Back in the 'Boro [September 05, 2007 @ 10:20am]
[ mood | awake ]

I'm liking my second year at school so far. My new roommates are really nice and easy to get along with. My first day of classes went well yesterday... its nice not having any morning classes. Yesterday I went to a meeting about service projects around here, and apparently they have one at Head Start, and since I'm familiar with it from working there all summer, I might go for it here too. I'm looking forward to the English Club and the Elementary Club starting, as well as work starting next week. My boss gave me a sweet $0.50 raise that was really exciting. :)

Like last year, I don't mind being away from home, in fact I actually enjoy it. Its just really hard being away from Chris when I was in the habit of seeing him practically everyday. I'm a little jealous of my roommates Tekia and Erica, because their boyfriends live around here and they get to see them constantly. Chris might be coming here next week, but if not I know I'll be going up to Hofstra for his birthday.

Thats really it for now, I just thought I'd write a little something before the day unfolded.

Summer [June 30, 2007 @ 1:13pm]
[ mood | sick ]
[ music | The Shins - Saint Simon ]

Summer is almost halfway over. Halfway isn't even so bad, since there's still two months to go, but its weird that two months have already gone by so quickly. The past two months have kind of been a blur: got into some really bad fights with Chris over things that I finally needed to come clean about, had a one day job as a Crocs salesperson (yes, laugh at me), finally went to the Bronx Zoo after a failed attempt at going to a Yankees game, and finished a night class. I haven't seen all the people I've meant to enough, but there are enough reasons why that probably is. I just started working at Center for Family Resources in Ringwood, where I get to play with and take care of babies and toddlers. Its a great job, except that I haven't build up a "baby immunity" yet, and the little ones got me sick after being there for about two days. Summer hasn't been a let-down, but it also hasn't been what I had hoped it would be. I'm okay with that though... there is still time.

life thus far [November 17, 2006 @ 7:00pm]





I am grabbing college by the horns.

Highschool came and went. I remember the 14 year old me that came to Lakeland four years ago... and I'm happy to say that I've changed for the better since then.

Graduation was weird. First I felt annoyed, then anxious, then sad, then completely happy to be finished. There are plenty of people I am so, so, so happy never to be seeing again, but there are also so many that I know I will see and won't forget.

In the end... it was bittersweet, but I'm ready to move on to whatever is waiting for me.

I find it really hard to believe that May is almost over, prom is two weeks away, and highschool is coming to a close.
I can't even think of the words to say, because everything has already been said.
The most I can really say is that I'm sorry, I'm thankful, and I'm happy for all the things that have happened in my life up until this point.
As scared as I am to move past what I know, I'm really looking forward to whatever I still have yet to find.

I'm going to do the right thing, I'm going to listen to my dad, I'm going to go for one friend and against another, and I don't want anyone to be hurt.

When you have burned your bridges at your own fault, please don't expect anyone to re-build them but yourself.
I can only point the finger; I cannot blame myself for something I did not start.
If you claim that you want to fix something so badly, then just do it.
I won't.

this need not be taken seriously... but... [February 20, 2006 @ 3:34pm]
I think the Big 5's need to be expanded to the Big 6's:

Looks are based on body, face, and personal style. (10 points)
Intelligence is based on grades, common sense, ability to hold an interesting conversation, and wit. (20 points)
Thrust is based on both a willingness to thrust and the ability to bring the thrust. (20 points)
Money is based on the guy's money and work effort, not money that his family has. (10 points)
Personality is based on friendliness, sense of humor, etc. (20 points)
Fun is based solely on how much fun the guy is when you're with him. (20 points)

Any additions to that are gladly welcome :)

Life has been pretty good lately. In fact, its been so good, that I could really care less about updating this with anything important, because I don't want to chance the amount of good things that have been happening lately.

"I want to live life, and never be cruel.
I want to live life, and be good to you.
And I want to fly,
I'll never come down,
and live my life,
and have friends around."

Who you've become has scared me.
I might be further from the truth, but you don't seem so happy anymore.
I'm worried about who you are, what you are doing, and whether or not you're being true to yourself.
I wish there was an easier way to say this.

"Please be honest Mary Jane, are you happy?
Please, don't censor your tears."

dammit [December 11, 2005 @ 7:40pm]
Its the most awesome feeling to know that my life is in my own hands, that I'm able to make my own decisions, and that I'm old enough and responsible enough to handle the consequences. Phew.




"And it's happened once again,
I'll turn to a friend,
someone that understands,
sees through the master plan.
But everybody's gone
and I've been here for too long
to face this on my own,
well I guess this is growing up."

"Ay bitch! Wait 'til you see my dick" [November 15, 2005 @ 3:51pm]

Wednesday thru Sunday was nothing but intense. I really cannot remember the last time I've felt that completely and genuinely happy.

I can't go into detail on livejournal because that just undermines how awesome the trip was, so, if you really want to know what happened, you can ask. All I can say is... wow.

Pictures I took from the trip are posted on my photobucket here.

TCNJ was beautiful.
St. John's was awesome.
Montclair isn't bad for a safety school.

... And there is nothing else going on in my life right now besides an endless college search and way too much school work.

When I let things go and lose focus, I see more clearly. And I have a better time.

All I can say is...
'FUCK YOU' TO WHOEVER THREW A BOULDER INTO MY FUCKING WINDSHIELD. YOU DON'T DESERVE TO BREATHE, YOU FUCKING PRICK.
Phew. Basically, I left my car at the Weis parking lot (like I do on occasion) and went out with LK. When she was dropping me off around 11:30 I came back to my car to find a fucking boulder sized rock next to it, and my windshield looking like

LK drove me back home, I got my dad, we drove down to my car, called the cops, filed a report, yadda yadda. I have a feeling I know who did this, and all I can really say is 'What the fuck? Did I ever do anything to you? To ANYONE?'. I was in hysterics, upset that someone would do that to my car, and even more upset because I know and believe that no one in their right mind has neither a right nor a fucking reason to do that to my car. So end note, fuck you.
