Gah... I never have good luck.

So I went prom dress shopping last weekend, and no joke, at the first place I looked I found the PERFECT dress. It fits me, it doesn't need to be tailored, it was reasonably priced, it looks great...

Then I find out that my friend (the annoying one) bought a dress of the same color, relatively the same length, and with the same style straps.

Damn. She doesn't even look good in that color, I do. And she picked out an ugly-ass dress, but she's probably going to be hanging around me the whole time, so it's gonna look dumb if we're wearing the same color. It's annoying the crap out of me, because just when I was starting to not hate her anymore, she does something that screws up my life again. My mom has since dragged me to like 5 other dress stores, but I've found nothing as great as that first dress.

So now I have the choice to wear the dress I want to and look stupid next to someone wearing a similar dress, or kill myself to find another one before next Saturday.

A phone number where you can call to donate... repeating videos of impoverished children... countless singers performing in support of the cause... celebrities endorsing the telethon... and now it has its own charity song too???????

Basically, "Idol Gives Back" has just turned into Live Aid 3.

All we need now to make it official is for Bob Geldof to show up.

Oh yeah, and where the f*ck is Bono??

I'm going to Live Earth.

Don't worry, it's way less cool than it sounds.

It's the one in New Jersey, not England. My mom wouldn't agree to the London one (even thought I pretty much know for sure that U2 are going to play this concert, and they're going to play it there)

Also, my parents wouldn't let me stay home on Monday when the tickets went on sale, so my dad had to do it from work. He didn't try to get them as soon as they went on sale, which I told him you HAVE to do with online tickets. He also took so long filling out the ordering form that the page expired and he had to do it all again.

So, I'm stuck in the nosebleeds. It's probably gonna suck. At least I can watch it at home when the whole thing is over...

My parents said bring binoculars. lol. I can just see this turning into that episode of Rocko's Modern Life where his seat was on a giant platform like 100 feat above the stadium. :P

Okay, so I talked to my friend today, who obviously wants me to go to prom. I think I'm probably going to go with her friend Ian. I've met him once, he's nice. (And he's not the guy who stares at leaves lol.) He did look a little odd, if I remember correctly (i think he might've had a short ponytail or something), but my friend says he cleans up well, so whatever. I guess I'll go just for the hell of it.

Of course, it would be really freaking awesome if I could get the guy I actually want to go with me to take me, but I don't think it would work. I'll probably just let him slip through my fingers.

I'm getting really stressed out. Prom is less than a month away, and I have no idea what I'm doing.

My friends of course really really want me to go, but I'm not sure I want to. Because my date would end up being one of my friends' guy friends... most of whom I don't know at all. The only one I do know is a guy who never talks or eats when I see him at parties, he just sits there and stares at stuff. So it's not exactly like it would be fun to dance with him... lol.

There is a guy that I really like, and that I'd like to go to prom with, but I don't think he'd want to go with me. I know that just sounds like the same thing everyone says when really the guy likes them just as much as they like him, but I honestly just can't see us going together.

Even if he said yes, he would have to sit at a table with my friends, including the weird one I keep ranting about. I pretty much know for a fact that he wouldn't have a good time. Which means he would never like me again. It's sad because I really like him, but if I ever imagine us together at prom or on a date or whatever, it just never seems right. I dunno if that's some sort of 'sign' that we're not right for each other, or if it's just me being paranoid and chicken about asking him.

I don't think I want to go to prom at all, not if I'm going to have to spend the night with someone I don't know at all. I know I won't really have a good time. I asked my friend who goes to another high school if she knows anyone that would want to go with me- i.e. guys from my jr. high class- but by now I think she just forgot I asked her.

Plus like half the people in my class have already said they're not going, so no one's going to be there.

Basically all I'd do by not going is let my friends down majorly.

I guess it's not technically even a real song, but it's kept me laughing for two straight weeks, so that's something...

Please tell me I'm not the only one who gets this joke.

OMG. This is the first sentence of Akon's Wikipedia article:

Akon (born Aliaune Damala Bouga Time Puru Nacka Locku Lu Lu Lu Badara Akon Thiam)

I know he's African, but c'mon... overkill much???? I wonder how he chose which one of his 12 first names he wanted to use as his stage name. lol.

OMG. I should just stop going to the dentist. He himself doesn't even look at me for more than ten seconds- for the rest of the time, I get to have my teeth scraped by his assistant. Who is REALLY chatty.

And the things she chats about are things that NO ONE wants to know. Last time I was there, she gave me a history of every political view she has.

This time, I got...

Her visit to a nude beach!

Amoung the cringeworthy things this woman told me were her friend's husband standing over her completely naked, and that you "don't really notice the boobs" when peoples entire bodies are tanned.

Um, something tells me you'd still notice the boobs.

And I SERIOUSLY think she needs to take some small-talk etiquette lessons!! You don't tell someone about taking your top off while you're grinding a sharp metal hook against their teeth!!!!!

Sheesh.

"Q Magazine:

The 100 Greatest YouTube Moments
No.11: Queen Rock Live Aid
Keywords: Queen, Live Aid

With their career on the skids, 1985's Live Aid was make or break for Queen (debatable - Ed). They knew it, and drilled their 20 minute set for an entire week. It paid off: Freddie Mercury and co have Wembley's 72,000 - strong crowd eating out of their hands. A Channel 4 survey named their performance the best rock gig ever. Magnifico, indeed."

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was the first, THE. FIRST. person, of ANYONE to put Queen's Live Aid set on YouTube. Unfortunately a few months ago my account got disabled for copyright infringement. So all the videos were taken down.

And now some other lucky little bastard gets to have millions of hits on their videos of the EXACT SAME THING I should be getting credit for!!

Just my luck.
