5:12 am	so yes. i'm pulling another all-nighter. not good for my sleeping pattern, but they're kind of exciting. there hasn't been any one else in the computer lab for about two hours now. this one older lady with lots of warts was in here with me. i was alone with her behind me for about two hours. I kept imagining she was going to get out a butcher knife and chase me through C-club. I almost wish something like that would've happened. It would've made for a good story. I thought about interviewing her for my story that's due at 11am, but thought she might hate my curiosity. I did notice that she printed out a bunch of articles on Judaism. I was printing out some story comments and gave her one of her articles, "Is this yours?" "Well...yes, thanks." Oh, she's not so bad. Then I noticed she had about 500 other pages, and I only gave her the one. She probably thought it was funny that I only gave her the one page. Oh well. I glanced at her computer screen and it said, MIT Class of 1959 Roster. Hmmmm. This lady's really interesting. Either she's a member of the class of 1959 or she's looking up a long lost love from the class of 1959 or she's stalking someone from the class of 1959 or she has an affinity for the year 1959 or for MIT or...well, I could go on for days. Then she left. And I missed my chance on MIT 1959 Jewish article lovin' lady. Then some punk dude came in to take her place and said: "I thought I'd be the only idiot up at this hour." I didn't hear him the first time. "I said, I thought I'd be the only idiot up at this hour." That dude just called me an idiot. He needs some sleep. "No, there's me too." I didn't feel like flirting with the dude who called me an idiot. I may be an idiot, but he doesn't even know me. Unfair. "Sorry to hear that," he said. Sorry to hear that I was still awake or that I'm an idiot? I over-analyze too much, this is a Butler boy for pete's sake! Who's the pete in pete's sake anyways? For Bill's sake...now that's a name I can stick to...like glue...alright, back to my homework...just thought this would get my juices wheels rockers toothpaste (what the hell?) moving!

4:26 pm	mike n' ikes n' stuff i'm at work and bored so i'll write in my journal. here are some thoughts of the day: - i like all mike n' ike flavors except for the green. i don't like green candy in general, with the exception of those caramel apple pops. - nice old men make me happy. - if you let your hair get really greasy, and then wash it, your hair will thank you...especially if you have curly hair, the results are amazing...defined, soft curls, yes. - always wear socks with sneakers, especially converses because you'll get blisters and bloody shins that make you limp. - michelle just sang "America the Beautiful" at work. Randomness makes me smile. - my bosses give me free food even when I don't ask for it. - i should shower more often because i always feel better afterwards...but then again, it's a trade-off to having healthy hair. - the box office is so quiet when Stacy isn't here...but I like Stacy; she's like my surrogate mother. - i think i may run to broadripple after work today for some exercise. - i have lots of homework on wednesday nights/thursday mornings. - i need to sleep more. - i start too many sentences with "i." it's pretty selfish. - it would be fun to dog sit. - it would be fun to baby-sit...i miss babysitting. - touching your eyebrows is bad because you have to keep plucking them...mine are getting smaller and smaller. i should let them grow out. - i probably need a hair cut, but i kind of like the hippy thing going on with my mane. - i smell good today. - i have clean clothes. - i need to brush my teeth because i ate too much candy today. - we need to have a beatles theme party when tarah comes back from England this spring. - today is a calm day, and that's...a relief. - i like a good, gentle breeze. - all you need is love. love is all you need. have a good day. love, allie Current Mood: peaceful Current Music: All You Need Is Love (4 Comments |Comment on this)

3:29 am	yeah right uh huh i'm in the computer lab, and i think i have add. wait, i know i have add. that looks like i just wrote add. I mean A.D.D. I think I might have a mild case of autism, too. Hmmmmmm. I'm doing my playwriting homework and it's boring me to tears. i'm not crying, but i want to. I wish someone would come find me here. spin me around in my swivel chair. then make passionate love to me. there are only two other guys in the computer lab and they're facing the other direction, so no one would see. i think they're listening to music too, so they would'nt hear the animal-like noises. i keep looking out the window of the lab hoping that someone will dash down the stairs and take me on an adventure. i think i deserve one. maybe i don't. oh man, one of the boys just walked past me and looked at what i was writing. i looked back at him, and he gave me some weird arched eyebrow look. oh, go do your spread sheet, weiner. urgggh. okay, back to work. back to work. i want to run away and be a taxi driver. or maybe an exotic dancer in New Mexico. i think my mom might go nuts, but what's new, right? good morning...i probably won't sleep at all tonight. allieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Current Mood: anxious Current Music: Know Your Onion!

2:06 am	shits and giggles i have a stamp on my hand that looks like half of a celtic cross. i had fun tonight without any stupid drama. i went to bill's, the bar i went to every thursday this entire summer, with Lindsey. i picked her up at her apartment, and met her new boyfriend, Jim. Nice guy. Curly hair. I approve. so we went to bill's and she worked at the bar getting people cups and popcorn. bill asked me if i wanted to do a dance off with a guy dressed up in a robot suit. sure, i said. so i did the dance off on stage, but ultimately the robot got the most applause. oh well. next time i'll wear my panda mask. costumes are a give in no matter how well you dance. lindsey's birthday is tomorrow. she'll be 21. she's having a party at her apartment. it will be fun. she said i can start a dance party as long as i get people to dance, and it's not just me. i don't think i'll have trouble instigating that. oh my oh my oh my oh my. my older sis mary and i bonded tonight like normal. she told me her doubts about her proposal and about her fling with tony. she still is on edge about the whole wedding, but it's more or less her just feeling sorry for tony. she and brian will be fine, i'm convinced. he's just had trouble opening up to her and expressing his feelings. now he knows it's vital for their relationship. if only other boys could learn that simple thing sooner and just TALK!!!!!!!!!!!!! goodness sakes. communication is all ya need. and love too, oh goodness love. i'm drunk. goodnight.

8:41 pm	I had the whole house to myself when I came home from work today. I cleaned up, called my sister while making spaghetti. I felt like a home maker lady. I turned on of the mixes from Cara's birthday party, and danced like crazy. I left the front door open, and a black teen age boy came to the door. I was freaked out, and he laughed at me. "Want to buy some Snickers or Reeses for my fundraiser, m'am?" "Uhhh, how much?" "Six dollars?" "Six bucks?" "Yes, six dollars." "Sweet!" So I bought some Snickers from one of those outreach program things too. Strike two. Wow, I am living in a house. I put the Snickers in the freezer, and thought how much I'm like my Dad. I played "Can't Keep it In," and did a tribute dance for him. Current Mood: content Current Music: Can't Keep It In, Cat Stevens (1 Comment |Comment on this)

8:16 pm	family and co. I'm ecstatic to go home. I can't wait. I don't leave until September 24th for my Dad's birthday, but nonetheless....I CAN'T WAIT! I want to see my family so badly. I miss my sisters. Every day my Mom and Mary update me with the wedding planning. She already knows who's going to play at the wedding (our high school music teacher, Mr. Schweitzer), and she has the reception hall booked (Casa Loma ballroom--the dance floor is huge, so yeah, I'm psyched). I just wish I could be there. I don't think I'd actually help, Mary's much more particular and girly than I am, but I'd like to be there to laugh with her. She told me that she's looking at brown dresses for the bridesmaids? Yeah, I know. She said they're a chocolate brown though, so I'm sure they'll look okay. I trust Mary. (I told her I'd just wear a blouse). I talked to Mary's new fiance, (that sounds so weird to call him that)Brian, online the other day. It was awkward talking to him. He knows how I feel about the whole situation. How selfish he was being with Mary. How Mary needed to give him an ultimatum, or she'd break everything off and be with Tony. I almost wish she did. I just hope everything works out for them. He kept reiterating how much he loved her. "I love your sister alot." "I hope so," I replied. It's like he has to convince me that he won't break her heart. I'm really protective of Mary because she's particularly naive. Not that I'm not, but she (like many people in my family) have trouble standing up for ourselves. We put other peoples' happiness on the forefront, and forget about our own. I'm happy for her; I just hope she made the right decision. Jane sounds so old. My younger sister is only sixteen, but each day I talk to her I'm constantly reminded how immature I am. She is so together. I'm sure she's helping Mary and Mom out too. Oh, Jane. You future business woman. I hope she's read that book Mom bought her: "See Jane Win." Oh, Jane. There's so much expected out of her. My Dad is doing well, as far as Mom says. He's helping restore power in Louisiana. I'm really proud of him for volunteering, but it's scary for him to be gone. I'm not even home, but I worry about him being over there. He never goes out of town with his work, so two weeks is a lot to take in, especially for my Mom. She sounds incredibly sane though, to my surprise. With Grandma just recovering, Dad being gone, working, and helping Mary plan the wedding (July 15th is the date, by the way)Mom has kept her cool. It'll be nice when Dad comes home. As for me...oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh...no, nothing that dramatic. I don't want to talk about myself right now. I feel like I'm in a rut though, and I need something dramatic to happen to re-inspire me. Oh Gods, look upon me, and STRIKE!

9:23 pm	I want to jump on an airplane and run away. I want to go some far off place and run around, get sweaty, then jump into cool water. I'm bored. I'm bored. I'm bored. I'm sick of talking to boring people with boring lives and boring hair cuts. I want to strip naked, cover myself in mud, and speak in tongues. I want to act like animals. I want to bite the flesh out of life. I want to love so hard that the smell of cotton candy emanates from my skin. I want to douse my body in french fry oil and sit in the sun. I want to laugh til I throw up. I want to ship all my annoynaces in a tight box, lock them up, and throw them into the Atlantic Ocean. Then they'll drown, I'll be fresh, and everything will be a-okay. I'll fart every smell in the book, and after all the gas is out, I'll take a long, hot shower. Lather my body in fresh fruits and Zest fully clean soap, and sing Kelly Clarkson's "Since You've Been Gone," while showering. Get out of the shower, and dry my body off. Put on Cocoa butter lotion on all the parts, some laundry fresh pajamas, read about the First Wives, then fall asleep. Hair still wet, I hope to wake up to defined, natural curls. None of this monkey business. Current Mood: annoyed Current Music: Golden Slumbers (1 Comment |Comment on this)

6:33 pm	cds. running. bombs. i've become a hard core runner. Well, by my standards at least. I'm addicted. Running is my high. Today while babysitting, I couldn't wait to come home so I could run at 7:00. It's my new thing. I'm also addicted to buying C.D.s. I couldn't wait to leave babysitting because I wanted to buy a Kinks C.D. The songs "Lola" and "Victoria" had been in my head all day, and I needed to hear them in the C.D. player. Sadly though, "Victoria" wasn't on the C.D. I bought. Guess I just have to go on another C.D. spree. I should be saving more for Ireland. Technically I have enough, but if I want to buy anything there I'll need more. I also have to replenish my savings account since everything I earned is going towards my plane ticket. Oh the joys of being a young adult. As I was writing about all this petty, mundane things, I realized what a brat I am. Here I am talking about C.D.s and running, when just today about 40 people were killed, and many more injured in the London bombings. I was driving in the car this morning, heard the news on the radio, and I started crying. I didn't cry when 9/11 happened in my own country, so why would cry for London? I'm not sure if it was a sympathy cry, or just a frightened cry. I'm traveling with my family to Ireland in two weeks, and the thought of terrorists creeps me out. And it's not just London that's getting the explosions, in March it was Madrid, another place I hope to visit soon. And Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Indonesia, and Kenya. The attacks are ubiquitous. And that scares the shit out of me. I normally just shrug at these types of things, but not now. I think it all goes back to babysitting again. I've become a more materal figure this summer as I've been watching children all day. I've become more emotional and sympathetic towards events and people, whereas I'd normally just look away and try to find something to smile about. Reality bites. I wonder if that has a good soundtrack? allie Current Mood: contemplative Current Music: Needle in the Hay (2 Comments |Comment on this)

11:48 am	scratch my head itches like crazy. there's a bump on it, so far it's not flaky so I'm eliminating dandruff for now. Hopefully no lice. It smells great though, like newborn baby head. Maybe the result of too much babysitting. I babysit almost everday. I feel guilty about my job. I mean, moms aren't paid by the government to spend time with their children, so why am I? Do I have a real job? I lay about at pools, make some peanut butter sandwiches, watch movies, play hide-and-go-seek, and then proceed to get 8-10 dollars an hour. Is that fair? I don't know, but right now it's my only option. This weekend, well Saturday morning to Sunday morning, I'm babysitting Samuel and Sarah. Their parents are going to the lake for the weekend, and I'm in charge. I've never been in charge of kids for this long, and I'm kind of scared. I'm so paranoid of night time. Whenever I babysit at night, I compulsively lock the doors, make sure they're locked multiple times, check on the kids, (and if I'm watching a baby, I make sure she's breathing), leave all the lights on, aaaaaaaaah, i'm a freak! So now, I have to sleep over, all by myself. I think I'll ask Sarah, a five-year-old, to keep me company. She'll think I'm helping her out, when really it's me she's doing the favor. Maybe I should start taking sleeping pills? Hmmmmmm....... Current Mood: distressed Current Music: P2 Vatican Blues (Last Saturday Night) (Comment on this)

4:43 pm	POO! i was pooing in the bathroom today. All of the sudden, my evil sweet mate, Tara, not my roomie the other one, walked in on me. She made this awful face like she had just seen a cow pie on my forehead. I said, "Whoopsie!" She shut the door, all flustered, and ran away. She even ran out of her room because I heard the door slam. It's just a bit of poo! What's your problem? Oh man. Oh poo. Anyone have any fun poo stories? I had to change Dustin Minnick's diaper last weekend. It was the biggest diaper ever, so big it exploded. I don't mind changing diapers though.

7:38 pm	lindsey coco lindsey coco is this random girl who called tarah awhile ago to ask for a threesome. Tarah's ex-boyfriend Jason put lindsey coco up to the phone call. They wanted a threesome pretty bad, I guess. Tarah and I laughed about it for about nine hours. I mean, just listen to that name: Lindsey Coco, Lindsey Coco, Lindsey Coco...isn't that ridiculous? It's more funny than the fact that she asked for a threesome. The name is like porn star city. I suggest the name to anyone who's considering becoming a porn star.

1:37 pm	bye bye madame blue Last night a group of friends got together to mourn the death of a loved one, Madame Blue. Madame Blue was a shiney, stellar, glittering water fountain. Well not a real water fountain, but a car. A Ford Escort to be exact. The mourners included: Tarah (in kimono), Me (in scented blue trash bag), Zach (in my Stl Cardinals hat), Susan (in bright Flintstone's costume), Paula (in Florida housewife clothes), and our suite mate/preacher, Emily, clad in a folded Japanese newspaper hat al la Tarah. We prayed, we sang as I strummed Beatles' songs passing lines around changing the lyrics to fit for Madame, and we paraded around campus celebrating her life. We received mixed responses: some people stared blankly, some wanted our numbers in case their cars died and they needed celebrants, some laughed, some forced a smirk, and some chose not to even make eye contact. But we could careless. This was Tarah's baby. And it's dead. Now Madame Blue can rest in peace safely in Junkyard Heaven. The ceremony helped Tarah release tension she's built up recently too. I was afraid she was going to eat me after the Roots concert. She was one unhappy girl scout. But it was all because she hadn't had the proper mourning process. She's fine now. And she has her parents' navy blue Oldsmobile now. Which I think has a great personality of her own. We just have to find her a name. Any suggestions?

6:29 pm	litter Katie took me on an adventure today. Although I got some pretzel samples, lemonade, a bracelet watch, a bikini, and slip n' slide, what was by far the best was the car ride. Katie witnessed someone throwing trash out their window: "They littered!" she exclaimed. I just nodded expecting we'd keep riding along. But Katie surprised me as she opened the car door, slammed it shut, and walked up to the green Chevy blazer while we were at a stoplight. She picked up the receipt, and gave it back to the female driver saying, "Did you know you dropped this?" The lady was just as surprised, even though we knew she intentionally littered, and responded, "Ohhh, noooo, thank you." Katie saved the day, and made me laugh alot. She called herself Captain Planet. It was as if she flew from out of the sky to keep the world a beautiful place. That lady will never litter again because of Katie.

You'd think I'd learn after twenty years to wash the make-up off my face before bed. You'd think I'd learn after twenty years not to eat my room mate's food. You'd think I'd learn after twenty years that I shouldn't overanalyze boys. You'd think I'd learn after twenty years that I should not overanalyze life so much. You think I'd learn after twenty years how to make my feet smell better. You'd think I'd learn after twenty years that 8+6=14 without counting on my fingers. You'd think I'd learn how to give correct change at the box office without sneaking the computer calculator for help. You'd think I'd learn after twenty years how to fully cook meat without making my family sick. You'd think I'd learn after twenty years that touching my eyebrows only makes the hairs curly and they stick out more. You'd think I'd learn after twenty years to cut my toenails when they curl over. You'd think I'd learn after twenty years not to act out on every impulse. You'd think I'd learn after twenty years that smiling can't save me in every situation.

You'd think I'd learn after twenty years that I don't need a boyfriend. You'd think I'd learn after twenty years that procrastination's a bitch. You'd think I'd learn after twenty years to quit obsessing over everything. You'd think I'd learn after twenty years that I'm only twenty, and still have so much more to learn.
