look at these cute pictures that jess took last night! i look freakish in two of them which is always good.
the wall!
i really love the dining hall staff here. as if the sandwich lady wasn't enough, yesterday the guy at the grill was dancing to "the humpty dance" and kriss kross' "jump". good times.
and ok...i met this really cool girl, molly, in my history class, who also happens to be from new hampshire. she was looking at my last lj entry and noticed i was listening to "all around" by the adored, this completely random and pretty unknown band from california that i like. wellll...uh yeah, her brother is in it! i still can't get over it. weeeird.
sorry for the update whorage but i want to keep all the amherst kids up on what's been going on. i miss you guys even though i love it here <3

The Adored- All Around |
] |
when i decided to get a turkey sandwich today for lunch, and began telling the ghetto-fab woman behind the counter what i wanted, i was hardly expecting what she said next.
you do it yoself! y'all grooooown!"
indeed. everyone i ate with was present, and laughing hysterically at me, therefore producing our first inside joke.
when i first arrived, i was overwhelmed with the amount of sleazy gals and jocky, old-guy looking guys. seriously, it seems more high school than high school was. but i am so glad that i have met some really cool people. last night, hanging out on our newfound 'chill' spot "the wall" with jess, maraysa, kari, chris, brian, and emily was so fun and today just wandering around and eating dinner and discussing old nickelodeon shows with dana, jared, molly, jill, and that whole gang has been so fun. i am psyched that i am meeting such cool and similar people.
whyy am i suddenly updating more now that i'm in school? aren't i supposed to have less free time or something?

Lostprophets- A Million Miles |
] |
i thought i should give a little more thorough update.
yesterday was fun- the mocktails sucked and everyone was gross and sweaty, but i got to meet meg, dana, marisa, maraysa, and reunited so-to-speak with brian, chris, and jared.
though everyone was so exhausted that after dinner (which involved aggressive black men's hands grabbing at our trays) and random meetings, everyone was exhausted. kari and i decided to chill in our rooms, and chris and maraysa ended up coming over and watching most of dazed and confused which is amazing. basically we were so tired that we went right to sleep. boring, yes...but sleep was needed.
and there were already creepy upperclassmen roaming through the halls trying to advertise frat parties...skeeetch.
today, jared, kari, and i ended up meeting this kid jeff who joined us for breakfast and we found our classes...aka went into air conditioned buildings for an hour. good times.
OH YEAH! our room. it already looks like it's been lived in for weeks.
( 612 aw yeah )
i hope everyone is doing okay, and i am pretty homesick for various reasons. but i'm sure that i will find my niche here, hopefully!
p.s. anyone else hate dorm showers so far? :)

i can't even think about kirby right now or otherwise i'll break down, which i'm already starting to do. you were the funniest, sweetest kid i knew. i will always cherish the good times we had together, whether loitering at quikava, ghetto bowling, or just having funny conversations. rest in peace.

Sahara Hotnights- Mind Over Matter |
] |
i'm so giddy right now ...slash such a wreck. i leave tomorrow to stay at my aunt and uncle's house, and saturday morning around 8:30 i move in.
in the past week, i saw dogma which is an amazing movie, reminisced with christine about 2gether and hanson, did some random driving and saw princess diaries two with rachael (it's a hawt movie...don't hate), spent time with kristi, and went to dinner with alissa at chili's.
now, i feel obliged to say my goodbyes to everyone, even those i've already said my goodbyes to in person. deal with the cheesiness, bitches! i limited myself to 10 and tried to keep it short, so feel free to smack me and/or get mad if you're not on here. and geez...we're all keeping in touch anyways so PSSH this is kind of useless.
( adios! )
now that that's taken care of, everyone look at my dorm door, courtesy of meg- meglk. 
KIMBERLY! the nerve. who do they think they are, kyle/dan? oh well. next time i update, i will be all collegiate and ish. bye amherst!

omfgz! people are disappearing, and it's making me sad. jamie and julie are gone, and i leave on friday, so i'm trying to see a ton of people within a few days.
friday i went to curly's for the last time in a while, and met up with kelly. we grinned and giggled like annoying little children the whole evening because, as we have concluded through a new equation, skinny, beautiful pat = god. seeing him at warped and various shows has led us to believe that it's either fate, or he's just really scene. our fears of him thinking that we're stalking him are completely valid! except that we're not. but anyways, it brought a tear to my eye (almost...okay it didn't) because curly's, like, seriously changed my life. whoa.
umm i would looove getting mail at school, so if you want to send me love letters, mix cds, food, or other random things, please write to meeee.

if anyone wants to be entertained, go to PolaroidScene. well, i get a kick out of it at least- random LA hipsters who looked coked/heroin-ed out of their minds...and the occasional appearance by a random rockstar.
while I'm at it, and cuz everyone loves lists, here are the things i will miss about living in amherst, in no particular order:
( amherst...ohhkay )
uhh i kind of really need to see the new princess diaries movie & napoleon dynamite again.
ahhh: ummm they are definitely playing "breaking the dawn" by washington social club on FNX right now. and interviewing them. and evan fucking featherstone is talking alot. gawwwd!

The Kinison- Hey Hey Hey |
] |
warped tour rocked...a lot. the "punk pilgrimage", as i titled it, was nothing short of amazing. between good music, semi-decent food, free swag, 500+ shags and one huge (and i mean HUGE) afro, the day was good.
( our day )
in total, we ended up seeing washington social club, the kinison, some of sugarcult, some anti-flag who i don't really even like, the end of "try honesty" by billy talent (i loove that song), most of yellowcard, and a bit of taking back sunday. fun! we missed the used & coheed and cambria since they were on much later, but oh well.
other random happenings include:
-seeing a ton of kids wearing TREOS shirts...they weren't playing, so it was weird but cool.
-the mohawked lead singer of Anti-Flag ranting, reeeeeeally really loudly: "IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT YOUR HAIR LOOKS LIKE! IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT COLOR YOUR SKIN IS! IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT YOUR SEXUAL PREFERENCE IS!" and various political freakouts. it was entertaining.
-trumpet player in planet smashers that frolicked with said trumpet and then broke it.
-A random kid who walked by us in line singing "i'm from texas, my state is better than you fuckers" or something to that effect.
-a really bad white british rapper lady who was just...the worst ever.
-free drive-thru records cd and a fuse pin!
-the above-mentioned 500+ shags. there could never be such a high concentration of shags in one place again.
so, really fun times. ahh..um i need to hang out with people i haven't seen in a while!

My Chemical Romance- I'm Not Okay (I Promise) |

today i get a message on my answering machine from the marist rug place, saying that they received another order from a girl in the same room, leo 612, who didn't recognize my name as her roommate. rfkgjmnfirkd i'm in a triple??!!
but not to worry. the random girl had number dyslexia or something and was actually in 621. she'll probably end up being my bff...or not.
alerrrrrt: if i see one more of those cursed poncho things displayed in a catalog, draped over some unfortunate soul's body, or in a store, someone's getting hurt!!
also, i made a napoleon dynamite shirt & ahh it's so cute. i used this iron-on thing and it was cool.
warped in twoooo days. two! lemme know if you're going so we can meet up plz. i must take lots of pictures.
also, i'm leaving the 27th for poughkeepsie. so if you wanna see me, let's make plans asap, k?

yesterday- mini road-trip to tilton with rachael and laura which involved kurt cobain journal-reading at outlet shops and frustration at our passive waitress at the tilt'n diner. it was fun.
todaaaay, kristi and i pulled a major teenybopper move and headed to the pheasant lane mall to see ryan cabrera...that sexy, sexy dude who actually happens to be really talented. AND he's ashlee simpson's ex. hehehe.
however, we didn't realize our adventure also involved sleazy gross pop singers and white rappers. but it did. oh, did it ever.
( lots of pictures!!!!! )
on a more serious note, this summer and high school in general have been totally amazing. when i was younger, i never understood how kids could ever want to just leave everything and go to college. but when you get to that point, it just seems like time for a new start. and as much as you will miss the people and places and experiences that have brought you to where you are today, and while you will still keep in touch with your closest friends, you can't do anything but simply appreciate everyone and everything else that has impacted you, and move on to the next new beginning.
that was really random. but the moral of this entry is that ryan cabrera is cool.

The Fictions- Le Traitor |

I find myself in quite the predicament...I have a sudden need to update (a sure sign of LJ addiction), yet no update-worthy material. At this point, I turn to those privileged people with whom I am chatting on AIM with to provide me with inspiration. So far, this is all that has come of it:
shatteredxdaze: today i saw a woman with not only her arm sticking out of her car window...
shatteredxdaze: but also her head
shatteredxdaze: and i thought...
shatteredxdaze: that could be dangerous
shatteredxdaze: I WANT MONEY BITCH! I GOT BILLS!
ScottieWags: write about how scottiebones is amazing
(Amazing, he is! In fact, possible the MOST amazing, rad, and sweet dude ever. SERIOUSLY.)
COOL.
Yeah, when I was driving home from the movie theatre tonight (where I saw collateral, which was surprisingly good...but tom cruise with gray hair = NO), I had the "emo"-est (shush) moment everrrr. After first listening to The Smiths' "How Soon Is Now?", Coldplay's "Don't Panic" came on. And then it starting raining. Then it started pouring. And I randomly just started crying 'cause I'm a loser like that. Go me! haha.

Ashlee Simpson- Better Off (shutup she's gooood) |
] |
I'm babysitting right now...well more like the kids just went golfing across the street and I get to lounge around.
After my random family gathering the other day, I had a chance to feed my latest ice cream addiction with "cake batter"...the ice cream had flippin' chunks of cake in it. I was in love. Meanwhile, I reminisced about my Quikava loitering days as I watched the employees slack off.
I picked up Kristi that night and we had a danceparty in her brother's room to the strange combination of whitesnake, petey pablo, black eyed peas and sublime since the bass on his stereo is insane. I proceeded to feel awkward when he walked in as we were whipping our sweatshirts around our heads. mehh. We went swinging at some Bedford Playground and that was fun too.
Sunday was running errands with Jacob and Jamie...including the incident which shall be stricken from our memories forever due to it's creepiness. OK, i might as well say it- this creepy-looking dude with an afro comes up to me, pointing for about 2 minutes, and finally says "myspace.com". To quote the classic movie Snow Day, "What kind of sicko?" He proceeds to introduce himselves to us and babble about random topics for 15 minutes before we run away. That's what I get for putting myself out there, I suppose...but it was freaky to the max.
Ohh man, for all of you who know of my favorite hot topic employee Jesse, I caught a glimpse of him (her?) yesterday with shoulder-length curly hot pink hair and matching pink & black top and pants. He's amazing.
In other recent developments, Andy kicked my ass in bowling yesterday.
Since I'm in Leo Hall at Marist, Meg and I have decided our mascot to be Leo DiCaprio. Leo...Leo? Get it? Genius! And taking a cue from Meg, can all of you marist kids post your housing info (well, everyone besides kari, jared, meg and sonia)...I keep confusing myself as to who's living where.
Warped Tour on the 19th...yeee-uh. and will someone be awesome and come with me to the mall this saturday to see ryan cabrera? pleease.

Minus the below-mentioned drama, the past few days have been generally pretty uneventful.
I went to Santos a few nights ago and had cheesecake ice cream and it was possibly the best ice cream ever. Jammed in Rachael's car to old 2ge+her and BSB on the way to Wal-Mart where there appeared to be some sort of baptist church group invading the parking lot...it was quality. Lots of degrassi/daria watching ensued afterwards and the following night.
The drama that's been going on for the past few days is really not cool and it makes me extremely sad. That's all I have to say about it since I don't want to bring this stuff onto LJ.
Ahhh.
ANYWAYS, I finally saw Napoleon Dynamite yesterday, and it was the funniest/best movie. EVER. "GOSH!" I did not stop laughing once. "Why the flip is grandma at the dunes?" "We have to do a flippin' skit?"
And my favorite sequence, besides the incredible dancing one:
Nathan: Napoleon, give me some of your tots.
Napoleon Dynamite: No, go find your own.
Nathan: Come on, give me some of your tots.
Napoleon Dynamite: No, I'm freakin' starving! I didn't get to eat anything today.
Nathan: [kicks the tots]
Napoleon Dynamite: Ugh! Gross! Freakin' idiot!
I must see it again.
Also, I bought a flat iron recently and my hair is finally normal...woooo.
Dorm shopping the other day was great until I ran into Thomas Rossi, who informed me that his roommate is ("it's right up your alley, Kim!") in a rock band. I feel bad for the poor kid...he'll end up kicking T.R's ass!
...I really can't wait to go to Marist. My hall is gonna be awesome, I just know it.
I get to see Kristi today, but first is a random family dinner in Mass with my grandparents. goodtimes.

I'm back, bitches!
granted it's only been 3 days, but it feels like i missed a bunch of exciting stuff.
first of all, i'm SO stoked- Kari- kawwi is my roommate!!! Leo Hall, Room 612...it will be absolutely amazing and i cannot wait! i'm so glad we got leo even though we requested champagnat. mega exciiiitement! i'll post my schedule later cuz i'm lazy right now.
( schedule for those who care )
onto maine...it was actually really fun. highlight time!
-12 year old child with dreadlocks sitting on a bench holding a fake sword.
-trekking through the trails of acadia national park with my neon/striped clothing and fake pearls, and being whispered about by indian women. (lowlight???)
-one word: shagfest! i died every day. the total count: +/-25, and 4 afros. INCLUDING: Two "nu-metal" shag brothers (they came to be known as this because i saw them every day i was there in some random place, and each day they were wearing linkin park/korn/limp bizkit shirts), a heavenly angel with a brown shag and sunglasses who i saw the first day strolling through downtown, 3 hours later on the top of a mountain, and then 2 days later leaning against a car. FATE. A taplike boy, a chilly lookalike, a lanky backpacked shag with a swizzle stick in his mouth, and two blonde brothers eating ice cream. Even on the way home today, they seem to follow me. At a random seafood restaurant taken over by a tour group of senior citizens, i saw a freakin' shag baking apple crisp things in the bakery booth in front of my table. dammit.
-our hotel had a tiki bar. NICE.
-taking a foggy nature cruise with japanese tourists who promptly fell asleep on the bottom deck. i couldn't resist taking a picture.
( zzzz's on the boat ) i texted julie on the boat and that was cool.
-a waiter at this 50's diner that WAS trent from daria. he had the gravelly voice and was so creepy. i was half expecting him to break out a guitar and start singing about psychic refugees.
-validating my suspicion that i was in the midst of hippie-land. the t-shirts at this ice cream parlor i went to read "we pack the biggest bowl in town." that CAN'T be just a random wrong choice of words.
So yeah, maine was cool. EVERYONE- clear your schedules for friday or saturday. NAPOLEON DYNAMITE is coming to the bedford mall and everyone is coming with me to see it, k?? <3

The Receiving End of Sirens- Dead Men Tell No Tales |
] |
The past few days have been pretty great. On Wednesday, my friend Kim from Lyndeborough, her mom, and my mom went shopping. I didn't get much, but I ran into Bruce and he gave me a Hot Topic gift card. Yay. I visited Jacob (jacobmeade) at the library, got some quality CDs, balanced a dime on my nose, and left.
Thursday afternoon, I met up with Mary (athena5905) at Panera for a bit and had a nice time catching up on things since it's been since like...February.
Yesterday (ahh this is turning into one of those "and then i did this" entries... oh well.) Julie and I hammocked it up for a bit and then went poster shopping at Newbury Comics. I got a reeeeally cute Breakfast Club poster for my dorm. Though, I haven't reeeeally put a lot of effort into my dorm decorations yet. Probably a bad thing.
And finally, last night I picked up Jamie (coconutical) and Julie (thisvintagelife) and we headed to the TREOS show at Drifters. Lots of beauty there- Jamie and I proceeded to die quite frequently as we saw tightpants, tees, lots of hair, and bruce lookalikes. Drifters is pretty rad...much more teen-conducive than Curly's. The only annoying thing was having to sit through 3 "eh" bands before TREOS actually went on....in the sweltering heat of the place. We made half of an emo rap on the back of receipts, which was kinda bad.
Anyways, it was worth it as far as I'm concerned, because TREOS rocks every time I see them. There were some hardcore fans moshing, and dripping sweat on Jamie, but it was okay since we were both just rocking out, and admiring the elusive, wonderful Alex Bars. Before the show, we would spot him at one place and then all of a sudden he would appear again from a completely different area. Our conversation about this: "Who-what-when-where-how?" "That's cute." "That's hot". Anyways, he also sang to himself, stretched in weird poses, and just looked generally amazing- plus he had a duffel bag. Aw yeah. Though they didn't play "The Art of Subversion", they still rocked. I really hope they make it big (or bigger than they are). Jamie/Julie- reeeally random discovery- is this not the blonde roof boy? I think it is. whoa.
Random- Anyone seen "The Assistant" on MTV with Andy Dick? Hilaaaarious! "Somebody's gonna get :::scissor sounds:: CLIPPED!" oh man.
Um yeah, so I'm leaving tomorrow for Acadia with the parentals until Thursday. Leave me love and I'll talk to/see people when I get back!

The Ordinary Boys- Week In, Week Out |
] |
In the timeless words of NWA, "fuck tha police." Last night, julie hosted a fun and random summer barbeque (kirby- "i'm in fifth grade, bitch! you can't tell me nothin'!"). Later on began an incredibly scary search for the "creepiest motherfucking house ever" according to jamie- a search that led us into the depths of lyndeborough, included a deathly curve, and revealed a sketchy-ass abandoned illuminated building surrounded by pedophile vans. We somehow ended up in the center of wilton, and rejoiced in civilization. But we still haven't found the house.
Later on, as we all left julie's parking lot to head home, the po's were, indeed, out in full force. i realized that one was in front of me, but he stealthily pulled off to the side so he could follow me for miles of uncomfortableness, but not pull me over. SWEET.
Anyways, speaking of summer adventures, here is the promised update on the accomplishment of our summer goals:
1) Find out where Scooby & Shaggy live: they're too mysterious, damn it. we will find out, but for now having Zac pump our gas is sufficient..."That'll be 23 dollars".
2) Find and frequently hang out in "the sac": we found the sac and it sucked. but the other day rachael, jen and i were teleported there mysteriously. freaky.
3) Make another amazing documentary video of our summer: ohhh, we will.
4) Have a Eurotrip/Breakfast Club viewing for those deprived kids who have not seen it: "fun fact, you made out with your sister, man!"
5) Go thrifting in Boston: garment district...represent.
6) Several road trips to various places: not so much...we still have a few weeks.
7) Network w/the kids in our class that hang out drunk in Julie's parking lot and crash a party: networking has slightly begun...the crashing is next.
8) 4 words- I Love the 90's: what a glorious week of nightly fiestas it was.
9) Go to some (or at least one other) good concert: phantom planet/damone/washington social club...it was a legendary night of freakouts and brooding rock gods.
Also as promised, the shag guide that has already caused a ruckus of praise and anger in the shaggy hair LJ community...pssh. Guide to Shagsters. It's worth a good laugh/swoon or two.
Anyone want to go to the TREOS show Friday at Drifter's with me? Aaaand I am still eagerly awaiting Napoleon Dynamite's opening around here...so far I can't find anywhere that's playing it. Ugh.
Highlight of today so far was without a doubt the Ashlee Simpson sing-a-long that occurred while waiting in line at Charlotte Russe. I faintly hear the girl behind me murmuring "pieces, pieces, pieces of me..." and soon the cashier is breaking into song as well. i joined in because i felt awkward and because that song is quality. tonight i'm finally seeing "saved!" in wilton. i am filled with christ's love, fo sho.
quick update: "saved!" was amazing, as expected. macaulay dancing in a wheelchair will be forever treasured. as will be the beautiful yawning shag we saw. and the flamboyant man strutting off to his car after a post-movie lover's quarrel (or so we figured). burns road is FREAKY. and we finally found "the house"! we think.

Head Automatica- Beating Heart Baby |
] |
Well, well, well...I must say that this summer, though it's going by entirely too fast, has been extremely fun so far. This entry might be on the lengthy side, but meeeh.
Wednesday was made of a disappointing mall trip, a strange car chase with random dudes, and "Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen" in which i could not get enough of the drunken british rock star's antics and pleas for onion rings.
Thursday was fun-filled as well, as Julie, Jen, and I headed down to Boston to check out the Garment District. I began to freak on the T as I started confusing myself (and my friends) as to where we were to get off, but no thanks to a random garment district-y looking boy and much thanks to some random girl, we were assured, and soon we found ourselves sitting in and sifting through piles and piles of clothes (for $1 a pound, woo!)
However, I found my bargain upstairs- this sweet top that I took to deconstructing a bit.
( snip snip )
Also on Thursday, we saw the ghost of Mikey in the center of town- well, it was him but he was deathly pale- it was surely a miracle that we saw him since he has been unreachable for the past month. At least he's alive. Ohhh, Mikey and his substance abuse.
Friday involved s'mores and some much-appreciated my so-called life/degrassi watching (spinner's tongue ring is it's own character as far as i'm concerned), and of course, shags. Speaking of which, Jen and I created a "Shag Guide"- it was time for classifications! I need to put the finishing touches on it, but it will be surfacing soon.
Waking up this morning at 4:30 was "wicked sweet" (and by that i mean horrible). However, it was necessary to see dear Jen off on her journey back to Vegas. After some struggles with muffin orders at dunkin' donuts AND a rock band sighting- perhaps 80's hair band RATT though I couldn't be sure...more investigating is in order-edit: it was Vince Neil's (Motley Crue) touring band who had just played a show at Hampton last night. Why oh why did we not get their autographs?- Anyways, our fun week of gas stations, malls, amusement parks and thrifting has ended. but it was a blast! And so my summer continues on...an update on the accomplishment of the summer goals will follow!
Oh yeah, and Adam Green (strange but brilliant, and hot, singer) has the same birthday as me. Word.

The Rocket Summer- Cross my Heart !!! |
] |
Jen has been visiting from Vegas since Saturday and the past few days included a fun and beautiful show with kelly and, as she called him, "hotpants geoff"- it was excellent. also, trips to newbury comics and the mall (and inadvertent conor oberst lookalike sightings and more strange coincidences), a new TV obsession, and late night bonding.
i recommend that everyone see "a cinderella story". it's AMAZING and the whole cheesy mask thing makes more sense in the context of the movie.
i love gas stations and the people that work at them. seriously.
mega-edit: canobie tonight was a ton of fun. from the gas station incident (now i really love people who work at them) on, we knew we were going to have a blast.
highlights include: tight pants, ryan ridiculous, running into kelly, matching belts (<333), fried dough, standing in trees, flying/glowing hair, high fives, "electrocore dance party rides", shags with rifles, ethnic creeps named mikey, and the "mis-cue-si!" incident which we derived an important equation from:
Jamie + Dirty sketchy smirking Mexican + Roller coaster = Disaster + Bath in Disinfectant. hahahahaha.
it was definitely good times.

Seen in the mall food court:
A large woman sloppily eating an Au Bon Pain sandwich. She picks up her cell phone and begins YELLING (though not angrily, mind you...just obnoxiously) about dill, croissants, and other various food items that do not seem to connect at all. Suddenly, she switches into Spanish mode, but only for a moment, to say "they're muy bueno". WTF. Meanwhile, I am trying not to fall on the floor cracking up, and the effeminate male hairdresser sitting at the table across from me is giving her the most hilarious disgusted look ever before laughing in a condescending manner at the woman, who is now applying eyeliner to her disgusting over made-up face.
Amuse yourselves with this neat "what tree are you" thingy that I stole from Kari...I am apparently:
Ash Tree (Ambition) -- extremely attractive, vivacious, impulsive,
demanding, does not care for criticism, ambitious, intelligent,
talented, likes to play with fate, can be very egotistic, reliable, restless lover, sometimes money rules over the heart, demands attention, needs love and much emotional support.
HMM. i am hardly that needy, pssh!
( find out your tree, y'all )
post your results to me 'cause it will be rad and stuff.
...and that is all. besides the fact that my hair is growing more and more mullet-esque by the day-ahh! i might need to do a DIY haircut fix, which should be interesting.
