Dear Class of 2006,

Someone apparently died and made me class president. By the way, I'm going to send you obnoxious alumni emails all the fucking time. I also am just a dick all around.

Thank you,
Ian Cross.

I like my mayterm class. I do not like talking about gelatinous milk.

moving to lj finally

It's kind of a let down.
Kind of a lack of existence.
I hated it, and now I hate not having it.

That's right.

I'm talking about homework.

But seriously, it seems that today everyone who finished is sad...in a lonely kind of rootless existence way. I sat around. I had NOTHING to do. Partially good but idle hands are the tools of the devil.

and with that, i love rebecca. we will never be careless. or sluts. or perfect either but that's ok.

moms and other things

Tue, 27 Dec 2005 02:18:49 GMT

Okay, exact situation in the car today:

(I was driving with my whole family in the car, my aunt and uncle following us, as we trek to pick up Leigh Ann's friend to take to Indy with us. Coming back from said friend's house, I am heading north on Raider Road and need to turn left on 36. I turn left in front of a guy who is obviously waiting for me to go because I got there first, even though he is going straight and has the right of way.

Mom: He has the right of way! You can't just turn in front of him.
Me: I was there fi--
Mom: It's not a four way stop!
Me(thinking): DUH!
Me(speaking): I know, he was just being nice.
Mom: I don't care.

(Moments later, while going through Mechanicsburg [Speed Limit - 45] I am cruising and choose not to slow down because Mechanicsburg can hardly be called a town, there are no cops around ever, and the road is wider there. Admittedly, I was breaking the law, and probably wrong for doing so, however...)

Dad(in his best creepy redneck dad voice): You better slow down there, girl. You'd hate to get pulled over in your own town.
Me: Yeah, I know, but I'm cruising.
Dad: I don't care. You live here. It'd be embarrassing to get pulled over here and it's dangerous.
Me: Fine. I don't want to drive anymore. (I pull into my driveway as..)
Dad: No, drive.
Me: No, I don't want to anymore.
Mom: You should drive.
(I park the car and get out and switch seats with Dad. Awkward angry silence.)

Later that night....

Mom: You know, I'm sorry if I indicated in anyway that it was guaranteed you could go to New Year's. After today, I'm not sure if I can trust you especially now that you have plans to go to Chicago again and everything else. (Note: She did indicate I was definitely going to New Year's, I did nothing to break her 'trust' and I just ran the plans for Chicago by her because I wanted her to know. I didn't have to tell her.) If Carly hadn't been in the car and Jeanie and Dave hadn't been behind us, I would have just sent you inside and said you don't need to go at all. (Note: I really didn't want to go, I was under the impression it was a required family responsibility thing.)
Me: I'm sorry, I was just trying to prevent more animosity later in the trip, because it would have happened again.
Mom: You were being so immature.
Me: I was just thinking that instead of making a fight out of it, I would let someone else do it, that's all.
Mom: It was so immature. I need to be able to breathe when you're away. I can't even breathe when you're away and I don't mean that in a bad way. (Not exactly sure what she was trying to say here. But it includes that I'm a bad driver and need criticism all the time, and she always thinks I'm going to get in a wreck, I think)
Me: Ok, I'm sorry. I haven't been feeling good and I just couldn't take the stress of it. I'm sorry.
Mom: Why do you have to make excuses all the time--excuses excuses.(continues to go on Mom-like rant for unknown reasons)
Me: I know, I'm sorry.

So, in conclusion, maybe I'm arrogant and immature, but I think that I was acting mature and humble for my own reasons that my mother may or may not understand. I also conclude that my mother is suddenly worried about my maturity now that I'm 18, and 18 year olds are imfamously immature, therefore, I must be immature, despite how I was when I was 17.

It's totally ok for me to go out a night here with whoever I can and whenever I want to, practically, as long as I'm home by midnight (which is fine with me). But my friends that are significantly farther away can't have any dealings with me over break because I'll get into a wreck/be raped/get kidnapped/be mugged and shot and she worries so much she can't breathe when I'm much safer in all reality staying at someone's home rather than driving all over Anderson with Betsy and Pat til midnight. (It is a good time though, I must admit.)

Or, it may be that I'm totally wrong.

Either way, she just grates on my nerves.

I hope everyone had a good Christmas.

Sun, 14 Aug 2005 07:14:49 GMT

Directions:
1. Leave me a comment saying, 'interview me'.
2. I will respond by asking you five questions. I get to pick the questions.
3. Only respond if you are willing to answer any question that is asked of you.
4. Update your journal with the answers to the questions.
5. Include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.

1. When is the soonest time I can get you drunk? Cuz that'd be cool, I mean, you haven't been wasted with me since that crazy night on Christmas break where we got you drunk on tequila and you kept ramming your finger into my laptop screen. Uhm, let's see. Any weekend works for me, just give me a couple daysin advance so I can call mom to get signed out.

2. What do you really want to do with your life? Do you see yourself going to college in Indiana or are you going to leave me and Pat? Hmmm...well, I can see myself ending up at Purdue for in-state reasons, but i can also see it happening other ways...like me being in Ohio or something ridiculous like that. I don't know what I want to do yet. I think I want to major in some kind of history or anthropology or archaeology or stuff like that.

3. Name the greatest time we've ever had together. Describe it vividly.Oh goodness...only one? I really can't answer this honestly, because we've had so many they've begun to run together in my mind. Just a big conglomeration of all of our times, I think. Although, one very fond memory is your office in the band room, but that wasn't really an event. I did love track with you as well. That was crazy.

4. What do you think of the Alanis Morisette song "Wake Up"? If you don't have it, download it, listen to it 20x, and answer this question. Don't even do this interview until you've downloaded it. I promise you won't regret it. While we're on this music kick, what do you think of "These Words" by Natasha Bedingfield. I want to know. Have you seen the video, with the animated boom-boxes? It's freakishly hilarious. Okay, I just downloaded it today, and I like it. I just got it so I don't have any extreme opinions or whatever, but it's cool. These Words along with the new Foo Fighters song are my favorites of the summer. Oh and the one that has the lyrics, "doncha wish your girlfriend was hot like me.....' LOL.

5. How are you doing health-wise? I mean, I remember your liver was all messed up before, but I don't really know how you are now. I mean, I assume the best since you don't talk about it, but thinking about us drinking together got me to thinking about your liver. Anyway, be honest.Yeah, I don't really think about that liver stuff anymore. The tests stopped and they told me I was pretty much fine with some weird enzyme levels that wouldn't affect me and apparently aren't a sign of anything bigger. I feel fine and I got wayyyyy drunk after Warped and I still feel ok. So i guess that's a good sign, right? ;-)

There isn't any hot water in the showers today. Too many juniors are waking up early. GAhhhhhh. It's so cold.

Love love love and not war,
ellen

I go back in 6 days. With no days of rest until then. I don't know how to cope, or even if i have to. Daphne Loves Derby full-length is out today...Tyler Banks sang into my voicemail from it. It was amazing. (amazing=funny as hell)

I really can't wait to go back but at the same time there are things that could make it absolutely unbearable. I have Pa responsibilities. I have to get better grades so I can actually go to college. It's a lot of pressure right now, I'm counting on getting there and it letting up a bit. I'm worried about the first few days even though everyone says they're the best part of being a PA. Oh well. I'm sure it'll be ok.

*sigh. I'm talking in circles.

it'd be funny to play this for your minister or something....

Mon, 04 Jul 2005 04:40:15 GMT

KATIE WADE! call me sometime dear my home # is 779 4505, I have no way to contact you! We need to hang out soon.

That's really all. Oh yeah and Patrick is totally Douchebag McGee.

I hate this about myself.

I know I was wrong, and I've come to terms, but it still hurts somewhere in my sorry excuse for a heart.

Summer just makes me smile. I get to be at the pool three times a week, and the kids I babysit are great. It's turning out to be a better summer than i had expected....I hope this keeps up.

I don't even know who reads this besides Betsy and Pat anymore, and how many people just skip over it...so I don't know whether I can legitimately say I miss people at all. The fair sucked this year; white trash begets white trash. And throw carnies in there and the whole town is a mess of sex, babies, and smoking 12 year olds from out of town. I'm with Bets, these people are sickening. They settle for everything. Not to mention 'Middletan'. What the fuck. Honestly people, have you no pride left?

Ugh. But, it's been that kind of day. Tomorrow should be better if the mother comes through for me.

The girl with the faraway eyes...

Sun, 05 Jun 2005 04:21:39 GMT

So-Ind=So Cool. LoL.

So my summer has rocked so far and I haven't even done anything *that* exciting yet. I got home Saturday...went to see Star Wars 3...with my mom. Lame, right? Not really, though. It was just what I needed.

Wednesday night: Party at the Mills'. Campfire party, not drunk party. Lots of Mike Jones, some foreign kids I don't know, some bad 80's dance party something or other music, and Capture the glowstick. Oh yeah, Spin-the-bottle too. And both that Corey Webber kid and Toddy were like, 'hey, you look good, call me'. which was soooo weird. I didn't know how to react to that at all.

Friday: Driving down to Tyler's for his grad party...I pulled into town and then the sky decided to downpour and cause a small flood as I'm stepping out of the minivan to end all minivans. Ugh. But the night turned out pretty well, I think. Mostly Cort and I running back and forth from the kitchen filling the food trays, but the reward was pizza and bowling, so I'm not complaining at all.

Today: Waking up about eight times before 8 am...and then driving back home at 8am...it wasn't as bad as it sounds. Getting only six hours of sleep was refreshing and, honestly, kind of nostalgic. And then I umpired two games today, called real good games (and I would admit it if I called a bad game) and still couldn't please a coach to save my life. A common misconception about umpires is that they don't have feelings. Heh. It's hard when you're out there and you have to call the mentally handicapped girl out, hear about it from the bleachers, and then from the coach....ugh.

Anyway, my summer is better than yours because it's only been a week and this week starts the fair. Which means fireworks, goldfish, elephant ears and friends.

I'm so fucking lucky.

Love and Lies

Tue, 24 May 2005 03:02:48 GMT

Ahh five days until summer. I simply cannot wait. I'll be going to a few grad partie like Cort's, Bradley Wantz's, Cori's, Trina's, and...anyone else who decides they like me enough to invite me, which may not be that many...but that's alright.

Summer....swimming and movies and music with the windows down. Umpiring and 4-H and road trips, hopefully.

I cannot wait. At all.

So let it enfold you...

I don't care. I know what's wrong with me. I know you know too and i hate that you know me so well, but i love it too.

Flying

Mon, 04 Apr 2005 03:52:31 GMT

As we dipped through the clouds descending on Indy once again around 2 o'clock today, I stared out the window. Everyone else was too. We were simply in awe of the human race and what we have accomplished in being able to fly. I could barely make out the curvature of the Earth. When I thought about that, I realized how large the world is to us, and how small it really is to everything else. I was nearly 8 miles in the air and could barely make out the arc across the horizon. Looking down on the subdivisions, the baseball diamonds, the reservoirs, and the patchwork of fields, I thought to myself, "This is what we've done?" The endless rows of parallel concrete driveways, skyscrapers that sparkle in the sunlight, enormous veins and interstates pumping cars from place to place. There were very few trees of any consequence, but every so often I could see a set square of maples nestled amid fields. I felt severe disappointment in human society for scarring the landscape in such an unnecessary way. The plans for perfectly circular rotaries and regulations on mailboxes all seem so petty. Meaningless. I have never been one for the tedious; hence my grades now. However, it was certainly belittling to be thousands of feet in the air just minutes before rejoining the world. Upon touchdown, these thoughts were gone, and I know the true necessity of it all in our culture.
