death by airplane

Mon, 12 Jun 2006 19:15:21 GMT

I leave for LA tomorrow. I'm pretty convinced that I'm going to die in a plane crash on my way there. I hate flying, and I can't believe I let my sister convince me to go. My mom won't let me back out of it either. I think she wants me to die.

If I make it there alive though, it should be pretty sweet. I might come back with (gasp) a tan. I think the last time I had a tan was about 4 years ago, when I actually went outside for extended amounts of time. I'm pretty thrilled about not looking like an ICU patient anymore.

Anyway, I'll talk to you all later. OR WILL I?
Ok, I'm done.

Tue, 21 Feb 2006 05:07:14 GMT

dear mike,
I'm stealing your letter writing for my entry.
I hope you don't mind.
thankfully,
shannon

dear petra (my 3-d teacher),
thanks for making really annoying projects and just giving really unhelpful suggestions.
also, thanks especially for this wood project that causes me pain every time I work on it and well after I've finished chiseling for the day. I really like feeling my bones grinding together in my wrist when I move it.
angrily,
shannon

dear kurt vonnegut,
I love you. We share birthdays. You are amazing, and I wish that I could be your friend or go back in time and marry you (just kidding gabe..). I can't wait to see you talk.
lovingly,
shannon

dear gabey,
a year ago today I was probably crying over you. I wish I could back in time and tell the past me that you will decided to date me in two days time, and a year later we are still madly in love. That would have cheered me up. It also probably would have freaked me the hell out cos we all know time travel backwards just isn't logical. anyway... you probably won't even read this, but...
I love you with all my heart. forever.
shannon

dear arvind,
you make me laugh. thanks for being my friend. and thanks for bringing me ace bandages.
love,
shannon

dear tiffy and jess,
I can't wait 'til next year. You are both amazing. <3.
your future roomie,
shannon

dear adam,
I can't wait to see you. I miss you. You know that.
love,
shannon

dear jym ganahl,
whenever I see you on TV I feel bad.
I'm sorry we drank to your ugliness.
regretfully,
shannon

dear ronald mcdonald,
I don't feel bad for drinking to your ugliness.
you're ugly. and creepy.
standing firmly by my decision,
shannon

Tue, 07 Feb 2006 06:11:41 GMT

this hurts so bad.

ow.

These things may or may not occur.

Mon, 02 Jan 2006 09:42:12 GMT

In the past, my new year's resolutions have never lasted past january. However, I've decided to make several for this upcoming year. Here goes.

Shannon's New Year Resolutions:

1. Be less of a bitch to people I like. (I think not being a heinous bitch to people I don't like was asking for a bit too much.)

2. Work out/Eat healthier/Be healthier in general.

3. Actually Study/Go to class to get good grades. Coasting doesn't count.

4. Study Japanese so I can speak to my grandparents in more than simple sentences.

5. Clean/organize/do homework/be productive instead of sitting on my ass after classes.

and lastly

6. Get another job. (And this time don't quit.)

Of course there are more things that I would like to do, but I guess I should just start here. Although I have a feeling that I am still biting off more than I can chew, perhaps having my resolutions written down will be more inspirational than intangible thoughts shoved somewhere in the back of my mind.

I feel like it is necessary to thank everyone for the wonderful birthday I had.

Not only did Lauren my bestest friend come up from Cinci, Adam came from BG and I missed them both so so so much.
Sunny called me and it was hilarious, and I can't wait to see her.
Steven Benjamin actually came down to campus! It was glorious.

I'm in love with all my new friends.
And my old friends.

I love Gabe for treating me so well, and I'm sorry that I kept him away from his research papers. I'm a bad girlfriend.

Ummmm yes. thank you Jessie, and Frankie for letting me have a party at your housey. sorry if i made a mess making mashed potatoes.

....I love everyone. I would name who, but I'm afraid of missing someone. If you came to my party(s) just consider yourself loved.

I feel dumb for making this post.

p.s. I normally hate birthdays and just cry a lot. thanks for not letting that happen.

Wed, 09 Nov 2005 06:31:03 GMT

I like how I'm updating just cos this little dude is SO CUTE. play with him.

Basically, I'm sweet. Shut up.

...

Thu, 13 Oct 2005 15:44:02 GMT

So...

I'm madly in love with Gabriel McDonald.
Didja know that?
Probably.

I'm sorry for posting this.
But not that sorry.

Fri, 30 Sep 2005 02:19:06 GMT

wary casanova: <3
we are vultures: <3
wary casanova: come up and visit me
wary casanova: come for the week you can sleep in my bed, and pass through my life like a dream in my head
wary casanova: it would be eaaasy
wary casanova: ya, it would be easy....

I miss adam.

on another note..

college is okay.

Tiffy is sweet. (thanks Arv for introducing us)
we get free beer cos we used to do gymnastics
but I don't like beer, so I just give it away.

I drank too much last weekend, and scared the shit out of people.
I'm so sorry.
Thanks for helping me though. I like being alive.

I'm always tired even though I get 8 hours of sleep a night.
It's getting annoying.

I'm getting skinnier cos I walk a lot.
hax0r.

I like gabe.
I like being able to sleep in his bed.

my drawing teacher finally likes the stuff I'm doing.
she says realism makes her sick
but I guess i'm okay at contour or something
cos she keeps saying my stuff is "beautiful".
whatev.
chuck close is still my lover.

Fri, 26 Aug 2005 22:22:54 GMT

List three random facts about yourself that your friends might not know. Then tag 5 people:

1. I can't sleep unless I'm on my stomach and my right arm is under my right hipbone, and my left arm is curled up kinda under my chest by my face on the left side. It's the only way I can fall asleep.

2. I have a tamagotchi and her name is Chuck. She's 4 years old, and she weighs 32 lbs.

3. I wish I owned a leaps and bounds.

I tag:
Lauren
Mike
Rachel
Sunny
Arvind

AND YOU BETTER DO IT OR I'M-A SMACK A BITCH. love, shannon.

Wed, 10 Aug 2005 02:36:44 GMT

1. Reply with your name and I'll respond with something random about you.
2. I'll tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.
3. I'll pick a flavor of jello to wrestle with you in. ( so that's weird.)
4. I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me.
5. I'll tell you my first memory of you.
6. I'll tell you what animal you remind me of.
7. I'll ask you something that I've always wondered about you.
8. Post this in your LJ.

Thu, 21 Jul 2005 08:37:47 GMT

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don't search around and look for the coolest book you can find. Do what's actually next to you

In all this the thing was to exclude everything with the sap of life in it, which always disturbs the regular round of official business, and not to admit any sort of relations with people except official relations, and then only on official grounds.
-The Death of Ivan Ilyich and Other Short Stories by Leo Tolstoy.

forgetting to put my oil paint pallet away and then my cat walking on it and getting red paint all over the carpet once... can be blamed on my crazy cat.

forgetting to put my oil paint pallet away and then my cat walking on it and getting brown paint all over the carpet again... is my stupid fault.

forgetting to put my oil paint pallet away and then my cat walking on it and getting blue and yellow paint all over the carpet for the third time in two days.... makes me a fucking idiot who should just kill herself. Or I can just wait for my mom to come home and kill me.

Mon, 25 Apr 2005 22:09:30 GMT

hahaha kathleen has to leave TWO MESSAGES. sucker.

Mon, 18 Apr 2005 02:03:56 GMT

Everything has been really sweet lately, and I have been consistently happy.

I took pictures this weekend and I'm so-fucking-excited about my next art project.

Mrs. Flanagan decided to inform me that there's an art show this thursday... oh... about two days ago. I may or may not attempt to paint something by then.

Governor's show was today and there are some seriously talented people in Ohio. Seriously. My dad came down for it. That was nice of him.

In two weeks, my sister is finally getting married. It looks like third time's a charm.

Things that I kinda want back from people (not to be mean):
The Dharma Bums (Alex--if you're done)
The Virgin Suicides (Laur)
Fight Club (Aqil)
The Faint CD-- Blank-Wave Arcade (Stella)
Nine Stories (Gabe-- When you're done. This is really more to remind me.)

Umm, and if anyone else has any of my things (which is very possible because I have a terrible memory) please tell me.
