| 2:15 pm | Summertime Its been forever since i've updated...as usual. It seems like all of my livejournal buddies are off at camp, so who am i really writing for besides myself?! Carrie...are you out there still?!? Carrie? i talked to ashley a few nights ago. Then amie recently also. Amie and I moaned about not going back to camp, while we both know that we will have terrific summers and it will be great, its still funny to think that we both gave up that opportunity...granted they were both for Hive, which is different..but still. So happiness to all, and may you have a great summer!!!! Anyway, graduation was last friday. whoa, a week ago. it was a million degrees and oh so long, but nice. its funny to look around a place like that and realize just how many of the faces are completely familiar. the families i have known for sooooo long. all those kids who have always been just ahead of us, and now we're the oldest. its funny, as bryan and i come closer and closer to our final farewell..or so it seems...we are both holding tighter to each other. we've always taken each other for granted i suppose, right next door. and now the idea of saying goodbye to that sisterly/brotherly thing in just a week is hitting us. he's gone right now, and he's going to be gone already in august when i get back. so i wont see him til thanksgiving or christmas. i'm really going to miss him an awful lot. Mom and I went up to Maine for a couple days and looked at Bowdoin, Bates, and Colby. I loved Bowdoin, and Colby a lot also. Our tour guide at Bates was basically an idiot, so i didn't like it as much. Granted its mighty hard to look at a school in its entirety when most of the students are gone...but anyway. We also went to LL Bean in Freeport and got lots and lots and lots of stuff for my trip! i have stripped polypro undies now :). it was fun... Things I am doing/should do Today: *Continue to gather things for my AMC trip *Go down to Onion River Sports and get a few more things *Go to First in Fitness *Organize my photos *Call Tarunya, and Amie about Tuesday *Start packing things for Brown! ( i go straight there from AMC) *Write to V *Talk to Kate and Lex..i figure i'll see kate tonight, but we have to figure out about B&Js; tomorrow *Shower Current Mood:  hopefulCurrent Music: The Point- 104.7 |

| 10:24 am | I got the link from Carrie...the test is really strange...felt like posting the results! Your Existing Situation Working to improve her image in the eyes of others in order to obtain their compliance and agreement with her needs and wishes. Your Stress Sources Has an unsatisfied need to ally herself with others whose standards are as high as her own, and to stand out from the herd. This desire for preeminence isolates her and inhibits her readiness to give herself freely. While she wants to surrender and let herself go, she regards this as a weakness which must be resisted. This self-restraint, she feels, will lift her above the rank and file and ensure recognition as a unique and distinctive personality. Your Restrained Characteristics Has high emotional demands and is willing to involve herself in a close relationship, but not with any great depth of feeling. Feels that things stand in her way, that circumstances are forcing her to compromise and forgo some pleasures for the time being. Your Desired Objective Her need to feel more causative and to have a wider sphere of influence makes her restless and she is driven by her desires and hopes. May try to spread her activities over too wide a field. Your Actual Problem Feels insufficiently valued in her existing situation, and is seeking different conditions in which she will have greater opportunity of demonstrating her worth. |

| 9:03 pm | I miss Emily Palmer. If you are out there...HI! |
| 11:04 am | A random, but fun weekend so let's see... friday after school cayla, kate, and i went over to barre so kate could get carhartts because she's doing vermont youth concervation corps this summer and she wanted some. i found great blue-gray ones on sale, so i went back yesterday and bought them! yay new carhartts! they are already soft too! friday night i hung out with kate and cayla, and lex joined us too! we for once stole her away from Foster..so we were really excited. we were aiming to have a five alive night, but v didn't end up joining us. anyway, we hung around and cayla and i got dinner from the co-op and saw the most beautiful boy ever playing frisbee. and had adventures with the atm machine...so then we met back up with kate adn lex. we decided to walk downtown because it was so nice out. so i had a backpack full of shoes and sweatshirts (of course we were all barefoot!), thus i looked a bit sketch. we went to the incident...a local teen run coffee house sorta thing that takes place once a month. that was fun..we saw alaina sing. then we wandered around and chilled on the state house lawn. then cayla went home and k, l, and i walked up to teh college green for a while then went home. it was fun! it seemed like a summer night...so typical and great. SAT IIs on sat morning...they sucked. of course. damn..i hate tests. whatev. there were a lot of people there. then we went up to the girlslax championship game, they were playing middlebury which has absolutely dominated girls lax for the past 5 years. so of coruse they didnt win but they held it in tight. v had two goals..wahoo! then kate, laura, and i went to al's french fries and that was fun. we were so pathetic we barely had enough money to get a big thing of fries ($2.95)..hehe then v and i hung out and mixed some shit up. then we waited and waited for kate then walked around a whole lot. down the middle of the road of course. thats the great thing about montpelier. i defiantely don't think about it enough. you can walk EVERYWHERE and its usually empty so you can walk int he middle of the road and only a couple cars will come along. thats what summer nights are really about hehe. so we walked around downtwon, then we tried to go up one of the hubbard park trails, which was retarded, since it was completely dark and we didn't know exactly where the trail was. then v fell down and cut her knee and i started peeing my pants (literally!)...then we walked up cliff street and looked out on the town. then home. oh and we ran into bill and will...that was sweet. so ummmm yeah this weekend has been a little messed up but a lot of fun. most likely nobody really cares...so i guess i just like writing it out to reflect. huh. doug definately has NOT called back...even though he did tell me to call. everythings a little wierd. ugg. i cannot believe that this week is the last week of school before finals. it doesnt feel like it at all since its not that warm, and things have jsut gone by so fast. i mean i'm definately super excited because this year has been kinda rough, but at the same time...next year is out last year!!!!! i'm definately phyced for college, but still..... its craziness. i dont want my whole life to go by this fast, ya know? february seems like it was not that long ago. wierd. and i really can't believe that its been about a year since last summer! i swear it wasn't a year ago that we were all at camp...in club shack. its just strange. sigh. i'm excited for this summer, with the AMC thing and Brown...but its defiantely going to be different. well...i ought to go be productive. fuck.

We went up to the boat on Friday night, cayla came, with the hopes of sailing. However the motor wouldnt work and it was a bit too windy. oh well...we had a nice picnic and got the boat all set up for future events. I was excited to get out on the water! i cant wait to sail!!! yay! sat. i went up to the U32 boys lax game with jenna to see alex play...that was fun. then i hung around and hung out with v. (yes she's the 800 getter). we went to julios then we had time to kill so we went for a drive and then we saw angel eyes. it wasnt as bad as we thought it would be, but not so great. kinda cute. sunday...oh thats yesterday! ummm i saw to kill a mockingbird last night. rose and joe were both in it, and they were both really good. it was fun. then i came home and went to bed real early and slept realllllllly late this morning!!! it was great...i've just been hanging around today. i did some homework and went ofr a walk with jenna. talked to cayla for a while. talked to bryan. i havent showered. whatev. i think i'll go to bed early again.

GOOD THINGS *wore my cool sandals which make me happy *photo display for art show looks BEAUTIFUL *got into the Brown summer writing program, so i'll be doing that for 3 weeks this summer! *talked to good people that i've missed *got an email from Ros, my aunt who has decided that she is moving to Cali tomorrow. :( happy, because she is going out to try and succeed as an artist (didnt she already try that? back here?) but sad because she will be so far away. NOT SO GOOD THINGS *watching Platoon in American Studies...the movie is really well done and interesting, but very disturbing also. i hate watching things like taht in school, because then the bell rings and you continue on with your everyday life, seemingly overlooking it. *Bio was SOOOOO boring *V was very pissy *almost got into an accident after school...not so good *feeling ill and exhausted, as usual ANYWHO... the art show is tonight. it was looking pretty good earlier...lots of photos in it!!! i took the coolest pic on our "photo hike" downtown the other night, and i didnt think it would be that cool but carley suggested that i play around with it and now i looooooooooovvvvvveeee it! its an italian soda from capital grounds sitting on the counter, with this grate behind it and shadows and all these clear little bubbles in the soda. wow its the greatst. i'm very happy with it. yay. word is he's back. again. off to read so that then i can write the paper i really have to do! |

| 8:09 pm | Hey, Eliza, you're a Socialite! ? You're warm, generous, and caring. Your natural friendliness and charm mean you're great at meeting people. People sense that you won't bail on them (or ask money for favors). You handle your popularity with grace and take your personal life very seriously. Your piercing social insight and rich imagination give you a special talent for picturing people without their clothes on. A strong, solid circle of friends is important to you. At times your life verges on perfection. You're confident, dependable, and goal-oriented, so when you make a plan you stick with it. You like reaching out and meeting new people. And because you're so darn perky and likable, you make friends very easily. You're generous with your belongings, and you really don't care too much if people lose your stuff. But sometimes you can be self-critical and worry too much. That's when you need to take a break and enjoy a little solitude. You see work as an extension of your social life, and you like to send emails and make calls to your friends during office hours. Chances are you've got some good pals at work too and enjoy long, leisurely lunches gossiping about your boss. But when the pressure's on, you can really get moving. Aside from your rare moments of neurosis, you're smart, speedy, and handle stress like a pro. |

| 3:43 pm | Thought of the Day ok so a while ago i subscribed to get these little thought of the day messages emailed to me everyday...i thought they'd be cool little quotes. they've actually proved to be rather annoying, but i cant get myself to unsubscribe...i guess i'm a little addicted, or its just nice to get at least that one email each day. ANYWAY, here are a few of the good ones that i liked enough to save: Invest some time in you - create a 'selfish' ritual. This strategy works because when you have what you need emotionally, you have even more to give others. Your ritual may be extra time to yourself in the morning, it may be exercise, or it may be a hot bath. It may be time you give yourself to be creative, or pursue your passions. Whatever it is, initially it may take discipline to begin, but you will find that you will soon realize how absolutely necessary it is! You will feel more happily contented, and the little things won't send you over the edge quite so easily. (slightly strange, but a good reminder) Keep in touch with the people who have shaped your life in powerful ways. Just the act of keeping in touch lets them know how much they mean to you. It also ensures that you will always have a rich support base as you travel through the challenges of life. (i like that one b/c recently i've been horrible about writing back to people and keeping in touch with those far away... i love ya all still!!!) hehe..so i'm a dork. oh well.

| 4:08 pm | A walk in the woods I went for a little walk/hike with Dad this morning in Hubbard Park...it was really nice. I hadn't been up there in a long time and it was great to be in the woods. Very peaceful. I've been in the strangest mood recently. Entirely exhausted, and very grumpy too. I had 3 breakdowns on thursday/friday it was terrible. i dont know what it is, maybe PMS but its terrible. need more sleep. gave bill a ride downtown last night..nice talking to him. got new shampoo which is making my hair very soft and nice. speaking of which it is 26 inches long. i'm not sure when i'll cut it...its been a lot of work, but i love it long, i almost dont want to cut it anytime soon, yet it will be SO much easier. those cancer people better appreciate it. :) had fun with kate and v last night. going to dance recital tonight...should be very wierd watching and not being in it. i miss dance so much, but i just dont have the time. and it just got too complicated. i'll enjoy watching it, while wishing i was up there. still trying to figure out summer, as my plans continue to deteriorate. its going to rain soon, yay. i love the rain. flowers blooming. i talked to bryan for a while yesterday, which was really nice. i'm going to miss the kid soooo much next year when hes off in NC for college. i mean we've been friends since he moved here in 3rd grade and he's like my brother...granted we arent as close now as we used to be, but its going to be so wierd not having him right next door! anyway, he was heading down to BOSTON today for teh youth pride day with gsa...very cool. funny because he's bringing celeste with him, of course, but very very good. too much to do. i'm overwhelmed.
