    <content type="html">so!&lt;br /&gt;xmas present wrapping extravaganza with matt and ianna was a glowing success.&lt;br /&gt;yesterday my mom woke zach and i up at 9 to open gifts..that's how you know you're getting older...when you fucking mother has to wake you up to open gifts. but! i got a cd player for my car, some clothes, jewelery, a new coat, a gift card to victoria's secret, an estee lauder makeup bag WITH makeup inside (yay!), a subscription to ms. magazine and BUST magazine, and some various other shit. my brother got me this beautiful glass box shaped like a crescent moon. then my cold started getting worse and i spent the day in an alkaseltzer coldplus haze, eating lots of carbohydrates and blowing my nose a lot. &lt;br /&gt;TODAY chelsea and that jess mugno, as well as chelsea's lil sis allie are meeting me at my house and we're going on a salvo adventure and i'm mega psyched to wear my new coat. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i have also been spending way too much money the last two paychecks i got. it's like..whoa i have all this money spend spend spend. and then i'm like...what did i buy? i guess it's because of buying xmas gifts but i dunno. i have to remember that in like three weeks i'm going to have to buy books for school and i will certainly get raped for my money by the bookstore.

    <content type="html">i think i should write in this more. i always say that. oh well. it is what it is i guess.&lt;br /&gt;last night...i came home from work and made tempeh in peanut sauce with chilies and brown basmati rice. alayne made salad and kelly bought this awesome organic whole wheat bread and i ate like four pieces of it. FUCK YOU DR.ATKINS!! &lt;br /&gt;then kate and i "got silly" and i went to natalie dee's website while i waited for the roomies to get ready for james's PARTAY.  her comics are just so freakin brilliant and hilarious. especially when "silly." it was all so...profound. haha.&lt;br /&gt;then we all left together for the party, in the rainy gross kutztown night. it was a "dress up" party, and alayne was wearing white pumps with little bows on the front that reminded me of daisy duck. alayne is almost always in fuckin birkenstocks, so this was a sight to behold.  she could barely walk. anyway, we were all dressed in stuff that fit our personalities. kate was wearing this very penny lane-esque dress and sandals and a fuzzy scarf. kelly had on this gorgeous spanish looking halter dress with a crochet shrug and alayne had on (aside from the pumps) a wrap around "dry clean only" black and white dress. i wore a polkadot shirt and cable knit leggings under a black slip, black ballet flats, and my black knit cape shawl. we all looked like "ourselves." it was so much fun to go to the party ALL together. when we arrived table (yes, that's her name) was like "JAKK is here!!" apparently that's what people refer to us as: JAKK. as in joy alayne kate kelly.  nice. sooooo we drank some beers, then alayne and i walked home a little early and she painted and i wrote and it was lovely. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;this morning...woke up...beautifully groggy outside...made pancakes and coffee with amaretto, now here I sit at work, awaiting tonight's halloween party which promises to be a crazy time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;later.</content>

    <content type="html">so&lt;br /&gt;saturday night i went to the er b/c my abdomen was on fire. thought one of my ovarian cysts had burst. a few blood tests, a pelvic exam, and a CT scan later, (at 2am) they tell me that i need an appendectomy. so i start to cry, completely convinced that i'm going to die. but...i lived through it. they operated on sunday morning and I was pissed as all hell coming out of the anesthesia. now i have to be in the poconos for two weeks while i recover, and i can't really do anything for myself which kind of sucks. on the plus side, i get to sit around all day high on percoset and not really do much of anything. however i'm sure that will get old pretty fast. i'm basically pretty irritable and i hate everyone at certain moments. but yeah...i'm here with three gashes in my abdomen and a boatload of narcotics. let's live it up.</content>

    <content type="html">yesterday was so goddamned miserably hot. i had a headache all day to the point that it was sort of making me feel loopy. there was absolutely nothing enjoyable about it. the pool wasn't even open so there was no relief. i pulled the comforter off my bed and sprayed chamomile floral water all over the sheets and pillows and created some sort of cross-ventilation thing with a few fans...then scott and i layed on my bed like starfish for most of the day. that made it slightly more bearable. but thank god it's a bit cooler today...that kickass rain really helped. AND I think that by tomorrow the pool will be in full on action mode and i don't care HOW cold it is...i'm jumping in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;later we went out and i bought some delightful organic dark chocolate with freeze-dried raspberries inside. so delicious. i am officially a "dark chocolate person" at this point.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;last night scott and ianna and i went to ian's house because he was christening his new firepit. i ate too many marshmallows and drank a glass of wine, then it poured and we all got soaked and it was wonderful. One of his roommates, ashley, told some creepy story about this ghost lady dressed in white that they always see and i got totally wigged out for the rest of the night, SWEEEEEETT! then we went inside and played this game that scott made up where we had to...draw things. i'm not really sure what the point was...all i know is that at one point i tried to draw a gun and it ended up looking like a phallus. what else is new??? also i tried to draw ianna but it was definetly a disaster. i should stick to music. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so today it is cool and pleasent outside but i feel sort of really not content at all...have felt that way for probably about a week now. i can't figure it out. I think I need the BEACH. I feel like that would solve all my problems at this point...anyone up for a roadtrip?? seriously.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I AM FREE AFTER 8PM THIS EVENING....WHO WANTS TO PLAY???</content>

    <content type="html">i dunno. i guess i sort of forgot i had this or something. maybe not. i'm not sure. but i have the inkling to update so here it issssssss....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i have a headache this morning. actually i've had it since last night. and incredibly annoying sinus pressurey entire head headache. took an excedrine...it has done nothing. my mother also has a headache...only hers is a migraine. and i had to give her the imitrex shot this morning because george is at work. that was very weird. i officially do not like giving people shots. it freaks me out when my mom gets migraines. i sit close to where her room is so i can make sure she's still breathing and whatnot. i know it sounds morbid but she gets so sick that it's just really strange and upsetting. so now i hear the shower running so all is well. hopefully she will be feeling better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;last night....scott and i fell asleep at like 930. then "someone" called scott's cellphone asking to aid in the finding of marijuana. of course we did not know how to help this "someone." the whole situation was just strange. WHO DO YOU THINK WE ARREEEEEEEEE??? but yes we fell asleep rather early and woke up at 1am. i was pissed off because i fell asleep in my clothes and i was too hot and scott kept waking up and saying really strange things. he does that when he's sleeping. at one point he opened his eyes and looked really confused and said "orange...orange...this whole room is so horribly horribly orange!" yeah. that's my boyfriend. scott left and i could not fall back to sleep so i went out on the couch and watched alton brown to soothe my soul. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THURSDAY! was all sorts of fun. we (scott, chelsea, rob, smitty, esh, and myself) went to thai thani to pick up some food (except smitty and esh had to get MCDONALDS because they don't understand that thai food is good for the soul and mcdonalds will eat your internal organs...) and went to dansbury park to tramp around and sit on std laden couches and fall into murky stream water and you know, the usual. "If only chelsea had a penis..." then scott and i went and helped with the drama club showcase at the school then came back to my house and watched "walk the line." LET THE RECORD SHOW THAT SCOTT RODRIGUE CRIED AND I DID NOT. just so we have that straight. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ummm today...i need to find a job. and get a gift for my step sister's bridal shower. and read. and do laundry. and possibly see tulsi. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;YAY FOR SUMMER VACATION!!! I am so glad to be home, even more excited that scott is now also home. I have been dieting to take off the weight i re-gained whilst in ktown. can't let that happen again. all pictures i see of myself make me want to vomit. Anyway, have successfully lost about 5lbs in a week, so that's cool. hopefully this trend will continue. as long as no one tempts me with ice cream or mac and cheese. CHELSEA you are my only good influence, us and our weird healthfood. !!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AHHHH mommy is awake and fine. I must go talk to her. more lataaaaaa</content>

    <content type="html">so it's my first weekend "home from college"&lt;br /&gt;things in ktown are pretty good.&lt;br /&gt;I'm still adjusting and I have moments of being terribly homesick, chelsea-sick, esh-sick, smitty-sick, etc. &lt;br /&gt;but all in all, i'm doing okay.&lt;br /&gt;my voice teacher is A W E S O M E.  Meeting her on Wednesday made me so so sure that I'd made the right decision in transferring schools. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HOWEVER -&lt;br /&gt;on SUNDAY my giant irish family is having our annual giant irish labor day extravaganza (chelsea surely remembers this experience from last year, how could she forget???) and any and all are invited to partake. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.&lt;br /&gt;ALSO&lt;br /&gt;Saturday (tomorrow) I'm free so if anyone wants to play with me, I'd LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVEEE it. (ESU kiddies, i'm looking at you...)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yeeeeeppp.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ps the pugs are on the guest bed right now and they are wrestling and spitting and snorting and freaking out. I love it. God how I missed these strange little creature-dogs.</content>

    <title>so now that my wisdom teeth are out...does that mean i'm stupider?</title>
    <published>2005-08-11T02:55:27Z</published>
    <updated>2005-08-11T02:55:27Z</updated>
    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;sooooo yesterday i got my wisdom teeth out. this came as quite a suprise. i had the consultation on monday, and since they wanted to get me in and healed and back to normal before i leave for ktown, they got me in THE VERY NEXT DAY. I was scared shitless, let me tell you. Mostly I was afraid of being put under. I didn't know what to expect...I didn't like the idea of not having complete control over my body. I was afraid of feeling weird and distoriented when I woke up; I was nervous that I'd have strange, twisted visions and dreams while I was under, and I really really didn't want to feel like I'd only been asleep for 30 seconds when it'd really been an hour or so, and then not knowing how much time I really lost being unconcious or whatever.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I was reletively calm on the ride to scranton, calm in the waiting room, even calm when i sat in the puke green chair and bullshitted with my mom while we waited for the oral surgeon to come in. Then they put the heart monitor thing on my finger and it freaked me the fuck out, hearing my own heartbeat. Because I got so nervous, my heartbeat was irregular and scared the shit out of me. Then my mom had to leave, and I really started shitting bricks. They wouldn't even let me hold my worry stone. The oral surgeon put the IV in, and I was so freaked out. I kept thinking "any second now i'm going to be in a completely alternate state with no control over my body or my thoughts or anything, and I have no idea exactly when it's going to happen." I wasn't allowed to have my contacts in or my glasses on, so everything was already uber-blurry. Since I was having such a hard time relaxing, the surgeon gave me nitrous oxide as well, and the nurse is telling me "breath deeper, hon." and I'm like "damn, what do you want from me? I feel like i'm going to poop all over the place because i'm so freaked out." So I decided to focus on a fixed point in the room, like, the ceiling for example. Well, with the combination of no contacts and the fact that the drugs were getting into my system, the ceiling actually looked like it was swimming. That freaked me out too, so I shut my eyes even though I still didn't feel sleepy. Then I hear the surgeon say "Heeeeyyy, startin' to feel relaxed?" and I went "Yep, a lil bit dizzy!!" Then I took a real deep breath of the nitrous oxide and the last thing I remember thinking was "Why the FUCK am I not asleep yet?" And that was all, folks. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then I hear someone going, "Wake up, Joy..." and I wanted to say "FUCK OFF AND LET ME SLEEP" but then I realized that my cheeks were swollen and packed with gauze and remembered "oh yeah, I just had my teeth ripped out." Thus began my thus far two day drug induced stupor....&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;* first words out of my mouth "uuuhhh, I'm hungry, I want Rita's..." ( I do not remember saying this)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;* "I need chapstick" (Scott puts some on me) Five seconds later "I need chapstick" (I didn't even remember scott putting it on me the first time)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;* The orderly asked if I smoked. I pointed at poor Scottie and went "No, but HE does!!" (Also don't remember this)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;* I kept trying to touch my mouth and pull my tongue out because I was so numb and convinced that my tongue had changed shapes. I told my mom "My tongue feels like a cylinder." Then a few minutes later, "Mom, my tongue feels like a BALL!"&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;* I was also obsessing because I felt like I couldn't shut my mouth all the way. I kept asking "WHY CAN'T I SHUT MY MOUTH?" even though it was fully shut.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;* I was cussin' up a storm! I kept saying "This is so fuckin' weird, man" and "Fuck this shit, man." Scott informed me that there were little kids just a few beds away and I apparently went "I don't give a fuckin' shit, man." All of this in front of mom, Scott, and the nurses. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;* I asked why my mouth felt so fat and Scott goes, "well, because you're swollen and because you have gauze in your mouth." And I go, "Yeah, well that blows dick." My mom goes "WHAT did she just say?" Scott repeated my senitments, laughing hysterically. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;* Evidently, when I took a particularly deep breath of the nitrous, I got a pins and needles feeling in my crotch. Well, I felt the need to share this experience with mom and scott. mom asked "well, why didn't you say anything to the surgeon?" and I go, "Fuck mom, what was I supposed to say? HEY DOC MY VAGINA HURTS!" mom and scott also bonded in a fit of laughter over this. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;* They had me sign this release form that the antibiotics used to curb infection could weaken my birth control. Well, I broke out that tidbit of info too. I said "Hey, Scott, they made me sign a paper about birth control and it said...ahhh mom you tell him." So my mom proceeds to explain to scott that the release just said to use a back up for the rest of the cycle. and I go "Well, we do that anyway! But I guess you didn't really want to know that, did ya mom?"&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Geez there were so many more. Mind you, most of these comments I have a very vague to absolutely no recollection of at all. &amp;nbsp;I'm sure you all wanted to know all of my wonderful little special, drugged out comments. It's even getting more creative, because I'm in an almost constant hydrocodone haze until probably tomorrow or friday. whooooooo-eeeeee. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I guess we know now that I cannot, under any circumstances, become a druggie. I share details about my vagina and my sex life, put on too much chapstick, and loose pretty much all sense of proper decorum. But what the hell, it's actually been kind of fun.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;PS. Thank you Chelsea Flanery, for the wonderful book "my sister's keeper." When I'm not stoned, sleeping, or eating obscene amounts of ice cream I've been tearing that shit up. It's so good. I'm almost done. I'll call you when I'm sober, bitchtits. And Eshtits, too. Love you guys.&lt;/p&gt;</content>

    <title>a long awaited entry...although i'm sure no one cares THAT much</title>
    <published>2005-08-04T16:32:51Z</published>
    <updated>2005-08-04T16:34:21Z</updated>
    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;soooooo&lt;br&gt;i scheduled for fall @ ktown. &lt;br&gt;i am going to go insane.&lt;br&gt;i have 5 academic classes, plus i'm required to do concert choir, which meets 3x a week, and also at least one small ensemble, which will also meet 3x a week, in addition to private voice lessons and preparing for piano proficiency.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;add to that having a new apartment and a new job, and well...i guess i'm just going to say that i'm getting nervous. but, i have to do it. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;laura and alayne and i keep talking about how glorious it's going to be to live together, to fix up and decorate the apartment, to have "intimate gatherings" and drink red wine, and dreaming about that $90 art nouveau velvet shower curtain (which we cannot possibly justify having, even though my mother offered to BUY it for us!), but I think we keep overlooking the fact that we're going to be there for SCHOOL, haha. We're going to need to like, study and go to class and stuff. hahah. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;in other news, last week my very very special boyfriend bought me a cactus. most boys buy their girlfriends flowers when they're trying to be romantic; mine buys me a cactus. but you know what? I wouldn't want it to be any different.just like chelsea said, it would be weird if I was with anyone normal. I love my cactus. I should name it. ANY IDEAS? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;so, everytime I think that CVS is hell on earth, something absolutely wonderful and entertaining happens to change my mind . . . . . . &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;so evidently some old old man came into cvs on saturday (unfortunatly i wasn't there to witness this enchanting encounter) and he was holding a box of regular old run-of-the-mill condoms. He asked one of my fellow employees what she "knows about these things." And she was like, "Well, what exactly do you want to know?" He proceeds to tell her that he cannot use these regular condoms,&amp;nbsp;and the company he used to buy his "special" ones from has since ceased to produce the item he needs. My friend is thinking that he's allergic to latex, or maybe a little bigger than the average bear, so she begins to suggest lambskin or polyurathene condoms or those oh-so-obnoxious MAGNUM varieties (seriously, even the packaging screams "I HAVE A GIANT COCK!"), but&amp;nbsp;Mr. Latex isn't satisfied. No, he says he needs something quite different, in fact,&amp;nbsp;something the size of a FINGER COT would be PERFECT.&amp;nbsp; A FUCKING FINGER COT!!!!! He proceeds to asked my astonished&amp;nbsp;collegue if she thinks that finger cots would provide him with the same protection as your average&amp;nbsp;trojan. She tells him no, because clearly finger cots aren't&amp;nbsp;individually electronically tested, but the poor guy buys the fucking things anyway, with full intention to&amp;nbsp;use them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I'm sorry, but I just don't even know what to say about this. I mean, yes, it's fucking hysterical. But at the same time...is that even possible? I mean that would have to&amp;nbsp;be a super teeny tiny penis. Like, genetic mutation variety. Furthermore, if I was of the male species and had a penis that small, I don't really think I'd&amp;nbsp;tell ANYONE, EVER.&amp;nbsp;Especially not some poor unassuming young shift supervisor at&amp;nbsp;the drugstore. It's like the friggin&amp;nbsp;Twilight&amp;nbsp;Zone. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So yeah, I got a little&amp;nbsp;kick out of finger cot man. I hope you all got something out of it...even if it was just something very, um....little...&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">okay first off let me say -&lt;br /&gt;i love ashley robinson and john smith HARDCORE.&lt;br /&gt;and guys - I WASN'T HAVING SEX LAST NIGHT WHEN YOU CALLED. I might be a "raging whore" but usually I'm asleep by 1:30am. The raging whoreness usually stops around midnight - it's a cinderella thing. &lt;br /&gt;Anyway, that's why I didn't pick up, (not because of "really good sex") and I'm going to spare Scott the comment about "but it's scott, that wouldn't be possible" because I think he'd cry. Even though that WAS really fuckin funny. (And Esh's comments of "That was beautiful!!" in the background were...well, beautiful. hahahahaha.)&lt;br /&gt;Um but just for the record, I DID get worried when I heard the phone ring a second time, but I was too tired to pick up. But when I went to listen to the messages this morning, I was afraid you were going to tell me something terrible had happened, Smitty. YOU OFFICIALLY SUCK!! hehe just kidding. &lt;br /&gt;Your messages totally made my day. You are my favorite special asshole couple ever. You obviously know me very well if you know that a repeat phone call gets me worried that something awful happened. I love you guys.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ummmm so there's all this stuff about how the orthoevra patch has an increased risk of blot clots, heart attacks, strokes, death, etc. well, that's MY BIRTH CONTROL. So i'm kind of freaking out. I have an appt. with the gyno tomorrow morning. I want to switch to something different. Because, well I don't want a blot clot, but every raging whore needs her birth control. I am officially the most paranoid person to walk the earth. Who runs to the gyno the moment the hear something bad about their birth control? ME THAT'S WHO. Scaredy McScared-ster. Thats me.</content>

    <title>i don't understand the universe sometimes.</title>

    <content type="html">we aren't really on speaking terms, the universe and I. or God. Or whatever or whomever it is that causes things to happen. I know that sounds stupid, but I just don't get it sometimes.&lt;br /&gt;There's the London thing. Don't even get me started. The entire world is such a scary place to live sometimes.&lt;br /&gt;Then there's Linda. Linda was an extremely dear, close family friend. She was my Aunt Mary Pat's best friend. She was always around. Monday morning, she died suddenly of a blueberry brain anyerism (spelling?) WHAT THE FUCK???? WHY? It doesn't make any sense. Her husband woke up at 5am to discover that she hadn't come to bed, and knew something was wrong. Then he found her in the bathroom. You can't even be sure your loved ones are safe when you're under the same roof with them. Everything feels so scary and surreal. Then I think about Morry, and his brother Ethan, and my dear friend Brian Weinle who passed away last summer and I get so angry. Why are these people ripped away from us? I know there is supposedly some grand plan for us in the universe and one day it will all make sense, blahdy blahdy blah. But right now, that all seems like such bullshit. It seems like such a copout, and I feel pissed off. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I probably sound like a whiny little bitch right now. It could be so much worse, right? I have it made. I am so lucky, and I know that. I have a wonderful family, kick-ass friends, nothing more to possibly ask for. Compared to most of the population, I am one lucky son of a bitch. But it all still seems so fucked up right now. Blah. I'm trying to just trust the universe to take care of me and the people I love, but it's really hard right now to have faith in something that seems so precarious.</content>

    <content type="html">so last night was fun.&lt;br /&gt;ianna, jeanine (I don't know if that's how she spells it), billymack, scott and myself gathered at my place for our fourth meeting of the dirty poet's society. mattando was in new york, and it wasn't quite the same without him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;anyway, we had a good time. ianna brought over baby marshmallows and we roasted them on wooden shish kebob skewers over a tealight. it worked quite well, suprisingly. got a little messy though. Ianna drooled on scott's hand and it made me laugh. billy mack's mouth makes a farting sound when he's not ready to laugh, but wants to. great great kids.  can't wait for next week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;my mother is out buying flowers. this means i must help her plant them. ugh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CHELSEA MAE FLANERY CALLLLLLLL MEEEE I MISS YOU SLUT!!

    <content type="html">so i'm waiting for snotty applenose to wake up so we can go to dale's or something. i've been up since 730 for no apparent reason and i really kind of hate it. &lt;br /&gt;um so my new job at the howard johnson's blows major dick thus far. like, officially. I'm going to look for something else because...ugh. it just totally totally sucks cock.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ummmm so most people that know me know that there are several words in the English language that I really really hate. I can't explain why - I think it's a combination of how they look written out and how then sound when spoken. But anyway, the list is growing every day!! Here it is so far:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Words I Fucking Hate* by Joy Migala&lt;br /&gt;-meal&lt;br /&gt;-wipe&lt;br /&gt;-prepare&lt;br /&gt;-cookie&lt;br /&gt;-panties&lt;br /&gt;-moist (I think this might be the one I hate most)&lt;br /&gt;-broth&lt;br /&gt;-pussy (I don't care if you're talking about a cat or a pussy willow or whatever. This word makes me gag, literally.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's all I can think of right now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Things that have made me happy the past few days:&lt;br /&gt;-seeing Esh, Smitty and Johndemeglio on Wednesday night. I bought Esh a sweet DVD about THE POPE and a card with a woman orgasming on the washing machine.&lt;br /&gt;-"Clueless" was on the other night. I fucking love that movie. And watching it now, as opposed to when I was 12, I realize there were so many jokes and references that I didn't catch. So it was really awesome. Brittany Murphy used to be so...fucked up looking? hehe I love it. &lt;br /&gt;-my nine year old cousin alex memorized the Napoleon Dynamite dance and does it constantly. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's all for now &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PEACE MUTHAFUCKERS</content>
