Blogger Confessional© The third

These past two weeks have been insane, it was reading week, I went home *for the first time in 2 months*, hung out with my lovelies....SO much.

This week I:

- hung out with all of my Italian friends...friends with names like Mikey "The Coat", Frankie "Scarpine", "La Facia" "Valley Valore"....Dont your friends have names like this?....when you meet people, arent they intorduced like that? How many 26 year old Italians do you know that own 4 cars, and 3 houses...and dont have a job becuase of an "accident"? I'm "Mezzo Italiano"...but i've seen some questionable shit in my life......heard some questionable things....

- Picked up a volunteer position...i miss my field. Getting back into it is going to be wonderful. They told me that I was so qualified, i'm running three of their volunteer programs, and this way, which they told me I should have no problem getting a job there when things open up internally....horray....

- Dropped a class.....Its my own fault, I never bothered with the class, and did no work in it. And when it came time to do the essay, I didnt do it. I took someone elses essay, grabbed some books from the library, and put a lot...well....a bit of work into it...but got the paper from Miss Ash. She's brilliant, she got a great mark. I'm the idiot who didnt hand it in "as is". Its true. Cheaters never prosper...who knew...

- Got the "phone call" from someone who was in my life for a long time, telling me that getting rid of me was the biggest mistake of his life....and that he has no stability without me....I know the damage he can do....I dont know what to think.....except, that maybe, he's too late

- Almost had a COW when I was trying to study, and the people who live above me were listening to "the sounds of whales" full blast....on repeat, for at least 2 hours....I had a friend over, we were crying laughing.....whales sound like nails on a chalkboard when you're trying to concentrate....

- Had a quasi-conversation, with a guy, about love and being in love....Although I at first questioned his opinions, and asked him to elaborate....his insight was very profound. And, sometimes, through all the sarcasm, and jokes, he makes a lot of sense.

- Made plans to go home again next week...my cousin is moving to Singapore, with her boyfriend, as his job is moving him there for a year. Shes going to go with him until August...all expenses paid. I'm jealous, of course...but I dont know if I could last there. Illegal to chew gum you know...they CANE you. I'm a gum chewer....they'd cane me for sure.

- did something that most people would consider "shocking and appauling" in the student center. LOL....

- Was leaving the library one night, where the parking lot was particularily busy....One man saw me walking to my car, put his ticker on, and followed me.....I deliberately walked past my car, and walked up onto the sidewalk....he sped off....I went back to my car.

- Had a "friend" over....one of the Italian ones....he was horrified that I had never seen one episode of the "Sopranos"...and brought season one over for me to watch *as season 6 starts on sunday*....As I am not much of a TV watcher, I thought season one would last me about a week....I watched the entire season in less than 2 days....Its a good show. HOWEVER, I know nothing that happened past season one...."Tutti stazite...non ti parlare di Sopranos."

- Set the wheels in motion to get my new degree...And had to hand in my old one...they shredded it.....that was hard to watch....REALLY hard. In fact, I cant even begin to tell you how difficult it was for me....they shredded my degree. Sure i'm getting a new one, but come on....Shredded....I feel like I lost a piece of my past....

- decided that world domination might not be a bad idea.

Happy weekend everyone.

I'd like to thank the Academy

This is my 100th post. Which is hard to believe, seeing as I never, in a million years, thought that this blog would maintain my interest for more than a month...but here I am....100. Wow.

And in typical fasion, in honor of my 100th post, I'd like to bitch about guys.

For the past couple of weeks my friend J, has been going on and on about what a loser his friend Dwayne is. No job, no car, manic depressive, lives at home...you know, the dream boat that every girls hopes and dreams for.

Then last night, I called my friend J, and he says "Hey...I told Dwayne about you, he wants to take you out for lunch. Do you wanna go with him?"

I cant grasp the concept of how my friend talks about what a loser this guy is, and then thinks its a good idea to set me up on a date with him....a blind date no less. And honestly, I cant express how insulted I am....So I get off the phone with J, and decide to call him back and find out what the fuck he's thinking.

He says that Dwayne needs a good kick in the ass from a girl who wont put up with a guy like that, and thinks that I am just the girl to do it. He tells me this, of course, and laughs his head off....I dont know what he's thinking. And then, he has the nerve to say "So...Giving him your number was a Bad Idea then??"

Am I wrong girls? Is this something to be slightly pissed about? J says hes a good looking guy, but thats about all he has going for him....Oh, that and the fact that although he owns a house, cant afford to live there, so he rents it out, and lives at home.

...anyway...on my hundreth post, i'd like to say thanks for those of you who were, and continue to be, my inspiration to keep this blog going.....Without your feedback, id have given up on it long ago.....
