It's that time again
Year in recap "Post the 1st sentence from the first entry in each month of 2007..." January: Oh my god... that and "holy shit" are all i've been able to say for the last 5 minutes. So.... to sum up I haven't updated much this year hah. That's basically all i got out of doing that. I really should update more. It's not like I have nothing to update about, I'm just lazy hah... like right now, I don't feel like updating hah.

Well hello there! It's been quite a while, but as we're reviewing in Finance, the bane of my existance, I feel no inclination to pay attention to what's going on... actually I never do. It's been quite a semester so far. The work has gotten a little opressive, but I'm getting through it and currently have As in all my classes.. but we'll see how next week goes. I have 3 exams in 2 days... YAY! I'm totally excited to study all weekend, when I'm not working that is. But Di and Rachel are coming home, so life is good. I also have to look forward to the haunted woods next week. We decided to ditch rehersal on monday to go to some cool woods walk in Rachel's town (Wallingford I think). I'm really excited, but I'll probably turn into a total wuss as soon as I get there. This past weekend was interesting to say the least. Stef came home Friday, so we went out and got Halloween decorations and completed our costumes. Her parents went to Italy so we had a pretty awsome party at her house. We all got dressed up and somehow managed to have another bad decisions night... we're pretty good at that hah. Brad and Lisa were home from school too, so it was a full house (James and Keane showed too, on top of the usual crew, now consisting of just the Voulgarakis children and me). Harry got pretty crazy, jumped in the shower with his clothes on, stripped and then puked for a good half an hour before passing out at like 12:30 haha. Brad and Keane had there fair share of nudity as well... as usual. There was pleanty more, but we're not going to mention it.... ever again. And I ended up falling over in the streat, spraning my ankle and scratching up my leg haha. Quite a night. On Saturday, I miraculously felt fine, so I went home and went out to lunch with my parents, cause it was the most beautiful fall day ever. It was 75 and not a cloud in the sky. We took out the convertable and drove down to the beach. It was windy, but very pretty. After that I met up with Harry at the homecoming game (it was postponed cause of rain th night before) just in time for the halftime show. It was pretty good actually, there were some snazzy new band formations. And the new stands and snack bar are pretty amazing, although it made me a little sad knowing that a big part of highschool is gone now. No more little snack shack, no more rickety stands you felt like you were going to fall through, no more loosing your flip folder every time someone obnoxiously came down the benches without looking. Oh well, I supose change is a good thing, or I might not let go... ever hah. Harry and I wandered a bit, he twisted his knee and had to have Jimmy wrap it in the emt truck. We looked pretty stupid, the pair of us limping around. It was pretty pathetic haha. We spent a good part of the time looking for Mary Beth haha, but we found her in the end... that snaggle tooth is even worse in person. Right before we left I said hi to Mr. Gawle. He gave me a hug and asked me about school. I miss band so much sometimes, which probably makes me a loser, but I really loved it. Anyway, the game ended (we kicked the other teams ass) and I went home to get ready for work. Work was uneventful and I got out too late to meet up with Stef and Nikki for "The heartbreak kid" so I had Lisa over and we talked and watched QaF till they got back from the movie. I spent the night at Stef's so she wouldn't have to be alone in the house. We watched Match Point (for the second time that day) and got directions for Six flags. We ended up going to bed at like 3, so we missed our 7:30 wake-up call... nikki wasn't pleased haha. By the time we got up and nikki got there, it was 9. Then nikki told us that Harry crapped out on us, so we had an extra ticket (they're cheaper if you but them in advance) so we spent close to an hour trying to find a replacement. By the time we went to dunkin and left it was 10, so even though we made good time we didn't get there till 12. That didn't seem to matter though cause the lines were ridiculously short. We went on 3 roller coasters in 3 hours, with probably an hour of walking time There only line we waited in for more then 20 minutes was El Toro, and the whole time I had to keep Nikki and Stef from jumping ship. Nikki really didn't want to go. Stef was fine until the ride right before us got stuck comeing in to the station hah. I was like 'you've got to be kidding me' hah. They wanted to get out of line right then, but I forced them on. Nikki loved it, but stef.... heh heh heh. She was screeming the whole time and yelling at me that we weren't friends anymore and that I lied to her about how bad it was... which is true. Nikki and i spent most of the ride laughing histerically at her haha. It was amusing. We stayed for the fright fest parade at 6, which was really cool, but I got freaked out by it. There was this really skinny guy with a pained white face and black platforms that nikki really liked haha. He was pretty creepy... but she wanted to do him. Big shocker there haha. We just did a kiddy ride after that and left, cause I was freaking out. There were all these creapy people with shovels and axes and stuff walking around trying to scare people... I don't do well with that hah. We stopped for dip-n-dots and a warewolf walked right in front of nikki and scared the crap out of us haha. We left and it took us 4 hours to get home cause there was soooo much traffic on the George washington bridge. It was pretty awful. I could say more but class is over hah. ttyl!

Long time no see
I haven't updated in forever, but since I have some free time at work, I thought I'd at least attempt to. School's finally over, but I kinda miss it already. I really like walking around campus this time of year, it's so pretty. I feel like I didn't do that enough this year. I really miss TRF too. We talked about getting together over the summer to rehearse a little, so I hope we do that soon. After school got out, which was 3 weeks ago now, I took a week off to recuperate and plan my party. I spent the first day lazing around of course, but I spent most of the rest of the week doing work. I started remodeling my room a bit, took out the lawn furniture, opened the pool and such. Thursday night James and I were supposed to go to Boston to hang with Rachel and then bring her back, but my power steering belt decided to snap somewhere past New Haven, so that didn't work out. I ended up driving up there at 8 the next morning. It took forever cause I had some troubles once I got into the city. I'm not the best city driver, going the wrong way on one ways, stuff like that, so it took me a good half an hour just to find her. The party went pretty well... very well actually. It was a lot of fun. It seems like we didn't do much, but it was a good time. I finally learned how to really take a tequila shot, and it was much more successful then it was on cinco de mayo. We played some SingStar with some interesting results. The nights a little bit of a blur, but I work up at 8am to QaF on my computer, so it must have been a good night haha. The next morning most people left, but I made eggs for Brad, James, Rachel, and Jen and we watched the Wiz hah. For a while we were convinced that Michel Jackson was going to be Dorothy, but we were disappointed hah. Rachel and I went swimming after they left... well more like we floated around in tubes talking for 3 hours, there wasn't much swimming involved. We watched a couple episodes of Lost then I took her home before work. I basically worked the rest of the week. I worked at hallmark sun + mon (I was pissed about memorials day, but what can you do) and I started at the bank on Tuesday. It was a little nerve racking at first, since they just threw me back in there without any re-training, but I did ok. The week went pretty fast, we hung out a bit, but nothing too eventful. On friday I came up with the brilliant idea of going to friendly's. Afterwards stef, nikki, alena, and diane came back to my house and we all chatted downstairs. This is really interesting isn't it? Saturday was a lot of fun. It's the first one I haven't worked in a long time. Nikki, Stef, Alena, and I went to Target (after I cleaned my room... I held everyone up hah) and I of course tried on everything in the store, but I did find some cute stuff. I got 2 dresses and some shirts and a skirt on clearance. I made them stay with me after they were done so they could see the stuff I tries on. Nikki was highly amused by these white gauchos I tried on... I looked a little ridiculous. She kept trying to get me to put them back on. Oh I also got a leopard print tankini top. The baiting suits I tried on were interesting hah, but I settled on the $5 one hah. After going home for a few hours, we all went over to stef's to watch The Sweetest Thing. I love that movie, but for some reason the best part wasn't in it. I think there's something wrong with stef's dvd cause every time I saw it on tv it was in there. Anyway, Harry and I left toward the end so we could stop by our houses before heading up to New Haven. That's right, Harry and I went to New Haven, alone, cause no one else wanted to go, but why should that stop us from having a good time. So we got there and didn't really know where we were going, but when I saw rainbow balloons I knew we'd found Gotham City haha. It wasn't really what we expected, based on the description on the website. It was $30 for both of us to get in and we spent about 5 minutes inside. It was just a little awkward cause there was nothing for us to do in there. Maybe if it had been a big group of us we could have hung out there for a while, cause I kinda liked it, but since it was just me and harry, it was really uncomfortable haha. We looked really stupid in there, so we fled. There was this really cool looking drag queen in there though. She had this big pink wig that went down to the floor, it was pretty cool. I think the half naked guys kinda creaped harry out though hah. After that we wandered a bit, we went to a couple places with no cover, but there was no cover because there were no people hah. Eventually we ended up at Alchemy, which was really fun. We went down to the dance floor (it's a multi floor club) and scoped out the hotties. There was this hot girl that was dancing on the platform that harry wanted, but there was no way in hell that was going to happen haha. There was this little cutie that kept looking over at him, but I had to literally push him over to her. He waited too long, so she ended up with a far more confident guy, when someone came up behind me. It was a little sketchy, but he was being cute so I let him be. He kept putting his face in my hair and intertwining our fingers. Luckily harry had the good sense to not leave me there to chase after cute girl, but another cute girl came over a little while later, so he danced with her a couple inches away from me. Something was going on with them, but I didn't really notice cause this other guy came over to me and asked my name. I think he was Jamaican, he had a cute accent. He was trying to get me to ditch Tom (the guy I was dancing with), but I felt bad just leaving him for the other guy, so I pulled a "curfew" and we high-tailed it out of there hah. It actually was later then we meant to stay anyway, so I suppose it was good timing. After wandering around to find the car, we took over an hour to get home hah. Harry got us lost in New Haven, and then I went the wrong direction on 95, so basically we're both idiots. We got back around 2:15, but it was totally worth it. Why other people didn't want to go, I don't know. Sunday my mom and I took a drive to Rowayton so I could see where the branch I'm working at know is, then I covered for someone at work from 1-6. We saw Knocked Up that night. Very funny movie, but a little over-rated. Oh and Kelly's finally home so she came with us :) Monday my brother came home too, he's done with his training, so he's here for 4 weeks before he moves to Denver. We're supposed to have a party in a few weeks, but who knows, my parents aren't really up for it. With my dad's shoulder problems and my mom's hormones, home's a pleasant place to be these days. Tuesday was Kelly's first day in the branch, and it happened to be the one 10 minutes from me, so we met up for lunch. We walked to this deli down the street from her, which was soooo good. I got a chicken parm sub and it was amazing hah. I drove her home after work since her mom had dropped her off that morning. I got home to see that my mom and steve picked up my car from the shop, so I finally have my own car back... although I do miss the convertible a bit heh. We went to Outback last night and it turns out the whole world picked the same night to go. It was tip-a-cop night, so there were cops serving as a fundraiser for the special Olympics. Nikki was there with her family and so was Kevin. Dinner was really good, but they got rid of my favorite desert. I got the thing they replaced it with though, some apple cobbler thing, and shared it with my dad. It was really good, but I miss the cinnamon croutons. I was home for a good five minutes before I realized everyone was at dunkin, so I swung by and hung out there for a while. When I got home I finished the episode of Fear I was watching. Not the best idea right before bed. It was St. Agnes Hospital too, so there were all these scary stories about the crazy people killing each other... good stuff. I watched "the dundies" episode of the Office right after it so I wouldn't be freaked out when I tried to sleep. That wasn't a great idea either though, cause I was up kinda late and now I'm tired. They're seriously trying to get me to call people about upgrading they're accounts. Are they mad? I have no clue what I'm doing and I'm horrible at talking to people. Oh well, at least she gave me kind of a script to follow so I don't have to just make it up. I should get back to work, I've wasted enough time. Later guys

Foam!
Friday was as awsome as expected... actually more so. Pete, my mom, and I did shots before everyone else got there (lauren sipped hers, apperently she's had too many bad drinking experiences), so mom was bombed hah. I had a nice buzz through dinner. We had a really good time, just telling stories and eating lasagna (I finally learned how to make it btw). I found it pretty funny that someone made the same "loose lips" joke we made about kelly a few weeks ago hah... oh dear. We were going to go to Lauren and Pete's to play Wi, but everyone was tired so everyone but Chris went home. He stayed and watched The Office with us ( we all missed it cause of his concert the night before) and about that time I got a call from Rachel, Nikki, and James asking if I wanted to go to a foam party. They came over to get directions and change into their white clothes (there was a dress code). After finally figuring out where Hammerjacks is (it's a club in New Haven), we set out. We got there relativly easily, though I was the only calm on in the car. Nikki was freaking out that she didn't want to go cause we were going to get killed, then Rachel started freaking out. When we got to New Haven even James was like "maybe we should go home" haha. I was like "what the hell is wrong with you guys, we're here, lets go." Granted New Haven isn't the safest place in the world to walk around in at night, but what did they think was going to happen? When we got into the club everyone chilled out and we had a really great time. We met up with ACG, Preston, and some other people (who were the ones who told us about it) and danced the night away under a piller of foam spewing from the ceiling. It was pretty crazy. We were all soaked with soap, it was interesting. Nikki, Rachel, and I got ass raped by some guys on the dance floor. It goes with the territory I suppose, but I can't imagine just walking up behind someone and dancing with them without even talking/looking them in the face. Bit strange, but we all had a good time... well untill one of acg's friends cut her foot open on glass that was on the floor (I had the good sence to wear sneakers). She had to go to the hospital and the bubbles had stopped, so it kinda ended the night. We had to drive back all wet and gross... very uncomfortable, but totally worth it. Some of us wanted to stop at the porn store on the way back, but we missed the exit... oh well, next time hah. We went back to my house to get crunk, but after getting into pjs, we were all too tired to drink anything, so we just talked for a bit and Nikki and james went to sleep. Rach and I went outside for like an hour. We discussed the things we could make in my pool, like pudding, or jello, or cup cakes, for a very long time before realizing it was probably a strange thing to be talking about... it too far too long for us to realize though haha. We went in and watched Get Over It and ate cheese fries. She actually liked the movie heh, I've converted another person. We noticed during the closing credits that Sisquo actually looks like a black Harry. After that it was like 6:30, so we went to bed hah. After discovering that we all had rashes from the foam (mine is on my calves... hasn't quite gone away yet), everyone left and I went to work. Around 5 I get a call from harry saying we're having a Cinco de Mayo party so I need to get Taquilla. After work Rachel and Harry picked me up and we went up to Rachel's. We made margaritas and beat a pinyata with our fists, then discovered none of us like tequilla at allm so we threw it all out. Nikki drank the rest of the Coors and made the night amusing. Stef took us all home around 1. It was a pretty low key night, but it was fun, just sitting around eating candy and playing with the pinyata toys (wistles, frisbees and such). I went to Lauren's Bridal shower on Sunday. It's funny, I wont see the Johnson's for months at a time, but when I do see them it's all clumped together. It was pretty boring, but my mom and I talked to some random friends of Lauren's all afternoon so it wasn't too bad. I went right to work after the shower. Later that night i was craving cold stone and Harry read my mind with a text to meet in the center for ice cream. They were closing in 30 mins so they were jokingly anoyed at us for coming in. Basically they were making us all tip them, so they kept singing... it was amusing. I ditched everyone to go home and watch Despreate Housewives with my parents. They were all cuddly when I got home... alkward hah. I'm so glad school's almost over. i accidentally missed my first class today, but it'll be my last cut of the year, so I don't really care hah. I only have 3 classes left this week (2 of them are cancelled cause there's nothing left to do). I'm pretty happy this is a low matinence week, cause last week almost killed me hah. My cold is almost gone at this point, but I'm still caughing a bit. This let rash is being anoyingly itchy too. Anyway.... i should go eat dinner. There won't be anything left if I don't go soon. I'm not really hungry though... i had a smoothie before my last class. I'm just saying pointless boring things now... acutally this whole entry is pretty boring... I'm boring myself just talking about it. I need to stop now. I'll get back to you when i have something more interesting to talk about.

I don't have time to come up with anything witty... just read it bitches
Hello all. I just stopped in to say "YAY! The Johnson's are coming over!" hehe. I'm really excited. We havn't hung out with them in a long time. I hadn't seen Pete in forever, I was beginning to think I wasn't going to see him till his wedding. Last night we went to see Chris' Senior Recital, showcasing his work (which was ofcouse amazing, he's a genius on the drums) and at the reception Pete and David were like "so where's the lasangna?" hah so basically they invited themselves over for dinner tonight. I'm pretty happy they did, they're a lot of fun. We were talking about that time we lost power on Christmas when they were over. They came by for a seond christmas dinner, eating lasagna and drinking coronas, when a transformer blew. We were all looking for flashlights and canndles when suddenly we were like "where'd Pete go?" Someone turned on a flash light and we found him crouched in the corner with a bucket of fudge shoving it in his mouth haha. It was so funny. I had totally forgoten about it until yesterday. After that we told storied by candle light. My mom told us about how she told the Shop Rite manager she hoped she got a vaginal infection for christmas when she wouldn't giver her her discount on something and then when we ran out of stories Pete started making things up hah. That was a good night. It's always a good night when we hang out with them. Long story short, I'm way excited for tonight. I have to go get groceries though... we need lasagna ingredients On another note, I finally got on the scale today, after being too terrified near it the past few weeks. I've been pretty terrible. Well, when I'm at home anyway. I've been relativly good when I'm at school, but when I'm home... well you know about last weekend hah. Anyway, somehow, miraculously, I lost 3 more lbs even with the rediculous amount of food we ate last week. I almost wept hah. I really thought I'd be back where I started especially since I was feeling more fat then usual this week. Good work self! So the new total is -15. I need to step it up, aka stop eating crap on the weekends, or this it going to take forever. I think my cold's getting better, I wasn't as bad when I woke up this morning and I'm not sniffly at all (thank god, runny noses are the bane of my existence). I'm pretty ready to be done with this cold, so any time now would be nice. I'm talking to you big man, make it happen. Oh, my exam when relatively well, as did my management presentation. Next week won't be too bad. I have an Excell Exam on monday, but I could do that in my sleep, so it'll be a pretty low impact week, which I kinda need after this week. Being sick made it like 10x worse, but I loved thoguh it hah. Now I just need to get ready for exams. I'm not very worried. Only math is cumulative, and again, I could do that one in my sleep. Well anyway, I need to get on that shoping. Have a good night everyone

What am I doing... I have an exam... stop being dumb
The Everything TestThere are many different types of tests on the internet today. Personality tests, purity tests, stereotype tests, political tests. But now, there is one test to rule them all.Traditionally, online tests would ask certain questions about your musical tastes or clothing for a stereotype, your experiences for a purity test, or deep questions for a personality test.We're turning that upside down - all the questions affect all the results, and we've got some innovative results too! Enjoy :-)
TAKE THE TEST brought to you by thatsurveysite This procrastination needs to stop. Anyway, This seem's mostly true, but I'm not sure where they got the "more concerned about self than concerned about others" thing. That doesn't really sound like me, but whatev'. I don't know what the "emo kid" thing is about either hah. I didn't say anything particularly emo... maybe it's the music thing. And I think they think I'm gay cause I've kissed twice as many girls then guys... whoops haha. Well back to studying... I'm totally screwed haha

Prepare yourself for a long one
Ack! It's been way too long! now I don't think I'll remember everything... oh well, I suppose I can summarize... which you know means I'm about to write a book, so go ahead and skip to the end if you don't really care hah Lets see... I went to scranton 3 weeks ago, as planned. It was a good time. Rachel Kelly and I had some fun while nikki and alena were out. There was a pannicked minute when we thought the RA was coming in, but we were just being idiots haha. I talked to Wesley for a bit on aim and then we went up to the guys house. The party was really fun, but it didn't end well for me (as you may have heard heh) so Tim got my car to drive us back. I really wasn't understanding how he managed to get my car... in fact I didn't know it was my car until we were in it and I found Miroku. That bastard was taking up the whole back seat. We got back to the dorm, stopped for Bitches (which were amazing, but too hot... there was some serious mouth bunage), I dropped my fries, and then we went to bed. Saturday was the last night my brother was home. I went out to dinner with my family and Beth (his gf). It was really sad actually. It may be a long time bafore we can do something like that. He went off to training on Sunday... at 5am... i had to get up at 5am. I was not a happy camper, but I was only up long enough to hug him goodbye and I'm glad I did. I'm really going to miss him... but I've already gone into that, so moving on. That night was my classy dinner party hah. Ofcourse it was also the day of the noreaster... yay. So only kelly and I really got dressed up and we're not really classy people, so we can make anything unclassy haha. It was a tad stressful in the kitchen, but it all turned out fine and the dessert was delicious if I do say so myself. Nikki and Kelly spent the night and we played a game of kings. I lost, but couldn't drink the cup since it was a horrible mix of red wine and screw drivers hah. I think there was a conversation on penis size too. That week at school was pretty good too. A bunch of us slept over Ryan's on Wednesday since his parents were out to town. We played some DDR and SingStar, smoked cigars, and then played Disney scene it and an amusing game of scattegories. There were some very sexual conversations as well, made me feel right at home haha. Thurseday night I was back home and we went to Jimmy's for a BBQ. Harry was the somewhat disgruntled DD, but we appreciated it. I slept over Kelly's after the party. She stuck her nose in some expensive eye shadow for no apparent reason... it was amusing. We spent the afternoon watching TLC (good stuff) and then she and her mom drove me home. I ran some errands for my parrents and eventually we ended up at Dunkin. Kelly didn't have time to go to Rachel's, so we sait goodbye there. I really miss her already and it doesn't help that I can call her anymore. I'm sure she's having a great time in Spain though, so I'm happy for her... but I'll be happier when she comes back. We were all a little dissapointed for not celebrating 4/20 properly so we made up for it a bit and then watched some what not to wear... again gotta love that TLC. Saturday was the State Radio concert at Trackside. Rachel, Chelsea, Harry and I went, but I just went to see Mook since I only know like 2 State Radio songs. We all felt very old being in the teen center and spent a good amout of time outside, but the show was good (though mook was only on for like 15 minutes). Afer the show we went to McDonalds and ate like fat kids, then Rach came over. We did shady things, watched half of hitch, and ate a full bowl of kissables and skittles (really good mix). Sunday we made a fire at Nikki and Harry's since it was such a nice night. Harry kept almost blowing things up, including himself. Why all guys are pyros I'll never know. Smores were followed by a Dunkin run (ofcourse) and then Rach and I did a repeat of the night before, finishing the movie. Last week, hmm... wow this is already really long, but bear with me (this is more for me then you anyways, I don't like to forget things). On Tuesday I ran into Ryan, Nicole and some of their friends in the dining hall and they invited me over, so I kinda tagged along with then for the rest of the day. Ryan and I went to 314 (the special computer club lab) with Rahoul for a while and watched promotional clips for the new Michael Bublé CD (which is pretty awsome btw). Nicole, kelly and lauren came by then we all went to watch American Idol and eat lots of food. After the show we went down to the student center and played some pump it (like DDR but with 5 steps... buttons, whatever you call them). Ryan won this squishy yellow ball out of one of these claw machines (no clue what they're called) and we played popcorn with it (I love that game, we should play more often). At 10 we went over to the BBQ in the quad (part of spring week) and waited an hour for burgers and hotdogs, we had a good time in the line though. I shared the phone in nacho cheese story and Lauren and Dan amused themselves by calling out random names seeing if people would answer. After eating we hung out for a while, mostly talking about Mr. Big since it was the highlight of the day, then we went our seporate ways. It was a nice little detour from my innicial plan for the day of going to Borders for a few hours to read manga before going back to being a hermit in my room. Friday I went out to dinner with my dad, we had a good chat about music and school while making fun of how long the people next to us had to wait for their food... good times. That night Nikki, Rachel, Chelsea, and I went over to Kevin's for a little party. We watched some Buffy and almost got shot with airsoft guns... we had to flee the house. Rachel and Nikki decided to stay at my house spir of the moment, and we pasically ate everything in the house.... I mean really. My mom even noticed, the next morning she was like 'where did all the food go?' We ate a pint of Americone Dream (it practially disapeared), left over bostin chicken, cookies, goldfish, pizza, hummus and fritos... the list just keeps going lol. Really sad actually. I'm blaming my current state of health on the activites of that night. When I woke up caughing I knew I was screwed. We went to the Aldrich museam that afternoon and then i napped/watched Vanished untill work that night. I was pretty miserable by that point. Tired and ill, not a good combo. I went out against my better judgement that night, but we just watched Practical Magic and chilled with some Planet Pizza. I didn't even want to get up to go home, but I only like 2 minutes away so I had to. Work on Sunday was really terrible, but I didn't have much choice. At this point I was doing everything possible to get over this cold for monday, my chorale concert (great timing I know). I took a bunch of vitamin C and drank so much water I was peeing every 15 minutes. I just chilled at home that night. I like just sitting around watching TV with the folks, it's part of the reasonI go home every week. Monday was completly spent in preparation for the concert. Tea, water, robitussen every 2 hours, and thank god, I got through it without going into a caughing fit. I was worried I was going to ruin it, but luckily it all turned out ok... well the concert itself wasn't that great, but I did ok hah. My parents brought me a big bouquet of flowers. They're very beautiful (and are now very beautifully diplayed in a dunkin' cuo on my desk) but a tad overdone... in the sence that I was the only one I saw with flowers and I didn't have a solo so I felt a little silly hah. It was a sweet thought though and I'm really glad they came. i wanted them to stay for TRF reherdal so they could hear us, but they had to get home, the old people have to sleep. I went to the diner after rehersal, again against my better judgement, but my stumuch didn't agree with my better judgement, so I got some cinnimine toast with the $1.50 I had (I'm completly broke btw). Ofcourse I had an exam this morning I had to study for so the night never ended, but eventually I got to sleep, but not long enough. After an afternoon of Olive Garden by myself at a table for 4 and Borders for 6 hours, I'm now sitting in my bed, unable to sleep, with bloodshot eyes and tissues stuck up my nose. I'm so cool is scares me sometimes. This entry is rediculously long, but a lot had gone on in the last 3 weeks, so I needed to catch up. Thanks for bearing with me if you did, though I know many of you didn't (diane). Now that the runny nose stage of my cold has hit, I'm growing less attractive by the day, so I really hope it clears up soon. Especially since I still need to go to class and I lack any motivation to do that at the moment. I can't believe it's almost 5... I'm going to be so pissed at myself tomorrow. Anyway, Goodnight all

Dear God
I can't believe what I just did. I changed out of my pjs back into my clothes, drove to Meriden, and bought 3 pints of Stephen Colbet's Americone Dream. I proceeded to drive back to school, watch the Colbet Report and eat a whole pint of said ice cream. Unbelievable. I'm officially the fattest person alive

Just Remembered
That went well... it's been like 5 minutes and I'm already back. Told you I would stall till I have no time left. Anyway, the reason I came back is that I realized why it took me so long just to do the note cards for my exam... well i remembered I should say. I kept getting distracted by my own thoughts. I was thinking about scranton a lot cause I had a dream that we went last night... well the last night I slept I mean. It's was really bad. Well, not totally bad, but not good. It was summer and the house was completly different... there were like weird sea-saw things at the entrence and the house was all open... very odd. Anyway, the thing that made it bad was that I kept realizing I had no clothes to where... I mean I wasn't naked, I just didn't bring any good clothes, and I was really upset about it lol. I kept having to go back to alena's dorm for some reason too. It was very frustrating. For some reason it kept coming in my head when i was trying to study cause I kept feeling like this weekend already happened. It was a very strange feeling I gatta tell you. Then I was just getting really excited for the next few weeks and I just really want the school week to be over. All I have to do it get though this exam and I'm basically home free work wise, btu I just want it to be over... right now... I mean it... now... ok it's not working. If I can't fast forward then I supose I should get back to work... again

All-nighters are not my cup of tea
It's probably a bad idea to take a break now, cause I know how I am, I can blow 3 hours like it's 5 minutes. But I really needed a break. I was an idiot and did absolutly nothing yesterday. My first class was cancelled so I slept for like 10 hours and then watched Qaf all morning. I barely did my homework for the one class I had then I spent 3 hours in the computer lab, which I meant to do work during, but I ended up on youtube for 3 hours. I went to dinner, went back to my room and put off my work again. I watched qaf till 1am, then decided it was time to start studying for my exam. I did that from 1 til 6:30, took a shower and figured it was pointless to go to bed since I have project questions that need to be done by 12. I got dunkin, froze my ass off working outside for a while (nothing was open at 7 so I didn't have muich of a choice), and then walked to the library since I could no longer feel my lower body. It opens at 8. It's very cold out. So I just finished my first question for this project. I was one of the three dumbasses who volunteered to do two questions heh. Sometimes I wish I was one of those people who has no qualms about letting other people cover my ass so I don't have to do any work instead of the one who volunteers to do it all so it's done right. Whatever, it's my fault anyway. If I had the will power to start studying at 7 when I got back to my room I could be well rested right now. Oh well... I just work better under pressure. Now I have 3 hours to finish this one question. The problem with knowing I have time is I don't want to do it till I have no time at all. It's going to be a busy day too. I have to meet with my management group at 12. Luckily it's in the library, so if I don't feel compelled to move until then I don't have to. Then I have this damn geology exam. The average for the last one was like a 60 or something... and that's with a 10 point curve. Luckily I got an 85 miraculously. I hardly studied too, so hopefully this time won't be so bad. Chior wont be too bad as long as she doesn't make us do any of those stand-up/sit-down exercizes. It's chior, not gym, lady. I'll just take a nap during math since I don't listen to a word he says anyway. I swear, I could teach the class better then this guy, and I'm a horrible teacher. Then I get an hour before a cappella and since it's wednesday we're going to the diner, which means I probably wont be back till like 1. Usually I don't mind that, but I'm already feeling drousy, so by that point I might pass out on them. I need 8 hours of sleep or I'm dead all day.... this is going to be fun. Well, it's 9 now. 3 more hours till my group gets here. I better do that second question now though, or I may never do it heh. Later

Weeks to come
I'm so excited for the next few weeks. They're just going to be so much fun. School is getting a little overwhelming, but my anticiaption for the weekends are getting me though the week. The next couple weeks are going to be tough school-wise. I have some tests and a big big management project. It weird that there's only like a month of school left. I get to register in a week. I finally saw my new advisor in the buisness department. I didn't make an appointment so I just showed up really early one day and it only took like half an hour (which is not long concidering how long the line usually is). I am so together this year. I made a chart of projected class sequence for the next 2 years. There are quite a few prerecs that I need to take so I won't start my entraprenuership classes untill spring at the earliest. Apperently there are only 4 classes, so the lack of time wont be an issue. I'll just have to take 2 at the same time. I'm just really anxios to get my degree all of a sudden. It'll be strange to not be at CCSU anymore, but I'm just ready to get on with my life. Now that I have a definate plan I just wanna get it over with so I can be done and secure... granted I probably wont ever be really secure since small businesses can be troublesome, money wise. Oh well, too early to worry about that. Kelly's coming home this week for her spring break before going to Spain. I haven't seen her since February so I'm really looking forward to this weekend. I really wish I didn't have school next week. I hate being here when kelly's home since she's here so rarely. Diane's coming home too, but just for the weekend unfortunatly. I really hope we can find some one-on-one time while she's home. it's going to be a rediculously crazy weekend with Scranton, work, and my dinner party :p Which reminds me, my brother's leaving on Sunday. I haven't really been thinking about him leaving much, cause I just didn't want to, but as I was leaving today I realized it was the last time I'd see him before going to school, in the sence that he's always home between 10 and 3 so when I leave for school on mondays he's always there. Not that we hang out or anything, but I just said "later" and realized it was the last time I'd do that... ever. I always knew he'd move for work, but it just didn't really register. To tell you the truth, at this point I thought he'd never leave. He's been working at the airports around here for years and I just got used to him being around. I'm really going to miss him. I'm sure most of you are like "you never see him anyway." True, he's a fan of hiding out in his room, but you gatta give him a break. It can't be easy to be still living at home at 27. I'm going to miss all the times we did spend together though. Having dinner together (the whole family that is), sitting around with him and jade drinking shots, watching tv together. He has the best laugh, he doesn't hold anything back. He may not always be there, he may not knwo me as well as jade does, but he's still my brother. I love him and I'm going to miss him a lot. This job is a great oportunity for him and I'm really proud of him for getting it, but I still wish he haddn't. I'm not looking forward to saturday at all. My mom's going to be crying and I hate seeing my mom cry. It makes me feel like crying. And Steve and I are pretty alkward, so it's going to be a weird goodbye. You should have seen us when he went off to college. He's going for training for 6 weeks in Salt lake city and then coming back for his stuff before moving out west. We're going to have a party for him then since it'll be warmer and we can do it right. After that, that's it. He's not coming back. He wants to move to Denver since our cousin dave lives there. I havn't seen Dave since his mom's funeral. He never comes home. I'm really worried that's going to happen with Steve too. I supose there's nothing I can do about it. Great, now I'm sad *sigh* well, I should stop slacking off. i have rehersal in half an hour and I still need to do some actual work before leaving the computer lab. See ya

Easter
So, it's easter. We ate and now I'm bored hah. All the ppl my age (ie my brother, his gf, matty, and my crazy cousins) are watching baseball... which I hate. Figured I'd complain for a while. Yestarday hmm, no I'll start with friday. I woke up late and did mostly nothing all day. Oh wait, i went to the mall with Harry so he could get his computer fixed and then I made a chocolate raspberry cake. Weight watchers recepie. Pretty good actually. I made the frosting myself, I was very proud. After finishing I met everyone in the center and we went to the post road diner. Pretty good food, totally stuffed ourselves. After stalling for a while we went to Rachel's. We had some good times. Actually got though a game of kings for once. Rachel and I talked for quite a while sitting out on the edge of the woods. Then I threw up and we went in and went to bed... at least I think so, I don't really remember what i did after coming inside. We got up at 11ish... we all layed there complaining for a while. I went home and ended up hangin out with my mom, jade and ali for a while. We chatted and jade tricked me into drinking some of his 99 berries (which is really good btw). I ended up being half an hour late for work, but no one cared much. I worked till 9 and then met nikki and sarah at dunkin. We hung out there while everyone watched aladin at nikki's and then went over there. It ended up being a girls night. We talked about quite a few interesting things. We were about to leave and Libby came in so we ended up talking for another hour or so. I got home around 1:30 even though I said I'd be home early. I cleaned my room and then around 2:30 found I was feeling really emo. It was kind of out of no where, so it was strange. I was upset for a while before I realized if I just went to sleep I wouldn't feel like crap anymore... and I went right to sleep. Strange evening. I was not pleased when my mom woke me up at 8:30 to tell me the easter bunny had come haha. I got up and found my eggs and presents. My mom got me Charolette's Web (no clue why) and Happy Feet, which Jade and I are gunna watch tonight. After the usual monkey bread breakfast, my mom started freaking out like always so I helped her till my family showed up. Which brings me to now. Boredness

Sledding Exravaganza
Wow tonight was so much fun. It started out kinda lamely, but ended really well. I worked til 7 and didn't leave til 8 cause I had to get everything ready for my mom's b-day. I got home and waited around until finally I called harry since no one was calling me. We all met at Orem's and had a snack and then headed over to nikki's to sled. Not all of us were entusiastic about the idea, but we got into it when we got there. We sledded down her not so steep hill a few times and finally decided we needed something a little better, so Nikki, Brad, Rach, and I headed over to cider mill. We ended up on the big hill behind comstock. It was pretty awsome. Rachel ended up just sitting in the snow cause of her knee though. The rest of us had a fun time trying to get up the hill... it was all frozen so basically it was like walking uphill on ice... not the best idea. Nikki and I accidentally slid downed a few times in the attept to sled down heh. Brad kept almost killing himself and scarring the hell out of us. I went down the suiside hill right before we left and ended up getting all wet so my ass is still frozen. I was pretty sure I was going to die actually. i flipped around backwards and I was like 'this is it, I'm going to be paralized.' Luckily for me, brad's prediction wasn't right. He was like "I'm going to pressure you until you do it and then you're going to get hurt and I'm going to feel bad" lol. So I did it and it as pretty cool actually... apart from the fear of death thing. At one point this car pulled into the comstock parking lot and we all froze like we were going to get moed down for sledding in the middle of the night. I thought we might get arrested for a minute there, private property and all. And it was like 1am, so I guess i couldn't blame them, we looked pretty shady. Anyway, it's been a good night, but now everyone's going back to school and I'm sad. Oh well, at least I have brunch tomorrow to look forward too. I love brunch at the Red Barn, so yummy. I like my mom's birthday. My aunts all have their birthday's at the same time so we all get together and go to brunch. It's cute :) Well, I need to sleep, I'm pretty worn out actually. I worked for 9 hrs on 5 hrs of sleep and then went trapsing all over wilton. Quite tireing. Nighty night

Springtime
May I just say, i absolutly adore spring time. Don't get me wrong, I love winter and snow and all that goes with is, but I'm completly ready for the warm weather. I forgot how energized I get when it's nice out. I may be lame, but I love sunshine and birds and going for walks and spring clothes.... i could keep going, but I wont heh. So i was a bum on monday. I slept till noon and proceeded to not go to any of my classes. In fact I stayed home all day and played video games. It was really nice actually, but seeing as I have break next week it was completly unnesissary. I got to hang out with my mom a bit though. I love how she had no problem with me blowing off my classes. She just said "you're home? oh you bad girl." I love my mommy, she's cute. I really didn't want to leave at all, but i had to go to rehersal. I went to Happy Wok with Nikki for dinner cause for some reason Hunan was oddly closed again. i really hope they're not closing, I love them. I went right from there to TRF, but I was a little late (whoops). You'd think i'd be able to make it to school by 8:30, but no, as previously astablished me=bum. I only missed some theory anyway. I hate theory with a passion. I got enough in high school with Mr. Gawl's crazy mid-terms (which I aced, being the perfect child that i am), I need no more. It's been a pretty uneventful week actually. I was planning on going to J-pop last night, but I started transposing "Hide and Seek" and when i looked up it was 10... whoops again. It's actually a lot harder then it seems to just copy music from what you hear, especially that song since the parts aren't exactly distinct. I'll probably finish it over break, too time consuming. I keep forgetting that I don't have school next week. I only have one more day of classes.... yay :) Since everyone's going back to school i think It's just chris and me this week. I'll probably end up working since there's nothing else to do. If I don't work i know I'll just sleep all week, and that's just a waste. Music makes me so happy. I know that was random, but I"m listening to Jack's Mannequin and it just makes me smile. In chorale today prof. wild asked us to think about why people sing while we were 'centering'. I was just thinking, it just makes me happy. i can't really explain it. Hearing a good song, a happy song, it just brings tears to my eyes. I just think of music as an expression of all the beautiful things in the world. This is what spring does to me. I wander around campus listening to music and thinking about how beautiful life is. I'm a little too optimistic sometimes I think. I just don't understand being sad when there's so much beauty around us. Ok, i just realized how lame I sound right now lol. Sorry, you know I do this sometimes. ok, it's getting dark, I should go back to my room. i didn't realize it was so late :\ later

Long overdue
Wow this is pathetic, I never update anymore. I almost wish I still had accounting so I could update instead of paying attention like I usually did. A rediculous amount of stuff has happened since my last update so actually telling you all of it would be crazy, plus it would take a lot longer then I want to spend on it, so I'll just be general (since monst of you know about everything anyway). It's been a pretty awsome year so far. Lots of interesting times and new experences heh. I'm having so much fun this semester. I'm so glad that Rachel and James are home this semester. I mean, we always had fun, the home crew, but it's nice to mix it up a bit. The only thing is, now I'm like the only one there that's not there all the time. I feel like the only person not going to NCC lol. I'm a bit jelous, but I've been having fun at school, so it's not like I've been moping in my room or anything. School has been nice this semester. A little bit harder since my classes take actual work, but I guess I can handle it... I just have no motivation, so I'm just doing ok in everything instead of doing well. Most of you know, but I joined an a cappella group, so now I actually have something to do while I'm at school (besides being a bum). It's a lot of fun... I mean I don't actually talk or anything, cause I'm a total loser when I don't know people, but hopfully I'll get over that soon, it kind of anoys me. For some reason when I'm with you guys I can act like myself, but when I'm not I can't find anything to say. Pretty frustrating. I'm really looking forward to this weekend since a bunch of people are coming home for spring break. I have to work all weekend, but I'm sure it'll be a good weekend anyway :) woah, that's weird... I like fell asleep and I have no recolection of not submitting this... very strange. Anyway... I don't think I was going to say anything else anyway. I really wanna have a ddr/singsong party this weekend... i hope my brother goes away, I don't think he'd appreciate it lol. To everyone that's comin home, I'll see you soon!! (to everyone else: sorry you're missing out, I know how painful it is to be away from me)

Another year gone by
Oh my god... that and "holy shit" are all i've been able to say for the last 5 minutes. This is just so unbelievable. Like really... just unbelievable. I noticed other people had their grades posted so I decided to check i mine were there and I found that mine were up too... I got 4 A's and 2 A-'s My only thought? 'What the fuck is going on?' There is no way in hell i got an A on my accounting final so I have no clue where that A- is coming from. I was hoping for a B. This has never happened to me... I"m in shock. This must be a mistake. This just further proves how pathetic my school is. If I'm getting A's you know there must be something wrong, I'm really not that smart. Anyway here are some quizes on the year. It was eventful, but I don't feel like I really achieved anything this year. I mean I did a lot of things, but not a lot of things happened too me... after taking these my year seems lame. I didn't learn much. That or I'm just too tired to remember anything substanial from this year. ( some surveys )
