venue...it might be their house...it might be the beach...you never know - and it was going to be with matt good...i was freaking...I HAD TO GET TICKETS...(you can only win them)


so they were having a contest and you had to phone in and name his last full album... um EASY... but i didn't have my phone so i couldn't...but i knew i had to find a way to win...SO when i got home i emailed them saying i was a HUGE fan and that i loved his music and blog and it was my DREAM to see him in a small venue...how could i win???

i figured that they would just email me back and say - listen to the fox and answer questions or something like that - but NO...they emailed me saying that they would TOTALLY see what they cool do!

i was excited but didn't really expect anything...until today...

i got an email that said they were going to send me to the uninvited guest show AND the concert at the commodore on NOV 4th...HOLY SHIT...not just one...BUT BOTH...

i still can't believe it...i have never frickin won anything...and never thought that simply emailing them would get me anywhere...

CFOX...I LOVE YOU!!!


if i get an extra ticket...maybe one of you guys can have it...provided your of age and willing to get your ass here...if i get an extra for the uninvited guest i am going to give it to my brother...the bigger matt good fan, and he is going to shit his pants as well...

three matt good concerts in the span of a month...i am in heaven...

MUSIC - Matthew Good - FLASHDANCE II

new orleans is sinking man and I don't wanna swim

el primo giorno de esquela...ok that was a mixture of spanish and italian...

but yes...it was the first day of school...and boy was it tiring...

i had 5 hours of Textile Design today...whats the point of the class you ask??? good question...i think its where we get to expariment with fabrics and textiles to create our own and stuff...and we have projects that follow that...

our class was so small today ... only 15 of us ...i guess the farther you get in the program the harder it gets and the more people tend to drop out...but apparently we are getting peeps from finland in it soon or something so that should be interesting...

getting up this morning wasn't too bad...i usually have to get up two hours before class starts in order to do whats i got to do and travel there and stuff...plus i carpool with laura everyday so that makes it more fun...

fashion school is kinda a joke...but only because its so much fun so it seems like a joke because you like never have to write papers and stuff...its all creative and fun ness...and i will be using you guys for my projects...becuase you are all so rad and stuff and i want your imput!

we went to value village after school because everything was 50% off...i bought a bunch of mans pants...im going to make skirts out of them...im excited

driving home was a bitch and i almost got into 3 accidents...i swear people can NOT drive out here...especially when the lights aren't working and stupid people dont know what to do so they just drive into you...GAWD...what are they morons...

for a 5 hour class where all i did was dye lace with kool-aid i am sure damn tired...im kinda scard as to how i am going to have time to blog and do all the crap i have to do...its going to be hard...that and i will prob. blog about fashion and school stuff and bore you all to death...


matt good is playing a 19+ show on the 5th of november...so if you wanna come with me tell me...because i have no friends who are 19+ who like him...and i love him...rowr...and IN A COMA comes out in...14 days baby!!!
