To be, or not to be,--that is the question:-- Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them?--To die,--to sleep,-- No more; and by a sleep to say we end The heartache, and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to,--'tis a consummation Devoutly to be wish'd. To die,--to sleep;-- To sleep! perchance to dream:--ay, there's the rub; For in that sleep of death what dreams may come, When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause: there's the respect That makes calamity of so long life; For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely, The pangs of despis'd love, the law's delay, The insolence of office, and the spurns That patient merit of the unworthy takes, When he himself might his quietus make With a bare bodkin? who would these fardels bear, To grunt and sweat under a weary life, But that the dread of something after death,-- The undiscover'd country, from whose bourn No traveller returns,--puzzles the will, And makes us rather bear those ills we have Than fly to others that we know not of? Thus conscience does make cowards of us all; And thus the native hue of resolution Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought; And enterprises of great pith and moment, With this regard, their currents turn awry, And lose the name of action.--Soft you now! The fair Ophelia!--Nymph, in thy orisons Be all my sins remember'd."

me and jami were talking and wanted to plan a girls thing right? well, we are all booked solid and cant do anything till the beginning of dec!!! how sad is that.

congrats justin:D

i bought a 93 gold taurus. picking it up tonite.

i work too much.

scottie - can i ride with u to jessa's wedding?

for some reason, jus cuz i was wearing my senior sweatshirt today, my cj class thought i was a cheerleader. umm no, most definately not. i was deeply offended by the comment.

i broke my nail.

hopefully my grant money is coming next week...then i can pay everyone off.

its unanimous. we have bad luck with cars. in the past 3 weeks, i was in 2 accidents, jami was in 1, maria and melissa's tire shredded, and then after they got that fixed, there was a glitch in the electircal system (they drive a lumina). amanda's fuel pump went out on her, and she hit 2 deer, andre hit a deer, and maria and melissa's mom just hit a deer. We have some seriously bad luck with cars - look out...but then again, that's going to end now that i get a new car.

my hearing is on the 23rd.

thats all for now. i ran out of things to say and i have class in like 20 minutes. cya!

I wish I could cry
I feel terrible. I feel depressed. I feel sad for all my friends that are sad. I wish I could make them not feel sad, but unfortuneately, I do not think I can. I try to get them to open up and say what's wrong. Sometime's they do, sometimes they don't. Sometimes talking helps, but sometimes people don't want to talk. Why can't everyone be happy? Then again, what would life be without pain? A good thing about today is that I told Megan about the drinking thing and she was cool about it. I know what it's like to have people do stuff and not tell you, so I don't want to put her in that position. She said that she thought I might've been drunk but wasn't sure because I smelled like alcohol but was only a little more goofy than I usually am. We had a nice conversation about drinking. Megan's a good person. I respect her for her decisions and for the fact that she's cool with things. I don't know what it is but I feel like a shell at times. Now is one of those times. It's like I'm waiting for something that isn't coming. I really want to meet that one girl that just blows me away and will actually like me in return. I'm definitely blowing things out of proportion, but there is this one girl in two of my classes who I'm slowly (very slowly) getting to know better - and hopefully there's some sort of chance there. We'll see.

bottom of the bottle
Where to begin about this crazy weekend. Well, for starters, I got drunk friday night. Hahaha. First time. I feel bad because it was actually a lot of fun. I woke up with a slight hangover, but I remember everything. Some details were a little sketchy the next morning. Thersa, Sara, Sara D., Jessica, Keith and I all went to TKE. We had to pay $5 for cups but we could have as much beer as we wanted. It tasted gross, but I tried to down as many as I could. After last weekend, I wanted to get drunk - to see what it was like. I wasn't really keeping track of how much I had, but I think I had 7 or 8 cups in a matter of two and a half hours. It was strange because I didn't even think that I was drunk, but theresa and everyone was saying that I was, and now I definitely know that I was. I was singing and dancing and swearing and just being silly. I saw Laura, Ashley, and Nelly at the party. I think I surprised them by not only being there but by being drunk! But they said I was fun and told me I should come partying with them sometime. Oh man. I'm supposed to go to DePaul tonight, and I'm kinda hoping that there will be alcohol there - is that bad or what? Kendall and I had a nice long talk last night. A lot of the conversation was about none other than alcohol. She gave me some good advice: as long as I don't have to be drunk to have fun, I should be good. Well, so far I don't have to be - but it's turning into something that I want to do EVERY weekend! Maybe I'm jumping to conclusions. She also said that a lot of it right now is the novelty of it, and that it will wear off after a while. It was ironic because when Jessica and Sara took me and keith to the rambler room to get water, we bumped into none other than Megan, and I had to check in her friend Josh that night (he was staying in my room). I think I pulled it together, but she has to know that I had been drinking. Supposedly I almost tripped when I went to go to the bathroom? Hmm..don't remember that. But Keith was so much more gone than I was, that maybe she didn't notice me as much? I dunno. I'm going to talk to her about it sometime after her friend leaves. Matt had his friend Amanda spend the weekend too, so we had a total of four people sleeping in our room. It felt like one great big massive orgy, lol. Friday night was fun too, except everyone did their own thing. I woke up after only 3 hours of sleep and worked the open house. I only gave one tour, but I spent a good amount of time talking with Laura, so it was fun. Plus, my tour group was great even though it was EXTREMELY WINDY! Immediately after, Sara D. and I went to Graceland Cemetary with the D'Arcy Art Club. It was a fun halloween activity but kind of boring because the guy giving the tour was just a bad tour guide. We got to see a few famous graves, though, and walk inside the Piper Family Mosoleum. Later in the evening, after dinner, some people went to do homework, others went to watch Donnie Darko in mertz, but Sara D. and I went to a haunted cemetary. It was great. The place was called Haunted Sanitarium and it was at the Theater on the Lake. The line to get in was like an hour long, but it was worth it. They had a lot of things jump out at you. The best was the guy with the chainsaw and the guy chained up to the wall who broke free as we passed by. Sara as screaming so loud it was funny. I just kept laughing the entire time. Find the place was an adventure in itself. Originally, the bus we needed completed passed us by! Then when we finally got on the right bus, our driver stopped to go the bathroom, we got "pulled over" by a cop because some lost person needed a ride, we got blessed by the pope, who had a gay lover, and we walked all around looking for the place after we got off the bus. On the way back we saw a fox or something in the middle of this park. Good times. When we got back Sara and I were starving so we went to Togos for some food. We tried waiting for keith but he was on the phone for a long time so we just went. Rohin went with us, and Megan and Josh met up with us there. Well, I better get some work done so I can go to this party tonight...

I have a little bit of a hangover right now, plus I didn't get any substantial sleep (maybe 3 hours?). Last night I went to the TKE frat house with Theresa, Sara, Keith, Sara D., and Jessica. Wild and crazy times. I remember everything that happened, but I'm going to collaborate with some of the others tonight and fill in the details later. Does this make me a bad person?

Take the quiz: "What Kinda Kiss R U?"

Playful Kiss
The playful kiss is about you having fun and not needing to have feelings for that person. You just go with the flow!

hello everyone.

life is almost good. im alive. i was in my worst accident yet (and hopefully my last). on tuesday, oct 13 (?) at approximately 8:15 am, i pulled out of my driveway and started heading down the road. it was really foggy and i had come up to the intersection. at this intersection, i have a stop sign, as did the person directly across from me. we let a few cars pass, and then, seeing it was clear to go, i proceeded through the intersection. all of a sudden i felt myself getting hit. at the time, i didnt know what had happened. i just knew that my head was pounding and that i had been hit. what had happened, was that a white pickup truck, driving without its headlights, had hit me from the right. the truck pushed my beautiful, brand-new car into a van that had been waiting to turn. i cried. i was scared. a paramedic broke the window on the back passenger side, so that she could crawl into my car and support my neck. they thought my neck was broken. then they covered me up with a blanket because not only was it cold, but they had to use the jaws of life to get my door open. then they proceeded to put me into a neck/body brace, put me on a board which eventually went into the ambulance. i rode their with the lady driving the truck. the verdict: i have a guradian angel - i lucked out with several bruises. the lady had to have open heart surgery because she tore her aorta and smashed her elbow. but yea my car is absolutely demolished and im broke as hell. but on the upside, my pops said he can loan me some money to get a new car. the one im lookin at is a 93 (movin up, yea i know) taurus. ah well - life is fun. but im out cuz i gotta paper to bs. later.

...oyea...i gotta ticket for failing to yield...but im fighting it cuz 1.) she didnt have her lights on; 2.) i dont wanna pay the $95 and 3.) it coulda happened to anyone.

Okay, so I had some crazy dreams last night. In one of them, I was interviewing this 3 year old kid actor who was extremely intelligent and articulate. I was interviewing him in his van, and when I was done, his mom dropped me off on Seaway drive. For whatever reason I had a skateboard, a reallly big pencil, and a mini-skateboard. I rode the mini-skateboard, while pushing the regular skateboard ahead of me with the really big pencil. Well, I decided to joust them forward. Stupid idea. The skateboard and pencil went pretty far and made a few cars crash into each other at Norton and Seaway. The kid I interviewed died. I felt bad. The cops were coming, but they didn't repremand me, even though some witness was giving me a scoulding look. Out of nowhere, this car came by and told me to get in, so I did. This guy in the drivers seat was trying to console me, but he was like trying to come on to me at the same time...very weird. I had more dreams, but they're more vague. I think one of them had someone's sister in it, and oddly enough she's coming to visit in a few weeks, as I learned today. Then, when I was heading to class today, there was a car crash on Devon and Winthrop. Even though I got so much sleep in the past 2 days, I'm exhausted. I think I'll take a nap...

I don't know why I'm so exhausted. I went to bed at 4:30 and woke up at 12:30. Then after lunch I went to bed from 3:00 to 6:00. I don't even know where my day went. I got my math done, but barely. I'm still really far behind in my honors reading. Right now I'm taking a break. Thankfully, I didn't have a hangover this morning. I guess different people react differently to different amounts of alcohol. According to some people, I should've been drunk...according to others, it takes more. Hmmm...I still gotta talk to theresa about it. It's bad. I already want to go out drinking again, but I'm going to try and practice some self-control. Everything in moderation. Wow. I just remembered some of my dream(s) I had this morning. In one of them, Jessica Marsh came up to me (on a plane? or somewhere) and gave me a hug. She was really tall and really pregnant. In another one, my suitemate invited me into his room to play nitendo, but I kinda blew him off to use the bathroom? And I think my roomie might've been in one, but I don't remember. He just got back today from hanging out with his parents. Before I go, I forgot to post about the hispanic person at the 'el' last night. We were waiting for the blue line, and he was playing guitar and violin, tap dancing, AND whistling! It was amazing.
