today was an interesting day in art.

As usual, wednesdays are when we get to wake up late, pack ourseves into the auditorium in the art studio, and watch movies/listen to sound art. Today was a little different. We listened to little 30 seconds clips of different sound artists/music artists peices. The First was by Yoko Ono which involved second blips of a child screaming. At a high volume and in an unexpected manner most of hte class almost flew out of their chairs when it started. Second was some very nice techno by a band who's name I missed. Thrid I beleive was some random sound art that was unpleasent on the ears. Fourth I beleive was by some metal sound art band that wasnt bad at all. Fifth was a song called carpenters song which involved a piano playing to a person hammering. Sixth was a song by aphex twin which I really liked (experimental techno). Seventh was a heart beat along with what sounded like a woman building up to orgasim (turns out it was taken from a horror flick). Eight was a nice mellow peice that was recorded live in some restaurant (the clinking of glasses and sound of people talking in the background braught me back to brunch at Sun and Surf beach club). They also played Toxic by britney spears which got a cringe out of the group, lol.

The most interesting lesson learned in this lesson was that different pithes of sounds effect peoples reactions. Also the majority's reaction also effects the reaction of every one else. After the interesting sound fest Ted began talking about digital and analouge sound (basically the difference between a recording on a cd and a recording on a record). He was talking about how people, after listening to a cds for a long time they can only listen to two or three at a times because it wears doen your body. The reason is a high pitch feedback that is the result of the recording. Animals cna hear it (an example he gave us was his cat would leave his studio when he played a cd and return when he switched to record). He started talking about how a cd is flat and lifeless compared to the sound of a real record. In a way he is right. I've listened to many records at other peoples houses and listend to the same songs on mp3 or cd and they really can't compare to album.

This all led up to a sound art project that we are doing in groups of 8. It's due next wed so it should be interesting (especially since one of our members is leaving to go visit his chica back home for v-day).

Speaking of which I'm contemplating on doing something on V-day (not drinking just chilling) just so I can concentrate more on having fun then the fact I can't be with Dan for valentines day. Of course though, I plan on webcamming it up with him. Hmmmm, romantic dinner by webcam....gotta try that ^^***.

I really can't wait to see him. It's going to be amazing holding him again.

It's funny how many ethnicities have influenced me.

I was reading some "you know you're *insert ethnic background* when" and relised I am such a mutt. I'm like this funny mix of Japanese, Chinese, India, Italian, and Jewish beleifs, habits, everything! It kinda makes me smile to know how the people I have met in my lifetime wether family friends or aquaitances influenced me and made me into such an interesting mutt, lol. It kinda makes you feel like you're not so different from the rest of the world. It's an oddly deep, satisfying feeling. ^^
Maybe that's why I get along with so many different people.

Almost Wednesday! This means it's almost 11 days till Dan comes here!!!xD
I'm so incredebly happy! It's one of the things that keeps me happy, even if its all nasty and rainy outside. Still trying ot figure out how to put together a romantic evening. It'll come ot me eventually. ^~

(god I could go for a cup of lechi tea, a bowl of rice soup and a canoli right about now...)

You Know You're From Long Island When...

You know someone who went to Chaminade. Jones Beach Theater is the best place in the world to see a concert. CASE CLOSED! Is it just me, or is every girl from Rockville Centre a bitch? Billy Joel said it best, "Either you date a rich girl from the North Shore, or a cool girl from the South Shore." What's the big deal about the Hamptons? If you're not from Long Island or NYC, you're not really from New York. You don't go to Manhattan, you go to "the City" You know the Belt Parkway sucks! You never, ever want to "change at Jamaica..." You never realize you have an accent until you leave. You know where at least one strip club is. You can name at least three bands that came from Long Island. You curse. A lot. Is Huntington really that cool? You've been to Utopia at least once. The goddamn geese are everywhere! If your parents didn't, your grandparents lived in the city. At some point in your life you or someone you know has owned an animal that came from North Shore Animal League. You actually remember when you felt safe swimming at Bar Beach and Hempstead Harbor. Commack movie theatre scares you You walk around the mall aimlessly. You drive around your town with your friends, and that's the most exciting part of your evening. On the weekend, your evening consists of seeing a movie, going bowling, or playing pool. When you walk in the city and you see two men holding hands...it becomes normal to you. No word ends in an ER, just an AH. You feel like you know Howard Stern. You live in the shadow of the greatest city in the world, but you never go there. When you're away from Long Island, you love it and when you're there, you don't. You know that the beach sucks during the day and is the most magical place in the world at night You know the exact point at which Queens turns into Nassau simply on intuition. You're still waiting for a bridge to Connecticut. You've tried to use your father's monthly ticket to ride the LIRR. It worked. No matter what you do, you end up at the diner. Your distant future might involve the state of Florida. High school sports aren't that important. You've never been to Times Square on New Year's Eve. You've tried to find the Amityville Horror house. Each one of your diverse friends mercilessly makes fun of his own background. You love that salty smell of the ocean. No, you don't want mustard on that burger! The most exciting day of your summer is when all tickets to every Jones Beach show go on sale. You know White Castle is terrible for you and the food sucks. But, you periodically "Get the Crave" You want the Yankees to stay in the Bronx, but would probably go to more games if they moved to Manhattan. You can order a pizza pie and a soda and people will understand. You felt slighted when Snapple sold out. You don't associate Fire Island with gay men. You wanted Hooters to open simply to piss off "decency" groups. You watched a game show and wondered, "why are these people so happy that they won a trip to New York?" You like The Brothers McMullen. When you hear Billy Joel's "Scenes From an Italian Restaurant" you try to figure out what places on Long Island he's talking about. You know that parts of the Godfather were filmed on LI. You always liked Billy Joel, but as soon as you leave, you love Billy Joel. At some point in your life, you've gone clamming. You've been to the Tanger Outlets and came home with nothing to show for it. You have or someone you know has fallen asleep on the LIRR and ended up in one of these three places; Babylon, Port Washington or Hicksville. You have been to Mulcahay's on Thanksgiving Eve, the largest ladies night event of every year. You've missed that "Drunk Train", the 2:42 out of Penn and had the dreaded wait until 5:30. You think Islip MacArthur airport is cute and you enjoy watching it grow up. Your parents took you to Nathans or Carvel You hate the radio commercials for the Dublin Pub Public beach? What's that? You can correctly pronouce places like Happauge, Commack, Islip, Islandia, Massapequa. You know the location of 6 malls and a dozen McDonalds and 36 7-11's. You grew up thinking Chinese food was a basic food group. You're used to driving down the street in December and seeing more light-up menorahs than you can shake a latka at. In fact, even your non-Jewish friends know what Matzoh is. And you've never driven more than 10 miles without seeing a temple. Oh, your parents are from Brooklyn? So are mine! Yes, admit it, you've cruised the Pike. You can remember making up rules for “Shotgun” calls in high school. Your elementary school promoted dodge ball as the top gym activity. You were upset when all the Roy Rogers turned into Wendy’s. You consider nachos and cheese at the Coliseum to be a suitable dinner date. You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Long Island.

My attitude really needs to change starting now.

I'm turning into some emo-evil jelous girlfriend that lives only in my nightmares. I have to stick my neck out, flip lonelyness the bird, and send my jelousy down to the depths of hell where it came from.

I guess this attitude came from this dream I had last night. It was just watching me and Dan fight over and over and over and I woke up shaking. I needed to do something about my attitude. I spent my time in class having a paper mache reflection time, lol. But yea, I decided it's useless gettin worked up over stuff that in reality, means absolutely nothing. If I obsess about the fact that there is some girl hanging out with Dan I shouldn't freak out about. In fact, freaking out about just makes it worse in my head and makes trying to be productive impossible. Negative thoughts, produce negative energy which in turn makes shitty art, lol. I guess I should take yoga or something, or just look at the back of my yogi tea box and do some of those breathing exercises.:P

In other news, less depressed and looking forward to Dan hauling himself up here. ^^
I think its going to be an interesting challenge balancing my time between him and class work. It'll be a nice little lesson for me (especially if he plans on transfering here next year). Also it'll be nice to spend a week with him. Midterms are next month and I'm looking forward to a little break in between. Also I'll get to wake up to the man I love again every morning, and get to eat lunch with him, and have him in the studio, and I'll get to play video games with him and *rambles on uncontrollably*. It seems that every time I'm with him I loose a couple of years and go back to being a 10 year old. It's nice being rediculous in front of some one else who is being as equally rediculous as you. ^^

Ture love is indeed the greatest thing ever.

*Sigh* sometimes I hate being shackled to my room.

Dan doesn't want me to be around Don which in turn makes me unable to hang out with any one else. Of course this is all because I hate seeing him sad and I rather hold onto him then make him stress out.

Of course though, he can party and have strip poker and I have to sit in my room, alone, listening to every thing going on back home. Some times it really makes me fustrated. I want to go out, I want to have fun, but I don't want him to freak out. It sucks that I have no female friends (Except for meg). Usually hanging out with the average girl is so incredebly boring. No video games, sappy movies, no D&D, and no perverted jokes. It just blows. I hate being bored and alone. I don't even need to drink. I just want social contact with friends. I don't want to turn into the social recluse I was in middle school.

I guess I should go to teh studio but I'm too depressed because once I tell Dan that pablo and Don are down there he'll get all grr on me. He'll eventually get over what I did like I did. I just don't want to be in a bubble forever.


On a more lighter note Dan is coming up in two weeks. I hope he doesn't get bored. I hope I don't have any major projects. I just want a relaxed week with him. I want to show him that he has nothing to worry about. *sigh* I should just flunk out of school and go home. It's not worth all this emotion. This wanting to be with my friends, to be with Dan, to enjoy life with every one. It's like every day here something that I enjoy becomes boring. Playing video games by myself gives me a headache. Listening to music is boring. I've watched all my movies and there is nothing on tv. I think it's a lack of mental stimulation thats causing such a horrible depression. I don't know. I need to go home.
