Chicago was fantastic. I ate the most delicious vegan food I've ever experienced and saw some really interesting places. It was the first time in a while that I went on a trip and really didn't feel ready to be coming home.
Sean's birthday party is this weekend, and that makes me excited. I hope everyone can make it and I hope we play a lot of games. What time is everyone coming out?
I haven't done anything towards the New York trip. I still want to do it though, but I know my car isn't available for it. So you should let me know if you'd be willing to take your car, OR if you'd rather we just make it a trip to Chicago, and maybe take the train there (it was comfortable and pretty nice). I've also been thinking about a trip to South Carolina, because my grandparents own a condo in Myrtle Beach and I'm sure we could all go down there for a few days. If I remember correctly it's right on the beach. Just something to think about. I really just want to keep traveling.
LMK.

Oh, man.
For the last month, I have done NOTHING. And pretty much loved it. Except now that it's coming to an end I'm seeing that I'm the laziest of the lazy and that I wasted a completely empty month that I could've used to improve my graphic skills, to be outside, and just generally live. It sucks because I feel like over the last year I've had a wonderful change of heart and attitude when it comes to my friends and family; unfortunately that change hasn't crept into my schoolwork or health.
On a different note, Sean paid for my HMC tattoo for Christmas. It's a lot different than what I designed, and because of that I'm having a hard time warming up to it. I got it done by Dawn Cooke at Name Brand Tattoo in Ann Arbor. It was supposed to also say "You never die and you never grow old" but I guess she wasn't comfortable with the font I wanted and didn't want to do it. I still want it though, and I hope to add it later if I can find someone who will.
I've also started pricing out our future road trip to the big apple. I looked at schedules, and to me it made sense to plan it for around labor day when most people get a 3-day weekend already. I'm going to put the rest of the information and prices behind a cut though in hopes of making it a little more clear. ( NEW YORK CITY )
Anyways, love you. Let me know.

This might be the most heartwarming thing I've seen all week.
Speaking of heartwarming, The 2nd Annual HMC Thanksgiving was unbelievably awesome, so thanks to everyone that came over and made it all possible. You are my favorite people in the whole world.
I'm so excited for Christmas shopping, I've got some decent gifts planned. And New Years! I think we should all get dressed up this time. I really feel like getting fancy.
I finally saw The Notebook and my god was it as good as every 17-year-old girl at Lakeland said it was. Laughed, cried, and I'm not even ashamed. If you haven't seen it, you really should.
Come visit soon, please.

Alright y'all, it's getting to be that time of year again. I know it may seem a little premature, but I'd like to start planning the HMC Thanksgiving to ensure that everyone has time to work out plans and request the day off.
Now to the gritty details. I need everyone's opinions on each of these topics.
First and foremost, a day must be chosen. Actual Thanksgiving is on Thursday, November 27th, so I thought we could choose between:
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 8th,
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 15th, or
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 22nd.
Please make sure that you respond saying what day works best for you. If you don't have a preference, please respond saying that.
Secondly, I thought that this year we could do it a little different and make a day out of it. People would be welcome to come anytime after 1 or 2 in the afternoon, maybe play/watch some football, help make some food, play games, and eat. People would still be welcome to stay the night, but it's recommended that you bring your own pillows and blankets. If no one likes that idea, we could stick with the usual: people come over around 6, eat, stay the night, and hang out until whenever on Sunday.
Thirdly, Sean and I have been tossing around the idea of also hosting an informal Holiday gathering in the month of December, and along with it, having a "Secret Kromdore" gift exchange. We would probably pick names on "Thanksgiving."
That seems to be it. I love you all.
P.S. I apologize in advance that I'm also posting this on MySpace, and will probably continue to bug people until I hear from them. It's just because I want you to be involved.

I fought with my mom and didn't go home last night. I felt really proud for a while, but I'm feeling scared now. I think it's because I don't want to hurt everyone, and I only did this because I'm dying for a feeling of comfort and happiness, which generally aren't the adjectives one would use to describe my home. I miss my dad already though, I feel so guilty when it comes to what I put him through. 'm not feeling brave as I was. I hope that motivation finds me.

I'm so grateful for all of you. For the first time in a really long time I feel like I'm surrounded by actual friends and it makes me feel really incredible. So thanks for the bonfires and the baseball games and the blended drinks and the dinners out. I needed them.

I made a baseball card template. If we actually follow through with making t-shirts, I really think we should get everyone to pose with the bat and I'll print up a few sets of these. There won't be a whole set for everyone though, because then there's no sense in trading them. The look of this will probably change though, because according to everyone at dinner the other night, baseball cards are numbered or something. I don't know; I was bored.
I'm at the Wixom Library and that's weird, right? I'm working on stuff for my online summer class: People and the Environment. It's not as glamourous as it sounds though, trust me. It's basically a geology class minus looking at cool rocks in person.
I feel really sick right now. Like, pretty much like my head is going to explode at any moment. I can't breathe through my nose and my eyes are all watery. Maybe it's just my mind playing games with me though because I spent all yesterday at a hospital. I also think that maybe my septum is what's making it hard to breathe. Laura or Cori:
Any idea if that's plausible?
I have to work at 4. Plato's tires me out. Home tires me out too. I'm so incredibly uncomfortable there. I feel like I live in a museum now that they're thinking about selling the house. "Don't touch that." "Don't open the windows." "Stay out of that room." I really want to not stay there anymore but I really can't think of any other options.
Yep, that's it.

The first summer storm is brewin' outside and I am soo excited about it.
I'm really glad that I came home for the weekend. I decided that the HMC should just move to Lansing instead of ever breaking up and moving on. I mean, we already have Cori, Sean, myself, Crystal, new-arrival Emily, and soon-to-migrate Bubba. Jenny said she wants to move here eventually for school too, which means we'll get Ryan Thomas Muglia as well, so it only makes sense to have everyone follow, right? And hey, if there are any Ashton fans still out there, I'm pretty sure we could bring him back if it'd help the cause.
Who's up for a trip to the beach in a few weeks? There's a nice (free) little beach in Walled Lake that Sean and I have gone to, so I figured we could do a picnic there or something and get ice cream.
I'm not as stressed out for finals as I should be. I'm pretty much only worried about my film paper on The Motorcycle Diaries, because apparently I'm terrible at writing about movies and mise en scène. I'm taking a class where I learn about fish and women next year, and hopefully a drawing/painting/collage-making class. I painted a picture of a panda last night, which I'm pretty happy with.
I found a ton of delicious vegan recipes and I'm going to make them for everyone.

I've decided that I'm going to start making t-shirts again when I come home for the summer. I imagine that it will be at least moderately therapeutic while I'm living there again. I'm going to try and get pictures from past t-shirts that I've made up tomorrow or so, but for people that regularly see Sean, I am responsible for his Shellac shirt and for his Explosions in the Sky shirt. So, if you're interested at all in me making you something, let me know, I'll probably do it for free. Let me know, otherwise I'll probably just start making them without request and you won't like them as much.

So, I'm thinking of taking out my septum ring. I still like it, and it's only a few months old, but so many people have it now that it's not even an interesting facial characteristic anymore.
Someone should give me their thoughts to sway me one way or the other. Anyone?

I am completely ready for the last few (and the next few) days to be over and in the past.
On the contrary, the [majority of the] show was nice. I like seeing everyone and I'm excited come home for the summer for baseball and swimming and Wii and charades. I might be working at a bakery in Wixom which is pretty cool. It'd be even cooler if I liked it so much that I could drop out of school and move in with Sean and make cookies and cakes all the time.
I'm really dreading the inevitable phone call from my parents regarding Harlee's status. A part of me just wants it to be over so I can stop feeling awful and begin to accept it, but the other part is praying that this will all go away and she'll be around all summer to greet me every time I come home.
Plus, I have a four page paper do tomorrow on the movie that I talked about, and I can't find it to rent at any video stores around here, and the reserved copy at the library is checked out until 6:30. It was already going to be hard enough to concentrate; I really wanted to get this done early so I could play around with tattoo designs.

Yesterday I had a cold peanut-butter & jelly sandwich and it made me feel fantastic. It brought back every picnic I've ever been on, with a cooler packed full and the fear of bees landing on your pop cans. I hope that in addition to baseball this summer we start making sandwiches for everyone and bringing blankets and towels and juice boxes.
I watched the swedish film Tillsammans ( English title Together ) yesterday as well. It's about people living in a commune in Sweden in 1975, and the way each of them change and grow and improve as people come and go. It focuses a lot on the idea that loneliness is bad and togetherness is good, and I'm not entirely sure how I feel about that, but I know that I want to watch it again. So at this point, I'm going to say that I reccommend it.
I'll be home this weekend looking for a job and going to the show at The Mug-Shot . I hope that someone there will make me a 50/50 still even though I don't think I'm allowed to order that anymore. Also, if anyone knows where I can find an easy, relatively bearable summer job that might involve good pay, art, baking, or good discounts on things that I'd like to buy, I would be grateful for any information.

I made this so that I'm not out of the loop in the world of livejournal news and photos .
I may write in this. If I don't it's because I'm writing here.
