[ mood | owwww!!! ]

why are my ovaries and uterus trying to claw their way out? i swear, i'm getting them out. there has to be a way. this simply isn't worth it. i probably won't have children that are biologically related to me anyway, at least not on purpose, so what's the point of keeping them around? i want them out. not really. mostly i want my organs to be content to remain where they are doing their job. however, they are evil and don't deserve to remain in my body. god, the pain. arrrrrrrrrrrrrgh

well one paper down [24 Jan 2002|06:57pm]
laura, our formal's done. its got citations, sorta. maps, in correct order. tables. footnotes, finally got them to print too. its six pages of passive voice discussion of shit in water. wooee! we've got 11 pages total. it even has our names on it now.

chances the state/city'll do a damn thing about it....zero. chances i'll send it to the EPA in three months if they aren't doing anything to hunt down which houses are illegally hooked up to the storm drains and dumping their crap into cheesecake brook->charles river->boston harbor->ocean 100%. wheeeeeeeeeeee!

now on to philosophy.
i have no mind
nothing matters.
there is no relationship
between my mind and what
matters.
mind and matter do not relate
THE END

"Harry Potter" prompts police boycott [24 Jan 2002|04:13pm]
i am disturbed

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Jan. 24, 2002 | PENRYN, Pa. (AP) --

The police department has refused to direct traffic at a YMCA triathlon because it says the club promotes witchcraft by reading Harry Potter books to children.

Penryn Fire Police Capt. Robert Fichthorn said the eight-member force voted unanimously to boycott the 20th running of the triathlon, scheduled for Sept. 7.

"I don't feel right taking our children's minds and teaching them (witchcraft)," Fichthorn said. "As long as we don't stand up, it won't stop. It's unfortunate that this is the way it has to be."

The Lancaster Family YMCA began reading chapters of the Harry Potter books to children enrolled in an after-school program in November.

In a letter to the township and the YMCA, Fichthorn challenged the religious integrity of the YMCA, and questioned whether it was "serving the will of God" in using the books.

The wildly popular children's books by J.K. Rowling chronicle the fictional adventures of the young Harry Potter as he attends a boarding school for wizards and battles his nemesis, the evil sorcerer Voldemort.

The YMCA's executive director, Michael Carr, said he was disappointed by the department's decision, but doesn't expect it to stop about 600 triathletes from participating in the race.

Township Supervisor Ronald Krause said the YMCA may have to hire police from another community to direct traffic for the race.

The course includes a one-mile swim, a 25-mile bicycle route and a 6.2-mile run. About 200 volunteers are needed to run the event, which passes through Penryn, a small community about 66 miles west of Philadelphia.

i'll huff and i'll puff till i blow your house in [23 Jan 2002|10:22pm]
i want a hug. that i can't get. that i won't get. for two days less than a month. for a smile. for to fall asleep with a warm body next to me. for to be held and believe that when i wake up it won't just be a dream.

there was this night, over thanksgiving break. it was the most amazing time i've had. i was happy. there was no doubt. only smiles. laughs. tickle fights. cuddles. long comfortable silences in which nothing needed to be said. just laying near each other. there aren't words with which to do it justice. a grin is more appropriate. a deep smile from way inside, the places i didn't remember existed. were alight with love and happiness.

can you remember? [16 Jan 2002|11:01pm]
well, i thought i had gotten my head buzz sophmore year. but i think i may have been mistaken. was it freshman year? or sophmore year? i think it must have been freshman year as i had a couple inches by the time i started not going out with michael and that was sophmore year. i'm an idiot. yeah, it was freshman year, michael and i started not going out in november or december and i buzzed my head in january. therefore, it must have been freshman year. doh!

home sweet home [01 Jan 2002|10:37pm]
i'm back.
FL was great. my family loves michael. when he was saying goodbye to everyone my grandmother gave him a hug and a kiss, same as everyone else. poor kid. when the family photo was taken, participation in the family photo means that you are in the family and won't leave, he was asked to join. i wouldn't let him, but he was asked. i'm not ready for that, give it five or ten more years. but it was cute. he played with my cousins, held the babies, laughed with the little ones, put up with the pre-teens. he talked and drank with my aunts and uncles, as did pretty much everyone else.
we went snorkling, it was great. i love fishes. i want to be a fishes. kayaking, also lots of fun, tho it did result in many misquito bites, lots and lots and lots.
my parents ulitmately would not let us sleep together, although naps on top of each other in the living room were okay, as were naps in locked rooms. i personally fail to see the logic, but oh well. however, my bestest sweetie snuggled with me every night until i fell asleep and then disentangled himself and went to his own bed, 15 feet away.
the last of my cousins have been born. its so strange to think that there won't be any more babies, until i breed. unless one of my cousins gets knocked up before then or knockes someone else up, but i'm the oldest. noah's the end, he's three months old, i'm the oldest, i'm nearly 18. there are 18 of us. weird. michael decided to torment my mother, actually i scared him by telling him how large my family's weddings are, so he asked her what her views on eloping versus a large wedding were. she flipped, it was kind of amusing. then he asked her what her view on illegitimate children is.
my new years have always been strange. last year i got the flu. year before i played drunk charades with my extended family and talked to michael on the phone. this year i had yummy food with my extended family and michael and good drinks, made by one of my aunts who is an amazing cook and has good taste in drinks, and talked for much of the night. we eventually got kicked out of that villa thingy, one of my aunts and uncles, so we went back to ours and talked and cuddled. it was a hard conversation to have, but needed to happen. i hope it helped. there was crying and hugging. i eventually fell asleep, as did michael, bu later woke when he left for his own bed several hours later. we then had to get up far to early, pack, drive to miami, and fly home.

christmas [25 Dec 2001|12:20am]
[ mood | hopeful ]

yay! its christmas. hmmm...when i was little i used to get up at 6 and have to wait until 7 to get my parents up so we could go open the presents. they'd leave our stockings outside our doors so we could play w/the stuff in them until 7, buying themselves an extra hour of sleep. tomorrow, we're getting up at 9:30, a much debated hour, but there are fresh home made sour dough waffles and fresh brewed coffee in the deal, already made when i get up. yayness. happy warm food. then off to meet michael's extended family, eep! but, will be a good day. now off to bed to make morning come quicker.

mmmm went to see LotR last night. twas good. given that i don't want to sit in a movie theater forever i thought they did a good job deciding what to keep and what to cut, but i wish there was some way to have all of it. i'm sad that i didn't finish reading before i went to see it, infact i'm doing really badly at reading, but, we shall see. maybe it allowed me to enjoy the movie more. kate rocks and now i have readable copies of book one and three, which makes me very happy. wish i could have spent more time w/the boy, but the time we had was well spent. i love that the boston common theater has raisable arm rests, it makes movies that much more enjoyable, cuddling is the best thing ever. i have to agree w/kate that the music was way to titanicy. ooo, i have a new stuffie. yay. he's green. he's a crocagator or a aladile. he's cute and squishy and really really soft. and he's got bean bag feet. yay for winter holidays. i heart my sweetie, he's the bestest.
