03:04 pm - ARGH I got into all the classes I wanted, so at least that's that. But now my fucking bank wont accept my paycheck. They're like "we're sorry, we're a Chase-Manhattan. You's a Bank One" WTF? IT'S THE SAME FUCKING THING. Go on, go to www.bankone.com. Look at the upper left hand corner. What does it fucking say? Look at the upper right hand corner? What does THAT fucking say? Put it together! CHASE-MOTHERFUCKING-BANK ONE. So now I have a little less than $40 in my checking account, which I need to get home on Tuesday, and a check for a couple hundred dollars that I need to pay for shit like uhm...eating. But I can't get to it. FUCK. Current Mood: pissed off

Well, it means Wren is giving up her three day weekend, but then again, due to having a job, it no longer existed anyway. It also mean Wren only has to wake up once a week for a 10:00 class. Everything else is 11:00 or later. Also, note the night classes. This means more time for Wren to work and make money. I work better at night anyway, so perhaps I'll actually pay attention. Also less likelihood of sleeping through class, which I am so fond of doing. Urgh. That way, if I sleep through anything, it'll be work. And I can handle getting fired, I cannot handle failing out of college. What you guys think? Current Mood: accomplished Current Music: Hanson // Madeline (that's right, bitches, Hanson)

03:56 am - Melodrama I hate it. And now I'm paranoid that everyone I live with hates me. I mean, I finally get everything sorted and figured out, and BAM! Bullshit comes flying at me from every direction. I mean, I finally have my frosting eating date with Dan and all is fine, and then I come home and everything falls apart. You think I'd at least get some sort of appology. I don't feel like I'm wanted here. I'm not like everyone else and I know that, but never have I felt like it's been so much of a problem as I have now. It's not my fault. I'm sorry. I don't want to do this anymore. Current Mood: hurt

03:06 am - Her name was Rio... I can't sleep. First time I've had trouble in this city. It may stem from the fact that there is a weird boy sleeping in my room who has been banging my roommate like no tomorrow all weekend. I'm not bitter, I just think it's funny when she asks me for condoms. Why I possess all the condoms in our room I'm entirely unsure of, but the fact of the matter is that the Frisbee O' Condoms lives on my shelf. I'm in love with this city. I promised my mother I wouldn't walk around alone at night, but it's one of my favorite things to do. All you have to do is keep your head up, son, and look confident. I can be one sassy ass motherfucker but if you look like you know what you're doing, no one will fuck with you. I feel like I've finally found my home. Interlochen was wonderful and I felt so alive there, but here....here I feel like I'm myself. I'm nobody and everybody all at the same time, which is exactly what I have been looking for my entire life. The buildings make sense, the streets make sense, the ebbs and flows the crowds make sense. This is a city that functions on my logic, not anyone else's. And I love it because I can be poor and still eat like a king. Fuck fast food. Back in suburbia that was all I could afford. If you go to the right places...you can get great falafel for $2.00 and 5 (count em!) garlic knots for a dollar. People who pay $3.50 for a slice of pizza are chumps. And yet everytime I go out with friends, that's where we end up. Bah! New York City was supposed to be the meanest, baddest city. That's what everyone told me. Funny. Everywhere I go there are smiling people, having a good time, bumming around and being happy. Everywhere I go there's live music playing. Can ya dig it? Jazz in the park, guitar ballad on Macdougal, trash drums on Houston. I love it. If you play your cards right, Jesus Freaks will give you free packs of gum, and hippies will give you flowers. I love The Village. My favorite game so far: walking until I get lost and then finding my way home. Who needs to exercise when you have New York City as your playground? I think Tuesday I shall play and then skip off to meditate on Bowery with Ethan. I belong here. Belonging is such a nice feeling. Current Mood: chipper Tags: new york city

03:11 pm - Double Major So livejournal ate the post I made last night. Eh, whatever. I'm happy because my academic advisor, Janet, gave her blessing on my double major plans. She sad I had one of the best freshman year schedules anyone could get. I was scared to tell her about my film/tv dreams, but when I did she said 'it'll be hard...' and I told her I was crazy with work and she said 'I can see it in your eyes, your beady little focused eyes. You'd be fine with it. You have the determination, the mind set, the ambition. I can tell, you can do whatever you want in life. Anything. You could run a small country if you wanted to. Tell your mother that.' She said we'll talk in spring and we'll set it up. She'd make it happen. I'm so excited. And that was even before I told her my credentials. She said I would have absolutely no problems with getting my double major. And I think I am in the right place. Janet thinks I am too. I'm a writer. There were a few moments where I thought perhaps I should have just done straight up film/TV, but I was right all along. This is the place for me. My advisor said I was in the department for all of the right reasons. I think I'm going to thrive. I'm happy. Content. Excited. Interlochen was home, but I think NYU and NYC are going to be home too. Current Mood: really fuckin' ecstatic!

02:57 pm - More of a reminder to myself If you have not seen Jan Svankmajer's Dimensions in Dialogue (or Moznasti Dialogu in the original Czech), I command you try as best as you can to see it. It took me over a year to track down the title of the most amazing piece of stop-motion animation I have seen in my life. But I finally found it. It is one of my favorite shorts of all time. It's on the VHS Alchemist of the Surreal and the DVD Collected Shorts of Jan Svankmajer. Believe me, it is possitively amazing. It's the only short that has made me cry. If I had the spare cash to buy the DVD, I would. First thing I'm buying myself when I have a steady job. Honest. Current Mood: jubilant

03:04 pm - I am no longer who you thought I was. Woke up obscenely early for me (7:30) and took a shower. Agonized over what to wear for court before saying screw it and throwing on some jeans and a tshirt. Drove to the county courthouse with my mother. I successfully got through the damn metal detector without having anything confiscated! Yay! My case was called first at 9:05, even though I wasn't scheduled until 9:30. I handed the judge the proper documents, he glanced over them, and signed me into legal existence. My old identity has fallen away from me and from its ashes my new self has risen. I am not that little girl anymore. Not the one who stopped growing up at nine. She has been clinging desperately to this body, trying to preserve the idea of her identity, but I'm free of her now. I am no longer bound to her little girl handwriting, her callous name calling, her joy of confusing the masses. I am finally myself. Legally yours, Wren Edward Roberts Current Mood: giddy

04:16 pm - Die Motherfucker So two days ago I was walkin my dog. And a wasp landed on me. And stung me. ON THE FUCKING ELBOW. It hurt so bad. I was crying for an hour because it just hurt so much. I even took advil, if that's any indication on how much it hurt. I mean, I'm no pansy, but that really hurt. I mean, the elbow is probably one of the worst places to be stung. The only places worse I can think of are back of the knee, between your fingers, and between your toes. But then again, heroin addicts shoot up in all those places so it can't hurt too much there. My arm is still sore and my elbow still stings a bit. And itches. But holy dying Jesus, Batman, I haven't been in that much pain in a long time...if ever. Even getting that wart frozen off the bottom of my big toe was a walk in the park compaired to this. That mosquito that flew into my eye and was so gracious enough to leave its wings glued to my cornea? A pile of feathers! My head being smashed into a brick wall followed rapidly by blacktop? Jolly good time. Splitting my lip open on the street? Sign me up again! It hurts. :( Current Mood: ow, motherfucker! Current Music: Rilo Kiley // Science vs. Romance

07:39 pm Sadness is what you feel when you finally realize how crippled your music collection is after a harddrive failure months ago. Sadness is what you feel when you realize all your dancey music is gone. When your computer eats David Bowie for no reason. Sad. Current Mood: sad Current Music: Deerhoof // Sound the Alarm

04:22 pm - I am a Badass. Went to a swinging party at my best friend's house from 2nd grade until 9th grade. Not only did we overflow her hottub, but we uh...pitched three tents. It was kinda sad. Only half the people who said they'd be there showed up, and all but 4 people bailed on spending the night. And there were no drugs at all. And the drinking didn't start until we were in the tent at 4:30am. We had a glow in the dark shot glass that was obscenely bright. I had my first taste of alcohol. A quarter shot of Kahlua. I know. I'm such a badass. I win! Current Mood: sleepy

03:53 pm - Hmmm...COTA can suck my left nut. So I'm in Columbus. It took quite a bit of hassling to get from the airport to Ben's place of work, and then finally his place of residence. He was going to pick me up, but he didn't. So I got to hop in a taxi and be like "ahhh! I need to go to North High Street!" And after turning the wrong way a couple of times, we finally ended up at The Loft Violin Shop where Ben was waiting for me. He was a bit surprised to see me hop out of the cab wearing a miniskirt. Oh well, a girl can't really travel if she can't manage in a miniskirt. Call it practice for New York. Decided to take the bus back to the Ohio State University campus. He's staying in a huge grey building with pillars that seem entirely unnecessary, right across the street from main campus. His studio is decently sized and I can actually walk on the floor without freaking out! All the Buckeye stuff though is seriously freaking me out. It is scary to the max. We had excellent icecream the first night I was here down past Hudson. 20 minute walk because the fuckin bus never came. The bus finally zoomed past us 5 minutes from the place. Grrr. It was evil. The only time the bus has really worked for us is when we went to Blockbuster (finally saw Monty Python's The Meaning of Life. Great movie, I must say). Otherwise it's been sketch. We went to Steak N Shake though last night just in time to eat milksakes and fries whilst watching Family Guy. Huzzah! And now I'm alone in this apartment since he is out working. Le sigh. If I knew Bernard or Pete's number, I might even venture a call to them. Maybe. Maybe. PS. Columbus fails as a city. Current Mood: calm
