I'm in Tahoe right now with the roomies and two honorary rooms.
We bought some really weird looking candy and made a night of eating and playing games.
The wizard and his tree-hugging bestfriend thought it pretty to leave this experience a hairless statue.
That's all I'll write for now, miss you all.

and i don't think i'll be able to get it before my bday like i wished, but i should be able to get my ears pierced by then.
but i want a tat of a barcode comprised of quotes and nicknames and significant numbers, so here's what i have so far:
and I think i've thought about the quotes for my tattoo, they are:
"real eyes. realize. real lies."
"When the power of love overcomes the love for power, the world will be at peace."
"you are beautiful, but you don't even think of me."
"stripes fly fast past stars."
"datumamore ad defendendum"
and then nicknames:
"minuteman."
"emo boy."
"vovo"
"stickfigure"
"bones"
"white boy"
"vestal"
"fob crew."
"movie night crew."
"/pawa\"
any advice would be great, thanks. |

i'm getting this idea, that this moment should be recorded.
and being how i love journalism, this moment should be recorded in my journal.
and the second word to livejournal, is journal.
and now that i have a moment, this moment, i want to say that i love you guys. |

Goldenrod and the 4H stone
The things I brought you
When I found out you had cancer of the bone
Your father cried on the telephone
And he drove his car into the Navy yard
Just to prove that he was sorry
In the morning, through the window shade
When the light pressed up against your shoulderblade
I could see what you were reading
All the glory that the Lord has made
And the complications you could do without
When I kissed you on the mouth
Tuesday night at the Bible study
We lift our hands and pray over your body
But nothing ever happens
I remember at Michael's house
In the living room when you kissed my neck
And I almost touched your blouse
In the morning at the top of the stairs
When your father found out what we did that night
And you told me you were scared
All the glory when you ran outside
With your shirt tucked in and your shoes untied
And you told me not to follow you
Sunday night when I cleaned the house
I found the card where you wrote it out
With the pictures of you mother
On the floor at the great divide
With my shirt tucked in and my shoes untied
I am crying in the bathroom
In the morning when you finally go
And the nurse runs in with her head hung low
And the cardinal hits the window
In the morning in the winter shade
On the first of March, on the holiday
I thought I saw you breathing
All the glory that the Lord has made
And the complications when I see His face
In the morning in the window
All the glory when He took our place
But He took my shoulders and He shook my face
And He takes and He takes and He take |

i intentionally wrote it out to be, an illegible mess.
you wanted me to write you letters
but i'd rather lose your address.
and to think, that we'd ever met
and what did or did not occur. |

First, I'm glad Obama is president. I've waited for this moment since his speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention and the fall of Kerry.
Finally, we can have hope of a better tomorrow, that our country will be in line with the progression of the world.
Progress, that's what we hope this election is about right?
A new hope, a better tomorrow, but we're not all the way there yet.
I know I'm going to offend believers of the church, but I stopped caring.
I can't believe that this thing looks like it's going to pass.
This isn't just the moral boundaries set upon the bible, this is a backwards moment culturally.
who told whites they were superior a century ago? That those of color were not worthy of marrying a white person, and therefore, illegal?
and who are we in the year 2008 to tell a gay person they are incapable of building a family with the one they love? I don't believe love is exclusive to that of the opposite gender.
why do we fear this? are there sufficient statistical evidence indicating that gay people are incapable of sustaining a family?
I believe in the generations that follow us, they will study tonight's decision like we study the Civil Rights movement 50 years ago. And like us, they will discover that we were, as a whole, ignorant of change.
I get that everyone is ignorant. As a "liberal", I am suppose to be ignorant to the ideas of the "conservatives". I really feel like I am not. I need to hear a genuine argument on why this proposition should be passed.
Many (not all) of these followers believe they are making the morally righteous decision when they voted to ban gay marriage, but don't have problems befriending a gay person.
How can this be? How can you tell your friend that you think enough of him or her to consider them a friend, but feel they are not entitled to the same rights, like marriage, family, and the pursuit of happiness?
This also bugs me on another level, a journalistic one. As a journalism major, I find it necessary to study the past in hopes that we do not repeat our mistakes.
Does anyone remember the plague that is referred to as "yellow journalism"? Basically, with powers over the media, Hearst printed false information which grabbed at American's hearts. While I was on a forum, there were countless ads urging people to vote yes on 8. On it, they had an image of Barack Obama and John McCain with the caption, "at least they agree on something, marriage is between a man and a woman..." This despite Obama's highly publicized criticism of the proposition.
Though this was a historical election, we cannot consider it a progressive one. |

i don't know why i'm writing.
i don't know why i'm even up.
but i've done more thinking and "soul searching" in the last four days then i have in a long time.
and though i'm not there yet, but i have a good feeling it will come.
and i need to edit a ton of my pics that just don't look too appealing.
if someone has an photoshop disc and code for apple and wanted to be super sweet.
i'd love them forever and make all their wildest dreams come true, i heard when you say that people usually say yes.
and good night.
and i think you're a tease. |

"Okay I Believe You, But My Tommy Gun Don't"
i am heaven sent,
don't you dare forget.
i am all you've ever wanted,
what all the other boys all promised.
sorry i told. i just needed you to know.
i think in decimals and dollars.
i am the cause to all your problems,
shelter from cold. we are never alone.
coordinate brain and mouth.
then ask me whats it like to have
myself so figured out.
i wish i knew..
i hope this song starts a craze.
the kind of song that ignites the airwaves.
the kind of song that makes people glad
to be where they are,
with whoever they're there with.
this is war.
every line is about,
who i don't wanna write about anymore.
hope you come down with something
they can't diagnose, don't have the cure for.
holding on to your grudge.
oh its so hard to have someone to love.
and keeping quiet is hard.
cuz you cant keep a secret
if it never was a secret to start.
at least pretend you didn't wanna get caught..
we're concentrating on falling apart.
we were contenders, we're throwing the fight
but i just wanna believe, i just wanna believe,
i just wanna believe, in us.
Oh, we're so c-c-c-c-c-controversial.
we are entirely smooth.
we admit to the truth,
we are the best at what we do.
and these are the words you wish you wrote down.
this is the way you wish your voice sounds,
handsome and smart.
oh my tongue's the only muscle on my body
that works harder than my heart.
and its all from watching tv,
and from speeding up my breathing.
wouldnt stop if i could.
oh it hurts to be this good.
you're holding on to your grudge.
oh it hurts to always have to be honest
with the one that you love.
oh, so let it go..
we're concentrating on falling apart.
we were contenders, we're throwing the fight
but i just wanna believe, i just wanna believe,
i just wanna believe.
we're concentrating on falling apart.
we were contenders, we're throwing the fight
but i just wanna believe, i just wanna believe,
i just wanna believe, in us.
this is the grace that only we can bestow.
this is the price you pay for loss of control.
this is the break in the bend,
this is the closest of calls.
this is the reason your alone,
this is the rise and the fall.
we're concentrating on falling apart.
we were contenders, we're throwing the fight
but i just wanna believe, i just wanna believe,
i just wanna believe.
we're concentrating on falling apart.
we were contenders, we're throwing the fight
but i just wanna believe, i just wanna believe,
i just wanna believe, in us |

i really need to quit smoking.
i went for a run with my rooms last night and barely made it out of the block. i'm not trying to say i ever had this extremely high stamina but that was probably the zenith point of my unhealthy behavior.
besides that, life has been ok.
congratulations to all you guys who have pro-created.
looking forward to halloween, dunno what were doing exactly, but i really want to visit jennie if i get the chance.
take cares everyone. =] |
