hang in there kate.  SI SE PUEDE.  thanksgiving is SO soon-- a cathartic consumptive pause we all sorely need!

i'll be thinking of you guys hardcore come thanksgiving.  i'm so happy to be spending it at the shelter though.  

jeff randomly texts me once in a while when he's drunk.  tonight i curtly texted back that i would love to be contacted sometime when he isn't wasted.  i fear i came off as a little harsh.  

Amy that's super lame. Where are you working on New Years?

Shit's been so wack lately, I can't wait to see all of you who'll be home for T-Giving. When are you all getting back to the Roch? I'll either be back Tuesday night or Wednesday afternoon.

When are we seeing Twilight?? I know basically nothing about the movie but the previews are sexy Cedric Diggory is a hottie so I'm there.

Monday's going to be the busiest day of my life...hope you all are faring well with end of the semester bullshit, or for you Harvs people -- mid semester bullshit?

xoxoxoxoxoxo

it should be low key and start really early, so i can come for a little bit!
I'm working new year's eve in aa from 9:30-5am ish
fuck

if we do a new years party, can it be really low key?  like pizza bagels and pj pants?  (this is sacrilege, i know)

Jess,
New years party?

The MSU Men's Club Volleyball D team officially is the worst out of 60 teams from all over the country. We lost every set that we played.

Playing on a team is one of the hardest things i have ever done. I am amazed at the extreme challenges it creates. Not only do i have to constantly worry about myself and what and how I am doing, but i have to make sure everyone else knows what they are doing. I frequently find myself struggling to trust people, and in a sport like volleyball where one team is confined to more space than any other sport and you must work together this proves to be a bad thing. So much trust is involved with this sport. People on my team suck, so how can i trust that they will do well? I think that I am one of the best players on my team, and i know that its because i am one of the hardest working players on my team. We organize extra practices all the time and i have gone to every one, but only 5 or 6 people ever show up. Everyone gets angry when we lose, and i dont think that they realize that rewards come to those who work for them. I have a feeling it is because 10 of the 13 of us are freshman, and they just dont understand hard work.

I want to be awesome at volleyball, and I'm getting there. slowly. Its really hard to get better when the people you depend on suck.

Plus, our team name is "Posse". We are MSU Posse. I hate it.

We have another small tournament on December 6th that we are hosting, and i really hope that we finally win a set. we are 0-10.

I mean, i really dont care about winning becuase im having so much fun, but it might be nice to feel like what i am doing is worth the work.

Back to college...

Bed bugs suck.
My cat has fleas, and I'm pretty sure when I wear sweaters I have them too.

I agree Jula. Keeping in touch feels really good, especially when school is so crazy.

This is a really good idea Chockley -- I'm glad you set this all up for us. I think everyone knows how bad I am at using phones so this makes it way easier for me to talk to you guys. :)

The time when I might have to move back into my apartment is approaching quickly; I'm getting worried about it. I'm so afraid of moving back in and having the bed bugs come back and having to go through this whole situation again. I really don't think I could handle it. I think I'm going to try and sublease instead of moving back in. Though I'm worried that if the bugs do come back the person I sublease to will try and take my ass to court...I hope they can't do that.

I've got two research papers and a bajillion presentations due soon. Anyone got some motivation they can lend me?

our massive correspondence seriously has kept me going through a batshit crazy week.  looking forward to keeping in touch :)

tomorrow i get back my orgo exam-- lovely.  and jess and i will go with a couple other friends to see a production of assassins.  jess, why the fuck don't we see each other more.

and just for the record, if we're talking about random peeps we consider spouse material, my money's on jim murray.  i am obsessed with his rochester idol video.  does that make me strange?? 

FIRST TIME thatswhatshesaid.

We have a pretty glorious thread going on the Face book, but i stole this idea from a friend of mine. I figure that here instead of just saying things to eachother and laughing about Alli Murray we can post real things that we think are interesting, entertaining, boring, hilarious, etc. If this is a lame idea just let me know, but i like it.

I have nothing interesting to say at this time. At all.


so....

yeah, riveting start to this "blog".


...remember xanga?
