Richard and Sally: A Thriller

2006-05-13T02:28:00.000-05:00

Every weeknight, Richard and Sally took a stroll together under the moonlight through Sall's gated neighborhood. Their walks were usually in silence, but the love and contentment shared between the two was enough to fill the void that silence left. Neither had ever met anyone like the other, which excited them. Both were very reserved but adventurous individuals, and both had minor handicaps. Sally had been in a wheel chair since she could remember and her ears had melted off even earlier. Her mother had downs-syndrome and was well known throughout the community, entertaining the neighborhood children with "Aunt Lucy's Story-Time Giraffe Farm Hour Land", a day-care she had opened with the help of her assisted-living agent, Jennae. However, it was Lucy that gave the day-care its name. Children would flock to the day-care, begging their parents to let them attend. They were enthralled by Lucy's splended comic timing, which was in fact simply her downs. Lucy baked them cookies and put on pretend pirate-adventure plays with them. Nothing compared to the joy Lucy felt while experiencing the childhoods of the neighborhood children during Aunt Lucy's Story-Time Giraffe Farm Hour Land. However, there was one thing she wanted more than anything else; a child of her own. The deep, restless desire burned deep inside of her every day of her life. But with her massive forehead and disheveled demeanor, who would give her this great gift? Lucy decided to take matters into her own hands. One night, after Aunt Lucy's Story-Time Giraffe Farm Hour Land had ended, Lucy decided to infiltrate Uncle Roy's Story-Time Sperm Bank Adventure Hour, a rival dare care which also was a sperm bank. Lucy, dressed in all black with a white bow on her head so she wouldn't look like a boy, did cartwheels the entire way to the building which was located several hours away (she believed it would be more stealthy this way). When she got to the building, she saw Roy asleep in the lobby. She cartwheeled around to the back door and pulled out a turkey baister that had her initials inscribed on the side. She quickly opened the spermefridgerator and poured an entire gallon of yellow, greasy sperm into the baister without hesitation, and pumped herself full of it. It did not take Lucy long to realize what mistake she had just made. First of all, sperm was not yellow or greasy. Lucy knew this because of the "story-time"s she used to have with her Uncle Tom in his cabin throughout her girlhood. Nor did sperm come in a container labeled Country Crock. Lucy giggled at her mistake and decided to simply think of it as "greasing the pan". She promptly filled the baister and herself with the correct substance and cartwheeled back to her house.
Lucy was with child before she knew it, but decided to keep the pregnancy a secret from everyone. Fortunately, this was easy because Lucy's other mentally challended friend, Ike, owned a facility called Cousin Ike's Magical Safari Doctors Office. Dr. Ike simply told those with inquiries that Lucy suffered from a goiter in her stomach. Soon, Lucy's child was born. Thanks to the buttery mistake she had made, the baby simply slid out and the labor period took about five minutes. Lucy decided to name the baby Sally and to continue keeping her a secret. The next day, Aunt Lucy's Story-Time Giraffe Farm Hour Land began early and promptly. After a longer session than she had anticipated, Lucy could finally return to her child. When she opened the door she was shocked at what she saw. Her baby was under attack. A gaggle of geese had swarmed the room and the baby and had gnawed off her legs and set her ears aflame. Lucy called the fire department, unable to think of a more rational or sensical action. Then it came to her- a far more rational and sensical action! She stopped what she was doing and composed a briefs haiku discussing her feelings, just as Jennae had told her to do whenever she was sad or upset, to let out all of her feelings without violence or pervasive tantruming. When she finished her beautiful piece of poetry, its quality was so above average that upon reading it one might have thought she had sever autism and mild aspurgurs instead of straight-up downs. Lucy soon realized after a brief period of self-congratulation that no matter how good her poem was, it was not going to make her baby's ears grow back, nor would it keep a colony of geese from setting up their village in her corpse. Lucy quickly dropped her poem and ran outside, gravving a garden hose and spraying the geese from outside the window until they flew, agitated and wet, into the distance. Lucy had to do something! If she didn't move, fast, everybody would know that she, Lucy had had a child. Soon Sally would be ripped away from her and given to a strange family, who for all Lucy knew could be murderers, criminals, or even Native American. She quickly decided to use her logic and wrapped Sally in a plastic bag and dropped her in the river, sending her South. Lucy had a plan. She was to make haste toward the South end of the river and meet her baby there. Together, they would flee this place.
Lucy took off cartwheeling toward her destination, all the while thinking of her baby's hair, her smile, and sometimes of Milk Duds. They had been stuck in her hair ever since she had microwaved a bowl ful and smeared them all over her face to look like Beyonce. When Jennae wasn't around to taser her, Lucy could be anything. However, after ten minutes of cartwheeling, Lucy was picked up by a man in a bear suit driving an ice cream truck, and was never seen again.

****

Sally was soon found mangled and half dead wrapped up in plastic in the above ground pool of a Mexican family which Lucy had mistaken for a river. Pepe and Bebita Padillo were a modest, 30 year old couple who had just moved into the country. Desperate for work, Pepe had started his own business- a pinata shop called "Si, Si, Whack, Whack". Despite the hard work and pounds of paper mache the two put forth, the income was minimal. Therefore, Pepe whored out Bebita. She had become the hit of the state of Missouri/Mexicans. Soon, Bebita's cuchita had made both Padillos mucho dinero. By the time Bebita found Sally floating face up her pool, the couple was preparing to move into an outlandish, five story Mexican mansion on the other side of town. Although satisfied with her success, Bebita had been feeling for quite some time that she needed something more. A mild mannered cat or, perhaps, a gerbil. However, the minute she layed eyes on Sally she knew she no longer needed to brainstorm. She was perfect; she had already been breastfed for several months, which was like buying a puppy with all of its shots, especially because Bebita had to save her dairy for some very lactose-tolerant customers. Also, Sally's deformities amused her and made her feel pretty. She decided to illegally adopt Sally. With all of the scarring, no one would ever know she wasn't Mexican. They would pass her off as their own. Pepe was smoking mota in the pinata shop with a group of off-duty policemen when she told him of the new arrival. He was elated in a Mexican way.
Sally's life as a Mexican girl was full of joy, albeit slutty.She was always taken out to posh cock fights with Pepe. Her "parents" had even made her two leg-shaped pinatas that she could walk on whenever she was sick of her wheel chair. Having legs full of candy made Sally very popular at school, although she had to deal with the constant whacking with sticks from passerbys who were enticed by her fiesta-inducing legs. Her adolescence was excellent, however she yearned to know who her real mother was. Bebita swore that a crocodile had crawled into their pool at night and given birth to Sally before her eyes, however Sally was aware of her adopted mother/den mother's tendency to exaggerate. She decided to take matters into her own hands. She went back through all of the videos Bebita had filmed with men in the pool the year and month she was found, hoping to find evidence of her arrival because Bebita left the camera on 24/7. After three days of watching grotesque but strangely erotic home-made Mexican porn starring Bebita, Sally finally found was she was looking for. Bebita was wrong. It was not a crocodile at all. It was an extra-terrestrial. Sally watched on the tape as an alien being with a massive forehead, ape-like arms, and a Joey MacIntyre T-Shirt dropped her into the pool and cartwheeled away. Sally now knew the truth and could be at peace. She was not one of this world. She was something extra. Extra terrestrial. Sally began to percieve out of what she believed to be her subconscious but what was in fact her ass, memories of her infancy on an alien planet called Asprisius. She had been worshipped as a Goddess by the Aprisian people, however she had to be hidden in the Earth by a brave Asprisian warrior in order to stay safe from a neighboring rebel tribe of Xenethian hoodlums intent on detonating the entire planet of Asprisius.
This newfound sense of self caused Sally to feel much more confident, at peace with herself, and to become a leading spokeswoman for Sientology. Many Scientologists were touched by her tale of discovery and enlightenment. Soon, Sally was even more popular with Scientologists than her mother was with men whos names ended in ito and ino. She became their poster girl, filming public service announcements, appearing on ads, and traveling to schools and conventions telling her story, all by the age of 18. In 2007, however, George W. Bush began the Scientology Holocaust and ralled the world against them, holding nationally-televised public burnings of Scientologists, who Bush had convinced the world were "like witches but weirder" and that they had to be killed in order to keep their race from achieving dominance through magic and sorcery, as Native Americans had done to the dinosaurs millions of years before, causing their mass-endangerment and subsequent extinction.
Sally went in to hiding in a small, gated community in Switzerland, living int he attic of a drunken Swiss man who Bebita chaca-chacad with for rent. Pepe had not made it out of the country with them. During the war, the pinata shop got very busy and he had to stay to run it. Sally and Bebita did not enjoy living in a Swiss attic. All they drank was Scotch and hot chocolate, and all they had to eat was the candy in Sally's legs. Once that ran out they began munching on insulation. It was here that Sally began to notice a beautiful horse on the street. She fell in love with it, and eventually married it. Its name was Richard.

Chicago

2006-05-01T09:50:00.000-05:00

Chicago was bloody beautiful. OUI! totally dominated, because let's face it- we're a great team. I learned so much about EVERYTHING this weekend. Not just improv related things (though that alone was enough to make my brain nearly implode), but also about the players, and about life really.
Just through closeness with other people, I feel like I learned more about what I want and don't want in a friendship, realtionship, and future.... It's hard to explain right now.... Probably because I've been home less than an hour, and the car-trip was loooooong.

Anyways... my brain needs something easy... More on Chi-town later

Pray For Billy Edwards! Please!

2006-02-22T00:45:00.000-06:00

Please Help Me!

My name is Billy Evans. I am a very sick little boy. My mother is
typing this for me, because I can't. She is crying. The reason she is
so sad is because I'm so sick. I was born without a body.

It doesn't hurt, except when I try to breathe.

The doctors gave me an artificial body. It is a burlap bag filled with leaves. The doctors said that was the best they could do on account of us having no money or insurance.

I would like to have a body transplant, but we need more money. Mommy doesn't work because she said nobody hires crying people. I said, "Don't cry, Mommy," and she hugged my burlap bag.

Mommy always gives me hugs, even though she's allergic to burlap and it makes her sneeze and chafes her real bad. I hope you will help me.

You can help me if you forward this email to everyone you know.
Forward it to people you don't know, too. Dr. Johansen said that for every person you forward this email to, Bill Gates will team up with AOL and send a nickel to NASA. With that funding, NASA will collect prayers from school children all over America and have the astronauts take them up into space so that the angels can hear them better. Then they will come back to earth and go to the Pope, and he will take up a collection in church and send all the money to the doctors. The doctors could help me get better then.

Maybe one day I will be able to play baseball. Right now I can only be third base. Every time you forward this letter, the astronauts can take more prayers to the angels and my dream will be closer to coming true.

Please help me. Mommy is so sad, and I want a body. I don't want my
leaves to rot before I turn 10. If you don't forward this email,
that's okay. Mommy says you're a mean and heartless bastard who
doesn't care about a poor little boy with only a head. She says that if you don't stew in the raw pit of your own guilt-ridden stomach, she hopes you die a long slow, horrible death and then burn forever in hell. What kind of cruel person are you that you can't take five fucking minutes to forward this to all your friends so that they can feel guilt and shame about ignoring a poor, bodiless nine-year-old boy?

Please help me. I try to be happy, but it's hard. I wish I had a
kitty. I wish I could hold a kitty. I wish I could hold a kitty that wouldn't chew on me and try to bury its turds in the leaves of my burlap body. I wish that very much.

Thank You,
Billy "Smiles" Evans

P.S. You can send money to the person who sent you this thanks

~~~~~~~ I love the internet. Thanks to Chase's myspace ^_^

Holy Cats!

I just finished reading Night by Elie Wiesel... Simply incredible. One of the few books that I literally read from cover to cover without wanting to stop reading.

Wow.

Stressed

I am: ENFJ, with a 77% N. (Extroverted, iNtuitive, Feeling, Judging)

http://typelogic.com/enfj.html

It's actually pretty accurate....
I used to take the test, and http://typelogic.com/ to analyze it ^_^ Huzzah!

What are you??

Nearest Book

2006-01-16T04:48:00.000-06:00

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don't search around and look for the coolest book you can find.
Do what's actually next to you.

The sentence is: ...

well... it's in Chinese. Roughly translated, it means:
He bought some fruit and brought it here.

... the next example talks about buying beer. mmm. That's smell like edjamacation to me.

4:30 AM

2006-01-16T03:55:00.000-06:00

Once again I find myself thrown to the mercy of my mind's indisposition to sleep (and the sporadic, yet rather LOUD, habits of my neighbors). Truth be told, I have grown fond of staying up all night, brooding over the usually untampered parts of my psyche. It's kind of fun. ~_~

No real topic right now.... Just word vomit.

(In the Movie Mean Girls, the main character Caty refers to "word vomit," which presumably is when words just spew forth with no real thought given.... I feel like that... Only instead of speaking, everything takes place in my head.)

Had a pretty lax weekend hanging around with my gal-pals. Watched the long version of Pride and Prejudice (Mr. Darcy, get off that horse, and...), as well as Phantom of the Opera, Zoolander, That Touch of Mink, and (of course) Wizard People.
At one point, Allie, AlysON, and I even bought some chocolate frogs to go with W.P.
'twas rather enjoyable...

Blah.
I feel like such a liar.
Not that I have been actually lying or anything, I just feel like a liar when ever I smile or laugh. I'm sure that many of you have guessed by now that I may be going through some emotional baggage concerning the state of my family at the present time. It just makes me feel so guilty to be happy, when there is so much that is terribly wrong. I hypothesize that this line of thought isn't very healthy for me, but alas, it's growth is inevitable dun to the lack of closure I have made with the subject. I just don't want to deal with it??

In other news, Canada Joe is finally going to be making his debut to happy Norman in the coming week! Huzzah! I love it when friends come to visit!

Tee hee. I've been so lazy today ^_^ Aside from studying ahead in my Chinese book, I have done very little today other than watch movies, knit, and go on an impromptu Walmant trip, that resulted in a very much enjoyed milk and cookies hullabaloo with Allie.

More word vomit: affable, exasperated, whimsical, cantankerous, merry, insomnious.

Sad note: Didn't get to talk with Darian today.

Happy note: MIGHT *might* might have on ice tickets to Stars on Ice! That would be so fantastic!!!! MY heart would 'splode!!

Trying not to make noise, so that Allie can still sleep... kind of bored.... My suitemate's cell phone just went off. I think I'll go take a walk... later.

meh

70 different ways to kill a man

2006-01-15T01:04:00.000-06:00

For fun:

Google the phrase "(Your name) looks like" and find the best one from the first page of results.

And the winners are....

1)"Julie looks like a crack whore. I hope that she looks a lot better in person too.
In the pics here she looks like a scarecrow on crack."

2)"Julie looks like she handle anything that comes her way!"

3)"Julie looks like she's in trouble."

4)"Julie looks like a naughty librarian when she wears her glasses."

5) And this one deserves a whole paragraph!!! I love it.

I met one young woman today who did speak very good English. Her name was Julie. She told me she speaks nine different languages; I had to take her word for it. Julie looks like an oriental version of Bridget Fonda, she has that slightly psychotic twinkle in her eye that suggests she knows seventy different ways to kill a man.

Well... Life has resumed the jubilant status quo anti-holiday(um).* I'm glad I have such fun friends! Sweet Moustaches, do we ever laugh!

... eh. I really want to write a post explaining all of the feelings that are currently afflicting me, but I'm not quite sure what they are yet. >_< I am such a headache to myself....

*Status Quo Anti-Bellum means "as it was before the war, typically referring to the American Civil War...

5 AM

2006-01-08T05:01:00.000-06:00

Bored and kind of sleepy... I think I need a new hobby or something...

3:30 AM

2006-01-07T03:29:00.000-06:00

Saw The Producers. Best movie. Ever. And that's all I've got. Time for bed.

4:45 AM

2006-01-06T04:44:00.000-06:00

No new thoughts... just not tired.... can't think of anything to do.... >_<

Nothing in particular

2006-01-05T19:47:00.000-06:00

Today has been a pretty awful day, and the worst part is I don't know why. Everyone I talk to gets mad at me, even over stupid trivial things.

For the first time in a very long time, I feel like I don't actually belong anywhere or with anyone. I don't know where I'm going, or what the heck I'm meant to be doing. Short-term. Long-term. I have no idea.

I haven't felt this way in years.....

It really sucks.

5 AM~ no sleep tonight

2006-01-04T04:42:00.000-06:00

You may be right
I may be crazy
But it just may be a luuuuunatic you're looking for

To late to fight
It's to late to change me
You may be wrong, but for all I know
You may be right

XD I love listening to Billy Joel

So I've come to realize that music (and artsy things in general) make more sense at night. It seems like all my best artwork comes out of all-night-long painting jobs, and even my favorite songs just seem to take a deeper meaning late at night.

I suppose it has something to do with the unconscious relaxing of the brain's awareness. Late at night (or early morning, in this case) the state of the mind's affections is so at ease that the pre-programmed, emotional defense system usually present during daylight hours has a lesser effect on the things the mind perceives, thus statements that appeal to taboo emotions (like sorrow, cynicism, or satisfaction with less than first place) are allowed to flow freely, without being hard-balled by socially mandated politeness.
. Art .

That was a rather long sentence chain.... -_-

And now it is 10 minutes after 5 AM, so I shall return to solving Sodoku puzzles.... mmmm.

4:40 AM

2005-12-30T05:13:00.000-06:00

It feels like it has been decades since I've received human contact. In truth, I returned home from the movies/mall with Dowdy a mere 6 hours ago, and this time yesterday I was just an hour out of Amanda's house... I still feel isolated.
I haven't seen a family member in over 48 hours, even though Chris is supposedly home. Or was. I don't know. He might have left for CO too...

I think it's really all to blame on this big, old house. When there are people here, it feels comfortable and welcoming, but whenbereftd of inhabitants it becomes a ghoulish trap that creates only feelings of eschewal and apprehension, while simultaneously presenting me with varied stages of despondency. It's 4 bloody 45 in the morning, and I have yet to consider sleep: I am seriously becoming a tad bit worried about myself...

I miss college. I miss Alaska. I miss the perpetual glow of companionship that, in my mind, accompanies those places.

In other news: I think I'm going to go to Russia this up-coming summer after all! I cancelled that plan after the thanksgiving bomb-shell of emotional excruciation my father created for our family, but now that the initial I-want-to-crawl-under-a-rock-and-stab-innocent-passing-pedestrians-with-sharp-objects phase has passed, I think it is still the right place for me to be. Plus!! Then I will not only be learning Spanish this next year, but some Russian as well.
That leaves me with English, Latin, Chinese, Russian, and Spanish on my list of languages spoken. (Je parles francais cum la vasche espanole, but that doesn't really count.... I can't even spell the proper French, so that REALLY doesn't count.)
But I digress:

New Year's Resolution: figure out direction in life while deflecting all self-demeaning thoughts of becoming hopeless love pariah that is eventually eaten by Alsatians.... And watch Bridget Jones more often... in Spanish.

Reflections: Fall 2005

2005-12-27T23:40:00.000-06:00

The Fall semester is well past offically ended, and I am happy to announce it a grand success! The complacency that so plagued my highschool existance was decimated and them promptly shattered. It feels so good.
I have concluded that the highlight of the "college experience" is better found in the people, rather than the classes themselves. Haha! That's not a hard conclusion to draw. Being severed from family and friends at home has an awesome effect on the relationships with the people that fill the empty gap. It's like... The kind of relationships that took years to cultivate pre-college, are now achieved in a matter of months, and it does wonders for self-esteem. I love it. I love my new friends, and I love the old friends that I'm still getting to know in this new era.

Life is so euphoric. Even when things are hard, I feel so blessed. Like God's plan is now really happening...

2005-12-26T19:38:00.000-06:00

*Huge sigh of relief*

Everyone left home for their winter-break destinations today, except (of course) for me. And Chris, but he's never home and thus doesn't count.

I kind of like being the only one home. It's soothing for a while.
I'm sure that I would feel lonely if this was my permanent status, but with life as it is, I'm already willing to call this week a dream.

blah.
I'm so fragmented.
I can't type.
I don't even know what I'm trying to say....

Just: Relieved.

It's Christmas morning, and once again I find myself admitting that my family puts the "f u" in dysfunctional.... Merry Christmas y'all ^_^
So while I wait for my family to get back from church, I figured that I would post a quick blog.
I'm laying in the front entry-way in the sun ^_^ it feels so good. Actually, I'm only part way in the sun. I couldn't see the computer screen in the direct light, so my head and laptop are in the shade. The rest of me is basking though.

And now the grinches themselves are home.....

Merry Christmas

GOOD CHARLOTTE LYRICS

2005-11-27T22:44:00.000-06:00

"Emotionless"

Hey dad
I'm writing to you
not to tell you, that I still hate you
just to ask you
how you feel
and how we fell apart
how this fell apart

are you happy out there in this great wide world?
do you think about your sons?
do you miss your little girl?
when you lay your head down
how do you sleep at night?
do you even wonder if we're all right?

but we're all right
we're all right

[Chorus:]
it's been a long hard road without you by my side
why weren't you there all the nights that we cried
you broke my mother's heart
you broke your children for life
it's not ok,
but we're all right
I remember the days, you were a hero in my eyes
but those are just a long lost memory of mine
I spent so many years learning how to survive
Now, I'm writing just to let you know I'm still alive

.......... >_<

2005-10-31T01:17:00.000-06:00

I just got back from my very first official college party.
There was booze. I didn't drink
We got offered pot twice. I said "No thanks" twice
There were man-creatures. I only oggled the eye-candy a little

Then we came home. yay!

^_^ I feel like such a college kid!!

Seriously, the whole time I was waiting for a scene from 10 Things I Hate About You to happen, but life is never quite like the movies. It was kind of fun to be offered pot though. I mean, back in highschool I always knew where to go if I had ever wanted to get my hands on some, but this is different. I'm still morally opposed to smoking pot- that will never change, et alia ceteris paribus- I'm just kind of excited to have been offered some. It's the oddest feeling. Kind of like a bad-girl complex...
I'm not sure if anyone remembers the cartoon Rose is Rose, where the main character, Rose, would turn into a motorcycle biker with a tattoo when ever she was being "bad." It's kind of like that though.

Anyways. Went home this weekend. All is... The same. Except we have new countertops and Jack got a car.
I'm tired. Good Night.

*shamelessly steals Allie's ~edit~*

~Edit~
Parties are fun. Pot is bad. Julie is tired. I want everything to stay the same, so that things keep changing.

So Allie told me about this quiz thing.. It's kinda funny.

Put your iTunes on shuffle, and each song that comes up will answer the questions in order.

Colors of The Wind (Club RemiXX)- Pocahontas
O_O Didn't know I had that one.

2. Will I have a happy life?
Say a Little Prayer For You- Dion Warwick
Good?

3. What do my friends really think of me?
Universe- Savage Garden (Darren Hayes)
It just had to be one of his skanky songs? Where he's singing to his lover... Please "friends," If you feel this way... never let me know.

4. Do people secretly lust after me?
It's Gonna Be Me- Nsync
"Baby, when you finally~ get to love somebody~ It's gonna be me!"

Angsty-Chicka-Music. Yes!

7. What should I do with my life?

I don't know they lyrics to this one too well... But it's kinda sweet.

8. What causes me pain?
I'm going Slightly Mad- Queen
But I'm not suffering from insanity, I'm enjoying every minute of it.

9. How can I maximize my pleasure during sex?

OMG! ROFL! "I got a disease~ deep inside me~ makes me~ feel uneasy baby..... what am I s'posed to do about it?~ Keep your distance from me~ Don't pay no attention to me~ I got a disease!" LOL LOL LOL
Only so funny, because I'm such a prude.

At Fuel every week we go around our circle-esqe gathering, and share high-points and low-points of our week. Everyone gives some generalized or funny tale (or insists they don't really have one), and then we move on...
Yet to me, all of this seems like a load of crap.
Seriously, have you ever gone through an entire week with nothing happening to you worse than "I thought I did poorly on a test," but then "The highpoint was: I got it back, and I aced it!"
It's perfectly fine if that is actually an accurate portrait of the extremes of your week- but COME ON! It can't be like that for a whole room of people!!!

I suppose the real issue that is eating at me has to do with how false people -myself included - are around other people. Even those who say "That's not me! I'm always myself. I don't care what anyone thinks!" fall under this category. Everyone does.
Who hasn't given out the customary "fine," when asked about their well-being by an acquaintance? Are you really fine? Or did your Aunt Gertie just run out on her poor family of cats to join the circus? Well- maybe not something as bizarre as that... You know what I mean.
I just wish that people weren't so afraid to be seen as the inadequate, dependent, dorky creatures that we all really are. EVERYONE needs someone- a friend, a pet, a family, but we're taught that only the strong are successful, and to be strong you must be able to do things by yourself. Couldn't you be even more successful and strong with the support of people- real people- behind you?

I guess my point is: If we're all people who need people (*sings the song*) then why are we so afraid to tell people when we need help or support?
I suppose that on some instinctive level, we're afraid that if we share anything bad, we're less desirable to have around, and thus will loose the contact with other people that we strive to have.

Blah. (sings *people..... Who need people*)

Huzzah!
I'm going home for a few days! Well, really just tonight and Friday. I have to back on Saturday, because
~~~ I made the Improv Team ~~~
YAY! There's a show on the 15th, so those of you in the area are required to come ^_^ That's right. Required.
Unfortunately, I will miss Canada's party, which I have been looking forward to attending. Sorry Canada~ hope to see you this weekend anyways.

In an odd turn of the weather, the day's temperature hit the fifties, which was exceptionally cold compared to yesterday's eighty degrees. It was also drizzling for most of the day, but I don't mind. I kind of like this weather. The clouds always seem to bring out the creams and reds around campus that are usually dwarfed by the vibrance of all of the trees.
But even more unusual than the weather: I actually feel as though I am learning in Chinese class! I wasn't even aware of this particular phenomena, until during class today when I read all of our dialogues in the characters, rather than resulting to the easier pinin (phonetic spelling of the characters). I hadn't even realized I was creating more work for myself, until one of my class mates pointed out a mistake in the pinin that was not in the characters. Lol.

Well~
Just waiting for Allie and Amanda to get back from class. I already vacuumed and took out the trash, etc. So now the room will be nice when I get back ^_^

Hope everyone else is enjoying the fall! Happy October!

There was yet another bomb.
But the police detonated it yesterday.

Kinda freaky.

On a different note: I received a facebook note from one of the OU improvers, and the mailing back-and-fourth began:

Jay: Julie, whom auditioned for O.U. Improv?
Me: Indeed this is Julie, whom auditioned for O.U. Improv. ^_^
Jay: Hooray for being Julie, whom auditioned for O.U. Improv! Well, if you don't already know, congradulations on making the team. We've added the news onto our front page at www.ouimprov.com ... I hope my description of you is accurate. :-) Hope to see you at rehearsal!

Then on the main page (in case you are to lazy to go look):

O.U. Improv's Fall 2005 auditions are a success! After a rigorous and taxing fight to the death between 29 worthy opponents, most of whom were unarmed, three new faces emerged victorious. Please welcome these new members to our Improvable ranks:

Patrick Folmar, whose magical, muzak-slaying axe can sooth or maim the savage beast,

Albert Schilthuis, whose control over the elements caused us to blow all our money on special effects within two hours, aaaand...

Julie Pearson, whose mysterious past allows the writer to justify her Deus ex Machina-like skills whenever they're needed!

After these three wash the blood off in the shower, Albert and Julie will join our ranks as Improv Players, while Patrick will be joining me in the music section with his guitar. Look for these new faces in our upcoming Union show on October 15th!

There were two bombs.

The cops found the second one before it went off, but the first one succeeded in killing the bomber. There is speculation that one of the bombs malfunctioned (the one that went off) and caught the bomber unawares, before they could get to their destination. The body is still unidentified- they can't even tell if it was a boy or a girl.

It's just so... Surreal.

This is supposed to be college. Not a terrorism zone.

Thankfully, everyone else is safe. As of yet, there have not been any injuries reported, which is awesome considering that I even heard the blast 8 floors up with my music on. The entire south oval is still closed off, but I'm glad it's "safe" now. Just a matter of cleaning up the body parts, as I was crudely told by an upperclassman on my way back to the dorms this evening.

In other not so terrifying news: I was asked to come for callbacks by the university's improv team. They seem like a fun group. Only 4 people were asked to come this session, but I think they called back up to ten people. I'm not sure if I'll make it or not, but I'm glad I made it this far out of the probable 30+ that auditioned. IT was nice to be acting again.

Well, I'm still a little freaked out. I think I'm going to go for the gummyworms. Gosh, I love those things!

Surprisingly: I don't feel as though I have changed at all. Or that if I have, it is in some indefinable, insignificant detail that will never be applicable to my general life. Classes are no more difficult than I found them to be in high school, and despite having one class with 550 people in it, the classes feel exactly the same.

Everything feels the same.

I had always assumed that college would hold some golden, unique truth. That it would perhaps have the power to instantly fix all the things that were broken in me. As of yet, I have been sadly disappointed. Everything that had been brainwashed into me throughout high school seems to be a load of bik.* There are no demands of me that were not made in earlier grades. The "real world" that I have always been threatened with is completely and utterly non-existent, and with that cold and gaping hole in reality, the phlegmatic complacency of my Senior year has yet to be shaken.
If I did not harbor such nasty little thoughts about the act of physically running, I would explain my situation as having an insatiable need to stretch and run. Just to break into something- To make myself live again, instead of merely taking this crippled existence in stride!

Don't get me wrong: The experience is great. I love the campus, and a majority of the people I spend my time with are not only brilliant and caring, but fantastically entertaining as well, yet... I still feel(?) unchanged.

As the great divide between highschool and college beings to solidify, so does my resolution to start a new blog to catalogue this grand, new adventure. Although this is neither the first time in my life to "strike out on my own," nor the first of times spent "discovering who I am," it is the first time that this style of life has become my permanent status of living. For the first time in my life: I am 18; I can choose my own church; I have my own bank account, and debit-card to go with it; I can change a class without parental consent; and if I don't want to do something... I don't have to.
I think I'm liking this.
