11:38 pm - if i told you this was killing me, would you stop?
tonight jay was over, and we talked a lot. we find its easier to talk in the dark. its easier to cry in the dark. we got dinner at tedeskis, and frank sang to us.

as of now, in providence we have a:
house - it is abandoned, yet i think its being fixed up
tunnel - its actually just for the buses and trollies, but we walked through it and looked at all the grafetti
store - its this 24 hour store, and we're corporate whores so we've also claimed a starbucks
saying - jay: forever lauren: and ever
building - its the one with the red white and blue lights on it
favorite cologne for him - tommy
favorite perfume for me - its juniper breeze body splash
university - brown
poet from boston- he's homeless and wonders the streets, he recites poetry from his binder in hopes people will donate, he was slightly drunk, the smell of vodka lingered from his words

current mood: apathetic
current music: new amsterdams - never treat others

11:50 am - well, lets see now...
the night of the KP semi i hung out with graham, we went to the cafe, then went to the playground per usual. it was fun, and i love listening to graham sing boy sets fire and weezer. graham, you have a very nice voice. :)

the following night (which was yesterday) gretchen, jay and i, went to the cafe and then to bellingham to Newbury Comics, Sean Leary was there...Sean used to be my brother's best friend...it was strange...he hasn't changed much, i wanted to say hello...but i felt a little odd. So Jay wasnt used to the whole suburbia thing...hehe, yeah...

"MY ASS IS GRASS" - Jay...

so it was ok, then after that we sat in my car, i think we listened to about half of My Life In the Knife Trade, then decided to not leave the "commerce whore" as Jay called it, meaning the little place where the theatre is...anyway, we went to bread and circus...bought veggie chips, then left...we ended up back at my house, playing pool...jay and i are far to competitive to play pool against one another...but gretchen learned.

the weekend was really fun. today i get to hang out with Jenna. hoorah!

i've got tickets to Dashboard on the 4th, and then the 420 Fest at the Palladium which i'm looking forward to, A LOT! I got the 420 tickets for free cause people just owed me...and this is payback. hehehe. I think I'm going to get a ticket to see the Movie Life at Axis, they're playing with Midtown.

8:18 pm - the secret to happiness
(yes jenna, it might be bouncy balls, but here's my idea, which might actually just apply to me...but oh well)

ok, so heres my idea...and i guess this only applies to someone with a car...or access to the car (and i suggest that only people with a legal driver's license should attempt this)...my ideas of happiness have limitations...go figure...

STEP ONE: Get into a car (preferably one that belongs to you or your parents which you have permission to drive)

STEP TWO: Find your favorite "sing-a-long" angry/relates to how you're feeling at the time

STEP THREE: Take a LONG drive around

STEP FOUR: scream/sing along to the music, or just listen to it...however, yelling is a most cathartic method

STEP FIVE: Continue this driving and screaming until you have released your frustrations, and more or less have forgotten the issues that "plague" your mind like locust...this is a metal washing...

STEP SIX: Return to your home, lay in your bed or futon, and just release that sigh of relief, close your eyes and sleep

2:57 pm - i wanna leave this town...
my mother is a bitch...she has absolutely no faith in me, well, let me rephrase that, she pretends to have faith in me, but always adds in those small phrases at the end of her so-called "motherly" pep talks...all i can say to her is, FUCK OFF! i dont need this...my spring break is going to suck...

current mood: cynical

8:39 pm - do you remember My So-Called Life...
i found an episode...and there was Jordan (Jared Leto) singing to Angela (Claire Daines)... AWWW!! now i'm looking for songs from that show...cause they had some pretty good songs, i've found the theme which i really like...

anyway, this is the nostalgia week for me...if you can't already tell...

i'm listening to that Bright Eyes song...right now i have that, "wtf" look on my face...

anyway...after i read Brittany's response to a previous entry, i thought to about that show at the PFAFF center...i met a lot of interesting people...including one named patrick (i think) apparently he's now in jail...::shrugs::

its amazing what can happen to people...for example, justin has fallen in love w/liz, i've fallen in love, and no offense to either of us...but honestly we are really the last two people who i thought this would happen to...even though this was inevitable...a lot of my friends are going to be seniors this year...they're going to graduate, and its possible that i'll lose contact with a lot of them...nothing was the same after i graduated...and nothings going to be the same after they graduate...

change is inevitable...

6:36 pm - and all of a sudden, i decided to listen to the ataris...

Which My So-Called Life Character Are You? Find out @ She's Crafty


this is probably the one that best describes me...however that Daria one a whiles back was good to describe my family...

(Speak Your Mind)

12:16 am - here's to the nights we felt alive...
I'd like to thank all my friends for all the wonderful memories...

try to think what our best one was, and tell me!

current mood: nostalgic
current music: incubus - i miss you

3:55 pm - "the best things in life are free, but you can give them to the birds and bees, I want money"
money isnt the root of all evil...greed is...

I NEED:
-a damn job...
-to stop complaining and get things done...
-to work harder...
-snap out of this meloncholy state
-to get some sort of direction in life

I WOULD LIKE:
-to get out of suburbia...
-to be happy
-to go to the little coffee place in franklin sometime soon w/someone
-to not be burdened by my parents about school...
-to know what life has in store for me
-to see my friends

current mood: broke
current music: std - rocks tonic juice magic

(1 Thought | Speak Your Mind)

1:10 am - beating my head against the keyboard...
i'm so tired, yet at the same time unable to sleep, i think it's my medication, apparently i was unaware that it lasts for roughly 6 hours...i took it at 7:00, then was stupid and got a mocha madness...oh well, i needed a break from studying...i got to see toby for about 30 minutes which was good, i miss him a lot.

currently i'm making a "kind of sing along" cd. i figure for my own future reference, i'll list what's on it:

Jimmy Eat World - Sweetness
Saves the Day - Rocks, Tonic, Juice, Magic
Fuel - Shimmer
Dashboard - So Impossible
TJT - August in Bethany
Deep Blue Something - Breakfast at Tiffany's
Jimmy Eat World - In the Middle
P.O.D. - Youth of a Nation (yeah i know this is not like me but i like this song for some reason)
Moneen - Passing of America
Wheatus - Teenage Dirtbag
TJT - If I Told You This Was Killing Me...
Incubus - Stellar
Elton John - Your Song
FSF - New Years Project
Dashboard - Hands Down
BSF - In Hope
Puddle of Mudd - Blurry
Thursday - Understanding in a Car Crash
Saves the Day - Sell My Old Clothes, I'm Off to Heaven

I studied for ASL, and hopefully it won't be too bad, yet i know i'll forget something rather simple...I'm applying to work at Kohl's in Walpole, which i dont really want to do, but i'm really quite desperate for cash...i owe my parents close to $300...and now since the bastards i hit last september want $2,212 for their so-called damages, nothing was wrong w/their damn car. bastards. so now my insurance is going to sky rocket, considering some other asshole hit my car a month ago...so i need money desperately. i am applying tomorrow...blah...tomorrow's gonna be busy as hell...its a long day at school, including 3 classes and my ASL mid-term. my head hurts...
