Why do people feel the need to purposely hurt their "best friend"? Honestly...it's not cool to sleep with people like its ur job, even when it's at the risk of a friendship. Yuck people suck. How can people change soooo drastically over one year? It's just a shame that that change was for the worse. I'm sorry you are who you are and you think it is okay to treat people like shit. Okay im done venting. :o)

Anyways...does anyone know how to put a pic on their LJ when they update? I suck at life and i have a cute pic i wanna put on and im going to have one of my baby cousin soon so help me out PrOnTo

And just for your information...i DOMINATED in my Business presentation, yeah im the shit as of now. But give it a couple of days cuz i am going to be studying my balls off all weekend!

Oh yeah...CoNgRaTs to my cousin Sunny on her second beautiful child :o) Yay for Jenna Reese Scully!

Tue, 12 Apr 2005 20:10:41 GMT

A year has past and now we stand on the brink of returning to a world where we are surrounded by the paradox of everything yet nothing being the same. In a few weeks we will reluctantly give our hugs and, fighting the tears, say goodbye to the people who were once just names on a sheet of paper to return to people that we hugged and fought tears to say goodbye to before we ever left. We will leave our best friends to return to our best friends. We will go back to places we came from and go back to the same things we did last summer and every summer before. We will come into town on that same familiar road, and even thought it has been months, it will seem like only yesterday.

As you walk into your old bedroom, every emotion will pass through you as you reflect on the way your life has changed and the person you have become. You suddenly realize that the things that were most important to you a year ago don't seem to matter so much anymore, and the things you hold highest now, no one at home will completely understand. Who will you call first? Where are you going to work? Who will be at the party Saturday night? What has everyone been up to? Who from school will you keep in touch with? How long before you actually start missing people barging in without calling or knocking? Who will get taco bell with you at three in the morning? How long until you adjust to sleeping in a room by yourself, or how long before you realize your three best friends aren't in the bed next to your room?

Then you realize how much things have changed, you realize the hardest part of college is balancing the two completely different worlds you now live in, trying desperately to hold on to everything all the while trying to figure out what you have to leave behind. In the matter of one day's traveling time, we will leave our world of living next door to our best friends, walking across campus to eat, instant messenger, 8:00 classes, and perpetual procrastination to a world that will seem foreign to us despite the fact that we have lived in it for eighteen years.

But it is different now... We now know the meaning of true friendship. We know whom we have kept in touch with over the past year and whom we hold dearest to our hearts. We've left our high school worlds to deal with the real world. We have had our hearts broken, we've fell in love, we've helped our best friends through the toughest times of their lives, something even their best friends at home couldn't be there for. We've stayed up all night just to be there for a friend. We've partied the night away, doing stupid stuff, but we were always there for each other afterwards. There have been times when we've felt so helpless being hours away from home when we know our families or friends needed us most, and there are times when we know we have made a difference.

A few weeks from now we will leave. A few weeks from now we take down our pictures, and pack up our clothes. No more going next door to do nothing for hours on end. We will leave our friends whose random emails and phone calls will bring us to laughter and tears this summer. We will take our memories and dreams and put them away for now, saving them for our return to this world.

A few weeks from now from now we will arrive. A few weeks from now from now we will unpack our bags and have dinner with our families. We will drive over to our best friend's house and do nothing for hours on end. We will return to the same friends whose random emails and phone calls have brought us laughter and tears over the past year. We will unpack old memories and dreams that have been put away for the past year.

A few weeks from now we will dig deep inside to find the strength and conviction to adjust to change and still keep each other close. And somehow, in someway, we will find our place between these two worlds.

In a few weeks....

Yeeee Haaawww

Last weekend i went home and enjoyed the usual family fun. I went to pom practice with Erin on Friday and i have to say i really enjoyed it!!! i <3 Pom. Anyways, i went to the game that night to see my bubby's and then went out to good ole' GC Cafe with the fam after the game :o)

Saturday morning i went to the pom practice again and did the best i could to cheer them on!! And then i had a fun night @ the Pistons game with my dad!! we went out to eat before the game and spent some good quality time together...gotta love it

Thats all for now...im off to take my first BCA exam in an hour, wish me luck!!!

Hey Ya'll

Fri, 11 Feb 2005 06:29:07 GMT

Yeah so i definitely had a movie day alllll day long. Mostly because of the fact that i have the biggest/ugliest/mutant-like zit attached to the rim of my lip!!! Yeah me and zits usually dont hang out but i guess my face was being reallly cool today. I popped it yesterday and today i woke up with what looked like a battle wound above my lip AND a fat lip! How do you get a fat lip from popping a zit? All you doctors please give me some advice here...

Anyways so i stayed in all day and got moral support and visits from my friends because i vowed not to leave the room for longer than a 1/2 hour until this baby is gone for good. Jess and i got food very very quickly then we went to her room got The Notebook and brought it to my room and balled our eyes out along with Colleen for the entire f'ing thing. After that was said and done i was so drained and mopey that i just layed around. Michelle came for a visit and we watched the OC and the Apprentice and ate Domino's then she had to sober! Haha you lucky dog! Then...oh yes it gets less exciting...i watched Garden State with the roomies and <3'ed every second of it! Oh how i love Zach Braff!!!

So it was a day of sitting in front of the tube and popping my never ending zit. Not too exciting to many but still super fun for me. Two great LoVe movies...what a day <3 Now i just need a cuddle partner.

Well im headed home this weekend for STATES and me and E are gunna tear up the practices and game LoL we are such losers! ehhh what can ya do?!? Anyways im off to bed and then i will be back in the G @ 2:00. ByE ByE
