List seven songs you are into right now. Whatever the genre, whether or not there are lyrics, or even if they're no good, they must be songs you are presently enjoying. Post these instructions in your LiveJournal along with your seven songs. Then tag seven other people to see what they're listening to. <----------Well, since I don't know of anyone else who has a blog, I cannot "tag" anyone else...I'm just doing this to humor Alisa :)

1. "Green Eyes" by Coldplay
2. "You're My Best Friend" by Queen, hence the myspace profile song...
3. "...And Then We Kissed" by the intelligent Britney Spears
4. "Unpredictable" by Jamie Foxx
5. "I'm Alright" by Kenny Loggins...I just watched Caddyshack.
6. "Breathe (2 a.m.)" by Anna Nalick
7. "Crazy Game of Poker" by OAR

What a diverse selection....

My flight for Cancun leaves in 6 hours...so, I don't think I'm going to bed.

I'll be back next Sunday, bitches...stay away hurricanes!

NYC was everything I expected, plus more. I didn't think I could have so much fun. I love my girls so much. I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. And I'm so glad we decided to drive, just for the pure fact that we got to spend extra time together. We jammed to some good tunes, courtesy of my iPod. We also discovered that we HATE PA (please pronounce it Pa, like Papa). No offense, but the people we encountered there were idiots. Both Subways we stopped at didn't know how to make sandwiches correctly and each sandwich from both Subways had a funky taste. So, if ever in PA, do not eat Subway. Also, I annoyed Tricia when she was on the phone with her BF by driving on the rumble strips. Muwahahahaha! So, we got there a little behind schedule because the traffic into the city was crazy and we ended up leaving Ohio about an hour later than planned because we had to run misc errands before we left. Anyway, I started getting stressed about driving when we hit The Oranges/Newark in Jersey since I've driven there many times before and that is usually where I start to get stressed out because Jersey traffic sucks too. I really thought I was going to hypervenilate. Getting 10 lanes of traffic to merge into the Lincoln Tunnel was definitely the worst though. But, I did it like a champ and I knew where I was after we got out of the tunnel so it was cool. Then, I was stressed about the room situation. Originally, it was just going to be me and Katie so we only bid for a 2 person room on priceline.com. But then Tricia and Lauren decided to come, so I called the hotel MONTHS ago and asked them to upgrade us but the person I talked to wasn't any help at all and couldn't even tell us if we lucked out and got a 4 person room instead, which apparently happens because I read reviews....anyway, they were able to upgrade us and we never had a problem sneaking them into our room. It was great. We got a 3 star hotel one block from Times Square for $94 per person for 3 nights...you can't beat that. I love cheating the system!....to be continued....

(I'll update more later cause this is going to take me a while....and I feel like shit. NYC kicked my ass...)

I cannot believe we only have 6 days before NYC!! I cannot wait. Although, I have been having major anxiety about this trip. I guess I just want it to run as smoothly as possible. We are going on the Sex and the City tour, which was one of the main reasons for going. I bought a new dress and I plan on buying another one. Dressing up is manditory. And the weather is supposed to be really awesome. Oh, its just going to be so great. This is going to make me want to live there even more. Maybe I should look for a job while I'm there...

Grey's Anatomy is the best show ever. Although I started crying tonight at the end when Dr. Burke got shot. I swear, that show drives me crazy. But, in a good way.

I have nothing else to say right now. I'm tired and going to bed.

I dropped my phone in the toilet yesterday. I really cannot believe it did that. Deze, my friend from work woke me up and was text messaging me some good gossip about people getting fired so I took it into the bathroom with me...that was a huge mistake. I should have known better cause I've almost dropped it in the toilet before. So, I am phoneless. I was hopeful that it would dry out and work again, because I dropped Ryan's phone in a mixed drink (What are the chances that a phone would drop directly into a small cup? Slim to none, but it happened to me, of course!) and he let it dry out and it worked fine the next day. I should have known mine was doomed from the beginning cause the only thing that was messed up on Ryan's phone was the screen. The phone still worked fine. My poor phone made pathetic buzzing sounds, then it died. The lights on the keypad were still working, but only for a couple of minutes, then they faded away. So, I think I'm going to get a new phone today. I want a Razor! I hated that dumb phone of mine anyway, although I was just getting used to it and now I don't have any of my numbers...I mean, I know a couple of them...

Then, I was mowing my lawn yesterday and my friend Jason came over to see me. He used to live at the party house in Doylestown with Josh and I haven't seen or talked to him for a long time. He is moving to NC and he came to tell me goodbye. I almost cried. I knew he was moving, but I didn't know when and it was almost like, "Bye, I'm never going to see you again." It was really sad. I feel awful cause I've been a really shitty friend to him. We were best buds for a couple of years and then he and Josh moved out of that house and I lost touch with him. I didn't keep in contact with him and I took his friendship and his proximity for granted and now he is going to be 9 hours away and I'll probably never see him again. And, I thought he was mad at me, which is one of the reasons I didn't call him (it's a stupid reason, but once Jason makes up his mind about something or someone, good luck trying to change it) but I'm glad he isn't and he came to say goodbye. It brought some closure to the situation, I guess...but, I just wish I would have gone to him so it could have been resolved sooner. I wasted a year not being friends with him, all because I didn't want to get involved in a possible confrontation with him. Uhh, I'm really upset at myself for this one...

Then, I went to the Sweet Shop, which is closing this week. I am so sad! Even though I don't work there anymore, its pretty much the only gathering place in town to meet up with people and hang out and I feel bad for Bernadette, who was my boss there. She LOVES everything about that place and she's put so much money into it and now its going to be sold...there are dumb politics behind it and I feel bad for her. But, anyway, at the Sweet Shop, I saw my old pal Rachael, who I haven't seen in over a year. She is still friends with Jill, but we never do anything all together and I miss seeing her. I told her that we should all get together sometime soon to catch up.

Then Tom called...oh, I miss him so much! There are so many inside jokes that I've forgotten about and we were laughing about that...he talked to Nate for a long time and he's coming home soon. I can't wait! But, then he's going to Germany for a couple of years so maybe I'll finally have a reason to go out there to visit the many people I know that live in Germany.

I was supposed to go out to dinner to Ken Stewart's with Kelli but she hasn't called me back...so, I think I'll go up to Fairlawn to get a new phone and maybe go to Sand Run to walk...

I am the most boring individual in the world. It's a Saturday night, and I'm perfectly content with just staying at home and doing NOTHING. There is something wrong with me. I used to loathe staying home on a weekend night. Now that is the norm and I'm just like, whatever. I seriously will not do anything anymore unless someone calls me. Which is why I will probably never talk to my Doylestown friends....EVER. Because, they won't call me and I won't call them. Not because I don't want to hang out with them, but because I am just too lazy to find out if something is going on. And, nowadays, I have zero spontaneity. Things need to be planned at least a day in advance, maybe more. I have really mellowed out but, I guess that's ok...cause once I get a job, I have to grow-up for real and with my current personality, that won't be too hard. If I was still partying like a rockstar, finding a real job and being an adult would be a rude awakening.

I got my bonus check from Sterling. I wish it would have been the max bonus, but I should not complain cause its still money, which will come in handy for this NYC trip.

I started my "I only have 4 weeks to get my ass in shape before NYC so I can't F around" diet today. I NEED to be serious about this. I walked/ran at Sand Run for 1 hr and 15 mins today. I ran for about 5 of those minutes and I walked the murderous hiking trail for about 35 minutes. That hiking trail is a killer, man. You just go up and down these steep ass hills...I really thought my legs were going to give out...that's how steep these hills were. And I'm not in THAT bad of shape...so, it was pretty rough. But, I'm going to continue walking that trail and then adding mileage to the flat pathway that runs along the road...hopefully that will help me with my running too, cause I really want to run in the Akron Marathon...although I'm not sure that's going to happen, I still want to get back in running shape cause its a great, fast way to exercise. So, I guess I'll start training for that during the summer.

Now I'm going to do some lifting because my arms are disgusting.

It's been a while. I just haven't been in the mood to update this thing. Tonight, I went out with Tricia, Katie and Lauren to Fuel. It was a good time, although it was not a typical Thursday night. I didn't plan on drinking a lot anyway, then I started to feel sick, so Tricia, Katie and I drove to Taco Bell and they ate and I watched them. We sat in the parking lot at Fir Hill, jammed to Madonna and took stupid pictures of ourselves. It was fun. I love those girls. Lauren included....speaking of Laurenzo....she is coming with us to NYC!! Now I will have all of my favorite girls with me in my most favorite place in the world! Except for my sister, but its close enough. We are going to have so much fun. Lauren and I have decided to go on a major diet so we look hot. I think I can do it. It's only 4 weeks. I am going to work out as much as possible and eat very healthy. Plus, we are going to Cancun June 18-24 or something like that so I need to look good for that too.

So, I really have nothing else worthwhile to say. I have tomorrow off...I don't know what I am going to do with myself. I should go up to Sterling to get my bonus check (yippee!) and hike at Sand Run and kill myself, but I do not want to drive up there if I don't have to. Gas is too expensive...And I swore that I wouldn't pay $2 a gallon if it ever came to that...now it's almost $3...what the hell is going on?!?!?

I am going out to eat tonight at the OG with Jill. I'm excited. I love the fact that we can go for months or, in our case, a year without talking and we will continue right where we left off. But, hopefully we are done with that crap and we can continue to be friends, always.

I should probably work out for a little bit. Yeah, I need to get on that....like right now. I am so freaking sore from my walking excursion yesterday, but I need to keep it up. I went walking with my mom today for a half hour. Another motivation for me is the fact that we are (probably) going somewhere "exotic" for vacation this year...exotic was my mom's word, not mine. My aunt, uncle and cousin are not coming with us this year, so my mom wants to go to Punta Cana or Mexico...so, I need to look good, seeing as though I didn't really like the way I looked when I was in Cancun. I need to make up for that this time around.

Ok, I'm going to suffer on the elliptical machine...

I guess I'll say something, because I'm sure Katie is chomping at the bit.

I really haven't been up to much lately. I highlighted my hair last Friday night and I think it looks nice. I was going to wait and get it professionally done before my NYC trip, but I just couldn't stand it anymore. So, now I have to slop on the self tanner cause I look like a washed out ghost with this blonde hair and pale ass skin. And, I've made a decision that I am not tanning anymore. I went this whole winter without tanning and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I've been tanning every winter since I was 17 and I thought that was bad and I don't want to get skin cancer or look like a leather face.

So, speaking of NYC...I'm so freaking excited for this trip. I look in my tour guide book everyday and find new things that I want to do. It's getting so close...which is good and bad. I really want to get in better shape before I go so I can wear some cute clothes, but there is only like 6 weeks left, so I'm going to have to work my ass off...literally. I did walk 4 miles at Sand Run today and I nearly passed out. I attempted to run but that only lasted about 1/4 mile. And that makes me very...irritated. Last summer, I could run 3 of those 4 miles. And what was more pathetic was watching people who are much older than me sprint right past me. And I was about ready to die from just walking. So sad. But, now that it is nice outside, it makes me want to exercise more so hopefully I can get back into the swing of things. I'm definitely going to try to get outside tomorrow as well...or at least workout on the eliptical machine for 30 minutes...

Well, I am not dying, but I did diagnose myself correctly. But, my meds are making me feel better. This came at the perfect time, since I have 3 days off in a row. I've just been loungin around the house and I feel like such a worthless human being. But, I did clean out my car today, so I was somewhat productive.

It was so nice out today! I opened up the windows in my house and it felt so great. I love springtime! Hopefully it will stay nice and winter is gone for good. I didn't enjoy winter that much this year because I only went skiing twice and I never went sled riding, which is something I love to do :( Oh well, I enjoy summer so much more. I wish I would have felt better on Monday, or I would have gone to Sand Run to walk or attempt to run.

Ok, I thought I had more interesting things to say, but I guess not.

I think I have UTI...or a bladder infection to common folk, like myself. My sister and Kathryn have to get all technical on my ass and give me the correct medical definition. But, I've also been having back pain, and Katie said this could be a kidney infection, which is worse. So, I'm going to call the doctor tomorrow and try to schedule an appointment asap. Or, I could just be making this all up....but something's not right. Katie said, "What if you're dying?" then she felt bad. I told her that she WILL feel bad tomorrow, after the doctor really does tell me I'm dying....
