Avenue J
My musical of a life. I often break out into song. Deal with it. :) Don't stress. Relax. Let life roll off your back.

AGGGHHHHHHHHHH! *smashes into wall* Cruise was awesome. I have way too much homework right now, so all's you're going to get is the abbreviated version: Sunday (day 1) - getting onboard this 14 story ship - our tiny little cabin with 4 girls (ahh!) - meeting Kishurn (our room attendent) and Dublin and Lyndon (our waiters) - the drill involving everyone getting onto the deck with their life jackets on - meeting Etienne (French comedien) and hearing about The Chamber (with "ze freeky devil woman and you're like vut ze hell is zat doing zere?) - running into George, Ben, and Andrew 3 guys from E-ville Monday (day 2) at sea - getting really sea-sick upon waking up at 1:00 because the ship was making a huge curvy turn. the whole ship was sick - going outside to the 11th deck for fresh air - Dizzy's Jazz lounge - the singing/dancing show Tuesday (day 3) Costa Maya - the tender-boat ride to the shore - the boat ride to the rain-forest - the rain-forest tour with Captain Cheeno - the Mayan lunch - eating the bitter medicin leaf - seeing howler monkeys, Mayan ruins, alligators, exotic birds, gheckos, a manatee, and the canopy of the rainforest from the top of a Mayan ruin - the hot tubs with Ben and George - meeting Nick (hot NYC guy who doesn't drink, do drugs, or smoke yayness!) while walking "the line" on the top deck into the wind, causing my sister and I to look drunk even though we were both sober, as was he to be continued... Saturday, November 20, 2004
Hey! I'm leaving for my cruise tomorrow! I am mucho excited! The thing is, Yoni hasn't called and he promised he would, so I don't know if I should call him or if that would be "giving in." But I want to talk to him before I leave for the cruise....Advice? Another thing. I am listening to Beauty and the Beast. Makes me nervous. I hate people talking about it all the time. I try not to, but I somehow end up talking about casting anyway. Bah. Screw it. What happens, happens, and the most I can do is my best. And I will. And I hope I will kick ass. And if not, hopefully I'll be going to a great college at that time anyway, so it won't matter. I will be happy. -The lucky girl I'm going to marry. -but she's - -The most beautiful girl in town; that makes her the best - and don't I deserve the best? - of course ya do... sorry. apologies. I have to go. I must finish packing. I lover you all! Post again in a week (or sooner if there's free computer use on board) Thursday, November 18, 2004
Whoops! Apparently there was mucho confusion on that last post. That poetry was not inspired by truth. I was mad that he didn't call me. That's all. And yes I'm still a virgin. Is that really a big deal? Today in a class (the teacher was gone - we were on break) I asked this girl who I had always thought of as sweet and innocent if she was a virgin (don't ask how we got on the subject, I honestly don't remember) and she just looked away and another member of the class pointed out that I was "probably the only virgin in this room." That was a really long sentence. So yeah! Why am I putting this on my public blog? I don't really know, except that I'm not ashamed to be a virgin. Anyway. Saw Porgy and Bess last night. I didn't really like the story, but Luther and Laine were amazing. Luther had a solo and he sounded sooooooo great! Yay Luther! The opera was well done. The story, as I said, didn't really appeal to me, but that's okay. I gotta go. I have to turn in all my college apps that are due by Dec. 1 in tomorrow if I wanna have them there in time. Bye!

Poetry inspired by anger, jealousy, depression, stress, and Yoni. Written by me! Virgin Sacrifice 20/200 vision All I see is a blur All I hear is her “Hello?” Her voice as rough as the sex you just had Her accent as thick as syrup I know - I know I know At once You never needed me Stepping on glass Dead bonsai trees bleed pastel colors Your flames burn. They scorch my heart, A virgin sacrifice. Burned at the stake. It smolders and chokes and finally dies But a telltale puff of smoke still rises in me When I think of you Screeching -- halt Cold eyes Ashes of lust . . . Dead Love. Single Signal I call . . . The busy signal Singal? Single. Time: 00:02. Two seconds That’s all it takes. Two seconds to know There’ll be no talking to him tonight. Busy Great. I woke him up. I made him mad I woke his friends He has to work It never ends He can’t talk now He has to sleep Well then why was the phone going “Beep beep beep…”? Sunday, November 14, 2004

 You represent... naivete. So innocent and trusting... you can be very shy at times, but it's only because you're not sure how to act. You give off that "I need to be protected vibe." Remember that not all people are good. Being too trusting will get you easily hurt. What feeling do you represent? brought to you by Quizilla Bastard. You're not even trying to push my buttons, are you? Monday, November 08, 2004
Grrr-ar. Yoni's phone is busy. Stupid roomates. I need to know if he's coming! I doubt it at this point, but I don't want to give up hope. Wow, that's cliche. Today was stressful. First I was late for my physics test because I had to order my stuff from Josten's and I wasn't really ready for the test but I took it anyway and then Thread scolded me for not getting the homework done. I sat there in Times' Square and did as much as I could. I'm sorry it wasn't good enough. So I went into the bathroom to blow my nose and then Laine was there and she was very sad so I talked to her for a while and then went to gym. I also talked to Dr. Gibson about maybe auditing physics next semester and she said she didn't see why not. Yaya! Maybe physics stress is ending! TWB said I might be able to have a solo in Terry Becker and Friends, which, btw, you should all come see: Friday night. Yeah. On the 5th floor of the Victory. Yeah. Tomorrow I'm ordering my senior picture. Yayness! Well, night all. Sleepy time! Sunday, November 07, 2004
Hey hey! I'm back! And I'm better than ever! Now stealing Betsy's idea of summary of things in a few sentences. Sorry, Betsy. LOL. - Hung out with Laura's roomate Jamie and also with Laura and they helped me find audition songs. It was cool. - Walked around Times Square by myself. Talk about awesome. - Watched a show Laura is assistant stage managing called "Cam Jamson" based on a little kid's book series. I was in the second audience to EVER see it. It is really really good. It's going places. Keep your eyes peeled. (Who says that? Me, apparently) - Bought my friends presents in Times Square - On the way to Penn Station guy in a car yelled "hey gorgeous" at me as I walked by. What the hell? I don't get it. I rarely ever get checked out here at home and then I get hit on like 17 times while I'm in New York. Maybe guys there have less pride. Maybe girls there are uglier. Maybe I just am paying more attention in NY and don't notice when/if guys check me out here... maybe "my look" is considered pretty in NY but not that pretty here... maybe I'm just simply crazy... maybe that was a really stupid, self-involved paragraph. Yeah, I think so. - Went to New Jersey on a train where Laura edited/butchered my college essays - I needed it - Watched a concert my dad conducted and saw a buncha relatives and ate at a restaurant called the Famished Frog. Coolio - went shopping today and got 2 new pairs of shoes for $70 (and I mean designer shoes - Steve Madden and Me too) - Ate at a cute little diner and then got ice cream and the girl working had my shirt she said. - flew home and saw hot guy who was totally checking me out, but don't worry Yoni, I wasn't responding. LOL (laugh out loud) - ordered my graduation announcements and cap and gown from Josten's - am sitting here... waiting for life to find me ... or Yoni to call me ... either way lol Friday, November 05, 2004
Hey hey hey! I'm in the amazing, the fabulous, NYC! I can hardly contain my excitement...okay, maybe I can't contain it!!!!!!!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAH! I'm in NYC! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! WHEEEEEEEEEEE! YOYOYOYOYO!!!!!!!! Okay. Actually, my sister lives in the Dominiquin Harlem. It's really nifty...a little scary, but mostly nifty! Today I woke up, took the Subway (Red 1,9) to Broadway and 7th where NYU is located. We went to and info meeting and then on a campus tour. I love New York! It's so pretty. I mean, Times Square is always really hectic, but other parts are quite calm, comparitively speaking. It is really nice where NYU's main campus is. Then we had lunch at the cool little Italian restaurant called Monte's and the owner was a crazy little Italian man. He talked to my dad in Italian. The old waiter guy checked me out. EWewewewewewew! Then we went to see my sister in Times Square. It was awesome. We had Starbucks (yes Manda Starbucks) and ice cream even though it was freezing cold. Then we (just my mom and I) went back to NYU to get info on their theatre school, Tisch, (I hailed us a cab to get there, I'm so proud) and we went to the meeting there. Then we went back to Laura's apartment on the Subway and then we went to eat at this lovely (j/k) restaurant near laura's apartment and we were the only white people there. This guy in line in front of us turns around and goes *deep breath through teeth* "mmmmmm hey b, check her out. she's fiiiine" and I was just like lalala and turned away. The food was really good, though. Now I'm back here. Tomorrow I'm going to Times Square with my sister and I get to hang out all day there. Yayuh! I lover you all and I'll try to bring back lotsa presents. Nighty-night! Wednesday, November 03, 2004
Came home sick from school again today. I fell asleep in art class. Ahem. yeah. Yoni called tonight. I was happy. We are both sick though. Hmmm I wonder how that happened...? He got me to thoughroughly embaress myself, claiming it was "cute." Yeah. At least one of us was amused. Well, okay, I was a little amused at how incredibly dumb and gullible I am. I can always amuse myself that way! LOL. ;) I'm leaving for NYC tomorrow after school. I'm going to visit my sister and my family and to look at NYU. Yup yup yup. Anyone else remember the original "The Land Before Time"? I like how I use correct grammar even on my blog. LOL. I already said that. Ah, screw it I'm not gonna erase it. LOLOL. Yaya. I didn't call Amanda back. I didn't call Alyse. I didn't call Emily back. I am a terrible person. Well, too bad. I was sick. So there. Nah nah nah nah nah. I get weird and kinda loopy when I'm sick, don't I? lalalala..... Tuesday, November 02, 2004
Hey! I just got back from voting. I voted mostly Democratic, unless I had incentive not to. I was sick today. I left after first period and went to the doctor. I have a virus and am somewhat contagious, so I didn't go back to school. I hope Taylor realized I left... I finished and submitted my first application last night! Now all I need is for Dr. Gibson and another teacher to fill out this last little form. I hope they give me good recommendations! I wanted to blog so badly, but I now am realizing I didn't have anything worth saying. Hmph. Check my other site. You know who you are. Monday, November 01, 2004
The weirdest thing happened today. I just got this urge to pray and so I pulled into my church's parking lot and sat outside on these benches in this circle of trees and prayed. I don't know how long I was there for. Not that long. But it was amazing how good and clean I felt afterward. It was like all my worries were just gone after that. Of course, they're not gone, but I came home and was extremely productive and got a college application submitted and am now going to finish my college essay for Florida State. That's all I have time to say now. Buh-bye! Thought for the day: For thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory forever. Amen. - the Lord's prayer -
