You've Got To Be Kidding Me!!
Posted Mar 17, 2005
***set scene***
I'm laying in bed, half asleep, it's midnight...
*phone rings*
*caller ID says it's (one of) My Best Friend(s)*
Me: *mumble* hello...
MBF: Hey!
Me: *slurring* ..sup?
MBF: I need to talk to you about something really important
*I sit straight up in bed and blink a lot*
Me: Okay. I'm awake.
MBF: Well... this is hard to say...
Me: Okay...
*long long pause*
MBF: Well... I think I'm in love with you...
Me: You... huh? What?
MBF: Well, yeah... I mean... you're... well, you, and you're great and...
Me: I gotta go to sleep. Bye.
*I hang up on her*

Sometimes I Just Can't Explain...
Posted Mar 14, 2005
Well, I seem to still be here on hootoo for the moment... 
Posted this on LJ, but lotsa people can't read that... so I direct them here...
~independence day~
ani difranco
we drove the car to the top of the parking ramp
on the 4th of july
we sat out on the hood with a couple of warm beers and watched the fireworks
explode in the sky
and there was an exodus of birds from the trees
but they didnt know, we were only pretending
and the people all looked up and looked pleased
and the birds flew around like the whole world was ending
and i don't think war is noble
and i don't like to think that love is like war
but i got a big hot cherry bomb, and i want to slip it through the mail slot
of your front door
you can't leave me here
i've got your back now
you'd better have mine
cause you say the coast is clear
but you say that all the time
so many sheep i quit counting
sleepless and embarrassed about the way that i feel
trying to make mole hills out of mountains
building base camp at the bottom of a really big deal
and did i tell you how i stopped eating?
when you stopped calling me
and i was cramped up sh***ing rivers for weeks
and pretending that i was finally free
and you can't leave me here
now that your back
you'd better stay this time
cause you say the coast is clear
but you say that all the time
we drove the car to the top of the parking ramp,
on the 4th of july
and i planted my dusty boots on the bumper and sat out on the hood,
and looked up at the sky
~asking too much~
ani difranco
i want somebody who sees the pointlessness
and still keeps their purpose in mind
i want somebody who has a tortured soul
some of the time
i want somebody who will either put out for me
or put me out of misery
or maybe just put it all to words
and make me go, you know
i never heard it put that way
make me say, what did you just say?
i want somebody who can hold my interest
hold it and never let it go
someone who can flatten me with a kiss
that hits like a fist
or a sentence, that stops me like a brick wall
if you hear me talking
listen to what i'm not saying
if you hear me playing guitar
listen to what i'm not playing
and don't ask me to put words
to all the silences i wrote
don't ask me to put words
to all the spaces between notes
in fact if you have to ask, forget it
do and you'll regret it
i'm tired of being the interesting one
i'm tired of having fun for two
just lay yourself on the line
and i might lay myself down by you
but don't sit behind your eyes
and wait for me to surprise you
i want somebody who can make me
scream until it's funny
give me a run for my money
i want someone who can
twist me up in knots
tell me, for the woman who has everything
what have you got?
i want someone who's not afraid of me
or anyone else
in other words i want someone
who's not afraid of themself
do you think i'm asking too much?

Movin' Out
Posted Mar 11, 2005
I'm Movin' Out. And not in the cool musical kind of way. In the my stepdad hates me and my mom's a bit selfish kinda way.
I think I'll have to drop out of my classes this semester. I have to decide today though - it's the deadline for withdrawing without a failing grade...
I might not be around here on hootoo as much... I'll know more when I know more about the moving thing... I think I have somewhere to go. Found a girl who needs a roommate, so it could work out perfectly...

A Rose By Any Other Name...
Posted Mar 3, 2005
I finally understand the Tony Curtis thing!! *whew*
In other news, Girl Scout cookies came today. Yay for the Girl Scouts! (Cookies made with 100% real American-made Girl Scouts...)
I'm sitting at work listening to some radio man (somebody ultra-conservative who is not Limbaugh but may as well be) because one of my coworkers has it on and I can't ask her to turn it off because that would mark me as not in her political ball court and thus "the enemy." But it makes my head hurt...
I could be updating my LJ, but I'm here on hootoo and why leave when you're comfy at home? *kicks back, puts feet on table*
*quickly realizes she can't type with feet*
*puts feet back on floor*
I have a math test tonight. I finally understand it all because I actually studied last night. It was good.
My new tattoo itches.

SIAD
Posted Feb 28, 2005
March 1st is Self Injury Awareness Day.
SIAD is a global awareness day, but it is not supported by any nations' governments, because it is a grassroots idea. Somehow, in the mists of time, the date was set as the 1st of March, and organisations around the world make extra efforts to raise awareness for SIAD.
The colour for some reason is orange. Some people wear an orange ribbon, but in the past SIAD bracelets have been worn:
Plain Orange - Self Harm (Awareness) or if you Self Harm
Orange with 1 white - Trying to stop Self Harm
Orange and White - Recovered Self Harmer
White - You never Self Harmed but you understand
Yellow and Orange - Suicidal and Self Harm
Blue and Red - Depression/Mental Illness and Eating Disorders
(I hate orange... but I'll be wearing orange, white, blue, and red...)
