A hole in my heart that leads to an endless abyss

I don't know why I bother with this any more. I can't write anything in this that's too personal to me, I can just as easily write it down in a note book, and If they tried to take my note book I would kick their ass. Probally less then 10 people actually read this, and half of those people are the people I do things with. I don't think I like the Idea that people can read this with out my knowledge. Barely nobody comments so I feel like I'm talking to a wall.... a wall that occasionally talks. Most of the comments are for my pictures, very soon, this site could end, and I'll only use my photo site. I always leave things out because I'm paranoid, and afraid someone will read this. Maybe I will switch over to Live Journal and make it friends only. Or go back to old fashion journaling.

Anyways. Yesterday. I went to whole foods with my stepmother, then we went to this organoc food co-op farm where you buy a food share, and you go and get local organic produce, at the farm. Then we came home and ate the variety of salads we got at whole foods, (I got shrimp scampi pasta salad, and a plain leaf/spring mix letttuce salad.) After that my step mother had a hair appointment, so I asked her to drop me off at a small town by our house. It's called new hope, and it's completely filled with new age stores, cafes, music stores, poster stores, Art galleries, tattoo parlors, and other cool shops. There are a couple vintage clothes shops, and I found a exican grocer which made me happy. Any way I bought some presents, My dub narcotic sound system cd, and alot of drinks it totals, two lemonades, one vanilla cola jones soda, an espresso, a coffee, and a berry lemonade jones soda. And I got a black and white cookie. After that I rreturned home, and decided to go for a walk. I took a two hour walk, and then took a shower.

Music for the day, Neutral milk Hotel, Starlight mints, Dub Narcotic, Nada Surf, New Pornographers, and other stuff I don't remember.

Good Day.

I just took a huge walk. I mean huge. I had to avoid a short bus, slid down a hill, dodge more traffic. and other stuff, to much to tell. I got two ticks on me, and I had to remove them before they killed me. I did alot today, but I don't really feel like talking about it right now, So you can make up your own stories to what happened. Share if you wish.

I will tell you I bought a dub narcotic sound system cd. for 6 bucks, full length. Love it.

Since It's all the way back in the archives here's my address for when I'm at Snow Farm.

How come I get the girl gun?

7 day forecast, 90% chance of busy schedule

Hello Hello My good friends. After my dad and step mom got home from the gym today we talked about how to prepare my photo portfolio. It was a good conversation, and I think I've made some head way as to what I want my portfolio to say about me and my views on the world. After that we made the descision to go out to dinner and see a movie. We went to Penang, the resteraunt, not the city, for dinner. It's a Thai/Malyasian resteraunt. It was delicious. We all shared Mango Chicken, Shrimp and Asparagus, and Pad Thai with shrimp. Pad Thai is by far my favorite dish ever. I got a Malyasian Iced tea, which was tea with coconut milk, and some other stuff. For dessert we again shared three things. A mango Pudding over shaved ice with some flavor, and mango strips. That was good, the pudding was kind of like a jelly substance. Then we also got a shaved ice thing that had coconut milk, some kind of syrup, and other stuff. I didn't like it as much. I had Jelly, and corn and weird stuff for me in it. If it was just the syrup, and coconut milk I would have been fine, but It was beyond my taste. Then we got Mango sticky rice. That was delicious. It was sticky rice with again coconut milk, with mango slices on top. It was truely delicious. The meal was really just great. Then we went to the movie theatre, and we saw Mr. and Mrs. Smith. It was good, lots of cheesy one liners, which oddly enough I enjoyed, and Brad Pitt's and Angelina Jolie's chemistry was good. It was as my dad put it his first romantic comedy with guns in it. The choreography at the end was particularly good, and was a nice way to tie the beginning to the end, which was enhanced with music, a tango I believe. But after the movie In the car ride home is the part I fear most. For my step mother, and my dad always make sure to pick out the incongruities. And I always wait for the part where one of them asks, so what did you think, I don't answer, In hopes that the one not asking the question will pick up the ball and note those incongruities. Even if they liked it they still have something to complain about. Whatever. It was a good night. Better than I expected.

This week I plan to:
finish reading One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, and Start my next book.
Select 8 pictures for my portfolio.
Contact schools about visiting them the second week in August.
Get all my music onto my dad's Mac to put onto my only Mac compatible ipod.
Walk to New Hope (over 5 miles one way) maybe not though.
Send out all the letters I've been meaning to send out.
Listen to every single one of my 140 cds. not an easy task.
and some other stuff. I think I'm going to go to sleep.

What time is it?

We were at bethany beach at night, and two boys walk past on the boardwalk. We were playing frisbee at the time, and Leah says something along the lines of we should invite him to play, I think she was planing on starting a game of ultimate frisbee, and we needed more players. Well we saw this kid later on the boardwalk, and he was alone, his friend went to go get something to eat. Leah tells malin to go ask him what time it was. (There was a gigantic clock behind him) She wouldn't do it. So Leah went to do it, he didn't get what she was REALLY intending, and he pulled out his cell phone, and told her the time. It was alot funnier in person. We kept looking at this guy, and he eventually noticed. poor kid. when Leah got back she said, "some people are even more stupid than I am." It was funny.

We were on the boardwalk at Ocean City, and it was right when we got there. We see to guys walking down the boardwalk in the opposite direction. The one was talking to the other, and he said, "Yeah I tried the whole not showering thing for 3 weeks..." and we lost it. We started laughing, and his friend turned around and shrugged at us.

We feed seagulls. We buried Nathan in Sand. We feed seagulls by throughing them on Nathan while he was buried in the sand. That was good. We bought some boardwalk fries and feed the seagulls, they were crazy. I started throwing them close to Nathan, and they were almost brave enough to get them. Nathan wanted to catch one really bad. But that didn't happen. So we got bored and buried him in the sand. Then we went back to feeding the seagulls, by putting them on Nathan's back/ ass.

Pictures as soon as I figure out how to do it with out messing up my dad's computer.

Vacation

I got my SAT scores. I don't know what to compare it to. With the new sections and everything, I'm confused. I got a 620 on critical reading, a 650 on math, and a 570 on writing. I got a 10 out of 12 on the essay form.

The beach was awesome. Highlights you ask:

-Scraped the skin off of my nose, chin, and forehead.
-Got my hair put up in little pony tails.
-Went into a music store and didn't buy anything.
-Ate more red meat than I have ever in a week.
-Played Padiddle.
-Didn't get burned, almost.
-Found out I am highly uncoordinated.
-Also found out you can fit five people on a queen size bed, but not comfortably.

So many more things.

quotes-

"Do you know what time it is?" -Leah
"What's that in my ass?... Oh it's that shit."
more to come.

I was listening to the radio in Leah's Grandparents car, and the Green day (Green Day?) song came on I hope you had the time of your life. It was right after I left my friends, and I was feeling sad, because of course I'm horriible with goodbyes. That song just has that feeling of completion, and ending. It made me even more sad. I wish I could have had more time to spend with them. I'm so bad with goodbyes I would rather just leave. I always make it awkward, or something. This will be my last week of posts for a month. I feel really depressed. My parents are watching a comedy, might help.

Thanks to all my friends over the past year. Last year at this time I had no friends to miss when I was gone. Not like this. These past 6 months had the highest and lowest points in my life. I'm glad I had both though.

When You guys get back, what is the song that was always on. I feel like it was a Springstein song.

Because behind it's doors, there nothin to keep my fingers warm

I used to hate the Death Cab song new year, you know the first one on Transatlanticism. But the lyrics are fabulous. That entire album is really good, the song transatlanticism is proobally my favorite though. I did like Photo Album though. I just hope that they don't become sell outs now that they're on Columbia. It seems like that's not what Ben Gibbard would be like.

New topic, goodbye every body.
"By the way it says balls on your face."

"Don't talk about Knights in front of Mark, it's a sore subject."
"I'm gonna kill that Mother-Fucker."
"Pun intended?"

Goodbye, farewell, amen.

Hello, it is 10.55 do you know where your child is? I am sitting at my computer, while all my things sit up stairs, actually yelling my name saying, pack me, pack me. I played Scramble with Hank just now. And Nathan and I had plans to go do something, but his mom wouldn't let him, since he had to drive tommorow. I would have expected to be pissed about that, but I'm over it. I noticed how much Packing I have to do. I was just on the phone with my dad, who is in Signapore (spelling so wrong?) and he said he was hot, I asked where he was, He replied, Chinatown. I have come to the conclusion, that every city that is anything has a Chinatown. To clear up confusion, Signapore is 12 hours ahead, so at the time this was written, 11.07 p.m. on saturday, it is 11.07 in the a.m. over there on sunday, so therefore I was able to wish him a happy fathers day. This is my last post for this week, next week I'll be back, but then I'll be gone for a month. I need to pack, and I have alot of it. The Schmalz's are going to be superpissed, or something. My last night at my house for two months. I'm going to miss my mom, and even Hank. And the pets. I hate the last nights of things. I feel like I'm abandoning, or being abandoned (by) the people I love. I'm no good with goodbyes. Some nights when I was leaving my dad's when I was young, I would cry till I feel asleep. And its going to be really hard to leave my friends at the end of this week. I haven't gotten a chance to see them for a couple weeks now. But I guess we get to see each other for a week now, which will rock. Okay, stop distracting me, I need to pack. Goodbye, but not forever.






I'm so bad with good-byes, I cried during the final episode of MASH. But they had good writers. I know, I'm a dork.

Down in the Depths of all things vile and wicked, the Silver haired whores come out to romp

yard sale insanity, vultures hovering snatching up costume jewelery, and faux crystal vases. Blue haired, old foggees (sp) trying to barter with you for a glass that costs 10 cents. help. someone please visit me. garrrhhh

You and I thought I was done. But I'm so bored I can't help, I came up with so many more tonight, you've seen a fraction of them, I was thinking of pranks too.

-Unplug everything in a house, and unscrew every lightbulb a little bit.
-Switch the tapes, and DVDs from all the cases in somebody's collection.
-Dress up in a deer costume and gallop on roads.

Sorry, no now i'm done. I'm so out of it.

nada surf

every time I hear these lyrics I get happy. I really don't know why.

it’s like flowers or ladybugs
pretty weeds or red beetles with dots

Walk in a parisian gothic cathedral of DOOM!!!

So I was laying in bed at 8.00 listening to music, and feeling despondent when I decided to get up, stop being all depressed, and simply get over my self. I had so much energy, and since my previous plan was to go to sleep, I decided to take a walk. With out even thinking about it, I grabbed my cell phone, my ipod, I turned down 170 and I started running. I ran to about the baseball fields, then I started walking, because I'm a lazy ass who can't run without having an asthma attack for very long (I don't have asthma) So then I turned down Dobbins road, and I walked to that road that I never remember the name of. I walked down that until I got to 224 and then I walked to the Giant Eagle and I bought my mom some dark chocolate, and Twisilers (sp?) and I got a red bull, and an Ice tea. I headed back, I called my mom telling her my homeward progress, and then watched CSI with her while we ate our confections. I was so glad I got off my depressed emo ass and walked. That is the best feeling, to get those endorphins flowing through your veins. It wakes you up, and cheers you up. I always feel good after walking.

In a world where driving is the primary means of transportation, we tend to miss the important things in life. The peaks of the white picket fences get blurred in with the wiffle balls flying from the plastic bat of a child playing with his father. You whiz past the old man with those gentle wrinkles in his cheecks, blowing his grass clippings away from his perfectly manicured lawn. The girl in a tie dyed shirt sitting in her drive way becomes second in your mind to the trivialities (sp) of your everyday life. I want to live life to its fullest. I love to slow down even for just an hour like that and listen to my music, and look at the trees and the birds, and those deadly looking clouds glaring menacingly at you like gargoyles atop some gothic structure in the middle of paris, (yes I just compared Poland Ohio to a gothic church in Paris) but you never see the beauty of even Poland, when you get caught up in the fast paced world we live in.

Such striking images. The fathers laughter when he tosses that wiffle ball to his son. I never got that. Yeah, Hank filled in, but in the back of my mind, I knew, it wasn't the same. Maybe that's how artists are formed. Sure they have that talent, but they have to be fucked up just enough so that they are good, but not to much so that they kill themselves. I always love to see fathers and sons. It makes me happy. I saw a father and his 9-11 year old son at the mall, and the look on the kids face made me happy. Funny thing I was actually with my dad.

I walked down the middle of a side road today, looking up at the clouds listening to music. It was beautiful, If a car hit me, it would have been a good way to go. I was listening to Stephen Malkmus at the time, Pig Lib, and one of the lines of one of the songs was "scars on the rain drops" and then one rain drop fell from the clouds and landed on my nose. No more, It was the only one of the whole night. Even though it was overcast.

I probally already said this but I do my best thinking when I walk. I, as I said yesterday, set my life to music, and let it be my sound track. I just think. And I have to write it on my hands, or I'll forget it, by the time I get home, because Inever remember paper. One time I was in the woods, so I wrote the words in the gravel and took a picture of it. I couldn't read it, but it triggered the memory. I think about songs, and people, and the past, and the future, and all things on the earth and some things not. I would say sky's the limit, but that's not true, I thought about planets today. The only way I can describe it, is that I think like five year olds do, and I totally let my mind wander into what ever direction, and I let my feet do the same thing. And I always wind up with the same happy feeling. Because then my minds eye sees things it normally doesn't see. I slow down I live in the moment, but my mind is else where. I think the Native Americans call this a spirit journey, only on a smaller level. Some day I just want to pack enough food for ten days, and camping equipment, and just wander where ever my feet take me. Then after five days, I wander back. And hopefully I hit a road that will take me back to where I want to go, if not, just wander some more. I think I could get some good thinking done that way.

Now I'm just rambling. And I could probally go on for quite a long time. I suspect you tire of my mad ramblings though. Lacking general coherency (sp).

It would help if I knew how to spell. Now some lists

-I know these are really cheesy, but hey, I have red bull in me and I'm bored, besides half of them I was thinking about during my walk.

This is already to long, and the fates will strike me down if I continue on with this drawn out conclusion to my story. This could have been summed up in saying I like to walk.

Goodnight all.

Sunset at the theatre

Cool tree in the woods

Caparso and Daley

Glass with diet peach snapple

That's me, old Jackass Geiger

Malin

kevin killed me

-my way is not very sportsman like.

My mom and I ended up watching Princess Bride Last night. I think its the first time she watched it all the way through. I was really bummed, but the movie made me feel a little better.

-I wonder if he is using the same wind as we are using.

-murdered by pirates is good.

alot of good lines. How can a movie about true love be bad, especially with oversized rodentia.

Music

The books that have been purchased for my reading list.
-One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey
-Nine Stories, Catcher in the Rye, Franny and Zooey by J.D.Salinger
-Slaughter-House 5 by Kurt Vonnegut (is that how you spell it?)
-Selected Short Stories and Poems by Edgar Allen Poe
-On the Road by Jack Kerouac
-Catch-22 by Joeseph Heller
-Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach

I still need to get The Jungle by Sinclair, and I think I have another one that I'm forgeting.

I slept really good last night. I've been going to bed so early lately though. Since I haven't been going anywhere lately, I've been getting to bed before 11. I wouldn't go to bed that early during school. So now I've been getting up before 8 or 9 everyday. This is not my normal sleep schedule.

I haven't listened to Built to Spill's album Keep it Like a Secret in probally 6 months then all of a sudden I got the urge to listen to it, It's weird how you get those urges to listen to something all of a sudden. Actually I'm listening to it right now.

I love how music can take you back to a better time, or not even necessarily better, but to a good time. A time that you connect to a certain song, and everytime you hear that song, you think of the memory associated to it. That's how my brain works any ways.

I put a soundtrack to my life. This is probally going to be embarassing, but when I listen to music when I'm out taking pictures or driving in the car, or sitting in a cafe I take that music and apply it to my life, almost creating a mini movie scene that would fit with both my life, and with the music.

I read over this and it has no transition whatsoever, but I don't feel like fixing it so try and suffer through it.

below is supposed to say jiggle i just can't type

joggle

I get a weekly email from itunes telling me what is new in music, as if I don''t allready know from much more reliable sources. But I don't kow how to stop it so every week, when I visit yahoo mail I get excited seeing 1 new message, only to bebrought down to see it is the crap itunes email about mainstream crap. It always depresses me to see the top ten list. In first was black eyed peas. I don't know anything about them, but whatever. Next was holla-back girl by gwen stefani. This is my lest favorite song ever. I loathe it, if some one is listening to it, I want to destroy whatever they are listening to it with, and then take them out. Third is a mariah carey song and fourth is Kelley clarkson. Some where around 8 is weezer with Beverly hills, which is probally the worst song to come from them except for the rest on Make Believe. Music is so disappointing these days. I don't understand how so much crap can be put out into the world, and people will listen to it.

The word paw thoroughly amuses me. I don't know why, but it does. Same with jiggle.

Stuff and Stuff

I decided that it was going to be easy business telling finding out travel arrangements for the beach. I was wrong. I was calling Leah, who was asking her mom, and then I was calling my dad. I ofcourse wasn't asking the right questions, and all parties were starting to get pissed at me. So eventually Leah, being the smarter between the two of us, just asked for my dad's phone number, making it easier for all.

I await my sisters phone call she promised not two minutes ago. She was getting off a plane, and I made up the word beauracrit. Did not work in sentence structure. I stopped mid sentence and thought to myself, no jack ass, your wrong.

I got some great things at Pat Catans today. Hemp (two sizes) beads, charcoal paper, pencils, sharpie, stuff for textiles studio at snow farm, and some other stuff.

I don't think I every wrote about why I thought the White Stripes CD was a mistaken purchase for me. I've listened to it again, and I think the conclusion I've come to is that it is just so different than their other four albums. (I really just should his other four albums, since Meg White contributes little in the greater scheme) This album has that blues/folk feel to it. I think its totally different from previos material. I was a little thrown off by the music video released for blue orchid. I didn't like it at first. I was just expecting another elephant. Which it is not. I do like the album though, just not the same way I like Elephant, or their first. Different music cannot be classified under the same rating.

I started this 2 hours and 45 minutes ago

Shopping

In the bottom right corner tool bar on my computer I have a little indicator that tells me if I have any new messages in my g-mail account. I had just commented on my blog so I knew there was one there. It said no unread mail, so in an attempt to be overdramatic about it I stood up pointed at it and screamed, "that is a bold faced lie." After this occured I resumed my seat and procceded to check my email. It made me laugh at how ridiculous I am.

So my mother and I went to Pizza Joes to get my check. Then to the Alltel store where we purchesed cell phones with attached service plans. After that we went to the Mocha House for Lunch, and then to the dollar store, we couldn'r find what we wanted, so we went to another dollar store. After that we swung by Barnes & Noble where I got the new White Stripes album (relized mistake) and 4 books on my list for 44 dollars. Then after that we went to Pat Catans where I got Art supplies, suprise suprise, then we went to Schwebels thrift bakeryoutlet, and got bread, and those little ice cream sandwiches. We made our final stop to The Giant Eagle where we cashed my check, cashed some rolled change, and got aleve, advil, and A&W. We went home, thoroughly exhausted for 4 hours of shopping in the heat. All in all great day, only now i have to go to a meeting with three members from the troop counsel of my boy scout troop to get my eagle service project approved.

I what a joy it is to have central cooling.

Today better be a good day. I have alot of exciting things lined up. First off I get to go get my check from shirley and judy. woot. Of course some one else might work? who knows.

Work with Floyd

Oh dear. I am tired. And dirty. But I think my sister and I are going to the Ben Folds concert in Brooklyn. Atleast I hope we are. I worked with Hank today. It was asd to see his helper Floyd. He lives in a trailer park, but doesn't have any electricity. He had a job but he got laid off. But they never actually laid him off, so he never qualified for unemployment. He has a truck, but it doesn't have a drive shaft. So he rides his bike to work. Actually he rides his bike every where. Since he started riding his bike, he's lost alot of weight. So his pants are way too big. But he can't buy new ones, because he doesn't even have money to get electricity, he has an air conditioning unit, but that also needs electricity. Hank thinks he's either alittle bit retarded, or he has severe substance abuse side affects. So he has trouble understanding things like humor, and sarcasm. He's a good, fast worker though. He was really nice too.

I cleaned my room last night, and I found things I didn't even know I owned. And I found a whole bunch of hemp.

I have to get up at 6.00 to go work with hank, but since hank put in a load of laundry, when I wanted to, I have no bed sheets. I had to do two loads too. So the first load is just going into the dryer now. Swell day over all.

cookies

-I hate that smell.
-What? Cookies?

I really should do some work, because I'm not doing anything else, but I really am not in the mood to work. I would take a nap, but then I'll just either be up real late, or wake up real early. And I have nothing to fill the void of a sleepless night. I have to get up tommorow and work with Hank. I don't want to, but he's going to pay me 7 bucks an hour. Maybe I'll clean my room. I need to do laundry too. Great that occupies a good two hours.

I ran over my copy of Night at the Opera by Queen with a chair on rollers. I had to burn a replacement. I put that in there because I know you care, obviously.

Cameras, bowling, free socks

I woke up at 5.30 and couldn't get back into a deep sleep, so I had restless sleep for a nother 4 1/2 hours. Sucked. I hate that more than anyother. I went bowling last night. I had fun, all of us seemed alittle bummed though. Leah and Chelsea had to work the next day. Kevin had a headache. And I don't know what was wrong with me. We messed around though. Infact maybe it was just me that wasn't into it. We were fighting alot, not actually fighting, but mock wrestling. This is really hard to explain. I kept trying to bowl for Kevin, and he would chase after me and try and stop me. Then chelsea got involved.

This next section is long and filled with alot of camera tech stuff, I tried to explain, but I'm not very good at explaining stuff like that.

I could not figure out why my camera shutter speed was so low. It was at ten seconds. I had it on apeture priority, which automatically sets the shutter speed depending on what you set the apeture at. I usually leave it on the lowest setting so the shutter speed can be as high as possible, the lower the apeture value, the faster the shutter speed. So I leave the Apeture at 3.5 usually. This usually gives me a shutter speed of 1/10 of a second or 1/15th of a second, because it is so dark. Last night I had it set to 36 and therefore the shutter speed was at 10 seconds. I got pissed and put my camera down then it dawned on me right after I threw the ball one time that my apeture was set at 36. I'm sorry about this long technical worthless post.

My mom and I went shopping this morning. I got some Blank t-shirts for doing some stuff with. I got a towel for the beach, and I looked at cell phones. I saw Travis at Target, and then I saw him again at Best Buy. I can only infer from this that he is stalking me. I'm sorta tired. But I want to get these pictures printed out. My printer on the other hand, does not want me to print them out. Its just sitting there and not printing anything.

I talked to Ron today, I love that little Asian man. He makes me happy.

Yeah since my printer hates me I'm going to take a nap.

Waking up at 8.00 on the first day of summer

My sister and her fiance were just here. We had a nice breakfast. I made plans to go to their apartment in Niles next friday.

Yesterday I made Mrs. Holub think she was insane or something. I put on a shirt over top of my other shirt at the end of first period. As I was walking out she stopped me and said I was looking very hippyish and said she didn't think she saw me wearing that all period, She thought she was going insane. I said nothing to ease her mind. Yes I was wearing it, you are going insane.

I'm a bad kid.

Title

My family and I went out to dinner tonight. We went to the fireplace, where we saw none other than Ashley Mitzel. Oh yes. I could feel her staring at me, but I refused to make eye contact. Then my mom dropped me off at Rachel's where, I looked through the 8th grade year book, and watched the first half of Breakfast club. Then Rachel took me home. We had to stop because there was an accident on 170. Now, I think I'm just going to read, because I have all this energy built up from this morning, but I don't feel like watching any of the movies I own, or listening to music or anything. This next week is going to go by real slow. I have nothing to do, Which is about the only week this summer that that applies to.

I used the stamp pads in the art room, and stamped a little pattern on the back of my hand today in art. I used the back of a dry erase marker. I used two different types of ink and it looked really cool, but everybody asked me what it was, which kind of pissed me off. I draw on my hands all the time. It's ink who cares how I did it. I just did. One day I want to just say that I have no idea how it got on there. Flip out and say I found it on my hand when I woke up, and it wouldn't wash off. Shake them up a bit.

I had some good teachers this year. And everytime I have a good teacher, I tell myself I'm going to thank them in some way, but I never do.

Oh, I wish I had some new movies.

This summer

Happiness is singing Bohemian Rhapsody in Perkins at 7.00 in the morning
Happiness is 25 cent ice cream sandwiches
Happiness is a week at the beach with your friends
Happiness is a month at an art program in the foothills of the Berkshire mountains in Mass.
Happiness is a week with my sister on the Jersey shore
Happiness is new music and new books

This better be the best damn summer ever. How couldn't it?

SUMMER.

I am so excited to get my summer reading bought, and to get letter writing stuff, and get summer music, and to get hemo, and get sunglasses, and go paddle boating, and all the stuff I have planned. It's going to be so weird. I love it.

Walking

I just took a nice 3 hour walk. I went everywhere. I went down Christopher, then down Jennifer, then the street off of North Lima that leads down to the woods. Then I walked all through the woods, taking most of the trailsending up by the Entrance by where the Middle school is. I walked from there to Library (closed) so I went to go to Walgreen' which my mother said had opened, when oh wow, I noticed Selah's was open, they're open till 9 on all weekdays they're open now. So I went in there. I talked to Brian for a while, and then took off with my Italian soda. I then walked home.

Walking by oneself is such a nice experience. Listening to music really just lets your mind wander, it goes in so many directions, allowing you to listen to things in a new way, all of a sudden you understand lyrics earlier not understandable.

I saw Paul Hay by the Middle School. He hung out the window, and gave me the rock symbol (index and pinky fingers) and yelled Geig, Not Geiger, not even Geig's as many have become accustomed to saying. Geig. Cracked me up. Music was good. Nature even better. Bad pictures though.

Breakfast tommorow, before our last day as Juniors.

When I'm out walking I strut my stuff yeah I'm so strung out
I'm high as a kite I just might stop to check you out
let me go on like I blister in the sun
let me go on big hands I know your the one
body and beats I stain my sheets I don't even know why
my girlfriend she's at the end she is starting to cry
let me go on like I blister in the sun
let me go on big hands I know your the one...

I'm going to go for a walk soon. I will be gone for 7 months this summer. I only have one week left in this place. I want to make the most of it.

List of things to buy...
-Summer Music
-Letter writing stuff
-Summer reading list
-Cell phone for easier communication over the summer
-Blank t-shirts for textiles class
-new converse low tops that actually fit
-birthday presents
-art supplies/hemp and beads

I also need to get a hair cut.

STICK KEYS

My mom and I watched Good Will Hunting tonight. I love that movie. I never noticed all of them before, but there are 5 Elliot Smith songs in that movie. Robin Williams is a great actor.

I drew some pictures in my sketch book today. That made me happy. I love drawing when I actually try. I just never actually sit down and try. I talked to Beth today. I'm spending the first week of August with her at the Jersey Shore. Here is my schedule for the summer.

Next week (2nd week of June)- Nothing
3rd week of June- Ocean City with Rachel, Malin, Nathan, and Leah
4th week of June- Week with Dad
July- Snow farm in Williamsburg, MA
1st week in August- Jersey shore with Beth
2nd- Week with Dad
3rd- Back to Ohio for two weeks before school starts

I TURN ON THE STICK KEYS AND MY KEYBOARD IS BEING STUPID AGAIN> EVEN IF IT WASN"T IN ALL CAPS I WOULD HAVE PUT STUPID IN ALL CAPS< IT KIND OF TAKES AWAY FROM IT> WELL GOOD NIGHT ALL>

CDs

Why do they do this to me. The New Pornographers are playing in North Hampton Massachusetts the Sunday before I am going to none other than North Hampton Massachusetts, I spelled Mass. so wrong. One week, like four days and i'll be there for Snow Farm. Then Yo La Tengo, and Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks, are playing in New York together July 4th. Oh My God. What is this crap I go to Snow Farm the 3rd. The forth is our first day of Studios. I am not going to any concerts this summer as of now. Leah to steal your word RAWR Extra bold print. Still looking.

Mrs. Holub says she'll have to cancel the New York trip if she can't find 25 people to go. If we don't go I'll be really mad. Super-UBER pissed, like swarm of hornets pissed.

Thing is is that I'm not really mad today. It's more of a quite desperation, like I want to scream in my head. Does that make any sense at all?

Rachel Stamateris asked me to burn her two cds. techinally 4, I only did 2 though. Ben Kweller, and all my Death Cab. I gave her Sha Sha by Kweller, and I think Photo Album by Death Cab. Well Sha Sha didn't work. So I have to make her another one. This is okay, I don't mind making her one, even though I still don't like piracy and I don;t ask anybody to burn me anything. But if they offer I usually accept, and If i like it then either go buy it when I get the money, or at least buy something else of theirs. any way back to Rachel, I don't really mind making her the cd, It's just the way she asked, Infact I don't even know if she asked. She might have asked the first time, but then started demanding it when I said no the first time. And she started pleading with me, where she would not let up. She really does have her high and Low points. There have been times when she's been nice to be around, but other times I don't want people to see me around her. One time she was really snappy with the waiter we had at Rockne's. He brought her the wrong type of Soup, and she got almost kind of mean about it. Her cd just finished burning.

Alexis invited me to go with her and Jeff to go to A&W after Jeff got his paycheck after school today. I felt that would be really awkward though. I know they aren't going out, but still. I should have gone though. I think everybody else is working tonight. Or whatever they have to do. If I'm wrong correct me.

Proudly wearing my Appel for band pres. shirt. It's glorious. I just put it on over my other shirt though and it looked really tacky.

I like Black Coffee.

PATTY

patty- I'm glad to hear you still smell lovely ,haha although perhaps this year I'll have to keep myself from the common sniffing action. yah, whatev doggs your 4 days can kiss my 16 days' ass! BOOYAH

email from my friend in Mass., She had an unhealthy obsession with smelling me. That girl is so funny.

Just you wait...

...I had a really good day today. Lots to tell, lots of pictures to show, but not now, I have CDs to burn.

Wow. I spent two hours today printing 23 pictures for my art project. My computer hates me. Photoshop takes up all of my virtual memory, so I can't even run anything else when the pictures are printing. and it would freeze at random intervals. Oh jeez. Piss. Now I have to work on an art project due for tommorow befor i go to bed. Still I think its going to come out looking pretty cool.

goodnight all.

Jon- Why?
Mom- Incase a Jellifish attacks your ass.

Hemp fancy pants and smores

Katie Dewar called last night, and asked If I wanted to come over. So she and Kailey picked me up and we went to hemp at her house. After that we ordered Inner Circle, and we ate that. We went out side and we collected some fire wood, and we went back to her patio. So we then decided to go to Zombie land. We drove around, and we ran around the car while it was on the train tracks, that was so stupid but fun. There were alot of cars there. And all the houses had there lights on. We were there kind of early, but it was still fun. I put my hand right next to Dewar's head when she was driving. She flipped out and started screaming. I was laughing so hard.

- "I jumped out of my girlie pants, no I jumped out of my fancy pants." (It says fancy on her pants)

We drove to Boardman Giant Eagle and got Smores supplies. Then we went back to Dewar's house and I built a fire and we made Smores. After a while we got bored so Dewar and I, Kailey stayed back, went into the woods to go to the creepy cement barn that's back there. It was uneventful except for I found a the plastic helmet that I was wearing in that picture of me dressed like a knight. That was where I found it before, so I took it. We treked back and we sat around the fire, then Dewar took us home.

I came home and fell asleep on the couch, when I was woken up by my mother, so I went upstairs.

I have no life, or friends, its my conclusion. I've done yard work, took the SAT, and sat on my computer all day. I've noticed no matter how much music you buy, you never have enough. I have completely exhausted my music supply. I listen to it over and over again. Then I get in ruts where i'll only listen to one thing, then move on. I've listened to Yankee Hotel Foxtrot by Wilco 3 times in the past two days. Stephen Malkmus, Don't even get me started on him. You all probally tire of hearing how much I like his music.

I have nothing to write about, I don't think. Except I was laying in bed last night and I noticed when I started feeling bad. It was when I saw that woman walking down the road and I noticed what a bad person I am. That was when I started getting sick again. This morning I felt happier and my throat stopped hurting. It was really wierd. I was still in a bad mood because of the SAT. Hopefully I'm over it.

I have to wonder if anybody, or everybody else has someone n their family that is always tells the family stories. But always tells the same exact stories.

"...Have I ever told you about the time Bob and I swamped the canoe?"

What can you say? No? yeah right. That would go over real well.

I've noticed how much time work occupies. I can't remember the last time I haven't worked on a Saturday. Last saturday was my first day after I quit, but I spent it with Rachel so it wasn't that strange. But there is nothing to do when there's nobody to go out and do something with. It's like torture. I've processed all my pictures, I cleaned of the deck, listened to 2 cds, went to the SAT, and went to Panera after that, wrote 2 entries, ate some cookies, and read some. That is my day. Working takes the monotony out of life. Sure it's a pain in the ass, but I don't know what to do with my self. I would use days off to do homework, work on art projects, watch a DVD i bought, go do something with friends. I do all that and have time let over. Now I have no excuse not to do my eagle project. I'm glad Leah got me that job. I kind of needed to get out of the house.

Which I need to do now.
