Clap Hands 
factories and smoke

There are cousins at my house. One is asleep on the couch and the other is registering for college, which starts in three days for her. They are so silly! My dad is rocking in a rocking chair and it is squeaking squeak squeak. Sheesh. My mom is going crazy and being rude. Last night I saw "Vanilla Sky" which led me to the conclusion that if x = Vanilla Sky then (x - scifi)^10 = Mulholland Drive. Which I'm sure everyone will disagree with but I say, let them disagree. It's not that important to me, since neither film is. I also watched the Life of Brian, which I have decided is the best religious film ever.
Speaking of religion I went to church today. It's funny. I keep pushing them back and they keep drawing me in. I haven't seen these people all summer and they still say hi and use my name. The youth pastor is so nice but I just can't be his best friend like he wants me to be. Convo:
jack: well did you take pictures?
kj: oh yeah
jack: well I'd be intereseted in seeing them....the senior high is going to have a Mission Trip picture party if you wanted to go and bring your pictures....
kj: (smiles sadly)
jack: I realize that would be awkward.....
and doug, the bell choir director, who I had been planning to write a letter to explaining why i couldn't do bell choir anymore
doug: are you going to be playing bells with us this year?
kj: well....about that.....
doug: is it getting up? You can come around 11:30
kj: no....it's not that....it's...it's....
doug: yes?
kj: the church......I just don't..................................connect with the church
doug: (seems kind of relieved) ohhh I see... you're just kind of finding your own way right now. Well I just still want you connected to the music part.
kj: sure.
doug: so you'll be there? our first practice is the 3rd sunday in september
kj: ok
god I'm a sucker.
hmm. I'm under house arrest till I write those damn thank you notes. GODDAMMIT. and tomorrow my OTHER cousins are coming. sheesh. heh. do you like reading my church conversations? they're not even funny. oh but church is funny. especially when you see Tommy Bailey there. piece
