7:14 pm	Dear boys, trying to pick up girls on the street is really obnoxious. If I've never met you before and don't know anything about you chances are the answer is "No, I do not want to have coffee with you" It's especially obnoxious if you keep calling me a beautiful lady, creeper. -Mollie (He got what was coming to him though... some crazy man started harassing HIM once I finally brushed him off) (1 Comment |Comment on this)

10:05 pm	this week This week I went home for a gyn appointment and also because I did a product research session with some company in concord and they paid me $100 bucks. Aaand Dunks only scheduled me for thur. and fri. So I came home and got a lot of shit done: 1. Went through grams old craft books and decided which I wanted. 2. Cleaned the music cabinet which was the collectible plate and candy and uno cabinet in my great aunt and uncle's house. I think there will always be melted peppermint candy coming out of that wood, but it's not sticky anymore. 3. Backed up my mom and dad's photos (which takes more effort than it should because their disc burner doesn't work properly and can only burn a small amount to each disc) 4. Bought stuff I need for crafts 5. Made a care package for some friends going through a hard time (cookies and toys are my stand-by) 6. Helped mom and dad wrangle the kiddos on marcie and chris's anniversary and stopped Sam from having an "I miss Mommy" melt down. 7. Saw 3 of my mom's siblings, my gram K and her sister mary and mary's husband bob as well as some cousins 8. booked a couple of theater calls. My sense of accomplishment was great this week. Saturday I am training to volunteer with Horizons for Homeless children, which I am both excited and nervous about. One more day this week at dunks. woo....and I only worked today. hahhahaha. agh.

11:33 pm	I hate when places that don't usually hurt, hurt. *sigh* I should do yoga more often and hurt less rather than do it rarely and hurt every time afterward. I mean.. It's awesome when I do it with any regularity. Current Mood: achey (1 Comment |Comment on this)

11:34 pm	blaah I haven't updated since Chris left. he was here for about a week. We had a lot of fun. ( This is what we did ) Chris also got to finally see the Mapparium. We had a really fun week. And now, I miss him. Since Chris left.. eh, Same old same old. I need a new job. ( I am trying ) Also I have started exploring the glories of the Slow Cooker. This summer we have been working out my gram and my great uncle and aunts estates. I ended up with my Gram's slow-cooker and some of my uncle and aunts cook books. (many of which they rated the recipes in) I figure that I cannot fail with their help. Or something. I'm going to try a Pot roast on Saturday. I made a broccoli dish for a potluck last weekend. My mom thinks my new cooking ventures are amusing. I do too. especially as cooking and handling meat terrifies me. i think I have a new obsession with Destination Truth.... EEEE.

8:24 pm	Interesting Day So, I had a very interesting today. Though Chris came in on Friday and is more or less staying at my house I was by myself today while he helped his friends pack up their house for their big move back to CA. So after some breakfast Chris headed out and I watched Project runway, saw the sheer gown, wasn't quite as scandalized as I had hoped to be and then got ready to leave to go to the St. Anthony Feasts Festival in the North End. On my way to the T, I notice that they are getting ready for some kind of event at Spontaneous Celebrations (a local community recreation/outreach building/program) And I look at the chalk they put down on the side walk and it says cool things like "Drumming, Free Food, Capoeira, Workshops, Dancing" I think that sounds fun.. but then I realize It's still early enough for me to go to the Farmers Market by Stoney Brook, So I go and get some Shelled Beans! THEN, I go back to Spontaneous Celebrations because it sounds totally fun in there. And the lady at the door told me what was going on, gave me a program, and made me feel really welcome. And I go upstairs, and am having a good time when.. 3 or 4 minutes later... I realize I am the only white person in the building... Then I read my program and it mentions that this is being put on by a group for the black community.. ... HAHA. It did not say this ANYWHERE on the ads and the directives outside. I felt like I had crashed some kind of party and felt like people were going to start asking me who I belonged to. At this point after having been so welcomed downstairs I felt there was no WAY I could just leave, so I got myself some food and hung out and chatted and listened to the music..for 15 or twenty minutes. Feeling Kind of awkward. Everyone was really nice to me... I had fun. it was just.. really strange. Then I caught the T to the North End where posed as a Catholic, watched them walk St. Anthony around, and went to the really pretty francisican church with the peace garden. I also got some really over priced Pizza and Soda. And almost got an ice cream canolli, but after the price of the pizza and soda, I felt passing would be for the best. It was a good day! And now I'm friggin exhausted and I get to work at 6 am again tomorrow... Yaaaay. *gag*. Goodnight mittens, goodnight kittens. Current Mood: sleepy (1 Comment |Comment on this)

7:09 pm	Boredom. I am bored. Friggin bored. I fail at making plans these days. I guess I save money that way? Anyroad. My birthday was on Wednesday and it was nice. Mom and Jennie (sister) came out to see me. I got some nice things. Black Converse (which rocks because all my other shoes are disintergrating), season 1 of crossing Jordan, the cast album to rock of ages, and a nice shirt. I also got scratch tickets from my gram K and some cash from uncle ray and aunt kazue. And some cards from Aunt Jane and Aunt Sue. and a gift cert. from Barnes and noble.com from Marcie and her family. and I bought myself the MONTEREY POP DVD!!! (which was 50% off!) Laura Nyro Live in Japan Joni Mitchell - Clouds and Pentangle - Basket of Light. I am very excited for my new music to arrive in the mail. Mom brought Jennie and I out to lunch and I showed them jamaica Pond. because it rocks. Other than that. Work at Dunkin has been pretty chill. It'll be fine for awhile. I'm on the schedule for 27 1/2 hours next week which is more than I was ever expecting. I just might break even this month. I'm doing a research study at MIT on tuesday which will pay me $15 which will pay for next weeks T pass. blah... I've been feeling really bereft lately. This month has really been something. Between Uncle Pete's death, Chris's moving, and the big-ass yard sale we had of the things in Gram Claire's apartment last weekend I'm just feeling.. heavy loss. With the yard sale I took the things of gram's that I'd been meaning to take because otherwise they were going to be put on the lawn for sale. I took her knitting box (it's on legs, it's like a piece of furniture), a lot of her cookware, and various other things. And when chris left, he gave me his plastic storage drawers, bedside table, lamp, and big pink chair. What it comes down to... Is I feel like my house is filled with a bunch of things that are nice to have. I can cook more, I have a chair to sit in when Jeremy and I both watch TV, I can store more of my clothes and things. But it's all such a shitty trade. Also, people have started looking to buy Uncle Pete and Aunt Pat's house which is so sad, but it is part of a trust and must be sold to be split up. I don't know. In many ways things are going ok for me right now and I feel motivated to start moving on projects and things I want to do. In other ways Life is just shit city and nothing is easy or right right now.. Anyraod. I'm really bored. so I think I may go watch some crossing Jordan season 1. and maybe eat some ice cream.

6:50 pm	Someone finally re-designed the NEU Theater department website so it actually looks legitimate. (and it does look really good. Kudos to whoever actually did it.) Also, I'm on it?!? http://nuweb2.neu.edu/theatre/cms/publish/studentlife/ The little girl waaay to the right next to the stove and in rags. The one show I got to act in there.. and I died before intermission. HA. (I did LOVE LOVE LOVE my costume though. I did not love the two or three times I accidentally digested some portion of the soap based blood when I was supposed to be coughing it up.) Also, frighteningly. I don't remember a couple of the production stills...At all. And they are definitely from the time that I was there judging by who was in them.. (almost all of them except the one from Bird Flu, but I saw that one and knew what it was.) I feel old. Current Music: Maybe this time - cabaret. (4 Comments |Comment on this)

7:53 pm	Oh, I also failed to mention the fact that Last friday I spent the day with one of my good high school friends Vince and his girlfriend Laura and we had a super time at FREE DAY at the Science Museum. We also met up with MJ and his boyfriend Dan for dinner and some of Vince's cousins. It was a fantastic day. And the Fourth was spent with Lucas and his friend James. Lucas grilled and I made the boys eat my cookies.. but not euphemistically... We then went down to the fireworks on the charles. So yeah. Despite death and being broke... many good thigns have been happening. Visiting hours for uncle pete are on Sunday and the funeral is on monday. I will probably be in NH Sat-Wed. It almost feels as though it couldn't have actually happened...going home is going to hurt a little I think. (Comment on this)
7:39 pm	Crazy days So aside from the big event of this week. Let us recount the happier events, shall we? -I got to hang out with one of my close childhood friends, Christy, that out of stupidity I hadn't seen in years. We saw the Chorus Line documentary "Every Little Step" at the Colonial theater. And got yummy foods at Margaritas. We had a very good time. -I went to see my mom's family on Wednesday which was fantastic. I still can't believe how tall my "baby" cousin Cole is. Maaan, he was my little buddy for so long and now he's a big tall man. -I got hired on the spot at Dunkin Donuts.. which in and of itself is awesome. The details are that it's only 20 hours a week at 8.25. So Let's hope I get something better soon and can maybe hold both jobs. I start on Mon the 20th. -I found a super cheap restaurant near my new place of employment... I am kind of in love with it. It's called Viga. -I had a phone interview for a company I really like today. I am not really sure how that went though. -I did a research study at harvard today. Highlights were playing Taboo with some random chick while having all kinds of sensors taped to my body. Then I had to give them 4 tubes of saliva samples. I got drool all over my pants. I made $29.50. Um? Huh. -I was able to find the Monterey Pop video footage at the northeastern library and got it out to bring to NH. I think it will make my mommy and daddy happy. Mommy and I watched the outtakes DVD the other day and then showed dad the bands we knew he liked that were on it. and Finally... Not really a GOOD thing to have happened but an amusing anecdote none the less. I almost got run off the road by a truck on my way back to boston from NH Wednesday. I was driving along and then big truck tries to pass me.. and then when it passes me to the extent that I was in his blind spot he tries to GET IN MY LANE. I should have started honking, but without thinking I swerved into the lane next to me which was an off-ramp to a McDonalds/Fuel stop on the side of the highway Thank God no one else was in this lane. I drove right in to the McDonalds lot, parked, got out, and reflected upon just how true that commercial was and how much I really did need a break today. I then proceeded to order a honey mustard chicken wrap. Thank you Golden Arches. Current Mood: amused (1 Comment |Comment on this)

4:23 pm	My Great Uncle Pete died early this afternoon. He went into the hospital a week and a half ago and at that point we all expected he would come home after a short stay. Being sedentary at the hospital helped breed many blood clots and they found what might have been a tumor in his lungs. It was a very unexpected and fast decline. I was home by chance and I got to go in and hang out with him this morning before he died and be with my dad so dad would not have to be at the hospital alone while my uncle ray was tending to my aunt kazue. My Great Aunt Pat died about 3 years ago. Uncle Pete was/is devoted to her. She had a stroke when I was in high school and he tended to her by himself during the end of her life. She broke her hip and died very unexpectedly in the hospital and since then life had been very tough for Uncle Pete. Now they get to be together again and with my Grammy claire. I miss all three of them so much. My Uncle Pete was a really sweet man and he and Aunt Pat were a super hip couple. They winterized their lake house so they could retire in their sweet vacation home. We spent many Thanksgivings and Fourths of July's there. They were wonderful hosts. I have many happy childhood memories of swimming with them in their lake picking green beans with them in their garden and being laughed at as I practiced my putting with Uncle Pete's in home putting set. Uncle Pete loved Golf. He loved tending to his home and yard. He also had a sweet Party boat which he loved to take us all out on.. and horrifically.... Let me drive.. =) He and Aunt Pat were super hosts. They always had games and toys for me and my sisters. They were always very good to all of us when we went to visit. Sadly I don't know a lot about my Uncle Pete that pre-dates me. He was a teacher. And he and aunt pat met one summer when she was home from college. When they decided they wanted to be together uncle pete went into boston to get her and one of their leaving errands was to let Aunt Pat's boston boyfriend know. They never had kids, I don't think aunt pat could.. But they went on a lot of awesome adventures. And lived in their awesome house. And they had an awesome dog named J.J. Sullivan or Sully. Uncle Pete without Aunt Pat was always a little strange... When she died Uncle Pete went to visit her grave pretty much every day. I am wearing one of Aunt Pat's necklaces that Uncle Pete gave to me. What I am thankful for is that Uncle Pete's death was quick.. and now Aunt Pat and Uncle Pete are together again. I still wish I could be 7 again and have everyone back.

9:14 pm	One of my tonsils is swollen.. This is really really annoying. In other news. I answered phones for the dept. of public health the other day. The phone never rang and I ended up finishing the Laura Nyro biography and studying for the GRE. Not a bad couple of days all in all. I also finally have all of my paychecks that I have been waiting for. I still need job. Meh. Anyone want to do the Esplanade thing for the 4th? I would love to not go alone. Let me know.

6:57 pm	So my boyfriend moved out of his apartment and started his trek cross country with his friends yesterday. Don't really know what will happen now, as we didn't really talk about that, but I am going to miss him a lot. I am minus a chris and plus a bunch of drawers and a big pink chair. The drawers have organized a bunch of my stuff, and the cat loves the chair. Thanks Chris! Blaaah. yesterday was a day for crying. Today I found out my great uncle was in the hospital. =\ I hope they fix him up and he's well again. Poor uncle pete has had a really really tough year and a half. I didn't do much today - went to the library and go my uncle a get well card. Tomorrow I will probably go to the health and fitness expo in the hynes center and get free shat. And I have work on Monday and Tuesday. Yay! I'm tiiired. Current Mood: tired (Comment on this)

10:40 pm	oh pandora The Circle Game just came up on Pandora. When I was a child I used to cry nearly every time I heard that song. I dreaded growing up in so many ways. It feels strange to listen to it now with those connotations when I am 3 years past the last revolving year. I remember one night when I was in 4th or 5th grade just bawling because I was midway through grade school. How weird. I think I was a weird kid. Part of it was my growing up always meant that my whole family was going to grow older and I in some way have always felt profoundly guilty because of that. Also, I've always felt like I've never spent my time well. Or accomplished anything. And every year or grade older I always felt regret that I missed opportunities from the grade before. I think I might have always been a nut job. Regardless, the point is, it's so weird to look on things from childhood that I related to my own age and growth and hearing them as being in the past. Like, movies from the "high school/coming of age" genre are soo weird. It's so strange to reconcile How you thought something was going to be when you were a kid to how it seemed at the time to what it looks like in reflection. I'm feeling weird.

7:47 pm	So I'm studying for the GRE. Shameful that almost all of my high school years of math class have since been wasted. Not to mention my apparently shit-poor sparse vocabulary. *sigh* At least I got all the vocab questions in the easy section from my book correct. Math was really another story. Oh yes, and, Summer? Stop hiding behind those dark clouds, dammit. WAKE UP. Current Mood: cold Current Music: It's Oh so Quiet. - Bjork (2 Comments |Comment on this)

11:42 am	I FINALLY FIGURED OUT HOW TO FIX WHAT THE CAT'S ASS DID!!!! So occaisionally Roxy will sleep on my computer. I don't like this.. but anyway.. On one profile her ass made one profiles have a white on black display.. rather than a black on white display. I had no idea what she had done, or how to change it for a couple of weeks. Then last night I found my computer zoomed in. THIS one I figured out the correct language to use on "Help" And I found a spiffy zoom feature.. and the feature that changes the color. and now I can use my computer again!!!!!! Yaaaaay.
