i have decided to cut back in anticipation of said move, and the fact that i NEED a new car. here's what i will be saying goodbye to:
*netflix
*internet(ok, maybe)
*my car, i loved you while it lasted
*alcohol for the most par
*any sort of clothes shopping, at all. but i do need to get new sneakers, so that doesnt count
im gonna keep my gym membership a my one luxury. im sure between all of the walking plus the gym i will be in tip-top shape in no time.
also, the fact that i will no longer have a car, means i can really be green party, at least for a short while.
ps. the police will never ever have your best interest at heart. dont let them catch you ridin dirty...

ok, maybe i totally need my ipod! and lipgloss of course.
i'm actually so ok, that i've pretty much lost any interest in dating. im more interested in getting good grades, getting ready for my huge move, and going to work. and of course, having great times with friends!
this feels good! :O) have a great day everyone!

03/17/07 11:41 - 22ºF - ID#38497Category: st mattys dayMeet up before the parade!
Hey e:peeps , let's continue the celebration, and all meet up at e:strip headquarters on Sunday before the parade! To give us time to get downtown and pregame, let's strive for 12:30-1:00.
The parade starts at 2pm and will kick off at Niagara Square and end at North Street. So, if you are Irish, you like the Irish, or just like drinking and want to have a great time... BE THERE!
If you need anymore info, just leave a comment.
P.S. It was great to see everyone at the party. A more tame time than usual, but good times as always. :O)

if you missed out, on the parade with me. well, you missed out. i hugged every old man, and even rode in a van with the parade for a bit.
e:brit , i think you must owe me about $200 bucks for all of the bets you gave me. its the one day of the year i feel completely free. out in the street, drinking the crunk juice. oh yes.
now, im back in work/school mode and thinking i am totally ready for spring break. apparently the assholes at ecc, do not consider midterm a good time for spring break.
ive been celibate for way too long. perhaps i will become crazy born-again, again, and revirginize myself...
ps. i shall post some st patty's day pics soon...

03/23/07 21:29 - 48ºF - ID#38598Category: helpingdont just stand there, do something!when did the world become filled with assholes?
probably a long long time ago. and im probabyl one of them.
but, when an old old man falls on the trasin tracks dowtown in the pouring rain and at least 20 people stand and do nothing; that is unacceptable. this makes me sick.
im glad i was there to help the poor guy up.
being 23 can suck. but im sure being old and rickety, and having nobody to help you get up from the tracks when a train is coming sucks way more. and in the pouring rain. im so sick of all of the dumb-fuck "suits" that think they are too busy to help someone.
i know im girly and into celeb gossip. but i wont ever sell out and think im too good to help someone out.
this makes me soooo mad. i dont understand why people will just watch and not help out. i see it all of the time. people who dont hold open doors, drivers in such a rush that they cant let someone cross the street. where is everyone rushing to? why is everyone suddenly more important than someone else?
being 23 really doesnt suck. but i never want to see myself turn into somebody who is totally selfish and impatient. that would suck.
i think not having a car, and seeing how people who are truly impoverished live, gives me a whole new perspective. i live a totally pampered and self-indulgent life. i want more than that. there are so many people that have so much less than me, and i need to stop wanting more. the only things i want more of, are love, friendship, and compassion. ok, i do want more cute dresses, and some alcohol and lipgloss, but if i truly am able to give back, i think i deserve it.
have a great weekend ya'll. and if you see someone in need, dont just stand there. DO SOMETHING!!!!!!!
