long time eh?

summer's been good. largely relaxing. largely netflixy. road trip down the coast was beautiful, going up to Ukiah was chill and Seany. i hate saying goodbye to people -- rather, i'd rather be the one leaving for college already instead of standing round like a twit and going "oh... see you in three months, then." jeff, jj, alyse, bensick, monica + sam, josh c, abby, and more to come. my roommate's from India and basically everything about college sounds much more exciting than sitting round here waiting for people (some in particular, but actually not really, well yes really) to call -- which they won't since my phone is gone. i've been quite fat this summer and so i should work on that before backpacking. or...my dad made me a smoothie. so i'm going to work on that right now.

Yay

Casey is a sweetheart. <3

Yes, one way to my heart is through thoughtful Facebook messages/wall posts.

I HATE MEN

2006-02-27T00:27:52Z

Well, "men."

However I do like pretty hippie skirts.

Watching Jeff Bryant rock out to blink-182 manically in the back seat of my car while Stites (riding shotgun) looks on in contended just-got-Gordo's-quesadilla disdain = highlight of my life.

My SAT tutor has blue hair, piercings, silver and black nail polish, drives a motorcycle, writes and acts, listens to Ace Rock, works on the radio station for BURNING MAN, and calls the College Board a bunch of pricks.

My life rocks.

P.S. V-Day is fine by me, and this person made me cry.

She's completely annoying, whiny, and clueless

but I have a really big crush on Olivia Hussey in Romeo and Juliet. I mean, oy gevalt stop being so hot!!! Argh.

This actually happened a few days ago but it was funny so I'm writing it down. Beats doing math test corrections, yes?

Jubles and I are pretending to go out, because we are weird. Well really I am weird and Jubles knows just to go with the flow. Ergo we are doing the line-waiting sway (aka that annoying thing where the guy like encages the girl in his arms, or would if Jubles weren't about 1 inch taller than me).
Enter Josh.
Josh: You two would make a really good couple.
Jubles: ... She's a little short for me.
Me: Hmph! It is so over. Again.
Josh: Wh-wh-what? You two actually went out?
Me: Mmmhmm. For like forty seconds. To screw with people's heads.
Jubles: Yeah that was really mean.
Me: Fuck you.
Jubles: .... No.

Then later, I'm talking to Josh

Josh: So wait, are you guys really back together? (Proceeds to do this adorable Snoopy-style happy dance.)
Me: No ... Jubles and I have never gone out.
Josh looks heartbroken.

Okay, I guess you had to be there. But it was funny!! Jubles or Josh, if you're reading this leave a comment and tell people it was funny. Because it was.

Also, this weekend my parents and I went up to Napa with Lyla's parents (but not Lyla) for ahi salad and duck with caramelized onions and honey parfait and art and free chocolate. Money.

And Meredith is Dr. Phil. The end.

In other news, I went to the library and did hella research for my term paper. Go me!

And Mick Jagger dances like a sex god.

UGLY UGLY UGLY

2006-02-05T01:19:08Z

So there.

Now off to Monica's princess party, for which Ali and I prepped for earlier by buying heinous floofy dresses and accessories.

Dances like he's trying to contract hepatitis

2006-01-29T09:12:01Z

So basically, I have to will myself to stay upright.

I changed my mind. I'm pissed as all hell.

Whoo lack of gender roles

2006-01-28T08:47:19Z

I like that I'm simultaneously having a fairly deep conversation with Bensick about love and looking at softcore porn with Meghan.

New mail ... G.

2006-01-27T23:55:42Z

New e-mail => scarface.is.love@gmail.com

This year was definitely the best snow trip. I'm sore from XCing with Eli and Ali; totally worth it though.

Now I'm burning a weird trip-hop/French rap mix for Michelle and thinking about Santa Cruz.

(in the style of Rose) We all suck. the end.

OMG cutest thing ever

2006-01-24T06:59:33Z

So Liz couldn't make it to rehearsal today. Salil forgot that she had emailed him to announce her planned absence, so I (the dragon's assistant aka the S&M aka the stage manager) called her house and left a message wondering where she was. I got this email later today:

Dear Ms. [my last name],

I'm sorry that I couldn't make it today. I e-mailed Mr. Singh and told him that I might not be able to make the rehearsal today because an urgent doctor's appointment was scheduled at 2:15. The appointment lasted longer than anyone thought it would and ended at 4:00.

I apologize for not e-mailing you. Should I do so in the future?

Respectfully,
Elizabeth ------

:D Yay

I reread The Golden Compass today. Awesome book, and this time I absorbed it much better than I did when I was like 9 (or whenever I read it for the first time).

So not juiced for snow trip. Oh well.

Yosemite.

2006-01-22T03:53:09Z

So, yeah. I'm not going.

I think if ever there was a time to stop trusting people, the past couple of weeks would be optimal.

I'm not mad (anymore). I'm going to watch Scarface and then maybe get a cup of coffee.

The worst part will be being in that bus –

Dude

2006-01-18T05:02:00Z

I am June Carter looking for her Tommy Gnosis. Figure that one out.

Also, Meredith and I made way cool necklaces. 'Cause we're hella pro like that.

Love to EVERYONE who has sacrificed their time/gasoline/money to pull me out of my constant daze. Mmmmmmmmwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh

Would you erase me?

2006-01-15T03:59:16Z

   And when I say you sucked my brain out
   the English translation is "I am in love with you"
   and it is no fun.
   But I don't use words like love
   because words like that don't matter....

Listen to it.

I am undone.

Mike and I broke up.

I'm really tempted to put this as Friends-Only, but I've decided that I no longer care what the general population knows about my business. I am not ashamed of myself anymore. Use this to gossip me, pity me, whatever -- it will not touch me.

m&m and m&m

2006-01-10T04:39:39Z

Meredith is coming to visit on Monday!! Yayayayayayayay :D

And Michelle and maybe Stites and I are going to see She Wants Revenge. For real this time. Aww yeah.

Winter break

2006-01-08T23:46:51Z

The MOMA with Sean my Ukiah friend. Dinner with Julian and family. The crappiest 2 or so hours I can remember. Jamaican metal band/"Jolene." Meghan and I getting three morning buns for the price of one at La Farine on Solano, then having a "secret society meeting" (my dad called it) later in the evening. Lunch with my wife. Brokeback Mountain with Ali, Elias, Meghan + sleepover at Ali's. Reassurance, well sort of. Way too much Food Network. Cookie-making at Caitlin B.'s and being .5 of the diversity. Chilling and decidedly non-hallucinogenic tea with Willy. Christmas with the family. Rio-spotting and dog-finding (Tami) with Caitlin. New Year's at Chelsea's. Braces off. And probably a lot of other stuff that I forgot about. Back to school => much stress and other unpleasantries. Lots of needless shopping, laying out nude. You know, the usual "OMG whatever. Fuck this shit, I'm turning suburban" pre-finals attitude.

PSATs.

I hate that however hard I try, I am slightly worse at math than the average CPS sophomore.

And I also hate that I
