mood: self-assured
you know, i think i can do this college thing.

and there are so many things i want to say, and so many moments i want to capture, but i just guess i'll have to start remembering things.



and i'd say i'm done with livejournal, and i probably am, but who knows. i will surely keep an eye on the friends page, perhaps once a week or so.


and i miss you.

joy.

two things about college:
1, i got my roommate today, her name is camryn kraus and she's from east amherst, new york. i don't know where that is.

and 2, i'm really going to miss people like this:

"si-mon" [11:48 P.M.]: well i gotta go. Joy, this is the last time we shall speak for what might be a long while
"si-mon" [11:48 P.M.]: so it is time for me to be sentimental
"si-mon" [11:49 P.M.]: ok?
"si-mon" [11:49 P.M.]: *also i'm wicked high
"ME MOFO" [11:50 P.M.]: haha
"ME MOFO" [11:50 P.M.]: okay!
"si-mon" [11:50 P.M.]: you...
"si-mon" [11:50 P.M.]: are...
"si-mon" [11:50 P.M.]: AWESOME!!!
"ME MOFO" [11:51 P.M.]: haha
"si-mon" [11:51 P.M.]: i have never met someone so nice, and so friendly and alive
"ME MOFO" [11:51 P.M.]: aww!
"si-mon" [11:51 P.M.]: every time we chilled i had a great time
"si-mon" [11:51 P.M.]: and i would like to officially apologize for being a whiny little bitch sometimes
"si-mon" [11:52 P.M.]: but seriously, count how many people have laughed uncontrollably at ur house and been held upside by six guys while taking a massive hit
"si-mon" [11:52 P.M.]: so u must admit, we've had some good times
"ME MOFO" [11:52 P.M.]: some hella good times
"si-mon" [11:53 P.M.]: and i know that wherever you go, u'll bring hapiness to everyone you meet and gets the awesome chance to get to know you
"si-mon" [11:53 P.M.]: the only real piece of advice i can give is this
"si-mon" [11:54 P.M.]: NEVER compromise in the things that matter most to you. Because those are the things that you will always have, no matter what gets taken away from you
"si-mon" [11:54 P.M.]: PEACE, LOVE, AND AMICI
"ME MOFO" [11:54 P.M.]: awww
"ME MOFO" [11:54 P.M.]: simon i <3 you
"ME MOFO" [11:54 P.M.]: i promise the minute i get home we'll chill and smoke a lot of really good upstate pot
"ME MOFO" [11:54 P.M.]: pinky swear
"si-mon" [11:54 P.M.]: digital pinkyswear
"si-mon" [11:55 P.M.]: i'm out. have an awesome rest of summer and an awesome move to college

mood: drunk... and piratey?
today, i...

went to bed around 4 AM,
woke up just after 1 PM,
watched tv all afternoon (entourage! sex and the city! oz!) to avoid the heat,
got the mail, which included my new baby bong from amsterdam (grasscity.com; the customs label said it was an "acrylic pen and gift set"), so clearly i had to christen her,
took elaine to urban outfitters,
met jess for dinner at pearl's,
got drunk on cheap white wine,
met liz f, hannah, and friend giulia,
got more drunk on daiquiris and piƱa coladas,
went out to abbey's pub with elaine,
met attractive bartender,
met sketchy pothead,
met child star buzz from home alone,
spent night drinking free shots,
got hot bartender's number,
took cab home at 3:30 AM.



good night my babies!

  have you ever been so thirsty that you lost yourself in trying to figure out how to drink a can of pepsi on the subway floor without the people around thinking you're a total freak show?

thirty seconds later, have you realized that this means you are a total freak show?

mood: tired
i just spent a beautiful day at the beach with...
kat, josh, kelsey, jon, roberto, jane, rob, james anthony, eric p, annabeth, david b, dusty, tj, mallory, cito, graham, and probably more people i'm forgetting.

i finally got to fire island! only a month and a half late (for the prom after-party). it was worth it.


BUT and this is a huge but I LOST MY D&G SUNGLASSES AND I DON'T THINK I CAN EVER BE HAPPY AGAIN WITHOUT MY BABIES ON MY FACE I WANT TO DIE.

pps, the alfred kid who came to see siren with me was LAME LAME LAME. and ugly. sucker.

i just got back from an amazing dinner with roberto and stevey, two of my favorite people ever. two appetizers, two entrees, a coke, a rum-filled drink for me, and a mousse cake (that we were tricked into eating and paying for! honest!) came to $130. i put in $10. heart.

then i dragged them to the barnes & noble around the corner and bought a confederacy of dunces by john kennedy toole, the alienist by caleb carr, and mythology: timeless tales of gods and heroes by edith hamilton. i love summer reading.

  oh my god, do you all remember old SNL? how fucking QUALITY it was? i'm watching an old episode with mike myers, adam sandler, david spade, rob schneider, chris farley... it's just so good.

i want to go to the mates of state, spoon, and stars (i think) concert on coney island next weekend. who's up for it?

mood: baked
music: r. kelly's in the closet
has anyone seen the new r. kelly video, "trapped in the closet"? OH MY GOD. it's amazing. it's half an hour of pure perfect entertainment. my mouth is still hanging open.

otherwise... i'm up the country house this whole week; julie is leaving tomorrow and people are coming up friday, so some of you folk are welcome to come up in the interim.


things are hard to describe. i don't know what i'm doing with myself--this period between high school and college is scary. mostly in that i feel so aimless, and it's something i've never really experienced before, especially because this is my first summer home in 9 years. so i've been smoking a lot--at one point last week, three of us went through $100+ in pot in a 24-hour period--and spending a lot of time with friends.


ps, i love talking to (julie says: JOOOOLIE!!!) (nein) people i'll be at college with next year. but i want the goddamn facebook and alfred needs to send me my goddamn email!
pps, i'm stoned.

mood: loved
music: "he war" - cat power
pre-prescript: i got a 12:01 birthday call. i love knowing someone was watching the clock for me.
prescript: wireless router and new ipod speakers... i feel so pampered.



begin.

can male-female relations ever be purely platonic? there has to always be some longing, even just a little, on someone's part, doesn't there? my goal for college: find someone to fill in my best friend's shoes. all i need is someone i can call up for a cuddle. just the comfort of physical contact.



today i am 18 and a high school graduate.

hold my hand, i'm scared.

prom 05.   
05:58pm 10/06/2005
 
mood: i hate julie kostina
prom was... interesting. boat ride, check. food and dancing, check. getting drunk in a limo, check. getting to afterparty... nein. we spent four hours circling around and around in a 10-mile radius trying to get to fire island. and then we did, and it was 5:30 AM, so we sat on the beach and then came back to the city.

but getting ready with julie was nice, and pre-prom at jonathon's was nice, and coke in the bathroom was nice, and champagne in the limo was nice. it was AMAZING to see all my normal beautiful friends looking goooorgeous in their dresses and tuxes. the minute people start sending me pictures i will put them up here. then breakfast at jane's and then senior breakfast at school--both good--and wandering the halls. i haven't really gotten my sleep back yet so i'm exhausted.



dylan called this morning (i pressed "silence" so i could sleep) and i'm not calling back because he never returns my calls. so HA.

my stepfather just threw a fit and is now hiding out in the bathroom. (yes, he slammed the door on his way in.)

otherwise, i've started filling out college forms! skeery! choosing residence halls, meal plans, all that jazz. it's really starting to hit that we're going to college. it's a really bad/good feeling. i can't think about it for too long or i go all shaky.

prom is so soon! i have a date, a dress, a table... meaning i still need shoes, hair & makeup plans, and a limo. my potheads punked out, so i'm on the lookout for some limo-less folk. do you like me? caitlin? simon? louisa? yes? let's talk about it.




ps. i can get paid $100 an hour working at foot fetish parties. how bad of an idea is this? (and yes, i am serious... that is so much money!) also, if you have any good pictures of me, please send them. i need something nice for this app.

pps. omgz lyke cl1ck plz

kids, here is my advice.

one -- DO NOT pregame for a pregame. it's just excessive.
two -- DO NOT have any faith in a fruity gay man... especially if it's joshua chak.
three -- DO have an absolutely fabulous best friend who will come rescue you when you're stranded on the street, drunk and sick and scared



and now, i have tons of work to do.

hello my lovelies.

things are good. i spent the weekend college visiting (good) and trying to make important decisions (bad). i still don't know where i'm going. i really want someone to decide for me... and happen to make the perfect decision. any offers?

otherwise, the weather is lovely--i got to wear my spring break skirt today!--and today was free cone day at ben & jerry's. anne and i got some ice cream and then sat on a public balcony in her building, enjoying the breeze and the city. mmm.

tomorrow's 420 (and the birthday of two fabulous people i know). celebrate!

ps, if you aren't watching scrubs right now, you should be!

pps, me! )
