Virgin Fest review PARTY
( Day 1 )
( Day 2 )
good weekend! I'm slightly sunburned and congested (I think it's from inhaling all that dust - or maybe somebody sneezed on me and I have some rare airborne illness). But oh well.

my life.
working as much as I can.
graduating Monday!
beach week on the 9th.
family beach trip (my grandma's turning 80, so my dad's entire family rented a house WOOHOO) on the 23rd.
work is wonderful. the people are fun and hilarious and so far I haven't encountered any assholish customers. it's also not backbreakingly difficult, although my right arm is probably going to get strong from scooping. I need to work on that ambidextrous thing. also, I need to work on making sundaes that don't look like someone took a dump and put whipped cream on it.
another problem, however, is that at work I'm allowed to eat as much ice cream as I want. this isn't good, because our ice cream is pushing the legal limit of the amount of allowed butter fat. but it's delicious so please come visit me.
ZOMG Harry and the Potters are playing RIGHT IN FRONT OF GIFFORD'S on Sunday at 4:00. I work on Sunday at 7... MAYBE THEY WILL COME AND BUY ICE CREAM FROM ME. That would be pretty cool.
anyways. hit me up to hang out - I think my phone may be on the edge of a breakdown so try me at home.

It's official: Fordham College Lincoln Center Class of 2011.
I'm psyched to be done with the waiting.... not looking forward so much to the $50,000 debt but this really is the best option for me. It has excellent (albeit expensive) housing that is guaranteed (unlike McGill), a wide range of majors and study abroad programs (unlike CMSV) and is located in a wonderful spot in one of the greatest cities in the world (unlike St. Mary's).
So this means I'm staying at home allllll summer to work and make some money. Right now it's looking like I'll either work at some organic market in Olney or at a NIH lab. Maybe both. I NEED MONEYYYY. Let me know if you know of any amazing job opportunities.
Okay in other news:
Rudy Giuliani warns of 'new 9/11' if Dems win
What a stupid piece of shit. 9/11 happened UNDER a Republican administration full of people who had some inkling that some fucked up shit was about to happen. But I'm not saying that there will be another 9/11 if the Republicans win again; I'm saying that another 9/11 will happen if stupid warmongering assholes continue to sit in the Oval Office. You're an exploitative piece of shit, Giuliani, and I would work myself to death trying to make sure you don't get into office.
"'If any Republican is elected president —- and I think obviously I would be the best at this —- we will remain on offense and will anticipate what [the terrorists] will do and try to stop them before they do it.'" Oh. Okay, I see his plan. It's kind of like the one that people were trying to implement in August 2001.
I wish I was more assertive, because I would love to be a politician. These are people who say some of the most blatantly idiotic things ever spoken, and yet people trust them with their lives and country.
So I'm going to go rid myself of this vitriol by watching Jeopardy.
P.S. Please come to SGR Spectacular tomorrow evening, from 6:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. in Blair's SAC!! It's going to be fun and feature excellent performances and AMAZING food. Proceeds go to Doctors Without Borders and some educational thing in India (sorry, I forgot the name).
P.P.S. Click here if you want to learn the TRUTH about homosexuals.. ----> that is Will Bucher. He ran for SMOB and only received 35% of the Blair vote. I WONDER WHY.

"'I am not dying,' said Rumfoord. 'I am merely taking my leave of the solar system. And I am not even doing that. In the grand, in the timeless, in the chronosynclastic infundibulated way of looking at things, I shall always be here. I shall always be where I've been.'" - "The Sirens of Titan"
RIP, Kurt Vonnegut. He inspired me as a writer (I have tried and failed many times to master the satire that fill the pages of his books) and gave me words that I will remember for the rest of my life.

Today = one of the best thrifting days ever.
For the low price of $11.78 (everything was half off), I bought:
Pale blue cardigan without buttons
Dark gray cable knit cardigan
Dark red quilted satin bag
Magenta printed top (I couldn't decide whether I liked it or not, so I just got it)
Brown corduroy jumper (amazingggg, except I haven't tried it on yet.)
2 necklaces that are very similar except for their lengths
I was really psyched, even if it was a crappy day for shoes.
I keep having dreams where I'm forgetting to do something. (I think it's because I didn't write a story for Chips this cycle.) So now I'm going to sit down and make a list of everything I have to do. And then I'm going to do it.
I'm sure all of it is French homework.
It sounds so simple, but I'm being tempted by Vanity Fair and Kingdom Hearts II (excellent game, though I can't decide if it's better than the first). I'm also really restless and quivery.
Today I dislike most things. I can't eat anything. It's so annoying.

Merry One Day After Christmas/Boxing Day! Break so far has been pretty sweet.
For Christmas I received an iPod, Chanel perfume, flat boots FINALLY, a Rilo Kiley t-shirt and some other very wonderful items from my parents as well as an amazing set of plastic drawers containing fantastic makeup from Lizzie and Paul. My friends also gave super great gifts. In conclusion, I love everyone.
Today I saw "Children of Men" with Sean, Carter and Pierre. I've been waiting for this movie for months and months, and I must say - it was worth the wait. I really enjoyed it. I don't even know why - maybe because it just worked so well. Most futuristic movies are outlandish and paint a grossly exaggerated view of our future, but this was imaginable. Plus, Clive Owen is a sex god.
But yeah, the movie was only playing in Georgetown so we took the Metro since I didn't want to drive. Fortunately, Pierre knows his way around Georgetown. Unfortunately, it was raining and cold. We wandered around for what felt like three and a half years looking for food that was cheap and semi-vegetarian. Just thinking about it makes me cold and clammy feeling. But once more on the fortunate side, I love those kids so their presence made the experience more enjoyable. We finally got to a food court and I ate rice. Steamed rice. A tub of it for $1.50!! So good, it made up for the fact that my hair got all frizzy and disgustinnnng.
I hope you guys are having fun breaks and again, call if you want to hang out. I need to see lots of movies over break so if you want to go with me/give me money to see movies, then feel free.
I'm off to go read the newspaper and maybe pine for Zach a little. If you read this, call me again and this time I'll answer!!!
love to all.

update on Becca's super amazing not boring at all (hah) life:
This issue of Chips is going to be beautiful. Unless something goes wrong. But yeah, centerspread is pretty amazing thanks to Nathan's art.
I want to be in college!!! Seriously. I hate hearing about people getting into Columbia (especially when they have a full ride WTF!!!) when I haven't even gotten in anywhere yet. So I should be hearing from BC and Fordham soon. Spiffay. Oh and hopefully McGill - I'm actually realllllly considering McGill so I hope I get in/get a scholarship.
I decorated cookies with Sean this weekend and it was AMAZING and it made me want to have a cookie baking/decorating party. I made a pink and purple dinosaur and then another dinosaur that had a sparkly green collar. So delicious.
"Five Women Wearing the Same Dress" = worst play ever written? It's definitely up there. Just the absolute worst character development and dialogue. FORTUNATELY the Pine Players were very very good so while the material was laughable they delivered fantastic performances.
Ah so on Saturday I went to Noodles & Company with Sean and I left my wallet there and then I spent the rest of the afternoon/evening FREAKING OUT cause I couldn't find it. So I go back there later in the night and Jackson had it!! I nearly cried I was so happy. I hugged him. He didn't hug back.
I felt awkward.
I guess life is pretty rad, even if there's a million and one mundane things to do - order contacts. arrange team building spirit activity for Chips. mail Mount Saint Vincent's application. get teacher recommendations for McGill scholarship. I can't wait to be in college!!!
alright. I'm going to finish applications tonight. I swear.

last week's highlights:
Becca: "I hate it when you have a fever and you wake up in the middle of the night and it's breaking so you get all sweaty and it feels so gross and wet and--"
Sean: "I hate wet dreams."
Becca: .....
I saw "A Christmas Carol" and sure, it was a nice production overall. Costumes were terrific, lights and sound were generally great and hey, the acting wasn't as horrific as it usually is. But oh my goddddd it was boring. The singing was pretty during the first song, but by the second act it had spiraled into just bad bad bad. However, the show had several redeeming characters in Ali Baba and Tiny Tim. Oh and that guy who reminded me of Sean who takes Scrooge's shirt. He was fabulous. So yeah, overall, not a good show.
On the bright side, seeing the play made me really in the mood to watch "A Muppet Christmas Carol"!!
ahahahahah so last weekend I was watching "Pocahontas" and I was like, "Oh my gosh Thomas sounds like BATMAN! And oh my gosh he kind of looks like Christian Bale as well." and then it turned out I was right. so uh I'm kinda lame.
I woke up at 8:41 a.m. today and it kicked ass.
I want to work for the Associated Press just so I can have an excuse to buy their stylebook.
coming soon - PICTIONARY because the people (or just one special person) have spoken.

eesh my brain has melted. I think I'm sick but I don't know what with. allz I know is I'm really tired and my head is killing me but it's not mono cause I already had that.
I just raped and pillaged my way through a lit essay, so three cheers for mediocrity that I hope will get an A.
( oh wasting timeeee )
gahhhhhhhhh I got toner for the printer so now there is absolutely no excuse for me to not do college applications.
today slightly sucked because two people fell on me at lunch, Zach wouldn't let me read his essay and Cole got crazy glue all over my hands after ripping my French homework. Plus I have to go to French Honor Society tomorrow.
Honestly, life is tough. Life is really, really tough. I'm off to go be melodramatic and whine while studying vocab for English.
but one more thing -- today my mom made me go to McDonald's to buy her a sandwich and they had no ice cream there so I made Paul go get me a TALL frappuchino but he got me a venti and I drank the entire thing. I feel SO DISGUSTINGGGGGGG. ew ew ew. ew.
coming up next time: a list of stuff I want.
love and bodkins.

Soooo most of my friends have abandoned me at home to save third world villages and shit.
And my parents? They haven't let me drive anywhere yet. Seriously. Absolutely nowhere. Not even up the street to CVS. I am so agitated. I can't even drive to work until I practice the "FLIGHT PLAN" with my dad. So annoyed.
Plus, I can't afford the fucking ride-on everyday. I mean, mwaaargh "building trust" and "care for my well-being" is cool and all, but I JUST WANT TO DRIVE PLACES. I WANT TO GO TO SUBWAY AND THE LIBRARY AND UNIQUE ALL BY MYSELF!
the only good thing is I've read a lot of books on the bus. and "Project Runway" starts tonight.
MY LIFE MAKES ME SAD.
I miss you/will miss you all! Send me postcards. Everyone. from everywhere.
PS: Recommend books/movies/music so I don't pick up (another) intravenous drug habit because of boredom.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ONE OF MY
BFFFFFFFFFFFS... TASHA!
To the chica who makes my life so much better with her support and love and, of course, car. I love her sooooooooooooooooo inexplicably much. And I'm going to make sure this year rocks hardcore for her. One more year til porn and cigarettes. And voting!
Off to work more on my draft. It's gonnnnna be kickass.
(I hope.)
THINGS I REALLY NEED TO DO:
- Get money.
- Be positive.
- BE A POSITIVE LIFE-AFFIRMING FORCE LIKE THE PEOPLE IN MY LIFE.
I want to become one of those people who may be really shy but who makes a huge difference in people's lives, like Amélie. That's one of my new goals. Starting tomorrow, I will surprise people to remind them that people care and as such, they should feel loved and noticed in the world. Let me know if you have suggestions for projects.

PPPS: I love the Mountain Goats. They may just be my new favorite band. And if your name is Sean, then you need to give me CDs of the Elected and the Islands. And in return, you will get my eternal love.

Rilo Kiley - Spectacular Views |

So I'm at home sick and I figured, well, why not make the most of this day off and work on making the Indochina project FUCKING AMAZING??!?!?1
I was really psyched about making food because, let's face it -- I am generally a retard when it comes to anything more than boxed mixes. I don't see how that's possible, because my mom is an amazing cook. She should actually start her own restaurant. And so I had all these recipes from Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos, and then my mom wouldn't drive me to Giant so, uh, I made this one Cambodian recipe called Sesame Sticky Rice.
It looks like vomit. A large pan full of vomit.
But I swear it tastes good! Actually, it's sickly sweet but eatable. Hopefully it'll get better before tomorrow? And I'll just go make some "Swiss" pancakes and it'll be beast. Except I'll probably screw those up too.
Uhhh this weekend was okay. Friday after school I went to Zach's with Sean and we watched "40 Year Old Virgin." I was kind of unimpressed, but Steve Carrell is so foxy. Seriously. And then we went to Rob's for a minute before heading over to Cole's because he was all injured. It was sad. On Saturday I did nothing and then I went to see "8 Below" with Zach.
Oh God. I don't think I've ever cried that much during a movie. I started crying around the middle of it, and I did not stop. It wasn't even cute crying. It was repulsive full on sobbing, all drippy and squawky. And that part with the leopard seal? I nearly died from fright and I screamed. Later on I started kicking Zach out of sadness. And then when we were leaving the theater, I was like the only one crying. Basically, I'm a wimp. But it was just so fucking sad.
OH GOSH POST-OSCAR COMMENTARY
A. Um, hey "Crash!" I didn't think you were that great! Better than "Brokeback," but come on. I thought "Good Night and Good Luck" was so much better.
B. MARRY ME, REESE WITHERSPOON. I love that woman so much. My mom started crying during her speech, just because she's so earnest and endearing.
C. I kinda wish I could have mad wild sex with David Straithairn. Weird? What is weirder is that he played the stepdad in one of my all time favorite childhood films, "Good Girls Don't Cry... They Get Even."
D. Major major girl crush on Catherine Keener. She just seems so introspective and intelligent, but she also has really pretty hair.
E. MICHELLE WILLIAMS why did you wear that hideous dress and clown makeup?!? I would expect that of Anne Hathaway, but you?!?
F. Other insipid talk: Charlize Theron, your dress was fug. Salma Hayek is so hot. I don't find Jake Gyllenhaal attractive at all. George Clooney gets better with age. Keira Knightley's hair looked terrible, but I loved loved her dress.
G. Okay guys, I was impressed that Three 6 Mafia won, but I am sorry to say that Dolly Parton owned that performance and she should have won.
H. Jon Stewart wasn't that bad, and Tom Shales is a tool.
I accidentally deleted this uber long Xanga entry, butttttt you guys have to see my amaryllis that just bloomed!
( I see you at the foot of some mountains )
Alright so now I will do my English cards. Ughhh. Being sick sucks. I typed being suck sicks. That was unnecessary.
PS: I am trying to convince my mother to let me get more piercings. She won't even let me get my ears pierced again. And I don't want to do it myself because I can't stick needles in myself. It's why my career as a heroin addict failed. I really want a nose piercing. A small cute stud.
MOM'S CONTENTION: "You will look like a pig. Ew!"
So if you have any pictures of people who do not look like pigs with nose piercings, send them my way for my piercing presentation. I should probably spend more time doing precal than this. But uh, oh well.

Pixies - Oh My Golly! |
] |
THINGS BECCA LOVES:
When people are just happy and loving, like Seany was yesterday. WHAT A GUY. He made me a candle!
When it snows during school, and everyone in the class you're in starts screaming about snow. And then they run to the window during the Latin vocabulary quiz and your Latin teacher goes bugshit and screams at you all. ahahahahah. That class makes me chuckle.
When your study guides come out beautifully and you know you'll do well on an upcoming AP World test.
Listening to the Pixies while you're all warm in your sweatpants because you're not at work.
Chips production week... especially when you have crossword page.
When it stops snowing. But then it starts again!
When Zachy eats lunch with us. (Even if it was because his OTHER friends weren't there. BASTARD. In a good way.)
Factoring. I LOVE FACTORING.
So here's to December, the holidays, snow, love, Pixies, black nail polish and Pepsi.
I have so many presents to buy. But now it's French time.

David Bowie - China Girl |
] |
Tonight I sold my very first box of condoms to a couple of kids who were probably my age, maybe a year older. I doubt they were actually going to have sex, but when I picked up the box I started laughing. And I couldn't stop. I was like, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, this is the first box of condoms I've ever gotten," and the guy was like, "Hey, me too!!!" And that sent me over the edge. As they were leaving, I choked out, "Have a nice night!" and they ran outside laughing.
I actually like working at Giant; Ron (front end manager) is hilarious, the work isn't too hard and the hours are okay. I'm pretty beat. Cause standing for five hours straight does that to you. But yeah, job is good. School is alright, I suppose. Right now I'm just kinda floating along. The only really difficult thing I've encountered thus far is Chips, but the sheer fun of that class is enough to make up for the work. So yeah.
Right, and social stuff is actually quite okay. I feel like I've gotten closer with people who I didn't think I would ever be really friendly with, which is good. There are still some people I'd like to know better, but still 8 months to do that. yeah.
Uhhhh this weekend will be okay. I hope. Worked tonight from 5 to 10; tomorrow we're visiting Lizzie at St. Mary's (and partying it up! yeah party! yeah!) and then Sunday I have to work.
Now my throat hurts and I feel sick. What a bunch of fucking shit.
Yeah, so I've gotta go read the paper and burn CDs for Lizzie. See you cats later.
