Adios Livejournal

2006-02-10T01:30:43Z

So its been a while since I've updated this thing and to be honest I've sort of lost my desire to keep this journal alive at all. Chances are the people who read this probably aren't too interested in what I have to say, not that that's a negative thing but there's not really a point in updating anymore if no one cares. That's what I have my deadjournal for and it satisfies all my journaly needs anyway.

Just some general things:

- School has been VERY hard. I have a paper to write almost every night and a ridiculous amount of reading to do for the rest of my classes. I won't even get started with pirates, that class is just a horrible joke.

- People seem really down lately and I like to think it has to do with the "winter-tis-the-season-for-depression!" thing but most people are just unhappy with school in general. I for one really enjoy DePaul...it's close enough to my house that I can escape and I know I can always get away when I have to. If I can go here all four years without any serious money problems I will. (Which sort of crushes my Califoria dreams but at this point I'm not ready to have an APARTMENT, let alone move that far away. Junior year maybe.)

- I've learned a lot about myself lately, good and bad. And I've learned a lot about other people lately...mostly bad. I took my New Years Resolution to heart and stopped hanging on everyone's every word and caring about what they think of me.. which is a HUGE change for me. The change makes me feel strong and sad at the same time; strong that I can like myself when others don't and sad because I wish that they would. Why bother trying to change someone's mind when there's no chance of change? God I COULD quite Brokeback Mountain right now and say something along the lines of "When you can't change things, you just have to stand them"..but I wont.

....

Or maybe this idea of newfound strength is just a lie to myself to cover the fact that I'm still unhappy. But aren't the two one in the same?

Regardless, I'm thankful that (even though I forget it sometimes) I have a wide support group that I can turn to when I feel alone. And elite workout parties make life SO GOOD. Even if it's shallow and stupid to say, I actually LIKE myself when I workout...which is a problem when I stop because then I feel gross and useless. Food shouldn't have such an effect on my outlook on myself but it does.

Anyway, goodbye for now livejournal. We've shared about 5 entries and 3 icons together and it's been fun. I'm going to retreat to my land of deadjournal and maybe I'll be back one day. Maybe.

Um..

Yeah.

The whole point of this update is to show off my icon. :)

No offense guys

2005-12-29T17:48:29Z

But I REALLY don't want to go back.

Today is my first day without a job. HOORAY for 2 days to relax! I HAD THE BEST BREAK EVER.

Happy Christmas

2005-12-25T23:09:25Z

I hope everyone has a really good day! ~~Even all you Jews out there~~ Christmas has been really nice so far, I got a lot of nice gifts from my Mom, brother, Kayla, Grandma and Grandpa, my uncle Tim, and Pat's mom and even got to sleep in today! Except all the snow melted...but I have faith that there will be more. I think I decided I'm going to buy myself a bra from Victoria's Secret as a Christmas gift to myself (that's my idea of extravagent). Hope everyone has a really nice holiday!

Stockings. Mom, Me, Phillip, and Poseidon :)

I just bought Poseidon this really neat snack food for Christmas and he doesn't like it. Who WOUDN'T like freeze-dried worms? I don't get it!

I was really bored today and did Christmas eye makeup.

Notice the poor lipstick job. Alas.

The worst part of all of this? This is ALL I did today. Hopefully sledding tomorrow? :)

I can't decide how I feel about stuff

2005-12-10T21:27:31Z

Hey all you out-of-state DePaul kids! It snowed! Not any of that "2-4" inches of snow crap either so you'll get to experience the horror up close when you get back. (With the exception of Katie and Rosie, whom I am willing to bet experience a lot more snow where they're from) And good news! The snow will continue for the next 2374987 days! Hey Matt! BUY SOME PANTS!!

My mom used to tell me that when she was really young it snowd so much people couldn't get out of their houses. Like, they could only see a quarter of their cars? I don't know if I believe it, but I've been wanting to top that record ever since I heard about it. KEEP COMING SNOW! (Just not when people are driving, then you can stop. Thank you)

In other news, I got a job at my mom's work that pays pretty darn good. Except now I'll be working 40 hours a week for the first time in my life. Dundun.

I'm bored.

Next Top Model

2005-12-08T02:04:09Z

Dude...Nicole won.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON!! EVERY SEASON I can call it and I'm totally blown away this time. Except Nicole did REALLY well on the runway...but she's SO STUPID! She presents herself terribly. But she takes stellar pictures...

I'm torn. And I miss Lisa.

This is for Matt, Joe, and Michael.

America's Next Top Model tonight!

So long straight As

2005-12-07T04:11:23Z

I got my final grades today: A, A, A, B+. B+. IN SOCIOLOGY. I HATE THAT TEACHER SO MUCH. I did ALL the extra credit I possibly could and showed up to every class and he gave me a B. HE SAID HE WOULDN'T DO THAT. That ONE B dropped me from a 4.0 to a 3.8. I hate college.

Bored

We finally had a good snow. Well, not AWESOME. Maybe like, 1.5 inches but at least it was the thick, heavy stuff.

I'm really jealous that my friends have other friends besides me.

I HAVE NO LIFE

So they have this website called My Heritage where you put a picture of yourself in there and it analyzes your facial structure and says which celebrities have similiar faces to yours. HERE'S WHAT EVERYONE GOT!

LINNI got Christina Aguilera, Kirsten Dunst, and Liv Tyler.

SARAH got Penelope Cruz, Katie Holmes, and Angelina Jolie

KAYLA got Ayumi Hamasaki(!), Drew Barrymore, and Beyonce.

JENNY got Scarlet Johansson, Christina Ricci, and Michelle Pheiffer.

SHELLY got Jodie Foster, Katie Holmes, and Hillary Clinton

LAUREN got Audrey Hepburn, Julia Roberts, and Liv Tyler

SHANNON got Naomi Watts, Mariah Carey, and Annette Benning

PAT got Andy Warhol, Christen Slater, CHARLIZE THERON

I got Emma Watson (HERMIONE!), Kiera Knightly, and Hilary Swank

Aren't random internet quizzes fun?? If you want to try one yourself, just post a new picture and chances are you'll get new results. Have fun!

My teacher STILL hasn't updated my Sociology grade...he said he'd have it up by today. Anyway, life is fine. I'm still jobless which means I've been sitting around being bored all day. The only productive thing I've done is make a purse:

Yay. I went to the UCC today to pick up my shirt and there are BIG beautiful Christmas decorations. I hope they're still up when we get back.

Photoshoot

2005-11-28T22:56:34Z

One reason why I missed Kayla: NERDINESS. When we were bored on Friday instead of cooking, shopping, or watching tv, we had a photoshoot. We have problems.

If I don't get feedback from my mom's work by Wednesday, I'm getting a yucky job on my own (IE: CVS). I need something to do.

Christmas List (In Progress)

2005-11-27T00:21:01Z

Since it seems like everyone else is doing it, I figured I'd start mine as well. Here are some things I'd LOVE:

Aromaleigh "Glissade" Mineral Foundation Color 3W
This stuff sounds AMAZING and just what I need. Plus it's almost $10 cheaper than Bare Minerals! And it lasts like 3 years!

Gryffindor scarf :) Lend me your knitting skills!
Can be purchased here for a REALLY reasonable price

Places I NEED Giftcards for
***Walmart (this place has EVERYTHING!)
**Joann Fabrics
Forever 21
H&M
Old Navy
*Home Depot (how else will I build my table?)
Michaels
Any art store

That's it. I ♥ GIFTCARDS. All of the things on the list are REALLY cheap, but that's seriously all I want. I know that sometimes people don't like getting people stuff from their Christmas lists because it's not "thoughtful" but don't think like that becuase this is what I'd like most. :D

Now I have to go find out what everyone else wants...

Linni just said something horrible. She questioned what would happen if JK Rowling were to be killed before the 7th book came out...

I would go after the person who murdered her and kill them myself! Seriously. I would drop out of college and become an assassin. Sarah, Linni, and I already have an assassin plan mapped out. I'M READY!

If you ever doubted that I was a nerd...

2005-11-20T20:51:26Z

Us walking down the street. We had a Harry, Krum, Cedric, Fleur, Hermione, Malfoy, 2 Beauxbaton students, a ravenclaw, a hufflepuff, and 2 slytherins. We were PIMP. Seriously...imagine us walking down the street.

Fred and George!! With brown hair(??)

I JUST MET FRED AND GEORGE WEASLEY! :D

I'm cooler than EVERYONE.

One week later = 133.7. Went down 2 pounds but I lost 4.5% body fat :) And I really haven't changed my diet at all...just got rid of fries and cookies.

I must eat a HELL of a lot of fries and cookies.

Hey! Bitches!

2005-11-06T07:00:51Z

I used to say "Boys Suck" but I'm changing my motto. Girls Suck sometimes. I'm sick of rumors getting out of control and ruining people's lives.

So any girls out there who used to be my friend..

FUCK YOU

Never talk to me again. I'm totally getting a sex change tomorrow.

135.629.4

2005-11-03T04:59:26Z

I AM NO LONGER GOING TO BE A FATTY! That's right my friends, NO COOKIES FOR ME. So those of you who once bribed me into performing sexual activities with you by waving a donut in my face, TIMES HAVE CHANGED! Tonight Sarah, Linni, and I began our workout plan and it went really well! It's a lot easier to do things when you have friends.

I AM INSPIRED

Granted, our divine workout plan probably won't work as perfectly as planned but it'll make me feel good while it lasts. I wouldn't mind losing 5lbs before break, but I'm mostly concerned about losing body fat (which is creeping up to obesity status.) This isn't a stupid girly, "OMG I WANT TO LOSE 10 LBS!!11!!" thing, I haven't been feeling too awesome about myself lately and I think this will make me happier :D.

In other news: We need toilet paper. Badly.

Tomorrow is Thursday which is obviously the best day of the week because I only have one class...ignoring the fact that I have an enormously important paper to write tomorrow. That minor detail can be overlooked for the sake of my optimism.

HOORAY FOR THIS MOMENT! :)

Because everyone else is doing it

The Sonnet
Deliberate Gentle Love Dreamer (DGLDf)

Romantic, hopeful, and composed. You are the Sonnet. Get it? Composed?

Sonnets want Love and have high ideals about it. They're conscientious people, caring & careful. You yourself have deep convictions, and you devote a lot of thought to romance and what it should be. This will frighten away most potential mates, but that's okay, because you're very choosy with your affections anyway. You'd absolutely refuse to date someone dumber than you, for instance.

Your exact opposite:
Genghis Khunt

Random Brutal Sex Master

Lovers who share your idealized perspective, or who are at least willing to totally throw themselves into a relationship, will be very, very happy with you. And you with them. You're already selfless and compassionate, and with the right partner, there's no doubt you can be sensual, even adventurously so.

You probably have lots of female friends, and they have a special soft spot for you. Babies do, too, at the tippy-top of their baby skulls.

ALWAYS AVOID: The 5-Night Stand, The False Messiah, The Hornivore, The Last Man on Earth

CONSIDER: The Loverboy
