saturday at home

i came back to only the dog's frenzied attack to welcome me home, mummykins had severe food poisoning and was knocked out in her bedroom, sister and second brasilian sister were mesmerised by the tv upstairs, and belle-pere was out trying to clean out the pool that's been milky and cloudy for the past two weeks...anyhow, in a rare moment of family bonding all us girls decided to make chocolate covered strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries...meaning that within twenty minutes we were all in the loopy throes of a sugar high, slinging chocolate at each other, spilling it all over the floor and table, and feeding ungodly amounts of fruit and sugar to the dog unintentionally...at the end of which our brasilian darling said, "god is luff, orrrr luff is god and luff is blind....so then stevie wonder is blind and so stevie wonder is god."

ahahahahahahahahahahahah i love you brasilian kid

latest events in order of importance: the  air conditioning is BACK ON, hectic sign up for classes

to do list in order of importance: clean room, wash mounting pile of dirty cups, do laundry, and find a way to start on homework...somehow...

on an activists note...today's day of silence for the lgbt community led to our discovery of what the sign language movement is for "squirrel"...all other conversation is limited as it takes about 20 minutes to figure out what my friend's wild gestures mean...

gesticulating and gleeful that it's the weekend again, Frances

procrastination: destructive on a sunday night

choosing to watch "Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind" was a bad choice as merely 20 minutes into the movie my friend and i were crying, and of course not because anything particularly sad was happening at that moment, but simply out of frustration, fear of growing old and wrinkled and never finding love, silmutaneously realizing the stupidity of worrying about this domesticated silliness, and then at the peak of our teary eyedness yelled to the heavens that we should have just studied.

but more recent news...bruuuuuuuutal sociology test yesterday, bought a new ringtone solely to distract my thoughts from reanswering the questions in my head and to avoid being deskbound again in starting to study, but now as i am not used to it i start and occasionally scream in shock everytime my phone rings.

stress. is. not. cool.

and if my room is any indication of the state of my mind then that means that i've dirty cups, a floor littered with borrowed items of clothing and random shoes acting as trip traps, and a very cramped closet in my brain, all iced off with just the finest layer of dust and the desperation of summer itch.

but really, this morning i was nearly buried alive in my closet by a landslide of very large heavy items in the dark.

friday tomorrow, and it is all that i can think about...planned another monster nap as felt incredibly well rested, perceptive, and generally on top of the ball after my three hour nap on wed, consequently i slept through dinner...anyhow, as testament to my tendencies of obliviousnessosity whilst listening to music i've just found the lyrics of the song that i've been humming tone deafedly and has gotten me through the week...i realised it was semi-wistful but nonetheless i'm rather embarassed to say now that it rather cheered me up...

In a little while from now
If I’m not feeling any less sour
I promise myself to treat myself
And visit a nearby tower
And climbing to the top will throw myself off
In an effort to make it clear to who
Ever what it’s like when you’re shattered
Left standing in the lurch at a church
Where people saying: "My God, that’s tough
She's stood him up"
No point in us remaining
We may as well go home
As I did on my own
Alone again, naturally

To think that only yesterday
I was cheerful, bright and gay
Looking forward to well wouldn’t do
The role I was about to play
But as if to knock me down
Reality came around
And without so much, as a mere touch
Cut me into little pieces
Leaving me to doubt
Talk about God and His mercy
Or if He really does exist
Why did He desert me in my hour of need
I truly am indeed Alone again, naturally

It seems to me that there are more hearts
broken in the world that can’t be mended
Left unattended
What do we do? What do we do?

Alone again, naturally
Now looking back over the years
And whatever else that appears
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to hide the tears
And at sixty-five years old
My mother, God rest her soul,
Couldn’t understand why the only man
She had ever loved had been taken
Leaving her to start with a heart so badly broken
Despite encouragement from me
No words were ever spoken
And when she passed away
I cried and cried all day
Alone again, naturally
Alone again, naturally

angsty poeticism from a man that looked like.

i will probably make the same mistake someday with a song in another language, but as "alone again, naturally" is in very comprehendable english i must must must must must be more present in the moment and attentive...especially if am to ever cushion my embarassment, and perhaps eventually get any sort of work done in the acorn cafe on a weeknight as momentous presentosness will surely act like blinders, and i the metaphorical horsemeat ignoring the temptation to sabotage my study buddy by doodling endlessly on her books, face, and arms, or using coffee as an excuse to people watch, spill all over my really bad writing and notes, and have a closer look at the barista...

must've heard "cheerful, bright, and gay" and diregarded the fifty million other sad words as the tune is just so catchy. ahahahahhahsgkjhakhahahhaha...i'm an imbecile.

the frenzies of the last few weeks of school are poking their spindly little legs through the window of what remains of the shreds of my sanity, not completely present yet, but lurking in the shadows giggling as they think about the stress that the next few weeks promise.

so...faced with the pressures of selecting courses for next semester, thus deciding the rest of my life as pertains to a major then to a job etc etc, i have realized that i in fact have no idea what i want to do other than write, paint, be happy, and try not to beat any possible children i may or may not have...so i'm leaving it up to you!!!!! if you think i should do a major in french AND english please a do not hesitate to comment as such...if you think i should do a major in english and sociology then comment with that...and if you are for moving with me to australia, trying to unsuccessully start our own travel show and then end up eventually getting caught in a number of lucrative ostrich farming scams which will then leave us picking kiwis or the like in the outback until we whither up till our skin is all leathery and tastes of crocodile jerky then please, by all means, share your interest in that aussi...not that i'm freaking out in the leastest...i've only to meet with my advisor tomorrow and perhaps if i burst out in tears of frustration and doubt caused by my own lack of sagesse in that i aka do not have any idea what i'm doing with my life and that i probably went to the wrong school anyways if all i want to do is find a hovel somewhere to paint and be artistic therefore throw away all capital interests and any fiscal happinness for the rest of my life-ooooh, look some cereal...

and i thought that studying for the western civ midterm yesterday was the most of my troubles this week...instead of gagging on a large mocha yesterday after my friend made me laugh very publicly i wish i had choked on it...regardless of the amount of laughing and disgusted looks that resulted...woe is me, melodrama is my bedfellow and facebook stalker, Frances

10:39 pm

so, was innocently looking up pictures of istanbulanese birds on google images and was astounded, shocked, and appalled to realise that a picture of my face is one of the results...well, then proceeded to type in the names of some of my friends and with my best fry up came pictures of franz ferdinand sheet music which was rather fitting, but then for my unsuspecting victims after that it went to a pony, pocahontas, and then a picture of this rather despondent clown, to which i bust out laughing spitting everywhere and temporarily stopping breathing while trying to hide it from my roomie, therefore, if anyone had cared to look my way at that moment would have been met with the sight of moi gagging with my face two inches from my laptop screen showing THIS

6:19 pm

back at school, and mysteriously ill again...however, must keep one's chin up as only a month of school to go until the summer vacances! then will be free to join the legion of swarmimg college students clamoring for a summer job...also have to start thinking about courses for next year already...am zeroing in towards creative writing now moreso than literature...herrrrrrrrmmmmmmmm...perhaps need a magic eight ball? or just a mysterious jabbering bald man with tattooed head to help make decision...the weeks are getting busier, the days warmer, and my mood frantic-er...hasn't reached a fever pitch just yet, and with loudon wainwright's music to keep me upbeat through the long evenings, and dance party's penetrating and poking large holes as study breaks will somehow scrape by with bruised elbows and raw knees :)

spring break...

8:52 am

weather:pitiful

usage of new bikini:slim

work done: 0!!!!!!!!!!

amidst the godfather marathon, food network, and vh1's rock of love what's a girl to do upon returning home...in my case, it's walking into the kitchen after a failed tan-fest at the beach and finding a rented riverdance dvd...and my family actually plans to watch this?  i leave for college it results in the degradation of my family's moral values...only the dog is the same, and he did try to eat my laundry.

one bad mama jama, Frances
