| i get in music modes sometimes, and im in one now. the past year i've just been swamped with too much, too many choices, it just turns me off. but here at my parents, it's so much better than it's been. i've been listening to so many different online radio stations, listening to the 4 cds i brought with me, and just loving all of it. i wonder if McDonalds would sue me if i said "i'm lovin' it!"
but, everyone should know that too much of any good thing makes it less good. also, music is better when one is more emotionally distraught (which is the case when i'm at my parents). plus, i'm totally in control of what im listening to which makes me automatically like it better. so, 3 reasons why.
lets see... i feel like ive never left springfield. mostly hanging out on the computer playing bad games like Zuma. my AIM list is over halfway full of people i dont chat with anymore. my cell phone contacts list is the same way. i suppose i should delete them all
speaking of cell phone, i got a new one and its great. camera, mp3 player, movie taker, fm radio, text messaging, blahblah. im happy with anything electronic though. i also got a new drivers license.
the last day here, i feel mixtures of regret, happiness, relief, and .. i guess just pain. family is a complicated matter, everyone knows this. sisterhood should be this sweet, wonderful thing but its not like that with us. its claws, anger, and disappointment. one day though, we just may get along.
if i ever write a song, i think ill write about our sisterly relationship. | | |
| Vancouver! Seattle! big city lights, a huuge variety of food, stressful traffic, and lots of fun things.
our trip was a success, I think. we saw two big cities, got a
basic feel for them and did things that we couldnt do here in
eugene. We (put together) bought: a purse in chinatown, sailor
moon bootleg stickers, bootleg perfume, some bollywood stuff, a lot of
magazines including Found vol 4, a pair of pants for him,
wrapping paper, neat leg stockings, a haircut by a japanese dude named
Go, and more.
i also saw my friend Brad for the first time in like a freaking year
which was great. hes so cool, i was slightly nervous about 2
dudes and a girl hanging out together, like it would cause a feeling of
disporportionment (uhh that word might not be right) but in fact, i
think it was just a delightful mixture.
so tomorrow at 4:30 am we leave for the airport in a cheap cab.
home for the holidays means: wearing more makeup than usual, having to
listen to Fox news blaring in the background about 13 hrs a day,
dealing with my sister who is 'ever so delicate,' and uhh getting
presents i most likely wont like...
but actually, im really excited! i miss my family members. theres
certainly good things about going home too, but those are a lot harder
to write out. i guess just familiar smells, faces, food, and
whatever else. i miss springfield too, and those ol familiar
streets.
anyway, gyoza and rice is ready. we'll be back in Eugene not really for good until Jan 6th or so.

| holy moly! i was tagged! and im actually going to participate!
so, i have to list 5 weird habits.. thats really easy for me.
1. i pick my scabs OCD-like. i have scars all over my body
because of it, and it
suckkkks! im really trying hard
to stop.
2. i take off my shoes immediately when i walk in the door.
kutsuomeidekudasai is what our door says, and it has
now become a habit when i walk into anyone else's home to
take off my shoes.
3. a lot of nights before going to bed, i eat two rolaids (those
colorful, chalky chewable
things). i started doing it as a kid
because i was terrified of throwing up and i thought
it helped prevent that from happening. sooo,
anytime i feel slightly "weird" in the
stomache, thats what i do.
4. uhh, i HAVE to drink milk in the morning. i have a very
strict morning routine actually. all of that
is sort of a weird habit. like, i have to sit on the couch and watch
the news as i eat oatmeal and drink my BIG glass of
milk!!
5. when im bored and have nothing to do, its a bad habit to
always look at random
peoples profiles on blog websites. i love it
yet hate it all at once. weird, huh?
so thats about it. i have a bunch of kickass pictures from the
camping trip william and i went on of .....MUSHROOMS! we saw so
many mushrooms, it was great. i'll post them soon. right
now i'm off to see Flight Plan. it's been one of those sundays,
ya know? kind of crappy. but its getting better.
as for tagging... uhh I tag Entropia (josh) and Chris Weiss!!!

| what a party! here in C 23 playing video games allll night and uhh
drinking kool aid and taking turns updating our sillly blogs. Ahh
the good life.
we saw Invert and The Rachels on thursday night which was really
nice. I wanted to yell "HEY i play the cello... so if anyone
wants to make music sooort of like this, lets DO it!"
id like a singer and a keyboardist... maybe like a flute or harp or
something extra pretty. id like lots of minor key songs with
pretty arpeggios and just all in all a very beautiful sound. id
want to do some covers, like of Rasputina or Christine Fellows... but
only a couple.
didnt make it to the Decemberists show which was too bad but there will
probably be another chance. i have to get used to tickets being
like 15 bucks each. in good ol MO, i hardly paid more than
8. Mirror Mask was kind of disappointing too by the way, at least
the three of us who went all thought it was. the design was nice
but man Valentine sucked (especially his costume ick).
william got a free ipod, hooray, itll be great for car rides. we
also want cobalt flux dance dance revolution pads so we can play all
the ddr we want and not have to deal with crappy squishy pads that wont
register! i hope we get an actually DDR machine one day... ahh
that would be a wise purchase, much better than a bowflex which is
probably about the same price.
ramble ramble, ill stop.
yay for weekends, im really pleased with today.
ugly halloween costume! ewwww
