10.1.2002
Prognosis: Shitty
Blah. I stayed home sick today. The highlight of my day: Moulin Rouge was on HBO. I never thought I'd like it, but it was a damned good movie. I'm a huge fan of the theater, after all. The rest of my day sucked. Meds for breakfast, a shower for lunch, homework for dinner. I hate being sick. I blame it on the weekend. I had fun all three days of the weekend, and this is my payback. I went on a hayrack ride. Seth labeled me "rural" after that. Saturday, after a long day at work and getting angry at my dad for going through my stuff, I left the house. "I'm going for a walk." I ended up driving across town to a Point Blanc concert. They finally made their cd, so I bought one in support of my friends. We headed off to Erin's new apartment at the Dundee Towers. I'd totally live there if I wasn't planning on going off to college next year. It's the next best thing to a downtown loft. There's a coffeehouse across the street, and the Dundee Movie Theater is just down Dodge. We caught "Big" playing at midnight. Tom Hanks has always been my favorite actor. Sunday, I tried out small groups for the first time. It's kinda like a bible study/youth group thing. It was a lot of fun and I learned quite a bit. We even ended up praying in a Taco John's. You'll never guess what I discovered... Pumpkin pie ice cream! Totally crazy. I didn't take my backpack out of my car the entire weekend. Well for a total turnaround, I'm now sitting at home with homework to finish and possible strep throat. The vice on my head has loosened up since this morning, but I still feel like crap. Blah, and I still have to get started on my college applications. Pray for me.

Dad had me going through some of Mom's old stuff today. He wanted to know if I wanted any of her makeup or clothes. I never realized how much shorter she was than me until I tried on her pants. That was a sight. Reverts back to a scene in the movie "Big." She was in my dream last night. I was getting ready to go swimming in the ocean (though I think it may have been Lake Manawa). She helped me pick out a pair of red aqua-shoes. My dad asked if she was sick or healthy in my dream. It's hard to remember her not being sick. But when I do, there's always a huge smile across my face. Some pharmacy lady called today asking for her. "No, I'm sorry. She passed away in May." I would have thought everybody knew by now, famous as she was.

I have acquired a vial of pure silver from Chem Lab. We extracted it from a silver nitrate compound (the stuff that made my purple tattoo). I doubt I have enough for it to be worth anything; but hey, pure silver is pure silver. It turns out I have 1,332 mp3's. That's over 80 hours of pure listening pleasure.

maybe you can make a bullet outta that silver and use it on him
Posted By: unohoo 10/1/2002 10:09:00 PM

My guess, judging by the times posted and the unreal number of people agreeing with and/or complimenting me, all of these posts are by the same person. Who the frick could it be? I've no idea.
Posted By: Lisa 10/1/2002 10:42:00 PM

Unohoo - no, sorry. I don't know who.
Loser J - sorry dude, but Gina and I are friends now. I was never really mad at her anyway. I just insulted her to anger someone else. She's forgiven me and we're cool. But thanks anyway.
Dave - no babies for me, thanks. I have a hard enough time looking out for myself. Besides, they're always loud and smelly.
Kristin - uh...yeah. Good luck with that.

I just love it when people who don't know shit about you attack every aspect of your integrity. I say to them "Go suck a fuck." And by people, I think you all know whom I'm talking about. Jerk.

who are you talking about, who is the jerk??
Posted By: Samantha 10/3/2002 10:09:00 PM

has anyone ever told you that you have a gift for writing?....when you are not cussing anyway
Posted By: unohoo 10/3/2002 10:17:00 PM

Gah! Who are you and why do you keep shouting out under a different alias each time? Thanks for the compliment, though I cannot accept it as genuine since I do not know who you are. I have to agree with you, though. Swearing is not very professional in journalism. However, this is somewhat of a personal diary for me and if it takes a bad word to get my feelings out, so be it.

I'm really starting to get pissed off at the lack of responses I get from people when I say hello. It really makes a person feel unloved.
We made stink bombs in Chemistry today. Soft core qualitative analysis. Score!
College is very intimidating. I know where I want to be, but I don't want to go to college there. It's so fucking hard to make a decision. I'm going to end up at Loyola University in Chicago, no matter what. I wish that I could just take a couple different schools and roll them all up into one. I suppose if I really hate it my first year, I can transfer. Gah...so much pressure. :(

No! Not Another Entry About Bryan!
I was uber-bored this evening; and instead of initiating productivity (aka completing makeup work), I was reading my old journal entries. Indeed, I bad-mouthed Bryan almost every other day...enough to make a person sick of hearing his name (yours truly included). But you know what? There were a lot of good qualities about him as well. I don't want you to think I've forgotten about his human side as well. After all, he was there for me when my mom died. I wish he hadn't broken up with me a week later, but what are ya gonna do? I had predicted it the night before in a conversation with Josh anyway. Out of all the ex-boyfriends, Bryan was the best. He's a fun guy (and somewhat of a fungus). He can always make you laugh, or at least meekly smile. He acts stupid sometimes, as we all do. Hell, it's ALL I do. But I've got to give him credit. He's taught me some things about life, and for that I thank him. So those of you who are shouting out agreements that he's a complete jerk without even knowing him, please stop. My rants are prompted by fits of rage and jealousy. There's stuff I hate about him and stuff I love about him. Although now that I've basically flushed my entire relationship with him down the toilet, indifference will have to take over.

I had a girl that I was enamored with during my youth... to her I was probably just a friend... to me she was my venus.. my siren of the my heart. The story of our rendevous in paris during our sophmore year in college was the situation they write movies about... next time i saw her was at her wedding... oh well... huh...

I went to the Nebraska vs. McNeese State game with Kara today. I could not for the life of me figure out where McNeese is from. I almost got in car accidents many times because crazed Nebraska fans don't know how to drive. The conversation on the interstate on the drive home: "Hey Lisa, how fast are we going?" "Well, Kara, we're going a whopping five miles an hour!" This is thanks to the 77,000+ people that showed up for the game. It was a sea of red as far as the eye could see. We left a little after the kick-ass half-time show because Kara's brother had just gotten a new apartment and she wanted to check it out. I must say that I am currently in love with Todd even though I only met him today. You can tell a lot about a person from the way they live, drive, etc. He carries a college-man-bag! Plus, he got me a free drink at Juice Stop. How can I resist? Speaking of Juice Stop, I think they should definitely invest in a new location, preferably across the street from my house. $4 for an extra-healthy, super-tasty fruit smoothie is a $4 well spent. Hanging out in a college town all day long has made me want to grow up even faster. Living on my own and being out of high school would relieve so many pressures. Alas, it's back to the chain gang as I have a butt-load of makeup work to do for those days I missed for being sick. Have they no compassion? Sicily's birthday party is tomorrow night, but I don't think I want to go. I had planned on just buying her a birthday card. It would be fun, no doubt; so maybe if I can get my homework done I'll show up at the last minute. This is a big maybe. Hope she likes the funny cards. I swear I had a zillion more humorous statements to make, but I'm totally drained. I was up late watching The Royal Tenenbaums (totally weird movie), and we had to wake up uber-early to get to the Husker game on time. Plus, I kept getting kicked while I was sleeping. Hmm, who could that have been?It's my own fault...she warned me beforehand. I tried calling Mr. Wonderful today, but of course he was too busy to talk. Things have been a little less bubbly between us, and I think that it's because there's a lot of growing tension. *sigh* Patience is a virtue, my dear friend. You will be overjoyed in the end.

So I'm famous...or copied. What's wrong with being Lisa-esque?
I wish Mr. Wonderful would kick your ass.

Since when is an act of kindness considered buying someone's friendship?

I got a haircut on Friday. I was about to cut it off myself with a pair of kitchen shears; it was making me so crazy. Now it's what I'd call "sassy." More so than that long-haired, Bohemian chic, hippie 'do I was sporting before. Notice the overbearing use of teen mag lingo? No one can sound halfway intelligent talking like that. That's why I no longer read them. Curtail your funding of their brainwashing literature, I tell you! It will only make your daughters depressed and suicidal in the end. Teen magazines strive to tell you what's wrong with you and how to make it better. Why should I pay good money for something that points out my shortcomings without knowing the first thing about me? They then go on to say that if I dress a certain way and buy these specific products, everyone will love me and my self-esteem will boost to the sky. What makes you think I'm unhappy with the way I already am? Dear Teen Mag: When you assume, it makes an ass out of you and me. I wonder if they're intelligent enough to understand that little lame play on words. Probably not. To contradict myself, their assumptions are making a butt-load of money. How unjust. I reiterate, don't buy the magazines. They're a bunch of poo.
In conclusion, I like my new haircut.

I officially dislike the President. I tried listening to his speech tonight concerning the impending war on Iraq and why we should go through with it. His speechwriter made some good, solid points. However, the President lost all legitimacy when he said the word nuclear. Like much of the rest of the world, I've noticed, he has fallen into the trend of mispronounciation. YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH THIS PEEVES ME. I hear it all the time in my classes at school. It's like fingernails on a chalkboard. *shudders* Ahhh! The torture. You can find this sign taped to my locker under the heading "Pet Peeve Message Board":

Pronounciation Key
Incorrect: noo-kyoo-ler
Correct: noo-kleer

Get it right or I'll come after you!
(The other sign says "Comparative grading is both unjust and unfair.")
