if I weren't so sure I shall never be that old, own that lamp, or figure out how to knit so adeptly, I'd wish to be them.

I had a girl named Dana
From Aanta Anna
She was a waitres at the copa cabana
She was slammin and her ass was jammin
Like Janet Jackson in the Rhythm Nation
Her brother Jason had a girl named Grace
You could see her ass from outer space
So I landed on the planet
And planted a Mickey Av flag dammnit

I said, Six Kinds of Blue

I feel the incredible urge to scream and run till my legs collapse and my lungs burn.

You Only Ever Had Her When You Were a Fever


College apps make me pathetic and weak knee-ed.

It's a minor global economic crisis, but that doesn't mean i must go running around a'panicked and naked. Thus I compusively window shop (online). I tried to stick to basics, but that somwhat failed.

these are only the bare essentials. really.

1. sweaters are lovely



2. i'm a pathetic magpie...



3. tshirts are fun things. I'm often too lazy to find pajamas and simply fall asleep in that day's. No worries though-- i wash them routinely (guess that explains why each only lasts three weeks, tops)




cute how there's absolutely no pattern to the madness. Anyone tryna lend me their nice shiny plastic credit card? I'll trade you some old copies of Foreign Affairs and a nicely annotated edition of Love in the Time of Cholera
All Quiet on the Western Front is the most beautiful book I have ever, and believe will ever, read.

HOW DID YOU FIND THIS THING?

MGMT is pure sex.

I'm feeling rough, I'm feeling raw, I'm in the prime of my life.
Let's make some music, make some money, find some models for wives.
I'll move to Paris, shoot some heroin, and fuck with the stars.
You man the island and the cocaine and the elegant cars.
This is our decision, to live fast and die young.
We've got the vision, now let's have some fun.
Yeah, it's overwhelming, but what else can we do.Get jobs in offices, and wake up for the morning commute.

Forget about our mothers and our friends
We're fated to pretendTo pretend
We're fated to pretendTo pretend

I'll miss the playgrounds and the animals and digging up worms
I'll miss the comfort of my mother and the weight of the worldI'll miss my sister, miss my father, miss my dog and my home
Yeah, I'll miss the boredom and the freedom and the time spent alone.
There's really nothing, nothing we can do
Love must be forgotten, life can always start up anew.
The models will have children, we'll get a divorceWe'll find some more models, everything must run it's course.

We'll choke on our vomit and that will be the end
We were fated to pretendTo pretend
We're fated to pretend
To pretend
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeahYeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah


this song is fingerless gloves, sequins, and smoke.  

Get Jobs and Offices and Wake Up for the Morning Commute

I'm very much loosing my mind.  
epiphytes is a nice word.  this was not meant as a carefully placed example of a my slowly (rapidly?) eroding mental capabilities, but rather a commentary on the wonders of the english language.  I can barely speak it, I lack basic understandings of its structure, but I adore it.  Especially commas.  


Everyone has suddenly felt the need to tell me that "I need a boy."  Its always the same phrasing.  And yes, I am aware I do.  But i tend to fluctuate between absolute adoration and despair, since it is hardly ever mutual.  Yet, when it is, I'm incapable of processing the emotion.  I flip from wild excitement, with pounding beats and an inability to control my facial expressions, to one of mad disappointment.  It cannot be right, i must be misinformed, i must be a backup, they must be wrong, confused, mad.  I'm used to the disappointment, and I lock up.

Isn't that pathetic?  I'm seventeen, and haven't had a boyfriend, and still, still, i'm becoming an old maid.  I don't want to, i love boys and their idiotic ways and their desperate desire for acceptance and yet.....
I'm unsure.  At the risk of sounding egotistical and pretentious, I thought I was fucking pretty for christsake.  but I must not be.  I must be wrong.   
and suddenly this has transformed into another way that I fail, continually. I won't get into college.  why the fuck would brown accept me? its nine percent! NINE.  there are children with cures to river blindness and bizarre fetishizations of starving children in need of salvation, or the never ending drive to revamp their multibillion dollar, international company.

I got a 64% on my last bio quiz.  I do not understand how.  I used to get straight As in science.  I checked my physics and chem exams, and not one is below a 96.  

This is why i obsess-- there has to be one thing, somewhere, that i can be good at.  something that makes it ok that there isn't really someone who looks forward to seeing me the next day. I have friends, yes, and wonderful ones at that.  But I long for that one person who texts me randomly because a grafitti reminded them of me, or who hears something funny or angering and has to tell me.    I don't expect it to last,but even the heartbreak would be better than this.  


ugh emoemoemoemo i loathe myself for it.  perhaps i'll simply press delete.   


Wont you please let me go
These words lie inside they hurt me so
And Im not the kind that likes to tell you
Just what I want to do
Im not the kind that needs to tell you
Just what you want me to

I saw you this morning
I thought that you might like to know
I received your message
And in a few days ago
I understood every word that it said
And now that Ive actually heard it
Youre going to regret

And Im not the kind that likes to tell you
Just what you want me to
Youre not the kind that needs to tell me
About the birds and the bees

Do you find this happens all the time
Crucial point one day becomes a crime
And Im not the kind that likes to tell you
Just what I want to do
Im not the kind that needs to tell you
Ive lost you, Ive lost you, i've lost you

does anyone even read this?
