shempton pencilner

i thought you could make the text different colours on here BUT I GUESS NOT. so whats up whats going on? lets see.

1) i want to get a mac laptop cuz they're so sleek and shiney and i only care about looks really.

b) i hope when i go for my purchase interview they don't ask me anything about what i plan on doing with my life because that'd be really confusing to explain. i'd prolly be like well maybe i'll travel around, i don't really care about having a house that much. that'd be a bad thing to tell them. also another bad thing to tell them would be that i go to a therapist.

green)last night me and mark wanted to go drive to mcdonalds to watch weirdos around 8 o clock but there were no weirdos in any of the fast food restraunts. so we drove to wal mart because theres always weirdos there. we were thirsty so we went on a quest for some cold juice but wouldn;t you know it they only had warm juice! so we went to p and c and got some chilled juice and then hung out in some random parking lots. the night before that i left hanet's house an hour early because he can't read a clock. WOAH I CAN'T READ A CLOCK EITHER.

4 1/2) on friday night OR WAS IT SATURDAY? i called liz smith and we talked about various important matters like how she should go to purchase and we should share a dorm and have an entourage, chicken nuggets, and why i shouldn't go to any school dances ever.

yes. i got a hollogram eye ring from the late 60's at an antique shop today. i take it your mind has been blown. other than that, asian food stores stink. like old fish/port-a-potty/baked life savers.

SPACE VIKINGS PT. 1

Recently I’ve been inspired by the Icelandic sagas to write my own more up-to-date silly versions of the sagas. Thus begins the tale of THE SPACE VIKINGS!!!
Ketill was quietly and contently dusting a portion of his teapot collection when his mother, Ragnhild, rudely burst in. She wailed loudly and then proclaimed “ There will be a horrendous explosion, all life will merely evaporate in it’s wake!” Ketill was annoyed, this had happened almost every day this week. Yesterday it was about a great famine, Tuesday it was about a terrible plague, and Sunday evening it was about a horrible walkman shortage. Ketill wished he could just obsess over his teapots in his quarters of the space langskip in peace, without being bothered by his insane, future seeing mother. He made a quick intercom call to his father, Thor to come pick up Ragnhild from his quarters and bring her back to her white padded safe room. No one took Ragnhild seriously anyway. Thus ends this week’s installment of Space Vikings! Tune in next week to find out if Ketill finally gets some peace, if Ragnhild is safely delivered back to her room, and if Thor was able to get that nasty piece of cheese detangled from his manly beard!

street sharks yeaah

new vid eoeoeo

friday's tomorrow woo wooo

i feel like saying stuff

school is so not enjoyable lately.

new order makes good noises.

i don't like school because the people at school are not likeable. they all like highschool alot and i don't like it at all so we can't be friends. plus theres mean kids there. the kids don't like me and i don't like the kiddies.

this weekend rachel was supposed to come over to watch that bjork movie dancer in the dark. but she didn't. and she didn't give me a reason why. she was just like oh yeah i can come. and then she called back and was like sorry i can't come. so i called hanet and was like hanet, rachels being lame, come watch dancer in the dark with me. so hanet came over and the movie was all skippy so we didn't even watch it anyway. he let me borrow his little transistor radio so i could make fun noises. and i gave him these black power magazines i got at this college i went to see.

i went to see suny new paltz on friday and somehow miraculously missed the football pep rally at school (woops HEHEHE). the girls giving the college tour were so bubbley and excited about everything i was getting scared. i'm totally not applying to college there. they have lip syncing competitions at that school for fun. thats not fun guys. There was also this super annoying parent who thought it'd be really fun and cool to ask lots and lots of questions so that the tour was really really long. he was like "how does the school helpt the freshmen adjust to college? do they have activities to help them make friends? MY CHILD IS AN INTROVERT WILL YOU MAKE SURE THEY DON'T JUST STAY IN THEIR DORM?!"

and there was a girl there taking the tour who had an andy warhol bag so i decided to socialize with her since me and andy were good friends. but i just asked her 3 questions and she didn't talk to me really. it was awkward because we were walking next to each other and i couldn't think of another question. she was a bad conversationalist.

the highlight of my day was recording radio static and then slowing it down alot via the computer. it wasn't even that cool sounding. i was disappointed.

i wish it was friday. i don't have any plans for the weekend yet but i should go to toys 'r us (theres no backwards r on this keyboard). i don't know what i'll do at toys r' us. i'll probably press all the demo buttons on the toys so that they start singing really loud and people will look at me. and then i'll test ride all the bikes. and buy those cheap candy filled toys.

having more friends would be cool. oh well i guess i can't be awesome AND have lots of friends.

ima loser babaaaaaaaaay so why don't ya kill maaaaaaaah

i took this yesterday. i really like it. it's a little girl and her dad.

lying is good fun

teen magazines are stupid. so i like to write fake stories to them.

topic: embarassing prom story

This story is going to sound unbelivable, but it's true. I didn't have a date for prom so my 2 good girlfriends set me up on a blind date with one of their good guy friends I'd never met. So the night of prom my 2 friends came over to my house to take photos before prom and brought george, my date. But when they came in the front door I noticed that it was just 3 girls. I started to ask "where's george?" but then noticed that the other girl had a very prominent jawline, and when I looked closer I figured out she was actually a guy! they set me up on a date with a transvestite as a joke! We usually joke around with each other but never anything this big of a deal! but I guess my 2 girlfriends told "georgina" that I knew he was a transvestite and was cool with going to the prom with him. I didn't want to be mean to the guy because he was actually very polite and sweet, so I had no choice but to go to prom with him. It was pretty embarassing when we first got to the prom and everyone saw me with this transvestite, but no one really said anything. I got a few weird looks. George was really nice though and a very good dancer. I actually had a really good time at prom even though I got set up on a date with a transvestite. It was a really different experience, I enjoyed it.


reply from seventeen magazine:

Hey Janeen!

What a great story!! THanks for sharing it with us. You seem to have a really great attitude most girls would not have been able to enjoy their prom so much under similar circumstances but you really stepped up.

Thanks for writing in and keep on reading and writing! We really love hearing form you!

Best,
Heather

HAHAHHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAA

i won some stuff

plastic or a very cheaply produced alloy metal? i'll let you decide.

ha cha cha

so i called the film festival today to ask like what the deal was with what time they were showing everything. and then i was like soooooooo did you guys get alot of movies? and then the lady beat around the bush for like 2 minutes and then said they only got 14. ha. i better win some stuff. no just kidding i am not competitive. but seriously. i better win some stuff.

what is it? like tuesday? (nostalgia)

this is like one of those normal journal entries people do.

so today i woke up and ate this amazing muffin. and then .. i think i went on the computer and talked to hildur about muffins and prince and probably some other super important stuff (as ususal (me and hildur only talk about super important stuff)). and then she had to go like kill some dinosaurs or something and i went to hang out in the garage and listen to dub and read poetry and dance around like an idiot. and then i came back over to the house and ate chicken nuggets for lunch. they were kinda cold but i wasn't feeling in the mood to remicrowave them.

my mom called me upstairs after this and she told me about how she talked to the guidance councelor at the school about when i can do early admission for college. thats like when the really big nerd kids apply to college really early and the college thinks its cool so they are more likely to let you in. and i want to go to purchase college and no where else. its so awesome guyssss. so i can apply tomorrow if i want because thats when early admissions starts but i want to write the college essay thing (the college's want you to write essays so they can tell how awesome you are) i want to write the college essay thing during school so my english teacher can make sure it's college worthy. if i go to purchase i'm going to be in the cheeseclub and go to nyc like everyday and have a social life WOAH. well that might be a bit ambitious.

so then after that i had to go to work at the record store. no one came and bought anything. i was there for 4 hours. i'm not really sure how it stays open and it smells so bad like mildew in there. i'm pretty sure theres like mildew spores in my lungs right now making mildew babies. i read like the whole time. dan showed up at the end and he seemed more talkative today then usual. probably because he wasn't sleepy. he's almost always sleepy. anyway we had a really interesting discussion on people who are obsessed with ferrets and this place called the eagle nest. so about the ferret thing. dan said he saw a special on tv about like this ferret society where people have like a million ferrets and hang out and write songs about ferrets and poems about ferrets and talk about their ferrets and have sex with their ferrets (well maybe not the last thing but i'm sure these people would do that if it was physically possible). and he said one lady was talking about how her ferret died and she was crying and talking about how all ferrets go to heaven because they're just so playful and happy. and this other lady had a fridge that could hold 25 pounds. so whenever anyones ferret died in the ferret club society they'd put the dead ferrets in the freezer. and when they had 25 pounds of dead ferret they took all the ferrets to get cremated. and then like they distributed the ashes. you had 2 ferrets? 2 TEASPOONS FOR YOU! it was crazy i laughed so much.

then he told me about the eagles nest which i guess is this place by the railroad tracks here in the woods where kids here go to do drugs and jerk each other off. how come i never heard of this place? i do drugs! why didn't i get invited!? eagles nest is a really retarded name! man i really need to get a social life so i can get invited to the EAAAAAAAAAGELS NESSSSSSSSST. just kididing that sounds really lame. having a social life is like the hardest thing ever. srsly. i just can't do it. like you have to hang out with people allllllllll the time if you want to have a social life. why can't i just pay people to hang out with me? how come people can't just call me to do stuff? jerks.

myspace etiquette: a guide

(note: although this is not myspace i like to keep track of everything i've written or made this summer here, explaining why this article was included)

hello. i may assume you're reading this because you have at one point been faced with a question concerning what would be the polite way to deal with certain social issues on myspace. you will find all questions about proper myspace etiquette have been divided into subsections for easy access in tight situations. i will be covering topics such as the proper way to picture comment, how many bulletins you can make in a day without being an annoying asshole, the proper length for an about me, and how many pictures of yourself you can have on your myspace without coming across as arrogant. let us get started; you may take it as seriously as you want.


comments

- someone just left me a comment, what do i do?
comment them back, it's the polite thing to do. but of course don't answer it too quickly or it might seem like you're starved for friendship.

- what is the proper way to picture comment?
the proper way to picture comment is simple. come up with something nice or amusing to say about someones picture. to avoid seeming like you have no imagination stay away from using phrases such as "lol" , "omfg", "cute", or "we rock".

bulletins

- what is an appropriate subject for a bulletin?
bulletins usually inform your friends that you have new pictures on your myspace or that you have a new blog entry. filling out thousands of surveys about yourself is not proper etiquette, its just annoying.

- i made a bulletin about my new pictures yesterday and no one has commented them yet, do i make another bulletin about it today?
no, give your myspace friends time to respond, maybe they're just doing stuff thats not on the computer, or maybe they just don't care.

- i already made 4 bulletins today, can i make another?
making thousands of bulletins a day is not only pointless but it may be getting on peoples nerves. calling too much attention to yourself is most definitley not proper etiquette.


blogs

- is it a good idea to put my poetry in my blog?
no this is not a good idea, people will most likely mock you (especially if you're between the ages of 12 and 17, teenage poetry has a reputation for being ridiculously bad).

- whats the proper length for a blog?
try to keep it to 1 or 2 paragraphs, anything lengthier then that will scare off potential blog readers and that means no comments for you!

- how much personal information should i reveal in my blog?
not much, if your blog starts going into details about medical health issues or why the colour purple makes you cry, then maybe you should consider getting a more private blog. like one made out of paper. sometimes referred to as a journal.


pictures

- how many pictures can i put on my myspace of just my face?
these are tacky, try to avoid. 10 points deducted if you took them yourself, 20 points deducted if theres a thousand and they're all basically the same shot, 30 points deducted if no one even bothered to comment them.

- is it cool to put song lyrics as the picture captions?
no (tortured teenage souls are not proper etiquette)

- is it humourous to take pictures of me or my friends acting ghetto or emo?
sorry kids but this is no longer original or funny. gang signs are cliche now and so is sadness.


about me

- how long can my about me be?
try to keep this minimal. a 6 paragraph essay is way more then necessary. if you're even able to write this much about yourself more then half of it will be obsolete babble.

- is it proper etiquette to mention my friends in my about me?
yes of course, mentioning your friends is polite and proper etiquette.

- would it be a good idea for me to include all the names and abbreviations for the gangs i'm in?
no dahlin, gangs are so cliche now. especially naming them and writing about them in your about me.


media

- should i have it set so that when someone opens my myspace page the song i've uploaded immediately starts playing?
no this isn't polite, most people are trying to listen to their own music when they're on the computer and having to constantly pause everyones myspace song gets tiresome.

- how many videos can i put on my myspace?
1. anymore then that is a media overkill and you my friend, are just a media whore.

- how many flashing things can i have on my myspace?
i'm sure you can guess the answer to this, 0. giving someone a seizure is not polite.



and this is the end of the myspace etiquette guide. i hope you found it useful and informative. i wish you all happy socializing!

i took a class on this. perhaps with time i will get better.

so i'm making a movie on saturday and i think its going to be called just a body. taken from a song that i'm using in the movie. anyway haha i have a small amusing tale about the preparations for shooting it. so i sent my mom to wal mart to pick up a blue ball i wanted to use in the movie and she called me from the store asking me if a ball that wasn't solid blue but more watercolour blue was ok and if it was ok if the ball was slightly smaller then a basketball. it amused me. not sure why. also we're getting rid of this decrepit little playset in our backyard and we put an add for it in the newspaper. apparently alot of people want it because we keep getting calls but the first people who called got it. so they came over and took half of it apart, like the swings. but they couldn't get the other part of the playset to come apart so they said they'd come get it later. but we're pretty sure they're not coming back because its been 2 days. so we now have a decrepit half a swingset in our back yard that no ones going to want. great. i was planning on using the backyard in the movie, maybe i can make a feature of the sad playset.

holes

as everyone knows, mankind's greatest fear is : holes. for those of you who are unfamiliar with hole's they are a hollow place in a solid body or mass. no one wants to fall in a hole so i decided to make a list of 10 different types of holes you should try and avoid. i present you with the list.

1. black holes - no one's really quite sure what these holes are, but they are terrifying. if you were to fall into one something bad would definitely happen to you. i'm not quite sure what, but you would at least be uncomfortable.

2. the mariana trench - its the deepest hole in earth's oceanic crust. cold, wet, dark, scary. who know's what could be living in there? i certainly wouldn't want to fall in.

3. the unending hole - i'm not sure if this hole actually exists but i once heard that there was a hole on earth's surface that they didn't have advanced enough technology to find the bottom of. they tried sonar stuff, they tried throwing pennies in it, but they just couldn't find the bottom. maybe it leads to another universe? that's pretty cool but i wouldn't want to spend 4 years falling down a hole to get to another universe. i'd have to bring some stuff to keep me occupied during the fall, like some board games or a kaleidoscope. i'm not sure if kaleidoscopes work without light though, so nevermind.

4. tunnels- you should definitely try and avoid tunnels of any sort. i'm talking about subway tunnels or underwater road's that are in tunnels. tunnels are just horizontal holes aren't they?

5. pupils- those black bits in people's eyes. they're a lot like holes. infact i'm pretty sure they are holes. don't stare into anyone's eyes too long if you don't want to fall in.

6. animal made holes- don't go in these. animals usually are living inside. sometimes even bees. there are certain bees that build underground nests and what would suck more then falling down a hole while simultaneously getting stung by bee's?

7. ozone holes- it's impossible to fall in an ozone hole, but you can get sunburn because of these so they're still bad.

8. holes in your pocket - once a man went to retrieve a nickel from his pocket and it turned out there was a hole in it. his arm got sucked in and before anyone could help him he disappeared into his pocket.

9. the aubrey holes - this is a series of 56 holes at stonehenge. supposedly they're for something like astronomy. but in argument to that those stonehenge guys were really weird and i don't trust them. or their holes. don't go near these.

10. supermassive blackholes - just like a black hole only super and massive and even scarier.

tips for if you do fall in a hole : even if you did read this list of holes to avoid but still fell in a hole, it's ok. some things are unavoidable. so as you fall just relax. take this time to think about stuff. one thing that might cheer you up is pretending gravity has been reveresed and you're really being sucked out of the hole and on the way back to your normal, not really that happy, life

word cake

yeah seems like i've been doing a lot of pictures? which is odd because i'm not really that into drawing. anyway this is an idea i got this morning when i think i was half asleep/dreaming. i was thinking about a peice of pie made of words. and i woke up thinking, yeah but how do they get the words in the pie? so i thought i'd make a picture, only with cake because i like cake better then pie.

poem?

yeah i usually don't write poetry. maybe this once though. ha.

classical guitar practice

i'm working on this song and i really like it. it would have been boring if i just played it perfectly (not like this is super exciting though).

seperation

picture i made today. i guess it was a bit unclear to people. its the colours and the drawings seperated. the colour bounces into the ball. the bird is diving so fast the colour can't keep up.
