so last night i went to the pink floyd laser light show with brad, michelle, and jon. It was a good time, and i'm really glad we're going to the doobie brothers on tuesday.
art fair this morning. i just about fainted. we're going back tomorrow when it's SLIGHTLY more reasonable. and then i get to go to work. again. like every day of my life.
i really really really miss karen. alot. it's nice to have someone to talk to when you need them, yknow? and life without a best friend isn't much of a life at all.
maybe i should drive up and kidnap her....
;).right now i'm kinda:  contemplative |

sorry it's been awhile. i'll start with monday.
monday brad and i went to red oaks waterpark. it was so relaxing to act like a little kid again, running up the stairs of the extra-huge waterslide and floating over the rapids in the wavepool. Only i got insanely sunburned. oh well. He worked that night. I visited with mommy.
slept until two yesterday. Went to work. Watched the game. I know, i lead an exciting life.
we went to great lakes today, and i bought XM satellite radio for my car. i'm so pumped. it's being installed as we speak.
my emerson application is almost done, and pepperdine is about halfway finished. I really want to get as many done as i can before the summer's over. Northwestern's app is available mid-july, and emory's is august 1st. It'll be great to only have to trudge through missouri, UNC, and columbia once the year gets underway. i'm going to be mega-busy. just call me Ms. Extracirricular....
lola's great. it's like watching a baby grow up, but in hyperdrive. she's getting a little bit bigger every day.
i promise i'll update more from now on. But it's hard to keep promises over the summer...right now i'm kinda:  calm my ipod's jammin out to: anna nalick- breathe |

so now things are startingto feel like summer. everyone's flown back to their respective homes, and the basement at brenda's is free of air beds.
i miss ariel and justin. and everyone else.
but at least now i can finally feel like this burden is lifted, and i can act 17 again. no more impressing relatives or acting incredibly sad. i can be semi-sad and still live life. that's the way to should be.
i have three BBG meetings this week, 15 hours of work, and endless hours poolside. it's a comfortable mix of responsibility and relaxation.
and everything's gonna be okay now. yeah. it is.right now i'm kinda:  okay my ipod's jammin out to: rise against- swing |

closure came to me today.
not just with grandma bea. but with my own grandma faye. I couldnt remember going to the cemetery when she died five years ago, even though my mom and aunt keep telling me i put a rose on her grave. I didn't remember a thing about it, but i remembered every other aspect of the day she died and the funeral and all the "old friends" pinching my cheeks at shiva. but it really bothered me that i couldn't remember going to see her buried.
i found a bit of closure with both of them when they buried grandma bea. even if i didn't know her as long as many others did, i knew her just as well. being able to put a cap on the week was relieving.
i don't want to talk about it alot more right now. maybe sometime later. but it's still too fresh. there's still too many siblings and family friends and children still greiving. Closure doesn't bring a solution. just an end.
shiva again alot tomorrow and tuesday.right now i'm kinda: greiving |

brad's grandmother died tonight. she was very sick. we were all real close. she was like my grandma since mine died when i was young. i miss her.
the funeral is sunday. shiva goes through wednesday.
i hate shiva. it's more depressing each day it goes on.
i miss her.
it's going to be a rough week. |

the concert was mucho exciting.
i saw joey, hantler, lutz, sara, marissa, ilana, julie, heather, and a bunch more random people. and i saw keane. who i happen to be obsessed with. i was surprised at the crowd for their show, because they are just such a different type of band. in their own world. but it seemed as if every group of people was respresented in the crowd... from drunks to stoners to jocks to little girls to parents to anyone. It made me so happy to see such a diverse group of individuals coming together to just enjoy music.
i can't believe i have to go back to school tomorrow. i haven't been since last wednesday.
less than two weeks until summer...
and i love alexis zimberg.

first off- people, stop leaving hate messages on my comments board. it really hurts my feelings when all i want to do is talk about what's on my mind.
tonight was a great night. besides work, which is just boring. anyways, scott called me around 10. said he was at a bonfire, and i should check it out. i met him, jess, haley, jeff, sean, and the rest of the NF '03 class at audrey and sarah's. brad came over around 11. jared got there around 12. we just sat around, roasted marshmellows, threw stuff into the fire, smoked a few bowls, and talked about everything from colleges to journalism to movie references. jared was actually nice to me, which doesn't happen very often. And for once, i felt like i really had something in common with everyone, and could talk about anything. it didn't matter if we were 16, 17, 19, 20, or 22. we all could have a good time together.
the only difference between us high-schoolers and them was that at 1230, when i was getting ready to head home, they were talking about how early it was. i wish i could have stayed longer like everyone else, but instead i left at 1. even so, i'm really glad i have such a great group of friends.
chapter pool party tomorrow!! i'm so excited to hang out with the girls for awhile.
prom is in 4 days. i can't believe it. our party bus and dinner tables and post-prom plans are all set. all that's left to do is have fun.
but what am i supposed to do with my hair?!?
oh. one more thing. please vote for me. i want it so badly, and i'm cool. so yeah.

AP english tomorrow and i can't sleep. i'm stressing out way too much over this.
i'm not taking the SAT on saturday. i just really don't want to. karen's home, we saw suessical today. it was soo cute. i really want to make the musical next year... it always looks like so much fun.
brad's home tomorrow. but maybe he should just stay there. this whole time-to-do-thing-i-wanna-do thing has worked out okay, and he doesn't seem to have any indications of missing me whatsoever. go figure.
it's may! i love the springtime. hopefully it'll get warmer soon and the fun can begin...
TV time.

my mom is officially incredibly wierd.
she is sleeping on the couch until one in the morning, because she decided to put in a brisket at nine. even though she knows they take HOURS. she has to take it out in like 3 and a half hours. so now i can faintly hear the CNN headline news and her snoring. and she'll be cranky as hell tomorrow, because she always complains that sleeping on the couch "does your body half the good you get from sleeping in your warm bed."
crazy.
