ruckus. you need to happen. now 

congradulations FEMA. You coated your insuffiant amount of trailers with formaldahyde, poisoning the few people you decided to help.
bravo.

So my computer died yesturday and while I was waiting for it to turn back on, my brain decided it would be a cool idea if I would stand on my chair. I figured that my brain is pretty smart and usually has good ideas, so I got up and stood on my chair.
Suddenly I got really dizzy. I heard a crash and next thing I knew I woke up on the floor. I don't remember falling and I was pretty disorientated so I passed out.
The really cool thing is I totally had an out of body experiance. I could see myself unconsious on the floor in the exact place that I was and it was pretty cool.

I am in love with New Orleans

New Orleans countdown: 6 days
no news from the organization we'll be staying with as to wheather or not they'll pick us up from the airport or if we have a place to stay
I'm starting to get really nervous about it.

PS. does anyone know where to get tyvek suits? we're going to need one per day so I'm really hoping they come in a multipack like trashbags.

AHHHHHHHH

Current Mood: listless

my life is covered in cardboard dust.
Heather and I are making a bajillion stencils for tee-shirts.
it's wicked awesome, I made my first one yesturday and it's pretty sweet.


and it's an addictive distraction from my three end of semester projecets.
yup, three. and they're huge.

so yah.

Current Mood: creative

I drank coffee when I wasn't supposed to and my body's not handeling it well

I just got back from one of the most amazing experiances of my life.
We had a fieldtrip for Peoples of the Middle East to interfaith night at a mosque in West Springfield.
It was like an adult con. I have all that warm contentedness and peacefulness that I associate with post-con syndrome.
All the major faiths were represented (and Heather and I weren't the only Unitarians!) and everyone was being open about explaining the intricacies of their religions and I think I've fallen in love.
We were really unsure about what to wear. Our professor told us that we'd have to wear a scarf over our heads. Heather and I figured that we also would have to cover ourselves as well. I felt oddly comfortable and talking to the women about the hijab and why some chose to cover their faces as well as their heads and it just seems comfortable.
I think I'm going to celebrate Ramadan every year and for it I'm going to wear a hijab and only expose my wrist and ankles. I'm going to think it over a bit more and talk to people to make sure it won't offend anyone first, but it's an idea that I'm toying with.

and on the way home we pulled the van over to get out and look at the stars (they were amazing on the day that Ramadan ended. coincidence?) and Heather and I noticed that we happened to be at the top of an amazing hill with all this long grass so we rolled and it was excellent.

Current Mood: comfortable

yesturday I went apple picking and got to pet a donkey and a miniture horse.
then Mike and I were like "shit, we have so many apples" so we made pie.
It's wicked good, you should come over to the townhouse and eat some.
It's not at all poisonous

Current Mood: bouncy

I just finished a book about atrocities that I never knew had existed, by my government and others. I've been crying since the last three chapters.
Over the past three years, since I've been a UU basically, I have learned so much about the world's history that I had never known, about good people killed to keep corupted ones in power, about people slaughtered for no apparent reason other than greed, and people in such abject poverty so that I can live a comfortable life in Massachusetts.


I really want to talk to someone

and I need a hug

really bad.

Current Mood: crushed

hi y'all.
School's alright. I'm sorta comming to the realization that staying here wouldn't be so awful after all. I like the independance of being far enough from home that I have to deal with a lot of situations on my own. And I like that no-one here knew me or anything about me untill I got here so I am myself right off the bat.
I think my big problem was Intro classes. I get really frustrated because I know a lot of what's being taught already and I don't like taking things slowly EVER.
I have a meeting with my advisor about how I can declare myself. I want to be an anthropology major and it's not one that's offered here. I'm thinking of maybe being an anth major with maybe a philosophy or sociology minor.
So yeah.
Classes are cool and they all seem to be about subjects that I can get into and get passionate about. That's my favorite thing about this school: all the professors are passionate about what they teach and that makes me care more about the subject and get into the discussions. I think I have formed more indepth opinions about more diverse topics in the last year and month I've been here than during my whole time in highschool.
I also feel more intune with who I am and what I care about.
It's pretty sweet.

So the plan for the next academic year:
take all the classes with Sumi Colligan offered by this school
go to New Orleans either over winter or spring break
get a monroe peircing
start jamming with more people
learn a shit load of cool stuff about cool things
dance everyday at least once

Current Mood: contented to be where I am

I love my new job.
the end

so I'm all moved in and had all my class-classes today. I only have a gym tomorrow and Tuesday which is pretty sweet.
I start work tomorrow which my boss says is the easiest work I'll ever get paid for. I work from 9-12 on Tuesday and Thursday mornings.
The house is pretty sweet. Heather and I hav e the most poorly designed room in the planet. I can't fully open my closet or get to my bed if Heather's at her desk. But the whole atmosphere of the house and such is pretty cool. I'm really excited and a little less nervous about it.
Mike moved in today. He now offically lives in North Adams. The house he's sharing with Pete is wicked cool. The previous owners left all this random shit all over the house. For an example, the basement contained a table, a wicker recliner, a broken table, a massive cd burner, a crate full of sheet music, and a box full of old cello bows, among other things.
It's a super cool house.
My classes seem cool, I'm a little anxious about the workload, but I'll find a way of getting it done. 
I don't know what else there is to type. I'll probably hit the hay soon.
-Peace

My Week
I got an Ipod nano from the rents for my birthday (as a not so covert attempt to disuade me from re-peircing my eyebrow and nose)
Surgury last thursday.
It took 3 hours or so and apparently they had a hard time waking me up after. I don't remember much but I do rememeber yelling "We have to escape to Canada" when I finally did come around.
I have five new holes in my tummy. They are small and they're healing and I am too.
I came home for two days untill I stayed up all sunday night dry-heaving and I got sent back to the hospital.
I was there for another three days and the intern of my surgon was hitting on me so much that my mom noticed (if you don't know my mom, she's oblivious like me)
So I'm home now, hopefully for good. I lived on popsicles in the hospital and broth while home.
I was on the liquid diet for the past week but I can eat semi-solid food from today untill (hopefully) the 2nd of October.
No chocolate, caffine, carbonation, fruit with skins or seeds, tomatoes, spicy or strong flavored food, and a whole shitload of other things.
I guess I'm living on soup and toast for the next 6 weeks.
But hopefully, it'll all work out for the best.
I had another uper GI test (blech) and there are no holes, leaks, or hernias which is good.

It looks like it'll turn out alright.

Current Mood: hopeful

I go into surgury on the third of August.

Current Mood: anxious

I have a bad case of WUJS (wet and uncomfortable jeans syndrome) owing to my complete inabilty to prevent myself from splashing in any body of water I encounter be it a puddle or the Atlantic with my amazing friend Tony. That is all.

Current Mood: good
