i swear, this will be my last entry. this morning at 3:39am a new life was born into this world in Greeley, CO. Jane Francis McCartney weighed 8lbs, 10oz at 20in long. the only problem (and it was a minor one at that) was that she had been positioned funny on my sister's pelvis while in the womb, so her entire head is bruised, she seriously has ( Read more... )

wow. what an exciting day it has been in the Ariniello household. this morning my mother discovered her van had a flat tire. i woke at 9am in order to take a whole bunch of branches to the dump, then i went out to school to deliver a few gifts and notes to teachers. at this time my sister and brother-in-law were closing on their new townhouse ( Read more... )

ummmm. . .holy shit. i'm quite shaken up, i'm not gonna lie. all i was doing was driving down to HF to leave a few things for the teachers, say my last good-byes, get some gas and head back home. never thought that my laid-back day would be quite so tramatizing. at least no one was hurt, though i got scratched pretty good by my seatbelt on my ( Read more... )

just to forewarn you all, i'm going to be terminating my livejournal in only two days. sorry, but you see on our final day for mr. domko's class, we had this guestspeaker, a policeman from broomfield who made a presentation about the dangers of myspace, IMs and all that other stuff and, to put it plainly, IT FREAKED ME OUT. i've only just ( Read more... )

i've just had the pleasure of reading "Wuthering Heights" by Emily Bronte. highly recommended, heavy reading though. i mean, wow. i hope i can develop into a writer with such complexity of plot and deepness of characters. so amazing. i'm becoming so attached to english writing and authors. i swear i'm gonna come back to HF and become an AP ( Read more... )

holy cow. funniest night of my life. WOW. so today i went to hesemann's party (thanks for saving me maria), then justin's, which were both quite amusing and relaxing. get to bennett's. . .hmmm. . .yeah, cheryl and i were just making all these jokes about how we were invisible, right? it was funny cuz it was true. thanks, though, to noah who ( Read more... )

i have never been so immersed in superficiality in my life. this includes myself, mostly because i had a bad attitude--i admit it, maria--coming into the whole thing, but the more i think about it, the more it was all true. yes, i'll miss these people, but i KNOW that i will really only stay in contact w/ a select few individuals for the FIRST ( Read more... )

maybe it's just because that was my first lesson, but i think that all clutches and five-speed cars should DIE. oh my goodness, that was the WORST driving lesson of my life. i felt like i was fifteen again, learning to drive for the first time. i couldn't even stop w/o making the car scream at me. stalled about ten times, even on 28th street at ( Read more... )

to spare you from reading my incessant ramblings, i'll make this entry short and sweet. thank you for smoking is an excellent satire, i applaud the writers for coming up with the witty and clever (sorry for the redundancy) humor of the whole thing and the message at the end is one i simply agree to: smoking is the choice of the consumer. yes, i ( Read more... )
