tell me a story, tell me what you think about me, something that is on your mind, something you regret, anything.

but comment anonymously.

so i know i put this up a few months ago and never did it, but now that i have a computer that actually works, i can go for round two this time and actually do it!

Ask me to take a picture of any aspect of my life that you're interested in - it can be anything from the house I live in to my favorite shoes. Leave your choice here as a comment, and I will reciprocate by taking the pictures and posting them as an LJ entry. That way you get to know a little bit about my life, if you're remotely interested in it.

PROF. CHACONAS (English Professor): do you have some ideas you want to write for your paper?
LISE: yeah, the first one is pretty obvious and typical, which is gay marriage.
PROB. CHACONAS: what's your other idea?
LISE: lady gaga and her relation to the illuminati...
HALF THE CLASS: THAT WOULD BE AWESOME.

on the way home, i did research and lmfao, there are so many awesome things about it:
lady gaga, the illuminati puppet part one
lady gaga, the illuminati puppet part two
lady gaga's bad romance - the occult meaning

i was reading all of these to my dad on the way home today; we were very amused.

The Nazis felt a need to identify all art that was somehow degenerate or Entartete though degenerate is probably a poor translation of the use the Nazis made of this sign, for to them it included all things Jewish, Communist, along with mental illness, gay and lesbian behavior, transgender, and expressionist and modernist.

Along with exhibitions of Degenerate Art Entartete Kunst the Nazi government identified certain music, composers and performers as Entartete Musik, these included:

Berthold Goldschmidt

Ernst Krenek

Erich Wolfgang Korngold

Arnold Schoenberg

Bruno Walter

Anton Webern

In 1938 Nazi Germany passed an official law on Jazz music. Not surprisingly it deals with the racial nature of the music and makes law based on racial theories. Jazz was “Negroid”; It posed a threat to European higher culture, and was therefore forbidden except in the case of scientific study.

i love reading things like this. only i would be interested in it, right? lmfao

EDIT:

Who's Afraid Of the Big Bad Wolf by Charlie and His Orchestra

Listen to the BBC, BBC, BBC,
Listen to the BBC, tra-la-la-la,
Who's preaching world democracy, democracy, democracy?
Who wants to make free people free? tra-la-la-la
First they won the war in France,
Then they said they no chance,
Each time the Germans did advance,
How could they have a chance?

They told stories so divine,
Oft'n marched across the Rhine,
Germans eat only rats and mice,
But in England all was fine,
Bye-Bye Churchill, BBC, BBC, BBC
Your tricks won't work with Italy, tra-la-la-la,
Why not give us different news, different news, different news,
Skip those Soviets, skip those Jews, tra-la-la-la

so creepy.

certainly had a busy past few days! friday i invited my parents to lunch, which was wonderful. :) i missed them, so it was good to see them. they took me shopping (i bought three new dresses, a veil, and an umbrella! all at forever21). then i went to boogabooga_xx's house to watch movies, drink mike's hard lemonade, and play with her ferret. ♥

saturday, went to the national portrait gallery with laura, then we went to urban outfitters and because they had a sale, i got a skirt, shoes, a music box, and a soap dish, all for $31 when it was originally $63! then we went back to her place and watched rear window and the man who knew too much (the one with james stewart and doris day). i've seen both of them, but they're so good. :') i will forever love hitchcock.


( lmfao one of my roommates and her boyfriend are kissing as i type this. how do they not see me scowling. )

what i wore last night to go to sex shops and eat at five guys at dupont circle with my roommate and her friends.

( +++ )

fashion post! it'll make me both happy and wish i had more money lmfao.

( mainly modcloth )

i bought a homeless man food yesterday. found out that if i don't have a GPA of 2.0 by the end of my 3rd semester i'll be kicked from the school. i have a project do today and i'm still at a loss what to do because we only had one day to work on it and i was too busy having school.

i feel lost.

SO, the episode left me with such an unsettling feeling (i think it's supposed to) and i have to discuss it with someone.

LET'S TALK ABOUT THE RECENT EPISODE OF MAD MEN and how utterly freaking mindblowing it was.

spoilers will be in the comments, so if you haven't seen it omg avoid this post, it will ruin it so bad for you.

flist, i thought i should share the music i am enjoying today. i'm sick with bronchitis and the skies are cloudy, but a pretty sort of cloudy. this music goes along perfectly with it. ♥

✪ mel tormé - harlem noctourne
✪ vic damone - on the street where you live (guys did you know doris day did her rendition of this song? so amazing! i don't think there's anyway to ruin this song, though. it also makes me want to pull out my record of the my fair lady soundtrack and listen to it.)
✪ percy faith - a theme from a summer place
✪ ennio morricone - the ecstasy of gold

also, i'm watching films starring zarah leander today (and maybe tomorrow if laura wants to watch them with me while we're over at my parents).


swedish actresses are always the most gorgeous aaaahh.

Misanthrope or misanthropist.

A person who has a general dislike or distrust for the human race. Although they dislike the majority of the human race they can function considerably well in sexual and friendly relationships. They are often humored and disgusted by the human species. They are not often harsh or bitter people.

this is the only thing that has ever described me so well.

this is the creepiest thing i have ever watched, i really love it.

i told my dad about the whole incident last night (at like eight in the morning lmfao) and his boss let him take off work to see me. i'm not doing terrible, i have extreme whiplash, some scrapes here and there, my ass and back hurts like crazy, and i have a bruise on my knuckles, but i think those are all from the impact of the fall rather than the car hitting me itself (the car hit my right side, but my entire left side is the one that hurts). thank you everyone for your comments and concerns!

he told me to skip class and to take a tylenol and just relax. so, of course i am not going to go to class today! which means, FOUR DAY WEEKEND. (i e-mailed my teacher about it too, but she hasn't gotten back to me. i have a project to due today and i don't want it to be late, but i really can't send it through e-mail since RAW files are gargantuan and she wants both 120 RAW and 5 best in JPEG, so i hope i'm not counted off for that?)

either way, i am going to watch movies all day in my bed! it's freezing outside, but the rain is pretty, and my apartment is perfect warm temperature, so you can bet that i'm going to get lost in czech and french films today. ♥

i had the best breakfast today. apple strudel and milk, mmmm.

lmfao i just got hit by a car, MY LIFE JUST FLASHED BEFORE MY EYES.

i'm okay, though, guys. thank god. a lady said i had a guardian angel and a lady who was holding an umbrella for me was really pretty. 8D god i'm so thankful it didn't turn out worse and that i just got a few cuts and OH MY GOD THE ADRENALINE IS RUSHING THROUGH ME RIGHT NOW.



i'm kinda wondering about the guardian angel thing. i wonder if it's my mom?

i am tired of trying to understand people and what they do. i don't get why people think the world revolved around them and them alone. maybe it's the cynic in me, the misanthrope in me, i honestly don't care.

understanding people and their situations is something i can do easily. yes, i understand if you're busy, yes i understand if you're having a tough time, i understand if you're low in money or you feel lonely, yes i understand if you've met new people, i've been there too. but suddenly, when i'm the one who's busy, who is low in money, who is determined to finish schoolwork or get the more important things done first before there's any real time for me to relax, then why is it all of a sudden they start acting like i'm the enemy? i've never treated you like you were an enemy for being busy, i've never treated you an enemy for not understanding something. so why is it, when all of a sudden, i'm the one who is cruel?

really, i don't get human nature at all. and maybe that's why i'm so disconnected from the world sometimes, because i'd rather get away from people than be with them sometimes. i'm no recluse, i'm a completely social person, but most of the time humanity just loves to turn it's bitter ugly head around and bare it's teeth at me when they've done the same exact thing.

(in reality, i suppose it makes sense that i want to be a photographer/film maker. i know there are people out there who are in the same situation i am and who just want to escape into something because humanity wears them out more and more everyday. i'm accepted, but never understood.)

SOME INTERESTING THINGS ABOUT SCHOOL that you could probably care less about:
- my english teacher looks just like natalie wood and i continuously stare at her expecting to sing a song from west side story. i have contemplated asking if she is in a relationship with steve mcqueen.
- PHOTOGRAPHIC DESIGNS IS SUCH A FUN CLASS. i love the professor and she always asks me questions about film noir lighting relating to photography or mentions the 50s and 60s just for me. ♥ i love that we actually have lectures in this class about photography.
- also, i'm thinking of taking some film and fashion classes since your school let's us take classes for other majors (most which will be relevant to my major, of course). i'm thinking of taking intro to film studies, intro to film noir, fashion history, media and advertising design, advertising copywriting, business of advertising, and survey of advertising. although, i doubt i will be able to get all of those in since i'm taking associates because my parents think if i get a stable job in photography after i graduate next fall that i will somehow be able to go for bachelors. somehow this just sounds weird to me and it makes me uneasy. :(
- i can see why i didn't pass intro to design applications. my professor didn't actually even take the time to teach us photoshop/illustrator/indesign. it's sad that i learned more in my first class than i did the entire last quarter.
- idk i need to upload some pictures on here or something. i'm sure you guys are skipping over this entry right now. :D

edit:

To dream that you are being teased, suggests that you are behaving or acting inappropriately in some waking situation. You are not taking your actions seriously. Alternatively, it also indicates that you are feeling victimized by others or by circumstances. The dream may also be a metaphor for someone who is being "a tease", perhaps even yourself.

apparently, i am a tease.
