It's Michael Jackson's birthday today. I've made a birthday post for MJ every year for the 8 years I've had this LJ account.
It's crazy how worried about me people were when he died. I had never had so many phone calls in one day before!
It really sucks that he's gone. Lately I've been in this angry stage where I accuse people who claim to love him that they aren't really fans.
"Did you download all his songs when you heard the news?"
"I already OWN all the songs you twit."
I was in Philly when he was acquitted in the summer of 2005. I still have the local newspaper with the front page article. For kicks, I also grabbed the Spanish language newspaper just in case.
Happy birthday MJ. We love you.

My LJ birthday was last week. June 15th to be exact.
On June 15th 2001 I made my LJ and updated it before leaving for Tampa with Sarah Dowd and Chris Shelton to see STOMP perform.
It's been a long ride, and I still love you LJ.
The userpic I'm using for this entry was one of the first ones I had of myself. It was taken at the duplex on my little webcam that everyone used to take vanity shots when we were just sitting around.
I have almost every picture I've ever taken archived on my back up drive. It's sad to say, that if I've EVER taken a picture of you in the last 10 years, I probably still have it. There's a gaggle of silly pictures from the duplex where Grant or Lindsey or Jon just sat at my computer taking pictures of themselves. Good times.
I think we all still remember the duplex, and a time when LJ was the only website we had for this sort of social connection. It the age of Facebook and Myspace, it's hard to think that all we had was a 100X100 pixel image and a digital diary to represent ourselves. LJ and AIM was all there was. I don't even use AIM anymore. When I do open it up, it's the same 15 people that have always been there, and they're usually on "mobile". Does that mean I'm allowed to msg them? I'm not even sure anymore. We've gone from the long posts where we talked about anything and everything, and we could count on our friends to read and comment and thereby validating our love for each other, to having 160 character tweets to express what we're doing at the exact moment we do it. Maybe that's why twitter and I don't get along. I'm too long winded. I mean, how many tweets does it take to tell you EXACTLY how shitty my day was?
I'm enjoying a laid back weekend with little to do. Classes start in a few weeks, and I have to buy 1 million dollar books for all three of them. FUN.
I've got a trip to DC the week right before school starts. Should be exciting and I'm hoping to come back with enough awesome photos to make a nun giggle.
I haven't made a post yet about MJs death. I'm sure it's coming soon though. I have a lot to say.
THE STATS
In the years of my LJ I've acquired 106 friends (of which, I think 4 are active), made 771 updates, received 4,059 comments, and left 3,838 comments.
Be safe kids, I love you all.

I took this picture a while ago in North Carolina and never really did anything with it. I rediscovered some of these pictures and finally put them onto my Flickr. I really like how the bokeh in the picture came out. :D

So school started back up last week. Most enjoyable. My classes are really awesome this semester too. I'm taking comparative religions as one of the thousand some odd history classes I have to take, and the other class is Darwin and the dinosaurs. Which to me sounds like two interesting classes to take at the same time. I can already see myself studying for the wrong class and being confused.
"Wait...did God crawl out of the primordial ooze?"
"Ok, so Allah created raptors?"
In other news, Christmas was most enjoyable. I got a pro account for Flickr, subscription to Shutterbug, an amazing wine rack, some scarves, a speed light for my camera, new lenses, a few books, and some much needed socks.
I've been modeling shirts for Snorgtees.com. It's actually a fun gig. I get to keep all the shirts and it pays per session pretty well. It's one of those"I get paid to do this?" sorta things.
I recently stopped going to my therapist. After months of chit-chats and some really fun personality tests, I think to value of having an impartial party to talk to about life sorta lost its momentum. Besides, I could use the money for something else.
My brother Jason turns 21 this year, so a bunch of us are going on a cruise to celebrate. The poor kid NEVER travels. So it's off to the high seas! Should be a good time.
How has everyone else been?
I'll leave you with a video. I love this Say Anything song, and this video is really cute. :D

We'll conquer this star! We'll name something silly.
We'll ride on a beam of light! We'll forget why we wanted to.
Oh my God.
We'll create a black hole. We'll make it our home.
We'll pillage this dream! We'll never come back.
-------------
Expect lots of picture updates. All the love has been going to my flickr account. I have a crap ton of pictures that shouldn't just be filed away.
