I did this instead of spanish homework

Oct 26, 2009

Weekend tales later, formspring now.

Do you smell like teen spirit?

Um I think that’s a deodorant from the 90s so that would be no.

There is a boarding school in North Carolina that is the only Jewish one in the country. It’s called American Hebrew Academy. My aunt works there,and I’m applying.

Nice!

something………. no wait, that is too boring, and cliché. but sometimes clichés are all too appropriate and all too true. is this one of those times?

I don’t know. True about clichés.

I broke both my ankles and have been lying on the sofa for two weeks.

That really sucks.

White Sox or Cubbies?

Cubs, but they’re both Chicaaago.

Spencer Tweedy is the coolest pre-teen ever.

Thank youuuuuu.

Help

I need someboday, not just anyboday, you know I need someone, heeelllp.

Have you listened to Karen O’s Where the Wild Things Are soundtrack?

Nope, not other than in the movie. I can’t wait to get it.

Why are you like the best photographer in the world?

Aw. I’m not.

hello. i just wanted to see if you’d actually answer this an dput it on your blog. n_n kthxbye

HAHA I did!

she’s a jar

I like that song.

Wilco

I like that band.

Where do you want to go to high school?

Probably Whitney Young.

“sometimes i can hear my bones straining under the weight of all the lives i’m not living”

I feel like I’ve heard that somewhere before.

hey

Hi.

Don’t believe everything you think.

I think I believe that’s pretty decent advice.

Hello internet box! You are white. Is it racist that I noticed that? I hope note.

Note not noot. It would be racist if you called it a cracker.

I need a name for a super awesome female Boston Terrier. What do you think?

Veruca.

I like mackerel.

Is that a fish?

Why does BaROCK ROCK?

Obama ‘08 son.

hello

Hi again.

Did you go to the show last night [a week ago] at UIC?

Yeah!

So I was at work one day when my friend skype’s me this website: People of Wal-Mart. It is hysterical. So I am looking at the pics and laughing, when I see this guy I know. He was one of my teachers in middle school. Who knew…. it was hilarious. Check out the website sometime…www.peopleofwalmart.com

Hah okay.

THIS is an improvement from homework, definitely.

Right ooon.

This is not nasty and will NOT make someone angry or hurt, i hope.

Your thoughtfulness is appreciated.

There are many different faces of beautiful, and I’ve never seen an ugly person.

You must have never looked in the mirror! OH SNAP just kidding that’s very hopeful.

I LOVE YOU MARRY ME hahahahaha HAHAHAHAHAHA! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! i am a weirrrrrrrrrrdooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!

Haaaaheeeeehoooooo ha.

“The most courageous act is still to think for yourself. Aloud.” ~Coco Chanel

The 90s, bright colors, plaid, and being yourself are so in.

Wow who makes this stuff up?

What shtuff?

And the cat says moo.

Misleading.

The form was submitted successfully.

Apparently.

Hey from Omaha, Nebraska, NOT! tehe

GOOD ONE!

I don’t understand the need for swine flu shots. I bet more peoples will die from the vaccine alone than the actual virus. Who am I kidding?? SIGN ME UP WAL-MART!!

Yeah, I don’t know what the deal is (like if they are necessary or even work or not). A doctor that my family is really close with is frantically telling everybody to get them, so..

Bandages are an understatement.

Amen.

Swine Flu is the cover up for a zombie invasion because the Government would get all nutso if people started broadcasting it. Face it, all you know is a lieeee.

Dude you should totally write a conspiracy theory book!

I put the limo in limousine.

Very proud’ya!

Do you hope to play music for a living like your Dad, or would you like to pursue something else (photography, business, etc.)?

Yep! I’d love to be able to make music my job, while also writing and taking pictures.

i like the world too.

That’s good.

Narwhals are the unicorns of the sea!

Mhmm! A couple days ago some kids at my school were doing a “survey” (walking around the halls) to ask people if they think narwhals are real or not. They’re real.

hey

HI AGAIN.

You know, I’m starting to think that everybody is in your life for a reason. And I’m thinking that my best friend was here to show me that texas sucks, and I need to move somewhere colder. My mom is here to show me the values of going away to college:) and my grandpa was here to show me that loosing someone is the only way to prove to yourself how much you care about them. umm yea.

Oh cool. I think there’s a term for that philosophy.

who let the dogs out?

Um I dunno ask wikipedia.

What do eight-year old boys think about? I really do wonder.

You’d have to ask a living specimen.

Are you single? My little sister would be perfect for you.

Yeah totally send her over. Arranged marriage okay?

How does this thing work?

GET WITH THE TIMES, MAN.

Do you think you happened into playing drums because of your environment, or would you have found them if you weren’t surrounded by music?

I think that’s impossible to say. If you believe in like prophetic destiny or something, probably. But I think being in the family I am and the place I grew up has totally had a hand in my playing of music.

Going to see Bob Dylan Nov. 6th Detroit, MI. Have you ever seen him perform live?

Awesome! I haven’t seen him live (might soon, though!) before but the people I know who have told me he’s very old and croaky. But that’s okay cause he’s magical and special.

Have you seen Harold and Maude? Do you think you’re more like Maude or Harold?

Oh I love that movie so much (I’ve still only seen it once, though). I’d say a little bit of both. Like Harold in that he’s young and still learning and stuff and maybe unlike Maude in that she’s an eighty year old woman..

what do you dream about? mine are always so fuzzy.

I can hardly ever remember mine ever. When I do it’s usually something with people from school or places I’ve been.

Spencer, I think you resemble the very awesome Noah Lennox aka Panda Bear from Animal Collective.

Oh yeah? In what way?

so what is your least favorite song of your Dad’s?

Haha probably Reservations.

you are hilarious, and your blog makes me happy. i hope if i have kids some day they turn out as well-adjusted and smart and kind-hearted as you. way to turn out great!

That is really nice to hear. That sad part is I’M TOTALLY THE OPPOSITE HAHA TRICKED YOU OBNOXIOUS PRETENTIOUS ANGSTY BRAT ANGST FART.

I really appreciate your hair. Also, why won’t you accept my request on twitter? I’m nice.

Thanks, I like it too. Sorry about the denial of friend requestage!

will everything be okay?

Yes.

I saw Sammie [Sammy, GET IT RIGHT] take a tumble at Sunday night’s concert. Is he okay?

Yeah, thanks for asking. He slipped on some beer and rolled his ankle or something. A paramedic guy came into the dressing room to check on him and asked if we wanted to go to the hospital and we said “no way José” because it was just a lil’ fall.

You are a pretty “techy” kid yet you also live and breathe music [and play a mean drum kit]. Do you anticipate pursing a technology-related career, a career in music..or neither?

Definitely music. I’m not so “techy” now.. I’m interested in web design but not the other stuff as much anymore.

What is your favorite thing to say when something goes horribly wrong, such as hiking on a trail and the person in front of you lets go of a branch they had moved out of the way and it swiftly swings back, slapping you in the face?

Aw darn it!

reading your blog & your uncle danny’s gets me through my days at work. so don’t stop. or work would really suck.

What’s your jaaahb?

You won’t let those robots eat me, will you?

Nuh-uh.

Do you ever find yourself listening to Uncle Tupelo or Son Volt, or is that off limits in the Tweedy household?

The only music off-limits in the Tweedy household is Gretchen Wilson. Other than that, we have every Uncle Tupelo record (duhhhh) and every Son Volt record, and are free to listen or love any of them.

right or left handed?

Lefty.

“You can laugh with us or at us, but without us you won’t be laughing. And that’s the most important thing: to laugh.” A friend of mine who’s been dealing with depression and substance abuse issues recently told me this when we were talking about why we both love doing improv. It really stuck with me and gives me hope for his full recovery.

I could see that on one of the memorable quote websites. I hope your friend gets better.

Zombies+Transformers vs. Unicorns+Vulcans, which side, and this can’t be a biased decision.

Dude Unicorns & Vulcans. First of all, unicorn, and Spock is half Vulcan, so they already win.

what would you say has been the most inspirational book you have read so far?

Hmm the most recent would be Perks Of Being A Wallflower.

what’s your take on freedom?

Freedom is to not be oppressed nor strangled and to be your own being..?

My mom is on the phone and talking a lot! What excuse should I use to get her off the phone???? HELP!

Tell her your buddy Thurston Moore is out to get her.

You really need to get the Where the Wild Things Are soundtrack. I never get tired of listening to it, although I wish it included “Wake Up” from the trailer.

Speaking of “Smells like Teen Spirit”, Patti Smith’s cover version came up in iTunes DJ. A pleasant surprise & I like her recent album of covers even though some of them are pretty weird, like using a banjo in “Teen Spirit”.

You are a hoot, Spencer Tweedy X-D

The blog is always a nice peek into your thoughts, but the formspring
is really fun because it is so many little quick insights about vastly different things. Hope you keep it going. :-D

Yeah, mine was the boarding school one. I meant to say the only Jewish one in the country, not the only one. :)
