deathcab for cutie - for what reason

whiskey burns like a bitch.
okay so if i ask really really super nicely, i can go to my cousin's for the fourth! another bonfire baby! oh yeah.
i spent a huge part of the day with my dad. we saw spiderman 2, then went out for lunch and went shopping at costco. we talked and argued and i made myself a pain in the ass. while eating, i started out trying to eat tiny little bites of pizza with a fork (took too long) and then switched to just readjusting the food in my mouth with my finger. not one weird look. not one raised eyebrow. no mention of my weird behavior, as well as my new retard-o talk. and every time scott's talking to my mom or dad, i stand behind them and wiggle my tongue out. you should see his face. it's so hard for him to not laugh. anyway. basically i can't get over this thing, it is so awesome. ahh, i have a tongue piercing!
the other day in shoreline, while we were driving around stoned and listening to deathcab, annie was talking about how it was like being in a music video. one of those emo ones. and that image has been stuck in my mind ever since. i drove around for about an hour in auburn trying to find the auto shop i was supposed to pick my dad up at. i didn't have my cell phone, so it was really really hard. anyway, i had the windows down, as usual, and the music blasting. and it just feels so.. surreal. the music puts me in this frame of mind like life is beautiful, but also hopeless at the same time. the whole beater buick really adds to the effect (you should see it. it's cased in dirt.) it's depressing and uplifting at the same time.

flaming lips - the spark that bled

whoa baby so things have happened since the last update. nothing quite so earth shattering as i want to make it sound, but i had an awesome time up in shoreline yesterday.
me 'n cole drove around for a while, went down to seattle and stuff to look around at the shops... he showed me the body piercing place that he and all his friends go to, i met curtis the piercing man, got my tongue pierced. cole took a picture so once i get it developed you'll see. then later there was a bonfire down at the beach, met chelsey and annie again, we toked up at the friendship fort they'd built earlier that day. smashed a glass bottle of listerine i accidently left on top of my car. back at cole's we watched invader zim and snacked on munchie grub, and eventually fell asleep on his bed.
early this-a morning i was awoken by coley's mom, who was bringing in fresh laundry. so up i got and waited around for cole's mom, drove her to the bank and headed home.. picked up the flaming lips' soft bulletin cd on the way and some soup, and here i am! trying vainly to clean/arrange my room. i think i'm making it worse.

eve 6 - inside out

blah day, awesome day, stupid day, embarassing and hilarious and adventurous and boring. all rolled into one giant combo meal!
but no, there were so many parts, like when i was driving around, i was happy and lonely. then at home when i felt sad and empty and worthless, and then at work when i was excited and frustrated, and before when i'd been embarassed but hopeful. then after when i was happy but... well, again, lonely.
cole, asking how the sex life's been. i don't care so much about the sex life, but i haven't really gotten close to anyone, boy or girl, for a while now. relationships with friends i've known forever are cool, but sometimes things need to be mixed up.
anyway, while i was watching nip/tuck at jamie's, she told this great story about when the drag races got busted, and she had to jump through the window of a car to get away. silly girl.

melee - the war

oh what a day. while sarah and i were driving back on I-5, we both experienced the weirdest feeling of disorientation... now if it had just been me, i would've said i was tired of driving, i was exhausted from a long day, whatever. but both of us were convinced we had never been on that stretch of road before, that there was no way we could be on I-5 southbound, despite the signs. bullwinkle's was gone, so was the hotel, and the entire landscape had been changed. but the view of mount rainier was beautiful, the shadows from the cars stretched on forever, and the sky was bright gold and pink. gorgeous.
oh what a day of shopping it was, though. 6 hours. and wednesday, we have to take the wig back and buy a new one, plus we still need the fishnets. but! good news! i found an awesome store (forgot the name already) that tuey will absolutely flip over when she sees it. broadway is the best place to shop. everyone, go there, buy clothes on broadway.

coheed and cambria - time consumer

"wait, now, here when will you believe?
me i'm merely asking you to help me when did i say to murder?
wait, now, here, please hear me out
time consumer, time consuming, consume me"
urgh. tired feet hurt headache feel dirty bored nothing to do. these are my complaints for the day.

everclear - heroin girl

"i used to know a girl, she had two pierced nipples and a black tattoo..."
right right, so friday. i hung out with my mom in the morning time, we watched a chick flick together. then tuey called me up and we went off to play at the supermall. we saw brandon for a short while on his lunch break, we ate his mcdonald's fries and then we went through black top hell to find mcdonald's food of our own. and let me tell you, the mcD's by the supermall is amazing! the inside is all clean and colorful, and the "back room" is one giant comic on the walls.
later on in the evening, we were going to watch fahrenheit 9/11 with brent, but when we got to auburn... damn... it was packed. and sold out. so we took brent home and we were going to call up my ex, who's dealing drugs now, but he'd left and we couldn't track him down, so we turned to terry. we would've gone and smoked with brandon, but stupid luke didn't want us around, so tuey got angry and hung up and we got terry to buy us beers. hangin' out at terry's is fun stuff, let me tell you. good ol' kyle with the lime green mohawk, renee is the craziest and coolest person in the world, and erica was pretty awesome too, it's weird that i know her (but i don't.) so we played crazy 8's and we smoke cigarettes and talked outside and ran and hid in terry's room when the cop showed up.
eventually we made it home and fell asleep, only to wake up again at 7 (shit if i know why!) we went breakfast food shopping and basically bummed around for 4 hours, but then i had to go to work, which was nothing special. and then i came home and slept. and then i saw fahrenheit 9/11 with brent.
oh and one last thing! i'm going to see jessika this summer! yesss~! now i just need to figure out when i can make it down to elaina's.
