Ninjas!

Hello world. Today was a Fri-deeeeee. Last night I stayed up and read my previous journal. Yes, I keep a journal, and it's definitely not this blog. See, even though this blog is all over the place and incomprehensible at times, my journal is slightly more organized.

Last year, I said the funniest frikkin' things ever. The really funny things I can't write online, in fear . But some funny things were like:

"Jesus is black, blacker than you think."

Speaking of black, Alan, my black friend- jk.

Today Public Enemy #2 was all, "I haven't seen you in so long!!!" I was like, "It's better that way!" And then I snapped my fingers and my ninjas came out of the locker and it was all Fight Club for a while, very intense.

"McFly" must be afraid of me, I pop up everywhere.

These Things Almost Make Me Smile

Look at me up a tree again, folks. Tomorrow I'm going to be stuck at the school for like three hours after it ends. All I want to do is go home and relaxe. It's hard, being Anderson Cooper's fiance. Living on Park Ave is a toughie, I must say!!! I wouldn't recommend it to most. Sleeping until noon, and going to bed whenever the H-E-double hockey sticks I want is not only time consuming, but takes a lot out of you. In my spare time (uh, what spare time????) I shop and visit museums and eat great food. By the time the day is done, I'm ready to take a vacation from my life as it is.

Jk. Nah, jk. I'm really his fiance, guys, I'm just trying to sound funny. Bet you're mad jealous of me.

I just don't want to watch his show this week because it makes me really sad, and I don't need the TV shoving heartbreak in my face when everyone's just trying to get by day by day. Only a portion of the population knows exactly how it feels; but what they feel is real, and it makes me sad that in a few decades it will just be something that happened to their parents, something read about in history books, like Pearl Harbor.

On a lighter note, I watched some Lost with the bff today. Good times. I wish the rent liked Lost better, because there's no way she's paying thirty-five to fifty dollars to buy Season II. And there's no way I'm buying it, when I have a dress on EBAY I'm looking at, and Christmas to save up for, and I currently am unemployed (hoping to change that soon when my friend quits and I get his job). Yizzle. I missed Sawyer and his witty allusions to literary works and pop culture references. That man is awesome. I had a love hate-relationship with him, but now he's totally one of my fav. on the island. Besides the wonderful SAEED and MR EKO!!!!!! Perfect men, I'm telling you. They know how to kill anything that gets in their way. And they do it with the air and mystique of a lost soul on a paranormal island. Oh, yeah, and I love Desmond because he's so cute and SCOTTISH!! Um, hello? I

Seriously, I think Season III is going to make me poop my pants. The cliffhangers, the cliffhangers.

Stuff

Winner: Jeffrey
Going home: Vincent

MY EVALUATION

1. Jeffrey- Jeffrey may still be an ass, but he totally deserved to win this. His plaid dress was fierce, as Tyra Banks would say. I would wear that thing....ok, maybe not, but I'd gaze at it and wish I could wear it. It was the only dress that was unique or different.

2. Vincent- Wow, what a creep! Had no idea he was such a perv. Anyway, this dress was so boring and cheaply made. Thank God he's going home.

3. Kayne- I LOVE KAYNE. I was so happy he stayed. I thought his dress was gorgeous. I'm in love with it. I didn't think it looked garish or vulgar at all. So he likes some sequins, give the guy a break. It was executed very nicely, and Kayne looks like such a nice guy, who could not like him?

4. Laura- I like Laura more and more as a person since she became pregnant. Don't know why. But this dress was nothing special. She knew it too. Still, I'd love if she could design one of those sweet deep v-neck dresses for me. Call me!

5. Michael- Didn't particulary like the dress, but I still think Michael is the most talented designer.

6. Uli- Beautiful dress, lovely color. I hope she goes far.



In other news, guys, here are some boring resolutions I've made today.

1. I wear too much mascara.
2. I don't know anything about cameras.
3. Pills & Soup is possibly the funniest sounding song I've ever heard. Only a short man with big ass glasses like Elvis Costello can pull that off.

I'M RICH, BITCH!! lol. No, but I am slightly famous and will achieve outstanding ovations (get it haha) in Belmar when everyone sees how cool I am. No, what they will really see is how lucky I am to have family and friends who are so generous. Thanks everyone.

Interesting

Life is stressful enough as it is, I really don't need guys like Sean Penn getting between me and my bff. Technically he's still Chrissy's, but lately he's been all up in my face, calling me and texting me and asking me out to nice dinners and buying me all these expensive necklaces and earrings. I have to admit, it's very flattering but the situation is becoming increasingly awkward. Eventually I'll have to really tell Chrissy where the diamonds are coming from. And just the other day when I complimented Sean Penn, she half-jokingly said, "He's mine, bitch! I had him first!" I said, "Oh, I know, I know!" Because it's the truth. But still. The times have changed. A love square begins.

School

First day of school! Went great, seem to like all my classes with the exception of just one. Hurrah. Unfortunately, no one told me about the AP English Assignment over the summer, so I'm writing essays on The Crucible as we speak.

Beautiful, Slightly Mental

This is Preston Sharp, the sensitive poet cowboy on ABC's Extreme Makeover Home Edition. If you're not Anderson Cooper, you might as well be Preston.

Updates

Sometimes I get nervous that Belle and Sebastian is the only music I can listen to. It's been two years now, and I think my love of them only grows. I listen to B&S, Looper, The Gentle Waves...everything Belle and S. related. If Stevie had a band, too, I'd love it just as much.

I dreamt I was on a dock of a lake, like the one in What Lies Beneath. David Duchovny and some blonde older chick was watching me from a window. I fell under, where a sea creature took me , yelling in a Spanish accent, "I kill you! I kill you! I take you to my underwater lair!" He sounded like Cartman if he was Cheech or Chong. Now I laugh about it. But when I woke up, I was terrorfied. It was scary!! I woke up and was like, "Noooooooooo" JK. But I woke up and then I went back to dreaming. DAVID DUCHOVNY WAS IN MY DREAM. And I got kidnapped by a sea monster. Ok. That's like a cruel twist of fate. There was nothing like being rescused from aliens by Fox Mulder. Nothing cool like that.

Actors always pop up in my dreams. Adrien Brody, Crispin Glover, Michael J. Fox. But they're acting- usually they're just characters in the play that is my dream. Except when it comes to that sweet dream I had the other night where I was in Switzerland during Christmas time with Anderson Cooper on a honeymoon. Does it get better than that? Noo, I'm afraid it doesn't.

My Netflix List

Caterina in the Big City, Jandek on Corwood, Orphic Trilogy: The Blood of a Poet, Orphic Trilogy: Orpheus, Orphic Trilogy: Testament of Orpheus, Great Writers: Jean Cocteau, The 400 Blows.

Caterina in the Big City is a great movie, and I wanted to show my parents the film. Jandek on Corwood just looks interesting, even if Jandek is a tosser. Items three-six are some of my favorite things, and The 400 Blows looks mega interesting. Plus, Ebert told me to see it.

Hehe, Sorry!

You're all invited to my wedding to Anderson Cooper. I hope you all come, it's going to be super cool. We're honeymooning in Switzerland.

Wedding

You're all invited to my wedding to Anderson Cooper.

George

George Clooney has pretty much been my #2 guy for a long while. Whether he was saving lives on ER, lookin' to fornicate in "O Brother...", or just generally being George Clooney and scoring chicks, he was always my second place pick after Joaquin. (more on how that's changed later) However, I find that times have sadly changed. Granted, Clooney is extremely good looking, and he has magnetic charm and intelligence that is attractive in a person. Yes, I'd probably go crazy if I saw him or got the chance to speak to him. But there are some negatives I find in the Cloonster that makes me less crazy about him.


One being that he is forty five years old and he's not settled down. I don't know why I care. I don't think it's wrong to be a bachelor at an older age, and I think it's actually smart of him to choose not to commit to a marriage as opposed to marrying and just not caring. I've always said, better not to get married, and better not to have kids, than mess up your life with those two decisions if you know they won't agree with you. But then the trust issues factor into the situation. Cloonster isn't married because he's a two-timing cheater who knows he is a God amongst men and likes to use his status as Chick Magnet to score any convenient bimbo available.

Even though he's never looked like a total jerk, George knows most women would jump at the chance to be with him. Including myself. Take back everything I've said, I am a female and as hopeless as they come to the charms of the Cloonster. If everything doesn't work out with Anderson, you know.

How I'm Connected to Filmmaker/Poet/Extraordinaire JEAN COCTEAU

1. Our friend from the post office opened up for Joe Perry when he was in his kick-ass band, Secret Syde.

2. Joe Perry was in Aerosmith with Steven Tyler.

3. Steven Tyler's daughter Liv was in a movie with or somehow involved with Jean Marais (I think. Don't look this up because it might discredit my whole connection to Cocteau)

4. Jean Marais- Jean Cocteau= lovers
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thoughts

I hate Jandek.

I don't know how I'm going to stay up for Anderson Cooper 360 once school starts.

Skittles don't taste good anymore.

It's raining a lot, and we're not even near the hurricane.

The H&M website finally makes sense.

Wickerman is scary good.

Project Runway Evaluation

As far as Project Runway goes, I'm becoming addicted. I wish I had the talent and ability to make my own clothes. I'd totally make Angela's Audrey Hepburn dress. In all different colors, like Florrie Fisher. But not everyone on PR is talented. Ok, whatever- they're all talented but I really don't like some of them. Let's discuss this.

Michael- Michael is probably the top designer at this point. I've never seen him do anything NOT perfect. The Pam Grier thing was so well made, and I loved the look he sported for himself on this episode's special runway edition. Michael will win this. I also like his cute smile and how he never disses anyone. That's my boy.

Vincent- Vincent's ok. I take comfort in the fact that he sounds like my family from Staten Island, and is a fellow Italian like me (except he's probably full blooded, and I'm Gaelic/Garlic). Anyway, enough of that crap- Vincent has made some really good things like the Twiggy dress (What were the judges thinking? I would've worn it) and some things that are more....eeeeh. The Harry Winston Comment was hysterical, too. So yeah, I like Vincent.

Laura- Laura has "New England Yuppie" written all over her, and yeah, she's pretty intense. But I do like all her dresses, and I would wear them myself if I could. I also like how she hates Jeffrey.

Jeffrey- Jeffrey's like that annoying guy you know who is in his thirties but still thinks he's going to be a rock star. It's like, no, those tattooes on your neck only emphasis how Q-Tip shaped you are, Jeffrey. And How dare he treat Angela's mother like that!! And don't get me started on Jeffrey's mom- She's all, "Jeffrey's been through a lot," when Angela's Mom was crying. Shut up bitch. At the root of jealous Jeffrey is a bunch of problems like insecurity. I was so mad when his stupid pin striped ugly zippered pants won him a challenge. If I ever met him, you might have to hold me back from smacking the shit out of him. Oh, yeah, and that outfit has been done. So many times before.

Angela- Angela made some beautiful things, and some God awful ugly things. But I think she's very talented, and a nice person who thinks for herself and doesn't care what Jeffrey thinks about her. Angela is cool.

Kayne- Kayne's Marilyn Monroe dress is my favorite article of clothing featured on the entire season. Damn. It rocked! Kayne is funny and seems like a nice guy, but I hope he doesn't make a huge mistake in the next episode- he's been almost eliminated twice. He needs to forget his redneck, "gentleman caller" past and start stealing ideas from Laura and Michael.

Uli- Uli is adorable, and I like all of her funky prints that I know I'll never be able to pull off. I just want to see her do different things.

Hmm, I know I must be forgetting someone. I'll think of it later. Also, I really really liked Keith Michael. He looked like a skeevy Jacob Dylan. He'd probably be one of the contenders to win. I know every Wednesday he watches and cries. :-( Oh, well.

I want to see them make an outfit for a rock star. Like Jimi Hendrix, Elvis Costello, Elvis Presley, and Janis Joplin or something. And on that same challenge I want Jeffrey to go home.

Got my schedule. Who the heck gets PE first period? I thought it was a myth.

I dreamt a girl I know from school was telling me about how she went to Paris this summer and fell in love with a boy there. She was so heartbroken, it was actually sad. He also looked like a young Elvis Costello, minus the glasses and the bad teeth. Then I woke up :-( I wanted to see the ending. But I'm glad it ended where it did, in retrospect, since my kilt had flown up like nine times in public by that time.

Sleeping (?) is the Only Love

I'm babysitting birds and they really like music. They're always making these bouncy squeeky noises, until someone turns some music on. I've noticed they like vocals better than instrumentals. When the Belle and Sebastian Fans Only DVD is on, they turn around in their cage to gaze silently upon Stuart and Stevie, and Isobel and the other Stuart on the quaint Glasgow (Edinburgh? looked like the street I stayed on in the video for LAZY LINE PAINTER JANE), streets. They especially like "This Is Just a Modern Rock Song". I think that might be their best song. I just can't listen to it because it makes me sad :-( BOO HOO

I don't like aggressive music.

Well I don't feel good today because my legs hurt and I'm exhausted from staying up so late. But there's so much Anderson Cooper 360 to watch. It's one of those days where u just want to lay in bed and go to sleep. Oh, man, what can you do.

Punks in the Beerlight

Summer is almost ended, and I'm glad. I hate the summer. Sure, I like sleeping late and no school, but I hate the weather and.... I start to miss school. I know I'm going to regret I ever said that in February. I like school in September through Winter Break. Then, there's no going back. I can't stand the Third-Fourth Marking Period. Teachers still trying to grasp onto any control they once had over the classroom. Giving too many reports, realizing they aren't done with the curriculum yet. It's fun, though, when we all slack off. Then of course finals... :-(

Bring in the Autumn

Bring in the Autumn. I am so tired of this summer in the twenty-first century global warming disaster. I want Halloween. I want to dress up as Elvis Costello or June Carter. I want Thanksgiving. I want to gain three pounds in stuffing. I want Christmas. I want the decorations, the Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer claymation, cookies, and the Brian Setzer Orchestra Concert. Plus, I want presents.
