hey! congratulations on finding my journal!
having a friends only journal makes me:
- mysterious
- someone you want to get to know
- a lot cooler than before, when my journal was public
this makes you:
- curious
- someone who is bored and wants to know what all the hype is about
- a potential stalker
either way, leave a message here if you wish to be added. i will most likely add
you back. i will add you back even faster if you have a joke to tell me or send me a sexy picture.
by the way, don't those pancakes look really good? i want some right now!!

a few days ago brett called me and we had a good talk. it was an awesome surprize. i had some doubts, but i am definatly going back to london again next year. then yesterday night while i was expecting to be alone doing homework allll night i heard a knock on the door. it was jay! and he came to surprize me b/c his classes were canceled. it made me happy and i ended up going to The House with him and listening to the jazz quartet while i worked on my sketches for class. i need to stop thinking about sad things all the time and start concentrating on happy things more. what sucks is that my art gets better when i do think about sad things. maybe my art and i can come up with some sort of comprimise- like staying out of my dreams.

yaye! i voted today. it was fun. jay and i left last night for his house and he told me that he was going to make me wake up at 5 am so we could vote and then leave for dekalb and i believed him so i got mad, but he was joking. so when we woke up and we went to vote at our respective voting places and then we went and got brunch. and i did not for the life of me want to come back to school or dekalb. tonite we are going to stay up to see the election results. but not before i get to study for my french quiz tomarrow :(
if you haven't voted yet go and vote. you still have time! polls close at 7.

4:38 pm - grandma's headstone
|
date today: october 25, 2004
date of death on my grandma's headstone: december 5, 2004.
i know she is laughing about this somewhere. she would have loved this. my whole family was like "what, she's still alive?" this kind of this could only happen to MY family.
just think....somewhere out there is a gravestone with a deseased date on it that hasn't even come yet. crazy.
current mood: amused, but in a confused way

once i decided that i will watch the parade i immediatly wanted a cigarette. the idea of being outside for a long period of time promted these feelings and at that point i hadn't realized how long i have went without one. weird.
jena convinced me to go to the football game this weekend. i've never been to one and i'm hoping i won't be to terribly bored b/c i'm not a very big football fan. alcohol and friends may sweeten the deal.
jay and i are hanging out tonite. i haven't seen him in a long time and i haven't spent time with him in even longer. freakin weird. i don't know what we're doing yet though, hopefully something fun.
i still really really want a pet snake. maybe i'll have more luck finding one at home.
i am addicted to "the raincoats". listening to the same album over and over and i never get sick of it.
i love my brother, but that boy is freakin whipped and acting like a jerkoff.
current mood:  thoughtful
current music: the raincoats

i am soooo sick. i haven't been able to sleep for more than 2 hours at a time (and for no more than 6 hours) in the past 2 days. my head is killing me and my sinuses are about to explode. i wasn't able to get a doctors appointment until tomarrow. i saw the sunrise this morning. at around 5:30 AM i started hallucinating and came up with 2 really awesome art ideas. i'm not going to my classes today and i'm still debating on whether i should go tomarrow. after 2 whole years of not getting sick once, this being sick twice in a 2 month time frame is really really pissing me off.
current mood:  angry
current music: nothing. my head is pounding.

ottos tonite was sooooo much fun. jay's band's set was awesome (except they didn't play that radiohead cover i love so much). i was the happiest today that i have been in a long time b/c my brother is here. unfortunatly he is leaving tomarrow to go see our parents. also, brett called me tonite to say hi, but unfortunatly i missed his call. it seems like it is mostly people of the male species that bring my spirits wayyyy up (like jay, my brother, brett, willy goat, sean, and jay's band members) but there are some female exceptions (such as melissa, ac, jena, ellen, and lil) who i seem to be able to really relate to and have them accept my critical and (very often) strange personality and creative juices just as most males seem to do.
wow. now i am drunken rambling. so i should stop.
in conclusion i don't want my brother to leave and i want my voice back!
current mood:  drunk
current music: jay's band in my head

so i have an exciting weekend ahead of me. tomarrow jena and i are going to ottos to see her friends band play. that will be fun! elaine + drinking + a public place with music = a fun experience.
on saturday MY BROTHER IS COMING TO VISIT ME!!!! this is a very big deal to me because i haven't got to hang out with him in almost 5 months! I AM SO EXCITED TO SEE HIM! and we are going to ottos on saturday to see jay's band play. if anyone that reads this wants to come too let me know b/c i would love for my brother to meet my friends here and vice versa (and of course to see jay's band). so my brother will be here saturday and then he is leaving sunday night to go see our parents. his school gets a fall break so he gets monday and tuesday off that lucky wennie.
other than people from the past still feeling the need to intrude into my life and the never-ending homework burden from school (along with a few other things that are none of the general publics business), my life is pretty damn good.
current mood:  anxious
current music: a perfect circle

funny quote i heard while eavesdropping (one of my favourite pasttimes) on my way to class: "and that was the first time i ever puked."
the whole time i was just imagining this person telling the story about the first time they ever puked. hilarious.

9:21 pm - grandpa scarves, england, and my buzzing low e string
|
brett called me today. he hasn't been able to sleep for a week due to extreme jet lag. we talked about plans for me to visit again next year around the same time i visited before (which worked out exceptionally well), except this time i will get to stay longer! because he is graduating. very excited about this. also, he now has 2 matresses in his room so i won't have to sleep on the floor or the cramped bed! yaye! my mom also found me a sweet plane ticket deal through this club my aunt belongs to. i can't wait to see all my england friends again! and this time if queen adreena isn't playing a show when i am there i will hunt them down and make them play a private show just for me!
my low e string on my guitar is buzzing really bad! so bad that it hurts to play it so i need to get it set up soon.
i talked to melissa a lot today. i miss her and i hope i get a chance to hang out with her when i go home for my grandma's dedication in a few weeks.
my brother is coming to visit this weekend! i am planning to take him to ottos to go see jay's band play. so everyone else who reads this who is in the dekalb area should come too. i haven't actually seen my brother in about 4 and 1/2 months! geez!
also, i bought a much needed "grandpa" scarf. it is so rad. everyone needs atleast one grandpa scarf.
in addition, i put up a new userpic. if you read it carefully you will notice how obsurd it is.
current mood:  calm
current music: a mix cd jay made for me, and the song he taught me to play

i don't want to go to the metal studio tonite. i would rather barf!
these past two weeks have sucked. i've been so freakin busy with school work and i'm still behind somehow. how does this happen? i've been researching the holocaust for my project and i am constantly feeling naseous from looking at pics and reading stories to try to get some ideas. all in the name of art. everyone really likes my ring idea. i am very very excited about that, but i still need to figure things out about it. hmmm, what else is new? i really hate the people in my relief class (except the teacher, he rocks). they are all a bunch of idiots.
but thankfully this year i do not have a stressful apartment. infact it minimizes my stress because we get along so well.
i want something exciting to happen soon! these past few weeks have just been work non stop!!
current mood:  exhausted
current music: sir mix a lot - baby got back!
