"Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me"-Donny and Marie |
] |
September and October blew (Primary, grandfather, etc), but November is already SO much better. Pretty much because I love Mick Jagger, Nancy Pelosi, and, most of all, Donny Osmond. Seriously. I'm going to be his groupie. I just need to convince the Church of Latter Day Saints to allow their members to have groupies. They should make an exception for rock stars, damnit. I mean, I'll convert if I have to. Ha!
Him: How are you?!
Me: Umm...I'm great, DONNY OSMOND. What?
Hahaha. Then he hugged me. It was so unexpected and wonderful. And I love his coat...and I love him.
I didn't get a picture for my sister because, as learned from the Intrepid episode, I can't function during the first meeting, so we went back a few nights later (and actually saw the show this time!). He remembered us and asked my sister how her birthday was. How freakin' adorable is that? Then he grabbed her hand, rubbed her nail polish, and said "Ooh pretty!" Yeah, that was kind of awkward.
Anyway, my sister with Donny:
I really need for Steven Tyler to NEVER go on Broadway because I'd have to go up there every freakin' night to stalk. Haha, it's a good thing he won't. Wow, that'd be strange.

| seasons from the end of the catwalk |
[18 Sep 2006|09:08pm] |
was unfuckingbelievable. seriously. the catwalk is so short that being all the way at the end is the greatest seat EVER. my god. ahhhh. i don't even want to write much about it, all i'm going to say is that he definitely sang that whole song looking straight at me and i cried...a lot. i haven't done that in a realllly long time.
i think all the extra steven attention was to make up for when he STEPPED ON MY HAND and stood there for like 1/2 of "cryin'." we got into a bit of a fighting match with me slapping his leg to get him off. i didn't even do anything for awhile (as long as he's there, i have no reason to complain!), but eventually it really started to hurt. hahahahaha. there were fucking shoe prints on my hand!! at least it wasn't joe with his spurs...heyyy, bring the spurs back! ohhh. omg-joe is looking so "pump"ed out! gahh i love the long hair.
i officially LOVE aerosmith security for fighting with event security to let me stay there :D. how can you NOT sell that seat?! wayyy better than all the way up front, imo.
CAN'T BELIEVE andrew cuomo caused me to miss pnc. i was just depressed and didn't want to go. dumbest decision ever.
next stop: jones beach 2. IF i get a ticket that is...hmm...
(no pics this time. took three on a disposable and forgot about it...i guess i'll post those if i ever use the camera).
hhahaa i don't even care that this is incoherent.

I MET STEVEN AGAIN! I didn't think he was coming and I wasn't feeling well at all so I decided to take a nap in a private room when all of a sudden he just appeared. I was so confused. It's a bit scary to be woken up by such a complete shock. :D! Ahhhhhh! And I actually got pics this time. I'll post them when Aimee and Lisa send them tomorrow. K, my cab is coming soon.

fedex guy: is there some big deadline coming up?
me: two big deadlines. how'd you know?
fedex guy: you're getting tons of packages every day...and you look like you're about to have a nervous breakdown.
because i can't think, i'm not going to bother trying to construct actual sentences:
-work=INSANE
-creepy guy moved into the apartment.
-CAN'T. FIND. TICKETS. we've all come to a decision: CHEAP TRICK COME BACK. $100 for 8th row catwalk FROM THE FAN CLUB. fuck af1. seriously. i want to stage a sit in at the office. mwahaha. maybe then they'll give me my lost shirt or a goddamn refund from 27 years ago.
-i hate the cenacle stories. they make me sad to listen to dtl.
-I HAD TO CALL DAVID KREBS FOR WORK. SO weird. i wanted so badly to scream at him for screwing aerosmith over.
-going home for two weeks aug 14-28. realllly hard decision.
-it's like 105 degrees and i'm sporting an afro
that's all. blahhhhhhhh.

I'm home. Actually, I'm not sure if I'm supposed to be home. I may or may not have to work today, but I didn't want to return to an empty office so I'm staying another day. This may or may not get me in a little bit of trouble. I may or may not have any clue as to what I'm doing. Probably the latter on that last one.
Anyway...
Home has been incredibly uneventful. I mean, I went to a field party for three and a half minutes before realizing everyone there was like 12, got stuck in traffic on a back country road (DIE Bethel Woods!), and was just recently screamed at for leaving my clothes in the dryer and drinking half a wine cooler with dinner last night. Oh well. The weather here is amazing though. Not humid at all and the air is just so fresh. Every time I have to go to Albany/Buffalo for work I get so homesick when passing the mountains and breathing the fresh air. I never really thought I'd care about those things. I'm not going to pretend I don't love my concrete jungle though.
Um...what else? I haven't been writing much. Work has been kind of crazy. Friday I had a bit of a hissy fit, refused to petition over the weekend, and fled upstate. Ha. It was a lot like junior prom when I flipped about being told I had to debate at NFA. Whatever, at least I've gotten that little temper tantrum out of my system. Eh, I hate that I keep making those debate references. It completely freaks me out that my life is made up of relatively new people. I mean, I keep talking about these people (who are AMAZING, by the way) and my family has no idea what I'm talking about. It's just a little strange to absorb the changes, even though it's been awhile now. Eh, I can't really explain it.
Okay, whatever, I'm tired of this. Oh, wait! FYI, NY1 is my favorite place in the world. Next summer? Blahhh, okay, done.

Andrew Cuomo is a disgusting human being. I'll write more about the convention tomorrow (I'm about to crash), but there are a few things I want to point out that I feel like I need to write right now.
-He had his very young, very cute daughter attack the Green supporters with stickers. There were volunteers from both campaigns waiting outside of the main delegate's entrance w/ signs and stickers and we greatly outnumbered the Cuomo people, not only in size but in spirit as well. I mean, they had *maybe* five or six 1199 people sitting down, practically going to sleep. I guess it's because they don't really care as much as we do, mainly because Cuomo doesn't actually stand for anything. So, anyway, they were looking pretty pathetic, then they spotted media and sent the little girl over to us asking if we'd like Cuomo stickers. Now, she's adorable and about six years old, so we politely thanked her for asking and said we didn't need them. Then she turned into monster child and stuck one to a Green sign. Being six years old and cute, I kindly told her she really shouldn't force them on people but that we appreciated the offer, then offered to take one from her (with the intent of throwing it out). She tried to put it on my sign. That completely ruins the sign, so I couldn't pacify her and let her do it. After resisting for awhile she finally went away, but I just think the whole thing is absolutely disgusting and pathetic. Maybe AC feels forced into politics, but jesus, the girl is like six years old! Don't put her in that position! And I mean, do they think that makes him look good? God. It's just...disgusting, that's all I can say.
-Prior to that, a Cuomoite came to a group of volunteers standing outside (for support nad visibility) and told them they were missing a Green meeting and had to get back to the war room. Once again, that's disgusting. Apparently they were really afraid of our presence and needed to get rid of us. How do they think that makes them look?
-At the convention ANDREW CUOMO HIMSELF PUSHED ME OUT OF THE WAY when I held my MG sign up. Two seconds later, staffers "from the state committee" (I don't buy that) came over to tell us we had to leave because we were illegally standing in the aisle. EVERYONE WAS STANDING IN THE AISLE. He actually tried to have the Green supporters kicked out of the convention.
Maybe I'm crazy, but I feel like if you make American politics your career, you should probably at least APPRECIATE DEMOCRACY. If anyone on our staff tried anything even remotely like the Cuomo tactics they'd be out of there in a minute. Seeing the contrast in the way the two campaigns are run makes me so incredibly proud to work for Mark Green.
Of course, it's quite the shame that family ties and political arm-twisting gets one farther than 40 years of work in public service. God. It literally makes me queasy. When did this country turn into a aristocracy? When did we decide it would be a good idea to exclude people from the democratic process?
RULES OF THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK
The Democratic State Committee of the State of New York hereby adopts the following rules for the government of the Democratic Party of the State of New York:
Preamble
The purpose of these rules is to inspire and encourage the greatest number of Democrats to participate in the affairs of the Democratic Party of the State of New York, to insure the continuing success of the Democratic Party, and to provide the best possible responsible government for the people of the State of New York.
So then, am I missing something?
Whatever. I really need sleep. "I think if I have to endure another disappointment today from this place that I have worshipped, I am gonna lose it. So if you could wait until tomorrow, I would appreciate it."-Ainsley Hayes, The West Wing

it's midnight and i'm almost finished with a paper that's due tomorrow. i mean, how is that possible? this is the first time in my entire life that i've even started before midnight. i'm not sure what to do with myself. it's very weird. the paper kind of sucks, but i have to say that i truly don't care. it's for international politics and i don't think the math is right but i'm pretty sure i'll never be able to figure it out anyway. oh well. i've become incredibly laid back about school lately. it's a good feeling. it'll probably screw me in the long run (law school?), but i'm just too tired to care all that much right now. anyway, karl rove never graduated. ha. ya know, i keep saying that, i'm not entirely sure that it's true though. i'm pretty sure that it is, just not completely sure. oh well. it's finals week and i'm just like "yeah, whatever." weird. it's

I've been up all night searching the sex offenders database. It is, simply put, disgusting.
Some interesting cases found under a search for "Sullivan County":
Kevin Dickinson of Fallsburg sodomozied a 15 year old girl. He was sentenced to 2-4 years in state prison.
The same goes for Stephen Flynn of Callicoon.
Peter Hickey of Woodbourne raped a 78 year old woman. I'm not sure what his sentence was, but it happened in '86 and he's out now. Even if it was recent, I don't even think 20 years is enough.
George Newton of Woodbourne raped and choked a 42 year old woman. He served five years.
Malcolm Perry of Livingston Manor raped a 10 year old girl and was sentenced to 3-9 years.
Robert Sherrod of Woodbourne was convicted of first degree rape and was sentenced to 2-6 years.
Vidal Manuel fo Livingston Manor was convicted of first degree sexual assualt of a five year old. He was sentenced to... ready? SIX MONTHS.
Donald Whitted of Parksville raped a 14 year old girl. He was sentenced to 16 months-4 years. Special conditions upon probation: protection from vigilante justice. I'm going to vomit.
Thomas Williams of Wurtsboro sodomized a 12 year old boy and was sentenced to SIX MONTHS. "Note: Relationship to victim: Non-Stranger - Person established relationship for purposes of victimization (grooming)."
Anthony Wynn of Fallsburg was convicted of first degree sexual assault of a four year old girl. Again, six months.
As a side note, all of the mentioned rape files read COERCION, meaning none of the above are instances of statutory rape. I don't think statutory rapists are even considered dangerous enough to be in the database, so what the above men did was forced.
I mean, I just don't understand how this is possible. I've always read about ridiculous sentences for sex offenders, but I guess I never really fully absorbed it until reading all of this. This doesn't makes any sense to me. You can sexually assault a four year old and spend less time in prison than if you were caught with two ounces of cocaine. Absolutely disgusting.

Yesterday I went insane. Like...jealous, hyperventilating, Amy Fisher insane.
...but I've gotten a grip on reality since then, so yay. I was just blindsighted by my momentary insanity.
Okay, so no more crushes on men who are:
gay
practically engaged
already married
close friends
the same age as my grandfather
teachers and/or circuit coaches (that hasn't happened in lonnnng time, so I guess I'm making progress!)
What's left?!
