this journal is semi-friends only. what does that mean? it means that the majority of my entries will be public. anything that's not will be overly personal, locked to specific people, etc. you're not missing much if you're not reading that, seriously.

( want to be friends? )

... i like how the list sort of degenerated.

IP logging is off, anonymous commenting is on, comments are screened.

This post will be sticky'd in the near future, as a permanent anonymeme of sorts.

If you have any confessions you'd like to make, anything you've been wanting to say or vent about, about anything (me included), you can comment here and say it.

I won't reply (though I can, if you'd like, just ask), and no one but me will ever hear about it.

[addition: if you need to talk, too -- not vent or rant, but you're upset or depressed or, hell, just need to talk -- this is open for it. anonymous if you'd like, i don't care. i don't even have to know you! if you want or need to talk, i'd like to listen.

blatantly stolen from angeling, besides the addition.]

So. I saw Harry Potter!

I took Arman and his friend to dinner first, and man, I feel old around them. His friend was bragging about how he could text two fourteen-year-old girls whenever he wanted. Not just one, ladies and gentlemen. Two. He then was very excitedly discussing his favorite bands with me, which were Fall Out Boy ("I got, like, five albums for free from my friend!") and My Chemical Romance. He claims to read Twilight "for the girls." It was just a very surreal experience.

Anyway, we got in line directly after dinner, which meant we were ~second~. Chrissy and Hali met us in line, blah blah blah old people no one cares. Anyway, first people into the theatre. Hell. Yes. Arman and his friend, uh, didn't want to be seen with us, so they went and got pretty crappy seats. Meanwhile, we got dead-center right in front of that metal bar thing you can put your feet up on. And then waited. For an hour and a half.

( MY THOUGHTS ON THE MOVIE. )

And then it was 2:45 in the morning, and Hali and I ... went over to Safeway and shopped for groceries. And then we came home and watched Arrested Development.

A GOOD NIGHT, INDEED.

EDIT: OH AND ALSO

WILL ARNETT

IN A MOVIE ABOUT GUINEA PIGS

I AM SO SEEING THIS OMG

my thread

I feel like I've done something like this recently ...

I admit, I actually do feel pretty good right now. I went out to walk to the park ... and there was a beagle running around off-leash. So after a half hour chase, I finally caught him, rigged up a leash with my headphones, brought him home, google mapped his house ... and had someone recognize him right before I drove him home*. He offered me $20 for it, but at this point it's pretty much my hobby running around returning loose dogs to their houses, and it'd kind of make me feel like a ... a dog-rescuing whore, so I said no**.

Anyway, then I went to the park and climbed the cherry/plum/whatever trees to pick what little's left and looked like a crazy person. And then I flopped on the grass with my iPod and continued to look like a crazy person! This is how I know I'm doing a good job.

oh oh oh also, I dyed my hair again for the first time in ... a very long time. The bleach didn't work very well, so it's not half as much as I'd've liked, but I'll still post pictures if I can take any that don't make children cry.

OH OH OH. I set it up so I can remotely access my desktop from my laptop! I now no longer have to jump up to switch songs. I am delighted by how low my lust for laziness can go.

* DID I MENTION I GOT MY LICENSE. I got my license :D
** And immediately regretted it. Fuck you, integrity.

EDIT: ... WHAT ;;. RON HAS SPATTERGROIT.

Arman: Hey, do you want to come over to Grigg's* house and have a margarita?
Jazzy: ... a what? Do these margaritas have alcohol in them?
Arman: Yes?**
Jazzy: ... do Grigg's parents know?
Arman: No?
Jazzy: ... are Grigg's parents home?
Arman: No?
Jazzy: ... ... ... [oh god i need to be the responsible one but i need to be the cool one but— hey, wait.] Arman? What kind of alcohol is in these margaritas?
Arman: Virgin Mary?
Jazzy: [sfkjshddf] All. A-all right. You can have two. That's it.

And then he called me back two minutes later to tell me they weren't really having margaritas, they were having lemonade, and Grigg's parents were upstairs, and he just wanted to look cool. My baby brother's fucking adorable.

* Grigg's his best friend and dumb as a log. No, seriously. Sweet kind, but seriously, um.
** Arman does the valley girl thing? Where everything's a question? It's really annoying?

Iii think I'm going to drop my summer courses. It's not that they're hard, just that they really conflict with some things I have planned, and, also, I want to relax my last summer before college and 15 units. Of course, that means I have to deal with my parents bitching, and them threatening to withhold my license :D

Juuuust. augh. They've never got it in their heads that I actually really need a license, that I can't have them chauffeur me everywhere (especially since they're not willing to do it), and that, yes, guys, the parents of everyone else I know pays for their driving insurance, and, no, that's not an exaggeration. And since Dad's had the same job for, um, ever, and Mom hadn't done anything that paid less than insane for twenty years before she quit, they don't get that it's impossible to find a job in this economy, let alone a teenager finding one. She keeps saying, "I'm sure if I help you you'll have one within the week," which is insulting, as well as wrong!

blah blah first world problems while iran burns. one day i'll get the fuck over myself!

Why is this damn election on the news? Why do we care about these people, anyway? I mean, I mean, they're not even American. Everyone knows Iran is evil! They just want to bomb us. That's why we should bomb them first, those dirty Arab extremists. And, and, anyway, there's real news, like how Lindasy Lohan posted topless photos. Doesn't anyone care about important things? I'm going to go paint my nails. I have a party tomorrow. This is so dumb, anyway.

Sometimes I post intelligent entries, full of thought and foresight!

This is not one of them.

EDIT: BayesianCoho (9:27:58 PM): Let's talk about rooms full of Chinese people!

s-sob cohos.

ALSO. this has annoyed me for years.

Iran is pronounced "ee-rahn." 'Iranian' is pronounced "ee-rahn-ee-an." Doesn't that make more sense than "eye-ran" having "eye-rain-ee-ans?" Relatedly, Iraq is "ee-rawk."

I blame the news media for this, because they should know better. And now so do all of you!

THIS IS YOUR PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT FOR THE DAY.

also, mousavi/karroubi where is my vote, bitches.
