so don't try to be all touchy-feely.. {yes, this will continue until the end}
shit, so i haven't updated in 10 days. let's see if i can remember what i've done. i updated last weekend and then livejournal decided it was hungry and ate the entire post. but i can try to recreate. that weekend was the busiest freaking 3 days everrrr so if i left something out, don't be offended and just let me know!
this is really long, i apologize.
to sum it up, just scroll down and if you see your name at all, it means i love you and i'm so glad we hung out and you're awesome. because everyone i've hung out with in the past 10 days fits that.
SATURDAY [june 12]~
babysitting, and christie's grad party and jessie's grad party like i mentioned. good talks with the 8th graders/freshman/hannah caruso. except, instead of going to sleep like i said i was going to, i headed down to connecticut to hang out with lindsay<3 and keith<33. we watched old episodes of freaks and geeks. if you haven't seen this show, you should. it's crazy and weird but fun. left at like 1:30 in the morning~ as soon as i hit 91, i set the cruise control to 73 and drove cross-legged the rest of the way home. soooo nice.
SUNDAY~
amanda came over and we hung out. goooood times. i feel really shitty that i never called her when jessye told me to way back then. but we had a really freaking good talk. i love that girl so much, she's someone i really want to keep in touch with.
we stopped by matt's graduation party just about long enough for me to give him a hug and congratulate him before i had to go to staff meeting and the spotting clinic. from there it was straight to the crew banquet, which was nice {even with the awkward slip up} but slightly anticlimactic {even with phil's video}.
then was the tail end of dionne's grad party, then was emily and hannah's grad parties to be semi-antisocial with hannah c, hannah j-a, sarah and ari. we were joined by nat badler, and then amykane and then drew and then lots and lots of people. drove jess and ari back and headed back to dionne's party to chill with her, danielle, melissa, karina, and carmen.
MONDAY~
i had fallen asleep at dionne's at like 11:15 and woke up at 11:16 completely exhausted, thinking i was going right to sleep when i got home. but not quite. i get home by 11:45 and *sid* ims me asking me if i want to see love, actually with him and viv. of course i do, so i head over in my pjs and don't get back til 4 am since we spent so much time talking and watched almost all the deleted scenes.
monday evening was the indigo girls! dinner at teapot beforehand with hannah x2, jessie, and appearances by ari and amykane. i've never felt so young, straight, and girly at a concert.
[highlights were become you, least complicated, ghost, shame on you, moment of forgiveness, fill it up again, galileo, power of two, and of course get out the map and closer to fine. they didn't open with get out the map like usual, and i was slightly distressed. but then the banjos came out and i was like "do it, do it, do it.." annnnd they did it. and it was amazing. closer to fine was amazing, too. when the lights went on and the entire crowd was standing up and ohh... amazingness. chickenman i am not a fan of. roar.
dear indigo girls, chickenman is not a good song. please do not play it at the next show and play hammer and a nail instead. i would be extremely content. love, christina.]
after the concert, i stopped by sid's and hung out at the party for a bit but i was so exhausted from the previous two nights that i ended up going home early and sleeeeeeping.
TUESDAY~
got to sleep in!
vermont contry deli and herrells with catrin. good talks. i really appreciate catrin. mostly because she's amazing.
then saved! with hannah caruso. so a day of amazing people. i really liked the movie, for various reasons. and seeing it with hannah was nice.
WEDNESDAY~
started buying dorm stuff!!! and by that i mean hangers. but it was still exciting.
went to bridging. i'm not sure whether or not i want to write about it in my livejournal. if i do, it will be a friends only for just the uu kids. we'll see. oh amykane, i adore you.
went to the flywheel to pick up mitchell. hung around downtown and showed him where divas was. saw the lovely brenda bell, but she was upset. so i pouted. because brenda should never be sad.
dropped mitchell off for the last few suburban legends songs, then he came back to my house. we hung out for a bit and then he went to divas while i went to middletown with allie<3 and fionna<3 to the athenian with tasha<3. sooo much fun and spontanaeity. i love it.
THURSDAY~
i can't for the freaking life of me remember what i did. can anyone remember and remind me?
i *think* this was the day i took an hour and a half long bike ride. i biked the long way to amykane's and back {she wasn't home}, and then met up with hannah c and sarah downtown for haymarket. we *all* ordered pan fried tofu sandwiches and talked about college and veganism and life in general. it was nice. sarah has been so amazing to me, especially lately, and i can't thank her enough. sarah, i don't know if you know how much i appreciate what you've done for me lately. i love you sooooo much.
i hung out with danielle later on. burned cds and talked and had the general good time. i don't know what i'd do without danielle, she's my lifesaver and one of my closest friends and we can always just get together and do nothing and still have an awesome time and crack up over ridiculous things like mcdonald's drivethrus.
FRIDAY~
erged. showered. dropped off rob's money at pearl street, then headed to *the hanger* for lovely dining with lindsay, keither, and kevin. passed adam morgan who had gotten into a car accident on the way. :( i hope everything turned out alright. ate too much, then headed to the skeptics cd release/folly show.
i love re-entry for 18+. i know it's not the best idea, but it makes me like pearl street so much more. alli, lindsay, keith, kevin, and i went on a little exploration of angela's pizza bathroom and faces and it was nice. i won't list all the people at the show, i'm sure everyone else listed them enough for me. folly was freakin excellent! <3folly<3. keith and kevin looked like little boys on christmas morning, it was sooo adorable how excited they were {i know, adorable is a weird word to use when talking about folly.. but i can't think of any other way to describe it.} skeptics were good, too, but tony was already drunk and it made the set kind of annoying. they played gabby's. yay. :)
afterwards, jessy and i dropped off my car, picked up some snacks, and headed over to tony's. there were sooo many people there, but the ones that matter were: tony, rob, crippled mark, chris, carlene, michelle, anna, jenk, shamia, ali, tiffany, jessay, jessy. i was social for once, and i had a lot of fun. i think the last people left at about 5, and then carlene, jessay, rob, mark, and me stayed over. mark and i stayed up til like 6:30 watching really bad music stations i hadn't even heard of and mtv2. it was good times. he went back home because there was no way that couch could fit two people and neither of us wanted to sleep on the floor with the smelly dog haha. i fell asleep at about 6:45.
SATURDAY~
jessay woke me up at about 9:15 and we headed out to jake's. had good talks, which was really nice because i always think she hates me and i get really nervous. she came back to my house and showered and i finished up some work. slept from 3:45 - 6:30, then went up to shelburne falls to celebrate father's day with the parents.
felt really awake when i came back, so i got both members of the late-night crew {allie and noam} and crippled mark. <3 x3. we were going to go to jake's latenight, but it wasn't open ::gasp:: so we went to whatley diner. allie saw the cute guy she'd talked to at the beach {ooooooh!}. we all entertained ourselves listening to the drunk truckers and mark knocked soda on me. :P noam drove my car around {he's one of two people i let drive that car} and we followed this suv around for a while but then got bored and went to the boathouse. dropped off allie, then noam showed me how to get to easthampton from his house and we dropped off mark, drove around a bit, and then went home.
SUNDAY~
danielle came over and we got alli and headed down to durham. alli and i hadn't been to the same show for soooo long {minus the skeptics show, obviously}, i misseded her! i had an excellent time at the show, i love drama-free shows and that's what this one was. minus the water balloon shit, but that's just people being idiotic. nicole was there <333 i love nicole. and keith!! and cassey and lots of people. andy was pouty during via audio and i wished i could've cheered him up, but i didn't know what to say and also i don't think he likes me very much. bills last show with tft ::pouty face:: and dan didn't go because he decided he wanted to celebrate father's day.
dennys after the show. our table was mark nussbaum, casey, mike, alli, abby for a bit, andy for the other bit, and danielle. tasha, john, keithers, annie, and others were also there. it was nice, although a little embarassing at times because mark was an asshole to the infamous walter.
danielle and i had our required goodtalk on the way home and alli participated a bit too, it was nice. i love it when shows are good and food is good and rides are good. i love danielle and alli :)
MONDAY~
didn't fall asleep til like 10 in the morning. woke up at 11:30 and got ready.
picked up allie and fionnuala and headed down to holy land! holy shit, it was incredible. we took 3 rolls of film. *thank you, tasha, for telling us about it!* we went to friendlys after. allie and fionna are two of the easiest people in the world to hang out with, and i'm so glad they were the ones i went with. we had such a fun time there and hanging out with each other.
came back, dropped fionnuala off, and headed over to risa's with allie and caught up a bit. i haven't hung out with risa in literally years, so it was really nice. then risa had to eat dinner and allie and i walked around downtown a bit. it was so sad because it was still so light out, but since it was past 8 pm on a monday night, like everywhere was closed. dropped allie off and picked up crippled mark. we wandered around downtown for a bit and then saw rob, carlene, shalane (?!), michelle, john, and sergio. lots of fun talking outside thornes for way too long about flashing cars, not-so-secret love notes that were left in the street. carlene and i caught up.
we all kind of dispersed, and mark and i went to blockbuster on a quest for a vhs movie, which we did not find. we ended up renting lost in translation and just watching it on my laptop. i kind of missed most of the movie because we were talking the whole time so if anyone wants to come over and watch it with me in the next few days, i want to watch it again. mark and i hung out until like 3, then i drove him home. i heart mark, i wish he wasn't leaving for tour. rob, either. i want to hang out with them this summer! ::makes a pouty face and stamps her foot::
and now it's tuesday. and it's 6:08 in the morning. and i need to wake up at 7:30. so i'm going to bed. damn i don't sleep enough.
do you ever wish you could have an instant replay in your mind to play back things that people say to you? i've wished that soooo many times in the past week. people have been so amazing, and i'm constantly in awe of all my friends and the incredible and/or profound and/or simply really freaking nice things they say. i wish i could record them all so i could always have them to listen.
ps- dan lang-gunn, i heart you so very much and i'm sorry i'm a shitty friend. <333333333 i care about you tons, and i hope everything's going well with you. i'm sorry i've been too selfish to be a good friend. you=amazing.com/incredible/awesometimes1000/the.best!!!
this is really long, i apologize.
