Yeah. I'm listening to Halifax. The title is a lyric from the song that's on iTunes now. It's called Nightmare from their album The Inevitability of a Strange World. Halifax was awesome live. :3 Ah, the Bamboozle... I currently have my "Mood Songs" playlist on shuffle in iTunes, so the songs and artists and the such will change constantly. The playlist was made for when I just feel like listening to all my favorite, favorite songs. Speaking of which, The Music or The Misery by Fall Out Boy just came out. XD

It's 8:30 AM on the East Coast. This Gaia Journal entry is being brought to you from a New York suburb via the internet. Its author is currently a little tired and slightly bored. Mostly tired though, 'cause typing can entertain just enough to keep me from knocking myself out. That, and Kuya might come online or something. XD No promises, since it's already 8:30 PM over there, but there's always hoping.

I've got like, what, three weeks until school? I'm not sure if I'm supposed to be depressed that summer is going to say its goodbyes soon, or if I should be happy that I'm going to see old friends again and make new ones. Friends and schoolwork, ohboy. @_@ Orientation is at the end of this month. Yep, I'm gonna be a freshie. I'm not scared of "Freshman Friday" or any stupid things like that in high school. Why? I'm a girl, I don't have "beef" with anyone, and I've got connections with Juniors AKA my sister and her best friend. And then their friends. And my friends' siblings and their friends. Yeah, I'm gonna be fine. XD It's just that I'm not entirely sure how to work the lockers versus running around the school. It's not that big of a school [it's a Catholic school, soyaknow], but I still feel like I'm gonna get lost.

But there's still some August left. Edward, my little brother, turned nine yesterday. n_n<3 We hung out with Joy and Keith and just kinda ate food and hung around. 8D Of course. I want to go watch Snakes! on a Plane. XD Snakes on a Plane, actually. I just love dropping Panic! at the Disco things. Like the rest of Gaia, apparently. XD There's that thing on August 26. I'm gonna be seeing A LOT of old friends and family. Ohboy, the attention... We just got back from the Philippines [and everyone at that outing is going to be Filipino], and my hair is all new and whatever. I hope none of them remember that I was Val, otherwise there's going to be more hugs and junk than usual. And that's saying something. I'll need my cellphone, iPod, and uh... I don't know what else.

Suspension by Mae just came on iTunes. I love this song. n_n<3 It's my current favorite Mae song, The Ocean coming in a close second. Maybe The Everglow in third, I don't know, I can't think well right now. XD I didn't see these guys at the Bamboozle, but I heard them. XD I believe it was Suspension. I was singing along while the other people around me were waiting for the next band. XDWhat you do to me feels like I'm floating on air...

The best thing about mosh pits is you make awkward friendships with the people around you. Like, I'm getting bear hugs from the guy directly behind me because he's holding on to the rail [and generally trying to breathe] while I'm in front of him AT the rail [and also trying to breathe]. There were some other guys behind us who seemed like my age. We were all sticking it out for Fall Out Boy. [Though, I was there for Matchmaker, The Hush Sound, Halifax, The Spill Canvas, Silverstein, Armor for Sleep, From First to Last, Hawthorne Heights, The All-American Rejects, AND Fall Out Boy. <3] They blamed Halifax for the suddenly crowded mosh pit. XD Those guys were pretty cool. I forgot their names, but it was fun talking to them. We trusted each other enough to pass around the pick from the band AND give it back to the guy who got it from Security. Ohyeah, we made friends with Security too. n_n Some of them were nice guys, but there was that one guy who wouldn't let us keep the beach ball. :[

Ah, memories. Don't think that I'm going to forget the Philippines, now. XD
Everytime we hang out with Joy, we end up sharing stories from the Philippines. And there are so many... I won't add them into this Journal entry, simply because I can't possibly type all of those fun, fun times... <3

I miss the family back in the Philippines. But we have semi-regular communication with Kuya, so I'm alright (that's about to go kaput come the start of school, him being in college, us with the weekdays, timezones, and all). I'm going to make sure we stay in touch though. And I'm working on those plane tickets. About 21% of the way there, with the goal being $1,500. XD Not bad for an unemployed lazyass like me, huh? XD BUT, even if I do make the $1,500 [That would be a miracle. XD], there's not promises the parentals are going to let me. I would totally take like, two weeks off from school the second to last month of the school year and do all the missed work on the plane ride. With the plane ride nothing shy of over 15 hours, I'd get the work done. Over 15 hours TWICE, since unlike Joy it would be a round-trip for me. That's kinda depressing. I'll be more than happy to jump on like, three planes for a bunch of hours each if it means laughing with the cousins again. <3

THIS IS PRETENTIOUS, BUT... if I get presents at the Picnic, hopefully they're money, and they'd go to the tickets. So, only if I'm getting something out of it would it be okay for all the attention to focus on me for a while. It would still suck though, but not as much, 'cause that's x much more dollars towards a ticket. That's only assuming I'm getting money [cash, too @_@] presents at the Picnic. For all I know [and care?], everyone forgot by now. XD

You know that feeling where you have to keep lying to someone? It's killing me.
That thought was totally un-Gaia related. XD Whatever.
