I just bought my ticket to Columbus for the 29th. Only $66, what a deal. I am going to be spending a week-ish with Jim and his family and I am so excited already even though it's a month away. This break is too long! I need a job. I am going to go to Hallmark today, my mom said they had openings. I looked at a bunch of other places, namely TD Bank and Borders. I applied online to them, and my oh my online applications take forever. Geesh. 

It's a rainy day today. I woke up to some snow and with out any surprise, it melted within an hour or two. 

I started reading House of Leaves again, and I spent some time on that endeavor this morning, and believe me, it is quite the project to read this book. Amazing none-the-less.

Yesterday I went to Belmar with Jenni, Dale, Alex and Kyle. We met Alex there and went to Kaya's Kitchen and at some really delicious vegan foods. Afterwards we headed to the beach and stuck our toes in the freezing sand and to my un-delight, felt the water, which was frigid. It was great to be at the beach again, what a nice place. I am just glad that I am not there in the windy, cold rain today! After the beach we went to Mark's. We ate a tofurkey, vegan stuffing, cranberry, vegan jell-o thanksgiving dinner and played Scatagories for a few hours. That was so much fun. We ended up laughing for a very long time due to two words that Jenni said and I said louder. HA! We just hung out for a while and laughed some more. Eventually we got a call from Pat, who had just left Mark's, and he said that his car was unable to start at Wawa. We piled in the car and drove over there. Alex couldn't do anything to start it so we left and after they dropped me off I realized that I had left my phone next to Jenni in Mark's car and they had to turn around and bring it back, I am quite thankful.

Things to look forward to:  

-Going to the movies today with Jenni, Dennis and Marc. Don't really look forward to spending the money but hey, I haven't been to the movies in quite some time and this rainy day calls for a few laughs!

-Erik Peterson, Spoonboy and Emilyn Brodsky this Friday in Philly!!

-Winterfest, December 20th!

-Christmas time!

-29th!

random thanksgiving and beach day photos!

I'm already looking up flights to go back to Ohio at the end of December and to Thailand this summer. Prices have gone way down, now is the time to book! Woo!

Today we watched White Oleander and Lindsay and I are about to watch Wal-E. Lots of movies and shows, but I don't mind. Everyone will be home soon enough and adventures will begin!

A few days into break and I have to say I have been getting a little bored already...But alas, things I have done so far. 

-Drove many hours through traffic and snow storms with Maggie and a couple of years older version on Maggie (hehe). 

-Watched Free Willy and Flicka at Jenni's house with a lot of friends whom I love dearly.

-Video chatted with Kuba earlier this morning. I had just woke up and he had to leave for his dinner time after about 20 minutes. haha!

-Video chatted with Jim until the week hours of the morning and again tonight.

-Hung out. Watched Arrested Development.

-Today I went to Jenni's at 3 and we watched Airborne and 28 Days Later and ate good food and laughed at youtube videos ZOMBIES AHHHHHHHHH.

-Drove in my dad's van. Hopefully he's going to find a car for me soon. I think he went and looked for one today.

-Went to a Thanksgiving dinner at my grandparents house and had apple pie that was accidentally vegan! What whatttttt.

Those are out of order, I just wrote them as they came to me. 

I am really looking forward to the end of the week when a lot of my friends will be home from school.

I have a job interview at UPS tomorrow morning at 10 am. If that goes well I will be working for them as much as possible and making money for Jim's and my trip this summer :)

Sleep time now.

an extension on Lindsay's post about our kitten...

lots of pictures of pumpkin and grandpa!

I went home to NJ for the weekend. I flew from Columbus to Cleveland to Philadelphia and arrived in the afternoon on Friday. Me, Lindsay and Kyle walked around and met up with Mike at Logan Square. We played in the fountain a bit and took pictures.

After walking back we hung out for a bit, went to Kingdom (of course) and went to South Street to see The Mountain Goats. Kaki King played with him and she was awesome. The stupid place wouldn't let me bring my camera in, it was, "too big." That's what she said. But anyway, I left it with some guy at the ticket stand. That made me super upset and I was worried about it for quite some time. That would be a pretty penny to have disappear. Hmm so we rode back after the show which was by the way, absolutely amazing. It was a beautiful night and the ride back was sweet.

In the morning I drove to Flemington with Mollie and Bryan and was home with Lindsay and the cat for quite a while before my family arrived home. The kitten is incredibly cute and there will be a ton of pictures up of it as soon as possible.

Saturday night was girls night. Jenni came over and along with her, Lindsay and Shanna, I drove (for the first time in 2 months!) with everyone to basil where we got supplies for nachos. They were perfect. Blunder and Gabbie and Mollie came over and we watched Bridget Jones 1 and 2 for old times sake. We ate things that are bad but good but bad but really really good.

In the morning my grandparents came over without knowing that I was there and they were pretty surprised, my grandma shouted at me..."you!" Haha. My mom made some vegan french toast as a treat for us and then some other breakfasty things. We ate and hung out and took many photos and it was great to be home. It semi felt like I'd never left. I can't believe how much has happened to change my life in the past 2 months. Great, great things.

My parents drove me to Philly and as of right now I am sitting in 707. Jesse just yelled down to me, "want to hear me pee!?" so now he is peeing in the toilet and the train clock is going off at the same time.

Now many people have arrived and I was talking to Jim and eating pasta and then having a bite of ice cream! Dale is hopefully driving me to the airport early morning tomorrow and then I go back to Cleveland and then to Columbus and then Max is picking me up from the airport late in the night. After then I am scheming, my plan will unfold at some point in the week. I really really really really hope so at least.

Pictures will follow as soon as I have enough room to upload more.

vegan lunch, court street, athens critical maask!
