IOWA! VERMONT!

what great, sane states.

once elected, palin hired friends and lashed foes
new york times, 9/13/08

"Last summer, Mayor Mark Begich of Anchorage, a Democrat, pressed Ms. Palin to meet with him because the state had failed to deliver money needed to operate city traffic lights. At one point, records show, state officials told him to just turn off a dozen of them."

like i need another reason to be scared shitless of sarah palin. not only does she hate polar bears, my reproductive rights, gay people, and books- she wants me to die in a car accident!

i missed a chance to go to boston this weekend because matt breen is a tool. thanks for not waiting an HOUR, because that would really have made a big big difference in your life, especially when i offered to pay for gas and snacks. that's really how to get a college student to take you anywhere. and especially because the only reason he was actually going to boston is because "meg's (his girlfriend) family is really busy this weekend so i can't go to skaneateles". poopy. i still can't get over the fact that he turned down my gas money.

WHAT CROATIA WAS GOING TO WIN BUT THEN TURKEY SCORED A GOAL AND WHAAAAAAAAAAAT STOP DON'T DO THAT!

penalty kicks, psh.

and omg they are not doing well in penalty kicks AHHHHHHHHH.

and they lost. GREAT.

i feel i am done with the boston chapter of my life. i know that it is over, and i am comfortable with the fact that my time there will be measured in days, not weeks or months or years as it has been. it is no longer my home, and while i still can't really pinpoint a place that i can call home, upstate new york has grown on me so, and arkansas is tolerable when the air conditioning is on high. but as much as i am through with boston and it is through with me, i am very thankful that i was raised there.

oh, boston. my city on a hill. my hub of the solar system. my cradle of liberty, my athens of america. how i value your education, your social liberalism. how i love your public transportation and sports teams, your regional cuisine (because as much as i have come to love barbecue and biscuits and half moons and chicken riggies, clam chowder and fish and chips and baked beans will always come first). how i miss your agressive drivers, your nonsensical streets, your alphebetical back bay names.

but you are no longer mine, boston, so i thank you for instilling in me a love of learning and equality, and i bid you goodbye. but i'm keeping the red sox t-shirts.



and now, i set off in my search for a new topic to write liverjournal entries about. it will take time to find something i can do with as much effort as i have put into missing boston, but that doesn't really matter anyway; no one reads this shit.

i would like to say that i am incredibly excited that comedy central will begin airing futurama in ONE MINUTE
i know, i am a complete geek
whatevaaaa

Mein Kopf verletzt und ich will nach Hause gehen.
Nach Hamtech!

i'm kind of excited about 2008
just because i love writing the number 8
and now i will not have to wait for august, or the 3 days a month that contain the number 8

janine is off to italy & laura's gone to france
and i am going to CVS to buy a psych buddy present, woohoo woohoo

anyways congratulations andrew whitmore!

i can't wait till february vaction
1) no more hockey! ever
2) i'm going to arkansas for a week
3) the series FINALE of the oc :-( this is kinda sad but i think that since the show got cancelled it's become more fun. the writers obviously are of the mindframe that "we've already been fired so they can't fire us for smoking a lot of pot/crack before we write the new storylines!" like, che in love with seth BUT now he's in love with a girl in a groundhog suit? kirsten is pregnant? if that is everyday life in orange county, california then rich people must be crazy.
4) only two months from vacation until i go to prague!

i can't believe i still have to wait TWO MONTHS to hear from colleges. blah. at least i have arkansas '11 to fall back on. i forget if i told evreyone yet. but yeah, i got in (not like i was expecting not to). no thanks to the front office who waited SIX WEEKS after i released my transcripts to release them.

alarm clock catastrophe

dunkin donuts consistently turns out the greatest commercials ever made
