February 18, 2004 | Primus "Scissor Man"
Today...I woke up, cleaned, organized, made my bed, did the dishes...only to discover that George couldn't come over...so I spent my day in my room playing with my boxes and read Things Fall Apart. BUT...here's what you'd be reading if the universe -weren't- poised against me...............
Today...was awesome. I woke up and the cleaned the house a little because George was coming over and I knew my mom would freak if I had someone over while the house looked like it had been spit forth from the bowels of hell. So, for the morning I cleaned (even did my bed, now that's special) then George arrived. We watched Sarah's Aqua Teen Hunger Force dvd, which was awesomeness, but all this pales in comparison to what was really great about today. I went to go get some Jello instant pudding mix, upon my return to my room I found George naked...that's right naked...smothered in peanut butter ...that magically appeared from somewhere. So...I did the logical thing. I sprinkled him in Jello instant pudding mix and licked that and the peanutbutter off of his naked, naked body. And kids, the rumors are true...he really does taste like a chocolate chip cookie. Then...George was all sticky from the peanutbutter so we took a shower and had CRAZY shower sex. Afterwards...we walked into my kitchen and found that it was FILLED with -cheese-cake. All the cheesecakes ever created. And I ate them -all-...and they were the kind of cheesecake that doesn't make you gain weight at all. Then...all the snow melted and it was magically spring time so we frolicked outside and Brendan and Sarah showed up so we all frolicked together (Jonny and Alyssa were watching stealthily from a bush). When the frolicking was over we all had grilled cheese sandwiches and talked about history and wars and we ALL AGREED about everything. It was good times. I'm gone.
Unfortunately...that's not what happened. (And Casie thinks I'm obsessed with sex...what is she -thinking-!?)
So...apparantly there are those who think I have premiscuous sex weekly and that ALL I do is sex it up each and every day. This is simply not true. For the record, the Chelstinator has not participated in sexual activity outside of her sick, odd and disturbing emo mind.

February 17, 2004 | HIM "Your Sweet Six Six Six"
Much to tell.
Went out today at around 10:30 am to the mall with my mom and sisters. I bought the following:
-corduroy jacket from PacSun (originally $80...marked down to $15!!)
-Stuey Family Guy shirt from Hot Topic that says "Stop mocking me"
-HIM cd
-wallet from the Japanese store
I am so proud of my bargain on that jacket. Okay, after the mall we went to the dentist to wait around for over an hour while my mom got a cleaning. Then lunch at Boston Market. When I got home BrenXcore asked me if George and I would go on a triple date thing tonight with Alyssa and Jonny and Sarah and him. So, I said yes without really knowing because George wasn't home. It was hectic making plans, eventually George got home and we made plans for my big sister to drive him and me to the theater. The movie we chose to see...Catch That Kid. Oh the hilarity! Oh the wit! I really got a kick out of that movie, it was a wonderful theatrical experience. Yeah that's basically it we just hung around and stuff. Brendan's BOB gave us a ride back to Sarah's and then my mom drove Alyssa home and then I was home. I just ate a hotpocket.

February 15, 2004 | The Darkness "I Believe In A Thing Called Love"
My enter key has been switching between working and not working all day, currently it's working, but who knows when it will die again. Today was horrible. Boring. Boring. Boring. Bad. Worse. Nothing to do. I did read two chapters in Things Fall Apart for English and I took notes, so that's good. But yeah badness.

February 14, 2004 | Beach Boys "Wouldn't It Be Nice"
Happy Valentine's Day children. So I should talk about mine?
Went to the movies at 2 with: George, Sarah, Alyssa, Brendan, Jonny, Dan and Justin. I left my bag in Sarah's mom's car so I didn't have any money, haha. Sarah had to buy my dinner/lunch. So, the movie was 50 First Dates and it was -surprisingly- awesome. After the movie we went to visit....THE GARRETT at Whole Foods, and then over to McDonalds...we had to cross the big scary street. After McDonalds the boys abandoned us (we're getting used to it by now) so Alyssa, Sarah and I were driven back over to Newbury by Dan and we hung out there until my dad came (on time) and Sarah's mom came...40 minutes late. My dad called George a goober and said I should throw him to the curb (because he left before me), but I have no intentions of doing so. What else?
Tomorrow the parents are going to Foxwoods so I don't think I'll be able to hang with Austin because I won't have a ride, but I could hang with Jess if she gives me a call. My mom bought me books for Valentines day! Death of a Salesman and Post Office! I'm excited! But I have to read my Kurt Vonnegut books first. Oh and George gave me a teddy and a ring. Alyssa gave me a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles valentine. And Sarah.....hmm. Anyway...I'm going to go read or something.

February 13, 2004 | Dead Poetic "Bliss Tearing Eyes"
So, there are two people who I could stand to talk to at this time. Neither of them are online. On top of that, the one person I can't stand in the recent path is iming me. If you ask who I'm talking about I probably won't tell you unless you're special. The point is, good people are gone and replaced with bad people. I'm feeling really lonely, so this entry may be bad, I can't see whether or not it will be.
Today was good. We did the Valentine's thing in school. Good times. Tomorrow is the movies. I don't know how that will turn out, but hopefully well. Although I'm pretty sure I know what certain outcomes will be. Yeah..

February 12, 2004 | Switchfoot "Meant to Live"
Yeah I know, Switchfoot, but this song has a lot of meaning to it if you listen. Let's see...what's going on?
Jess is moving in across the street from me tomorrow! Woo, the excitement! Also, tomorrow I won't be going out with everyone because I have to go have dinner with my dad. Saturday is Valentine's Day and I'm going to the movies with George, Brendan, Sarah, Jonny, Alyssa and maybe Bates though I heard he wasn't going. It should be great fun, we're going to see Big Fish. It will be my second viewing of it! Austin should be there but sadly he has to do family stuff. We'll try and get on without him. Sunday...I'm not sure what I'm doing and after that, yes it is February vacation, how frigging awesome. Hopefully it will be fun-filled.
Hmm...today was okay, break and lunch was fun. But I was in a bad mood all history class and then Mr. Connors flipped out at some poor soul and caused me even further emotional stress. Oh, and guess what next year the freshman are going to have three, yes -three-, lunches! Their second lunch will be with the 8th graders. That sucks for them, but it makes sense because we don't have a lot of room. Well...that's it. By people, much love.

So...obviously you know what I'm going to talk about. Legend Fest II. Good times (Alyssa).
Let me tell you about my day starting at 3 o'clock. Sarah picked me up, we went over her house and I found that her room is so awesome and I am -infinitely- jealous that I can't have a cool room because it has to be -shared- with my stupid sisters. Played Mario. George picked us up at around ...5? We went to the Johnsons' cottage and hung around for a time. Went uptown for a bit with Al and Jonny. Al, Jon, and George abandoned me, Alyssa and Sarah at the general store. Sarah and I tried to give them the cold shoulder but they didn't even notice, shows how much they care loi. Back at LF we went upstairs and listened to Murph Comedy Jam, always a treat. Murph was wearing a dress and women's underwear. We almost died on the ice outside going to and from the main house to get pizza. Then at some point, George, Sarah, Alyssa, Jonny, Jesse, Austin and I went over to subway and hung there for a few minutes before going back for Special Fred. Theeen it was over, we went back to Decoster's to watch Brendan's naked movie. After that most of the people went to Wendy's so me, Brendan, Alyssa, Sarah, Chris and Nick watched Finding Nemo, but my mom came early so Sarah, Alyssa and I had to leave at like 11:10.
That was my night. Fun and excitement. For the record. George is attractive.

February 6, 2004 | music: Foo Fighters "Everlong"
School was cancelled today for an almost embarrassingly small amount of snow. According to my sources though, they cancelled because it's supposed to get worse later. Mmmhmm. I haven't updated in a while, so I'll tell you what's up (Nipmuc).
Wednesday was fun. We got our report cards and I got a miraculous 86 in English. After school Sarah, Corbin, Jonny, Austin and I went over to Brendan's with him on his bus. That was good times, we watched CKY and King Pin and visited pigs. George came over too, a little later. I threw a phone book at Jonny's face. Good times, good times.
Then, let's see, yesterday was a half day. School was okay I suppose. In English we had a vocab quiz. Art, I got to continue work on my painting. French was bad as usual and geometry was bad for once because we had to actually do work. After school though I went over George's on his bus. That was fun, we hung out and I showed him and his friend, Alex, Big Bunny and muffin films. I also went to his orthodontist with him and it was sooo cool. They have all this free stuff. I got stickers, a pen and a pencil. Well...I think the stuff was free. They drove me home around 5 and George got to meet Dalicia. I had dinner and then it was off to driver's ed. Which was horrible because by then all I wanted to do was sleep. I got a ride home from Tom's dad and then stayed on AIM for a little bit before going to bed. How exciting life is.
Don't know what I'm going to do today. I was planning on staying in because Legend Fest is tomorrow and I don't want my mom to have to drive me around all weekend. Austin wanted to watch a movie or something though. So I don't know. I'm bored -right now- though, because no one is online. So someone come on!

February 4, 2004 | music: Something Corporate "Konstantine"
My gnome, Merle (named for the brother of GG Allin), died today. In Biology class, he was fatally wounded, and is currently residing in Austin's locker. We might bring him back to life. Today was pretty fun. I aced my biology test, played with magnetic poetry and had a all around swell day. And now, now I have free time. No homework tonight, so I'm going to read, for the first time in weeks, something that is NOT for school. I had to put the Bell Jar on hiatus because of all the work I had piled up for school, but that's over now so I can read, wee.
Still, despite the goodness of today. I am in a mediocre mood. I need a hug. I need a hug so bad that I'm listening to Konstantine, so you -KNOW- somethings up when the emo comes out. Also i wrote a stanza of a poem using the first line of a phrase I made with magnetic poetry and then finishing it. It is my mediocre mood:
She grows huge with tiny wants
Can't contest what the day flaunts
But between her mattress and the sheets
She will quake at the thoughts she meets
And to think that today was better than yesterday

January 31, 2004 | music: Ani DiFranco "Out of Range"
So...today, I'm not sure how I feel about today. It's...well I don't know. I'm disappointed because I was going to watch the Truman Show with Austin tonight but my mom wouldn't let me because I didn't help out today around the house. Most of the day I was in a pretty bad mood. I -did- get a lot of reading done from Flyboys so that's good, I have to finish it this weekend. Tomorrow is the superbowl, and the New England based team is playing so yes, I must give some "props" to my football playing homies. I won't watch it. I'll finish Flyboys instead. See kids, I've got good priorities. Anyways...
Last night was okay, watched GG Allin, good times, good times. I think if Brendan had been left to his own devices, and allowed to let his hormones take over -completely- he would have been chewing Sarah's hair. Getting it nice and spitty (Alyssa). Night!

Nope...that's pretty depressing. I can amazingly go from having a pretty -okay- day to being really down just in a matter of moments. I have to go see if I have homework.

January 28, 2004 | music: Moby "We are all make of stars"
Last year, you would not believe how many people gave me crap for listening to Moby. The man is a genius and also has the most witty and hilarious journal I've ever read, so he beats you at least.
We had a snowday today. It started out as a two hour delay but then...the school decided to turn it into a full fledged snow day. Good times. Except it wasn't good times at all. Most of the day was spent planning things out that are already causing conflict with friends. Sorry I can't elaborate but if you're as close to me as you think you are then you probably know something about it. Then I was all lonely for a while. I'm okay right now though. I've noticed that I'm really quite an optimist. Especially compared to George who is ANTI-BON JOVI APPARANTLY. So...I will leave you with this.
Shot through the heart and you're to blame. You give love a bad name. A classic.

January 27, 2004 | music: Poison the Well "Botchla"
Today was a really good day for me. I feel quite fulfilled. I'll tell you about it.
It started out well because I had time in the morning to shower and blow dry my hair. I felt confident going to school because I had my uber awesome "word to your mother" bag, and I didn't wear my jacket because I actually felt warm with all the layers of clothing I was wearing. I had French class first, which was a decent way to start the day, I got to play with the magnetic poetry in my locker and hang with Alyssa and Sarah for a few minutes before class. In French we played a review game and then did work, which sucked but it was okay because I got to sleep for five minutes at the end of class. Tom didn't go to school so he was missing in French, but I actually didn't miss him -too- much other than in French class. Break was fun...I'm trying to remember why. Hung with Sarah and Alyssa and George. Bio came next and that was, as always, a bonanza of fun. You can't have a class with Brendan -and- Austin and have it not be hilarious. We did a lab...ie- talked the whole class. And during the lab people got sent up to the nurse in groups to get weighed and measured and all that good stuff. "Are they building an Aryan race up there??"-AUSTIN COREY. Conversation was good with Brendan and Austin, went up to get measured, came back and -SURPRISE, SURPRISE- the conversation had turned to GG Allin, again. Again. Oh I remember what we did at break now, we gave valentines with half naked models on them to boys. I gave one to Chris, who -loved- it. Jonny and George got valentines too. Yeah it's a little early I know. In BIO I gave one to Austin and one to Brendan. They found his "happy trail" quite conversationally stimulating. After Bio...ART! WOOO. I got to work on my painting, it was fun, it was good...good times. After art at lunch I realized that I must have left the picture of my mom in the art room because I couldn't find it in my bag. George suggested that Brendan stole it. I fully support this hypothesis. Yes...hypothesis. Lunch was spent with Sarah and George. George who never sits down, ever, -ever-. It's okay George though, we like having your crotch in our face. We really, really do. Nick Brown randomly came to school, that was funny because he just walked into my art class. Brendan yelled my name and crawled over a lunch table to come see me. I felt socially accepted and warm inside...until he greeted me with a nice, "Can I have moneys?" He sure can spot a sucker. Loi, I will always give money if I have it to give. Probably shouldn't have said that. At lunch Brendan brought to my attention that he and Austin had gone through my stuff while I was up in the nurse's office during BIO and they left me notes in my wallet. Austins was one about fucking animals or something...-typical- he's such a beastist, the other two were Brendan's one said that I had to make Sarah make him a hat and the other said that him and Austin want her Rammstein hoodie. You -know- that I'll save those notes forever. I save everything like that. Brendan ended up leaving with his winterhat in Sarah's possession. But she thought herself not -cool- enough to wear it around so I wore it to history. History was okay, Mr.Connors was his usual bipolar self. He told me I was too wound up because I actually spoke twice in 15 minutes. I had a nice conversation with Garrett during that class. About how I'm sucking a motha fuckin' social butterfly. He wore my BUNNY (or "ghetto pooh" as some would say) hat. I showed him pictures from the semi and he took one of me to "hang on his wall". I don't know, but that's kind of unnerving. After history school was over, I gave Brendan his hat back, walked with Sarah and Alyssa to the buses (all three of us wearing our awesome hats) and went home.

January 26, 2004 | music: none!
I should have read some of Flyboys tonight. But instead I stayed online and talked, and then went to dinner with my dad, and then came back and talked some more. George actually did a pretty decent job of cheering me up tonight after bringing me to the very brink of suicide. Not really the brink. And not really suicide. But you know how it is.
Tomorrow...driver's ed...fuck. I was...going to use tomorrow to read...thinking I could slack tonight, but now I realize...driver's ed. You just witnessed what goes through my mind when I realize the stupid things I do. That's it people. That's it. I'm off to go to bed. But I'll leave you with some awesome quotes, cuz all my conversations today, were rich in hilarity.
I wonder if I can say a racial slur on geocities...I'll edit it just in case...

Yeah I'm writing. Made some minor changes to the site appearance. Hope you like it. I guess it's expected of me to talk about the semi. It was a good time. George was my date so I met his dad. He's a good dad, really corny but in a cool way. Him and my mom took many photos, here's one. The dance was cool we hung out with Tim Daniels and his date, Justine. So I discovered that they are both marvelous people! Hilariously awesome. I guess there was conflict amoung certain members of the social circle last night, which always sucks. BUT, I was not affected and had a cool time. We'll plan next time, Alex -wink-. Oh yeah the only bad part was that Garrett (no, not THE Garrett) should have gone so Alex could have had someone to dance the night away with.
Today is sunday, basically the only pressing matter for me right now is finishing Flyboys for history class. And I'm really not putting much importance on that assignment. If I just know the history I should be set. Anyway...yeah.....
cXw
PS- By the way, I'm kind of set in my ways with the cXw, I mean I'm not exactly against sexual things, so I'm not really fully sXe. What is your opinion? Should I get a new signature? Post in the guestbook or im me.
January 22, 2004 | music: Pretty Girls Make Graves "3 Away"
I'm sitting here with my headphones on shaking my head in a rhythmic manner and wearing Brendan's canadian hockey hat thing. In geometry we traded hats he took my bunny winter hat that Alyssa made for me and I got his cap. Don't worry Alyssa, I have every intention of getting my sven hat back. What else is new.
Today is the most socially accepting day I've had ever. I just had a really good day. I bought my ticket for the semi which I decided to go to last night...and it's tomorrow. I -always- do these sorts of things last minute. I'm getting my dress tonight, that's why I can't go out. Hmmm...
Yeah that's basically all that's going on except that my niece is coming over tonight! yay.

January 20, 2004 | music: Dead Poetic "August Winterman"
I stayed home from school today cuz I'm a loser. I was sick sunday and yesterday so I figured I'd need the day to do homework that I wasn't able to do while throwing up, but I guess I didn't have much work, because I spent the day online and sleeping. I hope I'm not forgetting some big assignment, although knowing my work ethic lately, I probably am. The only thing I have to work on is my art project...yeah I know grades closed last week but I have to turn it in late because of that gosh darn snowday we had. Ummm...yeah and I have to go to driver's ed tonight too. That's the only thing that's messing me up, my work could get done a lot more efficiently if I didn't have driver's ed. Anyway, I made a mix cd today:
Dead Poetic "August Winterman"
Dead Poetic "A Green Desire"
Dead Poetic "Tell Myself Goodbye"
Norfolk and Western "Impossible"
Pretty Girls Make Graves "3 Away"
Pretty Girls Make Graves "The Get Away"
Atom and his Package "I Am Downright Amazed At What I Can Destroy With Just A Hammer"
The Weakerthans "Aside"
The Weakerthans "Fallow"
The Decemberists "Grace Cathedral Hill"
The Decemberists "Shiny"
Stairwell "Boxcar"
Stairwell "Breathless"
Thursday "Understanding in a Car Crash"
Midtown "Get It Together"
The Beautiful Mistake "On Building"
Lawrence Arms "Porno and Snuff Films"
I'll make you a copy if you want one, and I find you to be a worthy enough person to use one of my few blank cds on. Yeah, this has been an excuse to not work on whatever it is I should be working on.

I just got two emails from actual people. I feel so popular. One was from my dad, which is always fun because I always have something new to tell him and the other was from George. Haha, commenting on how if you type in SweatPantsDOTcom in the google search engine you will find his livejournal. Try it out if you have no life. The sorry thing is, I had already tried that and known that you came up with his livejournal before the email.
I started driver's ed last night. I'm taking the class on tuesday's and thursdays from six to nine. It's kind of a burden but the instructor isn't too bad and the class is slightly enjoyable. Plus I have Tom and Alyssa with me.
I was going to stay after for art tomorrow and work on my painting but now I have to take a Biology midterm instead. Wonderful. Today was a half day and we had bio first. That was good. Well. Actually it wasn't. There was a traumatizing experience and if you want to hear about it im me. It's awful. Just awful. And no it doesn't have to do with Austin not being there, although that made it worse. Alright, I'll go.
-cXw
PS- I finished the Catcher in the Rye, you should really read it. I am amazed by it, it's really an awesome book and a great experience. So if you have the time and are interested I'd probably let you borrow it as long as you don't ruin it. I also started reading the Bell Jar, which my mom bought for me the other day because she said she thought I'd like it. I like things like that, it touched me. Anyway it's a great book and Sylvia Plath's life in itself was a really disturbing and enlightening story. Reading about Sylvia and also reading her book makes me really want to read some of her poetry. I want to pick up Ariel, which was a reknowned book of poems that she wrote. Anyway, I know I'm a geek but I like this sort of stuff.
January 12, 2004 | music: Brandnew "Sic Transit Gloria...Glory Fades"
I stayed home from school today. Take that Nipmuc. 2 Hour delay my ass. So this is the good thing about today, it's 9:45 AM and I already have all the homework done that I needed to work on today. That means I can read the Catcher in the Rye, take a bath and hang out on AIM. Good stuff, good stuff.
Last night I went to see Big Fish avec Austin. It was wicked awesome (LOOK! LOOK! I'm from New England!!). Tim Burton is a genius and this is the best movie...I've ever seen. You have to see it. You have to. There's no arguing about it, if you don't see this movie then you don't deserve to breathe the air. Not really...but you -should- see it. Also, Austin's mom and grandma are really nice. I'm going to issue a formal apology to my -own- mother here on my blog: Sorry I brought up the "raising the bar" comment. Apparantly my mom is tres annoyed with me because I brought up a comment she said about raising the bar with my friends last night when Mr. Corey picked me up. So let me just say, that she didn't -mean- it, she just jokes around like that. Seriously, no one should take anything she says seriously because in reality she loves all my friends. So, there. I feel bad now, because my mom is all blah. But oh well. She is really cool and nice. The End.

January 10, 2004 | music: the Ataris "You Need a Hug"
Saturday night, and I am home. By now I don't have the same positive outlook as last night. I did do -something- tonight though. I got my photos developed and bought clothes at the salvation army in Marborough. I bougth: a spider t-shirt thing, a "Jump for the Heart" american heart associaton t-shirt, a fish t-shirt, and a brown striped sweater. My film came out pretty well. I particularly like one image of my mother that came out really well. I'm trying to discern what she was pondering when it was taken. While I was there I got some prints from the pictures I had on my digital camera. They came out quite well also.
Haven't finished Catcher in the Rye, but I will by the time the sun sets on Monday. I read another sixty or so pages today. It's wraps you in and it doesn't let go until you've got a good chunk of the pages behind you.
Okay...if you read nothing else read this: Today I watched the 22 greatest cds of all time on MTV2. They had some really awesome cds, Radiohead "OK Computer", Pearl Jam "10", Nirvana "Nevermind" and guess what was the BEST cd of all time according to the genius' at MTV...Alanis Morrisett. I am so insulted by the fact that she was placed above the aforementioned artists that I won't even bother to see if I spelled her name correctly. WHAT THE FUCK WERE THEY THINKING? WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK? ALANIS DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IRONY IS AND SHE WROTE A FUCKING SONG ABOUT IT! Okay, I'm done.
Oh...by the way...MOLEST THE GARRETT

January 9, 2004 | music: the Smiths "Asleep"
It's friday night and I'm staying home. I don't feel much like going out tonight anyway because chances are I'll just end up surrounded by people who are more socially accepted than I. I'm glad I stayed home because otherwise I wouldn't have started reading the Catcher in the Rye, which I can already tell, 60 pages in, is my new favorite book. This book speaks to me, and I'm not saying that to sound like a corny remedial highschool liberal arts teacher. There's one part in the book where the protagonist, Holden, talks about how he likes to read books by authors who he feels he would like to talk to on the phone, and I think, after reading what I've read, that I could have quite a friendship with JD Salinger. If you know me, then you might know that I like to underline certain phrases that I come along while reading that I adore for some reason. So far my favorite of these phrases has been a particularly innocent and yet insigtful comment by Holden about his roommate and his approach toward women, one girl in particular. This girl, Holden mentions earlier, likes to keep all her kings acquired while playing checkers on the back row and not move them at all, because she likes the way it looks. When Holden's feelings turn to anger towards his roommate he says: "I told him he thought he could give the time to anybody he felt like. I told him he didn't even care if a girl kept all her kings in the back row or not..." I'm very glad I'm able to read this book and as soon as I finish it I'll reccomend it to all of you, I can't do that now...I feel if I haven't read it that reccomending it to someone else is like cheating.
Today I took some photographs in school, you can see them by clicking on the -new- "photos" button. If I were you, and I read someone's journal regularly in order to fill a void in my own social and emotional life, I would probably check them out. Blogs are interesting things. I know people who have them that don't seem to like people to know about their personal issues or feelings...and yet they write in a journal posted online for anyone to see. I myself like people to know what's going on with me. I mean, my friends that is, if they care enough to want to know how I feel, then they can ask me or read what I write in here. As for strangers who might stumble upon this (I have -NO- idea how they could...) I think the idea of someone reading about my thoughts and my life and getting to know me without actually knowing me is quite a stimulating idea, a decade ago they would be labelled a stalker, now they are labelled a teenager.
I started my new art project in school today, painting from a master's style. I chose Toulouse-Lautrec (spelling*). He painted images of girls in brothels and Moulin Rouge dancers. He also did posters for shows. So my plan is to take some pictures of my friends and paint them in his style which is paint mixed with a lot of charcoal and a very impressionistic look at details. And if I can't get pictures in time I'll do my playbill from Les Mis. As for the -other- art project, I am to finish it over the weekend so that I don't completely fail art. Lately I've been doing a lot of work with my pastels, I think they might be my choice media. You know, some artists have acrylics and oils, others are great with markers or pen and ink. I think my "thing" might be chalk and oil pastels and also charcoal. I want to get out, hopefully tomorrow and put that black and white film to use with my canon. I'll get it developed on a disk so you can enjoy the experimental photography goodness.
So how do I feel about life lately? Pretty good. I have a few people in mind who I want to force to read Catcher in the Rye when I'm finished, oh and if you think it's you, it's not. Unless it -is- you, in which case it is. School has been really stressful lately but after this coming week I should be set. Hey, there are some cds I really want. Sooo...if you're...at the record store, and thinking "What can I get Chelsea to make her love me...or at least get me oral sex?" well...you might want to take a look at these:
Fevers and Mirrors from Bright Eyes
Castaways and Cutouts from the Decemberists
Alright, seriously though...buy me one. I'm not joking. I'm not joking at all.
Rob 0 3 0 7 8 7: well im off
HeyKidEmoIsFun: have fun, you crazy kid
Rob 0 3 0 7 8 7: play it safe... only you can prevent forest fires

So, I've decided to update at long last and I hope I can exceed your expectations with this first of new entries. There really is a lot to say, I just get lazy sometimes.
Today was okay, I didn't have to work on my art project which was incredibly good because I hate cutting paper. I hung out with Jonny and George at break and lunch. George continues to evade my request of the "JFK sucks at living" t-shirt he promised me. Jonny brought his crazy mp3 speaker thing to school so we were listening to "Alden Daley Is Naked", that was a good time for all.
Lately Mr. Massey has been making us do actual work...that's discouraging, I've been having flashbacks of working for hours on algebra for Mr. Cochran. Mr. Connors is also kind of evil lately but that's only because he has no concept of time and organization. I had a "surprise" fifty question quiz today on Heart of Darkness...I was only 12 pages into reading the book. -Sigh- I also got my essay back, I got 12 out of 30 points...and that was a good grade compared to most of the rest of the class. Bio is the same as always, enjoyable. Randy was kind of pms-ish today, though, but that didn't take away from the excitement of learning Austin's boyband skill and the scarier afterthought that Brendan is the real boyband guru.
I'm really relaxed right now because I feel like I've gotten past the worst of the homework stress. I don't think I'm realizing that I still have to finish Heart of Darkness and write seven explications. Oh well, I won't ruin my good mood. Right now I'm probably going to ignore school and finish Ham On Rye, which I have to return to Jess tomorrow. Can't wait to get through school matters so I can start reading the books I got for xmas.
