(this is not allowed when the whole family is there for some reason). <br /><br />last night i saw rhett miller. mmmmmmm rhett miller. he put on a great show, and it was tiny and intimate. not only new stuff. really great. i love susan. and man do i love the old 97s. the mountain kids are coming to visit soon. thats exciting in soem ways and perplexing in others. exciting none the less. <br /><br />i guess that about enough rambling. i miss many of my dear old friends, but i am thankful for my geek boys and their cartoons and support. tim and a dog may be getting a place togeather, and that would be sweet. then i may even visit that creepy place i call boone. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:girlgeorge:305236 2006-06-15T20:30:46Z 2006-06-15T20:30:46Z and so.<br />its finally time.<br />for what will probably be the best 3 days of my life.<br />fuck yeah bonaroo here i come. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:girlgeorge:304942 2006-05-14T23:43:01Z 2006-05-14T23:43:01Z i am fairly certain i will spend and incaluable time this summer playing kingdom hearts 2. oh yes.<br />also, im coming to boone and will be staying a day or so. nothing new to report. boss man left town and left me in charge of the front of the house, which is very interesting. <br />also i am re-reading the wrinkle in time seris, and its still freaking brilliant now. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:girlgeorge:304713 2006-04-04T22:12:09Z 2006-04-04T22:12:09Z i finally found legend on dvd. praise tim curry. i am quite thrilled. <br />the only other thing i have to say is.....<br />if they kill off olivia its gonna be a rough night. why! let her have her baby. bring here back.<br />nannet is quitting the diner. jaime and i run the ship. fun pirate breakfast times are in the future. im training in the kitchen to. fun fun. the weather is improving my hopefulness quite a bit. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:girlgeorge:304236 2006-03-22T22:45:42Z 2006-03-22T22:45:42Z so.<br />irs sent my tax return request back a 3rd time. this time it took almost 5 months. apparantly my 6 looked like a 0, so i won't get a tax form in time to file financial aid. so i get to save 2000 bucks between now and next semester. fun stuff!<br />lets just say.<br />holy crap. <br />my life is just so much fun. time for more work. im turning into a very intesting zombie to be sure. <br />WHOSE GOING TO BONNAROO WITH ME?<br />come hell or high water i will be going. priceless. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:girlgeorge:304096 2006-03-22T01:31:52Z 2006-03-22T01:31:52Z shuffffle i almost feel like im really getting my shit togeather more and more. what a lovely feeling. maybe after i've got my shit togeather i can become social again and find some sweet hot lovin. who knows?<br /><br />boston: i had a very good time in boston. some things really never change. parker jones is a wonderful man. i miss him all ready. i will never live in a big crowded city. i do hate them. like i hate public transit. its too damn cold in boston. the art museum was quite amazing. so many rooms of rebuilt egyptian burial chambers and monuments and all that fun stuff. harry potter 6 gets better every time i read it. harry and the potters, however, were on tour in raleigh when i went to find them in boston. typical. i saw a giant imax movie about the ocean with danny elfman music. key. i had to be a super big girl and let go of the best man i've ever had a chance with. but i feel all right about it. <br /><br />nin show: i'm really not sure i want to do anything else for the rest of my life than watch nin. mind blowing, beautiful, and just fucking awesome in so many ways. shit it was great. i love my tim dog and our adventures. WHO wants to go with me to the june show in raleigh? who? god knows i will be there. <br /><br />work: work gets more and more interesting. we hire a very cool new girl whose great. its been a long time since i've made friends with a girl. funny but true. i spent all my time hanging out with my favorite geek boys watching star wars and playing games. (with the exception of sarah and mischelle mainly) so that'll be great. i got a raise on my birthday. in a lot of ways james and i run the place right under our loving managers. its very funny, the dynamics. they hired my looser ex boyfriend of a week and he's never gonna last. god i hate pseudopunk kids who listen to new rock. they should be bludgeoned.<br /><br />school: i have decided i need the summer off. my classes are going fine. im aceing sociology. i really fucked up my last math test and am gonna have to scrape that average up. i had to put 340 bucks into my car. replaced both the front axels. the man who sold it to me is in for some serious sladerish repercusion. scum bag. fuck him. next semester im going to go full time again. i think ill be prepared after a summer of paying off debt and improving my general health. <br /><br />other:<br />i love my sweet sweet rowdy cat. its scrubs and new law and order night. fuck yeah. i bought ween tickets today. i may try and find lila when i go up there. bonaroo. i don't know how ill ever afford it but theres no way i can miss it. god damn. i will find a way. <br /><br />other: we got our new giant tv. it is truly amazing and ghetto rigged. playing giant galaga is like heaven. i spent more money than i should have on my new ipod and it continues to make me happier and happier. i am addicted to it. that is for sure. god bless technology. my grandparents really don't ever cease to out do themselves in worring about me. i can't wait for mischelle's baby to be born. i wish i had more freetime, i need to go see mom and silas.i'm ready to further pursue my major. i like feeling helpful more regularly, trying to teach my silly silly roomate not to let people walk on him. <br /><br />what can i say. life is crazy. <br /><br />WHO WANTS TO GO TO NIN WITH ME! HUH! urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:girlgeorge:303641 2006-03-10T20:55:45Z 2006-03-10T20:55:45Z Im thinking too much because its my birthday, and because it feels like a significant one. Perhaps its because Im very out of my element here in this giant city. i feel like I should have accomplished so much more by now. Being around city year is as inspirational as it is awkward. I had a great time playing with the kids Tuesday. However, much like the mountain, when your not part of it you feel like an intruder in a lot of ways. I feel awfully useless and question my priorities more. I’ve had fun exploring the streets around Copley square, and have seen a lot of cool shit. Saturday im going to the art museum, which is has the Picasso and degas show currently. I’m quite enthusiastic about that. Tonight is china town also. <br />Well, really im not enthused about anything right now. I guess it’s high time I feel off my manic streak. My, errrr, lifestyle has been awfully different on vacation than I would prefer. Yesterday parker and I built an awesome ass fort named Pride Rock and watched the lion king in it. Quality time for sure. <br />So, I guess I get what Lila was talking about on her 20th birthday. That also means it’s her birthday soon. God damn I miss lila. Being around one long lost friends brings to mind others. Amanda plummer I miss you like the fox misses the hound. Maybe crowded cities just make me more lonely than I was before. <br />Stupid birthday. Also, I don’t seem to feel half as confident as usual. Which is strange. I miss working where I feel appreciated. Taking off work makes me feel like a waste. I’m struggling to write my social psychology paper, as of now I’m officially burnt out. <br />Blah. I absolutely hate subways. Almost as much as I hate the francise. <br />I really am having a adventurous fun vacation. Except for right now. Which will pass.<br />Since is my birthday I will shout out some.<br />I am greatly appreciative of timdog, adog, sarah (the last of girls to stick with me), Rodney, charles, long tall jaime, hip hop, mischelle and my upcoming godbaby, my amazing grandparents, and my job. <br />Also.<br />Kurt vonneguts new book rocks.

sold just shy of 1000 dollars worth of food. it was absolute madness. the last few weeks have been madness. not al in bad ways. its been great having susan living with me for the break. i broke up with josh. it was the right thing to do. he is no aladdin. i felt really wretched and he's not so pleased, but it was still the right thing to do. <br />here comes christmas. joy! tommorow i have

it. cause you can't rent it. no you can't. but its brilliant. <br />so.<br />at close tommorow i will have worked 55 hours this week.<br />christmas is crushing what hope i have of paying my rent on

i don't have a fucking clue what i'm going to do. i may well have to sell one of my guitars, which of course i really really don't want to do. <br />i really shouldn't have gone to the mountain. i might have a 3rd of my rent if i hadn't.<br />i made very good grades. one a, 3bs, and one c. but for some reason i don't care in the slightest. maybe because survival seems more important. maybe because i sent away for my tax returns to file my financial aid 2 weeks ago and they still haven't come. my new car is great. i am really frightened to find out how much my insurance is going up. <br />im coming to boone on the 22nd. then im probably coming back to work. and then back for christmas. none of which im looking forward to.<br />i am so tired of scraping by. prospects have started looking dimmer. lila is gone. james is gone. all too throughly it seems. i'm trying really hard to make this relationship work., but im not sure it's possible. <br />dave keeps me trying to look for
