Everyone Alive

so i haven't felt a need to write on this for over a year and i'm not so sure i do now. this will probably not make it through to the update status but who knows, i haven't gone this far in that time. not that it's a big deal if i do, i found myself here though. i'm much older now and hate the heat more. i'm getting married - who isn't? i've figured out that i'm probably not going to write the next great american novel. i still like to kid myself that someday i'll go to grad school. do i want to teach college classes? kristen and i are so close and yet i feel like leslie gets the wrong impression. it's complicated to talk about here because probably the only one who might read this is leslie, if she has me on her friends page. there is also that goth girl who posted that one time. i want her to be happy for me, not that she definitely isn't. it's just there as a maybe. for some reason i checked my mail today thinking that mark would have written me. yeah, i should probably just email him but the idea of it seems off. there's a good chance that we never talk to each other face to face, on the phone again after being basically best friends. i visited leslie in california. that was a big thing. krissy and i went to chicago and it was perfect. we have been in wyoming for 9 months and i'm happy. it's weird how they just decided at the last minute where we would be. erin and dave, who will be longtime friends, wouldn't be. i think i'm a little too eased in here. i want to go on an adventure and yet i don't. i had all last week off as a break from work and the first thing i thought was that i was going to call chris and go down there and then i did nothing, i didn't even call him to see if he was busy. i wish jamie would come and visit and i would get to hang out with her once even if it was a forced visit just to stop in while i was watching mcguyver while i was sick. i haven't been able to write anything since i graduated. i'm not all that mad about it either. i have a feeling that comming up there is going to be a time where i just can't stop. our apartment is way too hot. i'm clicking the update button for you sebby.

Sun, 14 Mar 2004 14:34:46 GMT

and we're back. i started a poem a couple of days ago and realized that i'm going to have to keep writing all the time. it had been about two months of no writing, i just needed a rest from it after school. i'll read jab by mark halliday today i think. anyways, it's an exciting time around these parts. a bunch of cds come out on the 6th like kweller and modest mouse. oh yeah, that other disc comes out that day too. i'll be in chicago ill to buy it. hopefully the ticket info for this fritz's corner show will come out soon and we will get tickets. the metro is going to be awesome and my two girls will be there with me. i really can't wait to hang out with ljo. it was weird that i just saw her like four days ago. so yeah, i've got to get this trip together so she/i/krissy can start getting happy about it. also exciting: march madness.

Tue, 02 Mar 2004 08:04:41 GMT

kristen is at the glammys in california. it felt good to watch forever eden or whatever the name of that show was with leslie over the phone. so i guess the vacation that i'm trying to plan to chicago and michigan isn't going to work no matter what i do. every band i like is breaking up. hmm, i was going to write in here but now i'm just tired.

Sat, 21 Feb 2004 20:41:30 GMT

things are starting to come together. hahaha, sorry, i just thought it would be funny if i started my entry with a statement like that. i feel bad because i told krissy i would clean the store with her this morning before it opened if we didn't have to do it last night and then this morning i was really really sick. i almost threw up every time i moved. so now i have the whole day off (my boss is nice) and i'm just sitting around here being sick. i remember one time i was sick when i was little and at some weird lady's house. i think she was our babysitter at the time or something and i watched jaws for the first time. i'm excited that leslie, and possibly others, might come out here for her spring break. then, in april, i think krissy and i are going out to chicago and then to michigan. like i said, things are starting to come together.

i am totally glamour

Fri, 20 Feb 2004 07:52:41 GMT

so i work at glamour shots now selling pictures. it's actually kinda fun. i'm so excited about local h. today the web site was updated and with new dates and i guess the tour is starting off in zion at fritz's corner. WOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i move away and they play there and at the metro again. i think i need to plan a trip. they're also playing vermont which seems like it would be close but i guess there is no highway that goes there so it would take like 5 hours according to yahoo. i want to go to the movies tomorrow. there is a live bunny at glamour shots for kids to take their picture with and her name is miss elliot.

or something

Wed, 04 Feb 2004 05:22:53 GMT

warning, oscar talk ahead. meesa (what else could start off oscar talk other than a meesa?) got done watching lost in translation and now i really don't know what my vote will go for on oscar night. i thought it had no chance for my vote but now....now. it was between rotk (real fans use initials)and mystic river (mr....uh wait, that's already taken). i was torn because i don't know if lord should win being part just part of something you know. now mr. lit and the king have a chance.

speaking of local h, i'm getting very excited about april 6 because i guess the new album has been "leaked" to the internet and people on the message board are sharing thoughts on it. it's like 2 months!!! i love the extra guitar part for how's the weather on this show.

i've got my car back.

Sat, 17 Jan 2004 15:43:29 GMT

due to the fact that my car no longer starts i think i'll stay in today. a band, any band, needs to get some tour dates up. i don't care if they are in april. maybe today i'll write the modern epic, i mean i was up at 9:30. then again i'm not blind...dang. maybe i'll listen to like 15 cds. i wish leslie and i would have had our 24 hours of music. i haven't given up hope though. ok superdrag, the jokes over, it's time to get back together.

Wed, 14 Jan 2004 20:13:47 GMT

CABLE GUY. actually, there were two of them and they kept saying dude to each other. one was an older man. i can't even really remember how they said dude but i couldn't believe it, like totally forcing it at times. the stuff they hooked up is dynamite.....is that really how you spell that? hmmmm. yeah, anyways, i was excited to see that we get mtv2, although i've heard it has gone downhill lately too. also, i get all the celtics games! maybe i can learn to hate them as much as the pistons....actually, probably, no, rick mahorn. i'm off to secretly get a cd player installed in krissy's car for her birthday. JAMIE DON'T FORGET TO WATCH THE OC TONIGHT. last week i barely saw it. the screen was so fuzzy you could hardly tell what was going on and the cord kept falling out of the back and i had to hook it up 3 or 4 times, missing vital dialogue. catch yall peeps lata.

Fri, 09 Jan 2004 15:08:55 GMT

due to an overwhelming number of e-mails requesting my return i have decided to come back to live journal. plus, since i just basically sit around every day i'll have plenty to talk about. yesterday krissy had her first day off in awhile. we managed to get an estimate on her car, eat at subway, go to this cd store that was very impressive like they had tons of cds and a section for local h, new copies of the no fun ep, hctz, putc and agad. they even had a section for triple3fastaction! ok, back to the list of stuff we did...pretend we are back up there...went to a cd store, drove to wilmington mass, got the alignment on her car done, saw return of the king, went to newbury comics, met her parents at texas roadhouse for dinner and then drove back up here. also, we heard nada surf inside of love on the radio. for some reason the dj was obsessed with it. he mentioned that he was going to play it at least 5 times before he actually did. he made everyone wait for it. i haven't been up to much. thank g dog leslie talked me into wanting lotr the ps2 game, it is really fun. some of the stages are amazing. we're about half-way through season 2 of family guy, that takes up quite a bit of time.

sorry to the faithful readers

Sun, 05 Oct 2003 07:14:29 GMT

hello faithful readers (leslie),
i'm sorry to announce that this will be my last journal entry. it was a stretch when just jamie and leslie read it and mark occasionally but now it seems kinda pointless. jamie deleted hers and mark never updates sooooooo....... leslie thank you for reading my journal and i will continue to read yours and comment on yours. to you journal, it has been a great run and we have shed a few tears and drinked a few dranks.

Fri, 19 Sep 2003 15:43:49 GMT

i'm off to Local H and i'm so ummm...ecstatic. wax ecstatic. i hope ljo has fun this weekend too at her party. i'm excited to see mr. maurer today, he needs to get up here more or i need to go visit him or something. i have no clothes clean. as opposed to clean clothes. i have a boat load of work due next week that i'm not looking forward to. oh well, as long as i get to local h on time and see the whole show tonight i'll do any amount of work. oh yeah, i was going to make chris a cd of local h stuff. yeah, i've gotta do that, sorry journal junkies.

Wed, 17 Sep 2003 03:28:02 GMT

ok, leslie gave me permission to get excited about local h friday and i am now doing that. i'm like super pumped, especially after the august 1st disaster and everything that's building up to this show. i just really wish leslie felt comfy going because i want her there. being sick hasn't gotten me off to a good start this semester, but yeah, it's the last one so i need to get on track. tomorrow i have to give a presentation on "the end of the affair" by graham greene and i'm kind of pretending it (the presenation not the book) doesn't exist. the book was actually pretty good, although i thought it could have been better. greene himself (sorry just wanted to write that) said he rushed the ending and i felt that too even before i read that quote. anyone heard dashboard's cover of weezer's jamie?

Tue, 09 Sep 2003 16:26:34 GMT

i haven't updated in a couple of days because i went to maine to see a certain girl. it really sucks that i might not see her again until i move out there in december...i'm not looking forward to that. we went to superdrag's last show, or at least their last show for some time and it was a rockin' good time. then i got sick. yesterday i missed my classes, i had the worst headache i think i've ever had. then today i went to spanish and had a really hard time getting through it because i was coughing, couldn't see (my glasses have conveniently broken a few weeks ago), snuffing snot, and covered in sweat. i got so hot, it was sick. i'm not sure if i'm going to my next class cause that last one was horrible. leslie and i had a lot of fun watching passions last night, when don't we? anyways, yeah, i don't feel that good. waaa waaa.

Tue, 02 Sep 2003 04:32:27 GMT

when life throws you apples, make them into lemonade. i like life right now, there is just something about it. for example, passions was on today. that is something i forgot to write about in my summary of this summer, all the great moments in passions. like hastings in that hotel room and grace saying, "david, you're a drug addict." and charlie chomping on that snack in beth's living room. and, of course, hollywood. for those readers not obsessed with passions you can now start reading again. i go see krissy thursday. i can't wait, it seems like it has been a really long time since i've seen her. we are going to see what may be superdrag's last show in boston. it's amazing because i didn't think i would be seeing them for a really long time. they are making a dvd of the show. leslie and i are in the cooler heads video. i didn't really do anything today.........i mean except writing the next great american novel, of course. ahhh yes, the great american novel. NO NEW JAIL!

one post to rule them all

Mon, 01 Sep 2003 10:44:44 GMT

summer:
-i worked
-leslie and i came up with some great new sayings and had times like only we can.
-i saw krissy only once.
-i saw local h at the double door and it was one of the best.
-i saw local h at schubas and it was not one of the best because i got stuck in traffic and only saw the last four songs. hearing high fiven mf blasting through the town of chicago (it was outside) while driving around in my car was quite the experience though.
-i got to hear my dad say, "well, fuck you." to a guy at work, there's a good chance i'll never forget that.
-ben lee twice.
-nada surf.
-hulk. leslie with her "patch" and i with my "patch," lets see if anyone gets that.
-a family trip that was, um, how do i be nice?.....good-intentioned.
-haha, writting out those questions on the way home from that trip.
-mom blowing me a kiss at the hotel on that trip.
-chris, especially cao cao, walking up to some alleyway in chicago and finding him watching local h and then how happy/relieved he was that i made it, seinfield and individual pizzas.
-i cleaned the building with leslie. we act crazy in there.......only in there.......
-playing final fantasy with leslie, remember borris flying accross the screen?
-i stayed over at kurt's house. oh my god, kurt is married.
that's about it. yes, i'm out of the list now and am just writing. i played a few games of nba live and i might have booted up sims a couple of times but other than that i can't think of too much more. leslie bought me the hours dvd, which was really nice of her. she pretty much tried to make me happy all summer, which was even nicer of her. the internet is much slower at my house, like 1990s fast, so i didn't go online much. here's what a typical post that would have surfaced over the summer would have been like:

"it's hot today because it's july 31st. i had to work today because it is the summer and i'm not back in school yet. man, this internet connection is slow, not anything like pipeline GOLD, that would be so nice to use right now. i wonder what my room, that will exist later, in a few months, will look like? i hope we get an apartment. we need to get an apartment to live in once school starts and we don't have this house my parents own to live in. that's all for today, july 31st, talk to you all later, maybe on like august 1st. wait, i'll be at local h tomorrow, august 1st, so probably not. i really hope the traffic isn't so bad tomorrow that i go 4 miles in 3 hours. ok, wish me luck tomorrow, august 1st 2003."

yeah, well, um, i think it might be time for me to go now because it's almost 7. we got a regular count dracula over here.

it was a very tight race for my current mood between "hungry" and "dirty." hey leslie if i was going to put down the weirdest thing today it would be something dad just said on the phone. i'll tell you about it when you get out of the shower in a couple of minutes. anyways, he said something along the lines of "well, hes got a plan for you up there." ok, you are out of the shower so i'm going to hop in. goodbye all.

Thu, 10 Apr 2003 18:47:45 GMT

yes i know, this seems forced. things are messed up. maybe not messed up but definately confusing. i don't know where i'm going to live or what i'm going to do and i'm graduating really soon, next semester. maine would be a fun place to live right? this semester has somehow been a big mess and i don't even know how i got so behind. i have no job for the summer and i want it to be good. on the other hand things have been going good. krissy is comming in four days. how shall i keep her here? i wish i had another time to get my story critiqued. yes that's right, i want more work and that's not even an empty statement. maybe i'll listen to music all night. i wish there were no ants. i think i just decided to go to graduate school. breaking news.

Thu, 10 Apr 2003 07:35:45 GMT

it's a decent sauce ma.

Mon, 07 Apr 2003 05:59:35 GMT

yesterday was extremely great, today extremely not great. i've been super out of it today in every way. this paper i have to write is becomming really hard. like leslie said and i said she was wrong (um why, i don't know..), "it's hard to concentrate." maybe i should get up tomorrow really early and do it but then again i'm not too good at that. yesterday was just amazing, we went to see a band called local h in chicago and it doesn't even seem that real to me. hey, i've already written more for my journal then i have for my paper. this is not getting done tonight. i will get up tomorrow. you got the money, we got the soul.

Sun, 30 Mar 2003 07:44:59 GMT

i can finally post again, wow does it feel weird...no more comments. i'm glad we got terra back in final fantasy, i had a great time playing that today with leslie. later leslie and mark and i watched a local h dvd and it was amazing, it got me even more excited to see them next week. it seems like it has been sooooo looooong even though its only been 3 months. it would be especially rad if chris could come so that all four of us could go again. the whole local h gang would be there minus krissy. don't worry about her though because she is seeing them on back to back nights. i'm writing this entry weird; i don't know how to write real entries anymore. i had some serious problems this week with my computer and it made me miss fiction writing and not be able to turn in a story. oh well. where am i going to work this summer? nothing sounds good enough and nothing sounds bad enough. uh-huh. mom's boyfriend was good in the movie leslie and i watched today. piggy took a bath yesterday and he is bright pink (well as bright pink as piggy gets these days). i could watch a clockwork orange right now. i think i spend too much time mindlessly looking up stuff online. what the kids call surfing the web. actually, that sounds like a really good idea right about now! pretend there is something here to top this entry off and make you feel like it was worth reading.

Fri, 28 Feb 2003 05:53:21 GMT

to whom it may concern,
i'm feeling kinda funky. i stayed up all last night writing a story. my mind is working slow, so um, time for a journal entry. i'm wicked excited about going to see krissy this week. i'm wicked bummed that ben kweller is sold out. hopefully my hookup will come through. i want to see local h right now. ben lee is on trl (last call or whatever) tonight! thats like 40 minutes warning so i will be expecting everyone to tune in and give me their comments. should i go gandalf the gray gandy the white?

sincerely,

victor harold perrine

Thu, 27 Feb 2003 21:39:44 GMT

i wrote a story last night and I really don't know what to think about it. hmmm, i've just been messed up lately in regards to writing fiction. who knows. i'm going to see krissy this week (you know for that spring break thing) ummm, well, i think i should go now before leslie beats me.

Mon, 24 Feb 2003 07:31:00 GMT

i had a great weekend. my parents and i had a good time and i loved the movie the hours. after we got out my mom said that it was a "chick flick" and i totally disagreed. i was under the impression that "chick flicks" were where two people that were meant for each other fall in love, then something gets in the the way of them being together and then when it seems impossible for them to get together they do. my mom said that anything emotional about women is a chick flick and she said it in the way that her opinion was just the universally accepted one. i gave the example that every movie like sleepless in seatle i had heard as being labelled a cf but that i had never heard of a movie like forrest gump, which i thought of one that you are supposed to cry at the end of (right?), a cf. to that she just said that it wasn't about women so it wasn't one........at that point i let it go because it sounded like it was going to turn into something i didn't want it to. so um yeah i don't know what i was getting at with all that. on to day two of the weekend. it was amazing but kurt and i got along as good, if not better than we ever did. i'm not sure if things could have gone much better. i couldn't believe i had so many stories to tell about what had been going on with me for the last 3 years. anyways, i won't get into it all but i had a fantastical time. even when we went to chris' and there were tons of people we didn't know and it was just weird, he felt weird too and i didn't think he would. hahhaha, vincent called while we were there and said he was having a "last minute" party. and chris said, like totally dissapointed that it was "bring your own stuff." oh well, at least there was the foosball table at chris' apartment or it would have been a total waste to go. actually, i take that back, it would have been worth it just for the vanilla ice on the way back. some of those songs are sooooooooooooooooooo bad. not ice ice baby of course, but some of the OTHER songs. well, i have to write a paper in spanish now. i think im going to buy the new nada surf album tomorrow...or at least look for it. i'm suure they will have it somewhere in mt. pleasant.

-terl

Fri, 21 Feb 2003 16:57:10 GMT

tomorrow i'm going to meet up with kurt, who i haven't seen in like three years to hang out. i hope it goes ok, it's going to be very weird though. i hope we can think of things to do and stuff. i imagine us just sitting there in silence. we do have chris', which is a savior. i'm excited to see him, it's just going to be weird. tonight i'm going out with my folks and i want to see the hours but when i said that leslie didn't seem too keen on it because she wanted to see it and will be up here studying all weekend for her 15 tests next week. it will be tough but i think she will hang in there. leslie rules. well, i better get my stuff together so that i can go to my parents house. goodbye cruel world.
