Currently Listening Led Zeppelin II By Led Zeppelin see related

Tonight I had a piano recital.  My little sister stole the show... amazing!  I love her a lot, even if we do piss each other off sometimes.

I also love to play piano.  At least right now.  Sometimes I hate it.  As a career option, it's quite useful and versatile.

What is it with me and those double reeds?

Iraq has a stock exchange and a bull market.  But I still haven't changed my mind.

pro-life = NO war, NO death penalty, and NO abortion.  no apologies, no exceptions.  My parents call me a commie lib and I don't really care.  I want to live on a commune!

My list of CD's I want for Christmas has some really good music on it.  I don't care if the music I like is behind the times, or uncool, or if I'm just copying my friends' tastes.  Maybe they have good taste, yeah?

24 more days!!!  This December is going to be amazing.  I will have no school for over half of it, the H-bomb from Lancaster is coming for a week, and so is B!  I want to ride the train.

Let's take a trip, huh?  Disneyland, morro rock, record shops two miles from the beach.  Let's go!

People look on the bad side of things too much.  Maybe I do have my head in the clouds, but I'm happy.  I know what's down there, I acknowledge it, but I can choose to accept it without letting it bring me down.

People should read more.  Science fiction books get a bad rap, but really, the good stuff is extremely talented.

I like things that take my mind and turn it inside out.

teenage love without lust is something really hard and maybe impossible to attain, but it's totally worth it.

edit: it's not impossible.

also edit: This is an excerpt from a CS Lewis biography:
"Lewis could be jolly. He had a hearty appreciation of good food and drink, and his writings often pause to linger over detailed description of a meal. He was able to laugh at himself, as when describing his dilemma on finding he'd left the house with mismatched shoes, and was unable to sufficiently scuff the new shoe to resemble the old one.
Yet he could be grave when the subject required it. Lewis took God seriously and himself lightly. His extraordinary mind mined deep levels of theology, but never as isolated theoretical study; whatever he wrote was grounded in honesty about his own life. This combination of profound thought, good humor, practical application, humility, and a knack for clear English communication, is what has made C. S. Lewis the most beloved of contemporary Christian authors."

Currently Reading Sophie's World: A Novel About the History of Philosophy By Jostein Gaarder see related

[my previous post may soon be explained and broadened in a zine...?]

I've been thinking a lot lately.  This book is helping.  Philosophy is fascinating!  It ties into everything, even math.  Yes, we've been having strange philosophical discussions in my math class.  And in my history class.  And in my speech class.  My neural inbox is brimming and the outbox is empty but seething with ideas and confusion and excitement.  I hate school; I love to learn.

too many ideas
expressions
revelations
explosions
not enough time.

you make me want to write.

I have beliefs.  They shape my opinions.  Don't bash my beliefs.  They're different from yours, but they're just as worthy of being held.  I'll cut you.

Modern feminism says that true realization of femininity can only come through sexual intercourse.

Modern feminism, if it truly follows that statement, will only undo all that the first feminists worked so hard to realize.

If, to be a true woman, I have to have no qualms about sex, men will view me as flesh.  I wouldn't have a brain, only boobs and an ass.

Is that what feminism is seeking?

Because that's what they're getting.

pps. after cleaning out my room, i found an old sketchbook i used when i was 10.  know what I found in it?  ROBOTS.

I hate being on the rag because I feel like crap.

Although that might be because I woke up at 5:30 this morning.

To finish a speech that I'm giving in three hours.

Talk about going out with a bang.  My stomach hurts.

I have creaky knees.

I still really like parks a whole lot.

I enjoy life.  Example: right now I feel like crap.  However, I'm still kind of happy about things because even though I feel like crap now, I know I won't later.  and I know my life wouldn't be the same without the feeling like crap times.  Really, I'm a very happy person.

Snuggle bunnies.  yeah that's right!

I haven't made any stencils/zines/anything punk rock in a while.  too effing busy.  maybe over christmas?

Micho's tummy laugh makes me laugh.

Larry, Moe, and Curly make me laugh, too.  I'm talking about the goldfish.

I'm not sick of Christmas music yet, but I can feel it coming.  I will be.

ONLY TWO DAYS OF SCHOOL THIS WEEK.

Dave's fun to drive with.  or just fun.

Most girls are annoying.  and boys.  I bet I'm annoying to them, too.
