PARADISE CITY: oh won't you please take me home?

You Know You're Getting Old Reason #1049857463:

while watching a hockey game, you suddenly realize that a bunch of the players are either your age, a little older, or slightly younger

i stayed up late watching a repeat of the Flyers-Penguins game last night with my dad after i got home...

later on when we were at my aunt's house for Thanksgiving, my dad got to talking about the gme with someone and mentioned that the goalie for the Pens was only like, 19...Dude, Twilight Zone moment there...

Now I kind of understand what my mom feels like when i drag her into Charlotte Russe whenever we're at the mall...

New skn...I'll fill in the info later

Sorry i haven't updated in a LONG time...i had a shitload of stuff to do for school that i was procrastinating on and plus my computer was acting up. Missed me, huh? *sarcasm*

Well, now that i have most of the stuff I needed to do squared away and almost done, i can actually take a breath!

My mid-term art projects are due this Wenesday...the school's closed on Monday for some kind of professional development day or something like that. Bottom line: NO SCHOOL!!!!!!

Hmm, that's pretty much it...wow, what a trivial life i lead!

my History teacher is an ass...I got done the quiz we had today in like, twenty minutes, and the bastard ended up forcing me to stay for the entire class just because i couldn't remember the answer to ONE question. ONE!! He always talks like he has something stuck up his ass...i mean, i love history, but he pisses me off a lot

2003-09-25T19:42:00.000-04:00

well, i found a new skin for this thing....and i changed the blog title.

This is a big departure for me cuz usually i like darker colors, but i decided to use this one b/c i love the candies in the picture...and plus it's girly but not TOO girly. Just the way i like it:)

Plus, the links on the other one were too cluttered up...this looks a lot neater IMO

Yeah, the new title of my blog is from the Guns N Roses song...it's one of my all-time favorite songs ever! Wish i knew how to put BG music on and where i could find the song for it...that would kick some serious ass:)

umm, not much else to say, to be honest...i'm supposed to be working on my retarded history project, but *suprise, suprise*...I'm procrastinating. Again

Hey, anyone out there wanna read Ivanhoe or me?

*grumbles*

(edited to add...i changed the skin AGAIN. This one is a lot better IMO...the other one was too damn bright, even if i DO like the candies in it)

2003-09-21T21:14:00.000-04:00

Today was my cousin Amy's bridal shower...

For it, I bought a new outfit, shoes, everything. I got this really cute white tee with a little rhinestone A on the right side...it kinda looked like the Braves A on the hats, that's part of why i got it. and this really cute denim skirt with a waistband that looked like it came off of a pair of sweatpants and it had a number on it...it was really athletic looking. And to top it all off, i got a pair of these red platforms that looked like sneakers. I had always wanted a pair of those! I kinda got into a fight with my mom over them, and eventually she let me get them. But everyone thought i looked really cute...my cousin Kristen really liked my shoes and begged me to tell her where i got them. An ego boost to be sure ^_^

I had a lot of fun there...everyone there was real nice, even though i think i was one of the youngest girls present. On the way there, i was bracing myself for the inevitable feelings of inferiority that being around my older female cousins brings about(I know it's silly, but how would you feel next to three girls who would probably be models if they had been 'discovered'...and you being the 'pretty but ordinary' one?)....but today, i didn't feel any of that. Weird...it was probably b/c i was actually comfortable in what i was wearing, even though it was a good deal more casual than what a lot of people at the shower were wearing. I was so glad when my cousin arrived and was wearing a plain t-shirt and a pair of khakis, which in itself was weird b/c she usually dresses up for family functions. But then again, she was the bride and she probably could show up in her PJ's if she really wanted to...

Anyways, the food was pretty good...it was kind of a brunch-type thing. They had chocolate crossaints there, of which i ate three. Boy was my mom mad about that...before, she was constantly giving me lectures on how to eat and stuff, as if i had no table manners at all. Gee thanks, Mom...way to make me sound uncivilized. *sarcasm* Ah well, i suppose she means well. We finally got home at about 3:30...we were there for most of the day, i think.

I'm getting excited about the wedding now(it's on New Year's Eve), but the thought of shopping for a dress(it's a formal wedding...meaning gowns are a must) is giving me flashbacks of shopping for my senior prom dress. I just hope i won't have to humiliate my mom to let me get the dress i want...besides, i already have my eye on one. if i can find a pic of it online, i'll post it.

Gee, i wonder how long it's gonna take my relatives to start pestering ME about marriage...knowing my family, not long...

2003-08-31T22:24:00.000-04:00

Today, we were all supposed to go to this picnic my dad's union was holding to celebrate Labor Day...well, we got to the place that it was to be held at, when my dad realized that the flier he got for the thing said it was TOMORROW, not TODAY. Geez, my dad is such an idiot sometimes...anyways, on the way home my mom and him got into a fight and we all trudged back into the house, in silence.

After calming down a bit, me and my mom went up to the mall to the salon to get my hair cut, and then we looked around for a bit. I found a Mariners t-shirt with Ichiro's name and number on the back in the Modells across from the hair salon, just like the one my mom got three huge bleach stains on it, thus disallowing me from wearing it outside. And it was an XXL, too! Geez, i almost never find team sutff other than the Phillies and the Yankees, so that made me real happy. Oh, you know what? They just opened a Hollister store near the food court! I took a quick glance in there(quick b/c my mom wanted to leave) and from what i saw, i think i'm gonna like that store! I'm going to go up there on Friday and look around more...

Ahh, the advantages of having no class on Fridays....
(this is going to be SO much fun this year!)

2003-08-26T07:44:00.000-04:00

(was supposed to go out last night, but whatever...)

Well, I got back from Six Flags just before 5:00 in the evening...I had a lot of fun when I was there. We just stayed in Hurricane Harbor(that's the water park) because it was way too expensive to get admission at both parks. If we had gotten it, we wouldn't have had enough money to eat anything. A lot of the time was spent in the wave pool they have there and sitting in front of it...I went on some of the water slides, and suprisingly enough, i was less scared on those than i normally am on roller coasters. There was one my dad tried to coax me to go on, i think it was called the Plunge, or something like that, but i just wouldn't. In my opinion, Death Drop would have been a better name for it, but then again, my dad likes that kinda stuff ^_^
So, I had an all-around good time...wish we had done that sooner!

The only drawback to the whole thing was that right now as I am typing this, i have the worst sunburn ever...on my arms, my legs, my back...even my FACE. I feel like every part of me is on fire just underneath the skin. This i blame on my mom, she forgot our sunscreen and refused to buy some there, insisting that it was probably a rip-off. I just want to know how i got sunburn on my legs when most of the time, when i wasn't in the pool and/or on a ride, I had my Braves beach towel(which i won at an arcade the last time i went down the shore, which was 2 years ago, right before my senior year of HS) wrapped around my legs? The sun probably came through the towel and burned me that way. This is like a million times worse than the sunburn i got when I went to the Phillies/Braves game last July when I got sunburn over the left half of my body. Actually, i think we all got sunburned today...i think i was the worst though. The skin on my right bicep is peeling a little bit...i never had it this bad, ever!

I don't think i am going to be sleeping much tonight:(

2003-08-24T18:44:00.000-04:00

Well, my weekend was decent...Saturday, I went to the Pennsauken(sp?) Mart with my parents(it's in NJ, btw.)...It's like this giant flea market/mall thing, it's really cool and a lot of the stuff is cheap. Unfortunately, i didn't bring my money with me >_< Hey, I was kinda dragged there...i didn't think there would be anything of interest for me there. Boy, was I wrong! I would have had my money spent before we even got halfway through the place. I DID get one thing, my mom bought me this awesome pair of slip on white Skechers with a little rhinestone American flag on the bottom part of the laces. So yeah, it was suprisingly fun...I have a mental shopping list for when we go back there and i have money.

Next weekend is going to be SO much fun! We're gonna go to Six Flags again...this time we're staying at a hotel for the weekend. If all goes well, we should be back home next Tuesday morning. I'm praying to every deity that i can think of that everything will turn out the way it's supposed to, and not into a repeat of our last attempt to go there, which was a disaster in every sense of the word.

And i'm going to wear my new patriotic Skechers when we go...WOO-HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

(before you ask, yeah, i'm insane...you would be too if you grew up in my family. Oh sure, blame it on the parents ^_~)

2003-08-17T19:51:00.000-04:00

well, i changed the layout...still under construction.

I got it off of blogskins.com, go there if you wanna find excellent layouts for your blog!

2003-08-17T18:12:00.000-04:00

well, i didn't go out last night...just stayed in and rented some movies, What A Girl Wants and How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days. I watched What A Girl Wants first, the other one i haven't seen yet. I really liked that movie, i did...and thet dude that plays her boyfreind is wicked hot:) Wish i could rememmber his name though...

Anyway, that's pretty much it...exciting weekend, huh? *Sarcasm*

2003-08-15T05:50:00.000-04:00

well, as you know, a good chunk of the Northeast part of the country was affected by a terrible power outage...New York was heavily affected, as was Detroit, Cleveland, and parts of Canada. I heard on the news that even parts of North Jersey and Connecticut were having power problems. Supposedly, something was wrong with the power grid or something...i dunno exactly what they said, but it was something like that. Scary stuff, huh?

i was online in a chat room when the outage began, and everyone started FREAKING out...wondering what the hell was going on, were we getting bombed, blaming it on Bin Laden, etc., etc. When my mom came home from work, she was flipping out because she heard on the way home that like, 80% of NY was without power, and she was really worried about my grandparents back in Buffalo. Thankfully, everyone was okay, but still, it freaked the hell out of my mom AND me.

Boy, yesterday was something else, wasn't it? *sarcasm*

2003-08-03T12:13:00.000-04:00

Yesterday, I went to my cousin Matt's 13th birthday party....it was okay. Kinda made me feel a little old though, because I remember when he was really little and stuff. I went swimming in the pool, but had to get out because it was raining:( so after eating, I just stayed inside and watched TV until it was time to cut the cake...i didn't really want to be outside any longer than I had to because it was SO FREAKING HOT!! Almost got into a fight with my mom over this, but didn't(which is a first).

I think we left at about 8:30...i fell asleep and just woke up when we were about to get on the Tacony-Palmyra bridge. Man, was I tired...but then I watched and taped a repeat of SNL, then got online, and then after getting off, I went to sleep.

Gaaahh, how boring does that sound?

2003-07-30T23:49:00.000-04:00

Well, last Thursday was my 19th birthday...I wasn't really able to do a whole lot cuz it was during the week, so Friday was when i was really able to celebrate cuz everyone was at work. A bunch of my gal pals took me out to eat in this really fancy resteraunt, and then we went out clubbing afterwards. Saturday, we all got to gether at Elaine's house and we did the traditonal blowing out of the candles and exchanging of presents.

Needless to say, it was a pretty fun couple of days and so nice of my freinds to suprise me like that. I wish i could do the same thinf for them, but i know if i did, it would go spectacularly wrong, as every plan i make invariably seems to do:(

2003-07-29T15:48:00.000-04:00

My name is Lisa, I just turned 19, and i live in Philadelphia, PA, but I was born in Buffalo, NY, where my family is originally from. We moved to Philly when i was 9. Sometimes I wish we stayed in Buffalo, but oh well. I'm going into my second year at community college, and after this year, I am planning to move back to Buffalo and finish college there. Whether or not I come back to Philly remains to be seen, but it's not likely...this place is like my private purgatory.

Anyway, I'm currently single, and not really looking...i'm concentrating mainly on school right now. It's not that i haven't had any dates, i have, it's just that i'm not ready right now to have a serious relationship, at least not yet. Much to the chagrin of my mother, who i swear to God is still stuck in the 1950's...she's been nagging me about having a boyfreind, and getting married. I'm like, whoa...i've only been out of high school for two years and she's already bringing up marriage? it is WAY too soon to think about that. That's another reason I want to move back, to get away from my mother's incessant haranging. It's almost all set too...my cousin Gina lives up there and she says i can live with her until i find a place of my own. The plan only awaits packing, plane tickets, and the end of the 2004 Spring semester.

I think I'd better stop here...there's just a slice of the kind of drivel(ha, ha, ha!) that will be in here. So if you like that kinda stuff, then don't be a stranger!

2003-07-29T11:08:00.000-04:00

just a test to see if the skin worked:)
