Everyone knows songs purcahsed from iTunes are in a "protected" AAC format (also known as m4P) which renders it incompatible with any any thing that is not Apple or i"anything". Many of us have been frustrated or angry with this restriction of our well purchased songs, but there is a way...
In my naivete I found a simple solution. I burned four songs onto a CD, three of them purchased in iTunes (thus in protected AAC). Today I decided to test my experiment on Windows Media Player and play the first song in the CD that was from the iTunes store. And, it worked! Clearly, it was a simple solution to a very bothersome problem; I didn't have to reformat anything at all! My happiness was confirmed further when all four songs were successfully copied to the Media Player's library.
For this amazing technological feat I would like to thank my mother for giving me my very first cell phone, the Samsung Juke, my older brother for telling me of a website where I can make my own ringtones free, and La Oreja De Van Gogh for their song "Muñeca De Trapo" the first song from iTunes that I heard on the Media Player as well as "Aquarius" from the movie soundtrack for being my first music ringtone. Thank you all very much for your influence.
Now, I don't fear too much of any repercussions for this is an extremely obscure blog.

Sad Radiohead
Have you ever felt the days were your world was never going to get better?
You want to try but the earth is pulling down, paralyzing you, bringing you down to the depressing reality instead of the honest kind?
I feel bad for my sister. My little brother says he's not bad; everyone else stresses him out and everyone is stupid, fat, and all those things. He says he doesn't like fighting but right now, before I forget, he likes getting people mad. He keeps screaming, insulting, and making the other person (me or my little sister) look like the over-dramtic crybaby who should not be listened to. Look at her crying and rambling, she's obviously mentally unstable. My mother doesn't help much or not at all.
She does have her faults, some are progressing worse. But she doesn't desereve the stress and frustration she's feeling right now; she's only ten. I felt that angry and hurt all the time when I was thirteen and in eighth grade. I dealt with other things at her age much differently.
Maybe it's just her personality and how she learned to deal with past experiences. I don't why but she is very different from me and she feels more sadness than I think she deserves. I just hope she'll feel better soon, I don't want her to be sad, depressed like my older brother and maybe me.
And of couse I might fail this semester of AP English Language. I'm worried this will absolutly ruin my chances of attending San Jose State University, where I want to attend. I know two people in the profressional Comedysportz team there (I want to be a part of it) and San Jose State has a housing building called International House. I want to be the baby of both places. I feel very doubtful very often but my mom says I need to believe all the time that it will happen and I need to work for it too.
In short, I need to keep the faith.
(I put Sad Radiohead because if you listen to Fake Plastic Trees you'll figure out my mood)

Not Really...
My mom never disconnected the Internet connection.
I was just too lazy to update.
I finally finished the godforsaken Gothlet. It didn't fit. The design is for women and I'm a teenager and I'm a petite teenager; something I realized when I wore the finished piece. I'm also a chorus member (an extra) for the school play, for the fifth play in a row, and it's the musical, You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown.
As for my knitting, I knit a hat for my friend's bithday that's on Oct. 16 and I'm getting close to finishing the long gloves (don't underestimate the yardage of Rowan Kidsilk Haze), and in the queue is my little sister's pair of normal gloves from Classic Knits, the lace top from Glamour Knits, the Snow Devil from Domikintrix, and gifts for my friends for the holidays. I need to get a job. But, I still have one thing...
I'm falling for Gael Garcia Bernal.

Don't be Alarmed
Hello people.
My mother has recently threatened to disconnect the Internet service of our house today. So, if there are no new posts for a while, that's probably why.
At any rate, I started school and was moving along fine until I saw that I was not enrolled in the intermediate/advanced drama class because my Japanese III class took precedent. And, there is only one of each class and they're both at the same time; that's my predicament. Luckily, I came up with the solution to be the Japanese teacher's assistant for my fifth class and attend drama during sixth, but I do have to drop Intro to Photography. I hope that arrangement can be made.
Well, hopefully I can write more and my mother doesn't disconnect the Internet service like she did to our Directv. Toodles.

Like a Rolling Stone
Right now I can't think of much.
It could be the very obvious California summer heat that's making my mind a complete and total blank. I still have three essays to write for school tomorrow, I want a Volkswagon Microbus (jump on the hippie wagon) and I'm starting to dislike the Gothlet thing.
Blah
I would very much like it to be done so I can move on to the lace top in Glamour Knits and the Snow Devil and Lil' Red Riding Hoodie from Domiknitrix (hoodie's for my little sister). Not only that but to relax, chillax. I don't care. Blah
How does it feel to be without a home
Like a rolling stone
Does anybody read this?

Unhappy Things
It's been a while since I last posted, but I guess I've been lazy. I hadn't knitted in a while either; it's probably because I had trouble the Gothlet pattern. That issue has been resolved and now I'm totally obssessed with it again, but there's another drag. I had homework over the summer for my class this school year and it sucks.
I have no problem going back to school. I have a reason to straighten my hair, wear make-up, see my friends, and finally get out of the house for at least half of day. That way I can say that I was in school and I have to do my homework, so my mom won't scream at me as much to do stuff around the house. But, there's the homework.
I really didn't want to but, I have to cram. My essays that analyze and evaluate a commentator's columns are not going to be so great. Right now, I really don't care; I'm going to be given the benefit of the doubt anyway because it's the beginning of the school year.
I hope I get early lunch.
