I'm an aunt!!! I'm so excited!!! This morning at 8:22, A E P was born!! Her name will be Alyeksandria in Ukr, which is so nice. I could not be happier. Ella, Alicia, Talia and I bought champagne and toasted. My brother was so happy when he told me; he said "she's so beautiful and small. I can't wait till you see her." I'm going to see her in a week or so, I can't wait. I was going to call all of you, but then I got tired. I love her so much already.

Last night we watched Steal This Movie, about Abby Hoffman and the Chicago 7. I recommend it. Janeane Garafolo (sp?) played the wife. I got entirely too drunk and called my mom up to tell her that I knew what I was doing with my life and how I really wanted to quit smoking by the end of this semester. I could not stop talking to her, in spite of the fact that she began to preface things with "Oh yeah! I mean, last night on Oprah, there was this woman who..."
What did I tell her that I wanted to do with my life? First I'm going to major in sociology and political science with a minor in women's studies. Then I'll take a few years off, go to law school, and then go apeshit helping people in Chicago. Also, the more I think about kids, the more that I realize that I only want to have them if I am married to a man who would be willing to take the traditional female role of rearing the kids and cleaning the house. I want to have little to do with that, because when you're creating a revolution, you don't have time to rear the kids. On the other hand, I also do want to be really involved in my kids' life and breed little revolutianaries who would play with my sisters kids who are going to be, as she has already planned it, "intellectual renegades" and my brothers kids, who are probably going to be cool hard-ass punks. Anyways, I will do one of two things with kids--either raise them equally with their father or have him raise them more. I refuse to have a career and come home and be expected to do all the house and kids shit. I fucking refuse.

im the happiest girl in the world. im a little worried that i might burst open and fill the streets with gold shimmery glitter/dust (because surely nobody this happy is full of regular human blood and guts). i knew there was a reason i dont take medication for my ridiculous mood swings - this would be it.
and of course i still have that tape. im "young and proud", aren't i?
"...we are marching on the same side of destiny...on the same side of DEST-IN-YEEE!EE!EEE!EEEEE!"

That reminds me of the time my mom and I drove to Kentucky one Easter in the VW and all we had to listen to was the Ace of Base tape we found in there. About half way through Indiana we had the whole thing memorized with corresponding hand gestures.... that trip kinda sucked. We spent two days in Lexington, I think, and then my mom thought, "well, we're half way there so why don't we drive to south carolina?" so we did. And we listened to Ace of Base the whole time. As a result of that somewhat tramatic overexposure to Swedish pop, I can answer any questions you might have regarding any of the lyrics on that wretched album. I didn't ask for this gift, the lord really does work in mysterious ways. ha ha, I kill me. But don't ask me to borrow the tape. Somewhere around South Bend, I could stand it no longer and I tossed that puppy out he window. The sudden outburst startled my skiddish mother and we slid on some ice and flew into the ditch on the side of the highway. We got stuck in the snow of course, because that just how it goes, isn't it? Isn't it, Ace of Base?!

So what's up with Uncle Matt, you ask?
It's my birthday Sunday. I'm having a party Saturday night. If any of you are going to be home VICKI then you should stop by. No present required. I'm thinking of doing a Hobbit-style birthday and giving everyone who comes a present. Right. I've been rather healthy lately. I know a couple of you might be concerned. Well, physically healthy, anyway. I wouldn't say I'm mentally unhealthy; I've just been sublimating the stress I should be experiencing. Like right now- It's 1:35, and I have 100 pages to finish of 350 I've read today, and I also have a 5 page paper to write on this. But I'm not stressed out at all. I could just lay down and go to sleep, and do a shitty paper in the morning. This place is weird. In most schools, I'm assuming, there is pressure outside of class, while in class you can just pass out and/or die. Here, all the pressure is in-class. Outside of class, if you get your reading done, you've got all the time in the world. You only have to take 3 classes to have a full load here. To graduate, you can take 2 years of 3 and 2 years of 4 classes. Aside from reading, I seriously don't get much homework. Of course, I dropped Math. Anyway.
Well, I'm going to read some. I'll get back to this.

Also, I would like everyone's opinion on the Virgin Suicides.
p.s. Don't you hate it when you all of the sudden realize you are surrounded by people who are not single? has this ever happened to anyone?

aah, I am excited for you guys coming up here as well. I have no idea what we will do; I hope there is a random party that happens that weekend, or we'll have to create our own party. Oh my god! My roomate was just talking in his sleep in Korean! soo cool. Yeah, so I kind of want yo uguys to come here real bad, cuz I'm feeling like the single guy stuck in couples-ville. I'm not devastated like i was before, but still it's kind of annoying in a very specific way. I'm sure you guys know what i am talking about, seeing as almost no one here has ever had a boyfriend/girlfriend. (did i just reveal that to the american public? oh well). And I know we are going to have so much fun, just seeing each other. I can't wait to sneak you guys into the cafeteria. it'll be so classic! well, off to bed.

I am getting really excited for break man---out to cleveland to visit mike with vicki and then drive home (or that's what it looks like for now). T is apparently going to give birth this week!! I am getting really excited. Best case scenario would actually be tomorrow because my sister leaves for pr-g on wednesday. Hey vic--that would be really terrible if kit r. became sterile---you would have ruined another boy's life!!! (don't think that I've forgotten about that kid whose spelling tests you used to rip up)

heeheehee... i just pulled a semi-mean prank that was completely unnecessary but it is making me laugh on the inside a great deal.
so kit r. and i were out to coffee and he expressed desire in getting some tylenol pm so he could get to sleep tonight. i thought i might have some so he came back here to get it but i had none. i did have some of my handy anaprox which is pretty guaranteed to knock you out. i offered him some and after some deliberation about taking other people's prescription meds, he took two (the dosage is one, but im an, um, overdoser). it's pain medication alright, but what i neglected to tell him was that it's pain medication for menstrual cramps. hahahaha.
im sure it wont really do anything weird cuz a pain reliever is a pain reliever but there is something extremely satisfying about a man taking medicine that stops one's uterine walls from contracting.
it would really suck if he became sterile after this. am i an asshole...or just a prankster?
ive been trying to get a boy to take this shit for years. god im sick.
mike ray - you better call me soon and stop feeling sorry for yourself. i know that i wrote a bunch of sadsackshit on this when i was in a wretched rut, but i kinda wish someone had used tough love on me then. call me! we'll talk! and i'll smoke cigarettes on my balcony in my leather jacket and snow boots. it'll be great.
i love you all. im really happy. goodnight.

Fine Vicki, I guess this isn't the winter of your discontent, but it is definately the winter of my discontent.

thank you for all the phone calls, really really made my day. Billy healy? who knew?! so nice. So, basically my birthday was great. All my friends were over here tripping balls Friday night when my birthday rolled around. Serenaded with bongos, jell-o shots, thouroughly entertained. Went to crew practice at 7 Saturday morning- not as bad as it sounds, rather enjoyable. Jon had a geology field trip in the morning, but we hung out for a few hours when he got back-- still tripping balls from many many hours earlier. made a good haul with this one. Aaron gave me 3 CD's of a band called The Tea Party. never heard of them, but it's really interesting stuff. Gonzo gave me a little baby African violet in a holder intended for a tea light with tree frogs all over it- beautiful. roses from Gabe, dinner from Megan, a joint from Sam (he's from winnetka), and a 20 sack from aaron- another one. A few of us went to a 3 house block party- not as cool as it sounds, but I smoked with Satan, and not many people can say that. So today, my day off, I'm off to Eugene to buy a big glass bong with the money my mom gave me. peace.

oh crushes you sweet sweet things. I have a crush (today) on a polish boy who was at this movie night thing. It was a fun lil' get together, but it has caused me turmoil on account of walking home with ella and her semi-hook-up-kid walter and having a really fun walk, but then hanging around with them and then them being "uh, we're uh going to bed now" Fuck man!!! Fuckin' fuckin' A!!!! All I want is the polish boy to tell me nice intellectual things and say "you are the most brilliant person I have ever met!!" and all that whatever shit. Yeah, alright, I'm drunk, goodnight
