10:45 pm oh. my. god.
i cannot belive how amazing the new coldplay album is.
absolutely amazing.
in other news, i was coming in tonight and i decided to move really really slowly coming up my front steps because i wanted to see if i could make it to my front door without the sensor light coming on. it took me like 5 minutes to get up my steps, but i made it the whole way without the light going on. i was so happy. then i got inside and realized that the sensor part wasn't even turned on. i was so sad.

11:31 pm - one giant clusterfuck i went over to chris's around 8 and we decided to go mini golfing.
we started by going to get gas for chris's car, and right when i got in i noticed how absotlutely rancid his car smelled because of the previous night's food fight. so what happens when a car smells bad? you buy some car fresheners. brooks had the worst selection of car fresheners imaginable, and they all smelled like baby powder. johnny's had none whatsoever, so chris got gas at vasco while i went into shell to see their car fresheners -- a much nicer selection...or so i thought. i bought 'vanillanova' thinking it would slightly resemble chris's previous 'vanilla,' which was a wonderful scent. i got two of them because i wanted one for my car. so i open up one of the 'vanillanovas,' took a deep whiff, and almost threw up. it could have possibly been the worst thing i have ever smelled in my life. then we heard tiny dancer on the radio and i was happy. i love that song. we still had one un-opened car freshener so we went back to shell and swapped for a different scent. i thought we should have chose 'leather,' but chris insisted on 'freedom' because he liked the picture of the eagle on it. loser. so we get outside, open up 'freedom' and it was even worse than the other one. it smelled like soap. only terrible smelling soap. the kind of soap that if you were in the shower and you picked up this soap, you would put it down and take a soapless shower before using it. who wants their car to smell like soap anyway? honestly. so we could have easily ditched the car fresheners at the gas station, but instead of wasting our money we put all of them on the mirror and drove off to cvs feeling rather lightheaded because of the overwhelming stenches that mixed together with each other and the original stench to form a monster stench that got inside of our brains and depleted our brain cells at a rapid pace.
i never thought i could talk for so long about car fresheners.
cvs was yet another failure, so after wasting an hour on car fresheners we decided that it was finally time to go mini-golfing. we made it to richardson's in record time and blasted bananas in the parking lot. we saw kelly, bidgood, carreri, pat, and brinch when we got there. they had all been playing before we got there, but none of them had any clubs or balls. that's because they broke all of their clubs and threw them into one of the ponds on the course. we started playing and they left us alone for a while, but they eventually came back and threw chris's ball in the volcano. they left after some more torment, and chris and i finished the round with one ball.
we finished around 10:15, looked at the prices of ice cream, then left to go to soc's to visit ananas on her first night back at work. kristen, caitlin, and alley were there when we arrived, but they left shortly. i didn't want to get any ice cream because i had two pints of ben & jerry's waiting for me back home, but i couldn't resist. i got a mocha chip and chris got the usual, only they weren't free because her stupid supervisor was there. we didn't stay for too long, because we had to go meet laura at brooks. we were only at brooks for like five minutes, but it was a hilarious five minutes.
so we left there and started to head home, when we saw a group of kids gathered on the side of the street. i stuck my head out the window to yell at them and i realized it was andrew and alex along with steve and friedrich and some other people that i don't know nor care about. friedrich cut his hair and it looks terrible, but i love him anyway. no, it really doesn't look terrible, actually i have no idea how it looks because it was too dark for me to tell. anyway, they had a frisbee, so we pulled over and played frisbee with them in the school parking lot for a while. then blake showed up, we played some more frisbee, and we went home.
and now i'm eating some more ice cream.
it was one giant clusterfuck of people and places.
but i still wish i was in hartford. Current Mood: hyper Current Music: smashing pumpkins

10:07 pm when we first got back from italy, i felt deep hatred and loathing for america, melrose, or pretty much anything that was not italy or something related to italy. after spending the remainder of april vacation mostly with people who also took part in the exchange, i realized that i was not the only person who hated everyone and everything here, and that made me feel a little bit better and slightly more open to things in this country. i don't know if my parents took offense or not to my displeasure of my house and the rest of the western hemisphere, but i think they understood that they could never understand. i like it when people understand that they will never understand unless they were there. which many people weren't and i had to accept that in order to return to society and not become a hermit. my first major step was when tony and juliana and i got lunch with alex and andrew. that was cool, because they also were not happy to be back from their trip to england, so we all wallowed in our misery together. not really, but i like the way that sounds. that weekend was spent finishing journals for italian at chris's house with whoever cared to join us for the evening. then came the inevitable: school. it was a painful experience, although not quite as bad as i expected. it was more boring and bland than anything else. the worst part was when people would ask me how italy was and like where did you go and did you get trashed every night and was it fun. fuck off, honestly. i'm sorry, i do mean what i say, but not the way it sounds. i guess what i'm trying to say is that it's fucking obvious that it would be fun, and i'm not going to try to tell you what we did every night because you would think it was the most boring thing in the world because it wasn't even the things we did that were the best part, but it was the people we were with. moving on from that little rant, the first school day back to school went by faster than i thought it would. i barely put a dent in my make-up work, but that's okay. the rest of the week wasn't bad either, which i found to be quite surprising.
this weekend was pretty awesome, it started by watching snatch at tony's house with tony and andrew. it was a wicked cool movie once the different plots started coming together. then tony went to work and i spent the rest of the afternoon hanging with andrew. it was a fun afternoon, but it got better that night when we met joslin and ray and their group of friends up at mount hood for a night filled with excitement. excitement that would have been non-existent if joslin hadn't somersaulted into a pond at 9:30 at night for $39. yeah, i'm going to leave it at that. saturday was good. i went to the library with chris and we had a rip-roarin good time in the non-fiction section. that was followed by mothers for lunch, and then we parted ways so he could go to work. i spent most of the afternoon pretending to read about richard nixon. then juliana came over around 8 and we rented ocean's 12. it's so different from ocean's 11, and in some ways it was much better, but in some ways it wasn't at all. after juliana left i watched "dive into the bermuda triangle," which was on from like 11-1, but i fell asleep around 12ish, and i didn't wake up to go to my room until around 5. today was my sister's 21st birthday! you know what that means.....6 months until i'm 18!!! good stuff. so there was a bit of a party here with the nonni, and then i went to best buy with chris so he could buy a portable storage card thing-a-ma-bobber for his powerpoint presentation. i ended up using the rest of my gift card to buy american beauty, which only cost $10! =0 it was amazing. then we went home, got mike, and the three of us traveled to soc's for some ice cream. we got back, went to my house to do an italian worksheet, danced to the banana song, compared penis sizes, and they went home. time well spent.

03:07 pm - yep yeah so i should really be finishing up my history essay or doing english or math homework, buuuuut i'm not. instead, i'm sitting here, thinking about how much i'll be in the airport in 24 hours waiting to board the plane to italy. yeeeah, i don't think i'm as excited as i should be. all day people were asking me if i was psyched for italy and all day i'd just be like "yeah, can't wait." it's not because i'm not excited, i just don't think the shock that i'm going to italy for two weeks and missing 6 days of school has really hit me yet, and i don't think it will until we actually get on the plane. but yeah, i cannot wait.
got tickets to dave matthews at the tweeter center in july! second night, of course. i would have nothing else. the seats are worse than i've ever had, but i don't really care because i'm going. ticket prices were higher than ever this year, $57 each, plus an outrageous service charge from lame-o ticketmaster, making them $68 a piece. sooo ridiculous, but sooo worth it. i wanna see oasis on june 24, also at the tweeter center. lawn seats are all that's left, and they are $31 each, which is not bad including the service charge. let me know if you want in. i'm not promising anything, though.
happy birthday to maria and da today, and as i just found out, my little cousin C.J. who was just born this morning! =O i wasn't expecting that.

12:37 pm - buona pasqua! it's easter! i don't know why that's so exciting, all it really means is that the three-day weekend is almost over and there's school again tomorrow. but hey, who really cares about school when you're going to italy in 11 days? yeah, that's what i thought.
this weekend was good, especially last night when juliana, kristen, andrew, and tony came over to make puppy chow and watch the incredibles! (for those of you who call it something else, puppy chow is chex covered in melted chocolate and peanut butter and confectionary sugar. soooooo good.) the movie was incredible! literally! the stupid movie store only had VHS left, and i found out after i rented it that tony owns it on DVD. blah. oh well. the dynamic jew-o showed up at my house looking for something to do around 11:30 after everyone left, but i turned them away because i still had to conquer the tsunami disaster that was my kitchen sink.
so this morning i woke up and nobody was home. my dad was skiing, and my mom was driving my sister to the airport because she's going to dublin and paris for spring break. i would be jealous, but ya know, i'm going to italy in 11 days. so my mom got home and gave me....i mean showed me what the easter bunny gave me, which was a giant solid dark chocolate bunny, and a bunch of travel stuff for italy, because i'm going to italy in 11 days. in case you didn't know.

10:12 pm this weekend was pretty much awesome. i don't know why, really. wait....maybe it wasn't. i can't remember. oh well. anyway friday was crazy. i went into boston with chris, dave, juliana, tony, morgan, andrew, diana, alex, and rachel. and we met jeff in town. so the night started off with a certain two people getting caught while sneaking onto the subway, and being forced to leave oak grove. the two young delinquents then proceeded to drive to malden, where they claim they could not find the entrance to the parking lot at the T if their lives depended on it. they eventually found a super fitness center, parked, and ran to the T to meet up with everyone else who got off the train and was waiting for them at the platform. so we fiiiinally got to boston, where we walked along mass ave until we reached newbury street. we then spent an hour and seventeen minutes of fun fun fun in urban outfitters, walked to newbury comics, and then spent a whole forty three minutes of browsing there, totaling two hours for a mere two stores. by then, the night was over, so we went to the candy store, which is open four freakin hours later than condom world. what. the. fuck. so anyway we got to the subway, had a slight setback on the green line, and eventually arrived home. it was the fun.
saturday i awoke to snow falling, which meant i couldn't go to amesbury with like everyone in the world. oh well. i had fun, nonetheless. i hung out with chris and daveo all day and night, and dave's good friend gordon joined us for a little while, too.
sarah came home today! shock? yes. she has a paper to write and she thinks she can get more work done here than at school. today also happened to be my grandparents someodd anniversary, so we had a lobster dinner. wicked cool.
stupid third season of seinfeld is either out of stock or priced at $39.99 at best buy every time i call. the only reason why i keep calling is because i have $27 left on a gift card to use there, so i'm waiting for a sale to bring it down to $29.99.... there's no way i'm paying $40 now that it's been out for so long.
also...
i've been wondering why so few people have been talking to me online lately (not to say that i'm overly popular or anything), and i realized that the reason might just be that i changed my screen name and forgot to tell everyone. we got rid of aol way back in december and ever since then i haven't been able to use my old screen name, because the it was the same as my aol screen name and the account is gone. soooo i was faced with a decision. come up with something totally new and fresh and creative!....ooor stick with the basics and change some numbers so i could still be recognized when i instant message people that don't know my new screen name. so i did that. and now i am known as bobs0011 to all the world. kinda lame, two new numbers, but it's nice and easy. anyway, add me if you would so desire. no hard feelings if you choose not to... just make sure you lock all your doors. joke.
i'm also planning on buying a john mayer shirt. all the ones that i've looked at are really funny. and if i get a lot of money from shoveling, then a poster, too. only problem is i need to find wall space. maybe i'll randomly stick my radiohead poster on my ceiling. that would be interesting.

04:23 pm yeah. the day after christmas vacation is probably the second best day of the year. followed by the day after february vacation. which is followed by the day after april vacation. the best day of the year, obviously, of course, seeing as how it goes without saying, is the day after summer vacation! woo hoo. anyway, vacation is over, and i. am. pumped. well, not really, but this vacation kinda sucked. it was okay, but i spent many a night trying to find something to do instead of actually doing something. whatev. christmas was good, i got some pretty cool stuff, including ish for my darkroom that i'm putting in my basement! that'll be awesome.
i took juliana into boston for her birthday on thursday and we got dinner and went to the the trans-siberian orchestra at the fleet center. prrrrobably the best live show that i've ever been to. it was so insane. they are so much better live than on the cds, not to say that their cds are bad, but they're just that good in concert. they did a nice little rendition of stairway and immigrant song, and toward the end they played some of beethoven's ninth, with balls (hehe) of fire coming up from behind the stage that were so strong that you could feel the heat on your face from your seat. i'm definitely going back next year.
anyway new year's eve was all right, i went to richie's house with juliana and we watched napoleon dynamite which has got to be one of the funniest movies of all time. i didn't get to celebrate crunkmas with the gang, so that was saddening, but hey, what can ya do. made up holidays can be celebrated any time of the year.
i'm planning a barnes & noble day this saturday, so let me know if you want to come spend like 7 hours at barnes & noble if you have nothing better to do. not that there are many better things to do than that. come in your own car if you feel like coming but you don't want to stay the whole time. it should be awesome. barnes & noble is awesome.

09:43 pm - and don't burn the day away so much for a snow day. it's nearly 10 and it's not doing much more than raining. stupid weather forecasters. oh well. maybe if it gets really cold then it'll be icy and we'll have a delay. that would be chill. no pun intended. this weekend wasn't bad. i had a fun day saturday when i called sam to go in town. we went in at like one-ish to meet andrew in cambridge because he was at a show at the middle-east. sam and i saw this insane flute player while waiting for the red line, and when i say insane i mean he was insane, not his flute playing skills. he would start singing about going out for a night, and watching rudolph fly, and then he'd furiously play his flute, only he was terrible at it. then he started screaming mommy a bunch of times, which was when sam and i thought it best to board the train. so we got to central square and met andrew, who was staying for the rest of the show. so sam and i went off for a while on our own, around central where we saw a wheelchair spectacular, then over to harvard square, where not much was happening until we tried to take the red line back to central. there was a fire or a derailing of one of the trains, so everyone was shuttled to random places, instead of taking the train to where they wanted to go. so we got on this shuttle bus, along with 75 other people, and we surprisingly ended up back in central, where we found andrew in a crowd of people. it was pretty crazy. so we walked into boston from cambridge, and took the orange line home. i got a thing on my windshield saying that i did not pay the $3 for parking so they were going to make me pay $3.75, which is bullshit because sam watched me put his money into the slot. whatev. oh yeah there was the malden swim meet friday after school. that was good too. we won. it was tiring, but good. everybody who is anybody was there, only it was nothing compared to last year's meet at malden against malden catholic. good times.

i hate my computer. i feel like infecting it with as many viruses as possible, and going on as many porn sites as i can just to get it loaded up with spyware so it can be tortured with pop-ups until it can't take it anymore and it just decides to end it's existence by exploding in a burst of flowers. i only say flowers because i think flames would burn my house down, and plus flowers would make my room smell nice.

10:02 pm so last night my parents were talking about personal days and sick days and taking days off with pay or without pay and all that fun stuff. then i got to thinking. if people who hold jobs get a certain number of personal days, why can't i? and since i couldn't come up with a good enough reason why i can't, i confronted my mom and told her proudly that i was taking a personal day. she laughed at me, and told me she'd think about it. after i presented my well prepared list of reasons (i'm sorta sick, i have a shitload of reading to do, i haven't missed a day yet this year, there is nothing important going on in school now, etc.), she had no option but to let me take the day off. so i went to sleep last night planning on waking up around 9:30 or 10, but i woke up at 7:30 because chris called me to see if i was going to school. blah. oh well. i got out of bed around 8, made some pancakes, then got to reading. from page 200, i made it to page 275 by 11:00, then took a break to watch some seinfeld. i started reading again at 11:30, made it to page 300 or so by 1:00, then broke for lunch and more seinfeld. from 2-3 i read to page 350, then fell asleep for 2 hours. it was a good time. i actually enjoyedmy alone time. it was fun. turns out i chose a good day to not go to school. i didn't miss too much, or at least i don't think i did, and there was almost no hw assigned tonight. i am content. and still kinda sick. and i still have 250 pages of reading left.

10:24 am yesterday was fun. i totally stressed over this huge pre-cal test all day because i just got a 78 on a quiz two days ago which meant i had to do well on the test so the 78 would get dropped. i had the test last block, and i stayed after for a half hour working on one goddamn problem...turns out that was the only one i got wrong. the 97 made my day. i went home after that and went for a run. yeah, im just as surprised as you are. i dont really know how far i went, maybe i'll clock the distance in my car if i remember. it was quite refreshing, although not as refreshing as the shower i took after. then i went to andrew's and everyone was there, so we went downtown to get something to eat. downtown was madness. there were so many freakin little kids all waiting for santa to come. it mad me angry. once all the stupid kids were gone there was still stuff going on.....mix 98.5 was there giving out free samples of chai tea. tony, juliana, and i got some while alex and andrew were eating their calzone. we went back for seconds, and the lady was like 'do you want regular or decafe?' and of course we all wanted regular, so she went to the trunk of the car and got us three boxes of chai tea! it was so awesome. then we went back to andrew's and they got some recipes and we went to melissa's for a little bit. eh, i didn't really like it there. we left shortly, and ended up sitting in alex's car writing inappropriate things on his windows. we finally realized how bored we were, so what's the best thing to do when you're bored? why, call jeff of course! only problem was jeff was on the corner of gooch and east foster, not at his house. turns out that wasn't really a problem at all, because we went to the corner of gooch and east foster anyway. there were soo many people there, and it was probably the best party of the night. despite the cold, it was a wicked good time. we need to hang out with them more.
i think my mom ordered chemicals and paper and a safe light for my darkroom yesterday! if she didn't then she will soon. or she'll have me do it. i'm totally setting it up over vacation, and i'll be able to use it after christmas once i have everything i need.
i think i'm going to go have some tea now. maybe i'll call andrew soon. although i should be reading my book. oh well, andrew is more fun than any book. if andrew reads this before i call him, he'd better call me.....or else.....

11:44 pm - "who wants to be a survivor?" today was the most worthless day of school ever. we had to be in school at the usual absurd hour only to find that the three classes that we actually had either consisted of no work or were interrupted by picture taking for the yearbook. i played poker with some people in photo, and i won $3.50 before ms. melito realized what we were doing and threatened to take the cards away. either that or kill us. at 10:30ish was the pep rally, so naturally andrew and i found better ways to spend our time. that included making a getaway in mal mal's car, going to mcdonald's, going to wakefield high to see if they were also having a pep rally, hiking in the woods, and searching for dead possum skulls. if that's not a good time, then i don't know what is. after that i had to go take care of some car insurance business (that makes me sound so sophisticated when i'm really so not). i met up with everyone at andrew's, we did nothing for quite some time, then the group was multiplied by one half, so tony, andrew, and i braved the storm and got some pita bread. we went back to andrew's and played poker for an hour or so. my lowest point was when i was down $5 to tony and even with andrew after his owing me $3, but i came back strong and finished the last hand with a flush that left me even with tony and up $4.50 on andrew. it was mad leet or whatever. then some people came, some people left, and alex, andrew, juliana and i ended up eating burritos and playing taboo. it was an awesome time. then like half the world had guitar lessons so juliana and i went to my house and watched i love the 90's and whose line for the rest of the night. overall, i'd say it was a good day.
sarah's home for pilgrim day. melrose/wakefield football game tomorrow.

09:29 pm - yawn... not only does that yawn indicate that this entry will be boring and have absolutely no point, but it also represents the fatigue that has been plaguing me for the last couple weeks. i've been staying up too late each night and having to wake up excruciatingly early every morning to go to school. what is up with school? well, it's not even school that's the problem. i would not object to waking up around 7 each morning to go to school for 6 hours if only i wasn't up until 1:00 doing homework the night before. homework is death. it's like going through the school day all over again once you get home. we learn enough in school, why not cut back a little on the teaching time during each class and take the second half of class to have us do work on our own to see if we understand, and if we don't then we ask a question, and if we do then we finish the work in class and no homework is assigned and everyone is happy. now i'm not saying we should be doing research papers or book reports or articles in school, those can be left for home. it's the tedious, pointless, nightly homework that really bothers me, because it's that which keeps me up past my hours of proper functioning every night. i have actually learned quite a bit this year already, and i must say, none of it came from doing homework. sorry for bitching and moaning about eveything that you already know, but i was bored. oh yeah, maybe i could've been doing some homework instead.
