Wowser, my big brother is 30. How crazy! IT seems like just yesterday you were holding me down with your friends and tickling me to death....oh wait that was yesterday!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANYWAY!!!





I love this picture for some reason. What are we both seeing that we seem so mystified and scared by? Happy Birthday Big Brother!

It is weird, like I always think like the people who are on (e:strip) now are the ones who have always been here. But really it has changed a lot and there are always regulars but lots of the people change. I thought of this cuz both (e:chris) and (e:boxerboi) posted today and both have not posted in a long time. They as long as other people have went along the wayside over the years like stickboy, drchlorine, alison and others. It is weird, that you just forget...

I have never watched the OC before but for some reason (e:paul) has become enamored with it recently and so I watched it with him last night. It was quite entertaining. I know there are only a few episodes left until it is cancelled but I think I will watch them. It was funny and fun. It also gave me my favorite line ever to use from now on. If you say Aurevoir Peaches with a thick french accent it sounds like something else and sounds great. Its funny cuz it sounds so mean but is actually something really nice, you are calling someone a peach which is nice. so I'll see ya'll tonight and you can hear it in person , but for now

Aurevoir Peaches!

If I got a small SUV like the Toyota RAV4. Ok, i prolly won't get one but I think it would be fun to have one. I wish they were better on gas, though they are better than my old hunker of a car. I know I prolly won't want one but lately I just feel like getting a small SUV. I won't though, i'm sure I will just get some car.

Today was my first day of being back in school. I 'll update more on that later.

Went to the cheesecake factory the other day with (e:maureen).It was pretty good but not worth the 2 hour and 15 minute wait. There was some like lady rock/Sheryll Crowish version remix of Enjoy the Silence by Depeche Mode. It was so random to hear that while waiting at the cheesecake factory (by the wya we had to wait 20 more minutes than we were quoted). Anywho, that song made me think I haven't bought a cd in a while. And now you may be thinking , well noone does, we all download our music. But you see I haven't even done that. It is like music left my life. I still listen to the radio a lot and my cds and songs that I like but nothing has made me want to make the effort to go buy the cd or even enough effort to download the song. Not sure why....
.

...onto the Golden Globes. I love award shows , particularly the Golden Globes and OScars. I watched them with (e:jill) and they were pretty good but the after show was AMAZING. E! totally is pure crappy goodness. LIke the one Julianne Depandy I think, she was interviewing the winners after the show and she was defienetly getting drunk. Her entire interview with Alec Bladwin was about his hiar, and Merryl Streetp was competly about how cute her thank you list was. She then proceded to knock over the table holding Helen Mirren's Globes. Seriusly every commercial break they showed her like walking back to the bar.

The camerawork was kinda shotty too. THye kept cutting people out in mid interview but going nowhere like to a blank wall or hallway. And the "celebrititeis" they had consisted of people like Lance Bass and some random girl and Daryl Hanah. It was hilar. The other host guy was definetely high on some drug. It was so funny.

I tihnk the best line was the girl from hero when someone asked her what is it like to be at the Golden Globes and haveing everyone see you and take your picture and she responded "Maybe you didn't know, but I was at the Teen Choice Awards"....AS IF THEY ARE THE SAME THING!!!

oh wait no the best line was after the girl from Ugly Betty won for best actress the lady was like "how does it feel to win this knowing so many people didn't want you for that role and didn't tihnk you were right for that"

and the girl was like "um i didn't know that people didn't want me for that role. I had no idea really"

so the interviewer tired to be all cool "like uh yeah i thought i heard sometihng>..."
it was hilariously horrible

I am going to look for a new car today. This is the first time I wasn't forced to get a new car cuz my old one completely pooped out. It is also the first time I am looking at a dealer and not just getting one for like $500 from somoeone who can't drive anymore or gets a new car. It is very nerve racking. My parents are looking for a new car too so we are gonna look together (perhaps get a buy one, get one free, haha)! I don't know. LIke my car I have now is dying slowly and I dno't want to have to be forced to find one right away or put anymore money into it so I guess it is time> It leaks everything and keeps having little parts break.

I need something roomy for my big legs and I drive a lot of people around a lot so I need it to hold a lot of people. And I want it to have good mileage. And power windows. Those are really my only necessities, oh and prolly air conditioning. And blue. I think i want blue or red. Wish me luck...

I saw Bobby today at the cheap show in Cheektowaga with (e:jill). It was really good and soo sad. I love sad movies. I really like when I cry at movies. I don't know why but I really like sad movies and this was one of them. Even though you kinda know where it is giong, it is still really sad and crymaking.

After some mishaps and misunderstanding I finally registered for Physics. I will be at UB North Campus (there are prlly few places i rather not be at) on MWF from 11-1150 and Thursday at 830. I meant to sign up for Tuesday but I messed up and now it is full. I have to go get my id, parking permit and my UB account on Friday. How am I supposed to find my way around. I gave myself an hour from when I leave work and have to get there on my first day is that enough time. My class is in Cooke121. Wish me luck...i am gonna feel really old and dumb. I haven't taken math/science class in like 5 years so Physics for Engineers should be real great!

..than a young person's funeral. (e:amanda)'s brother's funeral was today. It was soooo sad. I have never been to a young person's funeral before. It is so differently sad. Though I never really knew him, it was still incredibly sad. Seeing amanda and her family was heartbreaking. Her grandparents seemed soo distraugh. Who ever imagines burying their grandkids? I don't know how you ever recoup after something like that.

(e:amanda)'s brother andrew died today. He's only like 26. He has been sick for a while so it wasn't completely surprising but still utterly horrible. I can't even imagine what her and her family must be going through. He is her only sibling. I can't even imagine if (e:paul) died. It seriously leaves me speechless. I feel so bad for them. He has been sick for a while though so maybe it is better but still it is horrible. This doesn't really make sense but it just I don't know, I felt like writing about it but don't really know what to say.
