Top of the morning to you, internet.

I just had a bite of the most delicious blackout chocolate cake for breakfast. Thanks, roomie.

The past week has been so fucking hectic! I registered for classes on Thursday afternoon and got all of the classes I want for next semester, but really awkward times for them. Like I have class all day Friday because for one class, it was the only recitation left, and my Video Art class is fucking 2-5:20pm. BUUULLLLSHIT. I kind of despise Albert.

Went to work yesterday, hated on MySpace a whole ton, then went out to dinner with the rest of InternPartySystem minus Lisa who had to peace and meet her friend. The busboys were creepy and kept staring, and our waitor was sooo weird. Afterward I went with roomie and suitemate to Times Square to wait for roomie's friend to get into Port Authority. We bought games from Toys R Us (Taboo = <3) and then went to Roxy diner to eat delish french fries and dessert. And then I hung out in Alex's room until 4am. Good times, good times for all.

Thankgiving needs to be here right now. I want to just fast forward the next couple of days until I'm seeing all of my besties from high school. Sometimes it pains me how much I miss them and I'm just so excited to spend a shitload of time with them and swap all of our crazy stories from college that we haven't already on the internet or video chat. Friends from high school and college are different, and I know they say college friends are for life but I really feel that way about my H.S. friends. I think if we drifted, it would've already happened, but we're all too good to each other.

I'm kind of ridiculously hungry right now. Guess the cake wasn't enough to satiate my hunger.

Pot calling the kettle black.

I swear it was just like an Alfred Hitchcock movie outside my house. My mom called me upstairs and I went to the glass sliding door in our dining room, and there were hundreds - literally HUNDREDS - of crows in our backyard. Sitting in trees, on wires, but most of them were by our pool and bathing. The first thing I asked my mom was if there was a dead body in our backyard haha but she thinks they're just flying south and stopping along the way for a bath. Let's hope it's just that!

So yeah, I decided on a whim to come home for the weekend. The past week was so emotionally and mentally stressful because of Halloween, tests, papers, etc. that I just decided I wanted to relax and get away from all of that. And it was really good! Yesterday, I went with family to this lady's house in Queens to do glass fusion. It's pretty easy and Marcy, the woman who helped us with it, was so sweet. I probably won't have mine until two weeks from now when I next come home, beause they take a long time to cool down. But I'm STOKED to be rocking my own shit.

Always one of a kind, baby.

I also ate dinner out with my mom one night and Clara yesterday, and I saw "Dan In Real Life" with her. It was okay, though I'm not really into those corny romantic comedies anymore. Plus Emily Blunt was in it, and i <3 her. However, the ending completely DESTROYED what dignity I thought the movie held. I won't say why but if you see it, you'll know why I vomitted from the cliche.

Didn't feel well on Friday when I woke up so I didn't go to my internship. Boo. So nothing fun to report on those fronts yet :(

BTW my renovated room is SO cute. I'll post pictures once I'm not too lazy to upload...

It's our town, everybody scream, in this town of Halloween

Happy day after Halloween!! My Halloween was pretty boring since I had a bunch of shit to do and couldn't go buckwild. I dressed up as the Queen of Hearts from Alice In Wonderland and everyone really loved my costume and told me it was their favorite. Hells yeah for awesome ideas. All my floormates ended up going down to the village parade together but we got separated after we went down 14th street to 6th ave and it was fucking packed. My group ended up two streets uptown and the rest of them went four streets downtown. Parade = so not a big deal, i am happy next year is going to be a Friday so I can get fucked up. We left and ate dinner at this place with awesome yam fries and that was that.

Then I came home and had a huge headache, so I went to sleep instead of studying for my huge Developmental Psych test and writing my first draft of a paper for Writing the essay. Oops.

I am kind of thrilled that this week is coming to its close. It's been so aggravatingly busy the past few days that I've wanted to cry at numerous points. I don't really deal with stress well. In most cases, I'll put off doing something that is going to cause me anxiety until the last minute. I.e. my essay that I have a meeting with my teacher lady for tomorrow at 8:45am. I'm hoping my psych recitation is cancelled so I can come home and maybe sleep another hr and a half before heading to Stolen Transmission.

I miss Long Island. It's silly since I wanted to be in the city so much but sometimes I just miss being able to drive around through suburban streets, go out to eat at actual legit sized restaurants, cuddle with my dog Emma, and see all of my high school friends. Next weekend I think I'm going home and possibly bringing home my roommates, definitely bringing home Alex. My new bed came and hopefully my sheets and comforter will too (my room just got redone), so there will be more than enough cuddle space.

InternPartySystem is going great. Everything is being developed, probably a lot will get done tomorrow when all five of us are at work. We were featured on the front page of Buzznet which is pretty cool. People on LJ already hate us hahaha. Whatever, negative attention is attention none the less. Most kids have been super enthusiastic about it and we're going to make sure they get their payoff in awesome ways for it.

Long entries are sooo underrated.
Pictures will be put here shortly.
