I'm reclaiming this blog after about 5 years of neglect.... a lot has happened in that time! Meandering pointless posts to follow... later rather than sooner!

I've kind of abandoned this site in favor of my lj. I might periodically post boring pointless shit, but that's probably all it's going to be. If anyone does wander by here, however; check out the bella site and my poetry site (links to the left) because i update both of those more often. The poetry site goes through periods of neglect, but being inspired while school's in session has never been one of my strong points. But I am taking a creative writing class this semester, so we'll see how that all goes down. I may have some new work for posting soon.

Long time no... type? Or something like that. I've actually posted on my poetry blog again, which you should look at!

And of course, jr. year is in full swing. Already I feel like I'm dying, or would rather be...

But hey let's be positive right?

Well maybe tomorrow.

Oooh look a post!

Yeah, I'm finally posting again. Damn it's been awhile.

I went out tonight with friends for the first time in a long long while (I don't think doing the dating/boyfriend thing counts).

Hit up two parties, one at Synder's new place.. which was fun till the cops kicked everyone out. Then one at Charlotte, the house Brent lived in last year (the basement reeks now though!) and now Emil loves there (he is soooo cool) and it was a bday party for Steve Dudley, who swore up and down for quite some time that I bit him on his chest when we were dancing at a party last semester, and that I was piss drunk.

I don't remember that at all, and I'm not one to black out. I think he mistook me for someone else (we've only met a handful of times).

But of course all of my friends found this hilarious.... sigh. Now people are going to think I'm some kind of freak (which isn't FAR from being correct...)

i should do this more often. i think i will, next weekend. big party then. looking forward to it:)

Threat rating: High. The Bush administration is
concerned that it may not get a second term.
Therefore, we are going to change the rules so
that each Democrat vote only counts as 0.2
votes because Democrat is a shorter word than
Republican


What threat to the Bush administration are you?

*** accidently posted this on my poetry blog. oops. it's from june 19th ***


It's been an interesting summer as of yet... and summer doesn't actually begin till this weekend. A wet summer too. Rain sucks my ass. Big time.

Anyway, I can't believe how busy I've been. And there's actually people contacting ME to hang out. Of course, they all call in the same weekend - but hey beggars can't be choosers right?

I need to get back in swimming shape. I've been doing sit-ups (lots) and push-ups (ow) but no weights and not enough swimming. I just hate it how when I swim my fucking shoulders KILL. It blows.

And I can't access my poetry forum at the moment, not sure why...

I think I'm going through poetic withdrawl. haha.

Wowsers!! It's snowing like whoa outside! soooo pretty!! I have two tests tomorrow (later today actually, it's late!), and i'm wondering if I'm actually going to have classes! Watch me not study in he hope that classes are cancelled and then go flunk my tests.. haha ok that's not that funny... um yeah I think I'm just going to study for maybe 20 minstes, then go to bed and wake up early and study more then, also that way if there's tons of snow maybe when I wake up I'll find out that we have no classes. Maybe!!

Don't get me wrong, I had a great break, but now that I'm back at school, I'm super-anxious about almost a billion things. First, this is definately the last week of classes. I don't know where in my foggy brain I lost that fact, but until today that hadn't really sunk in. For some reason I was thinking that I had three weeks of school left after Thanksgiving. Definately not. Definately have my first exam in 1 week and about 11 hours - and unfortunately that exam is a term paper of 8-10 pages that I have not even started researching yet. And between now and then there's sooooo much shit going on: Bella's concert on Thursday night, which means this week brings ticket selling time, where I have to sit and sell tickets in the eagle's nest; extra rehearsal time, and of course time for the concert itself and all the pre- and post-concert planning efforts that I will inevitably be involved in. And next weekend is the Franklin and Marshall Invitiational, a three day trials-finals meet that lasts Friday till Sunday up in Pennsylvania. So I'm leaving here Friday morning and returning late Sunday night - which means I must finish my paper by Thursday night - or Thursday afternoon rather. Dear me. Thank God that this week is a taper week, which means shorter and easier practices for the most part. That will mean more time for me to get all my crap done. Will I use that time effectively? I guess we'll have to wait and see....

On another note, this weekend was an interesting experience in family bonding, or not. Squeezing Rachel, Andrew, and me into the back seat of a 5 passenger car wasn't always this difficult, I swear. We had almost massacred each other by the time we got back home today, and I for one don't ever remember being so happy to stretch my legs as I was when we got home. Ah well, the trials and tribulations of having siblings.... On the way down there, after passing through Philadelphia all of the car's pasangers passed out and my dad (the driver) zoned out, missing our exit and continuing to drive for about a half hour, till the rest of us awoke to his mutterings, "I think I missed my exit." My mom started flippin cause even though she was born and bred in New Jersey, she didn't recognize any of the names of the surrounding towns. That was an interesting experience, and a wonderful 1-hour completely out-of-the-way detour. Needless to say, I, with my superior sense of direction, offered to drive, but was threatened several times to shut my mouth or else (still wondering what "else" one can accomplish as a form of punishment in a car...). So yeah that was the beginning of my vacation. Otherwise it was as all past trips to see the NJ crew. Only this time I accompanied my grandfather to his health spa so I could swim a few times, so I actually got out of the house for once. Oh and I helped with Thanksgiving II preparations this year (our big Saturday Thanksgiving dinner with the whole family- 22 total this year) by making a cake rather than my traditional dates stuffed with walnuts and rolled in sugar. It went over well cause I had a mad blast decorating it with different colored icing into a "fall scene." My clown of a cousin and one of my uncles spent the night cracking jokes about how my cake was the result of a hallucinagen drug trip. Thanks guys. They didn't seem to mind eating it. Well, I think I need to get back to work. I still have another paper due in Linguistics, this one is an extra credit paper and it's only 4-5 pages, and I don't have to do any research - it's all my thoughts and analysis. So hopefully it won't take too long to crank out and I can start on my research paper tomorrow. Hopefully....
