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.

Thu, 11 Aug 2005 01:49:51 GMT

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

Fri, 13 May 2005 00:51:53 GMT

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.

Tue, 15 Mar 2005 02:56:44 GMT

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.

Thu, 03 Feb 2005 02:47:34 GMT

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.

The words you know, the tune you hummed.

Wed, 26 Jan 2005 02:34:51 GMT

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.

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.

So if I were a duck...

Fri, 14 Jan 2005 02:24:38 GMT

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.

Thu, 13 Jan 2005 02:27:52 GMT

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.

Wed, 12 Jan 2005 03:17:58 GMT

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.

Mon, 03 Jan 2005 04:13:53 GMT

So if I were a tree...

Wed, 29 Dec 2004 18:54:51 GMT

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.

I just wanted to remind you...

Intro: This is a song, that uh, there’s a lot of Xmas songs out there, but not too many about Hanukkah, so I wrote a song for all those nice little Jewish kids who dot get to hear any Hanukkah songs--here we go...

Put on your yarmulke, here comes Hanukkah
Its so much fun-akkah to celebrate Hanukkah,

Hanukkah is the Festival of Lights,
Instead of one day of presents, we have eight crazy nights.

When you feel like the only kid in town without a Xmas tree,
[Heres a list of people who are Jewish, just like you and me:

David Lee Roth lights the menorah,
So do James Caan, Kirk Douglas, and the late Dinah Shore-ah

Guess who eats together at the Carnegie Deli,
Bowzer from Sha-na-na, and Arthur Fonzerelli.

Paul Newman’s half Jewish; Goldie Hawn’s half too,
Put them together--what a fine lookin Jew!

You don’t need Deck the Halls or Jingle Bell Rock
Cause you can spin the dreidl with Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock--both Jewish!

Put on your yalmulka, its time for Hanukkah,
The owner of the Seattle Supersonic-ahs celebrates Hanukkah.

O.J. [Simpson-- not a Jew!
But guess who is...Hall of Fame-r-- Carew--(he converted!)

We got Ann Landers and her sister Dear Abby,
Harrison Fords a quarter Jewish--not too shabby!

Some people think that Ebeneezer Scrooge is,
Well, he’s not, but guess who is: All three stooges.

So many Jews are in show biz--
Tom Cruise isn’t, but I heard his agent is.

Tell your friend Veronica, it’s time you celebrate Hanukkah
I [hope I get a harmonica, on this lovely, Hanukkah.

So [drink your gin-and-tonic-ah, and smoke your marijuanic-ah,
If you really, really wanna-kah, Have a happy, happy, happy, happy Hanukkah.

Adam Sandler - Hanukkah Song Part Two Lyrics

Time to take out those menorahs!

Put on your yamaca

It's time for Hanukkah

So much fun-uka

To celebrate Hanukkah

Hanukkah is, the festival of lights

Instead of one day of presents

We get eight crazy nights

When you feel like the only kid in town

Without a Christmas tree

Here's a new list of people who are Jewish

Just like you and me

Winona Ryder drinks Manashevits' wine

Then spins a dredl with Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein

Guess who give and receives loads of Hanukkah toys?

The girls from Barukasouhl and all three Beastie Boys

Lenny Kravitz is half Jewish, Courtney Love is half too

Put them together, what a funky, bad-ass Jew

We got Harvey Kitell and falsh dancer Jennifer Bills

Jasmins Bleuth from Baywatche is Jewish and

Yes her boobs are real

O.J. Simpson, still not a Jew

But guess who is, the guy who does the voice for

Scooby-Doo

Bob Dylan was born a Jew, then he wasn't, but now he's back

Mary Tyler Moore's husband is Jewish 'cuz we're pretty good

In the sack

Guess who got bar mitzvah-ed on the PGA tour?

No I'm not talking about Tiger Woods, I'm talking about

Mr. Happy Gilmore

So many Jews are in the show-biz

Bruce Springsteen isn't Jewish, but my mother thinks he is

Tell that old harmonica, it's time to celebrate Hanukkah

It's not pronounced Chanukkah

The C is silent in Hanukkah

So your your Hooked on Phonic-a

Get drunk in Teawonica

If you really really wanna-ka

Have a happy, happy, happy, happy Hanukkah

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."

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.

It's as simple as something that nobody knows.

Fri, 29 Oct 2004 00:42:15 GMT

So it is official that I am a true gifted kid, or just a dork. Yesterday I manage to fall without even standing up. I should get an award for this feat, but instead I have a big bruise spanning the entire length of my upper leg and another bruise on the top of my foot.

Here is what happened, because I'm certain that you are fully interested in my mishaps: I was alseep on the couch when the phone rang, but it was across the room. So, instead of standing up from the sofa to get the phone, I decided it would be easier if i rolled off the couch first and then got up from there. So, post-rolling, I went to get my feet under me to stand up, but I was wearing socks. Naturally, I slipped and smacked my leg on the hard floor and my foot slammed into the coffee table. AND it reeally hurt. So there i was, scrambling for the phone and crying at the same time. My dogs where trying to "help" me, but they ended up just freaking out because i was crying and laughing at the same time.

so here is a quote that was on the board in history:
"If a tree falls in the forest and it springs back upright as a joke, do the squirrels freak out?"

Fri, 22 Oct 2004 16:27:58 GMT

I am off to texas, but i will bring you back a village idiot.

It's good to be king.

Wed, 06 Oct 2004 01:32:14 GMT

I had another excellent day. But the pessimist in me keeps waiting for everything to collapse; it's as though i can't allow myself to enjoy stuff. Like most everyone else, I am not exactly looking forward to the con. Because someone is going to accuse me of being a bitch, and not in a joking way. I most definetly will need a hug by the end of this weekend. Maybe a group hug, and a trip to the movies with Caitlin.

But for now, I am going to try and actually feel happy for once without a metaphoric cloud hanging over my head.

Are elephants the only mammals that cannot jump?

Thu, 16 Sep 2004 01:23:34 GMT

Does anyone know if a rhinoceros can jump? i've been dying to know for a few days now, and the only thing that google turned up was an animated rhino jumping on a trampoline.

Mon, 30 Aug 2004 00:15:35 GMT

Inspirations come standard.
