Peter Tork has cancer. It is very disheartening. I loved Peter, he is such a cool person that I look up to (being an aspiring bass player and just in general--hippie power!)...And now he has cancer...Not really too surprising, what with the smoking like chimneys they did in that era...but it's still sad. :( |

| My Roommate is a Bitch. |
[Feb. 19th, 2009|08:17 am] |
i hate my roommate. well, perhaps i shouldn't put it like that. i hate living with my roommate. that's better. what the fuck did she do today? well, let's put this into perspective: i am living on barely sleep. between all my classwork and rehearsals, i barely have time just to myself. on a day like today, which at st. bens is an odd day, i only have my odd classes. on even days i have to be up at 6:30. days like today, i can get up at 8:30. my roommate doesn't have a class until 11:20 on either day. so she can sleep as much as she fucking likes. so, now that the scene is set, today her alarm goes off at 7:30. and goes off ten minutes later. and ten minutes later. and ten minutes later. guess who doesn't get up? my roommate. guess who's up earlier than she needs to be: me. FUCKING.WHORE. i went to bed at 2:30 in the morning, after working on a newspaper that i guess wasn't even due until monday. stupid of me, i know, but if it wasn't that, it would be me up doing other homework. no, the day when i get to sleep a couple extra hours, there she goes fucking it up for me. but guess what? she's not considerate in the least. she bitches. 'oh, i'm so tired. oh, i don't want to go to class. oh, pity me'. i just want to punch her upside her fucking head. i'm sick of her and her manipulative/controlling/nosy nature. and yes, she is all three of those things, and has openly admitted to it. she wants things her way, and if you do or say anything contrary, then you're wrong. i can't fucking stand it. and this isn't the first time it happened, but she isn't considerate of anyone but herself. i'm just so pissed. ready to kill kinda thing. god. and then when i blow up eventually with anger, it's going to be all my fault. i know i'm not the perfect roommate, but she's far from perfect either. I'M JUST SO FUCKING PISSED. AND I CAN'T SHOUT BECAUSE SHE'S SLEEPING, AND I WOULD STILL LOOK LIKE THE BITCH. i'm half tempted to leave a mean stickie note. she fucking deserves it.
another thing that bothered me: last night, we were talking about the show that opened at the black box here at school. she was asking me about it, and then said something about 'i'm not sure i am going to go. since you went without me...' um, hello bitch. i had to throw this fucking reception for the cast of this show. i told you it was coming up. you KNEW that i was getting out of rehearsal to see it. so suck it, bitch.
i'm superly pissed right now. i can't really calm down. |

I would have to say that the unexpected death of John Lennon has affected me the most. Though I was not even born when he died, the idea that he really didn't deserve to die, and that something so tragic could happen to someone who had so much ahead for them, is tragic for me. He was not perfect, and I would not try to portray him that way. He just did so much to try and change the world, through his music and through his strong beliefs, that it still leaves me in awe. I wonder what more he could have done had his life not been ended so tragically. To think that years of brilliance have been lost makes me sad. Either way, today I honor him and remember him as someone who still continues to be a source of inspiration to me. RIP, John. <3. |

today was my first time voting...and i really feel great. i mean, i got this overwhelming sense that i was really doing something great. and i must say, i made john adams and all the founding fathers proud. this is what they wanted...in a long and roundabout way. either way...^___^!
also, this morning, there was a sign on our door that was pro-mccain, and it said something like 'john mccain will change washington'. well, when i read it, it was just when i had gotten up and i was without my contacts, so i thought it said, 'john mccain is george washington'. i still stand by the idea that it says this. |

| Journaling...I am journaling... |
[Oct. 17th, 2008|04:18 pm] |
6 weeks later and I'm still alive. Surprising, I know.
I thought things were bad in August...but now it's ten times worse. Now that I have a set schedule, I'm moving constantly from 9 in the morning to 5 in the evening. I have a couple hours with which to eat and start homework, and then it's rehearsal time. I was cast in Our Town, that interesting play by Thornton Wilder. I am Woman in Balcony, Choir Member, and a Dead Person. It's great fun. We've started wearing corsets at rehearsals, so that's interesting. Anyway...I end up getting back, and then working on homework. Blah!
So today is my day to relax, kinda. I don't have rehearsal tonight, and I actually got done with classes at 12:30 for a change. So I've been catching up on this huge list of reading I've got. I'm preparing for my Nanowrimo in November, so I'm trying to get a better grasp on the American Revolution. I might also want to take a look at the results of the Irish Revolution (Irish Revolt? Not sure)...so...I'm just piling it on. But I think that being busy keeps me going, so I guess it's not too bad.
Otherwise...Just writing a Murder Mystery with my roommate, to be performed next weekend. That should be really fun. After last year, we wanted to write another one, and we've got two plots going, so we'll have one for December as well!
I'm excited for Halloween, too! Besides the Urban Legends and Scary Stories, my friends and I are dressing up as the Monkees! I will be Mike, my roommate Brianna is going to be Peter, my friend Brita is going to be Micky, and BriRi will be Davy! I'm excited! Even though I have rehearsal, we're going to go out and do something that night! YAY!
Well...I'm going to go do a little research. Toodles. |

i feel so out of the loop and i don't know why. i guess it's because two years ago (or was it a year ago already? i have lost my sense of time) i was doing all this writing stuff for look_sharp and 1776_contest...it seem so long ago...hmm...
but...i'm WAY excited for my second annual 1776-athon, to be held wednesday! i will not be available for 24 hours as i watch my way through 1776 many a time...so excited!
oh...and a little thing that has been bugging me. i got this new book that is published by the smithsonian, about July 4th, 1776. now, i thought this might be a credible source to read from. however, not a few pages in, in the article about john adams, they say 'in 1825 his son, John Quincy Adams, became the FIFTH president of the United States'. um...excuse me? fifth president? try sixth. and it bothers me because these articles are supposed to be editied before they're sent out. idk...i wrote a rant on my facebook, but...i don't feel like posting it. it gets into the other faults of the book...overall, i'm halfway done but can't bring myself to finish it.
not much else going on in real life. i started working out. i feel great.
...yeah. i'm tired. toodles. |

so...i went to the rally in st. paul last night...it was AMAZING!...just the vibe there, and being apart of history...it was memorable. and i finally feel like i can safely say i agree with everything he wants to get done as president. he will most assuredly get my vote, and it will be the best thing ever because this is my first year of voting eligibility! |

What Emily Means
|
You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone.
You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together.
At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.
You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated.
You master any and all skills easily. You don't have to work hard for what you want.
You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way!
You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing.
You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long.
You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.
You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow.
You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily.
Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is.
You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in.
You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising.
You may miss out by not settling down, but you're too busy having fun to care.

there really isn't much going on. i've decided that i want to go to california in the middle of may. i want to see bradley, since he and co are taking Figaro out to Berekley, CA. so...that's what i want. i think it could potentially happen. caroline and lauren think he's cute (and caroline's all about doing the finer things in life--what's finer than an opera?), and they have fam in CA, so...road trip? a little long and possibly expensive, but thus far the most feasible ideas of getting out there. it could be fun! it would be too! chelsea is getting me into opera, and loathe as i would be to admit it, i've taken the bate. i listened to my records, and now wish i had gotten the madame butterfly selections...but...its a good thing i didn't cause i have no moneys. hmm...finally got fcaaboc sequel on my new laptop, so i'm typing at it. it should be done relatively quickly. i have also started the sequel to my novel, which is still at a fan count of 3 (4 including myself). brita said i should make it into a movie (once it gets published), get bradley greenwald to play rutledge, and i'll just have to cast myself as cordelia. <3! if only...um...so yeah. doing research on the whole jeffers/adams relationship, since it's been a while since i read my adams bios. once that gets accomplished i can continue with that sequel...it's 7,000 words and we haven't even reached SC yet...but we're almost there. backstory and shit...i'm kinda glad to be going back to school. my dad is driving me up the wall. pawel can deal with it in a few days, i'm outta here!...i also miss school peeps and being my own person...going to see sweeny todd tomorrow with the highland group. i'm going to have it out with matt and see where this leaves us. i also hope lauren's coming--she has to give me the scoop! well...i guess that's it. |

almost done with classes! ah! that means homeward bound soon (ignoring the fact i go back this weekend to work), and writing! i have to type up FCAABOC sequel, and my nano sequel, which i have half the plot developed for...
...although i don't know why i entered my holiday challenge piece...
...that was random. but maybe some welch's too, while i'm at the writing stuff...
...this break is going to be awesomeness! |

[Dec. 3rd, 2007|11:48 pm] |
emily is depressed...and writing in the third person, subsequently.
anyway, after chatting with lauren and starting to go through my jonesy phase again, i have decided to kill off swedish slut in order to steal jonesy away. yes, he's old, but i love him dearly. he's so funny.
...i've been reading the palin diary book, and i must say i'm enjoying it. thoughts about the pythons changing. palin, though not a really attractive man, unlike my jonesy (:D) or pretty boy eric (:D), is really quite nice, and it's interesting to see his take on python, his guilt in breaking up the certain jonesy/palin writing duo (just for ripping yarns, nothing really too serious), and other stuffs. now i think jonesy should publish his journals, and then we'll really be in business! :)
...i didn't call chelsea today. poo. i meant to, but then we picked for secret santa, and i've been battling with my emotions...
...i kinda wanna write a diary again, though everytime i start writing again, unsavory things begin to happen, and i discard it after writing down painful memories (the david backlash of prom, the klaus-dating thing, etc)...but...it would be nice to look back on. but i don't think i'll write it in my old diaries, just to avoid those saddening memories. anywho, i guess that's all i got.

AH! i must go to see my vern!...my brain is on overload...and, su is coming to stay with us from december 27th to january 2nd or 3rd...so...i'm excited. she went home with andrea over thanksgiving break...and is going to brianna's for a week (during christmas), and then to my place, then to andrea's again for the rest of break. we didn't want her to have to sit around here during winter break...so yeah. i'm excited. i think we're going to see a christmas carol, since chels and i have that planned...then we were thinking of a pre-new years party on the 30th which she could come to, and...ah! i'm excited! i don't think i can express that enough...today has just been overstimulating! i swear...that's about it. kicking around ideas for things...OH! and diane! i saw you called! i'm sorry, things have been so hectic! i'm hoping i can call you tomorrow, or at least chat with you! i'm sorry!

I FINISHED MY NANOWRIMO! YAY!...i finished it with 50,142 words, though their word count said i only had 50,016 words...still...i finished! and this time, unlike last, i finished the whole story and hit the word count. last year i just went way over the word count and never finshed, and that made me sad. but i'm finished! and i think i'm going to post it on here in chunks later tonight. i already have a preliminary idea for a sequal, if people like it (though everybody knows how i am about sequals; that might just be left for next year's nano)...i'm just superly excited. :D! |
