12:30 pm Eh.. Its been eternity since i last updated.. I survived the semester from hell and have narrowed down grad schools to UIC because it has a health concentration and AIDS education program that Jane Addams runs.. Im pumped.. I will try to give a brief recap of only fun things from the last.. eternity..
*New Years Eve in Twin Lakes was fun.. no one died.. and Ellen drove 7 hours to spend 12 hours with us then drove 7 hours back.. very random
*I made the Deans List
*I may have my field placement for next year
*Last weekend we went to Champaign (Ellen, Chris, Tom and I) to stay with Kevin and Sarah.. um.. Kevin made me chug 3 beers and a martini (in addition to 4 1/2 drink I drank normal) and I died.. all over Kevin's apartment.. and his couch.. then rolled in it..and woke up at 5 am with just my bra and my pants with death on them.. and Chris came home from the bar (that was 3 blocks away) 3 hours later.. and no one knows how he spent that time.. rock out Kid Lightning
*Anthony and Jesslyn still have no baby.. ugh
*I however have a new niece.. Isabelle Dove Westerlund.. she is Soooooooooo cute with the chubbiest little cheeks ever
*Ross and I went to Wisconsin to see Abby and Taylor.. cutest two children ever I am so in love with them.. Taylor has this crazy sticky up hair and I love her
*Spent a week in Chicago after Christmas.. was a good time.. Sam made a brief surprise visit.. that was nice.. I enjoy her.. I also got to meet 847593 new people.. and did not pass out in the cab like last time.. which meant I was able to enjoy 4 am pizza.. ssccooorree
*Ellen moved in over Christmas break.. much enjoyable... now we really are like siamese twins
*I miss my Whitehall boys and all of their ridiculousness...
*I cannot currently think of any new things to mention
*I get to spend the weekend at my mom's chillaxin.. and I cannot wait
*Must finish cleaning my house and reading 0485384352 pages of soc.. for some reason another semester of Brian Phillips sociology hell sounded like fun.. I should be institutionalized.. Current Mood: busy

10:21 pm - I wish I had something witty I don't remember when I last updated so we'll start with Friday.. hung out with Jeremy from FFC.. got drunk.. watched movies.. had fun.. i like him..
Waking up at 8 with a hangover was fun too.. because it meant that A)I got to go back to sleep and B)I finally got to drink.. Gardella's next week.. can't wait.. I love my SW ladies.. Happy early Birthday Jeremy.. you'll be the first person I ever bought a drink for.. I think that even includes me..
Saturday Ross stopped over.. I like seeing him when we dont want to kill each other..then I worked alllll day.. and Mike rocks and let me leave early BECAUSE.. THOMAS WAS COMING UP..oohh it was needed.. it is seriously like hanging out with myself.. we are eerily the same.. he even has all the friends DVDs.. I dont know if I am supposed to publicize it.. sorry.. he also told me some lame story on sunday about him and Kristin and an episode of Friends.. and that episode was on last night.. I was creeped out.. in a good way.. no actually it wasn't.. it was in a bad way.. that kid is definetely my new best friend.. he joins a very respectable list including but not limited to: Ross, Sarah, Stacy, Liz, Sissy, Ellen, Alexis and Hannah.. its quite illustrious.. he should be so lucky
There was much fear that bad things would happen because Michigan hates Tom because he always talks shit.. but this time there was no bathtub or stupid comments.. it was a success.. I FINALLY saw the Robert Goulet SNL skit.. Tom thought it was much funnier than I did.. that's to be expected though..
Sunday.. oye vey.. we went to Whitehall.. had lunch with my dad.. I think that I don't even need to go into that because if you know my dad you can visualize this experience.. Tom dislikes him as much as he figured that he would.. which makes my mom LOVE him.. then we went to Grandpa's.. who now thinks that because I know a Catholic.. I will be a Catholic.. sorry Gramps.. it doesnt work like that..
We took my dad out.. and we wanted to go to Villa.. because its almost decent.. by Whitehall standards its outstanding.. but.. its not so much.. but of course Villa was closed because that is the cool thing to do on Sundays.. so we had to go to Wayside.. after my dad suggested Corsi's.. yea.. thats what I want to subject Tom to.. so we went Wayside.. which is really very shady.. even by Montague standards.. poor Tom.. and my dad was hitting on the 22 year old waitress.. and I called him out on it and he got mad.. ridiculus.. she was disgusting and my age.. SICK.. sick..
Tom taught my mom the proper way to say "so is your face" and she told him it was something little kids say.. and tom told her that him and the rest of the LOL regularly said it.. and my mom looked at him like he was an idiot.. it was HILARIOUS.. and now.. my mom has found her new favorite phrase.. which she will probly never ever use right.. but it will still be funny hearing my mom say "so is your face" to everything.. which she will.. I thought about teaching her "balls" but I thought that was too much for one day.. I also did not get the chance to fully explain "blow wench" and how it pertains to breathylizers.. so she thinks im a slut
My mom invented her own word.. apparently I am a hoozie.. which is a ho and a floozie mixed.. It really is the ultimate insult coming from a 45 year old mother.. a fucking hoozie.. ridiculous Success.. finally.. it will be nice to see him again..hopefully soon...
Monday.. I got a haircut.. and I love it.. and then Sarah and I had breakfast.. involving bagels with no holes.. which are apparently still bagels.. we also learned there are bagels with no holes and cream cheese in the middle.. that you can order online.. I dont know about the safety of ordering dairy products online.. but thank you Tom for the information..
Sarah and I also discussed that people need to stop getting old and married and having kids and being grown up.. we arent ready for that.. not even a little.. I dont think I ever want to grow up.. ever
My 19 year old cousin is pregnant.. its nice to be the pride of the family and not the fuck up.. my sister and I will look like saints now.. so great.. ugh.. so trashy
They played Citizen Cope on LB last night.. I could cry.. they played Tristan on One tree Hill.. I am beyond depressed.. BEYOND
I saw Gilbert today.. it made me think of freshman year.. and how he was basically my best friend.. even though I dont think he knew.. but.. he was.. 75% of everything I remember involved us hanging out.. it was good to reminisce... like the time we ordained ourselves online (Tom you are just a poser :)).. and the time he tried to make me steal soap.. unfortunately.. our marriage plans are off.. it seems he will be married by the time he is 35.. I need a new back up... Current Mood: satisfied Current Music: Citizen Cope

09:57 pm - I will kick Social Works ASS.. I OWN YOU biatch Ray LaMontagne is better than sex.. Ross and I went to D-town Thursday to see him and it was spectacular.. even if it was in the ghetto and I didn't get to drink in Canada.. It was fun hanging out with Ross.. it had been FOREVER since we last hung out..
Tom's weekend visit didn't go quite as planned.. Im pretty sure Michigan hates him and wants him to be miserable.. we still had fun.. went out with the Magician and Amie and the Mormon and James.. and Katie called Ray Trickle and it was the best thing ever ever ever.. it was such fun.. even though it wasn't what we expected.. it was still good..
School has been kicking my ass lately but my candidacy application is in and my field application is in and I met with my advisor and she said everything is perfect and I decided that since I am such a glutten for punishment and will have so much free time on my hands that Im going to.. **GASP** double major.. in sociology.. because I have almost enough credits and who doesn't want 2 degrees for the price of one and maybe this will help me get into a good grad school.. so.. everyone brace yourself for even more panic on my part for the next year and a half..
OoOoO.. I can't believe I forgot to mention this previously.. I bought a fish.. his name is Burt Goulet after Burt Natarus (Alderman for Ward 42.. not as cool as 38 but that's a given) and Robert Goulet.. SPEAKING of Burt Natarus..I am the proud owner of the Burt Natarus bobblehead.. oh its a splendid thing.. Tom even used it to re-enact Burt's recent fainting smell and subsequent trip to the hospital.. I wish The Alderman would have his own bobblehead.. but Tom said it is just not in the card.. apparently Jan is also veto-ing it as The Alderman's head is too long?
Ellie and I did the AIDS walk this past weekend for the BSWSO (which we dont even belong to).. and it was sick amounts of fun.. we got x-tra large t-shirts and side rolled them and walked 3 miles with only one mention of "I have diabetes I could die" because Ellie and I are lazy asses.. it thrilled me to no end to see so many people supporting a cause so close to my heart.. I get all giddy thinking about it.. I almost cried looking at the crowd.. oh I am a lame ass..
Tom is coming up this weekend.. ugh.. we are so lame.. but things have been ridiculously shitty in that department after the recent trip up here.. so hopefully a visit will smooth things over.. unfortunately said visit includes lunch with my father and grandfather.. which means that tTom will never ever speak to me again after Sunday.. so when you read this.. It was swell knowing you :)
Midterms start next week.. the joy i feel in anticipation of that is overwhelming.. and I still need to find a service learning place.. if that could happen.. things would be a lot less stressful and i could smile again.. because I am currently being a big piece of shit to everyone and many apologies I will do my best to shape up Current Mood: determined Current Music: RAY LAMONTAGNE

08:57 pm - Balls well.. things may or may not be slightly less anxious.. for now
Had a pretty decent weekend..got out of work at 6:30 on Friday instead of 9:30 and on Saturday I got cut at 2 instead of 3.. which is always awesome because I drove to my parents for the night.. hung out with my mom for a little bit.. visited dad.. ALWAYS a treat.. then.. completely random.. went out for drinks with Dave Wilks.. whom I havent hung out with in like.. 3 years.. but I ran into him at the beer tent and thought "what the hell, why not" it was all kinds of fun.. I got wasted and we had drinks with my dad at Corsi's.. then I went to bed because on sunday.. sigh.. Sunday :)
Amie Blake is my hero.. she called me on Friday to see if I wanted to go to Chicago on Sunday for the day.. which was stellar as always.. Tom and I gambled away our money on turtles and bingo.. and tom got yelled at for breaking some ladies bingo concentration.. they take shit like that very seriously at OLV.. they also take drinking very seriously.. crazy ass Catholic drunks.. then we had wings with Mike and Jackie and Sam.. which was fun.. Tom bought normal people clothes.. very impressive..
I miss Ross.. well.. I did until 2 seconds ago.. but that isn't going in the LJ.. I havent hung out with him in forever.. and I am not so much a fan of that.. we're supposed to see Ray Lamontagne next week.. I cant wait.. I love RL.. and he rocked at Bonnaroo.. and i thought it would be nice for us to have some time like that.. but apparently not.. this sucks
balls
Tom is coming up this weekend.. we're having dinner with the mormon and the magician.. well.. a couple other people too.. but they dont have nicknames.. it should be fun.. I need a relaxing weekend like WHOA.. and next week.. Ray LaMontagne in D-town.. more later Current Mood: cranky Current Music: ANTM

07:53 pm - I need a Xanax Life is ridiculous and stressful and wonderful all at once.. I have nothing exceptionally usefull or interesting to talk about. School is possibly more stressful than anything I have ever imagined. This week alone I am working 45 hours between 2 jobs (and an hour of commuting a day), taking 14 credit hours, and doing about 15 hours of homework.. that equals like an 80 hour work week.. I also think that i have an anxiety disorder.. at anytime I may fly into a panic attack about any of the following:
-soulmates -getting accepted into the BSW -getting accepted into a field placement -keeping my GPA high enough to stay in the program if I am accepted -finding a grad school -getting accepted into grad school -paying for grad school -working 40 hours a week plus school -90% of the things involving my house -having time for friends -writing a 100 papers and reading 8 chapters a week -finding a volunteer position -everything having to do with my campus job
I have to stop the list.. im having a panic attack right now.. Current Mood: anxious Current Music: The OC whorebag

08:31 pm - Tales from the Blow Wench Labor Day weekend=ridiculous fun.. went to Chi town for 4 days and am no longer considering grad schools in any other city. Friday we went out with Jim and Gretchen and got wwassstteedd.. and went to a live band karaoke bar.. and it was the most fun EVER.. and I drank like.. a bottle of wine.. which I never ever do.. good wine.. and i liked it.. Ross and Jim smoked cigarrettes together.. and it was insane.. basically the whole weekend was insane because we've never really hung out with Jim and Gretchen.. and next thing you know.. we are wasted with them.. Saturday we walked downtown.. because we got lost on the way to the El.. and my personal mapquest rescued us.. whew.. but we still walked like three miles.. then hung out with Gretch.. SUNDAY I got to see my boooyysss.. oh how I love them so.. Bradyfest did not dissapoint.. well.. maybe a little bit.. but only attendance wise.. but I did get to meet BOB and BOG and the BOGgle.. and Johnny.. hoho.. and the highlite of the night.. the breathilyzer Tom bought for Mike's birthday.. the Blow Wench and the Blow Master dominated.. and Mike and Johnny took the prize for being drunkest.. with a highly inaccurate .39 and .37 respectively.. unfortunately Mike passed out before midnight so his score is null and void... Bobby was there.. that was awkward.. shot death rays at Tom all night.. and ignored me the rest of the time.. hahaha
Social Work is kicking my ass.. today was the WORST DAY EVER.. I had to eat an entire piece of pizza in less than a minute.. then haul my ass back to class.. then my schedule is all messed up and the school is trying to charge me more money.. and work SUCKED SUCKED SUCKED.. and my sister left me.. and the bus stopped running.. so my f-ing boss had to give me a ride home.. and Lindsey had locked me out of the house.. and i missed the beginning of the OC.. LIFE SUCKS..
The boy on the bus next to me today was wearing too strong cologne.. and it gave me a headache
The only upside to this day is that the OC season premiere is on tonight.. Ive been waiting months for this.. since the finale came on
I wore my pajamas to work today.. and I liked it.. made things a little better... Current Mood: bitchy Current Music: The OC Biatch

11:15 pm - Social Work will be eating my soul for the next two years Holy Cripes... thats all that I can say about this semester so far. The BSW program is going to eat me alive. I have 409530 papers due in every class, I'm working 35 hours a week at 2 jobs, and I have to find time to enjoy being 21 and volunteer for 5 hours a week. WTF is all that I can say about that. Thankfully Ellen and Liz are in all my classes and I will be spending the next 2 years with the same 80 people. It's slowly becoming a baby cult.. I just dont think that anyone else gets the pain and agony that is the BSW.
Ellen and I lost our public transportation virginity today. It wasn't as bad as I thought. There were no crazies and it wasn't too crowded. Given the ridiculousness of gas prices and the cost of a parking permit I think I will be on a first name basis with the bus drivers.
Hit up Gardella's last night with James and Gio and the gang. It was a lovely evening complete with 1/2 off drinks that I didn't pay for. Oh the joys of being a girl. James and I wondered downtown afterwards and it was a nice little bonding experience and I am a little less scared of heights and downtown now.
On a random note.. Derek came down to GV tonite.. we watched a documentary on world's strongest boy.. which made me sad.. poor kid is a freak of nature.. after that we wanted burgers.. so we hit up Kleiner.. oh it made me feel so old.. all of these over dressed little girls prancy around in heels like idiots.. whatever happened to jeans and tennis shoes people.. this isn't a night club its the student commons for crying out loud.. but Derek DID buy me a burger.. then we saw Kaye and visited her dorm for a little bit.. I just love her to pieces
Ross and I are hitting Chi-town with a force this weekend. Its going to be so fantabulous to have some time off and enjoy the city and hang out with Ross and Jim and Gretchen and the LOL gang. Pretty excited about seeing my LOL boys for Bradyfest. I can only hope that Bradyfest will be as joyous as Jamie's Birthday Part 2: Chicago Style. I can also hope it will be more successful than James' and Gio's Birthday Trailer Park Style.. which resulted in cake stained carpet, wet laundry, and someone (who will remain nameless) sleeping in my bathtub.. oh revenge will be so sweet..
I am sure I have two million things to do and 6 papers to write and bags to pack for Chi-town.. but instead I should check facebook.. curse you facebook creator for eating my life Current Mood: bouncy Current Music: Golden Girls theme song

09:31 pm - The triumphant return on the better half of the dynamic duo The subject is just for you Tom Allen.. I havent updated in a ridiculously long time.. and Im not sure why I am now except that Im bored.. and I know the two people that read this (okay really just tom allen) are dying to know about my life for the last 12 years. I will only briefly mention the highlites of the summer and slightly before because I only remember the good stuff..
* I dated a potentially gay boy because Liz and I had a bet/dare.. after two months we had no definate answer but I got a lot of free meals and a great story to tell
* I almost lost my toe and liz took me to the emergency room and the guy next to me was in a knife fight.. and I got vicodin
*Stacy and Liz lived with me this summer and it was ridiculous.. my porch has never gotten so much play in its life
*Jason told me everything that I wanted to hear for so long.. and I basically told him to F off..and it felt good.. for awhile
*I turned 21.. and flashed the bar.. and cried.. and puked in my hand and ross's car.. and slept on the bathroom floor.. all before 11pm
*I had my first Ascot Thursday and it was ridiculous and the most fun ever and I want to live there and go out every Thursday.. and Tom said I could be an honorary member of LOL.. Im pretty excited.. we are planning a return trip for Katie's birthday
*I worked at FFC all summer and I loved every second of it and I made the bestest friends EVER I <3 them all and I am so unhappy that its over and we will never again have 1 long lunch conversations about sex, God, tacos and my money grubbing whorish ways
*I actually met a decent boy in the bar.. while i was out drinking with my aunts no less.. and he made most of my summer sunny and bright.. and even let me go to the zoo.. and not hate me after we got lost.. hopefully I made a nice new friend.. of course I will never ever be able to talk to another boy in the bar as I suddenly have standards to live up to
*I learned to stand on my own two feet.. without Ross or anyone else.. and that has been the best thing ever
*I have a bajillion classes with my lovers liz and ellen.. that is going to make life so much better
*My sissy has moved back in and the world can begin to revolve again
*Im part of the dynamic duo.. we'll see how long that lasts
*This summer was the best summer of my whole life.. fuck college for starting tomorrow
*I promise that it will not be like.. 9 months before I update again.. and that my next one will be full of all of the juicy goodness of my life.. unfortunately for all of you obsessed with my LJ.. my summer was drama free.. which leaves little to discuss.. score one for me Current Mood: grumpy Current Music: Laguna beach

11:24 am - Whoa Its been FOREVER since i last updated.. so I thought instead of listening in stats class.. I would update.. Sango will be thrilled.. so.. in conclusion to the Halloween weekend posting.. Derek was dressed as a giant sperm.. with white spandex pants.. and no underwear.. disgusting/hilarious all in one..
OSU/UM weekend was this past weekend.. and I cannot even believe that everyone survived.. Ross and Jeremy were drunk by the time we got there.. mind you Ross was driving.. well.. technically Jeremy was drunk when we picked him up in GR.. but it went downhill from there.. they polished 18 beers before crossing into Columbus.. and that set the tone..
Friday we went to a frat party.. sponsored by Miller Lite.. or something insane like that.. and there were like 4930589036532 people crammed into Dave's frat house.. it was unlike anything I have ever seen.. all of Columbus was crammed full of people.. everyone got wasted.. except me.. and I had to sleep with Ross and Jeremy.. and Pat came in at 8am to spray himself with Axe.. why you ask? I don't know...
Saturday.. the drinking started at 10:00.. most everyone was still wasted.. Jeremy was ridiculous and Ross slammed three beers by 10:30.. I am the *proudest* girlfriend ever.. we went down to campus.. and people yelled at us because we were the only people in Columbus not wearing OSU clothes.. and Kelly was harassing OSU boys.. trying to get ours boys asses kicked.. really was hilarious..we watched the game at a bar.. where Ross thought the boy in front of us was mentally retarded.. and felt bad for him.. no.. the boy was just that drunk..then Derek and Stacy FINALLY got there.. and I was the happiest person ever.. and Jeremy was wasted and I wanted to slug him in the face..
Saturday was pretty low key.. everyone felt like hell.. so we took it easy.. napped/passed out for awhile.. then went to a pub.. then Ross and Jeremy decided to drive home.. to Michigan.. at 12.. we got to my place at 5.. and slept until 12.. and I spent all day in my pajamas.. and it might take me the rest of the week to recover..
So.. all in all.. roughly 300 beers were consumed.. in our hotel room alone.. No one was injured.. though John may have had a slight case of alchohol poisoning.. and Jeremy had one hell of a hangover.. The only person to go to jail was some guy down the hall from us.. after we invited him in to drink.. 30 minutes later.. we see flashers.. and he is across the street being arrested.. I think that puts an end to drinking with strangers..
side note: Sango just gave me a letter saying I should change my minor stats.. Ha.. we'll see about that.. Current Mood: chipper Current Music: Sango
