You're Geek Chic. Offbeat and with a thumbful of
calluses, you spend most of your time catching
Simpsons reruns and sucking down raspberry
Jell-O. However, you're still a hipster,
you've still got your own style, and you
probably dig the Velvet Underground's "Who
Loves the Sun?"
What Kind of Hipster Are You?

It's no good pretending that any relationship has a future if your record collections disagree violently or if your favorite films wouldn't even speak to each other if they met at a party.
-- Nick Hornby, High Fidelity
An Indie Girl's life is a Statement with a capital S, but unlike the Granola Girl, the statement is not political -- it's artistic. Indie Girls consider themselves actresses in the movie of life. Your meal needs to be constructed like an independent film. If you're bringing her over for a date, you are playing a character in her movie. If you create a setting, props, and a soundtrack that are good enough to avoid the cutting-room floor, she's yours.
You can boil the Indie Girl down to two words: cultural literacy. Or how about these two: media consumption. As the Gourmet Girl loves food and all that goes with it, the Indie Girl loves media: books, movies, music, and art. The good news is you don't have to be rich, good-looking, or famous to win this girl's heart. The bad news is she will judge you based on your music choices, the books you read, and the films you watch.
She Might Be a Indie Girl if:
1. She drives: a classic car, a VW beetle, a Mini Cooper, or a Vespa scooter.
2. She can talk for more than ten minutes about: obscure pop culture.
3. She begins her sentences with: "It's like that Simpsons episode . . ."
4. She'd never: drive a mini-van.
5. She owns any of the following: TiVo, a mini-DV camera, an iPod, a pottery wheel, a serger, or a lava lamp. |

today was anything but exciting, but i actually did accomplish some stuff.
I typed up my NU-380 paper and dropped it in my prof. mail box. That paper was due wednesday... This is the first time in my life i actually handed in something late. I just could not get it done in time. I was too overwhelemed. Oh well. Nothing i can do about it now. I am not going to stress over it. I also made copies of some tax stuff and dropped it off at the financial aid office, went to the video store to return Eternal Sunshine. No way was i going to let that be late. The last time kim and i took out movies we had to pay 31 bucks in late fees... and guess who got stuck paying for it all (ill give you a hint, it wasnt kim). So yeah. I think from now on if i want to rent a movie ill go get it and watch it myself.
I also bought a new journal today. I havent had a real journal (no offense, LJ) since the summer, and not writing in one has made me so how dependent i really am on one. I am able to get a lot out... a good way of venting without worrying about being judged. No need to censor or anything. Just a flow of consciousness.
Tonight my plan is to outline 3 chapters of my psych text book, so i can study it all day tomorrow. Tomorrow night i think im going to the internet cafe w/ chris for his friends record release party or something along those lines. Sounds like fun. I need to get out. I didnt do anything fun this semester. I didnt do anything fun since the summer.
Bah... i cant wait for January. winter break + kyle + hawaii= one happy tray.
What is going to make an even happier tray is when i put my 2 weeks in for davids bridal... thanksgiving weekend. . i feel bad, cos a whole bunch of people quit... but i cant work in january cos ill be in hawaii, and in next semester i am doing my thesis + 18 credits. No way will i be able to work at the same time. Oh well. we shall see what happens.
as for now, i have tons of psychology to get crackin on.
adios |

So i wateched eternal sunshine of the spotless mind last night. That was such a great movie. I am going to watch it again before i return it later. It was so fab. There It was scripted so well... Some of the lines were amazing. Jim Carrey was perfect for that movie. I <3 him, (esp. in Bruce almight) but this sealed the deal. Near the end of the movie there is one part ....
Joel : Wait.
Clementine : Why?
Joel : I don't know. Just wait... for a while.
That scene was like... I dunno. Just wow. Such desparation in trying to do anything not to loose someone you love.
another good line by Joel was : Constantly talking isn't necessarily communicating.
There was one short part in the movie, where they show joel and clementine at a drive in movie, making up there own words to what they were seeing. That part cracked me up, and made me sad inside. I miss kyle... and that is something we would do. We've never gone to a drive in movie, but we make up words to tv shows. TV on mute with music on.... we just sat on his bed in the basement making our own story up to some weird movie *sigh*
i need to own this movie. |

Dear Supporter,
Earlier today I spoke to President Bush, and offered him and Laura our congratulations on their victory. We had a good conversation, and we talked about the danger of division in our country and the need, the desperate need, for unity for finding the common ground, coming together. Today, I hope that we can begin the healing.
In America, it is vital that every vote counts, and that every vote be counted. But the outcome should be decided by voters, not a protracted legal process. I would not give up this fight if there was a chance that we would prevail. But it is now clear that even when all the provisional ballots are counted, which they will be, there won?t be enough outstanding votes for our campaign to be able to win Ohio. And therefore, we cannot win this election.
It was a privilege and a gift to spend two years traveling this country, coming to know so many of you. I wish I could just wrap you in my arms and embrace each and every one of you individually all across this nation. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you.
To all of you, my volunteers and online supporters, all across this country who gave so much of themselves, thank you. Thanks to William Field, a six-year-old who collected $680, a quarter and a dollar at a time selling bracelets during the summer to help change America. Thanks to Michael Benson from Florida who I spied in a rope line holding a container of money. It turned out he raided his piggy bank and wanted to contribute. And thanks to Alana Wexler, who at 11 years old and started Kids for Kerry.
I thank all of you, who took time to travel, time off from work, and their own vacation time to work in states far and wide. You braved the hot days of summer and the cold days of the fall and the winter to knock on doors because you were determined to open the doors of opportunity to all Americans. You worked your hearts out, and I say, don?t lose faith. What you did made a difference, and building on itself, we will go on to make a difference another day. I promise you, that time will come ? the election will come when your work and your ballots will change the world, and it's worth fighting for.
I'm proud of what we stood for in this campaign, and of what we accomplished. When we began, no one thought it was possible to even make this a close race, but we stood for real change, change that would make a real difference in the life of our nation, the lives of our families, and we defined that choice to America. I'll never forget the wonderful people who came to our rallies, who stood in our rope lines, who put their hopes in our hands, who invested in each and every one of us. I saw in them the truth that America is not only great, but it is good.
So here ? with a grateful heart, I leave this campaign with a prayer that has even greater meaning to me now that I've come to know our vast country so much better and that prayer is very simple: God bless America.
Thank you.

wow... suddenly its gotten quite dark in here
*clicks lamp on*
so last night i was pretty upset again. I was at home. Go figure. Im starting to notice a pattern. Being in my house + my parents = crying , among other things. I went into my room at whatever time it was i decided going to bed was a good idea. I think it was a little after 1, but who knows. I just started crying, uncontrollably, and so hard. I think i exhausted myself cos i dont remember falling asleep. heh. I slept horribly cos i was freezing all night, because my dad doesnt belive in wasting money on petty thigns like heat.
hmm. So i think my brain is out of order. ITs almost 5pm, and i can hardly remmebr what i did today. Like, i remember voting, and going to a class. I remember the class seeming to go by really fast, but i dont remeber the class. I remember voting, and i remember picking my sister up from school. I dunno. Its like, the whole day is gone already, and i didnt do anything. I had to do something during the day?? whatev. I just want to go to sleep.
I have a ginormous health paper due tomorrow which i have yet to starrt. WooT! I think i am going to lay down for a little while. heh. I doubt i will, but i want to. adios. |

Today was odd...
I woke up at 2:30 this morning and have been awake ever since. I ran/walked 5 miles today. boring. I went to substance use and abuse, got my exam back... got a 100. I was so surprised. Was not expecting that one. I walked to 711 and bought a 'sparkling water beverage'. It is pretty good.
Other than that I made a ticker on daisy path.com. I guess ill put it here --->
yeah, im a dork, but whatev. I also made it into an html document so that i can put it on my desktop. I guess that makes me an even bigger dork.
I told Kim i would pick her up from class. Now that means i have to wait til 5:45 to go get her, drive her back to the apt, then i think i am going to head home. I figure if i go home tonight, i can go vote early in the morning then go back down to school for class and stuff. Yeah.. sounds better than driving home after my class to vote then having to come back on the same day. Not that i live so far away... i just have a ton of work to do. rawr. I hate skool. Kerry better win
you cant say nuclear, that really scares me
check that out, i thought it was pretty funny...
Well, I think i am going to get my laundry straightened out, and get ready to head on home. peace out... |

work was slow today, which made it seem never ending. But at least it was not too crazy busy. But then it all went down hill from there....
At 6:30 i punch out, get my paycheck, open it in my car and just start crying
uncontrollably
I get to my house in f-town and contain myself enough to walk into the house and run into my room. Yeah... that didnt work so well. I dont remember what my dad said to be, but i remember i jsut started crying, again, for no reason. Well, really not 'no reason' , but no reason that he knew. I ran up to my room to change out of my work clothes and into something else cos we were going out to dinner fo rmy moms birthday, and i could not stop crying in my room. I was hysterically crying i could not calm myself down. My cell phone rang in the middle of all this so i just let my voice mail pick up. i feel like i am going to freak out. While we were at dinner i had some drink taht was really strong. I think it was called a bellini?? maybe. It had rum and wine and sangria and some other alcohol in it. It was strong, and also i havent drank in forever. And i drank it on an empty stomach since i drank it before the food got to the table. I dunno. I needed that damn drink. I swear i was ready to freak out. RAWR =[ |

Monday- too far back to remember what i did. I had a class then wasted the night away in the student center doing research for the millions of papers and such that i had/have to do... autism, stress, meditation, substance use and abuse... All that good stuff
Tuesday- killer like woah. Had class then went to go pick my sisters up from school. Almost got into a car accident (not my fault) and i used my horn for the first time. Stupid high school kid passed me in a no passing zone... and as he was passing me just before he got infront of me he slowed down and i almost hit him. he then proceeded to do like 75 in a 45. no cops to catch him. damn. Then i went home (f-town) and figured i would work on my midterm paper that was due the next day for mind/body connection. As i was going to write it i saw i had the outdated APA book so i had to go buy a new one. $33.00 and an hour later, i was out of time to work on my paper, and i had to go to work. Work was okay. Tuesdays i work with the older kids. They are not as fun as the little kids. One of the older kids is really pervy and is always trying to touch me or feel my bra through the back of my shirt. I stay as far away from him as possible. He kinda freaks me out to be honest.
Wednesday- day of doom death and destruction. I had an exam that i think i did pretty well on, even though i hardly studied for. I handed in my term paper and did my presentation in mind body. That went decent enough. I hope i get an A on the paper. I highly doubt it. I didnt really try on the paper. I kinda didnt care while i was doing it. Too late now ... there is no sense in worrying about it now. Then i went out on an adventure to 711. I went to 3 different 711's in search of a Kerry coffee cup and no one had any. I was sad. But i guess that is a good thing. He is popular. I saw the video for 'mosh ' by eminem. That rules the world, even though eminem is not someone who i would listen to for the most part. too bad they cant play that song at the polling places. that would be hot
Thursday (today)- 2 classes. An exam in substance use and abuse. i think i got like an 80-something. The first 2 pages of the exam i am 99% sure i got all right. The last page owned me. boo. I actually studied for this one too. go figure. In child psych we watched a family therapy session on tape. It was so obviously scripted. It was funny. The entire family had on purple. lol. the boys name was gaylin, and he was having issues. IT was really odd. Work ruled the world tonight. We went to howell lanes. The lane i was on had the twins matthew and michael, and this other kid jake.. my 3 favey kids there. Then chris was the counsler that helped me on that lane. He is the only other normal person i work with. He has a 67 el camino that rules the world . I was talking to jake (age 4) in sign language. He was so cute. ive never seen him laugh so much. Matthew (age 5) must have eating buckets of amphetamines before he came cos he was so out of control. Michael (5 also, matthews twin) was his cute little self and he had a thomas the tank engine conductor hat on and was so adorable. The twins have these eyes that when they look at you ... you could just melt. They are so adorable and they were fighting over who was going to sit on my lap lol. I wish i could take them home and they cam be my little brothers. I <3 them. Oh yeah. I went to 711 by the bowling alley and finally got a kerry coffee cup. I doubled my cups up, so i had 2... and i washed them out when i got back to my apt!!!
Then i went home. Why do i go home? Do i not know that whenever i go home i feel like shooting my self after 5 minutes?? I walk in the door with the kerry coffee cup and my dad starts in with me. My parents are all for Bush and hate kerry. I wont get into that now. Its just gunna piss me off. So whatever. That blows over and my mom starts in about how horrible everything is at home. her trying to get me to go against my dad, etc etc. Then my mom starts to be all... now that i have a job i think i am going to try to establish credit on my own with out your father. blah blah blah. Then she goes upstairs and my dad starts in about my mom. Must my parents put me in the middle of every argument they have? I swear. i cant take it much longer. im going to snap... |

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America
And to the Republic for which it stands
One nation under God
Indivisible...
It feels so good to be back..
I scrutinize every word, memorize every line
I spit it once, refuel and re-energize and rewind
I give sight to the blind, my insight through the mind
I exercise my right to express when I feel it's time
It's just all in your mind, what you interpret it as
I say to fight, you take it as I'mma whip someone's ass
If you don't understand, don't even bother to ask
A father who has grown up with a fatherless past
Who has blown up now to rap phenomenon that has
Or at least shows no difficulty multi-task
And in juggling both perhaps mastered his craft
Slash entrepreneur who has held onto few more rap acts
Who's had a few obstacles thrown his way through the last half
Of his career typical manure moving past that
Mr. kisses ass crack, he's a class act
Rubber band man, yea he just snaps back
[Chorus:]
Come along follow me as I lead through the darkness
As I provide just enough spark that we need to proceed
Carry on, give me hope, give me strength
Come with me and I won't steer you wrong
Put your faith and your trust as I guide us through the fog
To the light at the end of the tunnel
We gonna fight, we gonna charge, we gonna stomp, we gonna march
Through the swamp, we gonna mosh through the marsh
Take us right through the doors (c'mon)
All the people up top on the side and the middle
Come together lets all bomb and swamp just a little
Just let it gradually build from the front to the back
All you can see is a sea of people some white and some black
Don't matter what color, all that matters we gathered together
To celebrate for the same cause don't matter the weather
If it rains let it rain, yea the wetter the better
They ain't gonna stop us they can't, we stronger now more than ever
They tell us no we say yea, they tell us stop we say go
Rebel with a rebel yell, raise hell we gonna let em know
Stomp, push, shove, mush, Fuck Bush, until they bring our troops home (c'mon)
[Chorus]
Imagine it pouring, it's raining down on us
Mosh pits outside the oval office
Someone's tryina tell us something,
Maybe this is god just sayin' we're responsible
For this monster, this coward,
That we have empowered
This is Bin Laden, look at his head noddin'
How could we allow something like this without pumping our fists
Now this is our final hour
Let me be the voice in your strength and your choice
Let me simplify the rhyme just to amplify the noise
Try to amplify the times it, and multiply by six...
Teen million people, Are equal at this high pitch
Maybe we can reach alqueda through my speech
Let the president answer a higher anarchy
Strap him with an Ak-47, let him go, fight his own war
Let him impress daddy that way
No more blood for oil, we got our own battles to fight on our own soil
No more psychological warfare, to trick us to thinking that we ain't loyal
If we don't serve our own country, we're patronizing a hero
Look in his eyes its all lies
The stars and stripes, they've been swiped, washed out and wiped
And replaced with his own face, Mosh now or die
If I get sniped tonight you know why,
Cause I told you to fight.
[Chorus]
And as we proceed,
To Mosh through this desert storm,
In these closing statements, if they should argue
Let us beg to differ
As we set aside our differences
And assemble our own army
To disarm this Weapon of Mass Destruction
That we call our President, for the present
And Mosh for the future of our next generation
To speak and be heard
Mr. President, Mr. Senator
Do you guy's hear us...hear us...[laughing] |
