this album comes out today and i really want to get it. i am gonna try to convince dad to take me.
what is that great fiend on her back. is she supposed to be nude?
ahem.
on to other things.
as we all know, today two planes crashed into the world trade center, and another into the pentagon. i will not bore you with the story you have already heard.
what i mostly thought about today:
1. all the people ("casualties")
2. vulnerability
3. what this day will be made into. if the history books will mark september 11 as the start of a war or what.
4. i hate retaliation.
5. our president is disturbed.

bjork's new album came out a few days ago.. i cannot wait to buy it. the cover is absolutely GORGEOUS and i just watched the video for the song "hidden place" and it was lovely and at this very moment i am listening to the mp3 for the song "verandi" which isn't actually on the album but that's not the point. it has to do with vibes and atmosphere and whatnot. and its delicious. and i had absolutely no idea that bjork had a book. if i could make layouts i would make a bjork layout. maybe i will put a picture of her in place of that faery and just change the background colors. i can do that much. and i just clicked a link that will show me tour dates for bjork and everyone cross your fingers that she's coming someplace close.... aaaaaaaaand...... she's not. damn. wow what a very short, selective tour! there's more dates in other countries than there are here. and when she comes to the U.S. she's playing new york twice, california twice, chicago, and... boston? god damn. ah well. so much for that. i wish i could at least go to see tori.... BRITTANY PLEASE TAKE ME! uhm my mom is making me go outside.

dad: *looking through the tapes* LOOK SUGAR BEATS
alanna: O_O
dad: havent you been wondering what happened to sugar beats?
alanna: ......
dad: don't you dare sat not really
alanna: HAHAHAHAHAHAH
dad: sugar beats. the eternal stain upon our lives.
morgan: *sings* aaaaaaamazing sugarbeats how sweeeeet the sound
dad: give thanks and sing praises
morgan: *sings* i once was lost but i'm not now
dad: *sings* ohhh how lucky for meee
MY FATHER IS SINGING LITTLE DISCO SONGS AND I AM TERRIFIED.
i've decided to say that i used to love this pet store, ruby begonia's. and i can't find a site for it, so bare with me. the point being that i used to love that store.
but a couple college guys bought it. and i think they went out of business. and when they did. they left town.
leaving all the animals locked up inside the store to die.
cooper has got to be the best street in memphis.
i've just been informed that not everyone knows about the peabody ducks. well.
they're ducks.
that live at the peabody hotel.
and every day they come down the elevator and walk down the red carpet and go into the little fountain in the lobby.
those. are the peabody ducks.

they even have a children's book about them.
what's with this place?
i had been looking for the peabody place site to link to the thing in that last post and i found this and figured it was good enough even though its fairly annoying.

"Strategic location

Peabody Place is at the heart of a vibrant metropolitan area with 1.1 million residents. In addition, the city welcomes 8 million visitors a year, who spend $2 billion during their stay. "

that's actually amazingly annoying because its like someone from memphis didn't write it. no way in hell are these freaks gonna convince me that downtown is randomly the heart of the area. thats fucking midtown for god's sake. we're the ones who have everything good, anyway!!
but did you know that the peabody hotel is the coolest place ever and my friend had a birthday party there in the first grade and we woke up and got to watch the ducks? that was really cool. and of course for years we took field trips down there to watch the ducks and they even took us out on the roof too. it was really cool.
i went to bed at like a quarter to three last night ("quarter to three" by sleater-kinney. go download it. a great song.) and you'll notice that i am awaking at fucking 10am. i actually woke up like an hour or so ago and i was just laying in the bed listening to, of all things, sleater-kinney. and then the cd was over and i hadn't fallen back asleep so i got up and came online and then i was randomly really tired so i went and got back in bed and i didn't fall asleep so here i am again.
for everyone's information BRITTANY'S PHONE IS DISCONNECTED SHE CANNOT GET ONLINE OR CALL ANYONE PLEASE STOP ASKING ME.
she's actually supposed to come over today. last night she called me on her mom's cell phone and we just talked a while and its like '... you wanna do somethin tomorrow?' 'sure.' 'what' 'i dunno' and whatnot and we thought it'd be really cool to go down to peabody place which is this new thing downtown sorta like a mall. judith (my mom's librarian friend who reminds me of the library chicken and drinks a latte) said it was terrible. but i think she only went in the movie theatre part. she said it looked really dumb cuz its like a train station motif and that its been said to have great like uhm... i dunno. sound or whatever in there but she just said that it was really loud and every noise becomes really really loud. and then we were driving past it, mom and morgan and kimberly and i, when we were coming back from tap dogs, (see post from august 20) and i was like 'theres that place' and someone mentioned how judith said it was awful and kimberly said that 'its very new york. not memphis at all.' and brittany's friends have apparently said good things about it. oh and katherine dohan said that the movie theatre there was annoying because they have like 22 screens but they only show like... 6 different movies or something. but we haven't actually been yet. i think it'd be kinda interesting. but ANYWAY the point is that dad said he wasn't gonna leave us someplace he hadn't actually been to yet and that's really annoying but uhm the point is brittany's still supposed to come over and bring movies and we can sit around and be junkies instead of shoppers. as if we have any money. oh and by the way, i bought 'rid of me' by pj harvey last night and i've decided i need an mp3 of her on this place. someone remind me later.

today didn't go well and when i got home to take my shower, i discovered that one of the dogs or cats or someone had gotten into the trash in the bathroom and spilled the contests everywhere even though the trash can was still upright and it was really gross because they'd like eaten up .. stuff and it was all over the floor and.. ghekla blegh.

Wednesday, August 29, 2001

so today. yes. today.
so believe me it began terribly. i had forgotten my oboe at school yesterday, which is deliriously stupid and i'd left it in science... probably. oh well homeroom was really funny actually. haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa now that i think about it. this really frightening guy who had, the year before, supposedly stalked this girl i know and the funniness involved him (i think his name is ... nathan?) and davida and this will be my third year taking band with her. she's very funny and she's got this huge giggle. and nathan's like a year older than everyone else in homeroom but he didn't feel like changing schedules so he's in that one. but oh well. anyway.... i decided it wouldn't be funny to transcribe it. just imagine it. davida, nathan, and hot pink toenails.
see. it would've crashed and burned. but uh in other news.... *cough cough*
ok so the day wasn't going well and i was heading for band and christen foehring. dammit. i realised i never blogged about that. oh well. i DID say that she basically adopted me but when she called a couple weeks ago, she said she could talk to her friend on the tech play crew thingie and get me on there and i was like 'oh that's cool' and i had no fucking idea what they did.
and then today there was an announcement that the school's gonna do a play of 'ten little indians' by agatha christie and i just remembered that tech thing and christen caught me in the hallway on my way to band.
christen: alanna.
alanna: hi
christen: take this
alanna: ok? *takes note thingie*
and i walked all the way to band which is very far away and squished this teeny note in my palm and upon my arrival i thereby read the following:::
Alanna-
Hey girl! I don't know if you got my email Monday night but there is a tech meeting after school today that is very important. It won't be long - but if you go, my friend Frix can get you on stage crew. The meeting is either on stage in the auditorium or Mrs reagon's room. I'd be glad to walk you there. So, please find me @ lunch. Ishould be in the cafeteria at a table near the windows. Frix already knows you are coming to he'll be looking for you. See you at lunch & we can make plans, ok?
<3 ya,
Christen

so i was like ghlKSDHLKSeoiKS LDGKALHGKK dksldkghlahsk dOIEKskdgak and you know i have never done anything extracurricular except for uhm advanced recorder in the sixth grade. yay for that. only not really. but anyway i showed it to katherine and she was like 'ohh that would be so cool' and i'm like 'WHAT THE FUCK DOES TECH CREW DO' and she had no idea but we decided to go find christen together at lunch. so band went by and i didn't play and mr. snell didn't act mad, as usual, and he didn't act anything and i don't like him at all. and then some. so after band katherine and i went to english and i did not have a good time because we're supposed to be writing these poem thingies with word and picture clippings from magazines and i just don't like it. because its like we're aiming to win the stupid contest and the point is just to win the stupid contest and i hate it and i hate anything like that and i don't like ms. kitts. but anyway. so then we went to lunch and as usual katherine and i were the first people in the cafeteria because ms. kitts's classroom is in the elementary building and there's not a bell or anything there so she just sends us out whenever but anyway. katherine was like 'i'm supposed to go to my locker' and she left and i sat there and everyone came minus katherine and i went alsdkghlKHDLAHLDHklhalksdhg and i didn't wanna go talk to christen alone with all her intimidating older friends and whatnot. so i waited 3270589205982 years for katherine even though i only got half of my bagel eaten and then she appeared and apparently her locker was jammed but we went to find christen anyway and she looked uhm...... 'engaged' when we got there so we just sort of stood there and looked around and whatnot until she addressed our presence. but uhm so anyway she is really in charge of things and she made all the plans and all i had to do was answer questions and do what she told me. so i went to call my mom and katherine and jackie, who she shares a locker with, went to work that out i guess. and then i had to wait FOREVER to use the phone and some girl talked to her boyfriend and some guy spent like t23y0537295808392508 years talking to who the hell knows. but anyway. by the time i finally got to the phone the bell was ringing i called my dad and talked to him like five seconds. but anyway. the rest of the day went by normally so i don't have to talk about that. but uhm anyway. i DID find my oboe in science though. and we got two new students in class. but anyway. i met christen by her locker and some other guy and i got introduced to him and i was carrying like 320583209 things but i shook his hand anyway and it was terrifying. and then we went down the stairs and walked outside and back to the main building and so on and so forth and suddenly we were there and i went X_X and christen practically pushed me through the door and i'm like 'LASKHDGL;AKHDL;ASDH'
christen: see that girl in black over there
alanna: no
christen: .... KIM!! KIIIIIIIIMMMMM!!! [<- the loudest thing ever]
everyone in the room: .......
alanna: O_O
christen: KIM!!!!
kim: *finally comes over*
christen: ok kim this is alanna.
kim: hi alanna
alanna: hi
christen: and you're supposed to introduce her to Frix and uhm take care of her.
alanna: *eternal nervousness*
kim: ok what was the name again. i'm like *crazy motion thingies*
christen: alanna.
kim: alanna. right. ok.
and then christen disappeared from existence and we walked in and i got introduced to frix who looked at me as though i was a squashed roach and then i saw that this girl cece was there who i've known a while and i'm not sure if she knew exactly what 'TECH CREW' meant either but uhm so we stood around and signed our names on this little piece of paper and everyone else was older than us and katherine hadn't shown up and everyone was just hanging out and being goofy and uhm anyway. so then frix said that not everyone was gonna actually be on the stage crew for this play, but that we could try again later, etc. etc. and he said he would post whoever 'got in' on the bulletin board and whatnot and then he asked if so-and-so had any words to say and she stood on this 'soapbox' thing just to look really cool or something and she didnt have anything to say and then he asked did laura have anything to say? and she asked to stand on the soapbox and no she couldnt because the other girl wouldn't get off and then uhm she just said that 'TECH THIS YEAR IS GONNA FUCKING RULE' and 'sorry mrs. reagan' and then we sort of milled out and then suddenly there was katherine and she said she didn't even wanna do it and like thirty minutes later i realised that i'd been like ASSURED a spot on the fucking thing and i didn't really like that but i wouldn't have tried to do it again i think. i'm not determined or anything. but anyway. it would be more comforting if i wasn't on it. so anyway we left and i was walking along and i heard this voice behind me go 'did you make tech?' and i turned around and it was christen's friend and i think his name was chris or something but it was the one whose hand i shook and i told him 'i don't know.. we just sorta signed our names and left' and he went 'well good luck' and ran away and then i went home. and uhm that was my day.

i took a shower a few minutes ago and i am wet and hungry. god damn. my backpack is like 50 pounds and we don't have lockers yet and i have to lug every single thing i own around in it. its terrifying. my algebra book won't even fit in there. things are crappy. school is slow and still sucks but we don't have as much homework as last year. at least not yet.
