beepbeep beepbeep yeah

so today i drove. for the first time in forever. it was actually kinda sweet. i drove on real roads... peach would be proud of my skills. i drove twice. incidentally, i went to starbucks both times. mmmocha.

slumber party was decent. for some reason i was feeling super unsociable. i got the old "what's wrong/you look sad" thing again. its funny to me, every single time. because very rarely am i actually sad when they say that. i just have sad eyes or something i guess. bri's friend erin said that i looked like a porcelain doll. she cited my complexion, my hair and my vacant gaze. i was flattered, mostly. but that was funny to me, too. you know, maybe i felt unsociable because people kept unloading the drama of their crazy complicated/depressing lives. i felt horrible, and i knew that it was good for people to get stuff off their chests, but i was just kind of thinking that i dont want people's drama. seriously, more than half the people had really morose stories to tell. i felt lucky, but also kind of creeped out. i wasnt as... open, i guess. my most emphatic comment was about Paris Hilton.

"So who are the big icons in the media right now?" (we were talking about media pressures on women)
"Britney Spears....[assorted chatter]"
"Okay, who else?"
"PARIS HILTON!!!! i loooove Paris. she is my FAVORITE media gadfly." <-- me.

i just didnt feel like i could relate to everyone else. it made me feel sad, and also really snobbish. but i did paint my nails barbie pink and girl talk a little. so it worked out well enough.

family came up today. i tried to make my very small cousin my photo project but i am fairly sure that all my pictures sucked major. we ate lots of good food, though. so, you know. its all good. and as far as the photo project goes, i think i will reshoot it. im going to call captain betty tomorrow and ask her if i can come hang out and take pictures.

i feel sad tonight.

music: elliot smith. cause i feel sad.
