After much pondering and reading of the archives, I have decided to shut down this particular blog for now. It is not going away, it is just moving as to allow more privacy. I have tried to promote my livejournal account for people but since you have to actually sign up for livejournal I don't think it's catching on. Still, you're more than welcome to sign up, and I'll add you as a friend so you

Wow, it's 2007! May it be better than 2006! Okay, 2006 wasn't too bad, but it wasn't fantastic, that's for sure. Highlights of 2006: Getting my kitty!!!!!Downsides of 2006: Too many to number.Oh well.Bring on 2007!!!

Pardon the foul language but I have gotten to my boiling point with this political correct bullshit. I think this subject has been hashed by some of my other friends and I don't want to steal their thunder but this is starting to work my nerves.It is now time for our society to step back and realize just how ridiculous the term "politically correct" has gotten.This War on Christmas is getting out

I know you all totally miss my stories of my ongoing battle with Cingular. I know, I totally miss telling said stories. But as I have not really had any major complaints with Verizon, there has been a severe lacking in my posts regarding my battles with large corporations. The most exciting thing that ever happened with Verizon is that we tried to switch our phones at the Verizon store and they

Today I saw the most disgusting bumper sticker on the back of Appleton's very own, albeit much toned down version of the Jesusmobile (if you are a Milwaukee native, you know what I am referring to)....Appleton's is much less obnoxious. Instead of a beat-up old station wagon it is a white car, and there is no jackass using a megaphone to tell you you're going to hell. But, the white car is

WOOHOO! The Democrats have taken control again after 12 years!! So long to the GOP and their ridiculous ways!!But to top it off - the Italian buttercream icing on the raspberry filling bakery made cake, Donald Rumsfeld stepped down!Seriously folks, it doesn't get much better than that.With a little bit of luck (it's been going so well thus far), we will have a Secretary of Defense who will have a

The "Fair Wisconsin Votes No!" facebook group that I'm in had someone post a pretty phenomenal letter found in the Eau Claire Leader-Telegram. I have to say that the person who wrote this letter to the editor pretty much summed up a lot of the things that I have been saying over and over again for the past few weeks.In short, as I can't really articulate better than the person who wrote the

I hate when I have to write a blog because I'm sad.Today I'm sad, because I received the kind of news I hate to receive.A very close family friend died about 2 weeks ago of an apparent heart attack while traveling for business in Germany. He was 52 years old.Those things make me sad because people who are that young (in the grand scheme of things) shouldn't die of a heart attack. They shouldn't

I've been reading far too much by certain conservative groups who seem to think that they can point fingers at others while absolving themselves of any sort of blame....Maybe those same people have forgotten this chapter in the Gospel of John...But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach

This is my super sexy 2006 Strato Blue Mazda 3. And yours truly with said car. w00t!!Just because I know you are curious as to why I am posing with my car - what? Your car salesman never took a picture of you with your car??How can you NOT love this car??? I know I love it!There has been a lack of posting because I have been sick.

Oh look, it's an overload of blog posts in a very short amount of time...must mean there is too much controversy in my life that I feel compelled to comment on!I roused myself early this morning, which, as anyone who knows me knows is almost downright impossible for me to do, for an 8:30am sales meeting. Well, at least it was advertised to be at 8:30, and it was supposed to be strictly about

Well it's been a year since my kitty died.And as childish as this may seem, I still miss her every single day.It's hard to lose a pet, and I think losing Bear was the hardest...she was my kitty for 16 years!!!I just wish I'd gotten to say goodbye to her instead of leaving for work on Sunday night, knowing I'd probably never get to see my baby again...But Bear, wherever you are now, I'm sure

The other day, as I was bored and perusing facebook (ah, the joys of having nothing better to do with my time)...I was clicking here and there and somehow ended up in a group regarding premarital sex and how people were against it (i don't know how i ended up there, you never know where groups are going to take you, and what's with the new facebook stalking? anyway, another topic, i'd cover it

I try to stay away from politics (except in that little presidential race where ohio SCREWED the entire nation, damn you!) in my blog, but I would just like to say that the upcoming November election is going to be key, not to mention get ready for mud-slinging!!I can't WAIT for the 8th district election. The primary was a huge disappointment. My favorite candidate lost, but luckily, not by much.

I got this in my email today from PetsMart. Now anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE my cat. But I do not love my cat enough to buy her a freaking color-coordinated bedroom set. You want to know why I find this to be pointless??Do you KNOW where my cat sleeps?? My cat sleeps WHERE EVER SHE WANTS. This could be anywhere from under a chair to the top of the couch to bed to the floor.Oh, and my cat

So it's been nearly a month since I've posted and it appears that the reading material has come to a ho-hum, so I figure that those of you non-LJ users might want an update of sorts.First things first, the Mazda 626 died. Well, not quite died. You see, the 626 was a '95, and for those of you who may be familiar with the '90s 626, you also may know that Mazda royally fucked up the transmission in

Happy birthday to meeeeeeeeeeee!It has so far been a pretty decent birthday...and it's nice because unlike the last two years, I haven't felt like I'm having to cram in everything I want to do/everyone I want to see either, hoopa!!I had to take my car in this morning - so blah to that, here's hoping that there won't be lots of money owed in the morning!

My cat eats PAPER!! No, I'm NOT kidding! I had my apartment newsletter lying on the floor (I know, I'm totally a neat freak - haha yeah right) and I was playing with kitty, and all the sudden she takes a BITE out of the newsletter and EATS it! As if that ribbon wasn't enough....Well, I guess she's getting her fiber....snicker snicker.That is all.Oh wait.Only FIVE DAYS TILL MY BIRTHDAY!!Don't

So, I made my decision. As of July 14, I will no longer be employed with my current company. I am moving on to bigger and better (and lower-paying) things with my new job...starting July 17! This is very exciting. I think I have everything worked out so that I can get by. So we shall see....

Right, this thing is still on. Though barely....lol. There have just been so many other things to do (or not do) that updating has been on the back burner. Sorry. There have been posts to the livejournal though, but not much there either I'm afraid. And for those of you new to the whole livejournal thing, you've got to be a member to read my locked entries (but it's free!). I'm not picky about

Yes folks, I went out drinking last night. It's what, the second time I've gotten drunk since I graduated from college (how sad is that??). Can I just say that my tolerance is SHOT TO HELL??? Oy vey, what a sad day.After a huge dinner full of carbs, it only took two drinks and two shots to have me passing out by 12:30. Sigh.And now I'm prepping up to go out for Katie's birthday tonight.

So, it's been about a year (or maybe longer?) since I've run a poll, but now I have a poll (ends Monday, 11:30 am, CST) that actually may have a prize attached:As you may have figured out, I'm stuck in a one-sided carpool that sucks. Nobody else from works wants to be in my shoes, so whenever I switch hours with people, I'm told not to tell my carpool (excuse me, call her Mooch) until the last

So, Mill Creek (a local watering hole on College Ave) has this wonderful thing called "80s Night" every Wednesday. Having put off my 80s night debut for the last couple weeks (though last week I had a good excuse - free tickets to a comedy club), I finally made my 80s night debut with Courtney, Katie, Mary (aka Shoutsy) and Erin. Shoutsy decided to bypass the parachute pants this time, but it was

So, after this fucking terrible weekend, I find out that my last post was another outlet of Famous Last Words (boy, those have been MIA for a while).First off, mooch-girl got a car, but it broke down on Friday morning, so hence, I had to drive her home on Friday night.Then, I get a phone call tonight saying that she can't drive her car until she gets an occupational license, and god knows when

This definitely merits a post.I'M FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!But I'm definitely poorer because of this fucking ordeal. Poorer, and there's about 450 more miles on my car because of it.Lesson to be learned kids: don't lose your license. Don't let your insurance policy lapse. Ever. And if you carpool, make sure to fucking pay your ride.And that's all I have to say.

So the two boys in Milwaukee have been found and it's a sad day because they were found dead, but there is closure in this case. The families know what happened (more or less), and now there is no just wondering what happened and where they are. There are answers.But I'm disgusted at the other breaking news from last night that kept me up past midnight just watching the news (no tonight show at

So it's been forever and a half (don't I start every post out with that?), once again. It's really because there isn't anything good to write about.Let's see.What could I write about?I could write about formal (it was fun).I could write about the importance of keeping your car insurance policies from lapsing (don't let that happen).I could write about why semi-truck drivers are jackasses (this is

Today, while at work, my day was somewhat lackluster (as usual for a Friday), so I perused the Journal Sentinel in hopes that maybe I would find something interesting on one of the recent cases that has been seemingly plaguing Milwaukee: the missing boys, the Frank Jude trial, the kid that was beaten to death while waiting for a bus....you know, the usual craptastic Milwaukee crimes that make

No, I have nothing very newsworthy to report. I'm about on the verge of a psychotic nervous breakdown thanks to work (I thought those ended in college?). But I do have a cat, and she love love love love LOVES me (who wouldn't, really). And while she definitely doesn't replace Bear as my favorite kitty (rip bear...i still miss you), she's definitely making life more fun!!!Where are pictures, one

So not much else is new aside from the tiny minor little detail that I actually have internet. Whoa. I know. It's crazy.And I have a cat. Who's name is NOT Amelie as previously discussed. And doesn't really have a name at all, save Kitty. Or sort-of Lucky. I don't know. I sort-of hesitate to name my cat Lucky as Lucky is the name of the Tanners' cat that Alf always tried to eat.

Yeah, it's hard to believe but I still have a blog. I know, weird. It's been like, forever and a half since I last posted, but whatever, life is exceptionally not newsworthy.Hmm, so what's new? Oh right, it's Wisconsin and it's Mark. As is typical, I walked out the door this morning without a coat and just a sweater and came out to my car after work to freezing rain and had to scrape off my

Why is it that Ripon has been more fun for the, what, three weekends I've been there than it was for all four years?? (Okay, definitely not true, but it seems like it sometimes, haha).So, as you could maybe tell by the title, I spent Friday in Ripon...which was much much fun!! I got to Rodman (my home!) and caught up with Jean, then met Jhenny! Yay! Much fun! We went to Big Stella's for dinner,

Okay, it's not really a contest (but if you want a prize, I'll make cookies. Maybe. My cookies usually tend to fail. Oh! I'll send you some cheese. There.)But, prize or not....the kitty is soon to be my kitty! (insert much rejoicing)...Soooooooooooo...now I need a name for the kitty....This is the only picture I have of the kitty, who has a terrible name already.So! Submit your names for the cat!

A happy birthday to my favorite (and only) little sister....only one more year left until you're legal to drink!!!I'm trying to decide whether or not to go to the ballet tomorrow - Milwaukee is doing Scheherazade and it's been since about April of last year since I've gone to be cultured and seen some good performances (wait, I went to the ripon orchestra concert last april - ripon college

As promised, I didn't post anything. I was going to, but I lost interest mid-post and gave up. Oh well. Couldn't have been that interesting.Well, I've uploaded some more pictures on my photoblog...yay! So go check those out.I hung out with Adam last night - huzzah!

So, I'm sure you're sitting there thinking, what's with the short posts? Well, I have a political post all planned out about why the state of Wisconsin rocks in my book right now, as well as why Republicans are dumb....(no offense to any republican readers)But in the meantime, do take the time to read this Eugene Kane column from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel....(you may have to register, but

I'm sorry I don't have anything exciting to post, but here's a picture of the new kitty at home. Her name is Izzy (worst. kitty. name. EVER.)...not Bear, but a sweet kitty nevertheless.I SO am going through cat-withdrawl.Anyway.So, there really isn't anything exciting going on in my life right now, but the other day, in an email, I was asked the pertinent question: "Lauren, what is it that you

And now for another public service announcement:After spending three months working for an insurance company, I have a public service announcement I'd like to think should be made into a law. People should NOT be allowed to have insurance until they UNDERSTAND THEIR POLICY!! If you don't understand your policy, you should NOT be ALLOWED TO HAVE INSURANCE.This public service announcement is

Okay, so before I get on the actual rant of the day, I'd like to get on my two pseudo rants....1. I think there is a syndrome for bras. It's called the "I Fit In the Store" syndrome, and it automatically becomes null and void after being purchased and worn for about 4 hours. And then, after having spend something like $20 on a stupid piece of fabric with some fucking wires, it becomes useless and

Huzzah, it's Saturday. The eternal day of boredom....at least for me. But alas, boredom is glorious, at least today. Though in my boredom I was somewhat productive...okay, not really. I went to the pharmacy, found out that I'm not off of my parents insurance yet (yeah, that should have happened in June, so hopefully these prescription claims won't get messy, eessh). Then I went home and made

So, today while I was shopping for the most fun of all things: soap, toilet paper, lasagna pans, contact solution and Claritin...I stopped in the toothpaste aisle in hopes that mayhaps the store would have a leftover stash of Colgate Herbal White. Alas, no luck in the Colgate department. But I did find a possible suitable substitute: Crest Whitening Expressions, Extreme Herbal Mint (it even had a

Let's see, at the very end of 2004 I did a recap of 2004, both the finer and darker moments. However, 2005 was, in a word: sucktastic (is that a word??)....A quick recap: I started second semester of senior year, I wrote my senior sem (of DOOM), I had my senior recital (of DOOM!), and I graduated. I then went to Cedar Point and worked a job (of DOOM), quit said job, bummed around in Milwaukee/

And no, I'm not Scrooge this year. While I do have to admit that the radio stations in the Appleton/Oshkosh/Green Bay area ARE out to get me (I heard the SAME song by the SAME artist on the SAME station within TEN minutes AGAIN yesterday)...and then I heard Winter Wonderland, Jingle Bell Rock, Chestnuts Roasting, and Sleigh Ride on the ride home too...but I'm not bitter.

We weren't actually, but now that 24 out of 25 of the mystery carol questions have been answered, it brings me to my next topics....First off, dear Santa, #24 was not Just Say Nowell....but dear fall '02 collegium folks, you should know this!!!!! :)Secondly, I've decided that there are only like, five Christmas songs in existance up here....and I really don't like most of them.Overplayed

I figure it's been since May since I've run the music trivia...but now it's time to spruce it up and make it holiday themed! Okay, so maybe I've taken this whole holiday spirit a bit far, but who cares? What's with this world and it's holiday cynicism anyway??There are going to be some traditional carols mixed in with recent songs written...just a warning. :)So now, you know the drill...1.

But not really given that my car is going to blow up.Okay, so I'm overly dramatic sometimes, my car is not really going to blow up.But somehow, while driving 72 mph past the Ballard Road exit on Hwy 41, my little silver Mazda 626 somehow morphed into an army tank!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, as I was contemplating the meaning of life on the way home from work tonight (haha, I am so philosophical), I decided that the good old Mazda needs a name. Now, I swore that if I ever owned a silver car, I would name it the Silver Streak II, but the Silver Streak II (after my dad's old 1988 Bonneville which was also grayish silver) doesn't seem to fit the Mazda. And unfortunately, methinks

Yes folks, it's December 1 and what does that bring?? SNOW (aka that white shit that messes up our roads)!!! I woke up this morning to snow...an inch or so to be exact, all of which was all over my car. Luckily, after the brief scrape (no pun intended) two weeks ago where I had to scrape the ice off of my car with (i kid you not) a wire coat hanger that happened to be sitting in my backseat from

So I've become the most spaz-tastic person when it comes to updating (three days in a row, then...nothing...for about a week, then something, then nothing, blah blah blah), but in my defense, my life is SO boring right now, that if I reported on daily happenings, you'd all fall asleep.Anyway, the highlight of my life this past week was two, no, three things:**Buying a Christmas tree last Sunday (

So, it's been a while...what have I been up to lately??Well, formal was last night!! Oh! So much fun! I went stag because I was ditched thanks to a friggin' poker night (what's more important in life, formal or poker? don't answer that...haha), but it was mucho fun nevertheless. I think I spent more time on the dance floor last night than the previous three-and-a-half years combined. And now I

Last night I went out with a bunch of my work friends to Riviera Lanes in Green Bay (and I still suck at bowling).

Today's rant: How movie companies are robbing us blind.So, lately there have been an influx of movies that have been released - or should I say, REreleased with a new package, a few more special features and another disc or two. And be sure to jack the price up about twenty bucks. In addition to the twenty that you can already be sure to be charged as it is a new release. This brings the

At least, some of the time. I, meanwhile, have been pretty much anything but lazy (okay, that's a big fat lie), but I have been somewhat productive. Even after four straight weeks of boring job-ville, I haven't quite grasped the concept that I don't, in fact, have to do homework (wow). So, what do I do, in the meantime?Well, things don't change all that much!! I have a list of things I should do.

I know some of you have been wondering why I have considerably declined the amount of time I spend posting. Maybe it's just that without homework, blogger is no longer a procrastination tool. With all the time I have to spend watching hours of The O.C. at a time (i'm an addict), you would think that I would have lots of time to spend writing in my blog. Of course, maybe I just don't want you to

Okay, so that was pretty lame, but then again this week has been pretty lame. Actually the last two weeks have been pretty lame, as well.Anyway, so, I'm all settled in my new apartment and I LOVE IT!!! It's SO freaking cute. I have a lot more to do before I'm all settled in, but I figure I've got at least a year here, right?? (probably more). So far I don't have much along the line of furniture

What a day.Things started going wrong as soon as I left the house. I got about halfway to work when I realized FUCK! I forgot my cell phone. Normally this wouldn't be a huge problem but since I was leaving from work to go to Milwaukee, this was kind of a problem. I don't particularly like driving long distances (not that GB to Milwaukee is a very long distance, but it's long enough) without my

So, the week has been extremely slowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. I don't know yet if I'm even going to like the job itself, because this week has been a lot of bullshit thus far. Monday and Tuesday were company training (very boring. Tuesday not as bad as Monday, but still very long AND we started a half-hour earlier). Wednesday and today were sort-of department training (and by department training I mean

So, today was day two. I'm just going to say right off the bat that I hate orientation, especially large company orientations. I had to sit through a shortened, condensed version of orientation for Columbia (back in the day) that was only like, 45 minutes long, and THAT was boring. THIS has been two days of sheer boredom!

I went apartment hunting today which was a great deal of fun...well, not really. But, all things considered, it was much better than expected, and I put in my application for my apartment today...I'm really excited! Now, let the giddiness ensue...huzzah! I don't have the apartment yet, but hopefully *crosses fingers* I will be able to move into my very own apartment on Oct 1. Yeah, can you tell

Oh-my-GOD. I can't wait until this whole working then moving ordeal is OVER!! It's not even that my family is driving me insane, but I really don't want to even THINK about packing (didn't I JUST pack?? like, my entire existance fit into one dorm room? ack). Oh, there is so much to do.You know what pisses me off? Republicans. The election was like, ten months ago. I think we can drop the

But then again, I've been lax in my actually doing any of it. In the meantime of doing nothing, I'm trying to figure out how to upload an mp3 file to my blog, somehow, because really, it's quite entertaining. For now, I'm going to refrain from elaborating in case this actually happens. :)So, I've realized that my life has felt somewhat empty since the loss of Cingular. I could always guarantee

Ack, so much to do, and only two weeks in which to do so!! Right now it's too late/hot to go upstairs and do the main thing that I should do: that being clean/sort/pack my room.I suppose I should find an apartment first...but I haven't decided where I want to live yet!!My job is located in DePere, so by all practicalities, I should really go live in Green Bay or DePere, but those may be some of

...wait, I guess that's not me!!! :) Anyway, I just got hired today, which is super exciting, and a little impressive!! I'll be working in DePere, which my mom thinks is just hilarious considering that she moved from DePere to Milwaukee, and I'll be moving from Milwaukee to the Fox Cities (I hope not DePere...no offense Leah Ann!). So, yay! I'm no longer unemployed, and I still have another week

I have had the wonderful privilege of living with my family for the past few weeks...well on and off in between trips to A-town. And while the free food has been great, and for the most part, the 'rents and I stay out of each other's hair, and I get to spend lots of time outside with my aging cat, all of this homeliness has another amusement. Yes, folks, I'm talking about my younger sister.Now,

So the post is a few days late, but I didn't realize the wonderfulness of September 3 until today...I went to check my voice mail messages on my old cell phone and found out that the phone was disconnected!!!hooray!!!!!!!!And you know what that means??? It means NO MORE CINGULAR!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! On the sad side, though, it means no more amusing phone call transcriptions/rants about how

Okay, since I'm super bored these days, and I'm just job-hunting, and so far there's nothing exciting to report (still waiting, still crossing fingers!)...so in the meantime, some Wisconsin (more specifically Milwaukee - w00t) fun! :)Things NOT to do in Milwaukee:1. Order a Budweiser2. Ride a Kawasaki3. Drive a semi or other heavy vehicle across the Hoan Bridge.4. Ask for turkey sausage at

So, my sister came to me last night with a question about Milwaukee highways. As anyone who knows me can attest, I tend to just know how to get places but not exactly know what roads to use (ie, I know where I'm going, but I can't tell you without using landmarks such as the Giant Menorah - or, the corner of Lincoln Memorial and Lake). Anyway, the following conversation ensued (more or less);

Disclaimer: Before I get started, this is all a joke. These are not real plans, they are just the pointless ramblings of two college grads looking for jobs. No seriousness is involved!!!So, Paul and I are looking for jobs. Neither one of us has had much luck so far, so we've decided that looking for a real job would be hard, and therefore, we want to turn to illegal activities instead. So, we

So, I've been up for a couple hours, which for me, is a real achievement (it's almost 11, and I've been up since 8:30. No, I didn't have to be somewhere at 9, either!). I've been writing and re-writing my resume and it still looks like crap, so I'm going to go back to the drawing board at home. Maybe without high-speed internet I'll get more accomplished. Then I'm going to send it to my uncle to

Okay, so I really am lacking in the posting department...but, I just don't have anything all that terribly exciting to say that can really be said via a blog, so I'll just give an update.I'm job-hunting. It's really pretty sucky, because I can't find anything that I even want to remotely apply for. I've been applying for a few things here and there, mostly banks, and keeping my options open. I

Only because I, erm, borrowed the Coldplay X&Y CD from him. I have all intentions of getting my own copy, eventually, but as I just dropped twenty bucks on the 2003 Live Coldplay CD last week, I'm having a hard time getting myself to buy another CD, especially considering how I have no job (and my last paycheck, of a whopping 12 hours or so, should cover the cost of the bridesmaid dress. wait, no

So....Here I am, sitting on my front porch of MY house! So long, Ohio! I bid a not-so-fond farewell to Ohio this afternoon after much deliberation after inventory hell at 6:30 am (the inventory was not so bad, it was the getting up early that was so bad....5:20am!! TWO DAYS IN A ROW! WTF!!!)....Alas, the real world beckons, and resume writing starts, well, soon. Then job-hunting (and god help me

So, I'm going to go insane. Yes, it's debatable about whether or not I've ever quite been sane, but I am definitely on the road to insanity. Agh! Okay. So, anyway.Life has been, well, interesting, to say the least. The month of August, while it has been short, has thusfar been, well, terrible. Minus a few exceptions, of course, ie, Big Bash. But that's about it, I guess.Tomorrow I have to get up

But life goes on, as much as it may pass slowly. Bah! I just got done with work, because I spent most of my day cleaning the store (thrillsville!). Not nearly as much fun as when Megan and I had to bleach the whole damn store (minus the trees because Jonathon and that Kid had to do that - bwahaha!), but nevertheless entertaining for the day. I guess. Which says a lot about my day, since we know

Well, sadly, my time at home is nearly at an end. *sniff*It hasn't been an exceptionally noteworthy time, though a few interesting moments, including ice cream birthday cake!!So, Andy took me to Olive Garden for my birthday lunch yesterday. All was good, eating salad, and then they bring another couple to sit at the table across from us. Which was fine, until I realized that every time I looked

Well, here I am back in Milwaukee for a couple of days....phew! Much relief from that work thing. Not that work has been bad, but, it's been long. And Kelly went to New York on Wednesday, so it's just been me and Betsy, and I've been getting the morning shifts. Which, though the hours are nice, especially being done at a specific time, has been a drag. I hate getting up early, for instance :) The

So, I'm now on day seven of my ten day stretch before my 4:30am train from Sandusky to Chicago (and hopefully I will make the 10:20 train to Milwaukee, otherwise Christiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnne, I'm calling you!). Well, I think it's day 7, is it Wednesday?? I mean, I think it's Wednesday, and I opened the store this morning, so I'm PRETTY sure it's Wednesday, but...I have had a messed up

I think there must be a sign somewhere that I'm missing. I mean, seriously! It's like, a non-stop friggin train of freaks that seem to think that I want to hear their life story!!! It all started last May, when creepy stalker Phil and his friends wandered on to my floor in Gold dorms and then all the sudden BAM! Everywhere I went, there was Phil. I managed to get rid of him when Obnoxious PA Matt

Ha, amusing. Oh, I want to go back home!!!! Well, I should be there in 1.5 weeks (another blasted trip to the train station at too-fucking-early in the AM, but minus Megan and Donna and Chrystina - and of course the scary little girl who ended up being the daughter of my psycho roommate's manager....), at least, for a few days (hooray).Life is going by at an amazingly fast pace (aka, much better

Arguh. So, it's June. It's mid-June, to be precise. I am going insannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnne! I have much more of a social life this year (yea Commons), but omg, if I work one more 60 hour week....Yeah, things are interesting. I'm getting way underpaid for all the babysitting I'm doing. Can someone please explain to me the logic behind hiring 14-15-year olds?? I mean, kids these days! I have been

So, two quasi-amusing things have happened. One is less funny (but will be funnier later, it's one of thsoe not funny now but will be funny later things), so I'll start with that. Today was my day off, which was very nice, even though I got home at 6:30 this morning after sleeping on half of a couch (my roommate Liz was sleeping on the other half) and then proceeded to sleep till 1 or so. Later,
