out of the three trips home, this weekend was by far the BEST! lets start from the beginning. my aunt picked me up tuesday night. she lives in silver spring, md. which is about 20 minutes away. my cousin and i just chilled and watched a "Dan in Real Life. it was GREAT, if u like "The Family Stone" you'll really like it. it was great, i would buy it on DVD! sooo, we went to sleep around 3am (up talking and doing girl stuff lol) ... so we had to wake up at 6:15 ish so that we could leave for new york. i couldn't wait because i really wanted to go home (duh!). the trip took about 5 hrs, but i slept most of the way, so it was good. when i got home, only my little brother was there, along with about 6 workers who were putting in new windows. it was a bit startling lol. after a while my cousin and aunt left, and my mom came home and shortly after, my dad came home too. then, i went to go get my hair done as i was in desperate neeeed! lol. since my moms friend lives next to the hair salon, i visited her for a bit and we talked about why she voted for mccain... very interesting. i was shocked that she had some decent points. anyhoo, i left there and went to go get my eyebrows done, of COURSE i got burned. ugh! once that was done, i got my dad a birthday card and my family and i went out to dinner. we went to majors steak house and it was (surprisingly) very good. right after that, i went into huntington village to meet up with my friends and subsequently saw everyone else who attends or once attended harborfields high school. we all realized that where we live might be the most boring place ever, in history. we spent about an hour trying to figure out what to do that wouldn't cost an arm and a leg. so we all just piled up in my car and drove around the village blasting spice girls and christina aguilera. it was really entertaining. then some more friends came and we hung out for a bit. then we went to wendy's to get some stuff from the value menu lol. we all had to pee so we went to pathmark to use their bathroom. ensuite, we went back to the village and everyone parted ways. i really enjoyed that night because we had fun without drugs, alcohol, or especially, my vice, cigarettes.
this brings us to thursday. the first thing i did was go for a run because i didn't want to experience too much guilt. i was really proud of myself for doing that. after that, i showered, went to the deli, and visited kaitlin. it was sooo lovely seeing her and talk to her. she is one of my few friends that knows soo much history about me and vice versa. it was really great seeing her ; )... so when i left kaitlin's, i went back home and tried to avoid helping my mom. i just HATE setting up for holiday gatherings at my house. i don't know why, its like, a childhood thing. around 2 my moms friend, the one that was mentioned before, came over with her two kids and helped my mom set up. somewhere in there, i took a nap..lol. around 4:30 my family started showing up. i was happy for that because i couldn't wait to eat the fooood!!!! it just smelled so good! i was happy to see my cousins, aunts, uncle, grandma etc. i really love my family. they're pretty funny people. i also met the newest addition to our family... little cousin TJ!! he was sooo freaking adorable! hes 10 months old, although he looks like a toddler already. he was the most mild mannered baby i've ever seen in my life. he came to the house sleeping, smiled, laughed, and ate all night, then left quietly. a few random screams of excitement, but no crying at all. he even liked princess, the hyperactive dog. lol. it was the cutest thing i've ever seen. he was in his walker and princess was sitting next to him and he actually reached out and pulled on her ear. i don't think princess liked that... but it was funny as HELL! lol. i love that kid. the first time i saw him, he was still in the womb, so it was really like meeting him for the first time. any baby that doesn't cry in my arms is cool with me! so everyone left, minus my cousin, and i got ready for bed. then my bestie called and said he wanted to visit me really quick. i was super stoked and told him to come over. i met his friend and we reminisced about the good ol' days in jack and jill and our good memories from middle school and high school. i love that kid. then i slipped into a coma. this brings us to friday...
because i am broke, there was not a whole lot of black friday shopping going on in my life. i wanted to make some gifts, so i bought some yarn so that i could knit some hats, scarves, and things of that nature. lol. michael's was CRAZY! people were losing their minds. i spent about 30 bucks in that store and i know i'll be able to make a couple of cute gifts for friends and family. being crafty is such a plus! then my cousin, mother, and i went to macy's because i needed new bras... my first REAL bras since surgery!! i was sooo excited! i got one more 'functional' bra for everyday wear... but its still really cute. the other one is ADORABLE. its black and tan with lace and ribbons and bows and everything girly i could ever ask for! FINALLLLLY!!! a cute bra! it was pretty exciting. i felt like a real girl! :) i am still beaming about that! when we got home, we all watched "27 Dresses"... i was reluctant, but it was actually really good! i am always reluctant when it comes to wedding movies, they just annoy me. but this was definitely a good one. **I ENDORSE THIS MOVIE** lol... then i drove my cousin back to queens and we hung out for a bit (i knitted a little too) and we watched true life. it was great. then, i left her house and went to my brothers house. he was having a little get together for me to meet some of his friends. they were all really cool. i liked all of them actually. i got semi-drunk, but nothing too bad. it was really fun. i stayed over there and then i went home. my dad made breakfast that was, um, interesting. lol. i packed up a little bit, then went to michael's to exchange something. my mom and i were talking about what to get nigel for christmas and she said he wanted an ipod. so we went to the apple store and she got him a 16 gb ipod touch. i wish MY life was that easy. i never get what i want! lol. (middle child syndrome at its finest) haha. so we went back home and i got ready to go. i went to charge my phone and realized that it wouldn't charge for some reason. so i did 80 all the way to CVS to get a universal charger. UGH, it was too stressful. but hey, i'll take one stressful event for the whole weekend. so i left at 3:30 so that i could make the, what i thought was, a 5:00 bus. i got to manhattan at 4:45!! ahh! but when i got to the stop, the 4:00 bus hadn't even come yet...and i realized that my bus was at 5:30 lol. the 4:00 bus was extremely delayed but by the grace of god, my bus was right on time! so now i'm a few hours into the trip and i'm just relaxing, knitting, and occasionally checking facebook. and now, the next chapter: CGT of course...
ohh, CGT... haha. we didn't end up talking on wednesday, but he sent me the most adorable text message on thanksgiving morning. basically it just said that he was grateful for having me in his life and that made me feel so special!! i responded with 'is this a forward?' lol and he said, no. :) on friday night i texted him and he responded 'hey you' which is what i always use when i want to sound flirtatious, but maybe it doesn't translate for men... idk. lol. we texted briefly and he went to sleep. today, he called me to 'check up on me' during my trip back to DC. i thought that was cute. he said to call him when i get back there.
CONCLUSION: this weekend was fabulous and i really am so pleased with how everything went.

MOI!!!
ME!! i spent a lot of time this summer focusing on myself rather than the boys that came in and out of my life. that decision was most definitely a good one, and today i realized that it shouldn't stop just because the summer is over. in this new 'relationship' of sorts i need to really keep him on the back burner and keep myself unattached. i REFUSE to get hurt in this situation and the only way to accomplish that is to not be attached. i mean sure, i like him (CGT for those of u who don't read regularly)... but he can't be numero uno on my list of things and people that are important to me. he isn't. he never was. but i'm just saying, i gotta keep it like that. and also... i have to make sure that he realizes that thats all he is to me.. entertainment.
ow ow OWW!

seventy two
okey dokey... so this is just an update of what has been going on in my life since my life is just oh so exciting.
last night i slept over at CGT's house.. don't get all hype because nothing happened. i got super fucking high and went to sleep. then we woke up around 8 because he had to go to work. i got dressed and we walked to the bus stop. it was pretty cute. i kissed him goodbye and walked back home. the story is this... his friend was supposed to drop his two puppies off at CGT's house and he wouldn't be there cuz he was at work... so he left his back door open so that i could come over after class and watch the dogs. so when i got there, the dogs weren't there... but because i was already there i just decided to stay there until he got home from work. in the two hours (or so) that i was waiting, i cleaned his room and bathroom. i'm so sweet. that made me really excited for him to come home. so he walks in right? and he sees that the room is all clean and he looked so shocked. that made me really happy. he said he appreciated me, and honestly, what's better than that? so we hung out with the puppies for a while and just bullshitted and then i left because i had to go to the gym. the gym was straight but i didn't really feel well so i didn't try my hardest. now i'm just so tired soooo i'll be going to sleep now

fall asleep smiling
ahhhh! <- that was supposed to sound like a sigh. lol. i am definitely going to fall asleep smiling. last week i couldn't have been any lower, but things could only go up, and they are! good thing number one, the gym. i really missed working out. like, it was such a big part of my life for most of high school. working out just makes you feel good, like you've accomplished something good. not to mention the trainers, they're so great. i mean technically they aren't my trainers cuz i don't pay them, lol... but they make good friends lol. they're all cool as shit, like, i love those guys. good thing number two... i'm talking to CGT again. he called me and basically asked me to help him out cuz he is sick. pathetic. but i did it. we met up and went to CVS so he could get cold stuff. so i stayed with him in bed for a little bit then i tucked him in and kissed him goodnight (i better not get sick, shit). any hoo, it was really cute and i really did miss him. like things would remind me of him and i'd just try not to think about it or just shrug it off. but i can't front, i missed him. and he said he missed me too : ). anyways, i'm just so happy, like, i missed his scrawny ass! lol. everything is just smoothing out and i feel much better about things. i'm going home next week and i'm just HAPPY. yay!

Praise the Lord, I MADE IT!
phew! what a whirlwind weekend. i got all my work done by 3am this morning. it was difficult but i'm happy i at least got everything done.
on another note, i am SOOO SOO SOO SUPER DUPER sore. like, my body is screaming right now. the love of my life a.k.a. my trainer...we'll call him "J", kicked my little ass yesterday. it was one of the hardest workouts i've ever had in my life. what makes it even more difficult is the fact that i'm trying to look cute and work hard at the same time. lol. oh well. i'll see J later : )
on a more interesting note... CGT texted me yesterday morning. he said that he got dogs because he 'lost me' ... i told him that it was his choice.
i still wanna see the dogs though...
guys, i'm just so happy that i'm done with all that bullshit work i had to do. i am going home next week and life is g o o d!!! but i am truly exhausted right now so i'm going to continue laying down.

Serious Serious Update
okay yall, this past week has been one of the most difficult weeks of my entire life. right after i finished writing on here, my computer fell off my bed, which triggered my hardrive to say 'fuck you lauren, and everything you stand for" and um, yeah. i lost EVERYTHING. it was like starting from scratch with my computer. i lost all my picture, music, documents, everything. but its not as bad as it seems. i only lost the pictures that weren't on facebook, and my documents. i was able to recover my music from my ipod. sooo all wasn't lost. thank god. they were able to fix my computer within 24 hrs so i went to the mall this morning to go get it. i am sooooo happy i got it back!!
in other news... i'm noto talking to CGT anymore. for the usual reason, i won't have sex with you, you don't wanna talk to me. can't get upset over that.
in other news, i have all this stupid homework to do this weekend. i have no idea how i'm gonna get it all done. i have 3 papers, a speech, a take home test, and one test to study for. i've been working for about 3 hours trying to find articles to do two of the papers on. i can't fall behind... this is when the whole semester starts coming to a head and i can't slack now! heres a list of my classes and how i think i'm doing...
speech and hearing- A or B definitely
principles of speech- A or B definitely
math- pass (its a pass/fail class)
language development- A or B
french- D if i'm lucky
yeah, french is always a difficult one. if i can get an A on this take home test and do well on the next test and the final, i'll be good money with at least a C or a D. Preferably a C. we'll see lol.
in other great news, i have been going to the gym... unfortunately my eating habits haven't really improved, but hey, i'm burning calories. there are some really nice/hot trainers there too, so its all good.
***
so i just got back from the gym and got stopped by these Israelites and they are fucking crazy. i listened impatiently until they said that god hates white people. i had to leave on that note. this caused me to get into an argument with my 'gym buddy' and i honestly do not want to talk to her again. i am just not having a very good week. i am too sick of the bullshit and i just need a vacation right now.
