Well. this is the entree of all entrees.
So much has happened.

last week...Monday night, A friend of mine had come over to hang out and watch some TV. Got late. So, i was just like. " stay". So, I did it right. I got him some pillows, and blankets... and got him all set up on the couch. My friend Cody from Virginia was there for the weekend, and they had hit it off pretty well so I didn't see a problem. around 3 am... I went to sleep in my room. I sleep with the door open when I am alone because I get a little scared of the dark. But I was out. I was extremely tired. I woke up around 6 am with this giant need to get out of bed ( rare, I could sleep all day ). and I walked into the living room to turn off the TV... My friend Cody was sound asleep. I looked around, first, I noticed Ronan was gone. I was thinking.." wonder why he left. Then I noticed, the room looked soo empty. It took me about 20 seconds to notice everything big was gone. Mother fucker took my Laptop, My Guitar, My cell phone, My Camera....My wallet... and my tiffany's necklace. Leah's bowl. Keep in mind, I had hung out with this kid a handful of times. He had been to my place before. He seemed really cool.. and normal. He was in a band.. from Ireland.. I met him brother... He had even been to our house. I ran in, Woke up my roommate, woke up Cody... Then I felt like the walls were closing in on me. Ask Leah. I sat there, crying until my body made me throw up. I had not been upset like that in a long time. most likely since I was a kid. I used her cell phone, called the police. I'm lucky they got my address right threw my sobbing. 15 minuets later, a cop shows up. Takes the report... and leaves just as quick. Its about... 6:30 at this point. He said to call the detectives when they open at 8. I called 8:01. they still hadn't gotten my report from the police. Well. I didn't have my cell phone cause that fucking kid stole that too.. and I didn't know anyone's number. Not my dad, or my mom.. Nobody. So I called T-mobile.. got them to tell me my moms number... called her. She screamed at me and let me know how stupid I had been.. Got my brothers cell.. the called him, got my dads cell. Called my dad. Once my dad knew I was ok, he said he would call me back. He called me back on leae cell and said he was sitting ( keep in mind, this is Marco island Florida... lonngggg wayyyy awwaayyy since I am in Boston ) With a private detective from Boston. He wanted me to give him all the information I knew on the kid, then he was going to call his partner.. and give him the info. 20 minutes later, his partner called me... said he would be more then happy to do Dennis ( my dad) a favor. I guess these are old friends of my fathers from when he lived here. and one of them just HAPPEND to be sitting with him for breakfast in Florida . What are the chances? So, Steve ( the big scary guy my dad knows ) called me at like 11:00.. and told me that he found the kids address.. and he was on his way to his house right now. I don't know what this kid thought he was doing. We knew his first and last name.. the town he lived in.. the fact that he had only been in the USA a short while.. and he was COVERD in Tattoos. we knew his cell phone number, his email address... hell. If needed I bet I could of told the cops his shoe size. anyway's. I was still crying non stop.. and Steve ( detective) told me not to worry, he will get my things back. He said he felt good about this. I had to go to work.. and with no cell phone, Leah took over. ( I love you girl! ) talking back and forth with the detective.. and the police.. and everything. I had the worst day at work. I didn't want to sing. I didn't want to play.. I just wanted to go and cry somewhere. My life.. everything I loved that could be paid for. was gone. I just couldn't understand why it happened to me. So, I called my dad... and he updated me threw the land line at work. about 3 PM..My dad called me at work.. and said the detective had not only found Ronan... but most of my stuff! The kid had hidden my things in a dumpster. first he told the detective he didn't know me, and that he was home with his brother. Then he said I had given him the things ( are you kidding) then he finally said I was shit faced and let him borrow them. There are two things wrong with that last statement. One. I don't drink much. When I do.. I am hardly ever out of control. that night, I had maybe 3 beers... hours and hours before I went to sleep. I was completely sober. and two: I don't know about you, but I don't keep things people let me borrow in the dumpster 5 blocks from my house. eh. So,,, everything but my wallet and grandmothers necklace and Leah's bowl was returned. Steve ( detective) met me at my house after work and returned everything els.. I am SO LUCKY! the fact that my father happened to be having breakfast with his partner.. and he was abe to locate this kid... amazing.

So after that.. I think I thought I would never have anyone els over..Live alone... get some cats... haha. But.. I like meeting new people. I'm going wait a while before inviting any new friends to my house... and keep everything locked in my room when there in company over... and not leave anything important to me loosely in the living room.

today at 6 Steve the detective is coming over. I guess the paper wants a story on what happened. this guys did this for me as a favor to my father. I would be more then happy to help him write a story. Its the least I could do.

Then.. the rest of my week was filled with " I am so lucky" and what not. Friday.. I got on a plane..and went to Florida for the Christmas party at camp.

That was so much fun. Dale picked my up from the airport.. and we headed to camp. We got lost.. and ended up taking a 3 and a half hour scenic rout to camp. Stopped at a gas station, and I picked up a few scratch tickets.. Won 30 bucks.. and bought a " Bling bling " necklaces for my white elephant gift.. and we headed to camp. the next few hours was spent cleaning and decorating for the kids to come. i was feeling a little down after having to explain the same story to about 10 people.. who had herd differently what my situation was. I kind of just wanted to sleep.. but I went out instead. I'm glad I did. That night, I went out with Kristen, Pete.,..Irene and Michelle...few others. We went to get some coffee.. We went to the same place that we had seen the " day after tomorrow" over the summer. It was nice to be there. I got subway. 6 inch tuna. we headed back to camp after stopping at the grocery store, and I spent like 70 bucks on things I forgot to pack. The morning started at 7:30.Joe came! that was great! breakfast in the dinning hall till 8. I saw a lot of people and friends I had not seen in 2 summers some of them. It was SOOO NICE! i saw JP and Scotty. It was awesome. We had a quick meeting... went to our stations. kids rolled in around 11. I saw so many faces I had not seen in a while. I got so many needed hugs. It was fantastic. We cleaned up around 3:30 , after the pop shop sang, and the marching band played. Mr Spivey rolled in on afire truck. It took us a hour and a half to break down and clean what took 3 days to put up. Dorcas said it was the fastest EVER because there were so many volunteers there. Me and Joe went to get something to eat... Got back to camp.. said our goodbyes.. I straightened my hair.. got dressed. I was a little sad it was so cold. I had gotten this great outfit to wear.. but me being me.. and thinking " this will be perfect, its Florida!" it was to cold to wear. So. instead of the awesome skirt, and fancy new heels I had gotten.. I wore my new Boggy creek hoddie and jeans. Original. lol. Headed to the holiday party fashionably late with Michelle... around 7:30. Dorcas was armed with a blender full of white Russian... and everyone was sitting around the bonfire talking about the last summer. Some conversations dated even further back. It was held at mike D's house. Walked is, had a drink given to me, and started to remember how much I missed these people. There were So many return staff here. It was so nice. the drink Dorcas made was to much. I couldn't handle it... so I pawned it off to Scotty.. then grabbed a pop. we got everyone together ( over 55 of us!) and drew numbers for the white elephant gift exchange. i got 53, and Renee got 54. ( you want bigger numbers so you can swap out and get whatever you want ). Everyone wanted Dorcas's gift.. It was two hand painted wine glasses and a bottle of nice white wine. I just wanted to glasses. lol So.. everyone did there thing. Dorcas picked a box with a pregnancy test in it. Halarious. Then, Lisa took that from her.. and Dorcas picked a bag of cow shit. it was not her night. lol. But then mr Bill took that from her, and she had to go back to the tree. I urged her to pick the bag I had brought because I knew She would LOVE the bling. lol. It was C A.. and she had said she needed a really ghetto looking necklace for a costume for one of the theme weeks. She picked it.. and was so happy. That was awesome. Then.. as she was telling me how perfect it was.. ( and she was wearing it!) i said ti her.. all I wanted to get was her glasses. lol. She told me that when It was my turn, to go behind the big boxed, and grab a purple bag. I did. In it were two wine glasses! I was SO HAPPY! but.. then.. the next person took them from me, and I had to go back to the tree.. where I got a potato, and a power rangers movie, and a stick of gum. needless to say.. that's the game. haha. I had what i wanted, and just like that, it was gone. Dorcas said to me" leave your bag open.. and in about 5 minutes, come look inside. I did. and dorcas had given me two different hand painted glasses.. they were even more amazing then the ones I had picked from under the tree. ( she had made a few extras I guess ) But.. It made me SOOO happy. They are gorgeous. I was a little worried taking them on the plane.. but everything worked out okay. That night, I said goodbye to a lot of people I don't know if I will ever see again. that makes me sad.. but I'm glad I got to spend this time with them. I headed back to the cabin around 2 with a few people. We sat around watching old slide shows and talking. I fell asleep...... little early.but was woken up by the most horrendous snoring around 4 am.. and I just layed there thinking and laughing.

Dale over slept so his Girlfriend had to take me to the airport. No problem. I just didn't get to say goodbye to dale. But ill see him soon enough. He's coming to Boston in a month or so. Kristin is coming next week. and Christina in Canada will be local in about 3 weeks, so she might stay a day or two with me. nice.

that was my week. I worked yesterday.. came home.. Hung out with my lovely roommate.. and then went to bed after watching the newest Pornucopia on HBO.. and then falling asleep during a special on escorts in NYC. then, woke up this morning and here I am .

I already developed the 12 rolls of film i took in Florida. Ill post the pictures tonight after I scan the good ones.
