I just got back from Seattle. we lost our race, but only by half a boat length- we're getting better- also found out that all of UW novice rowers rowed for at least 3 years in high school, and most of our team- except me and two other girls-just learned to row at the beginning of the year.. going back up next weekend while the first boats are at the San Diego crew classic. i'm staying at Rob, Kirk and Shaft's house tonight (b/c we aren't allowed back in the dorms until tomorrow) so I will get 2 good nights of partying in before spring break 2001 ends...ow ow! Steph- oddly shaped?? is it a bong?!?!? that's my only guess for right now, send that mofo! Smell ya later baters....

Today I got dicked over by our potential landlord who gave the place to someone else, and we went to Chinatown. K--I have birthday present for you, but I keep forgetting to send it because it's akwardly shaped. Francie and Courtney and I went to a bar last night had some booze, and hilarity did not ensue. Right now I'm so jealous of you liberal arts school beloit kids!! Dancing in the streets?! Oh I want that so much right now.

Today (I can safely say) has been one of the best days ever. Vic you'd be irritated by the fact that dancing in the streets was performed to the t (actually in the quad area outside of my dorm) We took out the old cardboard and the old boombox put on some Phat Trax (some WU TAng and other such delights and proceeded to have a breakin party for about five or so. This lasted for about three hours Mike your show will be heard you shoulesfulhufuuhfoihufofoihfoggood day. to all all all all all all allor so

leonard cohen is swell. my current favorite of his is this hilarious live rendition of "please don't pass me by" that they played on the february loop show on the campus radio station. but they cut the track part-way through because they didn't realize how much rambling the song contained.
feeling like shit. hope it's pms or something simple like that. two or three days ago i felt better than this, i thought.
modest mouse's "custom concern" in my head all day. now i am listening to it. very loudly. over and over again. because i can. it's nice.
haven't been sleeping again. i've grown to despise sunrise. haha. rhyming.
every square inch of my body itches. got really bad when i wasn't sleeping last night.
don't have much to say (to my adoring fans). so i'll go write now. somewhere else.

I am at work right now. I am in the religious studies building, workigng on this web page. Everyone else left an hour ago, and since then i have done absolutely nothing. Tonight I'm going to see into the woods performed somewhere on campus. I have been up late all week, and can't wait to take a nap when i get home.
So I was talking to this guy from Paris on napster, and he informed me of this crazy phenomenon known as Starmania. Apparently it began in the 80s, and was influenced by such songs as "The World Is Stone" by Cyndi Lauper and the american musical Greese. Because of the language barrier (which i love so much), I got a very shady explanation of Starmania. As far as I have gathered, Starmania is this for form entertainment that is like a musical. The differances are that Starmania productions are performed in huge stadium-arena type places. The songs are apparently really bad, and the whole production has a shitty disney-like approach to the whole extraveganza. Presently, the most popular starmania is Romeo and Juliet. The guy said that starmania is insanely popular in France and other countries, and it has a fake-american feel to it. He also said that the media is always talking about how Starmania is really popular in America, which is an outright lie! I was so entertained by the fact that we saw through the lies of a whole country of media mo fo's. If anyone else konws anything more about Starmania, please tell me because i still don't understand what it is.

Today has been a pretty good goddamn day. Yesterday I had weekly survivor fix at wally's with ella and alicia and we are so sadly into that show. When Jerri got kicked off yesterday, we burst into applause. Good news is that ella alicia and I have hopefully found a place to live next year. It's farther from school than we are now, but it's so close to "bars, restaraunts, AND cafes!"
Yesterday I watched Kings of Comedy. I like that D.L. Hughley, but Steve Harvey is a big fucking dick! Yeah, don't support him at all.
Marisa--have you listened to old school Leonard Cohen? Your being a fan of Elliott Smith might make you a fan of LC
Mike--useless links are for you

i really, really love my job. i am so lucky and thankful to have not one, but two jobs that i enjoy and that are comfortable and clean and full of nice people who think that i'm cute. i have no idea what it is like to have a mean boss and hopefully, i never will.
ok, so i was kinda depressed the last couple of days and i realized that it's all because i consistently fall into this horrible trap. i know that it's human nature to create scenarios and events in one's head but i think that women do it so much more with relationships. and then they go out and think that it's real and let it affect how they feel. i do it all the time. i will work myself into an absolute panic over something which involves another person and that sad fellow will have no idea that anything's happened. i run the gamut of emotions hour after hour, we break up, we make up, but it's all in my head. in reality, NOTHING has gone on. thankfully, i dont hold the other person accountable for anything, but i know that people do and that's why there are so many problems with couples. nobody can read your mind. and could we all please realize that that is probably a very good thing?

list of things im fucking tired of:
1. being the one who is the most interested.
that's really it.
oh, and the fact that you can forget about getting something to eat after 9 pm in this town.
im so eager goddamn beaver, willing, ready and able all the time and no one will capitalize on this. it's no wonder i think everyone else is stupid. they are.

The neutral news is that I realized this: I have unconsciously related smoking to a "bad girl" I don't take shit, tough facade all these years, and I am going to have to get over that if I want this to be permanent. So instead, I'm just going to keep getting bigger muscles so I can keep up my facade in different ways. It's settled!
The bad news is that Ella is probably not going to spend the summer in Jerusalem with her boyfriend as war is probably going to erupt soon.
Vic--I'll see your mos def with one rainer maria

good job steph on the no-smo. i am on day 9 myself. this article on the rise in smoking in teenage girls was on the cover of the tribune today. for the first time, smoking is really scaring me. i've always been able to ignore all the health warnings before with my flair of abandon (unabandon? what is that phrase?) but now i just really want to live. healthily. i guess you eventually just get to the point where destroying yourself isnt as much fun and it just seems sad and pathetic.
and now, a transcript from the tribune in the world briefs -
from Amsteradm:
"Amsterdam police Tueday launched a high-tech offensive against ever growing mobile phone theft, bombarding stolen telephones with text messages warning thieves of the error of their ways. 'This device is pinched. Purchase or sale is an offense - the police,' is the short text message that begins flashing up on the display of stolen phones every three minutes as soon as the theft is reported. 'The idea is to drive the thieves mad,' said an official involved in the operation." only in amsterdam.

damn right. rock and roll!!
ahem. so, this week sucks already and it's only tuesday. rowed in the rain all morning, came home for a few hours, slept and went back to the boathouse to row some more and do weight circuits... and tomorrow is supposed to be hard. last night wasn't too bad. Some girls who are staying at another house invited me over to chill with them, we got a little drunk, had a little fun, good times. I got to bond with some of the girls a little- I was telling laura about our smoke spot in the barn at bald hill and she told me the reason it doesn't have walls is because someone was having a party out there and they took them down to burn them in the bonfire. I felt bad coming back to the other girls who hadn't been invited and were already asleep in the living room. It felt so weird to creep into a house I'm a guest in and crawl into a hidabed with I couldn't tell who... wait, get this: at 11:30pm! once again, whoop-de-doo, spring break. I didn't sleep well at all and had two very vivid dreams, one really disturbing and one just plain weird. Do you think drinking effects your dreams? let's hope so. I checked my grades online today and the A I was sure I had in writing 222 was actually a B+ and I know it was because of my less than stellar attendance because I got A's on all my papers. I've screwed myself yet again and am determined to go to at least 80% of my classes next term. yeeah. We all watched charlie's angels at another girls house tonight. what a ridiculous movie-- I loved it. we came back here around 9:30 and everyone went to bed. luckily, I get the bedroom tonight so I can stay up late like the hellion I am and discover the joys of someone elses winamp playlist. --definitely one of the things I miss most from my room. it's so damn frustrating to drive past my building everyday and not being able to go home, plus living out of my duffle bag sucks. Just talked to Jon one the phone and feel much better. goodnight.
ps, vicki: zz top? ha ha, me too.
steph: I hope you're still winning the battle vs. the cylinders of death, you're too kewl.

Today was such a good day. I spent 36 hours intermittently working on my paper for Women in Judaism and Islam and it was the best paper I have written in college. Very satisfactory. I got an A on my Japanese quiz worth 25%, and my jaw was back to normal! Yesterday, see, I sprained my jaw somehow, which made it hard to chew, and the left part of my jaw where the bones join started to swell. It was very strange, but now it's fine. It's also day 11 of smoke free Stephanie.
Yesterday was also the near death of carefree youth in our house, as pregnancy test results were awaited (not mine). Fortunately, all is good. Shiiiiite. There is a rising subculture of fun girl music that I am really really liking, because many are feminists or at least have feminist attitudes. Mmmm feminism...how I love you!
Francie's up to visit in 2 days! fun
oh, vicki, up the yin-yang? wha?
And please look at these postcards that I love

i dont wanna write this down, i just wanna tell you how i feel right now
thank you so much stephanie for introducing me to mos def. i bought the cd yesterday and i can't get enough. it's the best hip hop i have ever heard. goddammit it's so good!
my mom is out of town for the evening and i am feeling all weird, as usual. except for matt schiltz, who i had lunch with (thank god), i did not interact with anyone under 30 today. it's extremely bizarre that these are my wild college years and while everyone i know is completely devoid of adult contact, i am immersed in the grown-up world. i want out! when you grow up, your soul dies, according to ally sheedy and kelly, and arent they the same person anyways? i cant wait till summer when that waste of time, oakton, will be over and my job will stop being serious and will just be a summer internship that doesnt matter for shit. i tire of responsibility (dad? dad, is that you?)
tonight i realized (or came to terms with) that along with the massive lists of physical ailments (bad heart, bad knees, bad achilles tendon, short-ass legs, short-ass neck) and emotional/psychological problems (alcoholism, addiction to damn near anything near me, quick to wrath, hatred of men, etc.) my parents have passed on to me; they are also the reason that i am a person who dances to zz top. and is dead serious about it. and loves every single sexually suggestive, lame lyric combined with 80's guitar licks that those bearded men can give me. and you know the kind of dancing im talking about - that aerosmith groupie standing on a table thrashing arms over head dance. rrrrowl.
warning (this especially goes out to mike ray who will probably put up the most resistance): this summer there will be classic rock up the yin-yang.

holy moly. i just watched dancer in the dark and my eyes are so swollen from crying i can barely see. i am so glad that i watched it alone because my blubbering and thrashing and sobbing was so intense another person would have had to leave the room.
i didnt watch the oscars but im really happy steven soderbergh won for best director for traffic. finally, for once, that blasted academy agrees with me.
ive been having really weird dreams too. dreams that are plotting to ruin everything! everything i tell ye!

Hi everybody! (hi, Dr. nick)
So, Spring Break 2001 is off to a roaring start...not. I spent the weekend in Portland at Jon's house. It was nice to get out of Corvallis if only for a little while. He drove me back today so I could get to practice at 3. Ate dinner: 'trainer's table' with the team in the valley football center at the stadium- It's still weird getting use to all this student-athlete treatment. I'm staying at some varsity girls' house now with a few other girls from my team. We are going to have two practices a day one at 9 and another at 12. I'll be in Seattle this weekend for a race against UW. I think a couple weeks away from my friends (read: marijuana) will be good for me. I miss you guys a lot and think about you everyday. hope you feel better soon, vic.

Especially you Mike--you look like you're fucking twelve compared to now. Oh yeah--I asked you this before, but I forgot the answer---would you or would you not wear a muscle shirt? There are really cool one's here and I want to make someone wear them, so really, any boys out there--tell me your opinion on muscle shirts--matt? mark? john? others?

sleep sleep so much sleep this weekend. feels good. so many strange dreams this morning.
kurt made some reference to similarities between myself and the character from sylvia plath's bell jar in ye olde guestbook. i'm not sure if i was supposed to take offense to it or not because i've never actually read the bell jar, mostly out of protest. but i'm just guessing, based on my limited knowledge of miss plath, that it was in reference to my downward spiral. thanks.
the 609 art show opens tomorrow. this means i need to finish ode to screamo stat. should be easy enough except that the oil paint that covers the heart is still not yet dry (painted it thursday night). so, i dunno, we'll see. i'll take pictures of the gallery so y'all can see it. okay, now i glue broken shards of glass to plywood. ciao.
