Saturday night block party in Island Park
- Lindsay, Kristina, Nora, Jaimie
- EDWIN. And Edwin remembering the good old days when I called him EdLOSE <3
- Erin not able to call me
- Etienne. Etienne actually GREW. Maybe 5 inches? I think he broke 7 feet a whiiiiiile ago....eep!
- "I've seen Emily more in the last 2 nights than I have in the last 4 years" "6 years, Chris" "Shiiiiiiiiiit"
- "You look really familiar. I know you" - Dan Travers, who I used to live around the corner from. The boy who used to offer me rides - such a nice family. Glad I didn't mess up and call him Sean. I can't believe Sean has been dead for 5 years. I can't believe I didn't go to the memorial while I was so near by. I wish I knew him better; I have never heard a bad word spoken about him.
- Bomb and his cousin, La Bamba.
- Old crushes. For the first time since I was a senior in high school, I was in the same vacinity as Danny K. We took our time to talk to each other (though I talked quite a bit to George, to be shared below), but eventually got there. Joked about how I don't live in WH anymore, had to get to Mass, and how I was turning tricks to get there. I was able to be brave enough that when he said that was a lot of tricks, I told him '2 at the most; I'm just that good'. 5 yaers ago I would NEVER have had the balls to deliver a line like that. Baby steps. He's still really cute, unfortunately. He got heavier (I saw photos) but looked better last night. Couldn't see his eyes in the darkness, but I know they're still gorgeous.
- George: "When we had that class together, we were friends". We were friends? George and I? Hilarious. Also, I called George 'Rob' by accident (actually, I said, 'where IS George' and he said "I AM George". I miss Rob).
- John with the funny shirts (last night's was about squirrels) went to give me a hug and just went and picked me up.
- Getting to put my feet up on George's back.
- Realizing I STILL don't like Mike T., and that it's OKAY that I still think he's a douchebag. I don't have to like everyone, and I really don't like him. He was such a jerk back then, and even though we didn't exchange words, I know he's still the same kid. Hasn't evolved at all. Chestnut's probably the exact same way. I have forgiven everyone else; I mean, I hugged and kissed Yohe, who I know was one of them....but I will never forgive Teich and Chestnut for continuing it. And it feels GOOD to not just forgive them because time has passed.
I did run into an old friend of mine, Nicole. I used to go to this Christian/Catholic youth group back in high school and Nicole was the leader for the group. Nicole has since gotten married and had kids and settled into the life of a homemaker.
We chatted briefly and that was it. It was nice to see her again, but (there's always a but) it made me feel even worse.
Seeing Nicole reminded me off all the fucked up things I've done in my life that I have been working hard to make right (non them involving her, however). I know it doesn't make any sense but in my head running into someone from my past reminded me off how fucked up my past really is.
Don't get me wrong, I love my life and am proud of most of the things I've accomplished but the things I'm not proud of always seem to haunt my mind. There always seems to be something that says to me "yeah, you've done good but you're still nothing but a little FUCK UP"
The fact is that I have no choice but to live with my past no matter what I do or where I go. My life has heading in a totally different direction these days and I am a different person but for now I'm still gonna be that fuck up. a I am so sick of being a fuck up and that's why I have worked so hard to get were I am and why I can never ever stop working this hard.

- Camp starts in a week. That means the boredom is coming to an end!
- Knocked Up was surprisingly funny. I went with Meshia and Justin, and it was a general good time. They were BEYOND excited that the street was paved. I found that hilarious. The movie was a lot better than I expected. ESPECIALLY since I am one of the few people between the ages of 16 and 30 who DIDN'T real like Old School, Anchorman, Wedding Crashers. ... 40 Year-Old Virgin was alright, and Dodgeball I love, but most of the recent comedies have left me...glad I didn't see them in theaters? But this one was pretty good.
- Nicole left me a voicemail that was hard to understand, but from what I understood of it, she found a note I wrote her in 7th grade (so either 1997 or 1998), possibly 8th grade. How funny is that? We're turning 22, and there's 12 year-old me apparently giving her some kind of advice - she said it's hilarious, so we'll have to go read that. I always wish I did that in school. Like, wrote a letter to myself in the future. One of the 6th grade classes did that, and as promised, the teacher delivered them to the class when we graduated high school, and they were so innocent and amazing and poorly punctuated ... and I didn't have one since my class didn't do that. Stupid my class!!
- I just rented the first few episodes of Prison Break on DVD from the video store. I didn't get to watch the second season, so I'm not sure I can REALLY list it as 'favorite tv show' anymore, but...he's too hot. I couldn't resist watching. Especially since I didn't start watching season 1 until later on, so technically, I've never seen these three episodes even though I know what happens in them.
- My little Raddish IS in a commercial! I'm so proud of him! I was watching tv, and I saw a kid in the commercial and I was like 'that mofo looks like my Conrad'...oh IT IS. You can watch it here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=fyeZKBPMAgM. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CONRAD!
- I got into Hunter College finally. I can't believe how long that took. But it's over. I applied to FOUR grad schools for teaching, and I was accepted into all of them: Hunter, NYU (because I am a GLUTTON for punishment...even though I love the ed program there so much, it is punishment), Columbia Teacher's College, and Bank Street College of Education. This also means I owe Ellen a night of drinking because I told her if we both got into all the schools we applied to, a-drinking we would go. : )
- The guy working at the Deli counter whilst food shopping was competent AND fun to talk to. He is now officially my favorite person. Second place is the woman who was on Long Island in NORTH Hempstead (I'm originally from WEST) and Plainview and Westbury last weekend.
- I'M GETTING A NEW BED. Well, technically I should write, I'M GETTING A BED! For the past few summers/winter vacations (when I'm here), I've been sleeping on the futon my parents thought would be a good idea. Well...it isn't. My back is really messed up from it. But we found a nice cheap bed, and my dad and I are going to pick it up in a few minutes and YAYYYYYYY THE END OF BACK PAIN!
- I've decided/realized that it would be absolutely HILARIOUS if Jay kept a blog/journal whatever you want to call these things. It would be fantastic to get a daily account of how many people he punched "in the botch" or just how many "CHETS!" he could work into a normal paragraph, or a random "ETCH!" thrown in there. To read exactly what new way he'll torture Kalman's Mother (or Kalman's Mother's Vagina), how many half-beers he drank to get that drunk, how many new superpowers he's developed since he started watched HEROES, how many times he can quote Heroes... and no one save about 8 people on this planet would REALLY understand half of what he was saying. I love Jay. I would love to understand half of what he says! I'd love to have it on the internet for the average person to try and decipher!
**** UPDATE ****
- New bed is good, old futon was apparently broken, that's why it sagged and was way uncomfortable. Drawback: Bed is higher up than futon...possibly as tall as parents' bed. This means dog can no longer climb up there and have a nice place to nap. Poor puppy.
- In the parking lot, I found these really crazy red bug things. I need someone who is an entymologist to help me figure out what they were - small, pretty red, orange dot on the back, probably 6-legged (I'm thinking some kind of beetle). There were a few wandering around on their own, but they mainly hung together in these giant clumps to the point that when I first saw them, I thought they were either flowers or berries from a tree. I'm highly intrigued by them.
- We just got TOTAL VIP treatment at the restaurant that opened next to our store. We got a complimentary plate of mussels (so now I can say I have eaten 2 mussels in my life...crazies), bleu cheese slices with the salad even though it said those were 2 dollars extra, and then when we said no desert, he sent us a slice of apple pie thing to share. Entire visit was DELICIOUS. Who knew my parents could get VIP anything?
We got a puppy on saturday. While my dad was away...without him knowing.
Hercules is a mix between a shitzu and a peekaneese so we had to name him Hercules, I think we're giving him an inflated ego early on. But oh well...he's adorable, I'll try and get a picture of him soon.
Besides that school started again, we'd been on mid-term last week, so that wasn't fun. I take my SSATs on saturday because even though we don't need them here in the Bahamas my parents are considering sending me away to boarding school in the States, which I am vehemently against for the record. We're actually going up to look at the school next week.
The first of the Anna Nicole Smith hearings was downtown today. It was a mob there and at her former house. And as a legal Bahamian, I'd like to clarify something I've even heard on the TV. Even though her baby was born here, she is not a bahamian and will not be able to apply for Bahamian citzenship until she is 18. Also according to Bahamian law, even though Stern's name is on the birth certificate, because the two were not legally married, Stern does NOT have automatic legal rights to the child. This is something most people with a brain here know, but of course the courts will take forever to decide, just for a little media time. (Can anyway say Seid-show judge?)
Nothing much else is going on, watching all the crap going on about Anna Nicole Smith, who they really should just let rest in peace, is fun. But nothing much else.
Later people, I go play with puppy! Who's cute...and...cute...

i wish ppl would let britney spears alone and stop making fun of her. shes obviously losing it. and ive fucking been there, ive lost it, only i didnt have the whole effin world in my face. If i did id be dead right now. what she needs is help, and all ppl can do is laugh. People laughing only drives the mad, madder, trust me i know. Ive gone psycho on ppl just for laughing. if ppl dont stop and actually try and do something there's gonna be another effin Anna Nicole, Britney will prob end up dead, and ppl will still be laughing and being arseholes. God, the horrid things i heard when Anna died, damn no wonder i hate humanity right now, there is no humanity. Anna was a train wreck we watched like a freak show and did nothing about. I just wish ppl could for once have some humanity, i mean they loved herrrrrrrrrrrr (britney) so much when she was taking off her clothes, but now, when she needs help, we can only screw her over. ppl suck, and thats why i dont waste much love on em.....:P
