holy shit, the neighborhood. becca and josh live two streets down and i just found out that rob lives only one street away. plus sarah is great and she lives down my hallway.
Other than the part where i am totally sad, i am really really happy. i've started hanging out with people again and everything. if you can believe that.
love, bridget

It's friends-only until I get my head on straight; until I'm ready to interact in society again. But you'll be back in time for that. You'll start missing me and the freckles on my knees and I'll start learning to say and do the things that I mean to say and do.
And it will all happen just in time for us to make everything right again, I think.

Last night was fantastic. I went swimming in the dark and mary anne went to her boyfriend's house. i guess they have reached some new point in the relationship because she sleeps over there on weeknights now. at first it made me lonley but now it makes me glad because after i go swimming at night I can stumble inside my room and do whatever i want just like i did last night.
Not that i did much at all. I put a hoodie on over my bathing suit and went to sleep just like that with my face planted in my pillow and it ruled. Now my sheets smell like chlorine so i guess i should wash them. but im secretly hoping that all of my nights will end this way, so maybe i'll hold off on the laundry for now. chlorine sheets for life!
ok hey, when i went to visit micki in killer cali this spring break, we went over to her boyfriend's grandparents' huggggge house and they had this amazing pool. we didnt swim in it because we had other plans (movie plus In-N-Out by the fireplace) but good greif it was one of the prettiest pools I had ever seen in my life. I love pools.
One night during summer '01, my then-boyfriend nick took me to this friend of his mom's friend's whoever's house in La Porte. The house was so big and nice and it was right on the water with a beautiful view. Just me, nick, and his best friend jimmy. Heck no, of course there weren't any parents! The owners were out of town! and Nick was old enough to drive and had his own car! just three kids driving in a fucking car to a house on the lake with zero parents and one pool. It was a great pool with colored lights and those rocks all around the edges and a whole lot of plants to make you feel like you're in paradise, or whatever. And it did feel like paradise until nick spotted a HUGE SPIDER or maybe even a TARANTULA walking around on the surface of the water in the pool (i had no idea they could even do that!). I'll admit that I don't know what makes a spider a tarantula and i'm too lazy to figure it out. but nevermind what it was-- it was at least BIG and SCARY.)
i had to do everything in my power not to scream shrill like girl but i did get out of the water really fast. nick grabbed a broom and stuck the end of it into the water so that the spider could climb onto the end. then Nick walked over and pointed the spidered stick toward me and i got so mad and yelled "NICK!!!!!!!!" and then he stopped and laughed. and then i laughed too. And we dried off and got back into his car and rolled down the windows and drove back home while jimmy sat in the back seat talking about who knows what. Jimmy was ALWAYS in the back seat and i NEVER knew what he was talking about.

okay. My scedule is all worked out and it goes URB URB ARC POR ARH and i think that will be just fine. no class on fridays and i think that will be just perfect.
if I have your mailing address, i just sent you comic-strip clippings from the newspaper. because the drawer where i save them was getting too full and I didn't have the heart to throw them away. I'm going to be a great grandmother some day.
If i don't have your mailing address, maybe you should give it to me so i can have pen pals this summer.
(because in the previous paragraph i was only referring to 3 people, one being my mom)
love,

last night a fire alarm went off because something exploded in our building, or something. and i had to sit on the sidewalk from 1-2am with no books to read, only my knees to rest my head on. I was really tired while we were sitting out there but the feeling passed once I finally got to lie down in my bed. worst night of sleep ever!
okay our room has been spotless for a record two weeks now and i loveeee it. i really do love this room. i think ive already said that? its pretty huge in comparison to the other dorm rooms on campus. we have wood floors (not linoleum), soft lighting (not fluorescent), big corner windows (with a 3rd-floor-view), and vaulted nooks for our dressers! and it just looks nice because maryanne and i actually decorated. last year I think my dorm room just had some mardi gras beads hanging up in the corner. gross. it wasnt my corner by the way.
( plus, maryanne and I do a pretty okay job balancing each other out )
bye

The google satellite maps have taken over my life. All I do now is look at all the cities I haven't made it to and zoomed in and out, further in and further out. And, of course, I have 7706twoed the shit out of the search field. I like it because I can go down I45 and look at the waves on Galveston. and down red bluff to see the high school that I already barely remember. I like Pasadena because the chemical plants look like polka dots. the track where I ran my fastest 400 and to all of the places where nick and i used to makeeee outtttt. and the pier at clear lake park where Simon and I went crabbing last summer, using fried chicken wings (cajun; extra hot) as bait.
google maps, reevaluating whats important in my life, and that's about it.

There aren’t many things that I love more than watching people sign while they speak. Its so much prettier than anything! Sometimes I try to use a lot of hand gestures when I talk to get the same effect, but i think it just comes off as looking sofa king stupid. If I knew sign language, you could bet I’d be using it all of the time.
Things I want to learn:
1. sign language
2. Portuguese
3. to play the piano
4. to function in social situations
thats all for right now.
I’m so tired of school and learning and studying and making my little eyes focus on little things. I need new places to study, I think. I'm starting to burn out on everywhere I usually go.
Today I bit into an apple that was all black inside! and I went to a review session that seemed pointless. I ran into a friend from last year and followed him around for, like, ever. And i decided that I have picked up too many bad habits this year. Im going to revert to the bridget of yesteryear and not eat meat or drink for awhile. i havent done either for like two weeks so i'm sort of on a roll, i guess. hello, i love making rules for myself.
be nice and do cute things for your friends!

I got alot done today, thank goodness. Lots of notes in the margins of my books. some not even school related, but that's fine. I did portugues homeowrk for most of the night in the PCL. Maryanne was there too, studying for a test. When I got up to leave she wasnt at her table, so I left her a goodnight letter which i just noticed is next to her bed right now. For some reason i'm really touched that she didnt throw it away (yet!). Ive been so worried with my own stuff latley that we just kind of stopped talking for awhile and i hate that. roommates should always be sweet to one another.
I'm glad I looked up at the clock at 9:12 tonight and remembered to listen to micki's radio show. Sorry I keep flirting with you this week, micki. I just can't stop.
she's beautiful! i don't know where this picture came from, by the way. i think i stole it from heather?
Never forget the people you love or the suburb you grew up in,

My cousin just had his third child. This actually isn't her; its a picture of his second child. which will have to do since it's all i have.
I love babies and i love families. Especially my own. I'm glad that my family is so huge and smart and amazing. I'm so glad to be a part of that, i guess. mushy mushy mushy.
I am looking foward to things smoothing out in my life and i wonder when that will happen? I feel like all of these good things are coming my way. time to get over last semester and last month and last week, etc. I have felt so out of sorts latley.

good morning, sunday. this morning when i took a shower, the shampoo came out in my hand in the shape of a heart!
Yesterday I read a little bit but not nearly enough. I went to buy a fish but petco was only interested in selling me a beta. they are ugly and depressing (to me) so i said forget it. alot of yesterday was a waste of time.
here are two pictures about sleeping on a top bunk bed:

seriously, guys, what are we going to do??
Mary anne has the flu and so does one other girl on my hall. I'm chugging orange juice. Monday: paper, Tuesday: homework due, Wednesday: 2 exams, Thursday: one more. The homework isnt really a big deal, im just looking for pity.
other than that i'm crazy. But i've already said that and you all already knew. Next week I'm going to get myself back on scedule. Back to the gym, back to healthy food, and back to a reasonable bedtime.
I am a good friend. maybe not the kind of good friend who will go out to big parties and get crazy all the time. maybe not a girlfriend! but i am really good friend if you are into 1-on-1, reading, arts and crafts, being angelic, and sitting outside on sunny days. I may not be good at having a billion trillion friends, but i like to think that i'm really good at having just a few. It really kills me when i offer that to people and they wont take it!
love me,
bridget

I am listening to the best song of my life right now and i just found a pack of gum that i bought like a month ago in my desk. I freaking love gum tonight! I made a really fucked up move this morning and probably fucked up everything that is good. but for once, im just going to assume it will work itself out. all i want right now is to listen to this song, chew this gum, do my homework, and think about a few FANTASTIC people I have met in the last few months. seriously fantastic! and i love tiny puppies who run all over your body. and backbacks with sternum straps and new skirts and new shoes. and i love friends who you can make inappropriate jokes with, without feeling terrible about it afterwards. comma splice?! and i love talented people. dear everyone, let me be your girl. help me help you, help me help youuuuuu Bridget

god bless live jj for coming back. sometimes i get lonley and depend on my internet friends!
I am back in austin and very thankful for that. I am now a bigger fan of austin than clear lake, so what. I worked at my mom's office over the break, as an intern. The last college intern, who worked there before me, now works there as a full time employee. He used to intern at the office every winter and summer. When he graduated from college he moved straight back to clc! unbeleivable. And now he is moving into a house in brookforest. he's 22 years old. thats so weird to me.
I've been emailing sarah b. a lot latley, as i am starting to look for places for us to live. She is in Spain until may so i have really put myself in a scary situation. I called mary anne like 4 times from ikea the other week when i was trying to pick out a rug for our dorm room. now i have to pick out a house for someone!! eepies.
mary anne is still asleep in our room and i think she is like my little pet. she is so little and sleeps with so many blankets wrapped all over her; its precious. when she wakes up she starts making these meowing noises. she reminds me of my 1st grade bff, song. Song and I used to pretend we were dogs and her god-loving adopted parents would feed us snacks in bowls on the floor. and we would wimper at them when we wanted attention. We also had a ghost club that involved bikes, scarves, construction-paper safety kits, and passwords. that club (we were the only members) got too scary for me when Song showed me some scratches on her arm one day at recess. she said she knew they were ghost scratches because they had been there for over a week and not healed at all! she asked me if i had any ghost scratches and i said yes and showed her the ones on my knees. when they were gone a few days later she told me that i had betrayed her and we weren't best friends after that.
I saw zoe brant on campus this morning. i hope i see her alot this semester because she's great. her party this winter was probably one of the best nights i've had in forever. last night sucked because i was sick, friendless, and dillusional.
who wants to be friends this semester? leave a comment with y or n!

I think that any place can feel like home when its raining this hard. My room is so clean right now and the music im listening to is so good. Incredible things have been happening this week and all of a sudden i'm glad i'm in austin.
I'm not sure why I'm up playing on the internet right now when I've got so much to do! so much to do and an 8:00 class in the morning. obviously im addicted.
Tonight im thinking about alot of things. Mostly about next semester and the one after and so on. Im kind of sad that im leaving the fine arts school after how excited I was about it in the fall. I'm not really sure what I dont like about my studio classes. The projects are all flexible and of course creativity is encouraged. I dont know why i cant let myself take advantage of that? All of my projects from the beginning of the semester are much better than the ones from now. Its supposed to be the opposite, I guess. But instead of getting more comforatable with things and growing, I just start off excited and then get shy and small. Which pretty much applies to all other things in my life.
I still like drawing alot. I like it when im writing bullshit things in a lined spiral notebook and then the tail of my y turns into a horse with indians or something. and then it goes back to writing again. God i love spiral notebooks. why dont i marry them? well, I'm planning on it. I've got about 500 million billion spiral notebooks in my room in clear lake full of dumb things Ive written since third grade. Sometimes I feel like such a traitor when im writing on the internet or drawing on ms paint. because i like to do those things too. I wish I could put my computer in a notebook. or, i wish that when i printed things and glued them into notebooks, the hyperlinks would work! same goes for pictures on my computer versus pictures in a photo album. All im saying is that all of my things are split into two places and if there is one thing i hate, its when things are split up in two places. i mean, the other thing i am saying is: I wonder if i'll ever be satisfied with having everything on a computer?
uhhhhh
