Twenty One Days Left

I went out and bought some things.  I feel like such a girl right now. I’m debating returning things though- since I don’t know if I can justify the purchases beyond “I want them.”  Plus, there are other things I also want that may just outrank these.  Fashion or toys?

I have a car appt. Wednesday, and Amanda is also having a Christmas Party 🙂 I have to find some cheap gift for that.  I’m working on an outfit too, but that’s still more spending. Haha.

I went out to dinner with my mom, brother, family friend, her daughter and Dave (not my Dave. Dan’s Dave.) Side note. When I met my Dave, I told Jenn that he reminds me of other Dave, and the voice has similarities (they both went to the same school too…weird.)  Anyway. Dinner was good. I like being in good company.

Went home, and fell asleep for 5 hours maybe. Oops. I didn’t think I would end up like that. But I’m up now (at 2:34am) and not doing much.  I was talking to Jenn and OKC was brought up again…

I had been meaning to check my inbox, not to see what messages are in there, but more to look back.  Specifically, I wanted to see what day exactly I started talking to D and all. For the record. I sent the first message June 10, 2009, and received a response June 11, 2009. Picked up again around the 26th, and then of course began IM.  I don’t recall when that happened exactly. I know we chatted 4th of July for sure, but I don’t know if there was IM contact before that (maybe? IDK anymore).  But it’s all history (even though I no longer have the logs 🙁 )  Oh well.  That’s being official (if that date even matters), but I still hold July 4th the date of dates. Har har har…

I’m gonna head out and get up in the morning to adventure with Jennifer or so.  Ta ta for the time being!

Twenty Four Days

I have gone though my first complete day of Winter Vacation.  How do I feel? Meh.  I kinda slept. Still trying to work on that, but the cable went down earlier so internet and TV was out for a little while.  My brother took the car so I was stuck inside too. Guess what I did today?!

I CROCHETED A SCARF. Then I started knitting something too (while watching Fast & Furious and Star Wars).  It’s been a slow day. While I couldn’t sleep though, I found a brilliant site about what I can do over break. I have decided to accomplish at least some goal for each day.  I have 24 official days left.

December 18: Granny knitted for her grand kids.

It’s been a pretty slow day text wise too. I frown a little about it, but it’s nothing huge. I did go out to Wal*Mart earlier to find some fancy yarn (I’m so lame) but I ran into a girl from high school.  We ended up chatting for a good hour or so about things. It was nice to talk to someone, and see a familiar face.

I’m trying to see what I have to do tomorrow. It’s a Saturday…I’ve been meaning to find some shoes (this is being a girl at it’s finest. Or worst. I can’t tell.)  I do want to pick up some travel items.  And maybe a memory card for my camera.

I am so excited to be done with school, but I feel like I don’t know how to deal with not being so busy all the time. Overall break is also dedicated to regaining a sleep cycle.  I’m going to go start a book and lay in bed. We’ll see how that goes. Goodnight, everyone 🙂

Just GaGa

I’m currently sitting on the train right now; it’s Tuesday the 1st of December.  I just got out of my physics exam at 2ish, so it’s pretty chill now.  The past week has been kind of interesting, but not too exciting.  I hope everyone had a good holiday.

On Thanksgiving, I went out to Peace Valley Park and took some pictures. I got up at about 4:30 on Black Friday to get to Best Buy with my brother. He wanted a game. I just happened to pick up 4 seasons of House (I’m awful with money).  Dinner with the family was pretty typical.

My phone’s been pretty dead lately- no calls or texts.  I don’t want to say I’m completely dependent on it, but at the same time, it does get a little lonely sometimes.  Going from one extreme to the next is just an adjustment.

Anyway. GaGa.  This Thursday, December 3rd, 2009- I shall be attending the Lady GaGa concert with a group of fantastic kids.  I’m pretty excited. I spent last night watching a bunch of interviews with her on YouTube- I think we could be friends 🙂 Everyone has some outfit, which was mandatory. Haha. I have a tuxedo dress, sequin jacket, mini top hat, fish nets, opera gloves, mini bow-tie. Cane optional 😛  I wonder if I can find a monocle XD That’d be a little much.  I’m still tweaking some things and finishing some things, but hopefully everything is grand.

I’ve been updating StarFall if you’re interested, and some things in my Photo gallery.  My dream log has been pretty slacking.  I haven’t been sleeping much in the past few days…weeks? Maybe a good long while I say.  This past week I averaged about 2hours a sleep per night, and I’d be up possibly 24+ when I am up too. Something’s not right.

This may drag for a while. I have a lot running on my mind, and I’m not sure what I’m doing anymore.

I’ve been thinking  a lot about where I’m going in life. I never chose this path for myself; I let my friend pick it for me since I don’t know what I want.  there are things that I enjoy doing, but i don’t have anything that drives me.  like, GaGa knew what she wanted to do when she was young- that was her calling.  Nothing calls to me, and if it does, then I don’t hear it.  I’ve always been looking for that one thing that i was meant to do.

My relationship with school is pretty selfish.  it’s becoming a love/hate thing.  the school itself is great.  The education that you get is quality, but my problem is that I don’t want this like some people do.  in the sense that if you choose a job you love, you’ll never have to work a day in your life.  if this is something you want to do, it’s not as much a hassle because you want to be here doing what you do.  I’m struggling because there are so many other things that i want to do, and i feel like it’s more a sacrifice of myself to put the time and effort into school.

i like the things i learn here, but I’m afraid that’s not enough to keep me here.  something about being here puts me on a different set of standards- into a different world that i want to be apart of, but i don’t know if i really belong.  Is there some other person out there more deserving of my seat? I learn things but I don’t retain so well.  Is it my method in learning, or is my memory just shot? It hurts me when I know I’ve learned something, but I cannot recall any of it.  So what if I pull the grade- that won’t mean jack shit once I’m out working and need to know this information.  Would it be better to get C’s in class but have full retention and understanding?

Summer of My Life

[edit] Wow. I’m a complete dumbass. Super apologies to Brad Fischetti. [/edit]

Wow. The weekend and YESTERDAY! Let me tell you.

I’ve been mushing with Dave. The day after the last post, I actually got to squeeze myself into this SUPER busy schedule. Story! (Not that this really isn’t a nice big story session anyway). Anyway. Dave’s moving across state on the 22nd of July. It’s for school, so it’s kinda important (why couldn’t Philly accept him u_u then he could be here, with me XD ).  I’ve known this pretty much since I met him, but that day draws awful near.  Because he’s leaving so soon, everyone else that’s known him first (not fair) already has plans with him before he has to leave.

So anyway, I saw him Tuesday the 14th. We went to Core Creek Park, and it was beautiful. He’s pretty too ^^ We walked around and chilled for a few hours, but then he had to go off and meet his sister (which I kinda distracted him from), but I didn’t want him to go. Seems like for good reason too. I’m not gonna get to see him before he leaves. Once he’s out there, that’s a 6-8 hour drive if I wanted to (but will definitely do sometime). But also, once he’s out there, he’s gonna be busy with other things u_u FML…Every time one of these things happens, I keep telling him how lucky he is that I like him (otherwise it just wouldn’t fly) but really…I’M the lucky one here <3

Yesterday, I finally decided to run up to Scranton to visit Lenny 🙂 I adore that boy because he’s so gay and wonderful. We went to Nay Aug Park (yay parks!) and walked around there a bit.  We took this au naturale path/stairs down to the big rocks by the water. I slipped and fell on my ass going down the steps. Hilarious when everyone saw. There was a giant river-creek thing going on, and there was people out past the railing, so we hopped the fence and decided to adventure.  Ran into a few couples cuddling or straddling-sucking face.  Besides that, it was gorgeous. Massive rocks and small little waterfall. We rock-hopped for a while and even found some coal to write our names on this one rock (it’s better than all the graffiti that was there).

We hopped for a while thinking we could find civilization at some point…Nope. We got to a point and I had to pee. So we figured we’d turn around because we knew there was a way back that way.

After that, we went to meet up with his friend Melissa.  As we’re driving, we go by the one bar, Tink’s. There’s a giant tour bus outside and he looks at me and says, “OMG, LFO is playing at TINK’S tonight!” I’m thinking, wait. LFO? The Lyte Funky Ones? And it was crazy. They were 1 way streets, so we kept going, and go by Rite-Aid.  BRAD FISCHETTI was walking in. Lenny‘s freaking out saying how he’s pretty sure LFO just walked into Rite-Aid. Of course we hit all the red lights, but eventually get around and park.  We’re rushing to get there, but this nice couple stops us to ask for a picture. But they asked if we were in a rush, and we explained the thing. The girl’s boyfriend was like, “LFO? Isn’t that the band from the 90s?” It was great. We took the picture and then started walking around. BRAD was walking around with 2 chicks (he had his stage pass on, so it’s kinda obv.)

Lenny and I walked around to Tink’s and kinda loitered for a while. Called some people, sent some txts, and took some pictures! Haha. We were totally creeping. But I have the boys in some creeping paparazzi shots. Lots of back shots, but it got too weird for me to try and be face to face while taking pictures of these guys. They have big bouncer body guards. We took a break and met up with Melissa and got our drinks.  Then we proceeded to walk back to Tink’s and hang outside the courthouse and watch. Lame bitches were behind us, so my photo creeping wasn’t as good (they were judging me, and I didn’t like that) but at one point BRAD was 2 feet from us, sitting on the same long bench row. He was wearing True Religion jeans. Pretty sexy.

We eventually left…eventually. I took Lenny back since he had dinner plans, and I went home to Jenn‘s. We hung out for some odd hours and I went home.  Pretty cool day, I must say. OH! And LFO is gonna be back up in the area tomorrow- might do some more creeping around, unless I feel like paying 10 bucks to see the show. Hah

Finally Beginning

On the 25th of June, 2009, our world cried. At first, we lost Farrah Fawcett, but later to find that we had lost our King of Pop, Michael Jackson.  The day began with me prepping for my final exam in Microbiology (eww, gross) and just getting out of there. This is the official beginning of my summer, since I only had a week off between the end of the semester and the start of classes again. SUMMER, HERE I COME!

I left and went home. My mother’s birthday was the day before, so my brother and I gave her a box from Kays 🙂

Birthday Ring
Birthday Ring

With this ring, I have also decided that I am selling my beloved phone.  It was a great time we had together, but financially it is not in my best interest.

We took my mom out for dinner after the gifting. I actually ran into Rob and his family while we were there 😛 That’s when we first heard about MJ.

So the day was great up until that news.

The next day was pretty exciting. Besides listening to Michael Jackson music all day with Jenn, we ran errands and went down to my house at school to pick up some things. From there, we went to Joji‘s ^^

I’ve been hearing about Joji since about 2006, so it was pretty exciting to meet him.  He’s a half-Jap amazing jerk. Haha. He spent the last year in Japan, and so I envy him to an extent.

We started off by playing Floating Candy, but just switched to Kings.  That was going pretty until towards the end of the 2nd round.  Jenn ran off to the bathroom, and as she did that, I started feeling kinda sick and left the room.  Jenn unfortunately locked the bathroom door and I ended up puking right there >_< I tried so hard to keep it down.  I eventually got in, with only a handful of what was left, and finished my business and cleaned up. I sobered up pretty much right there.  I just felt AWFUL for doing that to Joji‘s floor (and he even cleaned it up). That made me feel terrible and I helped him finish up the cleaning as Jenn was hanging over the toilet.

That aside, we asian bonded. I’m his bitch :O I like him. He’s my new BFF.

I ended up getting to bed at around 3 something in the morning, and then getting up at 6:30.  Eventually, we made our way to IHOP which was yummy, but Jenn still wasn’t feeling well so it wasn’t as fun as it might have been. Joji drew a fantastic picture on the back of the placemat (it is officially framed, btw) and then we hung around for a bit before leaving. It was a pretty great time, in my opinion. Good times with great people.

Being there though, all the little Japanese things Joji had brought back so many memories.  It’s sparked my love of Japan again. That night, Joji was speaking with his mother (who is where he gets his asian from) in <<Nihongo>> and that was seriously the best eargasm I’ve had in a long time.  I was laying on the floor of the bathroom at the time and literally rolled over towards the door to listen.  I wish I were fluent enough to hold a surprise Japanese conversation. Haha. Watashi wa neji desu ^________^ But yeah, I’ve been listening to all my T.M. Revolution, Iceman and rest of my J-Pop collection since and it just feels so right. Thank you, for bringing me back.

All I do now a days is hang out with Jenn. That’s what happened last summer too. We’re the only jobless ones and get along fantastically, so why not.  We went down to the city to visit the kids at orientation. Met up with Jake and got some free food.  Then met up with Janine and eventually trekked our way back home.  I have to go back down in the morning to see my advisor, and maybe go to the Crayola Factory with Jenn, Kelsey and Devin? We’ll see.

I’m working on a new album too. I like the way the NextGen gallery works with WordPress, but the function isn’t as friendly as my other one (I’m just more used to it) and there are some features that I can configure on that one that I can’t here. Check it out! Like everything else, it’s a work in progress.
