while reading my look look magazine i cam across a piece about a man that was "an ebay whore" it was one of the funnies things i've ever read and i loved it however it made me realize i have an addiction. not to crack or pot (to some peoples suprise) but to fucking xanga. i'm constantly updating, making my page all pretty and full of html, and checking my "sites i read list" to see who updated. the sad thing too is that there's nothing of any substance on my xanga. just crap ramboling (spell check please!) and pointless shit about what i did today as if anyone really cares?? therefore i am making a list of new years resolutions and sharing them with you weather or not they get completed...well you'll know that next jan 06
This Year I Will:
- read @ least 50 books
- take up photography
- write in a notebook every day! (xanga and lj don't count...)
- get a sewing machine and start using it
- make another zine
- voulnteer somewhere
- eat better
- submit some work to different magazines, etc i've been saying i would for the past well ever
- try 2 resist xanga
- make my lj look pretty and use it more!
well there are my resolution maybe there like half of the worlds maybe they aren't maybe they'll get done or maybe they'll be forgotten come febuary nonetheless i have twelve long months to complete these tasks and i will do so anyways with that said good bye

p.s. i tried out for the saint pats musical and made it o' boy this shall be fun :) |

i love knowing that at the end of the day he always comes back to me, that he never leaves me holding the bag alone, that i've been through everything with him and though he's drifted off at times for months, weeks, or years he's never left completely, i'll always love him and i finally am willing to accept that however i'm still unwilling to let him know even though i see in his eyes he loves me too, he holds every quality i look for in a person and has the most beautiful soul you'll ever see if you just search for it, he's the only person i can talk to for hours about nothing and everything at the same time, and this isn't some stupid love shit about a boyfriend that i don't have or a guy i want to get in the pants of because i've done those things with this boy plenty of times to last me forever this is just cus i feel like no matter what happens i'll always have him as a friend and that i'll always be able to turn to him for anything in the world because that's just how he is and i dont know why i'm writing this maybe because of what happeend yesterday with all of my other gay friends and he was the only one who actually looked out for me and was willing to sacrifice for me and because i know he loves me just maybe not as much as i love him....well with that all said
i signed up for national noveling writing month and i'm sorry to say i havent even started anything fuck i was just gonna add on to my arms of an angel piece but screw it im so lazy and ever since gallery i've been stearing away from fiction and writing poetry its killin me cus it's sucky poetry and corny fiction adn ahh i hate how i write i swear and the only way to get better is to write more and to write more means 2 have time to write and sometimes i dont have time to write between sleeping and school and friends and tv and i make up my own excuses so starting tomarrow because it's the begining of a new week i'm going to write for at least 20min a day i swear if i will update this at least once a week with something i wrote and if i skip a day i'll write for 40min the next!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i sux at sculpting and have been treating my mom like shit lightly and i feel so fucking bad about it i love her with all my heart i swear and i just lightly dunno been takin alot out on her and stuff and have been losing my patience really really really really easily ahh
my school is starting and art and literary magazine and i sound like a big dork but i cant wait hopefully i can drag coszo along to the meeting with me since its during lunch and not study because now during study she has study hall..but if not fuck i'll go alone
dude my life is soo boring now like since im not in swim (thank god!!!!) i'm home all day after school wich for some is great and it is great just i get soo freaking bored and find nothing to do with my time so i end up wasting it...i mean i dun wanna do any sports at school rite not and no not cus im a lazy fat lard but beacuse its a pain in the ass for my dad to pick up let alone in the winter wich is slowly approaching (yippie :)!) and plus basketball is way to time demanding...however i do wanna get into some classes at the art institute when there's sign up because they have writing programs now and plus they give kids in parochial school a like 60% discount so the like $400 class is like $100ish i think i dunno i suck at math
i think i'm gonna register for the slam even though i know little about it..o'well if i dont register i'm deffinatly going to louder then a bomb though because that shit is awesome and so what if you think i'm a dork i know i am and am completly cool with that thank you very much! :-P
i wanna take up photography that stuff is soo cool..ya so this entry is full of new years resolutions so what i'm gonna go through with um for sure there as follows if i'm corret:
1. 20min writing a day
2. writing workshop/class sumthing!!!!!!!
3. photography
ya what now that shits not that hard well photography is cus i have no camera or idea what to do however marwen offers photography so i can get into that in the winter
gosh im so tired this week has emotionaly and physically drained me it's lasted FOR-EV-EER!
i watched aladdin on dvd 2day fuck disney ruins classics they like get all high tech with the dvd and change the voices to make them "sharper" and the colors way too bright not only that they also take out any mistakes including where when u turn the volume up really really loud aladdin says "good kiity/teenagers take off their clothes" it just makes me sad but you know what makes me happy!

hey
well i really hope john kerry wins this election and not just because i come from a highly democratic state and family but also because i believe our country needs a change..maybe kerry will do worse maybe he'll do better or maybe he'll change nothing, however its worth a try to see what happens..also i agree with many of kerrys plans and views especially on same sex marriage and abortion...i also beileve that he is less likely to issue to draft and that he is going to try to better our countrys economy and education...
nontheless if your for bush thats cool too i'm personaly not, as you can tell, but i guess every1 is intitled to their own opinion just please have a reason...also by saying why i like kerry doesnt mean i think he is an amazing greater then god wonderful person or will be a greater then god wonderful president b/c who are we kidding....
tonight it all comes down to the good ol' midwest, my part of the counrty, and in the end it's said wisconsin has a good part of the final say...now i'm not gonna lie i hate the mother fucking cheese head, packer loving. milwaukee bear brewing people but wtf if they go blue i'll maybe just have to change my opinion on those good ol' folks
all in all to wrap this entry up i'll leave with a few final says:
1. the draft better not happen because no matter who is elected if one of the reinstates it i will cry my eyes out and im not even joking its bad enough the people that sign up to "protect our country in time of need" are over seas right now when (i believe) it is unessicary nonetheless that they should take your brothers and sons over there when they didnt even bother to sign up...those fighting in the military and protecting our country i've always have strongly cared about and saluted b/c w/o any of them christ who would do the job and stuff and wow i just hope they all come home soon....and i wish they never had to go
2. according to mtv the "young" vote of those between the ages of 18-30 really matters and the things they are most concerd about are 1. the economy and 2. education...some of the major things kerry is yapping plans about...
3. no matter who is elected it will not change the fact that i was blessed to be born in chicago, il wich is so conveniantly located in the united states of america making me an american citizen..wich gives me the oppurtunities that some die to recieve for their families..and no matter what i will always be proud of that and i will never give that up no matter who is governing over me
wow this was long

you're my only love chicago
the city of deep dish pizza and italian beef
of music seven different lines of L tracks make
waking children deep in slumber
mobsters are your ancestors
and tall buildings your backbone
you are culture chicago
alive in neighbors
reached through miles of expressway and lights
king of the midwest
housing democratic donkeys
visitors frighten your wind chicago
and are amazed at your four personalities:
winter, summer, spring, and fall
you are the city of
bad news bears and
cursed cubs chicago
you are my home

Highschool Space Hosts Zine Making Party Nov. 21
Wicker Park, Chicago, IL -- Highschool Art Space hosts "READ Zine Making Party #5" at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 21st 2004.
The READ Party promotes media literacy and DIY ethics in a hands-on environment.
Bring your friends, cameras, journals, and ideas to fill the blank pages distributed at the entrance.
Pages created at the READ Party will be published in READ Zine #5, the culmination of the event.
Publishers and zinesters are encouraged to bring their wares to trade & sell.
In the past two decades "zines" -- an informal word derived from "magazine" -- have become a street art and literary phenomenon.
They are self-published periodicals often photocopied, noncommercial, and frequently confrontational with mainstream culture and media.
The estimated 20,000 zines that exist in the United States today vary largely in topic appealing to numerous audiences with specialized interests.
The READ Zine Making Party is made possible by Quimby's, Loop Distro and a grant from the City of Chicago's Community Arts Assistance Program [CAAP].
For more info on this event please contact project coordinator at bradley_adita@yahoo.com. More press, info & sample pages from previous issues can be found at http://www.adita.org/read
Highschool is located at 1542 N. Milwaukee Ave. 3rd Floor, Chicago, IL, 60622 and maintains a website at http://www.highschoolspace.com or email reeducation101@yahoo.com

i am feeling the stress of nothing. i believe im prepared for the exams but know im not. im just stressing out that i've forgotten to study sumthing considering every1 eles is in such a tizzy about exams. i only being a freshmen am just worried about getting money for college. it sounds dumb but i dun wanna go to a college that isnt my 1st choice...wich is sarah lawerence as of now and the only thing that seems to be in my way..well besides the fact i have to get in wich i doubt i will anyways..is money. why is college so expensive seriously 31,000 a year..craziness. however unlike most people you run into im not all excited about going anywere but chicago. it's like i wanna go to sarah lawerence, boston, or stay here. there are no other options like im not the grl to go to some other IL college outside of the city just to be away from home i mean beside chicago and the chicago land area the rest of IL is hicks and corn and the west coast bites and anyways i dunno were this comes from all i no is i wanna make the best out of these 4 years and so far they suprisingly seem to be going great dispise the fact that i still wish i had the brains to get into north side prep..ekk that letter of acceptence or should i say no acceptence to any of the chicago public magnet school including lane will haunt me. not because i wanted to go to lane or anything just because i thought i'd get in..o'well i learned from all of it. well back to exams here is the sceduale for the week
Wed.- Bio and Italian <--2 hardest on the same day wat a coincidence...11 diss
Thur- Hebrew Scripture and Freshmen Seminar <--thank god for OLV and crazy nuns cus religions got me breezin through with an A thats right an A nothing lower then like a B on all my papers I never though siser mary micheal would've taught me so much..too bad it wont get me a job or a career... 11 diss
Friday- no school
Sat.- zine day lol
Sun.- halloween
Mon.- no school usin the free day that i got from pledging 10$ more of the madatory fundraising @ school..ahh is catholic education sneaky like that it's like school is gonna coast 7,300 a year plus 2 mandatory fundraiser equalling around 400$ plus athletic and club fees...therefore no use car
well i should go study some more..i should do fine..but then again i always tell myself that and i rarely stress bout test unless they're standarnized cus i have a disability w/ those and sux at them seriously im not even ling

He had the coolest hair
Cory Matthews
He had Topanga it just wasn't fair
Cory Matthews
I just can't get enough
Cory Matthews
Boy Meets World is just funny stuff
I remember staying up past ten
To see the reruns over and over again
Like the time that Topanga almost had to move away
And the time that I cried when she said she got to stay
But you know everythings gonna be alright
Cause Mr. Feeny's best friend is Michael Knight
Cory Matthews
I just can't get enough
Cory Matthews
Boy meets world is just funny stuff
Cory Matthews
Always had the coolest hair
Cory Matthews
Never really seemed to care
I remember the time you got your very first kiss
I'll bet you never knew the real world was gonna be like this
And what about your best friend named Shawn?
He lived in a trailer park, abandoned by his mom
But you know everything is gonna be ok
Even though your older brother has moved away
Cory Matthews
I just can't get enough
