well okay, i'm all done. and life feels pretty good right now. it felt like the day after christmas for a while, now i just can't believe i went throught the whole thing. sometimes the last 4 years feel like such a blur. i am so in love right now too. jacob makes me so happy every day. i am on really good terms with my whole family right now, and tim just graduated from high schoo. all of them are on a cruise in the carribean now, i wish i was with them but i have new york to look forward to in just a few days. i have been working a lot lately, more so than i ever have before. well, thats my life. not much too it these days.
also, i don't know how much longer this old livejournal will be around. sadly, i am outgrowing it, and i can only be JOECOLLEGE for only so much longer. |

i should have been doing homework tonight, but for the last several hours i have been reading my livejournal... the early years. DAMN. it's amazing how much i have changed over the last FEW years. at this point i don't really feel all that grown up, but looking back at how i used to think, and the experiences and people i used to value, i really am. there is so much that i am living with right now that seemed so scary just 2 years ago, now it's just a part of my life. really weird, college is really weird. things like boyfriend, graduation, los angeles, jobs, adulthood; they are all here now, and right in my stupid face, and i actually like it. i'm really here, i really made it this far. i'm really here. after all the heartbreaks and failed midterms, i'm still here. my childhood is really over. my stupid college pre-21 years are really over. and in a month, college will be over too. joecollege will be something from the past. wow. sometimes i wish i could just be 20 years old forever, there is a part of me that really really wants it back; i just wish i could live like that forever, in that amzing place between my irresponsible youth and my self righteous adluthood. and as hard as it was sometimes, it was a time that really opened me up to the values of both immaturity and adulthood; but that's the past, yet it still feels like a huge of my present. and future... well here goes nuthin.
okay, goodnight.
peace.

ps... ashley church, i really miss you, and want to hang out soon. |

so just had the best weekend ever. a wekend road trip to canada to see and potentailly meet franz fredinand... i'm so there.
we found a really hip/cheap/gross/hip hotel downtown, and started exploring the city on friday. that night we went to the show, which was awesome, and pulled a fast one on the security gaurds with our expired backstage passes. we wound up in FF's greenroom and had some beer and food with the bands. it was pretty cool, awkward at times, but cool.
day2: really good upscale shopping, sans buying, where i dicovered the greatest store ever: CABAN. go there next you are in canada. do it. then we hit up the thrift stores. hella spend money, and glad i did.
then we met up with chelsea's friend mikey, who bought a panda mask, and gave a grand tour of the city... in the mask.
 
then after an hour at an 'aight late twenty somethings rocker party, we headed to the crackhead part of town, and walked into a really hip, really quite bar. and who was there just sitting at the bar? miss daryl hannah. and who had a cigarette with her and some bitches from her entourage ? me. it was pretty cool, i had a smoke with daryl hannah.
so needless to say, i love vancouver, and had a great trip. and i needed it.

so i'm realy pissed off right now. last night at work i found out that i have been accused of stealing cash from the restaraunt. i feel this goes without saying; but this is completely untrue, and i am in fact baffled as to where these rumors began. so now my co-workers think i've stolen from the tip pool, and thus, their paychecks; and my managers think i'm a thief. this is SO unfair, now i have to go on the defense in the name of saving face, all the while dealing with people who no longer respect me like they used to. i've liked that job for as long as i have had it, but now things feel so different.
also, i've been accused of having a hissy in the back room on saturday night. this also, never happen, nor do i even know what it could be in reference to.
forgive me for quoting a stupid movie, but i feel like i've been taking crazy pills. |

so spring quarter, and thus, spring, is finally here.
this quarter should be pretty easy, which it is nice- as it will be my last. let me repeat that... THIS IS MY LAST QUARTER OF COLLEGE. i really can't believe that it's already here. i'm not going to say how nostalgic i'm getting, or how it "went by so fast," because it didn't. i've worked really hard, experienced devastating failures and gotten through things that seemed utterly impossible. there were moments, at least one per quarter (ask any roommate i've ever had) where i thought i wasn't going to make it. college has been such a great challenge, and not just academically. i am really proud to say that i've made it through all the hard parts, surprised myself in many ways, had some amazing times, and learned a lot about myself and life in the process. but here i am. my last quarter of senior year, nothing left to do but coast to the light at the end of this long and horrendous academic tunnel.
and if anyone at UW still reads this, you should hit me up this quarter, as this is the last time i am likely to see most of you. and i have a break everyday from 1230 to 230, and i need something to do. if you don't call me i'll be stuck laying in the quad with jake.
and life still continues to treat me really well. things are great at work, great with jacob. we went to portland and his AMAZING cabin in southern oregon over spring break. i don't really feel that it's appropriot to gush about about my boyfriend on livejournal, because nobody wants to hear it- nobody hates happy people in relationships more than me- but he makes me really happy, we can leave it at that.
i guess that's it. -joe |

and now it's time for the news.
*i hate school and i am so ready to be done with it. one more quarter and i may never have to worry about school again. and no, i don't want to go to grad school- at least not for a few years. i want to be a real person, not a student. no more tests, or TA's, or homework. i have college-senioritis.
*i think i'm going to try and write a sitcom pilot next quarter for a research project, i thik that's a good direction for me to be going.
*things with jacob are still going really well. i actually had a real valentine's day! this is my first serious realationship and i am really happy being with him. i think my college manwhore days are behind me.
*i don't think i will ever be able to understand my family, ever. my parent are getting along really well these days. i don't get it- but i'm totally okay with it. i guess it's better for this whole thing to baffle me than upset me.
*motherfucking usbank can eat shit. i am broke. i have to live off of thirty five dollars for the next week and a half. week and a half!! but when i think about it, i hardly had any money freshman or sophomore year, back then thirty dollars was a lot of money, but then again, i wasn't buying food or gas.
it's probablly time that i went home. peace. -joe |

i haven't had a "here's what i did today" post in a while, and they can be fun to look back on later.
anyway... good weekend. friday ashley, chelsea, jacob and i went to ballard to check out some bands. i haven't seen real live music in about 564645 years, so it was cool to doing that again. also good to see ashley and corbin, it felt kinda like sophomore year all over again, except now we can get into the bars. we all got tired and left before death cab's "surprise" appearance though... woudl have liked to see that, but oh well.
saturday i met jarold at a dog bar in fremont, and had a great time. then randomly, my mom swung by. j-dogg and i then went to an estate sale in wallingford, estate sales are quite possible the greatest places to ever spend money, it's like a garage sale, except it's all teh stuff that a person actually wanted to keep. i found SO MUCH cool shit, perhaps a photo entry may be in the works so that i may show off my purchases.
sunday was cool. i helped cloe on a flim project, then went to work on the slowest day ever. then the seahawks got into the superbowl- which, oddly enough, i think is really really cool.
i'm getting a bearing on school this quarter, and gettig over this shitty cold. now i think i'll watch some law and order before senior seminar.
peace.

it's been a while since the last post, and there wasn't much else to do tonight.
school went 'aight this quarter. somehow i mangaed to pull a 3.0 in swahili with the absolute minimal effort. i was hoping to just pass the stupid class, so it was a big surprise to get that grade. merry christmas to joe. let's hope i can keep it up.
jacob got me sex and the city season 4 for christmas, and i'm pretty excited about it. oh yeah, i've got a new man and i really like him a lot. i don't really need to go into huge detail here, but it's so far its' working well and we both seen really happy. i'm introducing him to the fam next week- i've never done that before and i'm really looking forward to it.
i still have hella christmas shopping to do. the whole holday season hasn't hit yet, in fact niether has the winter. the fall never hit me either-which is wierd.
oh, i'm excited that ms. stefani is knocked up. about damn time, in honor of this, today i will be using the gwen livejournal icon. oh yeah
i feel like i really had something to say here tonight, this year has given me plenty to talk about, and this phase of my life has been anything but boring, so i'm not sure why i really have nothing to say. |

huh... it's been a while since i've made a real post. i suppose there really hasn't been much to say these days.
thanksgiving was pretty fun, as usual. pretty standand bauer family/kent holiday weekend. i got to see izzy's new apartment last night, we hung out and talked and talked and talked forever. i miss her. i miss kent sometimes too. but i still hate that place soemtimes too, and am glad i don't have to spend too much time there. but ugh, it's home. home. amazing how easily the places we call home can change.
lisa is leaving tommorrow morning. what a pleasure it has been having her live here with us. seems funny that only a few months ago she was just jon's mysterious girlfriend from germany... now she is this amazing person who i have really grown attached too, she's been a part of this house almost the whole time i have lived here, it is going to be hard to see her go, but that's just how things go. a group of us from the house went on the seattle underground tour on wednesday with her, it was pretty fun... i'd post a picture cut if i knew how to. but this isn't the last i'll see of lisa, i'll see her next summer in europe, there will be more of her in the future, but for now i am really going to miss her. kinda a sad night here at the taj.
wow.. i guess there really isn't much else to report on in this post. i have a job that i like. i go to school, and i am ready to be done. i hate the other people in my major so much- i would have dropped it long ago it wasn't the ticket to do what i have always wanted to do. i live in a house with some of my closest friends and i love it so much- even though it is freezing fucking cold in here all the time and my room is always the coldest part of the house.
oh!! i saw gwen at the key on monday night. i don't give a shit about what anyone says about her, or my undying support for her. i loved that show, and i love gwen stefani. i've loved gwen longer that i've had a friendship with anyone, and i plan to continue to support her, no matter where that career goes or what people think about it.
i don't think ther is anything else i could write about here that anyone would even remotly care about. so let's call it a night. peace folks. -joe |

how did i forget to mention this!?
so friday night, before the party, dayna had parked her car in a parking lot on the ave. as we return to the lot, a honda minivan had just parked in front of us, blocking us in, and dayna yells (okay, kinda yells) at the other car, telling them to move. at this moment i realize that the man behind the wheel of the other car is none other than former washington state governer gary lock. ramdom that he was in the u.d. on a friday night, but even funnier that my friend had to yell at him. had to mention it. |
