In our old house we had the ability to tuck oour kitty litter box away and not have to see it all the time. Now in this shoebox apt. we have been forced to put the litter box in the bathroom. I guess it will bring us closer together. Either way, there is effin kitty litter all over our bathroom floor which is not exactly the most pleasant of things to get stuck to ones feet after taking a shower. So while brainstorming on ways to fix said problem I came up with a corner kitty litter box. And yesterday we went to PetSmart and purhcased one with a lid, a swinging door and triangular shape so its fits snuggly into the corner of our bathroom. However, there is still effin kitty litter on the floor. Alas, what are two girls to do?

Ah! (e:fellyconnelly) just breazed by an old episode of Project Runway and it got me all excited. What gives? Where have Tim Gunn and Heidi Klum been hiding out? I neeeeeeeeed Project Runway!

Moving On. I have now less than two weeks of "vacation" left. On Monday I have orientation. Hehe, the last time I went to orientation I think I was a totally different human being. I was thinking about how, in many ways, New Paltz raised me. Can you really find out who you are until you are on your own? I don't know...either way, orientation on Monday, which I certainly need considering UB us effin huge and rather intimidating to a small town girl like me and because I still feel like I have absoltely no idea what I'm doing here. Then, Monday after next classes start and the fun begins. I haven't driven my car in over three weeks. Felly prefers to drive her car because my car has no AC, no CD player, and the passenger window doesn't go down, so we take her car everywhere we go. So needless to say, I haven't driven much in Buffalo. However, I like to drive and am looking forward to a nice little commute to school, that is at least till it starts to get cold outside. I hate the cold. Like, a lot.

Today's plans: AmVets and The Dollar Store. I can barely contain myself.

I've been spending the last few minutes reading all the current journals and sorting out who's who. Felly is very busy playing some skateboarding game with sweet punk music in the background. She has been hogging the computer all morning long while I cry secretly about all the pit bulls that have to be put down because they have been raised for dog fighting and have "dog aggression". And then they go and play this commercial with all these cute little kitten and puppy faces and some sad song in the background....ahhh, I'm a sucker. Moving on.

After our trip out into the real world last night, Felly and I came home and I played Frogger for the first time in my life. Yes indeed, I have been living in a hole in the ground for the last 24 years. I am one of those people who is always the last to find out about the coolest new shit, whether it be because I don't care or possibly because I am too concerned with the last cool thing I just discovered that came out like 3 years ago. Either way, I played Frogger and discovered that I enjoy it a great deal and found myself being rather competitive, which is weird for me because I hate sports and for the most part hate competition, but I think Felly thought it was cute. She still kicked my ass.

Speaking of which, I know it might be a little early for this yet, but the one sport I do enjoy is skiing and I recently got Felly to fall in line. Anyone here ski...or snowboard? I can't snowboard for shit because I refuse to learn after one initial attempt and a week's worth of bruised ass cheeks, but I still think it's really cool and am jealous because of the cool boots you get to wear. Either way, we need a place that has some easy hills for Felly and some fairly difficult ones for me, cause I like to go fast :)

Alright, looks like I can talk after all. I am excited for tonight's event at the Albright Knox. I have this thing where I tend to be afraid of going to new places, so it's always good to have someone coming along who knows what they are doing. Also, Felly's birthday is on Sunday...any suggestions of a nice, not too expensive place to take her? I would like a place with an outdoor option if it is nice weather, but am really open to suggestions, even off the strip. I know she is going to read this but that's fine. I keep saying, so uh, where you wanna go? and not getting anywhere, so I thought I'd throw it out there to you folks.

Okeedokee. Peace out.

Felly has convinced me to take a trip to Target to get her coveted cable to connect the DVD player to the VCR and then to TV, all so we can play video games. Very exciting. I'm hesitant simply because I don't want to put on a bra today and going out into public tends to require such things. Alas, the price you pay for entertainment.

Thanks for all the info on the park. I think we shall certainly be taking a trip out there next week sometimes. All your pics look beautiful and worth the drive.

We drenched our bathtub in Tilex mildew remover and I think I'm slowly losing brain cells with every breath I take. I think Felly likes it. Hmm...how to do that neat little link thing to the person? I will have to ask her once she gets off the phone.

For now...

Ok so...I initially made an account over a month ago and conviently forgot the passwod to, so I figured I could just start over.

So, first of all I would like to thank all the folks who came out last night and made us feel so welcome. It was fabulous to do a little socializing and good to find some seamingly down to earth people.

Sooooo...I was thinking while the weather is nice I would like to do some hiking, and I've heard of some canyon outside if Buffalo that is crazy huge...I don't know what it's called but someone referred to it as the Grand Canyon of the East. Anyone know what I am talking about and where it is? I certainly would also take suggestions as to other good places to get out of the city. I must admit, I am a country girl as I've never lived in a city before, so I need a little nature in my life to keep me sane.

Also, now that I have met some of you and know that you are in fact real human beings, I think I might be more inclined to be a part of this community.

Now, back to Animal Planet.
