i went with anne and michelle to get middle school outfits for a you guessed it...middle school themed party. i can't believe i didn't freak out at the exact replica of my awkward middle school years...navy blue skort & creme polo shirt. let me tell you, looks just as hot as it sounds.

so, after taking a class called "teaching freshman writing," i've determined that without a doubt, that i'd rather drink bleech than teach. i just don't want to, i'm glad i took this class because a. i found out i don't want to teach (at least for now, maybe in 2098 when i have loads of things published and can do whatever i want-like genetic experimentation on students) and b. i really need to work on the public speaking thing. i mean really...really. i think i'm going to try to find little ways to work on it and build it up, i'm tired of sounding like a complete idiot every time i open my mouth (i relate to brigit jones' public speaking more than anyone really should).

and im uber pumped that paige is coming up to bawston!

not again

so, I'm pullng out my phone to call my friend and it slips out of my hand and skids on the pavement to right under a cab's wheels. wtf? the last phone i broke, it happened because I groggly slapped the snooze button and the alarm clock fell right onto my lcd screen. my bad phone luck.. and of course i dont save anything to the simcard but to phone memory. the phone works so i can blindly call people at random and recieve calls, but the lcd screen is very much broken. joy. this means i would like you to pretty please send me your number. glasslullaby@hotmail.com so i can put it in the sim card of my new phone.

gross, disgusting, vile

pleh, sick. cough. and feel like someone poured creamer directly into my lungs. cough. not to mention i looked into the mirror today and saw a wretched red and pale face looking back at me. this cold winter thing, ew. my only hope is that it doesn't last much longer, all i want to be is well.

i've been neglecting livejournal for a while, only because i now work lots. i found out i got merit aid a couple weeks ago, so i'm working at emerson's writing center. yay!

paige's move to the friends only journal has me pondering about switching over myself. not that i think any outsiders read it or that i get very much drama from it...why should it be public when i really only write for my friends anyway.

Mon, 27 Nov 2006 07:17:00 GMT

I miss everyone.

I'm coming to town Jan 5th and leaving for Tampa prolly the 8th or 9th and then back to Boston the 13th. I really hope I get to see everyone.

whooohooo

Sigh. My favorite joke is out of business...the WANG theatre by my school is being renamed by citibank to an unfun name, but to me it will always be the wang.

In other news...two awesome females---meg and caitlin--are coming up to visit this weekend. i'm uber excited! i love visitors. i'm going to try to be better about this communication business, it's been hard with the school work piled on high.

we got to sign up for new classes yesterday, that always feels nice because you get a chance to mix things up. i'm going to be taking (maybe) teaching the freshman writing, poets on poetics, and forms of nonfiction. i've been going throught this debate though...i really can't take three classes, it's too much, but i want to take a workshop but i also want to take the poetry lit class...decisions decisions. actually, im not sure if i want to take poets on poetics, it seems dry...ars poetica...but i should take it...eh.

woohooo to the dems!

Does this mean I'm not spontaneous??

Thu, 26 Oct 2006 02:59:57 GMT

Its not yet January, not even December, and I already bought my 2007 planner. I was uber excited, the planner of my dreams, small yet functional also purdy and sparkely but not in the horrible hideous "I've got pink flowers and press on fake jewels" pretty (sadly, if i wouldn't have to spend a year writing in it, forgetting to look at it, catching up and then repeat, I would totally buy one). It's even got a magnetic closing device. I'm in love. Is that sad?

breakup..and no, there are no tears of sadness, except that one and the one over there

Thu, 05 Oct 2006 05:54:13 GMT

Fuck you PC's, I'm converting to Mac, 4 years but our relationship could never last. I've thought long and hard about this, at least for five minutes, maybe four. This lug of a computer just can't handle the modern world. I have to wait until the money starts rolling in (hahahahaaaaaa) and then I'll get my new computer, do they do payment plans.

In other news the new job thing is working out well, it's strange not to work for higher ed though. I like the people there a lot and it feels nice to know that you're working for the greater good. Ah nonprofit works, you sleep easier at night at least when you decide to sleep instead of posting.

I am employed once again, huzzah!

Thu, 07 Sep 2006 03:13:09 GMT

I was just about going crazy. A month. no job and too much law and order and csi, who thought it even possible? Honestly, I don't think I can watch crime shows anymore. Besides the fact they make me paranoid. When Kat was gone, I kept thinking that someone was going to break into the house and kill me in a mysterious way and Grism would have to investigate.

Whew, what a relief, now I can stop talking incessantly about how I need to find a job. Now I'm just sad that working full time will take away from the graduate experience, but it's what I need to do, and hopefully I'll be able to do internships as part of class or as extra homeworky type of stuff. I'm always afraid that I'll miss something by not doing everything, I guess I can't be hermione and have that device that will give me more hours in the day.

:) I'm happy. I start school monday and work too! I'll be working at a property law firm, yay!

Snakes on a Plane

Sun, 20 Aug 2006 20:31:52 GMT

Went to go see snakes on a plane with Kat and two Emerson kids. Amazing! The movie was tons better than I expected and highly entertaining and funny. The crowd was into it and it was great seeing Sammuel L. do his thing.

"mini" van, yea right

Sat, 12 Aug 2006 19:44:39 GMT

I enjoy getting hit by anything with the word "mini" in it like mini bus, mini trackter trailer, mini train..

So, I decided to get off my butt and do the physical activity thing. I was on my bike for about ten minutes before-wham-got hit by a minivan. I'm okay aside from a sore wrist and a chunk of skin off my leg. But, man, that makes me want to never bike again, maybe I'll just stick to running.

ah, settled, well almost

Sat, 05 Aug 2006 02:53:47 GMT

it's been rather busy, shuffling, building things (particle board, particle board). it seems like almost yesterday that I was moving into hertha house, but there weren't those 3 flights of stairs and me on the floor pooped out...well, okay maybe I was on the floor. good thing kat was there, she's wonder woman. (hmmm, maybe i could be the lazy super hero that summons icecream as a super power).

my mom keeps calling me idle and i really am sick of it, i like spending time with her, but even though i can be lazy, i always get things done. and sometimes, man, you just gotta chill, can't be running around all the time.

i feel kinda isolated, like i'm on an island. doesn't quite feel like i'm in boston yet, an alternate plane, yes. it hasnt struck me yet that i'm not in orlando and not close to my fl people. sigh.

well, i really should be working on that resume.

it's so true

long time, no see

Thu, 06 Jul 2006 11:31:39 GMT

Oh fickle time. I've gotten kind of sad as of late (shock! a declaration such as that on livejournal? what?). I'm nervous and full of anxiety about moving up to Boston. What if I make no friends? What about that lonely time period before I find a job or start school? I wouldn't want to bug kat to death or make her become tired of my presence. What if I do make friends and they just aren't as wonderful as the ones in otown and tampa? What of the florida people? What if we don't stay in contact? sigh.

So little time, so many people I want to spend it with.

Soooo, I graduated....even after making that not so smart decision to take 7 classes. I actually did remarkably well considering->5 A's, 1 A-, 1 B+. Rough semester, but totally worth the two degree frames I'm going to have to buy for the two degrees I'm getting! yay! It feels good to have a bachlers under my belt. I'm ready for whateva grad school will throw at me. Yay for moving to Boston with Kat!

I'm leaving tomorrow for Europe, five weeks, five countries with 6 friends-Paige, Dj, Kelly, Tony, Anthony, & Meagan. It still seems surreal, I don't think it will quite sink in until we've been on the plane for four hours and I'm restless and shifting in my seat, trying to find an in flight movie that doesn't have Lindsey Lohan in it. Good times.

So, I'll come back midsummer with pics n stuff (hopefully with knowledge of lj cuts..and I hear rumor that lj has albums..what?). Miss you guys. Have a fun summa (please engage in slip n slide fun--becareful though..think of Peter when you put that extra soap on..), see ya when I get back! :-)

o.k.

After going through hell these past two weeks, it's over. As unceremoniously as it started, it's over. I remember when I used expect to feel different, when I was a kid, on birthdays. You know, being a year older in all. Despite the fact that I've learned things, I don't feel any different. I'm graduating and it's over. I don't feel like a kid waiting for presents on X-mas morning. I don't feel as sad as I thought I would about leaving this place (though I am sad about friends leaving and leaving myself). What's up with that?

Stupid Internets

Tue, 18 Apr 2006 04:11:01 GMT

I should be doing work, in theory, but instead I waste time online.

chowda and the T

So, I visited Emerson College during the break, and I would like to say that I was impressed with their facilities. The library is a bit small, but I am used to the UCF one, and there is a significant population difference. They have interlibrary loan, so it's all good. I think EC will be a good match for me; I just hope that I get some merit aid.

Boston is just as I remembered it, I wish we got to explore more of the city, for some reason we kept ending up near the Quincy market. The subway is awesome! Although a bit unkept at times, I really like this public transit business. I probably won't bring the altima up, because it will most likely cost $ just to park it.

St. Pattie's day--in Boston, major fun right? My mom wanted to go get a beer at one of the pubs that had a very very long line, by that point I was cold and worn out from all the walking. I wanted to go back to the hotel---so apparently, I'm a major buzzkill.

Hope everyone had a good break :-)

who would have thought it so dangerous?

Fri, 03 Mar 2006 09:11:57 GMT

I've played the game before when I volunteered at Hillcrest Elementary--Duck, duck, Goose. Naturally, as a slightly immature person, I suggested we play this game (at least I think I said it, who knows really) at the Darfur event concert thing. Uh, well. After 5 hours or so in a hospital, I decided to become an activist against that thoroughly dangerous cut throat sport.

*edited--I wasn't the one who got hurt. My friend broke his arm.

Simply thrilled, really. :-)

Sun, 26 Feb 2006 05:23:18 GMT

Yea, I double posted this, so what? I'm very excited and bouncing all over the place (which is strange, since I'm not tigger).

I got into graduate school! Emerson College accepted me into their Creative Writing MFA program. Emerson's in Boston (a triple plus +++) and has a really good program. And is really close to chinatown (which will make my mom very happy).

Now, I can stop going insane about questions about the future.

A Call For All

Fri, 27 Jan 2006 17:16:43 GMT

Hellooo.

As posted before, I got an ipod (joy!). I discovered that uploading is time consuming and that I really don't have much music..(sadness). I only took up 5 of the 30GB I have. So, what this means is that I really need assistance as far as what I should fill the other 25GB with. Please help! I'd appreciate any suggests and/or cd borrowings.

:-)

yess!!!

You scored as Hoban 'Wash' Washburne. The Pilot. You are a leaf on the wind, see how you soar. You have a good job, and a stunning wife who loves you (and can kill people). Life is good, which is why you can't help smiling. Now if you can just get people to actually listen to your opinion things would be perfect.

I want to wear big red hats and purple dresses and boas.

Unisex Bathrooms

Sat, 11 Jun 2005 09:09:17 GMT

Today, I went to the National Women's Studies Conference with the Florida Review people. On the way to lunch I see by the men's room a sign that says something like "Unsex Bathrooms: No more Gender Divisions." This was only on the men's side of the bathrooms. Even though mostly women were there, I don't think that they should claim that there shouldn't be gender divisions and do that.

Then, i got into a conversation with people about how its gross to hear/see someone go to the bathroom, especially that of the opposite sex. Granted, I don't have a burning desire to see anyone pee. But why are we so iffy about that kind of thing? I was thinking that maybe its because when we go to the bathroom its one of the things that we are supposed to do alone.
