[ music | taking back sunday ]

woke up yesterday
with you on my mind
so afraid of running out of time
so come around again and i'll show you what i mean
and you can tell me
exactly what you need
and we can talk all night
and i will sing you lullabies
not every arrow is pointed straight at your heart
sorry for the time i said too much
i was so afraid that you would fall out of touch
and we can talk all night
and i will sing you lullabies
not every arrow is pointed straight at your heart
so come around again
and we can talk all night
so come around again, so come around again
and we can talk all night
i will sing you
lullabies

last night was more fun then i've had in a long time. jim called around 5:30 so i slapped the flames on my car and picked him up at 6. his mom wanted to meet me so i was like, alrighty. went inside and his family was eating dinner, so he went around the table introducing me to everyone; mom, older brother that i already met, 2 little sisters, and his grandparents. jim and his mom then went back and forth discussing a curfew. sounded like my parents almost, except i had managed to weasel a curfew for 1. his mom kept asking what we were going to do, and i guess "i don't know" wasn't the right answer or something, because she kept badgering him. so finally out of exasperation, he told her we were going to grab a bite to eat and see a movie. she's like, "alright, well 11:30 should give you enough time to do all that." hahaha god i love parents. jim just finally agreed, he was getting so annoyed, so we left.

we weren't planning on seeing a movie, and we didn't know what else to do, so we cruised downtown newmarket, just because it's there. there wasn't a whole lot of anything. the only thing that appealed to me was a bookstore/coffee house, but it looked even a little "sketchy." so after we passed the downtown, and buildings were becoming sparse, we pulled a u-turn at a golf club and went back. drove through newmarket, through newfields, through exeter, and then back through hampton. then i just kept driving towards portsmouth. but i said there was no way in hell we were going downtown because it was too damn cold. so we went to the mall, just because. our mall sucks though. BLOWS even. so after walking the whole mall for a grand total of about 9 minutes, we leave again. (fun date, eh? ;) only instead of taking a right off woodberry ave, i went straight because i wanted to see where it came out. didn't know where i was, i thought it was going to come out at downtown portsmouth, but it didn't. somehow ended up on the highway, unintentionally, but made our way back to hampton around 8, and went to my house.

tammy was over, chillin and drinking with my parents. we got in the house, and they all went into Embarassment Mode. Steve even went as far as to pull me aside and wisper (rather loudly), "you guys can go up in your room." i must've turned three shades of red. THANKS STEVE, I APPRECIATE IT. lol so then we went upstairs, and TAMMY FOLLOWED. i was like, "what are you doing!?" she was in my room for the next ten minutes, just fuckin around, teasing me and jim, "oh no being bad up here." "oh, i'm leaving now... wait, NO I'M NOT!" "alright, i'm closing the door tightly now. you two behave!" and she did that about 10 times before i collapsed on my floor, weeping out of frustration. jim was laughing so hard, but i was just like @%@$%@%@$^%%@^@. but she did leave, and didn't come back up. but there's no lock on my door, well there is, but it's on the outside of the door, so it does ME no good. but we put in some music... somewhat loud, somewhat not. after it turned off, we just laughed. we could hear my parents downstairs, and i guess that was better, but we were still paranoid as hell. i knew my parents wouldn't come up though. that would be creating an awkward situation for themselves, and they wouldn't chance it. i knew tammy would though. or they'd send my sister up. but we said fuck it. then at 10, tammy started yelling at us from downstairs, and then steve knocked on the door. he was like, "ok! time for jim to go home." siiigh, i love it. hey, at least he knocked.

so we went back out into the freezing cold, and drove back to his grandparents house. i figured that since my original curfew was 1, i still had time. so i "accidentally" left my cell phone in the car, and we went in. his mom asked us what movie we saw. uuhhh jim said we saw the one that his mom saw the other day, . she then asked me how i liked it. fuck. luckily my sister katie had told me all about it after she had seen it with her friend, so i was just like, "way too many kids." that brought up a few laughs around the table (his family was still sitting there, playing cards.) then the topic transitioned into me talking about all my siblings and my dad and stuff. haha damn. so then we went up to jim's room for a while and locked his door because he had one. every so often some member of his family would make their way upstairs. first his sister came up, went into the bathroom, and brushed her teeth (we could hear through the walls, so we kept quiet.) then after another 10 minutes, either the same sister or the other one came up and went to the bathroom, and then some period of time after that, that i didn't really keep track of, we heard his mom come up. HA. a little after 11:15 she was still out there, so i figured i should leave. waited for her to go downstairs, and then went down ourselves. talked a little bit more with his family, because i didn't want his mom to think that i'm some hooligan chick who has come to seduce his son. ... and then he escorted me out. we shared a goodnight kiss under the moon, and then i drove home, overly ecstatic.

got home around 11:40, and then chris asked me if i wanted to go out with him, jon mitchel, and ian jones to buckhorns. i said i'd ask, it wasn't too late, but there was a very slight chance that'd i'd be able to convince my mom to let me go (she was afterall, half asleep.) so after 5 minutes of convincing she finally let me go. (and that's how i know she was half asleep. curfew was 2 now. so lask picked my up around 12ish and then we picked up jon and ian and went to buckhorns. they're pretty cool kids. i had seen ian at the poetry meetings (i really want his blue hair), but i didn't know jon. they were extremely funny though, and it was a good time. freezing, but a good time. on the way back, chris's windshield started to freeze, and it consumed almost the entirity of the window. so we pulled into the next parking lot and drove around and around and around with the defroster on blast, and it slowly went away. but then we pulled into the church parking lot across the street, and did the same thing, until it was entirely gone. good conversation. then we dropped off ian and jon, and then chris dropped me off. what a cute kid. he's back at BU today and i'm happy for him, because he's out of hampton!

that's alright, i'm moving to virginia with jim. i've had enough of this weather! and town. i <3 my friends though. don't know what i would do without you.

it's courtney's happy birthday tomorrow. 17 baby! :)

[ music | i'm high (so high) like ben franklin's kite... ]

Thursday i went home second block due to a migrain the size of Texas. my head was pounding so hard i couldn't see straight, and i kid you not. got home and slept until 4:30. then i got up and attempted to do the chem homework, but i lost focus. i wasn't planning on going, but i went to the party anyways. it was for cam-cam so there was no way i was missing it. i figured i could call to get picked up early if i had to. well i'm extremely glad i went, because it was so much fun. got there around quarter to 7, and edgar and cameron were schedualled to show up around 7. chilled with the gang for a while. then we all piled into the dining room to await edgar and cam. we were all debating whether or not edgar would knock, because the plan was that he was "bringing cameron to his house and cooking him dinner." a "boys night out." but it was really at rachel's house, and eventually edgar did walk in, cameron trailing behind, and we all jumped out and surprised him. he was so taken aback he couldn't speak for a while. it was cute. we discussed what had really happened and wished him a happy birthday.

we exchanged stories, food, punch [of which i had a little too much of] and it was an amazing time. at one point i was talking with chris grearson, and then some people pointed above us and shouted "MISTLETOE!" sure enough, chris and i were conversing under mistletoe. he got real close and was all "heeeey rachael" in one of those extremely seductive voices. haha no. then that was me running away lol. [it actually happened twice that evening. gotta love it] we ate cake, and then presented cam-cam with a journal that we had each written something in. it was cute. christian was trying to get him to cry. then chris broke out the Everybody Poops book, and we had THE most amusing story time of my life. he had the hardest time reading the book in between his laughing fits. soon enough, we were all laughing along with him. deffinitely fun shit. then we gathered around the piano, rachel played the guitar and edgar sang the blues. he even got christian to blurt out some. around 10 chris drove me home. i talked to jim for a while. it was cute :)

Friday, chemistry was deffinitely an awesome class. nash made us all feel like idiots when he asked us how a candle worked. then he explained the origin of the word "wicked." a term all of us New Englanders are familiar with. then second black gushee said he was surprised to see me in school. he thought i'd be in the morgue or something because i was so sick yesterday. thanks gush. in biotech i found out that i am Alu homozygous negative. word? and i gave jim directions to my house.

it had started snowing by the time school got out, and i went to the bank with peach. stole lollipops. around 6ish i left to pick up amanda and court for the benefit concert. The State, Amongst Thieves, Captain Bluebird, and some other band played. but we only stayed until the end of Captain Bluebird because i had made plans with jim for after 9. it was deffinitely a good show.

jim picked me up around 9:30 and since all the movies had already started at hampton, we went to newington to catch a flick. and apparently there's a law that you have to be 21 to buy 2 rated R tickets. that's gay. so we went to School of Rock. [as opposed to seeing Honey] it was 10 and the movie wasn't due to start until 10:40. we were the only ones in the theater, until the second the movie started, then 4 or 5 girls came in and sat down several rows in front of us. the movie was good, i hadn't really expected it to be, but i deffinitely enjoyed it. fun time with jim.

i was supposed to be home by 12, because my parents are stiffs, but i didn't get home until 1. oh well. awesome night :D

then today it snowed like a motherfucker. i don't know how many inches of snow there is because i can't see 3 inches out the window, but i would say a lot. damn you snow! the only good that comes out of this is snowboarding on REAL snow with ruhee and JR. fuck yeah! i was snowed into my house today, so i did nothing but work on the dog shit pile of homework i have. my midterm for biotech and APUSH stuff consumed most of my day, but i really need to work on my lab, my english paper, and my chemistry projects, considering i'll be doped up and confined to me bed next weekend. surgery, yay! except that it ruined my plans. can't go to semiformal with jim, but he's coming to mine the weekend after next [eeww a winnacunnet dance!] haha it'll be fun though. then the weekend after that my grandma is coming for christmas. then i'm off to my dad's for new year's. paaaartay. and then jim moves mid-january. and that sucks so much i can't begin to describe.








AND TONIGHT ON B.E.T. ... CAN OUR BAND OF ROVING RUFFIANS HELP GARY TOUGHEN UP HIS "LIGHT IN THE LOAFERS" STYLE? JOIN US FOR "THUG EYE FOR THE GAY GUY"!

can't make it to the catch 22 and go for broke show on friday, but amanda and i are going to the manchester show on sunday. should be fun. might go into boston earlier that day, might not.

i have oral surgery on the 12th, and that sucks so much ass it's not even funny. i am going to be doped up on so many drugs, that will be the one fun part. oh laughing gas, how i've missed you.

jim asked me to go to his semi formal with him, and it totally surprised me. it was so cute :) it's the day after my surgery, so i can't go. and i felt wicked bad because i really really wanted to go. so i invited him to the winnacunnet semi. i hope he can go, he had to double check. should be a fun time :)

school was boring, as usual. except we got to blow up a balloon. word. it was filled with hydrogen and oxygen so it frickin made this huge flame. we were outside and i was the only one without a coat. i felt the heatwave of the blast and it was heaven. haha. once again gushee managed to lower my respect for him. "i'm not good with dates! i'm not perfect!" dude... it's your fucking JOB! my ONE new class is gym. and no, i did not fail it last year, i just didn't have room for it. lauren and i are the only juniors. all the rest are frickin sophomores. ew. in english forberg threatened us. she said parents have been notified of our constant side conversation. i'm sorry if i don't find her interesting. ? didn't do much of anything in biotech. played BINGO. jim and erik won. this week we are analyzing our Alu gene by means of PCR. fuck yes! amanda boyle and i did this LAST year, and we're following the same exact protocol. the only difference was that we analyzed the mitochondrial DNA of mice. fuuuuun shit. after biotech, dale managed to throw me up over his shoulder and run me across the quad. haha i must admit it was funny.

i've become obsessed with Letters to Noelle by Something Corporate. have had it burned for a while, but never listened to it much. i love it. it's cuuuuute.

my weekend-ish [25 Nov 2003|11:13pm]
[ music | it's me and the moon ]

Friday: had chemistry and APUSH exams. chem was alright, got through most of it, but didn't complete every single multiple choice. and thanks to KRISTINA we are being counted on every single one. :P didn't do so good on history, but i suppose that's what happens when you don't give a shit. after the exams amanda and i grabbed some McDonald's and then headed to SST just as english was getting out. *snaps fingers* darn. mrs. kelley said that the guy that was coming to train us on how to use the fluorescent microscope was running a half hour late [he was the whole reason we went to biotech that day] so while we waited for him to show up, mrs. kelley awarded us with a pop quiz. @%$^@$%!$%! so then the guy finally shows up, and i go with him into the lab to help set it up. dale and amanda boyle, and then finally amanda marsh join us. then out of nowhere, the dude [who reminded me of the father on 10 Thing I Hate About You] shouted SHIT. mmm never a good thing. it turns out we were missing a part? or something? so now he has to come back another day and train us $%!#$%!# so it was a wasted day at SST.

that night amanda went with me to pick up my April Sixth EP at Bullmoose. got coffee then came home because my parents wanted me to babysit. [my sister's 11, and i think at that age they can stay home by themselves. shit i did. but my parents don't trust her so YAY i get stuck home with her. fun stuff] then i just think i read for a while. i picked up this random free book at the library a couple weeks ago because it mentioned something about a nude male body on an embalming table. kinky. picked it up, thought it would be funny. and it is. oohh how silly romance novels are. so very silly.

Saturday: slept until 11:22. got up. got some food and some coffee, did the shower thing, then had an appointment. went home read some more. all of my friends were working so i was stuck at home until they got out. watched The Ring with steve. i was trying to freak him out. the whole time he was like, WTF!? paula came over and they all went out bar hopping or something. so around 9:45 i picked up amanda and WE went bar hopping. hahaha. we stopped by O'Leary's right next to the miniature golf course. it's some irish biker bar. amanda stopped in to see her god mother and we also saw rachel there. she was playing geetar. we left around 10, drving rt 1. we were gonna stop at the alley but we just kept on driving and went downtown. amanda and i were walkin the sidewalk, and this white car stalled at the light. we were laughing and then the guys inside rolled down the windows and started waving at us. we waved back and then they started shouting things. i didn't catch anything except the "YOU'RE SEXY!" part. all the rest was mumbo jumbo that didn't make it to my ears. haha gotta love it. got bored real quick. left around quarter to 11. stopped at the alley, didn't see anyone. but we played that star-wars game in the arcade hehehe. our score was ZERO. oh well. left at 11, stopped back at the bar. rachel said she was going to play again, so we were there until 12:30. Lonely Gus & the One Night Stand played. it was so funny, all these old ugly men were drunk off their asses, and two of them started grinding with this one really drunk woman. well, at least i hope she was drunk, because if she actually knew what she was doing and with WHOM then she's got issues. then one of the guys started dancing with a chair. ... so yeah, i went to the bar and ordered a root beer. mmm leprechaun style. i guess i was acting crazy because amanda says her parents thought i was high or something. oh yeah. read, then went to sleep.

Sunday: woke up at... 11:23. heh. sort of lazed about the house for most of the morning. read a bunch. then amanda accompanied me on an errand excursion. then we left around 3:30ish for worcester, because we didn't know what traffic was going to be like, so if we would get lost whatever. got to the Palladium at about 5 till 6. perfect because doors were supposed to open at 6. they didn't really open until 6:20 though, but whatever. bought shirts because i'm so small and by the time the show is over all the little sizes would be sold out. so yeah. went up to the balcony and established seating. court sat up there and amanda and i went back down into the pit. the first band was Days Away, and i thought they were alright. not much for openers though. they didn't play music that gets you pumped, it was too slow. did nothing for the crowd. these older guys came and stood right behind me. they had beer and i was so afraid that once the mosh got going i'd end up drenched. one of them kept shouting and it was right in my ear. dude, i wanted to hit him. but whatever, he was just having a good time. it was so funny though, after about 5 minutes the lead singer said, "i smell weed." the guys were like, "let's go find it!" only they didn't. heh.

next was Mae, and they were pretty good. the crowd seemed to like them. and i was pretty close to the bar. there were maybe five rows of people in front of me. so i'm thinkin, score! maybe i can hit the bar by the time something corporate gets on. i don't really move though, through Mae and then RX Bandits. i'm squashed between this really tall buff boy, this girl who is bigger then me on my right, and then little teenie boppers to the left and behind me. ew. there's no way i'm getting psat the guy or the girl, they built a frickin baracade so that no one would get through. ok, i say short people in front. i couldn't see over them, and i couldn't breeth because there were a million different elbows poking at me from all sides. so when RX Bandits get done, i ask a couple guys to lift me out, and then i get passed to a security guard. would've stayed, but i couldn't breath and i couldn't see. so i didn't see any point in staying in the pit.

went up to the balcony and visited courtney. bought some water. went back down when something corporate came on stage, so i could get some pictures, but i ran into the lead singer of Days Away, and got a picture with him. [except the stupid bitch that took it cut his head off!]

none of my pictures of the show came out. i guess i was too far away, and the lighting wasn't to my advantage. but whatever, maybe amanda's pictures will come out.

the show was awesome. andrew mcmahon was all over his piano and played with his feet. he has emo hair, and i love it. it was out of control. opened with Space. played some old stuff and some new stuff. it was hot. i ran around back and forth between the balcony and the floor. court came down with me one time, and held my stuff while i went to crowd surf. i went down and stood behind a group of guys, because i was going to ask them to lift me up. but they were too cute so i decided to wait a while. that and because a slow song was playing, and i didn't think anyone would pay attention to surfers during a slow song. the next song though, i saw these guys a couple rows ahead of me throw this girl into the crowd, but nobody caught her! i was like, ok maybe i don't want to do this. but then i went up to them and asked them to put me up anyways. it was super fun. i'm so light, so it wasn't bad. deffinitely better then the time i surfed at the catch 22 concert. much better. after i got to the front they made me walk back around. met back up with courtney, and waited out the rest of the show. deffinitely a good time. met amanda upstairs, and then we headed out to see if we could catch the band at the bus. no such luck, so then we headed home. got home about quarter to 2. mmm fun, especially since i had my math exam in 6 hours. crashed.

Monday: woke up. got coffee. took exam. conferenced with gushee about my paper. totally shut the guy down. my thesis is that HIV is not the cause of AIDs, and i'm discussing Duesberg vs Gallo. gushee was like, "is this going to be medical based?" um, yeeeeeah. "you do realize that you're going to have to... write to a general audience, right?" so basically i have to right like a first grader so that gushee will understand what i'm saying. yay fun. i like to write in crayon. but nah, i told him i was stoked about this paper. this is the one thing that i'm excited about in this class. 25 pages of medical research. fuuun shit.

went home. wasn't tired after the coffee so i talked online and read. had a doctor's appointment at 2, because i was getting prescribed for birth control. my mom thinks i'm a slut what can i say. afterwords went home, and took a tiny nap. then dropped off my film. around, 5ish? 5:30ish? i don't remember, picked up Ferret and went to the mall to start christmas shopping. bought a birthday gift for my brother, who's birthday was yesterday, but i will see him tomorrow. after that amanda and i went to Barnes&Noble and then to Circut City. i was entranced by the big screen tv playing Finding Nemo. i felt as though i were actually under water!! amanda had to pry me away from the tv and some random dude was making fun of me. bastards lol. then went to Wendy's, because i had gone too long withouth a Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger. siiigh those things are heaven. then since KMart was right there we decided to hit that up. then Marshall's. but both were pretty sketchy so we left and went to Pure One. i <3 that store with a passion. bought some christmas stuff there, and then we headed home. i grabbed my stuff, and then spent the night at amanda's. we went out to hollwood around 10 to rent a movie. i made amanda get Down With Love because she hadn't seen it yet and it's a tubular movie. kevin was working so we talked to him for a bit. it turns out he got kicked out of his house. haha that sucks. went back to amanda's, watched the movie. she loved it. :) went to bed.
Today: we were woken up by a stampede of sophomores. nikki had brought a bunch of friends over after exams, and they were going to be cool and make music videos lol. wow. we grabbed some D&D and went back to my house. ate then she left. i did all that hygiene stuff, and then we went to type for Lit Mag but they had already done all that. sooo then we went to pick up my pictures [to discover that they turned out like shit] dropped off the movie, went back to amanda's house to get her camera, dropped it off, went to the bank. and then dropped me off and here i am. and i'm leaving in about 10 minutes or so to go pick up amanda's developed film with her.

leaving for dad's tomorrow. will be home saturday. have an awesome vacation kids, and happy turkey day :)













i still have to upload the one with the Days Away lead, and will post later.

hey blurty. i'm going to a something corporate show on the 23 of november, and i can't wait.

last night for halloween i dyed my hair blue, and went to see scary movie 3 with some friends. it was funny and all, but i thought that it was extremely stupid. the only good parts were the michael jackson scene and the scenes with the girl from the ring. but yeah, it was somewhat funny. just dragged out kinda long.

have a good day kids :)
