If you wanna know the secret behind the smile...

Ahoy thar! Today be Talk Like a Pirate Day and I am really excited about it. People even dressed up with me. So you should celebrate as well. Celebrate or ye shall know the depths of Davy Jones' locker.

Google Talk Like a Pirate Day. Avast!

This year my church is teaching a Sunday school class called The Gospel According to the Simpsons....sometimes I really love being a UU.

This week has been better, I think. I'm learning to deal which is something that I need to learn how to do better. I hope Denise is doing ok, I miss her already.

I love how the beatles make me feel nostalgic. I'm feeling much better this weekend. Especially after the very materialistic purchase of one "little black dress" for my cousin's wedding. And after working some more on my college essay. I love writing stuff like this (not so much the journal as the essay). Anywho, youth group is gonna make me sad this weekend because of certain important people leaving for bigger and better things. I shall miss all of you.

I feel like a bad, bad person. I seriously need help. I'm stuck in a hole with no ladder and someone took my shovel. I

ok, just a quickie. I got an email on my gmail account today from a woman at an african safari travel agency, it said:

Hi Justin

How was your honeymoon to Eagle Island Camp?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Best regards
Kirsty

What do I do, do I email her back, do I delete it? Who owes me $5 for her thinking my name is justin? What am I gonna say...Yes, I enjoyed my honeymoon with my life partner, leslie. The rhinocerous were outstanding, especially with a little minced garlic. Thanks again, see you at our ten years? geez.

So uh, I won Youth Co-Chair for the coming year. I am sooo nervous. And my dad won Advisor of the Year, So my mother sent out this email announcing it to our First Church friends so our First Church Non-Friends find out and they can see how awesome we still are and how we have overcome their anger. Shabaam.

At any mention of college lately, I seem to feel like bursting into tears. I feel somehow that this is not normal. I hate stress.

So Katie reminded me how much I love Audrey Hepburn movies. And you should too. Watch these (at least):

1. Roman Holiday: Absolutely the best movie ever, with Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck. I hated the movie the first time I saw it but I won't say unless you've already seen it. I had to watch it again before I fell in love with it, but boy did I ever.

2. Sabrina: Totally awesome as well, but not quite to par. Humphrey Bogart doesn't do it for me quite like Gregory Peck does. I thought I owned a copy of the movie, but then I remember I got it for a friend whom I no longer talk to, which is sad (and not because I don't get to see the movie...).

3. Breakfast at Tiffany's: I don't remember much about this movie except a bit of the middle and how beautiful the ending is. I'll have to watch it again, but it's wonderful I'm sure.

Ok. So that's it. I apologize for the randomness of this post. Just deal or Don't read (except this is at the bottom, so if you've read this far and you hated it, then you're dumb and deserved to read the whole thing).

I'm in Oakland right now. It's about seven at night in Orlando...and according to my sister I've been up since Four am Oakland time. I'm a sleepy head. Tomorrow we'll be in San Fran and I'll finally be "home". That's all. Chinese food shall follow and sleep...

Something's happening at the zoo. I do believe it's true.
Boston was amazing. I absolutely loved everything. My favorite was walking out to the island in the middle of a humonguous lake (it was completely frozen...15in thick ice).

People were amazing. I think I learned the most about myself when Denise and I had a talk and cried together. ANd then when the all the girls spent awhile chatting. Also, when Denise slept between Sam and I because she was being cute and a little bit scared. In short: Lack of Co-Ed sleeping turned out to be more awesome then I thought it would.

Jimmy asked me to prom. I said YES!!! of course. And then I told him that he should wear the dress and I should wear the tux...only, he didn't find that as amusing as I did. Sorry Jimmaaay.

Show me the blueprints.

So I felt like a total failure today. God, it sucks to be a depressant, Because you always find the cloud in the silver lining. And I am not going to get into college. But as my english teacher kindly pointed out to me today, valencia has an excellent honors program. grrrrrr.

In ten years, when I am successful, I am either going to donate the money for a new building at valencia's honors program (if i am monetarily successful...) or i am going to be so amazingly successful at something else, that valencia is going to want to name a building specializing in the field of study that I am amazingly successful at, damnit. that's right, you heard me. and now for some wallowing in self-pity, because if the depression is only temporary, then I might as well enjoy it whilst it lasts...just kidding.

Current Mood: blasphemous...get it?

The words you know, the tune you hummed.
I am tired of religion, but not spirituality. They are not synonymous. UUism is part of my heritage because I identify with it, so just because I don't practice doesn't mean I am not...just to clarify.

Otherwise a pretty good day overall. My socks are a-rockin'.

Is it weird that I used to get Elton John and John Lennon mixed up?? I mean, I just got their only names mixed up, but eh.

Current Music: Elton John-Tiny Dancer

I still haven't found my purpose...
So it turns out somethings change for the better. In the battle of Life vs. Justine, the score is Life-0, Justine-2. Guess who's winning?

And sometimes you have to do things that you hate or are afraid of. I'm not sure why, but it probably has something to do with character building and not living under a rock for eternity, or at least for high school.

Current Mood: bouncy
Current Music: Avenue Q-Everyone's a Little Bit Racist

So if I were a duck...
I have absolutely nothing to say. But I'm sure I'll find something. Senor Dormando had this quote on his board today that said something like: "Love is the crocodile in the river of desire." Whoa. I don't know why that amuses me. At all. It's the little things that make me laugh, like life. Only, I suppose that isn't so little. And neither is a crocodile. But a duck is definetly little. Or medium-small. Qauck.

Current Mood: woooooo

I found someone today who thought my abnormally-large-tub-of-mayonnaise-story slightly amusing. Now there is someone to laugh with.

GOsh I'm a dork.

With all the strange stuff happening in my life, and my grades dropping like a very small rock in water...all I could think about today in History was a Small child falling into an over-sized vat of mayonnaise. It's kinda a strange story to explain, and I suppose that I'll explain it someday. I was cracking up so much in history, but nobody could figure it out because frankly, reconstruction isn't that funny.

I am such a dork that today I wanted to hide in my shell like a turtle or a hermit crab, or someone who is shy. I really do want to get to know you better, I'm just bad at some things.

Current Mood: abbinormale
Current Music: white stripes

So if I were a tree...

SO they've dissolved YRUU at the First Unitarian Church of Orlando. So much for youth empowerment. I've left the church. They can kiss my large, fuzzy, white ass for all I care about them.

The ebbing of Manifest Destiny
It seems I always forget how much I love talking to Jen, and how it helps me so much. And although I learned more than I wanted to know about her family, I love her just the same...as usual.

Conversation in Physics today with the skinny gymnast that sits next to me:

Gymnast: "My coach says that I look like the Pillsbury Dough Girl."

Me: "Well, if you're the Pillsbury Dough Girl, then I must be the Pillsbury Dough Elephant."

Current Mood: amused
Current Music: James Taylor

So ten years in Florida, and I finally got my first "how-to-be-a-redneck-lesson" at Crash-a-Rama. Totally worth it. I never thought that I would enjoy watching a school bus tip over or be sad when it teeters on the edge of falling and then doesn't. Oh man! and I got to see this car flip over like three times. Ohhh. Some engines caught on fire, but they had a super-duper fire extinguisher on hand. Oh man, I wanna go again. Parrrrtay.

St. Augustine tonight and I get my fortune read in Cassadega...yes! and then Beach Tomorrow with Caitlin and the McElroys. Sounds like a band...only not.

Current Mood: crazy
