sooo, (going on as though there were not just a 4 month delay since the last time i've written) tonight i went to see 'light up night' downtown. there were lots of people and strollers (grr) and lights (duh!) and other christmas-y goodness. then, getting lost on the way to try to get to mt. washington, we found a very good spot to stop and watch the fireworks.
later, we went out to eat at philthy mcnasty's.

a good time was had by all... and by all, i mean all of matt, kristen, and i.
i can't wait til christmas! :)

now it's sleepy time, so that i will be able to get up to go shooting in the morning! ZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz....

long time gone...

2003-07-31T00:45:05Z

soooo yeah, i haven't added to this thing in forever, so here goes a very very short update on what i've been up to...
finished junior year
worked a couple weeks
went on cruise for rotc
workin more for a few weeks

yep, i'm that exciting.

more importantly, HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATIES!!!!!!!!!... i <3 you :)

new lj goodness...

2003-03-04T18:53:34Z

after many painstaking and stressful hours working on the new background (all done by katies <3 ), i now have a new, beautiful lj for you all to view.
i really like this picture too, i guess because i'm a hopeless romantic, and what's more hopeless or romantic (besides west side story), than romeo and juliet?

ah well, time to get going... i'm actually leaving the house today to do something fun! (minus the dentist appt.)

and can i just say... weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

i'm so exciting...

2003-03-03T05:13:30Z

this is the end of the first weekend of spring break '03. i got home on friday night around 10ish.
then i spent most of saturday at the wedding of a girl who's like a sister to me - perhaps i'll expand on this at some point... perhaps not.
and today i sat around the house all day, watching movies with my family until my sister went to the airport, then spent the rest of the evening doing a puzzle with my mama.

yes, that's right. i am the life of the party.

place comments here:

2003-02-27T04:25:09Z

hmm, don't mind if i do.

comment: my ancient civilizations teacher annoys me. besides the fact that she doesn't even teach - unless you call reading sentences out of the book to us as her "class notes" teaching- she appears to have no common sense. (i had a test today in this class which is 2.5 hours long. my teacher said we had 1 hour for the test, then, haha, somehow thought she would be able to teach for the other 1.5 hours. heh, right. as soon as i got done getting raped by the test, i was out of there quicker than a bunny. or something. along with 90% of the rest of the class. that'll learn her.)

however, this did allow me the time to go watch the IM basketball game, so all is ok.

trains...

2003-02-25T06:08:44Z

i hate trains.

i used to like them, and i have (and still do) travelled on them frequently. but after living right next to train tracks for several months now, i've come to hate them. it just seems to be a sound you can't ever get used to. helocopters, on the other hand, can somehow become so much a part of daily life, that they eventually become unnoticable. you'll be watching tv, and then realize you can't hear it so well anymore, which will be the only reason you even figure out there's a helocopter right outside the window.

eh, so maybe i don't hate trains. i don't like to hate anything. except, at times, my life. but whatevs. it's sleepy time. and i love sleepy time, because it's dreaming time...

nothin important...

2003-02-25T04:13:19Z

not sure what to write about. not in a very happy mood at the moment.
although, my girls and i did find a house for next year, which makes me happy. and it's really cheap too, which is awesome. it's a relief to have figured out where we're living, and also nice to know that we won't have to walk through anymore shit holes with scary people in them, watching us look through their apts, which probably 80% of the time included bongs on their living room tables.
at any rate, i still need to write some stupid outline for a paper tonight, which is due today, and today ends in fifty-eight minutes, so i better go do that.

random thoughts...

2003-02-24T01:39:34Z

i seem to do my best thinking while i'm in the shower. i guess that's why my showers are always so long.
so the other day, while in the shower, i started to wonder about something random, and i'll have to say, i'm still a little perplexed. here is what i was thinking:

let's just say i were to get onto jepoardy. and let's also assume that i get to the last round, without getting kicked off for having minus dollars. now, what if the final question was something like "what are the three rivers that flow through pittsburgh?" i know what they are, but you have to spell out the answer, so if i got the rivers correct, but spelled them wrong (it's some tricky spelling!), would i still win?

this is the kind of thing that keeps me up at night.

not really.

yup, i wasted time on this...

I am Radioactive Man!

You're a [wo]man of few words, not because you're the strong silent type, but because you're a fool who can't speak english. Nonetheless, your sexy body and bravary keep fans coming to the movies.

Which Simpsons Character are YOU?

sometimes...

2003-02-17T20:04:56Z

sometimes everything is good.

but sometimes, i wish i could just tell everyone to go to hell. then i realize that's mean, so i don't.

werd.

2003-02-16T22:00:47Z

so how has my weekend been, you ask?

good good, thanks for asking.

didn't do much of anything on valentine's day until favorite sister got home and we hung out and had a little somethin' to drink. and then we proceeded to get bombarded with scary banter, a failed break-dancing attempt, and a few free beers from some eighteen year old drunk boy (staying in his sister's apt upstairs while she was out getting drunk herself).
saturday was good too, including but not limited to: a girly movie, more hanging out and drinking, and other fun things.

and now i'm hungry, so it's time to go...

werd.

TIM is coming to p-burgh...

2003-02-14T03:44:27Z

because TIM mcgraw is coming to pittsburgh soon, here's a little tribute (one of many good tim songs) for one of the sexiest country singers ever...

Real Good Man...
girl you've never known no one like me,
up there in your high society,
they might tell you i'm no good,
girl they need to understand,
just who i am

i may be a real bad boy,
but baby i'm a real good man,
i may drink too much and play too loud,
hang out with a rough and rowdy crowd,
that don't mean i don't respect
my mama or my uncle sam,
yes sir, yes ma'am

i may be a real bad boy,
but baby i'm a real good man

i might have a reckless streak
at least a country mile wide,
if you're gonna run with me
it's gonna be a wild ride,
when it comes to lovin you
i've got velvet hands,
i'll show you how a real bad boy
can be a real good man

i'll take all the good times i can get,
i'm too young for growing up just yet,
ain't much i can promise you
except to do the best i can,
i'll be damned...

i <3 tim! :)

v-day tomorrow...

2003-02-14T03:02:13Z

this is me on valentine's day:

sad.

the wonders of p-burgh...

2003-02-11T22:04:54Z

sometimes i look around pittsburgh, and think, wow, this is a really pretty city, like last night for example as i was waiting for a bus by the cathedral. the snow was falling, the birds were chirping (not really), and all was right with the world...

this lasted for about 45 seconds, until some ass had to go and honk his car horn obnoxiously, like it would make the traffic part to let him pass, which just ruined it. thank you very much, obnoxious horn honker.
fifteen minutes later, i finally caught that bus.

i don't know either...

2003-02-11T04:58:15Z

cacamimi: dora if i were in a near-fatal car accident
cacamimi: and became a parapalegic
cacamimi: and lived with you at the time
cacamimi: and had no control of my bowels nor my limbs
cacamimi: would you wipe my ass when i shit my pants?
dlstar3: W.T.F.
dlstar3: hahahahahahhaa
cacamimi: LMAO
cacamimi: just testing the bounds of your love
cacamimi: LOL
cacamimi: oh shit it hurts
dlstar3: no, but i would get one mother f-in good nurse to do it for you
dlstar3: hahahahaha
cacamimi: DYING

after a really fun weekend - courtesy of justin :) - i'm now half-way through another monday. ok day thus far, nuthin special, although i did get out of nav early which is always a good thing. and now i'm kinda bored, and want a nap, but have to leave again in 20 min for my next (and last) class today... yay. hmm, my point being for this entry then is to say the following:

thanks to katies, my lj now has a hot new look and i <3 it.

i'm a winner.

2003-01-11T02:36:54Z

so it's friday night, and i'm a young, healthy, single girl... so what am i doing? being a fatty, sittin in my room and doin laundry. i know, it's a shocker that i'm still available.
in other news, as the first week of classes has just ended, i would like to just say that my schedule is awesome. and besides the fact that i don't have any books yet, or notebook paper for that matter, i think i'm off to a good start. i also have a date for the ball comin up, which makes me very very very happy. :)

hmm, yes. that is all. g'bye

a week in review...

2002-12-29T05:48:42Z

so i guess i've been slacking off on writing entries. i'm a horrible horrible person. hmm... ok, i'm over it.
a quick update on what i've been up to in the past week - cleaning the house, baking cookies, getting in the christmas spirit and whatnot (by avoiding the mall as much as possible), then enjoying christmas. since then, it has been more cooking and cleaning in preparation for my family's annual christmas party tomorrow.

as a side note, i would just like to say that people attempting to enter any etremely crowded places, like the mall for instance, with a baby stroller, should be kicked and told to go home.

weeeeeeeee!

2002-12-16T17:19:31Z

with minimal help from katies (i.e. she did everything including picking my name and password, haha), i now have my own lj! weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
however, i am html inept, and this style i have right now won't do. it just won't do at all. and knowing me, i'll probably end up spending more time trying to fix the background, then writing entires.
but none the less... i <3 lj!

but i <3 katie more!!! thanks :)
