Crazy
I'm crazy for feelin' so lonely
I'm crazy
crazy for feelin' so blue
I knew you'd love me
as long as you wanted,
And then someday you'd leave me
for somebody new

Worry
why do I let myself worry?
Wonderin'
what in the world did I do?
Oh, crazy
for thinkin' that my love
could hold you
I'm crazy for tryin'
and crazy for cryin'
And I'm crazy for lovin' you

Crazy
for thinkin' that my love
could hold you
I'm crazy for tryin'
and crazy for cryin'
And I'm crazy for lovin'
you

Patsy Cline, Crazy.


I'm still thinking about beauty and humans and people's brains. It's been on my mind for weeks now, and it keeps getting new fuel, such as:

  • Plastic Fantastic - the tv show featuring people undergoing plastic surgery. So far I've seen detailed photage from the operation rooms of two complete facelifts, a breast augmentation, and last night - rhinoplastic. I had no idea our nouses consisted of so much goo and things 8(

  • My cousin has lost 44 lbs(22 kilos) in about a month. For the first time ever, he's no longer chubby. I'm feeling quite a lot of pressure of doing something like that, but I don't FEEL like it, so I guess I'll just stick to being the blob in the family.

  • Geek Love - now that's a book to shake your image and thoughts on beauty, bodies and people.

I don't know. I think I need something to sidetrack on. Something like ...


A New Obsession!

(I couldn't HELP it, Jessica! 8()

Jeff Goldblum

Jeff Goldblum.

He just looks so stunning in black. And I have a thing for big noses. And he's so TALL. And I really really liked 'Earthgirls are easy'. FORGIVE ME ARGGGHHHHH.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Jessica! =>8)

Love you, Bunnica, and I'm so happy you're going to Toronto after all (even though I must admitt, I'm all jellys' coz I still haven't had an opportunity to meet you =()


I decided to throw myself a party last night. I suppose it's not surprising for you to learn most of the party consisted in devouring a lot of yummie food things throghout a rather stretched out period of time ...

Intending a quiet slow evening, I strolled out into the kitchen as I returned home after a day of spodding and oh:

  • 7.30 pm - Munched down a peanut butter and raspberry jam sandwhich while trying to figure out what to make for real dinner.

  • 8.25 pm - Had the actual dinner; a large, stuffed zuchinni with plenty of rice and melted cheese, cucumber salad, and a nice bottle of rather cheap white wine.

Decided it was time to stop fiddeling about in the kitchen, so I went downstairs to my room and started shimmying with the left over wine in one hand, bunny ears on my head, and my cd player blaring out things from the 1980's I like to rattle to.

  • 9.30 pm - Upstairs again, watching Plastic Fantastic again ... this time they showed rhinoplasic. BrRrrrr.

  • 10 pm - Yey. Seinfeld rerun I've never seen before.

  • 11 pm - found a bag of cherries. Tied knot after knot on cherry stems with my tongue. Yeah ... I used to be a huge Twin Peaks fan.

  • 11.35 pm - Watched 'Bodies. Rest. Motion.' I'm quite enthralled by Bridget Fonda's devilish smile. It's so cute how she has a grin quite like Jack Nicholson.

  • 1.20 am - back in my room, putting on an interesting make up involving a lot of glitter and eyeliner. Ohh.

  • 2.30 am - Back UPstairs. Dug out a pound of icecream with strawberries and munched on, while watching Starship Troopers. Wondering how come when they blow up one of the big bugs, the same orange goo that was inside the gigantic earth worms in Tremors comes out. Hmm.

  • 4.15 am - after fast forwarding the previous movie, I find some left over vodka and orange juice, and have a second party watching Romy and Michele's High School Reunion. It's ridiculous how much I enjoy that movie.

  • 5.30 am - Ended up in my room listening to Patsy Cline, getting moody. Fell asleep with my clothes still on.


I'm just thinking about how much I love watching Romy & Michele's High School Reunion. There are so many girls (and boys) I'd love to drag down from where they got to be all throughout High School because (here we go again) they were pretty, and was how you were supposed to be.

The thing is - I got to KNOW several of these girls, and I'm not trying to be jellys and mean, NO, I just feel like ...

They're really hairy dried up flower seeds that will never grow - even if you plant them nicely and water them, because they don't want to, and you bought them because they had such a nice cover with colourful big flowers on, and you wait season after season for them to sprout and live up to their cover, but they won't. Instead they just sit and sulk and demand you try a different brand of fertilizer, because it's all YOUR fault, never theirs.

Okay I think I lost my train of thought there. I don't know. I always liked the little seed bags with pictures of carrots and lettuce anyways.

Who's the black private dick that's
a sex machine to all the chicks?

Shaft!

Damn right.
Who is the man that would risk his
neck for his brother man?

Shaft!

Can you dig it?
Who's the cat that won't cop out when
there's danger all about?

Shaft!

Right on.
They say this cat Shaft is a bad mutha...
-Shut yo' mouth!
But I'm talkin' about Shaft...
-And we can dig it.

He's a complicated man, but no one
understands him but his woman.

Isaac Hayes, Shaft.

(I'd like to note, I've never seen the movie or anything, I just found the song on a tape last night.)


Had a bad dream where I slashed two people to death until all that was left was their bones. Disgusting 8(

Then I woke up around 7.30 am from tummy ache, and didn't go back to bed when I was ... done. I haven't been up that early all summer. Heh. Of course, I went to get online at 9 am, as opposed to after noon.


I'm going to a birthday party tonight. My little friend Victoria turns four years old today. Hooray! :)


I'm so excited. This man that works at this place promised to download CuSeeMe for me when I get here monday morning. Yey! I'll get to see, if not the actual Jessica I can poke, then at least a video image of her ... yey!

I'm going to bring my bunny ears, and maybe a few of my toys, and ooo I'll pre make signs and ooo who knows whatelse. We'll see monday, I hope :)

I'm so excited!

Jessica, the first time we did CuSeeMe
Jessica, blowing me a kiss 8)


I miss Aziza. I got a post card from her a week ago from Egypt, and she's been on a few times, but blergh ... I miss her. As I was thinking about that, while walking between these two libraries I frequent, she managed to log on, and send ME mail saying she misses ME. How psychic. :=)


Remember Crazy Farmer's Days? No? Well they're happening all over again next weekend. I wonder if they'll be as exciting as last years.


I'd also like to note something I forgot to mention about wednesday. When I came home in the evening, I noticed my granny had a visitor. I walked in anyways, and discovered it was ... My cousin Roger, whom I haven't met since I was a wee girl of 10 or so.

It felt VERY VERY odd, I must say, but he seemed like a nice man. In the 10 minutes we chatted, I noted that he looks _a lot_ like his dad, his girlfriend is a florist, and they're going to attend a concert with Aqua.


My number one fan made me a a profile page!. Thank Ghod I'm HER number one fan too 8)

Jeff Goldblum
Jeff Goldblum.

I've decided to spend today's big box talking about Jeff Goldblum, my latest obsession. "Yey!!, I hear you all cheer, "it's about TIME you brought up Jeff Goldblum in your diary!"

Well. I tried to surpress it. Many times I've been watching a Jeff movie (such a The Fly), and thought "OOoo", but then promptly forgotten all about it the next day. However, after having watched The Big Chill, Independence day and Lost World last week, it became clear that it would take much more than usual to forget about his wonderful lanky appearance, and his wit in these movies.

Then, Ben managed to mention Earth Girls Are Easy in a conversation yesterday, it was all apparent to me. Jeff Goldblum is amazing, even when covered with blue fur.

After going through several fan sites for Jeff (I'm sure wouldn't mind me calling him by his first name oooh no.) I've discovered a few things:


Theories and conclusions on Jeff Goldblum.
I base this upon reading a transcript of a webchat he attended where he got to speak with fans:

  • Jeff is a foodie, and very, very friendly.

      Exhibit A:
      Question: I live in Louisiana. Have you ever been to Mardi Gras and do you like cajun food ?

      Jeff_goldblum says, "I've never been to Mardi Gras! I'd love to; I wanna be part of a big Jazz parade and even put on one of those great, bit giant heads! And I love Cajun food; the spicier the better. What're you gonna make me?"

      Exhibit B:
      Question: How closely does the plot of the movie follow that of the book?

      Jeff_goldblum says, "Just a little bit. Starveling. Are you getting enough to eat? Is that why you're called 'Starveling'? Let's go get a baloney sandwich!"

      Exhibit C:
      Question: After all these years......have you remembered your mantra yet? (Reference to movie where his character lost his mantra)

      Jeff_goldblum says, "Yes, I remember now! Now, let's everybody go to my house for a pizza!"

      Exhibit D:
      Question: You said you'd be touring for LW where will you be going? Canada perhaps... PLEASE!??

      Jeff_goldblum says, "I love Canada. I made three movies there. The tour is set up: I know I'll be going to Europe and Japan and Australia, I think, I hope Canada. I'd like to drop by each of your houses! Would you make me a snack?!?"

  • Jeff loves exclamation points, and laughing maniacally.

      Exhibit A:
      Question: Every actor has a different connection. What do you think is your connection with you audiences?

      Jeff_goldblum says, "I love to do it, and I sneak in the back of the theatres to see the audience, sometimes, and I like when they are entertained!!!!!!!!!! Wild laughter!!"

      Exhibit B:
      Question: Who would win a fight between brundlefly and a raptor?

      Jeff_goldblum laughs hysterically.
      Jeff_goldblum throws his head back, cackling with glee.
      Jeff_goldblum says, "Well Mr. or Miss Skernis, I think the raptor would win!"
      Moderator says, "Come on Jeff....Brundlefly was pretty tough!"
      Jeff_goldblum says, "Alright! Maybe I would win!"

      Exhibit C:
      Question: When at mardi gras would you show your chest for free beads?

      Jeff_goldblum throws his head back, cackling with glee.
      Jeff_goldblum laughs hysterically.
      Jeff_goldblum says, "I just pulled up my shirt, right now!"


    I'll close off this entry with the cutest answer:

    Mr. Goldblum, aside from being a dino person, are you a dog person or a cat person?

    Jeff_goldblum says, "I love both doggies and kitties. I could just scrunch up their cute little faces!"

    Jeff Goldblum

    a Sad Jeff Goldblum story:

    (From a girl whose father lived in Jeff's neighborhood when they were kids)
    "my dad and his friends used to be playing b-ball out in the street ... and Jeff was kinda a nerd unfortunately :-(

    He would stand beside where they were playing and say, 'May I please play ..? May I please play ..?' kinda shyly.

    He'd have to leave real fast cause his mom would call him in to practice piano"

    Isn't that just the SADDEST? Poor, poor Jeff.


    I fell asleep on the couch upstairs, and forgot to wake up and go down to my real bed. Ouch.


    I feel very hissy. I logged on to #analove, and someone else has my nick! _I'M_ lana, not that ... person. *grumble*

    It's my own fault, I guess, I've barely been there the past 2 months, because ... well, I'm in a different timezone now, the people I used to talk to aren't there when I can get there. It feels sad, in a way, not only because I miss them, but I also miss the way I could just log on there, and have people greet me and all that, because I was a regular.

    I don't know if I can bother getting back on there regularly and brand a new name. *shrug*


    Question: Why is the guy next to me talking to himself? (" .. and then a comma, and the I'll click here and read this okay let's see what was the address...")

    I can see talking to yourself if you're alone at home, I'm a severe chatterbox in my room (I also enjoy talking to my furniture. My teevee has a great personality.), but in public near people?

    Okay, I guess I've done it too ... yesterday I got into a giggle fit as I was walking in between libraries. I giggled out loud as I was walking for 20 minutes. At one point, a guy passed me walking, and when I started to giggle again, he turned around with this 'huh?' smile, and I had to stutter "no not you honest".

    I'm good at irrational behaviour.

    I've decided to make my first vegetable soup ever. It's kind of a dumb idea, as the only thing I usualy like eating in vegetable soup is the potatoes, but I figured it'd be a nice thing to know how to make when it gets cold and icky next fall and I'm over there in America.

    Lucky me, my favourite TV cook, Keith Floyd (I think that's his full name, we just call him Floyd) is back on Swedish TV. Yes. Of course I have a favourite TV cook. 8)

    This time, he's doing SCANDINAVIA! This means he'll be travelling around in Scandinavia in his shows, cooking things with local ingredients. Unfortunately, he started out in Norway in his first show. I've never seen so much boiled fish and potatoes swimming around in icky sauces before 8(. Big disappointment.

    Usualy Floyd is travelling somewhere exotic, like 6 shows in France, or Australia, or something like that, and he's (in?)famous for gobbeling down wine and other liquids while cooking.

    I think they should skip Scandinavia, and just rerun the France episodes again - I don't think I've ever drooled as much in front of the telly screen as I did when I watched then. I'm driven even more mad by the show, seeing as he usualy cooks meat dishes of different sorts, so I know that even if he was cooking in my kitchen, I wouldn't want or be able to eat any of it, since I'm a vegetarian (Yey, working on my 6th year :)

    Oh ghod, wouldn't that be the ultimate torture? Floyd in my kitchen, pouring large amounts of garlic and wine and herbs and chicken into his pretty pots, while I'd be tied up in a chair, forced to smell it. Arrrrrgh nightmare 8(.

    I really need to get over this food thing. My mouth starts to water everytime I start writing about anything food related in this diary, and my mind start off producing all these images and scent-memories. Argh.


    Talking about Alex Trebek at CN:

    lateX - Josh | aLanis - Me.

    aLanis say 'i wonder if alex trebek is married'
    lateX dunno
    aLanis say 'coz it would be weird if alex trebek is dating'
    aLanis say 'alexz trebek putting on de moooves'
    aLanis say '"i gotta pretty succesful show, y'know"'
    aLanis say '"i make up the answers myself, y'know"'
    lateX ask 'when alex trebeck has sex does the person he's with have to moan in the form of a question?'
    aLanis say '"What is Ooo OOoo OOOoooooo ... ooo"'
    lateX burps
    aLanis say '"no, sorry, you ran out of time. tune in next week for a new exciting game"'

    Heh. Yeah yeah I'm not that funny really whatever.


    Today's Amazing Jeff Goldblum Fact!

    Jeff can roll his stomach like a belly dancer, and has been able to do it since he was a kid. He can also wiggle one ear!


    Happy 4th of July, Americans. Be sure to watch nice patriotic feelings booster movies like Outbreak, Air Force One, and of course, the biggest of them all - Independece Day.

    Monday, July 6

    I spent last night jumping about, dressing up, and all. I took a long bath, so perfectly warm I nearly felt asleep in it.

    As I couldn't sleep, I decided to make myself a super villain costume. I ended up strapped up/in black garter belt, stockings, shorts, bra, see through shirt, lots of eyeliner, black lip stick and bunny ears. Just your average Bad Guy. Or, perhaps, just your average Prostitute Bunny. Ick. =8(


    Jessica: She still likes Jeff Goldblum. Send somebody you love a Goldblum O'Gram today!


    She was in a Devo mood today so...

    He's been with the world
    I'm tired of the soup du jour
    He's been with the world
    Wanna end this prophylactic tour
    Think that no one around me
    Understands my potato
    Think I'm only a spudboy
    Looking for a real tomato

    Me and Jessica doing CuSeeMe.

    Well... this is what would have been here had it not been for a particular person uploading her images while Jennie was being ushered out of a Swedish library...

    Hi, I'm Jessica. You might remember me from such diaries as Mental Sewage. Today I'm here to complete this entry, which was supposed to be about me and Jennie having some more fun on CU-SeeMe. Some of you may recall that the last time we did this was on September 6 of last year.

    Anyhow..., here are a couple pictures for now. I'm not sure about uploading all of the images to her Geocities account (I can't believe how much she has on here...) so I'll just put up two for now.

    me jessica

    Jennie wore her bunny ears for the occasion and was a bit worried that she wouldn't get to "C" me. But she did. And if you'd like to see the rest, then don't be afraid to go to my site and take a look at what I call CU-SeeMe Madness!

    Me, Graduating High School.

    I needed an excuse to get to go upstairs and use the NICE computer in the library, with different image programs available for use on it, so I made up some story that I had a picture I just HAD to have scanned, and snuck up with ... this.


    Hehehe. I was as surprised as you must have been when Jessica made a whole entry in here on my behalf yesterday. And lovely it was. (as is she :)


    On a totaly unrelated note: Kafka the Kitten disappeared last night, only to emerge this morning ... walking out from the little space underneath the sink where my granny keeps her trash.


    HellOOooo...

    Aaaargh! There must be a spirit out there who decided it was time all my cells felt like they were made out of gold and diamonds and dandelions today, because everywhere I look, there's love and friendship and big, soft hearts. *mush*

    It's so weird. When I get depressed, my mind goes dark and blank and numb, as if I've been sunk into a tub of water and ice cubes for years gone by and years to come, and I can't bring myself to write a thing.

    When I'm happy, my mind goes brighter than sunlight, a million colours and thoughts and words and people and feelings swirl around in a space that seems infinite, but has to be small enough to fit into this skull I have. And yet it goes just as blank when it's time to write something down.

    Therefore, I'll illustrate my mood swings by a song that describes love as I've always known it, wether it be to guys who'll stomp all over me, or last nights amazing dinner. Of course it's a Bjork song, what else?


    It's, oh, so quiet
    It's, oh, so still
    You're all alone
    And so peaceful until...

    You fall in love
    Zing boom
    The sky above
    Zing boom
    Is caving in
    Wow bam
    You've never been so nuts about a guy
    You wanna laugh you wanna cry
    You cross your heart and hope to die

    'Til it's over and then
    It's nice and quiet
    But soon again
    Starts another big riot

    You blow a fuse
    Zing boom
    The devil cuts loose
    Zing boom
    So what's the use
    Wow bam
    Of falling in love

    It's, oh, so quiet
    It's, oh, so still
    You're all alone
    And so peaceful until...

    You ring the bell
    Bim bam
    You shout and you yell
    Hi ho ho
    You broke the spell
    Gee, this is swell you almost have a fit
    This guy is 'gorge' and I got hit
    There's no mistake this is it

    'Til it's over and then
    It's nice and quiet
    But soon again
    Starts another big riot

    You blow a fuse
    Zing boom
    The devil cuts loose
    Zing boom
    What's the use
    Wow bam
    Of falling in love

    The sky caves in
    The devil cuts loose
    You blow blow blow blow your fuse
    When you've fallen in love

    ssshhhhh...


    I'll go find some dandelions to munch on with my eyes. Bye. :)
