hai! random thoughts.

sometimes i have some really spiffy thoughts (to me they're spiffy..), BUT i always forget to write them down....

my fam went to barnes & noble to buy my brother's book for english. [i couldve used my gift card! but i forgot.] 
my mom found this book with all these ancient black and white photos of roslindale in the early 1900s, and i recognized so many places. emack & bolios!, sacred heart church, and a building down the street from sacred heart school. interesting to see that there a big school in roslindale square, which got demolished and turned into a parking lot, which got built on and is now a medical center. and roslindale high school! which is now a housing builing for the oldies. i think it was open for only 50 yrs before it closed down.... i wonder if any of the oldies living there attended the high school? but yeah whenever i pass by that building, i always have this feeling of 'i wish i could build a time machine, & go back and time and see what it was liiiike' like urkel did. i have this fascination with old things, old old memories from the lives of other people. which is why i love antiques roadshow so much? iderno. roslindale high reminds me of nantasket beach.... in early july(?) i spent the day there with jj, francis, maan & her bf jason. it was a really great daaay! i had so much fun! and we got in the car just in time before a thunderstorm came. but when i got home, i just felt like randomly googling nantasket beach. and i found out that there used to be a theme park there?! it was called "paragon park" & it closed down in 1984... and my mom remembered it too when i mentioned it once. i was browsing thru paragonparkmemories.com, and there were so many people writing about their memories of going to the park and beach every summer w/ their fams, eating taffy, and spending all their money at the penny arcade. it's all sooooo amazing to me. no wonder so many old people hang out at the beach! hey... i'm thinking of a song... something something built a parking lot over paradise. i swear the artist has the word 'crow' in it. fudge. hold on...no i remember now. "pave paradise & put up a parking lot" i always thought john mayer sang lead in that song. im gonna check now lol. okkkie i was mega wrong about the john mayer part, but correct about the title and almost correct about the artist. "counting crows - big yellow taxi"... song has a nice message. but yeah! they demolished "Paragon Park" and built condos instead... psh. i bet kids that went to that amusement dreamed of bringing their own kids there one day, and now that they probably have grandkids by now, they are still not over the fact that it's gone. wtf... i keep seeing this image in my head. like a ghost park w/ tumbleweed, and ripped flags, and creaky fences. but are the memories dead now? i think yess and no; i mean they're still alive in the minds of the people who used to go there, but dead as in, they can never go on those roller coasters again, dead. now that i think about it, it's interesting how i like things from the past, but don't like my actual history class right nw. idk. i'd rather be there in that time period and see how things happened myself, not just read about it. or maybe i don't think i'm great at history because of the teachers i've had.... ms. arnold was awesome, but i didn't study and always did projects last min. mr. glavin... haha oh, mr. g; the sub who only taught for one yr. [bcus ms filipi passed away :\] funny story bout him, tho. one day there was this extremely obvious hickie looking mark on his neck, and he wouldnt admit it was a hickie. he supposedly got attacked by a wild beast. i enjoyed watching movies in that class! [uhh... glory, mulan, the prince of egypt, i didn't enjoy ben-hur] but i didn't really study very well, and bombed the quizzes. then last year i had ms. p..... not fun. )"......... apparently she orgasms when rubbing beaver fur and has admitted to watching popcorn. wtf! i did enjoy some of her guest speakers. again, i didn't do too great in this class because of my studying... un-habits. and now i have mr h. for ap us. seems okay right now. his eyes are so blue mang! i love blue eyes. (ah.. the magic of contacts) i have a feeling they wouldn't look too great on me though. my eyes are so so dark and huge. kind of like an alien. LAWL. 

darn!
i just started ranting instead of writing about the original random thoughts that i planned to write about....
