3:49 pm - woo the coming out of the closet year!
|
1. What did you do in 2004 that you'd never done before?
Admitted to myself that I'm a big old lez, lived in the mountains, spent crazy amounts of money, been a vegetarian and (briefly) a vegan, even though I took saturdays off to eat cheese and pastries!
2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
According to last year's survey, I was supposed to be as ridiculous and spontaneous as possible- check. Next year I want to get better grades in school and have less drama.

nope, but my cousin's girlfriend is knocked up now. what will that make me? a cousin once removed?
4. Did anyone close to you die?
my heterosexual self was brutally crushed.

Re-instating and expanding my flannel wardrobe! not having an identity crisis.
9. What was your biggest failure?
Being responsible, not throwing up after drinking, etc. Remaining in touch with people and returning phone calls are definitely up there too.

I sat in a yellow jacket's nest and got at least 15 stings at one time, mostly on the ass. THAT was a little out of hand, let me tell you.

Probably my backpack from REI, or my plane ticket to visit Kat over fall break.
12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
My family's. (that apostrophe looks really odd for some reason)

Well my Louisiana red-neck boyfriend this summer was a class-A douche, but on the other hand, it was totally my bad for thinking that was a good idea.

smoking, throwing up alcohol, being a super classy kid, spending money on iTunes for the L word.

I don't think so! I dislike some people that I met, but they are more amusing than anything.

I personally loved frankenstein. Oh, and Tropic of Cancer by Henry Miller is incredible! I read that and Lolita at work this summer and one of my bosses thought I was some kind of pervert.
27. What was your greatest musical discovery?
I went through an intense Avett Brothers/bluegrass phase, and lately I've really been into Bach. I love this hipster indie band called the Organ too.

If Kat lived in Meadville!

to be cliche:
"I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains
Theres more than one answer to these questions
Pointing me in a crooked line
And the less I seek my source for some definitive
The closer I am to fine"
current music: Barbara Allen- Joan Baez (still gotta love the folkies)

12:45 pm - 2007!
|
So, I haven't updated in so long that it took me like five minutes to figure out how to post. Actually that is a big lie, but it did take me at least 30 seconds and one wrong button. Anyway! Here is my usual end of the year survey for everyone's enjoyment!
1. What did you do in 2007 that you'd never done before?
College! Camping trip without adults! wait, ana was there. she is a wise adult. but still.
2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I didn't really have any. Next year I want to be as ridiculous and spontaneous as possible. $257 bus tickets to California, anyone?
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
I don't think so.
4. Did anyone close to you die?
I don't think so.
5. What countries did you visit?
Canada only a couple times, it wasn't a very travel-oriented year.
6. What would you like to have in 2008 that you lacked in 2007?
A band to use my wonderful new vibraslap in!! (thank you Marianna, best present ever!) My car at college. More camping equipment, especially my own tent and backpack. YOUR LOVE!
7. What date from 2007 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
I'm not sure I approve of the phrase "etched upon your memory." I'll probably forget it all eventually! But I had lots of lovely times with lovely people anyway. I've already forgotten graduation, it was that exciting. Luckily, it is etched upon everyone else's memory through use of a cheesy photo!
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Existing at college, completing organic chemistry, being a happy human being.
9. What was your biggest failure?
Returning phone calls, cheering up my poor baby roommate :(
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
I had a lot of colds at college, but Stacy never got them because she sprayed me down with lysol. AND my uterus bled EVERY month, it was traumatic.
11. What was the best thing you bought?
Folk music!
12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
Probably Sam's, the nicest boy ever to be misused by myself. And you, dear reader.
13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
Congress, and not you, dear reader.
14. Where did most of your money go?
Amazon.com, Tattered Corners, Big Lots, Creative Crust. Oh, shopping life in Meadville.
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
College! Coming home for Thanksgiving!
16. What song will always remind you of 2007?
Anything Shakira and folk music.
17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
i. happier or sadder? happier! you know, I've said happier every time I've done this I do believe. I'm on a good trend here folks.
ii. thinner or fatter? Well between august and thanksgiving I may have even lost weight, but I think by now I'm back to normal. Maybe a little fatter, but nothing big.
iii. richer or poorer? richer! Thank you, Einstein Bro's Bagels.
18. What do you wish you'd done more of?
Raquetball, intellectual discussion, reading.
19. What do you wish you'd done less of?
Facebooking (same as last year!), upsetting assorted people, cleaning.
20. How will you be spending Christmas?
We opened presents and ate a delicious dinner and basked in family warmth.
23. How many one-night stands?
How many creepy Meadville men wish they could have changed that number...
24. What was your favorite TV program?
Well I did watch an incredible amount of Alias.
25. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?
I don't think so, do I hate anyone at college? Some vague dislike, but no hate.
26. What was the best book you read?
Not Vanity Fair! I loved Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton, and I'm really into Herzog by Saul Bellow.
27. What was your greatest musical discovery?
Maddy Prior in all her forms - Silly Sisters, Steeleye Span, with the Carnival Band. I'm pretty sure that means close to nothing to everyone, but she is a wonderful British folk singer to clarify.
28. What did you want and got?
KINKY SEX! just kidding. is it possible to be awkward on the internet? with yourself? I think I was just awkward with myself on the internet.
30. What was your favorite film of this year?
The Best of Youth is an amazing six hour Italian movie that everyone should see, and then discuss with me because I wrote a term paper on it and it is close to my heart.
31. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
I'm 18!! Weee buying cigarettes and not thinking about how each brand has like 80 different varieties and then being awkward at Rite Aid. But back to the question, I went to a nice dinner with Sam and then went to a comedy show and probably a party.
32. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
Alex Morgan living in PA :(
33. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2007?
Paul recently called me a lumberjack, but I slapped him right across the face!
34. What kept you sane?
Family, my dear friends both at school and home, walks, folk guitar.
35. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
Regina Spektor! and Shakira... But I do have a secret crush on Sufjan Stevens, who sometimes looks really hot and sometimes looks really bland.
36. What political issue stirred you the most?
My knowledge of politics is decidedly under qualified.
37. Who did you miss?
You. My family.
38. Who was the best new person you met?
Allegheny College.
39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2007:
Going to Alaska to work for a month and then traveling the rest of your summer IS possible and not just a dream of the 70's. Not that I did that, but I met people who did.
40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
"Whenever, wherever, we're meant to be together" take that, a Shakira tie-in vaguely related to my relationship issues! However, notice that the line "lucky that my breasts are small and humble, so you don't confuse them with mountains" from the same song has been omitted, as it does not relate to my giant chest.
I feel like I didn't mention several key things in that entry. First of all, college has given me horrible showering habits, several excellent new friends, and an increased appreciation for Detroit, Michigan and Pennsylvania all at once. I am feeling quite enthusiastic about everything right now, I love Geology, I miss the Decks, and am thoroughly excited for life.
Love,
Ellen

I haven't written in a long time, but I thought I'd take this opportunity! The big news of the last day is that I now have an awesome roommate for college!!! Which makes me more pumped than is healthy, and a lot more relaxed because I know I won't be in with a weirdo (not counting me of course, I can't escape myself) and from the hour we talked today, I'm thinking we will get along really well! She wants to do Bio and French, which is exactly what I want to do, and she seems really smart so she can help me struggle along. She also likes Regina Spektor (yay!!!!) and Shakira, so singing and dance parties are most certainly in order. Shes not a party-er, so no puke smells late in the night, she is an atheist so religious discussion will be satisfying, and she likes mostly good movies. And, not to be lame, but she just LOOKS like a nice, relaxed person. Which isn't saying that much, but is nonetheless really assuring. I know a lot of people don't even know where they are going now, so its pretty lucky for me to have all of this worked out already- but yay!! Happiness is in order!
Thats all I really wanted to report, except that lately I've been obsessed with Jane Austen movies (yeah, thats really weird), especially Pride and Prejudice, its been really nice to see my brother, I play too much online chess and I've been deliciously lazy about everything that matters.
Love,
Ellen

| |
1:29 am - So I did this in 2004 and 2005...
|
and it seemed appropriate to do it in 2006!
1. What did you do in 2006 that you'd never done before?
A lot of things. Not drugs!
2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I didn't keep them because I can't remember them for shit, and I may make some for next year. I make a lot of resolutions throughout the year, but I have low willpower so they rarely work out. Good thing I haven't taken up smoking.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
I don't think so.
4. Did anyone close to you die?
My great uncle? But that may have been in 2006.
5. What countries did you visit?
Canada a few times.
6. What would you like to have in 2007 that you lacked in 2006?
More motivation, more late nights out being ridiculous, and more visits to Ann Arbor. Not to mention college.
7. What date from 2006 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
Not to make everyone throw up, but Valentine's day, probably prom, my winter camping trip (good times, good times), the Tastefest show, maybe the Halfass show, the moment I found out about my scholarship to Allegheny.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
College success, being in a longterm relationship (did I just type that?), reading lots of good books.
9. What was your biggest failure?
Improving on guitar, not being a fatty.
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
A few colds and I gave blood! But that was voluntary injury.
11. What was the best thing you bought?
My Vox amp!
12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
My Mom.
13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
Jeff Nardone? Maybe just the entity of Tower.
14. Where did most of your money go?
Borders, Car City Records
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
Regina Spektor!
16. What song will always remind you of 2006?
Carbon Monoxide? Maybe some Decks songs.
17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
i. happier or sadder? happier I think, senior year does win over junior stress by far. And being excited about the future as opposed to worried makes one happy also!
ii. thinner or fatter? maybe a few pounds more.
iii. richer or poorer? poorer! but in knowledge? nevermind, I didn't just think that.
18. What do you wish you'd done more of?
Playing guitar, reading, exercising, productive existence.
19. What do you wish you'd done less of?
Facebooking, having random emotional outbursts.
20. How will you be spending Christmas?
The usual fam stuff.
23. How many one-night stands?
Everytime we play a show I make love to the audience.. oh wait they just wish. Ha.
24. What was your favorite TV program?
The Olympics!
25. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?
Oh probably, but not hate that counts. Just you're fat and obnixous hate but I'm leaving in 8 months type hate.
26. What was the best book you read?
Anna Karenina by Tolstoy was a good one, many others of great interest.
27. What was your greatest musical discovery?
I don't really make musical discoveries, but other people steered me in the Regina Spektor direction and I did pick up on Joan Baez a lot.
28. What did you want and got?
Scholarship to Allegheny.
30. What was your favorite film of this year?
Hmmm I didn't like many I saw in theaters this year.
31. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
I'm 17. I can't remember what I did! I'm sure I had cake with my family and opened a few presents. I think Alex had to work, but we went on a walk.
32. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
A disposable uterus!!
33. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2006?
The words "fashion concept" are foreign to me.
34. What kept you sane?
The Decks kept me on the edge of sanity, Alex bears the brunt of all of my terrible emotions really well so that everyone mostly just thinks I'm nice, jolly etc. and there are lots of material possesions I enjoy, not including the shower.
35. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
Regina Spektor!
36. What political issue stirred you the most?
Arbortion possibly. I did hand out democractic fliers in the rain on the election day! I hate the democrats, but thats neither here nor there. My political outlook has become decidedly cynical.
37. Who did you miss?
My college buds.
38. Who was the best new person you met?
Kelsey Pecherer! That was recently. I cannot remember.
39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2006:
If you seek flattery, play for a drunk crowd of middle aged creepy men!
40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
"they'll just say that we're being lazy, sex crazed, sex crazed, hazy" not that that makes any sense.

I had a really, really good weekend. I am a happy, happy Ellen Chamberlin. I played one of the best shows we've played in a while, bonded a lot with Ana, got to know one of her friends who is exactly like me except a lot cooler, wandered about cool places in Ann Arbor, received good advice from Ana the wise, felt a lot more secure about college/the present/the future, felt a lot better about my relationship with Alex Morgan than I have for at least a month, went naturing with my family, didn't do a damn bit of work, Christmas shopped, ate delicious Christmas desserts, loved the cold, got a nice new coat, bought peppermint tea, and saw my brother. Basically, I'm feeling a very good strain of Christmas joy!
Oh, it all started when I wore my favorite flannel.
Love,
Ellen

So yesterday night I got back from a college visit to Allegheny College, in northwestern PA and it was really really really awesome!! The campus is on top of this huge hill and has all of these old stone buildings and is surrounded by forest and at the bottom of the hill is a small town as in every college, and in the middle of the campus (which you can walk across in about 5 minutes) is a ravine with a stream and forest and a wooden bridge over it. If this doesn't scream Ellen to you, the outing club has A RACK OF CANOES!!!!!!!! yay!!!! I talked to professors from the neuroscience, biology, french and environmental sciences department and they all seemed really awesome. They have a nature preserve right off of campus for ecological research (!!!!!!!!!!) and yeah, the first students we saw when we arrived were a group of kids heading out for a weekend backpacking trip. seriously!! Also, the guy from the french department said they have a program for semester in Paris where science students can do lab research, and also a program in the loire valley where you study french intensely. Yess!!! French country side, french city, lab research!!!
We ate lunch with the assistant dean of admissions, and he basically shook my hand like 80 times and assured me that I would get scholarship money and they wanted me to go there. Seriously, happy ellen!! Even my dad, who is incredibly critical, couldn't think of a single thing wrong with this place. All of the students we met seemed really unpretenious (which is more than I can say for most private liberal arts colleges) and the senior girl doing neuroscience research seemed really smart and cool.
Anyway, i can really see myself living there and being a happy person. :) :) :)
Love,
Ellen

4:28 pm - Oh celebrity stalking.

So this weekend, I heard Regina Spektor in concert, I got within touching range of Regina Spektor, I had a three sentence conversation with Regian Spektor, I hugged Regina Spektor, I played the creepy stalker-fan outside of Regina Spektor's tour bus, I told Regina Spektor she is the best person ever, and then Regina Spektor was the cutest person ALIVE and rubbed my arm and told me to go home and get warm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The moral of the story is that she has beautiful blue eyes and she is the only person alive that can pull off Ugg boots and I love her so much? AND SHE HAS THE CUTEST SPEAKING VOICE EVER.
I could keep going with that, but I also just won color junction a minute ago and that was originally why I wanted to update. This has been a really good weekend overall, and Ana is home. And I miss her so much, even though she is secretly about a mile from me right now, but you know how that goes.
Even though its horrible cliche, I can't waittttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt for college. A)HIGOIHEIHJIL:HH$LHdlaskhgl;ahrwghio;3hg!
But yeah, if I look like a different person the next time you see me read the first paragraph again.

10:34 pm - well. well. well.

Just because of the fact that I've had too many angsty-vague entries in the past month or so, i just thought I'd say some other stuff on here.
We started the Odessey in Lit, which is pretty cool. I'm enjoying reading it so far, I really like the poetry format and stuff. I like it. (even though Campion has a goatee of two different colors and basically defines the word creeper).
I ate my first borscht Sunday, thanks to Liza's grandma. I mean, whatever the foreign word for grandma is. Beets?
So it all comes down to the facts that a) I had a nice phone conversation with the Amorgs tonight! yay!! b) Regina Spektor SOONNNNNNNN (love is the answer to a question that i've forgotten??) c) I like the new Tower masthead and have already accomplished some really excellent Tower mischief d) Saying internet slang out loud in horribly abnixious voices is the best way to brighten your day.
So basically as soon as homecoming goo is over, I will have more free time, and free time is inversely proportional to the time I spend as emo Ellen (see previous entry) so that is good.
Love,
Ellen

so i don't delete things in past entries, but erase all the stupid shit that that said. i guess apologizing on the internet is not very effective, but i feel like a horrible person for making super pointed remarks just to cause a reaction out of you (vague vague mmm) and ily a lot. that was definently a classic ellen "this sounds like a good idea right now" moment when in actuality it is the worst idea ever.

so i'm just updating this because i'm happy its the weekend. it got off to a sort of bad start though, cross country sucked, but hmm. oh well, people.
i miss my buddies, the decks, and just everyone. i feel sort of isolated? i don't even get to see alex anymore. that is pretty serious people. i ALWAYS see alex, and now i don't. lonely, lonely, lonely.
please don't let me talk about tower anymore. if i start to talk about tower, just cut me off immediately. im so sick of stuff and talking about it, so end. end.
at least mr. martin always lives up to my expectations as an amazing person. don't you hate it when you meet someone new and you think they're just so awesome? but then maybe they aren't. or maybe i just overdo everything, am too ridiculous to even exist, and am the queen at cultivating fake friendships really fast. GOOD.

10:52 pm - some stuff about my life (that isn't a survey!!)
|
so basically i've been existing at work and mipa for a long time since i've updated this. i feel a lot like i should be making some big decisions about stuff right now, but i'm just kind of feeling a lot of mixed things. and i cry a lot. at totally random moments, like this one night at mipa when i actually wasn't sad or something, but my fan was broken. wait, i have to insert a sentence here about liza dzul being one of the best people ever.
tonight was a good time though. alex and i took $50 worth of Mr. Pita from the tower picnic, which maria attended and thus hilarity ensued. mmmm already nostalgic for the beautiful mix of editors that existed last year. whatever, there is going to be an article on summer flings in the first day issue this year because i have emerged from tower with an acute sense of personal irony. (and i give vent to my bitterness in weird ways.)
so anyway, then it was really pretty outside by the lake and we played a wonderful few games of crochet, all of which i lost. even when i employed very sleathly cheating methods. we spent a long time at linda's talking about life thoughts that i've been having, and it was very nice. alex morgan. alexander morgan? alexander bennett morgan?? yes.
i'm in love with your daughter, i want to have her babies. i'm in love with your daughter, so can i please?

I don't know, but I've waited long enough and I decided I'm just going to give it a go. So anyway, thats the news for now.

10:15 am - some stuff
|
so I have an ap us project, an ap lang project, and a 2500 word ap lang essay to write! yes!! I'm still managing to be in a good mood though, part because I'm listening to awful techno and partly because it's just like summer out and I was gardening. I think I like gardening. Is it too late to plant vegetables? I hope not.
Yesterday was probably the most summer-esque day I've had in 2006. The Tigers game was fun despite the fact that it was realllly hot and we lost 9 to nothing.. but I've never actually been to a professional sporting event, so it was an experience. The prices put me into permenant shock; luckily, we met this 30 year old lady in line who we bitched with about the ridiculous prices and then it was her birthday.
As soon as I got home Amanda called and she was at the park with some cool cats so Alex and I biked over there, swam, and then got a tour of the giant Nucilli boat, which is incredible. We should have a show on that or something. It's so huge!! and sweet. Then we ate dinner with my brother at a picnic table, played frisbee (Alex ran full blast into a picnic table and smashed his insides/got a puncture wound on his leg) and had an altogther summery evening. Plus a concluding eight or nine mile bikeride made me all sweaty or something but I didn't take a shower anyway. I still need to do that actually.
In other words, summer. Also, I really enjoyed Liz's prom pictures, everyone looked very nice. Too bad I'm a lowly junior.
Love, Ellen
current mood: pleasant
current music: Ocean Drive (West Coast Mix)- I listen to techno loudly
