let's see,
i finished my first class over the year and i'm seriously so glad it's over. i just tried finding out my grade, but they haven't been posted yet. that always makes me nervous.
i'll be finished with my job in 4 weeks and i'm ecstatic. i can't wait to move on to a real school with real students. am-a-zing.

i think i'm taking a trip to arizona at the end of the summer when i'm through with work and before i start my student teaching.
sedona looks beautiful

we're going to go on jeep tours and go see the grand canyon and ohhh i'm soo excited!! i've never been to arizona before and i think it's going to be pretty amazing.
i can't believe summer is almost over and i haven't gone to the beach once. someone please come to the beach with my one day because my boyfriend refuses to go. wahhh.
i was going to rearrange my room, but i might try and rally up some folk and head over to some smoothe sand and hot sun.
hopefully i won't get stuck sitting here watching the clean house marathon

okay
xoxo

life has been somewhat uneventful lately. a few things have changed such as i'll be starting grad school in a few months. i'll be like, completely busy with school work all the time and have no life anymore. but, what can you do. i have to start getting my life in order and this is hopefully the first and last step i'll have to take. besides that, i'm excited for london. we are getting together this week to plan. this will be the busiest vacation ever. if anyone has any suggestions as to what are some good places to see and good places to go please let me know!! :)

hope all is well in your lives. i think i write in this thing more for myself, anyway, but leave a comment if you'd like.

i want to see the world so badly. and right now i'm sitting here, sickenly jealous of everyone who has. i feel like it's the impossible dream for me. photographs make me homesick for places that aren't even my home. i wish there were an easier way.

oh update!

i forgot to mention my new years resolution; to take better care of the environment.
this 60 degree weather in january in new england is really scaring the crap out of me. i figure now's the time to really make a conscious effort to help out. i unplug things i'm not using, shut off all the lights, and i recycle everything now. I'm also planning on purchasing a hybrid car next year or the year after. i also spoke to my work about getting our own recycling bin and talking to the kids about recycling. i'm sure i'm late in my endeavors, but i feel better that i'm atleast doing something. sooooo, if you're not already doing it, then start. if everyone puts in a little effort it will make alot of difference.

i'll get off my soap box, now.

we got tickets to see both death cab for cutie and say anything! i'm a happy girl<33<3

i can't stop listening to michael jackson, lately.

uhhh, that's about it. tonight is the halfway to st. patty's day celebration. i don't even care, i just want to have a few drinks with some good friends, and maybe get some good pictures out of the night. my memory has been failing me. i need to rely on photographs to jar the good times in my brain. maybe i should stop smoking so much pot.

peace.

i just bought lots of fun, new things. i'm pretty pumped about it.

my plan for this week:

clean my closet, like seriously. throw out things that haven't been worn in 6-12 months. that's real hard, but i need to. i hate when people say i have so many clothes, when in actuality i wear about 25% of them over and over again. it's sick.

hang out with old friends. i did it today and saturday. not to call them old friends...more like original friends. it's fun. makes me feel .... comfortable, i guess?

celebrate 4/20 the way it needs to be done. aka joe,timmy,tiny,mike.

gymgymgymgymgymgymgym. nuff said about that.

keep up with my crest white strips. i know that sounds gay, but honestly i always start and then get bored with it in the middle...they're kind of gross but whatever..white teeth are better.

i think that if i'd never met you, i'd still miss you

2006-01-07T04:19:38Z

omg i'm so fucking sick it's ridiculous. i finally stopped throwing up, but seriously it was the worst thing ever. i couldn't hold anything in. i went to the doctors and she told me i was dehydrated and gave me some anti-nasuea medicine. working with kids i should expect this. but i just feel so terrible. and of course i get sick on a weekened, when i finally have my brothers car to use and absolutely no where to go. and i won't even have anyone come hang out with me because i wouldn't dare subject anyone to this awefulness.

i'm watching isaac right now on the style network and it's such a terrible show, but for some reason i can't stop watching it. it must be boredom.

new years eve was aweful as usual, no one can hold their liquor. i'm so glad i have a normal boyfriend. thank gooooodness.

okay, im gonna go back to sleep, this is all i've been doing all day. make me feel better by tomorrow, please? arjhjhksjadhfkjasdf.

the year is almost over

2005-12-29T15:01:18Z

christmas was nice. being exposed to my family for more then three hours is somewhat tolerable. thank god matt was there with me. it made everything much better. i got great thoughtful presents from everyone. and who can really complain about money and gift certificates??

i can't believe christmas finished. it's like what we work toward all year, and now it's over and done with.

we need to start all over again.

top ten occurances of 2005: (in no particular order, especially not of importance)

1. beginnning working full time at my job
2. keeping up a pretty awesome relationship with matt<3
3. going to california and driving to vegas with kara
4. losing touch with good friends
5. starting school again
6. going BACK to california and driving to san diego and santa barbara (&hearst castle!)
7. getting back in touch with old friends and having it be just like old times
8. R.I.P. jeep :(
9. hopefully getting a new car, or atleast starting to work towards it
10. turning twenty-three

all in all it's been a pretty good year. let's just hope i can say the same for the next one.

have a happy and safe new year everyone!!

<3 nic

bah hum bug??

2005-12-20T17:58:26Z

anne marie is doing my hair again today. i'm excited and i'm getting bangs. like, real ones. like...ummm that really gorgeous girl who was on next top model last season. i want her bangs. now. too bad i don't look like her??? also i'm going lighter. i don't care if it's winter. my new rule is that its summer.and also that ten hour work days last only two hours long. yup, those are my new rules and i'm sticken to 'em.

i'm being carted around like a fifteen year old because i am super carless right now. it's so degrating but kind of nice in way to get driven to and from work. but really, i need a car like a.s.a.p. poor jeep. what a terrible way to go.

christmas shopping is almost done, but now it's so hard to get around to finish it i need to wait for someone to drive me. arggh. annoying. other than that i guess i'm excited for christmas. even though my mom took the merry out of christmas by asking me to buy some of my own gifts. that is definetly against the christmas rules. whatever. i'm twenty-three and i should probably just get over it.

i miss santa.

a valentines day present if you love meeee<33??

<3 nic

p.s. dont you hate terrible dreams that keep you up tossing and turning all night? yea, me too.

p.p.s sometimes i really hate being a girl. owww.

okay i'm bored.

2005-12-17T01:36:43Z

okay so i feel like such a loser. all my friends are at the TREOS/saves the day show and i'm sitting here doing nothing, waiting for my boyfriend to come back from his show. i guess it's what i needed after a long / santa hectic day at work, but i still feel lame-o.

and guess what?!? i'm typing on my new laptop RIGHT NOW, it's so beauuuutiful and i loooove it<333!!! now i just need to sell my old one so i'm not super super poor.

i'm almost all done with my christmas shopping. i think i'm going to be a good present giver this year. i bought some pretty sweet ass things. i hope i get some cool stuff in return???

it's sad how livejournal is still so entertaining to me, i seriously read peoples livejournals for hours, how...creepy?? i hate how everyone has totally just ditched it and turned to myspace. myspace sometimes creeps me out, especially when hearing about 27 year old boys meeting 14 year old girls and flying cross country to meet them. weiiiiirdos.

my best friend finally moved back home!!! buuut, she is moving away again the end of the month :( i will again be best-friendless. arggh. atleast now i can go to NY all the time...

i definetly need to go to a show soon. someone tell me something good so i can spend some more money i should be saving. gosh i suck so bad.

okay, i'm done with this i guess.

<3 nic

nobody likes you when you're twenty-three

2005-10-13T03:08:12Z

yuck. i wish it would stay 11:02 forever. i realllly don't want to turn 23. it seems so old. even though in the whole scheme of things i know it's really not. it's just that, i know what it leads to...and that's what i really don't want coming.

well anyway, i already got this for my birthday. well more like i got the funds to help me buy this for my birthday. well more like TO buy it for my birthday. but anyway, it's completely amazing. it just came out today and i should be getting it in the mail soon. i love ordering things offline. other than that my next quest is for tickets to weezer/foo fighters this saturday. i just HAVE to go. i neeeeed to or i will probably die, actually. you know how it is. i have no idea what else i'm getting or doing for my birthday. i'll probably update with that later?

uhhhhhh, i guess i'll go be old now....

wish me luck.

<3333

summer skin is gone, say hello to fall.

2005-09-22T23:38:05Z

Do you remember these?

matt and i went to newbury comics and finally found the dvd box set for pete and pete. i swear that place is a gold mine. it's amazing how many great things pete says in that show. like, "why is it, that when you miss someone so much that you feel like your heart is about to disintegrate into a million pieces, the saddest song plays on the radio?" god. you don't realize how a dumb show like pete and pete can be deep all of a sudden.

as for reality bites... i was totally obsessed with that movie in like, the seventh grade. there began the obsession with ethan hawke. so weird when i think about it. i haven't seen the movie in years because vhs just doesn't seem to do it for me anymore. i tivo'd it, though, and loved every minute of it. i really should just get the dvd. i love owning great movies. it really is a great one. ahh nostalgia always gets me...

it's getting darker earlier now. fall is here. i'm amazed by the fall. i'd pick it over any other season. it kind of gets me down a little, though. coming out of work and it being dark. i feel like the day is comepletely over and wasted.

i'm seeing TREOS, cartel, and acceptance monday and tuesday. i'm soooo completely happy about that. i need a good/non-boring week. work is repetative (i can't even spell that right) and boring. i find i'm losing my patience, if i had any to begin with.

i'm thinking about visiting california one more time before sadah comes back in december. i really love it there and have a feeling i won't go back if she's not living there, anymore. there goes saving money. maybe it could be an early birthday present from someone. that would be perfect...the perfect gift, actually. the way to my heart, maybe? hah. whatever.

2005-09-12T02:25:26Z
