my neighbors are having a party in the street in front of my house. it must be exam week. so i guess i can’t go visit cory at the high school anymore. ah well.

so i guess i have to finish cleaning my room today. the only thing left is my makeup table. there’s so much shit on it. and then i get to find places to put all the shit i put into crates. as eric so nicely put it when he came over last night, you have alot of shit. hahah. i might go look for a cd rack today. i want one with shelves, no slots. and i don’t want to pay for it :). right now all the cds i don’t listen to are on the top shelf of my bookcase, but i’d rather just have them all in a thing on the floor. cuz i still have all the cds i actually listen to, plus all my nin cds in different racks still. i need to figure out what to do with all my burned cds that have no holders.

which reminds me, i remembered what i want for my birthday – a cd burner. flat screen monitors are still too expensive.

grrrrrrrrrr detroit!

changed the oil in my car today. ok ok, i mean i watched my dad do it, again. i put the oil in! and i paid for it :(.

so tomorrow is dinner at jack astors. there are 8 of us going now. haha.

nite

 

things i’ve found in my room while cleaning….a continuously updated list
– a picture of my ex neighbor stacey, with jordan churder, at her 10th grade mercy high school formal. lol
– tons of shit that i wonder why it was in my room in the first place
– big ben snow globe
– banks with money!!!! coins, but still!!!
– 84 floatie pens
– a picture of Mr Kotter, and other characters from Welcome Back Kotter, cut out of a magazine lol
– a postcard from my 9th and 10th grade French teacher, Mrs Marcille, from France. dated 1996
– a song i wrote in the early 90s: Livin with a Wedge (yes i’m seriously embarassing myself here)
to the tune of “Livin on the Edge” by Aerosmith
Something wrong with my butt today
Don’t know what it is
Something must be up it
Something’s up everyones
Gods glad not up his (omg rofl)
Definitely not Saturn (?!?!)

Chorus:
Livin with a wedge
You can’t help yourself from picking
Livin with a wedge
You can’t stop yourself at all
Living with a wedge
You can’t stop yourself from picking
Livin with a wedge

Something’s wrong with my butt today
It tickels my anus (OMFG!!!!! i was such a retarded child)
It’s happened to all of us
If you can judge a big crack
But the color of the skin
Then you must be a better wedge than I

Chorus

Tell me what you think about your situation
Complication, Aggravation it’s getting to you

If little wedgie tells you that a hand is commin
even if it wasn’t would you still come crawling
back again, i bet you would my friend, again
and again and again and again

Something’s right with my butt today
and everybody knows its wrong
we can tell them no or we can let them know
but i’d a rather be a pickin on

WHAT THE HELL WAS WRONG WITH ME AS A CHILD! It’s gotta be all the toxic waste around here!!!!!!! *blush* i amaze myself lol

– my pre-calc and calculus journal
– all the snapple caps that i collected
– and oh yeah super. was throwing out all the millions of letters i saved from my penpals over the last 7 years, and found a 5 page letter/note from psycho that he wrote while i was in england in 1997. it was all this shit about how his week sucked, how he kept fighting with his mom because she hated me, how work sucked, and then it just got worse. he went on and on about how much he missed and loved me, and how he doubted that i did. how my email to him from robin’s house was short, but he understands since i needed to get away from home, my parents and him. blah blah blah and then it turned into a note about him being pissed off at me because i came home from my trip and only called him once in the 2 days i’d been home. WHY THE FUCK DID I KEEP THIS!!!!!! he went on and on about how he had to move, and his new job (perkins) would give him health insurance that he could put me on, and when i came home from college i could live with him….etc….i hate him. “well. i didn’t hear or see you today after the shitty day at work. i wish i had. this whole week has sucked. the past week has been a total challenge to our relationship. hecklement, laughed at, and stupid comments from my mom. it tested my patience to the max. i, of course, lost this test. i’ve had to deal with this and the stress from my new job. i’m so tired. i’ll probably sleep until i have to go to work. i have to work mon, weds, sat, sun. with this job i’ll never be able to see you. i hope my troubles weren’t for nothing. i really didn’t want to go through all that shit and find out you’ve fucked around on me. well i’d never find out anyway, would i? you hide yourself well. i love you sara. i hope you behaved yourself. i don’t want my suffering to be in vein………” omgomgomgomgom i hate him “i wish i could have seen you today. i said that earlier to you and you laughed. i see nothing to laugh at. i missed you more than you think. i’ve had to pay for it too. with work i couldn’t leave so i had to deal with it. i know you didn’t miss me much. it showed when you came home. you’ve been home 2 days and you’ve called me once. i hope you didn’t nothing behind my back and your avoiding me. i’ve gone through too much, i almost beat the shit out of my mom over you. it had better been worth it. well i’d better sleep i must catch up on some sleep. ive been so tired. i can’t keep my thoughts together. again i hope this was worth it. remember i love you, you may not anymore. time will tell.”

super. well if anyone still didn’t believe me that i was in a horrible relationship i hope that’s proof enough. i think there are more notes…oh yeah, here’s one where he’s appologizing to me cuz he is such a horrible person. oh and there are more…nothing big. wtf i thought i got rid of them all when we broke up….. yet i can’t find the really 2 hilarious notes from angela and kristen that i knew i kept cuz they were so funny….super.

on a better note
– “our keep list” – i think it’s a list of people from high school we’d keep. now who exactly “we” is i’m not sure… most likely me, adrienne, angela and kim….maybe emily. not sure when this was done either, because i know some of these people i wouldn’t have on my list LOL. there’s only 63 of them.
– an old story about a family reunion i wrote
– dreams from january 1994
– 2 michael jackson jigsaw puzzles – who knew
– my ASVAB marker, from 11th grade, still works
– a little address book full of email addresses of people i don’t know anymore
– a bunch of rolls of coins….one from freshman year in college, that i must have toted back and forth to school with me for the past 4 years.

no more cleaning tonight. room is a disaster. no where to put the crates full of crap that i cleaned up. it looks no better. now i just have lots of empty shelves in my book cases, cuz i threw out all the decorative junk. and my desk is still a cluttered mess because i have no where to put my 4999 posters. so they sit here next to me….oh well

REZNOR: I’m not far from Audubon Park, so I’ll go there just to get out and see human beings, I’ll hit that, or I’ll go to Jean Lafitte Park [on Canal Street], which is just a half hour from here. It’s a straight stretch of highway, so if you take your chances, you can open things up.

yeah we were so totally there, and i was like “i think that’s the park trent goes to”….and he has a green porche, not a black one, but that’s ok cuz we still didn’t see it. i think we saw a total of 1 porche the entire time, and it was a black convertible with 2 old men in it lol.

i got my pictures back, but my dad is installing win xp on the scanner comp so dunno when i’ll get them done. even if i do them tonight, i might not put them up til i get carolyn’s too…which i’d assume would be next week sometime. she said my account of the vacation was correct so i shouldn’t really be adding much to it.

last night went to the mall with eric, cuz he needed to go to ticketmaster. the hot topic opened. it’s rad, radder than the galleria one. they have cds in this one, not like i’d ever buy any there (can you say overpriced)…there are some new fight club pins i want to get, but i’m being cheap lol. i already have the project mayhem one, so i’m wondering if i really need the other 2. hahah.

carolyn should be here anytime. she said she was leaving between 11 and 12, which would mean arriving between 1 and 2. except i figure they’re lost since she got directions from yahoo….i would hope she would recognize at least part of my neighborhood so that they aren’t driving in circles around TF west when i live on east…oh well. probably go back to the mall tonight, cuz she wants preztles from auntie annes, and i told danielle hot topic had a korn shirt she might like…

 

i think i’ve suddenly become lactose intolerant. that’s the basic conclusion as of now. cuz when i eat milk stuff, i feel sick. had milk with dinner, went out with eric, felt sick. went out tonight, got ice cream felt sick. so it’s either that i’m lactose intolerant, or eric makes me sick 🙂 hehehe so if i’m still getting sick after new orleans, i’m getting that lactaid stuff. cuz i cant stop eating ice cream.

but yeah. kurt brought carolyn…they did get lost. we went to fridays with danielle for early dinner/snack, and went to hot topic again and got the pretzels lol. kurt left after that, and we hung here til eric came over and we went to barnes and nobels and the galleria, then the river, and deedees dairy.

off to new orleans tomorrow morning, so see you monday

back from vegas. it rocked. in chicago again now. will be home late late late sunday night so the full story will be up on monday.

new orleans plans are screwed up. not screwed up really, but screwed up money wise…might be changing hotels and stuff. dunno what’s going on. if worse comes to worse it’ll be like 70$ a person…i mean total. not per night LOL. and carolyn, we’d have to ask you to pay… sorry. trying to figure things out so we don’t have to pay but dunno how it’s gonna go. might have to pay for wed and sun night, but get thurs-sat paid for….dunno….

anyway. i’m all screwed up from the time change, i should try to go to bed.

well i think it was pretty guaranteed i’d find a way online from chicago. i’m on my aunts slow ass laptop. it’s got one of those stupid green button mouse things. i hate it. even tho i hate the touch screen mouse things, they are better than the green button things.

anyway…the airport was fun. went through the metal detectors and they wouldn’t let me wear my belt…the metal chain belt. the head security guy who made the ultimate final decision on the belt went to high school with me. we never knew eachother tho. i remembered him (obviously) but he didn’t seem to recognize me at all. anyway, he told me i could go back and check the belt in my luggage, so i went back to the stupid counter, but my luggage had already gone downstairs so i was like forget it and my parents took it. so i had to go through the detectors again, then waited by the gate. and what do you know i’m one of the ppl picked at random to get all my shit searched, and wanded….i don’t care, really i don’t, but comeon now… what am i gonna do?!?!?!? so whatever. the plane landed at OHare early, but we couldn’t go to the gate cuz it wasn’t free yet so we had to wait on the runway for 20 minutes. super.

but anyway. went out to dinner last night, then went to bed at 11, which is 12 my time…got up super early and didn’t sleep that well to begin with. dunno what’s going on today. i should get dressed LOL i guess we’re gonna get lunch, maybe go into the city, dunno.

oh there was this kid on the plane behind me who looked just like Jay McKee, except he was from the south and not tall so obv it wasn’t him. haha. and i must say i LOOOOOVE flying and i want to be a pilot again…

i said i got sunburned. i got weird sunburns. half my neck, a patch where my gown zipped up at the top, my nose, and my left hand and wrist. hahah. good thing most of them aren’t that noticible.

so unpacked and sat around for a while. then got adrienne and drove to the falls to waste a bunch of film in my new camera that my parents gave me for graduation. it’s a nikon SLR (manual and automatic, zoom lens etc). then it started to storm. so we got soaking wet, walking back to the ramp. the lightning was amazing. there was so much – more than i’ve seen in a long time. and we were driving into the storm on the way home so it was a perfect view. it rocked.

took carolyn to the bus station today, and headed back here. mom is annoying me with the packing crap for vegas. but oh well it’s ok. i probably won’t be on again until monday when i get home, unless i find a cheap (aka free) internet terminal at some point in the next 7 days. i might be able to go on from chicago/wisconsin.

i graduated. i am no longer a college student. it was sunny and got sunburned, and it got hot in that black polyester gown…but it was ok. really long, but ok. home now. parents took carolyn and i to dinner, and going to go out later with adr and maybe danielle. time to unpack.

i am so lame. i friggen dreamed about the Doom III trailer because i tried to download it last night to hear Trent’s musical contribution…the download didn’t work, and i gave up. but i dreamed about it. LAME!!!!!! it’s not even that important i was just bored. wouldn’t it be weird if i ended up hearing it and it was the same as in my dream….lol. and i dreamed about john stamos too. that’s 3 john stamos dreams now.

today is the grad rehersal and sunset convocation…at 3 pm…when the sun isn’t even close to setting LOL. but there is champagne so we can just pretend the sun is setting. so i have to all take a shower so i can go out in public. and i slept too long, so i can’t go see dr teres about computer art. hopefully he’ll see my email and leave my portfolio in the photo room for me to pick up.

tomorrows weather is no longer rain. partly cloudy, high 63.

i’m really tired. leah took a picture of me with paige haley hair when i got out of bed haha.

 

computer art proff called…he changed my grade hehehe. he confused me with the other sarah who left things out of her newsletter, and he said he knows i could come in and mount 2 other prints to change the ones he didn’t like, so he’d just go ahead and change my grade. haha go me!! now if only i could have done that for adolescent too.

 

well the rehearsal was actually funny. who knew our dean was so cool. he was wearing a white suit with blue piping and a cowboy hat. and he kept cracking jokes, making fun of us and stuff. it wasn’t our fault we lack the ability to form 4 rows hahaha. and then we pitifully sang the alma matter…lol it was funny.

but of course it had to start raining the minute we stepped outside to go to north side. no one sat down, cuz the seats were all wet. but better today than tomorrow. we went to the champagne convocation and stood there for 15 min before leaving, and they still hadn’t poured the champagne lol. we got glasses that are all etched and stuff.

i’m starving. it’s so icky humid now, and i’m all wet. blah

well i’m not dead. i didn’t even sleep that well so i guess i didn’t have a concussion. but i’ve got a wicked headache now. blah. and my throat still hurts. no idea what i’m going to do today. take the rset of my pictures down and try not to give myself a concussion again. and pick up my grad tickets. and yeah i should have just stayed home.

super. according to rochester weather report today, it’s gonna rain saturday. yaaay!!!!  65 degrees and rain. great.

 

“I was disappointed that you submitted two very similar images in your final portfolio, and, that there were some problems and omissions in the newsletter. I seem to remember some other pieces that would have been a better choice.”

grrrrrrrrrrr. yeah i submitted 2 fire pictures cuz i didn’t like my others…and i know i did every single thing on the newsletter instruction sheet, even tho i didn’t like how it was going to turn out. grrrrrrrrrr. my final college cumulative GPA is a 3.66 which i believe is not high enough for the next highest cum laude thing…grrrrrrrrrrr. actually i looked and it is. so i’m graduating magna cum laude…

so we took a bunch of pictures today, and most i’m not allowed to post haha but here are some

and we went to applebeas for dinner. they played MJ’s “butterflies” and U2’s “kite” while we were there…i got a chocolate martini…*drool* absolute vodka, bailey’s, kaluha, creme de coacau (sp?) and drizzled chocolate…yeah. super yummy. and we stopped at krispy kreme after and got free samples and so then i felt obligated to buy some.. so i bought 2 lemon filled for later.
