Con te partirò - Andrea Bocelli
I'm thinking of permanently moving from Livejounrnal to here. If I can't find another site similar to Livejounral (apparently GreatestJournal is overloaded and can not be signed up for) then I'll continue my infrequent posts here and move over the entries of importance to here. If I DO find another site, I may update this on occasion, but expect it to remain as it has.

Wooden Ships - Crosby, Stills & Nash
I'm currently going through the five stages of grief.
Aaron Collins, a member of Locksley, has decided to leave the band. It's sort of a shock, but not at the same time. When I found out he was sort of the "out of control" member of the band I expected something to happen. What I expected, I didn't know, but something was bound to happen. And now it has.
Actually, I've sort have gone through all of them in random order. It started with shock/denial, then concern (which isn't a stage), then bargaining, then anger, then acceptance, and now back to anger. I can't really look at him without calling him an asshole. He could have left for perfectly valid reasons, but he's still an asshole because...just because.
The remaining members of the band have decided to continue on without him which I'm grateful for. Will it work? Will they replace Aaron? I don't know. Only time will tell, but I would really love to see them ONE last time before they call it quits (if they call it quits). Let them know that no matter what, I will remain a fan. Forever.

Simply Because - Rooney

Mood: Happy
Music: Moonage Daydream - David Bowie
I started making my Locksley purse today. I'm using a tshirt I bought a few years ago to make it. You see, I'm seeing them on Wednesday (yay!) and they're opening for Hanson. Usually when they open for another group not too many people know them or care to know them except me. After their performance, though, people head straight for their merch stand because they kick so much ass. This time I want everyone to know that when I'm hanging around their merch stand after their set it's because I was in love with them when I walked through the door. Plus, they know me (sort of) so it'd be interesting to see what they think of my purse. :P
Speaking of, I have to get my hair done early in the morning so I'm off to bed.

So...I painted today like I said I would. I actually had fun with it and it's not an abstract. It's a cartoonish John Lennon. I'm ALMOST happy with how it came out too. I'm really happy with his head, but his body...eh. I didn't do the whole body because, hello, I suck at drawing so to get a torso I'm semi-happy with is exciting. Now, there's suppose to be a hand in the picture, but I couldn't draw a hand for the life of me so there's a blank space there. It doesn't really take away from the image, but at the same time I wish I could draw a hand!
I drew the original image almost six years ago (and I couldn't draw a hand then either) so I traced it onto a canvas. Mother really likes it and thinks I should, at least, draw one of George, but I told her I got lucky with this one. I might attempt a George, but I won't get upset if I can't do it. John is everything to me. He's the reason it came out well because I love him so very much. So much.
I'll be changing my avatar and sig at midnight tonight to what they were. I changed my avatar to one I made a few months ago to show my support for peace.* I actually got the idea from the film The US vs John Lennon. It was the same image and basically the same panning action (if I remember correctly). I loved it so much I recreated it for an icon.
I've also been helping Mandyjg20 with her forum. I got her shop up and running (still needs a bit of tweaking) and I'm glad I could help. You should all check out her forum. She needs teachers and staff so if you wished you were on the staff here, here's your chance!
Gotta eat something before I go to work. Remember peace, everyone!

Music: Another Day - Wings
All I did was go to Ben & Jerry's website to confirm the name of an ice cream flavor and somehow ended up on Peace One Day thinking of what I can do for peace. I'm a self-proclaimed "Lennon disciple" and though that mostly entails spreading the message of John's (and the Beatles) music, I should also spread the message that meant so much to him: PEACE!
There's only one problem with the pledge I made. I can't paint! What was I thinking? I know what I was thinking, I was thinking that no one would ever see my crappy painting. Still, the thought of having to paint is intimidating. I'll do an abstract so I can say what it is and it won't have to look like what I say it is. Wish I could change my pledge, though, because I doubt I'll end up painting a person, but something not as complicated.....oh, why did I pick THAT pledge? -smacks forehead-
I do encourage everyone who may read this entry to make their own pledges. I'm not unrealistic and understand that absolute peace will never be achieved, but I see nothing wrong with wanting peace or making an effort to do something positive instead of something negative for one day. You also don't have to do a pledge that's difficult like mine so don't worry about not having time, energy or the financial resources to partake. I read a pledge from someone who was going to smile at everyone they saw that day. It's just that simple.
"You are all geniuses, and you are all beautiful. You don't need anyone to tell you who you are. You are what you are. Get out there and get peace, think peace, live peace, and breathe peace and you'll get it as soon as you like." - John Lennon

I have journal on a Harry Potter site I frequent and I thought I'd move over some of the more interesting entries to this one because I know it's going to be deleted eventually. Just ignore the board related bits. So, first entry...

Mood: Tired
Music: Diamond Girl - Seals & Crofts
I thought I'd give a quick update before Shark comes on. I'm hoping it's an episode I haven't seen yet. I felt exhausted when I woke up, though I slept in. Then I tried to clean my room up, but I didn't get far. At least I made some progress on it. Trust me, for me that's a miracle.
Saturday night I went to the final night of the Last of the Breed tour. It was a triple headliner tour consisting of Ray Price, Merle Haggard, and Willie Nelson. Though at times I had wished I was at a Who gig instead, I did enjoy myself and I'm glad I went. It's not everyday you get to see not one, but THREE musical legends live in concert. Willie closed, of course, and he was amazing. They all were actually, I mean, Ray Price said he was 81. 81 and he still has a great set of pipes on him! I didn't know too much of the material (I like country, but I'm not big into it), but they were all entertaining. Really great musicians.
Speaking of concerts, Locksley will be in Philadelphia on the 26th!! I'm super excited. I always am for a Locksley gig. They will be playing with Hanson of all people. I'll probably leave after their set. I hope I get a chance to talk to, at least, Aaron and Jesse.
Alright, Shark's about to start. Until next time.
EDIT: They're not playing Shark! What the...

I'd Do Anything - World Without Sundays
I'm very confused.
There's this boy in a band I really like. The band, I mean, not the boy, no and the boy, no, no, I don't know. My problem is I can't figure out if I like said boy or not.
I have no chance in hell with said boy. I'm sure he has a girlfriend (or boyfriend - I'm liberated) and if he doesn't, why would he want me? Exactly. He wouldn't so I don't have delusions of grandeur or anything like that. I've been trying to grow up when it comes to that sort of thing, though it doesn't always work.
Here's what I do know. I love the way he makes me feel. When I'm around him I act like a complete ass and I don't feel like one...at the time (later when I reflect on the conversation I want to bury myself). I feel loved, I feel important, and I feel (somewhat) pretty which never happens. He boosts my confidence just by listening to what I have to say whatever it may be (and it's usually stupid) or complimenting me for some odd reason. The last time he gave me his autograph he signed it with a little heart and after that I've been saying how he gave me a small heart, but broke mine. Why? Because I'll never have him...but I'm not sure I want him in the first place!
I try to imagine us being together and, though I can imagine it up to a certain point, it never really gets deep. Just being his friend would be enough for me, honestly, so why do I feel so heartbroken? Am I heartbroken that I'll know I'll never even be his friend...
That might be it, actually. That could be it exactly. I would kill to have this guy in my life as more than just a fan worship relationship and I know that'll never happen. They all like me well enough, but it'll never go further than what it is now and I'm running out of time. They are well on their way to becoming the rock stars they're meant to be so the time I have to build a friendship grows thin. They'll blow up and I'll be forgotten and maybe that's the other reason why my heart aches.
Although there's really nothing I can do about the friendship thing, I at least know why I've been feeling the way I have and it has nothing to do with liking said boy in said band.
