Valentine's Day? psh

We had a snow day today, which was pretty awesome. It was gorgeous out. Everything was covered in ice, and so me and my brother and sister and I went outside and got soaking wet, but it was so pretty out in the field. Tomorrow is gonna be really nice cause then we're off again on Friday.

Valentine's Day is really a useless holiday. Not to be bitter or anything, but seriously, if we need a designated day to realize we love each other, than the world is in a sorry state. Yeah, sure, I guess it's pretty cute if you have a significant other, but still, then its just an excuse to buy cheesy gifts for them and waste money. It's become such a commercialized holiday that it is now devoid of any real meaning, and I think it's kind of a waste of time. Unless you're a prep and use it as an excuse to dress all in pink, you have a sweet tooth and you want all the candy, or you're a hard-core dater and will always have a boyfriend/girlfriend on valentine's day. So I'm really not doing anything for valentine's day (by choice) and to all who are, have fun!

Tomorrow I have drama and then, well, we're gonna have fun later =) I'm so excited!

Just some news..

My cousin is currently in the hospital due to complications involving her insulin pump. She is very diabetic and has struggled with her body image for years. She has even sunk in and out of depression and has been on anti-depressants. In the past, she has purposely removed her insulin pump in defience or because she wanted to lose weight. Just recently, while at school (she goes to college in massachusetts) her pump malfunctioned and she went without the proper amount of insulin for a few days. Whatever her motives were for not telling anyone that her pump wasn't working, the effects were grave. Her friend found her in her doorm room passed out, a few minutes before they were supposed to leave for class. She is now at the University of Massachussetts hospital on a respirator. Due to various medications she is on, they cannot tell if she has suffered any brain damage, but she did contract pneumonia from being on the respirator. She's been fading in and out of conciousness and my aunt and uncle have been keeping vigil with her. She has said that if it gets to the point where she has to have dialysis, she doesn't want to have to live like that. We're all obviously very worried and we're thinking about her, so please keep her in your prayers.

You know you wanted to see them...

I think I'll blow my brains against the ceiling

That statement is a little too violent for my state of mind right now.

Hello to those who read my blog every once in a while! that wasn't supposed to be mean...or sarcastic. FYI.

So as of right now, i am currently re-kindling my love for my chemical romance. I mean, not that it ever died. I just haven't listened to them since the stone age.

I am OFFICIALLY ready for spring break. I don't even know why! It overcame me all of the sudden. We were driving to my grandma's house for the Super Bowl and I was thinking "yeah! vacation! road trip!" and we were in New Jersey...
My method is I ask about going to Florida over and over again until they say yes and then we go! its a simple equation...unlike those we're currently doing in math (or not doing in the case of me and kerianne) Everyone knows E= ocho cinqo.

Speaking of the Super Bowl, we all know the Giants won. You don't have to rub it in my face. It's not that I dislike the Giants, I've just always had a soft spot for the Patriots. Besides. they were going for a perfect season!!! Now they're going to have to start all over again. I don't feel that just because I live in New York, I'm obligated to root for New York teams. New York is so full of itself anyway. What's so great about New York? You tell me. Besides. New England is so much cooler. I have to say, I love Osi Uminyora and Bradshaw. Hes so tiny!!! I'm disappointed that they lost, but I'm not a hard core fan. You don't have to explain to me the Giant's epic defense...I saw it too.



Considering I don't have an agenda other than practicing Lincoln portrait, I don't really have to go. But I will anyway.

naasty K (6:43:34 PM): he'll be like "what creepy freshman to be obsessing over my hot, sexy body. i just can't help it"
naasty K (6:43:59 PM): and then he'll flash his million dollar smile and hike up his socks a little higher and prance in front of us to make us jealous

it just had to be documented somewhere.

naasty K (6:40:33 PM): in your perfect world, every other person would have the "windblown" look and wear tight pinstiped/checkered pants, depending on their mood

THAT TOO!!

i love kerianne

Happy Snow Day!

I don't know about you, but this snow day completely caught me off guard. I had no idea we were supposed to get any kind of bad weather. So I woke up this morning, got dressed, ate breakfast and waited for the bus. And when it was 6:50 and the bus still hadn't come, we took the intiative to check the website. the rest is history...

My day has been extremely low stress. I just woke up from a nap...I think that gives you some kind of idea. The landscape is beautiful. Every tree branch, every blade of grass is covered in ice. The trees in the distance look frosted. The effect is stunning. Now it's transitioned over into a warmer rain.

My sister and Annie are looking at prom dresses. I can't wait to shop with my sister!

Here are some party pictures:

I'm not gonna write you a love song

It's really a never ending cycle. You overcome some obstacles, and there are new ones, waiting. Antagonizing you with a continuous to-do list which you never seem to complete. But if that's part of life, which I know it is, then I'm ready for it. I know my posts can sometimes be monotonous and lengthy, so I'm sorry.

I'm in a relatively good place right now. Socially, academically, mentally and artistically. Well, I think there's some work that needs to be done on the artistic end of the spectrum. I lack the motivation. Or that's my guise anyway. What it really is, I don't know. I hope it is not the fact that I am suddenly destitute of my artistic abilities. Don't get me wrong. My art class is possibly my favorite class. It's the most creative and free I feel all day. But, whether do to the socially charged atmosphere or some other crazy figment of the universe, I don't feel like I'm getting the full experience out of it. And the blame lies all on me for that one. I am not putting everything into it and producing the most sincere end product that I can. Hopefully that can be resolved soon.

Aside from that, drama is going great. I'm so excited. The overall mood and perspective of the show this year is great. It's static. I can feel it. I'm really enjoying rehersals, and I'm having fun.

Friends: I can't ever really complain. I've got a great crop of friends. I haven't been plagued with spells of drama, which is nice (the bad kind) and I'm not fighting with anyone, so I'm really grateful for that.

So right now, I feel like I'm in an OK spot...borderline good. What would really improve my standings is spring. I already have spring fever, which is bad because i don't know how I'm going to handle the rest of february.
