caper

a few weeks ago my mom called me... mom: do you have my "john williams soundtracks" cd? me: no...oh wait, james has it. mom: i want my cd back. call him. me: i've actually been trying not to call him lately. i even deleted his number from my cell phone. mom: i want my cd back. call him. me: fine. so i dug out james' number from where i hid it. yes, i realize that since i know where it is, it isn't really a "hiding" place. but i also know myself, and that the temptation to call him will never consume me enough to get off the couch, and rifle through a box full of receipts and ward love notes kept on the top shelf of my closet. (dangit! now you know my hiding place!) with me, laziness always reigns supreme. um...back to the story, i found the phone number and then put into operation a great scheme (a crazy caper, even) involving my downstairs neighbor, a not so real music theory class, and a pressing assignment. my intention of course being to get my mothe

slacker

i looked this up, because i was told that if i turned to the definition i would find my picture. all i found were words... slacker: 1. a person who evades duty or work; shirker (um... i don't know what everyone's talking about. i've never shirked anything. i mean, what kind of person would i be if i just went around shirking! i can't believe that people think i'm a shirker!!... oh... i just looked up the definition of "shirker"... shoot. moving on.) 2. a person who evades military service; dodger. (hmmm... well,although i've never been in the military, i wouldn't necessarily say that i've been evading it.) 3. an especially educated person who is scornful of materialism, purposeless, apathetic, and usually works in a dead-end job. (i have mixed feelings about this. i am in college so would that mean i'm especially educated?i don't feel especially educated. and quite frankly i'm a fan of materialism. i listen to madonna's "ma

lydia

a phone conversation i had with my friend lydia in the 8th grade... lydia: you're really tall. 14 year old me: ya i know. i hate it. lydia: all models are tall. me: that's true. lydia: if we put my head on your body, we could totally be a model. me: ya...wait...hey! a lunch time conversation freshman year... lydia: i'm always worried that guys are just interested in me because of the way i look. the rest of us: ok lydia: i mean, you girls are really lucky because when a guy likes you, you know it's because of your personality. last night i drove to salt lake and saw "chicago" (fabulous movie, just fabulous) with lydia and kate. then we decided to go eat at the local college pizza hangout called "the pie" (technically it's the greek symbol "pi", thus reminding us of pizza, fraternities, and the numerical value 3.1415...) in remembrance of our high school days when we would go and hope some college boys would notice us (sometimes they wou

rodney the camera rental guy

yesterday i rented a camera from rodney the camera rental guy. rodney works within the depths of the fletcher building. rodney takes his job very seriously. rodney asked me who i thought he'd come after if i damaged the camera i was renting. i thought hard and then said, "well...i don't have any money, so...my parents?" rodney was not amused. there is a lackey who works for rodney in the camera rental hole. he answers phone and eats cereal. the cereal eating lackey looks familiar to me. maybe i went to high school with him or something. in any case, this sense of familiarity puts me at ease with him. he is not ok with that. when i got lost on my way out of the camera rental hole, he snickered to himself (i've never heard anyone snicker in real life. i've only read about it in books). i turned around and said, "am i lost?" he said, "yes" to which i retorted, "ya, where were you on that, punk?" he was not ok with that either. today

the grind

is it normal to detest a class? don't bother answering that because i know full well it is, that the concept of class was quite possibly derived on the sole basis that young adults would abhor it. more to the point, is it normal to detest a photography class? it seems to me that photography is more a hobby than a subject (like kickboxing or coin collecting) and thus i should be excited to take it. but i'm not, i hate it...HATE IT! hmph... today, while walking on campus, i passed a guy who looked familiar. i couldn't place him at first, and then i realized that it was one of the models from my figure drawing class, and i started giggling. i thought to myself, "hey. i've seen you necked" (in my mind i'm not at all a poser). i felt oddly empowered. you know how people tell you to picture everyone in their underwear so you won't be nervous or intimidated? ya... but it's only the third week of classes. what will my journeys across campus be like by fina
