I went to a club last night called "Release the Bats" downtown. I met a bunch of my friends there, and we had a blast. At 2am the lights came on, and it sucked cuz it was like reality got turned back on. After that, me and my friends hung out outside for a while, then like a 3rd of the people in the club went back to my friend Chris's house and we had a party til like 5am. Then I went home. Everyone was asleep anyway. Parking is so bad downtown that I got my new friend K.-something (I cant spell her name!) & Christian to drive me to my car. Then I went to sleep til 11:30-ish.
After I woke up, I went with my mom to see "V for Vendetta", which is a really good movie set in near-future totalitarian Britain, and which has a very relevant social commentary about both the current political climates of Britain and America. The editing was very good, altho I am proud that I can now recognize a jump cut, from the scene with Natalie Portman's character in the rain. When the zoom in/ tilt down move cut to the medium shot of her, the camera should have stopped for a second before the cut, to make the transition from moving to static camera less jarring. Whoot! I learned something!
After the movie, we went to the bookstore, and I read manga in the cafe adjascent. I know there's a right way to spell that word...I read DearS for the first time. It was sort of a Chobits rip-off, 'cept the characters' personalities are slightly differnt. The guy in Chobits is pretty shy, and the guy in DearS is very forceful in his intention to have the girl leave. Chii is very shy and childlike, and the girl in DearS is more subservient, but also more grown up. I sorta liked it, at least enough to want to know what happened next. Caio! -

Sleepy day.
I ate fruit today. Blackberries & a couple apple slices from an apple pie. Also druid circle cookies, diet root beer, and cheese & deli meat on a cracker.
Was so dopey-headed I could barely move. This is the kind of day that's perfect for drinking iced tea on the beach, or feeling the wind on your face on the veranda of a nice hotel in San Pedro. I want to find to California I remember, the pretty scenes of boganvillias and casual hills scattered with houses, not the California I currently inhabit, with overcrowded houses, decrepit strip malls, and car fumes. I believe I need to visit...Malibu. I have noticed that California is being developed into nothingness, especially irvine. That tonw used to be empty 'cept the Spectrum, and now there are housing developments from Mission Viejo to Anaheim. I miss living near the Ocean. I dont mis my San Pedro apartment, but I'd like to see the Korean Friendship Bell again. It's a wonderful view. -

Lessee. Longish day. I learned that solder (pronounced sauder) will not stick black metal chains together. No way, no how. Oh, it will work. For 5 seconds, before they slip apart again. I had better success with glue, accidently gluing the chains to the object they were supposed to form by themselves, a giant novelty martini glass. So now, I need to buy the substance the glue bottle says removes it, xylem or something bizarre ii've never heard of. The one inch I have is sorta interesting, tho.
Alright, other that that, my weekend seems free. Got a few seconds, maybe even a minute, of usable footage shot for project 2 in film class. Aparently, Shoreline Village IS open at nite, altho the arcade is diserted. Never did get a shot of anyoone on the carosel while it was moving. Took a walk with Gary, my partner. Wonder if he thinks I'm cute/ Wonder if I''ll end up scoring with him. He's not bad looking, maybe a liyyle short. I need to get laid this weekend. Probably tomorow.... I have a few ideas...Maybe I'll call my friend Michelle and we'll go clubbing or something. I hope she doesnt end up feeling like I used her to go clubbing. Maybe I should just go by myself, but then I always end up going home alone, and at least if I go iwth a friend, I'll have a good tiem, sex or no sex.
Wonder what ever happend with V. She apparently moved out, but she hasnt called em in almost a month. IS she mad at me or something? Does she have any pot at the moment? Havent partied in SO long! Been working hard.....not really accomplishing much, since my grades still suck, but I have a lot of tension that needs relief, and alcohol just isnt the answer for me. Hashish.....awww......... -

tired
anyone near long beach know of a resturant that sells fried bananas and/or empanadas? God, someone brought empanadas to our night class potluck, and they were cold, and they were from a store, and they were SO good! Want some more....forgot who brougt them...must remember to ask next time
girls talking about fried bananas....a banana and a bowl of cereal was my lunch....i had a headache and didnt feel like cookinng.....i had soup for dinner, so thats like all the different food groups, I think....yum!
was gonna make fried bananas, didnt. maybe tomorow...how hard can it possibly be? and why is it that other than plain chicken or ground turkey, or soup, my cooking tends to suck? I made scrambled fish once! They....weren't supposed to be scrambled.
Why do I keep talking about food? I must be hingry. Hey! I stopped thinking about how much I hate college! Weee! Still hungry...cold..dont feel like cooking....dont think there is anything to actually cook in the house....maybe I could have cereal again...nah!
tired.....hands cold.....
when I came in, my FACE was cold! Usually my hands are icy at room temp, but my face NEVER gets cold! Thats how cold it was outside. Should have worn a warmer sweater. I planne on cutting messy foam for my class, but forgot it, so I ended up wasting the 3 hours watching other people work. I would have gone home to get it, but it's a 1 hour round trip, so that's like an hour and a half right there, so class would have been almost over. plus, I just didnt feel like it!
This one girl was making paper machier. Cant spell that...I havent had the best luck with that, but her stuff, you just dip the strips in water and smooth them over a mold, then wait to dry. Easy! Maybe I'll even go nuts tomorow and try to make my own paper mache with newspaper....hope all the newspaper hasnt gotten thrown away.....
tired
tired
busy day tomorwo
dont want to get up to turn the heat on, change into pjs, clean up for bed
continure to write in journal
as an item of interest (my fingers are so cold it hrts to type!) my 3d design teacher said I think in terms of fabric, like I treated the wire project like fabric (maybe like theread? didnt get that), and the shadow project I tried to make the foamboard fabric-like. She is right, tho/ I have trouble thinking more architeureally (no way i'm spelling that rite). I'm thinking of making my 3 objects (we had to pick an object 1-2 feet, then replicate with any material, and cover with any material, to show texture. one guy last semester made a hammer covered with rubber bands, another guy did a toilet seat covered with grass, and another with broken glass). I went to the mall, searched for 2 1/2 hours, found nothing, stopped by Micheals, found nothing, went to cost plus, spotted novelty giant martini glass, decided it was perfect, bought that and diet root beers (it was super hot earlier! how can it go from 80-40 degrees in one day!). Everyone thought it was so cool. The big fat bitchy girl said she would just make a margerita and drink it. I'm ure she would...
I'm think for the materials: popcorn, broken beer bottles, chains, pig skin, black vinyl. I think the pig skin might rot, but if I could pull it off, it would be the cooles thing ever. I know the teacher likes it when people make extras, so I figure if I show up with like 6 things when we were only supposed to do 3, I'll get a B for sure. Maybe....

so.....BORED!
I feel the icky that I only feel when left alone in the house all day. I vacuumed. I felt like it was the least I could do, since everyone else is so tense due to a dui in the family (not mine.)
Other than that, I need to get out more. Last year, I did something fun at least once a month, sometimes twice a month. I think it's normal to want to get out at least that often. This year, I think I've done lessee....
...party at kimba's....
...hollywood with v....
that was it. And it was the same weekend! I know since I put fun things on my calendar. I feel like I'm going crazy :(
Must.....do....something...fun. Lately, I've been spending my time rushing from obligation to obligation. I even went to 2 jobs interviews in 2 cities in 1 day. I need to move out, but I cant get a job without experience, and I'm not willing to work for free for 6 months as an "unpaid intern."
*groan* I HATE MY FUCKING LIFE!!!!!!!!
-rant over-
Must...put something positive...into journal....
OH! I re-started an amv I left unfinished months ago, and finished my track for the jjmep. So far, so good. I plan to finish all my amv ideas, so I can move on to doing mvs that I direct, maybe for local or indie band or something. But then, that would require that I get my shit together...
