kaitlin has been waiting forever for me to write about some stuff thats been happening so i guess nows the time to finally update.

hokay, so going allll the way back to july 31st. the sleepover with cousins at grandmas house. um i guess ill just say that we are waay too comfortable with each other. emily and kevin were doing some things under the covers and i dont even want to know. i just heard things like "em come here you big ball of joy", "stop it hurts", "i wanna join!" *crash*, "hey! this is a one person sleeping bag!", "ew he just gave me a cupcake", "why do i have to sleep next to your sister", "what are you doing in those blankets? can i come? i wanna play too", and kevin making very bad noises. thats what you heard from them. from michelle and me you heard things like "guys your not supposed to hump your cousins", "everythings gone astray", "this is out of control", etc. some other memorable quotes include "abu acrrrr", "im having an aneurism, whats that?", and "i love how cheryl tells me about her hemmerhoids. i shouldnt even mention the other things like kevin talking about window sex, getting tattooed all over my leg with marker (and also getting them thrown violently towards me leaving bruises), getting a cheez doodle shoved down my sock the second i turn my back, and bamboo references. but i just did anyway.

thats only about a third of it but im going out, so i hope that is satisfying for now and ill update later. paycee.

alpacas.

mini golfing with nick and gina tonight was vair vair amusant times.

i cant believe i'm moving a week from tomorrow.

it still seems unreal.

should be fun though.

hah i love the goo goo dolls.

"It's better to have a pocket full of regrets than to never have lived." -John Rzeznik

"What moved me most about the film was how it presented a metaphor of the defenses we develop to protect ourselves and how taking a leap or risk is so important to really live...to really be alive" — John Rzeznik [on City of Angels]

^ i'll have to see that now. and tresure planet. apparently he wrote and performed a song for it. i still have to see transformers too.

"It's all entertainment. It's like watching a fuckin' movie. Everybody is floating around in their own vapor. I find it amusing." — John talking about the Grammy's

"I was really glad we got to do something like that -- I grew up watching Sesame Street. I got to meet Grover. He was always my favorite. You get so sucked into them. They are so alive and so real that you forget that there's a large man with his hand up the butt of this puppet."

ahah

ended up going to the diner tonight with my sister and my cousin.
what else is new
haha they are such boobs, i love them.

kevin and i went into the bathroom together cause we're weird or something idk and there were straws in there which made us laugh because of that video we made where he was liek .. "you just take one of them straws there and stick it up!" mannnn.

em and kev said that i'm birdy. i dont know why. but emily is elfy and kevin is pointy so i guess its okay., apparently michelle is pitching mound? whatever that means. em is so elfy, in fact, that she had to be told to "put her elf in a box". maybe to ship off to santa via north pole express.

hm. me and kevin wasted like 5 bucks buying tiny beach balls that we were blowing up and throwing around in front of the diner. oh welllll, at least he asked first. ("steph, can we waste your money?") so we did. ..beach party with no sand "dont pop my balls" "thats disgusting!"

he BUMPed me .. i have to go with gina and michelle and colleen to see hairspray tomorrow because of zac efron and the dirty references and michelle's screaming in movie theaters.

em bit into a pickle and pickle juice went all over the place. whatever, she likes girls.

then we were talkin about how i ran over a raccoon the other night in my dad's car for some reason so my uncle had to tell me a story about he unintentionally licked a dead rat.

thats my family in a nutshell

kevin had to tell me a lot of stuff about fat people too.
some girl was like dancing around amongst little boy underwear in the store singing "i'm like the wind"

i also had to go to his house with him after dinner to play wii.

then i had to go pick up michelle from work at 9 and she was like OMG the end

but not really

cause then we toasted quesadillas in her toaster and she bit into it but really she ate part of a paper towel

and then emily walked into the kitchen and michelle said : "wow em, you actually look feminine today."

now it's the end.

oh but p.s.: jimmy suck my balls is freaking jacked. he weighs over 200 pounds because he put up so much muscle

kiss it you gay fag.

oh AND church this morning. alan - "oh, you were gonna end it?"
best line all year.

Top 5 things flutists do when they're bored:
1. blow through your flute with all the holes closed and pretend you're darth vader
2. try to figure out a trill fingering for C4 to D4 ... bonus points if you use a piccolo
3. play your flute into a box fan
4. finger low D on a piccolo, cover the hole with your pinky, then suck all the air out. take all your fingers off except your pinky ... the keys stay down! (well, now you're stuck with a piccolo attached to your tongue - press the Ab key to open the vacuum)
5. find the most beautiful song you can and add three flats

Top ten reasons to play flute:
10. Low maintenance - no reeds, valve oil, etc
9. Can easily overpower any other woodwind
8. Extremely portable - can be slipped in a backpack, in your pocket, or through a needle's eye
7. Quick disassemble for fast exits
6. You can pretend to play and no one will know the difference
5. Learning to transpose trumpet music
4. With practice, makes a great blowgun
3. NO SPIT
2. Lightweight
1. High pitched notes drive animals nuts

Five reasons not to:
5. Getting yelled at for playing too loud
4. Composers expect you to be able to play the quicket, most complicated runs just by virtue of being a flutist
3. Goes out of tune in record time
2. Being barred from jazz band
1. People expect you to be a ditz.

finally something to do.

2007-07-15T15:07:00.001-04:00

so i went to salsa last night with michelle and jennie to visit chelle and cheryl had a few days she needed coverage for and i need money so i'm gonna work thursday the 26th. woooo i can probably make about 40 bucks that night lol better than the nothing i make now. whatevs. i also went to get a new flute yesterday and ended up bring home two - a miyazawa and a muramatsu. i'm going back after my road test on friday after i decide which one i want, even though i'm pretty sure i'm gonna end up keeping the miyazawa. i really really hope i pass my road test - i practiced parallel parking the other day and kept hitting the curb but i think i got it down now. urg i'm keeping my fingers crossed. anywho, i finally wasnt cooped up in the house today. went to church with dad and grandparents this morning. went up into the choir loft to see some people after and gary said theyre not rehearsing this week but i can come next sunday since theyll just be winging it basically so i'll show up..me and my new flute :) hehe i'm also playing at open mic at cool beanz on tuesday so i'm gonna play the miyazawa there and see how that goes. so after church, i drove home and did a parallel park and it was good, little close to the curb but i didnt hit. then grandma and grandpa came over to see/hear the new flutes and then i went food shopping with mom and emily. except emily and i went to starbucks first then wandered around smithtown a little and ended up at ben and jerry's lol i have to go take max for a walk with em now and maybe go in the pool after even though i just straightened my hair this morning. i dunno. i'm rambling. i'm bored. i'm leaving.

does being a stalker mean you're considered creepy and deranged?

i think i have a problem.

wore my retainers for the first time in about 3 weeks last night.
teeth hurt like hell this morning.

putters.

2007-07-12T22:36:00.000-04:00

went mini golfing with michelle, jennie, and emily. =)
it was definitely a game of miniature businesses.

no putting putters in whales...but only in witch nostrils.

hahaha quality.

this is getting ridiculous.

2007-07-11T23:43:00.000-04:00

mary wash said they would post up roommate assignments on july 9th.

then on july 8th, that got changed to "after july 10th"

then on july 10th, the website changed to say "we anticipate them being posted late on july 11th, sorry for the delay!"

i think that july 11th at 11:37pm qualifies as "late on july 11th", do you not?

but alas, nothing has been posted.

in even sadder news, they did say that only 42% of people that requested the residence hall that i requested actually got in. wonderful.

in addition, many people were "temporarily" stuck into triples and may or may not have the option of moving into a double as rooms become (or do not become) available.

in sadder sad news, i did nothing today but watch basically the entire season of top chef.

which is okay, because the rest of this past week has been utterly and completely fabbity fab fab!

...and in even saddest news, i went through my buddy list and deleted people that i dont talk to anymore, and i am now left with 28 buddies.

9 of which are my cousin kevin...stupid boob

and 5 of which are there for (very very important) stalking purposes.

sacre bloody bleu and triple merde.

i hate waiting.

"i'm figuring out what i need to do to get my music heard and have an outlet for all the songs i have in my head. lately i feel my music screaming to jump out of my skin. i have spent plenty of time flourishing my art without business. but i feel blessed that i live in a time where i can get really good and give myself to something i feel passionate about. making music is a necessity, an urge that needs to be released. i know that the need to make music and 'get it out there' is physical and you will find your needle in the haystack...its a long way to tipperary."
-mr. pierce :)

balls.

2007-07-01T19:57:00.001-04:00

so today i was told by an old friend that my balls are a bit rounder. a certain ball got wet and we had to leave it out to dry. we also had the experience of headbanging and chesting balls. but my frisbee skills are much better.

in other news, my assigned slot to register for classes is between 7/19 at 8am and 7/20 at 5pm. which sucks. i hope i remember.

only two more days until i get my stitches out. i just wish i could play my fluuuute again. it was so different sitting down in the actual church today instead of being up in the choir loft. werd.

omgggggggyo the followup.

2007-06-29T23:34:00.000-04:00

dude. effingggg awesome. this has to have been the best one of them all. the hilariousness started all the way back when gangz called me to see what time we should even go. it was just the most awkward phone call i've ever had. hahahahaha then in the car typing 36896 instead of 366. then we get there and sit in two chairs. then its silence and all you hear is "he got arrested ... so drunk ..." then the song about a group of monkeys. so inspring. then the guy squatting down. almost sitting on her lap. but instead he decided to knock the sugar over and switch coffee cups with another dude. "i think that ones yours..." then this guy looked familiar. then michael korb loved my shirt and i'm awesome and i rock. and i love him. then there was a cockroach crawling across the floor. then i thought i would have to get in a car and drive somewhere with someone and they took down a sign but then i was just a lard. and then i couldnt stop laughing the whole time and my face hurt like crazy and i thought i had dry socket so gangz said "open up, i'll look and see if it's red." the end.

omggggyo.

2007-06-29T18:03:00.001-04:00

i'm so excitedddddd for tonight. going with gina (and my sister?) to cool beanz to see joe ady and michael korb at 8 and we made shirts and everythingg! but this will probably be the last show i can go to before i move =/

2007-04-27T23:34:00.000-04:00

it is so much fun to watch billy stuff the paper clip holder with mints. and for cheryl to get mad and tell him that if he does it again she will stuff his pay envelope with them. then he would just not show up for work for a week. and everyone would be like "where the fuck is billy?" and i would be like "he got paid in candy and didnt like it."

it is also fun when people bitch about not getting enough chip bags with their order. or having to pay 80 cents for salsa. its 80 cents. you will survive, you destitute.

so i have to come to realize that in adolescent life, finding the "love of their life" is the most important thing to most people. and there are so many couples that say they are in love, but at this point, is it really possible to know? what does it actually mean to be in love? i think that a lot of times, comfort is mistaken for love. we are with someone so long that we start to just feel comfortable around them or feel like you can just be yourself, and that is mistaken for love. i am pretty sure that i myself have fallen into this trap of "comfort".

jeez.

stuffs happenin'

2007-04-20T23:15:00.000-04:00

me and chelle worked together tonight. fun times.

ahah she is so blunt. yes yes yes. i dont know what to do. the next week should be very interesting indeed

but in any case, i am free no matter what rules surround me. if i find them tolerable, i tolerate them. if i find them too obnoxious, i break them. i am free because i know that i alone am morally responsible for everything i do.

right?

sleeping over grandma and grandpa's tomorrow!

Ok, I have to record another crazy dream I had last night lol. I dont even know where I was in this dream but it was like a huge party - maybe a clay aiken cd release party? - and clay and conlan were there, so it was like the best. and after the party everyone was going to a clay concert. so aishling was there too i think (dont ask) and this random girl came up to me and was like "i made you a poster for the concert" and it said something about clay on it but then there was a picture of justin timberlake on the front and on the back... so the party is over and everyone leaves to go to the concert, except clay is still there talking to miss conlan and me and aishling are the only other people also still at the concert. so conlan goes "i guess we should all get going to the concert" and aishling says "i'll go start the car" (we were driving together) and as she's leaving i started talking to clay and he goes "i'll go get my car too" and then he clicks his keys to unlock the door and when it unlocks, the car says "hey get in you sexy bitch, get in the car" and i was like omgg hahaha that is soo cool! and it was like a red convertible i think, clay always has a red convertible in my dreams..idk..i think i woke up after that lol

there are no words.

yo mannnn. choir was the shiznit tonight, fo' real. before we started, gary turned off the lights and was like "just leave the lights off for a few minutes" and then went downstairs. so i was like ok what is he up to lol and judy wanted to turn the lights back on but we were like nooppppe gary wants them off so she's like fine we'll just turn them down then hah, so a few mins go by and then all the sudden this booming voice fills the church "I AM YOUR FATHER" and "COME TO THE DARK SIDE LUKE" and then he was breathing into the mic like darth vader and he had a green light saber lmao it was great. so yeah then he came upstairs with it and the thing was pretty intense. apparently he got it for christmas..? it was like a long neon bulb and there are sound effects when you wave it and when you turn it on and off. hah joe was like "that could be the real thing" and alan goes "HE could be the real thing"

...ok, you had to be there. =]

2006-12-30T11:12:00.000-05:00

two nights ago, i had the weirdest (and coolest, in a way) dream ever. because the whole thing was based on clay aiken. so, school ended and either i had a bus and i missed it or i didnt want to walk or something but either way, i didn't have any ride home because everyone in my house was at work. so i called clay up on my cell phone to come pick me up from school and drive me home so he said yeah i'll be right there. it was still kings park high school where this was taking place but the parking lot in front was different and it was huge and there was like the whole section where you go if you are picking someone up, but clay didnt go there, he went and parked somewhere and i didnt know so i was waiting for him but really he was already there. and then he called my cell phone all pissed off like where are you and i was like where are YOU and then i found him in his red convertible with the top down (and he still had spiky hair) and my mom was in a pink barbie car with my sister parked next to him so i waved to them and then got in the car with clay and we went to the mall. and we were just walking around and people kept staring and then asking to take a picture with him and i had to stand to the side and wait while they got the picture taken. so yeah everyones gasping when they see us and pointing like "omg its clay" and i was thinking "yeah its clay so what leave us alone and mind your own business" and i was totally unaffected by the fact that i was at the mall with clay. anyway then we were standing there and some girl comes up to us and goes "hey clay i wonder if you actually read your myspace comments" and then just walks away. and then clay's face was like =O and he started sprinting across the mall lol so i started running after him cause dude he's my ride remember? so then out of nowhere we are in this random living room and clay is on the computer on his myspace accepting his friend requests and then out of nowhere again we are back in the mall but it was a part of the mall that doesnt exist in real life, it was just white walls and it was like a short hallway with one room and it was as if clay was backstage before a show b/c jerome was there and people were walking in and out with guitars and amps and whatnot. then people saw me and i guess they remembered i was there with clay so they thought clay must be in the door since i was just standing outside it. clay came out once and looked at us and then went away and jerome told us all to leave and i was angry because i didnt say goodbye to clay and then i woke up lol

i felt like that dream took the whole night.

anyway, i have to work at 4 today for michelle since it is her birthday and i am a good cousin. last night was cool though, andrea filled in for kate, devin was there.. i was cleaning the menus and he was just staring at me so i looked up at him and he raises his eyebrows and has this look like wtf on his face so i was like "am i doing something wrong?" and he says "no i'm just trying to make you think you are" and then later in the night he came over and said "so. i predict that this summer there will be shortages of tomatoes and eggplants.. probably less grapes too. either that or they will all be shipped off to make wine. the apples will be all mealy on the inside.." and when i asked him what his reasoning was behind these predictions he said "its global warming. do this experiment: put a garbage can lid on your lawn in the summer for two or three days and then when you take it off the grass should be pale green almost white and about 4 inches longer than the grass around it. its the same thing with the vegetables, except the clouds are the garbage can lid." and then walked away.. then later some guy was picking up his take out order and devin came over and just stared at me while i told him how much it was, made change, gave him the change, put the chips in his bag, then he left and he stared at me while i answered the phone and put a take out order through so i was like "you like watching my every move dont you?" and he goes "yes but it is not affecting you the way i had hoped. i know some zen buddhists who would be intimidated by you. your cage never rattles. you are considered an enemy to people like me whose sole reason for existance is to stir up trouble." lol and then when we were closing, andrea was reading the quotes that cheryl has up on the side of the refrigerator and me and devin were kinda just standing there and then she read the one that said "we are spiritual beings having a physical experience" and devin goes "thats what cheryl and steve say every night at the end of each session" and i was like "omg devin i hate you soo muchh"

wow.

So it was just a normal evening, Andy and I watching and conversing over the Nets game, when somehow I ended up "owing him an authentic Vince Carter jersey"...not to mention an additional five dollars.

The next day, yesterday, in the cafeteria, I was accompanying Aishling to the vending machine when Miss Conlan walked over and said "hi guys, long time no see" and then Andy came over and she said "hi andy" and i was like "andy!" and andy was like "steph! you owe me a jersey" and Con was all confused and it was probably the best moment of my entire week.
