| So I had a midterm today, and I kicked the shit out of it, but that's not really relevant.
I had all intentions of going home to vote, but as I meandered out of Radio at 8:50 this morning, I grew apathetic, and I talked to my dad for about a half hour. I went to the lab, checked my email, printed out my paper, and looked at away messages.
Every single one had some 'vote this' 'bush that' 'kerry 4eva'...and then I was like, well fuck that, I'll show them.
I thought of lying to people and saying I had done an absentee ballot, but I thought that would increase the bad karma that was already building quickly.
So, I called my dad again, and he said, it's too late, you have class, and I don't want you flying home in your car.
So now I felt guilty. Incredibly guilty. I tried to rationalize, saying how my grandfather would have voted Republican, and he wasn't voting this election, so I wouldn't out of respect. Lame, I know.
My dad sent me sad IM's, like, 'You don't want your brother to get drafted, do you :('. My heart strings were tugged.
So, I came back here, and I went on MoveOn and got the info for a phone party in Lambertville in which they call registered democrats in Florida and Ohio and encourage them to vote.
I just didn't understand the absentee ballot.
I just want to clear my election conscious.
As long as Kerry wins NJ, and hopefully the election, I'll feel fine.
If not, I have granted Matt permission to punch me. | comments: Leave a comment   |

| I haven't had too much to say as of late.
I have a single, in off campus apartments. I miss Marisa like I'd miss a limb, but other then that I love it.
I've decorated, I have learned to be by myself, I cook for myself, I'm a grown up. My mom thinks it's the halfway house between college and grown up ville. I tend to agree.
Yes. So I'm really happy. It's fall out now, that's fun. I feel settled in, and I love it.
I"m telepathic. Ask Matt's wallet about it.
The band fucking rules, expect shows soon.
What else?
Nothing.
I have jobs, friends, a stove, and <3.
Best. Year. Ever. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| Dearest LJ,
So.
Tomorrow is the last time I'll 'leave for the year'. Fucking crazy, is what it is. It's scurrrrrrry.
I have big time nervous stomach.
I have my own kitchen...I love this fact. I'll feel like a grown up.
I look forward to the next few days just chillaxin' at school whilst doing random radio shit.
This summer was crazy. Good, but crazy. Figures that it got interesting yesterday, but I suppose everything happens for a reason.
I know I sound a little melancholy, but I think it's just nervousness and stress. I know once I get there and settled I'll be so happy.
The mothers Lawrence and Seftel will meet tomorrow. And then the earth will implode as it has taken 2 and a half years for this to happen.
Honestly, I can't wait to get this year started, but at the same time I know once it does that it's going to be a giant snowball until GRADUATION. Fucking crazy...but I plan to make the most of the year ahead of me.
And I second Matt in the 'let's drink' sentiment. It's still August. :D
I have to organize a bit more and vaccum.
Cheers to the semester of <3 and :D.
I've got a good feeling...
XOXO

Swim team is going...swimmingly. We have a bunch of new little people, and they're for the most part adorable, so that is good. It's early yet, but before I know it the season will be over. I want to go somewhere in August...hmmm...
What else...we have 5 songs! Our band is really really good. It's so good because I play now, and my 18 years of playing is paying off. Maybe I shouldn't have switched from being a music major? We're going to record, and then play shows. The Rat(tatorium), Carnegie Hall?
Good lord, this season of Real World is the pits.
What else...
Matt called from It'ly. He's in the Alps, connecting with his ancestors, speaking Italian, leaning in Pisa...le sigh. :D | | comments: Leave a comment |

I went to Tortola, it was fucking fantastic, as was to be expected.
Matt works in the city on Wednesday and Thursday. He stays here during the week. Makes me happy.
We have a band...oh lord, do we have a band. We're really good, and we don't sound like anything you've heard before. World domination? I think so. (I'm not really kidding.)
Matt's birthday is tomorrow. I got him a good things. He's 21 now, that should be fun. We're going to a bar tonight, and we will festivate all weekend. I'm looking forward to a reunion with the boys.
I miss my girls.
Holy god, I am so late. But i'm still updating, look at that.
Last note: this woman from the oil company just called, and i couldn't hear here so i was like, hello? she goes, oh i thought you were a little kid. I said no. She asked when the oil people should come. I told her my mom usually handles that. She said, "oh, so you are a little boy."
...
The end.
I love you.

I don't know about you but i'm fucking psyched. I want to be barefoot a lot there. I'm not going to comb my hair very often. I'm going to be bad. I'm going to lay out. I'm going to swim. I'm going to bring scrappy clothes. I'm going to bring my camera. Both of 'em. We'll have video of the excursion.
Reading back, that doesn't sound too different from school. Oh well. I can't fucking wait.

I'm a senior in college.
Mother fucker.
I have to get up at 6 tomorrow to go to Hershey Park with my mom's orchestra kids. Yeah.
I have to wear a matching t shirt.
Here's to being 21 and finding my buddy. <3.
Today was sad, but great.
Love school, love my friends, but on the way home I caught a whiff of summer...swamp grass, or something. It smelled promising.
South Carolina next Friday? Anyone? MPK Boys? Oh yeah. That's right. We're fucking going. Gonna be fucking insane.
What else...too much to talk about, not enough to say.
G'night. I love you. We'll talk.

| An update as I continue to plow through my homework I neglected all weekend.
A slice of summer...
Thursday, I found out I got a sub for work on Friday so I bounced out of here and trekked to Toms River for some quality time at la casa de Lawrence.
Thursday: We watched Great Minds. Looking good. Looking real good.
Friday: Surf and Skate Parte 1.
Wonderful.
Maxeen <3
Andrew WK <3 <3
For others, look at Matt's gurnal. Same shit.
We got home, and planned to send Mike for Against Me! paraphanalia on Saturday as we're slackers and couldn't pay for or handle all three days.
Bonded with Keenan over Wawa.
Saturday:
Slept forever.
Went to the mall.
Bought nothing, save a smoothie.
Matt's car is sick.
Loafed.
Saw Kill Bill Vol. 2. I haven't seen the first, but I dug the second big time. We may just leave it at that.
Came home.
Collected our Against Me! goodies. No Warren Iraq. <3
Bonded with Keenan over Wawa.
::Congratulations to Miss Tischler on no more MCAT, and to my ladies of lots of celebratory imbibing <3 ::
Sunday:
Up early.
Packed up the car.
Surf and Skate: Parte Due.
Wonderful, yet again.
Cave In. <3
Bouncing Souls. <3 <3 Matt has worked hard, but I would call myself a fan. They sang the songs I know and love. Matt danced. We smiled. We all <3ed. A lot.
Truly the perfect end to the weekend.
Came back to Trenton.
Ate with Patty Patster.
Am doing/avoiding homework.
To list what I have left to do this semester may result in bad things, so I'll just take it day by day.
The taste of summer that was this weekend has left me super fucking antsy for the real thing.
South Carolina with 100 dollars in my pocket,
Paradise with the fam,
swim team a go go...
and lots and lots of beach, beer, music and <3.
Everythings coming up :D.
Back to work.

| A real update. For shure. Let's seee....
A really really great week. Like, just great. Went quick, was productive, sort of. Talked about post graudation adventures with Matt. He's gonna go to grad school and I'm going to go too. We're going to see the world. :D All the misunderstandings from last week were patched up and I think our band of misfits is closer then ever. Jon got his pictures on CD from Florida, they're on my computer in my room, and they make me long for the 2nd week in January. I'll post some/all of them later on, they're fucking beautiful. We're all happy. We're all friends with each other. I love my friends.
Last night Risa Cyn and I went to see Eternal Sunshine. Holy jeeze. Just fucking beautiful. There was a 'real' sense about it, it felt honest, despite all of the artsy camera work and different story. Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet were fucking incredible, I don't know. I felt changed. Happier. I don't know...it was really fucking great. Like, wow.
What else. It's fucking beautiful outside, like sooooooooooooooo nice. I love it. Short pants and slippy black shoes 4eva. This weekend is going to be magnificent. Today, the gym, shopping maybe, lots of movies, perhaps Ladykillers and Jersey Girl tonight, then who knows. Tomorrow, work in the morning, some homework maybe?, then we're going to parrrrrrrrrrrrrtay with some boys i know. :D Sunday, I have a short concert for Spring Day at 11 (come, it'll be 20 minutes, tops) then I either have to shoot my project here or go home and do it, as I haven't spoken with my mother since MONDAY I wouldn't know. We're busy women, or she hates me. I tend to think/hope we're busy. I keed.
This is the most boring entry ever. I don't care. OHHHHHHHHHH that's right, I got a fucking 63 in the lottery. Next year I will live in a beautiful apartment and make food for my friends. OH i can't wait. Seriously. Life fucking rules.
EDIT: How many times can I say 'fucking beautiful' before it loses meaning? I'm hoping more then 3.... <3 | | comments: Leave a comment |

I suppose this just makes me more psyched for the end of the semester, and a strong finish, and then a week in SC perhaps with the boys, and then 2 mother fucking weeks in Tortola.
The sun is out, it's all coming up Katrina.
Yay you, but yay me more. :D
