I know your name is really Brian, but I think you're a Simon.<br />Anyway.<br /><br />Look pal, I'm not going to be able to make it your show next week. I know that we agreed that we'd finally meet and fall in love and elope to Venezuela and all, but it's just not a good time for me. I thought that I would have people to go with to meet you but I don't. And we both know how I feel about strangers. Please don't be too upset. You're still my shining star. You still my boo and all that, I just don't think it's the best time to meet. Besides, I got zits. Well, just one. <br />Either way, I don't think we can meet just yet and you're still the love of my life so don't get it twisted.<br /><br /><br />In other news, I am not going to the buckethead show because I don't have any money. I am going to see girl talk though. My grandma is coming down soon. I can't wait. I hope she flicks someone off. I've always wanted to see her give someone the dirty bird.<br /><br />I can hear my neighbors either moving furniture or having sex. Maybe doing both. Funshine keeps meowing. It's just another day at the pines.<br /><br /><br />I really just don't know what's going to happen if Obama loses. I think I'm going to get the hello operator out of the states for a term or two. Remember that song, "that just my baby daddy"? well, i think that he should have them record "that just my barack obama" and he could dance out behind curtains and shit before speeches and make heads of state do the tootsie roll and butterfly to his song. Everyone's gotta have a song. <br /><br /><br />god i'm a genius. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:watashiwashe:25964 2008-09-14T04:09:35Z 2008-09-14T04:09:35Z went to my first braves game the other day.<br />went to my first and only braves game the other day.<br /><br />almost got arrested. was rocking some sweet sweet handcuffs for over and hour while an officer berated me and did the opposite of helping me. fun times. thank you officer caca face martin.<br /><br /><br />i really don't understand how things went so terribly wrong. it was bar none one of the worst nights of my life. i don't wish anyone such a shit time. from the clicking of the cuffs to that asshole trying to jump into the car getting my friend's phone back. heavy metal these days ain't what it used to be. <br /><br />on with the good:<br /><br />last night was a breath of fresh air. jess came down and we had non stop, hold onto your butt cheeks cos the night's gonna rock your ass kinda night. had an earl burger for the first time. i died and went to heaven. i wish i had been alone at home so i could bury my face in it and run around the house dancing and hula hooping. it was that good. everywhere we went last night we were surrounded by friends high fiving and hugging like it was fifth grade field day. everyone was in such great moods. it was one of those nights where you run into everyone you've ever met and wanted to see hang out in one place and get along. and it happened. AND THE LOVE OF MY LIFE RETURNED TO ME. ryan vaughn, my dear, my darling. my heart of hearts came to visit me in a bar and angels with their harps and ukuleles played til their fingers bled for us. it was perfect. all of it.<br />talked about star wars, we toasted vodka to the best of us, watched perfect hair forever, i saw my dear victoria. and i was reunited with my ryan. and it felt so good.<br /><br />the best part about this weekend is that the phone james gave me has a pedometer on it and so far today i have walked 11,316 steps. god, i love technology. and kitty.<br />i don't love mint juleps though. or police officers named martin.<br />but i do like the show named martin.<br />and i also like the movie named police academy.<br /><br /><br />what's up with the bankhead bounce urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:watashiwashe:25551 2008-08-27T17:19:40Z 2008-08-27T17:54:58Z Hello. It's me again.<br />It's been a long long while.<br /><br /><br />How ya doin? How ya been? The wife and kiddies?<br />Good, good. Glad to hear they're well.<br />Yeah, I did hear about that. Sorry I didn't write. You know how things are sometimes.<br />You look good, LJ. Two years is time enough to talk about different things, eh?<br /><br />Me? What brings me back here? <br />Well, I have a friend who moved away from Atlanta and I told him I'd write in this for him.<br />No, it's not cheesy LJ, it's sweet. Don't laugh, you'd do it to for a friend. <br /><br />Funny, over two years and I'm writing again on a Wednesday. It's rainy. It's been rainy since Sunday. My car flooded the other day. It smells like hot cat piss and dirt. <br /><br /><br />My fingers are having a hard time finding the home keys to type this. <br />I don't know what to type.<br />I have a crush on my country ass married(?) neighbor. I don't understand a motherfucking word he says but I love it. It's like a game for me. Is he asking me a question about zucchini squash or did he just say nice weather inn'it? I DON'T KNOW! <br /><br />I'm only writing in this for Chris so when you read this just imagine it's you instead. <br />For example:<br />I have a hard time sitting still in your apartment now. I text message, go outside, get antsy pantsy and can't stay for long. My chair isn't as comfortable as before. It kinda smells like garbage a little.<br />That was meant for Chris, but if you're not Chris and you read that, I'd like for you to pretend I'm talking to you. That way we can be as creepy as we wanna be....<br /><br /><br />Clint really like PJ Harvey. He likes blaring her cat screaming/drowing/being tazered music late at night. There's one song in particular that makes me want to break everything in the apartment. The first time I heard it I laughed out loud because I didn't think it was real. It is. Unfortunately.<br /><br /><br />I don't get anymore texts telling me to ship anything. It's the pits. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:watashiwashe:25322 2006-06-06T04:41:53Z 2006-06-06T04:41:53Z i love netflix. i can't imagine my life without it.<br />i just like updating my queue.<br />i've been listening to the spinto band all day today. today is wednesday.<br /><br /><br />i haven't been sleeping well lately.<br /><br />i've started writing.<br />i already know that i'm probably not going to finish it on a monday.<br />monday is always a slow start.<br /><br />i'm getting a car soon. i can feel it in my bones.<br /><br />sometimes i miss a lot of people.<br /><br />i like walking home until i have to cross the street. then i wish i had roller skates to go super sonic jet speed fast.<br /><br />why does everyone keep talking about gnarles barkley?<br /><br />i'm writing people back.<br />grace, i miss you and love you and your letter is taking a long time to write because there's a lot to say. i hope you are well and i swear i'm sending it soon. thank you for telling me how australia smells. i appreciate you.<br /><br />my grandmother is coming next saturday. i'm so fucking excited that at times i want to scream and kick my legs.<br /><br />THE WORLD CUP STARTS FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!<br />i know that people are excited but they just don't want to tell me. i know it because i can feel it in my bones. people are secretly excited but they don't want to ruin my level of excitement by being overly excited. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:watashiwashe:24954 2006-04-21T19:52:18Z 2006-04-21T19:52:18Z we got the rest of the second season of battlestar galactica in the mail.<br />i am digustingly excited. disgustingly. ly.<br /><br />today i had a crazy day at the florist. francis should really calm the fuck down sometimes.<br /><br />i talked it over and i strongly feel that the orchid is my favorite flower now. tulips and i just don't see eye to eye anymore. i will always love you, but i'm not in love with you.<br />it's me, not you. i promise nothing will change. we can still be friends. you're still invited to the barbeque.<br /><br /><br />since we have jared's computer i have been going on myspace, imdb, and the radiohead websites quite frequently. i feel this summer will be astronomically outstanding due to the fact that radiohead's new cd will come out at the start of it. i think it will set the mood for the summer. <br />and hopefully trips will be taken. cars will be had. music will be played. raccoon parties will be attended. my left shoe will once again fit.<br /><br />i have a new fan in my room that takes up half the ceiling. it has to be seen to be believed.<br /><br />i still don't know how to do the electric slide, and the more i think about it, kevin costner shouldn't be allowed to make another film. i mean, okay, everyone liked dances with wolves. kevin costner, fine, you did a good job with that one. but to honestly think someone, that anyone would want to see the postman...give me a break. and what's more, to put tom "free falling" petty in it!!! why! and why tom! did you sit down with the movie company and say "okay, fellas, i know it's a bigger waste of money than waterworld, but i know how we're gonna save it. TOM PETTY". you should know better than to drag poor harmless tom into your shit storm. and tom, what's wrong with you! you're not an idiot. you write nice songs. you have crazy string cheese hair,

/><br />victoria's mom took us to lunch in her convertible today. it was so fun not having a roof. we listened to the dixie chicks and rod stewart. i thought my glasses were going to fly off of my head but i was brave about it. i bet it's wonderful on an empty highway with stars falling around you.<br /><br />went to the park today. saw lots of funny people. my favorite was the bald husband and wife on the bicycle built for two. if i ever learn how to ride a bike, and if i'm lucky enough to get married, i'm going to make my husband get one and we are going to ride our fat asses around everywhere on it. and rose petals would fall wherever our tires met the ground and people would be so jealous that they would run after us and make the scrushed face and cry alaska tears and throw their feces because they'd want what we've got. love and amazing transport.<br /><br />i talked to grace!!!!! on the phone friday! she sounded wonderful and static free. i asked her lots of stupid questions about what the trees look like and how australia smells. she was kind enough to answer them without laughing at me. i miss her.<br /><br />rika sent me a chain email. it's the first one i

god. we would get so many almond joy candy bars.<br /><br /><br />today at work i heard a country song that made me laugh inside and then a customer came up and i ended up spitting on myself because i couldn't keep my laughter in anymore because i pictured him singing it. then later on in the day, i sang the entire score from west side story to myself and i thought about making a shirt that says "sharks stink" but then realized that that is a bad idea, and i'll never have friends if i do that....but in my mind i sang and skipped and snapped my fingers for a good hour and a half. <br /><br />sometimes i wish that i could have something hooked up to my mind just for a day and i could show people what i really think and how i waste hours singing and talking and laughing to myself. but the mind hookup contraption would have to have wheels because i sometimes walk like my ass is on fire and i have a flight to catch.<br /><br />the other day i wanted to be old and married for five minutes just to sit at a table with my crazy wrinkly assed husband so i could write him a note and draw a big heart and doves and roses and smileys on the envelope and in the inside write "please pass the grey poupon" and laugh when he read it because we would never keep that smelly shit in the house. <br /><br /><br />there's this program on pubic television this week called, Rx for Survival: A Global Health Challange. fucking jaw-dropping work. i am left with quite a few things to chew on after watching tonight's segments. the issue of using ddt again to fight malaria makes me want to study about it and learn exactly what can come out of it. from what i understand, i think under very controlled situations it will certainly help. the program has me intrigued, and now i need to learn more on the information provided and see what i can do to change things.<br /><br />the gaaang urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:watashiwashe:23187 2005-10-13T02:43:16Z 2005-10-13T02:43:16Z this entire post is about u2.<br /><br /><br /><br />okay, i've listened to u2 exclusively this week. i told jess the other day that i forget that they're actually a real band and then i listen to them and remember that not only are they real, but they're alive and they tour and oh my god we're going to see them next month.<br /><br />then i got on the website and looked to see what kind of acts they had set up as openers. let's see. dashboard confessional, damien marley, PATTI SMITH, ARCADE FIRE, damn kanye west. kanye west. shenise likes kanye west. they haven't announced who's opening in atlanta yet. at this point in time, vanilla ice could roll around onstage and sing tony bennett songs for five hours and i would still go ape fucking shit ass insane.<br />i honestly don't know what i'm going to do. i'm afraid my heart would explode as soon as larry mullen jr, adam clayton, the edge, and bono pranced across the stage for the big entrance.<br />haha, wouldn't it be funny if some old atlanta act opened? like kriss kross or da brat. hahaha. <br /><br />so what i've been imagining is that michael stipe would sing a few numbers, outkast would play a few hits, elton john would sing backing vocals on "hey ya" then the show would begin. and the atlanta symphony orchestra would play when they sang "one" and then they would invite a huge choir onstage to sing "i still haven't found what i'm looking for" like on the rattle and hum dvd. then u2 would play every song ever recorded to us. and bono would cry. and i would cry. and jess would cry. and jennifer and lisa would cry in their wedding dresses. and they'll play "kite" and they'll play "all i want is you" for the ending, and "gloria" for the encore.<br />and then there would be world peace.

one day i looked around and realized that i'm not as angry. and it's okay to speak, because someone will actually listen. and now i trust people. and i laugh at every chance i get. and i have friends. really really great ones. the kind of friends everyone wishes they had. but i've actually got them. and i can talk to them whenever i like. and they like me back. and sometimes i forget how much i need them, and then a monday in october happens and i'm reminded of how lucky i am. i wish i could carry all of them with me in my pocket and we could go through the day laughing and fighting about whether the guy from my chemical romance was wearing a long sleeve or short sleeve shirt.<br />and then we'd watch a movie that only rika knows about, and eat dinner at big joy and then go dance to

BUT DON'T FIGHT IN IT. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:watashiwashe:20445 2005-08-23T07:00:38Z 2005-08-23T07:00:38Z oh my god so let me tell you the story of the century.<br /><br /><br />so when i came home a few minutes ago, i slightly opened the door and i thought i saw a balloon. and i got excited out of my eyelids so i closed the door and did a little stomp dance on the step thinking my mother and brother had planned an impromptu skallywag of a party for me because i'm awesome and they just realized it today, so they wanted to celebrate me. and then i opened the door again, but this time with strength that would make popeye blush. and i did a little leap step when i came into the house, and BAM!!!!! there wasn't a damn thing waiting for me. it was a stupid elephant or the shadow of an elephant or something involving an elephant that tricked me into thinking i was walking into a 2am surprise "thanks for being super cool like old school" party.<br /><br />i got tricked like april fools.<br /><br /><br /><br />i talked to God on my cell phone on the way home tonight.<br />we caught up on so much stuff. sometimes i forget how easy it is to pick up a phone and call a brother every once in a while.<br />and it's pretty sweet that we get to talk for free. <br />mobile to mobile is amazing. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:watashiwashe:20063 2005-08-12T15:33:00Z 2005-08-12T15:39:15Z i think i'm setting myself up for a big stinking waste of an afternoon coupled with the biggest letdown in the history of the galaxy. well, at least i'll get a free lunch out of it.<br />oh...no...wait...TINSTAAFL......i guess the biting sarcasm and over extended "moments of reflection" will be payment enough for my subpar meal.<br /><br />oh, stop being so damn dramatic. you should never play worst case scenario by yourself. you lose it all before you get out of the gate. <br /><br />when you say subpar out loud, do you suddenly think of bolivia? come on, i'm not the only one.<br /><br /><br />i need a new voicemail message.<br />i need that like i need a kick in the head, OKAY!!!!
