  • So. Homecoming. It was alright, I'd say. The best out of all the homecomings I've ever been to. But that isn't very hard to do, and even so it didn't clear them by very far. The reasoning behind this is because I had to go solo, since Matt had tickets for the Packer's football game this afternoon, and he was driving there all of yesterday. He got the tickets back sometime in the summer though, before we knew when homecoming would be this year, so it was alright, but stiill. Out of all the weekends he had to miss.. I mean, I got the dress I was wearing just for him and everything. But, hey, he'll see pictures, which works, I suppose. But I missed him horribly, especially during the slow dances. I mean, Julie, a girl in my art class, stopped dancing with her date just to give me a hug I seriously needed during the last song, which I wouldn't have even listened to if I hadn't had to go looking for Carlos, cause I honestly felt like I was about to cry. Having Beth and her boyfriend over for the night for my after party didn't really help either.

    And, get this. I found out literally just before I left that my great-grandma died yesterday morning. This is sad enough. But I'm going to have to miss Wednesday afternoon, Thursday and Friday at school for the drive there and back (Erie, six hours each way). So then I'll have tons of work to make up. And - this is a 'oh that just figures' moment - Matt's going to be missing tomorrow and possibly Tuesday too, for the drive home, depending on how long he and his parents take mingling around being tourists in Green Bay. So after missing him at the dance this weekend, and at my after party, and after two days of school, I'm going to be missing him at a funeral too, where I'm going to be depressed enough as it is since they always make me cry. The fact that it's my great-grandma'll play a part too, but I never really knew her, so it's hard to get choked up about it.

    So yeah. I'm not really looking forward to this week at all. The trip to D.C. this weekend got called off too, cause the uncle we were gonna stay with is still gonna be in Erie. Plus nobody's gonna feel like it at that point.

    It isn't really helping that my neck feels like hell right now. I have no idea what I did to it. Mom says I slept on it wrong, but I must have slept on it really wrong then cause it feels like I'd been using a rock as a pillow.

    The few things I'm happy about right now are that the Packer's won their game so I know Matt's having a blast, I earned $10 or so working for dad again today, I'm gonna apply to Michael's soon since the Best Buy people are fucking bastards who never called me to tell me I wasn't gonna be hired, I'm warm, my hair looks nice still, I don't have much homework, and Guild Wars and my entire stash of junk food is calling to me. Oh, and the fact that we watched Quinn play God of War this morning. That game is wicked awesome. Gory as all hell and out of my league to play, but amazing to watch.

    And now, cause Homecoming actually was somewhat enjoyable as long as slow songs weren't playing, here are my pictures:


























    And that's all I have. I was contemplating putting up Ren Faire pictures too, but I don't have many good ones from that so they'll only be on my Photobucket.

  • Okay so yesterday had to be the best day I've had in a long time. Yes, that does include the concert last weekend. I rocked my head off, yes, and yes it was amazing, but it starts to lose its fun when you have to put forward more effort into trying to stay conscious rather than into having fun. I don't even really remember the last few songs of Breaking Benjamin. But hey, yes, it was a good time.

    But this Saturday was even better. It was the first actual date Matt and I've been on in a long time, and it took up most of the day too. We went to Gettysburg.. went rock climbing on Big Roundtop and Little Roundtop.. also on Devil's Den.. drove around the battlefields, looked at stuff.. I took pictures of the rocks.. we sunned on one like a pair of iguanas.. got a bag full of homegrown local apples on the way there, damn those are good.. stopped by Boiling Springs on the way home, to take a walk around the lake and to take some really pretty pictures, since the sun was close to setting.. and I was silly after that and took some more pictures from the window of his car as he was driving.. we crashed for a bit in his house.. played Frets on Fire, had tickle attacks, he watched football, it was a good time.. then he treated me to Chinese for dinner and we had the best conversation ever.. childhood reminiscence <3

    Plus, it was awesome not having any specific time to be home.. mom's not home this weekend, so I had told dad I'd be home before seven, but that would've been pushing for time in the first place, so I called him and told him I wouldn't be home till later.. I didn't actually get home till 9:45, and it was nice cause the only reason why I was so late was cause Matt and I were lost in talking

    And then I spent the rest of the night on Guild Wars ^^

    So yes, yesterday was absolutely amazing.. I'm sure you didn't really care for a full-blown description, but I don't really care, I'm happy and I want to share my warm-and-fuzzy feelings

    The only thing I have to do today is try calc homework, so today's not looking too shabby either ^^

    And now, I must go downstairs, dad wants me to do some work for him

    Much <3 and huggles!

  • R.I.P. Summer of 2007
    Technically (6/21 - 9/23)
    Academically (6/09 - 8/29)

    Best summer ever, full of awesome moments and carefree memories.
    May you be looked back upon with much fondness.
    And may you not lead to horrible depression this year.
    You'll be missed. <3<3

About Me

  • So you ask who I am. I am known as Jen, a graduated senior at CVHS and sophomore at PSU. They call me crazy, but, they also think I'm 23, so they know nothing. I would welcome you into the dark and dusty corners of my mind, but if you really knew what I was thinking, you would run away screaming. You have been forewarned.
