| Yikes stripes! I'm so glad you made it out ok, even though that wasn't the plan. There's life after death attempts. |
| from avox : |
| Boring? If boring means "holy shit this one's super funny", or... or if boring means "what a witty witty individual", or... Well, you get the point. Needless to say, you are far from the conventional meaning of boring. |
| from blacksheet : |
| I work retail pharmacy and I am seeing the same thing at my store, except we also have numerous people trying to get a hold of antivirals (rx only).. many have even convinced their doctors to write them a prescription, just in case..It is complete insanity. |
| from sugar-pain : |
| Ha ha! *stands up and applauds* Being a fellow retail slave, I must acknowledge that beautiful speech. Here's to the retards that allow themselves to be controlled by media. May they choke on their TV remotes... |
| from dullstar : |
| Was it from anyone worthy? |
| from dullstar : |
| Your punchlines are fantastic. |
| from larrielou : |
| ... I'm not the only one??! Except I still wear my underpants (no bra). I'm sure I give my neighbours many happy moments in time. When I see them on the street (clothed), they always wave a little too vigorously. The downside is, I think Brian is completely used to my boobs. I don't think he even notices them anymore. But, yeah. I'd hate having to wear clothes at home. It's great about being able to eat, though. As for the curtains, you won't need them anymore, since you'll be wearing said clothes :-S |
| from seducible : |
| we will have themed flags one day. just you wait and see. |
| from imaginated : |
| Hey Lady. It's been an awful long time. I'd love to hear what you're up to these days. You can find me with this same username at gmail. Hope to hear from you soon. -Dee |
| from dullstar : |
| Did you take that picture of the ocean? It's incredible. |
| from dullstar : |
| Bad. Ass. |
| from larrielou : |
| Thank you for the mug shot of Satan. I know who/what I'm looking for at work when everything turns to shit now. |
| from dullstar : |
| The no-grocery-shopping diet is the best diet. Food kitchens exist for people in your situation, should you decide you've lost enough weight. You can find some great, healthful stuff. |
| from raven72d : |
| I just found you... Great writing. |
| from fruitbat20 : |
| your guestbook link doesn't work!... but you probably know that. hurrah for change. i combed my dreads out today. but for the right reasons this time. peace! |
| from rhetoric : |
| one day, when i do not know, it will pass. until then, find semi-healthy catharsis. eventually the tide will turn. keep treading until then. |
| from hcatty : |
| yowza. keep treading, girl. |
| from screw-4am : |
| wow...this feels like your first job. (eyes rolling in the back of my head) "whats i gunna do?" |
| from seducible : |
| weird that you updated this recently as I updated mine a while ago without knowing why and then needed to search for something in this diary since I wrote in it ALL THE TIME for so long... but seriously--the title clerk at the dealership came back into the office from the bathroom laughing hysterically and goes "LOOK!" and she was wearing two different shoes! it was freaking hysterical because it was nearing the end of her day!! so she'd gone 8 hours without realizing it... |
| from larrielou : |
| You're ok!!! I have thought of you often over the past couple of years (I'm serious! And not in a creepy way, just "I hope she's doing ok") That's great news about the boy. Do you still do your photography? I was/am always so jealous of your work. Oh, and your Dad? How is he? What's your email address so I can ask lots more questions :-) ? |
| from littledjblue : |
| hey. i haven't talked to you in a while. i'm not using my givluv email anymore and i don't have the energy to search for your email address on there so i just figured i'd be lazy and leave you a note to let you know i'm thinking of you. because i am. take care. |
| from larrielou : |
| What's going on? I'm worried about you. |
| from frittata-f : |
| Seriously? Shedding pubes? Classic. |
| from dullstar : |
| oh, thanks for asking! my dad's fine...it was a benign tumor and the doctors were more nervous about it than he was, although apparently a new lump has developed near the scar. |
| from hcatty : |
| LOL I get your point. And I do love the quizzies... misreading them kills me every time. |
| from hcatty : |
| Yep, I was gonna say what dullstar said. Also, (don't hit me), the hindi question was, "What is the LEAST widely spoken language"... again... don't hit me? |
| from dullstar : |
| re: nickels vs. dimes (and i had to think about this and was proud of myself, so i'm not trying to rub it in your face or anything)...dimes are smaller than nickels, so they would take up less space. |
| from frittata-f : |
| Wow. Their human resources department must be staffed with geniuses. How are you after moving back? ~~Blanche |
| from taliana1 : |
| wow...a microcomputer with typewriter attachment???? I'd say they need to update their job posting. That's ridiculous! |
| from mireillie : |
| um, where are you now? I will be morphing into fritatta-f dot dland, misspelling intentional, anyday now. Really. |
| from lilpeanut80 : |
| hello....is this thing on? I was glad to get a little sentance of an update from you. When I saw on my buddy list I was like OOOOoooOO! I also saw that you changed your bio section. It was my favorite. I guess I need a new favorite. Keep on keepin' on. |
| from littledjblue : |
| remember that time.. we went to dinner.. and the waiter (when he was actually around and not avoiding us) TOTALLY STARED AT YOU THE ENTIRE TIME? |
| from iheart2rock : |
| your diary is amazing! i read all the way back to the entry where you made the "barrette specialist" remark and couldn't stop laughing. nice job! |
| from biodtl : |
| Congrats on the move - I hope things are going well. And by February, you will probably be as sick of all the "frozen" as the rest of us East Coasters! |
| from kissmyargyle : |
| dearest bethany: you're gonna love it, i just know it. [i hope tomorrow doesn't suck for you as bad as i'm sure it probably will.] see you soon!!! <3:keri |
| from lilpeanut80 : |
| our state has a new "do not call list". No one can solicit you. I signed up and will be on the list until 2014. woohoo! |
| from hcatty : |
| Your pictures are always so awesome. |
| from seducible : |
| Snow is better than you might think. Will you be swinging by Gary, Indiana? You should. Because I'm awesome. |
| from kiss-a-frog : |
| YAY! SOMEONE NEW TO MAKE SCARVES FOR! |
| from seducible : |
| Oooh, the first two photos remind me of my room because it's like sleeping inside of a pumpkin. Looove it. Take more pictures when you have more time. I like pictures. |
| from seducible : |
| Um. Who uses barrettes anymore? Was she a homeschooler? |
| from imaginated : |
| I am in awe of the way in which you are able to stand up for what you believe and speak your mind while doing it in such a way that you not personally attacking anyone, but still proving that they are absolutely dumb. You are my hero. |
| from jamita : |
| you have the most unique experiences of anyone I know. |
| from seducible : |
| That is one of the coolest things I've read in a long time. |
| from finalscore : |
| you are great. |
| from imaginated : |
| I'm uber jealous. Next year I should take you on a tour of Toronto :) |
| from kissmyargyle : |
| i miss you, bethany. <3 |
| from finalscore : |
| you'll be with him again. |
| from asdotcom : |
| That was your 700th entry. |
| from asdotcom : |
| I don't feel like I know your shoes well enough to comment on any other aspect of your entry, but I do feel like I need to point one thing out. You've never gone through something without God. Ever. You may have igored Him and treated Him like He wasn't there... but He was. He has been most faithful, friend. And will continue to be so. |
| from cruda : |
| i was so captivated by this, i read and i read until i realize i got to your may entries! and let me tell you dear, that isn't usual. quite entertaining and crude and real. my kind of diary. |
| from kissmyargyle : |
| that is fantastic. i can not wait. would you like anything special waiting for you when you get here? a cake? fireworks? a pinata? |
| from kissmyargyle : |
| it's like we're frickin twins or somethin! but for realz though, bethany, when are you gonna come visit me? [because i miss you. ..& also, my cuddle parties are just not the same without you.] |
| from sh0rty143 : |
| go bethany!! i need to learn how to say things like that to my employers. |
| from asdotcom : |
| I think the color on your camera might be broken. Might want to look into that. Kisses. |
| from jamita : |
| that was the most beautiful thing i've seen all weekend. |
| from sh0rty143 : |
| i forgot to mention it before, but i really like the dark hair. b-e-a-utiful!! |
| from imaginated : |
| don't listen to them. You're the special-est kid I know ;) |
| from seducible : |
| I wish I had a car to put a bumper sticker on... Or how to drive said car. I have mixed feelings about the Canon A95. My sister got one and I've used it a few times (er, more than she has, I think) but either I'm way too critical and spoiled with the dSLR...or something, because the noise levels are high, the colors are a bit faded (though my Canon was the same), and I despise purple fringing (a pet peeve when I used my Canon). Plus it's too slow, I'm used to a really fast camera, and I've gotten out of the skill of taking a picture before the actual picture opportunity because of the shutter lag. Anyway...prove me wrong and take amazing pictures and show them off. |
| from seducible : |
| I want to steal your eyebrows. |
| from jamita : |
| i'd vote hot, fo sure. |
| from seducible : |
| What did you buy, what did you buy, what did you buy???? |
| from seducible : |
| I can't recall how he talks in that movie, since I've only seen about two minutes of it. |
| from mireillie : |
| Heh. I also am dastardly pale, but mostly because I use home glycolic acid peels and microdermabrasion, and thus have to maintain my paleness. "I will be licked no more, wench!"---indeed. |
| from sh0rty143 : |
| friends who are married and don't tell you suck. i'm sorry you had such a bad day.. it will get better. i pinky promise. |
| from seducible : |
| That's one of the best reasons I've ever heard to learn Spanish... |
| from seducible : |
| I wish I remembered what it said on the bathroom stall at Round the Clock, but one night someone (a GIRL! gasp!) had written on the wall in poop. I was disgusted. What's worse is that I leaned in "just to make sure" and realized that I was A COMPLETE IDIOT. Luckily I didn't touch it. |
| from luxlust : |

| from luxlust : |
| Totally normal! Screw everyone, you are probably just pissed because humans suck ass, i know i am! |
| from anothermatch : |
| I'm flattered that you want to keep reading. Well, this is my new diary. Have at it! :D |
| from seducible : |
| Yeah, I know the feeling of people (who you don't even know) just touching your hair and petting it and holding onto it while they talk to you.... hasn't happened in a while for me because I never leave my hair down, and that's probably why I keep it up! |
| from kissmyargyle : |
| haha. that's funny. by 9 o'clock this morning i had hid out in the bathroom twice, gotten 2 glasses of water, and let voicemail answer every one of my phone calls. |
| from ataraxy : |
| Yes, of course I'm from California. The Bay Area at that. Where everything is ridiculously over-priced. But alas, it's worth it. I live in a city where the motto is "climate best by government test." How can you really beat that? |
| from imaginated : |
| That is freakin awesome! I would have waited until he bought the ticket though... just for fun ;) |
| from ataraxy : |
| $2.03??? You pay $2.03 a gallon for gas? Oh, I envy you. I haven't paid $2.03 for gas in at least 8 months. So lucky. I just paid $2.85 a week ago, and that was after it had gone down a bit. |
| from luxlust : |
| You were raised a mormon right? Me too, oh well. (i.e, the song, or is that an ordinary church song?) |
| from seducible : |
| I thought I was the only one who liked old rich guys. You and I are two of a kind. |
| from littledjblue : |
| Guess Who was good, yes, better than expected. Although I think I may have liked Fever Pitch even more, despite my incredible dislike-ness(word?) for Drew Barrymore. I want to see A Lot Like Love when it comes out, just because. I sure am on a going-to-the-movies kick. Also, I hope you write more about this boy who wants to flirt with you. |
| from imaginated : |
| Pharmacy guy sounds hot. You should marry him. Right now. For my sake... because I live vicariously through you. :oD |
| from littledjblue : |
| two weeks inbetween an update is much too long. |
| from finalscore : |
| that's a bit crazy. |
| from finalscore : |
| that, was completely hilarious in a quiet "it is in fact so funny to me i don't need to laugh" way. i got your card, and i thank you. i was going to try and not mention it in diaryland so i could surprise you with one too but then i realized i don't have any cards and i need to get some. :] |
| from seducible : |
| Richard Gere...yeah, he was hot in "First Knight"...not so much anymore. Especially with his Buddhist crap. |
| from kiss-a-frog : |
| Dear Bethany: Don't feel bad. In fact, I congratulate you. Love, Mich. |
| from seducible : |
| "Cootie Depot"....Never have I seen those two words put together. |
| from seducible : |
| Dude...my mom just informed me that Marvin, the bird, was eating the cat food, while Omaha watched him! WTF is going on in this house!??!?! RYN: Is that a good or a bad thing that he looks like a person you worked with? |
| from raisinet : |
| i think it is very interesting and wonderful that we can be so different and yet so alike. --adrianne. |
| from damnillusion : |
| Happy birthday to you too. |
| from seducible : |
| ::virtual hug:: |
| from asdotcom : |
| Speaking of plane tickets... you need to look into one with a destination reading "BWI". Soon. For realz. I mean it. FREAKING DO IT ALREADY! |
| from kissmyargyle : |
| yeah, it's pretty sweet. ..i'm tellin ya, they're still hiring. ;o) |
| from seducible : |
| Oh, just wait until the after Christmas sales! Then you'll REALLY love it. I'm glad you haven't had a terrible experience and that you're enjoying yourself. Who wouldn't for that much money an hour? I know I would... :) Whereas I make $50 a week for 16 hours of work. Woo hoo! |
| from kissmyargyle : |
| bethany! i am so completely happy for you! for realz! |
| from m-antoinette : |
| hi... odd question for you: are you well versed in the workings of black and white darkroom? i have some issues... with my prints... if you think you can help leave me a note! thanks :) |
| from finalscore : |
| heya bethany, i'd love to send you another card this year, but i can't find your address anywhere. can you email me with it? ioveender@ yahoo.ie. thanks!! :] happy late thanksgiving, as well. |
| from imaginated : |
| you should so put that on the resume. (the good teeth part, not the other part). And if that doesn't work, I'll come down there, kick some but and we'll run away and start our own Mountainous Island Colony... and Shaun can come too. |
| from sh0rty143 : |
| thanks so much. :) of course i can count on you to remember the date.. i believe you like it more than i do. ;) and it was a terrific 19th birthday. getting so old, i know. hope you're doing well. |
| from littledjblue : |
| I wish I could email you, but this blasted language lab will not let me log into AOL. Anyway, I miss actually talking talking to you. I feel like I haven't talked to you since I saw you in July. And, I'm very jealous of all your Christmas-e things. |
| from spritopias : |
| you raised beef? wow. I forgot what I was going to say. Thanks for your comment! |
| from seducible : |
| Sigh, I wish I had had it in me to make cinnamon rolls tonight. But the effort didn't seem worth it. One of these days I'm going to make cinnamon rolls, gosh darnit! ... I've never made candles, but I've always wanted to. What do you want for Christmas, and be serious. No requests for world peace, because that's crap. |
| from imaginated : |
| Dude, I am so coming to your house for dinner... then we are going to run away. |
| from fionnen : |
| Hello... i am sorry to disturb, but i sincerely would like you to read my diary. There's just the one entry, so it's not much. But it says a lot. http://fionnen.diaryland.com/ |
| from seducible : |
| I don't do eggnog, but dear God I drank a bottle of sparkling grape juice the other day and an entire bag of M&Ms... |
| from imaginated : |
| Is Chad your 'other' latin lover? ;) |
| from imaginated : |
| We may not be the exact same person, but we could be twins, who were separated at birth, who look nothing alike... kind of like, people who think the same. Whoa, that's trippy. |
| from heartsphotos : |
| Hello there, I was wondering if you would like to join my new journal clique for photography. If you would, please check out http://heartsphotos.diaryland.com and then email me. I will give you the password. Thank you very much. A fellow photographer, Kira (Silver Wolfhawke) |
| from larrielou : |
| That's great. I used to write letters and bury them in glass bottles. Imagining them being read in 200 years time. Might do that again some day soon. |
| from imaginated : |
| He was right. That was awesome! |
| from raisinet : |
| the language in your october 13th entry is CRUDE. guess what my gramma says? "oh, D-A-M-N!" |
| from finalscore : |
| i hope you feel better soon, really. |
| from seducible : |
| "in contrast, i also applied at the Hoity-Toity Hotel, where their days most certainly do not center on bull castration..." Don't be so sure about the castration thing. Why is it that I would like being a hotel maid? |
| from imaginated : |
| Someday when I'm rich I will hire you to visit me and tell me stories... and also explain american politics to me. And now you have that in writing. |
| from seducible : |
| I was reading Sean's diary and the comment that he posted that you said...about a higher minimum wage...and basically what you said was exactly what I said tonight while watching the debates. My mom added, "And the companies will just fire more people to make up for the higher wages!" Doesn't anyone realize that a higher minimum wages equals the rise in cost of EVERYTHING? So nothing good comes of it, just a larger price tag, but the same struggling to obtain material wealth. AKA where we are right now...and always have been, and always will be! YAY for shallow America! ... and why the heck did President Bush and Sen. Kerry where the same tie? I actually screamed when I saw it. |
| from dialzero : |
| Did you change your font or am I freakin out? |
| from kiss-a-frog : |
| Dear Bethany, I hope that by "petland nazi woman", you are not talking about me. I hope you are referencing a franchisee in your own native land, and not hoping that my store closes. It would be sad, because then I wouldn't have a job anymore. Love, Michelle |
| from taliana1 : |
| While you see it as him trying to hold both opinions at once, I see it as not forcing his moral beliefs on others. The court has said abortion is not murder, and to me, an embryo is not a viable life. That's my personal belief, and I wouldn't dream of forcing my personal belief on another. I appreciate when others treat me with the same respect. I hear what you are saying but don't see it the same way. And I brought up the flip flop aspect not in response to what you wrote specifically. It was just an argument ppl frequently use. FYI, I'm not all that happy with either of my choices for president, so I'm not defending Kerry b/c I love the guy. Just appreciate the fact that a politician isn't forcing his/her personal moral beliefs down my throat. Thanks for the discussion :) |
| from taliana1 : |
| Maybe it's because I don't believe abortion to be murder and fight for my right to choose, but no, it doesn't bother me that he believes abortion to be murder but doesn't press his religious and moral beliefs on the rest of us. And regarding this issue of flip flopping--are we not allowed to change our mind when presented with new information? Have you never felt one way, but later came to see it as a mistake? At first, I hated that Bush "won" the election. Then after 9/11, I was glad and thought he was doing an excellent job. After we attacked Iraq, he changed my mind again. I think we all reserve the right to change our minds when presented with new evidence. At least he has the guts to do so, instead of staying with a course that is wrong. |
| from dullstar : |
| Yay! This makes me happy too! |
| from littledjblue : |
| If you come live near me I promise to find you a job. In fact, if you can attain your pool operator's license + experience in that field, I can get you a full time job paying $36k a year. |
| from taliana1 : |
| I'm personally glad Kerry chooses not to press his moral values on me. |
| from asdotcom : |
| Doesn't that make you a good candidate for President? |
| from littledjblue : |
| Bethany, have you been to scaryjohnkerry.com? The flip flop one made me laugh out loud, a lot, while I was sitting in language lab today. It is now one of my favorite web sites, ever. I love it. And if you have been there, why did you not share it with me? Tsk, tsk. Did I mention I got a Bush/Cheney '04 shirt? I didn't even know they had those in Maryland! Not in MoCo, anyway, for sure. |
| from hcatty : |
| Lllloooooollllll That's awesome... my sister would love you. If you're republican lol me, I don't care either way - but she's die-hard GOP. |
| from seducible : |
| "two, you have no idea how many campaign signs i have." ROFL! Is it because they're Republican signs? And how many signs DO you have? |
| from seducible : |
| Listen to Kelly Clarkson's "Breakaway." It's Anna, Amy, and my song...and very much yours. I think you could relate to it. Anna posted the lyrics in her xanga. http://www.xanga.com/annzas |
| from finalscore : |
| haha, sometimes the fumes of democracy can be much too fierce. i was told a few days ago that i have no morals or values because i choose to be liberal. in another note, they sell glue for 19 cents? that's pretty amazing. |
| from seducible : |
| Yes, but can you trust glue that is only $.19? |
| from seducible : |
| Oh, my parents want me to register, since I'd vote the way they do. The problem is I have no piece of "official" mail that states my new address. i.e. I'm screwed. I did order pictures yesterday (WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG) so hopefully I'll get the envelope with my name and address on it....lol....grills.... |
| from asdotcom : |
| Glue is $.19 at Target. |
| from littledjblue : |
| dear beth, please send me a full report of trip, including everysingledetail. xoxo, dj. |
| from momenchance : |
| Good questions. I find hope in the idea that one can do whatever one wishes, and yet some people choose to do things that help others, or things that help make their communities better places, stuff like that. The way I see the question of where meaning comes from in life...well, life doesn't have one set meaning, to me. Everyone's life is different, and everyone has to find their own meaning. Trying to find a meaning in your life will give it meaning. If you want your life to matter, you'll make it matter in whatever way you can. Everyone has to do that for themselves though. We shouldn't be told to behave in certain ways or face certain consequences. We should do what we feel is right for us, and if that involves following a system of behaviors and consequences, all right. But if not, we should be able to find out what's right for us. I guess I could've said "there are no predetermined consequences" or something like that. We believe in what we believe in, and make our own consequences, and cause our lives to mean what we want them to mean. This is what I believe, of course, so it's not necessarily true for everyone. Probably sounds vague or spacey, but it's tough to pinpoint the meaning of life in one smallish text box. :-) |
| from seducible : |
| You call that an excuse? That would be like me traveling allllll the wayyyyy to Texas and not visiting you! One evening in Chicago proper...there's fifteen minutes between my house and the heart of downtown...You're fired! |
| from finalscore : |
| yay i'm glad you had fun! and will continue to in kenya. :] |
| from asdotcom : |
| Dear Bethany, You DO suck. Not for any reason other than I wanted to jump on the bandwagon, though. Love Always, -AS! |
| from seducible : |
| Dear Bethany, you suck. And maybe, in my snit, I shall not send you the four CDs containing Frank Sinatra's reprise collection because you were in Chicago and DIDN'T VISIT ME. The End. |
| from ihearthockey : |
| dear bethany. your post-it effing made my day, for realz. :o) ..also, i'm sorry i'm too stupid to remember to take the cd that is supposed to be yours out of my car so that you could take it home. ..ugh! i'm such an IDIOT! <3 keri ps- i already miss you so bad, like woah. |
| from finalscore : |
| thank you for the note about my cat, you did indeed say all the right words. she is home now, her broken ribs are healing on their own. she's even jumping onto desks and sometimes running / walking quickly when she hears the sound of a can opening. she's my little trooper. but -- thanks, really. |
| from seducible : |
| Oh, and one of my new favorite Olympic events is the women's trampoline. Wow those white chicks get some height going! You like the Olympics, right? Well, we should go to Beijing. We'll be old enough to drink by then. ;) |
| from seducible : |
| LOL, asdotcom's note was funny. I am sooo tired! I actually danced and partied and got funky. Though that makes me uncool, saying that. Whateva! Hope you're having a good time. Believe it or not, many years ago I thought Kansas was better than Nebraska. What was I thinking???? (because Nebraska is obviously better... ;) |
| from ihearthockey : |
| is it a jew or a tampon? |
| from asdotcom : |
| Bethany, I have never noted you before while I was looking at you. I thought I would break that trend. |
| from seducible : |
| Grr! I wish I lived in the country. Wait...I sort of will. But that doesn't make up for 18 years of living in the city where the lights and pollution completely obscure the sky. I envy your star gazing. And oddly enough, I don't think I've ever watched the opening ceremony (or closing) for the Olympics. The first time I even bothered watching them or really knew about them was 1996. They carried the torch right down Ewing Ave, and I was standing on the sidewalk. We even have pictures. Somewhere. |
| from littledjblue : |
| Hope you have an awesome time on the roadtrip ! |
| from seducible : |
| I'm glad I don't have a Chicago accent. (not really, I wish I had any accent at all. In reality I don't have one. Not unless I go to Nebraska and come back speaking lazily and with a twang.) |
| from finalscore : |
| ahh, peppermint tea is also my favourite! i drink it all the time, it's wonderful. one time i went to the factory that makes the tea -- celeste, i think? -- and my dad had a cold. he walked into the peppermint tea room, and walked out without a cold, haha. it was really strong. :] |
| from taliana1 : |
| Peppermint tea is the best! I love it hot, but it's great cold too. Yummy :) |
| from seducible : |
| It's been extremely temperate here as well. Usually it's so freaking humid and hot people want to jump into the lake and die. This summer...has been more like autumn. And I love it. Except when I want to get into the pool. I think we had the A/C on a total of maybe a week, off and on. Ridiculous. Don't you love how global warming is going to cause the next ice age? |
| from rubysoho15 : |
| oh its been very very cold here, one night it went down to ten celcius. i have to wear sweaters outside...IN AUGUST. its ridiculous |
| from asdotcom : |
| Yes, but /where/ did you find them? |
| from seducible : |
| Oh, definitely CCR. Totally agree. And The Guess Who. Though they're "modern" Coldplay rocks (both new CDs) and David Gray is great driving music, Joni Mitchell (not modern), Carly Simon, Elton John, the new Switchfoot CD...oh! Newsboys! "Take Me To Your Leader" is the best. Want me to burn you some CDs? I've got most of what I mentioned. |
| from opusshrugged : |
| "Fujiama Mama" - Wanda Jackson |
| from drunklazy : |
| 'Then I kissed her' - Beach Boys |
| from hcatty : |
| you done gone and made me drag out my CD collection! Otay, you'd need some Sam Cook, some Fats Dominoe, CCR, The Guess Who, the Ronnettes, Wilson Pickett, the Temptations, Barrett Strong, Bill Withers.... Ok. I have GOT to put on some music! |
| from rubysoho15 : |
| Sublime, The Andrews Sisters, Buddy Holly, The Platters. The first is from the 90's but is awesome and the latter three seem right in your time period. |
| from hcatty : |
| Let's seeeeeee.... you have the same taste in music as I do, so, you'd probably bring some Stevie Wonder pre-80's, some Platters, some Monkeys, some Big Bopper.... Hm. I'd go for Apple Peaches Pumpkin Pie - Jay & The Techniques, Mrs. Brown You've got a Lovely Daughter - Herman's Hermits, Duke of Earl - Gene Chandler, Dizzy- Tommy Roe... Otay, ya know what? Here. Here's the Top 500 that I think you'd take. Maybe not all of them, but that's a pretty good list. http://www.kluv.com/Top500.shtml |
| from seducible : |
| I can completely relate to the inner pioneer, as well. Reading by candlelight/lamplight (writing as well) makes me feel like I'm in a cabin in the middle of the Great Plains while my much older husband helps the U.S. Calvary (you know, those cute ones with the yellow bandanas around their necks and the handlebar mustaches and collar-length hair and white gloves?) kill those durn Injuns....TMI again? |
| from seducible : |
| Wow. And I thought I heard it all. You know, stop signs with the white around the edge being optional? But Einstein as president? Hrm. And he wasn't even American. And I just found the coolest [word] in the dictionary. "Eilean Siar, Comhairle nan"...a council area in Outer Hebrides, western Scotland. I think I shall name my first born that. |
| from raisinet : |
| my my, you are so very amusing. and youre the same age as me, which pleases me very much, as there are not enough awesome 18 year olds. |
| from raisinet : |
| it looks as though you like parenthesis just as much, if not more than, me. for this, i salute you. |
| from markybob00 : |
| http://www.markybob.com/?q=node/view/197 i posted that in your honor. |
| from seducible : |
| I hate to be TMI myself, but I'm regular without being regular (makes sense, right? basically "it" (and I hate talking about menstruation) always starts on the twelfth but not every month...shut up, Rebekah.) I console. Doctors + me = None doing. |
| from imaginated : |
| Well then, you shall just have to come visit me, and we shall travel to Newfoundland, and there will be Pirates A Plenty! HOORAY! Pirates for EVERYONE! |
| from seducible : |
| I can't offer solace regarding the camera not focusing because it sucks like nothing else. Is it going to get repaired again? You would think that if you shell out more than a hundred bucks things should work, wouldn't you? I really, really hope it DOES start to work and you can take pictures until your arm is sore and your finger won't stop twitching to press down the shutter button and your eyes cross from looking through the viewfinder (or LCD). |
| from imaginated : |
| You're going to africa?! That's the coolest thing I've ever heard! |
| from littledjblue : |
| Your mom found your diary? ..what happened? |
| from seducible : |
| You know I'll be praying for you before, during, and after your trip to Kenya. I hope it's an amazing experience for you. I'd love to go :) |
| from seducible : |
| that previous noter aside, I was about to say that that sounded like something Hoosiers would do. I can say that because I'm technically a Hoosier (born in downtown Hammond, yo) and will soon be living there. I'm pretty much "coming home", as it were. I won't get a mullet, though. I draw the line. I still don't know why we're called Hoosiers. Then again, Indianan is just a freaking mouthful of syllables even a drunk couldn't say. |
| from amandabean : |
| i swear most of us from indiana aren't that bad. i swear it. |
| from seducible : |
| My "stylist" has always been my aunt. I've had my hair cut by someone else's aunt once in my entire life. I wouldn't mind going to a salon, I'm just too cheap. Thank you, though. Means a lot that you like them. If I don't mess them up like in the pictures, they do look a bit Amish. And it really isn't anyone's (especially Rachel's) business if I get bangs. She just likes to bring people down, is all. |
| from opusshrugged : |
| i've added you to my favorites list after forgetting to do so for a few months, i was reading your latest entry & a smile broke out on my face & i had to ask myself why i hadn't yet added you. anyhow, i hope it's okay & if not please let me know ;) |
| from seducible : |
| "steel antelope"! LOL. I laughed so hard last night when I read that. Hilarious. And oh do I know exactly what you're talking about. We only have self-checkout at K-Mart. A year or so ago I was buying something and this impatient man was behind me and scanned his freaking knit hit whilst I was STILL SCANNING MY ITEMS and I had to get an employee to take his stupid hat off of my ticket. I was not happy. The man appeared high or drunk or both. Jerk. :) |
| from seducible : |
| The poetry in motion you liked? Well, it was true, as well. It was such an odd thing to notice, since I was in the passenger seat of my pastor's car coming home. I think it was the flash of red that caught my eye...and it seemed to surreal. Whenever I look at things I phrase them like poetry (at least my kind of poetry) in my mind so I can write it down later. Thank You. |
| from imaginated : |
| That's an incredible photo. I'm not suprised. You are an incredible type person. Hooray for YOU! |
| from seducible : |
| I meant sunrise, not sunset. The sunrises in Iowa are pretty neat. Lots of flat land and rolling hills...not much to obscure the horizon. |
| from seducible : |
| That sounds so romantic -- driving and watching the sunset. There's nothing like that feeling when you're on vacation, you've stayed up all night. You've left Chicago and are somewhere in Nebraska when you finally start to pass out...motel rooms never look so good :) I'll be praying for your job hunt. I've never had to job hunt ... I'm sure I'll find out the woes soon enough. I hate independence. |
| from seducible : |
| I'm waiting for DL to let me post...um, yeah. My day was weird too. Though I didn't look at anyones vagina, not even my own. Go me! Whenever I watch a Baby Story on TLC, I think, "There will not be a video camera in the delivery room. I do NOT want my hoo-hah on freaking VIDEO for all the relatives to stare at. No THANK you." |
| from dialzero : |
| I can't say I've run into a lot of carnies in my life, but I'm fairly sure they would hit on me if I did. |
| from littledjblue : |
| your hair, or lack thereof, looks really nice. i like it. |
| from seducible : |
| You have a beautiful smile. There's a quote...."Never frown because you never know who is falling in love with your smile." I got a book at Christmas, a little one that has all these sayings about smiles...it's really nice. |
| from seducible : |
| Um...depends on what kind of spicy food. Like if it's flavorful and spicy, yeah. But if it's spicy just to be hot...then, no. Like some salsas are really good because it's full of flavor and yet spicy. ... But if it's like a pepper, (jalapeno or what have you) just to burn the daylights out of your tongue, I don't go for it. |
| from sh0rty143 : |
| your night sounds like it was wonderful. v8 juice rawks. :) |
| from seducible : |
| Dude (I really need to stop saying that), I was up FOREVER yesterday/last night/this morning. Until well past four, and I had been up since a quarter to nine. I slept until 2:30 today. Go me! Makes up for the sleep I lost the day before. Not for the fasting though. I hate not finding anything to eat. |
| from seducible : |
| that's seriously hilarious. "and he doesn't even have breasts!" I suppose I should be thankful for mine. When I start driving (God forbid), they should come in handy. |
| from seducible : |
| "dear youth" is pretty much how I feel. Sigh. I wrote down from an old Harlequin (circa 1970 something) a quote, 'The old days,' she sighed. 'We never realise how lucky we are when we're children and there's someone grown up to rely on.' That sums it up quite well. You honestly don't think "adults" are all that great until you become one of the beasts...and you see that you were right all along. |
| from seducible : |
| Thank you for the offer to host my pictures but apparently the website is working again...oookay. I wish I wasn't too cheap and would just get a gold membership. And belated thanks for the seed suggestions. Or did I already thank you? I can't even remember. But they're growing despite no help on my part. |
| from seducible : |
| I agree with DJ, you should update everyday, several times a day. I live for you posts. Good luck with the job. And you know that for you sweat + mopping = Hott. Shoulda given him your number ;) |
| from littledjblue : |
| it says you have not updated in 5 days. and i've decided that you should update every day. p.s. i made some yuuuuuuuuuuuuummy guacamole today. |
| from seducible : |
| Radcliffe I found searching through the dictionary years ago. I named a heroine Radcliffe. Gable was from an episode of Queer Eye, the guy's girlfriend's name was Gable...his name was Law. So cool! I love names that aren't like Ashley (unless it's for a guy) or Brittany...or Tiffany...Michelle...you get the idea. |
| from seducible : |
| I think it's [good] that we do know about his beheading, but they're of course presenting it in a sensationalist way...how his parents blame the U.S. military and yada yada...But basically, it's all Bush's fault. And I'm sick of hearing that. Not that it's going to change, or I should expect anything different...I just hate the media. Except for the Fox News network. They rock. |
| from greysketch : |
| ...This only proves how low I am on the totem pole. When I'm the only person in the world without a cell phone, and even the homeless have beat me out. Sad. I hope your cat is doing well. I lost one of my beloved cats on Valentine's Day and am still not recovered. Cats are too important to be lost. |
| from littledjblue : |
| what should i do for my 18th birthday? besides buy cigs and porn, obviously. |
| from seducible : |
| When I first went to the vet (well, when my rats went) my receipt said "Debeco" or something...instead of Rebekah. I didn't realize my handwriting was so terrible! The woman had the gall to say (when I corrected her), "Well, you have rats so I figured your name would be weird, too." !? |
| from imaginated : |
| You have an IRS agent? That is SOOOOOO COOOL!(with extra o's even). |
| from finalscore : |
| geez, i didn't even think of a cell phone. haha, i should know better. once i drove out to the beach here, and it sounded a bit funny, but i still went to walmart to get something. and while trying to leave walmart, THEN the car broke down. this was also like two days after i had gotten my license, our phone was out because they were doing repairs in the street, and we had the wrong phone number for my neighbour's house. haha :] yes, cell phones make sense for emergencies. (thank you) |
| from finalscore : |
| heyy, i hope things pick up a bit for you. and i'm really sorry about your cat -- i've lost a lot because i live in the hills, with mountain lions and all. how'd you end up getting home? ... this isn't a very consoling note, but, i still hope you feel better soon. |
| from seducible : |
| Maybe we're both "normal" because I often tune people out to the point where I can't remember what they said or what I've said in return. We have better things to think about? |
| from seducible : |
| I've been resisting the urge to dye my hair...again... I want a picture of your hair. I've seen like three pictures of you. You're weird. (no, not really) and zebra cakes are my guilty, naughty, disgustingly delicious pleasure. |
| from sh0rty143 : |
| "i've been lonely, and when i get lonely i get reclusive and withdrawn and i do things to my hair. girls are like that." so true. so very, very true. |
| from asdotcom : |
| Wow. You just described my perfect day. |
| from littledjblue : |
| don't forget to consume large quantities of mountain dew. |
| from littledjblue : |
| hi. |
| from imaginated : |
| I hope you get a camera again soon. You are really awesome. And you're a good photographer too. TO THE LIMIT! Extreme. |
| from seducible : |
| So...you don't have a digital camera? Or good camera? What happened to the one you had? I can only relate as I stood outside in the rain today waiting to be picked up from work and I wished that I had brought my beloved camera with me. The lighting and color was perfect. Vibrant yellow daffodils bloomed beneath the shimmering canopy of green-leafed tree, in grass that was the purest, deepest emerald...Descriptions like that go through my mind and I want so badly to snap a photo just so I can stare at it endlessly. Photography is just for me...people telling me a picture is good is only second best. |
| from finalscore : |
| i completely loved that last entry about photography. and just being a painter or writer no matter what your career is. :] will you be taking it up again soon? |
| from imaginated : |
| what has happened to your camera? |
| from dialzero : |
| "fury woodland creatures" |
| from seducible : |
| Too bad you've never met those two or three kids... |
| from seducible : |
| That article is seriously insane. I think the real problem here is that something like that gets published...not the fact that CARTOONS THAT ARE SO OBVIOUSLY NOT REAL are "violent". Because violence doesn't exist outside of cartoons...or it wouldn't if there were no cartoons! See, it's one vicious, disgusting cycle! |
| from littledjblue : |
| "These cartoons teach and continue to teach our children that differences are comedic material." Well, duh. Just kidding. Or am I? :cD |
| from asdotcom : |
| I'm not sure I want to live in a country where animated creatures learn to live in peace, and not push one another off cliffs or blow one another to smithereens. |
| from jamita : |
| the person that wrote that article obviously has no kids, and has never needed the mind-numbing babysitter that cartoons can be to a 3 year old climbing the walls. :o) |
| from littledjblue : |
| No idea what I'm doing for my birthday. My mom was talking about NYC, and then Jeri mentioned something about that too. No idea if either of those will really work out, though. The good news is, though, that I don't work on my birthday. :) |
| from finalscore : |
| thank you! really, thank you, for that note. i'm glad someone ... i don't know, knew what i meant. you're wonderful :] |
| from finalscore : |
| my mom was like that too! i didn't do as much political stuff as a kid, but my mom always made me form my own opinions. haha, she's still the one who gets high off political debates though. she was the political hippie, my dad was the laid back one. :] |
| from seducible : |
| WAIT? Africa? Where in Africa? Anna is going to South Africa on a missions trip. Ugh, wouldn't that suck if you guys crossed paths? Well, it's not like Africa is the size of the East Side so I'm sure the odds are against such a phenomenon. I was thinking that I should get my license and make money so I could drive out and visit you one weekend every month. You know, like go to a movie and then I can drive sixteen hours back to Gary, IN(because that's where I'd live by then). Sounds like a good plan to me! What do you say? |
| from littledjblue : |
| Africa? |
| from seducible : |
| Um...my brain shorted out after I wrote that purging of all of my woes and angst and turmoil (redundant!!!)...so I'll keep this note simple and say what I came to say: I love you, Bethany! |
| from sh0rty143 : |
| w00t!! i'll bring the kegs! :) |
| from asdotcom : |
| PARTY AT BETHANY'S! |
| from seducible : |
| These last several days I haven't really been online and if I am, then I forget whatever it was I wanted to do. But I hope you continue to feel better, I'm praying for you, and YAY! You're not coughing up blood anymore! That's one reason to break out the champagne. Or...equally suitable, bubbly beverage. Like seltzer. |
| from finalscore : |
| coughing up blood? i saw that once, in a movie. i thought if ever happened to me i'd just die on the spot. i really hope you get better though -- and don't lose your voice! haha i was pretty sick two weeks back and lost my voice for a few days. :] get well soon! |
| from squishyvan : |
| hope you start feeling better! |
| from littledjblue : |
| feel better. |
| from aleathiad : |
| sorry to hear that you are so sick. drink lots of fluids and get some sleep. get better soon. aleathia |
| from drunklazy : |
| Get well soon |
| from sh0rty143 : |
| what a disappointment.. i so badly wanted to hear about your uterus. :) |
| from littledjblue : |
| i hope your early morning was better than mine. |
| from asdotcom : |
| You need to learn how to express your inner feelings. |
| from ihearthockey : |
| thanks, bethany! |
| from liadlaith : |
| Yes, yes you are. I urge you to go hire some out RIGHT NOW. Or come back and read more of my diary : ) Whichever suits you best. |
| from seducible : |
| I woke up without a voice. I knew it was going to happen because last night I felt "icky" and my throat was itching. Yeah, so, my hair...ends...shoulder blades? If I had any...okay, so, my elbows? I was comparing pictures and was impressed about how much my hair has grown. Since I dyed it I have roots. Not that I've ever cared about that sort of thing. Just adds...character. |
| from sh0rty143 : |
| bethany, you're my hero. i'm tempted to send you a cat in the mail. you can have mine. :oD |

| Yr car has an altimeter??? |
| from asdotcom : |
| It was a brownie cake. Encased by this brownie was a Symphony bar of the Almond and Toffee persuasion. It was like eating sugar out of the jar, but man, was it wicked yummy! |
| from bharrison : |
| love your diary! if you find any drugs, let me know! |
| from finalscore : |
| i love how, in movies, everyone is freaking out because they find out about the twister at the last minute, but here, you sound so calm. |
| from sh0rty143 : |
| i know i've been noting you a lot lately, but i've had not such the best day and i'm not sure i've laughed that hard in quite a while. so, the reason i'm noting you this time is to let you know that you're a really funny person. seriously funny. the end. |
| from finalscore : |
| ah, i see what you mean. i had interpreted what you said incorrectly, although now i don't remember what it was, haha. thanks for the reply! |
| from sh0rty143 : |
| aaaaaaamen. i'll help you carry it. |
| from finalscore : |
| how's it out of style? |
| from seducible : |
| How on earth did I manage to survive twenty-four hours without DSL? Oh, quite easily. I'm only on at the moment to leave you a note and check email from yesterday...then I'll go do something productive. Like the dishes and putting together a quilt. I don't think you're defective. Think about it, you'd be finger painting and what not if you had kids of your own. I wish I was able to move out and live on my own and have kids by nineteen. That's my dream. I don't know why. It just is. |
| from jamita : |
| I appreciate your honesty. It's refreshing. |
| from aleathiad : |
| the darkness that you talk about i know well. about 10 years ago i had a terrible run of insomnia and that was all i would dream of too. maybe it is the only way one can sleep when they have insomnia (what little sleep there is to be had). i think if you have a darkness that seems human, it may be your own energy manifesting. it could be hallucinations from lack of real REM sleep or something more supernatural. i am not sure what you believe but i know what i have experienced before and i have seen the darkness move too in an angry way. i wont go into the details for fear of sounding like a nut job...learned years ago to keep my trap shut but i get where you are coming from. all my love and light..alea |
| from b-w-p : |
| Thanks for stopping by and the note! My IM username is "weatherstained" so to see a note from waterstain definitely caught my eye... |
| from seducible : |
| I wish I had any husband prospects. If I could get married right now and have a family within the next two years, you'd be looking at one happy Rebekah. But that's never going to happen because, well, my life doesn't work like that. I've been working with kids so long that I've gotten over the "What on earth would I want one of my own for?" stage and now think, "I want five of them. Or six." I wanted five a couple years ago. I guess it's just another cycle. |
| from imaginated : |
| I was wondering... and now I know ;) Thanks for Card Number 2. It really made this dreary day much better! |
| from aleathiad : |
| i was just captured by all 62 of your photographs. each of them equally touching and sincere. you have a wonderful eye for seeing precious moments in time and nature. keep looking. aleathia |
| from asdotcom : |
| FYI - /I/ go to the bank on President's Day. I really can't tell you how much I love my bank. How many people have you ever heard say /that/? |
| from seducible : |
| Yeah, here in Chicago there's a bunch of snow on the ground. It doesn't get a chance to melt, it just stays there, gets really hard...when it does melt, that's in the afternoon, then the sun goes down, it freezes again...turns to ice. Fun...or not. Snow just isn't fun if you have it all the time. Glad you got some! |
| from seducible : |
| Yeah, I like the hair color even if it really only dyed my roots. My aunt of course made snide remarks about it, but I like the paler roots, the slightly lighter color it made the rest of my hair. I keep thinking of chopping it all off. I think I'm past the point of no return, though. |
| from liadlaith : |
| Aw come on, I'm Australian, I'll forgive your JFK joke! |
| from seducible : |
| I can't find my keys. And then I see that you updated. Ah. The Middle Child. I have that wonderful distinction. Of course, unless you are one (this isn't referring to you--more like everyone in my family and my friends), you don't believe that the thing exists. Kind of like the Loch Ness Monster or the yeti. |
| from imaginated : |
| p.s. you'll always be my favorite... |
| from imaginated : |
| feel better soon |
| from littledjblue : |
| So, well.. how is the yogurt eating going? And also, when you had that dream with all of the lasagna, did you happen to think of Garfield, and how jealous he must be of you at that point? |
| from imaginated : |
| even though you're a responsible voting citizen, you're still my favorite :oP |
| from seducible : |
| no, she wasn't hurt, thankfully. At least not seriously, to my knowledge. I actually like yogurt. The custard kind, vanilla flavored. You know what really gets my goat (if I had one)? I loooved yogurt growing up. I would only get it every so often, like one or two cups at a time because they wouldn't let me get more...now they buy my sister 20 yogurts at a time. I am so deprived. |
| from sh0rty143 : |
| i had to make that entry one of my favourites. too funny.. good luck with eating all of that yogurt. :oD |
| from finalscore : |
| ihearthockey rules because she mentioned elijah wood as well! speaking of him, you could always buy porn and chocolate [ he once got drunk in a bar while filming lotr, declared he was on a quest to find porn and chocolate, yelled the quest inside a store, bought both, went home, and passed out ]. but i think ebay was a good choice. happy birthday! |
| from markybob00 : |
| we want pictures!! |
| from imaginated : |
| hungry hungry hippo's!.... oops I mean happy happy birthday!! yeah, Happy birthday! |
| from littledjblue : |
| happy birthday, birthday girl. |
| from ihearthockey : |
| you share a birthday with: elijah wood. ..as well as boy band members nick carter and joey fatone. some girls have all the luck. have a good one. |
| from finalscore : |
| you could always have a cowboy or disney princess cake and a one-digit candle, of course. :] |
| from ihearthockey : |
| that's a funny story. it made me laugh on the inside. |
| from finalscore : |
| i hope it's still a good birthday, even if the universe hates you, haha. you get to vote! -- is the 26th, 27th, or the 28th? when you wrote on the 24th that it was four days until adulthood, i got the impression it was the 28th. that's elijah wood's birthday, by the way. :] |
| from littledjblue : |
| The yoga was a no-go because I ended up half sick and babysitting all day, anyway. Yes, I babysit for my family when I'm sick. How is the hair situation going? Meaning.. do you still have all of it? I promise to send your present soon. Well, and get the rest of it. But look at it this way: at least you'll be getting more than one box from me. :cD |
| from seducible : |
| AGH! I have to get you something for your birthday! Eighteen is a big deal because we're dreading it so much. I have to get something good. If only I drove and had a "real" job...and then I wouldn't have to depend on people driving me. And RE: Rachel....I don't know how long she hopes to keep up the charade. She has to know it'll blow up in her face one of these days. I think she still assumes I'm in ignorance. I believe that's her first mistake... |
| from littledjblue : |
| i hope you feel better. your birthday present may be late, as it's seeming that the flu bug never left me. |
| from asdotcom : |
| Actually, baby aspirin is adult pain reliever. You should never give any kind of aspirin to children. As a matter of fact, you shouldn't be taking aspirin. I'm going to be severely sore at you if you die now. |
| from finalscore : |
| good job with the carbs. i figure, if i'm irish, the low carb diet goes against everything i believe in. |
| from seducible : |
| I want to see Pirates of the Caribbean. Wanted to see it in the theatre...never got around to it, of course. Is it any good? I'm going to borrow it from Anna...she has it on DVD. Well then. |
| from littledjblue : |
| i watched pirates today. i'm planning to watch out of time next. |
| from sh0rty143 : |
| orlando bloom helps me cope, too. :) |
| from squishyvan : |
| Just wanted to say that I really admire you and wish you only the best. :) |
| from seducible : |
| Of course I got an error when I tried to leave you a note. Anyway...back to what I was saying... Cliche, or is it?, but I really find reassurance in Jeremiah 29:11. It never fails to give me the hope that I need to put aside my worries for at least another day. And I really am praying for you, not just saying I am. |
| from finalscore : |
| good luck with tomorrow / today. it's okay to cry and it's okay to uncover things you laughed off. i'll still always admire you! :] seriously, i hope it turns out to be one of those days you dread and doesn't seem to be so bad by the end. |
| from seducible : |
| There are no words, and I don't want to sound in the least as if I know what you and your family are going through. That brought tears to my eyes, and I will definitely keep praying for you. Isn't it daunting to think that this is all part of a plan that was thought of before you were born? I wish I knew what God was thinking sometimes. Life would be a lot easier... |
| from seducible : |
| I know Arwen was in the book, but I can't recall there being a romance between her an Aragorn... And there are no words that I have to say about you not being in the least bit attracted to Orlando Bloom or Viggo Mortenson... |
| from seducible : |
| A nose job doesn't compare to a breast reduction. This involves cutting around the nipple (?!), cutting sections of the skin (it bleeds a lot, let me tell you), cauterizing the excess fat out, then stapling the three folds of skin that had been cut back together...and repositioning the nipple where you want it. I almost passed out watching it. Why did I, anyway? I can't even recall. |
| from littledjblue : |
| You should come here for your birthday. I can have another check in the mail by the day after you let me know. I'd go there, but unfortunately, Tuesday happens to be my first day of classes. |

| Do you ever read something and not take it in? I must have done that about your entry about snow. I realised this as I was reading your letter, and in my just-got-home-from-work haze, I thought "bugger." Thanks for your letter, by the way. Happy 2004... |
| from imaginated : |
| are you still online? |
| from seducible : |
| We have sparkling cider, I would rather have rum. No snow, I'm thankful. Gunshots...please don't come through the window. Fireworks...on TV and in the neighborhood...even though they're illegal! Happy New Year, Beth. I'm hoping this one is a good one. |
| from imaginated : |
| You are an incredible inspiration! |
| from seducible : |
| Yay! You're back! I hope you got/get my gift soon....I'm still searching for another! Happy late Christmas and Happy New Year. |
| from seducible : |
| Ugh! Where ARE you? I miss reading you! That's sounds weird...whatever, you know what I mean. Merry Christmas! |
| from mymixedtape : |
| I got your christmas card today. I just thought I'd mention it <3 |
| from littledjblue : |
| I'm still upset at the Bills for ever getting rid of Flutie. Is he still playing, though? I hadn't been following recently. He's awesome, though. Better when he was on the Bills. |
| from ihearthockey : |
| growing pains it is. ..i'll throw in a few saved by the bell's at the end, just because Mark-Paul Gosselaar is so darn cute. :o) |
| from ihearthockey : |
| ..or would you prefer saved by the bell? |
| from ihearthockey : |
| i'll bring the growing pains marathon video. you bring the snacks. |
| from seducible : |
| I'll watch TV with you. Provided that there is anything interesting on. We've had satellite for what? Three years? We have all of the channels, including the movie channels. Is there anything good on? Nope. Except "American Choppers" on the Discovery channel. As you well know, I've always had a yen for mechanics. |
| from seducible : |
| Yeah, she has a diary. For years, actually. I recalled the name a while ago...and have found out some very interesting things since. Every coin has two sides, right? I think that explains my extremely disturbing dream last night.... That Christmas gift would be the best ever. |
| from splorch : |
| Heh, that's it exactly. "Who do you think you are?" I think there's a pocket of figgy pudding resistance out there. I sense a Carol Revolution in the offing. |
| from ihearthockey : |
| thank you so much! coming from you, that means a lot. and also, i just got back from the dentist, and they had to numb me 3 times! the first two didnt take. ..what fun! |
| from finalscore : |
| did i tell you? i received your card. it made my day. so, thank you! i haven't even BOUGHT cards yet ... obviously, you are ahead of me. haha. - love, dana |
| from seducible : |
| "Ghost" is an excerpt from a story I had started to write probably more than a year ago. |
| from mymixedtape : |
| The email address in your entry doesn't seem to want to work for me...But I'd love a christmas card. Where should I email my address? <3 Marie |
| from seducible : |
| "Maybe one day we shall be glad to remember even these hardships." - Virgil |
| from finalscore : |
| i hope tomorrow listens. |
| from seducible : |
| "there's never anything complimentary said about anyone, and there's nothing that could possibly be construed as constructive in the criticism they pour out on the unsuspecting masses." That sums up Thanksgiving and Christmas for me. In a nutshell. |
| from mpeacock : |
| Thanks for the note. Your entry made me laugh and realize why I don't see much of my family anymore. I see you enjoy Pat McManus too. |
| from finalscore : |
| nope, it shouldn't last much longer. my friend, jordan, asked me to lock all of my diaries temporarily because his friend [ who doesn't know he's gay ] found diaryland through google, and i think his diary ... anyway, it's basically for the protection of him and his homosexuality. ha. until then, username: elkinko, password: jordan04. :] thanks for the note. - love, dana |
| from sh0rty143 : |
| luck! i've still got 5 days left before i'm off to my execution. i feel your pain. |
| from seducible : |
| I wear that "condemned to death" look very well. It's my "familywear". |
| from mymixedtape : |
| good luck <3 |
| from littledjblue : |
| This weekend, I'm going on a retreat, and I intend to lay out under the stars as much as possible. I did that last year. It was awesome. Everybody goes to bed early, anyway, and I know I won't be able to, so I have to find *something* to do. |
| from finalscore : |
| that's so cool about your astronomy and star knowledge. i absolutely love astronomy, and would be fascinated to find out all the stars -- i've tried for years to see everything, but there's too much light in my city and it's ALWAYS foggy. i can never get out into a clearer sky, it seems. although, i tend to always find orion's belt. it's been my favourite since i was six or so. anyway, the nightsky sounds marvelous for you tonight, i'm jealous :] - love, dana |
| from ataraxy : |
| Yes, it is my own. The picture is taken from Bobby's (perceptions.diaryland.com) gallery. Thanks, I'm very glad you like it. I'm quite fond of that photograph myself. |
| from seducible : |
| And here I am, in the city, where if it's not too cloudy from pollution, the street lights make it impossible to see more than the Big Dipper. Whenever I've gone on campouts, I'm always climbing to the highest dune to lay in the cool sand and stare at the night sky that I don't get to see more than a handful of times throughout the year. Or like at Wal-Camp, playing a game in a field, and lying in hiding just staring at stars. There was a meteor shower...of course, it was in November. 1999, actually. Maybe we saw the same meteor :) |
| from littledjblue : |
| I've had what I've wanted to get you for Christmas + your birthday in mind for a while. I told my mom, and, well, I'm still alive, so that's good news. :) |
| from asdotcom : |
| Honestly? More often than I care to admit. |
| from ataraxy : |
| At least your state is not run by the Governator. (I still prefer California to Texas though...) |
| from seducible : |
| John Denver rocks! And so does Gordon Lightfoot (currently listening to "The Way I Feel"...so sad and romantic..like me) I have yet to write an entry about my interesting day yesterday. Not that you care! Yes, I know exactly how you feel. The world is populated with the wrong kind of people. |
| from finalscore : |
| thanks for the note about my uncle, i really appreciate it. and i'm so glad your cat came back! i wish i could vote in this next election. i'm a year and some odd months from being old enough. -- by the way, i don't know if you realize it, but seeing that your diary updated always makes me happy. you have a very unique way of saying things that i admire. woohoo. - love, dana |
| from littledjblue : |
| I've had 3 year old blue cheese dressing before, and I didn't get sick. I hope you're still alive + healthy. |
| from taliana1 : |
| Can't say I've ever discovered jalapenos in my chinese food. Weird. |
| from seducible : |
| Thank God! Hope she doesn't decide to wander off again...though I'm sure you're going to keep her in sight always now? ;) |
| from squishyvan : |
| I'm so glad your cat is back! Yay! |
| from taliana1 : |
| Yay! I'm so glad your kitty found its way home. *hugs* |
| from littledjblue : |
| That comment about your teeth made me chuckle out loud. Also, I think I have discovered why I'm a dog person - if I had an outdoor cat, and it didn't come back one day, I don't know what I'd do. I get worried enough at night not being able to find where Hercules is, when I know he's definitely inside the house somewhere. But being out THERE somewhere? *That* is so much worse. I'm glad Margaret came back.. very, very glad. :) |
| from finalscore : |
| i also hope your cat comes home. i have a calico as well, they're just so beautiful. and i've lost a-many cat in my day, so i know the nervous feeling of not seeing them come in for their dinner. remember, sometimes they just decide to show up again. |
| from seducible : |
| I...don't know what to say, other than I'm praying that you find her, and that she comes back to you safely. There was nothing more important to me when I had my pets. They can sometimes mean more to you than your family in some ways. |
| from taliana1 : |
| *hugs* I hope your kitty comes home. I'll be thinking about you... |
| from seducible : |
| I was reading the entry about the Christmas cookies and thought, "I baked cookies last night for no reason and I've been listening to this one sad Christmas song..." Then I finished your entry. Now I feel numb. |
| from ihearthockey : |
| come visit me, and i will let you borrow my scarf. good times. |
| from littledjblue : |
| That's not counting my history and math books, either. Although I don't really read my math book, mostly just skim over it, to review. I do, however, read my history book, and enjoy it. I think I've read somewhere around 400 pages in it so far. It is one big book. |
| from littledjblue : |
| Speaking of reading.. I'm reading three books, not counting the Bible. One I have about 3 chapters left in, and that's the one I've been reading during math. There's another one I've read one chapter of during math, and then there's another one I read before going to bed. I'm starting to love reading. Hopefully, within two weeks, I'll be done with two of the books, and nearly done with the other. Although, the one I read before bed is long and a slower reader, so who knows. |
| from littledjblue : |
| you know, you sure have been busy recently. or at least doing an incredibly good job of pretending to be, at any rate. |
| from seducible : |
| As you may remember, I love Ari Fleischer. Does it help that I have over a 1,000 songs? They're all on CDs now, gone from the computer because it's such a piece of crap. What computer isn't a piece of crap, I ask you? Welcome back. I hope you get well! |
| from imaginated : |
| Thanks for reminding me of the whole daylight saving thing... I totally forgot! Now thanks to you, I'm feeling much more rested than I thought I was! |
| from asdotcom : |
| I know someone that will trade you some rosey colored glasses for some Nelly paraphernalia. |
| from asdotcom : |
| What's /that/ supposed to mean? |
| from bisa-pet : |
| Be forewarned, driving into Little Rock from the Conway area on I-40 is ungodly right now. Expect it to take a minimum of an hour and half, more if you are travelling during a rush hour. And it's worse on the way back. Fill your gas tank before leaving Little Rock and pack snacks! >:( |
| from dialzero : |
| Hey... I'm going to set up a /private/ entries folder where I'm going to go into more detail about the job situation. Right now I can't put the name of it on the internet. But I'll give you the password when I get that set up. Coo? |
| from asdotcom : |
| :o( I'm sorry about your very bad, no good, rotten, horrible day. Notes always cheer me up and I hope this note does the same for you. I miss you. -AS! |
| from lilpeanut80 : |
| well, when I was visiting in the summer I noticed that the tail felt different at that spot, I couldn't tell if it was a tick or something...but it was definately nobby. Yes, nobby. I guess the bone was broken there and eventually it just died and fell off. Poor bisc. :o( You don't think the name is accursed, to you? ckb |
| from seducible : |
| One word: Adorable. I miss my pets. Almost four months without them now...it feels like forever. And sometimes I actually catch myself thinking they're still alive. |
| from kristoli : |
| a bruise with feet, oh you are so right. yeah I lost my hearing for a couple of months one summer, I would probably have had more fun with it if I hadn't been miserably depressed at the time, it was bizarre mainly. I like your writing. |
| from seducible : |
| Okay, do you always have to one-up me? Your eardrum should have closed up by now. Have you gone to a doctor? I don't bother with GPs. In fact, I loathe them. I have specifically told my mother I won't see a doctor unless it's for my specific problem. i.e the ear. So I go to an otolaryngologist. He actually knows what he's doing. I had tubes in my ears, and pretty much every year I have problems. I woke up this morning with a sore throat and my ears have been bothering me today. It's all your fault. Anyway, I really hope you start to feel better, and know that I was being sarcastic in my last note. |
| from seducible : |
| Oh stop your complaining! I lost my hearing for over a week! People could be sitting a few inches away, talking to me, and I wouldn't hear a thing. I've always had ear problems. Just earlier this year I went a few days without being able to hear in one ear because I sneezed and my eardrum broke. This happens every once and a while. And then you get an infection, and then it oozes, and you walk around with cotton in your ears and you're blissfully ignorant. Not to mention those lovely drops that you put in and hurt like the dickens the first time and then it's all good. |
| from seducible : |
| In answer to your note, yes, I am sometimes "myself". Usually I just watch a dream and rarely actually am I a participant, unless of course it's one of "those" nightmares that I have quite often where I'm trapped in some kind of room/building and someone is trying to kill me. I read that everyone in the dream, though they might look like people you know, are just representations of yourself. HA! I don't believe it. Why would I kill myself? Let's not get into that. |
| from larrielou : |
| Bugger it. It probably didn't get through to my actual account and I probably accidently deleted it from the 'junk' folder. I'll look more carefully for it if you send it again :-) |
| from jamita : |
| 51 very cool things. Much enjoyed :o) |
| from larrielou : |
| Don't know if you got my guestbook entry about getting your postal address. I'd really like to send you this thing I made for you. I promise I'm not a scary psycho person. Really. |
| from littledjblue : |
| please feel better soon. and get online when i am. i haven't talked to you in forever + a day. and that, my friend, is a very long time. |
| from seducible : |
| Sigh. Just thought I'd say I loved you. I need some love. I'm passing it around. I'm upset over nothing, I suppose...No, it was something. Anyway. I like book stores. I love the smell of libraries...the dust, the paper, the glue. Ah, yes. Tomorrow I shall console myself by going to the library. I haven't read a book in over a week. HORRORS! It hasn't been done in two years. Literally. |
| from littledjblue : |
| and if you have any recommendations for more good books to read, please let me know. |
| from littledjblue : |
| i finished the phantom tollbooth, i'm wearing the blue socks, i have the chapstick in my pocket, and i'm planning to use the lotion before i leave my house. i guess what i'm trying to say is, thanks. you rock. p.s. the phantom tollbooth was awesome!! |
| from markybob00 : |
| i do, for one. whenever you have time, feel free. "bet you're just dying to see me rant about the patriot act, eh?" |
| from amandabean : |
| thanks. I kinda like filling them out. In a 'Holy shit, I can't believe I have nothing better to do' kind of way. But it gives me something to go back and read in three years when everything is different. |
| from jamita : |
| December 27th, though it gets moved farther and farther away, every time I go to the doctor. This is destined to be the longest "9 months" of my life. |
| from asdotcom : |
| Today I received my second bottle of 20. Monday I go to the ENT specialist. |
| from asdotcom : |
| I didn't think terrorism either. I suppose I'm trying to console you? What I did think was "Man, you guys suck at planning for worst case scenarios." Also, I'm currently on Percocet. |
| from jamita : |
| It's my little brothers birthday today too. He won't be voting until long after I start buying the hair color advertising "maximum grey coverage". |
| from larrielou : |
| I wanted to write a note when I read your last entry, but I didn't know what to say. So instead of writing some crappy trite, I wrote nothing. But now I'm so worried about and for you I have to say something. How is your friend? I know how easy it is to say and how pitifully annoying it is to hear, but I'm truly thinking of you and your friend heaps during the day, and hoping that everything is okay. |
| from littledjblue : |
| come back.. please !! :( |

| from ihearthockey : |
| ha ha. ..i got some blue tinted ones. and! some pink ones. fun for everyone. |
| from ihearthockey : |
| you joke, but chad + shaun + me shopping for sunglasses = the most fun i've had all week. |
| from littledjblue : |
| my room will be clean by saturday. that is the goal. that is my goal. well, you know, so my mom doesn't kill me. but still. my room is going to be clean, so that nothing will be on the floor to step on, like before. that's another thing: there WILL be a floor. that's all. i miss you. |
| from larrielou : |
| It's not crazy. Or creepy. I think of you all the time. Probably not while you're asleep - I don't believe you actually ever sleep. I can't believe that at 17 years old, you're more ... real and honest and true and brilliant and so utterly capable, than anyone I have ever known to be, or will be in their life. |
| from beagle47 : |
| thank you for thinking of me. your profile entry made me laugh! peace. |
| from seducible : |
| I have nothing really interesting to say. Which is true for 99.9% of the time. That .1% is when I say something and everyone can't stop laughing. At me. |
| from freaktard : |
| You write so well and I just enjoy your diary so much. Please keep writing and keep up the great work. What I just read was indescribable...I don't know why but it was. You rock, you're so talented and you're a great writer, and your diary rocks... |
| from asdotcom : |
| And a Happy Anniversary to YOU, oh Nightstalker of mine! |
| from squishyvan : |
| sweating to the oldies 2 is great fun! i find myself rather addicted to it :) |
| from seducible : |
| As they say, the letter is in the mail. No, that's not what they say...Whatever. Ugh, I'm sorry about your grandmother! That just...I'm sorry. Banal, yes, I know. Trite, too. But sincere. There was just a funeral this weekend for my late uncle's daughter's mother's mother. Hmm. Let's not go into details. |
| from finalscore : |
| aww, i'm terribly sorry about your grandma. my grandpa actually just died -- my mom's coming home tomorrow from the funeral [ she had to travel to ohio, we're in california ]. did you know your grandma pretty well? i hope your family feels better soon! - love, dana |
| from seducible : |
| This is RB. Or B. Or just plain old Rebekah. How about Ljubica? I still have yet to send my reply letter. It's a pathetic one. |
| from dialzero : |
| Ohmygosh. No. Way. Hehe... where do you live, again? |
| from littledjblue : |
| ..thank you. |
| from asdotcom : |
| I had Yoo-Hoo yesterday. I bought it with my last dollar and 46 cents that I borrowed from Keri. |
| from littledjblue : |
| July better come fast. But then, slow down for a while. You know, for a certain 10 days. That would suck if those went by all fast and stuff. |
| from jennyjam007 : |
| I love The Emporer's New Groove, too (and Les Mis and Dr. Suess). You're photographs are awesome! |
| from taliana1 : |
| I love the dandelion picture--beautiful. And what a sweetheart you have. |
| from imaginated : |
| you are an incredible photographer!! And you're funny too. |
| from first-blush : |
| "and, of course, the one in which you're minding your own business, giving yourself a tongue bath, and some punk with a camera decides to entertain themselves." I hate it when that happens.. =/ 'Tis a cute picture, though. |
| from imaginated : |
| Hey friend, Just wanted to say I hope you feel better soon! I've had my share of ear infections and I know how unfun they can be. GET WELL SOON! |
| from littledjblue : |
| I was thinking about Survivor earlier today. Then it hit me: YOU should go on Survivor. I would *so* be your #1 fan. |
| from larrielou : |
| What happened?? Are you okay?! |
| from larrielou : |
| Oh, Bethany, I am so, so, so sorry. I can't tell you how much I feel for you right now. So sorry. |
| from littledjblue : |
| "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD , "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." - Jeremiah 29:11 ..I always think of you when I hear that verse. I'm really sorry about your cat. :( |
| from virginmary : |
| losing such a special friend is so unfair. my thoughts are with you. |
| from jamita : |
| Isn't it amazing how animals can be the most sensitive creatures in this world? She was loved by you, and she was comforted by those feelings. I know her memory will live on. |
| from first-blush : |
| Have I noted you before? Goddamn. I need a new brain. Euhhh.. Read some o' your diary. You be cool. *pats you on the head* Yepyep. |
| from asdotcom : |
| I see how it is. |
| from littledjblue : |
| Third Day? You're way cooler than Third Day. You're up there with John Reuben and the likes. And that means a lot, coming from me, as I'm sure you know. You're, like, as cool as Hercules, eh. Third Day is more like Angel Bo. |
| from asdotcom : |
| After almost no deliberation I've decided we should get each other's vital stats tatooed on our backs. (Including full name, height, weight, eye color, hair color, and blood type.) What do you think? |
| from asdotcom : |
| After much deliberation I've decided that you should join the Air Force and I will join the Marines. Then we'll have the four real branches of our military covered. What do you think? |
| from waterstain : |
| i bet i could do a lot of neat stuff with a defibrillator. (yeah, i haven't gotten a note in a while.) |
| from littledjblue : |
| happy birthday. :) hope it's a great one. |
| from jamita : |
| Happy Birthday Bethany! One candle closer to employing a blow torch to light them all. |
| from amandabean : |
| yes calvin. wait, what am i saying yes to? you ruling the world? meh. sure. yes. |
| from copygirl : |
| ps, I like your diary too. alot even. |
| from copygirl : |
| dont you know it. |
| from finalscore : |
| sometimes you make too much sense. and i mean that in the best way. - love, dana |
| from amandabean : |
| alright, i decided that you're great. every time i get on here in a low mood, i have a note, and it's from you. wow you're nice. thanks. |
| from splorch : |
| BWAH! OK, now I'm cracking up. It definitely counts. Please tell me it wasn't a holiday. |
| from jamita : |
| I have a request to make of you, you will be well compensated for your time and consideration.. if interested, respond back before this message self-destructs.. 5..4..3.. get the point? :o) |
| from thediastema : |
| Whoa. That fufu thing just brought about serious flashbacks to portions of my youth spent careening around Van City, high off the vanilla extract in raw cookie dough, doing Sharon/Lois/Bram choreography for all passing motorists...Heavy, doc. Heavy. |
| from marn : |
| Oh, man, two years without a coat in my neck of the woods and I'd have been a blue Marnsicle a long, long time ago. There are definite advantages to NOT being Canuckistani, and one of them would be living in a place where you don't have to bundle up for winter. |
| from greentealeaf : |
| well, i'm impressed with your tastes, to put it mildly. ;) |
| from asdotcom : |
| Honey, please pick up milk, eggs, bread, and toilet paper. Don't forget the toilet paper. Remember what happened last time you did that. xoxo, -AS! |
