DO YOU WANT TO LOVE KRISTIN HERSH?!
YES YES YE YES YE SY YES YES YES YES Y~
here is how:
-read these three biographies.
-plus this throwing muses biography.
-look her up on all music guide and read about the different KH and Throwing Muses styles.
-if you want to know even more, here's the official site. or visit some nice fansites. attack some interviews.
-maybe download some things.
-BORROW/BURN ALBUMS FROM ME.
-listen to the album until you love the way it sounds, then go online to read the lyrics while you listen. **this step is very important. kristin hersh's lyrics never ever cease to amaze me. they're great, but one of my favorite things about them is that a lot of the time you'd have no idea she was saying something like that until you read it. she talks like she's just writing in a journal, but with beautiful and strange language in odd places. especially with the throwing muses songs, i think.**
-FALL IN LOVE. DEAR GOD. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR.

(okay there is a lot i didn't say. such as, how fucking adorable she is. because this is supposed to be fast. but you'll learn. oh you will. you need to, because if you don't, no one will buy the albums and kristin hersh and her hubby and her children will die of starvation. so participate. i'll help you. i swear to god.)

listening to: kristin hersh - shake
since no one is answering their phones....
please come see big fish at paradiso tonight at 7:30. it will be a grand ole time.
tuesday was robin's birthday and i wanted to do something to celebrate it this weekend... preferrably before the movie tonight. i haven't really talked to her yet, so who knows. also, my parents are out of town and sarah rushakoff is staying with us. she was wondering if i had any friends who would come over and talk about their imaginary friends to her, for a theatre workshop she's doing. call me please. christ.

listening to: the silent telephone
IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY PHONE? SO MANY CALLS AND I HAVE NOT TALKED TO A SINGLE PERSON I WANTED TO TALK TO. (except brock. but he doesn't count because he's the only one who i don't need to make plans with.)
PEOPLE. PICK UP.
this is really discouraging.

brilliant misunderstood lyrics by alanna--
"sleep, the great pain-killer, and me, the great ass-kisser, wanting you to wake up all of me"
now isn't that nice? let's pretend that's what this song really says.

OH HOW I LOVE DR PEPPER

today was not so bad. that's the end of that.
oh but it WAS robin's birthday. that was hot shit.
in other news, i've gone absolutely nuts with this digicam of morgan's... (sorry, sister. you can play with my stuff all you want.) so from now on you can check out the results of that here. (do they take too long to load? i can't tell.) and feel free to ask explanations... i'll probably post if i update it.
does anyone have any suggestions for how i could get home every day? sarah, who drove us to school sometimes last year and all first semester, is taking classes during the 2:15-3 area. i've gone to davis-kidd the past two days, but mom is already sick of it. she wants me to ride the bus but i'm afeard. they used to pay sarah, so they would probably pay anyone who would be willing to do it. if anyone existed. wahhhh.
laylee we have got to get our permits.

i just got done watching this hot movie "laurel canyon" that margaret loaned to me, and i really liked it. hooray for margaret and her nice taste.
the first day back to school wasn't so bad. i have very very little homework. the math was strangely infuriating... mostly because it was insanely easy but i couldn't remember a damn thing about any damn thing. i don't care. shgoawihp. we had like five pages to read for history and i haven't done it yet.... and i should because i can't do it in study hall tomorrow because TARAH IS COMING TO STEAL ME to be her art fuck. i am excited about it, not because i am modeling or whatever, but because it's like "let's sit in the bathroom during study hall" and that's nice. at any rate. i have finished my dr. pepper.
actually, tarah and i were supposed to go hang out in cooper-young today and take pictures, but i forgot that i had a therapy appointment at 5 and i was at davis-kidd after school because i'm a no-ass ride ho. therapy was kinda shitty because i haven't done anything i'm supposed to do... but not too bad because we decided i should come less often HAHAA. okay i got way too much joy from that.
ROOTIE TOOTIE BABY i'm running

listening to: excuse 17 - watchmaker
i had a lovely last-day-before-school today, but i'm too tired to write about it. so check the visuals.
(tarah, i deleted the ones of morgan because i don't know if she'll be comfortable with people seeing those. if you didn't save them, i can send them to you later.)

i woke up at 11something which was a big surprise. i was aiming for like 2pm. i sort of hung out for a while, and did some finishing touches on 'country spacecraft' -- credits and whatnot. mom said she wants it to be a dvd, which i didn't know before, so now i'm working on making the chapters and things. it should be nice, if i ever finish.
brock called around 1:30 or something and we planned to go to see 21 grams at 3:45. we couldn't find anyone else to come to the movie with us, but i went and hung out with laylee at her house for about an hour before brock PICKED ME UP in his HOT NEW RIDE. it was awesome. i feel so privileged to be the first person to drive with him. i tried to be really quiet and non-distracting. the movie was really good, and very intense. i caught john from our own voice in one shot! how crazy is that? after that, brock drove us back to his house (very well) and my dad picked us up, and took us to my house. brock's parents didn't really want him driving that far yet. we hung out here and ate some backyard burger and watched some of the footage morgan and i took in georgia. at around 9, mom drove us to pick up tarah and we went to hang out in cooper-young. java was really deserted, and this not very good guy was playing. i felt guilty about coming in, looking at the new art, and leaving without buying anything. but oh well. i clapped for a song, didn't i? good for me. we walked down to young avenue deli where we drew each other in tarah's notebook and chatted over cheesefries. brock and tarah were super hot in their oppositely striped shirts. i made a conconction in one of the ketchup containers with dr. pepper, salt, pepper, tobasco sauce, lemon, and all the sugars. it REEKED and brock nearly killed me for that. the waitress was superslow, so it took her forever to bring us our check, and then our change, etc. we ended up playing a couple games of pool after that, and it was my first time ever. which is a crime, i suppose. but i hit a couple balls into the thingies... even though sometimes they weren't the right color. or whatever. i also hit a ball into the wall, so. someone was playing pixies on the jukebox and that made me happy. i really liked getting to hang out with tarah, and i definitely want to start seeing her more. i was really disappointed that i didn't have a camera with me tonight, for some reason. i don't usually take one around, but i pondered taking the video camera or morgan's new digital one and ended up not doing either. there would have been some very nice pictures though... my favorite was tarah leaning over the pool table, making her shot, with her ciggie hanging out of her mouth, and the green neon all around, and pixies on the jukebox. it was nice. brock was worried about calling his mom to come get him, but i convinced him to just wait until she called -- that she would call when she was ready to come get him. it was probably the irresponsible thing to do, but i was SO right. they'd been at the rodeo, and when she did call, she'd just gotten home. so we got to be out until about midnight which is later than normal, so it was quite nice. brandon called me right as i was getting home, so i don't think i gave brock a proper goodbye or a proper thank you to his mom. oh well, i'll see him tomorrow. also tomorrow he and i are supposed to hang out with alice and play with her digi cam. i'm EXCITED and i hope it happens. tarah was asking what i was doing, too, so maybe i can see her again, too. hoorayyyyyy life is so nice to me today. i don't want to go back to school. i won't think about it. fphphee. someone call me tomorrow. rah rah!

man, these astrology things are fascinating. not only did brock and i sit there and read the little "how do these two signs fit together?" shit all night, i am going to be up reading about the differences between what week someone was born in until the damn sun comes up. what's wrong with me? i'm an idiot, born in the week of genius. (ho ho ho insert irony here.) man brock's seemed a lot more accurate than mine. or. well. let me know what you think, i guess. if you are prepared to be sucked in by this shit. and let me know what kind of WEEK you're in. god damn. where do they get the names for these things?!
shit i need to sleep.

have you ever noticed how many songs talk about someone named 'jenny'? they have always seemed to be in abundance. so when i sit down and try to make a mix of jenny songs, i can only think of four. dear god, help me. it can be a title or any reference in the song, but i'm looking for the jennys.

listening to: sleater-kinney - jenny
god damn it i'm excited!
i can't believe you can watch all these video clips by a band that barely exists yet... god i love miss hersh.

listening to: 50' wave - el dorado
i'm back, loves! and i hope to god you've missed me as i've missed you... please someone call and/or feed me.
we got back home around 7:15 this evening and i called brock immediately -- i didn't even get my shit out of the car, which is kind of sad. but he squealed on the phone and he has had total cabin fever all week.
the good news: HE GOT HIS LICENSE. HE GOT A CAR. HOLY SHIT.
the bad news: he isn't really allowed to drive it yet, because of his utter lack of practice.
it doesn't matter. it's sad that he couldn't practice more during this week, so that he could come and whisk me away the second my little toes touched memphis earth. that's okay okay okay whatever. we went to bookstar for a few hours, and ran into jo, and had silly tarot card/teen read fun. what a wonderful world. a bit after she left, we became absolutely enthralled with this astrological book. brock and i are sick believers in the cosmos and accidentally spent the whole night looking at it. we read this big description of brock's Leo/Virgo Cusp of Exposure, which seemed mostly very fitting. it said they are very secretive because of strong self-judgement, so they usually find only one person who accepts them as they are. brock read the whole thing aloud and at the end he was like "well i guess my person is you" and we had a moment and his hair was very soft. i couldn't quit staring at it while he was reading. in fact, i couldn't quit staring at him on a whole. it was so great to see him again. it's kind of funny/sick that i was so anxious to be with him, since he was the last person i saw before our trip, and he's the only memphian i talked to while i was gone. there are some people i really want to see that i've barely seen all break, but what can i say? brock is brock. i would feel silly about being so excited to see him, but he was feeling the same way. although sometimes i wonder if he actually likes me or just likes me being around. god damn. at any rate, the night was kind of anticlimactic, actually, but it served its general purpose -- disintegrating that damned cabin fever.
i know that if i don't post about my time with the grandfolks soon, i won't do it at all. because that's how i be. maybe i'll just post some self-explanatory photos.

i've been such a bad poster, what with christmas and all...
i guess i will cut down on my cheap time and just say what i got:
-ipod! (santa)
-earrings (santa)
-eggplant shaker (santa)
-bubble wrap (to make my stocking look fuller than it was)
-new placebo album (morgan)
-director's series (dad)
-lovely pillow (mom)
-uniform clothes (mom)
and i can't think of anything else. it was a nice slow day, and i played with my ipod a lot. hooray. today i woke up and finished becca's gift and dropped it off at her house. i wish she'd been there, so that i could say goodbye before i leave, and so that i could explain that gift... aha oh well. then mom and i went to animax to get a present for my cousin luke, and i called brock to find out when i could see him. we were rapidly leaving his district, plus i didn't really have anything for him yet, so we went to the drum shop and bookstar where i got him a banana shaker, a music magazine, and a terry pratchett book (which was mom's idea). he got me the missy elliott album, which i am excited to listen to.
we picked him up and he came over for the rest of the lovely night. we watched a lot of my director's series video thingies, and we LOVE michel gondry. chris cunningham is creepy, and i was kind of disappointed with spike jonze. i can't wait to get other stuff from this label. it's a really awesome idea, and just what i've been really into lately. plus we love bjork because not only does she have great music, she is adorable. oh le sigh. so we did that, and just hung out in general, and acted silly, and ate pizzas. eileen came over for a few hours, too, so that she could see morgan before we left town. oh i love that little mushroom girl. i wish she could come over more often. we all went and danced in the street. brock threw leaves into the light of the streetlamp and it was beautiful. i love all those kids. we should live in a big house on a hill, with moss and cameras.
