i had a dream last night that a writer asked me for my opinion regarding his dashes. he used dashes in the piece of writing he was presenting, but he wasnt sure whether or not he liked the dashes, and needed outside opinions. i told him that i liked his dashes, but when he asked why, he was dissatisfied with the answer. the reason was because i told him that i liked that he used dashes since i used dashes when i wrote journal entries. apparently that wasnt good enough, and my opinion was discounted. i do not know why i just thought of this, or why i decided to post about it, but there you go. ironically, i did not use any dashes in this entry. |

| some thoughts |
[Jan. 23rd, 2007|12:00 pm] |
So here i am sitting here at home staring at the pile of things i want to take to Italy, unable to fight the feelings of apprehension that have been filling my heart for weeks now. A year ago i made a command decision (its immortalized in this journal) to just go to Italy and paint. wildly enough, this has actually come to fruition. after a lot of hard work and struggles with all kinds of challenges, here i am, sitting in my apprehensive state, so preoccupied with worry that i havent been letting excitement take hold of me and sweep me away (like any normal person would). This, on top of everything else, worries me.
perhaps this is normal. i mean, every student must have *some* worries upon leaving home for a foreign country and lifestyle. but i'm pretty sure that i am taking it over the top. this semester abroad is going to be a first for me in many ways: first flight by myself, first flight overseas, first visit to a foreign country (canada doesnt count), first time travelling on my own (without parents or tour to handle where i go and what i do), first extended period spent living in a foreign country, first time ive had to really cook for myself (without some sort of cafeteria to supplement me), first time living in a city, first time taking all studio art classes, first time taking an italian class, first time speaking italian, first time paying for everything, first time using a credit card, first time handling foreign money, first time planning my own trips....the list can go on forever, really. And to me it is very daunting.
i dont know why i am so worried- i wanted this! i wanted it so much! i still want it! when i had made that decision to paint in italy, i had visions of myself sitting solitary on the top of a hill with a canvas and paint overlooking the beautiful landscape of the italian countryside. somehow, in all of these tastes of reality, that vision has gotten muddled and buried within my mind. i seem to have lost touch with it, really. now i am inundated with the worries of ordering euros and bringing the right paperwork for the permit of stay; packing my life into two small suitcases, and thinking about how i will find time to go to the market and cook things on nothing but a stove top so i wont starve to death. i also worry that i wont get along with my roommates; and that for some reason a bad relationship with them will prevent me from seeing all the places i want to see and having a good time.
again, i keep having to remind myself that i wanted this. i dont think i would be happy if i had stayed at st mikes this semester- i need a change once in a while. as much as i dont like missing things happening there, i have to keep telling myself that what happens there is not nearly as extraordinary as what i will experience abroad. i still cant help but miss all the inside jokes and parties that i wont be there for, though.
maybe its good i have these worries. maybe its good that that ideal picture has been relatively annihilated- because i would probably be setting myself up for disappointment. perhaps it is best to go without any expectations, high or low, that may sway my judgement when the time comes to see the real thing. all these worries, while probably founded well, are likely to be silly once i get through it. i will probably look back on this and scoff at my naivety. but expectations are hard to get away from, as they form unconsciously and without our consent. i guess all i can hope for, really, is that the experience will be fabulous...in whatever way it ends up filling that definition. |

| double whammy |
[Jan. 20th, 2007|03:27 pm] |
sorry for the continuous survey inundation, but i can't help myself. This one is stolen from katie's xanga.
put your itunes (or whatever music player) on shuffle and see what song comes on to answer the question:
Q) How does the world see you?
A) "In Memory," Shinedown ...hm, is the world telling me not to live in the past or that it sees me through the memories it has of me?
Q) Will I have a happy life?
A) "Back In The Day," Buckcherry ...kind of doesnt make sense, but alright
Q) What do my friends really think of me?
A) "Tongue," Seether ...the only way this makes sense is kind of depressing. people would have to think im kind of emo...
Q) Do people secretly lust after me?
A) "Belle," Jack Johnson ...hey, finally one that kinda works! thats nice.
Q) How can I make myself happy?
A) "Running Out Of Days," 3 Doors Down ...again, not much sense, and again, kind of depressing
Q) What should I do with my life?
A) "Away From The Sun," 3 Doors Down (again!?) ...seriously. is my life this dark?
Q) Will I ever have children?
A) "Rise," Disturbed ...sounds promising
Q) What is some good advice for me?
A) "Shed Some Light," Shinedown ...interesting
Q) How will I be remembered?
A) "Crazy," Beyonce ...hahaha
Q) What is my signature song?
A) "I Feel You," 3 Doors Down (seriously, i dont really have that much of them)
Q) What do I think my current theme song is?
A) "I Will Follow You Into The Dark," Death Cab For Cutie ...good song.
Q) What does everyone else think my current theme song is?
A) "Headlong," Queen ...haha, apparently im outta control. some people probably do think that.
Q) What song will play at my funeral?
A) "Shook Me All Night Long," ACDC ...hahahahaha! holy cow
Q) What type of men do I like?
A) "Put You Lights On," Santana ...okay, that's weird and not in a good way. kind of creepy and doesnt make much sense again.
Q) What is my day going to be like?
A) "Sugar," Baby Bash ...hahaha, that would be interesting.
too bad this thing sucked at actually making sense. i think i'll try it again and try to make it make sense (this time cheating like danielle does :-P)

| A is for Apple... |
[Nov. 28th, 2006|02:40 am] |
Comment and I'll give you a letter; then you list 10 things you love that begin with that letter.
My letter is "A," which is fitting seeing as that starts my name...
my loves are (in no particular order):
1. Angels: they help me out a lot. i am a faithful person and believe in them.
2. Apple Cider: seriously the best juice in the world. its like literally drinking an apple. i drink a glass and i feel full afterwards- thats how awesome it is.
3. Ample time to do everything: i pretty much always want more time in this world to get things done. life would be much less stressful if everyone had enough time to get things done.
4. Accord: aaaaahhhh, my car. my lovely honda accord with the eggplant paint color thats scratched from other people's carelessness. i do love my car. i dont love those people.
5. Alcohol: this is a bad one, but when i thought of it i found it funny, so i figured i'd put it in anyway. rubbing alcohol does wonders for cuts, and the drinking kind does wonders for fun.
6. Animals: they are basically awesome. and amazing. and crazy. and loveable (well, the furry cute ones are).
7. Adventures: like that time we almost went to Ohio? yup.
8. Agreeable people: you know, people i get along with. that kind of thing.
9. Arguing: i admit it, i do love a good argument. but not like, the scream-in-your-face-immature-shouting-match kind of argument. i mean a good disagreement- with meaty conversation and proper backup.
10. Abroad: well, i havent gone yet, but im thinking that studying abroad will probably be one of the best choices ive ever made. this also refers to my love of and yearning to travel. so yup. |

| thanksgiving...yeah. |
[Nov. 27th, 2006|01:34 am] |
| [ | mood |
| |  stressed | ] |
hey so i just got this random urge to update this lame-o thing...and so im doing that in an effort to avoid doing work and stave off this disgusting nauseous feeling that is welling in my stomach due to the impending doom of deadlines and the end of the semester.
so, how's it going?
i just got back from thanksgiving break, and it was....different. usually when i go on break i revisit my old haunts...but this time that didnt happen. pretty much at all, actually. part of it i attribute to friends: lori wasnt here (so i never went to funworld or friendlys or a game night at her house or what have you), and lindsey somehow fell out of our lives (so i never hung out at her house). the other part i attribute to age. i no longer know anyone in high school, so i have no obligation to go to a thanksgiving parade or football game or show. also, things that are fun to me now are different than the things that were fun to me even these past few years.
my family thanksgiving party was different also. the same people were there (except i think usually uncle martin and uncle remi and crew make a short appearance, which they didnt this time), but the atmosphere was different. i wasnt bored to tears or annoyed by them. i didnt feel any urges to escape like i did when the cousins and i were kids. i chatted with my cousins, enjoyed a glass of wine (cranberry wine- wicked good), and had fun laughing at the silly things my senile grandparents would say. the food was wicked good and it was all around kind of fun (as fun as these things get).
aside from thanksgiving, i went to a bonfire at danielle's in the RAIN! it was rediculously cold and wet. we got soaked out there while we tried to roast marshmallows (which got soggy and then burnt). but it was a whole lotta fun cause i was with my friends. the weirdest part of the night, though, was when danielles sister kendra (two years younger) invited all of the kids in hudson to the house. we were seriously surrounded by a bunch of high schoolers and it kind of pissed me off. i felt so bad for danielle's parents cause they had no idea that they would be babysitting a bunch of teenagers that night. apparently most of these kids were "tagalongs" of kids that kendra invited. she didnt know half of them. oh well.
the other large event was the holiday stroll, which takes place on mainstreet in nashua, and which, apparently, happens every year- but to which i have never gone. 20 years and this one was my first! it was freezing, but other than that the weather was perfect. kind of a crazy night- danielle and i stuck together for the entire time and met up with different people. we saw random stuff- like this lame bluegrass group of old guys (the crowd was a bunch of whitehairs), this kinda cool jazz group (the crowd was a bunch of young people), a bell choir (boring and in the most crowded church i had ever seen), some holiday dancers (on an outdoor stage...that was kind of weird), and some high school rock band (good sound, but repetitive and kind of boring after a while). we also got hot chocolate (and managed to spill it all over ourselves), and pizza (in a place where these 12 year olds hit on us!). my parents went to the stroll too, with their friends, but i didnt see them. they stayed inside and watched barbershop groups and some big band (old people stuff). i would enjoy that stuff, actually, but i wasnt in the mood to sit for that long in a crowded, hot, stuffy building. i prefer comfort and elegance. not a sardine box.
i kept seeing kids with balloons and i really wanted one. we never found where they were giving them out, though. and erin threatened to pop mine if i got one. sad times.
so today my mom made turkey. thanksgiving was at my aunts, so we didnt have any leftovers. so to solve that problem, my mom made turkey today. i ate a late turkey lunch with my parents at 1:30, then packed and came back to school. sadly, the turkey leftovers will only benefit my parents and not me. i really should have taken some with me. i could be eating it now! *sigh*
okay, i guess im done with this. ive lost interest. ciao. |

According to studies, you drive like a typical male.
You're reckless, aggressive, and see driving as a game.

right now i am sitting at my lake house (much like i did this summer), watching tv (actually, the movie cast away- the one time i saw it before it was at the drive in at like, 1 in the morning, so i was wicked tired, didnt really pay attention, and decided i didnt like it. right now im watching it anyways because i dont care to find out what else is on. im also only watching the end because i just turned it on and i think its almost over) and trying to do homework. i have a ton to do this weekend because professors must have decided that i would have plenty of time during my four day weekend to just sit and study and read all of the time. too bad i will actually want to hang out, relax, and have fun with my family. so while my parents are sleeping and i am up (as usual), i decided this would be the best time to get some homework done...so i am updating my livejournal.
ive been grading memos for the past few hours...this means i have to read the memos (i read them at least twice each), make comments on them (i am graded on what comments i put on there!), and then finally put them in rank order from best to worst. i then have to give them to the communications team in my class who looks them over and then hands them all back to everyone. oh, and i have to put my initials on the memos, so people know who graded their memos. it's so...nerve wracking, actually, because i worry that the grade i give people will affect how they feel towards me. the only reason i worry about this is because other people grade my memos...and so i worry that the grades i give people will affect my grade in return. i know that i have been personally offended by some grades given to me by others...but i dont let it affect how i grade them. or at least i try to not let that affect me- if anything, i feel like i want to give them good grades to get on their good sides...but then that wouldnt be honest.
aside from that, i have an exam to study for in accounting, i have more projects for my XB class (the one im grading memos for), i have a project in marketing, i have reading and a paper due in my law class...and i have lots more random reading on top of that. i dont really know when i'm going to get it all done, because i really dont have time on tuesday (what with spending three hours in a car), and tomorrow im going to sleep in and then spend the afternoon with my parents and then have dinner with the neighbors....and monday my grandparents are visiting...*sigh*. life is tough...
okay, now that i bored you with the details of what homework i am doing and for what classes (all of which no one cares about but me), i will move on.
i think it's weird to be "home" right now (i put home in quotations because i'm at the lake house and i still consider Hudson home, not the lake, really). honestly, the only reason why i'm not at school this weekend is because all of my suitemates left. michelle is there, but not really- shes working and probably visiting home. so it really didnt make sense for me to stay at school all by myself. but it's rather surreal being here for some reason. i really cant explain why, but it is.
tomorrow (sunday), i hope to go out in the boat...i hope it is warm enough! i've never been out on the lake in the fall. it will be interesting to see all of the foliage and scenery. i guess tomorrow night the Faros (our neighbors) are coming over for dinner. i'm not exactly sure why. i think it might be a little celebration for their new puppy? i dunno. it's going to be kind of annoying because they are a little...tedious to deal with. their daughter is a sophomore in college, and all summer my parents kept saying "you and alyssa should hang out." and i would have, but i like, never saw the girl. she hid in her big dark house all summer, and the one time i saw her she was over here visiting with her parents and obviously didnt want to be here. her boyfriend came and she cheered up, but seriously- making conversation with her was one of the hardest things. we all have those people who are hard to talk to, and, well, shes one of them for me. so, needless to say, i am not looking forward to having to make chitter chatter with alyssa tomorrow. i'd rather be banging my head against the wall, to be honest.
......
on another note- i have been trying to think of what i want to be for halloween. it's kind of sad because the last two years were so easy for me to decide- i kind of just knew, for some reason. but this year i have no idea and i think that i'm not going to end up dressing up- simply because it will come time and i will have done no preparation. usually columbus day weekend is the time when i gather all the parts of my costume, but since i have no ideas i have done no gathering, and my costume will be painfully boring or nonexistent this year. sad times, really.
i am contemplating rummaging through the costume bin in the attic at home on tuesday before i leave to go back to school. theres a bunch of stuff in there that would be neat, but nothing i really want to do- its all been done before. there are witches hats, belly dancer belts, wings...any number of things that would be good with a costume...but none of which i think i'll use. i have a sudden urge to do a renaissance kind of thing, but i dont know what i would wear for that other than a huge fancy dress, and thats too crazy for halloween (and rediculous and probably expensive). i will just have to keep coming up with ideas, i guess. |
