Lolz at my family.

Delusional Father: -contented sigh- It's good to be Jesus.
Sane Mother: Well. I can imagine... It must also be a burden, too though.
Delusional Father: Nope. Nope.



Ha, my mom just has to play along now. It's almost hilarious. He never notices the slight sarcastic thread in her voice.

--------------------------------------

Last night I felt so sick it was unreal. I got a headache around four, but had plans to hang out with Stephen, so I ignored it. Went to my grandparents' house around 7 for a cookout, and my headache continued to grow. Picked up Stephen at 8 and went to my house, where we just sat around in my room. But then it started getting dark outside so I turned on the lamp, and since we were just lying on the bed (no chairs in my room yet) it was shining right in my eyes, making everything worse. Then I decided a Sweet Leaf sounded good, so we went to United, and then to a park. Swinging + Tea + A Headache = Nauseousness. Hardcore. So I took Stephen home and then went back home myself.

I got home and ran inside. My windows are still down, my wallet and backpack is still in the car, I left the house door unlocked, I didn't brush my teeth or take down my hair, I didn't change clothes, I just dived into bed and curled up into a ball of nauseousness. I felt sooo awful.



But I slept it off, so it's all good.





I told Stephen about things with Nathan. He was pretty upset with me. I guess he feels the same kind of protective possessiveness over me that I feel over him, and hearing that probably pissed him off. I think we'll always kind of like eachother a little bit and get upset about those kinds of things, but never enough to do anything about it. Which is why we're best friends.



Maybe that's what I meant to write about? Hmmm. Nah.


I got an Arcade Fire record yesterday. Got a discount on it, too, cause Daniel's the best.





I'm going roller-skating tonight for youth. It'll be the first time I've gone in like, two months. But that's cause it was my idea for roller-skating and it's '70's themed, apparently.



Going to go eat and shower now. Yeppp.

(I'm not sure if all of these bands make vinyl yet or not...)


-Gogol Bordello. Uck, I saw the record for the exact same amount I payed for the exact same CD for Aaron's birthday. Hate my life...
-Band of Horses.
-The Black Keys.
-Otis Redding.
-Old Crow Medicine Show.
-Willy Mason.
-The Beatles. But I know we have every single one of their albums in storage, and we're clearing out storage in a few weeks.
-Bob Dylan.
-Matt Pond.
-M.I.A.
-Ghostland Observatory.
-There are more that I can't think of... Hate when that happens...



It's amazing how many new records are being made. I went to Ralph's today to pick up my CD and saw about 20 brand new, wrapped in plastic records on the shelf. Oh if only I didn't have to buy my own gas!

I re-did my room.


It is now Yellow and Purple, and I believe I'll move the furniture back in a bit.


I also rock because I can thrift like no other.




Who else got a turn table/reciever in absolutely terrific condition for only $50?


I also got a hella tight scarf that I gotta figure out how to wear. Wish I had gotten it before I went to get my yearbook photos made though, because I definitely do have a very apparent hickey. Ickkk.

I also got four records: A tango record, a Brazilian music record, a Bob Welch (you know, Bend Me Shape Me Anyway You Want Me) record, and a Rhythm of Hollywood record. That last one is Hollywood music remixed to dance to. They're all in great condition and only cost a dollar each. Yussss!


I also got a bunch of rockin' old photographs, but I couldn't find the one I really wanted. When I went in earlier this week I found one that I'm almost certain was of my grandma. I hid it to make sure when I came back today it would still be there, but I couldn't find it! Grrrr. But I got some other amazing ones. Also I got a mirror. It's just a rectangle mirror and it's kind of boring, but I really wanted somewhere I could insert pictures. I've been collecting Sweet Leaf bottle caps this summer, so I glued them around the edge, and am going to stick pictures behind them.



Once my Room is nice and set up I'll probably take some photos and show off my talent. Heh.




John came over today to keep me company while I painted, and we messed around with Earl (my record player) for a while. Apparently, doing the wicca-wicca thing screws up the needle. Oops.



Is there a way to make mix-records? That would be so awesome. I want one with the Ben Folds cover of Bitches Ain't Shit and the Old Crow Medicine Show song Wagon Wheel on it. Other songs too. I just think those would be great on record.




I ordered a CD from Ralph's back at the beginning of the summer and still haven't gotten it. I'm thinking about going up there and being like, "Hey, if it's never coming in, can I just have some store credit? I want to get me a record." They've had a Band of Horses record in there for forever, and I think that would be a good one to have. I love Band of Horses. I don't think I can see them this year though, even though they're playing at ACL. I really want a Gogol Bordello record, too, but I know I'm going to see them at ACL. Hmmm.


Anybody else going to ACL? Anyone other than Jon even know about ACL?




I'm listening to really upbeat music reminescent of the music on Oh Brother Where Art Thou and it's giving my brain a boost, that's why this entry is so random and slightly manic. Hmmm.


Going to fix my room now. Pichas lata, yo.

I'm not sure if Roman knows that Nathan and I do stuff or not (I'm guessing he does. I doubt Nathan kept it to himself and Donny, becacuse I told more people than just Amy...) but either way this is freaking hillarious:


Hannah
Hey.

Roman
hey brown eyes

Hannah
How are you?

Roman
excited! supposed to get my visa for russian on friday

and yourself?

Hannah
Sweet! I'm pretty good. Except I'm going to the doctor in a bit to see if I have skin cancer. =/

When are you going to Russia?

Roman
monday hopefully by train.

but nevermind that

skin cancer totally trumps russia

do you have a crazy lookin mole somewhere?

Hannah
Train? I'm way jealous.

I have these weird spots on my thighs.

In about the same spot on both legs...

and about the same shape.

It's creepy.

Roman
ooo

Hannah
yepp. But oh well. I'm not that worried for some reason.

Roman
maybe you have a superpower..

Hannah
Yeah!!!

Roman
see!

look on the bright side

it will be melodramatic and beautiful

you'll be told of your super powers but will have only a limited time to sread your good and fight crime or whatever the hell you'll do, untill you die of skin cancer

just so you know, i call dibs right now on making the movie of your life story.

you'll make me a millionare

Hannah
Yeah, because if they get rid of the skin cancer I'll lose my powers.

oh, of course.

I'll write it in my will.

Roman
well of course!

Hannah
Roman Levitas get's all rights to my life story.

Roman
and you'll have this inner struggle of what to do, save yourself, or the nation

because the earthquake that just happened in cali is going to get bigger!

and only you have the power to stop the tectonic plates from anhiliating all the californians

Hannah
Yeah! Because the tectonic plates in California are controlled by the worst villian of the century.

Roman
which is...

Hannah
Skin Cancer!

Roman
nathan

okay sure

haha i was thinking blackie would be a good scapegoat (Please don't take offence to that statement, everybody calls Nathan blackie, even to his face. It's only a joke.)

Hannah
Hahaha.

I think he's perfect.

I was actually thinking him as the villian but didn't want to sound racist.

Roman
so your struggle gets personal

not only are you fighting it within yourself, but also in california. your all time nemesis

and it will be like the wizard of oz

you go to the tower of skin cancer

Hannah
Who I used to be very very good friends with.

Roman
and reveal that it's just nathan sitting inside listening to lil wayne

yeah, and you have an illegitimate child of his

Hannah
Yeah, a little half-blackie.

Roman
with half skin cancer

Hannah
Yeah, only half the powers that I have, and then half the evilness that Nathan has.

Roman
sounds right

Lately I've had this incomprehensible urge to just keep driving. To go straight down Quaker, turn at 98th until I reach Slide, and hit the accelorator until I'm flying down the deserted country road. To go until I'm tired of going, and to stop. To look at the stars, to actually see the uncountable millions that become merely a few hundred when the lights of the town become more prominent. To just be happy in my own skin, happy by myself, not talking to anybody, maybe not even listening to anything, just being.












It sounds like a book or something. You know, the character just gets this urge to keep driving, to go as far as they can go before they feel like stopping, and then to just stop.

It sounds like a bearded man should come out from behind the cotton or buffalo grass with a quest or mission for the character to complete.





It sounds kind of cliche, but it would be fun to write, anyway.

I was getting my pictures for school made today, and was wearing a v-neck tee and sweats.

Me: Mammaw really wanted me to wear my new dress for the pictures today, but I don't feel good enough to wear a short dress.

Momma: If you don't feel good you should probably reschedule them. Besides, you've got a hickey.

Me: -grabs neck and mumbles- I told him not to give me one because I was getting my pictures done today.

Momma: -laughs- Go cover it up.

LATER.

Me: Can you still see it?

Momma: No. Was that Nathan?

Me: Yes. Ugh. Hickeys are gross.

Momma: Yeah, I was never to fond of them. I didn't mind getting them, though.

LATER. AGAIN.

Momma: So, are you and Nathan a thing now?

Me: No.

Momma: Heh heh heh.





Oh my mother.
