The fall of 2004

Everyone check their emails for my address and phone number for the fall of 2004 and spring of 2005. I forgot to add... the town in Charleston, IL. In case you didn't know.
I also know who my roommate is. Her name is Kirby and she's from Woodridge, which is a suburb of Chicago I think... or a village about the size of Godfrey around Chi-town. I have not contacted her yet, but yeah.

I still read

I admit i havent read the blogger in a while cause i havent been at school. so i hope you get your job back (if you want it). the summer has been good so far but if Mitch was living here it would be great. Iam really thinking about getting another job so i could afford to move into a apt with him. The other job will be at Save a lot with Kevin Bagle only working about 10-15 hours a week. My mother dosen't want me to do that at all. But i think mitch living here is that important to me. He is cool kid and he fits in well with all my friends (i wish i knew him in high school) The one thing i dont like is all my (girl) friend think he is hot and i hear about it all the time!! It is something i can get over it. this summer has so much promis i wish that the summer will go good for me and everybody else.

DAVE IS ONLY 27 DAY AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
P.S. If anybody want to do something all you do is give me a call. You know the number.

If anybody reads this over the summer...

I am sitting at home and very bored. Sometimes having a lot of free time isn't that fun after all.
I called the Bakery today to try and ask about my old job. I really would rather not work there this summer but I may need the money. I don't think Karl wants me anyways, I called him today and he was busy and hasn't called me back. Better for me, I can decide if I really want to go back.
So far this summer, I have been spending most of my leisure time with Diane, Cory, Mitch and Jen. Also, Andy. We went to the City Museus this weekend. I am bruised up like a sonofabiotch, but it was all worth it.
Last night, Cory, Jen and I went to Mitch's and saw Big Fish.

IF U HAVEN'T SEEN IT, I highly recommend it.

Hey I have an idea.... gee I hope someone reads this at least or this next post will be worthless....

Wowie, wow, wow, wow

Blogger is different now. How strange, but likeable.

I'm home now, and it's not that interesting. But I did just get home so let's practice some patience.

My "Last One" in Cougar

I had a the best last night at SIUE.

Thomas, Beth, Diane, Megan, Amy and Adam came to play sand volleyball, and Dan met us down there. Thomas bought me some McDonald's :) for passing my sophomore year in college hehe.

Later, Brennan and Amber came and played too, and Brennan left but came back later. When Thomas, Beth, Amy and Adam left, Mitch and Cory showed up, equipped with Sam Adams and Rolling Rock- free for the ladies :) (the low carb version of course ;)) We played some sand volleyball and went back to the apartment, cleaned up a little, and played a little @$$hole. Rachel Lowe was there when I got back to the apartment also.

When Mitch, Cory, Diane and Megan left, I was not ready for bed so I called Brennan to see if he was still over there. I went to Dan's and we went to Brennan's on the 400 side to hang out and have a little wine. By 5 am, I went with Dan on a short drive to do his rounds..... and look for a microwave for his apt. The sun was about to come up, but I was about to fall asleep, and I laid down until 9:30, when I got up to clean.

And then I left SIUE, never to return as a student again. Great night, good way to end it.

"The Last One"- I feel like a good friend has just died

I know a few of you saw the very last episode of Friends ever last night. What did everybody think?? I already knew what was going to happen in advance. I cheated. I went online and searched for Season 10 spoilers. I have no life. It was better to watch it, thats for damn sure.

So Rachel and Ross eh? It's my dream come true!!!! You just know everybody has been pulling for them since Season 1. I want a Ross :( I know, its make believe.

But if you think about it, it's hard to let Friends go. Even though Emily has the DVDs, and there are 3 seasons more to come out on DVD..... and I know re-runs will still be on.... It's just that this show has been on since we were 10 years old!!!! We are now 20. A huge chunk of our lives was during a time when Friends was a staple of pop culture.

I don't know anyone who is a true fan of the show that did not cry last night. Emily and I included.

We'll miss you Phoebe, Monica, Rachel, Ross and Chandler. We still get to see Joey. Let's just hope that Joey, the spinoff, does not flop.

My last day and I'm all alone

Sorry, I know I've been talking about leaving this place so much recently, but seriously, its the ned of an era.

I'm all packed up, for the most part, and lots of people are already gone. Erika left this morning but will be back later for her couches and some more stuff. Kate ran home last night to take a load of stuff home and has not returned. I'm all alone, with no TV, no one is online, and I'm lonely.

I am looking forward to tonight though. I cleaned the apartment a bit, and people are coming to play sand volleyball. I told a lot of people 6:00, and a lot of other people said they can't make it until later. So the way I view it, I have two waves of people wanting to play sand volleyball, which means endless fun for me. I'll let u know how that goes if you don't show up.

Just venting

The other day i went on a rambling bender, but i was just venting. I haven't seen that mickey kid since and i have had time to think about it. I still not going to take shit from him i will just make him throw the first punch so it won't be my problem.

Yes, think god that LCCC is coming to an end. All my friends are coming home (some for longer that others DIANE). The fact that i almost done is great. Then SIUC, the main problem is i will be 21, well would you call that a problem????

Man i just started thinking about it 21. It sounds so old, it feel like just yesterday we were in the pit playing hackey sack. now before i know it i will be able to go drinking with my mother!(you know i going to, but i don't know if i could deal with guy hitting on her) (So, Should i stay or should i go- The Clash) I have wanted to be 21 for so long and now it is so close. Will it be that great?

What am i thinking i will be the best time of my life!!!!!

Bye Bye Macomb

I hate to say it but I am going to miss this place. When I first got here WIU was all I could talk about. I remember coming home for the first time Labor Day Weekend and sporting Western everything. (I know some of you got sick and tired of me talking about the place too.) Well this past year hasn't been the best. Something changed. Starting second semester I was so sick of this place! So I decided to move to Texas. Some people have thought oh what a stupid idea but you know what? I have the chance and I'm not going to pass it up. There could be something for me there!
Yesterday I moved out two of my favorite guys on the floor, Billy and Collin. When a bunch of us walked them to their cars guess who starting crying? Me of course! All at once so many flashbacks of drunken good times and just times we chilled rushed through my head. I couldn't help myself. Then I went to visit my floor from last year and as V walked me out I started to cry again making her cry.
Today, I am moving out along with almost everyone on the floor. I basically said good bye to the people that I will miss but there are still a few that will make me cry. I will not have any time to live over or party with these guys again probably. Except for Bill and Nick b/c they will be in STL next weekend, hopefully. So as I pack I can't help but hold back tears. Now my throat and chest hurts. I will miss this place so much and i'm not even gone! Well, not the school but the friends I made.
I don't get it...I don't like change but I do it so much. I change so many things in my life and I don't know how I can keep doing it. If leaving here after 2 years is hard what am I going to do when I leave for Texas?

It wasn't all bad of course.

And now for things I liked about SIUE.

1. Jennifer, someone that no one would have paired me with in high school, lived with me for one semester. And it was fun. We fooled everyone didn't we Jen?

2. Sand Volleyball, which takes up most of my spare time when I'm lucky, must be the most fun I've had in awhile.

3. My bed. It may be small but it sure is comfy. For some reason, I enjoy the closed-in space.

4. AKL Informal. Ryan may not have been the best boyfriend, but that night was one of the funnest nights of my life, and I'll never forget it.

5. Bad Bands in the Goshen. When it's boring at C & I, you can be sure there's some off the wall band playing in the Goshen that day to keep you awake. Yay guy who plays Dave songs.

6. Hot foreign guy. I don't know who he is but he's gorgeous, and he makes bus rides a joy.

7. Cougar Village. It's nice to have an entire apartment to manuever in. And the atmosphere is nice too (butt-print window guy, and random people walking around constantly)

8. Woodland Hall. The Wood. My first on-campus home.

9. Ashley. Another unlikely match, we got along quite well. Unfortunately we didn't become buddies until it was almost too late. Good news tho, she'll be at Eastern with me!

10. Dan and Phil. My fave two guys from the Wood. These two studs have to be two of my favorite people I've met here. Although I don't see Phil much anymore, I hope I can at least catch him to say goodbye. And Dan, hopefully I will see sometime over the summer.

11. Blue phlox patch on the path. I found a flower next to the Alpha House while walking home from class one day. It made me happy.

12. Raquetball at the VC. Enough said.

13. David and Justin. Too bad I didn't hang out with the guys upstairs more. I'll sure miss them.

14. Classical Mythology. Sad that I'm putting a class on here, but it really was right up my alley.

15. The heads sculpture. It's not gone folks, its hiding behind the art building.

and finally.....
the last reason I liked SIUE, yet one of the reasons I want to leave it:

16. Close proximity to home.

Whut I Lerned at SIU Extenshun

HELL YES. I AM DONE WITH SCHOOL. Of course, I have one more day left at C & I, but that's small compared to the fact that I am done with school. So, I'm making the best of what's left for me here at SIUE. Tonight, I played sand volleyball with Dan, Brennan, Amber, and Mo..... my volleyball buddies. Then we ran to Moto Mart for fountain sodas, we are so fun! Well, I think we are, and I really enjoyed myself.

I got to thinking. I know that its useless to wish you had done something when you just didn't- but I can't help but think. Could SIUE been a little better if I had done some things differently? It's true, you do learn from your mistakes, and here's what I learned, and what I'm taking to Eastern with me next year.

*Be careful who you date. You might later find out that you blocked the wrong people out, and let the wrong ones in. Hind sight is a pain in the ass.

*Don't meet all your friends through someone you already know. Her friends may not be the people you like to hang out with the most, and before you know it, you haven't met anyone but them. You and your friend aren't the same, and you might be able to pick your own friends a little better if you tried.

*Just because someone is your best friend one year, doesn't mean you're her top priority the next year. You can't compete with a penis. Stop trying, and let it go.

*Your friends from high school may really stay your best friends. Worked for me.

*Everything takes effort. Some people are not willing to give that effort just because you are. They suck, and they're not worth the struggle.

*You really can do anything you want if you put your mind to it. I always thought it was bullshit but look at me, I went from 4 year SIUE student to moving to EIU in 2004.

*Some people, no matter how hard you try, just won't get along with you. That's their personality; there's nothing you can do. It's harder picking roommates than one would think. Better luck going with the random roomie.

Damn SIUE Worm runs my mood

I got a virus on my computer. Unlike regular people, I have a certain dependency on the internet, mainly AIM, because I keep in touch with everybody via it. But NOW my computer has a virus and will not stay running. It likes to restart itself a lot. So I am in the commons for awhile bullshitting with you people until I am ready to give in to those final exams I have coming up.

Cory, its gonna be okay. Like Diane said, all your fave people, and mine, are coming home soon!! (and oh hey- me too. and instead of being 30 minutes away I will be a mere 5, and you know thats nice.)

Everyone good luck on finals and I'll see you sooner if not later. And I'll talk to you soon if the tech people get on the job tomorrow.

we like r rated language here, but not x, cory

i had to edit your post. you shoudln't use last names, b/c emily pointed out they can be found on google and whatnot if you try hard enough. also, i dont want to get in trouble, so use asterisks to bleep yourselves out

Don't drop the bomb b/c you might drop the soap!!!

Omg, Cory is crazy!!! J/K. Everyone has days and weeks like those, but for girls we get off easy and get to use a term for it...PMS. If any girl tells someone they are PMSing everyone understands! No one realizes that guys have PMS too.

Then there are just those time when everything sucks and life is too hard and stressful. "Twenty three and so tired of life"-DMB(Dancing Nancies). Even Dave went through it! Don't worry, it'll all pass.

Don't beat that kid up! You could go to jail! I don't want to worry about you not dropping the soap!

There is a bright side....Me, Mitch, and Andy are coming home!!

What the f*ck!!!!!!

I'm tired of everything the Cancer,school, most of the people at school, the radio station, and Peter (my journalism teacher). I want it all to stop, when school is done i will sit in my room for a week and do nothing. I feel like i'm going to blow up and just beat the shit out of the first person that pisses me off. By the looks of it the luckey winner will be Mikey (a radio kid & the bass player in nolan's band). He is such a huge fag he is asking for it. The next time he mouths at me or says anything that i don't like i will just f*ck his day up. I don't see him for a couple of days so that (beep) is fine for now. Today in class he said some choice words to me and the more i think about it the more pissed off i get. The fact is the comments were uncalled for and complety out of line. I not going to let this little (beep) say anything about me or my friends anymore. I not going to think twice about beating the shit out of him.
Now, i'm at the radio station and the mouse for the station computer suck (beep) i cant win!!!!!! What the f*ck is everybody's life like this?

Porn and chicken

Ben Folds and Rufus Wainright...f**kin right! Guster's awesome too. I don't know if I'll have the money to go though. I don't have a job for summer yet. If anyone knows of any place that is hiring let me know!!

WIU...sniff...sniff

Ok so this weekend made me realize that I am going to miss the people at WIU. This weekend was so awesome b/c everyone went out of their way to make sure my last weekend here was unforgetable. Friday night we went to the bars then a house party. At the bars we watched Collin beat the pants off guys playing pool. He is a pool shark for sure. When we were walking to the party I passed these guys and they were like wow she hot, blah blah blah. Then we walked the opposite way and one of the guys hollered, "if i never see you again, i love you." That cracked me up. When I got back to the dorms I dipped! It was actually pretty good. I kind of like it!
Saturday night we went to the bars again and my whole floor was there. There are only a few things I can remember. In the beginning of the night, I got married (not for real though). Nick, from my floor, decided that we should get married b/c our favorite band is NIRVANA, our favorite hockey team is the blues, our favorite baseball team is the cardinals, and our favorite beer is bud light. I mean come on...this guy is me but a guy! At the end of the night Billy and Rick decided to have a jam session after the bar and I was their guest of honor. Every song was about me! I can't remember the middle though:) I was sick the entire time but I wasn't going to let a cold ruin my last time to get drunk at WIU!!

GUSTER concert

If you people don't know Guster, I suggest you do some downloading. They are coming to St. Louis in June and I want to go if I can find someone who also wants to. Here's the info:

OH AND CHECK OUT to learn about the band guster.com
.......P.S. (They have a song called Diane. wink wink, Diane)

Colds suck

Jen the site is www.forwardgarden.com.

I'm in the same boat with Laura! I am totally sick but I am starting to feel better b/c I have been taking lots of cold stuff so I am going to go out!!

What a way to spend the day.

I haven't been on here to post in awhile. By that I mean I have not been posting as often as usual. So, it's my last full weekend here at school and I'm sick. So I'm staying home. Thinking about maybe renting a movie and working on some study guides for finals. Also I have to work 9-5 tomorrow so I thought it'd be best to take a load off and do nothing.

Sorry Jen and Em. I did want to go to my last AKL party, but on the bright side, they're never ALL THAT much fun anyways.

I smell like poo?

Why didn't anybody tell me! you could of said "hay, you smell like poo" that wouldn't bother me but to find out like this. I would of told you. I haved to go and take a long over due shower.

Who does that???

Ok so yes, I didn't recognize Fab. When we walked by him I didn't even look at his face. I saw the hair and was like pshhhh...I'm so dumb! I would give anything to go back and pay attention to "the help." As bummed as I was I couldn't let it ruin my time at the concert and it didn't. They kicked butt!!!!

Is that the drummer from the Strokes???

So Mitch sees this guy walk off the tour bus with drumsticks. He says, "hey, is that the drummer from the Strokes?" Diane replies, "NO, its not." Laura reasons that since the guy has short hair, he CAN'T be a member of the Strokes.... that's kinda like their trademark.

So we walk in. Wait for the concert to start.

Mitch sees the same drumsticks sitting at the drums. The person I thought was "help" kind of like a roadie, walks onstage with the rest of the band.

Julian announces, "hey everyone, Fab got a haircut."

"I was a scared little kid, and the thing I was most scared of was Kool-Aid. Remember the commercials for Kool-Aid? That big talking bowl of punch comes crashing through your wall... OH YEAHHH!!! OHHH YEAHHHH!!!! And all the little kids on the commerical are like, "Haaa haa haaaa!" And I'm in my living room, like "RUNNN! GET THE FUNK OUTTA THERE!" And they are drinking out of him after he crashed through the wall and asbestos and lead paint fell in him."-DANE COOK

Why do they call it a rest room? Is anybody really just going in there to rest? And, who is so pissed off when they go into the restroom that they have to carve the most ignorant crap into the walls?

I have no life...

Jon is funny!! How in the world did Chad get any action!?!? How trashed was this girl??? Or how fat was she???

You go girl

Seems like you are getting all the hotties, well done well done. Props to laura, props. Well ill update people on my joyous weekend. Friday nite we all stayed in and had a drinking contest with the lovely ladies on the floor, needless to say, we won. After finishing that we decided to play some 3 in the morning drunk hockey with no lights outside. Domination was on my side, eventhough i nearly killed myself a few times. Saturday nite we stayed in again and drank, played over 4 hours of beer pong and had a little incident with the fire extinguisher. Today we played a good amount of hockey, where again, i could not be stopped. All and all it was a good weekend, hope everyones was as well

Bad Boys, Bad Boys

Oh shoot I forgot. The party Cory and I went to got busted. NO one got in trouble, but the band was loud and there were complaints. When the cops came, things were winding down so they let us be. Later, some people were outside playing kickball, and a cop drove by and got on his loudspeaker saying:

...."whatcha gonna do when they come for you?"

Needless to say, it was funny as hell for me cuz I was sober, and inside... but I'm sure the drunks outside got quite a scare, and a laugh also. Ask Cory.

Therapist

Chad Stutz got laid and by the sounds of it legally. What is the world coming too?

Stuck on Third, and a wierd coincidence

SATURDAY- I had a meeting at work. I went to eat at Golden Corral with the parents. Then Cory came over and I drove to a party at the house of some people Cory knows. WIERD thing--- the people who live there... Cory Dack, a good friend of Alison's, and Erin McCann, another good friend of Alison's. Come to find out, Alex and Kate are supposed to come out, and Ben Harris. Well Kate didn't come, she had papers to write, but Alex and Ben did. Also- Bill Brooks and Chad Stutz came. Some chick kept hitting on Chad and I think they did it, out in her car. Whoa. It was nice to see Bill and to meet all of Cory's friends that were there. And the band that played, Stuck on Third, was not too shabby either.

I CAN get a hot guy to go on a date with me.

On Friday, I had a date!! Woohoo, go me. I donno if you all remember my friend David, -AKA- hot guy upstairs. Well, I had a huge thing for him at the beginning of the year when I started to date Ryan. But since Ryan showed more interest, even though David and I talked a lot more and all that, I went for Ryan. I don't regret that, things just happen- lets face it. Well anyways- not long after Ryan and I broke up, I had called David to ask him to a movie (and now you see how much I have changed. I can now meet a hot guy and ask him on a date, or maybe I'm just comfortable with David, who knows?) Anyways, he said he would go if he got done with a good lot of his homework. He called me that day to tell me that he still had a lot of stuff to do, so he would have to take a raincheck. So I'm thinking, "okay, this guy I've liked is exactly like Ryan- he doesn't want to go, and he's blowing me off, in what he thinks is the nicest way possible." I decided to not worry about it though and just not care if I saw him again before the year's over...we never talk much anymore anyways. SO- I never make long stories short but here's the end. He called me Friday evening saying that he remembered that he owed me a movie and would like to take me out if that was ok with me. I said yes, duh. We went to go see the Punisher. Good movie I thought. I wasn't sure if it was a date or just a friends thing, but then he paid for me and opened my doors and stuff, what a stud. He's so nice. We had a good time I think, but nothing will happen because I think maybe we get along so well, we are better friends right now. It amazes me that I said that, judging by how I felt at the beginning of the year, but thats really all I want from anyone right now I think. Also, I kind of have this thing where I know its pointless to get excited or try to start anything with someone from SIUE. After all, he lives about 45 minutes from EIU, I live 30 minutes from SIUE, so in the summer he'll be there and I'll be here- and in the fall we'll switch places pretty much.

Does Wayne Brady have to choke a bi*ch?

Nobody is writing on here anymore, but I'll still tell you how my weekend went anyway!

Friday-I didn't do anything but go to the apt with Jake and chill. No drinking or anything!
Saturday-I wasn't going to go out b/c my throat was hurting but i decided but i better make these last few days count so I went out with Bill on my floor. We went to the bars and met up with the rest of the guys on my floor. When I was bustin' a move on the dance floor, I saw Black Brandon(I think only Laura has had the privledge of meeting him) and I danced with him. This is really funny b/c Brandon is kind of weird. His voice is really high like mickey mouse and he st...st...stutters. He's had a huge crush on me forever and even gave me something for v-day this year. He is a very sweet guy but just a little on the odd side!

THE STROKES ON TUESDAY BIATCHES!!!

Did Floyd mean to do that?? hhmmm...

Dude me and my mom did that one time! Of course we dropped some acid before to give it a little more effect! Its totally awesome! The music and the movie totally go together.

P.S.-I'm kidding about the dropping acid part with my mom. If you thought I was for real you have to be retarted! Who does that?

Dark Side of the Rainbow

Tonight, Emily, Steve and I went to the Science Building at 9:00 to attend "Dark Side of the Rainbow." The AKLs sponsored a showing of the Wizard of Oz with Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon playing in the background. It was trippy for sure. Kind of eerie even. But enjoyable. And now I think I have learned to appreciate the album a little bit more, and I'm proud to say I no longer hate Pink Floyd. They're not shabby. A lil wierd, not shabby. Thinkin of u Diane, your fave movie :)

ARGH HATE SCHOOL

Sorry I haven't written in awhile. I've been bogged down with my semester paper that is NOW DONE... and also a big Copy Editing project (and my teacher is anal so I work forever on that sh*t) GTG that class is starting.

She found a dildo and some lube so she went to town. After she was done she thought where did this dildo come from, Who put it there. Suddenly something on the woods........

School suck

their once was a man who lived in a shoe and the man said "who needs school." Well the docter looked at he and said "i went to school and look at me" The man thought for a long while and said "just you live in a boot dosn't make you better that me."
THINK ABOUT IT
School is good but if you dont put it to good use you could live in a boot or shoe.

The weekend is almost over......

Well my weekend was spent working in my yard....but during the night I went mini golfing w/steve and lala Friday night. Then saturday night we all went and watched local bands play at the red spoon. Overall my weekend was pretty kick ass,,,despite the leg and back pain from all the labor... Newho,,we cleared more area for the patio, ie dug up a sh*t ton of rocks. I planted a bunch of bushes in the front and re-planted tulips around a tree in the back. Steve planted flowers in the flower box on the side of the garage. And the BEST PART yet, would be ~ We bought the swimming pool...which is actually filling up in the back yard right now :) .... YAY!!!! So we got a ton of stuff done this weekend,,,except for the 30 annotations i have to write for tues,,,and my 7 one-page papers too......oh well that is what mondays are for....

This is so true.

Guster- "Two Points for Honesty"

If that's all you will be, you'll be a waste of time
You've dreamed a thousand dreams, none seem to stick in your mind
Two points for honesty
It must make you sad to know that nobody cares at all
I want to be where I've never been before
I want to be there and then I'd understand
Know I'm right and do it right, could I get to be like that
I'll know what I don't know with nothin more to gain
Will I get better or stay the same
I find I always move to slowly
Can't lift a finger, can't change my mind
I never knew till someone told me that...

"If that's all you will be, you'll be a waste of time
You've dreamed a thousand dreams, none seem to stick in your mind
Two points for honesty
It must make you sad to know that nobody cares at all"

And all the people who've seen it all before
And all the people who really understand
Know they're right, and have done it right, could I get to be like that
I'll know what I don't know, it's harder everyday
Can't lift a finger, can't hurt a fly
I've found I always move too slowly

One things for certain, I'm insecure
I never knew till someone told me that....

If that's all you will be, you'll be a waste of time
You've dreamed of thousand dreams, none seem to stick in your mind
Two points for honesty
It must make you sad to know that, nobody cares at all
Nobody cares at all
They never care at all...

It was a sunny day outside when Mary Jane decided to go for a walk..... she saw something lying in the grass.... a trail of flower petals leading to a clearing in the woods. Lying in the grass with no clothes on she saw...... (ok someone else's turn)

THE PORN GAME

I am not going to write a porn.... WE ALL ARE!! I am going to write a line or two, then the next person who posts is obligated to add to my story. Drag it out as long as u want, point is, when I decide to finish it, I'll put it all together and post it for all to see. (Make the subject #1 or #2, or whatever continued from the last person who played.)

And I look up at the sky....

my mouth is opened wide. Lick and taste, what's the use in worrying?"- DMB

Since I am bored, let's talk about Dave. Cory, Kevin, Jen, Diane, we're all going... I donno if I'm missing anyone.

Well Cory, I know that I am taking Jen and apparently you said you would take Andy, Mitch, Diane, and whoever else. I think I am going to end up driving, or maybe Jen will I guess it depends on who plans on getting more messed up and how. I say probably I will because Jen provided my ticket, I may as well make sure she has a good time.

Well, someone else can ride with us if they want.... after all, we will all end up in the same place anyways. I know its far off, but like I said I am bored.... and since the LAST Dave concert was the shit, this should be even better. All you virgins don't know what you have coming to you, lemme say right now.

Anyways, I'd better find something constructive to do with my life but real quick look above this post and play my game.

Hello from Lovejoy

No, not the monument sillies. The library. I came here to do some more research on my topic for Social Problems and now I have an hour before class and there is no sense in waiting for the bus, going to Cougar, and having to come right back here.

How is everyone doing on this fine day? It's really warm outside. Days like these remind me of Chris Evans for some reason. I think its because, remember when we were in J2 (well, some of us were) and Chris wrote that article on spring coming and all the girlies wearing the short skirts? That must be it.

Hey Cory!!!

Glad you finally joined us. Ugh I have to write a long @$$ paper now, just wanted to say hello....

Hi

This is the one and only Cory J Maher! How is every body doing???????

We have to do this!!!

7 Words You Can't Say

Diane don't u remember anything from Journalism? U can't say f*ck without the little *. I don't know that anything would happen if I had left it but I edited your dirty mouth cuz I'm not a risk taker.

Emily's Pool Question

I would love to donate my time and services to helping you install a pool. However, my services will not be available until the week after finals. U know when that is, give me a call then.

The Barker and Kathy Lee's Former B*tch

Not a fan. Haven't you seen HAPPY GILMORE!!? He's a mean, rotten old man. However, Regis is fun to make fun of.

JAMNESTY ON SATURDAY!

For those of you who are in town on Saturday, I want you to go to Jamnesty at the Red Spoon. You'll get to see cool local bands play, AND it's for a good cause. Also, my brother's band will be playing and you'd better support my kinsman. See you there, or call me and u can come with.

Sorry the Quiz Sucks

That link doesn't work. I apologize. You all would flunk anyways. (Just Kidding, Jen got a 70)

Cory Your Password

I can't even remember what it was..... I guess u logged in and changed it. Anyways I think I'm pretty sure your log in name is CoryM84. I had your password sent to your corymaher69@msn.com address.

THIS WEEKEND.....

Hey guys whats going on? Sorry I haven't written anything in a while, but I've been really busy with school and work. I hate when teachers always try to throw everything at you towards the end of the semester...it should be illegal!! Anyways, kind of like a way to get rid of stress and look forward to the quickly approaching summer, steve and I have started a back yard project.... We are building a really nice patio with a fire pit, and hopefully a pool l8ter on here. We are digging up all kinds of crzy stones in the backyard. We are also moving dirt and crap around to start laying the sand, stones, and white rock. If anyone is interested in helping let me know...it would be really nice...and the sooner it gets done,,the sooner we can start on getting a pool......hint..hint....which will all in turn give us all something to do and a cool place to hang out over the summer....

he comes into the CHILDRENS library sometimes to get cds and he tries to hit on my friend amy. not that she would EVER date him, even if she wasnt currently with someone whom she's been with for several years, i warned her of all the times he has asked everyone who went to alton high out. even back in middle school. and how creepy he is. i feel hateful but the wierdness should stop

Gillian's Island

HAHA Keelan Gillian, hes a good guy, good guy. I think the two of you will make a most excellent couple.

The Whole Shabang bang...

Ok, so I am one of the proud member of the broken lizard fan site. One of the perks is meeting other fans by sending messages to them and such. Well, I check my messages today and it said..."how are u doing a/s/l i'am 20/m/Il" so i go to this person's profile and its none other than Keelan Gillian!!! Now he has to know its me b/c my pic is on my profile along with Laura and Cory's pic, and in Laura and Cory's pictures they have the following people...Jen, Big Al, and Nik so he has to know who i am, right? I mean there is a cluster of people from a.h.s.

Over my Easter weekend I did the same thing Laura did Friday and Saturday. Also on sat. I decided to go tanning for the first time in a year. Well the first place I went would only let me go for 10 mins. I decided it wasn't sufficiant enough so I went to another tanning place and tanned for 20 mins. All together...a woping 30 mins. Needless to say, my ass and chest was fire engine red and I could barely move or sleep. So I didn't do anything for easter and I couldn't return back to Western until Monday.

Come Away With Me

How great is Norah Jones?

Her soothing voice and tunes once lulled this lady to sleep every night at Woodland. Reminiscing......

Ashley and I would sit in the room on a rainy day, checking out HotOrNot, which, I may add, is where she met her current boyfriend, hot christian guy.

At night, I'd come back from the 2nd floor (Jen and Kate's room) and lay down and listen to Norah as we went to sleep. How many roommates like to listen to music when they fall asleep?? Speaking of... I need to see how she's doing.

News Flash

Today is the 4th day I haven't been able to hear anything in my left, ear, but it doesn't hurt much anymore so I'm on the road to recovery. Still no results on what the hell causes me to get these every 3 months so bad I can't think straight.

I HAVE seen South Park tho, making fun of it. They really make Mel Gibson look like a fruit. I urge u all to check that out if you can.

Naked Women Aren't Really My Thing...

Ahh Diane, so you're taking the boys to see nudey girls eh? I don't think Fuzz will be into seeing boys, and I think Cory would be very against it, but that is only my opinion. We'll see about break, I'll let u know so u might not have to be the only girl going.

Momma i'm coming home to go to strip clubs!!

Ok, i'm coming home Friday possible today (Thursday).
For easter break, there will probably be another strip club field trip planned so if anyone wants to go just let me know so we can decide on a day! Jen, you need to go!!! Fuzz can come too. Tell him its a new and exciting experience! haha.
If Jon L. comes home for easter break we will be going to the strip club for guys. We may still go anyway if he doesn't b/c i know cory wants to go real bad. So if anyone wants to go to that let me know. I don't want to be the only girl going.

ewww...fish trees

Ahhh...i'm so happy I got away from those nasty things. They look so pretty but they fool you. Its like if you see a hot guy then find out he has herpes!! Ok probably not like that but close. I hope they don't have those in Texas!

Fish Trees in Full Bloom

You think you escaped the mighty wrath of the fish trees when you graduated Alton High didn't you? Well, if you go to SIUE, you know how wrong you were.

Last Friday, as I walked away from Dunham Hall towards the Cougar Shuttle stop, I don't remember any nauseating scents hanging in the air. I also don't remember white trees everywhere. But in one weekend, they have overpowered the Quad. Pretty, yes. Smelly - HELL YES. It's mother nature's version of "that time of the month." I guess.

I realized that the fish trees were following me last year, and although I can't wait for the coming of spring, flowers, and warm weather so I can wear skirts instead of swishy pants--- I dread the smell.

TO ALL OF SOUTHERN IL: Why don't you try out those pretty pink trees for once???

Hey y'all

Hey 'erbody! I was bitching about how no one wrote and I haven't written in a while either. Nothing is really going on. I've just been chillin and watching movies and such. Other than that I haven't been doing anything. I may be coming home tuesday to drop off clothes I don't need anymore and just chill so maybe I'll get to hang out with a few of you. I'll call (hopefully, everyone knows i'm horrible about calling and making plans). See ya.

Ahhhh relaxing Saturdays....

It's nice not to have to work on a Saturday for once. Ahhh..... I woke up at 12:30, made some french toast (I burned it really, and the smell still hasnt gone away completely and its 3:30). The AKL boys (AKA Jen's BF) called to see if I would like to join them out on their porch for some hot dogs on this wonderful spring day we're having (75 degrees), but since I just ate, I sat down to do some homework.

I am home alone, and usually I might be lonely, but I am not really. I get to relax and do whatever I want, and no one is here to give me shit about it. And now I'm taking a break from homework to type this on the blog, and talk to some people. In a bit here, I need to get off my butt and go study for Math and do math homework, cuz tomorrow I have to work on Mythology. (It's not all relaxation folks.....)

Anyways, to those of you that came last night, that was really fun. I'm sorry we didn't get to go to Wild Country, or out at all for that matter. But don't think for a minute that u would have seen a naked half-butt pressed up against my window had we not stayed in. Ewww I can see the butt print. Ok back to the math, before I try to figure out what's going on tonight.

Wheres my homies??

Nobody writes on here anymore. Boo!!! Everyone sucks!!!

Songs on my mind....

"Everything's different, again......Oh my god, wait and see, what will soon become of me."- Dave Matthews- "So Damn Lucky"

"I went to the doctor, guess what he told me? He said girl u better try to have fun no matter what ya do, but he's a fool, cuz nothing compares-- nothing compares to you."
-Sinead O'Connor- "Nothing Compares To You"

"The world was on fire, no one could save me but you. Strange what desire can make foolish people do. I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you. I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you. No I wanna fall in love, with you. What a wicked game to play, make me feel this way. What a wicked thing to do, let me dream of you. What a wicked thing to say, you never felt this way. What a wicked thing to do, make me dream of you."

How Things Are

It takes a lot for me to put this on here, cuz this is what I felt when I wrote this. Raw, true feelings:

How Things Are 2/9/04

Each time it seems they're in the clear,
It looks as though he didn't hear
the things she told him that night
About
How things are.

Her heart is in a vice
And although she tries to be nice
When she'd rather be mean, she can't.
'Cuz thats not
How things are.

Out all weekend having fun
He never thought to call the one
Who makes him feel appreciated
and asks him everyday
How things are.

Said that he knew
"No one would treat him like I do"
They would all give up, and say "go to hell"
because that's
How things are.

Things taken for granted can be taken away
He should be thankful everyday
And let people know they matter
'Cuz thats the way
Things should be.

Divide his time between his girl and his friends
to be sure his relationship doesn't end
They won't be mad, and she won't be sad
And that's the way
Things should be.

But they aren't.

Can't fix a problem if you never try
Make the girl you care about lie in bed and cry
She thinks she's not good enough and that you dislike her... And that's
How things are.

But they don't have to be.

IU SHOOT DOWN....... :(

Well, everything seemed to be going wonderfully.... I told my parents about goin away and they seemed thrilled... My dad, that very night, hopped on the computer to investigate different schools. My dad always told me that I could go anywhere I wanted for college, no matter the price, as long as it was a school of my potential.

Well, tonight was the second discussion for school. And now, everything has changed. Come to find out i'm just a fu**ing dumbass who just wastes money, and who is going after a bull**it career. So, therefor, I am not going to any school, but SIUE, cuz any dumb ass can get my degree from a barn, and every idiot can get into the DEA and ATF. Well you know what ladies and gents... You are looking at one dumb mofo that will do whatever it takes to become that idoit, So if someone could please point me in the direction of the financial aid department that would be greatly appreciated. :) I'm tired of being put down by my parents my entire life, because I don't live the same life they do, or do the things they want me to do. I have MY OWN DREAMS PEOPLE!

If it takes me 10 more years of school and jobs to find out what I want to do, then dammit thats what I'm going to do.... Am I so wrong to try to do something that I want to do??? Am I so wrong to work my ass off for my OWN dreams for 10 years with the ATF or DEA to get to where I want to be? What ever happened to pushing you kids towards these goals?? And where did all of this putting your kids down their entire lives come from? Thats all I have to say!

Little boys and their punk bands.

if anyone wants to hear some good music or to look at what's become of Alton's punk rock bands since we graduated high school, you may want to check out the following:

*Satellite Affair
*Roxanne (scott schwartz, tim grant, and nick hausman among others)
*DYSPHORIA (James' band)

Thats all I have for now... I'm checking out
STL PUNK right now. U should do the same.

Next year to be the year of change...

Damn everything is changing, I feel like it's senior year all over again.

Emily is going away to another college.

Cory is going to another college (I think, his time at LCCC is gonna be up.)

Diane wants to go to Texas maybe. (Congrats on that by the way I hope everything works out for you.)

I will be at EIU.

I am excited to see how everything works out. But I know for sure that I will try my best to enjoy what's left at SIUE- for its not ALL bad (although lately most of it is), and I'm going to make the most of my summer. More on this subject as it develops...

When one door closes another one opens

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't posted. I've been stressing about whether or not to stay at Western next year. Its been hard but I think I'm heading to Texas. I've learned that a 4 year university isn't for me. The only thing that is still holding me here is Jake and I can't afford staying here wasting money and not know what the hell I want to do with my life. As of now, I'm going back to my first career choice...massage therapy. There is a really good school in Texas that is one of the best in the US. The program is only 3-8 months long. Depending on what you take. So I am going to look in the 3 month program which is a summer program. If I like what I see then I will only be gone a summer, maybe a little longer but we'll see. As hard is it is going to be to leave, right now this is the best option for me.

Laura-let me know when that relay for life thing is. We have it at Western and it is fun!

Want to Have Fun and Help People With Cancer??

Hey people I see no one has posted in while..... you know, but I haven't either so I'm not going to get on you people for something I am guilty for myself.

Relay For Life (Click Jersey County, or search our zip code and hit Madison County)

That's what my heading was talking about. Go to the website and check it out.

If anybody is interested in going up to Jerseyville with me that night, then you guys are more than welcome to come. I had lots of fun last year, and I called people to come and no one did. I suppose they all thought it was going to be a boring cancer benefit, but it's not.

There were games, and walking, and food, and even a drag queen beauty contest all to make money for the American Cancer Society.

Pay no attention to the cost of team participation. It didn't cost ME anything last year... except whatever food I bought, which was very reasonable. We would just be going to have fun, and we can participate WITH the teams, we just aren't official. It's OK though, my mom's entire family has a team, called the "Spaghetti Gang." They participated last year because my baby cousin Mark was fighting cancer. Although he died in Dec., its still a good way to help others and remember that so many participated to help him.

ALSO- for those of you who like to stay out late and complain that there's nothing to do because everything is closed, I went last year from somewhere between 6 and 8 pm till about 2-3 in the morning. There were activities going on the whole time. It was great. Think about it, and come June, if anyone is looking for something to do, u give me a call. Alrighty then!

Who do you fancy at the table?

Ahhh...Aren't strip clubs great?!? I love them and I am very addicted to them. Naked men are funny!
Besides attending the strip club twice, I hung out with Cory and saw Starsky and Hutch(great movie), Nik, Laura, and I saw 50 first Dates(good movie), and I saw Starsky and Hutch again with Nik and Brittany. Then we partied at Em's. Lots of drinking, playing beer pong, and getting to see Laura really tipsy!! It was good times. I think thats about it. Even though I didn't get to go anywhere warm, overall, this spring break was really good!!


HAPPY B-DAY EM!!!

Penis Overload

To wrap up my spring break experience 2004, I hung out at Emily's on Friday to make up for a long week of sitting around relaxing (AKA doing nothing). I had some beers and it was a good time. What am I saying, you people (or most of you) know this from being there.

On Saturday, Rachel Lowe, Emily, Diane, and myself went to "Boxers and Briefs," a male strip club just south of here. Diane's friend Brittney (sp?) from Holiday Inn came too. For those of you who were there, this is all review but I want it well documented.

We were prepared to see penis. And so we did. Plenty. We also purchased Emily a personal lap dance on the stage by my personal fave "Christian" to the remix to "Ignition." Happy Birthday Emily. Some of us got little lap dances, but Rachel Lowe and I didn't really want to be licked, or BITTEN for that matter, by strange naked men. The scenery however was very delightful and entertaining. I must say, bravo Diane, on the key night of my spring break and making it a fun one.

Spring break is over,,,, :(

I don't know about everyone else but I am sad to say that today is the last day of spring break..... I want to thank Diane, Laura, Rachel, and Brittany for the best birthday yet!! :) That was freakin great! I hope to go again, esp when we are all 21! Well I must go now, cuz I have a test after work tomorrow that I need to study for......BRING ON THE NAKED MEN!!!

Jon's Bubble Bursts

Hey dear, glad to see you've finally joined us. However, Kevin has already posted so you're male figure #2. Maybe I'll see you sometime soon.
