[ mood | cold ]

It's been a long time since I've written in this.. I just haven't felt like sharing, I guess. Things have been hectic lately. I don't even know where to start. I figure I should at least give the basic things that have happened...

We put Katie, my 12 year old puppy, to sleep last Tuesday. I didn't have classes so I was able to be there with her, and hold her while the vet gave her the shot. I haven't cried that hard in years. I used to be unable to fall asleep if I wasn't laying on the floor next to her, and I took care of her every time she got sick. I'll miss her, bu it's relieving to know that she's not in pain anymore.

Brandeis is still fun, but I don't know if I quite fit in. I make friends pretty easily, but it usually takes me awhile to find my true niche. We'll see how the rest of the year turns out. I've made a few new friends this semester (yeah, Spanish!) so I'll probably get out of our hall more. Also, it's kind of hard getting motivated to do work when I would probably be equally happy dropping out of school and becoming a tattoo artist or living in a commune. I like the learning aspect of college, but I don't know about planning a future. Also, I'm getting pretty broke, so the commune thing is tempting.

I cut my hair again. I don't know if I like it yet or not. I have bangs, which is different to say the least. I like them, though, it's the rest of my hair that I'm unsure about. It's not the cut, just the way my hair rebels from my head. Oh well. I need to dye my hair again, too. My purple-turned-pink is turning orange.

The battery door on my digital camera broke, so I had to send it to Canon. I hope I get it back soon, because I keep seeing things that I want to capture. The same week, my computer crashed. I vowed to give up technology, move to Pennsylvania, and live with the Amish, but then my dad fixed my computer. Phew, that was close.

As soon as I'm done writing this, my tongue ring is no more. I went to a doctor to see about some scar tissue on it, and he told me it would probably go away if I just took out the barbell. I don't really care that much, because I've had it more than a year and it's not like I have anyone to use it on. I'll miss having something to chew on in class, though. Oh, and I never got to try out one of those vibrating barbells. Whatever, I can always get it repierced if Adam Brody shows up on my doorstep.

I'm sure that some other "big stuff" (sigh, my pathetic life) has happened but I'm too tired to thnk about it. Either that, or I've blocked it from my memory. I've been pretty down lately, for a lot of reasons, so I've avoided full consciousness as much as possible.

Where did my principles go?

Do you know that feeling that you get when you stay up too late, or have too much caffeine, and you feel "jittery," but not really hyper at all? That's how I feel right now. I feel like my heart is racing, but my body is in suspended animation. Oh, and I'm completely sober, so save yourself the trouble of asking the obvious question. haha...

This weekend turned out to be a lot of fun. On Friday night I hung around the dorm, invited a sketchy Waltham guy to join us (just playin, boy), and watched movies with everyone in the hall. It was amusing, five different rooms were filled with people drinking while watching movies. We came up with some fun games for Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Family Guy. 'Twas very STA.

I was extremely exhausted on Saturday, having stayed up late the past.. oh, month or so. I didn't really feel like going out, but I told Jon I'd go to his frat's rush party. Practically our whole hall showed up -- it was Shapiro 1b bonding night #2. The party wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, either. Actually, it was a rather great party. According to "those people that actually go to Brandeis frat parties regularly," it had the best turnout of any party so far this year. It was mostly freshmen, but it was nicely crowded and there was even a little dancing. Even after they ran out of booze, the basement was still packed for awhile. But we, along with the rest of the guests, eventually grew bored and walked across the street to the ZBT party that was rumored to have strippers. Sure enough, two naked Waltham strippers (lapdancers, really, and almost prostitutes at that) were surrounded by Brandeis guys. Yeah, the Phi Psi party was better, but it was a fun end to the night. Too bad I lost my limbs to frostbite waiting for the Branvan!

Sunday I dragged myself out of bed relatively early, stopped by WBRS to see Sheryl, and then hopped on the Brandeis shuttle with Saara to meet Megan to go see...

Lycaon Pictus, SNMNMNM, World/Inferno Friendship Society, and The Dresden Dolls!

Yeah, I almost creamed myself when I saw that lineup, too.

It was such an amazing concert. I couldn't have thought of two bands I'd want to see together more than W/I and the Dolls, and I wasn't disappointed. W/I put on an amazing set, and were even better than I'd remembered them. Saara and I are going to start following them more, I think. I knew The Dresden Dolls were going to be fantastic, but they really surpassed my expectations. Even extremely talented artists sometimes lack in their live performances, but Amanda sounded as good (if not better than) the studio recordings I've heard of her. Brian was every bit as amusing, passionate, and skilled as any drummer I've seen. Their chemistry onstage was unmatched, and made for a very fun show.

The Dresden Dolls set list )
The only song that I was disappointed not to hear was The Jeep Song. Still, I can't complain. I really wanted to hear Sex Changes and Girl Anachronism live, and I couldn't think of a better song to close on than Truce. Phenomenal show, really. I'm looking forward to many, many more.

Oh, and it helped that there were a ton of cute guys there, too. That's not all I think about, really, but "the boy with the hat who was at the Brandeis W/I show" was there, and so was the prettyful boy who sat in on the Dolls' WBRS interview, and.. and.. that brings me to another point.

I don't pretend that other people observe crowds as closely as I do, but I'm happy to be able to say that I've befriended two people who, at least to some degree, do the same thing. I talked to Megan and Saara about it this weekend, and it's made me think. I'll forget someone's name five minutes after being introduced to them, but if I pick a person out of a crowd (for whatever reason), I will remember them months later. Maybe it has something to do with my preference of fantasy to reality, at least in my thoughts. I'm more practical than a lot of people I know, but I also tend to daydream like no other. I wonder, though, if other people do this but don't recognize or admit to it? I don't see any problem with having such a heightened view of strangers, except that sometimes I won't be able to stop thinking about someone simply because that fantasy pervades my thoughts. Why do I need to have someone to dream about?

Ah, back to reality. I have a few goals this week. First, I will stop thinking about a particularly beautiful creature. (You can not guess who it is.) Secondly, I will catch up on schoolwork. This isn't imperitive, since the readings for a few of my classes seem to be extraneous, but I feel like spending an extra 4 hours a day reading might help with goal number one. Also, I can see myself starting to get down soon, and I'm going to attempt to avoid this. A busy Beth is a happy Beth, right? I finished House of Leaves today, with a sense of accomplishment; my brother told me it took him as long to read as the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Uh, do I have a third goal for this week?

I guess not.

Manray didn't happen last night because Megan is sick, but it was still a good night. I caught the free bus to Boston and met Megan at Virgin, where I managed to only spend $36 on DVDs (Say Anything, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and Donnie Darko) and batteries. Then we picked up some food and settled in for a scary movie night. We watched Donnie Darko and most of Poltergeist, but we had to stop it because we had forgotten that there's a crazy scary clown at the end.

...grandes sentimientos de amor."

I don't feel like updating "for real," but some noteworthy stuff has happened in the last week...

I met The Dresden Dolls on Thursday! Anyone who keeps up with my journal should know how thoroughly enamored I am by their music. They were at WBRS to be on Sheryl's interview show, and I got to hang out in the studio with them. ::holds back screams:: It was a lot of fun, and they were both wonderful storytellers. Even if I hadn't been so starstruck, I bet they still would have impressed me with their eloquence. You can see my fangirl pictures here )I'm planning on seeing them perform at the Middle East on Sunday with World/Inferno Friendship Society. W/I played at the concert Sheryl set up back in November, and they gave one of the best performances I've ever seen. Sunday is going to be bodacious. (Look at my word usage, Megan!)

Last weekend I went back to Dover to celebrate Megan's and my birthdays. On Friday night Megan and I had a private party, and then our friends came over on Saturday night for similar revelry. On Sunday I went to Boston with my parents for a birthday dinner. It was an exhausting weekend, but quite enjoyable. I didn't take many pictures, but here are some from previously mentioned fun times: New Years and the like )

Okay, I know there were some more things I wanted to mention in here...

I dropped my philosophy class, because I don't want to get stressed out and I was only taking it for interest. I can always take it next year. Plus, now I get to sleep in after my radio show, which I had switched to Monday nights. It was so nice being able to get 7 hours of sleep, and wake up on my own. I'll probably be up until 3 tonight, but I usually am anyway. Oh, and when we have a Monday off, like this week, I'll have a five day weekend... not too shabby at all.

On Thursday I'm going to MANRAY with JD and Megan, and possibly Saara. Besides being a 19+ club (Woohoo, the one thing on earth that I couldn't do before my birthday and am able to now!), JD speaks very highly of it and I've been meaning to go dancing with Megan for awhile. I'm pretty psyched.

It's almost 5, so maybe I should seek out some human contact. I guess I did feel like updating for real afterall.

I'm going to be back in Dover tonight, but I don't know what's going on yet. I might be watching a movie with Brett, and then spending the night (being a lush) at Megan's house. Tomorrow = lunch with Mark and a(nother) party at Megan's house...? Maybe? Let me know if you want to show up, (603)978-5365. As far as I know, Saturday night is open to pretty much anyone.

Sunday is my 19th birthday...

...so I'll be in Boston with my parents. Brandeis party stuff on Monday (Happy 19th Birthday to Megan!), and Tuesday I rest.

Now I just need to stand in the cold for a few hours getting to a bus, and the birthdayX2 festivities can commence! ^_^

I don't like getting out of classes when the sun is setting. [14 Jan 2004|08:12pm]
[ mood | chipper ]

Other than that, my classes all went well. I had Intro to Visual Culture first, then Social Psychology. Both have padded stadium seating (yay comfort!) and fairly engaging professors. In Social Psych we watched some Candid Camera sketches from the '60s. Hilarious. I'm also looking forward to my UWS, which will focus mainly on first person narrative and A Clockwork Orange. The TA who's teaching it was my TA for Modern Poetry, and he's a pretty good teacher. He seemed surprised to find out that I'm a freshman, which made me feel even better about my A-in Modern Poetry. I think I'm going to enjoy the class, and Doug tossed in some modern ideas into his introduction, so now I'm even more interested in the material than I was before. After UWS I went and got some pizza from Usdan and read House of Leaves for an hour and a half. I didn't really know anyone in the dining hall, and my addiction to the book is growing so I didn't mind.

::Break for dinner at Sherman::

Mmmmm, dining hall food. Oh wait, I didn't miss that at all.

I get to see the Dresden Dolls tomorrow night!!!! Listen to WBRS 100.1FM or online at 11pm! ^_^

I think I should make some friends. Brandeis is kinda clique-y, and I feel like all of my friends are either from my hallway, or friends with people in my hallway. I love my Shapiro 1b people, but aren't I supposed to be making friends in my classes? And why the crap do we use aren't with "I"? It sounds awkward. Stupid English, someday I will be rid of you. My first priority is the friend thing, though.

...Unless I don't have time to leave my room. I still haven't decided how I'm going to approach this semester. I could keep my 5 classes, study my ass off, not have an incredible amount of fun, and hope that good grades will be worth being so busy (and bored). OR, I could drop Philosophy, lessening my workload, and have more free time to be... even more bored, but less stressed. Judging by my moods lately, being bored leads to suckiness (ah, so eloquent). So, in conclusion (or uh-not), if I do drop that class then I better find something to do. If I keep the class, I better pray that my brain doesn't explode. I think I just need to find that balance between stress and suckiness, and hopefully I can do that with all my classes. We'll see later this week, when I find out how much work is required for my philosopy class. I don't feel like having 3 writing intensive courses.

I absolutely enjoy having my first class practically right behind my dorm, though! Too bad my other classes require the normal amount of walking. I miss being able to wear sandals all day.

We have our first hall meeting of the semester tonight. I'm actually looking forward to meeting the midyears. Cute boys, maybe? Hahah, you know me.. always on the lookout for DUST.

I just found out that if I were to perform fellatio on someone with genital warts (unknowingly, duh) then warts could grow out of my tongue (and maybe labret?). (link) EWWWWWWWWWW. Thank God they didn't post a picture of that. I might have to take out the bar anyway, because I have a keloid. I'm getting it removed, and hopefully the doctor won't be mean about it. I don't feel like arguing with him, so if he pushes I'll probably just remove the bar. That's just how I feel now, though, maybe I'll have PMS when I go and flip out on him. That could be fun, too.

The OC is on tonight. Sometimes I wish I wasn't so attracted to Adam Brody, because I feel like no good relationship can start with one of the people involved so obsessed with the other's sexiness. I mean, it's only a matter of time before he realizes we're meant to be together.

(I jest.)

I'm going to go try to remedy the fact that my checking account only has $16 in it. Wish me luck, or stop by a street corner in Waltham and we can help eachother.

2. show: the simple life
3. cd: can't think of one
4. movie: i don't know, but i stopped American Wedding 20 minutes into it. Stifler was just too fucken obnoxious. i miss good comedies. i should have just rented dirty rotten scoundrels, dammit. i think rupret is my favorite film character of all time.

[ mood | contemplative ]

Some strange stuff has happened in my life since I last [really] wrote. I've made lots of money, most of it cash from Sean. I've gotten pretty trashed a few times. I've thought a lot about the last year. I've eaten meat. I've had a nervous breakdown. I've felt incredibly thankful for how my life has turned out. I've made new friends. I've worried about old friends. I've thought a lot about the year to come. I've played with my digital camera. I've watched innumerable movies, and bawled during My Girl in the middle of Express Video.

That is all that I can think of right now. I have yet to reach any conclusions from the last few days, but, regardless, I am not apologetic.

2003 [31 Dec 2003|05:15pm]
[ mood | excited ]

01 Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more?

No, I didn't, and yes, as always, I will make new resolutions. I'm still working on that, though.

02 Did anyone close to you give birth?

I don't think so. So, I guess, no one close enough to remember did.

03 Did anyone close to you die?

No one close to me died, but I've heard about a lot of deaths this year.

04 What would you like to have in 2004 that you lacked in 2003?

Something stable, that I can count on, and will give me hugs. I'm not saying I want a relationship, per se, but hugs would be nice.

05 What date from 2003 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?

Oh, boy. There were some pretty big occurrances. (In no particular order) Graduation. Crazy-ness. College. Camping. 3 piercings and 4 tattoos.

06 What was your biggest achievement of the year?

Graduating STA fairly intact, getting a scholarship to Brandeis, and doing well my first semester were all pretty pride-inducing. (USem A, Modern Poetry A-, Spanish A-, Psychology A- ^_^)

07 What was your biggest failure?

I don't really think in terms of failure. I like to think that I've learned from my mistakes.

08 Did you suffer illness or injury?

I got sick a few times, thanks to the Shapiro dorm, but nothing serious.

09 What was the best thing you bought?

Oooh, it might have to be my laptop, I love it so.

10 Where did most of your money go?

My body modifications took a significant amount of my income, as did clothes and my laptop.

11 What did you get really, really, really excited about?

Graduation and all that it entails, my 18th birthday and the parties involved, coming home for Christmas break...

12 What song will always remind you of 2003?

The Pretenders "I'll Stand by You"

I'm sure there are more, but I can't think of them now.

13 Compared to this time last year, are you:
happier or sadder? That's hard to say..
thinner or fatter? Fatter. Dorm food and Santa Maria, ay ay ay.
richer or poorer? Poorer, but I've spent more money than ever before so I was previously richer.

14 What do you wish you'd done more of?

Hanging out with certain people who I've now grown apart from.

15 What do you wish you'd done less of?

Crying... but not really, because some things have made me stronger. I'm really not one to regret.

16 How will you be spending Christmas?

See previous journal entries.

17 Did you fall in love in 2003?

That's a complicated question. Simple answer: yes. More complicated answer: No.

18 How many one-night stands?

None, in the traditional sense of the phrase.

19 What was your favorite TV program?

Family Guy

20 Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?

I don't really hate people. It's not worth my time.

21 What was the best book you read?

That's too long of a list. AP English did well by me! ^_^

22 What was your greatest musical discovery?

The Dresden Dolls.

23 What did you want and not get?

A relationship that worked.

24 What did you not want and get?

The continuing rollercoaster known as my feelings.

25 What was your favorite film of this year?

Ah, that would be tough. Sean is right, Kill Bill was rad. So were the new LOTR and Pirates of the Caribbean.

26 What did you do on your birthday?

Good question. I know that Megan (1/19) and I (1/18)had a few parties, some with illegal substances and others without. I think a trip to Boston was in there, as well as a trip to the Portsmouth Piercing Parlor.

27 How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2003?

Mine.

28 What kept you sane?

Friends, music, the usual things.

29 Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?

I "fancied" John Cusack, Johnny Depp, Cillian Murphy, and probably a few others. I'm spacing out right now.

30 Who did you miss?

My pre-college friends.

31 What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?

A Chevelle SS or an Aston Martin would have been nice. I could have handled a relationship longer than 2 months, too.

32 Who was the best new person you met?

That I couldn't say. I've met too many new people.

33 Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2003:

Don't start taking long surveys when your attention span is already waning. Heh.

34 Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:

Any of the lyrics from #12, especially...

Sights and Sounds pull me back down another year I was here I was here Whipping past the reflecting pool me and you skipping school And we make it up as we go along We make it up as we go along You said - You raced from Langley - pulling me underneath a Cherry Blossom canopy -Do I Have- Of course I have, Beneath my raincoat, I have your photographs. And the sun on your Face I'm freezing that frame And somewhere Alfie cries and says "Enjoy his every smile You can see in the dark Through the eyes of Laura Mars" How did it go so fast you'll say as we are looking back and then we'll understand we held gold dust in our hands...




On a somewhat related note, PARTY AT MEGAN'S HOUSE TONIGHT... Let me know if you want to show up!

vroom vroom!
