July - August 1998
|
August 21, 1998: guess who is single again?? you've got it! yes, the grey haired son of an english teacher dumped me as of monday. i've been crying every day since then, but we actually talked face to face tonight, and i think i'll be ok. we even talked and joked about everyday type of stuff for the last 15 min or so. i feel like i could be friends with him again, although it might be odd at first. August 11, 1998: well, i thought maybe i should update this damn thing. i returned from spending over 24 hours at House. fun, but not too popular with my parents, but they were pretty ok with it. i have some HUGE blisters from walking from House to the intersection of hennipen and central to catch the fucking bus which took me to northtown. there i went to visit laura at work, and ended up helping work myself. well, at least my mother didn't go on about the whole "you're not going to get pregnant" thing again. she was pretty decent. we talked for a while. it always seems to be that i do not-so acceptable things at the same time as my sister, thus making my mother in a really bad mood, but easily diffused by making a joint bitch session about my sister. i've decided that i dont' really want to go back to school. i am not happy at home. rules. can't be myself. and there are no rules at school, but i still can't be myself. most eau claire people are kinda closed minded. grr. July 7, 1998: ok, i am not going to follow the trend of keeping news on my page, but i think random ramblings are much more my style. i am sitting at my 'puter tonight listening to my recently purchaised copy of "Abbey Road" by the Beatles. it makes me happy. especially songs like "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" and "Oh! Darling" and such. i am just in a cheery mood today. did reletively nothing today. talked to laura tonight though to share our weekend stories. we both had great weekends. our weekends actually started together with going to la casita for dinner with our boyfriends and pam and chad in tow, and then going to cheapo which was nearby, where i purchaised "Abbey Road" "The Door's Greatest Hits," and "Ani Difranco" all of which make me happy. then we went to the National Sports Center to see the fireworks. that is the point at which we split up, because they were wimps and couldnt stand the bugs. it was amusing before they left to watch the guys running in circles saying "i hate bugs" which almost had me rolling on the ground. me and laura got glowing thingys which when used as fencing foils can leave red marks on the arm for over a day...not that i would know from personal experience either. those things also make great pool toys, especially when the motion sensing lights go out. oh, damn, this is turning into a news report. "bang bang, maxwell's silver hammer came down on her head, bang bang maxwell's silver hammer made sure that she was dead." that song just amuses me, since it is this cheery, totally incongruous song about a killer. incongruous. haven't thought about that word since music therapy class. fyi, it means music where the tone of the music and the emotions of the lyrics totally don't agree. usually happy music with sad lyrics. usually don't like that kind of music, but this song is just goofy enough to make me smile. grrr....geocities isn't loading so i can actually add this, so i am just writing on the notepad. grrrrrrrrrrr. hehe, i get to work at the mall of america tomorrow. that is going to be cool. and afterwards we can go shopping. go to hot topic...YAY!!! that makes me happy too. and i found out that rob is going to be there. he is a cool guy, even if he doesn't like ren fest. i am going to try and convince pam to go to House afterwards, which will make the day all the better, and then i can see matt. that makes me very happy. it is kinda strange to have a boyfriend for once. and a really great one at that. oh, and another happy thing. i saw Ali Mcbeal tonight, and it was the one with the nude male model who is well endowed, which is really funny, and i hadn't seen that one before. and it had the dancing baby. something strange. this weekend, i lied to my parents about what actually was going on, and i didn't feel guilty. well, a little because my parents worried about me, because i didn't tell them i was spending the night at pam's beforehand. but about lying, i didn't feel guilty at all for what i was doing or that i lied to them so i could do what i was doing without any grief from them. for one thing, i was just letting myself have the basic human comforts that the rest of my family is allowed on a near daily basis. and i had fun. i shouldn't regret it, and for once, i don't at all. the feeling of having another person holding you when you go to sleep, and being there when you wake up, is a great feeling. yay, i finally got into geo-cities. as you probably figured. ooh, its midnight. probably should stop rambling and get to bed since we have to leave really fucking early for work in the morning. |
