internet rejection.
really. im kinda upset. |

[Sep. 8th, 2009|11:10 pm] |
a.) fuck you livejournal xbox header. i dont need that crap. isn't there enough ads on the site without messing with the design?
b.) so the internet makes the world so small. not really a revelation i guess. recently i've been reading facebook/twitter posts from all those "i've left behind". some by choice, others not so much, and they are all doing really interesting things. i want to comment on their stupid satuses and posts with my own mundane comments but thats just too weird. i haven't talked to some of these people in over a year, but we once had so much history that some times it seems silly not to comment. even if its just a song lyric that i love.
EDIT: b part the second.) after creeping, i can tell they are reading my posts too and adding the same applications/groups/fan pages. friends in parallel worlds.
c.) i need to watch empire records again. free by the martinis just came up on shuffle. this song was my personal anthem in 8th grade. super stupid now, but i love that movie.
d.) i was supposed to go to bed early tonight. wtf.
EDIT: e.) after looking up the lyrics for dead eye dick's new age girl, i totally had the lyrics fucked up in my head for the longest time. i thought "Mary Moon will outlive all the septaugenarians" was "Mary Ohhh.... she's a bisexual". selective hearing i guess.

its late on a sunday evening. the sun has just set and the local woodland creatures are slowly awaking to begin their noctural feast. james takes lauren's hands in his own as he gazes lovingly into her eyes. this gaze pierces into the very depths of her soul. in a faint whisper, steady and passionate, he utters, "i freaking love your face".
lauren pats him on the head and goes back to reading the chicago tribune.

so one reason i hate living in this apartment is that my gd manager is never around to sign for the ups guy.
this is the second attempt on my adorable new panties and if he's not here tomorrow, they might get returned to the sender! oh noes!
ugh. for the record, i hate that word. panties. barf. some words are just, ugh, gross.
today i had a hardxcore desire to wear leggings. woah. i think its cause i spent way too much time with brent last night talking about emo kids.
brent is a funny guy because he believes he is so complicated, but i think with a little understanding its easy to figure him out. but he always has some wonderful and insightful things to say. very complementary. that is if you're willing to sift through a heap of republican political nonsense.
hmm... i wonder if mail gets delivered this friday. i want my freaking netflix.
me me me
tonight i will go to bed early so i can wake up refreshed and can start thinking about what to pack for this weekend and what to pack for my trip to omaha. yep, im being dragged to nebraska for nearly a week for a student leadership conference. ugh. a least i get to go to the omaha zoo.
things i should be doing:
.cleaning out my closet - its a war zone
.packing
.dishes - we have no forks
.taking the trash out
.calling nicole because i love her and miss her
.dusting.
.typing up some spreadsheets for MUSG
.designing for various clients
what i will be doing
.reading the walking dead
.listening to my mix tape
.napping
.thinking about saturday |

there is something utterly refreshing about a cold shower every now and then.
last night i stayed up to watch the sunrise. now i'm not one to forgo sleep, chat online for 6 hours, and wait for the sun to make an appearance, but it was so lovely. je suis une smitten kitten.
im watching the michael jackson tribute on mtv and the vj keeps on saying "in-flue-ince" and its driving me crazy. its kinda surreal because even though there was a lot of fuck-up-ed-ness around his life, he was still such a legend.
if you are calling the automated fed ex number to schedule a pickup, you cannot verbally make fun of the automated voice because you will fuck up the machine.
one more day til the weekend! |

i hate this.
no amount of fans or nakedness can make this place comfortable.
i hate summer.
i hate humidity.
i hate warm.
i hate the sun.
i love mixtapes.
I’m watching season 5 of the girls next door and in the second episode, the girls go to the Hooters TWO BLOCKS AWAY from my house. Ugh. So close yet so far. Today I broke down and cleaned up my apartment. Well, cleaned some of it. I hated it. But I did manage to wash all my laundry and find my long lost polka-dotted panties at the bottom of the hamper – huzzah! My new boyfriend (squee!) made me the most perfect mix tape ever and I’m obsessed with it! I’ve been listening to it non-stop and, ugh. Beyond words. I love being exposed to new music and each track is better than the last. The hardest part of this relationship is that weeks now last forever. Everyday gets me one step closer to the weekend but I feel like I’m missing something when I’m in Milwaukee and he is in Chicago. I’m super worried about being a shitty girlfriend because James is too good to me. I just hope he knows that I’m fucking crazy about him even when we are 92 miles away from each other. True facts.
I’m dying to see Bruno! Too bad I’ll be in Omaha when it comes out. Lame.
Also, excited for the pride parade! Still trying to decide on the ensemble. Needs moar rainbow.
I think I might take that shower I was talking about. |

so last tuesday i got to the train station early in the morning. i drove 20 minutes to glenview, got to the station and realized that I forgot my cell phone. fml. so i decided to tough it out for four days and use the internet to communicate. i go to buy my train ticket and realize that i can't find my credit card. efffff. so i had to *gasp* find a pay phone and call my dad to come bail me out. who the hell uses pay phones anymore?!
so i drive home, find my phone, and realize that there is no way i am going to make it back to work in milwaukee by 10. so i call my boss and she was super nice about the whole thing and i began the quest to find my plastic. i checked the car cause that seemed like the most logical place for it to be. i found some napkins, a purple conversation heart, one french fry, a burger king kids club membership form, two rolos and a golf ball, but no plastic. grr. i unpacked my suitcase and looked through every pocket to no avail.
so i was stressed and i coped the best way i could: i went to sleep. when i woke up, the credit card never appeared. so a few hours later, i bit the bullet and called chase visa to cancel the card. after searching online for 15 minutes to find the right number to call, i reached a real person and told them about the card. apparently, someone had found the card and had already canceled it for me. well thanks for letting me know that! and so they proceeded to read me the last few charges and they were all super embarrassing things. and they were all mine. le sigh. so in 3-4 business days i will be back to my normal spending patterns.
speaking of which, today i really really wanted to online shop because the store that sells my favorite bra was having a buy 2 get 2 free sale. huzzah! so i added these super cleavage bras to my online cart and go to check out. even with the two free, it still was almost ninety dollars! i fucking hate my fabulous taste.
today i got a shitty email from the college of comm that my only fun fall class, the history of clothing, was unceremoniously canceled. so since the entire university has already registered for classes, i'm left with shit choices. basically at this point, i'm just fulfilling the credit requirements because i've taken all the courses that i need to graduate. i really just wanted something easy and fun. so, friends, i am once again a student of ssssociology taking an uber simple intro to sociology course with a really sweet prof.
and from this point until monday at 530, it is not stop scheduled plans. but it will be utterly worth it!
currently, in a bout of low self esteem, i am sitting on the couch watching grandma's boy and eating chips and salsa. and you can't stop me. |

i've been meaning to do a post about carrie's wedding for a week, but perhaps later. im uber lazy.
so i was looking at some old pictures today. mostly photos of me from baby-3 years old. i got kinda emotional because my parents are in these photos too and they are hugging me and showing general parental affection for me. it kills me because i don't recieve this kind of attention from them ever. of course they still love me, right? we are the most non-lovey family evah that i think it messes with my relationships with others.
well hell, this is an appropriate time to talk about carries wedding.
firstly, everything was so perfect. gah, i melted. i was so happy for the bride and her new husband that i squee-d more than any human should in a public place. ugh. so perfect for each other. secondly, i realized that there are way-awesome people in this world who are quirkier than i am. and everyone was totally cool being fabulousy nerdy and i only wish i could be with people like that on a daily basis. my table mates met the bride through a livejournal community and when the cake was being cut, one of them proudly proclaimed, "i can has cake nao? nom nom nom". watching everyone do the konami code dance was priceless. a couple in front of me was hoping that at the end of the recieving line, one would recieve bacon. loves it. not to mention chatting it up with brilliant video game designers. thirdly, i think there is hope for me yet. watching all these couples find their happiness in life is so exciting and i can't wait to join them. no, i don't have the perfect dress in mind, or the bridesmaids selected, but its kinda fun to think about. </beingagirl>
at the end of episode 11(?) of clone high they have a brief royal tenenbaums spoof. hilarious. |

.the kids in the audience went a little too happy and i felt way too old to be there.
.fob was doing this uber political thing and i have no idea what that was all about

.when we got back, we had to celebrate with an obligatory photoshoot

.almost
.after breakfast, we hung out for a little bit before meghan made the quest back to PR.
.i was sad and alone.
.i loafed around on the couch for the rest of the day and watched TAI TV, Cobra, Dead Poets Society, and Clone High

this weekend was perfect. |

signs that i have been spending too much time on twitter:
i just had a dream that i went minigolfing with pat, my junior year philosopy prof and @amandapalmer.
it was kind of amazing.
well, since i haven't posted here in a month, i think in the future i will make a decent post about how amazing my chicago weekend was. when i'm fifty, i won't be able to scroll back to all the tweets to read about it so i should make it into a post here. oh technology.
now i shall balance my checkbook then off to work at the president's office. i have no idea what i'll be doing today. |

not cool things
1. having the library lock the doors outside after hours. not nice making drunk people find their ids to swipe in
2. going out to celebrate a 21st just because you want to be a good friend. i have things to do today people!
3. not being able to log into my email cause i keep on clicking on the wrong links
4. career fairs with no careers for people whose main skill is : awesome.
5. not having a future.
6. breaking the seal. should be spelled seel. not like the animal.
7. living far away from things so you always have to walk home alone
8. bad shoes.
cool things
1. friends who will play video games with you
2. friends who will go on random adventures with you just cause you asked nicely
3. library internet with fast connections
4. computer keyboards that make a clicky noise when you type super fast
5. sleep.
i might attempt tipsy laundry if i make it home. but chances are when i get home, i'll just realize how tired i really am and go back to sleep.
can't wait to be in the chi this weekend!! |

i know im too tired when im looking at questionable content and i literally laugh out loud.
i know im procrastinating when i've washed all the dishes and i'm updating livejournal at midnight.
i made my mom take me to the zoo this past weekend. i wore my beret and was sassy. i jumped in puddles in between sassy moments.
i went to a leadership conference today. i also made the executive decision to leave early when i realized i had really been recruited into a sales pitch for united way and a focus group for the administration about recycling. kthxbye.
its so easssy to procrastinate. why am i not focused?!

i went to the gym this morning.
yes, milwaukee has crack in the water.
i honestly dont work out hard enough or long enough to have any impact on my physical fitness whatsoever. its kinda like gym class.
but at 8 am.
in all honesty, im really not motivated to try hard so it really is quite pointless.
ive got to distribute the musg voice tomorrow and thursday. very very cold times.
and i also have to write this mini paper for media law which i have been putting off all night. geeze.
i made a stuffed pepper for dinner. me. i cooked.

today has been a really nice day.
i woke up and went to the gym with my roommate kinda early in the morning.
it honestly was the strangest thing because i knew that the facility was there, but i've never walked around there before. like being in another city. oh yah, it also was a center for physical activity. ew.
so working out was productive.
cept my liver was crying on the inside.
came home and drank a sprite and started to do all my homeworks.
i have 3 minipapers due and part of a portfolio project all due tomorrow.
my parents are also on their way up to watch the game.
can't wait for those commercials!
i want to continue to be productive today, but i really want to take a nap.
lots of good heart to hearts last night. and some disastrous dance moves. |
