For everyone who has a best friend who doesn't live by them. [20 May 2008|02:55am] Oh, it's the Masked Crusaders, at it again. Don't cross us, or we'll cross you twice. Every time I see my best friend, I feel like all the ducks in the world are in a row, or whatever it is they say. I feel like the world makes sense again, like every penny is sunny side up, like everyone's a straight shooter, I feel like there's hope for everyone and for everything. And every time I have to leave her, inevitably after a few days, I always feel like shooting myself when I'm coming home, because my heart weighs ten billion pounds and I can barely walk. Because why can't the world be nice? Why can't we sit on the floor in subway starions and have competitions to see who can fit more grapes in their mouths? Why aren't there more hours in a day so we can jam on the ax and sing with our pipes, and watch zombie movies without falling asleep? Why isn't there more time to make up superhero names and take pictures of each other with scary masks on? Why are we Boris and Amos? Why can't we be Bonnie and Bonnie? One day, one day, one day! I always say one day, but one day can't come soon enough. 2 comments|post comment

young at heart [01 Apr 2008|02:27pm] So, someone just asked me what I wanted for my birthday this year, and I said: 1.) A puppy. 2.) Sheets that feel like clouds. 3.) Teenage Zombies: Invasion of the Alien Brain Thingys! for DS. As soon as I finished rattling off my very special top three wishes, I realized that wait: I'm not turning 24... I'm turning 12. Hey, don't know 'bout you, but works for me. 10 comments|post comment

All I ever say is awesome, badass, shit, and butts. [27 Mar 2008|03:56am] So, I wore this to work two days ago: I don't know, wearing a dog shirt to a doggie daycare is kind of like those people that wear band tshirts to the band they are going to see, but I feel like it's.. well, uh, no, it might be even dorkier but hey! I might as well keep it a secret by posting it on the internet! To say that life has been awesome lately would probably be an understatement. Please see also: off the hook, balls to the dang wall, and badass. Spring has been fighting to kick winter's ass and I don't know about you but I am sooo friggen rooting for it. Other than that, I'm really busy obsessing over riding bikes, and I've made about 35 new best friends in the past month; they all have four legs and a tail, like taking long walks, eating treats, and kissing me. It's all right. ...Okay, I lied it is totally awesome. Top 10 Things In My World Lately: - puppy dogs! (surprise!) - um, making dog cards - obsessing over fonts for zine #3 - haunting megabus - forest green nailpolish - $9 tshirt sales - sushi - kate nash's accent - having dreams about t-rex, zombies, and you - well, danzig actually I also wanted to let you know that somehow I... I... well, I turned ten years old since the last time we spoke, which was many moons ago. The other day when my little sister and I were in the garage smoking, she wrote, "hell" and "fart" on my mom's car and I wrote, "butts" and for some reason this was absolutely the funniest thing to ever happen in the history of existence. Even funnier is the fact that my mother has somehow NOT noticed this yet and has been driving around to work and grocery shopping and lunch with my grandma all while sporting on her car these amazing word choices care of her daughters. When I brought this up to Tom, he informed me that the best thing he's ever seen written on a car is, "I wish my wife was this dirty!" which is probably going to end up on my mom's car like.... tomorrow. I think I am finally over this past year. What a goddamn relief, shit can go back to being cool again. 7 comments|post comment

Chicagoooooooo [23 Feb 2008|03:10pm] [ music | //okkervil river-so come back, i am waiting ] +While I was in Chicago, The Museum of Modern Ice had an art exhibition downtown where they featured artists making "stained glass" out of giant sheets of ice. Everyone I was with wasn't very impressed but I was totally enamored with them and took a bunch of pictures. They reminded me of big, huge blocks of frozen slushees. +Also, we were huge tourists while we were there, and took those required cheesy photos of/with the bean: This is me holding up the bean with my INCREDIBLY POWERFUL BICEPS. +Exploring Grant Park. I was so fucking cold at the time these pictures were taken, but now it seems worth it, now that I am warm and typing this while wearing fuzzy bear slippers and having mostly forgotten how it feels to NOT feel my toes. OKAY AND SO UH. I WANT TO LIVE INSIDE THIS FOUNTAIN FOREVER BY THE SEASHORE. ITS SO BEAUTIFUL. +Speaking of places I want to live, I wish this dude was my dad so I could have this badass treehouse. 3 comments|post comment

God I love Space. [20 Feb 2008|07:39pm] There is a total lunar eclipse tonight, if anyone is interested. To newbs and nonspace geeks, that means the moon is completely immersed within the Earth's shadow. The whole eclipse will only last for a little under an hour, but the moon will be partially eclipsed for over an hour before and over an hour after. So we're looking at like three good hours of sweet moon hang out time. Of you're in Eastern Standard time like me, the partial eclipse begins at 8:43 pm and the total begins at 10:01 pm. If you're in Central time, that'll be an hour earlier obviously. If you live anywhere else.. I don't know, consult NASA online, that's what I did. They seem to know a bit about space. This is the last lunar eclipse we will see until December of 2010! Who knows what we'll be doing by then? Possibly being boring and not caring about space anymore, although I sincerely hope not. Who wants to hang out now and peer up at the moon and stars like dorks? Beer and moonboots optional. 11 comments|post comment

cute puppy update [09 Jan 2008|02:38pm] This is Dozer/Brutus. He snorts when he breathes, and wheezes when he sleeps. He enjoys slobber, gnarly farts, squirming, and hugging people. This is Georgia. We are the best of friends. We have a lot in common, too. I have long hair, she has long ears, we both have little freckles, and we are both clumsy and silly. She is my girl. She steps on her ears when she walks, so most of the time I carry her around. She cries when I don't hold her. I won't be able to do that too much longer because she is quickly getting heavier and heavier. Oh, Georgia. 15 comments|post comment

Staying Gold First Issue, Sunsets, Canoes [12 Jul 2007|06:08pm] [ mood | //tired ] [ music | //bob dylan- nobody cept you ] Okay, so I know I have been talking about it FOREVER but it's FINALLY done: Staying Gold is a nonfiction 1/2 page zine written and put together by well.. me. So as I've said before, if you like reading about sweet and sour summer romances, best friends and lawn ornaments, elephants, boys who walk around in a permanent cloud of smoke, old buildings in Detroit, and Einstein's theories... then maybe you will like this. Right now I'm just selling them myself.. it takes a dollar to put them together and another dollar to ship.. so I am charging $3 all together just to break even. If anyone is interested in a copy please let me know! Thankssss. Other than that exciting news, (maybe just to me, not to you) (!!!!!!!!!!!!!) I am going canoeing (that looks so weird, doesn't it? I feel like I should be spelling it canooing even though I know that is beyond a doubt INCORRECT, but WHATEVER) this weekend with a couple of total darling babes. I don't know about you but life has been throwing me so many curveballs lately that I don't even know if I'm still in the game. I need a fucking vacation. I need sunshine and birds and trees and probably a colorful lawn chair. I need something like this: Man do I ever need Superman Ice Cream Sunsets. 22 comments|post comment

So this is going to be my weekend: [14 Jun 2007|10:31am] So um, us four buddies are teaming up to get rid of an excessive amount of sweet stuff. Sort of like Captain Planet, except we're selling you our crap instead of saving the planet. But still, the common theme of RECYCLING! Yeah! Other than this, all I have been up to lately is drinking cheap wine, watching French movies about judo and threesomes, and writing songs that sound like they are from the 1960's. 8 comments|post comment

pan's labyrinth, patrick wolf, bookworms, misc [16 May 2007|06:03pm] + Pan's Labyrinth was so completely beautiful that it killed me. That is right, I am typing to you from the grave. That is how friggen good this was. Anyone who tells you otherwise is clearly insane and not in touch with their inner child, or REALITY for that matter, because this was AMAZZZINNGGG. + Oh, Patrick Wolf. Why haven't I gotten into you before now? Perhaps I was put off by your flashy hair and outfits. I.. well, I'm not going to mince words here. I thought your Ronald McDonald hair was stupid and that you dressed like a big fat idiot. But I actually gave you a chance and ahh... you sing like a cherub, baby. A dang angel. 01. Patrick Wolf - Afraid 02. Patrick Wolf - Godrevy Point 03. Patrick Wolf - The Magic Position Also, he does a really good cover of Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill", which personally I really think needed to be covered since her version totally sucked balls, no offense Kate Bush fans, if they even exist. (Placebo does a better cover of the song, but I'm pretty sure everyone has that already.) 04. Patrick Wolf - Running Up That Hill + God such a lovable weirdo. But aren't those the best kind? + Besides listening to Patrick Wolf somewhat obsessively, here are some other songs I've been loving lately, in no particular order, genre of music, or anything like that. I was tempted to upload the score to Peter Pan but decided against it, as I figure anyone who would want to uh.. download it probably is dorky enough to have done so already. 01. Spiritualized - I Didn't Mean To Hurt You 02. Tim Armstrong - Wake Up 03. The Detroit Cobras - Baby Let Me Hold Your Hand 04. The Ronettes - The Best Part Of Breakin' Up 05. Ben Harper - In Your Eyes 06. The Field Mice - Emma's House 07. Holly Throsby - Things Between People 08. Lemonheads - If I Could Talk I'd Tell You 09. The Beatles - Long, Long, Long + Yeah, so, anyway. Let me know if you liked them like I did/do. Does anyone have any movie or music recommendations for me? I've been craving some ear and eye candy lately. And for eye candy I will also accept photos of hot dudes. + I have seriously been obsessed with www.goodreads.com lately. I've only been a member for like a week but already it has turned into a total sickness. I am up at all hours categorizing the books I've read into appropriate bookshelves, writing reviews of the books I'm through with, reevaluating my five star rating system, finding new books to read and placing them in my "to-read" box. A.) If you haven't already joined the site and B.) You are a total bookworm like me, then you should really look into it. Oh, and add me, man, so we can be book buddies. + Have most of us abandoned livejournal in favor of myspace? It's seemed like a little ghostland here for the longest of times. Boooo. + P.S. All I watch anymore is American Gladiators. 10 comments|post comment

In regards to Patrick and all his ginger friends [17 Mar 2007|02:06pm] Dear Everyone, You need to wear green today. If you don't, my very Irish grandma will probably hunt you down and cut you up into little pieces and feed you to angry leprechauns. Why? Because for one my grandma is one bad mamajama and for two because Erin Go Bragh, mother fuckers. That's right, Ireland forever! 4 comments|post comment

[05 Mar 2007|03:59am] note to self: - learn how to say fantastically pretty things in french - quit drawing pictures of sand castles - stop listening to "crimson and clover" because it's getting nauseating - you are finally finished reading "cowboys are my weakness" - too bad it didn't have 1,000 more pages - you should cuddle with more puppies 1 comment|post comment

The Fountain [25 Jan 2007|12:18am]

Re: TOTALLY FREAKY. [24 Jan 2007|02:10am] [ music | //IM UGLY IM BALD ] So it is late, and I should be doing homework, but instead the Best Thing Ever just fell into my lap straight outta Funny Heaven. I shit you not. It all started out with me watching this really creepy video on a Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen livejournal community. This bald creepster made a Happy New Years video in honor of MKA, which basically consisted of a photo montage and zooming in and out on their collective cleavages. Now, I thought that the best part was the end, where the man included a photo of himself lounging lecherously beside a Charlie Brownesque Christmas tree in knee high fuzzy tan boots, but that was just me. I mean, what do I know? Well, I know better than to repost it here on the internet, because that would just be.. uncouth. Okay, so I lied. Anyway, I thought that the picture was the best part, until I realized this man has a WEBSITE where he WRITES SONGS TO ASHLEY AND MARY KATE. Please allow me to advertise for this future serial killer and eater of kittens incredible human being. click for absolute terror and hilarity Might I recommend listening to the song "Gonna Fuck Up"? It has the best lyrics ever. ( gonna fuck up lyrics ) God, this is the best thing to ever happen to the internet until probably tomorrow. 8 comments|post comment

"Sippin' on Jenn and Juice!" [23 Jan 2007|11:30pm] Dude, so today at my alcohol class someone recognized me from myspace. Awesome!

meeee i want a hoooola hoooop [25 Dec 2006|12:44pm] [ mood | //MERRY ] [ music | //alvin and the chipmunks- christmas don't be late ] this morning during christmas breakfast, we listened to the carpenters x-mas cd. my mom was talking about how karen carpenter had anorexia and how she died from it. "she had such a beautiful voice..." she said. "she had everything going for her." not missing a beat, my dad followed up with, "yeah, except an appetite." god i love christmas. p.s. we also all crowded around the computer to watch this: and it has made me decide that i want justin timberlake for christmas. i know it's sort of late notice, but i just feel like if santa loves me enough he will do me this one small favor. i just need justin timberlake in a cup o' soup costume in my loving, loving arms tonight. merryyyyy xmas gais! 14 comments|post comment

ice, ice baby [01 Dec 2006|03:23pm] [ mood | //bald ] [ music | //Not V Ice ] So about a week ago, due to copious amounts of bad judgment, alcohol, and a bathroom full of girls and some men's hair clippers, me and like five of my friends shaved our heads like this: I don't know if the resemblance is necessarily striking, but I think that the haircut itself is probably striking enough. I mean, it's totally cool though, it will only take me like.......a year to grow that hair back. Who knows man, maybe I'll tackle the flat top next. Stop, collaborate, and listen. 22 comments|post comment

This just in [28 Nov 2006|07:21am] [ mood | //on top of it ] [ music | //joni mitchell knows what the fuck is up ] Oh, you know, things are okay... I guess. Sike, they are awesome. On a sidenote, today I totally watched fish devour crickets and it was probably the grossest thing ever because I could hear their TEETH GNASHING TOGETHER AS THEY ATE THE SHIT OUT OF THE CREEPY CRAWLERS. It makes me feel very queasy about fishtanks. Oh, and fuck tiny puffer fish for life. THESE GUYS ARE BLOODTHIRSTY CRAZY MURDERERS. THE MIKE TYSONS OF SALTWATER FISH TANKS. Also, I really need a job. Someone find me a job. Or someone hire me to do their laundry. I am an excellent folder. Ask anyone. 16 comments|post comment

Some Bullshit [20 Nov 2006|10:49am] [ mood | //Tired, man ] [ music | //Mariah Carey- You'll Always Be My Baby ] 01. I don't know if you've ever read She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb but I did, and it broke my heart into a million pieces. Honest. Clifton lent it to me the other day, his bookmark in Chapter 9, saying, "I uh.. think this is more of a girl thing." I traded him Puff, a book about two hooligan brothers in a blizzard trying to score a bag of pot. "This might be more of a boy thing." I said. "Did you like it?" he asked. "Well of course I did, I am all for epic tales involving exceedingly fine ounces of Dominican Sin." "...Oh. Well that sounds cool." "Yes." 02. Okay, so Grandma's Boy was pretty much the funniest ever. I held out on watching it for a really long time because I thought it was going to be a giant shit factory. But then I started watching it. And then this happened: HGahahhahaAHaha...hoo. I just... haghahahaha. SO GOOD. 03. What I've listened to on repeat for like 6 hours: Iron & Wine- Someday the Waves The Mountain Goats- Going to Georgia The Fiery Furnaces- Waiting To Know You The Magnetic Fields- Nothing Matters When We're Dancing Bob Dylan- Just Like A Woman The Softies- Me and the Bees Echo and the Bunnymen- Nothing Lasts Forever Damien Rice- 9 Crimes 04. Megan and I with enough hair to start a 1980's band: 05. I have been listening to Mariah Carey since 7 am. Homegirl got mad skillz. 06. Okay, BYE. 29 comments|post comment

Mark YOU LOVE GWAR, WHY DONT YOU JOIN THE BAND??? [17 Oct 2006|02:15pm] [ mood | //amazing ] [ music | //lucero ] Thanks to my evergrowing love of stupid tshirts, I was scouting out for some yesterday, and found this: Due to my considerably numerous law breaking blunders, including but not limited to four speeding tickets, one DUI, and a disorderly persons ticket, I think this shirt and I are meant to be. So much so that I think that this shirt was crafted in Tshirt Heaven and was sent down to Earth on a cloud specifically to be worn by Yours Truly. Also, guess what I am doing October 28th? THIS: You wouldn't believe how many people I have asked to go to Gwar with me that have said NO. .... Actually, you probably would believe. Like five. But seriously, someone needs to go with me. So WHO IS GONNA STEP UP TO BAT, HUH? WHO. Some videos for your my enjoyment: ( yet another amazing life changing video ) All right I need to go eat a peanut butter sandwich now. See ya, sista. 35 comments|post comment
