2:25 pm - Yeah I know its been a while, but I'm bored so...
|
Question: Why did I leave school so early?
Answer: I'm a dumbass
Basically, everyone is still up in Boston without me, having fun.. doing SOMETHING. I decided to grab a plane back to philly 2 seconds after my last exam, which was very stupid of me. Now in order to get back there I have to pay like $150 round trip. Total bummer. At least I have my Gina here, and Emily's coming soon too... and we're doing mad fun stuff this weekend (Say Anything concert, clubbing, Rent), oh and Katie's coming friday night on her way up to Jersey, which is pretty sweet too.
But right now I'm sitting here, attempting to learn Spanish (which is harder than I thought it would be) because I'm going to Guatamala in a month and a half, and trying to find a way to earn a few bucks so I can do fun shit here while I'm still around.
Still, all I can think about is how much I miss college, the friends I made this semester, how much I've changed this year, how my alcohol tolerance is probably diminishing as I type, and how bad I want to go back and spend just one more weekend with everyone, on the beach, at Six Flags, or something. Besides, Jeff kinda needs me to be the 4th person so he doesn't have to be the 3rd wheel around Ali and Pat. We're thinking getting those two together wasn't the brightest idea after all haha.
Oh yeah Ali Davitt, if you're reading this, come to Philadelphia! With our powers combined we can make everyone get their asses down here... :-)

Once you are tagged you MUST write a blog about your 6 weird habits/things as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next six people to be tagged and list their names:
1. Errr plucking my eyebrows and eyelashes (not with tweezers): I guess ever since my sister told me I had bushy eyebrows and I needed to pluck them, I've not only been doing it with tweezers, but all the time, especially when I'm bored or nervous.
2. Drinking orange juice: I think I must drink at least 5 bottles a day. Its like water to me.
3. Singing to myself: Yeah, I always have songs stuck in my head. And no, I don't know the correct lyrics either, but this does not stop me from singing out loud wherever I am, ESPECIALLY if I am listening to my ipod.
4. I tend to pay better attention in class when I'm almost passed out in my chair. Forget notes, thats entirely useless.
5. Popping pimples: If I see one little bump on my face, I'ma squeeze that mother fucker dry.
6. Switching friends a LOT: I think I probably know half my campus pretty personally because I was once really good friends with all of them. But for some reason its hard for me to be fully satisfied with anyone, and thus I keep moving on...
thenshewokeup, tigerangel225, doublereeder, wolfmaen, liquidkaji, careinmypants
PS. Today I practiced with the entire band (Green Day Rock Opera) with microphones and all. We basically woke up the entire campus while we rocked out for 5 hours. It was AWESOME.

4:11 pm - On Quinn's computer cause mine got the shit kicked out of it...
|
K so, here's the deal. Apparently I sleepwalk when I'm drunk. The end.
On other news, I just got into a musical! w00t! It's a student run/written play about the Green Day soundtrack: American Idiot. It should be pretty effing fun. Ya'll should get your asses over to BC and come see it cause I'm gonna rock BC Theatre out of this worldddd...
On further news, my stepdad is now my favorite person, because he bought me a new video ipod. Yes I know I'm a sucker for bribes but what are you going to do about it?
Tonight: BC vs BU hockey game, we're gonna kick their asses cause we're #1 (finally!) now. Then out to dinner with Quinn and her mom, who is by the way the coolest mother I have ever met. Oh and ps Quinn is a Sharp. How cool is she? SO cool. (k that wasn't me typing right there)
Hope ya'll are havin fun at college kids, see you around.

11:02 am - Good times in Colorado
|
So last night= nuts. First of all, went to Vail during the day and skied the Back Bowls all day. If you don't know what they are, its like the top of the mountain, barely any trees, just open wonderfulness, lots of powder, pure freedom, and jumps galore. So that was fun. Then went to a Nappy Roots/ Coolio concert. Yeah that's right kids, COOLIO, like that 40 year old guy thats still pimp as hell? He played his clutch song "Gangsta's Paradise", and it was awesome! And I even met him and have a picture with him on my cell phone! (Hopefully soon to be my facebook picture once I figure out how to put it on my computer...
Oh yeah I got hit on mad crazy by a 29 year old. That was super funny. This is basically what he was saying over and over:
Guy: You really are something you know that? Like, you're a really special girl, and I could TOTALLY get freaky with you, but I'm OLD! and you don't want that. Like seriously, you don't even want to know how old I am...but I can sure get freaky, especially with you.
Me: How old are you?
Guy: 29
Me: oh geez... where's your girlfriend anyways?
Guy: She left cause we got in a fight. But that's ok. You know you're a really great girl, you deserve better than me, like someone your own age, and you'll know it when you find it, like someone that will treat you just right, and that can't be me, becuase I'm too old for you, but there will be someone out there for you, don't you worry, I'm just sorry it can't be me. You're gonna find that perfect guy somewhere, somehow.... So you live in Brighton Massachusettes huh? And you are a freshman at Boston College?
Me: Yep
Guy: Well, I've never been to Brighton but I live in Western Mass and I have a few friends that live around there... but they're real old too.
Me: That's a shame
Guy: Yeah, so where do you live normally? Like not at college?
Me: Philadelphia
Guy: Oh ok, well i've never been there either. I do physics in western Mass you know, so I'm super smart.
Me: You're a Physics teacher?
Guy: No I'm a grad student.
Me: Oh ok
Anyways, this went on for a while, him repeating shit over and over and going away and coming back again... it was quite entertaining.
By the way, the girl/guy ratios over here are fantastic...

2:06 pm - Its about that time again!
|
Updates since last time?
1. The play went pretty well. I got about twice as many lines as everyone else for some reason... which was a pain in the ass to memorize but at least it made my sisters think I had a big part!
2. The frisbee team won 1 game! w00t. Cept it was on the trip that I didn't go on. And now we're doing winter training and my muscles hurt big time.
3. Boy update? Errrrr yeah, haven't quite met my dream guy yet. And if I have, chances are he lives on Newton (a campus for freshman about 15 minutes away by bus) and I can't really date any of them anyways.
4. FINALLY found a girl that's totally best friend material. Like, she's a lot like me in a sense that we think the same way and think pretty much everything is HILLARIOUS. But the wierd part is she's in substance-free housing (which consist of mainly absolute losers) and she's not like them at ALL, even if she does try not to drink. So yeah. Her name is Katie Quinn. Interestingly enough her dad was Clinton's lawyer and she is the president of her dorm. So she's a pretty big deal. People know her.
5. I love this school. Like no joke, people here are just plain awesome. And we have some serious school spirit too, like you'll notice if you walk through campus that a good 90% of the students are wearing some type of BC clothing. We're just dedicated like that. Still, I'm kinda upset we lost to Harvard in hockey last night... cause Harvard sucks the big one.
K, I really wish I had an interesting story to tell all of you, but I don't. So sorry. Unfortunatly my life is not nearly as melodramatic as everyone else's. No sex drama, no walking in on sex, no crazy roomate problems, no drugs (besides an obseen amount of alcohol which everyone seems to abuse on a regular basis), no ex-boyfriends to worry about, no lame highschool drama, NOTHIN. Just good old classic college life. I think I broke my cell phone once going mudsliding/layout in frisbee practice but I blowdryed it and it came back to life within a couple hours.
Thanks for listening.
Love, Alice.

9:54 pm - For all of you that missed my wary ways... don't fret I haven't changed much!
|
OMG so typical "Alice" thing to do, cept college style:
So I'm coming home from frisbee practice right... (I had decided to wear jeans cause its 50 degrees out and my entire team now calls me "jeans") ...but that is beside the point and not what this story is about. So I'm walking back to my dorm and I say hi to this kid in my latin class. And he says:
Kid: Hey Alice, your last name is Barton right?
Me: Yeah... why?
Kid: Why haven't you been to practice?
Me: Ummm practice for what?
Kid: The Bachhae... The stage manager was asking for you the other day saying your name wrong... "Alise Barton" and I said you definitely didn't dissapear cause you are in my latin class
Me: Wait a second, I'm in The Bachhae! I got in!!! HOLY SHIT! Do I have a big part?
Kid: Well I mean all the parts are big but I don't know what you got
Me: Wow.... have I missed much? Jesus they probably kicked me out because I haven't been going...
Kid: No well we've only been practicing for a week and we haven't done much... but yeah we have practice today at 6 if you want to go
Me: Oh yeah definitely! I'll be there!
Of course it took me like an hour to find the place where we were practicing (it was in the top floor of some dorm) and when I got there I hadn't eaten, everyone was like what the fuck is this girl's problem? And the director was like, so you still wanna be in the play?
So the end result is that the lines assigned to people last week I obviously don't get, but they didn't cover that much so its all good. (I'm in the chorus, but its a Greek play, so the crapload of lines the chorus gets are split up so everyone gets a LOT of lines) ...And so life goes on, no damage done.

So, its still my birthday... and I feel like a frickin rockstar right now. Its quite incredible. We're did freshman orientation and I got really involved so now everyone knows me its pretty sweet. Pretty much I'm lovin it here right now...haven't made any close friends yet but i hope that will change soon. I'm still shopping lol. Oh Oh and I got to play dodgeball! And we had a little dance competition and I participated (no I didn't really win anything but whatevs I still got a free t-shirt) Emily G is home signing up for courses at Penn cause of the Hurricane and everything (yeah it sux a lot) ... but still kinda wishing she was here with me but I can't really do anything about that.
Yeah, I'm fuckin tired I'm going to bed. Peace out.

1:07 pm - Can anyone say... summer entry?
|
Ok ok so it's been a good 2 months since I've written...WHATCHA GONNA DO ABOUT IT?!
The summer goes as follows:
- Some serious missing of my homegirls
- Some serious love from my campers (i got the jewels and papers to prove it)
- Some seriously fantastic australians and englishmen to show me what life is all about!
- Some other cool staff members from the states
- A little more camper love
- Some CRAZY staff parties (seriously no joke out of control)
- Then I saw 12th night, which was possibly the best shakespeare production I've ever seen
- Taught some delinquent campers how to sail along the way
- Got buff from lifting boats
- A little more drinking
- Some crying at the end
And then I came back. Its hard to believe I won't be in Maryland to refill my gas for cheap any more. Its even harder to believe I won't be seeing some of those people ever again. It's even harder to believe that I won't be seeing my best friends at school this year. Seriously, I don't know what I'm going to do with myself. I don't know if I'll ever find friends at college that will compare to the ones I made in highschool. But even if I do, I know that it will never be the same. I'll never be the same person once I go to college, and neither will they. Still, I can't lose them. I went up to see Gina yesterday, helped her move in and relax a little. It was weird seeing her with all those new people who know nothing about her. She wasn't acting like herself. Oh well they'll get used to her eventually haha.
As for me, I'm going up to Boston on Sunday, staying at Zoe and Liv's apartment for the night then moving into my dorm in the morning. By the way I somehow scored a Quad, so my room will be HUGE which means some serious parties. I have 3 roomates, from Staten island, Maine and California/Taiwan. They seem pretty decent, 2/3 of them are liberal... Anyways I still have a bunch of people I need to see before I go. This includes Gigi, Abby, Christy, Tess, Miyori, Miller and Jonah... and really anyone else I bump into.
Aight thats all folks, make sure I see you all before I head north!

Hey there, I'm at camp, and I'm fuckin exhausted.
Kids, are MOSTLY quite awesome. But they have a little trouble getting to sleep sometimes, and they are a little bit boy crazy too. Actually, one of my campers has been hooking up with guys since 3rd grade(hmmm...)
So yeah, sailors are morons, other counselors are fantastic, boss is fantastic, so unless I die or something, I don't think I'll be coming back any time soon.
Went to the shore the other day though to see my girls (who I miss to pieces), and that was very interesting. Christy... wow. And thats all I have to say.
See ya on the flip side while I be chillin wit my Aussi's

Wow, Shipley Class of 2005 rocks some serious ass.
Somehow we managed to get like 2/3 of the class +some at Minellas at midnight tonight. That is just plain amazing. Of course we coordinated that but noone thought to buy stuff for afterwards... oh well.
Josh's tomorrow, then off to Tockwogh sunday morning, I will miss you all soooooo much! I'm thinking, I'll just quit halfway through the summer cause I can't handle being away from my friends that long especially if I know I won't be seeing any of them next year.

So apparently I am supposed to keep this thing PG. Cause Livia reads it, and so does her friend Rachel, and who knows who the hell else. But I don't care what she says, cause it's my journal and I'll do what I want!
So, graduation tomorrow. I will enjoy singing a chorus song that I have only seen once in my lifetime. I will also enjoy wearing my mom's never used wedding dress. And thirdly, I will most definitely enjoy sitting and being watched by tons of people while Shipley takes their goddamn time giving everyone their diplomas.
OK... enough with the lame sarcasm, here's what I will actually enjoy: Playing pass the penny during the entire thing, sitting with the Gallants during the luncheon, and finally getting Deborah's critic on my artwork because she "didn't get a chance to before" *cough*... its amazing how well she fits in with my dad... so well that he doesn't even need to apologize for his faults! Why? Because as long as she agrees he did nothing wrong, he didn't do anything wrong.
So Tockwogh? Why is everyone so excited again? You guys might be all pumped about being staff for the first time, but I've BEEN there, and it ain't all that exciting, just boring lectures and staff parties where there is at least one person who drinks wayyyy too much for their own good. And I'm sorry, but polo shirts in 90 degree weather does not make me excited about going to camp and making a mere $2000 for the entire summer. Plus I just blew like 300 dollars just shopping for "acceptable attire". We'll just see how long I last. Slash, if they give me shit about the dress code, I'll just quit. Oh and I bought some dodgeballs for camp, hopefully they'll let me use them. They're those soft sponge-like balls that can't possibly hurt anyone but are big and heavy enough that the wind won't blow them away like the other ones. I'm thinking... tie-dying them into the 4 pillar colors? Yeah, that's the dilio, I'll see you all bright and early Sunday morning! Navajo village baby.

10:07 pm - Don't you just loveeee to look like a chipmunk, because I do
|
countdown... 1 hour and 20 minutes until I have to stop drinking liquids...
WHY OH WHY MUST I GET MY WISDOM TEETH OUT???
I created a list of why I shouldn't:
1. none of my sisters had to
2. The pain I had a week ago went away
3. I don't trust mainline doctors
4. I can feel the places where they would grow in and there seems to be enough room
5. I have wayyy too many parties to go to this weekend/ I won't be there for my senior shakespeare present
6. I need to make sure I don't look like a chipmunk for my SSP presentation/ kickball game
7. I won't be able to drive for an entire 24 hours
Reasons why I should:
1. My doctor told me so
2. Laughing gas is rather fun
3. ........I got nothin.
So therefore, by the ancient rule of popular vote, I should not have to get my wisdom teeth pulled. HA! I win.
Oh btw I got my graduation present already, its a powerbook. w00t

Goal for next year:
Instead of just doing a fuckload of stuff and barely getting through all of it, and having a half-fast attitude about everything/making a joke out of everything you do, concentrate on a few things, pretend like you care a whole lot, and be super nice to everyone with a cheery attitude about life.
MAYBE THEN PEOPLE WILL FUCKIN NOTICE YOU'VE WORKED YOUR ASS OFF FOR 4 FUCKIN YEARS TRYING TO PLEASE EVERYONE AND DO EVERYTHING!!!!
On a happier note, I just saw Star Wars, and it was nice. Except when Anikan turned evil. That wasn't very cool.

8:56 pm - This is my attempt to keep my livejournal alive...

So, schools out. for. the. SUMMER! (and for highschool)
and, I wish my SSP didn't die. I mean, I love hanging out with Gina and Emily and Julia Rich at MANNA, but the driving is hard, city parking is a bitch and a half, and they make me wear a plastic apron. So basically this will get very tiresome after a while and I'm hoping I'll be able to switch back to Schukyll wildlife rehab after a little while.
Recently:
Varsity softball won the championship
I went to Florida and snuck into a bar with Livia
I anxiously waited through a gruelingly long graduation
I spent a day killing "stumpy" and buying wood with Jonah
I started MANNA
I got a $35 parking ticket
I had a softball dinner
I spent some quality time with my grandma
I decided to be a "whench" in King Lear
I took a kickass picture of Gina and Emily on my cell phone with Em's new paperboy hat
Alex Green called me up to hangout (hmm....)

It's.... 9:30, and I thought my Art AP was this morning but its not, and I'm not sure if I should go to Physics or not. Probably should since I have the AP on monday.
Guess what?
School is over tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!
And after that, I get to feed baby squirels! OOOOoooooooooo
Aw fuck I'm tired, I was mounting my artwork for like 5 hours yesterday and it's still not done... this better be worth it/I better get a 5. But I prob won't cause I don't have a ton of exceptional pieces. Oh wells, its doesn't matter, I really just want to do well for the Shipley art program, not for me.
Ok back to doing nothing, see ya

no... not ridiculously stoned.
I got a frickin trophy!
So I was at West Chester University with all these random "actor-type" people from other highschools. You can imagine how awkward I felt, I was like the jock of the group or something.
But I still managed to kick some major acting ass and win the "best scene" prize. Will and I had to perform all of our scenes together in 4(!) minutes.
And... duh Bradley Strange won best actor.
And Peter Nettle won "best comidic monologue"... you should've seen his face when he won that prize it was CLASSIC.
Btw the trophy looks like an Oscar which I think is pretty cool.
Off topic, Deanna has a torn ACL so she can't play softball... SHIT.

9:09 pm - Worst day EVER!!
|
If you noticed I was like crying all day long, i thought i'd tell you why...
1. Lost my keys this morning, and dad threatened to hang me if i didn't find them
2. Got to madrigals late and I'm sure Ms Wilson yelled at me a little since 6-pack is on Thursday
3. Art, have less than 3 weeks to complete my AP... was going to take pictures this weekend at Boston but I forgot my camera, so Wags yelled at me.
4. Physics, as soon as I got to class after explaining that I couldn't do the hw for my life, Teirney gave me another problem set and the lab that I missed on Monday (still haven't done the lab from 2 weeks ago)
5. Emily doesn't realize that i'm super upset now and she makes her regular series of putdowns which totally don't help. (but she makes up for it later by making me a balloon... and then popping it (hm)
6. On to history class, I'm not at all in the mood to work at this point and I just sorta fuck around and photocopy an article from Cosmo for Gina and Christy... then try to do math problem set with Christy before class and Mrs. Ralph catches me and yells at me big time, threatening to make me take the final exam even though I have a B+ in the course.
7. Math class, totally behind, don't even have the sheet that we were working on, sobbing the entire class, have no idea whats going on, supposed to take a test tomorrow...thats not happening
8. Tried to take a mental health day but I can't because Mrs Then won't let me
9. MY ENTIRE SOFTBALL TEAM SET ME UP IN ASSASINS!!! and now I'm dead. by one measly drop of water.... I stole the gun from Caroline and I should have run away after that but instead she dipped her hand in the glass and flicked me with it. SOOOO MAD. Emma you're dead. DEAD!
Shit i really have to work. like fer real.
