2,581,876 | female | 24 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 14,July,2004 | Alta Pete: Aim High to hit the center... three quatrains, and a concluding couplet abab cdcd efef gg go back to thee: Sonnet 147 by Shakespeare (c. 1603) My love is as a fever, longing still For that which longer nurseth the disease, Feeding on that which doth preserve the ill. Th'uncertain sickly appetite to please: My reason, the physician to my love, Angry that his prescriptions are not kept, Hath left me, and I, desperate, now approve Desire is death, which physic did except. Past cure I am, now reason is past care, And frantic mad with ever more unrest; My thoughts and my discourse as madmen's are, At random from the truth vainly expressed: For I have sworn thee fair, and though thee bright, Who art as black as hell, as dark as night. (Almost there for that Yeats' essay: 'Until I Die: Consummation of Love Only After Death in W.B. Yeats' Early Poems' February 1003 by A.V. for Prof. Sue Laver) Now, from Austen's _Pride and Prejudice_: Shakespeare's Sonnet 116 (overlooking Dover...right into the sea...) Let me not to the marriage of true minds Admit impediments; love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds, Or bends with the remover to remove. O no, it is an ever-fixed mark, That looks on tempests and is never shaken; It is the star to every wand'ring bark, Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken. Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks Within his bending sickle's compass comel Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, But bears it out even to the edge of doom. If this be error and upon me proved, I never writ, nor no man ever loved. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Love does not exist except in the words of sonnets such as these. It is created by artists because only artists can truly conceive... |

(or am i hallucinating?)--it said on her crimpled piece of paper): she sounded completely confused. 1-514 or not, i got rid of her. she was cute, though. did i say that before? long blond hair, slim, and confused. then, as i entered Eaton Center, this East Asian dude, who was wandering around with his white friend, apologized to me like five times for running into to me, in an American accent. what a tactic! he didn't even run into me--it was some old man who got it... anyway, he asked me where to cut his hair...he said somewhere on this floor...yeah, same place i was going. when i started walking quickly, he was like: 'why do women have to walk so fast? please slow down.' he was a trip. so, at the salon where i might get hiv, hepatitis and a host of other diseases, all of the four Vietnamese women were busy working on Caucasian, African Canadian, French Canadian, Arabic, Italian, Jewish nails. It was a real multicultural scene. Haha. Then, i met Nadia. A new one. We talked only in French. She kept asking me what color she should use on her mile long fake nails (hands, not feet.) She was really cute with her almond brown eyes, tan skin with a pink glow on her cheeks (or was that make-up), great bra or..., came from St. Eustache, told me she was 20 and dating this hot Lebanese guy who only wanted to marry a virgin (a problem in both our cases, hah) and wanted her to look great 24/7. She also admitted that she never saw him without her blue contact lenses. She was like, I think i look ugly without them. Can you help me? I was about to say, go tell this guy to fuck himself. She said he was driving her up the walls. No joke? He had forbid her to wear mini skirts, but she admitted that he ogled all the mini-skirted shiksas on St. C.. She was like, never date a Lebanese who is Muslim. I was going to say--you don't have to worry, but why lie? ;) I'd be great with my virginal spirit... Anyway, what can you do but be a slave--or use a whip? When she left, we kissed the Montreal way (her idea) and she said: see you next time. How many times do I go...?

3,857,088 | male | 37 | LawEnforcement-Security | Aquarius | 04,August,2004 | 'Theft of the Presidency' BBC-TV Newsnight Thursday, February 15, 2001 by Greg Palast GREG PALAST: Washington, the marine band plays 'Hail to the Chief' for George W Bush, 43rd President of the United States. But in Florida, some are singing 'Hail to the Thief'. COUNTRY SONG: After hundreds of liesFake alibis PALAST: We are coming into Tallahassee. We want to know whether George W Bush won the election or did brother Jeb steal it for him? Our investigation suggest the answer lies in this shuttered building and in a very expensive contract between Governor Jeb's division of elections and a private company named DBT, which accidentally wiped off the voter rolls thousands of Democratic voters. 18th floor division of elections, we have come to ask Mr Clayton Roberts, the director, a few questions. Roberts agreed to talk, but became a bit uncomfortable when he learned that we had obtained the secret DBT contract, and asked him if he knew what DBT were up to. CLAYTON ROBERTS: Florida Director of Elections No, I didn't ask DBT. They do what we contract them to do. We have a statute that says we have to have a private company to do this. We put it out for bid, we put it out for bid, and I think I'm done with this interview. PALAST: Let me just show you the contract if I could Mr Roberts. It says here in the contract that the verification is supposed to be done by DBT. That you paid them $4 million. It could look to others don't you think that you paid $4 million to purchase this election for the Republican party. 95% wrong on the felon list. Mr. Roberts, could you answer the question regarding the contract... Instead, Mr Roberts called out State troopers. It's interesting here? STATE TROOPER: Oh, man! Never a dull moment. PALAST: I don't know why he had to call the police. We hadn't gotten to our difficult questions yet! The difficult questions are: Did Governor Jeb Bush, his Secretary of State Katherine Harris, and her Director of Elections, Clayton Roberts, know they had wrongly barred 22,000 black, Democrat voters before the elections? After the elections did they use their powers to prevent the count of 20,000 votes for the Democrats? The Democrats say the answers to both questions are yes. COMMISSIONER: In any other country in the world, if this had occurred, there probably would have been riots or military troops throughout the streets. PARTY CHAIRMAN: Al Gore won the election. He won the popular vote and he won the vote in Florida. I think that that's pretty clear. VOTER: It wasn't done fairly. They shouldn't allow you to contest an election then give you no way to contest it. LEGISLATOR: Jeb Bush promised his brother he was going to deliver Florida. I believe the Republicans strategy was at all costs we deliver Florida. CAMPAIGNER: Were people taken out of polls and stopped from voting? Yes, I think that was not right. I smell a rat! PALAST: This is Database Technologies. This is the company that the state of Florida hired to remove the names of people who committed serious crimes from the voter lists. I have obtained a document marked 'confidential and trade secret'. It says the company was paid millions of dollars to make telephone calls to verify they got the right names - but they didn't. There is nothing in the state of Florida files that says they made these telephone calls. So the question remains, why did the Republican leaders of this state pay millions for a list that stopped thousands of innocent Democrats from voting? The first list from DBT included 8,000 names from Texas supplied by George Bush's state officials. They said they were all felons, serious criminals barred from voting. As it turns out, almost none were. Local officials raised a ruckus and DBT issued a new list naming 58,000 felons. But the one county which went through the whole expensive process of checking the new list name by name found it was still 95% wrong. Reverend Willie Whiting was one of those removed from voter roles after DBT wrongly labelled him a serious criminal. REVEREND WILLIE WHITING: I have never spent a night in jail. PALAST: Were you ever busted? WHITING: No. I had a speeding ticket probably 25-30 years ago, I guess, but that's about it. PALAST: Do you think you should be allowed to vote if you had a speeding ticket? WHITING: Absolutely. PALAST: The Florida legislature likes to see young prisoners paraded in front of the capital in old cavalry uniforms. PRISON GUARD: Me and superman had a fight PRISONERS: Me and superman had a fight PRISON GUARD: I hit him in the head with some Kryptonite PRISONERS: I hit him in the head with some Kryptonite PALAST: More often than not in America, the prisoner's colour is black. Because of the way DBT generated the list, every genuine black felon in the United States could knock out every black voter in Florida with the same surname and similar date of birth. That's why the NAACP is suing Florida for violating voters' civil rights. LARRY OTTINGER: Lawyer for NAACP Governor Bush, the Secretary of State Katherine Harris, Clayton Roberts, the head of elections, all knew or should have known in advance that certain election policies and practices would disproportionately impact low-income areas, and in particular black citizens and other minority citizens, and that this would disproportionately impact Democratic voters, based on historical voting trends. AL GORE: Thank you, Florida! PALAST: Altogether, it looks like this cost the Democrats about 22,000 votes in Florida, which George Bush won by only 537 votes. The US civil rights commission is also on the trail. They called in Bush, Harris and Roberts. Bush did not convince his critics. UNNAMED MAN: You screwed up this state. You sealed the ballot. PALAST: Commissioner Edley and his colleagues will be in Miami tomorrow to hear from voters wrongly disqualified. DR CHRISTOPHER EDLEY: US Civil Rights Commissioner If you are going to do it, by all means as a matter of due process and fairness, it's got to be done with excruciating care. It's a democracy, the vote counts. There is a lot of public concern that the contractor selected is a firm that seems to have ties to the Republican party. PALAST: They will be putting our evidence to Database Technologies. Their vice-president told us that 'manual verification by telephone calls' does not mean ringing people up to check they have got the right person. So were they paid to produce a list which they knew would name thousands of innocent black people? In fact DBT told Newsnight that Clayton Roberts and the State of Florida: '... wanted there to be more names than were actually verified as being a convicted felon.' So did they use their powers to prevent the count of 20,000 votes for the Democrats? You don't have to be black. In Palm Beach, America's privileged nurse their tans and their anger. UNNAMED WOMAN: I thought I voted for Al Gore but unfortunately I voted for Pat Buchanan, and I wasn't happy about that, because I am a Jewish voter and he would have been the last person in the world I would have voted for. PALAST: Whacky butterfly ballots caused thousands in this Democrat town to accidentally mess up and they were refused replacement ballots promised them by state law. JOANNE CARBONE: From the time the elections started until that awful decision that the Supreme Court made, I came across hundreds of people who made a mistake and I saw over 13,000 complaints filed by people who live in Palm Beach county. PALAST: In all, Palm Beach voting machines misread 27,000 ballots. Jeb Bush's Secretary of State, Katharine Harris, stopped them counting these votes by hand. She did the same to Gadstone, one of Florida's blackest, poorest and most Democrat counties, where machines failed to count one in eight ballots. Again Harris stopped the hand count. This alone cost Gore another 700 votes, in an election in which Harris declared George Bush winner by only 537 votes. KATHARINE HARRIS: In accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, I hereby declare Governor George W Bush the winner of Florida's 25 electoral votes for the President of the United States. PALAST: Harris was a busy woman. In charge of Florida's vote count and co-chair of Bush's presidential campaign. LOIS FRANKEL: Had she really been unbiased? Wouldn't the appropriate actions for her to be to say - let's really get to the bottom of this election and let's make sure every vote is counted. PALAST: Lois Frankel represents Palm Beach, in the State legislature where she leads the Democratic opposition. FRANKEL: She wanted George Bush to win. She interpreted every rule, every law in a way to help George Bush. PALAST: We are driving down to Miami to witness an American ritual. In Britain, you count the votes, then announce the winner. In Florida they declare the winner first and here we are, still counting the votes. WOMAN'S VOICE: She is showing the ballot in front of the light. They can see the light through where the chads have been punched through. Then she holds it in front because sometimes you can see things in different light. They have a whole column. PALAST: Normally these are machine-read, right? UNNAMED WOMAN: Right. PALAST: They are carefully going through the 179,855 uncounted ballots that Harris did not want tallied. They'll know the winner next month. Sources tell Newsnight that Gore's ahead by 20,000 votes. The Biltmore, grandest hotel in Miami. Democrats are upstairs eating with their richest friends charging $5,000 a plate. Let's see if we can get in. Not far away from the millionaires on the balcony a voter had taken hostages at gun point protesting against the election fraud. But here it is back to champagne politics as usual. One Democrat whispered they would have done the same as Katharine Harris if they had the chance. But another, party chairman, Bob Poe remains bitter about this. BOB POE: Chairman, Florida Democrats Jeb Bush, Katharine Harris, Clay Roberts did everything they could to stop every legitimate count of the vote. And that's what did us in. PALAST: All fingers point to the Jeb Bush crew in Tallahassee. Investigators want to breakthrough the iron shutters. EDLEY: I have to say that thus far we have been disappointed by the explanations, or perhaps I should say the lack of explanation provided by the state officials. When we spoke with the Governor and the Secretary of State and even with the Director of the Bureau of Elections underneath the Secretary of State, they were pointing fingers at everybody else, saying 'look it wasn't our responsibility', they were in charge, which is a disheartening disquieting thing for us to hear - who should be held accountable for what clearly was a system that broke down. PALAST: State officials point the finger at the counties and say it is their responsibility to check if the names on the list are real felons before disqualifying them. Clayton Roberts says his job is just to pass on the list. Roberts now admits he didn't bother to check with DBT, if innocent people were on it. ROBERTS: Please turn off that camera. PALAST: Off camera he said: We did not call and say did you check the list again... the whole tenor of this is like OK you screwed up you didn't check with DBT and if you want to hang this on me that's fine. It is certainly fine for George W Bush. Even if investigators conclude that Jeb Bush and the Republicans conspired to steal this election, the man in that house for the next four years will be George W Bush. |
3,857,088 | male | 37 | LawEnforcement-Security | Aquarius | 04,August,2004 | For the Republican lovers ....those uniformed motherf**ker. See the truth, Learn the truth, Start with the link. urlLink http://www.ericblumrich.com/gta.html |
3,857,088 | male | 37 | LawEnforcement-Security | Aquarius | 04,August,2004 | Boston, MA - On behalf of the great state of Illinois, crossroads of a nation, land of Lincoln, let me express my deep gratitude for the privilege of addressing this convention. Tonight is a particular honor for me because, let’s face it, my presence on this stage is pretty unlikely. My father was a foreign student, born and raised in a small village in Kenya. He grew up herding goats, went to school in a tin-roof shack. His father, my grandfather, was a cook, a domestic servant. But my grandfather had larger dreams for his son. Through hard work and perseverance my father got a scholarship to study in a magical place; America which stood as a beacon of freedom and opportunity to so many who had come before. While studying here, my father met my mother. She was born in a town on the other side of the world, in Kansas. Her father worked on oil rigs and farms through most of the Depression. The day after Pearl Harbor he signed up for duty, joined Patton’s army and marched across Europe. Back home, my grandmother raised their baby and went to work on a bomber assembly line. After the war, they studied on the GI Bill, bought a house through FHA, and moved west in search of opportunity. And they, too, had big dreams for their daughter, a common dream, born of two continents. My parents shared not only an improbable love; they shared an abiding faith in the possibilities of this nation. They would give me an African name, Barack, or “blessed,” believing that in a tolerant America your name is no barrier to success. They imagined me going to the best schools in the land, even though they weren’t rich, because in a generous America you don’t have to be rich to achieve your potential. They are both passed away now. Yet, I know that, on this night, they look down on me with pride. I stand here today, grateful for the diversity of my heritage, aware that my parents’ dreams live on in my precious daughters. I stand here knowing that my story is part of the larger American story, that I owe a debt to all of those who came before me, and that, in no other country on earth, is my story even possible. Tonight, we gather to affirm the greatness of our nation, not because of the height of our skyscrapers, or the power of our military, or the size of our economy. Our pride is based on a very simple premise, summed up in a declaration made over two hundred years ago, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal. That they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights. That among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” That is the true genius of America, a faith in the simple dreams of its people, the insistence on small miracles. That we can tuck in our children at night and know they are fed and clothed and safe from harm. That we can say what we think, write what we think, without hearing a sudden knock on the door. That we can have an idea and start our own business without paying a bribe or hiring somebody’s son. That we can participate in the political process without fear of retribution, and that our votes will be counted—or at least, most of the time. This year, in this election, we are called to reaffirm our values and commitments, to hold them against a hard reality and see how we are measuring up, to the legacy of our forbearers, and the promise of future generations. And fellow Americans—Democrats, Republicans, Independents—I say to you tonight: we have more work to do. More to do for the workers I met in Galesburg, Illinois, who are losing their union jobs at the Maytag plant that’s moving to Mexico, and now are having to compete with their own children for jobs that pay seven bucks an hour. More to do for the father I met who was losing his job and choking back tears, wondering how he would pay $4,500 a month for the drugs his son needs without the health benefits he counted on. More to do for the young woman in East St. Louis, and thousands more like her, who has the grades, has the drive, has the will, but doesn’t have the money to go to college. Don’t get me wrong. The people I meet in small towns and big cities, in diners and office parks, they don’t expect government to solve all their problems. They know they have to work hard to get ahead and they want to. Go into the collar counties around Chicago, and people will tell you they don’t want their tax money wasted by a welfare agency or the Pentagon. Go into any inner city neighborhood, and folks will tell you that government alone can’t teach kids to learn. They know that parents have to parent, that children can’t achieve unless we raise their expectations and turn off the television sets and eradicate the slander that says a black youth with a book is acting white. No, people don’t expect government to solve all their problems. But they sense, deep in their bones, that with just a change in priorities, we can make sure that every child in America has a decent shot at life, and that the doors of opportunity remain open to all. They know we can do better. And they want that choice. In this election, we offer that choice. Our party has chosen a man to lead us who embodies the best this country has to offer. That man is John Kerry. John Kerry understands the ideals of community, faith, and sacrifice, because they’ve defined his life. From his heroic service in Vietnam to his years as prosecutor and lieutenant governor, through two decades in the United States Senate, he has devoted himself to this country. Again and again, we’ve seen him make tough choices when easier ones were available. His values and his record affirm what is best in us. John Kerry believes in an America where hard work is rewarded. So instead of offering tax breaks to companies shipping jobs overseas, he’ll offer them to companies creating jobs here at home. John Kerry believes in an America where all Americans can afford the same health coverage our politicians in Washington have for themselves. John Kerry believes in energy independence, so we aren’t held hostage to the profits of oil companies or the sabotage of foreign oil fields. John Kerry believes in the constitutional freedoms that have made our country the envy of the world, and he will never sacrifice our basic liberties nor use faith as a wedge to divide us. And John Kerry believes that in a dangerous world, war must be an option, but it should never be the first option. A while back, I met a young man named Shamus at the VFW Hall in East Moline, Illinois. He was a good-looking kid, six-two or six-three, clear eyed, with an easy smile. He told me he’d joined the Marines and was heading to Iraq the following week. As I listened to him explain why he’d enlisted, his absolute faith in our country and its leaders, his devotion to duty and service, I thought this young man was all any of us might hope for in a child. But then I asked myself: Are we serving Shamus as well as he was serving us? I thought of more than 900 service men and women, sons and daughters, husbands and wives, friends and neighbors, who will not be returning to their hometowns. I thought of families I had met who were struggling to get by without a loved one’s full income, or whose loved ones had returned with a limb missing or with nerves shattered, but who still lacked long-term health benefits because they were reservists. When we send our young men and women into harm’s way, we have a solemn obligation not to fudge the numbers or shade the truth about why they’re going, to care for their families while they’re gone, to tend to the soldiers upon their return, and to never ever go to war without enough troops to win the war, secure the peace, and earn the respect of the world. Now let me be clear. We have real enemies in the world. These enemies must be found. They must be pursued and they must be defeated. John Kerry knows this. And just as Lieutenant Kerry did not hesitate to risk his life to protect the men who served with him in Vietnam, President Kerry will not hesitate one moment to use our military might to keep America safe and secure. John Kerry believes in America. And he knows it’s not enough for just some of us to prosper. For alongside our famous individualism, there’s another ingredient in the American saga. A belief that we are connected as one people. If there’s a child on the south side of Chicago who can’t read, that matters to me, even if it’s not my child. If there’s a senior citizen somewhere who can’t pay for her prescription and has to choose between medicine and the rent, that makes my life poorer, even if it’s not my grandmother. If there’s an Arab American family being rounded up without benefit of an attorney or due process, that threatens my civil liberties. It’s that fundamental belief—I am my brother’s keeper, I am my sisters’ keeper—that makes this country work. It’s what allows us to pursue our individual dreams, yet still come together as a single American family. “E pluribus unum.” Out of many, one. Yet even as we speak, there are those who are preparing to divide us, the spin masters and negative ad peddlers who embrace the politics of anything goes. Well, I say to them tonight, there’s not a liberal America and a conservative America—there’s the United States of America. There’s not a black America and white America and Latino America and Asian America; there’s the United States of America. The pundits like to slice-and-dice our country into Red States and Blue States; Red States for Republicans, Blue States for Democrats. But I’ve got news for them, too. We worship an awesome God in the Blue States, and we don’t like federal agents poking around our libraries in the Red States. We coach Little League in the Blue States and have gay friends in the Red States. There are patriots who opposed the war in Iraq and patriots who supported it. We are one people, all of us pledging allegiance to the stars and stripes, all of us defending the United States of America. In the end, that’s what this election is about. Do we participate in a politics of cynicism or a politics of hope? John Kerry calls on us to hope. John Edwards calls on us to hope. I’m not talking about blind optimism here—the almost willful ignorance that thinks unemployment will go away if we just don’t talk about it, or the health care crisis will solve itself if we just ignore it. No, I’m talking about something more substantial. It’s the hope of slaves sitting around a fire singing freedom songs; the hope of immigrants setting out for distant shores; the hope of a young naval lieutenant bravely patrolling the Mekong Delta; the hope of a millworker’s son who dares to defy the odds; the hope of a skinny kid with a funny name who believes that America has a place for him, too. The audacity of hope! In the end, that is God’s greatest gift to us, the bedrock of this nation; the belief in things not seen; the belief that there are better days ahead. I believe we can give our middle class relief and provide working families with a road to opportunity. I believe we can provide jobs to the jobless, homes to the homeless, and reclaim young people in cities across America from violence and despair. I believe that as we stand on the crossroads of history, we can make the right choices, and meet the challenges that face us. America! Tonight, if you feel the same energy I do, the same urgency I do, the same passion I do, the same hopefulness I do—if we do what we must do, then I have no doubt that all across the country, from Florida to Oregon, from Washington to Maine, the people will rise up in November, and John Kerry will be sworn in as president, and John Edwards will be sworn in as vice president, and this country will reclaim its promise, and out of this long political darkness a brighter day will come. Thank you and God bless you. |
3,749,504 | female | 17 | Student | Pisces | 25,June,2004 | About 1:30, on my television, the screen went blank. And an emergency broadcast began for a flash flood warning for Prineville. Oh, shit , I thought, since Mom was out doing errands and Chris was at work and who the heck knows where Christopher was. The warning was for '1:30-3:30' but nothing happened until three thirty . I had just gotten out of a shower and dressed up in my lovely black leather boots and courderoy jacket to go out. About thirty seconds later, the sky goes dark. The power goes out. It starts raining. I mean, it starts RAINING. There were torrents coming down, it was so bad I thought maybe our cat had drowned outside. I ventured out in a tank-top, through the backyard and the front yard, looking for a trace sign of Tazz. I yelled. I screamed. I couldn't hear myself yell or scream. I was soaked. You could barely see anything beyond the sheets of water pouring down from the heavens. Mom left my Camry's window down, how stupid, and she went out to roll it up. I myself rescued the Jeep windows. The power was out for approximately 4 hours. In an attempt to block out this potential scar, I am currently listening to my favorite hard-rock station, full-blast. I think the neighbor's yard is barking in protest. It wasn't that bad - I mean, I am not a high-maintenance person who needs a hair curler and blow-dryer and T.V. every hour and everything else girly-girls entail, but I really missed my music. And about half way through I got this huge craving to play FF. That sucked. But it was fun...I mostly read National Geographic. And I just found out it was only our block whose electricity went out. Fux0rz to the company. Damn. |
3,749,504 | female | 17 | Student | Pisces | 25,June,2004 | Have I bitched yet about how much I hate phones? I do. I was trying to get ahold of Chelsea, to ask if she wants to go to a movie tonight. Well, a while ago her family decided to get rid of their landline and switched to having only cell phones. So from previous experience, I know the number in the phone book is “out of order.” She gave me her new numbers but, idiot that I am, I lost them. So I looked up Ashley’s phone number (it’s crazy, I have absolutely none of my friend’s phone numbers written down) but it’s not in any phone book. So I look up Roxie’s number and call her. Answering machine. She never picks up because she has caller ID and my number doesn’t show up, so she thinks it’s a telemarketer. I hate leaving messages, so I don’t. And I call Jayne. She doesn’t have Chelsea’s, but she has Ash’s. So I call the number she gives me – and I get an answering machine that says this is the home of the “Bobs” or something like that. I didn’t catch it, but I was pretty sure it wasn’t “Bernard” he said. So I call Alysia. Doesn’t have Chelsea’s number, but has Ashley’s. Guess what, it’s the same one Jayne gave me! So I call the number back, and it’s busy. I call about four more times until she picks up and gives me Chelsea’s number… And nobody answers. I hate phones. But today’s experience inspired me to look up/find every single one of my friend’s numbers and print them out to hang on my bulletin board. Everyone’s but Dorene’s, Amy’s and Molly’s, because I probably will never need to call them and besides, Amy is staying in Seattle all summer. Sorry to bore you with this inconsistent crap…but, if you haven’t noticed, my life is made out of inconsistent crap. I wish I was wittier and could make the whole thing a big joke, but I’m afraid it already is (?). My mother forgot to call Aunt Tonia so if we do go to Ashland, it won’t be for another few days. Too bad…I need my tri-monthly dose of Crazy Marilyn. Heh. |
3,749,504 | female | 17 | Student | Pisces | 25,June,2004 | It's eight though, two more hours to go until, er, go-time. Yep. The other night I spent outside, looking at stars with my binoculars and book and flashlight. I need a red-light pen, though, to help my eyes adjust so I can see the stars better. So I saw Vega (easiest star to spot lately...), Draco (Drako? whatever.), and all the easy-amateur ones. Quite beautiful, its been so clear lately. For *some* reason, I have been thinking a lot on what Ashley said, and I realize it's never gonna happen. As much as I love Zach, it can't be more than a friendship (and he knows it, too). Even if she thinks we should be together. Hah. I hope he's having fun working at the golf course, with the sanitation problem they've been having (you can smell it from the library). Ok, so, my brother's trial is tomorrow. Hopefully he does well, and they dismiss it, but I doubt they will. Stupid ass. How he could get caught with that thing in his hand, when he says he didn't make it...what a loser. Also, his lawyer makes $200 an hour, which is big money around here for a lawyer (she's the best in the area). Who else is totally disgusted by the fact that Colin Farrel is a father? Poor children. Feel worst for them than I do Michael Jackson's kids... |
3,749,504 | female | 17 | Student | Pisces | 25,June,2004 | She still won't reply to me, which pisses me off. But I guess if she continues to ignore me, I can just kiss her ass goodbye, which might be a relief. Plus, Zach is on vacation, so he hasn't e-mailed me lately. I miss him immensely. It's hard to find good people online that you can talk to. I certainly haven't in years, if you don't count Dane, who isn't fun to talk to anyways, and I just put up with him because we go to the same school. So I want to make some 'new friends' to chat with, because I'm pretty lonely when I'm online now. I mean, She is gone, perhaps forever, and all of my old best online friends are never on any more. |
3,749,504 | female | 17 | Student | Pisces | 25,June,2004 | Just got finished painting the cabinet doors in the new garage. 19 doors...10 cabinets. The first coat was white primer and the second coat was semi-gloss black (I shall have to do a second coat of the black :X). They are pretty, pretty pretty. I haven't written anything in Bullfrog for a long time (well, a few weeks, possibly), which is a bad thing. A very bad thing. To keep up with my schedule, I must write approximately three pages a day. Not gonna happen, sadly. I really should get together with Chelsea this weekend. I mean, my family will be going away soon. Possibly Ashland this Tuesday, and Seattle (with my friends, not family) in the middle of August, and Berkeley (with possibly mom and Mary) the first week of August. Lots of traveling...and that doesn't even allude to the possibility of our annual coast vacation, which we may yet go on. Who knows what the future holds? I don't, Mr. Spock. |
3,749,504 | female | 17 | Student | Pisces | 25,June,2004 | I have joined the Blogger community...I used to have a blurty but...yes, long story. Hah. So a bit about myself - I love history. I'm 17 years old, going to be a high school senior next fall. When I go to college, I'm going to major in history / political science. I love reading, writing, playing video games, going to the theater, soccer, swimming, blahblah...flamingoes. I do love flamingoes. So, I am off to find some decent people on this site (I certainly hope you people aren't as wonderfully dull as the people at Blurty, especially the ones who are on happy drugs and have three kids and are 16). |
3,749,504 | female | 17 | Student | Pisces | 25,June,2004 | Reminds me of childhood memories... I don't care what anyone says; the Guns N' Roses version is by far the best. Sheryl Crow's is the only decent cover out there, but it falls short of the original. I love this song, Sweet Child O' Mine. Anyway...just checking in so you know I'm alive and all :D Work sucked. My boss hates me, I swear. I hate the manager, but at least Val is NICE to me. Beth, the owner, really isn't that cordial to me. When she sees me she never says 'Hi' or 'How's it going?' or anything decent, like a normal grownup (you know, those questions that you hate but once they leave you miss...). She made me re-do a ton of things in the rooms, MOSTLY stuff that the other worker did. She's new, and didn't put any coffee cups in any of the rooms. And she didn't wash a couple of fridges...and etc...but I had to do it. The stuff I forgot was only in about three rooms, and it was always the soap dish. I'M NOT EVEN AS TALL AS THE DAMN SOAP DISHES, how the fuck am I supposed to see over them to check if they're dirty? Beth has an advantage, she's like 5'8' or so. I'm a measly 5'4'. I'm totally serious...I cannot see over the soap dishes. Why anyone crafted the soap dishes so high, I shall never know. What if a kid taking a shower reaches up to grab the soap and can barely reach it and he smacks it accidentally and it flies in the shower and lands on the floor and he steps on it and breaks his back? I'd like to see the soap dish construction worker then. I'm scheduled for ten days next month! The only advantage is that I get all the vacation time I need to go to Berk and Seattle, possibly even Ashland (a five day trip to each would be very easy to schedule). But that's approximately 25 hours next month, which is ten hours less than I have worked in the past two weeks . It's obvious that they think I'm a crap worker. Pretty ironic since the new girl is scheduled almost every day, is slower than I am, and made a ton of mistakes I was blamed for. I like her though. But they shouldn't treat her any different than me just because this is my first paying job (I've worked about ten volunteer jobs over the past five years) and she's worked at, wh00t-de-doo, Best Western and a couple of golf courses cleaning. But I don't mean to sound bitter :) Oh yea - changed the layout in a vain attempt to make my own. Sucks. I can't work with this system - I had it all figured out with the other journal. Arg. Well, it made my linkies disappear. I shall have them up soon, when I get it in my head not to be so lazy any more... Well, off to the fair! Should be great fun. |
3,749,504 | female | 17 | Student | Pisces | 25,June,2004 | I feel like a bum...a rushed, working bum. I can't muster the energy to exersize and I'm at a loss on my assignments. Work is horrid, relationships suck, and hole generated by the calories I burn at my job is immediately filled when I indulge myself in a three-dollar heath icerage afterwards. I need to call Ash but I'm on the depths of despair. I'm at the beginning of a long mood swing, a great bout of depression I haven't experienced in over seven months. I've had almost-longings of old friends, but thankfully haven't sunk so low to try to rekindle anything. Aloof and astute, that's me...or is it? I HATE my depression. It comes at me in a rush, taking me by surprise (although in my subconscious I know it is inevitable) and leading me to a special hell reserved for my mind and body. A constant loathing of one's self, bitter hatred concerning one's body, occasional suicidal thoughts (none so far, this time) and a nightmarish feeling that every person is criticizing me all the time. This happens way too much. I hate it. I don't know if any words I give allusion to can represent these feelings as accurate as I would like. I read recently an article about silver amalgam tooth fillings consisting of half-mercury, a horribly dangerous neurotoxin, which leak mercury into your bloodstream and consequently your brain all the time (look it up if you don't believe me). 90% of people, after getting their silver fillings removed, never experienced depression again. I wonder if that's the kind of fillings I have...they certainly are all silver. And like I said earlier...I don't have any clue about my newest assignment. The questions are hard. I can't comprehend them. They can mean any of three things to me at times. I wish they were easier to understand. Such as, 'What are contemporary activities and influences from Greece that overlapped the early developments in Italy?' What the hell does that mean? God this entry is dark. Just ignore it, okay? It's total crap things coming out of my brain from somewhere-I-don't-know-where. |
3,749,504 | female | 17 | Student | Pisces | 25,June,2004 | the O.C. is their favorite show. Because come on, people, even those erroneous to humankind can find some culture.

Imagine your first child is a girl, what do you call her?: A mistake 21b. Imagine your first child is a boy, what do you call him?: Uhh...mistake #2. Or 'Goddamnit get some birth control pills already'... 22. Would you ever consider living abroad? Yes, France or England would be nice. |

3,749,504 | female | 17 | Student | Pisces | 25,June,2004 | The first is from Carrie Fisher, who, if you did not know, plays Princess Leia in the old-school kick-ass Star Wars (AND SHAME YOU IF YOU DID NOT KNOW THAT). The other two are from classical Greek philosophers.

3,749,504 | female | 17 | Student | Pisces | 25,June,2004 | I saw Dorene today at Papa Murphy's. Very nice, almost everyone went to the rodeo. Together. Without me. That's nice. Probably invited Chelsea but she had to work or something. Yep. Great. Not even a damn phone call. Mmhmm. My best friends and I don't even get an invite =] supremely wonderful. I don't understand it. Not that I would have wanted to even go to a stupid rodeo, but it would have been nice if someone had called me. Everyone except Chelsea and I went. And like I said before, Chelsea was probably asked to go. I'm always the last person to know everything, if I even do get talked to about something. Fucking hell, I wasn't even invited to Jayne's party in my sophomore year...guess she ran out of room or something. Some fucking thing. I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT AT ALL. We're all fucking best friends and we love each other to death (some more than others; I probably hang out with Amanda, Chelsea, Roxanne and Ash more than the rest) but...I feel left out a lot. I wish Amanda was here. I wish she was back. Fuck. I miss her more than I miss Bobert, and Bobert is the best friend I have ever had in my life. I FUCKING MISS HER. Dorene talked about the Seattle trip too. If we're going, I have to know before the 25th so I can get time off. But yea, if they do go - I probably won't find out about it either, or be invited =] how nice. Ok. Enough depressed shit talk. And sorry I'm cussing so much. ^^ I need to stop. I can emphasize things much better with other vocabulary words. Eh. Anyways...baseball rocks. Props to the players out there. |

3,749,504 | female | 17 | Student | Pisces | 25,June,2004 | Heyy, new editing system! Fun stuff. I am typing in 'font.' Now I am typing in 'Trebuchet.' Ok now Verdana. The prized favorite. Well, I have realized that the Good Kid gets allowed a few Bad Things without being held accountable. I.e. Me kicking a hole through Christopher's door. I was angry, blah. And best yet - HE got in trouble for it, not me. Heh. Am the Untouchable Flamingo of Lime Convertibles. I got a job too :D guess who is working there...Diana! I haven't seen her since I was a likkle freshman. Bwah. She roxurz...her parents own the hotel. The manager is a little freaky but altogether nice. I folded some stuff and got paid for an hour's work 'cause I stayed after she hired me so she could show me around and do laundry. Mmhmm. $7.05 is mine! Let's see, what else did I do...scoffed in horror and delight when my brother told me Michael mentioned me in his letter. I am so upset I missed talking to him before he left. My fondest memories will be of when we had Zoology & Marine Bio together, and when we went to the movies, and when he came over and played Yoshi's Island on my GBA. Wherever you are now, Michael (presumably somewhere in Poland)...I will never forget you, and will cherish (so corny, but true) our times together. You are the nicest person I have ever met in my life, even if you do drink beer. In Poland. |

3,749,504 | female | 17 | Student | Pisces | 25,June,2004 | Must be either a) bug bites or b) Syntax's ravages on my precious foot skin. 'Cause it is all red and itchy, and kind of bumpy. And bloody, from when the ravaging occured. Sooo...in an effort to talk about something actually interesting, we went to the horse races tonight! Quite a show, we only stayed for half but still saw four races. Very, very interesting. The jockeys were akin to small chairs with two legs, supremely teeny. Jayne would make a good jockey, except I think she is over the height limit, being 5'0'. I think the height limit is around 4'8'? The carnival was also going on around the fairgrounds (might pop over tomorrow to eat fattening goods and obsess about how stupid the rides are). I SAW KRISTINA! Ohhh, that made my week. She hasn't written me yet, said she can't find my address, it being trapped behind some picture frame she can't remember (forgot to tell her it might be behind the picture of her catdog she brought to camp). Oh, she is so sweet. I missed her tremendously. She is very bright for her age, no wonder I took to her the most at camp. She was my favorite :D I wonder if she has seen Jenny around. I couldn't stick around to chat as the old family was waiting to pile into the car and go home, but it was so nice to see her. Bwah. Latest school assignment is regarding China in antiquity and medieval Japan. It spoke a lot of Samurai and how they came about, I thought that was very interesting. Did you know that homosexuality among the Samurai was very common? Intriguing. Very loyal men, were those Samurai. |

3,749,504 | female | 17 | Student | Pisces | 25,June,2004 | Last night was tres bonne! I forgot to write about it this morning, eh? We went to see The Terminal, which was very good, but I found some parts a little long (although, in retrospect, they weren’t long or boring; I just had to pee really badly at the time and my kidneys hurt). Some aspects were quite amusing, and Spielberg certainly played to his abilities, but it wasn’t a new masterpiece of his. However, I highly recommend this movie as Hanks and Spielberg are an incredible team, no matter what the premise. After the movie, it was 9:45, and the closest fast food place – Arby’s – was just closing as we drove by (I preformed an illegal U-turn in order to discover IT WAS CLOSED, what a waste of a useful spy move) and all hope seemed lost…until, nearly out of Bend, we discovered a vastly unknown Taco Time sitting in a little-known strip mall. The brazen lights just barely grazed my eye line as I realized that no more innocents need to turn to dark, sordid McDonald’s Adult Happy Meals at 10:30 p.m., as Taco Time is open until “1:00 a.m. Or Later.” Two complaints only: Pepsi products. Who the hell wants to drink Pepsi products, and if you’re going to have only Pepsi shit in your “restaurant” at least stock DR. PEPPER, the only good Pepsi product. My other complaint is regarding their “Cinnamon Twists,” which are in reality stale styrofoam corkscrews of pale taste and no flavor. |
3,749,504 | female | 17 | Student | Pisces | 25,June,2004 | I am supremely glad she doesn't know this journal exists. Her knowledge is of my old journal, the one I haven't updated in weeks. And never will again. The old is so...constricted. I feel I have more freedom to write in this blog. I just gave up writing in that old one; I couldn't think of anything more to say. Not much you can say after 2000 posts, eh? Anyway, she said to forget it, that she is 'mostly' over it. Well, whatever. I'm never signing on to my old screennames again, and even when she finally does stop 'ignoring' me by not using the SNs I know about, I doubt I'll give her my new screenname. And she won't know about this journal. Ever feel like you hate someone, but in moments of glory you realize you love them? I have decided to make a layout for this thing. I love CSS...fun stuff. Thinking pink, lime green, flamingo-ish? With a margarita. Hell yea. |

3,749,504 | female | 17 | Student | Pisces | 25,June,2004 | The other night my computer flipped out. It went completely haywire. It's hard to explain...basically there was an error message every five seconds, the color scheme / resolution was all screwed up, nothing would open. So the next morning we took it into the computer place, and I got it back tonight. He installed XP on there instead of ME, which is great because I have wanted to do it for forever. He installed a new drive, also. Apparently my computer had over 150 viruses on it. Yikes. So it's back and better than ever :D |
3,749,504 | female | 17 | Student | Pisces | 25,June,2004 | Okay, this is pissin' me off. The photo site still, obviously, says that my daily allowance has been used up of bandwidth. Arg. HAS NOT! I'm looking into getting a new photo hosting site and probably using many of them so that I never go over my bandwidth on one. I watched Connie and Carla the movie last night. It was somewhat funny, but pretty amusing (well, it kept me amused for an hour and forty minutes, approx.). If you have nothing better to rent, then rent it, but if there's another movie you want to see don't bother. Also, APPARENTLY, by September 1st $500 must be into my France account. It's my graduation present and yet I'm supposed to pay for it. Thanks, mom and dad. You're the GREATEST. SAID WITH SEVERE SARCASM. |
3,749,504 | female | 17 | Student | Pisces | 25,June,2004 | The (free) photo hosting site says I have gone over the alotted bandwidth for the day, so none of my pictures are working, including the background. What else...I'm bored. Yea. So IM me. Frogstar the 1st. |
3,749,504 | female | 17 | Student | Pisces | 25,June,2004 | They constantly demean me because I have certain self-confidence. Certain meaning in specific areas, and none in other areas. For instance, I know I'm right most of the time. Why? Because I have a photographic memory. I can walk into a store and just be walking around, not looking for anything in particular, and a week later my mother can ask me how much milk is at the store and I know how much it is. I read an obscene amount (amassing huge collections of random facts that dazzle people who will listen) and I use my large vocabulary when talking. Yea, I'm arrogant, and I know it. I'm fucking narcissistic and I know that, too. I don't really give a shit. It's just when my family degrades me and says things like 'go stand in your closet and stay there' or 'who cares, you live in fantasy land all the time anyway' that upset me. I don't understand it at all. I'm so cynical of the world, the only way I can survive is to read and live in my fantasy world . The real world disgusts me so much that if I didn't have my own domain (my room, where I read and write and live ) I would have gone through with the suicide attempts a long time ago. Like in the fifth grade when I first tried and almost succeeded to OD on random pills. They disgust me so much. They gang up on me and I don't have a clue why. What the fuck, you would think they would be used to my ugliness and conceitedness. It especially upsets me when my stepfather makes jeering comments or sounds ('oink oink') when I'm looking for something to eat or am doing nothing . Except usually when I'm out of my room someone will usually tell me to go back to my cave. Oh, I have gone into this too long. I really hate to post depressed writing in here. They were just doing it all again and I am upset. I just went there to talk and play with my cat, but no. It turns into a ganging up on me once again, with my brother making lewd comments and doing imitations of me, and my stepfather doing much of the aforementioned. But why I really wanted to post, before I got caught up in all that, is that I've implimented something new into my blog. On the sidebar I'm adding something. By January 1st, 2005, I want to have jogged 250 miles. Yes. There are 137 days remaining this year, and that averages 1.83 miles per day. Not a lot for a person in shape, which is why after January 1st I want to start running more. The 250 miles is just to get me in shape and geared for the Big Year. The Year of Graduation and All. Sooo...I'm making an image I'll update every Sunday night or so, with numbers of miles to run left, along with miles ran so far and days left to achieve this. So thanks all, for being supportive of me. I hope you will all still be supportive during this time too, because I'll need a lot of willpower to do this. I usually get into shape and then quit running, get out of shape, and then repeat the whole thing again. This time I'm trying to stay in shape permanently. On another note somewhat related, I really enjoy reading everyone's comments. I know I'm not interesting a lot of the time but it means a lot that I can count on you all. You're all great people and thanks for putting up with me. |
3,749,504 | female | 17 | Student | Pisces | 25,June,2004 | So Uncle James and my new Aunt Pam left. They were here for a few days :) James is a millionaire. He owns a concrete company and is an artist too. He made me some opal earrings when I was a little kid, they are so gorgeous. He has land down in Mazatlan and I wanted to go there for spring break but we went to Ashland instead. Ha-ha. Anyway, that's about the extent of what I have to write about. I hung around the house while Mom took Christopher to Mitchell to look at the private school there. If he's accepted he'll only be home on the weekends :D oh that would be great. Our relationship would be about 10x better, that's for sure. Almost like I've gone off to college. Soooo...I hate my family though. They're a bunch of pissy bitches. Fucking hell. I have dentist tomorrow. I'm scared. I hate the dentist. |
3,749,504 | female | 17 | Student | Pisces | 25,June,2004 | I'm going over to Chelsea's at six. It's David's birthday and there's going to be pizza and a lot of 15-year-old boys. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVID! David's great. I taught him how to play chess and we've bounced on trampolines together. Maybe I'll go to a movie later. The Village? Chels said it was good. Not scary, but suspenseful (which is what I have heard from urlLink other people too). |
3,749,504 | female | 17 | Student | Pisces | 25,June,2004 | There ^ is DJ. In my pink Halloween wig. Drooling. I'll try to post something else quickly so you don't have to see him very long. Haxor Tazz on her killer sk8burd. After some kitty catnip. SK8 TAZZ SK8! (Sorry, had to take the picture out!) |
3,749,504 | female | 17 | Student | Pisces | 25,June,2004 | ''I don't believe this. I've got a trig midterm tomorrow and I'm being chased by Guido the Killer Pimp.'' Whoever knows what movie this is from gets awesome props from me :) I was watching it and this quote totally cracked me up. |
3,749,504 | female | 17 | Student | Pisces | 25,June,2004 | A guy from my history class just e-mailed me with his picture. To see if I 'want to chat more.' I don't know whether to be creeped out or flattered. I'm just trying to remember if he's one of the ones in jail... |
3,749,504 | female | 17 | Student | Pisces | 25,June,2004 | Firstly, I did say I was going to write something new for Civilitas since I haven't lately, as I've been on vacation and...other stuff. But the point is I can't until tomorrow or Saturday. Why? Because I've spent the past five hours doing homework for my college History of World Civilizations class. And that's just my WEEK'S ASSIGNMENT. My class ends on Saturday and I have a final to do as well (an essay). I've left two days open to work on this, tomorrow and Saturday. I am swamped, to be frank. In other news...she finally figured it out. That I hate soccer. She knocked on my door and said 'You have a message from Kambak. She says if you're playing soccer, you have to call her back.' Uh. So I told her very politely that no way in hell am I playing soccer; I have thought about it and decided that I am going to be very busy my senior year of high school, what with a job and my senior project and taking additional college classes, and helping run Student Bank and other such nonsense. So she said Okay. She didn't ask me to explain or anything because she knows and gets it now . What else...oh yes. Added a few things to sidebar. The thing near the bottom of it is a random link to a journal through a program called BlogSnob. I can't figure out how to make the font smaller; I tried everything I could but it didn't work. Well, it worked but it just did something really weird and I had to change it back. I know people can format that thing, I saw it on other blogs, but I can't figure it out. Any suggestions? And I put a counter at the bottom of my journal. I wanted it on the side bar but for some reason when I put it there, it drags down to the bottom of my journal and won't go where I want it. I figure there's some sort of footer code in it I can't figure out. I'm just used to java and perl :( Eh. Well, BLAH. Oh yes - and I put in a little Simpsons random quote thing. It's hilarious, well, most of them anyway. Also, I am very depressed for a reason I'd rather not divulge. Fuck it all. |
3,749,504 | female | 17 | Student | Pisces | 25,June,2004 | Burns: Look at that pig. Stuffing his face with donuts on my time! That's right, keep eating...Little do you know you're drawing ever closer to the poison donut! [cackles evilly, then stops abruptly] There is a poison one, isn't there Smithers? Smithers: Err...no, sir. I discussed this with our lawyers and they consider it murder. |
3,749,504 | female | 17 | Student | Pisces | 25,June,2004 | First of all, sorry for not doing to Civilitas article. I was mucho busy yesterday :X homework and such. Plus it didn't help that my brother was online all evening. Syntax Error. Leaving the build...blinds. (Had to take out!) My favorite David Bowie picture. |
3,749,504 | female | 17 | Student | Pisces | 25,June,2004 | I have eight pictures to post, so I'll disperse them and post a few every once in a while (every few hours? days? Whatever) This one I call Face/Off. Tazz, big cat, is on the left. Syntax Error, little kitten, is on the right. Syntax often pesters big cat and Tazz absolutely hates her. Hiss! That's my brother. In his homemade garbage bag diaper. He was filling it with water and running around in the yard. For kicks, I guess. What a freak. |
3,749,504 | female | 17 | Student | Pisces | 25,June,2004 | urlLink Grant brought this up...it's funny 'cause it's true. Those little banners above our philosophical blogs are keyword activated. On Civilitas, it advertises for Iraqi Dinars (CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT AN IRAQI DINAR IS??), although I'm pretty sure I haven't typed the word Iraq or Iraqi in there. Maybe it thinks...'Bush. What goes with Bush automatically? IRAQ!' So let's just see about the journals I go to, hmm? All right. urlLink Ryan , he protests against the movie because it sucks in comparison to the book, has an ad for 'I-Robot' movie wallpaper, etc. Plus an ad for the book. Which he already owns. So ppshaw. And urlLink Urza's blog has ads for a 'simple depression cure' and 'gothic poetry.' I don't know if you're depressed or what, Urza, but it really doesn't seem like you are. And from what I understand, you are DEFINITELY not Gothic. Er. One of my other blogger friends, urlLink Lor , found a clever way to block the ads. I had one of those on my old journals, they rock but are hard to place. Too bad I don't get to find what she gets ads for :) foot fungus? Machine guns? THE WORLD WILL NEVER KNOW! :D And urlLink Catfish has an ad for protecting marine life in the Georgian straight. Might this have something to do with his second post, the Penguin Quiz he took? I guess they had to do that, or use an ad for urinals, as his first post calls blogs the urine of the internet. Like I told him last night, very vulgarly I might add, 'everyone must urinate :)' Thanks again Grant for pointing the ads out...I'm selectively blind and tend to ignore a lot of detail. ^_^ |
3,749,504 | female | 17 | Student | Pisces | 25,June,2004 | I drove past Rawhide today and Zach's truck wasn't at his house. He must have been at Meadow Lakes. I almost stopped there but I didn't. We talked on the phone for three hours the day before I left. We were supposed to go out with Gates one day but we haven't yet. I doubt we will, although we promised each other. Save that for the school year, I guess. Random plans when we go out to lunch together. And no more Subway. My favorite memory is when we were driving home after seeing 13 Going on 30 (cute, but not great) and he was singing along with the radio. The Reason, as I recall. And the pro/con list isn't going too well. All I can think of is Reed is Small and Berk is Big. |
3,749,504 | female | 17 | Student | Pisces | 25,June,2004 | Yes, I am back. HOME. I love HOME. HOME IS WHERE THERE ARE NO TAXES. HOME IS WHERE I DON'T HAVE TO PUMP MY OWN GAS. California is expensive. They tax food, clothes, gas, income...parking...anything they can. And where do their taxes go? IT'S A DAMN MYSTERY. Because their interstate system is run-down, you have to pay for everything (WTF? Since when does PARKING A CAR need to be paid for? IT'S NOT LIKE I'M DAMAGING THE FUCKING CURB! There is no rehabilitation needed! Why do they make you pay to park a car???) and then some...it's so sad. Here in Oregon we are one of the few states without an income AND sales tax. We can buy our damn .99 cent sodas and not worry about having to dig out an extra 7-8 cents for TAX. And we can buy our $20,000 Camrys and not pay $2000 in TAX. It's the OREGON WAY. Plus we have legal abortion, euthanasia, and gas-pumpers. YEA! GAS PUMPERS! I DON'T HAVE TO PUMP MY OWN GAS HERE! I CAN JUST SIT ON MY FAT, LAZY ASS AND NOT WORRY ABOUT IT! I love Oregon. It's the place to be. And this trip made me realize it. Oregon's an untapped treasure trove of liberal politics mixed with small town America. And I absolutely adore Berkeley. Four years there would be fine for me...as long as I didn't have to drive a car. Because parking is unseemly down there - I'd rather take PT and deal with the filth than the traffic + parking fees. Although...the shopping is nice - very original - but Ashland and Portland are better for it. And cheaper. Plus there's Reed...I have to decide whether I want....well, let's make a list. Pro/con for each school. Shall post it later. After I make it. And Grant, thanks very much :D apparently Blogger sends you an e-mail asking you to join the blog. So I'll get on that right away. Soon. Maybe tomorrow morning. 'Cause my eyes burn. Tomorrow...more political rants in Civilitas. Probably...the immigrant/president issue. That's going to be a hotspot in the future. |
3,749,504 | female | 17 | Student | Pisces | 25,June,2004 | We're off to Berkeley in the morning! Shall be gone a minimum of four days. If I don't find a suitable internet cafe (scoff, cough and more scoffing) then a detailed entry will be on the order when I get back. Ack. Hotels cost too much there. Here, in this stupid town (and in most of Oregon) the prices per room for a single are around $29-35. The cheapest hotel ('Berkeley Budget Inn') was about $63/night. And the prices increased exponentially from that; think Hotel 6 costing $200+ a night. Wow. That's my last paycheck - I worked for two weeks . And, luckily, I still have most of it (actually it was $256 but after taxes...so sad) and can spend it on crap in San Francisco. Who would have thought, MY stepdad taking me down there. He's practically the most racist guy I know. Although I think it's all for show... We leave in the morning at 7:00 a.m. Brilliant. I will wake up at 5:30, quick shower, and finish packing (contacts, hair brush, shampoo, razor, hair stuff, etc). So...bye! Til some day a few days from now. Wheeee. |
3,749,504 | female | 17 | Student | Pisces | 25,June,2004 | I made a separate political discussion journal :) urlLink http://civilitas.blogspot.com/ I'm going to post a bit from my first post there, so you can kind of get an idea of what it's about, etc. 'I created this journal because I feel that my personal journal should not be muddied with my opinions on politics. Why just politics? Because it's my premier passion, and everyone has a right to decide what they believe in, and should not have to read my writings about my political opinions unless they choose to. By choosing to read this journal, you are choosing to read my (and hopefully in the future, other's) political views and opinions. Hopefully I will not incorporate any personal evaluations into this journal; my personal life is on the stand at my other journal, Sublime. This one is strictly politics. I encourage all of you who regularly read my journal (all four or five of you - Lor, Ryan, Urza, Lotos maybe, and even the people I have recently met - Grant and DeAnn) to talk to me about joining this journal so it can, hopefully, become a place where different people can post their own opinions - instead of constantly reading about my own :)' Okay, so that's most of the first post. But you get the gist, hopefully. |
3,749,504 | female | 17 | Student | Pisces | 25,June,2004 | Fahrenheit 9/11 is now officially banned from Kuwait. In the words of the emphatical Michael Moore...'I'm sure glad we were able to liberate Kuwait and make it a free country!' I've decided that for a girl who will major in politics...I rarely talk about politics in my blog. Perhaps I'll make a special one just for politics :) Then anyone who wants to read about my views, etc, which I will try to make unsolicitating, can. Just so you know...I have NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER EVER ^ 25th power wanted either Bush or Kerry to win the election. I've never been Pro-Bush, Anti-Kerry, Anti-Bush or Pro-Kerry. Never. Until yesterday. But still, I hate advocating my opinion to the masses when I believe everyone is free to make up their own mind, and I HATE PEOPLE WHO ARE CONSTANTLY DERAILING THE OTHER POLITICAL PARTY BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE THEIR PARTY IS TOTALLY, AND CONSTANTLY 'RIGHT' AND ONLY THEIR POLITICAL CANDIDATE IS WORTHY OF ANY VOTES FROM THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. |
3,749,504 | female | 17 | Student | Pisces | 25,June,2004 | In my old one, I had 1,725 entries. I started by going through the ones from the first day I got my journal - April 19, 2003. It's amazing how much you can change in sixteen months. I read through surveys I filled out, with answers I would never write in now, through my thing with Brian to the Labyrinth community to...growing closer to my best friend. I wrote about my brother's rotten actions, meeting Patrick, and the time when Amanda almost died and I spent the night crying. I told readers about the concerts, the parties, the friends...about Derek's hurtful comments, more job interviews, karaoke at Alysia's which led to the Allmighty Water Fight between us and the guys. I talked about Adrian, whom Bobert was deathly jealous of. Wrote of watching Insomniac Music Theater on VH1 until the wee hours of the morning. Watching the stars and clouds float by with a light zephyr tickling my nose while on the cement of our newly started second garage. And my insomniac issues last year...and all of the games I played with other people on AIM. Hey, they deserved it. I started writing less and less as my junior year flied by... And finally, near the time when I stopped writing...one of the last things I wrote about was my friendship with Zach and how we grew closer and closer, and started to love each other. I can tell you that Bobert did not like that. |
3,749,504 | female | 17 | Student | Pisces | 25,June,2004 | I want to post a chapter of a book I'm in the middle of writing, but I don't know if I should. The plot line is crazy - I came up with it as a play first, but decided not to write it as a play, instead as a story. Blah-blah-blah. I just wanted to use some clever wordplay and make it a work steeped in sarcasm and nearly-impossible story lines. But whatever :) |
3,749,504 | female | 17 | Student | Pisces | 25,June,2004 | It's the first time I know of since near the beginning of June (after school got out). He hasn't e-mailed me since then either, although we both promised each other to do so. I know he went on vacation and to golf camps and crap, but still :X he should get on more often. If he doesn't email me by the time he gets off, I'm going to kick his ass . Hahaha. Yesterday, walking along at the fair, Ashley asked me if I was going to go to Winter Formal and Prom next year. Uh, no, I told her. She asked me, 'But what if Zach asks you?' I told her that was ridiculous and why would he ask me? 'Because you guys are friends.' Yea, but we are both friends with other people too, my world does not just consist of him. Yea, we do a ton of things together (during the school year) like movies, dinner, concerts, but that's different. We're not dating or in love with each other. We love each other, but as friends, of course. I'm just afraid my friends have gotten the wrong impression. Half of them have told me that me and him should get together, but it's just a friendship. FRIENDS. I've gone on about this for too long :P anyways, to wrap up, am pissed off he hasn't emailed me lately, I'll probably call him later, and I'm glad he's not dead. But still pissed. |
