yesterday was so awesome it deserves an entry. i went to pittsburgh with chris so he could turn in some stuff for school. that took about 5 minutes...so we had the rest of the day to hang out. so of course we ate at the primanti brothers for lunch.
and then..
we hit the museum circuit.
both art AND natural history.
we saw lots of famous things...van gogh, monet, rodin, matisse, picasso...blah...blah...blah. we saw some interesting 'modern' art. i dont think tv should be a form of art, not in a museum anyway. my favorite by far was "mr. welfare". i dunno who painted it but it was amazing lol.
then we hit up the natural history. i <3 dinosaurs. theyre redoing everything and its awesome. new room for the brontosaurus skeletons...new t-rex skull...radioactive rocks...and the BOG PEOPLE. i almost bought a poster of my favorite dinosaur...the archaeoptryx. but it was $15...so i didnt.
by that time our feet were fallin off...thats my last attempt at trying to look nice. nice shoes = pain. soooo we started driving home. in rush hour traffic. with snow. EVERYWHERE. while listening to christmas music on the radio lol.
a little perturbed i missed out on wingnight, i really needed to watch lucky for the night though. BUT, other than that...it was definitely the best day ive had in a while. renee, i need to take your psych test again so i can write about yesterday lol. |

wow. what a weekend. my BIRTHDAY weekend. it started off pretty shitty (ha...that rhymes). i worked all day on saturday. saturday night i thought i had been left out of plans with everyone, and abby had also been ditched. so we went to the movies with my mom (which was nice, and elizabethtown was great). i also worked sunday. came home. celebrated with the family, even though i was tired and sorta sick. then i spent the rest of the evening and well into the hours of the next morning studying. so it didnt matter what else was going on, i couldnt go anywhere.
it continued to rapidly go downhill on monday to the point where i was sitting in my car by myself in the rain, in the westminster commuter parking lot...about to have a complete breakdown. having had class all day by myself, with two huge tests and a math test i completely forgot about because of the other tests. i had just found out i had to write and memorize a french skit for the next week, when i cant even speak french (which is another problem on its own). plus i had an extra band practice at 5.
at that point in the day, 2 people had said happy birthday. amber and molly. and leslie had given me a present earlier. for some reason...the concept of a surprise hadnt even occurred to me. i really thought everyone forgot or didnt care, and it was just adding to my shitty day. pfft...fine.
obviously not the case, however. i came home and my grandma and my neighbors were here and we ate wings. then...people randomly started showing up. as bad as my day had been, it got that much better...to the point where we were all sitting and watching wrestling on spike tv and arm wrestling.
so to make a really long and boring entry short...thanks to everyone who came and made my weekend awesome when i thought it was gonna suck. especially abby...who pulled it all together at the expense of her sanity lol. |

sooo...
my birthday is on monday. ill be 20...so im not a teenager anymore. other than that, 20 is pretty useless and unexciting. i have class all day monday, plus an extra band rehearsal at 5 for the upcoming concert. sooo i wont be home until after 7. that sucks.
oh yea, the wind ensemble concert is nov 4th...if anyone cares.
so i definitely cant move on to the next level of french. i have no idea whats going on. a girl in my class told me she had 2 yrs of french in high school, and she couldnt imagine what it would be like in our class if you hadnt taken french before. (because she is the worst teacher ever and doesnt teach, she just speaks it) she asks a question and looks at you like youre supposed to know the answer. and you dont, so you feel stupid even though you shouldnt because the majority of the class is also lost.
i hate it when i come up with awesome ideas when im not paying attention in class...and then i forget them as soon as class is over. i also hate it when i THINK ive just come up with an awesome idea...and then later i realize its probably the dumbest thing ever. example...
political science on friday after having a ridiculous day:
(in my head)...wow, today was pretty crazy. its definitely one for the books. maybe i should write a book, an autobiography or something. id have to get famous before people would read it though. hey, maybe i should write a play about my life. it would be relatively entertaining...its not like it hasnt been done before but still. add a few songs, maybe make a musical? nah. you dont like musicals that much. i think ill stick with the play. (go through several possible events and conversations between people, mildly entertained with thoughts). alright when i go home...im going to sit down and write something for this.
today, after remembering the thoughts i had on friday:
(out loud to self)...wow. youre fucking retarded. go shove your 'script' up your ass and do your homework. |

im sooo glad its fall break. i cant even explain in words how fantastic it is. so im not going to try.
renees wedding dress is very pretty. its too bad she only gets to wear it for one day. and its not like she can wear it for some other occasion. but its so nice, she should find time to wear it...like at the grocery store or something.
i cleaned my room today. no seriously, i did. all i have to do is sweep the floor and its done. maybe now i will stop sneezing.
there was some horribly horrible accident in front of eatnpark today. apparently it required 4 ambulances and 80 bajillion police cars.
ghoul mansion was...a disappointment. maybe i should have focused more on being scared then being amused. i have to take it seriously to be scared. but even if i did, it definitely WASNT worth 8 fucking dollars.
ps...ashley, im sorry about the clown with the chainsaw. :-\

why am i updating?
well because im supposed to be studying of course.
political science is probably the most boring thing ever. EVER. i read paragraphs multiple times, and instead of picking up the important information...i have an overwhelming urge to dump the chocolate goop in the bottom of my glass of half assed chocolate milk all over the book and smush it around.
too bad i have a really big test tomorrow. hah.
the cooler at work broke today. well, it didnt break. actually its working TOO good. it was making things too cold and everything froze. bacon, cheese, milk...you name it. so i got out of there early because i couldnt restock anything. yea...thats uh...thats a shame...
i think im going to either cut back or quit dunkin donuts when symphonic band starts. im already short on spare time, and band isnt going to help. ive been looking for a reason to quit, and there it is. now someone has to make me do it lol.
it was homecoming weekend. everyone came here to take pictures. there were soooo many people in my house, it was NUTS. including the queen of shs, ashley rice. dont break the crown, you know theyll make you pay for it. plus interest.
i just wasted 20 minutes updating. fuck it im going to bed. |

its really hard to pay attention in political science when there is a woolly bear caterpillar climbing up and down the pull on the blinds because he cant reach the window from the string. its amazingly hard to NOT look at the caterpillar.
ps...i rescued him after class was over and took him outside to a tree. :-)
i was not impressed by the golden buffet or whatever its called. of course i got there late and didnt have time to go through all food choices. but it was $10+...and i wasnt gonna pay that...so i stole a clean plate and ate a piece of pizza for free.

i just wrote a journal entry...but i deleted it. it was pointless. it lacked that certain something that entices people to read it.
this one isnt much better.
i have tiny burns all over my arms from cleaning the toaster at work. inspection tomorrow, had to clean EVERYTHING. including the innards of the toasters conveyor belt. i also burned a tiny hole in my shirt.
danny, you have inspired me to quit my crappy job at which they take advantage of my reliability. now i just have to work myself up to it. that may take months.
i cant speak french. i cant learn french very well either. especially when the teacher doesnt teach french. which makes it sooooo much harder.
bethany, your pirate party was awesome. and im sorry i was late and that i had to work until almost 4. and that i had to work the next morning. and that i almost fell asleep on your couch. and that i left my half eaten piece of ice cream cake on the table, im sure it was a puddle by the time you found it.
all in all...things are good. except that i want to go to sleep right now...and i cant. for reasons beyond my control. the end.

welome for comeing tops buffet!
today was my free day from everything. no work, no school. its my ONLY free day out of the week. i slept until 930, got up and ate, then went back to bed for a few hours. until amber stopped by with her new car around 1230. then i did homework the rest of the afternoon. saw transporter 2 with sam tyler and bethany. amazing movie, although i really should get on seeing the first one. then i ate chinese, even though i wasnt hungry. $8 for the buffet, which was mostly stale by the time we got there. and NO ICE CREAM! sorry, sorry, sorry...
school is alright. im just taking it one day at a time. so far ive done all my homework lol. french is a bitch. so is finding a parking spot.
work is still ok. the long weekend hours kinda suck, but i AM getting paid for it lol.
abby has a cold. i really hope i dont get it. if i get a cold now it will hit hard and ill be out of commission for 3 weeks.
updates will become few and far between now that my school/work/freetime schedule is on a roll. livejournal doesnt really go under free time. its more like...unbelievably bored with nothing better to do with myself time. i do have time like that occasionally...but these days it mostly goes to catching up on sleep. |

school is so close i can almost smell the horseshit. i have no books yet. i havent dropped my gym class that is scheduled for tuesdays and thursdays, which is especially interesting because i have to work tomorrow...and thats the first day of school. i really ought to take a look at my schedule at least once ahead of time, so i at least know what buildings i need to go to. sooo...im basically not ready at all. i guess im looking forward to it a little, well see how i feel about that when i get there.
chris is home for a whole week. that makes me real happy! not so happy about the toledo/seattle thing...but if hes happy i will certainly fake happiness...until he leaves. At which point i will probably not be able to contain myself and cry like a baby.
im in the mood for some chinese...too bad were eating ribs for dinner.
its an awesome time hangin out with people, until i realize i have to be at work by 6 the next morning...and that totally sucks ass.

i just watched the show on vh1 where ashley judd and india arie go to africa to raise awareness about AIDS. i think that everyone should make a point to watch it. i really cant describe it...you just have to watch it. parts of it are more than depressing, and heart wrenching barely describes it. kinda makes you wonder...
isnt it ironic that the cradle of civilization is the area of the world with the most people suffering, and that the end of all things might start there
why is everyone arguing about stupid political things like democrat vs republican, evolution vs creationism, prolife vs prochoice, iraq vs....not iraq? lol. apparently there are some way more important things going on elsewhere...we missed the memo.
and now im gonna stop...pretty sure no one wants to hear about this. especially in a livejournal.
so back to normal livejournal mode:
went to westminster today. accomplished nothing. AND i will be broke very shortly from doing nothing but buying my books. GREAT

bethany should have birthdays more often. judging by her livejournal, she finally had an awesome birthday. it did rain, which sorta took firebending out of the plans...but things turned out to be cool beans. i could put in some random quotes from last nights events, but there were so many i cant even begin to list them. its too bad renee had to work...maybe we should have taken the party to tic toc.
i worked from 6 to around 230 today. the busiest position during the busiest shift on the busiest day of the week. yay sandwiches. but its ok...hannah was there by 11 and got me through the second half of my shift.
someone just called here looking for me from dunkin donuts. whoever it was wanted me to work for them tomorrow. umm....no thanks.
almost time for school...that blows...sorta...and kinda not.

i suppoooose i should update at least once before school starts up again. its been a while...i just lost any interest in updating. even though ive been too busy for my own good, its nothing out of the ordinary. and definitely nothing anyone else wants to read about, since anyone who reads my livejournal was probably there at the same time and involved somehow....
what happens when a WHITE cat crosses your path? well, one did...and now i have no where to keep the poor thing.
went to band camp...erb is still an idiot, jim flowers still flirts with the students, its still as hot as the sun, the field still has no hash marks...
saw a dog die in the doorway of the vets office after being hit by a car.
working lots, and making money
hanging out with the usuals, and doing nothing in particular...but still having a good time.
many a bike night...bought a lighter that looks like a gun for $3. i dont smoke and im not an arsonist, i just thought it was amusing.
it seems we have successfully exterminated the anonymous posters....yea, thats what i thought bitches...

my aunt is in town...for a long time. :-) we are going to a family reunion tomorrow. my first reunion ever. im not sure how its gonna go, considering ive never met these people and there arent very many of them.

ive been training to make sandwiches at work. now i smell like bacon.
my aunt will be in town soon. thats exciting. plus the family reunion coming up on sunday. ive never been to one so it should be interesting.
i cleaned my room, finally.
