Every once in a while I'll come check my xanga to see if anyone made any new comments...usually in vain. So I figured five months is a long enough time to go without making an update. What's new you ask? Well to sum up everything that has happened in the last five months...

...I have cotton candy in my hair...seriously.

p.s. Don't expect me to make another update any time soon. I know I have a lot of avid readers but you'll just have to wait!

p.p.s. This is basically just a test to see how many people still use xanga.

Get it? For your eyes only...but it's a xanga post...and it's public. So like everyone can read it. Everyone in the whole world. Get it?

Well then. In other news, I haven't made a xanga post in quite some time. Just because I'm lazy pretty much. I've been meaning to and I've started making posts but I never finish them. But anywho...uh...I've been working at the theatre and stuff. It's a pretty fun job I think. Today was really fun actually. I thought it was at least. Well actually it was yesterday technically. Anyways yeah it was fun and I finally got my first paycheck...after like 3 weeks.

Um...gah I seriously don't know what else to say. I mean I have a ton to say but...not really. Well maybe I'll edit with more later. At least this is a new post.

Lady sing the blues so well
As if she mean it
As if it's hell down here
In the smoke-filled world
Where the jokes are cold
They don't laugh at jokes
They laugh at tragedies

Corner street societies
But they believe her
They never leave her
While she sings she make them feel things
She says, i can sing this song so blue
That you will cry in spite of you
Little wet tears on your baby's shoulder
Little wet tears on your baby's shoulder

And I have walked these streets so long
There ain't nothing right, there ain't nothing wrong
But the little wet tears on my baby's shoulder
The little wet tears on your baby's shoulder

Lady lights a cigarette, puffs away, no regret
Takes a look around, no regrets, no regrets
Stretches out like branches of a poplar tree
She says, i'm free
Sings so soft as if she'll break, says
I can sing this song so blue
That you will cry in spite of you
Little wet tears on your baby's shoulder
Little wet tears on your baby's shoulder

I have walked these streets so long
There ain't nothing right, nothing wrong
But the little wet tears on my baby's shoulder
The little wet tears on your baby's shoulder

But on this stage
I've learned to fly
Learned to sing
And learned to cry
Little wet tears on my baby's shoulder
Little wet tears on my baby's shoulder

But now it's time
To say goodbye
Some might laugh
But I will surely cry
Little wet tears on my baby's shoulder
Little wet tears on my baby's shoulder

Lady lights a cigarette
Puffs away, and winter comes
And she forgets

Well it's been a while hasn't it?...let's see...

My first day at the theater was last saturday. I thought it was pretty fun and I'm pretty sure it wasn't very busy but I had little to compare it to. I also worked yesterday and it was pretty busy...again though I have nothing to compare it to. I saw Hilary going to see Holiday with her parents but I couldn't say hi cuz it was so busy. So yeah that's how that's going so far. I work again today at 11:30.

Ok I was gonna say stuff about christmas but...I'll do it later.

*edit*

So yeah...for Christmas I got an iPod shuffle and some under armor. Hilary gave me the first season of the office which we just watched...like an hour ago...but technically it was yesterday. Anywho Christmas was good. I also got a cd I wanted and various other small things.

Sorry for making you work Hilary...really I am.

Ugh...I'm going to bed. I always mean to update with more stuff but I'm just too tired/don't care. So yeah.

Ahem!

Mon, 18 Dec 2006 00:23:54 GMT

Well let's see...this morning I woke up at 10:37 and church starts at 10:45. So yeah I was late...my dad wasn't very happy.

The band concert was today and I'd say that went pretty well.

uh...

Oh yeah yesterday Hil(ary) and I went to Nicky's bday party thing...it was fun. We played Halo which I haven't played in forever and Super Smash Bros as well. I pretty much kicked the crap out of Hilary the whole time...but I feel kind of bad cuz I kind of picked on her...sorry. Please don't stop talking to me. Btw I'm eating your reese's pieces as we speak. But yeah we left Nicky's early cuz some certain people started to show up and Hil(ary) was the only girl there. And yeah they had already started saying stupid stuff that I wasn't gonna put up with...plus I sort of felt like Hilary was fresh meat to most of those guys. So yeah..we left early and watched Zoolander at my house. What a great movie...

Ok so I'm thinking about what I'm typing here and I realize...who exactly am I telling? I'm telling Jess and Hilary basically because you guys are the only one's who actually use xanga and check mine. Obviously Hilary already knows about everything I've said and I'm guessing Hilary told Jess...so who am I telling? It's like it's pointless or something...lol. But who cares it's an update so shutup.

I'm kind of embarrassed by my use of chat lingo...especially "cuz"...I hate that one. But it's habit. I used to not say "lol" because (cuz) I thought it was dumb but eventually I gave in...whatevs (whatever).

So I looked up the lyrics to "Your Guardian Angel" and I hate to say it but they are incredibly bland...like I'm sorry if that diminishes your attachment to the song or whatever...but I just wasn't really impressed. They were just really sappy and cliche. Not to say that it's not a good song...I really like it, but it's just like the typical song done by a band like that. Like you could easily find a similar song by another similar band. Whatevs...

Oh yeah I forgot to say...Ryan's TKD testing thing on saturday morning was pretty cool. I got some awesome pictures.

Dang this is kind of a long post...go me.

High Five!

*edit*

I wanted to put lyrics up...just because. I really love this song...it is very heart felt.

Walking By
Something Corporate

Your grand dad left home for the circus. He was young just like me,
with hope to explore. He married a girl in Virginia.
She could swing the trapeze; they could sleep on the floor.

Your mother was born in December, on the one sunny day that winter gave up.
She had warm summer eyes that flickered like fireflies,
when she stared at the world.

So why do you leave these stories unfinished,
my Cheshire cat doorstop with tears in your eyes?
Why do you look when you've already found it?
What did you find that could leave you walking by?

She was raised in a New England village.
Then she moved to LA with her firefly stare,
and you loved sunset strip when it sparkled,
you grew up and you sparkled but why don't you care?

So why do you leave these stories unfinished,
my Cheshire cat doorstop with tears in your eyes?
Why do you look when you've already found me?
What did you find that could leave you walking by?

And these nights I get high just from breathing.
When I lie here with you I'm sure that I'm real,
like that firework over the freeway.
I could stay here all day but that's not how you feel.

So why do you leave these questions unanswered?
The circus awaits and you're already gone.
My Cheshire cat doorstop with fear in your smile,
what makes it so easy for you to be walking by?
And what did I do that you can't seem to want me?
Why do we lie here and whisper goodbyes?
Where can I go that your pictures won't haunt me?
What makes it so easy for you to be walking by?

I'm giving up on the whole just editing old posts thing. I think people will probably notice new posts better.

Ark City game was tonight...pretty dang intense and I sort of lost my voice. We lost though...which was kinda crappy. Oh well as long as we get 'em at home. Totally got Arby's after the game and it was delicious.

Hey you....yes you.

You're Hilary Barbour...

...and I'm Aaron Rankin.

Just a friendly reminder.

Maybe I'll edit with some more later...

*Edit*

It's later now...so I'm editing.

The pimp-mobile's battery died outside my house and moby had to help it come back to life. We always seem to have adventures don't we? Maybe one of us is bad luck coughyoucough.

Well golly gee...what else is there? October 22nd has become an important date in history folks. Muy importante indeed.

I read a quote on my homepage that says any time anyone asks you your age you should reply with "seventeen and insane"...that is only if you're seventeen. Which whaddya know, I am seventeen. So now if anyone asks my age I'll reply with "seventeen and insane". Ya dig?

Soy contento.

Right-o. I bought a few cds today. Quite happy with that. Windows Media Player 11 has now been release through automatic windows update (as was IE 7 about a week earlier) so I've been trying to get used to that. I think I'll like it as soon as I'm comfy with it.

So I've been thinking about discontinuing new posts and just re-editing the same post over and over again to see how many comments I can rack up (because that's how you measure how cool you are right?...right?).

Moms got the christmas tree today...it's pretty cool.

Easy squeezy lemon peezy...

Xanga

Ok to tell you the truth I'm not feeling extremely thoughtful at the moment...it's like my brain is sort of on standby or something. So yeah...it snowed like crazy today (actually it's still snowing) and we got dismissed early which was awesome. I'm pretty confident there won't be school tomorrow (sorry Hilary) which will again be awesome though I'll have nothing to do really...actually all weekend I think I'll be pretty bored with Hilary gone.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....I'm seriously just drawing blanks here folks. I have nothing to say. I think I need sleep. Maybe I'll update with an edit later.

*edit*

First of all, it's 2:57 in the morning and I'm at Taylor's watching people play monopoly...I'm seriously about to konk out...right after I say I need more sleep and now here I am. But whatevs...I've got a story to tell...

So I was out running sort of late at night and as I was getting closer to the house I thought I heard someone behind me. So I turned around as I was coming into my yard and there was an enormous St. Bernard chasing after me. Honestly the dog came up above my waste. I thought for a second that it was gonna absolutely maul me but I just stood on the porch and it trotted up to me...it basically like shoved me around and stuff and that was it. So my mom called the police and they said that they only take care of things like that if someone has called in for a missing dog. So I had taken him into the garage to wait for the police and then my mom told me to just let him go. So I tried, but he didn't leave...like any time I tried to go inside he'd try to go in with me. I finally snuck away from him and got inside and he stayed out on our porch for like 10 min trying to get in...he like bit the door knob on our front door and tried to open it. So yeah later I went out and lit the chiminea and sort of let him stay in the garage a little bit cuz I could tell he was cold...so basically I hung out with this dog for quite a while and then taylor called and now here I am. I have a bunch of pics of the dog that I'll put on later. But yeah...that's that.

*edit*

Here's the monstrous dog that almost ate my face off.

Eulogy

Mon, 27 Nov 2006 20:58:14 GMT

We gather here today to mourn our dearly departed friend, Aaron's 1998 Chevrolet S10 Truck. On a Friday afternoon she experienced major mechanical failure. Today the malfunction was dubbed engine failure and it was decided that the engine must be replaced. Seeing as that would cost thousands of dollars, we have determined that she should be sold and I will have to find a new companion. It is a sad day indeed.
