So at 8 a.m., my cell phone rings and it's an England number. I pick up and I hear Laura yelling hi and Rachael in the background yelling hi. They're back at uni, both moved in, going through orientation week. They have class starting next week. They're going to the Student Union tonight and I'm so jealous. I feel like I'm always on the wrong side ( Read more... )

Well, I am back from L.A. and happy to be home. I had a really good time, but the sleeping on couches and the weird eating hours, as well as the running around all day wore me out like nothing else. Lizzie has the cutest apartment ever though... it has purple carpets and 2 bedrooms, and a balcony. I really like it, and she has the big leaf from ( Read more... )

I am in L.A. right now with Rachel and Lizzie. It's morning, so I'm sleepy and not feeling very talkative but so far, we've seen campus, Westwood, Hollywood, Sunset Blvd. and went to see Ray Lamontagne play last night (he was really good, by the way). So, yeah, it's been fun. For some reason, there was some tenstion yesterday, but it all seems to ( Read more... )

So, Monday was Rachel's 21st birthday. A group of us went out... Mandi, Em, Rachie, BJ, Justin, Russ, Veronica and Eric (Paula and Cindy came for one drink). We had planned to go to the Blue Lamp originally, but last minute, decided to go to Zebra instead. We got to Zebra and it was Monday night football and a bunch of skeezy old truck driver ( Read more... )

I'm currently watching the film Notting Hill and I just love this movie. I don't know if it's because it's filmed completely in England, in London, to be precise, and I feel like I'm home when I watch movies that take place there, I feel like I'm home. The British accents, seeing Portobello Road and the market, seeing Hampstead Heath... oh man. It' ( Read more... )

So, after waiting for what seemed like ages for my dream Vans to come in the mail, I got them and they're too small. I have to send them back, wait for the credit on my credit card, and then order them again. SO annoying, and I'm so bummed. I've been waiting so long and I really wanted to have them for the trip down to L.A. Poo in a glass ( Read more... )

After hanging out with Rachie at the Mason's house, Rachel and I went to see Evan last night. He's going to grad school in Scotland, and he left early this morning so I wanted to stop by and see him before he left for another year. He had 3 of his British friends with him, and his house was a crazy mess from him trying to pack. It was really good ( Read more... )

In response to my last journal entry, I've reached a point where I'm done trying to fix things between me and people I used to be close to. I've been working my ass off this summer trying to fix the things I'd done wrong and trying to mend the broken fences but it's all a joke. Since I'm the only one putting in the effort, then I'm just not going ( Read more... )

Rachel and I went out to dinner a couple of nights ago and we were talking about groups of friends and how much things change. Like our group from high school: Sarah, Lizzie, Emilia, Jennie, Rachel and me. So much drama happened, none of us were at all laid back and we all were way too into causing fights and being catty. We were all guilty of ( Read more... )

I am such a geek. I realize I haven't matured at all when it comes to boys in the last few years. Let's look at some examples. There are no real prospects for me right now in the boyfriend area, but I do have a couple of crushes on guys that I see around ( Read more... )
