Michael Jackson had a heart attack and died. A few minutes ago. At age 50. With a comeback tour planned for the end of this year. What the hell. |

GUYS,
in case you haven't heard:
The situation in Iran is getting worse-- it's militant, non-democratic, violent, bordering on obscene...
the newly (and quite possibly illicitly) elected president and his officials, with the backing of even the religious supreme leader, are using escalating violence and mass arrests against peaceful protesters who merely want a fair and honest recount of their recent election votes. The regime needs to know that the world is watching and expects it to respect the protesters' human rights.
That's why I signed a petition standing with the protesters in Iran and with people all over the world in opposing the crackdown and pressuring the countries with the most influence over Iran to get involved. Can you join me in signing?

Thank you guys for doing this. |

funnily enough, all those places sound pretty cool to me. ha.
a police station when i'm there for a ticket/etc would make me nervous. the house of a friend i'm fighting with, too. i'm not sure there's any place i think would just make me nervous, it all depends on the situation surrounding why i'm in said place. |

[Jun. 14th, 2009|04:25 am] |
haha, yeah, actually. i like entering drawings; the chance at winning something is very enticing, and several times in my mid-teenage years i'd even enter drawings for "people age 18 and up," because i liked thinking that i could win, but didn't think i actually would. well, one day in the summer when i was 16, i believe, i was woken up my a phone call telling me i'd actually won one of the drawings i'd entered in, and the prize was a cruise trip for two. i was groggy and slightly confused from just being woken up (Lauren Simon and my parents can really attest to this), so i didn't really say anything to the chick on the phone. but after getting off, washing my face and waking up some, i sort of freaked out a little. i was excited i'd won, but was pretty much certain i'd be disqualified/lose the win because i'm actually 2 years younger than i was supposed to be. i thought about it, and i really wanted to take Jill, but the age thing... and so i pondered asking mom about going, and that we could say she was the one who'd won, but then remembered i'd had to put my name on the entry form and they could check my mom's IDs and see she wasn't me. so i ended up being too freaked out about being wrong for entering too young to do anything. i just never contacted them back. i kinda wish i had, on the off-chance that we'd gotten to go. oh well, i guess i'll never really know now, will i? |

THE SIXTIES. so i could live through/experience/protest/etcetc in the 60s as a teenager and gain the experience to continue to do it even better as a 20something in the 70s.
no question about it.
i'll elaborate some other time. |

okay, so i have some more of that story i'm writing.
or those slice-of-life things i've been writing that may or may not end up being attached to each other.
reading and concrit would be excellent!
*looks pointedly at nerdy_leo and hav_u_ben_crazy in particular*
( on to the scenes! there are three right now, and they're in progress, i think. or maybe i'll leave them as they are, part of scenes without real beginnings or ends? i dunno. i just write these as i go. )
i have a bit of an issue when writing. usually i have a deadline the next day that forces me to finish papers and things of that nature, after starting them that night, of course. i still always follow the "write things LATE at night" course of action, but i don't have deadlines for these sorts of things. i have the scene i want in my head, and i want to write it, and i begin, and start getting into it... and then feel the urge to go do something else. like, i can't finish writing a scene in one sitting or something. i wonder if it's in any way connected to ADD, or my diagnosed OCD, or if it's a mental block or i'm just stupid.
i want to write it, i have the general idea of what i want written, why can't i just get it all down? i have this problem with a lot of things i write, it was pretty consistent in high school as well... wtf.
and now i can blame it on wanting sleep. damnit being 5am. wtf again.
PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK OF THIS STUFF PLEASE. |

talking to someone about Wicked earlier, they say the musical was awesome and ask what my favorite song is. here's the MONSOON of an answer they got:
FUCK YEAH, the musical was... oh god, i was gonna type it so i might as well, awesome Freudian slip here... wicked!
i'm going to tell what i think of several songs. okay, more like half the soundtrack, all the ones i really like.
...hooray! 8D right?
( my thoughts on my favorite of the songs. SPOILERS DON'T READ IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN! )
so that was long.
...i really need someone to talk to about this musical, basically. or just rant to. someone who's SEEN it, because i HATE SPOILERS.
it's like, school's over, so i threw myself into something to keep from being bored before Summer1 starts, and Wicked was it (i had to repress the obsessing until after finals, or i never would have finished ANYTHING, you see).
the people i used talk to about musicals and books and movies and things in highschool didn't get to see it (Jill, Josh, etc, even Mrs. Cantwell, my choir teacher who assigned us to sing For Good at graduation, didn't see it!), and i didn't begin obsessing until all the Montevallo people i could have talked to went home after the semester. so blah. ha. |

definitely did not write this one myself, but it's one of my favorites. found on the inside door of the back stall in a women's restroom of Al's Mediterranean Grill, a 24-hour dive in downtown Birmingham, AL; one of my favorite places to eat-- i highly recommend the veggie burger (which i don't like anywhere else), the chicken fingers there are the best i've ever tasted (and i have eaten a lot of those from a lot of places), wraps, bakers, gyros, sandwiches, etc...
and i'm just gonna stop.
ANYWAY. located in a bathroom stall in AL:
"There once was a whore from Peru*
Who filled her vagina with glue.
She said with a grin,
'If they pay to get in,
They can pay to get out again, too!'"
*the original said "Zalamazoo," but this fits into the meter better.... |

here is R Patz's look in the Salvador Dali movie, "little ashes."
....i'm not really sure what to say.
i kind of want to see it, number one because it's Salvador Dali... and number two, because i need to be sure if Robert can actually act or not.
but the mustache... i don't think it suits him at all.
EDIT.
3D Realms, the team that brought us Duke Nukem and has been working on "Duke Nukem Forever" for... well... forever, abruptly ran out of money yesterday, fired everyone, and closed down, thus cancelling "Duke Nukem Forever." this is kind of sad, but... not like it wasn't a huge possibility. |

on Montevallo:
Matt Duke
"It's its own little bubble, you know? Like this random encounter- couldn't have happened somewhere else."
Me
"If it did, it would be with... a bum."
Matt
"Yeah, someone who wants to stab you and steal your wallet. ...not someone who'll help you move stuff and give you cigarettes.
*laughs*
And you can quote me on that, if you want."
...so i did. |
