05:22 pm: thought this was funny....

You Know You're From Detroit When...

You pronounce Lahser as "Lasher" You add an "s" on Livernois Your gators match your suit (pink, purple, green, etc.) Your outfit cost more than your car payment You can do any of the 3,000 hustles You take ballroom hustle lessons You put nail tips and acrylic on your toenails You`re familiar with the term "Dress to Impress" You listen to Mason in the morning on 102.7 FM You know the words to "Hello Detroit" by Sammy Davis Jr. You are mad about the Joe Louis Statue (the fist) in the middle of Jefferson You don`t know the difference between winter white and summer white You can buy an outfit, activate your cell phone, and buy lunch at the corner liquor store You get your hair "did" You've had to drive a half a mile to make a left turn (The Michigan Left) You drink Faygo pop You've knocked all the hub caps off your car - and your alignment's totally out of whack You go to the Auto Show to find men / women You own a red leather outfit You shop at Mr. Alan`s to get the 2 for $50 deal You shop at City Slicker shoes and the Broadway You know the words to the City Slicker Shoes and the Broadway radio commercials You own a Navigator or an Expedition and you live with your mother You have a taste for coney dogs. You can dodge potholes without dropping your cell phone. You hate the city, but you'll kick the ass of anyone who disses it. You love Vernor's and Better Made Chips You refer to the city as "the D." You bitch about the need for mass transit but know deep down you'd never use it. You know the given names of all the expressways. People get scared when you say you're from here. You have two cars: One for daily use, and one hooptie for extreme occasions. A six-street intersection with a Michigan turn seems logical. You think Devil's Night is celebrated everywhere. If it's less than 10 blocks away, you drive anyway. You are connected to Eminem by 3 or fewer people. You know Eminem and Kid Rock are not actually from Detroit, but Warren (a suburb) and a small farm town. You have ridden the People Mover. When you pull up to a red light, you roll up your windows.

12:24 pm: haven't updated in years...
So it's been a good lifetime since i've updated my live journal. I've realized that there is nothing in my life worthy of updating the world on and i've instead become accustomed to reading about everyone else's lives... Jamie and i discussed this at dinner last night when she told me she added me to her friends list. I'm glad to see livejournal is taking over our lives.

Yesterday was fun. To start my day off right i left work and went tanning with Ero! It was marvelous! then i went over to Josh's and watched him fix his car and push it down the street. It was glorious.
Then I went to dinner -- Me, Ero and Christy got to buddy's right on time and waited years for the rest of our punctual friends to arrive. We ate a lot of food and took lots of beautiful pictures. We also met a little girl in the bathroom who was very friendly with Allie, and saw everyone who has ever gone to North in their life.Buddy's mac n' cheese = LOVE. i just had to put that out there.

After dinner we went to Lauren's and no one drank. Ok, i lied, my friends were trashed. Hah! I hope they are all feeling well today, I'm sure some are a bit hungover...After saying only 10 people could come to Lauren's, everyone and their mom walked in the front door-- there were so many random people it was great, I hope Christy had fun on her birthday!! Then I left with Josh for a little while and then I went home... It was a good day =)

Overall my life is good right now. I'm having so much fun being a second semester senior-- i just can't wait to get out of high school!! I'm excited for spring break in a couple weeks-- It will be SO much fun, but I'm definitly gonna miss the boyfriend... I'm waiting to hear back from State, the suspense is killing me.. I just want to know already if I'm not in so i can figure out what to do with my life, as of right now I plan to work drive-thru at McDonald's the rest of my life and just not go to college. Talk about successful...

Anyways, It's time for another bowl of cheerios with bananas and milk...later homeboy

06:50 pm: i thought this was funny... ahah

this year has started off on a bad note...
i spent all two weeks of winter break in florida with my family. And not just my immediate family, but everyone in my family. I spent every swim, meal, snack, shopping trip, moment with my cousins, aunts, uncles, grandmas, great uncle and aunt, second cousins, mom, dad and sisters. It was exhausting to say the least. I was constantly overwhelmed with my family's neurotic ways and everything had to be planned days ahead of time. I couldn't even order a meal without 437 people asking me what i was getting. My dad was all right for most of the trip-- he gave me reasons to escape the insanity and we kept as much distance as we could from the rest of family... the worst part of the vacation was the weather. It was awful. There were two days of sun the first days we got to Florida and the day before we left was nice also. Needless to say I left Florida just as albino as I was when i got there. BEAUTIFUL.

(( oh and I have a feeling i was roaming on my cell phone for the entirety of the trip - so if i go missing in the next month, it's because my i was killed due to my phone bill. oh well, it was worth every phonecall.))


after the trip i didn't think anything could be worse. That was until I found out spring break money was due the 7th of January and my parents let me know i wasn't going. cool. Not surprising though, just because they told me i could go, why should i believe they would actually go through with it? The problem with fighting them on it is that i agree with them. The trip is ridiculous. I mean, a large group of under-age drinkers traveling to a place where they can drink all they want and it is all paid for is irresponsible. But I really want to go. I think I deserve to go. I have never gotten caught being drunk, or high, I have never been in trouble with the law, I have never been in an accident or have any points on my license and not to sound self-centered but I'm a good person! I have never done anything that should make my parents not trust me or think I will die ont he trip, if anything I have proven I am responsible. Oh well, just another thing my parents and I won't ever agree on.
As far as the latest on spring break... my mom is talking about going on the trip with me. Is she aware the money was due last week? and that our hotel is full? and she has no one to go with? I'll just let her keep thinking she can go--

The Poms season has started again. That means Monday to Thursday from 3ish-5ish I'm busy. Wow, this is my fourth and final year on poms, kinda eerie. Hopefully we will be good this year, the few performances we've had looked all right. At least I have Guy-Girl to look forward to. Scotty is always funny so he better not let me down =)

Well... now it's 6:20 on Sunday night and of course my family is fighting over what to order for dinner. I'm thinking macaroni and cheese sounds good. This entry was basically for me to vent.
mission accomplished.

01:16 pm: woo hoo
I had such a fun/crazy night--only down part was that i drove 5,000,000 miles.... hah, it wasn't so bad... But now i'm home and eating and coloring signs for my sister's bat mitzvah...it's so boring, and i still need to find a dress to wear to her party... I'm screwed! Anywho...i gotta go make lunch for my sister's and then get back to coloring--> peace out.. and VOTE! (if you're 18, of course)

only 4 days until my birthday!!
