Neda, darling, I'm sorry I wasn't there on Friday. I told my dad to appologize to you for me. I was so worried about missing lunch with you. Really, I was. So, don't be mad at me.

I wish I had seen Phoebus fall out of a chair. God. That would have been great.

No politics. Ever.

Babyshambles forever, man. The best band in my collection right now.

Obscenely long, but good.
PLEASE READ ALL OF IT!!!

You know you’re a music junkie when you start checking your image in the back of a CD instead of a mirror. I just made that up because I just did that. Go me. (And you’re also a music junkie if you can find a CD beside you no matter where you are in your house.)

I’m going music shopping with my sister tonight. Yes, Lisa is in Nashville currently. That always means fun, fun, fun. Right? Right.

Shopping list: Baby shambles, Sean Lennon, Tenacious D: Pick of Destiny… and I really want to find a copy of NANA: the Movie that I don’t have to order online. That would just make my day, ya’ll. It really would. I watched the Japanese trailer the other day and almost cried. It was like watching Nana O and Nana K come to life! (Well, obviously, but…)

Nisrin is changing schools. I’m going to miss her strong bad. It’s not like she’s leaving the country, but I won’t see her everyday, and that’s just as bad.

I wonder if this could be considered a blog. Maybe I should include more insightful topics, or discuss modern politics (too bad I don’t like getting political). The only way I’ll talk about politics is if a particular subject in the news concerning a politician upsets me. And that happens way too much, so I don’t think I’ll be doing that.

I could talk about how much global warming pisses me off. Yeah. I could do that, but, then again, that would make me just like one of those idiot bloggers that have no lives and spend all their time complaining to the world. I don’t like stirring up a serving of tension, so I won’t.

Unexpectedly, I believe I did just that. I’ve made an idiot blog today. Just to prove a point, mind you.

I didn’t talk to Randall today. Oh well. Courtney told me that James told her to tell me (that’s annoying) “Hello, Mrs. Sands.” (That's Randall's last name.)

“And these are days we dream about, when the sunlight paints us gold.” – Bright Eyes.

I can’t help it. I semi-hate Bright Eyes now, but he was such a big part of my life not too long ago that it’s hard to say goodbye. And I do believe divorce is the permanent goodbye this time.

It’s actually getting pretty chilly in Nashville. It was 40 yesterday. And I was outside at LP field most of the time (Okay, it’s the flipping Coliseum. Jeez.) Courtney was all clinging to my arm as we walked around. We were trying to conserve body heat, but it wasn’t working too well. We were still freezing our asses off.

Transylvania. I have a tattoo on the inside of my lower left arm (about 1/4 inch from the “elbow pit”) that says Transylvania. It’s pretty random and so is the story behind it. We were/are reading Frankenstein and people kept talking about Transylvania. And I kept thinking, “Transylvania is DRACULA, dumbass. Wrong story.” But, sadly, no one can hear my terrible, terrible thoughts.

So I got a tattoo. Genius. (I wonder how many of you think this is a real tattoo and how many think it’s fake.)

I think Angela is becoming the reason I look forward to 2nd block. I don’t know whether it’s the interesting conversations we have, or that we might be becoming better friends. That means I’m kind of glad Collin decided she dead to him. (Harsh, but true, apparently.) She’s a cool chick and I think we share a mutual respect.


Sorry I wrote so much. I had a lot on my mind. But thanks to those of you who took the time to read it. I’ll try to repay the favor soon.

   So tired, I could fall over.
What you drinking, what you drinking baby?
(Yeah, baby, what you drinking now?)
Why are you sleeping in the backseat of your car?
Yeah, you got a big mouth and I bet you think you’re clever
But ain’t no one gonna cry when you die a dead rebel
Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody, baby.

Anyway, welcome back from my long absence, correct? Sorry I’ve been so long. Monday, I drove to TTU to check out the campus and the place I’ll be living in this fall. It’s so nice. I’m über-happy that we went ahead and put in our deposit and filled out all the necessary paperwork a week ago.

Randall. God. That boy (Kerecktion: man) is amazing. He doesn’t want me to call him perfect, but, right now, I can’t think of another word. He’s just want I’m looking for right now: i.e. a sweet, compassionate guy. And he’s got a major crush on me like a grade school kid.

James: Hello?
Me: Hey.
James: Oh, hello.
Me: Is Randall around?
James: *yelling away from phone* Randall, it’s your girlfriend.
Randall: *seemingly snatches phone* Hey, girlie. What’s up?
Me: Yeah, I was like, ‘This isn’t Randall.’
Randall: No, that was James.
Me: I know. I know who James is. Gosh.
Randall: Sorry! So, anyway… how was your day?

He’s super cute. Hopefully we’ll get to go out this weekend. I’ve got it all planned out how I’m going to spill the beans to my mom, and I guess dad (if he’s around), but I’m actually hoping mom will tell him.

We had a conversation about how I’m probably going to kill myself on the cheap strip of lollopops I got from Dollar Genearl. I thought they were going to be good because the Valentine’s Day ones are great, but these are grape, completely solid, and nasty. Like cough syrup nasty. But I kept eating the one I had while I was on the phone. I said I must be stupid, but Randall said I couldn’t say that.

What? Sometimes I am stupid. I do a lot of dumb stuff.

I’ve never had these feelings before. I’ve never called a guy everyday (if he doesn’t call me first) and talked for an hour. I’ve never had a guy my mom was actually wondering about. It’s insane. I think she’ll like him. Everyone does. Randall is a great guy. He’s worried about my dad, though. He keeps saying, “ I wonder if your dad will even like me.” I told him he should worry more about my mom. (But, then again, I’ve never had a boyfriend quite like Randall.)


HOLY (Insert catch phrase here)! This is NOT going to be all about him! I’m sorry!

I didn’t get to stay with “my kids” yesterday. I had to go to a 2nd grade class. Boo. But at least those kids can read, however slowly. I did see my kindergarteners in the hall, though, and that was nice. I got hugs and waves and pretty smiles. I love those kids.

Today, we went to LP Field (or the colliseum, obviously). I got to go in the Titan's locker room. It was nice. I'll try to post pictures. It was fun.

-Susan, I’m bringing sexy back.

   Brrr.
I talked to Randal for about an hour yesterday. I told him about my foot and how I had a "sexy limp". He laughed and said, "I don't think I've ever heard anyone describe it as a sexy limp before." I said, "Well, it's sexy because it's my limp. It's the kind of limp people bust up their knee for."

I have to talk to the Freshman today. That's gonna suck majorly.

It's cold this morning.

I didn't do my homework. Oh well.

Angela is the shit. I love her.

Blah Blah Blah.

Missed yesterday!
Okay. I want to try to get maybe "Steady as she goes" by the Raconteurs, or maybe "Lovers in the Backseat" by the Scissor Sisters, or "Modern Swinger" by The Pink Spiders..... Thanks!

I stepped on my phone today and it stabbed my big toe. I have one of those big black rotary dial phones from the 50s, or whatever, and the metal part that keep you from dialing too far went staright into my skin.

Now I've got a limp. It's awesome.

I'm adding that to the "I got punched in the mouth today... That's awesome!" (It was a hard play punch from Angela and I laughed all day about it.)

I've got my housing application sent in and my admission forms for Tennessee Tech. I'm so happy.

Can you tell?

Yesterday, I got here early and walked the kids at Bellshire to school. I missed first block (WHOO-HOO!)but I also missed my internet time (NOOOOO!). My "little girl", Kashaunda, was there. She didn't walk to school, but I still saw her. She's the kid who always me to help her and her alone.

She's adorable though, so it's cool.

Anyway,
Susan

   WHOA!
Okay. You know how you said that frogs are a symbol that you're going to go out with a Chinese guy? (And that was probably a joke, but worth it all the same) Well, as of last night, I am!

Randal called me last night, but I didn't get to call him back until an hour later because my dad didn't tell me he called until then. I don't have Randal's number, so I couldn't call him. I had to call Courtney, who just so happened to be at his house (her boyfriend, James, lives with Randal and Chris). So I got to talk to him.

"I didn't have your number, so I had to call Courtney."
"You don't have caller ID?"
"No."
"Really?"
"I'm talking to you on a rotary dial phone. Really."
*Laughs* "Oh my god. Wow."

We talked for about thirty minutes before he said, "I was wondering if mayb sometime I could take you out on a date." I laughed. "Yeah. Sure." I mean, wasn't that the reason we were calling each other? He's such a nice guy, and he's really funny.

I love Randal.

Now, if I were to ask one of you to look up a song for me, could you send me the link so I could put the music on my site? Puh-leeeeeeze? (Und Danke!)

Don't need another swatch!
Mateo, I became a geisha when Michi said I was the pink geisha in her picture of the two geisha. Ha ha. She's the blue one.

Pink is one of my favorite colors.

There was a frog in the entrance to my dad's hallway (outside door). I took a picture. I think that's a sign that something is going to happen.

And to take things a little fairy tale stupid, maybe it means my prince is right around the corner. HA HA! Yeah right.

James said that Randal said if I'd give him a chance, he'd try to go out with me. Randal is the nice Chinese guy who poured me some ginger ale at Courtney's party and gave me his seat when there weren't any left. We also met the night I went to James's house after the fair.

It's gonna take some thinking on that before I make a decision.

My dad gave me his watch to use until I get one (my old watch is on it's last leg, I fear). It's cool. It's one of those watches you get when you're in the army. Hopefully, I'll have my semi- Tag Heuer watch. I want one like Steve McQueen had. That's a sexy watch.

Hält fest, während sie geht (Steady as she goes)

Later Fools, Susan

Bwah-ha-ha
I haven't put the pictures up, but I will very soon! They're of two characters in a story I'm working on. (Actually, two different stories)

Today, I don't have to do much in third block, so I'll probably be on here. I doubt any of you will, but it's good to keep an open mind.

"For Glory, God, and Gold, and the Virginia Company." I love that saying. It's so cool. (And, yes, it is in a song from Pocahontus, but it's also a real saying from around that time.)

-Susan, the greatest little pink geisha in the entire world ;)

   Everyday is a gift...
Things that mean a lot to me: My sister Lisa, my grandparents, (pretty much my family first), my hybrid religion, friends, respect,... funny looking animals.... good erasers.... hair ties.... Nana.... lol.

The kids got ketchup on my pink Fender shirt yesterday. I was like, "Great. Thanks for asking me to open your ketchup when it was already open." But those kids are so awesome.

This little girl makes me want to adopt a little black girl. She was adorable.

I woke up late today, but oh well. I'm still here. I'm just more tired. I don't get it. I sleep later and it's like I've gotten up earlier.

I wanted to hit my sub in Ecology yesterday in the head with a blunt instrument. I just wanted him to shut up because I had a headache and he was annoying.

I still haven't finished any of my homework.

But I drew two new pictures. yay me.
