mood : bored

So I’m off at college now.. haha a whole 30 minutes away from home. Ooh ahh.. but it’s better than having to stay with my parents. (:

So far I like the campus a lot.. I love our dorm room. It’s my favorite out of all the rooms I’ve been in. haha.. I guess I’m biased. Ryan and Brent’s room smells haha.. no really it does smell bad. Ben and Justin’s is small and has no air conditioning.. the honors housing where Liz, Sabrina, and Tim live is pretty cool though. So more about our room haha.. it’s sweet. =D We share a bathroom with only one other room.. it has a tub! That’s exciting, I like bubble baths. In our room we have a sink and a mirror, and also a microwave/mini-fridge. Easy access to food rocks haha.. It’s sweet being able to go dine on campus whenever I want.. but I can also eat in here if I need a snack or am too lazy.

I’ve seen a whole lot of people from Howard High here.. met some new people.. everyone is pretty nice. I haven’t really made any actual people I consider “friends” yet, but then again it’s only been 2 days. (:

I miss all of my normal friends that I hang out with.. I miss our swim/movie nights.. but it’s also really cool that I’m hanging out with people that I never got a chance to chill with in high school like Sabrina and Shaina and Ryan..

Fortunately Jen, Alex, and V have been coming to visit me so I haven’t gotten too homesick. (:

Classes start Wednesday!

mood : down

Speaking of porn star names.. I just got up from a nap where I had a dream that I worked in a porn store. It looked just like a normal store.. there wasn’t the creepy protective glass or anything.. but I was working at the counter.. and I didn’t know what I was doing and there was nobody there to help me. So this asian lady comes up and wants to buy a movie.. but I don’t know what price the movie is. She gives me a gift card, a reciept, and $5. Her husband pops out of nowhere and is like “Look on the reciept for what a movie costs..” and then she proceeds to go off at him in Chinese. The gift card was for $500, there was only $5.99 left on it.. and she had only bought one thing. So I suppose she got one big naughty toy, and that’s why she was mad at her husband. haha.. I’m such a pervert.. where did this dream come from?!?

I go to sleep being sad about leaving my friends and college and boys, and I wake up thinking about porn. What the hell. (:

mood : eager

I wish I had something interesting to talk about today but I don’t.. I just woke up so nothing has really happened at all yet. I just can’t believe I’m leaving for school on Saturday.. I’m excited, but I’m also nervous. It’s that damned change thing again.. always gets me. (:

By the way, did you see my way-cool little mood thing that I have in the side of my page now? I update that more than my actual journal haha.. (:

mood: lonely

I never felt too good but in this world who would
I was always thinkin’ somethin’ wasn’t right
But then you came along and helped me sing a song and
now I feel ok I hope it can stay- this way

You know we’ve got a good thing goin’ and I don’t wanna see it end
You know we’ve got a good thing goin’ and I don’t wanna see it end
Are these the good days that I’ve heard so much about-
there goes the heartbreak that I can live without
I’ve been so frustrated, bitter, mean, and jaded
I’ve taken for granted all the things I’ve got
But now that you are here this anger disappears
and I feel happy too this is sappy but it’s true

You know we’ve got a good thing goin’ and I don’t wanna see it end
You know we’ve got a good thing goin’ and I don’t wanna see it end
Are these the good days that I’ve heard so much about there goes the heartbreak
that I can live without

Current Mood: A little tired but for the most part content.

Current Music (I’m biting off of Veronica’s journal haha): Tool - Aenima

So next Sunday is my last day at Cafe Bagel. How nuts is that? Today was Christin’s last day and it all hit me. I almost lost it.. but I’ll save it for next week when I’m the one leaving haha. All my close friends that I’ve grown up with are all getting split up at once. ): But it’s not like we won’t see each other anymore.. it’s just weird you know? I’ve had pretty much the same friends since I moved here. However I’m not worried about being lonely. 60% of my damned school is going to Towson. Kill me. =D

I got my rooming stuff yesterday and I’ll officially be rooming with Shaina. We’re in Tower A.. I hope it’s cool. (:

I’ve been thinking and although this summer hasn’t been too eventful I’ve had a good time. I’ve made a hell of a lot of money working my 3 jobs.. and I closed out the summer with two kick ass concerts…

Weezer was in fact the shit. haha.. it was so much fun. We managed to get box seats so me, Veronica, Gretchen, Morgan (Gretchen’s boyfriend), Jason (our boss from Cafe Bagel), and his friend all chilled in a box together. They played Holiday! My favorite song! Woo! Good times. (:

And last night I went to the Tool concert and had a great time there as well. I went with Brian, his cousin Kevin, Scott, and Jake. It was just like old times when Jake was still in the band with us. I really hope Drone gets back into playing and stuff.. we have so much potential I think. Anyways.. back on subject.. Tool rocked silly. I’m so happy I finally got to see them live. They’re such an amazing band.. and no matter what my friends think, I love ‘em. I admit their music isn’t exactly catchy radio play stuff but it still rocks. It’s all so in depth and technical.. it’s a nice change from hearing power chords all the time (which I listen to and like a lot of.. so no offense). It was just great to experience them live.. to hear how tight they really are. The time signatures and stuff that they use own me. The coolest is when they put two different time signatures over each other, and in the end it lines up perfectly. Not to mention it was visually cool.. Maynard (the singer) is such a weirdo. haha..

So to sum things up, I’m a huge music nerd. That is all. =D

Current Mood: Still waking up..

Mmm.. sleepy Saturday morning. I got up around 12 today.. much nicer than getting up in between 7 and 8. Yuck. (: Thursday I had a doctors appointment.. got my 2nd hepatitus B shot.

Then Friday was my orientation. It was okay I guess. I didn’t really meet anybody cool.. and none of my friends were there. There was just lots of boring administrative stuff.. and waiting around.. but at least I got stuff done. I got my ID card.. I finally have a student ID!! =D I also got my email.. and library stuff.. and my post office box. Fun stuff.. still haven’t seen the dorms, but it’s not like I have a choice as to where I stay so I don’t really mind. (: Got my schedule too.. it’s pretty crazy. No days off. ):

My dad already gave me shit about having dance classes in it. Grrr.

So I think I’ll probably like Towson.. I like the campus so far.. they have some cool foresty areas that are nice. I have declared it the Towson jungle because there were noises in it coming straight from friggin’ Lion King. =D

I’ve finally started winning the freedom battle with my parents. They’re letting me stay out later.. well.. I’m not giving them a choice. =D And one night, they even went to bed before I got home! Didn’t call me or anything! One night I finally was just like “I’m going to college, you can’t wait up for me there, you’re going to have to get used to it.” So I guess it worked..

I’m ready to be on my own and have a damn good time in college. Woo hoo! (:
