C'est si bon

its 20 degrees outside... the perfect day for sleeping in late, drinking hot coffee, and just spending all day online doing nothing...

so yesterday was fun... bridgette and i went into the city while she had class and i went into grenich village in search of a place called The magnolia bakery that bridgette said had the best cupcakes... they are amazing... but if you really want them to be amazing you have to eat them almost immediately... they get a little stale when you walk around the city with them for 9 hours in 9F temperature... i have never been colder in my life... my legs felt like needles were in them when i finally found a warm place to take refuge in...

so i did find a few christmas presents for people... you'll get them eventually... ha ha 

so i plan on taking more pictures when i find batteries for my computer... the only problem is at the most i can take 27 pictures because i have no memory card on my camera...

anyway... peace love and happiness

so here we are... 5 of us stuck in jake's house... and its so beautiful outside... the snow and the pretty trees and the fact that i can be under the covers and watching it all outside the windows.... this place is pretty big... and its warm so i'm not too scared about the fact that we couldn't leave last night and its after 1 and the streets still haven't been plowed... the point of living back east must be... don't make plans because you're not going ANYWHERE once it has snowed... and according to bridgette and kaitlin its the reason nobody made it over last night...

i sound like the dork in the house because everybody else has seen this much snow before... and although i have a few times... its actually feeling like christmas... and the bagle in my stomach is making me happy

Carlo is playing some video game with Eatern European Mob men... and i think its hilarious to hear them speak in such accents while talking about women and something about darts... and referring to everyone as cousin... shouldn't it be comrad?

ok so bridgette and i are about to play with the scythe-chette we foud in the bonus room... we don't know who felt the need for a machette with a scythe but its here... and i have to go save carlo from being killed by bridgette with an aruban machette... i dont know the difference but either way

Apparently anyone who asks you if you need a ride shouldn't be giving you one

thats the advice of the baggage carrier cart in the food court. 

So i'm here... i made it... and god do i hate connection flights. But i'm glad i got off that first plane... because i was so over being stuck in the middle and still being hungover... i just wanted to curl up by a toilet and die... 

So Minneapolis has quite a long airport... it took me almost my whole layover just to pee and make it to the gate... but on the flight into minneapolis i realized why concerts are never going on during the winter. Its because nobody is willing to take the fucking risk of driving. it was horrible weather in Minnesota. Apparently it was 9 F when i got there ... 9 F people!!! i have never ever been in whether that cold!!! so i'm really excited to be here... 

so i've just made a new friend with a girl from germany who is attending Rutkers in New York and we're just talking about life and school, traveling and computer stuff. i love it here

i drove today in New Jersey and it was insanely scary because of the screeching creepy sounds coming from the front of the car and well we made it back alive... but i met jake and we had fun... i almost made the mistake of  screaming "surprise" at kaitlin in the library where she works

(update 12.19.2008)

I went into the city aroud noon today with bridgette. walked around the metropolitan museum for about 2 hours, then i found dean and deluca to grab a red velvet cupcake... and then being so amazed with the snow and beauty of everything i ended up getting lost in Central Park for over an hour and when i tried to find my way back to to the met i got even more lost. apparently no one in new york knows where the hell 7th Ave is and i even had one person ask me if there WAS even a 7th ave... they made me question my own self of where the metro drop off was...

anyway amazing day. kaitlin is here and spending the night and we are watching house. so its insanely addicting and i gotta go... luv ya all... especially you bridgette...

sex, music and amazing trips,

Maja Iverson makes me want to be Swedish

so its just been a busy busy week... finals start tomorrow... my 25 page paper is due and i'm about on page 19... so i've still got a bit of work to do....

just wanted to get on here... say hi to everyone who actaully reads this... and update by saying that as much as i love christmas... our house, especially my room, is very unfestive. For a few reasons. A- i dont have the time B- i don't have the money nor do i have anything christ-massy of my own except for ornaments (and no tree) C- whats the point? i leave for new jersey on the 18th and won't be home until after new years.

I'm hella excited though... its really starting to settle in that i'm on my own. I mean i see mum from time to time and although i do my own grocery shopping and stuff like that, the whole not talking to parents for sometimes weeks at a time, the spending holidays away, and making decisions about tattoo's on my own is really making it sink in soon.

So i'll be getting a tattoo design of the fleur de lyce (sp?) by bridgette behind my left ear sometime between now and school going back next semester. Its so weird to not have to ask or tell my parents. Um... John will be coming with me so that'll be fun... i can use all the moral support i can muster because i've totally forgotten about any pain or the taking care of tattoo's since the last one over 2 years ago.

so yeah... everything is going great.... jsut wanted to wish everyone a very merry christmas and i'm very very excited that my paramore goodie bag will be arriving shortly... seriously though... they said during the week of the 15th they're shipping them out... but i hope its rush delivery and they mail it the 15th ... because i leave for New Jersey hella early thursday morning and i really really can't wait until after the new year to find out what the hell is in it!!! GAHHHH!!!

lol ok so Almost acoustic christmas... this saturday and sunday... sadly i can't afford to go and i am not having much luck at winning tickets... but c'est la vie... another year perhaps...

je t'aime

just to let you know... i never stopped

so as much as it sucks to lose friends and relationships, what sucks the most is the no closure part... no closure with jarrett, no closure with melody, no closure with stacy

Oh, oh, how could you do it?
Oh I, I never saw it coming.Oh, oh I need an ending.
So why can't you stay
Just long enough to explain?
You can take your time, take my time.

Father, oh father, are you ready, to let it begin, cus i am here now, i want to dance in the bloody palm of your hand
