12:54 am - you could tell by his voice that he fell
whoa update.
i'm in computer mode so i thought i might as well do this too.
my brother's wedding is tomorrow. i tried on the bridesmaid's dress again tonight. not as bad as before maybe.
marriage is so weird. i cannot fathom why anyone does it anymore. i wonder why our society still puts so much value in it.
i'm dreading the paper i have to write after this is all over. it's due monday and i haven't begun thinking about it. oh and i haven't done any of the readings. i think i'm in trouble. i also lost my microeconomics book...
i said "i" so many times in this post. but you know what? it wouldn't make sense without them. so there.
i should sleep now. it's 3 and i wake up soon.

01:53 am - look at what the light did now
boredom.
i'm horribly bored and i don't know why. i almost went on a bike ride at 1:30 in the morning just to get rid of energy so i could just go to sleep.
but i do love scout niblett. so much. and the song in my subject by little wings. i really want to buy sweet heart fever tomorrow by scout niblett but i do not have any money.
wet road is a fantastic song.

02:39 am - my angel rocks back and forth
so i'm reading 100 years of solitude by gabriel garcia marquez, now, based on erin talking about it the little she did when i last saw her. i think it is really interesting, but the problem of time really bothers me in the book. they don't place the story in any time, and there is no frame of how much time passes between parts of the story. i don't know how old anyone is, and i'm not sure why it matters so much to me.
so sam and i are thinking about going to new york, because i need to go back to the town i grew up in, in upstate new york. i have to visit the family of my best friend from childhood, who died almost 3 years ago. awhile ago, i figured out that it would never be real to me until i went to where we were together, and saw that she wasn't there. i think another thing is to attempt to stop the guilt that is still there. it is really hard to feel guilty for someone's death when you hadn't talked to them in over a year, and hadn't seen them in much longer than that. i think part of me will always think that there was something i could have done, which is sort of ridiculous, but all the same the feelings are still there. she was the person that i thought, even though i hadn't seen her since i was 12, that we would meet up again, right around now probably and become best friends, and be together forever. maybe that is just what we told each other.
when i went to church, i always thanked god for taking me out that town, because i said, i knew that would have happened to me too if i had been there. how fucking selfish. it's weird to have thought that god saved me for certain reasons but not her. that's really twisted.
i think this is my angsty post. i'm really not over not being a teenager anymore.

07:05 pm - birthday things and other things!
so my birthday turned out good, it was a lot of fun. i got everyone to come to genna's and we celebrated drunken style. sam surprised me with a free bottle of champagne and a cake and balloons and the entire bar singing to me. i drank far too much and got kinda ill, but all in all a good night. so many people came out, and it was funny to see all these people i know from different places together in one place. it was also funny that i was turning 20, but i had my party in a bar, and everyone (including the people that worked there) knew it.
now i'm in minnesota for a couple days, going to a cabin with my family. it is nice to get out of madison, and have something that will force me to not smoke. or drink for that matter.
i do not update this thing enough because i'm sick of writing boring entries.
i'm reading the unbearable lightness of being by milan kundera right now. it's really wonderful. i feel like it talks a lot of the choices people make and the repercussions of following free will, and doing what seems right. and love. it's about love too. i like all the parts about strength and weakness.
who else has read this? i'm not done so don't give away anything, but i just want some other thoughts on it.
i'm trying to read it slow because i don't want it to end.
Jun. 1st, 2004
11:58 am - and you've changed some.
hmm... 4 days til i am on an airplane to florida. i think it will be real exciting meeting sam's mom. and i'll get to swim in the ocean and lay on a beach.
things with sam are kinda funny right now, because he is most likely moving to chicago in august. that's fine, and i really do think we'll make it work. but when i'm drunk i say things that sound like i think otherwise.
i really want to read all familie are psychotic again, but randy has it. i should really call him. tomorrow.
my new bike is wonderful. it's the coolest bike ever, and now i just try to find reasons to go places. it's certainly made me less lazy.
i need to find a new cord thing for my digital camera. i lost mine, and although it is somewhere in my house, i haven't seen in it months and i want to take pictures tonight.
oh BIG NEWS! apart from going to see sonic youth and lollapalooza, sam got me tickets to see them again in milwaukee a week later!!! that's so much sonic youth in a week. it's gonna be the crazy. he got them for our six month anniversary thing. weird, eh?
oh and i get to see the microphones/mount eerie the day i get back from chicago. and hopefully i get to see devendra banhart and joanna newsom the day after sam gets back in town from florida.

grr. reading old entries, realizing that i was quoted even more inaccurately than i originally thought.
thanks.
i just need to delete this thing.
May. 17th, 2004
04:28 pm - oh my.
anyway. summertime.
i messed up today. i was supposed to have a job interview at 11:30. i remembered at 1.
oops.
so now they won't interview me. i have to call the other people about the cocktail waitressing job. hopefully that will work.
May. 12th, 2004
10:05 am - yesterday is here
so i'm getting very close to being done. i have 2 and a half more pages to write for my english class (and revisions since 2 of the other pages were written slightly drunk). then study some for soviet exam.
: D
i can't wait to be done. school really made me crazy this semester.
tonight i'm going to a hippie co-op for a dinner party. it should be fun. i believe there is lots of wine involved.
sam's band is also playing tonight.
it's weird, because as soon as summer hits i get all restless in my relationship. i think i just need a break from madison.
okay time to write about parasitism in our mutual friend by charles dickens and the film chinatown.

Apr. 12th, 2004
04:59 am - really early.
haven't slept yet.
i procrastinated all day and now i'm up ridiculously late doing a paper. it's not done yet, and i have an exam in six hours.
and i'm bored. i'm horribly sick of reading about Nazis. and honestly, i don't care if they were revolutionary, because they were really fucking mean.
that should have been my paper. right there.
i bought six cds today. one for sam. i'm impulsive.
i got
cat power - covers record
sonic youth - evol
palace brothers - there is no one what will take care of you
scout niblett - i conjure series
leonard cohen - songs from a room
most of them i had before and lost or i had burned copies. but i'm happy to have them for real now.
i feel nauseous from mountain dew and 5 am.
i can't decide if i should stop writing the paper (i have one page left to write) and study for my exam, or just go to sleep and hope for the best. or stay up all night.
ok.

08:42 pm - funny thing.
the best thing. the most funniest ever.
lying in bed with sam and listening to serge gainsbourg's reggae album aux armes et caetera.

06:14 pm - what comes is better than what came before
so yeah. things went back to being real good. which is awesome. except i got sick, but it's just a sore throat right now, and i am hoping it is not strep throat and i'll be better tomorrowish.
so i think everyone should see two movies in theaters right now:
the triplets of belleville - the animation is perfect, the music is fantastic, and it's lovely and made me smile. a lot.
eternal sunshine of the spotless mind - although it had a pointless subplot that made me so so angry i wished to be in the movie so much. it was really beautiful and most of it was very well-written.
sam is wonderful. i'm very lucky.
and all my stress is gone away because all the papers i keep having due get pushed back. so this week has been stress free. i went out on monday night with sam after seeing eternal sunshine, and then last night with sarah. that was fun because we just talked to aaron about std's and soap operas.
has anyone seen russian ark? i watched half of it, and i was wondering if the second half gets better at all?
in other news, i got a wonderful new album: joanna newsome - the milk-eyed mender. she plays harp and sings like a little girl. she tells great stories about silly things, and sings about ships a bunch. no one else likes it. but i do.
and i'm seeing bonnie prince billy twice now. in one night. april 16.

04:25 am - you sigh along
so most everything is okay, or at least back to normal right now. it's 4:30 am and i'm halfway done with a paper that's due at 11 am. i think it will be late.
i'm ready to go on a trip. sam called me tonight whilst drunk and gave me the prices for one-way tickets to london and paris.
i want to go now.

10:14 pm - sorry
if the last thing worried anyone. i'm just not doing great right now. things will get better, i'm just worried, like i said.
and then other things keep piling on making me crazy. i wish i could quit work and school and just not do anything for a month.

09:29 pm - each coming night
alright. so now i have spring break. which is good, because i think it's official, i don't like being in school anymore. which really doesn't make sense because i like my classes so much more than i did last semester. i just can't do it, and i'm not good at it.
last night we went to genna's and drank a lot. it seemed like everyone in the world was there, so it was a lot of fun. sarah and i talked a lot about things we don't normally talk about, which was pretty great. we went to a dance party after, and the floor was bouncing. and i fell because steven broke a chair. steven sucks. and then i went to sam's and steven, melissa, and dan were really funny. and for some reason there was some sort of trance music on. that was disturbing. it was a fun night. today was pretty lame except between 9am and 12pm. that was really good because sam and i were up so early even though we were hungover and we went out for a really long breakfast and made fun of everyone. and talked about stealing children, even though the one we saw was gigantic, or so sam said.
sarah was really not happy all day, but i watched spellbound and some movie with helena bonham carter in it, because she's really really hot.
tonight emily, andrew, sarah, and i went out to pizzeria unos for food. and in a bit i'm going to see sam's band play, although i don't really want to.
but i'm trying real hard to be a good girlfriend. although i'm really bad at it.
i'm going home tomorrow. sam will meet my parents. it's kinda scary. so yeah, betsy! we'll be in town tomorrow night around 8, until wednesday morning real early. so you should call me or i'll call you.

12:08 am - red is my favorite color
this weekend was fun. my brother came with his garl and we hung out. he found out the amount that i drink, and was proud of me. and now he knows i smoke. because i couldn't handle being at the bar and not smoking.
i found out crazy things about my family. they met sam and liked him lots. randy came to the bar and that was supa awkward.
i dunno
i have a 5 page paper to write in the next 14 hours. and i have to sleep and go to class in there somewhere too.

Mar. 2nd, 2004
08:25 pm - yes. awesome.
i get to see bonnie prince billy april 16!!!!!!!
i'm so so excited.
i might even get to see him two days in a row.
but i have to miss sam's show in minnesota.
ok i have to go make spaghetti.
