I just wanted a little spot to put my random shit other than the RTB because those books are bigger than myself, and I don't wanna put all my shit in there and ruin the experience for everybody else. I always make little lists, I want a place to put lists in the back of my head, and random little revelations I get. For me.
Movies on my List
well, I watched Heathers last night with fish, so cross that one off. "DEAR DIARY!" aaahaha
philadelphia, with tom hanks
cocoon, because it looks awesome as hell and because they watch it in Say Anything.
st. elmo's fire
harry and maude
top gun because apparently i have to
footloose because, ditto
things i want to look into:
autism. volunteering for AA. underwater birth (how fascinating), AMISH, the 20th century, modern evolution of rock and roll, the mediterranean. how to successfully broil pineapple chunks. if i can replace the lens of my car's CD player. or well, not me, but the Honda guy.
songs for lately:
coldplay, warning sign
the samples- feel us shaking
whiskeytown- yesterdays news, turn around
bruce springsteen- i'm on fire
elton john- your song
temptation by New Order....hm
and that counting crows cover of joni mitchells song where its They paved paradise and put up a parking lot because it wont leave me alone its following me around town.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
i gotta chronologically arrange all these, this shitload of photographs we stumbled upon.
you should always go through your photos frequently, before you die, especially in a group with the ppl in them, bc you can't do that when you're dead.
and growing up is just becoming your own parent. drying your eyes, laundry and food, comforting yourself, being proud of your own accomplishments, putting your accomplishments on the refrigerator in your mind. i dunno, but then its kinda like you're chaueferring yourself around town and i have to think about that concept for a while more before i got a comment going.
posters cost way too fucking much.
contradicting ideology
School of Thought #1: you could die at any moment at all, so make sure the ppl around you know you love them, you never know when you're making a memory or saying bye for the last time blah blah
School 2: saying it too much makes it meaningless
------------well obviously the answer is to balance them out but uhhh to what extent? and how? and when and why and with whoM.
actors i've wanted at some point in my youth:
macaulay culkin, 3rd grade
sebastian from the never ending story part 2, gradeschool
river phoenix
john cusack
christian slater in Heathers
ryan philippe in cruel intentions, duh.
i can't think of any more right now, im blanking
awesome= backwards red hats haha
HOWWW WONDERFUL LIFE IS---> WHILE YOURE IN THE WORLD

warning sign by coldplay rocks. "and the truth is....i miss youuuuu..."

Alright movie, not totally my favorite, but it definitely wins a place on the list judging by the fineness ratio of 19 year old Rob Lowe. Hot damn. So now I have to find a poster from the mid 1980s of Rob Lowe....looks like ebay it is.
At Fish's last night I decided to buy two fish, even though I know I'll probably take shit care of them and that they'll probably die even before I have a chance to fall into bad caretaking habits, because goldfish are so unhardy like that. Everyone won one at the carnival and you get it home, put it in the bowl, next day it's doing the backstroke.
Gonna name them Dotty and Joann, just like the 2 fish got and I immediately said to name them that out of nowhere, no clue from whence that shit came. Then my mom tells me that the old lady who lived next door like 10 years ago had 2 daughters who are now like 65 named Dotty....and Joann. Gotta love the unconscious memory.
tomorrow at noon, root beer stand reunion :)
"i'm a loner, dotty.....a rebel" -joann (or pee wee herman)
i hate it when.... well i guess i kinda love it at the same time, but you get really into a song, and you're belting the lyrics left and right and writing them absentmindedly on the spine of your notebook during lectures and they're so powerful given the musical context. but then you share them with someone else who is not familiar with the song, or just plain write them down trying to convey that same emotion, and it's not there because from an objective point of view they're really not very snazzy or profound, but once you add that melodic backdrop, it's a whole new ballgame.
In those instances I find it's just the best to close your eyes as tight as you can and lip synch into whatever is handy, like a pen. or your thumb, that has been resorted to frequently as well. And you just gotta convey that emotion somehow.
rob lowe is just so "i wear my sunglasses at night" or at least he was in 1984.
bigvocs14: too fast too furious blows asshole
Jessica was like: i'm sure it does
bigvocs14: i totally didn wanna see that
bigvocs14: the acting was terrible
Jessica was like: duh, you think ludacris can crossover into film?
But so in St Elmos Fire there's this part where hot as sin Rob Lowe talks to freaking out Demi Moore about being in the early 20s and how so much of the drama is self-made. So much of the anxiety, all the pressure from nonexistant/distant sources. reminds me of last night at skyline, with fish all the HS kids were wigging out about dramas that were nothing at all. HS was such a waste.
NikkGlsr: haha, this is funny, it's like the rtb but live and uncensored
