11:13 pm	We Said We'd All Go Down Together! Sometimes, even when you don't think it will, life seems to show you a good time. Even when that knot in our stomach is tight as all get out, it can still be untied. So today i did doughnuts in Whitman's lot with gottesman pulling the handbreak for me b/c i couldnt with my thumb. THEY ARE SO AWESOME. We had the windows down and were blasting "since youv'e been gone" 'twas glorious. that is all.

11:00 pm	I Pulled Into Nazareth, Was Feelin' Bout Half Past Dead Wait so the month since i last updated was so unnecessarily fucked up. Like, thats why i dont drink to much, as in 4 times in 3 weeks, i knew that was no good. so now i get to sit at home on friday and saturday nights, contemplating my own alcoholism along with my navel. And i no longer doubt for a second that im an alchoholic either. The last time i showed self restraint drinking, as in the last time that i didnt get fucked up, well honestly i dont remember. I think in part this has a lot to do wiht the large numbers of keggars being hosted by my friends... Hmmmm perhaps i will review this topic later. I mean its not that i dont enjoy drinking, because honestly i do, perhaps therein lies the problem. Of course therein lies the problem. Ah but c'est la vie. i dont have to think on that topic for another month unless of course i feel the urge to drink alone..... which is not really a good idea i would say. But anywho, i dont want to sound like the last month has been nothing but drinking. It has been exciting as well, a new girl (who i cant see this weekend which is why i just got into a 20 minute slugfest (verbal) with my mother (always a good idea)). Hmm what else. OH YEAH i totalled my fucking tracer AWESOME SWEET TIGHT. So now i have the privelege of being the only senior to ride the bus in my entire school. AMAZING. not driving is awesome, especially when surrounded by a bunch of people i dont know or want to talk to. (wait so what are the good parts of this entry again lets try to end on an upnote) well ive reconnected with my oldest friend, this kid at sidwell ive known since kindergarten, hes so cool, im gonna hit up sidwell parties and he'll hit up st drews ones, it shall be a party consortium...... So anywho thats about it, still doing badly in school, hmm is there anything else. oh. i got into the Universtiy of Michigan today..... which is probably the best thing thats happened to me all month to be honest, because its actually kinda sucked but being into college=the best fucking thing ever. now if only i werent an anxious, grounded alcoholic with no car, money or motivation. yeah thatd be nice.

12:26 am	In which i shall play the part of the village idiot As my title suggests, i am about to do something stupid. Incredibly studid. I plan on applying early action to yale. let me first prefface that comment with several others. last night and today i was up at yale. it is not only breathtaking, but the residential college system coupled with prestige and excellence in academics and community makes for the college experience that ive been dreaming about since my childhood. but now heres the silly part. for some absurd reason i have a notion that i may have a shot at yale. i dont know why, but i think that perhaps, i could get in. theres nothing trully spectacular about my application, i had a great interview today and yes i am a legacy, but such things are swallowed up by the sheer numbers against me. 9.9 percent..... awesome. what a cool, cool number. thanks guys, big help. and so i begin my fall. like the byronic heroes of yore, i shall commit a punishable crime, here excessive pride, and just like the archetypal hero, the fall shall be greater than neccessary. sweet. i cant wait to see myself on december 16th. that should be fun Current Mood: apprehensive Current Music: jumping jack flash- the stones (5 blah blah blahs | rock my world)

12:30 am	In the social register without a penny to your name So i watched igby goes down. Hadnt seen it since freshman year. Interesting, i feel for the character. I empathize even.... if youve seen the movie you may not understand how i, someone who's outward attitude seems so remarkably unlike igbys but there are striking similarities. "I feel such a great.... pressure" so his father says. He's really just a S.A.D. kid, much like myself, and also in the social register without a penny to his (and my) name. lol i hope you dont get that. I hate this year, the work is unbelievble. Unbelievable. profound, no? Current Mood: drained (3 blah blah blahs | rock my world)

1:03 am	just call me lucifer Wow I clearly cannot re tell the tale of tonight, but suffice it to say that it was a remarkable evening and that i still cant believe it. so the girl that has been talked about in the prior few entries and i went to my dads house to watch the Graduate "Mrs. Robinson, are you trying to seduce me?" what a crazy night, i thought it would be east to write about and thought would flow through my fingertips like a swarm of locusts...... however this appears to not be the case. what a long wait. how about austin powers quotes? so which is it baby? spitz or swallows..... wait i didnt just write that did i? well what of it, she doesnt read my fucking live journal... ... and its swallows hey its just a bird commonly found roosting in rafters and chimnys im having a premonition ill erase this entry wiht much expedition (used improperly but i cant for the life of me understand why, to expedite is to speed things up so what cant it be an adverb?) hmm so anywho. cross country running/preseason trip... that was fun too.

7:07 pm	THE ONLY LIVING BOY IN NEWYORK I'm straddling that very fine line that always happens at the end of the summer. So what'll it be? BOREDOM-DEPRESSION-OR NOSTALGIA i dont like any of them. the past 3 weeks have been unbelievably bad. i hated work although i did make 1200 bucks. nostalgia... what a funny emotion. you can be at your greatest highs when suddenly nostalgia will strike. words, emotions, thoughts, images, rush back very much unwanted. haha thanks fellas. for instance i was just minding my own p's and q's on the couch, watching tv and playing guitar when suddenly i thought about last year, not just about this time last year, but the whole year. junior year, what a waste. im serious, i have remarkably high standards for senior year. i hope it will live up to them. but then again i did likewise for last year. really high. higher than alyssa milano! "WHAT A CHEAP SHOT! JOEL!" "IM SUEING IM SUEING" oh family guy, my crutch, my hero oh, and garden state is good. perhaps second best overall use of music in a movie ever. ever. and yes i do realize that so much more could have been done with the ending.... but hey thats why its a debut. (oh just for information it comes second to the big chill, now obviously i realize that scenes from other movies incorporate music better at points but this is an overall affect) ahem... fight club ... pixies by the way "sympathy for the devil" might be the greatest rock song of all time. please allow me to introduce myself...

12:01 am	the hudson bay? I suppose this is about my half-way point for my summer. I got back to DC two days ago and ive already spent quality time with the likes of chris, rob and will. Being in town for summer will be weird... this is the first time ive had such time in about seven years. .. maybe ill finally have a "summer fling"... eh eh EH? and perhaps not the hudson bay is absolutly amazing but so cold. we all dipped off the side of the canoes into it, your in for like 4 seconds because you vault back into the canoe with remarkable speed. we also paddled with beluga whales... one hit my canoe. so cool so thats done... along with my camp experience, hopefully ill go back in 2 years but my life as a camper is finished :( 6 canadiens 6 funny hats oh. and the rolling stones are amazing particularly "wild horses" and "street fighting man" but 'how come you taste so good now' 'just like a young girl should now' Current Mood: back Current Music: BROWN SUGAR (1 blah blah blah | rock my world)

11:35 pm	one last exam, one more day at aproximatly 11 am tommorow, junior year will be over. looking back on a year, i fail to see signifigance in my accomplishments. but oh well, let this entry be marked with levit, for it is a celebration of a culmination of a journey. it had ups, it had downs, and, for the most part, the two equalled each other out. I feel that many of the ups were due in large part to an amazing supporting cast of characters, diverse and robust, this group could compare with any at any school. I confidently put forth such a challenge. no but in all seriousness, my friends are amazing. well junior year is just about over, followed by a summer with (amazingly) no excess indulgences. I shall be training hard all summer and i hope to be in the best shape of my life and maybe, just maybe ill find someone. HA like that'll ever happen. JUNIOR YEAR- OUT Current Mood: accomplished Current Music: you aint seen nothing yet- Bachman Turner Overdrive (rock my world)

11:26 pm	do your eyes ever go fuzzy when writing late at night? you know what. i have nothing to say anymore. everytime i feel like i have something profound to write, i come down to this shit and the words have evaporated as quickly as they arrived. so instead i present the reason i love my dad, he gave me a bunch of books ive never read today and i wanna read them all this summer.(so if youve read em be like, cool book) Jailbird, Deadeye Dick, The Sirens of Titans, Bluebeard, Cat's Cradle, God Bless you Mr Rosewater, Hocus Pocus, Breakfast of Champions, Palm Sunday- Kurt Vonnegut Junior The Power and the Glory, The Quiet American- Grahm Greene Dangling Man, Herzog- Saul Bellow THe World According to Garp- John Irving Look Homeward Angel- Thomas Wolfe THe Invisible Man- Ralph Ellison Franny and Zooey- Jd Salinger Naked Lunch- William Burroughs Yeah so inspiration hasnt come so easily, perhaps literature will do the trick. I dunno, perhaps the answers will come to me in my sleep. Current Music: travis (7 blah blah blahs | rock my world)

10:57 pm	amen omen will i see your face again? ok, tell me if this makes sense, girl is flirtatious with guy, guy hangs out wiht girl twice, its cool, they mesh, girl has boyfriend that she is into very much. boy starts falling for girl hoping reciprocation is there, girl thinks boy is cool but still loves her boyfriend, still touchy feely. On phone wiht boy, boyfriend calls, girl says can i call back to boy and talks to boyfriend. boy is crushed. i stand alone crushed. ive noticed that self improvement drives in my body form often begin with days or weeks of self doubt.... today i lifted and then went running six and a half miles. strangly following self doubt.... however i welcome in the cross country season with resounding vigor and hope that this year i will beat mike, break 18, and have fun, and get in shape... yet all that remains to be seen yes we shall see. all thats left now is to wait out the end of the year, do somewhat well on the exams, then im to camp and free, and believe me i have never looked more forward to camp than this year. The bay, leaving behind this year, etc etc. really tho, i cant think of any outstanding moments this year, it seems to me, in retrospect, to be one gigantic non-event. it is a perpetual string of dead-end girls, self concious behavior, unfufilling academics, a lack of familial happiness, but then again ive never much gotten along with my family. That reminds me today of when gottesman asked me why he had never seen me hug my mother. I had no answer. any answer i could have given would have been insufficient to explain how i feel. its not that i dont like my family, its that i dont get anything out of it. it doesnt make me feel good to show extra affection to my mother, my sister, my brother, and on some days my father. i dont know why, mebe its because i had a shit child hood and resent them all for it. i honestly dont know. it sucks, tho, whatever it is. i had such high hopes in september and october... but dreams only come true in fairytales and hollywood. c'est la vie old friends become old strangers between the darkness and the dawn Amen omen will i see your face again amen omen can i find the place within to live my life Current Mood: bemused Current Music: amen omen- ben harper (4 blah blah blahs | rock my world)
