I have been watching abnormal amounts of CSI lately. Today I turned that shit in to the library about 3 weeks late. Of course I don't get a fine, but it was a sad, sad day. No more watching my Greggie get blown up in his own DNA lab. I know people, its not real. I have a grip, dont tell me to get one.
I'm sorry I missed all the fun at Emily's. Man, you are a pimp. Two guys in one night? Tell me how you do it.

A formal apology to Em and Steve
A formal apology.
"To Emily and Steve, I'd like to say I am sorry for the events that occurred on the night of Saturday July 24th. I hope that I was not one of the people who broke the rules, but seeing as I did not break anything or spill anything I guess that I am okay.
I also apologize for bringing a guest. I meant to only bring Andy which I thought was okay since we all hang out with him once in awhile. I did not know he was going to bring Trisha, but I did ask before they showed up. Although I cannot speak for them, I am sorry for any rules having been broken by either of those two during the course of the night, as it was my doing that allowed them to be present.
I understand completely the rules that were set down for us as far as breaking things and underage drinking (or of-age drinking) and driving. If it were my apartment I'd have the same rules. Although I remember many a nights (out of the few nights I had drinking parties in Cougar) where I must say I don't remember anyone staying. And that made me kinda mad, as it would have been my responsiblilty had something happened.
I understand you don't want a repeat of this, so you can rest safely. Everyone will be gone in a mere 2 weeks or so."
But as far as the night goes, I am very appreciative and I had fun. Thanks, and sorry once again.
I am disappointed in you people.

NEW RULES FOR THE IRRESPONSIBLE:
Due to an overwhelming amount of irresponsibility, rudeness, and total lack of control and respect I am sorry to announce that there will be NO MORE underage drinking until otherwise posted. I am ashamed to say those who WERE invited on Saturday, July 24, to my home, were none other than my closest so-called best friends. I was extremely disgusted to see my friends act in such an irresponsible, selfish way. Those rules that were imposed for Saturday were the same since I and an of-age drinker moved into our apartment in December of 2002. Being almost two years ago I would except, especially from my closest friends, that those few rules that we had set would be followed and understood. These rules only consisted of: 1) You spill it, YOU clean it (yes, that was broken on Saturday) 2) You break it, You buy it (I don't believe this rule was broken, but I have yet to venture into the basement where sounds of something breaking had happened) and last but not least 3) YOU DRINK YOU STAY NO QUESTIONS!!! Since people cannot follow these few and simple rules underage drinking is no longer accepted until people gain some respect for others and their property.

Cory's Mom has got it goin' on
Ok. So. I haven't been on here in forever. My computer sucks. Its really slow and you all know how impatient I am. Last night was a hell of a good time. Big up to Cory's Mom (not Mitch's piece...haha). Last night will go down in my book of one of the best party nights with my peeps. So many funny/crazy things in one night. All the drunken phone calls, boob flashing by a certain someone who will remain nameless, convos with Cory's Mom (Cory your facial expressions were priceless!) There is so much more but I'd really have to put my mind to it to think about it b/c I was WASTED!!! Why can't every night be that awesome!?! PEACE OUT YO

Sean Connery Lives to be approxmiately 1.2 years old
My beta-fish, Sean Connery, died this morning around 10 am. Actually I'm not sure when he died, but I found him around noonish.
It must have been from over-feeding, or maybe from not changing his water properly, I cannot be sure, and I'm not doing an autopsy. His body has been hauled off with the trash by Bob Sanders Waste, INC because his owner and only family member in the area could not bring herself to flush him.
Surviving family members include Laura G. of Godfrey, IL; Jen F. of St. Louis, MO; Erika M. of Columbia, IL; Kate D. of Quincy, IL; and older-stepbrother Gill D. also of Quincy, IL.
He will be missed. There will be a memorial today at St. Mary's Church (in Laura's Head) at 6:00 pm. A moment of silence was held for him at 20 after noon this morning. Donations can be made at the Griffith household anytime this week.

Weekend Update With Laura McGriffith
ON Thursday, the Dave Matthews tour came to UMB Bank Pavillion to start off their Summer 2004 Concert series. I was there, along with 1 Altonian, 4 Godfreyites, and 1 Greenfieldian having a splendid time.
ON Friday, a sad attempt by two young kids trying to see Dodgeball landed Andy and Laura in the theatre behind a large railing to see The Terminal. Tom Hanks was stunning as well as hilarious in this orignal film by Steven Speilberg.
ON Saturday, 5 young adults tried once again to see Dodgeball, and succeeded. To their surprise, they met Bill, Chad, Nick, and other Altonians, a few of which they have not seen since the summer after graduation. And for the movie. Ben Stiller put on a fantastic, laugh-out-loud performance as White Goodman, Globo-Gym Health Nut Extraordinaire. His work in this film has been compared to his work in the fat-camp comedy, Heavyweights. If you have not seen either movie, I suggest u hop to it.

Another Day Another Headache.......
Yeah, I decided why not to posting.. I'm on the internet every freakin day, why not just post some stuff and see if anyone else does over the summer... Anywho... Had another test today, which means it was another sleepless night last night.. but its all good.. If anyone wants to do anything tonight(thursday) or saturday night let me know.... On other news... I've been talkin to this guy through emails (no I didn't meet him on the net.. wait actually i did, i bought my pointfest tickets from him through ebay. But I met him cuz it was so close to the show. I met him down in collinsville to do the transaction... pretty cute if you ask me.. nice truck too. so anyways---) Ok, so i talked to him through emails since pointfest, but i'm runnin out of things to say to him,,, and i don't wanna be some kinda strange person who continues on like a freak. Any sugestions??? PLEASE!? I at least wanna find out some way if he has a girlfriend, or is married or anything... But I guess thats cool if he does.
On other guy news, I talked to Adam last friday. He kept sayin how much he wanted to drive down that night and just chill with me, but he had to do something with his dad the next morning. So I have no idea where that is going.... Well I posted for the second time now... EVERYONE BETTER WRITE ME BACK!

Welcome Back Cotter.....
Hahaha or should I say Em. I didn't know anybody read this thing anymore, and I've been slacking. It's good to read some new material, although Jen I'm sorry the nature of the posts haven't been so uplifting. Keep up the good work.

Its been a hard days night.........
Jen: I'm sorry to hear about yo man, but don't worry a better guy for you will come along. Guys can be total assholes sometimes let me tell ya.. But things will get better and you'll realize that he was just a punk... So go out and have a kick ass time knowing that you can do whatever you want, when you want, and u wont have to worry that you're pissing anyone off! Here are some lyrics that fit the way I feel bout' steve... since some people have been askin me: "what is goin on between you two". (we aren't together!!!)
"I'm drunk off your kiss
For another night in a row
This is becoming too routine for me
But I did not mean to lead you on
And it's all right to pretend
That we still talk
It's just for show, isn't it
It's my fault that it fell apart
Just maybe
You need this
And I didn't mean to
Lead you on
You were everything I wanted
But I just can't finish what i've started
There's no room left here on my back
It was damaged long ago
Though you swear that you are true
I still pick my friends over you
(My friends over you)
Please tell me everything
That you think that I should know
About all the plans you made
When I was nowhere to be found
And it's all right to forget
That we still talk
Its just for fun, isn't it
It's my fault that it fell apart
Cuz maybe you need this
And I didn't mean to
Lead you on
You were everything I wanted
But I just can't finish what i've started
There's no room left here on my back

I know you all dont want to look at my same picture again but I remember on Alex's blog people would write stuff and have little tiny pictures of them underneath their posts. I'm seeing if this can do the same thing. To start posting your own pics.... click on the little picture in the thought bubble looking thingie and download "hello." Then fool around with it and see what you can do! This is so exciting, I am so easily amused.

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.
