its cold.

i have been told i dont update enough. and from those whoknow i have secret blogs "shhh. dont tell" that i should cross post.

see, the reason i dont cross post is bc, then its not all SECRET.

anyways. 4 blogs is too much for anyone. any ways. updates.
lets see.
going to new york for new years. yeah times square.
its cold out.
i hate raking leaves. they suck.
havent had to shovel snow yet. not sure how i feel about that. ill let you know when it happens.

school is good. i like the job. i really miss the bond i had with the students. thats what i miss right now. every thing else, same. but the kids,the ones i know and that know me ... those i miss.

ran into a student walking home drunk from flahertys the other night. that was weird. he offered me and jeff a ride. we politely declined.

thanksgiving was low key. alot of laying around on couches and floors. screaming when some one sat on you, more screaming as we fought for lounging position in front of the fireplace. and yet more fighting when mom insisted on taking photos. no i wont smile. no i wont put on make up. and no i wont sit next to him/her. no. no. no.

anyways. then. today, just to be stupid as usual, i went to black friday sales with my mummy and sister and daddy. did ok. got some stuff at best buy. some stuff at express. and really thats it.

theni came home and bagged leaves.

anyways. its cold. im smelly and covered in leaves. I think its time for a shower and a nap. then... work tonight.

i swear to god. im quiting this second job after new years. it will be my resolution.

the internet is a wild and wonderful place.

cool new web toy i found.

sparkles on my death

i said peg, what color should i paintmy nails? she says black. I say like death? she say ok. i say, can i put sparkles on my death. shes all like "if im alive when you die, im making sure they glitter you up. i dont care if your kids DO think im senile"

anyways, heres what we did today.


the flying chair by mikes house.


peggy in the rainy craft fair.
thats not the red from the umbrella. thats her hair.



Then we had drinks with faces.



that is all.

the de-funkification of tuesday.

in the beginning, there were tuesdays and there was beer. and it was good. we went to a bar called "the office" and played eucher. sometimes i won, if sid was my partner. Then i graduated.

then there was buffalo wild wings, 30 cent wing nights. dan and i had a date every tuesday. usualy it was after work for him and after class for me. we would go and eat wings and have a beer or two. i would stay up way too late, and be exhausted at school the next day. but it was the only time we had together during the week most of the time.

then dan left for miami, and tv night started. it started with peggy and lonnie coming to my house to watch joe millionare on mondays. when peg and i moved into the place in wheaton, it became tuesday nights with marjorie and ricardo and queer eye for the straight guy. dan and i had talked about having some online date on tuesdays when he was leaving so as to keep the tuesday tradition, but that never worked out. he always called during the show, he always forgot when it was on. i liked that. it was kinda cute.

anyways, for the past few months tuesdays have been defunked. things got insane for a while, and nothin is settled yet. id like to get something started up again, but im not sure what. queer eye is past its prime. im a big fan of House now, but that will be moving to another night, and having the night centered around tv is somethings distracting. and besides the point. we shall see. Ive sort of decieded that i need to stop working weekends, that means that im going to ask to be switched to all weeknights. and ive also sort of decided that if they CANT do that switch, i may quit. the weekend crap is killng me right now. so tired. But if i switch nights, tuesday nights will be work nights, and tradition will be over either way.

either way. its time for something new.

she lives. barely.

im here. i know its been forever. life is nuts as usual.

snippets. thats about all i have.

peg got her puppy. her name is molly. she is sweet. she hates when i squeeze her hamburger toy in her face. its mean, but its funny.

i started teaching at glenbard east. it is great. i love it. i need to take off fridays so i can go to a football game.

i am so tired all the time,but that seems to be the nature of life.

sisters left for college. they are lucky. i miss college. it was so fun. maybe dan and i will go to a football game on saturday.

i stepped on a rusty nail whilst gathering wood for a bonfire. it hurt alot. it hurts less now. thank you to all who were concerned.

it seems like half the people i know are getting married. its some what staggering.

i feel like ive made some new friends. i really like becky. shes cool. she also called me a stupid bitch. but shes funny. and i really like shawna at work. we are alot alike, and its all in ways that make us get along. i think. and then theres molly. nice doggy. and theres this girl, mary at work. well. woman. but whatever. its the sort of office where everyone is a girl so shes one of the girls from work, even if shes older than my mom. she reminds me of a female version of my grandpa. maybe thats why i like her.

ive stopped bringing my computer to school. i do want to use it, and i need to update grades and whatnot. but it was so heavy and such a pain. instead i think ill just use my flash drive. now the trick is makign myself take it out of my bag and UPDATE the damn grade book.

im starting to get upset and angry about hurricane katrina and how it was all handled. i dont know. i understand how some people cant leave or wont leave for whatever their reasons were. and i understand how expensive it would be to prepare better. but for GODS SAKE. we knew this was coming!

anyways. that rant will simply hurt my head.

in other news. ive realized that while some people can taint memories and steal away their meaning for you, other things can never be taken.i am so glad that i still love garden state. and that sunkist, sparkles and guy-A are still phrases that makes me smile. Im glad i still love our town. and labor day weekend will always be my grandpas birthday.

anyways, enough from me.
id promise to update more regularly, but id hate to lie. ill just say that ill try.
