yesterday after work i went to Becky K's new place. she now lives with her bf Phil in a duplex in NE MPLS. i had a lot of fun! we played wii, then her friend Kristen came over, then we went to eat at Mayslack's, this bar place with really good roast beef sandwich's (yummy!!), then we walked back and played more wii (and some different games with different controllers), then Phil came home and we played more, then spent a lot of time creating new wii characters. among semi-normal looking mii, there was a bunch of weird ones, such as Topanga, a huge manish-looking woman with a side ponytail; Mortimer, an old professor looking dude with a surprised look permanently on his face (his "eyebrows" were really eyes- haha); and Dexter, a creepy-looking nerd with glasses and an evil grin on his face. I still hurt from laughing so hard. But it felt good to laugh again. Speaking of, I feel happier than I have in a long time. :) Although I didn't get to bed till like 1 AM, and I had to get up at 5.

Well, I guess this is a deviation from my normal topic *ahem* but today I wanted to talk about the election. Not just for President, but this upcoming '08 election in general. Frankly, I am saddened, angry, and disappointed. Not only do I feel that this country for the most part is going downhill fast, but I feel that the people who should care, don't care enough, if at all. I am 22 years old, and living here just feels so much differently than it did when I was a child. I don't remember people being this unhappy and disatisfied with the way things are going. I know it is up to every citizen to make a difference as well, but sometimes that is not enough. I feel that there is too much talk and not enough action being taken in all areas of government. Yesterday, I saw an ad for John McCain that said, "John McCain wants to reduce our dependancy on foreign oil by drilling for oil at home." Well, isn't that just fucking fantastic?! Not only do we remain dependent on oil as a fuel source without more research and time and money being put into alternatives, but we want to drill into the pristine Alaskan wilderness, or other areas that may not be as pristine, but still, new areas of land being destroyed. Can someone please explain to me how this is benefitting anyone? Don't get me wrong...Obama is not my candidate of choice either. So, who does that leave me with....Ralph Nader, who I watched badmouth Obama by saying he is "trying to act white" to get votes? I NEED to vote, but sometimes I just feel like no matter who I vote for it won't matter in the end. Eight years of complete incompitence and ignorance have gotten us deep into a hole that will take some time to get out of. I don't want another four years of the same mistakes and carelessness...which will more than likely happen if McCain is elected. I feel that Obama would be the best thing for this country; he speaks about change and that is most definitely what this country needs. We need another FDR to make changes right away...I think people have gotten lazy and apathetic, which makes me depressed every day.

8:15AM - love this song!
Wolf Parade - I'll Believe in Anything
Give me your eyes
I need sunshine
Give me your eyes
I need sunshine
Your blood, your bones
Your voice, and your ghost
We've both been very brave
Walk around with both legs
Wait for the scary day
We both pull the tricks out of our sleeves
But I'll believe in anything
And you'll believe in anything
Said I'll believe in anything
And you'll believe in anything
If I could take the fire out from the wire
I'd share a life and you'd share a life
If I could take the fire out from the wire
I'd share a life and you'd share a life
If I could take the fire out from the wire
I'd take you where nobody knows you
And nobody gives a damn
Said nobody knows you
And nobody gives a damn
And I could take another hit for you
And I could take away your trips from you
And I could take away the salt from your eyes
And take away the spitting salt in you
And I could give you my apologies
By handing over my neologies
And I could take away the shaking knees
And I could give you all the olive trees
Oh look at the trees and look at my face
And look at a place far away from here
So give me your eyes
I need sunshine
Give me your eyes
I need sunshine
Your blood, your bones
Your voice, and your ghost
We've both been very brave
Walk around with both legs
Wait for the scary day
We both pull the tricks out of our sleeves
But I'll believe in anything
And you'll believe in anything
If I could take the fire out from the wire
I'd share a life and you'd share a life
If I could take the fire out from the wire
I'd share a life and you'd share a life
If I could take the fire out from the wire
I'd take you where nobody knows you
And nobody gives a damn
I said nobody knows you
And nobody gives a damn
I said nobody knows you
And nobody gives a damn either way
About your blood, your bones
Your voice, and your ghost
Because nobody knows you
And nobody gives a damn either way
And now I'll believe in anything
You'll believe in anything
Because nobody knows you
And nobody gives a damn anyway

I finished. Just turned in the last paper.
I'm done with college........FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!

God. I can't believe I'm almost done. This is it. Four years gone. This past semester flew by so incredibly fast...I honestly don't know where it went. But I do know that I am glad for all the times I went out instead of studying....all the times I stayed up late doing who knows what. I am sitting here at the table in Katie and I's apartment, listening to some crappy band, and attempting to work on this group paper. It's the last thing I have to do. AHHHHH!!! So strange.
Tomorrow is Pat's party, Saturday is Maggie's party at The American and Brian's party at his house. Katie leaves for Norway. Sunday I work- boo- from 11:45 AM- 11 PM. Then after that...who knows? I got my work schedule and I'm opening Monday-Friday. Awesome. But I don't work weekends. And I'm working about 32 hours a week. I still haven't decided if I am going to look for another job yet or not. We'll see. I kind of don't want to. I just want to lay outside and read all the time. :)
I have to get up at 5 tomorrow but for some reason I'm not tired. I don't want to go to bed. I don't want to work on this paper. At all. *sigh*
I just want to dance and sing.

8:51PM - Catchy....
I have this song stuck in my head for some reason?
Gloria-- "Don't Threaten Me With A Good..."
I never said we're safe
i only said we could be facing worse
but evidently, we're far from healthy
we're barely even hanging on
so count me out
we've gotten so entwined on getting by
that we're getting wreckless, and losing focus on what we're really after now
but who could tell?
Another evening of getting high and attempting to fade you out
we've made an art of forgetting what we're about
This is the way we are
we've come too far to let all of this fall apart
so history brings strength tonight
and we could be so cut out
for that cinematic romance they talk about
i just need you to want it too
and we could talk all night
and never say a single useful word, because we're deaf to each other's points
an all this tension gets dispersed in the most unthinkable displays
and there's no problem getting off our chest, all those things that we shouldn't say
but it's okay
We get close to comfort, then we dismantle it all instead
and i'm at a loss to guess what you've got running through your head
we set our sights on finding hope
but it's hard when you just see red
forget every word i said
Current mood: 
lazy

i forgot the real reason for writing. i have three papers and one test left. and then i'm done with my undergraduate career. it hasn't really sunk in yet. yesterday after my silviculture test i went to return my book and then i was walking home and a song came on my ipod and i felt sad. one of the last times of returning a book. one of the last finals. one of the last times on campus with all the people i've learned to know and love. all of the stress, drama, conversations, procrastination...all has come to an end. i have no doubt in my mind that i will see these people again. but it won't be the same. i am so grateful for my time here and for this major that allowed me to do so much. driving around st. paul yesterday with Dan was bittersweet. i'm going to miss these cities, but i've come to know them as one and the same. the skylines, the neighborhoods, the feeling of change and history seeping out of every alley, window, and house. it's raining now. these four years have gone so fast. i feel like i've come to this point straight from high school. that sounds weird but that's how i feel. yesterday at the american jordan picked "Cute without the E" from the jukebox thing, and we used darts as microphones. it was for tradition, and everything we've been through. and everything to come.
In the stick count for the song with knowing you're gone
Glancing up at where you lived when you lived here
I see you suddenly alive and nearly smiling
Stop and hold my breath and watch the way we used to be
The full moon makes our faces shine like over-ironed polyester
Then disappears behind the clouds
And leaves me under empty rows of night windows
We could walk to where these streets get pulled together
Blinking, lined with gravel, shoulder squared towards an end
Where the radio resounds from doppling traffic
Where the power lines steal lessons from the hourly news
Depluralize our casualties, drown the generals out in static
We turn and watch our city sprawl and send us signals in the glow
Of night windows
But you're not coming home again, and I won't ever get to say
"Remember how I'm sorry that I miss the way it could be"
"Remember how I'm sorry that I miss the way it could be"
Night windows
that was the song that came on my ipod and almost made me cry--night windows-the weakterthans.
i dont know why as it has nothing to do anything. but i guess it does. :/

2:47PM - nice...
The Apathy Eulogy - I Can Tell You're Lying Because Your Lips Are Moving
It's not the fact of the act
it's the lie in your eyes
lurking deceit makes me whisper goodbyes
your words are pointed
so I'm gonna be blunt
you can't stab my back
if I only show you my front
you threw away my heart when you wasted my trust
I give and I give but it's never enough
without a second thought I walked out on you
so go to sleep and dream of when you held me in your arms
then cherish the memory
because you'll never feel my touch again
