Brief Interview by Gypsy
How did you start playing folk music? “I was in a band and the creative limits were too restricting. I got very depressed so I bought a $10 guitar at the swap meet and a tape recorder and messed around for a couple weeks. After my lost weeks playing and recording I found the song “Modesto” on the tape and fell in love with a new type of sound I had created or stole.”
How did you come up with your song titles? “Basically I analyze the song and try to find hidden meaning then I give up and make up some ridiculous title.”
Did you ever actually go to Modesto? “I passed through here on my way to San Francisco. I like the city’s name because it sounded Western and reminded me of American Graffiti.”
If you were an animal what would you be? “Pigeon…I’m dirty.”
Deserted island, three things? “1. Angelina Jolie. 2. Ok Computer [vinyl]. 3. A raft--oh oh, but make sure it isn’t discovered till after I have my way with Angelina Jolie.”
One wish in life, what would it be? “Not watch any friends or family die.”
What are your plans for the future? “Get married and own a house.”
What is happiness? “Being a grandma with a warm gun.”

Well I'll be dying at 24. See, see, you don't believe in God...he/she comes back for you. Ah well. Since I'm dying so young, drugs, booze, sex anyone? Might as well live it up eh?
I have never been a fan of weather really. People keep talking about how "beautiful" today is. I don't really see sunshine as beautiful. There's probably something wrong with me.
Photo was lovely today. I got in the most awkward places and suffered conditions to get some wonderful shots. Ex. I climbed these HUGE tires and crept behind them while M squared took pictures and then I layed on top of Molly's 20348029384039 degree car. Practically burned my skin off. But I love that class and I love the people in there. Like yesterday Cambria and I talked about clothes and movies for an extensive time. We made fun of those velour/terry jumpsuits and said how amazing Donnie Darko and Zoolander are. Oh how I adore her. And of course M squared [Molly and Mindy] are always fun and we enjoy taking "sleazy" pictures.

post script. This is the last Public entry. Yes, yes, I know, I know, I have always been a firm believer against Friends Only. But I figure my lj friends are the only people who comment on my lj yet I KNOW tons of other people read it even though they don't comment. I'll probably post the occasional entry with pictures public or something, it's just I don't want to feel censored anymore. |

Today I spent my day reincarnating my love for old c.d.s. I went through my sister's music from when she was my age and had a lovely day reading and listening to Depeche Mode, The Police, and Pet Shop Boys. I think I have found a balance between being alone and being involved. I find myself alone a lot recently, in activity and in silence. And it really is such a comfort to be completey free of thought. I'm going to start meditating again and try to completey clear my mind. Keefer and I talked about this before, she has only once been able to completey clear her mind. I wish to accomplish such an achievement soon. I'm very wrapped up in the books I'm reading. Everything from romantic comedies to Salinger to some Woody Allen. I really do appreciate the company of others. When I'm with you, I really do enjoy you. I'd like you to know that because I know I can be very unappreciative of my friends, and I don't mean to. The ideals of society and an oppressed adolescent's perceptions of these ideals seem to come out in the things I say and do, and I don't want my words or actions to come off sincere. I hope I can keep this new found balance for a while. I really really hope I can. Because instability scares me oh so much. I have been looking through my sister's psychiatry books and the more I know about disorders, the more I think I have them all. Sometimes my own thoughts seem to scare me the most. Which is why I'm making a conscious decision to deflate these thoughts.

I got a digital camera. It's not that great granted my parents got it for free at some conference. But hell, it's still amusing. My dad gave me his old camera. So I'm using it for photo. I like it better than my digital. But I sort of already broke it. Oops.
Yesterday I had a lovely day. Lauren O. and I went to Savers, K-mart, Taco Bell, and the park. We both got some splendid things. And had wonderful conversations. And sang the pixies. And swung on swings.
The day before yesterday was nice as well. You can see mindy's livejournal for pictures and details. http://www.livejournal.com/users/play_tragic

Ale called me last night and we talked for a few hours. He's in New York and was telling me all about it. We kept getting giddy and exclaiming how I should be there right now instead of here. He told me to prostitute my body for a few days to get money for a ticket and visit him. I think I will.

When I grow up I have decided I'm going to become a psychiatrist specializing in drug addictions. When you have all ruined your lives on cocaine and heroin, I'll help you get things back together. Of course, I'll have to "confiscate" the drugs...but trust me, it will be in your own benefit.

I'm a studying machine!
Well sort of.
When I actually sit down.
Turn down my music.
I actually learn stuff.
Well there's still a lot to learn.
My house is a zoo.
We have construction workers in here like it's nobody's business.
They bring their families.
I practiced Spanish with one of their three year old daughters.
Her name was Angela.
She dyed her hair auburn.
She's three.
My parents are going to buy me a new tv.
It's silver with a dvd player and vcr.
It's 24 inches.
My favorite number.
I think my mom and I are throwing my sister a surprise party.
A bunch of medical students in our house.
I can invite friends.
So it will be a bunch of medical students in the living room discussing arteries.
And a bunch of juvenile delinquents in my room discussing sex and drugs and rockn'roll.
I love Lauren O. and Mindy P.
That is all for today.

Today was a wonderful day.
I woke up early in the morning [8 a.m.] and woke up the lovely Mindy Poder and we went to the beach [gasp]. We did a beach clean up which basically was us picking up cigarette butts for two hours because it was national no tobacco day. I ended up filling my bag up quick cuz i kept picking up 20 oz beer cans. Mindy and I had wonderful discussions under the pier. <3 A couple other kids were there and we would take many breaks and just sit on the sand.
Then Poder and I got jambas [yumm] and came back to the pier and asked if we could help with the no cigarrette fair thing to get our full community service credit for the year. So we end up asking people if they wanted to fill out surveys. I felt like one of those jesus freaks on the pier with the god-awful pictures of "supposed abortion" and stuff. Anyway, we surveyed people, people such as Debi [last name here cuz i don't remember it]. Debi is the lady from those anti-smoking commercials that has the hole in her neck. She really does sound and look the way she does in the commercials. It kinda shook me up.
Then some horrible bands played. Good lord. Horrible. I mean, bleh, just horrible. I referred to them as "all american rejects rejects." It was a definte comedic high.
Then we walked around the fair and got free stuff like these tiny nifty radios. They're the shit. Mindy and I are gonna become secret agents for this organization! All we have to do is walk in a store and see if they'll let us buy cigarettes...$5 a store, 20 stores a day...you do the math kid.
In the afternoon I came home and walked around my neighborhood peacefully listening to my new cool portable radio. And then I picked up Mindy again and we went to CPK's @ Fashion Island for dinner. Company: Megan Gorey, Christopher Bumcrot [long time no see], and Michelle Tran. It was quite a random group but a good one. Megan wanted the waiter, she couldn't stop talking about how hot the waiter was. We laughed a lot and made Christopher feel awkward--it's what we do best.
And now I'm home alone and have been for the past couple hours and am loving it. Sure I have tons of stuff to do and tons of upcoming events to worry about, but hell, all I can think about right now is sitting here, drinking water, watching good will hunting, and talking to mindy on aim. Oh greatest thing of the night:

Nicole is amazing. The girl made like four or five different pictures like that. She's so clever and I love her.
Overall, a serene wonderful day spent with a serene and wonderful girl [poder].

Instead of typing up the journal entry I wrote last night... Or telling you about cute DMV boy which I idiotically did not do anything about... Or describing my complex emotional turmoil...
This entire entry shall be dedicated to MISS MEGAN JOYCE GOREY!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY x 30472390472938742983!!!!
This girl is incredible. Infuckingcredible. She took me out on a date to Basilicios and even paid for me. She says she's obsessed with me and basically can cheer me up anytime I'm even remotely down. She and I have lots of things in common: similar taste in music [pattern? saturday?], feel uncomfortable around people we don't know, are members of the GGG, and share a love for the 80s. Megan is the type of person you'd be lucky to be friends with. She doesn't show up at school very much but when she does she makes that day better. I love you her oh so very much and hope she has a day just as wonderful as she is.

I had the most bizarre experience just a few minutes ago. I was taking another well needed walk in my neighborhoods. And let me take a moment just to explain to you how serene and peaceful these walks are. I'm away from my parents, my school, my friends, my image, my narcissim, my ego, and my insecurities. I was walking along and this cat walked by me and I ignored it, being the anti pet person that I am. Then later as I'm on the other side of the culvesac [sorry sp] this cat comes walking straight towards me. And for some pecuilar reason I just found so much compassion in me for this orange and white cat. It didn't purr or do the typial meow, but it sounded like it was quacking almost. Now I know nothing of cats, but is that normal? Anyways, this cat just started circling me and getting it's white hair all over my black pants and I just find that so symbolic because recently I've been searching for something pure to attempt to cover my personal evil. So I decide I enjoy the company of this cat and I end up petting it and the cat ends up laying on the cement. And I kneel down next to the cat and the cat just rolls back and forth for a good five minutes around this newspaper continuning with the duck sounds. And gets up everytime I show signs of getting up. I start to walk away feeling renewed and the cat follows me and I look back with a smile because how often to cats follow me right? So then I start walking back, constantly looking back to see it there and occasionally have to make that kiss noise to keep it from getting distracted. But then I don't know what happenend but we just seemed to drift. I looked back and the cat was a lot farther now and he wasn't following me anymore. And I felt so hopeless because it seems like I can never keep anything/anyone interested in me for too long. So I continue walking, thinking to myself how silly I am and how I'm superior to this stupid cat and after I'm a good ten houses away from the cat I look back and it's gone.

Short angry lj entry as follows:
I think Interpol was made to come on earth and upset me. Good lord will I ever see them? I mean seriously, this is getting depressing, how many times have they come to LA and I not been able to see them? How many? Well let me tell you!
*The Henry Fonda Theatre [twice] *Coachella [2nd day] *Festival in Reno [they cancelled it] *San Diego
And now Carlos is dj-ing at Bang on June 14th with the rest of the band and can I go? Fucking no because I'm not 18. Which brings me to my next points: I need a fake i.d. and I really should be 18. I mean a couple years older and I could legally continue my addiction to nicotine and move out and vote and you know etc etc. Grrr. Megan said she wanted to get fake i.d.'s, I think we should. It's not even like we want to use them to get drugs or drinks. We're not even into that stuff...that much. Hell, we're just two girls looking to dance around to good music with good people. Now let me ask you, is that so much to ask?
