What? Me? ... Drink to avoid awkward situations and seeing someone I didn't want to? Psshhhh NEEEEEEEEEEEVER.

I would classify yesterday as an OC-esque party moment.

Anywho other than that last night was a lot of fun, random perhaps, but definitely fun. I woke and discovered i had texted someone named " WY" in my phone book, what did the text say? "lj" Who's number was it? My mom's! What the hell happened last night??? Ah well ...

Maria is my favorite ;) Next time less "happy" and more me and you time! lol

I really miss having a schedule. The days are all running together in a mash of seeing friends, sleeping, going online, and sleeping some more. I really need a job, and it's not like I'm not TRYING is the thing! Grr, I have sporadic office work at Lisa Gill's PR office which is SOMETHING and it's $10.50 an hour. But I need something more constant. I need a schedule and $$$!

Seeing high school friends has been interesting. I've seen how some can dissapoint and others smash through my cynism and be kick ass just like old times.

I feel so old. I've gone to 2 grade school functions this past week and I can't believe how old all the little kids are! They aren't even little kids anymore! It's crazy!

Blast from the past this Sunday at St. Bernardine's day. I talked to 3 people who I haven't been in contact with for about 3 years, one of whom I was in love with for like a year and a half. Weird. The other day I was rereading some of my journals from high school and was reading about the 4th of July after freshman year of High School when I realized ... that was FOUR years ago. Doesn't that just seem crazy? I don't feel old enough to have memories that are four years old, especially since I remember feeling so old then. What does that make me now? Holy Crap.

I've been VERY discouraged with job hunting :(, Is ANYone hiring? I'm totally trying for once too! Ug, guess I'll go back out tomorrow ...

I forgot how much I missed Johanna Chris and Marty as a group. We had a fire in Chris's backyard the other night and it was a lot of fun. I love all of them.

I got to see Denise Jamie and Lisa Saturday YAY! (ps see kingdom of Heaven, I liked it!)

Since this post has really just been a add mix, I'll leave you all with ....
"Have a very merry mother fucking Christmas, Peace on earth, we are the world, and freaking Kumbayah!"

The Keys to Your Heart

You are attracted to good manners and elegance.
In love, you feel the most alive when your lover is creative and never lets you feel bored.
You'd like to your lover to think you are loyal and faithful... that you'll never change.
You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please.
Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with.
Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.
You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.
In this moment, you think of love as something you thirst for. You'll do anything for love, but you won't fall for it easily.

Tuesday, May 17, 2005

So I really don't want to be one of those people who becomes "too good" for high school and anyone they met/knew then ... cuz those people annoy the crap out of me.

But in a weird twisted not really at all way I think that I show symptoms of that sometimes. I just feel so ... moved on. I'm past it all, just ... I don't even know what i'm trying to say. But diving back into the Fenwick group just seems so strange and foriegn to me. It's one thing to spend time with the friends that I have kept up with over breaks and while away at school. But those who I haven't really talked to since graduation, summer, or maybe thanksgiving ... it just seems like such forced relationships and hangouts. I don't know. I'm sorry I'm just in a weird pessimistic mood but I would much rather just chill with my real friends than organize a mass high school hang out. I dunno ...I don't wanna be one of those people ... but I kinda might be one.

Don't get me wrong I have a lot of fun catching up ... I just hope the whole summer doesn't feel as forced and foriegn, I suppose it will get better.

PS ~ a biiiiiig HELL YEAH for Denise and Jamie for sure returning to good ol' Bradley next semester. We're gonna party like it's ... yeah you know how it goes :)

pps~ has any one else's sleeping patterns completely been off track. I'm not even close to tired till 3 or 4 am and then sleep till 2 or 3 pm ... not a good thing for someone who wants to get a job. Scratch that .. someone who WILL be finding a job tomorrow!!! Job hunting here we come ...!

Saturday, May 14, 2005

Sorry for uber long memory filled post. It was mostly for me anyways.

So now I'm home and the blogging every hour begins ... (just kidding Jamie). I miss G910 and all of Bradley. I unpacked for about 48 hours straight because I am anal like that and just can't be in a room that doesn't feel like MINE. I keep thinking I am only here temporarily and soon I'll be going back to Geisert. But I won't. My room there is bare right now. Saaaad :(

I've gotten to see a lot of friends from home and it's been pretty cool. Maybe this summer has some potential afterall.

My job fell through tho :-/ so back to the drawing board there .... crap.

The Crew ... *sniff sniff*
Posted by Hello

G910 BITCHES! .... forever
Posted by Hello

"For a while we had it all, we never dreamed it wouldn't last"

I'm going home for the summer ...

I guess this is when I do that end of year, changes, sadness of summer post. But I don't know what to say that I haven't already said ... Or I guess I just don't know where to begin ...

I'm going to miss my freshman year of college. No matter what things just won't be the same when we get back next year. So much will be different, who knows, it might be just as good, but it won't be the same. What will the summer bring? Will the crew be the same next year? Well I already know that it won't because Cali will be gone. Oh my God, Cali will be gone. I'll get to that later ... No more spending half my time in Wyckoff with Joe, instead it will be SAE w/ Nick as a roommate. I won't be living with Jamie, how are we gonna do that?, living in the KD house with girls I am not all that close with yet ... What will it all bring? And why when I think about it do I just want things to stay how they are right now forever? I don't want my freshman year to end, It's been an amazing one and I just don't want to let it go. But at least I can say that I have truly made the most out of it. We are close to being sophomores in college. Can ANYone comprehend that? Cause I sure as hell can't! I don't want to grow up this fast! 3 more years and I'll have to go out into that "real world" I've heard so much about. Scary.

Things that will forever remind me of G910:
Keg in the Closet
GWEN! (Does someone in here like Gwen Stefani?)
It's all coming back ALL COMING BACK TO ME NOOOOOW
Like a Saturday night I'll be gone before you knew that I was there
B-A-N-A-N-A-S
"Be a HO Be a HO ... Biblically you need to know"
The Dan Band ... and a frickin' Kumbaya!
"It's nine oclock on a saturday the regular crown shuffles in ..."
Please tell me WHY the car is in the front yard, and I'M sleeping with my clothes on ..." IT'S OUR DRUNKEN SONG!!!!
Nobody Puts Baby In a Corner and our awesome sing-along that works perfectly everytime.
Pizza Hut and Kit Kats
"and then you say "Hey, I brought you flowers" and then you say "Wait a minute Sally," "I think I got sometin' in my teeth could you get it out for me?" That's fuckin' teamwork! What's your favorite posish? That's cool with me, It's not my favorite but I'll do it for you. What's your favorite dish? I'm not gonna cook it but I'll order it from ZANZIBAR! "
I AM SELFISH I AM WRONG I AM RIGHT I SWEAR I'M RIGHT ...

Things I've learned:
* I should never be introduced to things like thefacebook because i have an addictive personality and WILL turn into a stalker
* Stay AWAY from townies (they will get you aw nah hell nah!)
* Pizza Hut cheese sticks and a 2 liter of pop is ALWAYS the answer at 11 on a weeknight in G910
* If you want kit kats from the vending machine you'd better get there before Jamie does!
* Wall paper um i mean WRAPPING paper above your bed is GENIUS
* But not as genius as CD cases above your couch, and the party wall ... G910 was so pretty!
* If you introduce me to ANY kind of music, chances are good that I will like some of it (ahem, SlipKnot, postal service)
* Avanti's bread just isn't the same without 2 pads of butter ;)
* Do not make the Great Wall owners mad by being obnoxious because they will curse you!
* Two words: Shit List
* Two more words: Swirve List haha
* Chick-fil-a has the best fast food chicken even if you DO have to go to Wisconsin to get it
* A road trip with Jamie, an ipod, and food stops is all you need for one of the most memorable weekends of your life.
* DELL IS THE ANTI-CHRIST ... i'll stop myself there before i get started ...
* EVERY room should have a Gwen wall
* We're all allowed some guilty pleasures
* Never get your hair cut in Campus Town, what are you, crazy?
* Labeling people in your phone as "jerk" or "asshole" gets confusing when you look through you're phone book
* That the OC is addicting and will cause you to ditch several classes in order to finish the first season on dvd
* To GO TO EXTRA CREDIT because you CAN lose an A by a few measly points!
* Never challenge Jamie on Friends or Will and Grace
* There is NO sex in the champaign room!
* Do NOT chug 2 bottles of tequila rose followed by keystone ... BAAAD idea!
* Finding a big brother who may bite me and make fun of me but if anyone else were to do it I know he'd be the first to beat them (cali *tear* I will miss you)
* A quote from My So Called Life, Queer as Folk, Wonder Years, or Sex and the City can all of a sudden make life make sense
* NEVER CLICK LINKS UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT THEY ARE!!! Fucking viruses ...
* Going to class is a good idea, who would have thought?
* Some townies are really sweet ... ahem ... WONDERDOG. I loved the lunches with the 4 of us.
* Don't give Jamie a lighter

On a few more serious notes ...
I've learned how to get in a fight with my best friend from high school and come out of it even stronger, I've learned to appreciate having a big brother who will always worry about me and want what is good for me (Chris I'm talking about you), I've learned that a night of drunkenly bawling and fighting should just be pushed under the rug the next morning because NOone knows what the fuck happened and it's best to leave it that way, I learned to FINALLY leave something from my past during Christmas break, I've learned to trust boys again (well at least one of them), I've learned to fall in love and just be happy with the moment, I learned that some people never grow up or leave high school and all you can do is leave them behind, The couples you think will never work often work best, that parents don't like it when you only call them when you run out of money, that just when you think he can't do it you're brother will do something even stupider than before but somehow you still love him.

Add-esque rambling thoughts about this year ....

I went from coming to the statement that I didn't believe in romantic love to falling into it, from weighing 100 lbs to 200, from being a goodie ... to whatever i am now. It's been a roller coaster of a year.

I wouldn't change a thing about this year. I can't believe that my freshman year brought what it did. And I am so thankful for every moment that I've had here. Wow. This is really it. Who'd have thought I could grow so close to these people over just one school year? I love you all and wish I could freeze this moment in time forever.

Can you believe that it's been just one year since we graduated from high school? I never realized how much things could change in JUST one year. I didn't realize how much I could change in just one year. The person who moved into Geisert Room 910 is NOT the girl who is moving out of G910.

I keep trying to imagine this year without someone ... and I just can't do it. EVERYthing would be different if there were no Jamie, or no Kate, or no Sara, or no Bug, or no Cali, or no Denise. Even if there was no Laura. Every person added to my year, and it wouldn't have been the same without them.

Damn now I'm getting sentimental and sad ...

Jamie - Well first things's first, G910 BITCHES! I can't believe that we have become as close as we have. To be completely honest my freshman year would have SUCKED without having you as a roommate. After all you ARE my only friend ;) lol. From meeting at Panera and thinking that I could live with you but we probably wouldn't be friends ... to ... oh man. But even when we did first meet that day, we spent 2 hours talking easily. We should have known that meant something. Conversations like that don't just happen everyday. (ps I remember that it took us half way through sitting there to mention our classes or majors ... hmm that makes sense looking back) Beginning the 11th of September the reign of the Fat Lazy Alcoholic Sluts began! How the hell did we survive our first semester? Each day brought us closer and closer as roommates and as friends and I don't want us to stop being roommates :( Not fair! I'll miss getting to observe your bi-polarness first hand 24-7, our naps, and all the craziness that happens in G910. I tell you everything and I don't think that I could have survived this year without you. I don't know how I can survive next year without you. I can't wait for Junior year (damn that house will be crazy!) I'm going to miss the little things next year. Getting ready together rocking out to G910 party mixes, braving the Geisert elevator together belting whatever song we have in our heads a the moment, and making our way to SAE (cuz who are we kidding, we don't go anywhere else) I'm going to miss it all so bad. Words can't really explain how important you have been to me this year.I don't know what else to say beyond .... I'll love you FOREVER Jamie ;) ...... bitches!

Denise - Denise Denise ... what to even say? I can't believe that we didn't hang out at all first semester! I remember our first night out together, it was the first study day eve and you and Amanda stopped by Geisert. You were WASTED (as you like to point out everytime you see that picture from that night), and we went from the 9th floor to the 10th floor, to Delts. I hadn't hung out with you before because I think I was jealous that Smu was your big. That was pretty silly looking back. When we went to Woodfield with you and Ashly I knew that we were going to get along awesomely the coming semester. We were just so damn similar! From the moment you started hanging out with our crew you fit in PERFECTLY! We always looking forward to you coming and hanging out. You are honestly the only Kappa Delta that I feel close to and I am SO glad that we are rooming together next semester. Our room will be crazy! We will most definitely see each other over the summer. I love you hun, and I am always always here for you ALWAYS.

Kate - I have loved every minute spent with you. From WonderDog meals, to playing catch phrase. Jamie is lucky to have you as a best friend. And actually, we are ALL lucky to know you. You're such a sweet fun crazy girl. I couldn't even describe how much I appreciate everything you've brought to my year at college. I love just chilling at SAE with you and I don't want it to end. I really admire the way that you stick up for all your friends. You can tell that you care a lot for all of them and aren't afraid to yell at someone in our lives who deserves it. You Rock Kate and i can't wait for more to come in our friendship

Sara - It's been an amazing year, remeber first semester when we were basically just acquaintences whose roommates happened to be best friends? Since then I think that we've gotten a lot closer, especially this semester. I love our sex in the city chats with the girls and all of our party moments. (ahem, saving you from the foam lol) You and Jamie really ARE the chicks who rock my world and i can't wait for more memories sophomore year.

Bug - I think that the fact that me and you have the same birthday is a sign. We were just meant to be friends. My year would have been completely different without meeting you through SAE. We've created some awesome memories and I can't wait for even more to be created next year. You're just so awesome and I wish I could think of better words to express that right now. I love ya Bug.

Cali - Don't leave? I am so happy that I got to know you this year. When Jamie introduced me to you and Bug I had no idea how close we would all become in such a short amount of time. I don't know what I am going to do without you next year. Even when you are being an ass (what? I mean not that you do that ...) I still love you. Because I know that you've got my back. If anyone were to do something to me or any of us girls i know that you would be the first to be on the hunt. I love that you take such good care of us. And your hugs, man, you're hugs ... you always know just how to make someone feel special. I'm going to miss you so much next year ... I hate to think about next year and you being gone. It's just too fucking sad. You'll always be my favorite Republican. I think I'll even miss your hickies if that is possible. :( GoodBYEE

Laura - I'm so glad that you met Cali and ended up joining our group. You are the sweetest girl and I've had such a fun time getting to know you. And next year you'll be living right across the street from me so we'd better be hanging out!

Susie - You are the REASON I came to Bradley. Without you I wouldn't even have heard of this wonderful place. I'm so glad that we've been spending so much time together second semester. I am so thankful that whenever I need it you are always there. If i need to vent or complain, or if I just want some Susie time you are just a call or an im away. You know I'm always here to provide you entertainment. It's so awesome to have someone from home on campus with me. It's a comfort that I'm so glad for. I think my favorite Mary-Susie memory of the year was our Steak and Shake adventure. I was online drunk iming (silly Mary) and within a few minutes you ended up coming over. You were there when I had the STUPIDEST idea of reconciling with ... a stupid person. And then ... drunken trip to Steak and Shake! I saw Joe (who was just that kid from SAE back then there) ... hahaha funny to look back and things like that. And apparently I tried to unfog your windows for you with my hand?? Whoops. I LOVE YOU SUSIE! Always have and Always will. I guess there's a reason that I've followed you through high school and college so far.

SAE boys - Kane, Alex, Trevor, Farva, Oldham, Barrett, Fox ... just all of you. You have made for one of the most memorable years of my life. Just observing your drunken antics and sometimes being able to be a part of them. Best college memories ever!

Joel I'm glad that we met you. I'll leave the sappy stuff for Jamie ;)

To G9 - What a great floor to live on. From my favorite neighbors Aurora and Danielle (and you're 456 people in the room) to Flo who I always look forward to chatting with to Kristin the best ara EVER to Whitney and Shannon to Kathleen (the answer is yes, we are always going to SAE lol) to Jen ... You girls are all so sweet and it's been awesome living with you. Well, minus the loud singing at points, but then again I think me and Jamie have been guilty of that several times.

KD Zetas You are some of the most awesome girls that I know and I'm looking forward spending more time getting to know you guys next year when we all live in house. Whitney, Marissa, and Ashly you guys have especially been awesome to get to know. I love you guys!

Joe - I don't know what to say. I don't even know if you ready my blog or if you would have read all the way down to this. I love you. You know that. If i hadn't invited you up after that random keg and spend that night talking with you till 8, Everything would have been different. You are an amazing person and I am lucky to know you. You're not only my boyfriend you're my best friend. Okay, sappiness over. Sorry guys.

Well, I guess that I am coming to the end of this entry ... about time? Yeah I know. I doubt anyone actually read through this far. But the best part of creating this was remember so many of our random memories from the entire year. For the past few days all of Jamie and I's conversations have started with "Remember that time ..." It is going to suck being away from all of you for 3 months. But I hope that sophomore year creates even more of these memories. I will not be sad that this year is over I will not be sad that this year is over I will not be sad that this year is over

I will not be said because this year is ..... over :(

This has been one of the best years of my life .. and I don't want to say goodbye to it

I LOVE YOU BRADLEY!!!
Upon sober reflection ...

I feel a little silly for my "missing Joe" period of last night, I mean come on I'm gonna see the kid Thursday. Although it is sad coming home at the end of the night alone.

My camera: I've done some experimenting ... I got all the pictures and videos from last night. The batteries are fine. And the memory card is too. So I am not as upset as last night. Only problem is ... the Camera is still either water logged or broken. Please pray for me that it is only water logged and will be fine when I go home.

My watch stopped when we got thrown in the pool last night ... Does that mean that time gets to stop just how things are now? That would be sweet.

That watch actually served me for almost a year though, and it was really cute. Can we have a moment of silence to honor my pretty watch? I guess it was just it's time ...



Thank you.

So anyways, where was I? All in all I'm gonna say that all the pool fun was worth the craziness.

I DO still maintain that Chris is an asshole. and that Denise kicks ass and I love her. I can't wait for next year and getting to know her even better than I already do. We will always be there for you no matter what, we only let certain people into our crew, and once they are in they are in for LIFE. Don't you forget that we will always be here for you. No matter WHAT.

As for the drunken crying ... we all knew it was going to happen. And once Denise started crying about Chris's text, I started crying seeing her cry. Then my brain was like, what happens when one of us gets upset over the summer and we're not all here to comfort each other, and we can't spend all the time together, and what if we all lose touch and things aren't the same next year and we're never sitting in a room playing a drinking game. And then I couldn't stop the crying. And then Katie started and Jamie too. Crap. I'm going to miss this so much. I HAD BETTER SEE ALL OF YOU OVER THE SUMMER!

I am thankful for all the great friends I have waiting for me back at home by the way, I love all of you too.

I really AM going to miss Cali. Geez, I won't get started on that one again. I just can't believe he's really leaving.

Change sucks. Even though it usually makes possible even greater times in the future. I still never want to let go of what I have at the moment. I remember leaving high school wishing I could relive senior year over and over again. And if that change hadn't have come. I wouldn't be so upset at leaving all my wonderful Bradley friends for 3 months. So who knows? Maybe next school year holds even better things for all of us and we just can't see past things right now. Maybe that made no sense, oh well.

I love all my BRadley friends ... huge memory filled post coming up ...
I'm so fucking sad

We all got pissed at Chris ... because he's a dick and Denise is soooooooo much more worth it than he ever could wish to be. A FUCKING PRICK!!!!!!

and then once we started crying ..... oh boy the flood was let loose. and me and kate and jamie and denise were crying but esp some of us ... and it's just so sad i almost wanna start cyring now because CALI IS LEAVING and the summe will seperate us and onthing wil,l EVE Rb be the same and it just makes me SOOOOO SAD. and obviously everyone else too and

i can't believe all that happened 2nite ... we played games and drank and then bitched out chris and then comforted denise BECAUSE WE LOVER HER SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH ... sooooooooooo much. it's not even funny HONESTLY haha jamie

and then we kept playing games and then we all got in the pool somehow which was all fun

BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT

OMG I AM GOING TO MISS CALI ~~~~~~~!!!!!!!!!!!1 i honestly just keep not thinking about it cept when i got drunk 2nite but ... i mean ... he's 1 of my big brothers and part of our crew and it cant EVER be the same w/out him and who will give me those biiiiiiiiig hugs that can make me soooooooooooo happpy. omg i cant keep tinking about i t cuz i want to cry and i already did that 2nite

Jamie: "yeah, I thought Mary was gonna be a goodie ....um I mean ... she is?"

"A lot of September birthdays? (counts to self) Oh yeah, the holidays, I guess they have time off ..."

"Oh man, tomorrow's dinner will be worse than this one"

Never invite Jamie to a lunch with your parents and boyfriend :-P haha

And the price of a memory is the memory of the sorrow it brings

"There are so many different ways to be connected to people. There are the people you feel this unspoken connection to, even though there's not even a word for it. There's the people who you've known forever who know you in this way that other people can't because they've seen you change. They've let you change."

Now that we're here its so far away, And I feel like I can face the day, I can forgive and I'm not ashamed to be the person that I am today

Maybe our mistakes are what make our fate. Without them, what would shape our lives? Perhaps if we never veered off course, we wouldn't fall in love, or have babies, or be who we are. After all, seasons change. So do cities. People come into your life and people go. But it's comforting to know the ones you love are always in your heart. And if you're very lucky, a plane ride away. ~ Sex and the City

I could use a fresh beginning too
All of my regrets are nothing new

There was a time when we were fine
And I could tolerate you
I do believe that you should leave
'cos I've grown to hate you
Should I be weak and turn my cheek
'cos I'm scared to fall
But I just don't know you
'cos I'm scared to fall

And you don't know me at all

Oh man, I had the worst dream ever last night. I woke up nearly crying.

In my dream Jamie was going out with someone (not Joel, just someone) and I was single. And somehow I ended up making out with her boyfriend. (WHICH I WOULD NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER DO TO HER ...... EVER just for the record lol) But anyways then everyone hated me and Jamie wouldn't talk to me, she wouldn't even yell at me. She just stopped talking to me. And for some reason no one was mad at the boy, only at me. Even HE was mad at me. And I just couldn't do anything but cry and be all alone. And like, the role of the guy kept being interchanged with Denise. If that makes anysense. And then I heard Jamie's friend Matt's voice in the hallway and didn't want him to come in cuz i knew that he would hate me. And he came in an started kissing my cheeks for some reason and then he spit in my hair and still Jamie wasn't talking to me and i was crying. and it was the worst feeling ever. I woke up so upset.

I just had to post that, it all felt so real. I have never been so happy to wake up in my life.

So, speaking of things that make me want to cry ... Geology final tomorrow :-/ ... oh well nothing I can do buy cram my ass off now. Remind me to go to classes next semester.

Our room is all packed up ... and it is depressing.

Jamie's AIM profile ...
"moments i'll never forget:GoodBYE! Do you know how many boats are in a marina? So you taste wine? Yeah I sniff bras! He's the perfect man, he has sex and he finishes his beer! I'm drunk and I'm in spain and I miss you we don't have a drive thru it's not my fault wisconsonites don't know how to count 1- 2 it's not that hard! no there's a curse on peoria/yea it's called poverty G910 needs a tranquilizer"

BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG ditto to that. Well, to most of it lol.

Wow. I'm going home for the summer. The whooooooooole summer. Boo.

I love random phone calls from Chris.

I'm gonna miss Cali. :(

Ugh, time to study for Geology .. hmm .. or get lunch ...

DELL IS EVIL ...

I AM SCARED THAT MY LAPTOP IS GONE FOREVER ... BUT I HOPE THAT'S NOT TRUE :(

But oh well, life isn't over.

Phantom of the Opera kicks ass, and Jamie is one fucking awesome roommate. So I'll try to not freak out too much.
