So basically I haven't written in here since 2004.. it's now 2007.
Update: i got a job, i got a car, i graduated high school, i'm now in college, and there's a new boy in my life

I think writing in here is a good idea now because i hate it here at school.  I always want to go home.  It's ridiculous.  supposed to be the best years of your life and it's not turning out that way for me so far.  I'm most likely transferring, I sent out my apps a couple weeks ago so i'll repost on here when i found out!

It's amazing, at a place like this you really find out who your friends are.  I came to the same school with 3 of my friends and roomed with one of them.  Let's just say that didn't really work out.  I went home a lot first semester.  Now, not so much because i've learned to just not care about it anymore.  If she wants to ruin our friendship, then I can't stop her.  I realize now i have so many other friends that are there for me and don't understand why she's doing this.  I honestly did nothing wrong, but that's all i have to say about that.

Senior year was the most amazing year of my life.  I wish i could go back and relive it, seriously.  To all my fellow 06ers, you guys are so great.  Every single one of you!  Thanks for such an amazing year.  I will never forget any of you.  Basically, i'm looking forward to class reunions already! haha so excited.  To my amazing soccer team, i love you guys so much.  I'm so glad i got to play with such a great group of girls.  To my volleyball team, thanks for making me a captain.  We had our problems because some of you were stupid biotches, but that's what made our team so special haha.  Softball team.. tough season, but lots of fun. 

This past weekend I went to cortland state to visit katie and jess.  WOW!  Most fun i've had in a long time.  The people were so nice.  I love their friends, all sweethearts.  Going to all these other schools i realize how much i picked the wrong one.

Now this boy in my life.  All i can say is this is the most pleasant surprise i've gotten in a while.  He's been there all along but i didn't know it.  He makes me smile so much and happier than anyone has ever made me before.  I hope i'm not getting my hopes up for nothing.  It's tough though, cuz here i am at college, and he's back around my  home.  Distance doesn't bother me that much so i hope that won't matter.

So that was kind of a lot for my first post of this new year.  But it's been soooo long and i had to get it all out.
I'm sure this is now the post of many to follow so keep looking!

i feel so accomplished. today i finished my paper on a book i've been "reading" for like a month. haha turned out not to be that bad. whoda thunk it?! now i'm onto reading my second book which i'm more than half-way through already and i only started on tuesday! it's 460 pages :x my lord. hopefully i'll have some plans this weekend, been a while!

today i called kyle, upset as usual. he was on the golf course! woopsy! then he called me back and said he was gonna stop by. 5 minutes later, here comes matt, kyle, tyler, and kevin. WHAT A CREW! kevin left quick, but the other stayed for a few minutes. then my dad came home. oh man, i was sure i was dead. but i asked matt to go talk to my dad and he made up the perfect story that didn't get me in trouble. haha it was amazing. AND IT WORKED. i didn't get in any trouble. A BIG THANK YOU TO MATT!!!!!

went out to dinner at Ionellis or however u spelled it. our waiter was the nicest guy ever. didn't know someone could love their job that much. then we went out for ice cream, yum. speaking of ice cream, SOMEONE still owes me a vanilla cone!!!! ;) haha u know who u are.

right now i'm just talking to a few people and watching Whose Line is it Anyway, one of the funniest shows on tv, no matter what anyone else says.

i'll catch you all some other time

LATER

ps
I LOVE YOU KATIE

i hope this works... if not BLAME KATIE


IS IT MOVING?

Hi Leighann. I hope that you enjoyed the books, and I hope that I can clarify the assignment for you. Now that you have answered no to both questions, your essay should consist of your argument. Remember, the framework for this novel is relatively accurate (she did make some changes, as she acknowledged in her postscript). The four sisters actually did exist, but her characterization of them is fictionalized, due to lack of information. How effective is this book in conveying the truth, when so much of it is fictionalized? Is it fair for the author to take a real, tragic situation, make so many changes, in order to sell books? Do you think that her intent is to sell books or educate people about past tragedies? You may find that a little research of the actual events might help you. Also, think about how she developed these characters. Would the real sisters be pleased with the portrayal, considering the fact that Alvarez had very limited information to work with. This avenue could provide you with the strongest arguments, since you can make specific references to the characterization to support your opinions.

I hope that helps, and please pass this on to anyone else who might be puzzled!

...since i've written in here. Right now i have shania twain blasted in the living room.. she knows her stuff. last night was volleyball but it got rained out YET AGAIN. holy jeezum i hate the weather lately. we drove up there and warmed up for like 10 minutes maybe, then turned around and when home, grrr. these past few days i've done nothing but read read read. i hate it! monday night i stayed at caity a's. we went and saw The Notebook, which is incredibly good. Then John and Rich came and picked us up. I thought i'd have time to dry my eyes before they came, but they were standing right outside the theater! along with a ton of other people, guys included :P--oh well, the movie was excellent. from there we stopped at a "party" in oney somewhere. cait and i didn't know anyone there.. i felt pretty dumb. let me tell you, that was a happenin party, sooo many people there haha. well we weren't there very long and soon made our way to a party at randy's for shano's b-day. There were a bit more people there than at the first party we stopped at. cait and i didn't drink but i have to say we had a heck of a time. we were both incredibly hyper. the only bad part of the night was when cait and i went to put our purses in john's car. we walked all the way down to jake's deli where the cars were parked BUT THEY WEREN'T THERE. haha totally forgot that rich and john went down and moved them into randy's driveway. turns out i was staring at john's car as we walked right by it. in the windshield is a red light that goes back and forth and i was totally amused but didn't realize it was his car. haha oh well. cait's mom told her we had to be back to her house by my curfew. haha i don't have a curfew, but hey, she didn't know that :P During the night i inhaled so much smoke.. it was so nasty. when i was sitting in a chair next to cait, she pulled me over onto her lap and i was laughing histerically. well, when she did that the CHAIR BROKE. right there while i was sitting in it. i have to say i've never felt more stupid! alex told me i needed to lose some weight so cait and i went out and jumped on the trampoline. i slipped and fell since it was raining and my butt was fricken soaked!!!!!! totally worth it though. the only guy that really talked to me was Fred, haha what a guy. Cait and i went home at bout 12:30ish i think and watched The Breakfast Club and fell asleep. haha the next day was great. She woke me up at like 10 and told me that the mover guys were here with her bed. after they put it in and got it assembled, we went upstairs and realized they put it in the wrong spot. haha so us totally ripped girls went and moved it into the right spot, we were amazing. next we put together the chair that went with her new desk. let me tell you watching cait try to put it together was hilarious, but she got it! then there was a shelf she wanted to put together. using a screwdriver would take too long so cait used a power tool, haha what a sight she was. we gave up trying to the put the shelves on and left that to her mom. we were supposed to have soccer but it poured all day so i went home at like 4:30. i read for the rest of the night. The next couple of days were all boring, all spent reading and talking on here and lounging around. tonight i have soccer but i know it won't get rained out, it's beautiful outside right now!!!! I do believe tonight we are gonna go lift. FINALLY, we've been trying to get into the gym for like ever. we made sure to pick a day when the guys weren't go to be there. no one would like that.

Have a wonderful day everyone!!!!!!!!

Leighann :/

haha i have plans tonight :) i'm staying at caity a's house with a few of my girls, then staying at her house all day til volleyball!!! how exciting right? i know.
haha i have no clue how i forgot this but i went to the drive-in for the first time on saturday. how pathetic is that, i'm almost 16 and i live 2 miles from the drive-in. my friend cait f. took me and ana and saw dodgeball and spiderman 2. i have to say i haven't laughed that hard in such a long time. haha we were in the snack area just standing there when cait goes and stands by the door trying to look all sexy and what not. this one guy looks at her and she's like what, whatchu lookin at. haha he tells her he thinks she's crazy, she says she thinks he's crazy, and it's all good fun. BUT then a girl starts talking to the crazy guy and tells him that he needs to tell us to stop. he defends us and says we're only having fun. but then the crazy guy's sister/girlfriend,, i dk what she is.. comes over and starts yelling at us, saying we need to shut the F up cuz that's her mother... WE DIDN'T EVEN TALK TO HER MOTHER.. but she thought we were laughing at her cuz while cait was being stupid, ana and i were laughing histerically. when this girl came over, ana ran away while cait and i just stood there with these dumb looks on our face. when they left, the three of us stayed in the snack area cuz cait thought they were outside waiting for her. then the crazy guy came back in and cait went over and explained we were doing anything wrong and to tell the others she's sorry. haha ana and i were laughing the whole time.. then there's matt, the working boy, standing behind the counter wondering what the heck is going on. finally we made a run for the van... we were all the way at the front! but my night doesn't end there!!!!!
When we were getting ready to leave, cait walks toward the drivers side of the van. we heard her talking on her way there and saw her walking and stuff. then all of a sudden we don't see cait, and we don't hear talking. we around the side of the van and there she was on her hands and knees with her head in the ground. turns out she walked into the side-view mirror!!!!!! haha ana and i just stood there laughing for a while before we asked if she was okay. omg it was fricken hilarious.
after taking ana home, cait and i went back to her house where i kicked her butt at every video game we played. we didn't go to bed til like 4 which is crazy man. haha that was one of the best nights :P

now i am getting ready for soccer and a night with the ladiessssss

goodnight everyone!!!!!!!!

today has been pretty boring. nothing GOOD ever happens to me, i swear i'm cursed. tonight i have soccer- really looking forward to hanging with my friends whom i haven't seen in a while. finally got to talk to Kyle today. he's been in arizona for a while and NEVER returned any of my phone calls :P. little loser. i'm so excited about volleyball tomorrow night in coop. we met these really nice girls from cooperstown, they're really a lot of fun, let's hope this time they don't have colored hands!
Come to think of it i haven't talked to my friends in a long time, even on here. that's kind of weird... OH WELL
For some reason it feels like i'm in a good mood, who knows why. i shouldn't be in a good mood since my life couldn't be any worse right now. all i do is get yelled at by my parents lately about stupid stuff but the worse part is that there's no longer anyone there to talk to about it :( -- not that he would really want to hear my sob stories anyway... actually, no one would
Hope you all are having a goood day

well today i'm going shopping in binghamton for a while. I can't remember the last time i went shopping, it's been so long. Hopefully i will come home to some plans for tonight, been a while since i've had something to do. I talked to him today and get this... he said something first! i totally wasn't expecting that. I think our convo went pretty well even though it was kinda short. Mos def not getting my hopes up for anything, but hopefully we won't be apart for that long. haha i know deep down he doesn't want to be apart for a long time either, right? yes yes. have a wonderful day everyone and enjoy this beautiful weather!


:) ME

well turns out i found something to do tonight.. i went out to dinner and caught a movie. A CINDERELLA STORY, great movie--- dang the girl in the movie is soooo lucky! i didn't put up an away message before i left cuz i didn't feel like it and when i came back FIVE people had IMed me. FIVE! how come no one ever IMs me when i'm actually AT my computer. jeez. well the one thing i didn't come home to was a reassurance that we were only on a break, which is something i really needed, it would have made my day. oh i love him so gosh darn much, i don't know what i'm gonna do without him.


"Well there's nothing I can do
I only wanna be with you
You can call me your fool
Only wanna be with you"

Have a good night everyone!

well today has been just like the last... still on a break with my "boyfriend"- i have a feeling it's not a break and that it's officially over. all i do is cry, he doesn't know how much i want to be with him no matter how hard i try. back in february i kissed another guy, but i'm NEVER EVER going to do something like that again but i seem to have the name "once a cheater always a cheater"- i promise i won't ever do it again. i'm so in love with him, i can't help it, i just wished he felt the same way about me
My friends have been the absolute greatest through this whole thing, I love them to death!!
Tonight i have absolutely nothing to do so i'll probably write in here again unless someone hits me up with some plans
