Why do I want to live in the city so badly?  Because I hate this feeling of entrapment that comes with the suburbs.  Living in Columbia for the past 9 months has been great because I can WALK to do things.  I'm at my own mercy.  I don't have to depend on a car.  Things are right at my fingertips.  I was my own person.  I was free to do what I ( Read more... )

Over the past two days I've been rummaging through my room, purging all the clothes and other things that I don't want.  I've packed up dozens of pairs of shoes into bags, and thrown old jeans and tops into trash bags.  I'm really trying to thin out the mess in my life, but it's not as easy as throwing away things.  I need to throw away the bad ( Read more... )

My day was awesome and this is why:

Pancake breakfast with my girls.
Spring Game and eyeing Succop the entire time.
Leaving at the half, and the walk back not being nearly as awful as I remember.
Super Sonice burgers and Lemon-berry Slushes!
Lunching at RH and shopping for boys.
Baseball game and the wall!
The same wall boys.  VB!!
Leaving to get ready for ( Read more... )

I knew that going to school far away would create an even bigger void between me and my friends back home.  I have an entirely different life, and just like every time I move and re-establish myself, I'm incredibly proud of what I've made.  But this break, coming home has felt funny.  There are only a few people I actually want to see, that I've ( Read more... )

According to the entire world, it will be a while until I have a good relationship because I am too stable and independent.  Since when have good qualities meant undatable?  I'm SO sick of this.

I was reading this article and it was asking if your ideal man needed his space, or is he "relationship-ready?"  WHAT.  That is such crap, it's not even ( Read more... )

I had an entry started where I was simply whining again about my relationship woes, but tonight something cool happened.

Meredith, Stephanie and I went to the minor league hockey game, and it was very fun, but I had to leave a bit early for movie night for Michelle's birthday.  Matt called when he was on his way, and I said I'd meet him on Greene ( Read more... )

So I just crossposted and back dated like 10 journal entries that I had neglected to put on LJ from my xanga.  But they're there now.

Today I leave for DC.

Today I leave for the Spice Girls.

Today I leave to see my best friend.

I have butterflies.

Last night:

Coloring with Meredith.
PLACT.
We must protect this house!
Messed up UnderArmour logos.
Thinking Sam was Keith.
I Will Survive.
Keith bursting in the room while blasting I Will Survive.
Walk to Brian's.
Yelling at Calvin.
Being at Brian's for two second before deciding to go to Starbucks.
Michelle, Heather and I leaving.
Throwing Valentines candy ( Read more... )

I tell myself that alot.  I always seem to get caught in a small detail of my life, and tonight, even though I had a great night, that's happening.  I have some great friends here.  Like Meredith, Keith, Brian, Michelle, Katie, Matt, Steph, Jenn, the girls on the hall, Jason, Kelsey, Nicole, the design staff, some CP-ers.  It's really a good life, ( Read more... )

I've been trying my best recently to let go of bad things, and truly embrace the good.  It's been hard today, though I really shouldn't be upset.  Actually, I'm not upset, per se, but I'm left a little confused.  Today while rushing from Journalism to her Art History class, I asked Jen what the deal was with Kappa Rush, which was now a week ago.  ( Read more... )
