Plastic Bottle Chair

I guess my plastic bottle chair is NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN because my mom has just depleted me of my plastic bottle supply.
She made me collect from my room, hallway, and car and count them (which took all morning) so she can take them to her school, where they have been collecting all year.
They are trying to raise 15,000 so they can win some contest and the plastic bottles will be made into fleece jackets (??) which is a good cause and ok probably a better idea than a plastic bottle chair.

I have my stats lab final in about an hour, but I think taking my dog for a walk and seeing how many bracelets I can fit on my arms is more important than studying.

For part of my final project for my Worldviews class, I am making a cd with everyone in my class' favorite songs. It's a really cool idea actually, and I think you can tell a lot about a person by listening to their favorite song. For another part of my final, I am making a vase collage, I will take a picture, it will be beautiful.

HERE is the list of songs, obviously #7 is mine:

1. When the Levee Breaks – Led Zeppelin
2. The Noose – A Perfect Circle
3. 99 Red Balloons – Bjork
4. Fever – Michael Buble
5. What You Are To Me – Unkle
6. I Want You (She’s So Heavy) – The Beatles
7. If Works Permits – The Format
8. Change (In the House of Flies) – Deftones
9. Down to You – Joni Mitchell
10. Tonight, Tonight – Smashing Pumpkins
11. The Lighthouse’s Tale – Nickel Creek
12. Here Comes the Sun – The Beatles
13. That I Would Be Good – Alanis Morissette
14. Walk – Blind Melon
15. Brown Eyed Girl – Van Morrison
16. Spoonful – Etta James
17. Burn One Down – Ben Harper

brand new start

It has recently been brought to my attention this phenomenon of girls sending nude pictures to guys on myspace. My friend Brady showed me some of these pictures, and seriously girls. Have some dignity. Respect yourselves! Don't give it away like that! He said "they think I'm hot". You know, that doesn't mean you should take a picture of your boobs and share them with the world, ok.

I realize I never told the story of my amazing trip down Trinity River in Dallas. My environmental studies class did a canoeing field trip. First me and the girl I was with were too slow so the other canoes got impatient and made us switch. Then the guy I was with was going superfast, and I hardly had to paddle. Then we came across a difficult situation... we ran into a tree and tipped into the river!! I swam in the rushing waters for about 10 minutes before I was finally rescued. I had to strip down to prevent hypothermia and was forced to wear various classmates jackets. Then they tipped our canoe back over and we had to continue!! I was hoping maybe I could chill on the banks while the rest of my class drove back to pick me up or something, I guess I hoped that falling in the river was a good reason for not having to complete the field trip, but no... Well I lost my paddle while I was drowning, so I had no control and the guy steered me into ANOTHER tree. It was fabulous. Lizzie the outdoorsy explorer.

What else? I only have 6 days of class/finals left this semester, I feel a mysterious tooth growing in where my wisdom teeth were supposed to be removed, and I am on a hunt for perfect shoes to go with my dress for theatre banquet. That is it.

"Dear child,

I only did to you what the sparrow did to you
I am old when it is fashionable to be young
I cry when it is fashionable to laugh
I hated you when it would have taken less courage to love"

sorry to dwell on this but...

ok Nate Ruess, did you time-travel to invade my brain and write your songs??
I mean really, what the hell is this about??:

"I'm sure they all agree.
They take you home to help make you forget about me.
When they turn to sleep, you're wide awake,
You spend the whole night staring up at the ceiling.
Don't justify, now you're no better than Justine."

ummm ok
wow eerie creepy

the day after

two comforts:
1. knowing that my cat Mimzy has nowhere else she would rather be than by my side
even though she snores and is sometimes annoying
2. knowing that Nate Ruess' girlfriend clearly did the same thing or how else would The Format's songs be so appropriate for my despair?

I am torn between wanting to keep this between us because it's no one else's business (esp. not you ash!bash!ash!) and desperately needing someone to talk to.

And, I always seem to get sick at the worst times. This mound of kleenexes next to me is getting taller by the minute. oh but JUST NOW my mom informed me that she got me kleenex with LOTION! so much better than the regular kind

The good news is this:
Today my brother has one year sober!! hooray!

also

what is this "only you" bullshit!!

only me, plus 2 (or more!) other girls?????

Well the last year has made the last three look so easy
You were supposed to keep the disease between you and me"
