"ha, wow. you're really smart. i've dated smart girls before but you, you're smart smart smart. you're a smarty." --lan
haha. he cracks me up.
so last night i had a dream about sean c. the night before i had a dream about a europe trip that i wasn't very well-packed for, and a dream about having a penis (again). i have a lot of dreams about fighting with mom, regardless of whether or not i actually have any negative feelings towards her in waking life. and i also had more dreams about neglecting my pets, too, of course (cuz i have a lot of those dreams). ...why don't i have more dreams about ben and peter? ...i don't know.
steve (lan's friend): so are you gonna date lan?
me: i dunno.
steve: why don't you try him out. give it a shot. he talks about ya. he'll be nice, too, he'll take you out on a real date.
so at planned parenthood i found out i'm actually 5'7. i thought i was 5'6. i'm 137 lbs and i have 89/50 blood pressure.
oh yeah so that planned parenthood visit was expensive. after i went there i remembered jake telling me, after i'd expressed concern that he hadn't pulled out in time, "go to planned parenthood." after i'd been there and experienced the prices of their services firsthand, i realized what i should've said to jake right then: "you know what? i have a better idea. how about if you take me the fuck to planned parenthood. and bring your wallet."
the other night mom tried to make me feel bad about being picked up by that guy in north carolina, because she was making the long treacherous ten-minute walk back to the condo as we were doing it.

the other day mom told me you're not supposed to water plants while the sun is beating down on them at midday in a heatwave. that might explain a few of the plants i've killed in the past. i always would've figured if anything it's better to water them when the sun's beating down on them at midday in a heat wave. the sun beating down on them like that must make them parched. they would probably appreciate someone quenching their thirst.
i've been analyzing myself as a caregiver (of children) lately and trying to figure out exactly why i wouldn't be a good parent (i've had that feeling for a long time). seems like with kids you basically need to do three things: teach them, entertain them and be responsible for them. i can teach and entertain them pretty well. well i mean i'm good at explaining things to them and when i'm in giddy hyperactive moods i can be good at entertaining them too, but i can't be responsible for them quite as well. or when i'm in responsible-for-them mode, that's when i can't as easily be playful with them. a lot of people can be both playful and responsible at the same time, but that's just harder for me.
haha we were watching bambi the other day. it was the first time in a long time that i'd seen it. the whole "twitterpated" part of the movie has to be the cutest funniest part of any disney movie.
tori completes me. she just...you know...if it wasn't for her i might still be talking to sean m (not that it's totally definite that we're not talking anymore but it's probable). i mean, the fact that someone needs me to be strong, makes me strong. she is weak because she's dependent on her relationship with mike, therefore she needs me not to be like that. she needs me not to be a weak dependent person. she needs me to be strong, to be there for her, to be her hero, to be on her side when she gets in fights with mike or when he bullies her. the fact that she needs me to be strong, makes me a stronger person. it's such a beautiful thing. it's the most beautiful inspirational relationship i've had in a long time.
last week or so for whatever reason peter kept saying "ding dong dell, kitty is in the well." it was starting to get really annoying until mom said to him "ding dong dell, peter begins to smell." it just cracked him up, and he kept trying to think of more things that rhyme with "ding dong dell." whenever i think of that i still keep cracking up.
lan told me all his friends can tell i have asperger syndrome. or he said they just wanted to know why i'm socially inept and it takes me a minute to respond and answer questions. yea so i guess i can't hide that as well as i thought i could. ...but there's also the fact that a lot of them were trying to talk to me as i was tattooing. of course it's going to take me longer to respond to people when i'm trying to focus on tattooing.
i skipped a period for the first time ever. i don't know what it means. it concerns me a bit, but only when i think about it too much.
i would've sold vinny's cage by now if it wasn't for the possibility that someone in my family is getting me some kind of animal for my birthday. i guess it'll be good if i do get one and good if i don't get one. there's always the extra responsibility and extra money associated with new pets after all.
today we were at the steamtown train museum and the steamtown mall and cooper's.
i had more dreams about fighting with mom last night. ...in these dreams where i fight with mom, it always starts with her either doing something to belittle me or my accomplishments, or doing something to make me feel like she doesn't pay enough attention to me or care enough about me or something. ...again, these dreams aren't representative of real waking life. nevertheless, they keep occurring.
i took a walk in the offroads around lake winola. some parts of that area are pretty creepy. there are several dilapidated abandoned houses and trailers.
tiffany sawyer deleted me as a friend on facebook. that's ok i guess. i remember a while back, attempting to write poetry about her and then just not being inspired enough by her to be able to write anything.
yesterday i floated in an inner tube in the lake while i sipped a rum & coke. harry & molly swam too. the water was sooooooo fuckin nice. it was hard to get molly back out of the lake once she'd been in it.
andrew m is trying to hang out with me again, andrew m who i haven't talked to in years. i kinda just blew him off.
i've been reading something called "the witches' datebook." what i don't get is how a certain planet or the sun or moon can be "in" a certain zodiac sign. that never made sense to me.
"game of thrones" is a damn good show. it'd be harder to keep up with, too, if i hadn't read the books, but i have.
oh, another similarity between me and lisbeth salander (the character) that i just thought of---we both look way younger than we are. oh also neither of us senses danger very well. well, actually, i guess it's not that we don't sense it but rather that we don't care about it as much as we probably should. therefore we willingly put ourselves into dangerous situations (for the thrill of it, or just because we want something that we feel is worth the danger, or for whatever reason). speaking of "the girl with the dragon tattoo" i've seen the previews for the american version of that movie. it's coming out in december. it kinda really pisses me off how ugly they made her look for the american version.
the other day i found out that pop-pop's father was a hypnotist, and one time a long time ago he hypnotized uncle chip into thinking that drinking, smoking and having sex were all evil, and then later on he ended up turning mormon. the whole family thinks that's why he ended up turning mormon.
