notorious LRO

---2005---
january - lots of hanging out at the hill street house readjusting back to small town life in bend becoming friends with bethany and finding someone who shared my love of the OC
february - eating of 7-11 hot dogs and a 22 ounce of fat tire for valentines dinner at the hill street house only to find myself at jesses around 11pm and the next day getting dumped. probably the best thing to happen to me in 05. the true beginning of OC nites.
march - turning 23 and realizing that i was now a victim of hangovers true ones. spent my entire birthday in bed sick and then dinner at scanlons then back in bed. started working at tmobile and back to school on the same day.
april - sudden loss of my uncle steve, trip to california to visit for the wrong reasons.
may - finally was done with the seven weeks of training at work and not much else.
june - school ended and a much needed vacation to california. met my brother's now fiance. spent good times with stacy, tim, natasha. the month my hair died.
july - was supposed to be back to work for the fourth but got stuck in california and who could really argue that... not me. crystal lost my keys in her car. high school reunion a few weeks later the last time i saw crystal.
august - work work work and lost all my summer fun but had a few good visits with my cousins and reunited with my love chelsea.
september - unexpectadly lost one of my best friends crystal. broke my heart and still not fully recovered. nothing worse than hugging the mother of a girl who was murdered and seeing a husband come home from iraq not to be greeted by his wife only to be speaking at her services. started school back up.
october - stacy and family came to visit us in oregon. bout damn time i never thought the rest of that family would come to the northwest. halloween party in portland glad to have my cousin erin join me.
november - gave tmobile my two week notice went back to shojis.
december - new york... amazingness. bright city big lights so much to see. saw a lot. christmas back in bend. yet another christmas that wasnt white. drank way too much champagne and beer.




so this is the new year.
and i don't feel any different.
the clanking of crystal
explosions off in the distance - in the distance.

so this is the new year
and I have no resolutions
for self assigned penance
for problems with easy solutions

so everybody put your best suit or dress on
let's make believe that we are wealthy for just this once
lighting firecrackers off on the front lawn
as thirty dialogues bleed into one

i wish the world was flat like the old days
then i could travel just by folding a map
no more airplanes, or speedtrains, or freeways
there'd be no distance that can hold us back.

there'd be no distance that could hold us back
there'd be no distance that could hold us back

so this is the new year
so this is the new year
so this is the new year
so this is the new year

The sequel, which is planned for a 2006 release, will show fans what has changed for the characters now that their high school days are over. The movie's original stars - Molly Ringwald, Andrew McCarthy and John Cryer - have all agreed to appear

title says it all

i love getting up early and coming to school at 9:30am, walking into class at 10am to find no one from my actual class is in there and that i came an hour early. FREAKIN' IDIOT!

text messages from tena rule! i should be cleaning my apartment but ill save that for another time. work was slow last nite. in one of my tips was a one dollar bill that reads "happiness, maybe, one cannot buy, but one can buy a great sandwich!" i think im keeping this dollar.

so this morning i get in my car and put the bottle of rum in my trunk. oh man my trunk... last month when my mom and i went down to california for my grandmother's funeral we had gotten some chocolate chip cookies and various other junk food at the store. we decided itd be a good idea to have some cookies and such to eat while watching tv in the hotel room. well we had putten the leftover cookies in the trunk while we were in california. i forgot about them in my trunk. actually i think i was being lazy and just didnt take them out. so this morning i open up my trunk. CRUSHED COOKIES EVERYWHERE! the chocolate chips were sticking to my plastic trunk mat and the boxes of dishes in my trunk didnt help the mess. going around corners im sure they probably crushed the cookies more so. so for the last half an hour i cleaned out the trunk of my car. fucking cookies.
