I haven't written in awhile and things haven't really changed much. Still having a good time with my friends...just working a lot more. I guess somethings have changed though, when it comes to my friendships with some people. I have a friend that since she has entered the relationship she is in,she has completely changed. She has become miserable, especially when we go out, and I am convinced that her boyfriend does not care for me just because I am single, and she has a questionable past, and I think he might think I am trying to get her to do the same things that she did in her past...I am not getting into details, and that sentence barely makes sense,but,can't we all just have fun, and get along. Some friends may call me the "pep squad", but who cares, life is too short to bull shit around and act like an idiot.
And another thing...I wonder if you find out that someone has said something about you that is not in the best of taste, why is it so hard to be the stronger person and not stoop to their level? I know what I am like, I know my faults, but I also know my strengths...I have made mistakes, and taken risks, and I am ok with that. And I know that the friends that stick with me through the years love me for that! So, as my mom always said to me "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."
Finally,For an update with the fellows in my life...still having fun with the noncommitted relationship i am in...as for the others, they are just friends and always will be. I may sound fiesty in this journal...just haven't gotten things off my chest in awhile, thanks for listening.

Happy New Year! Last night was a fun night, this year a few of my friends and I decided to lay low and go to a party instead of the downtown/bar thing. Usually I head down for the ball drop, and then go to some bar from there, and this year I did not want to deal with the crowds. I did miss being at the actual ball drop though. It was always fun, even when the weather was not that great. We had plans last night to start out at one party and go to another, but we ended up just staying at the one the whole night. There were the typical drunk people that can not hold their alcohol, and the ones that don't talk that much, but all in all I was fortunate enough to hang out with some old friends and some new cool people. Good times for all, and a safe night for us!

Today was such a great day to sit around and do absolutely nothing in my pjs...unfortunately I had to work, and that ruined my plans. Work was incredibly boring, and I was the lucky one that had to take down the christmas decorations...christmas was just yesterday. Am I really the only one that wants to keep my decorations up until the end of January. I especially love the lights, I believe that they should stay up all year! As for christmas day, it was so nice and relaxing, spending time with the family. Also, I got a new bike...I was so excited, I felt like I was 5 again! I hope that everyone had a great holiday, and now I look forward to new years!

This is my first entry in the elmwood strip journal family...I feel like i have a lot to say, but some how, right now, i am at a loss for words. My work is chaotic, and relationships with friends kind of the same! I am like a combination of sex in the city, and seinfeld. I am a single girl here in snowy buffalo, and i love it. I would not want to be any other way for right now. Currently, i am "hanging out" with about 3 different guys, none of which i want a committed relationship with though. I am having fun, 2 of the guys we just go out every once in a while, and have fun, the other i have now defined us as being in a "committed/noncommitted" relationship. What i have taken from this is that we have committed to one another in that we are only hooking up with each other and no one else, and the noncommitted aspect is that we can still talk to others, but not hook up. It may sound weird, but to me that is all i want from a relationship right now, I don't want that relationship crap that i see so many couples in...i love my freedom!!
