Dear friends,
I am in fact alive :o) As many of you know I took the MCAT's this past Saturday and was quite busy preparing for that hell of an exam. I think I did ok but only time will tell - bastard's won't send me my score until the end of May. Crazy party on Saturday night to celebrate - pictures are on my website so check em out.
Other than that things are going well - I now have to get back into school work mode since I've been slacking off for the past 2 days, but it was needed. I can't wait for this summer - it should be quite interesting, with Roomie staying on this coast (yea it's Maine but it's still closer than Cali!), I'll hopefully be bartending and also shadowing my doctor - which of course means that I'll be driving all over creation all summer - it's fine. My family moved to CT - only to Stamford, so not too far from Harrison (only about 15min with no traffic), so it's not too bad and the house is really nice and has a lot of the stuff in it we didn't have in the old place. I'm not a NY-er anymore though which is sad, but I'll always be one at heart!
Today was Marathon Day in Boston - aka Patriots Day - aka a made-up holiday so we can have off from classes and an excuse to drink. I did not participate in le drinking festivities, but Nikki and I walked down to Copley and watched some of the runners and had ourselves a good afternoon. It was so gorgeous out and I'm sunburned - love it.
That's all for now - Hope everyone's doing well. :) |

First off, I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas (and Happy Holidays if you don't celebrate it). Here I am, back in good ol' Harrison for winter break - an entire month. An entire month of boredom - but at least I have my friends to keep me company, even though we have nothing to do ha. Nothing too exciting to report - end of semester went ok, not as well as I had hoped, but what can ya do? My birthday was nice and relaxing for a change - no sickness like last year and nothing crazy, but it was gooood. Christmas was the usual, some family bickering but that's to be expected when you have so many generations in one kitchen. I got myself a digital camera for Christmas so expect more pics on my other site now (I just posted some pics of my cousins, SO cute, check em out:
Hmm, what else? Oh yes, my laptop broke - COOL. Well, not the laptop persay - just the powercord, which is lovely so I can't charge my batter or turn it on right now. That's going to cost me about $75...who knew a stupid power adaptor was so expensive...bitches.
It's snowing pretty hard out right now. I love it - although my parents and I fought about me driving in it. Eh, I have to learn sometime. Needless to say the snow reminds me of Rooms cause she's always so excited about it - miss you darling ;). Don't know what I'm going to do without her for the next month ha.
That's all I can think of for now. Perhaps more to come after New Years - hopefully something eventful will happen then. |

Well, this past week has been mighty interesting. Drove home Tues night for break - ps, if it ever takes me 5 1/2 hours to get home again, I've decided I'm just not coming back. Stupid traffic.
My uncle was visiting from Alaska so we had dinner with him Wednesday night. I realized how different he is from my dad and my other uncle. Neither my cousin nor I ever really talk to our dads, yet my uncle manages to talk to his step-daughter from his last marriage every other day. It's just so different - not that I would change things persay, but I'm sure my dad could take a few hints.
Thanksgiving was uneventful for once - no family fights or anything of the sorts. Went to Greg's after dinner and Fa and I listened to some of his stuff for the new cd - really good. I'm very impressed. :) Nikki came down Friday night and we went to the city for some quality hooka time and other extravangas. Good times. Saw Amy and Adam on Saturday - they rock my world. I miss you SB'ers :o). Needless to say, I did a lot of work over break too, so it wasn't quite the break I had wanted. Perhaps I'll have that soon.
Yet again, not much else to update about. I lead a pretty boring life lately, as it has been overtaken by school and work, so that's all for now. Only a few more weeks until winter break, and then an entire month at home - what am I going to do with myself?!? |

A teacher asked her class, "What do you want out of life?"
A little girl in the back row raised her hand and said, "All I want out of life is four little animals."
The teacher asked, "Really and what four little animals would that be sugar?"
The little girl said, "A mink on my back, a jaguar in the garage, a tiger in bed and a jackass to pay for it all." |

Oh my life, it's fine. I don't know how I get myself into some of the situations I do, I really don't. But those are stories for another day. Things are going pretty ok here, school's kicking my ass - what else is new? The more time goes by the more I realize how much I still have ahead of me. Ridic.
I babysat Laura's nephew tonight - seriously, if you've ever heard her gush about him, she's not lying - he is one of the cutest kids I've ever seen. Still your typical rambunctious energy-filled child, but adooooorable. Good times - and I'm making some extra cash which I can always use.
Boston's getting cold already - I'm so not a fan of the wind we've had for the past two days. Seriously, I thought I was going to blow off the bridge crossing over the Mass Pike on my way home from work today. Insane. I'm also realizing how much a 10yr old car does not appreciate the cold either - it clearly did not want to start tonight when I went to pick up Nikki from work (cause she's hot but that's besides the point). So, I'll have to just keep my eye on it.
I think I'm out of the weird mood I've been in although I don't know if it will stay that way. I still have so much on my mind all the time - I swear someone's toying with me to see how much I can handle at once. I wish there was a way to just take things out of my brain for a time being and deal with them later - kinda like in Harry Potter ha :o) That'd be awesome, but alas, no such thing can help. Le sigh.
That's pretty much all that's been going on - I should have some new pics to post on the other site soon, I'm dying to finish the roll I have on my camera right now. But this week should take care of that - Nikki's bday on Thursday, and going to see Farah for her and Pia's bday on Friday should do it. Room's is away for the weekend :( So odd to have the room to myself, but I suppose it's a good thing considering all the studying I have to do for my 2 midterms this week...joy. Hope everyone's doing well - I'll try and update after next weekend when I get home from FaFa's :) |

So considering I haven't actually written anything in a while, perhaps now is a good time. Although, nothing insane has happened lately, which I guess could be considered a good thing. School's keeping me ridiculously busy, as usual, I have no time to do anything. Went home 2 weeks ago for a doctor's appointment where I found out that, upon everyone's belief, I had not messed up my back since I've been at school. Insert sigh of relief here. Started volunteering at BMC again, kills my sleeping in on Monday, but hey what can you do.
A bunch of us went to see The Grudge last night, where it was further proven that I'm a wimp when it comes to scary shit. The plot wasn't the best, and it kind of ended weird, but believe me, it didn't lack the freak factor at all. Definitely recommend it if you're in a jumpy mood ha.
Besides all that, I've been in a really weird mood lately. I'm not sure what that's about - the past few nights (besides last night) I just haven't felt myself. I'm not sure what it is - I know I've been dealing with a lot of stuff lately but I'm not quite sure what's been eating away at me. Hopefully it will pass soon...until then - back to work for me. |

This weekend was fuuuuun. Friday night was spent on a hot date with Nikki and the library, altho we decided to stand the library up - he just wasn't a good time. Came back home, relaxed a bit with Nikki and the Rooms where I realized I have an incurable disease - it's FINE. Heh. Went to Hartford last night to see Greg's show @ Trinity - mad points to Shin for organizing an awesome night and taking such good care of all of us. Greg & the Groove were fantabulous, not that I'd expect anything less. And, of course, always a good time when FaFa and the Rooms are together in one spot. Perhaps I'll get a little Fa action next weekend as well - we shall see - but dayum, 3 weekends in a row? I'm spoiled ha :o). Anywho the night was filled with ridiculousness - fences, potatoes, mullets, creepy dancing couples, deflating air mattresses, you name it. Loooove it.
That's really it for now - I'm off to study like a mofo - not that I haven't been. Spent 5 hours in the library today in an attempt to make up for going away last night, seems it doesn't really matter - I'm still screwed. Eh, oh well - I'm becoming more and more apathetic as the weeks go by - NOT a good sign. Hope everyone had a good weekend :o). |

[Sep. 28th, 2004|12:36 am] |
I've never had one of these come up so close to perfect, with few exceptions. Lauren, I'm sorry about the mullet :o) And I always knew Fafa was one hot chick...

Back in June I got this ridiculous idea to rent a house on Cape Cod - my idea turned into one fantabulous weekend. What do you get when you put 6 college kids in an amazing house on a bay - insanity. We all made it home safe and whatnot, although I have aquired a few more bruises than I would have liked, but hey, what can you do? Anywho, for a complete update, see Room's entry on it:

Now I'm off to sort through the massive amount of work I've accumulated. It's insane, really - I've decided I'm sick of school already, which isn't a good thing considering it's not even October yet. Oh well. |

Entry Advisory: melodrama ahead. You've been warned.
I just don't get it. I'm a nice person, I do well in school, have awesome friends, an amazing roommate who could very well be my long lost sister, and I'm pretty normal (on occasion). Yet, lately, things just don't seem to go my way. I'm not asking for much, really I'm not. I know I have a lot - hell, I just listed it above. All I want right now is the occasional day where nothing goes wrong and I come home feeling content and even, gasp, happy. It just doesn't seem to be happening lately. Between ridiculous back pain the past week, stress like woah from school, relationships, family issues I can't even get into anymore because it confuses me too much, and bills upon bills, everything just keeps piling up. Sometimes I wish for that extra day in a week to get everything accomplished. Today, I can't wait for tomorrow. One of the few things keeping me motivated right now is knowing that at this time tomorrow, I'll be in Cape Cod with some pretty cool people. I don't know, I guess everything will work itself out eventually. Until then, I'll try to limit my depressing entries.
it was almost as if i was waiting for you...now you're gone. |

Wait for the boy who will drop everything for you at any time of the day just to see you, whether it be the best or worst of circumstances. Wait for the boy that will make an ordinary moment seem magical. Wait for the boy that can't help but smile when you see him, and when he smiles you know he needs you. Wait for the boy who will be your best friend, the one who wants to show you off to the world when you're wearing sweatpants and no makeup. Most of all, wait for the boy who will put you in the center of the universe because he is obviously in the center in yours. |

Went up to Lake George this weekend for the 20 year reunion of Silver Bay. I must admit that I was kind of anxious on Friday about going. I didn't know if I would know enough people. But even though it wasn't what I had expected it to be when I registered, I had an awesome time. Everyone was relaxed and really chill - I got to meet people I had only heard about before, not to mention that Silver Bay in September is AMAZING - it was so beautiful.
It was cool to be able to hang out with everyone at Silver Bay but without having to worry about conferees or being quiet and whatnot. And being one of the youngest there (yay Jayme :o)) wasn't a problem either. I had some of the older adults offering to buy me a drink on the boat trip which amused me.
Anywho, short summery - awesome weekend, amazing people, mind-clearing. Gotta love Silver Bay.
Oh, and I def agree with Jayme - we all heart Doug. :o) |

The human smile is infact not an expression learned by imitation, but rather one that is biologically rooted. Even babies born blind smile. |
