I KNOW IT IS ALMOST THE END OF THE DAY BUT

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SARAH, I HOPE IT IS GREEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTT!!!

I remember back in the day when estrip was mainly populated by people I knew outside of the estrip online world, some I met through the site, others I had known for long time. These were the days when the most posted were Keith, Robin, Jill, DrChlorine and Rachel among others. Now it is a estrip world more often populated with Springfaeries (who I now know), Maidencateyes, Metalpeter, Jason and others I don't really know. It makes it a very different thing. Not in a good or bad way just different. WIthout knowing the people, it is sometimes more fun to picutre what they are like but at the same time I don't necessarily feel the connection to what they write becuase I can not relate it to a person.

On another note, I would love to be on the Real World in Buffalo, or anywhere really for that matter!!!

SO MANY BIRTHDAYS!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHAMILLE AND TINA!! I HOPE THEY ARE AMAZING AND I WILL SEE Y'ALL LATER FOR SOME MAJOR BIRTHDAY PARTYING!!!!

Phew, me, Jill, Stephanie and Justin got 12 years worth of pentup Real World chatter done today at Spot. We seriously talked Real World with some Road Rules and Challenges thrown in for like an hour. It was mucho fun. Does anyone else find they have to watch a Real World marathon if it is on, even if you have already seen all the episodes, even if it means not leaving the couch for 15 hours straight, even if it means not driving your wife who is in labor the hospital, cuz I know I do love it that much. Seriously if I even sort of catch a glance of one episdoe I am drawn in for the entire day of the marathon. They continue the episodes so seamlessly without the credits that their is no time to get up or change the channel. Oh I love them so! I'm glad there are at least 3 other people who feel the same way. I can't wait for the next marathon, marathon party anyone?

How much do I love that Record Theater is now open right next to Canisius. I had a break today while we were waiting for Katrina to get out of class and so me and Amanda walked over there and I was able to buy the Wicker Park soundtrack I've been wanting so bad. It was so nice not to have to drive far away and just be able to get it right there while I had time. We then took a walk through Forest Lawn which is pretty, but Amanda is terrified of cemetaries but I was able to convince her to go in by promising we'd see ducks. We didn't end up seeing any ducks but we did go up to a personal mausoleum and look in. I went up and looked in first and when Amanda finally got enough courage to come look at it, some leaf or something fell and hit me in the face and I screamed and it freaked her out and she almost died b/c she thought the bodies had come back to life or something. Needless to say I don't think we will be visiting a cemetary together again anytime soon.

The Wicker Park soundtrack is soo good and I cannot stop listening to it. It has great songs by Postal Service, Mates of State, Death Cab for Cutie, STereophonics, Mazzy Star, a cover of The Scientist and so much more!!!! It is so good for the I"m in a funk kinda mood when you just want to sit and listen to your moody music. My favorite song by far is Strange and Beautiful by Aqualung,so my life sometimes, here's an excerpt....

I've been watching your world from afar,
I've been trying to be where you are,
And I've been secretly falling apart,
I'll see.
To me, you're strange and you're beautiful,
You'd be so perfect with me but you just can't see,
You turn every head but you don't see me.
