picspam. wheeeeee

2004-10-18T04:21:21Z

i just watched this show. and there was this old fart. who killed off her husband. or so they thought. twas really her retarded son. who smacked him in the head with a heavy golden thing. then she buried him under her bed.

since i have been eating sugar packets all day and am starting to get an immense headache.. i wonder why.. i have created, for you, a dom/billy picspam. *crickets chirping* ok so not many people here are as psyched as i about this (except maybe marian) but that's okay! i'll get over it. after i get some advil...

it's 1 page and pretty long so it might take a minute or two to load so if you have a slow computer that never loads anything, sucks to be you.

interesting face..

smell nice?

what is that O_O

*SMACK!*

what an interesting plane.

ponies...

awesome shirt.

constipated..?

waving to all those fans has got to be tiring.

billy: HIIII!!!!!!!!!! OMFGISOKNOWYOU *points*

aww that's cute. i don't know why. but it is.

heh heh heh

i love this picture. for some odd reason

i have another smaller version of this picture and in it the blown up picture of him and elijah isn't glaring and for a long time i had no idea that was a picture he was licking. i was so confused.

this one also scared me for a minute. but this is for hetty wainthrop investigates (a tv show) I HOPE.

yes that's dominic. e.e

this one i threw in there just because that's an awesome face.

it's the end.. hope you liked!

FRIENDS ONLY!

2004-09-09T03:28:17Z

this is a call to the colorblind
this is an IOU
i'm stranded behind a horizon line
tied up in something true

yes im grounded, got my wings clipped
i'm surrounded by all this pavement
guess i'll circle, while i'm waiting
for my fuse to dry

maybe i'll tangle in the power lines
and it might be over in a seconds time
but i'll gladly go down in a flame
if a flame's what it takes to remember my name

someday i'll fly
someday i'll soar
someday i'll be so much more
cause i'm bigger than my body gives me credit for

/john mayer/

only for friends, comment if you'd like to be one. :D

it's that time again...

2004-08-25T02:14:09Z

why the olympics rock
[1] there are super talented and hot people like michael phelps and paul hamm
[2] you and your parents both agree on putting homework off just to watch tv
[3] gives you something to do at night
[4] sometimes you'd rather watch the commercials than the show itself

okay, due to lack of sleep and hyperness, helen's friend and i came up with a song... the orignal went something like fried ham fried ham.. and random verses after that. but personally, i like this one best.

paul hamm paul hamm cheese and baloney and after the macaroni we'll have onions and pickels and pretzels and then we'll have some more paul hamm paul hamm paul hamm

second verse different at first olympic version whole lot worse

paul hamm paul hamm alexei, aaron, morgan and after the messed up judging we'll watch swimming with michael and ian and then we'll have some more paul hamm paul hamm paul hamm

not so cool

2004-07-15T14:56:38Z

so.. my ultimate plan to stay up all night for absolutely no reason at all maybe wasn't so great. hey, it sounded cool at 1 this morning. but this is what i did.

11 - 12:30 am / TV
12:30 - 3 am / internet
3 - 3:05 am / runnin around on the track (heh)
3:05 - 4 am / fellowship of the ring.. until i fell asleep and woke up at 6
6 - 9:30a m / move to my room and sleep
9:30 am - woken up at that ungodly hour to babysit. i feel really dead right now. but runnin around the track at 3 am was cool. haha. i have weird ideas.
