This Rave's For You
When my little cousin Bryan was 17 I took him to his first rave, Electric Daisy Carnival. Oops the picture is from Airport 3 which I was also at. Anyways...He's almost 22 now!! Cuz, do you remember when it rained and all the drugged up people were huddling in the tents because they were cold? But we were sober and the rain felt awesome and it looked so cool with the lasers over the crowd. I wore my pink UFO pants and little blue top and was covered in mud. (I think it took me a year or so to finally clean all the mud off my sketchers, and it took us about five years to get out of that totally screwed up muddy parking field.) I cherish those times and I was so glad to get to expose you to some super cool stuff. I love you cousin!! Check out the visors and candy necklace on that guy... totally sweet...hahahaha I swear I'm going to be a raver for Halloween next year, it would be too funny. I still have those pink pants. ¶ 7/31/2005

I tried to go to EDC in Austin a few years ago, the one that ended up getting cancelled and move to the Asylum. We were so excited and then had to put up with the enormous number of ppl out @ Asylum and then that dude died there about 4am from the X.
Yeah, I had tickets for that too. We tried to go the Asylum but couldn't get in and were too old at that point to put up with crap. So we went home disappointed. That was the last rave I ever tried to go to.

Memories
So I'm really trying to fix all my archives. I finally caved and sent a message to the blogger peeps to help me figure out this whole mess. I was looking at old posts and I came upon one of the last electronic music shows I went to. I can't call it a rave because it was tiny and it was dark trance and "scene" was a different animal, things changed after 2001 but whatever.... A french dude named Talamasca played live and then also spun. And yes, that's me dancing in the pink shirt, what an animal. I tried to click on the picture and I found out that the picture on www.dallasdancemusic.com was archived. I feel like many years have passed but it's only been two. I've changed so much these past two years it blows my mind. I'm starting to forget what it feels like to be in my early twenties now that I'm firmly planted in my later. Sorry I make such a big deal about age but it's really that I've just changed so much that I relate in a much different way than I used to. Part of me hates feeling this difference but life would be boring if we always stayed as we are. And there's no way in hell I want to be in my early twenties or teens again, too much drama, too many people on a self-destructive path, too much drinking, lack of any security, moving all the freaking time, dealing with painful family issues (a new awareness of your parents and what they did to you), and simply put just too much mental and physical strain on your body. I like Bob Schneider's song "Getting Better." Life is getting better.

Murderball
Everyone should go see this movie, Murderball. Check out the Chronicle's review: http://www.austinchronicle.com/gyrobase/Calendar/Film?Film=oid%3A280172
I went to see this with my friend Brian yesterday, I didn't know at all what I was getting myself into. As it turns out, Zuppan was there to answer questions after the movie. He's a real guy, totally himself, very straightforward and honest in his responses. Brian asked some really interesting questions. I was too interested in what was going on to bother asking my own questions, plus I'm a wus with that kind of thing. Anyways, go see the documentary, you will not be disappointed.

Breaktime
Whoooo hooo I'm now on break! Two weeks away from high school and the kiddies. Not that I don't love them, well I just need some time to regroup and rejuvenate. I hope to get a ton of stuff done while I'm breaking. I'm going to interview for a second job, go swimming, pack more boxes, plan my new diet, ride my bike in the mornings and do some yoga. I'm also going to the beach on my second week of vacation, I can't wait to go!!!! I'm also going to be cooking and trying out new recipes. Oh and not to mention getting to see several wonderful friends I haven't seen in awhile, including Cat, Renee, Brendan, and Andy. Also I'm going to see Bob Schneider on Sat night....if you haven't gotten a ticket you should!

When it's Hardest
The thing in life that I often find the hardest is being in pain and being alone. I know migraines aren't life threatening so I have no real physical need of calling anyone (unless it gets out of control as some of you know all too well). However, the frustration and sadness I feel when I lose a day or a chunk of a day to lying in pain is hard to bear. It would be alright if I called a friend once a month for understanding or sympathy but I can't go calling someone three times a week. I hate feeling weak, I hate having this disability.
I'm sure I have posted this before but it's an extremely educational site if anyone you know suffers from migraines. http://www.migraines.org Here's a new study that sheds some light...

*huggles* i hope you had fun with Cousin...yumm, ice cream!
I hate that you feel so bad so frequently...and I have to keep hoping that someday there will be a better way of controlling the migraines. Maybe we can try cutting down on wheat at home? And it wouldn't hurt to get a consultation with Nikki when you get a chance.
Much love,

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Last night I went out to eat at good ol' Hut's Hamburgers with Brian, Green, Lindsay, and Rachel. Then Kara and her roommie Diana us the above gang met at Amy's Ice Cream for a little post Hut's dessert action. Then we all split up and went to different movies. I'm amazed it all worked out so well. Kara and I went to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which was excellent and very reminiscent of the one made in 1971. While the characters weren't very deep but the story was fun and the effects and playfulness of the movie made it definitely worth it. Plus were talking about Johnny Depp here. Geez, get with the program people. Heh heh, anyways I recommend it:) Today I took the GRE and well did pretty crappy on it. What makes me mad is that I just don't test well, never have. I knew the mathematical concepts I just don't know the art of the GRE. Here's hoping that TX State doesn't make me take it again. And then I went with Lau dog to do some bead therapy at Nomadic Notions. Quite a potent remedy for feeling glum. I made a snazzy necklace. So after tomorrow I'll have one more week at work and then two off. I am so ready for the break!! I'm going to get my packing on. Can't wait to move!!! ¶ 7/16/2005

Hey lady,
I'm glad to hear that you liked Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I was a little iffy about seeing it because I think the original's so good and, as much as I love Tim Burton, I feel like he's been losing some of his spark. But it sounds like it's worth checking out. I finally saw Howl's Moving Castle and, though it was long and rambly and had some plot holes, I liked it...it's not my favorite Miyazaki but it's still beautiful and creative. Your necklace is gorgeous! I had fun beading (as usual) and I'm glad I finally made something that I think my Aunt will really like. I like it a lot too, I've been wearing it since we left the shop. :) I'm excited for you about your move...it's coming up huh? Let me know when it gets closer and I'll try and make some time to help out. And don't worry 'bout your score. I bet TX State will accept it and, if not, you can always take it again right?

ya'll beaded without me? how sad...well, let's all have a bead party!! :p wow, i'm in a cheery mood...i think the lack of sleep has affected me positively... :p

Guys and Games
So last night I went over to Green's house to play games with all his friends. I had a really great time. The night was filled with witty banter, people trying to talk shit, games galore, and lots of cupcakes. Brian S. was there too, it's been nice to hang out with him again, been a long time. Green swing dances, so he promised to invite me sometime with his gang. If you're wondering who Brian and Green are, they're guys who were in my small group that Jeremy and I started last summer. Honestly, I've really missed that crazy energy that guys can bring to a room. It's good to make some new friends and renew other friendships. ¶ 7/14/2005

Not always the smartest
Okay so I realize that I'm like an open book, maybe a way too open book where people drop their crumbs and spill their coffee on when they read me...or something like that...well I deleted the last post, not because I didn't appreciate the comments but because I realize that some things are better left unsaid...I just need to close the book sometimes...Yes I'm disappointed and I know it's a natural reaction to be angry and upset when you find something out but that's all I really needed to say. Anways, I'm just as flawed.

Terrible Movie
I think I've only walked out of a movie once in my life and last night makes twice. I went with Melissa and Brian to see the latest Star Wars Movie and it was so bad, the acting so stiff and fake that we were incredibly bored and finally got up and left. I don't think George Lucas should be allowed to direct any more movies. The American public must be spared. ¶ 7/02/2005

Talk to Me:
hmm.... I personally didn't think star wars III was very good but i thought it was generally better than the last two. The acting was horrible and the story line was probably ok. The biggest problem with this latest set of movies is that the main character's progression into the 'dark side' doesn't make logical sense. The only thing that comes halfway close is the fear of lossing his 'wife' that pulls him over, but one would have to be an incredibly weak individual to start using that as an excuse to kill children. Anyway What i would recommend is waiting for the firefly movie called serenity. That is probably going to be my favorite scifi movie of the year and its written/directed by joss. :-)
