hey guys, I don't have all of my Disney World pictures on my computer yet but here is one that I thought was incredibly goofy and fun that I hope you enjoy of me and Matt with winnie the pooh

I can't wait to show you all the rest, I used like 4 rolls of film and matt used a memory stick of like 140 pics on his digital. Of course most of them were from the fist few days when we were in awe of everything so it looks like we wore the same clothes all week. Mike I owe you a postcard, I found it in my suitcase when i realized I had not mailed it, it will be there soon. MK your present should be arriving at your house soon because I don't have your apartment address. Jill I think I am going to have to ask you about your present, hopefully I will see you online sometime this week so I can get that sent to you asap. I know jen also has a b-day coming up, I perused some john lennon stuff at the UK pavillion at epcot but decided she probably had 90% of that stuff anyway. I think I have a few ideas for her though...does she even read e-strip now that I think about it? Okay well back to work, more on the incredible time we had at Disney later.

My goal for the summer is to subrent/sublet or even apartment sit in Buffalo. I need to come home for a few months and de-city-fy myself while not living with my parents. I can't stand my job any longer and I am home/kitty sick. I know this is probably my last summer of freedom before I have to settle down and keep a real job and apartment so that I am not homeless, therefore I know that I must take advantage of this fact by quitting the job I hate and living on my own but yet still being in Buffalo. I have enough saved up to rent/sublet an apartment in Buffalo for the summer May-sept and just need a place to do so. If anyone knows anyone that will not be staying in their apartment for the summer months, ask them if they would mind if a very clean, non smoking or drinking 20 something pays them to live there in their absence. I have a few offers but nothing I am jumping up and down over, so if you know someone please let me know. Also if you know anyone hiring for the summer I could use a job during that time as well, I have great credentials. I have enough saved to not work, but it will be easier for me in the long run to work over summer even though I know just how hard finding a summer job in Buffalo really is.
I missed MK's recital yesterday *sniff* but I hope she got my message of good luck that I left on her phone. I haven't heard about it yet but I am sure she was amazing. I really wish I could have been there. I also heard that Jen and her mom are having a joint grad party which sounds like mucho fun. Jen and her mom throw great parties... martimis aside. I have been incredibly kitty sick this week. I miss my brother and my kitties and my friends so much. Maybe its because I usually go home for all my breaks so I never really go away for more than 2 months without coming back for a hit of home but now I know I won't be home until May because of Disney. Must not think about it now or I will get teary, sad how you never know what you have till you can't have it.
Matt and I leave for Disney late Tuesday night, technically early wed morning. We are super excited. Yesterday I went out and spent a cool hundred dollars on summer clothes to wear. That in its self was exciting, shopping is so fun, I am so glad I have a boyfriend who loves to shop too it makes it so much easier and more fun. We went to the mall in cambridge, and down newbury streetand around copley square, it was the first time all year I havent worked on saturday and it was a beautiful day. Today, I am alone at work and it is horribly ugly, I think we are supposed to get another few feet of snow which makes me so excited to get out of here for a while and work on being tan and warm. I wish everyone was coming with us, it would be really cool to meet up with all of my favorite people in a tropical location. We must do the cruise next year guys, it will be a memory to last a lifetime.
Okay must get back to work/ studying for midterms, my love to everyone in Buffalo, I miss you tons!

My new user pic is of my darling little Amber, who won a cat of the day award in May for this picture....

I love the color green, I am glad to be writing in it....
Currently I am at work (it seems I only update from work) I am in my office which is directly over a massive convention hall (think of the convention center before it was a casino) where the North East Motorcycle Expo is being held this weekend. As a result I keep hearing engines and bad 70's rock. However, I got to see the OCC guys bring out the Liberty Bike yesterday on my lunchbreak when the expo was setting up. If you are not familiar with the Discovery Channel show American Chopper then you will not care or understand what the hell I am talking about. For those of you who do know the show, I find it very entertaining and was a bit star struck to see them. It would be really cool if they were filming some of the show here but I didn't see any cameras or anything.
An aside to Jill, was bright eyes in boston this past week? Because I am pretty sure I saw Conner Oberst fans being escorted out of the lobby. He may have been staying here under an alias because his name nor bright eyes name was in the reservation system. Let me know
I had a crazy dream about Mike last night, some may find it creepy but I thought it was kind of neat. I had this dream that matt and I went to Vegas or someplace like it, on vacation. When we were there we decided to go to this museum like those crazy wax museums on clifton hill. So we go inside and I realize that the museum is all about my friends and I. Like there are little scenes of us in highschool in each part of the museums with wax figures of us. Like that picture of us from the slide show in the couch potato float re made with wax figures of us. And in the background of all of it there was recordings of our voices on that particular day that the scene was depicting. And then there were rooms that were set up exactly like each of our bedrooms were set up in high school all with these recordings. I was amazed at every room I went through at who could have saved all of these artifacts and actually tape recorded all of our conversations and taken the time to set up a whole museum of our high school lives. Of course it was Mike who was reading a book behind the counter of the gift shop. How crazy was that dream?!
Okay I guess thats all I am going to write for now because i am sure everyone is bored of my randomness for now. tata

I know its a miracle that I have updated. I never really have the time it seems. Sometimes I start an update but have to delete it because I don't have time to finish it. I am currently at work and it is pretty slow today thank god. If you haven't seen me online lately it is because my computer is somewhat in need of repair. I guess the Internet port no longer works so I am forced to do all of my online stuff like e-mail at work. However the firewalls don't allow me to go on aim. They did at one time, but someone squealed (not on me but in general) so we haven't had it for months now. I am working my fingers to the bone these days trying to pay off disney world. My travel agent informed me today that since I din't pay for my accomodations before the new year turned over I would not be able to get the rate I previously had been paying off because it was only a 2004 package so now I am subject to the new 2005 rates. She hasn't told me what they are yet (I will know by monday) but I can only assume they are higher, especially since 2005 is their big 50th anniversary thing ( I didn't know that at the time of booking it). Thankfully matt will be contributing to the disney fund even if in a small way, which will help.
Speaking of Matt, he just got back in to Boston today, I talked to him on the phone but haven't seen him (due to being here at work). I haven't seen him in a week and a half (a record for us). Tonight we are going to one of our favorite restaurants, the longhorn. The food is great but expensive, and I always find myself a little queezy because every five feet there is a massive bull head over the tables. Makes it extremely hard to eat a steak, but I never really eat red meat so once in a while my body demands it, steer head or no steer head.
I had another dream about me and jill opening up a don apparel like store on elmwood. Maybe fate is trying to tell me something? It will always be a thought in the back of my mind. I mean with my business degree and her fashion and sewing sense we could have a very fun hipster boutique on our hands. Food for thought.
I hate the work hour countdown. I have a little over two hours left, which could be shorter if you ask me. It would be more fun if I could change my accent for every call or answer the phone in snazzy ways. But no, no fun for Diana just bad small talk and paperwork.
Ok must go now for I have nothing left to really discuss, that is what happens when all you do is eat sleep and go to work....maybe I will have something more exciting to share at a later date. To mike and paul I hope your grandma is feeling better, had I have know I would have joined the many friends who called from afar. I send my good thoughts and wishes.To everyone else i miss you, and to jill, fate may be saying that we should open that place together what do you think of that? We could be like laverne and shirly working together....and we would totally wear our initials on all of our shirts. Mike would make a great squiggy....I digress....goodnight all
