The Dreaming V2.5: Within the Midnight Hours

Monday, November 19, 2001; 12:43 p.m.
Begin elegy...

I'm sick today: this morning I had 101 temperature, and my earts, throat and head hurt like you wouldn't believe. I feel a little bit better now, but I can still feel where some of my motor skills have been compromised. I can't really walk in a straight line, and I have to go really slow, but hey, I feel better.

Todd and I did go to the musuem yesterday, but I felt like shit; but I had a good time tooling around with him. I just feel really bad that I had to ruin his good day by being sick.

My mum kicked Todd out when we all found out that I fist had a fever. She wouldn't even let me hug him!! Grr, that mean lady!

I miss him...

and so I lay myself to sleep

I talked to Skye last night for three-and-a-half hours. You can only imagine what that had to be like:

Things started out strange...
crackfrog4116: woh, you're the only one who's on. prepare for a major harassment from yours truly ::cackles::
TrekPhile47: : ::hides::
crackfrog4116: : ::runs after julia::
TrekPhile47: : ::screams::
crackfrog4116: : ::tackles her into the ground and starts the harassment:: moohahahaha
TrekPhile47: : ::>.<
crackfrog4116: : heeyahaha.

Then, things got somewhat normal...
crackfrog4116: I've been accepted in a university of designs in sydney :-)
TrekPhile47: At 16? How wonderful!!!
TrekPhile47: I just can't wait to live on my own.
crackfrog4116: lol yah, I think they were high on crack when they stamped the 'ACCEPTED' mark on my app.
crackfrog4116: I'm not going to live on my own, though. until I turn 18, I'll have to live with my legal guardians (my future foster parents)
TrekPhile47: Poor you, I think.
crackfrog4116: hah, yeah. I'm not one to get along easily with strangers. they'll kick my ass... and I'll kick my own. mm hmm.
TrekPhile47: I felt the same way when I was accepted to the [Name of School Deleted], but I think that they accepted me partially because I was the first [Name of School Deleted] student to apply.

I think this is where the conversation really starts to go down hill...
TrekPhile47: Hold on, I'm going to get a popsicle.
crackfrog4116: k
TrekPhile47: ::weeps:: we dodn't have any more popsicles.
crackfrog4116: eh... you have an unhealthy addiction for popsicles, julia dahling?
TrekPhile47: i do, honest to god: Todd's mom has these Dole popsicles with fruit in them, and I eat at leat five every time I go there.
crackfrog4116: lol. I have an addiction to jellybeans, chocolate and other sweets
crackfrog4116: I'm a human sugar-worshipper! hahaha.
TrekPhile47: i'm not a huge fan of chocolate, but I inhale Swedish Fish

And here is where the conversation goes completely to hell...
TrekPhile47: i can swipe my mom's ponds. Cheap Julia at work again!!
crackfrog4116: hahaha, I swiped my mum's revlon. we're cheapskates!!!
TrekPhile47: Together!!
TrekPhile47: Does that make us a cheap pair of skates?
TrekPhile47: witha wobbly wheel?
crackfrog4116: uh... I think so? moohahaha
crackfrog4116: and rusty and squeaky too! lol
TrekPhile47: and we always fall down!
crackfrog4116: yessss.... and get run over by other skaters!!
crackfrog4116: *smoosh*
crackfrog4116: heeyahaha. I'm so gross, and I LOVE IT!!!
TrekPhile47: I like it, too.
TrekPhile47: We're bruised, and we're cheap.
crackfrog4116: :-D
crackfrog4116: Julia and Skye - Official Union for Gross Cheapskates ::snicker snicker snicker::
TrekPhile47: Who have an equilibrium difficiency

At least one of us saw where the conversation was going...
TrekPhile47: this conversation has gone downhill
crackfrog4116: yes, I believe so ::nodnod::
TrekPhile47: We're going to have to pick up it's beaten body and dispose of it somewhere
crackfrog4116: I'll get the bag and shovel... you drive.
TrekPhile47: No, I don't want to drive!!
TrekPhile47: You made me drive last time!!
crackfrog4116: okay, get the pogo stick then ::sniggers::
TrekPhile47: and just how are we going to carry a conversation with that
crackfrog4116: you jump - I'll ride on your beautiful behind

That was like, 1/4 of the conversation. Makes you want to know what the other 75% was like, no?

and so I lay myself to sleep

My parents keep telling me how badly I need a haircut, but I don't want to: the last time that I got my hair trimmed, it was traumatic! They cut about an inch off, and from being able to touch my bra-strap, it practically brushed my shoulders, and I have a long upper body. I'm really not looking forward to getting it trimmed again, looking super-nappy be damned.

Todd is taking my to the Cleveland Museum of Art tomorrow. I get to use more of the information that I learned in Art History. I wish that neither of us were poor, because then we could have a nice caffe lucnh, but then again, they are way overpriced. I'm sure that I could just hide some cheese sandwiches in my monstrously-sized purse anyway.

Todd's great-grandmother is dying, and I feel so bad for him; I just want to stop the whole world fro him, so that he doesn't have to deal with this pain. I'm not good at dealing with death: I don't aknowledge it. I lost my cousin Chris, six years ago; I lost my favorite teacher, Mrs. Blakely a year-and-a-half ago, and now my boyfriend is losing his great grandma. I'm just having a hard time relating. I don't know what's going on.

Well, I have to plan my Lit Mag meeting and fill out my application to OSU.

My blog simply gets me into hot water all the time. I need to find the person that ratted me out this time. I don't think the consequences of waht I said matter that much now, because I have my foot in the doorway of "no longer able to care" and I'm ready to go through. I'm not moving my blog to hide from people.

Tonight is my night to recover, I have a weekend to do stuff, and just relax.

I'm like a cat, you know: I get all hinky when things go on around me, I just get more and more wound up. I need to get the "unbusies" and calm down. Thank God that he made weekends.

--- Since getting the internet, I haven't really spent any time in my herbal. I really wanted to (the books are due back at the library sometime), and I just wanted to make sure that I got my info down and stopped wasting my time.

I like the person that I am, and if certain people can't accept that; they think I'm wierd, curious, and odditty --fuck them. I don't know why I even wasted my time trying to make people like me; it only ripped me from the things that truly matter.

I should have been Hindu, moksha is a beautiful and freeing thing.

--- Blog update in 10 days!

Whis isn't anyone on AIM at 9am on Sunday morning? I want to talk to someone!!

Well, I have worked the play for the last four nights, and it's hilarious, because during the day, I'm practically non-existant -- I'm sleeping or wathing TV or I'm online. It' been a pain-in-the-ass weekend, but I think I'm enjoying it....

All except for the tutmult between Lauren, Adam and I. It's not even good tumult, like three-some tumult. Its bad tumult, like Julia has made an ass of herself tumult.

As if I weren't trying to forget my shameful actions of last month, after Wednesday night's show, Lauren comes up to me and says, "Do you still think he [Adam] is hot, even with the pot-belly [for the show]?" All I could do is gawp like a landed fish.

I wish now that I had snappy comebacks.

But yes, so I talked to Lauren on Thursday morning, and seemed to have reasonably explanations for everything, so I tried my best to let it go.

But on Friday night of the play, Adam comes up to me after the show, while I'm standing by the stage doors, and says, "I wanted to come over and talk to you, but you were really busy selling tickets and stuff."

Now mind you, I was demure and even friendly, but I know that what Adam told me is a total crock. When he passed me in the foyer, while I was selling tickets, he nary gave me a glance, nary gave me a smile, nary slowed his pace. And I can' tell you how many times I walked through the dressing room with the cash box, looking for conversation, but he and Lauren were all cuddly in a corner. So don't tell me that I'm unavailable!

Saturday night, Lauren started talking to me about his armpit hair, and then goes, "Adam, Julia wants to see your armpit hair!"

Be damned if I did!

But, so through the awkward beginnings of the conversation, I found out that he likes my leather parka. Yay! and Fuck! at the same time. Cool that my leather parka is the shit in his mind, but dammit that the jacket is cool and I am not. So, I guess that is a huge difference between Lauren and I (in regards to relationships): I have time to spend with my other friends. I also don't hoarde Todd's company all to myself when in public places. When I tried to talk to Adam in the dressing room [the armpit convo], Lauren started clinging to him, hanging on him, and making covnersation very difficult, because Adam had to tell her that he wasn't going to catch her.

There's a point where you get so sick of the whole situation and give up. I just turned on my heel and walked away. I'm such a damned masochist: I'm so fucking sick of them both, yet I cling to all of this like a helpless damsel to a knight.

But, in all of this I figured out what it is that is bothering me:

1. I'm jealous of Lauren and Adam.
2. I just want to be one of Adam's friends, but Lauren seems like the hovering type, and I have already given mself a bad name because of earlier instances.

Part of me is not sad that Lauren and I are not friends, because it would be completely impossible to be Lauren's friend, anyway. But then, why do I let the whole thing bother the hell out of me if I don't care?

I don't know the answer to that, I have to go looking.

I've only got a coupla minutes before I have to go get my shit together to pick up Binkles from school, but I thought that since today was going to be a hellish week, I'd blog now and not feel too awful for not blogging for the rest of the week.

Um, here's a rought list of things to do:

Get my Lit Mag meeting together for tomorrow
Work on Spanish stuff
Trig
Get my clothing together to be house manager from Tuesday-Sunday from 6-11p
Be an herbalist scribe in my journal
Burn Aimee's (and my) techno mix
Burn other CD's
Work on the LitMag bulletin board
Tape "Sleepless," the first Krycek X-Files episode
Study for my Am. Govt. test Friday
Don't blow a gasket
Moisturize

I have a busy, busy week ahead of me.

In other news, I got a ton of cool CDs from the library that I have to burn, including "Pure Moods," Windham Hill, "Candyass," and Tangerine Dream. They are all really good CDs, but I never have any time to listen to them, more or less return them.

I also have gotten a ton of books out about makeup, hair and nails, including an actual cosmetology textbook, which is really, really cool. Hopefully, I will be able to read, study, compy an implement before I have to take them back. I also got books out on Aromatherapy, Massage Therapy, and Homeopathy.

Like I said, "Busy, busy."

Send Heather e-cards, because she's feeling ill. ::pats head and feeds chicken soup:: Poor baby.

The other strange thing is that now that I am going through all of these photos of Val Kilmer, my first love love in Hollywood, I am wondering at a great many things. How strange it is that we idolitarize a face, until all you can see is just the absolute lust and no longer a human face. I say this, because over the years, my love for Val has waned, and I find myself looking into the eyes of Val, and not the mirrors of my complete lust for him.

I'm not saying this to be philisophical, I'm saying it because human nature is truly and divinely strange.

But I still love Val Kilmer. ::kis to Val::

I survived the trig exam! I even knew what I was doing! It's brilliant, and I think that I will get a C in the class and be okay...I hope.

Still busy, busy, I have to study for ACTs tonight, but I don't care because I KNEW WHAT I WAS DOING IN TRIG!

That and I have to fix my bed.

I'm really depressed right now: my face is really broken out. I mean, I finsihed my Trig test (which I bombed) and I looked in the mirror, and all I see are red blotches. I'm so embarrassed.

Todd is supposed to visit me, but I don't want him to: my face is all broken out. I want to at least cover some of it up, but I forgot my concealer and my foundation. I'm so embarrassed.

He's all, "No, you're beautiful." But he doesn't FUCKING get it!!!

My face is red, blotchy, and I am really embarrassed and ahsamed of it. It won't go away, and 50 fucking ounces of water DOES NOT help at all, because now my face just feels all sweaty.

I really think that I'm going to cry. It's just been a really bad day.

I'm really depressed right now: I'm listening to the mass choir sing off-key outside the equally noisy library, and wishing that I had read "Frankenstein" over the weekend.

But hey, I made seven smackers last night! Yay, the scarcasm stings my guts. Maybe I can make enough money to furnish my scantily clad shack that is my over-girly bedroom.

It sucks to be poor. Being a their is way more profitable.

So, I finished reading Changes by RivkaT and Mustang Sally last night. WEll, I didn't really read it; it usually takes me two to three times to really read a piece by them. So I'll say that I skimmed it. But anyway, it's really, really good; it's not their best peice, but I like it none the less.

At the end of the story though, they have this message:
Special offer: Tell us about those Pet Shop Boys and Smiths references in the text and win your own cameo in our next story. You can be the tech geek who helps out the Gang. We’ll use your physical description and your name, but it better be your real name – choose something like Rhiannon without a birth certificate to back you up and the Host will call you Mary Sue the entire time. Kissage with any other characters is at the discretion of the authors.

Dude, I want to bonk Spike RT and MS style, but I'm not old enough to understand any of the Pet Shop Boys or Smiths references. Damn older writers. It's not fair!

But yes, I have a doctors appt today so that I can get a referral for the dermatologist. Yes, I will no longer be like the craters on the moon! Smooth skin, here I come!
