(2 gave me forehead kisses | Love Me) [30 Mar 2003|07:24pm] My parents need to simply just grow the fuck up.

(1 gave me forehead kisses | Love Me) Dave wanted me to put in a shoutout to him - so sup DB? [26 Mar 2003|10:53pm] [ mood | stressed ] [ music | Jimmy Eat World - The Middle ] I don't even know where to begin on this entry but I just felt the need to write. I feel like I need to get something out, but I don't really know how, and I know that writing about it won't help too much but I guess it's worth a shot. I've been so stressed out the past couple days, and I know I shouldn't be. Things are going great in my life, both friendship and relationship wise. Everything's great and I'm so happy about it. But my parents are just making me lose my mind lately. I don't know what's gotten into them but all of a sudden they both feel the need to harp on me for everything and jump on my back about anything and just yell at me for nothing. It's ridiculous and I can't take much more of it. Yesterday my dad was being incredibly anal about me sending in my employment application for camp this summer, and so I filled it out but couldn't fill out everything because I needed addresses for a couple references and stuff ... and he goes nuts and freaks out on me for it. Not a big deal until I start hearing crap from my mom too, and then when I called the camp to have them fax me a copy of the camper registration form for my brother, they weren't in the office, and somehow that ended up being my fault, just like everything else, so my parents yelled at me for that one too. What the hell? How is that fair at all? First of all, they should be the ones filling out the forms for my brother to go to camp, NOT ME. I'm not the parent. Second of all, I'll fill out my application when I'm damn well ready to fill it out. I don't know if I want to work there this summer. It's money ... but it's so much time. And I have other reasons too that I won't get into. But anyways ... so I was beginning to get stressed about the damn camp stuff and then my parents just have to take it a few steps farther. I can't even really describe what they've really done to get me like this, because really, like I said, I should not be as stressed out as I am. I don't really know why I am. But it's just everything that they've been doing has been irritating me and then I get yelled at when they can tell it irritates me. My mom will be like "Why are you being so pissy? All I asked you to do was the laundry." I didn't say a word to her, I guess I just made a face and she could tell that I was frustrated so all she does is drag it out and irritate me even more. Then I get yelled at for snapping at my brother, who has been in my face since 3:30 today when he came home from school. So right now, my mom won't let me go to bed until I fold the laundry. And in order to fold the laundry I have to wait for the dryer to stop, and I don't know how long that's going to take. Not like I can go to bed anyway because she's in my room working. That's another thing I can't stand. I absolutely despise the fact that my mom has her office in my bedroom. It wasn't so bad at first, because I liked the idea of her working at home, because I thought things would get easier and I thought she'd be home more often than she had been before, and for the most part it has gotten better. But it sucks big time because now I don't have any privacy whatsoever in my house. I can't go in my own room during the day because my mom is working in there and I can't disturb her, so I can't get privacy in my room. And then the rest of my house is always busy with people running around whether it be my brothers, my cousins, nurses, whoever ... it's just always busy. So no privacy anywhere. But the worst part is, I'm so tired. I need to go to bed. I want to go to bed. I need to lie down, close my eyes, and fall asleep at a decent hour. But I CAN'T. Because my MOM is working and I can't fall asleep in my room while she's working. Granted, if I lay down while she's still in there I will eventually fall asleep, but it's so disturbing because the light is on and I can here her typing on the computer and yapping away on the telephone. I hate it. I really do. And I tried talking to her about it and she guilt tripped me about being a part of this family and having to make sacrifices for our well-being. Bullshit. Set up your office in your own god damned bedroom. Why mine? I don't know if this all sounds stupid to whoever is reading this, because I can't do a good job at explaining WHY everything stresses me out so much. It just kind of all builds up, and since lately it's been one thing after another, it's built up pretty quickly. I just feel like my parents expect me to do absolutely everything around here. Wait, scratch that. I don't just feel like they expect it ... I know that they expect it. How pathetic. It drives me nuts. I'm not 40 years old, I can't handle everything. You want me to do better in school, well lay off on me a bit with all this shit you're making me take care of at home. Do your own dishes and your own laundry ... your own cooking and your own cleaning ... and maybe take care of your own children for a while. Then, you can talk to me about making time for school. And while we're on the subject of school and all things related ... Fuck you Mom for not letting me do set crew because it would have caused you too much of an inconvenience for this ONE week. God forbid you had to do something yourself because I wasn't home. I can't wait to get out of here. Wow, I'm going to cut myself off here because I didn't intend for my entry to be that long and angry. I'm just stressed out. I'm on the edge, I can feel it. I tried to take a shower tonight to try and relax a bit before I went completely crazy ... but not only did I get in the shower to find out that I had no shampoo left, I also ran out of hot water halfway through. So I ended up taking a cold shower and washing my hair with my mom's shampoo that smells like crap. That wasn't a big deal I guess, but I HATE cold showers. Ugh. Anyways ... I feel so rundown and exhausted. I'm tired and I want to go to sleep. All I want to do is curl up in Matt's arms and fall asleep. I need the comfort, because I feel like I'm going insane, I just can't manage to calm down. It's like every single nerve in my body is on the edge and I feel like I'm constantly waiting or something. I don't even know. I just need to go to sleep.

(1 gave me forehead kisses | Love Me) Friendships [24 Mar 2003|09:58pm] [ mood | cheerful ] Alright, I know I've posted this in here at least twice already, hehe. But I just stumbled across it again today and I love it and I think it's really sweet ... soooo in that case, I decided I'd post it once again, for those who haven't read it before. Here goes ... somewhere b e t w e e n the procrastination.... and the homework..... and the incessant forwards..... and the friendships..... and the calls to each other complaining about crushes!!...... Somewhere b e t w e e n the phone calls to old friends..... And the "I miss you's", the "I love you's"....... And the "What are we doing tonight's?"..... And somewhere b e t w ee n all of the changing,growing... Somewhere b e t w e e n the classes........ And the skipping classes...... And the studying for tests.......And the pretending to study for tests....... And the downright NOT studying for tests... I forgot.......... I forgot what school was all about. Somewhere between all the appointments and starbucks coffees, and Diet Mt. Dew's... paying bills and then not paying bills...Making plans then breaking plans... Appearing, Disappearing, then re-appearing... I forgot...I forgot what it was like to cry....... I forgot that pretending to be happy doesn't make you happy........... And that pretending to be smart doesn't make you smart ............ I forgot that you can't just forget the past in fear of the future.......... I forgot that you can't control falling in love........... And that you can't make yourself fall in love........... I learned that I can love......... I learned that it's okay to mess up......... And it's okay to ask for help......... And it's okay to feel like crap......... I learned it's okay to complain and whine to all your friends for a whole day........ I learned that sometimes the things you want most you just can't have. I learned that the greatest thing about high school and college and the working world isn't the parties or the DRiNKiNG or the hook-ups...It's the friendships, which means taking chances........ I learned that sometimes the things we want to forget are the things which we most need to talk about.......... I learned that time and can heal all things... I learned that just when you think it can't get worse-- it does... but w/ the love and support of friends--you survive... I've learned that when you start feeling bad about losing touch -- those that you've lost touch w/ are feeling the same way... I learned that letters from friends are the most important things.And that sending cards to your friends makes you feel better. But, basically, I just learned that my friends........ Both o l d and new......... Are the most important people to me in the world. AND.......without them, I wouldn't be who I am today..... So this is a thank you to all of my friends. . For always being there. And even if we're not on good terms or we have lost touch... I will always have an unconditional love for you.. ~Always and forever ~love you!~

(Love Me) AHHHH I AM IN SUCH A GREAT MOOD TODAY!! [17 Mar 2003|04:54pm] [ mood | chipper ] Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather. --John Ruskin That quote was for Jesse ... because he likes to make fun of me for loving both the snow and the sun. :-D So there you have it. That sums up everything I tried to explain today. So .... I'm not the only weird one ;) PS. Happy St. Patricks Day :)

(3 gave me forehead kisses | Love Me) Wow [15 Mar 2003|11:34pm] [ mood | excited ] [ music | alice in chains - rooster ] Amazing ... utterly amazing. I couldn't be happier :)

(1 gave me forehead kisses | Love Me) I absolutely, positively cannot wait until summer! [12 Mar 2003|09:23pm] [ mood | crazy ] [ music | pearl jam - get right ] I'm sitting here bored off my ass, so I decided to write. I'm not sure where this entry is going, but sit back and enjoy the ride. Currently, I am contemplating doing English homework. School sucks the big one. I cannot wait until April vacation, just so I can get a break. My classes keep getting worse and worse by the day, and everything just keeps going downhill. Somehow, I manage to drag my ass to school every day, but then once I get there, I spend the whole day wishing I had just stayed home to catch up on sleep. The only thing that gets me through the day anymore is seeing my friends in school. That's the only good thing about it. That, and 3rd period Band & Choir. Best part of the whole day. I despise the days when I have to miss it for fucking Pre Calc. Here's my shoutout to G3 days - BLOW ME. YOU FUCKING SUCK. Anyways, besides that, life has been good. My parents have been getting a little better with letting me have some freedom. Thus, I've been able to get out of the house to see Matt, which of course is great. Tonight we went to Wendy's for dinner with Steve Fay, Tom, and the Jess, and later we watched some home videos at Matt's house with Steve. Hilarious, too bad I had to be home so early that I didn't get to see much, but goood shite nonetheless. :) Watched The Ring twice this weekend. Twice in a row, actually - Sunday with Matt, and then on Monday we joined Tim and Jesse and watched it again. Great movie to watch with a big group of people. I'm a dork so I wanna see it again. Anyways, things have been going great. I'm so happy with Matt, and things really couldn't be much better. I feel like I'm falling so fast and so hard, but it's just so exciting that I'm not afraid of falling at all. It's amazing how many connections I've shared with this one person, and it hasn't even been that long either. He is constantly leaving me in a great mood. Kissing him is amazing, but it's not even just that. I'm happy just being with him, or seeing him even if it's only for five or ten minutes. Thinking about him puts a smile on my face, and that's all I need. :) It's an incredible feeling that I can't begin to describe. Like he says, we complete the puzzle. :) It's all just so perfect. I took a whole bunch of great pictures with the digital camera over the past couple days, and I wanted to post some on here, but it's not working, so I'm going to post them on my website so everyone can see them. I'll let you all know when they're up. :) Good stuff. I talked to Mrs. J in the nurse's office today for almost an hour. For my History project, Tracy and I are interviewing her and a few other women on what their life was like growing up, and so we talked to Mrs J today, and her stories were so interesting. She grew up in one of the best times. She said that their lives were almost exactly like you'd see on Happy Days. No drugs, no drinking, and no sex. Every weekend they would get together with all their friends and pop some quarters into the juke box and dance around all night. That was how they had fun, they didn't need alcohol and all that other shit to have a good time. I think that's great, because they had genuine good quality fun. That's how it should be. But, I'm babbling about pointless things, so I'm gonna cut myself off now. Hope everyone has a good night and a great rest of the week. :) ~Er~

(1 gave me forehead kisses | Love Me) [10 Mar 2003|10:52pm] [ mood | sleepy ] [ music | simple man - ] So LJ sucks for deleting my entire entry right before I was about to post it. Grrrr. So in that case, I'll rewrite it all ... tomorrow. Goood night :) I can see it all in an eye blink I know everything about how you are I can understand exactly how you feel Between you and me its not very far Side by side You and I With many many years behind us even words pass us by because we were always together and we will be forever such a special treasure you and I Don't speak I know just what your sayin so please stop explainin its nothing new that i've heard~No Doubt :-D

(Love Me) Hold me closer tiny daaancer, Count the headlights on the hiiiighwaaay [08 Mar 2003|12:09pm] [ mood | cheerful ] [ music | Led Zepplin - Misty Mountain Top ] So, in honor of the song being stuck in my head, I'm posting lyrics. Hehe. Sorry guys! Tiny Dancer Music by Elton John Lyrics by Bernie Taupin Available on the album Madman Across The Water Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand Jesus freaks out in the street Handing tickets out for God Turning back she just laughs The boulevard is not that bad Piano man he makes his stand In the auditorium Looking on she sings the songs The words she knows, the tune she hums But oh how it feels so real Lying here with no one near Only you and you can't hear me When I say softly, slowly Hold me closer tiny dancer Count the headlights on the highway Lay me down in sheets of linen you had a busy day today Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand ~*~*~*~ Anyways, yeah that's been stuck in my head all day. I couldn't fall asleep last night, so I watched Almost Famous at like 2 in the morning. Tiny Dancer is in that movie, so that's probably why it got stuck in my head, lol. But at any rate - great song. :) Thursday was great. Went up to Baypath for the morning, then had to leave early due to the snow, but that was cool anyway because I got home at 12:30, and slept for about 3 hours. Good stuff. Baypath was cool too, I enjoyed the food. =) After I woke up from my 3 hour nap, I somehow convinced my mom to let me out of the house, even though she wasn't too fond of me driving in the snow, lol. Went over the Lillis house for dinner, to celebrate Jesse's birthday. It was alot of fun, and Jesse looked like he was having a good time, which was great. Steph and Sarah were there too, along with the family, so it was cool. Good times. :) To repeat what Jess said in his journal entry, Thursday felt like a Friday, but even despite that, Friday was actually not too bad. Jesse and I skipped out on Chemistry, which was completely pointless might I add, but cool nonetheless because we got away with it. Man oh man. Other than that, school kind of sucked, as usual. Couldn't get out of the house at all last night, and probably won't be able to tonight, which really pisses me off because I really wanna go see Old School. I guess it'll be alright though ... it sucked that I couldn't go out last night, but it evened out when Matt stopped by to visit. May I reiterate, gotta love those suprise visits ;) What a great night. And tonight, my sister is coming over, FINALLY. I haven't seen her in months, and I miss her so much, so it'll be GREAT to see her again. Staying up late, just talking about life with her - it doesn't get much better. God I wish she lived closer. Hopefully I can convince my parents to let both of us go to the movies tonight, because that would be really cool. I'd hate to not be able to go. For now though, I'm outta here. I gotta call my sister and find out what time she's coming up, and then who knows. I'm bored. Maybe I'll clean my room so Caitlin has somewhere to sleep tonight. Hehe, yeah that would be a good idea. Release is recording today, and that in itself is amazing. Hope they're having a great time :) Have a great day everyone! Peace out yo ;) ~Jenk

(2 gave me forehead kisses | Love Me) PEARL JAM [07 Mar 2003|03:19pm] OHHHH yes. July 2nd, 7:30 pm. Tweeter Center - Boston, Mass. Section 9, Row S A-FUCKING-MEN! Sooooo amped!!!

(3 gave me forehead kisses | Love Me) It snowed :) [06 Mar 2003|10:20pm] [ mood | happy ] [ music | the who - behind blue eyes ] Happy 17th Jesse :) Hope you had a good one! What a great night :-D

(4 gave me forehead kisses | Love Me) "There is only one better than having feeling. Sharing feeling." :) [04 Mar 2003|05:39pm] [ mood | happy ] [ music | stone temple pilots - tripping on a hole in a paper cup ] I haven't written in a little while, and I've had my reasons as to why, but today I felt the urge to come home and write, so I am. The past few weeks have been filled with emotions to every extremity. Over vacation, I was faced with a choice that I hadn't intended on having to make. Things were tough, and when I came back to school, it was pretty clear what that choice would be, even though it wasn't a completely ideal situation either way. But for the first time ever, I think I made a step in the direction that everyone has been telling me to go for so long. I was never one to put myself before others. I've always tried to make everyone else happy, and if it involved me being hurt, then so be it. I didn't want to hurt anyone else. I'm not saying that I'm proud of myself for hurting someone else, because believe me, that is the last thing I wanted. But I'm proud of myself for finally saying "Listen, it's time for me to make myself happy for a change." My whole life, people have been telling me that I need to be truly happy before I can make anyone else happy. I've given people the same advice, but never taken it for myself. I believed that I would only be happy if everyone else was happy too. The past few weeks, I've come to realize that my naive beliefs were just that. Naive. Of course it would be ideal if everyone was happy with everything, but that's not the way the world works. Sometimes you have to make sacrifices to keep yourself happy, and although I wish I didn't have to make the sacrifice that I did, I've come to realize that it's true. I made a sacrifice, and even though I wasn't thrilled with the fact that I was faced with the issue in the first place, I can finally say that in the end, it worked out and I really am happy. Everything I just wrote was me babbling and trying to put into words the way I've been looking at things in my head lately. And I don't care if anyone else can understand it or not, because the point is that I do, and that's what matters. After all, this is my journal, right? Anywho, as I was saying. I have reached a point in my life where I couldn't be happier. This past weekend was amazing. Matt and I took a big step forward and stopped pretending. We finally "made it official" ;) and I'm incredibly happy. I could go on and on for hours about the happiness each of us feels, but its not necessary. Life gets better and better as the days go on and each day I spend with him is so great. People have told me my entire life, that the right person for me will come along when I least expect it. I never believed it. But I do now, and what an amazing feeling. Each day, I wonder to myself where he came from, and why he chose to be a part of my life. I'm incredibly lucky, and it really couldn't be much better. Everything with him seems so new and exciting, it's such a great place to be in my life right now. Just over the past month, he and I have made so many connections, it's an amazing feeling. It really feels so right. I'm so happy, and I know that he is too, so together we're learning and growing, finding more connections and uncontrollably laughing and smiling every day. It's perfect. As for everything else in my life, pretty much everything is going really well right now. My friends are great, although it still hurts not to be talking with Paula. I miss her, and I hope she knows that. But other than that, it's all good. Jesse's birthday is Thursday. I'm going on a field trip that day to Baypath for International Day. Last year I had a good time, so hopefully this year will be just as good. Plus I get to miss part 2 of my pre calc test too. :-D Speaking of which...shoutout to Jesse: way to blow off the big quiz today buddy. Way to make me face it aloooooone. Anyways, Nutmeg was great. Friday night and Saturday were both awesome, and I had such a good time. I got to spend alot of time with Matt, and I also got to see a good amount of the show choirs as well. It was alot of fun. I thought we did well, despite everyone's sicknesses, and hopefully we'll be able to patch up our weak spots for Waltham next month. This weekend will be good too. Old School with everyone to celebrate Jesse's 17 years on Earth. Can't wait. And Happy Yesterday Birthday to Steve Fay! But for now, I'm out. Got stuck babysitting tonight, against my will, so I suppose I should probably go do that. The boys are screaming for dinner, so as much as I am not in the mood to cook, I guess I have to. Goood night :) And thank you :)

(1 gave me forehead kisses | Love Me) Never underestimate the predictibility of stupidity :-D [23 Feb 2003|11:44pm] [ mood | laughing hysterically ] In the silent words of the Virgin Mary, come again. ~Snatch I need to have a shite!! Hahahahaha, what a movie! Wow okay so I overdid it on the quotes. Sorry guys, couldn't resist. Lol, what a great night.

(5 gave me forehead kisses | Love Me) Good times had, and more to come ;) [21 Feb 2003|12:31pm] [ mood | indescribable ] [ music | Marshall Tucker Band ~ Heard it in a Love Song ] I can't believe it's Friday already. This has been such a wonderful week, I don't want it to end. For the first time in a LONG time, I actually had a good vacation. This entire week, despite some problems here and there, I really have felt like nothing could bring me down and that everything was good for a change. What a feeling! Last Friday was Valentine's Day, and although I'm not a big fan, my day was pretty good. I stayed at the pep rally instead of following through on my original plan of leaving. I sat with the sophomore class because I'm cool like that, and we all held up a sign for Tim and cheered on him and Jess. Good times. Friday night, I had to babysit, so that sucked because I couldn't go see Daredevil with everyone, but Tom, Brendan, and Matt randomly stopped by my house for a few minutes, so that was cool. Unexpected suprises are the best. I had to babysit Saturday night too, but it was all good. Sunday I hung out with Matt for a while at Dunkin, watched some PJ on dvd, and then met up with Jess, Tim and Tom and watched Freddie Got Fingered and then went to play some pool. I suck at pool, but it was a great time, lol. It was awesome to be able to sleep in this week too. It's just like summer. Being able to go to sleep really, really late, but knowing it doesn't matter because you didn't have to wake up for school in the morning. It's been great. Staying up till all hours of the night talking on the phone until I fell asleep, and then sleeping till noon the next day ... it doesn't get much better. Monday's snowstorm was amazing too. It was so beautiful. There was so much snow, more than I've seen in a long time. I heard from my aunt today that we are supposed to get a little more snow this weekend. Although we have so much already, it'll be nice getting that little dusting to keep the snow's sparkle. :) Wednesday I took a walk with Mikey and took a bunch of pictures of the snow and of us playing in it. It was so much fun, I felt like a little kid again, and it was so refreshing. Yesterday I babysat my cousin, and she, Mikey and I went sledding on a hill in the woods at the end of her street. It was great, I couldn't have felt more alive. Sledding down this giant hill on an inner tube, trying to figure out how to steer myself to avoid any trees ... it was such an adrenaline rush. Amazing. Yesterday was a birthday to so many. Jennie's 16th, Matt's 19th, and my sister's 18th. Oh man. Happy Birthday to all of you, even though I already said that in my last entry. Last night Matt and I went to see Lord of the Rings 2. The Two Towers. What a great movie. Oh man, it was awesome. Can't wait for the third. Jesse, Brendan, Tim, Dave, and Casey went to see it too, good times. :) It was a really good night. Other than that, the weather was so warm yesterday that when I was outside playing with the kids, I wasn't cold at all. Despite the fact that we were playing in the snow like a typical winter day, I felt so alive because the sun was beating down so hard that I could feel the warmth on my back and it gave me the reminder that summer is on it's way. Words can't quite describe how wonderful that felt. This entire week has just been great, and I anticipate the weekend to be just as good. I am not looking forward to going to school Monday. I don't want this week to end at all. It's been all smiles, all week long. Doesn't get much better than that. :) Elizabeth and I have gotten alot closer this week, and it's been great. She cracks me up. It's been so much fun, I'm glad I got to share it with her. Love ya hun! I'm writing this from my cousin's house because I'm babysitting for her and Mikey again. We just ordered pizza from Pizza Hut, another reminder of summer. Ahh, *smiles*. :) Lol. Today is also my Dad's birthday, so when I get home tonight we're going to have cake and icecream, and celebrate. Life is so good. Right now, the kids are talking about putting in a dvd, so I think I'll go join them. I hope all of you have a great day, and weekend as well. Long live vacation. :) Peace out -Er

(4 gave me forehead kisses | Love Me) random quick update [20 Feb 2003|05:28pm] [ mood | crazy ] [ music | state of love and trust - pj ] So I just got home from my cousin's house. I babysat her and my brother all day today. Loooong day, especially after not getting much sleep, but it was cool. I finally got to go sledding and play in the snow!!! :-D It was alot of fun. I have to sit for her tomorrow too, but it's cool because I have fun over there and it's an excuse to get out of the house. I gotta get going now though. Christine, I hope you're feeling much better very, very soon!! Elizabeth, I'm afraid that you died. I'm calling you in 5 minutes, I hope you're alright, lol. Happy Birthday to half the world today, lol. My sister, Jennie, Matt, Kurt Cobain ... um who else?? Lol. TTYL, ~E

(6 gave me forehead kisses | Love Me) Some randomness :-D [19 Feb 2003|07:44pm] [ music | i've got a feeling - pj ] So I spent today playing with the digital camera again. Figured I'd throw some cute pictures up here. God, my brothers are adorable. :-D Mikey's failed attempt at not falling through the snow! Me and Danny ... awww!! ( A few more pictures... ) I haven't got much else to say right now. I took a walk with Mikey today and we both fell in the snow at one point and got soaking wet. Then we had a big snow ball fight with some other kids down in the Middle School parking lot. It was cool. My brothers really piss me off sometimes, but I love them so much :-D Well, I'm out for now. Gonna grab something to eat and then watch American Idol. ~*Er

(7 gave me forehead kisses | Love Me) This entry is for Tim because he had nothing to read. Lol :-D [18 Feb 2003|12:00pm] [ mood | excited ] [ music | pearl jam - light my fire (doors cover) ] First and foremost I'd like to send a shoutout to Valentine's Day (aka. Single's Awareness Day): It's a little late ... but blow me. You suck. Now that that's out of the way ... SNOW! Oh my god. This is wonderful. I'll admit that it started to suck when I had to shovel at 8 in the morning today, but now that I'm done, it's all good :-D It was so great yesterday, it was like white air because it was coming down so hard you could hardly even see the flakes. At one point last night, I opened the door to look outside and my street ... which is usually really busy and very loud ... was silent. It was crazy, but it was really cool. Like the snow just kind of quieted everything down. Good stuff. I like how everyone associated the snow with me. I counted at least 4 of you who mentioned me in your journal entries about snow. Too funny. I think I'm pathetically obsessed. :-) I talked to my sister for a while last night. I miss her so much. Her 18th birthday is Thursday, and it looks like we're not going to get to celebrate it until mid-March. It's so frustrating ... I don't think anyone understands how much I need to see her, lol. *sigh* It's been too long. Hmmm, what else to say ... I seem to have trouble with coming up with things to say lately, lol. Conversations and stuff - I've got like nothing to talk about. Umm...let's see. Life is good. Vacation is great. Staying up really late and then sleeping late in the morning is beyond great. There's snow on the ground, and LOTS of it! I have all intentions on going sledding and playing in it at some point. If not today, then tomorrow for sure. Plus I had a good weekend :) So, oh yes, life is good. Can't complain at all. Jennie, I was thinking about you and how you love snow. What a great birthday present this was, huh? I wish my birthday was in the winter so when I make a wish at 11:11, I could wish for it to snow on my birthday, lol. But then again, summer birthdays are just as fun :-D Hope everyone has a great day :) ~*Jenk ;)

(3 gave me forehead kisses | Love Me) God loves Comedy Central ... [16 Feb 2003|02:20pm] [ mood | giggly ] [ music | kevin james - sweat the small stuff ] ***It's even worse at the airport, when you go to the airport theres like a million ticket agents lined up for like a quarter-mile long. I don't like being next in line there, there's way too much pressure there. Everybody's pumped up, they're all going on vacation. They're all lookin' at you - "Hey man, you're next." "Yeah I know I'm next, shut the hell up, I know." I got my luggage, I know where it's going. And the ticket agents, they're very impatient. Right, "NEXT! I'll take the next person. Sir you're next, right over here sir. You're next. Sir I'll take you right over here sir!" Ohhh ... "SIR ILL TAKE YOU RIGHT OVER HERE SIR!" Okay I don't freakin see you, I don't know where you are. I don't know where you are, everybody's pointing - "It's over there! Go there!" I don't know, where do I go, what - what where do I go? "OVER TO THE OTHER SIDE YOU--" Sorry I didn't know, I DONT KNOW! I DONT KNOW WHERE TO GO! "Sir I am looking right at you" OKAY! That's NOT helping me! Marco!! Then you're so pissed off by the time you get up there that you don't want to go on vacation anymore. "Sir, did you pack your own bags?" No, I had an Aranian guy named Phil plant a bomb in my ass. I love the questions at the airport because they always make you feel really intelligent. "Sir, do you know what's in your luggage?" *Sigh* Noooooo .... I tied a sock around my eyes and I packed with my feet. I'm thinking hotdogs and gunpowder. That's probably it.*** "Wow, I'm sweating a little bit tonight. When you're big, you don't need a reason to sweat. You don't. You know, my friends cannot grab ahold of this concept. You know, they come up to me all the time, "Geez! What-what the hell were you doing? Jumping rope in the attic?" No I uh, peeled an orange .... About an hour ago, why? What's up?" ~*Kevin James Hahaha, God I love it. I'm so bored, lol. Talk to ya'll later. -Er

(1 gave me forehead kisses | Love Me) Load off the shoulders. [16 Feb 2003|02:02am] [ mood | relieved ] [ music | the almighty pearl ] And sometimes, there are things that just can't be left unsaid. I just wanna say thanks. I'll update more later. I'm about to pass out, so for now it's off to bed. Good night :)

(Love Me) exhausted but still going.... [12 Feb 2003|11:06pm] [ mood | tired ] [ music | unwritten law - rest of my life ] I finally showed my parents my report card today ... and suprisingly they seemed okay. My dad was very calm about it and he goes "I'm not going to bust your ass for this, but we'll have a talk later on and figure out what to do." I was so suprised, I thought I was gonna get in serious trouble. I haven't talked to my mom yet though, but my dad said that she doesn't want to yell at me for it either. *huge sigh of relief* Thank God. What a load off my shoulders. Elizabeth and Jess both got their hair cut ... I never thought I'd see the day. It took me a while to warm up to Elizabeth's short red hair ... but it's grown on me. I like it. Jess's looks great too. Man I need a haircut too. My layers are growing out. And some random quotes because I feel like it: "What is a friend? I will tell you ... it is someone with whom you dare to be yourself." -Frank Crane ^^^AMEN. So true. :) "The better you know someone, the less there is to say. Or maybe, there's less that needs to be said." -Unknown "Friends are those rare people who ask how you are and then wait to hear the answer." -Unknown "You can make more friends in two weeks by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you." -Dale Carnegie That's all for now. I didn't have much to say but I was in the mood to update. I should probably hit the sack soon, I'm exhausted. I didn't go to bed until quarter to 2 this morning and somehow managed to last the whole day without passing out. Staying up was worth it though. :) Anywho, so I'm out. Have a good night! ~*Erin PS - For Jess: 2 days till vacation. i really cannot contain my excitement.
