pretty much the best weekend ever.
after work jen and i brought TGIF to california and it was, well...you gotta live it to know how good it can be.
then we went to zoe's and eventually got wasted with some waaaaldorf boys who are growing up to be so cute.
then we went to the ricksaw stop and danced in the company of more hipsters than i have ever seen in one place at one time.
3 pm saturday and i was sitting shot gun in my mom's car, jen driving, marisa in the back, driving down the california coast.
by 5 we were on the beach. with. ohhhhh boy. lukas.
we drove home and stopped at in and out. late saturday night i saw hannah for the first time all summer.
michael came home. it's all weird.
whatever, back to the work week. working all day every day and spending every night too tired to not go to bed early. yup that's right. i feel very out of character.

Counting miles before we set
Fall in love and fall apart
Things will end before they start

I don't think i've ever been less excited about summer in my life. Say goodbye to...
beerpong with jocks
late night adventures
"being a little boy"
craziness
The boys
WILDER BOWL...aka my favorite place on the planet...along with a few other peoples' too.
fuck. this shit aint gonna be easy. I can't wait to be back. I feel like i just got home from the best summer camp ever.

Rough. If I could think of what to say I would. i feel like the wind has been knocked out of me. the rest of the semester is going to be rough and i'm not going to be happy with the out come of anything this year.
yesterday might have been the strangest day i've had here.

here's a top ten most interesting things that have happened to me lately in no particular order.
1) my hot philosophy prof saw me smoking after class and was like "i thought we talked about this sarah..." in front of all my friends, and it was awkward but funny.
2) Alie and i spent all day together, made some bucks hustling, star watched, she slept in my bed and we cuddled, but then i left, but then came back in the morning and got back in bed and we cuddled again. when we finally decided to get up michael walked in the room, not knowing that alie had spent the night there, and she was just in underwear and i had no shirt on. it was awkward i'd say.
3) 420, alie, bella and I started blazing at 10 am and preceeded to remain stoned all day long. i finally passed out at 1. a very early night by oberlin standards. i probably smoked $40 worth of pot at least
4)last friday afternoon i went to a really awsome senior creative writing major reading, where these two seniors read short stories and there were teachers there drinking pabst. I hadn't eaten yet so i had like 4 beers and got wasted. then it started raining and there was a bbq that was still just as good. and more beer.
5)I tuesday afternoon i played raquet ball, wednesday I played tennis, and today I played tennis again.
6)Last night Lukas called and we talked for, i dunno, 15 minutes. He was just calling to say hi and see what's up, what's i'm doing this summer, ect. It was really nice of him and i had a good time on the phone with him. However, it was obsurd that he just called me randomly. I love him though.
7) i finally got to have a good conversation with Zoe. we talked for about a half and hour. I went on a walk so i was finally alone so could really tell her what's going on in good old oberlin, where the honest details of life aren't suited for the written word. But overall, it helped me really assess my situation here, and figure out why i'm so confused about things.
8) Either Jen or Sara or both are living at my house this summer. that means great things. I can picture many a summer night spent with hard liqs on the deck chilling hard core.
9) Sarina and I talked the president of Oberlin out of closing the largest co-op on campus.
10) tuesday I hung out with Alie all day and it was great.
I'll be home in less than a month and that's not far away. There are a lot of things i want to watch pan out in the next month too, including a butt load of work, so i'm not quite in the coming home mind-set yet. This is also probably the best weather i'll see for a while too. everyday should always involve sun, outside, laughing, interesting thoughts, and jimi hendrix. or at least that's what I think.

I can't really be as candid anymore, because apperently my lovely college friends now found my lj and read it aloud for entertainment. now, how could i really hold that against them because i'm sure if i was in there position i would do the same thing.
there is that familiar twinge in my chest and in my tummy and i can't get it off my mind. i guess i shouldn't be so cocky and think that i'm above human emotion. that's why people don't keep up these kinds of relationships. they don't work. Even if you are well settled in pretending something that is real doesn't exist, while you may be able to convince everyone around you, and even yourself, that there is nothing there, something does exist. it does effect you and cause you to respond and have feelings about it. I've finally started to recognize the pain inwardly.I am heartbroken about something that doesn't exist outwardly. and it does exist outwardly, i've been told. people say that in pictures, the moments captured on film are so expressive, and make it so obvious if you pay attention, that there is something going on between us. People say in in person we look at eachother differently too. the only reason that it still can go on without getting anyone in trouble is because we, the individuals involved never say anything about it, and would so admimently and convinvingly deny it.
this is a stupid entry.

words cannot describe.
drag ball was...lord save us all.
I need to get my life together and stop being such a crack head....
ps. i love having a penis.
we peed like boys
honestly though, who's the man in this relationship
alie is actually a greesy gas station attendent. finally it's all so clear.
i think we liked this way too much. it came so naturally.
i make a better boy than girl. no one could deny it.
all in all...i loved my penis. i loved being a boy.
i think the entire world should have drag balls.

my midterms are OVER. thank fucking god. most of my friends are still in the heat of things, so i'm not partying...but sleeping like it's my job. or at least that's what i intend to do. This morning i woke up early and got to the art library by 8:30 to meet alie. we watched our documentary, did our reading, then fell asleep in the library. luckily our prof found us and told us we probably wanted to wake up within the next five minutes, winked and left. it was pretty cool. after class, and 4 hours at the library by noon, i went to Tank for lunch with Alie. it was so far superior to dascomb food. i think i want to live in a coop next year. Also, my cell phone is broken. i know exactly how it happened...which makes it even more upsetting and embarassing. plus side? my parents can't call me 5 times a day. each.
I value things differently now. Home, san francisco, all that california business except the actually high school related shit itself, it like my fond dream that i hope to fall asleep to at night. or in the day for that matter. I don't really talk to people, except for my obsessive parents, or when someone calls me, which is kinda a blue moon sorta thing these days. I still hold it fondly, if not more fondly than before...except high school, which i have growing resentment for. Sarina and I are together a lot. it's great. People have started to refer to us as "the deviant duo", but as i learned in sociology, deviance isn't bad, it's only bad because it's not keeping with the norm, which is actually something to be proud of in my opinion. ALie and I are also a funny duo. Not that our friendship itself isn't enough, but additionally it's like, we each get something of an image from being with the other. I give her a feeling of freedom, and escape from the pressures of the rollercoaster social scene that she and her lesbian community, i guess to be honest the rugby team, has swept her up in. What really nice is that she honestly is best friends with my best friends, but she and i often go on adventures, study times, classes, drugs, just the two of us. Michael michael michael. I love him. he is actually my twin. but things are harder than they used to be. there is a lot of monotony in a long term relationship, even when you try to spice things up. it's hard to be codependent, and to be honest, it is really unnatural for me at this point in my life, but i would much much much rather be with him than without him.
School. school this module has been amazing. it's so much harder than last semester, but so much more rewarding. and now....i get As. no fucking way man. I'm tearing apart my art history class, which i spent the four hours at the art lib this morning for, and my sociology is the easiest things ever...even though we have a decent amount of work and it is interesting. it's so frigging easy...but maybe because i'm in that class with bella and sarina so we all have eachother. Aside from those i have philosophy. This is my class with the least assignments, least class participation, the most reading, and the hardest conceptual learning. I'm still struggling with philosophy, but i think only because i really want to gain depth of knowledge, not just accumulate business. This semester i have discovered the art building, which is the most architecturally pleasing building on campus. But what really makes it stand out is the art library. It is so far superior than Mudd, or the Sci Li, and additionally, it's the furthest from the center of campus. what this means is that people only go there if they are really didicated to the library. so while you still have the familiar face feeling that makes the library fun (which the sci li lacks), you don't have the distractions that make mudd impossible.
anyhow, i guess that's all. I'll be home saturday night. i'm excited.

The house shake
The house shake
I don't know
What to do
In times of
Disaster
Solid things
Go liquid
And the breath

Of my forward question
Is this a
Release, or
A build up
Of pressure?

school is better. a lot better than last semester. I'm managing my work and doing better than usual. I party less, but still do my share of this and that. the beginning was crazy. i almost had a nervous break down because i thought i was an alcoholic. Then i just cut back. it was as easy as that. cool huh?
This saturday was national cuddle day. It was crazy. Michael was at the con all day (except for the two hours of buffy watching) so i played with my girls, which is actually probably more common than had it been the other way around. We all cuddled up together in rachel and natasha's room, and watched rent with the football boys. Usually i despise them. They are very entertaining and funny and nice, but they are so inappropriot and politically in correct (never though you'd hear ME complain about that), that it's really hard for me to take them. but saturday was fun. they think i'm really hot and always tell me infront of michael that i need a real man. it's funnier than it sounds.
I got gang banged
If i was single and Calvin wasn't such a meat head we'd make a really cute couple.
then after that part of my day we went to casa fiesta and ate so much i could haradly keep it together. all of us felt like we were gonna explode, so what do we do? go to fireland's and play beer pong at bryce's. Alie and i kept losing and ended up feeling worse. so we decided resuming national cuddle day celebrations.
but then with fresh energy and a little too close to not be tempted or lead astray, i got up and resumed festivities.
Things with Sarina and I are back to the old days and just as good as new. pretty much we're twins.
Isabella and i have gotten closer than ever before. we understand eachother and can be serious and have really intense conversations, but we also know how to play and have fun, which is kinda the Dascomb theme.
The night went on and we went back to Dascomb to regroup and go to a party. Things with me and Alie were weird, but we had so much fun together. oh what words were exchanged.
So this week has been more of the usual. However, to put a dampener on things, i woke up yesterday so ill i didn't get o ut of bed till dinner. i have this virus that's been going around campus and already hit 3 other of my closest friends, so it was only a matter of time. The real problem is that student health says i should stay in bed, but i had to give a presentation today for my art history class which went horribly. Luckily, the teacher saw how sick i am let me go home after i was done which was very sweet of her. Now i have to clean my room, do my laundry, and knowck my philosophy paper out of the ball park so i can be free and hopefully a little better when hannah gets here tomorrow night. which i am SO FUCKING EXCITED FOR. i just really hope i feel better.

Hey,
so lately things have been going well. i like my classes, and i feel a lot smarter than i used to be. i know that sounds weird. I still have a lot of trouble not procrastinating because i know i can get away with it, but i'm working to break that habbit in my study skills class. which is spectacular. Last night was a lame but fun friday night, where i just got kicked out of my mind. it was the most in tense combination of things. I was in a weird ass mood, just got my period which was a month and a half late, kinda drunk at 5, went to dinner, went on an alc run, got drunk, got stoned, got drunker, got stoneder, still wasn't that wasted and had actually the worst cramps in the world, took painkillers, then went to a bluegrass show, ran into Claudio, spoke swiss german with him, left eventually after all kinds of awkward encounters...cara, olivia, claurdio, michael, alex-hatesme-christie, drank more inn dascomb went out in search of parties, got to one and decided to go back to campus and find michael, claudio said he would walk me, had a crazy talk with claudio who admitted to having slept with almost all the girls in fairchild. Then he strangely brought up that i shouldn't feel threatened by them... if i am, because even though he doesn't really know that kinda stuff about me, he can tell i'm just better than they are. what? that is just such a weird thing to say.
Oberlin is such a crazy place. all the students are actually crazy. they are so extreme in their own directions, it's keeps things really interesting, but makes me wonder what that says about myself, because i know that i am living a really intense, stressful, and reckless life here myself, and if i think everyone else is weird, i should look at myself for a second. i don't even know what going on. i feel awful, but together. i don't even know.
tonight? masonic temple BOOM celebration. it snowed again last night after three days of bizarre 60 degree weather...and now it's 9 degrees outside. my cramps hurt so bad i wanna die. i just wake and baked.

i wish i could be home for my friends.
spanish is a harder language than they tell you.
being in a tourist-dependent, mid-way, third world country takes alot out of you.
i have never seen such beautiful mountains in my life.

I have officially been sick for two weeks. we're talkin hurts to swallow, smoke only at risk of coughing up your stomach, coughing up balls of some unidentified grose substance, and breathing through the nasal passages...totally out of the question. so, we know that i don't have strep or mono, and the kicker is that i'm not contageous. I want nothing more than to be home in sf where no matter how cold and grose it is, at least it's not bellow 20 degrees at all times. I just wanna be be in my parents bed watching tv and getting taken care of. I haven't talked to anyone from home in weeks, pretty much because i'm always either doing homework or sleeping, and i miss everyone so much. At least i can safely say that they haven't m issed out on anything important, unless they like the sound of hacking coughs through the receiver. I bet their throats would hurt just from hearing my voice. And of course, this coincides so beautifully with finals week. I no longer am a 'sco hoe (and not because i no longer love the 'sco, just 'cause if i can't drink and i'm too sick to dance, why go?), i live in the library or the d-2 study room. At least the study room is a good time. Bella and i are in there pretty much ALWAYS, and sarina is in there enough to say that she needs to get out more. Sarina and I have rekindled our love, and Bella and i seem to be newly obsessed with eachother. I love Fieldsten kids. I have resigned to the fact that i'm getting a HORRIBLE grade in german, so i have decided to prioitize my other finals above it. I would kill for an A on my philosophy final...and i think i may actually pull off a pretty deecent grade in globalization. I changed my plane ticket and now iget home two days earlier...i just have to turn in a final earlier, but whatever. it's so worth it. and this way i can see chanticleer...even if it means driving down to santa clara. they're soooooo worth it. Ugg...must...go...to...philosophy review session.
