last night

I had a really good time last night
Just thought I would write that down somewhere in case i eventually forgot.
a really, really good time

I am such a fan of birthdays
not going to lie

I'm happy
and now i have to do homework

:)

social experiment

So impromptu beach trip last night was 89% successful
100% if you count the fact that we did in fact make it up there
and back, and the beach itself was absolutely gorgeous
:)
the -11% came from awkward and tense situations there and back
but whatever. things happen
overall it was good
got back home around 6:30 this morning.
4 hours of sleep :)
got a new piercing today!
my traigus (dont know about the spelling)
it's pretty cool...trying to get used to it
Christina and Miranda both like it
Sam's looks really cool

hmmm
in Broadway tonight at 7:30. Really looking foward to that
so much homework to do...not really thinking about doing it
Completely unmotivated.

Think I am going to pull out the real journal now.
Because there are always going to be some things that one wants to
reflect on and remember, but the world as whole does not need to remember....

I am glad Hope went with us to the beach
It's nice to have someone to talk to
although i'll be sure not to make it a habit
you know what Gibbs says about secrets...

but i also hear that the longer you hold them the heavier they get
I suppose i am doing my own social experiment with the two theories
:)

drama, angst, jealousy

but still calm on the surface. lol

I love how Morgan initiates impromptu parties
I love how brownies bring everyone together
I love how Sam knows every word to the Beauty and the Beast songs <3
I love Beauty in the Beast
I love AnnaMay's random comments, the incredulous looks Miranda throws out, and Lizbets laugh :)

(*side note- Fantastic Mr Fox is a cuss good movie. i definitely recommend it)

I love days without shoes, the second act of Into the Woods and lazy afternoons


I hate that my laptop radomly overheats and burns my legs
I hate that everyone lives in different buildings and next year will be even farther away
I hate that i somehow messed up my hip joint between last night and this morning...
I hate, hate, hate feeling insecure and self-conscious

update (ooooh)

It's been a whole month and i havent written anything! not about spring break, my birthday or anything. sheesh... ok, so semi-update. it will just be random thoughts and won't cover everything, obviously. tell you what, when i write my spring break reflection i will post that and maybe it will help compensate for not spilling the spring break story.

It's Easter weekend! Easter sunday to be exact. It's been a great weekend. I had plans with Christina to go to the beach on Friday, but that didnt exactly work out...
I ended up spending 3 or so hours at the theater waiting for her to get off work because EVERYONE else was at work too. Seriously when did all my friends become so productive? Anyway the theater has been under major renovation. Kennedy definitely has adult ADD with his decorating schemes, but it's interesting.

I listened to some of Bailey's stories and got caught up on all the theater gossip. Watched three first graders play hopscotch around the lobby for a good 45 minutes. :)

Christina got off work and we went to this art show that was in someone's apartment? Not sure somewhere off of Irby street. It was slightly awkward not knowing anyone there, but the paintings were pretty incredible. Wanted to stay for some of the actual performances, but looked like they were never going to get around to it, so we met up with Lauren to go 4 wheeling.

Went four-wheeling at chris's (yep called you Chris again...whatcha gonna do? :p ) dad's place. Tons and tons of land...horses, big tractors and fun toys...four wheeler, golf cart and motorcycle :D

Anyway Lauren drove the four wheeler and it turned into a little bit of mud-bogging. Not too bad but more than i was expecting lol

Then we stood outside and talked to Christina's dad for a while. He's pretty cool. TONS of stories.

And that was pretty much the end of the night...it was a good time :)

So my birthday party with the cousins...omygosh i love these women. We went to Olive Garden first and before we had even left the restaurant we were laughing so hard we could barely finish a sentence. We stopped by grandma's house...can't remember why, think it is because we couldnt decide on a bar...
Anyway we convinced grandma to take pictures with us. The way we were laughing she probably thought we were already ridiculously drunk even though we hadnt had anything at that point. We went out afterwards to some "redneck bar" rachels words not mine....in Coward. Shannons car was the only car in the parking lot, everyone else had HUGE trucks. We were a little overdressed as well and attracted some attention when we walked in. Oh well...got birthday shots again! told you i was going to milk it for all it's worth. Played pool with Rachel whose game definitely deteriorated as she continued to drink...and i may have cheated once or twice. Anyway to sum it up my cousins are freaking awesome...AND i was able to get up at 6:30 the next morning to go to Charleston with my parents. Yes...they were all jealous lol

And a question for everyone out there

Have you ever known a couple who seemed like they didnt belong together at all? I am thinking of two friends and one of them is an incredibly awesome person. Passionate and full of life and she likes to laugh and sometimes be silly. She has dreams and likes to go on adventures. And she is dating someone who the only thing (it seems to be the only thing anyway) that they have in common is that they like each other. And while that is an excellent thing to have in common, it doesnt seem to make up for everything else. I mean..to put it bluntly and honestly...she is a bitch. Not always..but often enough to make the relationship stressful and frustrating and i think it's sad :(
I just don't want dreams to be crushed because the other person doesnt believe in them, or thinks they are stupid. i think that everyone should be in a relationship with someone who supports them. Someone who they can have fun with, and someone who wants them to be happy.
