The man behind Neutral Milk Hotel, Jeff Mangum, is a genius.
Pedro the Lion is also a genius. You've got to admit that the rhythm and timing of Rapture perfectly captures sex.

I don't know how much of you know about the "nightwalkers," the tens of thousands of children in Uganda who "fear abduction by the Lord's Resistance Army, leave their villages every day to seek refuge in town before nightfall."
There's a nationwide sleep-in protest planned for today and one of the locations is here in Grand Rapids.
Hannah and I are going, so if you want to come too, call me before 6 tonight. Here are the details. They tell you what to bring and stuff.
Some people are walking from GVSU/Allendale to this thing and, rumor has it, some people are walking from Hope/Holland too. The goal is to walk at least a mile so you're commuting (a little bit) like the nightwalkers. I think the people I'm meeting up with (Emily) are going to walk from Aquinas.
Oh, it's at Rosa Park's Circle, I don't think I mentioned that.
If you want to come, call me before 6 tonight.
I love you all.

It's Friday!
Today my sister has her choir dinner theatre. I'm excited. She said the choreography is horrid so I'm looking forward to laughing with her. Or at her. Ha ha. She's a good sport.
I am hot. Wink wink, nudge nudge. It is very warm and beautiful outside. I am excited for spring. However, I am quite distraught because all the trees in my yard are the only kind of trees that don't have leaves on them right now.
The kids who're in France right now are coming back on the 28th of May. So it looks like I will be gone for 5 months. I'm going to France! Sometimes I forget all about it and it just surprises me. I am scared shitless. I will be GOING TO SCHOOL in a FOREIGN COUNTRY where all the classes will be taught in a language OTHER THAN THE ONE I HAVE BEEN SPEAKING SINCE BIRTH and one that I have FIVE YEARS of experience in. Yeah, I'm freaked out.
Lalalala.
I have exams next week and then I am done with my first year of college. Excitement!
I love you all.
P.S. Jessa, now I see what you mean about his family. She's being a poopyhead and you should just kill kick her. I was going to leave her a nasty message but that wouldn't be nice. I'm trying to resist the temptation.

I have to leave for class soon. I leave 20 mins early from the library. Which is pointless. Whatever. I'm weird about always having to have the same exact seat in my classes. I got to religion uber early yesterday and this girl had already taken my seat. >.< I swear, they're all out for me. Not cool.
I want to go to Caribou and talk. Not to myself, with someone. Not with someone I usually talk to either. I want something different. I want sleep. I want motivation. I want organization (?? I don't know either) I want to....I don't know. I want to eat without feeling like I should go puke. I want to be hungry and not worry about how much I've already eaten. I want to do homework and not have it take me two hours when it really only needs 30 mins.
It's not worth it, really. That's not a healthy thought, but I know that's how I look at it. I don't even know why I'm doing this.
I've discovered that the way I think is not normal.
All is folks that.

I'm really tempted [odd use of the word] to go to mass on Sunday.

But Hannah says rumor has it that they don't let you touch the communion wafer with your hands anymore.
(doot dee doot doot!)
And I don't want to throw a fit.

But I'm pretty sure it's not the 70's.

And I can put my own gosh darned host in my mouth.

Um. I think that's it.

Anyway, I'm done. My hand hurts and for some reason, I didn't just copy and paste the tune of my song.
I love you all.
P.S. I've started using the phrase "snakes on a plane" as a screenwriter says he started using it: "Somewhere in between 'C'est la vie', 'Whattya gonna do?' and 'Shit happens' falls my new zen koan: 'Snakes on a Plane'.
WIFE: Honey you stepped in dog poop again.
ME: Snakes on a Plane...
DOCTOR: Your cholesterol is 290. Perhaps you want to mix in a walk once in a while.
ME: Snakes on a Plane...
WIFE: Honey while you were on your cholesterol walk you stepped in dog poop again."
Yeah. Like that.
Loves.

Why I called 911: A Story
Actually, this will be pretty brief.
I did not have French class today because we have our oral exams this week. I also did not have my business class today because today is a "research day." The only class I had was Cultural Anthropology, which began at 1:40.
So I got off to a late start and when I went to leave, I noticed a wire going from the telephone pole in our neighbor's yard to a point in front of our mailbox. I glanced over to the telephone pole and noticed that all the wires running from that pole across the street on Peachtree were hanging down low.
After much debate on who to call, I finally ended up calling 911. I didn't use the house phone because it turned out that the wire in the middle of the road was our telephone service. I used my cell phone to dial 911 and after being transfered told the guy I didn't know who to call but this was what was up. He said they'd contact the people who fix things like that and it would get fixed.
After over an hour, I called Cannon Township. Their non-emergency line is apparently the firestation. I talked to the fireman and he told me that he had put yellow flags on the power lines that were hanging down and contacted the telephone company. This was at about 9 and the telephone company said they'd be around in 4 hours. I asked the fireman if they were safe to drive under (and if the one ON THE GROUND WITH WIRES SHOWING was safe to drive over or around). He said the sagging ones were about 6 feet off the ground and there were higher points that I could drive under. He also said the one on the ground was safe but to be sure, I shouldn't drive on the part WITH WIRES HANGING OUT. I thanked him and hung up.
I eventually got up the courage and left because I still had my one class and then work. I decided not to go to Anthro because it really doesn't matter. I might be late to work.
All in all, it was pretty exciting. I thought I was going to get killed. I took pictures so I'll post those later, when I get home.
Even though it wasn't an emergency, I hope that's the last time I have to call 911.
I love you all.

Hunger
World forests was canceled today. Pretty cool that I get some time off, but sucky that I came all the way down here and woke up fucking early just to sit in the library.
More good news! I have a week more to read for world forests now. That's awesome. Quite. I'm still going to try to finish it for Thursday, just to keep up with my schedule, but if I don't it won't be the end of the world. And I get Friday off!
It only sucks that I couldn't have gotten this break later in the quarter when I'm actually swamped with homework. Oh well. Any break is okay with me.
Been uber frustrated lately. For many reasons. My mother is being my mother again, which you all hopefully know what that means. I'm only in my third week of school while everyone else is getting ready for finals and I know the work is just going to pile on anytime now.
I have to start looking for another job soon. Still be at the tree on weekends just because. I was thinking maybe Yardhouse because Jorie's there and possibly the Kimis, but I don't really want to work with my sister. Too much tension in the house that I don't want to bring to work. Which sucks. If Kimis works there, I'll miss out on a whole bunch of fun times and then Jorie and Kimis will be friends with my sister and the world will be even weirder. I don't like weird.
Once again, oh well. Accept and move on. That's life.
If anyone knows of a job that'll pay me uber money, tell me. That'd be quite awesome, thanks. :-)
I've been rethinking things recently. Decisions I've made and shit. And yeah, I realized how horrible I feel because of them. No one's fault but mine, but I need to refocus.
Focus on school and work. I need money and I need to do homework. I need to raise my GPA to atleast a 3.5. Right now it's at 3.35. So I need to get my butt in motion.
It's tough. I know it's important to get money and to get good grades, but I also think it's important to have fun. You know? I don't want to become one of those people who focus all on school and lose sight of their lives. That would not be good. What's the point of life if you're not enjoying yourself?
I don't know. I don't even know what I'm fucking doing anymore.
I'm proud of myself though. I've thought things over and I'm much more firm in my beliefs and such. I don't want to get drunk. I just don't want to do it. Plus, nothing is more fun than watching and talking to drunk people. It's true.
I don't think I'm better than anyone, I promise. I just don't want to do it.
Maybe I'll apply at the library. They close no later than 9 every night, 5 on Sundays. That means I would still have a social life sometimes. Just not during the day, which kind of sucks.
I don't knoooow. So fucking hungry. Grrrrargh. Can't eat until 11:50 though. Sad, I know.
Mmmm...classstime. Woo boredom.
Bye folks.

One year ago today, I was on spring break. I was excited about prom and waiting for my dress to arrive. I was going to graduate from high school soon and I was anxious for our physics trip to Cedar Point.
Today, I am tired and not on spring break. I am excited about my first year of college life to be over and I'm waiting for 8:15 to arrive so I can get ready for class. I am going to drive myself in my car to Aquinas College and I'm anxious for my two dogs downstairs to shut up.
One year from today, I will be in France. I will be excited about the next weekend trip Emily and I take and will be waiting for my turn in the bathroom after my host siblings. I will be going to class at a French university with students from all over the world and will be anxious because Emily wasn't feeling well last night and it must be hard to be sick in a foreign country.
A lot changes in a year. It's amazing. I never really stop and think about it but one year ago I was attending high school in Rockford, Michigan. Today, I'm attending college at Aquinas College in Grand Rapids, Michigan and I drive myself to school everyday. One year from now I will be attending university in Perpignan, France and taking weekend trips to Spain.
Wow.
I can't say I'm not a little scared.
