I have a shopping problem. In the past week I've bought- 3 pairs of shoes, 4 sweaters, 2 pairs of pants for work. $20 of scrapbooking materials, even though I've never scrapbooked a day in my life. Knitting and crocheting needles and yarn, because I feel like learning. 2 hats for Dan for Christmas. (I started my Christmas shopping before Thanksgiving? Who am I?!) I guess as long as I am paying my bills and putting some money in savings, it's ok to spend sometimes.

We are re-doing my house and it is in total unheaval. Painting, scraping borders, moving furniture, hanging tvs, shopping for curtains, rugs, pillow, its hectic. I'm glad I get to help my mom with it though.

Friday night Dan and I went to an autism benefit. It was supposed to be a casino night, so Dan's dad taught us how to play blackjack, and we gambled away all of the fake $1000 we started with.

Pictures!



















C'est tout!

Today I accidentally stuck my finger in mayonnaise. If I had the opportunity, at that moment I might have amputated it. Disgusting.



Also, people that talk on their cell phone while they are on the treadmill should probably be shot.


Yep, that's it.


Actually. I think I'm missing some entries. Is this possible? Probably one of those unanswerable questions, like "how many licks does it really take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?" and "why do I only have one sock from each pair that I buy when they come out of the wash?"

Three things:

New Mewithoutyou is awesome, I love them, they can do no wrong.

I'm strangely sad about the Crocodile Hunter dying.

Dan is home, woo hoo.

Oh, I'm going to say a fourth thing.

If you are at a loss because you want to go to the movies and you don't know what to see, GO SEE CRANK. It is so well made and so good, I'm pretty sure some of you at least won't regret it!

For the sake of something to look at other than boring text.

Cooperstown, New York. Home of the Baseball Hall of Fame. Smack in the middle of absolutely NOTHING. One of the best weekends I've had in a realllllly long time!

I went up there with my cousin Kevin, my sister Victoria, her boyfriend Dave, and Wayne. Apparently, this is most insane combination of people that ever existed.


How cute are these boys?

Swing batter! )

So unfortunately for the Long Hair team, I woke up the morning of my appointment with Tara to a horrible hair day. I went to work, went to her apartment, sat down and said, "Cut it all off."

And so she did.



Insane! )

I have to get my hair done, or I am going to rip it all out of my head, it's driving me insane.

Anyone want to help a sista out with some suggestions? Cut it all off, leave it long, dye it purple, whatever. Well, maybe not purple.

I feel like a stranger here. )

I'm starting to think I might be a little too old to be going to shows. I went to a Misery Signals show with Dan on Thursday night, because my cousins band was playing. Ok first of all, these kids were like 15 and they looked like they hadn't showered in, oh, about 3 weeks. I really hope I never just wore stupid crap because I thought other people would think it was cool, because that's what these kids did and they looks retarded. So there were about 3 (small) fights within the first hour we got there, because all of these new kids have no idea how to dance. Broken noses, kids getting knocked out and taken away in ambulences, just chaos. Between the second to last band and Misery Signals, a bunch of people were walking outside because it was hot and gross in the hall. So there were two sets of doors, and about 50 kids trying to walk out the doors. As I was walking out, this little bastard ( I mean seriously little, probably only an inch taller than I am) goes "Move!" and shoves me out of his way. Of course I can't just let that go, so I turned around and pushed him. Hard. He looks at me and says "Fuck you, whore."

Ok. I have a bit of a hot temper. And zero patience for 16 year olds that think they can talk to people however they want and get away with it. I have this overwhelming urge to punch the kid in the face, so I turn around. I think what this kid did not count on, when insulting me, was my 6'4" boyfriend walking through the doors behind me. Because by the time I turned around, Dan had the kid by the neck SCREAMING in his face. I thought the kid was going to pee in his pants, it was absolutely hilarious. I have never ever in almost 4 years of knowing him, even seen the potential for the anger that I saw in Dan's face. He seriously freaked out. So then this gross girl who had NO IDEA what happened comes running up screaming in Dan's face "Why are you being such a dick, it's just a show." She looks like she's about to punch Dan, so I try to go over to get in between them, because I know if she hit Dan he would never hit her back. Someone held me back, and my sister Victoria's boyfriend went and pushed the girl away and dragged Dan away from the whole mess.

It was completely unbelieveable. It was one of those things that happens in slow motion, that you can't really believe is happening.

I'm so glad I'm out of high school...?

Today I found out that Dan was nominated for PETA2's sexiest vegetarian of the year award.


He's up against people like Joaquin Phoenix and Andre 3000. Haha. They were using people in bands/actors, or else I would have been on the list, OBVIOUSLY. Haha.

Vote for him!

He's Daniel Valentino (Alove for Enemies.)


Please excuse me, I have to go have dinner with the sexy man. Oh, my life.

Full time jobs.


Full time jobs are a wonderful, awesome thing if you have no desire to have a social life.

I am now one of the poor people doing meaningless office jobs across the world. I work for a credit card processing company, so I can go back to school and fix the mistake I made 2 years ago. I work 40 hours a week building computer files so people can go to stores and swipe their cards and blah blah blah. I am going to start school this september, and take a couple of classes a semester. I am up by 7 and in bed by 12, and completely boring.

To be honest, I complain alot about it, but I really shouldn't. I make good money, good enough that if I decided I wanted to get married in a couple of years before I finish college, I could afford it. If I really wanted, I could move out of my house. (With a roomate of course, lovely Long Island real estate won't allow for me to live alone.) I'm not going to, I mean why waste the money on rent when I could save it up for a house, but knowing I could is kind of exciting.

I think I have multiple personalities, because I don't want my journal to be friends only anymore. Seriously, I write in it so infrequently, and nothing interesting. Friends only is stupid.

I've had the most boring weekend in existance. "Where's Dan?" you ask? Shame on you, you should really know by now he is on tour, he has always been on tour, and he will always be on tour. Haha, I barely even feel it anymore. It's just the way it is, and I guess I'm used to it. They are going to Europe this August, which I am not totally thrilled with, because ALFE seems to only play places that don't have payphones, but I'm not really going to do myself or anyone else any good by thinking about it, and getting upset about it, so whatever.

Eisely just came on my itunes, and I feel guilty, because me and Shana went to see them Thursday, and I accidentally drank too much on an empty stomach. Sometimes I just realllllllly overestimate my limit. I ruined the whole show for her, so next time they play around here I owe her a ticket. And no alcohol this time! I think I learned my lesson for a while, because the next day at work was one of the most miserable days I can recall. Really, in my entire life.

Did I mention I work with my mother? Yeah. She was thrilled I came into work with a hangover. She's so funny, she kept buying me soda to calm my stomach and forcing pills down my throat for my head. What a good mommy.

My new icon is a celebration of my trip to Greece, which was one year ago, and where I wish I was today. Someone take me there and I will give you all the cash in my wallet, which is $5.

Oooook, so everything is fine, nothing is ruined.

That's all.

its taken me a long time. nearly 2 years of having my online accounts hacked into, deleted, or just messed around with. but i've decided that i forgive the person responsible for it. i cant know what it is inside them that makes them feel better when they delete my buddylist, or my journal. i cant imagine the satisfaction they feel when they enjoy the frustruation they put me through. i just cant fathom it. i also cant understand what motivates them, why they waste so much time, time that could be used constructively, deleting a myspace profile.

but its not up to me to understand. its up to me to come to terms with the fact that not everyone is going to like me. even without a legitimate reason, sometimes people are going to want to hurt me. because thats the way people are. and all i can do is try my best not to be that person. and forgive those that dont have a good outlet for their feelings.

so dear anonymous, i forgive you. if i have done something to offend you, or hurt you, i apologize.


even though you'll probably delete this too.

look at this, im updating again already.

i hope everyone had a very merry christmas, mine was pretty good this year, and i got tons of stuff which is always welcome and appreciated. from my parents i got mostly clothes, my mom made my car payment for them month, and a bunch of gift certificates, including a $200 one to the mall which i greatly look forward to using. oh and i almost forgot an awesome franco sarto bag. its really incredible.

not to brag or anything, but i have the best boyfriend ever. he got me a silver mini ipod, and chanel sunglasses, which are documented below. he went away with the band (surprise), and he wont be home for a week. yes, hes missing new years, and yes im pretty sad about that. cant do much about it though, so im just going to enjoy my relentless school schedule and pray this next 2 weeks flies by (so im finally graduated).

im on a serious diet, i mean a major diet. i found these pants i wore a couple of years ago, and i thought i was going to die. they were these lame hurley pants, but HELLO, they were a size double zero. i just feel like my life would be better if i was skinner. is that weird?  note to anonymous: insert predictible eating disorder comment here. thanks, i know you wont let me down.

so, enough rambling. on to the most amazing sunglasses ever, and some other stuff too.

haute. )
