This week in review, for those of you who don't care. My cousin arrived here from Kilkenny on saturday, and left this morning. It was awesome, he wouldn't let us pay for anything, he bought so much stuff for himself because America is so much cheaper than Ireland. He bought a Touch Ipod, a digital camera, a new bass guitar, and foods for back home that they don't have. He bought me Pan's Labyrinth and Into The Wild. I've never seen Into The Wild but all my friends rave over it, so I thought, why not! I've also been catching up on Gossip Girl. I was really worried they wouldn't continue the story of Aaron the way the book had it, but it's working out. It's not the same, but it's okay, and I completely love him. I hope that this season is as good as the last, it has potential. I cut myself on a pillow while sleeping, how ironic is that?! Stupid zippers. I found out that 3OH!3 & The Maine are coming to Toads five days after my birthday. You have no idea how excited I am, no idea. I'm going out with Stephanie, Alora, and Katie tonight for dinner down town, then back to my house for some Smirnoff and Bring It On for the sake of our Brownie Troop 345 days. I have to go back to toads the next day to get tickets to the show, which should be simple enough because I'm going downtown again with Kara that day. Which reminds me, classes are starting extremely soon and I need to send my mom the list of books for my six classes this semester. Anyways, thats my wrap-up of things, I really hope this semester goes better than last, but if not, JMU HERE I COME!
>> oh! and John called me the other night and asked to confirm my address, which means he's sending me something, which he won't tell me about. I asked if it was for valentines day and he said no, which is weird because he isn't spontaneous, he doesn't get you things just for the hell of it. I'm nervous, but I've only been surprised a few times in my life, so I'm going to let this one happen.

I've been watching Gossip Girl online. I haven't seen this season so I thought I should start now. I'm watching New Haven Can Wait, which is weird because New Haven is my city. I was literally born at Yale New Haven Hospital, so all this talk of Yale and New Haven is so weird. It's not exactly like it's New York City or anything, and I know Yale is the creme de la creme, but usually it's all talk no episode. I'm 99.9% positive that they didn't shoot it at Yale, because I grew up at Yale, I know Yale, and it doesn't look like Yale. Also, I don't like bitchy Serena, and I don't like hopped up horny Nate.

I actually had a really nice week. I wasn't on the schedule for work this week, which means next week I won't be getting a paycheck, and this weeks will only be for about $50 because I only worked two days last week. I didn't call to schedule times or tell them I'd work what ever hours they'd give me, and I'm glad I didn't because I got to have fun and not have to worry about anything. I went to the movies with Jackie to see the curious case of benjamin button, as previously stated. I loved it, the time frame didn't bother me at all, but when looking back on it Tilda Swinton's part was not necessary. I went to lunch with Shaun, my boss from camp and also one of my favorite people of all time. It was really fun, and he paid which was awesome, and he said we should do it again. Then I went with John to the apartment with him and Frank. We stayed there wednesday night, thursday night, then came back late today. I had a really nice time, and it was odd because I hung out and talked with Frank a lot. John, Frank, and I played cards and Buzz Quiz a lot, and we went food shopping, which was fun. The second night John and I went in the hot tub and pool at his apartment, which was nice but then after I felt scuzzy and gross. We went to the mall and I bought Twilight the book, because I kind of like it, and I'm ashamed of that because I was so anti-twilight for so long. While there John and I wrestled, watched Flapjack (our favorite show), slept together [I'll let you pick which one, or both, I mean], we bought Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream, I got John Lennon's Imagine Whirled Peace while John got Steven Colbert's The Americone Dream, and it was just really really nice, it felt like the way college is supposed to be. I had a really, really awesome time there, every day was fun and eventful. The only thing that sucked about it is my friend's brother passed away the day we left, and I never found out about it because I was pretty much secluded from society. Our friend TJ was supposed to come to the apartment today, but he was going to the wake, and that's how I found out. I felt so bad for not being there, because I know how that feels to not have people there for you when you've lost someone close to you.

I just got back from The Curious Place of Benjamin Button and I thoroughly loved it.
