slowly the pen touched paper in the guidance of the words that you write.
memories roll in of the things you once did.
and who you had shared them with.

.we live for punk with jumping parts.

.a wise man once said when he told me
one good thing about music
when it hits you, you feel no pain.
~ O.A.R. ~

still, i'm convinced that wondering what if is the worst thing there is.
so we bottled and shelved all our regrets.
let them ferment and came back to our senses.

    virginia is for virgins

    i did something mean today. i feel bad. i guess its a mean kinda day.
    i yelled at kids for being loud. at a daycamp. how bizarre is that? too wierd. i'm starting to be mean to them. i dont want to, i just can't stand when they don't listen. esp the ones that are like 11. the 5 and 9 year olds i kinda understand. but 11 and 15. come on. you're almost in high school bro. what a loser i am.

    then i played a mean joke. sorry eli. it was really amusing at the time. but now that you're not answering your phone i feel reeeeaaaallly bad. i kinda hope this is his joke to get back at me, and hes not really mad. that would be awkward. its been 3 hours and he hasn't called back. is this a trick? it was really funny though. i must admit. so right now i'm feeling halfway horrid because i think he hates me, but halfway okay cuz i'm pretty sure he didnt take it personally and hes just breakin my balls now and makin me sweat. all the same. i'm watching CMT right now cuz thats mindless music thats not too bad when you dont feel like dealing with ashlee simpson or celine dion on standard music television. theres this really wierd song on now, and theres war protests going on, but yet the song is prowar i think. its bizarre. this guy sucks. "you ain't gunna be my judge cuz my judge will judge us all one day" wtf mate? chill out bro.

    so i'm here in VA for camps. clearly amazing time. a week all expense paid trip with sarah owens. its practice for when we move in together. weeeee!
    chilled with kaitlin last night after being lost in the worst part of DC. sucked. but the beers, good music, and smokes made it almost worth it. ;o) we're supposed to go see Princess Diaries 2 tonight. but shhhhh! sarah is sleeeeeeeeeeping. teehee.

    okay. now i'm hungry. i'm waking that virgin whore up. no one gets in between me and my eats. not even the love of my vag.

    but either way. this is my song for her:

    well i'm an eight ball shootin double fisted
    drinkin son of a gun
    i wear my jeans a little tight
    just to watch the little boys come undone
    i'm here for the beer and ball busting band
    gonna get a little crazy just because i can

    you know i'm here for the party
    and i ain't leavin to they throw me out
    gonna have a little fun gonna get me some
    you know i'm here, i'm here for the party

    i may not be a ten but the boys say i clean up good
    and if i give em half a chance
    for some rowdy romance you know they would
    i've been waitin all week just to have a good time
    so bring all them cowboys and their pickup lines

    you know i'm here for the party
    and i ain't leavin to they throw me out
    gonna have a little fun gonna get me some
    you know i'm here, i'm here for the party

    don't want no purple hooter shooter just some
    jack on the rocks
    don't mind me if i start that trashy talk

    you know i'm here for the party
    and i ain't leavin to they throw me out
    gonna have a little fun gonna get me some
    you know i'm here, i'm here for the party

    ;oP

    maybe i'll wake up tomorrow

    talked to dave today. first time in a while. i miss him. even though we're probably seeing the same amount of eachother now as when i was in jersey, i miss living that close. new mission: same as old, find dave a girl. he's top priority. i thought tray bay was an excellent match. who knows what happened there. hes so shy. love him though. l o v e  h i m.

    quick step tomorrow. its the show i've been waiting for. wooo! too bad their management is poor and mom can't have anyone write an article. poop. after the party its the afterparty. weee...and thats my house folks. amped. purely amped.

    my kids' show is tomorrow too. who knew i loved kids. amazing. my job is so rewarding. its probably the only job i've ever had where i look forward to it. and there is no calling in sick so i'm forced to take it seriously.

    speaking of serious.... school starts soon. with a dueling wa wa waaaaaa and a whoo who. i got a lot of things ready for next week. a kick ass cork board for starters. i'm really proud of it. my schedule isn't as bad as i thought it would be either. it kinda rocks a little. finding time for megan will be rough though.
    ... so will the rooming situation. pray for me.

    and nello. oh nello dear. how i do love thee, but how i want to squish your head sometimes. - but i'd totally fix it right after so it would grow back - things are poopie. no one knows whos fault it is. we're italian so its the other one's fault automaticaly. "this has to be about finding a solution not blaming someone for their actions" - mom, well said. sometimes she shocks me how right she always is. i hope we find a solution soon. cuz this purgatory is killing me.

    LI this weekend. my premiere visit thats not nsync related. which is sad. not cuz i'm an nsync loser. but because its NOT for nsync. and never will be again.

    ::moment of silence for our lost ones::

    but yeah man i'm amped. PLUS i get to meet jen. i hope i haven't built her up too much. but she seems cool from what i hear.

    imisstracy. comebacktousmydear.

    i pray she doesnt go on my all too long list of missing persons. friends who you see but once a year. and talk to online to say hey whats up and thats it. i know she wont. but its kinda my biggest fear right now. my vicki is only just being redeemed from that list now. but thats really and truly scheduling conflicts. but we're closer in location now so all shall be well.

    ps. the quitters rock my face off. i highly reccommend their stuff.

    no more fights

    we've changed. as people and couples do.
    but the  fact remains that i wont give up
    i refuse.

    i made a promise to love and keep you forever. on a pinky swear, remember?our own marriage ceremony in my room.
    i hold that to its fullest extent.
    i just hope that you still do too.




    Wyclef:
    Excuse me, if you see me screamin'
    But deep in my mind, I'm only dreamin'
    Cause if I wake, girl, and you're not by my side
    I feel like happy is no longer alive
    So please, shorty, before you walk out that door, bovie
    Would you listen to my song?

    Claudette:
    If only, I give you one last chance (one last chance)
    with the devil, you can no longer pray (no)
    You got to be faithful, so we could be proveful
    Build a family, and find our own destiny
    So just, before I run to the block,papi
    I might listen to your song

    Wyclef:
    Ooh, before you walk out that door listen to me!

    Refr.: Wyclef (Claudette)
    They say two wrongs don't make it right (don't make it right)
    So if I'm wrong I don't tryin to fight
    I try to have some dinner with some candle light (yeah)
    Lay out in the bed an make love all night

    Claudette:
    So, papi, I won't leave,
    Maybe I'll just stay
    Promise me that you'll do the same

    Wyclef:
    Then I will love you like I never loved

    Claudette:
    Touch me like you never touched me

    Wyclef:
    Yo, now if you give me the chance, girl, I'm gonna show you


    Claudette (Wyclef):
    Now baby understand (I understand),
    that I'll forgive you
    I'm gonna forget, that you brought me a threat (baby,baby,baby)

    Wyclef:
    But I have grown from a thug to a man
    build my castle with bricks and no longer with sand, oh girl

    Claudette:
    And just before I run to the block, baby
    I might listen to your song

    Wyclef:
    Ow before you walk out that door, listen to me

    Refr.

    Claudette:
    I'm so used to be mad high
    can you see the sunshine no more
    I'm so used to pain that the
    no sick the fills like a cure

    Wyclef:
    but defundy you gave me the keys to your soul
    and let me in
    I'm gonna love you


    Over(over), and over(over)again


    Wyclef (Claudette):
    Yo, now if you give me the chance, girl, I'm gonna show you (show me)
    ooh (yeah)
    I ain't gonna stay on the block no more.
    I come home early girl, I promise (yeah)

    here

    hi.

    its been a while.

    tracy graduated today. nicole and i decorated her car. it was hot . and by hot, i mean trash. i feel bad for nicole cuz she had to drive it to graduation for tray to drive home. however, this is coming from thee girl who drove through camden today with "VAG" and "VAG Princess" written on her back windows (we got carried away).



    i miss texas. as complicated as it was this year. i wish i could have watched more Willy Wonka with Tyler. spent more time outside at the pool. Conquered Disc Golf with Matt. Hung out with Stephen the day after the party so my flipout could be explained in person with smiles and hugs instead of drunken phone calls and IMs. i wish i could have watched more MacGyver with Jordan, or at least hung out. Next time i have to spread my time instead of devoting it to Jay directly. Don't get me wrong, i love my Jay. But i don't like the fact that by the end of our  trips theres so much tension we want to kill eachother.

    silly silly.



    i need to shower. B.A.T. kicked my ass today. it felt good to get all this shit out. writing it and working out with it on my mind.
    maybe its true, music and physical activity stimulates the brain.

    pps




    i love the track tyler sent me. its a fantastic chill out and clear your mind song. its my favorite. its very simple. not complex, basic plucking of string in an unformed pattern, but its so beautiful... the ocean sounds are killer by  the way. maybe its this wonderful to me because its from tyler and it reminds me of texas. reminds me of fun times we had, and fun times to be.

    i can't wait for this summer. when its 1,000 degrees and i'm maxin and relaxin with my boys. my true boys. the boys who have seen and heard it all. the ones i can trust not to say a word.. mostly because they don't know any of my friends. but i can't see them narcing on me to anyone.

    i wish nello knew them. i wish he could come with me. he knows jay, but its not the same without the rest of the atmosphere... plus i was a bitch when jay was here. which i feel SOOO bad about. i'll probabaly continue to apologize to him until the end of my days.


    i miss my texans.

    i need a nail file

    my favorite thing in the world is when you find out someone is untrustworthy. then you know to avoid that person at all costs. the unfortunate part of this revolution is that you must be betrayed in someway in order to obtain the information. and it hurts, a lot. and its all you can really think about for the next day or so. reviewing conversations rapidly in your mind. scrounging for every thought you've ever blurted about someone else or yourself to this person. because you know, that somewhere, someone else knows these thoughts. someone you probably don't know, or don't like, or don't like them to know.

    it hurts. .i trusted. again. and i got burned. like it wasn't hard enough for me to face my biggest fear of letting people that far into my life where they were around for more then a few months. most of the time i release people of their friendly duties so i don't have to open myself up. so i can keep my mystique. but you. you got to me. from the first moment you grabbed my soul and wouldn't let go. only now, after over a year, my picture of my beautiful guardian angel is beginning to diminish.

    the great part is i found out now. now before i you in any further. before i gave you information to destroy me, and our friendship. it is damaged, i'm not saying its not. but not ruined. unfortunatly i love you too much. and i can forgive this one time. but i dont think i can take another disappointment from you. neither can anyone else. you're hurting all who love you. .all who are close. i wish you would look around and see things as they are, and not through your twisted spoiled mind.

    and believe in the things you say. not just let words flow like blood from a cut artery. but really mean it.

    thats the other shitty thing  about knowing you can't trust someone. .not only can you never tell them or confide in them again. but you can never believe a word they  say either. every word of empowerment, of modivation, sorrow or joy, i must discard. i must take them now with a grain of salt. instead of putting all of me into those few words.

    the good part is, i know the insults are only halfhearted too now. at least i have that to hold on to. surprisingly that is whats keeping me from never talking to you again.

    i feel so empty. so alone.

    but at least i know i'm not the only one going through this feeling.  this unsureness of friendship. i know that three other girls go through the same thing each time.

    what would i do without my fairy, my snorter, and my emo rocker?




    and ps  dickwad. i didn't see my cousin because she was in fucking england. maybe you should find out all the facts before you spit your insults so quickly. and as for nello and i. i hate your bay more then you could ever dislike mine. .but never say an unkind word. i expect the silence from you. its not all about  you asshole.

    all you need is love

    hi. been a while eh? hair and work have me crazed. i can't think. i didnt go to work today. mom called and said "if shes going in, shes not speaking." somehow my boss understood my mom, but when i say things like that to her its a blank stare.. must be a secret mother code or something.

    hair opens today. .fiiiiierce.the band sounds great. i can't believe we only just started rehearsing with them. i almost started a fire when i tripped over the piano lamp and the lightbulb broke. ah well, its only the walt whitman center. and i wasnt the only one to do it. just the first. copy cats.

    kerry comes home saturday. not in time to see my show. .bitch. juuuust kidding. i'm so happy she's coming back. theres so much i want to tell her. and so much i want to hear. i miss her less and less cuz i know she'll be here soon. but it will feel vacant when i dont see her in the audience.


    eaglesys3: hahaa...buffalo butt-breath <---best line ever in the history of movies, possibly

    i talked to neil last night. hes one fun dude. we quoted sandlot. which ps is the best movie of all time. .i wish you still talked to him. i think you wish the same.

    i'm so lazy. i dont even feel likedoing this.  i want to lounge around and do things i cant normally. like watch Full  House (best tv show ever) and wash the bra i've been wearing as my costume for 4 days straight. it smells soooo rank dude.

    i'm off to do  nothing. .and celebrate in my nothingness.

    ta ta for now.

    so the viewing was the other night. .we all wore pink to honor not really to mourn. we mourn her passing for us, but celebrate it for her. we had catered food, wine, the whole bang. nello came. which i really appreciate cuz i saw how uncomfortable he was there.

    i think all this beads, flower, happiness buisness is going to my head. i accepted things that had burned me so deeply i never thought the pain would end. i let it go. i let it all go. its not worth it. .theres to much love in me to be clouded with bitter hate.

    to bear: "men have amino acid stored in their penis, thats why they're so evil, it eats at their insides" ~ dharma and greg
    i thought you might enjoy that. 10 days.

    8 days til the show opens. its starting to scare us all. i dont think its truly hit a few people that its a real live show in 8 days. and they dont get yet what we're here for. or that we're all pushing our lives aside, they should at least try to do the same.
    good news is, my voice has never felt more healthy. i'm never tired, i keep hydrated. .its good news all around.
    bad news: "aint got no" is on top of someones shoulders.. if it werent for kegels i would have fallen off by now. ;o)

    i love my tribe more and more everyday. i talked to courtney for the first time today. first real conversation. she intrigues me. i want to get to know her better.
    jenn, my party girl - hell will hit the dorms next semester. you can count on that.
    skylar, tracey and sarah - you are sent from heaven. who knows what i'd do without you. you keep my sanity.
    kj - the lighting booth was never such a pleasure to look at. i need a hug though, i havent gotten on in like two days! good luck in the world series.
    adam - um. thanks for you. you've done it again. you amaze me. and you know that.
    to the rest of you - if you're as geeky as i am and you read this anyway - you're all so talented and so beautiful. .we all got some booty on us now lets shake it and shake it without books in our hands. ;o) we're gunna be great. i can feel it.

    .we're finally a tribe.
    now lets get our shit together

    *bless you. alcohol bloodstream*

    well. the first thanksgiving and full day without grammy has come and gone. "another holiday gone," as she would say, almost as permission to bring on the next. she was old. and it was her time. but i'm still selfish and want her back. years ago grandma gave me a ring that grammy used to wear all the time, i found it when i got home and placed it on my finger immediatly. it makes me feel a little better.

    my family grieves so strangely. the smallest thing is fought with such intensity. what wine to drink, who prepares what dish, and who helps out the most all become topic for argument. .. if i wasnt there i'd miss it though.

    i wish kerry was here. i wanted nothing more but to split another bottle of wine with she and gina after the parents went to bed. she belongs here. i wish i could hold her and help her as she helps me. and then gina would call us morons and all would be right with the world. 16 days.

    i feel a little empty. but she was 101. she died 2 days after her birthday. she made it that far. and she made it that far for me. i know that. even if she didnt remember why she was holding on that long. i remembered our promise from years ago. i knew in my heart she would honor it. thats why i had to go see her in the hospital. i wanted to see her before she left me. left all of us.

    the service is saturday. the teddy bear i bought her is going in the casket. i felt special when i was told that. i feel bad now making mom pay me back for it. .maybe i'll give her the money back.but it really was something from all of us, it was just from my store and i picked it out. things will work themselves out.

    i'm supposed to work tomorrow. i dont want to. i wont want to saturday either. i just want to go shopping and lay in nellos arms tomorrow. i wonder if he knows how deep my love runs for him. i can't even fathom it sometimes. only another week til the two year hit. i'm excited. i have rehearsal that day. bummer.

    time to go. sleep. .or shower. or read. i dont feel like thinking or functioning.
