my computer says it 12 am but i think its really 1
my computer is a cybernetic charlatan
im at the point in the evening when i must decide whether i should sleep for three hours or pull an all nighter while watching southpark
Our bookstudy overseer "yelled" at us(the whole bookstudy) at our meeting today for never turning our time in on time. I dont know about the rest of them but me and Skye definatly deserved it.
Skye and I are planning a trip to China in a few years. you guys should look up things for us to do there and post them for me to browse over
you should also send us spending money
and plane tickets
you are good friends
signing off

4:23 pm - Brick's a spoiled brat
|
I havent been on the computer in a really long time. I made dinner yesterday though so i had a little extra time to veg at the okemos library after work.
Ok, this will only be interesting to people who work at starbucks but did you know that Beaners (our competition in lansing) actually puts their already steamed coffee in the fridge to save it and then they...RESTEAM IT! It's gross...just...wrong.
I lulled Skye to sleep a coulpe nights ago by reciting what I remembered from the lion king. It was pretty bad but sufficiently boring. He only lasted to the part where Simbas father talks to him in cloud form. I kept going though. I liked the story.
I want an ipod
Bryna sucks
Bryna!
Make sure you bring my cds AND the excercise tape I used that mom hates. She'll know which one
If you don't I'll leave you on the highway.
LOVE
JAB

2:13 pm - 70% of the people from one town were killed...maybe they were liberals and God was seeking revenge
|
Since i have a few new friends i decided to post so they won't feel like they're the only ones putt'n out if ya knaw wha i say'n...
ok anyway
on a more serious note, this thing in south asia is devestating and i can't watch the news anymore. When it first started i knew the death toll would increase from it's original 25,000 but when it doubled over night i was shocked. And then, when i found out that 30,000 people had died from ONE ISLAND(sumatra, where starbuks gets its coffee, the freakn yuppies are going to be po'ed next year when we don't have anymore)i couldn't help but start crying...then again i just started my period sooo big whoop, right?
The saddest part is that i'm sure that some people i know will make the argument that this is the earth purging an over populated part of the world. The tsunami was hank hill and asians are starving deer. you know who you are and while i love a good rebuttal this is an insensitive time to say something like that... idiot... i hate you! Of course i am menstrually motivated now.
Speaking of which, i watched the Perfect Proposal on TLC and cried. She was crying and the host was crying and he was so serious and he held her little face while she cried and i held a pillow and we all cried...it was beautiful.
I'm in the library and the way middle aged men look around while they type and search on the computer is funny. Every few seconds they stop moving and glare over their glasses to make sure no one saw them type their address. Goodness knows someone might stop by their house and...look at them sometime. the horror
Ok big ups to debbie, baine and marian, my new friends. Sorry to reveal your true identities but your lj names are annoying to type

2:30 pm - "The itchy appeal of the sweater" or "Pain and pleasure with pills"
|
I haven't written in so long that i don't even recognize this new entry format. I'm on real rhapsody and trying to understand modest mouse but i just don't hear it. I hear a lisp that makes me pee my pants but no musical appeal. I work with this adorable 21 year old with a lisp. His name is Thomas and the lisp makes him seem innocent and therefore appealing....
hold on...
*sigh*
switched to "built to spill"
feel much better
I even like the postal service. In fact, I like them a lot... but not death cab for cutie...weird.
Went to my first concert in a long while on sunday. Rilo Kiley, my new almost favorite band. The lead guitarist was the red headed bully from salute your shorts. He was funny and talented on stage and the lead singer is gorgeous. You guys should go to their web site and check'um out. The opening act was this cool group that used tap dancing as percussion.
-got recruited to "save the music"
-talked to bill the homeless guy who guards the venue
-lost on military st.
-found again on 1st
-met Cam and his girlfriend, sang camp Anawanna
theme song in honor of the occasion

I missed you all during the convention today.
Brick and I went to a party afterwards at this guys house who never showed up to his house. They were nice and fun and refreshingly mature but They've all been friends for years. It was a close knit group that I wasn't a part of and I was too tired to try really hard. I'll see them again tommorow...we'll see.
I always like making friends, but while you're doing it, it's better to have some back up... a few friends of your own to make things comfortable
sigh
love you
miss you

5:17 pm - Connecting Changing Tires and Producing Progeny
|
Is changing a tire really all that masculine?
I got dropped off from work and instantly jumped into my car. As I drove off I could tell something was wrong so when I got to the market one block from my house I pulled into the parking lot to check...
when my mother had my car she blew my tire by running into the curb. the sidewall is ripped and unfixable so I need a new tire.
But that's besides the point. The point is about five guys asked me if I wanted them to change my tire. Well, as I was doing a pretty swift and accurate job I couldn't see the point. What could they do that I wasn't doing? So I said no though they each asked me at least two more times before they left me alone.
Of course, I tried to be polite, "no thank you" and " I'm doing fine, thanks" but it started to get annoying.
So finally, when the last guy came up I couldn't stand the fact that he stood there watching me when I had already told him twice that I was ok.
"Really, I'm ok, you can leave now."
"It's just..."
"What"
"It's just, it seems wrong...a girl changing a tire."
Which takes me to my original question. Is changing a tire really all that masculine? I mean, If that's all you guys have to hang on to when it comes to your gender then I feel sorry for you.
Guys: change tires
Girls: make babies
Therefore, I feel much more satisfied with my sex today
Mom: most girls wouldn't want to have 10 babies Trevon
Trevon: I'm not going to marry a "girl". I'm going to marry a "women"!
Does that make any sense? Anyone? Anyone?
NO...7 and 1/2 years of pregnancy will never make sense... even to a "women"

6:20 pm - Last night i did some climbing...
|
For two hours i watched from over the bookstore as a guy got ready for bed in the top apartment, across the street, above an abandoned store. He was around my age with shaggy black hair that he moved and arranged a lot. First he watched some cartoon that he had on tape. He'd obviously seen it before because every several minutes he would fast-forward or rewind to a different part. He did this by holding the remote above his head as far as his arm could stretch and then pushing the button...like the way you would do if you couldn't get the signal to reach the tv unless you did some acrobatics.
After an hour of this he finally got up and started to take off his pants. The interesting thing about that was how quickly they were off. I was like, "Whoa, he's gonna take..." and they were gone. not in a drawer, but on he ground. fortunately, he stopped at that point and didn't finish the rest in front of the window.
The lights went out in the bathroom and he returned to watching the movie but this time he
also picked up a book.
Now, all this time his window has been open and i've been trying to get this kid's attention without drawing the attention of all the punk kids leaving the show nearby. I knew he could hear me becuase i could hear him set his glass down on the table by the television. But the difference is that I was listening for it. He, on the other hand, had most likely grown used to blocking noises from the street out of his mind. Even when I asked him what he was watching or screamed, "Goodnight!" when he finally went to bed at around 12, he didn't seem to notice.
I wanted to go over there and introduce myself but i've decided to wait until I've determined whether he's a freak.
The store right next to the one I climbed had been burned down so I could see the ruins from the top looking down into them. i left the building covered in ash. I knew it was on my hands but when i got home and looked in the mirror I saw that it spotted my face as well. I looked like a hardcore cinderella.
Anyway, I picked wild flowers today. They're beautiful in their subtlety. I would show a picture but i can't find the camera. there are about 15 different specimen in the bouquet and several them I don't think I've seen before.
Love,
Much Love,
jess

12:12 am - By the time you read this, it will have been too late...
|
Got home at 11 tonight.
Lisa, I left your striped shirt at Heather's house.
BAsketball rocks
Baseball sucks on hard pointy things
Dan is my new favorite starbucks employee after skye and tymias and only because of obligation and the fact that he's married and not a witness.
Cedarpoint was one of the most fun things I did this past week but the whole trip was a blast.I actually conquered the dragster and the millenium force. ANd for all of you who said I wouldn't die...I practically DID. I'm sure of it becuase i went really high really fast and that's just not natural. It turned out to be a Beautiful day because...it never rains on an Ashley party(maybe just a slight sprinkle)
Why i love Rob
"I'm not afraid of anything...well, maybe if a bear came running towards me with a giant spider for a face..."
I have to admit, that would be freakin horrific...and funny
Skye's grandparents seem to like me but they may just be drawing me in for a slaughter or using me as infiltration.
last night, however, seemed endless
I lost something at Matt's house.
I cried about it but matt couldn't help. In fact, i think he lost something too. But matt doesn't cry, he just gets quiet. I cried on the way home and I even cried in my dreams. And when i woke up and realized that it was still missing i felt miserable. But when i saw skye this morning he comforted me. He told me that if i find it things will be great but until then i need to learn to live without ... because some items can't be replaced. I hope Matt finds someone to tell him that. He probably knows without being told. After all, he was the one who said that situations always work out for the best.
That's stupid, though. And that's why matt needs someone to help him look for things because he always comes away with the wrong conclusions from the right ideas.
I'll keep an eye out and hope it shows up but I'll be happy regardless. Partially because I have to but mainly because i have support.
And how i got this entry down my pants you'll never know.

11:34 pm - Ugly is next to you...scooch over
|
I'm sending three of you a burned cd.
I went through a lot deciding who would get it and I finally settled on the three people who would appreciate it the most.
Sarah
Lisa
Jeremy
If anyone wants to hear it, get it from them.
(and danfbot, i'll try to send you one if i get another cd but i'm short now. I want to see what the canadians think)
The cd is of a wonderful local band here called The Trend.
I wrote about them several months ago when i went to a talent show and after hearing their first album i still hold to my previous opinion. They are awesome. I want them to play with project akimbo when they start touring because I need to be near them. Seriously, i think they'll blow up once word gets out and when you hear the cd you'll get what I'm saying.
I want you three to respond and tell me what you think (tell Jeremy about it). and let jackie, skye and Matt hear it too becuase I think they might appreciate it as well.
My favorite songs: my favorite kind of girl, emo song, I feel lucky tonight and wonderful world
Love you guys
my boss was drunk tonight. He's the owner and he says the f word a lot when he's drunk. I laughed at him and got him more beer.
And Jeff the video store guy stopped by while he was out walking with his new girlfriend. She is very sweet and they look cute holding hands.
The assembly was fun because I knew more people there then the girls my age at my congregation who've lived here their whole lives. It's very sad. There is a regular pioneer/ ministerial servant who has a faux hawk (or fag hawk, whatever)It was great to see but hard for my dad to accept. Once he talked to the brother it was obvious why he was appointed... very genuine, humble and sincere person. For some reason I thought, "Jeremy would really like this guy"
Bryna looked more then adorable in her new pink, pleated skirt with white polka dots.

I watched Oh Brother Where Art Tho with my sister after the memorial. I'm gonna own that movie someday.
It's not as easy as it may seem. Even if you think I'm not trying or maybe that I'm doing everything I want to do and just ignoring everyone... but that wouldn't be true. I'm resisting the strongest feelings I've ever had without really wanting to. I try to do what I'm told because I'm willing to assume that I'm totally wrong...even though I feel like I'm right.
I can't describe how hard this is without sounding pathetic. I don't think I should even try. I have nothing to prove and I don't want to set a record or laugh in anyone's face. I just want to be happy...and I can't abandon a best friend without reason. I have no reason to... I don't want to...I won't...sigh
I'm not the adventurer that you might think I am
I want warmth and loyalty and security
That's all I've been searching for
Nothing spectacular...no miracle
Simplicity
Or could just be stupidity
I'm tired and heartbroken
But I'm not beat and I'll figure this out
That being said, I won't forget...You underestimate yourself if you think I can.

8:18 pm - I Have the Best Job EVER!
|
I got a job yesterday at Crab Alley in Cumberland(15 min east of us)
The average entree costs 17 dollars and that doesn't includes drinks and appetizers...so the tips are good. I made 75 my first night (not including $12 or more for my salary) after 5 hours. my manager(who's 19 years old) says that I'm the best waitress they have.
Another plus is that there is practically no uniform
I have to wear a shirt and I can't walk around barefoot, but that's about it.
But the very best thing...
i only have to work three days a week; friday, saturday and sunday
I can go out in service three days and still make my aux. time...i can even make pioneer time, so if all goes well I want to start pioneering by July.
Jehovah answers prayers, even my very specific ones.
I highly recommend Pieces of April. One of the best movies I've seen in a while. Go rent it...NOW
My mother just bought the old Boys II Men album. It's their best one and I like plenty of the songs. But she wants me to play "I'll Make Love to You" at my wedding. I don't know about you guys, but I think the songs a bit tacky to play at a wedding. It would make Matt punch me, and I won't want to be punched at my reception...i don't think. Not to mention that one of my ghetto, worldly and possibly drunk before they even get there, relatives will confiscate the mic and say something like,"Well, we know someone who'll be making love tonight...hahahohahho...snort"
yeah
I'll play one of the other songs.
