i am currently
1) writing a novel
2) writing a screenplay for a movie i will produce, direct and star in
3) planning my documentary on park ridge youth to be scored by local park ridge bands (thanks marisa)
4) completing applications to schools
5) working 24 hours a week
6) going to night school
7) reading nelson algren
8) re-decorating my room
so why oh why in all of that do i out of nowhere and with more desire and desperation than ever before think i need a boyfriend?
and more importantly, why do they always tell you that you can never find it when you're looking? people, we're ALL always looking. if we weren't, what would be the point?
i love chicago because everyone is so easily impressed here. you put on boots and a short skirt and every city worker in a mile radius seems to come running just to nod their head at you. god bless it.
marisa - the mysterious foul smell in my room ended up, in fact, being shit. seems that when i first arrived home i "kept" the cats in my room for long periods of time (according to my mom) and in a panic one of them shit on top of the heater vent to avoid shitting the carpet. that explains why the shit was wafting through the house. unfortunately, when my mom discovered the pile and attempted to clean it up, a terdy morsel fell down the register and is trapped forever in the vent. so, my room still smells like shit whenever the heat comes on, and looks like it will until the end of time or the shit loses its stank, whichever comes first. my mom also laughed at you for calling it "fecal matter". you dork.

My room mate just told me about this bizarre experience he had on the way back to the dorm where he was walking on this paved sidewalk for a ways in a straight line and then found himself at the beginning again. Then he started talking about how the shoestring broke on his shoe that he always wears and he has to wear these gym shoes now, and then he was like THAT's IT! It's the shoes! no wonder I had this wierd day! so he takes the lace out of his gym shoe, which is more than three times the length of the normal shoelace for that shoe (black leather doc m type thing) and bright white besides, and laces his shoe up with it. Then reflected on how that was much better. What a guy. I would have no other roommate.
Are you guys going back for spring break? when? I am off March 10 to 25
Marisa, you left your Peruvian hat at my house. If you are in town and feel like getting it, it is in the trunk of the blue car. (You can call my brother and tell him and he can get it for you or something. My mom probably wouldn't be able to get it because if jeff isn't there the blue car won't be either.)

well, i just pulled the first of what will be many more 15 hour days to come. it was great. i feel like a grown-up. my intro to film class was fabulous. the teacher was really cool even though i was the only one who laughed at her obscure french-dissing jerry lewis jokes. i cant help it: im a teacher's pet and i always have been. and i even made a friend which is more than i can say for four months of nyu classes. oooh, oakton community college - i will never ridicule you again (haha....wait).
in other news: which one of you knuckleheads left that bizarre cheech and chong message on my voice mail at 10:30 am a week ago? i only just heard it today and i am mighty perplexed. a male voice which i cant distinguish says, "hey - you ever heard that cheech and chong song, "venus"? you ever heard chong?" and then it gets cut off. wha? perhaps it wasnt any of you but then it's really strange. is someone trying to bust me?!
bedtime now as i have another day of work and school tomorrow. heehee...hard work. how i love thee.
i might even reward myself with a beer....wait a minute! alcoholic tendencies rising....rising...!
speaking of alcoholic tendencies, matt h. what are you doing this weekend? if you read this, get in touch. i have not your number.

Hey Vicki, good luck tomorrow on your First Day of School! don't be nervous!three nights ago, we were all joking around and saying "tomorrow's the first day of school" and whatever, and my friend andrew was like "I'm sooo nervous!" twas cute.

hey guys, I'm really quite drunk right now so watch out or something/ Shit, I can barely type. Yeah, so I'm starting to get into this guy, Mark, really only because I know that circa 2-3 months ago, he was really digging me. Now, this I ask you. Would it be "wrong" to get with him on account of desperation? I mean, it would really only be because I know I am on a dry spell of sorts, and I am desperate and just want to have someone's arm's around me. This one feminist said that sometimes the need for touch is mistaken for sexual needs, and I completely agree with that, but I am at the point where I will just take what I can get, y'know? So, let's make this a grade school thing and check the yes or no box for if you like me--by that I mean, tell me if it would be bad to get with him on the basis of desperation? Geez louise, I know I'll regret this post thing in the morning or afternoon or evening after I read this, but just tell me dudes! I have started to say dudes so much that the devry or Robert Morrisson college ad in which the guy says "blah blah blah dude" makes sense to me. And I know all y'all have the habit (I'm not denying that I don't) of reading posts and then moving on to the next subject like nothing, and then not answering and/or responding to the question asked by the person (me not know why I put and/or) and moving on, but I neeeeeeeddddddd to know this, okay? So respond mo fo's. or maux fauxs (that's just a little french humor for you). Yeah, dudes, and karen, you're links don't work
Also, we got into a discussion about which roommates we'd kiss, with all but one roommate present, and I got voted number one by margaret! woo-hoo!! Yeah, she's the one that is allergic to everything including the radiation from the microwave, but so what? you want to start something?!
Goodnight lovers and potential lovers who live down the street who wear white cornell hats and aren't my style at all but are "easy" to get with

tomorrow is my first day at oakton. my dad is still making mildly degrading jokes about the whole thing which is a little disheartening as i originally did it to make my parents happy. the moral is: dont waste your time trying to make other people happy. but i guess i already knew that.
my turtle pets, shitbox and fuckface, still appear to have not eaten anything besides their own feces since i bought them. right now a piece of turtle food is floating right in front of shitbox's (or is it fuckface? i never can tell) face and s/he has no interest in it whatsoever. if anybody has any turtle knowledge PLEASE email me about the right habitat/food for tiny turtles from china(town).
had a lovely evening of dinner with kit r. and returned home just to catch the best behind the music of all time: fleetwood mac. the passion, the drugs, the sex, the rock and roll! people! what more can you possibly want from a band? they even showed my favorite clip of stevie and lindsey buckingham reunited playing "the chain" and staring through to each other's souls with smoldering old rock star eyes. brilliant. they just dont make bands like that anymore. i'd like to see your "n'sync" or your "matchbox 20" have a torrid intraband affair. what do we have now? no doubt? blech. i'd like to see more musicians partying like rock stars and less, um, less...er...stuff.

today i entered phase three of my room cleaning. it's at that really scary point where even though i am purging everything, filling blue bag after blue bag, there is still more shit than i know what to do with. i went through all my shoeboxes of lies and finally got the initiative to throw out old pieces of paper whose origin or meaning i dont know. it was really kinda hard, being that i am the queen of symbolism. "this gum wrapper is from that time i thought about doug hanson." i also found all the notes anyone ever wrote me in high school and put them all in one place. i found every crazy chicken scratch scrawlings i ever did and kept and they are all so similar it's hysterical. each one has focuses on some boy im lamenting over and contains a curse on love, a "why does this happen to me?" section, and a vow that i will never love again. most of them dont identify the boy, only "you" is used so i have no idea who these are about. i figured they'd be about the top 4 runners that are ever-present but i found one called, "eric by vicki", and i had to really rack my brain over who eric is until i realized it's about eric erlandsen, luther league alterboy gone park ridge punk. the point is - things never change...im still the same person that i was at 13. i just have more wrinkles now.
ive been listening to tracy chapman's, "crossroads", repeatedly while ive been doing this task and i implore you all to go out and buy it now. i originally chose it because it was the only tape i could find and my cds are in my car but it has been a wonderful listening experience.
hope everything is well at respective colleges. love you all.

kelly and vicki, I need to know the name of that crappy techno song. I need it to comfort me late at night when I play Alice. That game is so good; I was up till 8 a.m. last night playing it. It actually made me paranoid and scared.

I had the most bizarre ass dream last night. Part of it was that I visited Vicki at her new school. Vicki--you had lost all this weight in a sickly sort of way and were wearing your hair relaxed-black hair in a semi-beehive style that was all the rage a few years back with black teen girls and there was blood and scum everywhere in the halls. This guy was holding someone up (as in "this is a hold up" not physically) and he had a knife and I was scared shitless, and vicki, in this tough ass woman way comes up to him and knocks his hand with the knife and makes a gun with her hand and goes "use a gun next time moron". It was verrrry strange. Peace out

tonight i began the daunting task that is gutting my room and throwing out everything i've been saving for 18 years so that i can move in more shit from school. as my mom would yell, "crap! crap! everywhere!!!" i cleaned out my closet and realized im an alcoholic and didnt even know it. inside boxes were a 6 pack of corona, half a bottle of amaretto, a bottle of some "harry" cream liquor, and a full bottle of never been opened kahlua. i have NO idea where all that liquor is from or what i was planning on doing with it. i only have the sneaking suspicion that the corona is from an event two years ago involving my mom going out of town and mike schorsch playing poker with us at my dining room table.
i also found a huge box full of jewelry boxes i collected as a child and haven't looked at in years. consequently, i also realized that i am a huge spoiled brat.
karen - the chevy chase/paul simon thing is because chevy is in the video for the song lip synching while paul plays the instrument. if you're 5 years old and unaware of paul simon, it appears that chevy is indeed the singer.

I just came back from Toronto for Ukrainian New Years
Montreal is losing its luster very fast
Please do me a favor and vote for option 4 in this poll. Option 4 says that the Russian language shouldn't be used at the same level as the Ukrainian language in Ukraine. Fight Russian Imperialism!!
Thanks
