8:09 am	And so life goes... Life has been pretty hectic lately. Work has been kicking my ass lately - mostly because of some really long days. And every time I feel like I'm about to get ahead - or just break even hah hah - something goes wrong. A few weeks ago my battery & starter in my car died. Almost $300 later it's running again. Then I went to go to work Monday morning (I had to be in at 6:30 AM yuck) I found that someone really REALLY liked my car stereo. Liked it so much, in fact, that they busted out my driver's side window and stole it. The kicker? My passanger side door was UNLOCKED. Bastards. So now I'm getting my window replaced and seeing what I can do (if anything) to fix what's left of the stereo, and if that can't be fixed (fuckers) then I'll probably have to just put my stock stereo back in. At least I have it to put in... Well that's pretty much what has been going on for me. Work and car disasters. Current Mood: irritated Current Music: Wicked soundtrack (3 Comments |Comment on this)

6:44 pm	I guess I should update this thing As I said last time, I'm alive and I'm fine. In case anyone doesn't know...my life has had some MAJOR changes in the last few months. Well ok one change but it causes a domino effect I guess. I left M back in the middle of October. I am living on my own in a studio apartment in the same area as before. I have a job with a good environmental company and work hard. I love my job and my life has become much better over the last couple months. Some days are easier than others, as would be expected, but my friends and my job get me through the tough days. Not everyone agrees with my decision to leave. It's each individual's choice to agree or not, and I understand that. Some people have been great, others terrible. I've lost friends - people I thought were friends at least. The real ones have been there (when I let them be...damn Aquarius independence trait) and support me whether or not they agree. So yeah that's where I am. Living on my own and loving it.

7:24 pm	Quick update Yes I'm still alive...barely. What's going on? Finals tomorrow through the 18th, graduation the 20th, summer research fellowship June 1-Aug 5. Had a nerve-wracking job interview yesterday for an environmental company. I have no idea how long it will take to find out whether they are going to hire me or not. :-/ I've done everything I can, now all that's left is the terrible waiting. it would be the perfect job. 90-95% in the field (outside). Good benefits. Local. We'll see what happens. Anyway back to studying. (2 Comments |Comment on this)

9:53 pm	Fuck yeah Today rocked. I had my GREs today - talk about a migraine headache. Kicked the test's ass - got a 1330 - and went home to find that the company to whom I sent my resume last week had sent me an email. I now have an interview with them Friday. Kick ass. Not much more to say. Shitload of schoolwork this week again. T-25 days 'til graduation... Current Mood: ecstatic (2 Comments |Comment on this)

11:46 pm	I'm tired of this bullshit. I do the best I fucking can. If you have a problem with the fact that I have things that come first before friends, tough. Fuck off. I don't need this stress in my life. (3 Comments |Comment on this)

12:00 pm	Fantastic weekend This past weekend is one of the best that I've had in a very very VERY long time. I've missed my boys oh soooo much over the past few years...I can't say how great it was to hang out & just do stuff. The weekend started off with a 4 1/2 trip upstate...a trip that usually takes no more than three hours. BUT once I got there, it was all worth it. I had dinner with Apples, Jeremy, Cate, and Sam and just had a blast. Coyote Cafe makes a mean margarita. ;) Playing at Forsythe Park in the middle of the night was nearly as intoxicating as the drink. The night was the perfect temperature, the stars were out and bright, a sliver of a harvest moon overhead...*sigh* it was perfect... And I finally got to meet Cate. She rocks. There are very few females that I actually get along with...and for some strange reason after hanging out for only a few hours, I felt like I had known her for a very long time. Maybe I'm just strange or something...but hey we all knew that already! So Saturday I had my dress fitting. It fit perfectly!! You can tell that I'm a girl! So exciting! So I spent Friday night with my boys and Saturday with my girls. What a perfect weekend! After our dress fittings, we went to the Poughkeepsie Galleria and had lunch at Ruby Tuesdays, then went to Frederick's of Hollywood, Victoria's Secret, and a bunch of other girly stores. What a fun time we had!! ANYWAY I have to run & get lunch before my class this afternoon. ***HUG*** Laters Current Mood: loved (Comment on this)

12:34 pm	Memories... I am in a terrific mood today. There's no real special reason that most people consider a reason - I was just thinking about the summer of 99... That was the best summer of my life. I really don't think another can surpass it. I was surrounded by beauty and some of the best friends I've ever had. I was talking to one of my friends here at Stony Brook about that summer and my circle of friends - and it gave me goose bumps just to think about it. Does that ever happen to you? Just thinking about the times I had that summer just makes me soooo happy. Things were so different then. Not in a bad way. The way things are now is just fantastic - but the way things were that summer were just as good...but in a different way. I even fondly think of Strawberry Shortcake - even though she gave me plenty of problems. Red Light Green Light with Apples & Jeremy...stargazing at the flagpole...chasing elementals...just everything. Every single memory makes me shiver with happiness. I haven't thought about it in so long... Do you guys remember the night I nearly had a nervous breakdown after my grandfather ended up in the hospital? I probably would have fallen to pieces without my guys. Such a difficult time...but I was surrounded in a light of comfort, concern, and love. Nothing can compare to the experiences I had with my circle that summer. I still think about you guys so much. I know it probably doesn't seem like it, but hardly a day goes by that I don't think of you and miss you. Those truly were the best days of my life... Thanks for giving them to me. Big hugs for all of you! (3 Comments |Comment on this)

12:11 pm	The War in Iraq... Hmmm...we are at war again. No, I'm not jumping on the bandwagon of all the people talking and bitching about the war...I'm just avoiding calculus homework at the moment. I keep thinking about whatever black premonition all of you were having back in January and February and the conversations we had...and one thing keeps coming back to me that I really haven't given much thought to. There's no real black or white...just shades of gray. A friend of mine and I were just talking about our opinions on the war, and the thing that I said - I never expected it to come out of my mouth - is that everyone has their opinion, and none of them are completely right or completely wrong...there's a little of each in every opinion...hmmmm...
