I just wanted to have a short little entry to thank everyone who's been commenting in my journal. It's nice to know that people care and that people listen to what i have to say. It just makes me feel like I belong somewhere, especially when I haven't really been getting along with many of my school friends lately. Thanks.

well, i'm back from spring break. but i'm not happy to be back at school. now i only crave summer more, especially after the weather we had this weekend.
spring break was amazing for not doing anything really. i spent a lot of time with chris, which was wonderful. none of my other friends were really home, so i didn't really hang out with anyone...

i think spring break was invented to make us want summer. and as for the question... rubber ducky, what else would i sing?
lying all alone and restless.
unable to lose this image.
sleepless, unable to focus on anything but your surrender.
tugging a rhythm to the vision that's in my head.
tugging a beat to the sight of you lying
so delighted with your new understanding.
there's something about a little evil that makes that unmistakable noise i
was hearing,
that unmistakable sound i know so well....

i'm just amazed that you were able to type out the lyrics to one song while listening to another.
my brain isn't that talented. i'd get them all jumbled together.

It is so nice to be home and not have to mess around with any school stuff like homework and studying and tests. I can sleep in and stay up late and do whatever i want and see old friends that are also in town. i love it...if only my two best friends were here too. I haven't really done much since i've been home...

I was about 6 or 8... or something. And I learned the words... "Fuck, cunt, shag" and I didn't know what they meant. I called my dad a twat because I thought it was like saying "fool". So after that, my mum sat me and my brother down and put on a very tasteful softcore porn thing of a man and woman "making love". I remember getting a boner, which I didn't know what that was about. So anyway, then the video panned into a pregnant bird, then the birth-giving scene. And that's how I learned about sex, about where babies came from and what my boner was for. I watched that video again when I was 17, I didn't get a boner that time, nuh-uh. Oh well.

Wow, you're beautiful! 
i'm starting to really take the war thing seriously. last night i got so upset about it and it really surprised me. i'm so scared and upset, mainly because i don't understand what the hell is going on in the world today. last night on my way home for spring break i got stuck in the mess that was downtown portland last night. those of...

Not wanting to sound rude, etc, but I think many people are feeling like that in the US because they've finally realised that there's more to the world than just the states.
It's sad, but true.

I dunno about the whole proud to be an american but i am still proud to live in america. And although i don't believe in how bush is handling this i do feel comfortable that i have the power to say I HATE BUSH, I HATE THIS WAR and nothing will happen to me. Do you realize that if you speak out agaisnt Saddam in Iraq that you are killed.
Saddam is a dangerous and sick man and he does need to be removed from power in order to attain this idea of world peace.
As much as i don't agree with the war, I am happy that I live where i live and am entitled to my opinion.

i want to wake up from an afternoon nap feeling fully rested and seeing you sitting at the foot of my bed watching over me. i want you to kiss me and pull me close so i can smell as only you can smell. i want to make the best love of my life and stay in bed talking until the sun comes up. no...

sometimes when you say goodbye to a good friend, you are surprised at the good things it can bring. maybe you will be able to correspond with this person going to california in a way that you couldn't before because you were so close. and in corresponding with them, maybe you will be able to share more intimate things than you could have before. maybe? it will all be ok, december promises!!

1. 'NO!' *Slap*
2. Loving someone regardless of obstacles, complications, others interferences and being prepared to give yourself to someone 110% without being afraid that you're not doing the right thing.
3. Frasier, I think

Yep- I keep re-reading The Hottest State, which is just so well written- I mean as a character study it paints the character of William pretty much to the point that you feel enough of an affinity with him to actually care- and at the same time feel really involved in everything that happens. It really still surprises me sometimes that Ethan Hawke could come out witha novel and it BE good, so few people who act can ever do anything BUT act-
Anyways, I've had Ash Wednesday for ages but have somehow never gotten around to reading it- one thing or another- what with relocating 4000 miles from Ontario and all, and yeah- I can imagine it will be great but not come close to The Hottest State.
I know what you're going through relationship-wise too... the long-distance thing... been there, done that, could not handle it....
Mmm. The Handmaids Tale is another one... That book is so bizarre conceptually, I mean I don't think the ideas in it are so far fetched, but I found a lot of it pretty disturbing. I think she's a good writer, but I wouldn't say I'm a fan.
AS for your essay for that trip to britain- so long as you make a big deal about the great british writers and playwrights from years gone by, the sense of history and social and cultural diversity here,- and how seeing anotehr similar but altogether different culture will give you a different slant on modern society and so on, that should steer you right...
Take care, and good luck with everything

Thanks. Yeah i hope that is how things will work out. I suppose for now I should just focus on now, and enjoy the good times when they come.
so i had to go to court for my speeding ticket today. what an experience. i plead guilty and explained all the bullshit reasons why i was speeding and all that. everyone told me that the ticket would get reduced since it was my first and because i showed up in court. imagine my surprise when the judge said i had to pay $150...$50 more...

That's really sucky... I've been there myself- you'd think the police would have actual 'criminals' to seek out and arrest isntead of giving out tickets because you happen to be going ten miles faster than they say you should be...
Anywho- what are you up to this weekend? Anything special?
