| happy new year |
[01 Jan 2009|10:06pm] |
so here's how my new year started.
a really close friend of mine drove me and some other friends home from wall street last night drunk. and we were too drunk to know he was drunk. and on his way home he got in a terrible accident and now is at ORMC lying in a bed unresponsive.
my brother's girlfriend is back in the hospital this afternoon 5 days after she had her baby. her gallbladder is inflamed and the doctor's can't figure out why. the new baby is at a friend's house until lacey is released from the hospital because my brother has to work because they threatened to fire him.
oh yeah and i had a shitty a day at work. on top of that i feel so guilty and responsible for my friend.
i imagine that the new year can only get better from here :-(

Totally freaked me out...
You Should Play the Accordion
|
You are eccentric, funky, wacky... definitely one of a kind.
People have trouble putting you in any one particular category. You definitely have your own thing going on.
You are a born entertainer. No wonder you'd be perfect as an one man (or one woman) band.
Your musical influences likely cross all genres - and blend together in a very unusual way.
While you are definitely offbeat, you also enjoy tradition and influences from the past.
It's just your style to take an old fashioned instrument like the accordion and make it uniquely yours.
Your dominant personality characteristic: your total inhibition
Your secondary personality characteristic: your interest in obscure activities and subjects

The Break - 1.21 Gigawatts |

So my first night in my new place...with a bed. Awesome.
Expecting a big party when I came home (friends were in town from Orlando and whatnot), I find Matt, Kyle, and my brother all sitting around the living room fuming, sans girlfriends at 12:30 on a Saturday Night. Apparently, some creep from my sister's work threw a party and invited all 3 girls (my sister, Lacey, and Kristin) to his party and specifically told them not to bring their boyfriends. And for some odd reason, the girls obliged him. So they come home TRASHED. Danny and Lacey are in the living room screaming and yelling at each other. Kyle and Kristin are arguing outside and she comes back into the house in tears. Alexx and Matt are doing all right until later tonight when Matt found out she lied, and OHMYGOD got mad at her because she said that she would never lie ever again. And then did. Now they are screaming in the bed room and they are BOTH crying (High School Musical can be heard faintly in the background, thanks Meredith).
So this is the point where I say, "thank God I am single". Well yeah I said it. But I feel left out. Kind of. I think Meredith should come over and we should fight. Anyway, no seriously, REALLY REALLY not so bad being single sometimes.

HELL EXPLAINED BY CHEMISTRY STUDENT
The following is an actual question given on a University of
Washington
chemistry mid-term.
The answer by one student was so "profound" that the professor shared
it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now
have the pleasure of enjoying it as well :
Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic
(absorbs heat)?
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law
(gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some
variant.
One student, however, wrote the following:
First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we
need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate
at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once
a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are
leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the
different religions that exist in the world today.
Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their
religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these
religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion,
we can project that all souls go to Hell.
With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of
souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of
change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order
for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume
of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.
This gives two possibilities:
1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls
enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will
increase until all Hell breaks loose.
2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of
souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.
So which is it?
If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman
year that, "It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you,"
and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then
number two must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic
and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since
Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more
souls and is therefore, extinct......leaving only Heaven, thereby
proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last
night, Teresa kept shouting "Oh my God."
This student received the only "A".

If you have anything in common with the Republican party, it's by sheer chance.
You're a staunch liberal, and nothing is going to change that! |
| You Are 84% Democrat | 
You are a card carrying Democrat, and a pretty far left one at that!
There's no chance anyone would ever mistake you for a Republican. |

The 14 Most Dangerous Places in the World to Visit,
according to Forbes.com (2006):
14. Afghanistan
13. Burundi
12. The Ivory Coast
11. The Congo
10. Georgia
9. Haïti
8. Iraq
7. Liberia
6. Pakistan
5. Papua New Guinea
4. Chechnya
3. Somalia
2. Sudan
1. Zimbabwe
I found it very interesting that no South American countries made the list. I also think it's interesting that there are actually 7 WORSE places in the world right now to go than Iraq.
I'm also sad because I've always wanted to visit Somalia, Papua New Guinea, Haïti, and Georgia. I think PeaceCorps goes to all four places. Maybe one day.

The Rocket Summer - That's so You |

So I'm not going to lie, I've been very sad all day.
Stephanie Georgia Ackley left town today for good to accept a job on Carnival Cruise Lines. I am very happy for her. The sad part is that this will be the first time that I won't be able to see her whenever I want. She was my first friend here at Flagler. The day I met her she invited me to a party. All of my first friends here at Flagler were met through her. In fact, all of my close friends that I still hang out with today were met through her. She was the most fun, upbeat, happy, and positive person that I have ever met at Flagler. She embodied Flagler College to me. When I thought of this school it was practically synonymous with Stephanie. The second week we even knew each other we were already picking out furniture for the house that we would one day live in. That spring we moved into 42 Sanford St. together. This house is also synonymous with her name and face. She is what made it home that I came home to. We always had secrets to tell each other, new music to share, and we always dreamed our dreams together. New Zealand, Scotland, Germany, Africa (our favorite country), we always dreamed out loud and dreamed together.
We went home to each other's houses for the weekend many times. We went to Warped Tours together. We went to San Francisco together.
She is one of two of the 2 people (family excluded) that mean the most to me in this world.
Now her room is empty. I came home from work today and there was no one to play DDR with, no one to watch Degrassi with, and no one to talk to. I know I'll be one of the first people she sees when she's off-duty in 6 months, but it will never be the same. No more sleepovers in our scary house, no more sitting on our porch, no more IMing each other from one floor away. No more power going out on the coldest night of the year and snuggling under 5 blankets miserably ;-)
She's everything I've ever known about this school, and it will definitely be different finishing off my last semester without her. We shared everything together these past 3 years. I will miss her greatly.
So thanks for your help. You shine so bright; you are the star that's in my sky.
