5:05 pm	I'm really trying on the updating thing. Spring break was awesome, went out to California for the first week, then spent the last week at home, running around on old stomping grounds. Didn't get back to Brearley, but these things happen when you're super busy all the freaking time. Classes are um...well. I'm working on it, slightly uninspiring, but with any luck I'll be taking Russian 101 next year and that will be so damn cool I don't even know what to do. I'd actually work at it because it'd be pretty damn cool. And I'm not a fan of this weather at all. Catching up with work this weekend and doing fun stuffs (hopefully).

2:20 pm	SO much stuff! So this is the last week before my spring break starts (which consists of two glorious weeks, with the chance of losing some dignity but hopefully not too much) and I'm currently writing an english paper which I plan on finishing quite soon then I'm going to tackle my religion midterm (a takehome for the whole week! woot!) and then on Thursday I have my euro midterm. For some reason I'm associating the word doom with this midterm, and I'm not sure why but I'd like to think that this sort of doom is the good kind. You know, the kind that Gir sings while buzzing down to earth with Zim. And singing it for some hideous amount of time. And now I'm procrastinating about this paper. Unacceptable! I go back to work now, and then more work! I always feel happier when I'm productive. Yay! Current Mood: working (Comment on this)

8:20 pm	Hello! I'm back. Briefly. All is going well, it's snowed so much recently! I enjoy the arbo in the snow. Shque. Sorry, the breath strips in my toothpaste...drugged me or something. So I don't think I possess the ability to write. I wonder if I can post images. Let me try. Hello T-Bone! Hello Cordelia! How goes it? Apparently the picture thing isn't happening. Later.

4:08 pm	B-Day + 3 I'm 19 now! I had a fun birthday, spent it with my friends and we watched all of the Jason Bourne movies with pizza, ice cream and a surprise birthday cake! Which was very tasty, indeed. All is well in the world of ConnColl here, besides the fact that it is ridiculously cold today and there is so much wind! I had to go to the art center for my art class today (which is cool, I'm using power tools!) and no matter how you go, you're walking in a wind tunnel and it's SO FREAKING cold! But enjoyable once I got there. Since it seems that T-Bone is returning to livejournal, I will try my best to do the same. There are squeaks emanating from the chimney. Curious. (Comment on this)

2:08 pm	I exist! Hello, I feel slightly bad for not updating recently. I'm back at college after a long break between semesters. All is going well, classes are quite enjoyable and it isn't an easy amount of work, but some of it is more enjoyable. This semester I'm in a religion class, history, english and art. Not much more I could ask for. Except if we didn't have to see "The Magic of Méliès". That was for history and it was a bit crazy. Going out soon then off to spend hours in the art studio. Literally.

9:27 pm	Holy Crap! I've ignored you. Wooo - so I haven't updated in just about forever. Literally. I'm sorry Cordelia, I will try to be better about this, well I don't know if you still read your friends page but with any luck you do! Just a few nights ago I was reading through my journal and picking out the hilarious bits and reading them out to my buddies back at Conn and I was like, "You fool, why aren't you updating more?" So I thought that since I home, and I am procrastinating, that I should update. Yay Thanksgiving. And food. Yay for food! School has been well, things are going well, I'm doing this for a record sort of thing so I can realize what I've been doing while I haven't been updating my journal. So...I have a roommate! And she's awesome, I hope she's having a good time wherever she is right now. And then there's my pseudo-roommate Lisa, and she should be happily baking somewhere with any luck. Just did a lot of facebooking, hopefully people will write me back, I always feel loved when that happens and I'm being a terrible author, I really need to get back to writing my essay but I just don't find it super inspiring right now. Unfortunately. Perhaps I will write this paragraph then take a shower, that sounds like a plan. Holy crap! I just realize that I don't have the quotes from my old cellphone, this is bad. GAH! (heheh, I just found another reason to procrastinate) Current Mood: mischievous (1 Comment |Comment on this)

12:32 pm	college stuff I suppose it's Saturday - and definitely wrote starday and I think it should be left like that. Let me tell you, friday nights/really saturday mornings are something special. I did two hours of euro last night and I'm going to do some comp politics and stats today, then get ahead for freshman seminar etc. I really should get on that, but lisa made me tea and now I'm happily in the common room. I'm also exhausted, so this tea better damn well be stock full of caffeine. I also don't really have that much to say but I'm really enjoying myself.

7:42 am	You know, I knew that getting up so early was exactly so wrong because I wasn't really going to take a shower because I'm just like that. GodDAMN I want to go back to bed, I slept so well last night! So well! Besides that odd soreness in my elbow that was there a few minutes ago and now is gone. Maybe I'll content myself by making some coffee. Yum. Coffee. Current Mood: aggravated (Comment on this)

8:04 am	Heyla! Tonight marks my first full week I've been at college and besides the weird throat thing that I've gotten which perhaps could be an allergic reaction so some sort of pollen here, it's been fanfreakingtastic. Damn straight. Last night with maybe...15 people, we played Apples to Apples and in the end I think I won with five green cards, some of the funnier ones being: Feminists - Tame, The Internet - Earthy and a few others, twas quite fun. Then we were going to hook up liz's comp to the tv to watch beauty and the beast but it didn't work out, so we watched my disc of Shark Week instead. (: Today is New London 101, which will be exciting I believe. We're heading off to the beach and I lack beach attire, so I'm working the halter top and skirt, which should be enough in my opinion. And again, last night, got this unbearable charliehorse in my right calf and it hurts now but then I was just doing all I could not to bite straight through my lip. GodDAMN those hurt. I should stretch more. But life is overall quite well, I finished up my stats homework due monday last night and this morning after breakfast I'm going to tackle some euro reading that's due tuesday. Alright, I'll be back with a better update, but there are things to do! Current Mood: awake (1 Comment |Comment on this)

12:23 am	So I liked that I went to bed around 10 after 10, feeling a little down, pretty stupid and just not happy. I also had a splitting headache which I think was due to dehydration! Eeep! Then around...ten thirty I believe it was, just as I was closing my eyes there's banging on my door and I leap out of bed, kinda stumble, pull on my jeans and I open the door and mike and chris are standing outside and they're like: "Were you sleeping?" Me: "maybe." him: "Great! There's a dance party in the common room! Go! C'mon!" Me: "...Let me get some clothes on." *slams the door* So now, about some good time later, and a great dance party where I showed off my moves (and who knows I could dance like that, but hey, I can. So after a shower (because there was a lovely sheen of sweat all over me), I will now go to sleep. Current Mood: cheerful (Comment on this)

9:20 am	Hey! Look where I am! In college! That's right. It's so very cool and I'm having a fantastic time, even though I feel like it's a million degrees out here, it's very awesome. Due to a fluke in the system, I'm in a single right now although chances are that if I don't get a roommate now, I'll get one second semester. But really? This is just peachy with me, doesn't bother me in the least. My room is set up very nicely and everything works just swell although my desk is a like a HUB of electric things. I swear, if you looked on a zoomed in version of ConnColl at night when you see only where electricity activity, my dorm room would be aglow beyond comparison. Lot's of awesome people here, although I have to admit, I'm pretty scared to go to breakfast. I could go upstairs and find some people to go with me but I could also just go and suck it up. Merrf. I slept quite well last night, woke up a few times, turned off one of the fans, went back to sleep, woke up around 6:30 then again about five minutes before my alarm was due to go off - weird how that works, isn't it? Gonna get dressed then see what's going on, breakfast doesn't open for another five minutes. WHEEE! COLLEGE! Current Mood: accomplished (1 Comment |Comment on this)

12:04 am	and a few days to go... ...to college! Don't know what to do about that. I've been all over the place for container things, coffee makers, and just a whole lot of stuff. Serious organization tomorrow. Just not right now, am I still in a sort of denial? Can't quite tell. Nantucket was good and well, enjoyable. I made a set of boxes, a chair and a whole lot of food. Lots of good things happened, lot's of funny things happened. Along with the few odd things. And this is odd and sort of out of topic but really, deception is a terrible thing and the person you end up hurting is the person you wanted to fool and hopefully, if you have any sort of moral center, you end up hurting too. But just...I don't know, don't do it! It isn't nice, it isn't polite and if the person who was deceived figures it out, well they're not going to like you when you show your face. And on that note, another thing that's odd is the sick satisfaction that people get when there's some sort of argument, and they hold out to the point of the other person giving in first and asking for a truce of sorts. It's weird and I'm not sure I like it unless it really applies to the situation (and I feel that there are a few select ones where it's kinda ok). And friendship truces. If it's over something trivial, that's great. Go ahead, make up and you're all alright. No feelings hurt, right? Over something serious, well, I still haven't figured that out. If you goddamned believe in what you said that started the whole tense situation you won't apologize for it, right? Why would you? If you believe you're right, even after you've reviewed the facts over and over again and it is your thought and not someone else's influence, then why should you apologize for it? You apologize for possibly hurting the person's feelings or whatnot, but it makes sense not to apologize for what you think is right. Right? And back to the truces, if something did crop up in the middle of a friendship, how do you know that it isn't just some freak accident and it isn't what is supposed to happen. By that I mean maybe it was fated, predestined. Whatever the hell you want to call it, but what if you're both better off for what happened? Even if it was nasty and cruel? Isn't the truce then just both people not believing that maybe they just aren't right being together as friends? Give out the blame and take some. And somehow it always feels that you've taken much more then your share. More like it's been forcibly shoved on you. And how should I feel when I look back on the last eight months of my schooling and realize that it was never what I thought it was going to be, granted I had no idea what it should be like, but to have hoped for something so hard and then nothing happens...well, it's like the rug was pulled out from under you and after all this time, you've finally fallen smack down onto the floor. But I think it's just been that I moved on, and any mess left behind is just there. It's never going to vanish because that's physically impossible, but you can do a damn good job ignoring it. Time for some sleep. Current Mood: sad (1 Comment |Comment on this)

10:23 pm	Apparently my photos aren't working. Sorry people. (Comment on this)
9:57 pm	Haven't updated in forever, I know! Sorry! I'm going to try to put up a picture in this one, haven't done it forever though. It's been good, we're leaving this Friday then next Friday I will be at college! When we walked into town tonight, this guy went by on a bike and shouted: "Watch out! Drunk driver!" and swerved himself onto the sidewalk. Some pictures: So cute! And this other, one, it's a little dark but it's pretty cute. There is a guy, resting, probably waiting for the fast ferry and his dog didn't want to sit on the ground! And more to come soon! Current Mood: happy (Comment on this)

10:32 am	Adding up the injuries... Working out today, hoohaa, and I start my first set of squats and BAM! something goes seriously wrong with my lower back and I tried stretching it out but it feels like multiple pinched nerves in my bitsy bottom of my spine. GODDAMN this hurts. But I took me some Aleve, which I might be running out of at this rate. And so this injury is added to: Bloody fourth toes from my heels I wore to see dad Cutting my foot in the street in front of the Met Ripping up my pinky toe yesterday And all of these revolve around foot injuries - huh. Oh yeah, and tripping all over the place. I swear, my clutziness is gonna get me some day. Sweet mercy-loving God. Grant me some relief, will ya? OH YEAH. And I'm SICK! Current Mood: owwie.

1:37 pm	Sweet mercy-loving mother of God To just mess it up a bit, I was walking around my rooms without my glasses (which is just stupid, I should've learned not to do that ages ago) and I smacked my left foot into the supposedly dull corner of my dresser. Lies. So after brushing out my wet hair, cutting my nails, filing them, I slip on my glasses, look down and there's drops of blood all over the floor. My left pinky toe has been kinda ripped open and there's blood. A lot of it. Kinda all over the place. So I wiped it up and put a small band-aid on it, of course my foot is kinda wet from the shower so the bandaid ends up falling off. Goddamn. Kinda looks like...well, looks plain disgusting. And, let's remember that somehow, I've gotten a sore throat and it makes me a bit cranky but we went to the beach this morning instead of working out. It was lovely, I happily read for a bit with my new book, which is great and I love it. And I did a bit of tanning which is nice because when I do that I just stretch out and I just find this oblivion foggy space and it becomes this blank spot in my memory, just the smell of the ocean, the heat of the sun and all the noise that goes with that. It's fabulous, I love it. I'm acquiring quite the tan, I'd say. That and I really enjoy just wearing my bikini in the sun, and, for a change, it's one of the only place I feel fine just letting my hair down. It's grown out quite a bit, I think I'll keep that up, it's nice. Good song, catchy. Anyway, going into town today to get some stuff done. Current Mood: mischievous (Comment on this)

Yeah, that's right, today it's all about me and what I want to do. So shove it. But I am wearing a dress today. Wait. Maybe not. We'll see. Current Mood: bitchy (Comment on this)

11:22 pm	Apart... ...from the blinding headache I had throughout the majority of the movie, I thoroughly enjoyed Transformers. And so did Xy, which was nice because I wasn't sure if I was being a bitch by dragging her to it. And tomorrow I will go back to Victoria's Secret, whether there is AC or no, I will buy something. Alone. Capable. Willing. Damn straight. I wonder now if it was the movie that gave me such a terrible headache, like everything hurt, I would've been happy to have my eyes roll straight back and pass out for the duration of the movie if I hadn't wanted to see it so damn much. Afterwards, I dragged Xy into a CVS, bought the travel pack of aleve and downed a fourth of it. I feel slightly better, it's now just a mildly mind-bending headache that makes me feel like never getting out of bed again. Today I learned that the windows on the sides of the Met you can step up into make perfect cover from freak rain showers that soak everything. That is if the rain isn't slanted into the window - it wasn't, though. I was wearing my low-cut red halter top and I think it's now my favourite shirt, I enjoy it a lot. My right food will need to be wrapped tomorrow, most definitely. Bed time now. Current Mood: tired (Comment on this)

11:52 am	Home sweet home Got in at LGA around quarter of 11, so now I'm home, happily making plans to see people this week, which is great, this is exactly what I wanted, so I'm really very happy with all these FABULOUS developments. Looks like I need to make a few shopping trips, but nothing monumental. Which is a good thing. Nantucket is great, don't get me wrong but it's just perfect to be home again, nothing feels as good as being in NYC for me. And to be seeing friends every day? I mean, what gets better then that? Not too damn much if you ask me. But our fridge here is in a sad state. There is a devastated jar of peanut butter, a bottle of Corona light, a bottle of Stella, four cans of DC, the usual mustard, mayo and all that other crap I don't eat. There is cereal and the other things but damn, it's a problem. We flew over the Statue of Liberty today and I realized, with quite a bite of sadness, that's the closest I've ever gotten to it. Dad was shocked and now seems set to remedy this. We also passed the Intrepid docked in Brooklyn, I recognized it because I'm obsessed and it makes me kinda sad every time I realize I just can't get up and go there whenever I please because it's still be worked on. Rude. Starbucks! SHQUEE! Current Mood: cheerful (2 Comments |Comment on this)
