What Am I Doing Here Again?

oh sit
its been quite the interesting weekend. little dolly, oh geez. had a little 6th grade style fun with elise last night.

oliver is back, he's so cute, but it makes me realize that im so much more of a cat person.

yes and eliz i know what you mean about the peer leadership--it makes me crazy too. i dont think anything could describe it better than cliche. and while i love the girls who got picked and they're all my friends and i dont hold it against them, i really dont, it's still very frustrating and discouraging to now try other things like a-school when they dont take chances on people and stick with the obvious.

yes and ive realized how overacheiving people here are, and most of the time its not their fault, it's just the standard here that everything you do must be for college... i think im sort of in the middle...my face doesnt explode when someone talks about their college resume but i do get annoyed after a while. and i wont just give in and play a sport or do some club that i dont want to do just for college. you have to have a sense of yourself and what you like to do. while i do have a sense of my future and do things partly for college and what not, i think some people just take it a little too far. i honestly dont have anyone specific in mind but i see these conversations out there. you're life will go on if you dont get into ap euro or honors english, i promise it will. but generally i dont care if people are obsessive over it. it's not my problem or life and i understand the pressure and expectations. people just have to continue to remember that there are things that are much more important. people lose sight of that.

end of school is approaching and something about it is just very blissful i feel like ive changed a lot...i have a lot to say about this year but im planning on saving that for a nice big chunker post in a couple weeks when school is over. its hard to put into words but i have a lot to say.

it's really bizarre to see Alfonso Soriano in a Ranger's jersey. It's sort of sad. It's actually really sad.

hmm in like 2 weeks finals will be like 2 days away...i think i should start studying. or do my homework or go for a run.

nah.

i'll watch the yankee game or go to the mall instead. why not? you're only 14 once.

much love<33

so excited for fire island next weekend!!!!
FIRE ISLAND IS A PLACE WHERE:
-you cant walk into town without saying hi to at least 3 people you know
-you walk around barefoot everywhere
-you know all the store owners by name
-you have no idea whats going on in the "mainland"
-wearing expensive clothes isnt an issue
-you can recognize the day trippers and first timers
-everyone owns old bikes
-everyone has at least one piece of kenny goodman jewlery
-every one of your friends houses are only a bike ride away
-a wagon or a bike is the most desirable form of transportation
-going to the beach is a daily activity for everyone

I LOVE SUMMERRRRRR

you wouldn't TEASE a girl would you???
hmm since no one has updated maybe i'll get something going...

not much is happening--im so excited i did so well on global. School is being extra-tedious though. I need it to just shhh. I can't decide a lot of things about school, idk how to explain it but it's like hard to figure out if it's been easy, hard, long short, fun, horrible...it's odd.

wow its like excruciatingly irritating for me how much Diana from American Idol NEEDS to die her hair brown. It's like killing me.

kind of upset hamptons has been postponed so many times...Ollie is coming this weekend yay and were babysittig for a couple weeks...niiice.

I'm really getting sick of school. I'm just so incredibly excited for summer. It's gonna be fab.

just 14 days of school + finals...can't wait for all of my spring festivities.

i found this particularly amusing.....
Mattel recently announced the release of Limited-Edition Westchester County
Dolls:

Bedford Barbie: This princess Barbie is only sold at Nordstroms in the
Westchester Mall. She comes with an assortment of Kate Spade handbags, a
Lexus SUV, a long-haired dog named Honey, and a cookie-cutter house.
Available with or without tummy tuck and face lift. Workaholic Ken sold
only in conjunction with "augmented" version.

Bronxville Barbie: This yuppie Barbie comes with your choice of Mercedes
convertible or Hummer H2. Included are her own Starbucks cup, credit card,
and country club membership. Also available for this set are Midge the
European Nanny and Private School Skipper. You won't be able to afford any
of them.

Chappaqua Barbie: This princess Barbie is a replica of Bedford Barbie, but
is sold at Bloomingdales and Nordstroms in the Westechester. She has an
assortment of Louis Vuitton and Coach Bags, and her Lexus SUV comes
complete with "Catch the Greeley Spirit" bumber sticker - specific sports
bumber stickers sold separately. Availible with fingernails and toes are
freshly manicured and pedicured and complimentary flip flops.

Croton Barbie: This doll is made of actual tofu. She has long straight
brown hair, arch- less feet, hairy armpits, no makeup, and Birkenstocks
with white socks. She prefers that you call her
"Willow". She does not want or need a Ken doll,but if you purchase the
optional Subaru wagon, you get a rainbow flag sticker for free.

Dobbs Ferry Barbies: There are actually two models available. One is a
duplicate of the Yorktown Barbie, and the other is a duplicate of the
Croton model.

Mt. Vernon Barbie: This recently paroled Barbie comes with a 9mm handgun, a
Chevy with dark tinted windows, and a methlab kit. This model is only
available after dark and can only be paid for in cash. Preferably small,
untraceable bills. Unless you are a cop, then we don't know what you are
talking about.

New Rochelle Barbie: There are two versions of this Barbie also. One is a
replica of the Scarsdale Barbie...she represents one section of New
Rochelle. The other Barbie is a replica of the Mt. Vernon Barbie who
represents the other side.

Peekskill Barbie: This English-as-a-Second- Language Barbie comes with a
1984 Toyota with expired temporary plates and three baby Barbies' in the
back seat, but no car seats. The optional Ken doll comes with a
paint-bucket lunch pail and is missing three fingers on his left hand.

Rye Barbie: Available only in the Summer, nobody is quite sure if Rye
exists throughout the rest of the year. She comes wearing a tennis outfit
and with her own boat.

Scarsdale Barbie: This is the only Jewish Barbie in the collection. Comes
with a lot of gaudy diamond and gold jewelry, wigs for every occasion, a
BMW 7 series and a Bloomingdale's credit card. Her husband Rabbi Ken is
sold separately.

leased car, as well as a monthly pass for Metro-North.

Verplank Barbie: This pale model comes dressed in her own Wrangler jeans
two sizes too small, a NASCAR shirt, and Tweety Bird tattoo on her
shoulder. She has a six-pack of Coors Light and a Hank Williams, Jr. CD
set. She can spit over 5 feet and kick mullet-haired Ken's ass when she is
drunk. Purchase her pickup truck separately and get a confederate flag
bumper sticker absolutely free.

White Plains Barbie: This doll is quite a bargain as she comes not only
with her own car, but with her own parking space too! The only problem is
that the spot is a 3 mile walk from he $3,000/month studio apartment 4
miles from the train station.

Yonkers Barbie: This gum chewing, brassy-haired Barbie has a pair of her
own high-heeled sandals with one broken heel from the time she chased

Windstar minivan and matching gym outfit. She gets lost easily and has no
full time occupation or secondary education. Traffic-jamming cell phone
included, headset sold separately.
