man i'm so proud of my cousin! he leaves at the end of the month for this school in pennsylvania... he's enrolled in a 1 year program that will get him his associates and teaches car stuff (mechanics i guess?) along with some business and accounting to get you prepared for the possibility of starting your own business. i'm so proud of him and i ( Read more... )

this is the most, and most often, i've written in awhile. probably since the ol' xanga days when i'd write two or three times a day to absolutely no audience.

i just finished a book that i think everyone- especially if you're afraid of dying itself- should read. it's called 'veronika decides to die' and i guess it explores how the reality of death ( Read more... )

great night. just really great. it's nights like this that i especially hate coming home.  we all convoyed out to the plains and 10 of us sat down and a fairly nice restaurant, 'the rail stop' (or something?) and spent way too much money on dinner. new guy was with us, new guy being steven, one of erik's friends from school who is staying with erik ( Read more... )

i was at the pool yesterday and this guy is there a lot that i used to swim with. he never liked me. he and kristi would taunt me and if i was laying out he'd come over and sit on me and call me fat. it didn't do much for my self esteem at the time. anyway, i keep seeing him at the pool and while i don't expect him to come over and sit on me and ( Read more... )

it's funny how a weekend doing nothing can leave you tired afterwards, lol ( Read more... )

so it was one of those days where i'm stuck in traffic, it's 90something degrees and i don't have ac. plus, i'm wearing pants. not just pants, THICK brown pants because i had to be dressed appropriately for the 9 previous hours i'd spent smiling at strangers. and on top of being tired and hot (understatement) i'm hungry. not just 'i could eat' but ( Read more... )

so the combination of not really having internet plus being REALLY busy makes it hard to journal. i don't remember if i wrote about my belly, but in case i did- it's feeling much better, thanks! i can eat again, a definite plus, and i don't wake up anymore ( Read more... )

so my stomach hurts... still. you know the way it hurts when you're really really really hungry... and you're pretty much going to freak out if you don't eat? well it feels like that, except it hurts worse when i eat. and if i poke it, it hurts worse. and if i drink anything, it hurts worse... so i dunno what to do about all of this. i woke up like ( Read more... )

yesterday was painful. i did some more apartment shopping with lotus and had lunch at eden center... apparently they pretty much don't take credit anywhere there, lol. the apartments in merrifield i think are still our number ones but we found a close second in falls church... with another roommate i'd totally be game, it'd mean paying less than ( Read more... )

despite my totally NOT 16 outfit, everyone at the table we sat at for my sister's award night was surprised to learn that not only was i not in highschool, but i'd just finished my second year of college. lame-o. my mom swears it's a good thing, haha ( Read more... )
