  • it has just occurred to me... that i am 20. all of my friends who are going to be 20 are like whooaaaa that's so old. but i don't really feel very old.

    in fact, i feel pretty young compared to... some of my friends. my exes. "adults"... maybe because i act like a child. ha. in chess club on tuesday they were calling me "the baby" even though i am by no means the youngest one there.

    i feel like i should have something profound and wise to say. but i really don't. i just feel like a really old 19-year-old. that is to say, exactly the same as i did yesterday except maybe a bit more entitled to do whatever the fuck i want.

    i actually had a pretty good birthday this year. perhaps BECAUSE i did whatever the fuck i wanted.

    which really isn't much. basically...
    i woke up. i drove home, listening to my new ipod all the while. i got home. my mom and i went and bummed around and she bought me a pair of jeans and some new tights. then i went to Olive Garden with my dad and grandparents and got like 20 bucks from them. i came home. saw my cat and my brothers and drank an entire bottle of champagne. and it was good.

     apparently, my tastes simpler than i thought.

  • Halloween + my costume + 5 reasons that i am the best drunk ever

    so i went to my first real party last night. it was a very interesting social experiment, really. not that that was my purpose in going (gotta celebrate Halloween, bitches.) but everything turns into a social experiment with me, seriously.

    so a brief description of the party, which was very fun, i must say, but maybe that's just because it was Halloween and MOST of the people were pretty cool. ( i even ran into someone i know and like. needless to say, he was shocked to see me at a party. and i was shocked to see him as a moose.)
    let's talk about the ones that weren't cool though, 'cause that's so much more fun.

    well, there were 3 slutty playboy bunnies and 2 slutty crayons and a few slutty girls that weren't dressed up at all. and a really slutty, flat-chested sailor girl. and a slutty cowgirl. ...this made my costume one of the more unique, clever, and tasteful (which surprised me because i was planning on being not-so-covered in my costume)

    i was a black widow, by the way. i totally went for the double meaning, as i had a spider theme, and i was a widow: rocked a wedding-esque ring on my ring finger and a veil. i'll probably put more pictures up later if they're not terrible. the people i was with insisted on taking pictures of me.















    i think i had to explain what i was to drunk people more than once... but i kind of anticipated that. one guy asked me what i was and i was like "a black widow" and he's like... "wait... but you're not a spider?" it was kind of amusing, i guess.

    anyway, there was also a gorilla, and some guys with childhood superhero costumes that were too small, a male prostitute, a redcoat, a veteran, a warrior princess, some girl wearing a dress and a feather boa, etc. OH and a guy who was supposed to be a Mexican but he kept talking in an accent that sounded French. and i kept telling him so. it was kind of hilarious.

    the male prostitute (in his see throughesque white, belted fishnet shirt and glittery pants....) was pelvic thrusting all over the place, especially during beer pong. which i am apparently a natural at, by the way! but we beat him. AND his glitter pants. so it's k.

    and then there was this girl who was talking to a girl i was actually getting along with and she kept talking about her red Ford Focus and how we were all going to take a ride in it and i was just like no. and she tried to hug me. and that was obnoxious.

    but with the exception of those people, i can actually say that everyone there was pretty cool and i really did have a good time.

    i did get fairly drunk, but it's ok because i'm the best drunk ever.

    reasons i am the best drunk ever:
    1. i am soooooooooooo happy. and i will stay soooooooooooo happy as long as there are things going on, no people talking about my exes, and occasionally cheese curds, which i always crave like none other whenever i get drunk. i got cheese curds last night. and i was happy.

    2. i don't ever throw up. ever. i started drinking over the summer. when i drink, i drink significant amounts of alcohol, but either it's never enough to make me throw up or my stomach is just a marvelous organ.

    3. i have a fantastic memory. if you tell me something when i'm drunk, 95% of the time i'll remember it. i will also, while drunk, remember people's names, things like that i need to grab my coat before getting on the drunk bus, the number of the drunk bus...

    4. i am conscious of my spelling and grammar. even if i am so inebriated that i am hitting the wrong keys, i will almost always attempt to *correct them. and typically succeed, eventually. haha.

    5. i still tell it like it fucking is, even while intoxicated. if you are a creepy, smelly drunk, i'm going to tell you that you're a creepy smelly drunk. i guess this is usually pretty hilarious to other drunks.

  • i am a restless, reckless, rebellious wreck.
    you can't reach me or reason with me
    and i can't resist you.

    and i burn bridges better than if my blood were kerosene and my fingers were matches.
    that is to say, more or less naturally.

    all poetic thoughts aside, my life is shit.

  • "no hay mal que por bien lo venga."
    my brain cries foul.
    because i am a pessimist.
    but
    every night before i go to sleep, i am wildly optimistic.
    it's like a fever breaking... or maybe like a fever breaking out.
    opposite extremes, like you and me.

    reality hits so hard during the day sometimes that there is no way i can possibly sleep unless i start dreaming beforehand.
    and sometimes not even then.

    i can't look on the bright side, because something always casts a shadow over even the lights i walk in.

    no hay bien que por mal no venga.

    it works both ways.

  • i wrote this in my sleep

    just bite your tongue
    till you taste blood
    we've both got nothing left
    none more wrathful,
    none less free ...
    and still we go not kept
    lost causes never were
    so lost as when they
    played pretend;
    unspoken treads
    invisibly
    a means too mean to end.
    and sweet like sleep
    you beckon me
    but promise nothing in return
    no threat or comfort of a dream
    you brought me here to burn.
    our haunted hearts
    both drier than
    your eyes,
    all up in smoke
    and dull to me,
    we love as only
    moral mortals can:
    conversationally.




    ...and it woke me up.

  • reasons to hate everyone: number 38497347843897493

    it's yucky outside. so i've been drinking a lot of tea this morning.
    so naturally, eventually, i had to pee.
    being a polite person, i went to the bathroom to do this. understandable, i think.
    when i walked in, however, there was one girl standing at the sink doing absolutely nothing and another girl about to get in the shower. they were having an abnormally loud gossipy conversation about i can't even remember what, further amplified by the lovely dorm-bathroom acoustics.

    they shot me absolutely the most ANNOYED look as i walked in on their conversation. so i peed. and of course, thirty seconds later they were still talking.
    washed my hands. still talking.

    now, normally, i am opposed to the hand-dryers in the bathrooms. i abhor the noise they make. however, in this case, i found it utterly appropriate to turn on the hand dryer and stand their leisurely drying my hands as they struggled to talk over it. smiling all the while. and smiling as i walked out.

    my own vindictiveness pleases me an unreasonable amount.

    and it's funny how even the most obnoxious noises are preferable to vacuous conversations.

    but seriously, for some reason, the girls i get stuck with in my dorms are for some reason the most inconsiderate people ever. i think this is because all people are inconsiderate assholes, but that's neither here nor there.

    our dorm hall is composed of little squares basically. there are no rooms across the hall from one another.
    therefore, it is wholly unnecessary to stand directly outside of my room and talk.

    and then last night at like 12:45 some retarded girls were walking by my door and decided to bang on it. probably because my roommate is fucking retarded and wrote "knock for a Hershy kiss:)"  yes, she spelled Hershey wrong.
    because apparently, she's trying really hard to get rid of them... and it's like, if you REALLY don't want them that badly, throw them away! it'd be about the same as giving them to dumb skanks in our hall who would just as soon throw them up anyway.

    bitch, it's not like you're solving world hunger or anything by letting them sit in our room until people knock and no one has knocked so far.  ...and probably never will because now under her little note of "not after 11PM" it says "FUCKIN' DUMBASSES" in my handwriting.

    but seriously, i should just take her to where the homeless guy hangs out by Petco and let her give them to him. and he can beat her up and tell her that he wanted "sox" (also known in the language of homeless people holding signs as "cocaine") and that Hershey kisses don't do anyone any good at all unless they have almonds in them.

  • it seems like lots of people are talking/thinking/fantasizing about majors lately.
    which of course makes me think about my major.

    i was having a conversation about why i'm a journalism major this morning. why the fuck am i a journalism major?

    i mean, i love writing.
    but i would probably go insane reporting the actual news...
    .. although, if i got to write about the stupid things people actually do... that's almost as good as making fun of them, right?
    ...and there's an awful lot of death and chaos... i could see myself being pretty happy investigating crime scenes... or writing obituaries.
    though with writing obituaries, you more or less have to be nice about people (AKA lie through your teeth)... i do have to wonder, though, what would happen if i wrote realistic obituaries... "Mark was a great father and husband... when he wasn't molesting the kids or beating his wife. He was a wonderful representative of humanity: stupid, ugly, and selfish. (Which pretty much sums up humanity, therefore making him a good representative.)" or...  "Jill was just as beautiful in death as she was in life. Sadly, that's not saying very much."

    yes, i definitely think that's the job for me.

    really though, what i would dearly love, is to have my own bitchy, opinionated newspaper column to fill with my hatred for all of the useless things in the world. or to write for The Onion, which would be similar.

    in the conversation i was having this morning, the person i was talking to said that that would only work if my opinions were the same as everyone else's and i said "well what if my opinions are so different that it becomes controversial and people want to read just to bitch at me?" and then he said "Bill O'Reilly doesn't win because he's hilariously stupid, he wins because the South actually loves him."

    i had no idea who that was. i don't watch the news, are you kidding me? i fucking hate the news. (... why am i a journalism major again?)

    but apparently he's some crazy guy on Fox News. i don't know what he says... but if i had my own column, i'd probably do things... like i do in my blog. like post conversations with a deluded weird ass Christian guy. you have to figure some people would think that's hilarious and agree with me (because that actually happened)... and then there would be some more whack jobs out there willing to defend people like Brett I (which has not yet happened. but i bet it would if i had a wider circle.)

    my point was.. either way, people would be reading my shit. either way, my opinion would be out there. which means, i would win. because that is what i want. getting my way = win.

  • my cat Walter is the best cat ever. 
    find a more awesome cat, i dare you. 
    because it simply cannot be done. i am so confident that you will not succeed, that i will bet you anything i own, including what's left of my soul, except for my cat .... because, let's face it, my cat is too precious to bet.

    why is my cat so awesome, you may wonder. well. he is super silky-soft and furry and pompous.

    nearly all cats are furry, you might argue. not furry like this. this is pretty much the softest cat ever. for fucking real.



    how cute is this shit? seriously. on a scale of 1-10, i'd say it's pretty fucking cute. which is not even on the scale, i know.

    anyway, i'm just being kind of silly now, i guess. but in all seriousness, i love my cat more than a person has ever loved a cat or probably even another person. my cat is the only living creature i have come into contact with that has never made me sad and whose existence seems to be "worth it" 100% of the time.

    so yeah. i've been feeling pretty down lately... so i came home this weekend to see my cat. and, while i'm still not the happiest person in the world, my cat is definitely cheering me up significantly. seriously, guys, i fucking love this cat. and thought it merited a blog.

    this is probably some indication that i will be a crazy cat lady someday. but we already knew that, didn't we?

  • the truth hurts, so this should be painless

    i am infamous for being a little too honest. sometimes unintentionally.

    i don't know why i bother, really. other than the fact that i feel that i have to. an actual, psychological and physical need to be overly honest.
    occasionally, i can't sleep until i've said something. which may be why i've become something of an insomniac lately. too much to say, an immense fear of saying it. ...and honesty doesn't really get you anywhere.

    i don't know if i've ever touched on this subject in my blog. i know i have been thinking about it for a while now... but really... what does honesty do for you? what does honesty do for anyone?

    it's basically expected that you lie to get ahead in the world. name me a situation in which you get ahead by being honest. or rather.. name me a situation in which you get ahead  by being honest more so than you would get ahead by lying. unless you're Pinocchio, it probably doesn't happen.

    for example, you find one hundred dollars on the ground. you do the honest thing and take it to the police. chances are, you get their thanks. maybe a small reward, of less than one hundred dollars of course. and that's all (sorry, but i don't believe in karma.)... well... had you been dishonest, you would have gotten one hundred dollars and would therefore be ahead of where you are now.

    which has nothing to do with anything, really. the real issue is telling people the actual truth. most of the time, they don't like it.

    and yet, i have a disgusting compulsion to tell people how things really are.
    and this is why i don't sleep. this is why i get so upset when someone has a misconception about me.

    in all honesty, i am pretty drunk right now. in all honesty, i don't care whether anyone reads this blog or what the truth is as long as it's not harsh words coming out of a select few mouths. in all honesty, i don't know what's good for me and sorely wish someone did. in all honesty, whenever i tell too much of the truth, i'm the one that ends up getting hurt. but i can't fucking help myself. in all motherfucking honesty, i am going to keep crossing the invisible line as long as it feels right.
     ... and, lastly, in all honesty, i will probably read this when i wake up and delete it because it's so corny. but i will also take the time to note the beautiful craftsmanship of this blog (AKA all the concentration it took to type this.)

  • breaking news!

    In a never before seen phenomenon, a woman was rejected from Hell, at approximately 9:43 AM Monday, in my dreams.

    J. Larso*, after being stabbed and burned by a mob of angry students with pitchforks and torches,  mercifully died at approximately 9:47 AM. In my dreams.

    It was then that her soul (so black that it matched her mustache), while trying to pass into Hell, was rejected by Satan himself.

    "Yeah, most people are surprised to learn that there is, like, a max capacity for the evil that Hell can contain," said Satan to the mob of pissed off news writing students. Larso exceeded that capacity. On her own. It was over nine thousand, according to several nerdy witnesses.

    "The other demons... they're just afraid of her," said Satan, as Larso's soul bit through the chains that were holding it at the gates of Hell. "She breathes fire for no reason. No fucking reason!" After this, the little red horny man became too hysterical to further comment on the matter.

    Larso's age, though unknown, does not justify her having a mustache.

    *To protect the privacy of evil teachers, names have been changed. Actually, I just removed an n. Go nuts.


    this is me "practicing" my news writing. because i got a fucking D on a test because my teacher is an insanely evil harpy bitch Nazi, for whom it is ok to MAKE spelling errors AKA "fact errors" but to whom it is absolutely not ok for you to do the same. if you do, her eyes will drip blood, she will breathe fire, and her evilness level WILL exceed 9,000. and she will give you a D. After making you do over 9,000 pointless graded activities for her class that have nothing to do with the aforementioned test whatsoever.

    actually, this is not me practicing my news writing. this is me being a bitch and violating as many of her "rules" as i see fit.

    i've really just had it with these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane.

  • after posting a picture of a "hot" girl dressed as a pikachu:

    Cikachu: she is a beautiful girl
    Cikachu: in the same way a flower pot is beautiful
    rocketdogzzz: meaning you want to fill her with your seed


    i would just like to say that i am fucking amazing. any objections?

    ...that's what i thought.

  • increasingly often lately, what i'm thinking can't even be put into words.
    for someone normally so articulate and keen to explain, i find myself getting more and more frustrated with communicating clearly  and am constantly worried that i am creating verbal misunderstandings.

    physicality, actions are just easier right now. that doesn't usually happen.

    i'm just as emotional as ever, there's just really outlet for it, since i don't feel i am writing (or speaking) very clearly.

    since i can't make simple thoughts coherent with sentences or explanations, i will try to at least label my emotions:

    currently, i'm feeling a mix of happiness carried over from yesterday afternoon and anxiety that slipped in in the middle of the night due to other things.

    over the course of yesterday though, i managed to feel: disappointment, annoyance, hopelessness, contentedness, a minor amount of anger or jealousy or both, adoration, hopefulness, surprise, crazy extreme desire, utter satisfaction, popularity somehow, mystery/vagueness, hunger, nothing at all, stress, anxiety, wondering, reflective of the day and therefore contentedness again overall.

    more or less in that order.

    i have to wonder if everyone else goes through such a range in a day.

  • Pure Ignorance: A Conversation With a Deluded Christian


    so one day, i was on the internets when this Christian dude comes and makes a religious comment. so naturally i humbly disagreed (seriously, all i said was "i don't believe in god." to his religious remark) and he FLIPS HIS SHIT. even though, i seriously kept saying that i wasn't trying to say he was wrong, that was just my belief.
    because, as a motherfucking disclaimer, i don't care whether you are a Christian or not. you think what you fucking want to think and i will respect that.
    BUT I WOULD APPRECIATE THE SAME COURTESY.
    this guy, Brett, showed none. as a result, the following excerpts of conversation are rife with stupidity and i can't help but make fun of him while talking like a lolcat.


    -Brett I: You'll die with all the other assholes
    yes i will, in fact, die with all the other assholes....because everyone dies, even Christians. and i told him so.
    Brett I: and burn for years and years
    don't you mean forever?

    -Brett I: We'll see who's laughing when we both die
    i think even most Christians would disagree with you there. i don't think either of us will be laughing when we are both dead.  poor choice of words, Brett.

    -Brett I: Guess inteliigence can't buy you everything
    last time i checked, intelligence doesn't buy you anything. spelling "intelligence" wrong detracts from the point you are trying to make. 10 points from Gryffindor! er... Jesusfreak!

    -Brett I: Go back and live under your rock, where you don't have to live to see anything
    BECAUSE I, AS A CHRISTIAN, CAN SEE THINGS WHEN I AM DEAD! BWAHAHA!

    Brett I: LOL your beliefs are stupid
    say it with me, kids: DIVERSITY! \o/

    Brett I: Living is not merely existing
    right. because you still exist when you die. you just don't go to heaven. i definitely don't see your point.

    Brett I: yeah, you'd rather be blind and do what someone tells you to do
    yeah, you caught me. society's been SCREAMING at me to abandon popular religious beliefs. AND I DO IT. FOR THE LULZ, NO LESS.

    Brett I: There is no blind of faith

    Brett I: Faith is open
    Brett I: not blind
    i don't think open and blind are opposites. you can open the blinds... but i think that's the only connection between those two words (well that and you are openly blind)... also, i'm pretty sure faith is blind. because you can't see god. amirite?
    Brett I: You of little faith, must see to believe
    right.. because not having faith = not being blind. glad we see eye-to-eye on this one.

    Brett I: You couldnt see Santa either, but you believed
    there was evidence of Santa. also, i stopped believing in Santa when i was 5. what's your excuse?


    Brett I: Haha. Yeah, your skull is thick with air inside
    Brett I: I compare you to a basketball
    Brett I: Firm on the outside and air on the inside
    well, there's obviously no oxygen getting to your brain. also, i thank evolution for my thick skull. it protects my large brain. but you of little oxygen and soft skull are clearly superior, Brett.


    rocketdogzzz: i like cats. cats are pretty cool.
    Brett I: Then why don't you ask to become a cat
    Brett I: ask your "holy" power for it
    rocketdogzzz: ask who??
    rocketdogzzz: i don't have one
    Brett I: unholy*
    rocketdogzzz: i'm an atheist...
    Brett I: LOL
    rocketdogzzz: not a satanist
    so this is me asking: unholy powers, could you please make me a cat? could you make me an illiterate cat so i can't read this bullshit? that would be fucking ideal.


    Brett I: i can shove my foot up your ass instead
    spoken like a true good Christian. he also wished death on me a few times in this conversation. totally acceptable, as long as you believe in god.

    Brett I: It makes me feel good to insult people that have irrational belief systems
    me too, Brett. me too.
    Brett I: The least I can do is reduce them to trash
    because that is clearly what you've done here.

    rocketdogzzz: sorry for being unresponsive, this is just too goddamn funny, i need to put it in my blog where all my satanist friends can read it.
    Brett I: what are you putting on there
    rocketdogzzz: this conversation. it's fucking hilarious, man.


    Brett I: Mark my words
    random comment for dramatic effect! MARKED. IN MY SATANIST BLOGLOL.

  • as i went through this day, i grew increasingly more pissed off.
    had you seen me at the beginning of my day you wouldn't believe it could be possible... well, just kidding, kind of. in general, i wake up wanting to go right back to bed or die or something.

    the world is wearing on me.

    i am feeling very rebellious. and also kind of murderous.

    so this is what i learned in school today:

    spanish class 1:
    newswriting: it is totally ok to be an angry Mexican journalist with a mustache.
    newswriting lab: i will never be able to live up to any angry Mexican journalist expectations my adviser has for writing leads, which she likes to spell "lede"
    spanish class 2: having bushy eyebrows is ok too. pretty much, if you have a lot of facial hair, be a teacher.
    photography: a roundabout way to do nothing at all while pushing a LOT OF FUCKING BUTTONS in photoshop. you could push "print" and it'd end the same.
    speech: conformity is cool.

    or i guess i should say that's what my teachers tried to teach me today. needless to say i was like... ok...
    but yeah, my speech teacher is convinced i should pick lighter topics. (i mentioned the harlequin baby idea.. hm...) so she told me that i should try something about how the media makes women feel terrible (the media just makes me laugh) or how birth order affects you (i'm an only child. an only child of two crazy people, i am fucked up), the zodiac (no.), and dream interpretation (which i told her point blank is crap.)... yeah. and then we all talked about anxiety and how anxious people should really just adjust their reactions to things. which is also crap.

    and then she told us how type A personalities (me) are going to have heart attacks and i smiled the whole time.
    that'd be fabulous.

    i dunno. i'm having trouble hiding the darkest parts of myself right now.

    in addition, it makes me sad when people i care about (of which there are very few) ignore my text messages.

    this blog makes no fucking sense. so i'm going to shut up.



Thursday, 24 September 2009

  • so yesterday, i had to give my first speech in my speech class.

    it was to be an informative speech, 4-5 minutes, etc. we got to pick our own topic. and we were supposed to pick something that interests us.

    the other topics in my round: 2 musician biographies, one director biography, boats, recreational running, idioms, schools not funding music as much as sports, some national park, autism, nicaraguan sign language... and then there was me, talking about a disease where worms crawl in your eyes.

    so i would just like to say first that i am brilliant. for my introduction, i handed out gummy worms, waited till my audience had started eating them, and then proceeded to say "you've all been given gummy worms because it's probably the closest any of you will ever get to having a parasitic worm living under your skin." and everyone laughed.

    so, i proceeded to describe in detail how the worms crawl under people's skin and live there and it was quite funny really. so, i got downgraded for smiling throughout the whole thing and i'm pretty sure i'm the crazy girl in my class now. but i got an A- so that's ok.

    what's funny is, we got critiqued by two peers and the teacher. the teacher said "should you really be smiling while talking about this horrible disease??" and one of my peers said the same thing. what's funny is, the other person said "you should have more enthusiasm!" haha.


    FAMOUSBIRD*****: ugh eye lid twitching again. need to stop doing all that crack
    Rocketdog: you really should
    Rocketdog: meth is better
    FAMOUSBIRD*****: yeah? but then the crank bugs..
    Rocketdog: i don't even know what you're talking about anymore haha
    FAMOUSBIRD*****: haha
    FAMOUSBIRD*****: meth gives you the itchies
    Rocketdog: yuck
    Rocketdog: haha
    Rocketdog: how do you know?
    FAMOUSBIRD*****: you think bugs are crawling in ur skin
    Rocketdog: that's what my speech was about. i should have given them meth!
    Rocketdog: instead of gummy worms!


    so basically, next time i'm using meth.


    also, my next speech is a 4-5 minute with powerpoint. i'm thinking i need an awesome creepy follow up. harlequin babies?
