HELLO WORLD! I HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT!
Meet Spanky (aka Dakota)
Dakota and my puppy, Perkey, are in love. it is beautiful. I know it

pound- but love exists in many forms. Dakota, Perkey: You have my
blessing. Current Mood:  peeping tom | | Sunday, July 24th, 2005 | | 4:04 pm |

There's something really sad about finishing a good book.
it's like getting out of a really hard but great relationship (not that i would Really know... right...)
So, i finished this Harry Potter book, and was, as I usually am with
Harry Potter books, quite sad to be finished- cursing Rowling for not
writing faster... cursing god or something for not making me a witch. I
actually just felt really sad. not because the book was sad, but
because i was sad that it was over. So, i tried everything that a
broken hearted lover tries. I bought a new book. I went back to an old
one. I watched a movie. I stared at the cover of this book... like an
old photograph. And yet, my mind goes back to that old lover. I sit and
find myself, despite my strongest efforts, rethinking my favorite
memories from those pages. Is it wrong to call them memories?
"'I wonder,' he said to himself,
'what's in a book while it's closed. Oh, I know it's full of letters
printed on paper, but all the same, something must be happening,
because as soon as I open it, there's a whole story with people I don't
know yet, and all kinds of adventures and deeds and battles. And
sometiems therea re storms at sea, or it takes you to strange cities
and countries. All those thinsg are somehow shut up in a book. Of
course you have to read it to find out. But it's already there, that's
the funny thing. I just wish I knew how it could be.'"
-- Bastian from the Neverending Story
okay. sooo tired.

okay... confession:
I love Harry Potter. you all know the next book is coming out tomorrow night at midnight. Im psyched. aparently some guy (actually, some Person- but, im gunna go ahead and say "guy") accidently sold a few out of a bookstore in Canada. Then they realized their mistake, and tracked down the copies that were sold, and put out a court oder saying that these people had to swear to not say anything about them, stop reading, and return the book. In return for the cooporation they each recieved an autographed copy. i want an autographed copy Also, some people stole a few, and were going to sell them each for something ridiculous, like 10000 dollars a few weeks ago, but they got caught and arrested. that is probably a fellony- seeing as how that would be such a huge mistake financially for the entire HP industry. um, i can hear my mom typing above me- she just IMed me and told me to go to bed so i can get up for work tomorrow Current Mood:  listening to my mother | | Wednesday, July 13th, 2005 | | 11:33 am |
end of summer plans?
okay, im torn, and need your help, Livejournal users... As you probably all know, im in Anchorage right now. it takes a god awful amount of time to get back to new york, and i end up feeling totally wasted when I do. im on orientation crew, which means i move in on the 26th. before i go to NY i want to spend a week in portland. my best friend, Dakota, is going to Cornell next year. Dakota's boyfriend, Tim is going to a school near cornell. before they go to school around the 15th of August, they are going to NYC for awhile to hang out (Dakota's sister lives there). should i go with them? this would mean the week before the 15th i would be in NYC, and the week before that i would be in Portland. But, where would I stay while in NY for the week before the 15th to the 26th? Dakota's sister's place is pretty small.... hmmm maybe i don't really have any options here. Maybe I don't have to be in NY for that second week- the one before moving in to SLC- neighboring states, what do you think? Ct? NJ? PA? Maybe this won't work, but, my idea behind it is- i'd like to spend some time in NYC before I get stuck in Bronxville for the year. Also, I'd like to go to NY and have some time between ariving there and moving into SLC and doing Orientation crew stuff- cause, despite the fact im coming from Porltand (i hope) this time, rather than going from AK, it's still a super long flight, 7+ hours of flying or something ridiculous like that- and i really don't like the idea of being jet lagged like mad my 1st week at school. does any of that make sense? probably not. Ana got me inspired to plan ahead, I guess. Then again, going to NYC so early would mean leaving AK so early- im not sure how i feel about that.

i saw a bear last night. i would have fought it but i was in a car and it would have won. | | Monday, July 4th, 2005 | | 6:19 pm |
I went and saw War of the Worlds with my family today. It's kinda an
unofficial tradition to go see some epic type film on the fourth.
When I was in the 6th grade, alien films were my favorite genre. Not
just because of the 5th and 6th grade fad (remember this?) where aliens
were way cool. Also, because i found it interesting how the plot and
attitude of the alien movie reflected the mentality of america at the
point the movie was made. This isn't a flawless argument, but some of
the greats hold true to it- This remake of War of the Worlds is also
true to it. I wrote a report and present it it, entitled, "20th
Century American Mentality through Alien Movies". My sister lost a 100
dollar bet with my mom over Alien. Those were the days.
I liked it. There were some holes in it. but i liked it.
My point is, seeing this movie, after maybe 5 years of not seeing alien
movies, has reinstilled this love of this genre in me- not a love of
this film specifically, but- i need to get back and watch some of the
classics. project?
Anyone want to do this with me? Samuel possibly, my new wife?
Then, we can pick an aspect from each film we watch, and incorporate
them into a movie we script, direct, edit, and present. (good idea?
hahahahaha... oh sad).
Okay, i've always had such a
girl crush on Mae West. It has lived within me for maybe 6 or 7 years
now. Upon watching (rewatching? im not sure) Belle of the Nineties, I
realized that her ultimately sought after, admired, and drooled over
figure is quite similer to the body of someone i know... not naming any
names here... but i lived with them for 9 months. However, i have a
sneakign suspision that J. Vafidis has much nice arms and collar bone-
seeing as how Mae West does a good job of covering them up in some of
her films. But yes:
they are both hot. The point is, Mae West was often considered flawless in her figure. She was such a raw dawg.
So, i went to the forest fair the other day. For some reason none of my pictures of Hiary turned out. Just imagine her in these.

Sam beat up my foot tonight. We were playing football at his house (lie) we were playing 500 in his street. Brendyn threw the ball and yelled "100 dead or alive" Kathlee and Hilary kinda stood back and watched as Sam and I ran for the ball. it went over our heads, and I was bound to get it until Sam stuck out his big fat foot and tripped me. I was wearing Kenyon's flip flops (sorry Jen) and the left one bent sideways under my foot, exposing my skin to the concrete which scraped it away from my flesh, leaving granuals of dirt and rocks where the skin once was. The flip flop (just the left one) is kinda destroyed. maybe duct tape will fix it? I was bleeding, but got the ball anyway. Sam's mom patched me up. Then matt and jesse and joe came. Then matt and Hilary and Kathleen and Jesse went and made out and Joe and Brendyn and Sam and Areli and I watched the first five minutes of an Akira Kurosawa movie without an easy-to- remember title. Then we turned on Adult Swim. Apparently wasps have made a home under our front porch, right next to the door. my mom keeps getting stung. It keeps away burglers though. They're our watch wasps. I like them. Happy 4th of July? | | Sunday, July 3rd, 2005 | | 3:09 pm |
I just read a book. in related news, there's a good possiblity, at times like these, that i will want to persue psychology. What i'm saying is, that for the time being, i am considering that. but what about film and anthro? we will see. i hate showering. but i guess that time has come.

1. Rats may suffer from infection with an organism called Mycoplasma.
This primitive organism often causes respiratory disease in affected
rats. They may sneeze and have discharge from the eyes and nose. With
chronic infection, the rat may suffer from nosebleeds. This can
progress to pneumonia. The Mycoplasma organism can also cause problems with the urogenital tract, and may cause abortion or embryonic death in pregnant females.
why weren't we so lucky?
In other news. went to the forest fair today with SAM KAZUO RAD ASS PARKER! mmmmmmmmmm...
there was a parade, which means there were things i took pictures of
that anyone would love (G E- little boys... uhhherrr) okay, let's just
say there was a boyscout troop in the parade, and leave it at that.
I slept on the way home, and then got home and was still really sleepy,
so i got into my pajamas, and got into bed- then i ate a half a box of
nerds and watched Sabrina.
now im going to go make fun of Troy.

okay
I saw a movie with my mom tonight in the previews we saw something for RENT. i almost threw up. Im really sorry to those of you who are Rent fans. I honestly got so sick during the preview. i dont think i've ever felt so upset about any movie preview i've ever seen. first of all, the song bothered me to no end. and the cliche montage, Oh god. it made me SO mad. and like i needed to slap the actors. It was really upsetting. it ended with the letters R-E-N-T on the screen really big, and it got really quite and dark, and i said really loudly, "SICK" and my mom kinda nudged me to be quiet and the girls sitting infront of me turned around to glare (turns out i use to play soccer with one of them. random) Tomorrow is the girdwood forest fair! IM REALLY EXCITED AND NERVOUS! AHHHH! aaaand, i get to spend some time with sam kazuo parker... oh i love that kid. yeeeeeeeeehaw. | | 11:12 am |
Im really tired right now. im at work, and the printer's not working. it's thinking REALLY REALLY HARD. So, im waiting. something smells like gasoline. Im in my dad's office cause he's working at home, and i can see the printer from where I'm sitting. People keep trying to print things, and then come up to the printer and stare at it- press buttons, scratch their heads, and then walk off. it's not working 'cause my job is too big. oops. this is excitement! yeeeee haw. Then again, it is Friday, so I am a happy girl | | Thursday, June 30th, 2005 | | 10:21 pm |
Anchorage people: Go to Peter's Sushi Spot. It's really good. A cute place. not too expensive (about the same as Sushi Ya, if you've been there). While on that note, go to Shushi Ya. Shushi Ya is on Dimond, where the Taco Bell use to be, between New and Old Seward. Peter's Sushi spot is in the same strip mall as the Pet Emergency Center. Rita's bus is sometimes in the parking lot (it's black with pink stripes). This strip mall is right off of Old Seward before you get to the mooses tooth, on the left there's a street, turn onto it (where the highway yields onto Old Seward). then the stripmall is on your right, perpendicular to the street you're currently on. At any rate, go there. it is good/fun. woah. i went running again today. i wonder if i'll make this a real habbit? or if it will last 2 more days (that's a generous estimate.) i need to stretch. i am sore. ah, this is such a boring post. sorry folks. | | Wednesday, June 29th, 2005 | | 10:30 pm |
okay, that last post was really quite sad. anyway. i feel terribly productive today. i ran, i painted, i worked 8 hours, i cleaned my room, i showered, i watched tv... aaaand... updated my livejournal twice. Also, i did not spend any money today. i wish, however, that i was in NYC with Tracy and Emily, and soon to be Jen Vafidis. this is sad. im super tired. im going to bed. why am i updating? i hate livejournal. Also, new Owen Wilson movie coming out? why am i such a girl? And, this new movie with O.W. is about an idea i have been pondering over for the last 4 days! (that is, going to wedding receptions for the fun of it- although, in the movie it's for the girls and the alcohol- in my life it would def be for the people watching. people at weddings are crazy! However, no one else in Anchorage thinks this is a good idea except for me. damn) | | 10:28 pm |

TEMPLE OF DOOOOO*love*OOOOOOM
Oh boy! listening to the president's speach today on NPR got me totally
all hot and bothered. mmmmm, it felt really good to get nice and moist
all over my body- oh mr. george w. bush, why do you have such an effect
on me? how is it that you're voice causes such extreme undulations? why
must i be so many miles from that folded brow of yours, and those long
ears? help me, someone! tell me what to do?! i can't stand being away
from him.
in other news: haven't seen koty since Sunday, But, have been
doing a lot of thinking. When we were out, she and Rita tried talking
to eachother- Dakota in Portugese, and Rita in Spanish. I listened, and
understood a fair amount. This got me to thinking. I should learn
hindi, or atleast get better at Spanish. I use to be quite good, it is
sad how much I have lost since not speaking/hearing it regularly in the
last 2 years.
we listen to mediocre music at work. just random stations, sometimes
the iPod of my coworker, Chris. The best part of it though, is that the
two guys I work with, who are both fairly young, (one is a few years
younger than I am, the other is a few years older), like to sing along
to whatever's on. Or, if it's not to their liking, they sing a differnt
song to it, or the previous song while the current one is playing. it's
good fun, and makes me laugh sometimes while I'm sorting through soil.
Tried out this thing called "painting" tonight. was interesting. i now
have a mess of dark red and orange on a canvas in my rec-room, drying.
my mom and I started Indiana Jones and the raiders of the Lost Arc.
It's been a few years since I've watched that excellent piece of
cinema. I have to admit, i was afraid that it had lost its appeal or
something, and I would return to it with a sour sort of semi-nostalgic
affection, but no real satisfaction. However, I have to comment that
the movie is still the masterpiece I remember it: Harrison Ford is
still unbelievable (HE HAS A WHIP!)

Dakota is back and I am a happy girl. I already laughed till crying with her and Rita. Something about gyros and locking keys in running cars. Sam, I'm sorry i didn't call you- her flight got in super late, then fish, then rice, more rice, icecream/bed sheets, and mosquitos. I'm seriously not trying to give you the shaft.. cold shoulder, whatever the expression is. I honestly was counting the days until you got home, it was unfortunate that I was gone when that date arrived, or i would have done something embarassing for the two of us upon your arrival. Liiikkkeee... Sex in public or something. SEX IN PUBLIC! okay, gangesters, I'm off to bed. First i have to wash my hands. | | Sunday, June 26th, 2005 | | 1:15 pm |
