all done!!!

guess who just graduated?!?!?! IT WAS ME!!! haha, took me long enough... but here are a few pictures to prove it!!!

here, for this one, i made the mistake of giving my mom my camera because, well, she doesn't know how to use digital cameras and the zoom function was way beyond her, so here i am on stage. really, that's me next to the little orance blob.

and here are the "professional" ones, (am i allowed to post these?? sure, why not?)

(and why do i always make such stupid faces in pictuers that are suppossed to be serious?)

but this is my favorite picture of the day. (it was after the ceremony, once the camera was taken away from my mom and my brother started going camera happy)

so that's that! i'm offically an architectural engineer!! but still no job, but i'll be back in buffalo in 2 days, well late sunday night.

Bills Game

OK, i'm just gonna say right now that i'm not gonna talk about the last quarter of the game, and especially not the last 30 seconds.

but i would like to say that i was amazed at the amount of people in Bills attire at the game today. it felt like a home game w/o the cold weather, snow, freezing winds, drunk people picking fights with everyone else, cops beating those drunk people with those big police sticks they carry around, and security guards in their bright yellow outfits at every section incase a fight does break out...

but OMG, there were soo many bills fans, it was amazing!!! as we were walking in there were guys chanting the "shout" song. oh, it got me soo excited!

and from my seats up in the nose bleed section, you could definitly hear the "lets go buffalo" chant way louder than anything the dolphins were saying!

and OMG, at the end of the 3rd quarter when everyone started to leave cuz it was obvious the bills were gonna win the game, i wish i had a camera cuz you would think rich stadium or whatever its called now was painted orange and aqua but was filled with bills fans, cuz it was really filled with blue and red shirts...

ok, well i had a good time, aside from what i said i'm not gonna talk about, and met lots of dolphins fans, they were fun, gave me lots of beer and food.

oh, and best of all, so wow, you people talking about craigslist are smart people! i just discovered it the other day, and got 3 tix for $15 each, but then $25 shipping cuz i baught them on friday night, and then $20 parking, so only $90 for all 3 of us, what a good deal!!! the day only cost me $30.00

banana update...

ok, remember back about 2 weeks ago when i had some banana's that i had already had for a week yet were still green???

bananas purchased on november 2nd... yes, that's right 19 days ago!!! theses bananas have been sitting on my counter along with others i have since purchased, but here ya go, this is them now!!! in addition to some flour, sugar, an some "tropical fruit" or whatever it is in those dole fruit cups... but it's tasty, my roomate and i tried some, might be a little dry, but that's about it... but the dry factor is kinda my fault, so the rescipe says to drain the fruit then if it looks dry to add some in, well i didn't add it in, i kept it for myself to make a tasty little drink with OJ and vodka... sorry no picture of that (but it was goood) but here is that those strangly green bananas eventually turned into

and even more strange, the bananas never did turn yellow, they went from green to brown... oh well, that's all i needed em to do!!!

bananas

ok, this might seem a little odd, but i bought these bananas on wednesday, wednesday november 2nd. and today is sunday, sunday november 6th.

and they may have been a little more green than the typical banana color, but that was all they had, so i figured why not cuz typically when i buy bananas they start to go brown the day after i buy em. and i usually get em a bit green (lesson learned from shopping w/ my mom when i was little, get em a little greener than you'd like so they last ya) so i thought they would definitly be good and ready by now...

but look at em:

and im not playing with the colors or anything. here you can compare it with the color of my hand (and the bright pink nail polish... yeah i was bored this weekend)

they are just soooo green... still

do ya think they will ever yellow themselves???

i sure hope they do...

i gotta make some more banana bread!!!

hehehe, do this

1.) go to www.google.com
2.) type in "failure" without the quotes
3.) press the I'm feeling lucky button (instead of the google search one)
4). Laugh

Hurry, before google fixes this

what a conundrum...

so... I've been dating this guy for about a month and a half and he really likes me. but i still think i really have feelings for my ex.

so the guy i'm currently with (let's call him Z) is, like i said, really nice and he relaly really likes me.

but my ex (lets call him X) wasnt as into me, but i was so much more into him than i am into Z.

and what was a total red flag to me about me and Z occured the other night:
so i was out at a bar with Z and i saw X there, and my stomach was flipping, i really missed him. then he went out of his way and came up to me and talked to me. it was like the first time in a while we really talked since he broke up with me. (and i know i will never go back out with X since he did break up with me, im just not going to do that)

but here is my question: what do i do about Z???

i really don't think i am all that into him physically. i'm just not attracted to him. i think if i was attracted to Z as much as X then i would totally be into him. but i know how much he likes me and i would never want to hurt him like that. but then again, im not entirelly sure that i don't like him, that there isn't any potential...

should I:
a) keep things the way they are and see where it goes?
b) end it right now before it goes any farther?
c) tell him how i feel and see how he takes it?
d) any suggestions???

and by the way, i really can't see myself doing either b or c...

Do i have a pool???

ok, so the other day i discovered google earth, and boy was i amazed!!! i found my home in hamburg and then (e:amanda)'s house which was easy cuz she's got a huge pool, and i just went searching around the buffalo area while i was waiting in one of the computer labs, before i could go to the other room for my class to start.

ok, so i spent that day mainly in the western new york area while this evening, i decided to download it myself on my computer and check out Miami a little bit. so i found the university of Miami, which definitely looks different than those little maps they have around so little freshmen and visitors don't get all lost. but then i went searching for our apartment, which really wasn't a big challenge, we are practically right across the street from school. but upon finding our building, i found a little something extra on our roof...

it appears that we have a pool on our roof!!! now i know the building next door has a pool on the roof, I've been up there with my landlord before, but Rachel, my roommate, and i had no idea we had a pool too!!! i'm still kinda amazed!!! we are on the third floor, who's apartment is filled with a pool???

well here's a picture. we are in the longer narrower building, and the one just to the south of us is the one I've been on the roof of and i know that's a pool...

so do we have a pool on our roof too??? i wanna go up there!!!!

mission accomplished!!!

ok, so remember back like a month ago when (e:amanda) broke my sink?? and we spent days trying to fix it, but instead of fixing it, we totally destroyed the screw making it nearly impossible to fix??? and then our terrible landlord lady was, well... useless.

SO... after much procrastination and many times burning my hands, face and mouth (since we only had access to the hot water) i finally took it upon myself to borrow another set of pliers from my friend and a little can of WD40 (well that was actually for the chain on my new bike, but it can be used for the sink too) and i somehow managed to pry the stupid screw loose enough to get it out. so Wa La!!! our sink is fixed!!! look how pretty!!!
