bright eyes - nothing gets crossed out

we drew on my shoes. they're even more colorful now than ever before. i just wish the shoes themselves were in good condition.

sublime - april 26, 1992


"at least i can cry, you heartless demon!!"
"was that the grandma that groped me?" diet coke out the nose with that one.
cool moment: driving around, all three of us singing sublime's caress me down. not knowing the spanish and still trying to sing it anyway.

garbage - stupid girl

i'm looking forward to taking osc next year. i don't know when i'll hear back if i'm in or not... hopefully it'll be soon... i want to learn to cook. i made tacos tonight, and i realized that i really want to learn to make things other than, well, tacos and boxed pastas.

lagwagon - may 16

walking toward the weight room, i ran into donovan and heard a hilarious piece of, well, gossip. but i laughed my ass off, donny and i are feeling good, and weight training was fun. especially the running part - i almost wished he was serious about the running to dq thing.
after school i got to drive jon home and talk to him for a little longer than i usually get to on school days. but i guess i can't do that every day. get this: i have to share him with his friends! bullshit, i say.
so it was beautiful. gorgeous. sunny with a slight breeze, warm and perfect for being outside. i went to cole's. =) we walked in the sunshine and went on the swings at the park. we sat in his room and watched requiem for a dream (freaky movie. very cool.) and then i came home and no one knows, so no one cares.
cool things i got today: free dollar. bottle cap showing a squirrel with an ice cream cone. another jones label.
do you know they have jones soda that's not soda? it's like sobe. non carbonated. very good. bigger bottle too.

crosby, stills, nash and young - woodstock

i went through rob's cd case at work... if you could judge a person based simply on their taste in music, i'd say rob is the most perfect, fantastic, wonderful guy around. incapable of doing any wrong. now, in reality, rob's an asshole. funny and never serious, but in the asshole kind of way. he's cool, but it'd be hard to get to know the guy.
my mom and i watched gilmore girls together for the first time since... well, pretty much since school started again. we were watching, laughing, arguing about different parts, discussing character traits and musing over certain plot developements. i love getting along with her like that.
i really need to get away from here, though. brent was just telling me about how he spent 420 - jumping on rocks in a river surrounded by waterfalls. it doesn't get much more perfect than that, does it? maybe western wouldn't be so bad. maybe i can find some antidepressants and take them with me for the wintertime.
i think i'm going to put my nail polish remover into a new bottle. like, say, one of the jones soda bottles sitting around my room. that way there'll be less chance of someone taking a swig of my "root beer".

breaking benjamin - polyamorous

pieces of april. a beautiful and touching movie about a girl who attempts to reunite herself with her family on thanksgiving. i think it was one of the top ten independant films of the year. but whether it was or not, i highly recommend picking it up - i'll be going out to buy it as soon as my paycheck comes this week.
i've been drinking tea like a savage since saturday. i love the stuff, i'm completely hooked now. i just got a couple different boxes of tea samplers so i can start myself off with a selection, figure out what i like best. so far, peach black tea is magnificent. english morning black tea was nice with waffles. and peppermint green tea is just like any old chinese restraunt tea - wonderful.
right. and the reason i brought this up is because today i mentioned it to stephanie, and she told me all about how anorexics will eat only lettuce and drink only tea and then their body starts to smell bad because they're basically decaying (?) i think it's from the combination of starving themselves, though, but who knows, maybe tea does make your body smell? so if i start to smell funny, let me know. i'll switch back to coffee.
so now i'm going to watch cookie's fortune, another movie i picked up. if i return them both tomorrow, we get one dollar off the rental.

coheed and cambria - time consumer

today, i learned that winco doesn't take credit cards. i felt like an ass, standing there with all those groceries and shrugging, "sorry, i don't have a debit card." walking away. the dog food that was supposed to replace the empty bag in the garage, the fruit for my mom, cereal for breakfast. walking into the house and seeing we're out of milk, still, we have no bread, still, and there's not even any frozen foods to fall back on. and like hell i'm going back out tonight to fill a cart with the exact same shit i already tried to buy. tomorrow, maybe. but i'm pissed off and embarassed and i don't like grocery stores very much right now.
oh, and i picked up a book from the library about some back-woods canadian teenager. so i'm talking and thinking like an asshole hick. it's kind of fun. and funny, too, since i'm sitting here drinking my tea and feeling refined and sophisticated, while thinking things like "it was a fucking parable. christ."
