| homecoming parallels the coolest of cool |
[17 Oct 2004|02:58am] |
homecoming was good.
homecoming was GREAT.
man that was fun. so i get a call today, around 5:30 pm, after rehearsal, it says it's from coti's phone and i answer it and it's melissa calling from coti's phone. "jake? you totally have 2 dates." YESSSS. melissa never ended up getting asked, so we decided to take her along with us. we get to the place and coti, dressed as pocahontas, a most stunning pocahontas at that, is told that her straps are too thin and that she has to wear something over her shoulders or she'll be kicked out. i swear to god our school's administration has laser eyes. i bet they practice ALL DAY for that kind of thing. anyway, kristen ends up having this funky soft fur thing that covers your shoulders and it worked dandily.
cut to dance
dancing was FUN. i finally put everything i had into dancing tonight. i NEVER do that at homecoming. usually i kinda just stand there. but if anyone ever has the chance to dance, totally do it. even if you suck. cotis really fun to dance with. so's melissa. and katie. and LUCAS. lucas is totally the best rapper ever. "niggas dont dance we just pull up our pants...." yeeeeeah.
oh yeah, homecoming had an INTERMISSION. during the intermission they played worship music. worst mood killer ever. but we got back into it. mrs petrucci tried to disrupt our dancing but i just humped her away. it was pretty sweet awesome. i figured it out. since the expecto petronum spell didn't work, a good pelvicto thrustonum was all i needed. she got out of there fast, like a dementor. she dements. dement. drop the t and youve got a demon. woot.
all in all, homecoming was an absolute BLAST, and i'm really glad i went. i think i had the most fun, most beautiful date(s) there. i wanted to go to ashley's after party but i wanted to stay with coti and melissa because i needed to drive them home, so i went to jeremy's house. props to the meek clan with their gorgeous amazing house. roof dancing was awesome. DANIEL ATE A LIZARD TAIL. he like got the lizards tail fresh off the lizard and totally just ate it. it was so ninja! it was possibly the most insane thing i've seen all week. i made a bouquet out of flowers in jeremy's yard and gave it to coti. it wasnt a very good bouquet, but hey, it wasnt really supposed to be. i really hope i get to go to sadie hawkins. dances are fun.
you can dance if you want to, you can leave your friends behind...
P.S. eddie rocks the hizzouse at dj-ing. DJ SLIM UP IN HERE.
p.s.s. i missed jenny tonight, i wish she would have gone. in fact, i'll go call her right now. i heart best friends.

homecoming. 1 (or is it 2 days) until saturday. i'm not quite sure how to figure that out. i'm super excited because coti's a super cool girl and we're totally going. we will rock you.
dear anonymous posters,
i heart you.
love, jake.
your cause is pointless. no one seems to understand that if i dont know who you are, i don't GIVE A SHIT what you say. it's hilarious. so if you really want to hurt my feelings, which so far your efforts have been in vain haha, you might want to:
1.) Tell me who you are
2.) Give at least half way meaningful replies
3.) Sound somewhat intelligent
4.) Prove to me that you are who you say you are, in person
that, and probably more, would be what it would take for you to hurt my feelings. thanks for your valiant attempts though, they're pretty funny. actually scratch that, theyre really funny. look at me, i should be listened to because i'm too much of a coward to show my face. hahahahaha.
it's ok. mafka can always roll on anyone and everyone. honestly. bruch, am i right? you know it.
bonfire was sweet. car bash was even sweeter. i totally killed the roof of that car, along with des and glenny, or glenny, or however you spell it. we OWNED that car. yesssss. that door was mine though, i had to tear it apart. thanks go out to eddie and josh for assissting me in my epic battle. we slaughtered that thing. if that car was a horse, it would so be dead. i would still be beating the horse even if it was on the ground. which it is. dead. man i love car bashes. props to jeremy meek, the coolest student body president ever. and to richard ramsay for giving the coolest shoutout ever from a football player. HENNAS. SWEET.
man. i love my sister. she's totally awesome.

[14 Oct 2004|07:14pm] |
in like 10 minutes. she's totally going to be there. yes.
i don't think flames could look any lovelier than they will tonight. they've been given the prettiest of faces to reflect from, the brightest of eyes to entertain, and the lips that will speak while the blaze is aflame are as much like the fire as tears are like the rain. what a pretty picture frame. when did you grow up? when did you put roses to shame? it all snuck up at me like shadows to my bedside like clouds on the darkest of nights we would spend looking from the hidden valley's end with the city's bright lights reaching for us like a child for it's bed.
...i'll see you soon...

thanks to monika for accidentally lending me her totally sweet awesome glasses. in her words, i need to get some. haha.

so i was definitely harry potter today. it was rad. i got entered in some drawing to win a "jeans day". lah dee frickin dah. i totally tried to cast the expecto petronum spell on mrs. petrucci today while she was judging our apparel, but it didnt work. she didnt disappear.
tomorrow i believe for around the world day, im going as a gypsy. man its going to be super cool. EVERYTHINGS JUST SO COOL.
also. so my dad gets a call today and this guy whos directing an independent film in los angeles wants him to be the head videographer for the movie. its most likely going to be featured at the sundance film festival. my dad is also going to edit the movie ON OUR EDITING COMPUTER. man im excited. if it goes to sundance, jenny and i are going to go along with my dad because he'll be a vip. mannnnnnnnn. excitement. film festivals rock. the movies about a black family that arises one morning to discover that all caucasian people have disappeared. i guess its about family values and how much their lives would change. it sounds super interesting.
GYPSY!
hamlet rehearsal went sweet tonight. sword fight is finished. then i got to do a fight with rosencrantz and guildenstern where im pretty much an animal the whole time. i love creating my own character of hamlet. hes super cool, but when hes insane he gets all animalistic and stuff. MAN IM EXCITED RIGHT NOW.

fight choreography yesterday morning for hamlet. 4 HOURS. yikes. it was in the gym at church. actually the fight is going to be pretty cool. i was a little skeptical at first due to the fact that we have a new fight choreographer, but he's a good guy and he knows what he's doing. itll be hot. first of all, ross and i are totally fighting with swords. thats hot. then i get poisoned. thats...kinda hot. then grant and i kill people. thats double hot. the plays going to be good. we went to borders yesterday with 4 or 5 members of the cast, grant and i in full costume, and passed out fliers for the show. then matt told me "surprise. you're performing 'the plays the thing' monologue in the kids amphitheater in the back of the store in 10 minutes." so i did it. it was pretty good, ill give it that, but IN THE KIDS AMPHITHEATER!? there were cheap images of saturn on the carpet! "HAMLET IN SPACE" ...well it got peoples attention, anyway. that was good. and then i had to do it again, and grant and i noticed this funny looking girl that grant describes as "hot, but not hot at all" watching veryyy intently. i couldnt look at her while i was doing the monologue because i would start laughing. ANYWAY. after borders came some rehearsal and looking at the new costume designs. amazing. the bender family is truly amazingly artistic. i admire them. THEN we went to pv mall, again in full costume, and split into groups. grant and i, the only ones in costume, were in a group. we had a huge stack of fliers with us and we were passing them out to people when we noticed 2 security guards behind us. so we dove into the book store and to our surprise, the waste-of-tax rentacops walked up and just took our fliers and began walking away. at least they said thank you. but on with our story. i blurted "are you really allowed to do that?" he said, "you're not supposed to be handing things out on private property." and i said, "well give us back our fliers because those are our personal property, we'll take them back out to our car." the rentacops followed us ALL THE WAY to our car. it was ridiculous. mr. bandura should totally be a rentacop. then he could feel like he was doing something when in fact he was doing nothing at all. well, i guess he does that every day. i think we should give mr. bandura "play detention slips", where theyre fake but he pretends theyre real and he gives them out to students as he feels fit. oh man that guy amuses me so much.
so then, i went to horizon's "broadway under the stars", the title of which i dont really understand because it was in the school's theater, not under the stars. hmm. anyway. it was pretty good. jessica was in it. she was the one who asked me to go. i wasnt sure if i was going to go simply because i didnt know if i wanted to go through that, but i did, and im glad i did. it was funny...after the show, one of her friends walked up to us as we were making small talk and asked "how do you guys know each other?" there was a few moments of silence before jessica said "we kinda just met over the summer." ...just met over the summer? oh well, i guess thats all it was, then. i cant do this anymore. i cant sell my heart to merchants who will only use it to attract other customers. shes a great girl, but i really didnt think that she would ever reduce what we had over the summer to "we just kinda met."
gotta go. parents are home.

it almost amuses me. the situation i'm in. to know that the one i have wanted for years, the one that has been the object of my desire for an innumerable amount of days, the one i had a chance with at one point in time but i was too ignorant to see the blinding light. she is the one who now speaks to me of her girlish desires. it pains me to know that the door was open at one point in time, and that i was in another room, away from that passage way to happiness. i was interested in things of the moment. i spoke to her the other night intelligently, and she spoke with me as well. it was one of the best conversations i have ever maintained. it hurts me knowing that i must wait for her, and that the train may never arrive at the station i am positioned at.
anyway.
rehearsal today. ben and i went out last night and discovered that dunkin doughnuts tosses all of their doughnuts from the day at 10:30 pm. we'll be there tonight, waiting to collect our claims. we met a girl there, the manager, allison, who gave us 14 doughnuts for the price of 12. it was amazing. i love doughnuts, i guess i was unaware of that until now. :-)
so now i will lie waiting for one who will never come, i'll pretend that i am busy, i'll pretend that i am interesting. i will play the part of one who is intelligent. i will drown this stage with tears, and i will confound the ignorant and appal the free. and all for vain. these city lights burn in my eyes, they dont know to dim down so i can see the night sky. if i could bottle perfection, i would mix it with gin, its a bitter thing living when the one thing you want, the one thing you need, the one thing youve destroyed so many relationships trying to paint lovers faces with things they arent made of, its bitter to know that thing will never, ever love you back. the worst part is living with yourself. the part that hurts the most is knowing you have torn so many spirits into unreconcilable halves.
i hate myself for that.
i wont go down by myself, but ill go down with my friends.

dont know what the title was, just typed. but ANYWAY.
first things first. i was on tv last night. channel 3. at 10 oclock. i was at hamlet rehearsal and we went on dinner break and i walked in the cafe and to my surprise an entire camera crew from channel 3 was there, and this guy in a suit jumped me and i used my totally ninja moves on him. well i didnt ninja him, but he did come up to me really fast. he goes "are you, by any chance, in high school? (me- "yeah. i am.") "would you like to be on tv tonight?" (me- "uhhh. sure.") so they filmed shawn smith, some other kids, and i watching the debate and then they interviewed a few of us. it was funny, they interviewed me for a pretty long time and only showed like 10 seconds from each person. editing is amazing.
next, RECORDING today. with grant. in the studio. with chance on the board. its gonna be crazy. i think im going to watch Clifford tonight before the parTAY at arielles. tonight will be good for the soul, better than campbells soup. itll be rockin, itll be hoppin, itll be CRAYZAY.
we're recording an acoustic song we wrote last week. piano? i should think so. :-)

death cab. again. |
] |
so i wrote some today during school. i like it. its in prose. here it is.
actually im going to add something in from last week that i wrote as well.
prose from last week:
i'll sing of sad things like funerals, telephones, and broken spirits
while you drink yourself to drowning in the ailment that you love so well.
i never knew that my replacement would arrive in the form of alchohol.
tell me, does the warm feeling in your stomach that you get from your bitter medicine
come close to how i made you feel when i would open doors and lift you up and kiss your neck again and again?
</last>
prose from today:
long black ribbons, tied in a bow, make their paths through your long, blonde hair. the weather is changing, and i am in love with a dream that's arranging my words into pictures, my thoughts into unauthentic biographical novels that portray the life of a lover made up in my head. i am obsessed with the idea of romance, my speech is facetious, my thoughts bury themselves in your bed. please keep your mind from adhering to the white flag that i am parading. it stands for false purity, rather than the surrendering thoughts you think i intend. i would so love to believe that the feeling that exudes from our memories is a personified image of love, but the truth remains locked on the physical trust that we as deceivers forever obstruct.
</today>
so now im sitting at home. i want to play music. with ben. but hes at geek school. bye.

death cab for cutie - a movie script ending |
] |
i bet you cant guess where i am.
wait, i bet you can. whats that you say? NO! i'm not in a sweat shop.
im in independent study, you fool!
well that was odd, perhaps ill try it again sometime. i havent posted for a few days because i was in the swiss alps racing pygmy giraffes. it was pretty sweet. pretty freakin sweet. pretty freaky awesome wicked sweet. run, little giraffe, run...
anyway. saturday night was probably the coolest night ever. james, aj, jenny, joy, coti, and i went to the hidden valley. its like 50 miles northeast of phoenix in the middle of the desert. probably some of the most beautiful scenery ive ever seen in the u.s. it was dusk when we drove out, and the stars were just beginning to shine. theres a small village on the way with trees and shrubbery that james and aj have deemed as "the keebler village". anyway, back on the farm, or back in the desert, or what you will, when we FINALLY got to "the spot", we began to stack wood in a triangular formation so as not to suffocate the fire we would soon ignite. we had to work quickly because the sun was setting rapidly. we burned newspapers and held them under the kindle and wood we had collected. the fire actually got going really well, i was proud of us. we sat there next to the campfire under the stars for 3 hours, just talking and reminiscing on good times and bad times, but mostly good times, because otherwise we all would have simply killed ourselves. i sat next to coti the whole time. i couldnt keep my mind off of homecoming. while i was playing the role of the passenger in jenny's car on the ride up to the hidden valley, jenny told me that i should definitely ask coti to homecoming. i was shocked to discover she had not attained a date as of yet. i was glowing. and i dont know why. i have no idea AT ALL. see, i once had this gigantic crush on her freshman year. seriously, i couldnt talk to her because i was super intimidated. yeah i was pathetic. but back to the story, i sat and thought about homecoming almost the whole time.
so as we were preparing to leave, i asked her. i think she thought i was joking because she giggled. but then she said yes. i have to find a date for melissa though, because she'll be going alone or not all if i dont. anyone interested? haha. so scratch the non-date-to-homecoming thing. im definitely going with the most gorgeous girl at our school. its strange. odd. i never imagined myself going with anyone from that particular group at our school. it seems almost surreal. like a dream.
well im going to go kill john zyadet simply for being cool. hes not a ninja, so ill win.
bye.

| dedication to cereal |
[02 Oct 2004|05:36pm] |
have you ever eaten like a quarter of a bowl of cereal just because you like the cereal so much that you dont want to eat large quantities of it because you dont want it to run out too fast and have to wait for your mom to go to the store again?
im doing that right now. but now im done with the cereal. i want some more really bad but i really dont want to eat too much of it. itll be at least 4 days before my mom goes to the store again, and i dont know if i can wait that long for another box of cinnamon krunchers. theyre from tony the tiger. he thinks theyre GRRRREEEAT. but i think theyre wonderful. one time, during the summer, ben and i went to bashas and i bought 2 WHOLE BOXES of cinnamon toast cruch for driving food. that lasted me awhile because i only ate it when i was in my car. i think that was on my birthday. that was an awesome birthday present. ben bought me doughnuts.
so ive decided. it took ALOT of convincing on my friends' parts, but ive decided: im going to homecoming. BY MYSELF, may i add. im totally going to my senior homecoming alone. thats amazing. im going by myself and im going to take pictures by myself and everything. i think im going to pose like i have someone with me in the picture and just look completely clueless.
oh yeah the theme is fairy tales and im going as rumpelstiltskin.
rumpelstiltskin. that sounds like foreskin. nasty. i totally just grossed myself out. so im listening to darci cash. pretty good pretty good. i like it i like it. what if i said everything twice? i think i would annoy the hell out of people, but nothing much would change. teehee.
i think my favorite band of all time is death cab for cutie. they never let me down.
and matt bruch and i have decided that killing babies is the most righteous thing EVER. except for killing babies who are already dead. dead babies. babies EVERYWHERE.
