| Christa's LJ is now friends only! |
[17 Feb 2007|04:44am] |
I have decided to make my LJ friends only. I am not sure the public can handle my emo-ness...and my extreme excitement about certain subjects ;-)
So please add me. I will warn you that I update quite often. Enjoy some of my fav quotes by Brian Andreas~
"This is a wheelbarrow I filled with all my dreams & my favorite clothes & now all I need is someone to help me push it."
"She said she usually cried at least once each day not because she was sad, but because the world was so beautiful and life was so short."
"This is a machine that takes your life & does all the hard parts & leaves you all the parts you enjoy & almost everyone discovers they're not the parts you'd think they were at first glance"
"Time stands still best in moments that look suspiciously like ordinary life."

eventually I will be writing a letter post before I leave but for now I thought I would at least say that I am in Baldwin 326 and I believe I am living with Melanies old roommate. Interesting.

today was really awful and draining for me. I might write about it tomorrow, we will see. short story- i went to my former university and that was heavy (that is the best word to describe it) and while I was in the city I also said good-bye to my niece and nephew and had an awkward meeting with my sister.
tonight katie called me and we had a great convo. she really lifted my spirits up. i really can't say this enough: I am soooo grateful for my friends, I am almost sure I wouldn't be alive right now if it wasn't for the people that always seem to come through for me...sap

my turtle Herbert died today. I was kind of expecting it, he has been getting weak for awhile now. I guess at least I don't have to haul him back to Drew.
36 days til Drew...can't wait

I'm taking a page out of Andrea's book...
Even though this year has probably been the hardest in my life, I still have a lot to be thankful for, I am lucky to be alive and Thanksgiving helps me remember that people DO care about me. So here it goes:
I'm thankful/Thanks:
*for my sight
*for family members who support me fully no matter what I choose and want me to be happy
*for healthy children
*for my friend who loved me enough to tell me to get help, even if we don’t speak much anymore
*for my sister, for growing closer and keeping me floating
*for wonders
*for the little things
*for my bus buddies
*for Stuart, I’m so glad you’re alive
*for cooking in my own kitchen
*for the bus
*for words of encouragement
*for allowing me to be myself
*for caring enough to keep in touch, every time I hear from you my day is 50x better
*for keeping me alive
*for giving me something to come back for
*for opening your arms to me
*that this semester is almost over
*for providing a place where I feel welcome
*for a creative outlet
*for understanding
*for seeming to generally care, even if I only come in for a soda or chips
*for crying when you saw me
*for hugs
*for considering me your queen fag hag, it makes me proud
*for my non-sexual soul mate, I will never find anyone else like you, except maybe with my sexual soul mate
*for the cathartic melodies and harmonies and lyrics
*the strength to survive, even though I don’t want to sometimes
*you’re why I hope

The Flowers - Regina Spektor |

10 years ago: Hmm...I was nine...in 4th grade...in about a month I would find out my sister was pregnant and was moving out (she was 18). My teacher was the fabulous Mrs. Grabow. I had a strong group of girl friends...hmmm...i was happy
5 years ago: I was in ninth grade. I joined FCCLA this year...along with the other 20 things I was in...I had about 4 really close friends in my group...my friend Seng moved to my school and I had a big crush on him...haha
1 year ago: One year ago I had just started Drew but I already loved it. My classes were going okay and my friends were great...I know I was a lot happier than I am now.
Tomorrow: I have a french exam and then I am going home to spend the weekend with the whole immediate family one last time before my brother leaves again for Europe (this time he is teaching for a year in Spain)
5 Snacks I Enjoy: cheese, corn bread, chips, pop, sweet oatmeal
1 Band/Artist that i know the lyrics to most of their songs: All-American Rejects...I think I know all of them...maybe Dashboard...
5 things i would do with 1,000,000,000: I would return to Drew and and save a bit of it just in case I really need it. I would give my sister money because she needs it more than I do. I would donate a lot of it to my high school district which is falling apart due to lack of funding. The rest of the money would go towards charity work in some of the most poverty stricken countries...oxfam, Human Rights Watch or Amnesty International perhaps...who knows...but I want it to go to someone who really needs it.
5 Places i would like to run away to: drew, India, France, UK, and Germany
5 bad habits i have: procrastinating, obsessing over things that I don't always have much control over, messiness, rambling, getting overemotional
5 things i like doing: listening to music, reading, watching movies, dancing, being with close friends
5 things i will never wear: cowboy boots, animal print, mini-mini skirt, spandex, up-turned collar
5 tv shows i like: Sex and the City, Judging Amy, Crossing Jordan, Friends, Six Degrees (I only saw the first episode...but its not so bad so far)
5 People i'd like to meet: i really don't know...
5 biggest joys at the moment: sleeping, working out with my sister, walking alone, getting email from friends, umm...not many joys at the moment I guess...haha
5 favorite toys: laptop, Eeyore, my MuVo, my cell, my pillow(I couldn't think of a last one...haha)
consider yourself tagged if anyone is interesting in doing this...but yeah...

Okay so this weekend I watched the LOTR trilogy again and hello! I never noticed before how gay it is, I was like...come on! Just make out already...which made me decide to do some research and I found this and I was so shocked/almost fell off my bed laughing it is so ridic...check it out:
I mean, do people like this exist....seriously? What is WRONG with people. This article is so un-PC for its references to race, homosexulaity, Judiasm....I was so shocked....and people this is what really turns me away from organized religion....and I love the fact that True Christians is a copyrighted...haha....anyways...give me your opinions on this...I know it is long....but it is seriously worth the time (or really NOT worth the time if you think about it) if you like seeing the complete ignorance of people....goodness.....\
Oh and also, whenever I see Eowyn I think of Elysse....its uncanny....anyways....yeah

I am considering myself tagged by Sproffee...because I am bored and want to do this:
1. I like listening to Christmas music when its not Christmas (especially if its Christmas music from Love Actually)
2. I loves Chai tea....nummies
3. I love photography...especially black and whites....although I am not that great at it I would love to capture one of those *moments*, like the shot from VJ Day where the two people are kissing or the guys in NYC eating lunch on a beam....that everyone knows and it seems to capture the very essence of life...
4. Although I am very messy I could organize stuff all day
5. I get obsessed with things easily and tend to do that thing in a long streak, like reading 7 books in 7 days or scrapbooking for 5 whole days but then never finishing....
6. I would probably be perfectly happy being a recluse for a year...as long as I have books....and probably the internet...haha...is that still reclusive then???
tomorrow, once again, I will get my ass kicked in French...and then I have to somehow make it across campus in 15 minutes...if the prof lets us out in time...oh my...

Today was my first day of classes. French is going to kick my ass....and I have it EVERY day. Environmental Issues I think will be a great class. Being a transfer student is worse than being a freshman (which I actually liked). I am going to make no friends, and I don't really want to. I don't even want to put an effort into it. I am not going to be here next semester anyways. I have already decided that. I don't know what I am doing, but not staying here. Its just not me. I will give it time, but I am not expecting much.
I miss Drew so much. Today is Lisa's birthday and i wanted more than anything just to be there so I could give her a big hug and sit on my bunk and laugh with her. How sweet is she? This is her facebook about me:
"...I was exactly what mothers had warned their sons against..."-Marge Piercy
In other news...I miss my Christa :)
And also? The facebook facelift? What the hell is up with that? granted some things are cool but I don't like the fact that it lists ended relationships and who friended who....first one because break-ups are bad enough without facebook listing it on all your friends sites and also who cares who is friends with who??
Anyways....I am sad.

Jaws in the background |
] |
Okay- So today i registered for classes. I ended up with classes I liked but i did have a to make a few changes. Here is a quick run-through of my classes:
Sociology of Gender
3rd year French
Repression and Democracy Around the World
Environmental Issues and Solutions
and last but not least:
The campus is a lot prettier than I thought, also soooo big. its so odd to have classes in 6 different buildings, instead of 1...or 2.
I saw my apartment last night. Its okay, my room is small but I am glad I have a kitchen so I can make my own food, especially now that I don't eat meat. I also met two of my roommates. I have a feeling they don't really like me...that I am an intruder into their apartment of friends....meh. I will stay out of their way. I don't think I can stay here three years. Who knows, maybe I will end up loving it, I should at least try.
I am going to turn into the female version of greasy-hair-boy/shuffle-boy/neckbeard.
I hate being the odd one out. Like right now I am watching a movie with two couples. I'm not really all that jealous, because although a relationship would be nice I am not craving one, I just feel awkward. At least we are watching Jaws and not like The Notebook or something...haha.
Classes start in a little over a week, I have soooooo many books to get, its going to cost me a fortune. I am also having financial aid issues, once again. I thought if I went to a school with a tuition of 5,000 I wouldn't have this problem...but alas.
