(Kiss me!) ^_^ [04 Jan 2007|01:41am] [ mood | amused ] Hey hooo, live journal still existsssssss and so do iiiiii

(Kiss me!) [28 Dec 2004|06:13pm] [ mood | nerdy ] I love my mommy.

(Kiss me!) [27 Aug 2004|06:57pm] [ mood | ecstatic ] So move in was yesterday. I was worried that even a week straight of training wouldn't be enough to prepare me for the angry parents on a stressing day, but it went very well. It wasn't as hot as it was last year, so people weren't quite so cranky. I conducted the elevator for 4 hours straight. For some reason, I think mine was the only elevator actually moving because people are too lazy to conduct a manual elevator, so I dunno. I was chipper the whole 4 hours, and parents especially really appreciated my good spirits and it helped to bring them up a bit too. I was glad I could make their days a little better. My residents are absolutely awesome. I love them all so much, and we have so much fun! Yesterday we played floor 7 in volleyball and completely destroyed them. It was great! These past two weeks have been completely draining, so I'm going to take a bit of a nap before the next activity. Peace out G's

(6 kisses | Kiss me!) My letter to NBC10, I hear Monica Malpass needs to hear this too... comments welcome [12 Aug 2004|05:06pm] [ mood | enraged ] Upon watching your breaking news story about New Jersey Governor James McGreevey's resignation, I became extremely angry with your news program. After Governor McGreevey gave his resignation speech, Renee Chenault-Fattah, anchorperson for NBC10 gave a recap of McGreevey's speech. Twice in her recap Ms. Chenault-Fattah blatantly stated that McGreevey resigned "because he is gay." McGreevey DID NOT resign because he is gay. In fact, in his speech he says "It makes little difference as governor that I am gay." I am not gay myself, but I resent the implications of Ms. Chenault-Fattah that being gay has anything to do with successfully running a governmental office. Ms. Chenault-Fattah later goes on to say that McGreevey admitted to having sexual relations with a man. She left out the key information stated in McGreevey's speech about these sexual relations being CONSENTUAL with an adult. Governor McGreevey is a good man and did many wonderful things for New Jersey Communities, but in a matter of minutes, comments from your anchorperson quickly threatened to ruin his reputation and noble character. It blows my mind how this woman could be a broadcast journalist and an attorney and not be more careful with her words on public television for thousands of people to see.

(Kiss me!) [25 Jul 2004|06:38am] The weather channel says rain every day I'm at camp with the high school kiddies this week.... so here I go... off to Jersey weeeee!

(6 kisses | Kiss me!) What kind of man would hang on that long? What kind of love that must be [23 Jul 2004|04:00am] [ mood | restless ] [ music | The Edward Scissorhands Sountrack ] I'm so restlessssss. Maybe it's the new iron pill I took, or maybe it's just cause I've been getting worked up about stuff lately.... I don't know. I'm nervous about what my eye appointment tomorrow is going to find, but hopefully something can be done to get rid of my headaches. I just hope my eyes aren't getting worse. Today I came to the realization that holding hands is a very uncommon act anymore. You don't see too many couples, especially older ones, holding hands. I am so grateful that my parents still love each other and hold hands in public... it's refreshing. We've become too wrapped up in everything that we forgot about the little things. Mom and I watched a really interesting movie tonight called Buying the Cow. Jerry O'Connell is in it (he's so cute) and I had an enjoyable time watching it with her in replacement of our daily Crossing Jordan ritual. This soundtrack makes me upset sometimes for some reason. I get way too into it and start tearing up and stuff. I got offered a job tonight at a country club in Delaware. I'll keep it in the back of my mind, but hopefully by this time next year I'll be at an internship for my major. I made a lot of headway on my room tonight. It makes me feel accomplished, and it's good to have something positive to balance my frustrations. Camp starts this weekend... July 25 - July 29, then straight work, then camp again August 1 - August 5, then I move back to school on August 18. (sigh) Everybody's sleeping except me....

(3 kisses | Kiss me!) [15 Jul 2004|12:27am] [ mood | Johnny makes my knees weak ] Doctor's appt. tomorrow. Still working my butt off. The day off tomorrow will be niiiice.

(2 kisses | Kiss me!) [08 Jul 2004|01:21am] [ music | The Good Stuff ~ Kenny Chesney ] Well, me an' my lady had our first big fight, So I drove around 'til I saw the neon light. A corner bar, and it just seemed right. So I pulled up. Not a soul around but the old bar keep, Down at the end an' looking half asleep. An he walked up, an' said : "What'll it be?" I said: "The good stuff." He didn't reach around for the whiskey; He didn't pour me a beer. His blue eyes kinda went misty, He said: "You can't find that here. "'Cuz it's the first long kiss on a second date. Momma's all worried when you get home late. And droppin' the ring in the spaghetti plate, 'Cuz your hands are shakin' so much. An' it's the way that she looks with the rice in her hair. Eatin' burnt suppers the first whole year An' askin' for seconds to keep her from tearin' up. Yeah, man, that's the good stuff." He grabbed a carton of milk an' her poured a glass. An' I smiled an' said: "I'll have some of that." We sat there an' talked as an hour passed, Like old friends. I saw a black an' white picture an' it caught my stare, It was a pretty girl with bouffant hair. He said: "That's my Bonnie, Taken 'bout a year after we were wed." He said "Spent five years in the bar, When the cancer took her from me. But I've been sober three years now, 'Cuz the one thing stronger than the whiskey: "Was the sight of her holdin' my baby girl. The way she adored that string of pearls, I gave her the day that our youngest boy, Earl, Married his high school love." An' it's a new tee-shirt saying: 'I'm a Grandpa'. Bein' right there as our time got small, An' holdin' her hand, when the Good Lord called her up, "Yeah, man, that's the good stuff." He said: "When you get home, she'll start to cry. When she says: 'I'm sorry,' say: 'So am I.' An' look into those eyes, so deep in love, An' drink it up. 'Cuz that's the good stuff. That's the good stuff."

(4 kisses | Kiss me!) [07 Jul 2004|11:07pm] Has no one on my friends list really updated since the first or is lj screwed up??!?

(3 kisses | Kiss me!) [02 Jul 2004|02:11am] [ music | Just Let Me Be in Love ~ Tracy Byrd ] I saw Spiderman 2 today. I probably should have seen Spiderman first. Hrm. I pretty much knew the gist, but at times I was a little outta the loop. Anyway, it was good stuff. Better than I thought it would be. Saw Dave today. Weird how that kid just pops up out of nowhere. He wants to go see Dodgeball together, and catch fireworks on Sunday. Speaking of Sunday, Kurt's parents invited me to their shindig in Exton. It's really a shame I have to be at work, otherwise I would go. I bet it would be a lot of fun. Anyway, since I keep listening to the same songs over and over again on my computer, I decided to finally get around to burning them on a CD so I can take em with me. It'll be nice. It's strange how much country I listen to now. It's like the first thing I turn on. Hehe. Good stuff.

(Kiss me!) [01 Jul 2004|02:14am] [ mood | tired ] I've been really tired these past couple of days. Too much drama in my life. I went to sleep tonight at like 10, but lots of people called me all in a row so I'm up now. I wish I wasn't though. Gah. Back to bed.

(3 kisses | Kiss me!) Stolen from ladymeg1 [19 Jun 2004|01:48am] 1. Take your LJ username and replace each letter with the corresponding number (A=1, B=2, etc...). If your name contains numbers, you'll need to convert them to letters first before you can convert to numbers. T=20 H=8 E=5 P=16 U=21 R=18 P=16 L=12 E=5 A=1 N=14 G=7 E=5 L=12 2. Add all of the numbers together to create a kind of super number. 160 3. Note the first number, then add the digits of the number together. Noted digit: 1 Sum of digits: 7 4. Find the post of this (the sum) in your LJ. If you don't have that many posts, add the digits together again. Keep doing so until the number is smaller than your pathetic number of posts. September 13 2002 5. Take the digit you noted in step 3, and count that many words into the post. My word is "I" 6. Use the resulting word in a Google Image Search, and select a picture from the first page. 7. Post the results for us all to see! I wish thos damn construction trucks at the tracks would go away. It's almost 2 in the morning... quiet it down.

(2 kisses | Kiss me!) [04 Jun 2004|12:00am] I never update why is YOUR livejournal annoying? brought to you by Quizilla ::Debates updating:: Em.... nope.

(2 kisses | Kiss me!) I like being silly and vague [02 Jun 2004|01:23am] Ow. But woooo, yay! Boo man, I am hungry. But it is time for me to sleep. Maybe I can make a diamond pattern. That is all.

(9 kisses | Kiss me!) [27 May 2004|05:12pm] [ mood | pleased ] So things are going awesome. Training for RL officially started this week so I've had a lot of info thrown at me lately. They just bombard you with books and guides and things! So far I've completed 6 of the training sessions, which included all the basics (layout, table numbers, etc. etc.), learned all of the guiding principles and "The Compass," went over the menu, and other stuff like that. The video tapes are so corny it's ridiculous, but they make me laugh. Some of the things they talk about are such no-brainers, but whatever. Today I did my alcohols, beverages, and non-alocholic drinks. I went over all the alcohols we serve, which go best with which meals, prices, quality, policy for serving, how you actually go about serving each, etc. More videos of course. Then I got to hang out behind the bar with Ari where he showed me all the alcohol, glasses, garnishes, and such. He's the best. He tosses everything around and loves to show off, but it's fun. He broke a glass today chucking it around. Oooops! Katie is another of our bartenders. I love her! I met her before I started working there and she is def. my kind of girl. I love being around her. Erika and Tiffany are real sweethearts. They were working with me for some of the training. They get off on random tangents a lot so I'm surprised I'm getting through training as quick as I am. When they get to talking, they just keep going, and going..... Kurt is cool. He actually served the fam. before so he was the only one I've actually spoken to before coming into the job. He remembers a lot of details about me just from serving me and it's kind of freaky. He makes me smile though, and he has cute dimples. hehe :-) Andrea, Kelly, and Michelle are nice. I haven't gotten much of a chance to speak with them yet, but I'm looking forward to getting to know them better. They're all very friendly and outgoing. Kelly asked me to work for her on Sunday already as soon as I met her and I was like, uhhh... I'm new and I still dunno what I'm doing... um... yeah sorry. Apparently Jim told her to ask me, but he has no idea what he's talking about. Jim is one of my managers... really nice guy. He seems to like me a lot. The general manager, Ed, is warming up to me but everyone tells me he's not very personable. I sort of got that impression in the beginning, but he's really smiling a lot more often around me, and even pops some jokes. He's making progress! :-) Shelby is the coolest. He's another of my managers... the one I initially spoke with about actually working there. He liked me immediately and hired me without the formal interview. I thought that was very cool... he says they don't usually do that. He's fun to talk to, and has some interesting stories if you ask about them. I also met Steve today. "But you can call me 'Super Server.'" He's a funny kid. As soon as I get to working on the floor, I'll be able to see if he lives up to his self-dubbed title. This kinda gives you an idea of what my work is like. It's awesome :-)

(5 kisses | Kiss me!) [25 May 2004|04:13am] [ mood | melancholy ] My nightmares have to stop. I don't know what's going on with me, but its like I'm developing an increasing sense of paranoia about sleeping. This is 2 nights in a row I've had nightmares, and 4 in total. They're so intense, and when I finally force myself out of sleep like I just did, I have to spend time doing other things to relax myself and get my head back in order (and always with the lights on). I scream at night, I tear pictures off my walls, I sit up and seek comfort in something, I cry.... all in my sleep. It has made falling sleep and staying asleep such a chore, and is partly the reason why I occupy myself til all hours in the morning. Last time I dreampt that someone got mad at me and killed Chris to get back at me. He attached something to his ankle to make him sink to the bottom of my pool. (Usually in dreams I'm pretty good at knowing they're dreams and waking myself up when I'm upset, but I couldn't this time. I guess my occupation with the situation made me not noticed the tiny details that could have helped me know it was a dream, like the reappearance of our pool after we took it down last summer, or it's increase in size, depth, and change in location in our back yard. I was supposed to hang our with Chris or something, but I knew that he was missing. I was talking to my mom about it in the breakfast nook when our attention was drawn to the body at the bottom of our pool. There were people around the pool as dad was getting the body to rise to surface that I didn't recognize but seemed to be acquaintances with as I had no problem with them being there. And then I saw it.... dad pulled Chris's lifeless body out of the pool. He was pale and had the saddest look in his open eyes. I stared at him long and hard, crying and crying and reached out for my mom for consolation. Then I screamed out "no, Mom!" so loud that I woke myself up, which I forgot about until my dad asked me what I had been screaming at this morning. Tonight I found myself with someone I didn't recognize but knew to be a girl very close to me. Whether she was one of my very best girl friends or like a sister I don't have or cousin or something, I don't know. We were staying in the same house-hotel-y kind of thing with one middle-aged man overlooking the entire thing. Maybe we were playing some sort of dating game or something, but for some reason we were all assigned various roommates of the opposite sex. This "game" continued for a long time and each day we would assign a new rommate for another person. You never picked your own roommate, only one for someone else. As it turned out, I was picking for my friend or whoever and she was picking for another guest. On one particular occasion, I picked someone and later heard that he was one of the worst men in the hotel. He apparently is bad on many levels and tries to hurt the people he rooms with. I spent the next day worrying about her and feeling guilty for my choice. What kind of ridiculous hotel let me take someone else's living arrangements into my own hands and someone else doing the same with mine? I was angry. Little did I know, but later found out that night, that what everyone had been trying to convey to me but I was hearing wrong was not the roommate I had chosen was evil, rather, the one that had been chosen for me was evil. I never saw him, but his actions affected me. I can't for the life of me remember what he did to me though. All I remember is how scared he made me. I don't know where this hotel was (obviously walking distance or something because I somehow ended up back home) and the scene switched. The livingroom was pitch black and I was laying on the carpet. My eyes opened so wide and I started screaming, "He's here with me! Oh god help me he's here!" I jumped up and went to the light switch to turn the hall light on so I could see (because for some reason in real life I am still afraid to walk anywhere in the house with darkness behind me). The light wouldn't go on but I ran up the stairs anyway into my parents room. Only my mom was there, and the light next to her side of the bed was on. I was right in front of her facing the doorway grabbing onto her for dear life yet trying to turn on another light which also wouldn't turn on. I began screaming inchoherent sentences to my mom asking her to help me and in moments I froze completely, staring over her right shoulder in total fear with tears in my eyes, looking at a spot where I saw nothing but screamed at her, "he is right there, I see him! Oh god don't let him get me." And somehow I woke up. The worst part is being so tired, but not wanting to go back to sleep....

(2 kisses | Kiss me!) Awesome story [24 May 2004|06:36am] Taken out of Alfred Hitchcock's Anthology, Tales to Send Chills Down Your Spine. Sometimes we all feel like a ( Sparrow on a String )

(Kiss me!) Quizzes eliminate the boredom [24 May 2004|01:42am] [ mood | bored ] Non quiz related info: gas prices are still on the rise!! ( Quizzes )

(Kiss me!) [24 May 2004|01:27am] [ mood | excited ] [ music | Audioslave - Like a stone ] So tonight, Jim, Steve, Weezer, Joe, and I went to Jim's to watch SWAT. It was an enjoyable, low key night. Weezer made these awesome "Where is Why?" business cards today at work. Hehehe... they look FABULOUS!! Matt, you rock. If you're interested in following a journey to prison in the name of love, come check out Where is Why? It's in the works, so be patient! If you have any questions about the site, ask beeninthestorm or marchesani. They're awesome!! So Wednesday is turning out to be a bigger and bigger event by the minute. Samik is def. gonna be there, Matt is hopefully gonna come, I just found out today that Lil Nicky is going to be there, Melanie, Lauren, and the like. I never thought all these people would come back for it! I'm soooooo excited! ::crosses fingers that this week's schedule leaves me open for Wednesday night:: Thursday is COTA... for those of you lucky enough not to live in Sprinkleville, Celebration of the Arts is one of the biggest events here where everyone comes back to look at all the art everyone at school makes. I'll get to see all my friends, all my old teachers, and a lot of cool art! It always blows me away the things that people make. I can't wait! ::also crosses fingers to be off Friday night:: We shall see. What an awesome week this will be! :-D

(Kiss me!) [23 May 2004|01:10am] [ mood | good ] I'm in a really good mood. This morning I had a really good dream that put me in relatively good spirits despite the fact that mom annoyed me to get up before my body wanted me to get up. She came back in like 3 times with different dogs to get them to pounce on me and wake me up. Zuki defended me, learning stuff from Rocky. How funny! Despite the 3 interruptions, I still managed to fall back asleep twice and have the *same* dream picked right up where I left it. That was awesome. I got semi dressed up in that lil black skirt mom bought me yesterday. It felt nice to be casually dressed up. We went to Mary's mom's house. That was a lot of fun. Her family is nice, the food was good... an overall good time, even though it took like 45 minutes to drive out there. ;-) Her dogs are crazy, though! Bigger than our little ruffians. I can't wait for Wednesday when we have our last get together at Nova (tear). I can't believe they sold it. There's already not enough places for kids to go do stuff, and now they're getting rid of another. ::shakes head sadly:: I can't wait to see everyone again... it's going to be awesome. Sad... but awesome. Sadly awesome :-(
