"When I say I need it there early, Brown delivers it there first thing"
quote from a UPS calendar at my work, after I read it, I laughed and immediately thought of you. (you know who you are) take care good buddy.

if you plan on reading any book for pleasure any time soon i would suggest "warriors dont cry" by melba beals. it was excellent, its about the integration of little rock central high school.
i think i grew like an inch of hair on my legs while reading the last couple of chapters bc i had chills the whole time

haha kids, here we go
How many Michigan college students does it take to change a light bulb?
At Michigan State it takes two thousand. One to change the bulb, and the other one thousand nine hundred ninety nine to riot and set it on fire.
At Grand Valley State and Alma it takes ten, one to change the bulb and the other nine to sit around and watch because it is the big entertainment of the evening.
At Central Michigan it takes nine. One to screw it in and the other eight just screw each other in celebration.
At Wayne State it takes zero. Who wants to be in Detroit after dark anyway?
At Albion it takes zero. They have Mommy and Daddy pay someone to do it for them.
At Macomb it takes zero, they live at home, mom and dad control the lights.
there that should cover everyone who reads this..

when you're ripe
henrich ibsen is my new hero.
read hedda gabler.
books have got to be the greatest thing to ever happen to the world.
when i was a kid i started reading everything i could get my hands on. by second grade i was done with beverly cleary and betsy byars. so i wanted bigger better books. by fourth grade i'd read 7 shakespeares, ivanhoe, 12 mercedes lackey books, moby dick, jane eyre, little women, pride and prejudice... creepy little kid, huh?
picture little faygo, sitting on a minature rocking chair, feet won't reach the floor, reading a book bigger than my head.
it happened every day for years.
my brother thought i was sick. he yelled at me, then went whining to my mom that i wasn't right in the head. "what kinda kid sits in her room and reads for fun? why won't she go to her friends' houses? why won't she watch TV?"
the more he wanted me to be like him, the more i wanted to read. i've always been stubborn.
the truth is...
i wanted to be smarter than my brother. i thought if i was smarter than him, i might have a chance, might be a worthy competitor for the love, affection and attention of our parents. my father noticed, and he taught me other things, things i didn't learn from reading my books. somehow, my brother was still ahead. so i read even more.
it didn't work. oh well.
eventually, i figured out that i wasn't gonna get what i was after by reading. so i started figuring, i have to start looking for answers. and when i figured that, i figured, i need some questions. and so it began.
questions. my whole life revolves around questions. in everything i do, everything i say, i always have questions. and the more questions i came up with, the easier it got for me to find my answers in the world of literary giants. and i won't stop asking my questions. answers mean nothing if you didn't ask the question.
i found a lot of answers. not just in literature like the kind i stuck to as a kid, but elsewhere. i can listen to other people, and i can learn what i want to learn from them. most of the time i seem kinda spaced out, but i still listen.
i love it when other people, people around me, also have questions. if i have the answers they're looking for, i can share them. if i share the questions, then we can look for answers together. i'm not very good alone, it seems. i never really thought about that.
books.
i love books because
the truth is
books give me questions. they make me want to look for answers. books won't make me smart, books won't make me loved, books won't make me special. they'll just make me want to learn. then they'll help me learn, because even when we're looking for answers, books won't give them to us, they'll just sort of, tell us where to find them.
books. they're the greatest thing to ever happen to this world.

good motto to live by:
"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO" what a ride!"

yesterday
yesterday was a fun day, other than class that is, and class wasnt even bad, my first class we got sent back from early bc no one had read (down side we have a quiz monday) and my second one we just had a discussion about title 9. then i came back to my room, hung out for a little while and then me and my roommate (katherine or KT for short) went to the dow and played basketball for like an hour, then played tennis, and it was a lot of fun bc we're pretty equal at both, shes probably a little better than me at bball (shes on the team, and is therefore in better bball condition) and im a little better at tennis, but its more fun when youre close to equal. then we ate and came back and did wahtever, it was a good day.
oh yeah when we were going back inside to return the tennis raquet kt had to borrow the entire football team was comming out and the first one out was derek. and i had never done this before but for some reason i started like giggling (lame) it was crazy!

the most beautiful morning in the world
Today is the first day of the rest of your life.
and you wasted the beautiful morning sleeping.
then you wasted noontime walking around in your pajamas, cursing at your family.
by midday, you've achieved nothing. you haven't even stepped outside to enjoy the breeze. what a waste. what a waste.
have you ever noticed how beautiful people look in sunlight? sunlight is the most natural and astounding form of beautification known to humankind. in the sunlight, hair seems to be alive, like an independent entity, its own form of beauty. the way you squint a little in the sun, and shade your eyes with your hands. it's staggeringly beautiful. the colour of your eyes gets lighter, and they look like water in the sun.
this morning, i woke up, stood on my balcony and watched the boys from upstairs swim in the pool downstairs. russians, 3 brothers. 19, 17, 12. the oldest one just sort of sat around and read, every once in a while he'd look up and check on his brothers. he was acting like a parent. it was the most charming thing i'd seen in a long time.
a relationship is something between equals. when you're a 14, 15 year old housekeeper, you kinda look for responsibility in your relationships. it's what suckers me, someone who can carry their own weight. i admire a man who can be home alone all weekend and not trash the place, get arrested and lose his virginity in 15 minutes. it's kinda rare. sucks.
but back to beautiful mornings.
mornings like this i kinda wish we had green grassy hills to lie down on, and flowers over your head with clouds that look like famous people. then i wish there's someone there who'll point them out and laugh at you when all you see in them is matt bellamy. laugh at me.
i wish the whole world could be awake every morning and do that. the whole world should wake up on beautiful mornings, find someone nice and lie down on grassy hills with flowers over their heads and look at the clouds that look like famous people. or if you're in kuwait, go out to one of those nice lonely areas, where it's windy and lie on top of the car and watch the clouds go by. everyone should.
the most phenomenal things in the world happen in the morning. sunrise. birds. flowers bloom. that perfect light that makes everyone beautiful. the clouds. and everyone's asleep. what a waste. what a waste.
what a waste.

:: Mood: sad
my feelings for everyone to see
Weezer10GK: thats my new philosophy, if people want to hang out with me they have to call me, bc im sick of always being the person who calls people bc im bored out of my mind, and its a good way to see who your real friends are
Weezer10GK: bc the ones who realize youre not calling call you and want to do stuff
Weezer10GK: the ones who dont probably were annoyed you were calling them or didnt want to hang out with you in the irst place
guajiragoddess: hehe yeah. but i always tell people, "dont feel bad, im not ignoring you and calling 10000 other people. i dont call anyone at all"
Weezer10GK: lol
guajiragoddess: sorry if i never called you
guajiragoddess: i'm a hermit
guajiragoddess: i cut grass and play with matty and morgan
guajiragoddess: thats all i do
Weezer10GK: thats alright, at least you have an excuse
Weezer10GK: i think last year when you and laurence got closer it kinda made me mad bc it felt like i was losing him to you, so i got mel and janet. but in the long run i think it worked out better bc i have more in common with them than i do with dork. me and janet and mel all listen to the same music....everything leaning towards punk mostly, and we have basically the same morals, hang out with the same people (church people) where as me and dork now really only have our past and our morals in common, i dont listen to interpol, and stuff like that anymore, i mean of course i like nirvana and bush and all that still, but i dont know too much "modern rock"
Weezer10GK: now criag just kinda dumped everything he knew/believed/liked before and adopted everything meaghan, so now all we have is 80's music and our past
Weezer10GK: so i feel like all my best friends have been stolen from me
Weezer10GK: not that i havent changed at all, bc i have, but just not as much/obviously
guajiragoddess: aw nic
Weezer10GK: there, thats whats wrong with me
Weezer10GK: and i hope my roommate doesnt coem back any time soon bc i have tears pouring down my face
guajiragoddess: nicole!
Weezer10GK: and over the summer, i would for sure saymy best friend was jeff stein from church, but hes only a jr in hs, so he's at home and has all his school stuff to do now and stuff like that, i mean i still talk to him online and on the phone but thats about all
Weezer10GK: danielle!
guajiragoddess: why didnt you talk to us about this before?
Weezer10GK: bc i hold everything in till i blow up
Weezer10GK: thats my style
Weezer10GK: it sucks but i cant help it
Weezer10GK: bc when im with everyone and when i would say something we would be doing something cool and i didnt want to wreck the good time
guajiragoddess: but we love you
Weezer10GK: and now i feel like i dont ave a best friend at all, bc you and dork are, craig and meg, janet and mel, adam and ryan
Weezer10GK: nicole and _______
guajiragoddess: aw, i dont really have a best friend, seriously, its not that important...everyone hangs out with everyone
guajiragoddess: i mean think about it, i didnt have a "best friend" all through high school
Weezer10GK: but it is important for me bc i dont just share my feelings/emotions/shit with anyone, i tell one person and thats how i get it off my chest so i dont blow up, before i would tell dork, then craig, now no body so now i just blow up like last night. it might not be important to you, but i have a reason why its important to me
Weezer10GK: its not about hanging out with someone a lot
Weezer10GK: its about talking
guajiragoddess: ah
Weezer10GK: and i cant talk to anyone
guajiragoddess: you can talk to me
guajiragoddess: you dont have to label
me "best friend" to be able to do that
Weezer10GK: i know i can talk to any of my friends and they would listen, but i just cant, i dont know why i just cant
guajiragoddess: i'm probably the most open-minded liberal you'll ever find....
Weezer10GK: i know and thats why i dont talk to you bc its probably harder for you to understand the meaning behind some of the things i woudl say bc you are so open minded and im not
guajiragoddess: lol
guajiragoddess: nice point
Weezer10GK: lol, thanks, i know what im talking about ;-)
and if you guys actually read all of this youre awesome....thanks danielle
