Well, I've finally done it.
I made a new livejournal for myself. http://sahfasagan.livejournal.com/. It's not fixed yet, but it exists.
Goodbye.

"I see within the range of only about thirty percent of the light that comes from the sun; the rest is infrared and some little ultraviolet, perfectly apparent to many animals, but invisible to me. A nightmare network of ganglia, charged and firing without my knowledge, cuts and splices what I do see, editing it for my brain. Donald E. Carr points out that the sense impressions of one-celled animals are not edited for the brain: 'This is philosophically interesting in a rather mournful way, since it means that only the simplest animals perceive the universe as it is.'"
-From the book Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, which is fucking blowing my mind right now. It reads like the journal of someone experiencing nature after consuming mushrooms. Funny I'm reading this for a class, but every page so far has something that reminds me of something I've experienced, so much so that it's sad and beautiful and I need to step back and laugh at how much stuff runs through my mind sometimes.

On a lighter note, I registered for classes yesterday, I lucked out with a sweet date, but unfortunately almost every schedule I came up with was impossible due to overlap... I was going to try and do 5 classes but then I remembered how much work I have NOW, and I only have 4... I decided to take all the HA classes at once, it works easier for me that way to just keep focused on one major at a time. After next semester I will only have one more class to take until I'm done with my Art History major requirements! But I still have like 10 for PitE... anyway without further ado:
Monday
11:30 am-1:00 pm HISTART 351 Michelangelo seminar (ULWR - ugggh.)
Tuesday
9:00 am-10:00 am BIOLOGY 281 Ecology
1:00 pm-2:30 pm HISTART 376 Dada & Surrealism HOORAY!
2:30 pm-4:00 pm HISTART 214 Intro to African American Art (fills my grid, hooray!)

Not much to say, because I'm really tired, and because there isn't much going on.
Thursday I took a midterm, got a midterm back, went to the library to study for a midterm...
Friday I went to office hours, spent 5 hours at the library, ate dinner at Theresa's co-op, avoided creepiness, went back at 9 for my one night of freedom this weekend. ( We got wasted as usual )
Nicole and Elektra came over which was fabulous, and later Blake, Theresa, and Kyle... we decided it would be hilarious to go to Sigma Phi rolling like 12 deep, and it was, especially when I saw a purposefully forgotten person from my sophomore year rebound-bender playing in a band that I didn't even know existed anymore... hilarity. Ended up going to Linden for something? with Kyle's friend Alex who is from SOUTHFIELD woot woot, made it back in time for Big Ten but too late for cigarettes :(
Woke up waaaay too early at nine, finished one of my History books and began another, drank a beer or two while watching the game - pretty boring game, especially with yet another Hart injury, but we were victorious, which is always great. Then my dad picked me up to drive me around for shopping errands, probably my least favorite thing EVER... My parents haven't bought me clothes in like 3 years and I needed a fall jacket (check), puffy vest (check), and well that's it... I still need to get some boots for winter, some new Saucony's or other everyday sneaks, and my whole Halloween ensemble. I hate shopping, especially because I'm broke, and ESPECIALLY because I have NO style whatsoever. I need to go on How Do I Look? just so Finola can tell me what the fuck I'm supposed to dress like. Came back and to my delight the Pistons exhibition game against Miami was on... it was really fun to see my boys again, I feel like I was reunited with my good friends from the summer, and it was also hilarious to see Darko in full flailing effect, and all the other C-list Pistons, including the 1st years and the 18 year old draft pick, he is so damn YOUNG looking it blows my mind. I really want to go to the Sixers game, wish I had a car... blah. Also watched hockey but I am really out of the loop on which players we even have still... all I know is Brendan Shanahan is just as hot as he was when I wanted to marry him in 7th grade, and Lilja, whoever the hell he is, is even fucking hotter... decided I should just settle down with a European professional athlete, good idea?
All Quiet on the Western Front is a really amazingly depressing book, and luckily very easy to read. After reading half of it I'm going to crash because I have more work than I even know how to tackle for tomorrow... so sick of midterms. Luckily all of the work is keeping my mind off of how emotionally and mentally fucked up I am right now, so that's good I guess. I'm also calling off work with the midterm excuse, hope I don't get fired... hah, hah, hah.

Right off the bat I am giving a preemptive sweeping apology if I am short with anyone in the upcoming weeks... I am incredibly stressed out, I have a midterm and takehome essay the 20th, an outline of a 9 page paper and another midterm the 24th, and a 9-12 and 6-7 page paper both due on Halloween. So I'm basically in the scramble to catch up on readings and gather sources and stuff right now and it's driving me craaaazy. I actually did a lot of catching up today so I do feel good that I accomplished something AND did my homework AND went to office hours AND spent 2 hours in the library researching. Oy.
In other news... well that's it. I can't wait til this weekend, which means tomorrow night. I'm going home Sunday night until Tuesday night to see my folks/buy costume stuff/do laundry/steal food. Whee!
A little break from reading:
Go to google.com
type in "[your name] needs"
put your favorite 10 here and pass it on.
-Julie needs to do something about her ‘unusual physique’ – looks terrible.
-Julie needs a team of committed people to pray for her and her ministry.
-Find the amount of wrapping paper Julie needs to cover the box completely.
THIS IS AMAZING! - But Julie needs some real hands-on comforting as the anniversary of that first killing spree is drawing near.
-Julie needs a top that barely skims over the hips without pulling too tightly over the tum. (sounds about right)
-Julie needs a permanent home now.
-The only medication Julie needs now, nearly a year later, is a sleeping aid to counteract persistent insomnia.
-Julie needs money from Jimmy to pay for China, Caitlyn’s pony. HILARIOUS!
-Julie needs something special like a trip to the bathroom.
-Julie needs cash. She's desperate.
Heeheeheeeee...
23 DAYS TIL JARHEAD!

Update time.
Friday was my first day off work and school in like a month. My new friend Anthony came over and we went shopping at People's Food Co-Op and Whole Foods, because we're both going vegan. Hoorah! Got some delish stuff, he's a very cool kid, 'twas a good time. Then I cleaned, did laundry, etc, went to Meijer and bought Cinderella now out on DVD. Had some Bacardi left which we drank, a bunch of Sara's friends came over and chilled and then went out, then I went to Jamie's because they were having a party. Saw Nicole and Robby there, and of couse Suzie and Katie, stayed until the keg went away, then came back home to meet up with everyone. We then took a cab over to... who knows where by Washtenaw, crashed some lame party, stole all their beer, met some sweet chicks drinking Hennessey and giving me shots of it, went upstairs to a crazy bar/xmas light room, somehow stumbled home with Kyle.
Saturday we woke up, drank leftover beer while listening to amazing music such as TLC and Mariah Carey, I had this really good Pumpkin Ale yummy, but it was only 4, then we decided to go try and sell our tickets on the street halfway through the first quarter... we couldn't so we gave them to random people taking down tents and stuff. Got some more beer, came back, drank, wanted to commit suicide after the game was done, I had to go work until 10, then we all rode w/ Sara to Danielle's brothers party in southwest Detroit, which was completely retarded, but lots of beer, I danced with/kissed some cute dude with no further intentions, we all got sexually harrassed and eventually left and ate breakfast at 7:30am and slept on Sara's floor, then I had to come back to A2 to work and it was the WORST 6 hours of my life.
This week I've slept through almost all of my classes... I set two alarms but I guess when I get this depressed it's just an unconscious thing to refuse to get up. Luckily my week has had some cool stuff happen like seeing the preview for JARHEAD on TV... and pretty much being obsessed with Jake Gyllenhaal... because I'm a loser... and I actually have gotten work done, which is new. I have a paper and two exams next week after break :(
Last night I had some (semi-pot-induced) epiphanies about myself and the break-up and basically making sense of everything from a more objective point of view. Nothing I want to share in a public forum but things that I wish I could have thought about logically 9 months ago instead of just jumping into stuff... but we say that every time, don't we? It never works that way.
On one last note, tonight's Nip/Tuck was fucking insane, this is for those of you reading who I know watch it religiously like me :) Every week I wonder who's life is going to go down the tubes. I cried twice - once when they were taking Annie, once when the old lady wasn't recognized (but we all knew she wouldn't be) by her husband. She was so cute! Also I am TERRIFIED of ever getting surgery now after that fraud-carver girl was conscious, hearing her voice the whole time we were so freaked out we had to mute the TV and just yell really loudly because it was so disturbing. I find myself screaming out loud at least 5 times each time I watch it. FUCK YEAH. Also I knew they were going to accuse Christian because during the first episode, the preview for the upcoming season, they were talking about someone who's self-absorbed and misogynistic and stuff, and I'm like dude, they're talking about Christian being the carver... so I can't wait to see what happens. And I have all of Season 2 on my computer so I've been watching that too... I can't get enough. Wow my life revolves around a TV show, I am a fucking lameoid.
Time to DDR it up!

Life is awesome. Except for how today is the only day I haven't set an alarm clock for work/class in like a month, but I woke myself up at 10am coughing my damn lungs out and now I can't even lie down or I just start coughing uncontrollably.
So. Weekend update time :)
Goals are for wimps, game is for losers, I have natural drunken word vomit that is sooooo funny and well, makes it happen for the most part. Speaking of Word Vomit, I finally have my Halloween costumes planned out, I am so excited!!!! On Friday the 28th, me, Lauren & Stephanie from work, and another blonde we haven't figured out yet, are going to wear the Xmas costumes from MEAN GIRLS. I'm being Gretchen WEEEEEINER! Then on Friday when Steph goes up to State (to be Audrey in Breakfast), me and Lauren are being Tai and Cher from CLUELESS... we just need to find our Dionne! We'll probably wear the cover clothes... althoguh I would rather rock the memorable Tai outfit from the party with the overalls and that stupid shirt she keeps fiddling with... but having a dionne would just make it all that much sweeter. It'd be really fun to have any other characters too (Christian? Amber?)...
ANYWAYS.
Friday night was amazing. I stopped at Blake's on the way home from work, he has a robotic dinosaur named Roger which is the coolest thing ever. Drank a beer and some whiskey and headed on my merry way to go home, realize my housemates weren't going out, drink 2 rum & cokes and watch 2 nip/tucks (I downloaded season 2 finally) and then go back to Blake's to pick up Theresa - we were going to head to the very EQ-chick party on Lawrence but we didn't because it was freezing and most of the people I talked to said people from that party were coming back to his party... It was then that I met a girl who lived w/ her boyfriend ACROSS THE STREET from me, on Shagbark, in highschool... she knew my car, my parents, my dogs, just from being there like every day... pretty fucking insane. Blake's was cool because it was an actual party this time :) But alas, I decided to leave with Theresa and Haze to go to a party on Prospect that Jamie was at... and boy was I glad I did. 1992 was the theme, the music was insane, and well, I don't remember a lot of things, but I remember a feeling of joy, and Tom the German, who I ended up going home with along with Suzie and Brendan and some other cool cats... sleeping in one of those NASA tempurpedic mattresses... not that I really slept more than from the hours of 6am to 9am. And the best part is, the morning after, he had to fly back to Germany...! Good shit. After that notch on my belt, I had to wake up and go to work, and I thought I was going to die from being so hungover all day :(
I got to watch the first half of the game here but I had to finish at work, blah. I don't think anyone understands HOW MUCH I LOVE MIKE HART, well maybe they do, but I FUCKING REALLY DO, so the game was the best one I've seen in a long ass time. I decided to just take it easy yesterday night, which doesn't mean anything really because we did our usual pregaming here then went to Allan's birthday party - I think it's the first night I've only gone to ONE party. Anyway I brought a bottle of champagne, which I toasted Allan with at midnight, made about 20 people drink, and it definitely kicked my drunk from sociable into mentally retarded... delish. Joe played my mix CD which was amazing, including Kylie, Bloodhound Gang, PUSA, and Kris Kross. Also it was kinda weird because Noah was there with his friends, I figured that might happen, but for most of the time I was too drunk to care, then I decided I was okay to talk to all of them, so I guess it's okay.... just weird I guess... blah. Also Kate Gymrek was there - my friend from Waldorf/Berkley who I haven't seen in like a year, she looked great and was fun as hell to hang out with all night, she's moving with our friend Joe to Chicago so I'll definitely be visiting them sometime, also we made Ben Schottenfels come over for a little, and uh... well in general a lot of random people were there and it ruled. But I did break my promise and devoured some BTB on the way home... damn I'm a fatty. We're gonna get really sick of the "Turtle, you're a dove" and "You're gonna spin off this planet" episodes of Entourage, we've probably watched them the last 6 times we've come home wasted.
Gonna try and lie down now... then probably watch either of my Halloween movies for inspiration :) Too bad Thalia is already being Poison Ivy for halloween, she'd make a GREAT Lindsay.

A lot of sweet (and not so sweet) stuff has happened this week. In summary:
- Blake's birthday (big 2-0) was Wednesday. A small group of us went to Seva in celebration, he got a free meal, we got a huge amount of delicious overpriced veggie food, full tummies, and chocolate cake back at the house.
- Fall came. Blech. Starting to make me a little depressed. I love hoodie weather, there was about 3 days of that. Now it's just cold. Fuck Michigan - I've said it every year probably since I was out of middle school (when I stopped being a kid who could just bundle up and go sledding) but, I need to move.
- Last night was the greatest night ever. Sara came to Against Me!, and I'm really glad because we had a silly ol' time. We drank and talked in her car in the parking lot (high school much???) before the show, then went inside with perfect timing, met up with Blake, Theresa, Kyle, Dexter... Theresa is 21 so we made her buy us a drink cause she loves us and she's amazing :) Of course we got deep into the pit right away, I don't think I've been in a pit in a couple of years except for Against Me! shows of course, and I didn't even mind because I was screaming my head off and covered in my and other people's sweat and pretty much having the best time ever. I want to say that the set was shorter than I expected - then again, time flies when you're drunk and sweaty. All I remember is T.S.R, Cliche Guevera, uhh, now I'm remembering how drunk I was, uhhh, Rice and Bread???, Pints of Guinness, We Laugh at Danger (I always fucking love this crowd singalong... damn), Reinventing Axl Rose... did they really not play Walking is still honest or baby I'm an Anarchist? Well, that sucks, Walking at least was always a staple of the show... but I digress. Did they play Those Anarcho Punks? Am I even asking anyone? What the fuck. From Her Lips to God's Ears, Violence, Justin, Problems, Don't Lose Touch... lots of new stuff. I think I just kept yelling "35%" even though I know they'll never play it. Well, in sober retrospect, they should have played more shit from Axl Rose. I miss old AM! :( And it was so damn crowded and obnoxious. Yeah yeah, I'm gonna be one of those old-school shit-talking fans, I can see it now... Anyways then we bowled pretty horribly for a little bit, then we went back to A2 where the town was pretty much dead considering it was FREEZING outside. Fuck that! We decided to listen to the entire Something to Write Home About cd while drinking rum & coke, cause we're fucking sweet. We went to some party way the fucks away by Yost, Jamie et al were there, then we came back and did a BTB run on the way (that show worked up a fucking appetite)... watched our 2 favorite episodes from Entourage season 1, which is pretty much becoming our end of the night/passing out ritual... "We're evolving - Turtle, you're a dove."
- It's that part of the semester where I actually have to start doing reading/work. October is the month of papers and midterms and it LICKS. Today is the only day I don't have to set an alarm for work/class. But I have a 9-12 page research paper on Islamic Spanish fountains due on Halloween... what the hells.
- Everyone in my damn discussion commented on my dark hair... except Gael boy. Who I haven't even said a word to. I'm doing a disservice to the entire female population of Michigan by not trying to be his friend, but he IS a chochling.
- Tonight Blake's having a party, which I may actually attend this time :) Tomorrow, State game and Alan's birthday party at Joe's! Exciting.

Well fuckity fuck fuck... the weekend is over. Sunday is the most depressing day. I always put off everything until tonight, and I had to work today so I'm just now starting to do my reading, and it's awful... History sucksssss. The lectures are good, at least. Anyways.
Thursday night... I didn't eat anything all day, drank about 4 drinks at Jamie's and then puked it all up. Not that fun of a night.
Friday night, pre-gamed here as usual. Theresa came over and we went and got Blake and went to her co-op on Thayer, then to another one where I saw Zoe, then to a party on Ann and Division... it was a sweet house, we were there last year, but the music was not as good at all. Everyone from our and Jamie/Suzie's house came over. Reeeeally yummy beer that never ran out. And it was super East Quad, but a lot of people that I didn't mind seeing too, so that was alright. Unfortunately I have no game and made a damn fool of myself. I should not be let out of the house when I am sexually frustrated because I have no skills and I fail miserably at even talking to people... So let's see, I embarrassed myself in front of a hot ex-GSI, my guy friends, my camp friends - it was a total mess, basically. I'm not sure if I even had fun.
Last night after that embarrassing game, we got a keg and threw a party. It was weird because a bunch of people would show up at once, then leave after a bit, then another huge wave, this kept going on for like 3 hours... This cool kid Ryan who was at camp came over, I'm a big fan. Sweena and Bentley from the S&B came by extremely wasted. Also Hannah and Mike came over looking awesome, I miss Hannah, she's the shit. Some hot freshman scenesters and a hot German guy were also in attendance, as well as some creepsters. And of course Lisa, Nicole, Joe, Theresa came over to cause some trouble. Once again however I failed at my new goal - I'm not sure if the new hair is just that unattractive, or if I don't succeed when I'm thinking about it too much or trying too hard, or if I wasn't drunk enough to lose all my standards... but really, how come last week when I don't really care, I make out with like 4 people, and now when I'm going insane from celibacy, I can't even get a guy to talk to me? Being single has quite a few downfalls, this weekend being an example of just one of em... At least I have my ladies and sweet sweet 90s dance music
And Entourage season one came in the mail... holy crapppp I watched the entire thing (which, by the way, is ten times better when you're blown out of your mind) in like a day and a half and all I have to say is, Turtle, you're a dove. And Gary Busey, holy fucking crap. And Jo-Jo the dog faced bitch boy.
Coming up this week, Blake's birthday and Against Me! and then the State game... should be a good one.
So the real question is: What should I be for Halloween?

Last night was the best night of my life.
It was my first time for many things... but most notable, seeing Sigur Ros. I'd try and explain (well I did in this quiz thing) but it's really just... something you have to experience in your life. Then I saw people I didn't expect. Then I saw Nip/Tuck. Then I was friendly to certain someones. Pretty much the most insane night ever.
All I did today was read read read and I want to kill myself. Today is Hump Day, and I will promptly hump Hannah's leg as soon as I see her because she's in town from NY... yay!
For the first time in a while I have more than enough money to pay the bills. And I bought most of my books myself. This is pretty exciting to me! Well not really, paying bills sucks...
Now I have to go meet with a girl for class. GROUPS ARE THE DEVIL. I'd rather just smoke. Oy.

i saw them last night and i can say i have never felt that fucked up (in a good way) from seeing a concert in my entire life. i feel like i just did shrooms eight times and i just want to kill myself now because that was the high point of my life, it's all downhill from here. things that remind you that the world is basically good, that there is true beauty in some things, that you're not the only one who feels a certain way when you hear music... - the cure:
