| Global Warming..... |

Maybe I'm small minded or something but I just don't understand how people can still say that Global Warming is fake. Ignoring the fact that there is more scientific evidence to support the reality of Global Warming then there is to support the claim that smoking is bad for you, I would like to pose a few questions.
1. If the world isn't getting hotter, how do you explain the shrinking of the ice caps and glaciers? Let's be serious here for a minute. These ice structures have been around for millions, even billions of years with minimal decreases in their size. Now they are getting dramatically smaller in size every year. This is fact. You can't deny measurements. You're telling me that Global warming has nothing to do with it? Honestly.
2. How do you explain the correlation between the development of industry and the increasing temperature and melting of the ice caps? Now, I recognize that correlation does not equal causation but can you really chalk it up to coincidence? I'd say the jump to the conclusion that the events are occurring by coincidence is much farther then the one to the events being a chain reaction.
3. President Bush says he will not seek ratification of environmental initiatives like the Kyoto Protocol,which aims to lessen carbon emissions and so on, because of the strain it would put on the economy. You wanna know what else is a detriment to our economy? A food supply shortage due to parched soil and loss of coastal farmland due to the effects of global warming. Do we really need another example of President Bush putting business first over the everyday citizen, who will suffer the worst of the fallout from global warming? Although I wish I had thought of it myself, I say, More Trees, Less Bush.
-Other industrialized countries have recognized the reality of Global Warming. Why is the United States behind Russia, Britain, Canada and India?
4. This has nothing to do with Global Warming but I just accidentally clicked the little red X tab on my browser and I was all worried that I had lost this rant when I reopen the window and LiveJournal SAVED my draft. Amazing.
5. For those who say the evidence is not enough to take serious action...I ask, when is there enough evidence? When the ice caps are completely gone and the ocean has risen some seven meters? While the critics call for more research on the subject, its getting worse. At the risk of sounding like an evangelist, time is a luxury our planet no longer has. I also ask, what is the harm in accepting Global Warming as fact and make changes to stop it? We should be reducing our dependency on fossil fuels anyhow, since they are not immediately renewable. If in 100 years, someone finds our the Global Warming does not, in fact, exist then so what? We would have found more sources of renewable energy and there's nothing bad about that.
In short, recycle, don't be an idiot, Global Warming exists and write a letter to President Bush telling him to stop being such a tool for Big Business and start being a team player for Planet Earth. |

It has actually turned out to be a pretty eventful weekend.
On friday, Nicole and I journeyed back to the Bridge to fetch my check. Then we went to the bank and to my house and we got Veronica and we were going to go to lunch at the Little Coffee Bean but apparently, they close at 2 now...So lame. So we dropped V off and went to Qdoba. At Qdoba, I saw Rich which was strange. (and I saw Danielle who was in the car) They might be the most confusing people on the planet. Just maybe.
After we got back to Fitchburg we went to the Salvation Army and found a couch for $5. (nope, not a typo) So, my dad came up and helped us bring it back to school. Let me just tell you how much fun it was getting that damn couch upstairs....It was fun. I'll be honest, if it wasn't for Jen (who, P.S. it strong on a superhuman level)we probably wouldn't have been able to do it. We got all settled and then we went to see Employee of the Month. It was good. Jessica Simpson has absolutely NO acting ability whatsoever but it was ok. Haha.
Today, Nicole and I finished the suite. We put up a curtain (which we are in love with), pinned the cover on the couch, put up our decorations for Halloween and it looks fucking spectacular.
Then, Nicole and Jen made apple pie. It was really good. Fat ass over here had two pieces. After that we went over to Jen's to watch X-Men 3, which I have never seen. Nicole and i snuggled on Stephanie's bed. It was sexy.
Tomorrow is Witch's Woods. Be prepared for an entry about what a pansy ass I was later on. haha.
Goodnight! |

Its been a busy couple weeks.
Last week, was my great grandmother's funeral. Let me tell you, THAT was fun. It was very sad to see my grandpa so sad. I knew I had a large family but I didn't realize how huge it was. My greatgrandmother had like 56 great grandkids and 4 great great grandkids. Um, wow. Then I thought about it and my grandfather has 16 grandkids, all of which were at my Aunt's house for Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving was fun. I had a really good time having food passed over me. Yeah. Good times. There were many children.
I've worked an awful lot. I hate work. hehe. okay, back to Chrismukkah cards and Desperate Housewives. |

Due to recent events that have been beyong my control, from now on, my entries will be FRIENDS ONLY!
I know, I know. I HATE friends only journals but since there are so many people reading and being brats about it, I feel that I have no other choice. You would think that people would have enough common sense not to read it but alas, they don't.
It was one thing when just one or two people who shouldn't be reading it read it but now, there's a whole bunch of people so....FRIENDS ONLY.
Sorry guys, now you're just going to have to be mad at me for things I actually say to you. |

Friday, Katie came to visit. It was splendid. We watched her play softball with the boys. She was the best player on the team, hands down. (okay, I'm biased) After we finished that, she showered at Veronica's and then we prepared to go to dinner at papa gino's. On the way to the car, something terrible happened. My sister called. Asking (inviting herself) to come up with jen (who was already coming) I had just told her last week that I didn't want her here. And you all know why. in case you dont:
1. she's irritating
2. I go to school to get away from home
3. I HATE her hanging out with my friends
4. I wanted to hang out with MY friends and she's my sister, not my friend
5. I dont like babysitting my psuedo-drunk older sister
6. She runs and tells my mom EVERYTHING that happens (please refer to Jen's 4th of July party 2004)
and there are many more but I do not have the time or space to list them. So, i tried to explain to her that I did not want her there but she started getting all pissy so I started getting all pissy. And we hung up on each other and I was like, "watch....10 minutes from now my mother will call to yell at me" Proof positive that I am truly a psychic.....my mother DID call and she DID yell at me.
She actually did not just yell at me. She proceeded to tell me that I was selfish and only thought about myself and that although i may not think so, my sister has feelings and that if i was going to continue to treat her that way I could stay at school and that I would not have a place to come back to and that all of her friends were going to be there....all of HER friends? Excuse me? All of her friends? Bullshit. MY friends. Oh yeah. She went to town. Had herself quite the time attacking me as a person. I'll be honest, i was so frustrated that I cried. (dont worry we will go back to this subject in a bit) We ate dinner and then we met Jen back at school.
We proceeded to have a lovely night. Just the 5 of us sitting around. We had a blast. (see the pics on Webshots. Link's in my profile) It was nice because the four of us NHS girls hardly ever spend time together alone. There are always other NB people around. Actually,we determined that it had never happened before so we got a picture for evidence. (thanks Mel)
We all woke up around 12 and headed to brunch. After that jen and i headed home to Northbridge. Which i was not going to do after my conversation with Linda. But i needed to do laundry. I went to Joanna's and spent a few hours there and then I got up enough courage to go home. Lucky me, no one was there. So I took a shower, got dressed, left my dad a note and went to Veronica's. Then I went back home and went directly to my room until my dad got home. I talked to my dad for a bit and told him i was going to Veronica's for the night. It was fun. We did laundry in her creepy basement and drank tea and ate rice from the China Pacific and watched Oklahoma! Twas a good time.
The next morning, I went home so my dad could check out my car (Ethel) Ethel is sick. She had to stay in Northbridge. Dad tried to get me to apologize to mom and shannon but I dont owe either one of them an apology. If anything, my mother owes me one.
My sister and I are old enough to fight on our own without mommy interfering and 'fixing' everything and if we can't, oh well. I didnt want to hang out with her when we were kids and I dont want to now. Furthermore, she only wants to hang out with me when I'm hanging out with my friends which means she wants to hang out with THEM not me. So screw that. Right now, my mother and I arent speaking. She's insane and I'm done.
As far as my sister goes....not talking to her either. She can get her own friends, thanks.
Nicole and i are looking at an Uncle Jesse website and listening to Forever(aka my future wedding song). Yeah.......Full House rocks. |

It has recently come to my attention that almost everyone I know has gone CRAZY on some level or another. I really did think it was me being all wierd and out of sorts but I have recently decided that no....its all of you crazy fuckers.
What the hell, guys? What are ya doing to me? Act normal please. Stop doing all the insane shit. Please. I thought it might be the full moon but that was nights ago and yet still......things are occuring that are flooring me. It's all so very confusing.
Whatever. I am having trouble keeping up.
Also, I am resting my entire hopes that FSC can be fun on Friday night. If friday night sucks, I will probably spend every weekend at home for the rest of the semester. (which may or may not excite some ppl) So, here's hoping it rocks. |

Apparently, there is some girlie partying going on this weekend. I'm pretty excited about it. It'll be fun to have (almost) all the girls together. Unfortunately, since my roommate will not be here to entertain me I will have to find some way to entertain myself. Oh gosh, I hope I don't get into trouble. Cuz, we all know that could totally happen. hehe.
Speaking of friends......I'm thinking it's about that time of the year when I do some 'evaluating'. Oh calm down, don't get ur knickers in a twist because chances are you have NO idea what I am talking about. haha.
Nicole and i are now going to look up Canada stuff. She's so sweet. Trying to keep me busy so I don't jump out a window. Love that girl TONS!!!!!!!! |

about when you call your parents and automatically regret it? I think it applies on some level to visiting them. I tried having a nice conversation with my mom about school and SOMEHOW she managed to make me feel even worse. What can i say? She's talented like that.
The drive there was nice. Extremely relaxing. Mind clearing. Lovely.
I did some laundry. Visited with my cousins. Got back in around 8.
Did I mention I totally failed my math test? I was the second one done and everything seemed easy.....I HAD to have failed. Nothing is ever that easy. Whatever. I hate math.
okay. Time to put on a smile. SMILE SMILE SMILE.
Laguna is on tonight! |

Yeah, I'll bite....I think I'm homesick. Which is kinda gay cuz I'm not a huge fan of home AND I've been here like two weeks. I spent a good deal of last night sitting around and talking to SC. That helped a lot. It's nice to know I'm not the only one that was thinking it. We made potential plans to hang out next weekend. After that I went for a walk with Dave cuz he was kinda feeling down. We visited Adam and then I went to see his room and we crashed on Kevin and Veronica. That was kinda fun. I felt a little better after that.
I dont know what's with me. I just all of a sudden felt the need to go home. Just for a little while. Like, as if to prove to myself that it's still there or something. Maybe I just shouldn't be alone. I notice that is when I get like this. I think it gives me too much time to just think. I need constant distraction. Like 24/7 distraction. Haha, wow thats so bad. I'm so needy. Ah well.
Boooooooo! This sucks. haha. I love that I'm 'ha ha-ing' in this entry. It may be possible that I am completely insane. I think i just need to clear my head. Okay, I'll do that soon. Right now I gotta do some mad homework. Notes, a test tomorrow. (its math, please pray for me) and stuff.
P.S. Yay for Nicole on her great date! |

Things today was a total waste of:
* the water it took to shower
* make up
* a clean shirt and jeans
* hair product
* coffee (what the hell did I need to be awake for?)
I will not mention that I once again, tortured my hair with the blow dryer and straightener for no good reason. Well, I guess I just did mention it. Ah well.
Now, many of you may recall my summer entries about how all I did was work and I had zero social life. Well, I thought that it would be different once I got back to school. Yeah, its not. During the week I go to class and come back to my room and then i go to daka. Repeat until its bedtime. On the weekend, I basically kill time in between daka. Fitchburg state is soooooooooooo boring. And I can say it's boring because I'm not one of the losers that goes home every weekend. Yeah. I stick it out. I hope and pray that something interesting happens but every weekend....NOTHING. I hate weekends. Weekends suck. The campus is all lonely and boring. Yuck. I know you are all probably going to die of a heart attack when you hear this but I'd honestly rather be home. (yes, I know that if was at home I'd be bitching about how there is nothing to do in Northbridge) Maybe I'm just impossible to please. No matter where I am, I want to be somewhere else. Whatever. I'm bored. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
bored!
BORED!
BORED!
It's freakin 9 oclock and I just in my my pajamas. I'm thinking about doing some homework. I started some psych notes a little earlier. its a fucking saturday night? I'm in college. I'm a slightly attractive girl. WHY do I have nothing to do? God, I am such a fucking loser.
eh. |

mood:  blah music: the Tv

Things started off pretty great. I watched the O.C. ryan and Marissa got kicked out of school because Marissa shot someone and Ryan hit the dean. I love it when Ryan hits ppl. Veronica brought over our huge bottle of vodka. She says it will last the weekend. I say, Which weekend?
We expiremented with different drinking concoctions and I played bartender. Yet an other night with the intention of getting wicked drunk and failing miserably. kevin came over for a little. Veronica, Nicole, Kevin and I drank a little. Kevin and Veronica made fun of me. I couldnt really hear what they were saying because the Tv and music were too loud but I KNOW they were. lol. Just as I was starting to feel it Veronica and kevin left and I was all alone with Nicole. I convinced her to go for a walk because I was bored. We got to the quad and she wanted to go back so I brought her back to the room and then I went for a walk solo. I sat on some steps and laid down to play with my phone and a police man drove by and asked if I was okay. i said yes and he drove away. He called me ma'am. Yeah, I got ma'amed by a cop. Not cool. So I texted veronica to tell her about this. She later called and asked why I sent her that message 6 times. I didnt send it 6 times. She may have recieved it 6 times but i only sent it once. Check my outbox. I swear. So Nicole calls me and asked me to come back. So I get back the room and then she starts throwing up. OF COURSE she starts throwing up. Poor thing. She was sick all night. (notice that I was again, all alone with a sick kid and a dead buzz) She was throwing up until this morning. That girl can puke, I'll give her that. She's all better now. Eating chicken and stars. We made friends with one of the other nicole's. (christine's roommate) shes really nice. One of her friends got sick too. Our other suitemates must hate us. Our side always has the sick kids. (usually guests)
We should do something nice for them. Well, we did decorate the common room. Well, I have to get ready for class. Bye! |
