So I'm at home and I just went to Livejournal because its saved as a Favorite on my home computer. I literally feel like the last time I read/wrote anything here was AGES ago. And I don't really think of myself as someone who changed drastically in college, but reading this has made me realize how different I am. I mean I know everybody matures and changes but I guess I just never noticed until now.

Bah

This has been such a crappy day. Why can't anything go right??????????
Boo. I want to g o home.

Sun, 01 Oct 2006 20:24:18 GMT

So I dont know if anyone actually still reads livejournal anymore because I haven't for like 6 months, but hey....whatever. I'm obviously slacking/on Facebook and definitely not doing work of any kind right now, even tho my away message says I am. Hah. ::Feels sneaky:: Pshhh today I have done a total of 3 things: wake up, eat, and LEARN TO DRIVE A STICK SHIFT! Ha. No I am not joking.
It was quite entertaining actually. My redneck roommate Faith (well shes not really a redneck....come on now) drives a stick Ford pickup and I've been bothering her for....well basically EVER to let me drive it. I finaly convinced her by bribing her with (what she thought was) the loaf of Banana Bread my Mom sent me. (But obviously I cut off half of it for myself first...I mean do you really think I would give up all that food.) Hahahaha it was a thorougly entertaining sight. We went to the Food Lion parking lot and Faith was flipping out because I kept forgetting to press the clutch when switching gears. Whoops. Whatever. I seriously need my own car tho. Like...I feel so bad having to bum rides from all my friends everywhere. Its not a problem going to my school, cuz pretty much everybody takes the bus to class since parking on campus is so ridiculously gay. It just sucks on weekends cuz I have no way to get anywhere so I constantly have to make sure I have a way to get where I'm going and then home after. I really have to work on my parents because I can't deal. I don't even care if I have a piece of shit car as long as it runs.
I'm gonna need a car even more in the future cuz I'm living in a house which isn't on the same regular bus route to all the apartment complexes. Which I am SOOO excited for. 7 of my friends and I are living in this awesome house and it's gonna be SO much fun. We sign the lease next month. It's gonna be total craziness. And it worked out really well because we know the girls who are living in it now, so they're kind of handing it down to us. It is so cute, it's an old Victorian with 4 bedrooms, a kitchen and 2 bathrooms on both floors. It even has a name!!! It's called The HighRise,(it's on High Street) and it doens't look super nice on the outside cuz it used to be the AKL (frat) house, but the inside is all painted and nice now thanks to the girls who have been living there for the past 2 years. The only part that's gonna suck is that we have to bring EVERYTHING. Like....beds, tables, desks, EVERYTHING. But the girls who live there now said they might be able to leave some things, and I think it will come together with 8 girls...my Mom said she can give me my brother's old bed cuz they're re-doing his room, and potentially our old dining room set. And I'm going to buy Kristen's (one of my current roommates) desk from her because she's graduating this spring and doesn't have a place for it. But I think I'm gonna have to do some serious garage sale shopping this summer to get other random stuff. My dad's already pissy about how we're going to get all my crap down here. Eh. I figure at least once we move everything in next fall, we won't have to do it again for another 2 years. We're even gonna have a dog because my friend Katelyn is bringing hers!!! I seriously am NEVER going to do work. And I think I'm a slacker THIS year....ha!
So I should really go switch my laundry around...but I am preoccupied by my roommates watching Dane Cook. They got me hooked. SO entertaining.
I think next weekend I might get my third hole pierced. My friend Katelyn got her nose done this weekend and (although I am pretty anti-nose piercings because they are SUCH a trend right now) it actually looked really cute on her. My other friend Jen got her second cartiledge, but I really don't like it. I'm glad I never got mine. And my friend AManda got her rook (?) pierced, which is just GROSS to me. NO. I just kind of want a new piercing. They are soo freaking addicting. I decided I'm not gonna get another tattoo, at least not for the time being. I like mine.
I should really call my Mom soon. I haven't talked to her in so long. I've been super busy, and this week is gonna suck cuz I have Spanish, Stats and Public Relations tests, 2 of which I just found out about on Friday. Damn. And next weekend I'm going to be all alone in my apartment because Kristen is going home, Faith is going down to visit her friend at VA Tech, and Amy is going to a wedding with Travis. Maybe I will actually get some studying done? HAHAHA yeah, okay self. I may have to have a party. The temptation is just too much....
And then in 2 weeks I go hooomee!!!! :) AND THEN THE WEEKEND AFTER THAT = WHEATON TO VISIT SARAH!!!!! YAAY! I'm so excited. About everything! Life is just so good right now.

Wed, 02 Aug 2006 01:07:11 GMT

holy shit, i never update anymore. not like i really did to begin with, but whatever.
so i've become obsessed with the show Miami Ink on TLC. and it has convinced me to get a tattoo. well actually i always kind of wanted one, but now im actually getting one. i decided i want a starfish on my hip, a little higher than Nicoles, but still under where my bathing suit is so only special people get to see it. such as....not my parents. ever. because i would be in some deep shit if that ever happened. and plus i think it looks trashy when women have huge, tacky tattoos. ahh i'm so excited to get it!!!
next week is going to be amazing...Friday is OAR which i can't wait for and then after that i'm going to the beach for a week with my whole family for my grandma & gpa's 50th wedding anniversary. yay. i definitely don't go to the beach enough, especially considering i live in new jersey.
it just sucks cuz when i get back i have exactly 1 week until i have to go back to school. and i hate knowing that i only have a certain number of days left until any given change. even tho its inevitable. whatever.
i got my bank statement today and i've only made $850 this entire summer. which is....slightly pathetic. i need to work on my saving skills. and my not-buying-a-$200-bag skills. i should probably just have worked more in the beginning of the summer instead of sitting on my ass for almost all of May. damn. i'm totally going to miss work when i go back to school. its going to be sad not being able to complain about my boss and eat free cookies and be obsessed with Scott anymore. he is so hot.
oh crap, time for Real World. it's really quite pathetic how much my free time has come to revolve around TV.

Tue, 04 Apr 2006 00:50:58 GMT

I am so nostalgic right now! I just spend like an hour going through old Webshots and amusing myself with ancient pictures of the Posse frolicking around Sarah's beach house and popping out of sun roofs in Hilton Head. Sigh.
Ah, high school....Walking through the halls in a block formation at stoner pace...Complaining about taking the bus....Missing the bus....Forcing Betsy to drive Sarah and I home....hehe......The Madre Mobile.....Seepovers in various basements....HOT CHEESE......Support Group.....Starbucks every Friday......

i missssss you guys!!!

home to me is reality, and all I need is something real

Sat, 04 Mar 2006 06:05:34 GMT

I would just like to say that there is nothing like coming home. I love love love my family!!!!!!!!!!
And also....no bed can ever compare to this one.
Sigh. Soooooo tired.

Thu, 09 Feb 2006 02:39:22 GMT

I am slightly stressing out.
I found out today that I don't have a housing contract to live on campus next year, which really just fucks up my life. Apparently it's a totally random lottery system for housing contracts, and (being THE SHAFT) I got wait-listed. TYPICAL OF MY LIFE. Luckily....Amy got shafted too. As did a bunch of my friends. So I'm #79 on the waiting list, Amy's #203. So at this point, me, Amy and 2 of our shafted friends are gonna get together and get an apartment....which I guess could be fun. At least we're all shafted together. And there was nothing I could really have done differently, so I guess I just have to make the best of it. My parents don't really care, since living in an apartment off campus is actually cheaper than living on campus... and at least I won't have to pay for laundry/utilities and all that. But it just sucks because I kinda wanted to live on campus for another year. Oh well.
So this weekend will be spent touring apartment complexes. Yay.

Fri, 03 Feb 2006 03:54:30 GMT

omg so MY LIVEJOURNAL FINALLY WORKS AGAIN!!!!
i dont know why, but i havent been able to log in for the past month, and i have been in serious withdrawl!!!!!
EXCITEMENT!!!!!!!

PS. I MISS YOU ALL!!!!!!!! SO MUCH!!!

Thu, 29 Dec 2005 23:22:16 GMT

yeah, so i know i said that when i go away to college, i would update more.
right.
maybe i'll make it my New Year's Resolution: update more.
there we go. my first official resolution.
i really can't believe New Year's Eve is this Saturday. i also really can't believe that Christmas was just Sunday. WHERE DOES THE TIME GO??!?!?!
i'm not really looking forward to going back to school in 10 days. as much as i love JMU, i'm just getting settled back in Wyckoff, and i like it. i like being in my room and eating my food and watching my so-technologically-advanced-that-i-can't-figure-it-out TV and chillin with my family! and i like just sitting around, watching tv or driving randomly with my very best friends in the entire world.
i just really like being home right now.

Do you hear what I hear?

Wed, 16 Nov 2005 05:52:43 GMT

i just downloaded.....18 Christmas songs on itunes. Amy and I are PUMPING Christmas music in room 314. HELL YES!
um -- I AM SO EXCITED FOR CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
only 40 days! (isn't that crazy?!)
AND......more importantly......
5 DAYS UNTIL I COME HOME!!!!!!!!!!! and Thanksgiving and pumpkin pie and my family and my puppy and my FRIENDS!
i cannot wait.
you don't understand.
i am SO ready for a break.

it's so much better, when everyone is in

Thu, 06 Oct 2005 05:05:41 GMT

so i am seeing Keith Urban in concert next month! and i don't know any of his songs, but that's okay! because this gives me an excuse to buy cowboy boots!!!!!!!!
and i am SO EXCITED for friday because it's parents weekend! and i can't wait to see my mom & dad and i don't really care if that makes me a loser!!!

!!!!!!

Fri, 16 Sep 2005 17:02:35 GMT

i'm SOSOSOSOSOSO glad it's the weekend. i seriously died getting up for my 8:40 psych class this morning.
i went to see Mr. & Mrs. Smith last night, and it was so good. plus it only cost $2.50 which totally made my week.
it's so strange, being inside this college "bubble". i sometimes forget there's life outside JMU.

Sat, 10 Sep 2005 21:04:33 GMT

last night i went to a highlighter party!!!!!!! and it was so amusing!!!!!!!!

i love college!!!!!!!

Fri, 09 Sep 2005 01:26:02 GMT

one thing that's cool about college is that you can have waffles for dinner and no one cares. i just think that's so amazing.

oh, and the OC came back tonight!!!! it was so good. ahhh how i love television.

wake me up when september ends

Thu, 08 Sep 2005 05:51:58 GMT

so i talked to my mom on the phone today, and i discovered that (i can't believe i'm admitting this) but, i actually do miss her a little. and it's kind of unexpected, but i also really miss my sister and brother and MY PUPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!
i'm in kind of a melancholy mood right now. kinda lonely, kinda tired, kinda bored.
i can't wait until Thanksgiving so i can see all my friends from home and hear all about everyone's lives away at school. but that seems like so far away.
i should really sleep since i have a 9:30 class tomorrow morning.
sigh.

Mon, 29 Aug 2005 03:12:06 GMT

i love how now that i'm in college, people are suddenly interested in my life. i've gotten like 40 emails from random relatives and people like "HOW ARE YOU!!!??" it's funny.
tomorrow is my first day of classes. i'm trying to organize my books and figure out where the hell i'm going. i'm kind of excited to finally be starting....hopefully i have interesting people (read: hot guys) in my classes.
i have like an eternal migrane from lack of sleep, but it's all good. today has been fun.

Fri, 26 Aug 2005 20:53:44 GMT

wow. JMU is so fun.
last night i went to a party off campus in the apartments where the upperclassmen live, and it was awesome.
what was even awesomer was watching these two fat ass bitches on my floor get TOTALLY stoned and drunk, and proceed to eat a whole pizza and 1/2 a box of Pop Tarts.
(aside from those two) i love everyone in my dorm. all the people here are really friendly, and i love taking showers at 3am and having conversations with the person in the stall next to me.
my roomie, Amy is so cool. we have so much in common, and she's really easy to talk to and have fun with. this afternoon the two of us and this other girl named Faith (i know...she's from Alabama... but she's cool) hit up the Ben and Jerry's in Harrisonburg and made a pact to watch out for each other at parties and stuff. they're both really sweet.
i'm slowly settling in here, but it still kinda feels like i'm at some summer camp, and i'll be home in a week. they're keeping us busy with orientation stuff like scavenger hunts and pep rallys during the day and movies and concerts at night. i can't believe i've only been here 2 1/2 days. it feels like 2 months. i guess that's good and bad. i dunno.
classes start on Monday and the upperclassmen move in tomorrow. i'm excited!!

i'm in college!!!

Thu, 25 Aug 2005 19:23:15 GMT

oh my god. i'm really on my own. i don't live with my parents anymore.
weird.

strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard, their shadows searching in the night

Mon, 22 Aug 2005 06:01:47 GMT

i think i'm bipolar when it comes to college. i have moments of EXTREME EXCITEMENT one second and feelings of COMPLETE FEAR the next.
i'm also in a constant state of unbelief.
i can't believe i'm leaving in less than 48 hours!!!!

Wed, 17 Aug 2005 06:45:02 GMT

why am i still awake?

i'll be seeing you...

Wed, 17 Aug 2005 05:59:45 GMT

okay well i guess since i can't talk to anyone, i might as well update.

tonight was my second goodbye. i had to say goodbye to Sarah for 3 months. i don't think it's hit me yet that she's leaving. i still feel like i'll be across the street at her house tomorrow night, watching tv and chilling. argghh this sucks!

it's like i'm excited to go to college, but i'm scared. i'm ready, but i'm nervous. i want to meet new people, but at the same time i wish i didn't have to be separated from my amazing Posse. i'm going to miss you all SO, SO , SO much.

i wish all the people i love could go to the elusive CPU (Cool People University) and we could all live happily ever after together.

god damn i wish AIM would work so i could talk to people. ugh.

college countdown: 1 week.

Wed, 17 Aug 2005 05:44:55 GMT

ARGHHHHHHh i'm so fucking pissed off at AIM!!!! how am i supposed to be an insomniac if i can't talk to my insomniac friends online???? GRR i hate computers/technology!!!!

Mon, 18 Jul 2005 00:03:41 GMT

i love summer.
life is good.
i have spent the past few days in the Poconos with Ali a la casa de Allie. it was muy divertido. many fun times and lots of good food. we became quite the little lards. or in my case, big lards. but what else is new!
i leave for the shore soon. but not soon enough. i can't waittt.
today i watched The Notebook for about the 77 billionth time. it is just that good. (and Ryan Gosling is just that hot.)
but today i also realized how fast time is going. and how scary it is that in 37 days i will be 400 miles away at JMU. but it's not JMU and college life that i'm scared of, it's time. i feel like time is moving so quickly and what if it never slows down??!!! or what if i never catch up! it seems like just yesterday i was stressing out about SATs and grades and getting into college. and now here i am, starting school in a month.
weird.
