so extremely effing glad to be back in ohio where nothing can hurt her and her boyfriend and doggie and hedgie can hug and kiss her incessantly.
maine =
the opposite of good, fun, and nice.
that's all i'm allowed to say really.
i wish i could say more.
better post to come.
in the meantime.
here are some things i've written in the past.
considering the state of mind i'm in, i figure these are most appropriate.
please don't worry about me in real life though.
i'm fine.
just down.
i wrote these all by my lonesome.
so don't be a douchebag and try to pass them off like you wrote them.
some douchebag people are like that..
not you guys though.
i trust you guys.
<3
cross my heart
cross my heart
barbed wire and revolvers
words aren't enough
to protect me
hoping turned to certainty
when it comes to dying
i can't take anymore of that
i can't fall again
watch my steps
and watch my back
warranted paranoia
rose colered lenses dyed black
thicker skin
dulling knives
filling voids and vacancies
with cement
or perhaps land mines
imaginary restraining orders
hiding places
and secret escape routes
never and always alone
cross my heart
yellow tape and white chalk lines
bloody and bruised
beaten up and down
stretched too thin
under-priced and over-spent
constructing walls
deconstructing trust
and faith
acquiring defense mechanisms
getting guarded
with more weapons
and the aim?
always getting better
habits of breathing
You dont have to scream anymore-
I can hear what you want by the way you breath-
when and how long and your face when you do it-
I wont stand still and wait to be shown where to go-
Ive got no shame laugh all the way to the door-
on the outside at you-
on the inside at me-
no doubt Ill be back tomorrow-
no doubt it will end the same way
Nausea, Life and Stuff
not too many things
different or good now
the feelings - not what's going on
i've become my opposite
i've become the unknown
no more outrageous dreams of independence
"be[ing] all that i can be" is out of reach
that's what's different
what's going on
matters of life have changed direction
and of need
as much as i hate to admit this
i've been selfish
and that part of me
cannot coexist with what is to come
and so it goes
dies
with the rest of my hopes/dreams/ambitions
my stars
it's a good thing some days
and a reason for suicide others
i'm pretty confident in that i think i know what to do now
love more
work harder
focus on "Lanford"
make something for someone else
give up trying to be pretty
don't be tired
be flexible or you'll lose everything
don't lose him
you need him
hope for the best
prepare for departures
disagreements
sleepless nights
seclusion
and wait
for the bad things to blow over
and pray that they do
keep safe and close the things that you'd never get back if lost
let go of the past for those that can't
including yourself
be what you've become
accepting "Lanford"
there you have it.
have an excellent holiday weekend kiddos.
i love you all to pieces.
ask me how excited i am about the new set.
VERY.
now ask me how excited i am that you guys all seem to really like it.
VERRRRRY.
thank you guys and dolls so much for the love youve been dishing out. sean is AMAZING. so go thank him too.
a lot.
that whole set was like a conversation in pictures.
there were probably a bagillion pics that were so unflattering of me because i couldn't stop talking.
my first grade teacher called me chatty cathy...and it still rings true today..clearly..
that set was the one of the best experiences everrrrr.
and i'm so thankful to have been able to work with sean.
and quinne!
who happens to be in the background of picture # 20.
anyhooters thanks again you guys.
if you haven't seen it yet go check it out!
oh. so i started making this movie about a month ago. it's really nothing spectacular. i just got bored one night.
i like alexisonfire.
i like driving around in the rain.
i like showering.
i dislike boredom.
and this is what you get when you mix aforementioned 4 things.
also look at this!
i need to get these.
5 of diamonds is where it's at.
this is getting looong..so i'll cut it short.
i'll leave you with some pics of mah face and some pics i took.
i can't stop taking pictures of trees man.
it's like an itch that i always have to fuggin scratch..
i mostly wanted that bird in it.
that one reminds me of where the wild things are. from that book. where the wild things are.
heh.
i like myself neon.
and more hell city gear !
love you kids sosososo much for loving meeeee.
what a beautiful thing we have here.
my little velociraptors, be good.
sugar,
neon bully
[[encore]]
p.s. i'll be getting back to all the sweet messages and comments within the next few days. pinky swear.
EDITED to add this sweet little diddy that dino whipped up.
how unbelievably awesome is this!
seriously.
i love you dino
listen. for all of you kids that didn't know this, i'm practically a proFESSIONAL joke,knower.
AND teller.
oh what's that?
you don't believe me?
well take a look at this then suckas.
ha! told ya!
you're probably all feeling really bad now.
and sorry.
sorry that you didn't know how funny i was.
ok but no.
i'm not really that funny.
but i find myself wanting people to think that i am almost on a daily basis.
i think that i am.
and so do my little cousins. the babies. the ones that can't talk yet.
ps. that movie is for sean. for his sad days.
so yeah!
i spent a very amazing, but interesting weekend with some people that i love: AlissaBrunelli and Sunshine and Copper and Meow and also got to see some Dika! and some Adalae.
it was super fun and super crazy for this little girl.
i did something that made me extra retarded.
noooooobody wants to see me extra retarded.
if you want details perhaps you should ask miss alissaface...they witnessed this madness.
we shot in an amazing location for the new HELL CITY MERCH with AlissaBrunelli
anyways. i love you guys.
i'll post again soon.
oh and guess what all you columbusinians! i'm moooooooving there friday!
weeee !
i get to be around my frans!
i shall leave with you with some lovely pics of me, ozzy and my puppy dawg at the park.
baby runs crooked.
but fast.
real fast.
i must have subconsciously known that the horsies in the background were doing something craaazeh. that's why the face. probably. makes sense anyways.
have a good week my little velociraptors!
luuuurve you. bully
and hey! don't you l.a. people go on thinking that i don't miss you. cause i do. a whole lot.
i am secretly making secret plans to come see you.
shhhh.
it's secret.
miss you guys
i wear them when i need to take care of business.
and man. do i ever take care of business.
i spent the weekend in the wisco with some cows. and my family.
it wasn't all the exciting.
but like i said, i did see cows.
which are pretty sweet.
i have fairly recently REdiscovered the joy of having these kids pumped into my ears all the live long day:
&&
it's pretty much all i've been listening to.
well, alexis. i'm always listening to alexis too.
duh.
um. so update on my feelings about L.A. :
i still miss everyone there.
sometimes i wake up crying.
cause i miss it so much.
that's not true.
but i really do miss being there.
i need to return. asap.
there is a boy that i like.
very much.
his name is thomas.
i want to make him my squishy.
these are for thomas.
and these are also for the purpose of proving that i take showers.
if i ever need to prove that..
that's weird...
okkk. i must go back get back to work.
i move to cbus in less than 2 weeks though!
wahhh!
and this thursday. havana. columbus. i'll be there. and so should you.
love you guys.
have a good week.
xoxo
bully
oh and watch this.
it's funny.
favorite alexis video by far.
oh and in case you're wondering.
i did in fact obtain some sweet new harmonica song books.
in other words, be on the lookout for some new videos from this girl.
and hey, who knows, if i keep getting better. meaning, if i learn more than just "oh when the saints go marching in", i might just take my show on the road..
mmhmm
edited to add that i miss AlissaBrunellis face. but i get to see it thursday. so hooray!
phewy. no seriously though. that list of people right there gave me the best tuesday through thursday everrrrrr in L.A.
the captivity party was amaaaaazing. you can see lots of piccies at the sg flikr account and a lot of the ladies have posted other places to find videos and shtuff.
what are some highlights you ask?
mmmm well.
i got to sleep on a muppet couch at seans. and it was pretty amazing.
i also got to hold quinnes hand a whole lot which pretty much makes my life better.
i got to spend time with all those awesome people that i just mentioned. [[ you should all be crazy jealous cause these people are some of the best people you'll ever meet in your life]]
i got to shooooooot !
i got to be around pretty ladies all the live long day.
i got to be in l.a. duhhhh
i got to see samias puppy dog do the cutest tricks ever.
there's plenty more but let's be honest, this blog is already entirely too text heavy...
but that won't stop me from continuing.. heh
lowlights.
the airline losing my bag for the entire trip. meaning that i had nothing. and unfortunately for sean my pantsless-ness nearly got him a ticket.
oh and for those that didn't know, i got my bag back finally. i picked it up while i was flying out only to check it back in. no worries though. i practically made those skybus people sign in blood that they wouldn't lose it again. i kept telling them that i would find out where they live and such.
actually, i probably should have gone to jail for that.
oh well. my bag made it back with me and that's all that matters.
ALSO.
none of you know this except for AlissaBrunelli because she helped me come up with this genius plan BUT in order for me to go on this little vacation i had to miss some of my classes right.
ok yeah. so if i were to tell them the real reason why i couldn't be there they would have laughed at me and then probably slapped me.
SO. my genius plan was to tell them that my imaginary boyfriend died.
YES I KNOW I"M GOING TO HELL. but jesus christ was it worth it.
long story short, my profs were all so sad for me, writing me letters and emails.
they made me feel like a big douchebag which in turn made me cry which in turn made my dead boyfriend look legit.
i know. i'm an asshole.
but if we could all just keep my dead boyfriend in your thoughts that would be nice. and also completely unnecessary.
i hope you all don't hate me for it. but listen. i wouldn't take it back for anything.
i love you all.
i miss all you gorgeous people that i mentioned.
and needless to say i need to go back to l.a. asap.
xoxo
bully
and a cute girl just sent me this.
it's funny.
and true.
it's funny and true.
sometimes the music is just more important than what i have to say.
mmmhmm
going to columbus tomorrawr.
i get to see alissa.
and hug her.
i'm going to look at an apt.
i'll let you know how it goes.
<3
bully
edited! to say that i'm not all that sad.
just one of those nights when you miss people, places and memories that are long gone.
i'm pretty happy with things right now.
i love my friends.
and i love you guys.
my apartment is clean.
i bought ice cream today. neopolitan.
and you're listening to the intro of A Skylit Drive - The Past The Love The Memory.
have a good night kids.
if i could dish out the gnight kisses, i'd be all over that one.
in a weird place right now.
not physically speaking.
i recently became aware of the fact that more people genuinely care about me than i had ever thought.
and it's become apparent to me that i don't know what to do with that, i'm not used to it.
i'd like to be though.
used to it that is.
i'm gonna work on that.
this is the first night i've had to myself in a while.
i half love it.
half hate it.
i don't even have my puppy dawg here.
now THAT is something i'll never get used to.
and i don't ever want to.
all is well though.
i guess.
almost done with school.
looking at an apt next week, or even this weekend in columbus.
that's something that i'm really looking forward to.
i want to be around people that i care about.
[[hopefully these people know who they are]]
my ex, who i spent...meh roughly 6 years with, left me a message on my myspace the other day.
says he's been thinking a lot about me lately and just wanted to make sure i was happy.
i always believe him for the first 5 seconds.
and then i remember that he lives to f*ck with me.
lives for it.
it's cool though.
i like to think i laid that down a long time ago.
i went out to take pictures today.
i'm obsessed with this one spot on this one road that i hardly drive down.
and i also saw a pretty tree.
mmmmm pretty pretty.
allllllllrighty. i've run out of things to write about.
i think i'm waiting for something really amazing to happen.
and it's just not happening.
so, i've decided that i'll just wait for it to rain instead.
i'm in love with storms.
happy fourth kids.
bully
i listened to this all day.
while i drove around with eye glasses that i really don't need.
a zebra hoodie that it was entirely too warm for.
and a strawberry flavored ring pop strategically placed on my middle finger.
i'm not dead
!!!
and here's a picture overload to prove it.
to make a long story short.
some shit went down.
a lot of things i was looking forward to didn't get to happen.
and i'm generally tired. all. the. time.
i miss my cbus crew.
i'll be out at the next havana night. and also at comfest like i said.
no friggen way anybody is taking those nights away from bullyface.
roll the pictures.
i know i know. this is a shit ton but i needed proof that i'm seriously still living.
now onto some not me piccies.
ok. i'm sure you've had enough.
back to my ridiculous life.
i've carved out a chunk this week to dedicate to sgerzz.
it's like a present. to myself.
weeeee !
and hey.
listen.
my new set got accepted.
rawrrrrrr.
i was so excited when i found out that i let my bewbie dino come out and i kissed him.
seeeeeeee
i hope you all still like me.
and if not here's me in my underwear.
sweeten the deal?
don't mind if i do.
one last thing.
my archaeology field school is one of the things kicking my bully booty right meow.
and if you can guess which backpack is mine from the dig than i will owe you 294205 hugs and kisses.
hihihihi !!!
so i love you guys.
you have all been wonderful to me in the advice giving area.
i'm a VERY happy bully right meow.
and i have a couple things to share with jooo. ONE : i got my new Black macbook and i'm obsessed with it. TWO : i'm so pumped about the love i'm getting my Meets the Conners set [[more love would probably make me happier though..so MORE LOVE! i love love.]] i hope all of you think of me from now on when you watch it. hehe.
and THREE : i'm teaching myself how to play the harmonica. i feel that it will be useful later in life. maybe. maybe not. probably the latter. and here are the results. i'm not that good yet so please don't judge me
enjoy.
oh and ps. shot a new set monday and it's friggen awesome.
you all are going to lovelovelove it. especially if you know me. which i like to think that you do considering that you read my thoughts and look at me nekkid.
weeee !
i love you guys.
xoxo
bully
eff.why.eye.
i love alissabrunelli and miss sunshine more than i love ben and jerry's mint chocolate cookie ice cream.
i trust that you can all make your own assumptions.
mmmm
oh and i'll be at comfest next month for sure
as well as the next havana night FOR SURE
and if anybody wants to come out with me to the Karate High School show at the HIgh five in Cbus June 3rd i'll be there with my date miss pretty adalae [if she can]. yay !
if you haven't checked them out go do so cause they're sweet.
www.myspace.com/karatehighschool
i may or may not have a crush on the drummer aaron. feel free to let them know that. for me. so that maybe he'll come hug me. at the show.
edited to tell you to go give a warm welcome to havana !!!
