you can have the best of me

Oh! I forgot! I still hate the Durham and Buffalo postal services. Now I have to wait until Monday. :(

And last entry of the day, I promise.

Mon, 18 Mar 2002 01:23:12 GMT

There's a teeny moment ahead. I advise you all run for cover while you still can.

*hands out helmets to everyone*

Ok. Everyone ready?

*everyone nods*

*Jo takes a deep breath*

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEMENODOUBTAPRIL12THBACKSTAGETOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*Jo takes a seat*

A better translation for that would be this:

My brother got me No Doubt tickets for my birthday! I love him so much for that! And he might try to get me backstage! Yaaaaaaay! He was faking me out all along because he told me that they were sold out already. Ha.

'Nsync is coming here the same night. April 12th. I had the option to go to that as well. But um, I've been waiting 7 years for ND to come back here. I've been waiting since I was 10 years old. And they finally are. Oh man.

Ok. Put your helmets in the box on the right.

I have something dirty...

Sun, 17 Mar 2002 18:21:02 GMT

So far it's been a good birthday. I've really just been working on my history project that's due tomorrow, and my friend (and ex-LJ user) Christina came over.

Oh what a lovely little gift she had for me. Thank God my parents were not home.

She comes in and hands me a box. I shake it and it makes a sound. Hmmm.

It was a vibrator.

Oh man.

*blushes*

Where is this glorious piece of machinery? At the bottom of my trunk where it will never again see the light of day.

Anyway.

So I'm 17 now. Wee! But I still have the mentality of a 12 year old. I guess some things will just never change. :)

Fri, 01 Mar 2002 17:39:06 GMT

All of a sudden I feel really angry. Pissed off at nothing.

What caused this...I'm just as clueless. Just a half an hour ago I was laughing and smiling...and now I'm ready to just strangle someone.

My stomach is killing me and my head feels like a pound of bricks.

I really need a hug.

*cries*

Fri, 01 Mar 2002 01:51:26 GMT

Michele.

Don't steal my identity please.

:D

Excuse me young lady, but I think you have had one too many Frappucinos for one day...

Dear Michael Greene:

I'm perfectly content downloading my music, thankyouverymuch. If I want to download, then dammit, I will. Now I think I'll scamper off to use Morpheus.

Anyone know of some good songs to get?

- Joanny

Hehe, ok. The Grammys. I didn't get to see as much I hoped. I started off down in the basement. I also went way back and used my Mac! Read old chats! Hehehe. Mikey! I'm so sorry! I was reading one of the chats and was like "Oh man! I was such a hostile little bitch towards him!" At least that's what I thought. I felt so mean. I'm so sorry. But you know you're my most favorite person in the world. *HUG*

Where was I? Oh yeah. I was in the basement, got kicked out by my dad, went upstairs and watched in the kitchen for about a half hour or so when Hurricane Mama came in and crashed the party. So I went upstairs and watched in my parents room. She then left to go to the store, so I came back down and chatted while watching. She then suprised me and gave me the bitching of a lifetime when she got home, so I went back upstairs. Watched until the end, and that was it.

- I'm sick. Sick of you, Alicia Keys.
- Dave! Dave! I love that man. Oh so much. That song is beautiful.
- Lady Marmalade was good until the end with the disrobing.
- Britney's dress. The best thing I've ever seen her in.
- No offense to anyone, but classic U2 is much better than what they have out now. I still love them though.
- Nelly Furtado was suprisingly good. I liked how low-key the performance was.
- Mary J. was incredible. I had that song in my head most of the day today.
- 'Nsync. Um, I really wasn't paying much attention to the TV when they performed. So I have not much to say about them. I was hoping they'd win something though.

Oh man I am so hyper right now it's not even funny. I don't even feel the need to use proper grammar. Eeeeeeesh.

Alright, bye until later. *hugs*

I never know how to end these things.

Tue, 26 Feb 2002 18:13:48 GMT

I have the stomach flu, so I'm home today. Staying home is nice, but having to lie on your stomach for hours is not. Oh well, my brother caught it too, so I have good company.

Um...

Peter is the best damned person/therapist/sidekick there ever was. You should all like him even more than you do now.

I read an article this morning about left handed people (me) and it was harsh, man. "The word for left or left-handed is synonymous with awkward, untrustworthy, or evil." I'm not like that! Ok, I can be definitely awkward at times, but eesh.

Oh, but I did find out that Fidel Castro is left handed.

*[crickets chirp]*

I can't decide. I like them both.

Yes! This must be the most boring entry I've ever written. I'm sorry. :'(

Tue, 26 Feb 2002 04:26:27 GMT

And now I bring more Olde English fun with me and my brother.

Well, it was actually really short but still damn funny.

* * *

Joanny: So how be the adventure of Sir Travis and his battle with Enriquelon?
John: Ay, Sir Travis and his band of merry men, surely nsync with one another, have had hardships while in battle with the horrid creature Enriquelon.
John: They traveled into Otown on their mighty steeds, only to see a bare and empty village, scorching at the temperature of 98 degrees.
John: But alas! Sir Travis and his mighty eye saw a creature lurk in the shadows!
John: He pulled out the mighty sword Shakira, and shouted to his men "Let us go down the backstreet, boys!"
Joanny: My, they are quite brave.
John: Ay.
Joanny: What happened next?
John: That tale is for another time. Head off to your chamber and receive some rest.
Joanny: I shall...not.

	You are Rowlf! You don't draw attention to yourself much, preferring to keep your cool and stay in the background.

Joanny: The Wizard Trlensync and I had a picnic. It was a lovely time for all.

Joanny: Dalymoog is a sickening creature. He must vanish from the view of all.
John: have you been brought to current on the horrible events that occured o're in Otown?
Joanny: No I have not. Report to me the news!
John: the prince of Otown hath been found to be turned into a newt! the awful monster Enriquelon hath wroght devestation to Otown!
John: woe is the people of otown!
Joanny: Enriquelon! Oh no!
Joanny: What happened? Who saved the day?
John: 'tis true
John: alas, there was no hope.
Joanny: :'(
Joanny: I weep tears of sorrow for the people of Otown.
John: ay
Joanny: So the people of Otown are no longer.
John: i fear not, for the latest news has the royal guards of the king hath heard the calling! they make haste as we speak, led by the brave Sir Travis, and his mystical sword Shakira!
John: the make way to Otown, to do batttle with the horrid Enriquelon!
John: hope! for there triumphant triumph!
Joanny: The sword Shakira! I heard that only the strongest and bravest could retrieve that.
John: 'tis true, and the brave Sir Travis surpasses all
Joanny: He does, he does.
John: he also rides his faithful steed, Hoppus!
John: for there is little to stand in his way!
Joanny: Hoppus is a wild stallion, I thought.
John: twas, till tamed to Travis, brave sir knight!
Joanny: Huzzah for Sir Travis!
Joanny: Oh no! It says here that Sir Travis is going to save the fair Maid Moore from the Evil Witch Willa!
Joanny: Witch Willa may cast a spell on him!
John: true, they ride far, and have reached de longe enchanted forrest! a dangerous place to be sure!

John: a perilious trip to be sure!
Joanny: What challenges are in the way?
John: beware the Witch Willa, whose evil lair lies in the heart of de woods
John: but i tire, for the strain on me brain hath given me great pain.

You know boredom has come full circle when you put a playlist together based solely on numerical songs and artists.

*sigh*

I'm at a loss for words right now, I really have nothing to tell. No stories, no thoughts as of yet. I'm pretty much brain dead this morning. This past week was a confusing one, I worried a lot about certain things. But I've been reassured and I've gotten over it. So I won't have to spend this weekend as a nervous wreck, pulling my hair out over things. That's great.

My bagel is done. Bye!

Anyone know? Peter? Joshy? Lisa?

QUESTION!

A stupid one, yes, but I couldn't help but wonder if anyone else but me remembered the show "Just Wait 'Til Your Father Gets Home."

I remember when my cousins came over, we'd stay up late to watch it and fun was had by all.

I was looking for the theme song but I found nothing. :(

*jumps upstairs to bed*

My first ever LJ entry:

* * *

Date: June 16, 2001
Title: My First Time
Time: 8:12 PM

Yep, my first entry in my brand-spankin' new online journal. I "borrowed" this idea from rachaelhatesbee who seems really cool. But instead of waiting for monthly updates on SLF I'm gonna put stuff in this baby every day.

So stay tuned for tomorrow and the drama that goes on in my life. Yeah right...

* * *

And did I keep that promise? No. :)

Lacie and I were talking about A Walk To Remember and this happened:

Jo: Duuuuuude. Only Hope has to be one of the greatest songs I've heard.
Lacie: Ah! I was just going to say that!
Lacie: Mindtwin!
Jo: Yay!
Jo: I love both versions. They're just so great.
Lacie: You have to download both versions. The Mandy one and the Switchfoot one.
Lacie: Ah! Mindtwin again!
Jo: lol
Jo: I have them both.
Lacie: Oh man, that has to be LJ material, that is so freaky.

And so that was it, even though neither of us were listening to it at the time. *points to current music*

Thu, 14 Feb 2002 10:05:10 GMT

It's long, but worth reading. Trust me on this one. Happy Valentine's Day. :)

Red roses were her favorites, her name was also Rose.
And every year her husband sent them, tied with pretty bows.
The year he died, the roses were delivered to her door.
The card said, "Be my Valentine", like all the years before.
Each year he sent her roses, and the note would always say,
"I love you even more this year, than last year on this day.
My love for you will always grow, with every passing year."
She knew this was the last time that the roses would appear.
She thought, he ordered roses in advance before this day.
Her loving husband did not know, that he would pass away.
He always liked to do things early, way before the time.
Then, if he got too busy, everything would work out fine.
She trimmed the stems, and placed them in a very special vase.
Then, sat the vase beside the portrait of his smiling face.
She would sit for hours, in her husband's favorite chair.
While staring at his picture, and the roses sitting there.
A year went by, and it was hard to live without her mate.
With loneliness and solitude, that had become her fate.
Then, the very hour, as on Valentines before,
The doorbell rang, and there were roses, sitting by her door.
She brought the roses in, and then just looked at them in shock.
Then, went to get the telephone, to call the florist shop.
The owner answered, and she asked him, if he would explain,
Why would someone do this to her, causing her such pain?
"I know your husband passed away, more than a year ago,"
The owner said, "I knew you'd call, and you would want to know.
The flowers you received today, were paid for in advance.
Your husband always planned ahead, he left nothing to chance.
There is a standing order, that I have on file down here,
And he has paid, well in advance, you'll get them every year.
There also is another thing, that I think you should know,
He wrote a special little card...he did this years ago.
Then, should ever I find out that he's no longer here,
That's the card...that should be sent, to you the following year."
She thanked him and hung up the phone, her tears now flowing hard.
Her fingers shaking, as she slowly reached to get the card.
Inside the card, she saw that he had written her a note.
Then, as she stared in total silence, this is what he wrote...
"Hello my love, I know it's been a year since I've been gone,
I hope it hasn't been too hard for you to overcome.
I know it must be lonely, and the pain is very real.
For if it was the other way, I know how I would feel.
The love we shared made everything so beautiful in life.
I loved you more than words can say, you were the perfect wife.
You were my friend and lover, you fulfilled my every need.
I know it's only been a year, but please try not to grieve.
I want you to be happy, even when you shed your tears.
That is why the roses will be sent to you for years.
When you get these roses, think of all the happiness,
That we had together, and how both of us were blessed. I
have always loved you and I know I always will.
But, my love, you must go on, you have some living still.
Please...try to find happiness, while living out your days.
I know it is not easy, but I hope you find some ways.
The roses will come every year, and they will only stop,
When your door's not answered, when the florist stops to knock.
He will come five times that day, in case you have gone out.
But after his last visit, he will know without a doubt,
To take the roses to the place, where I've instructed him,
And place the roses where we are, together once again.

Sometimes in life, you find a special friend;
Someone who changes your life just by being part of it.
Someone who makes you laugh until you can't stop;
Someone who makes you believe that there really is good in the world.
Someone who convinces you that there really is an unlocked door just waiting for you to open it.

This is Forever Friendship.

I was checking my mail earlier, and I wound up getting one of those Crush On You deals that Peter happened to send out. I've been giggling like a twelve year old since.

TRL. Please stop. Sometimes being a cultural phenomenon doesn't exactly work well with the people who've been there since the beginning. You're the show with an ego. Even though I haven't watched one episode in it's entirety since November, I'm done with you.

Wade made a good point. I may be dateless on Thursday, but really, wallowing in misery does not sound fun. Love comes when it comes, and I won't rush it. Patience is a virtue. And when it does come, it will be wonderful.

Um, I'll still be having my Ben & Jerry's though. But just because I love my Ben & Jerry's. World's Best Chocolate, baby. It's already in the freezer.

Sun, 10 Feb 2002 10:25:22 GMT

Dear LJ Fairy,

I love you. You are the greatest living thing EVER. I think I should go as far as to throwing a parade in your honor.

*HUG*

Love,
Jo

You know when you have those days when you wake up and just know that the day is going to be crappy as all hell? I guess I'm just having one of those days.

I've learned that there is nothing like waking up in your own room, because last night I had to sleep on the couch. Yesterday they dragged my old mattress to the curb and have yet to bring my new one upstairs, so it was downstairs for me. I'm just so accustomed to waking up and staring out the window for ten minutes.

The first thing I saw this morning was my brother passed out on the floor. Another night of debauchery, eh Johnny? :)

Before school started, I was hanging out with my friend Peter and he brought me a Valentine cupcake. Awwww. There was a plastic ring in it, so he licked off the frosting and tried to put it on my finger, but the ring turned out to be too small and it broke. :( Oh well, maybe I'll stop by the bakery again later.

I left school early today just because I really didn't feel like staying any longer. I left my notebook in the car, my white shirt turned a light blue in the washing machine and I got crap for that, and...I just couldn't take it any more. So I called my mom and just left. This is great though. Except for the fact that my brother is home also, but that's okay. I can deal. :)

But the Get Up Kids make me happy. *points to current music* You should get this song if you don't have it. It's damn great, that's for sure. :)

Thu, 07 Feb 2002 09:36:03 GMT

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKEY!

*mwah*

If only I had those 120 seconds extended a little longer so I could have told you at midnight, but noooo. :)

Tue, 05 Feb 2002 21:53:15 GMT

I love being random:

- AIM is being whorish and kicks me off every time I sign on. Boo.

- Someone took me off their friends list today. :'( Am I that bad to you people? Or even that boring? Heh.

- Dear brother - stop looking over my shoulder and reading every word I type as I write journal entries. Not cool. :)

- Happy birthday Amanda!

- My friend Janelle thought I'd look nice if I had even darker hair, so last night she colored it for me (temporarily) since I would probably mess it up if I did it myself. The first reaction when I got to school today:

"Wow Jo, you look like the child of Satan."

=-o

Mon, 04 Feb 2002 13:24:59 GMT

Yay! No school today! There were still some power outages around town, and my school is one of the places still powerless, so I'm home again today. This is good for a number of reasons:

1 - I didn't fall asleep until 3.
2 - My black eye is still noticeable, so I have another day for the swelling to go down. It's not as bad as it was Friday, but it's still a little purple.

And even though Peter decided to be evil and burned down the bandwagon, I'm still listing my favorite icons. The thing is though, there are more than 10 and in no particular order.

Mon, 04 Feb 2002 04:21:50 GMT

I have nothing really to say, except this song?

*points to current music*

Damn saddest song I've heard in the longest time.

That's all. Night everyone.

Sun, 03 Feb 2002 04:51:04 GMT

Yay! Our power is back! More about that later.

Bart Simpson and Michael Jackson said it best:

Lisa it's your birthday, happy birthday Lisa
Lisa it's your birthday, happy birthday Lisa...

That's all I remember, but happy birthday Lisa!
