you come home from school and everyone stops reading your blog. oh well.
the interview at ymca wasnt so hot. the lady was extremely unprofessional and just plain stupid. first she made me wait for 45 minutes before she saw me. to make a long story short i'd work 30 hours a week - funky hours at that - for only 6 dollars an hour. i said thanks but no thanks. so time to keep looking or settle for the golf course. we'll see.
i got an organ from dale today. it's exciting.
i passed a burial this morning. it was just like the movies cuz there is a slow, cold rain today. seemed very fitting. ive been thinking about it, and im not sure if i want to rain or not when i die. if everyone were like me, i'd want it to rain, but i know it would depress everyone, so maybe i'll opt for sunshine. im talking nonsense.
i went to ham's little car wash today. not like a car wash does any good to my beauty, but it was a good cause. im proud of ham. for those of you who dont know him, which is everyone, he's a cool cat i went to school with, we're 3 years apart. he's started this little club called origins to orange juice. they get together and chat about controversial topics and they have a little newsletter and stuff like that. its rare to find a thinking christian these days, and even rarer to find a thinking christian in high school, and even rarer to find a thinking christian in high school that has the motivation to do something about it and try to make a difference. way to go ham.
im taking the first step in painting and redoing my room. trying to get all the tape marks off my walls. it's impossible and laborious. oh well.
later onnnnnnnnn.

i was just listening to a new slick shoes song...sounds awesome. i still havent bought their last album though...im a little behind. ive always been a big fan of theirs, though. im really happy to see them on side on dummy now...next to the bosstones, suicide machines, flogging molly, casualties....thats awesome. hooray.
in related news, i just realized i can finally download mp3's again. if only this computer were a little faster.
the beach was pretty fun. the weather was pretty crappy but we enjoyed ourselves nonetheless. i really enjoy hanging out on the beach in pants and a sweatshirt when it's cold and cloudy. there was a nice thunderstorm or two as well. we went out to eat at some nice places...the nicest being a mexican place called 3 amigos...it was delicious. another highlight was seeing a one legged seagull while trying to make it eat a hot dog roll from our hands from our balcony. then a seagull pooped on my head, i guess, but we didnt notice until we were getting into the elevator later and wes and roshelle and erica felt the need to tell all the people in the elevator about it. i was kinda embarassed. so, that was about it i think. it felt good to relax and giggle a lot.
there are a lot of good shows this summer and i want to go to them but im sure they will come and i'll say "eh..whatever" and i'll pass them by. especially if i work at the golf course, i dont think i'll want to be getting up at 5:00am the day after a show. we'll see. morella's forest...saxon shore...further seems forever...elliot and mae...*sigh*. we'll see.
jamin - morella's forest is the 14th i think. i'll most likely be there since it's a saturday. i'll let you know.

off to VA beach. have great weeks.

Saturday, May 24, 2003

im home. it's kinda weird, but nice. the house is a lot smaller than morris. its hitting me more than usual this time. the doors that are light, small hallways, etc. whatever.
the show was pretty good thursday night. we had fun and i guess that's all that counts. stuff with sound was really frustrating, but we made do. it was freezing cold, which caused almost everyone to leave by the end of the concert. our hands were freezing, we couldnt see our frets, and ben couldnt hear us, so we played pretty sloppily. the slide show came together nicely, but it was hard to see on the screen and it blew over once or twice too, so it wasnt anything incredible. so, i guess all in all the show wasnt that great, but we had fun. it was one of those times where you wanted to make it something really sappy and sentimental, but it just didnt happen. hard to believe that could have possibly been the last show i played with nate and we just kinda shrugged it off. oh well. but yeah, it was fun.
now im trying to get moved back in, although that is kinda difficult cuz im gonna paint my room and stuff, so i dont want to get TOO moved in.
trying to find a job.
going to the beach with erica's family next week. its supposed to rain the whole time.
um, i think thats all.
im out.

apparently i have the director of taylor university admissions reading my blog now. talk about pressure. hi steve.
practice last night was great. ben is doing really well on drums. we kept the poor guy out and away from his wife until 1am...felt kinda bad about that. right now im burning cd's for nate cuz he's super busy. hopefully erica can help cut out and fold inserts when she gets here. im really excited for the show...i have yet to see the slides but from what i hear it will be pretty cool. hopefully people will show up.
im closing in on my packing. going home feels like this big pilgrimage. especially when you live in PA, i guess. but it's like a 3 or 4 day affair. started a couple days ago and wont get home til tomorrow night. oh well.
i guess you can tell whats important to a guy by what he leaves to pack up last...in my case: stereo, computer, and toiletries.
im really excited to get home, but not too excited to sort out summer job crap. wahoo.
im out. gotta get back to burning cd's. i couldnt resist posting on here, and i caused an error on the cd i was burning. oops. thats what happens when you're burning at the fastest speed possible. time to try again. later on.

history is finally over. hallelujah. we graded the tests in class and i got a B-. not bad, i guess. we got back our 3rd paper and i got another Pass+...that's 3 out of 3 for the pass pluses...only one other girl got 1 that i know of. hopefully those will bring my grade in the class up to a B or B+. and i'll get 10 bonus points for reading all of his book, so that will help out a bit too. we'll see.
time to start packing up. the couch is already gone. kinda weird.
my cross pen showed up! i lost my nice pen with my name engraved in it and all at the beginning of the year, and i came back and it was laying on the floor. it must have been stuck in the couch. what a pleasant surprise.
im out.
im back to the old system where i refuse to do anything because i have to study and then i dont actually study and i dont actually do anything either and so now i fail my history final and didnt even have fun with friends instead. it will be good to have summer.

kinda sad that the first time history has ever been made interesting and enjoyable to me is a review session for a final run by a junior history major with no teaching background whatsoever.
i got an A on my abortion paper. i knew you were wondering.
