Yeah, so let's get the sad shit out of the way. Heath Ledger is dead. It's not like I knew him personally nor was I a huge fan of him, but I'm still sad that he died. In a sense, I'd rather he died from a bullet in the head caused by a crazed fan, not an overdose on drugs. It's just one of those things where it's sad how quickly someone you know can leave you. Heath was sexy though and a great actor. But tres sexy. So, peace out to you, Heath. I hope that it was worth it.
For more funny shit. Britt, Jen, Andrew and I went to Hofstra last night to get a little crunk and hang out. Twas funny. Jen brought a cheap bottle of wine and we had no bottle opener, so we decided to get more alcohol from the snazzy establishment Stop N Shop located in the village of Hempstead. I've been warned about going there after 8pm. We walked there at around 11pm in chilly weather. We get into the convenience store and we were the only white people in the store...with about twenty of one particular race of people...all staring at us. We get three forties and Andrew is holding them in his arms. In true Andrew fashion, he drops one and it breaks into a million little pieces (maybe more like eight or nine). We all stood there like this: =0 and the twenty of one particular race of people all start laughing at the 5'10" white kid with red hair and pea coat who shattered a bottle of alcohol on the floor. It was funny to hear them laugh at him. I could feel the eyes staring at us. We got away with buying the alcohol anyway, and we walked to my car and went to Stop & Shop (the actual supermarket) and got a wine opener...and chips and cookies (heaven forbid there were no cookies). Back at the dorm, we cheered eachother and began playing Taboo. I got stuck with fugly (like usual) and we lost (like usual). I will say that we lost two or three points because of my endless laughter at Andrew's stupidity. One of the cards said 'Oprah Winfrey' and he said "She's in the Color Purple. Wait, is she? I don't remember." Brittany tells him that she was and he's like "Oh yeah. She's the big black lady with an attitude." About six or seven cups in, I found this statement extremely hysterical, and with a mouthful of wine and laughter, I couldn't say Oprah. I spit it out in a package of cookies. Then we had another card that said 'sperm whale' and the first set of clues that he gave me were for sperm. I said sperm and then he claimed that these were big things in the water and I said tadpole thinking it was an enlarged version of sperm that goes in the water. I thought it was clever. A third card was 'hole in the wall' or something like that. And I got every word but "the" because he's dumb and I thought he meant something else. It was so funny how pissed he was at me and it made me laugh even harder. It was great though because my chest hasn't hurt that bad from laughing in a long time. =) I swear I"m good at Taboo. Just not then. haha.
I didn't get to bed until about 5:30am because I was listening to music. Some songs came on and they made me more awake than sleepy. Don't listen to 'Smells like Teen Spirit' at 4:30am when you're trying to sleep. It inspired me to write in this dumb thing, but I refrained in order to catch some z's. But my feet kept moving with the rhythym of guitars and drums. Nirvana is a drug.
All in all, the trip was successful. We all got sorta buzzed. We got to be as loud as we wanted. We didn't die in my car (from the wee itty bitty issue of having a tear in my front passanger tire). We had fun in the last week of me being home...at the school that I go to that will seperate us to begin with. Go figure.
I applied to SUNY New Paltz randomly today. Well, it wasnt totally random. I've been thinking about other options besides Hofstra, Geneseo being one of them because I'm already accepted for '08. Basically, I can't 1)afford Hofstra, and 2) Hofstra, even if I felt like taking out a crazy loan, isn't worth the money as much as another school would be. Yeah, it's a good school, but I can do better and if I'm paying for my education, I might as well get something hella awesome from it. I've been contemplating Geneseo, but I dont want that to be my only option. I've heard great things about New Paltz already, and Britt went to visit and she was listing why it was cool. Then, the best part: it's only two hours outside of the city which is so much better than being six or seven hours in Geneseo. I randomly applied and liked what I saw as the majors and campus and such. I like that it's a hippie school. Maybe I'll fit in there with the stoners, guitar players and tree huggers rather than the skanks, preps and good-for-nothings that I've basically seen swarming the Hofstra campus. No, it's not a bad school, but I feel that the people that I've become friends with there (as well as a few others) are the smart ones. Everyone else is there because their parents can afford it. Wastes of space much?
I want to be one of those chicks that is mentioned in songs from really cool bands. There are some bands that have a major influence from a chick. The heartbeat of the lyrics is because this girl is so great, or was so great and now she's gone. I want to be that girl that inspires such songs. I think it'd be cool. No, nothing gay like Delilah. Maybe a Maria from 'Mrs. Potter's Lullaby.' Or Michelle from The Beatles 'Michelle.' Even a Maggie Mae. It'd be pretty fucking sweet.
memories are films about ghosts.
