| i only remember useless things |
[20 Dec 2009|10:47am] |
i was trying to think of the decade in terms of what's happened in each year but i couldn't separate them. i couldn't remember what year i graduated high school. i don't know if my dad went to iraq in '03 or '04. i couldn't figure out when i moved into a house or made my first movie or when my step-grandfather's funeral happened or when i lost my mind and tied ribbons to trees and lived in the backyard for a couple of weeks. everything just kind of jumbles together.
but it's weird because i know what year i saw monsters inc. in theaters, when i first saw the royal tenenbaums, when charlie kaufman melted my mind with adaptation, and all of that shit. i can't remember what year my grandmother died but i know i saw donnie darko: the diretor's cut in the city on july 23, 2004 on the day it opened. i mean jesus, i graduated in may and can't remember which day but i know i saw a matinee showing of hostel on january 11, 2006.

"With the exception of the famous actors, every person we see fired in the film is not an actor but a real life recently laid off person. The filmmakers put out ads in St. Louis and Detroit posing as a documentary crew looking to document the effect of the recession. When people showed up, they were instructed to treat the camera like the person who fired them and respond as they did or use the opportunity to say what they wished they had."
the more i think about up in the air, the more i really, really loved it for more than just george clooney knowing how to rock a suit.

i got skins: series one from netflix and we've been rewatching it.
"you like me. you like me. look up if you like me. look up if you like me. look up if you like me. oh, bugger."
"i didn't eat for three days so i could be lovely."

  Here, Kaufman’s script echoes everyone who ever screwed up, got dumped, got fired, or had to move back in with their parents. Basically, everybody. "I got it this time," you tell yourself afterward. "I know how to fix things so that nothing this bad will ever happen ever again."

peace out, college. 98% was awesome, 2% was like an angst-filled daria episode.

i just remembered how much i love Fake Problems and then remembered that I've never seen them and then remembered that they're playing tomorrow in the city so now I'm tempted to skip my writing class (aka fail the course because my submission is due) just to go. Although this all depends on if I find $24 somewhere.

i graduate in a month. it’s a really weird feeling.
home was okay. i told my mom that i’m a complete fuck-up and i don’t know what the hell i want to do with my life and my only plans are to wing it and see how things work out. it’s not the smartest plan in the world, but it calms my head down a bit. i asked her to please not question me about the future because i’ll probably just freak out and start crying hysterically and it’ll be awkward for everyone.
she actually said that she thinks it’s a good idea for me to hang around the long island area and work a shitty job (petco?!) and save up as much money as possible so in a year i can move to brooklyn (with people i love) and turn my house into a sealab-esque venue. she thinks i’ll be really happy if i’m surrounded by good friends and music and a “nice punk rock community” (lol), especially if i spend my spare time writing and filming things (i’ve been dying to make a documentary lately). i can’t disagree there. it’s pretty much my ideal life, it’s just weird that she understands. i don’t know. i’m really drunk.
i’m really glad to be back in boxhouse. i love eryka. i am updating my livejournal for her, although i don’t really have anything to say. hi, sunshine! you just went to bed. i am a creep.

i'm going to live in a house covered in records
and work in a television studio made out of cardboard
and spend my time making inventions out of household objects
and i will probably be your neighbor and a liar.
and i will marry a guy in a purple suit. and live happily ever after.

Things I like, unironically, although I probably shouldn’t: Fall Out Boy, the Garden State soundtrack, Zac Efron, my obscene amount of Brand New related merch, Chuck Palahniuk (pre-Haunted), that scene in Donnie Darko where Donnie’s all “Go home and tell your parents everything will be okay!”, Jake Gyllenhaal in general, the first season of The OC, the second season of Gossip Girl, the third Jurassic Park, the song “The Motivation Proclamation” by Good Charlotte (and most of that album, to be pathetically honest), the framed pictures of Destiny’s Child (original lineup) and Aaliyah that are inexplicably hanging in the bathroom of my parents’ house, Anchorman, that one new show with Jay Mohr where he’s divorced and has fat cheeks yet still manages to nail Jaime King from Sin City WTF, 8 Mile (and everything related to Eminem), spending too much time on IRC, most of Cameron Crowe’s dialogue with the exception of Elizabethtown, documentaries about Michael Shawn Hickenbottom aka Shawn Michaels aka WWF/WWE’s The Heartbreak Kid, The Nightmare Before Christmas and all the accompanying silly and unnecessary merchandise from Hot Topic, Craig Manning, every Warped Tour I’ve been to, lookbook.nu, 12/17 Vince Vaughn movies that I’ve seen, gratuitous use of the word “cunt”, Nylon Magazine (except when telling girls to dye their pubes blonde) Drake Bell, Batman & Robin (and every Arnold Schwarzenegger film except Red Sonja), Committed (although it only lasted 12 episodes and wasn’t really that funny), Christopher Titus’ show and stand-up, & the middle Jonas brother.
