I added a few of you already, but it's getting late

It's 12 degrees outside right now and I hate that.
I'm going to Florida Friday morning and I hate that too.
My japanese skirt looks pretty cool with my boots, though.

I feel completely unoriginal. My lack of
creativity lately is making me feel sick.
I want to paint and write and stich and photograph.
And I want all of it to turn out incredible.

And on top of all that I want to be smart.
I want to study literature, philosophy,
government, religion and language. And I want to
understand all of it. And when I'm 27 I want to
debate the symbolism in great literary works
with my husband at the dinner table.

And finally, I want to be bragged about.
And no, I don't think that's too much to ask.

so don't ruin it by not doing as I ask.

I got to hang out with Jessie and Angie yesterday.
Then we met up with Chrissy and she's super cute too.
Then I got into Michigan State. And now I'm happy.

Getting haircuts is the best.
Finishing an essay and going to work is not.
I'm going Christmas shopping tomorrow.
I'm going to wrap everything I buy as soon as I get home.
For Christmas I'm getting a digital camera! And a keyboard!
Florida will be a nice break from life here, too.
And I'm sure the month following will save me.
How exciting. Happy December, everyone.

2005-11-27T23:13:39Z

I ate a hot dog and macaroni and cheese for dinner.
I felt like I was a 7 year old kid.

I hate when I think myself sad.

Okay, seriously...

Nine Inmates Escape From Jail, Five Recaptured
YAKIMA, Wash. (Nov. 26) - Four maximum security inmates, including one murder defendant, were at large Saturday after they and five other men used a rope made of bed sheets to escape from the Yakima County Jail, authorities said.

...what?

My break has been good thus far.
Work has been bearable.
It snowed just enough.
I got to see Sean..twice.
I had the most entertaining Thanksgiving I've had in years.
I finally had a sleepover with Angela.
And I got McDonald's breakfast.
Unfortunately, I can hardly stand my computer any longer
and my sewing machine has also decided to gang up on me.

I'm taking a remedial art class for fuck-ups and retards.

2005-11-22T02:45:46Z

Why I've gone from miserable to happy in a matter of 24 hours:
+ My grades are, yet again, kickass.
+ I get to drop Pre-Calc second semester
+ My journalism portfolio is coming together
+ I get to hang out with Jessie and Laura tomorrow and shoppppp
+ No one's blaming me for the computer virus though it's entirely my fault
+ One day of school until break
+ One more cardmarking til the year is half over
+ My shirt making skills are returning
+ I'm going to sleep soon

I'm glad I feel better. I wish I didn't have those little anxiety attacks.
I hope this lasts. I feel really positive about everything right now.

maryloulovesyou @ 2005-11-20T21:20:00

2005-11-21T03:24:35Z

I wish I remembered what it was like to have friends.
I can't remember the last time I felt this miserable.

2005-11-20T20:17:40Z

I think my least favorite thing in the world is waking up to screaming on Sunday mornings and knowing that I haven't anywhere to go.

I'm discouraged, sad and for the first time in a long time, scared.
It wasn't supposed to be this way.

I hate when good nights are ruined by computer viruses and the smell of paint.

2005-11-17T02:22:35Z

Today was wonderful.
It was the first snow of the season and I hung out with Angie and had Taco Bell.
I forgot how much I love driving around, blaring music and interpretive dancing.
Plus, I got a telephone call that I'm still smiling about.

I'm almost done with Sean's shirt. Then I'm making one for myself.
Then I'm making one for Sara. I hope to be done by Thanksgiving.

Apparently I'm going to Florida this coming December.
I might go again later on for awhile and intern at a magazine.

Christmas shopping this year will be the death of me.

MY "X-MAS" LIST
[1] new glasses
[2] digital camera
[3] DVDs, including:
-Rushmore
-Life Aquatic
-The Royal Tenenbaums
-Annie Hall
(more to come)
[4] MK&A t-shirt from FredFlare.com
[5] close-up filter (and all other filters, really)
[6] new black shoes
[7] position of the day calendar from Urban Outfitters

There's more, I'm sure. I can never think of anything when I try to make a list.

I love that it gets dark at 5:45 now.
I love that it's getting closer and closer to Winter.
I thought that I loved Fall, but I don't mind that it's over.
I want it to be white outside.
I want to have candles burning.
I want to wear warm, winter coats.
I want to make my way through the crowded malls.
I don't care if it's cheesey; the holidays make me smile.

2005-11-01T22:14:07Z

Halloween was really nice.
Carving pumpkins was a pain in the ass but it was fun nevertheless.
I did most of Sean's homework for him.
Who knew I was so good at physics?

I have to work all this coming weekend which is just the pits.
So is the headache that I have right now.
But I think I did well on both my tests today.
And I'm starting to understand my math.

Plus, I look like this:

Looking at them, looking at me, looking at them

My mom thinks I need a hoodie that doesn't match my hair.
I think that she couldn't be more wrong.

maryloulovesyou @ 2005-10-29T12:36:00

2005-10-29T18:00:55Z

My mom is watching football and screaming at the television.
I guess that beats her screaming at me, though.

My hair is bright red. Pictures tonight or tomorrow.

Sean, Angie and I went to Stan and Eric's show last night.
It was really cute. I want to see them more.

Making CD's is hard work.
You're late!

My back hurts.
I want japanese take-out and my Annie Hall dvd.

Let's move to Seattle.

So, I've got this new screenname, right.
It's tokyo schmokyo.
I won't be crushed if you don't add it, but maybe
it'll be something new and different for you.

News:
-wrote a short story I liked; going to write another
-falling in love with Photoshop all over again
-met and loved Sean's family
-became smart enough to beat a computer virus
-held myself back from giving someone the finger today
-did kickass on my report card when I hardly even tried to
-The Godfather is one of the most tragic movies I've ever seen. I've never been so utterly impressed with a film.
-felt good about myself
-my dad went to conferences and when my Trig. student teacher said I needed to use my time more wisely he goes "so I said to her 'screw you...bitch.'" I don't care if he really didn't, it was still hilarious.

2005-10-17T21:09:47Z

The only things that made me feel good today were cigarettes
after school and putting on a shirt straight out of the dryer.

I hate it here.

maryloulovesyou @ 2005-10-15T11:27:00

2005-10-15T16:30:58Z

Waiting is unbearable.

I love my new hair-cut.
Pictures: Tuesday or Wednesday.

It's stange how you can think you know something
but come to find out that you couldn't have been
more wrong. And how when you realize what it really
is like, it's okay. And you're okay. And things are just...better.

I want to go to a haunted house.
And I want to know a magician.
And I'd die to be an artist.

I'm updating my journal when I've got approximately
47 minutes to finish an essay that I haven't started.

I got scholarship information at school today and if
I work on The State News at MSU I can get $2000 annually.
That's pretty neat. I'm going to talk to Knudson about it.

I've got a haircut appointment on Thursday and a color
appointment next Tuesday.
Cut:

Color:

You should tell me how cute I'll look.

Angela and I are going to get our nose rings soon.
I feel like we haven't hung out in 3 years.

I drew portraits today in Chemistry.
Everyone was very appreciative for them.
It could've been some of my best work.

My sweater and pigtails make me feel cute & the
smell of fall is one of the most relaxing things ever.

I just despise how I've been feeling lately.
I hope that it's for the reason that I think.
I hope that tomorrow helps.
I know this weekend will.

My grades aren't what they could be.
I hope I can bring them up.

You drive me nuts.
I'm a bad person, but I have a new icon.

2005-10-03T20:06:19Z

It's weird how long its
been since my last update.
Nothing has changed.

Chicago was okay. My camera broke.
The pictures I have aren't
really worth posting in my eyes.

I hate food. Nothing tastes good.

I'm really fucking sick of my icon.

Sean and Angie and I are going to
the cider mill this weekend. Maybe
even a haunted house? I don't know.

I rented Lords of Dogtown.
It wasn't at all what I expected.
I hated Heath Ledger and fell asleep.

You should all, however, rent Crash.
It's one of the best movies I've seen
in a while. Well worth the $4 fee.

What a stupid update. I apologize.
Not really. You can all fuck yourselves if you don't like it.

;the truth is we are not even friends

2005-09-20T20:49:56Z

I leave for Chicago on Thursday.
I'll be back Saturday night.
I've got money to spend and pictures to take.

I like Mr. Schopieray even more
when he helps me after school.
I might not even fail my Chem II test now.

I need a haircut & dieting is really hard.

Things I need to do:
! Pack for my trip
! Study, study, study
! Set up my sewing machine
! Go to the thrift store/Joe's Army-Navy
! Make better food choices
! Buy blank CDs
! Stop worrying over you

My birthday was wonderful.
I'm a horrible penpal.
I say what I think.
I think you're too self-centered.
And I think you're dramatic.
And a big fat liar.
[Clouds in my coffee, baby.]
Chicago in less than two weeks.
But no homecoming dance for me.
I have the most wonderful telephoto
lens in the whole wide world.
