Who would have thought banner-ads had so much to offer?
If somone were only to see the US through news and the internet it would be pretty easy to overestimate the level of its being fucked up.

SHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUP!!!!! SHUT UP!!!!!!!!! My friend, she exaggerates. i have most certainly not been using those pills to help me study. And, thanks to them, sleeping hasn't been a problem anymore. My head, it aches.

it seems that america's original sweetheart, ms. kelly j. coffey, has been hiding a jessie spanos-esque, crippling caffiene pill addiction from the entire world. today i learned that she has been popping at least 1.5 of those lil, yello, not-so-different "learning friends" a day and then writhing till dawn. she discovered that this was a problem not when she turned into an insane, moody monster whose fits of rage were as violent and unpredictable as mother nature herself (with bigger tits), but when she read on the back of the box that caffiene can cause nervousness, edginess, and problems sleeping. she is currently trying to sleep it off.

Rereading that last post just reminded me of camping at Chris Reillys house and K and I trying in vain to convince Mike Fong to go to the car and get pringles for us..."Mike, we'll give you $15 if you go get the pringles for us!!! $15!!!" "Okay, if you come with me" "no"

Holy Mother Lord Jesus Christ. Alicia, Ella and I decided to make up a game called "do a chore for me" which consisted of drawing names from hats and whoever lost had to go buy something at the store for the others (it was raining). It evolved into a card game and betting 10 cents on who would win, and then Carla (whom we call Rabbi Maggiottostein, because she wants to be Jewish) came over and we were pissing out pants laughing so hard at this trivial card game. It was so much fucking fun. Then Ella and Carla were being babies when we were playing win, lose, or draw, and Alicia and I started screaming "Team Baby" at them. So Ella gets up and is all "Carla, that's it! We're reclaiming "team baby" just like dyke!" and proceeded to revel in the glory of the name 'team baby'. We played for 2 and a half hours---it was so sweet. Ah, I'm gonna miss that fucker, ella, when she goes off to Israel next semester.

After another semi-useless night of staying up and fooling myself into late-night studying be beneficial...
Went out to lunch with michelle and this other kid today. We biked up to Little Italy and had delicious Italian food. Shit, I miss the hard-knockin' Italians of Harlem Avenue, so it was good to see some here. Max, the other kid, whose really not a kid at all, gave me new perspective on things. He was saying how it doesn't matter if the other person likes you back or not, because that won't change your opinion of them, and basically, fuck it! who gives a damn--just do your own thang (my extrapolation). Now, this view is in contrast to my previous analyze everything till it crumbles in your hands from over-reading and over-picking and over-everything view of being interested in someone. Is the way I overanalyze when I'm interested in someone a socialized gender role? It's very likely. So I adapted this other previously mentioned view, which is probably influenced by male gender role socialization. Now, if male is treated as subject/actor, and female as object/other in society, then I am learning how to behave as the other. So by learning certain learned traits of males, I am teaching myself how to be the subject. THIS is why I disagree with the type of feminist (I'm not sure that these people do call themselves feminists) argument that 'I absolutely believe in female/male equality, but I don't think that women should try to be like men, but instead value themselves for being women" Ha! This is very good that I have finally worked this out for myself. I knew that I agreed with aspects of that view--for example, valueing my being female expressed in loving my tits--but I also knew that something underneath that view irked me, but I couldn't articulate it until now. It's that, how can women value themselves for being women, when they are taught to be other?! Should we be valueing ourselves for our otherness, or should we learn how to be subjects first, before valueing our "female qualities" or what have you...Wonderful.
Eyes so tired, but here's a quote from an e-mail from mac, that kid from new orleans--it goes out to my girl vicki conrad.

Lately I have been having paranoia about people finding out about the monster and so have to continually clear my internet history before people come over.

The pigs at Geico tell me that it will cost me 1101 dollars per six months to insure my car. Jeeze, what did I do do deserve that? I found another one for 816, though, and that's not that bad. The reason I'm bringing this up is because this guy next door is selling a 78 Malibu for 500 bucks. I'm taking it for a test drive tomorrow, hopefully it will purr like the rusty kitten that it is. It really is my dream car, despite the rust and paint spots and missing rear turn signal and lights that you have to "Go up under the dashboard and jiggle" to work. I have dreams of sanding it down and re-painting it, and cleaning the engine and buying new spark plugs and installing a CD player and stuff 500 bucks! I hope it runs. I talked to my mom about it, and she got pretty angry. I mean, I've got a job.. I make 400 dollars a month, I have nothing on my credit card, and the insurance is only 136 a month. Why should she be angry? "What do you need a car for?" To be cool mom, duh. I really wish I had a 3.0 and I really wish I hadn't been caught driving 31 over during the summer, and I also really wish I was 150 miles from home, a 26 year old married female... Speaking of which, do car insurance policies strike anyone else as increidbly sexist? I mean, statistics are statistics, but to lump all males and all females together as collective groups... Jeeze. I'm gonna try something right now.. I'm gonna fill out a quote application as myself and then do it again, only changing gender. ok. 1539 for male, 1339 for female. 200 dollars. Shit. One box, Gender, changed. 200 dollars.

to everyone who got a crushlink email i sincerely apoligize. I was desperately trying to find out who gave me one in the first place, and then i found out that I had given one to myself!
oh and stephanie, if you kiss for more than 3 minutes I would consider that a make-out, even if all you did was kiss.
I spent most of the weekend downloading hip hop instrumentals and helping design the artwork for gregg's girltalk album, which should come out in february. so far it looks pretty hot. andrew and shawn were up all friday and saturday night doing it. On saturday I saw this mini film festival at the cinemateque which featured all of these pre-code cartoons from the 30s i believe. Many of them were pretty scandelous, but none of them were pornographic or anything. they were mildly entertaining.

stephanie, that animal rights article doesn't seem biased to me. The article cites opinions from both sides and it doesn't state the opinion of the newspaper.
That organ transplant article is pretty sick though. It's so strange when you hear about that kind of stuff.

Teacher, I have one comment and one question and I want answers!
One: Look at this? I say hell yeah---fuck those conservative bastards at the new york times---releasing animals from terrible deaths is wrong because federal agents are taken up?! Fuck that shit.
Secondly, what is the definition of make-out to you people? How do you differentiate between kiss on the lips, and kiss that is more mouth-involved? All of you people gimme the answers!!!
PS--what the fuck is going on in the world?! Can't wait to fly after this queens shit. Fuck man.

Oh I have the best post-make-out feeling today. I have a shitload of work to do, but I keep remembering that one moment of entangled bodies and that first sweet touching of lips that makes my mind wander for a bit, until I realize that I have to get back to the cold hard books and "why women are attracted to status in all cultures" and remembering that I do indeed dislike genetic theory. I just found this drop of honey on my calendar: November 16, the words "are you in love yet?" in vicki's handwriting.

aw fuck, I just erased this long post I had written. But to summarize it:
Went to a hockey game last night, which was sooooo Canadian. I have no chance at becoming McGill Hockey Queen 2002!!
I spent the night talking to fake boyfriend, and this new friend, girl, was all up in my face about it, and wanting me to "dish" about what was going on and all this shit. It was really really Ukrainian---everyone thinks that it's their right to know fucking everything! There really was nothing to know either and she was harassing me for 5 minutes making me pinky swear to various questions such as "IS there really nothing to know about you two?" and then her brother, or various other people would be like "about who?" and she'd say who she was talking about. So this one goes out to my Ukie homies and K-Lo's crew peeps:
"What's the matter with yo' life, why you gotta mess with mine? Don't keep sweatin' what I do cuz I'm gonna be just fine, check it out, if I wanna take a guy, home with me tonight, It's none of yo' business!!!"--Salt N' Pepa.
Anyways, the conclusion to this story is that I made out with my fake boyfriend last night...yoowww!!!

we had a head race in Seattle today. we beat washington which is great, although we lost to our boat of freshmen recruits by 5 seconds. We came in fourth. the difference between us and the first place boat was 7 seconds. all in all it was an ok race. Our football team beat washington today too which is incredible considering the two teams records this season. I know I know, you all just read that, "wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah" charlie brown's teacher stylee.
One of my teammates turned 21 today. we had a surprise party for her with a stripper. He showed up dressed up as a cop an hour into the party. he asked if anyone who lived in the house was 21 and show some ID. bethany had to go get it and when she came back a chair was set in the middle of the room for her. it was really really fun getting all dressed up, drinking with girls and screaming/hooting/hollerin at a guy in a (disappointing) green velvet g-string. Although I had about a zillion white russians I barely got buzzed, which was also nice. After that some of us headed to my guy friends' kegger, but it was getting broken up by the non-stripping breed of po-leece. We had whoever was still around come back to our house. However, I was not the best hostess and made a discreet (maybe..........not) exit to my room with one of the guys from the mens team. rrrrowl. I must say that I cannot stand knowing that within hours all of my friends and probably the whole team will know who hooked up with who. the crew team is notorious for gossip, everyone knows eveyones biznitch. and my friends that were here at the time, well, I'm not sure, but almost positive they will spill the beansto those who weren't. news travels faster here than fucking high school.
I realized it was sunday a bit ago which means I can register for next term- it's sooo early too, I got all the classes I wanted. student-athlete perks are schweet.
nice poem steph. curtis mayfield is the shit. superfly & pusherman are my favorite cuts.
I won't be home for thanksgiving, but will be back december 8th. I already got a call from the firm (I know I'm a pretentious shit for even typing those words, but it's out of my system now and I promise not to say them again) about working over the winter break. I'm definitely going too, but I think I'll ask for a raise first. I got a ton of invitations for Thanksgiving dinner, but i'm liking the idea of mac and cheese at home alone right now- we'll see. Megan is going to Chicago to visit some friends at Northwestern and U of C for the weekend. I can't believe she's gonna be there without me. she thought I'd be there when she bought her tickets over the summer. oh well.
so it's 5am and I'm going to bed. I usually don't wake up until 3 or 4 when I go to bed at more decent times so who knows when I'll be awake again. so vicki, if you really are going to call me and your'e not just jerking me around, try it in the evening if possible.
~one love~
