so, I don't update for a month and now LiveJournal has gotten all spiffy.
Back in the greater Washington DC metropolitan area and accomplishing, of course, absolutely nothing. I am getting bored with idleness.

Christopher Buckley (at book reading on Saturday):"John Kerry is trying to have a secretary of wellness. Personally, I want is a secretary of history. We need that. President Bush would say "I want to occupy Iraq." and the secretary of history would say "achem. The British tried that in 1917." And Bush would ask "Well, how did that go?" "Not too well.""

WHAT!

It's very difficult to study Plato when Lil Jon is screaming "put your hood up!" in the back of your head.

Hora? I barely know her!

happy New Year to all of my non-goy friends.

Tess

PS Oberlin College is presenting an original musical about hipsters. It is called "Hella Deck"...no joke.

This post is in memory of Little Red/Anglebert Humberdink, 1994-2004,
Cause of death: brake failure and parents not wanting to spend another $1,000 on fixing random valves.
I'm sitting shiva by going to a knitting circle in black.
*sigh*

When we first got that car I was a chubby eight year old coming back from sleep away camp, now we get rid of it when I'm a churlish eighteen year old coming back from college.

Sad realization

2004-06-20T15:23:43Z

I'm not deck.
I can't even say deck.

PS ANDY IS HOTT! (And I don't mean temperature wise)

Happy Tessy

Home Sweet Home

2004-05-24T20:07:02Z

Came back to find the Chris turned Emo and can drive, Stopher is on a motorcycle, Barry is dressed normally, Ellie can crack backs, Paul is looking more like a bum than usual, Ben is a punk, Nina is away, others are still not back and there are a billion cicadas in my backyard.

I am going to go find work today, hopefully I will sell out to the man at Barnes and Noble to be able to get 30% off on the new box set of "Freaks and Geeks" that they overpriced to help support the big corporation that sucks the industry of small independent bookstores like a giant tick. So, that should be fun.

I miss school people and living without parents constantly questioning the accomplishments of my day. I think the stupidest question in the world is "what did you do today?" If something interesting happened would you really withhold that information until someone (say a parent at "dinner time") asks you what you did on that said day? blah!

It's his lucky day, it's a given...

Happy Birthday to the only hippie I know who likes Third Eye Blind.
May this year be one of lots of blondes with an L in their first name, and a new They Might Be Giants album.
I'm sorry I'll miss you during SPring break, but we'll chill when the month of May rolls around.

On another note: Alex and I are both being REALLY immature.

Guess whose going to Florida in a week and three days??

Pizza Eating Contest

2003-09-29T02:02:55Z

Matt Alex and Sarah
VS.
Lindsey, Annie and me

2 large (16 inch diameter) pizzas per team

Total time: 1 hour.

Who won?
Why, our team. We creamed the other team, by 2 full slices and a lot of extra cheese, ect.

My stomach hurts.
I don't think I can look at another crust without puking.

He was just 18..you know what I mean..

2003-09-22T16:55:52Z

Happy Birthday to our dear Barrymore
You shall receive a gift once I understand the postal services of Oberlin Ohio, and get stamps...and get your address..heh heh.
May this next year be one of fun, games, interesting experiences, inside jokes, and outside nudity.
And also may this be the year in which you no longer feel the need to listen to bands with names such as:I kill all of your little children, Überpillage, Cannibalistic Vultures, Deathy McDeath and the dancing plagues, bloodsucking Egyptian gods, etc.

:)
Happy Birthday.

Happy "talk like a pirate day" (one day early)

2003-09-18T20:21:27Z

Ahoy fellow scurvy knaves! How be the plunderin'? Yar. (you have no idea how hard it is to subtly talk like a pirate during English class)
Downloaded Pirates of the Caribbean onto Alex's computer and we watched it.
OHGOD JACK SPARROW HAVE MY BABIES!!
There is a movement to get pirates playing at the local theater so tomorrow everyone is dressing up like pirates and walking around downtown Oberlin.
Sweet.
I had to make a website for compsci, and I did. It's a beautiful website, at least, I think it is. It's purple.

Shiver me timbers.

one week later

2003-09-03T04:43:35Z

SInce I got here a week ago I now have 3 gay boyfriends and one straight one. The gay ones are definitely more fun to talk about silly things with.
It's ironic because Lance, Paul and Morgan have decided to turn Alex gay by the end of the year. It has become their project, so I must keep their deceptive little hands away from him. I must not allow this to become successful, it would kill whatever ego I have.
We've decided to go as pirates for Holloween, a whole lot of us. So far it's Triston, Jenny, Matt, Alex, me, Allison, Morgan, Lance, Paul, Hanna, Becca, Anna and others. I have usurped the title of captain, because I rock.
It was Becca's 18th birthday today, so we had chocolate cake and watched Shrek. I had my first day of classes, in which I discovered the true meaning of "9:30 class of DEATH"

Fuck.
I have to wake up in seven hours. Fucking 9AM classes.

for what its worth it was worth all the while...

2003-08-25T07:22:54Z

I'm leaving in five hours. I almost hurled at least 134 times. I really have nothing to say except that I am for the first time in my life, really really honestly and sincerely petrified.
I;ve been playing a whole lot of goodbye songs in my head, and was thinking of making a mix tape until it occurred to me...I won't be able to.
Who knows. Maybe I'll meet fun people at Oberlin and make long lasting friendships, maybe I will get along with Comrade Jenny. But what if I dont? What if I turn into one of those kids who scowls at everyone in the lunch line and eats their sandwich alone in the back writing down crappy poetry.
*sigh*
And now onto the ending of one chapter of my life.

See you on the flip side. *triple entendres*

My LiveJournal Sitcom
tessy1617's Life (WB, 7:00): tessy1617 (Forest Whitaker) wipes dashrew (Dick Van Dyke)'s laptop. At the same time, heymofo (Sela Ward) borrows money from halffinn (Scott Bakula)'s chauffeur. The next day, quethehell (Calista Flockhart) dances with jesterofsanity (Emma Thompson). In the next town over, z3p (Mae West) makes rowr2tame (Michael Caine) look stupid in front of a large crowd at a diner. On the other side of town, sayitaintso12 (Breckin Meyer) likes beef jerkys, but calitetra (Jackie Chan) thinks they're disgusting. Zany antics ensue.

Better than Ezra are amazing live. I think the lead singer is gay...or else he does a really good impression of a gay man...so he's probably gay because most singer can't act at all (think Britney Spears)

I'm covered with battle scars, bruises, and welts. Proof of a true pillow fight that can go down in the history books...Rather the raping and pillaging of Paul's bacement...which can still go down in the history books.

tralalalalala...I'm in denial about leaving on Monday...lalalala..denial's fun...

oooooh, Sleep

Reflections on birthday

2003-08-21T04:49:18Z

*sigh* I'm such a big kid when it comes to birthdays. Everyone got me very thoughtful gifts and was really cool at dinner. Even when my family was a little....odd.
I love the movies, CDs, earings, gift certificates, ect. that I got. Rachel even called me from Ghana! It was one of the best birthdays that I can think of. So, thanks. :)

Best quote of the evening
Lois: Do well in school, but get as drunk as you possibly can.

I need to buy some lottery tickets or some cigaretts, or some porn. Except I don't smoke or look at porn...that you have to buy (hahahahaha, just kidding. Mostly.)...so I guess I'll just get some lottery tickets...

I saw both Chris and Barry for the last time until November, or October if I go to Hartford during fall break. It's sad. I want you both to know that your friendships meant a lot to me, and I will miss you both more than I can possibly say.

Why am I awake?

2003-08-19T12:53:33Z

Really, I have no idea.

See Camp. Just see it. Especially my CCY buddies. Stephan Trask (Hedwig song writer) wrote a whole mess of songs for it. It won awards. It has a hot hot hot Vlad in it. (not that all Vlads aren't hot) And a lot of ooompf. So...see it.

Indigo Girls live are phenomenal. And an added perk is that you can see a lot of lesbians. There are different types, the young cute ones, the young not-so-cute ones, and the old ones. Two 33 year old lesbians offered Ellie, Joanna and me beer. We felt cool, although we sheepishly admitted that we were 18 (even though Joanna and I are still 17).

My birthday is tomorrow. Yes. I will be a legal adult in less than 16 hours. And it will be splendid. *remember 9 PM*

I now know (somewhat) how to knit. Therefore, I rock.

I don't know what's going to happen to me after Barry and Chris leave. I don't know if I'll be able to deal. I should figure it out soon, because they leave in three days.

How do you post pictures on LJ? I have no idea.

And finally:
For the want of the nail, the world was lost.
