Real World thoughts

Leah is so bipolar in her feelings... she loves or hates everyone... and goes from one extreme to the other over nothing
Mallory put an apple core in a candy dish... For once I agree with Leah- Yuck.
Pascual looks like a Star Trek character. hmmm....
What?!? Pascual (Pas-KWAA as Leah says it) is only a sophomore in HS??? And Mallory going to hook up with him?!
Why is she so freakin' in love with her brother???
Poor Ace, so in looooove with that idiotic alcoholic Mallory.
AHhhhhhh, the ads were right! Mallory got some Simon loving!!!!!
I can't believe Simon would snog the least cool member of the house. And to think he was my favorite...
Did Pascual stay in town for less than 24 hours? I would never fly to Europe for less than a two week stay.
I have taken that cab ride to CDG!! cost us $60 if I remember....
It's good to see everyone using the French they've learned. Right....
Eww, fake hugging

While proudly showing off his new apartment to friends, a college student led the way into the den.

"What is the big brass gong and hammer for?" one of his friends asked.

"That is the talking clock", the man replied.

"How's it work?" the friend asked.

"Watch", the man said then proceeded to give the gong an ear shattering pound with the hammer.

Suddenly someone screamed from the other side of the wall "KNOCK IT OFF, YOU IDIOT! It's two AM in the morning!

A college physics professor was explaining a particularly complicated concept to his class when a pre-med student interrupted him.

"Why do we have to learn this stuff?" one young man blurted out.

"To save lives," the professor responded before continuing the lecture.

A few minutes later the student spoke up again. "So how does physics save lives?"

The professor stared at the student for a long time without saying a word. Finally the professor continued.

"Physics saves lives," he said, "because it keeps certain people out of medical school."

"That's not just a space ship. That's a transformer!"

--Today I watched Space Balls for the first time... yeah, I know... long time coming.

"Now you see evil will always triumph, because good is dumb."

Listening to... Excuse me, Mister by No Doubt
Feeling... gooooood

Two realizations today... One was this morning, when I realized that I wanted some golf clubs... today. So, I just got some!!! (Yes, there was forethought on this fairly big purchase, but the impulse to go for it came today).
The second realization is that if I were to make a list of things that make life worth living, cheese would be on my list. I really do love it. Maybe I'll make that list some day, but for now just know that cheese would be there.

Oh, and note to self: Cannot buy any clothes until September 18 (that was my justification for my golf splurge).

Freaky... I just cracked open an egg with two yolks. Twins! More cholesterol for me... eek.

"When I was five my mother gave me an Oreo cookie. I promptly shoved the entire thing into my mouth and, while chewing, asked if I could have another.

My mother said "You should concentrate on enjoying the cookie you're eating instead of thinking about the next one."

That's pretty much the best advice I have ever received in my life."

Listening to... Goo Goo Dolls - Broadway
Feeling... a monster caffeine-withdrawal headache

Oooouch... I wasn't kidding about the headache. Since I'm nearing the end of my stay in Hotlanta (5 months to graduation, just turned in the petition) I've been working on doing all the things I've been meaning to do here. Among this summer's plans:
1. See Oakland park
2. See the state captiol (and being "tourist for a day")
3. Monday night drag show at Nickiemoto's
4. IPST paper museum (it's directly behind my apartment bldg, I'm just lazy)
5. ATL botanical

I'm knocking out number 3 tonight.

While I'm doing lists, I'll post this list of volunteer jobs I'd like to get into (as a reminder to self):
1. Food prep at Zoo Atlanta
2. Project Open Hands
3. Teacher's aide
4. Train Seeing-Eye dogs

Now if only I had some good short-term job prospects for spring...

Old Song Lyrics again-- I'm on a roll....

"Well, maybe I'll call or write you a letter. Now maybe we'll see on the 4th of July. But, I'm not too sure and I'm not too proud. I'm too sure and I'm not too proud to say (ah-oh) it was good,
living with you (wah-oh), it was good."
-Better Than Ezra (the only band to ever give J,LC a run for their money as my favorite performers)

Old song lyrics:
"God help you if you are an ugly girl.
Course, too pretty is also your doom,
Cause everyone harbors a secret hatred for the prettiest girl in the room."


"I'd never try to give my life meaning by demeaning you
And I would like to state for the record, I did everything that I could do."


-Alana Davis- 32 flavors

Interesting description of Jump, Little Children:
"He lists band ingredients a little bit of electric lead, cello and accordion and upright bass electric and acoustic mandolin and "a tasty little trap drummer. [hahaha] They're each quirky looking in their own way--the hunk, and the nerd, and the artsy guy and the rockabilly guy, without it looking contrived or anything."

Me- I think she (the new grad kid) could be one of our minions.
Green- I think we're cool enough for minions.
Me- Yeah, we definitely have insufficient... minion-age.

As if I could be a bigger fan of Jay Clifford's, I saw him in an amazing solo concert last night. I heard this Rosebud song for the first time. It's nice...

DON'T PUT IT ON

Don't put it on
Last night you were a vision of perfection
Leave your dresses in the armoir
As the evening addresses it's last au revoir
I think we left your scarf on the lawn
And don't put it on

Don't put it on
I'm begging you dear, now that the dawn is near
Leave your jewelry on the nightstand
There's no ornamenting your porcelain hand
And though the night is now dawn
Don't put it on

I love to watch you dress
I'm jealous how your silk caresses you
You are so wonderful
Why put on anything at all?
Don't put it on

Don't put it on
Your naked eyes awake to the rising sun
Leave your perfume on the table
Leave your lipstick to stain my lapel
Your lace, your gloves, your ribbons
Don't put it on

I love to watch you dress
I'm jealous how your silk caresses you
You're so wonderful
Why put on anything at all
Don't put it on
Don't put it on
And I love to watch you dress
I know your room's a mess
But don't put it on

Another song I still love - Honey by Mariah Carey

Oh, I can't be elusive with you, honey
Cause it's blatant that I'm feeling you
And it's too hard for me to leave abruptly
Cause you're the only thing I wanna do

And it's just like honey
When your love comes over me
Oh baby I've got a dependancy
Always strung out
For another taste of your honey
