i want to follow someone around the country. (alkaline trio?) i want to do something this summer. right now i want to: complete housing forms, mail things, do my homework, do alright in physics. i want to like my new boss who starts on tuesday, but i doubt that's going to happen. i'll forever miss any and all previous bosses. i want to keep in touch with them. i want to get my ears pierced and hair dyed and go to college looking like i'm about to start something new. college. kaufman completed her housing forms and it's looking like it's going to be me, her and someone new. i'm so excited. to not go at it alone. i'll have so many people that i really, really care about there with me. i feel like i'm going to be living the song "olympia, wa" that was on that rancid/nofx split.

five recent mixes.

1. goodbye, goodbye.

2. so you want to be a lion?

3. can you dig it!

4. i can't believe i forgot HWM.

5. front porch songs.

i have given up on all capital letters. it's not me and it never was, so who was i trying to fool? ha. i'm annoying at the fact that i keep putting off my physics problem set (and it's the only class i get homework in). well, i'm not really annoyed at this, but rather annoying that i'm losing sleep over it. i just really like my teacher and would hate for him to think badly of me. he's the only teacher that i have right now that i can say that about. but for the last few nights it's been incomplete, i've been staying up really late and just thinking about it. the only reason i'm not doing it is because i really don't know how to. somehow, i got a B on the midterm. happy times.. this week has been really beautiful and i've been spending it out all day and night.. which makes me really tired. yet i don't sleep! the great paradox of our time, i guess. today i wrote a poem for the reading tomorrow.  i would post it, but someone that can't read it may read it and think bad things are happening when they really aren't (but sometimes i wish they could!).  sometimes i pride myself on making so much sense that my words are often non-sensical. after the reading, it's going to be like 75 degrees! most likely i'll skip my elan meeting (er, postpone it) to hang out with kelisi and jyo.. then i have to waste my beautiful night at FYE. boo. it wouldn't be so bad (or bad at all) if i didn't have to wear that damn uniform. seriously. tonight i also finished my painting for jb and completed a mix for belsky. awesome.. but i still haven't done my physics homework. i also have to send letters out to: dann, matt, ingo. on saturday, after i make the trip up to trader joe's to get stuff to send to all those boys (minus ingo.. he only gets a cd). final thoughts: tonight kelly and i saw prom night and we were the only ones in the theatre. scary shit! she also got a haircut, which motivated me to make an appointment.

Five Best Driving Driving In The Rain At Night Songs

1. 'You Don't Know Me', Michael Buble

2. 'Lua', Bright Eyes

3. 'Sorry About That', Alkaline Trio

4. 'Incident on 57th Street', Bruce Springsteen

5. 'Hold On', Tom Waits

It's currently monsooning outside and I wish I were at the Alesi house on their porch, but I'm happy to be home.  I didn't go home after school today.  I had dress clothes in my weekend bag.  I find myself packing 'weekend bags' because I'm usually hopping around all weekend.  But anyway, from my after school errands, I picked up Danny and we drove to Bryan's.  We spent the majority of the time and the majority of my gas tank cruising around downtown Washington listening to death metal and Slayer.  Yep.  At one stop light, this car full of meathead boys were like "YO, COME FOLLOW USSSS."  So I did for about a block, then we all went back to Bryan's and jammed in his basement.  Well, I watched.  I did play the drums for three seconds, though.  After Bryan's I hung out at Annie's for a little bit.  Zach had left already, so we just chilled.  It was good, except I was still in dressy clothes.  Boo.

I drove home in the RAIN and it was awesome, except my windshield wipers are sort of effed up.  I came home and there were strange cars in my driveway.  Dennis had some of his friends over and none of them were gone.. Usually when they come over they're gone by ten because they're old men who go to sleep at eleven.  So them being there at midnight was weird.  But anyway, there were in my basement and it was uncomfortable.  I was introduced and disappeared into my sleeping quarters, which are still in the basement so I could hear them talking and stuff.

Today was Chen's birthday and I made some sweet cupcakes with 'Happy Birthday' written on them in Chinese.  That was the highlight of the day, I think.  From what I can recall.  I'm in sort of a sleepy akljsdlsakj right now.  I'm going to two parties tomorrow, a show on Sunday and then I have finals Monday and Tuesday and then the fourth quarter will start and I'll graduate.

Cool.  Oh, also, I feel like a jerk.  And I meant to say that Coyote Ugly is truly one of the lamest movies I've ever seen.  Ever.

Five Reasons For Lack Of Updates.

1. Good weather!  Adventures every day.

2. Trying not to fail these final few classes.

3. The Lit Mag must be done for printing by the 18th.

4. Memorizing the new CR album.

5. Tons of new music, in general.

This week I spent too much money on music.  I bought things like: The Gaslight Anthem, Slapstick, Minor Threat, Black Flag, The Adolescents, some AM! vinyl, Whole Wheat Bread, Lemonheads and I finally completed the Face to Face discography.  Sweet.  Life has been exciting and full of wonderful weather.  I'm mentally done with all things school.  I'm going out in a few minutes and not coming home until after dark.  Nice.  Tomorrow I'm sleeping at the Belmar house, followed by working Saturday until 9:30, then a good party at JM's house which includes foozball and fondue.  Today during Elan I learned that Scotty B., aside from wanting to grow up and be a book, had a labret piercing and peroxide blonde hair that was later dyed blue.

Crazy.
