lieing is not good.
it may get you off the hook for a little while
but in the end you always get caught!

RIP new phone
So today I was so excited because I got a new phone. I got one of the new chocolates (a dark blue one). I was trying to clean out a stain that was on the seat in the my car and the phone dropped out of my pocket and into the sewer! At this point I was in such shock I didnt know what to do. Supposidly they are mailing me a new one on wed. so I have to be without a phone for a few days...like is this a joke.

good
So I went to Friendly's tonight for dinner. The food there is very good. I ate chicken fingers and french fries with honey mustard and ranch. The place was packed when i got there. Also, dont you hate when waitresses dont acknowledge you? we must have been sitting there for 20 min before she even took our drink orders. At least say ill be right with you or something. So other than the service, the food was good.

10 reasons to date
10) Dating requires practice, hooking up doesn't.
Obviously, hooking up doesn't require too much practice- that's why you can do it after drinking too much. You might be thinking to yourself, 'to me this would make hooking up BETTER than dating.' But at some point, if you want to find a life partner (THE ONE), practice dating is a necessary preliminary stage. Of course, there are lots of exceptions to this- many go straight from the hook up to marriage- especially in Vegas, a la Britney Spears!
So assuming you need to date at some point in your lives, why does it require practice? Because you are a different person as a dating partner than you are in any other relationship; and what you value in your partner is different from what you value in other relationships.
Here’s an analogy- many of you will find out that what makes an ideal friend has little to do with what makes an ideal roommate- that some of your best friends make lousy roommates- because certain qualities, like fiscal irresponsibility, don't matter much in friendship, but matter a lot in a roommate. You will also discover you have qualities you didn't realize- for instance, you may be very social, but prefer a lot of privacy at home. You begin to learn more about who you are and what you value only in the context of different relationships – and it's the same with dating.
9) Dating is less ambiguous.
Again, it probably seems like the opposite is true, because in the hook up everything is all on the table- ‘I want you, you want me- let’s go!’ But when you hook up with someone, you really have no idea how they really feel about you. One student said his standard for a hook up is he won't hook up with someone drunker than himself; and this is probably not the girl he would bring home to meet mom.
And often after a hook up you are left with the nagging question, does he/she actually like me? Could this go anywhere? Even after ten Saturdays in a row- you’re still no closer to knowing the answer. With dating, it’s straightforward- a person agrees to a date is because they want to get to know you better.
8) Dating is empowering for a woman?
It’s often said that it’s empowering for a woman to be able to hook up- to own her sexuality. Is this really what’s going on? When you hook up with someone, you encourage another to regard you as an object for immediate pleasure- (as far as I know, this is not a tenet of the feminist movement). While it may be fine with you to be regarded as an object- what may be really empowering to you, is knowing that you too regard him/her as an object- using someone else for your pleasure and maybe self-worth? Is this empowering or self-destructive? When you date someone, you are demanding that he/she get to know YOU- to know your political views, your family history, your talents, your hobbies; you’ve raised the bar substantially! Bringing us to the next point-
7) Dating is better than hooking up because using someone, and being used, is never cool.
6) You shouldn't be ashamed of your feelings.
When you hook up, you make a tacit agreement to share yourself sexually without demanding anything emotionally from your partner. So if you develop feelings for someone you are hooking up with, which is both natural and maybe even inevitable, and are upset when the person you are hooking up with hooks up with someone else or ignores you at a party, it feels as if you’ve done something wrong for getting emotionally invested- Where did we learn that it’s good not to care about sharing our bodies with someone who is indifferent, but bad to have feelings for someone with whom we share our body
5) Dating results in less emotional energy/fallout.
Because you don't get emotionally entangled in a hook up (or so they say), and there isn't any danger of rejection, it seems there should be no fear of being hurt. However, some of the greatest emotional wounds inflicted are the result of hooking up- pregnancy and even abortion, contracting an STD (herpes and gonorrhea are contracted as easily from oral sex as from intercourse) or date rape- which occurs with alarming frequency. How devastating to have to endure these things, and how much worse as a result of being with someone who doesn’t care about you? You really can get over a broken heart; but herpes lasts forever. To my next point-
4) With dating, the worst thing you will go home with is a doggie bag.
3) The biggest Players don't date!
What garlic is to vampires, patience and chastity are to Players. People who thrive on the hook up are usually players (it’s the emotional detachment that makes this easy). But very few players will stick around with someone who makes it clear that sex isn't an easy given. While many may not accept this kind of countercultural idea, you will weed out the ones that will simply waste your time and always break your heart. Don’t underestimate the people who care about you; more people than you could imagine will be happy and willing to respect your boundaries (after all, knowing who you are and what you want is incredibly attractive!) Meeting your needs and showing you respect is never a chore for someone who really cares about you. NEVER.
2) You might go for a walk on a date, but not a Walk of Shame!
1) "Feeling someone” right away, doesn't have to mean feeling someone right away.

Help is on the way
I would be very interested in sending care packages to soldiers or marines as a class. I think that would be a really nice gesture in letting them know that we appreciate everything they are doing for us over in Iraq.
ohh and p.s. i will not be willing to babysit your dogs in the summer mrs.krieger, i have never been a big fan of dogs=)

i've given up.
I'm startng to give up hope on hearing back from colleges. I want to go to Albany more than anything and they havent sent me anything yet. Im so nervous and anxious i just want to know. I check the mailbox everyday to see if anything has come and its the same thing everyday...
far far awayy
If i could go anywhere in the world right now, i would definitely go to italy! i've always wanted to go to Italy and i think it would be beautiful there. My whole family is italian and it would be neat to see how we have similar traditions. I heard from other people that have gone to Italy that it is just simply breathtaking.

My Dream Job
My dream job is to become famous but that would never ever happen. I have currently decided that i want to be a social worker for abused children. I want to actually go in to the homes and assess their living conditions. I dont know how any adult could lay a hand on a child, but its just wrong. I want to be there to make these children feel safe and get out of these dangerous situations.

Girls...like seriously
girls in general make me mad. most of them are fake and the other half are just annoying. like girls get called a slut because they have a lot of guy friends but they just dont want to deal with stupid drama. like they get mad at you if you like have other friends besides just that person...for real like lets all just grow up and get a long. ha the day that happens=)
theres never a right time to say goodbye
So over the past few days i was in Rome, NY at my great grandmothers funeral/wake...i got to see a lot of family members on my moms side that i havent seen in a while. Its to bad the only way for us to all see eachother is over something so sad. I had to do a reading at the funeral, i was pretty nervous but i pulled through...I figured if my 11 year old cousin could do one so could I. Hope i didnt miss anything too exciting while i was gone!

college is unfair.
College education...every student wants one after they are out of high school. Dont you ever wish colleges would base their decisions on a little more than what they read off a paper? I sure do. For me academics have never come easy, I have never been a good test-taker. I understand you need decent grades to get into the college you want but shouldnt they learn a little more about you rather than just what they are reading off your paper...
