FRIENDS

THIS AMAZING THING HAS JUST COME TO MY ATTENTION. YOU CAN TELL I AM SERIOUS BECAUSE OF THE CAPS LOCK:

Wednesday, May 21st
Fight for your Right to Slide Party
6pm-12pm

Here’s the scoop: A couple months ago, there was word on the street that City Museum was closing. That rumor wasn’t true, but it managed to create quite a stir. Thousands of Facebookers rallied to Save City Museum. When City Museum creator Bob Cassilly found out about the incredible support, and decided to throw you guys a party. So, here it is: 6 hours, 2 bands, 500 lbs of food, 0 cost. That’s right—this event is totally free after 6pm. We’re celebrating YOU. Be there. Ages 16 & up.

Free party at the City Museum! Let's go!

WOWzers.

Yea, it took me about 3 lifetimes, but I think I managed to get blogger to stop trying to use my google account to sign me in because guess what, blogger? my account with you is through hotmail! when I try to sign in with google and you prompt me to make a new blog then I am not a happy woman!

But anyways...so that's what has kept me away for forever. I was so annoyed about dealing with the password confusion that I just ignored it and pretended that I was "too busy with school" to blog. Bullsh*t. I'm just easily annoyed with technology.
Speaking of technology, has anyone seen Iron Man? Too cool for school man, too cool.

So life is good. I managed to finish out the semester with some snazzy grades if I do say so myself...I have a stats exam tomorrow that i'm nervous about, but even if I get a 50% on it I'll still get a C or something. But still. I'm nervous.

Life is good for me. I've been dating this guy from school, Luke, and that's going great. He's got a cute dog that I'm looking at right now (she's chewing her foot). Except I was hanging out with his family last night for mother's day and his uncle made a comment along the lines of "expectant mothers?" to me and luke's cousin's girlfriend, and then luke's aunt starts going "no! no! no! margaret and becca had better not get pregnant!"--it was so...ai yai yai. And we were standing around their kitchen holding hands because they pray before dinner, and he included that little comment IN the prayer. I was mortified. And speechless--I mean, honestly, what do you say to that? So I just looked around the kitchen and made some sort of noise...god only knows what.

Anywho, I gotta pee and heat my coffee and study, maybe eat some cookies that taste like cake, and watch the game. So yay blogs! and yay my birthday--it's going to be a whole day affair or mini-golfing, drinking, going outand taxis, and I expect you all to be there. More on that later.

Ciao for now, folks. Ciao for now.

JAPAN

Hey!!!

For those of you don't know, I'm studying abroad in Japan! I've been here for about a month, and I'll be home August 5th. You can check out my travel blog here: http://www.omgtokyo.blogspot.com/
When I started my blog, I thought it was just going to be mostly my parents checking it out, and that I wouldn't really care so much. But I've discovered that I LOVE when people comment on my posts because then I still sort of feel connected to back home.......... I wasn't expecting that.
It's also weird for me, because it's like a diary. A public one. which is a little weird. but i'm a pretty lazy blogger, and i leave a lot out.... ^__^
anyway, I miss you all and have a good summer vacation!
