GO BACK

8-31-03
MARILYN: 4:26pm. I worked at Vons for a few hours. woo. and i got a new computer the other day, it is a big old desktop dealie but it makes me happy and that is all that matters. so yeah. i guess i ought do work, but instead i'm going to royal thai with babs and kirstis. woo woo. yeah. nothing interesting or relevent has happened in a while. i left my school stuff at, you guessed it, school, so i have to go there and get all my homework for the weekend. thats what we're doing as a sidenote to the dinner that will be fab. woo. i suppose i'll go, since i have little to say or do. oh yeah. my jay jay in LV which is sad, but he will be home tomorrow so i will live, maybe. ahhhh. later ya'll.

8-26-03
MARILYN: 12:00am. the first day of school. nuff said, most of the time. but this time, god i'm exhasted. all my classes worked out so i don't travel very far between them, which is good, but between being all stressed out (don't even bohter asking) and then going to work, i'm just pooped. plus i started my homework more or less when i got home, and just finished in half an hour ago. the i showered, cause those are my priorities right now, school and bathing. i thought they were good ones. mostly my classes seem like they'll be ok. i can really complain. except for ballroom dancing, which as it turns out is not for UN (university of nowhere, cause you don't know where we live...) credits, so i'm bummed out and i'm gonna have to either drop something or take 7 classes next semester too. oh well. the 7 don't seem aweful though, partially because i don't have any labs to worry about. i'd rather have 8 academic classes and no labs than 6 classes with a lab. its just too much to think about, plus two hours is way more thani want to see of just one teacher. i only have one Ap this year. i feel inadequate, but life might go on. kirst and babs and everybody have like 12. don't even ask. oh well. i'll just go on being sad miserable at everything me. i'm ready for summer again, what about you?

8-25-03
KIRSTEN: 11:53 AM. Well I'm back again. Day before school starts, isn't that great. I got 2 hours of sleep last night. babs and i had our elementary school reunion and everyone was super cool, much to our surprise. We had some unresolved issues that got resolved and it was so freakin cool. WE hung out for like hours when we didn't really even want to go. I can drive people now so i drove babs. WE saw panseed 4 times, once while we were dancing in the car to our christian rap and other equally weird stuff. So then i had like ten sodas, with 2 straws each at dinner. That was a little much caffeine so babs and i talked till 3 and then i was still awake till 5. I'm not tired, which means it'll kick in right during the middle of the first day of school. I'll probably fall asleep in snaps class or something. WE freakin finally made it to senior year, we made it through the "hormonal years" or whatever. we're done with adolescence officially but i went through puberty again last night, don't ask. So this morning i went to bible study at the coolest coffee shop in the world. ask me and i'll tell u where to go. If anyone reads this, i send you all blessings for school. byebye.

MARILYN: 7:43pm. Well hello there. Its me, Marilyn. The girl who used to post here once in a while. I'm back. From my safari through a supermarket and college. I still have a 4.0 GPA in college!! Yay!! And the classes in college this year actually required my studying a mild amount for some of the tests. So I feel as though I have accomplished something. Geez I'm cool. So I guess thats mstly what I have. Less than a week till school. I'm excited, in a dreadful kind of way, you see? I didn't think so. I'll be talking to you all later. No rants, I'm too burnt out. Two finals, one day. ICK! Night night, zzzz...

8-15-03
MARILYN: 11:36pm. I worked all day. well, not even all day. for like a few hours. and i hate it. their all so dumb. when ever i wanna do stuff, i can't, cause i work almost full time. its totally retarded. i'm definately quitting for school. i think they'll be mad, but oh well. i'm tired, and i get to work early tomorrow. this is lame. only like a week of summer left and i have to wrok for almost all of it. LAME.
KIRSTEN: 3:45 PM. Ya bowling. And i gave up caring about guys till i'm 18 cause dating is for marriage and marriage is for later in my opinion and senior year will be awesome. Today i had my physical and my mom was concerned with my fat percentage, haha. The doctor said i was ok. I have a cold though and my mom has pink eye and i met a really nice seventh grader for ice cream cause my mom signed me up for some ambassador program. Hehe. Well that's about my life until school starts. I CAN DRIVE PEOPLE TUESDAY!!! Anyone who wants to go do something call me and I'll drive u!! byebye.

8-14-03
MARILYN: 11:49pm. Some one is taking journalism that should not. and someone else had mean things to say but wouldn't just say them. so we decided to go bowling!! and since then, nothing has happened.

8-12-03
MARILYN: 9:59pm. It would be easy enough to say that my day has been made because our precious kirsten is finally home!! but there could be more. I'm not sure what kirst whats me to be careful with. if its boys, i'm sure she'll approve whats going down right now. if it was something else, well i'm totally in the dark. oh, Kirst, you forgot about name changes for about half of that... so maybe go back and check. anyways, work is fine. I got paid for the first time last friday. and i wonder how people manage to live off something like that. well, most people there are full time, and i'm only part time, but even if you doubled what i made (which would involve super amounts of overtime) thats not enough for rent, food, gas, car payments, etc. i now know i will be attending college to its completion in order to get a job that pays enough to live! Eh, thats about all i had. WELCOME HOME KIRST!!!
KIRSTEN: 10:45 AM. I'm back! I know ur all excited. Marilyn did u get ur present? I went to Hawaii and me and my dad befriended some turtles (they're his only friends now) and rode a bike down a volcano (with a hot tour guide) and got my class ring and other jewelry stolen off the beach and saw lots of pretty fish snorkeling and got a little bit tanner. Then we flew all night and 3 hours after we got back i was at rinz's church waiting to go to camp for 5th and 6th graders to be a counselor. That was probably the best week of my life. I wasn't tired, it was a miracle. They were all so cute and fought over sitting next to me and lindsey. They did my nails and my hair and they all recommited themselves to Christ in my tent. It was so cool that people trusted me with kids, i was the second youngest one there. We're gonna have a reunion. They have awesome shakes there and all the counselors snuck out in the middle of the night for them on the last night. One of my girls had to pee and the guy was like "hey u want ur shake!!" haha. She was all excited she got to keep my secret. So then on to my own YL camp. Me and one guy from our school. It kinda sucked cause i knew noone for like 2 days. Then i made an awesome friend, sandrea and we hung out all the time, then we made another awesome friend platie who plays all the same sports as me and is from up by frisco. I kinda agree that girls suck marilyn. Guys are so much more easygoing and friendly, they're willing to be nice without considering if ur cool enough for their crowd or whatever. So made friends with the other guy from school and an extremely flirty guy named tanny. Then fri night (decision night) I left when they had time for recommitment and coming to Christ but then I had to go back, like God told me to (i kid u not) and i did recommit myself and i started crying about my family and i realized how its not all their fault and i really do love them, esp my baby bro and our little group prayed for them. That night there was this adorable guy playing jenga alone and platie dared me to go rock his world. I said i would if she would. We went over and we did everything u possibly can with jenga blocks, no don't take it like that. He was kinda dorky and reminded me of my dad (loner, i think they even have the same shirt, a little socially impared). His name was Blobert and he's from somewhat south of the humongous city north of us. He took a picture of us cause the flash like blinded people. The next morning we had a walk to like teach us about being a christian. It actually tought me stuff like even when nothing feels special, after you accept his gift, God's still with you and even if you don't feel it, you are forgiven. I learned so much and stretched myself so much in the last 2 weeks, way more than i ever learn in school. Summer is for learning, school is for stress and testing what you learned. I grabbed the bar when i jumped off the ropes course, i wasn't even scared and ropes courses usually scare the crap out of me. And i finally realized why the heck should i give a flying rats behind if people look at me funny when i'm worshipping, or whatever i'm doing if i know its right. i don't. ON the walk We threw a rock in the lake for our sin being gone. We made a cross out of sticks, its now above my bed. We needed a partner for the last part of the walk and blobert showed up, he just gave his life to christ. We prayed and said what we hoped for. I prayed for all you guys and my brother, and hoped for u too. I tried to get tanny back for capsizing my boat a few days before and got thrown in the pool in my clothes. Then completely drenched again when i was almost dry. I hung out with blobert by the pool, and platie. We chilled and talked. Everyone was a sophmore. Sandrea was the only other senior. When we were leaving i gave slatie and blobert hugs and this girl pinzy we met. I gave them my IM. Blobert wrote it in the book they hand out. my mom sent me a package at camp!! She sent me sugar cookies!! i was so excited! i made her promise to cause i'd never gotten mail at camp before! I was running around telling people i didn't even know that i got a package. Now that my family realizes i'll be gone in a year and that they actually miss me when i'm gone they're all nice to me. I have power in this family now. Now that I recommited myself i commited myself to not being selfish so we got along pretty well. Selfishness is what makes a family dysfunctional, someone must be unselfish. My parents anniversary was yesterday, my mom was complaining about dad all day and how he never kisses her. I said "at least you know its not just a physical relationship" and she cracked up for like twenty minutes while me and bro kinda sat in awe. She forgot it was their anniversary for the second year in a row. She said "we might not be married next year" What the heck? Neither one got the other presents. I tried to convince both of them to get the other one a love fern. haha. I gave my bro a little hug/choke from behind while he was on the computer. He really is adorable. we went school supply shopping while the rents went out on their anniversary date. At camp I bought a sweatshirt and a cd for the supposedly famous guy who was playing the music at camp and he wrote me a note on it and signed it and told me nashville isn't just country, he was awesome. I got a bumper sticker too. My car now has 4 bumper stickers, hang out with me and u can see them. I missed u all and love u all. tell me if something at all is going on anytime soon. tonight we have a little YL from our school camp reunion. I've been super excited about it. WEll see ya soon, maybe at school if not sooner. Marilyn be careful. I was telling my riends at camp how i was worried about u and babs while i was gone. I hope work's ok. I redid my room yesterday, i feel like i have space to breath and be me now. My boss at the thrift store randomly quit one day while i was gone so i left after 2 hours yesterday instead of 4 cause it wasn't fun without her. Then i realized that was selfish and tomorrow i'll go for 4. ok bye.

8-11-03
MARILYN: 11:44pm. not much has happened that i wish to divulge. or for that matter rant about. er, no, wait. I have one thing. oh yay. My mother. is a bitch, and i hate her. and i don't mind when others mother me, becuase i've pushed her away. and i hate her. she can't even just yell at me for one thing at a time, shes all like the cell phone bill id too big, plus you're failing everything, plus your room is dirty, and your a terrible daughter. i just wanna scream FOCUS!! i mean seriously, get it together and yell at me for just one thing at one time. God i hate her. grrrrrrrrrrr. ok, i know its a sad rant, but i hate her.

8-9-03
MARILYN: 4:33pm. I'm on Break again. I went bowling with babs again, but this time mommy found out i was out late. she didn't know where i was thou, which is a very good thing. i didn't get any sleep, so i'm in a very foul mood. Babs broke 100 again, or i guess more accurately hit 100 but whatever. The guys in the lane next to us were named Moses and Abe. They went on and off from being dumb to mildly hot (abe, not moses, he was bald). The "rock and roll music" that they played was ok. i mean they play remis to ignition, so we danced. it seemed like not alot of people were dancing though. kinda sad. i dinced alot. and bowled poorly. my hand hurts from that dumb ball "sparky" but its ok cause i love him. I saw finding nemo again. and i enjoyed it again. but my break is almost up, so i'm going to go b/p. later.

8-7-03
MARILYN: 1:49pm. I'm on break from work. its super fun. i just wanted to say that bowling is the bomb, and we're gonna have a bowling team soon, just so you know. Cuase BABS BROKE 100!!! yay!!! and i got a whole bunch of spares in a row. cause i'm cool no doubt. and this girl i've been upset with we pretended was the pins so how could i miss? i loveo bowling!! and my employer becuase thats how i make money to bowl with!! yay!! i'm in such a good mood, eventhough a lot of junk has happened that would totally make it ok for me to be upset. anyways, i'm gonna go, love you all, some more than others, and adios.
MARILYN: 3:05am. its kinda "late" i guess, but whatever. Today is my bro's b-day. but that is not the point. Today i would like to rant at you. i've recieved a critique from one of out 3 loyal readers, and it said i should rant more. well i've been saving up for this one i guess. Girls Suck. and not in a good way either. they are mean, they are stupid, and they just don't get is ( i guess a continuation of stupid). Girls assume that once they have known you for some length of time they are your friend, or even worse, someone who has been there with you through good times and bad. well thats just not true. any person who thinks that being in the same clique at school for three years oughta make you the best of buddies can just stop reading right here. After these stupid girls have decided that you are their friend, they then proceed to tell people this. Or, in some cases, tell people about what good friends you were at one point, and how its all gone down hill from there. And the worst part of that, is that then they choose to bash your current friends, who are actually nice to you and you love dearly. but they have all these misconceptions becuase of the playful way in which you act. well screw off, you can't tell me who my friends are if you aren't even one of them. but back to the mean thing. girls are mean. they are dumpers of millions of sweet boys every year, boys who are very very nice to them and deserve only the best, not what girls give them. well yeah. i may have had another point, but mostly just girls suck and i think guys would be better off dating other guys. i went bowling this evening. it was great fun. we knocked the pins over!! and babs broke 100!! we did really well, for us anyways, and had a blast. I love bowling. and hate girls... and don't you forget it!

8-5-03
MARILYN: 12:57am. I guess its tomorrow, but this is about the 5th so thats the date i'm going to put on it. And right now, I am the sole propriator (kirsten and ehr leave of absense) so you can't agrue with me. So there. I didn't get to see Jay. That was lame. But i did get to work from noon to 9. and goto a bonfire with Brent and some of his friends. They are all pretty cool. and paste eaters, but i guess i can't discriminate anymore, not that i'm eating paste or what have you, but more that everyone has a thing, whether its eating paste or being a fuck up. hehe, i'm yelling at a freshie. later.

8-4-03
MARILYN: 9:40pm. I had school, but no work, today. Tomorrow I have work from noon till 9. thats ok, at least i can sleep in. today i went up to jay's house. i had a good time, and hope he did too. i missed him at school. the geology man was talking about earthquakes, and decided to abbreviate tham EQ, and i missed him more. Like everquest. so cute. I still haven't talked to jay since i left his house arund noonish. thats ok. maybe before i go to bed... night...

8-3-03
MARILYN: 1:23pm. I'm on my lunch break. As I walked in the door, I discovered something horrible. Maude, the fair fish, has died. May she rest in peace. The month and a half we had with her was among our best. We'll miss you Maude... she leaves behind Gidget, her counterpart though her short life.

8-2-03
MARILYN: 11:27pm. I'm tired. I'm grumpy. and i don't really want to type this. but some little voice saying that someone might care is making me. dammit. i didn't go to the dumb party, cause they ended up just going to the beach and getting trashed in several different "dimensions", if you will. i tried to get something to eat when i got home, and spilled it all over my carpet. my bed has too much shit on it to sleep there. so i'm on the dumb couch again. and i have work again tomorrow morning at 8:30!! its hard being me... just thought i'd let you know. anything else to talk about on a website any freak with a library card can access? nope.
MARILYN: 330pm. late for work, just checkin in, more when i get home, b4 the party at braughts. wish jay would come. see, thats three, happy now?

8-1-03
MARILYN: 9:29am. christ i'm tired from my first day of wrok, yesterday. but i have to go again in like a few minutes. sad. from 10:15 till 7:15 today. thats a LOOONG time. its aweful standing for so many hours at a time. and yester day i was an idiot and did take my break cause i didn't know about it. and that was only a 5 and a half hour day. i hope i don't die... oh well, maybe i'll have nicer legs for when school starts. one can only hope. tonight i believe i'm doing something, but i am unsure what. so we'll see how that turns out. i need to learn to tie a tie without taking half an hour. then i could sleep in later. grrr. i'm a girl. why must i wear a tie?? its a dumb rule. oh well. at least i don't have to wear an utterly useless belt. i mean thats what hips are for right? to keep your pants up? anyways, i'm tired, grumpy and stupid so i guess i have to go shower and eat. even if i don't have a good day i hope you do. later...
