Sometimes I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear
And I cant help but ask myself how much I'll let the fear take the wheel and steer
It's driven me before, it seems to have a vague
Haunting mass appeal
Lately I'm beginning to find that I should be the one behind the wheel
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
With open arms and open eyes yeah
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there, I'll be there
So if I decide to waiver my chance to be one of the hive
Will I choose water over wine and hold my own and drive, oh oh
It's driven me before, it seems to be the way
That everyone else get around
Lately, I'm beginning to find that when I drive myself, my light is found
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
With open arms and open eyes yeah
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there, I'll be there
Would you choose water over wine
Hold the wheel and drive


to me, it is amazing how when you listen to music you can bring back memories you haven't really thought about in ages. according to winamp, i haven't listened to this particular song since august 28, 2006. going through all of my music on shuffle is crazy because all i am is reminded of the past years.. eminem reminds me of freshman year when i loved the bus rides for listening to music and daydreaming of how i could possibly rebel and be different. the years following proved to be quite rebellious listening to the ataris and spending way too much time with kids older than me. then my last year of high school had so many different themes and songs, it's hard to just place it on one. even college has given me plenty of good and interesting memories.. i'm thankful for the people i've met and spent time with because they've all shaped me to who i am today.. and who knows what i'll be like tomorrow. how very.. corny of me. i like reminiscing about the past, living today, and dreaming of the future. life is such a precious gift. music just makes it that much better. w00t on the ridiculously lame level.

the past i have is probably one people wouldn't normally put me with. for some reason i find that cool.

i dare you to move.

so yeah, it's been a while.

so far, my week has been all about twisted teas, study guides, my new fuckin' haircut, and superbad. did i mention it's finals week? my list really should just be "study guides" but i obviously don't give a flying fuck about finals this semester. ok, i'm studying but i'm not happy about it :P

last two finals tomorrow and all i can think about is how tired i am of work this semester and how lovely it is going to be to drive back to my apt tomorrow free of all this stupid school shit for a while. time to get crunk. it's on.

MUSCLE MILK.

love, mctalian

saw transformers last night and it fricken rocked. i was on the edge of my seat from when it began until the credits rolled up. holy crap.

so this summer.. i'm not really sure what to say. it's been pretty uneventful and it's going by quickly. can't say it's one of the best summers but i am enjoying it. just taking life as it comes at me :)

yeeuh. i had a good day. i spent most of it with a boy and i sang to him :P

tonight i went out with my friend carmella and her boyfriend on main street in the ville. the three of us had lots of sushi, red wine, and a good time. she has two 4 week old kittens.. OH MY GOODNESS. cutest little things. her boyfriend is also pretty funny. i hope i hang out with them soon.

lately i haven't been getting much sleep.. i should probably fix that. life is good. :)

it's a beautiful day; it's been one year. around this time last year, i was probably on my way back to his house in shock thinking "no way did that happen" during the early morning just a few hours before :D

58. I love to cook and experiment with cooking. My mom thinks I'm crazy when I come up with the ideas and then afterwards she thinks they're great and denies all she said before.

59. My sister thought she was gonna be an aunt this year. As in, Johnny and I were gonna have a kid. Let me just say that it was a tense, awkward situation I never want to find myself in ever again.

60. My phone has to survive until April. I sure hope it lasts.

61. I'm probably going to graduate a semester early. It would probably help to find out what I should do afterwards.....

62. I easily forget EVERYTHING. I tell myself to remember things and I never do. People get mad at me that way.

63. I used to not be able to sleep without socks. Now I prefer it.

64. This reminds me of Nintendo 64 and all the glorious things that came with it.

70. I wish I kept better record of things.. I'm really bad at that.

71. My favorite band is Sugar Ray and they have been my favorite since 6th grade. No joke.

72. I saw Dane Cook at his live HBO special in Boston with three of my favorites. That was one of the best weekends. Seriously, it was amazing.

73. Hell, I even went to Hooters for the first time that weekend! At 2am nonetheless.

74. My roommates are fun.

75. I love getting pedicures. I'd get them on a regular basis if it was affordable.

77. I can eat spicy food now! Not crazy spicy but I'm building up my tolerance to it.

78. I will never turn down a back massage. If I do, I'm holding back against saying yes.

79. I'm really, really stubborn. One person can really break through that and I can break through his as well. It's how it goes :)

80. I'm finally starting to speak my mind.

81. I can't wait for the summer. When it's summer, all is right.

82. Peach Iced Tea from WaWa OR Snapple is quite amazing. It's soooo good.

83. The Nutcracker was and still is my favorite ballet. I've performed in it four times.

84. The first year I did it I was the baby clown of the clown pack.

85. I miss dance. I stopped doing it when I was 13 because I got too fat.

86. I'd like to go back to it someday.. maybe even soon.

93. Running out of things! I love Johnny!

94. I still like the colors lime green and pink. I never found that lime green skirt I saw at Express ever again. So sad.

95. I love spending every moment with Johnny. I wish for more but I'm still grateful for what we have together as it is.

96. I wish I prayed more. I wish I even read the Bible more. I really haven't.

97. My favorite vacation was going down to LBI this past summer and all of my friends came down.. and we had the whole third floor to ourselves. It was so freaking awesome.

98. I also loved Cancun. It was the first time I ever left the country and I got to swim with dolphins, play bingo and hang with Mexicans, drink LOTS of margaritas and pina coladas, and see Xel-Ha & Tulum. IT WAS AWESOME, HANDS DOWN.

99. I love falling asleep in his arms. And soft kisses. Numnum.

100. I will say this again and again and again, I love Johnny. YAY!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

in church this morning we sang my favorite song of the year at our parish. it's a combination of silent night and night of silence.

so damn beautiful, especially with the piano.

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

Cold are the people, Winter of life,
We tremble in shadows this cold endless night,
Frozen in the snow lie roses sleeping,
Flowers that will echo the sunrise,
Fire of hope is our only warmth,
Weary, its flame will be dying soon.

Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
Christ, the Savior is born
Christ, the Savior is born

Voice in the distance, call in the night,
On wind you enfold us, you speak of the light,
Gentle on the ear you whisper softly,
Rumors of a dawn so embracing,
Breathless love awaits darkened souls,
Soon will we know of the morning.

Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth

Spirit among us, shine like the star,
Your light that guides shepherds and kings from afar,
Shimmer in the sky so empty, lonely,
Rising in the warmth of your Son's love,
Star unknowing of night and day,
Spirit we wait for your loving Son.

what a wonderful christmas.

<3

you know your boyfriend is part of the family when everyone asks why he isn't over that day.

i love it :D

fa la la la la
la la la la!

i should be writing my three papers or reading the chapters for my quiz and exam next week but my mind is so full of other things that i really can't. oh well. sighsigh.

thanksgiving was good. spent some time with my cousins.. fed twelve people. biggest crowd we've had in years. everyone was ganging up on my cousin kiersten which made me sad because no one is there to defend her. her two brothers are really mean. i took her out after dinner because they made her cry :( we went driving around and talked. it was pretty fun. we only had a half hour time slot but hey, at least it was better than staying at the house.

today i had my first real break in a very long time. you know what it was? i drove annie back to her house and then i had about an hour in the car just listening to music and driving by myself. now, if the sun wasn't in my eyes the whole time, that drive would have been wonderful. oh well though, at least i got a break away from it all.

i think i'm gonna take a short nap and then get started on my paper. then i'll be trudging across the street to kat's party. it should be fun except i just feel so alone. i highly doubt anyone would want to talk to someone who is quite miserable at the moment.

this weekend i've had too many people tell me that they know what i'm going through and that it is hard. my mother tried to get me to talk about it and i'm glad she got distracted by something else and left it as it was. yes it's hard. yes it hurts. but right now i need to be left alone so i can suck it up and deal with it.

it really sucks that my room is the coldest in the house.

This time, This place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long, Too late
Who was I to make you wait
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
'Cause you know,
you know, you know

That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore

On my knees, I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
'Cause with you, I'd withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I'd give it all
I'd give for us
Give anything but I won't give up
'Cause you know,
you know, you know

That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore

So far away
Been far away for far too long
So far away
Been far away for far too long
But you know, you know, you know

I wanted
I wanted you to stay
'Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I forgive you
For being away for far too long
So keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go

this is my first week since the 2nd week of school that i don't have an exam or a paper due (!!!). just two quizzes on separate days (YES!).

goals for this week:

- to work out everyday
- read all three chapters in dev psych for exam next thursday
- start my dev psych paper (due nov. 30th) .. starting it early cause the next few weeks are gonna be rough and i'm not gonna be able to do it later
- get everything together so this weekend i can study like mad for my three exams next week
- do well on my biolab and IH quizzes
- spend as much time as i can on the phone with johnny :D


now that johnny and i have mucho talking time i'm a lot happier. not talking to him much during the week was so hard but now it's a lot easier with our unlimited minutes. things are getting a lot better. i'm getting really excited for the holiday season.. thanksgiving weekend should be a lot of fun and even though finals are in december there's gonna be lots going on! i'm happy :) i'm just so thrilled this is an easy week for me.. and that this stupid/hard/ridiculous semester will be over soon! and i can finally look forward to an easier semester and a fun-filled winter break!


haha, woooo! time for an sai meeting. i get to get all dressed up and see some pretty fabulous ladies :)

this year has been an interesting one. i'm hoping for a great end to a hard fall semester and an easier/less stressful spring semester. i wish it were easier to see people during the weekdays but with all the work it's difficult. then i really don't see many on the weekends but it's entirely too hard to go a weekend without seeing my boy. the holidays are finally coming up which means holiday parties and warm scarves and lots of hot tea (speaking of tea.. i'm having myself a cup of blueberry right now :D ).

hmm.. right now i'm pondering what i should make for dinner. i really don't want anything oily or fried.. which takes out a whole lot because that's all we have/all i've been eating. well, that and salads.. what a combo. thankfully i'm finally getting myself to work out everyday, so i'm hoping to be a bit smaller by christmas. just in time to get new clothes.. since i need them pretty badly.

lately i've been getting really close with the sai girlies. they're so much fun. i've been getting into more community service and i love being on the fundraising chair. many other things in my life are slightly disorganized but i have most of the fundraising down to an art with my other friend on the chair with me. they said it's the best it's ever been. we have something to be proud of.

i played racquetball for the first time outside of shs gym class yesterday.. i really like it. played hardcore for about an hour with one of my sisters and her friend, carl. didn't do anything for halloween except that and a bake sale, but hey. it's all right. next year maybe?

i would love to have my own place. to be honest, i wanted it this year but i figured i should live on-campus with friends for one more year before i venture out on my own. so far i'm halfway between regretting it and enjoying it. many, many pros and cons. basically, i would just love to have my own alone time and place so if it's not clean, it's my fault. i don't have to depend on others to clean up their messes, ya know? oh well. next year will come faster than any of us think. i mean damn, the semester's basically over in a month and a half? the time flies doesn't it..?

i still have to figure out what i'm eating.. and do the rest of my IH paper.. study for my scientific thinking exam tomorrow.. read developmental psych chapters.. lotsa things! because for me, the work never ends. i just ignore it sometimes :)

mmmm ok! time for me to stop procrastinating.

tomorrow's my baby's birthday and i hope i get to see him for even a couple hours of it. wheeeeeee!

i always feel the need to write about how i feel.. like when i'm feeling an insane rush of happiness or excitement, but if i do i fear i'll always jinx it somehow. i'm almost afraid to write out or say outloud that i am happy because i think after i say it someone will take that away from me. i am happy though. very much so, in fact.

it's funny how someone can change your life and totally change your perspective. change the way you talk, act, eat, feel.. but in better ways. almost like you've taken in a part of them and made it part of yourself. the little things in life.

i always laughed at the couples who thought their relationships would last forever or that they found that person that they were looking for because i never believed it possible to find your soulmate in two months. i always thought it was so cliche to say "i love you" five million times before you hang up the phone. it's not normal to daydream and dream and always find ways to think about this person everyday. i never liked the whole idea of spending hours on the phone with someone every single night and still having something to talk about. i never liked the silence that occurs during those conversations either. i never understood the fact that you could spend every waking moment with your significant other and never get tired of their presence. what about being so comfortable that you can call them your best friend? i must say, before you, i wasn't for all of this because i never believed it possible. now that you are in my life, you have completely changed that perspective for me.

i absolutely love the fact that i think we're meant for each other because we've been best friends for so long and that this is real. i love how we can never stop saying we love each other. you're constantly on my mind and to be honest, that's all i want to think about. i could spend forever on the phone with you and even after three hours of talking i don't want to hang up. the silence is comforting. i could spend every moment with you and even then it just wouldn't be enough. you are my best friend. you were before this relationship and you will always be.

like i said.. it's funny how someone can completely change how you feel about love and all the little wonderful things that come with it. to help you believe that magic does happen, prayers really are answered, and as lame as this sounds.. dreams actually really do come true because i never imagined it to ever be this great. in fact it's more than that.

i'm done gushing.

back in philadelphia and what's weird is.. i'm glad to be back.

i still have yet to go down to center city and south street but i have been all over penns landing on columbus blvd.. which is one of my new favorite places. i know spring garden like the back of my hand lol. i haven't even gone on a subway yet :( oh well.. there's next week! i really haven't been able to do much cause i went home last weekend and i'm going home this weekend. during the first week i couldn't go anywhere cause of band camp and this week i was jam packed with classes. once i start spending weekends here i'll be able to go to the marathon grill and party with my homies (HAHA jk guys) and kinda relax since i don't really get a chance to do that much in the past two weeks i've been back at school. i really like it this year though.

i think i'm finally growing up. i'm really loving school. this year has a good outlook, i'm wondering if it will be awesome.

tomorrow is september! no more august. but august, thank you for kicking so much ass.. and as for you, september, i can only hope that you are amazing too.

johnny, i miss you so damn much.

tomorrow is my brother's 17th birthday.
the day after that i leave for a week in SC with heather.
then that entire week i go without seeing my boyfriend.
after that i come back to work for three days a week.
i really don't have any plans for the rest of the summer after next week :)

SO i spent my entire day with my boooooy :). well, and my family every so often. took my sister out to lunch so we could talk to her about school and stuff and then came back and.. relaxed for the most part. after dinner my dad and i started talking about how we can help my sister, how my mom is of no help in any of these situations, and what i should be doing since i'm one of the closest people to her that she trusts with important information.

haha, no one ever said it was going to be easy.

i took my sister out after taekwondo (i need to get better at not mutilating such awesome languages) to cvs and got her stuff like a new shampoo, new soap, facewash, etc.. to kinda help her boost her self-esteem since no one really has so far in her life. my mom has tried but it hasn't really worked. tonight it did though. i've helped my brother in the not so distant past and tonight my sister so i feel like i've done something to improve their everyday lives somewhat. i don't know, that's important to me. must be a feeling you automatically get by being the oldest child in a family.

we're gonna keep working on her and my brother. hopefully things will be better next year.
oh, and i'm the one that's doing the social skills for my sister. it's good practice for stuff i'm gonna need to know later if i'm gonna be going into child psychology.. plus i really want my sister to have it easier :/

yeah, i might not say it enough but family is very important to me no matter what. i will always bend over backwards. i can wish all i want for things to be easier. for my mom to change her ways or my dad to be around more or my sister to be able to like where she goes to school or my brother to stop treating her horribly when they're in the hallways together.. it's just not that easy. it's not my responsibility either even though in my head it is.. and i try not to get too involved. i don't know, anything not in perfect harmony (well not perfect-perfect but enough to handle at least) is a killer for me and i try to do everything i can to help it. i have to learn when to stop and that's the hardest part.




even though i just went on about the bad stuff, i must say.. life is pretty damn sweet otherwise.

all i gotta do is turn my head and see a dozen beautiful, red roses. :D

one month! :D

today hinal and i made brownies. our first attempt was pitiful and the second batch looks promising. after my parents are done making dinner i'm going back to hang with him and nikhil. i'm getting my dose of indian today :)

things recently have been great. for the rest of the summer though, i'm a little worried. things up until now have been perfect. any problem that has come along has been solved and i'm actually the most content i've ever been. seriously. the only thing with the rest of the summer is because starting tomorrow things will be a little different. we'll make it work though. i know that. going away to school might not even be that bad for us because we'll both be busy and we'll get to see each other a good amount (well, i hope). the train is a wonderful thing when it comes to transportation from temple.

it's not that i don't want to go back to philly. believe me, i've grown to love that city like whoa. sometimes even thinking about school i get excited because of being crazy busy with classes and guard again and also seeing everyone that i used to see a lot. but knowing you're not there kinda makes it a bit depressing. knowing you're going to visit makes me happy though and knowing you're just a mere hour and a half train ride away.. it'll be good.

i think i might write another entry later because i'm really feeling up to writing something tonight. don't really have much time because my parents are making this fabulous dinner that i would regret to miss and then i'm driving back to hinal's.

i really do love branchburg. there's nothing like driving windows down in my little saturn with "every morning" on repeat down readington.
