Haven't posted in a while so what the heck? [30 Sep 2006|12:31am] [ music | "Stars Are Blind"- Paris Hilton ] This is quite possibly one of the best things that has ever happened to me. After months of pleading, begging and downright manipulating, Lance finally gave in and bought me a little ba doo Toby. She is a 5 week year old pug and we get to pick her up from the breeder next weekend. Anyone that knows me, knows how much I have wanted a pug (hence my blog titled sad little ba doo, where I said I NEEDED one.) Here is a picture of and her sister----she is the one on the left.   Tell me she isn't the most precious thing ever. I am going to spoil her rotten and I can't wait to dress her up in obnoxious outfits---especially since Halloween is so close!   All of this has come after one of the best and most exciting months of my life. Saturday will be one month since we moved in….it's crazy because I feel like we have been here forever. Living with Lance is pretty much what I expected it to be. I think it was kind of smart that we basically lived together before taking this permanent step because we knew what we were getting into. I know all of his (gross!) habits and he knows what a needy, selfish psychopath I am.   Anyways, our apartment is awesome for us. It is the perfect size---two full bathrooms, two bedrooms (one which is now affectionately called Dupree's room.) We have the majority of our furniture, but we still need a dining room table and a computer desk. I try to keep it as nice as I can, and most of the time Lance is good about cleaning. I kind of let him off the hook though because he does all of the cooking. Thank God, because I have never cooked anything besides Sponge Bob Mac and Cheese. And strangely enough, domesticity seems to suit me. I guess when it is your home and you are paying the bills, there is just a certain sense of pride that goes along with it.   So things are good….really good. I am very happy and I hope that this lasts a long time Comments: 1 Heart - Be Heartable.

Best quote ever.... [02 Jul 2006|02:17pm] [ mood | calm ] "If I push too hard it's because I want things to be better, I want us to be better, I want you to be better. Sure I make waves, I mean you have to. And I'll keep making them till you're everything you should be and will be. You'll never find anyone as good for you as I am, to believe in you as much as I do or to love you as much." Comments: 1 Heart - Be Heartable.

So I guess this is growing up.... [26 Jun 2006|12:48am] [ mood | nervous ] [ music | "Damn It"- Blink 182 ] So this has been one of the most eventful weekends of my life. On Friday night I got home (Lance's home) and his roommate informed us that he wants Lance to move out because of "personality differences." Now I could go on a huge rant about why his roommate is a psychopath but I will spare you all the boring details. Well this info obviously sucked because we love this house, this neighborhood, this location, etc. Plus it is a really good deal and I basically get to live here rent free. So after talking for a bit, Lance and I decided that we were going to ask his mom for money to buy a townhouse/condo. She surprisingly agreed, and said she would give us all the money for a down payment (about $30,000) and we would have to be responsible for the mortgage (around $700 a month, plus utilities.) So now we are looking for a place in Washington Township for us to move into by the end of the summer. I am really excited but nervous. Obviously I have never lived with a boyfriend before so this is all new to me. I mean we basically live together now, but this will actually be our home. We will be responsible for all the cleaning and filling the house with furniture and paying all the bills and stuff. It is a huge responsibility. Pus, I dont know how I am going to break the news to my father. He loves Lance and is really happy we are together, but it is just the fact that his precious baby girl will be "living in sin." Anyway, I just wanted to write something to clear my head and take in the fact that I am really am growing up. The past few months have been so emotional and so draining with graduating college, working hardcore and now all this. Hopefully, everything will work out for the best. After every storm, comes a calm. Comments: 1 Heart - Be Heartable.

Wow, I sitll have one of these things? [30 May 2006|11:43pm] [ mood | mellow ] [ music | "Hips Don't Lie"- Shakira ] So it has been a while since I wrote but unfortunately for me and the two people that read this, Livejournal is now blocked at Comcast which greatly reduces the number of entries I can write. Beat street right there. I am officially a college graduate. It is exciting and scary at the same time. While I am sad to leave my friends and the irresponsibility of the college lifestyle, I am definitely ready for the next step of my life. The next 10 years or so are the big ones---career choices, marriage, kids. I had an awesome 4 years in college and I wouldn't change a thing but a part of me feels finally ready to grow up. Before all that seriousness though, I am going to Cancun with the wife next Monday. We are both super duper excited. I have been reading lots of reviews online and our hotel has gotten great ratings. The resort is all inclusive and has five different restaurants and three bars to choose from. Plus, we are only a few minutes away from the major clubs which you know Kappa Katie will definitely be hitting up. God help Cancun is all I can say..... Comments: Be Heartable.

I find myself just fillin' my time with anything to keep the thought of you from my mind [14 Apr 2006|03:36pm] [ mood | accomplished ] [ music | "Where Did You Go"- Fort Miner ] Just wanted to write a quick update since I have been MIA lately. I have no clue what I have been so busy doing---I think it is because I actually have lots of stuff to do at work now as opposed to the nothingness I did before. Life is good I must say. Only 4 more weeks until I am a college graduate which is crazy. As far as plans for when I graduate, I am going to stay at Comcast for as long as they will have me and hopefully force them into giving me a full time gig. I have no problem in staying here----I love my co-workers and the work is interesting and challenging. It would be perfect if they did offer me a gig but who knows what will happen. This past week Kaitlin and I planned what will surely by the climax of our adventures together----a trip to Cancun. We were able to able to convince our parents to help us pay for it as a graduation present, which is awesome. Needless to say, we are both ecstatic and talk about every hour, on the hour. We are leaving on June 5th and staying at an all-inclusive resort. It is going to be an adventure indeed. Our Monday night drinking excursions are insane----I can’t imagine what a week in Cancun is going to be like. This weekend should be nice. No definite plans for tonight but tomorrow Lance and I are hitting up Olde City with Pat, Megan and Tara, some our comedy friends. I am mucho excited as I haven’t been to Olde City in a few months and would greatly enjoy a good margarita right about now. Sunday is Easter and we are spending the day enjoying some good food and some quality family time. Oh and I dyed my hair back to its normal blonde hair color, which is a huge adjustment. I was digging the brown highlights I had for the past year or so. But I figure now is the best time to be blonde since it will soon be summer. I’ll post some pictures soon (I would post them even if I didn’t have a new hair color cause I clearly am obsessed with pictures anyway!) Comments: Be Heartable.

Best weekend ever [20 Mar 2006|12:53am] [ mood | relieved ] [ music | "Up"- Shania Twain ] Well thankfully, I am in a fantastic mood. I heart Kelli Sita like whoa, my boyfriend is amazing and I go back to school tomorrow! The art museum was so nice. Lance and I ran up the flight of stairs while I hummed the Rocky theme song and he plotted my death. We walked around all the exhibits and managed to get yelled at several times for "not wearing the museum pin" and "standing too close to the paintings." Only us.  St. Patty's Day was also heartable. Kelli and I had a great time at happy hour and I took her car bomb virginity. I also got to see all her Puta Cana pictures. Majorly jealous. If I don't get to go somewhere tropical soon, I am going to be pissed. Alright time for bed. This girl has a f-ing 9:25 tomorrow :( Comments: Be Heartable.

"You're the one mistake I didn't mind" [16 Mar 2006|11:07am] [ mood | blah ] [ music | "Better Days" -Goo Goo Dolls ] Well spring break 2006 is coming to an end. While most of my peers were in some tropical resort downing fruity drinks and basking in the sun, I was spending a fun filled week in front of my Comcast computer. I really have no one to blame but myself though. One, I am incapable of spending money and two, I am incapable of leaving Lance for more than 24 hours. Note to self: end your life now.   Things have been kind of yucky lately and I can’t even pinpoint why. I guess I am just going through a funk in my life where I am unhappy with a lot of stuff. I have no clue what I am going to do when I graduate, where I am going to live, how my life is going to end up, etc. I was bitching to my mom about this and she said that I should consider myself lucky to be young and have so much opportunity in front of me. I guess so….but it is certainly scary.   Also, I have decided that I just suck at relationships. Every time I am happy, I allow myself to be for about 5 seconds and then I start trying to sabotage it. I am so lucky that I have been blessed enough to date boys that handle my shit. Take Lance for instance---he can say ONE thing that rubs me the wrong way and I act out totally inappropriately. I won’t talk to him for hours, won’t sit near or touch him and I immerse myself into something mundane, like staring at my cuticles. Or God forbid we are at a bar and he says something dumb. I promptly find another guy, blatantly throw myself at him and ignore Lance when he tries to talk to me. I really am immature and I really need to start working on some of these issues. Because honestly, one day he is going to wake up and realize that all my aggravation isn’t worth it.   I am very excited for this weekend. Tomorrow Kelli is coming down and we are going to St. Patty’s happy hour at Landmark. Holler at green beer and Irish car bombs. And then on Saturday Lance is taking me to the art museum, which I am so excited for. I haven’t been to the art museum since I was like 9 and I totally didn’t appreciate it then. After that, we are having dinner in the city and then ending the night at Mahogany, AKA our little haven. We actually haven’t been there together in a few weeks so it will be extra nice.   Well I might as well do work instead of looking at the current Top 20 country songs. I hope everyone has a fun and belligerent St. Patty’s Day.   I wish everyone was loved tonight And somehow stop this endless fight Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days Comments: 3 Hearts - Be Heartable.

Apparently I wear foundation on my cleavage [03 Mar 2006|11:11am] [ mood | lethargic ] [ music | "Beep"- Pussycat Dolls ] Sooooo hungover. Thank God I am taking a half-day and only staying until noon today because I am hurting. I drank like 4 different types of alcohol last night and smoked cigarettes like my life depended on it. Now, I am suffering the consequences and contemplating throwing up in my work trash can. That would certainly be lovely. This week has been pretty fun. I have been at Landmark way too much though. Since my ban has been lifted, I have been making up for lost time and going like three times a week. It really is pathetic. Wednesday nights are certainly the best there because it basically is a gathering of everyone I know. Plus, how can you not love $1 Coors Lights? Operation seduce and screw hot freshman is underway. Basically there is this beautiful freshman who is in my acting class and as luck would have it, the teacher assigned us to be partners. Now that would be wonderful in itself, but the teacher actually assigned the dialogue too. And our whole scene is him trying to have sex with me so there is lots of kissing and caressing. I almost fell over when I read the script. So yesterday he (hot freshman) comes up to me at the end of class. I listened to him blabber on about the dialogue as I nonchalantly fucked him with my eyes. We made plans to hang out this weekend and “practice” (although the only thing I want him to practice with me is his oral sex skills.) So we shall see what happens. Of course, I am madly in love with my boyfriend and he has a girlfriend but if it is for school, it can’t be considered cheating. However, I did tell Lance that hot freshman and I were going to pull a Brangelina on his ass. LOL. That’s about it for me. Lance’s friend, Jenks, is visiting from Texas. Today we are heading to the grease trucks in Rutgers for some unhealthy food and then probably heading into Philly tonight. Tomorrow Kabes and I have to go see a play for school, which should be interesting. Oh and Lance’s roommate Mike might get a new puppy, which would make me very happy. Although, it won’t be a pug which is clearly the one animal that would make me happiest person ever. Comments: Be Heartable.

There must be an angel with a smile on her face when she thought up that I should be with you [16 Feb 2006|11:01pm] [ mood | grateful ] [ music | "You're Beautiful"- James Blunt ] How come every time I sign onto livejournal, it becomes more jazzed up? The home page has all these options and pictures and stuff. I am not complaining, I am just not used to all this change.   Anyways, my Valentines Day sucked. If you know Lance and I, you will understand why this is so appropriate. Of course we can’t ever have a romantic holiday that goes smoothly. I spent half the night in tears and the other half furious. Lesson learned: don’t ever set yourself up to think a day will be special just because it is February 14th. The most special days are those random nights that come unexpectedly when we are lying in bed just being stupid.   On a happier note, I have had lots of fun with my friends lately. Last night Mary, Lauren, Jeff Judge, Justin, and of course Kabes and I all met up at Landmark. The night was full of debauchery although I was able to avoid downing a million lemon drops like I normally do. Danielle also was there, which was fantastic since we haven’t both been at Landmark together since September. And may I just say she is the most adorable cripple I know? I am so happy that she is still managing to drink with a broken ankle. I wanted Lance to come out, but being that I am clearly dating a senior citizen, he opted to stay in and watch television. Boring! Hopefully, we can convince him to come out one night soon.   It’s the middle of February already, which means I only have about 3 months of college left. I can’t believe that school is almost over. I really need to start enjoying it more. It’s like I bitch about classes, my dump apartment and the insipid Rowan student population, but I know it is all stuff I am going to miss when I graduate. Plus the thought of getting a job and working 40 hours a week makes me want to throw myself off a bridge.   That is about it. Of course I am going to add a picture. This was from the bas mitzvah Lance and I attended last weekend for my step cousin. They had a photo booth and of course us being the retards we are, we had to jack it up and make this stupid, but hilarious picture. When we get married and I make a slide show for our reception, this is going to be the last picture. (Wow, is it sad that I already have this planned out?)  Comments: Be Heartable.

New TV show obsession [05 Feb 2006|01:46pm] [ mood | creative ] [ music | "Goodbye Earl"- Dixie Chicks ] I swear to God, I live for the weekends. I don’t know why because it isn’t like my school weeks are all that difficult anyway. My course load is a joke, I get to sleep until noon on Tuesday and Thursdays and I go out drinking whatever night I want. But still the weekends are nice to do whatever you want and spend time with your loved ones. My week was pretty good. I felt kind of crappy in the beginning of the week, so I stayed in and rented stuff from Blockbuster. I rented "The Wedding Crashers" and some "Nip/Tuck" DVDs. I have never watched "Nip/Tuck" before but I must admit, I am now hooked. I love discovering new shows, especially when I can watch them over and over again on DVD. I am just mad that there isn’t a new season for me to watch for a while. Now I just need to get Lance hooked and we can have another obsession similar to our "Six Feet Under" one. Kelli and I went and saw "Cabaret" on Friday night which was really good. It was really good just to see Kelli in general since I haven’t seen her since Christmas break. We went to R Macs first for dinner and then headed to the theater. Kel entertained me as always with her funny stories and off the wall comments. Love that girl like whoa. Yesterday Danielle and I went to Chillis for dinner. It was soooooo good, as it always is. My poor Danielle is crippled right now due to her broken ankle but she was getting around a lot better than I expected. After dinner, Lance and I headed to the cigar bar and had a nice evening. Lance’s mommy is coming down this afternoon and we are having a little Super Bowl party. Actually, it will just be Lance’s roommate and the three of us so it won’t really be a party, but whatev. She is going to make us dinner and I am going to purchase a 12 pack so that I can attempt to act slightly interested in the game. But in reality, I don’t care. In my opinion, the only Super Bowl that was ever fun was last year when Lance, Kabes, Jamie, Reese, Bobby, Ray and I were all Landmark for the game and they had green beer towers. Now THAT was a fun day. Alright I guess that is it. Time to head to the gym and burn off those beer calories. Peace out kids. Comments: 2 Hearts - Be Heartable.

Finally back in action! [27 Jan 2006|11:13am] [ mood | ecstatic ] [ music | "Don't Bother"- Shakira ] So after 4 months of being banned from one of my all time favorite bars, I am finally back allowed in Landmark! Thankfully, I was able to grovel and apologize and the manager took mercy on my sloppy soul and told me I can have one more chance. Thank goodness. It actually isn’t even the bar so much that I love, but just the people that gather there. Basically my whole PR class goes there on Wednesday nights and after the semester of work we will be doing in that class, it will be fun to get bombed with them. Plus, I know that during senior week a lot of people go there and I would hate to miss out on that belligerence. Anyways, Wednesday was spent going to classes all day----9:25-4:30, YUCK. Then Kabes and I went to Chillis with Jeffrey, which was delicious and enjoyable. Jeff and I spent dinner the same way we spend every dinner----trying to make the other one have a nervous breakdown. When Kabes and I got back to the apartment, we started pregaming and watching "American Idol." This is really the first season I have watched that show and I have always made fun of people who were obsessed with it. I must sadly admit though that I am now hooked and will probably watch it all season. I love that pretty little blonde who got to Hollywood on Tuesday night. Her dad was in prison and her mom like abandoned her. She was so cute and had a really pretty voice. Finally we went to Landmark with Jamie and Josh. We had lots of fun as lots of our friends were there. Ray was there being the homosexual he is and lots of PR people were also present. They also have The Spot open now on Wednesday nights for "Wacky Wednesday." I am very happy to be allowed back in and hopefully I don’t screw up again. Kait and I stayed until close and then walked home with some of Ray’s friends. It was so cold! Yesterday I had class and then had to work until late. Lance and I went to Chillis (second night in a row for me) and then came home and watched "American History X." When he went to bed hours before me as he inevitably does because I am dating a senior citizen, I read A Million Little Pieces by James Frey. I started reading it last week but got really into it last night. I know there is all this controversy now because everyone is bitching about how he lied and shit, but it is still a very engrossing book and I would highly recommend it. It really is one of those books you just can’t put down. Now I am at work putting off doing anything productive as usual. I have to go to a dance show tonight in the city for one of my classes and then Lance and I are hitting up Mahogany (surpirse, surpirse.) I will end with some of the pictures I promised. Hope everyone has a great weekend. Kait taking a nasty shot at Mainstreet and my very shocked and surprised face. LOL. Classic Kappa Katie. Me forcing Kait to take a gangsta shot, which she obviously isn't as into as I am. I think it has to do with my ghetto booty. My other little brat, me and Santa. Poor Santa can't take one picture with his eyes open. Comments: 1 Heart - Be Heartable.

[24 Jan 2006|05:22pm] [ mood | groggy ] [ music | "Shake That Ass"- Eminem ] So last night started the first McGinty Mondays of the semester and as expected didn’t disappoint. After the very hectic day I had yesterday (classes, errands and getting a root canal!) I was hardcore in the mood to drink. Kait and I started pregaming around 8ish and after a very unfortunate incident involving me “wet heaving” Mary came and picked us up. We met up with Adam at Mainstreet and started drinking. The night was very fun with Mary’s infamous jokes, Kait and I taking dumb pictures and the retelling of some our classic drinking stories. Good times indeed. It would have been a perfect night if I hadn’t awoke this morning soaked in my own piss because I am an asshole and peed the bed for 9th time in my life. I hate myself. The past few days have been tumultuous. From now on Wednesday, January 18th will be forever known as the day I died. The day started off normal until about 6:00 when I awoke from my daily nap to the worst stomach pains I have ever experienced. At first I thought I had ate something bad but after spending the entire night in the bathroom and being unable to even keep water down, I realized it was some kind of bug. It was wretched and even now, my stomach doesn’t feel 100 % better. On the plus side though, I did lose 4 pounds. Lance had two shows at Rascals on Saturday night. Reese and Bobby came out which was very nice. I think he did okay, but Lance is convinced he bombed so he was lots of fun that night. (Note the sarcasm.) So I did whatever I do when Lance is pissy and I want to get back him: I drank lots of alcohol and flirted with the other comics. I am such a wonderful girlfriend aren’t I? That’s about all for now. I haven't posted any pictures in a while but no worries, there will be a plethora of them soon. Comments: 1 Heart - Be Heartable.

Some hearts have the stars on their side [12 Jan 2006|04:32pm] [ mood | indifferent ] [ music | "Some Hearts"- Carrie Underwood ] Well Christmas break is winding to an end, which is upsetting because I feel like it just began. I am looking forward to going back to college, just not going back to classes. Luckily though my schedule shouldn’t be all that difficult. Kaitlin and I scheduled all our classes together, I am only taking 12 credits and three of my four classes are BS classes. Stupid PR Planning will probably be the death of me though. The past week has been quiet but fun. On Friday Lance and I met up with Mary and Adam at PJ’s. We were having fun but it was really crowded. So after an hour we decided to just head back to Lance’s apartment and drink there. We played some Never Have I Ever and some Kings. Then Mary and I started our kick ass rendition of “Traveling Soldier” and various Carrie Underwood songs, which soon led to karaoke ordered through Comcast On Demand. See, even drunk, I am all for promoting Comcast. What a good employee. Those mother f-ers better offer me a good job when I graduate. On Saturday my mom took us all out to dinner for my sister’s birthday. We went to Iron Moto, one of those Japanese restaurants where they cook the food in front of you. When Lance and I got home, we watched a few hours of television and then called it an early night. We are such an old married couple it is ridiculous. While most of our peers are out getting hammered on a Saturday night, we are at home watching "Law and Order." Awesome. Anyways, I hope that everyone enjoyed their break. This is my last Christmas break from school EVER. That is insane. I don’t know how I grew up all of the sudden. It seriously seems like just yesterday that I met Kaitlin at orientation and now we are gearing up for our last semester of living together. It’s going to be very sad when I have to leave her and all my college friends :( I wish I could go back and do it all over again. Comments: Be Heartable.

Finally got around to doing this [10 Jan 2006|11:59am] [ mood | accomplished ] Goodbye 2005!!!! 1. What did you do in 2005 that you'd never done before? Got banned from a bar, had a serious relationship with an older man (only 4 years but MEH), and seriously calmed down. 2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year? Didn't make any last year and won't make any this year. 3. Did anyone close to you give birth? No, but my Reeses is soon to be one hot mama! 4. Did anyone close to you die? No, thank God 5. What countries did you visit? Just the United States 6. What would you like to have in 2006 that you lacked in 2005? The ability to not worry over such petty shit and the ability to give people more of a chance without writing them off so quickly.  7. What date from 2005 will remain etched upon your memory, and why? Novmeber 1---it was Kaitlin's 22nd birthday and it was the day Justin came home from Iraq.  8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?  As shallow as it sounds, winning over Lance. That kid was not easy to reel in! But with some time, patience and a break up threat, I now have him whipped hardcore.  9. What was your biggest failure? Hurting people. 10. Did you suffer illness or injury? For most of the spring I had a UTI which led to several bed wetting incidents. Well that and the 10 beers I chugged before I went to bed. 11. What was the best thing you bought? Mmmmm....I really like my Tiffany's jewelry cleaner---all my stuff looks much more silver now. 12. Whose behavior merited celebration?  Lance Udasco. While he can be a handful at times, I have never dated somone that just "gets" me. We share the same view point on so many things and he makes me laugh so hard. Plus, he knows how to keep me sane when I am really upset or mad about something. Lance is far from perfect, but he is perfect for me. 13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed? My little brother Billy's. He has just become the most selfish person in the world and he has completely abandoned my entire mom's side of the family. 14. Where did most of your money go? Alcohol!! 15. What did you get really, really, really excited about? My summer vacations, the three weddings I attended and Justin's homecoming.  16. What songs will always remind you of 2005? Winter- "Caught Up"- Usher Spring- "Don't Cha"- Pussycat Dolls Summer- "My Humps"- Blackeyed Peas Fall- "Because of You"- Kelly Clarkson 17. Compared to this time last year, are you: i. happier or sadder?: Happier ii. thinner or fatter? I feel the same iii. richer or poorer? Richer, but just cause I charge everything on my credit card. 18. What do you wish you'd done more of? Working on my friendships and working out. 19. What do you wish you'd done less of? Picking fights with Lance and crying. 20. How did you spend Christmas? I opened presents at my mom’s house, then my dad’s house. Then I ate dinner at my dad’s house. Finally, Lance and I drove around and looked at Christmas lights. 21. Did you fall in love in 2005? I did indeed. 22. Did you have sex in 2005? Once or twice :-p 23. How many one-night stands? Zero. 24. What was your favorite TV program? "Six Feet Under" and "Laguna Beach." Those two shoes were my life because I am clearly pathetic. 25. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year? Lance's cunt ex-girlfriend.  26. What was the best book you read? "I Am No One You Know" by Joyce Carol Oates. 27. What was your greatest musical discovery? Gretchen Wilson 28. What did you want and get? An apartment in Edgewood, my perfect haircolor, and Justin home for my birthday.    29. What did you want and not get? A pug. 30. What was your favorite film of this year? "March of the Penguins," seriously the cutest movie ever. YOU MUST SEE THIS MOVIE! 31. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you? I was 22. The night before my birthday Kabes, Ray, Justin, Jamie and my mom all came with me to PJ's where I got beyond sloppy. On the next day, my actual birthday, Lance took me to San Miguel for dinner and gave me my presents. The night ended with lots of shnuggling and some "Six Feet Under" viewing. 32. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying? Being more secure in my relationships with others. 33. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2005? Different than it used to be. I go for a lot of greens and browns now cause I think they look good with my hair and eyes. Also, I don't own nearly the amount of cleavage baring shirts that I used to.  34. What kept you sane? Keeping a private journnal because it helped me realize how much I obsess over stupid things that I have no control over. Plus, it was nice to have a place to vent all of my  feelings.  35. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most? Hands down, Jimmy Norton, which is funny since I didn't even know he existed until January of last year. 36. What political issue stirred you the most? The war in Iraq because it is apparent that there is no end in sight. There have been so many innocent lives lost and so much money squandered on this war which can never be won.   37. Who did you miss? Justin while he was deployed and Ashley. I haven't hung out with her in ages. 38. Who was the best new person you met? All of Lance's comedy people---Kris and Jason from Rascals, Tara Young, Pat House, etc.  39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2005: Don't think you know how your life is going to turn out. It is great to have a plan and make goals, but more often then not, things don't turn out like you expected. God has a way of throwing a curveball your way and putting a major kink in your plans. Just have faith in him that everything will work out  and don't forget to pray everyday. 40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year: There's some things that I regret, Some words I wish had gone unsaid, Some starts, That had some better endings, Been some bad times I've been through Damage I cannot undo, Some things I wish I could do all all over again, But it don't really matter, When life gets that much harder, It makes you that much stronger Comments: 2 Hearts - Be Heartable.

This is a little late but MEH [06 Jan 2006|10:50am] [ mood | sad ] [ music | "L.O.V.E"- Ashlee Simpson ] Christmas and New Years were wonderful. On Christmas I got lots of money and gift certificates, the Tiffany’s mesh ring and two new pairs of Steve Madden shoes. I spent New Years with the two loves of my life, Lance and Jim Norton. What better way could I ring in the new year? Christmas Day started at my mom’s house. My sisters and I opened our presents, and miracle of all miracles, my brother Billy actually came over. I think it was the first time we were together as a family in over a year. My poor mom. After that, we headed to my dad’s house and opened more presents. My younger brothers each got their own X-Boxes, which is ridiculous. They so don’t deserve it, but whatever. Lance and my family came over around 3ish and massive amounts of food were inhaled. My parents had a huge stocked bar but Lance had me on lock down and forbid me to drink because he says I get too sloppy and mean when I am drunk (wow, I have never heard that before.) So instead of killing five cranberry and vodkas like I hoped, I sipped on Diet Coke. BORING! After the party, Lance had the adorable idea of driving around and looking at Christmas lights. That was really nice and it was sweet to have some time just to ourselves, since we were surrounded by dysfunctional relatives for the previous 48 hours. Last Tuesday night, Danielle and Kelli came over to my house since my mom was out of town and I was dog sitting. We sat around playing Kings, which I sucked at. We decided to trek to PJ’s, which was surprisingly crowded for a Tuesday night. We only stayed for one beer, but it was long enough to meet some horrendous Hartman and the Jewish DJ who kept on trying to mack it to me. When we came home, we drank some more and then called it an early night since poor Kelli had to work at 7:00 am the following day. I have lots more to write about including McGinty’s party and the funness I had this week with Kaitlin and Danielle. I will wait until I have more time and not one million papers waiting to be filed though. I hope everyone has a happy and blessed New Year. Comments: Be Heartable.

"Jesus take the wheel, take it from my hands, cause I can't do this all on my own" [23 Dec 2005|11:26am] [ mood | enthralled ] [ music | "Jesus Take the Wheel"- Carrie Underwood ] Wow, tomorrow is Christmas Eve! I am so super duper excited. Food, presents, family, boyfriend, 24 hours of “The Christmas Story,” alcohol, board games and happiness. What could be better?   I got three of my grades back, which is a miracle. Normally I don’t receive my grades until like the 2nd week of January. Holler at Richard Earl for giving me a much-undeserved B+ and holler at Bob Tulini for wanting to fuck me and therefore giving me an A. Whoever said good looks don’t get you anywhere clearly never had the plethora of perverted college professors I have had. I also received an A- in Ed Streb’s class but my appearance had nothing to do with that. That was all meticulous note taking and arduous studying. Now all I have left  is Women in Lit and Creative Writing II, both of which I should receive an A-, making my semester GPA a 3.7. Not perfect, but pretty darn good.   Not sure of the definite plan for tonight but I would imagine Mahogany and then who knows. Hopefully Fado or Mexican Post. Although after the crap load of presents I have bought this week, I should probably chill with the money spending. I still have to get four more presents too. BARF! Lance is the only person on my list who got real presents, everyone else got gift certificates cause that is what they asked for. I bought Lance the complete collection of Calvin and Hobbes (GAY! I know. And not only is it gay, it is $105 gay.) Plus he is getting new dress shirts for work and a zip up hoodie. He got me a gift certificate for an hour massage and facial and…….JIMMY NORTON TICKETS!!!!! How exciting is that?   Anyways, I am going to end with another survey because I am bored out of my mind at work and need anything to make the hours go by faster.

But do you like making out, long drives, brown eyes and guys who just don't quite fit in? [21 Dec 2005|12:02pm] [ mood | satisfied ] [ music | "So Impossible"- Dashboard Confessional ] Well I officially have only semester of college left. A part of me is thrilled that I am almost finished with school. No more papers, no more college housing, no more horrible food, no more annoying PR people. But another part of me is devastated. Especially since this year hasn’t really been the fun collegial experience I was hoping for. I guess that is what growing up is like. While I adore my life and the way things are now, a part of me gets nostalgic for freshman year. I was so irresponsible. Drinking all the time, making out with random boys, skipping class, and just being stupid and young. I guess people can’t live forever like that though. ANYWAYS, now that my semester is over, it is back to the grind known as Comcast. Christmas break is always the best time to work because nothing gets accomplished. Everybody is on vacation, there are a plethora of lunches and dinners and people are just in the holiday mood. I hope this holiday mood sticks when my boss gives me my yearly review on Friday. My paycheck would definitely appreciate a little boost. The past few days have been enjoyable. Lance and I puppy sat on Saturday afternoon for my mom’s sheltie, Shayna. Besides my future pug, Toby, I have never seen as cute a dog as Shayna. She is such a good little doggie too---when Lance and I took a nap, she all nestled her little head in between us and was licking our faces and stuff. I am so in love with her it is ridiculous. Afterwards we headed to---where else-----Mahogany. Since we are becoming "regulars," the waitresses accommodated us and let us sit by the fireplace. It was so nice and relaxing. Lance got annoyed with me earlier though because I felt it necessary to pour Coors Light in a water bottle so I could pregame in the car. Me: (in a singsong voice) "Your girlfriend is an alcoholic." Lance: (also in a singsong voice) "This isn’t news to me." I am so excited for this break too because I can’t wait to spend quality time with my friends. Kelli is coming home today and now that she is finally 21, we can all go to the bar together. Plus, I am hoping I will get to see Lauren a few times and I know Kate should be home soon, if she isn’t already. And my lover Mary is a having a little pre New Years festivity, which my sloppy ass will surely be attending. It should be a good holiday season...... Comments: Be Heartable.

I'm an ass [11 Dec 2005|10:07am] [ mood | loved ] So being the pompous asshole I am, I made a bet with Lance last night over Ron Howard's brother's name. He claimed it was Clint and I was like, "NO, it's something else." We bet a cigar over it. So this morning I all creeped out of bed to sneak to the computer to make sure I was right. But lo and behold Lance was right (as always.) It's fucking Clint. Mother f-er! Anyways, that was kind of pointless. Yesterday was the one year anniversary of Lance and I meeting. But, it took us several more months to realize that we were in love with each other. (Actually, it took Lance several more months, I am still debating if I am really am or not....J/K.) But we had a nice day....we went into Philly during the day where I got my Tiffany's ring he had gotten me sized and he got some cigars. Then he had a comedy show, which went very well. Jeffy came with me, which was very cool of him. I got liquored up and ended up buying Jeff a Captain and Coke. WTF? Jeff must have known I was very drunk as I never do nice things like that. Finally, Lance and I headed to our new little hangout, Mahogany, aka the cigar bar. It was so nice. There was a Christmas tree that we sat by and we were all cuddled up on the couch. It was the perfect ending to our day. And then when we came home, Lance gave another present----a "Six Feet Under" nightlight. Well, it's not really a nightlight, but a box light. It is so cool, and the perfect present because Lance knows I am a spaz and afraid of the dark. Okay, I am going to end this entry because I am obviously still drunk. How crazy is it that Christmas is only 14 days away?   Comments: Be Heartable.
