http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underground_newspaper we had "underground papers" off and on during my time in high school. most were just stupid shit filled with rumors and sexual harassment of hot popular chicks, but we did have one really upscale sorta one. actually they asked permission and got it and everyone knew who they were so it wasn't really an underground paper, more of an alternative press paper. the ones who did it were complaining about how we only published the school paper like 4 times a year so they thought they could do it once a month or more. they got to 4, 5 i think actually, like 2 a week apart, then one a month later, then another 1 or 2 near the end of the year. the last 2 didn't really get seen much cause they only made 1 or 2 hundred copies versus the 3000 students. but it was interesting to read

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Martin so, everytime i go to the mall, i go to the borders express store and read half a chapter of steve martins book Born Standing Up(i think that's the name of it), so i'm on like chapter 2 now i think. i'd read the whole thing for longer periods if i could find it at barnes & noble, where they have chairs to sit and read in. it's not in comedy there, maybe it's in biography... i'll check next time.

- was supposed to drive grandma to the cemetery to see my sisters grave, around 1 or 2. well, at 1230 my grandma asks if i'm ready and (knowing she's not either) say no, and she says she's gonna start getting ready and we'll leave around 2 maybe 3. so at 2:30 i showere and dress, and i'm ready at 3. go back online and wait for her to tell me she's ready, so at 3:30 she tells me she's gonna warm up her car, so i move mine out of the driveway and then she has me put the fruit tray and veggie tray and bbq roast in the trunk, then we're ready to go, at 3:45, drop her at the store to get flowers, and i go gas the car, back at the store parked and waiting at 3:55... and she comes out at 4:28 with half a cart full of stuff, chicken and another fruit tray, and a pack of chocolates and flowers and a vase and a balloon, so then we pick up my bro and niece, and go to the cemetary, where it's my job to fill the vase with water and flowers and the balloon, so i put them at the grave, wait a minute or so, then go wait in the car for 10 minutes or so. my sis's dad shows up, gonna go into the mortuary (i'm sure to avoid my grandma) and she's coming out of the cemetery as he's goin into the mortuary so they say hello's, then we leave, drive back to moms, i eat some chicken and chips and dip and fruit and veggies and watch super troopers, go upstairs and me and my sis watch ungly betty online while they're watching what a girl wants, the online show goes out around the 30 minute mark so i go downstairs instead of waiting for it to come back on, they put on i robot so i watch all of that, my other sis comes home and wants to watch porky's so we do, and blah blah blah, grandma doesn't like it, and neither does my stepdad or mom (and it's me and my 18 year old sis watching it not my niece, but appearantly r rated movies work through osmosis and can get litle kids upstairs through the floor), and my mom asks if i want to go to The Huntington Library and i say no, and so she asks if i can just drive to pick up my sis and nieces and drop them at my other sis at her school and then take my sis to the hunginton library and i say why doesn't she just drive them there, whatever, just wants me to go to taxi people around, all anyone ever wants, and i say no again cause i dont' want to be taxi-ing people around all day and she says,"well, you can use our car", whihc isn't my point, then the stepdad asks if my mom left grandma upstairs alone, and she says brit and daija are there and he says they're on the computer though and my mom whisper yells that if he cares about her mom so much he should go up there then and he yells fine and storms off upstairs (they've both got that "goody goody i'm a good person fake thing and they pretend to be all nice and then explode at the end of things when they aren't getting what they want from saying nice things to people" sorta thing going on) and then when he leaves my moms like maybe you should watch that movie at your house cause then you don't have to worry about the little kids coming in, so i take the movie and get my other movies and tellmy sis to tell grandma i'll be in the car whenever she's ready to go, so i go out to the car and then brit comes out 10 minutes later to say how grandma and mom and john are inside giving them all a lecture about how good people they are and they don't like r rated movies and they're bad movies and they're so good and always listened to their parents blah blah and kara comes out and says the same thing blah blah, i say goodbye then wait another 10 minutes for grandma then she comes out and we go home

- went to bed at 0230ish, woke up a lil after 8, went online for a half hour, then napped for a half hour, got up, showered, ready to go at 10.
- got an email this morning before i left to drive grandma around all day, gotta figure a way to help a friend get some cash to get ready for a new job...
- left a lil after 10 to take grandma to a lunch with her friend, in long beach. got there a lil before noon, dropped her, got 2 double doubles and a root beer at in 'n' out, then browsed barnes and noble for an hour or so, read 40 or so more pages in born standing up, then picked up grandma, drove to her lawyers, waited a bit for them to open, then read my book for 15 minutes, then off to home. no real traffic, got home pretty quick, around 3:30.
- worrying about my friend has been buggin me all day... can't figure a way without just flat out asking people for money, and everyone i can ask has already helped me out with money and i don't have anything more i can really pawn... well, that i want to be without by pawning, or selling... i really need to get a job
... i feel so useless
- bed a lil before 1

- up a lil after 8...
not being able to help my friend out more is making me sick i'm gonna do all i can,and have asked some friends and family but they all have stuff they need to pay for too and just tell me once again that i need to get a job, which yes, i know i do it just sucks that i can't help her out more than maybe $100, which we'll see how uch i get paid today, maybe not even that...
