2:30a - Tie me to the Murphy bed.
I LOVE my girlfriend.
Here's what I love most about our relationship -
We WORK. We fucking work. We're twins and we're polar opposites, but we're potent and powerful together. She makes me feel like we're heroes, saving the reputation of our 'kind' of relationship (lesbian, teen-aged, inexperienced, long-distance) one day at a time.
And speaking of feeling like a hero, I was productive (AGAIN!) today. I called my father and asked him if he wants to have dinner tomorrow night since I won't be available on our regular night. No crossing my fingers and hoping he'll think of it on his own this time. Not this time. I wasn't even wishy-washy when he asked if I would need any money.
I also took a (brief) walk with my sister to the grocery store after dinner at my grandma's, walked the dog around the block a couple of times, and went back out to another store when I realized I knew what I could give Kristin for our anniversary on Friday.
Dinner at my grandma's was very, very good. We had ham and polish sausage (fresh and smoked), baked beans and potato salad. Oh, and hard-boiled eggs. For dessert, we ate pound cake with cut strawberries and whipped cream.
My sister woke up a few minutes ago. She needed a new set of pajamas and a new pull-up, so I got her those while she carried her blankets to the laundry and got herself some clean ones. I also got her a glass of water, then we talked for a few minutes. About the rest of this week and about my return to school next week. I'm happy for you, she said. I know you don't want to hear it, but well- you were afraid of school before. Her occasional maturity always catches me off-guard.
Oh look, she's calling me over again. I love my sister. Earlier, she asked if I love her 'the most' and I said no, but I instantly regretted it. See how cute we are. From just now -
Her: Who's your favorite celebrity?
Me: *has no idea* Scarlett Johansson.
Her: I was going to say- who isn't Ani DiFranco.
Me: You.
Her: I'm your favorite celebrity?
Me: Yes... you are a world-renowned brat.
Her: *turns her nose up* *snuggles closer to me*
And Murphy Bed! Could a song make me any happier?
current mood: happy

ONE: Pick 10 musicians.
TWO: Post them and see who can guess which song of each musician's is your favorite
THREE: Once someone guesses right, bold that row and include your favorite song.
(Umm. I haven't picked the musicians yet, but I'm guessing they'll either be obscure or have a lot of songs to choose from. There will be a lot of room for close guesses. I guess those people were wrong about only with horseshoes and hand grenades.)
1. Aimee Mann - It's Not (alternatively, my favorites include Ghost World (which IS based on the movie), This Is How It Goes, and Stupid Thing) guessed by  thisredrock
2. Sleater-Kinney - One Beat guessed by helloradio
3. PJ Harvey - My Own Private Revolution (and Good Fortune, This Is Love, and We Float) guessed by... anonymous
4. Beth Orton
5. Over the Rhine - Faithfully Dangerous (tied with 'Anything at All' and 'Hometown Boy') guessed by carawj
6. Garbage - Special (Ugh, impossible to choose, really. #1 Crush, You Look So Fine, and this fucking kickass mix of Milk) guessed by lilmisstwirly
7. Azure Ray - November (tied almost exactly with Displaced, which played in BtVS S6 (Seeing Red)) guessed by... anonymous
8. Kylie Minogue
9. Jonatha Brooke
10. Ani DiFranco (oh, am I cruel.) - Shy (or this other version) (tied with, oh, just about everything, but especially 'Swandive' 'Hell Yeah' and 'Letter to A John') guessed by carawj
[ETA: I think I'll upload the guessed ones. I'm in a music sharing mood lately. Hell, I'm always in a music sharing mood.]
[ETA2: Why did no one fucking tell me Trespassers William had songs on Buffy?]
current mood: evil

There's something wrong with me lately, but that's all right because if this is wrong, baby, I don't want to be right.
Tutor came by this afternoon. My World Literature teacher decided she was suddenly going to give me three times the amount of work she's given me all along in one sitting, right before I'm ready to leave for the next few days, right before I go back to school.
Took the dog for another walk. We went down to my old Catholic school. The church there is, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful in the world. It has a Spanish tile roof, smooth stone walls, and many, many stained glass windows. Going past the school - seeing the church, the classroom building, the playground - made me just ache for a part of that life again. I desperately want to be involved in the church, but I'm not sure I even belong there.
Which is my biggest problem with organized religion. If it's about God, then why is it anybody can possibly feel like they don't belong? And if I fundamentally disagree with the religion, then can I honestly call myself a follower?
But I can't shake the feelings of wanting to serve God. I walked past the building in which the nuns live. I imagined myself one of them. I want it. Why can't I have it?
Now I'm home and I just signed up for a threesome ficathon. (Speaking of, anyone in the BtVS/AtS fandom? Get your asses over there.) I'm about to do the dishes (and I'm actually kind of looking forward to it!) and then I want to go out and rake the yard.
Yeah, this is me with energy.
[ETA: Oh God, I want a Connor/Me/Angel sandwich. Fuuck.]
current mood: pleased with herself

My aunt has invited me to choose an iPod for myself.
But, shit, I don't know which kind to pick. I'm leaning against the iPod photo, even though, ideally, I think that's what I want. But I am in no way going to choose the most expensive kind if she's buying it for me.
I don't want an iPod mini, either. They're cute but they're too expensive for the amount of music they'll hold. So it's either the iPod shuffle - which, yeah, the too expensive for what it's worth argument SHOULD hold up on that one but for some reason it doesn't - or the regular iPod.
What do you think?
And, the iTunes free song of the week is by Kathleen Edwards. Go get it!
