day 4 (thursday nov. 19): thursday night in the stn office...hanging out with ashley and ben and laughing about the most ridiculous things...hanging up pictures of martin luther king...sometimes it stresses me out, yeah, but stn is the best thing i could ever have become involved with in college. i love the crazy times. :)

and we have stn bowling tonight...woo wooo. should be fun! there's also a basketball game tomorrow, and i have no classes at all next tuesday! and i go home on tuesday night for what is sure to be a fun thanksgiving break :]

life's good. <3

see? i already failed at posting every day. haha oh well.

happy meme!

day 2 (tuesday nov. 17): i got an 89 on my cognitive psych exam! i barely studied which made it all the more amazing (i seriously thought i was going to get a D on it).

day 3 (wednesday nov. 18): going to the basketball game to play with pep band :). it was weird to me, because i was the person who had been there the longest, and that made me feel so out of place. i felt like the only person cheering, or screaming when the other team made a foul shot. i wanted so badly to yell the random cheers we've done in pep band in years past (like NUMBERRRRR ELEVENNNNN or YOUUUU TRAVELED! or TRAMPOLINES!!!)...but i would have felt so awkward. blah. we've got to get these newbies learning the ways of the pep band!

well that made it sound awkward and depressing, but it was still pep band, and that makes it amazing every time. :)


in not so happy news, one of my roommates has the swine. D: she said she cloroxed everything in the apartment, and she got sent home, but who knows. i'm not so worried about the severity of the flu itself. i'm just concerned because i can NOT be missing a whole week of work, classes, and stn to recuperate from this silly flu if i get it. oh well! i'll be fine, right.

i'm going to try this again, because when i tried to do it a year ago it failed. haha.

The rules are that for 8 days you have to post something that made you happy that day. Tag 8 people to do the same.

day 1:
spending time in the STN office, procrastinating on doing my history paper and laughing hysterically at all of the insanity there.

this year we really got a great group of dedicated freshmen who make everything so much more fun. one guy in particular, ben...he is hard to describe without knowing him in person, but everything he says is absolutely hilarious (completely unintentionally!). we even have a facebook group dedicated to quotes from him. this is what i love about STN, and why i'm so happy to be involved with a group of people who are just really cool people overall. :)

i tag anyone who wants to do it. happy memes are good! i need things like this whenever i'm feeling down...it makes me focus on the many positive things i have going in my life right now instead of the like, one negative thing/person. yknowww. :D

i love my friends, and STN, and my new cell phone. i'm happy.

this song IS my life.

i don't want to get over you
i guess i could take a sleeping pill
and sleep at will
and not have to go through what i go through
i guess i should take prozac, right,
and just smile all night at somebody new
somebody not too bright
but sweet and kind
who would try to get you off my mind
i could leave this agony behind
which is just what i'd do if i wanted to
but i don't want to get over you.

'cause i don't want to get over love.
i could listen to my therapist,
pretend you don't exist
and not have to dream of what i dream of.
i could listen to all my friends
and go out again
and pretend it's enough.
or i could make a career of being blue
i could dress in black and read camus
smoke clove cigarettes and drink vermouth
like i was 17
that would be a scream,
but i don't want to get over you.

What's the most-played song in your music library?


View 2053 Answers



"mr. moran" by the mighty mighty bosstones.

i'm not too sure how that came to be...for the past 2+ years, it was always "bling (confession of a king)" by the killers. but no big deal! they're both amazing songs.



i've had a crazy 10 days at school. some of it has been really shitty, some of it has been amazing. it's good to be here.


i did not see the killers on friday night. they covered one of my other favorite bands: the cars. I COULD HAVE BEEN THERE, YOU GUYS ;_; fuuuuuuuck

i'm back at school. i'm so happy to be here. my apartment is super nice, and having my own room FTW. i'll post pics at some point. :3


so rob and i hung out tonight for like 5 hours. and everything that i worried about all summer pretty much doesn't matter. we're best friends...(with benefits :p) and we've been best friends for a while now. he wants to be close with me. he still cares about me as i do him. who cares if we're not in an "official" relationship?

nothing has changed and i couldn't be happier. =)


i have to wake up at 7 to go to a training session for howie's helpers at 8:30 in which i will learn...everything that i already know from the past two years of helping freshies move in. YEAH AWESOME

"those are all very beautiful words
but actions speak louder, in case you haven't heard."

i'm just crossing my fingers that i'm doing my usual amount of overthinking things, which means that things will be a lot better than i expect them to be when i go back. no, they won't be the same as they used to be - but they won't be bad. we'll be happy. we'll make things happen.
------
23 days until i go back to uha! i can't believe it's august already...this summer has flown by without me even realizing it.

my last day of work for the summer is going to be next friday, the 14th. i think i'll actually be sad about it. i'm going to miss the kids going to kindergarten, some of whom i've seen grow up for three summers now. it's weird.

but it's going to be a good school year. i will make it so. social life ahoy! i hope. :D
------
i need to buy a new digital camera. i can't live with the broken screen on mine anymore.

i also need a new phone. my battery barely holds a charge anymore and the keys are dying. my family's 2 year contract is up this month so we can get new ones before i go back to school :D i'm still eying the samsung propel because it looks cool. and i want a qwerty keyboard so i can update my twitter even more easily with random crap :D :D


i'm doing my best to stay happy. life is pretty okay. i hope you all are, too.

i faillll at updating. but this is almost the same as last summer, minus seeing rob every 2 weeks.

i wake up around 7, go to work at 8 or 8:30, and play with preschoolers all morning. i take a one hour lunch break with my mom (usually), and play with preschoolers some more. i come home at 5 and either eat dinner with the family, or take a nap and eat dinner later on. i sit around on the computer until 11 or 12, when i go to sleep. on the weekends, i do almost nothing. lather, rinse, repeat.

as you can see, i have NOTHING to update about.

i've been doing well, though. i'm happy. rob and i are still talking online when he's not busy, and he's given me hope for the future. i know that whether we get back together or not, we'll still be friends. that's the best thing i could ask for =)

and i hung out with bill on monday for the first time in almost a year :] we went out to eat and walked on the beach. it was fun. i hope i can see him again before he has to go back to alabama.

40 days until i go back to school!! my goodness. i have no idea where this summer went. not that i mind...i'm always looking forward to getting back to my home. <3

meme with questions from [info]cristi_is_here!

1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me."
2. I will respond by asking you five questions. I get to pick the questions.
3. You will post the answers to the questions (and the questions themselves) on your blog or journal.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview others in the same post.

1. What's on your mind at this very moment?
not a lot, haha - just hoping that my friend bill will come online so we can chat, and thinking about how much i love this song. "got to let go 'til the morning comes, whooaaa" <3

2. Name three things that are within your reach right now.
my cell phone, my deodorant, and my polka dot umbrella

3. Who is your favorite actor?
this kind of changes a lot based on what shows or movies i'm currently into, haha...right now, i'm going to go with emily deschanel, because she's absolutely gorgeous and is amazing as dr. brennan on bones; and will arnett, because gob bluth is hilariously sleazy, arrested development is one of the greatest shows ever, and his voice makes me hottt.

4. How many siblings do you have?
one - my little brother, cameron. he will always be my little brother, even though he's almost 19 and considerably taller than me :P

5. Where did you grow up?
the same place i live now - ansonia, connecticut. it's...okay. just okay. haha.

i'm back in connecticut, much to my dismay. i really loved michigan, and i made a bunch of new friends also from CT, and no work for 4 days omg ftw. everyone i met was so incredibly friendly, which i am not used to, coming from new england where so many people are really rude about everything. omg i want to relocate. i'm not even kidding. ilu, upper midwest.

and i know [info]ivyleague won't agree with me, but people from michigan have the best accents ever! omg they are so cute hahaha. wisconsin accents are pretty awesome too. i'm going to work on giving myself one just because i love them.

the only thing that sucks right now is that my left ear is still completely clogged and i feel really floaty and dizzy and like i'm bobbing around in turbulence. :( i absolutely adore flying, but the aftereffects are really unpleasant. hopefully it will go away after i sleep, since i have work at 8 (blah). at least it's only a one day work week for me, since we get friday off. woo.

oh so i bought a vera bradley bag! the print is capri melon and it is SO me! i got it for 40 bucks - it was on clearance since the style is from like 2007...but idgaf about what style is popular haha. i'm not used to spending so much on a purse but i am SO happy i did. it is the cutest little tote ever.

so now it's bedtime! i will post pictures from grand rapids asap. :)

(12:10:02 AM) rob: so i didnt think tonight was awkward i think it went well. i want you to know that i do love you always and that if i seemed cold it was only because seeing you tonight was hard and i didnt want to be upset at your house
(12:10:24 AM) rob: <3

things are looking up. i have hope. we will see.
-----

so i kinda forgot to post about this at all but i'm going to grand rapids, michigan from tomorrow to next wednesday!!

it's for church stuff, haha...general synod, which i went to in 2007 when it was held in hartford. these are my pictures from it...i had a lot of fun!

it's basically a big church meeting with people from all over the country...there's a lot of boring stuff and voting and things i have to go to, which sucks...but i'll be with a bunch of people my own age and i know a couple of them already from silver lake. and there will be some fun stuff on saturday in the city, and i'm sure i'll find ways to enjoy myself. i'm excited! :D

i get to take two planes tomorrow. hartford to cleveland, then cleveland to grand rapids. eek. the flights aren't long - an hour and 15 minutes to ohio, then 30 minutes to grand rapids. i'm nervous but excited, you know. i'll be fine once i get in the air haha.

so yeah!! i will try and update from grand rapids, if possible. most all of you guys are following me on twitter already (@allegra0) which i'm sure i'll be using a lot. have a good week you guys! <3
