today i got back from camping down at mark twain with ethan and jack. interesting time. I had one of those coozie cup things for my beverages with a string attached to it so i was wearing it around my neck and trying to get firewood at the same time. I came back with bits of wood all over my shirt as well as spilled beer (the idea to wear the cup around my neck was better in theory). so the quote of the day was...
Jack: "well if you have anything on your shirt other than a logo, be glad its crumbs and beer, that way you know you're having a good time"

:: Music: saul williams, fearless

its just how i feel...
Fearless

I don't know whether to laugh or cry
and I don't know whether to live or die
I kept my love for her locked deep inside
it cuts like a knife
she's out of my life
out of my life, out of my hair
out of my mind, there's no love in there
I move on, move on

dear God, I wasn't breast fed
and most of my conversations with men seem to revolve around
music
I'm no musician but the pain has been instrumental
my sense finally tune the instruments of - of - of
of being lonely, of being lost, of being loved, of being human
man I could use a metaphor but I can't get beyond this shit
I could use someone to talk to
but most of my conversations with men seem to revolve around
music

I am a poet who composes what the world proses
and proses what the world composes

I am a poet who composes what the world proses
and proses what the world composes

damned indescion and cursed pride

I kept my love for her locked deep inside
and I don't know what to do
to get it through to you
get out of my life tonight
get out of my life
out of my life, out of my hair
out of my mind, 'cause no lovin' fair
I move on, move on

she had nothing but time on her hands
silver rings, turquoise stones and purple nails
I rub my thumb across her palm
a featherbed where slept a psalm
yay though I walked, I used to fly, and now we dance
I watch my toenails blacken and walk a deadened trance
'til she woke me with the knife edge of her glance
I have the scars to prove the clock strikes with her hands

and I don't know what to do
to get it through to you
and I don't know what to do
to get it through
out of my life, out of my hair
out of my mind, 'cause no lovin' fair
I move on, move on, I move on

so frustrated... been waiting patiently to meet someone else who...
-appreciates that bukowski is my favorite author
-doesnt think its wierd that i may bite their lip while i am kissing them
-likes to drink as much as i do
-understands that 'stand for what you stand on' is my form of religion
-doesnt cringe with disgust when i say that i dont have a problem not showering for two weeks
-hates body hair. i hate body hair. when can i meet another guy that actually likes to shave his body hair?
-knows that just because i can obtain almost any drug in a period of 24 hours doesnt mean i do drugs anymore
-loves 'croupier', 'braveheart', or 'wet hot american summer' at least half as much as i do
-thinks that the fact that i accidentally broke the "G" off the new belgium brewery sign in colorado is amazing
-doesnt profess an undying hatred for ben harper, indigo girls, ani difranco, keller williams, bright eyes, RHCP, or anything on 96.3 (khits)
-is willing to skip school/work to run away, buy beer, go roam the flood wall or castlewood or laumier or go bouldering or biking or throw the disc around

must go, list not finished.

just one more thing before i go... theres never been anyplace quite like this home
my place of employment flooded! spent yesterday and the day before cleaning everything and if i have to vacuum the babypool anymore i might cut you. if im lucky i can get a headguard shift up at kwood tonight and make up some hours.

I got "dry" by augusten burroughs and i cant put it down.

i went to his house and watched wet hot american summer which was just the mindless activity i needed. during the viewing, she finally called me, i smiled the whole time and i appreciate how cool she is (when she actually does return my calls). shit i cant think.

soul to squeeze
fuckshit! i dont know why i said that it just flew out, with velocity. the annual trip to the lake with him is off because he has to finish building the deck with his dad for jens graduation party. so instead, i've decided to drive down to columbia for the weekend and stay with lindsey. it will be about 1/2 the time it took me to drive to springfield, by myself, in the snow over winter break. hope everyone has a good time celebrating centuries of american ignorance.

note to self: making out in drive ways is a bad idea. mothers are subject to come home unexpectedly and catch you in the act which then leads to relentless teasing.

so that boy joe and i are officially eachothers. it all went down at the 311 concert tonight. which was a damn good show by itself, having the boy i've been after become my boy was just an awesome added perk. i have a new love for the song "down."

i'll continue later. i am one tired girl. i'll be sleeping sweet, believe you me.

these summer nights only bring rain and heartache.
the events that have taken place in fenton, missouri this weekend have been absolutely ridiculous. parts of some nights were fantastic, and others i wish i could just erase from my memory all together. on the good side, that boy and i finally kissed. and I made the move. THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is a first. believe you me. just a sweet kiss goodbye, nothing more nothing less. it was however, completely perfect.
on a not so hot note, i ended my night tonight angry at some of my friends and with dave hickman bawling in my arms. seeing him cry was just, bizaar. he's not an easy person to crack, but i suppose learning your ex girlfriend may have been cheating on you towards the end of your relationship could have that effect. not to mention that she blatently lied about having another guy over tonight. i haven't seen dave in a good three months. tonight we just happen to run into eachother, talk for a while, exchange phone numbers, twenty minutes later i'm watching him crumble in my arms. i love dave, he's an amazing person and seeing him like that made me want to cry with him. i remember when i first met him and started to have this huge crush on him. i was the new, nervous sophmore and he was the wise crackin' senior everyone loved. that's all it ever was, and i never really thought we'd be close friends. a few months down the line, i'm the person he's coming to for relationship help. it's crazy how things work out. he called me again about an hour ago just to talk. i have a feeling i'll be seeing a lot more of dave. he's good people, i'm glad to know him because his character is so genuine. i like that. i like that a lot.
going back to that boy. joe, is his name. he's still confusing me like i never thought possible. i thought i was so sure of what i wanted. i was so proud of my self last night. and today, sitting in my car he whispered, "come here" and pulled me towards him only to kiss me like i haven't been in much too long of a time. i've kissed plenty of boys, some meaningful, most were just added to my list of regrets. but this one. this joe hart character, to be this caught up about it isn't like me. i think i'm falling in like and i know i'm lovin' every minute of it.

so you think you can tell... heaven from hell...
shes gone and i didnt even get to see her before she left. i didnt want a straight summer without her- take that as you will. i hope im not scheduled to work this weekend, its pridefest yo.

as for the other gender, his parents are out of town and we we are supposed to booze it up at some point. i just miss wasting my time with him.

on the agenda: roadtrip to springfield, mo. tentative trip to cali to see sophie and jackie. detox.

he makes me feel beautiful
me and this boy, we're always together. it all started out as good friends. and we still are, but i think there might be more to the story now. i know there is on my part, but he makes me wonder sometimes. he looks at me like no one ever has. he'll hold my hand and play with my hair. he'll tickle me or slip his arms around my waist or shoulders. we disagree with eachother and fight in a way that reminds me of an old married couple. i'm not entirely sure why we do it, we're never actually mad at eachother, just have no problem arguing. he always smells like cigarette smoke with a hint of calogne mixed in. a scent i always take home with me. his musical taste is beautiful, which has made us official concert buddies. he's kind of awkward and says his s's funny, but in an adorable, cute way. if we're not together, i find myself constantly wondering what he's up to, if he's thought about me that day. he has the ability to make me feel happy and carefree. but he also drives me absolutely crazy sometimes and i wonder why i put up with it. and then i remember it's because i'm absolutely crazy about him.

hog wild
our relationship seemingly falling apart at the seams.

that's it.
our grandmothers were not seamstresses.
my mother has been in and out of relationships
since she was 15.
and here she is today-50 and alone. what does she think about at night? when she closes her eyes to black and swirling conor does she have anything to hope for? i am hopeless and 17. i would not like to live like this.

another tepid simile
to add to my collection
of humdrum rhetoric
i am fading away.

a spiral
starting at the center
of the space in between
you and me
spinning
circling
out of control
out of orbit

i. am. dead.

a decision has been made
a line crosses the spiral
shoots out into the space between
our hot bodies
radiating a heat
that is blinding

i. step. back.
crawling
on all fours
i have stopped wishing
to walk.
i have stopped showing you
i am capable.

I'm. not. capable.

you can leave if you want
a dusty glimmer shining in your wake
ill watch you leave
and i will warn you
not to come back.

i am the one stuck here
i am the bag on the train
stuffed full of souvenirs
except
intentionally forgotton
the baby on a doorstep
a bra on the floor after a one-night stand.

we cannot go back
to what we had
one year ago today.
we have digressed.
doesn't that mean anything
abotu the distance?

i. am. not. sorry.
