[ mood | tired ]

i am going to be in the 425 really freaking soon for a really freaking short time so apologies in advance for not seeing everyone and not seeing those i do see much but man it's going to be sweet to be home and maybe sweeter to not have school for a few days.

everyone should go read "Sonny's Blues" by James Baldwin and "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" by TS Eliot ASAP if you haven't already, they are both pretty sweet.
ok bye

man, what a weird mood.
coming home makes me think a lot, yet provides nothing in the way of...moments of clarity? i don't even know how to talk about what i'm talking about.

merry christmas.

sometimes we stay at home, and it's just fine.

and goodnight.

[ mood | we'd better hurry up because i ]

I cannot decide how to spend my money.

my love for clothes has been reawakened.
colette introduced me to half price books a few weeks back. i see an addiction looming...
I bought my first ever DVDs today (laugh if you must). another addiction looming..
and of course, my true love, buying cds. I thoguht i was off htat for a hwile, but I listened to Akron/Family today and I went "ooooh", and I still need to get Castanets, and maybe a few dozen other thigns, and uh, the Eels and Ben effing Folds both just came out with new cds that are supposed to be good....curses.



oh yeah, and mountain goats. and damien jurado. etc. etc.


money money money
how am i not myself?


heck, cast your votes: cds, clothes, dvds, books....which is the most fun/valuable/whatever to buy? hmmmm

i woke up today. then i wnet to school. i think i need to get either excited or sad about something, cause it seems like you're always going one way or the other, and you don't usualyl slowly get more excited/happy, so it seems like by default i just get more sad/moody/restless or whatever.

anyone else get that?

Coldplay is touring ireland and engladn with Interpol. not seattle, just in csae anyone was hopeful.

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

just so people know, this journal is usually freinds only.

if you add me, I'll probably add you back.



I'm pretty sure everyone knows that, and I really doubt anyone is dying to read my journal who can't, but I'm an uptight person, so I thought I should post this..
