I took a train recently.
I just want to say one thing: I LOVE strangers.
When I'm in public, I often zone out and just stare at strangers. I love listening into their conversations & watching their faces. I love talking to them (but I rarely do). I love figuring out their problems. I don't even know why! I just think it's fascinating. People are brilliant and interesting and amazing and beautiful and ugly and... ahh.
They also have the tendency to think you're a creep when you walk around taking pictures of them.
I truly would love to just watch somebody go about his life. I would love to follow somebody's life, hear his/her conversations, learn his/her deepest secrets, learn about his/her fears and wants, learn about who (s)he and who (s)he thinks (s)he is and who people think (s)he is...
...but that would make me a stalker. That is frowned upon in most areas of our society.
I feel like a creeper. Does anybody share this fascination with people... or is it just me?

In other news... I need to think of things to put in this blog. I feel like my day-to-day life is too boring to write about all the time.
Love my CTY friends. My life is pretty great, as of late.
Music is amazing.

I have to give a mini-dedication to Jason- I mean David, too.

36 Rules of Life
1. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.
2. Don’t worry about what people think, they don’t do it very often.
3. Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian anymore than standing in a garage makes you a car.
4. Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.
5. If you must choose between two evils, pick the one you’ve never tried before.
6. My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance.
7. Not one shred of evidence supports the notion that life is serious.
8. A person who is nice to you but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person.
9. For every action, there is an equal and opposite government program.
10. If you look like your passport picture, you probably need the trip.
11. Bills travel through the mail at twice the speed of checks.
12. A conscience is what hurts when all of your other parts feel so good.
13. Eat well, stay fit, die anyway.
1 4. Men are from earth. Women are from earth. Deal with it.
15. No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes.
16. A balanced diet is a muffin in each hand.
17. Middle age is when broadness of the mind and narrowness of the waist change places.
18. Opportunities always look bigger going than coming.
19. Junk is something you’ve kept for years and throw away three weeks before you need it.
20. There is always one more imbecile than you counted on.
21. Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.
22. By the time you can make ends meet, they move the ends.
23. Thou shalt not weigh more than thy refrigerator.
24. Someone who thinks logically provides nice contrast to the real world.
25. It ain’t the jeans that make your butt look fat.
26. If you had to identify in one word the reason why the human race has not achieved it’s full potential, that word would be ‘meetings’.
27. There is a very fine line between ‘hobby’ and ‘mental illness.’
28. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.
29. You should not confuse your career with your life.
30. Nobody cares if you can’t dance well. Just get up and dance.
31. Never lick a steak knife.
32. The most destructive force in the universe is gossip.
33. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time.
34. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she’s pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.
35. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that deep down inside we ALL believe we are good drivers.
36. Your friends love you anyway.

Reeecycle. Re-re-recycle.
I had an episode of Fairly Oddparents in mind when I titled this post.
Shut up.
I'm recycling unused blurry pictures. (Yeah, there are two repeats. I edited them) I got the idea from A Softer World.

Seriously, you guys, stop naming your children Nick.
I have this temporary phone from camp (long story), and because it's handy to have around, I keep it in my bedroom. It rang today, and I picked it up (for want of something better to do): the guy's name was Nick.
(He wants to pass along the message "White pride" and "I love you". Creep.)
We have a short conversation, but I have to stop talking to him because I have to call my friend, Nick.
We have the BEST conversations, really. I mean, just tonight, I'm planning on asking him for advice about this guy from my theater, Nick.
PARENTS: YOU CAN BE MORE CREATIVE WHEN NAMING BABIES. THEY DON'T ALL LOOK LIKE A "NICK".
This has been a public service announcement.

Blogging and theater
See? See? I told y'all that I'd be posting often.
I HAVE A NEW BLOGGING ROLE MODEL. He's like some kind of blogging god. Holy shit. Seriously everybody here needs to get up and go read it. Now.
I feel so incredibly boring. How does one compete with FISH STARK?
Okay. Okay. No. I will get better with time. He's been blogging for a year now. Deep. Breaths.
I'm going to theater again today. Did I ever mention the fun that goes on in during shows?
It all started out innocently enough. This guy, we'll call him Chad (because that's his name), ties my shoelaces together. I thought it was funny until he succeeded. So I had a friend run to the back room of the theater to get something to cut them with- I had a sketch in about a minute. He comes back with a plastic butter knife.
In the next five minutes, if you had asked my shoelaces if they were still together they would have to have replied, "I'm A FRAYED KNOT" (Sorry.)
I got pissed. The next week, he stole my phone. Alright, whatever.
Next week, he stole my phone and my gum. Alright, whatever.
Next week, he stole my phone and put it down his boxers.
This. means. war.
So we get in a flame war. I believe I posted an excerpt in an earlier post.
Not only that, I lined pieces of gum with pepper... When he stole one, it probably burned.
He moons everyone (EW.) I steal his water bottle. He puts my phone in a condom. I fill his water bottle with soap. He dissembles my phone and gives it back in pieces.
I think we might actually have a truce, though. WHAT NOW? Theater will never be as interesting, I have to say.
CHAD, YOU WIN.

Let's not love A) Megan Fox B) Elephants. But let's love teenage boys.
I am sick. Thus, I am bored. Thus, I photoshop.
Life update (for those who care): It's been crazy. Between synchro teams (I didn't make combo, damn it! I may be condemned to 13-15 age group until I'm actually 16... which is a bad thing for me, with the given situation in LAS), school (I'm probably pulling straight B's... I need A's), music (going well, going well... I've been writing), and everything else (planning that party!), I've had plenty to keep up with.
I'm sure you all know about Jason... still don't know where I'm going with that...
Last night I ran a 101 fever. T'was fun.
My phone is broken! I'm so pissed at Tmobile. All of my contacts, gone. And a cracked screen. But, I have a totally kickass case. So I'm good.
The ex that took me so long to get over, the one who I care for very much... we're friends now. Thank god! In fact, the title of this post is quoted from him.
Speaking of friends, a brief shoutout to all of you: I LOVE YOU. Thank you all so very much for being there for me. I truly do need and love you all very much.
Another blogger was born. Sorry, I'm late to the party :P
This week I've been blasting Mayday Parade, Jack Johnson, Owl City, Panic! at the Disco, Angels & Airwaves, Jason's CD, Blink-182, We Fight Dragons,and Jer Coons. A very mellow week.
I'm going to update more. PROMISE.
