the mint

went to the chiller for the first time tonight. it was a pretty good time. i love the mint--and tried to catch the bassist's eye, but he failed to be caught. mary star of the sea. genius. i saw kyle from biology class there--we chilled after everyone left, and shared a lemonade. i got the mint's EP, though. they didn't play alright, but they play enough shows around here that i'll be able to hear it someday.

got my prom dress today. dunno what i'm going to do, though, because it's definitely not mormon--as it doesn't have straps. gorgeous, though. very audrey hepburn and gives me uber curves, at the sacrafice of being able to breathe and eat. whatev. i look good.

today on the way home from school i was singing daysleeper by REM. the part where it's like "talk of circadian rhythms..." and i was thinking about the research paper i did. good story.

first let's just unzip your religion down

so this weekend is competing with last for being the worst one of my life...and i got talked to for about three hours this morning about how i'm being selfish for doing everything i had planned this summer. and oh yeah, i'm supposed to stop moping whenever i come down here and they only want me to be happy, as long as i'm being an adult and sacrificing. eff this.

entertain me

so far this weekend has sucked. today we were supposed to make aaron a care package, but we all slept in and so we didn't go to the office to pick up pictures...blah blah blah. i stayed up mad late again talking to randon and krissie and mike. but now, they're all gone. mike and krissie have work and randon's off having a social life. kyle stayed in york this weekend for a lacrosse game. so i'm just babysitting the little kids--which is, admittedly, fun. i'm also almost finished with "All is Swell-Trust in Thelma's Way" and as soon as I'm done, I'm going to start The Heartbreaking Work of a Staggering Genius. And dad has a book called 1421: The Year China Discovered America. So I'm all set until 10 or so tonight, when everyone's coming home. Mike has a Beatles documentary that I wanted to see so maybe he'll remember to get that. Oh, and I drove dad's truck to the Harkness's and ended up ramming the side into a bunch of tree branches, which made him yell at me, and me try not to cry. I hate not being a really good driver. I'm either too cautious or too lackadasical. Frustrates me.
Krissie showed me pretty pictures of myself from the trip to Florida. One's really cute, with me and Ali and Maren and the other's me laughing into the distance.

summer 2004

i had never hyperventilated before.

sherman powow

i had a fun talk with dad on the steps of the courthouse, today. about sherman alexie and jingle dresses and pow wows. there's going to be a big one in september when the museum opens in dc, so lissa and i are going to get jingle dresses made and dance in it. won't that be freakin awesome? i told him i didn't want the hardcore looking indians [like lissa] to think i was a loser hippie who wanted some culture. he said that people who are around indians a lot know that we look like them, so maybe. it's the big fat face and huge eyebrows. i really want a jingle dress. and i already have mocasins, but i'd freakin DIE in them because they're so hot. ohhh so cool.

mexico, baby. these indians know.

i've been thinking about john an awful lot lately. the whole road trip scenario and i don't know if he's serious about it at all and i really hate being so apprehensive about falling head over heels in love with an idea. but i have these cute daydreams about reading on the road out loud and stopping at gas stations in green polka dotted skirts and listening to weezer with the windows down. watching people drive is such a turn-on, and the open road gives me some kind of thrill that can't be matched. so if this doesn't happen i'll be heartbroken.

for the record, i'm starting a fund to get me to louisiana this summer. donations welcome.

my heart hurts like dimmesdales when i think of that polka dotted skirt and holding hands in the front seat.

and i hate being the only one in love.

drowning
[Sheepie]
"it was a standard suicide drowning - filled her pockets with rocks and waded in." The officer's words echoed in my head as I sat on the riverbank watching pebbles and stones clattering towards me. When one leaped into my pocket, I got up and ran.

raise
[Nicole]
I raised my hands high above my head and whispered, "Go, just go." That was the end of it. I didn't want to see him anymore, I gave up and this was the end. Never mind what the problem was, something petty like always, but eventually, these things build and build until it is a mountain of problems waiting at your doorstep. And you must have your theoretical bags packed.

[Keladryb]
She lifts her glass towards the sky, toasting the future, toasting the present. Beside her, he's grinning broadly, a rare gesture for him, and she wants to kiss him for it. He notices her looking and ducks away, not willing to admit to such an out-of-character moment. She raises her glass and begins the toast to the new year, and beside her, he's smiling.

sleepover

i fell asleep last night at the buergers and spent the night. it was a good time. we didn't really do much. listened to the beautiful south and made smoothies last night and eggs this morning. i'm supposed to be cleaning the kitchen right now, then my room, so i can play with mia....
mom said we might go viethai tonight. so that's enough motivation for anything.

only now i can't find the three songs i want to listen to right now on this computer. meh

they call 'general anxiety disorder'

i have these panic moments. usually they're about getting older, about finity, but sometimes they are diverted. right now it's normal schools tuff--not finishing assignments, and people being mad at me [and wondering why i'm so afraid of that] and having to deal with everything instead of hiding from it, and it's getting a little overhwelming.

but it's all right.

i'm listening to this song by the cure, and i feel so late whenever i pick up old music, but it seems so pristine and emotional. and it's making me relax. because summer's almost here--and even though i still don't have my passport or my permit, summer's almost here. by summer i mean green leaves and breezy skirts and sunburn and volleyball and hide and go seek in the dark in the gordy's back yard and the sun setting late and fooling the grown-ups into staying up even later. it gives me this incredible feeling of relief.

one more thing--
on my playlist there's two songs that i had forgotten about--they're bits i recorded on my mom's phone at the flogging molly concert. and one of michael playing guitar and christa screaming.

so just calm down. it'll be all right. breathe

say what?

we all drink we lemonade

so last night lissa and i were watching a plastic surgery show about breast augmentation, and one woman had some wierd thing where they were flat on the bottom and i'm really worried that mine are like that...i thought i was okay, and they look pretty normal, but still. i hope not. =/

oh yeah angels and demons is awesome. frickin awesome. i'm like 2/3 of the way through and i can't freakin put it down.

so here's my freak triumph of the day. i came home and poured myself a bowl of cocoa pebbles and put them BACK because they're not healthy! and i made myself a tuna sandwhich with pepperjack cheese and had a glass of milk. and it was delicious. awesome, huh?

i hate frau zimmerman more and more every day. she infuriates me. and apparently she's going to be my german teacher next year, too! bleh. her and mr. adams should get married because they'd win crappiest child award.
