Thursday, August 17th 2000; written at 11:21 pm: Today was an altogether boring day which consisted of sitting around and watching tv (The Real World and Spongebob Squarepants), playing my bass and guitar for the first time in quite a while and writing some poetry. I have been anticipating getting my new car, a black Ford Focus sedan, which I will be picking up tomorrow at 2 oclock. This is indeed, my first car. As I said, I did play guitar and bass for a little while.. especially trying to learn how to play "Panic in Detroit" by Shadow Project. The result?? Decent.. I did get a few riffs, or, maybe I didnt exactly *get* them but it sounded a good bit like the song. For dinner, I had chinese, which I havent had in a few months. I have been eating strawberry creme savers like crazy this past week and my teeth are aching to prove it. Right now I am thinking about getting my new car, about putting in my application for Barnes and Noble, and about how my eyes are starting to hurt from the glare of the comp screen. I was informed that Culture Club are going to be playing in NYC next month, and tix went on sale today. I want to go.. very badly. I am also contemplating getting a web-cam.. *yawns* Ok, thats enough for tonight. =)

I won my first web award today... which I just created a page for. I have been considering going upstate with my family and to the NY state fair. I will be taking my car up, so I can leave to go home a day or two earlier than my family does. I am interested in going because they sell manic panic hair dye for cheaper than around here...and I want to get a bleaching kit and blue or purple dye to dye the ends of my hair with.. not to mention the delicious shaved ice they sell ^_~ hehehe.. well, anyhow.. not much else went on today. I was out for the majority of the day with my family, going to staples for school supplies, and going to White Castle for lunch. I am planning on writing some new poetry tonight and maybe even posting it on my poetry page. How am I feeling right now? My back hurts, I am reaaaaly happy about getting my new car, I am confused about a few things and I am getting hungry. Oh, also I really have to get to reading my summer reading books. hehe.. I procrastinate too much. ^_~

Things went well and I found 2 pairs of pants I need for school and a new shirt on sale. I have to keep reminding myself to get up before 1 oclock tommorrow morning, because at 1 I need to go online to judge Poetry.com's poetry bash. That should be exciting. I look forward to it. I painted something new today... its like a purple and white smeared background with black wildflowers that have silver stems. It is cybery and modern, while still being traditional. I hung it over my bed, since the wall was bare and it needed something. No poetry today.. or so far, anyhow. I added a pic of me onto my "about me" page.. though it is a very old and bad one. Oh well. Thats pretty much it for today. =)

Ok, I know I havent written any entries in a while and that is because last thursday I went upstate and to the NY state fair until late Sunday night. Yesterday we went to Six Flags Great Adventure. It was fun, but me being a sappy scared idiot, didnt go on any of the big rides. All in all it was a fun day. Today I am realizing that school is going to start soon and I dont have anything ready. Also that there is no way I am ready to wake up at 6 in the morning again. I should really finish up my summer projects such as the sewing projects I began, and also all my paintings. And I should really organize my room better. I am hoping Barnes and Noble is going to call me for an interview, as I really want to work there and I need a job. Oh! And I am very excited that poetry.com has chosen to publish my poem "In Dreaming(A Moment In Heaven)" in one of their collections, "Nature's Echoes". If you are interested in reading the poem, you can go to my poetry page. I am getting lazier as school approaches and time seems to be going much too fast. Although I want to go out and spend the last days of summer having fun and doing things.. I also want to stay home and catch up on stuff and even just sit around and relax. *sigh* the problems that come with the end of the summer. Oh well, till the next time I write again...
Sunday, September 10th, written at 4:00pm: Today nothing spectacular happened.. woke up got dressed went online... then I decided to go for a drive, to which I drove to Piermont.. there wasnt really anywhere to park or anything to do so I drove through Nyack.. there was some fair going on, but nothing great so I drove back home. I cant believe how quickly the weekend passed and it sucks that I have a full week of school coming up.I may go out and rent a movie from the library in a little while. This past week brought to my attention that I like U2 and Radiohead. I have always liked a few songs by both but after hearing a few more I like enough songs to say that I like the bands themselves. I want to get the Radiohead cd, "Ok Computer" and I went out to do that yesterday, but they(Tower) charged 17.99 for it and that is wayyyyy to much for a cd, besides, Im broke, and I have no job so I said forget it. I watched some of those stupid mtv awards the other night and it was terrible. Every nominee was horrible and the people who won were the worst. What I was REALLY sickened to see was that Eminem *shudder* won the best video of the year. bleh! Yeah right... I would have nominated The Cure's "Why Cant I be You" ;P *sigh* living in the 80s again. Oh well.
