"you're my best friend and i love you"/last post of the year i turned seventeen.

let's break it down.

this year i:
applied to
college
kongress bundestag
waldsee
played guitar until my fingers hurt really badly
went to chicago without adult supervision
hung out a lot with maureen and kari

next year i:
will be somewhere else
will be a full fledged counselor
will turn eighteen

my resolution is to always call kari and maureen both instead of using one as a messenger, play guitar six days a week (except during finals), make another [mean] zine*, and grow another big HONKING eggplant!


happy new year,
cordelia

*the mean zine had only one copy of the first issue, distributed to thomas wiltzius, it was mostly about how i grew an eggplant and then ate it.

wha happened to the time?

when i try to play my guitar after not playing for a few days i feel like a fourteen year old boy trying to dance with a beautiful professional dancer. to remedy this, i practiced for an hour and am now wondering if that's why one of my pinkies is crooked. whenever i type pinky, i think of Davy from Black Left Pinky and how I misstyped his band, and didn't like them then, but think they're pretty good now. Google them.

find some beautiful place to get lost

today i found an envelope, and went on the best scavenger hunt ever. it was so excellent and ended in cafe kopi where i had lemonade. or, tried to have. it tasted sort of like... dough? i guess that's what i get for ordering summer drinks in december.

now that my hair's short
i flip it around just to
feel it on my neck.

agur.

kaixo neskak:

i neglected to discuss the small electrical fire that occured in my room recently. my dad, my cat and i were chillin in my room. i decided that i needed to charge my cell phone, so i went to unplug my humidifier.
here's what happenned
humidifier: CHSSK TSCHHHHK TSCKKKKK (as cord sparks and is firey)
me: holy shit.
my dad: oh my!
fortunately, the fire died out and the faulty humidifier was banished to the land of the garbage/or maybe the basement.
the good news is that now i have a very schnazzy humidifier that has this glowing light on it and is see-through! the bad news is that, despite being really beautiful, this new humidifier is very noisy.

agur, mutilak

boring and self-absorbed:

so i admit, occasionally, i read my own blog. just to remember how i was feeling, what was going on, you know. and sometimes in retrospect, i feel completely the opposite emotion about something than i did when posting. so imagine my surprise when, while reading june 4, 2005, i burst out laughing about my guinea pig dying. whoo!
so yesterday i hatched a plan to not shower until i had finished my seminar paper. when met with less than enthusiasm by batia and tom, i decided not to follow through. but i mean, if all i am doing is listening to music, tending to alice and working on my paper, then why do i need to shower? i mean, mr. sutton went for over ten days once. that said, i still haven't showered, not because i mean not to, simply because i haven't gotten around to it yet.
yes:
i do realize that this is absolutely disgarsting
no:
that is not going to keep me from telling you.

my history paper is progressing, but slowly and it's hard to organize.

this punk boy

for the addictxxx:

i think i have reached the state of tiredness known as euphoria.
the boy i like told me i had an "acute sense for people" (yessss)
i found the song i like from the waldsee mp3s ("ein kompliment" by sportfreunde stiller, if you're wondering)
i wrote an entire page of world since 1945 paper without opening my only source! (quadruple yes!)
i miss swimming, but lifting weights like a mad woman gives me the endorphins i need to succeed.
doug gave eleanor and i a tricep demo for a long time and then we lifted til it burned!
even though i have 6 projects for the next three days, i am totally going to survive this week, if only by the skin of my teeth! (pssst: teeth dont have skin! they are actually the only bone without a periosteum*)

clg

*i thought i remembered this word from my days as a science olympiad guru, but just to make sure i googled it. turns out that i was remembering perineum, aka the stretch of skin between the anus and whatever you have AKA no man's land AKA the wrong word. thank goodness i googled it!

knowing nothing in life but to be legit.

since when are all my teachers allowed to have projects due the same week? i know it's bad because my study "break" is about to be calc. woo!

my situation makes me:
listen to the same NWA cover on repeat
drink lots of water
use lots of chapstick

von morgens sechs bis nachts um vier stehen die maedels vor unserem tur...

maureen, kari, tom and i did night stunt sledding.

now i am here and
wonder if i should write some
but it'll be crap

my ass is very
cold from hurdling off the
sled so many times.

before they came, my dad and i had the best dinner EVER. the food was tasty, but more importantly the conversation was superb.
tomorrow:
an essay about batia
an essay about how i'll misunderstand germans
a letter to my host family
drawing

the end!

here is a list:
kb app
basq paper
calc
reading

today i wrote some haikus
i'm listening to muse*, and when that ends my ears will be treated to the sweet sweet violent femmes. mmm!

penny jaw

why is it that in the face of having a billion things to do i remain cheerful and upbeat?
after contemplating this question for a while i have concluded that it is because:
a. i have recieved a top secret lobotomy and am incapable of understanding the gravity of the situation.
b. my promise to be cheery and upbeat at the beginning of the week
who knows?! actually, i do!
when properly bundled up for winter weather, i can only see properly through one eye!
the end!

i know, it's really serious

hey leute!
dont ever use under your keyboard as your safe stowing place! stupid idea!
yeah, good news is that:
i totally shredded my room while searching for the MOST importANT envelope of ever. and so now my underbed is clean, but everywhere else is messy! also, i had told myself "no going out until you find this envelope, idiot!" phew!
the creole music was good, and i had very nice dance partners. sadly, due to the CrAzY climate of uni gym, i sweated profusely. poor nick pratt. poor poor boy.
my free periods were so productive today, but i still have abazillionish things to do.
also, kjldsa!

liebe im augen, gehirn im mulleimer

i think that:
nire katu gaiso dago
mein katze ist krank
mon chat est malade

if i go to germany they will think i am weird for drinking tap water, but i like it so much.
if i go to basque country they'll think i'm cool but then quickly lose interest when they realize that i can't speak their dialect.

a billion years later:
january, 2005 was definitely the best month of this blog! no i wasnt just reading through my old blog posts for laughs, although it is full of them, i was looking for work dates for when i did the boringest job ever: YEAR END INVENTORY! never do it. not only will your respiratory system suffer, you will go crazy whenever you see boonie hats. yes! but the workdates were for doo doo doo.... my congress bundestag application. that's right, i'm trying to go to the great land of germany next year.
the end!
