Couldn't think of a better way to spend my sunday evening... yeah to being home alone and detached from society... so this is what its like to be detached...

So the only option I'm really looking at from now to when I go to sleep (and wake up bright & early so Al can bring me back to UNH) is homework, but I reaaaaaaaally am kinda angry about getting started on it. Something is just waging war inside in my chestal cavity, and instead of cranking papers I'm crankin' rage (and complaints into LJ, but none of you mind). Stupid philosophy paper about poli activity that no one is going to write sincerely about... and is just going to BS some connections to philosophers. Meh, I guess I'll do that. English outline thingy... I think what's making this obnoxious is I have to search through sources for these things to find references... which can't be done quickly... alright next tangent.

So it wasn't really worth coming home I guess you might say. I do it a lot. I'm really only posting here to postpone my homework.... hey... the pats are on in an hour... yess. But yeah, I bet last night was friggin amazing at UNH, and I came home primarily for the stupid philosophy assignment and then didn't even have to anymore by the time I got here... and now... blah. I guess I'm done here, I'm sorry you wasted your time reading this. I wish there was an easier way to vent my stress, this didn't really work.

You're an emotional beast. No doubt about it. You'd never debate that fact. In fact, you're pretty darned proud of it. At the moment, however, the emotions that are usually right at the tip of your tongue, in addition to being written all over your intense little face, are even more obvious -- especially to that one person in particular for whom they're intended. Easy, there. Remember, mystery is one of your most seductive traits

You know me too well, horoscope.

So last night was definitely one of the better nights I've had here. Went out with my main man Bobby and some cool ladies Meag and Christine, and we hit PMD for a dance partay... too bad I forgot my camera. When they had to go, we took it to Zeta and almost won a game of rut (damn drunkenness) ... it seriously was close though. And they were good. Ok, thats enough of my defense.

SO we meet up with Katie and Erin at dhop and then I follow them back to Gibbs afterward. I hang out with Gibbians for a little while watching Chris Rock, and then head back to my room. First attempt to leap into my bed, miserable failure. Ow falling to the floor, I must've gone pure vertical on the jump. Second times a charm... but I guess I had to go to the bathroom...

I wake up in ...a bottom bunk? Did I sleep in Nate's bed?

Wait... that's AJ from a couple rooms down the hall. Oh, I slept in Wyatt's bed. Woooops!

Guess I took a wrong turn back from the bathroom... didn't quite strike me that my room was right across the hall... but hey the bed was comfy.

Now I should be writing papers but I think I'll go to the mall instead...plenty of time.... oh what a night.

sweet, pun intended

In other news, I have to "rewrite" two different papers. Y-e-s. First semester rules.

home again

2005-10-08T21:24:48Z

well its a good thing I never ridicule people who go home a lot.

Here I am, home again for the second straight weekend, third weekend out of four weeks... can you say intense? I'm home to see all my shs pals and hopefully have some fun... see if it can measure up to the past two nights. Ya never know.

So next weekend is going to be SICK. Wow, like a million people are coming up to visit, and Dane.... Dane is coming. Yes. Hell yes. Excitement looms in the air. Ok, I'm calming down.

Yeah thats all I really got right now, too bad I didn't take any pictures from the last two nights though...

ahh.. stretch

Fortune Cookie Say, "All the answers you need are right there in front of you!"

Had my psych exam today and I do believe it went pretty well, although every other question was worded to trick me. It's alright though, I sift right through the tricks. So I probably got an eighty something...bleh....next semester will be better and more fun I hope. Less stressful too.

So what else is new... only a couple days left til the weekend, I'm wicked pumped. John's visiting unh friday, although i'm not sure if I'll be here when he comes now cause i may have to get my ride home on that day (:P) so we'll see.

That's all i can think of for right now... poof

(my mood icon reflects the weather outside)

meh

Fortune Cookie say, All the effort you are making will ultimately pay off.

So right now I have the dilemma of what to do from now 'til English at 5:40... obviously the library comes to mind, and I could outline my philosophy paper or start catching up in psych reading or something. There's also some errand type stuff I could do... sign up for psych experiments, call about my individual education session (booo). Well I suppose I could just do all of the above (yawn). I need better stuff to do...

This weekend is the pats game... ooh yess. I shall look forward to that.

ahh....

2005-09-23T21:55:11Z

Just woke up from a glorious and re-energizing two hour power nap... and after sleeping 5 hours last night that was quite wise I will give myself that. Yes I will. Last night was fun, hangin out with people and being able to have a few without friggin' freaking out or having a judicial gavel up my ass. And an added bonus: KURTS CHEESY FRIES YES.

Not too much else new, this weekend I'll be pretty studious I guess. I have a bunch of work to get outta the way, so that will probably be tomorrow morning through the day with a break at night, and sunday through the day and to whatever time necessary.... just so you know. Haha. I still have to go to stoke at some point with 75 bucks to pay those people, and call the health services people about the class I get to take :):)! Ok enough jibba jabba, I'm gonna shower so I can go eat. Mmm, dinner... PEACE.

i am a scorp

i should go to bed now though... sleep is so sweet

fool of a took

2005-09-17T14:20:36Z

that would be me.

3am - rushed to hospital in ambulance
sometime later - discovered that i was found "in a dorm bathroom...laying in a pool of vomit"
6am - correctly guessed the right date (doctors playing games with me)
9am - check-out of the hospital

now if only i could find my ID and phone...

well at least my horoscope is still optimistic, check out what it has to say about today:

Quickie: The line between fantasy and reality is fading. It looks like dreams can come true.
Overview: A little distance gives you a wonderful new outlook, so treat yourself to something delicious. Go play in the park, roll around with the dog, or get a fancy meal out on the town. Live out a small treat you've always dreamed of doing.

Enough with the overanalyzing. It's time to act. The truth is, you're ultimately a creative creature, with talent to spare and the ability to inspire the people around you. You can galvanize even the most slack jawed type to participating in the schemes you dream up with enthusiasm and heart. The people around you can see how fantastic you are, so isn't it time you saw it in yourself? Big changes are coming, and the stars point to some great ones in store for you.

Daily Horoscope: Scorpio
In a day when Love is all around for the Scary Scorp, it's good to know that Moon in your Romance sector conjuncts Uranus. This unleashes great originality - a time to be making a pass with something New?

My fortune yesterday said "you should have a talk with your friend today." They've been pretty direct lately. Anyways, I better go try to find my ID and phone before my mom gets here... but where do i start looking!?!? Hahaha, oh no. Ok, I'm gonna go now.

eeehh

2005-09-16T22:18:13Z

Haven't tapped the LJ for a while. So this week's been pretty good, it went by a little faster and calmer than past weeks... no idea why. Today I only had spanish and work so I was like yes, I'll get to nap and stuff and it will be great. But no. I ended up having to work an hour overtime (Oh how I hate the dishes) and then I decided the whit was a good idea after that... well that part was my fault haha. But anyways, now I'm just exhausted and waiting to get hungry so I can round up whoever's here (so many people going home!) to go to dinner.

I'm going home this weekend tomorrow morning until early sunday (hopefully early... but who really knows how I'm getting back).. so that should be fun; you know, seeing my mom and the gang back at home... yeah home... that's where I wanna be. Hahaha. Well it should be OK, I'll give it that. I can finally get a haircut while I'm back too... y-e-s.

In terms of how I've been feeling lately, well at least I haven't been getting the colds and terrible allergies or insomnia (mono????) that some people I know have been getting... I'm just mentally and physically drained. Also I'm a little confused about some stuff cause my brain works in mysterious ways and decides to do what it wants... I was perfectly calm and at ease earlier this week, it started firing intensely the past few days, and now its just kinda overwhelmed. And I know what you're gonna say (if anyone reads this?) "well thats terribly vague" and I'd say

why am i here!? i should be writing a spanish paper

2005-09-12T02:36:08Z

all i can say is -- crazy cool weekend, maybe i'll add more later... but probably not.

hahaha

double ouch

2005-09-09T04:34:47Z

For anyone who feels like complaining, allow me to describe my evening:

-Sisterhood of the traveling pants (not the pats)
-I just cut my fingernails too short

Dare to compare?!?

Quickie: Your intensity is drawing people to you. You radiate power and confidence.

Overview: Is your heart fluttering? Well, it's no wonder, with the temperature jumping the way it is right now between you and you-know-who. You're intense, magnetic and passionately romantic about someone -- and they feel the same about you

Hahaha

I got a job. What?
I got a pet fish. (What?)
(Most of) my classes are pretty sweet.
(Shana is still) amazing. Buahaha.

Things are looking up, daddios.

Oh ps: I have to write a paper about the culture of amherst and how I fit into it.

:-D

2005-08-29T03:00:20Z

College is incredible already, and its just getting started... why am I actually excited for classes? I guess it remains to be seen if that will change. But roommates are sweet, life is good, Matt = mucho feliz. That's right, bringn on the espanol.

Oh and ps - Shana is amazing

So yesterday I chilled out most of the day, watched another one of my 2 for 99 cent movies (true romance - it was ok) and then went to avalon's for a little while before going camping with some kids. Camping was superb aside from the fact that I left my stuff in ryan's car, who left, and I didn't realize i'd freeze my balls off during the night. But hey, i'm never one to complain about pain. So basically I stole someones sweatshirt and sleeping bag, and after I tried cloves and peed on some spiderweb, I slept quite soundly.

I can't believe I have to start packing today. Not like, I don't want to do it, (well maybe, but) just can't believe the day is basically here. Two more days and I'm gone... I'm so excited. No idea what to expect, but still pretty excited.

Well I'm gonna go for a run... ate one too many cookies at the gathering last night. ;) Peace

Quickie: You've got what it takes in any situation. Use your power for good right now!

You scored as agnosticism. You are an agnostic. Though it is generally taken that agnostics neither believe nor disbelieve in God, it is possible to be a theist or atheist in addition to an agnostic. Agnostics don't believe it is possible to prove the existence of God (nor lack thereof).

Agnosticism is a philosophy that God's existence cannot be proven. Some say it is possible to be agnostic and follow a religion; however, one cannot be a devout believer if he or she does not truly believe.
