Actually young Stephanie, that pig is real. He was born that way and an anti-cruelty group has taken him in. They changed his name to ditto. no comment.
How did I know this?
Strangly enough, a small article has been on the biology tackboard almost since the begining of the year. I looked at it one day, so i wouldn't have to talkto a classmate i don't like, and read it. They included a picture. it was in black and white. the end.

If that pig at the top of the page is real, he or she must have had a really horrible terrible life. Ukraine had twoheaded farm animals after chernobyl.

So my sister is going to speak at this "manifestation" thing in Prague. She will be making a speech on the negative aspects of the Ukrainian president and why he needs to be deposed. It's great! She did the English translation. [If you look under photos, the last page of them, second picture, she's standing between two flags] I'm so proud! My grandma is in the hospital for a hip replacement, but I think that she is going to be okay.

Hey Vicki, go to Best Buy or wherever and get Yo La Tengo's And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out, and then listen to it with Kit R outside on some nice warm night. You will have a good time, trust me (heeheehee)

Today Carla was being followed as she walked down the street---she really was being followed, because she did the stop, turn around, cross the street, walk the other way thing a few times and this guy kept following her. So finally, she turns around, gives him the finger, and screams "fuck you!! I've already seen your face, buddy!! It's not a good idea!!!" and he turns around and walks away. Pretty crazy, eh? When she first told me, she was all freaked out about it, but since she likes to play things up for her audience, the second time she was laughing and making herself seem like this hard-core girl who made this tough guy really scared. Boy, I really like her sometimes, and I ain't jokin'.

It depends what you are contemplating (i.e. the emptiness of death, the means to an end, sociology and statistics, that cyborg behind you)

"Happiness extends, then, just so far as contemplation does, and those to whom contemplation more fully belongs are more truly happy, not as a mere concomitant but in virtue of the contemplation; for this is in itself precious. Happiness, therefore, must be some form of contemplation."

i finally unpacked my old computer and set it up in my room. i thought it was going to be a joyful reunion but instead it is so bogged down with bad feelings and shit from nyu that i almost put it back away. my mp3 list plays like what i imagine the real sylvia plath would have been listening to. even the happy songs are nearly too emotion laden for proper playing. what was i thinking - "gee, remember that time you wanted to kill yourself and walked through each day in a depressed, out of control, on drugs, paranoid and scared shitless state of non-being? yeah, that was grrreat...now available on soundtrack!" it was really creepy - the last playlist i set up was still on there. when i was 12 and really depressed because my dad was ruining my life i listened to melissa etheridge, "yes i am" non-stop and played kings quest 5 until my hands were frozen bc there was no heat in the corner of my room where the computer was. and to this day, i cannot listen to that album because of all the horrible memories...yes, that's why i cannot listen to melissa etheridge, "yes i am". that's the only reason.
(oh for chrissakes, mike, pogoh "friend x" is on there! pussy-rocking emo)
i was so very sad earlier but a phone call to one ms. stephanie p. changed all that. must to bed.
i started my great american novel today - the first episode is about dick, the crazy ex-part-time butcher who eerily resembled charlie watts. strange...maybe that's him on your wall, steph!

I was just listening to Erykah Badu's "In love with you" and caught myself twirling my hair and staring dreamily at a picture of a young Charlie Watts on the wall. Wierd.

Speak of the apocalypse...
this is from The Globe and Mail--a legitimate newspaper
Attack monkeys: "The Indian government has put several large monkeys on its payroll in a last-ditch attempt to scare away thousands of smaller rhesus monkeys that have been attacking New Delhi's civil servants, sabotaging hotlines and stealing state secrets," says The Sunday Telegraph. "The fearsome langur monkeys now patrol South Block . . . snarling menacingly at intruders."

Oh God, my roommates and I were just sitting around talking about childhood memories, it was great. Alicia's older sister used to play all these games with her such as "hell heal" which consisted of her sister jamming her heal into her forehead, and school bus which was her sister dragging her up and down the stairs in a blanket. He he, but the best part was that alicia used to go over to her friends house and the father would go "okay kids, jump in the car, we're going to friendly's" and all 9 of them would pile into the station wagon, and he'd get in the other car and drive away himself!!! Cruel, yet somehow funny. It took them a while to catch on--it happened quite a few times. Margaret, who is generally quiet, used to have a gang in kindergarted called the meowie cats, they were all girls who would terrorized the boys. Ella used to bok like a chicken in kindergarten as a form of protest, because the teacher wouldn't let them read yet and Ella really wanted to. Talia used to be a huge liar, and Carla used to have all kinds of shitting problems as a child. Now that you know all there is to know about my roommates...hmm, here's a crazy memory, 7th grade, Jane and I start playing truth or dare around my house. It escalates until we're like "okay, we're going to run half way around the front of the house and then back, completely naked" So we're standing by the garage and the door from the kitchen opens--we're like "oh shit" and take off running 3/4 of the way around the house and crouching in the bushes, clutching our underwear and bra's for dear life. It turns out to be my brother, but he doesn't find us. However, he did throw all of our clothes over the fence, and I had to crawl out of the bushes in my underwear and ask him if he knew where our clothes were. He went and got them, but only after I had to explain my fool self. Shit, I can't believe that we did that--7pm at night in river forest and we're running naked. Good times though.

I have a throat infection. I want to go to the FTAA protests in Quebec City, but exams cloud that vision. Carrots and corn, carrots and corn. Where are the ole heart-wrenching confessionals of days past people? If I had some good stories, I'd tell 'em, but I'm really just procrastibating. I do have a new thing for The Stooges...mmmm. Wait, did Iggy Pop really bite off an animal head on stage? Now, I know you people don't work well with question and answer form on blogger--but please fill me in. Alright, I really have to go write this paper now---I'm listening to James Taylor and Carly Simon sing "Mockingbird" which is a very endearing and simultaneously hoakey song.

I just talked to my family on speakerphone--very humorous. Lesya (my niece)--are those parentheses still necessary?--says "hi" "okay" "good" and "dada". When I excitedly told carla, she said "okay, you guys are psycho! she's 2 months old--it's not possible." Hey, maybe it's just not possible for me not to want to punch you each and every day for a brand new reason carla! Upon hearing that her name was alexandria, carla also said "that's such a pretensious name, ha ha ha". Whatever man! And if you out there, reading this, think that my niece can't say all those things, follow these directions: a) kick yourself in the head b) realize that my niece is a genius [this is of course a completely objective and unbiased opinion] and c) start believing.

Oh Ukrainian people, how I love you so! I went to church all early today and saw this girl Stefanka who I know from chicago, and who used to live here. So her parents invite me and this other girl over for Easter breakfast and I had such a great time. It was just this girl, her parents, and both sets of grandparents. They made us drinks of vodka and cranberry when we got there (an easter first!) and fed us well. When I was offered ham, I declined and said that I didn't eat meat. The whole table stopped and looked at me and then began to mutter how "it's a holiday, you can eat meat on a holiday...why wouldn't you eat meat?" and then one of the grandmother's said "she must be one of those vegetables"--she meant vegetarians. And then in typical Ukrainian grandmother style, 10 minutes after everyone stopped eating, the grandmother said "okay, I'm going to make lunch now..I'll go roast the chicken" and everyone was like hey, we just ate breakfast 10 minutes ago, we're all full!!! It took much convincing for her to not make it. I had a really good time---it made my end of the year.
Oh, and now, margaret is going to stay in this house, so we might be getting this other place. I really like margaret and she's a really good person, but she's just plain unfun. Happy Easter folks!
