| major events in my life recently |
[14 Jul 2004|12:16am] |
-i love workshop and all of staff! :) i'm glad to work with such great individuals who really put others before themselves. we've had some rough occurrences so far, but everyone is pulling through for one another. it's taught me to be even more empathetic towards others.
-flash flood two days ago, had to leave adam lloyd moffit (the civic) in the OL lot for fear of stalling out and engine trouble in high waters.
-got to visit the real adam lloyd moffit and friends in annapolis, md on sunday. good times.. thinking.
-semi-quit the life at beale st today. i don't really want to go back, but i can't quit completely. i HATE quitting... anything. even if it doesn't make me completely happy, i feel like i should be able to find the light in ANY situation and just suck it up.
-i got asked out on a date tonight. i think. well, last time i didn't think it was a date and it was. so maybe now if i think it's a date, it won't be? don't know if it's such a good idea. but what the hay? it's summer and i'm so single it's disgusting. ;)

thought i'd update since i never do. (yeah, i'm one of those lj users).... if you want a condensed version just read the very last sentence.
the best weekend of summer so far was memorial day weekend.. more than half of the crew was together.. there was much boozing and laughter and music.
the restaurant has kind of taken over my life, but i love the people there. i've been spending my days off at the beach and making sure to get that workout in. no one bothered to inform me that i'm getting fat again. thanks guys. i'm ready for workshop to take over my life, too.
i'm ready for big things. i wish people didn't have to move in to "more important" things like jobs and such. wouldn't it be awesome if we all quit our jobs and just had our parents pay for everything again? or we could just start bartering when we want things. we'd have a swapping session every other weekend.
speaking of the weekend. eliot and i are trying to put together a dodgeball tournament this weekend. maybe my backyard? maybe some brews? i don't know.. we'll see where this goes. turns out i have to work.. surprise surprise.
so basically, vb kids are rockin my life. i love being home, and for the most part i'm happy. i guess not much has changed... :)

we had a little dinner party at the house tonight. caitlin, jess, and i cooked for some of the boys. it was mad fun. it's decided. i'm becoming a housewife. i had so much fun picking out groceries and cooking and getting everything ready. i'm still gonna finish up college, but as meaghan always says.. i'm just here to get my m.r.s. :)
in other news... life rocks. i'm pretty stoked about everything at this point. there are only a few things lacking, but all the other hardruling stuff makes up for it. love my friends, love my school, love my family. sometimes i get all teary-eyed because i'm so happy. CHEESY.

Emo! You're very in touch with your emotions and

the music for you... I have pity for your
tortured soul...you're just like me...
What genre of rock are you?

haha, what are the odds? i don't want to be labeled emo. boo.

britney- me against the music |
] |
went to cocoa beach and ocala, fl. tons of fun. stayed in vb last night. friends from school and friends from home. it was a gooooood time. i have some of the coolest kids as my friends.
i think my favorite feeling in the entire world is running into old friends that are stoked to see you. there's nothing more uplifting than a gasp, widened eyes, and rush to give you the biggest hug and pick you up in the air.
so school is really starting to feel like home for me... and that's weird. i haven't felt like that before. i think i kind of like it. don't get me wrong-- vb and all it entails always hold the highest place in my heart. but it's good to know that i feel comfortable enough to be here and i don't just feel like i'm visiting some other place for 7/8 months out of the year.
had some good conversation with my daddy today. that man and i are connected like crazy. one night last week i was in a really bad mood and had beer tears flowing like no other. my dad calls the next day (he never calls.. we're in-person kind of people) and asks me if i'm ok because he had two dreams the night before that i was crying. wtf, mate? that's freaky. i love him. he rules so hard.
there's the randomness in my mind right now. wish me luck for the next few months because i couldn't possibly crave summer more.

what a day.. totally rethinking life and feeling obsolete.
on a lighter note, i've thought recently about certain things that people wouldn't normally know about a person. so here are a list of things about me that you would never know unless you asked (or if you just tune into stuff really well):
-i think vera bradley, louis vitton, and coach bags are hideous and i have no idea why they're a fashion trend. (ps. excuse the spellings of any of those)
-i can't walk down stairs, i always want to run down them
-i have to make my bed everyday
-i go through packs of gum faster than anyone
-hooters is my favorite restaurant when it comes to going out in groups
-i don't like very cloudy days, but i love clouds
-i'm close to OCD about washing my hands
-chances are, if i see you and i say hey, but you don't hear me.. i keep saying "hey ____" but not even in a loud voice so you hear it. for some reason that's entertaining to me
-getting voicemails are one of my favorite things ever. i don't get too many these days, so the ones i do get make me really stoked
-i like to say things like sweet, stoked, bra, bro hymn, and rad.. but i don't because i'm afraid people might joke me
that's all that comes to mind. more will come later i think.
rock.

ten min2dwn twn (12:30:27 AM): girl... why cant you get a boy that you like and that likes you back and doesnt have any weird strings attached
damn straight. we'll see if this ever happens.
besides that kind of bs, i'm so happy right now. this semester has gotten off to a great start. i feel so refreshed. one thing that's weird is that i feel as laidback as i was when i first started college. it's a good thing because i feel like i became more of a girl after a year at college, and now i'm back to normal.... but i think i'm too laid back for the rest of the world. i mean, i've never let myself get way stressed out (yeah, i usually complain about dumb shit just to make conversation).
lately i'm having trouble understanding why certain things are stressing people out. it's not that i don't have empathy, it's like i just DON'T GET why and how people can get so bent out of shape. i just take things as they come... you just have to do what you're supposed to. i don't know.. maybe it's just not that simple for others. but it's perfect for me. i'll just go on believing that everything will work out. i can't predict a situation. there's no reason to stress about it before it comes.. and if something doesn't work out your way, don't be retroactive. change it for the future, or just accept that sometimes things will not always be perfect. ok, i'm rambling.
rock. out.

santaaaa- i know him!! (a Christmas mix by Brandonnnn) |
] |
so i'm finally reading heartbreaking work.. after owning it for 2 years. this is the first time i've felt compelled to keep a book in my hands. i just want to read it over and over. my sister laughs at me because i'm underlining parts in it that i like. i guess that makes me a true nerd.
brandon bought me "you shall know our velocity!" i'm stoked on reading it as soon as i'm done with hwosg.
today when i was at the mall i had a strange sort of elevation. all these thoughts were just streaming through my head. eggers style. they just kept going and i couldn't stop them. i felt like i had some sort of social anxiety problem, which is weird because out of the people i know, i'm the one who loves socializing the most. but i don't know, i kept worrying about running into people that i know. what would i say after all this time? these days it's hard for me to strike up new conversations. i find myself getting upset if tehre is any short moment of silence-- like it's allll my fault if people aren't having a good time. i don't know what to do about this. i think it's a result of william and mary.. for various reasons.
i told this kid tonight that he has to come to my school. "we NEED cool kids like you to come!" then i counteracted with "well, i mean.. there ARE already cool people... but more would be AWESOME!"
i'm such a geek. who am i to say who's cool and not? and side note, i love w&m these days.
ps. hanging out with old friends/acquaintances reminded me of some things. enlightment over break... yeah...
and another ps. i'm throwing away my cell phone. it's too costly to make these risky late night calls. i'm losing my dignity. i feel bad.

the things i want for Christmas don't come in packages, but i guess they're still too much to ask. i'm sure santa is just taking his time on these.. they're not fit for an overnight delivery.
merry Christmas! today has just begun and being with my family is already tons of fun. can't wait for the rest of the day's events. :)

what if i just didn't care? what if i just stopped? i mean, numbers and letters don't define who you are or how much you know. let's be honest... i've always thought that until now.
this school has turned me into the biggest nerd ever. my brain hurts. i think it's gone. if you find it, please return to:
Tridelt house, Richmond Rd
Room 301
Williamsburg, VA
Thanks.
18th- i will be home then. i can't wait.
let's hope winter break isn't going to be full of disappointments. i feel like it's never going to live up to last year's. it seems like everyone's starting to drift apart. i was told it would be like this. sophomore year. i hate it and it scares me. so promise me you'll remember how it was last year and the year before. things don't have to change if you don't let them. remember that.
hearts out.

-my phone doesn't stop ringing.. it's weird. i forget it has the capability to ring at school sometimes.
-spontaneity and different choices every night.
-walking into a room of 20 people while every single one yells my name.. stoked!
-the recliner at roscoe's
-random picture in a frame of old fun times at long ago parties
-coming home at 4 am only to wake up and drive out to 81st to see the sunrise.
-the fact that two of my favorite people would sit in 40 degree windy weather on the sand to watch the sunrise. yeah pneumonia.
-having a bunch of people over that have never met, who probably wouldn't meet any other way, and all of them getting along.
-watching people laugh. watching people hug/high five after not seeing each other for a while. watching people love their friendships. genuine friendships.
-cool hs kids saying they want to come to william and mary. the school needs you. ;)
i can't wait until winter break. more fun times 6032987601.

i've been in way too good of a mood to be true. things have been mad busy, but i'm getting through it all. i hope i can keep my social life and grades up at the same time.. it's worked so far, but i'm starting to lack motivation.
i've realized lately that one day can change the course of everything. it's so strange.
it's really nice to get compliments when they're completely unsolicited. i think people are way too nice to me sometimes.
