I TEMPORARILY switched over to Blogspot, but I think I like the familiarity of LiverJournal better. Right now, I'm trying out flickr as a photo hosting site, rather than photobucket. We'll see.

I just came back from an Ivy League tour. It was fun and it also was not. The pendulum always swings both ways. hahaa

I have a stack of medical-esque books on the corner of my desk. should I attempt to read them? Idk.

I don't think I really know myself. I have always thought that having a career that involves doing different things everyday would be awesome. That has brought me to the conclusion that I'm very whimsical. As much as I love set plans, I hardly ever experience plans following all the way through. My younger sister planned out all the sites she wanted to see when she went to California; she researched directions, times, what you can do there, etc. I admire her for that. I tried to do the same thing for the Ivy League tour so that that I would at least be able to see things I WANTED to see, but I lacked the motivation for the research..and the time.
So i'm whimsical.

Am I good at anything? some may say photography, but idk, i think it's luck. I barely know anything about the camera...heh..
I'm not musical, although I do enjoy music as much as the next person. I can't really draw. What the fuck am I? Who am I? I often don't feel confident, but since our realities come from what we believe, would that mean that if I walked around thinking I was confident..I would BE confident? Maybe that's what I need to do.

i think i can, i think i can...

i
think i'm going to ccc ........
i'm trying to figure out if it's really what i want
or if it's just comfortable...for everyone
including me

i hope
that in the event that i commit myself to this
i won't regret it
because i seem to have a tendency to do
stuff like that

hm
so why can't this be the 60s
why can't this be the dawning of the counter culture?
i'm not sure if it's because of the drugs
or the laid-backness
or the music


sometimes during the day
i think that our generation is the dawning of a NEW counter culture
the educated and the lower class will rise up
maybe everyone will rise up
we'll protest about rising gas prices
taxes
war
SAMESEX marriage
abortion
&ofcourse religion

maybe

YOURE GONNA DIE FOR THE GOVERNMENT !

rejected from cornell.









that was pretty much expected
but the suspense was pretty crazy, the possibility of actually getting in, wow.
but i'm accepted to university of pittsburgh-greensburg or something like that.

i really wish that i could just live in upstate ny where cornell is. 
the place is ammmaazinngg
maybe i'll chill there and take classes at cornell
during the summer (except it would be mad humid)
AND GO ROCK CLIMBING, CANOING, BIKING, AND HIKING EVERYDAYYY

seeing as how i probably won't have enough money to fulfill my backpack tour of europe
i'm trying to scope out some other possible really cool and adventurous-just graduated from high school activities-
i saw a commercial for utah and it's got me hooked.
i'm also contemplating teaching english in mexico or some s. america country
then i can improve mi espanol while satisfying my desire to get the fuck out of here

and then there's jobs.
i need one. god dammit
i applied to so many friggin places alreadyyy
gr.

Is it just me, or has this year gone by really fast?  I'm thinking about my life, summing it up, and it pretty much amounts to nothing.  I haven't 'made a name for myself' or risen above any adversities. 

I've been feeling extremely nostalgic recently; possibly because I'm 18...getting old!  The other day I was in Sicklerville (hometown) and..even though I knew it was coming, I was shocked at the progression of construction in that area.  I remembered walking around there on the grass or the shoulders, not the side-walks.  My friends and I would make daily hikes to Wawa, McDonald's, and even Creamies/Creanies while singing Senses Fails and Taking Back Sunday lyrics.  I remember the old houses and the old families and the old farms.  They are now in the process of being parking lots and shops.  The friggin place already has so much traffic.  We still own our old house.  Which sorta allows me to see the changes inside the abode from which I was raised.  It's strange how a place can really change once you leave it for awhile.  The kitchen isn't our kitchen anymore.  The TV room has a sliding door which I used to sneak out of, it's been amatuerly decorated with long drapes and has been concentrated on as the main focus of the room.  I'm all for interior design, but it made me sick.  My room.  wow.  If you've ever read 'All Quiet on The Western Front,' the part where Paul goes home after being on the front for several years, nails how I felt when I walked into my old room.  Last year I hung out with Nose and we went back to the neighborhood and it was apparent how things have changed.  Old groups of friends are split into new groups, and there's boyfriends, girlfriends, jobs, school, etc.  Sometimes old friends and I make contact, trying to make plans again.  Even though I have time, and could get a ride, I don't, I ignore themmm.  I guess going by there touched my childhood memories and caressed the times and the people that I sort of miss.


Although they were good times, I don't think I ever want to go back.
So much has changed.

screens are overtaking my life

HANDS IN PLACES WHERE THEY PROBABLY SHOULDN'T GOOO

my grandmother in the philippines sent me a birthday card.  it's a pretty glittery card with a cute little girl on it, flowers etc.  this card isn't like our cards because it's sorta flimsy..and actually made out of 8 1/2 ' by 11 ' paper.  i like it because it's from my somewhat sane grandmother that i haven't seen since last february and it seems to hold some invisible uniqueness.

the edges are cut crookedly.

on the back it says 'MADE IN U.S.A'

THOSE WORDS AT BEST

SLOW FADE OF LOVE
[info]girlismurderr
i've only been accepted to temple university.  and although i like that school, i wouldn't have applied to it if i didn't.  but i just dont. want.to.go.there.  i want to get the fuck out of this tri-state area.  i want to live amongst other people. i want to go south, but i also want to go west.  i want to stay on the east coast so that airplane tickets to europe and africa will be cheaper.  but i just, need, a vacation.  im sick of the same people.  i want to meet others.  i want to inhale the air of other lands and digest the food of different cultures.  im just sick of this tri-state area.  i should've looked into international schools.  most of the time i just want to stay inside closed quarters to avoid the sight of this sickly state.  i need a change.  but why?  i've been constantly finding myself in a rut and a desire for difference.  i dont want to go shopping because they won't alleviate shit.  i want to do something different.  like rock-climbing or sailing or just god  damn walking without a coat and feeling scared.  i dont want to get lost in a movie.  i want to read more books and learn something.  i dont want this cellphone.  i dont want a new one either. 

i feel like i want to lose connection with the people i know so that i can run away from them and myself and this state.


i just want to get away.
or maybe i'm just pms-ing.

I'M ADDICTED TO THE 'ONCE' SOUNDTRACK!!

I haven't kept up the deal of putting up entries every week.  i suck, i have no commitment without some sort of motivation.  but in the mean time i've come across a plethora of intellectual..or just interesting observations and realizations. 

emotional impulse habits
-->habit of target:  shopping

one tries to suppress negative uncontrollable emotions by shopping. it's basic common knowledge depicted through movies and acquaintances.  why would you want to buy things when you're angry though? 

unconsciously we attach an emotion, a feeling, a memory, or a person to the merchandise.  doesn't that sound just a tad bit counter productive?  this emotional impulse shopper would associate the anger with whatever they bought and ultimately augment the negative emotion.  yes.  it is counter productive.


side note:  why do i feel like pieces of my mind deteriorate whenever i watch the tele (movie or tv shows) or use the computer or cell phone for an extensive amount of time?

maybe it's true.

it's like the saying "when it rains, it pours."
in my case, it feels like when i get hw it's a lot...a lot.
but is it really a lot, or am i just making a big deal because i haven't had hw in awhile?

i have tests in every class tomorrrowww
ugh

i've been really tired lately and having dry eyes all the time
im like an addict with eye drops these days

i hate this weather too.

so i have a late opening tomorrow, im not sure if i should fake it and pretend to have regular arrival..but just walk? so that when i "walk" to school on friday it won't seem suspicious
i dont know

i kinda hate having to sneak around
but i guess it's what makes it thrilling
