I can honestly say that I love this town. Buffalo is my home. and i love it. this morning was magical....i drove my mom to work in the wee hours of the AM, and when I got home, it started to rain. Rain does not happen in vegas. more or less the ability to keep your windows open to feel the amazingness of the early, dewy and refreshing morning summer breeze. I laid in bed, listening to the rain and feeling the wind, and thought, "my god, this is the best morning I have had in a long time".

I am really looking forward to my return to the queen city.

My apartment is really cute. Despite its lack of bedroom furniture, it's coming along....pink and hello kitty style. damn right.

my little brother got this kitten a few weeks back. i thought, great, just what my family needs, another fucking animal. but honestly, i am in love. This cat is like no other cat....those of you who know me know that I am a dog person, but this cat is fucking awesome. she cuddles and loves like no other! and she licks your toes! If i could guarentee a cat like this, i would for sure get one.....but unfortunately, cats are so hit and miss, most likely to be a miss....i want this cat.

i hope all you (e:peeps) are doing well! goodnight!

san diego was amazing. but that is not what i need to discuss....

I took my bros to the pool today. other than being burnt to crisp, i experienced an interesting pimp- ho fight. for real. ok. so I was chillin in the pool on my pink noodle (hahahahaha), and in walks this dude with a 40 in a brown bag. he was gross. and he sat on this chair and just watched us swim. i was really freaked out, but whatever....so we were all in the pool have a good time, then all of a sudden, this crazy asian bitch who look like an anorexic whore (a real las vegas whore) comes in the pool area slamming the pool gate wide open...

she starts screaming "you fucking asshole dick!" at the top of her lungs in her almost incoherant babble....and she is whalling her arms all over the place. I was like, holy shit! this is great!, but then realized my lttle brothers were witnessing this....so, I was like, okay, maybe they will go away.

she walked over to the gross dude and is like, punching and kicking him! she is screaming, "give me the keys, you fucking dick!" and he replied with "bitch, you are a ho. and anyway, you are drunk. where the fuck are you going to go? another john's house? you can't go anywhere." They were screaming this. yea. insane.

so, after my fix of entertainment for the day, i went into the office....and as I was walking, the dude was like, look btich, see that girl across the way, she is going to tell on you, get your shit together.

oddly enough, the manager at the office knew who i was talking about before he even went out to kick them out. apparently they are here quite often. he said he might have to evict the dude. he has no idea who the woman is, but she is always fucked up.

yea. so they left screaming and eachother....and it was insane.

it was better than watching cops or cheaters. for sure.

we leave for san diego tomorrow. i am taking my brothers to the zoo. I can't wait....we are staying for the weekend so we can also go to the beach!

I can't wait to sit on the beach and hear the sounds of the ocean. san diego is wonderful!

Only a few more days till I am home for a breif visit. I can't wait to be in buffalo....it's only for 4 days, but I will take it!

I am a young woman in a situation that isn't the best she has had...

a women who is in love with animals, especially my 3 babies...

a girl who loves pink and hello kitty

but is not a bimbo by any means (which some may believe me to be on first impression....which of course I despise)

I have a heart of gold....sometimes that isn't a great quality though, because you get set up to be let down at times....

my family is most important to me.

i don't get my eyebrows waxed as often as I should.

sometimes i say things that I shouldn't say about other people. but what most people don't know is that most of the time i regret it.

i love cleaning bathrooms.

my gucci bag is clearly fake. i mean, whoever spends $3000 on a bag is dumb.

2 of my closest friends are men. I think I just get along with dudes better....

I am a democrat. although I hate to say a party affiation, but I guess i am more liberal than anything....

I am tough. and I promise you, if you piss me off enough, i will punch you in the face....

I love to laugh. sometimes uncontrollably. In fact, this is quite embarrasing, but once in 4th grade, I was laughing so hard that I peed on (e:lilho). yes. that is right folks. I peed on her in a cardboard box in my basement.

i have an ever changing hairstyle, although recently it has stayed constant. I am contemplating changing it.

i want to have a great job. but i also want to go back to school for like, everything....including physics. I don't understand it all....then again, who does, but I want to go to school for it.

and i hate school at the same time.

i am a little heavier than i would like to be. but i can manage.

i hate people who talk too much....like, the type who turn a 2 minute story into 70 minutes. i don't give a shit about your life. please give me the condensed version.

I LOVE MAKEUP. it's horrible. don't ever tell me I have too much lipgloss. you never can. and for the record, i wear minimal makeup despite my huge collection. i do not look like a streetwalker. thank you.

i have a dry sense of humor.

i am sometimes sensitive.

i am not too much of a movie person.

music is my life.

i am allergic to everything. the sun. the grass. even tattoo ink. bad news man....

i read books about diseases and economics for fun. i am a total nerd. but so clueless at the same time....

i usually have bad skin, but recently, it has been great due to my new skin care system from the derm.

i like to eat bad food. that's right. i will be the first in line at taco bell and arby's.

i love television. really bad television for that matter. for instance, i love that show on E!: girls next door. I mean, who watches that shit?

i haven't worked out in 2 weeks.


if you don't' like any of these qualities in a person, then don't talk to me. in fact. don't' look at me. don't read this. i don't want you in my life anyway.

the last few days have been wonderful. I have had a low key schedule and have had a chance to rest up. what a wonderful thing sleep is.

my case with the car accident is finally over....today was my last day of treatment....so now my lawyer takes over and hopefully gets me money.

i am obsessed with my steve madden sannibel sandals in white, so I bought another pair....but they were sold out all over las vegas, so I ordered them on ebay. they came in today.

we took the dogs to the dog park this evening. it is always adorable to see my happy little puppies run around and just be babies!

i saw transformers on saturday. it was def enjoyable. surprisingly funny.

i want to say so much more but i can't. my life is boring right now. i guess that is a wonderful thing. no drama!

Last night a man opened fire in New York New York casino and shot 5 people. It's a bit ironic to me for various reasons:

-it just confirms that people in this city are loonie

-why did he choose NYNY? out of all of this shit ass casinos in this city, he had to choose one that ironically embodies where I want to be. Well, anywhere in NY state would be great....(by the way, NY NY is totally NOT cool....go to the real NY if you really want to experience it, duh!)

-where else in the world can you leave NY, after shooting 5 people, and cross the street and be in the lion's cove (the man was on his way to the MGM)? Only las vegas....

so! summer classes are kicking my ass. seriously. i have no life. but they are over as of 10pm tonight...minus the indendant study I am doing till the beginning of august. so I am quite excited about this stuff is coming to a close.

I am trying to get out of LV by october. My advisor told me that if I can get my research done, I can go home! So....we are keeping my fingers crossed.

With that said, I need a job in buffalo. Preferably a great job in the public health field. I think its time to get real....and do someting that I really truely love. Now its just a matter of finding the job. I know they are out there, I just have to tap a source....

Speaking of jobs, I got one here as an assistant manager at Volcom. I am excited about it actually because usually I am not into "those" clothing brands, but the Volcom girls line is actually really cute. And i get to boss people around. I'm all about that. I start next week.

My family is coming out next friday. I am way excited about this. We are taking my brothers to san diego for a weekend. Beach, here I come! and it's not 117 in san diego, that's a plus.

I hope all (e:peeps) are all well!

so, wednesday I took sophia and petey to the vet to get them puppy drugs for the plane, and to get sophia's booster shots for all of those doggy diseases. Danny was in california taking eli to chip's house. I thought, damn, what am I going to do tonight with all of this free time (since finals were over and danny was gone)....so i got ready for a relaxing night. I was going to do a face masks, pedicure, manicure, etc....

but around 8pm, sophia started acting weird. she came up to me on the couch and just stared at me, and then started smashing her face against the back of the couch. I looked at her, and she had all of these swollen bumps around her nose....that's wierd, they have never been there before. But as I stared at her, her face swelled right infront of my eyes....really bad. I started FREAKING OUT. I called the vet. no answer. so i looked online for the closest emergency vet....I called....and they said she was having a severe allergic reaction to her vaccines and I needed to bring her in immediately.

so I freaked out some more. I ran to my closest and through on the clothes that I first touched. bad outfit i might add. I turned around and saw sophia down the hall vomiting uncontrollably! Like 6 times in the matter of a minute. Yea, panic by now had set in. and by this time, her face was so swollen I could barely stare at her.....

....we ran down the stairs to the car, and i tripped in the process pulling my hamstring (which is not in serious pain). I drove in hysterics to the vet which thankfully was just down the street. I walked in a freakin wreck. Sophia's face was so swollen that her eyes were pretty much shut. Her entire body was on fire with hives, and everything was itching and swollen....not just her face.

I was such a mess, they had to take her to the back because I was working myself up and in the process making sophia more stressed.

after a few hours, the doctor finally came in and told me she was going to be okay. A pretty penny and a few shots later, she was ready to go home. The poor thing. I hope I never see her like that again....my poor baby.



And tonight we leave for our glorious trip to buffalo. we are so excited! minus the flight of course.

I met tanya harding today. the olympic figure skater gone wild.
