sufjan stevens - chicago

I fell in love again
all things go, all things go
drove to Chicago
all things know, all things know
we sold our clothes to the state
I don't mind, I don't mind
I made a lot of mistakes
in my mind, in my mind

you came to take us
all things go, all things go
to recreate us
all things grow, all things grow
we had our mindset
all things know, all things know
you had to find it
all things go, all things go

I drove to New York
in a van, with my friend
we slept in parking lots
I don't mind, I don't mind
I was in love with the place
in my mind, in my mind
I made a lot of mistakes
in my mind, in my mind

you came to take us
all things go, all things go
to recreate us
all things grow, all things grow
we had our mindset
all things know, all things know
you had to find it
all things go, all things go

if I was crying
in the van, with my friend
it was for freedom
from myself and from the land
I made a lot of mistakes
I made a lot of mistakes
I made a lot of mistakes
I made a lot of mistakes

you came to take us
all things go, all things go
to recreate us
all things grow, all things grow
we had our mindset
all things know, all things know
you had to find it
all things go, all things go

you came to take us
all things go, all things go
to recreate us
all things grow, all things grow
we had our mindset
(I made a lot of mistakes)
all things know, all things know
(I made a lot of mistakes)
you had to find it
(I made a lot of mistakes)
all things go, all things go
(I made a lot of mistakes)

sometimes i think about silly philosophical nonsense.
i don't believe in much, but i support the notion of fate. random meetings and coincidental occurences have shaped my life far more than structure and order ever will.
i mull over bad decisions i've made far too often, and piece together all the little things, however insignificant, to help explain how i got here. today. right now.
i maintain it's the smallest, just-a-speck-on-the-earth things that count.
i feel old at 18, which isn't comforting at all.

april 5-6 will now go down as the best night/morning of my life.
queen's journal end of year party = love.
get a bunch of newspaper-loving nerds together, add some red wine and a few shots of whiskey, and you've got the recipe for a damn good time.
i'm home for the summer in 21 days. i don't quite know how i feel about that yet.

christmas is one of the few holidays i actually still like.
it must be all of that goodwill and shit.
plus, i'm a little consumer whore.
hint.
the sufjan stevens "come on, feel the illinois!" cd.
hint.

i'm really looking forward to 2007.
new school, new friends, new life, and a new year to match.
i miss you, toronto peeps.
call me.

the soundtrack of my life, as determined by itunes:

opening song: the decemberists - apology song
first day at school: sean paul - we be burning
waking up: rolling stones - satisfaction
falling in love: blossom dearie - i want to be bad
breaking up: MSTRKRFT – easy love
prom: chumbawumba - i get knocked down
dance sequence: the distillers - beat your heart out
life: bruce springsteen - growing up
breakdown: the postal service - we will become silhouettes
driving: chamillionaire - ridin' dirty (ahaha)
flashback: spice girls = spice up your life
getting back together: tegan and sara - don't confess
wedding: metric - succexy
sex scene: death cab for cutie - soul meets body
birth of a child: broken social scene - handjobs for the holidays
final battle: louis xiv - finding out true love is blind
death scene: the postal service - in due time?
funeral song: sufjan stevens - come on! feel the illonoise! (best funeral song EVER)
final credits: lindsay lohan - rumours

best soundtrack EVER.
in other news, i may not be keen on giving up my new found freedom for the holidays, but for some reason i find myself longing for scarborough, and toronto in general. i want to take the subway, do something that doesn't involve drinking games (well, we'll see), go to a real mall, and dwell in my rapist-filled, ghetto-ass, johnny's hamburgers-consuming neighbourhood.
also, i never want to eat caf food again.
ugh.

i had the most amazing weekend.
the journal sent me to london to cover elizabeth may (of the green party)'s race for a member of parliament position.
nerdy, yes, but it was incredibly fun and interesting.
i've never met so many vegetarians congregated in one place.
aside from the mass amount of essays ruining my life, things have really fallen into place here at queen's.
besides that, i am home as of december 14th/15th and looking forward to mad sexy get togethers.
whey.

[Current Music |dfa (mstrkrft remix) - sexy results]

i've realised a few things as of late.
i can achieve my dream of becoming a journalist.
i can break off a two year relationship and be okay.
i can go to ottawa, party, and flirt with strangers.
i can take control of my life and have positive things come out of it.

what's important is that i feel really good about myself right now.
k peace.

dear girls who went out for halloween in an occupational costume that required the prefix "slutty",
you're so original.
look out, halloween 2007, here i come as the slutty taxidermist...
the best costume i saw this halloween was emily and our floormate aaron dressed as hal and joanne from body break.
pure genius.

i have mad articles coming out in the next two issues of the queen's journal and have never been more excited.
too bad frantically scribbing asstastic essays seems to be consuming most of my time.
descartes = balls.

i get to vote in the kingston municipal election.
this excites me.
i heart kingston and how it is mostly made up of hicks/crazies/disaffected youth that hang out at tim hortons.

today at the queen's feminist review meeting (i'm on the editorial board, bitches), two girls had a bloody hour-long debate about whether we should print a certain button for our coffeehouse fundraiser. here's what said button would proclaim:

you can't beat a woman.

what?
it's true.
even i find it funny.

[Current Music |the postal service - we will become silhouettes]

so, like the eager little frosh that i am, i sent an e-mail to the features editor of the queen's journal with an idea for a feature story about eating disorders and physical health. i thought for sure they'd shrug me off, but katie the editor e-mailed me back saying she was planning to write a multiple-part feature on that subject, and asked me if i wanted to help collect info/interview/possibly help write the article.
write!
WRITE!
I'M GOING TO HELP WRITE A FEATURE FOR THE QUEEN'S FUCKING JOURNAL!
bahhh i am so excited, i could pee.
we aren't getting started until january, but still,
queen's journal. writing. feature.
eeeeeee!

[Current Music |the arcade fire - cars and telephones]

i'm coming back to toronto on thursday evening next week for thanksgiving, so if any of you toronto peoples want to get
together/go out/party, i'm game (this means you, martina, patrick, and dennis).

queen's/kingston is amazing,

but i'm kind of excited to be home for a weekend.

i also love this song.


But fuck it, I love you even if I'm gonna feel like shit by the time I get to you

Now the sky is turning blue the stars they disappear one by one as the daylights nears

And yes you're in my head, but that doesn't make you here

And I've lost all my friends, but you're the one I miss the most

now I'm almost there, yeah I'm almost to the coast

And if I had any notion of how I'm gonna drive my car across the Atlantic Ocean,

I'd be fucking set.

fuckabitch called livejournal for macs.
until I can figure out how to do cuts and post a mass amount of pictures, I must go back to the stone age and use html.

in the meantime, here is the wally 11 floor mascot:



"cuttin' gertrude loose with extreme prejudice and reppin' greenz since '93!"

(the guys were trying to think of something that rhymes with "waldron," but all they could come up with was "cauldron" and "golf prawn")

I must go and read 8594 pages about the exciting world of Submycenaean pottery now.

I miss y'all.

the beyonce song that played at the artsci semi-formal tonight is further proof that I don't have enough body fat to properly shake my ass.
I fainted in an assembly today due to exhaustion.
that wasn't embarassing or anything...
although, they did give me gatorade, so I guess today wasn't all bad.

I hate packing.
the process of stuffing my life into suitcases and boxes is depressing.
well, I guess this is goodbye for now.
I will miss y'all, but I'll be back at thanksgiving.
as of tomorrow, my cell will belong to my brother, so unless you want to talk to him, don't call it.
my new kingston number is on facebook.
keep in touch.
PEACE, toronto.

I don't know about you, but I'd read it.
I'm leaving for kingston a week from today.
