"i wake up to find it's another four asprin morning"

come on. this is more of a Circus than it is a hospital. the first thing on my to do list for the break is to try and forget, then figure out what's going wrong with me. i'm getting injured by doing nothing. maybe some resigning is in order. But of what?

"i take the stairs to car and there's fog on the windows."

maybe i'll do that now:
1. forget everything.
2. memorize lines.
3. learn some songs... rescued, 'round here, crash into me, come what may, spiders, comfortable, split screen sadness.
4. write some.
5. come home.
6. work with cammy.
7.
8. drink more from glass bottles.
9. blast through some books and their corresponding reports.

starting to realize that my life is so brutally awkward, and i bet someone somewhere is entertained.
at least my ratings would go up.

"i grip the wheel and all at once i realize:"

when something as simple as an EP is relevant, then you've got something going for you.

"my life has become a boring pop song, and everybody's singing along."

by the way, it's www.byanthem.tk now. but if you're at tdchristian, it's still blogspot. 'cause my school blocked my .tk splash page.
if that was over your head, don't worry.

Should've done something
But I've done it enough
By the way your hands were shaking
Rather waste my time with you

-and I mean that.

if it's worth saying, it's worth saying it so someone'll swoon.


 New meaning to the Elephant Love Medley. Yes there is.
 I'm just exploring this whole new realm of possibilites... it's sort of mind-numbing, in a way. And I'm not sure I was quite
ready for it all at once. But now it's a bit late for second thoughts, now isn't it? But maybe I should be done second-guessing
myself. Which is really ironic, because you may think that everything I say has meaning. Wrong. I just sit here and type.

So I think this counts as growing up...
No? Dang.

Well, I didn't actually end up buying a camera from Henry's -- but Blacks. Even if there wasn't a price difference, the Blacks staff was nicer.
Either way:
Blacks 1264.99 - Andy 0

But hey, they give you a refund if you can find a better deal in the next 60 days -- and I did! So money back.
Blacks a little less - Andy just enough to get by

But I found some other pictures from before the new cammy, so that's what's on ByAnthem right now, so you'll have to wait a bit longer for the fruits of my... play. But you'll see less of the pictures I like, because hopefully (the way it's working out now) I'll like more.

8 megapixels. Daaaaaaang.

How much fantastic are you?
About this much!
Yeah, you're about that fantastic.

Countdown update: 2-ish days. I've found me a Henry's!
Right on.

Someone once said, "Perhaps the feelings that we experience when we are in love represent a normal state. Being in love shows a person who he should be." That would've been Anton Chekhov
He was pretty smart.

Things going well for you? Well then:

You've got this chance, don't miss it.

Somehow I feel strangely calm in all of this. That's the third time I've felt so unbelievably relaxed that it's numbing. I'm stark-raving calm. It's explosive -- and yet catchy. I could easily get addicted to this.

I figured that one out not so long ago. Guess when I was supposed to figure it out? So long ago. And there's just something about white, shiny things that makes all of that go away. Chairs, chairs, the magical fruit. The more you eat the more you can't sit and stuff. Bummer.

So notice the majestic not-use of yellow in this whole dang thing. You don't need yellow to make it pretty, kids. And besides... I can't read it.

Fine. Let's play UnScramble The Words;

so i love you... badly...
YOUR TIME STARTS... NOW.
