Alone we stand, Together we fall apart

not a victory march

Mon, 12 Nov 2007 04:33:39 GMT

It's absolutely silent at 5AM here in the 5th arrondisement of Paris. It's so quiet you can easily hear the electrical buzz of the streetlamps, and it's cold. I'm not sure what I'm doing right now. I said something tonight - "I just want to know the people I knew back then as much as I can." I know you have your own lives. I know you've changed... I know if you read back on things you wrote as long ago as I last wrote here, you would hardly recognize yourself, because that is exactly how I feel.

But I remember things. I guess I'm not used to the caffeine anymore, because 3/4 of a liter of soda later I'm shaking so much I can barely type this, and I have to leave for school in 3 hours. I remember standing outside, gripping a capri in my gloved fingers with someone in plain view should the lower school class come back from recess. In that coat I always wore, and UFOs, probably. I remember riding in the back of someone's blue car that was so carefully decorated with little nerd toys and how I really had nothing else to do. I remember yelling out for someone in a musty hallway, and hearing someone's voice call my name from the bedroom in the back, cigarette, pepsi, keyboard. I remember someone thought my singing voice was pretty, and it touched me, though I don't think I ever said so. I remember sitting in that one window that didn't trip the alarm in nothing but someone's red coat (not mine). I remember I gave up a habit for someone, on a very low sofa, in a tiny back room, where I wasn't even allowed to go. I remember looking through the blades of grass next to the curb of a house that used to be mine at someone's hand, shaking like mine do now in anticipation of touching my arm.

There's no need for us to talk. I just want you to know that I can remember, and that I do, often. I guess this is why old people are so miserable. It's bad enough you lose half of the people you knew because they die, but it's so much worse that you lose the other half to carelessness, bad judgement, and wrong decisions. I find myself apologizing all the time. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I wish I had something better, but I just don't know what else to say anymore. I'm sure I'm going to be berating myself for this tomorrow, but I'll manage that when the time comes. hmn... de ja vu.

This was a crazy weekend. Steve picked me up from school on friday night, and it took us super forever to get home, and then we slept at my house. On saturday we each kind of did our own thing for most of the day, and then we went to hang out with lana and jeff (hurray for teh double date thing. it was funny cuz i just talked to lana and steve just talked to jeff). I needed to watch a sci fi movie for my seminar, and I really wanted to watch gattaca so we went through a big discussion of how we were going to open an account, etc, and then about how we should get there. we decided to walk, which was the worst idea ever because it was really hot and humid, and when we finally got to the video store they didnt even have the movie. so then we were real sweaty with still no movie in hand. so then we went back to jeffs house and then to blockbuster, where gattaca was currently out. Soo~ we decided to rent Minority Report, and then all of us sat around and only half paid attention to that movie, but it was okay because me and steve actually kind of watched the end and it suck-didly-ucked. So then we watched the copy of gattaca that jeff had all along (lol), but since i couldnt stay in the god forsaken land of cats any longer we went to my house and tried to watch it there and my parents said no so i just took my tv. we then watched it in jeffs backyard. yesss.

SOOO after hanging around and being real lazy all day me and steve finally decided to head home last night around 7. we were going along just fine, until a car in front of us stopped short, and steve went careening into the back of their car. yeah, again on the way to do me a favor. im a big giant piece of bad luck. so we did all the info exchange shit and talked to the cop, and no one said "hey man, dont drive that thing aaaanywhere, so we decided to avoid some parental trouble, we'd go on to bryn mawr and steve would sort it out in the morning. biiig mistake. to make a long story short, after a winding trail of getting lost, noticing the car was smoking, stopping at a church for help, and finally calling the police, we ended up talking to this cop who was all "when I was 20 I was living n my own abroad, my own apartment, own car. I didn't have to answer to my parents." and later "I think everything happens for a reason" and shit. It was a very surreal night, but it ended up changing the way Steve saw things i think. I'm the luckiest girl in the world to have him. I just thought id point that out.
So yeah, lots of craziness to spen the dreary week sorting out in my brain. now time for class.

otakon stuffs

Sun, 20 Jul 2003 19:01:25 GMT

The following people have confirmed that they will be attending otakon and staying in my group's rooms:

1. Rachel
2. Adam
3. Diana
4. Becky
5. Reuben
6. James
7. Matt Burt
8. Dom
9. Lana
10. Tom
11. Jason
12. Sarah

there may be one more person joining Matt Burt's crew, in which case you will all get some money back at the convention. THE PRICE OF THE HOTEL ROOM IS $47.50, NO EXCEPTIONS. If you do not pay by August the first(!!!1) and have not been allowed special permission from me to delay payment, not only will you be discluded from the room, but your name will be posted in public forum as a non payer. I suggest you do not make everyone angry with you, and you get your money in on time. Otherwise the wrath of the hotel god (aka racho) will be upon you.

Payment may be made in cash or by a check made out to my mother, Carolyn Nachmias. I look forward to seeing all your smiling faces as you hand me your dollars.

love and kisses for all!

You represent... desire.
You sure are motivated. You have a definite knack
for getting what you want. You always put your
own interests before those of others, and you
almost always find youself being satisfied.
Though you have determination, try some
compassion. Putting others first occassionally
can get you even more satisfying relationships.

What feeling do you represent?
