Freshman year, I took a picture of my best friend. I was and still remain extremely proud of myself for capturing such a perfect moment. There was something intriguing about it; the reflection of such a beautiful girl could instantly capture any person's interest [with ease and grace].
Freshman year, I took a picture of my best friend. The beauty of it's entirety was almost breathtaking, but there was something [not] there that only I would notice. She was my best friend, and I knew every aspect of her personality and overall being that there was. What wasn't there in that photo, and what will never be there, are the things I love most about her.
This picture could not leave the lasting sound of her [contagious] laughter, let alone the other 6 she has kept inside. It could never allow anyone to inhale her striking vanilla scent or examine thoroughly her strut-like walk. Behind the black and white, you'd never notice the colorful aura she presents or her ability to light up a room with it.
Freshman year, I took a picture of my best friend.
Today, I took pictures with my best friend on her 17th Birthday. I'd like to tell you that things have changed between us since the creation of my masterpiece, but they haven't. That's the way I intend to keep it.
Happy 17th Birthday, Jessica.
I love you. |

So
I'm in the library with Ted
Do da dododoodod dadad ada dodododadadadadododaoda
We're thinking about how today we have rehearsal for Act 2, except he doesn't know his lines and I don't remember blocking for anything for some reason. He was just writing his little boy toy Jimmy a comment on MySpace. Oh, look at that! Now he's on Livejournal just like his buddy Eva. Hahahaha. I'm gonna write Ted a little note now.
Dear Ted,
How the heck are ya?
Last night remember we had hot dogsoptaqro for dinner and listened to Spice Girls.
LALALALA I am so fucking happy. HAHAHAHA.
Okay welp I guess I'll see you whenever I decide to look over and talk to you. HAHAHA.
ANYWAY, ciao.

I have only one burnin' desire...
Let me stand next to your fire
Ivan and I are home alone. Obviously, we have music blasting so the walls are shaking and I'm eating straight out of the cereal box. This is what happened last time we were home alone:
"It was so humorous, watching my aunts and uncles and Mom and Gramps walking out the door with shots in their hands. Ivan and I are home alone right now, and everything feels perfect. I'm left with the blasting sound of Fallout Boy, the smells of Grandpa and Arak, the taste of 4 suckers, half a birthday cake, Ivan, and my thoughts."
That was October 28th. Yeah, it's been that long. HAHAHA.
Today was nice. Chem went fine, had a quiz, whatever. Ted and I talked with Mrs.Dinmore all through Algebra. Then I was off for the day, yahoo! On 5th I listened to Ian's Ipod really loudly and wrote Jessica a note. Ali came a little later and we hung out for a bit. On B lunch I chilled with everyone, namely Jessica. Then on 7th, Beth and I went to 7 Eleven. We got some snacks, etc., and went back to the school. Let me just say, Beth is absolutely amazing and one of my best friends. Really, she was making me laugh so hard today and it was to the point where we were thinking and doing the same things. Why does that keep happening to me lately?! Anyway, after school the Acting 2 clan and I sort of worked on our Kabuki play. I went to rehearsal where the chorus just randomly walked on stage mumbling and yelling, and Kron yelled "WAY TOO EARLY!" so we just ran off still mumbling. HAHAHA, it was fucking amazing. Then during Both Sides of the Coin when Tim was running around the stage, he ran past Aaron and I and just started CRACKING UP. So it was like, "LAAAAA LA LA LA LA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA LA LA LA LA." Oh man, we were laughing so hard. Rehearsal ended and Ted and I drove home singing very loudly to Spice Girls. He came over and we ate hot dogs for dinner and listened to Outkast. We're cool like that.
I'm stoked for Winter Dance, pretty much. Beth and I actually worked on plans today which was good ("Someone should write this down..." *Both look around*) Hahahaha. Hope everyone had a great day, and I'll see you guys tomorrow! |

HAHAHAHA. Ahem.
In other news, today was nice. My back hurt like a bitch for some reason and it sort of ruined my life. Anyway, I got to hang out with Ali and we talked and I just love her to pieces. Lets see, what else was cool? I drew some sweet pictures and hung out with Jake for a little bit. Beth made me laugh trying to decorate his car and I met some of Mack's friends. Ivan and I watched the Even Stevens musical! That one is NEVER on! We knew all the words to the songs...I think my favorite is "Masters of the Gym." Does anyone know what I'm talkin about? Hm. I think I'm done writing because Raven is on and I can't focus and right now I seem to be the master of run on sentences. OOOOOO lalala. HAHAHAHHAHA my cat looks dead right now.

Mikey MacDonald - Jan 16, 2006
Chloe was born 6 years ago, at 9:38am, Sunday Morning, January 16th, 2000. The night before, Nicola and I ate a huge pasta dinner at Maggianos, after going to the Sport and Health gym to workout. (That'll pop'em out) Chloe decided to make her way out at 1am the next morning. Nicki woke me up (as i was passed out on the living room floor) telling me her water broke! We were well prepared, except the bottom half of my body was asleep, so I had to "army crawl" to the bedroom to get the bag, and get dressed. We had time to stop at the the gas station to pick up a disposable camera. (They were on sale from the 2000 new years eve). After a 6 hour labor of eating ice chips, and an epidural that only numbed Nicolas right leg, Chloe came out at George Washington University Memorial Hospital, in our Nations Capitol. She spent the next 3 weeks of her life at Children's Hospital in Northeast DC, because they found a cyst on the back of her neck that communicated brain fluid, and needed to be removed. The issue however, was that after it was removed, she was not absorbing brain fluid properly, and it was building up in her brain ventricles. So they operated twice on her brain to install a "shunt", which is essentially a small "pen cap" sized piece of hardware that opens a valve when fluids build up in her brain, and drains it through tubing that leads to her stomach lining. SO, 3 weeks, 3 brain surgeries, and almost $300,000 later, baby Chloe finally came home with us (I'll never forget that day). Some other things worth mentioning, Nicola finished a project for school THE AFTERNOON of her giving birth to Chloe. I went on paternity leave only a week after I started my new job as a Senior Account Manager at an Internet Start-up called E-Commerce Industries. We had sleepless nights in the NICU, cussing out nurses and Doctors at 4am, a 105 mile round trip commute in DC traffic (no less) to work, and taking semesters off of school to make ends meet (only to make up for them during the summers), all at age 19, the 3 of us made it through ok I'd say. Nicola is starting Dental School at USC in LA this year, after graduating George Washington University with a 3.9 GPA, I own a small, but growing consulting firm that is certified and approved by Microsoft, and MOST importantly (and what we'll celebrate next weekend at the National Zoo in DC) Chloe is Happy and Healthy leading her Kindergarten class in more ways than one this year. Already well on her way to becoming President of the United States of America in year 2036, so she can live in that nice little White House she drove by in an ambulance when she was merely 3 HOURS old. DADDY LOVES YOU CHLOE! |

Okay, first of all, let me just say that I KNOW I'm a weird ass and I KNOW I could be doing other things right now.
I was looking at my Fact or Crap calendar in my room, and I read this one about giant squid. Well, I've always had this weird fear of giant squid and/or octopodes, so I decided to Google it because...well...yeah. After already being scared shitless for a half hour, I found this:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7004909622962894202
Jesus Christ. Did you see the octopus fucking KILL THE SHARK?! I am so scared of octopodes.
Shit...
HAHAHAHA.
(P.S. I looked up the plural of octopus, HAHAHA. Octopi and octopuses actually originate as errors, but whatever.) |

My index finger rhythmically taps the 'Y' key until I figure out how to articulate what I want to say. Tap, tap, tap. It's not working, and my 'Y' key doesn't deserve this beating.
As I was driving to Boulder with my Mom today, I couldn't help but think about the three emails my sister sent me today. I opened them only to find links to websites of the University of Michigan and Michigan State University.
Tap, tap, tap.
What am I good at? What is my talent, my something to be proud of? I know I don't need to find it now, but for everyone else it seems to come naturally. Soon enough I'll be applying to colleges, but for what? I don't know why it's come so suddenly, but I can't seem to ignore it. I'm surrounded by everyone and their talent; everyone and their hobby, everyone and their niche. Me? I can't even figure out what I'm trying to say. There I was, in the backseat of Mom's car. For some reason, the mountains had never looked so beautiful today. I was completely intrigued by the fact that to my right was this massive sculpt of color and space, and to my left was the hazy outline of Denver. At that moment, I remember having the sudden urge to get the hell out. I must have taken that drive to Boulder a hundred times; I knew what was to my left and to my right. I don't want to know.
Tap tap. Tap tap.
I want to remember (even more precisely) how beautiful the scenery looked at that moment and exactly how I felt as well. I came home and sat on my bed, all of my 8 mm tapes and recordings sprawled out on my bed. 3:02:48; rewind, record. I continued to make the movie for my sister, carefully selecting which clips I should use and where to place them. My knees were tucked under my chin and my hours of film projected on my television.
Taptaptaptaptaptaptap.
How fascinating it is to be instantly taken back to a moment in time. My memories, they're my memories and I'll take care of them because I never want to forget. I never want to forget anything. For a second there, I felt all right. I thought nothing of it; but I felt all right. I stopped questioning myself and continued to replay my tapes over and over. Tonight at Shannon's birthday party, I found myself behind my camera most of the time. Never losing interest even though struggling to get that perfect shot.
We have a breakthrough.
Tap, tap, tap.
I may not have a talent; I may never even find it. However, tonight, I realized that it doesn't matter because I have a passion that I suddenly have a new great respect for. It may not be what I choose to pursue a career in or take me anywhere far in life; but it's mine. My camcorder, my camera, my tapes, my movies, my memories. How did I not see this?
Anyone need a 'Y' key? |

So, MikeyMac is back (obviously). I teased him about never leaving and he said the weather was too bad to drive in. He's waiting to leave until he gets something he needs in the mail. Psh, what a nerd.
Today I went over to Sarconi's house to get a cord I need to transfer Shauna's movie to a VHS tape. Well, I ended up staying over there for much longer. We watched Sky High (Hahaha, shut up) and this hilarious tape that they made. It was a music video to a Britney Spears remix that had all her songs in it. They re-enacted all her music videos and Nicole was Britney. Remember that video where she's in the bathtub and being mopey? They did that. I was bawling because I was laughing so hard. Then we chilled out in the playroom and had dinner,and watched some old movies. Every time I go over there I end up rolling on the floor and honestly thinking I'm going to pee my pants. And what's a night at the Sarconi's without a little That's So Raven? Now I'm home and extremely sleepy. :)
"Girl who screamed 'BE QUIET!' in the middle of the movie: Nicole Sarconi!"
"My cousin died from curiosity, once."
"My head never got back attached to my body because my body ran away in the woods somewhere."
Oh boy. Night everyone. |

There he goes. This time he held out his hand, inquiring a handshake. I pushed it out of the way, stood up and hugged him as hard as I could. He let out one of those grunts, you know? That sound that naturally comes when you're hugging someone tight. He gave Ivan a high five, they shared some weird inside joke, and he walked to the door.
You know, I'm okay, I just can't help but wish he'd do what he seems to do every time.
Drive an hour away and come back.
Be at the door of my room when I wake up tomorrow. I'll act surprised.
I'm begging you, just show up in a month or so for another spur of the moment visit.

It's like I told Tahoe, I've been going through this ever since I was 6. Whether it be Mikey, Shauna, Chloe, my Dad, or the rest of my family in Michigan. I'm sort of used to it by now. It doesn't mean it's easier, but at least I can expect it. I'm feeling pretty all right now, though. Mikey drove an hour away and came back. He claims it would be better to wait another day or so. He just walked in the door again.
In other news, today I definitely bought both of Kanye West's CDs. Not only that, but I also am the proud owner of Sky High. Go ahead, laugh. I will, HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I can't help it, Kanye is my hero and Sky High is a really funny movie. Bite me. Today was one of those days where I lay on the couch all day and watch cheap MTV shows. You know, like NEXT and Room Raiders. Ah, the beauty of being a teenager on Winter Break.

Well hi there all of you who read my journal!
Today was extremely slow. I woke up around noon (I know, I know) and got dressed and all that jazz. I was feeling really tired still, and sort of sick. Just a little head cold it felt like. So my Mom and I lay on the couches in the living room and watched CNN while Nikki and Chloe attempt to play Guess Who. Hahaha, that was funny, I ended up teaching them how. Mom cooked dinner and I watched some Lizzie McGuire. Gram took Chloe and Nikki over to the Sarconi's and they were there for a long time. I talked to Aaron who is over at Ben Lee's right now, and then Shauna called so I talked to her. Aps also called and she's the cutest girl I've ever met. Mikey and Moxy came over and ironed their shirts and got snazzy to go play poker with Chloe's other grandparents. Weird, huh? Anyway, Moxy is one stunning guy, I won't lie. Kira called and we talked on the phone for a long time because, well, we don't have lives.
But guess what?! Tomorrow evening, Ted, Kira and I are having dinner and then going down to the 7 News station! Anne is giving us a tour and then we're watching them do the 10:00 news. I'm so excited, I can hardly stand it. Although I think Ted is a little more excited than I am, HAHAHA. Holy crap, I just realized I'm going to see Marty Coniglio. My life is complete.
That's all for tonight, I'm EXTREMELY busy listening to RENT. I need to get back to that. Night! |

Christmas with the Kalush family is brunch. What is it with this family and brunch? Birthday brunch, Easter brunch, brunch brunch. I like it. Laughing for 20 minutes at things like "I want to see flying things!" and playing tricks on your uncle. Tricks like telling them it's a regular laser tag gun, but really when you get shot it sends an electric shock throughout your arm. Watching 3 grown men plus Ivan run around the front yard zapping each other, hiding behind trees and ducking behind cars. Plus a Mikey with a scarf tied around his head, but that's just Mikey. Opening presents and realizing that your cousins really are your friends. Talking over each other and the distinct sound of cackling laughter. What is it with this family and everyone having a cackling laugh? I like it. Talking on the phone with your little cousin who couldn't make it because she was too sick. My two brothers running around and making jokes, and also attempting to make faces at me when I'm not looking. Beating the shit out of both of them. Oh, and Christmas Eve? Dinner was a disaster. A burnt ham, a fucked up recipe for casserole, and yams. Mikey said, "EVA SAYS ATLEAST THE CARROTS LOOK GOOD!" and Gram responded with, "Those are YAMS!" Me laughing hysterically because I didn't say that. Racist jokes at dinner and opening presents. What is it with this family and not being able to be serious? I like it.
Merry Christmas, from the Kalush's.
