i think lori's birthday celebration was a success. wednesday night was fun, the blarney and the foo bar were both pretty empty, and we had no problem just taking up all the space, dancing. saw steph leach at the blarney, probably haven't seen her since graduation, and we smiled and waved and i didn't go over and do the superficial "how are you what are you doing with yourself" type conversation. i just don't want to. does that make me horrible? lori got sick on the way home, and mariss got sick when we got back here. katie and i were fine... thursday night we went out for dinner. there was unfortunate drama surrounding dinner, all because of complete miscommunication between katie mariss and i. it sucked. it sucked so bad. we did our best to get over it and went to the CocoBongo to see Raffi's band play their first Clark show since last year. It was fun, although we didn't stay to hear 11:11 (a personal favorite.) I have to admit that after Raffi played John Mayer's "your body is a wonderland" and i understood more of the words, I liked the song a lot more the next time i heard it on the radio. a lot of random people were there and it was fun to see them, but we moved on to lietrim's. on my way out i passed andy's girlfriend and i turned around to make sure everyone was still behind me and she had grabbed one of her friends and pointed at me and yelled "that girl jen HATES me" and i was like "weeeeird" and kept walking out. outside, lori told me that she had seen her start to follow me out and there was "some sort of commotion." I know we all do weird things drinking, but it was so strange. i don't know why she would think i hate her ... i feel kind of bad about that, although my only impressions of her are that she's pretty mean. i don't know. it's weird to think she even thinks anything about me. especially since she comes off so tough. i feel the need to say something if i ever see her alone on the street. anyways, then 2 carloads of us went to lietrims and danced and danced and danced and it was so fun! steph and mike and kate came, so did dori, plus our usual crowd. good times. saw the usual lhs - ers ... its just weird.
last night we threw lori a birthday party that was complete fun. danielle came out, which was awesome, and brought casey and megan. we had fun. a bunch of us took escort to "walgreens" and walked to lietrims. they actually had to go back and pick up more of our crowd. again, a completely fun time. no one from my high school was there, haha. i met one cute guy there, which was fun... but its not like we're gonna hang out. bars are so weird. we went to tortilla sams after with doug and jamie. i had yummy cream soda (2 actually, thanks to dougs wonderful friend jason). we came back really late. jason has been to the town i lived in in Indiana. haha. at 330 a.m. after a night at the bar, i was overjoyed about this. it is pretty cool though ... i mean, how many people have ever been there, really? i think i need to arrange for us all to go eat at sam's one night soon, to see this boy again. hmmm.
today was low key. i got up late and cleaned a little and ate soup and went to work. work was okay, i was out early. last night (or rather, very early this morning) i was planning to go to amherst after work tonight, but i called danielle tonight and told her i def. was not. it was a silly plan, and i'm tired. so here i am. i rented videos, and i'm going to drink tea and clean my room and hope my sinus head ache goes away. :(

i'm going home tomorrow after the shower to relax and regroup and really enjoy a day off.
see you tuesday after work.

can't remember what went wrong last september, though i'm sure you'd remind me if you had to . . .

i love love love my town. I was there Thursday for the night, and went up last night to have dinner with my sis and go see Red Dragon (which I liked). Driving around, I was just full of love for the LB. It can't be beat in the fall.
Saturday I was going to buy pumpkins but A. it was too warm and B. Mo and I went to see Moonlight Mile at 340. I really liked MM, but I wouldn't say you absolutely need to run out and see it in the theater, but I would definitely highly recommend that you rent it asap. That's not to say I felt like I wasted $6, because that's not it. I just don't want to give the impression that it was amazing.
Friday night Erin came out, which was awesome. We went to the Foo Bar, but it was no good, so we rode Escort to Walgreens and walked to Lietrim's. Apparently, it was Assumption Alumni weekend. Whatever it was, it was packed, and I had SOOOOO much fun. Adrienne got an ugly boy, and Jamie to buy us $1 drafts, although I had money. Score. I danced a ton, it was just a great night. We started walking back to Walgreens, but Mo, Vin and I decided to go back for Hot Dogs. On the way back towards home everyone was at Hess waiting for a ride. We waited for a bit, too, then decided to keep walking. Escort was so late picking them up that we actually got home before them. It's quite the trek, too. It felt good to walk and run and talk though. Mariss and I talked in the kitchen for soooo long after, then I talked to Doug online for awhile, and eventually it was something like 445 when I finally went to bed. I did manage to get up at 1015 to get over to Kate and Adrienne's for breakfast. Score.

i have realized several things lately

#1 i'm a bad friend. i am always telling people we should do things, sometimes saying i'll call, come by, or suggesting specific things, sometimes telling them what i'm doing and telling them to call me. i raaaarely follow through. i'm horrid. i need to realize that all of my friends no longer live in my building, or are in my english class. i need to you know, put in a little effort. sorry.
#2 i am graduating college. people are going to start spreading out, even if me and mo and kate and lori stay here, everyone else might not be. so sad. :(

love you!
