10:40 pm	My Day ..sucked. it actually started last night when i went out to eat with mr barton and stupidly, stupidly, stupidly ordered a coke, which kept me up until FOUR O'CLOCK in the morning. so then i had had only four hours of sleep when my sister called me at 8 to wake me up for breakfast. i had feminine cramps for feminine reasons, and the whole goddamned monthly process is, believe me, much more trouble than it's worth. i saw daniel off and left fifteen minutes later. it was too cold to shower. the oil light came on. long story short, gordon (thank Christ) talked me through that little fiasco, but i ended up leaving richmond twenty minutes after i intended... when i got to lexington, being directionally retarded and having to talk on a cell phone while dodging traffic, looking for any available parking place, and shifting (fifteen, twenty more wasted minutes) put me in quite the mood and gave me a maximum of eight minutes with nancy before she had to go to class. i was too tired to read fifty pages before class. i went anyway, but all we did was go over the midterm last week. which i housed, so it didn't really metter. practice sucked. kyle won't be marching for carolina crown next year, because one of my little (that is, tall) minions at eastern will have squashed him before he gets the chance. i went to bonnie to do the french with yale, and then i was going to go practice for my lesson, but they had just started bourne identity when i got there, so i ended up falling asleep on my napchair for a couple hours. i ate the stale cereal yale warned me not to eat. when chris and ian got back, that and half a chicken sandwish sent me to the bathroom for a while where i puked it back up. my knees ache from shifting. i have a monstrous chin pimple, circles under my eyes, dirty hair (i never did take that shower) and two popped blood vessels from throwing up. i realize that most of this was my fault...but tomorrow better rule, or i quit.

DO NOT WASTE THIS YEAR. when you come back to the states, they will try to make you feel insignificant by not being old enough to consume alcohol. love you! ~emmie Current Mood: chipper (4 Comments |Comment on this)

8:07 pm	with a quickness hey all. some of you may have noticed that there have been a dirth of emily updates in the past couple weeks. this is because my computer refuses to connect to any internet site but bellarmine's. i don't know why. i have schlepped it up and down that ridiculous hill to the help desk and they are as big a piece of shit as my computer. i am too lazy to walk downstairs and update in the study. things have been picking up some, and that's good. i've had lots of work (YAY) for school and with HS bands (eastern, central, daviess.) i went to richmond friday, i got sunburnt on saturday, attended two very different parties on sunday and now i'm back with daviess for a couple days, since i have no classes tomorrow. i got nothin else, really. i'm happy and my family is in zurich.

1:43 pm	places my parents leave tomorrow. i don't know what to feel right now. in "garden state," the characters define home as a group of people who miss the same imaginary place...well that's a nice phrase, but i don't think that's home, at all. home is where you feel the most comfortable every time you show up there. it's a place where you can leave for a long time, and come back welcomed, not having missed anything. it's about the people who love you the most. it isn't some therapy group for the displaced. my dorm, for some reason, is the loneliest place i know. maybe i won't feel that way when things pick up some. i hope they do. saturdays are going to be hard for me for a long time, i think. it felt so wrong having nowhere to be yesterday morning, and no one to be there with. i miss having something i felt like i belonged to, a place where i was needed, missed when i wasn't there. it sucks feeling scared of doing something wrong or putting people out all the time. it sucks wondering whether i should go or stay. it sucks crying and missing. i'm such a fucking girl...sorry...

9:48 pm	mooovie time did nothing today. after watching napolean dynamite with the boys...which, all decided, is a mixture of yale deskins, rushmore, and the state of idaho. that's it. hung out here, watched the negotiator, ate chicken, took a nap, may or may not go to a party now. lata (1 Comment |Comment on this)

4:25 pm	she burns failed college experiment #2: liking freshmen been settling in to school real nicely. it's been good to know people up here already; i usually have someone to hang out with when i need it. yale took me on a tour of the town last night- the riverfront, downtown, roads to know, etc. it was pretty nice. i love cities at night. i've got a lot of stuff to figure out soon, some things are hanging over my head which will need to be addressed in the next few weeks...not yet... ever since ive gotten here, my computer has been randomly f-ing up, because bellarmine's system is infested with viruses. i need to go to the help desk sometime and get it figured out/fixed. i think i wrote the last draft of that poem i've been working on for a while. i need inspiration about...something else now! heah it is: MANIFEST for the DCHS marching band Evening comes. On the field silhouetted figures march in time. The sun, dipping behind a crowd of trees, casts orange projections on their horns. Suspended above the ensemble turns the prickling electricity of change. Huddling like athletes, close-elbowed and breathing in the sun-ripened vision of championships, who can say what the coming season will bring? I know only that they seem taller, older, tonight, and what is barely a whisper, now, will call them across those future Autumn fields. Waiting for the downbeat, they will hear it rustling through dry leaves, quiet before the crowds. Current Mood: tired Current Music: I HATE THE RADIO (2 Comments |Comment on this)

3:28 pm	first day ...was good! i got my classes pretty much the way i wanted them. it isn't a hard load but it is a good one: brit lit, natural history essays (honors seminar,) french 101, trumpet lessons and wind ensemble! and freshman focus. the business department is gay because they wouldn't let me skip microeconomics and take macro instead even though i'm an honors student and my father is a fulbright scholar economics professor. oh well. my phone number, by the way, is 503 473 3010, NOT 452 3010, as it says ON THE PHONE. to those of you who have tried to contact me at the latter number and have gotten the random guy who isn't me instead, i apologize. "garden state" is funny and sad and beautiful. i wish my nickname were Killer. Current Mood: happy Current Music: cavs- jupiter (3 Comments |Comment on this)

12:09 am	hello. still getting stuff together for college. nancy and i went on a big discount mall shopping trip yesterday and bought lots of dorm hooey... ...i'm not very excited... maybe it'll kick it soon. hope so. i don't like to say it, but i feel like holden caulfield kind of. it's like i haven't said goodbye enough and soon i'm going to miss these people. i'll leave yaz with the quote that i remember, "don't ever tell anybody anything. if you do, you'll start missing everybody." good night:) Current Mood: discontent (2 Comments |Comment on this)

10:12 pm	itsakadoozie today was my last day at the pool, too. i'm going to miss my morning shift. i liked getting up in the dark, sitting on the deck, drinking my coffee and writing my poems/shorts, jawing with steve or JB, watching the sky get light. it was a nice change. i hope i have an excuse to do something like that in college, or i know i never will. wrote these poems today; the second will probably change soon. MANIFEST for the DCHS marching band In the cool of evening practice, figures march in semi-silhouette. It is late and the sun is red, dipping slowly behind still-green trees. Throughout the darkened sky is the prickling electricity of change. Autumn will come, bringing with it crispness, colors, competition. Huddling up like athletes, close-elbowed and breathing in the sun-ripened hope of championships, who can say what the coming season will bring them? I know only that they seem taller, somehow, with dreams and that what is barely a whisper today will follow them onto every field; waiting for her downbeat, they will hear it rustling through dry leaves, quiet before the crowds. SPACE In that scientific space between two bodies, Love, (tired and satisfied,) sleeps, dark hair curling in tangles across her cheek. Current Mood: hopeful (15 Comments |Comment on this)

11:56 am	enough an interesting series of comments down there. anyway, i'm glancing over to my right, here, and noticing that my little sister will soon be sleeping on top on FOUR MATTRESSES. yes, because she is the cutest, and we're moving and there is nowhere else to put them. can anyone guess who's sleeping on the FLOOR DOWNSTAIRS? not daniel barton, that's for dangsure. ME, and this is at MY OWN HOUSE. i have, for some reason, begun posting like yale. Current Mood: busy Current Music: drilling in the basement.... (27 Comments |Comment on this)

8:41 pm	good staffing camp was fun. hope to work at central/somewhere next year, too, because it's a good job and i'm awesome at it. still dunno if i'm going to go by "chris" (my middle name) in college. i kind of tried it on during camp, and boy is it nice not to share the same name with ten other girls...still, i'm kind of stuck on "em." the kids at daviess county are very mature and they look/sound great. i think i'll miss 'em. central, beware! just kidding. gordo is doing well but he may not have the finesse that H does... he'll learn, though. brandon tagarook owes me ten bucks. partied the hell out of louisville last night (kind of) (thankyou yale) and got back a few hours ago. slept through Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels again. decided Snatch sucks because the dialogue is bad. called my roommate. Nadine. seems okay. not conservative, thank god. kind of tired and need to work out. come see me. 105 meadowlark dr. calling kat now.
