Since everyone in my family's birthdays are in January (minus me and my dad), I decided to type them up to see just HOW many there are.

Jan 1- my now deceased Aunt Janice
Jan 6- my cousins Austin and Kendall- they'll be 17
Jan 10- my cousin Vicki
Jan 12- my sister Janet
Jan 13- my mom
Jan 16- my brother Troy
Jan 17- Troy's wife Jen
Jan 28- my now deceased Uncle Charlie
Jan 29- my Aunt Susan

Haha and that's only the family I know.....who knows, maybe there's more.
Not much else going on.....I'm crazy, I'm actually working 3 nights in a row. 2 I was supposed to work anyway so I just asked if I could go in early. I hate it, but I need the money desperately, as I have a school payment coming out of my account 1/5/05, and with my dad not working.....well, let's just say it's not fun.
Can't wait til New Year's....still not 100% sure what I'm doing, but more than likely I'll end up hanging out with Jesse. Call me though, as nothing's definite yet....
<3

You've got to be sh*tting me.

2004-12-28T00:43:57Z

So I've had my stupid car 2 1/2 yrs and I never had a flat tire until last week.....well, today I went to Best Buy and on the way some guy was pointing at my car, so I was like great I probably have another flat....so I pulled over and looked at it, but it looked okay, so I just went on. The car was making funny noises, but it didn't shake like when I got my flat last time. So I go in Best Buy and bought 2 DVDs: Orange County and She's All That, all for $21. Sweeeet. So when I get outside, I saw my tire was definitely flat. Just great. I was going to go to a gas station, but traffic was insanely backed up, so I just pulled across the street and called my dad....I finally got ahold of him after calling about 20 times. He came up, took my tire off, and I misunderstood what he wanted....I accidentally moved the car when I wasn't supposed to. lol. So finally finally my dad fixed it and we came home. Apparently my rims weren't cleaned when they put my snow tires on, and that's what possibly caused THIS flat. If I get another one anytime soon, I am positively going to FREAK OUT. Triple A time....
Ahh working tomorrow....a lot this week.....32 hrs.....but need money badly.
<3

Why do I do this to myself?

2004-12-23T06:12:49Z

Ughh, first I'm falling asleep at my computer, but I guess I psyched myself up a bit too much, cuz now I'm wide awake AND hot.
So technically today is Christmas "Eve Eve"....scary. I love Christmas, but now I'm actually a little sad, since it's almost over. Plus side, Taylor's going to be 18. Now THAT is a scary thought. When did she grow up? Or her brother or sister, for that matter? Seems like only yesterday I was 18 myself.
Today, hung out with Jesse for awhile, we watched a movie and just relaxed. He met my parents, my mom really liked him, it was cute. He's cute himself, I love his eyes. Hopefully he'll come over on Christmas to hang, that would be fun. Just relaxed the rest of the day, I worked on my picture collage for my dad for X-mas.....I can't wait for him to see it.
Hmm....a little sleepy after all....maybe I'll go to bed soon.
<3

The ditz in me.

2004-12-22T06:16:51Z

Mini update here, not too much going on.....finished all my X-mas shopping and just working on making a few gifts. Not having a boyfriend is GREAT in that way.
Work this weekend totally sucked....I had to work 6-12 Fri, 3-12 Sat and 9-6 Sun and it wasn't even very busy, which made me want to fall asleep at my feet. Monday as we all know we got snow, and I had to follow my dad to Lunenburg MA so he could drop off his company truck....we took all back roads, they were terrible, as where we were got way more snow, at least 3-4 in. The Sentra did better than Dad's truck though. I've been there before so I like to THINK I could find it myself, but I'm not sure, there's a lot of turns and practically no landmarks. We witnessed an accident in Shirley MA with a red Cavalier and a beige Sentra exactly like mine. My dad was like these cops are idiots, they'll be out for 2 hrs doing nothing. lol. So we dropped off the truck, and of course my dad wanted to drive on the way back, because he "knew where we were going". lol good excuse. He was nice enough to put gas in it. Oh yeah, hilarious- at work on Sunday I had a customer from Harvard, MA, which apparently isn't too far from Lunenburg. I say hey Dad where is that? He's like oh it's a good half hour. So we're on route 2A in Shirley (next to Lunenburg) and I say Dad, doesn't that sign say HARVARD? He's like oh, geuss it's closer than I thought. So my dad's fiddling around with the heater and puts on the rear defroster....which I didn't KNOW was the rear defroster. I've had the car almost 3 yrs and I didn't know??? lol. So we go home, I relaxed the rest of the day, then Brittany came over later than night so we could exchange gifts....I gave her the Abercrombie sweatshirt and she got me a Victoria's Secret perfume set which came with a cute purse. Sooo cute, I loved it. She liked the sweatshirt too, she said she was thinking of buying it and they didn't have her size! Anyways after that we just went to Filenes for lack of anything better to do, I think they all thought we were idiots. Ohh well.
Finished wrapping most of my gifts today, except for a few stuffed animals for the younger kids. Then I worked 6-12...major fun.
Ahh just dumped a big secret to a certain guy off my chest....I feel about 10 lbs lighter!
<3

My life as a sitcom.

2004-12-16T05:34:29Z

Stupid realization: Jesse has a Mitsubishi Eclipse, and Phil has a Toyota Celica. Both cars are what I would loooove. Hmmm....lol....
Monday night I hung out with Jesse for a bit....he is such a sweetheart, and he's so cute. My friends who know him all say he's the better looking twin and that he's nice too....lol. Good to know. He showed me his 4 tattoos and of course his tongue ring. We watched a movie and just talked forever, about everything. He's so easy to talk to, it's nice to feel like a guy's actually listening for a change. He actually said I was beautiful. Aww. Talk about making me blush. Hopefully we'll hang out again soon.
So yesterday, I had to go over to school to get some money issue worked out.....I was on my way out when my tire went flat....luckily I managed to pull over into the bank. I had to get a tow since I didn't have a spare.....major fun. They filled it up for me, but it turned out to be a slow leak, so I had to get it fixed today. At least they didn't charge me anything for it. My buddy Tim came over later that night, he has a new truck, a '98 Mazda something. Somehow we got to talking about Anette's son Kyle, since they worked together at BK....Tim told me he ran into him not too long ago and that he had said I was hot. Haha...that's too much.
To make matters worse, I had to go over to school today to turn in my final evaluation/drugs and alcohol paper (which I'm not even sure was good), and I realized when I was on Bridge Street, I's forgotten the evaluation. So I had to go back and get it. (I took my mom's car.) So I drop off everything and realize- I FORGOT TO DO MY AGENCY REPORT. UGHHHH!!! So I rushed home and typed in frantically and emailed it. Again, not sure if it was good, but it worked. All I hope is I get a C or better in each class. Pray pray. Scary enough, my teacher called and said I have to get an "intend to graduate" form.....scary thought. I'll miss all my friends.
Later- got my car fixed, checked out the cars up for sale. There was a really nice '95 Toyota Camry and a '96 Acura Integra (more my style). Roy said it would be good for me. Haha. If only we had $4900 to spare. Anyways, worked tonight 6-11 for extra hours, it was sooo crazy! They had me in jewelry almost the whole time. I bought my friends from school a few small gifts, I hope they like them. On the plus side, I won a Mickey Mouse when I got a credit! Yay! I couldn't believe it. I got one for Pamela for her b-day too. Oh yeah speaking of b-days, Brittany's is soon....the 21st....my mom told me she saw her today in Filenes when she presumably bought the necklace I had an eye on. (I tried to buy it myself, but my card was maxed out.) Hopefully they told her the right one to buy. Ironically, I saw one of my hs teachers tonight.....yesterday I saw ANOTHER one, and when I told her tonight, she said that the other teacher had said I looked beautiful. lol craaazy.
Ahh....sleeepy.....nutrition exam tomorrow.....don't want to take it, really wish I didn't have to.
<3

Nashua highlights.

2004-12-13T15:52:06Z

So last night, Brittany stopped by and we were really bored....we went to wal-mart where I bought the Jesse McCartney CD, and we spent like an hour just looking at CDs. She bought couple of hip-hop ones, then we just drove around for a bit out of sheer boredom.....finally we stopped at CVS on Main Street, and when we were leaving, this drunk-sounding guy came up to us and asked for directions on how to get to 95 south. Creeeepy. So yes.....driving....major fun. We went down Lake Street and around that area too, hadn't been down that way in awhile.....Amherst Street.....yeeeah.
Nothing at all going on today.....probably I'll just leave early, it's my last day and I'm sure they have nothing for me to do. Anyways, I have to do some more research for my drugs and alcohol paper. I brought in cookies and a card to show my thanks :-)
<3

A weekend in the next place from hell.

2004-12-12T21:38:54Z

Well, I unfortunately had to go to my aunt Janice's wake and funeral this weekend. The wake was interesting, there were so many people there that hadn't seen me in years and didn't even recognize me. A couple even thought I was my cousin Tommy's g/f, lol. Speaking of which, he's now out of jail and looks amazing, he hasn't smoked or drank since he's on parole. Hard to believe he's the same guy. I felt so bad for Taylor and her family, the same day they found that her grandfather passed away :-( He was a nice man. It was nice seeing my family though, even under those circumstances. The funeral, ughh, I had to wake up at 6 am, we headed back down to Dolan's in North Chelmsford, MA, where the wake was held, then we went across the street to the church for the funeral. Ironically, on the way we got caught behind a train. It was a beautiful service, Tommy made this really sweet speech about his mother which brought me to tears. I kept thinking during the whole ceremony about when I'd gone to Tim's father's funeral, and it made me cry. After that we went to the cemetary for the burial, and I came home and slept for a bit. Later on that night I hung out with Adam for a bit, we just relaxed for a bit. Nothing going on so far today, my cousins Donna, Dakotalee and Tommy stopped by unexpectedly....they're leaving soon though. I may hang with Brittany later, which will be fun.
<3

Takin good with the bad.

2004-12-10T05:53:58Z

These days I hate MOST everyone of the male persusaion. MEN SUCK. I had to call Tim not long ago b/c he has one of my tapes, and for some reason it was just a game of fighting phone tag. I hate feeling like we're on bad terms, and yet whenever we talk, I feel like everything is HIS fault, even though I know it's not true. That sounds so bad, but you know what I mean. I know I love him. I just can't be with him, we fight all the time, and over nothing. It's sad though.
Then there's Phil.....ughhh.....so we agreed to do our own thing, whatever, but Tuesday in class he kept smiling at me, and after class...well, let's just say I felt like he actually cared about me for about a second. I hate him. And yet I like him. His smile drives me crazy. But I guess it's not going to work right now.
So I said most guys suck.....not Jesse though, we hung out the other day. He is sooo sweet, and he's cute. So mature for his age too, 19. We just watched Old School. Funny movie. He's so nice, I feel like I can tell him anything. He hasn't tried anything on me, but I know he likes me....I can tell by the way he smiles at me. Sigh. Who knows? I'm not ready for a b/f right now, but sooner or later, for sure. It would be nice to have a NICE guy for a change.
Not too much else is going on, classes are almost done, I'm so praying I get at least a C in each one. I think I will, but you never know. Meagan and I found out today that since we registered for classes late, we got bumped into a Friday class, since they had to open a second section. I was mad at first, but then I remembered Thursday won't be such an incredibly long day now, and I'll still have Monday free to do my fieldwork. On the minus side, it means I have yet ANOTHER early morning class (9-11:50 am), but, small price to pay. Oh yeah, I think Phil might also be in my philosophy class too.....that could be bad, depending, but I'm not going to let someone stop me from what I want to take.
Oh yeah....in other news.....my Aunt Janice passed away, she had lung cancer. I wasn't very close to her, but it's still sad of course. The wake's tomorrow and the funeral Sat.....other than that, I am totally off this weekend, which will be sweet. So call me!
<3

WTF.....this is Tim's cat

2004-12-09T02:58:23Z

You are a Maine Coon! You are larger than life, a
gentle giant. You are independent, but very
affectionate with your friends and family.

What breed of cat are you?

Ain't that funny!

2004-12-05T06:00:40Z

Blah....SO glad it's technically Sunday and the weekend is almost over. I'm so sick of working, it's always so slow when I do, and they keep screwing me over hour-wise. I thought I was working til 12 Thurs, but it was 11, which was great, but then today I thought I'd be working 3-12 and it turned out to be 11 again. Screwed out of an hour of pay. Oh well though.
So last night, me, Pamela, Carl, and Meagan went to the palace.....talk about a fun and INTERESTING time!! So I headed over Pamela's, we thought we'd be able to drop off Tiara at her godparents, who live right on the Methuen/Lawrence line, on the way, but it turned out, no, they wanted her over earlier. So we had to drive all the way down there, get food for Tiara since she hadn't eaten, drop her off, then head back to Nashua to hook up with Meagan and Carl. So we got ready, stopped by Marshalls so Pamela could look for something to wear, and then finally headed down. We weren't EXACTLY sure how to get there, I thought we were supposed to take 95 North, but Katie, Tiara's godmother, thought it was south, so we went that way for awhile. Nothing looked familiar, so we pulled into some hotel and got directions....we headed north and took the right exit onto rte 1, but if you've ever been down that way you know that it's basically a 2-lane highway with exits every 2 seconds, and we had no idea which one to take. We had to ask directions 2 more times and turn around about 10 times, and risk nearly getting killed. Not fun! But we FINALLY found it, and got in and had a GREAT time. Well, me and Pamela did, I don't think Meagan and Carl did, which was too bad, I knew it wasn't Meagan's thing but I guess Carl was just shy about dancing. So we danced to some hip hop for a bit, I think I danced with about 6 different guys. I couldn't believe it! Major fun. Most of them were Spanish, a lot of the guys in the place were. Pamela dared me to go up on a table and dance so I did.....I think people liked the half-naked girls better, but Meg and Pamela said they saw guys look at me too. lol. We went in the Spanish reggae bar too, I swear it was empty but filled up as soon as we went in! That music was okay, but too loud and I couldn't understand a word of it. Too bad we (well, Meg and I) couldn't go see the male stippers! Haha j/k. So we went back in the hip hop part and danced some more, I danced with this cute guy for quite a bit and we exchanged #s later.....I'm not even kidding when I say his name is.....Phil. WHAT ARE THE ODDS OF THAT. To top it off, he said he lives near Topsfield, MA, which isn't too far from where the OTHER Phil lives. He called me on the way home and asked me if I wanted to go out again this coming weekend.....maybe, but I'll probably be tired since I have a long week coming up, so I may just relax. I think he said he's my age, which I figured since he wasn't sporting the ever-popular bracelet. Another Spanish guy asked me for my #, I lied and said I had a b/f. lol. Carl and Pamela had quite a few, especially Pamela, she was definitely feeling good! She was so cute. Wish I could have, but either way, no drinking and driving for me. Oh yes, another funny highlight of the night was Pamela had no pockets, so she stuck her $ and stuff in my back pocket and kept reaching in to get it the whole night.....at one point some guy was staring at me and I think he thought we were doing something else! I'm guessing that also when we checked our coats, her ticket must have fallen out of my pocket, so we had to wait a few for her to get hers. Haha. Now we gotta take Taylor out when she turns 18! I didn't get home til 3:15 am, but woke up at 9:30.....I don't know why, but I can never sleep late when I come home really late. Not good as I haven't gotten much sleep lately. One downside to the whole thing is I think we went the long way.....we took route 3 south to 95 north, it probably would've been faster to meet at my house and hop on 93 south to 95 north there. At least we know for next time! My legs were a bit sore today....ohh well. I worked til 11, I apparently reached my credit limit as I had to keep making payments to buy a few things. I WOULD have bought more had my limit permitted it, but I know it's better that way. Oh well, at least it's just b/c I'm now almost done my shopping. For another laugh, tonight at work I saw Mary Oswald, my little-knowing about math teacher from 1st semester, she was really nice to me. I wanted to tell her I retook math over the summer and passed it, but didn't want to be rude. (I passed it with a C, but I passed, right?) Funny though!
Ahhh hopefully I'll get some sleep tonight.....working 1-10 technically today and at some point I still have to do my business packet for Monday....no fun.
<3

My memory is failing!

2004-12-03T17:19:16Z

I can't believe that next week is last week of classes......wow. So much to do, but I think I can manage it all.
My mom and I put up our X-mas stuff up Tuesday.....the tree looks great. Taylor slept over that night, I showed her my fieldwork place and I swear EVERY bad driver was out, not to mention some stupid idiot who ran out in front of me....I had to slam the brakes. So at the mall, who do we run into but Josh....ughh that kid is so annoying. He gave her a big hug and barely even looked at me, guess he thinks she'd be stupid enough to fall for his b.s. We had fun shopping, I bought my parents a much-needed answering machine for X-mas. So yeah...you can leave messages for me now! (After X-mas anyway.) Like you can't call my cell...After that we went to Friendly's....again. No Michael Jackson this time lol. Wednesday was dull, but yesterday was quite interesting. I did my powerpoint presentation, I went last so by the time I went I had to rush since other people were using the electronic classroom. Fun fun. Studied for a bit after that, Dan and another guy sat down with me, Sarah Albini, and Angelica....I thought the guy looked familiar. Then Dan started asking me where I lived and it turns out it was Jesse that was with him, the guy I hung out with 2 summers ago. Couldn't believe it! It was great seeing him. I swear I'm losing my mind as I ALWAYS remember everyone and everything, but Jesse I couldn't right off the bat, though he remembered me. WHAT the hell? Anyway, we traded sns and #s and talked for a bit, seems he now has another car with a radio, and not too much has changed. I redid my registration after that and turned it in, I'm taking fieldwork 3, family supports, group counseling, history of multiculturalism, and my elective I'm looking forward to, intro to philosophy. I was going to take Spanish but decided I don't think I can deal with another language at 8 am.....too bad the philosophy one is too, but most of the electives are offered in the morning anyway. Schedule-wise, it'll be easy- no classes Mon or Fri. Minus side- classes will be tough and Thursday is STILL my even longer day now.
Anyways, later on talked to Phil.....I like him a lot, but we both agreed he's too busy for me right now and things aren't really going anywhere. We'll see what happens. DAMN.....no luck lately in love!
So it gets more funny.....at the mall I run into my old pal Christine, I'll definitely give her a ring one of these days.....I've known her since like 8th grade. And at work, I saw Claudia, who I actually met Jesse through. Haha. What are the odds we'd work together? It was definitely an old friend day, for sure!
Ahh....here til 5 then we're all going down to the palace I think for Pamela's b-day.....that should be fun. Too bad I have to work tomorrow 3-12, but at least I won't be in early. Oh yeah, bought Brittany's b-day/X-mas gift....sweatshirt from A&F. Hope she likes it, but I got a gift receipt if not. So now all I have left are Meagan, Angelica and Pamela.....they'll be easy anyhow.
<3

The Christmas season has officially begun!

2004-11-29T04:49:43Z

A convo with my dad:
Me: I should get a standard car, I should learn anyway, they're cheaper since the automatic is the luxury model.
Dad: Yeah. And we'd also have to SELL it for cheaper. You don't learn in one day, it takes years, blah blah blah......
My dad, the eternal pessimist.
lol.
Hopefully everyone had a nice Thanksgiving, this year's was the best one I'd had in awhile. For starters, we lost power in the morning as my mom was finishing the potatoes, evidently it had something to do with the box on the power line, 25 houses are hooked onto it and with everyone using their ovens.....they said it was lucky it didn't catch fire. So a little while later, we headed down to my cousin Donna's in Lowell. For dinner, it was me, my parents, Donna, Dakotalee, Joey, and Donna's father and his g/f. Definitely a different kinda crowd, but it was fun. Funny enough, I noticed this picture of Dakota and some girl in her room, and I was like who is this? She's like my sister! I'd forgotten about Amy, who technically is her half-sister at the ripe old age of 28 or so! lol. And we all know how FANTASTIC the weather was, we had the windows open. For dessert, Taylor and her family showed up, and so did my cousin Vicki and her family, who I haven't seen in about 100 years. Hard to believe Ryan is 18 and driving, and Nicole is 13, and when the heck did Julia grow up??? Time flies. We all just hung out and relaxed for awhile, it was really fun. I drove my mom home after that since she'd had a few.
Friday- SHOPPING DAY! I hung out with Pamela and Tiara for awhile, we went to Building 19, I got some stuffed animals for the kids and a couple other odds and ends for the holidays, then we went to Chili's for lunch. After that I helped her set up her new rug. It was a lot of fun. Worked later 6-12, blah. Next day worked 8-5, it was soooo dead, and even worse today when I worked 12-9. After work Sat Brit and I hung out with the guys, we went to Nashua House for pizza, then bowling at Leda Lanes, then ice cream at Friendly's, since her b/f had a major craving. Typical Nashua time. The ice cream was great, but the pizza was way too greasy for my taste. I made up some joke about if Chris's car brakes send him over a cliff, he'll be in trouble.....for some reason none of us could stop laughing. Oh yeah, Chris is cute, but I think we'll just be friends. At Friendly's we saw the Michael Jackson freaky guy.....he was talking to himself. lol.
Ahh class tomorrow at 10....glad to be back to a "normal schedule". Hard to believe it's almost December. Glad I'm almost done X-mas shopping too!
<3

I'm gettin some sleep tonight!

2004-11-23T16:32:57Z

Hmm. Maybe my life is more exciting than I realize....
I'm at BBBS bored as usual....can't wait for winter break. Hopefully my next internship I'll actually have stuff to do.
I came up with a great idea for an X-Mas gift to make my friends yesterday....already started on Angelica's.....I won't post it just in case someone starts snooping around. lol. I was counting back the years a few days ago and I realized I haven't not had a guy on Christmas since 1997. Wow huh? I decided this year, Christmas is all about my friends and family. :-)
Gotta *continue* doing my stupid nutrition thing once I'm outta here today....at least I have some better idea of how to do it. Hopefully Phil can help me fill in the rest. At least after today it'll be done with.
Yesterday was kinda a dull day, didn't do much of anything except I went to Newbury's to buy a couple CDs. Later on that night though, Brittany and Derek stopped by, we all hung out for awhile, then went to meet Chris at his work. We ended up going to eat at Uno's and we were practically the only people there. It was fun. I discovered Chris is actually 7 months younger than me, his b-day is 10/18. He's short too- like 5'6. Haha. It's all good. He graduated in 2002, and my luck he probably knows the guys I hung out with in that class, not that it matters really. Evidently he's also an only child- what's with me meeting those guys these days? I had a great time hanging with them, it reminded me how bored I really was with Tim. After dinner I drove Brittany home so her parents wouldn't see Derek drop her off. lol. When I finally got home it was 12:30, and I didn't even end up going to bed until 1:30-2:00ish, and I had to get up at 7:30. Ouch. So I'm basically half asleep today.
Sleepy....can't wait to leave....

I'm not Jessica!!

2004-11-22T03:04:14Z

So worked all Friday and Saturday....people suck. Not to mention there were WAY too many of us on, and it was sooo dull. The highlight of the weekend was when this girl I used to work with, Polina, came in and asked me if I was married yet. I was confused and told her no. Then she asked if my b/f was in the service, then it hit me: she was talking about Jess, the OTHER girl we worked with!! (She is married now too.) She must have thought I was her. Thing is, everyone always confused us for some reason. Customers always said we looked alike, and they would be like were you the one I talked to yesterday? Oh it must have been that other girl, meaning Jess. Weird huh?
After work Saturday, Brittany and Derek came over with their friend Chris, we all hung out and played pool. That was fun. I'd forgotten Chris was actually there when I met Eric. Silly me. Derek loved the dog, he was so cute playing with him. Not to mention my cat kept sniffing Chris's jacket....hahaha. Anyways, I totally SUCK at pool, but get this, I actually didn't get one ball in until the 8-ball.....I hit it in the wrong pocket!!! Tooo funny. We watched the Ring after that, or part of it anyway. It was fun hanging out.
Did absolutely NOTHING today, although Tim stopped by later to give my dad money for the Honda and we ended up talking for awhile. It was good talking. I noticed he's even starting to look older, and that's scary. I can't believe he's 24. I feel like such a kid compared to him. It was sad too, he really does want to just settle down, and I know I'm not ready.
Nothing much else going on.....class til 12 tomorrow, then may hang with Brittany. Always fun.
<3

Beautiful day!

2004-11-19T17:34:46Z

It's sooo nice outside.....glad I'll be outta here in less than an hour (yep I'm doing my fieldwork, fun fun).
Yesterday was just such a funny day....classes went on as usual, and OF COURSE in nutrition our teacher gave us all this stuff about Thanksgiving and the dangers....it was good info, but considering she hates all of us, talk about a way to ruin a holiday. So I head off to work and in the mall I run into Jay, this kid who's friends with Tim (not my ex). They both sorta liked me back when they were in 9th grade and I was in 11th. He's too young for my taste really, but he's nice enough. We exchanged #s. So I go off to work, and when I go up to the bathroom I run into Brittany with Derek, that kid Eric I dated 2 summers ago for like a week, and this really cute guy Chris.....lol. Funny stuff.
So today's been okay so far.....did some online training, rearranged the pictures on the hallway walls. But the major highlight was seeing this ugly car with cracked windows- AND a violation sticker ON it- get towed!!! Hahaha. Jenn and Emilie say it's one of the Spanish people living in the apartments and that the car's been here for 2 weeks or something. Glad it's gone then, and even more glad they didn't give me another one! I think the only reason they did was b/c I was 2 inches over the VISIONS spot. Woo hoo, WHAT A HORROR.
Working tonight 6-12....tomorrow 11-8.....yay! (Not really.)
<3

Old friends.

2004-11-18T04:29:39Z

So since I'm working 6-12 Fri, I decided to split up my internship hours this week....I worked 9-1 the other day. I usually park in the visitor's spot, since BBBS only has 4 employee spots, and no one ever does anything. Well, I come out the other day and see a violation sticker on my car. Greeeat. I thought it was hilarious. Angelica told me they gave her one once for parking in the landlord's spot. lol gotta love Nashua! Speaking of Angelica, she's back living at her parents' place, in the apartment....I'm happy :-)
School's interesting these days.....in my professional writing class, we have to research 3 job websites and make a powerpoint presentation.....reminds me of multimedia 1 and 2 at Alvirne where Ms. Lavery hated me. Apparently she liked Angelica though. One of the websites for NH job offers had 2 listings for Amesbury MA....weeeird. I asked Phil if he wanted to be a telemarketer. Haha. And in drugs and alcohol we're watching a movie about a dad who does ecstasy and goes to raves, and so does his son. It's really interesting, but not for the weak-hearted. lol.
My buddy Tim came over the other night.....it was so much fun seeing him. He's gotten over his so-called shyness in a number of ways, it's very cute. It's great hanging out with my guy friends again. I haven't really hung out with him since that day at the beach this summer. I can't even believe he's 19 now....where does time go?? When we met I was 16. Today was blah, we were all so not in the mood to be in class, it was great. The teacher asked each and every one of us what was up. After class, I hung out with Phil for a bit before work....lol he stole my parking spot when I left. He kept telling me how "hot" I was and that I couldn't go to work "looking like that". lol. He's so funny. Meagan told me he was even more outspoken in their college success strategies class last year, and he told me he came in drunk/stoned all the time....ughhh. Only him.
lol....I'm just in a funny mood....
<3

It's NOT fair.

2004-11-15T16:04:08Z

I can't believe I have to work til 12 Friday and til 8 Saturday.....grrr and it WOULD be my days off. I have Sunday off, but that's nothing. I wouldn't be so mad except I didn't get to hang with Phil Fri....he said there was too much snow where he was and didn't feel comfortable with me driving. That was sweet, but I won't have another Friday off for almost 3 weeks now. Oh well. I need money BAD anyway.
I called Adam for the first time in forever Thurs....we hung out, got lunch at Uno's and caught up. He said he's glad I'm back to my "old self". I am too, even though it's tough at times, "rebuilding" my life. But I also know nothing else has been more worth it. And if Tim and I are meant to be, it'll happen on its own. We ended up hanging Friday too, we just watched a movie and relaxed. Fun fun. He saw a picture of Tim and said that he looks just like Gary! lol. In fact, he called him Gary's mini-me. I always sort of thought so too, but I doubt Tim would want to know that....
Worked Sat and Sun....nothing too exciting there. Gotta remember to leave earlier as the Christmas season is now upon us. Can't believe Thanksgiving is a week and a half away either....so excited! :-)
<3

I love the guys with the Celicas!

2004-11-11T01:28:35Z

So since Tim and I have been over, I've had so much time for me....I really feel like I know myself a lot more, as corny as that may sound. I feel a lot like my "old self", the one I haven't known probably since summer 2002!! Long time!! Anyways, this is what I have realized:

-Tim is 24, and a wonderful guy, but he wants to settle down and have a family, all that. I'm a college student who's a hopeless romantic. I love the idea of being in love, and I've always wanted to get married young and all that. But now that I'm in school, and single, I'm even more determined to get a degree and work and have money of my own before I do all of that. I never could fathom being with one person when I was younger, and a small part still can't. I want to, but it has to be the right person. And right now at least, I don't think Tim is.

Enough serious stuff. Not too much is going on right now, I've done a little Christmas shopping and bought myself another pair of jeans. I drove my mom's car to school the other day so she could take mine for an oil change- I guess my dad was like well if you're in such a generous mood, why don't you pick up her (my) windshield wipers too??? lol. Phil came over last Thurs, we watched a movie and played some pool. He stopped by today too, I gave him one of my senior pics. He's a lot of fun to be around and very cute as well. Definitely has some interesting stories to tell. I STILL can't believe I didn't remember who he was right off the bat, I really am dumb sometimes. But either way, he's a lot of fun to be around, and fun is something I need right now. We're talking about chillin Friday night, that'll be fun. At least he doesn't have to tow anyone til 10, so we have the evening.
A laugh and a half here....well, Chrissy S has a friend named Dan, whom I've gotten to know a little bit. He's one of those guys who will just be silly the minute you meet him. I thought he had just graduated high school, but we talked yesterday, and get this....evidently, he's also 20, and his b-day is 8-10-84....aka me and Tim's anniversary AND Chrissy's brother Dave (who was also friends with Tim)'s b-day. What are the odds?? To top that off, he ALSO drives a Toyota Celica, a '92, also a stick. lol he offered to teach me to drive it and to BUY it for $1500. Too bad it has 200K on it. The funny thing is, it's a teal color exactly like Jessica's Celica.....I miss her. Anyway, he told me he had a vanity plate on it, then I realized I was right behind him on the way out today....I honked and he flashed his backup lights....major fun lol.
So yes.....life is interesting.....
<3

Not fully awake yet.

2004-11-01T14:26:08Z

New month, new beginning.....anyway.
Halloween was awesome! I hung out with Pamela and Tiara yesterday, we went shopping, she was hoping to find this Rocawear jacket in her size but no such luck. We chilled at my house for awhile later, then went to Pamela's grandmother's so we could get Tiara's costume (she was Tinkerbell, sooo cute!), and then we went back to my house to meet up with my family so we could all go trick or treating. Donna and Dakotalee were Southern belles, very cute, Joey was a northern soldier, and Trevor was a knight. Me, Pamela, Tiara, Dakota, Donna, Joey, Trevor, and Aunt Susan all went out around my neighborhood. Tiara was the most cute by far, she didn't fully get the whole Halloween concept, but she tried. Trevor held her hand. Pamela must have yelled not to run and to say trick or treat and thank you about 100 times! lol. Too bad Dakota wasn't feeling so well, and Tiara was tired anyhow. Lots of fun. Nothing much went on after that, gave Tim his b-day gift (a Timberland sweatshirt and a $25 Best Buy gift card). I'm scared to start all over again, I admit it, but I have a feeling this time it'll all work out.
Let me see if I can remember past Halloween nights....

2003- chilled with Tim
2002- same thing
2001- hung out with Brandy, Jen, and that kid Brian- we watched TV and plated Girl Talk. Tons of fun
2000- nothing, sat at home
1999- Gary (my ex), Adam, Joey and I went trick or treating in Gary's aunt's neighborhood, basically so Gary could piss off one of her neighbors
1998- trick or treated w/ this kid Brad and some of his neighbors
1997- trick or treated with my friend Rachel

Don't remember much beyond that. I hung out with Phil this past Sat, we watched Just Married on DVD. Funny shit- we thought his cousin was sleeping in his car parked in front of his house, so Phil blasted the truck horn, but it turned out, his cousin was out back the entire time and we didn't even know it. Haha. He also had to go help someone change some huge tire, and I kept smelling the sea breeze, it was like 60 degrees out too, which was sweet, considering the night before that it was like 40 and I was freezing my ass off. Hopefully he'll come in here soon and show me how to do my nutrition thing....I have no clue.
Don't feel like doing hw or going to class today....
<3

A new life....

2004-10-30T21:33:17Z

So Tim and I haven't been getting along so well, he's been working a lot, and I haven't had much free time either, so we're taking time apart. It's a bummer, but we'll see what happens. So yeah.....CALL ME.
Another interesting part of my life right now is Phil....we've talked a bit. Get this- that time he hit on me last year WASN'T the first time he saw me, he says he noticed me since like the first week of school!!! What?? He really is sweet and very smart, even if that side doesn't show up so much in class! Haha. I like hanging out with him, nothing serious right now, just someone to hang with. He's an only child like me, and he was in the army too, as a military cop. I saw a pic of him in his uniform, very cute. He said it was 4 am and he wasn't really awake. lol. He's got a g/f in North Carolina, and since I'm not after anything serious right now, it works. Last night I went down to his house in Amesbury MA, he met me after class, I followed him down (93 to 213 to 495). He was so cute, he called me while we were driving to make sure he wasn't going too fast. We had dinner with his family, they're nice, his dad was really friendly. Phil looks exactly like him. Then we got the tow truck, since he does that for work sometimes. We ended up at some friend of his's place where they were all smoking. Ughhh. Whatever. They had a cute little dog, some terrier mix. It was fun being in the truck actually, you get a great view of the road! lol. He promised to teach me how to drive a stick too (he's got a '93 Toyota Celica). Amesbury is such a cute little place. Very confusing though, since it winds around. Luckily where Phil lives is easy to get to. After that we just watched that movie Bringing Down the House....kinda dumb. Oh yeah, we watched it on VHS, evidently when some video store closed his dad bought all the videos. lol. He followed me out to the highway when I left to make sure I didn't get stopped by the cops. I asked him why would I, evidently b/c they have 64 cops, they don't know my car, and they would probably ask me something dumb like we thought your plates expired??? Anyway. He made me call him when I got home too, to make sure I got there safe :-)
Oh yeah, Thursday was the diamond banquet at work, it was soo much fun. I met them there, at the Wyndham in Andover MA. Such a freakin long drive from Nashua! I asked Phil which way should I go, route 3 or 93 (I took 93), he said you're f-ed either way. lol. I danced to almost every song, I wish I'd brought my camera since everyone was taking pics. Rath had them take one of us, very cute. Me, Chrissie, Jess and Michelle I swear all tied for dancing the most. It was funny seeing other stores there, we saw Lisa, our old HR manager. The Boston store had Red Sox flags, and Salem, they were all dressed like witches. It was great seeing everyone. When they played the YMCA song, they made us do a cheer for the Red Sox! Haha. Lots of fun.
Not too much going on today, my mom and I went to lunch at Applebees, my little cousin Dakotalee is here right now, she's spending the night and I'm taking her trick or treating tomorrow. My brother Troy came over earlier with Jen and Cora, whom I hadn't even met. She's 3 and soooo cute!! She looks so much like them! I love her :-) Hopefully Brittany will call and we can do something.....if not maybe I'll take out Dakota.
Happy Halloween one day early everyone!
<3

I remember everything.....yet not THAT

2004-10-22T15:57:18Z

Well, I'm a writer and a human services student, which is partly why I notice EVERY LITTLE THING (next year's inspection stickers are green everyone, WOO HOO!) and why my friends always call and ask me when stuff is due, since I always remember whatever. Yet, it took me ALL this time to remember who someone was.....
So last year, right before winter break at school, I was hanging out in the caf, waiting for my next class, and a guy who introduced himself as Phil came up and said hi. I say hi, we talk for a bit, and he asks me what I was doing over the break. I told him I was with Tim, and he backed off. Never thought much of it after that.
So this semester, I have my fun nutrition class (right Sarah???) and here he is, in the class with me. But I didn't even remember he was the SAME guy until the other morning (in the shower ironically!!), I was thinking of that time, and remembering.....and I was like oh god, that's HIM. The reason why I was so sure was, not too long ago, Phil asked if I was still with my b/f, and I was confused as to how he knew, since I didn't remember telling him, yet I thought he looked so familiar and I didn't know why, since I know we didn't go to school together or anything like that. I was like whatever, maybe he's thinking of someone else.....so, it drove me nuts all day!! I had to confront him, so I did, right before class. Turns out, it WAS him, he said I was "very pretty" and asked if I wanted to do something sometime!! Haha. He seemed nice enough, until later, I told Sarah, and she told me some very interesting facts about him- guess he's only after one thing (not that it really matters, since I've got Tim anyway, but I thought he was funny), which would make sense, considering he's writing a paper on being obsessed with sex???? Please!!! Oh yeah, and he also gets drunk at school, and he already told me he had smoked something funny at lunch. lol. Just too funny. A good laugh for the day.
Not much else going on, working, interning, and school, all that fun stuff. Glad to not be working today.

NEW BED TIME!!

2004-10-13T01:02:24Z

Finally got a new bed after 8 looong years!! Full size, sooo much better than my old crappy twin bed. I love it.
My buddy Pete came down for a visit this weekend, we hung out with Tim for a little while, then Dakota came home with my mom, then Donna and Joey showed up so they could all go to my aunt's house, and then Austin came.....bet Pete didn't know there'd be a family reunion that day! Haha. So anyways after that, he and I went to Bernie and Phyl's and Bob's so he could look at a new bed for himself (note: Bernie & Phyl's layaway plan SUCKS, so don't ever ask them to hold anything). After that, just came back to my house and relaxed, reminiscing about old times, and he reread this really stupid story he wrote about us as kids....just a funny day all around. Tim and I ordered food from T-bones after that and just played PS2.
Sunday- went to a cookout up north in Campton NH, or one of those towns, at Tim's aunt and uncle's, off exit 28 off 93, so it was like an hour and a 1/2 away. I swear EVERY bad driver was on the road that day, I felt like we were going to die a million times. It was fun, but soooo cold! Hardly any sun at all, which didn't help. Tim's cousin and uncle wandered off in the woods for a bit, we were afraid they were lost and were about to go look for them, then they came out of nowhere. Funny. I went in the hot tub with Tim's mom and Serge, damn I want one of those. Their cat Tigger was sooo cute, I wanted to take him home with me. He looked kinda like my cat. He kept trying to escape outside. I loved their house too, it was neat. No cell phone service up there though. In fact, when the guys were gone, we were trying to call them b/c eveidently if they got up high enough, they MIGHT have gotten service.
Not much else going on....bored now....tired....have a midterm tomorrow, don't want to take it.
