so besides the wonder of being able to watch my 3 year old cousin open his gifts and be blindingly happy, and seeing all of my family and eating the most fabulous food ever, and all of my wonderul presents and gift cards that will bring me more wonderful presents…Christmas brought me a zune. and the world will never be the same. i’m definitely obsessed with it and in complete awe of it. i didn’t really know what it was before, and all i asked for was an mp3 player. my dad always pulls through, and he hates anything mac just like me…so here i am with my lil zune. i love it.

i hope everyone had a marvelous day with everyone they loved.
enjoy the rest of 2008! wooooooooooo.

white christmas

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
i hope everyone gets what they need this year, and that the next year starts off with outstretches of happiness. if we all make sure the people around us are ok, and take care of ourselves, the world would be pretty awesome. we need to stop worrying about money and politics and technology and center ourselves and our immediate worlds. we should realize that all of these accesories and advances are just additions to our natural world and we should always remember that, and not become too dependant on these silly things. it’s an incredible life we’ve got, so let’s enjoy it. =)
for all of my friends and family: i hope you find everything you’re looking for next year. i hope you take chances and never stop running towards your happiness. things change and people change and the only thing you can always know is yourself, so listen. everyone in my life takes care of their friends and family, but sometimes they forget themselves…don’t let that happen. don’t waste any days waking up hating the world or life. enjoy the small things. be present. smile.

cinnamon roll oatmeal is definitely the best.

i finally got a good night’s sleep last night, and i think it finally stopped snowing. we got more than a foot over the weekend. crazy.

i’ve been thinking a lot lately about friends and relationships and how it has all become so complicated since we became big kids. we are tied down, obligated, comforted, confused. there are lines we can’t cross; between friend and too friendly; between giving advice and saying too much; between wanting to be there for someone and then just plain wanting to be with someone.
it’s all really shady and i can’t figure it out. the lines, i mean. i feel like we’re all free people, we make our own decisions. we should go where we want to go, talk to who we want to talk to about what we want to talk about, and all of the peices will fall into place if we’re happy and do what makes us that way (without harming anyone else, of course.)
so i intended for that whole thing to be a commentary on something else, but it always returns to what’s really bugging me. but i think only kirsten could decipher that one.

anyways, christmas!! it’s close my friends. i’m proud of myself this year for sticking with a mostly positive spirit. last year, i had no reason to be down; i got home from france on christmas eve…everything was wonderful (except my episode at the airport). but the year before was pretty hellish. so this year, after spending enormous amounts of time at home prior to the holiday, i’m proud at how i’m holding up. i’m realizing that i’ll miss this when i’m (hopefully) across the country at this time next year.

blahblah oatmeal.

all that’s left to do is run

so i’m home. it’s been fun so far, a few family parties and run-ins and whatever. i’m staying at my mom’s and trying to get used to her devil-incarnate cat. it’s an innocent animal..i need to repeat that to myself. even though it has the sharpest nails ever and really i think has some cat form of ADD.

i tried to christmas shop today…i made it to one store and was scared i would get trampled or kill someone. attempt two will be later in the week i think.

i miss williamsport and my apartment and everyone. already?!! oy. i really hope bill comes to visit. he got to meet my dad and joyce and they somewhat pressured him. it was nice, they got along really well. so when we’re famous and on tour together, they’ll know i’m in good hands.

this cat isn’t gonna make it. time for a drive!

on to better things

Dec. 8, 2008 No Comments Posted under: Uncategorized

i’m wishing time would go faster, but i’m not really sure towards what. i wanted this week, and here it is. i wanted vacation until i went home for thanksgiving. now i realize, in all of my inevitable negativity, that home is so not home anymore. i don’t even have a room anywhere. it’s strange and not relaxing and the longer i’m there, the longer i realize i need to get far away.
so i guess i’m wishing time would go faster until may. the next semester will be fun, no doubt. but i want out of MA and PA. and graduation will bring that. i’ll get back from mass in january and start applying, start looking for apartments, start researching the next chapterrrrrrr.

i have one final this week, and it’s friday. then i head home for four weeks, so pleasepleaseplease get in touch with me! the more i’m out and running around, the better.

xxooo

i don’t have to wait around and see

i’m definitely writing this instead of the bajillion papers i should be writing. two more weeks full of work and then the semester is overrrrrrrrrrrr. scary/exciting.

thanksgiving break was a whirlwind…mel and kirsten came home with me and we were running around a lot, and i was sick, and sometimes the weather was bad and sometimes my family was scary, but it was a lot of fun at the same time. the sun shone right when we needed it to, and everything seemed to work out just as it should. seeing some family members and driving on the northshore roads and seeing my favorite friends was a refresher that i needed to finish up these next two weeks. i’m only excited to see more of them when i get back for winter break.

i brought back a palm tree and a guitar, along with too much food from my dad’s girlfriend. but they make me happy. i’m looking at the palm tree and thinking of happiness, and looking at the guitar makes me do the same. if i didn’t have a paper that was overdue, i would google ‘how to learn the guitar in a few simple steps.’ but alas, i should do some scholarly writing.
