everything was all hazy and weird outside when i was at work. i was praying for it not to rain since all the windows in the house were wide open. turns out it’s hazy because of smoke from fires in quebec. who knew. there is like, a smoke advisory or something. weird.

work was long – i worked the swing shift. but it was good. i talked to this girl who was just hired for the retail section. she said they’re super anal about how you fold everything. good thing they didn’t hire me to do that haha. they prolly decided not to hire me for retail when i said how much working at toys r us sucked haha. but anyway, she was cool – just graduated from UB with dead end major as well, also works at leather limited at the blvd mall. she said there’s big sales on leather pants there, so if anyone wants a pair… haha. there’s a shirt at work i must buy – black wifebeater, all glitterized on the front. i gotta find out how much it costs, so i can get my discount. oh, and i did get paid this week. haha i had no idea if it was a pay week, or if i was gonna get a check. 50 bucks for 1 day of work. i actually made 59.99$ before taxes… can’t you just give me the friggen penny??!?!? add on 1 minute to my hours haha.

anyway. last night…what did i do yesterday? well after i fixed what i did to destroy my website, i redesigned pc.com and added icenine.org to the design. ended up going with adrienne, her mom and sister, to the butterfly conservatory in canada. i had never gone before, so it was cool. danielle would hate it. butterflys all over the place, they sometimes land on you and stuff. and they fly way too close to my head. then i went with adrienne to get her car inspected so she could come home with me and cook on the grill for me again haha. we just sat around, watched tv after that. eric came over, then he called danielle. kellee and danielle ended up coming to my house to get us to go out kareoke. but i didn’t go with them, didn’t feel like it, and didn’t want to be out late since i had to work today. i’m a wuss. whatever. shut up.

the u2 video collection is going to be on mtv2 tomorrow afternoon. must remember to tape it. the much music special with trent is going to be on tomorrow too. good thing i don’t get that channel or i’d have a taping conflict. good thing i have friends in canada to tape it for me hahaha.

yeah, SO didn’t sleep last night. my room was a nice cool temp since it was cool outside. then went back up and i was roasting again for some reason. i was all high strung since i was home alone, my heart rate was way too fast and i could hear it beating so that was keeping me up. i turned my fan back on and it drowned out the noise of my heart beat, and i figured i’d get to sleep. i was about to fall asleep when some asshole lit those machine gun fireworks in front of my house at like 2:30am. heart beat back up again. fell asleep sometime after 4. ziggy came in to scratch my furniture and wake me up at 5:30. ug. kicked her out of my room – all night she didn’t bother me, i thought i was doing good. so kicked her out, went back to sleep, and now i’m up to get tool tickets in 22 minutes. but when i left my room, my parents bedroom door was open (i had shut it last night) and the cupboard at the top of the stairs was wide open. yeah, cuz that didn’t freak me out. dunno how ziggy would have opened it, it is warped so it’s shut reaaaally good. ug. so far no one has come to murder me.

so it’s beautiful out right now, 61, high of 73 or something. i keep forgetting it’s still a weekday though.

 

got tool tix. did i mention how i hate ticketmaster? signed up for an account, so i can do quick billing. when i go to buy the tickets, it wont accept that info right now, must enter it manually. gee thanks for that convenience. so i lost the first pair of tix i was given, and got ones a section back… whatever.

 

got the new domain working. i found out i can upgrade my host account to a multi domain account (for the same i’m paying now), and get subdomains, ftp accounts, preinstalled cgi (not like i need it) etc. why did i not know this before?!?! makes hosting a hell of alot easier. i’d get only 15 email addys instead of 150 but does that really matter? lol. to do that though, i have to cancel this host account, resign up for the multi domain one…which means reuploading everything….and do i want to do that? i’ll have to think about it, and notify everyone who i host.

but anyway, the 2nd domain is………..icenine.org……the way it is set up now, it’s more or less a redirect, and it takes u to pc.com. we’ll see what happens if i get the new account. all email addys work with the new domain too…. isn’t that super? i’m just really thrilled beyond belief at this hahaha.

ok i wrote this long post, then blogger didnt publish it. copied it to try in a few min, then the comp crashed, lost the post. grrr. so here’s a shorter version.

work was good. it was AC. i took names all day for the wait list, so i really just stood there and did nothing all day. adr, eric, danielle and amanda came in around 11. i ended up getting out early, so waited for them, and left when they finished. i made this guys day today, cuz he was asking about our motto above the bar, and i ended up telling him about how one of our founders was hindu, which the guy loved (cuz he was hindu). girl gymnasts are in town. a bunch of them decided to befriend me. the one girl talked so fast, had NO IDEA what she was saying AT all. it was crazy.

happy 4th of july. i’m having another non-party for it. it’s even more non than the last non-party. weird tho, cuz my dad was encouraging me to invite alot of people, and my mom paid for all of it. invited the usual, fab 4, joe, amanda…haven’t heard back from joe yet. he said he might have plans yesterday when we were at the show, so i’m figuring he won’t come. i said to just show up in my email to him, so whatever. i’ve got 3lbs of hot dogs, i’ll still be happy if no one shows up hahah.

 

there hasn’t been a single day this week where i haven’t woken up with a killer headache. not sure why that keeps happening, but it sucks.

on a better note, sabres resigned rob ray!!!!!!! yaaaaaay!!!!!!!

it’s still too friggen hot. i saw a commercial for a free in home estimate on central air by Sears yesterday and i almost called. hah wouldn’t my parents LOVE that. they come home and we have AC hahaha.

 

i love how completely wrong the weather has been lately. forcast says hi of 81, but currently it’s 87. and that’s happened almost every day. thunderstorms predicted for the rest of the day…it’s definitely not very sunny right now. maybe we’ll be frying our food instead of bbqing it.

when i was in the shower i had the greatest urge to get my hair done in corn rows. not like it would look good, but i wouldn’t have to do it for a while. i don’t know anyone who knows how to do them tho, so i guess that won’t happen – not going to pay to have it done. maybe i’ll destroy my hair this weekend since my parents are gone. bleach it or something.

i also realized in the shower my year blog anniversary came and went without notice. completely forgot about it. it was in june sometime. haha.

 

tired. non party was good. cooked on the grill, no rain. played trivial pursuit. adr kicked all our asses haha. drank alot, bottles everywhere, and we were no where near drunk. kinda sad isn’t it. i had 5, amanda had 3, eric had 4, adr and danielle prolly had around the same. yeah. not drunk. not even buzzed. very very sad. adr was gonna stay over night, since she drove, but since we weren’t drunk she didn’t have to. she was going to anyway since i hate being home alone, but i told her it didn’t matter. since she’s allergic to ziggy and she’d have to sleep on the couch she decided not to.

< nostalgia >when i was a kid i used to love 4th of july. no particular reason really, fireworks never really impressed me THAT much. i remember leaving the house at night and driving down the street, and the whole street would be smoke in the headlights from everyone setting fireworks off in their driveways. it would look like a warzone, smoke and flashing lights. it was so cool. usually every year one of the neighbors would get fireworks and do a small firework show for everyone. we’d be kept up by the people who were still setting off fireworks until 2am. that doesn’t happen anymore. were fireworks still legal when i was a kid? i didn’t think so, because i remember my aunt smuggling bags of fireworks in from canada when she’d come for me and my mom’s birthdays. but there’s a serious lack of people screwing with fireworks now a days. someone on the street over had some bottle rockets, but that was about it. it’s just odd, since there was such a proliferation of them when i was young. interesting. < /nostalgia >

on a good note it’s really cooled down, and it’s only 78 in my room now. my aunt trudy in greece called today. she’s hiking mountains in austria now and everything, even tho her foot is still messed up, but much better. i really want to go to europe. i wish i had the money to go there for an extended period of time and just be a bum haha.

so shooting at LAX. how the HELL did a man with a gun and a hunting knife get into the fucking airport?!?! they wouldn’t let me take a fucking BELT onto the plane with me. so tell me how a gun gets through. ESPECIALLY on the fucking 4th of july when we’ve had heightened security all day because of terrorist threats. how does one do that?

sharon osbourne has treatable cancer and has to have surgery, so the first 2 ozzfest dates are postponed. so i’m figuring kelly is not going to be in buffalo on saturday…

 

christ it’s hot. i was lucky to be in AC most of yesterday, at least when it was the hottest. i’m dying. even the grocery stores weren’t very cold. and my basement, not cold. i think i’m gonna go down there anyway. i’m dreading taking a shower, because it always makes me sweat more. ug.

dreamed that trent took me to prom on valentines day last night lol.

adrienne is coming home tonight. too bad i’ll be at work til midnight. i guess she called last night while we were out. i guess my parents are indeed going away tomorrow. so i guess we’re gonna use my grill tomorrow night. lot’s of guessing haha.

 

ok i really want to change my domain name. even tho i just friggen reordered pc.com. would everyone be pissed off if i did? probably haha. thats alot of links to change, and lot of other peoples urls to change since i host like 6 sites from other ppl. maybe i’ll buy the 2nd domain anyway…

yep i did. i figure since i transfered pc.com from 15$ a year to 8.95$ a year, i can afford 2 now LOL. i’m so bad. once it’s propigated and works, i’ll post the url. it will be attached to the same host as pc.com…or at least thats what i tried to do LOL we’ll see if it works. so then pc.com will work until august 2003, and the new one will get to the same pages as well. hopefully.

tool tix for hamilton go on sale friday morning. eric’s gotta decide if he’s gonna go or not. WHICH HE SHOULD CUZ IT’S FRIGGEN TOOL! it’s the same day as edgefest tho, with the tea party for 10$…but come on now, he’s seen tea party 13+ times now, and it’s TOOL FOR CHRIST SAKE! lol the rest of the edgefest lineup sucks too. tool tool tool! muhammed wants me to get him 2 tickets too, but i told him i NEED him to pay me like right away. i know he has no money, but neither do i LOL. i know eric is good for the money so that’d be no prob. muhammed said he’s still gonna go, but just might not get tix til later, so we wouldn’t be sitting together (cuz i’m getting seats – fuck general admission floor) but we’d still go up there together. i told him no drugs across the border, cuz i’m not getting arrested cuz of his dumbass haha. but anyway. yeah. i’m going if i have to go by myself. it’ll end up being around 35$ american after service charges and exchange. i think. ticketmaster.ca says 30$-50$ for tix, maybe seats are 30..that’d be hella nice!

Friendship Fest with David Usher

haha “i dont see nothing wrong, with a little bump and grind….with 12 year olds” haha sorry. this commercial is on for Monsta Jamz, and it has a pretty decent tracklist, one of them being r kelly. i couldn’t resist 🙂

anyway. long day. work was good. i didn’t get validated (tested) today, but my trainer said i knew everything. so i guess i’ll do it tomorrow. i work 5 – 12 tomorrow. after work, got my free food, raced home to leave for friendship fest. it was this chick holly something, edwin, and david usher. we got there around 7:30 i think, mid holly set, found joe and mary up front. the holly chick was decent, for a girl singer haha. edwin was up next. didn’t really care for them. they blew the PA out twice, then towards the end of their set someone threw a rock onstage, hit edwin in the head, causing him to gush blood everywhere. so he ran off stage, the band took off after him. the crowd was surrounding whoever it was who threw it. some of the band members came back onstage, and then jumped off to go beat the shit out of the kid who threw it. edwin came back onstage to see what was going on, blood running all down his face. he was taken to the hospital for precautions but was ok. so obviously, that ended their set. david usher came out after that. another great show. he did his solo stuff, a few moist songs, and the rocking ozzy/pink mix of crazy train and get the party started. and of course, the show didn’t progress without an almost fight haha. crowd surfers started during the moist songs, one came by us and was dropped. so then they’re starting with eric
“wtf you took my buddies shoe?”
eric: “i didn’t take his fucking shoe”
the kid:”i saw you take it and throw it. why the fuck did you take his shoe?”
eric: “chill out, i didn’t fucking take his shoe. why would i want his shoe?”
of course, eric took the kids shoe 🙂 hehe. the kids found the shoe when the mosh pit broke out behind us. i think it’s funny, and great, how my guy friends are protective of us girls at shows. as soon as the first crowd surfer started, eric moved behind danielle. i was ok, so it was all good. then when the shoe kids were behind us and stuff, i felt someone grabbing me. then i was like, oh it’s joe, and he pulled me between him and mary. haha so the 3 of us girls were all protected haha.

anyway, it was a good show. david usher always has alot of energy and stuff. sounded good. had a good time. but oh my god do i hurt. i stood for about 14 hours today. legs are so not happy!!

i’ve been pretty productive today so far. washed the car, washed sheets, washed myself haha, went to the bank, went to the grocery store to get pop and cherries, wrote out thank you cards, finally sent in my rebate for my cdrs. and now it’s too hot to do anything, so i’m checking my referral logs. they are so funny. so i present you, the good ones!

eric took me to the mall to buy my birthday gift. haha ended up getting the velcro letter shirt from target!! woo hoo. and a package of the window cling printer paper. i gotta glitterize the letter shirt, bedazzle it a bit maybe hehe. the shirt is sleeveless too!! so all good. then we went to andersons cuz i was starving.

i gotta study my hard rock stuff incase i get validated (tested) tomorrow when my shift is over. haha i have to study for my job.

morning. the first day of work was pretty good. i got to eat for free, they want you to try things off the menu so you can order whatever you want for free during your training days. then the preshift meeting thing. and yeah, it’s so weird to work in a REAL restaurant. mcds would always plan to do like weekly meetings to explain stuff, but if it happened once that was pretty good. preshift meetings twice a day? that actually happen?! weird haha. anyway it was amazingly busy. since i had NO CLUE what i was doing, i just stood behind the host stand for the first half and watched my trainer run everything. she was like, the head host for the night, and since it was so busy she didn’t have time to actually train me on anything. i paged ppl, and answered the phone mostly til 9. it was so busy because of soccer teams that were coming in like parties of 25 and 45 etc. 2 hour wait time and stuff. but after 9 it slowed down and i got stuff explained to me. i started seating people after 10. however thanks to them i had YMCA in my head all night. whenever it comes on all service stops so all the floor people can go dance on the stage for the customers haha. it was fun. my legs hurt cuz i haven’t stood on my feet for 8 hours since january.

so i work tuesday 10:15 – 6, so if eric waits til like 6:30 ish for me, i can still go see david usher. i work wednesday too, but i forgot what time, i think 5:15 to close again. and saturday and sunday i think i work 12-business dies (so 9 or 10pm i guess)…one sucky thing is that even tho it’s law to get a lunch break, you don’t really get one. you have the right to ask for one, since it’s law and stuff, but they don’t give you one. the girl said if you’re working the swing shift you do usually get one, because you might work for like 10-11 hours, but the normal 8 hour shift you don’t. they told me i can sneak food in the closet, so i’ll have to start bringing stuff in a lunch bag to tide me over. haha.

anyway…today…i think i might wash my car. then i dunno. i have a massive headache currently cuz i slept weird, and i’m friggen starving.

 

(random and completely pointless: the fragile at mtv awards mp3 that i got, and was cut off, has the intro from the show on it “ladies and gentleman, nine inch nails”…and eric was like, dude is that bono?! it hadn’t even occured to me that it would be bono introducing them, but when i listened to it again, it definitely sounds like bono. i wonder if bono and trent have ever met…hahah *dream come true*)

ahem

i seemed to have missed the trent hotness factor the first time i watched bowie’s “i’m afraid of americans” vid… holy mother…and trent carying a cross. can’t go wrong. something about sinister guys…what’s wrong with me? lol

 

between flipping between some hbo/movie channel and vh1, i managed to see most of The Crow: City of Angels. my god is that a bad movie. cuz it isnt the SAME movie as the first one, with different actors. it’s like they copy and pasted the script, changed words here and there, and changed the plot one tiny bit. but the movie is the same. chinese bad woman, evil drug users, innocent people dying, lots of guns shooting at mr the crow, woman knowing the man’s power is in the crow, obsession with eyes…drilling/pulling them out, getting plucked out by the bird. same “mark of the crow”, same kids running around in halloween costumes, same memory flashbacks, it’s the same. and it’s really really bad. ug. that annoys me, cuz the original was so great.

and once again, burned a cd and the one file that i never listened to, didn’t work. was just a 30 second continuous loop for 5 minutes. annoying. i gave the messed up nin one to eric, cuz he said he didn’t mind that the fragile was chopped. haha. anyway. this last one i burned is such a random assortment of crap it’s unbelievable hahaha. from george michael unplugged, to korn remixes, to billy idol. i rock!

 

talked to the grandparents again. and apparently they aren’t disappointed in my choice of current job. my gpa went on about how he’s glad i had fun at my first night there, etc etc etc, how i have a good attitude about it blah blah blah. i don’t get it.

and i fixed my mov problem. for some reason my movs were suddenly starting up a 32 bit quicktime program, which wouldn’t play them. they USED to open in the newer version of quicktime i had, dunno why it changed. so i uninstalled the 32 bit, which screwed it all up and the newer one wouldnt open either. so uninstalled all of the versions, reinstalled the latest hahah. and now it works. yay!

burned my last cd for today. u2 @ irving plaza. the person who bootleged the show broke up the songs so retardedly…like in the beginning of the next song, instead of during audience noise. and the 2 second gaps at the end of the mp3s were annoying, so i edited them all and i must say i did a pretty damn good job too. can’t even tell 🙂 and this show is fantastic.

kelly osbourne is tentatively going to be at big shotz on chippewa on the 13th. if so, i’m so totally there. if kelly is going to be there, sharon will have to be there hahah.

June 2002 Dreams

June 30, 2002

thurs night: i was friends with the people in friends. monica died, so we were trying to console chandler, who wasn’t very upset at all. i took it upon myself to make sure he didn’t kill himself from greif. i think i was in love with him, so that was my excuse to touch him alot. the funeral was someplace on top of a mountain, so we had to go up these tiny mountain paths, and i wanted to make sure he didn’t jump off.
last night: danielle’s cat attacked me and beat me up so badly i had to go to the hospital. then everytime i saw it, it kept trying to attack me. i wanted them to kill it (put it to sleep) cuz it was such a bastard. they were like no, he’s only like that because we wrestle with him. and i’m like that’s bullshit, it’s cuz he has no claws to defend himself with, so you turned him into an evil cat. cuz ziggy has claws and never bites or scratches anyone and my dad wrestles with her every night. i was pissed.

June 26, 2002

yay for trent dreams. i kept waking up and going back to sleep to continue them
i had gotten the new nin record, which was sort of a covers album/tapeworm preview. it had a bunch of covers that i didn’t know, and 2 tapeworm songs. so eric came over and i was playing the tapeworm tracks for him. then we watched an interview on tv with trent and danny lohner, i guess about tapeworm. danny was doing all the talking, and trent seemed wasted out of his mind on something. trent had blue eyeshadow and red/purple eyeliner on, and blue eyeshadow over his top lip. he started rambling about something but danny made him shut up.
then i was in the yard of this really old rundown house in what seemed to be an area like the garden district of new orleans. there was a tour going by, but it was totally weird. the guide was an old woman, who went inside the house and told one of the men in the tour – a fat business man – to climb up the ladder and go through the window to find her. so he did, and when he got to the top of the ladder the entire thing broke and he fell to the ground. then i realized i was on the set of the new nin video. the theme was a haunted house of sorts. the entire house was falling apart, which was part of the video. i was in the video. i had to go upstairs to where the band was, trying not to make the house fall apart. the story was about a little girl who died and posessed the house. what i had to do was lay on this folding table, as the girl all grown up, but still dead. then people in nin were coming up to me and putting things on me, almost like a funeral. trent came and put a bible against my arm. danny lohner put something else on me. john landis was directing the video. there was something with this rocking chair with candles on it, and simulated lightning to make everything all spooky. well i guess the shoot finished, cuz i could get up from the table. a grand piano appeared, and i freaked out. i was like trent please you have to play something for me, you have to. and i was being all hyper and semi-annoying. he refused to play anything. he said something that i forget now, but it was like, he wasn’t sure how legitmate i was (it so wasnt legitimate that he said, totally can’t remember tho). i replied that i thought i was pretty legitimate. so i went over to where he was, he was cleaning and rotating the wine and alcohol that was being stored in a wine rack against the wall. he was wearing black pants and a purple dress shirt. he was like, take that scalpal over there and throw it, how it lands maybe i’ll play. i said i wouldn’t do it, because the last time i threw a scalpal it landed in my foot. so he was like, is it better now? and i said yeah, it had been 7th grade, it had all healed. then i remember that the same time i did that, i had sliced my hand open too. he asked if that was better too, but i didn’t hear him, so he said it again. so i said yeah, it was all better to, no scars even. then he handed me a big glass of alcohol as he walked away from me. it was cognac. so i was like, what is this, is it going to taste bad, cuz i’ve never had it before. he was going towards the piano. i was really being hyper and not myself, but he seemed not to be annoyed with it anymore but sort of charmed.
*woke up*
carolyn was staying with me because my parents had gone away. trent came over too. he still didn’t really know how to take me and how i acted with him, but he was warming to me. carolyn and i were talking about different kinds of hair products to use and how if i could try them all for free, i’d buy something if it ended up working. (i think there was more here that i don’t remember now) then carolyn was actually danielle, and one morning when we had got up, and i went downstairs to see where they were. they were sitting on the deck together holding hands. but when danielle saw me, she stopped and hoped i hadn’t seen. but i had, and i was pissed as hell, because obviously she knew how much i liked trent and everyone always liked her. so i was like, i’m going to fucking kill her. we all got up to go wherever it was we were going to go to. trent started talking to me about how he couldn’t wait to go back to new orleans in the winter. i guess he had a summer home up north, and stayed down there during the winter. i had a gun, and i was going to shoot danielle in the back. we got into trent’s car, which was a rusted turquoise cavalier. i was like um, where’s the porche? i figured he left that in new orleans. we left, and were driving someplace. i never killed danielle. we were talking about getting special access to concerts, backstage and stuff, if you were a member of some group. trent was a member, so he could do all that. so i was like, well then now you can get me in. i was going to say “since we’re friends now” but i still wasn’t sure how we stood, so i didn’t. he was sorta wishy washy about it, and was like well i’m not sure i can. but i can recommend you join the group. i guess it was invite only. so he was going to do that for me.
*woke up*
carolyn was visiting, because my parents had gone away. we were in my room, which was a mess. full of pieces of crap i had bought because trent had seemed to show an interest in them. we were waiting for trent to finish getting ready. he was in the bathroom curling his hair with a curling iron. then my cat came in, but she had turned into a hamster and was freaking out. so we were trying to catch her, and put her in a cage til she stopped freaking out. but she’d escape from the cage, and freak out more. then she turned back into a cat. trent was finally done in the bathroom.
*woke up*
i was going to see trent someplace. i had to go through canada to get to wherever he was. it was snowing, but it was a wet slushy snow. traffic was slow going, because you had to clear your own way with a shovel. so people were mostly just walking, not driving. trent called me on my cellphone to see how i was doing, and i told him the situation. that it was ok, just slow, but if it got any colder the snow would turn to ice and then it’d be dangerous to keep going. it was warm though, because i had a no sleeve shirt on as i was shoveling. i told him that the snow was disgusting because it was green. then this tv reporter showed up to do a story on the weather, and was helping shovel…..then danielle and i had gone to visit trent in new orleans. he picked us up from the street car stop, and we were walking back to his house. i was walking in front of the two of them, slightly annoyed remembering the past when i had caught them holding hands. then danielle started singing nelly furtado’s “Fly like a bird” and i was like omg stop! but then trent came up and walked with me, and took my hand. i guess we were a couple. he said “i love you honey” and i was a bit shocked, but told him that i loved him.

got up, blogged that, back to sleep more dreams

i was watching a movie based on anne rice book with a canadian couple. i guess anne rice decided to do what steven king always did, and have a minor roll in all her movies. so she came on, and i was like hey that’s anne rice. then she materialized on the couch next to the canadians. so she was like hi, and showing them one of her dolls. she was like, sara already knows about the dolls cuz she’s been to my store. and i was like yeah, i went awhile ago. so then the canadians got excited about going to the store and buying something. anne told them that the store was really expensive and they’d only be able to afford a pen. but the canadians were like no, it’s not that bad. anne said all the dolls were around 2000$ and i was like, yeah and that’s 4500$ canadian!

me adrienne and danielle were going to midcity plaza to go swimming, because one of the stores turned into an indoor swimming place. so we parked, and i remembered that jeff martin worked there during the weekdays. then joe and some friend pulled in the space next to us, and completely ignored us. but we went in, and were milling around in the lobby before finding the pool. joe was going around all hyper trying to find someone who would let him meet jeff. then he disappeared, and jeff arrived. no one bothered him he just went to his office. danielle went to swim but me and adrienne just stood around cuz we ended up seing people from high school and talking to them. then i went outside, cuz i wanted to go home, and there were tons of teenie boppers outside waiting for
jeff to leave. so i get through them, and then mary was there. so i was like yo, and we were talking. and mary wanted to meet jeff, since he was going to be coming out soon. so i was like, you should come when he arrives in the morning because no one was there. it was alot easier than waiting after shows, or with the teenie boppers. so then jeff came out and was mobbed by all the teenie boppers, and we just watched. then suddenly they all went away, and mary just walked right up to him and talked to him and stuff.

i had gone back to geneseo to see what was going on around the campus, with my parents and carolyn. for some reason i wanted to talk to someone who worked for CAS about my meal plan, so we went to the campus store – which was in newton. but it was all borded up because it was summer. so we left, and driving down court street we saw they were building a new residence hall. it was already half done even though it had just been started. so i was irritated about the whole townhouse delay of last year. then we passed where they were building the new dining hall, down the hill more. and it was really nice, almost done again. then at the intersection with route 63 they were building an archway over the road as the welcome entranceway to geneseo. so then we were driving down 63 back home, mom was driving, i was in back behind her. carolyn was in the front passenger seat, and my dad behind her. suddenly in front of us i saw an ICBM take off…apparently there were silo-ed ICBMs in new york. that didn’t make sense to me, because NY would be one of the first places of attack, thus limiting second strike capability. but it took off. so i was like omg that’s not cool, cuz that means someone is attacking us. so i looked out my window at the right moment to see a nuclear bomb go off. i’m like OMG DUCK, MOM STOP THE CAR. so me and carolyn both duck our heads down below the car window level. my mom kept driving, and i was like STOP!!!!!! but she kept going. so after a while, we figured it was safe to sit up again. we were far enough away that the EMP didn’t kill the car. and the windows were up, so the fallout would land on the car. so we kept driving home, which was in the direction of the blast, which i didn’t think was a good idea.

all morning, dreams about going to paris. i’d wake up, fall back asleep, more dreams about paris. so this isn’t 1 dream but a combination of all of them.
i arrived in paris, and my flight wasn’t very long so i must have been on the concorde. i got a cab to take me to the hotel i was staying at, and when i got to the hotel i got out of the cab and the driver took off. i went inside the hotel to check in, and that’s when i realized the cab had taken off with my luggage. so now i had nothing, no purse, no backpack no luggage. so i was starting to freak out a bit, because i was all alone in Paris and didn’t know French, and had no ID or money or anything. i went outside of the hotel to see if i could see the cabbie, and catch up to him, but i couldn’t. there was another black cab there, so i stopped him to ask him for a business card in hopes i could call them and they’d have my luggage. just then another black cab pulled up behind him, and even tho i didn’t recognize the driver as being my driver i asked him about my luggage anyway, and he did have it. so i got my luggage and went inside to check in. i got my room and it was on the 3rd floor. i left the room to look around, and ran into ex-suitemate dani, and went into her room. she had a computer with 3 monitors hooked up to it – 1 for normal stuff, 1 for playing games, and 1 for watching movies. i was like ok, you’re a dork. then i went back to my room and across the hall this american woman was talking about how some rooms had fridges, and she knew because she had gone into some other rooms. so i got paranoid i didn’t lock my door and she had been snooping in my room. but she hadn’t been. i went to use the bathroom and it was all messed up. it was so tiny that you couldn’t fit in between the toilet and the sink. you were going to have to stand on the toilet to use the sink to wash up and stuff. just then a bunch of people came into the room. it was all the people who i went to the new orleans conference with, so i guess the trip to Paris was a conference too. because i got confused from the time change i didn’t expect them to be there that day, i thought they were arriving the next day. so i was sorta disappointed that i didn’t have an entire day in the city to myself. but i explained to them my luggage hassel and how i didn’t know what i was going to do if i hadn’t found them, and how i was lucky the 2 cabbies spoke english since my french isn’t very good. we decided to leave and go get dinner, cuz that had been my plan before they had arrived. then sara walked in with a burrito she bought out of a vending machine. we left to go get dinner, and ended up on some ferry boat. i don’t remember much about the boat except it was going super fast, and when i thought it was supposed to land it kept going, until it was driving on a road up a big ramp onto an expressway. and it was so high we could see the whole city, so i was taking pictures. then to get off the boat you had to go down a ladder, but i was holding my camera, my purse, and balloons the boat company had given us. we got off the boat and were in a gift shop.

i was in a mall with the people i went to new orleans with. our hotel room was in the mall. i had taken a shower, and so i was wet and had no makeup on, but i was hungry so i went with some old man to get a bagel from one of the food court stores. we walked to the bagel place and there was a big line. so we were standing in line, and people were making a big fuss up front because trent reznor was there. so i was like OMG i finally see trent in new orleans and i look like shit. so i was just staring at him, and the person i was with was telling me to talk to him. but i was like, no i can’t, i look terrible. so i just watched trent walk by with some old man he was with. and trent looked so cute, his hair was kinda short, and he looked really young. and he had eyeliner on, so his eyes were really dark. so then i was like, i’m not leaving new orleans til i get to talk to him, if i have to hang out in front of his house all day long, he has to leave to get dinner sometime. (figuring that he’d have to go back to the food court for more food).
the trent dream is making me feel all weird. cant explain it.

some dream about going to geneseo to watch sturges building get blown up by a nuclear weapon. we were standing in the quad waiting, but then we were told we had to move farther away so we were bussed to a building farther up the valley, where we could watch from inside where we wouldn’t get radiation. but we couldn’t even see the campus, let alone find where sturges was. but i moved towards one of the other windows just as the bomb went off so i got to see the mushroom cloud and stuff anyway.

A bunch of people were at my house and we were eating little bags of snack foods. a few houses down people were filming a moving staring kiefer sutherland. suddenly he came to my house and jumped onto the roof in front of my window, and came in my room through the window. he was pissed off cuz he was accusing us of stealing the food from the movie catering. so he was yelling at one of my friends for stealing a bag of chips, and he was looking at each bag to see if they were the same kind from the movie. so i was like, calm down, we’re not stealing anything. and then he was like ok, but just warning you don’t do it. so then he was nice, and was leaving and i was like, you can leave through the front door if you want, i can show you the way out. and he was like ok. i only did it so i could spend some time with him. so i walked him to the front door. then i was like omg i have to tell Fishy that Kiefer was in my house.
it was halloween and i was going to dressup like Pink. But I had on an outfit like Britney Spears in the Baby one more time video. And my hair was in pigtails. There was a group of us waiting by a wall, and we were all supposed to be dressed up like Pink. I was debating whether or not to go to the store to buy pink hair dye, because without pink hair i just looked like britney. the real Pink was there, and she was spraying graffiti on the wall, and the police showed up and caught her. then i left to buy the spray on pink hair stuff that all the stores sell around halloween.

another dream about kiefer. it was a macphisto society related dream. fishy and i were going to go to dinner with some people, but i had to find kiefer and talk to him about when he had been at my house. apparently if i could get him to say he remembered meeting me before, or write it down, i could turn it into school and get extra credit on my final grade. so i was wandering around some mall looking for kiefer. then i was with my friends who were going to go to dinner, and i told them i had to find kiefer first. so fishy came with me, and the others stayed at the end of the street we were on. it was a combination of halloween and mardi gras, and anne rice vampires. we were dressed up for something, but i don’t know what we were dressed up as. so we find this shack or trailer where kiefer was staying during the festival, whatever it was. so i was like, hey can i talk to you for a minute. he said sure, and i asked him if he remembered coming into my window. and he said that he did. then i asked him if he remembered talking to me the other night, which he didn’t. but then i was trying to explain to him why i needed him to remember meeting me before, and he started being weird. he started making his eyes shine bright red like a vampires, and i was like woah how do you do that. meanwhile fishy was going into the trailer to look around. so kiefer and i were talking about how he made his eyes go like that. then i realized he was a vampire too. suddenly he shut the wall of the trailer (because the whole wall came down as a door), and there was a little window i could see him through, and he was feeding on 2 boys that had been in the corner of the trailer. so he finished and opened the wall/door for me again. i was like, you made a bit of a mess with them that time. so apparently i knew he was a vampire before. he was like yeah, but i’ll clean it up no problem, i won’t get charged. then i remembered fishy and i was scared he was going to feed on her. i knew she didn’t like him, so i didn’t want her to realize what he was and be even more hateful towards him. so i freaked out and was like, where’s Fishy, wheres Fishy? Kiefer was like, don’t worry, she’s just sleeping. so i pulled open the curtains of kiefer’s bed, it was like a bed on a tourbus, and fishy was sleeping. so i woke her up and i was like wtf, and she said she was trying to tuck kiefer into bed, and he put her to sleep instead. so she got up and left, and then kiefer came over to me and was hugging me and telling me how we were going to be perfect together, and he was all normal again and not scary. and i was in total awe, he couldn’t do anything wrong in my eyes. and i was still amazed that he could make his eyes go red like that. since i was my character in MPS, i was thinking “Why couldn’t i have met you before i met bono?”

A dream from New Orleans
I was somewhere with Apolo Anton Ohno, and he was going to go off to do something with his olympian friends. But all his friends were heroin addicts, so he decided to not go, and to stay with me. and he enveloped me in a gigantic hug.
Cleaning my room I found an old dream diary I had started in January 1994 – so I was 13
1-4-94
I had a dream that I was at my grandma’s. The house was different (insert drawing here). I went in my room to go to bed and I saw another me all huddled up. I picked me up and pushed me out. Then I went into the bathroom. In there, there were more mes. There was one in the toilet, and one was in the bathtub. 2 were on the sink and counter. I went to the one in the toilet and took the seat and kept closing it on me – the other me.
1-5-94
i had a dream that we were in school in math class. all of my friends were in it. the class was like Las Vegas. there were lights all around. Andrea was a can can dancer and she had her outfit on and was dancing.
1-9-94
I had a dream I was in school and we were going to go on a field trip but i missed my bus. I was stuck with Mrs Muelbauher and some other kids. I asked them if they missed their bus but they were going later. So I left school and went to Hills and played Super Nintendo there. I saw Mr Eberwein there and tried to hide. He left and I played more. The game was you are a snake and you have to drill holes by spinning and jumping. They look like this (insert drawing here).
1-10-94
I had a dream that we were driving and there were cars on the other side of the road. All of a sudden this hole was in the road. These people tried to swerve but there tire caught the edge and they flew off the road.
Then I had a dream I was at school and it was night. I went up to a snow pile and started patting it. All of a sudden it started moving. Rosanne Lockard was burried in the snow. I asked her who did it and she said my parents.
I had a dream that we were in poll and Mrs Hartmann was our teacher. Everyone else went to change but I wasn’t allowed to. When I left no one was there. Dede was playing super nintendo in a hair dryer (insert drawing here).
1-13-94
I was at the Galleria Mall and all my friends and I went upstairs and there was a pool and Rich Stadium. We went in the lockerroom and kept putting gum in our mouths. Then we went to Kristen Ondesko’s house but she lived near the mall. Her neighborhood looked like this. (insert drawing here). They were like islands. She had a skating rink in her back yard. We were at her house and I saw a duckbill platypus climbing onto the rock. I asked them if they bit. Mrs Ondesko said the mayor doesn’t like them here. Then this humongous frog jumped on it and started eating it.
I had a dream that I was a mighty morphine power ranger and 2 of the rangers didn’t want to be in it anymore because they liked Josh Clough. There were some bad guys in school and they wouldn’t help the other 3 rangers. so i called Josh over to my art class and everyone thought his name was Brian.
1-14-94
I had a dream that for halloween i was going to be Cliff Clavin from Cheers, the psycho mailman.
1-26-94
I had a dream that I was babysitting and the little girl wanted to play hide and go seek with plastic chips. you had to put certain amounts of money on each place you could hide and if the hider picks that spot you get money and a prize. we were playing and then i decided it was too easy. I called it memory for some reason. so i went next door to see if they had anything harder to play. the girl was only 2.

so my birthday. we did exactly what i thought we were going to do. dinner, cake, danielle’s, taboo, pool. it was a good time.

i work at 4:30. we’ll see how that goes. i get free food, so that’s good haha. and currently i’m trying to get different software for my cd burner. the one it came with was crap. i want adaptec/roxio, but not paying 99$ for it :P. i burned 1 cd, my osbournes cd, and it seemed to work so that’s good haha.

 

eric came over to…surprise…fix my computer. it’s working again. and i didn’t break it either. it just sorta stopped working. but he fixed it. yay. and my new software works, the burned cd worked. except that the 1 file i didn’t make sure was whole, wasn’t… grrrrrr so now i have to download it again, and burn the cd again. lol. and of course, nothing is letting me download. arg.

happy birthday to me.

 

more exciting times. last night, went to adrienne’s with eric since she is home from school for the weekend. eric ended up fooling with her computer, surprise. we watched who wants to be a millionare haha. then headed to….denny’s. another surprise. adrienne didn’t want to go home, so we went down to the falls. i’m down there way too much now lol. that’s the 5th time in a week that i’ve been down there, and i’m not even working yet lol.

so tonight, as i’ve said, dinner with the gang. turns out amanda wanted to go, but we only made reservations for 6 :(. she should have told me. adrienne is making me a cake, cuz my mom was working today and didn’t have time. so she’ll have to come by for cake later. after that though, dunno what’s going on. kurt’s taking carolyn back to canada, and that leaves us here with not much to do. if adrienne ends up buying taboo like she said, it’ll be an exciting night of board games hahaha. yes, board games on my 22nd birthday. and somehow i’m totally fine with that. what does that tell you? lol i’m figuring we end up at danielle’s, taboo or no…

have i ever mentioned how many people i know with the same bday? megan from elementary/high school, this girl who looked like a rat (no lie), mr afshani, beth from geneseo…there was someone else i believe…this is the first year i’ve not been at mcds for my birthday, and haven’t gotten a cake and stuff from them. kinda sad lol.

 

i hate my family. nothing i do is ever fucking good enough for them. it’s a good thing i don’t give a flying fuck what they think of me, or i’d be REALLY upset. they wonder why i dont ever tell them anything. cuz whenever i do, i just get bitched at. fuck it.
