5:57 pm	i suck at updating live journal. oh man. blame it on the ancient PC that kicks me offline every 5 or so minutes. yes, totally not my fault... ok, so montreal. some key words here: drinking, beer, mado, natives, french drag queens, drinking, public intoxication, sex & the city (season 4), customs, beer, free beer, crepes, bath houses, rainbows, bad french, and drinking. feel free to inquire about any or all of the above. basically, it was a total blast. i'm really excited to be moving back to boston on sunday! its been a long summer and its gonna be really nice to be home. i'll admit, however, its been really hard saying goodbye to people. i left tara's house for the last time today feeling happy that we got to be such good friends this summer but sad that we were leaving. i strangely miss work, too. everyone there threw me and tara a surprise ice cream party on our last day of work which was really sweet. we all got really tight this summer and we're all gonna visit each other and stay in touch. so bear with me on this one, but i need to shout out to my esta-peeps! - to tara, abbie, lindsay, erin, laura, kalie, lissa, brian, nik, aaron, pam, martha, kim, bean, and becky: thanks for the greatest summer!! :) up and coming, i'll be doing laundry and packing. a lot. i'm chilling out with the other coolest erin ever tonight to do a little drinking. tomorrow looks like a beach day, maybe a ride on the bike, haircut, and saying goodbye to some people in portland. talk to y'all soon keep rockin and rollin Current Mood: hungry Current Music: Kelly Osbourne (Comment on this)

3:53 pm	"if we drink long enough then we won't get hungooooover!" oh paranoid social club, how did you so perfectly write an anthem for my summer?? extraordinary. yeah, so my past few weeks have been spent doing some working, crashing on friend's couches, shopping, tanning on the beach, trying (and failing) to become a cardinal puff, and drinking to gary oldman with the sharon to my ozzy (along with congealing, non-contagious body fluids, and 1995). hope to do THAT again soon! good times. looking forward to my next 2 days at work being in the garden and then a girls night out with the coworkers on friday night - we're probably looking at galactic bowling and then some drunken cranium :) beyond that, i'm excited to leave for montreal in less than 2 weeks! i get to experience 4 days of being "of age". watch out canada. i'm coming to party usa style :) heh, ok, time to watch room raiders. laterzzzz Current Mood: alive (2 Comments |Comment on this)

12:13 pm	"Don't fear your best friends, because a best friend will never try to do you wrong. And don't fear your worst friends, because a worst friend is just a best friend that has done you wrong. And don't fear the night time, because the monsters know that you're divine. And don't fear the sunshine, because everything is better in the summer time, summer time (CHORUS) And it's never too late to start the day over It's never too late to pick up the phone (pick up the phone and call me) It's never too late to lay your head down on my shoulders It's never too late to come on home, come on home And don't fear the water coz u can swim inside you within your skin And dont fear ur father, coz a father's just a boy without a friend And don't fear to walk slow, don't be a horse race, be a marathon dont fear the long road, coz on a long road, u got a long time to sing a simple song (CHORUS) And it's never too late to start the day over It's never too late to pick up the phone (pick up the phone and call me) It's never too late to lay your head down on my shoulders It's never too late to come on home, come on home" Current Mood: restless Current Music: Spearhead - Never Too Late (Comment on this)

8:30 pm	stereotypical so ends my long dry spell of no new entries. got a new tattoo. it hurt like hell, but it's beautiful and i'm very happy with it. spending most of my time working, drinking, and hanging with friends. this has all been conducive to a relatively good mood. relatively. missing everyone from boston. i can't wait to have my old life back. it's been nice here, but it's time to go home. in the upcoming week: partying like a rock star. let's see if i can spend the least amount of time being sober as humanly possible. "i wanted you to know i love the way you laugh i wanna hold you high and steal your pain away i keep your photograph, i know it serves me well i wanna hold you high and steal your pain 'cuz i'm broken when i'm open and i dont feel like i am strong enough 'cuz i'm broken when i'm lonesome and i dont feel light when you're gone away" Current Mood: contemplative Current Music: Broken - Seether feat.

4:17 pm	so much to say, so little energy being sick blows ass for a living. for the past three days, i've had a fever, a sore throat, no sense of smell thanks to my violent congestion, sneezing fits, and lots of cold sweats. joy of joys... but dont think being sick kept me from my sex, drugs, and rock and roll (the drugs, of course, being decongestants). i still sold my soul to the darkness :) i'll elaborate more on the river rave goodness when my body doesn't feel like it's trying to kill itself. before i go indulge myself in the final installment of the lord of the rings, i have one quick thing to add...WARNING: if you are suseptable to sappy things, do NOT read on! blame it on my sick head, but i was listening to this song on my way home and it made me think of you. every word of this accurately describes how i feel, except that it doesn't take me 10 days to miss you... "to see you when i wake up is a gift i didn't think could be real to know that you feel the same as i do is a three-fold utopian dream you do something to me that i can't explain so would i be out of line if i said i miss you? i see your picture, i smell your skin on the empty pillow next to mine you have only been gone ten days but already i'm wasting away i know i'll see you again, whether far or soon but i need you to know that i care and i miss you" - incubus thanks for the amaaazing weekend, dan. you're a wonderful prom date and male nurse :) talk to you soon, baby. ok, off to sit on the couch which i've already been on for 7 hours today. wow, i'm cool.

1:53 am	i have soooo much to write about and update on, but i'm gonna make this quick cuz i'm tired and i still want to browse through the new cosmo before bed :) i've been spending some time in my garden lately which has been amazing. my perennials are coming up and i've started putting in some annuals, so everything should really be coming together in the next couple weeks :) in related news, i've already started working full-time which has been going really well. we've got a good crew this summer. my friend tara is back at estabrook's and this will make our 3rd summer working together, so i forsee many good times ahead. i got to go to boston this past thursday to spend the most amazing day with dan before he left for nyc and i havent stopped smiling since i got back. i know i say this all the time and everyone is probably really sick of hearing it, but i'm so incredibly happy with him. i love having someone who i can be honest and open with and who makes me feel wanted and (if i'm lucky enough) who i'll be with for a while :) can't wait to see you in a couple weeks, my dear! i've gotten to see a few of my girls since i've gotten back i.e. julia and erin and corinne so thats been mad fun. there are still some people i need to catch up with like dawn and sam and katie but i'll hopefully be tracking them down in the next week or so. ok. i talk too much. my cosmo awaits. goodnight.

2:25 am	all cried out what a long day. moving all my worldly belongings was easy compared to saying goodbye. i keep thinking that i couldnt shed another tear if i tried, but i keep proving myself wrong. life will go on here in maine, but it wont be the same without all of you. lets sail right through to september :) the ambien is coming, the ambien is coming... babe, i stayed up as long as i could but this crazy girl needs some sleep. i hope its alright to give you a call tomorrow evening, cuz i already can't wait to hear your voice again... goodnight, all. sweet dreams.

2:48 am	homeward bound... what a difference a year can make. i can't talk long now cuz its 3 am and i have my entire dorm room to pack up. at noon tomorrow, i'll be gone. thinking about leaving berklee and leaving boston has me feeling so empty and so alone. this is my home and i never want to leave. my friends who i love with ALL MY HEART are here. you guys are my family and i'm with you no matter how many states are between us. my amazing boyfriend is here. dan, you bring so much to my life and i can't wait until we visit each other this summer. i haven't shed a tear yet, but looking around this cluttered room with empty walls makes me feel like it'll hit any minute. jamie's parents are picking him up in 7 hours. yeah, any minute now... so with that, i say: "times have changed and times are strange here i come, but i ain't the same mama, i'm coming home..." i love you all. never forget that.

7:03 pm	"just hold me close and don't let go until i say so" despite the stress level peaking with finals right around the corner, now is a very good time for me. i adore my amazing friends. i'm gonna miss my boston peeps so much over the summer even though i know i'll be making lots of trips. my room will be so quiet without my black mama keeping me in line or making me laugh or playing clay aiken. i wont have jamie, dear jamie, across the hall for late night talks, laughs, cries, and facials or early morning motivation and hysterics. i'll miss lily and suse for their presence which makes me smile no matter what kind of day i'm having. too many to list! christina and marybeth for being crazy!! :) .... but i'm also excited to see my friends from good old maine! my wubbie! julia face, the love of my loins, we're gonna have such an amazing summer, and erin who i havent seen in a billion years but miss dearly! awesomeness, good times ahead i also adore my music. i can tell now more than ever just how much progress i've made over this past year, and it makes me feel really good. i still have a loooong way to go but i'm getting there. so importantly, i adore my boy who can make me feel like the prettiest, most important person in the world with just a hug. although we're not even sure if we're gonna be on the same coast this summer, i know it'll be okay because he makes me happy. somehow, we'll find a way to make this work. i've wanted to see the west coast anyway :) anyway. blah, enough emo-ness for the day. i should really get to work considering that i have to play an allman brothers solo that i havent even started for a final tomorrow. oops. laterzzz Current Mood: loved Current Music: Lit - Four (6 Comments |Comment on this)

2:06 pm	i'm having one of those days where i woke up really pissed off and i dont know why. i feel like i want to punch a hole in the fucking wall. i hate the way that my room is messy, i hate the way people touch me, i hate the way my jeans ride on my hips, i hate that i feel an anxiety attack coming on any minute now, i hate the silence but i hate any sort of noise either. i hate feeling like i'm being phazed out. i hate not being inspired or inspiring. i hate being sick and feeling like my lungs are caving in. i hate constantly being around people but i hate being alone. i hate these same four walls. i hate my intolerance for things that don't go my way. i hate that things are going so well in my life and all i can bring myself to do is bitch. i need to start taking zoloft on a more regular basis.

10:22 pm	iwanttofuckjoestump@shredmetal.com despite some minor setbacks, life has really been rocking lately. more to come... for now, here's a silly thing i got from lily and dan. so do it, i guess: I want everyone who reads this to ask me 3 questions, no more no less. Ask me anything you want and i will answer it. Then, I want you to go to your journal, copy and paste this allowing your friends (including myself) to ask you anything.

11:16 pm	i really shouldn't even be updating right now cuz i need to be doing my adapted lead sheet for my arranging project. it's gonna take forever, but check this out: i'm doing "rainy day women #12 & 35" by bob dylan in the style of booker t and the mgs. if you don't know who booker t is, first of all, shame on you. second of all, download "hip hug her," the song that i'm loosely basing my project after. so, yeah. i just got back to the room after rocking out at the alice in chains caf show despite my fever of 101. have i mentioned that i love berklee? yeah, so seeing the show tonight got me inspired to try to organize my own grunge caf show. i think my buddy seth (who can pull off an incredibly believable robert plant) and i are gonna get together this summer and see if we can't work on some soundgarden songs for a potential fall semester show. that would make my life. yay, love for me. the game plan: more ibuprofen, aerosmith, homework, sleep. <3 Current Mood: sick Current Music: Aerosmith - Deuces Are Wild (2 Comments |Comment on this)

1:49 am	but we already knew that Which My So-Called Life Character Are You? Find out @ She's Crafty omg lily, this is like so awesome...or whatever. what an awesome flashback to the beginning of first semester, blowing off everyone and everything to curl up in my bed and watch MSCL. such good times. this is me loving you <3 ok, i really need to go and practice so i can get to bed, but i need to talk about my saturday night. its summed up in 3 words: THE MOTHERFUCKING DARKNESS!! so take your hottest, hardest rock and roll wet dream and multiply that times 4 billion and you will get (approximetly) the amount that the darkness show ROCKED! i have been to many shows in my measly 18 years of life, but that was definitely one of the best. we were definitely at the front of the pit, fucking 5 feet away from hawkings brothers. at one point during a guitar solo, justin leaned out into the crowd and i touched the headstock of his guitar. then towards the end of the show, i got a nice, ice cold bottle of water handed to me by dan fuckin hawking. that combined with a kick ass set that rocked from "black shuck" all the way through to a 10 minute version of "love on the rocks" made for an evening that was bound to please. thanks to my homeboy seth for rocking it out and headbanging like crazy with me. rock the fuck on. wow. now it's definitely bedtime. love. peace. rock.

10:42 pm	"from here on, it's instinctual / even straight roads meander" today was really rad. i woke up at noon-ish after an awesome night of drinking and enjoying good company to a phone call from my mom telling me that she was in town and wanted to go out to lunch. we wound up going to friday's with julia, mr. jamie, ms. jamie, and corinne despite the hangovers and the lack of sleep looming over us. it was splendid. yay for non-caf food. erm yeah, so i'm starting to organize my class schedule for next semester and i'm getting really excited about it. i almost wish the summer vacay was a little shorter, cuz i dont want to have to wait 5 months to start this stuff. i'm not officially registered yet, but i'll know everything for certain soon. ok, i'm babbling. my ADHD has been ridiculously out of control lately. wtf, mate? i feel like that character that mike myers played on SNL - phillip, was it? the kid who had to wear a harness and a helmet and went postal every time he ate chocolate? yeah, thats me. i hope my harness still fits sleep time. woot.

9:02 pm	what a day... so yeah, today was really...special. so i go into work for like an hour this morning and realize "hmmm, i'm not feeling too good. i should go home." so i leave and go back to my dorm and take a nap. i wake up a little while later and realize "hmm, i really feel like i'm gonna puke." fastforward about ten minutes to me lying naked on my bathroom floor, nauseous as hell, sweating profusely, and talking on my cell phone with my mom telling her that i think i'm dying. so then i call lily, bless her beautiful heart, and tell her to come over cuz i think i'm dying and maybe she could help me out to, you know, not die. fastforward another hour to me chilling out on my bed, feeling a million times better, eating some perfectly bland crackers from the lily and thanking god that my chica favorita came to save me. and also thanks to the roomie for stealing me saltines from the caf. and thanks to the awesomely rockin' boy for visiting me and bringing me movies :) woot. not a bad ending to an interesting day. and now its guitar time. rock.
