Today I discovered the delightfulness that is 103.7 on the radio. My taste in music has changed into something that likes soft yet still flavorful dollops of music, with the occasional “zinger” thrown in. I like slow, calming music, like stuff from Norah Jones or John Mayer. Peaceful things. But I also enjoy some fast pace stuff like Bad Reputation (by Joan Jett) or Anthem Part 2 (by blink-182). This radio station is exactly my style. They even played some songs I own, haha. I’ve been leaving the French doors wide open during the day and playing the radio just loud enough so only I can hear it for the past few days. It’s rather pleasant. I don’t usually listen to the radio, just because the only stations I know are pop stations. Lol, why am I going on some long random blob about how fantastical the radio is?
Anyway. My sister was home for about… two hours today. Maybe three, but that’s pushing it. I tried talking to her but that was a waste of my time. Her friend (the one I talk about ALL the time and is gay) came over just after noon. Thankfully I was already outside because they were being loud and obnoxious as hell. They wouldn’t stop swearing so I had to close the doors because S was out. It’s like, geees, show some class. I just spelled that with an e; “clase”. Clearly I need to be back in school. My spelling is terrible on a good day, but that’s horrendous. Anyway, my sister has discovered that burning sage smells like weed, so she burned some today. It was ridiculous. The air became so thick I could hardly breathe, and (since she did it when the doors were shut) I had to open the doors and turn on the fans to get some fresh air in.
She’s basically going to be gone until Saturday but will only be home for a few minutes before going off for another two days. I don’t know; she gave me her schedule in five minute increments (practically) this morning for the week. Whatever. As long as I don’t have to bother with her, I’m fine. On another note, I was REALLY tempted to go over to J’s while she was at work and play her wii, lol. I don’t know how to set it up exactly though, and I didn’t want to bother her by asking her in the middle of work. So I suffered through the day without any videogames. It was hard not to set up some of my game consoles and start playing some of my old games as well. There a game called Banjo& Kazooie that I got when I was really little. Like, before I was 6. I LOVED playing it but could never figure out where to go or what to do. I got sick and played it before the move, and I managed to get to the final level in a manner of hours. I never beat the game though, but I’d really like to.
Anyway, now that I’ve rambled on about nothing for three paragraphs, I think I’ll be done. Oh, and I’m going to open the beehive up tomorrow so look forward to a post about that!

I’m pretty sure you meant “in a matter of hours”. Lol. And that’s sad about your sister. *Shakes head disapprovingly.* If I were you, I’d waggle my finger at her.
Lol. My sister just makes fun of me every time she see’s me. “Were you out talking with your plants today willow?” “How are your bees doing? Did you have a nice conversation with the queen?”
She’s delightful.
I would’ve replied “Yes, actually, I did, and she think’s you’re atrocious.” *Shudders.* The only thing I could imagine when you quoted her was Medusa with green smoke coming out of her mouth. Disgusting.
Hahahahahahaha. I hope she gets stung. If she does I’ll tell her I told the bees to do it. She’ll like that. Lol.
I LOVE Norah Jones and Bad Reputation is like one of theme songs. I’m very particular when it comes to my music, I mostly listen to alternative. But nothing screamo though, and when I say screamo I mean when the whole song is screaming, I don’t mind the occasional yell. But when it’s all screaming it’s just frackin’ annoying.
The kind of alternative I listen is sort of soft, flowing, and inventive. The kind that’s so beautiful it’s like haunting. And use plenty of classical instruments in the background. But it can’t be classical exactly. But absolutely do not like any Pop genre songs, at least not that have come out lately.
Doesn’t your mom miss having you sister around? Even if two don’t get along exactly, there must be a sort of absense when she’s gone?
XD Banjo & Kazooie!? Oh my God. I haven’t heard that name in the longest time. I used to play it all the time, on the Nintendo 64 that my friend had. Unfortunately we never go to finish the game, because her older sister took the whole system, and all the games, with her when she went off to college. That game was SO fun though.
Exactly! That’s where my musical interests have been heading to for a while now. I ran out of money on my itunes account though, lol. I’ve only got a few cents to my name at the moment. I spent my last dollar on Vogue by Madonna, lmao.
My mom does miss my sister, she just doesn’t know what to do about her. My sister doesn’t like being around my mom because my mom tries to get her to talk about her problems.
I got to the last level where you had to have memorized the game to make it through the maze and then get your sister at the end of it. I’d never been there before. And I LOVED the level with the four seasons in it. That was my favorite. I might have to dig out my Nintendo and beat the game now. lol.
Comrades in music! *high five* I wish I had some money on my iTunes too, the problem is I’m constantly finding new music that I like through the web so I never have all the music I’d like to. Haha, I’ve only got about 73 left. I believe that I spent my last dollar buying some Deas Vail and Neko Case music.
Poor thing. :c I really do hope it all works out in the end with your family, it’ll be a happy day when all complications are solved. So, your sister just refuses to talk about it? Ignoring the problem only makes it harder to solve, it’s easier to talk to friends about these kind of things, but maybe your sister needs to figure some things out by herself and it’s always easier to realize truths in your own time. I know your mom would never do anything but try to help her, your sis needs to see that she cares and that your mom would at least try to help her through whatever she encounters.
And if that doesn’t work you could always try to beat some sense into her. Or STING (lol bees) some sense into her.
I wish I had the game around still, you’re lucky you could at least play it. Wish I could I play. :C
Hahaha. I know, I feel like every time I look through the itunes store I have to buy at least a dozen things.
Well, she’s been trying to figure things out on her own for a while now. She just won’t do anything about them. Which is the same as me. I know most of what’s wrong with me; I just refuse to fix it. I think I’ve developed some panic thing over the summer though.
My mom is forcing me to drive tomorrow, but I really want to get the Nintendo out and play, haha.
Haha, I know the feeling. Theres just so much music that it feels like I need to listen all of it. Maybe youur sister needs some reinforcement, as in try to encourage and, if not at all, make her do something about. You may have the occasional delusions Willow, but I’m sure if you really wanted fix whats wrong, if anything, with you you could. But your so called “defects” just make you a much more interesting person.
Maybe she’s one of those people that only get things put in perspective once they turn thirty. But if she wants to go out and party all the time, it’s her choice and I really do hope she has fun.
Hahahaha, yay! I get to be an interesting insane person! I know what’s wrong with me, and I know what I need to do to fix all of it, I just don’t want to. I’ve managed to develop a bit of paranoia this summer I think. I’m terrified of driving, as well as being stung by a hornet or bee or wasp. I don’t like walking up or down stairs because I trip more and more often. The list goes on.
There’s not much I can do for my sister. I don’t think she knows herself as well as I think I know myself. She’s just trying to hide from herself by getting high. She’s started smoking cigarettes now as well.
Willow, I’ve heard of Blink-182. But, I’m not sure if it’s quiet like how you described. Yeah, I have to agree with John Mayor because right now his current song is “heartbreak, warfare”. It’s a peaceful tone. But, I’m more into rock. Metal or hard rock. The station I usually enjoy listening to is Project 96.1, It’s awesome. You really gotta try it out. Oh and then my family listens to Star 94 or some other station. Oh and the radio isn’t too bad. I kind of adore it. Well, I already have my brother and sister yelling like hell and so are my neighbors. But, I kind of wish I had a reason to go outside. Oh and your sister has a friend that’s gay. If it’s a girl then we’re talking about lesbian if boy yeah… gay.
My spelling, reading and some math are sill with me during the Summer break. But, I only have minor mistakes. Like forgetting which day of the week it is. Adding and subtracting and all that. But, anyways, I’m kind of stressed out because I’m school sick. I miss it so much.
We don’t have the same radio stations because we live in different states.
I was outside reading but it felt like every five minutes I was forced back into the house because of the phone. And then my mom wanted me to email her some pictures of Buttercup and the hive. Once I’m on a computer, it takes a while for me to get off. I’ll probably be on for a couple hours.
You don’t need to live in the same place to listen to the same radio. Or do you? Hmm… anyways, the only book I CAN read right now. Called Inkheart. Oh and you know when we had that Alica and Wonderland talk about Literature. Well, you know how I said I was planning to read Percy Jackson? Well, I’m moving on to the 4th book. Soon finished with the series. Once I get my order I’ll be enjoying the reading experience outside without any pests (bees, wasps, bumblebees and mosquitoes). Oh, Willow, do you out of the blue have a Facebook account? Just asking. Because you go on the computer a lot. Besides going on Fable and Star craft. Oh and I’m a big fan of Fable. Trust me, last account I had I married a 22 year old women, got a special axe with a metal sword and lived peacefully in a house. Afterwards, I had to get rid of the account. Oh, I stay for about 7 hours. SERIOUSLY!!!
I read inkheart YEARS ago. I’ve sort of forgotten all the little details that are important to the story, so I can’t finish the series unless I reread the first two books. I own all three.
I’ve read all the Percy Jackson books. I really liked the series.
Are you afraid that all the bugs in the world will attack you when you’re outside? Lol. I don’t like stinging/biting bugs either but I always sit outside and read, and I don’t have a giant net around my patio.
I don’t have time for facebook lol. You can’t honestly think I would be able to juggle two blogs and a facebook do you?
