so fall tv scheldules are out. and really all I care about is this: http://www.usatoday.com/life/television/news/2006-05-17-cw-schedule_x.htm?csp=34 and more specifically this: "So WB's Gilmore Girls will be paired with UPN's VERONICA MARS on Tuesdays," which makes me so happy I can hardly contain myself, because VM continues to be the lowest rated show that just can't be canceled. my theory: it's just too good.... also. for liz: prison break will stay on monday nights at 8:00 followed next year not by keifer (well I think 24 comes back in Jan. again. so I'm not really sure what they are doing with vanished, but maybe it's only a half a season long?) but instead by gale in vanished at 9:00-so that should mean a wonderful tuesday night for her. wentworth/gale back to back. all the pretty.

so. since it has been official a long time since I've updated (and this tends to be the greeting with which I start every entry now, because for some reason I just can't update on a regular or even semi-regular basis anymore)...... christmas break: there was martha's attempt at making peppermint bark which proved highly successful the second time around (as for the first time, I really had no idea white chocolate could burn...who knew??) and christmas shopping four days in a row, and the desperate hunt for argyle legwarmers for my sister that I swear I saw at GAP, but then couldn't find there was the double feature+hot cider with moriah that rekindled my love for luke wilson, and the weird run in with paul+girlfriend and way he barely acknowledge us, coupled with my slip and total wipeout on the middle of churchstreet=a final embarressement of 2005 christmas day was nice, with the usual mayhem and madness of usual clan+the brilliant idea of yankee swapping everything you got for christmas and hated. my father ended up with a six foot tall coon hunting trophy, and lucas got this porcelein garden ornament of two warty toads having tea together on a mushroom (which everyone kept mentioning would be perfect for his dormroom), and no, I'm not making this up. I waited on apparently a very famous "celebrity", although I had no idea who he was, but all my tables in the room kept whispering about him, and finally one of them came up and was like that's "blahblahblah" and I was still like 'huh?' but apparently he's been on star trek for awhile, and he played a butler on some tv show benson...(note: so I imdb'ed him and it's totally the same guy I waited on and he's been in like a billion things: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0041281/) I finally saw narnia, and it was soooooo good, everyone was all "it'll be a disappointment because you loved the books so much" but it wasn't at all, it was almost epic in size, and I think I'll see it again, perhaps today, because everyone in my family is gone and I have absolutely nothing to do at all, and that is a truly wonderful feeling. ofcourse the day was almost spoiled by this SUV that came like five inches away from totally sideswipping me in the parking garage, and I had to wildly honk my horn to avert vehiclier disaster (and this one was totally and utterly not my fault, su-preesingly) new year's eve was choatic as expected, and I'm not sure why I didn't forsee that a SEVEN COURSE price fixed meal would be crazy, but it was out of control. amuse, apps, soups, salads, 1st main course, 2nd main course, champange, desert. I spent the entire night running around in a state of panic and frenzy, I'd do to one table and they'd be like "we're ready for the soup, we're starving" so I'd run that over to them, and then forget I had to pick up drinks for another table at the bar, and then I'd remember that I hadn't taken an order on this other table, and by then the first table was ready for the next course (salads). so I was very glad when it was all over, and for it being new year's eve, I wasn't even there that late, (2:30'ish, and that was only because for some reason all the servers except for merry and I had left, so we got stuck cleaning and resetting everything ourselves, but my mom let me puttering in the diningroom with my mimosa in hand, so it wasn't all bad) ofcourse there was that moment when I completely ignored very cute l-instead of simply saying 'hi' or something very basic like that, happy new year would have also been a very viable choice in hindsight. now I must go decide what to do today. . .hopefully updates will be more frequent over j-term when I have no excuses, you know, like school, for not updating.

oh.my.god. so it's been over TWO ENTIRE MONTHS since I have updated. I am truly the worst livejournal updater ever. although. . .I've never really been one for journaling in any sense (when I was little I had this dream of having a diary to write all these secrets and exciting events in [like all the girls in the babysitter club. because come on. they were sooooo cool]but I would only get one entry in it, and then either a. lose it or b. forget about it) so I guess the fact that I even still update at all (even if the entries are sparadic) is an accomplishment. we had a blizzard today-seriously. it was snowing like the world was ending (and there was no jake gyllenhaal. so it was much more traumatic and not a whole lot of fun to tromp around in) so our weekend is all foiled as apparently "opening on december 9th" means "opening on decemeber 9th in NEW YORK AND LA. which. is very far from here. so our brokeback mountain+northampton brewery=not going to happen. although we are still going to go to northampton to go shopping for ribbon and champanage flutes. (for the 21st b-day extravaganza completely with cupcakes, raspberry sorbet, and pink champagne) things I am grateful for: *it's christmas-time (this includes: christmas shopping, candy, christmas music mixes, trees, the idea of ice skating if not the actual thing, lights, general good cheer, cookies (that are not astronaut food LIZ), etc. etc.) *geology lab is finally OVER *new pride and prejudice *fox opting to haitus prisonbreak till march and not may (although. still. MARCH????!) *I don't have to take any classes on friday next semester (which was a lingering horrible possibility) *I'll be home soon and I can drink hot chocolate and go see narnia and not have to think about school work until early feb *there are only three more days of classes this semester *sark's return on alias (although this doesn't change the fact that rachel is still so insanely annoying and cannot act making her alias' equilevant of marissa. which is like forty shades of bad)

so it's time for an update. . .and I'm sitting drinking french vanilla hot chocolate which is absolutely delicious and it's 11:30 at night and I'm exhausted, after doing no work. . .which is bad. because I have both a geology exam this week (which I have not even remotely started studying for) and a geology take home quiz to do by friday, plus all my reading and I have to come up with a discussion question for class on wednesday, for a book I haven't even read a page of yet. am I stressed? surprisingly, not really. this is perhaps even more frightening. this weekend was wonderful, even if I did labor away practically the entire day on friday baking these super awesome apple shaped sugar cookies for the desperate housewives party, which my dog ate while they cooled. I saw junebug with Heidi on friday and I really liked it a lot, it'll give you a whole new appreciation for ryan atwood (ben mckenzie) even if you loathe the mustache he's sporting. the only downside was my misguided idea that it was a good idea to mix reeses pieces, skittles, and peanut m&m in the same bag, and eat them in the dark. as I couldn't tell what anything was, so I'd be all snacking on a delicious peanut butter-y chocolate treat, and suddenly I'd bite into a lime skittle. yes, it was as gross as it sounds. talk about flavors that just don't mix. so I have a stomache ache all of saturday night long, as I slaved away waiting on all the (as my co-worker named them) "man barbies" from middlebury college, who are all blonde perfectly tan and all seeming wear the exact same striped polo/blazer combination.\ because I am awesome I made the cookies again, and they came out lovely. . .all frosted and sugared with green swedish fish for the leaves of the apples. if I knew how to put pictures in I would, because they are just that nice to look at. . . also, can I please have these? they are just so pretty-and they certainly would have come in handy when I was tromping around in the river. ick. am looking forward to (and by that I mean not at all) tomorrow's fun geology "field trip". . .which shall from this point forward be refered to as the field trip o' doom. because this is how I feel about it. the idea of hiking with penny taylor terrifies me. without being quizzed about rock formations. I bought snickerdoodles for veronica mars on wednesday, this is my newest tactic for forcing liz to watch vm (I know once she gets into it, she'll be totally into it. . .) nothing like cookie bribery. highly effective. let's face it, no one can resist "special treats"

I decided it was time for an update. firstly, like me express how very happy I am that my car is all fixed [again] and let me reinstate what bad luck I have with cars+freak accidents=trauma. first, there was that late night video trip sophomore year with layne and liz in which my back window just imploded. randomly. for no reason. what? how does a window just break unless you have a.) backed into something b.)someone threw a rock/other hard sharp object c.) there is no c. this years was a mysterious muffler mishap. so liz, kate and I are heading out to dinner, and the moment I get on the interstate this deafening noise starts, and no one could figure out what it was. I started to get panick-y, and kate was like "umm...aren't you going to pull over?" (I didn't really want to, because I was afraid of what might have happened) so it's pouring rain, and kate (who seems to be the only one who has ANY clue about cars) gets out to investigate. upon returning she informs me that my muffler is on the ground. . .likw what? so we call triple A, and they tell us to tie it up, (to which liz suggests we use a plastic bag. . .ummm....no.) so we have nothing to tie it up with, so we have to just drive along with it all hanging on the pavement and sparking. till we reach a gas station, and they still don't have anything to tie it up with. at which point I became nearly hysterical. then in the distance, a golden beacon of a sears auto center. at which ofcourse they don't actually fix mufflers, but they were kind enough to use pliers and all these coathangers to tie it up for me. mt. day happened this week too. which was lovely. even if we did spend a few hours at midas getting my muffler fixed, but we also had time for a fun adventure to atkins (carmel popcorn, cookies, and cider oh my) and loaded up on special treats. . .then it was off to B&N for quality coffee and celebrity trash time. with the added event of martha throwing magazines out the window (like what? how does that even happened? I swear, one moment it was on the carpet and the next it got sucked into this huge hole by the window and off into oblivion) vm returned this week, and so was my love of cassidy rekindled (not that it ever died, it was only in hibernation, taking a short break to "awww" over him in red eye,) I have only been marginally successful (although I'm not sure I've even accomplished that) in getting liz hooked (but she did allow me to go over the hour long history of the first season, at which time I kept getting logan/duncan's names mixed up and kept saying [incorrectly] that duncan's mother killed herself, so I'm not sure it was very helpful and liz was just like "wow. very dramatiste,") but I'm pretty sure she genuinely watched atleast 5 minutes of it. 10 will be the goal for next week. BUT. I have successfully, without doubt, hooked Heidi (what can I say? we both have fabulous taste) so that's good. someone for me to fawn over the show with. this weekened is a purely r&r (plus work) weekend, because for some reason I'm exhausted, which doesn't make sense, considering I only had three days of classes this week (and I slept till 12:30 on the day I didn't have to go to class) but I'll be baking some apple shaped cookies (sssshhhh...it's a su-preese for the biggest desperate housewives fan I know) and working on my tee-shirt/hoodie line, and catching up on wuthering heights and hopefully taking a trip to costco. in short. it will be very nice indeed.

soooo.....my newest endevor is costing me more than I expected it to, like I spent over fifty dollars today on ummm...beads and needle nose pliers. which seems strange. also. heidi and martha's movie expedition left lots of unanswered questions. questions such as: 1.) dude. why is the senator's son driving a convertible PT CRUISER? is there a freaking lamer looking car? if he has a limo at his disposal why in the world is he not driving some awesome sports car? plus, isn't the PT CRUISER a bit matronly? also why does he tell his friend to leave the keys on the tires? isn't he just asking for his car to be stolen? (unless ofcourse he desperately wants someone to steal his car so that his texan senator daddy can buy him a car that isn't insanely UGLY.) 2.) okay. I'm just going to ask once but seriously. who names their kid DODGER? for real. 3.) why was the main character randomly from england? and why did they never explain why he wasn't just going to school in england? or give him any backstory at all, beyond the "I was dating the deans daughter. . .blah blah blah" and why his dad kept slipping in and out of an english accent. . .? 4.) if "dodger" wanted to kill jon bon jovi's other girlfriend so badly, why did she insist on tromping around in the woods in the dark to kill her? why even bother with that? 5.) if english boy was so rich and his english/american dad had such "connections" why was he moping floors?????????????? more importantly. WHY IN THE WORLD DID WE HAVE TO WATCH HIM MOP FLOORS? 6.) and most importantly. . .why did that crazy woman buy tickets to three different shows of the same movie? and leave half way through it. (unless maybe her plan was to watch a third of it at three different showings. . .in which case, she's paying 21 dollars to see a pretty bad movie.) in other news I found my barnes and nobles card, so that's a relief.

so I've been back at school a week, although this is something I cannot believe, because it seriously feels like I've been back here FOREVER. and not necessarily in a good way. although not in a bad way either, but just in a sort of overwhelmed, I'm still adjusting to having to get up for my 8:35 classes FOUR DAYS A WEEK sort of way. yeah, I know. it's not so fun. also. I have a three hour geology lab taught by a woman who worked for the postal service for sixteen years=she's rather surly and doesn't like laughing. and we had to watch the most boring movie I have ever seen in my entire life (in black and white) for god. hours today. it's good to be back and see all my friends again. . .and we've been frequenting b&N so often (like every other night) that liz has picked herself up, although not by choice, a rather pissy blonde boyfriend who always looks at us all suspiciously and engaged her in about a thirty minute faux conversation about whether she wanted expresso in her pumpkin spice latte. it was true love. ha. in other news: our room is totally awesome. we have these really pretty deep purple sheer curtains, with silver on them (that I know was a horrible description) which are almost indian influenced and make me happy just to look at them. we have the largest tv known to man (it took like three of us to carry it up to our room from my car) and I just got that awesome little speaker set for my ipod, and it has surround sound. how are classes you ask? well. for the most part, they're good. I like my Victorian literature class, (we're reading jane eyre now) and my british literature of the 60's is mildly entertaining (mostly the entertainment is because of my rather bumbling visiting british professor named nigel. yeah. I know. nigel. can't you just picture what a dork he is?) My American painting art history class is just as awesome as I thought it was going to be, even if there is like 600 people (okay, 50) in my class. and geology? well. it'll let me graduate. I've decided to branch out from my oh so successful shirt company into jewelry, inspired by this article I read in (don't laugh) teen vogue (shut up. I like it) about these two fifteen year old girls who started their own jewelry company and now all there stuff is being sold at fred segal. (this is just another facet of my goal to be a millionaire by the time I graduate from college). and I have a good feeling about it. oh and can I just say for those of you who watched the premier of the OC last thursday (and for those of you who didn't this totally not a spoiler) can I just say my absolute favorite part was: ryan (on beach [around bonfire?]): cohen! I can't believe you did that cohen! and what was with that creepy!blonde!rehab girl who was all lurking around and staring at kirsten? I already can't stand her.

I picked out the most beautiful hair color for Heidi, it's all rich and chocolate-y and very pretty. in other news. I am awesome. finally finally finally hung out with kate d. and it was oodles of fun. except when Heidi set off the car alarm in the middle of the parking garage and I couldn't figure out how to turn it off. for like twenty minutes. and then it happened again. at B&N. and I'm actually not sure what happened that time. conclusion: my car hates me. stalked george again. and it didn't help that kate and I kept snorting and snickering and staring. (simulataneously) and Heidi was all 'guys. how is he ever going to be my boyfriend if you keep snickering?' and we didn't have answer for her, but my coffee was wonderful. I actually started to pack today, and I did like one load of laundry and put like two things in a box and was like "okay, I'll do this later" AND. I finally talked with moriah (who has been like seriously missing for months. in sunny san fransico having fun without me) and we're hanging out on friday, which makes me very happy. tomorrow I'm going to visit laura at school and going to the neptune diner (if you don't grasp the signifigance of this it's because you don't watch veronica mars. a fact over which you should be ashamed of yourselves, especially you [cough.liz.cough] who I sent the entire season to and therefore have no excuse for not watching it. the end) I stayed up till 3 am watching episodes of the first season of roswell, and I actually listened to the commentary by "liz" and "maria" on a few. and they were hysterical. it was like watching the episode with your best friend only your best friend who knew all the behind hte scenes gossip and they kept making fun of "michael" and his hair. and that was pretty great. they also thought jason behr's chest was pretty great. which is an opinion I totally agree with.

all finished my internship. which is a yay! don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed it but I'm glad to finally have some free time. . .for lauching my fashion line among other things (and yes liz, I have actually made shirts for real this time. I'm on three, which is a sweatshirt, which I finished tonight) Heidi and I discovered Undeclared, and in doing so a guy named charlie who looks eerily like heath ledger, only with a british (not australian) accent. (if you haven't heard of undeclared it's another oh so awesome but doomed show created by the same guy who did freaks and geeks. which is another awesome show. with james franco. who has very lovely cheekbones. among other lovely things) my sister left for school a day ago, and this is surreal to me because I can't believe she is really old enough to be going away to college, and I keep waiting for her to show back up at my house. which ofcourse she won't. because she is being punished, I mean at she is at some wilderness orientation forced bonding activity. (seriously. that sounds tres horrible to me. infact. it sounds like a nightmare. being stuck in the woods for five days with a bunch of people you don't know. playing like ice breaker activities and duck duck goose.) I'm thinking seriously again of really going blonde. I realize that I was born blonde, and naturally blonde until sixth grade, which means I actually have the coloring for it, so it won't make me look washed out or pale. (I'm talking going honey blonde, not like platnium blonde) visit to B&N today, among other things, saw Heidi's boyfriend and seriously considered stealing him for myself, because he would make a wonderful coffee/purse/shopping bag carrier among his obvious talents such as vanilla latte maker. I spent 8 dollars on a wooden stamp with a cowboy boot on it today (for my "these boots are made for walking" tee shirt. upcoming.)8 dollars for a stamp seems like a lot to me. but in retrospect it does have a spur-so maybe it really is worth it. and I think I'll make Heidi one that says: "don't you wish your girlfriend was hot like me?" in honor of her self proclaimed theme song. (oh so sorry I missed the accompanying dance) layne, I found book three of the sisterhood of the traveling pants (and by found I mean I located it in Heidi's room) still looking for the second one which I'll hopefully have to bring back to school so you can borrow both of them. it seems vaughn really is being killed off. and this seriously upsets me. at first I thought it was just a rumor-but now I've heard it too many times for it to just be that. although I just read today that Michael Vartan and Jennifer Garner were actually getting along really well now. and she was even learning french so that she could speak to him in his "native langauge". awwwww.

so let's see..... again I have been lax on the updates- in some stroke of luck my internship lady was like "oh, why don't you take thursday/friday off?" and I was like "oh yes" Thursday H+I saw Sketelton Key, Friday I went out for Indian and maple frozen yogurt with the Martha I am going to grow into (her name actually is Martha, oddly enough) and coffee ofcourse, because present and future Martha are both addicted. Saturday Heidi and I went up to Burlington for some shopping, (and vanilla lattes, which are my newest obession) and saw Red Eye after which Heidi turns to me and goes (after I had blathered for several minutes about how jealous I was that Rachel McAdams looks absolutely gorgeous in every color she dyes her hair) "so that was the same girl we saw in that other movie" and I was like "what movie?" She was refering to Skeleton Key and I was like "ummm.....do KATE FREAKING HUDSON AND RACHEL MCADAMS LOOK EVEN VAGUELY SIMILAR?" and then I got to make fun of her for several hours about it. while she ate sushi. You will note that I am leaving out any report on how working at the restuarant went on these days, and that is simply because it is too painful to recall. seriously. it has never been more busy than it was on friday night and actually just thinking about it makes my stomach hurt. the end. Sunday I helped my mom and my little mini biscuit toy (named walt) set up for the wedding this weekend. . .then laura and I went niccos cucina and had ceasar salads and a very cute waiter (think money money, if he hadn't gotten ugly) who was all super enthusiastic about EVERYTHING: cute blonde waiter: would either of you ladies like parmesan cheese on your salad? me: yes please cbw: AWESOME! laura: me too cbw: DEFINATELY! [ha.] halfway through dinner this swarm of very tiny creepy ass bugs appeared. and then suddenly they were everywhere. all over the table. in people's drinks. burrying into my 70 dollar sweater. it was beyond gross (and made me think I had stepped into some new horror movie called "THE BUGS") then we fled the restaurant and they were like COVERING the car, and my sister had left the windows down so they were actually IN the car. and yes, it was as gross as it sounds. then we went to B&N, because when I am feeling ick to the 100% that always makes me feel better, (although the lady at the cafe gave me a vanilla chai instead of a vanilla latte, and that was ummm, not as good as it sounds) before heading to le north end to see The 40 Year old Virgin. Heidi and I hit burlington again last night (upon my truimphant return from costco-land) and we had dinner outside at Sweetwaters. . .and I was all "grrr....my best friend (guy) has been very distant lately" and then practically as soon as those words came out of my mouth he appeared. and I was like "hmmm...perhaps if I talk about someone they will appear" so I tried "why ryan gosling sure looks bad with no hair" but alas he did not come strolling down church street. anyway. speak of the devil was there with all his friends and it was fairly akward, and then they got this table DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM US at Ri-ras so if you even looked in that direction you would immediately lock eyes with them, and umm, that didn't help deflate the akward-ness even slightly. as you can imagine. today I am back at my internship, and I still can't figure out when the last day is supposed to be. but I'm seriously hoping this week, because I need a break before I have to go back to school, but we will see. anyway. that's all the updates for now.

I cannot believe it's august already. I cannot believe how long it's been since I actually made a real entry. I cannot believe that I spent most of today playing around with gold foil and small children+hieroglyphics. in other news. . .thank god it's the weekend. I waited on these southern people last night and after I recieted the specials they were all "wow." and very impressed, and this one VERY southern lady turns to me (in full on drawl) and goes "darlin' you everrrr think about going to holllllywooooood and being an actressss?" I have a new guilty pleasure which I am not going to reveal because it's just too embarrassing. I got this awesome official poker set (with all these different colored chips and everything) now. . .if I only knew how to play. (I'll learn liz, so that in addition to our black market dvd scheme we can hold poker touraments in our rooms, and eat lots of oreos (yes, I know, that has nothing really particuarly anything to do with poker, but don't oreos sound good?) On Monday we are going to my grandparent's summer home on the lake in NY- which should be nice, (although I have this looming outline/write up on Eadweard Muybridge (aka the photographer who took all the pictures of animals, especially horses, in motion- translation: incredibly dull pictures) for my internship by the middle of next week, so with that looming I can't have 100% free fun unfortunately) it'll be nice to see all my cousins again (including the bona fide rock star cousin, if he's not off touring and you know, trashing hotel rooms) I'm reading this really really good book called The Historian. it's like the davinci code+vampires. has anyone seen high fidelity? is it good? I have now frequented B&N so often I have a B&N boyfriend, and as soon as he sees me he's all smiling and "coffee frap?" and then gets me a vanilla almond biscotti. he's cute in that geeky sort of way and stutters and blushes a lot. I want to adopt him. Tomorrow I'll finally get around to making Martha/Heidi: next generation of the sisterhood or "sisterhood of the traveling hoodie" wish me luck with that. I'm playing with bleach, stencils and fabric paint. will post results. (unless they are awful, in which case. . .I won't) layne are you ever coming to visit VT-land? (and have you gotten addicted to VM yet?) that is all for now.

so I'm updating. because I have very lax about it lately, and my only excuse is that I have no time. (like seriously) anyway. returned from family (three generations, including my mother, my aunt, my grandparents and my sister-but minus the little man because he had to stay home to do b&b and "hang" [don't laugh he believes his new hobby is causing him to grow taller]) in gloucester. . .which was exhausting as usual (the hightlight being the discovery my grandparent's new car had a dvd player in it, so I watched means girls and drank root beer and that was nice. we went out for the fourth of july to this restaurant on the shore and there, tending bar no less, was whoopi goldberg (no, I'm not lying, and yes, it really was her) besides that we heard lots of live music, went shopping and (in my case anyway) got seriously burned on the beach while sitting very close to this boy who looked exactly like john (hot gardener) from desperate housewives (or "jesse metcalfe" as he is really called) after that the week was a blurr of internship during the day (basically playing with watercolors, and walking across campus to get copies made for the lady I work for) and working at the restaurant at night. On my day off on saturday I saw the Fantastic Four (because it's not truly summer till you've seen atleast one cheesy comic book movie-note: I didnt' count Batman, as it was really really good. and not cheesy. and I don't count Spiderman either. . .because I don't like it) and it was perfect, in that it was exactly what I was hoping it would be-brainless fun. (and buff hunky guys running around shirtless for no apparent reason) Yesterday was my first (not counting the lecture/slide show I gave the senior citizens) outreach education program in. . .Milton. There were like 30 kids and I hadn't had quite enough time to memorize my whole presentation. . .but nonetheless it went well. (my favorite part was during the part about Henri Matisse and how later in his life when he was ill he cut out bold bright paper shapes to make pictures a little kid raised his hand and goes "that looks just like south park". it was great) Last night I had a night off and the house all to myself (because my family had abandoned me in order to see the Baseball Hall of Fame-I know, right?) and I sat around and ate pizza, baked cookies and watched season 2 of buffy. and it was just as wonderful as it sounds.

ah. . . it is 11:10 and I'm completely exhausted. which is strange. . .considering all I did today was float around in the pool reading (and sunning) for several hours sipping iced beverages. .. and then I worked tonight, but it wasn't even out of control busy, more mellowly busy and ate strawberry shortcake. am heading to bed to read sex, drugs and cocoa puffs (I am particularly interested in reading the essay on say anything, because I heart lloyd dobler in a major way. [and john cusack too. and am looking foward to Must Like Dogs later in the summer. . .if only for john cusack.(for liz's benefit john cusack is 6'2''] I promise promise promise (for those of you waiting) that I will update about europe and montreal (avec pictures [including the golden shoes. . on which I have alread recieved many compliments and looks of awe and jealousy.] very soon. have to wake up early tomorrow to meet with my internship lady about this presentation I'm giving to these senior citizens about ancient egypt. did I mention I love my life?

soooo..... I have returned from my whirlwind european adventure and expect pictures as soon as I can return my camera to a state of undead/ arrived home at 1am to wake up at 9 the next morning so that I could so see sisterhood of the traveling pants with Heidi-I cried, not even because it was a very teary movie, but just because. (okay okay, I wasn't actually gushing, which is good. it was more you know, composed crying. [although I suppose it doesn't really matter, as Heidi already knows I pretty much cry during EVERYTHING. yes. I know. weird.] anyway. it was great to see her before she deserted me for the rest of the summer being a counselor/lifegaurd at girl scout camp way way in the woods many miles from me. I worked the next day too. it was sneak preview and out of control, and I still can't open bottles of wine at the table so I wander around in a state of frusteration till I find [beg] someone to do it for me. I did however get a written comment [during sneak preview they write down comments on the food] about how "our waitress was so nice and bubbley" (I think the EY is especially indicative how just how bubbly I truly was. ha.) today I am going to see batman begins and I'm very excited (except for any thoughts about the it's everywhere katie holmes/tom cruise love affair that is so ick that it brings to mind) and it will be my last respite before operation graduation weekend. My grandparents are arriving on Saturday and staying till like Monday, plus a bunch of my parents friends are staying at our house too. and there's like forty different ceremonies we have to attend, (my sister attends a catholic highschool, which must be why there are so many, as I don't remember them all) and then a pool party (with the youth group, it's going to be rocking I tell you), and this other party, and family dinners and. . .I'm exhausted just listing it all. Monday I'm leaving for Montreal and hopefully (finally) be able to go the Egyptian art museum (and drink lots of coffee from second cup), and do some shopping (still searching for the gold ballet flats that are EVERYWHERE in london)

hung out with Heidi this weekend and watched phantom of the opera which for some reason seemed to go on forever. . .like I consider myeslf to be a fairly patient person, probably more so than the average person, (accept when I'm driving a car and stuck in traffic, at which point I am prone to swearing loudly at no one in particular. . .this concerns me, because the "traffic" I encounter in VT, and even in MA, is hardly traffic, so I'm sort of afraid of what I'll be like when driving in a place that's you know, actually populated. . .like a city)and after like the first hour I took to yelling at the screen. . .seriously it took HOURS for anything to actually happen. sunday was a much anticipated return to my second home (b&n) which was a bit disappointing and anti-climaxtic. . .there was some children's book reading/book signing going on, so all the comfy chairs (and chairs in general) were taken, and I kept getting pushed around by all these four year olds. . .who were surprisingly aggressive and mean. but I did read about Jennifer Garner's pregnancy and was appropriately disgusted. . .because seriously, BEN AFFLECK?????? also, there was this whole article about how this would affect alias and how there was talk of JG not returning to the show next year. . .WHAT???!!!! (chelsea, you've got to be equally outraged) in other news. . .I bought a digital camera today and it's so sleek and silver and shinny that looking at it makes me happy. . .its very excited about its upcoming trip to europe in two weeks. . .almost as much as I am. [now I just have to figure out how to actually use it]
