1:36 am	We fought for justice and not for gain I think I'm finally starting to understand. "Van Diemen's Land" Hold me now, oh hold me now 'til this hour has gone around And I'm gone on the rising tide For to face Van Diemen's land It's a bitter pill I swallow here To be rent from one so dear We fought for justice and not for gain But the magistrate sent me away Now kings will rule and the poor will toil And tear their hands as they tear the soil But a day will come in this dawning age When an honest man sees an honest wage Hold me now, oh hold me now 'til this hour has gone around And I'm gone on the rising tide For to face Van Diemen's land Current Mood: determined Current Music: Sarah flipping the pages of her GLAMOUR magazine (1 Comment |Comment on this)

1:08 pm	On Havana Nights So. Havana Nights came out last night, and I simultaneously re-entered the drinking world. Best things about yesterday: 1. Making our own Beirut table 2. My mysterious empty boxes finally arrived 3. Shotgunning beers before the movie 4. THE MOVIE! HOLY SHIT! More on this later 5. Being a piece of shit and playing in every game of Beirut 6. WINNING EVERY GAME WE PLAYED! (Team roommate, Team Awesome, and Team AL, represented) 7. Taking digipics for Jess 8. The Seven Deadly sins party Ok first of all-The movie was SO HOT. Diego Luna, my love for you will never fade...unfortunately...the movie as a whole, was....subpar. BUT IF YOU LIKE HOT MEN, IT IS STILL WORTH SEEING! PREFERABLY DRUNK! Important to note, that I brought more boys than girls to see it with me, how awesome is that? Sadly, I think they all hated me by the time it was over. Obviously I will be seeing the movie again, purely as a tribute to Diego's perfection. (A noticeable lack of impressive dancing, whats up with that?) So overall, Havana Nights was an amazing success...unfortunately, I lost any inner monologue by the end of the night...more on that if I like you enough to tell you embarrassing things that happen in my life. Its 50 degrees out and we are going downtown. Perfection. (Comment on this)

3:19 am	HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! You have to sing the subject title as the Outkast song. No really you have to, the title does not mean "Hey everybody, have a great valentines day!!" It means Andre 3000, aka Cupid Valentino is telling you to have a Happy ValenTINES day. ANYWAY. This vday was super great for the most part. Chronologically: 1. Chasing Airborne express man to get my package from home, which contained socks, jewelry, food, cds, and awesome pictures from when my brother shot his first deer. (Isn't that romantic??!?!!) 2. Dario's recital. What can I say, this was SO AWESOME. We never get to see him play by himself, so this was really special. 3. Emily's play: EMILY-YOU ARE A GODDESS. This show was so funny! I feel like today I just got to appreciate everybody's amazing artistic talents. AND they played Mason Jennings when the show ended!! I was DYING! 4. The afterparty: sadly, I am still in the middle of the soberness pledge, so I didn't get to really have a good time at the party...but Dario pulled a puke and rally which was beautiful, and Yuxing was so drunk she was talking like a 4 year old with an attitude, best spectacle I have seen in a LONG time. 5. Giving everybody VD valentines (they all got diseases) I found our valentines informative and socially relevant, I don't know about you. ENOUGH. A damn good day all around. I feel lucky to be surrounded by an amazingly large number of really, really good people to be with on days like today.

12:25 am	DAY OF DEATH AND DYING OK. I officially despise Tuesday February 10, 2004. Let me tell you why. 1. I heard Sarah's alarm go off this morning and almost fell of off my bed because I thought it was mine and I was trying to jump and turn it off. 2. Worst midterm of all midterms, didn't even finish it, ran out of time. 3. No dinner between classes because I have problems and didn't bring my wildcard to Norris. 4. Social Policy video: made me cry 5. Saw a dog that looked like a goat on steroids. no joke. made me cry. 6. Had to walk all the way home from Annenberg behind a girl who was singing loudly and badly and wearing a cinched waist coat. made me cry. 7. Tried and failed to start choreography tonight...this does not make me cry. I trust in our abilities. 8. ASB awesome, until realized it may or may not be a christian thing? nothing against christians, just wary about being pushed into doing things... Thats all I got. Sorry for dumping. I like when Jess and Heather and I have parallel terrible days. At least we can share the pain of our ridiculous lives. Current Mood: distressed Current Music: I LIKE THE WAY YOU MOVE!

1:56 pm	YOU GOT SERVED!!!!!! You Got Served is the best movie I have seen in a long time. No really. Go see it if you haven't. You'll realize immediately that the "acting" is ridiculous, but the dancing is so hot it makes up for it. Won't lie, tempted to go see it again. So I made it to the end of this devil week. It was actually more manageable than I anticipated, thank god. Still, slept until 12 today, skipped class and work. I feel like that was deserved though, don't you? Obviously updating my livejournal and thinking about how awesome You Got Served was is much more important. In other news: I have passed the halfway mark of my soberness pledge. I now have exactly 21 days until Havana Nights + Club Dread + beer + me =sensory overload. I can't WAIT. Until then, my weekends will continue to be filled with paper writing and going to parties sober. (which, by the way, is the WEIRDEST THING EVER...pretty much hate it. why would you go if you're going to be the only one who can tell that everyone else looks like an idiot? You might as well just go and be an idiot with them and then nobody remembers that you all looked stupid.) yeah. rock on chicago.

1:48 am	May I inquire discretely? So. This weekend was possibly the culmination of all nerdy things I've ever done in my life. I literally spent all of Friday and Saturday nights studying. If I don't ace these two midterms tomorrow...I'm shaving my head. Andre Agassi style. You know, revamp my image, just in time for a comeback with the next round of midterms. Or something. ANYWAY...this week will be the death of me. Not only the 2 midterms tomorrow, but papers due Tuesday and Wednesday, and another midterm Thursday. To top it off, my computer keeps overheating and shutting itself down. Nick told me that there's basically no point in fixing it. AWESOME! Why does everything I own overheat??? (home friends you will understand this the most) Looking forward to some delicious brownies with good friends on Friday. But HEY!!! AT LEAST TOMORROW IS GROUNDHOGS DAY!!!!

12:05 pm	paralyzed with fear of next week First of all, I had the most ridiculous dream last night. I was pregnant, and then I delivered the baby in like, ten minutes and without pain. My mom was there, freaking about about how ridiculously easy the delivery was. The baby weighed five pounds and had a beet red face. WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN??? Most likely it means a "sudden windfall of money" or "watch out for untrustworthy people" or something. ANYWAY...I realized that I have three midterms and two papers due next week. Am I crying?? YES. EVERYDAY. But I think once I get past next week the rest of the quarter is going to be fairly manageable. I decided that I'm going home for spring break, and I'm starting to get really excited. It's taken me until about now to get used to the idea of my family in a new house/house I've never REALLY lived in, but it seems pretty normal now, and I'm excited to spend time with them. Hopefully we can go to Lutsen for a couple of days?? Who knows. (I DONT KNOW IF WE'LL HAVE ENOUGH TIME!) Not much more going on right now. Just lots of dread of next week.

2:11 pm	JESS IS LEAVING, KITTIES AND BABIES ARE CRYING Ok, so this weekend was amazing. Lets not lie....the combination of Jess + me + weekend=best thing ever. Unfortunately, due to my pledge to sobriety, I was unable to partake in certain evening activities, but its giving me a new perspective. I should write a groundbreaking novel about my experience. IT WOULD SELL MILLIONS!! It could be a seven novel series, like Harry Potter, except with lots more flying and magic. ANYWAY....now Jess is leaving, and my shitty winter quarter is going to pick right back up. Highlights of the upcoming week: Group project (DIE) Interviewing a mentor couple (maybe fun, but most likely DIE) more volunteer work (ok, I like kids, but for the sake of this idea, DIE) so yeah. Thats about all I got right now. Hope you're enjoying the picture of my hooters. Current Mood: rushed Current Music: TOXIC: damn song won't leave me alone (1 Comment |Comment on this)
