just got back from spring break in georgia.

Sunday, December 30, 2001

i realize i have not posted for a few days and i know you guys are all so worried about me. and none of you are on AIM when i sign on!! i don't know why that is. is it a holiday thing? talk about an early frost.
sunday::: well it would seem we drove. and we only stopped twice and that's really really great and we made wondrous time meaning we got here in like. 10 and a half hours. ok not much happened. we arrived and everybody got hugs. why are southerners so emotional. oh and we didn't really do much except for luke tape recorded morgan and i disco dancing (she knew what she was doing, and i did not. it was choreographed dances from the show and i was clueless.) and then luke told me to talk about cheese and i tried and it was fucking hilarious. there is not a lot to say about cheese. oh and it was also discovered that phyllis has a fetish for filming food. (say THAT five times fast, good lord)
monday::: christmas eve. god i can't really remember much about that day. what happened. oh oh ok. *just asked luke and he was no help but i remembered anyway* right so we (luke, rachel, morgan, and i) had spent the night here (rachel and luke's house, which is across the pond from grandma's house, where the rest of my family is staying) right so we woke up and... i dont know i guess we just hung out a while. point: we then went outside and rode around in the golf cart and then we decided to attach the tarp but then we remembered the tarp was broken so we broke the trampoline and used the mat from there instead. and we used this cord wire thingie and attached the mat/tarp/thingie to the back of the golfcart. and then morgan and luke sat upon it and rachel drove round and i had a world of fun just sitting there and being slung round the seat. this practice is what we so fondly call "redneck bobsledding" or even "riding around on the tarp" so anyway that went on a good long while and it was discovered that morgan is very very sturdy and she hardly ever falls off, though luke 'falls off' intentionally even though its more like sitting off when the thing is going really slowly. so then rachel wanted to ride and so i pulled the three of them around while i drove but the thing was running down on powerness and it was puttering along slowly and tehy were like X_X and i was trying to be a responsible driver anyway, as i will most likely get my learner's permit thingie in a month or so. anyway they were like 'YOURE NOT EVEN TRYING TO SLING US OFF!' and of course the last time someone had been brutally thrown from the thingie (morgan, i do believe), jenny (rachel and luke's mother) freaked out because apparently she didnt want mom and dad to kill her. anyway. then they got really annoyed at me and luke took over the wheel and i didnt want to get on the tarp still anyway (i didnt have anything to change into and besides it was a cool emily shirt and my silkie pj pant thingies.) and luke managed to flip em around a good bit even thought he poor old cart was going to slow, until he nearly ran them into a tree and stopped juuuuust in time. (rachel had actually done that to morgan earlier, and while morgan tried to roll off the tarp, moving ever closer towards a big tree, i screamed and screamed until rachel screeched to a halt about half a foot away from morgan being abolished.) anyway we decided it was too cold and too slow to go on any longer and we started to charge the thingie up in the garage. yeah and morgan and luke and rachel were SOOOOOOO dirty i cannot even explain. and they had all kinds of little cuts and bruises and scrapes and wounds and the infamous 'battle scars'. after they got cleaned up i think we just hung out inside for a while before going to grandma's. anyway i think at some point amelia and chanda showed up. and we hung out with them for a bit but they had to go home because amelia said she wasn't allowed to spend the night at grandma's and they had to spend christmas morning with their parents (and sister and her husband and their kiddies) so that was goodbye. and uhm. i remember something about watching a movie or something with my parents and phyllis and ken and then i had cramps and made mom bring me some motrin and my back was itchy and morgan and i each fell asleep on some couches. and it was ok because we'd already made up the couches with the blankets grandma brought us, as we had to sleep there, as there was 'no where else to sleep' even though she didn't even MENTION that the reading room fold-out couch bed thing wasn't taken. but mom and dad were upstairs on this homemade king-size bed (we think they should've taken the reading room though because, on other nights anyway, there are more of us, kids that is, and you can fit more people on some huge home-made king-size bed than on that horrible little fold-out reading room couch bed potato thingie.) and phyllis and ken and nani (my mom's sister, her husband, their cat) had the blue room. anyway we went to bed.
tuesday::: i woke up far too early. mom and grandma are the LOUDEST people i know. ok it's really just the whole damn loud family. is that a southern thing? a south georgian thing? this is very interesting to me. well not just the loudness. but i always seem to find myself thinking of southern things and then i'm like 'oh wait memphis is southern in its way, isnt it' so then i have to think 'is it just a georgia thing? south georgia? bacon county? alma?' and so on and so forth. like that people are more emotional! ok i will talk about that later on the thursday bit. anyway. moving on.
the point is mom and grandma woke me up when they were screeching to each other from lke three feet away about 'HERES DEXTER AT THE DOOR' dexter being the cat who went 'missing' the night before. so i woke up but i was lying there for the longest time (as it seems i usually am.) so then dad came downstairs and phyllis got up and ken and everyone was waking up and morgan even woke up and aghagha then phyllis starting filming me 'asleep' (she has this new obsession with her video camera) and mom said 'morgan, go wake alanna up' and so morgan came over and i was smiling because i was awake, you know, a smile that could look like an asleep smile, not huge and grinning, but morgan leaned over me and i smiled big big big and laughed and laughed. i don't know why i'm talking about this, the post is going to be long enough anyways, what with it being christmas and all. anyway.
most people got some food. i think we were having. salmon and coffee cake, so of course i had a bagel with cream cheese. and so we opened our stocking presents. oh oh this would be the time to tell you that at grandma's house. generally everyone plays a little santa. this year we had real santa gifts (parentals) at grandma's and then we ALWAYS have presents from grandma that she labels 'from santa' and santa grandma is the best and she always buys wayyyy too much for us, poor thing. and then chanda usually sticks a few little things in everybody's stocking. but you can always tell about these things of course. and after that we opened our tree santa gifts. and mom felt guilty about getting so much from dad and we gave him three DVDs 'and no toys' so we gave him toys. we gave him the little buddy christ dashboard thing and a little gandalf figure and a sandman morpheus action figure. from 'santa'. and then we opened presents from each other (the people who give the present to you must ALWAYS be present, of course! that's a law!!!) and the present people included aunt ella, phyllis, ken, grandma, papa, dad, mom, morgan, and me. and we had to wait for curtis's (my mom's brother) bit of the family (jenny, rachel, luke) and danny's (my mom's other brother) bit of the family (sherry, chanda, amelia. no one was expecting rita, craig, gabrielle, and cassandra to show up. rita doesnt like us. meaning my mom, really. and our little bit of the family) so anyway. curtis and all of them were with jenny's family and eating lunch and opening presents there and i dont know where danny and all them were. probably still opening things and turning deer into bacon and such things. so we sat around for a few hours and morgan fell asleep and then curtis and rachel and jenny and luke AND chanda came riiiight was we were sitting down to lunch and of course they'd just had it, so they opened presents while we ate and watched them. oh it was like a festival. even though i probably just had a roll, i can't remember. so then we opened presnts and everyone opened presnts and it was a joyous occasion except for that chanda gave me no doubt's 'rock steady' and i died at that but i think she mentioned returning it anyway even though i didnt say a thing about not liking it. anyway i think this would be the time to discuss what i recieved. bly has already asked me to post my christmas list wahaha.
from santa: night before christmas watch with the mayor on it (i always loved the mayor. morgan says he reminds her of me. perfect, eh?)
adobe photoshop essentials or something. lol i dont think thats what its called. anyway its supposd to be like the big special adobe thing except it's the kinds of things that regular people would use and they took out a bunch of the fancy stuff. dad is probably more excited about that than i am.
'burning down the house' which is a book including poetry by the five winners of the national slam contest thing in like.... 99, i think? from the nuyorican poets cafe. wondrous! i haven't really gotten to start it. i tried to, but i just got halfway through the introduction.
madame alexander doll. it's a princess and quite cute. sort of sulkie, dont you know. morgan got one as well but hers is victorian.
'born blue' by han nolan. no idea what it's about but i needed a new book. and the author is supposed to be good, i do believe.
ani difranco's "living in clip" -- dad actually told me that he bought this RIGHT UNDER MY NOSE when i was at borders with laylee and brittany. and the poor sweet man ran out to the car to hide it in the pouring rain -- do you guys remember that night?! it was like a fucking flood!! he also said that borders had a few other things from my wish list such as 'dig me out' by sleater-kinney but he remembered my comment thing on 'living in clip' was that i could never keep enough money to buy the damn thing. and it had that 'jesus vs. buddha' thing at the very end and i laughed and laughed all night long OH AND BRITTANY!! WAS THE GUY'S NAME LARRY BERGER?!?!?! HE'S THE ONE WHO CAME UP WITH THE TITLE FOR 'LIVING IN CLIP' AND HE'S PART OF THE PA TECH AND THERES A PICTURE OF HIM IN HTE LITTLE BOOKLET WEARING A DRESS AND TERRIFYING ME but morgan said our larry was bald.
in my stocking there was a tiny little note (in my mother's wondrous handwriting. quite appropriate) with a little poem she'd obviously written and it basically informed me that my big main christmas present thing is a cello and lessons. i am quite excited but i hope it works... apparently mom wanted to actually have a cello there but you have to get measured and it wouldnt be a surprise and anyway i would have noticed it in the car.
from phyllis and ken: 'spiritual machines' by our lady peace. phyllis is really great, especially about music. she listened to a lot of stuff on my wish list and she says she liked their sound. and plus she said there were so many women she thought by giving me this it could be something different. she likes to be different. i love phyllis.
'electric honey' by luscious jackson. i don't know how i'm going to feel about this. i havent listened to it yet. but i'm kinda excited because phyllis used to live in the same neighborhood as the bassist from luscious jackson and they met and talked and stuff and she gave phyllis tapes and everything!!! oh wow i thought it was the coolest thing. plus,
she gave me a tape she'd made of one of luscious jackson's earlier albums, the juliana hatfield album she has (which turns out to be 'become what you are' which is one i have anyway) and a couple songs off this 'early 90s' compilation cd type creature she had. one is the smashing pumpkins and maybe sarah mclachlan, i dont remember.
from aunt ella: $50 inside a skary jesus card.
'this way' by jewel. poor thing said she didn't know what to get me so she asked chanda to pick something out. and chanda later said this was THE only thing she could find from my wish list. one of the songs is called 'jesus loves you' and i went X_X..... and read the thank yous to see if she had thanked god or something skary. but then i listened to it and it was like 'they say jesus loves you... what about me?' so it wasnt terrifying.
from danny, sherry, amelia, and chanda: 'rock steady' by no doubt. x_x chanda mentioned returning it but we kind of didnt. probably because she kind of disappeared one day and never came back.

OK! OK! wow i'm really not in the mood for this but MIZZ LAYLAY wants me to do all this.. ok so let's see. what's today. ok so georgia
friday::: i think i was the last person to wake up on this day. but it may have been a different day. so uhm, we woke up...... OH I remember now. ok. so amelia had had her mouth worked on the day before and her fillings refilled and things. and a couple days before THAT chanda had her mouth done and they pulled all four wisdom teeth and another extra one because she has a small mouth. and she woke me up and told me about her teeth and things. and then i asked if we were going to a movie, and she said we were. so i got up and got dressed and we left like right then because, you know, you have to drive like an hour to get to town. so at 4 we went to see 'planet of the apes' and it was good. there were some funky camera shots when i had no idea what was happening and then after you thought about some elements for too long, they made absolutely NO sense. so the movie wasn't very well thought out in some aspects. but the costumes and makeup were great and may have been the best part of the movie. they gave us free posters, too, even though most of them were the girl. who wants a poster of the girl!!??? her part was very small. but at least the humans talked in this one. we watched 'almost famous' on dvd at curtis and jenny and rachel and luke's house.
saturday::: i woke up to the sound of morgan yelling at me to wake up, that we had to go see lula mae. i guess that's how you spell it. she's................................................ my great aunt?? ......... maybe? and her husband. uncle herbert. i'll have you know that herbert is pronounced 'hubbud' well, something like that anyway. and we ate the most enormous lunch there and i sat next to lula mae and she kept trying to make me eat more food than i wanted/needed/could physically consume. and she told funny stories and mom warned us not to get into politics, because, as dad said, her opinions were just about 180 degrees from where we stood. or dad, anyway. but i guess i think like him. then we went to see aunt macy, who's one of my great great aunts, i guess. i have absolutely no clue when it comes down to it. maybe i'm getting them backwards. her husband had died and she lives all alone. well at both of their houses, though, we looked at old photos and things and morgan kept saying what a cute baby she was and telling me how much cuter she was than me and how mad at me she is. and then we left and went home. and i don't think anything else interesting happened. oh no, wait, it did!! the power went out all over waycross and alma and things! and we were watching a movie, too!! yes, yes, i remember everything now. rachel had just given us (morgan, herself, and i) these huuuuggggggggeeeee bowls of chocolate chip ice cream, they were so good. and there was no ice cream left either. not of that kind anyway, but granma usually keeps 6 kinds lying around. amelia got mad because we'd finished it and there was, apparently, nothing good left. but she was going to a party anyway and she left with granma to buy a present. at the time, papa and chanda were at chanda and amelia's granny tanner's house, picking figs. it started to thunder and lightning and it was so dark and cloudy but there wasn't any rain. and then the power died. yes and we had bought 'what women want' on pay per view thingie because 1) they weren't showing anything else 2) we were bored out of our minds (we'd been home a bit) and 3) i have no fucking idea. so where was i. yes. well at least it was one of those all day ticket thingies so we could watch it once the power was on. and jenny and luke had driven over from their house across the (small) pond to see if our lights were out....... which they were, of course. and chanda and papa came back. and (great) aunt ella came out and asked what was going on. she had probably been listening to christian radio and it died and she was all alone or something. she lives at granma's, you know. being her sister and all. soo where was i. dad was content enough just reading. but we were all dying, and all the parentals combined were telling us that we couldn't live without our electricity and that we had no imaginations and so we all drove over to rachel and luke and jenny and curtis's house for no reason whatsoever. and luke and i continued our monopoly game, because rachel and morgan had quit and luke had rachel's stuff and i had morgan's. but rachel was so bored that she wanted to play too, so we gave rachel back her properties (with all the houses luke had put on em!!) and we split up morgan's properties while jenny split all our money into thirds. most of it had been mine. after my extreme low, i had been doing really well!!! well the lights came back on so we all piled off to grama's to see if THEIR lights were working and then ella got mad at us because we'd 'left her all alone' and we 'didn't care what happened to her' and she said the phone didn't work. even though it did. apparently, papa had disappeared into oblivion, granma and amelia hadn't come back, and chanda had run off to pizza hut and kfc to get us food!! the power was working when she got back, weilding two pizzas, breadsticks, and those little honey ribbie chicken thingies. whatever they are. they smell funny though. and we watched 'what women want' because it was just near the beginning again, and we'd seen that part already. and it gave everyone else a chance to watch it again. so after it was over we all piled off to jenny and luke and curtis and rachel's house again so that morgan and i could find all our stuff. rachel and luke and i finished up our monopoly game while we watched 'nurse betty' though it wasn't NEARLY as bad as brittany said. she obviously only watched the first 10 minutes. though the jacobs family is not partial to blood and gore so they fastforwarded through the part where they scalped the guy and they killed him and we didn't realise until the end that nurse betty had watched all that!! it ticked me off. it was a weird movie, with some interesting parts. i mean i think they could've ended it earlier than they did. because it got really depressing and then it tried to become happy and it left me sort of sour. and then..... ohhh luke and rachel and morgan and i watched music videos. and there was the best thing uhm we saw the best video ever... everyone go download the mp3 or stream it or something, or watch the video!! ok well we saw it on 'the wedge' late at night on much music so if you have that, i guess it helps. ok ok!!!! "Poodle Rockin'" by Gorky's Zygotic Mynci.... well it was something like that anyway.
sunday::: we got up and then we drove. and i have to go so i can't say anything else right now, not that much happened. i read a bit of mighty crispy.
