it's all a big cliché, isn't it?

2001-11-17T06:20:00.000-06:00

i feel like i wanna see the get up kids and yell and squirm with the others to Holiday because it's loud but not loud enough and you try to take it in anyway as much as possible because tired means you are exhausted and that can be so beautiful sometimes. well, although the word beautiful is overused sometimes, that doesn't mean i don't mean it.

2001-10-31T22:25:00.000-06:00

oh dear.

i still remember a commercial i once saw for this made-for-tv movie. it was about some girl with anorexia, probably "based on a true story." it had this REALLY skinny actress, which made sad sense because there was this scene where she descended a staircase in this dress and shocked everyone with her abject thinness. you need a scary-thin actress for that sort of effect (ya can't use computer-generated shiz for everything).

and it made me wonder if just maybe the actress herself was anorexic. because, i mean, she was THIN. like, "i'll break in half if i breathe too deeply" thin.

so every time i remember this commercial, i imagine the actress not eating. and i picture her being happy to get the part, and making the movie, and being complimented for her slenderness

(because "slender" is so much nicer than "bony").

BAM. laura power!

2001-10-21T18:45:00.000-05:00

when i watch documentaries about some poor village in some poor country, i wonder what the camerapeople are up to.

i mean, they're videotaping a town as it struggles, and they're right there. tonight pbs showed something about a guy who had one bullet to kill a wild buffalo with so his family could be fed.

i dunno maybe they do give aid. that would be nice, wouldn't it?

and i guess if i think about it, i'm no better, watching it on tv.

2001-10-07T13:22:00.000-05:00

woot woot!

i'm not part of your world, but that's okay as long as no one gets superiority complexes.

and just the thought of certain people can make me smile.

fuck, i can smile if i think about you ;)

things are not anything like in the movies. i repeat: THINGS ARE NOT LIKE ANYTHING IN THE MOVIES.

the sooner people realize this, the more honest things will get.

and i dont mean that in a plastic people way. i mean it in the way that people try to imitate fucking behaviorisms of plotlines in romance comedies and all of that.

i'm sorry, i'm just feeling off today.

2001-08-03T00:57:00.000-05:00

work is like an insta-diet becuz i don't have time to eat and i don't have time to cut my nails either so now they're long.

i can never have long nails. i cut.chew.tear them off.

i'm not resisting very well rite now.

whoa ultra-mundane.

2001-08-03T00:16:00.000-05:00

i've been away for quite a while, doing things like bubbling up fountains and getting a job at a clothing store. sunday i go to milwaukee for a show. last time i did that, i told my mom i was having ice cream.

which i was. just in wisconsin, that's all.

2001-07-06T23:55:00.000-05:00

hey. why doncha mosey on over here and vote for me. it's a staff favorite, so it's got a higher chance of winning and becoming a real soda bottle label. ive got other ones you can search for on the site, ones that i think are cooler, but i guess this one is a fave cuz of the slight humor to it. and uh ... yeah. eh. i guess it's sorta cool.

2001-07-04T21:10:00.000-05:00

i less than three you, roadtospringfield dot com. it's a contest for best supporting character.

2001-07-04T21:09:00.000-05:00

this morning i had orange juice in a bowl, cuz i absentmindedly thought it was milk.

and this all turned out to be okay, becuz there werent any clean cups anyhow.

2001-07-04T21:07:00.000-05:00

the news, in haiku form.

sigh, someone catered to my short attention span. it's nearly as cool as the day in photos.

2001-06-30T11:44:00.000-05:00

speeding cookie: dance with me!
GooglyMinotaur: . i have no legs with which to dance
speeding cookie: sing then?
GooglyMinotaur: la la la la

i love GooglyMinotaur, you should too. IM Googly, and talk of many things (i never talk to Googly about Radiohead, however).

IMing is fun again.

2001-06-22T12:28:00.000-05:00

*snickers*

2001-06-19T01:34:00.000-05:00

um ...

it's summer, and im out doing stuff.

bye now!

2001-06-14T00:42:00.000-05:00

i gave one of my captain planet rings to a little girl named mary i met at the beach today. my friends and her friends all buried each other in the sand and we took pictures.

then mary fuckin opened my camera and exposed the film ::shakes fist::

sigh, kids.

when i describe her, i sorta consciously remove the racial aspect of it. cuz it bothers me that people in the news or suchlike say "young black girl" or "asian american youth" but never "young white girl." then they just make her a girl.

there's no real need to know anyhow. just a cute lil girl (who opened my film).

2001-06-10T09:33:00.000-05:00

crazy's just a word anyhow.

2001-06-06T23:21:00.000-05:00

doot doo doo...

... i went line dancing on tuesday.

and i got arrested today for stepping on an officer's vehicle (got to ride in the paddy wagon like the one girl riot that i am). when he talked to my mom, she said "what happened" and he stressed the cockamamie idea that i was ditching school (i wasnt, cuz i get out early for finals days) and my mom laughed cuz she knew that wasnt true.

i played the system, i did the "yes sir no sir sorry sir" bit ... which didnt work. fuck, they told me i had no right to ask for a badge # and that's a total lie. maybe they go deaf when a girl with purple hair and funny pants speaks. and it's not even just that, it's just ... maybe after dealing with real punkasses for years, you just treat everyone the same.

2001-06-04T21:30:00.000-05:00

this book was written by a schizo, more specifically, the one that dr. schreber is named after in Dark City (which i re-watched today). now i reeeeally wanna read it.

cept im sorta assbroke. or at least, i will be once i pay for all these tickets to all these events and other things: cirque du soleil, warped tour, vagrant tour, sensory deprivation tank ...

.. why these things gotta cost so much???

2001-06-03T19:33:00.000-05:00

!!!!!

i was messin around at captainplanet.com (lookin at the lyrics and stuff: "Check him out, you're gonna see -- He's the Mega-mac Daddy of ecology!") when i happened upon the RINGS that the planeteers wore.

that is the best $5 ive ever spent in my entire life.

2001-06-03T01:03:00.000-05:00

to the assholes who wanted to start a fight with my friends tonite:

fuckin cowardly losers.

yeah, they were reeeeeeeal dumb. i guess thats what i get for complaining about a lack of real misadventures ...

2001-06-02T01:07:00.000-05:00

411 y0ur b4s3 4r3 b310ng 70 u5.

2001-06-01T20:13:00.000-05:00

im getting too formulaic.

even misadventures are fuckin calculated.

maybe im just tired.

2001-05-31T21:05:00.000-05:00

hahahah, i found a term paper section called Academic Termpapers Minorities Other Than Blacks Section ... that just amuses me.

me fake research paper now.

:)

2001-05-29T18:46:00.000-05:00

hahahahah, prince is a jehovah's witness now.

acadec tryouts finished today .... my speech was about me coping with the idea of death when i was four. it was a fairly cute story, actually.

goddamit, now i wait.

would be more fun if i got to watch tony make a speech too :P

2001-05-27T18:38:00.000-05:00

spiralboy would make a cool superhero name ... except i dont know what he'd do.

summer besta be filled with me doing stupid things, like make comics.

which isnt so stupid after all.

2001-05-27T17:50:00.000-05:00

yay, my match is shinji from evangelion!

our love goes beyond the boundaries of human and cartoon ...

.. or not.

2001-05-27T09:38:00.000-05:00

um ... i dont really know what to say about this. but it sure is dumb. all your smurf are belong to smurf.

oh, and lots of basic rave info. i get bored and read theses things.

2001-05-27T03:23:00.000-05:00

i woke up really early and walked to a tiny bridge by the river. i started playing Pooh Sticks by myself. then i wrote a note and shoved it behind the glass of a life preserver thingamajig that read:

to whoever finds this:

hi, i dont really have much to say, just passing by here on the way to a garage sale.

hey, i can see a duck! awesome.

ever played Pooh Sticks, that game where you and someone else throw sticks on the coming side of a river and see whose stick crosses to the going side from underneath the bridge first? it can be fun.

Winnie the Pooh is great.

something i thought of yesterday -> if you can be touched by something and it just gets better, then you know it's beautiful.

~*k.

pooh sticks is more fun with more people, but i dont think any of my friends would join me the morning after prom due to the fact that morning means 'before noon.'

prom kicked so much ass. im going to miss all the seniors so bad.

i bought a weird sculpture from some lady-who-works-at-the-art-institute's garage sale. it's like windchimes in that it makes wind-related noises 'cept it looks like an african thumb piano. ooh, and i got an air canda bag and some comics.

and lunch with my brother, who is on his way from stanford to new york but stopped by. :)

2001-05-25T00:03:00.000-05:00

anyone read Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy? crazy douglas adams died and now we have towel day!

i love towels.

2001-05-25T00:02:00.000-05:00

first came the heromachine, here comes superhero name generator.

2001-05-22T22:39:00.000-05:00

a lot of stupid shit's happened this week which has pissed me off lately.

and tomorrow's not any better thanks to some stupid finals i take even tho im not a senior (and then i test MORE when juniors do in those same classes).

but maybe it is, since i get to see weezer DEFINITELY thanks to my having a pass to the signing from being on the stree team

and senior prom on friday, which i get to go to.

happiness probably isnt supposed to work in terms of "good > bad" but when the good is very good and the bad is very bad then what can you do?

2001-05-20T20:17:00.000-05:00

who's the stupidhead that sent me one of those punkass crushlink thingies???

this time im not gonna bother ...

thhppbt.

2001-05-19T16:34:00.000-05:00

people sure are stupid.

2001-05-19T16:27:00.000-05:00

...

my weekend sucks.

[at least compared to a friday filled with kurt russell, vib-ribbon, and a barbecue?]

that's what i get for having friends with homework/plans and no money.

this said ren is donna and im jackie from that 70s show..

2001-05-17T19:18:00.000-05:00

for a while i was afraid i might not get into theatre at gallery this summer and that i'd have to work at virgin megastore instead (yay employee discounts). but ... i guess i dont care if i get into video production or graphic design. if i do, it'll be either good training or i can blow their minds with my awesomeness, no one ever said i have to do commercial artwork traditionally.

so if i have to design a cereal box, it's gonna take after dis: aquabotic.

2001-05-17T18:28:00.000-05:00

goddamit, i saw the ceo of chicago public school's asinine face on the news today. something about how school test scores are "irregular" by 1% and are thus down for the first time in 5 or 6 years. he said "i agree that something must be done beyond our initiatives to get to the next level" and other buzzword crap and ended with saying he's gonna make the tests harder.

how. the fuck. will just making standardized tests harder either

a) improve scores or
b) increase ACTUAL EDUCATION.

uy.

2001-05-16T21:55:00.000-05:00

i link becuz i can. tha's my friend's site. lotsa gamingrelated stuffness.

2001-05-15T23:10:00.000-05:00

this makes me laugh nearly every time.

speeding cookie: i dont know if ive told you about this: speeding cookie: this reminds me of this guy i met who wanted to name his dog jesus for all the potential jokes about taking jesus to the vet, or saying "jesus, stop humping my leg!"

there are so many different ways to make a joke out of that. me and my friends laughed for a loooooong time about that.

2001-05-15T19:15:00.000-05:00

bought the new weezer today and met a nice weezer fan guy while posting stickers at clark and belmont.

i feel sick from all the ice cream ...

updated movies and books and such.

oh man i'm tired.

tomorrow i pretend im 15 and take a survey on facial creams for $60.

thursday i mite go protest on the south side if i can ... a police brutality march. i have mixed feelings about protests, but we'll see.

i walked home from the train station today. my neighborhood looks so odd to me now.

2001-05-13T12:23:00.000-05:00

i really suck at ninja attack.

and i just finished reading Ghost World. i still think it sorta sucks that i bought the edition that has a different cover mentioning the movie on it, the movie doesnt even come out for a while. it's a catcher in the rye type comic except set in what looks like a really. boring. small. town. the kind with nothing but walmart and strip malls and ... yeah. suddenly i feel sorta quiet.

2001-05-13T12:16:00.000-05:00

to al: hey girlfriieeend. (yah thats pretty lame ... eh.)

2001-05-10T19:03:00.000-05:00

more and more people at school find out im in art one (and not some advancy thinger) and do a doubletake. steph said "but you're so artsy fartsy" yesterday and i laughed.

ive decided to quit the whole "wtf do you know about me, just cuz i dress like this doesnt mean im into art" cuz that's just stupid of me. my clothes dont even have to serve as signals, chances are its in the way i talk or what i say or the things that i do. words and action combine into some crazyass billboard that tells people about who i am.

it's a duh statement, really: i like art.

and i dont know what im doing anymore. ren is taking a leap by deciding to major in music cuz she damn well likes it. and .. i dunno. maybe i should do the same thing. but who wants to pay me to ramble and glue blue things together?

i guess ... rite now im just gonna listen to Starálfur and try to figure out how to start a revolution.

that sounds about rite.

2001-05-09T23:21:00.000-05:00

i have a bad case of goggle hair.

yay!

2001-05-08T22:02:00.000-05:00

what is it about the brian eno / godspeed you black emperor / radiohead / mogwai / sigur ros / bjork type that drives me so crazy? they're just ... good.

eh. not mogwai. they havent caught me yet.

2001-05-08T18:41:00.000-05:00

Sigur Rós did a song called Starálfur off an album called Þetta er ágætis byrjun.

they're from iceland.

and they can make me cry.

it's THAT pretty.

beautiful, even.

2001-05-06T00:16:00.000-05:00

genyu's blade is bloody. very bloody. as bad as ninja scroll minus the sex.

long live shockwave anime.

2001-05-05T12:41:00.000-05:00

high points of jr. prom:

* kung fu and pensive poses in front of the "professional" photography background
* booty dancing with ren
* making motions of reeling in/lassoing al on the ubertiny dancefloor
*making fun of a happy hardcore "hey jude" remix by yelling "HAAAAARDCORE!" in the middle of all the songs we could think of
* two words: photon lights.
*stefan's cummerbund! haha cummerbund.

things to possibly bribe the dj at sr. prom to pay:

* impossibles (yeah rite that'd happen .. aw but i love them so)
* weezer (people would stand around not knowing how to dance to it)
* a fred song! (hells yah)
* i'm too sexy (at HHC speed)
* hey jude remix (people would boo .. until the millionth time around)
* darude - sandstorm (it gets repetitive but then again who cares)
* ferry corsten tiesto - vimana (so purty)
* dunne and sasha - xpander (eh, i dont know why i even put that there)

i think a fred song wins. well, that or "im too sexy."

2001-04-30T19:32:00.000-05:00

god is in your head.

2001-04-29T21:52:00.000-05:00

on nites like this i wish everyone i liked lived in this big hotel where we could all congregate on the roof and party. parTAY even. oh yes.

and then we'd bomb the school. just for monday, you see.

2001-04-29T17:25:00.000-05:00

ooh.

it just hit me how utterly perfect ice cream trucks are. it really doesnt get much better than that, y'know. you run along the other neighborhood kids with a handful of change, pick which one you want, and in two seconds flat you've got one of those nifty chocolate vanilla mickey mouse on a stick. it's a remnant of an age where there were still milkmen (there's no gender neutral term for that, is there) and ... something norman rockwell-esque perhaps?

well, things werent utopian then and they certainly arent now, what with that mickey mouse ice cream being consumed while disney sterilizes culture and uses lil kids in sweatshops to make their toys.

i guess only the idea of ice cream trucks is perfect.

2001-04-28T22:08:00.000-05:00

hahahaha, this rocks. the post-governorbush texas.

2001-04-28T22:06:00.000-05:00

On April 1st 2001, people dropped money in over fifty locations.

2001-04-23T19:41:00.000-05:00

hahah. funny canadians.

2001-04-23T19:40:00.000-05:00

did someone say ninja?
oh i think someone did...

2001-04-22T18:43:00.000-05:00

ananda could be my daughter's name.
my friends chloe and jason were in quebec this week.
ive been here.

2001-04-11T00:12:00.000-05:00

i was thirsty so i had a glass of milk. still thirsty so i had capri sun. then soy milk. then orange juice.

im still thirsty.

2001-04-09T23:04:00.000-05:00

pianographique is so cool. so. cool.

2001-04-08T22:14:00.000-05:00

the goggles race is unofficially between the $20.00 ones:

and the $65 ones:

what to pick, what to pick ...

2001-04-08T20:25:00.000-05:00

i cant believe im dling stuff from the cure. i used to hate em in junior high.

but it's .... so good!

2001-04-05T13:18:00.000-05:00

there is an advantage to having multiple songs in your head at once.

mixing the lyrics from Need You Around by the Smoking Popes with the HHC melody from Rainbow to the Stars makes one good song to shower by.

there's walking songs, shower songs, going to sleep songs, and probably lots of other kinds too.

2001-04-05T10:31:00.000-05:00

yhchang.com is a site with a buncha rants in flash. i likey it. specially the artist's statement.

2001-04-03T19:57:00.000-05:00

how to dance. reminds me of the people i met in decatur, illinois over the weekend ...

2001-04-03T19:55:00.000-05:00

oh my GOD that whole anemic thing with my lack of iron (which im now taking vitamins for) explains so much. symptoms of what i have:

* Weakness and tiredness
* Bleeding gums (juuust a tad)
* Sore tongue
* Difficulty maintaining balance
* Shortness of breath
* Headache
* Depression
* Confusion and dementia

iono about the "dementia" part but everything else is right. so maybe i wont fall down al's stairs anymore .... heh, laura's anemic and she fell down his stairs too.

2001-04-03T19:02:00.000-05:00

i tried to donate blood today, but they said i didn't have enuf iron in my system and that i'd pass out.

aw.

and i just found out my parents have been divorced for over a year except they didnt tell me and my brother til now (technically they just told him who told me).

well sheeiiit. they oughta said somethin sooner.

eh. whatever.

2001-03-27T19:46:00.000-06:00

aw crappity. im freakin out cuz i searched my room but i still cant find my Who Killed Retrogirl collection. sigh, it better turn up somewhere soon ....

ah bjork, i love you so:

2001-03-25T22:09:00.000-06:00

quotes from american beauty i fell in love with that im putting here so i have a place to store em:

ricky: "sometimes there's so much beauty in the world I feel like I can't take it, like my heart's going to cave in."

lester: i guess i could be pretty pissed of about what happened to me... but it's hard to stay mad, when there's so much beauty in the world. sometimes i feel like i'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst... and then i remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and i can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life...

2001-03-25T19:10:00.000-06:00

if i werent me, i'd smash myself with a hammer for having such a weird voice.

im listening to a recording and i just hate it :P

2001-03-25T18:31:00.000-06:00

INterNAtional LOG!

2001-03-25T09:22:00.000-06:00

friday, went to restaurant with buncha people and had fairly good food (maybe i shoulda ordered the lasagna ... practically everyone else at this other table and my own table did, hah). my favorite parts of the nite were when nick made his calamari dance .... yeah it was lame but lame is good. walking around downtown (i sang very badly and loudly ......) was good stuffs too, even if it was cold.

i went to al's house yesterday and we did a buncha stuff, the best of which was a song. well, we were originally gonna do a remix of the duck tales theme, so he handed me the mic to record the "ooWOO ooh!" (i love that oo WOO ooh) but then we recorded our conversation about the ooWOO ooh instead and looped it 16 times ... and the elements are conversation were structured in a way that made it rhythmic. we tried to add kicks and drums and other melodies but it was better by itself.

my brother said it sounds like creepy and hyena-like. :P

oh, then laura and roger came and we watched duck tales (ooh WOO oo!) and dancer in the dark. there wasnt enuf room on the couch, so me and laura took turns sprawling across everyone else.

and we played The Sims, basing the Carrot family on people we knew (hence, Rensise Carrot, Fred Carrot) using their looks and personality traits. oh man, it was hard to do the looks thing, tony ends up lookin reeeeal creepy :)

so far, we've got roaches, laura wont let al sleep in the same bed with her and makes him sleep on a cot outside, al's job makes him get up at 4 am, im depressed and in love with Scary Tony, rensise makes gnomes.

2001-03-24T07:29:00.000-06:00

oh man ... i really like the song hey jude by the beatles ... and if you do too, then the happy hardcore remix of it will either make you cringe or laugh.

.. i do both.

2001-03-22T19:43:00.000-06:00

i went to olga's house so i could borrow some of her clothes for this key club convention thing, and she was walking me to a bus stop. some dude on a bike said "hi, im mike. these shoes came from milan. i've been there five times." and then he started talking about our clothes and asked me if my gloves came from the gap. we said no and he seemed disappointed. and then he asked me "where are you from?"

i HATE that question. im a fuckin american. so i said "i was born here but my parents were from korea" and he said "oh, korea."

and then he said "you'd like my brother. my brother is getting a new car, a celica (sidenote: olga loves celicas) or maybe some other sportscar. he's trying to stpo from working on his computer all day long. give me your number and i can tell him to call you"

so in a nutshell, he was telling us:

a) he is cultured and goes to milan a lot
b) his brother has a pimpin car

why i dont like nicolette:

her: "why didn't you wear your costume this morning like all the other dancers?"
this other girl: "why arent YOU wearing your costume?"
her: "cuz i didn't want to look like a LOSER! *titters wildly in a stupid annoying way*

sigh.

first of all, it was a dumb question to begin with, since she already knew the answer. second, i hate the answer.

cuz dressing up is fun, specially when its cool school musical costumes, and even if it's not your bag then dont tell OTHER people it's dumb (she wasn't even playing, she tried to make it sound like she meant it). but nicolette's the worst cuz she'll totally change her opinion when talking to someone else about it, just to agree with that person.

2001-03-21T19:10:00.000-06:00

i have a thing to do during lunch tomorrow: im going to make a diagram of red house that shows what person sits where based on race. and sure, there's other factors as well. but ultimately, if you just draw little different colored dots on a piece of paper based on their position in those 48 tables, there's gonna be clustering.

i want to stick it up all over the school as an advertisement for Anti-Racism Pro-Unity Club with the words "are we denying ourselves each other?"

al: "thats gonna be a lot of dots"

i look around sometimes and realize that i can't really hate myself since i can't think of anyone else i'd rather be.

but then again, most people think like that i bet.

2001-03-14T18:01:00.000-06:00

today was very cool.

me and jeff and olga went to a generic chinese food place and bought a sack of egg rolls. we tried this really weird hot mustard ... oh man it was TERRIBLE. a few seconds into chewing, it made my nose burn like hell and jeff got all teary-eyed from it.

then we played frisbee! and went into the freezing cold water too (only a bit past the ankles) until it sorta hurt. jeff said he'd jump in for $5 except i didn't have any film so we're gonna wait a few weeks and do it (if it gets warmer he gets less money).

... we ended the day with sand between our toes and a zillion packs of hot mustard in the trunk.

i'm bringing my kite and sandals next time.

i always have a crazy time with friends. all i could ever want is for it to happen more often.

saw requiem for a dream just now. damn good movie.

some of it made me really doubt the reasons people do things. i mean, what if we're all assholes at heart who need people to need us otherwise we've got nothing. i try not to let that sort of thought get to me, but it's very right and very wrong.

and it's funny how so many things tie into drug culture. clothes, music, whatever. but those things are part of all culture too.

just got home from weezer. i think i almost died several times:

1. guy kept elbowing me in the throat and i couldn't breathe, plus "hey DUDE, your arm is stuck in my lungs"

2. bodysurfer fell on top of me and my neck practically snapped.

3. when it was ME that bodysurfed for the first time, and i almost died of fun

4. saw rainer and dd and stefan not at the show, but at a j.j peppers nearby.

met some guys from kentucky. and the aragon ballroom is pretty. plus it's a kick to surf the crowd. it's nice having so many people carry you as you look up at a pretty ceiling with lights and a disco ball with your favorite music pumping thru the air.

and .... they let confetti drop from the ceiling at the end.

i love weezer.

and i love you guys too ;P
