My Shop!
{EmoSeal.etsy.com}
and my Etsy related blog:
http://emoseal.blogspot.com/
Buy jewelry and other such things from me =)
Or you can make a donation:
(I am a broke college student who owes her school lots of money she doesn't have, I'm always trying to save up to visit my favorite person (who lives 2,000 miles away from me), and I've been really wanting to get a tattoo in memory of my nephew Eythan for a while now...so if you want to help an Emo Seal out, but nothing in my shop suits your taste, this is how to do it =])

copying this from a myspace bulletin i just posted:
This is probably one of the best articles I've read so far about what happened to Mike, Marc, and the rest of their band, A City Serene (despite the alliterative title): http://www3.signonsandiego.com/stor
You can help by leaving positive comments on the band's MySpace page or their individual pages, by donating to the PayPal link posted on their MySpace, or by purchasing their EP or a t-shirt. Their MySpace url is http://www.myspace.com/acityserene
I am also going to be donating a percentage from any Etsy sales I make in my shop to the band (quite frankly because I am broke and this is really the only way I'm going to get money to donate to them myself):
{EmoSeal.etsy.com}
Because I've read some negative responses to calls for help (all from people outside of the situation - oh, internet), keep in mind that the money we donate is mostly going towards helping their families, who are all commuting back and forth from hospitals 2-3 hours away to visit their kids or maybe staying in hotels to be nearby. It's going towards helping replace equipment that was damaged in the crash. This goes beyond medical expenses. We're all broke, I know, but anything at all, even a dollar, is going to be helpful. And leaving a few encouraging words, letting them know that we care about them and we want them to get better, will mean a lot to them.
So far all the news I've been hearing is mostly positive - they're slowly getting a little bit better each day. All we can do is be positive and hope for the best.
Thanks <3

Magnet - Believe
Walking in with open eyes
Fingers crossed, throw the dice
Not enough room in here for compromise
Turning water into wine, or turning sober and left behind
One chance, out of my hands, and it all starts making sense
I'm gonna do this like I know what I'm doing
I'm gonna do this my own way
'Cause I don't know what I'm supposed to believe in
Might as well believe in me
( more )
-and-
Grandaddy - Elevate Myself
I don't wanna work all night and day
On writing songs that make the young girls cry
Or playing little solos on the keyboard
So the kids will ask me how and why
I just wanna, I just wanna
I just wanna elevate myself
I just wanna, I just wanna
I just wanna elevate myself
And maybe for a little
Get to where I find it really hard to hate myself
( more )

i am selling some old books on ebay's half.com...they are pretty cheap. check them out: http://shops.half.ebay.com/emo-seal
applied for vons today. still need to turn in the barnes and noble application i printed out. still need a stupid body gems application.
i've been going through stuff for the past two days. it is not exciting. realized i have obscene amounts of old poetry floating around. i have also realized that no matter how much i sort through stuff and toss out old papers, i have too much crap. i don't know what to do. i have these six big orange tubs and two are empty right now, four are about half way full. stuff all over my floor. one other big blue tub i haven't opened yet and some miscellanious boxes. if i could just get rid of everything BUT those orange tubs, filled, i would feel good. but even that sounds optimistic to me.
i miss joshua. i'm okay, i can function about as well as i ever did, but i miss him. it drives me crazy how goddamn normal everything is even though this hasn't been the norm for two months, but i guess it's less torturous this way. talked to him on the phone a bit today...he's visiting his cousin and calling his old boss sometime tonight to see if he can have his job back. anddd he's going to try to go to a recording studio this weekend to do some singing. pretty cool.
i keep forgetting to eat. yesterday i didn't get dinner til midnight and today i'm lucky i got a bowl of cereal two hours after getting up. need to fucking eat something...
sigh, tomorrow is new year's eve. don't ask me how but it feels like that completely snuck up on me. hayden might come over and apparently there's some block party or some shit on our street so i guess we'll be at that. and here crocheting...he promised to teach me.
okay seriously, food time. bye.

...did you guys seriously just fucking call Hannah Montana legendary?
I can't even answer the question now.
edit:
tera melos was legendary.
saw them by complete accident.
sounds stupid but everything about it was just right and amazing and it worked and it made me feel this weird awesome feeling the entire time.
most pete yorn concerts have had a legendary feel to them for me
first one cos it was the first one, second one bad people were around so eh, third one was fantastic and so many people came together to make it that way, plus i got something signed, fourth was great because i got my first picture with him and a compliment from him on a shirt i made, and fifth should have been more epic, but my friend kinda messed up the night after we had watched pete play (he played at this radio station's christmas show with silversun pickups, the shins, and modest mouse and my friend didn't care too much about the shins and hated modest mouse so we didn't really see them play at all...might never forgive him for that).
i have seen the pixies, which i think qualifies as legendary
the ramones was my first concert ever (first of my own at least, i had gone to some that were my parent's idea, but i won the ramones tickets on my own) but i don't remember a damn thing about it
say anything blows my mind
mason jennings and zach gill was a very happy experience
rabbit in the moon was unrepeatable
and i think that seeing something corporate play at knott's soak city for some dumb middle school fundraiser thing before they were anyone, letting kids jump around on the little stage with them and playing the same set over and over all day because it was all they had at the time is something that not too many other people can brag about =)

i've been feeling compelled to do this for like a week at least, so what the fuck.
wish list
-a million things off of etsy (currently, there is a hoodie for only $20 that is killing me. there are also some sweet glass plugs)
-6 gauge plugs
-eythan tattoo
-septum piercinggggg. have to pay for completely by myself though. i decided.
-various cds - ben folds comes to mind right now, but god knows there's a billion more
-new zip hoodie - not black
-those goddamn purple corduroys pants...
-a real sewing machine
-yo money
-an alternative to polymer clay
-a bigger bed
-i'm just saying stupid stuff now
-i'm also starting to feel like i have too much crap to be asking for anything new
-still want your money though
-and second ear piercings
-NEW LENSES FOR MY GLASSES!!! <--this is actually a need
-more time =/
i feel like all i do when i come home is try not to think too hard about anything, and by the time i'm all relaxed and ready to do something, it's late or i'm too tired for it. thus, it is hard to keep up with etsy (making stuff and promoting), to think of/make new patches for my jacket, etc.
-more amanda fucking palmer clues
-sigh this has gotten so off track, i was just going to list stupid material bullshit

my life from this day forward shall be dedicated to finding out who killed amanda palmer.
...haha. seriously though. there is this whole crazy web-game-puzzle-thingie going on for it and i am so fucking sucked into it, it's just not even funny. there are crazy creepy emails, websites, voicemails, forums, texts, videos...it is by far the most awesome thing ever to come into existance and it's not so insanely complicated that i feel like i can't play a part in it (like, when nin did that whole year zero thing, way out of my league, didn't even bother).
if you are interested in getting involved, start by emailing thestrangeriswatching@gmail.com - doesn't matter what you say. if you want help, there's a few places you can go...
forum post of the basic facts we know up to now (the cheap, fast way - kinda spoils it):
http://www.theshadowbox.net/forum/i
two much longer, much more in-depth looks at what's happening and the order that it happened in:
http://www.theshadowbox.net/forum/i
http://www.theshadowbox.net/forum/i
(personally, i recommend going to these first)
and someone posted this breakdown of the characters so far and their links:
http://community.livejournal.com/dresde
so exciteddd about this...i'm never gonna get my homework done with this going on though...and i think i'm already annoying joshua with having nothing but this to talk about...haha, sigh.
i love amanda palmer.

EDIT: awesome awesome guide here:

1) Click that link.
2) Look for Joshua Terwilliger - Ballroom Blitz (it should be somewhere in the right hand column).
3) FUCKING VOTE FOR HIM. Haha...no, seriously though.
4) After you vote, you have to check the email you typed in and CONFIRM your vote.
That's it!
Help my super awesome fiancé win this thing already (he get's money! it would help him move down here! exciting!) ESPECIALLY IF YOU DON'T WANT ME TO MOVE AWAY.
Yeahhhh, take that.
And if you're feeling extra nice, repost this! He needs as many votes as possible...

i see you lying next to me
with words i thought i'd never speak -
awake and unfraid,
asleep or dead
a woman in the kitchen told me that true love it waits
but of all the rules it lives by that's the one it hates
she says it hurts but it's worth it
every dream too good to come true
floods my heart when i'm with you -
if you need a reason as to why you're here
you don't need to look farther than me

so i promised to post my final women's studies report, and uh, here i am! yup. i'll post the prompt too so you sorta get where this came from. warning- it's pretty long (had to be five pages) so uh...yup.
Prompt:
"In order to experience and critically reflect upon the strength of gender norms in our society, write a 5-6 page typed essay on a gender transgression that you perform outside of class. Think of an act or behavior that you associate with another gender, do it, and then write a paper about it. Immediately after you perform your act, make notes about your feelings, thoughts, and observations while they are fresh in your mind. I will accept alternative liberating acts that don’t specifically address gender transgression, however you must meet with me personally and it will be decided on a case-by-case basis."
my "transgression"? holding another girl's hand. GASP!
