I really should update this more, but everytime I think about it, I don't know what to write.

So much has been going on lately, that if I try to say it all, its just going to sound like an A.D.D. mess.

I'm having the best time of my life this year. I have some of the best friends in the world. There's no doubt in my mind that they will be there for me when I need them. This is a big deal to me because this is the first time I've truly felt this way. In highschool there was always that nagging feeling in the back of my mind. I do anything and everything for my friends, but half the time the favor was never returned. I still talk to maybe 4 people that I graduated with because it seemed that everyone cut ties with me after we threw our caps in the air.

Why is that?

Was it just convenience? We were all just friends because we were in the same classes, had the same lunch period. But now that we're spread out across the state, or states in some cases, its just too much to send a simple hello on IM, or an email to catch up? Are our lives so much different now that we don't have anything in common to talk about?

I've done the best I can to keep in touch with people. Hell on Facebook I think I have every possible way to contact me listed out.

But thinking too much into this puts other doubts in my mind. The people that this really pertains to will never read this anyway.

Last year this time, I was looking into other colleges to transfer to because the people I hung out with first semester were also looking to transfer. We're all still here, but I moved on. I found other people, that enjoyed life and just didn't sit around all the time complaining about our school. School is what you make of it, I realize that now. It doesn't matter that there really isn't anything to do here, it matters what you do with the limited stuff you have. I think my roommates and I have more fun playing cards late at night than most people have drinking.

Not that I have a problem with drinking, I like going out and having fun. My birthday party down at my sisters apartment may have been one of the greatest times I've had this year. I'll probably be going out tomorrow night and Friday night to celebrate my Irish heritage. :)

Okay, this entry is long enough. I'm going to go write part of my novel that I started again.

My first couple of days back to York went like this...Computer crashing, two hour phone call to Dell, Dell guy coming next day to fix it, an hour fight with my computer to get signed online, gym and basketball game, fire alarm going off at 2:30 in the morning because some kid got the munchies and decided to burn toast.

Don'tcha just love college?

Since my last update:

We lost the lip sync contest.

Was mooned by two of the guys.

Watched two of the guys wrestle with a big pink dildo.

Went to the Marine Corp Ball.

Scared the shit of out a marine.

Been working my butt off.

Found out the place I work is haunted.

Roommate got a hamster.

I'm sure other stuff has been going on. All I know is that I've been having the best time this year. There have been some minor bumps in the road, but nothing has been too bad. I'm loving life.

We find out today if we're in or not. Or if anyone else actually ended up going to the auditions other than us.

Tomorrow, I'm hopping on a train and staying with Traci for the weekend. I'll be in Lebanon Sunday, Monday and Tuesday if anyone wants to hang out.

First night back in York our fridge stopped working for about two hours. Second day, maintence brought us a new one, along with the ladder they forgot to give us, and the shelves missing from our dressers.

Our internet is finally working properly, instead of it kicking us off every five minutes. Now I just need to catch up everything I missed for the last couple of days.

Oh! And apparently last night my roommates started a war with our guy friends entire apartment. This could get interesting. haha.

A sweaty hitchhiker, a hot waiter, 12 scoops of icecream with 6 toppings, first trip to an amazing theater, and a fucking hilarious movie, made my Friday night. I love my girls.
