It's grand that after a book like A Farewell to Arms, we're reading The Catcher in the Rye. It makes me like AP Lit a little bit. Except I know we're not going to talk about this book half as much as we talked about Hemingway's.
You'd like it. It's not phony at all.
It's hilarious.
The book is so awesome. It's not anything you have to struggle with either.
You should see how Holden talks about people! It's awesome.
I love Holden Caulfield. Boy! He's grand.
I love you all.

My goal for the rest of the year (all 1 and a half months of it) is to get kicked out of Mr. Watson's AP Lit class.
I'm really beginning to despise both the man and the class.
Plus, I've never been in trouble for anything at school.
I might as well aim high.
I love you all.
P.S. I'm in one of those moods where I'm really tempted to delete everything in this journal and rip up every word I've written.
P.P.S. And slice up my arm but that's not going to happen.

crash.
"it's the sense of touch. i think we miss that touch so much that we crash into each other just so we can feel something."
i saw this preview a couple weeks ago at the theater when i saw "hotel rwanda" and i felt like i was watching something i'd made myself (the very beginning at least, you'll see why). the music is samuel barber's adagio for strings. talk about beautiful.

i find it hard
to drive your stupid car
i find it hard
cause i never get that far
and you put my brain in overload
and i can't change gears
i cannot see the road
you got concrete eyes
and i cannot see your face
and i failed in life
cause you crushed me with your hands
and you put my brain in overload
i can't change gears
i cannot see the road
what do you think?

I love this man. (I'm on a Smiths/Morrissey stint)
In October 2004, Morrissey released a politically charged statement urging American voters to vote against George W. Bush for President. Morrissey's statement was: "With all my heart I urge people to vote against George Bush. Jon Stewart would be ideal, but John Kerry is the logical and sane move. It does not need to be said yet again, but Bush has single-handedly turned the United States into the most neurotic and terror-obsessed country on the planet. For non-Americans, the United States is suddenly not a very nice place to visit because US immigration officers — under the rules of Bush — now conduct themselves with all the charm and unanswerable indignation of Hitler's SS. Please bring sanity and intelligence back to the United States. Don't forget to vote. Vote for John Kerry and get rid of George Bush!"
Don't read this part.

I love you all.

I went to my first official play practice today.
I have three or four more scenes that I'm going to be in but I already have a line and a stage movement that places me right in front of everything. Oh, and I have a line with a bunch of the other faires too.
I'm Fairy 13. 13 is one of my lucky numbers, too.
This week is taking way too long to end.
I love you all.

I had my Blockbuster interview today. They pushed it back to 5 because the managers had some meeting or somesuch.
It was short. Really short.
I made the worst mistake ever too because I was nervous. I sat down without being asked or told to. Bleh.
I'll know by Monday if I made the first cut.
Thanks for the well-wishes, everybody.
I love you all.

I have an interview at Blockbuster tomorrow at 4.
I'm scared to death and really nervous.
It's my first interview ever.
Wish me luck.
I need this job so I can pay for half of my tuition.
And so I can have Nick's cat.
Bleh. I'm scared.
I love you all.
P.S. I laugh.

I got a part as a fairy
Last night, I went over to Ben's to hang out with him and Nick. Jackie called Nick's cell around 11 and asked if we wanted to rent a movie and watch it at her house. I was a little tired, Ben said he was going to fall asleep but we all went over anyway.
It was snowing a lot. You could not see the road. We got to Jackie's then went out again to Blockbuster and rented Invader Zim.
Nick and Ben fell asleep fast. I was supposed to be home at 1:30 but Jackie's mom called and said it was snowing very heavily outside and you couldn't see the road. She told Jackie that she didn't want anyone driving home and we were all staying over.
I watched Invader Zim until 3ish. Nick was out pretty quickly (he had to work this morning) and Ben fell asleep pretty fast too. I slept on Jackie's pull out couch bed thing in her basement.
Nick woke me up before he left for work.
I woke up and got up at 11. Jackie dropped me off at home a bit after that.
I tried out for the school play (Midsummer Night's Dream) on Thursday. I made callbacks and they said they'd call if I got a part. They called yesterday while I was gone. I apparently got some fairy part. I'm a little disappointed but a lot relieved because I won't have a whole bunch of lines. I'm excited for the fairy costume and fairy makeup. Yay!
I don't see how I got the part of a graceful fairy with my dorky hobo dance and this song Kelly and I made up about a cat:
There was a cat
(There was a cat)
And he died
(And he died)
But he smelled fish
(But he smelled fish)
And he woke up
(And he woke up)
There was a cat
And he died
But he smelled fish
And he woke up!
Nine months for Nick and me today. I was going to try to get people together to go bowling. Nick's wanted to go bowling for a long time.
I love you all.

in honor of today
my shadow's shedding skin
and i've been picking scabs again
i'm down
digging through my old muscles
looking for a clue
i've been crawling on my belly
clearing out what could've been
i've been wallowing in my own confused
and insecure delusions
for a piece to cross me over
or a word to guide me in
i wanna feel the changes coming down
i wanna know what i've been hiding
in my shadow
change is coming through my shadow
my shadow's shedding skin
i've been picking my scabs again
i've been crawling on my belly
clearing out what could've been
i've been wallowing in my own chaotic
and insecure delusions
i wanna feel the change consume me
feel the outside turning in
i wanna feel the metamorphosis
and cleansing i've endured
within my shadow
change is coming
now is my time
listen to my muscle memory
contemplate what i've been clinging to
forty-six and two ahead of me
i choose to live and to grow
take and give and to move
learn and love and to cry
kill and die and to be paranoid and to lie
hate and fear and to do what it takes to move through
i choose to live and to lie
kill and give and to die
learn and love
and to do what it takes to step through
see my shadow changing
stretching up and over me
soften this old armor
hoping i can clear the way
by stepping through my shadow
coming out the other side
step into the shadow
forty-six and two are just ahead of me
