What is wrong with people?
-in discussing our dissecting cats in Anatomy-
Mom: What hour do you have anatomy?
Me: 6th, why?
Mom: Can I come in?
Me: What for?
Mom: Just to observe, I'm curious
Me: You've already dissected a person, what could you possibly get from a cat?!
Mom: Actually, two people, but the second one was just the head and neck, I don't know what happened to the rest of him . . .
Me: *pause* YOU MEAN IT WAS JUST THE HEAD AND NECK OF THE PERSON?!!!?!
Mom: Yeah
Five minutes after I stopping screaming she said she was just kidding, there was a whole person there, but they only dissected the one part of him, as opposed to there only being a head and neck on the table, as she led me to believe. How can people ever expect me to be normal with her as my mother?
cheese and fucking crackers
In other news -
I have, in my mind, created the ideal group for a (fantasy) mass 1-2 week long trip to London and the surrounding areas (i.e. England) it is: Me, Moe, Amber, Stephanie, Kaylee . . . yes, I'm leaving some people out, but I truly think that the five of us in England would be fucking amazing. Me and Moe got an email from Madame about some sort of FOUR STORY music store in London - I was struck speechless. I'm going to have so much trouble leaving London! ohhhh England.
Oh and in college news -
I like most everything about Kalamazoo College, including the fact that it does not make me anxious. but it doesn't matter. I'm going to UofM. and its such a strange feeling, like those are really my only two viable options right now (even if I had applied to other schools, that would be the case) and I feel trapped and I don't really want to go to either, but here's the thing - I need to go to UofM and get over my anxiety so I can get the hell out of this state. I need to go to the place I don't want to go to so I can deal with that anxiety and get over it and maybe transfer later or get an internship or job somewhere else. This is trivial. College, I feel like, almost won't matter in the long run. get a fucking education and get it over with. stupid people go to college and expect it to be the best time of their lives, they go to parties, get drunk, have casual sex, get stoned strung out and fucked up, and generally act like morons. but I do not drink, I do not do drugs, I do not have casual sex, I just don't. I am going to college to get on with my life and overcoming anxiety is a big part of that. Its hard to explain, this feeling, and I'm not sure its coming out right in writing, but if I said it to you I think you would maybe understand better. I'm just trying to live my life, and honestly, I think I need more of a city to do that in. Ann Arbor is just a decent sized city so I can get acclimated for a bigger city. Besides, UM has a music school, a businness school and Ann Arbor has an almost good music scene. and K is waaaaay to expensive, thats just the fact.
I might get an internship in Nashville in summer '08 from my mom's patient's daughter. yeah, its in country music, but what do I care? its experience, its work, its in Nashville. I'm actually incredibly excited for that possibility. I'm not sure if you realize THE RACONTEURS are now based in Nashville. OMFG
and PS new album coming from Brendan Benson soon, according to his website. you shouldn't even have to ask if I'm excited. duh.
I feel like doing something crazy and drastic. like getting a tattoo, getting something pierced or pulling all the skin off my body or running around screaming or trying to fly off a 40 story building . . .
this is the longest entry ever, I hope my friends still read it because I'd really like some feedback on all these occurances, some sort of reassurance or something.
OK last thing, I swear! just that, I'm definitely liking The Killers a lot more than I used to. and Fall Out Boy's new album is sooooooooooooooo amazing. I've given up on pretending I don't like them, and this album definitely shows so much maturation in lyrics and musical style than the last, seriously. and Bloc Party's new album WILL change your life and the way you view yourself and the people/culture/government around you. BUY IT. LISTEN TO IT.
