ugh back to school time. summer ended well. i took two weeks off to go places before classes started. i went to my dad's. it was boring. i went to va beach after that and hung out with ruth one last time before she went off to madrid. i also got to visit with alainna some. always a good time. my last night there i went to a hootie and the blowfish concert w/lynn, matt and their girls. it was funish. the band took forever to come out and by the time they did the girls were all tired and wanted to be held...a seven year old gets very heavy very quickly.

then i went to charleston for a week. i miss it A LOT. we ate lots of good food, did a lot of shopping and basically it was really nice not to have to worry about anything for a few days. of course now i'm back here working and studying and i wish so much that i could go back in time and do summer all over again. don't we all, though.

i'm pretty tired now so i think i'm gonna head to bed. night!

you sit and then you stand and then you sit

sooooo i'm done with all that stupid summer camp shit. went to va beach over the weekend for some much needed good times. pablo and i drove down friday night and got there 9ish. met some of ruth's friends, chilled, you know. saturday we tried the beach but there was wack shit in the water so we didn't stay long. that night we ended up renting a movie but sleeping through most of it. pablo caught a ride back with someone else and left around noon on sunday and i spent most of the day with fam. saw ruth again before leaving town to come back for work on monday.

i have a lot of stuff to do in the next couple of weeks but i'm taking one last vacation in august before school starts and i can't wait. i am just itchin to get back to chuck.

it rhymes with match-oodleyboo

Tue, 11 Jul 2006 02:34:39 GMT

deary me it has been 2+ months since i last updated. unfortunately, there has been little activity to fill in this gap. i got a movie pass at blockbuster ($25/month for unlimited rentals and no due dates) and have more than made that worth it. i have consequently found yet another television on dvd addiction. if you've never seen entourage, you need to check that shit out.

aside from all this i have not-so-shockingly been working. i think, though, that michaels is losing its grip on me. i no longer feel the loyalty to management that has kept me there for the last two and a half years. i also had a meltdown this afternoon like i've never had before. i asked over two months ago to be transferred from the frame shop. instead, i am going to end up more stuck than ever. in their efforts to move me away from it, all they've managed to do is to give me training in more areas so that they can stretch me even thinner. i feel like a yo-yo made of play-doh. for once i would like to have one job. is that really so hard?

in spite of my chaotic work-life, i have managed to have some fun this summer. my family went to the beach at the end of june for our annual trip. they were all amazing, as usual. all the little girls were super cute and my brother randy was there this year which somehow made the week so much more complete than last. and my brother jonathan has moved back to the east coast. he's in florida now, which is still kind of far, but somehow a much more bearable distance away than california. i can't wait til i get to visit.

next weekend i am going to va beach for some qt with ruth and pablo. those kids never let me down for a good time. they are the light at the end of my tunnel.

who do you think will live the longest?

Mon, 01 May 2006 23:29:11 GMT

upon sarah's request, i am finally updating after almost a month. april was good. i turned 20. kind of a lame age but i'm getting used to it. i definitely miss being a teenager and being able to simply attribute irresponsible behavior to my age, but alas we do not live in neverland.

other than that i don't feel like much out of the ordinary happened. i got lost on dvd and am now obsessed. what's new. i finally went and declared as an english major. i've known for forever that that was what i was going to do so i'm not sure why i waited until the last minute, but i did. i don't guess it really matters.

john's birthday was last weekend and we went out to dinner to celebrate. we finally have plumbing in our new downstairs bathrooms so you don't have to go upstairs anymore to use the facilities. you don't realize how nice that is until it's not there anymore. our back porch and deck are screened in too which is pretty sweet. it'll be so nice to go outside and chill without having to worry about bug spray or sunscreen.

tomorrow is the last day of classes. then exams. my last exam is on the 11th and i don't work again until the 13th so i'm totally straight with the world. i finally got a blockbuster card and i got a movie pass so i've been watching movies approximately all the time. it's good times. kat's coming by later to join in on the fun. i can't wait cause i feel like i haven't seen her in forevs.

aside from all this, i am super duper excited about summer. i can't wait to go to the beach with my family in june. i had a dream the other night in which i was about to go down to the beach. i was putting on sunscreen and i could almost smell it. it sucked having to wake up and walk to class in the gross rain. anyway, i'm out of things to say.

it's only the beginning...

Mon, 03 Apr 2006 18:45:51 GMT

good weekend. friday night i went home after work and saturday morning my mom and i took my grandparents up to dulles so they could fly to atlanta to visit my aunt and uncle. it was nice cause i got to see them and spend some qt with my mom on the way back. after dinner saturday we went to maggie moo's and met jenny. i miss her so so much and it was awesome to see her, even if it was only for a little bit.

sunday i had to work. sale week. but it was okay. i definitely could have gone without having lost an hour, but we'll get it back in the fall and i'll surely be happy about it then.

this week should not be hard. i don't think i have anything major due or any exams. hopefully i can get a lot done though so that the end of the semester will go smoothly. i'm so sad that it's almost the end. after this semester, i'll be halfway through. this is crazy. i only hope the second half can be as good as the first (cheesy i know, but you're thinkin it too). that's it for now.

Mon, 20 Mar 2006 03:50:49 GMT

spring break was fun. i was sick at the beginning but after a couple days of doing nothing i felt better. sarah and i found a place to live next year. i'm so excited about this. after that i went down to va beach to spend some time with family. friday i went to school with my cousin laura. she's in second grade and they have this spanish immersion program where they spend the first half of the day speaking only in spanish. somehow i got volunteered to go and help out while i was down there and i actually had a lot of fun. saturday was sean's 12th birthday party. they had it at cinema cafe and we saw hoodwinked. it was pretty chill.

this past week was pretty uneventful. thursday i went to a party at aarti's and it was much fun. there were a bunch of people from albemarle and it was so good to see them. friday was sack race/wheelbarrow day in calc. mike pulled some random drunk people (they started early since it was st. patrick's day i guess) from the lawn cause they asked if they could join our class. please imagine a couple of drunk people trying to sack race. and wheelbarrow race. i leave it at that.

this weekend i went to my dad's house. we did nothing exciting. we never really do. now i'm home and super tired. time for bed.

and tomorrow's thursday

Thu, 02 Mar 2006 01:52:12 GMT

chapter february is closed. i'm glad. it was a busy month. but in review... i had to spend valentine's night in a calc exam, but i got a hundred on it so it was okay in the end. kat and i have finally established a regular hang out time. granted we are skipping it tonight...but wednesday night is usually kat night and i like it. i also finally got my car inspected. yes, it had expired back in october, but whatever. it's done now. this week i have two papers left to write and then it's SPRING BREAK. i can't wait. i'm just going home and to va beach and doing NOTHING. i asked off from work for basically the whole week and i can't wait to spend some time away. i'm sleepy right now so i think i may actually go to bed early. maybe i can get an early start tomorrow. or not...

i just wanna STOP

Mon, 13 Feb 2006 04:45:05 GMT

mmm snow makes for very fun times. friday night i couldn't sleep like a 5 year old on christmas eve cause i knew it was gonna start snowing in the night and that i got to get up and go out in it and wear all my warm wintry stuff. man i was stoked. anyway my walk to work the next morning was so nice and pretty and i was in a great mood allllll day long in spite of the fact that we had a sale. the snow really didn't chase anyone away. in fact, i think it may have boosted business since it seemed everyone believed the apocalypse was coming and they would need something crafty to do in the meantime. i swear, people are crazy, i saw one woman walk out with enough yarn to make a blanket that would cover a small country.

saturday night i went home with jenna and we watched movies and had a snowball fight with josh. it was pretty darn sweet except for the fact that i had no gloves and i thought my hands were gonna fall off. eventually they went completely numb and i stopped worrying about them. i spent the night over there and jenna dropped me off at work today at noon.

now i'm home and i think i'm going to take a shower and then go to bed. it's going to be a looooooooooong week.

sooooo it's been a long time. classes are good, only a few mildly stressful moments here and there. my ridiculous monday/wednesday marathon of classes thing is going well. and i got a 21/20 on my first linguistics quiz. this would be REALLY exciting if it hadn't been on things like state capitals and labeling the appalachian mountains, but i'm still happy about it.

this past weekend i went home to celebrate my mom's and my uncle's birthdays. we spent most of saturday at my grandparents and then sunday night my mom and i watched movies together. yes, instead of the superbowl.

tonight i worked. that's all i know. i need coffee filters.

show me your booooooobs!

Sat, 21 Jan 2006 10:17:45 GMT

i sincerely NEEDED tonight. this week has been a bit rough to get through. my classes are pretty good, other than the fact that i have to again adjust to having classes on friday, but they are good. it's just been tough making the transition back to being at school and not running home each night to my mom. somehow i really miss telling her about my day. this is not to say that i don't appreciate the friends i have here, but i loved having someone who i knew genuinely and consistently cared about how my life was going.

anyway, tonight. i wasn't scheduled to work but i told jenna i would come in 6-10 anyway so i did. i walked in with a genuinely sour expression, i'm sure, but as i made the turn to go into the employees' door i heard someone yell "murry!" not unsual since that's what everyone calls me, but when i turned around it was mike pyell. i didn't know what to do other than just give him a hug and look at him totally confused and happy that he was there. he's here for a couple of days and he said that he wanted us to all get together tonight like old times. boy did we ever. we all went over to jenna's and there was the typical drama and crying, but also so much fun. i hadn't seen mike since his birthday or heard from him since new year's and it was so nice having everyone all together again. i know it's probably the last time since so many people are going to go their separate ways now so it meant a lot. i got to say a semi-official goodbye to beth and know that it certainly isn't the last time we'll hang out. i miss her already so so much. i drove her and mike home and now i'm back at my apartment wondering if i should even try to sleep considering i have to be at work at 10 in the morning. oh well...

aside from hanging out with everyone i talked to my brother tonight which i really needed. i really miss having him around periodically and it was so great to just say hi. i hope for many more nights like this one.

Sun, 15 Jan 2006 03:47:55 GMT

charleston was sooo amazing. i miss it a lot. sunday we went to church and then this really nice restaurant with really good bacon for lunch. sarah and i went shopping that afternoon because it is what we do best. monday we began an extreme movie marathon that consisted mostly of chick flicks. it was definitely good times though. tuesday night we went to a japanese steak house and i willingly ate zucchini for the first time in my life. wednesday night uncle steve cooked dinner and he made the best macaroni and cheese ever. thursday matthew was around because he had no school so i got to see him some. we watched saw. it was really strange but good. it still strikes me as odd that the main guy in the movie also played robin hood in robin hood men in tights and was also in the princess bride. very big leaps in genre. friday sarah and i went to columbia. she had to do some stuff for her job as a page this semester. it was a fruitful trip. last night we ordered pizza and just hung out at the house. i left charleston this afternoon and was very sad to go. my mom and john and i went to pizza bella when i got home. now i'm just sitting at home with them and neo and cleo in our crazy moved around house.

and on another note, beth is now leaving and mike moody quit. it's weird.

so christmas is done. i made a trip down to my dad's which was ok. we went to maryland for new years weekend and it was good, except my cousin nikki was in the hospital so we didn't get to see her much. we had fun though and i got a husband for christmas from my aunt and cousin. the pillow kind.

now i'm in charleston! it's nice. i have no responsibilities and i get to do whatever i want for a week. woop. that's it. nothing interesting.

Mon, 26 Dec 2005 00:44:28 GMT

yesterday was christmas eve. i went by work for a bit to exchange gifts with people there and then came home and knitted all afternoon while watching extremely cheesy christmas movies that included a very brady christmas and jingle all the way. went to church around ten and sat with hart and sam. i miss all my coosyg people so much and it was definitely fun like old times sitting with them.

this morning we got up and had an awesome breakfast (hooray for orange rolls) and then opened presents. this was a seriously awesome christmas. and it's only just begun! anyway i got everything on my list and then some. i got the dvds i wanted, towels, a coffee maker, a toaster, a bathrobe, a PERFECT new coat, earrings. margie and my parents outdid themselves. they're the best EVER.

we went over to my grandparents' retirement home this afternoon for their big fancy dinner in their big fancy dining room and it was alright. i'm looking forward to dinner here tomorrow when lynn and michael are here. that's it for now i suppose. merry christmas!

we've got enough damn christmas

Sun, 18 Dec 2005 20:27:51 GMT

done done done with school=me. this past week was hell. monday i worked during the day and then tuesday i had two exams and then worked an overnight with jenna. i was up for 24 hours. i slept most of wednesday and then had two more exams on thursday. we lost power thursday night and i couldn't study so my exam friday morning pretty much sucked. oh well. i picked up my final soc project/paper thing and i got a 99. that was pretty exciting. then i worked friday night, chilled with jenna after work and came home. yesterday i slept most of the day, finished up some christmas shopping and started in on gilmore girls season 5. my cousin sarah called and our deadbeat cousin drew randomly decided to show up at gram's. not cool. hopefully he'll go away soon. not that i'm there or anything but sarah is and since we're extensions of each other i might as well be. anyway i went to church this morning and then came home and am continuing with season 5. that's about the sum of things. nothing interesting i know, but it's life.

Sun, 04 Dec 2005 07:25:05 GMT

it's been a long week. last weekend i worked saturday AND sunday and was annoyed. i had to close on monday and tuesday nights and then had 2 papers due wednesday, one thursday, and a mamma jamma science test that i'm pretty sure went...poorly. but thursday night was fun. i met up with sarah beth after my last class and we went to the lighting of the lawn and then briefly went to a seriously pointless review session for death and dying. then i went to see rosencrantz and guildenstern are dead with kat. it was good times and so good to see her since it was the first time we had hung out or really talked since break.

friday i slept pretty much all day and then had movie night with my parents. we went out to dinner and then rented the polar express. it was a very relaxing and stress free evening. i love them for always being able to make life better. today sandra and i got up and went shopping. i got this uber awesome new green purse. it's pretty. and i finally got a start on my christmas shopping... i went into work at three today and just got home around 2. beth and i stayed late to get as much extra stuff done as possible. we both left extremely tired and unfortunately she has to go back and close tomorrow. i don't for once. but i'll be studying for an exam instead so either way it kinda sucks. that's it for now. night!

Sat, 26 Nov 2005 04:52:48 GMT

this week went by like nothing. last saturday was the tech game. thank you to sarah beth for helping make it an amazing day even though our team played...not so well. sunday i worked and then monday i drove down to see my dad. i feel better and worse about him all at the same time.

tuesday i came home and my parents took me to see harry potter and the goblet of fire. harry is my life. wednesday i drove down to va beach and hun out with alainna, had dinner with ruth, and then headed over to aunt anne's house to be with my family. uncle dave and i stayed up til 2:30 in the morning just talking. he's the best. thursday everyone else got there and we had 18 people for dinner. we ate very early for us though so it was a weird night. we watched mary poppins and then all passed out.

today i came back to charlottesville and worked. black friday wasn't all that bad for me, i just really wanted to be back in va beach with my family. tomorrow i work again and then sunday i'm off so i get at least one real vacation day that can consist of little more than sleep and food. back to school monday, but only a few more weeks til winter!

Tue, 15 Nov 2005 04:52:10 GMT

so gee, it's been a while since i updated. back in october...the avp concert with anya was fun. getting pulled over later that night for dead tags was not. and somehow it just seemed to make it worse that i had to stop in front of tuttle. a place that once held nothing but great joy for me is now also associated with a bad memory. oh well. the week that followed was crazy with papers and exams and my class on making a purse out of duct tape... uh yeah anyway it was busy and i was so tired i punked out halloween weekend and was in bed before nine that saturday.

since then i don't think there's been anything too terribly significant going on. oh that's right, nothing's been going on at all because the only thing i've been doing since then is watching gilmore girls in every free minute i get. i really think i may have a problem. i mean think about this, i borrowed season one halloween weekend. since that time i borrowed and finished season two, then bought seasons three and four and finished the last of four tonight. so in just over two weeks i watched 67 episodes of gilmore girls. now i am anxiously counting down the days until december thirteenth when they will release season five on dvd. what am a going to do until then?

aside from that madness, i went home for a week and it was a little weird waking up every morning to hammering and sawing and men in hardhats walking around outside my window every day. it was nice being there though and seeing the progress being made on the addition. and jonathan called me last thursday. this is still making me smile. lynn came to town over the weekend and it was good seeing her as well. can't wait for break next week. it cannot possibly come soon enough.

what's with the golf tee?

thursday night sandra and i stayed in and had a drunken night of bonding time. we got through maybe half an episode of queer as folk until we just couldn't concentrate anymore. sandra ended up iming the world while i ran around the apartment like a retard sitting in my closet and then attempting to put up my halloween lights. they look pretty rough. rob came over and we went to the italian villa pancake house place and he bought our food. i love rob. after that we went to sleep and it was good.

yesterday i worked and then somehow decided to go out. we went to dtd and it was pretty cool. i talked to lots of random people and a lot of people i hadn't seen in forever and somehow ended up with some kid's golf tee tucked behind my ear... i had a lot of fun though and i'm glad i went. i worked 11-7 today and then went to dinner with sandra at boston market. tonight anya is in town and i get to see her :) can't wait!

i've got some chicken in the oven would you like some?

i went home thursday. it was chill. friday night i worked and jenna and koblish were in the back with me and beth. i offered to come in saturday morning too, knowing that i wouldn't be leaving town until the afternoon. too bad i went over to jenna's and had a few too many sloe gin fizzes. i mean i still went in on saturday, but i was all kinds of trashed friday night and walked around with my sunglasses on and josh and i decided to have a kid together named miller danger. um, ok. it was a good night though--drama free.

saturday i worked til 1 or so and then left my house for maryland around 3. stopped in falls church to visit pyell. his store is oh so small and he has approximately six employees who speak good english. the rest are either hispanic or deaf. and the deaf girl is hispanic too so they can't even write her notes. anyway, i hung out with him for an hour or so and then went on to mike and carrie's. i was glad i went cause i think they appreciated me being there, but it didn't really turn out to be that hot of a night. i mean i didn't really know any of the people and i was kinda bored. and jonathan wasn't there cause he missed his flight. and the night had a reallllly awkward ending. we'll leave it at that.

today i napped at mike's house until 4 and headed home. now i'm back at my apartment and i'm thinking a shower sounds really nice about now. later...

seriously, you need to stop being that girl

sooooo my history exam is over and so in english. and i did well on my soc exam. i suppose i'm content with how things are turning out so far this semester. tuesday was my intermediate day of chillness but i had to work and i saw our new assistant for the first time. i had heard many a thing about him including such wonderful characteristics as being short, not having a chin, and having a substantial gut. i had also heard that he is super gung-ho about anything and everything michaels. and i mean the real michaels way of doing things, not the way we do it that actually makes sense. so when he walked in i should have been prepared. but i was not. i seriously think i may have a foot on this guy. i don't know that i can take direction from some little napoleon who has already insulted our classroom coordinators, accused our receiving guy of "making faces" at him during a meeting (um can we say first grade?), and tried to order first aid supplies (which we literally need like a hole in the head). he is soooo off on the wrong foot and ultra lame. and i thought i would be happy that he finally started.

today i went and bought new shoes. they were super expensive but super amazing. somehow something sliced across the toe of my pumas so i needed something in their place. these new shoes i got are actually nothing like them though so i may just have to get another new pair of pumas too. or maybe i should stop spending money i don't really have...

went out to dinner with kaitlin tonight. it's always nice catching up. soooo tired now-

ok so this weekend was pretty sweet. i worked friday night and saturday during the day and saturday night we all hung out like old times. mike is in town for his birthday so we went out to dinner at outback and then hung out at jenna's. everyone got extremely wasted and there were several injuries. i got pushed up against a drawer handle and now have trouble sitting comfortably. i didn't get home until 3:30 and i was of course the only person there who had to work this morning so i was kind of miserable rolling into michaels at 9. not hung over, but tired. i had to take a super long nap when i got home.

tomorrow i have a history exam for which i am completely unprepared. mike always said he would help me with my history class and then he moved but since he's in town i'm totally making him help me tomorrow. after that exam i have one in english on wednesday which will suck but i'll make it through. once all that's done it'll be almost time for the weekend and i'm going to frederick to see mike, carrie, jon etc. i. can't. wait.

clink.

do you like special k?

this week has been long and short at the same time. monday we had off so i only had three days of classes, but they were all very busy days of classes. tuesday was pretty slack but i had to work that night. wednesday i had my death and dying midterm and it was okay, but i still think i could have done better. we shall see next week how i actually did. yesterday i was dreading going to my history discussion cause i knew we would be getting back the quiz we took last week and i was pretty sure i failed. i ended up doing fine on it though so it was chill. he said that most people either had the big picture and no details or lots of detail but not really the big picture so i wasn't alone in my struggle. then we watched some crazy film on cane toads in ecology. if anyone ever asks you if you want to see or do anything related to cane toads, just say no.

last night was the big rolling stones concert. sandra and i opted for just hangin out here. we watched queer as folk for a loooong time. we even had to make a trip to clemons to get more. it's really weird and kinda graphic, but once you get used to the fact that there may be naked men on the screen at any given moment, it's very interesting and soap opera-esque.

this weekend i'm working and that's about it. next week i have two midterms i'm not looking forward to at all. wish me luck...

because he punched me first

sooo needed this weekend. friday morning we got up early and headed down to north carolina. we stayed at a beach house on wrightsville beach. we got there around 3 and mike and carrie got there right after us and then lynn, jon, jaime, sydney and payton got there a little bit later. i got stuck in a bedroom with no windows. it was weird and kind of sucky. anyway, we went to the rehearsal dinner at 5. it was right on the beach and it was beautiful. i met a million new people that it will take me forever to get straight.

we left there around 9 and jon, mike, carrie and i went to hit a store for some playing cards only to find that it was closed. on the walk back to the house we came across this little bar so we went inside and proceeded to drink. i got an autograph from john boy of the john boy and billy show on the radio (if you know what this is, cool, if not, then you're missing out). then i randomly talked to pretty much everyone there, occasionally with a british accent that i somehow just couldn't stop doing. i was going around like this mostly because jon and mike were in some heated conversation, probably about college football, and i was not interested. i managed to make my way back to our table just after they had decided it would be fun to punch each other. somehow i took a picture of jon trying to help mike with his subsequently busted lip without ever stopping to wonder how it had happened. it wasn't until the morning that i found out there were punches thrown.

after all that foolishness jon and i went home and just chilled at the house while mike and carrie went to a party at the purple house across the street. it turned out that the party was mostly freshman in college. they were quite surprised when the cops showed up and most of the people there ran into hiding. mike was left alone on a balcony holding an empty pitcher screaming about a missing keg. so sad i missed that.

next morning jon and i managed to sleep off hangovers but mike and carrie were not so lucky. we watched football ALL FREAKIN DAY and then left around 4:30 for the wedding. it was a short and sweet ceremony with a pretty nice reception to follow. the cake was a bit dry and disappointing. oh well. we were all in bed early that night.

this morning there was a brunch at someone's house. these people had a guest house. and they had a tray of bottled water, which was cool, but it was fiji water. who just has fiji water laying around? RICH people. anyway...we got home tonight around 5 and have done nothing more of interest. hopefully i'll get to see mike, carrie and jon again in a couple weeks for carrie's birthday. we shall see. night for now.
