i wanna be teacher's pet...
so last night ben came over and we watched WAITING FOR GUFFMAN! at last, i understand why one day ben came out of the tent with his pants on backwards and hopped around like a complete headcase. of course, that doesnt explain why he's been doing that for years..... just kiddin. if you havent seen this movie, go to your local blockbuster and rent it. it's AWESOME. it comes from the makers of This is Spinal Tap and Best in Show and follows their genre... mockumentary! its sooo cool. get the dvd. watch the special features... the last additional scene is the best... the one about the river? and note corky's outfit. its SUCH a riot. anyway, with that in mind, im just going to spout of some guffman jive.
and we need a rifleman here, and a rifleman here. and here. remember what happened last year?
a penny for your thoughts...
he has a wife... but she's out of town. i haven't seen her recently... i havent seen her at all... that's the problem. she just isnt supportive.
well, we were talking about pantyhose.... but that's not the point.
yeah well that's all i got.
everybody dance!

im back, *y'all*.
if you didnt know... i was on EXTREME ADVENTURE TRIP all week... that's why i wasnt here. its hard for me to talk about and i dont know why. so im not gonna give a play by play or anything. ive decided that instead, ill do what sarah and ben did at the fire last night... except maybe with more inside jokes. to take an idea that i blantantly stole from andrea (she stole it from ashleigh, whoever that is) im not giving names.
1. bers and ders, dude. bers and ders. and no, i DONT mean beers and deers. but you know that. it was great spending time with you, you are just so easygoing and fun... God gave you just a great light heart. and anytime i threatened to kill you, especially in the A.M.s (you morning person jerk) i didnt mean it. and dude, you ARE down. but seriously... dont wear the blingbling in public.
2. fish, fish, the fish is back. im listening to that song right now, actually. im totally with sarah... you blew me away. your sense of humor and all kinda mask it, but you got a lot going on in there. did you pick Philippians? it was a really good choice. i think God really used it to teach us, even though we had to learn it the hard way (i KNOW you know what i mean). you showed me and taught me a lot this trip. i respect you SO much. and stop scolding me, you punk. love in christ, your favorite D.B.
ps. i berry like my house too.
3. you are my camping hero... the clothesline out of sticks is still the awesomest. im sorry i contributed to squishing you on the beach. i couldnt help but notice that EVERYONE you met fell in love with you... (do i smell a shotgun wedding??) but you have a great personality. you have SO much potential to do awesome stuff for God.
4. i hope your voices think im cool, cause i think you're a pretty cool guy. thanks for letting me steal your contact stuff... i hope you dont really want that back. cause i still have it. you know, ive always kinda felt weird around you... its sad, i wish we could be better friends. just remember... no touching!
5. even with all my yelling at you, i still think you're pretty cool. im glad we could make up. you're a nice guy... maybe too flirty sometimes, but im glad we are friends. ill let you know how things swing when jeff gets in the youth group.
6. and to think i was afraid we wouldnt get along... we do have a really sick amount in common. and ha! i got off without telling my stories about the emo boys. im sorry bout your luck with your tortured surface wound. heh... mouth to mouth. that was rather funny. seriously, we've gotten so close to each other, i think you're awesome. and to think we didnt even have to pull a diana. although that coulda been fun... the killing, i mean. oh yeah.... and "im a big fishy! dont eat me!"
7. you're a cool kid. really. i was worried about you a lot, but i was SO glad to hear you had a good week. remember, God is ALWAYS going to be there for you. it must be really hard for you oftentimes, but you were really a sport this week and i hope i can help to encourage you.
8. you're a complete nut. but you're a nut for Jesus and that totally never ceases to inspire me. seriously. i dont even know if i have anything more than that.
9. ive always had a lot of respect for you. you are not only very intelligent, but wise. i really appreciate how you look out for others, particularly your best friend... and me. it was good talking to you out on the log, if awkward like no other. and that log just wasnt comfortable. but yeah... i hope you continue to grow in your faith, and i know that you will grow into an even bigger and better leader. way to be a pony, dude.
10. what is there to say here? maybe just.... rule number one. or something. i think we'll make it somehow... exactly what "making it" will include i dont know. but the Big Guy's got our back. you never cease to amaze me really... you are such a servant. there are so many demands laid upon you... i guess thats the toll of leadership. but you handle it so well. theres too much in my heart for me to say. i wish i could get it out but i really dont think i can.
and that leaves me.... ::pats self on back::
i love you all. stay true, kids. dont forget the stuff you learned... keep that caribiner (sp?) around ("i just want a shiny one.")
3...2...1....goodbye.

so you think you can love me and leave me to die?
the fish is back??!!?! what?!!?!?!

"look! i have the left bower of the queen!" --me, playing euchre.
happy fathers day, y'all! tell your dad you love him.
uhhhh... i should probably have something to say here, but i dont...
music: lots of things.but ill mention ONCE IN A LIFETIME by THE TALKING HEADS!!!
Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.
And you may ask yourself
What is that beautiful house?
And you may ask yourself
Where does that highway go?
And you may ask yourself
Am I right?...Am I wrong?
And you may tell yourself
MY GOD!...WHAT HAVE I DONE?

there is a dismantled trombone in my bathroom. besides that, today has been so boring! but im down with that. and i got my "learn to speak italian" software at comp usa and thats neato... it's hard, but it has voice recognition and thats pretty cool. its soon time for dinner and mom and dad are at figlio's (my favorite!!!! ; ) ) and so i must fend for myself... scary! i think i may make an effort to get real food too... even though we have donuts, heehee. but yeah i dont really have anything importatnt to say. the main reason i made this post was so i could show off my sad photography skills and my cute pez dispenser some more....
im a total freak....
and im out of pez... so, ya know. if you feel like buying me some, go ahead.

i feel so better now....
im sorry.
after a good nights sleep and some thought, it's SO worth it.
i have a million things in my head (sound fmailiar?) but yeah. thats how things go.
later.
darn straight.
you know, they say charles manson heard in the beatles songs "helter skelter" and "piggies" a call to slaughter using knives and forks. theres even a book about it... Helter Skelter. it was in the paper today! arts page. id like to read it except it would probably scare me.
yeah, you're probably right. it would leave such a mess.
so i thought this would be some sort of dream and it would be easy and better.... WRONG. it seems every day i am finding another reason to wonder whether this is worth my anxiety. it probably is. but everything just seems to go SO BADLY ALLLL THE TIME. ALL THE TIME! it just seems to get more complicated every day. do all people deal with this? is every relationship this messed up? is it just the weird circumstances? is it one of us? is it both?
heres the plan: we are drugging our parents, going downtown, getting them to sign some crap so we can get hitched, then running off to alaska.
or i could just DIE.
i cant pick.
so besides that today was good. took my last exam. i got lots of new toys and got toys for my friends too. i got a new bag (it's neato and it even has a pez holster for tenchi). and i got the sequel to the sisterhood of the traveling pants, the second summer of the sisterhood and im excited to read it. get me mind off my life.
i think im going to sam's tomorrow to watch princess mononoke. and i bought some hamtaro keychains today.... friendship hamsters!
michelle's mice are PRECIOUS.
her party was cool. too bad nobody has cool hair though... cept maybe andrea and that purple stuff.
music: rent rent rent... i wish. none will come on my player! im gonna just sob.
cows? cyberworld?

today?
woke up late for school. threw on some clothes, took my french exam. my cold ate my brain and it didnt go super-well. what the HECK is the subjunctive tense? ha.
mom took me to starbucks!!! i got one of those vanilla cream frappucinos.... so good. and she got a mocha malt frappucino and it was free. got dad's fathers day present....i think im an enabler because im supporting his addiction.
mom and me have hung out a lot today. we went running(me)/walking(her) at that park in worthington. i am so glad i have a running schedule so i can get back in shape. but yeah, then we drove thru wendys and got those killer mandarin chicken salads... they're so yummmmmmmy. and we ate them on the floor in the basement and watched SNL on comedy central. and the fun isnt over yet... tonight is GIRLS MOVIE NIGHT!!!! we're gettin chinese... im so jazzed.
i wuv my mommy. sure, make fun of me if you want. but who's NOT gonna end up in therapy whining about their childhood?
speaking of therapy, i swear. i still feel like im surrounded by crazy people... and it makes me really angry. it's horrible. i have to be the most un-sympathetic person ever. EVER. except maybe Hitler? im sorry that i blame you. i hope it isnt your fault. part of me says it is though.... sigh. throw it all.
music: rent, old jazz stuff.

truuuuuuue that.
the past few days have been something of a whirlwind. matchbox car tracks, ddr, books, paint, les mis music... you know. that kind of thing.
i got kissed today.
BY MY 1 YEAR OLD COUSIN!!!! HA! ok that was pretty mean. but my cousins and my aunt have been up from cincinnati for the past few days. the cute little buggers, two little blonde boys. ornery as anything, but thats about half of what maked them cute. the moment that made my week: my dad was chasing around my cousin (the one who kissed me) and he was giggling and he stopped and my dad was being goofy and was like "boo!" and my cousin kinda shrieked in delight and turned around to run again......... and went STRAIGHT INTO THE WALL. i would have felt really bad if he was hurt, because i laughed so hard i almost cried. he was just like, BAM. wall. it was GREAT. and he jsut giggled and got up and kept running. so classic. soooo classic.
no school for lauren tomorrow! what a bonus. im watching breakfast club at ten. and sleeping or something. and because i have no school tomorrow, i got to go out, and i am currently empoyed at staying up late.
going out: lauren, miyoung, sam, jay hit steak n shake. did you know they have peach shakes? they do. and they are so good i could cry. but yeah, it was pretty cool. and i discovered that jeff kleinman's cigarette smoke stinks just as bad as everyone else's. iiiicky. then miyoung coerced us into going to fantasia asian tea place. it was a pretty neato place, and while i was personally stuffed and terrified of the boba floating around in the teas, everyone else got one and then we thought: SSSSSAAAAAAMMMM. so i bought her one, and we headed over to her place. we played in her room. jay played the guitar while me and miyoung skanked in a big pile of ties. what a rush... yeah, its stuff like that that keeps me high on life. then we went to her basement and frolicked in the movie room.
there is a bug crawling on my monitor!
then we headed to the work room to see her magic box (lots of toys from me!!!!) and then we sat around in the workout room and talked and i did handstands and we talked about our bodies a lot. it was silly fun. on the way home, it was the usual joe's car ritual: LES MIS, SINGING!!!! i made most of my appearances as marius (YEAH SUMMER LES MIS!!!) and occasionally enjolras. i also sang eponine, cosette, and madame thenardier for "one day more." what fun.
my hands are dirty.
so that's about all i got i suppose.
i'm surrounded by crazy people.... is it me? is it them? what am i supposed to do about it?
music: les mis, y'all. and RENT.

today, i lit an empty book of matches on fire. it burned very strangely. i couldnt see the flame. then i swept the ashes off the porch with a yellow broom.
the moral of the story: im out of matches. you should get me some more.
nothing else really happened today.
music: modest mouse
you're hopelessly hopeless i hope so
for you.
