Today is going to be a crappy class day. I've got Greek (good), then the craptastic Geology and Calculus. Oh Lord, give me strength. It's supposed to be gorgeous today, though!

Wednesday, September 3, 2003 07:12 p.m.
JKFeinman: i'm terrified by every subject on your schedule
Auto response from JKFeinman:
940-1040 Greek
1050-1220 Latin
220-320 Calculus

Oooh the joy of classes.

Yes... today was fantastic. But really, I think I love Greek, and Latin might rock hardcore. Calculus just might suck, but I think I can deal.

Wednesday, September 3, 2003 08:47 a.m.
I have three classes today, but they're each only one hours. Greek, then Latin right after, and then Calculus. Bleh.. math. Hopefully I'll do as well in that as I did in pre-calc.

Tuesday, September 2, 2003 06:11 p.m.
All of my classes ended up working out for me, so I don't have to change a darn thing about my schedule. That makes me very happy. Geology seems bleh, but I'm entirely anti science. Maybe it won't suck so badly, we'll have to see. Greek actually seems very interesting to me, although it might be a bit difficult. I did all of my homework, and I think I'm going to get the swing of things (hopefully pretty quickly).

Monday, September 1, 2003 05:53 p.m.
My Florida Lauren just called me! My Laur-han Hamilton!!! I don't think anybody knows how happy that just made me.

Monday, September 1, 2003 10:46 a.m.
Happy Labor Day. Jen and I are going to get some breakfast at the dining hall, and then pop out to see if the book store and the Dollar Store are actually open in spite of the holiday. Hopefully the book store will be. I need da boooks. I'm talking to my favorite Jaime ever, so I couldn't be much happier right now. Scott and I watched Spinal Tap last night, and he wasn't a big fan, but he suffered through it. That's a movie I love, but can only watch maybe twice a year at most. Gotta love those guys though.

Sunday, August 31, 2003 12:15 p.m.
So here is what went on yesterday/last night. Went to the University Fest in the morning and bought an awesome poster, which I think I already wrote about: Radiohead's OK Computer. Hung out with Jen and her friends for a while, came back to my room and did nothing. Later on, I went up to Mountainview where Jen lives to get together with her suitemates and some people from her floor. Ate some yummy food, then we all went to Max's floor in Smith. He's an RA there, so he invited us in to see his suite and his floor. A good number of the people left after about half an hour, and it was just Jen, Jason, Max, and I left. We all went up to Mountainside again. Jen decided to go to sleep, but Jason, Max, and I went to some house parties. Tried to find a good one, but I wasn't so impressed. It was much better than being in the room, and I was happy to get out. It was just a bunch of people drinking beer which I hate. Saw Scott at the party we decided to stay at. At around 1215 or something we decided to leave and look for another party. Cops were going up and down the party streets, so we ultimately decided to go back to Max's room and watch Silence of the Lambs. A fantastic movie. Came home by 3 and went straight to sleep. Today, nothing big. Gonna buy my books with Jen. Otherwise, I have no idea what else I'm going to do.

Saturday, August 30, 2003 01:31 p.m.
Went to the University Fest here on campus and bought myself a fantastic Radiohead poster: OK Computer. I hung out with Jen a lot yesterday along with her friends/suitemates. I saw the Matrix Reloaded with Beth, and then Scott came over for a bit and we started to watch Dumb and Dumber. I got tired so he went back. Don't know what's going on today, but it's nasty rainy out there. Blech.

Friday, August 29, 2003 08:39 a.m.
Don't exactly know what is going to go on today, but hopefully I'll be meeting people. All of the returning students move in today, so maybe I'll meet some people my own age. It's kind of sad how my whole floor is freshman. I hope there are a few empty spaces where some sophs and upperclassmen will move into on this floor.

Thursday, August 28, 2003 09:16 p.m.
So I'm here, all unpacked at Binghamton. My roomie is a real sweetheart, I'm just afraid she's going to spend all her time with her boyfriend. We played volleyball together tonight (Beth and I... she's my roomie). She's AWESOME. I'm sosososo happy. Got to see my Jen for a little bit today which rocked. I'm just kinda shy to go up to everybody's door and knock and meet people. Everybody on our floor except for Beth, our RA, and I are freshman. By the way, we lucked out. Only five people in our suite. PERIOD. The RA has the other room, so she doesn't get a roommate. Five girls and one bathroom isn't as bad. I think I will go meet people. Bye bye!

Wednesday, August 27, 2003 01:05 p.m.
Yeah, so I went to Best Buy to get a few DVD's, and I ended up with eight. Donnie Darko, High Fidelity, Ghostbusters II, Galaxy Quest, This is Spinal Tap, The Shining, The Birdcage, and Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. I'm LEAVING TONIGHT!

Wednesday, August 27, 2003 12:03 a.m.

I miss my friends already. Jaime is having a fantastic time at Tulane (and I'm sosososo happy for her, you don't even know). Min has a fantastic apartment, and I head out in about 18 hours for Binghamton. I have A LOT of stuff. Our living room is an amazing pile of crap that I intend to bring with me. There's also clothes on hangers all over the bed upstairs. We'll definitely be needing the two cars to bring all this stuff up. Dinner was fantastic- we went to a place called the Metro Grill in Denville. i had a tofu and vegetable stir fry which was oh so scrumptious. What am I doing today? Getting eyebrows waxed, returning a pair of shoes, picking up contacts, getting last minute things together, packing car, and leaving for college! I can't wait for people to come visit me. Hopefuls: Brian and Andrew, Derick, the Key Three. My Jen will already be there, so I've got that made. I'm also hoping to visit Jaime down in Tulane sometime this year. How hot would that be? If I don't update later today (although I'm pretty sure I will), I'll be writing again from New York. Good night.

Tuesday, August 26, 2003 02:12 p.m.
This morning I accomplished much in the ways of shopping. I bought a fantastic pair of shoes that go perfectly and beautifully with my black polka dotted dress, a pair of black ankle boots, two belts, and a makeup case. I made out like a bandit. I'm in love with the new shoes like you don't even know. I then went to visit my Grammy Mattie so say goodbye to her before I leave for Binghamton. We just sat around and talked for about an hour and a half. I love her very very much! I'm gonna miss her muchly. Tonight I'm going out to dinner wtih my parents and grandparents as a goodbye to me. We're going to a vegetarian restaurant in Denville. Finally, a varied menu for me! Muahahaha. I'm sick of ordering salads.

Monday, August 25, 2003 10:39 p.m.
Today was absolutely *hectic*. I pretty much started running errands right after I woke up. I had to go to the dermatologist, but I found out that the office had moved, so I had to make an appointment for the doctors to get a new prescription. I went to pick up new lenses at the eye doctor, but I discovered that I hadn't had an eye exam since March 2002. I made an appointment for the eye exam at one but had to run straight to do the doctor's office from there for my appointment. I waited for 20 minutes, and the doctor was only in for about three. He wrote me my prescription, I dropped it off at CVS, and went to my optomestrist. I needed a stronger prescription, so he ordered me some new contacts which I'm picking up Wednesday. Came home, showered, relaxed for a bit, went out shopping with Jen to pick up a few necessary things, came home, ate dinner, went shopping with my Mom and Grandma and it was an absolute failure. I'm never finding the right shoes or shirts. Damn it! Came home and watched Inside the Actor's Studio: The Simpsons with my Mom and Dad. We taped it, and it made me laugh so hard I cried. Quote of the night: "If I ever find out who you are, I'm gonna shove a sausage down your throat and stick hounds up your butt!!" ~Moe.

Sunday, August 24, 2003 10:36 p.m.
I went to the Dutchess County Fair with my parents and grandparents- it was alright, but I had to push my Grandma up and down hills while she sat in her wheelchair (which absolutely sucked and killed my legs). Had some damn good food, smelled some damn stinky animals, and then headed back. Here's the best thing; we passed Derick's school while we were driving up, so I gave him a call and we decided to meet up at Applebee's after we left the fair. He works there as a host. Derick is my buddy from the College Program! So I got to see him on the way back which was just so nice and he gives the absolute BEST hugs. I got my CD's back from him which rocked. We're going to try to get him to get to Binghamton sometime in mid September. Sososo happy. Packed a little bit o' stuff, so I think I'm doing pretty well. Not too much more to do, I guess. I say that now, but that will all change once the mad rush is on to pack last minute things.

Saturday, August 23, 2003 10:02 p.m.
I just said goodbye to Bri, Min, and Jes. It didn't really hit me that everybody was not going to be here until I stepped into my door. This just sucks... I had a great time with the girls at Starbucks, but it was cut short because Bri and Min had to pack. They leave TOMORROW. I'm honestly just extremely sad right now.

Saturday, August 23, 2003 09:30 a.m.
Today: possibly shopping with Min at Mandees. At night a dessert with just the original four; Bri, Min, Jes, and I.

Friday, August 22, 2003 11:23 p.m.
JKFeinman: talk to you soon bingy sluuuuuuuuut
Boothlisa: byyyyyye my skanky ho!

I'm going to miss my Jaime... she leaves for New Orleans tomorrow. We had a really nice conversation. PLUS I found out that if she had decided to come to Binghamton, she was also going to be living in Lehman. Damn it! I talked to my roomie Beth some more, and I really think we're going to get along. I like her more and more!

Friday, August 22, 2003 10:04 p.m.
After a bumpy start, we ended up having a great night out. What was gonna be a Caldwell goodbye ended up being Caldwell and other people goodbye dinner, but it was just a spantastic night. I spent most of the day with Min shopping around- bought two new pair of pants, some chap stick and some Homer mints. We went to our respective homes to freshen up, and then Min and I went to Applebees down on 46 where we were to meet the gang for our dinner. Brianna had called ahead at around 630 to tell them that we'd be a party of ten so they could be ready for us. Min and I got there at around 710 (way too early) so we went into the restaurant to tell them that we were there. That was 710. Everybody actually showed up ON TIME! It was Min, me, Bri, Phil, Andy, Andie, Jes, Leanne, and Vinnie. We went in again to tell them that the whole party had arrived. They said it would be about twenty minutes. We waited patiently, going in occasionally two at a time to check the status of our table. They kept seating tables of two's, four's, and even an eight. It got to be about an hour or more, and they still hadn't seated us. Brianna and Andie complained to the hostess who was an absolute bitch. Everybody was so pissed off that we left anyways. Bri ended up calling back later on to complain to the manager about our situation, and he gave two free dinners. Hardcore. We then decided to go to Park West Diner a little further down on 46; we were STARVING. That turned out to be much better and quicker- too bad we were separated into two booths, but we were right next to each other. It was a fantastic night.

Friday, August 22, 2003 12:56 p.m.
So here's what I got for my Mom for her upcoming 50th birthday- a Lladro figurine (these things are gorgeous and she loves them), and the Escada Ibiza Hippie perfume. The Lladro piece is a little kid who just came out of the bath with a towel wrapped tightly around her body and hair with the cutest little sour looking face you ever saw. I hope the Mom loves it!

Thursday, August 21, 2003 06:38 p.m.
I had to get a shot which absolutely sucked. Now I've got this nasty little black and blue mark on my forearm. Blech. My Dad and I took a trip down to Spring Lake so we could look at the little bed and breakfast that my Dad booked as a surprise getaway for him and my Mommy. It's her 50th birthday on September 3rd. I'm desperate to think of the most perfect gift for her, but I don't know what to get. Oy.

Thursday, August 21, 2003 10:15 a.m.
I've said it once and I'll say it again; I have absolutely no God damned patience for my Grandparents and their phone calls that start at 930 in the morning. Every freaking five minutes the phone rings and I have to pick it up, because they refuse to. They say it's not their house (although it seems that they're taking it over) so they feel it's rude of them to pick up. They're going to be here for about five God damned months, they've been here for about two and a half already, and they still won't take on a simple responsibility of picking up the God damned phone- it's for them 95% of the time, and it's NEVER for me. Why the fuck am I the one who has to run around the house answering, relaying messages, taking messages. FUCK IT ALL. I don't want to be the one who has to keep my grandparents separated when they're mad at each other. My Grandma is always putting me down somehow, whether it be how she implies that I'm fat and need to lose a few pounds by saying how she's still losing so much weight, or she tells me that my skin looks bad and I'm breaking out, I have no patience (which I don't, and I find that what little patience I do have is waning), and I always feel like she's comparing me to my Mom. "Your Mom is such a wonderful lady." "Your Mom is the best person that I know." My Mom is a great person and I love her to death, but I HATE when I am compared to anybody. Don't judge me against my Mom, or anybody else for that matter. I am NOT my Mom, we are entirely different people. I always feel like such a bad person when I'm around my Grandparents, and sometimes I really believe that I am. Just being in their presence gets me upset. I avoid them throughout the day by staying in the computer room, or watching DVD's on my laptop in my bedroom; I won't even venture into the living room to watch a movie on our big screen. If I want to watch TV, I'll try and stay upstairs in my parents bedroom. I love them, but they just PISS ME OFF. I need to go to school, I need to NOT be here, I need to be around people who won't give me so much God damned stress that I cry because I hate being here. Oh yeah, and my Dad just called and I need to get a shot. I hate needles more than you know. It's going to be a fantastic fucking day. Cheers.

Wednesday, August 20, 2003 10:21 p.m.
So I hung out with Todd this afternoon and he made me listen to Easy (Eazy?) E... oy vey that's some dirty dirty stuff. Came home, my cousins came over which was very cool. Ate some dinner with them, then Bri picked me up and we went out to the high school to watch our volleyball gals. They are going to be SO good this year.. I'm truly hoping I get to come home for some of their games. Especially state games, which I'm positive they will make. They look great. Bri then came over and we watched The Princess Bride; she soon fell in love with the movie and its star, Cary Elwes. Oh so shexy.

Wednesday, August 20, 2003 10:42 a.m.
So since my grandparents are fighting all the time, I'm the one who actually (literally) has to keep them separated. I have to do one thing with my Grandpa, and then something entirely different with my Grandma. My Mom doesn't even consider the fact that I have plans today, because apparently it doesn't really matter. Fuck anything I have to do.

Tuesday, August 19, 2003 11:01 p.m.
And the new layout is up and running.

Tuesday, August 19, 2003 02:13 p.m.
So yesterday made me oh so happy. I received a phone call in the early evening, but I had no idea who it was at first. His voice sounded *so incredibly familiar* but I just couldn't place it. It turned out to be my buddy Jemale from the college program! I miss that boy, he was such a chill and awesome kid. We ended up talking for a good while- he's back at school now and doing well. It just made my day to hear from him. Yeaa! I also talked to Lisa P., whom I haven't spoken with since the very beginning of the summer. I'm really bad at keeping in touch with people... truly it's something I need to work on. That and I talked to my new roomie from Binghamton- she seemed nice! We'll see how things go.

Monday, August 18, 2003 09:24 a.m.
Why does everybody call or come to the house SO early in the morning? The cleaning ladies got here at 830, and now the grandparents' doctor is here. Lord..

Sunday, August 17, 2003 08:49 a.m.
"the undwear bparty is new bout to be laid to rest sfor the nite so ... goodnite my drunkend pals!" Away message from Min. That about sums up the night.

Saturday, August 16, 2003 03:24 p.m.
Had an awesome morning and it will be an even better night. Went to the beach right near Spring Lake with Min, Andy, Andie, Keith, Jen, and Ben and had just a great time. It was scorching hot out there, so we were in the water pretty quickly. That's where we spent most of our time. There was a crazy shelf in the ocean, and Min and I kept getting screwed over by it- we were the midgets of the group. I'm her boyfriend. Anyhoo, Andy was a jerkface and managed to unsnap my bikini top which came off which was really not nice, but Min and I got him with the purple nerple action. It was just such a good time- we ate some food, read a little (barely), and then it looked like it was going to rain so we came home. Going to Min's tonight again which will be... fantastic.

Friday, August 15, 2003 10:01 p.m.
So what's going on tonight/tomorrow? Min's house for a bit o' fun once she gets back from babysitting. Gonna sleep over there, and go to the beach tomorrow morning with Andy, Andie girl(I think), Keith, and Matt. It should be a spantastic night and a fun day. Wooohoooooo.

Friday, August 15, 2003 10:26 a.m.
Must get out of the house. Somebody get me out!

Thursday, August 14, 2003 08:42 p.m.
The power outage is absolutely outrageous. My Aunt Carol has been stuck at her office in NYC and can't go home until the traffic lights go on and the 59th Street Bridge opens... or whatever bridge it is... 50 something. I feel so bad for her... she's claustrophobic. Not a good thing being stuck in that building for so long, and then straight to the car. Oy... such a mess.

Thursday, August 14, 2003 12:07 a.m.
Nikhil and I went to Min's house tonight to watch "Wet Hot American Summer". My kind of movie, indeed. Tomorrow... well today actually... is going to be a day of Jen and I. I'm gonna teach her how to drive my car since it's stick, we're gonna get some Shop Rite salads, watch the extended version of Lord of the Rings ('cause we're such fat dorks) and then I just don't know. A nice day, indeed.

Wednesday, August 13, 2003 08:57 a.m.
Last day of work. Last day of work. Last day of work. LAST DAY OF WORK!!!! Thank goodness.. oy. Yesterday was very very cool, aside from work. Jen came to my house afterwards and we made our official going away gifts for Sue and Joe. We made a mosaic mirror for Sue which came out absolutely adorable (we always joke how she loves to look at herself). For Joe, we got GI Joe doll, opened it up, put him in the office setting, and made it hardcore personalized. A Joe to deal with the crap in the office of Redi Mail. Later that night, Bri and Min came over and we watched a bit of Season Three Sex and the City, but then decided to run to Bri's to watch the past two episodes of this season since she has that TiVo type thing at home. Sooo happy to see the episode I missed while in Florida. We also made plans! Maybe girls night with Min tonight, Friday at Min's, Saturday beach and then Min's, then Wednesday... NYC! Excellent stuff in store.

Tuesday, August 12, 2003 12:16 a.m.
I was given permission to write what happened. I got together with Todd tonight because it was his birthday on the 10th- I guess he liked the Mexican hat! Anyhoo, we end up driving around for a good hour just talking and listening to the sounds of My Chemical Romance or something like that. Crazy stuff, I tell you. Anyhoo, since there was nothing else to do, we go back to my house. Todd stops the car in his normal spot across the street from my house. We begin to kiss and everything, and a few seconds later, we stop kissing. "Are we moving?" He had forgotten to put the car into park and put on the emergency break, so we had started to roll down the street. The most classic moment ever.

Monday, August 11, 2003 09:31 a.m.
New Jersey. Disgusting. I do love the rain, but what the hell?! Every day it absolutely pours down with no mercy. Make the bad man stop. Alright, so I guess now I'll finally update on what went on in Florida. I just had a great time, overall. I got to see all the people I wanted to see, did everything I wanted to do, and it just rocked my socks. I stayed with my sister whom I love love love. We got to hang out a lot more than I expected- we watched movies, went shopping, ate out; it was a great time. I saw Mark and we went out to grab a bite at this awesome Mexican food place, but went to see Pirates of the Carribean before that. That movie was so incredibly good; want to see it again. I saw my beloved Diany, but she had to work every day that I was there, so I was unable to spend a lot of time with her. She's decided to live in Florida and stay in Orlando. She's moving into a new apartment on the 15th, so I loaned her some money for the down payment. I just feel happy that I could help her get into the apartment. I hope she loves it there. I saw a lot of my roommate of 72 hours, Amanda. I had such a good time with her. Amanda, Diany, and I went to Epcot and rode Mission Space which was finally open to the public. After that, Diany had to go to work, so Amanda and I just walked around Epcot and went to all the countries. Mexico was the best by far. We made dinner reservations for the late evening so when we got out we could watch Illuminations. At Mexico, we both bought the best things ever. She bought a bright and colorful sombrero that was literally about 3.5 feet in diameter. I, on the other hand, bought this tiny little straw hat (as a birthday gift to Todd... so if you read this, just pretend you didn't see what I just wrote.. yep) with Mexico on it. We walked around with our hats and got the best comments and stares. Went on the monorail to kill some time and just look around the Disney property. We got off at the Polynesian resort. We each bought a lei. With our hats and leis in hand, we got some more wonderful looks. We just didn't care what we looked like, and I think that was just an awesome feeling. I usually actually care if I look stupid to other people or not, but at that point it just didn't matter to me. My last night there, Amanda and I went to PI (Pleasure Island). Unfortunately, Diany couldn't come because she had to pack. But I had a damn good time with Amanda. We stayed in Motion the entire night. There, I saw my bud Jason whom we hung out with for the rest of the night. I never knew it, but that boy can dance like no other. I would never suspect that about him because he's just one tall adorable guy. But damn, he just impressed the hell outta me. The three of us were dancing all night, and that was definitely a good way to end it. Amanda and I wore our leis, so you can imagine that we got some comments on them from dirty old men. Yuck. So after PI that night, I was dropped off by Amanda at Cheers, the club where my sister and her boyfriend were playing darts. I got in there even though you've got to be 21, and just sat around with my sister. We left there and went back to Budd's (her boyfriend) and I was asleep by 330. Emily was supposed to wake me up at 7 so we could get to the airport by 730 or so. My flight was supposed to leave at 825. 715 rolls around, I wake up on my own, and I'm spazzing because we should have left for the airport by then. I pounded on her door and started bitching at her. She thought for some reason that we were supposed to leave in half an hour. I could have died. We hauled ass to the airport, Emily still in her PJ's, but I made it on time for my flight. That was a hectic way to end things. Now... I'm home and it's nasty. That's all. Off to work for my last official week.

Sunday, August 10, 2003 08:32 p.m.
I dunno if this is just in my family, but why is it that every time I sit down somewhere to watch a movie/TV, somebody in my family decides to sit down right there next to me and talk to somebody really loudly on the phone. Of all the other places to be in the house, they have to sit right there. It really pisses me off.

Sunday, August 10, 2003 06:56 p.m.
School is looming- just around the corner. I'm excited to go back, but I haven't really been in school since December- my class at Disney does *not* count as actual work. I got a postcard from Bri today!!! That was pretty much the highlight. Oh oh oh, and relating to Bri... volleyball. They had pro beach volleyball on TV today- I got sucked in. I miss playing.

Saturday, August 9, 2003 08:05 p.m.
I spent the entire day in the city. My grams had bipass surgery, so we visited her in the hospital and she is doing wonderfully. Dad and I took a time out and went to the museum. Had a really nice time there. We made fun of scary big furniture. Tonight... dinner at home with some hardcore Trading Spaces.

Friday, August 8, 2003 02:31 p.m.
I'm home. I'm tired. I had an awesome time in Florida which I will talk about later.

Monday, August 4, 2003 12:55 p.m.
Tonight I'm gonna grab a bite to eat and go to see Pirates of the Carribean with Mark! Should be very very fun.

Monday, August 4, 2003 12:19 a.m.
I'm in Florida at my sister's humble abode. I'm alive! Woohooo. We're doing facemasks.

Sunday, August 3, 2003 09:18 a.m.
Tonight.. I leave for Florida! MUAHAHAHA! So excited, started packing last night. Jen called me at 1130 from Vegas, where it was only 830... had I been sleeping I would have kicked her butt. It was good to hear from her though. I told her that I found out I'm leaving in Lehman in Hinman College when I get to Binghamton (all the dorms are called "colleges"). It's all good stuff comin' my way.

Saturday, August 2, 2003 07:51 p.m.
So I went shopping with my grandparents and mom today, and I ended up making out like a bandit. I got ten new pair of undies (woohooo!), two new amazing skirts, a winter purse, and a hat. It was a beautiful day for shopping.

Saturday, August 2, 2003 09:14 a.m.
It's my last full day at home! Woohooo. Don't have too much to do, just a few errands. Otherwise, maybe I should actually start to pack. What a novel idea.

Friday, August 1, 2003 02:01 p.m.
Brianna called me earlier from Cape May telling me that her grandma is in the hospital. She sounds *really* shook up about it. Her grammy is feeling pretty decent, but they think she may have had a stroke. I'm sure everything will be okay with that, 'cause her grams is a fiery lady. No worries my dear. Tonight, I may or may not go to a movie or something with Min. I really want to, but she's going to see Pirates, and I promised I'd see that with my friends in Florida, and not see it beforehand. GAH. And by the way.. I just talked to Diany and I am SO INCRDIBLY EXCITED. I leave on Sunday night for about a week of wonderful..ness. I am more excited than I can put into words.

Thursday, July 31, 2003 12:00 a.m.
Today was just tons of fun... that is, after I went out with Min. She called me after reading my away message. She thought it would be a good idea to go shopping and eat dinner. And it was- we went to Willowbrook and did a bit of browsing. She got a really cute utility jacket and a sweater. I'm jealous. We then ate dinner- I had the cucumber roll, and she had pizza. These are very important facts you need to know. We continued to shop, and I came to find the most perfect thing that I had to buy for my family, for no reason at all. It's Jeopardy... the Simpsons version. Combining our two favorite things. THEN Min and I came back to my house, decided to watch Sex and the City, but at her house. We went to Shop Rite to pick up some goods, specifically some cookie dough to eat while watching. Min *forgot* the DVD's at my house, so we had to run on back. Got to Min's, scarfed some cookie dough, then Nikhil came over and had the quote of the night, properly placed in Min's away message:
Auto response from X mincore: "where would you go to buy a scissor? I mean, everyone just has one" spoken by a very "special" boy. ahem!
I had a really nice time out, and thanks to Min I didn't kill my family! Thank you, my dear. PLUS, I'm going to have to visit her in her new NY apartment when college starts. It will be spantastic. My last day of work with the kiddies. Woohooo!

Wednesday, July 30, 2003 04:41 p.m.
Why is it that my grandparents are SO GOD DAMNED IRRITATING?! They got on my last fucking nerve sometimes. I love them, but they have to leave me the hell alone sometimes.

Wednesday, July 30, 2003 03:32 p.m.
Aaah, tomorrow I just have to go to the daycare, and then no more work for over a week. It's a beautiful thing. So excited about going to Florida!

Wednesday, July 30, 2003 07:41 a.m.
I think today will be my last full day of work (going to both jobs). Since Jen won't be at Redi Mail on Thursday or Friday, I don't think I will go either. If I'm truly bored, maybe I'll pop over, but tomorrow all I'm gonna do is go to the day camp in the morning and then go home and SLEEP.

Tuesday, July 29, 2003 08:09 a.m.
I woke up this morning and the left half of my bottom lip is really really swollen. I've got Angelina Jolie lips for 1/4 of my lips. WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH ME

Monday, July 28, 2003 10:48 p.m.
So it's not an eye infection or anything, it's just that I've been wearing my contacts too much, and my eyes became heavily heavily irritated. Just have to lay off the contacts for a few days, and I should be okay! Bri called me to discuss Sex and the City, even though she's aaaall the way down in Cape May. That made me happy.

Monday, July 28, 2003 08:05 a.m.
My eye is feeling much better now, but I'm just so tired from not really going to sleep until 3. Off to work...

Monday, July 28, 2003 02:51 a.m.
I just got back from a fun trip to the emergency room with my Dad. At about 1000, my eye started to feel funny, like something was in it. It was more of an annoyance than a pain. At around 1100, my left eye started to tear like crazy and I was in crazy pain. I couldn't sleep, because of the pain I felt because it felt like something was caught in my eye. I tried to flush it out with my own tears, water, and Visine, but nothing worked. I ended up waking my Dad who took me to the ER. They gave me a kind of pain killer drop for my eye which is wearing off as we speak, and an antibiotic. They're treating it as an infection of my eye. Gotta go to the eye doctor tomorrow to get it checked out. It's not a scratch or anything, I just don't know what it is. Have a fantastic night.

Sunday, July 27, 2003 08:00 p.m.
Today has thus far rocked. At about one, Min picked me up and we took a trip on out to Ikea! It makes me want to redecorate my room like you don't even know. We ended up leaving with no furniture or accessories, but some fantastic vanilla wafers that we ate on the car ride home. our next stop was CD World, where Min picked up some tickets to the Bouncing Souls show in NY in September. And then came my weakness stop... Best Buy. I went crazy. I got a DVD tower, Braveheart, Father of the Bride II, Coming to America, Sex and the City: Season 3, and Mrs. Doubtfire. Very happy with the purchases though. I've only got a few more DVD's that are on my must have list. And tonight, Min will be popping over again for the new episode of Sex and the City, and we'll be making some 'sexual smoothies'. It's good stuff.

Saturday, July 26, 2003 11:10 p.m.
Yep... I did nothing today and it sucked.

Saturday, July 26, 2003 08:28 a.m.
I think I'm helping Min paint her house today which will be hardcore! Otherwise, I have absolutely no plans for this weekend which will be nice. Have fun for a zillion weeks while you're not home, Bri. Dern you- going to the Springsteen concert.

Friday, July 25, 2003 09:59 p.m.
Let me just tell you that I had the most awesome, fun, and wonderful evening out with Jes and Bri. It was too cool and funny for words. We went to TGIF's for dinner and had the absolute best waiter ever. He gave us so much free stuff and was really attentive- we loved him. I heard many many stories from Bri and Jes that absolutely cracked us all up. I dunno how to describe it, it was just one of those great nights.

Friday, July 25, 2003 09:18 a.m.
Babysitting last night was alright. The boys (whom I used to babysit for years ago) were really good, but Dalia barely listens to me. It's irritating. The parents said they'd be home at 10, but they didn't get back until 1130. Not that I minded, but they didn't tell me. Today, the filing job with Jen, but at lunch we're going to go have some Indian food! Woohooo.

Thursday, July 24, 2003 01:32 p.m.
I got my laptop!!!!!

Thursday, July 24, 2003 08:19 a.m.
AND, if you girls are reading this.. I want to do a city trip or something. Let's go somewhere and do something. Pleeeeeease.

Thursday, July 24, 2003 08:11 a.m.
I'm babysitting for the first time in a loooooong time tonight. For the same kids I used to normally sit for and everything, it's just kinda weird.

Wednesday, July 23, 2003 04:27 p.m.
Jen and I are addicted to shopping- it's not a good thing. I bought a pair of pants and shorts from American Eagle for 27 bucks in total, and a dress from the GAP for 10 bucks. How hot is that?

Tuesday, July 22, 2003 06:29 p.m.
So what did I buy today?? Escada perfume which is *so* nice for about 50 bucks. Then I spent 24 dollars on four wonderful shirts. Oh so happy!

Tuesday, July 22, 2003 08:05 a.m.
Ooooh back to work. I liked not working. On the ride home yesterday from Binghamton, I actually talked to Mark from Florida for quite a while! It makes me so excited to be going in two weeks.

Monday, July 21, 2003 08:20 p.m.
Orientation at Binghamton went really well and I had a great time! My roommate was absolutely awesome- her name was Jen and she was from Pennsylvania. Oddly enough, we were the only out of staters in our group, and we were put in the same room together. Go figure! We just got along extremely extremely well and I had an awesome time just hanging out with her. They had some informative crap, some ice breaking type things going on where I met a few cool kids. I registered for classes and I got everything I wanted! Readings in Latin Literature, Greek 101, Geology of the Solar System, and Calculus I. I think it will be a great semester. Now I've got to shower and unpack. Hasta!

Sunday, July 20, 2003 08:28 a.m.
Off to the Binghamton transfer orientation. I don't really know how to feel about it.. kinda nervous, but not entirely.

Saturday, July 19, 2003 06:18 p.m.
Yeah, I'm B-O-R-E-D.

Saturday, July 19, 2003 09:55 a.m.
I have no plans for today. It will be boring- my Mom wants me to go to Trader Joes with her and my Grandma. She walks too slow for me to get out of there quickly enough with my sanity. That and she just yaps too much. My Grandma and Grandpa don't understand that in the morning when I've just woken up, I *hate* talking. I need just peace and quiet for a while before I even begin thinking about talking. Of course, the second I wake up and I see my Grams or Gramps in the kitchen, they start blabbing away at me. My Mom has even told them that I hate to talk in the morning- she found out the hard way. This morning was absolutely no different.

Friday, July 18, 2003 10:57 p.m.
Alright, so awesome night with the love of my life, Brianna (hehehe). We got a Blimpie's Best for her, a mega salad and some fruit for me at Shop Rite, and then back to my house for some Sex and the City: Season Three. I don't think I've ever laughed so hard at an episode, and I don't think I've ever been so pissed at Carrie and Charlotte. God, I'm pathetic- it's like I think they're real people, but Bri and I both wanted to smack the screen and knock some sense into these women. BAH. Monday or Tuesday night is the next date for us to hopefully complete the season (or get close to it). We're about half way through all the episodes. Funky spunk. I have meat in my lap!

Friday, July 18, 2003 02:38 p.m.
Uhh... my car needs a $500 repair. I... am not happy.

Friday, July 18, 2003 09:08 a.m.
Bri and I. Tonight. Sex and the City. It's going to be fantastic! We're going to order in a pizza and just stuff our faces in front of the TV. I got so much sleep last night and I'm tired as hell. I want food now.

Thursday, July 17, 2003 01:20 p.m.
Girls night was so much fun. Bri and I drove to the Park West Diner on 46 where we met up with Min and her friend from college, Rachel who happened to be incredibly sweet. We had some good eats, and proceeded to go play pool at Breakers. I didn't suck entirely this time, and in fact I made a few good shots. Min and Bri decided to be a team since they thought they'd kick our asses. Rachel and I won every time I think (hehe). Every time they had to call a pocket for the 8 ball, they scratched. It was so effortless for our team. Muahahaha. Now I'm going to relax.. mmmm.

Wednesday, July 16, 2003 07:55 a.m.
Going back to work today. Oy vey is mir... just day care though. After that, I'm gonna come home and crash on my couch, and make a few phone calls. We ordered my lap top from Dell, but they're sending all the e-mail information to my old AOL e-mail account which doesn't exist anymore.. phone call number one. Tonight- girls night!

Tuesday, July 15, 2003 07:38 p.m.
"at the sick one's house watching season three of sex and the city - our poison - although i am instructed not to kiss her since she has mono....whats the fun in that?" Yep.. Bri is on her way over to my house. Hehehe.

Tuesday, July 15, 2003 06:16 p.m.
I got my haircut and it looks DAMN good. I also spoke with Todd on the phone for a bit today which was cool. Haven't spoken with him in a long time. Bri is coming over tonight so we can watch the third season of Sex and the City. Wwoohoo. But I'm honestly tired as hell.

Tuesday, July 15, 2003 09:34 a.m.
Every time the God damned phone rings in this house it's for my grandparents, yet they never ever want to pick it up. I *know* it's not going to be for me, so I'm waiting three or four rings (which is incredibly annoying because there are 14,000 phones in my house and they're all far too loud) but they don't pick up the phone! It's always their freaking doctors or friends calling from Florida. I'M SO SICK OF BEING STUCK INSIDE AND AT HOME. GET ME THE FUCK OUT OF HERE.

Monday, July 14, 2003 10:54 p.m.
I missed Brian (from Florida but lives in PA) being on! He left me the away message: "Look! I'm on twice in one month!" That's crazy for him. Bah, I miss my Brian and Andrew.

Monday, July 14, 2003 02:42 p.m.
Oh... and.. just so you know: I do have mono. They got the Epstein Bar back (whatever the hell that is) and that was positive which means I do have mono, but I'm towards the end of it. How the *hell* did I get mono?! And when will it be gone?

Monday, July 14, 2003 10:34 a.m.
I don't have mono! WOOHOOOO. I still don't know what I have though. Grr.

Monday, July 14, 2003 08:34 a.m.
Instead of sitting on my ass all day, maybe I'll go get a haircut. How's that for an idea? Mmmmmm... haircut. I also find out (hopefully) what the hell is wrong with me. I'll call the doctor's office at around 11 or so and see what my results are.

Sunday, July 13, 2003 11:44 a.m.
I don't think I can take another day of just sitting on my ass. I need to GET OUT.

Saturday, July 12, 2003 07:44 p.m.
I've just been able to sit on my ass all day and watch TV so irritating. I want to get out, but I feel like absolute shit still.

Friday, July 11, 2003 01:42 p.m.
Yeah, guess who *might* have mono. Me. Yeaah.

Thursday, July 10, 2003 10:03 p.m.
I have a 103 degree fever. Yeaa.. and I'm talking to Brian and Andrew- my best buds from the Disney program! It doesn't get much better.

Thursday, July 10, 2003 08:11 a.m.
I'm not working tomorrow, so today is my Friday. Aaaah, that feels good. I just wish work were over.

Thursday, July 10, 2003 12:08 a.m.
I feel like SHIT! But had a nice girls night out (even though it was short and I sat in the corner with back cramps). Bri and Min play some excellent pool. Hehe.

Wednesday, July 9, 2003 08:12 a.m.
My attempt to put on this make-up is semi pathetic. Ooooh, I'm going to be a bad bad bad mother. I won't be able to teach my daughter how to do her hair, make-up, or anything girly. I was *never* girly.

Tuesday, July 8, 2003 11:40 p.m.
Spent the night out cruising with my girls. Min, Bri, and I took a trip to Target. There, they introduced me to something called make-up. I have never worn make-up as an every day type thing, so I may start making a habit of it. I won't be so nasty looking? Then we went to the mall- Min got some cute shirts at Express, and we just looked around at a few stores. I'm trying to find a relatively inexpensive, but really nice perfume. Any suggestions? Then we decided to go to a diner we've never been to before. We went down 80 West and I was given the honor of picking an exit. We ended up going towards Sparta and ate at this really cute littler diner. We just talked and talked and ate. It was wonderful. Girls night out tomorrow! Key 3 for life.

Tuesday, July 8, 2003 06:26 p.m.
I put up many of my old pictures under the section about me. Still have more to put up, but it's a start.

Tuesday, July 8, 2003 08:06 a.m.
I feel like crap, but I must be off to work. It's gonna feel like it's 105 degrees out there today, and I'm going to be lucky enough to have to take the kids out to the playground. I pray the time goes by quickly.

Monday, July 7, 2003 05:51 p.m.
Bri came over to watch Sex and the City last night- such a good episode. We both love Berger very very much. Tonight, may get together with Bri again (not sure as to what's going on). All I know is I really really really hate my jobs.

Monday, July 7, 2003 08:22 a.m.
Just say no to work.

Sunday, July 6, 2003 03:17 p.m.
The beach was *way* too much fun. The ride down was quick, easy, and with lots of good music (they made me listen to 'Moulin Rouge' by Christina, Mya, and the rest of 'em.. oy!). Once we got to Spring Lake, it was hella hot and we were ready to go swimming. We set up camp, tanned for a bit, and knew it was time for some water. The ocean was freezing, but then refreshing. The waves felt wonderful, and my shirt kept falling down. I (accidentally) flashed Min and Bri- I think they're scarred for life. Anyhoo, lots of tanning and more water... lots of hot hot men to look at. It was an eye candy fest! We left at 1 because it was far too hot for us. The sand was literally burning my feet as we walked towards the boardwalk. Got home in a decent amount of time. About to take a shower, and then tonight is Sex and the City night with Bri and possibly (hopefully) Min. Later.

Sunday, July 6, 2003 07:45 a.m.
I'm going to... DA BEACH! Woohooooo. It'll be so nice with just Bri, Min, and I. Cannot wait.

Sunday, July 6, 2003 12:06 a.m.
So here's how wonderful tomorrow (well today) is going to be. Bri, Min, and I are going to take a drive down to the shore- Spring Lake! That place is absolutely beautiful and relaxing. We'll just sit on the beach aaaaaall day and get baked by the sun. Leave in the early afternoon to avoid (hopefully hopefully hopefully) some of the holiday traffic. Then... 9 PM... Sex and the City! Woohoo. Today was really cool too- Bri and I went to the mall and we both made a few purchases at H & M. I got a cute little hot pink tank top (yes people... I said PINK), a black off the shoulder sweater, and a blue short skirt. It's all hot. Bri and I then went to her house where we ate a bunch of yummy food, and then we went swimming, peppered (volleyball), and watched the remainder of the Sex and the City DVD (Season One) which she had never seen before. I'm gonna know all these episodes word for word, I swear. MUST STOP! Oh yeah, my friend Andrew whom I met on the College Program who lives in NJ, MAY make an appearance at the beach tomorrow- probably not, but maybe. That would be hot.

Saturday, July 5, 2003 01:32 a.m.
Had a really nice time visiting Jaime- pool, good food, good times indeed.

Friday, July 4, 2003 10:01 a.m.
Yeah, happy fourth of July. They figured that my Grandpa had another mild heart attack. Fantastic, eh? Last night I was going to go out, but I was sitting on the couch and all of a sudden my stomach started hurting and then I just got really sleepy. I fell asleep so quickly. Off to see Jaime!

Thursday, July 3, 2003 08:14 a.m.
Today is everybody's Friday. I love that. Bri came over last night and we watched the first three episodes of the first season of Sex and the City. Can't get enough of that show. I fell asleep *really* early which was oh so nice, and now I must brace myself as i go to my two nightmarish jobs. Tomorrow, we leave to go to Connecticut. Woohoo!

Wednesday, July 2, 2003 05:24 p.m.
Definitely need/want girls night tonight. Work today was horrible. The kids were getting on my absolute last nerve. They wouldn't listen to anything Sandi and I told them. It's at those times that I hate my job. Then I went to my second hell where Jen and I did nothing. Absolutely nothing and it's so horrible.

Wednesday, July 2, 2003 08:16 a.m.
At about 430 this morning, I hear so much noise going on downstairs. Some dudes voice is booming and I hear my Grandma talking. My Grampy has had this *really* bad cough and fluid in his chest for a few weeks now. He couldn't breathe last night, so they called 911 I guess. He's in the hospital now. I have to go to work so I can't go to the hospital to sit with him. This sucks.

Wednesday, July 2, 2003 12:41 a.m.
It's girls night tonight! That means playing some pool (which I vastly need to improve at). Good times, good times.

Tuesday, July 1, 2003 06:35 p.m.
I just bought the cutest dress *ever* from Mandees. Black and white polka dots with a white ribbon under the boobages and a white rose on the ribbon. It's *so* cute and I love it.

Tuesday, July 1, 2003 08:17 a.m.
I can't wait until Friday. Get to go to Connecticut and see Jaime! Fourth of July will be nice this year. Too bad all fireworks suck in comparison to Illuminations which I saw every night when I worked at Epcot. I think that show spoiled all other fireworks.

Tuesday, July 1, 2003 12:14 a.m.
Min and I had an *ultimate spend fest*. We went to Best Buy in hopes of getting her Wet Hot American Summer. I also went to compare a few prices on some DVD's. I ended up buying over 90 dollars worth. Sex and the City: Season Two, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Father of the Bride, and Better Off Dead. So happy with the selection. Min got a DVD player and Dazed and Confused. It will be a summer o' movies.

Monday, June 30, 2003 08:17 a.m.
Sooooo... I must go to work in about ten minutes. I don't really *want* to go. Usual routine. Maybe it will rain and I want have to take the kids outside. Hopefully some of them will be out so we have a smaller group. Exercise after the second job! My neck is killing me from 8 Minute Abs- how the hell do people do these correctly?! I used my stomach muscles and not my neck as much as possible, and just... ow.

Monday, June 30, 2003 12:15 a.m.
Today was just absolutely wonderful. Min and I exercised to Tae Bo and then 8 Minute Abs... I was immobile for a few moments there, and I'm looking forward to the day after pain. So we exercised, got some yummy food from Shop Rite, and then Min popped home so we could both take our showers. Later on, Min and then Bri showed up at my house and we all watched Sex and the City together. I love Jack Berger (Ron Livingston). It looks like Carrie may cheat on him next week with Mr. Big, but I don't want that to happen! Enough of that. Afterwards, we decided to grab some coffee (for Min and I), TCBY yogurt for Bri, and a movie. We were trying to get Wet Hot American Summer (or something like that) but they were out at Blockbuster, so we ran to Min's and we ended up bringing her DVD of Donnie Darko back to my house. Sorry if I spelled that wrong... forgive me! That movie... was *good*. Weird, kinda freaky, but hella good. Now.... I have to wait until I'm unscared and scary Frank bunny image gets out of my head. Gotta get up nice and early for w-o-r-k. Possible parties on Monday and Tuesday.

Sunday, June 29, 2003 10:13 a.m.
My grandma is irritating me *so* much with her comments. HUWETHPAW! That's me spazzing out because I want to not be in my house when she is around sometimes. Min and I are going to get our asses kicked today with 8 Minute Abs, Yoga, and Tae Bo! Must not be so fat.

Saturday, June 28, 2003 10:06 a.m.
So last night at about 10 o'clock, Min 'coerced' Bri and I to go to Clifton to play some pool. Didn't take too much convincing for me. Ten minutes after the phone call, they were at my house- I had changed from my pajamas and was ready to go. The next step was getting Nikhil, Tristan, and Alex to come along- Min was talking to them on her cell phone and said they had no choice in the matter- we went straight over to Nikhil's house. There, they were finally convinced to come along with us. Two cars- guys car and girls car. Good music in Bri's car 'cause she's got the fun CD's. Anyhoo, we divided up into three teams of two- Min and Nikhil (the Maroon Moroccans), Bri and Tristan (White Trash), and Alex and I (The Jews). I *suck* so badly at pool, and I think I made everybody entirely too aware of this even before the game started. I scratched four times at least, but I think I got a few real ones in! Woohoo. Bri was a pimp at this. Min had some nice shots. Alex compensated for my craptasticness. Nikhil owned that shit. Tristan rocked towards the end. It was just a fun night. Today- Alex's house for some fun! Until then, I'm doing my laundry (laundry wench... EWW!) and depositing some CASH! PAYCHECK! HAHAHA.

Friday, June 27, 2003 07:55 p.m.
Paycheck today. Big. Happy.

Thursday, June 26, 2003 08:07 a.m.
It was supposed to be girls night last night, but I fell asleep and I was soooo tired, my stomach hurt, and I had coughing spasm fun. Min also was not feeling so well, so I guess Bri and Jes just ended up watching a movie. I would've liked to have done that, but I just slept and slept. Just doing daycare today, and then NOTHING. Wonderfulness.

Wednesday, June 25, 2003 08:13 a.m.
Today is going to suck so badly and like no other. I really want to go hide in a hole... not in my house. I do *not* want to work today. I'm sick of this shit at Redi Mail, but I can't bring myself to quit. Fuck it.

Tuesday, June 24, 2003 11:45 p.m.
Bri and I went out for a brief (but much needed) drive. We're both kind of frustrated with lots of things right now- lots of annoyances, fighting, and just not so fun stuff. We vented... it was nice to just bitch and know exactly how the other person feels!

Tuesday, June 24, 2003 07:46 p.m.
I really don't like being in my house right now. It's too crowded, too busy, and I'm getting frustrated too easily. I'm also using 'too' far too much, so I'll stop now.

Tuesday, June 24, 2003 05:06 p.m.
Work sucks. Hate.... working. Not happy. Grandparents here for five weeks. Feeling nasty (and looking it, too). Had a nice time yesterday although I was so de-energized. Working with the kids sucks all the life out of me. Going out to some coffee with Bri later on tonioght, and Jen should be over to do some Tae Bo. She had a rough day at work too!

Tuesday, June 24, 2003 12:26 a.m.
I finished Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. SO good... just so good.

Monday, June 23, 2003 07:56 a.m.
Watched the season premier of Sex and the City. SO good. Very excited about this season, but I don't want it to end. Blech. I start my first day of working at the daycamp again for the summer. I hope it's not so miserable and that the kids don't suck. It wasn't so bad last year, but I just don't want to hate both of my jobs. That's just not fair.

Sunday, June 22, 2003 10:05 p.m.
I love Priscilla This girl just knows how to make me smile!

Sunday, June 22, 2003 08:59 a.m.
Some bird woke me up at 830 by pecking at the freaking house.

Sunday, June 22, 2003 01:01 a.m.
Saturday- so much fun. Jen and I ended up not being able to get together, but we're doing Tae Bo today! That's a damned promise- plus I know we'll be able to do that with Bri also 'cause she's hardcore. We discussed this. So I then went to Borders where I picked up Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Gonna read that as soon as I get offline. So straight after I picked up the book, I went to visit Andrew whom I was at the Disney College Program with. He only lives about half an hour away from me. We went to Pallisades Park Mall and just walked around and it was just sooooo nice to see him. We're gonna get together again, but this time he'll come to my house. I can't wait for that- plus he and Brian (also from Disney) are going to take a road trip to visit me at SUNY B, and I'll visit them at Lockhaven. I can't wait! Came home to chill with the girls after that. Bri and I went to the mall to Aeropostale- I bought two shirts for under ten bucks. We then proceeded to just drive around to kill time before we were to meet Lisa and her bo Jim at a diner. At about 1020 we met them to grab a bite and just chew the fat and stuff (yes, I just said chew the fat). It was cool to just hang out and talk with the girls like we used to. After talking for a long long long time, Lisa left with Jim, and Bri and I went to Eagle Rock Reservation- they redid it, and it looks so beautiful. We then went back to Bri's so I could see some pictures, and now I'm home. Gonna pop to sleep soon, I guess... well read first! Night night.

Busting my butt to Tae Bo this morning with Jen! We decided that instead of joining a gym this summer (which costs a butt load of money), we're going to work with the exercise videos that we already own. We'll be doing Tae Bo every other day, and running on the other days. Maybe even buy 8 Minute Abs later in the summer if some of my disgusting fat goes away. Ren and Stimpy are coming back on the new TNN! Holy shit! Oh, yes... back to me. Visiting Andrew later in the afternoon... you know Andrew from Disney! Yeaaaah, he lives like 20-30 minutes from me so I get to see my boy. THEN- tonight, Bri, Lisa, and I are getting together for a girls night (hopefully). Bri called me last night, and said that after that morning's phone conversation, she said that we all *had* to get together... she and Lisa had always talked about a get together, but it's finally going to happen. Woohoo!

Friday, June 20, 2003 05:11 p.m.
I had *such* a good time going out to breakfast with Lisa this morning. We just talked about everything that has been going on, college, Disney, and all that stuff. Then we ended up talking about sex for the last twenty minutes or more of our time together and it had to be one of the funniest, but most true conversations I've ever had. We ended up calling Bri afterwards to ask her if she had the same "deal" as us, and she confirmed it. IT'S NOT FAIR! Hehehe.

Friday, June 20, 2003 08:07 a.m.
Gonna have breakfast with Lisa at Versailles before I go to work today. Still not feeling so well, so I'm praying that work goes by very very quickly today.

Thursday, June 19, 2003 10:26 p.m.
I feel like *shit*. Oy! Thank goodness tomorrow is Friday. Money money money made.

Thursday, June 19, 2003 07:27 a.m.
It's far too early to be awake. Going to see Dr. Trause at the high school, and then off to the evil evil work. Jen and I agree that works *sucks* this year. Theh company didn't even want us back. They wanted Sue to do all the stuff that we do, but she refused so they have us. Now we're walking on eggshells here and I don't like this at all. Work this summer is going to suck.

Wednesday, June 18, 2003 04:08 p.m.
Oooooh and my favorite Priscilla has her new layout up at her new geekstar address. Looka looka. Girls night tonight. Thank goodness! Had a Target trip today during lunch and I bought the following: a Sponge Bob car air freshener, a new car CD holder, and the extended DVD of Lord of the Rings.

Wednesday, June 18, 2003 10:18 a.m.
I had such a baaaaad migraine last night. Not so fun. Fell asleep at 930 and woke up at 9 which I think helped out quite a bit. The best part about yesterday is: Jen and I 'played' tennis, went to Shop Rite and got some yummy dinner salads, and then watched none other than.. Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers on bootleg. Sooooo wonderful. Off to work. CRAP!

Tuesday, June 17, 2003 07:38 a.m.
Had a really nice night out with Min and Bri. We went to Chili's for some yummy foods (and I didn't have to order mozzarella sticks or a salad!). We then came back to my house and just chilled a bit. They, too, saw the wonders of my skydiving video. Going to visit the high school teachers with Jen and then off to work. I'm pretty sure we're signing up for Bally's gym, but not positive.

Monday, June 16, 2003 05:34 p.m.
I got an e-mail from Mark from Florida! YEAAAAH! And today was my first day of work back at home- it flew by very quicly. A whoooole six hour day with Jen. We'll be raking in the dough this summer.

Monday, June 16, 2003 10:22 a.m.
I'm going.... to work. Blech. But with Jen!

Sunday, June 15, 2003 12:46 p.m.
Yeah.. I couldn't get in touch with Tuugii, so she's not here right now. Min called me this morning to see if I wanted to chill and I DO but I can't because it's Father's Day and I'm stuck here in hell... I mean home. I am officially NOT WANTING TO BE AT HOME. It's like I tasted what it was like to be on my own (for the most part) and now I can't stand this old situation I was living in for the past 18 years of my life. Get me out of NJ.

Sunday, June 15, 2003 09:22 a.m.
Gonna pick up Tuugii from Ramapo to join us for Father's Day.

Saturday, June 14, 2003 09:22 p.m.
Brianna and her boyfriend Phil surprised me by visiting my house! I was soooooo happy to see Bri, and Phil seems like such a cool guy. They look really really really happy together. It makes me happy. I was just so happy to see my Bri.

Saturday, June 14, 2003 07:13 p.m.
I just talked to Diany and Mark on the phone- I MISS THEM SO MUCH. Diany and I were discussing... if I really don't like it up here, I think I may move to Florida- it's like we're supposed to be roommates. I miss my Florida people.

Saturday, June 14, 2003 01:26 p.m.
The pictures are being organized as we speak, so they'll be back up within the next few days. I love the new layout because it's so simple and it's NOT TABLES. I heard from my favorite Disney people over the past two days, so that put a smile on my face. My Brianna is coming home (currently driving home from Cape May as we speak) and I think we, along with Min, Andy, and some others, will go to the carnival tonight. I can't wait to see my friends! PLUS, last night I got to hang out with Emma and meet her new friend Erin... I wasn't at home so I was *happy*.

Friday, June 13, 2003 06:34 p.m.
Not done with the content, but the layout is DONE. Cute, ain't it?

Friday, June 13, 2003 11:05 a.m.
Just woke up, tired as hell and with a headache. One of those nasty days outside. Blech. The new layout is coming along really well!

Thursday, June 12, 2003 09:59 p.m.
Working on an awesome and simple new layout... with FRAMES AGAIN! Muahahaha.... a big change from the past. No more tables for noooooooow. Plus I'm entirely redoing the Lisa section. Don't go there yet.

Thursday, June 12, 2003 05:48 p.m.
Andrew seems to have discovered this place, so if you're reading this, I'm gonna kick your butt when I see you! Anyhoo, I went to the hospital with my Mom today. She got accupuncture for her frozen left shoulder. Ever since she had her surgery, she's been having horrible pains in her left shoulder- it looks so painful. This woman is incredibly afraid of needles, but after she came out of her session, she was telling me how it didn't even hurt. She wants me to get accupuncture for my headaches that I get all the time. I dunno- having needles sticking out of me from all types of places doesn't sound so incredibly appealing. I don't think I could bare it. Went shopping at Trader Joes and bought some good good food- I forgot what it was like to really eat some decent food. Must finish unpacking and everything, although I'm just feeling far too lazy to do anything. I finished The Two Towers, so I bought The Return of the King- I'm hoping to finish that just before the fifth Harry Potter book comes out. Work starts on Monday and I don't want to go. Just not in the mood to work... again. I need a break from working. I want to go back to Florida. I wish I were there right now and not at home. I'm still really mad at my Mom for what she said this morning on the phone... she doesn't know that that is what's upsetting me this much.

Thursday, June 12, 2003 11:09 a.m.
Look what I found!!!!

Thursday, June 12, 2003 09:57 a.m.
I woke up to hear my Mom talking to someone, and here is what she said: "Lisa used to be one of the most giving children, and now she's just not." Thanks Mom.

Wednesday, June 11, 2003 12:44 a.m.
So what has happened over the past few days? Nothing really, actually. My Mom and I stopped for two days to visit St. Augustine, Florida. It's a really beautiful city with lots of historical places to visit. Unfortunately, I'm sick with this nasty ass cough and a runny nose. It was nice to stay there for those few days. It's been my first vacation, I believe, since I began working at Disney. I'm still really missing everybody from Florida, and it makes me sososos sad everytime I think about the people. BAH. Anyways, I'm in Emporia, Virginia right now, and my Mom and I should get back to our house by sometime this evening. Very excited about that. I've spoken to lots of my friends on the cell when I haven't been driving, so it's nice to hear from them all. Does anybody know of any good gyms that offer reasonable package prices for two months? Jen and I are joining a gym again, but we need to find one we can actually afford. I'm off to shower and then the Mom and i are leaving. Tata!

Sunday, June 8, 2003 11:46 a.m.
Chilling at the sisters house for now. I'm sick and feeling like CRAP. Today's job is to get all of my files off of the computer I gave to my sister. I showed my Mom my skydiving video last night, and she just looked at me and laughed and kept saying, "You didn't really do that, did you??" That made my night. I said goodbye to Carlos yesterday and that sucked so badly. Gonna miss that boy a bunch.

Saturday, June 7, 2003 11:05 a.m.
I'm just getting some last minute things, and then I have to check out of here... oy.

Saturday, June 7, 2003 12:52 a.m.
Tonight (but technically yesterday) was my last day of work... it was just too sad to describe. I know I always bitch about how much I hate my job (and I do dislike my job very much at many times)... but I love my co-workers and I'm gonna miss my friends. Everything went very well and all. I got to do Glow with Brad and Debbie, so that was a *fun* time. They're absolutely hilarious. Had a good night overall. It rained and rained on me as I was outside doing the Glow Cart, but it was nice nonetheless. Mark (one of two whom I'm going to miss the most out of all people at work) was getting off at 915 tonight, so I made him promise to come say goodbye to me before he left. The thing is, I kinda have a thing for Mark, and I'm pretty positive that he knew that. He's one of the funniest, wittiest, and coolest guys that I know... the only thing is that he's too old for me. Anyway, so he was at Kiosk and saw me at the bridge to say goodbye. I started to tear up and everything and we talked for a few minutes, gave each other a big big hug, and he walked to Port. I started to cry when he left. A couple minutes later he walked past me again and we talked a bit more. He said, "You know, if I were a few years younger I would have absolutely asked you out." It was the sweetest thing and I just smiled and we gave each other a hug goodbye. Then I cried a little more. Went back into the stores where I saw all the other co-workers... I started thinking about all of them and how much I'll miss them and I started to tear up. Had to go back to the shed to unload everything, and then I found that I could actually just cry and cry. Marco came back and saw me and gave me a huge hug which was nice. I'm gonna miss all the people. Robert, the security guard whome we all love and always chill with, was making fun of me because my eyes were all red, glossy, and puffy and he made me cry more. Leh Lee (our manager) told everybody at the end of the night that it was my last night, and everybody was saying goodbye to me. I broke down and I felt so stupid. Cried the whole way back to Cast Services... I saw Diany waiting there for me and she just gave me a hug and I cried with her for a minute. I was so glad she was waiting there for me! Basically... to sum it all up... I cried like a baby and I hate doing that. I don't regret coming down here at all, and I don't know if I'm ready to leave all of this- if I had made more money, I don't think I'd be leaving for home. I love my new roomies (except for the new new girl Christine). This is just such bad timing! I'm off for a tough night!

Friday, June 6, 2003 11:34 a.m.
Last night... oy vey. I did Segway last night for Glow, and it was just not a good night. The battery drained on me so quickly in about 30 minutes or so- didn't make too much money. Charged it for a bit hoping to get back out, even if just for fifteen more minutes. I did that, and I realized that my battery was blinking on its last bit of charge. I tried to get to the shed as quickly as possible, but the Segway started to shake (so I had to jump off it as quickly as I could) and the thing ran out of battery and DIED. I had to drag that pain in the ass back to the shed... not good. All of my merchandise had fallen out, and some really nice guests helped me to put it all back. Got out of work late because everybody was really slow, and then went to PI with Diany. That was really cool after about an hour of suckiness. Saw Tony there at the Beach Club and he ended up coming over afterwards. It wasn't such a bad night. Today is my last day of work and I've got a buttload of stuff to get done, so I'm off!

Thursday, June 5, 2003 12:23 p.m.
Second to last day of work... yesterday I had to say goodbye to Chris and Luis (coworkers of mine who are *awesome*) because they won't be working for the next few days. It really started to hit me that I won't be seeing these people. I'm not so happy right now.

Wednesday, June 4, 2003 12:31 p.m.
So now there are three of us living in 1110... kinda weird, but the new girl that came in today seems really sweet. I know I won't know her for too long, but she just seems like a nice girl in general. Hung out with Tony and Erik last night which was very very nice and fun. I'm leaaaaaaaaving soon.. AAAH!

Tuesday, June 3, 2003 02:33 p.m.
Everything is up and back to normal at Geekstar so I'm very very very happy about that. Diany moved into my apartment today, and for the few days that we'll be living together, it's going to rock.

Sunday, June 1, 2003 03:22 p.m.
Everyone here at Vista is *new* and it scares me! It's like I know nobody.

Friday, May 30, 2003 10:46 p.m.
WHY ISN'T GEEKSTAR WORKING?!

Wednesday, May 28, 2003 11:56 a.m.
Jen and I are gonna go shopping at Downtown Disney today, and then I have to work. BLECH!

Monday, May 26, 2003 10:30 p.m.
Jen is here and it's all good times! Last night I had to go to work, so she just chilled at my apartment watching movies until I got home- at that point we went to my sisters apartment and slept there to go to Epcot in the morning. It was a long and tiring day, but I took Jen to Mexico for dinner as the second half of her birthday present. She liked it a lot! Tonight... laundry and movies. Tomorrow... relaxation and shopping.

Saturday, May 24, 2003 01:30 p.m.
I'm still really sad about everybody leaving... Moni and Jay left today. I feel like there's nobody here that I can hang out with. *All* of my friends are gone... I guess I'll be hanging out more with my co-workers, now. Jen comes tomorrow and I can't wait!

Thursday, May 22, 2003 03:51 p.m.
My friends are allllll leaving me so I baked them little cakes. Played a bit o' volleyball and I kicked butt. Gonna see The Matrix: Reloaded tonight with Andrew and Brian and I can't wait!

Wednesday, May 21, 2003 12:16 p.m.
Last night... volleyball... swimming, and then Lauren, Brian, and Andrew came over to my place to watch a movie... naturally, we all fell asleep. It was wonderful! Work tonight, and Matrix tomorrow night with Andrew and Brian. They're leaving on Friday morning. I'm not so happy.

Tuesday, May 20, 2003 04:09 p.m.
I called in sick... I'm DEFINITELY not going in to work today because I don't want to. Gonna run some errands and play volleyball later on tonight. All I've been doing throughout the day has been watching movies. I *love* it.

Sunday, May 18, 2003 12:34 p.m.
This morning was awesome- went to Animal Kingdom with Andrew which was just really nice- it's fun to hang out with the kid. Plus!!! I've got his TV at my apartment for one more night. DVD before I go to work.

Saturday, May 17, 2003 12:51 a.m.
I'm sleeping over at my sister's tonight which will be nice... although I probably should have gone home to hang out with my friends, but I'm too tired to drive back... blah.

Friday, May 16, 2003 10:03 a.m.
My Dad called to wake me up at 930, like I asked him to, and I'm T-I-R-E-D. I stayed up last night just hanging around and talking with Andrew and that was definitely cool. He leaves! Damn it.

Friday, May 16, 2003 01:00 a.m.
So my parents arrived which is cool... but a bunch of my co-workers worked their last day today. I got pictures with most of them. Work's not going to be the same now.

Thursday, May 15, 2003 09:52 a.m.
Definitely calling in sick today- going to check out the tunnels in the Magic Kingdom with Brian, and then go to Property Control to buy some cheap gifts (that's also behind the Magic Kingdom).. then TV hunting for my sister and then I get to see my parents!

Wednesday, May 14, 2003 11:37 a.m.
Yesterday.. hmmm... yesterday rocked! I started to watch the Extended version of LOTR with Brian, but my sister called when we were half way through and demanded that I help her move her stuff. Blech, that cost me over five bucks in tolls and now my bank accout is disgusting. I came back and finished teh movie with Brian which rocked to no end, and then we came to the computer lab and he showed me the wonders of joecartoon.com while I introduced him to liquidgeneration.com. It was a beautiful night.

Tuesday, May 13, 2003 11:41 a.m.
Today will be wooonderful- I have the day off, and I'm going to watch The Fellowship of the Ring with Brian- the extended version... sooo happy. Gonna bring over the double stuffed oreos and kettle corn pop corn... good stuff. Woo!

Monday, May 12, 2003 12:12 p.m.
I slept probably more than I should have last night. All I've been doing is sleeping and reading- and I must say, it's been *wonderful*. I haven't relaxed that much to just sit down and read a good book since I arrived back in January- now I can't stop reading... and sleeping. I was on my couch reading the Fellowship last night, and I dozed for a good hour... I decided, after I had awoken, to move it over to my bedroom where I fell asleep again for another two hours. That was 930... read until about 1230, and then fell asleep until about 1000. Too much sleep, but I'm not complaining! My cousin Matt should be coming to visit me for a day (this Wednesday) hopefully. I'd absolutely love to see him. My parents get here Thursday, and Jen gets here on the 25th... everything is coming to a quick end, and I'm not necessarily sorry about that.

Sunday, May 11, 2003 09:37 p.m.
I just took the most delicious three hour nap... I was reading the Fellowship of the Ring, and then I felt a sudden sleepiness come over me- I had worked for 6.5 hours today, and I was feelign really lethargic. So I let myself fall asleep- I woke up an hour later, and crawled into my bed only to wake up at 930. Crazy stuff! Feeling so much better now. Going to be getting together with my friend Andrew in a bit. Woohoo.

Sunday, May 11, 2003 09:21 a.m.
Had to get up hella early for work today and that just sucks in itself- BUT- HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! My Mommy is here in Florida, but she's with her Mom. Blah.

Saturday, May 10, 2003 01:15 p.m.
I got another 8 hour day thanks to Carlos who switched with me. Money money money.

Friday, May 9, 2003 12:38 p.m.
Yesterday was far too much fun. In fact, it was awesome. Brian (not the one who used to live downstairs from me), Jay, a last minute Lauren, and I all went to Blizzard Beach for the entire time it was open. Well, most of the time- we got there at around 1130 or 1200 and immediately hit up all the slides. By far, the best thing was the Summit Plummit which is pretty much a straight drop down for 120 feet. You get the ultimate wedgie, but the slide is amazing. Poor Brian was soooo sunburnt from the day before when we were playing volleyball. But we spent the majority of our time floating around in the Lazy River and knocking each other off of our tubes. Lauren had to leave to go to work, but the three of us remained to do some of the slides over again and to float some more in the river. We left when it closed at 600- we all went home and took our showers, blah blah. I went to Jay's to watch some TV (Friends was on... woo!). At about 9 o'clock, I run into Brian and Andrew who invite me to come to Perkins with them. That was awesome too- it was more chill, but we just talked a hella lot and I got to know 'em better which is just awesome in itself. After we got home from that, I went to visit Carlos and we watched Empire Records (hadn't seen that in a while). I think I need to go buy it now... I've missed that movie... if Bri and Min read this- ooooh how I miss our movie nights every weekend where we watched Empire religiously! So then here's the breakdown for the remainder of my stay- a bunch of people from my work are leaving on May 16th- by that point, my parents will have arrived and will be down here for a week or so. The 23rd, sooooooo many of my friends go home, including Lauren, Jenny, Crystal, Brian, Andrew, and many other volleyball people. My parents leave soon thereafter. On the 26th, Jay leaves and that will SUCK too. But, my Jen from home will have arrived the day before, and he'll be the one friend she gets to meet. Jen will be there until the 31st (which will rock, except that I have to work because I don't have enough time to request a vacation). So basically, from the 1st until the 8th of June I'll have very few friends (blech), but my Mommy comes on the 8th and I'm gone on the 11th. Crazy stuff, eh?

Wednesday, May 7, 2003 08:16 p.m.
Most of the day was spent at Mickeys Retreat with Brian, Jay, and Brent- now we're all burnt and it sucks. Tonight- we're all chilling (except for Brent) at Jay's to watch the basketball game.

Tuesday, May 6, 2003 11:25 p.m.
So I've moved most of my stuff into my new apartment and it's SO MUCH NICER. I'm just happy that I won't have to deal with annoying roomies. It's my Friday so I get to relax tomorrow and Thursday. Excellent, I say.

Monday, May 5, 2003 01:10 p.m.
So I'm going to be moving starting TOMORROW! Hehehehe. I'll have my own place for a while, because I'll be moving into a vacant apartment in Vista, and then I'll tell you what happens after that- I know what's going on, but I can't really say anything until what's going to happen is announced. That should be soon. SOsosososososo happy.

Sunday, May 4, 2003 06:43 p.m.
I want to move out of my apartment NOW.

Sunday, May 4, 2003 09:00 a.m.
The final reflections will be coming within the next week... I can't believe the marking period is almost over which means I get to go home. Woohoo. But besides that, Disney has been kind of crazy as of late. There have been multiple Grad Nights where the Magic Kingdom closes at 8 or 9, and the high school graduates have the park to themselves for the entirety of the night. There are some great bands who are performing on the stages, and I'm jealous of the kids who get to be there. But some of these high schoolers are going a little too crazy for Disney. A security guard, Robert, whom we work with at my store in Epcot had to work grad night- a stupid stupid girl got up on a guys shoulders and started to flash everybody. Robert had to kick the girl out- it's not "Disney-like", but I'm really glad that he had to do that. Although it may have only been a bunch of 18 year olds in the park at that particular point in time, it's still a family place. Disney really does try to keep its image, even when there's no guests to see these types of actions.

Sunday, May 4, 2003 08:57 a.m.
Lauren and I went to Downtown Disney to go see X Men II, but the two shows we could have attended were sold out. That's truly craptastical. Work at 945 which sucks, but at least I get out nice and early.

Saturday, May 3, 2003 09:40 a.m.
So I'm going to be talking to the head guy here at housing to move me out as quickly as possible- hopefully he'll be saying that I can start my move immediately or at my own pace. If that's the case, I'll start the next day possible. Last night, the phone rang at about 335 AM. I didn't pick it up. It rang again a few minutes later and I picked it up. It was Moni asking me to pick her and her friends up at Downtown Disney. I was PISSED. I ended up not doing it because she hitched a ride from a security guard or something- but that's freaking ridiculous.

Friday, May 2, 2003 02:02 p.m.
So I don't think I'll be able to freaking move tomorrow. I'm sick of this crap! Get me out of my damned apartment and away from Jamie.

Thursday, May 1, 2003 03:27 p.m.
I got my hair cut and it looks so good! I love love love it. It falls above my shoulders- I only paid (including tip) $14.75 which is crazy cheap- so happy.

Wednesday, April 30, 2003 12:17 p.m.
And I uploaded a buttload of pictures- and to Todd- call me on my cell!

Wednesday, April 30, 2003 10:25 a.m.
Last night was by far the best night that I've had here so far. Soooooo much fun. Lauren, Crystal, Jenny (they're both Lauren's roomies), Brian, Andrew (from volleyball), and I all decided to go bowling. We went to this hardcore 32 lane alley down in Kissimmee and rented out one lane for two hours. It was cheap as dirt, and I came in 5th place both times. I've got the mad bowling skills. We got lots of pictures on Lauren's camera of our bowling victory and loss dances... I guess you just had to be there to witness the beauty of this. After our two hours were up, we all decided to go back to Brian and Andrew's to watch a movie. Crystal and Jenny went back to the apartment so it was just going to be the four of us. While Lauren and I were waiting for Brian and Andrew to get back to Vista (we had taken two cars), Jay calls me up on the cell. He was asking me where we were, what we were doing. As I'm on the phone with him, all of a sudden a water balloon bursts near my feet. Jay starts cracking up and hangs up the phone. Lauren, Brian and Andrew (who had just arrived), and I run for cover in their apartment. And then our plot of revenge begins. We had it all drawn out on paper- Lauren had run back to her apartment where she just so happened to have a buttload of water balloons... she brought those back and we got to work on filling those up. Lauren and I went directly to Jay's apartment where we knew that he and George would be waiting... Brian and Andrew were in the bushes near their apartment where we hoped that we would be able to lead Jay and George out to an ambush. We knocked on their door with water balloons at hand. Jay and George come out with cups and cups of water chucking them at us, while we nail them with the water balloons... we had called Andrew and Brian up for reinforcements and they wailed on Jay and George- it was absolutely crazy. The four of us ran back to the boys apartment while Jay and George were following us closely and gaining on us. We were lucky enough to get back quickly enough before they could get us even worse. They had no more water balloons and neither did we, so we let them into the apartment. We're all laughing our asses off and I practically peed my pants. The six of us then thought we should go around to randomly throw balloons at people we didn't know... and we did. George started launching them at people who were in the pool. All we could hear was screaming and cursing- it was the absolute best. Then Lauren wanted to get her roomies. I knocked on Jenny's door and frantically told her that Lauren had fallen down the stairs because of the balloon fight and we needed her- Jenny knew something was up but she came out anyway. The second she was there, Lauren and the boys started the bombarding of the water balloons and poor Jenny ran in soaking wet and laughing her ass off. Jay and Lauren got into their own mess, breaking water balloons over each others heads and down shirts. We had no more balloons at all after that, so the original four just went back to Brian and Andrew's apartment and we watched C2Y2K. That's some crazy stuff. Overall, the night was amazing.. just awesome. That, and I have no more freaking Disney classes, AND my move to Chatham is approved! Woohooo.

Tuesday, April 29, 2003 02:26 p.m.
Last night was just very awesome. I picked up my friend/co-worker Carlos from the airport after his four day vacation to North Carolina. We just ended up chillin for the entire night which was very much fun. I tried my first Krispy Kreme donut... ooooooooh my goodness how it was so good.

Monday, April 28, 2003 12:38 p.m.
I can't wait to come home. The only really bad thing abotu leaving will be leaving my sister. I love her lots and I rarely get to see her when I'm up north, and when I go home, it will turn back to that. Otherwise, just send me home.

Sunday, April 27, 2003 09:05 p.m.
Man, today was so long at work, but at least I know my paycheck won't stink so much this week. Hanging out with Emmy for a bit tonight which is hardcore. Bought Mommy her Mother's Day present, and it's absolutely adorable- she'd better love it. I have off for the next two days (thank God)- volleyball in the morning, woo!

Saturday, April 26, 2003 06:45 p.m.
Today was just a long long day at work, and tomorrow will be also- at least I know that I'll be getting a decent paycheck this coming Thursday. Finally.

Friday, April 25, 2003 12:46 p.m.
I'm going home from Disney on June 11th. I'm counting down the days... woohooo.

Thursday, April 24, 2003 03:08 p.m.
I was supposed to go play volleyball with a few of my friends this morning at Mickey's, but Bryan from downstairs calls me because he was having car trouble. I jump started his car and everything, but it refused to move. He had to move into Chatham today, so I decided that I'd take all his stuff over with my car. We moved everything over, met one of his roommates (he's Jewish!) and just kinda sorted things out a bit. Bryan then, to say thank you, took me out for some lunch and now I'm stuffed beyond all belief. Giant... bubble... aaah.

Wednesday, April 23, 2003 02:06 p.m.
Emma is here in Florida with teh high school band, so ig et to go see her perform tomorrow! Can't wait to see her. And I'm definitely moving into the apartment at Chatham with Diany and her roomies. Can't wait for that either.

Tuesday, April 22, 2003 02:47 p.m.
I'm almost 100% moving otu of my current apartment and into one with my co-worker Diany. I went to visit it today, and I definitely like her roomies and the way they keep their apartment. It's not perfectly clean, but it's not dirty like ours was. Eww.

Sunday, April 20, 2003 05:38 p.m.
It's not that I'm dead or anything, I've just been busy. Jaime came from Tulane in New Orleans to come visit me for a few days. It's been so nice to have her around and just be with my friend. Emma should be coming within the next week or so which will be wonderful, adn I'm really looking forward to that. I've also decided that unless I hear some really good news about financial aid from Lehigh, I'll probably end up going to SUNY Binghamton. My credits transfer, it's a great school, it's better for my family financially, and I've got my Jen there! It doesn't get much better than that. Also, I think I'm going to cut my stay short here at Disney. I'm sick of my living conditions, I hate my roomies, and I'm sick of being poor. I'll see if I can get out of here at the beginning of June if possible. I just can't take it down here much more. There are some great aspects to this place... my sister, my friends that I've made... but I can't take it.

Sunday, April 13, 2003 11:25 a.m.
So I traded my day off which was supposed to be tomorrow to Saturday so I know I have at least one full day with Jaime... I'm hoping I get Sunday Monday off of next week which would be awesome... but chances are I won't because they always jump my days off around. Blech... today will be errands/relaxation day. Excellent. That and I have to decide between Binghamton and Lehigh. Computer research is fun, kids.

Saturday, April 12, 2003 04:05 p.m.
Last night was very very cool. Went with my co-worker Carlos to see Chicago after work... sooooo excellent! I really liked that movie a lot. The ventriloquist (however you spell it) scene was amazing. I want to see it again. We then went back to his apartment and hung out with his friend.. played Dominoes and got a bit tipsy- however many blocks you had left after the game was closed was how many shots you had to take. Oy vey... but I'm feeling okay now. Got to play volleyball in the morning with Jay, Lauren, and John David (he did his shaky seductive dance) and had an awesome time. THE BEST NEWS: Jaime is coming to stay from late late Thursday night through Sunday afternoon. It's crazy!

Friday, April 11, 2003 06:46 p.m.
The latest: NYU said no to me, and I'm okay with that. So now it's really choosing between Lehigh and SUNY Binghamton. Last night I chilled with my coworker Carlos, and tonight we're going to see Chicago! Woohooooo.

Thursday, April 10, 2003 12:57 a.m.
Went to go play volleyball, but it started raining like CRAZY. Instead, Lance, Beau and I went to Beau's apartment and played some video game football and then Boondock Saints. Now it's finally time to relax and I'm so happy 'bout that.

Wednesday, April 9, 2003 09:02 p.m.
Holy crap... we had the house meeting this morning that Moni signed us up for to be supervised by somebody else... all hell broke loose. What I thought would be the same old 20-30 minute meeting turned into a nearly two hour bitchfest which I was literally stuck in the middle of. I was the good guy for the argument yet again... it was really Moni vs. Susan and Jamie and let me tell you- scary scary stuff. There were middle fingers flying, cuss words, you name it. It got really personal and nasty and all I wanted to do was get it over with and get the hell outta there. After both Susan and Jamie had both cried, the woman (Liza) decided to speak to us individually. The second everyone walked out of the room, we gave each other the look and she says to me, "I feel *so* sorry for you... I feel so badly for you, I really do." All I could do was agree with her whole heartedly and pound my fists against the desk. I'm sick of our house situation, and there's a chance that our apartment might get split up. Jamie and Susan would be moving out, and Moni and I might have to move also- if I do, both Diany and Laura from work have an empty space in their apartments (they live at perty perty Chatham). Now... hopefully volleyball tonight. Now I'm going to go smack my head into a wall if I have to go back to my apartment tonight. NOOO!

Tuesday, April 8, 2003 09:55 a.m.
I'm back in Florida... I had such a nice time at home. I didn't get to see Bri and Min, but I did get to spend a bit of time with Emma and Todd, and I got to see Jared for a few. I even got to visit my teachers which was wonderful. Now I'm back in Florida, and it's not so bad. Gotta work at 11, so I'll be heading out in a few to get costumes and deposit a check. Fun stuff! Jay got his belly button pierced... I told him not to do it, but he came home with it pierced last night... it actually looks really good. Lauren and I spent most of yesterday together just shopping and lazing about which was incredibly cool. I hate hate hate that both of them are leaving in May. It's coming so quickly.

Sunday, April 6, 2003 01:16 p.m.
And back to Florida I go...

Saturday, April 5, 2003 11:11 a.m.
Lehigh was absolutely beautiful. I liked the campus a lot, but I don't think I immediately fell in love with it like I did the Ramapo campus. I don't know what to do about colleges, and I still have to hear back from NYU (the middle of the month, supposedly... here comes the 'no'). Tonight I'm hoping that Min, Bri, and I are going out to dinner, and then afterwards Todd and I might chill. I miss these people so much... it's a big fat suck. I have to leave tomorrow night. Nooooo!

Thursday, April 3, 2003 11:40 p.m.
I'm home and it's so wonderful. So happy to be in my own house with my own big and comfy bed. Happiness! Sheer happiness.

Thursday, April 3, 2003 10:13 a.m.
I get to go home tonight and I am so excited to do so. I miss my parents, grammy, friends, MY BED! Ugh... today will take forever. Gotta go to work at 1130 today, but I'm doing an early release after a few hours. Craziness. I got an 89 on my paper for my Practicum Course which is awesome because she gave everybody grades in the 60's. Excellent, I say.

Wednesday, April 2, 2003 03:19 p.m.
Worried like no other! Make the bad man stop... Got to play at Mickey's this morning which was hardcore and all... not as fun as usual when it is just Jay, Lauren, and I... but cool nevertheless. PLUS I got Bri's birthday card today so that's good stuff! Off now... I get to do Segway tonight.

Tuesday, April 1, 2003 03:01 p.m.
Volleyball this morning. Volleyball tonight. Volleyball tomorrow morning. Volleyball tomorrow night. CRAZINESS I TELL YOU, CRAZINESS! Last night, my sister took me out to Sushi dinner for a belated birthday dinner... it was so much fun just to talk and goof around with my sister. We acted like big fat dorks and I love her. We had a flaming banana dessert... I started speaking like Yoda... "Eat banana you will!" My sister started to laugh and snort which is the best. Then she dropped my chapstick in the dessert... it's good stuff. My tummy hurts.

Monday, March 31, 2003 09:58 a.m.
My birthday was kinda bleh. It kinda really sucked not to be with my family like I have been every year since I was born. All of my friends called or e-mailed me and that was definitely the highlight of my day. Thank you guys! My Mom left a message on my cell phone that I got when I was on break at work. She sang happy birthday to me, and I just started to cry. I miss my parents a lot. So that kinda sucked. I got home, showered, relaxed blah blah blah. The moment I walked in the door, Moni started blasting "You Can Call Me Al" by Paul Simon, and she literally picked me up off my feet and dragged me into our room- there on my bed was the sweetest card from her and... SPONGEBOB T-SHIRT! Hehehee. Moni, Alvin, and I went to go see "Bringin' Down the House" with Queen Latifah and Steve Martin. I was laughing so hard that I almost peed my pants... good stuff. Came home... Moni, Susan, and Jamie got into a fight about cleaning again. I agreed with Moni on this one, most definitely. Then Lauren and Jay came over and the two of them, Moni, and I went into our room where we talked for quite some time. That was definitely a nice way to end the night. Today I work 11-5 and I'm hoping I get to eat dinner with my sister tonight. She canceled on me for breakfast this morning... a little bit pissed, but whatever. Now... nothing. Oh, and my vacation thing about going home was straightened out by Michael, so it's all good now. I get money money money.

Sunday, March 30, 2003 08:59 a.m.
Happy birthday to me? Blech. As of right now, I've been screwed over by Disney for my vacation to come home. Over a month ago, I went to my manager (Michael) requesting my vacation. He said he put it in, and a few days later everything was approved- I had been approved to have off from April 3-6. Two days ago, our new schedules were posted, and I saw that I was to be scheduled to have Monday and Tuesday off, and then I was going to be working on my vacation. I asked Laura, the manager on duty, about it and she called the lady in charge of the schedules. Yesterday I found out that ATLAS (schedulers) had no record of my requesting a vacation. THIS SUCKS SO BAD. It's been a shitty past few days and I just want to go home for a few.

Saturday, March 29, 2003 08:14 a.m.
I actually have to work an early shift this morning, and I have afternoon shifts for the remainder of the week. This is really weird, but I'm liking the shift itself. The time goes by pretty quickly. I turn 19 tomorrow.. blech.

Thursday, March 27, 2003 05:01 p.m.
Tonight... will be great no matter what. I'm either getting together with Tony (woo) or going to my friend Lauren's to chill and then go to PI. Good stuff I tell you.

Wednesday, March 26, 2003 12:51 a.m.
So nice to have Wednesday and Thursday off. Too bad that class at 8 in the morning ruins my happiness. BAH.

Monday, March 24, 2003 09:58 a.m.
We had our house meeting last night... Moni ended up cursing out Jamie and Susan. Susan ran into her room and I dunno what happened after that. Messy messy stuff last night. Moni and I went downstairs to talk at the bottom of our apartment stairs, and George was there. We ended up venting to him, and then Alvin came down to chill with us- we were all just hanging out for about an hour, and that was a nice way to end such a nasty and messy night.

Sunday, March 23, 2003 12:07 p.m.
Things are gonna get nasty tonight- lots of tension in our apartment. Lord help us..... Moni and Susan had a few heated words late last night. This morning, Moni and I discussed it and we also talked about everything else that pissed us off. We thought nobody was home, but we soon found out that Susan was. I'm almost positive she heard us, but she tells us that she didn't. I think she's lying.

Saturday, March 22, 2003 11:29 p.m.
Jay, Lauren, and I went to Mickey's Retreat again this morning and played some volleyball... again. I love being active and not such a lazy piece of poop. Plus, I talked to my Mom this morning, and I really realized then how much I can't wait to be home in about two weeks! I love and miss the family and friends. Bah humbug. By the time I'm home, I won't have seen my parents for about three months, and same goes for my friends. The best part is, I get to be home just after my birthday which is on March 30th. I'm going to be 19... TOO OLD!

Friday, March 21, 2003 10:02 p.m.
Aaah I got to get out of work nice and early tonight... and then nobody's home. Bah! So now I'm sitting like a dork on the computer (as per usual). Tomorrow morning I think I'm playing volleyball at Mickey's retreat, yet again. Gotta love this stuff. Before work today, Jay and I went shopping at the outlet mall near our apartments. I bought three shirts for myself along with another new bikini! Again, I don't feel too chub. It's all good stuff- the shirts are absolutely hot, too. Very happy and it was all pretty cheap. I'll get some pictures of that stuff.

Friday, March 21, 2003 01:11 a.m.
Ooooh man... last night was sosososo nice. After volleyball (which kicked ass) I went to Tony's apartment and chilled with his friends. Lots of good stuff happened and I just ended up having an awesome night. Played v-ball at Mickey's Retreat today (technically yesterday) and now my face is all red. Noooo.

Wednesday, March 19, 2003 03:44 p.m.
So here's the good stuff: I got to play volleyball last night after work, played it this morning at Mickey's Retreat (4 on 4 and 3 on 3 games), I'm playing tonight after work (plus I get to do Glow on Segway, so the night will fly by), and tomorrow morning Jay and I are getting a game together for Mickey's Retreat yet again! I'm moving my big fat lazy ass! It's so wonderful.

Wednesday, March 19, 2003 03:01 a.m.
Yeaaaa for late night conversations!

Tuesday, March 18, 2003 01:53 p.m.
Alright, so here's the lowdown on yesterday. It was Saint Patty's Day, so obviously everybody was celebrating their butts off. We have a Bennigans located right around the corner from where I live, and there were cars lining the streets all up and down. Crazy drunk people walking around, it was hilarious. Anyhoo, I went to Publix in the morning to get some homintashen (I can't spell it) because it was the Jewish holiday called Purim. When I asked the people at Publix if they were selling it, they didn't even know what it was! That actually really disgusted me. I was pissed. My Mommy is sending some down to me in a package- I miss all that good food. At around 4, I went to my friend Lance's little get together and started getting toasted there. He used to be a bartender, so he knew how to make some yummy yummy stuff. I got a little stupid there, and then was back in my apartment by 615. I went over to Alvin's and flopped onto his couch and we watched the Simpsons together. I wanted to go to PI and so did he, so we decided we'd go together at 1030. We took his car over, and got there at 1030. Nobody was there yet really, so we just walked up and down the area of PI and went into a few stores. By 11, lots and lots of people were there. We spent most of our time just dancing our asses off and it was crazy fun. He got a really yummy drink from the Beach Club and was very willing to share it with me. He ended up buying three of them, and I indulged myself in all three of 'em! Good stuff. I was quite retarded by the end of the night, but it was all good stuff. We ran into Rico and George (across the hall neighbors who live with Jay) so we chilled for a bit. At the end of the night, we also saw Carrie Ann and Caryn (downstairs neighbors). It was time to go home, and Alvin and I were in no condition to drive. He only trusted me to drive his car even though Caryn did her best to get him to let her. I tried to convince Alvin to let her drive, but he wanted me to. I said hell no, it would have been stupid. Here's how it went: George and Alvin drove Alvin's car home, Carrie Anne and I drove Caryn's car home, and Caryn and Rico drove George's car home. It was absolutely messed up. I crashed at 300 and just died for a few hours there.... sleep, mmm! Now I feel a little icky, and I go to work at 430. Blech. Moni and I cleaned up the house (notice how I'm doing it yet again). Messed up. Off to not be bored, bye bye.

Monday, March 17, 2003 12:54 p.m.
Yeaa for almost 12 full hours of sleep. It's good stuff. My friend Lance is throwing a party today, so I'll be dropping by there later on, but for now I think I'm going to run to Downtown Disney and torture myself with things that I cannot afford. Good times, good times.

Sunday, March 16, 2003 06:16 p.m.
Today I did absolutely nothing yet again. I didn't even take a shower and get dressed until about 1. I was hoping to have a volleyball game tonight, but from the way the sky is looking right now, it's not going to happen. I hope it clears up by about 8 or 9 so people will show up (hopefully). I was enjoying watching movies on USA today, and then Jamie comes home. She starts talking and talking and talking throughout the entire thing. I ignore her, and pay attention to the movie since I'd never seen it before... she keeps talking. Do my roomies ever SHUT UP?!

Sunday, March 16, 2003 12:00 a.m.
After I come home from work, all I want to do is not talk to anybody and just relax- I've been talking to people for six and a half hours and I just want a bit of peace and quiet after all of that stuff. Of course, the second I get home and step through the door, I get, "How was your day? How was work? What's up?" from Susan. That's about when I want to shoot myself. The situation is only worsened when I get into my bedroom and Moni starts talking my ears off until I feel like they're going to bleed. I'm lying on my bed, eyes drifting, in a state of just shock and sheer exaustion from dealing with people for hours on end, and I come home to hear more. LEAVE ME BE! I don't want to talk about my day, and I don't want to hear about yours yet either. I need space. Sometimes I wish I lived by myself, as much as I love my roomies.

Saturday, March 15, 2003 01:17 p.m.
I got to meet Jay's girlfriend! I've mentioned him before, he lives across the hall from me. Claire, his girlfriend, is down here until Wednesday. Jay came bursting into my room this morning and woke me up at 10, introducing me to her. She's really cool, they're so cute together. It almost scares me! But she's really cool- I drove 'em to Typhoon and Jay gave me gas money and that was even better! Woohooo. Today is my Friday (I have tomorrow and Monday off) PLUS I get to do Segway tonight. Weehoo.

Friday, March 14, 2003 02:12 p.m.
Last night was crazy fun. Susan and I went to PI again. We went into the club Motion and it was so incredibly crowded. Nevertheless, I ran into one of the guys I play volleyball with, Beau. This guy is just absolutely crazy hot and incredibly awesome. He sees me next to him, comes up, gives me the nicest hug ever and starts grinding with me. Oooh that was very very nice. We danced for a bit and all which was very cool, and Susan was dancing with a guy also which I'm sure she was loving. We popped out of there after a bit and kind of just walked around aimlessly. Did a bit of shopping, tried on some stuff that we both were going to buy, and then we remembered that we forgot our credit cards at home. Stupid us. Came home, ran into Moni, talked with her for a bit, and went to sleep. Work today, blech... but after tomorrow I have two days off, and Lance from volleyball will be throwing a St. Patrick's Day party which I will be sure to attend. Woohoo. I just got a call from my Mom, and NYU says that they didn't get my Ramapo transcript, but when I had called NYU a couple of weeks ago asking if everything was there and okay, they told me they had everything they needed. YOU SUCK!

Thursday, March 13, 2003 01:21 p.m.
Last night at volleyball was pretty hardcore. I had my game going (finally) and I was playing like no other. We had a pretty diesel team and I was just having such a good time. When Tony came (he always plays volleyball with us and he rocks at it, plus he's being trained at my work place) he hugged me, put his hands on my face, and asked if he could kiss me. I would have loved to right then and there, but I *hate* PDA's and I'd be a hypocrite to go ahead and kiss a boy. Hopefully he'll be working with me today and I'll try and hook something up. We shall see if anything happens in the first place. Got all my chores done this morning, grocery shopping, cleaned the living room, reorganized it, vacuumed, etc etc. I feel so accomplished, woo! That's it for now.

Wednesday, March 12, 2003 03:32 p.m.
I HATE AIM! My screenname has been suspended for reasons unknown to me, so now my new screenname is lisabumba. IM me there.

Wednesday, March 12, 2003 02:23 p.m.
Volleyball like mad. Last night I got out there at about 8:00 and started playing with some girls who royally sucked, and a few guys. More people started to join who could actually play, so by 930 or 10 we had some real games going. I haven't exactly been playing as well as I'd like, but it's cool. We decided last night that only a few of us would go to Mickey's Retreat to play a game of 3 on 3. Brian, Brian, forget his name but he's from NJ and he has the same car as me, Jay, Brent, and I played some hardcore ball starting at 11. It was craziness, because the courts are so nice. Tonight we play at 9 like usual since it's Wednesday. Might wander around somewhere and just get outta here. Not in the mood to just sit around all day, really.

Tuesday, March 11, 2003 03:20 p.m.
Last night was so great at work. We had a lot of people there, so Michael (our manager) decided that some of us could go outside and start an activity that involved guests. We set up two goals using the giant plush Pooh Bears and two giant plush Tiggers. We started out with two teams of three, each team consisting of only employees. For a good fifteen minutes, only the six cast members were playing, but soon guests started to join in, and we all must have been out there for a good hour. It was so much fun and I hope to do that again. After I got home from work, I went to PI with Susan and there we ran into Erik, so we chilled with him for a bit, and I ran into my co-worker Sam. He was a bit tipsy, so it was cute. Today, Ben (a guy from volleyball) took me out to lunch which was very nice, and I'm seeing if I can't get a volleyball game together tonight. Woohoo.

Monday, March 10, 2003 01:20 p.m.
I got to do Glow on Segway last night, and let me tell you it was far too much fun. I wish I could do that more often... bah! It's so easy and people always ask you the same questions (how does it balance? how does it move?) but it's still crazy! Going to Pleasure Island tonight with Susan, so chances are that she will talk my ears off about how much confidence she is gaining, and "Do I look fat?" BAAAH. Happy birthday Jaime!

Sunday, March 9, 2003 02:29 p.m.
While waiting until the Verizon store opened to get my cell phone fixed (and it was fixed and works wonderfully again), I went into a Surf Store and bought myself a brand new bikini! I may have gained weight, but I still think I look pretty cute in the thing (I don't feel so chubby, just a little). Maybe if I stop eating like a moron, I'll look better- what a concept. Anyways, I also added more pictures to the webcam section of me in the same five poses as normal, but this time I'm in my room in FLORIDA! ::gasps:: I'm done.

Sunday, March 9, 2003 09:33 a.m.
I miss people from home a lot. I don't think I'm homesick, I just miss people a lot. Work today and I have tomorrow and Tuesday off. I wish I didn't, but they always schedule me in stupid ways. Brianna, expect a long long long long letter coming within the next week!

Saturday, March 8, 2003 09:31 a.m.
PS... I added some pictures to the Lisa section from Florida. Woohoo! More to come when I get my roll of film developed and when I remember to take my digital camera out with me! Stupid me.

Saturday, March 8, 2003 08:45 a.m.
Aaah, so I fell asleep at around 930 or 10 last night and just woke up a few minutes ago. That was some well needed and well deserved sleep. I have the 5-11 yet again which isn't so bad. Maybe I'll even see if I can come in early to get a couple of extra hours. I'll see if I can do that for the next few days, and maybe even on Wednesday come in at 3 and work until 9 again so I can do volleyball. That would be some hot shite. Who wants to donate to the "Lisa is poor as hell fund"? I have $5.72 to last me until Thursday. Who thinks I can succeed?! Not I.

Friday, March 7, 2003 09:01 p.m.
Today was sucking royally... I realized that I had left Derick's last night without my CD's- all of them. I called his cell and left a message about it, he called me back and I guess I sounded really upset. He thought I was pissed about my CD's, probably because I was in a spastic mode...but it wasn't the CD's, but what happened last night. I'm still fuming about it. So after all of this crap, I run into Jay. His ride to the Amtrak station bailed on him, so I ended up driving him all the way out. He gave me gas money which was cool, but I had some not so happy music in my car CD player, so that wasn't so hot. Dropped him off, filled up my tank with the oh so needed money, and went home. Susan saw that I was really upset, so she said we should go out. We went to Epcot and just walked around and it was just so well needed. We walked around the countries, ate pastries in France (we each had a strawberry tart), saw a skit, watched the Japanese drum show (which is *amazing*), and other things. It was just cool to get out and get my mind off of stuff. When we got home, Susan wanted to wax her brows and stuff, so we started to do that, but it wasn't going so well. She had gotten them done previously and the people who did it did a *horrible* job and left her eyebrows in shambles. We were trying to clean them up, but we both realized that we were just going to fook them up even more. We had a beauty emergency and we drove out to find a beauty salon. The people in there were *so* nice and *so* accomodating, and it was pretty cheap, too! I know where we're going to get our waxing taken care of. Tonight- I finished making my midterm study guide for my evil practicum class. I think I'll just chill for the rest of the night. Jay is gone and so is Alvin- dunno what I'm gonna do. It's so weird not hanging out with Derick at all. So soso weird. Not to say that I don't have any other opportunities available to me, but it's not the same.

Friday, March 7, 2003 12:33 p.m.
Last night... just sucked so badly. I went to Derick's at about 8:00 after I had bought some chips for the party. Mike and Josh were there also. I was the one who got the first cup of the jungle juice and it was yummy. I had two cups before I decided to go home and get my CD's and they decided to go for a walk. I got back there later on after Derick called me, and a few more people were there. Moni came with me and we were just dancing, drinking a little bit, and having a good time. After a few hours, Derick just isn't hanging out in the party anymore- he's in his bedroom with Amanda and Sarah. I'm outside and I have no idea what's going on, but I'm not having a good time at all. Mike keeps telling people not to go back there, so I can only assume certain things were going on. I was pissed, a little tipsy, and sitting in a corner. When you're sitting by yourself, you notice how everybody is paired up with somebody else talking and having a nice time. That was kind of depressing. Moni comes and sits next to me... she asks me if I want to go home, and I tell her no. I was hoping that he'd come back to the party soon. Not just for my sake, but when you throw a party, you should be out there with your friends. She asked me a few more times and I keep saying it's cool. I wait a little bit longer, and everybody just keeps breakign off into groups/pairs. I'm sick of it and about to cry. Moni sees this and asks me again if I want to go home... I can only nod my head because if I had talked I would have broken down. I was sosososo SO pissed and upset. I thought he'd want to spend a little time with me just before he left- I didn't want to monopolize his time at all, just maybe chill and talk and drink for five minutes together. Whatever. It didn't happen. Moni just held me around my waist as we were walking down the stairs, and I begin to cry. As we're walking down, I'm surprised to see Derick lying in the stairwell just staring at the ceiling. I look at him while I'm crying, and I think he was too fucking drunk to even notice me. That set me off even more. Moni and I walk home and I'm sniffling and balling like a baby. When we got back, I just cried myself to sleep. At 930 this morning, Derick walks into my bedroom and wakes me up. He came to say goodbye... he didn't really apologize. It hurt so much what he did last night and I don't even think that he knows it. I want to tell him, but it's difficult. He's officially gone. On a good note, I just got a really good news e-mail from Brianna (that's so awesome, my dear... I'd give you a hug if I were home!). I miss people from home.

Yesterday was fantastic. At about 1:00, I decided I wanted to just go walking around Epcot by myself again. I got bored after a while, so I went into the store that I work at and asked Pete (my manager) if I could start at 3 and end at 9 instead of work from 5-11. He gave me the okay, so I changed into my costume and worked my butt off. I had the East Kiosk, and it was *boiling hot* out there. My goodness it was bad. But I got out of there at 9 and headed straight to play volleyball which was absolutely hardcore. I was on a team with Lance, Erik and a few other people- I've known Lance and Erik for a few weeks now and we play pretty well together. We were out there until at least 1 AM, and then we all went into the pool and hot tub. Today is Derick's last day here... that sucks. But that means big big big party tonight and I'm so there. I gave him his gifts last night and he loved them (at least he seemed to!). I'm gonna miss the boy. Today I've got a few errands to run, and other than that I'm free- I'm off today and tomorrow so it's all good. Derick is leaving- IT SUCKS!

Wednesday, March 5, 2003 12:01 p.m.
We were all finally able to get together and have our apartment talk. I'm just glad I was able to say my part and everything. Hopefully whatever was said will stick in peoples minds and things will be cleaner 'round here.

Tuesday, March 4, 2003 04:56 p.m.
So.... I learned how to drive the Segway today. I was trained on it, and I'm fully allowed to use it at my job! How *crazy* is that?! I love love love it! I took a six hour class with one of my co-workers (Samir) and a few other people. It was just crazy learning how to work it, take care of it, etc etc. Now I have nothing to do, so maybe I'll go run by a park or something.

Monday, March 3, 2003 11:15 a.m.
Yesterday was crazy good *until the last moment*. At 1, I decided to pop over to Epcot to pick up some going away presents for Derick and to see if I could get some time off so I could go home and visit Lehigh. The scheduler lady wasn't there, so I just started to walk around by myself. Let me tell you, going by yourself is SO NICE. What did I buy, you ask! Well I went to the place that I work at, and bought him an adult poncho (for that night when we just walked around in the rain like dorks), some YUMMY chocolates (for when he had all those chocolates on my bed for Valentine's Day), and from the German pavilion I bought a beer mug with his name engraved on it. It's really really really cool. I also bought myself some chocolates, but I'm allowed! I walked around, like I said- and I stopped by the kiosk before I had to start my shift. Diany was there, and we ended up just chilling and talking for about an hour, even though she was supposed to be working. It was funny because I was the one giving everybody all the product information and directions to places even though I wasn't in costume and she was. Guess you had to be there... Alright, so when night came, I was going to give Laura, Carlos, and Anna a drive to Vista so they could catch the bus to Chatham. We get to my car, I try to start it AND IT WON'T START. I start to freak out. We all walk back to security, and I tell them to catch the bus so they don't have to wait for me. Carlos was sweet and decided to stay while security popped over to help. They jump started my car... you don't know how relieved I was. I was just really thankful that he waited with me, because I probably would have broke down and cried. I hate crying. Anyways... today is my Dad's birthday, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Gonna go get a bag for Derick's present, do a couple of things, and then relax until I have to go to work. Maybe I'll walk around the park again. Until then, farewell.

Sunday, March 2, 2003 10:15 a.m.
Betty and Stink Face Ray (Brianna's parents) are coming down to visit in May! WOOHOOOO! That's definitely going to be awesome to see them. Sososo happy. Talking to my Jen right now which is always a nice thing... my Dad passed some exam thing which is really important for his job (so yaaay for Dad) AND it's his birthday tomorrow. I talked to my Grammy on the phone yesterday which was really nice... I miss these people. I think my Mommy is coming to visit me at the end of April (I hope I hope)... and last night when I was working, I found out that Diany (a coworker) and I have the same birthday! Craziness. Work was definitely fun last night (at least after the store closed as we were counting the registers and stocking the floors). Good times good times.

Saturday, March 1, 2003 09:53 a.m.
Why are my roommates such freaking SLOBS! You should see our kitchen, it disgusts me. I refuse to clean it, I will not take out the garbage, and I'm *not* going to empty the freaking dishwasher. I'm always the person or one of two people who cleans this shit up, and it's not going to be me this time. You should really see this place- it's like living with freaking pigs. I *hate hate hate hate hate hate HATE* this. A freaking disaster area. Why was I cursed with SLOBS?! It's like a God damned cruel joke. When we filled out our roommate preference sheets before we came to Disney World, apparantly all of us checked off the box that said that we were neat people. That's why we're living together right now. I can tell you this, they have disgusting cleaning habits. I hate hate hate this. I don't want to deal with this for six more months! It's just not fair. Not fair at all.

Friday, February 28, 2003 10:57 a.m.
Last night was very cool. After work, I came home, got changed out of my evil costume, and headed over to Derick's apartment. Jeremiah was going to leave the following day (that being today) so they had a few people over and a butt load of drinks. There was Jeremiah, Derick, Courtney, Michelle, Peter, me, and a giant styrofoam container of jungle juice that tasted like lemonade. Oh it was good. I joined in their game of "Asshole" and I sucked royally. I was the next highest from actually being the asshole, so I got my butt kicked by everybody else. They kept telling me to drink and whatnot so I got a little tipsy. Yes a little bit tipsy indeed. It was just a really fun night, but sad at the same time. Courtney took lots of pictures, so I'm hoping I can get a copy of those and all. At about 2 o'clock, I decided to leave. I said my goodbye to Jeremiah, and it's just kinda sad that he's just not here today and I probably won't see him again. It's a poop. That's what's going to happen with Derick on the 7th, and that royally sucks. Gotta do the 5-11 yet again tonight. I figured, though, that I'm going to have a crazy big paycheck on Thursday, since I'll be working for 7 days straight. Good stuff. Now, I'm off to do other things.

Thursday, February 27, 2003 10:31 a.m.
Auto response from BRI IZ ME: i <3 my friends (especially this smelly one in particular....)
BRI IZ ME: it was more like "wham, bam, thank you ma'am"
Boothlisa: thats good stuff
BRI IZ ME: gotts love those DDD sessions
Boothlisa: dude- like no other....i have the poop hanging on my wall
Boothlisa: my friend jay came in here and read the envelope- "not just any poop, MY poop"
Boothlisa: i told him that you were a little bit slow

Hahahha God damn, I miss you! DDD FOREVER! ::superman pose::

Thursday, February 27, 2003 09:40 a.m.
Yesterday was just a damned good day. I got two packages in the mail- my Mommy sent me all these papers that I had gotten at my home address along with two of my acceptance letters, amongst other things. Yeaa for Mom! Scott did the absolute sweetest thing- I get a giant box from him- inside is the sweetest card where he was congratulating me on getting into SUNY Binghamton (it's where he goes also along with my Jen!)... along with that was the SUNY B mascot stuffed animal. That was really sweet and thoughtful and bah that was cute. Thank you, Scott! Then I went to work and that passed so slowly in the beginning- but I found out that I'm 100% learning how to drive the Segway. That's the little machine thing on two wheels that is upright- whatever direction you lean in, it goes. Those things are mad cool. After work ended at 11, I ran straight home and onto the volleyball court. There I saw Derick and Jeremiah just sitting down on the picnic bench along with two other guys. I asked what happened to the games and all, and he said everybody just left. *But* the two other guys who were there were throwing a party for their building, so crazy amounts of people started showing up. We played volleyball (really good games). I played until 2 in the morning- it was too much fun. Unfortunately, I was awoken by Moni at 7 in the morning- people were going to spray our apartment for bugs or something, and she told me that somebody had to empty the base cabinets of the kitchen. I was a little pissed because I was the one who cleaned *everything* out last time they had to do this. But I got my ass up after she left to do what she said needed to be done. At 930, Susan wakes me up telling me that the spray people are here. I get up so they can spray my room. I wait ten minutes and I don't see anybody- I ask Susan what's going on. She then tells me that they decided to come back later because when they asked if anybody was sleeping, she said that I was, so they didn't want to spray now. BAH! So now I'm up and running on not enough sleep. I went to the kitchen afterwards to get some cereal- I read the message again telling us what we had to clean out- I read it and it says in big bold letters: YOU DO NOT HAVE TO CLEAR YOUR BASE CABINETS. I was a little pissed because I woke up to do that- people need to learn how to READ and follow directions. For God's sake! Gotta go to work from 5-11 again tonight. I think I'll pop over to Derick's apartment tonight because they're throwing a party. His roomie (Jeremiah) is leaving tomorrow and that sucks. I definitely want to drop by, and then I'll go play volleyball 'cause they'll be playing again at 930. That will be the highlight of my day. Oooh oooh oooh! And yesterday while I was working at the kiosk, I was doing my usual meet and greet thing. I saw a little boy with his parents- he was wearing a Star Wars Episode II shirt. I don't know much about the whole Star Wars series, but I did happen to see that movie. I start talking to him about his shirt and the movie and he told me all about his favorite characters and stuff- he was just a really cute and sweet kid. So he walks towards his parents and I think they're about to leave, when the boy comes back to me and says, "My Mommy wants to take a picture of us!" It sounds cheesy, but that just made me sososo happy- a really sweet gesture. I took the picture with the boy, and I couldn't stop smiling. Aaah, that was good stuff.

Wednesday, February 26, 2003 03:12 p.m.
I've decided that I'm finally going to lose those 10-15 pounds that I've put on. I'm going to do it over the next few months and actually get off my lazy ass, be more active, and eat healthier. I hate my body enough at this point where I think I've finally gotten to the point of I *have to lose the weight*. I'm no different than I was this summer, but now that I'm in Florida, we wear more revealing clothing. I hate the way I look in a bathing suit, and I want to look as good as I used to. Even if I just lose 5-10 pounds in a few months, it will be a vast improvement. I'm gonna get back down to 115-120ish.

Wednesday, February 26, 2003 10:56 a.m.
Today is just one of those days where I'd prefer to be alone. I don't really want to talk to anybody or anything- need my alone time. Of course I have my seemingly pesky roomies to deal with. I can't wait until I have the apartment to myself. Just not in the mood to talk to the girls right now.

Tuesday, February 25, 2003 01:30 p.m.
Aaah.... so this morning I'm sleeping all peacefully. All of a sudden I have somebody jumping up and down on me and my bed! What the pooooooop! Jay had run into my bedroom to wake me up because they were going to Typhoon Lagoon and he asked me to join him and his friends. Groggily I say yes. Jay is a good and crazy boy- I'm so happy he lives across from us. So Moni, Jay, some of his friends from work, and I went to Typhoon Lagoon at 10 and had a good good time. The wave pool, going down the water slide that shoved your bikini bottom so far up your butt- fun stuff. Moni and I left at 12 or so and now I'm just chillin'. Oh, and last night I went to EPCOT with my bud Alvin- it was cool- we just walked around and we ate at Norway. Yummy yummy stuff! I'm off now, must work tonight from 5-11 (yuck).

Monday, February 24, 2003 02:07 p.m.
I......... GOT ACCEPTED TO LEHIGH UNIVERSITY! How crazy is that? I thought for sure that I would be rejected, but I have been accepted as a transfer student. Holy craptastic wonder! I spazzed and hit the floor when my Mom told me. Craziness. Sheer, utter, craziness.

Sunday, February 23, 2003 02:54 p.m.
Last night was *so* fun and *so* crazy. I couldn't have had a better time. I was hanging out with Derick for the entire afternoon, and we were chillin' in his apartment at around 6:00 when it started to rain. We look out there and decide we can't just stay in the apartment. I change out of my shirt and skirt into a pair of his boxers and a t-shirt of his, and he changes into some crap clothes. We just go outside in our bare feet and start walking around Vista Way. It's raining pretty hard and all, but not that badly. We're jumping in puddles, kicking water at each other, and dragging each other into these puddles. After about ten minutes of just walking around in the hard rain, it started *pouring* like mad. Then it got absolutely crazy. Derick and I walked past the basketball courts and there were people out there kicking around the soccer ball and throwing the football. We join in and people are sliding across the slippery basketball courts on their bare chests and it's freaking crazy. We then thought it would be cool to play volleyball on the sand court- Derick and I gathered people and started a boys vs. girls game and we kicked their tushies. It was just such a good night. Now I'm off 'cause somebody needs to use the phone!

Saturday, February 22, 2003 12:18 a.m.
I was accepted to SUNY Binghamton! Hahahahaha. Two down, three to go.

Friday, February 21, 2003 02:33 a.m.
Tonight I was a little bit pissed. I was supposed to be home at 10 o'clock since I had been there since 115. I was assigned to floor stock at Port- I had gotten everything out that I got from the shed all the way out in East Gibib and put things out. People were still shopping at that point and I found new holes in the merchandise that needed to be filled. It was getting late, and one of the managers (she had just come back from a month vacation so she was new to me and the other College Programmers) asked me if I wanted to stay longer. I said I really didnt'want to, but I also asked if they were short on people. She said that they were, so I said I'd stay until I finished stocking. I ended up staying until 11 and I was just mad because I really wanted to go home and just chill. I'm getting overtime (some goooood overtime which is time and a half pay) but I.. gah. When I got home, I talked to Moni for a bit, took a shower, and went to Derick's. We had a really nice night and we fell asleep cuddling. I came home just a while ago because I couldn't fall asleep, plus he has to get up really early to get to work for tomorrow. When I got home, I was pleasantly surprised when Moni was still awake and we just talked and talked again for a good 30 minutes. Tomorrow (technically today) I go to the dentists office... I hate the dentist. Scary scary!

Thursday, February 20, 2003 11:02 a.m.
Work from 115-10 today! How crazy is that? I finally get more than an 8 hour day. That's pure craziness. So hot in here right now... aaah.

Wednesday, February 19, 2003 11:57 a.m.
I have the coolest and best friends- I talked to Brianna yesterday and I told her about my acceptance- today I get a little e-card for congratulations and she wrote the cutest, sweetest message to go along with it! I love ya. Also, I check my e-mail and I have a message from Min! It was so sweet too and I love it and she's the coolest. I'm hoping to talk to Jen and Emma tonight, and I need to talk to Jaime and people from home and I miss people and AAAH.

Tuesday, February 18, 2003 03:26 p.m.
My sister came over today and we just chilled for a little bit. She asks me for a camera so I get her my digital camera. She stands back and holds the camera up to her eye and asks me, "How does it feel to be accepted to the University of Florida at Gainesville?" I just said, "Are you serious? Are you serious?!" At that point I just started freaking out and jumping up and down and screaming and laughing like a crazy freak and she got two very very good pictures. I look like such a geek. I'm just so happy right now! Good good good news! One possible transfer university down, four to go.

Monday, February 17, 2003 11:58 p.m.
How crazy is this- I have Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday off, yet I still get 30 hours for the two weeks. Oh so hot. Busy as hell today- everybody was buying sweatshirts like mad- the store was a MESS. Bah.

Monday, February 17, 2003 11:46 a.m.
Susan and I just did the workout from the bellydancing DVD- oh lord that was a sight to see. We both can't do *anything* from the workout, but it sure is fun to try! Feeling a bit relaxed and all which is nice- I think I'm gonna buy my own DVD for workout or something. It seems like its something that we really really really might do when we're together. 'Tis weird.

Monday, February 17, 2003 02:52 a.m.
It's time to go to sleep, but I'm not tired! I just got an e-mail from Brianna's Mommy. That's all nice stuff right there. She's so cute. My Mommy is home today (well... technically yesterday) from the hospital, but she's feeling all nautious according to my Dad. I hope it's not too painful or anything for her. I just feel bad.

Sunday, February 16, 2003 09:33 a.m.
Oy last night. Went to work at 5- the computer systems where we get our assignments at work were so messed up. Oh so messed up. We go to do our crazy assignments anyway and there's just a bunch of confusion. Oh yeaaness. Anyhoo, I'm out at the kiosks (as per usual) when I begin to get this KILLER headache. It just gets progressively worse and worse. I end up deciding to leave early so I only got three hours last night. That's gonna kill my paycheck. I drive home and all the lights are killing my eyes. I get home, change immediately and flop on my bed. At about 945 Derick comes over and we just chill for a bit (I had just taken the migraine medicine and I was hoping it would kick in). We decided to just walk around. It was really stuffy in the apartment and we thought some fresh air might be nice. Walking around all dizzy... by 1030 he drops me back off at the apartment because he saw how miserable I felt. He dropped me off, I flop on my bed, fall asleep by 11 and now I've been up for less than an hour. Good sleeping! Still have quite the headache, though. Today is definitely chill day until I have to work at 5.

Saturday, February 15, 2003 09:04 a.m.
Aaah I didn't get much sleep. I came back from Derick's after 2 AM, went online for a bit, read some more of The Hobbit, and finally fell asleep around 3 or 330. This morning, Moni comes in (I think she was at Max's for the night) and makes so much noise getting ready as per usual. That's at 730. I fall back asleep until just after 8 when the phone rings. Who the HELL calls before 10 anymore??? Has anybody heard of the 10 o'clock rule? Even more appropriate would be 11, but hey. Grrr... I couldn't fall back asleep so now I'm on here yappin away. Work from 5-11 (woofreakinghoo).

Saturday, February 15, 2003 02:20 a.m.
So what started out as a not so great day turned out excellent. I went into work at 5:00. I got my break at 7 and there was a sign on the computer that we could sign up for an early release from work- I wanted to get out of work as soon as I could so I could hang out with Derick. I signed up for the release right after I finished my break- I let Carlos (a cool coworker of mine) sign in before me because his break time had ended before mine, and it would be a little weird if I signed in before him. Anyways, as it turns out, I was not given the early release. Everyone before me and up to me but not including me was given early release if they signed up for it. It's just not fair- I'm there on time (even very early) every time for work. I've *never* called in sick or done anything bad. The people who were given early releases call in sick a lot, always get early releases, etc etc. I was pissed for the rest of the night, let that be known. Who the HELL wants to work on Valentine's Day? Anyways, after work I drove my ass home as quickly as I could. As soon as I unlock the door, Moni and Susan JUMP at me! They tell me that I have to close my eyes and I can't look. They lead me into my bedroom, then Moni takes her hands away from my eyes. On my bed I see Hershey's chocolate kisses scattered about, M & M's, a Hershey's chocolate bar, a bouquet of flowers, and 2 boxes of chocolate with a Happy Valentine's Day balloon. At first I thanked Moni and Susan for it, but they said to me that they didn't do it! Derick had come over to our apartment while I was at work and Susan was home. I was speechless- Moni and Susan said that my face just turned absolutely red. I have *never* had a valentine or anything like that, so I think this is pretty damn close to it. I immediately called him, but I got his voice mail. When we finally got in touch, I just went over to his apartment and we watched Gone in 60 Seconds. We both were cuddling and dozing and it was just all good. What started out bad turned out to be oh so nice.

Thursday, February 13, 2003 11:34 p.m.
It's cheesy and most people will hear girls bitching about it- but I'm 18 years old and I haven't had a valentine... EVER. I don't t hink that's gonna be any different this year. This means girls dress in black and no red or pink. Wait, that's the way I normally dress, so I can just go as normal.

Thursday, February 13, 2003 01:46 p.m.
My Dad called me and said my Mom was in recovery now and that she's doing alright and all. I get the full update later. One thing I love though is getting to talk to all my friends from back home... I got to speak with Bri, Min, Todd, Dan, and Sebbie. I miss my Jersey people. To Scott: sorry I missed your message there! I'll call you when I can. I'm off to do nothing. Wee.

Thursday, February 13, 2003 10:26 a.m.
My Mom had her surgery yesterday.. I haven't heard from my Dad as to how it went and all- it was supposed to last about 10 or 13 hours or something ridiculous like that- I know everything'll be okay, it's just kinda weird, ya know? Last night I played volleyball and didn't have an entirely horrible time either. Good stuff. Chilled with Derick for a while and we just talked the entire time- it was awesome to just have a cool conversation with somebody- that doesn't happen too often down here. Went to sleep at around 2, and this morning I was awoken four times. Yes four. Soooo mad. First, Moni wakes me up to ask me if I'm going to the character breakfast at the Pavilion- I said no, go away, I'm gonna sleep. Then my Sister calls me but she meant to call my Dad. Then Moni is being LOUD when she's getting ready, just like she's loud EVERY morning. Then Susan's uncle calls up at 10... I gave up even trying to sleep. Today I'm gonna pick up my paycheck, buy a few necessities, and just chill. Good stuff.

Tuesday, February 11, 2003 03:13 p.m.
Last night and today have been awesome thus far- I went to PI with Derick since we get in for free on Mondays- I drove there aaaaaall by myself. I'm a big girl now! We stayed at the Beach Club the entire night dancing to good 80's music and an awesome live band- they did Beastie Boys, Green Day, and some good good bands. Today was even better! I got a package from my Mommy with all types of body care products (lotions, bath gel, etc etc). AND- I got an e-mail from Min just basically saying hello to see what's up- I love when that stuff happens. It really made my day! PLUS- Jen is coming down to visit I believe some time in March and I can't WAIT! I'm so happy right now. Work from 5-11 and then I have tomorrow and Thursday off. Woohoo!

Monday, February 10, 2003 10:00 a.m.
So when I went to Derick's last night, Jeremiah (his roomie), and Courtney were there too! Derick cooked dinner for Jeremiah and I (Courtney didn't want anything)- he made for himself and Jeremiah a yummy looking chicken dish with pasta, and I got a cheese and special sauce something quesadilla! Sooooo yummy. Work at 430 today until 11. Have to close today... bah humbug. I had the most wonderful shift yesterday- it just flew by! Let that happen again today.

Sunday, February 9, 2003 08:30 a.m.
Tonight is going to be oh so nice- a girl Courtney, Brian from downstairs, and I (possibly a few others... but I doubt it) are going to Derick's tonight. He's gonna be our bitch and cook a meal for all of us, and then we're gonna watch Spaceballs. Hotness, eh? Indeed. Early shift today- 1030-430. I'm so used to my late shifts until 11 that waking up this early is kinda tough now. Bah humbug. Gotta catch the bus in about an hour, so now I'll enjoy my breakfast of waffles and milk, and then... relax.

Saturday, February 8, 2003 09:53 a.m.
Last night was oh so nice. I got to go to sleep early... 1230ish. Woke up just a minute or two ago, so I'm in heaven right now. Not much to do today- just work. They were selling books in the cast services building, so I bought myself a Greek Mythology book and a Dilbert phone book address thingy. I went grocery shopping yesterday- I guess it's the first time I did something like that for myself- and it sounds cheesy, but it felt good to pay for all of that with my own money- I picked out what I wanted to eat, and I wasn't doing it for anybody else. It's weird when your Mom (occasionally your Dad) does this for you. Unfortunately, not very much money went into my direct deposit account because I make diddly squat- so I did my grocery shopping, spent 40 bucks there, spent just under 10 on my books, and now I'm left with 20 until next Thursday. It's a good thing I'm cheap- don't spend it on much.

Friday, February 7, 2003 10:53 a.m.
WOrk from 430-11! Yet again... baaah. Last night was really chill. When I got home from work, I called Derick- he came over and we fell asleep watching Spiderman. Today I'm going to do a bit of my homework for the practicum course I'm taking, and go to Publix to do some grocery shopping! My direct deposit is working now, so it's all good. And I'm listening to Ave Maria (yet again) right now... so beautiful and so relaxing. Off to do work!

I got a letter from Bri yesterday through the mail- love letters! Hehehe. Expect one in return, me dear. In just a few days.

Oooh sweet sweet days off. I have today and tomorrow off (how hardcore is that). Derick and I are gonna do something today- not so sure what. Maybe go to a park or something! We shall see. It's beautiful outside right now- just a bit cloudy, but nice and warm. I think my fever is going down, my migraine isn't so constant anymore. So now... I think I shall relax until I give the boy a call at around 11 or so. I'M OFF! HAHA.

I forgot to tell you- last night my cousin Andrew called me. He's engaged to Leanne! I'm so happy for him... when he told me that, I went freaking insane. It's so awesome... it's also weird, because he's the oldest of the four first cousins (Andrew, Matthew, Emmy, and I) and he's getting married! Weird, but good stuff!

You know... it was definitely well past the proper time to archive all of my entries. Now that I have to use my freaking 56 K modem, I realize how long my page takes to load because I have far too many entries. So here is my fresh start. Last night I felt so disgusting. Like I said in my previous entries, I'm really sick. I still have my fever- I'm *burning up* right now. I have to work from 5-11... I may even call out... but I need the money. I may go in, and if I feel horrible, I'll just leave. I fell asleep at around 9:00 last night, drifting in and out. I guess a few people were over last night... Moni had the TV *blasting*, people were screaming- I was so mad, but I honestly could not move because everything on me is so soar, and I couldn't scream because it hurts to talk. At around 11:00 or so, Moni comes in while I'm sleeping and decides it would be funny to scream and wake me up. I really really did *not* appreciate that. I need as much freaking sleep as I can get right now. Plus, I wake up this morning, and the freaking air system is off again. I thought we had discussed this problem, but apparently it is not resolved. Derick called me at 12:00 and woke me up... usually I'm still awake at that point, but not last night! He said to me, "Yeah, we're gonna go to PI (Pleasure Island) tomorrow night (Monday)." I said that he could go if he wanted to... but he meant that *we* were going to go. I told him how I wasn't feeling great, and he said that if I wasn't well enough to go, he'd stay home with me. That was the sweetest thing. Today I have to pop into work by 5:00, and I'm working until 11:00. Like I said, I'll see how that goes. Otherwise, today I think I'm going to buy some stamps, do a laundry, and RELAX. No more complaining from me for the moment. Oh wait, but good stuff happened yesterday- I talked to Scott, Dan, Jaime, and Jen- I wish I was online when Tracie had IM'd me, so if you're reading this, HI MY DEAR! That's all for now. Byeeee.
