i hope natalia's party was fun!
i really have nothing to say. i went sledding with kit r. and then we watched a movie and talked about his family and physical flexibility (he's not at all)
all i really have to say is that there is gonna be some freaking out if there isnt some putting out mighty soon.
im terrible, muriel.
i have no idea how to be flirtatious anymore. ive lost all sense of sexual aggression. i dont even know if im interested in more than a little make-out and even that makes me start feeling nervous.
oooooh, crush.
he made me a crazy picture for christmas. i like it a lot. heehee.
good times.
goodnight.
p.s. im not going back to nyu for the spring semester. hahah...oh yeah, that whole thing.

here's an orange julius story for you, john. i was watching my favorite television program (cops, of course) and they were in speech impediment county, washington and this lame punkass was slapping around his bitchass female roommate and when the cops came he whined and showed off the tear in his brand new twenty dollar orange julius apron as evidence that she hit him, too. all the while, sipping an orange julius. an orange julius visor hung around his neck. he was still wearing them when he was handcuffed. the cop asked if he wanted to wear the apron to jail and asked his girlfriend to take it off of him. so they made out instead, and then she ripped the visor off of his head, yanking a sexy diamond stud from his ear. then he puked in the cop car. bad boys, bad boys. anyway, that's my orange julius story of the day. i think i will put on pants and buy ice cream.

Today I have horrible cramps and was tricked into driving my grandparents around more than I should have. The only good part about today was this:
Me and the grandparents go to have my grandma's hair done (this Italian lady named Francesca does it for her in the basement of her Elmwood Park home while my grandpa and I sit on the couch and drool in our sleep) and Francesca's short pudgyish father talks to us once in a while in his thick Italian accent while we mostly just smile and nod. Then, while he is standing directly next to my grandpa, my granda says in Ukrainian to me "he can't understand me right now, because I'm speaking in ukrainian...he's pretty fat, y'know?...So is his daughter, the hairdresser.....It's because they eat a lot of noodles because they're italians...so no one will hear, it's the [says the following whispering in english] spaghetti!" I could barely stifle my laughing. Maybe it's not so funny because all y'all weren't there, but it was fucking great when I was there!

another one bites the dust.
last night i was cleaning out george jetson with my golfer's multi-tool when i sneezed, forcing the little metal spike through the tiny hole, tearing into the glass right where it counts. it's unusable, even with a screen (i tried).
and my car won't start.
etc.
when it rains, it pours.

so it feels really nice to be home. i talked to my parent's for a bit...my mom's being super weird but i think it's just cuz she's not feeling well. she seems really depressed and weak. im not digging it...it's making me nervous. other than that, they both forgot i had gotten a tattoo and i actually had to ask my mom if she wanted to see it. she freaked out about the scarring. it's a tattoo: it's a permanent scar with ink. she also was like uber-mom and very out of character. i barely got in the door before she started freaking out about where i should sit down and if my feet were wet and i better change clothes and blah blah blah. the thing is, normally that would be very comforting and nice and mom-like but she had this desperate urgency in her voice that was unsettling and creepy. i think she may be subconsciously making me annoyed with her so i dont come back. that's either a really irrational fear or a very scary reality. oooh man. i have no idea what im doing.
im almost positive im not going back for spring semester now.
fuck fuck fuck.
eh, this is making me depressed now and i hadnt been since i got home. i fucking hate that school like mike hates karen's pipe.
i gotta go to bed cuz i have an emergency therapist meeting tomorrow morning. hmmm...taking a semester off, emergency therapist appointment, losing my mind...does this sound strangely familiar to anyone else?
beloit may have a 10% mental patient rate, but you and me, marisa, make 100% nuts.
what the fuck is going on?

Well the most recent bowl-a-rama was a huge success. We all had fun with minimal injuries (moment of silence for Marisa's old door, it served her well.) Definitely something to repeat. Shasbatt!

Hey all y'all---I'm getting volunteering set up now. I have been home since saturday it's really nice, but It's hard to handle all the media (y'know, I'm so popular they're hounding me!) No really, because I have been isolated from pop culture in montreal, it is really fucking with me to come home and have this barrage of tv and magazines and everything. I have realized that its all superfulous (used in the right context? I know not) and I am overstimulated. I wish I could just move some of that overstimulation to some other needed part of my life...

i wanted to write a legitimate post before going to bed tonight, but i am very sleepy from sitting in this chair for many hours, chainsmoking, looking at bad things, and listening to the same two songs on repeat (joe jackson's "is she really going out with him" and built to spill's "center of the universe"). i've been a real waste all day. i'm wearing these funny green sweatpants that used to belong to my dad. now i am going to sleep, my eyes are rolling around in their sockets.

Chicago status report: It is still here. Well, most of it. CD94.7 is, of course, kaput. So the radio stations suck dick on the aggregate. Denny's is operational. Huck's is alive. Ignatius is still intimidating little children. You know that feeling when you look at the classes below you, whatever year you are, and they just look like little lost 8th graders, well, that holds true even when they become seniors. They still look like little tin soldiers.
So concerning this soup kitchen volunteering business, I am definitely up for it. Ok, the end.

double blog up in nyc. we're in becky's room cuz my computer is down for the count. the monitor semi-exploded and there is a mouse dead inside it.
(karen says the monitor ticked...and then shut off. jerk) i have a 6-8 page paper to write tonight but more importantly, i have a tattoo!
karen and i both got them today. i was gonna leave you guessing, but i might as well just "spill the beans" now.
on my lower back, in pretty script writing, is "one love" and it will be there for the rest of my life.
now over to karen
hello. I got a purple orchid just below my belly button and to the right a little with "one love" written in script next to it. Ummm... oh yeah, New York really does suck, vicki's not crazy. We saw the first glimpse of humanity today outside the tattoo place as people gathered in the streets in awe of a really beautiful bright double rainbow- definitely a good sign about the tattoos, but other than that New york is full of people caught up in supeficial things and not fun and not love.
Yesterday we went to the Metrolitan Museum of Art and blew our minds.
vic - blew our minds is for sure. someting strange has happened to my brain/vision connection and patterns/raindrops will never look the same again. hello hallucination.
ok, we're out.
one love

Ok people, I am sooo confused. On Bjork's remix album Telegram, track one is remixed by LFO. I just made the connection that this might by the same LFO that did that disgusting song Summer Girls. I'm so upset. I also found out that her last album is produced and heavily influenced by mark bell, who is in LFO. what the fuck????!
