Ashlee Simpson "pieces of me" |
] |
At about 1:30 AM Friday morning, I was admitted to the ER of JFK hospital.
I had developed what are called liver clots, when the wound from my bottom right tooth suddenly started bleeding furiously. This caused me to have chunks of blood in my mouth that looked like pieces of liver, hence the name liver clots.
My face swelled up again, and this time turned a perky shade of yellowish green.
I didn't have to stay at the hospital or anything. So Brian visited this weekend anyway, and for most of friday, simply kept me company while I slept do to the pain medication. I was glad to have him, he helped my parents take care of me and played guitar for me and sang to me and rubbed my feet and snuggled with me and let me sleep on his stomach and played with my hair and made me laugh and kissed me on the side of my face that wasn't swollen and told me i was beautiful anyway and let me watch a little bit of vh1 even tho he hates it.
my mom felt so bad too that she bought me roses. gorgeous pink roses that almost look purple, i need to take pictures of them and post them here. and my daddy went to the store and bought me enough yogurt to last a lifetime. i was infinitely spoiled, so I guess that makes up for the fact that i went thru hell.
And by the way, i am much better now.

Dear MoveOn Member,
Today, we won a huge victory, thanks to you. President Bush failed to pass his Constitutional amendment denying marriage equality to same-
sex couples. The amendment failed resoundingly in a Senate vote this afternoon, with just 48 votes in favor and 50 against.
Constitutional amendments require 67 votes in the Senate, so Bush's failure to muster even a simple majority was a major defeat for him, and a huge victory for all of us.
Even if he lost the vote, Bush was hoping to use it to rally his base. But six Republican Senators voted against it. The Washington Post says: "The vote by the Republican-controlled Senate amounted to an embarrassing defeat for President Bush and conservative leaders who had pushed hard for approval of the amendment..."*
Earlier this week, the Senate was getting flooded with calls in favor of the amendment, generated in large part by right-wing religious television networks. Our petition and our calls helped turn the tide. More than 500,000 of us signed the "United, Not Divided" petition in just 48 hours, and more than 20,000 of us made phone calls too.
We also put an ad on TV. You can see it on CNN for the rest of this week, or watch it here:
Real: http://cdn.moveon.org/media/gaymarriage.rm
Quicktime: http://cdn.moveon.org/media/gaymarriage.mov
MPEG: http://cdn.moveon.org/media/gaymarriage.mpg
This overwhelming response in support of civil rights for all Americans
also energized people who'd never taken part in a MoveOn campaign before -- with this message, we welcome more than 150,000 new members to MoveOn.org, raising our total U.S. membership to nearly 2.5 million.
Together, we're showing President Bush that his divisive politics will get him nowhere. And we’re growing stronger by fighting back.
It’s a great day for America. Thank you for making this victory possible.
Sincerely,
--Carrie, Joan, Lee, Marika, Noah, Peter, and Wes
The MoveOn.org Team

Spent another glorious weekend at Brian's. Well, actually, just a night, because i started ballet saturday morning and I couldn't leave until afterwards. My godmother's teaching the class, and i am so uber-excited to be dancing. Even though I'm fairly horrible.
So I drove to brian's, still in my leotard and tights, and the first thing I did was give him his birthday present. flip flops because the soles are coming off his old ones, honey cuz I used all his the weekend I had a cold, and a movie I made for him on the computer. I'd been planning to make him a scrapbook/album thing, but I am currently without a printer, so I compiled all our favorite photos and set them all to our favorite songs. It took an insanne amount of time, but I am insanely proud of it.
We rested/napped for most of saturday, and at night we saw "the notebook." which is hands down the saddest movie ever. I cried buckets. Have you ever seen a movie that really affected you, and you just couldn't shake a particular feeling it had evoked? Well all sunday I just had this weird feeling of melancholy I couldn't shake. And I wanted to talk about the movie every 2 seconds. I mean, yes, it was sentimental crap, but for sentimental crap, it was good. You gotta take things for what they're are.
Sunday we had belgian waffles with chocolate chips for breakfast, and then brian and I sat around talking and him playing his guitar until I had to leave. I love sundays with my boyfriend.
And by the way, Jess has this in her journal, so I'm just copying what she wrote:
please sign this petition if you oppose the amendment to eliminate gay marriage. this is a REAL petition that WILL be sent to the senate before they vote on whether or not to pass this amendment. http://www.moveon.org/unitednotdivided/

[26 Jun 2004|01:33pm] |
it's funny that smells and sounds return
so all alone uncalled unneeded
on a sweaty night as i sit armed
with coffee and cigarettes waiting
sometimes it seems
my life is a scrapbook
i usta get 1.50 per week
for various duties unperformed
while i read –green dolphin street-
and –the sun is my undoing-
never understanding my exclusion
but knowing quite clearly the hero
is always misunderstood
though always right in the end
roy gave me a yellow carnation
that year for the junior prom
the red rose was from michael
who was the prettiest boy i'd ever known
he took me to the –jack and jill- dance
and left me sitting in the corner until
the slow drags came on then he danced
real tight and sweated out my bangs
i had a white leather monstrosity that passed
for taste in my adolescence pressed with dances
undanced through the songs were melodious
and somehow three or four books were filled
with proms and parties and programs that
my grandmother made me go to
for "culture" so that i could be
a lady
my favorite is the fisk book with clippings of the –forum- and notes from the dean of women
saying "you are on social probation" and "you are
suspended from fisk"
and letters from my mother saying "behave yourself"
and letters from my grandmother reminding me
"your grandfather graduated fisk in 1905" and not
to try to run the school
but mostly notes from alvin asking when
was i coming over
again
i purchased a blue canvas notebook for the refrain
it's really something when you sit
watching dawn peep over apartment buildings
that seemed so ominous during the night and see
pages of smiling pictures groups of girls throwing
pillows couples staring nervously ahead as if they
think the kodak will eat them someone with a ponytail
and a miles davis record a lady with an afro pointing
joyously to a diploma a girl in a brown tan and red
bathing suit holding a baby that looks like you
and now there is a black leather book filled
efficiently by a clipping service
and a pile of unaswered letters that remind
you to love those who love you
and i sit at dawn
all my defenses gone sometimes
listening to –something cool- sometimes
hearing –tears on my pillow-
and know there must be other books
filled with failures and family and friends
that perhaps one day I can unfold
for my grandchildren
-Nikki Giovanni

Spent the weekend at Brian's house. Wonderful. For my birthday present/8 month anniversary, we went to Longwood Gardens on saturday, which is one of my favorite places in the world. Brian took me there for my Christmas present, and I loved it, so I asked if we could go for my birthday too. This time, I brought my digital camera, yay. I am a huge geek, and took pictures of everything. Here are ( my favorites )
and if u're actually interested, you could view the rest, here at my Photobucket account.

Sometimes Brian writes journal entries that only I can see. I love them. They're like love letters for the 21st century. And yes, everyone can see this entry, but that's the point. Brian makes me wanna share all the wonderful things about him with the whole world.
These are private words addressed to you in public.
or something like that.

Brian wanted me to write. I don't know what to write. Villagers still hasn't called me about Les Miz. I heard some interesting rumors, but at this point, i guess i'm not in it. Either way, it's pretty fucking rude and unprofessional that they still haven't called. Mid to late next week my ass. sigh.
my mom and i cleaned the kitchen yesterday. we even washed and waxed the floor. she wants the house to look nice when all my friends from school come for my birthday. i don't think they'll notice, but it's super nice that she cares enough to do it. i can't wait for them to come visit, yay.
before that i went to the voice recital of my old studio. it was nice. 2 of my choir girls are in the studio now, and jessie's still there. my jessie is tied for 1st chair for soprano 2 in the all-state chorus. and she's a freshman. that's amazing. i am insanely happy for her. caitlin and kelly (my choir girls) were wonderful, as always. caitlin is by far the cutest 10 year old on the face of the earth.
every night after i hang up with brian, i immediately fall asleep. but lately i've been waking myself up cuz i've been saying "i love you" to him in my sleep. and i wake up and there's nothing, no him, not even a phone pressed to my ear.
i can't wait to see him, i hope he can come visit next weekend. and then we could go walk around the church carnival like the superior beings we are, and stay up late talking, and giggle and be stupid. my boyfriend is beautiful.
