I just discovered that The Format, one of the few bands I have ever desired to see in concert, are on hiatus indefinitely. My dreams are crushed. I even made up a piano arrangement for their damn song! What the EFF...

"Why are you so pathetic, Muffy?" Shut up. The next thing you should be wondering is "Muffy, why are you up at 2 in the morning?" Ladies and gentlemen, we've already gone over this, I'm an insomniac, plain an simple. No matter how much turkey I eat (the melatonin puts you to sleep), I cannot drift away to lalaland. It's impossible.

Apparently my parents were oblivious of my intentions to continue jump rope through college. So my dad gets on my case today, as if it were his problem anymore...remember, you're not paying for it, so shut up and get out of my business. I suppose this has been a good reminder though, to keep looking for ways of bringing in money, whether it be through work on campus or through scholarships. I'm really hoping this Resident Adviser position works out for me next year. It completely covers room and board, and gives me the Gold level food package, which is even more than I currently have ordered. Oooh snaps, that saves $10,000 a year...*drools*

I should probably get some sleep, seeing as how Nationals is in less than a week and I need to be in tip-top shape. Muffy over and out!

P.S. Is it just me or does the white text against the black background make your eyes hurt? I should think to change this in future latyouts...

Prepare to be amazed. So what if the ending is wierd, and the "extended scene" is purely ridiculous? For an amateur animator, this is some incredible work:

If you can't tell, this guy had a fetish for lesbian lovers. I know this because I do my research (hey, was I the only one going "why are they all over each other??" at the end?) It's ok though, the action sequences made up for the awkward ending, PLUS there were plenty of Matrix references to keep Muffy verrrr happy Personally, I would've enjoyed it more if Samus had kept the suit on longer, but this Monty Oum guy clearly had other things on his mind *sigh*.



Just my luck, I bomb my last Physics test and only NOW am I finding out, 2 weeks after school is over. As it stands, I have a C- in the class...and I have my fingers very firmly crossed that that grade is with all the other missing assigments I have. Shit. I'm not that bad of a student, I swear. I have straight A's across the board as far as other classes go, but this one is a joke. If anything kills Senior year, it's getting the motivation to just finish your shit. Having a terrible teacher doesn't help any, but alas there can be no excuses for my failure. I'm hoping that the UW doesn't withdraw their offer of enrollment because of this little screwup...I'm trying to remain optimistic. I've heard worse horror stories than this, I think I will be able to fly in undetected.

Oh, and people need to stop recommending their own frickin entries.

GRR. I was just finishing my entry when Internet Explorer suddenly experienced an error, closed, and restarted before I could say "omfg."

ANYWAYS. What I was going to say before IE rudely interrupted me....I got my first pair of Chucks yesterday . It was an out-of-character decision for me, but I was bored and ready to try something new. I've always been one to jump on the bandwagon a little late. It'll be a bit before I get used to the flat sole, but I like 'em .

My current musical obsession is on the left. I listened to the song all the way back from Lake Chelan, and it is a beautiful thing. There hasn't been another band, aside from Motion City, that I have ever wanted to see in concert...but the music these guys make runs off pure energy, and I love the feeling. [For some reason the clip only plays part of the song, to hear the whole thing click on box]

Lately I've been a little bit apprehensive about who I'm becoming. I broke out of my shell this year, and for that I am sooo thankful...but in a way it worries me. I'm less apt to take crap from people, but sometimes I feel like I don't know where the line is. Am I standing up for myself or am I overreacting and just being an asshole? The same goes for modesty. Am I displaying my talents or just being an arrogant showoff? I guess my identity isn't whole yet, which is something college can hopefully fix.

Shoot, it's sunny and I'm holed up in my room. On the computer, as always. I need to go jump rope or something, get out in the sun a little. Good day Nutang, Muffy over and out!

I think I'm crazy.

Not like "lock this hoe up for life" kind of insane...I just can't get my brain to stop. Is there a disorder for hyperactive brain activity? Every time I'm sitting alone with ample time to contemplate, my mind starts flying at a thousand miles per hour, trying to analyze random thoughts and "what if" scenarios that lead to an infinite number of equally puzzling circumstances. Memories and emotions only complicate it. I feel like I'm drowning in a mental tidal wave, and my mind is somehow melting into the flow.

By that description I'm sure it sounds like I am off my rocker. I swear I'm not. I'm completely comprehensive of the world around me. I don't have thoughts of homocide or crazy shit like that. I just can't stop thinking...and it only happens when I'm not preoccupied with something else. Surprisingly, my dreams are pretty docile if non existent, so sleep somehow tranquilizes my psyche. It comes and goes in rushes, I have no idea how else to explain the feeling .

It's happening right now as we speak, and thinking about it only makes it worse so I'm going to try and focus on something less...unnerving.

But I can't. Damn. Happy father's day? I made this for part of my dad's card...The Incredible Dad.

Tomorrow I'm going shopping with SOME of the $1200 I got from graduation...the rest is heading to the bank where I will never see it again .

Muffy over and out!

Edit: In hindsight, this was perhaps not a very smart entry to make. I was going through one of my psychosis freakouts when I wrote it...so I sound thoroughly disoriented and just plain crazy. Whatever. I like being weird.

Lake Chelan was some of the best fun I've had in a very long time. Three days was waaay too short, I felt like I was only there for one. The minute I got home I was bored. That's how badly spoiled with partying I've been this past week. I hate to use the term "partying" because that almost implies drinking in any other context, but I assure you I was completely sober the entire trip. Too bad I can't really say that about some of the other grads that were there. Everyone that stayed in the condo was clean, but the campsite people were...smashed. I don't really understand why anyone would want to get shitfaced "for fun." To me that says "we're boring and don't have anything else to do."

Anyhow, aside from dealing with some under-the-influence former classmates for a few hours, the trip was amazing. The tie for most memorable memory goes to the late-night running around Wapato Point or our beach time. I'm really wanting to go back, it was a blast. I don' t know what I'm going to do without my peeps next year, it's gonna be tough.

On a more serious note, I'm getting apprehensive about the future again . Stoopid jobs and money always causing so much pain in the brain...I'm second-guessing my dedication to journalisim because I realized that:
1.) It doesn't pay
2.) I only liked journalism in high school because I was a page editor and had a leadership position. Not going to happen in college

I'm still going to look into communications and psychology, but my focus has gotten all blurred again. Not to mention my ridiculous paranoia of the oil crisis. Sheesh. I'm going to forget about all of these while I travel over the course of the next month, but I'll inevitably have to come to a decision eventually...curses.

The events that have transpired since my "temporary post" a week and a half ago have been...amazing.

I don't know where to start. Maybe the beginning.

Traditionally, at my high school we have an assembly every year called Moving Up, which literally has each grade level move up to their new designated section in the bleachers for next year. The cheerleaders do a just-for-laughs performance with Senior guys (I got to do it this year, and it was sooo much fun; maybe video later), and the dance team also peforms. But what made that day special also follows tradition: at the beginning of our high school careers, as freshman, the class of 08 entered Federal Way High School through a line of teachers, and fittingly, on our last day at FWHS we left through the very same line. Everyone was crying. I was crying, my friends were crying, my mom was a comlete mess...it was on that day that it hit me: I would probably never see many of these people again in my life.

Of course, the ones who really matter to me, I will be seeing again. I'm going to make sure of it. But just the fact that I'm leaving so many amazing memories behind...it kills me on the inside.

I graduated Monday. It was the strangest thing, to be dressed with cap and gown, shaking hands and recieving my diploma...I don't think it's really hit me yet that high school is over. I was walking through the halls this morning to drop off some stuff to my former teachers when I thought to myself, "I don't go here anymore." It was weird.

Anyhow, after graduation the fun picked up with Senior Grad Night, which was essentially a 7-hour party till 5am this morning, housed in 2 different locations around Seattle. There was bowling, Wii, Segway races, sumo wrestling, gambling, all-you-can-eat buffet, dancing, a hypnotist show (I'm a believer now), bowling, pool, drinks, etc.. I had a pretty damn good time too. It was nice to be able to party it up with the class of '08, because I know I won't be seeing many of them again .

On the bright side, I leave for Lake Chelan tomorrow for another 3-day party up at my friend's condo, which his parents are so kindly renting out as his grad present. It's going to be sweeeet, if the weather permits . And it probably won't, but whatever. I'm going to make some fun out of it.

Nationals is in two weeks, I spend the night at the UW for Advising and Orientation, I leave the 4th of July for the Indiana, and then leave for South Africa at the end of July for Worlds. Basically, summer is going to kick ass.

I don't know how else to chronicle what's happened over the past 1.5 weeks. I can only explain the activities I have partaken in...the emotional side is way beyond me and I don't think you want to hear about it anyways. Pictures from my last day of school are located in the gallery, as well as pictures from graduation. Having fun stalking.

Until Muffy can get his brain figured out...over and out!

First of all, let me say that I am impressed by all the consistent bloggers we have here on Nutang.
Secondly...I was this close to posting an actual blog. Give me a few more days...Muffy shall return.

Eoiruwo woeu ppoijol wpoiue pr ouoiuoi!! oiejro??
I'M BORED. It's 1:30, I should be tired...I sort of am, but I hate sleeping. If it was possible for human beings not to sleep I would most definitely have it be that way. Although, that would make cuddling incredibly difficult...hmmm...

Anyways, I saw Iron Man. Yeah yeah, I'm going to be go along with the general public and say it was a pretty damn good movie. True, it takes FOREVER for Robert Downey Jr. to get suited up in the Mark III armor (sweeeet stuff), but that's pretty much how all origin movies are. I'm already anticipating (and speculating upon) a sequel...
My list of need-to-see movies:

• The Happening


• The Incredible Hulk


• Wanted


• The Forbidding Kingdom


• Hancock

Nifty little movie place here.
Ok I'm going to try and put this boundless energy to other, more productive uses...like homework.

Muffy over and out!
