Wow I haven't written in like .. forever! I have to make this quick though, because I have a clarinet lesson in like 5 minutes. Anyway, the summer's going good i guess. I saw my brother, which made me very happy =] Hehe. And, no, I'm not being sarcastic. Today I'm off to Great Adventure with the girlies lol. Me, Amanda, Kristin, and Josie are gonna have a blast. Rich, that's only 4 people. Lmfaoo that was really funny. Okay inside joke people. It's gonna be great because I haven't seen these girls since forever either! Wow I miss them tremendously. By the way, I think I discovered that I don't like anyone. Even more, I think I realized that I never really liked anyone in the first place. All these movies I've been watching lately have been helping me out with that topic unintentionally lol. Well I gotta go. I doubt I'll update tonight because we're gonna get home at like 11:00. I'll update tomorrow I guess <3

Hi again. Yesterday's movie marathon was a dud, just incase anyone is interested. We went to see Spiderman 2 first. Wow! I take back the thing I said yesterday about Shrek 2 being the best movie in the world. You would not believe how great Spiderman 2 was. It's my new favorite movie. And to think, I didn't even want to go see it. The only bad thing, was it was kind of scary. Oh my god, at one point, I like literally jumped up out of my seat and like screamed! It was sooo funny. But, it was the greatest movie. My dad and I were on the popcorn line, until like 7:07, so we thought we had until 7:30, because that's when the movie started. Well, we were wrong. The girl in front of us on the line, was talking to her friends about how the 7:30 showing was empty. Haha. Well maybe it was, but the stupid person who takes the tickets (which was actually there for a change) sent us to the theater that had the 7:00 showing. So, we missed probably like 10 minutes of the movie. Oh well. And plus, when we walked in, there were like no seats on the top left so we had to sit about halfway towards the front on the floor rows of seats. Haha. But then after that movie, we wanted to go into Shrek until 10:20 when Harry Potter started, but it got all messed up because the ticket guy sent us to the wrong showing, and then by the time we got to Shrek, it was over. Haha. So we went into the Terminal, and there was a police guard standing by the door inside, while we were like walking into all the movies. It was hysterical. I was like I don't want to get arrested! Lmaoo. Wow, but then it didn't work, so we just went home. And that's my story, of basically the first time ever that I only saw one movie when I went to the Regal theater. Lol. Anyway, today is Saturday I think (wow I lost track since we're not in school lol). I'm going to Brooklyn to see my mom's side of grandparents lol. Yahh.. uhmm. Tomorrow my mom, dad, and I are probably going down to the Manasquan Reservior (excuse my spelling lmaoo) and then maybe coming back to see the fireworks at Freehold Raceway, because yano it's the fourth of July and all haha. Okay I'm going to finish getting ready now..

Hello. Well today didn't exactly work out as planned. Richie and I sat on the phone for about an hour yesterday while I was in Freehold Music getting different types of books for the clarinet. We couldn't make up our minds of what to do today, so I asked my mom, and she starts asking all the people around us like working at the counters and stuff. It was a riot! And then the same thing happened this morning. He called me, and we couldn't think so we decided we'd see Harry Potter at 2:35 at the Mega Movies. Then after all of that, he decides to tell me he can't go because his mother left to go bowling with his sister, and he didn't get a straight answer from her. Then when she came home, he asked if I still wanted to go, or if I just wanted to go to his house. So I was like, okay I'll just come to your house. Then, he decides to tell me how he took his temperature, and it said 102 degrees. I was so mad! Haha. But it's "all good" as Rohit would say. Hehe. I went to the Brunswick Square Mall with my mommy =] It was fun. I got two new bathingsuits from Pac Sun, a shirt, a skirt and sweatshirt from Deb, a pair of shoes and a light jacket-type thing from Rainbow, and a pink and black poodle purse from one of the stands (she like forced me into that one because "it matches perfectly with my poodle sweatshirt" lmaoo). I also picked up my name ring in Browntown shopping center today. It looks great! I love it. Haha. Now all I need are the earings and bracelet, because I think those are the only two things left. But I made a deal with my mom that I'd get one every like 2 years lol or if a special occasion comes up. Well, that was pretty much my day so far. Now my family and I are going to the Regal for a movie marathon. It's going to be a blast. It's so hysterical when we do this, because the people are so stupid that they don't even care lol. We're going to see Spiderman, and then when that's over, we're going to go in to Shrek 2 since it was like no doubt the best movie ever, and then when 10:20 comes, my mom and I are going to see Harry Potter, and my dad's going to see the Terminal. So, I guess that's about it for today. PLEASE leave comments! Haha. If anyone actually reads this. Lol. iLy (x 3)..

Hey. Sorry I haven't updated in a while. Well, if you're interested, Great Adventure was great! Who needed Rohit? Lol just kidding. We had a lot of fun, in our "story place" and all (lmaoo). Wow, we must have talked for like two hours at the Character Cafe, exchanging all sorts of stories and such. It was hysterical. We were at the park a total of about 9 hours. Woahh.. that's a long time. I didn't expect us to stay that long. But we watched the fireworks. They were awesome. Wow, Allison is seriously going crazy with her flickering lights lmfaooo. And Richie is just weird. Haha, kidding, I love them both because they're so amazing. Lol. Anyway, Monday was my first day of gymnastics camp. It felt so weird to be back at Monmouth Gymnastics after 7 years. And to think, I still remember everything. Unfortunately that doesn't necessarily mean I can still do everything lol. I'm so sore, you cannot even begin to imagine. Actually, this is supposed to be my fourth day, but I just didn't have the strength to get up and out of bed this morning. Seriously, I can't move any muscle in my body. I guess it's because I'm not used to using my hands because in dance you basically use your legs. In gymnastics, there's a lot of pressure on your arms, and boy can I feel it now. Haha. Oh well, I'll get over it. Well, I don't have camp tomorrow, and it's a Friday! How perfect hehe. If anyone is reading this, which I can highly doubt, call me and we can make plans to go somewhere. I want to go a lot of places this weekend as well, because then Monday-Thursday of next week, I have camp again . Lol. I don't really know what else to say, so I think I'm going to go now since no ones actually "on"-line haha. iLy (x 3). What is wrong with me? Am I that ugly, and do I have that bad of a personality? I mean, he meets her for one day and bam! Why can't it be like that for me? I think I need a guy's perspective on this one (haha).

Hey! Guess what!? I'm finally going to Great Adventure. Wow, I've only been talking about it for like half a week! Lol. Well, it's down to 3 people now, but that's okay. Rohit just found out that he has to go to a baby shower, so he can't come . And after all that convincing, right Allison? Haha. Oh well ((sigh)). I'm sure Allison, Richie, and I will have a great time. I would've liked to have one more "talkative" person in the group, but that's life. Lol. Why am I saying this? Don't ask. Anyway, I'm going to go finish watching Drumline, get ready, and eat lunch and all, so I'll make this an extra short entry and end it right here. iLy (x 3)..

Hey guys. No one is leaving comments, which makes me very sad . Well, today I'm probably going to the carnival, seeing the dance show thing, and then meeting up with Kelly and Nicole, as I discussed in the previous day's entry. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban was beyond amazing! I can't believe how scared I got when I looked at it last time. I mean even so, it still was a bit frightening, but it was great. Anyway, I'm watching It Takes Two right now. I love that movie beyond belief. It's so sad about what happened with Mary-Kate. I would think it would be Ashley that would be the one to be anorexic, because when they were younger, she was always the "cute one" and always wanted to be "prettier." But it's a confusing life out there lol. Okay, well I am really looking forward to Sunday- Great Adventure. Hopefully everyone will get along with each other. I'm scared Richie might feel left out. But hopefully not. Then on Monday, it's off to the first day of Gymnastics camp for me. Wow, I'm really excited. I haven't done gymnastics since I was about 7-years-old. I miss it so much. That reminds me, I have lacrosse on Monday too. Woah, that should be a busy day. The only thing that bugs me about the camps I'll be going to this summer, is that I have to get up at about 7:00 am from now on. Yeah, that'll be a bit hard, since I've been waking up at like 12:00 every day. Oh well, I'm going to go in the shower now so bye. iLy (x 3)..

Change of plans.. My dad and I are going to see Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban tonight at 7:00 at the Regal Theatre. It's supposed to thunderstorm, and we don't want to take the chance of the fireworks being cancelled, and go for no reason. So this should be fun, and maybe even scary. Lol it was so funny. You should have seen how high I jumped, and how fast I ran out of the theatre when my mom and I went into Harry Potter after seeing the Stepford Wives. It was hillarious. I got so scared because it was up to the part with the big dog. But now, I'm going to face my fears and sit through the whole 2 hours and 21 minutes of it.

Hey! Good .. morning/evening? Lol. Well, right now I'm being my lazy self for about the fourth time this week. I just woke up at 11:00, and I've been trying to finalize my plans for Great Adventure on Sunday now it is. Rohit just decides to tell me about James' party, and how it was suddenly switched to Sunday. Then, what I didn't understand, was that he was going to actually go to his party, when he just got invited yesterday, at Tom's party. However, James' party was supposed to be today, Friday. Along with that, Rohit told me that he could come to Great Adventure with us on Wednesday, when we were talking. You don't even know how mad I got. Then, Allison came to the rescue lmaoo and talked to him about how it's not right and all. She was saying how he's probably had this party planned for a long time, which couldn't make Rohit such a great friend, otherwise he would have been invited originially, and not the day before. Haha it was so funny. Then afterwards Rohit finally decided to come with us, and I was happier lol. He said Allison was sort of like his mother when he had to decide whether to go to OBHS or not. It was hysterical. So now I just have to find out the times from my mother, and wait for Richie to call back, and it will be all set. Finally! Lol. Anyway, yesterday was so much fun. I love being with them- KP, NP, CK, and JA (I think). They're so much fun. We played mi-ni-a-ture golf, the wrong way of course, and waited for the slowpoke-tourist-looking people in front of us to move. Lol, and we all won stuffed animals, and named them for eachother. Except Kelly didn't like her's so I traded with her to make her happy. Haha. And then DDR was hysterical. Kelly was like spazzing out and Jenny, who was playing against her, was all calm. It was hillarious. Then, when I got Christina to play, we went on easy and she kept on playing the same song. It was so funny because I almost had it memorized, and so did she (that was the point lol). There was a part where it made you look like a duck. Wow. Haha. Good times, good times. BFFL <3 L.Y.L.A.S. Then afterwards we went to Browntown shopping center for some stuff, and saw Pauly, on her way to Drugfair to pick up some pictures. That was after we went into the NYSC to check out how old you had to be to join. Wow did you know the age limit is 14- even without a parent! So awesome! So now me and Christina are planning to join maybe this summer or next year. Lol. I think I'm going to the carnival to see the fireworks tonight. I'm probably going tomorrow also to see Nick Ruiz dance, and go on rides since it's wristband night. That should be fun. Well I'll stop my babbling now, since I'm getting kind of hungry. iLy (x 3) ..

Hello again. Guess what. Today I'm actually going to have fun! Well, right now I'm about to go in the shower. After that, I'm probably going to either relax more, since the stupid phone woke me up at 7:00 am, or come back online to see if I can finalize my plans for Great Adventure on Sunday. Wow do I hate being the hostess of get-together type things. Anyway, at 12:00 Mrs. Purcell is coming to pick up me, Christina, and Jenny (Kelly and Nikki's cousin) and we're all going to Funmania. First, we're going to pick up lunch at the pizza place, and then we'll be off to a nice round of miniature golf. Boy should that be fun! Lol. Well, I'm expecting it to be since three of my best friends (and Jenny who is really nice- i met her at Kelly and Nikki's for their graduation get-together) will be there, and we'll get a chance to talk and catch up on all that we've missed since a whole week ago! Haha Rohit. Then after we finish golfing, we're going to go inside and play some games (if there are any left that aren't broken lol). Hopefully we'll be done in time to stop by at the St. Ambrose carnival because I've really been wanting to go. Tuesday night I was just too lazy to get off this computer chair, and go call someone to go with. Wednesday, I went to see the dancers. They were great. But since I was talking to Rohit (and his oh so wonderful friend- note the sarcasm- hehe), Glenn, and Richie pretty much the whole day, I forgot to ask someone again. Of course my mother suggested "we" walk around and look for someone. However, she wasn't aware of how this "we" idea would totally crush my end of the social status bar. Haha. Too bad it wouldv'e been just as bad to walk around myself searching for a friend. So we left right after the performances. Then I went home to see if anyone was online that would go, but Richie said he couldn't, and Josie had to watch her little brother and sister, and clean the house. So, I've been looking forward to it, and hopefully we can go tonight. Well I think that's about it, and now I'm going to go in the shower. I might add more later. iLy ----- (x2) & ------

Well this is my first entry in this journal so here it goes ..

Ahh there's so much to say. Monday was the first day of summer. There are so much pros and cons of the 2004 summer vacation. I'm going to miss all of those who aren't going to OBHS. Why can't everyone just go there. It's not fair. Now, don't get me wrong. If I were given the chance to go to another school besides OBHS, I would chose it in a heartbeat. I, sadly, just don't have that option. Although I don't know of much who aren't going to Old Bridge, the ones I like the most are the ones who are leaving. Is it always like that? I guess so. Either that or i am living with an immense gray cloud over my head. Well anyway, Monday was not only the start of summer, but the start of a wonderful year of lacrosse training camp as well. Wow, I cannot even describe how great that sport is. All we learned was how to cradle, pass, and catch (not even all on the run yet), and I'm already addicted! I would reccomend it to anyone. From now on I, along with around 50 other unexperienced girls, will be training at OBWest every Monday until some time in August, with the coaches of the girls lacrosse team. I don't know why, but I want to learn to play so much. Ok, enough babbling. Yesterday I went to play with the Brookdale Orchestra for my second week. How did it go? Lets just put it this way. Last week I came home crying. I'm fine now, though. I guess i was so nervous of what it would be like, that I was too stunned to sightread the music. Never have I looked at a piece filled with notes ranging from eighth to sixteenth, and seen nothing but jibberish. It went better this time though. There are still a few people that scare me (especially the old guy next to me who can't read music for his life) but that's alright. Wow, the car ride with Brian, Jocelyn (Brian's girlfriend), Kevin, Kaitlyn, and me is overly hysterical! Haha. Kaitlyn has to be the funniest person on the face of this planet lol. Anyway, moving on, I have been extremelly bored the past couple of days. I guess I was so overexcited at the "zillion" parties I went to this weekend (note the sarcasam). I guess there were enough to satisfy me though. First, on Friday, I went to Allison and Stephanie's graduation party at the OB First-Aid Squad Station place thing lol. However, the morning of their party, I went to Great Adventure with my oh so nice brother (hehe half sarcastic because he's cool =P), Brian, and his interesting friend Paul. We had a good time I guess, aside from the fact that my legs are still in pain from the stupid bench ride that practically kills you, and their .. ooh never mind that haha. I went to Allison and Steph's party about an hour and a half late, due to my immense quality of procrastination, that made me forget to get them presents. Then when I finally got there, what I expected to happen, happened. I wasn't friends with just about all the people that were there. If Brian Heitzer, my lifesaver, didn't come over and start talking to me, I would have been forced to sit myself the whole time. But besides the fact that I didn't really "know-know" anyone there, it was exceptionally O-K. The next day, I had three parties to go to. I felt special that day. First was Lauren G's (sorry Lauren, I still don't know how to spell your last name lol). Wow great times. Even though I only stayed about an hour and a half, it was hysterical. Suzanna and Brittany kept on laughing at about everything and saying it was a supposed "inside-joke" from the beginning of the day. Coltrane and I felt left out for about half the time, but that's okay. We watched some movie with Josh Hartnett and Orlando Bloom that I forgot what the name was (something like Blackhawk Down?), and then put make-up on Coltrane. It was hillarious! We made him white by putting cover-up on. Wow. And then we put purple eyeshadow on, and tried to manage lipgloss, but we couldn't keep his head still. It was so funny. Then it came to taking the picture, which wasn't easy. As an analogy, it was just as hard as trying to hold a horse still. Haha. Then Coltrane went on the top bunk of Lauren's bed, and we took the ladder down while he was up there. He refused to jump down, even though he was only about two feet off the floor, and I kept on tickling his feet so he'd get annoyed at me. Priceless. I didn't stay much longer after that, but it was all great. Then I was off to Amanda Shortlidge's pool party. Oh wow it was awesome. There were too many inside jokes and mean things lol that I won't mention here just incase someone gets angry. It was so cool because the people that were there are so great. I love you guys. Anyway, skipping to after those joke-type things, lol. Amanda and I were sitting by the fire, when her uncle, I believe, came over to light it. We were awfully close, so he said you might want to move away from there, it could get big. Then we looked at eachother, and then at the fire, saw the little flame in it, and waited a few seconds to see how "big" it would get. When it remained small, we moved closer to it to feel the warmth. Right when we moved closer, it burst in flames, and we jumped back and screamed. It was so funny. Everyone was laughing at us. Wow. I'm going to miss Amanda so much, since she's going to SJV. Grr. Haha. Anyway, then we roasted marshmallows. It was fun. Amanda was teaching me how because I've only done it once in my life, and it wasn't turning brown or gray or any color besides white! She's a pro I tell you. Haha. So then I went to Kelly and Nikki's "get together" party for graduation, and for their dance recital. I felt left out because no one came (kids I mean), and their whole family was there. It kind of put me out of place. But it was fun because I met their cousin that goes to their dance school. She's a year younger than us, but man she's amazing! So funny. Well we went on their trampoline and I kept on falling on my butt because I've never really had experience on trampolines. It was fun. And then we went into Nikki and Kelly's room. Wow it's so cool! The colors are amazing! Okay I'll stop lol. We went downstairs and annoyed their older cousin, I believe. Then their mom lit the candles on the cake. Wow it was so funny because she was trying to figure out what to put on the cake at the store. She said well, it's a graduation so you can't really put "happy graduation." Then she said their names are Nicole and Kelly, so you could put "congratulations on your graduation Nicole and Kelly." Then when she estimated it out it would have to go all around the edges about 10 times. Lmaoo! So she decided to put in simple terms "congratulations Kelly and Nicole." Then Nikki and Kelly had a fight, and asked a ton of people whether they say Nicole and Kelly, or Kelly and Nicole. Wow it was so funny. Getting back to the candles. Okay, their mom lit the candles, and everytime the family sang they had to say "happy graduation dear Kelly, Nicole, and Ariel" or something like that. And then of course Kelly kept on blowing out all the candles instead of us getting some. So we kept on lighting them over and over, and singing over, and over. Haha. Then we said she takes after the evil side of the family, but I think they both do because knowing Nikki (eeeevvviill). Hehe. Then finally, when Nikki and I got a candle each, we cut the cake, and their dad kept on sticking his finger in my icing. Haha. Well then we talked for a while and I left at about 11:00 P.M. to go back to Amanda's party, because it was a sleepover (KC, JT, AS, AD, JK, NA, AM- me, S?- that's Samantha, Amanda's 11 year old neighbor from before she moved to Old Bridge). Wow I must have the nicest parents in the world to drive me back and forth the whole day. That's why I <3 them. Lol. When I got back they were already in the basement in their sleeping bags deciding which movie to watch. We concluded on the Sweetest Thing, and then when that was over, I was half asleep, so I didn't get to watch the 10 Things I Hate about You. But it was funny because Josie said before the movie, that when everyone falls asleep, she gets hyper. To everyone's surprise, she was the second one sleeping, and even more shocking, Kristin was the first. Hehe. They're both great. Too bad I only got a little bit of sleep because of SOMEONE's snoring (cough cough - Nicole - cough cough) lol! She kept everyone up. But that's okay. In the morning Kristin kept on saying "I wanna make waffles." But the only problem is that Amanda doesn't have a waffle-maker. Haha. Wow funny times, funny times, lol. So we stuck to the freezer waffles. Haha. So then at about 12:30 I think, I left and that was the end of my wonderful partying-spree. Oh well. So now I'm here sitting in front of the computer, typing this stupid message, God only knows why. So if you're still reading, I think I'm going to conclude this very long, boring, entry because you're probably saying "thank God it's over" in your head. Why would you want to read about my monotonous life anyhow, especially when it takes up the whole page. Hehe. I'll keep you posted anyway. Leave comments, and call me please if you want to go to the carnival tonight, because I'm going anyway. I <3 you * if you only knew ..
