HaPpY NeW YeAr!!! [01 Jan 2006|02:16pm] finally got a new computer for christmas! well that explains why i havent been on in awhile. lets see, took the girls around wednesday night to the movies, bk drive-thru, and to john's. new years eve was a blast...we went outside at 11:30 and had a snowball fight. me, steph, and jess definitely dominated considering that i hit mandy in the face a couple times...haha sorry mand. talked about the good times we've had in the past year. then made some phone calls to old friends like namico and roman, mandy had a nice chat with claire, and talked to mandys work buddy. i was really really hyper. it was kinda exciting though because i wasnt the first to fall asleep like always. Merry Christmas! Happy New Year! School tomorrow...might not go! (5) left me a comment.

[30 Nov 2005|03:15pm] [ mood | depressed ] [ music | Goodbye Love~RENT ] isnt if funny that when you talk about it with your friends and they say something you dont worry about it but when the same thing comes from one of your parents you cant believe it? yesterday my mom said something and it hit me really hard. i know it hit me because i was crying all night and thats just not like me. basically, it made me realize that i cant live without my friends. im scared to leave high school. im scared to go off to college and not no anyone. im scared to go off into the "real world." i mean when we have sleepovers and we talk about going off to college and you guys are all crying and im just sitting there laughing...i just cant cry in front of you guys. but last night i wish you guys were here because i couldnt stop. thanks for reading. i dont really care if anyone else reads this...its for my four best friends...hopefully, they'll even read it.

goodbye summer of 2005... [29 Aug 2005|07:20pm] [ mood | depressed ] [ music | Goodbye To You~Michelle Branch ] the summer has come and gone...today was the last day of summer before i become an official junior. its sad to think that one day we were singing "build me up buttercup" at pifer's door at midnight and the next im getting ready for school to begin. i have mixed emotions about this year. part of me doesnt want to go back because this has been by far the best summer EVER! i have so many great memories to hang on to that will never ever be forgotten. then again, i want to go back to see everybody that i havent seen in like 3 months. i just want this to turn out to be a good year because last year i didnt like my classes or who was in my class. so far, my classes seem alright and lunch isnt that bad...most of my friends are in my lunch and some of my classes as well, which never happened before. this is the year where sat's take place, start thinking of a senior project, hard classes and of couse junior prom. right now, im sitting at my computer just thinking that in less than 12 hours ill be at school...thats just crazy. it amazes me that 2 years ago we were saying "oh, when we're juniors..." and now that time has finally come. we are juniors! its upsetting to think about because then in 2 more years...i'll be getting ready to go off to college. its very depressing. i know a lot of people want to get out of this valley when they graduate and they say how bad it is here...but i dont mind it. i dont want to leave. anyways, last night steph came over around 930 and we watched the VMA's...it was pretty good. the killers were amazing and kelly clarkson definitely put on a great end show. today, steph and mandy came over and we chilled. steph taught me and mandy a lesson for school, which was greatly needed and will be used...maybe? Goodbye Summer! (2) left me a comment.

[27 Aug 2005|04:56pm] [ mood | tired ] [ music | You Said No~Busted ] hey...last week of summer and im trying to make the best of it...here goes. Tuesday-me and mandy went to the Red Barons game at night with some people from my church...it was fun! mandy found out some interesting facts that shall be kept secret! Wednesday- i got a car!!! i have a car but no license...that makes sense right? im soo excited!! Thursday- had work from 10-2 and then ended up washing, vacuuming, and buying mats, an air freshener and a flashlight for the car!! im so pathetic, i know. Saturday- woke up not feeling the best and had to go to work from 11-5...thats a long shift for me. i was starting to like work until i found out the schedule for next week...wednesday from 3:45-9:45...thats friggin' six hours. when am i supposed to get my homework done? then i also have to work friday from 4:45-9...so not cool since its the first football game of the season!! im so mad! mandy and steph im really sorry! thats all for now but im sure ill update before school starts again!

[21 Aug 2005|02:43pm] [ mood | depressed ] [ music | Goodbye To You~ Michelle Branch ] Friday was our last summer sleepover...im soo upset! i dont want summer to end but then again i do because i get very bored sometimes. anyways, it was a heck of a lot of fun! omg...we drank strawberry daiquiris, played streetball in the church parking lot with B.J., arm wrestled against pifer and then against eachother. i have to say this, mandy is a beast! i beat steph on left hand though! go me! stayed up in the scamper and i finally fell asleep around 3 only because i had work the next morning at 9. i was sooo tired but i only had to work for 3 hours which wasnt bad. came home and slept for awhile. Today I worked from 10-2...i am actually liking my job because everyone is really nice. i met some more people today and some people stopped in like mandys aunt and cousins. not quite sure what im doing tonight. now i think im just gonna vent about this past summer since i have nothing better to do with my time. this past summer has been if not the best then second best. i feel really close to my friends, found myself a job, gotten a fashion lesson(not that i needed one) haha, got a new haircut, etc. its just been so much fun and im really depressed because i wish it could be summer all the time...i actually love staying up late, hanging out like everyday with my friends, nothing to worry about. summer is just so stress free! there were so many great times this summer that i cant even think of...from seeing "dukes of hazard" to going to ground round for a bite to eat or going on a bus trip to NYC with two of my best friends to going to the king of prussia mall with my grandparents and my aunt, or playing streetball in the tennis courts to going to concerts and getting autographs from people like the click five, AI, or the graham colton band or from steph riding her bike over almost everyday to getting hit on by painters on the way to kellys house. all in all, this summer has been the greatest. im really gonna miss it! school is in about a week...kind of excited to see everybody again and wear all of my new clothes and get my schedule and meet some new friends! it should be a good year! Goodbye Summer of 2005!!! You will be greatly missed! (2) left me a comment.

[17 Aug 2005|09:08pm] [ mood | sleepy ] [ music | Catch Your Wave~Click Five ] this past weekend i was a shopaholic, so to speak, and i loved every minute of it! that kinda sounds weird comin' from me i know but hey...it was fun! Saturday- me, mandy, and steph went to NYC...thats right, THE BIG APPLE! great great times! here are a few of the great memories: 1. ate donuts on the bus 2. steph was chinese and we met some of her folk on the bus as well as in NYC 3. arrived in NYC and met up with my uncle, his fiance, and his friend at Radio City 4. walked down the steps of the subway but didnt get too far 5. steph almost got hit by a car and died...im sorry but i couldnt stop laughing! 6. walked along Times Square and took some pretty cool pics 7. ate at The Hard Rock Cafe(it had guitar picks on the floor)...it was pretty sweet! 8. some of the stores we shopped in were h&m, conway's, forever 21, ESPN Zone, the MTV store, sephora, and plenty more 9. i bought 1 shirt from h&m, 3 shirts from forever 21, 1 shirt from conway's, lip gloss from sephora, an MTV VMA sticker, a "coach" purse, and an i <3 NYC t-shirt 10. steph and the boys had an interesting talk on the way home which i didnt really want to take part in 11. we decided that mandy is linguini, steph is a riblet and i am a peach...peaches are so boring and yucky! 12. kelly and jess were def. missed Sunday- went shopping with my mom, my aunt, and my gram to jcpenney's where i got a long sleeve shirt and a cami Monday- went with my grandparents and aunt to the King of Prussia Mall...it was a long day but i bought 2 pairs of jeans and a pair of chocolate brown pants. Wednesday- i babysat in the morning and then later on that day i got a phone call from gerrity's...thats right, look who's got a job now!!! woohoo! me and mandy went to jim dandy's for the last wing night before the college kids go back to school...it was very upsetting. i told ya i was a shopaholic!!! haha i love it! theres less than a week and a half left of summer and i dont want it to end! i cant wait until the end of the summer sleepover tomorrow night should be bundles of fun!

[08 Aug 2005|02:48pm] [ mood | contemplative ] [ music | This Is My Time~ Raven ] this is gonna be a long entry so be prepared!! well im back from the beach...got back friday about 2. i had tons of fun...here are just a few highlights: 1. riding mini-choppers(bikes) on the board walk 2. swam in the ocean with boogie boards 3. went on the skycoaster and for those of you who dont know what it is...youre harnessed in and hooked to a cord...then pulled high in the air and someone pulls the cord and you go flying...i like to call it the "superman" ride 4. went on the ball sling shot 5. bought myself a pair of board shorts 6. went for another bike ride on the trail 7. went for a walk on the beach at night (took some pics) 8. and of course, walked the boardwalk every night FRIDAY NIGHT- went to the luzerne bazaar with the gals and dougie and just hung out there for awhile and walked around the streets of luzerne. SATURDAY NIGHT- went over kelly's and watched "Dude, wheres my car?" i loooove that movie! mandy showed up at around 10, which is when i realized that i was totally out of it. heres what happened, kel's mom(was totally out of it) made daiquiris but added a lil somethin' somethin'(to much) to them...the first one, lets just say, was a bit tooo strong. like woah! the second one wasnt as bad but i was gone. played cranium...teams were me and mandy, kel and jill, and matt and derek. matt and derek i think definitely ruled at the charades but kelly, on the other hand, definitely loves her humdingers! then we went swimming and kelly actually went in the pool! i know what you're thinking...crazy isnt it? then we went inside and watched "Good Burger"...another favorite of mine! SUNDAY NIGHT- we went to the Kelly Clarkson concert. the opening act was 'Graham Colton Band' or according to steph theyre the 'Graham Culture Band'...haha anyway, we got their autographs and got a pic with them. Kelly wasnt as good as i expected her to be...i thought she wouldve sang more fast songs. the concert was only about an hour long too. after the concert, we went to the gate...once again! we met this kid there, don, he was really nice and we talked to him for about an hour or so...then walked over to the other side of the arena to sit on the rocks while screaming k.c. songs at the top of our lungs. MONDAY NIGHT- me, mandy, and kelly went to see "The Dukes of Hazzard"...pretty good movie if i may say so myself. i dont really consider this fair because kelly gets Johnny Knoxville(luke duke), mandy gets Sean William Scott(bo duke), and guess who i get! yep you guessed it...Willy Nelson(Uncle Jessie). i just dont get why im stuck with him! ewww...hes so old! after the movie, this guy pulled up in a red car and asked if we needed a ride...ummm no! and he was alone! what guy does that when theyre alone...i can see maybe if there were other guys in the car and he was trying to cool and all but ewww! ok so yea...theres a matter of less than 3 weeks till school...im not really ready to go back yet. im having way too much fun this summer and i just dont want it to end. i feel the closest ive ever felt to my friends...they're great! i think i just dont want school to come and go because after this year theres only one year left and whats gonna happen after that? my senior year is already booked with weddings and senior trips...its just all passing by too fast. this year theres SAT's, reasearch paper, prom, and everything else thats going on. i just dont want high school to end. i dont want to grow up...im not ready.
