MS's Journal Ya'll

[Jeezy]

Nice pics....the last one is the best...I think

[Mikes_Shadow]

Today was like the best day everrrrrrrr.

It was a total slack off day cause all the other year 9s were on camp. most of the time I was either beating the crap out of james (good for anger managment) or talking to smith.

&& I had a two hour jam with Smith, Nathaniel & Mr E. Sooo fun. Me & smith were doing heart shaped box at first but then I stole the guitar, smith went on drums & we played Smells like teen spirit, Blitzkreig bop & Ha Ha you're dead. And theennn Nathaniel came along at kicked smith off drums. Then he crashed one of the symbols so hard it fell on to the floor tom and balanced there for like a minute so weird.

And I wanna steal the guitar I was using. It was soo awesome. and I have a mark on my hand from when I was palm muting T_T stupid dust.

And I'm getting a new amp. Brady suggested that I get a Mesa Boogie or something along those lines.

and then all the other year 9s came in when I was singing smells like teen spirit and they were like zomgggg

o.O

yeahh.

[Mikes_Shadow]

Alright I have quite a tale to tell you all (well the people who actually bother to read my journal xD).

I dont think my friends will mind me telling you so..

Today, me, Smith, Brady, Novak && O'brien had this big jam thing. Then we got bored and went down to saint francis (school). Me, Brady & O'brien were running around on the bottom, and Smith & Novak went on the roof.

Then some fucking construction worker called the cops on us! Luckyly they found a frisbee on the roof. They threw it down. Then me, brady & o'brien ran.

We were sitting out the front when Smith & novak were coming down from the roof. Then the cops came. We went over to them, one of the cops smiling evily.

"You are aware that this is trespassing. We've had several brake ins to this school this month, from the roof. We usually tolerate people on the oval and stuff but the roof we could honestly arrest you."

Then Novak said "We were getting our frisbee"

And they totally fucking believed us! xD SUCKERS!

 

All hail the frisbee

 

^^

[stupidsoul1]

FUCK YEAH!! haha

*humps your leg* then runs off.

[Black_Angel]

Haha, stupid gullible cops.

[Mikes_Shadow]

lololol. yes cops really are stupid.

-runs after Fiona and humps her leg- Dx

 

anywho... life update.

everything is wondeful right now. I spent the entire day with O'brien. Officially going out again. woot. We went to Jamison this morning, then were stalked by Novak & Smith for a while, then we went to the mall, theeenn walked around in the rain for like four hours.

looolll I slid down a wet slide, at the park. I need new pants DX

 

ooh oohhhh I drew a picture of O'brien a few days ago:

^^;

[stupidsoul1]

kawaii to the extreme, gemma you are so cute.

 

Have fun , good luck.

[Mikes_Shadow]

Thank you, dear.

 

Worst day of my life yesterday. I cried for the first time in like 5 months.

And it takes a lot to make me cry.

Let me take you back to a time when everything was wonderful.

In June I had a proper conversation with smith for the first time in about a year. I found out he is practically a male version of me.

We talked more and more over the past few months.

Then, yesterday, when smith found out I'm going out with O'brien again it killed him. Smith explained to me that he'd liked me for ages. He asked O'brien what to do, seem as though he's never had a girlfriend before. That's about the time O'brien started to become interested in me.

He's been nothing but nice to me for most of my life, and it just kills me that I didn't realise how he felt.

ugh. Howcome when my life seems to become absolutley perfect it just falls appart in one hour?

 

 

On a lighter note.. I straightened O'briens hair. lollzzz he looks even more like a tool than ever before

[Mikes_Shadow]

damn I haven't posted in here for ages ;

 

LIFE UPDATE ^_^

me and kandy went to the mall the other day and we had signs that said "FREE HUG!!"

and we got lots of hugs it was fuunnn

but then we got kicked out cause we were apparently harrassing people T_T

 

but yeah.. we saw O'brien when we were outside woolworths. and we sat in the middle of one of the aisles (sp?) ehehe. it pissed people off.

 

oh yes. and smiths mum officially hates me. ahaha I was such a bitch to her today.

 

and I officially need a life. I've been to the mall at least 8 times in the past week.

mallrat much?

lolol.

 

AND I'm getting a job at cash em ins. I SHALL WORK WITH OWEN. heissofuckingsexy<3

and I'm a whore?

 

and I hate mcdonalds.

mk?

 

 

ANDANNDDD. I bleached my hair. george called me blondie

 

yeah that'll do.. ._.

[brokenangel]

Hey you! We haven't spoken in AGES ... I totally forgot that I can still keep track of you via the LPF journalismeninen... So that's what I shall do. You know what I bet? That ANYONE who spends one day with you, will most likely have the weirdest and possibly most fun day of thurr life. "FREE HUGS" sign?! I'm totally gonna steal that on the first day of school after the vaca!! AWESOME!

Man! If you wanna live in the mall, then you should. As long as your having fun and good look on the new job, mmkay?

I went to this ambient rock gig last night. It was absolutley fucking awesome. Exept for the fact no one came exept for me and O'brien.. and some other woman.

Yeah. I got a free cd as I walked in. a starving kids records compilation cd thing. extremly good. The first band that played, ashmore, were rather awesome. and they thanked mee cause I'm special and O'brien told their bass player to take a solo.. and he played the inspector gagdet theme. and one of the roadies was like "PLAY THE MEXICAN NATIONAL ANTHEM!". it was funneh ><

and I bought ashmore's EP. and they signed it ^^

The next band, Dextors Conscience... man I wanted to sex them. their singer was absolutley brilliant. and they had this pink floydy feel to them. damn fucking awesome. and I wanted to get their cd but it was like $25.

I got hugs from lotsa people. AND two hugs from the singer from ashmore. who was god damn sexy. ^__^

[Mikes_Shadow]

Not that anyone cares, I'm not gonna be on for six weeks.

Mum's banned me from the computer instead of grounding me.

 

farewell.

[Rusu_luvs_LP_4ever]

oh noes! not a ban from the computer >_<

[Mikes_Shadow]

yeahh. We've been going out for like 4 months now Oo;

[Rusu_luvs_LP_4ever]

ahhhh cool

 

oh and btw, Hi back (my sister passed on the Hi )

[Mikes_Shadow]

woo. posting in here finally.

I'm going to an evanescence concert tomorrow. 'tis gonna be funfunfunfunfunfun.

 

I've started a band with O'Brien and some dude called Julian. O'Brien seems to have named us Menstrual Soup without consulting Julian ._.'

 

and I seem to have started a little jam groupy thing with Smith :] funn

 

year 10 sucks.

the year 7s from this year are like.. tiny.

 

me and kandy are now known as the condom ladies ; quite scary

:]

 

whee.

It's my birthday in 11 days!

[Mikes_Shadow]

meh. not that anyone even reads my journal anymore, I'll update it anyway.

I can't BELIEVE I didn't mention that jerry and I were in the paper a few weeks ago T_T

we're cool.

http://www.offtopic.forum/data/MetaMirrorCache/6d69a7616caa9ecdb1306f40a1b68743.jpg

anywho..

sydney trip the other day was cool.

Me and Alex went to Utopia and I bought an alice in chains shirt

We went and had dinner at China town. Well... I didn't.

I have a perfectly good reason;

black fungus. that was actually on the menu >_>;;

and everything else in the store was equally disgusting. x_X;

So I went to get something else to eat with alex's mum.

mehh..

anywho;

evanescence concerrrtt

They were playing pantera as background music before and after the concert and I was like 'zomggg :o'

The weird other band they toured with were pretty good. Shihad. I now want to have sex with their lead singer.

it took evanescence like an hour to come on stage after Shihad, so the crowd decided to entertain themselves by doing a Mexican wave for ten minutes straight!

Amy Lee was wearing a rather strange outfit. This weird tutu-like skirt, a black singlet and big fat buckle boots like kandy's.

They kept playing random other band's songs between their own. They Played Highway to Hell-AC/DC, 5 Minutes Alone-Pantera and One-Metallica.

When they went of stage everyone went nuts like at the start of the concert begging for an encore. Amy eventually came out and played My Immortal and forced everyone to sing along >_>; and she did another song.. I just forgot what it was.

yeah..

 

anywho... yesterday was my birthday! yayay.

I went to Woden at about 12. I saw tim for the first time since like.. april last year. I was just sitting there waiting for jerry.. I turned around and I was like 'zomg! TIMMAH! ~tackle~' ehe.

then Jerry came along and we went to JB Hifi to play guitar hero. yet again he didn't get another highest score cause he kept dancing and not paying attention >_>;

thennn we went to better music.

http://www.offtopic.forum/data/MetaMirrorCache/8e56d1dee87c71009df754d34e418d70.jpg

that's the guitar I'm getting when I have the money.

I'm getting a kids one cause I can hardly lift the adult ones.

the guys at BM are gonna give me a $100 discount on it. so I get it for $500 instead.

I just gotta think how I'm gonna get the money. probably like.. save up my allowence for ages.

yeah..

we were walking through a storm water drain so jerry could get back to class.. my shoes now smell like woden. it's sickening. we were singing master of puppets at the top of our voices, some random construction guys smiled at us. yay for metallica.

yeah.. we got back to his school for his music class. surprisingly enough I wasn't kicked out I was randomly playing Nutshell-Alice in chains (or what jerry classes as the emo song), jerry started singing weird lyrics about canberra college over it. >_>;

after school we hung with some dude called angry-man (I don't remember his real name x]). he was pretty cool. though he looked and acted a lot like that guy in year 9 that I know ;

lololol. the funniest thing happened when me and Jerry were in David Jones (the overly-swanky department store).

we were there lying in the socks section of the store, laughing at the stupid names of the sock brands, such as 'pussyfoot' xD, when we stood up abruptly. it looked so incredibly suss to the people at the register. some old guy was like 'wtf '

x]

I had to go home eventually, so we went to the interchange. I was looking around and some slut was just like 'what the fuck are you lookin' at?' thinking I was staring at her. stupid woman.

I was locked in a 10 minute hug with jerry >_> he didn't seem to want to let go of me. then the bus came. x.X;

and the rest of yesterday was really really boring :]

 

and yeah..

[Mikes_Shadow]

And I still haven't gotten that guitar!

 

you should all like.. welcome me back cause I'm heaps cool

 

I want goon.

 

 

end transmission.

[Black_Angel]

Oh em gee.. welcome back.. haven't seen you about for like forever! :]

[Mikes_Shadow]

Fuck... This hasn't been updated properly in so long! There's still posts about O'Brien in the first page! I broke up with that fucker over a year ago!

 

This journal has such a shit title. I didn't even spell 'y'all' right! Should change it to something..

 

 

What's been going on since October 2007?

 

-My epilepsy came back 493948 times worse in late October, since then I've been losing some of my memories/intelligence.

 

-Started going out with Brendan in mid-November.

 

-Started two bands (The Gemini and JArelle)

 

-I spoke to Toby Driver <3

 

-Started a new school on the 4th February. Lake Ginninderra College. Shithole to the max!

I only go to three of my classes nowadays. Music, music and art.

I V-graded (failed) English in the first week! Mainly because I didn't actually go to class. I went to that class once and I wasn't even marked there. Haha. That class is full of people that like.. can't read.

I don't go to French anymore (I just go to a media class that I'm not actually in)... I don't think my teacher actually speaks English at all... She doesn't even come to class most of the time. She just leaves us under the supervision of the scary comb-over guy on that French game show video and goes and teaches Spanish in another class, or just doesn't even set foot on the school. Lame!

I got re-united with one of my friends from pre-school/primary school there! Which is weird cause I would've thought she'd go to Hawker, as she went to the high school right next door ;

 

-Got a new guitar for my birthday:

AXL fireax. Crazy shape! I named him Alexi Tobias.

 

-Turned 16 on the 27th February! I'm finally legal! haHA!

 

-March was particularly uneventful... I went in Lake Idol... Which was fair' shit.

 

-I wrote a song that everyone thinks is a masterpiece

www.myspace.com/themightymartin the one that isn't 'Brendan'

 

 

-I auditioned for Australian Idol...

I've discovered that the whole tv audition thing is completely fake. The real judges are down in Melbourne, so I was stuck with two dickheads that apparently knew every band on the planet (I should've asked them if they knew Sunn O))) or Parabstruse or something... haha).

Anyway...

I saw one of my friends from school in the line, which is strange because we were in Albury. But apparently he moved to Wodonga (place next to Albury) a few weeks before that.

I met a lot of awesome people there :] Some guy my number group referred to as 'T-shirt guy' somehow knew I played piano. Insanity, man!

Anyway... I went in.... I asked them to call me Gremlin instead of Gemma Lynne. They thought it was hilarious.

Anyway.. I sung the song that I wrote a week before... But they stopped me halfway through and told me they didn't want to hear something original because they didn't have a voice they could compare it to...

They asked me to do a song that they know... I'd practiced heaps of songs (Bohemian Rhapsody-Queen, Hey Jude-The Beatles, Zombie-The Cranberries, Fairies Wear Boots-Black Sabbath, Forever Down-Black Label Society...etc...), but somehow I forgot how to sing all of them..

The woman asked me to sing something by Evanescence, so I sung Lithium... I'm not very good at singing Evanescence and I hadn't practiced any of their stuff for the audition...

"You have a lovely voice," the guy said "but you look very nervous and unprepared when you sing that, see you've got your eyes closed and stuff... You're very young... We'll have to say no".

I see several things wrong with his comments.

1. Of course I was unprepared singing that song. I hadn't fucking practiced it. I made that perfectly clear to them.

2. I had my eyes closed so I could concentrate on singing the notes that I hadn't practiced

3. If they didn't want to have 16 year olds on the fucking show they shouldn't let them audition, for fuck's sake. Dickheads.

 

 

Anyway.. More stuff.

Friðbjörn has been teaching me some Icelandic.. It's really quite useful (as I want to live in Iceland eventually). He's an excellent teacher :]

I now know some proper sentence structures & such..

Plus many... many insults

I think it's strange that I've learned more Icelandic in two months than Japanese in 9 years. I don't even know how to say Yes/No in Japanese...

It's probably because my teacher in primary school only taught us the hiragana alphabet every single lesson and didn't tell us any words except 'doso' (not sure how to spell it, actually...) meaning 'sit'.

 

Got back to school on Monday... It's been a particularly un-eventful week... I'm attempting to learn Bridge Over Troubled Water-Simon & Garfunkel on piano. It's pretty hard. Jo (my music teacher) is helping me out. She taught me the first part of Für Elise-Beethoven... She was quite jealous that I picked it up in an hour and it took her a year to learn. haha.

Jo is excellent.

 

I drew a picture on the bus yesterday:

http://www.offtopic.forum/data/MetaMirrorCache/a1573fd954ce3424dd0f1d33277f9290.jpg

She isn't anyone in particular.

I continued drawing it in the food court in Woden (district in Canberra named after Odin, the norse god! So fucking awesome!). I got many compliments from passers by. :]

 

 

I spent about 4-5 hours entertaining Brendan's brothers (other than his 15 year old freshie [chav] brother) last night. All four are under 12. I was teaching them how to make farting noises with your hands, and chasing them around, pretending to be a monster. x]

Calum (the 10 year old one) was playing a sonic game with these chao things... Neal (I think he's 9) and I were telling him to call the one he was making 'Gemma'... But he wanted to call it 'Echo'... but he didn't know how to spell it... Neal said 'I know how to spell it! G-E-M-M-A!'. Hehe. Children are so entertaining... The ones I know, that is.

 

I've been watching Stargate Atlantis for the past few days.. Fuck.. Joe Flanigan is hott.

 

 

Fucking hell things on lpf are difficult to read... white on grey, annoying! I had to get my glasses just so it wouldn't be so annoying -.-;

 

 

Overall I think I'm in love with Sigur Rós!

 

End transmission.

[Friðbjörn]

wow long post haha

yeah it's been sweet teaching someone icelandic

plus btw I think you might like the music scene here

not quite kayo dot, but I think we're doing all right

 

 

that idol thing sounds messed up

but yeah I'd focus on your bands, that's way more rewarding anyway

sweet guitar also

and do you have any myspace links or something? I'd like to hear what you're doin

[Mikes_Shadow]

Took me so long to write!

 

Yeah.. I read in the Icelandic part of my Scandinavian phrase book that Icelandic people love it when foreign people attempt to speak their language :]

 

I do like the music scene there. That's part of the reason I want to live there. Ha.

A free Canberran magazine had a review of ólafur arnalds in the last issue. Fucking excellent music.

 

 

I have three solo projects..

 

Les Martin, the one I'm currently working on:

http://www.bebo.com/fuckwhostolemyurl (heartbeats is a bit out of time..)

http://www.myspace.com/themightymartin

 

Nitistää:

http://www.bebo.com/nitistaa (the falling disease is on here... It used to be on the myspace but I made it quieter because it didn't really go with the other songs.. now I can't be fucked uploading it on the myspace again because it takes too long)

http://www.myspace.com/nitistaa

The songs are in my own weird language, based on Finnish, Icelandic, Faroese and Danish

They're recorded on ipod headphones, because my microphone is a complete dickhead.

I made all of the songs up as I went along, except {Efterår... I made the main riff for that ages ago for an interlude for the Gee-Jay EP thing *points to next project*.

 

Gee-Jay (this one's pretty old [and pretty shit]... Let go is an original):

http://www.bebo.com/gee1jay

http://www.myspace.com/geejay00 (I haven't updated that in about a year)

The video was funny... Alex must've deleted it. Screw him!

 

 

Bands:

The Gemini:

http://www.myspace.com/notkayodot

Marigold is the best song..

Franks sweet drum solo is actually Julian messing around with the drum part of the keyboard. Frank doesn't exist.

Read the band bio! It's brilliant.

 

JArelle isn't really a band.. It's just Alex (another one) and I screwing around with garage band... We're hoping to record more stuff soon... We made this band dedicated to the worship of Julian.

http://www.bebo.com/ebobeboface

It's me growling in SPARTAAAAA (the guitar is acoustic. haaha)

Watch the video, it's excellent.

 

I hope to start a proper band soon.. Like... one that does gigs.

I was supposed to be an a band called Kyraïd Hive, with Julian, Brendan and another guy (D'Arcy) but I left... and then Brendan invited me back.. and now I don't know if I'm a member anymore.. I never did any recordings though

http://www.myspace.com/kyraidhive

 

 

Oh yeah, and I also recorded a song with the first Alex I mentioned:

http://www.bebo.com/alexcampbell1

 

That's about it!
