...but looking at the sheer amount of work surrounding me is enough to send me into hiding on the only clear surface in my room - my mattress. Which, by the by, takes up between twenty-five and thirty percent of my room. Ugh... it's just such a hassle to truck stuff (think dirty dishes, trash, dirty clothes in need of laundering) up and down my painful and perilous ladder. Does anyone else get into that vicious "must clean-OH THE HORROR MUST HIDE AND ALLOW MESS TO BUILD UP FURTHER" cycle?
I just did a silly (but free) workout video, so I'm feeling pumped! LET'S CLEAN!
...pray for me o.o

I have lately taken to stalking stranger's journals and shortly have realized that I do indeed have one myself. It is now my incredibly short-term goal to become as interesting as possible so as to merit stalking myself.
That and GADDAM INSOMNIA.

The Rocket Summer - Never Knew (get it out get it out) |
] |
Hey, I'm not dead!
Sorry that I never post.
Or call.
Or contact any of you in any way, shape or form.
Okay, so here's the deal: I went to college, found out that the honors program is a TON of work, adjusted to living in a dorm and buying my own toilet paper and art supplies and getting along with my drunken roommates, got a boyfriend ( ♥ ), and got sick for two months- all of which proved to be too much and culminated in a nasty bacterial infection that got tired of being ignored and forced me to stop DOING so much. I am currently vegetating at home on painkillers and antibiotics... knitting. I HAVE CABIN FEVER.
I know this is no excuse for not even dropping an email, it's more... I dunno, me making pathetic excuses for my air-headedness. I really do miss you guys, I mean, I talk about you all the time and I did see some of you this weekend... DON'T HATE MEEEEE!
Oh yeah, what do ya'll want for Christmas? I get off the 18th or 19th and I'm home 'till the 26th, then back home again the 3rd. And then gone again the 9th.
Feel free to give me a call! Er, on the house phone, my cell is dead. Except Tuesday it'll be charged again.
And I might be asleep.
Call me anyway!

I am going to lovelovelove art school.
<td>"Ways of Seeing - John Berger"
...this has been at the cost of a woman's self being split into two. A woman must continually watch herself. She is almost continually accompanied by her own image of herself. Whilst she is walking across a room or whilst she is weeping at the death of her father, she can scarcely avoid envisaging herself walking or weeping. From earliest childhood she has been taught and persuaded to survey herself continually.
And so she comes to consider the surveyor and the surveyed within her as the two constituent yet always distinct elements of her identity as a woman.
She has to survey everything she is and everything she does because how she appears to others, and ultimately how she appears to men, is of crucial importance for what is normally thought of as the success of her life. Her own sense of being in herself is supplanted by a sense of being appreciated as herself in another.
</td>
I can identify so closely with this essay. Does anyone else feel like this hits the nail on the head? Cat, you're reading it when I'm done.

I feel so happy, I gave blood today! And I got stuck with four sharp pointy things. I love sharp pointy things. Oh, Cr. Hirdt, how I love the irony of your name...
Anywho-hah, life is good. I dread, yet cannot wait for graduation. Not wait, I meant Graduation with a capital "G." Speaking of G, I ought to get to work on my AP Art projects. Yoinks!
I have this feeling I'm forgetting something, but I can't remember what. Graah!

The 1st player of this "game" starts with the topic "6 weird habits/things about yourself" and people who get tagged need to write a journal about their 6 weird habits/things as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave a comment that says "you are tagged" in their comments and tell them to read yours....
Ok, so here goes
1)I chew on myself because... I'm chewy!
2)My full name (according to Becca) is Annie Lea Rankin Czaplicki Klepeis.
3)I dream in color, smell, and pain.
4)I hate getting compliments, but they still kind of make me feel fuzzy inside. I do love spreading the fuzzies, however.
5)I hope that if I die tomorrow, someone I don't know will find my sketch and poem diaries and make up an imaginary friend based on me.
6)My arms are always about three times as tan as my legs because I never really wear shorts.
I tag everyone who tagged me. So there. And everyone else who's had the misfortune to read this far! :D

I found an axe in the woods, and today Alix allowed me to transport it to my house in her car because I'd look really odd carrying an axe past the policeman in Tillson. Yeah! I like it.
Smergh, I'm gonna be so bored this break. But I had fun today! Alix, Catherine, me, and Sean (alphabetical order, baby!) went to New Paltz and got a loverly visit from Jojo in the park!
And Sean fell in the creek.
And Alix and I slipped and got our legs soggy.
And Catherine got the very bottom of her shoes wet.
(In order of severity, baby, yeah!)
After debates on bog-boyfriends, lumpy back pockets and waffle fries, I've decided I love my friends.

Top whatever number of reasons today rocked:

I learned (courtesy Sarah) that I am a sucky driver for no real reason whatsoever, and that it doesn't really matter if you follow the music or the steps, as long as you throw in a few disco moves (courtesy Raphael).
And that "Steve-O" is an annoying stalker. Whatever that means.

Today was weird. I've decided to date... never.
But you knew that.
Anyway, I got told that I'd be fun to rape (NOT funny!) today, AND I was asked out by a forty-to-fifty-ish deli guy at work. In bad Spanglish. Yeah, totally never dating anyone.
Except your mom!
I have a zit! On my chin. Make it go away! I shall compare thee to a summer's badger. Oh badger, please get off my face. For I much loathe thy presence. Thou art more tingly and less lovable. Than a badger. Yeah, I'll stop.
I had a Lunchable for the first time in years. Teehee.
I have so many ideas for stories in my head! Yay, I can't wait to get the plots on paper! Weaving a story is a lovely past time.
Pass time.
SHWAAA.
So, your mom. The end!

Man oh man alive, I've got senioritis SO bad. Anyone wanna skip school with me and travel to, like, I don't know... Jersey with me? We can take pictures of seagulls, then leave.
I've gotta get outta here!
I'm going cabincrazied. I want to hang out with my buds. Most of my buds are far away. Maybe I'll go bother Joanna... see if she wants to play with duct tape or make something fun.
I feel like I've changed in the last few months.

I should so move to Wales. Or England. Ooo, or bonny, bonny Ireland! I've been struck with the urge to get out of America before it explodes. =X Maybe I'll finish art school first. Who wants to go to Europe with me? Maybe if I drag someone along who's multi-lingual, I won't get lost in France or Spain or somewhere.
I'm cleaning my room to make space for a hammock. Now, if only I could find those ceiling joists...
