These past few days are sucking for me... just how I'm feeling- first off, Aunt Flow is here to visit, if you know what I mean... so I feel like shit because of that. Then, I have a freaking fever because we can never keep the thermostat at a steady temperature- Moni gets cold and literally puts the thermostat up to 90 degrees- when I wake up, I'm sweating like no other... it's disgusting. All this temperature change is not working well for me in our apartment. On top of that, I have migraines... constantly. So I'm going in to work today, and I know I'm gonna feel oh so wonderful. Bah. That's the end of my bitch mode.

Saturday, February 1, 2003 04:10 p.m.
OH sososososo tired. Last night they had me work until 930, but I didn't get off until about 1000.... grrrr. Came home, so tired- and then they had me work the early shift today... gonna nap if possible. Playing volleyball tonight with Jay, Derick, and some others! WOohoooo. I hate white pants.

Friday, January 31, 2003 10:42 a.m.
Sweet sweet sleep. Last night was the first night that I fell asleep before 4 AM. Ooooh it was so good- I had gotten out of work at 915 (a beautiful beautiful thing). I liked having that shift from 315-915- I don't have to close the register or anything like that or restock- it's all good. GOtta go to work at 330 today and I'm outta there at 930, so again I don't have to restock anything. Now comes my paycheck story- before I continue, I have to tell you that they double deducted our rent from this second paycheck since they didn't take it out of the first- so I was expecting a nice little check. Here is the best part of all: Before going to work yesterday, I picked up my paycheck at the distributor- I tore that thing open like there was no tomorrow. My mouth dropped when I saw that my paycheck was for ::dun dun dun:: $1.51. I have *nothing* else to say except that I'm not going to cash it, but I will be framing it.

Thursday, January 30, 2003 12:27 p.m.
So here's what's been going on. I've been working and that has been going really well- I like my job and all, I think it's going to be really good. I didn't get to play volleyball last night (it's a Wednesday thing) because I had to work until 11. So when I got to the courts at 1130 or so (just to watch people still goofing around), Derick was there along with Bryce. Bryce and I just started bumping the ball around and whatnot- I taught him how to do everything correctly (or at least attempted to). Alvin came over and joined us, and we just putzed around for about 20 minutes or so. Afterwards, I went with Derek to party with the South Africans who will be leaving in a week or two. These kids are really cool and I just had an awesome time in general. They had sangria and wine... cheap but yummy- I have such low tolerance that after a glass of each, I really felt it. Pathetic, I know... but hey! It's probably a good thing. After the party (which again... was just so much fun), Derick and I went back to his place and we just chilled and stuff. I've been hanging out with him a lot recently, and he's just really cool. Also, Moni and I had been hanging out with Jay and Rico across the hall in the morning/afternoon- they have Nintendo! Aaaah- we just played that and watched the MTV Music Awards from last year which George had taped. It was really chill and I just like being able to relax. Today I have to go to work at 315 until 915, which means I DON'T HAVE TO CLOSE THE REGISTER! HAHAHAHHA! Oh yeah! The other day, when it was my first day on my own without my trainer... an hour or two before my shift was over, Michael (my manager) came over to me and said that another manager had come in (although I didn't know it) and gave me a compliment (which he/she told to Michael). The manager said that I was very attentive, had a good knowledge of stuff, and that I was sweet. This is good stuff. My apartment is a pig sty. I just cleaned the kitchen counters yesterday and did all the dishes and had everything put away neatly, when I go into the kitchen at 1200 today, there are nasty crumbs ALL over, plastic wrappings, old and smelly dirty dishes in the sink- we've got to have a meeting about this. I feel like the mother- it's like I don't want to clean up after them and I shouldn't have to, but I can't stand having all that dirt around me. Bah... I'm off to eat some food!

Monday, January 27, 2003 10:41 a.m.
Yesterday I had the day off (as I do today) which is just awesome in itself. I crashed after I had work the night before, and Sunday I woke up after 10 and it was a beautiful thing. Later on, my sister calls me and we decide that we'll go out to lunch together with Budd (her man) and John (his friend). I drove to pick Emmy up and Budd's house and we then went to the Olive Garden. I had the yummiest minestrone soup, and they have the best breadsticks and salad. Good stuff. I love hanging out with my Emberly. Afterwards, we drove back to Budd's house, and Emmy played around in my stick car! It's so funny to see her drive that because we are always bucking when she's in first gear. Aaaah good stuff. Anyways, after I got home, I called Derick back and we decided to hang out. We started out watching TV and then got bored- his friend Peter was there, so we decided we wanted to play basketball, but there were already people on the court. We then decided to watch the Superbowl game which was about to start- we watched it with a girl named Adeliene and her roomie, Terry I believe. Stayed there for a bit and then went back to Derick's to watch the game, and his roomie was there- funny guy. Peter then decided it was time to play basketball as the game was going on, so we all went outside and started shooting some hoops- I suck at basketball like no other. (Mom I know you're gonna read this, so SORRY!). Peter then went out and bought a bottle of Capt. Morgan's. We all went into some other girls apartment right outside the apartments- Peter knew these people as did Derick's roomie who was already there. I had two or three glasses of Capt. + Coke- it was alright. It kind of screwed me up pretty quickly because I really don’t drink, but I was okay. Afterwards, played a little more basketball and then came to watch the end of the game at the girls’ apartment. That was quite the slaughter. We left after the game and I was hella tired- it was only about 930- I almost fell asleep on the living room floor when I got back to Derick's... I think he dozed off too momentarily, until he got a phone call. Anyhoo, we just chilled until about 1 AM... I walked home because I felt like my eyes were about to shrivel up and die because of my contacts. When I got home, Alvin was sleeping on the living room floor and Moni was on the couch- they were watching There’s Something About Mary. I woke Alvin up, and we ended up just chillin’ in my room until about 2. He’s just a sweet kid. Today I’m going to RELAX. I think I’m going to Pleasure Island tonight for a bit o’ dancing and fun (woohoo). I’m writing this from my own room in MY apartment. HAHAHAHA. I got to talk to my Mommy, Bri, Jen, and my cousin Andrew on AIM and I was so happy. Good stuff. Bri reminded me of the song that we wrote for our presentation of the endocrine system in junior year for AP Bio II- hahahahaha. The adrenal glaaaaaaaaaands… Good stuff. Jen is entirely lucky also- she only had one class this morning and now she is entirely off for the day- so a big fat poop to you. Mmm… time to go now. Tata!

Sunday, January 26, 2003 11:36 a.m.
Last night... oy vey, very very tiring day of work. I won't go into the whole story, but there was this one guy shopping at our store- he closed us out- freaking moronic guy. I had to take all that crap with a smile as he kept looking around for things to buy while other people were closing their registers. When I got home, I flopped and died pretty much. GAH.

Saturday, January 25, 2003 11:32 a.m.
Dude, somebody just ripped one in the computer lab... DAMN! It's naaaaaaaaaasty.

Saturday, January 25, 2003 11:05 a.m.
After I got out of work at 11 PM last night, I came home on the bus tired as anything. I gave Derek a call after I had finished getting out of my costume and all- he came over and we just chilled until about three or so. It was cool as always! We may or may not go to Epcot together today- I'll call him probably after I'm out of here. I also got my first paycheck- a whopping $19.02. You just don't know how thrilled I am. I'm actually kind of glad though, since they're going to double deduct the rent from my next paycheck- this means that only one of my classes was paid for on that paycheck, and my other two days of classes will be on the second one, which gives me a better chance of NOT owing money. Good stuff. I have tomorrow and Monday off which is oh so hot- I'm liking my schedule very very much. I'm off now!

Thursday, January 23, 2003 09:56 a.m.
Today I don't have to work until 430, but my shift ends at 1100, I believe. That's how my shifts go from today through Sunday. Why do I have the late shift, aaah?! That means a whole crap load of people are going to be pouring in because of the end of the Illuminations spectacular thing- oy vey. It will be ooooookay! Today I think I'm gonna do a bit o' laundry and do some food shopping before I have to leave at 340 to get to the bus. I wanted to sleep late today, but I'm always awoken by someone in the apartment doing something loud. Maybe I'm just a light sleeper, but oy! I just want to sleep.

Wednesday, January 22, 2003 02:04 p.m.
So as I was wrapping up my entry, I got the boot. I lost everything that I had written. GAAAH. Long story short- I'm going to be working at a store called Disney Traders which is located just before you walk into the World Showcase. Everything will be cool 'cause I'll be working with some nice people. Last night was awesome because a few kids and I started to just knock around the volleyball. Eventually, so many people were there that we could have divided into three teams of six. Awesome stuff. Afterwards, went into the hot tub and dove into the freezing cold swimming pool- that was a rush. Some hot boys there in the tub so I was happy! Tonight we're going to have a tournament in v-ball with teams of four at 930. Now I'm off.

Monday, January 20, 2003 07:12 p.m.
My sister and I both had the day off together. I'm so happy I'm here now, because I don't get to see her often during the year- we've gotten really close and I'm haaapppy. In the afternoon, Derek and I washed our cars together (well... he did mine because I did a shady job). We then went in his car and drove to meet my sister at the Milennium Mall or whatever it's called. The three of us ate yummy food at the Cheescake Factory, and did a bit of shopping (much to Derek's dismay, but he was a trooper). I then came back to Emmy's house and we just chilled as she cleaned up her room, went out to dinner with Cheryl, whom Emmy rents her room from, and we're out to Pleasure Island in a few hours. Will be a GOOD night. Plus, I got to talk briefly (very briefly) to Jen, whom I will call sometime soon, and I got to talk to Bri online, so I'm a happy girl. So many people to call, and so few minutes. Bah. Also, since I've been able to talk to my friends from home- talked to Jared, and my JAIME (congratulations on the sorority, my dear), and Todd IM'd me but I wasn't there and I didn't get to say hi, so if you're reading this, HI TODD! Now I'm off to take a power nap before I go out dancing. Tata for now!

Monday, January 20, 2003 09:54 a.m.
So I thought that I had the internet (slow as it may be) hooked up in my bedroom, but I can never get connected (get any attention) from the server. So now I'm back here in the freaking computer lab. I have today and tomorrow off from anything which is definitely nice. These past few days have been just loaded with .. stuff. I went to my merchantainment class where I learned how to work the register- problem is, since I'll be working at Epcot, they're using these touch screen ones which I did NOT learn to use. This is ridiculous. That class lasted eight and a half hours, but at least we get paid for it. I don't think I'm working at the pin station anymore, and now I have no idea where I'm going to be. That's okay though. Yesterday was my apartment-mate's birthday (Susan). She turned 19. I had the class in the morning and that sucked, because I would have liked to spend time with her on her birthday, but when I got back, Susan, Mani, and I went to Epcot and had an awesome time. We saw where Susan was going to be working, and I hope she likes it there. Mani got her costume and described it to us- she hates it, but the way she talked about it made everybody crack up. Today I may be going to one of the parks with a guy named Paul, whom I met in class yesterday, and a few other people. I've gotta see what happens. If not, I'll be hanging out with Derek- we both need to clean our cars- but tonight, I'm definitely going to Pleasure Island with my sister and a few of her friends- I hope my roomies come with me. My only complaint is that I'm the only really clean one (Susan is clean too). I'm the one who takes out the garbage and cleans up after people after they leave their stuff in the sink... blah blah blah. Otherwise, I'm hella happy. The only reason I'm worried about keeping everything so clean is because we get bugs if you don't clean out your garbage and keep things clean. In Florida, it SUCKS if that happens. Last night, after we got back from Epcot (sorry I'm jumping all over the place), Susan, Mani, and I ran into Jay who lievs across the hall. We all love this guy- he's sweet, funny, hot, and unfortunately for us, he's taken. But he's awesome to hang out with. He came over to the apartment and we started to watch Spiderman- of course we were talking the entire time, but over the course of the night, Jay's roomies Rico and George came over to hang out which was awesome, and Brian from downstairs (he's directly below our room). After everybody had left but obviously we girls and Brian, we just ended up talking about crap. We actually got into a good discussion about our beliefs and religion- in that room, everybody believed something different- I'm Jewish, Susan is Catholic, Mani is Christian, and Brian is Mormon. It was cool to listen to that stuff. At 2 AM, after having been up for about 22 hours, I went to sleep. Now I'm here, and I have to try and order my books for my evil evil practicum course to come. It won't be bad, I'm sure- I just need my books! To my friends- I miss you!!!!!!!!! Love ya Mom and Dad.

Friday, January 17, 2003 05:28 p.m.
So I'm here at the Disney program as we speak. I've moved into my apartment at Vista Way (bleh), I have three other apartment mates who are Mani (my roomie), and Jamie and Susan. They all seem like nice girls.. a bit interesting.. I dunno if we're going to be close, but I know we'll get along just fine. My Mommy left me this morning... that was tough. I miss my parents and I'm sure I'll miss them the entire time while I'm down here... but I know I'll get to see my mom is March or April, and maybe my dad also. My sister is down here though, so it's good to have her close by. To any of my friends who actually read this: sorry I've been slacking with phone calls- I've been limited on minutes and just really busy- once things have settled, it will be MUCH easier to talk. I miss people, but it's gonna be great down here. I'm going to be working at Epcot- I've been through all of the preliminary required meetings and Traditions- now I have my "merchantainment" specific meeting come Sunday, and a "Discovery Day" a few days later in the week. After that, I'll be working FINALLY! I need to work- this first week is gonna be a bit treacherous and boring, but I'm hoping that it flies by quickly. My computer is set up in my room, but I don't have access to the internet yet- I'm gonna work on that. That's it for now, off to do other things!

Tuesday, January 14, 2003 02:00 p.m.
In Florida now actually at my sister's house. Just wanted to say that I'm alive and stuff and I'll be writing again as soon as I can! Loving it here but miss people.

Friday, January 10, 2003 05:52 p.m.
I'm leaving for Florida now. To my friends: I love you guys! I probably won't be updating for a few days... but when I get to Florida and can get on the internet, I'll give you updates. I know I probably won't be posting nearly as much since the internet won't be as available. But.... I miss my friends already, and we'll speak soon. <3 Lisa

Friday, January 10, 2003 08:57 a.m.
Tonight I leave for Florida. It's gonna be so scary and weird, but good and awesome at the same time. I'm a bit scared, but it will be a really good experience.

Friday, January 10, 2003 12:03 a.m.
Tonight was just absolutely amazing for me. A group of eight, including myself, met at Applebee's for a bit o' talking and eating as my official going away to Florida dinner. I don't think anybody realizes how happy that made me, to have the people that I really care about and like and love around me. It was just so good... Jen got cheese on her coat, I said there was difficulty cutting the cheese (hehehe), Bri and her random phone convos, Min grilling Bobby, Nikhil playing with Brianna's cell phone the entire night, and Scott with his resin center Certs. Everything was just so much fun and so wonderful. The biggest thank you goes out to you guys from the bottom of my heart (this will be the cheesiest entry ever written, if you haven't gathered so already). Bri, I'm so glad that we took that little trip to Dunkin and just chatted about stuff. Everything... we've changed during college, and I used to think that was a bad thing, but I really think it's gonna bring us closer together. Jen, I will be seeing you (and your mommy) tomorrow (well technically today) so I can give you a proper goodbye. The poem made me smile and feel happy all over, so thank you for that. You know I love you so much. Emma... I'm not gonna get to see you before I leave, but I love you so much, and what you wrote really touched me. And I will end on this note: I couldn't have asked for a better way to spend my last night at home. Thank you to everybody who came: Scott (thank you so much for driving all the way to say goodbye), Jen (my funny money buddy since forever), Emma (the marshmallow movie we never made), Min (that one weekend at my house haha), Bri (DDD shall live forever), Bobby (I've only known you for a little bit, but you're one cool guy), and Nikhil (we haven't really hung out much, but I think you're a sweet and funny person).I love you guys so much... in particular to my three best friends: Jen, Emma, and Bri- I love you like you don't even know!

Thursday, January 9, 2003 08:01 a.m.
Tomorrow I will be DONE with all of my college crap. I got my recommendations from Dr. Trause today, and I should be receiving the other recommendations from my teachers in the mail today (or tomorrow at the latest). I can go into the high school and make little packets of stuff to send out to my five colleges. Let them accept me. I know NYU and Lehigh are unlikely, but it will be fun to try (or not). Today will be hella busy. Well not really, I think I just feel overwhelmed with all of the upcoming crap. I have to speak with Ramapo about the transcript release forms they sent to me because they're dumb and confusing, the fact that they charged me for spring housing when I won't be living there, visit my Grammy with my mom today to go out to lunch, and go out to dinner tonight with a few good friends. Applebees. WOOOHOOOO.

Wednesday, January 8, 2003 05:10 p.m.
Thank GOD! It was my last day of work and I'm so happy it's over with. It was awesome to spend the entire day with Jen- we just did our work, talked, goofed off, took a Target trip. Tomorrow night will be my "going away dinner". I don't know who will be attending, but.. big group or small group.. either way it will be wonderful.

Wednesday, January 8, 2003 08:42 a.m.
My last day of work today. Meh. Jen will be there so that is definitely a good thing. I brought my Harry Potter game cards to we can play that in the "drug room" since nobody goes back there, but we have to in order to file crap. Stupid terminated folders! Bah. But, I finished three online applications last night, and filled out the one for NYU and it's all printed out. I just have Lehigh left.

Tuesday, January 7, 2003 09:48 p.m.
My cousin Matt and his friend, Richard (the first kid I ever hookd up with) came to visit me today. It was nice to see 'em both. We went to Willowbrook to do a bit o' shopping, and then to Chili's for some fine dining. Of course my tummy hurt when we got back to my house.. bah. But I was just happy to see them both before I have to go to Florida. Yeaa!

Tuesday, January 7, 2003 02:59 p.m.
I decided to leave work early since Matt and Richard are coming at 5 or so... thought I would try and finish up my applications (and yes.. I'm almost done!) Now... off to finish. And I drove my manual all by myself today and I didn't die and neither did the car. WOOHOO.

Tuesday, January 7, 2003 08:39 a.m.
I am forced to drive my manual today... AAAAAH!

Tuesday, January 7, 2003 01:02 a.m.
Tonight was just so much fun and so nice. At 745 ish, I met Bri at Washington School so we could pepper a little bit to warm up for v-ball. We were in the little lobby area of the school waiting for the rec. basketball team to finish... then we played 5 on 4 once everybody got there (small crowd tonight... weird!). We both kicked major ass and I had so much fun. I'm gonna miss Monday night volleyball. Afterwards, Bri followed me home and we decided to watch Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (a wonderful idea of hers). Ooooooh such a good movie, and she had never seen it before. I'm gonna miss chill time a lot in Florida. Bah.

Monday, January 6, 2003 05:40 p.m.
Okay- today is just a day of awesomeness. One: my Mom got the CD player installed in my Civic, and it's mad mad hot. Thank you, Mom!!!! Two: I did absolutely *nothing* at work today for eight hours, and got paid for it. Three: When I got home to check my e-mail after work, I had five new messages, three of which were from teachers I needed to speak with about recommendations. Everything is going to work out fine, and I'll have everything I need. I'm so relieved right now and so happy. Four: volleyball tonight with Dad and Bri. It doesn't get better than that.

Monday, January 6, 2003 08:15 a.m.
Work today. I'm praying the time passes very quickly. For the next three days, that is. Just at work, not at home. Tonight I'm going to try and finish filling out all or most of my applications. I want to get this over and done with.

Sunday, January 5, 2003 10:26 p.m.
Gosh how I wish my teachers would respond to my e-mails. Grrr. Only one has!

Sunday, January 5, 2003 02:52 p.m.
PS- I got a haircut and I love it. Nice and short, but long enough to put up. Yessss.

Sunday, January 5, 2003 02:47 p.m.
I went shopping with my Mommy today and it was a day of accomplishing things! We bought a whole bunch of stuff (yes.. I actually *needed* this stuff for once). Got a pair of Dickies capri pants which I love, two belts (Quicksilver and... I forget the other one I got), a new purse, a wristlet (for going out), a big mommy sized wallet (holds a checkbook and money and credit cards), and a brand new purse! Woohoo. Those wristlet things are little pouch type.. things.. that you wear around your wrist to hold your money and whatever when you go out so you don't have to carry your purse. Very happy. Mom and I are gonna finish packing up today, I believe, and then we're gonna rent a movie and watch it tonight. Sometime this week, she's gonna go get my car CD player installed at Circuit City while I'm at work- found one I can afford- 99 bucks for the system and installation- may just have to pay for a few parts. Aaaaaand, tomorrow night, my Dad my come with me to play volleyball at Washington School. BRI IS COMING TOO! PEPPER!

Sunday, January 5, 2003 10:01 a.m.
Last night was just "yeaaaaa". After packing up a nice amount of stuff with my Mom, at 1030, Bri and I went to the bowling alley where we met up with Min and Dan. I bowled a craptastic game and came in last, losing by two points to Bri and Min who tied. I suck! But it was just so fun. I haven't done that type of stuff in a loooooong time. Probably not since Bri and I met Joe and his friend at the bowling alley this summer. Today.. haircuts, shopping, packing.

Saturday, January 4, 2003 07:26 p.m.
Packing up is a sad sad thing.

Saturday, January 4, 2003 09:23 a.m.
I was so tired last night! Couldn't go out because the weather was just heinous. My parents and I watched Lilo and Stitch- such a cute movie. I fell asleep pretty much right after the movie which ended at ten, and just woke up. I needed that sleep. Today will be all about packing for Florida and working on college crap, as tomorrow will be the same. Bleh.

Friday, January 3, 2003 08:27 a.m.
Ooooh- some nasty weather out there today, dontcha know. Must work anyways! I almost finished my college essay for the schools I wanna transfer to. It should be able to fit all of them. YES.

Thursday, January 2, 2003 10:39 p.m.
Tonight was really cool. Went to Bri's house and Min was there too to watch Van Wilder. First, we looked at some pictures of Bri @ TCNJ. Good stuff, I tell you. Then Nikhil came and we started the movie. I liked just hanging out and relaxing (as usual). 'Tis good stuff. Getting home was nasty. Min's car wouldn't start, and we had to scrape nasty ice off of all three of our cars. Cold cold cold without gloves and a hat. Brr. Drove about 15 mph all the way home- very not fun. Buuuuut I had a cool night.

Thursday, January 2, 2003 05:09 p.m.
I got my freaking grade from Int'l Studies and it was a freaking A-. I wanted an A! I had four other A's, and now I have one A-. I'm really really mad.

Thursday, January 2, 2003 07:24 a.m.
Have to go to the high school today to speak with Dr. Trause about writing me a reccomendation, and also speak with the guidance office about having my transcript forwarded to the colleges I said in the last entry. Then, off to work. Woo.

Wednesday, January 1, 2003 11:51 p.m.
Just got back from a wonderful weekend. Had a kick ass new year, and today, Jaime, Marcy, Sarah, Robert, Mom, and I went to see Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (my second time seeing it). Woo! Love it still. I've decided that these are the final six schools I'm applying to:
Florida State University (Tallahassee)
University of Florida @ Gainesvilee
SUNY Binghamton
NYU
Columbia
Lehigh
I'm pretty sure I'll get into the first three (there's no reason why I shouldn't) and the last three are a reach. So I'm thinking (praying) for at least three acceptance letter, and expect three denials. Let me get into my expected three.

Wednesday, January 1, 2003 09:59 a.m.
I'm at the Feinman's house right now for New Year's. We ate some mad good Chinese food last night (although I ordered sushi... cucumber roll since I turned veg, and miso soup). Now I'm gonna eat food.

Tuesday, December 31, 2002 02:51 p.m.
Soooooo... after work today (Sue and I stopped at 145) we went to Target. We had to buy DVD'S just because they're great. I got Sponge Bob episodes on DVD, and she got Sex and The City (Season One) and When Harry Met Sally. She said we could have a Sex and the City party at her house- we both love that show far too much. Woohoo. I just got off the phone with Bri- haven't done that much talking in a while and I know I don't shut up about it, but I like talking with old friends- I think we distanced a lot at the end of high school and beginning of college, but this is really reassuring that I think things aren't going to die. I was really worried about that at the beginning of college- that we wouldn't talk anymore- I never had the guts to IM her or anything. But now I'm just really happy and relieved, and it doesn't get better than that. Happy New Years, everybody!

Tuesday, December 31, 2002 02:01 a.m.
Tonight was just so much fun. I went to Bri's house at about 830. Jes (yeaaaaaaaaa!!!) was there already for a few. So happy to see them both. Honestly, I'm just so happy that I'm able to see these people. Anyhoo, a few minutes later, Bobby arrived. We all popped into the basement and started to watch the movie I rented, Super Troopers (meow). That was just hysterical.... then Jes left (meh), and the remaining four of us went to Tristan's house for a little party. We had soooooo much trouble finding it, Bri and I were in her car, and Glenn and Bobby were in Bobby's car. We had to call Nikhil, and he waited outside of the house with Dan for us. We then all went to Wendy's (as per request of Dan and Nikhil). I switched to Bobby and Glenn's car, and we all went there, got our stuff, and went back to Tristan's. A nice group of kids was there from high school- Nikhil and Dan (obviously), John, Alex, Frenchy, Tristan, some people from some other town, then the four of us. Most of them were drunk already, but still cool to be around. We played beer pong (I played with water... I knew I had to do some driving, so I didn't drink)... the game lasted FOREVER. It was Bri and Nikhil vs. Alex and Dan. The game went into double overtime- I was praying for it to end, but it was so much fun. Most importantly- Happy New Years Eve day, and HAPPY 19TH BIRTHDAY TO BRIANNA!!!!!!!!!! <3 <3 <3 <3

Monday, December 30, 2002 05:37 p.m.
I worked eight and a half hours today and I'm tired, hungry, and achy! I think I'm going to hang out with Bri, Jes, and maybe Min tonight! Yeaaaaa.

Monday, December 30, 2002 08:23 a.m.
Work work work work. Blah blah. Must work at least five hours each day to earn the cash. Wouldn't that be nice? Yesssss. Owe my parents 265 for my digi cam, and I'm gonna end up putting a CD player into MY Civic... I just need money.

Sunday, December 29, 2002 11:44 p.m.
Bri came over tonight- my cousins Marion, Irv, and Rachel were over and we were playing Boggle (no.. it was my PARENTS idea, so hush.... but it was fun). Bri joined us for a few rounds, we ate some yummy apple pie and ice cream, and then we proceeded to watch Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom! We agreed we must get together at least once or twice more to see The Sound of Music and Star Wars. Harrison Ford fest (minus the Sound of Music). WOO!

Sunday, December 29, 2002 01:04 p.m.
I drove the manual Civic over to visit my Grandma with my Dad. I stalled out once and it sucked. Before I gave too much guess when I needed to start from a stop position, and now I give too little sometimes. BAH. Where's Emma?

Sunday, December 29, 2002 09:35 a.m.
I just realized that I still have to write two of my essays for my college applications. Bah. I still have plenty of time to do them, but I'm really not in the mood right now. I'm so pooped out right now, and I just want to be able to relax. Today, I may go bowling with Emma (I hope). That would be hardcore. Otherwise, I dunno!

Saturday, December 28, 2002 11:08 p.m.
Today... was just awesome. I had so much fun and it was great, and I'll leave it at that. Belly!

Saturday, December 28, 2002 10:19 a.m.
Scott is comin' to visit today. I have no idea where I'll take him and all, but it will be cool.

Friday, December 27, 2002 04:03 p.m.
I worked with Jen today and we hung out and got pictures and made a dinosaur and it was great!!!! Aaah I luff her.

Friday, December 27, 2002 08:27 a.m.
Going to work with MY JEN today. Woohoooo. Gonna hang out with her afterwards, since we haven't seen each other since we've been home. I can't wait. Woohooo! And Scott, if ye read this, the directions you got are fine.

Thursday, December 26, 2002 04:47 p.m.
Just got back from work, tried to call Jen and the line is busy. Bah. Call Scott later when I know he'll be back from work. Work today was fine- did a whole lot of nothing and got paid for doing so. Went to Best Buy with Sue today during lunch, and I was looking at car CD/Stereo things. There was an annoying mother with her spoiled daughter, trying to pick out a good CD thing for the daughter's car. The mother was both a moron and incredibly irritating. She had one of those oh so famous New Jersey accents- most of us do not have them, rest assured (I don't)... but she... holy crap. I wanted to smack her. "Do these lights stay bluuuuuue or do they turn reeeeed?" AAAAAH. Anyhoo, yesterday was awesome. Snow storm which made driving oh so much fun to New Rochelle to visit the Browns. We went to the movies (like all Jews) and saw Lord of the Rings. Well... actually, John and I saw that movie, and our parents went to go see Catch Me if You Can. I wanted to see that, too, but John and I were impatient to wait. The movie was hella good, except for the bitch yapping behind me, and the baby crying and making evil noises in front of me. Otherwise, fantastic. We then went (John and I) to their friends house... it was snowy as hell at this point, so driving there was ridiculous. The streets weren't plowed, so we were doing 15. When we had to drive up the hill, it was so ridiculous. Skidding, sliding, fun stuff- we laughed hysterically- it was amusing. We got there safely, had a nice dinner, then drove home. That was that. I had a nice time. I'm gonna go work on some college essays now. BAH.

Thursday, December 26, 2002 09:17 a.m.
Don't want to go to work today. I'm feeling far too lazy. When I get home, I have to work on essays. I haven't heard back from D.T. about my Latin recommendation, and I'm too tired. Need sleeeep. I'll write about yesterday when I get home later if I have time, which I know I will so I should shut up now.

Thursday, December 26, 2002 12:03 a.m.
Christmas day was wonderful. I'm too lazy to type it all out now, so I'll write more about it after a few hours of sleep. Don't know if I'm gonna go into work tomorrow that early... nono. I need sleep.

Wednesday, December 25, 2002 11:00 a.m.
Trading Spaces all day. It's my dream day! Woo. Just kidding- have to work on the essays. I was up until 1 just reprinting out pages I had messed up on, now I must write write write. Bah. Merry Christmas to those who celebrate. To the rest of us, enjoy the snow.

Wednesday, December 25, 2002 12:20 a.m.
I just perfected everything I can fill out on my four applications- must do the essay/short answers tomorrow and fill in other stuff as I figure it out. So much work, so little time.

Tuesday, December 24, 2002 08:14 p.m.
My Tuugii is gone. We drove her to Ramapo today in order to meet up with the person she will be staying with next... nobody saw me, but I cried in the car. I'm gonna miss her so much- it sucks. But... happy Christmas to you Christmas celebrating people. Being a Jew, I'll be going to the movies tomorrow. Hopefully I'll see LOTR: The Two Towers. May it be niec enough, weather wise, to be able to do so.

Tuesday, December 24, 2002 02:46 p.m.
So last night was so much fun. I drove over to Bri's house at 530, and we just chilled around her room until 6 when Bobby showed up. It was awesome to really just sit around and listen to music in her comfy comfy bedroom- I missed doing thish stuff a lot. So Bobby picks us up- he is so incredibly sweet and respectful to both Bri and I (of course to Bri- she was his date!). We drive to his friend's house in Livingston- his friend also was coming to the game, and so Bri invited me as a fourth. The guy's name was Glen- oh this boy. Very very very nice. Incredibly sexy and hot, but most importantly so sweet and respectful also. We were able to talk during the game (which was so much fun to watch) and I had a great time with the three of them. It was just an awesome night. Must do it again.

Tuesday, December 24, 2002 08:39 a.m.
Last night was sooooo much fun! I'm so glad that I actually went... I'll update later. Gotta do a few things then I'm off to work, then I have to drive Tuugii to Ramapo where the next person she is staying with will pick her up... holiday traffic will be F-U-N.

Monday, December 23, 2002 05:05 p.m.
Day of busy stuff. Worked from 9- 11:30, went to Chester, NJ with the Mom and Tuugii to look around that gorgeous town, then in about half an hour I'm going to meet Bri at her house and go to a Nets game with two guys I have never met. Oy vey.

Sunday, December 22, 2002 09:14 p.m.
I saw my degree audit at Ramapo and I have the final grades for three of my five classes- all A's so far (English, US History, and First Year Seminar). I still have to see about Math and Int'l Studies... pray for me! I want a 4.0, damn it!

Sunday, December 22, 2002 10:02 a.m.
Going to see my Grammy today, and my Cousin Andrew and Aunt Carol will be there. Woo! Watched Legally Blonde last night with Tuugii- I love that movie, and so did she. Such a good thing.

Saturday, December 21, 2002 11:21 p.m.
Today was busy- did everything I said I would- now I'm bored. Printed out applications to University of Florida at Gainesville, Syracuse, and NYU. Still have to print out SUNY Binghamton, but the freaking school site doesn't work!

Saturday, December 21, 2002 10:00 a.m.
I think I may be applying to five schools for transferring from Ramapo. Lots of work to do before I leave. Gonna go out to Panera with Lisa at 11. Now.. shower time.

Friday, December 20, 2002 08:37 p.m.
Today was hella busy. I worked from 9 until 3:30, then went home to pick up a screw driver and paper towels to finish cleaning my room, then went straight to Ramapo. I dusted, vacuumed, cleaned the tiled floors, and made that place freaking spotless. I helped Dan carry all of his remaining stuff to his car, then Tuugii came back. I went back down the hill to the lot, brought my car up, we put our things in the trunk, and then we both checked out. Now I'm back home, tired. Tuugii and I are going to (hopefully) see Two Weeks Notice tonight, assuming it's not sold out. That would just suck. If it is, we'll do something else. Tomorrow, gonna go out to eat at Panera with Li, and then go food shopping probably. So busssyyyyy!

Friday, December 20, 2002 08:25 a.m.
I'm going to work in about twenty minutes. Need to rake in some dough. I'm hoping that I'll be able to make at least 500 bucks if I work as much as I can (there's so much Christmas break) over the next few weeks. I'm gonna try and work my ass off and bring my bank account back up to where it used to be. Straight after work, I'm heading up to Ramapo to finish cleaning the room, and to pick up Tuugii, and do my personal checkout. After that, if we don't get back too late, I'm hoping that Bri will be able to hang out. That would be really cool. Now... I'm going to relax, since I won't be able to do that for about another twelve hours. Lord help me.

Thursday, December 19, 2002 06:52 p.m.
After talking with your friends online, you realize how much you miss them and can't wait to see them and hang out like the old days. I'm gonna see Bri tomorrow night (I'm sincerely hoping) and that makes me happy. Very happy!

Thursday, December 19, 2002 03:59 p.m.
So glad to be back home after running out and about with my Mom. Tiiiiired. Think I'll go to work tomorrow morning.

Thursday, December 19, 2002 09:01 a.m.
Mommy and I are lookin' up hotels to stay at when I'm in Florida. Got some nice stuff going here. I slept like a baby last night. In my own bed, under my own sheets, sleeping on my own pillows. So nice.

Wednesday, December 18, 2002 09:40 p.m.
I'm home. It's different. When my dad pulled up to the parking lot, and when I stepped outside of my dorm, I got a queasy feeling in my tummy. I don't want to be leaving everybody at school- I said my goodbye's to my Tracie. I miss her already. It sucks really badly. I miss my Tracie face.

Wednesday, December 18, 2002 05:59 p.m.
I added more pictures! Muahahaha. Maybe more tonight, if I can.

Wednesday, December 18, 2002 04:44 p.m.
I added five more pictures to the picture area of the Lisa section. Check 'em out! I finished my exam after an hour- I think I did very well on the definitions and on my essays and the majority of the multiple choice, but I dunno if I got that 90. Oh well! We shall soon see.

Wednesday, December 18, 2002 02:25 p.m.
Test in an hour, OY! Studied with Tracie, and that was nice to have a study partner so yeaaa. Sat with Eric from my seminar class at lunch. I'm gonna miss that kid, so I got a few pictures of him with my digi camera. I'll upload all of this stuff eventually. Study a little bit more and I'm off.

Wednesday, December 18, 2002 09:17 a.m.
Okay- my last final is today. My dad is coming up tonight to pick up all of my electronic stuff and get all my shizznit out of here and I'll be home until Friday. Bleh. Lord of the Rings comes out tonight, and I'm thinking maybe I'd like to go to a midnight showing, or go tomorrow during the afternoon 'cause nobody will be there- or maybe I'll go Friday at the Palisades if somebody comes with me. I dunno. Alas, Tuugii is sick! Make her not be sick, 'cause it sucks to be sick during finals.

Tuesday, December 17, 2002 12:53 p.m.
Dan and I just helped each other bring down some of our stuff to our cars. My room is getting to be so barren- the drawers are empty and it's sad. My roooooom! And earlier, I got an IM from Bri- old friends messaging me makes me happy. It was so nice to actually be able to talk for more than one minute. That made me so happy.

Tuesday, December 17, 2002 09:45 a.m.
I think that my math final went very very well. Maybe not a one hundred, but a very good grade. Then afterwards, I spoke with my Int'l Studies teacher about the final tomorrow- we talked about the terms that we needed to know, and how much we needed to know about them in detail- my confidence shot up 500% after what she said about it. Thank goodness.

Monday, December 16, 2002 11:10 p.m.
MY FREAKING GNU IS BROKEN AND DEAD. Noooooooooooooooo. Math finalin the morning, wish me some freaking luck.

Monday, December 16, 2002 08:36 p.m.
Min just IM'd me. Honestly... that just made me so happy. I'm glad to hear from people I thought might not be entirely interested in talking with me (for whatever reason.. I don't know). But that was just a huge pleasant surprise, for lack of a better phrase. I'm just happy. And I talked to Scott AND Jen on the phone today, so it's doubly hot.

Monday, December 16, 2002 06:05 p.m.
People are leaaaving! It's so weird. I ran into one of the girls from my first year seminar class, and she's leaving tonight. She's a cool girl, her name's Renee, and she was on my floor. Nooo!

Monday, December 16, 2002 02:56 p.m.
Today is such a lazy day. So lazy in fact that I'm feeling too lazy to get off my chair and do something like study. I think a girl from my math class (Tracy.. not my Tracie... another one) will come over for some tutoring. I love helping people out like that.

Monday, December 16, 2002 01:03 p.m.
God bless my Daniel! He got my digi camera to upload the pictures onto my computer and stuff, so I added eleven of 'em to the pictures section under the "Lisa" section. They're all from college. Woohooo.

Monday, December 16, 2002 11:15 a.m.
Dan is a goof. We meant to take pictures a long time ago, so we finally did so today on the infamous webcam. Lovely pictures, if I do say so myself. Three of em, actually. Check 'em out. Food soon. I'm huuuungry!

Monday, December 16, 2002 09:37 a.m.
Study a bit today- hopefully Scott will be callin' me and that would be the highlight... hopefully hang out with Dan for a little bit 'cause I'll miss this boy, and get a good night's sleep for final number one of two tomorrow.

Sunday, December 15, 2002 10:13 p.m.
Li just randomly IM'd me about full frontal lobotomies (hahaha). It was nice to hear from her... we haven't talked in a *long* time.

Sunday, December 15, 2002 09:42 p.m.
I went out to dinner with Tuugii, Brittanie, Erin, and Rachel tagged along too. Went to Houlihans and got the yummiest vegetarian salad. Mmmm... then when I got back, Tiffanie left a note on our door asking me to drop by. She gave me a Mickey Mouse chocolate stick thing her Mommy made, and then we were just talking for about an hour and a half and she's another one I'm going to miss dearly. I love my Tiffanie. It's not even RA-ish, she's just like a regular friend, and there ain't nothin' better than that.

Sunday, December 15, 2002 02:01 p.m.
This morning I went to brunch with Tracie and Tuugii. I love 'em both to death. Tracie is one crazy girl, and a big dork like me, so it's just a good mix of personalities. Love hanging out with her. I've said it before, and I'll say it again (and again and again): I'm gonna miss that girl a hella lot. Gonna be studyin' with Tracie in a few hours, and going out to dinner with Tuugii, Brittanie, and Erin as my "goodbye to Disney and Ramapo" meal. It's sad.

Sunday, December 15, 2002 10:09 a.m.
Headache. I've been having pretty much a constant headache, even to the point of migraine for the past few days. Help meeeeeeeeee.

Sunday, December 15, 2002 12:21 a.m.
Eee, talking to Scott. He makes me smile.

Saturday, December 14, 2002 09:15 a.m.
Tuugii wants to go shopping. I don't want to go shopping. Noooo shopping! No malls. The reason I got all my shopping done before is because I *hate* the crowds at the stores. She also wants to go into the city today, but it's gonna be rainy and cold, and I don't want to get sick again, especially with finals coming up. She chanted the word "shopping" this morning and I was laughing so hard and about to cry! Noooooo. Blech. I fear the word shopping right now! But, on a happy note: Last night at around 10, I get a phone call. It's Scott! He's too cute. We talked for about an hour and a half, and we're gonna try and get together sometime over our overlapping vacation breaks. That made me so happy.

Friday, December 13, 2002 09:36 p.m.
JKFeinman: starkle, starkle, little twink, who the heck you are i think. i'm not under the alkafluence of inkahol that some thinkle peep i am. i've had tee martoonies and a scottle of botch, and the drunker i've sat here, the longer i got.

Hehehehe. Yeaa for Jaime.

Friday, December 13, 2002 03:48 p.m.
I'm gonna talk to Jen! Woo. Bri is gonna try and be an ambassador to TCNJ, so good luck with that. Tonight.. will be boring I'm sure. Not sure there is anything to do. What does this mean? Movie time for me. Tuugii I'm sure would want to go shopping, but I dunno if I'm up for that on a Friday night with all the crowds... especially since I don't need to buy anything. Aaah sadness.. last class today. Hopefully my last one at Ramapo for my college career. Hardcore. Now I'll relax until Jen calls and Trading Spaces comes on. Make it a good one.

Friday, December 13, 2002 11:38 a.m.
In the computer lab right now for my English class- gonna help somebody out with a paper, and then I'm outta here to get some grub. One more class- my last class. Thank goodness. First Year Seminar, and I think we're just gonna be watching a movie. So now... play on the computers until I can be of any help.

Friday, December 13, 2002 10:45 a.m.
Tracie gave me the bestest gift this morning at breakfast: Homer magnets!!! AAAAAH. So happy, I luff them. Best of all, she wrote me the nicest, sweetest card. I won't forget 'bout you! I love ya!

Friday, December 13, 2002 07:35 a.m.
Chris L. IM'd me sometime last night while I was sleepin'. Haven't talked to him in a *while*. Off to food.

Thursday, December 12, 2002 11:34 p.m.
Tuugii, Brittanie and Erin (my suitemates), and I are gonna go out to dinner this Saturday so we can all say goodbye since I won't be coming back to Ramapo. That kinda sucks. I gave them the presents I bought for 'em: Spiderman shot glasses. They loved them! Tonight, going to bed early and doing a bit o' reading. Tomorrow, my last three classes. Thank goodness. One of them (English) I don't even have to go to. Woohooo.

Thursday, December 12, 2002 07:49 p.m.
That hill up to the dorms will kill me oneo of these days. Oy vey, my laundry basket was so heavy because I had three monster books in it. My arm lost circulation. AAH.

Thursday, December 12, 2002 06:41 p.m.
I hung out with Jared for a little bit today while I was home, 'cause I miss hanging out with the kid. We just played pool and ping pong and I won in pool 'cause he scratched on the 8 ball. Muahahahaha. But I did have all but one of the stripes in (obviously I was stripes). So I was on my way to winning, I assure you! Now, i'm gonna relax for a little bit longer, call my Daddy, see when he's gonna be home- if it's soon, I'll wait. If not, I'll go. I'd like to see my Mommy, but she said she'll probably be back too late. Bah. But Harry Potter is on HBO and I just had a dinner of tofu eggrolls and water. They're really yummy, actually, and I'm quite full. That's it for now.

Thursday, December 12, 2002 04:08 p.m.
I went and visited my favorite teacher, Dr. Trause at the high school. I went to him specifically to talk about my transfer to another school, and ask him about the classics departments that he thought would suit me well. It was really cool to see him again, and he even gave me our Latin I and II books to keep! I miss that class soooo much. That's weird to say, 'cause I worked my butt off at times for that class, and always did well mind you, but I miss taking that language. Bah. And a special shout out to both my silly Jen and to Scott! I know you'll read this... at one point or another.

Thursday, December 12, 2002 01:05 p.m.
Home! Doing laundry (blech) and relaxing. I decided to buy Hedwig and the Angry Inch on DVD... watched it and I love it soso much. It's all lonely at home- Dad's at work and mom is going to talk with some surgeons for her upcoming surgery. She's really scared and worried, but things will be fine, I know it. So now I'll just sit here online until 240 and then I'll be running to the high school to talk to Dr. Trause about college stuff. Need his opinion on where to transfer to, since he's a big expert on classical studies, Latin, etc.

Thursday, December 12, 2002 08:17 a.m.
Marcus got most of his site up, and it looks wonderful (as I would expect of course). He's a newbie to my domain... he's a cool guy! Check it out. Don't want to drive home in icy mess. Bleh.

Wednesday, December 11, 2002 09:31 p.m.
I fell asleep watching Dumb and Dumber in Dan's room. His bed is comfy. And he has a pink pillow. Hehehehe. Anyways, I downloaded Hedwig and the Angry Inch on Kazaa... so I get to WATCH IT! WOO! Floor meeting in about half an hour.

Wednesday, December 11, 2002 05:23 p.m.
I handed in my last paper into my International Studies class. Aaaah, that felt nice to get that done. Tonight.. relaxation and get some more stuff to bring home with me that I won't be needing at campus.

Wednesday, December 11, 2002 11:00 a.m.
A in English, A in US history, probably an A in my three other courses... beautiful. Beautiful stuff. Tomorrow I'm driving home to bring some stuff that I've packed already. I hope there's no ice!

Tuesday, December 10, 2002 09:15 p.m.
Gd bless Emma and her findings on the internet.

Tuesday, December 10, 2002 08:44 p.m.
There was just a fire drill. We hadn't had one of those in oh so long! It was so nice without it... Tuugii and I, instead of waiting outside in teh cold for the alarm to stop sounding, went to Pine Hall to stand in the lobby where it was at least 10 degrees warmer than outside. Good news: Scott is a sweetheart! Said very nice thing today that made me smile. Also- if anybody wants to buy me Hedwig and the Angry Inch, I'd be forever grateful.

Tuesday, December 10, 2002 12:28 p.m.
I got A's on everything I handed into English for the end of the year. My professor also told me that I'll be getting an A for the class. Woo! He talked with me about transferring (it wasn't even me who brought it up, but him). He said I should be looking at places a step up from Ramapo... he suggested NYU possibly or Rutgers. I dunno if I'm smart enough for those. But he said something that really made me smile, and it was sweet. He told me that I really underestimate myself and what I'm capable of, and I *should* be looking at places like those. That made me happy. Good day good day.

Tuesday, December 10, 2002 10:18 a.m.
God bless my math class. Talked to Stephen most of the time.. oh he's just gorgeous. One more class, unfortunately. Hopefully he'll be asking me for my number, which would be oh so nice. If not, it's cool too. Tonight I may go to the mall with Tracie. We shall see.

Monday, December 9, 2002 11:34 p.m.
Holy craptastic wonder!!! Josh just came over and I edited his paper (it was good). Anyhoo, he brought these things called Riblets that are made by Gardenburger, and they were just SO GOOD. It tastes like actual meat, but it's really just soy and some other stuff. My goodness, God bless Josh and his Vegetarian/Vegan knowledge. And I talked to Jen on the phone today and she doesnt' sound so happy so I wish you were happier 'cause me loves you. I talked to Scott for a bit too which is always awesome and full of fun. Priscilla tried to help me set up a cam to put on my website.. here... but it's not working, so we'll have to work on this. And I talked to my Mommy a few times which was nice 'cause I do love my Mommy, even though I may not say it on here a lot ::eh hem eh hem:: Good night, all.

Monday, December 9, 2002 07:47 p.m.
Wanna see my new shirt?!?! Bought it yesterday at H & M with Tuugii.

Monday, December 9, 2002 03:57 p.m.
I watched Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets again on my computer. I love that movie. Got all the necessary paperwork for the co-op Disney thing, filled out what I needed to, and created a resume. Still have to discuss the moving out situation with the Linden office. Oy vey.

Monday, December 9, 2002 09:27 a.m.
Gonna meet with Phyllis at the Cahill Center today about the Disney internship. Woo. Finally.

Sunday, December 8, 2002 07:07 p.m.
An Ode to Mommy:
There once was a Mom named Eileen.
She was often fun and not mean.
I know her heart's rich,
But she can be a bitch
And she keeps her toenails clean!
I looooooove you, Mommy!

Sunday, December 8, 2002 05:55 p.m.
I am so pooped. So tired. Just dead. Took Tuugii out to Panera for some yummy yummy sandwiches, then went to the Palisades Mall. She has an endless amount of energy when it comes to shopping- she's running all over and I'm dying in the corner. It's so funny though. Tonight is karaoke night, so we're gonna see that at 7 at J. Lee's. Woo!

Sunday, December 8, 2002 11:58 a.m.
Taking Tuugii out to a brunch/lunch type thing, since we couldn't get out on her birthday. Think we're going to I-HOP and we're also gonna go shopping for some clothes for her. That's about it!

Saturday, December 7, 2002 06:45 p.m.
Digise, Paul, and Jerry just left- the website is gonna rock hardcore when it's done. It's coming out very nicely.

Saturday, December 7, 2002 01:44 p.m.
As far as I know, Digise is comin' up here today so I can help him with his band's website. Woo!

Saturday, December 7, 2002 10:58 a.m.
My digital camera works great.. if it would only INSTALL PROPERLY ONTO MY COMPUTER! Why is Dan sleeping? He's good at this- and he's supposed to go eat food with me, but he ain't here.

Saturday, December 7, 2002 01:07 a.m.
Tonight was soooooo much fun. We went to the FASA thing- Tracie, Tuugii, and I played some pool against some real asshole guys. I really was so tempted to smack them... hard. But we still ha da really nice time. Then we decided to come to the dancing at my dorm (Linden). It was sooooo much fun. We really didn't dance much out in the lounges- the three of us were dancing in the rooms and it was honestly the most fun I've had since I've been here. The three of us decided that before the semester is over, we're going to have to go to a club- even if it's just Facades. Dancing- I may suck, but it's so much fun to dance with Tracie and Tuugii. Sooooo good.

Friday, December 6, 2002 09:05 p.m.
Oy my tummy aches. Shopping was quick, but so much fun. I went with Tuugii, Tracie, and Brittanie. I was with Tracie 'cause we had to go to the same stores, and Tuugii and Brittanie 'cause they both went to Borders. I had *so* much fun with Tracie, 'cause she's so much fun and she's one of the funniest people I know. Must go out with her again. We danced and sang in the middle of CVS, and acted all crazy like. I was happy. I never do that. Then, once we were finished and I parked my car... Tracie's cell phone rang. I had given my phone to Tuugii for Tracie and I to call her and Brittanie on so we could meet up and leave. Anyways... so Tracie's phone rang on the way back up to the dorms, and then Tuugii remembers my phone. She looks at me with frantic eyes and a horrified look on her face, and she goes, "Liiiiiiisaaaaa!" I said, "Oh no, Tuugii. Tell me you didn't." She just keeps looking at me all scared, and reaches into her pockets. She looks like she's about to die, and then.. BAM. Out comes my cell phone. She starts laughing hysterically. She's a jokester. Hehehe.

Friday, December 6, 2002 05:24 p.m.
Tonight- FASA thing with Tracie and Tuugii, dancing on all floors of Linden (YES!), and... shopping.

Friday, December 6, 2002 07:28 a.m.
Not feelin so well right now. Tons of stuff to do today. Classes, shower, Cahill Center, talk with Professor Johnson, FASA thing tonight.. woo.

Thursday, December 5, 2002 05:44 p.m.
No going out to dinner tonight with Tuugii, 'cause it's too nasty to drive anywhere nice... looks like dinner at the Pavilion, because the Birch Tree is closed. BAH. Bri im'd me which was a pleasant surprise.. we don't talk as much as I'd like. That's definitely something I need to work on. Anyways- after dinne tonight, we're gonna watch Wayne's World. Wooohooo. Tuugii and I are constantly decorating our room and so we hung up some more pictures.

Thursday, December 5, 2002 04:04 p.m.
Scanned in some more pictures, and they're up in the "Lisa" section. Gooo go go go.

Thursday, December 5, 2002 10:23 a.m.
Happy birthday TUUGII. Tuugii it's your BIRTHDAY. Aaaah, my dearest roomie is now an old geezer of twenty years! So scaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaary. Gonna do somethin' special.

Thursday, December 5, 2002 12:14 a.m.
So like I said, I accepted my offer at Disney. I am going to miss three people in particular from here. My Tuugii, my Tracie face, and my Dan (Lisa to the M). I'm gonna miss each of them so sosososososo much. Tuugii.. I love her to death. She and I are so close and it's only been a few months since we've known each other. I love her and I love being around her. My Tracie! I *love* Tracie. She is one of the sweetest people I have met, by far, since I've been here. From the first time we talked, she is the absolute sweetest and funniest people I know. I don't even know how to describe her, but it's really not gonna be the same without her. And lastly there is my Dan. I immediately bonded with him the first time we talked. He's my movie buddy, and really just the male version of me. He's just so much fun to hang out with, and he's a handy man, and he is just a great guy in general. Without these people, it's gonna be *so* weird.

Wednesday, December 4, 2002 07:58 p.m.
I just accepted the Disney role. I'm gonna go on January 15th and staying until August 15th.

Wednesday, December 4, 2002 10:40 a.m.
My sister just called me... the second I knew it was her, especially since she called me today, I knew what she wanted to talk about. The whole Disney thing. She also thinks I shouldn't do it now. None of my family wants me to. N-O-N-E. I also found out that my Mom is pissed at me. This has potential to be a messy messy day.

Wednesday, December 4, 2002 12:00 a.m.
Tuugii and I just watched History of the World... I love that movie. Woohoo. Plus, she had her secret stash of ice cream, so that just added to the wonderfulness. Off to sleep.

Tuesday, December 3, 2002 10:00 p.m.
Today didn't turn out as badly as I had expected. Still, not fun, and it will be a bit stressful and all, and I will have much to do tomorrow. By tomorrow I'm hoping to know if I'm going to accept my Disney internship (I talked with my parents in a more reasonable manner and they're going to sleep on it), and I may also transfer schools come the next fall semester. I don't know.

Tuesday, December 3, 2002 04:18 p.m.
OH MY FREAKING GOD. I am so mad right now. Sosososososo mad. You know I was accepted into the Disney College Program. I have to decide if I'm going or not for the Spring semester by Thursday. This is omething I want to do so badly.. I have my reservations, but I know I want to do this. Nobody in my family supports my wanting to go. My mom said to me that she's not gonna say that I can't go, but she's not even happy about it. She said to me in a mean and sarcastic voice, "Yea.. and maybe I'll visit you." That hurt me really bad. My mom and dad supported my sister when she went- what difference does it make that I want to go one semester before her?? I would never do this without my parents' support, and I can't do it without them. It's not fair! I'll feel so guilty if I accept, but I know I'll be so sad if I dont. I'm just so mad right now, I don't even know what to do. What the hell do I say? My mom is right, and I'm wrong. That's the way it works. The fact that this is something I *really* want to do, holds no bearing in this situation.

Tuesday, December 3, 2002 12:54 p.m.
I hate pop up ads! They make me want to rip my hair out. I got an IM from Tracie, and I'm so happy to hear from her. Woo.

Tuesday, December 3, 2002 12:54 p.m.
I hate pop up ads! They make me want to rip my hair out. I got an IM from Tracie, and I'm so happy to hear from her. Woo.

Tuesday, December 3, 2002 11:04 a.m.
I got a 98% on my math test. Woohooo. 98.3333 actually, so my test average is above a 99. That's damn hot.

Tuesday, December 3, 2002 12:26 a.m.
I'm so tired. Got back to Ramapo after playing volleyball by 1045. Got a parking pass so I wouldn't have to lug all my stuff up the giant hill to my dorm. I made four trips up the stairs, and four trips down just to get all my stuff back in the room. Then I had to go park my car down in the lot all the way down the hill and walk back up that beast. Keep in mind, I got a crappy crappy parking spot. Damn it! Then I had to unpack all my stuff which took me over AN HOUR. God.. then I had to shower, and now I'm going to sleep. PHEW.

Monday, December 2, 2002 05:48 p.m.
Oooh today. Today was a freaking shopping frenzy. I bought so much crap and spent far too much money. But it's all worth it. Here's what I got:
DVD's: Wayne's World I and II, The Patriot, Revenge of the Nerds I and II, and Son in Law
Other stuff: Digital Camera (a good one, too), a gift basket for Jen, hand picked random stuff by me, for Christmas, Tuugii's birthday gift (her b-day is in December), a new gift for my Dad for Hannukkah (since my Homer beer can opener thing didn't work) so I got him these coasters and when you put a drink down on them they say, "Mmmmm... beeeeeeeeeeeeer." Did I buy anything else? I don't know... if something comes to mind, I'll give an update, because this is all very important stuff, you know. Volleyball tonight. Then back to school. I can't wait to get back.

Sunday, December 1, 2002 06:29 p.m.
Also (I forgot). I worked more on learning how to drive the manual car- I still suck on hills, but I'm getting better. I got The Sound of Music on DVD, a calling card, and from the Feinmans a perty hat and scarf. Black. YESSSSS. Everyone knows how much I love black. It's a beautiful thing. By the time the second semester comes, I'll be drivin' my manual Civic. Scary, eh?

Sunday, December 1, 2002 06:27 p.m.
Jaime and her family are gone. Noooooooooooo. I miss people. This is no good. But, she is transferring after the end of the year, and she's thinking of going to SUNY Binghamton. Jen goes there. My parents are really pressuring me to apply there also for next year. I dunno what to doooo.

Sunday, December 1, 2002 01:15 p.m.
It's an all Chevy Chase day on Comedy Central. God bless this.

Sunday, December 1, 2002 08:38 a.m.
Gonna see Jaime and her family today. I can't wait for that. I haven't seen Jaime since the night before she left for Tulane back in mid August. This will be great. Last night I opened some more presents, and I got two DVD's: History of the World and UHF. Fun stuff- I know there's two more in my pile of presents, so I can't wait to see what else I got, along with a few other things- I have no idea what they are. Woo!

Saturday, November 30, 2002 06:46 p.m.
I visited my Jen 'cause she's leaving tomorrow to go back to school. I love my Jen. I'm gon' miss her. The good news is, I'll see her in about two and a half weeks for winter break. Yesss.

Saturday, November 30, 2002 11:28 a.m.
Going shoppin' with the cousins! Woohoooo. Last night, I got $50 and a talking hamster from my cousins and my Aunt Carol, $20 from my Grammy, and a Vegetarian food book from my parents. And I still have more presents comin'. Woohooo. Also, my cousin Andrew gave me Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets that I can watch on my computer (only). Yeaa for bootleg!

Friday, November 29, 2002 12:16 p.m.
I got sucked into raking. My conscience kicked in, so I got off my lazy ass fifteen minutes after I wrote the previous entry, put on a sweatshirt, some gloves, and a hat, and started rakin'. I hate this time of year.

Friday, November 29, 2002 09:55 a.m.
I don't want to rake leaves. Maybe I should run back into bed and pretend I'm still sleeping. That's so evil, but leaves are... not fun.

Friday, November 29, 2002 03:01 a.m.
After coming home from a yummy meal (no turkey for me), the Mom, Dad, and I watched National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (it's a tradition). I love that movie with a passion. Anyways, so I was dozing at the end of the movie, and at 1030 I went upstairs to sleep. Now I'm up and can't fall asleep, and nobody is online to talk to. Blah. Maybe I'll be forced to read... oy.

Thursday, November 28, 2002 02:15 p.m.
I'm getting so much better at driving MY manual Civic. I drove it home from dropping Tuugii off back at school. Yeaa!

Thursday, November 28, 2002 12:08 p.m.
Happy Turkey Day. Woo!

Wednesday, November 27, 2002 09:03 p.m.
Just came back from the Mongolian bbq restuarant type place. I'm soooooooooooooooo full. It was absolutely scrumptious and fantastic. Tonight- DVD's. Today was awesome and so satisfying and perfect. I went to the high school and saw all of my favorite teachers: Mrs. Granito, Shenu, Ms. Colletti, Dr. Trause, Lingrom, Mrs. Doganieri, Ms. Patton, and Mr. Brown! I was sososososososo happy. I also saw a whole bunch of people with whom I graduated- Lisa D., Chris, Bill, Ashley, Bridgette, and most importantly I saw my Emmers and my Jen. They all met Tuugii and that made me happy. Jen came over to my house to show us pictures and stuff from college (Hiii Scotttttt!) and we hung out and I really realized how much I miss my Jen. So much. Too much in fact. I luff her! Unfortunately she had to leave around 4-ish. Tonight, my Mom, Dad, Tuugii, and I went to the Mongolian BBQ in Milburn. Yummy yummy- did that for Tuugii. She really enjoyed it, so that made us all really happy. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, so I wish the few who read a Happy Thanksgiving in advance. Yeaa.

Wednesday, November 27, 2002 11:05 a.m.
Tuugii is with me at my hooooome. It's too bad she won't be staying for the actual Thanksgiving ::hint hint poke poke nudge nudge:: but I'm happy nevertheless. Going to the high school today to see a teacher or two, and also to see about how I can get my AP Bio credits transferred to college so I don't have to take science- it fills Gen Ed, so I want to get this *done*. Later.

Tuesday, November 26, 2002 04:15 p.m.
OH MY GOD! I LOVE MY JEN! Jen, I love yoooooooou! I just got a Thanksgiving/Hanukkah care package from her. I love this girl. Guess what I got! I got an absolutely adorable Winnie the Pooh towel, Harry Potter band aids, Eclipse gum (which she owes me heheheh), toothbrust covers, a hot ass bumper sticker, and caaaaaandy. Most importantly, she included pictures from my visit with her. I swear, when my scanner is hooked up, I'll pop em up. Oh I love Jen.

Tuesday, November 26, 2002 01:08 p.m.
One more class! Aaaaaaaaaaaah. May it fly by swiftly. Along with the four hours in between that class and my departure.

Tuesday, November 26, 2002 10:51 a.m.
Two more classes and a few hours and I'm home free! I have everything packed and ready to go. Woohooooooo.

Tuesday, November 26, 2002 09:07 a.m.
I got to leave my math class because I finished the test way early. That gives me an extra forty minutes to do *nothing* until English. Blah, English.

Tuesday, November 26, 2002 12:07 a.m.
Added more cam pics 'cause I was BORED.

Monday, November 25, 2002 06:03 p.m.
Three more classes until I'm home free. Tomorrow. Thank goodness. Tuugii is coming back with me too, until Thursday. Hardcore!

Monday, November 25, 2002 03:59 p.m.
Jared got into his number one choice, Juniata... early decision! Congrats and a fat hug for Jared. Aaaah!

Monday, November 25, 2002 09:53 a.m.
Tomorrow...... three classes, hang out with Tracie until seven or so and then go home for Thanksgiving. Beautiful stuff I tell you.

Sunday, November 24, 2002 11:22 p.m.
Dan came over and we watched Ghostbusters I and II. Yeaaa.

Sunday, November 24, 2002 02:33 p.m.
Tracie is gonna come over and chillax with me (woohoo). So bored all today. But it's okay, because Harry Potter is on HBO- it doesn't get much better than that. Especially because it's the part where Harry is learning about Quidditch and Oliver Wood is teaching it to him. Mmm. Oliver. I want one!

Sunday, November 24, 2002 12:00 p.m.
Emma... there is nothing else to say but I love Emma:

DisturbTheEmpty: my lip ring hurts
Boothlisa: why is that???
DisturbTheEmpty: i dunno must be those herpes
Boothlisa: oh shit emma
Boothlisa: i thought that was cured
DisturbTheEmpty: lol
Boothlisa: dont even go near my kids
Boothlisa: sick bastard
DisturbTheEmpty: cured? if getting worse and taking over my face is cured, then dammit, im cured


God bless this girl. Hahaha.

Sunday, November 24, 2002 12:00 a.m.
The girls won the state championships! Holy crap.. it was so awesome. So good. I'm beyond happy for them and so incredibly proud. Also, I went shopping with Emma to buy gifts for all my friends and family, and I finished it all today. I only spent 78 bucks for ten people. Hardcooore.

Saturday, November 23, 2002 03:35 p.m.
Emma is coming with me to the volleyball game tonight!!! Yesssss. I finished all of my holiday shopping today, and I spent well under 100 bucks. Can't beat that.

Saturday, November 23, 2002 09:57 a.m.
Last night was yaay! Went over to Brittanie and Erin's room and watched Spiderman with them, along with Erin's friend (Nicole I think) who was visiting from RI. I like hangin' out with 'em. Yay. Shower. Get dressed. Go home. It's a damn good plan.

Saturday, November 23, 2002 12:35 a.m.
I'm so damn good- I finished everything I wanted to. Relaxing time.

Saturday, November 23, 2002 12:03 a.m.
Tonight has been both fun *and* productive. You really can't beat that. First the work part: I finished rewriting my three papers for English that are due on December 13th, I finished my bullfighting essay for that class also, I've already completed my International Studies GI article that had to be five pages long, and I'm planning to finish my history book report (final one for the semester) by tomorrow. That will only leave me with my Thanksgiving paper for my first year seminar (that will be a breeze) and my self evaluation for English (which will also be simple). So happy. The fun part!!! Went to J. Lee's with Tuugii- FASA had a whole little deal set up there called "Halo Halo". It's some type of Phillippino dessert of crushed ice and fruit. Yum yums. Tuugi and I went there and met up with Tracie. I played her in pool and that was awesome (I played really well woo!), played Mecca in ping pong (beat him), and then played Tracie in chess, and she kicked my ass. I've forgotten how to play that game. Tomorrow (well technically today) I'm going home for the day and going shopping with Emma in the mornin', and going to see the state championship finals at 630 for volleyball. Can't wait! I'm DONE!

Friday, November 22, 2002 11:03 a.m.
Last night I couldn't fall asleep because I was so excited about Disney. Today, I just can't stop smiling. Grrr... it's a good thing though. I just don't know if my parents are gonna let me go for the Spring semester- they say they think it's too early for me to go... and I do agree... but what an opportunity! I'm going to have to have a big talk with 'em. The problem is, I don't want to leave Tuugii. If I do go, I'm gonna miss her 2375023750239 that much. I've said it before, I lucked out so bad when I got her as a roomie. I love her to death. I'd be leaving her and all of my friends. The only person I know in Disney is my sister... but I love her to death and it would be amazing to work with her. Gah! I don't know what to do.

Thursday, November 21, 2002 11:28 p.m.
Guess who... WAS ACCEPTED INTO THE DISNEY COLLEGE PROGRAM? I was! I was! HOLY CRAP! You don't know how excited I am. I am far too happy right now for words.

Thursday, November 21, 2002 08:46 p.m.
Harry Potter was so damned good. I loved it. With a passion. Oh dear sweet lord.

Thursday, November 21, 2002 11:08 a.m.
I love Tuugii. At the Birch Tree: "God damn it, give me a cookiiiiieeee!!" Ehehe. I love her to death.

Thursday, November 21, 2002 09:51 a.m.
I wanted to sleep loooooonger. Bah. I feel skank, need to shower... too lazy to move.

Wednesday, November 20, 2002 11:34 p.m.
Aaah tonight was fun fun. Tuugii and I went to Brittanie and Erin's room to watch Coyote Ugly with Rachel, Rebekkah, and two other girls who came in later- Savannah and Megan (can't spell names... oy). Anyhoo, they're crazy- but in the good and hilarious way. Had a nice time actually just hanging out in a group for once. Yeaa for that. Tonight... try and do a bit of reading I guess. Tomorrow... before Harry Potter... work on doing those two analyses for the GI articles in my Int'l Studies class- these are due the last day of class, but if I get them done now, it's one less thing to worry about later. Those are the plans as of now.

Wednesday, November 20, 2002 06:02 p.m.
Aaaah- between now and Wednesday I'm only going to have two days worth of classes. So beautiful. I have off tomorrow (HARRY POTTER + SHOPPING= HEAVEN), my three classes on Friday (math blah, english bleh, FYS not bad), weekend off and Richard may come to visit, plus I'm going home to see the girls play in the state chamionship if they make it for v-ball, and see my Digise to help him build a website), Monday off, then those same three classes on Tuesday and then Thanksgiving break. If that's not a run on sentence, then I don't know what the hell is.

Wednesday, November 20, 2002 01:25 p.m.
Yummy tofu and zucchini at lunch today. I couldn't stop eating that. Well that's not true... but it was so yummy! Now it's time to waste time until my next class at 330. Int'l Studies. Blech.

Wednesday, November 20, 2002 07:26 a.m.
Don't want to go to class so damned early. BAH.

Tuesday, November 19, 2002 11:21 p.m.
Change of plans... movie on Thursday instead.

Tuesday, November 19, 2002 10:48 p.m.
Today.... today today... I got some pamphlets from Josh about Vegans and Vegetarianism. I'm really considering going veg- the way the animals are treated is disgusting. I actually cried when I read the pamphlet. I do love meat, but... I dunno. I'll do my best. Got together with the guy from my FYS and watched National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.... oh so good. Woo. And... tomorrow Tuugii and I go to see Harry Potter. Hell yes.

Tuesday, November 19, 2002 06:04 p.m.
Aaah fun shit this afternoon.

Tuesday, November 19, 2002 01:30 p.m.
Aahahaha. I love Jen. She IM'd me from Scott's screen name.. when I got back from class, it said I had 32 messages. Yeaa for Jen:

God bless my Jen.

Tuesday, November 19, 2002 10:26 a.m.
Last night, Josh (from my English class) popped by. I said I'd help him with his paper- it needed a bit of editing. So I did my thing, and it sounds cheesy, but it felt good to help out. I love this stuff. Yeaa. Off to do homework.

Monday, November 18, 2002 03:10 p.m.
Tuugii and I are going to see Harry Potter come this Wednesday at 1120 at the Palisades Center! Yessssss.

Monday, November 18, 2002 11:29 a.m.
Just go.

Monday, November 18, 2002 10:54 a.m.
Scrumptious sleep. I never wake up this late anymore. Yeaaaa. I dunno what to do today. I don't really have much I can do. Did homework yesterday. Eep.

Monday, November 18, 2002 12:28 a.m.
Hung out with Lee again today. He called me at 330 and we ended up going to the city about 45 mintues later. Went to this record store and he got sooooooo much vinyl. Oy. 'Twas mind boggling. We then went to this yummy food place called "Galaxy". Yummy, spicy type food. So good. I got dumplings and he got a turkey burger. Num nums. We then went back to his place and watched "TV Funhouse", Batman Returns, and a few other things. I had a really nice night with him. Just got back to see my Tuugii. Yeaaa.

Sunday, November 17, 2002 11:15 a.m.
Tracie came over with Resident Evil. It was scaaary. Yeaa for zombies? Just woke up a few minutes ago- that was some damn satisfying sleep. Ten hours- I'm so refreshed, yet so tired. Oy. I think food beckons me. Yes. Yes it does.

Saturday, November 16, 2002 09:43 p.m.
There are but a few words to describe the trip to NYC with Tuugii and Tracie: fun, hella wet, and freaking cold. We took the shuttle in from Ramapo- gave Todd a ring to see if he was in, but nobody picked up. Blech. So the three of us went to the Statue of Liberty via the #1 subway and then the ferry. Yet, instead of going downtown like we were supposed tod, we got onto the uptown subway. We only realized this after we saw the numbers of the stations going up. That was quite hilarious indeed (guess you had to be there). Everything (except for the fact that it was cold and rainy as all hell) went smoothly from there. Saw the statue, took lots of pictures, went out to eat sushi for dinner, did a little shopping, and had a good time. In a bit, Tracie will be poppin' over to our room with a DVD- Resident Evil I believe. Never seen it, so it will be cool. That's all for now.

Saturday, November 16, 2002 10:51 a.m.
Aaaah yesterday was so nice. After my classes, Tracie came home with me to see my high school v-ball team play in a state game. We wrecked the other team. She came back to my house and we had some "experiment" chicken by my mom. I'm thinking of going vegetarian... I just love sloppy joe's and filet mignon too much. But I'll see what I can do. That's thanks to Josh- cool kid from my English class. He sat with me at lunch and we just talked- had a nice time. Anyhoo, so Tracie and I drove back here (no traffic.. yeaaaaa) and then I ended up going out with Lee. We rented Blade II, John Carpenter's Vampires (which sucked and we didn't even finish ten minutes of it), and Star Wars, Episode II. By the time we watched the Star Wars movie, I was about to fall asleep... so about 30 minutes in I had to go. I just had a really nice night with him. His birthday is today- so I actually stayed with him until his birthday.... left there at 230 ish. Today I'm going to the city with Tuugii and Tracie, and Todd may meet us there. We shall see what happens. I'll tell more about it *after* the trip.

Friday, November 15, 2002 09:55 a.m.
The internet is sucking so badly here- but I put together my schedule (thanks mostly to my Mom) and it didn't work out *too* badly. Not exactly what I would have hoped for, but hey. Can't always get what you want.

Thursday, November 14, 2002 07:03 p.m.
Registering for classes may or may not be hectic depending on when my Mommy calls me back.

Thursday, November 14, 2002 09:13 a.m.
My mom is coming up here today to help me sort out my disgusting schedule situation. I went to check the status of my classes I'm hoping to take, and most of them are closed. Closed closed. I was freaking out yesterday. That's no good. Now what to do?!

Wednesday, November 13, 2002 10:49 p.m.
I went out to late night with Tracie and a few of her friends (including Tom from my first year seminar). Yeaa! I got out. You should be proud. Gotta love Tracie- she's the sweetest. We're going to the city together (possibly with Tuugii too) this Saturday afternoon-night, then we may just have a lil movie night! Yessssss. And God bless Tom, because he got my AIM working again. A big thanks to him. And the goldfish, Norbert, lives on!

Wednesday, November 13, 2002 05:56 p.m.
People just came around giving goldfish out to all the residents. Wanna see my new lil' cutie patootie goldfish?! I hope I don't kill it. Live little one!

Wednesday, November 13, 2002 05:36 p.m.
I keep trying to get onto AIM and it's *still* not working. Plus, other people in my class that I just came back from said they were having trouble signing on, and they were getting kicked off if they even did sign on. What the hell? Is it just our campus, or is everybody having problems?

Wednesday, November 13, 2002 02:49 p.m.
AIM is behaving very poorly. It's been letting me on only when it feels like it since last night. I don't get it.

Wednesday, November 13, 2002 10:51 a.m.
For the first time since about 8 PM yesterday, I have been able to get onto AIM- and nobody is there. Meh.

Wednesday, November 13, 2002 12:03 a.m.
I wish it were 80 degrees and sunny tomorrow. That would be beautiful. Light breeze. But no- 48 and nasty rain. Blech. Screw the fall/winter!

Tuesday, November 12, 2002 11:40 p.m.
My freaking AIM service won't let me on. GAAAAH. Want to get on. I've been trying for about an hour now, and it's being so stupid. Tonight was both really good, and not happy too. I feel bad (I won't go into detail), but I'm happy too. It makes no sense, I'm sorry.

Tuesday, November 12, 2002 03:05 p.m.
Forest Gump is on. I love this movie. Just got back from my First Year Seminar, although it was a presentation about Personality Types and what that has to do with a major. It wasn't as bad as some of the rest of the presentations, so I'm not in such a foul mood. Tonight- Trading Spaces, then God knows what. I'm tiiiired.

Tuesday, November 12, 2002 10:14 a.m.
Even though it's kind of dark and rainy and scary, it's still pretty warm- yeaa. That means I got to wear my perty perty skirt today. Yeaa!

Monday, November 11, 2002 11:51 p.m.
I'm back at school! Yeaa. I get to see my Tuugii. I got to play v-ball tonight and it was mucho fun.

Monday, November 11, 2002 05:34 p.m.
I got my pictures developed at CVS- none of the ones I took when I was at SUNY Binghamton, visiting Jen came out, except for the one I took outside. My stupid flash was broken. GAH.

Monday, November 11, 2002 09:52 a.m.
Ahaahaha. I love Jen like no other:

Auto response from JeeWiz518: There once was a girl named lisa
She came to visit me and now I mees-ha
She ate a lot of smarties
and we once mentioned the name of marty
and i predict today she will eat some pizza:-)
I miss you too lisa!

Ooooh lordy. That was something to wake up to. So I called Jen twice after we left (am I a stalker here or what?) and I miss my Jenny. Blech. But I talked to her and yeaaa 'cause that made me happy, and to top it all off, my Jaime face called me too! We ended up talking for about half an hour and all, and I'm gonna get to see both her and Jen on the Turkey Day vacation. I'm looking forward to that like nothing else. *Plus* I'm hoping Tuugii will be coming home with me for this vacation and she can meet my friends and actually not be alone on the campus with only the other international students. If she wants to come, that is. Yesterday was just the best.... despite my disgusting, snotty cold. Eww, boogers.

Sunday, November 10, 2002 12:07 p.m.
I'm at Jen's dorm right now. I have had the best night. I'm soooo glad that I came here to visit. I missed my Jen soooooooo sosososos much and I just got to see her for a whole day and stay with her, and eat food with her, and yeaaa. I met all of her floor friends and I love them, and her roomie Alice is a sweetheart. I learned how to play blackjack from Scott, Max and Jason are funny as hell. Such a good time. I don't wan tto leaaave my Jenny. I luff her.

Saturday, November 9, 2002 07:07 a.m.
Heading out to Jen's! Gonna be a fun weekend.

Friday, November 8, 2002 10:20 p.m.
Oooooh!!!!!! CALDWELL BEAT LIVINGSTON. Hahahaahahah. Aaaah. Caldwell won the counties. I'm sosososos happy right now. I'm so proud of the girls. I can't wait to read the article about them tomorrow in the papers. Went to the party at Lex and Leanne's house afterwards, and Kerry went too and it was really nice and I'm happy. Might not be too many updates this weekend (but I usually find my way to a computer because I'm a loser). Yesss. Off to see Jen tomorrow. YES.

Friday, November 8, 2002 01:34 p.m.
One more class and then I'm off! Woohoooo.

Friday, November 8, 2002 10:50 a.m.
Mmm... boy in math class... Mmmmm. Steven. Oh lord. Today, all Lisa and I did (I sit next to a girl, and obviously her name is Lisa, too!) was talk about the guy who sits next to me, Steven. Oooh lord, he is scrumptious. Lisa kept saying, "Come on, Lis. Give him your number. He keeps talkin' to you." I'm good at math in that class (well at least in comparison to everybody else) and Lisa said "You should be his tutor! Tutor him, damn it." Aaaah, and then when I brought up a point in class that I thought would simplify things for people, Steven says to me, "Holy crap, be my tutor." Lisa and I both cracked up... oy. Guess you had to be there... I'm done. Mmm.

Friday, November 8, 2002 07:29 a.m.
Don't feel so hot. But after my 315 class today, I go home- go to the county finals for volleyball so I can root the old team on, then tomorrow I go seen Jen. Yessss.

Thursday, November 7, 2002 08:32 p.m.
Hahaha. Jen made my day with this:
Auto response from JeeWiz518: Lisa's Inspiring Message Of The Day: Reading rots ur brain...go watch Pokemon (I luv that show!)

Thursday, November 7, 2002 07:19 p.m.
I went to the presentation at Bergen Community and I was also interviewed today. I think I did well at the interview, but I was interviewed with somebody else there too- I think the guy was more interested in what she had to say than me. I doubt I got it.

Thursday, November 7, 2002 09:14 a.m.
I go to that Disney meeting at Bergen Community today. I hope I don't get lost on the way over.

Wednesday, November 6, 2002 10:25 p.m.
Tonight was absolutely filled with people visiting- first off, Tracie knocked on the door at around 700, crying. She came in and we just talked for a while as she calmed down- I was happy when she smiled, finally. I feel bad for the drama that goes on in her suite. After Tracie left, I finished typing up my notes, blah blah... then Brittanie and one of her friends (I can never remember her name.. Jen or something??) came into our room and were there for ten minutes when that guy, Dez (whom I licked the whipped cream off of on Sunday as part of that I Bet You Will thing) came on over. For me, that's a lot of people at one time. Oy. Now I'm in peace. It's nice. And Jen called me tonight, and we talked and I love her to death. I get to go visit her on Saturday and I CAN'T WAIT!

Wednesday, November 6, 2002 05:19 p.m.
Yea, remember that Intro to Int'l Studies test I thought I bombed?? I got a 94. How crazy is that?? So that's a 96 for US History, 90 for English, and 94 for Int'l Studies. Eee!

Wednesday, November 6, 2002 10:57 a.m.
Oooh sleep was so good last night- fell asleep at around 1130 and woke up today at about 710. So nice. I love sleep.

Tuesday, November 5, 2002 09:47 p.m.
I love Spiderman. Such a good movie. Now it's time for the Real World- Tuugii and I have a tight TV schedule we must stick to.

Tuesday, November 5, 2002 01:09 p.m.
So I've gotten a 96 on my US History midterm, and I got a 90 on my English midterm (I argued my way up from an 85.. booya!) So now I am happy for the day. Yeaa! Tuugii and I are gonna watch SPiderman later on, because like I said before, my mom bought it for me on DVD. Yeaa! And volleyball was awesome last night. Good stuff. I spiked the crap out of the ball.

Tuesday, November 5, 2002 10:12 a.m.
I still didn't write my freaking Colum McCann essay- must... write... later today. But I don't want to!

Tuesday, November 5, 2002 12:10 a.m.
It feels good to be back at school. Put all my stuff away, and now I must be off to read for a paper. Blech. I'm too lazy to do the first draft, so I'll do that tomorrow after my classes.

Monday, November 4, 2002 07:09 p.m.
I'm gonna see Jen this coming Saturday! YEAAAAA! I cannot wait one bit. And I went out with my mommy all day- well at first we worked on my schedule for the second semester at Ramapo. Seems pretty cool, if I can get the classes at the times I want! It would actually be a rocking schedule. Then we went shopping at the Short Hills mall- she bought me a pair of winter boots which are gorgeous (I can actually wear them as nice boots if I wanted to), and I got Tuugii's birthday present/Christmas gift (I know it's early, but I saw it and I know she's gonna love it). And, to top it all off, my daddy is gonna come and play volleyball with me tonight. Yeaa. We also (being my mom and I) listened to Fiddler on the Roof and the Sound of Music soundtracks. God, I love the music from these two plays like no other. I'm gonna burn the CD's. They're so beautiful. That's it for now.

Monday, November 4, 2002 09:36 a.m.
Aaah... morning. Went to sleep nice and early at 1130... it was so beautiful. I talked to my little red-headed Digise- I'm gonna help him build a site for his band. Yeaa! But it was just cool to hear from him as it is. Hmm... this morning is big fat laundry day, and look to see what courses I'm going to take for the second semester, assuming I don't go to Disney. I highlighted a few that I want to take, and surpringly (at least for me), I found that I wanted to take ones all about the Holocaust. Must write an essay today... blech. But then, the ray of hope is volleyball tonight at the school. Woo!

Sunday, November 3, 2002 10:23 p.m.
I love my mommy. She's a dork. She made my favorite meal because she knew I was coming home tonight. She made sweet potato french fries (SO good), a scrumptious salad with sweet vadalia (Brianna.. heheheh) onion dressing, and my favorite part of the meal- the main course- sloppy Joe's! Oh lord, how I love that so. My cousin Marty was also here for dinner, so that was very cool. Gotta love him. My mom calls Marty and I her "kids". Keep in mind I think he's older than my mom, but it just stems from the whole ordeal when he was going through his divorce and lived with us for a month or so. Aaah.. good times tonight. We even watched Spiderman which my mom bought for me at Shop Rite- she knew I wanted it badly, so she got it on DVD! Woohooo. Oh yea, and I got a 96 on my US History midterm!!!!! Aaaaaaaaah!!!!!

Sunday, November 3, 2002 04:00 p.m.
So I did the I bet you will Ramapo style thing (not REALLY MTV, but a Ramapo deal). Funny as all hell. I made twenty bucks today. I made my first ten by licking a can of whipcream and some hot fudge off a guy's stomach, and I earned my second ten by just lending my short skirt and a sexy top for a guy to go prancing around in. Not bad, eh? James drank six raw eggs, then a bottle of ketchup, and I think he did one other stunt. One guy had to eat one lemon and take a shot of hot sauce, and for every one he did he got five bucks. One guy shaved his head, a girl tried to fit as many hardboiled eggs in her mouth as she could, etc etc. It was far too much fun.

Sunday, November 3, 2002 01:58 p.m.
Tuugii and I didn't know if we should laugh, cry, or go screaming after this one. I think we did a bit of them all. Go here. Give it a minute or two. Just wait.

Sunday, November 3, 2002 09:28 a.m.
Saw Jackass last night with Lee... oh my sweet Jesus. That movie made me cringe and almost pee my pants at the same time. So good. Oh so good. I am thoroughly convinced that these guys are legally insane.

Saturday, November 2, 2002 09:29 p.m.
I had an awesome day in the city with Todd. Mainly, it consisted of hanging out in his fantastic dorm room, but we .watched. Mallrats and Clerks- I was just really happy to see him, and I had an awesome time. Dan, his roomie, walked in at an unfortunate time... oy vey, that was probably the funniest thing I've seen in a while.

Saturday, November 2, 2002 10:54 a.m.
Going to visit Todd in the city today! Taking the shuttle ('cause it's free...woohooo), so I'll have from about 130 until 730 or 800 to chillax with him- I haven't seen him since the day before he left for NYU- so this will be cool.

Saturday, November 2, 2002 12:43 a.m.
So Casino Night was actually really cool. We got chips and we could play blackjack and other casino games. There was a lounge show thing, dancing on the first floor, and... wait that's it. But saw some cool people there- saw Tracie and some others. I had fun! They need to do more stuff like this much more often.

Friday, November 1, 2002 12:42 p.m.
Nooooooooo more midterms! Ahahahahaahha! I'm so done with them. Oh so happy. Such a relief.

Friday, November 1, 2002 11:05 a.m.
Must leave in ten minutes. I'll be taking my final midterm (thank goodness). It's for English about "This Side of Brightness". Hopefully I'll do well. After this, I'm home free (except that I have my first year seminar, but that doesn't count).

Friday, November 1, 2002 07:33 a.m.
Yay for good sleep!

Thursday, October 31, 2002 06:39 p.m.
Halloweens at Ramapo suck.

Thursday, October 31, 2002 04:58 p.m.
Hahahahaahaha. Oy vey. I found this one... yikes.

Thursday, October 31, 2002 04:05 p.m.
Tuugii and I took a whole crap load of campictures. Didn't they come out all nifty and stuff?! Yeaaaaa.

Thursday, October 31, 2002 02:04 p.m.
I <3 Jen. We get to talk through Yahoo and see each other and make stupid faces. Yeaaa!

Thursday, October 31, 2002 11:20 a.m.
I am dressing up as a cat for Halloween! I also added these pictures to the webcam section.

Thursday, October 31, 2002 09:00 a.m.
Why does Tuugii's family have to call at 7:45 in the morning? Why is it that it's my day off, I'm tired as hell, and I can't sleep? Gaaah- ever since that God damned phone call, I can't sleep deeply enough to not wake up. GAAAAAAAAAH!

Wednesday, October 30, 2002 07:50 p.m.
PS. I added a new floorplan. It's practically my dream home. It's amazing, if I do say so myself. At least for me. Hush.

Wednesday, October 30, 2002 07:34 p.m.
Woohooo! Gonna finish up Lord of the Rings tonight. Tomorrow- English homework so I don't have to do it this weekend. That, and do a bit of reading for my book report.

Wednesday, October 30, 2002 04:28 p.m.
Hahahaha. Holy crap. I don't know if I should laugh or cry after that one. I knew some of that stuff cold... other stuff, I knew but the question confused me in the way she worded it. I hope I didn't fail! Oh well, done and gone.

Wednesday, October 30, 2002 03:01 p.m.
Must leave for my next midterm in about fifteen minutes. I'm scurred. But it will be okay. I just got an e-mail back from my history teacher and said he glanced at my essay from the midterm- he said that it was extremely creative and that he had never actually had a student make the essay into editorial/newspaper form. So hopefully I'll get some brownie points there. I hope the content lives up to the creative side of it. Tomorrow I get to relax, because I already did my studying for English midterm which is Friday (we're going to be allowed to use our journals, so I took a whole bunch of notes as journal entries- so I killed two birds with one stone.. woo). That's it.

Wednesday, October 30, 2002 10:18 a.m.
So I just took my US History midterm and I think I did sosososo well. After I finished my test, I handed it in to him- he corrected the multiple choice/true and false questions. I believe there were 25. I only got one wrong- so for the first part I got a 48/50. My essay counts for 50 points also. I chose to do the one about slavery before 1815, where I wrote an editorial in the "Ramapo Gazette" about slavery from a southern perspective. I think he'll appreciate what I wrote- I obviously put all the facts I knew in, but in a comedic type of way. It's sarcastic, and pokes fun at everybody. Yeaa! I really hope I do well on that part. If I get a 42 at least on that, that would give me a 90 on my midterm. Anything above a 90 (including 90) is sooooooo good. At 330 I have to go to my next midterm for International Studies- quite frankly I'm worried about this one. I studied my butt off, but I guess we'll just have to see how I do.

Tuesday, October 29, 2002 09:22 p.m.
I saw my Daddy! He picked me up and showed me how to get to Bergen Community College so that I can get there without a problem next Thursday for the Disney College Program presentation. I hope I get in. So badly. I think it may be something that I'll really love. I'll be with my sister, and that is awesome. I love my sis so much. Then I went to my Dad's class (for his new job) and I studied some more for my midterms tomorrow. Then we went to a diner where I grabbed some dinner, and he had strawbery cheese cake. He tested me in both of my subjects for history and I think I'll do alright (I guess). We shall see. I won't get my hopes up.

Tuesday, October 29, 2002 05:04 p.m.
I'm gonna see my daddy tonight! Yeaaaa.

Tuesday, October 29, 2002 03:36 p.m.
Oooh thank goodness for my history teacher. I bothered him in 2350327532 e-mails with questions about the midterm- he's hilarious. Yet informative. Yeaa!

Tuesday, October 29, 2002 09:57 a.m.
I got a 100% on my math test! I think it counts for 15% of our final grade. How hot is that? Yeaaa.

Monday, October 28, 2002 11:12 p.m.
So Tuugii and I just watched Silence of the Lambs. Towards the end, when Starling becomes a real agent, there is a big cake that is being served at the after party. The second that Tuugii sees it, she goes, "Mmm... Caaaaaaake." I couldn't help but crack up. Gotta love this girl. Off to study and sleep soon.

Monday, October 28, 2002 06:59 p.m.
After studying for most of the day- Tuugii and I are gonna' watch Silence of the Lambs and then go to our floor meeting at 10:30. Wonder what it's about!

Monday, October 28, 2002 03:19 p.m.
I'm sick of reading about history! GAH. No more history books. After Wednesday, though, I'll be able to take a one week break from this stuff (I hope). Tonight I must read re-read all my history notes. Today and tomorrow. Will not fail! Damn it.

Monday, October 28, 2002 10:13 a.m.
Ooooh fell asleep at 1130 last night- woke up at 930 this morning. Needed that so much. Tuugii helped me study last night for my International Studies class, and I think I'm gonna be okay on that one. Today- must read "The Political Depravity of the Founding Fathers". Boring as hell, but hey- must be done. At least read halfway through.

Sunday, October 27, 2002 05:31 p.m.
Emma came to my schooool. She picked me up and saw my dorm room. She's the first friend of mine to come and see the room. I love my Emmers. We went to get a cd player installed in her car- we bought the CD thing and the parts, but they were so backed up at Best Buy for installation, that she had to make an appointment for tomorrow at 500. But we went to Blimpies (as per usual) and that was delicious. I just got back. So happy. We went to Blockbuster to buy DVD's (an unhealthy addiction)- I got The Wedding Singer and Silence of the Lambs. Love both very dearly.

Sunday, October 27, 2002 01:10 p.m.
Emma is coming to visit! I'm sosososososoososo happy. Yeaa!

Sunday, October 27, 2002 10:01 a.m.
This morning will be devoted to reading half of my book that is due on the 13th (I believe). Studied already for my tests this morning/last night and I think I'm doing alright so far! I'm remembering a lot more than I thought I would. Now... relaxing time before I get back to reading my boring book. Woo!

Saturday, October 26, 2002 11:31 p.m.
And layout 56... is up!

Saturday, October 26, 2002 11:04 p.m.
Heheheheehe. So good.

Saturday, October 26, 2002 08:00 p.m.
This is *not* fair. Rocky Horror Picture Show, Blade, and Indiana Jones are all on simultaneously. Grrrr. And I'm talking to Todd, and I'm happy.

Saturday, October 26, 2002 07:40 p.m.
Oatmeal. Cinnamon. Sugar. There is nothing better.

Saturday, October 26, 2002 11:52 a.m.
Hahahaha. Holy crap. I love Emma. She finds the best stuff. Last night was awesome. After I went to the Hillel Shabbat dinner downstairs in our lounge, I called Lee back. I ended up driving over to his apartment (and I didn't get lost... woo!). I got there at about 830 or so, and I didn't get back to my dorm room until about 345 AM. He was just a cool kid to hang out with. I hope we do that again. We watched X-Men (mmm... love that movie), and Monty Python's Flying Circus. It's not that we watched the movies the whole time or anything (don't go gettin' the wrong idea now), but we talked and kind of goofed off which was cool. I'd like to see him again very much. Yeep. That's it for now!

Friday, October 25, 2002 05:35 p.m.
I may be going on a date with the guy Lee tonight! Rock, eh? I've been studying in between classes and all last night, and I've been re-reading my notes from my history classes- want... break. Yeaa.

Friday, October 25, 2002 04:56 p.m.
DisturbTheEmpty: charriots of fire..thats what i was missing
DisturbTheEmpty: i hate that movie though
DisturbTheEmpty: it came with the player
Boothlisa: ive never ... whats it about
DisturbTheEmpty: its from the 80s..about a runner that wouldnt run in the olympics because it was on a sunday or something
DisturbTheEmpty: something dumb and uninteresting like that
Boothlisa: hahahah

God bless Emma.

Friday, October 25, 2002 10:54 a.m.
Hey guess what! Somebody freaking hacked into the geekstar blog. I can't log in. Stupid sons of bitches. I HATE THESE PEOPLE!

Friday, October 25, 2002 10:37 a.m.
Ooooh... slept so nicely last night. Tuugii and I went to bed early at about 12:30 and it was sosoosos nice. Math this morning- I received my take home test back, graded. I got a 5/4!! Woohoooo. Thank goodness. Tuesday I find out how well (or poorly) I did on my in class test- I think I did well, like I've said before. Off to English in about 35 minutes. Blech. That class gets worse and worse every time I go to it. The good thing is, I've finished all my homework through next week for both Math and English, so I will be able to study for my midterms. What does this mean? No homework through next Friday, just studying! Yeaaa.

Thursday, October 24, 2002 08:47 p.m.
Alright- so let me tell you about last night's "adventure". Let it be known right now, that this will be a looooooong entry. Like none ever before. Here we go. I was going to meet Omer in the city at around 8:00 to go to see a comedy show at the Comedy Cellar and out for dinner. I was supposed to catch a 7:07 PM bus from a bus station that was supposed to be only three miles from my college. I printed out directions from mapquest.com. They sucked. I left 45... yes 45... minutes early to get to the bus station, just in case I got lost because of the stupid directions. Before I got out on the road in my car, I asked a campus security guard if he knew if the directions I printed out should take me to the station. He said he knew a better way to get there, so I listened to what he had to say, but followed the other directions. The mapquest ones led me out to Route 17 where I wasn't supposed to be. So I turned back to the area that I knew, pulled into a gas station, and asked a gas attendant where to go. I wrote down his directions, followed them exactly, and ended up asking another gas station attendant where to go. He told me I was incredibly close to the bus station. I wrote down his directions, and ended up going back onto Route 17 heading towards Albany. I wound up driving about twenty minutes into New York. By this time it was about five minutes to 7:00. I had twelve minutes to find the bus station. I followed the directions that another gas attendant gave me all the way back to the area of my college- the guy said that station was around the Sheraton Hotel- I found the hotel, and there was no bus station. I went to another gas station, and the attendant told me that all I had to do was go down Route 202 and make a right at the end and it would be there. I didn't see it. I went further down the road to another gas attendant, and he told me exactly where it was. I had passed the thing about three times in my entire trip. Why? Because there was no sign for the station, no buses there, and everything was dark. I pulled into the parking lot, and by that time it was 7:25. The bus, if there was one, was long gone. I went to the office to go see if I could buy a ticket there. The office is closed of course. I tried to call Omer to tell him not to meet me at Port Authority yet, because I wasn't gonna be there at 8:00. I got his number from my cell phone book, called it, and it was the wrong number. I had put his number incorrectly into my phone book. I tried to call Tuugii in the dorm to ask her what his number was (I had it written somewhere else), but she wasn't in. I had to drive back to campus, get a parking permit type thing for 20 minutes up near my dorm room, and run in to see if Omer was online, or see if I could reach him by the phone. I get up to my dorm with my parking pass, but all the 20 minute spots are taken. I have to park in a handicap parking space (that's so evil to do). I'm running between my room and the car to make sure I'm not getting a ticket. I'm freaking out at this point. I finally get in touch with Omer over the phone and tell him my situation. He has to tell me to calm down 'cause I'm acting like a spazz at this point (more-sothan usual). I'm going to have to catch the next bus from the station (which I can get to with such ease now in three minutes) which leaves at 8:07. I get to the station early, at around 7:55. I see a bus pull up to the side of the street I'm standing on. I pop in and ask if this one goes to NYC Port Authority. He says it does not, but the one coming from the other direction is. The NYC bus looks like it's about to pass me from the other direction- the bus driver on the wrong bus is kind enough to start honking his horn at the other bus as I flail my arms like a madwoman to get his attention. I run across scary traffic to get to the other side where I pay a ridiculous fee of about $9 for a ticket. The trip into the city goes just fine, and Omer meets me at the gate where my bus arrives. Omer and I take the subways all over- we grab some oh so delicious Indian food. I *love* Indian food like you don't know. He knew exactly what type of food to order and it was just scrumptious. We ordered tomato rice, these spinach... things, and dosas. Yum yum yum. We were the last people in the restaurant as it was closing, and they were practically pushing us out the door. We just talked all throughout our eating (not with our mouths full, we're not that gross) and it was just really nice to have a good talk with somebody who thinks like you do. We then decide not to go to the Comedy Cellar because it is too late at this point and we're both pretty tired. We took the subway and thought we might rent a movie at a place near his dorm. We find a place, he fills out an application for membership, and Fight Club is on the TV. I can’t keep my eyes off the movie. Mmmm… Fight Club. Anyways, Omer suggested a Bruce Lee Kung Fu type movie, but all the ones that were there were too long for me to catch the bus home. I wasn’t feeling so hot the entire night. I tried not to let it get to me, but the disgusting feeling of sickness started to act up at around 11. We ended up not renting a movie or anything, but we just walked to his dorm. Let me tell you- this boy is lucky as anything. His dorm isn’t a dorm- it’s like a freaking apartment. It’s amazing. Two levels- full kitchen, living room, four bedrooms (I believe), nice big bathroom… and ugh. I’m just jealous. I made him download “Kermit and Big Bird Stoned”. So good. Omer has an interesting poster on his wall. It’s of the brains of various animals/insects. Weird looking thing, but cool nevertheless. We went online to see for sure when the last bus would leave- and it said 1:07 AM- I had to catch that. We popped on the subway going to Port Authority and got there pretty quickly- the subway ride was fun- talkin’ about good stuff and all. I like his sense of humor. So let me make this clear for everything up to this point: getting to NYC= nightmare. Hanging out with Omer= so much fun, love every moment, good times. Getting home will be a semi-nightmare. Oy vey. We go to gate 314 where the bus dropped me off originally because that’s the bus company I came in on, and it says it goes to my bus port. We wait there from about 12:30-1:00… then some bastard, mean, old guy who works at the place yells at everybody who was up there to get out and go downstairs. There’s no buses arriving up here at this hour. Omer and I just look at each other in that “uh oh” type of way. He tells us (specifically Omer and I) to go to port 82 downstairs. The only problem is, is that they have turned off the elevators and closed off the stairs. We have to take this freaky ass freight elevator downstairs and I really wasn’t comfortable at all. I’m so glad he came with me to the Port Authority, ‘cause I really think I would have freaked out if he hadn’t been there with me. We go to Port 82 and ask a woman where this one goes- she says she was told that it went to some random places in New York. I started to get really worried. Omer and I found a guy who worked there, and we asked which bus I should take- he said bus 82. It was a relief. He said it was going to get here at 1:30 AM. And it did. At this point I say goodbye to Omer. I had an awesome time. So I get on the bus, with money in hand ready to pay for my ticket (like I did on the way here… pay for it on the bus. Also, realize that we had asked somebody upstairs where to buy tickets to get home and he said to buy it on the bus itself). So like I said, I was ready to pay for my ticket home. There was another guy on the bus who also had money out to pay for a ticket. The bus driver says to the guy and myself, “You can’t buy your tickets here. You have to go inside to get them.” Some guy sitting on the bus is like, “This bus ain’t waiting here” in the nastiest voice you ever heard, and I just wanted to smack him. The guy and I just look at each other and race inside to try and find an NJ transit bus ticket machine which a man on the bus had told us to go to, in order to get our tickets. We run up three flights of stairs. Run. We buy our tickets together, and go speeding down the staircases and past people. I’m out of breath. I paid $8.55 for my ticket home. Too freaking expensive. So the guy and I both sit pretty close to each other in the middle of the bus, along with the young man who told us where to get our tickets. We all end up talking the entire ride home. I don’t remember the young man’s name, but the guy I went running to get the tickets with was named Lee. He was a really cool guy. Talking to the two boys on the bus made the ride go much more quickly. I was at the bus station where my car was parked by 2:30 AM or so- I gave my number to Lee on the bus. He’s a cool guy! I called Omer to tell him that I had made it home okay- I just feel bad because I wish we had had more time to spend together in the city- it could have been an even more awesome night (not saying that I didn’t have fun, but it could have rocked to *no end*). I get back to the room, and Tuugii is still up. I can’t believe that- she had to wake up for 8:00 AM classes and she was still awake. I told her about my entire ordeal, and it was great to vent all this crap to her. She just stared at me wide eyed and with her mouth agape- it was ridiculous. That’s it for now. I’m done typing. Yowsers!

Thursday, October 24, 2002 12:24 p.m.
Mmm.... just woke up. I'll type the story of last night a bit later on once I'm truly awake.

Wednesday, October 23, 2002 05:56 p.m.
Added two pictures of Tuugii and I into the cam section. Gotta love her to death. I do.

Wednesday, October 23, 2002 11:18 a.m.
Two midterms on Wednesday (a week from today). AAAAAH! Then I think I have my English one on that Friday and I hate this crap already. Stupid midterms!

Tuesday, October 22, 2002 10:39 p.m.
My feet are so dead from my boots. Oy. I'll capture them on cam on another day. Boy oh boy.

Tuesday, October 22, 2002 04:40 p.m.
I added four, count 'em four, webcam pictures. I'm too bored. Should be doing homework but I really don't have much. Oh well.

Tuesday, October 22, 2002 04:21 p.m.
This kid Josh, who is in my English class, came up to me today at the end of class. He says, "Do you have a website?" I say, "Yeah." He says, "The one with all the cows and everything?" "Yeah, that's mine! How'd you find it?" Then we get into a small conversation 'bout my site. It's just weird! He looked up something on google, like "Ramapo sucks", and he found my site! Hah. Go figure. I'm sure I put something like those words on my site *somewhere*. He recognized me from my pictures. Weird. But cool, nonetheless.

Tuesday, October 22, 2002 10:53 a.m.
Last night was very cool- Omer called me, and I never get phone calls! Jen called me tooo and left a message on my cell, so I must call her back. Today I think I did very very well on my math test, and I handed in my Take Home Test for that class and think I did pretty well on that too! I left Tuugii's pictures at the one hour photo in my town last night, so I have to go home and pick them up after my last class today... blech. BUT I talked to Brianna online today and I'm soososososos happy. Yeaa!! Aaaaand... oh yes, we both went to play volleball last night like we used to at the elementary school (open v-ball on Monday nights). I saw so many of the people whom we played with last year, and it made me happy to see them. I hadn't really played real volleyball since August, so I had to get into the swing of things, but I can tell you this much- I have not lost my serve! I hope I can go play there maybe once or twice a month, which would be oh so nice. Alright, gotta get ready for my English class (blech).

Monday, October 21, 2002 09:38 a.m.
Well we just had yet another fire drill (ooooh joy and bliss). I walked outside in my bath robe, but I didn't mind at all. Seriously. It's a cute bath robe. Anyways, if you'll remember from my previous entry, I had met a guy on the Cruise for Jews (his name being Omer) and we exchanged numbers and screennames and all. WELL, last night I get a message from him! Aaah, it was so cool. I mean I expected not to hear from him at all, but the next night! That was fantastic. We have a bunch in common (one of the most prominent, in my opinion, the fact being that we both have a *love* for the color black and dressing in black). It made my day. So we talked for quite a bit, and we're hopefully going to make plans to meet again, probably in the city! Yeaaa. I'm gonna get ready in a bit- mom is coming to visit for a while, then we're going home and I'm going to watch the Lakeland volleyball game against my old high school team. Weehoo! I'm pretty sure Brianna is gonna be there, and I haven't seen her since the summer, so that will be cool. I don't think she knows I'm gonna be there, so hopefully it won't be a scary bad "surprise" for her or whatever! I mean if she reads this (if you read this haha) then you know. Anyhoo, I'm just in a good mood now (except for the fire drill). Oooh wait, do you want to see what I bought for Tracie for her birthday? Yes you do. There! If Tracie reads this, DON'T LOOK!

Sunday, October 20, 2002 09:34 p.m.
Aaaaahahahahaha. Hahahaha. Oh my God. Holy Jesus. Look what I found. Oooooh lordy.

Sunday, October 20, 2002 12:04 p.m.
Last night.. soosososososoososo fun. I went on that "Cruise for Jews" and it was fantastic. I wore this shirt with shexy grey pants. Wore the hair down and straightened it. Perty perty. There were about ten of us there, I believe. One guy and the rest girls from the Ramapo Hillel. Anyhoo, we got into the cars, went to go pick the guy up (Dan, the only guy with the Ramapo girls) and went to the city. We kept passing the entrance to Pier 63 where we needed to be at the Chelsea Piers. After wasting 30 minutes driving around, and sharing some frustrations, we got there. The boat was small, but cool. We all got in, 120 people or so in all. There were people from Rutgers, Columbia, Harvard, etc etc. I danced my heart out and 'twas so so good. Tiffany (my awesome RA), Elona (lives next door to me), Jess (suite mate to Tiffany), and I danced together a lot. I met one really really cool guy. His name is Omer and he's a junior at Columbia. We ended up just hanging out for probably the last hour of the boat ride. I had gone outside on the deck to get a bit of fresh air because I was so hot from dancing, and he just approached me and we started to talk. He has *very* similar interests to me. We're both big geeks, and that was obvious. He was funny as hell too. I liked his sense of humor. We exchanged numbers and all, and chances are we won't speak to each other again, but who knows! He bought me a drink, we chatted, it was just plain cool. We all got back home (after getting lost trying to find the Lincoln Tunnel) at around 200 in the morning. When I got back, Tuugii was lying in her bed awake. She perked up. She is so cute. I seriously love this girl like no other. I lucked out so badly since I got her as a roomie. I really love this gal. We talked for a bit last night before we both conked out at about 230 or so. This morning, we went to brunch together at the Pavilion. It was SO scrumptious. They had this whole, elaborate, and beautiful buffet set up. There was even an ice sculpture. Yummy breakfast foods, and a jazz band, tablecloths... the works. It was almost heavenly. I think I now may be going to a softball game with my suite mate, Brittany. Her sister is playing in it, and I don't really have much else to do, so why not! I'm off. Later.

Saturday, October 19, 2002 12:33 p.m.
I picked out my outfit for tonight. Guess what. It's simple with grey and black. Black. I love it. Maybe I'll pop a picture up later. I'm gonna straighten my hair too! Woohooo.

Saturday, October 19, 2002 10:54 a.m.
So... hungry.. brunch. Need foooood! Ewww, I'm sounding like a walking land monster. RAAAWR.

Saturday, October 19, 2002 09:34 a.m.
Last night was oh so fun. Tracie called and asked for directions to the Pallisades Mall... I tried to give them to her without confusing her, but I'm just so bad at giving directions. I said screw it, I'll take her to the mall! Tuugii, Tracie, and I ended up all going for a few hours- did some errands, a little bit of normal shopping, etc etc. I didn't get lost!!! I'm so proud. Then Tuugii and I watched Fight Club in our room. Mmmm. I have to pick an outfit other than the one I chose for tonight, because I don't think it will be nice enough for tonight. Blech. I have no idea what to wear! This is a mini-crisis .. for me. Hush. I'm done.

Friday, October 18, 2002 03:12 p.m.
Aaah.. the hot guy in my first year seminar flirts with me so badly. Ooooh. Happiness. We kept giving each other "the eye", and other stuff of major flirtaciousness. Sosososo happy. Mmm.

Friday, October 18, 2002 01:35 p.m.
I get back from class then lunch, and I'm off to class yet again. Oy.

Friday, October 18, 2002 10:37 a.m.
Last night, my suite mates were SO LOUD. They had friends over, it was late, and I wanted to sleep. So freaking loud. So irritating. Wanted to smack them. All I heard was them screaming curses at each other and laughing. Wanted... smack... them. I'm barely gonna have any homework this weekend. Thank goodness. Yeaa. I can't wait until Saturday night. I think tonight I'll watch one of my new movies. I'm feeling Fight Club.

Thursday, October 17, 2002 10:24 p.m.
Iiiiiiiiiiii just went shopping with Tuugii at the Palisades Shopping Mall- we spent most of our time at Target. I bought two of the best movies for under fifteen each on DVD: Fight Club and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation- I'm so happy right now.

Thursday, October 17, 2002 05:08 p.m.
I hung out with both Dan and Tracie a bit today which was cool. I also talked to my mom, and I'm gonna go to the Lakeland game on Monday!!!!!!!

Thursday, October 17, 2002 10:16 a.m.
Grrr... I was awoken this morning at 9 when my suite mate came a knockin at my door because she was locked out. But it's okay.. I fell back asleep. Just for once- on my day off- I'd like to be able to sleep through until 1100 or 1130 without being awoken by people in the hallway, or hearing Tuugii get ready in the morning! Not that she's that loud, it's just the room is so small you can't help but hear when the drawers are being opened and everything. I think that's why I always pick out my clothes the night before and get everything prepared, so I make as little noise as possible. Bleh. Day off. Yeaa!

Thursday, October 17, 2002 12:25 a.m.
Aaaaaaaaaahahahahahahaha. This is what Bri does instead of studying- finds quality stuff on the web. I had to turn it off at first... but it's just..... oh lordy. Hahaha. If I had sides, they'd be splitting!

Wednesday, October 16, 2002 08:40 p.m.
Let me get this straight first: I *hate* PDA's. They make me sad. Holding hands is fine, a little kiss on the cheek or quick kiss g'bye on the lips- I can handle that. But when people are full out making out right while you walk past them... just... blech. Anyways, as I was walking back from lunch (I think), there was a couple in the entrance to my dorm... kissing. *Really* kissing. It made me think to myself, "I want a boy." I miss just having a guy cuddle with me, and I miss getting kissed. I love kissing (in private, don't call me a hypocrite, foo') Gaaah. It sounds sooo cheesy, but I just kind of miss being held by somebody, you know? I don't need a relationship, and I also don't know if I want to just randomly hook up with people. I've never *really* done that sort of thing. Bleh. I'm done.

Wednesday, October 16, 2002 02:55 p.m.
I just talked to Bri, whom I haven't talked to in a really long time. It sounds dorky, but it put a smile on my face. Yeaa. And, three new cam pics up. Three is the magic number, eh?

Wednesday, October 16, 2002 02:42 p.m.
I forgot to mention before- my US history professor had us all cracking up this morning. I love this man. He just rips on his ex-wife the entire class. It's fantastic. She has been oh so affectionately called: Queen Kong and Tituba. Oh lordy... so good.

Wednesday, October 16, 2002 12:22 p.m.
It's freezing. It's raining freezing rain. We have yet another fire alarm. God I love this place.

Tuesday, October 15, 2002 08:40 p.m.
I went to Dan's family's house for dinner tonight- I love his family. Such a nice time. They cook some damn good food, and they're funny as hell and sweet as anything.

Tuesday, October 15, 2002 01:14 p.m.
My head is *pouding*. Gah. One more class to go and it's a good one (thank goodness). After that I'll finish up my last two math problems for the take home test (woohoooo) and read a bit for English if the headache goes away. Can't leave out Trading Spaces from 400-500. I think Emma may be coming up to visit me, and then on Saturday night I'll go with Tiffany (my awesome RA) to a thing called "Cruise with the Jews". Hahah.. oy. It's a 25 dollar thing where you go out on a boat with a bunch of fellow Jewish people from other collegs. Jewish boys! Yeaaaaa.

Monday, October 14, 2002 10:56 p.m.
I just realized that I needed to update my little section about me. I made some minor changes. Yes. Probably can't tell.

Monday, October 14, 2002 07:59 p.m.
Guess what. Two minutes after I dropped my stuff off in my dorm room... another fire alarm! Yeaaa for being out in 30-40 degree weather for half an hour.

Monday, October 14, 2002 02:04 p.m.
Reminder for me: Dirty Dancing tonight at 8 on USA. Must... watch... love... movie.

Monday, October 14, 2002 01:37 p.m.
Aaaah. Woke up pretty early. Dad came in while I was sleeping this morning and kissed me g'bye (love my daddy). I've basically just been watching TV all morning and getting all my stuff together, cleaning up my room (which basically consists of making my bed). Now I'm just waiting for school to be over so that I can go visit a teacher or two then see the volleyball game. You have no idea how excited I am!

Sunday, October 13, 2002 05:08 p.m.
I went to the Museum of Natural History with my daddy today. Gotta love him. Went to the IMAX theater and it was amazing. Walked around my favorite exhibits (dinosaurs, Asian peoples, African peoples, geology area, etc). I got Tuugii a surprise gift which I'll give to her tomorrow when I get home after the v-ball game at home (yeaaa Chiefs!) I can't wait to see the girls play. I've been wanting to watch for a while, but now I'm finally able to see 'em play at home. Yessss.

Sunday, October 13, 2002 09:18 a.m.
So yesterday... drove home in the pouring rain. I got together with Jen who was home for the weekend (yeaaaaa), and we went to the really nice movie theater a few towns over with stadium seating to see Red Dragon. I was hiding my face in the sleeve of Jen's sweatshirt. The movie was awesom. Silence of the Lambs was good, Hannibal sucked like no other, and Red Dragon was just amazing. We then went to Panera at about 315 for some scrumptious lunch. Their Tuscan Chicken Sandwich is fantastic! I then dropped Jen off at her home, because she had to go out with her family. Jen and I have been trying to set up a plan for a few weeks now where I'll drive up to Binghamton and we will hang out for the weekend. Yeaa! We've been shootin' for the second weekend of November, so I hope this works out. My dad gave me a lesson in the manual car and I'm getting better and better - a major plus. We did some of our Simpsons jigsaw puzzle in the basement and made some mad progress (it's a hard puzzle, I tell you!) Then we went to Blockbuster to rent UHF (with Weird Al) and we ordered Chinese food. I got steamed dumplings. Mmmmmm. We ate our yummy food, then watched the movie. I think we both dozed off a bit nearing the last half our of it, but the movie was pretty damn funny in a lot of spots. That was my night. I went to bed eaaaaaaarly. Like 1030. Just woke up. Good sleep. I don't want to go back to Ramapo today, but I feel bad because I don't want to leave Tuugii alone. I don't know what to do. Meh. I'll think about this.

Friday, October 11, 2002 10:12 p.m.
Watching Lord of the Rings (phone break since Tuugii's mommy called). Aaah. My movie. Bought with my own money. Fantastico.

Friday, October 11, 2002 07:15 p.m.
I downloaded Ave Maria performed by the Vienna Boys Choir... it makes me cry. It's so beautiful. I sound like a dork, but it's just beautiful.

Friday, October 11, 2002 05:59 p.m.
Why the hell am I such a fucking loser? I've got to get out tonight. Need more friends.

Friday, October 11, 2002 02:40 p.m.
I ran into Tracie and another girl Sarah (she's in my First Year Seminar) at the Birch Tree. We ended up eating together, and I almost snarfed because Tracie is hilarious. Oy vey. I love this girl. Seeing her actually brightened my day. That's always a good thing. I'm gonna go to that volleyball game on Monday at my high school, and maybe I'll see if there is open volleyball at the elementary school there at 8 like I used to go to.

Friday, October 11, 2002 09:54 a.m.
It's raining haaaaaard out here. But it's nice. I like it. Off to do homework. One more class today (First Year Seminar is canceled wooo).

Thursday, October 10, 2002 12:44 p.m.
What is this world coming to? I just saw an advertisement for a new video game.. I can't remember the name. But the object is to assassinate Sadaam. Believe me, it's not like I respect this guy or anything, but... COME ON! They made a video game where kids assassinate him. That's disgusting. Truly disgusting. What the hell.

Thursday, October 10, 2002 12:14 p.m.
Aaaaahahahahahahaha. Look what Dan sent me. Beautiful.

Thursday, October 10, 2002 10:09 a.m.
Blech. I feel gross. Now the heat is turned on in all the rooms. That means no more air conditioning until... sometime after the winter, I dunno. It's freaking burning up in our room.

Thursday, October 10, 2002 12:03 a.m.
I hate being of the feminine nature. Gaaaah!

Wednesday, October 9, 2002 06:42 p.m.
WHY DOES MY MOM HAVE TO BE A BITCH SOMETIMES?!!! What the hell? What did I do???? I went to freaking intramural volleyball today at the designated spot at the right time, and yet again nobody was there. This is probably the third time this has happened. I've talked to the director of intramurals at least five or six times through e-mails and phone calls, trying to figure out what the hell went wrong. I wrote the director guy a few angry e-mails about the freaking thing. I give up. I'm not wasting my time on this unorganized mess known as intramurals at Ramapo. I told my mom this- I told her I give up with this shit, and she freaking gets frustrated with me and mad at me, and on the phone just says.. "Ucccchhhh... goodbye." Yea, bye mom.

Wednesday, October 9, 2002 12:05 p.m.
I'm beginning to hate my dorm for the sheer problem of the stupid fire system. It's really just not fair. I finished all of my homework and everything, so between today and tomorrow, all I'm gonna have to do is work on my International Studies notes- I already did the articles due for next week. Hot, eh?

Wednesday, October 9, 2002 02:29 a.m.
Heeeeeey what's up! We had a FIRE DRILL! Yeaaaaaaaaaaa.

Tuesday, October 8, 2002 11:10 p.m.
Although I did not get Sim Tower and Sim City, I did enjoy the movie. Yeaaa for blood and gore... Goodfellas. Mafia to the core?

Tuesday, October 8, 2002 06:49 p.m.
Gonna watch Goodfellas with Dan and Tuugii. AND I'm getting Sim City and Sim Tower. Does it get much better? Also, I went out to dinner with Dan and some of his friends from here, and they all seem really nice- so I'm glad to have met some cool people. I hope I get to see them more often. I likes 'em.

Tuesday, October 8, 2002 03:38 p.m.
Yeaa for Sebbie and his witty guestbook entries. Ehehe. Four more classes this week and I'm done. Thank goodness. Back to homework.

Tuesday, October 8, 2002 12:06 a.m.
Dan and I were going to go bowling, but we got lost and couldn't find the alley, so we decided to just drive around 'cause we both love doing that. We did that for over a good hour, then came back to the dorms and decided we wanted to watch Super Troopers. If I had sides, they'd be splitting. Woo, I laughed so hard. It was fun- after it was over, we just chillaxed in his room and talked for another hour, and now I'm here and waiting til I get tired to go to sleep. Meh.

Monday, October 7, 2002 04:39 p.m.
Oy today... today I was online, and the awesome male counterpart, Dan, IM's me on AIM. He tells me that there are inspections today of our rooms and that they're giving out fines like mad. Crazy. So I come home (to the dorm) and I'm in my room by 300. I tell Tuugii about it, and we begin a mass cleaning spree. Not that our room is dirty AT ALL- in fact, we keep it pretty dern clean... yes dern. Anyhoo, we start cleaning, and all of a sudden I hear crash, clammer, BAM! I look over from where I was cleaning, and Tuugii by accident had knocked her suitcase into my Yaffaa blocks and they just fell over. All my stuff fell out. It was soooooooo freaking funny. My stuff is just scattered all over the place in the sink area, and Tuugii has a look of mass fear on her face. I just laughed. We start putting the thing back together. I say to Tuugii... "God... I hope we don't have the inspectors come to our floor today." Five minutes later, knock knock knock on the door. Tuugii looks at me and smiles and whispers, "Should I open it??" I giver her the nod. In walk my RA and another RA. I look at them and go, "Our room does NOT normally look like this. My blocks fell over!!! Are you sure you want to do this now??" Tiffany (my RA) says.. "Don't worry, we don't look for cleanliness or anything like that, just fire hazards and potential hazards." They walk around our room for fifteen seconds and then they're gone. That was it. So much worry for that. Sheebus. I took a picture of the fiasco, and when I finish the roll and get it developed, I'll post it here. Oh wait! Here's my new cellphone. Hot, eh?

I'm still at home. Dad had his first day of work today (HE GOT A JOB!!!!!!!!! I'M SO FREAKING HAPPY). He had been out of work since October 15th of last year, (that was the shitty shitty year of mom cancer, dad loses job, mom has no more job, etc etc). And now my dad has work. It's a relief, and I'm happy for him! My mom left for Florida to see her mommy and dad (my grammy and gramps)so right now I have the whole house to myself. I took the nicest shower I've taken in a long time. At school, we have that horrible, little stall shower- here I have a full bathtub length shower. It was wonderful. I could move. At school, the stall is about as big as about four of me. No room to move. Reeee-diculous. Now I can run around the house in my comfy... stuff... eh hem... yes. I'm waiting for a package to arrive that I ordered for Emma's b-day present. She knows it's coming. I just hope it comes today, so I can wrap it, run it over to her, and then go back to school. Thats my plan for the day. Until that time comes, I think I'll watch one of my freshly bought DVD's.

Sunday, October 6, 2002 08:03 p.m.
I hung out aaaaaaaallllll day with Emma and I was happy. We briefly went into the street fair and ran into a lot of people: Danielle, Tamara, Jackie who was on the v-ball team, Caitlin H's mommy, and other people. I heard that Min, Bri, and Andy were at the street fair but I didn't run into them so bleh. But Emma and I then rented Gremlins from Blockbuster, and there were a whole bunch of DVD's for sale- so I bought a League of Their Own for 9.99 and Lord of the Rings for 16.99. Rock, eh? I'm staying home for tonight- my stomach hurts so badly. Horrible. But I'll be back at school tomorrow evening I'm sure. I got a new cellphone too! I'll show a picture of it when I get back to my dorm with the cam.

Sunday, October 6, 2002 10:19 a.m.
Last night was sososososos much fun. Let's see... at 500, Tony and I went running/walking. Mostly walking 'cause I'm so out of shape. We probably ran a half a mile, and then my ears went mute and I had to stop. We then just did probably walked between a mile or two around the Ramapo reservation and it was beautiful. We just talked so that was fun. We got back, went to the Pavilion for some grub, then went to J. Lee's to play pool and ping pong. I'm horrible at pool so he kicked my butt, but I ended up beating him 'cause he scratched when he went for the 8 ball. A kid Dan, whom I had met two days earlier, showed up along with a few friends. I played a round of pool with him, then we went and played ping pong. Tony, Dan, and I stayed after Dan's friends had left. Then we all went back to my room and just talked for a good hour or so. Tony left, and Dan and I just continued talking afterwards. It was 1030 by now. Tuugii came back from her First Year Seminar in New York and she looked DEAD. So I said to Dan that he should probably go. He asked if I wanted to hang out maybe in his room and I said definitely, but I still hadn't showered yet, so I'd go up after I did that. I was showered and ready to go, and I popped up into his room a bit before 11. Again, we just talked until aboug 1215, and then we went to late night dining. Talked a whole bunch more.. went back to his room afterwards and by now it was 100. I stayed there until 145, and of course.... we just talked. I seriously think this kid is absolutely awesome. I like him *a lot*. And it's really scary, because he's my male counterpart and I'm his female counterpart. We're *exactly* alike. So it was just so much fun last night, and I can't wait until Dan and I hang out again. This kid is so much fun.

Saturday, October 5, 2002 04:10 p.m.
I really wish this kid would stop calling me. It's pissing me off. Like no other.

Saturday, October 5, 2002 10:03 a.m.
I'm tired. Fell asleep at 12 and just woke up now but I'm tired. Don't have any homework to do this weekend, 'cause I finished it all on Friday. How ridiculous is that? Muahahah.

Friday, October 4, 2002 11:04 p.m.
I have come to the conclusion that boys are daft. I had one kid whom I thought was just a friend of mine hitting on me all day. He tried to kiss my mouth, my neck, my back- I told him seriously, "None of that." I said outright no. He persisted. It made me uncomfortable. I just wanted to hang out and watch a movie- why don't guys get it that when you say no, you mean no.

Friday, October 4, 2002 11:10 a.m.
Let me tell you that last night was just fantastic. Tuugii and I were going to bed at 1130! 1130! Nice and early and we were soooooooooo happy. So we both pop into our beds, turn out the lights (beforehand of course), and start to doze. All of a sudden, BAM. Fire alarm. 1140. I it was raining and freezing. We were tired. We didn't get back inside until 1200 because Tuugii left her ID in the room and she got in trouble for it, so I waited with her of course. Then we get back up at 1200, and we get back into our beds, ready to sleep. Somebody is bouncing a ball of some sort in the room above us and it's pissing me off. I finally fell asleep. 1230 I get a phone call from somebody looking for Jenny. I hung up on them after they kept on talking when I said, "This isn't freaking Jenny and I'm trying to sleep." Bam. Hang up. That was last night. Now... off to English. Satan.

Thursday, October 3, 2002 11:13 p.m.
Guess who's almost caught up with all her history work (it's me... it's me). I am absolutely FINISHED with all three books that I had to read- one for English, one for my First Year Seminar, and one for my History class. Damn straight.

Thursday, October 3, 2002 10:53 a.m.
Guess who just woke up?! MEEEE! Muahahaaha. Thank goodness. Eleven hours of sleep and it was all well needed. And well deserved. I worked my butt off with my Intro to Int'l Studies yesterday. I took notes from the book on over seven chapters which is about 180 pages. That and I read what I had to for my US History course AND I read another 50 pages in my First Year Seminar book. Damn straight that's good. Woo. Back to reading High Fidelity.

Wednesday, October 2, 2002 11:14 p.m.
Emma's birthday is a week from today... hmmm....

Wednesday, October 2, 2002 07:40 p.m.
Guess what I did for 95% of today??? Go to classes and do homework! Woooohoooooo. I'm gonna keep at this history stuff for at least another hour or so, then devote the rest of my night to finishing up my book for my First Year Seminar which is due Friday- I can finish it without a doubt in a few hours. Give me strength to get rid of my headache and stay up to do a lot of this homework.

Wednesday, October 2, 2002 11:12 a.m.
Sweet sweet 805 classes. Nothing more could bring a smile to my face when I wake up at 700 in the morning to take a shower and get ready, eat breakfast, then go to class in a sleepy stupor. But I love that class, so it's okay. Last night I fell asleep at around 1100 or 1130 and it was so nice. Soso nice. I talked to my bubbe!

Tuesday, October 1, 2002 04:05 p.m.
I love my first year seminar and the kids in it. They all make me happy. But... I'm so freaking mad at my English teacher. He gave me a freaking B/C on my first paper. He's so confusing and doesn't know what the hell he wants. He tells us to write a personal story about a family experience which I do. This is not a formal paper, keep in mind. I am a sarcastic person. Everything I do is sarcastic. I speak sarcastically and I write sarcastically. I even make some comments about myself knowing that I can be such a dumbass at times. So I handed in my paper, written in my personal style. He tells us beforehand (before we hand in our papers) that we should be as detailed as possible. Show what happens, don't tell. I showed what happened- I drew the reader in so that you would feel as though you were right there with me as events were happening. I get comments back saying that I write too sarcastically (although I was really hardly as sarcastic as I can be in this paper) and that I used too much detail. WTF?! I did everything in that paper that we had read about in our books for English, rhythm prose, showing not telling, etc etc. And I get marked off for it. I'm so freaking enraged. No idea. You have no idea. He's contradicting himself- what the hell does he want from my writing?!

Tuesday, October 1, 2002 10:48 a.m.
After my math class today, the teacher's assistant, Adam, ran out after me after I had left the class (after class was over I had gone up to the professor to show her a simpler way of figuring out the answer on the calculator, and Adam had explained to me there that he would have shown that to the class if he knew they wouldn't get confused by it, but of course they would be confused if he showed them). Anyways, so he ran out after me, and he stopped me and told me "You know, I understand how this can be really slow and annoying for you, but you have to understand that some of the kids in the class can't add, multiply, or subtract fractions." I said to him, "Then why am I in this class?!" I was just so frustrated, but he knows how that feels because he was in the same situation and had to take the same class when he was a freshman also. I like Adamn and I wish he taught my math class, not the professor. Adam is smart and can actually explain things well. Oy!

Tuesday, October 1, 2002 12:01 a.m.
Damn my early classes at 830 in the morning. They can kiss my butt. Truly.

Monday, September 30, 2002 02:10 p.m.
I just finished my first "book report" for my US History class that is due next Wednesday and it feels SO good to have it out of the way. Muahahahaha. I'm free now. Going home at 230 with Tuugii (my home) to see if we can do something about her contact lenses which tore. May say for dinner at my house, go to the mall, then come back here! I hope I can take her to my mall.

Monday, September 30, 2002 01:16 p.m.
Look at all my pretty dorm pictures! One, two, three, four, five

Yeaa for our dorm room. And I also put these pictures up in my webcam section.

Monday, September 30, 2002 10:12 a.m.
Non est bonum. Ego missi meam amicam qui esset unus esse hic mihi. Habet novos amicos et non longe curat de me.

Monday, September 30, 2002 12:01 a.m.
Hmmm.... I'm looking at the Harry Potter poster on the wall and I can't help but smile.

Sunday, September 29, 2002 10:50 p.m.
Tuugii and I went to Kohl's and to the Paramus Mall today, but both were closed. Freaking Sundays. So we came back to campus, had dinner, then took the shuttle to K-Mart. I bought two posters, some gum, and body spray. Tuugii got a poster, some make-up, some food and candy, and a few other things (including a brandy new pair of pants!). Anyways, so when we came back to our dorm, we started hanging up our posters. Then we just decided to go on a decorating binge. The room looks soooo much better now. We hung up a whole bunch of pictures on her wall that she had tucked away in her closet, printed out a few by Van Gogh and Salvador.. what's his name.. Salvador Dali. Hung those up on the wall and the room just looks so perty. Mebbe I'll upload some pictures of it tomorrow after all my laundry gets put away (I have to flat dry some of my stuff, so it looks stupid on the big fat rack in the middle of our room). I just had a really good time today and I'm happy happy happy! I love my roomie sosososo much.

Sunday, September 29, 2002 10:23 a.m.
Hmm..... just woke up a while ago. Been trying to read some of my boring history book, but that's just not happening. I'll read some a bit more after computer time. Gonna do the laundry today, go to KOHL's with Tuugii... and then I dunno what. That's it for now.

Saturday, September 28, 2002 10:40 p.m.
Parent's Day was cooool. TUugii and I spent the entire day with my parents, and I was just really happy to see them. Went to a few programs at the college, went to the mall (Tuugii got a pair of pants from the GAP), went to eat at Look See, a Chinese restaurant, and all of us- mom, dad, Tuugii, and I drove the manual Civic today- my Civic. I didn't staul! Weeheeee. THat's it for now. OH yea, went to the party downstairs, and I must say it was pretty lame. Meh. Maybe I'll go back in a half hour just to see if it got better.

Saturday, September 28, 2002 10:41 a.m.
Today will be busy busy busy. My parents come up for parent's day, but I don't know when they'll be here (I have to shower and get dressed oy, 'cause Tuugii and I just woke up... yeaaaa! We both cheered when we woke up because we finally got some decent sleep). Anyways, so they'll come here, I dunno what the plans are when they get here, they're gonna take Tuugii and I out to dinner (I'm hoping Chinese). The parents should be gone by 7 I'm sure. At 8 there is that dance downstairs which I'm definitely going to be at. That's until 12. After that??? I think I'll go to sleep. Yeaaa for sleep. And I still need to do a laundry.

Friday, September 27, 2002 11:06 p.m.
Oooh tonight was good. Tuugii and I just got back from walking around the campus in the pouring rain. But it was that kind of rain where you didn't mind it because it was so warm and comfortable out. We just did a lap around the campus basically, and talked and I'm happy now. Yeaa!

Friday, September 27, 2002 01:24 p.m.
You don't realize how amazingly well your teachers taught you in high school and how good they were at what they did until you reach college. I love you, high school teachers!

Friday, September 27, 2002 10:30 a.m.
Aaah- Dan IM'd me and that boy makes me laugh like no other. I miss our transmissions of Ebola, Hepatatis, and Venerial Diseases at school. ::sigh::

BLUEDAN: hey s------z i got a little something for u
Boothlisa: ooh

BLUEDAN: HIV
Boothlisa: NOOO
Boothlisa: STOP IT!
Boothlisa: for the love of god my body can only take so many STDs
BLUEDAN: ur gonna implode
Boothlisa: fuck
BLUEDAN: sexually transmitted implosion
Boothlisa: i leave you my stereo cause it sucks ass- thats all you deserve- a suck ass radio
BLUEDAN: thats so mean
BLUEDAN: and to think i've given u so much...so many assorted venerial diseases
Boothlisa: i appreciate them
Boothlisa: really i do
Boothlisa: but i never thought i would have to implode from all of them

BLUEDAN: its the price some pay
BLUEDAN: ur beyond the ebola
Boothlisa: am i ebola COMPLEX!
BLUEDAN: oh my, im afraid so

This brings back memories of stabbing each other with pencils in the senior lobby before school, transmitting lovely diseases. I can't count how many times I've been infected with Herpes Simplex II from Dan. Through the pencil.

(Now don't get the wrong idea people, I don't REALLY have these diseases... jeebus). And you actually thought I'd give you my last name. You're kidding. I'm done. I'm sorry.

Friday, September 27, 2002 01:01 a.m.
Aaaah I feel so bad! Tiffany (my RA) asked if I could make a CD with particular songs on it for this dance that is gonna be in the lounge of my dorm- we worked on it together for a while and all, went to late night dining together which was cool, then worked on the list a bit more- so then we went our separate ways and just five minutes ago I finished burning the CD. She said to pop on over whenever I'm done, so I did and she opens the door and her eyes are squinty and the room is dark. My hand immediately goes to my mouth and all I can say is, "Oh my God! I'm soooooo sorry! I'm so sorry." She says its okay 'cause she didn't get to sleep yet, but I had a feeling she had drifted off or was just about to. Meh. I feel bad, but she was really really appreciative. Sooo yeaaaa!

Thursday, September 26, 2002 05:57 p.m.
After I came back from a mid-day snack type thing with Tracie, I ran into Mecca (the guy I met last night playing ping pong). We ended up hanging out from about 330 until about ten minutes ago. We just listened to music and danced in my room- he's hilarious. He's gonna come back in a bit and I'll be makin' a CD for him. May go to a party tonight, gotta see.

Thursday, September 26, 2002 10:16 a.m.
PS. I guess my parents have officially gotten rid of aol, so DON'T e-mail me at boothlisa@aol.com. E-mail me at boothlisa@yahoo.com

Thursday, September 26, 2002 10:10 a.m.
Grrr... Grrrr can hardly describe it. After all our fun stuff last night, Tuugii and I basically passed out at 1AM. We both were sleeping sosososososoosso soundly. It honestly was such a good sleep. All of a sudeen, I dart up from my bed and my heart is racing- the fire alarm has been pulled. The first thing I say after I'm rudely awoken is, "What the fuck?!" Why do people do this??? It's freaking cold outside, and people are sleeping! So of course Tuugii and I walk out of our room like zombies along with everybody else who are in a daze. As I'm walking downstairs and then through the lobby, I squint my eyes (because I don't have my glasses on or contacts in and I can't see), but I do manage to make out the time. 4:30 in the morning. Some fucktard thought it would be a really good idea to pull the alarm at 4:30 in the morning. I was (and am) soooooo mad. All I had on were a pair of sweatpants, a thin tank top, and a pair of sandals. I was so cold! Oh my goodness. So it makes me wonder- what if some genius decides to do something like this again in the middle of winter? That's gonna be fun.

Thursday, September 26, 2002 12:08 a.m.
Tonight was really awesome. At about 815, Tuugii and I went down the lounge to play some ping pong- we played for about fifteen minutes until a guy came along- he was really good (his name is Mecca). This kid is really just hilarious and cool and fun to be around. He was also quite good at ping pong- so he was good competition for Tuugii (I can't put up such a great fight when it comes to ping pong). Anyways- I watched them play against each other for about an hour which was fun!! Then he came back to our room with us and we talked for a bit especially about cars... I then went up to see his room and all, and I met his roommate who was cool as well. Mecca has a black light in his room and when we smiled, our teeth looked so... weird, but in that good funny way where you get embarassed to smile 'cause you know your teeth are gonna look funny, but you can't help but laugh and show your teeth. Anyways, he asked if I wanted to stay a bit and hang out, but I thought it would be best if I went back to my room and all- but I hope to hang out with him again 'cause... he's cool like that. Yea. And I luff Tim, and I can't wait until he moves into geekstar. He is seriously just such a sweet boy and fun to talk to. Indeed. Oh wait- then after I got back from hanging out with Mecca, I came back to the room with Tuugii and on VH1 there was a program about the almighty butt... caboose... ass. Weehee. It inspired us to get off our lazy asses and work out a bit. We set up a tentative workout schedule where we work out three days a week always, and the other four are open to whatever we want to do. I also typed out a sheet that goes through December basically of my diet. It consists of five small meals a day with eggs for protein in the morning, then mostly fruits and veggies for the rest of the day, along with some cheese (for my salads and all). Yesssss. Must... get back to 115-ish. Or at least be toned enough to not hate myself as much as I do now. I hated myself before when I was 115 pounds, now I wish I was back at those days when I did weigh that little. Grrrrr. If only I didn't love food so much!

Wednesday, September 25, 2002 07:32 p.m.
This is Tim. Tim will soon be located here. He's so cute and so funny, and you can't help but love him!

Wednesday, September 25, 2002 10:50 a.m.
Don't want to do my homework. Evil. No class for another five hours or so, but definitely not looking forward to it at all.

Tuesday, September 24, 2002 08:59 p.m.
Went out to dinner with Tuugii and a girl (Rena) from my first year seminar. She seems like a nice girl! Now... Real World is on tonight. AND a really awesome guy applied to be hosted at Geekstar so I jumped at him. Yesss... I can't wait until he moves in. His name is Tim.

Tuesday, September 24, 2002 10:09 a.m.
Aaah math class. I've learned to accept the factor of slowness and use that time to complete homework. ENglish is next. Make the bad man go away! Noooo. Played some mad ping pong Forest Gump style last night. Aaaah yes.

Monday, September 23, 2002 04:36 p.m.
Tuugii and I decided to head on out to the Ramsey Shopping Center and go to Borders where we bought her Catcher in the Rye and a map of NYC. It was cool to get out and actually know where I was driving. Weehheee.

Monday, September 23, 2002 01:30 p.m.
I just finished the book for my English class "This Side of Brightness". Thank freaking God. Now all I have to do is read my one for history class which is due October 9th. No biggie.

Monday, September 23, 2002 09:41 a.m.
Heeeeey guess what! FREAKING FIRE ALARM AT 930 IN THE MORNING! I was sleeping- it's one of my days off. Gaaaaaaah.

Sunday, September 22, 2002 09:29 p.m.
I went to my little cousin Andrew's bar mitzvah today and it was sososososo fun. I got to see him obviously, and all my awesome family members. Ain't nothin' better. *And* the camera guy person helper was oh so hot, and yes.

Saturday, September 21, 2002 12:03 a.m.
My roomie just made my day. Oh my God. We were just sitting on our beds talking, she was tellin' me about her trip to NYC today with her class and she said how she was talking to this girl (whom I had met at the Birch Tree Inn at school) and her dealings with boys. Anyways, Tuugii said that this girl had just found out that her boyfriend had cheated on her a lot. So Tuugii says, "Yes.. eeh... this girl... she broke his... what do you call it? Fek? Fik??" I say, "What do you mean? What are you talking about? His... his foot?" She says "Nono... his... dick!!!" Hahahaha. Oh my God. We were both laughing for so long, I started crying. She then said, "Ooooh, and the girl was using all these words that I don't know. I was just like... 'What?! What?? What!'" Ooooh... too good.

Saturday, September 21, 2002 11:34 p.m.
Going to my cousin's bar mitzvah tomorrow! Yep. I probably should get to sleep soon considering that I have to get up at 715 so I can shower, get ready, drive home, meet my parents by 9 at home, then go to pick up my grams, then go to the service and then the party. Oy vey.

Saturday, September 21, 2002 08:12 p.m.
Trading Spaces! Yesssss. That's on along with evolution. I'm choosing to watch Trading Spaces and mebbe I'll catch Evolution on Tuesday, since it's the HB0 new movie.

Saturday, September 21, 2002 11:27 a.m.
Last night sucked. I went out to late night dining, but bleh. There were no parties here or anything (and I know that for a fact), Tuugii was in New York City for some meeting thing, but it got better 'cause I got to talk to my friend Daniel on the phone for a few hours. That really made me sosososo happy. Always makes me happy. Tuugii came back well after I had fallen asleep (I zonked out at around 1230). Her mom called at 830 this morning. They ended up talking for about half an hour- and I was up the entire time. I fell back asleep until 11. Weeheee. I finished all of my English homework last night, and today I'll do my history stuff. But now- Trading Spaces.

Friday, September 20, 2002 10:21 p.m.
My campus = dead. Lord help me.

Friday, September 20, 2002 01:40 p.m.
One more class! Give me strength. Oy vey. At least it's a good one- plan for tonight? Do homework so I can enjoy my weekend.

Friday, September 20, 2002 09:58 a.m.
Aaah math class. IT's over. yeaa. I did all my homework in class yet again- that's not such a bad thing. Now... now I get to relax 'cause I don't have anything to do. Maybe I should read. Mmm. Yes.

Thursday, September 19, 2002 09:30 p.m.
James came over and oh my God! He gave me THE BEST GAME EVER. You know the arcade game called "Night of the Living Dead" or "House of the Living Dead" or something like that? Well now I have "Type of the Living Dead". It's just like the arcade game, except you have to type words, sentences, and answers to questions incredibly quickly in order to win. I beat the game! Muahahaha. OH my goodness, soosososossosos fun.

Thursday, September 19, 2002 06:12 p.m.
Uggghhh... I need to PUNCH something. Every time I see what I see it makes me want to kick him so sososososososo hard. I get so mad over it everytime .. every freaking time I see it. Why am I such a bitch and why do I let it bother me???

Thursday, September 19, 2002 04:57 p.m.
I have the civic (automatic) with me! I tried driving the manual with my dad- God bless his soul for having that much patience with me 'cause I suck at driving that car. Oh my goodness. May I improve quickly. Please.

Thursday, September 19, 2002 10:23 a.m.
Oooooh lordy- I just woke up. I guess it's a good thing I don't have classes today, eh?! Going home for a doctor's appointment and I'm hoping to bring my car (or the other civic) up with me to school today. That would be hella cool.

Wednesday, September 18, 2002 12:16 p.m.
I finished my reading for my history class from this morning, but I'm feeling too lazy to do reading for my int'l studies class at 330. Oy. Food. Yes.

Wednesday, September 18, 2002 10:42 a.m.
Owwwww my back hurts. I don't know why.

Tuesday, September 17, 2002 07:57 p.m.
Check out my hot new six dollar little boys t-shirt from TJ Maxx. Ooooh yea. Three new pictures (including that one) in the cam section.

Tuesday, September 17, 2002 06:33 p.m.
I'm not hungry. But I'm having dinner. Stupid.

Tuesday, September 17, 2002 01:35 p.m.
Aaah sweet sweet sounds of Sublime. One more class which I probably should be leaving for in about ten minutes- may go party tonight with Brittanie (my suite mate) and some other people. We shall see.

Tuesday, September 17, 2002 09:52 a.m.
Math was fine 'cause I knew everything that we were doing in that class- I remembered it all from high school- I swear, it's the stuff I learned in freshman year. So while she went through about maybe four problems the entire class period, I got this weeks homework done. Damn straight.

Tuesday, September 17, 2002 07:43 a.m.
I couldn't fall asleep last night. And I have math today- what a way for a fantastic start.

Monday, September 16, 2002 10:39 a.m.
Have to go to temple in about.... oooh.... two minutes. Meh.

Sunday, September 15, 2002 09:00 p.m.
I. OWN. A CAR!!!!!!!!!! Ahahahahha. I have a car now. I own a car. The car is MINE. Oh my God- I can't describe it.

Sunday, September 15, 2002 10:55 a.m.
Off to brunch! YEAAAA FOOD!

Sunday, September 15, 2002 01:50 a.m.
So we went to the dance and saw Tracie and a girl Jen whom I had met before, and it was just so incredibly lame. So bad. The DJ was *horrible* But there were these two amazing dancers there- that was entertaining. That's about it. Watched There's Something About Mary.

Saturday, September 14, 2002 04:58 p.m.
I went to one of the shopping centers nearby to the college with Tuugii (we took the shuttle) and I'm so happy we went! For once, we actually got the hell out of here and so I know we both were happy to go somewhere that wasn't dead like the campus.

Saturday, September 14, 2002 11:12 a.m.
I went to go get breakfast this morning- oy vey. I went to Birch Tree to get it there, but it wasn't open- only the Roadrunner Express- so I decided to go see if the Pavilion was open (all the way on the other side of campus) and I found that it was closed. So I came back to Roadrunner, got my little bagel and drink- came back to the room, and Tuugii tells me that the Pavilion opens at 11. HEOPHTA! Grrr.

Saturday, September 14, 2002 12:14 a.m.
It's dang cold out there tonight!

Friday, September 13, 2002 09:59 a.m.
Alright- I just got back from my math class and let me say this: MY MATH TEACHER IS THE BIGGEST FREAKING MORON.... E-V-E-R. Holy crap. Oh my God. Oh my God. She has *no*... absolutely NO idea what she's talking about, how to teach, or how to do math! Oh my God. I'm sorry. I was smacking my head against my desk in that class- I know all that stuff- she just CAN'T TEACH. Holy CRAP JESUS!!!! TIOEWHPATI! OTHWEAHT GRRRRRRR. Okay.

Thursday, September 12, 2002 04:21 p.m.
Hahaha... holy crap. Only Sebbie. Oy.

Thursday, September 12, 2002 03:28 p.m.
Added three new pictures to the webcam section. Last page. Check 'em out. Yeaa for boredom.

Thursday, September 12, 2002 12:28 p.m.
I should probably read my Intro to Int'l Studies book more thoroughly, but it's stuff that we discussed in class.... maybe I'll be motivated later.

Wednesday, September 11, 2002 10:11 p.m.
Hahahaha. I love Emma.

Wednesday, September 11, 2002 01:21 p.m.
Did I ever tell you that I love my US History teacher, Professor Brown? After class this morning, I went to him to ask him about ancient civilizations 'cause I don't exactly know where else to go to get information. We ended up talking for ten minutes or so about music from the 60's and 70's (don't ask me how we got there) and he's just the coolest guy. Yeep. I finished the reading that is due for his class a week from today, so I have that off my back- in two hours I have to go to my International Studies class (bleh), and after that my day is done and then I have off on Thursday. Yeaa.

Wednesday, September 11, 2002 12:27 a.m.
I played volleyball with Tracie, James, Naomi, Dana (whom I was on the Maples Club Volleyball team with woohoo) and some other random people and it was sosososososo much fun. Aaah, then after that, Tracie, Tuugii and I went to the Zumba exercise thing at the Pavilion. It was fun, but I can't dance for crap and I have no rhythm- but it was fun to do- it's like a dance/exercise type thing. It was cool though- all girls, so I was comfortable- just bad. I just finished all my English homework, so now I'm going to relax before I go to sleep. Woohooo- I'm all caught up with *everything*. I'm good.

Tuesday, September 10, 2002 04:07 p.m.
I talked to Sebbie, Jen, Bri, and Jared today (in. that order. I think?) and it's just good to keep in touch with people. Yeaa. Maybe I should call my parents. I dunno.

Tuesday, September 10, 2002 08:15 a.m.
Got to class a bit early which happens to be in the computer lab today for math- I forget why but I'm sure it's semi-important. Anyways- a bit tired but today is going to be awesome. After this evil class, go back to the dorm for a bit and get ready for college English and then do that, chill for a bit, eat lunch, go to First Year Seminar (woohooo I love that) do some homework after that if I have any, and tonight at 730 Tracie and I got some people together (well, mostly Tracie did) and we're going to be some volleyball outside the dorms, and then do some exercise class called Zumba or something. Should prove to be fun I hope. That's it.

Tuesday, September 10, 2002 07:21 a.m.
Aaah nice and early. Meeting Tracie (yes that is how to spell her name) for breakfast. Wee!

Monday, September 9, 2002 08:46 a.m.
We're leaving in a few to go do all the stuff I wrote about yesterday and it sucks 'cause I don't know when I'll see my sister again. Probably not for at least another few months.

Sunday, September 8, 2002 10:21 p.m.
Tomorrow- wake up hella early to take shower then go out to breakfast with parents and sister, then take sister to airport. Come home- get my shizznit together and run a few errands- go to the high school to visit a teacher 'cause I'm a big fat dork like that- come home by 330 and go back to school. Now, I think I'm going to read the book High Fidelity for my First Year Seminar. I finished aaaaaaaall my other homework. It's fantastic.

Sunday, September 8, 2002 11:40 a.m.
My stomach should die a fiery death.

Saturday, September 7, 2002 03:31 p.m.
I went to temple this morning for what seemed like forever. There were so many freaking people there- I hate that. When we were finally leaving to get to the car, it was practically impossible to get out of the lobby. Every freaking way I turned somebody was there and I started freaking out. I hate feeling that closed in. I was freaking out. So I finally get the hell out of that God forsaken lobby and go home. Then my mom informs me that she left her sweater in the temple and my dad and I are to go back and retrieve it- of course, I have to fight my way through people when I get there, as I freak out some more. Fantastic, eh? Now I'm doing homework/watching the Agassi/Hewitt match- damn good. I'm going.

Friday, September 6, 2002 10:40 p.m.
I'm hooooooooome.

Friday, September 6, 2002 01:39 p.m.
I just ran into Joe! That's a damn good thing- somebody I know who is a party boy and just cool to hang out with.

Friday, September 6, 2002 09:58 a.m.
My math class sucks. I don't like it. I don't like the way my teacher goes about talking about things, and I just don't like that class. Lord give me strength. At least there are LOTS of hot boys in that class- and I kid you not when I say that I was surrounded by them. Oooooh lordy.

Thursday, September 5, 2002 10:09 p.m.
P.S. I finished my US History homework that's due Wednesday, and I'm about halfway done with the material for Int'l Studies.

Thursday, September 5, 2002 10:06 p.m.
I got to play volleyball tonight (well you know, just passing the ball over the net). Tuugii suggested it, so she, Naomi, and I played right near our dorms. It was so much fun. I got off my lazy butt and did something. This was right after dinner so that was cool- then after dinner and volleyball we went back to Naomi's room to hang out- and her room mates are noisy evil people. I feel bad for her. Now I'm just relaxing, hoping to get some good sleep for my three classes tomorrow. After my first year seminar, I'm home.

Thursday, September 5, 2002 02:32 p.m.
It seems as though I should be getting this material more quickly. Is the TV a distraction- quite possibly.

Thursday, September 5, 2002 12:31 p.m.
Aaah my day off. So far I have accomplished very little. Working on reading and all for my history classes, but it's hard to just sit there and absorb all that blah text. So I'm taking a break. Actually- I should probably get back to that now. Just a thought.

Wednesday, September 4, 2002 06:54 p.m.
Just got back from dinner. Tuugii did come with Brittany and I, along with the girl Tracy whom I just wrote about! So that is always cool. Mmmmm salad for dinner. I think I'm eating much healthier now that I'm in college- hopefully that will help me get un-fat. I still hate my body but I'm getting more used to the fact that I'm not as thin as I used to be. But I'm hoping to change this- eggs in the morning (lots of 'em 'cause protein is good) salad for lunch with a little treat and maybe some meat or a big fat chef salad for dinner! Maybe I should exercise too. What a concept.

Wednesday, September 4, 2002 05:22 p.m.
I hung out a bit with Brittany (my suite mate) today- she's really awesome. She's gonna be my movie buddy and I know we're going to dinner together tonight (hopefully Tuugii will come too!) and maybe watch a movie- but I know that we're definitely going to be hanging out tomorrow. She's only got one class and I have no classes. Woohooo. And speaking of classes- I've got a hella lot of reading to do. I'm about halfway done with the material from my first class (Intro to US History) which I still have another week to complete, and my second class today- Intro to International Studies- I don't know if I like it or not yet. We went over the syllabus, and I like my professor (she's from China) but I dunno if I'm going to enjoy the class. I hope I do. We were put into groups already (alphabetically) for a group project which will include a 10 page paper which is due by the end of the semester, and a presentation to be presented sometime over the course of the semester. Now- I said these groups were divided alphabetically, so I didn't have any say as to the people in my group. It's a group of three. But before I go into the details of my group, let me say that I met a really cool girl in that class and her name is Tracy (I dunno if that's how she spells it) but she is incredibly sweet and another person that I like a lot (so obviously, I think you could gather I was hoping to be in a group with her). Anyways- so the professor divided us- in the group is a girl from Bulgaria (I think), whom I think will be nice and all, and a 50-60 year old woman, Suzanne. When people saw that she was in the class (being with a bunch of 18-22 year olds) she got some weird looks. When she was assigned to a particular group, which of course included me and the other girl, there were some little giggles and whatnot. Oy. This woman seems.. agreeable.. but she's very much just wanting to entirely take over the project which pisses me off a bit. I mean, I'm laid back and know when to take a back seat generally, but I was not really into her suggestions. Bah. Alright I'm done yapping.

Wednesday, September 4, 2002 01:25 p.m.
So I just got back from lunch with Naomi and James- went to the Pavilion for lunch (I got pizza- straying from my healthiness- uh oh.. scale. meh). We then walked to Pine Hall (where both Naomi and James are staying) and I saw what their rooms are like- lemme say this: I'm very happy that I'm in Linden. Not that Pine is bad or anything- but this is definitely more suitable for someone like me. Plus they both tell me that it's incredibly loud over there. I know where to go when I'm gonna want to party, but I'm glad it's semi- quiet here at my dorm.

Wednesday, September 4, 2002 11:33 a.m.
My first class was pretty cool- except for the fact that I couldn't even eat breakfast and my stomach was making such loud noises in the last 30 minutes of class. Oy. I really like the teacher though- too bad the book is boring. I took a lot of notes and all, but I know I should be reading the book also. So. Boring.

Wednesday, September 4, 2002 07:13 a.m.
Off to my first class ever- Intro to US History. Starts at 805 but I need food.

Tuesday, September 3, 2002 08:39 p.m.
So I said before that I didn't want to go to the NYC walking tour- but I take that back. I'm sososososososo glad that I went. It was so much fun. I met some people on there whom I like (one is even in my class with me tomorrow!) and one of my suitemates. She's really cool. So it was just amazing to walk around the city and kind of see everything in a new light I guess. I love that I'm here and I'm liking college more and more now that I'm getting less shy and more friendly with people. So I bought all my books this morning- over 300 bucks- and I still have one more to buy. How ridiculous is that? But we'll see how much ofthem I have to read of them. They're pretty big, you know. Alright, that's enough for now. And it sounds cheesy, but while I was in New York, my cell phone rang- it was Bri. She just wanted to say hi. I really think that made my day.

Tuesday, September 3, 2002 08:30 a.m.
Going to eat breakfast in a few minutes and then buy my books for classes. Get there nice and early before everybody else does and before all the books are gone since classes start tomorrow. I think we missed the walking tour through NYC (which I don't think I wanted to really go on anyways), so hey- no biggie for me! Not feeling so hot, still. Alright heading out.

Monday, September 2, 2002 07:48 p.m.
So I went to the Berrie Center after dinner with Tuguldur to see a sketch comedy show. It started at 7 and will go until 8 I think. Well let me tell you, I was enjoying it SO much- but my stomach had been hurting since dinner- so I had to leave in the middle of it and I still feel like crap. I really wanted to stay 'cause I was laughing just incredibly hard. Bah. I wanted to stay.

Monday, September 2, 2002 05:05 p.m.
I went to go to that meeting for my seminar, and the kids were there (mostly boys woohoooo).... but no person to lead it. So now I'm back here.

Monday, September 2, 2002 12:56 p.m.
The pancakes are quite yummy at the Birch Tree Pavillion (where I ate this morning). I was going to buy my books at the store today for my classes, when I realized it was Labor Day and the store wasn't open. Faaantastic- everybody is going to be rushing for books tomorrow, so I think that I'll try and wake up early, roll out of bed, and just get the things I need before most of the people wake up. It's a plan. I only have two classes on Wednesday (both history classes and random times of the day).... so I can always get the rest of my books in the five hour break I have between my history classes on Wednesday, or any time on THursday since I have no classes. Friday I go home because of the high holy holidays.Yep yep.

Monday, September 2, 2002 09:30 a.m.
Lots of stuff to do today after 11 (brunch) including meetings and whatnot. Oy.

Sunday, September 1, 2002 11:09 p.m.
I know I'm sounding like such a dork, but I love my room mate. She's so sweet and funny and cool and she actually likes the same things as I do. This is working out very well.

Sunday, September 1, 2002 08:04 p.m.
I just went to an alcohol/drug consequence type meeting thing with my room mate, Tuguldur- oy it was boring. But the two of us are going to head on out to play some games a little later on at 9:30. I hope to meet a whole bunch of people once classes begin (Wednesday).

Sunday, September 1, 2002 11:56 a.m.
So I'm at college- it's alright I guess. I don't have an ethernet wire yet in my room for my computer, so now I'm here at the computer labs- which kind of sucks. But my roommate, Tuguldur, is showing me around since she has been here a week longer than I have (she being an international student). Anyways- this place is alright. Maybe it will get better once classes begin.

Saturday, August 31, 2002 08:07 a.m.
Goodbye from my home! I guess I'll be updating next from Ramapo dorms. Eep.

Friday, August 30, 2002 10:50 p.m.
I just watched the movie Amadeus with my parents. Incredibly long, but really good. The music is amazing. I'm a dork for not hating classical music, but hey. Some of it really get you going, I guess. Gotta wake up in... oooh.. ten hours to get ready to move into the dorms. I'm nervous- but I'm not. I can't explain it. I have the butterflies a bit, but it'll be fine.

Friday, August 30, 2002 01:31 p.m.
Ahahahahahaahaha. Look what Jen sent me.

Friday, August 30, 2002 11:24 a.m.
Gonna go with my mom to rent some movies, pick up some things (like a lint brush and whatnot). I got a special breakfast this morning 'cause my mom is adorable, consisting of pancakes. Yes.. just pancakes. Oh so good. I thinnk we're gonna get Monty Python and the Holy Grail for tonight 'cause I love that movie like no other, and maybe one or two others. Who knows. I also have to drop by Emma's house to pick something up and say goodbye- Kerry invited me to go get hot dogs with her, buh I gotta go with my mom- so that's a poop. Bah.

Friday, August 30, 2002 09:13 a.m.
My last day. And it will be spent in my pajamas with my family watching movies and doing nothing of importance. Woohoooo!!!

Thursday, August 29, 2002 10:53 p.m.
Jen called me from Binghamton!!! Her room is bigger than they told her it would be (thank goodness, 'cause it would have been about the size of a shoebox). We talked for 41 minutes (which she decided to call me back to tell me after we had hung up with each other.. she's so cute!). I love my Jen. Eep. Tomorrow I'm gonna say goodbye to my Emma. That's gonna suck too. I don't want to leave her here. Bah.

Thursday, August 29, 2002 09:42 p.m.
I think that one positive thing I've noticed since my friends have left is that I talk to them more. Specifically Jaime. I'm so happy about that. I talk to Bri a bit more also, online, phone calls- and I'm hoping that I'll talk to Jen just as much as I have over this summer- we've been together for practically the entire thing and it's been wonderful. This is a good thing. I hope she made it to college alright and is settled- she left today. Tomorrow is my last day at home. Saturday mornin' I'm up and out of here. Tonight we visited my grammy and that was awesome- she, my mom, my dad, and I played casino (a card game) out in the big room thing. It was nice to see my grammy before I left. I'll miss 'er but I'll be coming home on Friday the... 6th- all because of the Jewish holidays and all. I'll be home for the first two weekends I think after school starts. I don't know if that's such a good thing- I need to get used to the college weekend scene, damn it. I guess I'll have to learn about it in a few weeks.

Thursday, August 29, 2002 09:43 a.m.
I'm nearly positive that we (as in I) are purchasing my cousin Marty's 1994 Honda Civic (manual.. eep). My parents are gonna pay for it for now, and I'm gonna pay them back for it. I hope this works out... until I learn how to drive stick, I'll be able to use our Civic (2002 automatic), but the manual will be MINE. Aaaah! I'M GONNA HAVE MY OWN CAR. Not something that somebody gave to me, but something that *I* bought. On my own. Well- you know. I hope this works out so badly.

Wednesday, August 28, 2002 10:28 p.m.
Bri semi-randomly called me so that made my day!

Wednesday, August 28, 2002 09:27 a.m.
Last night was so much fun with Emma- we picked up "Thumbtanic/Thumb Wars" at Blockbuster. Oh my goodness... I almost peed my pants. "I am a puppet!" Oh lord... then she showed me her "embarassing" music on the computer and some funny ass websites... eh hem.... Y2Khai.com. The videos.. holy bejesus. But today... today sucks. It's my last day to spend with Jen since she's leaving tomorrow morning at 6:00. I'm gonna miss her so much, and she's one of my last friends (who is leaving) to leave. She's the person I have hung out with practically five days a week since the beginning of summer. Ridiculous.

Tuesday, August 27, 2002 09:07 a.m.
Today: gym with Jen, come back to my house and work on giant picture collage that I'm gonna take with me instead of having 25709327532 picture frames, take her home, take shower, meet Jeff (the coworker from daycare) for lunch.... then I get to come home. It will be a nice.. morning/afternoon. We finished a lot more of my packing last night dealing with comsetics, putting my clothes in a duffel bag, and organizing everything. I think we're done, except for the last few things that I can't pack up until last minute. Sweet sweet relief.

Monday, August 26, 2002 06:18 p.m.
I went out with Jen today- went to the gym of course in the morning and then after taking the showers we needed to we went to Target and eventually we bought some free weights there (I got myself two 10 pounders and one 15 pounder). We did the shopping with Chris who claimed shotgun the entire time (evil boy, that's against the rules). We also got Jen's webcam working so we can chat through Yahoo and all and it's nifty. Weehoo!

Monday, August 26, 2002 09:18 a.m.
Mmm... gym time. I only get three more days with Jen- she leaves on Thursday- that sucks like no other. And another problem- I made lunch plans with a co-worker at camp, and I can't remember if it was today or tomorrow. I think tomorrow. I hope.. eep.

Monday, August 26, 2002 01:19 a.m.
Tonight was awesome- Kerry and I went out for sushi, and then we decided to go to Club Abyss out in Sayreville.. my cousin Randy came with us, and it was so much fun. I wish we could have stayed longer.

Sunday, August 25, 2002 02:05 p.m.
Today is automatically a bad day. I'm trying on clothes to bring to college with me... I look at myself and I'm not thin. I used to be thin. Now I've got some baggage. It grosses me out. I don't know how I let myself get this way, but I digust myself. I feel gross.

Sunday, August 25, 2002 11:10 a.m.
Mmmm... I didn't fall asleep until 3 last night. Eep! But I'm refreshed and all. Hmmm... today.. today will be the laziest day I think. I'm not much into the "moving mode".

Sunday, August 25, 2002 02:00 a.m.
I love love love love love late night talks. So much.

Saturday, August 24, 2002 09:16 p.m.
I added some more webcam shots, 'cause I'm that bored. It's me. With my favorite glasses. In.. different clothes... BUT... same general poses. As usual. Woo.

Saturday, August 24, 2002 08:36 p.m.
Even though I'm not leaving until Saturday the 31st, my parents took me out to dinner- my choice. I chose Indian food- oh so good. Oh so yummy. Vegas Vacation is on TBS now, along with Trading Spaces (two full hours woohooo) on TLC. I'm in heaven.

Saturday, August 24, 2002 10:22 a.m.
Eeeh. I finally slept late (for my standards). I've been wanting that for a while. Mmmm... 1000. One week until I leave.. six days 'cause I'm not counting next Saturday which is the day I get there. Jen leaves on Thursday. Nooooo. Seb on Friday. What the crap! I'm the last one of my friends to go.. except for Jes who leaves in September, and Emma of course 'cause she's still gonna be at the high school as a junior. Oy. Going to express with my mom today. hopefully around noon-ish or one-ish, 'cause we have a certificate that is worth fifteen dollars to spend there. I can get more clothes! Weehoooo.

Friday, August 23, 2002 10:29 p.m.
My roommate is here! I dunno if I mentioned her here before, but her name is Tuguldur and she's from Mongolia- we've written through e-mails a few times back and forth, and she seems really cool- I can't wait to meet her. But anyways, she flew over here and is the first international student in our dorm. Aaaaah I can't wait to meet her.

Friday, August 23, 2002 06:25 p.m.
I got perty new tops at Target (along with other things for college) when I went there with Jen before our workout. Aaaah.. sweet sweet credit card- which I actually don't like so much at times... but hey.

Friday, August 23, 2002 11:51 a.m.
Jaime left this morning. We set my alarm for 600 AM so she could shower and get up and catch the plane to New Orleans with her mom and dad. I'm really sad that she's gone.. she's.. well over a thousand miles away. That sucks. But that means I have to go down for Mardi Gras. No doubt.

Thursday, August 22, 2002 10:14 p.m.
More importantly, what do you think of my new layout?! I know it's very similar to the one that I just made for Bri, but I loved the idea, and I love Ben and Jerry's cows.. so there. Deal.

Thursday, August 22, 2002 05:24 p.m.
What do you think of my new glasses?
Glasses glasses glasses glasses.

Thursday, August 22, 2002 02:19 p.m.
Jen and I went to the gym this morning, and barely did any exercising- except we exercised our vocal chords.. we talked to no end and that made me happy. We both had weirdness. Hers even more so. Then we went to Harmon's and picked up a few things (she got some little going away presents for her friends) and I got a little bath loofah thingy and tweezers. Very important indeed. We went to see if my glasses were ready, but they weren't yet, gah. Ate at Manhattan Bagel and we saw Peppel there, so that was cool. Theeen we went to my house, and took some pictures so that I can make her a clock like my Simpsons clock. I'll show you on here when I feel like uploading both the clock and the Jen pictures. Wait... here's the little strip I made of Jen and I. So then we went to Ace Hardware 'cause I was gonna decorate a little clock for Jen also, but they didn't have any. I swear, I thought they sold them, but.. whatever. Jaime and her family are poppin' over later after dinner. I can't wait to see them.

Thursday, August 22, 2002 09:32 a.m.
It's weird that my first friend left for college today. Jaime leaves tomorrow (but thank God she's staying over tonight so I get to see her). I know that Sue-bert leaves on Saturday, Min Sunday, Todd Sunday. It's too weird. Far too weird.

Wednesday, August 21, 2002 06:30 p.m.
She came over to say goodbye.. I didn't cry in front of her, but when she was gone... my goodness. This really sucks.

Wednesday, August 21, 2002 04:38 p.m.
I'm confused, but I'm not confused either. And Bri is leaving tomorrow.. she's gonna drop by and say goodbye. I hope I don't break out crying.

Tuesday, August 20, 2002 07:06 p.m.
Steak.. it's what's for dinner. That and salad. And as it turns out, I'm not getting together with Bri tonight 'cause she's gotta pack. That's a poop.

Tuesday, August 20, 2002 09:32 a.m.
Mmmm.. I could have slept later except for the fact that somebody called the main line at 914 in the morning. I think it was my grandma. Why do people call before 10? Even that's a bit early sometimes. I hope Bri and I are getting together tonight, just to watch a movie or something (which means she'll fall asleep halfway through as is tradition.. heh).

Monday, August 19, 2002 11:46 p.m.
So we went to Houlihans tonight.. it was loud and wonderful. I don't even know how to describe it... so many people were there. I thought it would be easy to leave everybody when I go to college, but I underestimated this all.. I was so sad... *so* sad as Bri was driving me home. I gave Jes a possibly last hug, and I know I'm getting together with Bri tomorrow, but I'm gonna miss her sososososososo much. I didn't even get to hug Min goodbye... and that sucks. I'm gonna miss all these people, and the chances of me seeing most of the kids in attendance is pretty slim I think. I dunno.. that's just a saddening thought. Tomorow morning though I'm getting together with Jen and Chris and Allison are coming also (to the gym) and then I think to play soccer, so I'll bring my camera there. Oh yea... I'll scan these pictures when I get them developed.

Monday, August 19, 2002 03:48 p.m.
We ordered new glasses for me! Ooo, I love them. Plastic brown frames, kind of... emo-ish I guess. I like them. I've never had anything like them. Maybe I'll actually be wearing 'em more often than my contacts. Who knows. I'm happy.

Monday, August 19, 2002 10:15 a.m.
I'm going to get new glasses (finally). Not that I really wear them often at all since I have contacts, but I hate how I look even more when I wear my nasty ass glasses. 6:30 I'm going to volleyball practice with Bri, I guess as 'guests', and then at 830 I'm goin' out to dinner with a few friends. That about wraps up my spantastic freaking day.

Sunday, August 18, 2002 04:49 p.m.
Oh my God. Oh my God. You have to see the layout Jeff made for geekstar.org. Holy crap, I love him.

Sunday, August 18, 2002 11:00 a.m.
I'm talking to Jaime now, whom I have not talked to in a long time.. for this long.. and I'm so happy. I miss Jaime. She's going all the way to Tulane for college.. that's so far. Buuuuh.. you know how it goes.

Sunday, August 18, 2002 10:00 a.m.
Oy, it's far too hot in this room. Anyways, I just got the e-mail from Bri about the Houlihans exstravaganza thingy for before we head on out to college (both her and Min leave this week.. that's too weird). Anyhoo, I'm looking forward to it, but also dreading it- it's gonna be a huge change from the way things used to be, and it's gonna be good for everybody to move on, but sad too. I dunno.

Saturday, August 17, 2002 08:43 p.m.
Body... feeling.. like crap. I visited my grandma today with my mom.. I think I fell asleep on my gram's bed. Eep. It was uncomfy.

Saturday, August 17, 2002 10:29 a.m.
Oooooh... I can barely even move from going to the one time personal trainer yesterday. Plus I got the meningitis shot for college, and my arm hurts badly from that. Bastards.

Friday, August 16, 2002 08:29 p.m.
But when I'm sad, Daniel can make me happy.

Friday, August 16, 2002 05:45 p.m.
My mom is entirely and utterly pissed at me. That's fantastic. It's a fantastic day.

Thursday, August 15, 2002 04:26 p.m.
I hurt so badly right now. Oww. Freaking gym. And other things. Oww.

Wednesday, August 14, 2002 11:20 p.m.
I received an e-mail from my First Year Seminar teacher from Ramapo- I'm taking "Music in Our Lives". I'm really excited about this course- I love my music... I like talking about it... but hopefully I won't be frustrated with the music that other people listen to. And why the hell did my dad just tell me to go to bed? Do I have a bedtime? Am I ten years old? I swear, I truly believe that my parents are trying to keep a tighter grip on me since I'll be leaving soon and they won't have a say in the things I do at college. God, it's like a freaking power trip for them. I'll go to bed when I want, when I'm tired. I woke myself up every morning this summer when I had to go to work, and I was always on time to work. Now that I have officially finished with both of my jobs, let me stay up as late as I damn well please. It's *my* summer, *my* vacation, *my* decision.

But on a positive note, Bri is back from Cape May.

Wednesday, August 14, 2002 07:19 a.m.
Last day of work. I'm actually sad about this one. I wasn't upset at all about the end of daycamp, it was actually a relief. For this, I'm gonna miss Sue and Maryann very very much... I think Jen and I are going to be able to go back when we are able to (college breaks... summer... whatever), but... I will actually miss the job I have so oft complained about.

Tuesday, August 13, 2002 08:25 p.m.
I had soooo much fun. Oh my God. Chris invited me to go play soccer with him at one of the schools. It was Chris, Jared, Jim, James, Andy B., and myself. We just kicked the ball around and putzed about, but it was so much fun. I forgot how much I missed soccer. I didn't suck that badly either, I think I did okay! I want to do it again. Definitely.

Tuesday, August 13, 2002 12:12 a.m.
I had absolutely so much fun today. Jen and I did the gym for an hour, a 9-5 work day (woohoooooo), and then came back to my house and watched Harry Potter. Then I drove Jen home, took a quick shower, and drove over to Jared's house, after talking to a mystery man on the phone when I called Jared, this man claiming to be Leon Phelps, the Ladies Man. It turned out to be Peppel, so all three of us went mini golfing which was oh so fun, to McDonald's and then back to Jared's. Played pool, ping pong... I... my pants were too tight.

Monday, August 12, 2002 07:52 a.m.
Today is going to be oh so hectic. A similar schedule to usual, but... just more. Gym from 8:15 or so until about 9:30 (leaving time to take showers and get ready for work). Straight to work from 10-5 (if we can stick it out that long). Jen and I are coming back to my house afterwards to watch Harry Potter. Then I gotta kick 'er out right after that so I can take a shower and then go out again to go mini golfing. It's a good thing I went to bed pretty early last night.

Sunday, August 11, 2002 06:23 p.m.
So Jen and I went to the gym, but we didn't see any cars .. so we left. Instead, we went to go pick up the gifts we wanted for Sue and Maryann who work in our office. We got an Etch a Sketch, two toe rings, and a get out of work card for Mary Ann, and a CD Player and get out of work card for Sue. I hope they like it.

Sunday, August 11, 2002 12:51 p.m.
Mmmm... Trading Spaces. And I watched Sponge Bob Squarepants this morning! "I've caught the ugly!!!!".. noooo "We stink!" Aaah, so cute.

Sunday, August 11, 2002 12:03 a.m.
I just drove Emma home after beating her in bowling. Twice. Weeee (hehe). We both played pathetically. We then watched "The Mothman Prophecies". It was good. So weird.

Saturday, August 10, 2002 04:03 p.m.
We moved eeeeeverything into my gram's new place which is in NJ (I thought it was in Brooklyn) and it was actually pretty fun. The place is decent I think. Tonight will be oh so nice. I'm going out with Emma to go bowling and watch a movie that sounds pornographic, but it isn't. It's with Jeneane (however you spell her name) Garafullowewoithepowa. I don't know. She's funny, if only she had an easy name to spell.

Saturday, August 10, 2002 08:35 a.m.
We're going to move my grandma into her living place today.. bah. But at least my cousins Andrew and Matt and Aunt Carol are here.

Friday, August 9, 2002 05:00 p.m.
A big Ryder moving van is in our driveway.. tomorrow and Sunday we're moving my grandma into an assisted living facility out in Brooklyn... I'm.. I dunno I'm sad.

Friday, August 9, 2002 08:05 a.m.
It's my last day of work at the daycare center. I'm sooo incredibly happy. I don't think I'll be returning there next summer. I'm just happy it's over.

Thursday, August 8, 2002 09:14 p.m.
I added a few more cam pictures to my webcam section. Woo. I actually.. they're new!

Thursday, August 8, 2002 06:20 p.m.
The SNL episode with Jim Carrey. This is bliss in it's purest and most wonderful form of TV wonder-dom.

Thursday, August 8, 2002 08:01 a.m.
Tomorrow is my last day of work at the daycare. Wednesday at the clerical job. I can't wait for it to be over- the only problem is, I won't be making any more money, which I need- 'cause I'm paying for all my college stuff and whatnot. Pah.

Wednesday, August 7, 2002 11:17 p.m.
I'm sooooo tired. Oh so tired. Must.. sleep.

Tuesday, August 6, 2002 06:05 p.m.
Tomorrow will be good. Going to both my jobs tomorrow, but leaving the second one by three.. gonna work out with Jen for an hour, go to Shop Rite, pick up some salads (oh so good good good) and then head back to her house with a few people and watch Lord of the Rings on DVD which she just picked up today. I can't wait. It will be a giant dork fest of fun.. or something.

Tuesday, August 6, 2002 08:03 a.m.
Dude Where's My Car is on. I don't know if I should laugh or cry about that one. Jen and I- go to gym from 830-930, go to work from 10-12, go to mall from 12-1, work some more, go to gym some more. For anybody who actually cared. Amounting to none.

Monday, August 5, 2002 06:10 p.m.
Me: noooothing, just got home from the gym ::flexes nonexistant muscles::
Me: you?
Emma: ooo you should change your screen name to bufflisa Me: hahahah

I love Emma.

Monday, August 5, 2002 05:43 p.m.
Today was quite a full day. Worked at the daycare from 9-12:30, went to the chiropractor, worked at my filing job from 1-4, and then went to the gym with Jen until now. I'm tired. I'm hungry. And dinner isn't here. Bah.

Monday, August 5, 2002 08:19 a.m.
Mmmm... Somebody's got a case of the Monday's! I tried buying Office Space yesterday, but they didn't have it where I was looking... I had a gift certificate. Rat batards.

Sunday, August 4, 2002 05:12 p.m.
I tried calling Bri on her cellphone earlier today- but nobody answered. Wanted to see how things were going- we haven't really talked since Florida... thats too long. And my Jen is home!

Sunday, August 4, 2002 02:15 p.m.
Aaah.. my cable likes to work when it wants to. And now AOL won't connect. But it's okay, 'cause I've got Yahoo Messenger and I can talk to the person I like to.

Sunday, August 4, 2002 10:32 a.m.
I finally slept past 10. It's a freaking miracle.

Saturday, August 3, 2002 11:13 p.m.
I really mean it when I say, thank goodness for Daniel. he can make me smile and make me feel better like no other. It's unreal.

Saturday, August 3, 2002 10:27 a.m.
Looka looka. I'm a South Park character.

Make one for yourself.

Saturday, August 3, 2002 10:09 a.m.
Because of that fantastic thunder/lightning storm last night, my cable went out. That was no fun. But I had yummy pancakes this morning, and they were oh so good.

Friday, August 2, 2002 09:49 p.m.
Tonight was cool. Jared and I went out to dinner at a pizza place in town after both of us being indecisive and driving around for a bit (he finally made the decision), and then we went back to his house and I actually helped him study for his EMT test that is coming up. We listened to Zeppelin so I was incredibly happy.

Friday, August 2, 2002 04:17 p.m.
I love Sarah. She eats lamb. I don't. I'm one of thooooose people.

Friday, August 2, 2002 02:33 p.m.
So I went to my second job after I went to the chiropractor, and nobody was there to open the office since Sue wasn't there. She was probably out to lunch. So I came home... but that's okay. I have three more days at the day care center, and eight more work days at my filing job. Woohoooo.

Friday, August 2, 2002 08:12 a.m.
Off to work this morning. It's Friday. That makes me so incredibly happy. I think I'll see if Emma can hang out this weekend- I saw her at Dunkin Donuts when i was at TCBY with Jen- Ems was with Erin and Devin, so it was cool to see them again. Anyways- I have a sudden urge for an MST3K movie and/or Silence of the Hams and Texas Chainsaw Massacre, maybe even American Psycho... or Blimpies... or bowling. That is mine and Emma's domain.

Thursday, August 1, 2002 08:33 p.m.
Jeff is awesome at web design. Jeff is making a new layout (much needed) for my beloved domain geekstar. It's got black in it, so I automatically love it, but it will also be all high tech and stuff. I wish I could do what he is capable of. It's amazing.

Thursday, August 1, 2002 05:37 p.m.
I apologize now for whatever pointless entries I may write over the next few days, but I can't stand my page looking so bare and empty. Radiohead is the performer on a good SNL repeat, and I wish Emma was online 'cause they are her favorite band of all time. Little Thom is doing a kind of spastic dance, but somehow it's kind of cute... in a strange kind of way. Bill is going to a Barry Manilow concert tomorrow night- he informed me of this on Tuesday when we were hanging out. I can't believe it. Barry Manilow. I can't help but laugh. Eep! I forgot, I have to pick up my X-rays from the place because they were stupid and had a mix up and they were still at the warehouse. And now my mom wants me to get her and my dad their freaking newspaper and book.. I get to go out. Fun. I hurt. I don't want to move. hwtiohawetpoeiwhtoawp. FUUUUUUUUCK. Okay.

Thursday, August 1, 2002 05:29 p.m.
My entries.. have been archived. My page is so empty. Make it stop! Make it stop! This is all Sarah's fault from Sexynerds. She made me do it.
