Dennis Quaid and Anorexia
Did anyone else hear that Dennis Quaid confessed today to being anorexic. I guess years ago he had to lose lots of weight for a role and since then has been anorexic on and off. Like he said everytime he looks in the mirror, all he sees is fat. This makes me think about two things...

1. Dennis Quaid is not really skinny so um is he really anorexic or publicity stunt?

2. if he is really anorexic then do you think that is why Meg Ryan left him? I totally could see her doing that. She is dumb...i don' t like her...i haven't since she dated russell crowe...eww.

I love how you know all the latest celeb gossip. When I heard that I was like oh please- this is so a cry to get on Oprah.

East Aurora Happenings
Me, (e:mk), jen and diana decided to go to East Aurora for the day yesterday. It was nice out and so we wanted to just walk around and shop and eat. It was nice. We went to Vidler's which I love. It is just chock full of crap and penny candy. And they have a popcorn machine where you get a bag of popcorn for like 10 cents. Literally 10 cents. It is awesome. I also bought some tasty penny candy and FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS I FOUND CANDY CIGARETTES!!! I loved candy cigarettes when I was little but then they stopped having them anywhere but they had them there and they were so good. We went through like six packs yesterday, I am such a kid when I get candy, as in I have to eat it all right away. We also found if you light a candy cigareete, it smells good like a smore. Me and my friends are such classy 22/23 year olds that we were pretending to smoke fake cigarettes all night while we were out/at spot/ambrosia/walking. When will we stop being so cool!?!

I found some good finds while shopping. Besides the candy cigarettes and popcorn I also bought a video called Alice in Wonderland in Paris. I guess after she went to Wonderland, the next best place is Paris.It is about how after Wonderland she wanted to go to Paris. And she meets Francois a business mouse who is doing a cheese survey. And she will only tell him her favorite kind of cheese if he takes her to Paris. So he feeds her a magical cheese and then the fun ensues....how super random! I can't wait to watch it! I also bought a book at a used book store called 101 uses for a dead preppie. I just thought that was random too and it only cost 92 cents. Except you had to crawl under a table to look at the 92 cent books. None of my friends would but I have no shame and thank god I don't becuase I was able to find that great book.

Well I am loving this nice weather, even if it is rainy today at least it is warm...too cheers for spring!!!

Boomerangs and the such
No, not the kind of boomerangs those crazy aussies use but the new restaurant on Niagara Street sorta near the Peace Bridge. Me and (e:Mk) waited an hour last night to get a table. It was crazy though any place that has fish fries on a friday in lent in buffalo is always packed. I wouldn't have minded waiting except the guy who was seating definetely didn't like us for some reason. He definetely seated people who came in after us before us and was like totally ignoring us. The waiter was nice though and I tihnk totally noticed and offered to make us free drinks and stuff so that was nice even though we said we didn't want any. Anywho, once we got seated the food and service was good and so it it was good overall except the stupid host. His sheet where he wrote down peoples names was really crazy, their was no list-like quality about it , it was just names scribbled all over it everywhere. ANyway, so if you are going to go my recommendation is make reservations. Oh and be Italian. Everyone that worked and/or was eating there looked Italian, except Mary Kate, I tihnk that may be why we weren't seated fast. Cuz she is a craz yIrishmen.

After that we went to Friday's for dessert with Matt and (e:diana) and it was ok. I really don't like Friday's though except their tasty mints.

Then it was off to SoHo with (e:amanda) and jessica where they knew the bartender who gave us free drinks and shots which was nice. And VIP passes so you can cut in line and not pay cover. I have ended up at SoHo a lot lately and would never choose to go there proly but it has ended up fun.

Then I ended up going to pink and met up with (e:lilho) , (e:terry) and chris from california. The Pink and Soho have very different crowds and neither is really my scene or actually both are kinda I guess. I am not sure what my scene is. Anywho thats all for now.....

Praise from
Person to person,
Raising one;s

Indescribable feeling of

I LOVE PHOTOBOOTHS
I love the photo booth at Frizzy's. The sign now says it takes 7 minutes for a photo. I swear it used to say 2 but it always took like 7 anwyay but the new sign makes it seem much longer. Anywho, I love the photo booth and have quite the collection of photos from it over the years...so many good times. Here is one from Teres's going away party...hopefully more to come as I get control of them from my frineds (I like to be the holder of all pictures/memories)
