She Attempts Some Sort of Daily Record:
05.08.01
Last night my little brother called me! My little brother is the cutest of all the little brothers in the world. We talked about lots of stuff, he wants to go to the Placebo show too. It's sold out. I'm going to have to get someone's pimped tickets or something but I want to bring a bodyguard. Anyway he finished his research paper on Italian Futurist Art and his school did not win the punk rock prom but who cares. It's Offspring and Weezer. And besides, they're from the US and they actually tour. My little brother likes Tricky now isn't that cool? I told him we'd go to the show if he plays this summer.
We watched The World's Most Deadly Bugs on the Discovery Channel and I told my brother and he was like "you get your friends to watch that stuff with you?? ? Dude, Mary you're such a nut...."
05.06.01
Woke up for my daily power bar and then went back to sleep.
Ate some mint chocolate chip ice cream and took a shower because I smelled. And because last night I spilled a whole fuzzy navel on my hair so it stuck straight up by itself.
05.05.01
Today was my party and no one came. They all called and said that they were too busy with finals/couldn't make it (they're all poopers. do you hear that? you're all poopers, guys) so laith and I smoked some joints and played the gummo soundtrack and had fuzzy navels and I was fielding phone calls from 10 people. I am not upset that no one came, there's more party food for me. I only buy stuff that I like so maybe I subliminally plan for situations like these...Jess and I met up at the batcave after and alicia and laith headed off somewhere else and the cruxshadows were playing. I had no idea what they'd be like but they were good! The violinist chick was really cute. I think I want to play the electric violin now too. Rogue sang part of the last song to me, he went out in the audience and he shook my hand and sang a few verses to me. I was standing there and I had this look like what the fuck? so he broke concentration and started madly grinning it was funny.
I don't know why everyone always goes after the MALE rockstars when it's the FEMALE ones who have all the charisma!
Ever since I was little I have always looked up to really cool chicks. it was courtney love's band hole that inspired me to play guitar when I was 13, and right now I just adore amanda and alicia and DJ Rap. When I was really REALLY little I looked up to my babysitters. I get into ppl like Jean Shrimpton and Edie Sedgwick (faces with blurry personalities) and music chicks like Stevie Nicks and Exene Cervenkova.
05.04.01 continued (nacht)
Theresa and I went to sarah's show for her store in the pink and I showed my pink skirt with the purple ties! The tv guy was there and he had us all doing the little model walk in front of the camera and then he had us all do our little "personality" shots so I got up there and started dancing like it was MTV's the grind until he was like "next person!" and then I felt bad, like I was an attention hog. I was having fun dancing though and I got sidetracked, 'cause when you're on a dance floor and there's music playing no one ever says "next person" to you and expects you to move. I love sarah, she's just the sweetest person and my skirt was a hit and her dress was gorgeous. I hope she gets famous.
Theresa and I went to this pretty good italian restaurant on bleecker street and then we got ice cream (and I got a cupcake from my favorite bakery called Magnolia Bakery) and we ate it in the park across the street. The Bleecker Street Park is a riot in the daytime 'cause all the little kids are climbing on the jungle gyms and it looks like an ant farm.
05.04.01
Jess is painting me for her expressionist painting! I have a zit that is exactly halfway between my eyebrows but I don't mind that much because it's like a free bindi.
Technically it is friday may 5th.
I have to make some final notes on the subject. Lindsay got an apartment in hollywood so roz and party have been staying there after perversion.
Art is back in LA kicking it to the sound of cars and sucking up the vibe. LA's not all that bad although there are much better places. I'm happy I'm going home, I miss my mom and my dad and my little brother!!! He's getting OLDER, he's entering the punk rock prom!
Baby what's so punk rock about weezer? other than....punk rock is inherently dork-driven?
Ashly the bitch roommate parked a grocery shopping cart in our front entrance. Everyone who came in was like WTF, in a sick way it was sort funny to watch. Ashly H. is so annoying, she's like the gum I can't get off my shoe and the mosquito that gave me a tumor and the zit that I just can't pop that grows bigger every time I try to pop it. Joanne told me that this special clinique gel works really good on them so tomorrow I am headed out to buy a mother's day gift and some zit gel.
05.03.01
Today I am going to eat mexican food with jess and I will wear my new purple tank top from old navy that I got for 10.50 when I was buying photo paper. I am eating peanut m&ms and these retards were discussing punk rock in the darkroom and it was like shutup you live in jersey...no wait...shut up you're talking about a concert that you missed....shut up b/c you're actually being serious about it (there's nothing serious about punk rock, punk rock is all about sarcasm)
I'm inviting everyone to my party. It's not like it's a big thing 'cause it isn't, it's a small party and there are times during the day when I don't even want to have it. But today I found these new Lay's Bistro style chips in the Applewood BBQ and Smoked Cheddar flavor and I bought bags ahead of time so it's sort of revving my mood up for the party.
I saw this girl on the subway who was even skinnier and bonier than Susan. Her jeans were skinny and her back was a little hunched over (mineral deficiency?)and her arms were so thin you could see the bone. What's up with people and food? There's so much of it, why aren't people eating it?
I want to explain to Simon and my dear Audience that the past few entries were BOOTED when I tried to update my site. How dare they! I will be moving to angelfire very soon. However due to Audience's demand, I will try to recreate some of the past few days.
05.02.01
Ok I will get teased even more. I collected two phone numbers today and then I thought about getting this other chick's # 'cause she lives in malibu but then I was like that has to wait until another day.
Mike gave me his phone number. He only gives it to guys but we're buddies so he gave it to me. He's coming to visit too. And Jess, this cool girl from Los Feliz and I exchanged addys so we can hang out a bit this summer.
I saw Susan today. She has the skinniest arms and the hollowest collarbone, I wish she'd eat.
05.01.01
Maynard showed us some of his work. I am not one for gender typing AT ALL but all I have to say is only a man could have done it. It is so fucking analytical and anal and linear....he builds mathematical models (the kind you can find in your textbook) using computer programs and then he paints then on large canvases. So there you have a wire sphere painted in various neon colors. He tried to explain to me that his work was actually very feminine but I disagreed, I think his work alienates ppl without his intention. It's just so CRUEL. I would never live in a house with one of his paintings.
Laith hasn't called me so who knows if I'm still having this party on saturday. It'll be great when all my guests show up though.
04.29.01
I met the coolest lady, her name is Sarah Davis and she runs this store called In the Pink. I was just wandering around trying to find the offspring 7" for I'll Be Waiting for my brother's punk rock prom challenge and I had gone to ten million stores that didn't have it (vinyl is extinct, it is.) "In the Pink" is this store that's sort of a workspace and you just go and pay $8 and make clothing and I made this skirt and I bought it($12) and she's having a show this friday and the tv people are going to be there and she wants me to go and model the skirt. It's so pretty! It's pink and gauzy with purple ties. I'm going to wear a white slip underneath and a white tank top and my flower wreath. I have to find people to go with me.
04.27.01
ok Simon is staying with Auntie Jessica this weekend as a hostage exchange because last night I tried to kill a moth with Grinchie, Jessica's stuffed animal. I think I just have a different perception of bugs than most people...it's all organic material. Animal, Vegetable, Mineral, Criminal. On wednesday night I killed a FLY with a PAINTBRUSH.
Today Joanne and I are going to the Zen Palate near union square and I may call up Laith to bug him since he lives right there and maybe I can see Alicia too!
It's Coachella this weekend in LA. TRICKY is playing. I adore tricky. There's something so witchy and fascinating about him, he's so hardcore and gnarled and jaded and mongrel (his description).
04.26.01
"Oh Maybe maybe it's the clothes we wear, the tasteless bracelets and the dye in our hair." -suede.
Met Theresa at It's a Wrap for dinner on her break, turned in my Crowley paper, tagged Andrew back with a phone call. I want to see him before school ends, he's full-time moved to NY so he has no reason to come back to LA except to hang with me and stay with me and rock out with me. Andrew's one of my best friends.
04.25.01
The Heights. I'm turning into my worst nightmare. We need new material. We're going to the Hudson Bar next week (Hudson =Ian Schrager's new hotel)
04.24.01
So there was a possibility that I could be a DJ this summer but my partner DJ Man is touring w/his band so it probably won't happen. or maybe it will happen but a long time from now.
I forgot to tell Simon (my diary) that Alicia invited me to dinner with Laith and her last friday! I told Laith to go without me though 'cause Addie and I were supposed to go to Urban Outfitters. We were waiting for the subway and I was cleaning stuff out of my small bag and I found all these papers with girls' phone numbers so Laith was giving me a really hard time about that but it's NOT what he thinks! I just like making friends who are girls and I haven't gotten around to putting their numbers into my phone. it's easier than having guy friends 'cause sometimes they end up liking you (although this happens with chicks too). So I'm really picky with my friends in general for lots of reasons, right Simon?
We are all being transported to oz over here with the mad wind speed.
04.23.01
Worked on my Crowley paper next to a girl _sunbathing_ in a teeny bikini, it's like can we possibly advertise ourselves as more desperate? Get a grip people.
04.22.01
It was GORGEOUS but almost a little too hot outside. Theresa and I dressed up in skirts and t-shirts and went PowerBar shopping at three Duane Reade's and they didn't have my flavor so I might have to order them online. Theresa was that cool, to go to THREE duane reade's and the art store for me. We also went to urbn but I had to get out because it was steaming hot...it must have sucked to work there (hi dave!) j/k.
04.21.01
We picked Joanne up from work because it was raining and she didn't have an umbrella. I saw it coming down outside and I was like Theresa, her new suit! And Theresa said Mary, her hair! So we called her and raced out and then came back and watched movies.
The weather is so HEAVY. It's like an added pressure. I have decided that nothing is like pressure but pressure. People always talk about being pressured into things or the pressure of work but I say nothing pressures you like a really humid barometer reading.
04.20.01
Met Joanne for lunch then went to Victoria's Secret to open my Angel account (she has to get one credit card per shift) and bought stuff so she could sell it to me. We're so ghetto.
Went to the WBAR thing. I met a lady and I asked her if I could take a picture of her really cute baby and she said yes and then she asked if I would mail her copies. So I told her of course I would and then she asked me if I did headshots! I said well I guess could.
The Morningstar with Addie, Sarah and Alissa. They had chocolate milkshakes.
04.17.01
ok I have like 100 sketches due by the end of the year. That gives me less than a month. Four sketches a day? Shit. Then I have to take and develop ten more rolls of film, write a paper comparing the Tao Te Ching and Crowley's The Book of the Law (I am challenging myself), AND write four more short stories. shiiit.
Additionally I have to do last minute college stuff.
I don't know where I'm going to school next year.
I gotta start sending my shit back. I have too much stuff.
I am eating easter candy like veruca salt. But that's way too much about me, someone needs to kill my ego.
I haven't seen susan and I called her and she didn't call back so I am really worried about her.
It was good to talk to roz. She's working at the la times.
TOBY I LOVE YOU I HOPE YOU'RE FEELING BETTER!!
And I am going to visit Dara this summer yay! Maybe Carla will come with me, I have to ask her. Made a mixed tape for dara yesterday. Wrote Lisa Rado (I pelt her with letters). I am thinking about a giant terrarium for my giant millipede which I want to get this summer however I need to find housing for it and see if I can take it on the plane so it can go EVERYWHERE with me!
04.15.01
Erin came over a few days ago, we did n33 with Laith, they make the best margaritas and she got some boots and I finally got a croque monsieur! We went to petco and I wanted to see a pinky mouse because those are what Erin's snake eats and this really nice lady was showing me her pet rats and she even brought out a small pinky rat for me to see, he was almost FETAL! he was the cutest smallest little rat, absolutely adorable. his eyes weren't even open. And I couldn't touch him because his mom would have rejected him had she smelled my scent.
Oh I also found the perfect live pet for me: a millipede. It's $10 so it comes out to only a couple cents per leg.
Hung out with Tia and her friends... "We're Going Out!" which I found equated to barhopping. They do this three times a week. Anyway it provided enough material for years and years of enjoyment, I will not forget when one of her friends tells us that they're gonna bust all the bars in the columbia area --"bring out the book"-- so we better stay where we are. Right.
It is Easter today. Candy.
04.11.01
I am still sick today. But I went to the MET which has too much art to appreciate. They should break it up for you.
I'm listening to loads of X because I'm that sort of mood. It is raining again. I didn't go to any classes today. I am having another Thursday night but on a Wed. I saw Mona today and we are hanging out on Monday.
I found out the Cult is playing! Universal Amphitheatre August 3rd. I guess it would be frivolous to go for one song but I love "Edie, Ciao Baby". So I will go for that.
04.10.01
I am sick today.
04.08.01
Recovering.
Did ALL my laundry. Invited Erin to come visit me this weekend.
04.07.01
Fashion show disaster. More later when I can talk about it...next year.
Mel surprised me with Trainspotting! I had been trying to rent it from kozmo.com but she went to Tower and we all watched it after TheDisaster.
04.06.01
Alright. Last night shouldn't happen again for awhile. Laith, tia, danielle, and danielle's friend Becky at 9pm at LeMonde. I like Becky a lot. She's going to Spain this summer. Had my first glass of wine for the evening and they couldn't make me a croque monsieur (take 2) I am almost POSITIVE these places are run by the same management. Laith and I hit the Heights and I ordered a frozen strawberry margarita which was so good that I ordered a peach one, and then I met this chick who gave me a little shotglass filled with blue stuff. So I was drinking like three things at once and Laith was downing the red wine --he's cut out the hard liquor-- I don't remember getting home, only that I landed in my apartment trying to look decent and my roommates were watching toy story 2 and sherman was telling me about some guy who has a crush on me while I fell asleep on my bed and then I had to wake up at 8:48 to have breakfast with my grammy who's in town.
Today we went to the circus. I have been to the circus before, I'm sure, I just can't remember when. I was tripping deep on the costumes or something...totally mesmerized until the end when I got really excited for the trapeze artists. They were fucking cool.
It was weird 'cause we were just rolling along broadway in the bus and we saw the sign for the Ringling Bros. circus and there was a group of protesters protesting the use of animals and I was like now I gotta see this. It was almost freak-show appealing. So we randomly decided to go, and I was surrounded by foot long hot dogs and nachos and chips and cotton candy and snowcones and it was like the effervescent memories of baseball games back when I was little.
04.05.01
Since life of late has consisted of sleeping and going to clubs I am seeking gainful diversion. I am going to eat a croque monsieur tonight in the company of laith, tia, and danielle. I also want to rent Trainspotting again.
I'm worried about Jess. She's still in a funk.
Saw John after not having seen him for a week.
04.04.01
Toby got a job researching an obscure philosopher! And he may even come for a little while this summer. Submitted another band review in sonnet form for TESTEM (looks great Dara&Toby) really enjoyed Sacha's piece too. Saw Susan today. She looks a tiny bit better. It was such a nice day today since it was sunny but not too hot and I ate a snickers while walking to bloomingdales. I got sunglasses for $16. I'm dragging Joanne with me to the MET for my class field trip w/Maynard. We're supposed to make tunnelbooks out of a painting so I brought up the possibility of making a tunnelbook out of an egyptian tomb painting. I don't get why everyone last semester chose like the same four artists.
03.31.01
woke up at 8am to print b&w pictures in time for Theresa's fittings at noon. got to breakfast at a breakfast-ish hour, Geoff spikes his hair with gelatin now. (sort of reminds me of zeke my photo teacher who makes sculptures by putting things in gelatin and cutting them into slabs). Hardcore nap. Club in Tribeca tonight, Sal & Theresa, Jess is going to something at studio 54, and the champagne will flow.
03.30.01
Where do I start. I did like a million things today, all starting from when
I rolled out of bad at a horridly late hour. I took pictures of Theresa for
her fashion show, then showed up at Astor Place to meet Tania and Anna at
starbucks (this one's HUGE) we walked to get her a __insert name of
modelmanagement company__ met up with Laith at other music and bought
tickets for Rap tonight and went for a drink at n33 and I missed out on
dinner with Tania and Anna and Anna's roommate at a Thai place which SUCKED
but I got back and found out that CVS couldn't develop b&w film in an hour so
I had to bust ass in the darkroom in time to make it to the show AND claim my
food at the front desk and I'm on the phone and photoshoot w/theresa and it
was sooo fashion hyperbole. I was supposed to have dinner with my cousin who
is in town but I don't know how that would have fit so we're having breakfast
tomorrow.
The World of Drum and Bass. Rap. She was so fabulously amazingly awesomely
too-cool. She looked really hardcore involved in what she was doing,
coordinating a million things on her mixing board/turntables at once. The other DJs
before her were decent but she was the best! And she was the only chick. I
danced and danced and looked like a moron but it was the best.
03.29.01
Really happy 'cause Tania's in town! so's my cousin Geoff so we may drag him to Float but he's backing out of DJ Rap to go to _RENT_. It's raining. Ursula the bitch sat next to me in philosophy class today but she looked all thrashed so who cares. Ashly's mother is staying with us for the next few days rounding out a cosmically fucked March....they all are. She'll never leave despite the time and aggravation we keep pounding into these RA meetings. I can't wait to switch schools. oh and Sacha might come to the Batcave which would be cool, I haven't seen her since october.
Tania came over and it was like mad chaos in the apartment w/mel and greg and
eddie and ashly's MOM.
03.28.01
Sat in the lunchroom "studying" my taxidermy book. Finished small mammals, pickling, and small to medium sized fish.
Susan almost went to the hospital. She said she stopped eating. It's weird
how someone who is punk rock and whatever succumbs to really mundane but
awful social pressure. Oh and she got in a car accident, a hit and run, and
she's on pain medication for her back. And she had to see the nutritionist
and is taking all sorts of protein and vitamins. And she isn't living at
home anymore. She said a couple months ago when we were eating lunch "I
would die to be as thin as you." Break my heart.
03.27.01
Jess gave me a taxidermy book! it's the coolest!
03.25.01
last night theresa, joanne, greg, and I went to RM in tribeca and sal comped us with drinks! it was a cool birthday except I felt sort of like I was at a teen club. the upstairs was really neat though..it felt like someone's old house, tall ceilings and cool moldings and YUPPIE music, god I haven't heard that in a club before. Anyway it was either under 20 or over 30. joanne and I didn't end up at pridefest or the gay pride parade 'cause it was gross and rainy outside so we went to Macy's and H&M. I didn't find anything but she got a belt.
03.24.01
Birthday. Mine and Whitney's. :(
03.23.01
Amazing how little I've been doing lately.
Theresa, Joanne, and I are going to some club that Sal does tomorrow because it's my birthday. And I'm supposed to have dinner with Tia and Danielle.It's pridefest and the gay pride parade and the party is two blocks away! It reminds me of The West Hollywood thing they do every year. I remember how Steve dressed up as Stevie and had a special shawl and dress made for him. He got his friend to shine a flashlight on him so he could have a spotlight too. I wonder what Steve's doing now.
Can't believe school's almost over.
03.21.01
Chilled with Jess and stuff while she painted. Addie moved back in so everything's a little better.
03.20.01
It hit me. Band review sonnet is due. (TheEtherealSerialsAndTheEclecticMetrics)
03.08-18.01
Spring Break. It was fun. I worried about Roz and saw Carla and hung out with Gigi at the Hub, and it looked the same. Written off Chris as a speck of dust. Decided to become a breakbeat DJ. Saw my cousin Noah and now I don't have a favorite small cousin, they're all cute. Luke's pissed at me but I was stuck in Fullerton all day Saturday and I otherwise try diligently to be communicative.
--Nicole Franz died.
03.02.01
Winter Ball at school. Jess got the raddest hairstyle, twists with little pieces of hair flying out. Im going to have James do that for my hair when we go to a club!
03.01.01
Float. Theresa knows Sal the promoter so it was V I P. We're trying to see how little money we can spend so were going to all these places we can go for free everyone knows eachother or something...tomorrow its Joannes birthday party at this club called Tribeca.
02.26.01
Kind of freaked because Rose went on a 15hr drinking binge. Cant tell people what to do because they dont listen so Im not saying anything anymore.
02.25.01
Vibe is still sunk. Wrote about elective surgery (transgender and paraphiliasapotemnophilia=sexual gratification from removal of limbs) for lack of a more interesting topic. Tea with Anna. Listening to Bob Dylan. Listening to a lot of Suede.
02.24.01
Going to London this summer. Really excited. Erin and I are meeting up with Isaac and maybe Laith and stuff. Its like the 60s when everyone was going to Europe or just getting back from europe or explaining why they werent in Europe.(warhol)
02.22.01
Addies bitch roommate Ursula pulled bitch roommate tactics and ResLife made Addie move. Its making everyone furious and the bitch roommate is also suing for harassment which is the most hurtful awful untrue thing ever. The vibes down all over the place. Declared FUNK zone.
02.15.01
Remembered at the very last minute to return my kozmo.com video Go. Going to the bars near Columbia with laith under the pretense of hanging with tia. Ashlys birthday party is tomorrow so I have to remember to move the hell out at 8:30pm. Yesterday this annoying chick asked me if I was baking a cake for Ashly but Id rather bake a cake for Simon, my pet spider encased in plastic. Got a cool valentine from Sacha today. Shes amazing.
02.13.01
Wandered around Lincoln Center on the way to the bank. Kept stopping to take pictures and so spent half an hour going about 4 blocks. Eddie came over and we all ordered tacos and quesadillas from this mexican place around the corner. Ashly was being a brat about the trash, which she didnt take out. She left the bags OPEN by the front door so everyone was kicking them around when they opened the door. It smells, I want to move into the hotel down the street. Eddie wants me to paint a mural on his wall. I have to think of ideas.
02.12.01
It snowed . . . for about five minutes.
02.11.01
Got mixed up and took the wrong train and showed up at breakfast with Danielle and Tia a half an hour late. Was really embarrassed.
02.09.01
Rum and Coca-Cola with Jessica.
02.07.01
Writing band reviews in sonnet form for TEST EM, Toby and Daras new venture. (The Ethereal Serials and The Eclectic Metrics)
02.06.01
I successfully sat through my 3rd Visual Thinking class with Maynard which was TRYING, esp when he made me talk about all my hobbies and my photo class where I messed up four rolls of film in the developing process. The good news is that three rolls came out last night including this FABULOUS picture of lines that Zeke will hate and this cool picture of Amanda. Its snowing! Snowflakes on your tongue snow. John was raving during dinner and Jess and I flopped on my bed and bitched about the phonograph.
Thought about Whitney. Was watching G.Maynard flip through slides of Giotto and it sort of came back.
02.05.01
My Lost Highway cd came so now I can listen to This Magic Moment performed by Lou Reed over and over. Heard about some vampire biting Pam at the Rocky Horror Picture show. (How tacky . . . )
