JOBS

we wentr to this weird bar tonight which was actually nice with nice watreses or mesas or mosa whatever waiterss and we had fries or papas frits and a pitcher of beer which i drank most of and then anothe rhalf liter whatever that means and then lily had some iguana driknk which was good with some kiwiw in it and then we saw a lot of americans and then this argentine who loved blues hit 0on us and it was kind of weird but lily wasnt getting all the signals i was sending about feeling weird so she just ignoredme and kept talkingto this weirdo who she later said was "harmless and a good way to practice her spanish" now we are back at the apartment and im wasted and also dont have my contacts in and since its 240 am we are here WAY TOO EARLY for lilys standards.

the good news is lilys boobs have seen the world. and they LOVED it. fresh air. and also in scotland they eat sheep penis stuffed with potatoes. its kind of wirerd but i guess they eat human penus in germany according to aline. just kidding! but that would be halarious. hilariuos? comico. chistes chistes chistes. im drink

i always write that im drink instead of drunk i think it further illustrates the point im trying to prove.

lily loves mashed potatioes and so do i. i love them. and these skinny steask we eat.

steves is stupid and too busy watching tiger woods to talk to jme online duringthe maybe 2 hours online that i am on in argentina and that is sick~! you are sick stev~~!! sick sick scik

":stephen do't go in my room~! blah blah blah blah"

jenny newbyt

this could be the end of all that we know

i think ive gained at least 15 lbs since i got to argentina 3 days ago. its kind of ridiculous. but the food is great here.

i dont know how lily drinks her wine so fast

all i know is that i resemble my mom more now than ever before (black teeth).

tonight is irish pub night. this should be interesting.

ciao besos.

blogger in spanish

hola! estoy en Buenos Aires, Argentina con lily. no se mas espanol.

blogger is in spanish here. it automatically puts all the links in spanish. thank god im fluent. i havent heard american music in days. es una lastima. last night the camping trip episode of greys was on and it had spanish subtitulos. lily gets embarassed of me whenever i try to speak spanish in publico.

ive done a lot of shopping an deverything is really cheap but ive still spent a lot of money and i think that by the time i get home, my $200 for April will already be spent and it will only be april 1st. es una lastima otra vez. si claro. hay muchas perritos aqui y todos son lindos. my spanimsh is very limited but i was having a conversation with some equadorians the other day and i told them about how i know the tasa de natalidad de todos los paises latinoamericanos. thank you spanish 231!

ive heard the song that is currently playing at least 30 times in the last 48 hours. elio sang it to lily. que linda. he's a rockstar claro que si. y tambien a professional jugador de futbol.

its really hot here. and i cant stop comiendo. my feet hurt fromso much walking and my wallet hurts from so much spending. nececito un nap. muchos naps.

well were going to go to dinner at 2 in the morning as usual. we went to a "boliche" the other night and left at 5AM which is considered early and lily was secretly pissed because we didnt get to watch the sunrise from the fuckin disco tech.

were going to go grocery shopping now and buy these steaks that you just throw in a pan and eat. lily says they are increible. they love their meat here. and leather. todas las partes de las vacas. and all the boys here have mullets. its kind of sad. (but some of the boys are cute like elio)

i saw evitas grave and lily is a wino.

don't pass me by

I love being from Schaumburg/Chicago especially when i meet people from Duluth because i know i am automatically better than them.

just get ross and rachel together.

love is a warm gun

i love it when my parents constantly bitch about how expensive tuition is here. and how its draining their accounts left and right. i love that they do this after insisting that i go to any school that i want to go to and that money doesn't matter. i love that they try to make me feel bad about increasing monthly payments and car payments and how its all just SO expensive. i hate that they say this and then refuse to let me transfer when i offer to go to u of i. i hate that they tell me i have a problem with commitment and cant follow through with any school and how its making them so broke. all these privates schools. private liberal arts colleges. everything costs so much money. "audrey were trying to budget, st olaf is REALLY expensive." in fact, they can't even afford to feed eric or axle anymore since theyre spending every single cent they make on my over-priced education. they might have to start selling off family heirlooms just so i can graduate.

well i don't even like it that much. i really don't really like it at all.

this is me being immature.

and i just applied to iowa.

can't stop the overstock shop

so i FINALLY figured out how to put the title on my blog! i had almost given up entirely because i just assumed that since my blog was so old that it just could not be done. but i have DONE IT. its kind of embarassing because it was really easy to figure this time and i've tried to do it at least 20 times before.

As far as my day has been concerned, i skipped basketball and will therefore get a B in the class. GREAT. what a stupid rule. Then i skipped English because i had to study for Arab and also because i didnt do the reading for english so i would have nothing to contribute. It was justified for sure. Then i filled a blue book with the dimensions of the Arab Family, some of which i kind of made up. Now i have to describe all the problems of the Arab world and then solve them in a 5 page paper. This is so realistic. I also don't think i will ever get a 3.0. fuck this B- is a 2.7 policy. WHAT IS THAT! the only other school i know that does that is Johns Hopkins.

I wish my mom would just answer her phone so i can get her credit card number so i can order these boots. there are only 4 pairs left in size 9.5! I'm still almost 100% financially dependent on my parents. This is part of the reason i need to sell my eggs. Since they decided i have to pay for grad school myself, and since i figured out a BA in English gets me nowhere, i have come to no other conclusion but to take out loans and sell eggs. I figure selling one batch (however many eggs that entails i do not know) will pay my rent for a year, which seems like an even trade to me. Plus i don't need all my eggs, i only need 3 good ones. and i don't even need them until im like 30. I wish i could say that i want to donate my eggs because i want to help make an infertile family's dreams come true but its really just for the money. I have no shame.

Also, instant coffee is disgusting. i would much rather pay $1.10 everyday at the Cage than drink this shit in my room for free.

Courtney is living in a single apartment next year and "jealous" doesn't even begin to describe how i feel about it. I've started to take serious issue with the whole residential campus thing here. Its just getting annoying. And the fact that there is an extremely limited number of singles available makes life that much harder for people who just want to live ALONE. sorry but i refuse to be bunking my bed at age 22.

I leave to go to Argentina in 3 days. I'm kind of nervous because I've never been out of the country by myself before and I've never payed attention to the customs part in the past. Lily said its the last thing i should be worried about but i still am. I'm also almost packed! I know i'm over-packing but i need options. I want my mom to take me to Spain this summer. Eric is going with school and I want to go too! I don't think i really appreciated/understood Spain the last time I went so i need a second chance. I also speak better spanish now though still not even close to fluent. Its good to know that 8 years of spanish has gotten me to the literacy level of a 2nd grader.

Wow i sound like a spoiled brat. eh whatever.

Monday, March 19, 2007

i want to donate my eggs for $7,000 each.
get courtney off campus.
i hope for us. i hope for a lot of things but i hope for us most. i hope for this time. cause backing up now would be next to impossible. i know how old this is getting. i really do. just stay with me.

"Sometimes taking off can open up your eyes
To everything that lies in your heart
Cause that's when you miss your home
And the trees seem a little deader
I think we're getting back tonight
Would you care if I came over?
I've missed you about three weeks now
I'm dying just to taste your lips
Could we stomp around your back yard
And wreck our clothes in the mud?"
savestheday


i hate this school

Sunday, March 18, 2007

if you don't care enough to answer your phone or call me back then what am i doing here? i thought we could figure things out today before i leave but it looks like you don't think its worth it. i dont get you at all. im sorry i do nothing but embarass you. maybe you should just find someone who doesnt.

i'm tired of learning about arabs.

im just sick of this school. and learning in general.

i want bangs and need a job.

Thursday, March 15, 2007

staying here tonight was NOT part of the plan.

this school rots.

i want to drop my arab class because i dont even understand the midterm's question.

im also very tired

going to a religiously affiliated school has perhaps made me even less religious.

Decapitated Snow Penguin

I just realized that my flight to Argentina departs 2 hours earlier than i thought. So i hope i can finish my spanish test in time to get to the aeropuerto. PLUS the airport bus goes at 10am and 1pm and my flight is at 2 and test at 1045 so i cant take it. so i hope bri will still drive me. i am NOT paying for parking. anyway my car will probably be stuck in the snow until July so GREAT.

Having food in my room is the dumbest idea ive ever had. Next year i refuse to have it. i want to decorate my single badassly. what a great adjective. I want to have a lot of seating options in case people want to watch movies or something. I've been punching my stomach so hard i think ive bruised vital organs.

The march airedale is really cute and looks a lot like the ix.

I should be doing some reading or something. The fact that im not taking a writing GE this semester makes me feel like i'm never doing the work i should be. My schedule is actually pretty light.

Schedule for next fall:
Spanish 232
English 185
English 221
Art 121 (Foundation Ceramics)

last night i slipped on ice and fell really hard. my hand still kind of hurts and my knee is bruised. and it was all for nothing.

i cant wait to study abroad in Cairo.
i figured by this late in the game you would actually have the common sense to call when you say you will.

im not sure if youre the idiot of if i am.

probably both.

i've had an annoying day.

Wednesday, March 07, 2007

i hate thinking im going to take a nap and then go work out because really im just going to take a longer nap.

ugh.
i hate being a late night eater. i need to stop late night eating. i need to stop eating full stop. (that was a bridget jones thing to say).

baked cheetos < regular cheetos

all baked chips < all regular chips

I'm going to bed before 2 AM! HUZZAH!!!!!!!! whenever i say huzzah i think of a. mst3k the pod people and b. colonial williamsburg.

the whole getting a house thing didn't end up working out. mainly because people still dont really understand the importance of replying to e-mails and partly because everyone and their mom is going abroad next year. like most things i do in my life, going abroad is something i will do after everyone else has already done it, and right at the last minute.

RAND HALL HERE WE COME.

Also an english major is so easy. But i got a b+ on our presentation today and im less than thrilled. I NEED A FUCKING 3.0!!!! and i mean a b+ will get me there but is an A just too much to ask for? Christ, ill take an A-.

Basketball might be the worst sport i have ever attempted (unsuccessfully) to play and i dont plan on every playing/watching it again after this semester. If i don't get rock climbing or fly fishing for my next gym class i'ma throw down.

Even though i pee right before i go to bed, i always wake up having to pee worse than i ever have in my life. this is a recent development. i think it might have something to do with the cancer i have self-diagnosed myself with. i might be a hypochondriac but im pretty sure this is ALL REAL.

i'm more tired today than usual.

i like rachel's hair shorter, like shoulder length. she is just so fashionable in the later seasons. i love it.

how sick of me must you be by now
while you're standing just outside
of what your pride will allow
always reaching into yourself
to find a new way to understand me
when i'm sure that there's no one else
in the world who could withstand me

the first person in your life
to ever really matter
is saying the last thing
that you want to hear
and you are listening hard
through the splintering shards
of your life as it shatters
and you're standing firm
and you're staying close
and you're seeing clear

i took to the stage
with my outrage
in the bad old days
when you were the make-me-mad guy
but the songs
they come out more slowly
now that i am the bad guy
and i say, i'm sorry i'm so crazy
I am astounded by your patience
and you say, believe it or not, baby
the joy you bring me
still outweighs it

the first person in your life
to ever really matter
is saying the last thing
that you want to hear
and you are listening hard
through the splintering shards
of your life as it shatters

and you're standing firm
and you're staying close
and you're seeing clear

how sick of me
must you be
by now?
