The last week to do it up [26 Jan 2006|03:25pm]
[ mood | blah ]

January 23rd - the word of the day is Hammered

So we went to the Fox for a shot and a beer. which turned into i dont even know how many beers that came out of this nite. The best figure we had was around 8 each. Lynnea and I were celebrating our thesis acomplishments. Ken the bartender from Red's was hanging out with us and Jeremy whose a Fox bouncer was drinking as well. They kept buying us drinks when ours ran out. I managed to talk alot in my drunkeness, but prolly the best night of jterm. I was the one who slept on the couch at the Fox and in Lynneas bathroom for a while. Thats all im gonna say.

January 24th - Its just not the same without the boys

If you recall or scroll down to the 17th, the previous best day, which got taken over by the 24th. But anyway tuesday is Tuesday night dollar drafts. We went to Red's after Rach's and we had a beer. Then we decided to get ourselves a piece of pizza. We headed to Sal's for a slice then called it a night.

January 25th - Wicked Weird Wednesday

Sometimes its better just not to know. We went to Red's had a brew then headed to the Fox. The Fox was bad when Ken and his friend Ned showed up. Both bought us a bunch of shots, which i didnt take, but lynnea did. He gave us money to get a cab to Red's tonight. Somehow after seeing body shots on the bar it was time to book it. So we did to todays where it was just meatball and pat playing pool, but i did meet the infamous Logan. Then i drive us home and it was bed time.

BP and Football... [22 Jan 2006|03:50pm]
[ mood | optimistic ]

January 14th- Saturday Nights all right for fighting...

Well, this was by far the busiest night thus far. We began at A5, with a beer and watched Ty's little sister play BP wasted and then sing into a lamp, and it was only 830. After a beer we made our way to Rach's for a lil BP. We played for a bit and hung out drinkin. After we hung out with them for a while, Lynnea, Chuck and I made our way down to Phi Sig for H. Mitch's Birthday. We ran back into Ty and his sister which was hilarious. After a while we left and took Chuck back to campus to get his car and we went to Red's and him and Will and Dan met us at the bar. I was sitting with Lynnea and some of the soccer freshman. The the guy came back and we sat and talked and drank for a while. One of the soccer girls started to fall asleep in her drink and got sick i guess. Willie drank her drink when she was gone. Lynnea left and it was me and the boys. After the bar close we took them home and Chuck stayed at D5. this was night 7 in a row.

January 15th - Football Sunday

This was by far the best football Sunday EVER. Nicole went home to see her sister off, but Chuck and I layed around all day watching the Seahawks game and then the Carolina game. Thats alot of Football, but so worth it. Ie never had so much fun just watching football and talking. And those are two of my favorite things i might add. The big highlight was Tom Brady losing. I HATE NE but i hate Tom Brady more. enough said. After spending all day laying around with a cute guy and his mom calling to make sure he wasnt dead, it was time to actually do soemthing with my life. So i took a shower and finished watchin football...

January 16th - MLK Jr. Day and boy did we celebrate

Another entertaining night at Rach's. We broke out the flip cup table. 4 lax girls versus 5 non-laxers. Well we started man down in survivor flip cup, which stinks cause someone already had to do two cups. No big deal right, until i pour some of my drink into the cup and I missed the MASSIVE piece of ice that was lurking in the bottom of my cup. Well i was the 1st one up and i had the ice up, ooops. I was drinking shooting orange stuff out of my nose and flipping the cup. Then i spit the ice out and went on with the game. I was second voted off cause i was done drinking after the nose incident. As we were leaving keys started flying so i grabbed Lynneas hand and then let go, but she still managed to hit me in the face. it hurt but was funny. From Rach's we went downtown, we hit up the Fox on the way to Today's.

January 17th - $1 drafts, kicked the Honey Brown

We made a small stop at Willies to see if he was alive, and we were confronted with oreos and chili all over the house, and a stove that would stop clicking. But he offered us a shot of SoCo, and the bonus was he had clean cups, SWEET! After that we went DT. Red's has dollar Draft mugs on Tuesdays. Absolutely Fabulous, might i add, doesnt matter what kind of beer, thats why its awesome. I bought the first round for the 4 of us, Chuck, Myself, Lynnea and Matt Schulty(sp?), we drank for a while and chilled at the bar. then we took Matt home and called it a night. Every night keeps getting better and better.

January 18th - A Wild Wednesday of Sorts

Tonight was the Fox night. We were runninga lil late Lynnie and I, but we met Matt and Chuck at the bar and we had a good night, Still havent made it to the Rail yet. We tried. After we drank a while at the Fox we went to the Sip, but it was jammed, on our way we ran into, rather we got tackled by Heather Mal and Crissy. Lynnea got the biggest hit from Heather and Mal and Crissy jumped on my hip and i carried her down towards the Sip. after that we walked in then back out cause it was soo crowded. From there we went to the Pub. We played this bowling game, i got 2nd by a pin. So it was like 1st - Chuck, 2nd - me, 3rd - lynnea and 4th - Matt. Almsot a sweet victory. Ive no decided that i greatly enjoy yeungling and honey brown, more than ever before. Apparently im growning up...lol. After the game we meet Lynnea and Matt back at her house for some high lifes. The champagne of beers no less. Chuck and i left and went back here and cuddled up for our usual 3 hours of talking til we force ourselves to go to sleep.

January 19th - Hmm... its been a week 11 for 12

Good ole Thursday nite at Rachels. I got sketched with a high life in hand by stacy. Chuck came with us but then went to Will's cause it was his GF's birthday. Matt drank quite a bit i guess, so Chuck took him over and by the time he got back to Rach's we gave up on going DT, but we had a good nite drinkin. We remembered all those good times. It's getting to be a slight bit sad because its almost over, but there is so much ahead that im just waiting for. So after a good night of memories, we came back to the TH's and Chuck and i went to sleep on the futon after a couple hours of talking and watching random stuff on MTV and i got headbutted 2 times.

January 20th - Num3ers and operation kidnap

After making dinner for Chuck and Greg, Chuck and I hung out for a while before he went to a party at Kayla's, which i remember saying dont get too drunk, well wasted was more like it... It was pretty funny, if I do say so myself. While he was at the party, Lynnea drank and watched Num3ers a show on CBS where this guy figures out crime with like calculus and crazy stuff. I proofread my thesis section, which i am so far behind on, I feel even though I'm not. I called Chuck once the show was over and he was pretty drunk and he asked us to come kidnap him. As he was entering Lynnea's car, his firends Farah and Fitz attacked but it was hilarious. We drove off and went to Today's to see Jo and meatball and Pat. We had a beer each and ot yelled at for not coming in most of the week. Well its hard when its not as busy as it usd to be. When we were there Matt met us with his friend Max. Chuck had the best response, "If I were to wake up and be tied to a chair and be tortured, id picture it being that guy." enough said. We sat over at the table and hung out for a lil bit then we headed to the Fox. Matt pulled out the Camcorder. It was cute holding drunkie up all night, especially when he apologized for it every 30 seconds. They drank some more and then it was getting near time to close. Matt was chillin withthe owner and we didnt get kicked out for a while but it did take time to get him out of the bar. Once we left we drove to sals but it was packed and some guy asked us if we wore low cut shirts to get attention, which was sketchy. the line was too long so we left to go back to the TH's to eat. I brought over some food to Matt and Lynnea but Chuck was really drunk so I came back and we went to sleep.

January 21st - Chuck's Last night :(

Well not much went down last night. We drank beer at Lynnea's time jsut flies when your sittin around talking. All of a sudden it was like 145 and it was too late to go. We had a good time. Chuck and i came over to my house to go to sleep. We were laying around talking when there was a knock at the door. I answered the door and it was Ty, with some Frozen perogies and he asked for our vacuum again. He brought snacks, though they were frozen. So I layed back down and we were just falling asleep with the doorbell rings. This very drunk kid was ringing out doorbell thinking we were the house he needed to be in. Well it wasnt. so i sent him in the direction of A5 but these 2 girls were walking across the lawn so i asked if they knew him and they did so they took him. So finally its quiet, til greg comes home. He had to step outside for a smoke then he went to bed. At this point we were wide awake talking again cause of all of the sleep interruptions going on. We cuddled down to sleep and i got the trecherous headbutt again and all i could do was laugh, and i laughed alot. I am lucky i got a thick skull otherwise id would have been down for the count. We finally fell asleep after all the commotion. 13 for 14.

January 22 - Time to Say See ya...

Football day is rather sad as I sit here and write this. Chuck had to go back to school today, but i must admit this has been prolly the best two weeks ive had in a lOOOOOOOOOng, and the lack of sleep and lack of work getting done was so worth it. And by far, this comes a close second as the best Jterm ever. Nothing could ever beat Hawaii, thats just impossible. I've learned alot this week, dont take time for granted, thats for sure. We'll just have to see how this goes from here on out, but it can only get better from here right? I am gonna cross my fingers cause when words like Perfect and P diddy get thrown around alot, its gotta mean something good. Before I get more sentimental I will close this week by sayin, Why did it have to end?

Week 1 [21 Jan 2006|08:06pm]
[ mood | amused ]

addendum to January 10th - Pat Hanley now named the Hamburger Nazi for not allowing us to eat in his car.


January 12th - Poke her? I hardly know her...

After an uneventful poker night on campus, I called up my new friend, Chuck. I drove down and met him and a couple other people(Landon and Will), outside of the Fox. Red's wasnt open yet, but we decided to go pick up some poker chips from Will's house and went to Red's to play. There was me, Chuck, Will, Ryan, Landon and Harold, all around one of the tables playin poker and drinkin. Winner got a beer from everyone, I got 3rd. Ryan won, just beating Harold, the poker rookie. After that we played up the river down the river and then finally settled into that drinking game favorite Asshole. Well I claimed president 5 games in a row, needless to say we stopped playing after that. I invited them all back to D5 but only Will and Chuck came by and Lynnea stopped over to say hello. The guys left and then it was bed time. Not a bad night afterall.

January 13th - Friday...

Jo's first night tending bar at Today's. I treated Lynnea to a Beer cause Nicole wasnt ready for one yet. And Meatball decided if he gave us some free ones we wouldnt leave the bar. Chuck and his friend Dan aka Fitz met us down there and it turned into a pretty drunk night for myself. I almost started a fight. It was fun cause Pat and Meatball were there and I was hangin out with Chuck. Even the other drunken roommates met us there for a little bit. But they moved in to Red's. As the nite came to a close Chuck, Dan and I went over to the Fox. We closed the nite there and Chuck drove Dan and I home, and Chuck came in and we sat and talked til all hours.

21 days.. .the journey begins [19 Jan 2006|05:13pm]
[ mood | contemplative ]

January 9th - First Day of Classes

Considering I woke up with the stomach flu and felt like I was on deaths doorstep it made for a great day. By dinner time I at least felt alive, so i volunteered to drive downtown. This nite officially stunk. Not the best by any means, we went to Red's and no one was out. Night 2 ended at Sal's with Matt, Mal, and the Heathers.

January 10th - Back in the Game

D5 was where it began. Julie and Chris has some friends here from home, so we had a little Beer Pong and Flip cup here. Beer Pong went well for Greg and I, but we only really won a game. Flip cup on the other hand, Hartwick beat Little Falls quite badly. Then we moved the party to Red's. I took a ride with Pat and Meatball and everyone else walked. It was a pretty dull nite til McDonalds. Pat had me drive his car cause i wasnt drinking, so off to McDonalds we go. 6 Quarter pounder, no pickles and 5 double cheesburgers, 2 no pickles later our trip to McD's was a success.

January 11th - The Night

Lynnea and I hit Rachel's with her and Stacy in style. We played some pong as usual and then headed downtown. Then the phone rang, and it was the mystery boy from the Fox on sunday night. We all went to Red's and hung out for the rest of the night. We also saw A. Howard and a whole bunch of other fun people out. The night ended with a small kiss by the Fox before the girls and i went home. Eventful but only still the begining.

Jtern 2006 - NO excuses PLay like a Champion [18 Jan 2006|04:58pm]
[ mood | rejuvenated ]

Jterm, the symbolic month in the middle of the school year where you either spend it somewhere getting drunk or having a great time in a foreign land, OR staying Oneonta rotting away. Not that its all that bad but considering a year ago I was on the beaches of Maui and Kauai, instead of spending my days working out and writing another thesis. I'm hoping that most of you would have see wedding crashers by now and there are rules to crashing weddings. Specifically rule #76- No excuses, Play like a champion. This has been adopted as the motto for Jterm, well fitting i might add. Thus my story begins....

Sunday January 8th - The begining of it all
A typical day of coming back and unpacking, until it was decided we were going out. MOst of the group met here for some beer pong and drinkin, then we hit Downtown. We went to the Fox, that is Matt and his friend from home Heather. The rest of the group met us down there and it made for an interesting first nite back afterall. Met this cute guy with a stellar pick up line, "Pretend your my boyfriend." Well guess it worked, more to follow on that later.
The nite ended with a cab ride home and a rather boring nite after that, but it was only the start of something CrAzY! At least i made it DT. Some followed the rule and crashed a lil early.

Jterm 2006 [12 Jan 2006|10:19am]
[ mood | good ]

The most depressing thing about Jterm this year is i spent the last one on the beautiful islands of Hawaii, and im stuck in Oneonta for this one. The only saving grace for this the nice warm temperatures we are having. I'll take the warm weather over the cold, most of the time. I still like a lil snow now and then. Good news is hanging out in Oneonta over Jterm is turing into a pretty decent week so far. 4 for 4 and its only thursday morning. We'll see how it all works out, hopefully better than expected.

nothings ever promised tomorrow today... [04 Jan 2006|12:05am]
[ mood | pissed off ]

Yah, so homes FABULOUS, not... its just as bad as I expected. The situation with things around here make me not happy. Everytime I turn around, something just gets worse. Now im sitting around waiting to find out what the hell is wrong with me. Good as this all is, im glad I know why i am sick, even though I felt better before. At least now as my eyesight gets worse, my cholesteral is through the roof and im tired 24/7 theres a reason. hopefully I'm not dying soon, but you never know. five more months, thats all I have to make it through. May 27th/28th whatever the hell date it is, is only that many weeks away. Then its off to CT, but thats turning into a process I dont want to deal with already because my mom is turning it into such. I dont even know what to add to this anymore, just a shitty start to a new year already, who knows what else is to come...

As if I knew what the hell was going on?!?! [11 Dec 2005|10:36pm]
[ mood | Eh.... ]

So clearly we who live at the Townhouses here on campus live on Wisteria Lane...
I preface this comment with the fact that there is so much drama on a weekly basis we could be our own daytime soap or nitetime drama. So people are breaking up and making up like its their job, and i just sit and watch as a casual observer. People say i have it best of all. all the perks but none of the risks. Problem is no risk, no reward. Perks are nice, dont get me wrong, i enjoy them, but its not the same. Its just not.
Its just about time to go home, than goodness. Not that home doesnt make me unhappy most of the time, its a change. On a positive personal note, i will be moving to Stamford, CT upon graduation. Good or bad that is i dont know. at this point im going by myself, and i dont know what the truth is, as far as what im hearing from others. so im going on the fact that i will be there all alone. Fantastic. that wasnt exactly in the cards, but what am i gonna do, turn down a fantastic job cause i dont want it. well too late now. scary as that sounds, paperwork sent, ACCEPTED.
Ill just keep face i guess. Not much else to do. Just make it through the next 5 months of my life then i start over. Graduation seems so far away, but since fall breezed by im fairly certain ill be snaggin those degrees any day now.
Being so ahead in my life is nice cause i know where im going and what im doing, but it sucks too cause im now stuck in this path for now, then im goving my self 3 years in CT and well see how that goes. Hopefully well and i get promoted and i dont fail the CPA exam, now that i have to take it. at least thats 5 months away...

Another Day another Dollar [03 Nov 2005|08:41pm]
[ mood | Boo on you... ]

Today was the begining of new things. I applied for a job at Tom's of Maine Natural Health and Beauty Aids company. That should be interesting. I'm still waiting to hear from the PWC Stamford office. He said he wanted a phone interview but he must be busy cause i emailed back the times available and still havent heard from him and those times have passed.lol. I have been thinkin alot lately cause obviously ive been helping my roommate out alot, but ive kind of been ignoring myself. Its gonna be ME time for a while. hopefully one one these jobs will work out and i dont have to stress if im that girl in class that isnt signed to a major $$ job like other people are... BTW this should be an interesting rest of the year, but im not quite sure what to expect out of it. I got some not so helpful news the other day that def didnt help things, but you move on...

October break... [26 Oct 2005|04:36pm]
[ mood | drained ]

So... this weekend was interesting. Cough and Cold aisle was my nemisis all weekend and now its the stupid political risk memo. This weekend totally killed all hopes of anything considering the only person i wanted to see didnt show up again. I just keep going back over and over again thinking it will all be different but its not, i am beginning to care less about everything. I dont know what made me think that there was ever a chance in hell of me getting that chose again. ON top of that i go and do stupid stuff and continue to get myself treated like crap, I'm not asking for much, just respect. Oh well back to this memo that has been consuming my day...
