the Marathon Post
Well its been QUITE a while since i've said anything on this. Since around April i think. so i guess i have a lot to say...
first of all though, i did this in a post a million years ago, but i wanna see who still reads this and who still loves me, so do this:
Post a memory of me in the comments.
It can be anything you want.
Then post this in your journal and see what people remember of you.
i forgot how to lj cut so i'm sorry for the length. don't hate me.
So yeah. Life is innnnnsaaane. Johnson and Wales is the greatest place on the planet. haha not really, but sometimes it feels that way. I love the friends i've gathered, and i definitely feel like i'm going to continue to be friends with them throughout the time i'm here. Two inparticular, Bristol and John, are very very awesome. John is into punk music, he plays the drums, he's all about frisbee, and is almost as good as me at it, and he has the same sense of humor as me, and a lot of the same interests as well. Bristol is a very very cool girl. Always smiling, and always able to make me smile. She likes cool music. I'm excited to learn a lot more from her about music. She knows a whole different genre then what i listen to, and it will be interesting to hear what she has to say about it. But i love hanging out with them, and they are very very cool people.
Providence is the shit. I enjoy it so much. It might be because i've only lived in Hollis, and only visited Boston. Living in the city is amazing. Every time i walk around, i just feel like singing that song from SLC Punk... "I LOVE LIVIN IN THE CITY" Its so cool though. so beautiful, so many lights, so much things to do, so much energy, so much music, so much beauty, ugh i love it. I saw one of the best bands i have ever seen the other day. They are called Fluttr Effect, and they absolutely rocked. I didn't even intend to go, we were just walking around and happened upon an open mic, and decided to pay the 6 dollars to get in. The first band was terrible, overplayed drums, chinese lead singer who played bad guitar and had nothing but underwear on that did not stay on his body, and we got many clear views of his behind. It was less than appealing. But then this band came on that was just unreal. There was a xylaphonist, a celloist, a singer, drummer, and guitarist. They played so well together, and they were just so sexy. The xylaphonist was in a red dress, and personally, i think dresses on girls are the hottest thing ever, and she played the best xylaphone ever. It was amazing how fast she was going and she was using 4 mallots and making it work. It was unreal. And the celloist was the awesomist girl ever. i think i fell in love with her. The best part about the whole band was that the whole time they had huge genuine smiles on their faces. I couldn't stop smiling just watching them, and i encourage EVERYONE to go see a Fluttr Effect show if you get the chance. They're from Boston. Its so beautiful when people enjoy playing music, and showing others their talents. Its absolutely amazing. go see them. do it. Providence music scene is the shit, hands down.
My roomates are cool, with the exception of one. His name is Ezra, and he's very egotistical, and should have spaghetti shot on him. Adam is really cool. hes really funny, and i enjoy hanging out with him. and Marie (pronounced MAR ((as in sea in spanish))-ee) is cool too. He's Jamaican, and i have learned a lot about the Jamiacan culture, and how to speak it. i learned some cool jamaican words that i may have to start using. It seems like he can swich on and off his Jamaican accent, which is annoying, because some times he keeps it on, and its so hard to understand. Also hes into a lot of reggae, so i'm definitely starting to get into that.
There are a lot of douche bags here. People that i don't enjoy the company of. But i guess there is douchebags everywhere, so i shouldnt complain...
My classes are cool. JWU is divided into trimesters, and the first one, i was lucky enough to be put into AM academic classes. Which means that i have to wake up at 6, iron my uniform, shower, shave, and be at class by 6:45. and you thought you're early classes sucked! but its not that bad. I'm basically taking math, science, english, and a sanitation class, and a career management class. My schedule is actually cool because tuesday i only have one class at 1:30, and i don't have any classes friday bitches! so it all evens out. I could complain, but whats the use? i'm at the absolute best school for me, so theres no reason to. I consider myself VERY lucky to be here. However, i definitely can't wait for my culinary labs to start. From my friends who are taking them, they sound like a lot of fun. i hope i get afternoon classes though, because the labs are 6 hours long, which would be less cool if they were at 7 in the morning. but either way, i'm pumped.
I miss Hollis a lot, but not as much as i thought i would. I'm coming home this weekend, but i would kind of rather stay here. In case anyone was wondering, i enjoy calling the town i live in Hollis, because Brookline basically sucks. I consider myself from Hollis, and i'm sorry if anyone has a problem with taht. Don't get me wrong, its going to be very much fun to see everyone, sleep in my own bed, see micah, and everyone i havn't seen in what seems liek forever. but i just get this weird feeling of now that i've left it behind, why should i go back to it? its hard to explain, and i don't think i have completely validated my thoughts on the subject. I definitely am not going to forget anything, i just feel like going back would be a breach in my new life, it seems like. that sounds so lame, but i don't know how else to phrase it.
I miss John so much. Its so weird talking to him on the phone, and not hanging out with him every day. I'm so glad he's having a blast, and i am too. Its cool/weird to imagine him enjoying his life without me there, you know? well, maybe you know.
and i also miss Erica. I've been wanting to go to starbucks, so i'm definitely looking forward to that with ian and her. Some of my favorite memories with those two goobers was at starbucks. ugh i love you two so much. fyi, this post is for you, ian, because you told me to, and i havn't gotten around to it until now.
and i miss the laguna beach parties, the sabbagh residence, the good good times, the parties, oh man. This summer was so much fun. "We've got some times I wouldn't trade for the world"
Well anyways, i guess thats all i have to say. I hope that anyone who i haven't kept in touch with, and wants to be in touch with me, calls me immediately, because it would be dumb if they didn't. I hope that everyone is enjoying themselves wherever they are in life, and i love you all...
i can't promise, but there may be more updates in the future. but who knows... :D
