>The Exploited - Sex And Violence

I wish I could go somewhere, I’ve been going crazy from cabin fever ever since I got back from my stay at Wildwood. I’ve only left the house one time since we got back. My mom keeps saying she’s “tired”. Too tired to drive a few miles to the shopping center? Please. What’s she doing in her spare time, running wind sprints in the basement? God. Anyway, I did make another purchase from amazon.com. I got a DVD player, two more DVDs (SLC Punk and Blade Runner), and a bunch of books. I haven’t read a page of them since I got everything yesterday, but my DVD player has been in almost constant use. I had a movie marathon of sorts last night, it was fun, I stayed up until four AM drinking ginger ale and watching movies. I’d never watched two of my favorites that I bought on DVD while I was here (Crash and The Doom Generation) all the way through, I’d only caught them in the middle when I first saw them, so it was great fun to see them in all their glory. My mom and I finished watching Blade Runner today. She actually liked it, I was surprised. I am in love with the DVD player though, it can play video CDs burned on the computer, it can play CDs of pictures, and music CDs too. When the novelty of the new toy wears off, I’m going to start reading again. I kind of stopped reading when I read excessively during my stay at Wildwood. I got from about page 600 of Atlas Shrugged to page 867. According to my handy-dandy computer calculator, I have 301 pages left to read, so I’ll probably finish it before the summer is out. I’m still dying to go to New York, but I don’t have anyone to take me. We’re going to my aunt and uncle’s house later this week, or so my mom tells me, and I’m going to inform them of my need. Understatement of the year. Anyway, I just got off the phone with Mindy, she’s becoming a housewife. Well, that is until she starts her job next week. She’s making all this food for Garrett’s dad, and Garrett’s dad’s lover. I guess they’re visiting. She told me the details of her and Garrett’s second wedding. It’s really strange [in my opinion, to have two weddings], but I guess to call Mindy normal is a stretch of the imagination. “Normal” people are always the most screwed up. The lady from the college e-mailed me, she wanted to know if I graduated, and if I did, she’d need a copy of my diploma. I have to mail her one tomorrow. I’m making my mom take me to the shopping center in Edgewater tomorrow or I’m going to KILL her. I saw martini glasses and glass beer mugs at Bed Bath and Beyond, and I love references to alcoholism. They’re trendy, what can I say. And I’m gonna get this gravy briefcase/binder/legal pad I saw at Staples, if I can convince my mom it’s gravy, which doesn’t seem to hard, ’cause it’s so utilitarian. I also need to get Existenz, The Matrix, and Sleepy Hollow on DVD soon, cuz I’m going krazy with my tiny movie collection, but I don’t know if I’m willing to pay a lot 4 them.Well, I should go… I have absolutely nothing to do other than watch my six DVDs, but I should get back to my boredom. Maybe I’ll read something…hmm.
