I've got this song in my head and it's called the Gentle Art of Making Enemies, or something like that, by Faith No More, which is not a band I personally listen to, but JD and I have spent a lot of time in the car in the past week and now I know the song almost well enough to perform at karaoke party. NOT.
Here are the lyrics I can remember, see if you can put it to a catchy tune and get it stuck in your head as well:
Don't cha look so surprised/Happy Birthday, fucker/and if we make it alive/I'm gonna kick you, kick you
and then there's the chorus, something about making excuses and putting up one hell of a fight
and then (my favorite, and the part that's been on repeat in my head)
I deserve a reward/cause i'm the best fuck that you ever had/and if i tighten up my hole/you may never see the light again

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
everyone go download that shit, it's an awesome song

SOOOOOO
I don't wanna talk about my weekend, it was 90% boring and only a little exciting and I'll just say the exciting part involved Stacey and me and Ashleigh and Toni and Amy, and since all we did was go and eat and shop and watch a movie, you won't think it too fascinating.
I start summer classes tomorrow, how bad does THAT suck, it's neverending. Oh, and it looks like I have to go home the next 95 weekends in a row, for things like Mother's Day and this wedding (anyone remember Tim Young and Beth Dazey?) and Jessica's ballet recital, and for some reason I don't want to deal with it.
So I brought my old couch up here today, you all remember that atrocity that used to be in my room? (If not, come visit, you have to see it) and it made me all mooshy reminiscent of high school, as did my finding two of my favorite photo albums and making Melissa sit and go through them all with me, and I just want to say how awesome high school was. You guys all kick ass, thanks. I forgot how cute we all are in group pictures, and how some of us had braces once, and how dorky we all looked at different points on the timeline, and and and and and and how adorable everyone is when they're dressed up, and that time we all went camping, and all the girls' nights, and AWESOME

I wish so badly I had a scanner and could post all the pictures I have on here. I wish I could waste the last 4 pictures on this roll so I could get it developed; I've been using this since earllllly February and I'm super curious to see what's on it

So i've been thinking for awhile now that I want to go to Las Vegas for a few days over Xmas break, and I know I've mentioned it to a couple people and everyone's been all "yeah how will I pay for that"
Yeha I don't know either

I need to go clean my room

THE GENTLE ART OF MAKING ENEMIES

The words are so familiar-
All the same greats, the same mistakes
It doesn't have to be like this.
If you don't make a friend, now
One might make you-
So learn
The gentle art of making enemies
Don't look so surprised
Happy birthday...Fucker
Blow that candle out,
We're gonna kick you
[Don't say you're not because you are]
[Don't say you're not because you are]
[History tells us that you are]
[History tells us that you are]
All you need is just one more excuse
You put up one hell of a fight
I wanna hear your very best excuse
Never felt this much alive
Your day has finally come -
So wear the hat and do the dance
And let the suit keep wearing you.
This year you'll sit and take it
And you will like it -
It's the gentle art of making enemies
I deserve a reward
Cuz I'm the best fuck that you ever had
And if I tighten up my hole -
You may never see the light again
[There's always an easy way out]
[There's always an easy way out]
[You need something wet in your mouth]
[You need something wet in your mouth]
Never felt this much alive

Hey everyone
meaning, hey Stacey. hey to my one regular reader. Ha, ok, I know THAT can't be entirely true, since my counter recently broke 100 (WOO-HOO, way TO GO PEOPLE) after a little over a week. I can tell you all are just as bored as I am.
SOOOO
How has my awesome week been so far?
Ok, I had only one final to take (boo hiss, etc., I know) and it was tonight, and I rocked it, and it's bioethics, which sounds deceptively cool, but it was tonight and it is over! Yippee!! So I rocked it hard, thanks for wondering, and I'm sure JD and Chris did the same.
So JD and I went to Evansville Tuesday afternoon to kill time and because my mom was moving (don't worry, same phone number) and I wanted to help her. So on the way, we're somewheres between Elnora and Newberry (the smallest towns in all the land on Hwy. 57) and i'm watching this Jeep Wagoneer behind us swerve a little, and then BAM it goes plowing off the road and down the side of the ditch type thing and into some trees. For a second we thought it had made a weird turn onto a side road, but then noticed there wasn't a road. So we turned around, and at first we don't see the car, but it's further down, and this girl about our age is standing by the side of the road so we pull over and gape at her totalled car. She was fine, no one else was in the car, but it was smoking and had smacked into a tree. And she takes one look at JD and starts laughing and goes "You went to Castle, didnt' you?" and it's this girl named Shakina (yes, Shakina) from his drama class. And she's more embarrassed that he's someone she knows than about wrecking her car. So she uses his celly and calls what seemed to be an apathetic boyfriend, to whom she explained that she had been turned around and wasn't watching the road...and then she calls 911 and they dispatch....the Elnora volunteers. And I swear, like 8 beat up cars with cop lights atop them appeared within thirty seconds of her hanging up the phone, and the first guy that gets out is skinny and has bug eyes and is wearing a Sting (the wrestler) shirt that looks like it's been washed a bazillion times, and the rest of them form a sort of line behind my car and keep asking if anyon'es hurt and basically just sitting there looking at the car in the woods because none of them have towing capacity. And picture me and JD and Shakina, who keeps saying things like "I'm just a blond, I guess" (I could see three inches of roots) when the Elnorians ask her how she went off the road, all standing around and no one's really sayng anything and there's not much more for us to do. And she tells us we can go if we want, and although neither of us really wants to leave her with the swarm of bad-teethed rednecks, we hop in the car and speed off. And JD later remembers something about her being a Marine, or something, and we figure she can hold her own.
So then we get home and me and JD and the moms all went to Chili's, and even though I had to drag my mom kicking and screaming out of the house, she had fun. And then I spent most of the evening moving her into her new place, which is mucho bigger since jen'll be home all summer, and she's much happier there already. She's talking about getting a cat, which I think has been the problem all along. She needs a kitty to make her feel less isolated, I think. And she needs to go hang out with JD's mom, who is a hoot, and makes up for any shyness my mom may have.
And then we went to Kmart, and the next day to the Indian restaurant for lunch buffet (best idea...EVER) and and and
it's all a big boring blur, really. So we came home this afternoon and are going right back to Eville tomorrow night, so that means I need EVERYONE TO EMAIL ME with their phone numbers and cell phone numbers, cuz we is all doing something fun (who wants to go see Spiderman) when I get in, which might be actually around 11, so maybe no movie...but anyhoo, call me at my mom's (476-5630) anytime, it's never too late at night, ok?
And I have to go help JD pack up his dorm now, and watch Friends (teehee)
But I will see everyone who's coming home tomorrow, and I cannot wait!!!!!!!!!! MMMMMMMWAAH
