Random things I forgot to mention.
There is a toliet on our front lawn. More on that later. But wow. This is the randomness that is my life!
My parents are having an 8-track party tomorrow. I'm going to try to stop by inbetween Trish's party and seeing Chris. My parents, all their friends, a keg, 6-tracks, a lightup snow man, quote unquote "groovy" decorations, a lava lamp and a disco ball. The entertainment is guarunteed!
I love my family. They are so wacky in their own way. And I wouldn't have it any other way!

WoW. So sorry for my extreme lack of updation recently! I hate to dissapoint all my fellow blog whores. At first I just felt like I had nothing to say and then when I did I didn't have the time to stop and write. But no fear because here I am again! And i still probably don't have much to say, but when does that stop me anyways?
So last I updated was about Tuesday night. Wednesday night was, what else? Girls Nite! Which I am so going to miss! It began as a night to be with just the girls. And now I love it because I am guarunteed to see my awesome friends at least one night EACH week. And I can't tell ya houw much that rocks. In these crazy hectic weeks leading up to college it's nice to have something constant like girls nights :)! Both Dirty Dancing Movies were hits. and yes. I am in love with that cuban dancer. *sigh* Me Tiners and Johanna bonded over Havana Nights. Even better than the movies themselves was what followed. Dancing inspired by the movie, Pearl Harbor moments, pillow fights, and more so yay. I love girls nights. Always have and always will! Not to mention the awesome rides there and back (which it seems many of us look forward to!) To echo Johanna singing along to the radio is awesome, especially when it's you, your best friends and Accidentally in Love and Time of Your Life!
Thursday was also good. I missed ANOTHER call from Chris which was somewhat annoying but oh well ... I get to see him tomorrow!!! (knock on wood) And he said that me and Johanna have permission to kidnap him the 19th (as long as we kidnap his roomate too, which could be fun!) We can scare all of Chris's soon to be Wheaton friends, it will be great! I'm glad I have at least 2 or 3 more times I'm gonna get to see him. What was I thinking, that he would be in town and be able to stay away from us? HA! I also got a postcard from him today which was awesome. It made me laugh and shake my head. Just like I do around Chris. SO that was perfect. Speaking of mail I got an invite to Dave and Tim's grad party for the 14th and that rocks because I haven't seen Dave since maybe graduation! and I have only seen Tim a couple o' times. And it will be a great opportunity to see people before I leave. Perfect Timing. So I'm lookin forward to that now. Anyway where was I ... Oh yeah Thursday ... Johanna came over and we wandered about Oak Park for a while and then basically ended up at Jonathan's house watching Boondock Saints with Marty. GOOD MOVIE!! How had I not seen it before yesterday? And then ... wow ... just wow. ... there were bone clones ... and talk about the south of Russia, which apparently is old ... and wet ... and yeah. Interesting comments were made. Those moments made the entire day worth it!!!!
I was dreading dreading dreading dreading dreading Friday because 1) I had to go to work which I had neglected to do ALL week and 2) I had to take my sister to Hilary Duff and I was sure I was going to get lost and never get home again. I spend the morning reading "The Perks of Being a Wallflower, which I am almost done with and should finish right after posting this. It's really good, a book I've been meaning to read for a while. Then I got in my car and drove to work. Did I mention that I was dreading that? But I got there and it was all okay. Just like it always is. Only two more weeks there!!!! woot!!!!!! Anyway work was fine and I got out just in time to run home brush my hair get directions and leave for the Hilary Duff concert with Sheila and 3 of her friends. Oh and I was cheered up before I left by a "clone your bone" reminder from Muffy which is one of the many reasons I love her :) And also a voicemail from her earlier while I was at work. You are Perfect Muffy :)! Anyways I got us to the concert ALMOST without getting lost. I did okay on the express way it was just finding the street was a tad tricky but I did it. I just followed the car saying "Honk if you love Hilary!" Anyway the concert wasn't bad (who am I kidding/ It ROCKED!) You may make fun of me for liking Hilary Duff. But if liking her is wrong then I don't WANNA be right! Seriously though, I love her songs. They say such perfect things. I must buy her cd before I leave for college. I could have done without the djs before the concert telling the 10 and 12 year old girls to cheer LOUDER and Hilary would come out SOONER! He was lying! cheering louder would NOT make her come out any sooner! My poor ear drums! But that was the only down side to the evening. I wish Johanna could have been there but what can you do? Anyway the BIGGEST NEWS of the night was that I got us home without getting lost at all!!! Through TWO expressways, a toll way and NO asking for directions! I felt ultra cool and feel very much more grown up than I did this morning. And I promise myself that I WILL go to work Monday no matter what. I won't convince myself out of it this time.
Well that brings me to right now. I'm in a really good mood because I jumped all my responsibility hurdles today, and now I have a weekend ahead of me that includes a grad party that is sure to rock, seeing Chris (yay!), church on Sunday with a farewell for Mr Rehor, and a movie night that I can't WAIT for!!!!
And whoa whoa whoa, what is this? Meera just talked to me online and she's getting back the 17th now! So I'll probably get to see her before I leave! The good news just keeps coming! And that is all for this update ...I've gotta go finish that book! See most of you this weekend!
Oh and random tangent. I agree with the whole sentiment of keeping a personal journal in adition to the blog. It helps!!! You have no idea the stupid things I would have said on this thing if I didn't have somewhere else to write out my thoughts too! As it is I've still said some stupid things. But yeah. journals are cool! End of tangent.
Shootin’ dr. Pepper cans with your brand new red ryder
That old folding lawn chair makes the perfect x-wing fighter
Those no-name baseball cards spinning in your spokes
Now that’s cool
Turnin’ 17 and daddy loosens up the curfew
Drivin’ home at midnight that old buick smells like perfume
Making your own money, having coffee with your folks
Now that’s cool
Knowin’ where you’re goin’ embracin’ where you’ve been
Being criticized for standin’ strong in a battle you can’t win
Livin’ in a moment you may never see again
Let your heart break some rules
Now that’s cool
Wakin’ up with your new bride a room beside the ocean
10 years later goin’ back to relive that emotion
She tells you what she’s thinking but never says a word
Now that’s cool
Knowin’ where you’re goin’ embracin’ where you’ve been
Being criticized for standin’ strong in a battle you can’t win
Livin’ in a moment you may never see again
Let your heart break some rules
Now that’s cool
The pitcher is your six year old, you’re his full time catcher
He gets a new bb gun and "you’ll put your eye out" lecture
Your 3 year old is singin’ the song that she just learned
Now that’s cool
Knowin’ where you’re goin’ embracin’ where you’ve been
Being criticized for standin’ strong in a battle you can’t win
Livin’ in a moment you may never see again

Wait a minute ......
You didn't think I would leave you without some Hilary lyrics did you??? hehehehe ...

So had a chill night last night with another date with Panera and stopping by to bother Marty. He kept on asking us why we were there ... but surprisingly enough I think we kinda LIKE hanging out with him! *gasp* lol That, and I couldn't stop playing Donkey Kong. Oh! and Chris called us all yesterday. My phone didn't ring for some odd reason so I just got a voicemail. Looks like I'll be able to see him this weekend after all so w00t! :) I still feel very blah about this summer for some reason. I need something exciting and out of the ordinary to shake it all up I think ... It's all coming to an end so fast!
Oh by the way I felt super cool being quoted in Georgia's blog hehehe I am a huge dork ;)!
See you all at movie night tonight! Ciao til then!

Saw Delovely today with Caryn, Maggie, Georgia, and Christina. Very fun and as always random evening. Complete with a finale of being screamed at through a passing mega phone. Always exciting. hmm ... Anyways for the record I liked Delovely. The whole way through I couldn't help but ponder why MY life wasn't a musical? How awesome would that be? I mean sure it's one thing to randomly start singing in public (I for one do that all the time) But to have everyone on the streets join in with you? That would rock!!! Alas, the world is not so. *tear* BUT the concept for the movie was a very cool one in my opinion. When I die there had better be a musical of my life waiting for me to view! Man how great would that be .... *lost in my own world of melodies and memories .............................*
Huh? Oh right ... Back to reality. Ug. I do not want to go to this Hilary Duff concert anymore. It was fun when it was going to be me and Johanna and my sister and her friends. It still could have been fun without Johanna I guess ... If I had gotten an almost as cool friend to come with. But instead the ticket is goign to ANOTHER of Sheila's friends! And I am not gonna have any fun seeing the concert now. 1) There is no point to singing along and acting like a dork by mySELF 2) I've spent enough time with Sheila THIS weekend! and 3) Sheila is a downright BRAT when she is with her friends all they do is mock and make fun of me ... hmm sounds like my friends you might say. Well it's completely different when it is coming from 11 and 12 year olds! I am NOT looking forward to it at all anymore. And plus Friday would be a prime day to do something fun and exciting like I've been wanting to. And Maggie keeps TRYING to plan something for Friday ;( And BLAH!
TGIFridays .... August 8th? I think that is when we are shooting for. That is a week from Sunday. Is that date kosher with everyone? Let us know ASAP if it's not and we'll find something else. But we gotta schedule this thing or it might never happen!
Once again feel like I should have something impressive noteworthy thought provoking to say .... and I don't .... so till later!
I'm not alone
I wish I was
Cause then I'd know I was down because
I couldn't find a friend around
To love me like they do right now
They do right now
I'm dizzy from the shopping mall
I searched for joy but I bought it all
It doesn't help the hunger pains
And a thirst I'd have to drown first to
ever satiate
Something's missing
And I don't know how to fix it
Something's missing
And I don't know what it is
No I don't know what it is
When autumn comes
It doesn't ask
It just walks in where it left you last
You never know when it starts
Until there's fog inside the glass around
your summer heart
Something's missing
And I don't know how to fix it
Something's missing
And I don't know what it is
No I don't know what it is
I can't be sure that this state of mine
Is not of my own design
I wish there was an over-the-counter test
For loneliness
For loneliness like this
Something's missing
And I don't know how to fix it
Something's missing
And I don't know what it is
No I don't know what it is
Something's different
And I don't know what it is
No I don't know what it is

EEEK! Help! I feel like my summer is dying! I desperately need like a week of complete fun and randomness!!! It's weird. It's not like I haven't been doing things. Revently I had a grad party, saw a play, hung out with various people ... but I still feel like my summer is dying. I don't quite know why. I guess cuz it's cuz I've been spending so much time at hom? I dunno, that doesn't really make sense. I just need to get outta this house! The room switch is soooo boring and lonesome I guess. I need to get out and stay out till August 21st. I don't even know why I'm feeling this way. I just want to do wild and crazy things this summer. I feel like I'm at a standstill and I need to do something exciting. I guess I'm really just itching to be at Bradley. I want new experiences and I can't wait for them to get here. Summer is dragging and getting boring. I never thought that I would say that about this summer. But I am. I can't wait for Bradley! Then again I wish I could bring most of you with me. Stupid conflicting feelings grrr ... BUT I'm going out to see DeLovely tonight so hurrah! Ciao till later!
Hey all! think my dependence on blogging has been lessening. This is probably a good thing. I somehow feel like I have been being a hermit this weekend cuz I haven't seen a lot of you. But I guess I've just been doing sister bonding or something. Yesterday after a mega shopping spree at Target with my mom for college I took my sister, Josephine and Jen to see Guys and Dolls at EPHS. It was a community thing and our very own Joseph Edmonds was in it. It was an awsome show, I love guys and Dolls :) I had a lot of fun catching up with Jen and Phine so yay. A Target spree and a musical in one day, how could that not rock?
Today was Diana and Melissa's grad party and it also rocked. What else could have been expected? It's been a while since a group gathering like that with different crowds. It was a good ol' fasioned bonfire. Or stump fire more like it lol. A very good night.
I have so much to do and so little time it seems! So many plans to make and so little time to cram it all in! But it CAN be done! And it will. So yeah ... Good times are a'comin!
Actually ... come to think of it .... my lack of posting recently can probably be accounted for by my newfound obsession for MineSweeper. That game is CRAZY addicting!!! And it's all your fault Johana!!!
And I feel that I should have something more profound or deep or at least thoughtful to say. Alas, I really don't. But I think I like it that way. I've been thinking waaaaay too much recently about leaving for college and trasitioning and just everything. I just want to STOP thinking about it at all until August ... 15th ish. Till then i just wanna party the summer away! So no more thinking Mary!
I got a dvd in the mail the other day. My parents bought it at orientation. It's pretty much like a video yearbook of my orientation. Sounds tacky (and well it is) But now I can show you all the cool people I met and (more importantly my HOT student Aide Josh !!! *ahhh*) Yep, Exciting stuff
And I'm done. Peace!

Hey all long time no update. Okay, so it hasn't really been that long but it feels like it. There have been highs and lows since the last post. Overall highs but still. Thursday night we finally went cosmic mini golfing. Me, Chris, and Johanna went on on Thursday since it was Chris's last night in town for ... well ... a really long time. And one of the very last times we could all hang out before college. Possibly the last time. So anyways we went to Gino's East for Pizza. Yum! For which me and Johanna treated. So there Chris! For all those times you've paid for us! And we got leftovers! Whoops scratch that, cuz we left the box on the table. hehehe ... Then we went mini golfing. A little different circumstances since the last time. Though not really. We traced Chris's veins with High lighter! So amusing! And (as always) I won!!! :) I ALWAYS win mini golf ... well okay ... maybe it was even ;) mwahahaha! Although (downside to the evening) at some point Chris decided to be a stick in the mud which was so not cool. I wanted to us to have happy fun the last night out. But then again when ISN'T Chris in a mood like that, so he pointed out. So the night ended on a not so positive note. And I was in a really bad mood when I got home that night actually. So it's a good thing I didn't blog then. Because the next day (being this morning) Chris ended up picking me up and we grabbed Wendys and hung out at his house for a little while before he had to leave for London. And he was in a much better mood. So I got one good random Chris filled hangout in before he left. Complete with the best story ever ending with the quote, "I jogged past a cripple heading to my car which was illegally parked in a handicapped space." Oh Chris! The irony! It's weird now that Chris is gone. It really is official now. No more Chris. Boo! Last night I was very sad about the whole situation. But tonight I am more upbeat about it because he made up for his blah mood by taking me out today. And he grabbed my boob. yeah that's right! It was an accident but hilarious nonetheless especially since he didn't stop apalogizing for like 10 minutes. Tonight my night consisted of starting to clean out Johnny's room for the big switch and then taking my sister out for lunch and ice cream. And even later me and Johanna taking Sheila and her friend MariKate to see A Cinderella Story. Yes that was the second time me and Johanna saw it. And no we are no ashamed! It's GOOD! In that sappy teenybopper ish kind of way. Well I liked it anyways. Then we did some more cleaning and minesweeper playing and hanging out and now I am blogging. And I am excited because tomorrow I finally get to go shopping with my mom for college stuff!
I have decided that I will not let a day of summer pass by without doing something. I have so much left to do this summer and I'm gonna cram it all it and make it the best August ever. I still have to make it to 6 flags again, get to the beach at some point, go to Bakers square, have a roller blading adventure, and tons more. Not to mention all the random get togethers we can squeeze in!
My sister is the biggest drama queen that I have ever met. Ever
Yet somehow I still love her.
Also, I have recently snapped out of something. I realized that I HAVE been living too much in the future. I'm stressing out so much about saying goodbye to everyone. I've been thinking TOO often about it all. I'm really excited for the fall, and for all the new friends that I'm going to make at Bradley. And that I've already started to make from orientation. I'll still have all my friendships from Fenwick, I just have more friends waiting for me at Bradley. Yeah, people are going to change while at college, that's inevitable. I'm already starting to change and I haven't even left yet. But that just means it will be all the more fun finding out about the new people we come back to at breaks. Friends will stay friends even if individuals change. They're bonded by something deeper than just the school they went to or the places they hang out. They are bonded by the experiences they shared and the love that they have for each other. New experiences can't replace the old ones. They will only add to the collection of memories that we each have. If college is better than high school well holy cow it's gonna be FANTABULOUS cuz high school was amazing. So I'm through being nostalgic for something that's not even in the past yet! This next month is going to be amazing and rock the socks of any other month. And it will just make lasting memories that I'll be able to have next year at Bradley. New friends and new experiences are gonna come and I'm gonna embrace them! Watch out Bradley here I come!
Don't ask me where that came from. Maybe dealing with one of my best friends leaving so soon brought it on. Cuz don't get me wrong, it really sucks to be losing these friends one by one. But it only SEEMS like I'm losing them. Really it's just the next step of our friendship beginning.
Must be getting early, clocks are running late.
Paint my love a morning sky, it’s all cold.
Dawn is breaking everywhere, light a candle, curse the glare
Draw the curtains I don’t care, but it’s all right
I will get by, I will get by, I will get by, I will survive.
I see you’ve got your list out, say your piece and kiss off.
Guess I get the gist of it, but it’s all right
Oh well anyway, sorry that you feel that way.
Every silver linings got a touch of grey
I will get by, I will get by, I will get by, I will survive.
It’s a lesson to me, the ablers and the beggars and the thieves
The abc’s we all think of, try to win a little love.
I know the rent is in arrears, the dog has not been fed in years
It’s even worse than it appears, but it’s all right
Cow is giving kerosene, kid can’t read at seventeen
The words he knows are all obscene, but it’s all right
I will get by, I will get by, I will get by, I will survive.
Shoe is on the hand that fits, that’s all there really is to it
Whistle through your teeth and spit, but it’s all right
Oh well a touch of grey, kinda suits you anyway,
That’s all I had to say, but it’s all rightI will get by,
I will get by, I will get by, I will survive.
It’s a lesson to me, the devils and the east and the free
The abc’s we all must face, try to save a little grace.

Miracles happen, miracles happen
You showed me faith is not blind
I don't need wings to help me fly
Miracles happen, miracles happen
I can't imagine living my life without you now
Not ever having you around
We found our way out(on you I can depend)
Don't have to look back to realize how far we've come
There are million reasonsI'm lookin up
I don't want this to end
NothinNothin should ever bring you down
Knowing what goes around will come around
You showed me faith is not blind
I don't need wings to help me fly
Miracles happen, once in a while
When you believe(miracles happen)
You showed me dreams come to light
That takin a chace on us was right
All things will come with a little time
When You believe
There is no question we found the missing pieces
Our picture is complete
It's fallen into place(it's fallen into place)
This is out moment, you and I are looking up
Someone is watching over us
Keeping me close
Closer to you everyday
Nowhere Nowhere on earth i'd rather be
No one can take this away from you and me
You showed me faith is not blind
I don't need wings to help me fly
Miracles happen, once in a while
When you believe(miracles happen)
You showed me dreams come to light
That takin a chace on us was right
All things will come with a little time
When You believe
When you believe
The soul is a shining light
When you believe
The heart has the will to fight
You can do anything, don't be afraid
We're gonna find our way

YaY I am sooooo excited! I emailed some of the girls that I met at orientation and they emailed me back today. I am such a dork. But it's gonna feel SOO good to actually know a few people on campus when I get there. And they are so nice and oh man I'm so happy they emailed me back! I'm so torn cuz I am so excited for this upcoming year at Bradley but at the same time I am so torn leaving all of you guys at home! Good thing I've seen Sweet Home Alabamba so that I know that it's "possible to have roots and wings".
Girls night was awesome tonight (when isn't it?) I feel much more back in the swing of summer now. Hopefully we'll be seeing each other a lot more often in the next month. I'm looking forward for fun summer times to come. It's not over till the fat lady sings!!! and that won't happen till August 21st for me. So Keep the good times rollin'!!!!
We both know that I shouldn't be here
This is wrong
And baby it's killing me, killing you
Both of us tryin' to be strong
I've got somewhere else to be
Promises to keep someone else who loves me
And trusts me fast asleep
I've made up my mind
There's no turning back
She's been good to me
And she deserves better than that
It's the hardest thing
I'll ever have to do
To look you in the eye
And tell you I don't love you
It's the hardest thing
I'll ever have to lie
To show no emotion
When you start to cry
I can't let u see
What you mean to me when my hands are tied
And my hearts not free
We're not meant to be
It's the hardest thing
I'll ever have to do
To turn around and walk away
Pretending I don't love you
I know that we'll meet again
Fate has a place and time
So you can get on with your life
I've got to be cruel to be kind like Dr. Zhivago
All my love I'll be sending
And you'll never know
'Cause there can be no happy ending
Maybe another time, another day
As much as I want to I can't stay
I've made up my mind
There's no turning back
She's been good to be
And she deserves better than that
Maybe another time, another day
As much as I want to I can't stay
I've made up my mind
There's no turning back
She's been good to be

So I wrote an entire post about college and the coolness/cruellness of it. And then i accidentally deleted everything I had written. Grr I hate when that happens. But really it was just a repeat of what has been said on other people's blogs. So I won't try to recreate it all.
Another random observation about Bradley that I noticed. Everyone and their mom is a Cubs fan. Either that or Cardinals. There is a serious shortage of any Sox fans. Good thing I don't care a whole lot about baseball or else this could be very serious. I will have a bit of baseball culture shock down there I must say!
As for yesterday: I had a cool day. I got some Chris time in. I really need to not let people go on my computer ... lol. Then I went bowling with Caryn and Melissa. I hadn't seen Mel in FORever! Then we went back to my house and watched Never Been Kissed *sigh* ... So it was a good night!
"yeah but kissing all the losers can be a fun diversion" hehehe ...
yes Annie, College is cruel. What you said totally hit home with me. Everyone always talks about the amazing friendships that they have from their college years. But I can't IMAGINE having better friends than I do right now. I don't NEED new friends, I like the ones that I have here and now. Even if they do rip on me all the time lol ;) But really, I've had my share of being used and having false friendships and all of that. But I have found so many really amazing people who have always been around to catch me when I have fallen. I've found people who have always always been there for me, and they mean the world to me. I can't imagine them NOT being around next year. I know the friendships that truly matter will last. But it's still gonna hurt to say goodbyes in a month. There are already people who I find that I haven't really hung out with since graduation. It's a gradual process, this leaving thing. And It's reallly not going to hit me of what I'm losing until it's long past. Sorry to be all sad and blah. It's just I feel so comfortable here and now. I mean, I practically define myself by my friends. I run to them with everything that happens in my life. And next year ... I won't have anyone to run to. I'll be all alone. Just me. I won't be surrounded by all of my friends. That is very scary for me. I know that I will make new friends but in the beginning I will just be so alone and I am SO scared about that. It's like everything I've learned these past four years comes into play now. I'll be on my own. Living my life. Without my friends. Independence here I come ... I hope I'm ready for it.
On the other hand, It will be really nice to have a time to start over. I'm going to try to welcome this new beginning and make the most of it. There are a few things that I've done in the past year that I am less than proud of. And it's up to me if I let my new friends know about any of it. It's up to me to reveal who I am. I have a completely clean slate. If only I knew what I wanted to write on it ...
I'm looking forward to girls night tonight. I feel like I haven't seen any of you in like weeks!!! (well actually I don't think that I have! lol) So see you tonight ;)
This may never start
We could fall apart
And I'd be your memory
Lost your sense of fear
Feelings insincere
Can I be your memory
So get back, back, back to where we lasted
Just like I imagine
I could never feel this way
So get back, back, back to the disaster
My heart's beating faster
Holding on to feel the same
This may never start
I'll tear us apart
Can I be your enemy
Losing half a year
Waiting for you here
I'd be your anything
So get back, back, back to where we lasted
Just like I imagine
I could never feel this way
So get back, back, back to the disaster
My heart's beating faster
Holding on to feel the same
This may never start
Tearing out my heart
I'd be your memory
Lost your sense of fear
Feelings disappear

Man, I have a lot going on in my head today and lots that I need to get out on the blog. However, I have to leave for babysitting in 7 minutes so let me just catch you up on what I've been doing and the rest will have to wait till later.
Yesterday Chris picked me up in the porsche and we went for a drive. the most random drive of my life I can safetly say! "The grass on their lawn is the grass on their soul" One of his many gems of the afternoon. And we bought lemonade from a little boy's lemonade stand so we did a good deed yay! Then we went back to his house and watched Lethal Weapon which I had never seen before. Good movie. Johanna came over and we ate pizza then went to my house so I could give her a present :) then to blockbuster then back to Chris;s where we watched The Goonies. Also a movie I hadn't seen. 80s cinema at its best!!! Entertaining movie. So a really chill fun day hanging out with Chris and Johanna. Only so many of those left. I've got lots more to say but it'll have to wait till later. bye for now

Today was an awesome summer day. It felt like one of those days that actually lasts for a week. Thinking back to this morning seems like looking back to a few days ago. Today I woke up and read at the 9:30 mass which made me feel good cuz I had been slacking off in the Sabbath department recently. But today begins a fresh start. Then I came home and putzed around the house and eventually I went out with Susie :) Already an awesome day just for that fact. We went black dress shopping and found success! I am her good luck charm! w00t! Then she treated me to lunch at Mothers Day. Awesome after noon just being able to hang out with my favorite cousin ever and get even more Bradley scoop. Me and Caryn wanted to get something together for tonight but apparently there was a big party at the container store so we were outta luck. But we made the most of our night. We went to Target and ogled the pretty college dorm things and SCHOOL SUPPLIES!!! I'm so phyched to go back with my mom! I also treated myself to a dvd and a cd. Never Been Kissed and A Cinderella Story. I am very happy with my purchases. Then we called Diana. We ended up picking her up and then meeting Ryan and Jack in the parking lot of Menards. Yes. The parking lot of Menards. They were rocking the '69 Mustang. So we hopped in and went for a cruise along lake shore drive. What an experience. Then we played tennis at Taylor park around 10 then headed back to Ryan's house to watch a movie but ended up playing pictionary instead. I had a really fun night! I laughed my ass off which always is a plus. "It was all over my face" ... and oh the fun had with pictionary! I hope we hangout with those two again it was a lot of fun. And now I'm gonna go watch my new dvd or perhaps listen to my new cd. later days folks!

I had the creepiest dream last night. It was one of those really involved and deep ones with a lot of plots going on. But all I remember is that I was pregnant. And I was really confused because it was physically impossible, it just didn't make sense. I wasn't even showing it or anything. And the most random people showed up to bring me to the hospital. I was freaking out, I was like, I can't have a baby! What about college? What about living at the dorm? This isn't supposed to happen. I didn't even think this was possible!!! I'm doing a really bad job at explaining the dream but I woke up really upset and confused ... but no worries, I'm fairly positive I'm NOT pregnant today.
Another random point about Bradley I forgot to mention ... They have DDR in their student center right outside one of the cafeterias, the people I was with didn't seem to realize the importance of that observation but i mean, it's DDR! I personally thought that was awesome.
Last night was fun. Johanna came over and we went and saw A Cinderella story which I liked. It was your average teenybopper sappy chick flick but I really liked it. *sigh* I want romance ... and of course in the end everything works out magically and one of the characters says "Ah, ya gotta love high school" ... poor kids seeing it are gonna think that is what high school is, poor guys. Lol but that's what COLLEGE is gonna be right? Exactly lol. I can dream. Anyways after the movie we made a Panera run and then attempted to get Chris to come with us to kidnap Mark. But Chris was beign weird, so after calling Mark and having no one home we showed up at Chris's ... and he had just left! So we talked to his mom for a few minutes and then chris showed up and lo and behold who was with him? Mark of course, and one of his friends Matt. Sneaky Chris stealing our hostage! But anyway the 5 of us hung out for a little while and i think we scared Marks friend. Then after a little bit of turbulence Chris Johanna and I hung out at my house for awhile. then I kicked them out cuz I was tired. End of my day, but it was a good one. Chris leaves Friday. *tear*

So we talked to his mom for a few minutes and then chris showed up and lo and behold who was with him? Mark of course, and one of his friends Matt. Sneaky Chris stealing our hostage! But anyway the 5 of us hung out for a little while and i think we scared Marks friend. Then after a little bit of turbulence Chris Johanna and I hung out at my house for awhile. then I kicked them out cuz I was tired. End of my day, but it was a good one. Chris leaves Friday. *tear*

Well, actually I am feeling pretty exhausted right now, but I have a lot running through my mind so I guess I may as well blog it all out. I got back from orientation at Bradley today!I definitely had a really good time. It started off kind of shaky. but by the end I had had a blast, gotten a pretty good schedule together, and met some really cool / nice kids. I am extremely excited for the fall to come! Before orientation I was mostly preoccupied with all the goodbyes that are going to have to be said, but this orientation got my phyched for going to Bradley. I really feel like I fit in there. The student Aides who organize orientation were a riot, they were like Kairos leaders except they get to do it 13 times which makes them about 12 times closer than leaders. Plus they got paid for it (which is always a plus) You could tell they had a blast being there, and they made it really fun for us all. Not too mention that MY student aid was THE most gorgeous boy that I have ever met in my entire life. No contest. This boy was the definition of gorgeous. *sigh* If all the guys at Bradley look like him I will be just peachy :)!!!! Plus he was only 19 and gonna be a sophomore. It is possible that I have fallen in love. *sigh* ....................................
What? Oh right, I think I was saying something before that Josh tangent. Right, orientation ... I found a couple of girls that I really got along with. Me and these girls Jenni, Ariel, and Elizabeth hit it off really well. We would sit and talk and CRACK UP about the stupidest thing, kinda like all of us do! They reminded me of my friends back home. I love finding those people. The people who remind me of you guys. The chill, kinda middle of the road, not stuck up but still really cool and super nice ... yeah you get the idea. At first I was a little nervous, everyone there was super nice, but I didn't really find people I got along with that well. But then I found those three plus a couple of others as well and I know that next year is gonna be awesome.
My schedule worked out pretty well. I'm taking 16 credit hours and I'm pretty sure I got at least 9 credit hours from AP, so I'm on my way to those 124 to graduate lol. This semester I'm taking Com 101 and com 103 which are two communication classes. 101 is media something or other for all com majors and com 103 is a speech class that all freshman have to take. Then I'm taking Intro to American Government (gov and Soc all over again pretty much), Intro to theater, which I am pretty excited for, I love seeing plays and so a class that pretty much does that and discusses should be interesting. I'm also taking a one day a week one credit course for freshman that is basically just an intro to the university. Oh and finally I am taking Spanish ... which leads me into my test taking stories ... (I know you are all so enthralled about all of this)
The first day we got there everyone had to take a mathematics placement exam. I heard this and my reaction was EEEEEH I DON'T WAAAAAANT TO!!! :( ... I was hoping to get out of it because of the 3 I got on the stats AP test. But I went up and told them about it and their response more or less was "stats isn't real math so you get class credit but still have to take a gen ed math) This was dissapointing, but it was a long shot anyways. So I had to take that stupid math exam. And since I hadn't had any math besides stats in more than a year, I was clueless ... x squared raised to the log of factor that? What??? I struggled through and then had to go right into a Spanish placement test. I figured that I took 4 years, I need foriegn language to get a BA so why not see where I place, expecting a 200 class if anything. We got our test results the next day before setting our schedule. I turned my little card over and lo and behold what did it say? "Gen Ed Math completed" Which means ... I NEVER HAVE TO TAKE A MATH CLASS EVER AGAIN MY WHOLE ENTIRE LIFE FOR EVER AND EVER AND EVER. :)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Life is really super cool at times! And as for Spanish I ended up testing into 303 (composition) or 304 (conversation) I took the comp class and I'm a little worried, but I think I should do okay.
The timing for my schedule worked out pretty good too, I hav a class every morning at 9 AM. Which could be a bad thing, but I look at it as a good thing. It forces me to get up and not waste my day. I have a break everyday between 11 -1 and some days between 11-3. Over all I'm very happy with everything. I've promised myself not to come home until fall break which is sometimes in October. But I figure If I'm ever feeling especially homesick (which I'm sure I will) I can always convince Susie to escape to U of I for a weekend and see Katie and all my friends at U of I who can remind me of home Also I want lots of you to visit me at Bradley! I will show you an awesome time I promise! We find out Res Hall info like our dorm and roomate the first week of August I can't wait, I just wanna know what hall and organize stuff with my roomate. And be able to give people my address!
Speaking of addresses, my new email is mdonoghue@bradley.edu (easy to remember yay!) I'll still use my go account sometimes but this will be more reliable communication.
You know what was random? Not being yelled at for chewing gum during discussions. I might get used to this college thing ...
I realize that this blog was probably super boring for most of you but I am just so pumped after all that info I needed to share it. I mean, they filled me up with so much I just needed to let go of a little of it! Oh and get this, Bradley has a skydiving club, how cool would that be? Hmmm ...
I realized how the whole missing friends thing is gonna go at college. The final hangout of the summers will be a little emotional but not too bad. I'll go off to Bradley move-in weekend, the 21st, I'll get into the swing of welcome weekend and all the jazz, but I'll still feel Like i am coming home after the weekend or after a week or two. Classes will start and I'll adjust to the new schedule, meet new friends and explore campus. Then one day ... It's going to hit me. I'm NOT going home. I haven't hung out with my fenwick friends in 3 weeks, and I probaly won't see them until Christmas. Then I will ... I don't know what I will do. It will be a crazy moment I'm sure. Also, I have decided that I am 100% keeping my blog active next year. I don't think that I'm gonna share it with my Bradley friends right away. I'll just keep it relevant for us fenwickians. What reminds me of home, what I'm wondering about everyone's lives, posting what I miss about home. Even just touching base so I still feel conected to you guys. OH and I am SUCH a huge fan of Georgia's adress book idea thing it's not even funny. You read my mind. Orientation was a jump start for next year for sure. But we've still got 5 weeks of summer left and a hell of a lot left to accomplish. So let the randomness continue.
I'm in the process of moving from the room upstairs to my brother's room downstairs. I think the official move is gonna be next weekend. I'm getting everything dividied into "bringing to college" and "moving downstairs" piles. I am really actually excited for the whole process but sometimes I have to stop myself and I realize what it is I am doing and it freaks me out!
And I think I'm taked out thanks for listening as always guys! Hope to see you all soon :)

Hey, well I don't have all that much to say, but since I am leaving for orientation at Bradley tomorrow morning and won't be back till late-ish Friday I figure I have to leave my mark on the blogging community. Heaven forbid I go too long without a post! Today I was very responsible, going to not only babysitting but also to Aarco. I came home and packed for tomorrow and then headed to Chris's. Me, Chris, Marty, Johanna and Joe Willoughby watched Kelley's Heroes. Which was ...eh ... well I liked it better than Johanna did, but that isn't saying much. The last 1/2 hour or so was pretty okay. But that was after 2 hours of BOOORING! Oh well ... It was an entertaining evening nonetheless. And now my quote unquote reputation has been passed onto Joe who makes fun of me just like the other two now *sigh* lol but anyway it was a good lowkey night exactly like I like them. I love Marty Chris and JOhanna. I won't see them for a while though :( Me and Johanna are both gone till Saturday and when we get back Marty is gone till the next Saturday. Very sad I know. And then Chris will be leaving and Blake is already gone and I won't be seeing Meera again and gosh dang it goodbye's suck. More on that later I'm sure. I'll miss you all while I'm at orientation, don't have too much fun without me!
Wow. What a culture shock today. I switched the summer up and hung out with Mary Rehor and some of the guys from grade school. How different than hanging out with Fenwick kids. Well, different but then again in a lot of ways the same. Mary came over and we had no clue what to do (as always). We tried to maybe do something with Annie but that fell through. We got some ice cream at Polar Bear and then decided to go see Farenheit 9/11. Brandon met up with us there. It was a good movie. And I can check a movie off of my list to see. I was somewhat anti-Bush before seeing the movie, but I liked it. It dragged on at parts, but it was really funny. I didn't buy all of it, but it still gave you something to think about. I also realized that I am really blessed to have been given the option to register to vote already. Brandon said that he hasn't registered and doesn't plan on it. I'm like, why not??? I can't imagine why a person would choose not to excersize their right to vote! But some people just don't care I guess. I'm really luck to have the knowledge and choices that I do. I probably don't excersize my rights often enough, I should follow the presidential election way closer than I do. But anyways fast forwarding after the movie we met Adam and Cedric at Adam's house. That was cool. Low key night, much like every other night. But this one was spent watching Brandon and Adam play video games and then watching some entertaining vidoes. Well one was just stupid, but apparently entertaining to the guys one was hilarious because it had a little adam (my butt will be soo relaxed!), and one was interesting (scared straight circa 1999) It was good seeing the guys again. They still seem to be hung up on Blake (when did you break up with him again? .. umm last September guys, I've told you this about 4 times before .. .Have you gone out with any one since then? ... Not technically ... once again reminding me of my horrible luck with relationships that last more than one night. .. *sigh* oh well) Over all it was a good night spent catching up. However I did miss a girls move night, which was very dissapointing. But from Georgia's blog I gather it wasn't TRULY a girls night, so i don't feel that bad. It would have been nice to be in two places at one time but alas it wasn't meant to be.

Well. I found out why everyone has been raving about "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind". I went to see the $2 show with Chris Johanna and Caryn. But more on that later. Today started out less than stellarly because I promised myself that I would wake up early and get to mass. Which I didn't do. Very dissapointed in myself. I then found out that I would be the lone representative of the Donoghue Clan at the family picnic. But I dragged my brother along so it all turned out fine. The family picnic was good, lost some of the fun of my younger years there I guess, but everything changes, nothing gold can stay and that whole spiel. I ate way to much but burned it all of being horrible at beanbag tossing (I have a handicap with my arms I swear!) and volleyball playing. And I got re-re-phyched for Bradley-ness by continuing to talk to Susie. We are gonna do intramurals together! PingPong and VolleyBall! I am very excited. And I am excited and aprehensive about Orientations this week. But yeah, the Family picnic just wasn't the same, and I don't think that it ever will be. Yet another sign that I am growing up. *sigh* I then went and surprised Chris with Donuts :) ME him and Johanna hung out at his house for a while (PS I love Mrs. Lund and the whole Lund family!) then I dragged Chris along to see the movie with us. Which he must admit he didn't hate. And he didn't try to leave half way through which is always a plus.
So the movie, wow. Obviously it's good, everyone has been saying that right. A little confusing but even a blonde like me caught on pretty quickly. Not as quickly as Caryn though. It freaked me out because during the tent conversations at Maria's house I remember asking the question, "If you could erase one person from your life who would it be, I mean all effects that person had on your life and every memory you've had" This is pretty much the premise for the movie. So the fact that I had asked this same question was freaking me out. And I just kept remembering the person who I answered with. And after seeing the movie ... I really think I might still say the same thing. But maybe not. I guess it's not that simple. But yeah, it was a night for thinking to say the least.
Tomorrow is Monday ... Just had to remind myself ...

Wow. It is the beginning of the end folks. Blake is leaving if not gone already for Princeton. Meera leaves Friday. Chris leaves too soon. And there is so much to do and so little time to do it all in. I've really been pretending that it's not coming. And I was doing a really good job until this week. And I wanted to spend Tuesday with Chris and our quote unquote clique, because, well I just wanted to. But now that might be the last day EVER that I will see Meera (well for a very long time at least) And monday is movie night girls night now I think, but I said I'd hang out with Rehor and people that day. AAAAH! I really wish I could split time and spend a day two different ways. But I can't. So tomorrow I will do the family picnic, then see Eternal Sunshine at night with Caryn and Johanna and questions marks ... Monday I will spend with gradeschool Tuesday I will spend with Meera at movie at the park and Wednesday morning I will leave for orientation. *whew* blah blah blah blah blah. Minus that realization today was actually a not bad day. Sweeney's party was cool. A little weird cuz i realized that my Fenwick era really has passed. Like, there's a reason I don't see those people all the time anymore. We're not friends. I mean, they are cool, but they aren't my friends. And I'm really never going to hang out with them ever again possibly, we just don't have Fenwick to throw us together any more. I don't know how I feel about that. But Sweeney's WAS quite the cool time. We ended up at my house then Mickey's then Caryns yard. I love hanging out with my friends so it was good. I don't like my friends being moody. But then again as long as I didn't directly cause it and as long as they aren't having a problem with it. Well, I dunno it's icky. I want everybody to be happy. And I found out that Brian is STEALING MY ROLLER BLADING PARTNER TOMORROW!!! This is extremely uncool of him. He doesn't realize what holy ground he is treading on! You'd better not go NEAR a Korean Church Muffy!!!! But yeah ... Family Picnic and Eternal Sunshine tomorrow. Cool.
Things get in the way
The rush of everyday
Ordinary stuff we all get into
Wouldn't it be sad, if all you ever had
was a granite epitaph that said 'I meant to'
So any pretty woman I didn't take the time to kiss
Any crazy thing I didn't do, 'I meant to'
Any dirty liar I didn't stare right in the eye
and make him tell the naked truth, 'I meant to'
I'm always on the run some things get lost some get done
But if I didn't have all the fun I meant to, 'I meant to'
And if I never came out and said to each and everyone I love, how much I really do, 'I meant to'
Maybe this one chance
Is all we really have
Maybe all you got, is what you get to
Well I ain't gonna cry
I'll give it my best try
Then kiss the world goodbye and say 'I meant to'
So any pretty woman I didn't take the time to kiss
Any crazy thing I didn't do, 'I meant to'

Just to warn you, beware, there is sure to be a reflective and abstract post coming up soon. I started packing up some stuff for the big room switch and I found my old journals.
I'm looking forward to Sweeney's party today cuz hopefully I'll see Fenwick kids I haven't seen since Graduation, or maybe the leader retreat. Re-Fenwickifying myself if you will. I feel so removed from that place. I see my friends still, but only the same ones. I don't see the kids I used to see everyday. In some cases this is a GOOD thing, btu in others it's kinda a bittersweet thing. So yeah, hopefully I will see cool people today.
I saw my sister's play today. She was in Wizard of Oz. It made me miss BFG. And I decided that I have to find a way to be involved in theater at Bradley. Even if it's just on the side.
And yeah. The End. ... then I found 10 bucks in the pocket of my jeans :)
He said I was in my early forties
with a lot of life before me
when a moment came that stopped me on a dime
and I spent most of the next days
looking at the x-rays
Talking bout the options
and talking bout sweet time
I asked him when it sank in
that this might really be the real end
hows it hit you when you get that kinda news
man what'dya do
and he said
I went sky diving
I went Rocky Mountain climbing
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named BluManchu
and I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter
and I gave forgiveness I'd been denying
and he said someday I hope you get the chance
to live like you were dying.
He said I was finally the husband
that most the time I wasn't
and I became a friend a friend would like to have
and all the sudden going fishin
wasn't such an imposition
and I went three times that year I lost my dad
well I finally read the good book
and I took a good long hard look
at what I'd do if I could do it all again
and then
I went sky diving
I went Rocky Mountain climbing
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named BluManchu
and I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter
and I gave forgiveness I'd been denying
and he said someday I hope you get the chance
to live like you were dying.
Like tomorrow was a gift and you got eternity to think about
what'd you do with it what did you do with it
what did I do with it
what would I do with it?
Sky diving
I went Rocky Mountain climbing
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named BluManchu
and then I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter
and I watched an eagle as it was flying
and he said someday I hope you get the chance
to live like you were dying.
To live like you were dying
To live like you were dying
To live like you were dying
To live like you were dying
I'm looking forward to Sweeney's party today cuz hopefully I'll see Fenwick kids I haven't seen since Graduation, or maybe the leader retreat. Re-Fenwickifying myself if you will. I feel so removed from that place. I see my friends still, but only the same ones. I don't see the kids I used to see everyday. In some cases this is a GOOD thing, btu in others it's kinda a bittersweet thing. So yeah, hopefully I will see cool people today.
I saw my sister's play today. She was in Wizard of Oz. It made me miss BFG. And I decided that I have to find a way to be involved in theater at Bradley. Even if it's just on the side.
And yeah. The End. ... then I found 10 bucks in the pocket of my jeans :)
He said I was in my early forties
with a lot of life before me
when a moment came that stopped me on a dime
and I spent most of the next days
looking at the x-rays
Talking bout the options
and talking bout sweet time
I asked him when it sank in
that this might really be the real end
hows it hit you when you get that kinda news
man what'dya do
and he said
I went sky diving
I went Rocky Mountain climbing
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named BluManchu

Today was ... hmm, come to think of it I don't know what adjective to place here. It was okay. It was fun. It was interesting. It was sometimes annoying. I think over all it was good though? Good things: Hanging out with Phine, hilarious personal ads from Hong Kong (Would you dress up like Sailor Moon and massage my elbows???), Polar Bear Ice Cream, convos with Caryn and Johanna, being anti social with Chris and just talking (or just me talking and him staring, but whatever works ... So WHAT article of clothing would you be Chris?? Oh geez!) there were other good things .... and the bad things weren't really important: Finding out that Marty doesn't like hanging out with me (this is an exageration and I know he wasn't serious but added to blah mood nonetheless), calling Chris while he was doing church things with Loy, political slash religious conversations which can occasionally be cool but not when you are arguing with someone who doesn't listen, Finding out Marty lives in his own little world that only has guests, Being called a non-practicing Catholic, Having Caryn bring something up that I didn't really want mentioned outloud (this is annoyance at my own thoughts not as Caryn for saying anything by the way) ... But Like I said it was a MAINLY good day. I don't even know why I was eh. But I was, tis life.
Chris leaves, pretty much for good, two weeks from Thursday ish. This sucks a lot. I need to hang out with him a lot till then. Because yes, contrary to popular belief I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY LOVE HANGING OUT WITH HIM BECAUSE CHRIS LUND IS AWESOME AND IF HE DIDN'T EXIST I MIGHT GO DIE. (hint hint Chris) Right, so that kind of sucks. But oh well ...
Mary Rehor moves to Bolingbrook in 11ish days or something. I know this from her sister's away message. I need to hang out with her. Ug, can I follow through on anything??? OH well ...
For the record the answer to your question Caryn is still no. I just have cycles and I am going through the motions of the cycle without the feelings. I dont think that that made anysense. But it's happening nonetheless. It's nothing to worry about. I mean, we're all gonna be gone in 2 months anyways. *sigh*
Meera is leaving on Friday for India and won't be back till the day I am leaving for Peoria. Too many of my friends (being 2) are leaving WAY to early! You are supposed to stay home till August!!! Grrr, I will miss my friends ... Oh well ...
WE MUST SET A DATE FOR TGIFRIDAYS!!!
Happy (late) birthday to Maggie. w00t.
Something that has been bothering me recently. I feel like the person who I am today is someone who I would have looked down on a few months ago. But at the same time, I really don't have any shame for the things that I have done. But I just know that I'm doing things that I wouldn't have approved of a few months ago. I don't like the feeling that some people might not approve of me or my actions. But at the same time that doesn't make me want to change them. This is a confusing feeling ...
Lyrics of the night ala Caryn and Johanna (sorry for the butchering of them):
If all the raindrops were lemon drops and gum drops
Oh what a rain that would be!
If all the raindrops were lemon drops and gum drops
Oh what a rain that would be!
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah

AAAH! Going clubbing last night was endless amounts of fun! Me, Jasmine, and Johanna looked damn sexy and had a freakin' fantastic time! Now to start from the beginning ... After work Johanna came and picked me up and we went shopping! :) Which I hadn't done in 4ever! I bought very cute things and spent my own guilt free money, So even if our day had ended there it would have been very successful. But of course it didn't. We headed over to Jasmine's and grabbed Panera then went back to jas's to get ready for the night. Man and what the night it was. First of all, just to clarify, no we did not see Mr. H at Energy. However after contemplating how random and disturbing it would have been it ended up on my away message. I am random, yes I know. We did see a Blake look a like though, which would have been weird in and of itself, but then he came up and started dancing with me and yeah ... It was weird. And just for future reference according to Muffy you have to have either belly button showing or cleavage to get guys to dace with you. However, I contest that gross 30 year old people who you have to push off of you do not constitute dancing. So in that case I think I only danced with like 3 Guys. Besides which, the fun part of the night had nothing to do with guys. For once! Seriously, for the first time in a while guys were the furthest thing from my mind. I was just having fun dancing with my girls :) We eventually did make it into the club, after our mantra of "please let them be skanks please let them be skanks!" ... But yeah clubbing gets a thumbs up from me ... plus I think I burned off every meal I had eaten in the past week! So yay. Then me and Johanna treated ourselves to Wendy's at 1:30 in the morning on a dark side street in Oak Park that might as well have been named Shady Lane. We were going to eat on Scoville next to Fenwick, but the car we almost pulled up to looked ... well, a little "occupied". ahem. Gross, making out next to Fenwick, blah. Okay so now ... for the most awesome quote of the night ... by one Johanna Iwanicki ... "It would really suck to be a dog ... cuz then you couldn't make out with anyone". A very deep obvervation. Unless you are Brian the dog apparently. Which reminds me, even better than clubbing are conversations held online AFTER you and a friend have been clubbing. The randomness I love it!!! Goodnight Mr. Flamingo. Man, but yeah, what a night. And tonight I think we're getting a group together to hang out with Phine! wOOt !!!!!! Okay till later!
Lyrics for the day:
"It's raining it's pouring
The old man is snoring
He bumped his head and went to bed
and didn't get up till the moooooorning!"

I don't give my brother nearly enough credit. He nailed my problem right on the head with a certain person. I mean it's one thing for me and my friends to pick up on my bad habits. But when my brother does ... I'm rethinking some things ... Then again there's really nothing to rethink. Better Idea, I am going to shut my brain off for the next month and a half ish and just have fun. Wait, isn't that what i've been doing? Stupid brothers saying things. Ah well I don't care. And now I am just spamming my blog with pointless thoughts. I apolagize.
Wow, I definitely have a newfound appreciation for how swimmingly things are going these days. I just got a blast from the past by rereading some people's blogs from the school year. And wow. I know we talk about high school drama all the time, but WHOA! We definitely had our fill. And personally looking back it all seems RIDICULOUS!!! Like, not based on anything concrete or meaningful. Not that we didn't realize this before, but I was just taken aback with how caught up I let myself get in it all. I'm not even talking about one instance, just the whole year and ALL the drama. And right now things couldn't be more perfect. For once drama is subsided, (and as I say this something else will errupt and I will eat my words ... hopefully not!) All the drama that DID exist went away with maybe some feelings hurt, but no friendships really lost (although maybe it came close to that sometimes) and we're all one big happy (while perhaps still a little dysfunctional) family still. This makes me happy. And that was the sole reason for this post. Thank you for the past month everyone! It's only gonna get more memorable random and fun :)

Girls night tonight rocked as always. Down with Love and Now and Then. Just being us. I loved it, as always.
*sigh* I figured out what is missing from my life ... ROMANCE. I am now 18 years old and have yet to be drinking cokes on a porch swing with devon sawa or watching the lights turn from green to red with Noah or on the bow of the titantic with Leo ... all those other romantic things that are in the movies. Granted I don't actually expect my life to be like a movie, life just isn't that perfect. But I want at least one relationship that both parties are into and which lasts more than one night. Must develop this in college.
Mosquito bites are annoying.
Like REALLY annoying!
Would I really miss my legs that much if I just cut them right off?
I have nothing else interesting to say anymore. So till tomorrow when I can recap fun clubbing adventure!
Blue lights flashing in my rear view
The sheriff said boy i should have known it was you
You got 14 people in the back of this truck
I warned you twice and now im writing you up
I said officer what have I've done
He smiled and said boy your having too much fun
Chorus:
Too much fun whats that mean
It's like too much money, theres no such thing
Its like a girl to pretty, or too much class
Being too lucky, or car to fast
No matter what they say ive done, well i aint never had too much
fun
There was a fight Friday night at the stumble in
Me and old Harley just had to join in
Next thing you know we were both seeing stars
They threw us out, floored down the bar
I said the law branch is open, the nights still young
and we aint never had too much fun
Chorus:
Too much fun whats that mean
It's like too much money, theres no such thing
Its like a girl to pretty, or too much class
Being too lucky, or car to fast
No matter what they say ive done, well i aint never had too much
fun
Im a holy terror, a tornado
wind me up turn me loose and let me go
Chorus:
Too much fun whats that mean
It's like too much money, theres no such thing
Its like a girl to pretty, or too much class
Being too lucky, or car to fast
No matter what they say ive done, well i aint never had too much
fun
No matter what they say ive done, well i aint never had too much
fun
Give me the reins and let me run
cus i aint never had too much fun

Last night gets a million big plusses! Johanna picked me up for a date with Panera after I got off babysitting and then we hung out with marty and Chris. It had been way too long since we'd all done that. Although SOME friends like to ditch their friends ahem ahem but it's okay we all met up eventually hahaha. And how had I never seen Blues Brothers before? Crazy! Some notewothy quotes ...
[After a burst of gunfire from the Mystery Woman, Jake climbs to his feet, covered in mud from the tunnel floor]
Jake: It's good to see you, sweetheart.
Mystery Woman: You contemptible pig! I remained celibate for you. I stood at the back of a cathedral, waiting, in celibacy, for you, with three hundred friends and relatives in attendance. My uncle hired the best Romanian caterers in the state. To obtain the seven limousines for the wedding party, my father used up his last favor with Mad Pete Trullo. So for me, for my mother, my grandmother, my father, my uncle, and for the common good, I must now kill you, and your brother.
[Jake falls to his knees]
Jake: Oh, please, don't kill us. Please, please don't kill us. You know I love you baby. I wouldn't leave ya. It wasn't my fault.
Mystery Woman: You miserable slug! You think you can talk your way out of this? You betrayed me.
Jake: No I didn't. Honest... I ran out of gas. I, I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. Locusts. IT WASN'T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD.
[Elwood covers his head in anticipation of more gunfire, Jake removes his sunglasses to make a wordless appeal, and the Mystery Woman visibly softens]
Mystery Woman: Oh, Jake... Jake, honey...
[Jake embraces the Mystery Woman and they kiss]
Jake: [to Elwood] Let's go.
[He drops the Mystery Woman and walks off]
Elwood: [to the Mystery Woman as he steps past her] Take it easy.
Elwood: I took the liberty of bullshitting you.
Jake: You lied to me.
Elwood: Wasn't lies, it was just... bullshit.
Johanna I think you know the relevance of these quotes, notably the first one hehehe. And as the movie ended there was dancing and fun antics. And then there was MASH watching, and MASH trivia. It is absolutely repulsive how much Chris knows about that show!!!
Damn. I just don't know how to phrase it slash bring it up! It will have to wait for another day. Two missions for this summmer, bring it on! hehehe
Tomorrow I think me Jasmine and Johanna are going clubbing! It should either be freaky or fun but either way highly entertaining!!!
And I'm off to girls night which means there's no possible way this evening can be negative. I love it :):):)
On a dark desert highway
Cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas
Rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance
I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy, and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself
This could be Heaven or this could be Hell
Then she lit up a candle
And she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor
I thought I heard them say
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely place (background)
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year
Any time of year (background)
You can find it here
You can find it here
Her mind is Tiffany twisted
She's got the Mercedes bends
She's got a lot of pretty, pretty boys
That she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard
Sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember
Some dance to forget
So I called up the Captain
Please bring me my wine
He said
We haven't had that spirit here since 1969
And still those voices are calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely Place
Such a lovely Place (background)
Such a lovely face
They're livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise
What a nice surprise (background)
Bring your alibies
Mirrors on the ceiling
Pink champagne on ice
And she said
We are all just prisoners here
Of our own device
And in the master's chambers
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives
But they just can't kill the beast
Last thing I remember
I was running for the door
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
Relax said the nightman
We are programed to recieve
You can check out any time you like
But you can never leave

The worst part of forgetting things is that you can't remember that you're forgetting anything! Should I be concerned about that? Let's hope not!
So today Susie did come over and we had a rockin' time as always. I mean, we're us. So how can anything not be fun? I cracked up over a certain diet coke story. Oh Susie ... If you weren't so much like me I could make fun of you a hell of a lot more! ;) I got re-excited for Bradley-nes next year. I wish I could just live parallel lives simultaneously being here and there. Bradley and Fenwick. Or not even Fenwick just Bradley and this summer. I wish this summer could go on forever. What awesome times have been had so far!!!
"Sorry, I'm freaky like that ..."
Johanna: That's when you turn and run!
I love being kidnaped. It should happen more often. ;)
So she can’t go out tonight again
Her sister’s sick, she’s gotta baby-sit
Yeah, that sounds like a pretty good excuse
Now you didn’t hear any of this from me
But things aren’t always what they seem
Brace yourself, this may come as a shock to you
Girls lie, too
We don’t care how much money you make
What you drive or what you weigh
Size don’t matter anyway
Girls lie, too
Don’t think you’re the only ones
Who bend it, break it, stretch it some
We learn from you
Girls lie, too
We can’t wait to hear about your round of golf
We love to see deer heads hanging on the wall
And we like Hooter’s for their hotwings too
Other guys never cross our minds
We don’t wonder what it might be like
How could it be any better than it is with you
Girls lie, too
We don’t care how much money you make
What you drive or what you weigh
Size don’t matter anyway
Girls lie, too
Don’t think you’re the only ones
Who bend it, break it, stretch it some
We learn from you
Girls lie, too
Yeah, girls lie, too
We always forgive and forget
The cards and flowers you never sent
Will never be brought up again
Girls lie, too
Old gray sweatpants turn us on
We like your friends and we love your mom
And that's the truth
Girls lie, too
Yeah that’s the truth
Girls lie, too
No, we don’t care how much hair you have
Yeah, that looks good
Comb it over like that
Girls lie too

How could it be any better than it is with you
Girls lie, too
We don’t care how much money you make
What you drive or what you weigh
Size don’t matter anyway
Girls lie, too
Don’t think you’re the only ones
Who bend it, break it, stretch it some
We learn from you
Girls lie, too
Yeah, girls lie, too
We always forgive and forget
The cards and flowers you never sent
Will never be brought up again
Girls lie, too
Old gray sweatpants turn us on
We like your friends and we love your mom
And that's the truth
Girls lie, too
Yeah that’s the truth
Girls lie, too
No, we don’t care how much hair you have
Yeah, that looks good
Comb it over like that
Girls lie too
I'm writing you to
catch you up on places I've been
You held this letter
probably got excited, but there's nothing else inside it
Didn't have a camera by my side this time
hoping I would see the world with both my eyes
maybe I will tell you all about it when I'm
in the mood to lose my way with words
Today skies are painted colors of a cowboy's cliche
And strange how clouds that look like mountains in the sky
are next to mountains anyway
Didn't have a camera by my side this time
Hoping I would see the world with both my eyes
Maybe I will tell you all about it when I'm
in the mood to lose my way
but let me say
You should have seen that sunrise with your own eyes
it brought me back to life
You'll be with me next time I go outside
just no more 3x5's Guess you had to be there
Guess you had to be with me
Today I finally overcame
tryin' to fit the world inside a picture frame
Maybe I will tell you all about it when I'm in the mood to
lose my way but let me say
You should have seen that sunrise with your own eyes
it brought me back to life
You'll be with me next time I go outside
no more 3x5's
Well. Well. Well.
Lots to blog about I suppose, but I don't even know where to BEGIN!!! I suppose that I will take it day by day. If I can even remember it day by day.
Okay so Friday was Taste of Lombard with Kc and company. Come to think of it, I already blogged about that. Grass fights etcetera. But yeah, despite my not doing it justice in blog form it was a great time. I think George described it better. So onto Saturday ...
Oh wow. Saturday is where it gets a little bit blurry. Kristin's lakehouse was everything it could have been and more. I didn't know what to expect but it was an AWESOME time. It was lacking key people and you were all missed. But I managed to have fun anways. Sidenote: Maggie rocks!!! Just incase any of you didn't know before. I'm glad she came up with us. Ozga of course always rocks nothing new there right lol. Anyways Ozga Maggie and I got up to Kristin's pretty early (like 3:30) and just sat around talking with each other and also with Kristin, Sarah, Stephanie, and her friend Maria. We stopped by a liqour store ... to buy FOOD!!! Which was a random experience. Speaking of, I think i have two bags of popcorn in my bag right now. I completely forgot that I bought that. Hm, that works lol! So back my story. Randomness as always followed Maggie and I everywhere (Below Knee?!?) So fast forwarding. Kristin's aunt was up there with us, and wow let me just say. I wish I had an aunt that cool. Holy Cow. The mix of people at Kristin's was really cool, Like I said, didn't know what to expect. But the RB guys are a lot of fun, and even Katie and Stephanie's friends were really cool to talk to. Fun kids ... I met one guy named Mike. I think that's all I'll share. From here on out I don't completely remember everything in the order they happened. So random events of the evening: We met Mr. Borsch's grandson, Kyle went for a spin in his "boat", finding out that my sister apparently reads my blog ... I don't think I like that, oh well ... hmm, I think the rest was really funny at the time but wouldn't be as funny now. So maybe I shouldn't even try to make it funny. I don't regret anything of the night though. I had a good time.
The next day I felt like Crap. Fairly sure I looked it too. It was hot and I felt sick and I was tired. Blah. I apolagize for all those who were at the taste with me. Anyway I was dead up until the Crows came on. Cuz at that point I was like Hell no! I did not wait in line since 10 AM to be friggin dead during this concert so I just PRETENDED to have energey and all of a sudden I did. The Counting Crows were AMAZING. I just went home with Jasmine after that. I wasn't feeling up for anything else. Chris stopped by. I took a shower and then we all just hung out on my deck for a few minutes then I kicked them out and passed out. End of the weekend. But what a good good weekend it was. Only downsides were the getting BURNT at the taste and getting TONS of mosquito bites on Saturday. All the itching and burning!!! (lol Johanna) Maybe I shouldn't have been outside so often. Wait, nah. I definitely should have been ;) ....
A testament to how OUT of it I was at the taste, Something I said to Johanna while in line
me: "So then he said he was just going to best buy best buy ..."
Johanna: Umm did you realize you just said that twice?
me: "said what twice?"
And today I was lazy. I have to snap out of this haze and get into reality. There is responsibility to have this week. I spend pretty much the entire after noon on the phone with Johanna. And it was a very well spend afternoon. yay Johanna. A very good idea was brought up. Or maybe it was a very bad idea ... We'll just have to see hahaha .... And I have a new mission for the summer!!! wOOt haha. And soon I'm getting ice cream with Susie. I haven't seen her practically ALL SUMMER!!! I have tons to catch up with her on. And I have plans with Mary for this week that HAD BETTER HAPPEN! lol I have to have better time management. Okay with that I must be going. Ciao!
PS ~ Johanna had the most awesome idea that i've heard in a while ... For all us girls staying in touch next year ... have her tell you all about it!!!
Don't my baby look good in them blue jeans?
Tight on the top with a belly button ring
A little tatoo somewhere in between
She only shows to me
Hey we're going out dancin' she's ready tonight
So damn good-lookin' boys it ain't even right
And when bar tender says for the lady
what's it gonna be?
I tell him man...
She ain't into wine and roses
Beer just makes her turn up her nose
And, she can't stand the thought of sippin' champagne
No Cuervo Gold Margaritas
Just ain't enough good burn in taquilla
She needs somethin' with a little more edge and a little more pain
She's my little whiskey Girl
My Ragged-on-the-edges girl
Ah, but I like 'em rough
Baby got a '69 mustang
four on the floor, and you ought to hear the pipes ring
I jump behind the wheel and it's away we go
Hey, I drive too fast, but she don't care
Blue bandana tied all up in her hair
Just sittin' there singin' every song on the radieo
She ain't into wine and roses
Beer just makes her turn up her nose
And, she can't stand the thought of sippin' champagne
No Cuervo Gold Margaritas
Just ain't enough good burn in taquilla
She needs somethin' with a little more edge and a little more pain
She's my little whiskey Girl
My Ragged-on-the-edges girl
Ah, but I like 'em rough
Whoa she's my little whiskey girl
my raggid-on-the-edges girl
Ah, but I like 'em rough
Yeah, I like 'em rough
I like 'em rough
catch you up on places I've been

last night was amazing tons of fun awesomeness. Perfect night to follow such a beautiful day. There was a grass fight, (I had no idea you could get grass in such interesting places...), rocking in the grass to 90s pop, diana attempted cartwheels with skirts, running red lights, a stan sighting which is always cool, seing KC and Julianne who I hadn't seen in FORever!, realizing that Walters and Mr. Nieto are in the Gin Blossons. Having my ears blown out to the GIN BLOSSOMS :),
I would also just like to take this moment to say that Georgia is a mighty cool person. Perhaps even the mightiest.
And today is lakehouse fun. Which hopefully will be ... well ... fun! But even better will be Sunday seeing the Crows!!! I'm uber excited for that. Well gotta run !
PS this post really doesn't do much justice to last night. But oh well, my brain hasn't really been working the past few days.
Did you see the sky
I think it means that we've been lost
Maybe one less time is all we need
I can't really help it if my tongue's all tied in knots
Jumping off a bridge, it's just the farthest that I've ever been
Anywhere you go, I'll follow you down
Anyplace but those I know by heart
Anywhere you go, I'll follow you down
I'll follow you down, but not that far
I know we're headed somewhere, I can see how far we've come
But still I can't remember anything
Let's not do the wrong thing and I'll swear it might be fun
It's a long way down when all the knots we've tied have come undone
Anywhere you go, I'll follow you down
Anyplace but those I know by heart
Anywhere you go, I'll follow you down
I'll follow you down, but not that far
How you gonna ever find your place
Running in an artificial pace
Are they gonna find us lying face down in the sand
So what the hell now, we've already been forever damned
Anywhere you go I'll follow you down...
======================================
Tell me do you think it'd be all right
If I could just crash here tonight
You can see I'm in no shape for driving
And anyway I've got no place to go
And you know it might not be that bad
You were the best I'd ever had
If I hadn't blown the whole thing years ago
I might not be alone
Tomorrow we can drive around this town
And let the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found
To take its place...hey jealousy
And you can trust me not to think
And not to sleep around
If you don't expect too much from me
You might not be let down
Cause all I really want is to be with you
Feeling like I matter too
If I hadn't blown the whole thing years ago
I might be here with you
Tomorrow we can drive around this town
And let the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found
To take its place...hey jealousy
She took my heart
There's only one thing I couldn't start

*ah* today is a beautiful day!!! Like, ridiculously so. I love it! So much so that I played hookey from work today and drove myself to a park and just sat in the sun and read. So refreshing. I need to do that more often. Then I picked up my sister and treater her to ice cream. Not even my guilt over not stopping at the lemonade stand Chris told me about can dampen this mood!!! :) My parents finding out that I ditched work could ... but shhhhh I won't tell if you won't ;) Well it's a beautiful day, I'm gonna go continute to enjoy it!

Who dream with everything they have.
All around the world,
This one's for the girls.

Bullet points of my thoughts:
-Seeing every other person at the Taste of Chicago check Chris out was priceless
-Hanging out with Chris is always fun ... let's see, I got compared to a bobble head doll today and got constantly mocked and beat up ... what else are friends for? (Like he tried to, he failed at, and he didn't want to ... long, but clever Chris)
-Seeing Johanna is always a plus to any day
-I don't want to go to work tomorrow
-I really have no right to complain about my ridiculously lax job
-Friends who have drama are no fun. Well I mean, they are fun. But I feel bad when situations exist I can't wave a magic wand and fix :(
-The O face guy from Office Space is also in Coyote Ugly apparently
-I love IMDB
-It's July. Wow. Just wow
-So apparently my yearbook really is lost forever. How does a yearbook just dissapear??? *tear*
-Today is Annie Martin's birthday. I realized this from her away message. Also realized I haven't seen her let alone hung out with her in ... is it a year? Well anyway a ridiculously long time. Not to mention Nicole. Blah for friendships that I let die. I need to fix those.
-God I hope that i never am saying that about the friends I have now ... but I know inevitably I will about some
-How did I not mention my new nickname of M-DO which was my brian child at girls night?
-Do you need a passport to go to Wisconsion hehehe ...
-I wonder why I bother making bullet notes
-I'm just too lazy to complete any thoughts tonight
-Tomorrow's Friday ... wOOt!
-A big Hell yeah to Meera's statement of "Blogs don't create drama, People creat drama" !!!
-Sorry for being one of those people sometimes
-I'm tired ... Goodnight!
There was a girl i knew who always wanted to be the one to stand out from the crowd
Always believe that she was gonna live her dreams..
That what when down was gonna come around for all the
Doubters non believers the cynical that once were dreamers..
One of these days you'll open up your eyes and you'll realize ..
[Chorus]
That girl was a one time teenage drama queen
A hot, tough everyday wannabe...but she'll have changed her destiny.. now she's a somebody.
That girl was a wild child dreamer but she found herself.
Cuz she believes in nothin else and you'll look back and you won't believe that girl was me.
Armed with an attitude that she knows how to use.
She's gonna get there any way she can.
Now she knows what she wants no one is gonna stop her nothings ever gonna hold her down.
For all the doubters non believers the cynical that once were dreamers..
One of these days you'll know that you were Wrong..(who would know)
[Chorus]
That girl was a one time teenage drama queen
A hot, tough everyday wannabe...but she'll have changed her destiny.. now she's a somebody.
That girl was a wild child dreamer but she found herself.
Cuz she believes in nothin else and you'll look back and you wont believe that girl was me.
Life is a work of art you gotta paint it colorful,
Can make it anything u want don't have to stick to any rules
You don't need a high IQ to succeed in what you do,
You just gotta have no doubt just believe in yourself.
Doubters, non-believers.. once were dreamers.
One of these days you'll open up your eyes... and you'll realize
[Chorus] 2x
That girl was a one time teenage drama queen
A hot, tough everyday wannabe...but she'll have changed her destiny.. now she's a somebody.

Cuz she believes in nothin else and you'll look back and you wont believe that girl was me.
Life is a work of art you gotta paint it colorful,
Can make it anything u want don't have to stick to any rules
You don't need a high IQ to succeed in what you do,
You just gotta have no doubt just believe in yourself.
Doubters, non-believers.. once were dreamers.
One of these days you'll open up your eyes... and you'll realize
[Chorus] 2x
That girl was a one time teenage drama queen
A hot, tough everyday wannabe...but she'll have changed her destiny.. now she's a somebody.
That girl was a wild child dreamer but she found herself.
Cuz she believes in nothin else and you'll look back and you wont believe that girl was me.
