i laughed.

i cried.

i danced around in a cocktail dress with a champagne flute in one hand.

i hugged so many people.

i felt unified.

i peed all over myself because in the first election i was ever allowed to vote in, i was able to help change my community, my county, my district, my country, my world.

in conclusion,



yes we did. i have finally exhaled after holding my breath for eight years.

so, it seems i change from post to post these days.

last weekend i got to sit behind joe biden. i just realized i chewed him out in my last post, and for kind of legit reasons. but actually following him in this election, since the VP debate, and then meeting him in person has of course changed my opinion. he's got the same "folksy" quality i guess you could say that palin does, but he's so genuine and he really believes in this country as a whole. and he's also pro-women. you have to love that in a politician. you have to think its weird that the one person who isn't pro-women in this election is palin.

speaking of, guess who i am for halloween.

i have this crazy eye thing that is a pain in the butt.

friday is going to be the one year anniversary for my boyfriend and i :')



aww, yeah, who's my shnugs.

i want to sleep.

i want a cigarette.

i want my boyfriend.

i want a pony.

Harvey Dent is...

I BELIEVE IN HARVEY DENT

was probably the best night of of my life. too bad you can't see the ten foot diameter disco ball, feel the heat of the crowd, with your boyfriend, your college friends, feel with 30,000 other people who just want to be part of this rebirth of free love. hopefully you will.

SO. it's been ... five months. here's what you've missed:

babbling four months straight about being in love with this guy right here, coffee intoxication, drunken running amok, school stress and mental breakdowns, new music enlightenment, new people, new places, epic battles with mono & spleen, slow collapse of crew team, smoking too much pot and the right amount of yoga, not smoking enough pot and no amount of yoga, trippin' ballz, douchebaggy friends who love you, spandex, killer car trips, family drama, sunny days, rainy days, snowy days in oregon when i'm in california, making hella good food, beanie revival, material obsessions, infinite love for bagels and cream cheese, political school bullshit, war on roommate, juice fixation, friends who love you that aren't douchebaggy either, honesty, blood pulsing through your veins, rejection, acceptance, om nom nom-ing, optimism.

that might be half of it. and i really can't express in words how fulfilled i feel in life right now esp. because of a certain hunk who has been brightening my days. i think i might slowly inch my way back into the blogosphere just because it's nice to remember things that happened. and i'm paying for it. i stopped because life was too much of the same thing, but now life is always enough of the best things. knock on wood. i feel like my old self again. how is everyone?

THE NETWORK ARE PLAYING A SHOW?!

srsbsns, guys, the network is back HOW LONG HAS EVERYONE KNOWN AND NOT TOLD ME?!

i haven't been commenting, or updating, or much of anythinging, and i apologize! please accept this with an amazing short cartoon that changed my life.

( PICSPAM: New Pornographers Concert, Outing with The Lesbians to Seattle, & Campus Life )

also,

1. crew is the tightest sport to ever exist. the ache afterwards is overwhelmingly refreshing. today we wrote a song to Journey's Don't Stop Believing that went something like don't stop your rowing, hold on to that oaaaaaar and just a starbird girl, rowin' in tacoma laaaake while in the boat. i was stern pair, and i kind of kicked ass.

2. i am still the president, though there have been decisions that i need to be impeached because i steal hallmate's shirts and get drinking citations (BUT IT TOTALLY WASN'T ME, OK). these decisions were revoked by daily show watchings.

3. New Pornographers make my life, so,

( 20 New Pornographers Downloads, ex-lyrics, because I'm hella tired (but the lyrics are amazing) )

4. i'm not sure what i'm doing with mackenzie anymore, because i'm not living the celibate life to prove to him that he's special to me while he fucks around with a thousand girls in walla walla. i am jack's apathetic libido, apparently.

5. want to see: wristcutters: a love story

i just won president of my dorm :x.

i don't know how to feel about this.

IT'S A KICK IN THE PANTS

( the few college pics i've managed to take )

no pictures of our GORGEOUS campus, or the amazing place we camped at (yet). but it's been amazing.

i just got back from a three-day camp with half of my class, where i did theatre games, slept on the beach every night, was covered in bug bites, ate tones of cobbler, overused the word 'sick', did not shower, climbed a rock wall, had incredibly deep and amazing conversations, and met all my best friends for life. also, i have a cold D:

now back to the supernatural marathon my roommate and i are having! i miss everyond D: i swear i'll be back on the same page as everyone else soon.

1. THANK YOU to all the happy-birthdays!

2. THANK YOU to everyone who replied to the last post. I was hardcore down after a huge fight with my mom bleeding into having to take my driver's test. Needless to say, the emotional stress made me fail miserably. I mean it. it was pretty bad.

3. Superbad is the funniest shit you will see, EVER. Boop, boop, boop.

4. College is so amazing. I've met a lot of amazing people and done a lot of amazing things. First night was "play field" which was running around in a giant field with a bunch of freshman playing really weird name games. Second night was advising courses, and a few workshops that i can't even remember now. Last night we had an amazing I am Puget Sound workshop where we got into groups and talked about discrimination. My group rocked, because we actually understood discrimination, and we had a really deep and meaningful conversation ending in a group hug. Then, in this giant auditorium we sat in chairs and faced each other, and the leader of the workshop started listing out different things that we define ourselves by, experiences that we've had, and we shared stories just by standing up when he called out who we were. It was silent, and people were crying. It was really intense. And today, best by far, we drove around, did workstudy, joked, did lame volunteer service that involved cookies and juice, and then i met an amazing group at the pizza cellar during an intense round of Daily Show + Classic Rock + Ping Pong, where we then went to a dorm and watched Mystery Science Theatre before staying up until three to watch the lunar eclipse. We drank chai and joked about marlbs & carbs, stds, pretentious crap, and now my friend is totally taking me down for ALC. Then a dude that i know ran through the sprinklers. It was magical.

Also, "Obama? It's like Obama's eating the moon! WE AS AMERICANS MUST TAKE THIS MOON, AND WE MUST EAT IT."

And, "I want to go to the rooftops and scream, I love my roomate!"

Driving around town, Stadium Highschool, Sparkle Magic Boots. The love does not end.

I feel like i want to die.

1. I AM OFFICIALLY LEGAL. scary, innit?

2. Josh-from-Exchange and I went to see the premiere of Young Frankenstein this weekend up in Seattle and shopped and ate asian food and it was AMAZING. I miss that kid so much. He's living on Capital Hill and i am JEALOUS but will get to see him all the time, because Seattle is going to be like, ten minutes away from Tacoma.

3. I am getting my tattoo in eighteen hours!

4. Memorable moments from seventeen: senior year, black holes and revelations, beginning of the first-and-worst-job ever, parental drama, cookiegate-in-which-i-almost-got-sued, rotary kids!, dresden dolls, Welcome To The Black Parade, >TREYFACE :):), ELECTION '06 , AMAZING trip to Washington DC & the House Next Door blowing up, continuous, ongoing boy drama, being back in Japan, The Foreigner, Rotary Kids Part Deux! this time with munchies, field trip to ashland, JcPenney, graduation, living with James, and Enchanted Forest!, meeting Mark Hoppus!, Laramie Project, Doctor Who, Supernatural, Amelie, learning to drive, and a frillion other things.

It wasn't as crazy as sixteen, with not nearly as much freedom, inspiration, or drunken sex-happenings, but it was still pretty amazing :) gotta say.

eighteen is going to beat them all though, i think.

Sans toi, les émotions d'aujourd'hui ne seraient que la peau morte des émotions d'autrefois.

Without you, today's emotions would be the scurf of yesterday's.

my ex-boyfriend's ex-girlfriend's sister's boyfriend (also known as RYAN) came into work yesterday. he's a mormon now. that was awkward.

Phantom pain, also called deafferentation pain, anesthesia dolorosa, or denervation pain, is pain that is felt in a part of the body (usually an extremity) that either no longer exists due to amputation or is insensate as a result of nerve severance.

1. he called me and we talked for two hours tonight. i missed his voice. we're so full of bullshit. we skirt the issues, and i let him walk all over me. i miss us, all innocent and stupid, bright-eyed when he was a bag boy and i was something different. i miss talking for hours without the bitterness underneath, and i miss saying the dumb three words that are overly cliched and mean nothing and too much simultaneously, and not being afraid (of the way he responds verbally & to himself, of it really not meaning anything). i miss when there really wasn't an ex-girlfriend who ruined my life, and i miss not having demons that drive me insane every single day. i miss moments of silence where i didn't think about manipulative twentysomethings, and saying cliched things like 'i think we need to see other people.'

2. i miss kylie. i miss stuart. i miss knowing what i can and can't have.

3. i miss japan, and being myself, not being weighed down by small-town bullshit and high school drama. i miss strangers and optimism. i miss tomorrow really being a New Day where anything can happen.

4. i miss being able to write. i miss inspiration. i miss the connections between words where they reach another side of you. i miss having that side of me.

so affections fade away, or do adults just learn to play the most ridiculous, repulsive games?

Skanky Coworker: so like oh my god-- have you ever like, kissed a girl?
Delaney: ... [Skanky Coworker], I've had sex with girls :\
Skanky Coworker: OH MY GOD, ME TOO!
Delaney: *trips over coat rack and falls onto floor*
Skanky Coworker: *oblivious* THAT'S SO AMAZING!

SO. before i go to work i want to make a post in dedication to the most amazing invention mankind has been able to achieve. the wheel? you may ask. no, no, it's much better than that. The tampon. Dear tampon, i am so happy we settled are differences and are now bff. I WOULD BE LOST WITHOUT YOU.

HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT, I CAN'T BELIEVE I DIDN'T REALIZE WHAT DAY IT IS TODAY.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY masae <3<3<3
