  1. i need more sleep

    August 5, 2005 by louissa

    this is post #100 with wordpress. wow. i’ve gotta get a life. someday i’ll actually count all my posts in diaryland, unskewed, xanga, and this and let you know what number i’m really at.

    holy lot of gum when you smile, louissa (my teeth are a bit straighter right now. i’m so proud of myself)!

    i’m going. going camping that is. my sister told me i wouldn’t die and that was just the biggest revelation for me and i felt so much better afterwards so i figured i’d go. but yeah, i’ll miss church again. i really do miss it.


  2. to go or not to go

    August 4, 2005 by louissa

    if there is something i hate doing, it’s making decisions. i hem and haw over everything. it could be something big like, am i going to school after i graduate? and if so, where? or it could be something little. i know i need this pair of black pants, but i just don’t know if i should pay this amount for a pair of pants (i tend to be a bit of a tight-wad when it comes to buying things for myself). if i’m at a new restaraunt i can’t decide. i don’t know what to order, you tell me what you like here and if it sounds good then i’ll order it. i just hate making decisions.

    my family is going away to Fort Ticonderoga tomorrow. it’ll be a weekend thing – a weekend in a tent. now i’m not really all that into camping. i don’t deal well with mosquitos and being around hundreds of smelly people because they haven’t showered in a few days and spend all their time out in the hot sun. i figured it’d be a family thing and was waiting to be told i had to go. but no, my dad asks me if i’m going. darn. now i have to make a decision.

    i don’t regret rapping. i don’t regret being loud. i don’t regret alot of things, but i do regret decisions i’ve made in the past – especially concerning family events. i don’t want to go and then hate every minute of it, but i don’t want to stay and realize that it could have been a good time.

    i’m really sorry if you’ve read all this. just me being my phlegmatic, indecisive self, and complaining a bit about it. we’ll see what happens.

    first, this is to all my peeps in PA who might, because of a previous post, think that i now hate myself and regret ever going down: i think ya’ll are just jealous because you were blown away by my rapping skills. just kidding. i had so much fun sunday night and don’t regret any of it. my post was me just having a bit more fun laughing at myself. i might have been a little like, “what did i do?!”, but i had a great time. i know i’m white and i’m totally fine with that. now you all know me just a little more – isn’t it great? but really, no worries. i’m totally fine. i don’t think i’d take back any of my out-landish doings this past sunday night. we had fun – at least i had fun. : )

    alrighty.

    little boys, little boys… merrick is a true sanguine. he got bored with his hair (“i’ve had this hair cut all my life and i wanted something new!”) so he took a pair of scissors and gave himself an inverted mohawk. that’s right, cut it straight down the middle – nice and short. long story short, we buzzed his head, he cried the whole time, and when we brought the mirror for him to see his new look he didn’t like it very much and exclaimed, “i hate myself!” eventually he got over it.

    the parents have spoken. and i’m home. as in new york. not pittsburgh. sorry. i want to be there, but they want me here. it was hard for me. but that’s that.

    we got home at 7:00 tonight. i went over to my sister’s place immediately after a shower. my parents left for a little get-away at 9:30 which means i’m home with the kids for the next few days. the guy who will be living with us dropped by and left at 11:30. and my sister sits here at 12:15 playing jeff buckley (one of my favorite artists). craziness. welcome to my life.

    This is our last goodbye
    I hate to feel the love between us die
    But it’s over
    Just hear this and then i’ll go
    You gave me more to live for
    More than you’ll ever know

    This is our last embrace
    Must I dream and always see your face
    Why can’t we overcome this wall
    Well, maybe it’s just because i didn’t know you at all

    Kiss me, please kiss me
    But kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation
    You know it makes me so angry ’cause i know that in time
    I’ll only make you cry, this is our last goodbye

    - jeff buckley, grace


  5. me cool? i don’t think so.

    August 1, 2005 by louissa

    there is something so refreshing about spending time with Jesus. quiet times are such a good thing.

    i’d like to say i did it just to get my sister off my back. but i don’t think that’s it. i’m really not quite sure what posessed me as i went up and grabbed the mic. “can i have something a little faster?” i asked, wanting a faster beat. louissa, this isn’t spain! what are you doing? who knows what i was doing. but as i did my rhyme i realized i was incredibly uncomfortable and that i probably hadn’t ever done anything as stupid as this. in spain i had a crowd to work off of. they loved me — i was american and anything i did was cool. here? i’m a white chic, who wears leaves in her hair (i’m sorry if i embarrassed anyone), who chews on toothpicks (and i thought everyone did that), who is about as uncool as your going to get, and can not rap. wow. what was wrong with me last night? perhaps it is time for me to go home… i fit there. we all sit around with toothpicks in our mouths, and they are used to it when my drink ends up all over the table because i laughed just as a took a drink. they laugh at my dance moves, but can’t say much since they can’t do better. up there, i blend in, because everyone is like me.

    so pretty much, stacie is correct. you can’t get much whiter then a redhead.
