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.

That Girl Has Love - Rooney
September 21st, 2007
Mood: Accomplished
Music: Dr. Phil on the TV
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!

Mood: Gloomy
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...
