My freshman year of college will be done in less than 2 weeks. I have extreme mixed feelings about summer. But basically, am looking forward to change, and seeing faces that I've missed oh so much. Working full-time will not be that enjoyable. But good lordy lord do I need the money. Dana will be going on vacation with me and my dad's side of the family to Lake Winnepesauke for a week in July. And towards the end of August I'll be making my first trip to Disney World with Dana and his family. I'd also like to thouroughly enjoy the soon-to-be college freshmans' summer with them before they take the big leap like we did last year. Fun things! La di da!
My mum bought me a starfish necklace for Easter and I like it. Wahoo!
IMPORTANT QUESTION! Not really. Whatever. Uhh.. within the next month I'd like to make one of the following decisions:
1) Keep my current semi-straight, shorter hair (which includes trims to keep it so)
2) Grow out my semi-straight hair to see what it would look like longer and straight (seems like it would be awkward, or grungy, yes, no?)
3) Keep my shorter hair and PERM it again, resulting in a possible "v.cute short & curly" doo
FEEDBACK!FEEDBACK!FEEDBACK!PLEASE!
I need to see quite a few concerts this summer. Warped Tour is a given. I'd like to see Ani again. And Pearl Jam would be orgasmic, but it's not looking too probable. Hopefully others will arise.
Oh, also.. May 5th Reel Big Fish will be playing at UNH. Tickets are free for us students and $15 for non-students (I think?). I've been trying to find ticket information so I can purchase peoples tickets...but I can't find when they go on sale. Let me know if you're interested and I'll see what I can do.
PS- I love Trisha Nicole Simons more than you do. :) ♥
PPS- Moo.

She sat there like a photograph of someone much further away. We shared a brief bus stop on one of those in-between days. She gave me her smile and I looked underneath at the lipstick on her teeth. She asked me for a light and if I thought her hair looked okay. We grew out of small talk into stuff strangers just don't say. We discovered we are both pleasantly furious half of the time, when we're not just toeing the line. We sat underneath the shelter as the rain came down outside. The bench was cold against the underside of our thighs. I said, "I think we need new responses. Each question's a revolving door". And she said, "Yeah, my life may not be something special but it's never been lived before". We decided our urgency will wane when we grow old and there will be a new generation of anger and new stories to be told. But I said, "I don't know if I can wait for that peace to be mine" and she said, "Well, you know, we've been waiting for this bus for an awfully long time".
If you asked me how I am I'd say, "I just am". I can't tell whether I'm good or bad, okay or miserable. There are things I'm looking forward to and things I'm dreading. I don't have much to say.
Nick turned 16
Jeff turned 21
My parents & grandmother spent a week in California
Dana, Marie and I went to the beach last Friday night. It was cold, but needed. A very nice weekend at home, indeed. 10 more days until Easter- I'll be home the whole weekend. Not too much longer until school is done. Not sure how I feel about that quite yet.
If I even want to say anything in this entry, I'll say "Listen to The Smiths".
You'll enjoy yourself greatly.
Love and things. ♥

Mike came up to visit everyone at UNH this weekend. I'm so glad to have him back here again.
This morning Dana, Kyle, Nicole and I joined Mike in a trip to Dunkin Donuts before he had to move his car to visitor parking. We climb back in the car after purchasing some very cold coolatas and iced coffees and the car won't start. Mind you it's snowing like currazy and cold outside. Luckily Sawyer picked us up in his $40,000 Ford Explorer. SawyerFace is so nice.
Marie, her friend heather from school, and Joey are coming to spend the night in Nicole and I's room. VERY HAPPY about that! I'll get to see them after I get back from the UNH hockey game tonight. Hoo-Rah!
Currently I feel like I'm in a snow globe. I'm sitting at my computer, which is one foot from my little window, watching the giant snowflakes fall. Actually, some of them are going upwards, which makes me feel like I'm in a snow globe. Cool.
Also, listen to Postal Service. Now. It's putting me in a great mood. Among other things.
PS-Dana (Schaaf) and Ryan are coming on Sunday to see Into The Woods and hang out for awhile. This is me smiling!
Have a great Saturday, everyone.
Especially Trisha, who I can't stop thinking about.
Love to all!

I'm petrified to be in a car now.
Especially on a highway.
Especially in non-dry weather.
No joke.
Others and I visited Kat at Colby and saw Matisyahu.
AMAZING!
I live in Williamson 525 with Nicole and am OH SO SO SO SOOOOOO PLEASED!
I saw 42nd Street this past Friday, and although I missed a few important faces (that of which went to the Saturday night show *sigh*) I got to see a lot of people I love and miss dearly.
My Spring break is March 11th-19th, folks! Keep that in mind.
Currently, I'm in a good mood.
But I'd really like to hear from my friends from G-Town.

So I haven't updated in about 6 trillion years, what're you gunna do about it??
Winter break was excellent, except for missing Dana, working full-time, and sitting around the house all day. But I did get to see all of my friends...a whole bunch. I had an excellent Christmas, and New Years- which was spent at my lovely Marie's house. And I got to see Dana every weekend. As some people know, I got into a car accident on the last day of vacation. I was on my home from Dana's, about to pack and head back to school, and I spun out of control on the highway, hitting another car. The lady was taken away in an ambulance and I only had back/neck/head pain for about 3 days. What a horrible experience. All in slow-motion too. There were many tears, but at least everyone is alive. I came back to school the next day, greeted by gorgeous pink lillies (my favorite) from Dana, Nicole, Molly, Jerry, Ethan, and Kathleen because of my accident. Love you guys.
Kat came to visit last week. We went to Portsmouth and ate at the Rusty Hammer with Nicole, Dana, Ethan, and Curtis- who was also visiting. Stopped in Bull Moose Music too and finally got- Educated Guess by Ani and Vitalogy by Pearl Jam. Twas a lovely weekend.
So school has been great, except for the whole rooming situation. I love my classes- Finite Math (decent, I mean), Humanities: Sex and Love in Literature and Philosophy, Italian, and Sculpture (with Nicole!). A good schedule too. But what could make life at UNH even better?
HEARING FROM MY HALL DIRECTOR TODAY ABOUT OPEN-DOUBLES!!!! NICOLE AND I ARE MOVING IN TOGETHER ON THE FIFTH FLOOR OF WILLIAMSON BY NEXT WEEK!!!!!!!! :) There aren't enough exclamation points in the universe to explain how happy I am. Sigh. I CANNOT WAIT!!
LoveLoveLove to everyone. I'll try and update more. Which will be quite possible now that I'll actually want to be in my room and go on my computer.
I miss Marie.♥
YUM.

How does it feel to know you're everything I need
The butterflies in my stomach
They could bring me to my knees
How does it feel to know you're everything I want
Pack your things we can leave today
Say our goodbyes and get on the train
Say goodbye
Just you and I in the sweet unknown
We can just call each other our home
If I had to choose a way to die
It'd be with you
In a goosebump infested embrace
With my overanxious hands cupping your face
In a goosebump infested embrace

Writing papers until 3 in the morning shall happen no more. Well, until second semester that is. But I'm looking forward to a month off from school and chaos and homework and just...a whole lot of LAME. Second semester will be so much better as long as NICOLE IS MY ROOMMATE! After today's astronomy final, Nicole and I wandered around campus for 2 hours trying to find information about our housing situation. Funny how no one knows anything. Way to be on top of things, University. BOO!
Dana just made me "Bowl-Appetit!" maccaroni...
Dana: You try it yet?
Me: Too hot...it's getting thick.
Dana: You're thick.
The "you're___" jokes live on. You're welcome! Hah...reminds me of Marie. All of my friends actually.
Oh, speaking of Marie...I MISSED YOU TODAY! SO MUCH. I was whining even. ♥ Too long away from you, Pookie!
One more final on Friday.
Dana's family christmas party on Saturday.
Home on Sunday. I'll be around, perhaps watching the game at my house with Dana. Christmas shopping? Anyone wanna come? Not a huge thing, just a few things.
PS- I have 1.89 Liters of orange juice.
THE END!

I just came to the realization that my kitten, Burl, is actual Puss-In-Boots from Shrek. I'm not even kidding. He's sitting on my lap, looking up at me with these huge sad eyes, pawing my face. If you haven't had the pleasure of seeing him yet, I'll try and put up a picture soon. You will absolutely agree that if he were to become animated, well...I'd like you to meet Puss-In-Boots, my friend. Because he's my cat!
Also, I'm bored out of my mind and miss Dana like it's my job.
Wait...that's beacuse it is!
Wishing myself good luck on my attempt at an amazing drawing final tomorrow.

I need to spend about 3-5 hours on my drawing final. And I need a huge mirror to do it. It's due on Wednesday, so I was planning on going home tomorrow to do that in Nick's room, because he has exactly the mirror I need. But no- I have to come home tonight. Eff. I'm not too happy. Whatever. Maybe my drawing will be better if I'm aggravated while I do it. Angry artists can create some nice stuff. Let's hope it's absurdly amazing. I can't really see anyone while I'm home, and don't plan on it. I'll be back at UNH tomorrow night some time.
Also, I'll be home on Sunday, the 18th, for winter break. ♥
Mark the calendars!

The Bright Eyes concert was DELIGHTFUL, as Carl would say. I loooooooved it, and Feist, one of the opening bands. And I had a much better experience at the Paladium than I did this past summer. (Fritz, Hannah, Nicole, remember?!)
Carl brought me home, and I was very excited to be there.
Wedensday- We got our new, 2 lb kitten, Burl. He's so friggen cute, I'll post a picture later. I also enjoyed some bop-it and guitar at Megan's with her, Marie and Joey. "Hyoseph, go to the moon!" That night I joined 27 of my friends at the Hooksett movie theatre to see RENT! OHHHHHHHHHHHHHLOOOOOOOOOOVE is all I can say. It was more than I expected. And seeing everyone was orgasmic.
Thursday was Thanksgiving. We ate delicious food. Then I had a delicious 3 hour nap. When I woke up, everyone had left my grandmother's house. To finish up the Turkey Festival, I watched A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving and Finding Nemo by myself and slept. Rather un-eventful, but needed.
Friday, after cat-sitting a good portion of the afternoon, a ton of us went sledding at Suzie's house, and behind New Boston Middle School. After some painful fun, we had tons of hot-chocolate at Suzie's, and took a trillion more pictures. We all went to Ryan's and piled in the hot tub. Mmmmmmmmmm. Don't forget to throw in some ping-pong, DDR, more pictures, thanksgiving sandwiches, and the first 20 minutes of The Rescuers. Then we connected with another group of G-towners, and took over Taco Bell. SO MANY PEOPLE! (I like that trend!) Some of us went to Alec's afterwards and had an intersting night. I was the only girl that slept over. Andyroo, you're my hero! WHATAGREATDAY! The whole day reminded me of this past summer. This is what I missed. This is what I need. Winter break shall be fantasmical.♥
Saturday I hung around the house. Marie and Nicole came over, and we watched like 4 episodes of My Sweet Sixteen and yelled at the snotty kids and their snotty lives, for lack of anything else to do. Thanksgiving #2 was that night at my aunt Francine's house. Yum! Got home, packed, said HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ARIEL ♥!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, and then booked it to Reading, MA to see DANA, who I missed like CURAZY! Spent the night there. And, I love Mama Arsenault, thought you should know.
Sunday, Dana and I drove to Holden, MA to see Mike! We spent the day with him, and had a lovely time! Back to Reading. Back to Goffstown. Back to UNH. Yay?
I can't explain how good it is to see everyone again. But I'm sure you all know! Extra thanks to Marie, Nicole, Megan, Joey and Andrew for making my Turkey Break so great. Deffinatelty looking forward to winter break, which is in 2.5 weeks!
This is me catching up. Why can't I update like I used to? RAWR!
Time for lunch. Ciao! :)

I'm sitting in my room, by myself, finishing up a paper and waiting.
Around 5 O'clock, Carl is picking me up at my dorm and we're heading to Worcester for the Bright Eyes concert. Afterwards, nice Carl is driving me home to Goffstown before he comes back to school for the night.
He's on his way back to UNH from home right now, and getting me in a little while. He just called and asked if I have access to a car, because his is violently shaking on the highway right now. Superb.
I really want to see Bright Eyes, and I know I'll love them once I'm there, but right now all I want to do is be home on my couch. I'd rather not drive for 2 hours in a "violently shaking" car. Uhg.
Carl, this better be a fucking good concert.
On a lighter note, I just had a frozen hazelnut latte.
And I get to see everyone tomorrow...and for the rest of the week.
PS- Tomorrow we're getting a new cat, kitten to be exact. He'll be 8 weeks old, and is currently 1.5 pounds. He's fluffy and orange with white rings and little white "marshmellow" cheeks. My dad is naming him Burl, after Burl Ives. And tomorrow, Nick and I get to cat-sit all day while my parents are working. I am ECSTATIC!

Last Friday was NICOLE R HERBERT'S BIRTHDAY! One of my best friends, EVAR! -And hopefully new ROOMIE!
*Keeping fingers crossed, join me, won't you?*
Her and Josh visited me for the day. We hung out, went shopping with Jerry, ate at Panache, and saw March of the Penguins with my friend Jilly. It was so cute/funny! Please see it! :) Anyway...tons of fun, and I'm so glad they came to visit. ♥
As for the rest of the weekend...well, I LOVE MIKE ALLEN! And even though it's not the same that he doesn't physically live at UNH anymore, that won't matter...because we'll still see him often. I'll make sure of it. "SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURE!"
This week has been absurd, BUT I stole 2 flowers, received my Bright Eyes ticekts in the mail, and have this weekend to look forward to.
Friday night I'm going to the hockey game with the men, then going home and bringing Dana! For those who hadn't heard yet....I want everyone who's at home to meet at Pizza Market for pizza when I get back around 11 pm. I wanted to do some kind of breakfast or lunch the next day, but don't really know how to organize that and for where. Any ideas? Feedback? Want in? Please let me know. I'd love to see everyone, and don't have much time...just late Friday and early Saturday.
Saturday, Dana and I are heading to Keene to see TRISHA AND ARIEL!!! I can't wait to see two of my loves. I miss them soooooooo!
Sunday morning we'll be back in Goffstown early for lunch with my family and a birthday party for my daddy.
And Dana...Dana and I? Together? Why, yes...I believe we are. :)
I have a few papers to write and an exam and a quiz...but come Tuesday, after the BRIGHT EYES concert with Carl, Thanksgiving break will commence.
Oh, lovelovelovelovelove!
This was an awkward, un-organized mess of an entry.
Deal with it, fools! :)
Love you all. ♥

Even if procrastination is my middle name, something is still keeping me alive academically. There's a light, and I can't lose sight of it now. Also, my english teacher is the fucking MAN! His name's Evan, and he's one of the nicest teachers ever. I have all these quotes from him and the class (like I used to scribble down Sophomore year, remember Trishy?) in my notebook. They'll go up soon enough. Instead of having English class tomorrow, we're going to see this famous poet, Li-Young Lee, who's coming to our school. I thought it would be kinda cool. And then Evan gave us a bunch of his work in class to read. And I love it. More quotes! Yay! It's little things like that that make me feel good. Keep scribbling, Jen- it's good for you. On a side note, I haven't really slept the past 2 days. And that's ok.
"There's nothing I can't find under there.
Voices in the trees, the missing pages
of the sea.
Everything but sleep."

Kathleen came to visit for the weekend- and it was lovely-ful! I missed my little ZoZoBean! Saturday her, Molly, Katie, Michelle (their roomate) and I went to Portsmouth. We ate at Flatbreads (Lilke the one in N. Conway! Yay!) and then shopped around at some cute stores. The weekened also had some night frisbee, junk food, Oklahoma, and Owen hunting thrown in. WHAT FUN! I LOVE KATHLEEN! ♥ :)
MARSHMELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWS! Apparently I smell like them. Who knew.
Guess who's coming to UNH next semester? NICOLE AAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNDDDDDDDDDDD ETHAN! I cannot express my GIGANTIC amounts of excitement in an LJ. So I won't. Just know...THIS IS A BIG DEAL!
I don't have drawing class tonight! And Wednesday, when I do...we get to draw NAKED PEOPLE! YAY!
I'm going to sort out my schedule for Spring classes.
Also...Joey wrote this poem before breakfast this morning. It makes me feel nostalgic. ♥
why can't it all just go back
to dodgeball and chicken patties
racing tracks and underwear
and slowly drifting summer away
on Jen's river (yeah, it's Jen's)
