{ { Farther Down // Neon Trees } }
 
My Panic! At the Disco CD hasn't come yet.
 
That makes me sad. I got the new t-shirt, though.

I've had a really cool idea for a story, just last night. Funny, it was when I was reading a tip set for getting inspiration for stories.
 
I would put it up on a site like Wattpad, but I don't trust the internet. Sorry, but it's true. If it was a story I was just writing for viewers, and had no chance of even being considered for publishing, then sure.
 
But anyway, what I'm most excited about for this story is the fact that the main character would be male. Usually, I can't ever think of male main characters. And another thing that's good about it is that I've already drawn out a family tree for my characters, and I already know most of the names. The MC's name shall be Nathan. His cousin, which the book would mostly be about, shall be Aubrey, Aubrey Hanson. She has an older sister named Claudia. Oh, and they also have another cousin named Reece, who is about Nathan's age.
 
They have a bitter old grandmother, who hid away at her house by the lake and ignored her children, not even bothering to put a will together in the case of her approaching death.
 
Wait Brooke, stop! You can't give out the whole plot to the readers! You don't trust the internet, remember.

Instead, I'll name the songs I listened to in the making of this set.
 
{{ Lonely Boy - The Black Keys
 
Gold On The Ceiling - The Black Keys
 
Matchbox - The Kooks
 
Control - The Icarus Account }}
 
And seeing as three of those were from Youtube, I've probably already eaten up all of the Internet juices for this month.
 
Wehhhhrrtever.

I feel like such a poser for loving The Kooks to pieces when I only have one of their albums, but seriously, they're amazing, and I love them to pieces.
 
Looks like I'll be broke by the end of the winter, then. Seeing as I just bought Vices & Virtues, an awesome graphic t-shirt from the internet (which will probably be way too big for me but whatever) and I'll probably be buying another album by the Kooks pretty soon.
 
RAWR RAWR. I'm bored. I haven't much to say about anything going on, really, because I've noticed the sets in which the descriptions I rant about people I know get less likes. Or at least the ones where I'm swearing at people.
 
But generally, nobody's really ticked me off for the past two days, which is a record, I guess.
 
Oh, here's something I can talk to you about- the fact that I'm starting to feel sorry for Regina. Yes, the girl who mad the end of Year Seven miserable for me. I feel sympathy for her.
 
And that disturbs me. Maybe I'm not as sadistic as I thought.
 
Anyway, Regina's group- consisting of the traitor (Karen), The Gretchen Replacement, Celeste and the other girl, have decided to bring back Gretchen, after Regina kicked her out of the loop last year.
 
So I guess Regina would be ticked off with that, but that's not what I feel sorry for her about. It's the fact that they're all trying to push her away because they've realized- to an extent- what a piece of work Regina is.
 
Regina screwed up bad, right from the very start. And now that's all coming back to bite her on the butt.
 
And so I feel sorry for her.
 
ATTENTION ATTENTION RAWR RAWR: I know this set was posted waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay late, seeing as most of my recent sets have only been, what, 3 days apart? And this one has been about two weeks.
 
But I had a Math Test today, and I'm pretty sure I only got a C, and that shocked me because usually I get at least a B+, as I haven't a social life. I don't care what my Math teacher says, but Phythagoras is NOT easy. Anyway, that's off topic.
 
Me realizing I'm only going to get a C got me thinking- is Sims 2 actually important? That includes all the building, searching for downloads and LiveJournal reading.
 
No, it's not.
 
Is Polyvore- which you rarely have any set inspiration for nowadays anyway- really important?
 
No, it's not. Or at least for me in this point of my life.
 
Are my RPs important?
 
No. Because guess what? No matter how much life you give into those characters, they are still only characters.
 
Sorry for all those hearts I just broke there. I would give you a hug right now, but you wouldn't accept it.
 
But anyway, even though I know my characters are just characters, I can't part myself from writing just yet. I got an A+ in a writing task for my English class the other day, and my teacher thinks I'm good at writing.
 
She's a legend, just saying. And no, I'm not just saying that because she likes my music taste.
 
WTF, Brooke? Onto what you were supposed to be saying, before your brain ever so rudely interrupted.
 
SO ANYWAY,, I'm not going to be so active on the internet anymore! There, I said it! Because I'm in Year Eight, doing Year Nine work, which is most certainly not a bludge year! I have to focus on my schoolwork, and trying to patch up things in my real life.
 
Step 1: Be nicer to middle sister.
 
Step 2: Make more friends. Those two you have at the moment aren't going to always be at your side, Brooke!
 
Step 3: Get off computer, duh! Mum wants you to go to bed.
 

This is going to be hard, but it's something I have to do. I'll still check my Poly-Activity regularly, and reply to any Poly-Messages I deem reasonable, but don't expect a great deal of activity from me.
 
Signing off,
 
Brooke (aka the girl who hates her username, so she's not going to mention it.)

{{ I’m in a different mood than usual, so instead of only posting one song for this set, I’ll post two! Howzat?! (I was going to post three originally, but I forgot the last)
 
Use Somebody – Paramore (Kings of Leon cover)
 
Some Nights – fun. (I swear, this song.)
 
WAIT I REMEMBER: Clocks – Coldplay (It’s been in my head all day.) }}

You know what's really annoying?
 
When you want to write about your views and opinions in your set description, but you can't think of anything to say.
 
Wait, what? Brooke with nothing to say?
 
Well, I guess it's annoying when people dye their hair pink- PINK, I tell you- when it's strictly against the school rules to dye your hair an unnatural colour.
 
Or maybe I'm only complaining about this because it's the girl I dislike most who dyed it. Shut up, Brooke, she can do whatever she wants with her hair. It'll be her fault when it starts to fall out from all that trauma it's had to endure.
 
What did I say? Shut it.
 
Of course, if there wasn't a rule against it, I would certainly want to dye my hair teal. I still wouldn't be allowed to of course, but I'd still want to.
 
This set seems too plain. Well, it wouldn't have been if it wasn't for that pesky 50 item limit!
 
Brooke, this is only 45 items. You can add a few more if you want.
 
But can I be bothered? No. See you later, Poly-friends. Or you lovely folk who read these or like my sets.
 
Thanks peeps. It sort of really means a lot to me.

{{ A Letter To Elise - The Cure }}
 
Yea, that's how completely amazing I am. I listen to The Cure.
 
And a little bit of Bruno Mars. You know, those few songs that aren't so overly dirty that they make you want to throw up.
 
I like 'It Will Rain', and of course, 'When I Was Your Man'.
 
I haven't got anything interesting to say, really. It's the weekend. I don't have any bullcrap to report to you guys, this time. Check back on Tuesday.

{{ Sophomore Slump Or Comeback Of The Year - Fall Out Boy }}

Sorry this is so late. School's started up again, and then I've wanted to punch at least two people in my grade in the face for the past week, so yeah. And, I have to memorize the first 20 elements of the Periodic Table over the weekend.
 
Hydrogen, Helium, Lithium... or are the first two the other way around?
 
Sorry, no rant this time. Only that Karen is a cheater and a liar and I want nothing to do with her any more. And she thinks I still like her. Well, she's in for a surprise.
 
Anyway, see you later Polyvore. My day is to be filled with Sims 2 and homework.

{{ You - The Pretty Reckless }}
 
That being said, I usually don't listen to The Pretty Reckless. But the other day @holly-violet and I were sharing earphones and this song played. I've been in love ever since.
 
It sound so familiar and makes me feel nostalgic, though I'm pretty sure it wasn't on the radio. Maybe it was in the soundtrack of a movie. Maybe it has a similar tune to another song from my childhood. Or maybe I'm just imaging things, like those times when I hallucinate and think there's a guinea pig scampering across the backyard.
 
Yes, I know that we *do* own... five? six? guinea pigs, but I checked where the hallucination had gone an there was NOTHING THERE.
 
DUN DUN DUN..
 
I hate my school. I used to be really good friends with this one girl, but in the time that Regina was endlessly trying to keep me away from her, she changed, and now she's just some sort of creature.
 
Not that I can talk; she probably thinks the same thing about me. What is this cynical, misanthropic barely-human being? Why won't the smile that forms on her lips reach her eyes?
 
Well I'll tell you why. It's because I don't trust you, and I don't know why I ever did in the first place. I don't know why that after the fight between Regina and I- which wasn't even about the way she treated me, as a matter of fact, I had been standing up for another girl, who I now proudly call my best friend- I tried to hang out with your group and become one of you guys again, and comforted you when Regina was treating you like an untrained puppy. But I don't care anymore. And I know the next time she abuses you, I still won't.
 
Because I have my own friends now. Even though the five different groups they belong to is pretty dysfunctional, it's better than anything you'd ever be able to provide. You know what? On the first day back to school this term, I said hello to your lot. But when I turned around to face away from you, I thought, "These are my real friends."
 
That's because when I turned around, I saw my best friend, my wifey, and everybody else that I love out of the people surrounding me. I would write a list naming them, but I know they wouldn't want me posting them one here.
 
But hey, Karen? You're not on that list, and you can be sure that you'll never be.
 
You’re not the girl that I said “Sure, of course you can sit there!” to on Orientation Day that year-and-a-half-back. You’ve changed, as I said. The old Karen wouldn’t push people around like you do now. The old Karen wouldn’t have dumbed down so much that you have now just to seem more ‘popular’ or whatever you’ve done it for. The old Karen would still be my friend.
 
I’m shaking right now. No, it’s not because of the ice-cold temperatures outside; I am safe and sound and warm. What’s making me shake is either my sadness or my anger, but by the fact I’m about to burst into tears over my fury, I expect it’s both.
 
So long and good night, Polyvore. Before I do something I’ll regret to this poor, innocent keyboard. I don't think it wants to be smashed over the monitor.

{{ My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark - Fall Out Boy }}
 
Oh, how many people I could relate that quote to.
 
Not many, actually. I know I'm sadistic, but not THAT sadistic.
 
I DON'T WANNA GO TO SCHOOL
 
Stupid ------------- -------. The school's filled with 'em.
 
And I'd be fine with school if it wasn't for them.
 
Oh well. I'll actually be able to see the people I like, so I guess that's a good thing.
 
:(

{{ Fire In the Water - Feist }}
 

I quite like the Twilight Soundtracks.
 
They kind of make up for all the crap the movies and books are about.
 
I hate Science homework.
 
And English homework that I can’t finish because of stupid darn Writer’s Block.

1st Choice House - Gryffindor (my house on Pottermore- if I had any other house, I'd feel traitorous :S)
 
2nd Choice House - Ravenclaw
 
Why do you want to be in the group? - My sister @nightlock is in this group. I think she'd like it if I were in the group with her. And, of course, Harry Potter is ace :)
 
Will you be active? - Yes. Feel free to snap at me if I'm not.
