Polls / Automatic or Manual Car

« on: October 01, 2007, 07:44:11 pm »

I'm getting a new car sometime soon being that a 90 year old man rear ended me going 35 miles per hour while i was completely stopped and totaled my Acura.

i've been wanting to learn to drive manual transmission but I can't decide if I want my new car to be stick or auto.

opinions?

the car i'm looking at that i want the most is a mini cooper... and I feel almost ridiculous buying that car in automatic, it was made to be driven properly! but..

cons- i live in LA- home of stop and go traffic, tail gating drivers and hills. i don't want to be stuck in traffic stopped on a hill and have my car roll backwards into another car.

-i wont be able to drive it home from the dealer without stalling every 5 minutes

pros- its more fun to drive and more control over the car
        - I'll finally learn
        - its $1300 cheaper than the auto trans.


what would you do??

Completely Off-Topic / Pandora

« on: July 03, 2006, 01:11:54 pm »

my friend just told me about this cool online music site.

www.pandora.com

You tell it what type of music you like, by entering the name of the song or artist and it plays songs that have similar qualities that it think you might like, and then based on what it plays you tell it if you like it or not, and then it learns from you every time and gets to know what you like and what you don't like. it's cool because you can find a lot of cool artists that you otherwise might not have found out about...

you can have different radio stations like.. one for one type of music and one for another type that you like... or you can just mix them all together on one station. and it's web based so you don't have to download anything.

it's really fun and actually addicting!

you should try it!

Completely Off-Topic / why/when did US change "s" to "z"?

« on: May 27, 2006, 11:46:12 pm »

I've never really understood this.. does anyone really know?

words like personalise, realise, are spelled with a z instead of an s in the united states... why? i know we butchered the language but i just dont understand why we changed the spelling of things? also why did we get rid of the U in honour or colour ? i can't seem to find a good reason for it...

fresh out of jessica's head.
any suggestions for a title?



I, can’t seem to stop
Writing songs about you

My, my mind
Needs something to dream about
And it seems to favor you
 
My, my eyes, stare out ahead into a light
I see, a place
And it’s you and I
Laying down
On a bed asleep
I stare at your chest
Watch it rise and fall

I want to reach out and feel
Your breath upon my skin

But this is gone
This time is gone

So I, wake myself from this dream
Of memories
Tell myself that they’re gone
Don’t try to tell me that you’re gone

Because I
I smell your scent
In the air
It tells me you are here
When I listen to that song
Think of our first time
Hold me now
Don’t wake me now

Cos I
Don’t want to forget
The taste of your lips
The love in your fingertips
Those hands
They soothe my skin
Oh and then you begin with
Those eyes
Shades of amber
Shades of you
I love them more than you will know
I love you more than you will know

So I, wake myself from this dream
Of memories
Tell myself that they’re gone
Don’t try to tell me that you’re gone

Because
These memories
Are all I have left to dream

I cant seem to stop
writing songs about you.

Creative Endeavors / "canvas of swirls"

« on: October 28, 2004, 12:36:22 am »

By Jessica
bout me and my best friend

cutting through the canvas of my life full of swirls
picking out a diamond shape and naming it my world
the top is where we live at now
girl, we've got it all
and even when it fades away
i know you'll be waiting at the bottom to break my fall

im thankful for each day
you give my life a little sun
energy and confidence
i'm glad i've got just one

you know you've got a friend for life
when they're holding your hair back as you lean
forward into a basin full of not so lovely things
the party isnt over now but we dont mind spending our time
with my arms around your shoulders wiping mascara as you cry
its these moments on the bathroom floor that prove we can make it through
rain and fire, any man's desires, we're as thick as starbuck's whipped cream

sometimes we're black and white
night and sky but in the end we're all the same
two lonely girls that found their way
ever since that lonely day

you piss me off, you wipe my tears
you know my every move
we insult eachother with love and hate
but in the end, its all good.

im thankful for each day
you give my life a little sun
energy and confidence
girl, we've got just one life
and even when it fades away
i know you'll be at the top, waiting to help me if i fall

(c) my music. :)

im an assistant for a sculpture class at my school.. cos i already took all the sculpture classes there are lol.. so i pretty much just get to make whatever i want, which is cool, cos i got bored, and was inspired by the vc unicorn sticker i had on my notebook, and i made a necklace!
