as much as laying in the middle of busy streets is amazing, taking your pants off on slightly less busy streets isn't so bad either. try it sometime when you are a) scared to go to the indie kid house, b)being called a radio, and/or c) really have to pee. when you reach your final destination you may find a practically abandoned house, but you will see 1) a very italian friend, 2) someone who ends up falling half in love with you, and/or 3) the homeowner, none other than a former OASN member!

TRUE STORY: a man came to our door asking to fix the toilet at like 1 am a couple nights ago. too bad WE DON'T HAVE A TOILET.

i opened a rental account at hollywood video yesterday because we were renting a few movies. I put lauren's name down on the account as well, and then said aloud, "aww, our first account together!" the guy at the counter looked at us funny, yet seemed intrigued. we walked out and realized why people think we're lesbians. but seriously... it's not like we watched brokeback mountain or shared dinner or dessert that night.

strange as angels dancing in the deepest oceans

Tue, 04 Apr 2006 01:58:54 GMT

this weekend was one of my favorite all year, although i have probably NEVER been this tired. 6 hours of sleep total? not cool. seeing/interviewing nightmare of you? COOL. apo? cool. shwa's apartment? cool. cherry blossoms/springtime? cool. oasn's cd? cool.

a special thanks to puffy for getting me through last night's paper.

Sat, 25 Mar 2006 07:46:36 GMT

sooo, this is what i do at internship fairs.

Wed, 22 Mar 2006 04:41:18 GMT

we are now also interviewing Anberlin, April 17th.
PRETTY AWESOME.

black clouds & underdogs was sweet, other than spraining my neck? we once again failed to meet fall out boy (by no fault of our own) but we did meet the all-american rejects!!! mike and nick were really nice, i enjoyed our short conversation about d.c. tyson was sort of ehh in person. the hush sound was amazing in concert... me, sulli, and allie may have been the only ones singing along, but that's okay. FFTL was terrifying, and i don't really like any of hawthorne heights' new stuff... LAME.

i think i'm going to see v for vendetta again this weekend because it is just that mindblowing. absolutely incredibleeeee. it will also be a refreshing experience compared to the hours i should spend this weekend researching/writing.

we got our housing all set for next year! suite with lauren, deeders, and holly. WORD!

THE FRESHMAN BOYS ON THIS FLOOR ARE BUMS.

danielle: you hijacked my soul.
oh, and jenn: she hot. she real hot. she fine. she damn fine. she hot!

just a dirty boy living the american wet dream

Tue, 14 Mar 2006 03:39:36 GMT

sweet news from dc:
-lauren and i will be interviewing NIGHTMARE OF YOU on april 1st. pretty amazing. wvau IS good for something!

news from florida:
-stacey rode the tower of terror today. anyone who knows me knows how intense i think this is and can imagine how jealous i am. oh, and she just so happened to be calling from the splash mountain line. if i didn't love her so much, SHE'D BE DEAD TO ME.
-danielle has been laying on the beach and getting crunk with her family. getting sunburned? pretty awesome.

news from acton, ma:
-BeccaSpike: once a stalker, always a stalker
-and other conversations about the necessity of beautiful jewish boys and such.

news from boston:
-http://myspace-345.vo.llnwd.net/00450/54/39/450609345_l.jpg

also, i talked to hope this morning for a half hour which was a lovely way to wake up, i can assure you that. sulli and i rocked cranston this afternoon. by 'rocked' i mean we went to borders and picked up allie at park view. then we watched trl and cursed at the lame-ass vjs, teeny bopper guests, aly & aj (wtfff??) and basically everyone that was not fall out boy.

Sun, 12 Mar 2006 06:25:50 GMT

(although worcester is only about 40 miles away.)

fuck, i miss you guys

Thu, 02 Mar 2006 03:45:35 GMT

plus jenn and stacey and allie and amanda OBVIOUSLY.

i will be HOME one week from this very moment, i cannot wait. february sucked major and getting home will basically be the biggest relief ever. hopefully everyone will come back snapped out of whatever got into them over xmas break. all i can say is that this is college- it's a lot of fun but it's also hard work, late nights, early mornings, and missing home. people have to stop being so negative because it is not worth all the anger and tears, BELIEVE ME. there are bigger things to worry about. we are lucky to be who and where we are. i know we all roll our eyes sometimes at how optimistic lizzie hookway is (or maybe that was just me...) but seriously, try it sometime. it feels good and people will actually want to be around you. so yeah, home will be awesome. i plan on seeing all the girls, keeping allie from going to school everyday, eating my mom's amazing food, and fall out boy et. al. on st. patrick's day, HOT.
