ness and jeff are basically back together. fml. i have 3 potential jobs at the moment, so that's kinda cool. i'm ahead on all my school work. i've just been feeling like shit and not sleeping, which sucks. season 6 of house premiered last night. it was amazing. just hugh for 2 hours <3 i love that man. he's so freaking gorgeous! ryan gosling's band is playing in nyc on the october 15th. i hope it's not 21+, cause then steph and i are totally going. otherwise, not much going on here. i'll probably be up till 2 am and i have to wake up at 6 to leave by 7:15. then i have class from 9:10-10. i'll probably hang around school for a while. i'm meeting becky at columbia at 12:15, and we're hanging out till she has to go back to class, then maybe i can finally continue reading on the road. after that, i have class from 4 to 7. then i can finally go home. i'll probably start (hopefully finish) my sociology paper so i don't have to do it thursday morning. no school thursday though. i'm getting my hair trimmed, so it'll grow faster, but i think it's just gonna make me be in this awkward not quite past my shoulders yet stage. oh well. |

so i hung out with jeff yesterday. we had a lot of fun. we attempted to watch the last episode of king of the hill and jim breuer, but hunter's wifi was being stupid, so we went and hung out on the uws. then we went to the awesome theatre in white plains and saw 9. really depressing movie, but it was also really good. he paid for me for everything. i'm so proud of him; he has a job and medicaid. i don't get how he doesn't see that we're perfect for each other *sigh* |

so school has been a major pain in the arse. i hate all of my classes except world of music. my professor is awesome; i'm actually bringing in my gogol bordello cd in for him to borrow tomorrow. i've been up on the balcony a lot more. henry's always bringing in weed. i really wanna get my hands on some bc bud. friday will be my last day smoking cigs (hopefully). i finally got the first season of holmes on homes on dvd! i went to tim hortons last week and ordered a double-double; people in america don't know what that is and that makes me sad. tomorrow jeff's meeting me at school tomorrow. i'm so excited i can't concentrate on doing work! better stock up on newports tomorrow morning before class for him p |

i've decided that I'm going to quit smoking for rosh hashanah. i don't smoke when i'm not in school, but when i am in school i smoke way too much. i'm gonna stick to weed. still having tons of trouble sleeping, but hopefully that will stop eventually. i'm going to start eating really healthy tomorrow and hopefully the quitting smoking, the exercising and the healthy eating will help my asthma, improve my lung capacity/cough, and make me a healthier person in general. that would be nice. |

school's been okay. i love my music class! the professor plays awesome music and even played chameleon today! tuesday, i saw inglourious basterds with conor. amazing movie! best jewish revenge against the germans movie lol. i got some bud from dante the other day. smoked it last night. it was amazing! today, i went to buy a pack of cigs, and the guy told me i dropped a $20 the other day, so he gave me a $20 with my change. sweet! when we got home, we went to the westchester mall. i got a pair of uggs at nordstroms, and the murad acne system thingy. hopefully, that will work, since nothing else has. |

we were supposed to go to albany on sunday night and then massachusetts on monday, but my grandpa had trouble breathing so we had to cancel. true blood was sick. jeff was ready to kill himself on sunday night. he told me, "sam
i love you
i have done nothing but cause you grief or funds or whatever
i love you
but i am gone now
this is the night"
i started crying and freaked out. he's okay though. i feel like we're soul mates, and he just doesn't see it. i tried not to have feelings for him, but i can't help it. we were supposed to hang out today, but i have yoga and i'd rather do that then see him and ness. yesterday was ali's birthday. we went to city limits for breakfast and then went to see the ugly truth. it was a really good movie and gerard butler is gorgeous. after that i went to petland and bought 2 new fishies. i also got the house to start working again! we went to the cheesecake factory for dinner. it was really fun. |

so the date with aleksey was meh. we watched the whole nine yards, but he smells horrible. i'm kinda liking dan right now. i hate falling for my best friends. i've been hanging out with jeff again. we went to see harry potter on saturday and g-force today and hung out on the upper west side. i spoke to dan on the phone for a bit today. i finally got a new bed yesterday. i haven't slept in it much though. yesterday i fell asleep at 2 and i first got home at 10 tonight. i'm making a pizza now and watching into the wild. i was supposed to call dan back from the house phone, but he got talking to some girl at a bar. last week of work this week. it makes me sad. i need to start looking for a job for during the year. still no clavicle piercings yet. hopefully soon. sara said she'd go with me :] |

i'm not quite sure what to do anymore. i can't afford to get my own place. i'm applying to ryerson again, columbia, nyu, and the university of toronto, but i don't think i stand a chance at getting into any of those schools. everybody laughs at me for wanting to move to toronto, but it doesn't seem stupid to me; it feels like home. i kinda wanna give up on the whole music industry dream. i'd love it more than anything, but it just doesn't seem like it's going to happen. i have my connections, but they don't help me. early childhood education is plausible and i already have tons of experience in it. my friends...i don't know about them anymore. i've hardly seen anyone this summer and summer will be over soon. i haven't lost any weight. i started my diet today. i really want to get to my goal weight by spring. i haven't worn shorts or a tank top in years and i'd love to be able to do that again. i've also been thinking about getting clavicle piercings. i email brian decker and hopefully it will all work out. right now, i'm writing essays for the universities and reading the driver's manual. i'd like to get my permit within the next few weeks. i really hope everything gets better. aleksey wants to take me on a picnic this week. maybe that will cheer me up :] |

Amazing! I got in early because of my presale ticket. I got the last wristband for MSL and got to hang out by the buses, and where I met Dallas, Tim from Underoath, and Anthony from Bayside. Alexisonfire's set was amazing, but the only new song they played was "Young Cardinals" :[ I got two awesome Alexis shirts. I was the first person to meet them at the signing because of the wristbands. Dallas was great again and the rest of the guys were sweet except Wade. Wade is a dick. I had an amazing day and now I'm home and everything is back to normal. I need to get out of this house so fucking bad. |

i haven't had my computer for a while. my hard drive was fried. i took it to a place to try to salvage all of my stuff, but they couldn't do it, so now all my documents, music, and pictures are gone. i haven't really gone out for a week or two. i saw year one, which was awful, and the hangover, which was awesome, with ali. otherwise i've just been watching tv and reading. i really miss toronto. a little more every day. i really need to get out of the house, but my friends suck and bail every time. i also need to move out, but that won't happen for a while. i need money first. i saw meghan was on myspace today. made me happy. she imed me while i was at that cpr course and i felt horrible that she was offline by the time i was able to use my phone. i miss her terribly. she's one of the few good people left out there. i hope she answers my comments so we hang out. anyway, i'm gonna go make use of my computer. |

haven't updated in a while. i wound up seeing kristiana that thursday and she got me sculpey in 30 different colors. i gauged my ears until my right ear was at 4g and my left was a 8g, but they wouldn't budge, and i got frustrated, so i took 'em out. i'm starting again. right ear is at 8g, left is at 10g. i passed math and weather and climate! b's in everything except for weather and climate, in which i got a c, but i wasn't expecting to do well this semester anyway. i took my weather and climate final last tuesday. it started at 1:45, and i was out at 2:10. i met up with kristen, we ate and then we headed to port authority. the bus ride to toronto was almost 11 hours. it was the bus ride from hell. everyone on the bus was sick with some sort of cold/allergies, i got really nauseous after eating a parfait from mcdonalds at 1 am, and neither kristen nor myself could sleep. getting into canada wasn't so bad, minus the interrogation lol. we got to toronto at 6 am. we went to tim hortons, bought cigarettes, and chilled in our hotel for the rest of the day. we went to see dallas at massey hall that night. he was amazing, as usual. we got back to the hotel around midnight and we got up at 7 because i had a 9 o'clock enrollment appointment at york. it was over an hour away from the city and i hated it. i'm going to stay at hunter for one more semester and apply to ryerson (again), u of t, and some other schools. after that we got our nails done and chilled at the hotel and watched trailer park boys. it was so cool to watch it on tv. the next day we went shopping and out drinking. it was so awesome to be able to drink legally somewhere! i also found kinder eggs in the 7-11. we had to check out of the hotel at 12 on saturday. we went to the much music studio and hung out around there. the bus ride back sucked as well. it's nice to sleep in my own bed and be in my own house, but i really miss toronto. i spent all day monday and yesterday doing laundry. today, i subbed for meri and worked with my mom. her kids are adorable, but they all have a ridiculous amount of learning disabilities and are not mentally stable. whatever, it's money and cute kids. it was supposed to be my last day with jezra, but i needed to sub. i think she's mad at me, and i feel horrible about it, but what can i do? i helped her out quite a bit. i didn't get paid. in fact, it cost me time and money to get to her. anyway, i'm beat, so until next time... |
