Well, I seem to have entered some bizarre bizarre world of people. The montreal boy and his "posse" are this strange brew of just plain fucking foreign kids. The ones that I have met have been such a mix---mostly 23-26 year olds, and a bunch of them are foreigners, born in different countries, who grew up in montreal, so they have french/other language combination accents. For example, I slept at the montreal boy's, where there was a newspaper in which his brother posed nude, and then we ate breakfast and this kid calls to tell them that he broke a door with his head at a party last night and has to go fix it. We pick this kid up and he's telling them about the Turkish girl he saw who was like "I wrote you on the 1st and you only responded on the 12th" and this kid, with thick accent, who is all saddling up to me in the backseat also, and the brother are like "why do girls have such a problem with lateness?" and the foreign kid is like "you know, it is because of menstruation. They know that every 28 days, bam, there will be something coming out of their vagina, and so they know how to be on time and we don't" WHO in the hell thinks that way? I mean whatthefuck? And I just realized something that should have been quite blatent before. The reason I am always shocked at this type of wierd gender roling is because I was raised in such a way as to think that there really aren't differences between women and men in terms of general behaviour and expectations, but I forget that all these people have grown up thinking that women and men are really different and it puts me in a bad unrevolutionary position when I interact with these chumps who don't really know how to interact with females non-sexually.

a bunch of people came over last night and about 11 of us partied it up in my little room. it was tight. lots of fun. I was invited to go snowboarding again tomorrow, but I don't think I'm going to be able to go on account of this design project I have to do for tuesday, 2 quizzes on the same day, and my recently acquired 'good student' (ok, fine. my 'at least try a little bit more, bonehead') status. I'm taking a graphic design class on fridays from 11 to 2. it's required for my major. it licks my ass. that means it is bad. I hate it. computer "art" sucks. so do macs. and adobe illustrator.
here's good news. the big cheese athletic director guy of my school went to talk to my friend heather's drugs in sports class. in his little schpiel he called the crew team the most phenomenal athletes in the school with the exception of maybe the swimmers. nice. but here's the really good part, he said that random drug testing is illegal in Oregon and Washington- b/c it's a violation of the 4th amendment. so it turns out that whole thing about me in the pool for random testing was a bluff. looks like I can go back to my normal lifestyle, ha. once again, oregon has proved to be the coolest state in the union. yip yip.

Can you imagine a place where it never snows? I asked my Australian friend what she thought of snow when we were trodding to school with fat, sticky flakes smacking into our faces and she cried, "I am in love with-it! It's saoooow beautiful!" It's so cold out that your nose hairs freeze, and the snowflakes are able to crystalize from the intense cold--- they take on the shapes of paper folded four times into which inricate designs are cut with small, uncomfortable scissors, by even smaller, eager hands. The first snow in Chicago has a way of making everything perfect. The buildings and the roads and the trees and the sky, your dog and your buick and your front steps and the wet wet carpet in the front hall-- all of these things become absolutely flawless, as if God is riding on each snowflake, and then with a silent poof, gentler than anything, dumping his perfect vision for the world onto your sidewalk. "See this? This is pure and white and perfect. This is my gift to you, because you are good and I love you. Don't give up. Be heartened." This is snow. And when it sticks, it sticks good. And when it comes, it comes in heaps. I love it.

but mattt, angels don't make love, angels are love.
I am glad to be back at school, and i think this will be a good semester for me. It keeeps snowign all the time, but it doesn't stick!. I am looking forward to sledding though. Gregg brought his inner tubbe to college, and we all know guysh that they make the besht shleds! I am taking a few clsses related specifically to comp sci, and boy are there dorks in my class!. Yesterday we were talking about "abstract data types" in this one class full of immature male nerds, and we somehow were using "condoms" as an example of a data type. We listed attributes of this "data type" on the board, and the class came up with some great (ehh....) attributes like lubrication, size, color, rribbed for her pleasure, and "used" or not. This went on for at least a half hour. it was great! I don't think i've ever gotten so close to having sex with a girl in all my life! So I'm sittign next to this aquaintance Audrey, and I am obviously not amused by this whole display of male horniness, and she's like "mike you seemed to be the only one not laughing, did Mr. Kreaft offend you?" And I was like "uh no, i wasn't offended, but it was just really lame to be in a roomfull of horny male nerds" and I think that was a mistake to say cuz she might be a nerd; i'm not sure, cuz she has a lott of fuckign friends in that class. peace.

"oh, put it closer to my body? like, this? oooh!"

Barbarella is great. Can somebody tell me what the deal is with creepy angel guy, though? I guess it's been a while since I've seen it.
This year, I resolve to 129.87.63.51
Get it? Anyone? Anyone?
I gave myself a haircut today, it looks really nice. Toot toot!
Sorry I got all depressing that night you guys (minus Steph and Karen) came down to visit. It's just that I've recently re-established contact with my emotions (<--good thing), because I'd been letting the apathy thing rule them out, and they get the better of me when I'm trashed (<--- working on that). I really had too much to drink to be doing anything else intoxicating, and if I had been sober, I would have realized that sad stories do not need to be told all at once, or at all to a group of people who want to have a good time, really. And yeah, we all have sad stories. I couldn't even remember what I had been talking about the next morning, but I was (and still am a little) upset that I had upset you guys. Consequently, I am laying off of the mixing of substances, and the problem has vanished. So keep in touch with me, gimme a call sometime. ok? I love you guys, and I am interested in even the smallest details of your daily experiences. Because knowing is half the battle, right? I never liked the updated GI Joe themesong. GOT TO GET TOUGH, YO JOE. pffff. ok, time to download that. see y'all on the dark side of keith moon.

Saw Barbarella tonight. She is by far my favorite feminist heroine. Hey vic, remember when you were in montreal and you were like "why do all of these girls have two boyfriends?!" (holy mo' fo' I just realized the quasi two boyfriend\of course neither are really boyfriends\ situation I have gotten myself into) Anyways, it's all biting people in the ass now. Rrrrreal bad. Hey, howabout we switch the channel from stephanie.

Alright, that last post was just plain sappy. "We've grown apart and I'm confused about it?" Is this therapy? Am I twelve? Ellyse used the word "douche-bag" a number of times last night, and everytime I tried to tell her that I was laughing at her use of the word, she would say "no, but he really is a douche-bag"

I just talked to Ellyse, and it seems like we are on the rocks. This may be what the genius astrologer Sally Brompton was talking about. We've grown apart and I'm confused about it.

I'm feeling reflective, and that vicki conrad post just made me feel more so. We had a party for Alicia tonight and it was very laid back and fun. Talia and I made this cake for her (mostly Talia) and decorated it with white frosting and some swedish berries and red licorice ropes and light blue frosting. It actually turned out being pretty patriotic, unintentionally. Today my horoscope said that in the greater scheme of things there is no chance--everything happens for a reason. I should keep that in mind when something unexpected happens today, whether good or bad, because there is a reason behind it. So maybe this horoscope is a day late, because yesterday, Tanya, my Ukrainian friend from Chicago who you guys might or might not remember (quiet blonde girl) told me that she is engaged. It was actually really shocking and I didn't know quite what to think of it. It made me realize that we are all growing older. My brother got married when he was only slightly older than I am, and now she is engaged to an army kid. I don't really know if it will last, but hopefully, everything will turn out for the better for her.
Suddenly, I feel like Doogie Houser, typing his computer journal. Vinnie, my pesky Italian friend is not so far away.

oh man, fade into you is going to be the death of me.
but seriously folks, we went sledding tonight and it was amazing! frau kelly had to wear her combat boots though and she couldnt climb back up the hill to save her soul. god bless the little bugger, she tries so hard! then we had hot chocolate. everyone should go sledding at night - it's exercise and contact with mother nature (two things i always feel i need to be tricked into) - but i didnt mind either! the only uncomfortable part was that snow was all up in my crevices like this pesky yeast infection. ewwww....
that was just disgusting...i quit!

Dear Mom and Dad,
How are you? I am fine. I am at camp. Camp is fine. Today we got to have chocolate cake. I learned how to make Egyptian hieroglyph words. Tomorrow I get to play creative writing. I hope we get to ride horses. I miss you!!!!!!!!! Say hello to the pets for me.
Love,
Kelly

House of Pain: don't jump around
3658 Ste Famille was such a fucking house of pain last night, for the most part. Carol came over, and she had just been dumped by kacey, pasha wants someone she can't have, alicia and i miss Ella a whole fucking lot, and I saw danylo this past weekend and we made out and it was something inexplicable. And I think the montreal boy just thinks of me as a booty call, and then I get angry and just want to go to dinner with him, but then I think "DO I want him for something more than a booty call? b/c the booty call situation is not all that bad..." and fuckitty fuck fuck fuck! And if I were socialized in a different manner in which I amassed people into large generalized groups, I would say something like "I hate boys because they're stupid", but thank god for that sociology major! Become a deviant everybody! Don't listen to the hype, obey your thirst, drink sprite....I mean, wait a minute! my brain just must have gone on automatic corporate speak, gee it sucks when that happens! (I hope that sarcasm came seething through your computer screens"
Actually, danylo went to all this trouble to get this feminist magazine from kent for me, this other kid marko got me a reprint of a communist propoganda poster in which the woman is throwing down a rolling pin and it says something about throwing away the housework, and Tim, Anya's boyfriend made me a mix cd, which was fucking amazing, because I think we have a connection through the universe. So that would immediately have gone to disprove any sort of criticism of the whole male gender, if I were to make one.
The New orleans boys link works, you just have to keep trying it. Our dear friend gary gandolfi seems to be missing from the pictures, and bringing him up is just to get you back for telling me that your mom loves sade, vicki conrad!!!!
