wow. i just read a pretty detailed plot outline for attack of the clones. i haven't been able to find much about it at all, who knew it was as easy as looking on amazon.com? okay...see, anakin and obi-wan have to protect senator amidala because people keep trying to kill her. it can be assumed that this is connected to the movement against the republic. chancellor palpatine (yeah, he's bad) and darth tyranus are all about controlling the galaxy so they do bad things. anakin is assigned the job of protecting amidala and obi-wan is sent to investigate a strange clue. there are all sorts of fun action sequences...anakin & obi-wan chasing an assassin through the air traffic of coruscant, obi-wan battling jango fett, a big final battle with an army of jedi against battle droids and clonetroopers...oh, and a lightsaber battle where obi-wan & anakin fight darth tyranus. yoda gets to fight too! won't that be hilarious?! and anakin's mommy dies. :( poor kid. he retaliates against the sand people and you can see the EVVVVVIL. hehe. sorry. i'm excited. now i know the plot!

it amazes me how much i can sleep. i seriously went to bed at like 9:30 last night and i slept till 10. how do i DO that? it is now 11:44 and i'll i've done today is watch a christmas story. i figure twice in a week is plenty, right?

i don't know what i'll do now. my mom says the movies start at 4. i wonder if that's a subtle hint that she wants to go to the movies. sounds good to me. the only thing that's in town that i want to see is lord of the rings and i thought my mom wanted to go to the cool theater in des moines to see it, but i could be wrong...whatever.

i'd like to go to des moines and get a mocha ice since there is apparently a conspiracy against me having them. what is it with these conspiracies against me? what did i ever do to deserve this?

what on EARTH is my dad listening to? chants or something? i'm frightened.

i need to take my movie back. edward scissorhands. great movie. unless you're laura. she doesn't like it. i don't know what her problem is.

yesterday i saw an ad for black hawk down that i haven't seen before. i don't really see many ads anymore. it's amazing, you'd *think* all i do is watch tv but it's not true. the majority of what i watch is on the wb and they show like 3 commercials over and over again. i just happened to flip to "buzzworthy and beyond" on mtv and that was one of the commercials. which reminds me, isn't mandy moore on the regis & kelly thing this morning? eh, it's probably over by now. i guess i'll go see when the movies are on...

Apparently everything was a conspiracy.

12.24.01 | 10:09am

golden globe nominees have been announced! click here for the full article. in case you are lost, the golden globes are usually a good way to predict what will happen as far as oscar nominees and winners. there are still several movies that haven't been released yet ("ali" and "black hawk down," for example) that might do better after they've reached an audience since neither of them got a whole lot of golden globe attention. um yeah. just read the article. i'm excited for moulin rouge - six nominations! that's a great movie. oh, and reese witherspoon and legally blonde got nominations...i think that's really cool since a lot of times the comedies don't get much attention.

i'm hungry. i need breakfast.

Breakfast at 10am? WHO WAS THIS PERSON? Moulin Rouge IS amazing, though.

12.23.01 | 10:43am

I'M BORED!!!. i need to make a new layout for this site. i don't know what it'll be but...i'll come up with something. i'll be sad to see this one go though. i really like it. :( so i guess since i'm so bored i could probably attempt the layout thing. yeah...i'll do that.

And to think...just a few posts ago I was SO excited about winter break.

12.22.01 | 10:00am

ratingzone.com. fun times. it's like amazon.com recommendations except cooler because it doesn't recommend 600 christina aguilera singles if you say you like her CD. it is a little annoying to navigate, but you get used to it.

apparently my dad has it in his head that he wants a gamecube. he wants to spend his christmas money from my grandma on it. lol. i wouldn't mind having one, i could play rogue squadron! speaking of, my mom just uncovered a bunch of star wars band-aids that were hiding in the closet.

but yeah, i decided i need a new cd so i'm asking the ratingzone to tell me what to get. i'm a little tired. boo. i slept quite a bit last night. not 12 hours or anything, but still. my mom had lord of the rings-related nightmares. the only movie i've seen that i'm sure has been the source of a bad dream was braveheart. the end of that movie was soooo evil! hmm. i need to get away from the computer.

That does NOT sound like my dad. He has always been a bit of a technophobe.

I still remember that Braveheart nightmare. Severed body parts everywhere!

12.21.01 | 11:11pm

i'm extremely tired. i haven't had ANY time to sit around and be lazy in the past 48 hours. too much to do. i just got back from lord of the rings a bit ago. it was really good, but i started to get really irritated about 3/4 of the way through...i just wasn't in a movie-watching mood and it was starting to drag and the people behind me were loud and my mom kept telling me dumb stuff from the book that i didn't want to hear about while i was trying to watch and it was just not a happy thing. plus the ending made me say "what?" cuz um...there wasn't really an ending. i guess that's so you come back next year or something. but anyway, i'm going to have to see it again when i'm more into the movie thing. right now i'm just tired and hungry. but for whatever reason, i don't want to go to bed.

on a happier note, i don't have to go back to school now for many days. that will be good. today in gym we watched the french kid play ping pong and it was fun because he'd get really into it and start saying funny things with his french accent and it just made us all laugh. other than that...didn't really do a whole lot today. well, until after school. we had our mall performance...hey, i didn't drop my baton. but who really cares. i'm just glad it's over. the highlight was seeing adam run in with his hair sticking straight up. i guess jaime would have slaughtered him if he didn't show up so he came right after swimming was over and he didn't have time to wash his hair so...yeah. that made me laugh. but now i'm just tired so...goodbye!

That sounds like my mom.

I'm glad my high school gym class was culturally insensitive toward the French.

12.18.01 | 9:53pm

it amazes me that i NEVER get email. in a sad sort of way.

well...only 3 more days of school left. which is way too many, if you ask me. i would like to thank mr. laville for letting us watch a movie in english this week. granted, we have to write an ESSAY friday...but still, it's better than other things we could be doing.

i rented moulin rouge today and i thought it was really really good, actually. so...yay! lol. i got to see a rerun of gilmore girls with tristin. i feel sorry for him, he can't help it that he's emotionally unstable because of his parents and therefore is a huge jerk. huge jerks have feelings too. also saw a bit of undeclared. i'm not really into the fraternity thing so this episode didn't thrill me as much as some of the others. on the other hand, tonight's that '70s show was superb.

speaking of...i am contemplating the fate of that '80s show. on one hand, it has the same writers as that '70s show so it should be funny...but can you really have two shows that are basically the same except with different hairdos? i'm not sure. i guess i'll have to watch and find out, eh?

Oh god; I was a Tristan apologist. 

12.17.01 | 9:07pm

well...i tried to do the pink hair thing. it doesn't show up very well. i need to do more. AGAIN. i'm going to run out. i was trying to get the highlights to come from the bottom layer but it doesn't work quite the way i was hoping. oh well.

today was all sorts of fun. i took a crazy test in english...oh, and i found out i have to memorize a thing for spanish that we're presenting tomorrow...whatever.

today elisabeth did her "we're going to the lord of the rings, right?" thing. so...yeah, i guess we are! :) tomorrow i'm going to rent 'moulin rouge' and see if i like it. i have a feeling i will.

wow, laura's on. now i can talk to TWO people on icq. blah i don't feel like blogging.

I tried to do "the pink hair thing" over my recent holiday break from work. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

12.15.01 | 10:54pm

hmm i joined a couple cliques today...i really need to think of something fun to do on the site cuz i haven't been doing much in terms of updating. eh, oh well.

today after the excitement of finding a double bladed darth maul lightsaber on ebay i was roped into shopping with my mom. not fun shopping. grocery shopping. ugh. but i *did* get dark forces II out of the deal. now i can find all the cheat codes and win the whole game in one day. actually i can't play it for extended periods of time, it gives me a headache. well, just about any computer game does i suppose.

today i got $ in the mail from my grandma...before i even *saw* the check my mom grabbed it and was like "i'll give it to you after you write your thank you note" and went and hid it somewhere. she's such a freak sometimes. i'm going to go fall asleep or some such thing.

I THINK "cliques" were an online community of some kind; this wasn't some kind of bizarre Mean Girls ritual.

To this day I'm sad about Dark Forces giving me a headache.

Love that teenage perspective on my (quite lovely) mom.

12.15.01 | 12:15pm

remember the life as a house conspiracy? it continues. after going through mounds of troubles trying to see it like a month and a half ago, guess what movie is in town? life as a house. yep. isn't that the most evil thing ever? i thought SURELY by this point it was too late for it to come but nooo it's here. crazy movie theater.

i don't really have anything to do today. that's always fun. i wonder when laura's dance thing will be over. i *think* it's in the afternoon...but i might be wrong. it would be sad if it was at night cuz then we couldn't do anything fun. my mom and i were hoping the sneak preview of kate & leopold would be in town tonight but i don't have the slightest clue how i would find out. it's not on the website, though, so i'm assuming it's not around.

envy.nu is driving me up the wall. i can't LOG IN! it takes like 3 hours. how am i supposed to upload reviews when i can't even get into my account? i'm not excited.

No, I do not remember the Life as a House conspiracy.

12.14.01 | 2:16pm

strange things happened at school today. mr. haigh, the physics teacher, disappeared. well, he called in sick. but it was weird because his room is usually covered in posters but they were all torn down...like, the tape was still on the wall...and his speakers and audio equipment were gone...it was like he quit or something. mrs. wildt thought maybe he got fired but they give you like a week to leave when they fire you...vini says he was having trouble with a student and administration got involved so maybe that had something to do with it. who knows. it's all rather strange, if you ask me.

so...it's friday. i'm not doing anything. my usual partner in crime (laura) has a dress rehearsal or something. i'm okay though. i really just want to stay home and watch once and again. besides, vanilla sky isn't in town. i don't know what i'll do until 9 though.

i need to reread my short stories for the AP test on monday. okay, mr. laville gives us tests mrs. martin wrote and HE can't even pass them. how does he expect us to? i *think* it's curved. hopefully. but yeah, i have to read 9 dumb short stories so i can remember them. i'm already bored. ho hum. in sales jack brought all these snacks and just kinda tossed them on our desks. i had a lot of food to give away after that class. blah to being bored.

Kind of wish I could remember the situation with Mr. Haigh - sounds intriguing!

12.12.01 | 3:29pm

If I were a James Bond villain, I would be Dr Julius No. I enjoy fine dining, nuclear power, and initiating global war. I am played by Joseph Wiseman in Dr No. Who would you be? James Bond Villain Personality Test

awww i'm so proud to be dr. no!!! lol initiating global warfare, that's me!

Questionable as to whether I'd ever seen a James Bond movie at this point.

12.12.01 | 3:25pm

If I were a work of art, I would be Edvard Munch's The Scream. I express the subconscious troubles and anxieties of the world. I hold my head and let loose the primal terror of my innermost fears, surrounded by a lurid landscape which reflects my feeble grasp on reality. Which work of art would you be? The Art Test

LOL go figure.

Remember these? Teenage me did them often - unfortunately all the images and links are probably broken.

12.12.01 | 2:59pm

blah to baton. i don't feel like going. well, i don't mind MY class...i don't even mind the junior class...but the beginners make my head ache.

i was mighty ambitious and i did my magazine review already. i usually don't do them until thursday night. and i read our LAST short story. it was really messed up. i SO did not get the point. people try TOOOO hard to be deep and thoughtful. just make your point already!

my dad is listening to really bad music while he does the dishes and i am attempting to drown it out. *but i gotta kn-kn-kn-know what's your fantasy* let's see.

ooh, megan informed me that lifetime has once and again reruns...they show the previous week's epsiode on friday nights at 10. that makes me happy, considering how mad i am for missing last week's. now i can see it! ho hum. i need to remember to tell my mom to develop my pictures. well, nothing is really going on so i'm just gonna go be bored for a bit.

The beginning baton class was full of children, which is why it made my head ache. Children still make my head ache.

12.11.01 | 3:38pm

you know, i was talking about how no authority and five are underrated...so is blaque. sure, they have a terrible name and the whole "believe...life...everything" blah blah blah that they made up is dumb but they have some really good songs. for reals.

let's see. today i went to ap and listened to mr. laville blab about archetypes. he told me he liked my belt. it scared me. my belt is all glittery and stuff. anyway. oops. i forgot to bring home the story we were supposed to read tonight. i guess we don't have to have it done until thursday so i'm good. uhm. then i went to yearbook and alphabetized senior pictures. in sales we took a test and we got to use our review sheets...at lunch megan made me wish i would have taped once and again last friday...in spanish we did a really easy assignment...and in gym we dodged ping pong balls and laughed at the gym teachers' mix of music. it was amusing. everything from walk like an egyptian to faded.

i need to burn the alicia keys cd for amy. then i'm going to find something to do until friends time. i'm excited, i love tuesday night tv. gilmore girls looks adorable and smallville is always good. 8 days of school left. ho hum.

next week i have an eye appointment so i can get new contacts. i am in great need. i've been going without them. that's probably not great for my eyes. ooh, i know what i can do before friends! i can finish this boy's life. i SWEAR i've seen it before but i can only remember like 2 scenes and i haven't gotten to them yet so i'm afraid i'm thinking of a DIFFERENT movie and it will bother me because i won't be able to figure out what THAT movie is. you know what i mean? i like to be on top of things.

100% chance Gilmore Girls WAS adorable. At least I had good taste in something.

12.10.01 | 3:39pm

LOL as soon as i say nobody ever signs my guestbook like 5 people do. that was kinda fun, i forgot i wrote that and then i went to look at my guestbook and i was like "wow...lots!" hehe.

i had a slightly eventful weekend. i kept busy. went to the dance friday (wasn't all that thrilling), went to kraig's party saturday (more thrilling than one might assume) and went to see ocean's eleven yesterday (not as thrilling as one might assume.) okay, i liked it...but it wasn't my favorite movie ever or anything. i did watch an awfully cute movie on video though - sense and sensiblity.

brrr. it's cold in this room. but anyway. today in yearbook laura and i were checking off senior pictures we've gotten and we went through the package from wayne's and guess what... mallory's picture is not there! i am upset. he sent some girl we've never seen before but not ME. i had to call and complain but i talked to his wife and she was like "i'll check the records" blah blah blah i doubt she will. i wonder if my mom called and ordered more wallets for me. probably not. she's mighty forgetful.

today i got my first issue of my movieline subscription. it has hayden in it. not much. just a picture in the x and y files.

my mom got these really yummy starbucks frozen frappuccino things the other day. there are only 4 in a box, what a ripoff. fortunately i have 3 boxes of ohs to make up for the lack of frozen frappuccino.

you know, the best song cover EVER is five's version of we will rock you. it is the coolest. take my word for it and download it. five was so underrated. they were better than all the other boybands with the extreme exception of the backstreet boys and possibly the new no authority. too bad both five and no authority broke up.

i made pumpkin bread saturday. it was really good and i wish there was more. yummm to pumpkin bread. maybe i should go buy some more mix. it'd be something to do. ;)

My opinion on movies is bizarre and fascinating given my current taste. I continue to talk about Ohs, a severely underrated cereal, quite regularly in this blog. Do yourself a favor and get some Ohs.

12.8.01 | 12:19am

nobody ever signs my guestbook. i feel unloved. :( i doubt anyone even *comes* to my site. yeah. but i do it anyway. sad, i know. but moving on.

i just got back from the dance. it wasn't all that thrilling. there weren't enough people there. plus they really need to find a DJ who doesn't play early '90s dance music. that was ALL he played with the exception of maybe 2 songs. he did that at the last dance too. but we won the basketball game, i hear. good times.

tomorrow i have to go twirl @ 2. shouldn't take too long though, alaina and i just have to make up like 5 counts of 8.

today i fell down my stairs...it happens to me a lot, we have steep stairs...and i rammed my foot into the wall and hurt my toes. they are still in pain. but i will live.

i'm really bored because i'm hyperactive from the dance but i don't have any way to channel my energies. no one is online to talk to...everyone in my house is sleeping...borrrrrring! i dunno WHAT to do. maybe i should just attempt to settle down. easier said than done. i'll probably be online doing nothing all night. i seriously don't know how i manage to entertain myself. sometimes i can't find anything to do on the computer but other times i can sit all day doing pointless things. whatever works. hmm. okay then. well, i'm off.

I find it hard to believe I wasn't into early 90s dance music. 2 Unlimited was my jam.

12.4.01 | 9:53pm

angie will be happy - glitter is out soon. she really wants to see it even though it's really bad. that's okay, we can laugh at it.

today was lovely. first, i got a good parking spot. then i got 100% on my vocab sentences even though i didn't do them all. lol. thanks, mr. laville. hmm. oh yeah, laura and i finished calling photographers. and i watched pearl harbor!!! :) :) :)

LOL glitter has 2 stars on the imdb.com reader reviews. that cracks me up.

blah to tomorrow. it's breadstick wednesday. BUT i have to do a skit in spanish (i hate memorizing stuff) and i have baton (like baton, don't like the idea of GOING to baton) AND i have gym. which isn't all bad. but anyway.

you know, i wanted to go see lord of the rings with elisabeth and laugh at it. but i keep seeing previews for it when i go to the movie theater and it actually looks pretty cool. the trailers are really nifty, all sorts of fun special effects and stuff. now i think i'll go with my mom cuz she really wants to see it and i have a feeling i won't be laughing as much as elisabeth. :) i love elisabeth but once she gets started...wow. okay.

i looked up crossroads on imdb and it says "if you liked this movie, imdb recommends: the virgin suicides." hey, i like the virgin suicides. it's one of my favorites! i just don't think it can be much like the britney spears movie. the britney spears movie looks more like coyote ugly or something. whatever.

okay we're supposed to have props for our spanish skit tomorrow. it's really dumb...okay, my partner is mike and we have to pretend we're looking for a roommate at the university of quito and we have to talk about our daily habits and stuff, using vocab from the chapter we're on. it's sooo stupid. the props thing, anyway. the actually storyline is slightly amusing. mike: "these must be some co-ed dorms, huh?"

today in sales we got to make a POSTER. hehe. i got glue all over myself. sometimes i get carried away. i'm rather bored, but i don't want to go to bed yet. i need to edit the settings on blogger. i think i'll go do that.

Angie is still obsessed with Glitter. More to come on laughing at Lord of the Rings. 

12.3.01 | 3:15pm

hey hey. i just got back from school. a lovely gym class where i walked in circles. i have a little homework, believe it or not. this nasty spanish assignment that makes no sense. spanish is easy, except when they give you crazy impossible assignments. i don't like that.

i have nothing to do tonight. 7th heaven is a rerun so i just have friends to watch.

kelsey says there's a dance on friday. didn't know that. i don't know if i'll go or not. i want to see ocean's 11, but i could wait until saturday or sunday. OR i could not go to the basketball game, go to the 7 movie and be done in time for the dance. eh, i'll figure it out later.

i remembered to buy lord of the flies today. yay for me! maybe i could be all motivated and read it before we start doing anything with it in class. that would be something i would only do if i was bored out of my mind. which does happen every once in awhile.

today in yearbook laura and i got to call information like 200 times and then call all the local photographers and tell them that we need the senior headshots by december 14th and blah blah blah. good times. it took an amazingly long time, all things considered. and we're not done.

ouch. my right shoulder hurts. *sigh* oh well. i'll get over it. maybe i'll go upstairs and uh do my spanish.

Mis zapatos son mas bonitos que los tuyos.

12.2.01 | 10:20am

oh my. okay my mom says "i want us to be done shopping by noon." we got home from des moines at like 6:30. just a little behind schedule.

i got some happy things though. some cute clothes, a new coat...i got a book too. it's got a good story but the author writes like a 40-year-old who's trying to be 16. which she probably is. it bothers me. but other than that it's all good.

i'm attempting to download a few songs this morning. i'm upset, the weekend seems so short. :( i can't wait until the end of the month when we have winter break.

i need to rent edward scissorhands next week. that's a great movie. and, for those of you uneducated in this area, nick from the backstreet boys is in it. he doesn't actually talk, but he's in it!

in my book there's this "dreg" who wears backstreet boys shirts to make a statement. cuz like, no one would give him a second glance if he wore marilyn manson goth stuff but wearing a backstreet boys shirt gets everyone's attention.

i was at border's yesterday and i became upset because they reissued a walk to remember with mandy moore and shane west on the cover. ya know, for the movie. *sigh* oh well, it's just a cover. the rest of the book is the same. lol.

ooh, ocean's eleven comes out this weekend meaning i might actually have something to do. yay. that's always exciting. i guess i'll go sit around for awhile.

I still read YA and I still dislike when middle-aged authors try too hard to sound 16 and totally miss the mark. I did eventually get the paperback of A Walk to Remember with Mandy Moore on the cover, though...in case you were worried.

11.30.01 | 4:03pm

*thank god it's friday night and i just...just...just...just...just...god paid!*

okay so i don't like nsync, it's friday afternoon and i don't have a job. but my mom just got paid. lol.

whoa. linkin park is on spinner again. must be a thing with me updating my blog. they say "we have to play linkin park whenever mallory updates her blog."

hmm. i don't have anything to do tonight. i think i'll rent a movie or two. i don't know what though. i've seen like everything i want to. lol i had too much free time over the summer. i think i'll get gladiator cuz i haven't seen it yet and...um...i need a chick flick to balance it out. any ideas? meet joe black is the BEST chick flick ever but i'm in the mood for something i haven't already seen. or at least something i haven't seen recently. i was thinkin' maybe while you were sleeping. but i dunno.

LOL amy didn't know that ms. and miss meant different things. i love you, amy! lol. we're dorks, we're actually teaching each other vocabulary words for fun.

What is this even?

I liked to "sing" with asterisks. I'm sorry.

Clearly While You Were Sleeping should win over Meet Joe Black, despite its undisputed title of "best chick flick ever."

11.29.01 | 10:24pm

i am extremely glad that tomorrow is friday. i don't exactly have big plans for the weekend or anything but still, it's better than school. i think my mom wants to go shopping saturday. that could be interesting. laura is testing for her brown belt this weekend. yay laura!

speaking of, the drill team has state tomorrow (AT VETS AUDITORIUM! -- see below) so they're all going to be gone all day. that's not fun. ooh, i got 100% on my spanish test. be proud of me, that was not the easiest test ever.

it's cold and i should go to bed. but guess what? i'm not going to. i'm listening to alana davis clips to see if there's anything i want to download. i like her new (well, fairly new) song, i want you. okay i need a blanket.

Laura was my best friend at the time. She'll come up repeatedly.

The last sentence is 100% still me.

11.29.01 | 10:18pm

FYI - y'all know about ozzy ozbourne biting the head off a live bat? today i learned he did that at vets auditorium. vets is in des moines. i saw nsync there (ack) and 98 degrees and um sometimes when our basketball team is cool enough i get to go watch them play at vets for state. what am i talking about? god i need to shut up.

Yes I do.

At the time, I found this connection riveting - because honestly, not much happens in Iowa, so this was big news.

The NSYNC disdain is a recurring theme. While I generally liked them, I much preferred the Backstreet Boys and didn't like everyone talking about NSYNC constantly. I am still obsessed with the Backstreet Boys so I stand by 16-year-old me on the NSYNC issue.

11.29.01 | 9:32pm

amy is such a hazard to my hard drive. she's always telling me new stuff to download and, silly me, i do. like snood. i hate it now, but my mom is obsessed. and now she's got me listening to spinner. argh. hmm. linkin park on the teen scene station. whadyaknow.

My mom probably still plays Snood. She was obsessed with it for years after this. 

Interestingly, Spinner does still exist, sort of - it's now apparently AOL Radio powered by Slacker. One outdated thing leads to another.

11.29.01 | 9:18pm

go here. you will not regret it.
i am currently attempting to delete all the sites from my favorite folders that no longer exist. could be awhile...

Don't go there. Sadly, this Hayden Christensen geocities fan page is no longer in operation.

11.29.01 | 9:16pm

*giggle*
it's working.

How embarrassing.

11.29.01 | 9:15pm

ARGH WHY is it so hard for me to freakin' use BLOGGER? it LOOKED right and it MATCHED 2 minutes ago but NOW no matter WHAT i do it has this stupid PURPLE thing!!!! if i can't fix this...BYE BYE BLOG!!!!

But I LIKE purple.

11.29.01 | 9:09pm

apparently it is. okay. so today i said to myself "i want a blog." so i got one. yay. so any updates will be posted in blogs and the *wonderful* coming up section is now located under ME on the menu below. i'm sure you all were extremely concerned about that. so anyway. i'm off. for the moment. but i will be back. soon. i'm bored.

I will be back VERY soon, in fact. I had a tendency to update several times a day, usually within the same hour or so.

11.29.01 | 8:58PM

It begins. Apparently I was averse to capital letters.

yo, is this working?

Explanation.

When I was a teenager, starting circa 2001, I had a personal website with an accompanying blog.

Somehow, through the magic of technology, this blog lived in Blogger for years after I stopped using it, and also ended up tied to my gmail account. As a result, I am now able to read my blog posts from 15 years ago. They are not, however, published. Yet.

Reading the old posts is simultaneously horribly embarrassing and tremendously amusing. Like most things of this nature, I probably find it far more engaging than anyone else would, but I thought it would be fun to gradually repost my teenage musings, both for the sake of my own nostalgia and for the chance that one of these super dated blog posts resonates with someone else who can relate to being a teenager in the early 00s.

Blog subjects will include the original post date and time, and I will likely include a brief line of commentary or explanation.
