God, I hate when lj isn't working. I'm in the process of making a new journal and it's going to be friends only. stefaniesays is where you'll be able to find me. Add me and maybe I'll add you back so you can actually read it. Sounds like a plan, huh?
I don't really have anything exciting to write about because I had a boring day. I'm watching Great Romances of the 20th Centurary on WE, Women's Entertainment. Adam was right, if you stay up late enough watching tv, you'll see that show. Haha!

I found some interesting people that have the same birthday as I do.
Ruth Bader Ginsberg
Chuck Woolery
Jerry Jeff Walker
Erik Estrada
Erick Estrada is the only one that I already knew about. Oh and on my actual birthday, March 16, 1983, the only interesting fact I found (and I don't find it very interesting) is that day was the smallest crowd ever recorded at the Cleveland Coliseum. Woo. That's swell. Haha, I'm obviously bored if I'm looking up stuff like that.
I didn't do much today, are you shocked? I ate some raisin bran and watched The Sweetest Thing. Then I helped Emily and Josh totally redecorate the apartment. Emily pretty much lives there now too. So do I, except I come home to actually sleep. Haha. I made dinner tonight. Go me! We did some pretty fun things to the apartment.
Now I'm just sitting on my ass listening to Pete Yorn. I'm bored to death and I should probably be in bed but I'm just not tired enough. Needless to say, I did not go to the show tonight. It just wasn't in me. Bleh.

Oh yeah, tonight I was supposed to go see Coheed and Cambria, onelinedrawing, Hopes Fall, and The Rocking Horse Winner. I already have my ticket but I just don't feel like going. I don't know what my deal is but suddenly I don't ever want to leave the house. I'm just not in the mood for a show or something. That can't be right though, I'm always in the mood for a show. This better get out of my system by Friday for HRC and Sunday for TJT and SoCo. I'm sure I'll be fine then. I'm just bummed as hell right now for no good reason. Blaahhhh.

I think I need to clean my keyboard.
Let's see...yesterday I woke up and Kristen called to see if I wanted to hang out and run errands with her. So we did that most of the afternoon. We went to Walmart, then ate at La Salsa, then since we were so close we went to Barton Creek. Talked to Dave for a while about movies and shows and stuff. Then we went to Hot Topic and Erick was there!! YAY! The last time I saw Erick was my last day, which was January 9. I didn't know it was my last day then so when he got off work I didn't say any special good byes or anything. They've been touring a little so I didn't think I'd see him any time soon. When I walked in I just saw Tony and J-Lo, then I saw Kristin. I walked over to look at the cds and there was Erick. He gave me a big hug and we talked about what's been going on in my life. Which is nothing, in case you were wondering. So anyway, it was really great to see Erick. We used to have so much fun together at work.
I came home from running around with Kristen and took a nap. Then I woke up and talked to my dad about the war some more. That topic really gets me worked up. Then I went to Sara and Helena's to watch Joe Millionaire. I'm very pleased that he chose Zora. I hated that Sarah girl. She was so fake! It really kind of surprised me that he picked Zora though, I didn't think he would. I'm not sure that he's her type. She seems a bit too intelligent for him or something. Eh, I don't know.
After the tv shows were over I went to Josh and Tiff's to hang out. We watched the pilot episode of My So-Called Life because Tiffany got it from Netflix. It has a few episodes on it. After the pilot, Emily and I worked out for a little under an hour. Then we went back and watched the next episode. I'm so in love with that show! I can't wait until I get the box set for my birthday. Which by the way, is in 26 days. Mark your calendars.
Ricky: If you were about to, you know, do it with someone, what would you want that person to say?
Angela: You're so beautiful, it hurts to look at you.
I love that line so much!
New Orleans in 10 days. What? Heh :)

Hello hello. Talk about a boring ass, mother fucking day. I woke up around 12:30 I guess. I sat around ALL day. My parents were busy like moving stuff into the other house but I just sat here. My back kind of hurt so I didn't feel like helping. At one point I ate some left over hamburger helper. Then at a later time I ate some cheerios. Fine dining at it's finest.
I scanned most of the pictures from the rally. Yep, that's about it I think.
At 5ish I went to Tiffany's where we sat all night doing a whole bunch of nothing. I'm so boring!
I think I might find a fun survey and fill it out. I know how much all of you would LOVE to read that.

So I was planning on going to bed but for some stupid reason, I can't sleep. Go figure. I'm exhausted but I guess that's not enough. So I'll write more because I have to update my lj more than Jesus.
Interesting things that happened at the rally:
-While we were standing by the street holding our signs cars would drive by and honk at us, then give us the peace sign or a thumbs up. Nearly everyone driving past did this. A few gave us the thumbs down or flipped us the rod. Come on now? Do you even know why you're pro-war?
-Some guy was standing near us preaching that we were all going to hell. He kept repeating the phrase "don't be a fool" I don't understand how he thinks that we're going to hell for protesting the war.
-An old guy driving by yelled out the window "Love it or leave it!" I wanted to yell to him, "We do love it, that's why we're here."
I have really lost my patience for ignorance lately. The information is out there, educate yourselves. I don't care if people don't have the same opinions has I do, shit like that doesn't bother me. What bothers me is hearing 19 year old guys saying, "I don't know anything about it. I don't care." You'll sure as shit care when your ass gets drafted and you're blowing away innocent Iraqis. If you're pro-war...rock on, but at least have your reasons for it. People think that either way, whatever they do won't make a difference. That's not true. You'll never know unless you try. That's something I learned today. Be a ripple in the stream. Sorry, I'm totally going off on this but it's just something that I feel very strongly about.
Memorable signs that I saw today:
-"How did our oil get under their sand?"
-"Homeland Security Tip: To Avoid Attack Use Duct Tape" then there was a picture of G.W. with duct tape placed over his mouth
-"Impeach the Asses of Evil"
-"How Many Iraqi Civilians Per Gallon?"
-a little girl holding a sign that said "I'm here because I don't like being lied to!"
-"This isn't a game and it isn't over" referring to Bush's quote, "The game is over."
Here's a picture of me and Emily today. I haven't scanned the rest.

Hey children! I changed my lj around tonight if you couldn't tell. I also changed my icons. I love the ones that Val made for me but I just need change quite often. So yeah, I made a couple new icons.
The anti-war rally was a blast. I had a really great time and I'm very glad that I took part in it. My mom took lots of fun pictures so once they're scanned I'll post them.
Other than the rally I didn't do much today because I was exhausted. I didn't sleep much last night and then I was out all day doing stuff and moving around. We marched pretty far today at the rally so that wore me out. I'm leaving you all with a picture!
It's Andy, me, and Stuart in New Orleans.
( he's the idiot son of an asshole. )

Well my Valentine's Day was pretty boring. I didn't cry! That's a bonus. I worked at the cookie store in Highland mall today to help out with all the Valentine's cookie cakes. And something really funny happened to me. So my sister went to high school with this guy Marc and he used to have a giant crush on me but I thought he was gross. I saw him about a month ago for the first time in probably 5 years. He looked really great and I was like "Damn, why didn't I ever like this guy?" Well he had a girlfriend when I saw him so I was like, eh whatever. It wasn't a big deal. So today I'm at Highland Mall and I see him walk by and I remember that he told me he worked at the Godiva store there. So after I got off work I went down there to say hi. We talked for a minute and he asked me if I wanted anything and I told him that I was on a diet. Then he said, "Well what about something for your boyfriend?" And I just laughed and said, "Yeah, I don't have a boyfriend. That's why I'm on a diet." And he said, "No Stefanie, you look good." Then this random guy in the store said to me, "Pick out something." I looked at him oddly and said, "What?" and he said, "Pick any box in the store. I'm buying it for you." I told him that I really didn't want anything and he said, "Well alright, but I'm serious...if you want something I'll buy it." It was really strange. Then I got all embarrassed and left hastily :/ I wanted to stick around and talk to Marc and see if he still had that girlfriend and stuff but I didn't. Rrar!
I came home from work and went to sleep for a couple of hours. Then Emily and I went to eat at Kerbey Lane. I think the people there thought we were fat lesbian lovers or something. Blarg. After we ate we made posters for the anti-war rally tomorrow. Mine says "DROP BUSH NOT BOMBS" on one side and the other side says "NO BLOOD FOR OIL" Emily's poster says "OUR WORLD, THEIR WAR" and "GEORGE: LET THE INSPECTIONS WORK" The rally should be interesting. There are quite a few people speaking and I can't wait to hear what they call have to say.
Because of that nap I took earlier, I am having some trouble falling asleep which isn't cool at all.
I told my parents about Evergreen and they think it sounds really great too. Yay! So the plan is ACC for a year, then off to Evergreen. Let's hope everything goes as planned. Heh.

Lonely Valentine's Day here I come. I have zero plans now. Even my friends don't want to hang out with me. I had plans but they've pretty much been broken. Let me just tell you, I'm sick and fucking tired if being walked on. I'm sick of trying so hard with people, and getting absolutely nothing in return. I'm sick of being taken for granted. I'm not fucking doing it anymore. People take advantage of me because I am a good friend, and I'm always there because I would appreciate people to do the same for me. Well that's not being done so I'm giving up. I'm not fucking tired of it. I just can't do it. Don't tell me that I'm the best friend you've EVER had and then treat me like shit. That's not how a fucking friendship works.
I should be happy right now because I just saw Further Seems Forever but I'm just so incredibly pissed off that it almost doesn't matter anymore. Details on the show. They played:
How To Start A Fire
The Bradley
Wearing Thin
The Sound
Pride War
Snowbirds and Townies
A Blank Page Empire
Pictures of Shorelines
Against My Better Judgement
The Moon is Down
I think that's it. It was a great show. Jason is so great. This is the third time I've seen them and he gets better and better every single time. I took lots of pictures but some were from pretty far back so I don't know how they'll turn out. I used black and white film. Yay. Jason is quite the hot piece of ass I must say. I've always thought that though. So tonight he dedicated a song to Sam from Dynamite Boy and Glassjaw. I about died when he said Sam's name because they're both like my dream guys. I decided I want to be in a sandwich made out of Jason and Sam. A Stefanie sandwich on Jason and Sam bread. Yep. That's what I want.
And now I want to go cry myself to sleep because the world is full of assholes.

So I realized something tonight. It's pretty pathetic. I have hit rock bottom with my life. Get this:
I don't work
I don't go to school
I live with my parents
I am single
I am fat
Tell me, does it get any worse than this? Seriously, I'd like to know what could be worse about my life. I'm such a fucking waste of flesh and space and everything else. It's sickening.

I bought Spider-Man valentines today. They're fun as hell! I need addresses so I can mail them. They sure won't get there by Friday but oh well. I wish I could find one like on the Simpsons. "I choo-choo-choose you!" Haha! That is so cute.
I'm working on a cd for Miss Kelly to send with her valentine and her fight club pins. It's going to be an interesting cd I think. The contents are a secret, but the title of the side is Come See The Softer Side. You think you know, but you have no idea. Heh.
American Idol was alright tonight. Josh and I voted for Rueben and Kimberley. They were both amazing. Also, I'm really happy to see people up there that aren't stick thin and perfet looking. Speaking of thin, I've been having lots of dreams lately about being skinny. I guess it's because I've been working out. It's getting weird though.
Thursday=Further Seems Forever. Yayyyy!!! I am really fucking excited. Then next week, I'm going to 3 shows. Oh and good news for me. Next Sunday I'm going to see Something Corporate and The Juliana Theory. Well TJT just announced that they're playing a free, acoustic set/cd signing at Tower before the show at Emo's. How excited am I? That's just fun stuff.
Tony, the old boss from Hot Topic, has a new slogan for his clothing line. The line is called Establishment and the slogan is "destruction through organization" Cool huh? Well anyway, I like it. I think he's a really rad guy and it's awesome that he's actually going somewhere with this project. Neat-o.
I think it is time for bed or reading. Tomorrow I am going to clean more and cook dinner again. On the menu: hamburgers George Foreman style. Hells yeah.
oh yeah...did the elliptical thing at the gym for 45+ minutes. Stefanie's legs=sore.

I had a fairly productive day today. I was hopped up on pain pills all day because of these cramps though. I read a little, then talked to my sister on the phone for quite a while. God, I fucking miss her so much. It makes me want to cry. We talked about movies, music, stupid people, fun gay guys, food, working out...all kinds of stuff!
I cleaned the kitchen like whoa too. I cleaned out the fridge, did the dishes...all that good stuff. I also made dinner while listening to Pete Yorn. Chicken fettuccini alfredo. Mmmmm! My dad asked me, "What's gotten into you today?" I guess he though I was going to ask for money or something since I did so much around the house today.
I'm out of ideas for mix cds. Uh oh! Help!! The cd making must not end. I made a really funny one the other day with A Flock of Seagulls, Zeromancer, Aneka, Tatu, Nena, Grand Buffet, and others. Yeah...super random and wonderful. Hehe!
Time to go veg out for a while before it's time to work out. Woo!

Not much has been going on with me lately. I'm a pretty boring gal :/
Yesterday I finally found AP with Taking Back Sunday on the cover. It took me forever to find it because everywhere I went, they only had the one with The Used on it. So yeah, I got that and Spin. I read them both last night. Oh yeah...Joe Millionaire can eat my shit. I'm so pissed off that I have to wait another fucking week to find out who he picks. Yes, I'm very addicted to that show, shut the fuck up.
I had grilled chicken and rice for lunch. Yay George Foreman! I also watched The Royal Tenenbaums. It's been a while since I've watched that one. Good times.
The new Further Seems Forever album came out today. I'm waiting until I see them on Thursday to buy it though. I think that's the cheapest way to go, and I'm cheap so...it works out. Oh! I forgot, so this month in AP there's a little add for The Conversation's new album hitting stores in March. I just about died laughing because there's this little picture of them and Jared is just so goofy looking. I wonder if Dave knows his friends are in AP. Heh...I already have that album but it's just a burned copy that I got from Jared, not the real thing with the cover art and shit. Funny stuff.
As always, I'm going to read now. Adios.
