They're obnoxiously loud! They just started practicing a month ago! They're my best friends! ISitInSeatSeven!

Okay, first things first, here's their Myspace and Youtube:

Youtube!

Myspace!

Now, keep in mind these guys have awful recording and whatnot, so these links are just to give you a sense of their styleThey recently switched screamers from Devon to Brent, and Aaron actually just quit today, so they're going through changes, but man, live, they are AMAZING! Now that they've got the kinks worked out, everything just WORKS for them as a band. They've got great chemistry!

I was at practice today, too, so i got some pics! They're kinda crappy shots, but we have a lot of fun.

Ian, guitar

Joe, bass

Jeremiah, drums

Brent, vocals/screams

Look at them! ^ Ain't they cute? Go ahead, laugh at Brent...

We have so much fun, and so much crazy stuff goes on. Jeremiah shaved his pitts once, a random guy just walked in the house and started playing the drum set, etc. all the time. jeremiah even got super-hyped about the ice cream truck today:

Watchin him run...good times!

And finally, here are some more serious shots of instruments and things that I took:

Beezag!

I've mentioned this before in my blog, but since i've be invited to blog more about them, I'd really like to elaborate!

Beezag is an invite-only service wherein you watch ads and earn money, about $.08-$.10 per ad! It sounds small right now, but it ads up quick, and you can easily have that money sent either to your paypal or to a charity of your choice! Not to mention, you get great offers from all your favorite brands, and over time, as you answer questions, the offers become more and more personalized to you!

Now, usually you have to wait on a two-month or so wait list if you don't have an invite pin, but I would be more than happy to let you use mine: SIERRA

:)

Beezag is really great, and I have a lot of fun with it. I recently recieved my bracelets to give to family and friends, and they love it and can't wait to get started!

I also recieved a tee from them, which i'm probably going to spice up with boyfriend jeans and a blazer and show off at school, and a super hot pair of green aviator sunglasses that look amazing on me!

At the moment i'm up to a nice lil sum, and I may just use it on etsy to get myself a pretty necklace :)

Columbus Trip: Cosi, Zoo!

Cosi, and Columbus Zoo!

I feel awkward just now posting this, even though it was around about two weeks ago that I went haha. It was a big girls-only trip with my mother, little sister, Aunt Karrin, and two cousins. Peyton, the youngest of the two, is absolutely darling! My aunt adopted her from China, and boy is she just a pill! She had a cleft pallette, but despite her inability to pronounce things right, she's got the most colorful vocabulary! My mother asked her if she liked spicy food, and she said, "I think not!" Keep in mind, she's three!

I really wish I hadn't forgot my camera for cosi, but luckily I remembered to bring it to the zoo! I was really inspired by the apes and bonobos. Seeing the interactions between the great apes is amazing, they really are so humanoid. It kills me in my heart to know that their homes are being killed, and their families, butchered for meat. More people need to realize that these gorgeous creatures, our cousins, are disappearing. At cosi, we watched a movie about Jane Austen. One clip really got me- She was discussing the discovery of chimps fashioning tools out of sticks to collect ants and eat them. The most remarkable thing about this was that, at that time, the only thing in the dictionary separating humans and chimps was the fact that humans could use tools. Now that it was found that chimps DID in fact use tools, what difference would be made? It seemed that the only thing to do would be to give an ape human rights.

My aunt is currently working on a rescue habitat for chimps saved from animal testing facilities. It's amazing, really, seeing it in construction...

Here are some pictures I took of the apes and bonobos:

^These two were having tons of fun playing all over...

...while dad looked on...it was so sweet!

^Bonobo mother and child

^If you look really close here, you'll see the top of the tiny infant's head!

I also really loved the manatees. The only had two females, though :( :

The saltwater tanks:

These clams were so beautiful, and almost the size of me!

Maybe it's just a divers' thing, but there just something about the ocean that is so beautiful...its so quiet, yet so full of life...completely stunning...i just feel like I have this connection with the sea... Anyone else have this feeling?

some other misc. photos of beautiul birds, etc:

And here was my outfit for the day:

Our dogs are an adorable little couple. Our newfoundland Wyatt is larger than me, and has taken to caring for mazy, our lil fluffy weiner dog puppy. She's so sweet and he knows just how to take care of her. She has a little rope and he has a big one, and she cant get a good enough hold on his, so he gets a hold of hers in the tip of his teeth, and teases her, then waits for her to get a good hold on it, tugs her around, then lets her go, then she runs around the couch, lets him take it off her, and the cycle repeats. Its so sweet how he could throw her all over and kill her, but He's so gentle and loving...he just got tired and layed down and she curled up in his tummy...

I aspire...

To earn a Sunshine Award...maybe someday... :)
