I want this ukrainian kid so badly, and I can't read his signals! It's making me crazy! However, sometimes he treats me like one of the guys, and a guy on boycrazy.com said that when he was 13 that's what he used to do with girls HE liked! Oh, but wait a minute, I'm not 13 and don't listen to spawns of the patriarchy like boycrazy.com! More like youfuckin'makemecrazy.com! or something...
Yeah, but seriously folks. Woke up from the worst hangover in history. I like the kind when you are just really hungry and have to eat homefries all day, but I hate the startled awake at 7:30, gotta puke, huge headache kind.
I just found a Bayou cafe in Montreal and I am very very excited. All I want are sweet yams and corn fritters.
So to sum it up, I have a lust for southern vegetables and northern men.
And to the womyn in the red dress, there are obviously men who support peace.

Oh my fucking God, Aaron Haber has been tracking his demise on this site! This is the funniest thing that I have ever heard. I wonder when he figured out that he wasn't the most popular funnyman with "all kinds of stalkers" and really just a sad old man with one of those turned around paper boy hats and a shakin' belly! Oh, if only he'd returned a favor all those years ago...

"NO MORE FUCKING WITH AARON HABER EVER."-victoria lee conrad

foe eva eva eva?
never seems so long until you're wrong... and you have to listen to aaron haber's songs.
check'em out on his site:.....i can't remember the site name but i'm sure it's something like Imanotfunnykilljoydickhead.com.
I will no longer have friendly, polite conversations with A-ron haber over the internet. i promise.

i also have a problem with loud, grating sounds now. perhaps i am melodramatic (eh, whadda ya gonna do?) but for a good week after the attack i thought that these gunshots i heard meant it was the big one.

yeah steph, i kind of know what you mean with the violent images thing, except i can't hear harsh noises like the shower curtain scraping against it pole (metal on metal), doors slamming, or really loud yelling. also i have been listening to simon and garfunkel so maybe i will join in your little hippy movement, heh.

Dan, the make-out boy, joined the National Guard on an impulse decision this summer, but now he might be sent out if the federal governement requests people from the state governments. It's really fucking upsetting to know. I talked about it with him and he seemed pretty casual about the whole thing--meaning that his head is fried from bootcamp (check plus) or he isn't admitting his feelings about it to himself. I strongly recommended going A-WOL. Bill said he'd enlist if they asked for volunteers, and Joe probably feels the same way. I'm so glad to be away from this shit in my "safe little haven" (that's what I like to think) of Canada. The only way that I have been able to go on with life is by pretending that this never happened. Most of the time I have distanced myself to the point where it's just a far off thought, because thinking about it makes me sick to my stomach almost every time.
I can't watch the news because it reminds me of my own mortality and it terrifies me. I have become hypersensitive to violent speech, which is something my mom has always had--(I wonder if that is a reflection of her early life being surrounded by war and violence)--but now I will not stand for hearing someone say "yeah, she's gonna kill me, she'll be so mad" because it devalues human life so much. I won't even see violent movies anymore, because now they are a possibility like no other time before (for me). I want to dive into this anti-war culture, but I feel helpless and all of my thoughts for peace seem insufficient. There was a march for peace here, but I missed it. What good would a march for peace all the way in montreal do to change that chimp (read: Bush's) mind. His support rating is 85 percent now, which is terrible, but he is doing what he can with such a burden.
I'm going to go to sleep now, but I think my "boy craziness" has been induced from a desire to get away from the real problems of the world. In fact, I'm sure it has.

peace rally in chicago this weekend! i am soooo excited because i have never been to a protest before. god i love popping my cherries. i was going to drive all the way to d.c. to protest at the white house but it's way easier to do it here, plus like my mom says, "you've got to represent where you live". representin'. word.
my mom thinks she's going to go march too. she's all scared thanks to fox news who told her, and millions of other viewers, to carry all this shit in the trunk of their cars (blankets, canned food, water, flashlight, clothes, etc) in case the bomb drops or whatever and they have to be evacuated. i was talking to her on the phone and she said they suggested that all families or friends have a said meeting place. so she said that when we're all going to die she would come up here with the trunk full of supplies and i said i would keep two packs of cigarettes in my trunk. mom: "we'll just smoke away the end of the world"
heehee.
man i love her so much it's unbelievable. she also suggested i involve myself with a radical feminist organization in chicago, which i plan on doing asap.
(as soon as i finish this botany lab and eat this brownie.)
i'm so excited that everything is vibrating on such a high frequency right now. this world really pumps my nads.

Oh my, why do these things come in bunches? I got home and found that the ukie kid I hooked up with at Labor Day (a repeat offender mind you...of makin' out with me...not criminal activity...or is it?...ha ha, just had to throw that line in) had sent me a letter full of mixed messages (sort of). He made clear that he "digs me", but how he was expecting me to respond or why he was exactly sending it, I know not. So now we have a 2:30am phone date--way past my bedtime mind you! And all kinds of options are opening up. Shit, I am boy crazy, and you know what? I'm lovin' it. For today. But the overarching desire in my life right now is to surround myself with peace and love. Now all you clowns might be thinking "what a dirty hippy", but I am prepared to wear that badge of honour! All I want is peace. Just because the people who are being murdered has moved locations to the middle east does not make it any more okay. American lives, or non-American lives, everyone is at the same level. Human-- And it's been said before, but apparently it needs to be said over and over and over again.
One part "don't be humble, you're not that great"-golda meir, one part "you're the star of your own show"-vicki, and one part "I see myself as a little off the wall lately when I look from the outside, but I know what "crazy" people have been talking about all these years"-steph, makes me.

A) That quote sounds much better sung
B) I am a big fucking ball of sexual frustration! Get me a beer and a man, NOW! I was in Polish class watching a video and I got all kinds of worked up for no reason, and on my walk home I wanted to touch every boy I saw.
C) The alley cats are moaning again. Y'know what that means? Even the cats are getting it on!!!
C'mon someone light my fucking fire!!

today has been filled with ups and downs. First, Vicki lit the feminist fire inside me again, and I felt completely rejuvenated. However,, Ella just got news that a woman she knew in Israel that took care of her cousins and who was only 28 years old was gunned down in a drive by shooting on her way back from Tel Aviv. This has brought me back to the new sad reality that has been encompassing me lately.
Just be nice to others, that is all I ask of you.

I'd just like to start this blog off with a little trip on the memory train [since the peace train is banned (?)]. Hop on! Come on, kids! (wink). At exactly this time last year i was doing mass amounts of college entry essays, yearning for teen murder mystery parties, and getting grounded for boning my boyfriend. Very little has changed. But seriously, folks, the contrast between then and now is....great. so that's my blog. real college essays kind of scare me, as there is more pressure, i still want a teen murder mystery party, and the cruel irony of this sitution is that now that i can basically fuck in peace, my bed is empty. except for me and my sheets and stuff. i guess i was being a little melodramatic there. this is kelly j coffey, signing off, till 3 months from now, when i blog again.

fucking addendum:
i am a feminist. pure and simple. i always have been and always will be. it is extremely hard for me to understand how ANYBODY could not identify themselves as feminists because what that means is that you do not believe that all people should be given the same human rights.
what happens is that sometimes i do radical (and i never really thought of them as radical before) things because sometimes it takes a really big alarm to wake people up. and i know that no matter what i do, no matter how out there, how rebellious and counter-active it may be, no matter how loud i yell, it is still nothing in comparison to the humming, numbing drone of patriarchy that is in all of our ears.
when i was a little kid i had a reoccuring dream that i would get when i had a high fever. it wasn't visual at all and i havent retained any real images from it. it was a swirl of men's voices, loud and confusing, combined with the sound of motorcycles and revving engines and in the midst of all that noise was a small girl's voice repeating over and over again, "can i have a glass of water?"
so i am not going to apologize for any action that i take against oppression. i realized tonight that people are mad that i scrawled "NO" over a bunch of degrading "women's magazine" literature in the bathroom because i didn't talk to everyone about it first. if every revolutionary made sure to discuss with the whole world before she stood up for what is right, nothing would ever get done. america's freedom allows me and all women to be degraded in all facets of life everyday. and america's freedom allows me to scrawl "NO" all over its filthy face.
i know that i tend to think in the abstract. i know that very often i do not think to comfort the individual who is suffering because she doesn't know any goddamn better. i'm not here to save anyone. i'm not here to mediate. i'm not settling and i'm not compromising for anything that compromises my or anyone else's humanity.
i want to challenge. i want to stir. i want to dig up everything that is underneath the surface of all our actions and face it.
i'm gonna blow the fucking lid right off this world.

holy feminist revolution, batwoman. and in my own backyard. well, hallway.
i came home from a wonderfully relaxing weekend with mom to find the gals of 609 plastering the hallway with a million naked images from the abercrombie and motherfucking fitch catalog. and now, i am riled. and now i am radical. and now i am never shutting my mouth again.
i could explain this in further detail but it's almost too stupid. and it's certainly too fucking sad that people, WOMEN, dont realize what is going on with their world and how they are systematically kept from fulfilling their potential as full human beings. how is this still going on? how are people still so IGNORANT!?
we, men and women, are all not realizing our full potential as long as this dehumanization is going on. i will not tolerate the dehumanization of any person for any reason at all. it's not going to win me any friends, and i don't care.
tonight i have been sickened, saddened and mad as hell. i feel like life finally called me to action this weekend. i suppose if i'm gonna be drafted, it might as well be for the good fight.

Could everyone start blogging again...please?! How else can I consume precious studying time?! I realized how much discipline it takes to live here. It is extremely easy to get caught up in loafing around with a cigarette and a good beer. However, that cannot be my way this year. I want to go abroad third year, but I have to raise my grades, stat. First I will listen to Janis Ian's "Society's Child (baby I've been thinkin')" which everyone should consume whole heartedly. Then I will eat something and drink more coffee. This cake of a day will be topped off with the heavy butter frosting of Social Stratification and the sprinkles of feminist theology! (Maybe I'm lying because I have to get a little Last Dance with Mary Jane in there). (that would be the Tom Petty song, not the real thing...that last dance happened a long time ago).
