Jill Valentine would be the easiest cosplay in the universe.

Easier than Rinoa even.

The boots would be the only hard thing.

Why didn't I think of this before?

Oh yeah, because I've never played Resident Evil and I don't want to look like a whore.

Now it all makes sense.

And the Japanese always pull it off best anyway.

This was completely pointless.

Yarr.

I love you all.



I remembered my point.

I was talking to Ben today and I got to drawing. A lot.

Read more..


I had a few where he was in jail and one where he was being hanged.

I love drawing crappily. It makes the whole day fun.

It's Tuesday and you know what that means --

UFOs! WOO!


I was talking to that robot a while ago.

I hate her but I love her.

It's creepy how she stares at me.

Human: Was he a Nazi?
ALICE: Is this a "yes or no" question?
Human: Yes
ALICE: What was the question again?
Human: Was Konrad Zuse a Nazi?
ALICE: Is this a "yes or no" question?
Human: YES!
ALICE: What was the question again?
Human: I'm going to stab you now.
ALICE: Oh. It takes much more than that to shut me down, Rachel.


I don't like robots.

I love you all.

The computer people (ABS) called.

From what I gathered, the motherboard was fried but they didn't wipe the hard drive.

They replaced the motherboard with the exact same kind of motherboard.

With the new motherboard, our CD drive, DVD drive and floppy drive wouldn't work so they replaced those too.

Then for some reason they had to give us a new CPU case.

My mom has a hard time understanding Asian people so I don't even know if that's really what was going on.

Anyway, we should have our computer back soon. Hopefully my mom understood correctly and they didn't wipe the hard drive.

That would be pretty funny because right now Ben's computer has all our junk on it and is going really slow.

So yeah. Our computer is fixed and should be on its way from California soon.

Hopefully.

I love you all.

Who is 73h awesome?

I found out how to get handwriting on msn messenger. It's awkward because I'm using the mouse but it's so cool!

This is me talking to Phil about how cool I am:

Oh, yeah!

On another note, there are not only plants in my gutter but also, we believe birds. Or their nests.

How awesome!

I love you all.

It's called LARP!!!
Well.

Today started out quite uneventful but turned out really awesome.

My sister and I watched The Sixth Sense. I had only watched it once before (on the bus back from Cedar Point in eighth grade) but I fell asleep during it then. I already knew everything about it so it could've been a lot better but I thought it was pretty cool.

Ben called while we were watching the deleted scenes and asked if I wanted to hang out. I couldn't because my parents were gone (this was while it was still light out...they still are gone) and I had to watch not only my siblings but also my brother's friend.

Later, (I don't know what time it was... past 7) my sister said, "someone's setting off fireworks" and we could hear the screeching noise of some sort of noisemaker. The door opened and my brother said, "it's Rachel's friends!"

Jackie, Ben and Brett showed up and we hung around for a little bit before watching a bit of Unbreakable then watching Signs. Nick showed up around 11.

Everyone headed home before midnight.

It was pretty awesome. I don't think everyone has ever hung out at my house before. I'm glad they all showed up. I had fun.

I love you all.

P.S. I called my parents to tell them that people were over so I wouldn't get in trouble if they came home while everyone was still there. My dad told me to get Brett Bretterson's autograph on a napkin. It had to say: "To Rachel's dad, I think of you always. Love, Brett Bretterson" And you wonder why I'm insane...

So I'm talking to this robot.

And she's confusing. Like robots tend to be.

I never can figure out how we got on the topic we are on.

But we're here.

And she says, "Sometimes I think love is a biological urge. Other times it seems like a spiritual quality. Love, unlike energy or matter, seems limitless."

Robots are funny.

I wish I lived in 1969.

1950 was great too. You wouldn't believe how much I learned from this advertisement for sanitary napkins!

My politics
Love everyone.

No killing.

No war.

No crime.

Be nice.

My politics don't really work.

But they're mine.

On the subject of purple hearts:

If you get injured on the front line, you receive a purple heart.

My grandfather turned down a purple heart when he cut himself while putting up a tent.

All you have to do is get injured on the front line. So don't go into this "being an idiot…jumping in front of bullets" thing because you can get one from cutting yourself on a tent.

It doesn't even matter. Who cares who did what or was in where?

My opinion is that Bush needs to be ousted. Are you any better off than you were four years ago? Is the country any better off? Then why re-elect a guy who didn't help at all?

And that's all I have to say about that for probably forever. This is why I don't talk about these things. You will probably never hear from me on this topic ever again.

I love you all.

P.S. Jackie, you're my new best friend.

P.P.S. I wouldn't trust FOX News if they said the apocalypse was imminent. They're run by not only a bunch of conservatives but also the man.

WARNING: VASTLY OPINIONATED POLITICAL ENTRY AHEAD!
PROCEED WITH CAUTION!

I'm not one to talk about religion or politics, even in casual conversation, so when I have an entry like this, you know it's something I feel strongly about.


I wish I could vote this year.

I turn 18 at the end of January, missing the election by three months. (Or two, depending on how you count things.)

I don't feel too frustrated when I compare myself to Ben. His birthday is the 8th of November, six days after the election.

I guess my point is that I was tolerant of Bush's reign of stupidity and lies politics for a while.

My mom is one to strongly support and tell her views so she began to tell me about all of her conspiracy theories. At first, I didn't believe a word but as everything she predicted when Bush was elected came true...

And the things that drive me now to make this entry are trivial compared to most points you will probably shove in my face but these are the things that have got me mad. These are the things that have got me wanting and craving to be able to vote.

Point one: the war in Iraq. Really, that's all I'm going to say on the subject. I don't want to offend people and I don't want to start some huge discussion.

Point two: the revelation that the Pentagon "inadvertently destroyed" the papers noting Bush's service in the Texas Air National Guard. I'm no conspiracy theorist and I'm sorry but it seems all too convenient that all of a sudden (before the election) the papers talking about where the president (who is running for re-election) was during his service in the military (during which he deserted) are "inadvertently destroyed". Hm. That just doesn't make sense to me.

Point three: talk of delaying the election because of possible terrorist attack. Are you fucking kidding me!? The president of the United States (running for re-election) thinks there is going to be (conveniently) a terrorist attack disrupting our "democratic process". Don't make me puke my guts out, please! That's too much.

I can't understand what politicians expect the American people to believe!
Injustice and liars make me mad. Politicians make me mad. I could never do that.

So now you all can yell at me and tell me how I'm wrong and blah de blah.

I don't like making entries like this but I thought that hey, it's my journal, it's there for expressing my opinions.

Plus I wanted to rile people up.

I think I'll cry if Bush gets re-elected.

On a happy non-political note: my brother is playing Tales of Symphonia and he has to sneak through this group of people. He was so unsuccessful, he wouldn't survive a minute playing MGS.

I love you all.

Ninja pirates shall rule the world!
I can be such a spoiled brat sometimes that it makes me sick.

I was not in a good mood earlier today and I took it out on just about everyone, including (when I called him) Nick. Yarr. Not good. It makes me mad when I'm so horrible like that.

On the upside, I made a toothbrush bracelet and hung out with Ben and Nick.

The bracelet isn't that great but it was the first time I had ever done it. I need to bend it a little more.

Oh but it was fun! If anyone wants a bracelet, give me a toothbrush and I'll make you one.

Hanging out with Ben and Nick was, as always, very much fun.

In the end, I have a Jones soda and all is good with the world.

I love you all.

I can love but I need his heart...
Lamb has some of the most beautiful music ever. The lyrics are fantastic and the music is hauntingly beautiful.

It gives me goosebumps.

It's just the thing to tide me over until The Cranberries crank out a new CD.

Gorecki sounds like a great make out song and Gabriel is just pretty.

I've needed a new obsession.

I love you all.

P.S. I love rain!

I love it when a one hour thing turns into a four hour ordeal. I was ornery but it was something to do. I liked it.

But now I'm bored again. I need to go somewhere and do something.

Whatever uppers my mom is on makes her not only creepily happy but also gives her a total disregard for anyone and anything that happens around her.

But here I am complaining about stupid trivial things.

We're all going to get our teeth cleaned at noon. That gives us a little under half an hour to complain to my mom that she's wasting our summer and freak out because we have to get dressed.

Yarr.

I love you all.

I'm so eloquent...
Everyone, right now, listen.

Nick's grandfather has lung cancer. His mom got laid off the other week and...she's not doing that great. His grandmother is sort of not good either.

So please, if you could, pray for Nick and his family. Or keep them in your thoughts. Or do a dance for them. Or whatever.

Thanks.

I love you all.

I love this movie.
What do you write on the back of pictures with? Every pen I try works for a bit then stops. I don't want it to rub off either...




Don't talk of stars burning above
If you're in love
Show me!
Tell me no dreams filled with desire
If you're on fire
Show me!



Haven't your lips
Longed for my touch
Don't say how much
Show me!
Show me!

Everyday is like Sunday
Everyday is silent and gray.

I don't like not having anything to do. It was too hot out to walk anywhere.

So I read part of a book I've read one thousand times that always makes me cry. Not this part specifically but the whole book in its entirety.

And at 5 something we went out to eat with my dad's friends or reps. I don't know exactly why we went out to dinner with them or how we know them. They're nice though.

And now I'm sitting here talking to two people on the messenger and reading various webcomics.

I hate having nothing to do.

I talked to Katie earlier and I realized that I don't really have anyone to hang out with. I want to go downtown and wander around. Usually when I do that, I walk up to Katie's or Ben's and sometimes even stop by Kyle's. But Katie's not back until the 8th, Ben's not back until Tuesday and Kyle's not back until who knows when.

Kelly's in Wisconsin, Jackie's always hanging out with Matador and Brett's grounded.

So really, when you think about it, it's just me and Nick. But he lives far enough out of the way that I can never get over there.

I think that's enough of a reason to get my license.

I wonder how Brigitte's doing.

I've blabbed enough for now.

My mind is just a crutch
And I still hope
That you will miss me when I'm gone

I love you all.
