Jeremy Laurin reunion - yay! I miss Jeremy so much <3
Xmas season - busy. Presents, kids, parties, alcohol. >_<
Alice memorial - unsatisfying. didn't actually spend much tiem focused on alice. brought up thoughts about friendship, growing apart, the way friendships were in highschool and how I miss those.
New Years - swear this holiday is overrated, but still went out and drank.
Also, I bought a DVD set of LOST. Man that show is sooooo good. It's the first season, so I miss Anne, on who's laptop I originally watched it on. But I found out my awesome friend at work (Sara) likes Lost, yay!
Anyway...yeah. Happy Ten. |

So...anyone who's been on facebook...knows...
Ugh. I have no words. Or so many that they don't make sense.
I can't believe that I've lost my mom, my dad, and one of my best friends from high school and I'm barely 25 years old.
On Sunday morning I was content and optomistic for the day, I was eating Mitsuwa bakery while watching a good movie. I had plans to clean my room and organize papers and go out to buy Chistmas treats for people.
Then I answer the phone at like ten to 11 and hear a voice say "Helen-Kate?"
And it Amanda and she told me Alice was dead... (the tears are welling up as I type this).
I've already gone from depressed to that apathy to life which follows depression... and now I just have this horrible feeling of exhaustion combined with a shaky unexplicable anxiety coursing through my veins. I haven't had any nightmares yet like when my mom died, so I'm very relieved about that.
I'm working on a collage of photos of Alice for the memorial we're having at Shani's house, and that's a little consoling. The numerous trips to Kinkos and the library the project is giving me (since I don't have a scanner or a printer) is at least keeping me too busy to mope around. And of course there's work, of which I must go to every day until Christmas.
It'll be really good to see Kendall and Shani and Amanda and everyone again. Nathan is also coming, and that makes me really happy since debate team was so important to Alice. |

Ah, Halloween was so fun! Me and Jenny wandered out with just about no plan and ended up having a great time, despite the cold.
Highlights:
-Somehow we hit the end of happy hour, and had five rounds of drinks for about as many dollars each.
-We said something to the people at the 102.1 tent at Hooligans that they really liked, and ended up getting free CDs (mine was the soundtrack to "Whip It!" featuring the song "Sheena is a punk rocker" which, of course, makes me think of Sheena.), free T-shirts, and free movie passes to... A Ewan McGregor movie! Yaaaaay!
-Cheese Fries at Hooligans that were so good and which I am going to try to recreate at home using the same sauce and garnishes.
-Some random house party of Carroll people I didn't recognize....but the dog there loved me and kept snuggling me!
-Eggplant fries at pizza shuttle. Mmmmm.
Jenny was the 1580's and I was the 1980's. Sweet.

So Angie and I were Googling the Christian Bale rant. I don't remember why. Somehow related to that movie that they filmed at the Historical Society, which we had just seen a commercial for. (I am so excited to see it,)
On the side panel, in the related links was some kid named David talking about Christian B. and out of curiosity we checked it out. Turns out he's a YouTube mini-celebrity, for this freaking HILARIOUS video entitled "David After Dentist."

So, I'm going bananas because my Korean chick BoA released an American album (http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vdWZhbnouY29tL3RlYW1zL3RyYWNraW5nLmFzcD90aT0xNDE0Jm1pPTE0OTI4OA==) and I can't believe that one of my peeps is trying to break America and doing reasonably well (number 5 on itunes isn't too bad right?)...
And then there's a random song by a Korean guy that I love named SE7EN, "Girls" feat. Lil Kim, and I don't know if it's gonna do well either but I'm lovin it...
And THEN I hear an R&B song on KISS FM called "Baby Come Back to Me" that has a very familiar voice, but being exhausted I don't process it and just go to bed...
And later find out OMFG IT"S UTADA!!!!!!! THEY'RE PLAYING UTADA HIKARU ON F'ING KISS FM!!!!!!
* @_@ * @_@ * @_@ *
She's most famous to non-J-pop-holics as the singer of "Simple and Clean" from Kingdom Hearts. She sounds a bit ethereal but she's got a lotta soul.
So, yeah, Helen is uber happy!!!! Woooooooooooooooooooo!!!!
Also, dorky beat box is funny:

I hope some of you realize that if you never EVER comment, some of you have added me and NEVER commented ONCE, and I'm saying stuff like "Oh I'd like to jump off a bridge. Where are all my friends?"...and you don't comment "buck up" but later you'll gossip about what I'm up too.
Good luck with that, mate. I'm gonna be friends locking all the good stuff ^_^
ps, those who comment once in a blue moon, but make effort on some level...i don't mean you lol. |

I think I want to change my major to Writing/Journalism. Not only would it be a preparation for book editing if I wanted, but I also fit in much better at the newspaper than I do in the education department. All of my friends and colleagues are writing majors, and it's mostly yuckies who are English teacher majors.
And the only change would be is that instead of having a minor that has as many classes as a major, I would just have another major.
And yet teaching seems like the nice safe choice.
Hmmmm. |

So the activities board sponsored this weird trip where you pay a dollar and get a yummy evening at a french restaurant.
Anastasia invited me to go, and the name was "Coquette Cafe" so i thought it would be some cool coffee shop.
It was actually a bistro in the third ward, with really nice decor and little candles on the table!!! The main course was Salmon with amazing pork wine sauce, and then there was mousse for desert. Jenny couldn't eat fish and they were really nice about it. They brought her some amazing dish. And Anastasia got white wine for free!!!!
See, i can write a positive entry for once. And isn't my icon totally cool???? |

i found this in April when i was looking for my Rhea poem: "ok i have just decided that i WILL lose ALL the weight by Septemember. " ha ha ha!!! good luck with that, Aprilhelen.
Anyway, here is the Rhea onomotopeoa thang
My friend Rhea is an onomatopoeia
Jenny took her phone, which isn't a nokia
On the piano she plays harry potter
She's cool cuz she looks nuthin like an otter
She's kind of tall but that's okay
I'd hang out with her any day
She bought me ice cream, go sugar mama
She's a great friend who gives no crappy drama
and here's what she wrote about ME
My friend Helen is a melon
She thinks she is gellin'
She says I'm 'out of tune'
Yet is stuck on Sailor Moon
Seeing her is pretty cool
But she'll stick on you like glue
Although she is kind of short
Don't say it, she'll make you smart |
