I've been home for a few days, but I haven't been motivated to write. I'm still a little emotionally numb from an amazing summer. I made a new lj because I think it's time I started a new chapter in my life in ode to senior year. Only add it if I actually know you/talk to you legitmatley. cheaperfumes

Guess who got their ears all did?!?! I got my ears pierced! :-D. FINALLY! I had them done when I was little, but they closed up. The earrings aren't that pretty...just really small and gold. But after 8 weeks I can change them. Dude, I've got things through my ears!!! Sweet! :)

I went to Sam Ash to look for some sheet music and I swear to God I met Mrs.Berkowitz's evil twin lol. I went up to her and asked if she had the music for 'My Immortal,' and I must have stumbled because she looked at me funny and said 'I'm not going to bite you.' She was joking, though. And then I was playing 'On My Own' on the keyboard and she started singing along and then she said 'Yeah, I sang that to my boyfriend when we broke up. I was like, 'I don't wanna hear your crap no more!' And then I asked her about the DD song, and she was stapling something to her shirt and I gave her a weird look and she was like 'I'm listening.' And then she said 'Yeah, I don't have the time to iron this damn thing to my shirt, so I staple it.' I was like 'okay.....' She was so awsome though. I heard her talking to some customers about how people figured she was gothic, and would ask her if se worshipped Satan and during the blackout they all came to her house because they figured since she was goth she would have them. I didn't find what I wanted, but I got the piano music for 'White Flag.' Also, I was playing the latin rhythm from 'Shiksa Goddess.' I was able to figure it out in about 5 seconds, which was cool.

Also I thought this was fucking hilarious...I was walking Mivkey, and Karen was walking Buster, and her son Spencer was with her. Buster started humping Mickey and Spencer(who is 4) cried 'PIGGYBACK! PIGGYBACK!' Me and Karen started cracking up. I've gotta wash my hair and eat something because I'm babysitting Spence, Buster, Jack and Hayley tonight. Adios!

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, Worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere, Going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, No expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, No tomorrow

And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad
These dreams in which i'm dying, Are the best Iâ€™ve ever had
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take
When people run in circles itâ€™s a very veryâ€¦.
Mad World, Mad World

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
And they feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, Sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, No one knew me
Hello teacher tell me whats my lesson
Look right through me, Look right through me

And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad
These dreams in which i'm dying, Are the best Iâ€™ve ever had
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take
When people run in circles itâ€™s a very veryâ€¦.

And I was feeling it and I was just like 'Hmmmm.' And my brother was like 'Maybe it's a joint.' Yes, my family is insane. But yeah, I opened it and was all 'WHOOOO POWERPUFF! WHOOOOOO SMARTIES!' They were tres yummy. Thank you! Happy Valentines Day :-D

My dad's online trying to get tickets for me and my mom to see Thouroughly Modern Millie right now. We were first gonna try for Avenue Q, but there weren't any available days. We then debated against Chicago(no), Beauty and the Beast(no), and Mama Mia ("FUCK no!"). But yeah, I think it's gonna be TMM. My mom wants to see 'I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change' because Sebastian was in it lmao. I also still want to see 'I Am My Own Wife.' My dad also clicked on some random off b-way show and as soon as he saw it was playing the Culture Club he goes 'GOODBYE' and went back. God, he's so obnoxious lol. He's going around the house now screeching 'THOUROUGHLY MODERRRRRRNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!' And I said to him 'Well, how about if I go see Mama Mia and come back screaming Dancing Queen?' And he said 'I would lock you out of the house.' It's weird, I've basically seen everything that I want to see. It's kind of fun debating on what show to see the night before lol. Then I asked my mom about The Blue Man Group and she just gave me a dirty look. *Shrug* Can't get no satisfaction 'round here.

"Let's see the Donkey Club. No, wait-let's see Mama Mia-wait, no-LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS! How about Blue Man group? Abbe, you can dance onstage and get spraypainted."-my dad. He's such a jerk, lol. Gotta give him props, though. Wouldn't be here without him ^_^

Oh my Goodness.

I just listened to a clip of Yassmin singing 'Without You.' I don't think I've ever heard her singing RENT songs before. Oh my God...so beautiful! I'm all teary now. She and Karmine sound very similar. I might need to get a video with her as Mimi now lol.

:(

2004-02-13T18:18:35Z

Well. I won't be going to Cheley this summer. I won't be going to Columbia either.

I know that when I got tested it showed that I'm more 'right brain' than 'left brain'...but sometimes I wish it was the other way around. I feel like the only thing academically that I'm good at is writing stories and poems. But obviously that's not what I need to pass and graduate...the tests also show that I SHOULD be one of those straight-A students. I just wish sometimes that I could be one of those people who easily get good grades instead of just being able to write creativley. And the thing that really pisses me off is that I KNOW I'm really not so stupid that I should be failing math...but I am anyway. I was surprisingly calm when my dad told me that I'd have to go to summer school and not be able to go to Colorado. I won't be seeing any of my friends either. I don't think it's really hit me yet. I think that my left brain died with Kim.

Barbie & Ken are breaking up.

2004-02-13T03:50:23Z

I just watched the old '88 version of 'Into the Woods.' I haven't watched that since at least the 6th or 5th grade...and then I didn't really appriciate it as I do now. I know it's a fairytale...but the message at the end is so beautiful. I was tearing up during 'Children Will Listen' and 'No One is Alone.' Oh my god...so sad. And I actually LOVED Bernadette Peters in it. I hated her in Gypsy...she was just all over the place, and she was slurring and appeared almost drunk, or like she'd been on sedatives. But she was wonderful in this, and she really does have a beautiful voice. And she also looks gorgeous as well. That was taped like almost 15 years ago. Her look and voice have changed since then. But yeah, I loved it.

I still have that nasty feeling in my throat. Why the fuck do I always get sick the day before tests? :(. At least after tomorrow there's a week off.

rosetint03 @ 2004-02-12T16:22:00

2004-02-12T21:25:28Z

What Psych-Ward do you belong to?

I'm sick. I'm getting that gross rising feeling in my throat. I slept until one, and then read some more of 'Desperation,' and then went downstairs to watch 'Full House.' Ms.Wright called my mom while I was sleeping. I have to go to her office tomorrow and sign this thing that says I get extra time on SAT's and Regents. And then my mom started talking about how if I don't pass the Math Regents, I'll have to spend 6 weeks in summer school and all my plan will be ruined. Thanks cheering me up, mom.

And I've officially decided that Mylanta only makes you feel worse.

I love this song

2004-02-12T03:45:26Z

I know you think that I shouldn't still love you,
Or tell you that.
But if I didn't say it, well I'd still have felt it
where's the sense in that?

I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder
Or return to where we were

But I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up in surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

I know I left too much mess and
destruction to come back again
And I caused nothing but trouble
I understand if you can't talk to me again
And if you live by the rules that "it's over"
then I'm sure that that makes sense

But I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

And when we meet
Which I'm sure we will
All I was then
Will be there still
I'll let it pass
And hold my tongue
And you will think
That I've moved on....

I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

YAY FOR EMPLOYMENT!!!

I wonder if she redyed her hair lol. Ah, well. 'Between Us' sounds interesting. Reading that put the biggest smile on my face. It's not that I thought she wouldn't be able to find new work...I'm just happy for her.

And I can't believe I am still watching this season of American Idol. But I like that Fantascia chick. And Randy's getting skinnier each time I see him! (He had that bypass surgery). I still think it's cool, though lol.

My dad updated my AIM and it is annoying the shit out of me...whenever someone logs on, part of a song plays for like a second. Imagine like 10 people signing off and on at once, with their things playing all at once. Chelsea's was like spazzing out, and she kept getting on and offline so it kept going 'HEY, CUTIE, HEY CUTIE, HEY CUTIE...' I was going to kill the computer. And these little pop-ups come up telling you when someone signs on like every 5 seconds...

Ahhhhh Dani just got on and logged off and it keeps playing Madonna. *Pulls hair frantically* AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

And I'm considering showing the debated poem to Daphne. I need an opinion from someone who I actually consider to be a talented songwriter, and will give me something more than 'I lyked it it wuz gud.'

Now to study for Math and Spanish :). Wish me luck tomorrow!

LMFAO

Steph straight2heaven said she and Diana danceinthestorm are gonna make me a B-day sign when they go see RENT and use it to their advantage. Haha. I love you guys. Hope you two have fun at Wicked also!!!

And that girl Fantascia on American Idol is amazing. I was really surprised. Because that's sort of...rare to find, nowadays. Oh well. Time for bed. Night!

Oh my...

2004-02-10T22:03:41Z

I swear to God, during one of my classes, the man I love (who we will call Project X) asked the most idiotic question. Though of course I thought it was cute ;-). We were talking about how hermaphrodites have certain female and male hormones, and so X asked (completley serious) 'If a girl suddenly develops male hormones, will she grow testicales?' Actually, I don't know if it's possible or not, haha. Before I sat down in my seat I hear this 'SCREEEEE!' and I turn and saw he'd moved the chair back and was just sort of grinning. X coulda killed me :-o. And his usual humming as gotten up to the point where he's just singing...so he started singing to the tune of Mrs. Bianchi's song 'La, Cabeza, you're such a little gangsta.' It was pretty frickin funny at the time.

And I have never heard or sen Brian Gligor live, but Meghan's Brian-stories just make me love him nethertheless. He sounds like such an amazing person. And from what I've seen, he's hot as well ^_^.

And during English, me and Mallory discovered something very interesting about 'Lord of the Flies.' You know the episode of FRIENDS, when Joey's talking about how you can make anything sound sexy if you say it in a certain voice? Like 'Chicken Pot Pie...Chicken POT PIE...' Yeah...well, anyway, we were reading the chapter aloud to each other, and Mallory, being Mallory, was saying everything really dramatically, and we discovered WAYYYYY to much subliminal messaging in that book. I mean it's metaphorical and all...but if you REALLY pay close attention, there's a lot of sexual things hidden here and there...you have to read REALLY closely. I found a passage that was just too obvious, and Mallory was reading it aloud and we were both cracking up. Yes, we are immature.

Off to eat Chicken Soup and Pasta! Holler ;)

I love Nikki

2004-02-10T03:51:13Z

Wow. I'm just...in shock. Nikki IMed me saying 'Hey, I just read your poems. Call me now,' so I called her, and she was just like 'You're fucking amazing...how come you've never told me you wrote poetry? I thought I had written some great stuff, and then I saw those...I fucking hate you. Those were just...amazing,' and I was just speechless, because knowing Nikki I thought she was going to ask me if I was okay or something...and then she started talking to me about how I'm one of the only people she can talk to who REALLY understand and listen, because I was telling her how annoyed I was by some feedback from some of my other friends. And then she said 'Jan, you're an amazing person. Don't let anyone tell you differently. From when you're publishing your first poetry novel, to when you're producing you're first play...remember that, okay?' I wasn't only flattered, but I was really glad that we were having a REAL conversation, because whenever I talk to her in school and we're around other people it's just...different. It felt really good, like she understood me. And I'm always feeling awkward because I don't feel like people GET me...but after I talked to Nikki, I just felt...complete, I guess. She's such a great person. I was just so touched by what she said.

...Now I gotta get off, before my parents kill me. Ta-ta!

-Jan

I'm coming out...;)

2004-02-10T02:05:06Z

I had the lyrics to the song 'Higher Ground' on my away message, and Taye IM'd me and said 'Isn't that a big ironic?' and I was like 'Huh?' and he goes 'The songs talking about God giving him another chance.' And I was like '...yeah???' and he goes 'Aren't you an Atheist?'

!@#$%Z&??? Yeah. But what's his point?

'Untitled'

I'm lying right beside you
Yet you see right through me
Fixated on the splattered peeling pastel butterflies on the wall behind me like a Michael Angelo painting
Droplets of paint falling down on the canvas like rain

With each drop, a minute passes

A day
A month
A year
Forever your arms limply embracing me
Lips moving, words incoherent
Eyes staring, but not seeing

Or not wanting to see.

Looking beyond the wall, barricading your view of the life buzzing outside

You gaze.
You yearn.
Eyes full with envy
Empty of spirit
A hollow cookie-cutter form of what was once filled with life and song
Now shackled down by imaginary chains of deafeated hopes and dreams

And I am the holder of the key

We sit in silence.
We stare blankly.
Night falls.
We wait.
