poof

Well, hello estrip. Been a while. At this moment, I'm on a bus to new york while Mickey is draped across the aisle like a trout. Or a plank. Haha... things have been a tornado-y hurricane-like whirlwind of go go go at all times.

I started ub in august, and i guess i.like it. I hate the hour commute. I've never wished i had a car before... hm.
My classes are all pretty interesting with the exception of 1 painfully boring professor. I'm excited, i guess. I'm finally taking the courses I've wanted to take. 2 Spanish courses, a korean course, and a linguistics course. So far i think I'm doing well. My attendance could be better, but what's new?

I started a new relationship, too. I couldn't be happier with it. The dynamic is different from anything else I've experienced. I foresee good things over the horizon.

I also moved! Amherst street ain't bad, but it's no elmwood village or Allentown. I'm never really home either. My room is huge though.

It's kinda tough making friends on campus. Foreign people stick together and all the Americans are all 'don't look at me' and 17 years old. I'm also the oldest person in every single class I'm in. That's what was nice about ecc ... it was so diverse. I was never the oldest person in the room. I was taking human sexuality with men and women older than my (dead) grammas.

That's not really important i guess.

I have to get serious about my study abroad. I gotta settle on a place.

Weirdness and busy-ness

weirdness: yesterday, i left the house to do laundry. 15 minutes later i return, and the strawberry plants are ripped clear out of the planter from my front porch... okay, wtf. Then Jenn and I head back out to have food at the Essex, and upon returning, there is a plunger wrapped in a liquor bag stuffed in my mailbox. What.

So the notice was given in the mail about whether we are staying here or not; No.

I'm mostly feeling okay but i smoked a little last night and had an inner-freakout about it... I think i kept it under wraps pretty well.

Yesterday i had a really good vegetarian pulled porn sandwich - it was made with spaghetti squash! An old schoolmate cooks there now. He's super hot still, kind of hotter. beardy guy with a fantastic physique. i want to gnaw on his calves, kind of?!

today is... i don't know. bleagh.

I was in a play and it was awesome.

So... Earlier today, was the second run of Shalter, an LGBTQ-themed play written and directed (and starred in) by Amy Upham. I started out yesterday very nervous and unsure how things would turn out. my adrenaline was high, and my joints trembled slightly. But the lights came on, and we walked out there on that stage and faced a crowd of people who were eager to be shown something special. The play dealt with a lot of important things facing our community; some things we all know about, and some things that have only recently began to see the light of conversation, addiction and abuse being the two biggies. And, of course it was filled with warm fuzzy moments of closeness: new love, deep friendship, and funny encounters. It was a full buffet of emotions and experiences!

I acted for the first time, along with some other theatre-virgins, and the experience was truly enriching, empowering, and inspiring. We worried a bit, but in the end we all pulled through like stars!

I can definitely say that I would act again. It was an exhilarating experience!
one thing i didn't like about it was having to shave. Bearded-hairy-legged characters from now on, only. haha! I felt naked, (well, i was half naked for a scene.) and unnatural.

It was great to have my family come out and support me. Some of my friends even came! What was also great was that plent of people we all knew and didn't know at all came, so it was a nice mixed crowd out there, filled with plenty of compliments for us after both shows.

It's been a a few hours since it ended, but it was good to just go home and rest afterwards. I was thoroughly drained from the experience.

Paul & Terry's Wedding

What a great night. I wish i got more pics of the ceremony but my phone was acting totally crazy, so i had to take the battery out until it was over...

I definitely got teary eyed during the stories and vows... it was really very sweet and a beautiful ceremony. Brian did a great job leading everything.

we all danced our butts off and it seems a good time was had by all. This was definitely the best wedding i've ever been to.

congratualations, (e:paul) and (e:terry). It was a night to remember and a union to be admired.

these photos are from Rita.

Alexandra Coyle art exhibition at gallery 464

My coworker allie had an art show recently, and it was great! the artist shwing downstairs was pretty interesting too. The food selection was awesome. I found out while I as there that 464 has their own magazine called spark... i looked through it and it was great. I can't wait to go back and buy it.

Allie's family was there, or at least part of it, i think? They were great! lots of work people showed up, but i missed a lot of them since i got their early and left early. Rita, Michael and I hung out at her place for a few hours before heading home... It was a great night.

July 4 2013

I actually ended up doing a lot that day... I went to a family BBQ (at which i took no photos!) went to a rooftop party at the Westbrook apartments in buffalo... that's what these photos are from. The view atop the city was crazy! It was so beautiful. The only thing that was a problem was that because of the smoke from the fireworks, you couldn't see them that much from where we were. i tried to take video of the finales across the city, but it was pointless really.

After that I went home for a short bit and sat around... Then the urge to dance came over me. it was really almost an emergency. So despite not being able to find a single dance partner i went out anyways and danced my head off.

Bachelor Party

I can't believe i got no pictures until Rita and I were leaving.

I had a great time. I drove up with Rita and we had a lot of fun together... I don't really have much camping equipment but luckily I was covered and had a tent to stay in. I can't believe how muddy and rainy it was! We made the best of it anyways.

Thanks to everyone who pulled together and made it a fun time. It was a great time, well spent with wonderful people, and I got the chance to meet even more wonderful people that i will hopefully see again in the future.
