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.
xoxo

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