   My Dream
I saw him again. I didn't say anything. I didn't want to.

But I had a dream. I was with some guy. It might have been him, it might have been someone else, but all I know is that in the dream I was deeply in love with them.

We were talking through a mall and I was clinging to him (he was clinging to me too). We were talking about plans, like, "Come to this movie with me." "Let's go get something to eat." I have no idea what time it was... but it was during the day.

We ended up sitting in these seats and he said, "Hey, you know what? Let's make out and then we can go get something to eat." Very random, but we did for a little bit.

Then, outside on the streets, I said, "You know, I don't know your real name." He was walking a head of me by this time. "Oh. Really? Well, my name was Trent in the yearbook, but that's not my real name." And then he got further and further away.

Then my dad woke me up. =(

So, I know this much more about him now.

I just wish I knew his name.

My love affair with yahoo has begun. It's like a Mac, so incredibly user friendly (and we all know about my lovely, old Mac). (If you don't, backtrack quite a bit and I've written about it.)

I've even made an avatar of myself, which is perfect. It has my hair, eyes, a shirt that says Rock, and is holding a pair of drumsticks (I'm a drummer), and is in a China Town. How awesome.

Caleb sent me an email. It was all the ways you can misspell email.

I can't help but still love him, maybe not so much as a lover, but as a guy I'm lucky to know.

The Matt from the library has my lunch. I'm going to pretend I accidentally found him and say, "Hey, I miss talking to you, even if it was only for a few days. You should call me. Do you have a pen?"

I think it'll work. The only problem is he's a junior.

   Changes
I'm currently in the process of switching emails. I've been with hotmail for five years at the same address, but now they have the "Windows Live" shit which is useless.

Now I'm with yahoo. my address is blackadder_nine@yahoo.com

That's going to take up a lot of my internet time, moving old saved emails to the new email, but it has to be done. Be patient, my friends.

Love, Susan

It might take awhile to get this post up. The computer is being slow. Be patient.

What it is, yo? (God I'm going to miss Chelsea)
Hey, so yesterday I befriended this girl in our class who has been sitting by herself for a week now. Her name is Neda. And, guess what? She's originally from Bosnia. That's almost Russia, which is very cool.

I don't know what it is about me. I'm like a cultural sponge. Foreigners are just attracted to me like North to South on a magnet.

I added Nils and Anna to my myspace. Nils is still hot. Anna is still awesome. I miss them both even more now.

There were like nine people waiting for approval on my friend's list. I was like, "Who the hell are all these people?" But I accepted them anyway. My myspace kinda sucks. I neglect it. This site gets way more attention. Aren't you glad?

There's a hot guy in my third block. He wears American Eagle... and he has a lip ring. The next time I see that Matt guy from the library in the hall, I'm going to flag him down and be like, "Hey, I miss talking to you, even if it was only for a day. You should call me." I'm seriously going to.

And I'm going to talk to lip ring in third block, especially since he was eyeing me all block.

What I like about Matt Friction are his looks, his voice, and his piercing. His attitude is very much, "Fuck all ya'll", but, hey, he is a punk-rocker. You gotta give him that.

Later fools,

   PINK SPIDERS DAY IS TODAY! (At least in my mind)
Today is Pink Spiders day. They're the biggest thing to hit Nashville since... I dunno... sliced bread. I've been watching them for about three years now, and it's like the shit is hitting the fan for Nashville.

So, about today. Everything I'm wearing, minus my jeans, is Pink and Black, and striped as well. It's cool because everyone is supporting me about how amazingly into them I am. My Ecology teacher clipped an article for me (I already had it, but I didn't let him know because it was really nice of him. He said, "You know they're from here right?" I said, "Yeah. I've been watching them for years now. Aren't they awesome?" And my dad told me they were the main attraction of the Life section of our paper. And he listened to them with me and liked it.

"What group is this?"
"The Pink Spiders."
"Well, good for them."

I wish I had some Mineral water.

I'm taking an educational LOA from my job, which means I'll only be working on holidays and summer. Because I was going out of my mind last week. It was like I wasn't getting a single day of the week off. So, I talked to my GM, Eric the amazingly nice father-like manager, and he said he'd be sad to see me go. Amd Emely told me I was a lazy bum because she didn't want me to leave. It feels nice to be loved.

She might give us a puppy. Her boyfriend/fiance's dog had puppies, so she's trying to give them to good homes so they don't end up in a shelter. I told Dad, and he's thinking about it. Don't bother asking Mom. It'd be no, no, no.

Well, later ya'll.

Okay, so listen to this.

The date is August 2nd. The place is Barnes and Noble. The time is my lunch break. I'm debating whether or not to buy the electric blue journal in my hands. I hear my name, "Hey, Susan?"

I turn around to see.... who is that? I rummage through face files in my mind. I look him over, then it hits me. Danny Dimov from my old high school. (Becca, Danny Dimov!)I talked to him for awhile and the whole time was thinking, "OMG. He's so hot now. I'm amazed."

So, I talk to my friend Alex yesterday, and he says that he'll call him and get him to call me. He's thinking about trying to get us hooked up, but I told him don't stress that yet. I just want to hang out.

So, that made me very, very happy.

And that's the end of that for now.

Love (a little more to Becca and Michi!)

This was supposed to be up yesterday. Sorry!
Hey hipsters,

So, today I had quite some troubles with the locals in the library (a.k.a. the library staff, and one in particular). I don’t have a third block (well, I do now, but I didn’t at the time), so I was in the library. My name was called on a list of people to go to the gym and see someone because I was in his class. I got mad, because I was just starting to talk with Matt, the guy in the library, the guy I was talking about yesterday. So, I talk to the lady and she’s like a robot, telling me the same thing, not answering my questions, and acting like I’m a complete idiot. I say, “Okay. Fine. I’ll go.” So, I got my stuff, and was walking out and she said to go to the gym and talk to so-and-so, and I said, “Okay.” She said, “Have a nice day” in this “I don’t really mean it voice”, and I said, “Yeah. I’ll try to” in this “I don’t really mean it either” voice.

I met Courtney’s new exchange student. Her name is Nisrin and she’s from India. And she’s incredibly cool. We are very much alike, which makes me comfortable to be around her. So, let me go back to the gym thing. I went to the gym and they told me to go to room 221. I went to 221 and it was locked with the lights out. After that, I was fed up so I just went down the hall to the guidance office. I talked to someone (I don’t know any of them) and she told me to wait. Nisrin was in there, for the same reason I was. So we talked about all kinds of stuff, about how we are both single and don’t really want or need a boyfriend right now (sigh), how we’re going to the prom just to be going, and will probably go together as friends, about our siblings, about our day, anything. Then we sat down on the floor and played the box game. I won by three points, but it was just fun to be playing. When we finally got to our turn, the counselor said we were supposed to be in that class. So, we’re going to be in there tomorrow. Oh well. WHATEVER.

I’m just glad I have another class with Nisrin (and I’m sure she’s glad to have one with me.) We just don’t want to be alone. I like having a friend or two around in every class.

And that was my day in a long nutshell. I’ll never see Matt again, maybe. The last thing I said to him was, “I’m in that fucking leadership class” before I stormed off. I hope I see him again. I really do. (btw, Matt is the indie boy).

Mineral water is my new favorite drink. Try Focus. You’ll love it too.

From the “great and powerful wizard” of everything cool (you were expecting OZ?)

   New school year.
Okay, so I asked for the indie boy, and guess what? I got him. I don't have a third block yet, so all the kids with "holes in their schedules" go to the library. I sat with Jai, and the next table over, was the guy I'd been looking at in the hallway for the past two years. Well, he was looking at me all block, and I'm thinking about saying this to him today, "So, are we going to spend another day not saying anything to each other?"

Awesome.

Well, that's all I have time for today.

Love more than love, Susan

   The return of the Indie Rock Child
DEAR FAITHFUL FANS AND RIGHTEOUS READERS OF INDIE ROCK CHILD (and those who just happened upon this marvelous site),

Your subscription has NOT been cancelled, nor has it expired. It was delayed due to lack of internet. However, we here at Indie Rock Child – Nashville are pleased to inform you that daily editions are now available!!! The first five comments posted will receive a FREE picture of the Indie Rock Child, never before released onto any public domain! (Subject to me actually wanting to do that)

Such a dork.

ANYWAY, back to reality!

Returning from a long summer of short, pathetic diary entries, I first would like to say how ecstatically happy I am that I am returning to school. I got a glimpse of what the rest of like would be like after formal education, and, to be honest, I am not too crazy about it. You’re on a constant schedule, sometimes varying from week to week, and, maybe it’s just me, but you’re always worrying about when you need to go to work.

My sister turned 21 yesterday.

I feel increasingly optimistic about my chances with boys this year. So far, all I’ve met are boys I just think are cool, and when I see a hot guy at work, he’s normally pushing a pram, or holding a purse, which I sincerely hope means he has a wife.

I’m looking for a happy Conor Oberst. Calling all single indie boys with positive outlook on own lives.

I’m not asking for much.

I can’t remember if I’ve told you all that I’ve moved into a new room. It’s like I live in an apartment now. I love it. I will make a note to take pictures. Yes. I shall.

Old Navy rocks. Shop there and support my next check. HA! (In actuality, when you shop at Old Navy, you do not contribute to my paycheck. You only contribute to the company, who in turn pays me $8 American for each hour of hard labor I perform. Yes, my dears. I am imprisoned! And YES, I exaggerated a great deal!)

Aren’t you glad to have me back?

Until the next great interesting thing happens in my life, I will leave you to your thoughts, hopes, and prayers.

I love you and I also love that you love me.

-SUSAN (I think I should have a cool title at the end of my name, don’t you?)
