yesterday i returned from a week in the woods doing dumb ceramic shit so that i can graduate from college. whatever.
while away, i missed:
dave
lucero
the o.c.
five shifts of work
four classes
two funerals
and waay too much good gossip

instead i:
stayed sober for 7 days
ate nothing but fast food
slept outside in 20 degree weather
considered visiting the 24 hour wal-mart to be the highlight of my days

party on. but now im back and have two weeks of school left. i am going to the red sox game on wednesday....i am excited because i have not been since i was eoelven. i will eat a hot dog and drink beer and pretend that i am a boy. yes.

Wed, 18 Feb 2004 20:27:22 GMT

today is substitute valentines day, as the real one was spent with co-workers and amatuer diners at the ecg. v-day is lame, but i welsome any excuse to go out for a hot night on the town. B & G for me!

i should be in class right now, but i convinced the professor to let me come to the library and "do research" on staffordshire ceramics from englad. i should prolly check the web so i at least have some vauge idea of what that is exactly before going back to class. school is lame but i actually may graduate, there is only one thing holding me back.... an incomplete in senior seminar, and the professor is on sebatical til september. i WAS freaking out having not been able to get in touch with her, but then lo-and-behold last friday night, dave and i were at washington square tavern for drinks and whatnot, and she and her husband were there. even though she was drunk, i think i will still be getting my grade.

last night i made a late night trip to noir, and as i (drunk) tumbled out of brians car, a basketball fell out with me. i look that as a sign that i needed to bring the ball into the bar with me. it was a success. i think that from now on it will be my new accessory.

+experiencing kareoke with jenny brown and friends at a bar you can still smoke at
+the knife fight i wittnessed during said kareoke
+one week closer to school being over
+mail
-realizing too late that i missed south the other night

like bye

Fri, 16 Jan 2004 20:12:28 GMT

i just got back from 3 days in provincetown with dave, which was kind of awsome. we had a condo with floor to ceiling windows on three sides and the only thing seperating us from the ocean was a pane of glass and 10 feel of sand. it was insane.

but now i am back and freezing and dreading the start of school next week. lame.

its been like....waaay long.

but now im home and i cant drive til tomorrow, so the fun has ended and i am stranded in dartmouth for another night.

Fri, 08 Aug 2003 03:51:07 GMT

everyone is out celebrating shaina's b-day eating rock and roll sushi. and even though i hate rock and roll sushi, i like shaina alot, so i am sad that i am not able to attend. i am instead undergoing invasive procedures at the hospital today and tomorrow. as long as my sedation has worn off, i hope to return to boston late tomorrow evening.

saturday yeilds plans of a hangout session with adam and his out of town friend. i will be forcing them to accompany me to the flea market in malden.

i watched soooooo much tv today inbetween being sick and napping. the OC is totally my new favorite show, even though it reiks of early 90210. i then rented almost married and watched it with my mom. tommorow between being sick and napping i will watch punch-drunk love, even though my dad says its the worst movie ever (but he also said that about best in show, so he is not to be trusted).

also, in an effort to not be disowned by my father, i have been sporting long-sleeves for my entire stay at home. and DAMN is it hot.

ok, enough fun for now. happy 21st shauna... shaina? whoever you are.

Wed, 06 Aug 2003 23:27:26 GMT

so justin and christina last night was the fucking shit. just me, adam and 50,000 of our closest friends.
we then tried to finesse our way into the after-party at axis. they however, were not impressed with our antics, and we were forced to leave.

sooooooo worth the 80 dollars.

warm keg beer
a boisterious crowd that likes to fight and has terrible taste in clothing
malasadas
more warm keg beer
exclusively portuguese speaking (and singing) entertainment
a venga boys conga line that i was forced to join between warm keg beers

i just returned home from an extreamly lucrative night at east coast grill. someone i do not know is asleep on our couch and no one else is home. judging by his hair-doo he probaby belongs to one of my roomates, whom i imagine are at start. i do not know why he did not join them, but i guess everyone will tell me when they get home. i cant inagine where stone is, she doesnt usually go out with out me. but it's ok, i dont need friends tonight, because i have my new ipod. and thats waaay more fun than real people. i will stay home and listen to music and pretend i am at start. i wish the tv controll in my room was not missing, as i cannot watch tv without it and the stranger is asleep in the living room. what-ever.

-haveing to wait five days to go my trip
+spring break this week
