SUMMER! me and teresa and carol and julia have a house!! in west hyattsville!!!! and jobs!!! okay, so i lied about the jobs, but sara gets to have a job now! yay! okay, well Math world is going well. and my hair is kind greasy. this week it was kind cold on monday and really super cold on tuesday and wonderful and warm on wednesday and yesterday it was super hot and humid and after work around 9:00 we watched clouds have sex, it was amazing, the sky was almost completely dark except for the outlines of two gi-normous clouds which were shooting lightning at each other, and illuminating giant balls on the inside of them, and then they kept shooting lightning till the joined and silently let out a short shower. anyway, it was amazing, the entire thing lasted about an hour in complete silence and stillness. it was very bizarre. and now today it's kinda chilly again.

summer is coming!!! does anybody who'll be in dc this summer have any job ideas for me? i just dropped my tesol minor and so will not be doing a tesol internship this summer (not like it would've paid me anyway...). ok, cool things: 1)carol, caroline, and teresa are graduating very soon! 2)meg just embarked on a beautiful business venture selling hot dogs, pop, and beer out of brick house's back yard. really perfect idea, nothing could be more in the spirit of may term, except for maybe drunken sweaty hook-ups. 3)caroline's going to be on a real boat this summer (huh, that kinda makes it sound like she's been on an imaginary boat until now...) so cool, aaaaand, there is a very big possibility that the h.m.s caroline will be docking in chicago which is only 2HOURS AWAY from goshen for the months of september and october. she's totally coming to live with me at damn green, she just doesn't know it yet. 4)teresa ran her first marathon a couple weeks ago and finished within the top 15 women and basically did really really well. carol is doing lots of cool things that she doesn't tell us about, you know, to preserve her mysterious femme vibe. 5)meg is going to be in san francisco next fall. bien cool. 6)i have good plans for next fall, yay me. a good schedule (brit. lit. 1, women's studies, writing creative nonfiction, liberation theologies, voice - all on tuesday/thursday except for one on monday night.) a good house, a good job (i think the laundromat is going to take me back), celeste just told me that she wants me to be the arts page editor in the fall (yay!), and i'm going to be maybe editing a collection of poetry for my senior project as well as organizing a student lit. journal. and caroline might be in chicago!!! soo good! and in the spring i will have an even better schedule, again with no mon/wed/fri classes: creative writing, feature writing, senior seminar, voice, senior project, poetry workshop, and teaching learning concepts (learning how to teach music lessons). and in may term, arts in london!! (i've just realized that i've really have studied what i wanted to study before i came to college: music and voice, languages and culture, literature, writing and a lot of poetry, and sociology/social work. i wanted to study abroad and i will have studied in three different countries by the time i graduate. all of the sudden i'm feeling strangly satisfied. ) ok, this is the longest blog ever. love you guys! cuidanse mucho!

what's up!!!!!! okay, so yesterday during class i was bored and descided to just e-mail folks about housing for this summer in DC'! and i had 6 responces by this morning!!! woo hoo! and the sun is shinning!!!! and i had a great weekend!!!!! yay yay yay! life is good good good Thursday, March 25, 2004
Dickweed! What is this about being in chicago in september? that would be too good to be true. you can come live at my house on the weekends!!! better yet, i could come live with you!!! I hope your tooth is repairing alright and congrats on being almost an aunt and almost done with college! i think this is from caroline: HELLO!! I am here! Dude, I miss you guys so much. Things have been awesome crazy but good for me. The camping trip was butt cold (it got down to 14 degrees and condensation froze inside our tent) but so awesome. T, I have your sleeping bag, thanks so much. Then I had lunch with my brother and my unborn niece--Ashlynn Brooke Blevins. She's coming in may, so watch out! then back to school. so much exam madness but wait, excitement all around! I'm doing my own thing on the ships now, stupid costume with stupid bum role, but hot let me tell you. I chipped my tooth and I'm being a big baby about. Head home Friday to see the dentist to make it better. I think I cracked in rugby and then it broke off during dinner. Anyway, rugby this weekend kicked crazy butt. We played the college of new jersey away and they served us but dude, they had 33 players and kept subbing in fresh legs and we were three players short. that was the best rugby I've played in a long time. I've even got bruises (which is amazing for me since the color of my skin never changes). I spent more time on the ground than running between plays because I was a tackling fiend. To top it all off, the ref came up to me after the game and commended me on my tackling, which is usually my weakest skill, and said that he knew if I was chasing a girl down, he wouldn't have to run very far because I'd nail the tackle. Yay me, that's the goodness. Badnes: my computer spontaneously comubsted thursday. I handed it over to the IT people with a white flag and said "please make it better". That's what's up in W'burg. Crazy much I miss you guys. T, if you're bored this weekend, we've got a home game against Radford and then I'm free. I know you're probably swamped. I need to go re-febreeze myself, I can't get the smell of dead people and fermaldehyde out of my nose (yay monday night anatomy lab). I hope the senior show rocked, Kate and Meg. I will not be living in D.C. this summer if I can help it. But I should be spending all of September in Chicago if things work out. Sara, you'll have to visit. Graduation is thankfully right around the corner and my family is all freaking out because I only get five tickets and I have two families that don't like each other. I think I'll send half to tour Colonial Williamsburg and the other half to Jamestown Settlement. Ahhh, the colonial life. Anyway, our commencement speaker is non other than W&M alumnus Jon Stewart. Now I know you're all jealous. Except for Meg who hangs out with famous movie stars. Monday, March 22, 2004
yay for livin' in sw dc!! yes, i'm totally living in dc this summer, in my parents' apartment. but i'm going to hang out with all of you guys as much as is humanly possible, i'm warning you now, just you try and stop me. i don't have a practicum or a job set up yet, maybe i should think about that......... also... CONGRATS TO MEG AND KATE AND THEIR SUPER AMAZING SENIOR ART SHOW!!!!! i was impressed. you guys definitely kicked the other exhibits asses. Kate and I are totally living in DC this summer, we're looking on getting an apartment maybe near where sara is living Julia might come too, that brings the roster up to Meg, Kate, Carol, Julia, teresa?, and sara??? we're working from this end to get an apartment, we'll let you know what's happening as they happen Thursday, March 18, 2004
Whoa! everybody's posting!! yay! happy happy things: -just had jim strouse come in and talk to our writing poetry class, so sweet and funny and totally inspiring. mennonites from goshen can do big artistic things, in kind of a mighty-mouse way. -am listening to early david bowie interviews and his lovely lovely british speaking voice, even sexxier than his singing voice, (especially his early singing voice..) -will get the long awaited loan money tomorrow as well as my first pay check from the laundromat. i might just pass out from actually-having-money-euphoria. -just found out that i'm allowed to do my own laundry (for free) during my shifts at the laundromat. nice. -had very quality weekend. very quality -there's this guy named gary jules, and he did a cover of the tears for fears song mad world and it's quite possibly the prettiest song i've heard in a long long time. bad news bears: -what? only four weeks left in the semester? when did this happen? i haven't learned anything yet... -snowing pissy snow again today, for the third day in a row. -general lack of inspiration, motivation, other things ending in -tion -have completely lost the ability to say the phrase "bad news" without tagging on "bears" i love you all! i will leave you with a couple choice quotes from our friend, kate schrock: "That's a quality top A class notch type movie!" "March: in like the wind, out like the wind." (i think she was trying to say, in like a lion, out like lamb....) Wednesday, March 17, 2004
yes, acid bad! okay, so julia's roommate was being a real ass-hole last night, enough to make her cry, so they went to there room to talk about it, meanwhile i talked to one of her housemates and watched him put away 7 shots of crappy rum, he explained to me that this job (that movie internship thing that meg has) is the most stressful thing he's ever done, we also reminisced about this giant swing in keezletown, and shared near drowning/fun swimming stories. anyway, ross and julia finally came downstairs, everything resolved (yippee!) and then ross stuck his ass in my face, so a punched him, and he continued to stick his ass in my face, so i continued to punch him, things escalated so that we were rolling around on the linoleum of their very small kitchen for a good 15 minutes or so, all the while the drunken bryn, as far as we could tell, was completely oblivious to the goings on around his ankle and complained that his Beck CD was skipping. it was a very odd scene, 4-5 people in vary small kitchen, 2 of which were wrestling (i was able to hold my own, even though ross had 40 pounds on me, and i had 2 beers in my system) after the whole affair julia shared with me that it was oddly cathartic to watch and thanked me, i smiled and told her i was tired. it's not a very interesting story, just odd. i'm trying to figure out what it means when two "mennonite" "resolve" something physically, it wasn't really violent, just physical. can resolving something physically be non-violent? shit, i'm late for class... Tuesday, March 16, 2004
Hmm things that suck....I'm so stressed out I have heart burn, making me feel like my mom. Acid sucks. Sunday, March 14, 2004
Things that rule: 1. I'm working on the set of a film directed by steve buscemi (see: the elkhart truth or the goshen news) 2. I pull cable for phil parmet 3. my lighter might be in the film 4. I get all my meals for free 5. job-schmob 6. I know a shit-load of cool people now Things that suck: 1. I work from se 2. I'm going to do really shitty in school 3. cassey stole my lighter and never gave it back 4. there is a constant supply of carrots, candy, crackers, and coke in the holding room, unfortunatly my hand drifts towards the candy more than the carrots 5. every person in cast and crew smoke, including me, I suck, I know, but what else am I supposed to do during the 15 hour days (I work every day from about 7 am til about midnight. 6. I gave up my social life for sleep this lenton season Thursday, March 11, 2004
CAKE IS GOOD!!! that is my substantive post of the day. hmmm i think that maybe we should have a THINGS THAT RULE! post were we talk about stuff that we think is cool and that other people should take a look at. Like movies and books and stuff that we really like. I think that if there is anyone out there that hasn't seen Rushmore yet, it rules, and they definitly should. It makes you want to make out with Bill Murray. Monday, March 08, 2004
damn you indiana yeah, so on the way home we ran into snow. damn you indiana. other than that, life is good. i hate school. Friday, March 05, 2004

hellooooo! bush is definitely the scariest thing in the world right now (that is, of course, aside from global capitalism) but, of course, it's structures like capitalism that allow for fucked up authoritarian systems (like the US "democratic" government) to get into place. hmm, that didn't make much sense, I'm not oporating on tons of sleep. kjersti! what's up you crazy kid...someday I will make it to norway...or amsterdam, I am so i love with that place and i've never even been there. I heard that there is something like 2.5 bikes per person there, that's amazing, I can't believe it. it's wonderful. I am so moving amsterdam. or anyplace warm, the weather here is absolutly ridiculous....we were just driving back from dc because we were at this amazing conference, the national conference on organized resistance, basically an anarcists convention where there were two days of intense classes about some really amazing subjects taught by some really amazing people/profs (i.e. elaine brown who was at one point the chairman for the black panthers) anyway, there snow on the way back was riddiculous and we had to turn around and spend another night in dc, which wasn't bad because dc rocks my world, plus it meant I got to skip aesthetics, and art history, two classes that seem riddiculous after learning about how our thought and our art is a commodity of an authoritarian global capitalist, something-oir-other institution. plus, it's no longer vulgar to use the term fuck as an adjetive, so this weekend was fucking amazing, indiana fucking sucks,s someday I'm moving to fuck amsterdam (or someplace outside the us) and it darn well better be fucking soon. as for spring break, ahhhhh!!!!! what are we going to do, ok, I have to go, shit, bye! I love you all very fucking much, hee hee Saturday, January 24, 2004
kjersti! so good to hear from you! good luck with with tooth-drilling and all of that! i still have another year of college, but after that i hope to go back to europe, where? i have no idea. (don't worry, i think g. bush being in office is one of scariest things i can think of. and it just keeps getting scarier and scarier...) to all of you living in the states: are we getting together for spring break or not? if so, we need to get it together. believe or not, spring break is the first week of march which is only five weeks away. so........ i was talking to heather murphy and she said she knows where some free camping is by the grand canyon. so, maybe we should schedule an im session, or something where we can all talk at the same time. -sara |
