an early night


it annoys me how when you press tab after typing the title, it jumps down to the goddamn labels.  what about the body of the post?  i'm not sure what sort of labels i'm going to need until i'm done, assholes.  

that said, the past few days have been quite eventful, to say the least, and in ways both expected and not.  this whole wedding shit has been made out to be a big goddamn deal, and yet, the rehearsal dinner tonight was really anything but.  as i described it earlier to my sister, i'm just doing and acting and looking like what everyone in the family wants me to.  at this point, i don't give a shit.  my hair is three inches shorter, my nails are manicured a nice girl shade of pale pink, sans french tips as my grandmother apparently finds them to be "wildly outdated", and per my mother's instructions, i can't be doing shots of vodka as it will result in my grandmother giving her shit.  eh.  the dinner started off quite awkwardly as my sister and i appeared to be the youngest, least trashy girls at the party of forty-five by quite a long shot, but we figured it out. i didn't much care for being hit on on two separate occasions, mostly because i made a goddamn effort not to look like the slutty, bisexual, drug addled cousin.  perhaps it will be better tomorrow at the actual wedding.  i don't really know why i care so much about looking like a good girl, but it has become strangely important.  

after dinner, all of us young folks, meaning my siblings and my cousin marc, the "preacher", brent, and marc's best friend, patrick, all went out on the speed boat and just drifted around and shooting the shit.  the sun was setting, it was about seventy five, and no one was on the lake, so it was quite pleasant.  i forgot how much i like being on the lake in summer.  at this point, i'm just sortof tired despite the fact that it's only eleven twenty yet.  jaleesa is probably going crazy at demf right now.  i hope so.  though if i recall correctly, it ends quite early.  whatever.  i hope she got some attention modeling them clothes to make the steep entry fee worth her while.  

for the past few days, i've been meaning to write an actually important, well as substantial as possible for me, i suppose, post, and just haven't gotten around to it.  rather, it's not even that i'm too lazy, i'm just in a constant state of self-doubt and never know what is actually relevant to all y'all.  it is, i guess.  ehh, i'll reconsider tomorrow, tonight has been too long already considering last night...AHHH THE PLANTS!!!!

wednesday evening

i know all of you are desperately concerned, so i just wanted to let everyone know that i do not, in fact, have bronchitis.  the allergist gave me some steroids so i can stop fucking coughing all the time.  this is good, though i wish i hadn't waited so long to go..

i'm at my house right now and it's eighty five degrees in the shade.  just a few minutes ago, i was standing outside on the front sidewalk and just looked out over the yard and the circle and thought about all the stupid shit i'd done there.  finally it feels like summer, and being here feels like the past eighteen summers.  it also makes me never want to leave the area, despite the fact that there are significantly more interesting etc places.

i'm killing time, waiting for my mother's new cd, the man previously known as cat steven's new one, to rip onto the computer.  here is my favorite crime watch published in this week's birmingham bloomfield eagle:

Phone stolen
BIRMINGHAM - A patron of the Palladium theater put his cell phone on his lap and 
watched the Star Trek movie. When he left, he realized that he had not put his phone back 
in his pocket so he went back to look for it, but it was gone. Later, police said, the man got
a call on a different phone from the unknown person who had his lost phone and wanted $150
in cash. Police said they set up a sting operation, but the person never followed through to 
return the phone.

Literally, that is the most interesting one in there.  
Usually the crime watch features headlines such as Young children frolicking happily
down sidewalk upset elder Birmingham resident or 
Birmingham Groves student is not invited to party on terms of his loserdom, 
sues for defamation of character or other shit like that. WHY THE FUCK ARE THE 
POLICE FOOLING AROUND WITH SETTING UP A STING OPERATION FOR A STOLEN 
PHONE?? probably because there were no parties to bust that night.

It's done. Off to Emily's lacrosse game and shit.

I know it's been awhile

Hi dan, mary, chanel, carrie, bess, and jaleesa. Bess, I just left you a great message. Mary, I just saw who you would've been had you gotten that chihuahua. Carrie, you are sitting across from me in the garage on the faux-suede. Chanel, it was nice talking to you at java hut earlier. Jaleesa, I bet your day is continuing wonderfully from the great afternoon we had. Dan, I saw an adorable baby black pug and thought of you.

Tonight is the eve of jon's twentieth birthday and we are sitting in chuck's garage. Eleven eleven and me and the guy I got an mip with two years ago are having a super nerdy but great enthusiastic conversation about psychology and science and I love it. Sometimes I forget how Much I actually care about the less superficial things and just thinking about interesting ideas and being need for cognition.

we're going to have fun, goddamnit

everyone is over for dinner at our house right now, and not unexpectedly, conversation at the dinner table quickly took a turn for the worse.  my cousin scott and his fiance are getting married in two weeks, and she brought up the fact that there are a lot of tattoos in her family that will surely be on display.  the conversation degraded quite rapidly as follows:

Chelsea:  My sister has some big tattoos.

Everyone discusses the possibility of Scott and Chelsea getting matching finger tattoos.

Mimi (grandmother):  Remember when [your cousin] Daniel had that thing (an eyebrow ring) in his face?

Everyone discusses how rude all the grandparents were about it.

Mimi turns to me.

Mimi:  Stick out your tongue.  Upon finding it to be tongue ring free, Oh good.

Leyla (aunt):  I don't really see the point to getting one except to...

All the grandchildren:  OH GOD EWW SICK AUNT LEYLA EWW EWW EWWW

Papa (grandfather):  What did they say?

Craig (uncle):  We're talking about tongue rings.

Papa:  Oh, I already knew all about that.

Everyone:  AUHLGJLK SICK GROSS AHH

Meanwhile, Papa is looking quite pleased with himself.  

Mom:  Papa is the biggest pervert here.

Emily:  We need to change the subject now.

Chelsea (cousin's fiance):  So, the cake was delicious.

Craig:  How about them wings?

Scott (cousin):  Quick, Michael, fart on someone to change the subject.

Good. God.

UPDATE

So we decided to play this game after dinner that was sortof like charades but with people's names.  Eliott Spitzer and Monica Lewinski were among the fifty or so cards.  Let's just say that I'd be perfectly happy to never again see a member of my family pantomime giving head ever again.  Also, my grandfather kept asking whose birthday it was.
