She also tried on some pretty-pimp 50's style dresses, which look fab on her.  Woo for shopping.  Grah.  Maybe I am fashioncore, minus all the really expensive clothes.  A watered down fashioncore.  Like loser fashioncore.  Or maybe I just like shoes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have to admit, though, the best part of today was my shower head time.  I am such a horny girl, but damn...that is so good.  I have Wednesday all home alone, too.  In and out of the shower all days, kids.  I guess that makes me terrible, but this is my not giving a flying god damn.  If you try it, you'll see.  Grah, so good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tomorrow I get to school for orientation.  Woo.  I get my student ID taken, so I need to fix up, I guess.  As lame as it is, I care about how I look sometimes.  Plus...meh, I'll be seeing kids I haven't seen in a bit.

Then Dad drove to the gas station by where gorgey Chris works and we picked up some ice creams and cokes.  Yum.  Then we hit the interstate and I drove down to the Wilson County fairgrounds and back, all the way home.  Woo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tomorrow, I am going school shopping with my homie, Sarah.  Perhaps I can persuade my mom to give me some cashola for shoes. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jesus.  This time a week from now, I'll be saying my last goodbyes with Summer.  It's almost over, kids.  I am, for the most part, thankful.  School is the suck, but summer is not so much fun, either.  I didn't even get to sleep in much, and now that I have a week off I am still in the grove of work.

Our cake was full of "fun," known to the public as that cake mix with "confetti" in it, with icing to match.  We wrote (sloppily) a giant sXe on the top of it, and ate a slab of it with our faces.  Yes, our faces, kids.  As on we put a piece on a plate and shoved our faces in.  We have pictures, even.  Sarah's black icing made a Hitler mustasche.  I had cake "buggers" flowing out of my nose.  So in the pictures, we look like Hitler and the Boggie Woman.  Great stuff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Afterwards, we took our two whompin' bottles of Straight Edge non-alcoholic sparkling wine-like beverage.  We proceeded to drink all of their contents whilst watching A Clockwork Orage (for the first time, woo woo) and An American Wearwolf in London.  Clockwork Orange rocked.  It's one of those movies that you're not sure you like or not until it's over and you've had time to reflect on the symbolism and themes.   I like it a lot.  After  I watch it again, I'll write something on here about it to work up my analitical skills again before school starts...in nine days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After the movies (both sickeningly full of female nudity, which I see daily and don't care for so much) we went to my room and crashed after a little bit of talking.  Oh, I had wearwolves in my closet, by the way.  But my sister's inflateable chair kept them at bay, so worry now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first thing Sarah said when she woke up this morning was, "I am so smashed."  Rock on for the Edge drunkeness on sparkling grape juice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Basically, we just had lazy kid cake eating pirateXfashionXhateXcore Edge fun.  And I enjoyed it greatly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My packages also came yesterday.  My stuff from Interpunk and Saddle Creek.  Woo.  It all rocks.  I got free stuff like woah.  Two samplers from Interpunk (one for Krazy Fest-RIP, dreams of rocking hard- and one creepy punk one that I don't much feel like listening to) and stickers from Saddle Creek (two Faint, one Sorry About Dresden).  Also, the coolest part I think, a handwritten thanks from Ryan of The Good Life.  Woo woo.  Sarah said that Ryan, being in a band with Tim, had surely touched Tim, then touched my note, then I touched it, so I have indirectly touched Tim.  I like that idea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sarah sent me this yesterday.  Read.  All of it.  It's funny like woah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;how to be hardcore&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Be tough at all times. &lt;br /&gt;2) Never cheer after a show...only clap. &lt;br /&gt;3) Be open minded in a "punch people" kind of way &lt;br /&gt;4) Only the good hardcore bands have names that are sentences with bad &lt;br /&gt;grammar. Boy Hits Car, Boy Sets Fire, Skycamefalling, Boy Sets &lt;br /&gt;Car-fire. &lt;br /&gt;5) Ankles are tough so bring your socks down into your shoes so we can &lt;br /&gt;see them. &lt;br /&gt;6) Tattoos are tough especially when they are on your calves. See Rule &lt;br /&gt;3 on how to see said tattoo more clearly. &lt;br /&gt;7) Wear your hoody in the mosh pit because sweating like a wild pig &lt;br /&gt;makes you look tough. &lt;br /&gt;8) Don't admit you listen to heavy metal. &lt;br /&gt;9) (Exception to rule 8) Only admit you listen to heavy metal if you &lt;br /&gt;think it is ironic and you wear 80's cheese metal shirts. &lt;br /&gt;10) Be a non-conformist, just like all your friends. &lt;br /&gt;11) Practice hardcore dancing in front of your mirror and then try them &lt;br /&gt;out the next time Atreyu comes to town. &lt;br /&gt;12) A hardcore band is only original if you call it something-core. &lt;br /&gt;Example Screamcore, emocore, Screamocore, mathcore, or Medio-core. &lt;br /&gt;13) Remember, it's fun to punch and kick kung fu style. &lt;br /&gt;14) Keep it in the do-jo. &lt;br /&gt;15) Real hardcore fans are called kids. &lt;br /&gt;16) Complain how hardcore bands are playing with metal bands at all &lt;br /&gt;costs! &lt;br /&gt;17) Have your own zine, website, production company or be in a band. &lt;br /&gt;Claim you are friends with the singer from Shai Halud. &lt;br /&gt;18) Tell people you work in the music industry. &lt;br /&gt;19) More Ankles people! &lt;br /&gt;20) Embrace everybody in the scene except for those people who are not &lt;br /&gt;you. &lt;br /&gt;21) Refer to bands as old school or new school then act tough again. &lt;br /&gt;22) Pretend that you get Dillinger Escape plan. &lt;br /&gt;23) Shop at second hand stores and then go buy expensive shoes. &lt;br /&gt;24) Beat people up and then go to bible study class. &lt;br /&gt;25) Smoking and drinking and having sex before marriage is too trendy. &lt;br /&gt;Real hardcore tough guys abstain. &lt;br /&gt;26) Whatever you do, don't let the singer on stage ever sing in the &lt;br /&gt;mic. Make sure you grab it from him and sing in it yourself, after all, &lt;br /&gt;you do a better job singing then him. It's a wonder they didn't put you &lt;br /&gt;on the album. &lt;br /&gt;27) Start your own hardcore band. &lt;br /&gt;28) Have your logo resemble some random 80's product for nostalgia. &lt;br /&gt;29) Talk about the scene any chance you get. Say as many obscure &lt;br /&gt;hardcore bands from NJ as possible. &lt;br /&gt;30) If you are shy start an emo band so you don't have to look at the &lt;br /&gt;audience. &lt;br /&gt;31) People who know more bands than you are better than you. &lt;br /&gt;32) Add the Letter X before and after important words. XhardcorekidX &lt;br /&gt;XmoshfuckX &lt;br /&gt;33) Never say "Did you hear the new Strung Out?" Unless you are &lt;br /&gt;attempting to be funny in which case stop it because hardcore kids are tough &lt;br /&gt;not funny. &lt;br /&gt;34) It's merch not Merchandise. &lt;br /&gt;35) Hardcore girls must wear head bands at all times. &lt;br /&gt;36) Stretch your ears out to look more intimidating. &lt;br /&gt;37) The bigger you stretch you ears out the more hardcore you are. &lt;br /&gt;38) Your ear should be stretched out enough to accommodate a block of &lt;br /&gt;wood, a hubcap or a penis. &lt;br /&gt;39) People in the front row are best used as a ladder/staircase to &lt;br /&gt;reach your goal...steal the mic away from the singer. &lt;br /&gt;40) When people ask you if you like a band always say "I only like the &lt;br /&gt;old stuff" or "I haven't really gotten into the new stuff". &lt;br /&gt;41) Buy all of that bands merch. &lt;br /&gt;42) Wear your new merch at the next hardcore show. &lt;br /&gt;43) Repeat steps 41 and 42 &lt;br /&gt;44) If you have to wear glasses make sure they are thick, black framed &lt;br /&gt;ones. &lt;br /&gt;45) Don't tell anybody but make sure you try on your new vintage &lt;br /&gt;clothes and stud belt before heading out to see Poison the well. &lt;br /&gt;46) Never admit you don't like Hatebreed and go see them live 12 times &lt;br /&gt;a year. &lt;br /&gt;47) Complain that they are playing with slayer but don't admit you &lt;br /&gt;actually like Slayer. &lt;br /&gt;48) Complain at all costs. &lt;br /&gt;49) Tag team hardcore dancing is cool &lt;br /&gt;50) Real hardcore kids are really struggling photographers. &lt;br /&gt;51) You don't go to hardcore concerts, you go to hardcore shows. BIG &lt;br /&gt;difference. &lt;br /&gt;52) Name your hardcore dance moves things like "The mother fuck" or &lt;br /&gt;"kick that guys ass move" or better yet....stay home and cry. &lt;br /&gt;53) Protect your body from swinging limbs by sacrificing your two arms. &lt;br /&gt;54) Scream about love. &lt;br /&gt;55) All age venues are important so you are not tempted to drink. &lt;br /&gt;56) Claim you know a guy who knows a guy whose best friend was standing &lt;br /&gt;next to the guy who got his ass kicked during Converge. Bash the &lt;br /&gt;hardcore scene and then go see The Get Up Kids. &lt;br /&gt;57) Anytime somebody mentions a band always say you know somebody in &lt;br /&gt;the band. &lt;br /&gt;58)Wear your pins with honour! Shai Halud, American Nightmare, Minor &lt;br /&gt;Threat and the purple heart of valour. &lt;br /&gt;59) Velcro shoes are cool. &lt;br /&gt;60) Don't admit that you have a crush on the singer from Walls of &lt;br /&gt;Jericho. If somebody asks, say you respect her as a musician only. &lt;br /&gt;61) Your band name should contain one of the following words: Blood, &lt;br /&gt;Murder, Kill, Victim and butterfly. &lt;br /&gt;62) Print your band name as if it was on a bad printing press. Actual &lt;br /&gt;graphics are for posers. &lt;br /&gt;63) Sleep on a portrait painted prettier then everyone. &lt;br /&gt;64) 100 bands from around the world to play in your city. All of them &lt;br /&gt;are the world's best hardcore bands. Every label represented, every &lt;br /&gt;hardcore genre present. The venue is the best all-ages venue in the world. &lt;br /&gt;Tickets are $1.00. It is your job to go around saying the festival &lt;br /&gt;should be free. &lt;br /&gt;65) Record producers must make sure to pump the mid because mid is &lt;br /&gt;tough. &lt;br /&gt;66) Re-issue your demos after every album. &lt;br /&gt;67) When the band starts playing everybody join hands and make a big &lt;br /&gt;circle so we can watch the big kids play. &lt;br /&gt;68) Crying on stage makes you a professional. &lt;br /&gt;69) Complain some more. &lt;br /&gt;70) Album covers must be made at home on Photoshop by your good friend. &lt;br /&gt;71) If you are from New York NEVER smile in a promo pic. In fact always &lt;br /&gt;try to cross your arms and look into the camera as if you are going to &lt;br /&gt;beat up whom ever is looking. &lt;br /&gt;72) If you are from New Jersey NEVER smile in a promo pic either. In &lt;br /&gt;fact try to look like you just lost your girl friend to the hardcore band &lt;br /&gt;from New York. &lt;br /&gt;73) Never admit that Emo is Country music lyrics mixed with pop rock &lt;br /&gt;riffs and marketed by 17 year olds trying to make their friend be the &lt;br /&gt;next Dashboard Confessional. &lt;br /&gt;74) American Idol is your worst enemy. (But you voted for Ruben) &lt;br /&gt;75) You can get away with glitter on your face as long as your &lt;br /&gt;stretched ear plugs are clear. &lt;br /&gt;76) Fuck beer, Got breast milk? &lt;br /&gt;77) Bandanas are cool. &lt;br /&gt;78) Bandanas with big X on them are cooler. &lt;br /&gt;79) Bandanas with big X on them were cool last week you poser. &lt;br /&gt;80) Your best friend is a guy named XattackX from Jersey who you chat &lt;br /&gt;with on MSN everyday. He is coming to see you one day. Really. &lt;br /&gt;81) Chunky breakdowns in your songs are original and you should &lt;br /&gt;continue to do them despite every other band doing them which is clearly a rip &lt;br /&gt;off of your band. &lt;br /&gt;82) Judge other bands and always compare them to the socio-cultural &lt;br /&gt;effects of the band Integrity. &lt;br /&gt;83) Look up Socio-cultural in the dictionary and then get offended. &lt;br /&gt;84) Green Day is the real reason you are still alive. &lt;br /&gt;85) Describe your group of friends as "the scene" and then watch &lt;br /&gt;bootlegs of last weeks. &lt;br /&gt;86) Obey the laws of the hardcore scene or forever be banished from the &lt;br /&gt;circle. &lt;br /&gt;87) When somebody asks you what is hardcore respond with "I am &lt;br /&gt;hardcore" then punch somebody in the face for looking at you wrong. &lt;br /&gt;88) Keep punching &lt;br /&gt;89) Kick a little too &lt;br /&gt;90) Punch &lt;br /&gt;91) Add a threat about their mother for good measure. &lt;br /&gt;92) Pretend you are won the fight then pickup your dismembered left &lt;br /&gt;arm. &lt;br /&gt;93) You are wearing the same thing as the 40-year old gas pump &lt;br /&gt;attendant but for some strange mystical reason you are cooler than he is. &lt;br /&gt;94) Tell everybody that Trustkill Records are too trendy. &lt;br /&gt;95) Did you stop acting tough? I saw you hug that teddy bear. &lt;br /&gt;96) Pierce you tits and tattoo your body. &lt;br /&gt;97) Straight bangs means straight-edge &lt;br /&gt;98) Being vegan means you can't swallow sperm. &lt;br /&gt;99) When in doubt Mock everything &lt;br /&gt;100) Take everything personally. &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5512932-105984372946321166?l=llftm.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5512932/posts/default/105984372946321166'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5512932/posts/default/105984372946321166'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://llftm.blogspot.com/2003_08_01_archive.html#105984372946321166' title=''/><author><name>Christen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04206474303748430605</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512932.post-105976207020124669</id><published>2003-08-01T11:21:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2003-08-01T11:25:36.450-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'> &lt;IMG SRC="http://www.fortunecity.com/tinpan/johnette/337/sxelogo.gif"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HAPPY BIRFDAY, MOTHER FUCKERS!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am one today.

TWO days right in a row.  TWO days waisted, other than rocking with Sarah.  Terrible time, kids.  Let's tell a story.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I scramble around to get ready.  Fix it up with Chris, convince my mom+family that they HAVE to go see a movie, fix my hair, brush my teeth twice, get my shoes on, fix stuff up with Sarah, get Abs to come along and get out of her pitty pool, get out the door, get there.  We were a little early, so we went to look for Josh to pass the time.  No cigar.  went back to look.  No Chris cigar, either.  So to pass the time, we look at sex books.  How terrible.  And all this time, mind you, I am sweating because I am hot and nervious.  So we look again, and still no Chris.  We wander some more, waste some more time, go back, STILL no Chris.  So, depressed at getting stood up twice, we head to the pizza place for pizza, but realize that we can't get pizza AND sundays, so we opt for just sundays at the expensive chocolate place.  Warm brownie sundays.  Thank god for chocolate.  So we're all crazy and laughing and crazier, then mom comes to get us with the kids because their movie is done.  Tell her about the standing up, she now hates one of my favourite kids.  Walk down to get Clay's shoes, mom takes forever and is an ARSE about it.  Then we walk back towards the theatre, and I stop in at Journey's to show mom my shoes.  JESUS GOD, if there is not Josh and all his hott core kid friend.  And I freak out, kind of, because of Josh's orgasm sexyness.  And I comment to Sarah, and MOM hears and starts asking very, very loudly "Who's Josh?  Who's Josh?"  So we skirt out real fast, and I am SO embarassed, because you know how scene kids are.  we skirt into Pac Sun, and I get my bag, then we skirt out, and I feel like shit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I still feel like shit.  I love Chris.  He's one of my favourite guy pals.  And he does this to me, and it's amplified by mom's stupidity.  Call me a stupid teen, and then suck my cock.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hate being ditched.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I need to wack, it makes things better.  It does.  It releases endorphins.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chris emailed me. He had car trouble, he says.  I hope he really does, and is not just trying to avoid me.  I don't think he is, because he's been there for me for a lot of stuff.  He's a good kid, really.  He's just...a boy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hate boys.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5512932-105968919745647171?l=llftm.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5512932/posts/default/105968919745647171'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5512932/posts/default/105968919745647171'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://llftm.blogspot.com/2003_07_01_archive.html#105968919745647171' title=''/><author><name>Christen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04206474303748430605</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512932.post-105966830522724281</id><published>2003-07-31T09:18:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2003-07-31T09:18:25.266-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Chris had to work, he got called in yesterday, he didn't mean to stand us up.

Growl.  Oh well.  Time for a stomping, when school rolls around.  Hey ho, give me a high five.  Meh, he prolly just had to work early or something.  We'll see.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But never fear, because tomorrow all of my family minus me is going ot the wave pool, leaving ME alone in the house, and we ALL know what that means...showerhead.  Yes, my friends, both Sarah and my new addiction.  Forgive me for going into detail, but I have to.  It's so great.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A good showerhead can outdo a guy.  Not that I would know firsthand, but I am pretty sure.  O after O after O, kids.  Orgasm, orgasm.  We have a massage setting on ours, and give me a god damn (god damn) because it's fab.  That, on one's C-word....grah.  Makes of get very, very, very loud and squirm all over the place.  It's can't-stand-up-for-a-long-time-afterwards good.  Sarah's recipe:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Add:&lt;br /&gt;One Showerhead&lt;br /&gt;One Special C Word&lt;br /&gt;15 Hard-to-find Free Minutes&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Throw in a dash of Weak-in-the-knees &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;End Result:&lt;br /&gt;My new addiction&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I thinkthat I am going to take a few...creative liberties.

Sarah, just to me sure, so therefore correct me if I am wrong, I am getting, for you, dear Sarah, whom is almost 16, or will be shortly into September:&lt;br /&gt;~The beautiful, wonderful I Hate Myself CD, with "ten" songs, which actually equal eleven.&lt;br /&gt;~The Cursive "Art is Hard" shirt in black, size...small?

If your life were a movie, what would the title be?&lt;br /&gt;Hum.  I don't know so much.  Maybe something that hinted at the angst-filled lives that I and my best mate Sarah lead.  I always fall back on it, but "The Angst Rock Empire" is oh-so-much fun.  Maybe something like "With Clenched Fists Raised."  Maybe.  I don't know.  Something that spoke of angst, love, sex, and other such wonderful teen-year things.  I guess it would just be a day in the life, nothing beautiful gained or destroyed kind of thing.  What is that kind of stuff called?  Oh shit...it's some kind of drama that is used in theatre, and all the old farts hate it because they don't understand it...fuck.  I can't remeber.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. What songs would be on the soundtrack?&lt;br /&gt;Bright Eyes, like woah.   Something Vague fo sho, perhaps Neely O'Hara because it's backwards sound would be great to use during the greatly confusing ways of every day life.  Most anything Bright Eyes, more or less.  Cursive, because it's full of both passion and anger, The Faint, because it oozes sex.  From Autumn to Ashes because it's beautiful, but the beauty is hidden in the roughness of the screaming vocals, much like I thing myself to be beautiful inside though consealed in a none-to-pretty body.  Coldplay's Scientist or maybe Clocks because I play piano songs in my head during lots of times during the day.  I Hate Myself...That one song that goes "Sixy watts brighter than my future, an empty fourty fuller than my life.  There must be more, but sometimes I don't think so. Maybe I'm right.  Maybe there's no such thing as 'Brighter Side.'  A sultry night, stare at the moon from rooftops.  Broken engines, boys that never drive.  I pour my heart out to a god that doesn't listen.  You said you'd save me.  You said you'd always love me but you LIED."  Great song.  Very...great.  That might just be the main theme, even.  It goes on, too.  I wish I could find the lyrics somewhere to share.  It's fab.  Emotion supressed, then screamed, then supressed again only to burst out once more.  Brill, brill.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Would it be a live-action film or animated? Why?&lt;br /&gt;Again, hum. Don't know.  Either is good.  You can capture so many moving and real images with live-action, but animated would rock, too, because you could add in things that would not work in live-action.  You have more freedom in animation.  Maybe a combination of both.  Live-action backgrounds and animated characters.  Hum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Casting: who would play you, members of your family, friends, etc?&lt;br /&gt;I would play me.  Sarah would play herself, my greatest friend.  My family would play their crazy selves as well.  I would cast people as the people they are.  I have grown up around "actors."  They suck.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Describe the movie preview/trailer.&lt;br /&gt;Enter that one I Hate Myself song.  That would be the only background sound, just the music.  And then I would be walking down the street, or maybe down the hall at school, dressed drabbly like usual.  The people around me would be doing things.  Fun things.  Sad things.  Terrible things.  Sweet things.  Like...just differnt stuff, but stuff that is important or influential or monumental.  Like snogging, or shooting someone, or weeping, or having sex, or singing, or dancing.  Things that people do that are important and beautiful, or terrible, or whatever.  But all that would be happening, and there I would be, just walking, doing nothing.  Blank, as per usual.  And that would go on, and then I would open a door and be in a blank grey room, the song would end, and it would flash the name or whatever of my flim.  Woo.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5512932-105934585980237485?l=llftm.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5512932/posts/default/105934585980237485'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5512932/posts/default/105934585980237485'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://llftm.blogspot.com/2003_07_01_archive.html#105934585980237485' title=''/><author><name>Christen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04206474303748430605</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512932.post-105918484921605129</id><published>2003-07-25T19:00:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2003-07-25T19:00:49.106-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Christmas in July=pretty damned cool.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My presents rock like woah.  Every Day and Every Night is the best Bright Eyes ever.  It's so amazing, it makes me want to cry.  The music is great, the lyrics are great...it's just great.  Beautiful.  Beautiful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So we made cookies.  Sugar and gingerbread.  Pretty spiff.  I made a few pretty ones, but they all got burned.  The table was a floury mess, which is always fun, and my skirt now has flour all over it.  It's ok, because laundry day is tomorrow.  Woo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dad came home early with cokes and stuff, and we got drinks and opened our presents.  Mom got the family Trivial Persuit Junior and some really hard version of the same game, which is spiff to play.  I usually lose, but oh well.  As I said, my CD rocks like woah.  Everyone got cool stuff.  Woo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then we ate spaghetti, and drank more coke.  Yum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Around 5:00 we split for downtown, aiming to go to the Frist Center.  Ok, the Frist is the stink.  If ever down here, don't go.  It's stupid.  It would have been cool if the art was good and there were not five hundred people walking around with beer or wine or other suck distasteful things.  Dumb art kids.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So that was the suck, and the drive home was also the suck, and my melodramatic sister got upset because Clay touched her.  So now she's walking around saying "I am depressed."  Yeah.  Clay is the favourite, and doen't get in trouble.  Get over it, tourtured soul emo kid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So now we're home, and I plan to go get some more cookies after I get off, and also some organic chocolate milk, and I'll curl up with my German summer reading book.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I feel so...whole.  *smiles softly*  And I like it.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5512932-105918484921605129?l=llftm.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5512932/posts/default/105918484921605129'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5512932/posts/default/105918484921605129'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://llftm.blogspot.com/2003_07_01_archive.html#105918484921605129' title=''/><author><name>Christen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04206474303748430605</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512932.post-105915577250685677</id><published>2003-07-25T10:56:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2003-07-25T10:56:12.380-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Hurray for anime quizzes!  I don't much watch the real stuff, but the quizzes combat boredom!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://ydoc.myagora.net" target="new"&gt;&lt;font face="verdana" color="666666"size="0"&gt;&lt;img src="http://anime1.ydoc.myagora.net/quizes/hentai/kiddy.gif" border=0&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font face="verdana" color="666666" size="0"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://ydoc.myagora.net" target="_blank"&gt;Quiz Title&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="http://anime1.ydoc.myagora.net/quizes/hentai/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;font face="verdana" color="666666" size="0"&gt;&lt;a href="http://ydoc.myagora.net" target="new"&gt;&lt;img src="http://anime1.ydoc.myagora.net/quizes/hue/purple.gif" border=0&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://ydoc.myagora.net" target="_blank"&gt;What anime hue are you?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://ydoc.myagora.net" target="new"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font face="verdana" color="666666" size="0"&gt;&lt;img src="http://anime1.ydoc.myagora.net/quizes/ASeries/Boogiequiz.jpg" border=0&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font face="verdana" color="666666" size="0"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://ydoc.myagora.net" target="new"&gt;Find out what anime series  you belong in.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.liquid2k.com/ydoc/" target="new"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://tinysworld.keenspace.com/quiz.html" target="new"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://tinysworld.keenspace.com/images/Playfulquiz.jpg" border=0&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You're the cat  of Tiny's World!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://tinysworld.keenspace.com/quiz.html" target="new"&gt;What Tiny's World character are you?.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font face="verdana" color="666666" size="0"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://ydoc.myagora.net" target="new"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://other.ydoc.myagora.net/quizes/Animal/fox.jpg" border=0&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*clever*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://ydoc.myagora.net" target="new"&gt;What fuzzy creature are you?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font face="verdana" color="666666" size="0"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table width="300" border="1" cellspacing="2" &lt;br /&gt;      cellpadding="0" bgcolor="#000000" height="200" &lt;br /&gt;      bordercolor="#FF31C2"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;tr&gt; &lt;br /&gt;      &lt;td&gt; &lt;br /&gt;      &lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://other.ydoc.myagora.net/quizes/goth/Cute.gif" width="250" &lt;br /&gt;      height="150"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;font color="#FF31C2"&gt;&lt;a href="http://ydoc.myagora.net" &lt;br /&gt;      target="_blank"&gt;&lt;font color="#FF00CC"&gt;What &lt;br /&gt;      Goth Are You?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;/td&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Ha ha ha, I am NOT Goth.

It's a shit sandwitch.  Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can hear it now, yes I can, I can, I can, I can...I can hear it now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bright Eyes.  Good shit, kids.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I feel slightly not so good today.  Firstly, I am dog tired.  Staryed up late last night talking with my little six foot tall sister and her friend Kelsi about everything under the moon...friends, politics, world peace, religion, and, of course, sex.  Well, not sex.  I reserve that for my best friends.  They had lost of cute little kid questions about period and oral sex.  It's sad when you have to explain oral to your 13 year old sister.  Talked til 1 in the morning.  Didn't brush my teeth before I crashed.  Must brush teeth now...and floss...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Done.  Brushed, flossed, and mouth washed.  Thank god for dental hygeine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, bushed.  Dog tired.  Even at work, I slept like two hours before the boys woke up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I just feel bummed.  Meh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Talking to Chirs.  He's such a great kid.  We're talking about boyfriends.  Or rather, I am, and he's advising me.  He thinks Colin "seems like a match" for me.  He's his best friend, he'd know.  I don't know.  I want a hands on boyfriend, just not right now.  And even if I did set my sights on Colin, I'd have to make lie to him a lot.  He hates me because of Sarah, so I'd have to lie to him about who I am.  I'm a good little liar, but it makes me feel poopy.  So after I lie to him about who I am and get him to take me to a show or something, he'd have to find out who I really was.  Chris said that even Colin couldn't deny how cool I am, which made me blush, but I don't know.  That's like...I couldn't do that.  Maybe I'll just give him some more time to cool off about me as I cool off myself about other such things, and then maybe once I am settled into the new school year I can both with him.  Until then I will just have to deal with being alone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bored, bored.

Nice night.  There's a way beautiful sunset just finishing up outside the window by the computer desk.  Very fab.  Pinks and purples.  Beautiful, beautiful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I finished my summer reading projects for English.  They're both terrible, but they're done.  They're each over 1000 word count.  I think my Death of a Salesman work is 1,300 andmy Ender's Game is 1,900.  Not bad, but it's a lot of BS and fluff.  It's done, though, and that is all that matters.  Now, onward with my German shit.  And I do mean shit.  It's summer, so I am going to BS everything.  Eff this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I like the books, mostly.  Ender and All Quiet on the Western Front rock.  I'm not completely intellecually dead, I guess.  I can admire All Quiet's brilliant writing and Ender's fun, unique plot.  My literary merit still upholds.  I'm maybe almost perhaps halfway proud of myself.  But not at all, really.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two more weeks of work.  Three more weeks til school.  This time, three weeks from now, I will either be ranting about how cool my teachers are or ranting about how stupid my teachers are.  Or perhaps I'll be ranting about my friend-filled classes or extremely lonely lunch periods.  Or maybe how spread out my classes are or the superb locale of my locker.  Or the sexiness of new male beasts in school, of which there are bound to be many.  THAT would be niiiiice, with 5 I's.  Or maybe Scalf will die sadly at the hands of real emo kids, and I'll throw a party.  Who knows what this year will bring.  I know that I plan to kick it up a notch and work, so that when college come oh-so-soon, I am somewhat ready.  Gotta flush the slacker out of me.  Or at least some of it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tiddle, diddle.  Bored like woah.  And wishing mom and dad would go away.  I vant to be eh'lone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My computer's old, it's colour's fucked...woah, edited Bright Eyes moment.  Anyway, my computer, who is old, is not playing my CD right.  Die, commie, die!  Ah, it must have understood my threat.  It's working now.  Kathy With a K.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you just cast of your doubts, then your lips would answer for you: "Oh my darling, when you smile it is like a song, and I can hear it now."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and now the music died.

When was the last time you cheated?&lt;br /&gt;I had a "relationship" with Greg (aka, nothing happened because he repulsed me) while having one with Joe, too.  That was toward Christmas time of last year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. When was the last time you stole?&lt;br /&gt;I don't think I have ever stold anything, save a peice of candy when I was like,  3. I had to pay for it, too, when mom found out.  I've tried to steal stuff, but I can't bring myself to do it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. When was the last time you lied?&lt;br /&gt;Recently, to myself.  And it hurts.  And is still hurting.  And I am regretting things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. When was the last time you broke or vandalized another's property?&lt;br /&gt;Hum.  I have never done anything major.  If throwing a gum wrapper in Kelly's oh-so-perfect plant display in her window, then that.  Sometime I break Clay's stuff because he's a re-re.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. When was the last time you hurt a loved one?&lt;br /&gt;Ha ha ha, so fitting.  I think it was actually on Friday.  Maybe Thursday.  But I think it was Friday.  That's when I was supposed to do this, but I forgot.  I hurt Joe.  A lot.  A lot.  A lot.  I think so, at least.  That's what I gathered.  And I feel so terrible, no matter how badly I want not to.  Sarah would kick me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5512932-105873828311815726?l=llftm.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5512932/posts/default/105873828311815726'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5512932/posts/default/105873828311815726'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://llftm.blogspot.com/2003_07_01_archive.html#105873828311815726' title=''/><author><name>Christen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04206474303748430605</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512932.post-105873687749351735</id><published>2003-07-20T14:34:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2003-07-20T14:34:37.500-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Today, I am bored.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sarah is at her mum's place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No one is online, save Jimmy James, who is bragging about getting a 5 on his AP test.  He studied a lot.  if I had studied at all (as opposed to just pretending to study) I would have gotten a 5, too.  Oh well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm trying to work on my summer reading, and I did a good bit of it.  My restrictions for my novel are a lot more lax than those for my play, so that makes it easier, but my mind is still mush.  Above all, I secretly don't care to much for doing this assignment and just want to get it the hell over with it.  So secretly I don't care.  So now you know.  As much as I care, I really don't give a fuck at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I keep playing with my away messages.  I'm such a dork.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hum.

I think Mom'll pitch in for a new pair of shoes (the ones I want are on sale for all of 30 bucks) and a pair or so of pants.  I think I can handle it.  I'm almost at $1,000 in my savings account, and that was my goal for this summer, so I'll just deposit the remaining 40 or so bucks and then use the rest for school stuff.

I love it, and am singing it now along with my mix CD from Sarah.  It's all piano-y and beautiful.

I hate myself sometimes.  I'm going to mess up my makeup now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Talking to Joe.  Some things hurt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm supposed to go driving today.  Might not.  Who knows.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Showed Abs her presents.  She digs them.  I'm wearing my cords and my new earrings and a frown.  Tears soon, perhaps.  Maybe not.  I guess I am unfeeling, or have finally gotten good at not crying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sarah's probablly out with James having fun, perhaps having sex.  Gogo Sarah.  Heh.  Use the blue sin well, my little friend.  Use it well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can't much say how I feel now.  Not like it really matters, but I wish I could put a finger on it.  I have the beginning of tears trapped in the upper portion of my ribs, and I am cold.  My fingers are a little shakey and I feel almost as if I could fall apart.  The tears made it up to my eyes, they're just brimming there.  It's an odd feeling.  I don't want to cry, I can't bring myself to do it.  I know that I am on a timed schedual.  In about thirty minutes I have to get off the computer so Dad can clean up the files.  After that, I have to wait a little while, then I am off to drive.  Come back home, eat dinner, brush my teeth, watch a little TV until 10, then go to bed, pretend to sleep, and start over again on Sunday.  No where in that does it say "Cry downstairs and ruin your makeup while singing along with Colourblind."  But I guess I made room.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Call me skilled.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I never thought someone I didn't know would end up meaning anything to me.  I'm not exactly the most...I don't know.  I'm not one to dream like that.  I'm not one to put myself into the hands of something I can't touch, be it god or a man or hopes for the future.  I'm just not that kind of kid, because in the past it's proved to be a stupid thing to do.  It ends in a face of snot and tears on the floor.  It's not worth it, or wasn't, to me.  And then, like some stupid teenage nothing that I am, I put all of me into one boy, one whom I have never seen, never touched or smelled.  In the first place, it was just out of boredom and...I don't know.  I don't understand myself.  But I started to really like the kid, you know?  Like really like him, because he's a cool fun guy.  Not really a smart kid, but cool.  There's more important things that smarts.  Caring.  Kindness.  All that good stuff.  So I liked the kid.  Put so much of myself into him and "us" over the time span of a year.  Now and then, frequently, I'd doubt it all.  My logical mind kicked in.  You don't love that kid, Christen.  It won't work, you're waisting you emotion.  Stop it now before you let you hurt yourself.  I battled it off, though.  I can do that sometimes, when I am not being flighty and stupid, I can apply it to anything.  Stick with it for so and so long, because it's good for you.  Like eating peas, or something.  And there were times when I really did want to stick to it, when I believe it us and we and all that good stuff.  Times when I craved it.  Lots of times.  I needed, wanted it.  Because I held it, you know, if only in a twisted, partial way.  But little stuff bothered me.  I was envious of Sarah's relationship with James.  I was afraid of my future, because said boy dropped out of high school, which is actually something I hate very much in anyone.  I hated, and still hate, not being able to know this person I loved physically.  it seemed surreal.  Internet relationships are stupid, and I felt and feel stupid for having one. Very stupid.  I'm not a dreams person.  I'm a touch person.  A hands-on, reality person.  Look what I went and did.  But now, I feel like I am losing all of me, that whole part of me that I put into this kid.  Like I am losing myself.  It's almost like a divorce, I guess that's how this feels.  Or selling your soul for something less, a deal you know will hurt you so much, but one you mke anyway.  And there's this feeling of knowing I am hurting someone so much, knowing it's all my fault, all mine and no one else's.  It's like killing a child, almost.  Or an animal you loved for a long time.  And yourself.  Maybe all at once.  I don't know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think it was a good thing.  Maybe.  I hope it was, because I did it.  I broke all of this shit.  Shattered it with well calculated, tired words.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*laughs*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear god.  I am a screwed up child.  Maybe I need some secret religion to medicate my soul.  Or a bottle of wine.  Ha ha ha.  Ha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jesus.  I feel like so many songs now.  Disjointed.  Shoved together.  Broken apart again, and then matched up with new pairs.  A double-shattered record, pasted back together.

Sarah gave me a mix CD to help me cope with things I am doing to a certain person (more or less, or maybe just for the sake of music) which I wanted to listen to, but Momwas driving and abhores hardcore, so we stuck with the Faint's sexual melodies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After about a lap and a half around the circle that is Opry Mills, Sarah brought up going to see the movie How to Deal.  It sounded like a brill idea, so we headed towards the theatre and bought out tickets.  Because we are cheep, we also smuggled in bottles of Coke to drink.  The movie was fairly good, and I have to admit, I actually like Mandy Moore.  She's a pretty ok kid, it seems, and I have to admire her hair.  It's beautiful.  During the corse of the movie, Sarah and I cracked various jokes, Sarah herself pulling a joke that made both of us laugh lots.  There was one part in the movie where the main character was very sad, and was sitting alone crying out in her back yard.  I made a comment about cutting and listening to emo, and sang a snatch of some old Pedro the Lion, a line that goes "You know I want to be like Jesus," and then made motions of cutting my wrists.  Sarah improved this by making the motions of slamming nails into her wrists, then sang the Jesus bit.  We laughed, and made neucences of ourselves.  I love Sarah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also while in the movie, my Mom called and said that my AP Bio test results had come in the mail.  &lt;i&gt;Great,&lt;/i&gt; I thought.  &lt;i&gt;Let's see how badly I have failed.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I passed, it turns out, and with a 4 of 5.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After the movie, we just kind of wandered around and yapped about nothing in general.  Snippets of Joe conversation, James things, talk of Sarah's upcoming birthday (I love giving presents, I can't wait!), cramps which were plageing me, and random bypassing men.  It was fun.  I got my sister's Christmas in July prsent, a nice little Dickie's messenger bad in kacki cord and a pack of hankies to go in it.  It's a new offical Randall Family holiday.  Fun stuff.  I also go myself some earings and apair of brown cords from Old Navy, and bought Sarah and myself some pizza from the pizza place.  I got a stunningly good orange and pineapple juice.  New fave drink.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While digging through my purse for my Pez lip gloss, exposing my huge orange pad I am carrying since I am on my period, I heard a voice from behind me.  Turning around, I saw that it was Michael Brandon.  I felt as if I could cry.  Michael is a very nice looking boy that I secretly fancy (though I a-have no chance with and b-am not really interested in, but just find nice looking), and he was one of my AP Bio mates.  He and I are the creators of the comic stip, The Adventures of Catpiss Boy.  Good times, my friends.  So I looked like a doof, all giddy with joy at seeing him and at the fact that he thinks enough of me to come and say hello even out of school, but I didn't care.  I love Michael, too.  I can't wait for school to start again.  Perhaps I'll have classes with him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After a rousing (truthfully) look at the sex books in Barnes and Nobles, we headed outside to wait for Sarah's dad to come get us.  Richie, her little brother, and one of his friends happened to hop to the mall, and were also getting a ride with us.  We talked for a few.  Richie is a poseur, but he's an all right kid.  He just needs some help, in addition to breaking away from his horid grease bucket of a girlfriend.  She brings him down, because Richie is a witty, cool kid, and Ta-abitha (a loving nick name I have given her) is none to bright.  Oh well.  I want to befriend Richie at school next year.  He's nice, and is my only tie to my best friend that I have at McGavock.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So that was my afternoon.  I really do love Sarah above all, no matter what my worn-out brain told me a few days ago.  I feel silly for doubting her.  We just have so much fun together, and I just need to get over myself.  I am not the only person in the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Overall, I feel much happier now.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5512932-105858133752180302?l=llftm.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5512932/posts/default/105858133752180302'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5512932/posts/default/105858133752180302'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://llftm.blogspot.com/2003_07_01_archive.html#105858133752180302' title=''/><author><name>Christen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04206474303748430605</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512932.post-105849799473239295</id><published>2003-07-17T20:13:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2003-07-17T20:13:14.800-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Please, for the love of God, enjoy some bad poetry.  *bows*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had a dream&lt;br /&gt;in which you and I stood&lt;br /&gt;side by side on a black sand beach,&lt;br /&gt;hands clasped like shackles.&lt;br /&gt;Clouds filled the sky&lt;br /&gt;in a sudden whispering rush,&lt;br /&gt;and rain began to pour down&lt;br /&gt;as the sun sank from the sky.&lt;br /&gt;Oppressive sheaths of water poured over us&lt;br /&gt;and as the night wore on,&lt;br /&gt;a hateful fight between the unchangeable,&lt;br /&gt;we broke apart&lt;br /&gt;and were washed away&lt;br /&gt;in the torrents of waves.&lt;br /&gt;I watched myself drown&lt;br /&gt;to wash ashore alive again&lt;br /&gt;where a beautiful picture awaited me:&lt;br /&gt;I was alone,&lt;br /&gt;and the sun was rising&lt;br /&gt;against a pink sky.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5512932-105849799473239295?l=llftm.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5512932/posts/default/105849799473239295'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5512932/posts/default/105849799473239295'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://llftm.blogspot.com/2003_07_01_archive.html#105849799473239295' title=''/><author><name>Christen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04206474303748430605</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512932.post-105848073987866567</id><published>2003-07-17T15:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2003-07-17T15:25:39.913-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>I really do hate Tyler.

I, Christen G. Randall, Miss Obsessive Compulsive Teeth Cleaner?  I brush my teeth at LEAST 3 times a day.  Yet I got a cavity.  Fuck it all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was going to do some creative writing, but I finished it and am not sharing.  Sorry.  get over it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also finished my Death of a Salesman summer work and am ashamed of myself.  My writing is terrible.  Even thinking about it now makes me want to cry.  I just feel so fucking inadequate.  I am a fucking fake.  I know it.  I can't write, I can't analize literature.  People know me for this stuff, people get pissy at me for being good at it.  And it's not what I'm good at.  I'm a C-work paper and a bloody return away from ruin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm effing sobbing right now and using Jimmy James via AIM as a shrink.  I'm full of mental problems.  I really miss all my school friends, and feel terrible for pushing them away.  I want to call Michelle.  Or maybe even Crazy Lauren.  We'd make a sight, eh?  Two crazies.  She's on drugs for her crazy, though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jesus.  I am goingon friend deprivation.  I need more support than i thought I did.  I wish I hadn't pushed everyone away.  Why did I?  I'm such an ass.  Such an ass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I said sorry to Jimmy James for dumping him off like I did.  And he says he doesn't hate me.  Honestly.  And I think I believe him, because I can.  And I think that once I calm down I'll call Michelle and say sorry, too.  And maybe even William and Crazy Lauren, and perhaps even Greg.  He's no boyfriend, but he's not to bad friendwise.  And I'll get in touch with Elisabeth, and Ali, and maybe even Crazy Michael K.  And Michael B, and John.  And Justin.  Oh dear god, I miss Justin.  I'll call him.  Maybe he's over his girlfriend and we can hang out like we used to when we were both a little more innocent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gee.  Today's been terrible.  Today's been beautiful. Today's been an eye-opener.  And now I can move on.  Or at least try.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think I am going to go talk to my mom.  Or perhaps fix my C-grade writing.  But tonight deserves a good, long, hot lavender bath.

Here.  Friday Five, on Saturday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Do you remember your first best friend? Who was it?&lt;br /&gt;Logan.  He was my best friend, even.  We talked Ninja Turtles like woah all the time.  We even at one point did our own little version of "I'll show you mine if you show me yours."  We peed on eachother's shoes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Are you still in touch with this person?&lt;br /&gt;Kind of.  We get together about once a summer and hang out.  He's 18 now, and have a steady girlfriend whom he fucks a lot.  *sighs*  Well, at least he won't spy on me like he did back in like, 7th grade.  He used to watch me change into my bathing suit to swim in his pool because I have big breasts.  silly boy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Do you have a current close friend?&lt;br /&gt;No, never.  I have no friends, especially not a best one called Sarah Elizabeth Joan Ferguson, PirateCore Kid of Glee.  There is no way that I have anyone whom I go panty shopping with, or whom I giggle about boys and sex with, or whom helps me get through things.  Never.  No, Sarah, the best person in the world, is certianlly not my closest friend.  But I'm lying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. How did you become friends with this person?&lt;br /&gt;Gee, I can't even much say.  Sarah and I just kind of clung to eachother after a period of time in which we hated eachother for a reason neither of us recall.  We just kind of happened, and helped eachother become who we are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Is there a friend from your past that you wish you were still in contact with? Why?&lt;br /&gt;Hum...let's see.  I've never been one to have many friends.  I'm a dork kid.  I'd have to say Michael Miller.  He was one of my first good friends that I made in public school, and was part of my core group of friend that I still hang out with.  Michael, however, had to move to one of the Carolinas becase his parents split up.  He only told me the day before.  I guess he was afraid to hurt me or something.  But then, bam, the next day he was packing up his locker and taking himself away, leaving me with only the memory of his uberly cool blue jacket and a face full of tears mingled with snot.  I cried all through the school day, and called my mom saying that I had a stomach ache so she'd pick me up.  We went out to lunch, and I sobbed the whole way through, my hed leaned on the stone wall of the Chineese resurant's wall.  There was a special depth in the eleavator-esqu house music that day.  Michael and I emailed a few times, and he tried to call me once but I was out.  We just fell appart.  I wish we had stuck together.  He was an indie kid, before I knew what it was.  I miss him now.  How sad.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5512932-105806007088431254?l=llftm.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5512932/posts/default/105806007088431254'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5512932/posts/default/105806007088431254'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://llftm.blogspot.com/2003_07_01_archive.html#105806007088431254' title=''/><author><name>Christen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04206474303748430605</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512932.post-105804597333883197</id><published>2003-07-12T14:39:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2003-07-12T14:39:33.340-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>I called Michelle and left a message on her machine:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Hey, Michelle.

Our movie, Pirates, rocked.  It was a semi-orgasmic experiance that caused squeaking and tingling in girly parts.  I want to have pirate sex with Jack Sparrow, he's dead hot. Sarah burned me a fabby mix CD, that I am listening to now.  We have a good panties store, which I might have to visit to get this fabby shorts-bra match set.  Sarah and I are really gay boys shoved into the molds of two slightly odd teen girls.  Sex talk ensued over dinner, over the table after dinner, down the corridor after dinner, into various stores, and finally outside...it never really stopped all the way.  And because Sarah hearts James and has a hott date with him Friday and because I am alergic to latex, I "shared" my blue sin with her.  It's now in her hands.  May she use it well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I never was really banned from Sarah.  I couldn't see her, that's true, but I was never really taken away from her.  It wasn't just the illegal phone calls or other means of real contact.  Sarah and I are, reguardless of anyone, sisters.  We always will be.  Forever.  We're connected (perhaps through our being horny teen-age pirate robots, etc) no matter what we go through, and I have realized that now.  We've been through a near year of asstrangement (between 9th and 10th grade years), Flordia (which Sarah...fondly...calls "Hell") and being punished from each other for my mother's over active imagination, and we've indured.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sarah, I love you.  Forever and a pirateXcore (arrr) day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other news (that is really not important, but still kind of important, but not really...)&lt;br /&gt;~I'm reading Ender's Game (Orson Scott Well) and am in love with it.&lt;br /&gt;~I have tomorrow and Monday off, thank god.&lt;br /&gt;~Dermatologist tomorrow.  Grah.  Upside: I might get my ear peirced afterwards.  Yippy skippy with knobs!&lt;br /&gt;~I might just stay the night with Sarah on Sunday.  Yayyy!  At her house, because for once, her parents are less crazy then mine.  We're thinking movie night, even.  Man, I really missed my homie.  *weeps*  But, finally...doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo, the worst is over.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5512932-105787213724342695?l=llftm.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5512932/posts/default/105787213724342695'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5512932/posts/default/105787213724342695'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://llftm.blogspot.com/2003_07_01_archive.html#105787213724342695' title=''/><author><name>Christen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04206474303748430605</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512932.post-105771704706949363</id><published>2003-07-08T19:17:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2003-07-08T19:17:27.096-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>I finally watched Legally Blonde.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I actually like that movie a whole lot.  I had until tonight been boycotting it because I'm blonde myself and it seemed kind of...I don't know.  Weird.  But Mums rented it from Blockie Busters tonight and we watched it all together, minus Clay, which is a treat in itself.  We had pop corn and turned the lights off, and it was really cool being all together, minus Clay.  I think we should vote him off the island.  And maybe onto a sharp knife.  Or an active valcano.  Or a feild of land mines in rather large, hard to maneuver shoes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tomorrow is the day I get to go see muh homie!  I am starting to be weened from my Sarah probation of no return.  Or semi-return.  Whatever.  But yes, tomorrow is Pirates Day.  Mom's cracking like ice hurled at your little brother's thick head.  She's letting Sarah and I hang at Le Grande Malle' for a few hours before and\or after the movie, even.  That means seeing Josh.  Yummers.  Josh is prrrrrrrretty.  That's a plus, and I will already be giddywoowoo because I get to see Sarah, therefore my experiance will be heightened.  I already have to bite my lip around Joshie.

Got off early &lt;i&gt;again.&lt;/i&gt;  One would think that would be the last thing someone complianed about, but Jesus.  Work is about as constant as my moods during a bad bout of PMS.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mums and Dad oked something pretty cool for them.  They said that if I paid for it, I could get a second hole in my left ear.  That's pretty damned radical for my parents.  Ok, my mummies.  Dad's ok with the idea of pericings.  But yeah, I get an extra ear hole.   Woo.  And I am getting it done at this cool salon, so I might get a snazzy haircut with fringe the same day.  Cut first, then eary.  Woo woo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today at Target, Mom-us took me to look at condoms.  We looked for non-latex.  They have them, but they are made out of polyurethane.  That's the same stuff they make furniture polish out of.  Holy hell.  I am going to be having a beautiful, intimate moment with varnish.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since I am only mildly allergic, mom says that if I lube up uber a lots and use a thin latex, I should be ok.  I don't know, though.  The idea of applying KY Jelly between oral and vaginal seems like a major mood killer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Looking at condoms with one's mother is kind of embarassing.  It's not so much the looking part, but rather the fact that as we were looking, old men were watching us look.

My Bright Eyes...ah, good 'ol Conor.  I don't care what the uber scenesters of Indie Rock say.  I don't care what anyone says.  Conor Oberst is the most poetic, beautiful guy on the face of this earth.  Screw the Indir Rock Gods to Be.  Screw Scalf, screw Coil, screw everyone.  They can all suck my nonexistant cock.  I loves me some Conor, and there's nothing you can do about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lie to me and say it's gonna be all right, it's gonna be all right, it's gonna be all right...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But honestly, all this Anti-Conor bull shit erks me.  All the Uberscenesters and holy gods from Omaha and Seattle and shit think he's the antichrist or something.  So he's selling out, kind of.  He's not changing his words, he's not changing his meaning.  What's the big fucking deal?  People fucking like him.  Because he is such a skilled writer, more people can identify with his words.  More people can feel along with his woven words and naked truths. And that somehow makes him less beautiful to them?  I used to fake all that "holier than thou" shit.  "Yada yada, I hate such-and-such because they're sell out" or "I don't like them because Ms. Whatever digs them."  You know where it lands you?  At a lack of good music that makes you feel.  So I am fucking pissed at the Indie scenesters of the universe.  Maybe I am weird for liking a wider variety of stuff, but in my little blue eyes, that makes life more interesting.  Same goes for uberscenesters in general.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's take two people who really piss me off for example: Scalf and Coil.  Scalf is the better of them, so he goes first.  Did I just call Scalf better?  Gee, that made me shudder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So yes, Scalf.  He's, in his own words, "The poster boy for emo."  Nerdy glasses, bad attitude, black hair, vacant and depressed look, and sweater vests.  At school, he hates on everything but generic emo bands for whom, in general, I have very little admiration for.  Saves the Day, Get Up Kids, the like.  They all sound the same, but gee willy gosh, they are emo.  And for Scalf, life is about his label.  So he pushes his music on other people, screams out that he is, indeed, emo, and in the process of doing so skips out on lots of cool stuff unknowingly.  Really cool people.  Me. William.  Eva.  Sarah.  Really cool music.  Bright Eyes.  Lots of core stuff.  He just blocks it all out at school.  I've talked to him a wee on AIM and he's actually in to indie and hardcore, but he won't let it out ever because he is so worried about staying true to emo and the emo scene (which is sad, because our scene is hardcore and because it makes him think he's individual.  News flash...he's not.  Just go down to Florida.  Grah.).  So that limiting quality that comes with being a "scenester" pisses me off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On to Coil.  Coil is so mother fucking hardcore.  He does hXc vinyl collecting.  He does the sweet, sweet edge.  He does shows and has a "band" (never came to fruit, ha ha) and everything.  He lives music.  I don't have quams with that, really.  I mean, music s the fruit of life.  Kind of.  I personally think it is the blossoms of those whom you love, but whatevah.  Back to Coil.  So Coil's a cool guy, really.  I mean, he's funny, he's pretty good looking, he knows all about core.  BUT he's a flying ass hole.  If you're not as mother fucking hardcore (strike various core pose here) he fucking hates you.  Also, if you joke with him he hates you.  Because he is so mother fucking hardcore (growl), he takes everything seriously.  Everything.  He's uber intense, because that's how you have to be that mother fucking hardcore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So let's look at the rules thus far for being an UberScenester:&lt;br /&gt;1) You have to ignore things you like just for the sake of your scenesterdom.&lt;br /&gt;2) You have to be a serious fucking asshole.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hum, yes, that seems like something I'd aspire to make myself into.  That's how I want to live my life.  Let's look at other rules I know of, from various excutrstions with Will and Eva, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) You have to spend every ounce of money you have on music, and get every new CD by every band in your selected genre.&lt;br /&gt;4) One must go to every show that is "cool" in your general area, even if it means driving several hundred miles out of the way and still haveing to work the next day.&lt;br /&gt;5) You need to act offended if someone charges you with your Scene title.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yeeeeah....whatevah.  Oh wait, one more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6) You have to critizize everyone and everything if you or your higher Scenester Gods say that it is in any way wrong, even if you don't really believe in what you are insulting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stupid ass Scenesters.  I am though being "cool."  Fuck it. From here on out, I am me.  Pure, soild moi.  100% me without outside influance.  The people whom I really care about will like me anyway, because I didn't really pull anything scenester on anyone, anyway, and because they're cool, too.  I think Sarah is into the anti-scenester thing, too, because we've been talking about liking stuff even if it's mainstream (ie Coldplay and some All American Rejects.).  Ok, I'll stop ranting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, I would like to note that Joe and I have been "together" on and off for a good year now.  Woo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The end.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5512932-105762552044339783?l=llftm.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5512932/posts/default/105762552044339783'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5512932/posts/default/105762552044339783'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://llftm.blogspot.com/2003_07_01_archive.html#105762552044339783' title=''/><author><name>Christen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04206474303748430605</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512932.post-105760609346803240</id><published>2003-07-07T12:28:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2003-07-07T12:28:13.520-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>My book sure did not come in...still.

So here goes.  The anti-Friday Five.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;1. What were your favorite childhood stories?&lt;/b&gt;  That one potty book, the one with the song "I'll love you forever and like you for always, as long as I'm living my baby you'll be," and all the "big kid" books mom used to read to me...Charlotte's Web, National Velvet, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;2. What books from your childhood would you like to share with [your] children? &lt;/b&gt; I'm fond of the Dumb Bunnie, even though I found then around the age of ten.  And I don't think you have to read just childrens books to kids, you know, like just the picture book kind.  I'm all for reading them Harry Potter and my very first favie series by the amazing Llyod Alexander, The Chrinicles of Prydain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;3. Have you re-read any of those childhood stories and been surprised by anything?&lt;/b&gt;  I re-read Prydain over and over, and still cry every time.  And I am surprized at how you can apply sex to Green Eggs and Ham.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;4. How old were you when you first learned to read?  &lt;/b&gt;I don't remember.  Prolly during pre-school.  I was a bright-because-mom-made-me kid.  Still am.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;5. Do you remember the first 'grown-up' book you read? How old were you?&lt;/b&gt;  I have always read "grown up" books, even from when I was little.  I pimped Shakespear all through fourth and fifth grade.  I read classic poetry in third grade.  It's nice stuff.  The first book ozzing sex that I read, however, was Mists of Avalon Freshman year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I got back from the mall not to long ago.  I didn't get to go to Opry Mills because Princess Clay had to go all dorkcore and play in some Poke'mon league thing over in Rivergate, so I went to Rivergate Mall.  Abs came.  We rode the escalators.  Woo.  I also so a hot hardcore boy.  Mmmm...core kids.  Sec-say.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;List-o-stuff I bought:&lt;br /&gt;Two Bath and Body soaps, one in the same Moonlight-whatever I have, and one in this cool citrusy sent.  I love citrus.&lt;br /&gt;A set of three pairs of earings.  Little rings.  Cute.  Way to small gauge-wise, but mom won't let me wear gauges.  Fuck her.&lt;br /&gt;Tissues with skulls on them for my "purse."&lt;br /&gt;The new Poison the Well CD, which kind of sucks.  A lot.  So much that I wish I had gotten that Every Time I Die CD instead.&lt;br /&gt;A slice of spinich pizza. Yummm...&lt;br /&gt;Pink lemonaid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Holy hell, I am bored and sleepy.  And I want to kill Sarah's dad for being an ass.

We're going to round up lots of people to go with us so it'll be a group thing, which Mom can't refuse.  I'll bring Michelle and Jared, or at least Michelle, and Sarah is going to invite Catlin and Megan.  We might even be brave and invite Josh and Chris.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaking of Chris...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He works at the stadium at which the Sounds (baseball, we're going to a game today) play.

It started off like a usual work day.  Rolled out of bed fifteen minutes late, threw on the clothes I layed out the night before, scrambled for some shoes (picked out my fake Dr. Schoul's), I think I ate breakfast, and in my half-slumber, I suddenly found myself on the love seat of Kelly's house, working on y Death of a Salesman summer reading work ("Discuss one important part of the literature that you liked an why").  Boys woke up at 9:30, and asked if we were going somewhere.  Called Mom, and around 11 we were heading to the YMCA.  I was even clad in my suit to swim.  My scars from my last cutting session are almost healed, so I was ok.  I got sun.  Burned.  Woo.  And then we were suddenly stuck in traffic on Briley Parkway, and then the boys were gone because I was at home on the computer.  And then I was sitting on the sofa watching some show I don't like on Disney.  Sooner than I wanted, I was outside on the back...thing...with my parents, being lectured about "settling" for MTSU and being a coward for not applying elsewhere and having to walk through my fear and to stop copying Sarah.  Then Dad was gone and I was talking to Mom about Sarah and psychoanalizing her without mercy, which suddenly disolved to me scratching into my lef with a little safety pin in my room in just my underwear and shirt, and then I was crying and hugging my parents and saying sorry, that I was just so sad, and wishing I wasn't a stupid teenager.  So I was happy, then furious, then depressed, then in tears, and now I am just so worn out emotionally that I am not really feeling much, other than lovey because I patched things up with Joe because I missed him so terribly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the Bright Side:&lt;br /&gt;I have tomorrow and Friday off.&lt;br /&gt;I still get to see Sarah on the next of Wednesday, even though I was terrible to my mother for 30 straight minutes.&lt;br /&gt;Tomorrow, I get the laundry room and can do my wash.

Fuck her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[rant]&lt;br /&gt;I have had a terrible day.  I hate work, it's to easy and I get bored by it.  I heard from a certian someone whom I thought had a failed internet connection but was really just letting his depression rape him and sulking and thinking of himself only and avoiding me just because.  I love me supposed-boyfreind so much I could cut myself some more.  I'm depressed now, too, mother fuckers.  I really am.  My best friend is banned from me, my parents are punishing me left and right for things like leaving my laptop on while I wizz between parts of my summer reading project and asking to go the the fucking library.  I have not seen a live show since way before school was out, and, call me shallow if you must, music is my life force and without the live stuff every now and then I lose a lot of myself.  I am greatly sleep-deprived because (just a little while after it shut up) my brain refuses to stop long enough to let me dose.  I feel alianted in my family, a black sheep, simply because I do not feel the need to be trodden upon, especially by the family who is supposed to love and support me.  Mom and Dad think I am settling for MTSU and are forcing me to apply for other colleges (that, mind you, even with financial aid, we could never afford) because I am flyig quotes smart.  I'm losing sight of my goals in life just as I find them, I feel like I will be nothing and that I should just die instead of trying to stumble on in the cold Winter of this world.  I started cutting myself again because of all this fucking shit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And he doesn't want to talk to me because he's depressed?  What an ass cake.  I hope he fucking reads this.  Hi, Joe.  Look when you left me alone, mother fucker!  You left me to struggle in this flood of sorrow while you drowned in yours.  We could have FUCKING helped each other.  Run away, man.  It's always the fucking answer.  It's funny, because Sarah and I were just talking about this all today as I laid bored off my ass on the love seat at the twin's house.  "No, he's not just ignoring you."  Yeah...woo, we were so right, eh, Sarah?  Woooo.  I hate men.  I hate Man.  Fuckidy fuckaroni.  I love Sarah.  If only I could see her now, we could break shit together and scream.  I envy her realtionship with James, even though it's far from perfect in many people's eyes, including hers.  At least she can touch her boyfriend.  Why do I care so much for someone like this?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[/rant]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hello, my first name is Distance, and I really don't care if I ever wake up again.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5512932-105709211290724839?l=llftm.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5512932/posts/default/105709211290724839'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5512932/posts/default/105709211290724839'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://llftm.blogspot.com/2003_07_01_archive.html#105709211290724839' title=''/><author><name>Christen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04206474303748430605</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512932.post-105700641703637161</id><published>2003-06-30T13:53:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2003-06-30T13:53:37.103-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Yesterday I went driving and hit the curb hard.

Sarah and I have decided that we want to stay in Lyon Hall or whatever for Freshie year while we save up for a on-campus appartment, then we're moving to Scarlett Commons with two other people, whom we have to meet and make friendly with over our first year.  Woo.  So much fun planning all of this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mums might be caving over the lip thing.

I could scream in my mum's face.  What kind of a ass cake would do this to me?  I swear to god wherever I didn't do but maybe two things that they are accusing me of.  Dad's joining in the fun.  He's in a hissy fit over me even getting 'Net back.  I asked if I could see Sarah for one day...one stinking day...to go see Pirates of the Caribbean. It's kind of a Sarah-and-I-joke thing...pirates.  We're pirates, dammit, and we've been planning to see it since we saw the preview forever ago.  How long does it take to see a movie?  Two hours, maybe, right?  Well, Mum Dearest won't even give me that much time with the one girl who keeps me from killing myself.  This is bogus.  Full of bogosity.  Bogalicious.  Must resisit urge to lay the hurty...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The war is on.  Ok, so not war, really, but something.  I don't know.  I guess it's a innerwar, because it's more of me bombing myself into not pulling a bomb and exploding.  I don't know how much longer I can take this.  I hope and pray to...whatever...that I don't end up as crazy as Mum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She really has made me feel like I am far to stupid to be able to do anything for myself, and made me feel like I am not worthy enough to have friends or that those friends can never stay around to long because they'll currupt me.  I'm throwing that off.  I have to.  I'm going to.  I am far to tired of living under the Control Freak's reign.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the bright side:&lt;br /&gt;I love my new shoes.&lt;br /&gt;I found my Faint and Dashboard CD's.&lt;br /&gt;I snuck another call to my Homie today.&lt;br /&gt;I, er...other things.  I can't think of too many happy, bright things.  Oh yeah...&lt;br /&gt;I started painting my side table with my stylish Bright Eyes doey.  Woo. An for this...&lt;br /&gt;I made potato stamps!
