We've played doctor. That's all i'll say about that.

Horah! Mike Doughty is coming once again. I've been itching for my yearly fix. It's almost a tradition now. I think he may be with a band now too, which would be an interesting change.

"I resent the way you make me like myself...."

I believe i've found the love of my life, and it's come to me in the form of a baby Pineapple. Kickass.

It's real! Admit it, that's pretty f'in cool.

I saw the oddest collection of bumper stickers on a truck this afternoon. There was a "Vote Bush Out!" Sticker next to a "Real women drive big trucks" sticker, and a Gay Pride flag next to a huge Jesus fish, amongst other things. Crazy.
You'd think i'd have something a bit more interesting to say. You'd be wrong.

EXTREME boredom!
I disected and cleaned my fan for lack of anything better to do. Sweet.
my brother bought himself Lost Dogs, and now keeps singing (poorly) Wash, perhaps my favorite PJ song, leading me to contemplate jabbing a pair of scissors into my temple, hopfully puncturing the part of my brain that registers sound. *Formulates plot to steal and dispose of said cd* At least he'll probably forget about it in a few days, i'll just have to stick it out. (Though this may seem trivial, it really will drive me crazy. I'm very protective over my music. yes, it's mine. I heard it first damnit!).

Court went pretty much as expected. The Judge was going to drop all charges with just a warning, when the DA chimes in, in an annoying little girl voice mind you, that Officer Barton has requested that we all complete 40 hours of community service with him. Beautiful. Still better than it could have been, so i shant complain. I should have started something with that DA though. Mr. Barton no, but she was small, i coulda taken her.
If anybody is free on sunday and wants to do something let me know. I really wanna get out of the house.
...i guess that's assuming that anyone still reads this. hmm...

Well i finially heard from Purchase about the writing program.....and i got in! Ahem. I'm mildly excited. I feel...validated as a writer in a way i hadent been before (and despite all "I write for myself, screw the world" pretention, a little recognition does feel good).
So, how many minutes till i leave?

So, who would have thought i'd end up at dennys with Joe Raz and Andy Maslyn late on a wendsday night. I'm pleased that i did though. I had an excelent time, despite my outward appearences i'm sure. I can never fuly avert the tentative-first-time-newn ess-akwardness tendencies, but what can you do. The time flew (we were there for like 2.5 hours) which is a great compliment to any situation. I hope i have the chance to spend time with them again. I feel like i'll be able to give more.
oh, and kate was there too. and i love her. as you all know. word.

...and the bright eyes cds are excelent. Expecially "I'm wide awake, it's morning." Oddly probably my favorite parts of the cd are the cameos by Emmylou Harris. Her voice is just...perfect, and compliments the somgs so well. Gives them more weight. I'm still iffy about digital ash, but it's certanly good. just not sure how good yet. Idk, i'll reserve judgement, for the time being.
Tim, if you read this, Poison Oak is stunning. You'll love it.
The worst par about not having IM is feeling so disconnected from everyone. I was supposed to hang out with joe today, but i dont know his number (not that i'd call anyways) and have no means of contacting him. I should start making plans in ADVANCE. Yea, that's the ticket.
Well like every Ani album, knuckle Down has that one line that makes my teeth grind and my back ache. This time it's "you cant will your cunt wet." What the hell is that? Best part is the damn song is stuck in my head, so it just plays over and over and ovwer and over and over and over and... We all get the point. She can take control of an unecessarily taboo word, great. Let it go. (however the rest of the album does make me cream my pants, so i have little reason to complain. Parameters, Studying Stones, Manhole, and Recoil are superb, and Modulation is a ton of fun to play along with. I should stop my bitching. mhm.)

Doug and i had one of our binge-conversation nights tonight, and it was excelent, as usual. Sometimes i think it's a good thing i dont get to talk to him all that much because it leves us with so much to catch up on when we have oppertunities like tonight. Good times.
Other than that it was an excelent day in general. Loved spending some time with anne, a rare treat, and of course ellen and the rest. Watching jay sporting a ridiculous hat completely hammered was superb. Good good day.
New cds! Knuckle Down is fantastic. Hopefully i'll get to bright eyes soon (I have to be in the right state of mind). word.

is it compulsive of me to NEED to obtain every Vonnegut book? Cause i do. and it's all the fault of half.com (and my love of vonnegut). Cheap things means buy more. As if the holes in that logic arent visible from a mile away. I've fallen for this site.

I got a scholarship from purchase. yay. Now i just need to hear back about the damn writing program. I've been checking my email compulsively.
I've decided this summer i'm going to learn to play a new instrument. I've narrowed it down to lap steel or banjo. I'm leaning towards banjo. Of course it'll most likely come down to what i'll be able to afford, but it's exciting (kinda) none the less.
If anyone wants to doooooooo anything let me know. I've been bored out of my mind.

ahh, i feel like shit.
I'll be ataying at my dad's house for a while. I guess it's a good thing...I dont really know anymore.
The kicker is, even after ALL this shit, i still cant find my inspiration. I feel like a fraud.

I've never been one for drastic sense-memory flashbacks or whatever they might be called, but i'm listening to Guster for the first time in...god knows how long, and it feels....weird. Like a prolongued flashback (unfortunately not a good one) to the summer. So many bitter-sweet memories. So much to regret. I miss the begining. I dont think i've ever been that happy....
Ick, it's times like this when you gotta wonder if they're right when they say these were the best years of our lives. If so, I have a bleak, bleak journy ahead of me. *shudder*

Well i finally made a move last night and i'm proud. After jon's latest batch of threats i just packed up some stuff and left. Went to my dad's. If he wants to kick me out i'm one step ahead of him. Fuck him. It was empowering, even though in the end it was meaningless.
"I had to leave the house of conformity, in order to make art. Learn to be more or less true, just to tell the two apart."
Idk why i like that, but i really do.
It disgusts me how much i eat when i'm home a lot. Idk why i always have to be eating something. I need to start excersizing. Seriously. I feel like crap, and i shouldnt be sore for a week after snowboarding for a few hours.
I'm free on friday. Freeeedom. If you wanna do something let me know, expecially after school, since i wont be able to go over to steve's house for a while at least.
"Everything i do is judged. They mostly get it wrong, but oh well. The bathroom mirror has not budged, and the woman who lives there can tell, the truth from the stuff that they say. She looks me in the eye, says "Would you prefer the easy way? No? Well, ok then, dont cry."

Well the results were negative, so the charges are dropped. The grounding ends next friday supposedly, which i guess isnt bad. If any of you ever see me doing anything slightly stupid that will get me in this situation again kick me on the spot. In the head. Or stomach. Wearing golf slpikes if possible. I'm not wasting the rest of my year like this.

any of you who might be considering getting tickets for drug possession, i highly advise against it. It's not nearly as glamerous or exciting as you might think.
I want this to all be over. After this i'm never leaving the house again. That outta keep me out of trouble.

Well it's done. The first round is at least. Basically we have to go be evaluated to see if we're junkies or not, and then go back to court in a week or so. Awesome. Not being a junkie, i know i dont have anything to worry about, but it just all so draining and i wish it could be over. I had to fight off the urge to laugh in the courtroom, which is odd for me since i'm not a nervous laugher. Oh yeah, and i think part of me was expecting i to be a lot more law and order-esque than it actually turned out to be, and i'm a little dissapointed. I topped the whole thing off by starting a fight with my mom and john (who kept calling himself my parent, which pisses me off to no end) in the car on the way home. So basically i'm probably pretty screwed. I'll find out soon.
Oh i found this awesome site where some woman has scanned all of the tori amso sheet music books and put them up for download. So wonderfully illegal, but it's ok, since i'm leaving the law-breaking up to others, at least for a while.
I disgust myself with how much I eat when i'm home all day. I forced myself to run on the treadmill until i couldnt take it anymore (given this was only like 15 mins because i'm so out of shape, but i assure you it was terrible).
I miss not having to be here.

I have to admit, i'm a little nervous about tomorow. Not really the court aspect, but that all of our parents will be in the same room, and knowing that they're all glaring at the other two, wondering which one was the bastard that corrupted their baby. Being the kid with the long hair and beard, i assume i'll be the likely suspect, so i shaved. I feel weird about it, but i guess it had to be done.
Fuck the Sysytem!
Ahem...
Oh yeah, mikey came in to work the other day. It was so crazy to see him. Idk if you knew him, he was the big kid with the brown shirt who payed gameboy all the time and had a wicked sense of humor. Yea, i missed him a lot. Come to find out, he's going to Purchase, so if plans work out the way i hope they will i'll probably be seeing a lot more of him. The kicker was he was still wearing that damn brown shirt that he wore all through math and gym and creative writing and sculpture and all the other classes we had togeather the last two years. He was telling kate and I this elaborate story, and then informed us he was lying and walked out. I love it.

mmmmmmmmmipod.
yay. *sudden burst of christmas cheer*
I got my brother a poker set, you know, to encourage him to travel that waky winding road of gambling addiction.
Let me tell you, there's not much funnier than watching amber try to remail aloof while opening presents, even though she's obviously extremely excited. She'd let out a little squeal then quickly put it out of her sight and say thanks i guess. Ahh the wonders of non-conformist-conformist teenage girls.
How was your christmas?

I'm tired of being, today. Sitting waiting for sleep to tackle me is not my idea of satisfaction. Being too tired to read, for me, is like being to thirsty to drink (almost), and yet it seems to be the case. Christmas is too draining.
"Rumors insisted he soon would be For his deviations taken into custody By the authorities, less informed than he. Drinkers and jokers, all soul searchers Searching for love, love, love Love, love, love Love, love was all around
Preparations were made For his celebration day He said, "Eat this bread, think of it as me. Drink this wine and dream it will be The blood of our children all around"
I'm in an odd mood. Does it show?

fuck this.
I got the whole "you're a dark cloud" speech again tonight. I'm not one to have violent tendencies, but damn. Hold me back. They say i act like i hate it here, and yet somehow cannot equate that to the fact that i really do. I dont need this. I'm thinking about talking to my dad about moving in with him full time again. I'm so exhausted from everything in life right now, this is the last think i need to deal with. As i said, fuck this.
Am i always a dark cloud?
