since livejournal is the closest thing i've had to a diary throughout high school i've made it my project to copy and paste all past entries onto a word document. this is so in twenty years i'll read all this shit and remember who i was in high school. but reading it now is really tripping me up. i just found this entrie from last year:

i just became incredibly sad. i don't know why, maybe it's because today i am officially a senior, and next year i'm going to become a legal adult, and then i'll be going to college and be on my own, and not living in the same house i've lived in all my life and be with complete strangers and losing friends i've had forever and never see certain people again who i've seen everyday for 10(-) years. but i don't think that's what it is. i think it's because i wish i was a freshmen, i wish i would have enjoyed these past three years more, and you know, really took them in, cause they went by so fast and i can't believe it's almost over. maybe i'm just being dramatic, i still have a year, i should just take my own advice, but i know i won't.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
anyway, this summer is going to SUCK!
everyone is working, i of course have no job, and everyone is always busy!!! i have no idea what i'll do with myself but i really don't want to be depressed during my last weeks of freedom

if anyone knows of any job opportunities please COMMENT!

this weekend what did i do? well friday night i babysat, psycho child who was racist and going through her little "you aren't the boss of me i can do whatever i want," phase. on sat i was going to go out but ended up baking (literally: muffins) and baking (smoking) (nice little pun). not very exciting. it was really depressing, yesterday i woke up at twelve and then went to bed at about twelve and when i got in bed i felt like i had just been there, i barely remembered my day, it just felt like i got up to pee and then was back in the bed, it felt like i had just wasted a day, that's how it's been going lately, just going through the motions ("until i'm old enough to drop out"-what's that from????????? i'll buy you a candy bar if you get it!) and every day feels kind of like a waste of life, not really doing anything good with my time. i know i should get off my ass and do something about it but, well really i have no excuse.

"i showed off my evil motives"

well, i'm drunk. i haven't gotten drunk in a loooooooong time. and i've never been drunk withought being high. i don't know what happened. tonight we had the play and i forgot one of my props and had to make up new lines, it was horrible and it definately didn't sound like shakespeare. after the play we all went to miriams house and there was beer and wine, a few freshmen got really drunk, they are so sexual, all they talk about is sex, one of them even flashed everyone, it was funny! i love them. i was fine for a while but then downed two glasses of wine and all of a sudden was drunk and so i just decided to post because i thought it would be fun to have a really drunk post. god i'm going to miss those little freshmen, they are so cute, i'm actaully goint to even miss the play, but i'm happy i'm done preforming it. i love drunk people

i'll post pictures in the next couple of days, tomrrow i'm flying to vermont to vistit university of vermont

ps i saw lillian and her boyfriend and karen and her boyfriend making out, god damn it!

"it's time we flew!"

2005-01-28T03:05:15Z

i'm trying to make my senior page. i've been excited about this and planning it for ten years, and now i have absolutely no clue what to do. i played around with all these pictures of the beach and overlapping them with pictures of my friends but it just looks too busy. i thought maybe i'd put lots of pictures of water and put a bunch of pictures of my friends from the summer on it but it looked wierd. i thought about putting wings on all the pictures and having them fly to match my favorite poem, but i thought that was silly. I thought about putting a picture of the woods and autum and having the pictures look like leaves but that would take too much time and effort, and i only have tonight. i feel like i have to sum up everything i've felt and remember and cared about in four years on this one page, it's so HARD!!!! i have about 150 pictures and only room for about 4.
also, i have no idea what to say. How could i possibly put into words what i feel about my friends and family, and all the people who helped me get through these four long, complicated, crazy years? i might not write anything...

tomorrow is the play, i'm scared shitless. i hated doing it at first but now i'm having fun, i love hanging out with these frshmen, they're CARAYZAY! they are the horniest people i've ever talked to! they crack me up

a wonderfully mediocre yet unusual weekend here's how it went: friday had rehearsal (yes i'm in the play) met up with miriam and zoe at a piercing place, they each got one on their ear, the person who pierced them looked a lot like someone from my camp but was wearing really bizarre red makeup and had about twenty piercings on her face then we were going to go to smalls but decided to go to ultrahip bar, Maxfish-our id's were denied so we went across the street to a bar called "darkroom" that was more fun, it was crowded and there were lots of older people but it was fun anyway, we got drinks and just talked to eachother but then we got a little drunk, zoe especially aww Zoe's Drunkeness expressed through pictures: phase 1 phase 2 (dancing) phase 3 phase 4 phase 5 phase 6 then stephanie was hungry so we went out and got her a crepe the next night we decided to try out luck again, and one again, we were denied entry because of out shitty, pathetic fake ids so once again we went to darkroom where i got a little shitfaced or should i say "feakled"?? Camille was there too but for some reason i don't have any pictures of her. we left darkroom pretty early and walked around the east village looking for somewhere else to go, it wasn't as hoppin as the night before of course we didn't find anywhere, i was burnt out and freezing, so i went home next night was my mommy's birthday, we went to a really fancy resturant where we ate really rich exotic fancy food, once again a little tipsy with my parents, we were definately the least sophisticated people there, my parents both told me their worst drunken moments, it was funny and that was the end of my break! ewww school by the way! everyone's friends page is going to have to suffer through my ridiculously long posts until i find out how to do that link thing so somebody please explain it to meeeee!

2005-01-13T04:36:43Z

welll nowwww

i've been sick as a dog for two days, i had a pounding head ache all day and my nose has been stuffed. gross

i'm considering taking a year off and going to costa rica to do habitat for humanity, i'm soooo sick of school! i had to write an art journal log that was due yesterday, but of course, i only wrote half. senioritis is seriously kicking in. i don't like art history, i think it's DUMB. i don't really know why i'm doing work any more, i don't want to fail but i can not bring myself to do my work, it's very very lame. i just really honestly don't care about byzantine churches and mosaics of Justinean. it've very pathetic but all i want to do is smoke pot and lay around with my friends. i really wish it were warm out so i could just lay on my roof all day. i feel like it's gonna be a looooooong winter. if any other seniors can understand please say ay! so i know i'm not just goin ca ray zay

my mom told me that she's taking me to spain for a week as an 18th birthday/graduation present. i'm very excited, but a little nervous. we always freak out at eachother when we go on trips together because she's a museum freak and i'm more of a "let's explore and see what we find" kind of traveler. oh well i'm sure it'll be great.

i need to get my drivers license. not that i'm qualified or anything, i'm a horrible parker and i actually have no idea how to do a three point turn. as soon as i get it i'm driving everyone up to my country house. AH that'll be the day.

i'm going to baltimore this weekend with maggie. can't wait. i'll take looots of pictures.

cuteness!

if anyone is feeling like a good cry or like an asshole for not being motivated enough to go out and help other people go see "Hotel Rwanda" it was such an amazing movie, when i see things like it i feel so horrible about the way i live and feel like i should just quit school, forget about college, forget about fashion and just go work for the red cross or the peace corps. But what's even worse is that i know i should do something like that and yet i don't, i feel like it's even worse that being clueless.

i think it's time to move to costa rica and join the peace corps...

Millions of lives are on the line. The U.S. government can lead billions of dollars of aid into the tsunami relief effort, if it chooses. Let Congress and the President know that Americans are supporting strong leadership in this relief effort.

Take Action

Dear MoveOn member,

The tsunami in southern Asia and Africa may be the worst natural disaster of our time. More than 116,000 lives were wiped out within hours. The toll in death and suffering from smashed cities, broken families, rampant disease, and crippled economies cannot even be calculated. In the face of this horror, MoveOn members have poured in requests to help, asking how we can push through our sadness and lend a hand.

Rising to this challenge is at the heart of global leadership, and the world is depending on us. The U.S. government can lead billions of dollars of aid into this relief effort, if it chooses. Americans are generous and ready to step forward, but the U.S. Congress and the Bush administration have made a weak initial contribution to the effort -- first offering $15 million and then $35 million when they came under pressure. Clearly, we can do more.

Let Congress and the President know that Americans are supporting strong leadership in this relief effort -- that millions of lives are at stake and we have to help. In this hour of need, if America chooses to embrace our role as a world leader, we can have an unparalleled impact. Send a message to our leaders at:

  http://www.moveon.org/tsunamirelief/

But we can't just wait for this Congress to move. We can help directly, as individuals, and save lives today. Our friends at Oxfam are already scrambling on the front lines to fight off starvation and disease -- and beginning to rebuild. Because Oxfam has worked for years with grassroots groups in the hardest hit areas, they were able to mobilize local leadership to help survivors immediately after the tsunami hit. And Oxfam will be there for the long-term, helping communities recover and regain their ability to meet basic needs. Oxfam needs to raise $5 million immediately to provide safe water, sanitation, food, shelter, and clothing to 36,000 families in Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and India. Your contribution can make this possible.

Please give what you can, at:

  http://www.moveon.org/r?r=631

Of course, Oxfam is only one of dozens of great organizations, like UNICEF, CARE, and the Red Cross/Red Crescent, rushing to help with the immediate need. Their efforts give the victims a head start, but it won't be enough unless the great nations of the world step forward in a big way for the long-term challenges.

Indonesia, by far the hardest hit country, is also the world's largest Muslim nation. Their estimated death toll stands at 85,000 -- in some areas, 1 out of 4 people have already been killed. Now it's time for America to show its true colors. We want to be known as a nation that leads the world with compassion, generosity, and community -- not with disastrous foreign military adventures. We are a nation that values human life, family, and extending freedom and opportunity to where it is most needed. We must now reach out in a serious way to do just that.

The $35 million offered by the Bush administration seems like a lot of money, but it's insignificant compared to what's needed in a disaster relief effort than spans continents and is expected to be the most expensive in history. To put it in perspective, we're spending $35 million in Iraq every 7 hours. (The Bush administration is about to ask for another $80 billion to cover the next installment of this tragic occupation.)1

We can and will do better. Thanks for doing your part to show the true generosity of the American spirit.

Sincerely,

--Adam, Ben, Carrie, Eli, James, Joan, Justin, Laura, Mari, Noah, Rosalyn, and Wes

2005-01-02T21:33:04Z

quick recap of new years: went to see sleeter kinny, flaming lips and wilco. didn't like sleeter to be honest, loved the flaming lips, they sounded great but their weird videos kind of freaked me out and i was already burnt out by the time they played so i barely danced, and then was forced to leave before wilco because my friends wanted to go to parties.

after the concert we came into bklyn but there was nothing to do so we waited in a deli for maggie and saw a bunch of punks who were obviously younger than us comming out of an ally way and then buying beer which was funny, they seemed nervous and discombobulated, exactly how i act when buying liquor

ended up being midnight while we were walking to a party so we shouted happy new year, not so bad

wnet to a party but it was over so we waited outside and tried to call stephanie but all the lines were tied up

ran into a couple people

finally reached stephanie and walked to a different party but that was broken up as well-saw more people-they left so as usual we had nothing to do

decided to go to zoe's and ran into gushee (sp?) who i thought went missing in the woods or something-everyone decided to buy shrooms from him so we went up to zoe's house and i smoked while everyone else ate them

everyone started tripping, i was really high but burnt so i watched a movie and fell asleep

was woken up about 40,000,000,000 times by crazy tripping girls screaming and rubbing me down asking me for my pipe

screaming stopped at about 6 a.m. - good sleeping until 10 a.m. went home and was hung over all the next day, basically passing out during brunch

all in all, although it was somehwat dissapointing i didn't have high hopes so i would say it was a pretty fun night- not a bad new years- i was with all my favorite people

oh! and i saw my friend from camp who i haven't seen in about two years and we smoked together at the concert, it was hilarious, i miss her

ALSO!!!!
since i got a digital camera for xmas i want to become one of those people who puts tons of pictures on their lj but i don't know how to make it so you click on a link and it goes to comments and you can see all the pics, so if anyone knows how to do that or even knows what i'm talking about, PLEASE TELL ME!

sooooo, i can't WAIT until this weekend, though nothing particularly special is happening, i just can't wait until this week is over, today i thought it was thursday, pretty SAD.
i think my ear is infected, it's gross and magenta and hurts, today i missed a really juicy universe during drama because i had to "haul ass to the ladies" (or maybe it's kitchen? anyway-WHAT'S THAT FROM??????) and put soap and water on it and then twist in around, i'm beginning to remember why i took out my nose ring.

okay well i have an annoucement:

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN SEEING:
WILCO
THE FLAMING LIPS
SLEETER KINNEY
THERE IS A POSSIBLITY I HAVE TWO EXTRA TICKETS
THEY'RE $66 EACH AND THE CONCERT IS ON NEW YEARS EVE AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN
COMMENT IF YOU'RE INTERESTED AND

WE'LL TALK

this better be symetrical...

my parents are freaking out because they think i'm a "stoner" because i smoke by myself. they say it's as bad as drinking by yourself, does anyone agree with that? a couple nights ago i seriously embarassed myself by coming home stoned and walking into my parents room laughing hysterically, now my parents are acting like i'm addicted. i think it's funny because my dad says he was blazed every day in college but never smoked alone, so he wasn't a stoner...hmm, i don't think it works that way but maybe it's just me. what's really annoying though is that i can't say, "it's not like i have a problem or anything," because that's the classic cliche addict phrase, oyyyyyyyyyyyy

oh and i know this sounds really bad bringing this up right after that last paragraph where i'm trying to convince everyone i'm not a burn out but, does anyone know where i can find a gravity bong in the city? ha ha

a product of sexual frustration....

2004-12-06T00:14:37Z

you know what, fuck all these crazy amazing poetic artists that went to micaaaaaaa!!!!!!!! they're all so goddamned talented! GAH!!!!!!
anyway, speaking of god, today i went to a baptist church for a religion project, i was the only white person there and almost definately the youngest, it was awsome. they were all singing gospel songs and there was this huge choir and it was crazy.
i have SO much work this week, and i haven't bought any christmas presents yet. ugh, fucking bfs, the teachers are such fucking assholes, i said something during quaker meeting on wed and terry got up at the end and thanked me and was like, "thank you perrie, i think we definately all understand what you're talkinng about, comming late to quaker meeting is extremely disrepectful and i can completely relate to your frustration with people disrupting the silence." he completely twisted what i said, because actually, i was talking about the goddamn administration and how they use quakerism only when it's convenient, he completely proved my point and i definately wasn't talking about the students OR quaker meeting. tomorrow i have a meeting with micheal nill which should be HORRIBLE. i really don't want to talk to him, especially tomorrow because i was really high last night and today i must of asked my mom what i was talking about like 30 times in twenty minutes, so i hope i get over that by tomorrow
anyway this weekend i got my ear pierced:

this weekend was really exciting, i got lots of shoes, all exTREMELY cheap at this great salvation army in nj, then went to philly with aviva and went to really weird but great resteraunts that were decorated really nicely, the first one had about three thousand different things going on and was waaaaaay too hip for it's own good but it was fun, i tasted my first wiskey sour and white russian, then we went to south street and walked around, i took a picture with a giant purell bottle and got a dress at this place called "retrospect" and then we went to this really shitty junk shop which was really cheap where i got a little velvet mini dress and a shirt for 8$, and then we started driving home and aviva played gogol bordello (doesn't this make you happy aviva, i'm WRITING about them!) who i'm now obsessed with and am listening to right now. then last night i went to zoe's thanksgiving dinner. the most ECENTRIC people go to that thing. it was really funny, at the end when people were done eating, zoe's dad and some other old guys were playing music and singing, and i just got so excited. it had never really hit me who zoe's dad was, i always just thought of him as her dad, but i guess it was because aviva and i had been talking about the fugs earlier that it suddenly hit me that there were so many people who would freak out if they were sitting there and i didn't even really notice. i just kind of can't believe i saw this really kind of revelutionary singer just "jamming" with his old hippy friends, it was really amazing. anyway, i have to finish five more applications by dec. 15. yikes. i think i'm going to send in my camp application, TUESAY! winter break in 3 weekssssss!

dope show.

2004-11-25T01:36:48Z

okay well tomorrow is thanksgiving so i thought it would be nice to write a post about everything i'm thankful for, but i'm not very good at articulating things like this, so, i'll just say, i'm thankful for everything i have, for the life i've been blessed with, for having an education, for my friends, for my family, etc etc, i basically thankful that i have a lot to be thankful for.

i'm embarrassed to say (even though it's an awsome show), i've been watching i love the 90's for about two hours, and i just realized how much they play hanson! it's in the background to like EVERY thing they talk about!!!

today was one of the most painful days of my life, i had a mini panic attack during quaker meeting and started hyper ventilating, i just can't believe after four years of this, after so much protesting and effort, and after he's done such horrible things, he gets another four years, i just can't believe or understand it, this morning i was enraged, now i'm just kind of sad and hopeless
