i just remembered, that time at the market
snuck up behind me and jumped on my shopping cart
and rode down aisle 5
you looked behind you to smile back at me
crashed into a rack full of magazines
they asked us if we could leave
can't remember, what went wrong last september
though i'm sure that you'd remind me, if you had to
our love was comfortable and so broken in
i sleep with this new girl i'm still getting used to
my friends all approve, say she's gonna be good for you
they throw me high fives
she says the bible is all that she reads
and prefers that i not use profanity
your mouth was so dirty
life of the party
and she swears that she's artsy
but you could distinguish
miles from coltrane
our love was comfortable and so broken in
she's perfect, so flawless
or so they say
she thinks i can't see the smile that she's faking
and poses for pictures that aren't being taken
i loved you
grey sweat pants, no makeup, so perfect
our love was, comfortable and so broken in
she's perfect, so flawless
i'm not impressed, i want you back.

Salem was great. We got there a little bit before 4, and left at about 7. I took 2 rolls of photos, and I think they'll develop nicely (I hope!). Mostly we just wandered about town for a few hours... around the Witch Village, the Waterfront, and the House of Seven Gables.
We went on a Candlelit Walking Tour of documented haunted houses, and it was kind of a rip-off. There were some interesting stories, but I could've easily looked up those stories myself.
I had some of the yummiest hot apple cider ever.
Next year we're going to try some things that we haven't tried yet, like a haunted boat ride, touring the House of Seven Gables, and maybe the Witch Museum. I've already been to the last two, but they're both fun so I'm willing to do it again.
On the way home we listened to Sarah Mclachlan =)
My feet are sore.

I'm watching E.T. =)
& waiting for Lauren to get here. Steph can't go because she got called in to work (after giving someone else her hours... I'm so glad I quit Big Y).
All of my neighbors (except the assholes nextdoor) are having a huge neighborhood yard sale. Of course, my parents are anti-social and decided not to take part in it. BUT I AM! Sort of. I had a big basket of stuffed animals (including oodles of Beanie Babies), so I put them out on a table. I can't be there to sell them because I'm leaving soon, but my neighbors are selling them for me. They're $1 each, and there are about 50 of them. I hope they all sell. They're in good condition with all the tags still on them.
Yayyy I can't wait for Salem!

more and more there is this animal
looking out through my eyes
at all the traffic on the road to nowhere
at all the shiny stuff around to buy
at all the wires in the air
at all the people shopping
for the same blank stare
at america the drastic
that isolated geographic
that's become infested with millionaires
when you grow up surrounded
by willful ignorance
you have to believe
mercy has its own country
and that it's round and borderless
and then you have to grow wings
and rise above it all
like there
where that hawk is circling
above that strip mall
more and more there is this animal
looking out through my eyes
seeing that animals only take from this world
what they need to survive
but she is prowling through all the religions of men
seeing that time and time and time again
their gods have made them
special and above
nature's law
and the respect thereof
and i think when you grow up surrounded
by willful ignorance
you have to believe that mercy has its own country
and that it's round and borderless
and then you just grow wings
and rise above it all
like there where that hawk is circling
above that strip mall
ask any eco-system
harm here is harm there
and there and there
and aggression begets aggression
it's a very simple lesson
that long preceded any king of heaven
and there's this brutal imperial power
that my passport says i represent
but it will never represent where my heart lives
only vaguely where it went
cuz i know when you grow up surrounded
by willful ignorance
you learn that mercy has its own country
and that it's round and borderless
and then you just grow wings
and rise above it all
like there
where that hawk is circling
above that strip mall

I'm staying home on a Friday night, probably watching TV.
I need to get a life.
Or you could say that I'm just saving the good times for tomorrow with Laur & Steph.
Yeah, that's it. Optimism beats the hell out of pessimism.
Well, I finally bought Vol. 2 on DVD, so maybe I'll go watch it (even though I've already seen it twice).

I just got back from Bigelow Hollow. I made Mark go with me... I couldn't tell if he really wanted to be there or not, but regardless, it was nice to have company (and directions). I took some pictures (color and black & white), but I think we got there a little too late, because the sun was about to set and there wasn't much light. I think the majority of the pictures will have camera-shake. (NOTE TO SELF: buy tripod.)
I only have one class tomorrow, and I have a quiz so I'll be getting out early. Algebra is cancelled!
And on Saturday I'm going to Salem with Lauren! And I think Steph might be coming along too, which is cool because the last time I hung out with her was at the strip club... well, also that night at DL's, but I was stoned so I didn't do much conversing with anyone other than Dan and the "cat."
Now I have to go try on my V-Dance dress from last year to make sure it still fits. Hah. It's funny that I'm now a college student and I'm going to a high school semi-formal.
I have to go prom dress shopping too!
(No, that doesn't mean I don't want to go. It just means that it's funny.)
And also I want to finish watching Moulin Rouge again.

I have a new obsession with the Electric Light Orchestra, all thanks to Eternal Sunshine...
Yes'm.
I noticed today, that my Psych class always goes by so much quicker than the rest of my classes. English is okay too, but it's a longer class so that evens it out. Algebra and Liberal Arts just seem to drag on forever. I think it's because my Pysch & English professors are more my "kind of people," for lack of a better expression.
I also noticed that I haven't been seeing much of anyone lately. And it's not because I've been busy. So, if anyone is ever around with nothing to do, call me up. I'm more than likely not doing anything.
(I've been wanting to go down to Bigelow Hollow for weeks now
Eww... my brother left a bowl of nasty pasta on the computer desk. I don't even want to know how long it's been there.
[edit]
I have got to start taking piano lessons again. I played for 7 years, and now I'm starting to lose it because I haven't played seriously since 9th grade. I have a list of sheet music to buy, including Moulin Rouge, Tori Amos, Sarah McLachlan, Ani Difranco, Savage Garden, Fiona Apple, Coldplay, etc. If I feel like challenging myself, I might throw in some Led Zeppelin.
The only problem is, I can't afford to pay for my own lessons. But I really want to start playing again. Maybe my mom will understand my situation and pay for my lessons.
( oh my my )

And then I went to the Tonight Show website. I don't usually watch that show, except for the funny headlines:

LAUREN IS COMING HOME THIS WEEKEND AND WE ARE GOING TO SALEM LIKE WE DID LAST YEAR AND IT WILL BE SUPER FUN! & this time we'll both have our awesome fancy cameras to take pictures of all the prettiness that we'll see. Salem has lots of prettiness. I'm excited!

Is it odd that I peed 7 times in 12 hours today (12am-12pm)?
I wasn't consuming any fluids during that time period, and the last thing I drank before midnight last night was a can of gingerale at 7pm.
That happens to me every night. I'm all comfy in bed, and suddenly... well, not so comfy anymore.
I think I need that bladder control medication that I see on TV all the time.

I'm currently putting off writing my Liberal Arts paper comparing Sophocles' Oedipus and Plato's Allegory of the Cave. Yeah, why on Earth would I want to procrastinate such an interesting paper?! (just smell the sarcasm). I'm going to do it. I have to do it. I might just skip that class tomorrow, and e-mail the paper to her tomorrow night. I still haven't even finished reading Oedipus!
My dog is doing really well with his training... except with my brother. We had our second lesson (after his two weeks of solo training) tonight, and he listens to everyone but Eric. Mostly because Eric isn't loud enough.
Ooh... Hitchcock on Inside Edition... well, not Hitchcock himself (obviously). The actress from Psycho. I can't remember her name at the moment.
So apparently, they built an 10 million+ dollar aircraft that can travel into space. In x amount of years, people will be able to buy a ticket for $100,000 to travel into space for 3 minutes.
Bush is still ahead in the polls. (52% to Kerry's 46%).
I'm really, really nervous about this election. It's way too close.
Oh, I almost died today. An 18-wheeler started moving into my lane on the highway while I was driving alongside him. Scary.

i'm home alone tonight
full moon illuminates my room
and sends my mind aflight
i think i was dreaming up some thoughts
that were seemingly possible
with you
so i call you on the tin-can phone
we rendezvous at a quarter-to-two
and make sure we're alone
i may have found a way
for you and i to finally fly free
when we get there
we're gonna go far away
making sure to laugh
while we experience anti-gravity
for years, i kept to myself
now potentialities are bound
and sleeping under my shelf
simply choose your destination from the diamond canopy
and we'll be there
so i call you on the tin-can phone
we rendezvous at a quarter-to-two
and make sure we're alone
i may have found the way
for you and i to finally be free

I heard Matt Nathanson on the radio today =)
I applied at Pier 1, and I'm going to Petsmart tomorrow for an interview.
Yankee Candle wasn't hiring =(
I have to wait until February to upgrade my cell phone.
I'm desperate for internet access in my room (aside from the telephone modem). After playing around with my new computer, and enjoying how fast it works... it just plain sucks to sit down at this crummy laptop with its billion popup ads and slowness to the max. My mom said she'd call the guy today. She didn't (surprise, surprise). She says she'll call tomorrow while she's at work. I know she won't. Grr.
I almost bought a new fish today. However, I want either a large goldfish, or a Betta fish. I can't put either of those in with Joely, because he's a Tropical Community fish. A goldfish would emit too much ammonia, and a Betta fish would just plain kill him. I didn't have enough money to buy another bowl or tank (especially a tank, because then I'd have to buy a filter, tubing, air pump, "landscaping" objects, etc, etc...).
I ended up leaving with tap water conditioner, and water de-clouder.
Those big goldfish are so pretty, though.
Maybe another time, after I've significantly added to my bank account.
In the Petsmart adoption center, there were 4 kittens. 2 Calico (like my Lily... aw I miss her =[ ), and 2 black with green eyes. They were so adorable. There were a bunch of really pretty adult cats, too. There's a $60 adoption fee, but I'm determined to get one. I have a weakness for kittens.
The very first episode of Full House is on, so I'm going to go watch it.
PS- I went bumper sticker crazy today. The back of the minivan is now decorated with PETA and anti-Bush stickers. LIKE WHOA.

I went up to New Hampshire with the boy yesterday, to pick up Tin. She gave us a "tour" of Franklin Pierce, and we met her roommate, her Zach friends, & some weird kid who lives across from them.
(We listened to Ryan Cabrera's album 4 times during that trip.)
When we got back to Dudley, we dropped her off, and then went back to Mark's house. I watched TV while he worked on the roof with his dad. After dinner, we went to his hockey game. But the other team was late, so it wasn't really much of a game.
We came back to my house and watched TV for a while, then he went home.
On my way up to my bedroom, I noticed two very large boxes by the front door. MY COMPUTER! Despite it being very early in the morning (1ish), I set it up. It's such a pretty computer. It makes pretty noises, too. It has a Da Vinci setting, and a Nature setting. The appearance is on Nature, but the sounds are Da Vinci. I <3 it!
I worked today, and rented out a storage unit to a crazy Mexican guy whose wife just left him and took off with the kids to Florida. I don't know why he told me all that information, but he did. Then he started telling me (FOR NO REASON) about his 13 year old daughter who died of heart disease. Now what was I supposed to say to that?! I hate it when people put me in such an awkward position. Needless to say, this guy was a big hassle. His credit card was denied, and he got mad at me because of it. So he left and came back with cash 5 minutes before closing to finish everything up. Oh, and he brought with him another Mexican who spoke no English at all, and a white guy who repeated everything I said.
I hate Webster.
I came home and played around with my computer for a little while, and now I have nothing to do.
PS- Anyone who hasn't added my new journal, blisslikethis_, should go and add it. I'll start using it soon.
