I am so bored...

i need to start being more productive w/my days, b/c if my days off these summer turn into me just sitting on my ass for hours watching TV for hours I just might go insane...

As Jen Tufts stated in her LJ, sat night was spent at funway celebrating marcs bday...good times for the most part...minus getting home, getting sick for most of the night, not sleeping, getting out of be at 8 and dragging my drunk ass to WORK for 9 hours...not a smart idea julia. All week i said i wasn't going out, but put me in a bad mood w/sisters peer pressuring me into drinking alcohol and i just get out of control...normally i know my limts, but for some reason the malibu bay breeze, tequila sunrise, apple shot, midori sour, cape coder, beer, beer, soco shot, beer, beer, tequila shot, beer...were all just calling my name that night. I should be dead or something. I don't recall much of the night, I do know that my phone should be taken away from me b/c i definately went through my phone book...but at 3 am when you call ppl they are drunk too and i also convinced someone to call and wake me up at 7 30 am...and amazingly they did. I have wonderful friends :) at least i'm going to Kiss Concert b/c my friend knows how to dance sexy...woohoo.

oh yeah, i also think i was hungover for 2 days...i never thought it was possible...but apparently it is b/c all day monday felt i had gone out sunday...what a mess.

I have a new found LOVE for country music, every Rascal Flatts song i've heard in the past month i absolutely LOVE and lately kenny chesney has been doing it for me too...along w/brad paisley and keith urban. what the heck is happening to me??

hmm glad school is over...now its time to get my life in order and figure out what the hell i'm doing b/c its going to be sad when everyone graduates next year and i'm still a freshman in college haha

hmmmm yeah. also this summer we are investing in the carmen electra strip tease DVDs so anyone who'd like to join in learning how to dance sexy like a stripper but get into shape please do...we can make it a twice a week event it'll be so fun...prob at jtufts mini apartment b/c well why not?

i need to go for a walk or something...i wish ppl were hommmmmme. like i said before. i'm bored.

Wed, 20 Apr 2005 02:37:19 GMT

so the marathon was probably the most amazing/emotional/PAINFUL experience of my life...and I'm thinking i would most defnately do another one, at some point in my life.

So the weekend was pretty hectic, lots of stress, running around trying to get my shit together/trying to figure out what the hell i was going to eat marathon morning...b/c well I have no idea i'm definately not an "experienced runner" or anything. Sunday night was the Dana Farber pasta party, which was a good time...pretty long, lots of speeches but definately got me pumped. One of the most inspiring moments had to of been when they showed a video of all the kids we were running in memory of, saddest thing i have ever seen. The minute it started i was bawling...cancer is a horrible disease and from what i've learned through this most definately touches the lives of EVERYONE in one way or the other....

anyways.

Marathon morning...I think it hadn't really hit me yet what i was about to do...wasn't TOO worried that morning. Got up in time to catch the first set of busses at 6:30 am to go to hopkinton...the bus ride was entertaining, i think everyone was really pumped for the race so they were all talking to eachother/giving tips on what to do/saying good luck to eachother. It was nice. In hopkinton the Dana Farber team got to be in this church which they called the "refuge" it was about 1/2 mile away from athletes village so we didn't get to experience the crazyness of that, sharing all the porta potties w/20,000 of your closest running pals...but I think i'm fine w/missing out on that experience, it would have been fun to see all the amazing athletes but i'm sure i would have been stressing over the fact that i'd be waiting 15-20 mins at a time to use the bathroom....ick thats no fun. SO after hours of waiting around drinking some water/gatorade and chatting w/some other dana farber runners we headed over to the start to get in our corrals...we were all spread out throughout corral 17 so i really wasn't around too many people i knew....there were 17,000 people in front of me and about 4,000 people behind me...incredible. Waited about a good 20 or so minutes after the gun went off before i actually crossed the starting line, but the 1/2 mile walk was a nice warm up I guess? haha

The race itself was just unbelieveable, i can't even begin to desribe what was going through my mind...at least in the beginning i can't haha I was just trying to take in what was going on around me. Within the first 1/4 mile there was a house playing the Rocky Theme then a little ways down there was a polka band...lots of families having HUGE cookouts playing loud music, and tons of people just cheering on EVERY runner they saw. Sox updates all the time some people had signs w/the score, other people would just yell it out as we ran by, there was a drage queen dressed as a mermaid, tons of people handing out BEER, an elvis impersonator, annd a bunch of other stuff that i'm sure i'm forgetting.

I definately went out a little too fast...i had this big goal of trying to run a 4 hour marathon, but as soon as i started i was like there is no way that is happening today...so then i thought i'd shoot for a 4:10-4:20 buuut as the race went out that goal also slowly diminished and I just came to the conclusion that i HAD to finish. I think between miles 16-22 I wanted to die, actually i'm positive i was like struggling...i think i slowed down to a 9:40 - 10:00 min mile or something...its all a mental game at that point and my mind was definately like what the fuck are you doing to yourself right now julia?? I almost broke down and cried about 5 times, sometimes b/c of the pain, other times b/c i couldn't believe i was running a marathon haha. The spectators were amazing, especially since by the time i got to alot of these people, they had already been out there for a good three hours yet they were still cheering on every runner lke we were the first to go by that day. The kids were really cute and tons of them were handing out water, oranges, bananas to all the runners. I took oranges from a couple and they tasted SOOO good...they would get So excited if you took something from them it was great. They'd also get super excited if you slapped them 5 so i also did that a bunch too haha good times. I felt like a rock star. Heartbreak hill definately lived up to its name, i had run it at least 5 of 6 times before and really thought i knew what i was getting myself into...but as soon as i took a right at the fire station and proceeded up those hills, it was like i had NEVER run them before. it was strange. NON of it looked familiar and the 4 hills felt like they took FOREVER. I think this is where my body started to shut down and i came to the conclusion that i would never ever ever run a marathon again.

Mile 25 was definately one of the highlights, it was FILLED w/dana farber volunteers, paitents, and their familes...it was crazy...i stayed to the right the entire time and just high fived them all as they were going CRAZY b/c i was one of the only dana farber runners there at that moment...it was great. yet another emotional moment of this crazy marathon.

The BEST part of the whole thing had to be the FINISH LINE...after 4 1/2 hours of running it is the ONLY thing you want to see and when you finally do see it, and you start to realize what you just accomplished, overcome w/emotion. once again i almost started to cry...but held those tears back and tried to finish strong. My legs actually felt really good for that last mile...or maybe just numb? not sure which...but i finished, w/my arms up in the air as i crossed the finish w/a time of 4:29:09...definately not record setting, nothing too special...but I finished. thats all that matters really.

after i crossed i could barely walk...wobbled my way past the medical volunteers who all made sure i was ok, all i wanted was a wheelchair. Got my mylar blanket, then wobbled my way to get my chip off my shoe/my awesome medal! woop woop. Took some water even though i thought i was going to throw up...thought it might of been b/c i was dehydrated so i just sipped it as i wobbled down to the busses to get my bag...then made my way to the marriot to let the dana farber people know I finished the race/find my sisters/dad.

I was lucky enough to have people cheering me on throughout the course so that was also sooooo fun! jen & jim were at mile 9 soooo that was a good pick me up in the beginning of the race, esp since thats about when my feet started to hurt so i was excited to see someone i knew...melissa and my mom were at the 1/2 way point in wellesley and all i remember yelling to them is "a BLISTER JUST POPPED ON MY FOOT GROSS!!" haha at mile 16 Val and Robin from Hilliards were there w/a sign in hand cheering me on....sadly amy & the stonehill crew were at heartbreak hill but i missed them! :( but i did see danielle on hearbreak as well out of ALL the army people there so jumped on her and gave her a HUGE hug haha she loved it...then Kim and Jeanette were at BC right before mile 21 or 22? i think and again i sadly missed seeing my best running buddy ever megan perry around her apartment :( and she informed me after that she was going to finish the race w/me but that didn't happen...boo to that.

and so that was my day. crazy right? i still can't believe I did it/am really sad its over/i can't walk very well today. But definately well worth the pain, and as many times as i said I would never do it again while i was running it...i kind of want to. Maybe not boston, but possibly a fun warm one, like disney? who knows. i just need to safetly recover from this one and we'll go from there.

I am now going to go to bed...last night i was really looking forward to sleeping in really late...but apparently my body thinks really late is 7:30 am b/c i shot out of bed this morning and could not fall asleep...what ashame.

goodnight :)

well this is scary...

CAMPUS SAFETY ALERT

Bridgewater State College Police Department

April 8, 2005

The Bridgewater State College Police Department has obtained a warrant for the arrest of a suspect in the recent reported rape of a female resident student in the Lower Great Hill parking lot.

The student met her assailant – a non-student who is a registered sex offender – after he accessed her personal profile and contacted her via “Thefacebook.com,” an Internet site that allows college students to connect with others by posting and viewing their personal profiles, which often include a picture, personal interests, relationship status and complete contact information

so its 3:38 am.

Mon, 14 Feb 2005 08:47:16 GMT

So i gave up "buying coffee" for lent, which means people are MORE than welcome to buy it for me, I just can't purchase the tastey (errr) drinks on my own. So shit happened at work the other day, but in turn I got a $15 gift certificate to STARBUCKS! :) yaa. So of course this means i'm not buying these coffees the lady who bought it for me is...sooo yes. On the way to work i got a Large Caramel Macciado (however you spell) i got to work, and first thing Robin says to me is "Jules I bought you a Vanilla Latte!!" i was like awwweeesome this is amazing...so thats 2. Then at break i was like, lets go to starbucks...so i got a medium caramel macciado (which by the way is prob so horrible for you but whatever) Then i got back to work and 15 mins later miss danielle shows up w/a Medium Iced From dunkins for me...how awesome right? i was excited. drank alll of them, felt a little sick by the 8 o clock hour but i survived. Only problem is I don't think the caffiene has left my system and I am still wide awake. and i ddn't even get alot of sleep this weekend. What the HECK!?? soooooooooo yeah that was a great story.

I've also been spending the last 4 hours working on this paper. Its probably one of the most horrible things i've ever written b/c its an analysis of a poem and I'm just pulling shit out of this. the best part of it is the last line says 'love conquers all' and i can't help but laugh everytime i read that, b/c it just doesn't make sense. and my english prof is going to be like what the fuck? and then I'm going to have to go to him and explain that I HATE ANALYSISing poetry and i just read for the literal meaning, i'm not deep. haha oooo life i'm a mess.

yeahhhh so i'm going to listen to this playlist i made on emore time, and maybe try to get another 1/2 page out of this poem annnnnnd then go to bed. or something. HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wed, 09 Feb 2005 18:47:48 GMT

I'm in the library and awfully bored...I didn't feel like spending my two hour break doing work so instead I went to Roche Bros and bought cheez its...annd to subway. awesome. now i've been sitting on the computer here for the past 40 minutes doing absolutely nothing. fabulous. working every night til mon either 4 or 1 - 9. at least i'll have a decent pay check. i am b r o k e. literally. No one believes me but I really am. stupid credit cards.

a man came into hilliards the other day and gave me info on a apartment in bridgewater...a bit pricey, but maybe he'll give me a deal if i give him candy. i'll work on that one.

I am attempting to give up coffee for lent, so I think i'll be switching over to diet coke for the next month or so. maybe i'll make it to july. doubt it, but i can pretend.

hmmmm 3 minutes to class...guess i should go. Have a fabulous day! :)

so...i'm officially running in the Boston Marathon...

Thu, 13 Jan 2005 00:45:37 GMT

Well, in November I decided to take a chance and register to run the Boston Marathon through Dana Farber, with this I would recieve a number, training and special perks for being an "official Marathon runner" all that fun stuff...Anyways, a few weeks later they put me on a waitlist, the month past, i forgot about it...then yesterday i get an email from them saying 'good things happen to those who wait' and in the email it told me I had officially been accepted to run the Boston Marathon with Dana Farber. CRAZY. So heres the deal...Since i'm running for a charity, I have to raise quite a bit of money...so If anyone is reading this and would care to donate anything, a dollar, five dollars, whatever it would be GREATLY appreciated. Anything would help, and its a fabulous cause. I'll just post the letter i'm supposed to send ppl/the link here...check it out. :) thanks!!

Dear family members, friends and acquaintances,

I'm about to embark on the biggest challenge of my life: completing the 2005 Boston Marathon. But my personal quest, no matter how difficult it will be for me, pales in comparison to the challenge facing cancer patients. By participating in the Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge (DFMC), I'm supporting Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's goal to find better therapies and, ultimately, cures for cancer.

The DFMC raises funds for the Claudia Adams Barr Program in Innovative Basic Cancer Research at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Established by J. Wayne and Delores Barr Weaver in 1987, the Claudia Adams Barr Program fosters scientific breakthroughs by advancing the work of gifted researchers in a variety of basic research disciplines. The DFMC directs 100% of funds raised to the Barr Program, which enables gifted young scientists at the leading edge of discovery to achieve better cure rates and to enhance patients' quality of life.

I hope you will support my challenge by giving a gift to my run and, in doing so, help bring an end to the challenge of cancer.

Your kind support and words of encouragement will be the "wind beneath my wings." Thank you for helping me help Dana-Farber reach the ultimate finish line: a world without cancer.

With great appreciation and many inspired miles to go!

Thanks again guys! :)

i think the "wind beneath my wings" line has to be my fav :) haha

just incase i forget...

Sun, 09 Jan 2005 06:53:35 GMT

so tonight was the "open bar" night at funway...and it was a good time...pretty mellow considering the fact that we could drink whatever we wanted. Had some dinner w/the girls, the fam and their boys...then played a few games...and basically just relaxed. It was fun.

I must say, the highlight of the night was when my dad came over and saved me from being hit on by this random boy...the boy kept telling me I should be a hand model, b/c he felt the need to hold my hand for some reason...and good ol' mr. stapleton walks up and breaks up the flirting (ha) then i walk away and watch my father almost get in a fight w/this 20 something year old kid for hitting on me...quite amusing i'm not going to lie.

also, i think its pretty funny that ms. tufts & ms. tanzer got pretty wasted in the bathroom by taking swigs from a soco bottle they had in their purse. They were almost more drunk then the girls who are actually legal...think anyone knew? who knows.

my lovely sister then drove us home and now everyone is gone. good times though. 21 is a fabulous age and I'm all set w/the birthdays. no more getting older for me. :)

Thu, 06 Jan 2005 19:09:54 GMT

we are only 6 days into 2005 and I feel it has already been the most random year of my life...

My birthday was yesterday and it was fabulous...Lauren Danielle and I went to Jillians in Boston around 11 on tues night so i could have my midnight drink...had to get a cosmo of course...played some pool drank some more ordered a pizza?? random I know...Met random boys from Jersey and got a history lesson from one of them, who really wants to chat about Paul Revere at a bar? left, got a "just incase you girls were wondering we are staying in room 2511 a the mariottt" riight we'll be there in 20...nope...started to leave, danielle proceeded to tell every boy she saw that i was single, got the bouncers #, left Jillians, started to leave again, got called over by other random boys, went to china town w/them to some Korean place (WICKED safe) took shots of saki, drank beer, and talked to some boy about how he wanted to go to africa and cured aids? good for you, got his # too, (i'm on a roll)got to sign the wall (if you are ever at the Korea house look for birthday messages to me!) Had an $87 bill,they paid for it all, and our cab fare b/c its my birthday...went back to jillians, got in the car, drove home, got home at 4:30 ran upstairs and jumped into my moms bed yelling "Its my Birthday Mommy!!" she loved it...passed out in my bed, my mom came and tucked me in haha....woke up at 10 ran 6 miles, went to lunch, got a new liscense, got the most RANDOM birthday message of my life, the fam came over, went to charlie horse w/the girls, got a piece of ass woo, played dance dance revolution, (I suck), got some kid who went to bridgewater to buy me a drink, played some more pool, left, lauren jen and I decided the night was still young, tried to find a playgirl but failed, then decided to go to May East, woo saw, alan van epps? and dan midura haha got a scorpian bowl for myself (oh jeez) lauren and jen talked in teh guss guss voice for a good 20 mins, left, got to jens and ended the night by singing God Must of spent a Little more time on you, at the top of our lungs, w/hand motions and everything. amazing.

so that was really long and boring wooo.

My mom also told me yesterday in front of the fam that I need to go to the Charlie horse tonight to try out to be a Maxim model? riiight mom. So then I said i wanted to do playboy and she said she's fine w/that its good money and its not like the men are going to touch you...ehh ok? "looky looky no touchy" are her exact words...so then I said I was going to be a stripper and she then said, again, well just don't let them touch you and you'll be rich...is my mother really promoting this??

so i'm turning this 21st birthday thing into a 5 day affair, saturday night is my 21st birthday partay...open bar...enough said. :)

Happy New Year!!

Sat, 01 Jan 2005 19:23:11 GMT

4 days until my Birthday!!

yeaaaahhh.

Fri, 31 Dec 2004 05:13:36 GMT

so this year flew...

the big 21 is in 6 days...i dunno what to do...I guess just go out and drink, but where? hmmmm

Theres a lady at work who thinks I'm depressed and apparently feels really bad for me...that can't be good.

Danielles home, she was good for about a week, now shes back to her old ways. and you'd think she'd be a crazy neat freak, but she's the complete opposite. really grossing me out.

Melissa is moving out this weekend w/the boy. biiig step.

I finally paid of my credt card bill!! No more debt, this is fabulous. Credit cards are the devil.

There is a new thrift store in easton, by the Y and I must say its pretty awesome. They have some real Louis Coach and Prada bags, a bunch of fake Gucci and fendi bags for reasonable prices and some Sevens Jeans for 50 bucks...who cares if they are used riiiight? I'm definaly hitting up that store next week...oh yes.

hmmm yeah. I should go to bed. Just thought I'd update this thing one final time this year. Goood Night!

Sat, 11 Dec 2004 16:27:55 GMT

well I must say I had a very productive day yesterday (friday) I decided to suck it up, brave the crowds at the mall, and actually start christmas shopping. I was at the plaza for 2 hours and managed to only get my secret santa/snowflake/chrismakkah person done. But i did get some quality gifts so thats good. So all thats really left is one of my sisters (secret santa again) and 3 of the ladies I work with and my boss. THe only problem is I have NO Idea what to get those ladies...any suggestions?

After the mall I took my first T ride all by myself. That was exciting, I'm pretty impressed w/my getting around boston skills considering I only actually get in there a few times a year. i was supposed to meet tara at copley at 5:45 but got in there at 4 instead...so I decided to do a little more shopping, got my sister 1/2 a gift and bought alot of fun things at vickis for me...for no reason at all. i need to stop the sparatic shopping fits. Anyways yes then I just walked around in aw of all the people with there 6 giant coach, gucci, and dior bags. Someday.

So around 6 Tara and Emily arrived and we headed to the Copley theater to see Kinsey...good movie. then after that Meg Perry met up w/us and we waited almost 2 hours to eat at the cheesecake factory b/c its just that good...but we didn't even get cake. Who does that? Yup so by the time all the adventures were over it was 10:30 and i headed home. So yes like I said before it was a productive day, i was out of my house from 12-12...impressive.

Yup sooo I just tried to get tix to opening day at fenway and obviously failed haha oh well. Hopefully I'll be able to get some single game tix when they go onsale in Feb.

leaving for Missouri on Monday night to go watch my sister Graduate from MP training. She is officially a Millitary Policeman (woman). Scary. I must say the past 5 months FLEW...who woulda thought? Now lets just hope she doesn't get sent to Iraq any time soon...but we all know thats pretty much inevitable. Yeah so this trip will be amusing, i think its going to be the first time in a few years that my whole fam is going to be together for more than a 12 hour period...i'm sure it'll be fabulous. *note the sarcasm*

Mon, 29 Nov 2004 04:05:46 GMT

every so often i'll get on these random "lets figure out your life" kicks and i'll spend quite a bit of time trying to figure out what the fuck i'm doing with myself these days b/c i'm i feel like i'm slowly wasting my life away. so my new thing is to go back to school next semester, attempt to get somewhat involved on campus, maybe make a few college friends b/c i've yet to do that, Get a job as a waitress or something near BSC, maybe at the nines, and pick a fucking major. I figure i just need to pick something that is going to get me out of there asap. even if it means taking a shit load of summer courses b/c I just need to graduate. I feel like withdrawing for 2 semesters didn't quite help me out there but you know, i'm just so good at being as slacker it just seemed like the thing to do at the moment. Anywaya back to the major thing, i'm relaly just going to talk to my advisor and be like just tell me which major requires the fewest amount of classes and i'll just go for it. even if it is aviation, i could totally be a pilot. really.

A little over a month til i join the 21 club, so pumped. however i got carded at the movies last night, and i gave the lady a cruel look. I might not look like i'm 20 but i feel like i definately look older than 17. Oh well. I went to see SAW, that movie is messed up. The main doctor guy is a horrible actor, so I was laughing quite a bit at that...but some parts were just so messed up, so bloody, and i'm not going to lie, i def had to close my eyes for a few parts, ick. There is obviosuly going to be a saw II now....stupid horror movies.

I can't believe its almost december...Celebrating New Years down the cape feels like it was only a few months ago...what an amusing evening.

PUMPKIN

Tue, 16 Nov 2004 03:27:10 GMT

So today was just like any other day in the fabulous life of me...did the usual am activities...went to the mall for a bit then headed to work. While at work the man from the store next door (we call him pendleton, thats the name of the store) came over and we started to chat about Hilliards new pumpkin truffles...he then asked if I had tried the pumpkin latte at starbucks yet...I told him no but I had wanted to just didn't want to spend the money if i wasn't going to like it blah blah blah...so he left. 20 mins later he comes in with a Pumpkin Latte for me!!! He told the ppl at starbucks that the girl at hilliards who was selling pumpkin truffles wanted to try the pumpkin latte so they gave it to him for free b/c he's a regular or something... I was so excited, it really made my day 100x better...Thanks mr. pendleton man you made my night... :)

drop it like its hot

Mon, 08 Nov 2004 03:29:23 GMT

so things seem to be going pretty well lately.

Played Field Hockey for the first time in two years the other day...pretty much sucked but thats not too different from how I played in High School! haha...I did get a goal though! so thats exciting... Good times pretending to be a stonehill kid...thats right.

Talked to the army girl today (Danielle) she has many amusing stories about boot camp/ait...she's done Dec. 15 so the fam is heading out to Missouri to watch her graduate...she'll probably be home for about a month then in january will be sent to Kuwait then to Iraq for a freakin year...stupid war.

thank god the OC is back on...something to occupy my thurs nights. i love it.

looks like this week is going to be a cold one...what the heck? I'd give anything to live in a place that had new england falls/springs/summers just no winters...i hate the cold. Bring on the Summer.

what a saturday...

Mon, 01 Nov 2004 04:14:42 GMT

So saturday turned out to be the longest day of my life...lets recap.

7:30 am - went for a run
9:00 am - 2:00 pm - missed the sox parade and worked
2:00 pm - 3:00 pm - ran a few errands/packed
3:00 pm - 4:30 pm - Drove to BC then Garmet District to find a costume
4:38 pm - crashed into a parked car while attempting to parallel park, not bump, like pushed the car forward quite a bit...surpisingly no damage. I'm an awesome driver
4:40 pm - 5:30 pm - searched through the mass amounts of clothing/dodging people fo find a Halloween Costume...a skanky dorothy from the wizard of oz was the winner. I even had sassy red shoes!
5:30 - 7:30 pm - Drove back to BC, parked at a gas station quick to grab some dinner (40 mins at dinner tops)
7:35 pm - got back to the lot, and realized my car was fucking gone...looked up to see it being towed out of the parking lot, I watched my car get towed away...fucking fabulous. Called up the tow guy as he was driving, he tells me to go to Roberts Towing somewhere in good ol Brighton, MA with $110 CASH to get my car! whaaaaaaaaaatttt????
7:40pm - 8:35 pm - scrounged up $110 between meg and I and made our way to the towing place. I'm beyond poor at this point.
8:36 pm - 10:00 - decided to try and forget about how shitty the night was going and get ready to go out! while getting ready, i dropped/caught my straightner burning two of my fingers...which in turn lead them to shake for a good ten minutes...wierd and painful...ouch
10:00 pm - 3:00 am - Ran around Boston as Dorothy, stopping traffic w/my sassy red shoes, I'd say the outfit was a hit. I loved looking at my feet b/c yoou know I really did feel like Dorothy....all the parties were a bust though so that pretty much sucked...but you know its ok.

we got back to the apartment, hung out downstairs for a bit until i was about to pass out then went upstairs and slept. Really it was the longest day ever. I can't wait to sleep tonight. And sorry for the boring time line entry it came out of no where.

went to game 1 of the world series last night...SO much fun. Before the came tara and I met up w/some of her fam in the Crown Royal Club? I think that was the name of it, right attached to fenway. Anyways Mr. Fisher being the coolest guy ever felt bad that tara and i were just so close to being 21 and at a sox game, so he bought us two rounds of Heiniken...fabulous mr. fisher. So we were feeling great when it was time to brave the chilly weather and go into the park. Our seats were right field bleahers, which were awesome...bleacher seats are always the most fun. Sox fans are the greatest, and I love how you just randomly High Five whoever is around you when a good play is made, or someone gets a hit. Just made the night so fun. In the fourth Inning or so we notice mr. fisher again paying us a visit, w/two beers in hand. Hilarious. I think the ppl around us were like why is this man buying these girls beer? it was greatly appreciated though, the boys next to us thought it was "about time we got ourselves some beer" So we enjoyed game 1 of the world series in true sox fan style, fenway franks, beer and hot chocolate....fabulous. Wish I had the money to go to more, but that won't be happening. OH well..can't wait to go to more games next season...woohoo...LETS GO SOX!!!!

so after 5 months of crazy running (and the past two weeks of just being a lazzzzy ass) the half is only 4 days away!! I'm nervous...like realllly nervous. I know I can do it...but still I'm kinda freaking out. It'll be fine. Yup. For the past couple of weeks I've been having a hard time getting myself to go out go run and I've been eating sooo much junk. That can't be good...But i just looked up times and figure if I can keep up w/ a 9 min mile pace then I certainly won't come in last...my predicition is 1999 out of 4000 ppl or so...thatll be good for me considering its my first race EVER! So if you happen to be in Boston at 8 am on Sunday morning (b/c really why wouldn't you be) Come cheer for meg and I! You can take a walk around the city and cheer for us at different Mile marks..it would be fun!! haha jk Im not quite sur ehow exciting it'll actually be, and i think its supposed to be cold. So I won't be offended if you can't show up...I don't even think my mom is going to go ( i kind of thinks he doesn't think I'll be able to do it haha) but i'll prove her wrong :) annnyways I'm going to go watch the rest of Ellen.

fuck hilliards

since whend did livejournal get all wierd? hmph anyways...

well so we all knew the being ok with school thing wasn't going to last huh? Yes, we did. So I think i'm going to drop that piano class i'm in b/c I'm starting to realize that you actually need to practice in order to pass and well I don't have the time to sit and practice the piano when I could be doing better things, like watching the sox and drinking coffee. Also if I don't take this class then I can go home after my shit chem class go running and go back to school all before my math class. Perfect. However, who knows if that chem and math classes are going to last either b/c well math the guy is crazy and goes so fast and i haven'et even opened my chem book. I am a fabulous college student what can I say.

I have however been doing some thinking and maybe..just maybe, i could do the full time job/night class thing? You know be like an admin somewhere (high goals i tell ya) then take classes in the evenings????????? oh life why can't i just be normal and deal with college???

Also I've been spending money like its my job. And lately I've been whipping out the credit card which isn't good. For example...Saturday night i was waiting around for my sister to call so i could go pick her and her boy up in boston b/c i'm an awesome dd...yeah so victoria secret.com was just calling my name and $150 dollars laaaatter....whoops. Oh well Then i went to cvs today and spent $50...who spends $50 at CVS? apparently I do. THEN i decided to go to paperback junction and buy to kill a mockingbird haha b/c I realized I should have read it in high school, and bought that. the smart thing to do would have been to go to the library and take it out for a week but purchasing it just seemed so much more appealing. Um yeah I'm broke but its ok b/c you're only young once right? buy things you don't need...who cares.

oooo life. So I have to work today at the candy store then come home and possibly do some work and try to figure things out...I hate trying to figure things out b/c as hard as i try i never do...and in the end i'm even more confuuuused.

its been awhile...

Well I don't ever update this thing anymore...oh well

School is in full swing and its actually not too bad this semester. I don't dread waking up and going to class everyday so thats a plus. Hopefully I can keep up w/the workload though, I'm slowly starting to fall behind but tomorrow I don't have class (at all I don't think) b/c of various reasons therefore tonight tomorrow and thurs should be my catch up days...we'll see if that actually happens.

The month is flying, can't believe september is basically gone. I need to start getting out more.

So as soon as school started I started to pick up a shitload of hours at work. And i'm certainly not complaining b/c the pay checks are obviously nice, but I really hope I don't burn out. I am literally going all the time...either at class, at work, out for a run or trying to keep some sort of social life (which lately has been non existent) I'm getting tiiiiired and its been 2 weeks...only a few more months to go.

Friday night my dad called me and had free tix to mixfest randomly so I got to go! it was fabulous b/c John Mayer and Maroon 5 were there! I thought I didn't like maroon 5 but apparently I do, and I have this new found love for the lead singer (adam lavine) he's a cutie. Along w/those artists were some others who I don't really like, like the los lonely boys? five for fighting and the calling...Lenny Kravitz was there too but we left right after John Mayer. I was also very surprised by Alanis Morrisettes performance...she was actually reallly good! Who knew? AND she sang Ironic (of course) but it was pretty awesome b/c all she had to do was play the first few chords, say the first word and stopped sinigng while the audience continued the song. For a song that was popular like 10 years ago that is pretty impressive/must be an amazing feeling. While that was going on I had flash back to 6th grade english w/mrs. gentile when she asked what ironic meant and someone started to sing that song...wierd that i remember that. ANYWAYS...

the 1/2 marathon is just a few weeks away! Scaarrrry. But i'm excited...just praying that I dont' come in dead last buut when i get my Chip # and such i will post it so for those of you who'd like to can track me/see how fast i'm running /where i'm at in the race...coool huh? haha

ERIN DAVIS is going to be an extra on ONE TREE HILL tonight at 9 so if you are home WATCH IT!! She's in the wedding scene and gets cheese? or something thrown on her so i'm prettttty sure u'll be able to see her! yeah So watch that.

I'm lovin the fall weather...I can't wait for the leaves to turn..once that happens it can stay like that forever. I love the fall. Definately my favorite season.

Time to get ready for work...
