i have been a slacker. i have been working a lot at the library and at the area desk. i like to work at the library more because they pay me more and it is more interesting and i learn lots of lovely historical things, like about the time the elephants came to town with the circus and when they let them go in the mill race to cool off, they wouldn't come back out. but for the past couple of days i have been doing DA training for fall. i think this is very silly because that is the job that i have been doing all summer. but they are training me for it again. oh well. i am getting lots of hours this week. also, i have a house. it is big and lovely and i love it. it has a turquoise door and blue carpet and a yard that i need to water tomorrow. right now there is a robin and there would be a katie if she weren't in europe. there is no shannon yet. but soon! on my birthday! shannon is coming. and that is good. because it will be my birthday and i will need lots of friends around because brian is still in california and will not be back by then. which is difficult. esp when combined with much bad mood, stupidness, etc that is going on right now. not to mention the whole national/global downness in the past couple days. life is surreal. 11:01:50 PM wednesday, july 18 - all feathers and coke cans and tv dinners and letters she won't send adam duritz is my new favorite. (favorite what? who knows. surely not boy, because i know who that is. favorite dreadlocked-yet-balding bespectacled funnydrunk talkative lead singer? definitely.) sigh. let's see. been working a lot. brian came home. went to portland last night for counting crows, in case you couldn't tell. we didn't wait outside this time, though i almost wished marissa were there so that i could. =) that's all the interestingness i can think of, though. shan might come down this weekend, yayayayayay!!! katie and i are househunting again. i'm reading the feminine mystique (still). and . . . summer is nice. 2:40:41 PM tuesday, july 3 - your story to remain untold quick again, as we have only one phone line. i cleaned frog's house, and now she is a happy frog. and i decided to know some things that are making me a lot more . . . peaceful, i guess is the word. some of them are unarticulateable, but i've got two into words so far so that i can remember them and practice knowing them. because i do need practice. brian is home in three days! 8:29:56 PM tuesday, june 26 - have i been blind? quick update, as i am at library-work and have to start soon. school is out, yay! i did well and made the dean's list again. =) i have moved out, yay! moving is evil but having an apartment is nice. i live with katie for now. next year we will live with shan and robin also. my room does not have internet yet (hence no updates) but i hope that charles will fix that for me soon. i am working almost 40 hours a week at the library and at the area desk. yay money! i have a big list of summer goals and i am currently working on 2 or 3 of them, but i am also going backwards on others so i will have to try a little harder. brian is in california, which is all ok, i suppose, except that he is not calling me, and i have instated a no-call rule because i don't want to be a psycho stalker controlling girlfriend. i hope he has just lost my number, and is not doing it on purpose, but i am not going to call to find out. but i have my fingers crossed. he said he'd come back. i'm supposed to believe him. the other day i went up to mcminnville and woodburn with chris and chris, respectively. i had dinner at chris w's house with his parents. it was fun =) i got new veggie recipes. (apartment is good because i can burn candles and i can COOK!! yay!) and now i should go back to work. 12:00:45 PM monday, may 28 - i went running through the screen doors of discretion today there are more things i like to complement yesterday, because yesterday people were freaking out at me. so today i like peaches and nectarines, and squishees, and dar williams, LOTS, and puppies!!!, and senator jeffords =) and if i were not limiting myself to song lyrics, today it would say "no, i'm from iowa . . . i only work in outer space." i still hate school and househunting, though. stupidness. 6:56:21 PM sunday, may 27 - days go by i don't know why today i have a big list of things i hate. among them: school. duty. househunting (so far we have not gotten the 2 houses we have applied for). hot weather (the kind that makes you sweat even just walking around). me, but no more than usual. stress. however, three day weekend is good. 5:44:26 PM sunday, may 13 - i'd say she was an angel but it's stupid and it's obvious HOUSE! also: am co-director of students for choice next year. yay! and secretary for dems, but that's nothing new. also: school is stupid. and duty is stupid. that is all. 11:29:51 PM
