I finally got around to watching "Across the Universe" over the summer (with a friend of mine coincidentally named Jude) and thought, huh, this is a good idea. Adapting the movie to music instead of the other way around. Pretty neat stuff.

Just two more days. I've got everything I need. I can't wait for it to begin.

Last year, then-juniors Kareem Sayegh, Natsuki Nakamura, and Karolina Kalbarczyk invited me to be a member of a new group, Uni High's first dance crew: Tempe Fugi.

Halloween has long been a celebration of dressing up without ramifications. Ever since maybe seventh grade, when I dressed as a Barbie Doll to my friend's Goth, I've felt like Halloween is an excuse for girls to dress up, well … sluttily.

I have always had a love for music. Every since I've been alive that's all I could think of. Not just all rock or all rap — all things that sound good. Rock, country, alternative, hip-hop, pop, even polka; anything you put on I'll listen to.

Seeing as to how I should be working on some chemistry homework right now, a great idea for a blog entry just occurred to me. I am going to talk about procrastination.

I’d like to start out by saying that I normally like to at least try and follow politics and current events, as part of being a semi-informed citizen and all of that. But with two weeks left before everyone (by which I mean 35 percent of non-felon citizens over age 18 or whatever) goes off to vote, I’ve reached my limit, I have to say:

I want this election to be over.

It's a common phenomenon in high schools: using "gay" as a synonym for negativity.

I have been obsessed with shoes for a very long time. In fact, my first word was "shoe."

Whenever I go to a store, the first thing I notice are the shoes. I just love staring at them! The colors, the styles … to me, shoes equate to a Rembrandt.

Due to the fact that the debates can't seem to last very long on the TVs in our house, and the other fact that I was far too lazy to move to a room with a TV in it, I decided to watch the debate tonight online. That way, I could watch while filling out music surveys on Facebook (read: doing my homework).

Time and time again I hear people say "It seems so boring" and "All you do is run" in response to the question: Why don't you join cross country?

In the third and final debate between presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama, McCain needed something big. All the major networks talked about how he would have to be at his best to make sure that his campaign would be able to rebound after a hellish last few weeks. He came out and looked Obama straight in the eye and thus began the debate.

8:05 p.m. — Hey, we're already back to the same old song and dance … the economy! I feel like it should spelled with capital letters. The Economy. That sounds better.

I'm thinking I should write more. But I'm also thinking that I've got nothing else to say.

I guess I could do what the candidates do — repeat the same things over again.
