so, there's so many awesome people in my house. mathews is love. seriously.
okay, a couple of things i've done so far...
-went to 3 parties in one night... twice to each one
-laid in the middle of an intersection at 2 am and watched the lights change
-went to classes
-learned krav maga
-mud wrestled
-played in the rain
-walked around our dorm and courtyard to the office in only a sheet...with another girl...haha
-had 2 all nighters in a row
-encountered a crazy crazy crack man
-had a flood in my room
-made oreo pie
-got amazingly good at ping pong
-stole a door... and walked a mile with it
-got everyone in my dorm to believe that a boy named cornelius exists and goes to this school and is our friend here, and comes to our house
most of this stuff i did with jennifer, this awesome girl that lives a floor below me. we're both audacious, so that works well. other house people were involved too, but i don't feel like name-dropping all over the place yet. so yeahhh.
oh, and half of the stuff on the list sounds incredibly dirty but if you hear the story, it's not. but it still happened [=
so ask.

Hey everyone.
Sorry I haven't written much, but I'm incredibly busy over here. The plane trip in itself was an adventure- I almost didn't make it on the plane! Then, seeing my family again after so long was overwhelming and I could write tons just on that subject alone. We're going to so many major towns and it's amazing. I feel like a part of history, plus, some things are just crazy! They drive like maniacs over here, and coming from me, that's really something [: but I'm ridiculously tired and I have to get up early tomorrow, so I'm cutting this short. I promise I'll update again, and when I get back you'll hear TONS of stories of everything that's going down. But for now I've got to go. Oh, and one more thing-
I love you all&&miss you tons! See you soon.
<3maggie.

My toes are all wrinkly.
But I guess when one runs around in the rain, jumping in every single puddle and splashing like no tomorrow, all while wearing shoes and socks, one gets placed in that situation. Especially if one walks around allllll day in those squishy socks and shoes [:
Today was a blast. Six Flags with a bunch of little kids sounds like a nightmare to most people, but not to me. I thought they were pretty awesome, especially a couple who just made my day by being so adorable! We ended up skipping all of the shows to stay on the coasters, but it's not like I won't ever have the chance to see them again, haha. At some points, things got weird, but I guess that's just life, and you deal with it, and you move on, so that you don't miss all the good stuff [: such as how Viper really is awesome in the dark. Or how there are people in the world that can make you smile no matter what kind of time you just went through.
[:
Goodnight.

[22 Jul 2006|10:52am] |
So, yesterday, my mom knocked on my door, came into my room, and said "Do you need washcloths?"
I was like, double you tee eff? I clearly use the ones in the towel cabinet. But then, she clarified:
"Do you need washcloths for college?"
BAM. That's when it hit me. I'm leaving SOON. Granted, I'm only going downtown, but still, I'm moving out of my home and I need to get all this stuff that I don't have and get all these things done and mail this and fix this loan and get this letter in and send this form and and and explode!!!!
I don't think I'm ready. I'm scared.

The word of the day is DISILLUSIONMENT.
I thought I liked someone. I was pretty sure I did. But now, I see him in a whole different way. I might have thought highly of him just because others did, but it turns out he's like a Monet- attractive from a distance, but a big mess up close. Then, I thought I liked others, but they kind of disappointed me, too. I can't stand weakness. Uncertainty, doubt, indecision- I can deal with that. But I'm not a social worker here to solve everyone's problems. So I sort of cut those ties and moved on, because I don't like to carry any baggage, not even my own, let alone anyone else's.
New people are coming into my life, but it seems like the past is waiting at the gate too, refusing to be turned away. I guess you can't outrun what's inside of yourself.
By and by, I'm getting a new outlook on life. The floor creaks and hinges strain as paradigms shift and perspectives arise phoenix-like out of the dust and ashes of experience. I think I see someone in a new light now.
Maybe this entry was more for me to clear my mind, but, this voice provides clarity above and beyond broken ideas floating along a stream of consciousness.
Open your eyes.

i saw the MIDNIGHT showing of Pirates of the Carribbean Dead Man's Chest with:
-mel, tommy, anne, april, mike, michael, rebecca, casey, amy, missy, and danielle.
that's a lot of people, but advanced ticket purchasing rocks [: basically, it was a high school reunion, since i saw everyone i know, including certain people i absolutely need to see more of in the near future.
the movie itself? it was like a mental prostitute; it BLEW my MIND. amazing. so much suspense, and i'll die waiting for the third installment! i was rendered speechless in the movie theater. then, slowly, as i regained my speech and my jaw raised off the floor, the only thing i could say was "ohmygod." see it. NOW. so we can talk about it!!! ahh.
and, kind of going with the previous topic, i think i realized something. i may be all cynical, but cynics can still be happy. and i'm definitely open to being proved wrong in my cynical ideas. i guess that's all i really can do, be open to things. and i'm definitely going to try. whatever that may mean.

| hello, stranger |
[06 Jul 2006|01:38am] |

tonight, i watched closer with tommy, mel, danielle, jason, amy, cara, and mark. it's one of my favorite movies on earth, but it still makes me a bit wistful.
i'm sitting here, thinking about love. wondering about it, really. like natalie portman says in the movie,
"i love you"
np- where?where is this love? i can't see it, i can't touch it, i can't feel it. i can hear your words, but what will i do with your easy words?
i think i'm in love with love. can it work out that way? or maybe cynics aren't allowed to fall in love. or maybe i just haven't found that one person i'm meant to be with. but, as the movie shows, maybe that doesn't exist. maybe we're all just a bunch of strangers, really, and just happen to bump into each other once in a while and call that a relationship.
love does strange things to people. maybe i'm better off being immune to that craziness that puts a heart on the line and a soul through the wringer. am i?
-"you just ruined my life!"
-"you'll get over it."

| i like writing. i wrote this earlier this year. it's called "no, you cannot" |
[01 Jul 2006|11:34am] |

said the Little Girl to the Father,
i want to grow
and grow and grow
and grow
until my head hits the sun and
i can grasp it and
roll it between my fingers and
stretch it out so that the whole
wide world can be warm, always
and forever but
said the Father to the Little Girl,
no, you cannot
so she didn’t.
said the Girl to the Boy,
i want to love you
and love and love
and love you
until i put my hand in yours
and we make a promise so that
you will be my darling and
have my soul to keep and
i’ll be your one and only, always
and forever but
said the Boy to the Girl,
no, you cannot
so she didn’t.
said the Young Woman to the Man,
i want to live
and live and live
and live
until i experience the world and
i can let my mind run free and
i accomplish something
besides procreation
that will last, always
and forever but
said the Man to the Young Woman,
no, you cannot
so she didn’t.
said the Mother to the Son,
i want to die
and die and die
and die
until i rot in the ground and
my eyes will stay shut and
my ears will stay deaf and
this little heart
will be silenced, always
and forever
said the Son to the Mother,
no, you cannot
but she did.

i wrote a song today. it's a little ditty titled,
"YOU WILL NEVER GET A FREE IPOD. END."
i wrote it because, you will never get a free ipod, sucka! no matter how many bunnies you shoot, boxers you punch, kisses you catch, or osamas you set on fire.
you, i know for a fact, are too cheap or too smart to sign up for one of those FREE* trial offers that make you pay through the nose and other bodily cavities two weeks later after you sign your name in blood. and face it. no matter how many effin' links you send to your effin' friends they will never effin' click, or effin' respond, or effin' follow through. it's like a "pyramid of indifference" scheme.
so please. do the world a favor and stop trying.
that is all.
.maggie
haven't you noticed? if you click on the area outside the clown's head and NOT succeed in blowing it to pieces, it still takes you to the same effin' adpage that it would should you decapitate said carny.

| 10 Reasons Why Gay Marriage is Wrong |
[19 Jun 2006|09:34pm] |
[ from a bulletin on MySpace. feel free to steal.]
1. Being gay is not natural. And as you know Americans have always rejected unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.
2. Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.
3. Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because, as you know, a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.
4. Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.
5. Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed. The sanctity of Britney Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.
6. Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children.
7. Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.
8. Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America.
9. Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.
10. Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.
