love. fun. sun.

i'm singin' in the west side

2006-04-09T19:16:00.000-04:00

this weekend, if catigorized could be put under the title: the weekend judy went to see school plays.
Friday night (after finishing drivers ed!!!!!), debbie and i headed out to websta (cuz it's gangsta) to meet up with nicole for a quick dinner before lindsey and rachels play. it was altogether fitting and propor that we should do so (to quote some president or famous speech, not really sure) seeing as we hadn't really seen her in forever. then we went to see singing in the Rain at webster thomas high school. mostly just becuase i love lindsey and rachel and it'd been too long since we had seen them and all their various assorted comrades. it was really good. rachel's dress was fab. lindsey was the best tech. dirrector i've ever met (and that's saying a lot, i've met quite a few).
the next morning we got raped by batavia on the track. pretty embarassing. it was also about -983 degrees outside which sucked. thank god for vas that's all i'll say. oh also, i ran slow. yay for training hard paying off! (not).
after napping and showering, i met some of the faves (matt, katie, jessie, craig) plus teddy at applebees for an early dinner before the pittsford musical west side story (hence the singing in (websterplay) the west side (pittsford) title). dinner was fab. then we walked over to wegs (to get ice cream) and i saw becca and debbie there. aparentaly they were out to dinner too. i also saw emma and meg and cahlin. talk about brighton track wants dinner night. Katie and craig left because they weren't going to see the play and jessie and i left because she had to get back to warm up her clairnet before pit but teddy and matt stayed and got ice cream. good news: jessie didn't stall once on teh way to sutherland! Matt and teddy came and we realized matt left his ticket at applebees. oh well, thank god for the secret prefomres only entrance huh? the play was amazing. Christina, andraes, jackie, along with will, kyle, and connor, plus jessie, kelley and tim were amazing at their vairous acting, prop-moving and music-playing jobs. i also saw abby jason and and paige and coach erwin tehre which was excellent.
nate had a meet a U of R today so i went out there for awhile and got nice and sunburned while visitng with him for ages which was quite nice. taryn ran so i saw her to.

man i cna't wait for OTC!

Do you believe in magic?

2006-03-29T21:37:00.000-05:00

Today was a good day. the weather was amazing which is what made it good. i do have good days too occasionally it seems, which is nice. acutally, i rarely have such awful days as i had the past 2 weeks.

I <3 SUN! summer= soooo soon. OTC= sooner!(maybe not a word, maybe i don't care)

I put up pix from nationals today http://community.webshots.com/user/iheartbxc2
new domain^^
check out that sweetness

cuz you had a bad day, you're taking one down you sing a sad song just to turn it around

2006-03-28T22:24:00.000-05:00

yah, long title i know, but i figured i'd continue my old trend of title song quote naming.

pretty much the past 2 weeks of school have been hell.this story takes place last thrusday and progresses in an orderly fashion. first i would like to express my deep hatred of the school nurse. she is a bitch. i was in french minding my own business and she called me down there. i was like hmm what could this be for, as students rarely get called down to the nurses office. when i got there i was like so umm what am i here for? the nurse goes "i'll tell you when mr. kaplin gets here" at this point, i was a little confused b/c she wanted me to wait until the athletic director got there... aparently i had committed and atheltic felony. blah blah blah bitch bitch bitch on her part and eventually, the nurse, Mr. Kaplin and i were in a small dimly lit cross-examaination room (k, fine, one of the nurses little side rooms) with my father on speaker phone trying to explain to them taht no, i had not faked my physical form.
that was outrageous. who in their right mid would fake their physical form. my dad said later it was like the nurse felt like she was CSI brighton because she felt she needed to bring up things such as "the signatures on your phycials are different" (it's called a nurse practitioner, HELLO!) anyway so then mr. kaplin who was obvi satisfied with my story and the one that my dad VERIFIED and he left. at that point i was like bitch, please, i have french and left.
fast foward an hour: leaving AP ENGLISH class and mrs. flynn calls me and emily up to the front of hte room to give us detnetion. yes that's right detnetion. what a bitch. we had nothing better to do in english so she sent us to the lib. we left the lib. to go to the cafe for the last 15 mintues of class and for soem reason taht seemed to warrent a 2-hour detention after school (my frist one EVER ps.). joy. a meeting with mr. hall later and all i had was a lunch date with him instaead of after school time. awesome.
3 ish hours later after a hellish workout leave for freakign SNOW SHOE NATIONALS in vermont! so my dad tells me the follow up of the nurse issue story in which she was a complete bitch to my mom (not beliving her, me, or my dad about the phycial forms, the conspiracy theory i guess) which ended up with my mom hanging up on her. haha. also, she refused to accpet a confrence call my dad set up with the doctors office to indeed verify that i had not faked my physical form. aparently she didn't believe the doctor either. damn communists.
Vermont was fun. i'm offically in love with middlebury college and their sweet programs. espeically the J-term. extra time for amazing winter sports in vermont, yes, please! my fav. part may be the point where mike walks into the summer term (where you can't speak english cuz it's foreign language school) and goes I'M SPEAKING ENGLISH. hmm. it may not be as funny now. The coach seemed pretty nice and D3 national champs 3/6 years doesn't sound bad to me!
Nationals rocked my socks off. Trip. Z. relay team in all our glory became national champs (we always knew we could do it!)as did Cash Money. there was also some good hot-tubing, pool partying and Pictonary cheating. it was also amazing to see carolyn.
what sucked was getting back to school on monday to find various things wrong such as: needing to make up 3 periods of french class in the next week, needing to make up 2 class activities and a quiz in physics about which Steve feels like he needs to be an ass to me, it may not be possible like i thought to get an A as a final grade in Calc due to "unlimited extra credit curve on teh 4th quarter" not acutally being unlimited, double war outline week, needing to make up an American quiz, and, well, i'm sure there's much more. i hate school. also, i hate the commotion that prom has brought about. it's in 2 months and yet march seems like the pefect time to FrEaK oUt.
fodnest wishes;
judy

in other good news, colt visited on wed. that was quite excellent and fun and a break from reality. also, i didn't miss the OC thusday night though it had be a little down in teh dumps about Ryan and Marissa ever making it together.
i think my bad luck lately may be due to teh fact that i broke a mirrior in like feb. by dropping it.

look at this photograph, every time i do it makes me laugh

2006-03-12T18:45:00.000-05:00

yah... new photos... words later

this one time, at the state meet...

2006-03-05T12:42:00.000-05:00

being superfans and all, jessie, debbie and i headed down to the state meet for some quality cheer-age. Jessie and i made some posters (with lindsy's help of course) and being the smart children we are, forgot them in the car.

it all started out at 630 am when we woke up and dragged our tired bodys around the house getting dressed to make it in time for Katie Bower's race. yah, good luck with that one. becasue the town of ithica is so dumb, the signs pointing to conrnell just end after awhile and then they're like "haha you're lost" and you have to find your way. normally, we'd all be up for a good treasure hunt but we were racing the clock here and had no time for such foolish things.

once we finally got to cornell, (take cornell street/ follow cars with cornell bumper stickers)it took us about 293874293874 minutes to find a parking space 9 lightyears away. Jessie, Elton, Debbie and i then walked to the track in time to catch katie bower and MARK PUGLISE! leaving on a cooldown. (yes, a cooldown, we missed katie's beastly race in which she won the super sweet heat of the 3k)and thus, our 630 wake up was in vain.

Chilling with the section V people for awhile was cool and we almost got to witness a fight with the saratgoa coach which would have been spelendid. instead of watching the intersectional relay, we decided that katie needed to shower and thus walked though the sketchiest tunnel i have ever seen to the shower place where katie showered fast as not to get raped by the butt-naked women.

fast foward to lunch: we went out to this place with mark, the laveck's katie and her mom and katie orderd just about everything on the menu because she is fat. we also had some insightful conversations about the 80's and made it back in time for the boys meet.

we made it back just in time to watch corey run a kick-ass 2-mile and still have time to schlep back out to the car to get the posters. the thing about getting the posters was that there also happened to be really good cookies in teh car. i think they may have had acid in them or something because whatever it was, we forgot to bring the posters again. also we decided upon this: you're officially fat when... the first 2 rows of cookies are gone so you turn the thing around so you can get at them more easily.

The intersectional medly relay blew my mind. matt, this other boy and dan all ran amazing. Tim ran sooooo well and i nearly peeded my pants i got so excited during his race (on a sidenote, i almost lost my voice as well). the boys finish 2nd. that's second in the state. so he came back adorned with all his various bling from being 2nd in the state which was pretty sweet. sadly as much as we watned to stay around and party with really fast people, we had to make it home by 9 so we left.

we stopped for food on the way back of course, demonstarting our immense fattness and then tried to get home. getting home was working pretty well until we discovered koureeiy's number in jessie's phone so naturally we had to call it. it turned out to be our good friend corey who decided that his name needed to be spelled differently. we spent the remainder of the ride back on the phone with corey and matt (at the same time) and hanging up on them and getting ridiculous phone messages. most of the messages were like "hey, it's matt (it was really corey) just checking in on you guys" "hey it's matt (still corey), just wanted to see how you guys are dong" "hey it's matt (corey) you should probably call me" and other such things. corey also told us ridiculous stuff like tim held a gun to his head to read jessie's text messages (which was another thing the boys did).

the night concluded with me going to sleep at 9:30 and getting 13 hours of sleep. yah, that was quite nice.

two months and twenty-two days

2006-03-02T22:04:00.000-05:00

that's how long it's been since i last updated. jeeze that's a long time.
it's probably because i staretd myspace. i'm ending that now as it put viruses on my computer. even if it didn't, i'm getting a bit sick of it anyway. i still have facebook becuase i am a complete and total internet whore.
i have also not deleated my webshots.
a ton has happened so i won't even try and recap. mostly it can be sumed up as a really good time. also, i turned 17. instead, i will leave you with my webshots address and let you do most of it through photos : http://community.webshots.com/user/iheartBXC these photos are not so recent but 'meh.
one huge stressor that has been added to my life is college. it's still way more then a year before i leave the comfort of my home and yet my parents are acting as though i leave tomrrow.
i really like UPENN.
saturday jessie and i are going to watch states. i'm excited.

remember that time i didn't update for a year...

2005-12-08T18:54:00.000-05:00

ok so i may have exagereated a little. the truth is, i havn't really had the time. the time? you say, as in i don't have 5 minutes to type 150 words into this box once a week, but the truth is, i also forgot a little. basically where we left off, our girls team had just succded in not winning sectionals and our boys team had done it by a point.

Being the super fans we are, carol, michelle emily, debbie, emily's mom and i piled into their mini-van to go up and cheer for mui, pinto, mike, pat, ruben, dan, jared, catherine, alyssa and other assorted friends from different teams. that trip was a blast. i dont think i ever stoped laughing or got any sleep.

probably the next big thing that happened was when i went to go see harry potter. only becuase i really effing loved that movie. there were acutally a few scary parts (refrance to emily wimpering next to me, the thing about the word wimpering is... wimpering) yah that weekend/night was fun. i think that's roundabouts when lindsey wrote that thing about us being stir-crazy.

Folowing the trend of pretty big things was goign to NYC wiht the xc team. that was pretty much some of the best clean cut wholesome running high fun i've had in awhile (i had a good race) and well.. we pretty much just lived it up. there was some singing, some dancing and some... well... streaking. all and all it was a great trip and i got to spend some time wiht some xc kids who i didn't really see all season. (crazy ain't it, how you can be on the same team and still feel like you havn't seen someone in forever)

in sucky news: BRIGHTON INDOOR GIRLS TEAM INCOMPLETE. that's right, we don't even have enough ladies to man a 4x800 relay.. even if we take our 1 JV distance girl. yay. also, the new coachs don't seem like huge judy fans.

so basically, i think that's most of what's happend to me since... well... a long time ago. feel free to check it out pictorially on my webshots (somewhere on the side margin)

♥judy

P.S. RIP JOHN LENNON, ♥an adoring fan.

Another LHRIII Masterpiece

2005-11-20T21:54:00.000-05:00

The CITs, varied as we are, stand united in the face of a seemingly certain and common doom. From across the nation, a group of extremely different children on the cusp of adulthood gather together as they had before. Arranged around a dining table, held back after the campers had been dismissed from breakfast, we wait. Colby, an Amazonian blonde goddess from Boston, self-assured and intelligent, more than year younger than all of us, holds her head up high and tosses her tresses. Twins from Brighton, a fiery red-head and a tiny brunette, clasp their fists and blanch under their freckles. All six feet one inch of Will seems to shrink in an effort to appear careless and aloof, while passive Liam loses all color and recedes under his mop of unruly gold stripes. A dramatic swimmer and actress takes her habitual stance of defiance, ready to cry or scream or smolder at a moments’ notice whether or not the situation requires it. Liz is silent as the grave, arms crossed, her eyes never slowing, darting and seeking the faces of all of us, looking for support, for strength. The other Floridian, Danielle, is as brash as ever, sheltered behind her self-destructive veneer of Sambas and camouflage, projecting an air of complete control. My stomach clenches and I can feel the hot blood rushing to my ears. Nostrils flared, jaw taut, every sense attuned and racing, I sit in silence among these rebels, my family.
We are ready for chastisement, ready for punishment. We are not ready for the stone-cold disappointment that was to rain down upon us. The imposing figure of Buddha looms next to us, our leader and future employer poised like a teetering avalanche. The pale face of our CIT mom, Heather, normally so cheerful and rosy, now sits in lines of anger and fatigue. Normally ebullient Sebastian crosses his arms and leans against a table, as if gathering strength in the face of a particularly unpleasant task. The first words of our dressing-down come as a shock. “Time to cut the petty bull****, guys,” thunders Buddha from somewhere overhead. As the words rain down like brimstone on our bent and belabored consciences, my eyes burn. Tears well, spill out, and cut swathes of ice across my burning cheeks. Damn them, I think. I curse my weakness, the looks of pity I receive from Heather and my fellow CITs, shaming me into a stonewalled silence. Brave Colby tightens her jaw, brash Danielle nods along to the speeches, careless Will ignores the emotion now escaping from Debbie, Judy and I. The disappointment of these giants, these Herculean influences, these heroes…it is almost more than my newly broken back can bear.

-Much love, kids.

the day debbie and judy climbed shit

2005-11-13T17:40:00.000-05:00

The Day That Debbie and Judy Climbed Shit
Fed up with APUS homework? Sick of Calc and French? Ready for some Phish Food?
You know who to call.

D. and J. seem to consider me their sanity, their weekend stabilizer. I am flattered beyond belief...so, Los Merzbachos and I traveled over hill and dale, picked up a pint of Ben & Jerry's, and made our Merry way to Webster Park, where the pier is covered in seagull excrement, the hills are steep, and the trees are inviting.

After happily interrupting at some entwined couples and remarking on some dead fish, we consumed our own Phish Food on the griminess of Webster Pier. It was basically a free-for-all for the fudge fish, let's face it. Sticky, and in Deborah's case, face-painted with chocolate, we clambered up a rather large hill, darted across the metropolitan Lake Road, and found some sweeeeet climbing trees.

Let me pause in my narrative to express a few facts about Deborah Jean and Judith Anne Merzbach: They CANNOT sit still. If it's vertical, it was put on the earth to be climbed, slid down, balanced on and generally appreciated. Their philosphy is admirable, and needless to say I am very very jealous. Yours truly is landlocked.

Anyway: I found an excellent tree, and after two boosts and some Tarzan poses, both Deborah and Judith conquered it...Then the nice Parks & Rec man came: "That's really impressive, you guys. Good climbing, yeah...but you know, that's why we cut off the bottom limbs, so people can't do that. But good job!"

So down they came, and we went looking for some swingsets. Undaunted, they both assaulted the swingsets, and sat on the top bar, swung around it, and slid down the sides, fireman style.

...Re-enter the P & R guy, this time in a truck.
"RUUUUUUNN!"

Topped off with an arsenic scare, some Carbon Leaf, Jason Mraz and BTE appreciation, really, the best Sunday afternoon I've had in a long while.

---Love,
Lindsey Heckman Reddig III

cuz we're running just as fast as we can

2005-11-10T19:00:00.000-05:00

so tomrrow [carol's 17th birthday] michelle, emily, carol, debbie and i are going on a small roadtrip via emily's mom to the state meet! we're staying overnight in saratoga i think and well, it's going to be a blast! also, today is michelle's 16th birthday, she's kind of a big deal.

them wild bad boys that had been away havn't changed, had much to say

2005-11-07T21:15:00.000-05:00

This weekend was fab. my boys were back for the weekend and thus we were reunited as a whole again. Rate and Nachel, Lolt and Cindsey(nate rachel, lindsey and colt), i love you guys. i missed chel and zee's play for which i will be forever scorned but i think they understand. sectionals was saturday which went well. our girls didn't win as a team :'( but the boys pulled though by one point which is inspiring. somehow i managed to have 2 uber-fun surpise parties in one weekend. yah, those were a blast. Also, Nate and Colt left at the same time this morning, that was possibly one of the saddest things i've ever expirenced. I'm positive i did more this weekend, but i probably forgot it.
me n colt at the lake house looking hott
i love this picture, right after they found out they won, mike and pinto and manlove
what can i say, she knows me well?
yes folks, it was 74 degrees on sunday.

a new good song:
"and sometimes, i find myself letting you back in"
-matt nathensen

he was a sk8r boi

2005-10-29T20:31:00.000-04:00

TYE-DYE PARTY A MI CASA (pre-xc season)
these pictures are all just a little remnicient of a little pre-season girls bonding activity. seeing these pictures may justify the absolute closeness of our team.
wow.. i think we're probably the 2 scariest kids tye-dying at 3am!
michelle just couldn't keep her HANDS off me!
our escape to freedom (from getting dye on the floor)
carol=sex! especially with bags on her feet!
yah, my team is my love.

this title has absolutly nothing to do with this blog entry, which is the way it should be.

drop of a hat she's as thrilling as...

2005-10-27T17:41:00.000-04:00

hmm standard week i think. loads and loads of homework though... most likely reprocutions from not really doing any last weekend :-0 !

Anyway, no XC meet this week so tuesday dana and i flimed this really sweet morning show opening for halloween. yah, it's pretty much going to be sweet. and so that was fun. so was all the rain, mostly cuz i got to wear my NEW RAIN BOOTS. ''oh hewl'' they're hot.

today was pretty sweet becuase Stacy Prey brighton running legand (16:01 5k pr, if it means anything) came to talk with us for awhile. before that though, we went on a girls team indian run complete with such questions as "what's you're fav. unusual food combo" -ewwwww-"and interresting fact about yourself" "describe your ideal guy"-oo good choice- and "fav color"-that's hot-. yah that was some good bonding.

*****THIS JUST IN******
COLT AND NATE WILL BE BACK NEXT WEEKEND :-)

i remember running though the wet grass

2005-10-23T19:00:00.000-04:00

what a weekend. really. no meet, that pretty much made it. meant i could stay out on friday night so that's just what i did. met ethans camp friends which was cool they're pretty nice. dana michelle and i didn't end up watching Feaver Pitch cuz we hightailed it to ethans instead. it's ok though, cuz i've seen it. though it is a good movie.

yesterday was fun /w zee. first judy+zee day in awhile, maybe in forever. watched bend it like beckham. every time i watch it, i finish a little more in love with jonathan rhys-meyers and his irish accent. i also talked to bradley last night. that was nice, havn't heard from that kid in awhile.

today was hardcore homework. man, it's days like this that i just live for. NOT!

Post-script: lindsey gave me a BTE mix. it is my soul. well desperately wanting at least.

like strawberry wine

2005-10-20T22:12:00.000-04:00

idk... song playing though my head at the moment (usually, there's more of a reason for chosing)

anyway things going well over here. missing my boys a lot. grades arn't great cuz it's mid-quarter and my parents forgetting how things work of course, are freaking out; not to meantion my mom is shouting COLLEGE every 2 seconds. mmmmmmm college.

junior prom meeting today, hopefully things will be grand. also, MOSHO is fun now that dana's in.

yah... 18-2 is pretty sweet if you ask me. won the tuesday meet against everyone. i love us.

can't wait for the weekend. should be sweet, no meet, lot's of movies [uggh homework]. yup.

the boys are back in town

2005-10-17T20:13:00.000-04:00

this weekend was pretty grand. a lot of fun with the boys being here. i miss them a lot. it was most likely the worst monday ever. Empire Records is a really great movie; makes me wish there were a theme song to my life. joe, i can catigorically say that you are not a bigger banana head. *i think music town is a little torn of the revealing clothing issue*Didn't get much sleep this weekend with colt here and the PSAT's so i'm pretty tired. for what it's worth it was worth all the while. i think it's pretty much great that colt, nate, lindsey and rachel came to our meet saturday bearing signs that said "judith, why you so fine" and "will you marry me deborah jean". also, it was quite fun getting lost in the city by avenue D and fearing for my life. it felt like summer was ending again with the tears, good-byes and love. that's really hard.
first things first; a card for buddha
me and chel
me and nic
chel me nic and zee (yah, i'm making a face)
nate and chel
colt and me
<3
:'(

POP p-p-p-p-p-pop!

2005-10-11T21:56:00.000-04:00

mondays suck. fake mondays suck even more. s'ok though cuz at least i got my french and american tests out of the way. now all i have to deal with is calc and physics :)! oh man, that'll be fun. carol and i studied for american this morning in our frosh-fest of a library which means i'll have done well. i wish mrs. flynn would stop her insecent rocking, it's really driving me crazy!

so xc today... can you say DIVISON CHAMPS x3! yay brighton xc. i <3 you. even though it was nasty out, and also think i love mud.

beth, michelle, emily and i were discussing prom today, in gym of course, while mastering our table-tennis skills. mostly because our class sucks at fundraising, it'll probably be in our gym. yay. that's actually a joke, i hope.

COLT AND NATE COME THE DAY AFTER TOMRROW!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHH!

if you leave, don't leave now

2005-10-10T12:42:00.000-04:00

good news; DIANE GOT INTO FINDLEY!!! i'm pretty sure that's in Ohio. anyway...that was exciting this morning.

O. Lover

2005-10-09T10:41:00.000-04:00

ok, so pretty much, jason mraz was amazing! surprisingly a down to earth guy in an i'm-famous sort of way. also, he was wearing an RIT hat and a geek in pink shirt... that about made my day. seeing lindsey and rachel was an added bonus as well.

what was not so hot about all of that was the fact that we had to stand outside freezing for like an hour. i'm pretty sure i was getting hypothermic.

meet yesterday morning was FREEZING (not even kidding; it was sleeting, kids) but doing it relay style and well, winning, was fun! also, afterwards going in rubens hot tub just about made my day, until...

matt deady's hot tub, which was also a good time, and equally as bad for your body. dont' worry, we stayed hydrated and got out like once for like a mintue, so chanes are we're ok.

i wish it were normal fall weather not winter-fall weather.

not to meantion the fact that colt and nate are comming on thursday, and laura's comming home for that weekend. SO excited.

one week since you looked at me, threw your arms in the air and said "you're crazy"

2005-10-06T18:13:00.000-04:00

it seemed the right thing to do to post this:

COLT AND NATE ARE COMMING IN EXACTALLY 1 WEEK FROM TODAY. that will be the most bitchin camp reunion weekend we've had. ever. period.

also, this weekend looks good with jason mraz tomrrow night, a REALY meet saturday, some ADKS high-peaks hiking on sunday and some haning out etc. meshed in with the whole bunch of things.

it surely doesn't hurt that i have 1,2,3 free tomrrow and won't be waking up until some of you are just finishing your first 3 periods chock-full of physics!

i feel so far from where i've been

2005-10-03T19:32:00.000-04:00

ok so fam. here for the weekend. that was ok, not too much sleep, but it was nice to see them. shelby especially, hadn't seen her in awhile and she's really grown up now... almost taller then me (eek!)

McQuaid invite was fun, but not so good in the race department. this season really needs to take a turn for the better, soon! it was nice seeing everyone again though, it'd been awhile, though katie and i never did locate joe woods. also, it was rummored that Wes was there, which would have been cool, had i seen him.

no school tomrrow or wednesday should be a blast, thank god for jewish people (is that weird, to say that?) also, today was a day 1 which means only 3 classes... how can you go wrong? girls team <3 [sweet hoodies!]

p.s. i was called stuipdface on 2 seperate occasions tonight by 2 seperate people, that worries me a little

ON A JET PLANE

2005-09-29T22:15:00.000-04:00

COLT'S COMMING... it's OFFICIAL! like 2 weeks... there's a coutdown --->

honestly, this is the first year since we were 12 that it has worked out...
CAN'T WAIT!

p.s. it looks like nate may be home that weekend too... ho hum... and by that i mean WHOA CAMP PARTY! some god in the universe loves me enough to bring my best friends home on the same weekend i guess.... i must be getting better at that ritual sacrifice thing ;-)

you make me sick

so i've been a little under the weather, which is why i havn't really updated since sunday. school was ok on monday, even though i had a traillion classes, and runnining in the rain could quite possibly be one of my favoirte things ever, though it may not have helped the virus breading inside of me.
tuesdays race went well for the team, yay team! we won, which basically clinched the division title for us. too bad i didn't run, but i got to see the mendon and fairport kids from OTC which is never a bad thing.
today and yesterday have just been a mess of sickness, staying home from school, sleep, and homework. whoot. now i have some excellent news for you: goodnews #1. i'm feeling better goodnews #2 i don't have mono and i'm not anemic (took and uber fun trip to the doctors today) goodnews #3 the physics homework isn't due till next thursday!

i will conclude with goodnews #4: the OC and reunion are on tonight which is always a blast!

tomrrow is doughnut day

flash back, warm night, almost left behind...

a litterary entry for once since there have been quite a few pictures ones.

I had some fun this week, especially since friday was a day 1 which ment practically no classes. Last minute pasta party at emily's was a blast, complete with more live music. the only downside was that i was spun in circles on the swing and felt sick. we did lie in the street note-book style, which was fun.

saturday was up to baldwinsville for a meet. Being Brighton X-C, we had to do it in the most bootleg style possible (and by that i mean my dad, huckle and coach pulos drove us all up there). it was nice to go back to that course, it's a fun one, not to meantion the fact that our girls team won. the guys did fab. as well.

last night out of exaustion i rented 2 movies; Million Dollar Baby and Feaver Pitch (although i don't know why, i'm not a huge fan of boxing or baseball) and watched them both. talk about LAME-O! MDB is possibly the saddest movie i have ever watched in my entire life. period. also, i felt like it's the kind of movie you should see with at least one other person for a sholder to cry on, but as i was to tired to call anyone, i watched it alone.

today was full of room renovations (and by that i mean i cleaned my room). also, i finally got around to getting some more pictures printed out to put on my picture wall. it's almost full and starting to look really good. also, i finally bought a photo album for all the 2002 pictures i took off my walls this summer and put them in there.

also, i found out that not only are my aunt and cousin comming up this weekend, so are my grandparents. i'm really quite glad we're going to the McQuaid invite, because those and anytime i can get out, will be my moments of sanity this weekend. i'm quite excited to see shelby though. it's been forever.

now, as i have stalled long enough, it is time for homework. whoopie!

in a MMM'bop you're gone, in an MMM'bop you're not there

2005-09-16T23:21:00.000-04:00

Due to the recent demmand for a new entry, i've decided to write one. the reason i didn't wirte on earlier, is all i had to say was that i was sick, and that was QUITE uniterresting!

so basically, homecomming week. woot. tye-dye tuesday (dress up for the rest of the school not on the xc team), wear white wednesday, barons thursday, and junior shirts/short shorts friday. now the really cool thing was that today was picture day, so i looked fab, as usual. freshly pool run hair+ junior shirt= sex goddess. yah junoirs.

yesterday was the pep rally. i was full of pep, and rally. and the junoirs did pretty well. we pretty much won everything that maria didn't cheat on. which was, oh, everything.

sports assembly today. i was afraid i might drown in the cafeteria because of the flooding so it was a good thing we went to the auditorium instead. the parkinglot puddles were a blast though, as was seeing kids come into lunch with their pants soaked up to their knees because they parked in teh back lot. hahahaha SUCKERS.

body paint and aja tonight with some pretty dull ( and by dull i mean spunky) kids. and then michelle is sleeping over afterwards, so that'll be a blast.

cuz that's just who i am this week

2005-09-10T22:06:00.000-04:00

wow. school. at least i have a ton of frees, but soon enough i'll have to do homework during them. whoa american is a lot of work.
the O.C. started again, it was pretty good. so was the show after, reunion, i'm adding that to the list.
XC is a blast
1st meet, went well.
1st pasta party went well. it was crazy. live music, and saying bye to becket, tye-dye on shirts, tye-dye on selves, tye-dye not on the merzbachs floor.
lindseys was fun, felt like it'd been forever. acutally, it had. dance parties, beatles, movies about the beatles, melted chocolate, ice cream, pretty standard.
yah...some good times (xc) some bad times (school).

hey summer- i miss you. do you remember me?

so long sweet summer

2005-09-06T18:40:00.000-04:00

it was definatly hard to say bye to all my friends this summer, especailly as early as it was this year and all of us going such seperate ways.

one sweet party+ Matt Deady and the Sunshine boys and my lisence later and i was headed off to camp.

one kick-ass CIT group filled with whitewater rafting a sweet sleepover, spanish boys ...

and a pair of rainbow rainboots later it was time for otc.

and man was that a good time! EXTREME HIKING and documenting events such as the stinky [sexy?] pines golf course and dieter in the first ever documentary.

a 4x8 date ,

and 2 bill whals in 1 day later, it was back home for a week.

a number of good times there [and a blue jacket] later and back home for the rest of pre-season.

pretty much, my summer was amazing. so many memories of good times. in short, that's why i havn't read my summer reading books. thank you.

rock and rolla cola wars, i can't take it anymore

2005-09-05T13:37:00.000-04:00

2005-09-03T20:57:00.000-04:00

went out to jessie's lake house today which was basically a blast. All of my lifes goals have been acomplished today, starting with water skiing over huge ass waves and getting some sweet air with the tube to watching andrew and matt kill the mamoth spider that threatened joey and his exsistance. pretty much a good day. you and me and team fairport [ we must remember our shirts next time].

the summer's all in bloom, the summer's ending soon

i'm kind of a drama queen i realized.

she's a good girl, crazy about elvis loves horses...

2005-09-01T11:19:00.000-04:00

BIG news.... we're getting a horse.
<----this horse to be exact. i'm really stoked. her name is shadow and she's like 6 years old. it was pretty spur of the moment if you ask me. "mommy can we buy shadow" - let me ask your father- "ok" was basically how it went. i'm really stoked.

Here we go- leave it on the back burner

2005-09-01T00:33:00.000-04:00

so colt made me a blog. i'm gonna try this out. mostly just for pix instead of webshots. camp was fab though, thanks for asking... i couldn't really have asked for a better summer either, i had a lot of fun, i'm sure you'll hear more about it becuase i'm gonna post my pix on here. Also here's something i stole from colt.. it's about camp: Far from hear men in suits carry out the staggering business of men in suits. while we sit on cabin porches, watch ospreys ride invisible gusts and lake cattails underachieve, the smooth punctuation of each wave awakens us to our selves.Camp is bunk bed and barn. H-dock and trail, sleek houses in the corral who don’t care if we ride them or not.I wouldn’t trade a ghost story at thunder point for a thousand sophisticated magazines, and I don’t imagine you would either. Is there anything as true as sunlit spider webs on the bales in the archery range?Tamarack and oak, Indian paintbrush and goldenrod. So what if polar bears don’t really swim precisely at seven a.m. we do and know the mist of the water much like the veil the groom lifts from the bride.Arts and crafts tether and ball.Why race through this life when you can allemande-left, do-si-do, square up with your partner and sip punch on the rec. hall veranda. If I say east, will you say mountain? Therese still a chance these animals will accommodate our intrusions, remain wild enough to make the futures yesterday now.What is empty can be generous, moonlight on the athletic fields, the wide shoulders of the soccer goals. Of course we’d rather dip a paddle or swing a racket then trudge the dirt rode to the dining hall, confront the job of setting utensils for family and friends.The hours buzz with mosquitoes, red badges of poison ivy along with a little muck in our socks. Isn’t this place another kind of home? Think of the Adirondack patience it took to notch these logs, set them against each other, add windows and roof.If you told me an old recording of a long trumpet playing a few mournful notes was the last music I’d ever hear from the hills, from the lake, from the sky; my friend, I would go happy.
