i haven't posted in forever. i am attempting to get my masters in media studies and the thought of blogs and the ideas behind them has come up a lot. sometimes i don't understand the idea of them. i mean, blogs are essentially a public diary. you write your opinions and sometimes things that are too personal and put them out there for everyone to read. the thing is, it's not like you discover someone sitting in your room reading your diary. you don't really know who is reading your blog all the time and what they are thinking when they do. it's a way for people to become more emotionally involved in your life, but secretly.

nothing too new in my life. munger has gotten promoted twice since my last post. i have changed jobs a couple of times, but i am hoping that something permanent that i can do forever and enjoy is around the corner. i can say that it is in the works.

i am thinking about writing a couple of books. they are brewing. i just need to type. maybe since i am bored and can't sleep, perhaps i will start now.

more to come. eventually.

soooo

this is a lot different from the previous post. munger had just moved down to the isle of longness with me and we had an awesome apartment and an AMAZING landlard (shot out to ron-o). i was attending my grad classes with an amazing group of people (and i made the deans list, 3.85, btw!!). i continued to work at the bookstore and everything and then....i wanted out of long island. neither of us was completely happy there and everything...so we figured that perhaps in may when ouir lease was up we'd move back up to vermont. that gave us time to look for jobs and plan everything out and save a little bit of money and do all the long island things we wanted to do.

plans change so easily.

mung's mom was battling cancer for awhile and although she had been in remission for awhile, we found out that her cancer had come back. it was an instant decision for me. i mean, he moved down to long island for me and how awful would it be if something happened and we couldn't make it back in time? on top of it, we were miserable in long island. it seemed like the right time to move home.

and it was. i miss my long island friends, and i really did enjoy working at the bookstore (i know, shoot me allison!), but it is good to be home. munger has a great job he enjoys, we have lots of friends, a HUGE AMAZING apartment that i love, i'm working on getting a job i enjoy, although right now i am employed...but i mean, it will all come in time.

vermont feels right. new england feels right.


"i'm a vermonta, i do what i wanta"

peace yo.

grad u ate

so still at the hof working it at the store-o-books. munger just relocated and we have an apartment right down the turnpike from hu. life's good. i dont have any complaints. after grad school i think we should move back to vermont. what do you think? its nice down here, but it will never be home. its too busy, too fast, too hectic. not enough stars. you vters know what i'm talking about. vermont is the place to be.

lovies.

its been awhile

so i haven't written since the end of last semester. i did a good job on that promise to myself to try and write everyday, didn't i? well, senior year is going well. i'm a senior resident assistant now in bill of rights (ya bill of righteous chicks!) and i love it!! my staff is amazing, my residents are the greatest...its fantastic. this semester brought a lot of responsibilities and hardships, but i'm getting through them. I'm trying for dean's list again; we'll see how that goes...

[why am i watching the military channel?]


i was thinking today how much i miss my grandfather, and how much family means to me. although sometimes it didn't seem like it. i love my family. and i can't wait to start my own...


thats it for now. i know, weak huh? o well, i'll figure it all out and hopefully will be better at writing later.


peace out cub scouts.

wow. junior year. down the drain...

i was looking at a friend from high school's profile, announcing where she was going to live her SENIOR YEAR of college, and i was like WHOA hold up. Seniors? I can remember so clearly picking out my outfit for the first day of orientation at high school. Mind you, I have long since burned those cloths cause I really wish I couldn't remember that outfit. I can remember growing away and to people, I can remember how complicated it all seemed, and how easy it would be now...I remember "love" and death and football games and boats and announcements and studying for AP Chem killer tests.....the cast parties, the sleep-overs, the boys, the girls, the proms, the trips, the dramas....


high school.


what a frickin' riot.


and then, there's college. you have this idea in your head of what you are going to be like "at the end of the tunnel" as a wise man once said (right alexis?). but am i that person? can i still be that person at the end of next year? i can think of where i want to be in five years, and if i want kids, and that i want to be married to munger....but how do i get there? what are the steps to get there?


two years ago, this time freshman year, i never would have thought i would be sitting here, at hofstra, as an RA, still with the most amazing boyfriend ever, on the dean's list and happy. never thought about it. never considered it an option. who knew that happiness was going to happen and find me on long island? it must have gotten lost somewhere between vermont and long island...maybe got stuck on the verranzano w/out the toll....whatever the cause, i'm okay graduating from hofstra. hopefully, i'll still feel the same when i graduate NEXT FRICKIN' MAY. but where will i be in june 2006?




on a different note, 21 is awesome, and my birthday was AMAZING. flowers from boyfriends rock. your best friends mom taking you out to dinner. your best friend taking you out todrinks. people buying you drinks at the bar....21 was awesome. i got to see everyone that week and celebrate it the right way. the party at home rocked, too, although to be honest, i dont remember the whole night, but bits and pieces come back now and then.


peace out. going to build a mud hut in the woods with tmack so i don't have to think anymore.

ps

ps - shot out to baby sting. i'll be waiting forever if i have to....


They painted up your secrets
With the lies they told to you
And the least they ever gave you
Was the most you ever knew
And I wonder where these dreams go
When the world gets in your way
What's the point in all this screaming
No one's listening anyway
Your voice is small and fading
And you hide in here unknown
And your mother loves your father
'Cause she's got nowhere to go
And she wonders where these dreams go
'Cause the world got in her way
What's the point in ever trying
Nothing's changing anyway
They press their lips against you
And you love the lies they say
And I tried so hard to reach you
But you're falling anyway
And you know I see right through you
'Cause the world gets in your way
What's the point in all this screamin'
You're not listening anyway



i think we'll need a good drive around town and a scream when it comes time...don't you?

i know...

i know why i've been so worried. i have a really good feeling that everything will be ok...but will it? how can i be so sure? i really can't doubt myself now.....


29 days til LA.....

worry...

have you ever been worried? about nothing in particular, but just in your gut? all your senses tell you you should be worried, but nothing has happened? i just feel so....worried and concerned and...surprisingly sad. discouraged. i just mad cleaned my entire room. i'm talking moving furniture to vaccum under it. crazy. just cause i didn't want to let myself think. i was in the city last night with the dancers, and i was concerned the whole time. maybe concerned isn't the right word....aware. i was aware of everything. i felt so old, and...responsible. it was very strange.


i'm so ready for the next step....

and it will be nice to go home.



i miss you.

let it snow....

so its snowing a lot. i guess if you are anywhere in the country at the moment its snowing. hehe. i was going to post a picture, but i can't even see out my window. so imagine a bunch of white; that's what it looks like.

i'm **trying** to be productive, but i'm not very motivated. i worked at building check-ins this morning, and was motivated when i came back, but then i had to work selling merch at the basketball game, and since i've been back, i've made a list of all the things i need to get done. and i really do need to do them now, because i don't really have any other time to do them. perhaps when i'm done writing....


i haven't written in awhile, which is normally my story. i had the best new year's i have ever had. it was so much fun! thanks tam for just rocking my world ;)

break was short this year, but at least i got to go home....


I'm going to LA in March! I'm so excited. I'm going with the national broadcasting society to their national convention, and I can not wait! it will be a ton of fun!


anyway, not to much for me. an old friend who i haven't talked to in the longest time contacted me the other day, and i couldnt be happier. keep in touch, babe (you know who you are) and it will all work out. i'm here ;)



ok, i'm peacing out. k.i.t.

i have a headache and i want to go to bed. is that too much to ask?? seems like it.


Hey your glass is empty/it's a hell of a long way home/why don't you let me take you/it's no good to go alone/I never would have opened up/but you seemed so real to me/and after all the bullshit I've heard/it's refreshing not to see/that I don't have to pretend/she doesn't expect it from me//So Don't tell me I haven't been good to you/don't tell me I have never been there for you/and just tell me why/nothing is good enough//Hey little girl would you like some candy/your momma said that it's OK/The door is open come on outside/no I can't come out today/it's not the wind that cracked your shoulder/and threw you to the ground/who's there that makes you so afraid/you're shaken to the bone/and no I don't understand/you deserve so much more than this//So don't tell me why/he's never been good to you/don't tell me why/he's never been there for you/don't you know that why/is simply not good enough/so just let me try/and I will be good to you/just let me try/and I will /be there for you/I'll show you why/you're so much more than good enough...

thristy just feels like the right word, emotion, if you will, for what i'm feeling. ok blah, it's the end of the semester and we all can't wait to break out of our cells they call rooms but i just can't wait for the day i start living. ok, ok, this is life. getting up in the morning to do mostly meaningless work that you won't use or going to sit in a class you aren't interested in and talking to a lot of people that you know you will never talk to again [or hope not to]. that doesn't seem like life to me. getting married, doing what makes you happy, having a family, a life, a home. isn't that what they [whomever they may be] have been preparing us, molding us for, our entire lives??? sometimes i don't know what the point is. education (ya and i'm sitting here hoping to one day teach!) but i want to teach to people who want to be where they are. major classes in college or a techinical or magnet school, teaching television which is what i love....i don't know. if you aren't happy, what's the point? cause then you aren't living, you are being, but you aren't living. ...


ok, friggin long ridiculous rant, i know....


got to get away from here.../got to get away from all these thinkers.../drinking up my thoughts again/got to get away from here.../got to get awa from all these choosers, losers.../all of my best friends//sit back New York City/you're not cute but you're oh so pretty/when the rain comes you fall up again.../SUNNY...you are a part of me/SUNNY...you are the heart of me//got to get away from here.../got to get away from all these people who need people.../you know it really makes me sick/got to get away from here.../got to get away from expectations, recreations, just for the sake of it//sit back New York City/you're not cute but you're oh so pretty/when the rain comes you fall up again.../SUNNY...you are a part of me/SUNNY...you are the heart of me//sit back New York City/you're not cute but you're oh so pretty/when the rain comes you fall up again...//sit back New York City friend.../got to get away from here.../got to get away from what i'm thinking.../i'm thinking.../it's too much for anyone.../got to get away from here.../got to get away from what you're drinking.../you're drinking.../so i'll take another one...

"ballet is not rocket science. it is much more complicated." -lance westergard


definately the best quote i heard today. its fannnntastic.


turkey days was good. all of them. and i am still eating turkey, even though none of the thanksgiving feasts i went to were at my house and even though i'm still not in the state that the turkeys were served in . . .

ok so this is the most mest episode of family guy ever, if that is possible. they go to a synagouge where ben stein is the rabbi, and william shatner is papa in fiddler on the roof....lol, and peter believes that if chris converts to judaism, he will become smart. lol, its great.


so ya. back to the grind for...what now? eight more days. i cant wait to be home, but its a smaller break than i'm used to which sucks. its more than a few days which is good. oh well. i love being home, no matter how long. i can't wait.



ok peace out. i'm exhausted.


love you mung. miss you. in case you couldnt tell . . . blanket larva.

tv edition of SCENE IT

dont ask about the title, because i'm not completely sure myself. its the closest thing to my comp right now. and i didn't know if HOT ASS DATE WITH ALEXIS GIANNOPOULOS was entirely appropritate ;)


rache's play is tonight! yay!! i'm verturning with the chicas to see it and its going to be loads of fun! first, ad, lex, and i are going to k-dubbs (kate and willies) for a fancy dinner, and then heading over to the west end to see my darling rachel and meet up with teri (and i'm guessing adam, too). afterwards, we will get -----! yay! its been a while since i've ----- at school. its ok. i'm thinking that we might play some scene it tonight, cause it knicks ass when your -----. i like the tv edition even better than the movie edition, because of the new features, but they both kick. lol, me and my silly obsession with board games, lol.

for ballet today, instead of me teaching which normally happens when lance doesn't feel like it or wants to do something else besides being in class (lol) we saw the beijing opera. which was weird and interesting. they talked all about pantomine, so i know he is going to relate it to ballets, which is good becuase the stupid guy was talking about it like it was the only art form to ever use pantomine. but i do believe, and feel free to agree with me here, fellow dancers, that ballet also uses pantomine. a lot of the party scene in the nutcracker is pantomine, just for one example. ooooo weeelllll.


i can't wait to finish my piece and i really, really hope i get to do it for the next show! that would be soooo amazing. perhaps even if i dont get to do it in the show, some people will want to work on it with me for MoVoM and perform it in the fall. we'll have to see how this process works. f*&%. i just realized that i have to be at a film shoot and audition for the faculty show the same day. man.....i'll have to talk to amzee....



do you like the map of my thought process here? right.

the tap choreography is coming out cool. (lol allison and lindsey) you'd have to see it and hear it to believe it. lol....


anyway, i'm so glad that my foot loves me again and is allowing me to dance much more. i hope that i can only dance more and more and never less! teaching has been uber fun this semester, and i'm hoping to get paid at least a bit for the spring semester.

time to meet the girls for our romantic dinner.


don't be a stranger . . .

FINALLY

sorry i haven't written in forever. but it hasnt let me log on the server. so i should be able to write more often now.

things are going well. i just got RA of the month for my building which is super exciting. i got A's on the television practicals i have taken thus far. and thanksgiving is next week, so i'm excited about going home. i love being home ;)



it is getting harder and harder to be far away from munger. i know what i have to look forward to when i get out of college, and i am excited about starting that life. its weird, but at the same time, its so exciting and amazing. i love him so much. . . .


i have to go to class but i'll write more later ;)

arggghhhh

yes, yes, just like a pirate would say ;)



"you know what really sucks? having a fire alarm go off in the building @ 3 am and its the fire alarm just laughing at us....." and yes, that is what my away message says today. i was thinking all day yesterday that we were due for another fire alarm....but why does it always have to be some stupid reason? it wasn't even a PERSON who did something dumb to set off the alarm...the frickin alarm set itself up....just laughing at us all...


so i'm rearranging my room and right now, the walls are mostly blank. shmeghan is gonna help me finish today. its gonna be a little bit of a process b/c we have to take my bed apart i think and put it back together. this involves getting the enterprise bin (a box attached to a dolly) and filling it up with all the stuff that is under my bed and putting it in the hallway. i moved the desk, the shelves, the fridge, and the closet all alone yesterday and realized it all wasn't going to fit how i want it to. blah.


stuff has been confusing lately and stressful, but everything is getting better, and slowly and surely, the person i've been worried about is getting better. :)


a little ode to my car pool buddies ~



Breathe in for luck, breathe in so deep
This air is blessed, you share with me
This night is wild, so calm and dull
These hearts they race from self-control
Your legs are smooth as they graze mine
We're doing fine, we're doing nothing at all.
My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me
So won't you kill me, so I die happy
My heart is yours, to fill or burst
to break or bury, or wear as jewelry
Whichever you prefer
The words are hushed, let's not get busted,
Just lay entwined here undiscovered.
Safe in here from all the stupid questions..
hey did you get some?
Man, that is so dumb.
Stay quiet, stay near, stay close
they can't hear, so we can get some.
My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me
So won't you kill me, so I die happy
My heart is yours, to fill or burst
To break or bury, or wear as jewelry
Whichever you prefer
Hands down, this is the best day I can ever remember
I'll always remember the sound of the stereo,
The dim of the soft lights, the scent of your hair
That you twirled in your fingers
And the time on the clock when we realized it's so late
And this walk that we shared together
The streets were wet and the gate was locked
So I jumped it, and let you in
And you stood at your door with your hands on my waist
And you kissed me like you meant it
And I knew that you meant it
That you meant it, that you meant it
And I knew that you meant it, that you meant it.
ya, you know who you are. . .
peace out cub scout.

dashboard

so i havent written in awhile, but i guess that i dont write often. so thats ok. the school year has kicked off and i'm homesick, as usual. its ok, though, because i'm used to being here and away from things at home and with things, that i love, at school. i got elected pre production supervisor for hfc. i love hfc and i would do anything for that club so i am super psyched about it. so i think this is going to be a good year. hectic, but good. so this is just a quick hey and a song . . .

So quiet.
Another wasted night
The television steals the conversation.
Exhale.
Another wasted breath
again it goes unnoticed.

Please tell me you're just feeling tired,
cause if it's more than that I fear that I might break.
Out of touch. Out of time.
Please send me anything but signals that are mixed,
cause I can't read your rolling eyes.
Out of touch. Are we out of time?

Closed lipped
another goodnight kiss
is robbed of all its passion.
Your thrill
another time to slack
has left me feeling empty

Please tell me you're just feeling tired,
cause if it's more than that I feel that I might break.
Out of touch. Out of time
Please send me anything but signals that are mixed,
cause I can't read your rolling eyes.
Out of touch. Are we out of time?

I'll wait until tomorrow.
Maybe you'll feel better then,
maybe we'll be better then.
So what's another day
when I can't bear these nights of thoughts of going on without you?
This mood of yours is temporary.
It seems worth the wait to see you smile again.
Out of the corner of my eye
won't be the only way you're looking at me then.

So quiet.
Another wasted night
the television steals the conversation.
Exhale.
Another wasted breath
again it goes unnoticed.

time for a nap

i am so dead tired, yo. its crazy. we've had check ins all day and i got one break, which is fine, i'm not complaining. i just am mad tired. i've had a couple people say they were gonna stop by tonight, so at least i'll have company while i'm on duty.


i'm sitting in the RA office right now and i can see all the people walking by. i have seen at least 25 couples, no joke. it's weird, because you know mung and i are together over the summer, but there are all these couples at school and they are together all the rest of the time, you know? all throughout the school year. it's hard to be away, but i definately like being here with my friends. i miss him a lot, as i'm sure you all are quite aware of. i wish i could have the best of both worlds . . .


there was something else i was going to say, but it completely slipped my mind.


i'm outtie.

Residential Life Rocks ;)

So I am a RA on the Enterprise staff this year. I love my staff. We all get along really well and we just are so lucky because of that!! I'm so psyched to become a RA, and I can't wait for my residents to get here. It should be a good year. The only thing that's odd about it is living by myself. I'm so used to living with my wonderful room and suitemates (yah Shmeg, LaurLaur, and Kin!!) and having room to roam around and be in different rooms. Now my bathroom is down the hall, and I have all my stuff in this little room. It's actually bigger than I thought it would be. And it's really ok. I'm glad I have such amazing people on my staff, cause I think I wouldn't be as happy living alone if I wasn't surrounded by this amazing people. School starts next Tuesday, and well, I guess it's time. ;)

And now it's time for bed! Leave me a note. Can't wait to see all my huers! And you Rut Bums better come visit me!!!!!
