August 26 -
You're Texas!
You aren't really much of your own person, but everyone around
you wishes you'd go away, so you might as well be independent. You're
sort of loud-mouthed and abrasive, but you do have a fair amount of power. You
like big trucks, big cattle, and big oil rigs. And sometimes you really
smell. But it's not all bad, you're big enough to have some soft spots
somewhere in all that redneck madness.

Aww I smell and everyone wishes I'd go away. That makes me sad. Anyway, went through a bunch of my stuff today, was glad to see that I fit into (mysterious I don't know where they came from) jeans that I've never been able to fit into before and kept just to see if I'd ever fit into them. Threw out Tiffer. I didn't want to just because I don't like throwing stuff out, but my mom made me. She was like, he's a jerk anyway, why would you keep it? But I still have the stuffed animals that Nick (used trash guy) gave me. Even though I don't like stuffed animals. I don't know. Maybe to remind me to not date jerks? Home is nice so fucking boring.
August 25 - I so totally have a phone =))) And I so totally bought three dresses and three skirts and a hat and fishnets today. So now I have a total of 6 dresses. And I used to hate dresses. And like, 398239724809092 skirts. And I used to not like skirts. *gasp* Am I turning into a girl? Nah, I'm still not a big fan of shoes. Or purses. OWWW my blister hurts. It's all open and bandaids don't stay on and ow.
Oh man. Watching blind date and it's on old couple! She's 80 and he's 91. And it just made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Great things about them:
- the guy was still doing chin ups.
- they went to a store and the guy tried on a dress - old people not afraid to be silly
- she asked him straight out if he likes Viagra, and he started singing VIAAAGRAAAA! YEAAA!
And they just had so much fun with each other, it was great. When I'm that old I want to still be like that, to still be able to find someone attractive, even sexually, even if it's just for their great personality because there's not much looks left. So that'd be nice. And my foot hurts =(
August 24 - Ugh. I'm really upset about this. I know it's mostly my fault and I should've checked the schedule and whatever. And I had to be home today anyway, but that still doesn't change the fact that I'm upset and I really would've loved to see it, especially since it's my last semester here. And now I'm just thinking about it all and this semester is gonna suck. I want to make the most of it and whatever but I never do. I feel like I have no friends and I'm gonna end up not doing half the things I want to do because I'll have no one to do them with. I dunno, ignore me, I get like this once in a while. But yea, really not happy right now. On the bright side.. We have really yummy tea at home in all kinds of flavors. And my mommy got me striped toe socks with frogs on them! So I was jumping around my house squealing like an idiot. Teehee. And waking up this morning was really nice =)
Went blading today, not even for that long, and I have three blisters on my feet. 2 of which popped while I was blading. Ouchies. But I was proud of myself for going blading alone, and for having some kind of workout 3 days in a row. Go me! I can't wait to go running with Andrew in SI because it's a new place to try running. Because I feel like I can't run as much in Hoboken because it's the same thing over and over again, plus it's hot out now, although maybe that's just all excuses for me sucking, so I'd like to find out by running somewhere with mile markers when it's nice and cool out. Yea.
August 21 - Weekend was great. Wedding was cool. I looked very lovely in the dress. I did, didn't I? Hee hee. This is gonna be my last week alone without a roommate. I'm gonna be sitting around naked enjoying every last naked minute of it. Hee hee. Meow!
August 15 - Camping trip was great. Pictures. It rained a lot. But it was still good. Being on top of the Kaaterskill falls during a thunderstorm and sliding down our asses as it was raining was pretty exciting. I suck for not jumping off that cliff. I did it years ago! I swear! Oh oh, and we saw a bear. A baby bear. No picture because we were driving. And the hike up Hunter mountain was probably the hardest I've ever done. I can't walk for the second day today, I'm soooo sore. Getting up hurts like hell. Stairs kill me. I can walk slowly if I don't bend my legs. Kinda like waddling. But the weekend was great.
August 10 - Whoo! Done with work! This summer passed too fast. Kinda wish I was less busy so I'd have more time to do nothing. But I chose to go to the gym instead. So I guess it's OK. I made a delicious smoothie today. Yay blender. My mosquito bites started oozing. And I didn't even itch them. WTF! So I've been oozing all day. So sexy, I know.
August 5 - Yikes. For a while there I had a feeling that I was doing something wrong. But thinking about it logically, I don't think that I was. So then how come I always feel like crap and think about it constantly? Maybe because I care. And this time I guess I did mess up a little. Although only because I knew what to expect anyway so whether I messed up or did anything right, the results would've been exactly the same. So it still makes no sense to me. I don't know. We'll see what happens, I guess. Confused yet? I want cheese.
August 4 - Assholes.
Ahhh! Snake!! It's a snake!! Oh, and a huge fucking cockroach in my room with wings. Ack.
August 3 - Went to the city for Ted's birthday yesterday. Met his brother and sister. His brothers acts exactly like him. It's freaky. Saw a bum around 20-30 years old with a sign that said "parents killed by ninjas. need money for kung fu lessons. revenge is sweet." We thought it'd be hilarious to have someone dress up as a ninja and go up to him, point at him and say "you're next." We should've given him money.
August 1 - Awesome weekend. Watched both the new and old Willy Wonka. Don't know which one I like better. Johnny Depp is godly in the new one, although the old Willy Wonka is pretty good too. But I hate the new "hip and cool" oompa loompas. The old ones were great. The new ones don't have the same song and their outfits are dumb. But Johnny Depp was great. I love the giggle and just wow.
Things that leave me completely amazed by their awesomeness:
Johnny Depp in Willy Wonka
Harry Potter
Salad Fingers
and there was something else but I don't remember. So yea. I think I ate too much chocolate. *burp*
July 29 - Songs that give me the chills:
Blink182 - Dammit
Brand New - Okay I Believe You But My Tommy Gun Don't
Everything's dandy =)
July 25 - I really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really REALLY really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really want a cat. Yea. Weekend was great. Friday night = Plain White T's and The Academy Is... at knitting factory. Saturday was an awesome lazy day and miniature golf which I suck at. Sunday was beach and poking the kitty. I want a cat. Oh wait, you probably got that already. Didn't find the nude beach, but the normal beach was good too. Yay tan!
July 20 - Gr for not being 21. But we went to the place that used to be Boston Comedy Club, it's called Comedy Village now and it's still 2 for 1 tuesdays and it's still awesome, at least on a weekdays. The show lasted 2 hours last night with 12 comedians. Twas so great. I like pretty skinny white boys being comedians. And I like all comedians saying that me and Julie are cute. Because we are. I almost died last night though. Walking back to the path after the show my foot started hurting, like a bad cramp. I made it to the train, and when I sat down it hurt even more. By the time I got off the train I was limping. By the time I made it up the stairs and out of the path station I could barely walk. Thank god Ted was there to pick me up. He half carried me back to Stevens, and then we got a Stevens cop to drive us to CPA. Owwie. Hurted a lot. Even after 2 advils. Today's better. I feel it but it doesn't hurt. Went to the gym though. I lost 4 pounds this summer. Yay gym. And I can easily run 20 minutes now.
So I wore a dress to work today cuz it's way too friggin hot to wear pants and my legs feel like crying in jeans in the summer and a girl I work with told me I look really good in dresses and skirts and I should never wear jeans. I don't know if that means I look bad in jeans or what, but at least I look good in dresses. And just now I went to Howe to get the key to jacobus and the hot cop who sometimes gives me prolonged glances asked me my name and when I told him and looked at him all confused he said he thought I had a really nice look to me and asked what nationality I was and said he thought I was Italian. Yay hot cop!
July 17 - Came across this extremely interesting article about Timothy Matlack and the Declaration of Independence. This was written by a russian guy. All American websites say he was born in Jersey, not Europe... I want to know the truth about it all and I'm curious to see how many people actually know anything about this.
Weekend was great. Relaxed at home on friday. Siren music festival on saturday. Two bands I liked a lot: Ambulance LTD and The Dears. Got like, 20 free CD's and like, 100 free band stickers, and like, 10 free pins. Spent today at Ed's house. Twas nice. Stupid rain = no beach but it was still fun. And I got to try swordfish. Which is delicious. Although my face hurts. Stupid allergies.
July 15 - Oh man, I'm so brewing my own beer when I grow up and have a house and $. Or at least I'll try it. I feel bad for my husband. I've got all these ideas and things. Although what guy wouldn't want to brew beer at home? Never mind that, my husband will be lucky to have a wife that not only lets him but encourages him to brew beer. Yea.
July 14 - <3 Matchbook Romance. God this summer has been so busy. Every single weekend so far has had something going on, and the next two are filled up also. And so is half of August already. When will I get to go camping and to Canada and to the Poconos again? Ack! But I like it busy. No time to sit around and think =)
Yesterday was super nice. I loved it.
So I'm editing my page and I look up on my browser and see Ads by Google: Hip hop records and CD's and Bling bling Jewelry... Where the hell does google find that on my site?!?
July 13 - Ya know, I don't know why they let repeated sex offenders/child molesters out of jail.. or why they release them on only $15,000 bail. They'll just get out, move to another state, and rape/kill/touch/kidnap more children. People like that should get life sentence or death penalty. And if they're not yet a repeated sex offender, just the fact that they're fucked up in the head enough to touch little kids means they shouldn't be allowed to walk free ever again.
July 12 - Hi! Went to the gym today. Ran 30 mins (3.14 miles) WHOO! And I only started getting tired after 17 mins. So that's definitely an improvement. Been looking for a job. Got 2 calls from 2 recruiting agencies. Both told me to make sure to call them when it comes closer to graduation. One said that they'll put my resume down for part time for fall also and that perhaps we should meet when it comes closer to fall to talk about stuff. So it's nothing great but still nice to know that people might potentially be interested in me. I <3 broccoli. Rosemary's Baby = good movie. I <3 volleyball. I'm gonna make blueberry and apple and strawberry pancakes. I think? Yea.
July 6 - I'm still here! I've been soooo exhausted since sunday, I don't know what's wrong with me. Every step and movement requires lots of effort. But I still made myself go to the gym yesterday and I ran 25 mins (2.7 miles) and now I'm so sore I can't move but I'm proud of myself so yay! And I cooked today and it came out delicious! And now I want a backrub.
June 30 - I had frog legs today. So that's one thing off my list that I tried. Yay. Tastes like chicken. Feels more like fish. They're cool. Been going to the gym. I think I can run more now. Gonna try a half hour next time. My goal is to be able to run the 3.14 mile path that was used for the Pi race before I graduate. Of course everyone else can probably do that without any training or anything, but I suck at running and for some reason it's really hard for me to run even 2 miles, even if it's just on the tread mill. =( Everything else is good. Summer is good. Work doesn't suck as much because we're actually doing stuff now and it's super busy. Not that I like it, but at least I don't feel like banging my head into the wall for 7 hours a day anymore. Been sorta searching for jobs also. Real jobs. E-mailed my resume to a couple of places. We'll see what happens. So not excited about becoming an adult in 6 months or so. =\
June 26 - I'm alive! My computer isn't, but I am. Well it's alive, it just sucks cuz I have to make it all normal again. And it's frustrating. So yea. My whole family told me I'm pale. Need to tan. I want to go to the beach!! And yea, stuff. Been busy, but nothing new is really happening. Gotta start looking for a job, and that's freaking me out. 6 months and I'll never have freedom again? Sucks. Well we'll see.
June 21 - Lets see... Went home for the weekend, got a haircut, got a dress, got a skirt, and I look friggin cute. My mom told me all her students said that I was sooo pretty after I was in her school last week =) What else... Flux Factory is a cool place (go Julie!) and watching a guy run around on stage in a man thong and a clown nose throwing fake bones around is certainly interesting. I haven't been online because my computer was/is being reformatted, and now has a sexy picture of Menas on my desktop because he is the sexiest man alive and I should forget Andrew =) I bought a huge cucumber on sunday, it was so delicious. All crunchy and hard without the squishy seeds inside. Good stuff. Yep, that's about it.
June 17 - Whoa, I just had a chocolate covered coffee bean and it's sooo soo sooo so good. Especially with milk. I'm in heaven.
June 16 - "Yo babe tis peach time"
June 15 - Meh. Crappy day. No, really nice day out actually. Just feeling crappy. Headache and sore throat and runny nose and just not happy overall for some reason. Even though I have no reason to be unhappy. Well, other than the fact that I suck at everything. But meh. I dunno. Need hugs today.
Oh oh! Today at work we were playing with google maps. Click on satellite on the top right. And go places. Rocky mountains and the caribbean and that whole icy area north of Canada are sooo pretty!
June 14 - This is soo cool.

Julie click on the links for once, you'll like this.
Angry robot <-- very amusing.
June 13 - Poconos was good. Nice to relax finally.
I want to try:
Chocolate covered insects/larvae/ants
Cheddar larvae
Bull testicles
Rabbit
Deer
Snake
Frog legs
Barbequed larvae and other edible insects from Thailand
Mmm hmm.
And I'm gonna get me lots of toys. From the science catalog. But still. I haven't wanted anything in years, and I finally saw a few things that made me go WHOA holy shit I want. So I'm gonna get =)
June 8 - Once again, haven't been online. Been super busy. Today's the first day since I moved in that I had time after work, and I went to the gym and now I'm doing laundry so once again, no time for anything. I worked 13 hours yesterday. Craziness.
The average Amish person walks 25,000-30,000 steps a day. The average American walks 5,000 steps a day. I borrowed Kenny's pedometer for all of yesterday, and walked 8,700 steps. Not a lot. But that's OK. I ran for 20 minutes today.
So it looks like I have no roommate. Which means I have to believe in god for the summer. Am I still allowed to eat pork?
June 6 - I'm annoyed. I keep reading about programs to put computers into every classroom, and to give out laptops to poor children in Africa, and how every 7th and 8th grade kid in Maine was given a laptop. Don't the people in charge of all this realize that that only prevents the kids from learning? Don't get me wrong, I know that everyone in developed countries needs to know how to use a computer, and there are should be computer classes to teach the kids all the basic stuff, but there's no need for every classroom to use computers to learn. Computers don't help kids learn, and from personal experience I know that anytime we got to go on a computer to look something up or to learn a new program for a class other than computers, we ended up just playing around and wasting time. And since computers are expensive, there is no need to waste money on them, when getting a new science kit for kids to play with in science class, or more interesting books for english class would teach kids so much more. I don't know how no one realizes that. Maybe it's just easier to stick a computer in every classroom instead of thinking of ways to actually teach the kids something interesting? Of course, better teachers would also help, but that's even more expensive than computers. And computers for kids in Africa, when half the continent doesn't have electricity and access to the internet, and 50% of the population is illiterate is just ridiculous. Get them some condoms, food, and books and teach them how to read first. Or maybe I'm wrong? What do you think?
This liger's beautiful. I heard most of them aren't that healthy though.
I had a horrible dream. I was going to the beach and I get there and I see all these army planes flying over the beach. But I don't think anything of it, because there are scary planes flying over NYC all the time. I see that no one's in the water, and I figure that it's because the water's still cold. So I go in the water, and a bomb lands into the water a couple of miles from the coast, and the water like, spits/pushes me out and I land on the sand. Then we all look up and see a bomb flying through the air and it lands on the beach a couple of miles away from where I was. I saw the whole explosion with the huge fire and debris flying everywhere in my dream. I also felt the heat from the fire. Everyone starts running away from there, then we look up and see another bomb like that falling down right where we were. I was there with my mom and I reached out to grab her hand and the bomb got real close and I woke up. So that was pretty fucking scary. I don't know how people live in places with war. Bah. AND JIMMY JUST FRIGGIN' GRABBED MY NIPPLE. So I hit him. Hard. My hand hurts now. =\
June 3 - Bah, work makes me tired. I could've went out tonight but chose not to, and did nothing instead. I needed that. It's only the third day of work and I overslept by 2 hours today. And I'm already slacking off. Oh well. We played with dry ice today! And I have a whole box of it in my fridge. Wheee. White bubbles and smoke. And styrofoam dissolves in acetone! So that was awesome too, and it looks like walrus snot. Yay. Went to the gym today. Did a lot. Will hurt tomorrow. I weigh less than Ted for the first time ever! But I think it's because he gained weight. I <3 sesame dressing. Saw Dishwalla on wednesday. They were awesome. I have a neon green 'I hear NY' shirt! And more flip flops! =)) That's about it. I haven't even been online really, I've been in the main room the whole time or in their room. Don't miss me too much =)~
Oh, there's a Grey Goose bottle stalking me!! I wake up this morning and there's a Grey Goose bottle with an unidentified green liquid in it right outside my door. So I move it down the hallway away from my door. I come back from work, it's by my door. I move it down the hallway in the other direction and go to the gym. I come back, it's by my door again! Who would do that? And who would fill the bottle with green stuff???
May 31 - Bah, work tomorrow. Bah, spent the last 2 days moving in/unpacking/rearranging stuff. No roommate YET. But I doubt I'm lucky enough for it to stay that way. My arms are soooo sore, probably more sore than they've ever been, from moving the couches yesterday. Like, they hurt if I just sit here and not move. Insane! I like working at Jacobus - gilmore girls and naps.
May 29 - Last night was Adam Sandler night. I want to marry Adam Sandler. I love his smile and his eyes. Mmm. I hate cats. No, I love cats. Stupid allergies. But ahhh they have cute paws. I want one. I need a pet.
May 27 - I went to the gym. And now I have a bubble on my toe. And it hurts. But yay I have the little room in CPA so everything's good. I had hiccups 5 times today. Isn't that CRAZY? There's been a bunch of people I haven't talked to in years who have been checking this lately. Weird.
May 26 - We'll make summer start today. So what will Kate be doing during the summer? Going to see some of these shows. Check out the schedule. I'll be going to Dishwalla on Wednesday, June 1. You're invited to join me =). And Coheeed and Cambria in August, but I'll remind ya'll of that later.
