I made up a word today, because why not?
So I am going to make a list of words that I have made up and can remember. They're mostly hybrids.
Brolgate - bro+vulgate = brolgate. Pretty much bro talk and slang.
Nawk - short for New York. We need to get this one going, guys.
Vodker - funny for vodka. I guess that's not much though. I do that with tons of words like 'tequiler' and 'vaniller'.
Neepole - pronounced like nipple, it is the dot on the i.
Oh darn, I thought I had more. Well, I guess that's it for now.
Another thing: This is not a word, but I fucking invented wire shoe laces, so fuck the haters imitators.

The Golden Bull
The Golden Bull is a restaurant right next to my apartment. I might go there tonight to celebrate fat Tuesday! Oh, and international women's day.
Remember when I first moved away and I was all sad and melancholy? Well, those feelings are back, and me no like. I feel like I will never achieve anything, and that it's all my fault. I really hate school too. I like Mike the roommate, but he is just not... I don't know. Back in IC I used to talk to some pretty awesome and creative people, but here, um.. Not yet. That's the thing, Mike is too normal!
And he can be a dick, but that's okay. BTW, he hates all my friends because he thinks they are all devil-worshiping transsexuals. Prove him wrong, Jake.
Another thing, and I know I say this all the time, I can't come up with anything! It's like my imagination jumped off a bridge and died. See, I couldn't come up with anything! And I just get so bored! I can't think of a good way to explain it. I feel like there is nothing to do, noting to be done, and I hate it.
Halp.
katherine is visiting soon, and I am seriously super excited. Hopefully she will bring some inspiration with her.

Another fight
Yeah that's right, I got into a fight. With my roommate. It wasn't a fight though. It was more like a heated argument about me. I like him, but he thinks like such a normal! So I told him that I was withdrawing from a class, and he friggin' snapped! He was like, "that's so stupid and blah blah blah, and you're paying all this money and blah blah blah!" I understand where he is coming from though, but there is a difference between withdrawing from a class and failing a class because you never attended it. Now THAT is a waste of money. He didn't do that though, and now here he is telling me how dropping out of school is the dumbest thing someone could ever do, but honestly (and I don't want to sound cory here,) he just doesn't understand me. I think that in order to succeed in an industry like that, one has to look at it from a different perspective. I don't know what that perspective is, but it certainly isn't his. Now he is just one more person that I have to prove wrong, and you know what world, I don't care what you think.

Second Cup of Coffee
Yeah, I'm on my second cup. I didn't realize that I had stopped drinking as much coffee after I became addicted to tea. Now I am on my second cup of the day. I'm jittery.
Here is where I bitch about not having any ideas:
I don't have any ideas. I can't come up with anything. I try writing but nothing interesting happens. I try drawing but nothing new comes out. I am just... ugh.
Okay, back to other things.
Jake, you can stay with me any time. A week is fine. I should have a couch by then, so you won't have to sleep on the floor! If you want to stay for a month though, I want $150. That's five dollars a night with internet and utilities. You can't beat that!
Now to other news that aren't really news: Life is good.
Today marks my fourth month anniversary here in Chicago. Yay! Let's see, in four months, I...
Moved to a new city where I didn't know anyone or anything.
I went to school.
I got a job.
I found my own apartment.
I moved out of the student housing facility.
I met lots of new people.
And more stuff that I cannot think of right now.
I am doing pretty good too. Despite me not being able to come up with any ideas and not having any furniture, I am still happy!
So yeah. Now let me talk about what a terrible person I am:
I may or may not care more for people who have aspirations in the film industry. It's like every time I meet someone, I always pay more attention to whoever likes movies the most. Not that much really, but it's still dickish of me.
So a few friends and I are going to start making our own little independent stuff. Yay! This is all really exciting!
I want to get a second job, because the current one is not paying the rent. It did this month, but maybe next won't be so good.
Okay, have a good day y'all!
Ps: I'm really excited for Katherine and Sarah's visit. WOHOOO!

It's late...
So I just watched Enter the Void, The Babysitters, and The Hangover, all in a row. That's the order of .. how good they were I guess. I felt like Enter the Void was like Requiem for a Dream meets Trainspotting. I liked it.
The Babysitters is like.. I don't know. I liked the ending.
The Hangover... Meh. No bad cinematography, but I guess it's not my kind of humor.
I also saw a documentary the other day, Dear Zachary.
Ohmygod. The story is soo good. So sad, but so good. It would make for a great movie, except it's already a documentary. Technically it is not that great, but seriously, the story is awesome. Check it out.
So yeah.
Netflix is the best film school in the world.

President's Day
So my damn school is not giving us tomorrow off. Damn. They 'observe' president's day on Friday, when no one has classes. I do though, so yay for me. I got so much free stuff today. I got a teapot! I KNOW! It's like everything on my list is coming to me! The teapot has a broken ear thing, but a little super glue should fix that. I also got a pound of some good tea because the manager made a small mistake while filling the giant tins, so there went 93 ounces of the second most expensive in the store. So I got at least 300 dollies worth of tea. O'yea! We distributed it amongst all employees that was at least $1000 worth of tea.
Enough with the tea now.
I hate school.
How's everybody doing? I'm doing fine, thanks.
Been writing a little bit. I like writing. And reading. You know that one girl? The one with the dragon tattoo? Yeah. Her book is pretty good. I have been trying to watch more movies too. I really need to get back on that.
I rearranged my room. Now I sleep with my head facing North. Hopefully I will start dreaming more, because the orientation of your body while you sleep has a lot to do with that, I'm sure.
Okay, I'm gonna go sleep now. Bye.

I Am Sitting on a Chair!
I don't know if I capitalized correctly in the title. Whatever. If I make a grammatical mistake I'll just blame it on my foreignness, just like my grandma used to blame her public farts on her age and her weak stomach.
I got a wingback chair!! I am so happy, and I am sitting on it right now. I would post a picture of it on here, but I am too lazy to go through the troubles. . .. Oh wait.
Hey! Aren't you glad Steve Jobs invented Photo Booth? So yeah, that's the chair. That shiny green thing next to it is "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," which is really good btw. And that thing that appears to be below it is a cup of tea.
Anyway, that's my chair. Now I have no excuse to leave the apartment. Just gonna come home, sit, read, write, etc.
I saw Shutter Island today. It was good. Too much back light though. I don't know.. Still trying to think if I liked it or not. I didn't really pay attention to the story; I was focusing more on the technical side.
Jake, I agree with your views on Tim Burton. Read the comment I posted.. if you read this.
So I got my chair. Hopefully I'll start growing gray hair next.
I am kinda pissed that Sam P. dropped out of school before me. Damn it! I was supposed to go first. Oh well. Does he still think that a producer doesn't do anything? You see, Sam and I have this friendly rivalry relationship thing. He told me that I had no talent and that he was better than me, to which I said "that's your opinion," but it still made me think, 'what if he's right?' I really like Sam though. I think he's a genius. He thinks I'm an idiot, but I value our friendship. At least I think we're friends.
I've been working on a story. And let me rant here:
There is this kid, I don't want to say his real name, so let's call him Douche. Ouche for short. So Ouche thinks he is better than everyone else, and he is a total nerd who kisses the teacher's ass all over, and who works in the cage (which is what they call the place where the school keeps all the cameras and their fancy, expensive equipment.) Anyway, Ouche makes like ten dollars an hour, and he doesn't pay rent (yet) so compared to me, he is a fucking billionaire. Ouche is in my intro to film class, and our third assignment was to make a video blah blah blah. . . Ouche went out and rented a car. HE RENTED A FUCKING CAR for his project, and apparently he ripped some of his scenes off of Pineapple Express, which I have not seen, but someone told me. The point is, nobody likes Ouche, because he tries too hard, and his movie wasn't even that good. I don't hate Ouche, but I was checking equipment in today, and he was like, "what's your name again?" And my heart just dropped with my balls. How dare him not know my name! I am like, friggin' me! And he sits next to me in class! And I don't mean to brag, but I am one of the best ones in that intro class. So I may not hate Ouche, but HOW DARE HIM!
Just needed to get that out.
Okay.
Sleep well, kids.

Dreams
No, not like life dreams, SLEEP DREAMS!
Last night I dreamt with pregnancy again. There's more...
On Tuesday night I dreamt that Kate Feldmann was pregnant with Daniel English's baby. Daniel was in jail for some reason though. That's pregnancy dream number one.
Last night I dreamt that I was standing next to a pregnant lady. Somehow I knew that her baby was a demon child, so I had to stab her belly with a screw driver. I felt like a dick! (haha, can't have a baby without a dick- can't stab a baby without a dick... It would be funny if... if it were.)
Anyway, I haven't been up to much.
Boss said that if I meet all my goals for a week, I get a free teapot!
It's missing some cups or some shayt, but I don't care!
So now I have to work extra hard.
Not much going on. My life is still super lame and uneventful. . .
Okay I'm gonna go now. The Sears tower says hi.

Jump!
Jump! And bounce. I have that song stuck in my nogging. They use it in The Devil Wears Prada, and I don't care what anyone says, I really like that movie. It has a lot of important lessons, and I think it is more about success and career sacrifices than about fashion. And Meryl Streep, come on!
Did I mention that I am doing a 29 day challenge with a bunch of friends? Yeah! We e each give something up for 29 days, and we have a victory party in the end. If you fail to go a day without it though, you are banned from the party. I gave up Facebook, so no Facebook for me. Two people gave up chocolate. I would not be able to do that. Someone gave up wine, someone wings (wtf?!) and someone ice cream... and more things that I can't remember. Yeah.
I really really want a wingback chair, so friggin' bad. Fuck. I also want to get out of school, but life has no meaning without something to sit on, am I right?
Okay, not much to say. Katherine visited in my dream. She cried a lot. STOP CRYING!
Sarah is visiting at some point too. Yay! gotta start coming up with things to do. We could go chair shopping! Okay. I just want to retire already. agjdklanoaeid.
I'm gonna go now. I need to tap into my creative unconscious.

Your Desires Are Perfectly Normal!
Here is a list of things that I really really want and desire with all my heart at the moment. You know what they say: If you blog about it, it comes true.
1: A wingback chair.
I really need something to sit on while I read my books and listen to James Figurine. One with a cool design, like the one in the picture! I really really want one.
2: Motivation.
This one seems to come up every single time I write one of these lists. Yeah. I really need some.
3: A teapot.
I want a teapot. A fancy. Ass. Teapot. Something that looks like your grandma pulled it out of her grandma's ass.
4: Gray hair.
I have never desired that more in my life. Maybe if I think about it a lot it will start growing out!
5: Not having school.
I really hate it. Words cannot describe my hatred for school, but it's not my school. It's just the idea of school. Hard to explain.
6: More movies.
This is just common sense to me, so I almost forgot about it.
7: More friends.
I've made plenty of new friends since I moved, but plenty isn't enough. I need more.
8: The cure for writer's block.
How am I supposed to come up with ideas when.. I can't come up with ideas?! It really frustrates me.
9: Unlimited soup.
I love soup. I wish I could cook soup every day. I don't like foods that are hard to chew because I'm like an old man inside, and soup is the ultimate food that you don't really have to chew! I don't even have to wear my dentures to eat it!
10: Wine and caviar.
I want to piechart my diet. That is the next blog.
Thanks for reading. Tell me, what are the ten things that you want the most? Post a comment, or write a blog! It would make me super happy!
Jake, stop harassing Katherine. Katherine, stop crying. Sarah, . . . hi.

I'm Weak
My biggest weakness is not being able to do shit by myself.
I would have gone to that movie premiere out in the blizzard, but not by myself.
Crap.
I would have gone to that movie premiere out in the blizzard, but not by myself.
Crap.
Bagels and Tea
So I have been eating a lot lately. Yea. No "unhealthy" food though.
I went to an absinthe party at James' (the girl) house. It was fun. Other people were there. This girl I know, Ashley, and her roommate Cody. They got high in the hookah room (James has a hookah room) and then we had the fancy absinthe ritual. First they pour a shot in the glass and dunk two sugar cubes in it. Then they take the absinthe spoon and place the sugar cubes on it. Then they light the sugar cubes on fire, and it looks really cool. They let the sugar burn for a couple seconds, and finally they pour water over it. It was interesting. I had one with tea instead of water. In the end I had five shots, and a shot of infused vodka. The funny thing is that I didn't really feel anything, like, I wasn't drunk. I was expecting the absinthe to gimme ideas, but nothing happened, and so I thought: What if I have a strong resistance to alcohol? Meh. I forgot to mention that the absinthe was 75 proof too. I ended up going home at about 3 am, and I wasn't feeling anything, except for my tiredness. My friend Mitch was with me. There were more nice people at the party. It was all fun.
I got two free tickets to the premiere of "cherry" at the Mid West Film Festival! That's tonight, and I hope that nothing gets cancelled because of the 'snow storm'
There is nothing else to say, except that I look forward to getting visits from people.
I am trying to get more involved in the "art scene" whatever that is.
Also, I got into an argument with Michael (my roommate) about teachers and stuff. I was telling him that I didn't like the way our film teacher taught Final Cut, and he freaked out on me. He said that "wow, I mean, you certainly know more than a professor who works in the industry." And in my head I was like, "bitch please, if our professors had succeeded in the so called 'industry' they wouldn't be professors right now." But I didn't say that out loud. I don't remember what I said. My point was that it didn't matter how I learned to use Final Cut differently, because in the end I am still getting the job done.
There is nothing much going on. Trying to meet people and go places.
Yeah. Make plans to visit Chicago Today!

So Sayeth the Law of Shadow
Yeah, I used lyrics as a title. I'm bored.
Not much going on today. I have to do laundry at some point. I go to this really sketchy laundromat called Spin Cycle. It's on Cermak, and in the neighborhood of my people. It's open twenty four hours too, and washes are 50% off between midnight and six. So cool. The sad part is that the bus that takes me there stops running at eleven, so no 50% off for me. I might just wait until I am absolutely out of clothes to go though. Lazy.
I need to start doing more stuff. I'm learning PhotoShop! (for like the fifth time.) Yesterday I put Audrey Tautou in a Rubik's cube.

I really need to get that damn program. And a life.
I am going to go check my p.o. box later. Maybe I got a surprise in or something.. hmm...
I'm trying to remember movie names now. Not the titles. I have no problem remembering those. I need to know directors (which I do, but I'm not great,) producers, writers, actors, blah blah blah. I am also going to try and overthrow the film club director here, mostly because I need them to start meeting on Fridays so that I can go to the meetings, and I feel like I would be a better director. I'll let you know how that goes, if I ever make it to a meeting. I guess they meet once a month, or once a week. I have no idea, but they had a meeting yesterday, and I had a class, so I went into the classroom where they meet and left them a loverly message on the board. It pretty much begged for the next meeting to be on a Friday.
Yeah, so... I'm gonna go drink tea now. Come visit me, Jake, and Katherine, anyone else. FREE ROOM HERE, GWASH! Just don't drive. Take the friggin' MegaBus or something, damn it.
okay, love y'all, bye.

Another Post, Another Nothing
I haven't been up to much. I'm trying to get a second job just for fun. We'll see how that goes. I had a dream last night and Jake was in it. Nothing special though. We were just walking around a house and a few people from work showed up. Also, I'm really cool because I heard about/saw Exit Through the Gift Shop before Jake. Ha! He is still better at remembering names though.
I saw Lord of the Rings the other day, too. It wasn't my first time, but I'm gonna say it was, because I didn't remember anything from when I saw it in.. I want to say 7th grade. I'm talking about the fellowship of the ring btw. I have The Two Towers sitting next to my computer. I'll watch it eventually.
I still hate school, and the idea of school. Ugh. Art school is an oxymoron. I need to find more places to go and socialize. I've been browsing CraigsList a lot lately and all. Yeah. Not much to say oOH!! I live on Cermak Rd, and apparently there is a Panchero's on Cermak! It's a 13 mile straight line, East! I could walk there (it would take three hours,) or ride my nonexistent bike. It's the only Panchero's in the Chicago area, and it's on my street. This is a blessing.
I'm gonna let you go now. Bye!

My feelings in words
Yeah, that's the best title I could come up with. Let's divide this post into two. No, three.
One, this is why I'm happy:
I finally have internet at home. Yay! It's been a month, but I made it. This means I no longer have to go to stupid coffee shops that aren't Starbucks (you know how hard it is to find one of those?!) and I don't have to spend money on drinks and yummy pastries. This has two good sides because, I won't gain weight (I cannot resist baked goodies or chocolate, let alone baked chocolate goodies,) and I will save money. I am also happy because I am not surrounded by drunk college students all the time. Yeah. Oh, and I have a mattress now, and I like it. Speaking of the mattress though,
This is why I'm unhappy:
That Macy's store kinda ripped me off. So I payed $494.73 for that comfy piece of sponge (it is pretty comfy and I love it. And actually my mommy gave me $200) But apparently the transaction didn't go through until yestrday, so... Guess who is shit broke now?! Me! Yeah. Well, I have $6.00 in the bank. Rent is due in ten days, but luckily I set that money aside a while ago, so no worries there. I also payed my bills already, so hooray for that. And I still have that $1,300 check from FAFSA, but that's for school expenses. So I'm broke, but not really, but yeah really. I'm mostly pissed at Wells Fargo and Macy's though, for lying about payments going through and shit. So I'm going to switch banks and all, something I've been meaning to do for a long time.
yeah, that was my mini rant. Nothing big. I'm reading "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo." Good book, good book. I've been trying to find places to go socialize. People suggested that I start smoking, and my first though was, "You know Jake?!" Hahaha. So I found this place that has felafel. I might go there some day. Yeah, so now that I have internet I can go back to wasting my life even more. I haven't met any interesting people lately. Okay, I'm gonna go now. Oh! I will also start blogging a lot more, obviously. Yeah. See y'all later.

Not Much
So my internet was supposed to be up and running yesterday, but knowing my tech luck, of course it isn't.
I'm at Caribou Coffee right now, and I can't help but think of Joel Carver. (he always drank it during first period psych, and I sat right behind him.)
I just realized that I'm blogging in a coffee shop.. I fail.
So nothing has happened. Still sleeping on the floor. My mattress is supposed to be delivered on Wednesday the 19th. I moved out on the 18th. That's a month on the floor! This one is going on the memoir. I went to a fancy clothing store today because Michael's parents came to visit. His coat pocket ripped, and I don't know why they made everything so complicated. If that would have happened to me I would have tried to fix it myself, or befriend a fashion student and have them do it. The obvious to them was to go to a store and find a tailor that would fix it, and then I saw the fur coats. They were on sale! As low as $10,000! I am not kidding. I tried taking a picture of a price tag, but it didn't turn out. There was this lady in a fancy suit too, just walking around them. She had handcuffs on her. THE FUR COATS HAD THEIR OWN SECURITY GUARD! The more expensive ones were chained to the racks. For some reason I find the whole situation very amusing. One of them was on sale, originally $25,000 marked down to $12,000! Oh my lawd.
Not much is new. New classes are nice. I went to Soup Box today for the second time again today. It was delicious.
Okay, I'm gonna go now. I should have working internet some day soon.
Text me MORE!
And Jake, did Megan talk to you during your psych class? Dare I say, xD!!! (Caribou)

You Are Welcome, guys.
So I haven't blogged in a while.
My number one excuse is the fact that I don't, I repeat, I DO NOT, have internet at home. With that said, I have to leave the house, take a train, and buy a food item in order to be able to connect. SO LEAVE ME ALONE!
Oh and Jake: I have made friends, thanks.
There are a few things I need to cover here.
One: I went to Iowa City for Christmas. Did I talk about that already? If not, here it is again. I got a bathroom rug as a gift, and other stuff. Some clothes, movies, books, an LED flashlight pen.. (my dad's a weirdo,) and other nice things. I also gained like five pounds, but we all do. The apartment is nice, thank you. I am still sleeping on the floor, but not for long. I am getting a mattress hopefully soon. Going to Macy's here in a second (there's a sale going on!)
Now on to New Year's. I had nothing to do that night. I had to work until 9:30, and none of my coworkers would buy me champagne. I asked everyone, even my manager! He said that if I made more money than him that day, he would buy me a bottle. Now, I didn't make more than him, but I came pretty close. After work I went home, and did nothing. Maybe I ate some food, but I don't remember. Then I just texted tons of people, asking if any of them were in the same boring situation as me. After talking to half of my contacts of RECENTLY MADE FRIENDS IN CHICAGO, (Jake,) I finally agreed to meet my friend James, who is a girl, and her boyfriend somewhere up north by the Western Blue Line stop. I dragged Michael (my roommate) along with me, and he was freaking out because we were going to see a girl named James. Seriously, his closed-mindness gets on my nerves sometimes, but not really. Anyway we were walking around and then we heard the fireworks firing and working I guess. It was the new year, and I was walking around trying to find this restaurant, Hot Chocolate (which is actually supposed to be pretty fancy.) And there was James and Colin (that's her boyfriend. He's nice.) So then Colin drove us to his and James' apartment. It was the coolest apartment ever! It was long, and the walls were weird colors. Lots of posters and books, and candles, and teapots, and hookahs, and more books, and more teapots, and artwork, and pet rats, and oh god so many books and teapots. (I seriously tried to count the teapots, but I lost count after 12.) We stayed there until 3 am, and we drank some thing, I don't know what it was. So me and Michael had to go back home, and there were so many obnoxious drunk people on the train. This one girl was even drinking out of a bottle of wine, the cork knocked in the bottle. It was a fun night. James is pretty cool, and Colin is really nice. He can talk, too. Like, he's a good speaker.
So those have been the highlights, really. School starts on Monday. I'm not buying any books, screw that. I'll borrow, or read online. I already spent like 20 dollars on books the other day anyway (Borders on Michigan avenue was closing. Got 30 books for .25 a piece. Good ones, too.)
Katherine and I are going to be roommates, and even if it sounds stupid and inconvenient, it should be fun. We will combine our movies to crush Jake's collection, which brings me to part two of this post. I am going to list all the movies I have.

Anyway, I hope everyone enjoys - Oh!
I forgot to talk about the cake that I baked for my manager.. My other manager. So I baked her a cake, and took it over to her house. She has two cats, and one of them is a cyclops! Then I hung out there for a bit, and then we started talking about movies, and then we ended up talking about screenplays, and it turns out that she had written one in college! She let me borrow the one and only copy. I read it, and it's not bad. I'mma help her revise it.
Okay, that's it for now. Bye y'all.
PS: I'm getting internet on the 14th. And AT&T better not be lying.
