To forget would be both a blessing and a curse. To be rid of all the pain and horror that haunts you, would help to make those wounds disappear. But to sacrifice that was has be learned from that pain, might not be worth it.

I freely admit that I live in the past. I find solstice in it. I cannot bare to forget things. In my eyes, it is almost sacreligious. I know first hand what it's like to forget. To look upon your family, upon people you see every day and not have any idea who they are. Once i started to remember it scared the hell out of me that i could forget, and to be honest it still does. I still have moment when my mind goes blank and i know nothing, who i am, where i am, what I'm doing, its like being swept into an eternal darkness for those moment, completely lost. It's one of the more horrible and scariest things...

I"m afraid now that I'm starting to forget again. Everything is become blurred, as i suppose it does with time. But i don't really have any more reminders to help me remember. Nearly everything from home has been destroyed. Everything that i loved and cherished is gone. All the pictures are gone. All the links to my family have been broken. All i have now is what i can remember from stories, which are fading from time. My history, my past...all being slowly erased.

The good times have all been a single perfect lie.

It's been said that without a past you can have no future...is my future being erased as well?

I don't know about the rest of you doorknobs, but when I watch porno I watch porno to enjoy myself. Why is it, then, that so many porno editors decide that the greatest thing in the world is switching from a so, so hot chick to a hairy, nasty ass and balls? Seriously that looks like someone shaved the ass end of a fucking goat. The absolute WORST is when it happens right at the moment of orgasm - I'm staring at the chick's cooter or whatever, kleenex at the ready, then BAM, the screen is filled with the devil's tetherball set and I'm feeling strange about my orgasm for the rest of the day.

One of these days I'm going to meet the person who thought that was a good idea, and I'm going to shit in his heart.

I'm going to take a poetry class and am terrified.

There once was a person called Sam
Who, for lunch, always had half a ham.
As he was in great haste
He thought not of the waste
That unthinking young person named Sam.

There was an old woman whose marrow
Had become both quite brittle and narrow
So she filled up on milk
And slept only on silk
That kind soul of unfortunate marrow.

There once was a man from Bordeaux
Who acquired a cast iron toe
When we asked whose it was
He replied “One whose flaws
“Are the only part I’ll ever know.”

There was a kind person from York
Who took meals with a spoon and a fork
When offered a knife
He’d cry out with great strife
That cowardly creature of Cork!

There was a young waif called Deanna
Who was forc'ed to eat a banana
When they cried “Down the hatch!”
She replied “What’s the catch?”
A suspicious young person, Deanna.

Well, well, well. Well well well well well. Well well well well well well well well well well. Well.

Here I am at home here at home. Now I think: I can't believe I drew on my walls! and: I don't even remember doing that.

I'm pretty restless. If anyone's up for Saint Pete's or Marsh Creek, well, so am I. What a happy coincidence. So call me up and maybe we'll go there.

I started reading this book when I was around seven or eight. For the record, I am now thirteen and will be fourteen in a little less than two months. I absolutely fell in love with this book when I found it on a book shelf in my first grade classroom. While I am sure older readers will fail to appreciate the wonders this book has to offer, for a beginning reader like I was, it is a treasure that paints a picture in your mind of how the story plays out; never mind a lack of description or reality. Unfortunately, I never was able to finish this book, for it was stolen from my cubby hole before I was even halfway through, and I could never find it in any library so that I might finish it. However, from what I read that I can remember, it's the perfect book for the first grader in us all. And now that I have found it here, I am sure I will order it someday soon, and get re-aquainted with the first grader in me.

Thanks (a poem)

Emmett's life story (another poem

Tue, 02 Aug 2005 21:54:44 GMT

on jan 17 1990 emmett tyrus quinn moskowitz was born
i wasnt too loud of a baby
i was the second in my family
mostly i jsut slept
i was born into a fairly wealthy family, my father working in film
so a few years passed and i enjoyed toys
i didnt have any friends yet
but i had my brother and my good cousin sean
so a few years went by
my sister was born in september 91
i went to preschool in my local synagogue
in phoenixville. here i learned jewish morals and values but also basic things like the alphabet, coloring and clean up time
i made three good friends
Jake Walker
Drew Good (who was actually a christian) and David Rothstein
in the middle of preschool there was a contest for m&ms
what the next color would be
i was very excited by it
the next color of course being _____
?
EMMA
CMON
YOU KNOW IT
Emma: green
blue
Emma: oh
so we decided to move from our old house
where i spent many days looking throug Zoobooks and sucking my mums teats
i shared a room with my brother in our first house
well a new house was being built for us at 1035 davis lane chester springs pa
my mom directed the opperation
shes into that stuff
in the meantime we sold our houe and moved into a rental house
the rental house was carpeted
we had lots of babysitters
once a babysitter gave me a starburst (we really liked them) and told me not to show my bro and his friend
but i promptly went outside and pulled it out of my mouth and told them that it looks like a boxing glove
they rushed in tro collect their own starbursts
my babysitter was upset with me
during this time i began to enjoy many computer games
including Thinking things and some treehouse one
and some other educational ones
but my favorite was Prince of Persia
classic game
beat it again last year
i liked the cereal kix a lot and papa would read us Pooh stories when we were good
we all celebrated the jewish holidays and also the christian ones cus my mum is a gentile
well
i saw my first pg 13 movie in that house
i was 4
The Mask
i loved it
we then moved into the new house
i remember my brother and i were in the car with my grandmother within the first week we moved in and we were trying to tell her where to go
we got terribly lost
finally we made it though
this grandmother dresses in black always and wears tinted glasses and has an apartment with lots of modern art
shes that type of grandma
shes a jew too
we call her mumsy
her husband pop pop
when i was little
at this point
i was about 4
i was most scared of dogs and clowns
our parents would take each one of us on a "special day" once in a while where they basically took us around and let us have a fun time
once my mum took me to ribbits
you might remember it
maybe you are too young
i dont know
well anyway there was a clown there who came around to our table
as i was eating my sunday
and i jumped onto the table ran across and cimbed onto my mommy in tears
and then the clown went away and my mom had to feed me likea beb
e
WELL
i went to circuses a lot
i liked the band Trout Fishing in America
they were kind of like childrens folk
i saw her at waterloo gardens once
at this kids corner concert or something
we used to go there a lot with my other granny
i liked that place
sooooo
we were just moving into my new house
and nothing too significant happened
i used to swing on the vine hanging from a tree in my front yard a lot with my brother
once we cut it down though
i went through preschool
friends remaining
i then went to kinderkinder
at Vincent Elementary
big school
this is where i met mike horwitz
we became best pals
we would play almost everyday afterschool
i also met some others
like dan rosato
whoo i still know
oh and i couldnt forget boomer
though he moved by first grade
once i went to his birthday party
i played the aladin video game on super nintendo
kinergarden was a breeze and fun too
i stayed after my am class three days a week for the YMCA program
a women named Debra was the main person there
once i told her that the penguins suck
and she spit her lunch right out laughin
cause i said suck
and i was in kinderman
Emma: kinderman
i was THE kinderman
my teacher loved me
Miss Rustad
(now Mrs Sensenee or some shit)
she still prides me as being one of her greatest students
she still remembers me
i had learned to count to 100 by this time
i could read lots of 3 letter words too
in first grade i was reading all the dr suess stuff
it was in first grade where i met some boys Erich Miskewics, Randy Miller, Sean Calkin
(at this time i was still goin to hebrew school every sunday so i still saw those guys too)
except of course drew
who wasnt a jew
but we still saw each other every now and then
i had an awful teacher in first
mrs hartert
wow she was awful
and i picked my nose a loyt
i wrote a book about aliens coming to earth
and then a guy saving the world
it was like 10 pages long
i tried to be serious about it too
i was in 1st grade
yeah
2nd grade we had the same teacher
by this time i was becoming best friends with Sean Calkin
still chiln with mike but we didnt have the same teacher so not as much
we were on the bus together
i named my bookbag Scruff
his was Rover
they got in fights a lot
i was getting really into computer games by this time
i loved Command and Conquer
Eradicator3Myth
Age of Empires
i did spice girls impresssions for people
they laughed
i liked rage against the machine though
so did my student teacher
so i had a crush on her
i also loooved legos
i started spending all my time with legos
and sean
we would built so much lego stuff
yeah
my brother always destroyed the stuff though
he was a mean fucker
in the summers we would go to stone harbor with my grandparents and their family
(mums)
i liked the beach
i dont like it anymore
but i really liked it
i liked nickolodean too
mtv
i also watched a lot of
3rd grade was crazy cuz i had to go to hebrew school on wednesdays too
well i went to toronto
before third
i liekd it
that summer i also got in a ROW with sean
we stopped talking
it was over something stupid
we made up in third grade since mike was in our class and they had made friends
so we all hung out together at recess and all that
for third grade we had mrs LERCH
i liked her
we started getting REAL homework
that was due THE NEXT DAY
in third grade i also met kevin and jerry
kevin was my friend on and off really
he becomes more important later in the story
jerry and i became pretty good friends
stopped tlakikng to drew really
quite sad
i saw him at the science fair the next year though
thord grade was fun though
i mean
we had show and tell
poeple liked to show their furbies
i never had one though
Emma: me either
Emma: Ihad a tamagatchi
Emma: but it was a ripoff one

JUST KIDDING IM IN 5TH
so anywayyy
my family decided theyd build a pool in our backyard
those fuckers
i really liked to swim though
in 4th grade ol pooly opened
my friends liked to swimin my pool
so 4th grade is kind of a blur
oh right
i had mrs boegly
and the sumemr before that i began going to campo in vermont
which was a life changing experience
i made a good friend Scott
and i went for 5 years
ok
well
at frist camp was like UGH THIS SUCKS
and then by the s\econd week
you are so into it
and you become friends with the staff
oh my first year though
they had these showers where erveryone was in like one big shower
instead of seperate ones
and that was NOT cool
man
man o man
and there was this really fat pale kid form ohio named Tommy Vale
he was so stupid
he was also really rich
and he somehow manipulated everyone to be his friend
except me and scott
(my itunes always plays fucing of montreal and i dont even fucking likethem it thinks they are my favorite band or something)
so tommy would host concerts in his tent
inviting everyone but me and scott
he had a really high pitched voice
pokemon cards started here and in school the next year things heated up
i never bought a pack
but everyone had em
this was not a great year
bad teacher
not a lot of friends in calsses
though i met andrew piskai
who became a good freinds
we would draw on magazines together in calss
that summer nothing significant happened second year at camp yadayaddayaddasaf
5th grade was best year of all time
i had andrew and jerry and sean and mike all in my class
god my gym teacher hated me
that year for field day he chose everyone except for the kids he ahted as helpers
but we had a great teacher Mrs Stewart hall
HAll
Hall
in calss we would spend like alll our time making powerpoints or playing dredel or table hockey
or something
it was very lax
i had a crush on cydney fox
in addition to abby skolitz
last year mike and i left a creepy question in the ask abby question of her website
it was about 4 pages long
Emma: aboutwhat?
and we insulted just about everyone we knew
about how emo sucks
or something
and she shoudl listen to pure metal
or something
but we did it in the form of an aim chat room
whcich we made up the whole thing
and we made it all peopel we know
and gave them stereotypical personalities
that was aobut half
and then it just went into craziness and at the end it asked if she could figur out who it was
if she did she gets a free icecream
it was funny
she was really freaked out
finally we told her it was us
well in 5th grade i stabbed my brother in the leg with a pencil
the graphite got lodged into hi\s leg and he had to go to the hospital
the only time i was ever grounded
i was mad
we got in a lot of fights back then
sean was on our bus that year
which was a wlecome addition to the crew of me and mike
his parents got divorced
he hated his dad
his dads british
i dont think they ever talk anymore
weird
we went to london in 5th grade
i liekd it
it was all touchy when i left 5th grade
they tried to make it some big graduation shit
but i had no idea of all the corruption that lay ahead of me
all the choices and mistakes id make
its a shitty world
and im just a shitty guy
ok
so newae
over that next summer we got a dog
his name was beanie
hes a beagle
he was 4 when we adopted him
in 5th grade i showed my drawings off to everyone
i mean 6th
i really liked girls
and was sad cus it was confusiong u no
i had my first orgasm
it was weird
i didnt knoww hat it was
it hurt
um
i got a radio thing
a stero type system
a smallish one
i listened to y100 a lot
Emma: it hurt?!
yes
Emma: why?
cause it was the first time i didnt get the feeling yet
it was new
and painful to me
i had to get used to it
but it was intriguing
well i got a chinchilla in january for my brithday
i named him disco
i didnt have friends in my calsses which sucked
but i made some neew ones
Kyle Simmons
Nick Reinhart
they both liked to draw and comics like me
(i was getting really into comics)
well 6th grade was all in all ok i guess
it was a confusing year
we had to school in a church across from ojr
they didnt have room for me
over that summer
shit happened
mike had a birthday party
i went to it
here i met a boy named elliot wilson
and it all began
like a bomb exploding
we immediately connected
even though i thought id hate him
we both liked pretty gay stuff
elliot gelled his hair up and made stupid sexual jokes
we talked about the singer of drowning pool dying
sean started to love elliot so we became a kind of little group
but sean went too far
he became really annoying with his elliotness
that year we all sat together at the same table
Nick kept lying to impress us though
so we eventually kicked him out
we invited kyle to the table in the beginning though
he was a hit
oh he was a HIT
he became everyones new best friend
everyone thought they trusted him
and why wouldnt they he was a nice kid
creative too
he was basically my new best friend
though we didnt do much out of school
we loved system of a down together
he moved away
but well get to what happened to him later
but nyway
i grew my hair real long
so did mike
and then kyle began
and i was kind of a funnyguy
a clowner
and i guess my jokes went too far with kyle
and we got in a series of fights toward the end of that year
end he kept going out with new giurls
and elliot and i were getting pretty tight
i got really into radiohead
blur
queens of the stoneage
kyle like radiohead too
oh i found htis site
called ledheavy.com
i was still really into comics
more than ever
this guy
artist
Skottie Young
i thought he was like IT
so i started posting on the forum a whole bunch and so all my friends started
and then some
and then irealized that skottie sucks at art and everyone there has bad taste
and so i stopped posting
nick still posts there to this day
elliot does too
but as a joke
well by the end of that year my friendship with kyle was pretty much over
it was good run
he became the biggest asshole id ever met
i dont know what happened
he was so nice
but as he grew his hair longer
got better at guitar
he was just
ugh
so sean moves
.
its pretty tragic
he was a good friend
elliot and i are still friends with him
we hang out everyonce in a while
i like him a lot
he has a great family too
he catn type for shit though
look at his hebronix posts
at the end of 7th i had my barmitzvah

i went to camp for the last imte
got really into the flaming lips and beck
which led me to neutral milk hotel

Emma: I'm a genius

rachel is this girl who comes up to our table each day
and says to sean "becky wants to tlak to you"
cause they were like d8ing
beckys first kiss
aw i wish i still knew becky
then
rachel had this big crush on ELmarr
and elliot told her that i am the only one understands him
so she began talking to me
shes like "what does he mean by that"
so then we started to talk online a howle lot
i introduced her to lots of music
and shit
then she went to upatinASS
.
so hebronix
hebronass
well we had this concept to show off our art and \design and shit

i started to take japanese
cause i thought it would be interesting
i was right
i went to spain during thanksgiving with mumsy
mike was a pimp by this time
he got all the chicks
still does
but 8th grade was basically the elliot and emmet go solo year
we didnt do much chillin with much others
it was nice
but we both felt like such outcasts
or something
and secretly pined for something new and awesome
well
8th grade passed
i dont remember it too well to be honest
it was all a druggy haze really
lol
elliot and i doin our thing really
kevin was becoming a better friend
i was slowly driftin away from jerry

well she kept tlaking to me
and we became pretty good friends
then i went o france
and i listened to ride a lot
and sufjan stevens
and neil young
in france i figueed out why uncle Art isnt part of the family anymore
its because hes a sex addict and he kept putting all the money into pornography sites
he was pretty sick it turned out

mike became less a part of my life

The Jackson Five were in my dream last night!

Fri, 11 Mar 2005 03:29:06 GMT

Today was an in-service day at L. Middle School. Molly woke up at 10:30 after falling asleep the night before around six pm. She and her friend Amanda went to the E. Mall. They shopped at H&M and Banana Republic, among other stores. She went home briefly before going back to E. to take a dance class at BMD Performing Studio. She came home approximately two hours later and heated a serving of spaghetti and meatballs that was provided by her friend, Jackie. Molly accidentally rested a purse that she had bought only hours before on the spaghetti sauce, and spent some time washing the purse in her sink. Molly then went upstairs to do homework on her computer. She plans to go to bed before midnight.

I have a few things to say.

Twinkle, twinkle, little bat
How I wonder where you're at!
Up above the world so high
Like a tea tray in the sky...
Twinkle, twinkle, little bat
How I wonder where you're at.
