I am so floaty right now it's really weird. I'm dying to know what happened tonight with Ray and Aaron. It's 1:45 and i'm thinken her dad might pull a shotgun on me if i called. We're all gettin together tomorrow...heh for good reason of course.

I saw my mom tonight at the Muny. It's strange. Whenever I see her or really anyone perform it makes me miss being on stage so much. I just look and think "damn, that could be me. I could do that." It's like, i don't know even how to describe it. It's what i grew up with, it's what i've always known, and it's like everytime i see a production i'm being re-introduced to something i've known for so long. But hey, i'm rambling and saying things that probably make no sense...but that's just me. I'm known for that.

I really wish i had a fairy. Wouldn't that be cool?

Incubus is coming Sept. 12 and Lisa said she would take me. I"m excited...i finally get to see my future husband in person. Ahh, how nice.

My eyelids are like seriously shutting, but i just don't want to go to sleep. Not just yet. I know i said this last night but it just feels like i still have so much to say. Hmm...

Oh, this is one thing that kinda bugged me today. I talked to Aaron on the phone and he was just so distant from everythinng. I asked what was wrong and he insisted that it was nothing and he was fine. I told him he was different and i think he almost got mad. No, not mad. But confused? Maybe? Who knows. Not me, that's for sure. I'll find out tomorrow, or something.

I have to clean tomorrow. Damn. That's really unfortunate...it is a $100. Hah, and i'm $45 richer from last night...and momma owes me 70 something...i'm in the mulah baby! Wow i'm a freak...i need a swimming suit for Mexico...the one i have now is strapless and that could be a definite bad situation in the ocean.

2:01...damn.

So i've listened to this song 4 times now. It just never gets old. Never. It can mean something different everytime you listen to it and it's always wonderful.

Well i suppose i should go...i have a lot to do tomorrow. I"m going shopping again with my mom...hah. Good, good. Until then...

So I just finished one of the most wonderful books I've ever read. "The Perks of Being a Wallflower." Everyone should read this because no matter who you are you can relate to atelast one of the characters.
Sarah's the one that gave me the book. It was for my birthday. I remember that day so perfectly. We met in the loop in fron tof Blueberry Hill because Lil had to work all day and she didn't have any where to go. I had never eaten there before, but we sat at Sarah's booth. The one she always sits at. And we talked for what seemed like ever. We talked about Lowell, and Taylor. I asked about Mike, which i think i should just stop doing. We talked about Aaron, and i talked about how Alumni went. And how Charlie and I seem to hate eachother one minute but can't stop flirting the next. And it was just so pefect. She handed me a Charlotte's Web bag and i just looked at her. And she told me it was my birthday present. So i opened it and found the book, a harmonica, magnetic poetry and watercolors. She said i had to read it to understand. I understand now.
After we had walked around the Loop for a good three hours and went to every story possible and got our hemp we walked back to Lil's. She had red shorts and and she told me how she had always wanted a pair of red pants, and one day she was at Old Navy and saw them. And ya know, i was glad she got her red pants.
So we get to Lil's and on the way we saw the Katie's and Shelley going where we had just come from. And i reminded Katie S. that she owed me 15 bucks. Strange the things you remember huh?
When we get to Lil's she isn't home from work yet so we went and sat on the "field" and people watched. And we talked again. And we tried to make necklaces and bracelts with our hemp, but we didn't have any scissors so it didn't work out too well. We watched Lil's dad take Sammy for a walk and light up a cigarette even though he swears to Lil he quit smoking cigs.
Lil finally came home and she called us freaks for not going in the house and i just laughed and thought how perfect the day was. About how much of a Lillian thing that is to say. The rest of the night really wasn't much. They made me try putting a slice of Provolone cheese on my Dorritos which i surprisingly liked. Sarah and I made our necklaces and braceletts and Lil watched and ate her chips and we were all just there. Together not caring about how we looked, not trying to impress anyone. Just being there was enough. And I realized how much i love being with the two of them because nothing ever matters. They will always be there for me no matter how much of an ass i can make of myself. They'll take care of me. And i hope they know that i'll always take care of them too.
But that day was way back in June. And things have complicated since then. So many things have happened, and so many things have been so un-perfect it makes me sad.
Sarah and Aaron have talked and they're "back on track" and are going to see eachother Sunday. Which is good. They'll talk and everything will be ok again. I'd like to think i helped make it ok considering i was the one that made it un-ok in the first place. I've talked to Aaron twice online and it just seemed so awkward. He called today but i wasn't home and i was almost glad i didn't talk to him. Because i don't want to make anything un-ok for her or anyone again. I can be ok with me being un-ok, but not anyone else, not if it's my fault.
Ray and i have this insane plan for Monday. I can't believe it's going to happen, or that i'll actually be doing it, but hell. I need a little excitement every once in a while.
I feel so ranfom right now. It's almost 3:00 a.m and i wish the night would last forever. My fingers are flying and i can't seem to stop. I love the songs that's playing right now...actually i just love Dashboard...wow i'm not on any focus right now.
I guess i should call Aaron tomorrow. He did leave a message so I should probably return it. Today was good though. I went to the mall with Meg who can always make me laugh and forget everything. She makes me feel like i'm 7 again and i love it. I went to a party tonight too. No, i take that back. They were only eight people there, but it was just enough. Zach barbecued for us and his mom made us brownies and i felt like i was at a birthday party. It was good seeing everyone again. I hadn't talked more or less seen most of them since Almuni.
Lauren's still the insanse firecracker she's always been. Matt got glasses and i must say it makes him look alot better. Zach's still the big brother who's always looking out for everyone. David. Poor David. He's so attention starved it makes me sad. Katie just maked me laugh and Evan's still the overly horny little child that everyone loves.And then there's Meg. AKA my Genie friend, and my best friend out of that hell hole.
I feel really cheap though. And not for any deep or spiritual reason. For some reason the girls decided to run around topless, but we were back and in the dark and no one could see us. Well somehow the guys got to talking about paying us to flash them. Well the pot got up to 45 bucks. So we all stood there and they all looked ever so pleased....yea good thing i was the only one that did it. I did get all 45 bucks, but i felt like such a whore. Like i cheapened myself for $45. Heh considering we were only doing it for roughly 11 didn't make me feel much better either.
I told Sarah and she told me I was her hero. That made me laugh. Eh, it's the guys in my class and i'm $45 richer. I guess i shouldn't sweat it too much.

Yea, so i've typed alot and it seems like i still have so much to say. I"m talking to Lowell now, which somehow seems odd to me. It's nice to talk to him because i haven't in so long, but i almost feel like i should just steer clear of all Sarah's guys.
Heh i talked to Nathan yesterday...goddamn that kid's fucked. You can't help but love him though. Heh. Nathan, what a goof.

Yea, so it's 3:30 and i feel like i'm on No Doz or something...funny i haven't had anything at all today.
Hey i haven't had any alchohal since the 4th. Hooray for Allie!

Hmm, Dave Matthews is playing now and i'm so happy. I'm going to the concert in August. It's the same day as my first day of school...eh i'll survive. Hey i'm goin to Less Than Jake too in August, yay! I have to ask Lil if she wants that extra ticket...

Ahh i'm so frustrated, my computer keeps crashing and i'm losing what i haven't saved. I know had alot more then this tped, and it actually made sense but I can't remember at all what it was. That's unfortunate.

The pictures on my walls are starting to dance...heh. Wow.

I'm so random tonight i have no idea what's wrong with me. I'm almost scared to let this end because i don't know how to end it. And i don't want it to be just blunt and without any sort of meaning or closure. That must sound funny coming from a girl who thinks the pictures on her walls are dancing...

I wish I was running in the rain right now. It would help if it was actually raining, but i wish i could. I would run and dance and cartwheel and not care just like i used to with my old friends. My "old friends" that seems so distant and far away. I do miss them so much though. I miss not being one of the "gang" and hanging out at RC. I miss being known as the "Matchmaker" and always knowing what people were talking about. I miss Lizzie and Lauren and i wish I could see what everyone looks like now. And i wish i could yell at George for being so awful to me. But he's paying now. The bitch hasn't passed 7th grade yet..i guess we're even. I wish i could see Tommy. No, i wish i could shake Tommy and ask what the fuck he's done to himself and why. I wish i wish i wish. I wish Jack still knew who i was, and i wish people would recognize me when they saw me. And i wish they wouldn't watch what they say when i'm arround and i wish they would tell me their secrets like they used to. Maybe i'm just wanting or asking too much, but i wish i was still one of them. I wish i was. I really do.

God i feel random. And the pictures on my walls look like they're dancing or moving. My fingers are having troubles pressing down on the keys hard enough. I feel like i'm flying, but there's weights on my hands.
My computer keeps kicking me off and i'm not saving, it did it again so i should probably end this. As i've said beofore i'm almost afraid too because i don't know how it should end. I've said so much and just feel so airy i don't know exactly what to say. I don't want it to be random, it needs to have closure. This must sound very odd coming from a girl who thinks the pcitures on the walls are dancing but that's what i have to say...and so i've said it again...

So i guess i should do it something like this. No no that's all wrong. The truth is i guess i'm out of things to say. My mind is going a mile a minute and so many random thoughts are in my head i should just stop thinking and listen to some music or something. So i guess i'm done now. Yea, that's it.

i want that day back....
.....headwaters with lowell earlier today. other than the fact that it was so fucking hot, it was pretty enjoyable. we walked around.. sat under a willow and played a game and walked some more... only to be followed by a shaky hug that i'm STILL glad i iniciated and a too-long goodbye...
random things that happened:
first thing he says to me when i see him, "you're brown"
i realize right away that i have really missed him this past month.. his smile, his hair, his laugh especially.. the way he looks at me, the way he gets nervous and excited.. all that came back at once when i saw him. but it was a good overwhelming feeling. i just wanted to kiss him right then.
then i started to look closer at him while we walked... how much i used to like him compared to now. how many flaws i overlooked daily..
we started to walk and i had to get my bearings a few times... in shock..
we run into ryan, adam adn brad... well, first we try to run away when we see them, but we end up walking straight into them 10 minutes later. it was so awkward.. adam, who i should have called back, ryan who i haven't seen since we had a fight (about lowell), and decided not to be friends..
awkward is not the word...catastrophic...
we walk a little more and sit under a willow and talk. my willow. finally got him there. all those plans that elyse and i made a month agoo.. here they were...
we ended up playing the "i have never" game and i lost horribly.. 10-6.
i'm in control. finally.
we get up to go walk back for our rides and we get really close for about 20 seconds.. i'm putting on my backpack and i can tell he's questioning whether to kiss mee. whether i want it. and i know i could easily face him and kiss him.. something i've been missing for too long
but something inside of me pushes me to walk out from the willow and away from the kiss... who knows why...
we walk around more and its so comfortable with him, i realize. so easy. so right. so.. exactly what i've been looking for. the funny thing is, i stopped "looking" with lowell probably about a month ago, and now i get hit with findint it.. funny how this worked out...
now we see my mom.. parting is always such sweet sorrow, or something.. we stand, close. i say i had fun.. he makes a sarcastic comment- never drops his guard down, that one-and i open my arms and say "hug"
i realize now how childish that was but it got the job done. we hugged in all our stickiness.. "of course," he says to my "hug" as if he's so glad the physical barrier was finally broken.
"write me?" he says. now its my turn to say "of course".. i realize how much of a constant he is in my life these days and we leave on a joke about ryan but no formal goodbye
i don't look back. i'm very proud of that.
i wonder if he looked back...
i'm so relieved (i wasn't sure it was possible) that we can have just as much fun, without all the physical contact. not that i don't love that stuff with him, i do.. but it makes us both so much more relaxed.. no have-tos, no commitment, just lowell and sarah.
just....2 more weeks till it will "lowell and sarah" in person again...
sigh
aaron got home yesterday, talked to him tonight for awhile, he's supposed to call back..
back to lowell.. i can still smell lowell. not on me necessarily, but around me.. in the air.. cinnamon. cream. i don't know, lowell smell.

ehh.. leave tomorrow for stl for 2 weeks. i should pack. here i go.

its getting hot in herre... no, really, my apt is sizzling...
i can't complete any sort of concrete thought today... i started 82897 different thoughts with elyse, and trailed off to a completely different idea entirely... ahhh... so much is on my mind, and Elyse's for that matter, that thoughts are constantly circling and circulating through my head. this hasbeen one of the worst summers when it comes to circumstance and "raining and pouring" but my summer compared to Elyse's, is child's play.....

hell in the sun....

so many random thoughts.... ahhh... list time...

a. take it back- a is for Adam because that kid is really pissing me off. we meet, have a nice good time, and he STILL is fucking complaining to me, two days later, about this and that... about how he feels i'm the cause of his depression, but only because he has no one else to blame. but its "his problem" he says, not mine. damn right its not my problem, i just started talking to him this week.... i mentioned therapy and he about took my head off... hey just trying to help..
b. But he called 3 times today- i didn't pick up.
c. Cause i'm a horrible person.. no... because i can't take that sort of thing right now...
d. toDay, i went to jp with Elyse, had coffee.. guys tried to pick us up.. i told them we had boyfriends because Elyse refuses to talk to any guys in public that she doesn't know.. and they said they would kick their asses. right, i wanted to give him my number when he said that, let me tell you... good times. i regret not hugging her at the end of the night though.... but she had to jump in Matt's car before he left without her... reasonable excuse.
e. Enough of that... ok, here's the deal with tomrorow. Lowell and i made plans for dinnerish time. and it was all set. finally, a set date with the boy. then he decides to tell me tonight that he has to work tomorrow from 5-8. great working hours, i might add..
f. fuck that. it really makes me kind of sad... just that he waits till the last night i'm in town to plan something and then brings out, once again, his unreliability that i hadn't seen in awhile.
g. God. so i don't know what's happening.. probably something stupid like lunch without so much as a hug. and i'll leave.. unfulfilled. not that i'm expecting anything... but the plans we had were something to look forward to. sigh.
h. i can't think of a word that starts with H... but on another note, i almost threw up after swimming today.. that can't be good... Adam says that type of thing is "physical torture" to oneself.. as if he's the psychotherapist-
He needs one. there's my H.
i. I'm really growing attatched to elyse... i don't know where that thought was going, i think thats the broadside of it
j. Joseph Valley is hot. and he has cool friends. too bad they're all 20.
k. K.. still haven't gotten that phone call from Aaron. he gets back from sanfrancisco tomorrow.. i don't know what to say to him. hey, how have you been? ... shit.
l. Lillian has been out of town for way too long.. and i can't remember when she gets back.
m. mmmk.. what else was circling around my head... once i sit down and try to write it all fades away. john Mayer is already sold out for august, some of the worst news i heard in months.. i'm still sad from that...
n. Nathan's birthday was yesterday.. i don't think i'll be giving him a "present" anytime soon.
o. Oh- that reminds me, i just got a present for Ben today for this bday next week. on my low budget i bought him a map of the usa, and some red shiny stars. i got the map out and marked all these places i want to "visit with him," or so the card says... ahh... my creative side fluorishes when all i have is 38 cents in my wallet.
p. i'm realizing now that i don't think i'm going to finish this list... actually i started to realize it around H, but thought maybe i could have a stroke of genius, or at least something semi-interesting would float through my brain.
q. nothing has.
r. so maybe i should sleep. i have to get up in 9 hours to swim for an hour, and last night i got next to no sleep, sitting up, stairing at the ceiling, and the tile in the bathroom.
s. did you know that there are 28 tiles in my bathroom? not counting the 12 half tiles that line the edges....
t. damnit, i almost told elyse about my bi-ness tonight. she's one of those types that i'm sure how she'll react. i'm sure she'll be ok with it- but maybe not ever fully except it, or do the same things she normally would around me. like sleep in the same bed when i spend the night, or randomly sit on my lap during a boring lunch period... those are things she doesn't even consider write now, and she shouldn't, but she would if i told her.
u. i'll tell her. eventually. no, soon.
v. it could be a catastrophe when she visits if she starts to find out a bunch of stuff about me that she never knew through random comments and conversations i have with other people. yeah, i should tell her.
w. ok, now i think you've noticed i'm just rambling on for the sake of finishing this damn list. i Want some alcohol right now... or a nice big feather bed.. all white.. and some apples and honey. i'm hungry... did i eat dinner?
x. i can't wait to come back to stl. a week is much too long here in the summer with nothing to do but swim.
y. yeah.
z. finally... sigh.. i need some sleep. here i go. hah. sleep won't come with aaron and allie and lowell and elyse and adam on my mind.... they take up way too much space. one alone could take up a whole night's sleep. that coffee i had not too long ago probably didn't help, either. damn the man.

rebound off of we....
.... the warmth here is unbearable. adam and i sat at panera outside, and were almost overtaken by the heat-- it felt like a third person was with us, always there, whispering in our ears... pressing and pressing down... and there was no way to get away from it.
we sat and talked for 2 hours. he kept apoligizing. i told him we'd take a roadtrip to stlouis sometime and he got so excited. i'm just not used to these kind of people. my mind is running so fast, my thoughts aren't even linked together anymore.. just a melodic slew of randomness. randomness is my life these days.
