Vicki, your posts are putting me in fucking good moods! I hate international playboys (and also intranational playboys), who know when to cue the wine, the music, the dim lights...and move on from one woman to the next, However, all I want to be is an international playgirl! And I think I may be learning the trade as we speak, b/c one good quality crush coming to montreal for a visit in March. Yow. The time I've spending with Carla has been much too much and she is making me bored, which makes me boring, which makes her kick it up a notch, which makes me more bored, and the vicious cycle continues. Canada beat the U.S. in hockey yesterday. Ha, I bet you just made the assumption that that was the man's team! Well it was the woman's team (man =subject, woman=other much?) Yeah. Sometimes I forget that spending time alone is much funner than spending time with bores. Then I can make my faces and talk to myself in my mirror all day long!!! And here is a poem by Gordon Downie:
Coke Machine Glow
Here we are on the highway.
Here we are on the road.
Here we are in the parking lot's
pink Coke machine glow.
Here we are in the bedroom.
Here we are in the bed.
Here we are
beside each other
after everything
we've said.

i went on a date with my friend jonathon tonight. i wore my cute mary j. blige denim skirt. he wore a lot of cologne.
he had the one love/ free your mind epiphany. i had the vegetables in curry. it was excellent. we got ice cream after dinner and i got to hold somebody's arm while i walked. i had to drive him to the airport to switch his tickets and i jacked off in the car while i circled the place a million times waiting for him to be done. he was none the wiser. we talked. we listened. we shared. when we got back to beloit we hadnt even opened the car doors before we were bickering and bullshitting like always. overall a wonderful night for the folks spoiled by the sounds of the children screaming from the windows. I SAID LAY DOWN YOU LITTLE BRATS! where's the babysitter? oh for cripe's sake, she's passed out on the bathroom floor! i knew we shouldnt have left them with that little glue-sniffer. look what happens when i leave? little jimmy burns the whole place down with his free-basing! i swear, i turn my back for one minute and you damned kids invite the whole adult-baby diaper club over! oooh...those is semi-jokes. it was a really nice evening though. marvin gaye and all.

Air (with Beth Hirsch!) is playing and I did this real I'm-just-a-robot-in-a-big-technical-world thing where the pointer turned into a hand with the finger pointing just as I touched (virtually touched for I am mere robot) this boys name.
I have nowhere to go sort of for spring break and it's making me mildly crazy. Maybe I'll just stay here, but there is something so fucking lonely and so fucking not lonely all at once about living in a city and not really knowing anyone in it. Hmmm. Tonight, Carla and I go out for drinks because we haven't in a while. It'll be good I think. Fuck I'm in a good good mood. Anya and Tim come tomorrow night until tuesday. I want to make that make-out mix tape, but things keep hindering me (i.e. my cd player is broke as a joke) Saw a movie in my Images of the Feminine in Hinduism and Buddhism class today. Oh shit! I just realized the Hindu section is over and now we must move on...but anyways, this movie Fire, is about the politics of sexuality in an Indian household, the director, Deepa Metha (or something to that affect) is constantly threatened when she comes home, b/c there was a huge uproar about the lesbian content. Excellent, but didn't finish it. I got my baggage finally in the mail (I left without it last time, b/c I wouldn't have gotten on my plane otherwise). The power of good positive thoughts is so strong, y'know.
Things that make me real fucking mad: no sex on rag. I'm talking for religious reasons or something like that. I mean honestly people, menstrual blood is really not unclean or impure and if you're cringing at me writing menstrual blood, than you can shove it. Boys and Girls, Ovaries and Testes alike, you just need to check yourself. That's right. You heard me!!! It's just not dirty at all. I mean it's perfectly acceptable if you don't really know the person you're screwing that well or something to that effect, but if you're not having sex with someone b/c one of you is on the rag and you have been involved in a long-term relationship, then just get up and change the goddamn sheets for the love of god!!!

A determinate of who your (or my general determinates) best friends are: can spend 24-7 with them and not run out of things to say, could go on road trip with them, aren't superficial. That sounds like some lame chain e-mail or an aol profile in which I would then say "I <3 U Vic and K!!! Friends 4-Evah!" just b/c of the road-trip thing, but that wasn't my intention. Had a poli-sci mid-term today and was all kinds of feeling fucked b/c the question about state-led development was worth half the points and I wasn't remembering anything about it. Then the lights went out mid-way. The majority of the 600 students do a huge startled gasp, the French professor says "we will wait 5 minutes and see what happens" while I innocently listen to the girl next to me talk about state-led development with the girls behind me. Exam cancelled. Yow.
In other news, I'm getting real sick of the roomies, gotta get out of here!!!!!
We saw Divided We Fall, an excellent Czech movie, Rat and I that is, and all of a particular roomgirls friends were coming over and being loud asses and being all up in our faces with their "what movie is this?" which they had to ask more than once b/c we wouldn't answer and they didn't get the hint. Want ass. Instead I'll go smoke a nice Gauloise ciggie. I'm listening to this Afrodigital CD and one song is this woman rapping "Yeah, I'm talkin' to you...wassup wit dat?" except she is from Africa African and it sounds real wierdly fake, in such a way that I want to call her "not hard-core" but really, who am I to talk?.

i feel kinda funny. so weird. i dont know what anymore. rugs out from under feet. rugs out. i thrashed around in my bed for a long time last night feeling this intense, unlocatable, yet still disconnected pain. it was physical and it made me clench my hands and jaw over and over again. i think my heart may be breaking but i am just going to try to ignore it until it either gets mended, kills me or goes away. i hate all three of those options. i wish it hadnt splintered to begin with.
it's been raining here the last couple days. it makes everything so much more dramatic because i have to put on indoor lights during the day. it makes everyday feel like a lonely childhood sunday.
argh...what have i done? what has happened? when do i give up? did i already? did i give up the second i let him leave? i always thought that peter leaving may be the dumbest thing that ever happened. there is no reason that all of us who love each other and inspire each other should be so far away from our springs. i am still overwhelmed by the feeling that i would do anything, anything. i cant believe im waiting and feeling forgotten, especially with peter. god, why did it have to happen with him? this feels so cruel.
oh, and steph, ive never been on a date, unless you count aheyhaber. oh, wait...HAHAHAHAH! and nobody i know here has ever been on a date either except for sasha who went on one date in argentina. she went out for dinner and then she made out with him. i think that's how most of them go.

Today was the big 56 for me ole man and apparently my dad and my sister and my grandparents got together and had some wine and gossiped. My sister was relaying some of the ridiculous stuff that my babcya was saying about random people, and it just made me really appreciate my family from afar. They're a good good crowd. Gotta go to sleep and wake up at the ass crack of dawn for some studying...yee-haw. Here's a joke from my Polish prof. "who is the most constipated person on earth?" "who?" "Cain" "why?" "because he was not Abel"
Mike Ray=has funnest friends ever
Now let's talk dates for a sec people. Have you been on dates? What do you do on a date exactly? I think I've been on one date in my life junior year, with a certain boy who K so fondly called "Cheech". At the end of the night, he went for the polite cheek-kiss and I went for the make-out kiss. What can I say? I'm a big spender! (really I was like uh...moi=faux pas)
And speaking of dates, John, Sara B. and you two together keeps coming up in my mind lately. Some sort of wierd mental telapathy perhaps?

Saw the breeders last Friday. It was fabulous! They’re still rocking in the USA. The new album is allegedly going to be out in May. We’ll see if that’s going to happen.
My friends and I started this thing called 'workout club' where once a day we do a workout routine in the public hallway involving only crunches, increasing the number of crunches by ten every day. We started with 50 last Thursday, and today we're doing 100. the best part is that the guys have to do it with their shirts off, and Nikki wears a sports bra (she’s the only girl doing it), so the activity looks pretty questionable to strangers. Also, Shawn made an 80min long mix cd full of workout songs, and we don't know what is on the mix until we progress that far in the workout. The mix cd is one long cd track so no one can cheat and listen ahead. The first song is 'du hast' and I can barely do sit-ups I am laughing so hard every time we do it. we haven't even gotten to the refrain of the song yet. We’re such a spectacle! It’s fucking fabulous. Deconstructing physical fitness. Pictures to come soon...

oh! i had a really great dream this morning too. it involved my dad buying me whiskey sours at the campus bar and then me running off with my friend jonathon to make-out in front of the railroad tracks. there was more, but it's almost gone now. overall lesson: do bongs (?)
i have to read so much fiction for this one class i have. it's really hard to have to try to sit down and read a book for many hours straight. i dont know if it is actually hard to do it, because just trying has been hard enough!
it's raining here, but it's warm. spring is SO on the way. now i must mend sasha's coat. tuesday is mommy's mending day. (if i didnt secretly love this, i would grumble here)
and steph, even though i think anarchy rules! i would still vote for your sis for president.

I had the best fucking dream ever this morning. The Afghans had bombed my Church/Mosque in the Ukrainian village and we were trying to get people out of it. Many lives were lost. The flag of Illinois went up to half mast and we all united in "Oh Canada" but I had to mumble all of the words, because I still don't know it (lesson 1: learn the Canadian national anthem). Bush for some reason can no longer run the country, and so my sister is put in his stead. I am ecstatic that there is not only a female president, but she is my sister. She wants me to be Vice-President! Two females running the country!!!!! I'm still deciding if I'm going to take the post because I AM only 19 and still in University. I say "George...I mean Mr. Bush....I mean Mr. President" [fortunately he doesn't hear the first two because my sister won't turn down "We Built this City on Rock N' Roll" which was actually on my alarm this morning] "What do female heads of state do when they run into misogynists?" "Uh...I haven't really experienced that enough to tell you..." Thinking back, ole Bushy did look a bit depressed, but thankfully Gore was there advising me on whether or not to take the vice-presidency. Overarching lesson: study and go into politics!

I spent most of the weekend up in portland. we were partying at my friend rachel's amazing house on friday- it's the same one I talked about last year with all the incredible vintage rock concert posters. it was a good time.
I got my tattoo on Saturday. It's beautiful, I absolutely love it. The whole experience was good- very one love. Cheyenne, the guy that did it, is really cool. He started out as an art student too. He gave me some really good advice and was really willing to talk about how to get started and his experiences. The first few years sucked, he taught himself completely and it took a while to get a job. he said having a great portfolio is what will give me an edge and I just need to be aggressive about everything. I'm gonna have to work on that. We listened to a mixed cd of zeppelin, his choice, and it kept me at ease for the whole two hours. I think the mental mind fuck I have to put myself through at crew on the ergs totally helped me meditate the thoughts of pain away- it wasn't too bad at all. I wonder if I should worry about my masochistic tendencies? oh yeah, turns out cheyenne's originally from sante fe, so we had a good laugh about how fuckin weird the kids at st. john's are. heh heh. how are you anyway, john? fuckin weird? yeah? cool.
we're thinking about getting a cat. there was an ad for a free 3 month old in the paper yesterday, but we were too slow and he's already got a home. gonna hit up the shelter tomorrow I think.

A melange of questions and comments
I'm on carbohydrate comatose recovery right now, or else for some reason I just got super tired and must wake my ass up
I'm real real sick of this whole girls=eating hang-ups shit
Alicia and I have spent so much fucking time together and have determined that we're the only people here that we don't think "when will this person ever stop fucking talking?!" about. Really, we can spend a ridiculous length of time together with no change.
We're both getting really fed up with living here right now, because I for one, hate people stealing my mo' fo' chocolate and talking so loudly and stupidly that I want to punch them repeatedly, even though that would have no effect.
Here's the only question I had: why are there so many socially progressive people doing ads for Gap these days? i.e. Erykah Badu
Also, everyone must look back at mike ray's beginning of college hugging young adult party post because it is wonderful. And, I just found this old post where I used the words "cogent" and "liminality" and I thought "look! me was smart wording"
