"meglio esserci lasiati che non esserci mai incontrati"

Two good things happened today. But when I got home, nothing was changed.

There's a hipster website with quotes and pictures that I like, but there are a lot of pictures of hip guys smoking and skateboarding and wearing plaid and taking photographs. I'm scared I'll see Dave.

"If somebody yells out, 'Hey! Stop, drop, and roll!' Say, 'That might save my skin, but it won't save my soul.'"

I finally got to hear Tarkio, rather than read the Wikipedia article, and I like it as much as The Decemberists.

I used to pride myself on being honest and saying what I thought to the people it mattered to.

My guitar needs new strings.

Good Arms vs. Bad Arms is in my Top 50 Most Played as of late...

The only 2 songs that deserve to be in my Top 10 Played are Farmhouse and Going to California.

For the first time of the New Year, I accidentally made it to Wednesday without reading the Sunday Secrets. They made me sad.

I'm relying on the summer to do complete all of my resolutions. Except for one. I think I'm putting too much effort into one time rather than continually self improving.

If I talk behind someone's back, and they ask to know what I was saying, I will tell them (not who I was talking with). I wonder what is possible to be said about me behind my back.

Jimmy, talking behind people's backs: "Matt is AWESOME." "Trisha is awesome." "I did not ask to see that of Katie Fain."

On Morse Code's birthday I took a screen shot of the search bar on Google. I hope Dave thought of me too. I need to get over him.

I kinda want a motorcycle license. Also a gun license. Not to mention SCUBA, hot air balloon, pilot, HAM radio, and driver's.

Monday, April 27, 2009

I used to think that boys who broke up with girls for not putting out were cruel.
I know who I want to take me home.

Today, I sat down until the sun went down and the moon came out. I was wearing jeans and a t shirt and the warm wind is beckoning of summer. It's too soon. I don't want there to be another summer to replace my last one.

Today

I woke up at one or so and did odd jobs about the house, mostly jobs related to the internet. Jimmy was hanging out with Josh and my dad was doing more productive odd jobs about the house, so I assumed I was out of a ride wherever I felt like going. However, it was positively the most beautiful day of the year so far, and a walk would be absolutely gorgeous. My original intent was to bring my sketch pad and a Sharpie, but I settled on a camera, a Sharpie, and a goal to take pictures of memories, minus the people. I went up Kirk, got pictures of BYC and the specific picnic table. A right on Smithbridge to Build a Dream where I got the other picnic table as well as the quotes Molly, Stasi, and I left there. I wanted to get a picture of Dave's driveway, which was where we had our first kiss where something felt really different. My mom interrupted it, of course, but it was still really nice. I decided that it was about dinner time, and if his family was eating there, it would be beyond creepy to see me taking pictures of their house. Jeff's lawn has plenty of memories though, which is where I was headed when I ran into Dan walking Diesel. We chatted it up in the road, his parents were at Pitt, and we decided to hang out for a little while. The conversation was great and Mr. Graney sounds like a really awesome person. He offered me Kool-Aid, an apple, and some other stuff, and eventually we walked to Wawa, talking. I didn't get a picture of Jeff's lawn. At Wawa, we saw Regis where Dan got a lead on a potential job opening. Dan got green tea and M&Ms (for me) with the money his parents left him, and we walked back to his house. I learned a short cut through Sweet Hollow because my dad called, as it was nearing sunset. We hugged our goodbyes and I jog/walked to Garnet Mine where my dad picked me up. He was a little mad, but I wasn't drunk, high, or fucked, so I assume everything's fine.

I keep looking at a prom dress I can't have.

50 Lil' Secrets I Stole from Facebook

50 Little Secrets

Who was your last text from?
James Matthew Avestruz

Where was your default picture taken?
Perhaps the most epic picture in the noble union of land pirates and cameras, my default picture was taken by my BFF, Matt, at Longwood Gardens.

Your relationship status?
I am the girlfriend of my boyfriend, James Matthew Avestruz. However, when listening to "Put a Ring On It," I put "mah hands up." On May 3rd, I will celebrating my 1 Year Anniversary with my beloved secret lover, Gina. Also, I may or may not be the mistress of Molly Diggory.

Where did you meet your boyfriend?
The band room? Dear goodness. That's foul.

Have you ever lost a close friend?
Ah, many times, but my life is blessed with beautiful, transient people who make their time with me a gorgeous adventure.

What is your current mood?
Light and giddy!

What's your brother's name(s)?
John Joesph Hendriekez Glynn

Sister's name(s)?
Miss Carriage

Where do you wish you were right now?
I wish, that right now, I was stargazing in Death Valley, California.

Have a crazy side?
No, I'm fairly one sided crazy.

Ever had a near death experience?
Not very close, though I've been scared.

Something you do a lot?
Say "quite" or "rather." Move around unnecessarily. Talk. Sing. Blink. Smile. Laugh.

Angry at anyone?
It's a strange sort of angry where there was no quantifiable wrong done against me, and therefore nothing to forgive or apologize for, but I'm still angry.

What's stopping you from going for the person you like?
Because I already went for them and they liked me back, so now I have them!

When was the last time you cried and why?
Last Saturday, I was absolutely wrecked with exhaustion, drumline had just taken first place. I realized that the organization holds no personal satisfaction and I won't care incredibly about the people in it next year. It was hard to feel close to Jimmy and it became so obvious that I'd temporarily lost my best friends and everyone I'd connected with and those I hadn't were going to leave and I wanted to get out of here so badly.

Is there anyone you would do anything for?
There are people I would commit murder for, there are definitely more people I would go to jail for. There are people who I would do anything within reason for. There are people who I would do anything they could possibly request of me for. There is no one I would do anything for, simply because I am unable to.

What do you think about when you are falling asleep?
Jimmy, friends, my mom, contentment, restlessness, getting out of here, word play, the posters over my bed, what I can physically feel at that instant, stuff I have to do, obligations, the past, beautiful, beautiful memories of last summer

Who was the last person you talked to on the phone?
Jimmy, though my dad was the last person to call me... oops.

What is your favorite song?
All time favorite song: Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd for 3 reasons
Next Top 2: You Can't Always Get What You Want by the Rolling Stones for 3 reasons
Going to California by Led Zeppelin for 2 reasons

What are you doing right now?
Fillin' out this, thinkin' 'bout what to draw, listen' to Australia.

Do you trust anyone right now?
I trust almost everyone, but for some it's that I have trust in their consistency not necessarily their loyalty to me.

Where did you get the shirt your wearing?
Viv gave it to me! :D

Have you hugged someone in the past week?
DUH!

Describe your life in two words?
Restless/Content

Who are you thinking about at the moment?
Jimmy!

What should you be doing right now?
Talking to Jimmy, but his wireless died. I should actually be looking for a coffin for it.

What are you listening to right now?
Loose Lips by Kimya Dawson from the JUNO Soundtrack (it changed since the other question about this)

Who was the last person who gave you a hug?
Jimmy! :D

Who was the last person who yelled at you?
Mr. Longo (?)

What is your natural hair color?
Blonde with highlights, the shade depends on the season

Who was the last person to make you laugh?
Jimmy :]

Who was the last person to make you mad?
Myself, for not saying the "the" in pantheism. It was terrible, but I was worked up. :P

What animals do you have?
A doggy, a kitty, and a barn cat

Is your hair curly or straight?
Straight like an arrow that's been molded over someone's curvy head.

Hugged the opposite sex in the past 3 days?
Every day at least twice a day!

Do you use smiley faces on the computer?
Yes, but they do not quite convey the emotion of real faces.

Plans for the week?
Tomorrow: HiQ banquet
Friday: Pennsylvania State Academic Bowl
Saturday: TIA Chapter 3 Championship Competition
Sunday: Hangin' out with Jimmy

Are you happy with life right now?
Happy is not quite strong enough a word for it.

Are you currently jealous?
Of course, but it's nothing that bothers me as my life is SO FREAKING AWESOME.

What were you doing Friday night?
Sleeping and talking to Jimmy!

Have you ever had your heart broken?
Yes. "Broken hearts hurt, but they make you strong."

Have you ever broken someone's heart?
Nope.

Is there anybody you're really disappointed with?
Not really disappointed with, but there are some things I should address.

Last person you saw?
My papa.

How late did you stay up last night and why?
I fell asleep at 8:30ish because Jimmy was video editing and I had nothing better to do, then I woke up around 11:30 and we talked until 12:30ish.

Have you ever dated someone longer than a year?
No, thank goodness!

I wish I was leaving with Stasi, or instead of her.

miniTHON

Dance. Dance.

First we "learned" the miniTHON line dance. Unfortunately, there weren't enough repetitions for us to really get a handle. The first time they organized it without Morgan leading the demonstration we could barely get past the first steps. The dancing was free form from then on, with the best songs being played while the playlist was fresh and the public was there. The Battle of the Beanfield, my group, (named hastily when it was on the list of "awesome things from Wikipedia" I was carrying around with me) danced quite enthusiastically, receiving recognition from teachers in the form of "tickets." These tickets, along with donations from the public or group members, decided who would "win" at the end of the night. Some serious air guitaring on my part led to a small shout out from Nick L. and another point for us. The first activity required all of the dancers to line up by birthday to divide them into random groups. My randomly chosen team took third in the first round of relays, moving on to the finals, and first overall. At some point we got back to our original members, and they forced us to "caterpillar." This requires the first person in line to put their ankles on the second's shoulders while kneeling and so on and so forth down the line. It was a terrible set up that had no research put into it as no group could finish. Back to dancing! Pizza at eleven was good. Jimmy and Josh realized that my group member, Margo, didn't know when they were joking. Margo and I played ping pong. Our ball went behind the bleachers. I found a cockroach. Rachel and I played badminton. We kicked butt and got tickets for enthusiasm. I got destroyed by Molly Cannon in ice cream tasting. Automm and I couldn't hear the music in DDR, so we both failed. However, we both rocked through the fire and flames on Guitar Hero. I sang Float On with Steve and ...someone else? We were the only group who very enthusiastically danced for the live band, Leaving Cash. They also gave us a bit of a shout out. TECHNOMANIA!! (didn't go so well because the techno sucked...) Right after a straight half hour of bouncing to computer generated beats, we began our "aerobic activity." A woman came up on stage to instruct us on "zoomba." Zoomba is a type of dance fitness with very sexy hip moving that has more the atmosphere of a party than instructional activity. It's following the instructor to the beat of the Latin hip hop while trying not to collapse. That went on for 45 minutes to my surprise. I was exhausted for the lack of break after techno. However, if it didn't cost money, that would be a great work out. One of the goals of the evening was to not sit down. Jimmy and I held hands when I gave in. Absence is the only way to appreciate something and I certainly take sitting for granted. Our team won the scavenger hunt, but everyone was disqualified for reasons we couldn't quite figure out. They still gave us tickets. Kerri was very badass with her sunglasses. Indoors. At night. Josh borrowed them pretending to be someone else in a quest for a second serving of ice cream. After the poorly organized dodgeball tournament around 3 or 4, it deteriorated into a loosely unenthusiastic milling about of people. Jimmy and Josh flashed the bat-signal in people's eyes. 5-6AM was fairly miserable. We were all sleepy, sore, and irritable. I danced from 6-6:30, the last of the night. Celebrating the end was magical. We sat as a group, listening to Nick say his whatevers. We raised $17,600 or so. Because we got out so early I got a ride home from Josh, who was also delivering Jimmy to his place of residence. The final word of the evening, Josh said, "and tomorrow we will all wake up and the world will still be the same."

Unrelated: I really like this music video.

Boscov's Deluxe Assorted Chocolates by Asher's

At every holiday that requires a gathering of family, my grandmom gets 2 lbs. of assorted chocolates from Boscov's. I doubt that she actually goes out for the purchase, but it is at her tribute. When I was little, only my pop-pop seemed to eat them as I would never risk the disaster of coconut and they're not very high quality chocolates. Now I have it down to a fine science, picking out the chocolates I want. My brother only has it narrowed down to two on figuring out which one is caramel. But Uncle Mike has it perfect, and often beats him to it.

Friday, April 10, 2009

Why is my brother so fucking awesome?! There's so much water around my room...

I think I'm going to run away in the summer. No where far I guess, maybe just to the shore. I don't know if I'll be able to drive by then. Is it ironic if I get a job so I can save up to leave?

Monday, April 6, 2009

It is 1:14 on Sunday, April 5th, and I have to be Yossarian again.

walls, roof, stuff, me = my room

I can't imagine having any other room other than my own. I see myself going to college, living in a dorm, moving out, having a real house and life, etc... but I imagine that this room with always be here for me, when it won't.

Sunday, March 29, 2009

...yeah... so in two more weeks I'll be done with this giving up meat for Lent thing, but that means I've gotten through a good twenty six days or so. However, going vegetarian changes the way you feel, and, well, smell (the strongest trigger of memory)...
