Dear Santa..

proof no one should get me anything for christmas b/c i have no money to get anything for you ..

Dear Santa...

Dear Santa,

This year I've been busy!

Last Tuesday I had a shoot-out with rival gang lords on the 5 near LA (-76 points). In August I farted in an elevator (-6 points). In February I gave change to a homeless guy (19 points). Last Sunday I pulled over and changed [info]lunachica's flat tire (15 points). Last month I gave [info]juteveux a wet willie, then I took it back (-5 points).

Overall, I've been naughty (-53 points). For Christmas I deserve a lump of coal!

Sincerely,
cheeziebrie

so its been a while   
10:53pm 23/10/2005
  i dont know if anyone will really read this, but i have to say i dont much care.. i was thinking today about an entry i wrote about the seasons last autumn... i had to look it up, and now i feel compelled to create another.

re-reading older entries has definitely made me giggle, but has made me realize that i really do know myself pretty well, and im pretty static. i think back on the feelings i had when i was writing those entries, and muse over the ideas and thoughts that have changed or been altered since then. i think about where i was at those times and i realize that they are past, but repeating to some extent.

one that made me giggle was about a hydrology feild trip i went on last year, i found it very boring... i know why i did now.. all we did was stand around and watch them take measurements. we didnt get to try anything for ourselves.. the reason i laugh is because now i find myself totally enamored with geology because of an amazing professor and the amazing friends ive found in the department.

im even (again) second guessing my choice to be a marine biologist. although ive found a program on long island, NY for being a marine geologist. so who knows.. i dont know if i could go back on that dream again though..

i just spent the weekend doing feild research in the catskills.. i cant believe all the gaps that appear in this journal.. its interesting though, to fill in the spaces between the entries. i cant figure out how or where i suddenly get the urge to write for periods, than quit. i guess when i feel that someone is reading or might be interested i tend to pick it up.. but otherwise it just kind of remains stagnent. i really appreciate, though, that i can look back on the entries, like i just did and remember things that i may have forgotten in the process.

life has been krazy lately. there is so much to say, i doubt i could fill anyone in on everything up to this point. my head is a mess, ill tell you that.. between trying to keep everything straight to graduate, getting ready to go to belize, choosing a paper topic to write about, getting enrolled in my senior research seminar, planning to take the GREs, chosing schools to apply for, and being torn on where and how i want my life to end up.. its been nuts.

not to mention all the events in between.

but this weekend was amazing. real. live. research. and im going to get to take it all the way (if i have the time, which i will make the time.. :o) it was on paleosols in the catskills, and let me tell you.. it was absoultely breathtaking up there. i cant believe all the colors in the trees.. the smells of snow.. the steam drenched mountains.. i definitely needed that escape. i wish i could go back.

it makes me nostalgic for the peacefullness of a rural autumn and winter. i think that i just always get somewhat nostalgic around this time of year.. i simply adore it.

halloween is coming up.. and i finally splurged on something (i probably shouldnt have) at the faire and i will be wearing it to a party. i got invited to two, believe it or not. i will more than likely attend the typical one (chevs), i cant see any reason not to.. but it was nice to have been invited to the other. :o) im sure the hosts will understand (friends from work.. :o)

school is progressing nicely, i suppose. a little tough here and there, but it always is. mostly the class that is giving me trouble is my italian class (how awful is that?) its pretty depressing. i always hoped that my italian blood would like come through for me or something and make me awesome with this, the romance language of my lineage. ah well. i also wish you could eat books to memorize the facts inside.. so that should have told me something about my affinity to learn things easily. :o)

anyway, i guess ill go for now.. although, i could, of course, write more. but i dont think i want to get into it all. i just wanted to make a note. i miss the scenery already..

:o)

found a house.. or something   
01:28am 19/07/2005
 
mood: contemplative
music: ac on.. wishing i could play WoW
hey just wanted to let you guys know that i found a house.. or at least an apartment.. a very large and amazing apartment, although to be honest, i cant help but be disappointed its not a full fledged house with a yard as much as i love it.

its in south philly at an ideal location, right off snyder ave close to where i work and mere seconds away from zitos if im driving and totally convenient to public transporation of all sorts. lol but needless to say, location is not why i chose the place. trying to find a good house in a good neighborhood for good rent at this time of year was nearly impossible to be honest. it was so tiring and frustrating that by the time we found this "apartment" with its split level (yes, there are 2 floors in an apartment, although the second is kind of tiny), huge bedrooms, washer, dryer, refridgerator, decent sized bathroom, nearly even bedroom floorspace, two huge window seated plus two more extra bedrooms, it was like a dream come true.

anyway, i need furniture. so if anyone has either reccommendations of places to get furniture, and by this i mean either furniture you dont need that would be kinda "easy" to get to south philly relatively speaking, or any ideas for mattress sales especially (being that i need to buy a bed), id appreciate the help.

in other news, im trying to get to see my counslor to check on my schedule - which has been (against my will) changed for the coming semester due to the cancellation of a course i really needed to take to graduate (thankfully, its an easily expendable one, so finding one to take its place in the spring shouldnt be a problem, i was just looking forward to having it out of the way for my last semester) - to make sure its okay for me to graduate on time, and also declare my minors. i have to take the GREs soon and i want to go down to UMBC to check into their apparent graduate program on the Biology of Aquatic Organisms in Marine Environments... which of course is not listed on their majors when you apply for graduate programs, but yet is listed plainly on a website i have for gradschool program listing for the united states (that i have thanks to jeff).

other plans include getting in touch with the now *amazing* camden aquarium (although i havent seen it), and finding out if i cant get a job there and/or somehow weasle out them paying for part of my grad school tuition. too bad no place in jersey or PA offers a graduate program for what i want to do, so i dont know how that is going to work out.. :o( which reminds me i need to rekindle some connections i made last summer to make sure they are still there.. :o)

i really want to go to the bmore aquarium when the new wing is open, which i dont think it is yet.. if anyone knows different please let me know! :o)

so anyway i move in august first or so.. im going to be hanging around UV until august 10th though.. i have to move everything, than scour my apartment so they can check it out.. i hope my roommates dont plan on making me clean the kitchen that i am only in to walk through to go to my bedroom. i could count the amount of time i spent more than 5 mins in there on one hand, and that was usually to make a poptart or tuna sammich (which i rarely do) and is obviously discounting when i baked cookies last christmas, which doesnt really count to me b/c they werent here.. although, i dont think they will considering i dont rat them out for smoking up in the living room, i figure they owe me..

the only thing im really not looking forward to about moving is that ill have to get up much earlier to make it to classes, which when i originally made my schedule started at 840 every morning.. lucky for me though, (i guess), that class that was cancelled was an 840 tues and thurs, so i guess i can sleep later those days.. but not much.

im still waiting on that backpay from best buy. i need it so i can buy furniture and whatnot and really get this apartment started up.. not to mention i have a certain very important anniversary coming up with a certain very important, wonderful boy that might cause a dip in my funds.. :o) but at least im finally making the 10/hr i deserve..

ps - i read the 6th harry potter book.. which i found to be very very disappointing, although having successfully done exactly what it was ment to do.. make me want to read the 7th book to see what happens and *hope* she explains it all... im just praying im not sorely disappointed like the fans of the matrix.. :o)

wow, unexpected facelift by deadjournal..

anyway..

ive been looking for houses in south philly lately. so far there's only one prospect for a house at 401 Mifflin... pretty decent but needs a little work..

im going to check out some more properties soon.. i found them with some help from some of my favorite people, the zitos.. i have to be out of UV on the 10th of august.. so thats fast approaching.. so much to do before then!

but ... after that i think there will be a house warming party! all are welcome! if you're interested, let me know!

as a side note, my car is very broked. i need 2 new sidearms, an alignment, and front bracers. i needed new tires too b/c my car had eaten all the way to the steel mesh on the other ones, but i replaced them already. approx. $730 bucks of work before the tires were replaced.. which i spent $107 on, so i guess now its only $620..

i have to think of a gift to get zito for our anniversary.. hrmns.

anyway, respond if you're interested in coming to a party on this entry! ;o)

ps - best buy never gave me my raise, and owes me lots of backpay (3mos at $10/hr for approx. 20hrs give or take per week minus one... yeah thats a lot)that i will be getting raped on taxes over. i was pretty upset about it.. but hopefully it will come in soon.. ;o\

music: Since you've been Gone - Kelly Clarkson
Samurai

You are a Samurai.
You are full of honour and value respect. You
are not really the stereotypical hero, but you
do fight for good. Just in your own way. For
you, it is most certainly okay to kill an evil
person, if it is for justice and peace. You
also don't belive in mourning all the time and
think that once you've hit a bad stage in life
you just have to get up again. It's pointless
to concentrate on emotional pain and better to
just get on with everything. You also are a
down to earth type of person and think before
you act. Impulsive people may annoy you
somewhat.

my now ten day year old nephew.... she didnt tell any one she was even pregnant, and we havent seen her for about 9 months i guess.. the people in the second picture are the adoptive parents, but now she's having second guesses about giving him away.. i really want her to keep him, personally.. but i dont know. my dad does too, but my dad being my dad didnt make her feel that way, and of course my mom is trying to stay neutural and refuses to make the decision for her.. which is what she thinks chelsey wants her to do.. i dont know.. its a mess. he's part of our family, i want him to stay a part of it.. im so distraught... i dont want these strangers to have him..

i mean, not that they're bad people, actually they seem pretty darn great. they're planning to take him to italy over the summer (before any of us ever get there! grr) and stop in england to see his grandmother there.. oh yeah, chelsey's baby daddy is from england.. he's a rockstar.. well i guess. not like a big one, but one. she met him b/c he was here with his band and they became friends, and he came back to visit and i guess thats how chiron came to be. the mom has done choreography for that 70s show.. rollerskating.. she choreographed the tarzan show in disneyworld... and she wants to put the baby in commercials while he's still an infant *before he knows whats going on* and these things, as you might guess from chelsey's chosen profession, prolly appeal to her. she wants him to have all he could, and sees things being a lot easier (which they will be) if she gives him up.. but now that she's had him, she doesnt want to let him go - who would?

anyway, im not going to get to into it.. im still in shock over it..

here's the stats though..

Description of Your First Name of: Kimbrie
Although the name Kimbrie creates an active mind and a restless urge to explore new ideas, we emphasize that it limits your versatility and scope, tuning you to technical details. This name, when combined with the last name, can frustrate happiness, contentment, and success, as well as cause health weaknesses in the solar plexus, and elimination system.

Your first name of Kimbrie has created contrasting qualities in your nature. You desire change and varied experiences and you are capable in many areas, but you do not excel because of your scattering, impulsive desires. With supportive influence from other names you may use, you could be creative or artistic in a practical way, but basically this name is a plodding influence, though you have a desire for greater expression. Although you desire to avoid monotony, you seem to be attuned to system, order, and attention to detail. You can be very analytical, exacting, and patient as long as there is a challenge holding your interest, such as in the field of computers with its technical challenge.

birthday   
11:00pm 17/02/2005
 
mood: confused
music: nothing
im almost 21. i feel kinda scared and lonely. i dunno if thats normal. i feel like i really want to start doing things that 21 year olds do.. but i know im scared and also dunno if i really want that at the same time. i know i kinda wanna be out with people right now instead of sitting here by myself. im afraid im going to spend most of tomorrow alone like i did the last two years. birthday's shouldnt be like that. i feel bad that mike and i didnt get to go out to dinner on his actual birthday. ive been feeling bad about that all day because i kept thinking about being lonely on mine. he had to be in a computer lab all nite too. ughs. :o(

but i still dont want to be by myself right now. i want to go out and have a shot at midnite or something.. or at least have some kind of party tomorrow. i dont know.. :o(

shouldnt i be happy about all this?
