So, I’m 18 1/2. 5’2” and a freshman in college. Love music but don’t play an instrument – though I am quite fond of air drums and guitar. I write crazy stories. You see, this is what I have to work with so that’s why they’re so fucked up. Don’t give me that look. I like it. I have red striped hair on brown and it's pretty long at the moment.


I would probably have to lable Green Day as my number 1 band. Billie Joe, Mike and Tre are my first loves and the reason I am alive now really. They got me through some depression last year and some drinking. This year has been just as much of a rollercoaster or more even, but a lot happier I think. I have a beer every once in awhile, but nothing like it used to be.

On December 20th, 2006, me and a friend got to meet Mike Dirnt at Rudy's Can't Fail Cafe! That was the most awesome moment, and he truly is a very nice guy. I hated to intrude, but I did get an autograph on a napkin. Me and my friend were pretty much in shock after that, and as he and his family were leaving, he came back over to our table and handed us a guitar pick he found in his pocket. He said, "Sorry I don't have two, you guys will have to cut it in half." We did too. :)

And here's an awesome story: this year I found out that I babysit for the second drummer of the band The Offspring when they were first starting out. He lives across the street, wife, two kids and is now a doctor. I never would have guessed It's a fucking small world. We got him to sign their very first album that he played on.

I want a couple of tattoos, just another few months until I am legal for California. The first is an all black copy of the heart grenade on American Idiot. It's for the album and it pretty much sums up my life in a bunch of ways that would take another three pages to say, but don't get me wrong, I listen to every album of Green Day pretty equally. They are one of the few bands where I truly love every one. I would also like a little red star on my hand (yes, much like Billie Joe's (for him in a way (because Billie writes the majority of the lyrics and that's what got me loving them))). It would be my Waiting lucky star as other Green Day fans have done, as well as the guys.

If you are still reading this, I absolutely love you. Umm…be excellent to each other. Party on dudes. And, Everyone, just get through high school. It can get better. You don't ever have to stop being punk though. Rock on.

If you have not read Catcher in the Rye, do it. It's really a great book. Yes, people will be forced to read it in class, but don't let that ruin it for you. I will admit I read it because of Who Wrote Holden Caulfield?, the fact that it is Billie Joe's favorite book as well as Kurt Kobain's, and Gerard Way and Frank Iero's come to find out. I have not had the chance, but it's a book I would really like to read again, and believe me, if I want to do that, it's fucking good.
