Marblehead with Fred

Hey everyone! I hope your weekend is going well. I have a Talky Blog for y'all. You get to see a little bit inside the camp. No campers. That'd be illegal I think. Anyway, yesterday Fred and I ventured around a bit. Of course, I had the Flip!

Adventure with Fred

The other night after Fred and I left Target and Best Buy, we had an adventure. Of course, it was videotaped for your enjoyment. Hope you like it!

UPDATED: Where Are You Going? That Isn't Wheat!

Oh my goodness, bloggers. Fred and I had a fun night tonight. We went on a trip to Target and Best Buy! And guess what bloggers! We recorded it for you! I'm gonna edit it tomorrow and then post it. I'm really tired and I don't know why.

**UPDATE**

Rachel's First Time

Being on my blog! Dirty minds! Haha! Anyway, this was last night when I went shopping with Rachel. She wasn't very excited to be on the blog, but I think I'll be able to wear her down and get her in a Talky properly before the summer's over. Enjoy!

Happy 2008!

Happy New Year to everyone! Hope 2008 is a wonderful year for all!

Today was my first Iliya-free day in 6 days. I was not impressed. All I could think about was him all day. He called me when he got to Florida, so I know he got there safe. Then he called me a little later and told me his trip was not going very well. He sounded very upset, so I thought about him all night. I tried to call him at midnight, but he was in a club so he couldn't talk. Hopefully he'll call me later.

What did I do tonight? I went to Boston with Fred! The T was free tonight from 8PM onward, so we took the orange line to Haymarket and walked around the North End for a while. She wanted to go to a pastry store (not Mike's), but it was closed. I think we then took the green line to Faneuil Hall, but we may have walked. I forget. We took the green line at some point. Then we went to the Commons to see the ice sculptures. Then we walked to Back Bay via Newbury Street and came home.

We played Scene It? for a while then watched the ball drop. That was it. Nothing special. Happy New Year!!!

Christmas Number One and a Surprise!

Hey bloggers! I had a nice first Christmas today. Nana and Pa came over for dinner and they had a nice time. Dinner was kinda blah. I'm not a big fan of ham or scalloped potatoes.

Now I'm actually at Fred's house. I have a surprise for you. Remember a while back, over Thanksgiving week, Fred and I went and played Five Dollar Fun? Here's the link if you don't. Well, we recorded it on Fred's camera which, unfortunately, records movies in Quicktime format so I couldn't edit it on my computer. Fred finally edited most of it together, I did the end. So without further ado, I give you Five Dollar Fun with me and Fred!

And now a special TALKY BLOG SURPRISE!

Till tomorrow bloggers!

Busy Busy Busy

Sorry I've not updated in a while bloggers! I have been super busy.

Yesterday was travel all day. And I didn't feel like blogging when I got home. It was a LONG travel day. The roads in NH were very bad.

Today I got woken up early to dig my freakin' truck out. Not impressed. I'm surprised I'm still awake. Then I went to do some errands with my dad. Then we went to Randolph to go to the movies. My cousin, Chelsey, and I saw Sweeney Todd. It was super good. Phenomenal. I loved it. Who knew Johnny Depp could sing!?

Then we came home for dinner. After dinner, I met Fred at the mall. We did some shopping. Then she came over and we watched funny videos on MySpace for like 2 hours. She didn't want to do a Talky Blog. Oh, well.

Now I'm just sitting and pondering life. Church tomorrow. Yay!

Talky Blog... Sorta?

OK, my camera f***ing sucks.

I tried to record a Talky Blog with one of my best friends, Brittany (with whom I will most likely be living next year), but my camera decided to not record properly.

It recorded the first like 40ish seconds of our first attempt, and then none of our second attempt, and then 11 seconds with no audio of our last attempt. Ruin. My. Life.

Here's the 40ish seconds that did work.



So today was pretty good. Had things to do. Went and saw Diane, she's back!! Then went to Psych, it was a really interesting class today. Then went to work. I usually don't work on weekdays (only on Saturdays), but Walt called and asked if I could work 1-4 today. So I did.

It was REALLY busy today at the library. Probably the most people I'd ever had to deal with. It was kinda nice though, because that makes the time go faster.

TODAY IS FRED'S BIRTHDAY!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY FRED!!!!!

OK, bloggers, till tomorrow.

Pit Night

Took Pa shopping yesterday. Went to the doctor's office first so he could get a prescription. Then went to a sporting goods store so he could get tennis balls. Then went to Stop & Shop so he could get groceries. Then to a produce market so he could get cheaper fruits and vegetables. Then to the Baker's Outlet so he could get pastries and a pie. Then I came home and hung out until going to Fred's.

Last night was Pit Night at the Clinches. It was fun. Although everyone was an hour late. Once it got started we had a good time. I lost, as usual. Not as horribly as before. I was only at -120 this time. Yes.

Then more people showed up, so we had to abandon Pit. We first played a game called Set which was fun, but confusing. I got the hang of it so I liked it. Then we played this other game called Loaded Questions. It was fun even though I was at a terrible disadvantage having just met half the people that night.

Then I left and went to sleep. Hooray.

Oh, and watch this:


How freakin' hysterical?

I Think I'll Go to Boston...

Fred and I decided to go to Boston. It was amazing. Hear all about it. Two parts.

Part 1:


Part 2:

Talky Blog with Fred

Hey! Fred came over tonight and we did another Talky Blog together! We got a little swear-y and had to do some bleeping. Do you know how hard it is to find a proper bleep noise? Go ahead, try and find one. I dare you. Anyways, enjoy the Talky Blog with the crazy bleeps.

Also, here are some pics from the night in Gloucester like I promised:

This is Peppy. He is quite sketchy.

The statue in Gloucester.

We were imitating the statue but it looks like we were dancing.

Lots of Missing

I miss Rachel already. It sucks that she's so far away. I really, truly hope she comes up to visit me on one of her breaks.

I went to Burlington today to pick up my tap shoes. I can't wait to start dance! I miss dancing so much!

I miss everyone at school too. As of today, 4 days until we're together. Excluding today. I can't wait to get back up and see everyone.

Fred's coming over tonight. We'll probably do a Talky Blog together. It'll be glorious.

OK. Until later!

A Lovely Night

Such a good night. Had some fun with Zachary. Got stuck in like an hour and a half worth of traffic. And then on the way back home tremendous downpours. Oh well. Went out with Rachel and Fred. Ended up at Denny's. And then Gloucester. Ah, good times. Talky Blog tomorrow. I promise.

Memories

In thinking about Rachel going off to college and the fact that I'm starting year two, I was getting very reminiscent. So I decided to make a list of my favorite memories with my friends. In no particular order:

• Choir with Rachel. Our mutual hatred and subsequent constant separation.
• Being the third tree in the church musical The Three Trees and having to be put on a stool because I was tiny and Victoria and Leila were massive (compared to me).
• The Christmas Eve service based on Dr. Seuss where Rachel and I were Thing 1 and Thing 2 but we were attached at the head with one of Victoria's scarves.
• Food fair where Rachel had a fever and was delirious. She thought every African-American person was Ethiopian. And there was a kid who tried to steal snow and ski on one ski.
• Deep frying EVERYTHING at a church food fair.
• Being taught how to drive by Fred in the church parking lot.
• Eventually moving out of the church parking lot and into a cemetery and the parking lot of Fred's former high school (where we proceeded to hit Fred with her own car).
• The Six Flags trip where we lost everything only to find it all again.
• Six Flags with Jeff throwing up the whole day. And not learning our lesson and refusing to buy a locker at the water park again.
• Freshman year science:
• Mr. Duggan's drug suspicions about Marissa.
• Getting yelled at for playing games on my calculator.
• When our final exam was completely unsupervised.
• The day Marissa's purse circulated the entire room.
• When I threw Marissa's chapstick across the room and it went into a closet, and Marissa refused to go in to get it.
• When Marissa went to room 128 for science, but couldn't find it. So she decided to check 228, but it was a math class. So she finally came back to our real room 10 minutes late and got yelled at only to discover there is no room 128.
• Canobie Lake Park. And the infamous mini-cassette tape. "When I say 'ball'..." and "How does this ride work?" "Well, I turn the key and it goes." "Thank you."
  
• Sophomore year science:
• Holmie stamping anything, even if it was complete bullshit.
• When Marissa touched Sean's crotch.
• Always being in a group with Sean and Reed even though Marissa hated them both and had a strong dislike for me.
• The moldy bread experiment.
• The awkwardness when we asked to swab Srta. Dalton's room for bacteria.
• Junior year science:
• I really need Gabrielle's chemistry folder to sum this up. I'm going to pester her to find it.
• Ms. Brown's awful jokes.
• Being lied to about making ice cream. Continuously.
• Junior year history:
• Ms. Green. Enough said.
• Junior year English:
• Mr. Labastie's massive packet on how to write a thesis paper.
• The Red Badge of Courage. Awful book.
• Mr. Labastie's inchworm story. And then Gabrielle finding one on her bag right after.
• All of Mr. Labastie's anal compulsiveness about papers. That in the end really did help.
• When Aaron was cheating on our spelling test by having the list on Humza's hood, and Mr. Labastie couldn't figure out what was so funny. "Is there something on my face? What is so funny!?"
  
• Senior year Spanish:
• The craptastic Uruguay project Marissa and I did.
• The quiz everyone failed and we tacked to the board. Our own Wall of Shame.
• Senora and Hannah getting into fights and mimicking each other.
• Sean refusing to answer to Juan and demanding to be called Cortes.
• E.T. that wasn't really E.T. Maybe it was like the X-rated director's cut...
• La Casa de Bernarda Alba. Awful. Everyone failing the quiz even though we read it in English because Sean bought the translated version online.
• Our video final. That Marissa didn't trust me on. We used stick puppets. They were hideous, but creative.
• The midyear of death.
• Senora finally giving up on us in the end.
• The crazy movie with the guy who carried around his dead daughter.
• Mujeres al Borde de un Ataque de Nervios. Exactly.
• Drama Club:
• Movie nights that hardly anyone showed up to.
• The night we were supposed to watch Working, but Chris didn't show up and he was the one who had it so we watched Hedwig and the Angry Inch instead.
• Drama Festivals in Scituate, Hamilton-Wenham, Andover, and Brockton.
• Being yelled at when we were at St. John's Prep.
• The amazingness of being Stage Manager.
• Merrily We Roll Along and Working.
• Senior year council trying to get shit done.
• The failed apple picking excursion.
• Canning. Oy.
• I don't even know where to begin with Mr. Pearse.
• Not being able to say the word "juxtaposition".
  
• Trips to NH with Fred.
• Random chats about life with Rachel.
• Stealing trash from the Tennants with Fred and Rachel.
• Coming up with the name Fred.
• Coming up with Fred's full alias. Frederick Jehosophat Londonderry.
• Catchphrase!! "When you're moving and you live in a WAMP WAMP!"
• Living in Kate and Mal's room.
• Tracking down Julifer in the woods in the middle of the night.
• WOCK.
• Music videos!
• 80s night!
• Walking down to Wok n House and being pissed about the walk back up.
• Cabaret.
• Music Theory class!!!

There's so many more, but I'm getting tired of thinking of them right now. If I left something out that you feel should be put in, let me know.

All Shook Up

Hey everyone!

Last night was a mix of emotions. I'm not gonna get into it. Too personal.

I went to the mall yesterday evening with Gabrielle, Marissa, Kayla, Ari and Matt. We had a good time and took fun pictures. Ari and Gabrielle didn't understand the concept of shopping with guys. They took too long. Everywhere. Marissa was no help. It was fun though. We were pissed that we couldn't play with the puppies because you have to be 21.

Group picture! Marissa's hair is REALLY big.

Saw the third episode of the Real World last night. I like this season. I love how they have to keep putting the names of the people on the screen. I still can't tell the difference between Trisha and Shauvon. There was a huge bitch fight last night. Trisha and Parisa are at each other's throats. Parisa is too mature for her own good. Like in some respects. She's not really letting loose enough and letting too many things get to her. Trisha is just a bitch. My favorite was at the end when Trisha asks Isaac, "Do you like me as a person?" and he goes "...I don't know yet..." And she just had this look on her face of like wow, maybe it's me. I can't wait for more drama. They should never have 4 girls. It's just a bad idea.

Tonight will be a bittersweet night. I'm picking up Zachary for our weekend of fun. I've decided to take him to the aquarium. I personally think it's boring, but my cousin Tiffany says he loves it. So we'll go there tomorrow. And also tonight, I'm hanging out with Fred and Rachel. It's the last time I'll see Rachel before she goes to college! It seems like just yesterday we were beating the crap out of each other in choir and being separated by Patty. Oh, those were the days. To be young again.

Perhaps a Talky Blog with Zachary will be in the future...

Talky Blog! AAT Reunion and an Evening of Fun

Here's a Talky Blog all about last night!! Enjoy!

Quick Update

Hi everyone. Quick update. Reunion was fun. Nice time. Here's a picture:

I know, we're awesome. We liked the rolls.

Went to spend some time with Gabrielle because I haven't seen her in forever. We had fun reminiscing.

Then I hung out with Rachel and her friends Ellory, David Landy and Josh. It was fun. My favorite was when we gave David a ride home. He loved driving in the jumpseat of my truck. He never had before. Therefore, per his request, the jumpseat is now known as:


That's right. The David Landy Seat. I'll explain everything tomorrow. Probably in a Talky Blog. Good night!

Rigamortus Rabbit

Hey guys! I did a Talky Blog with Fred. She told quite the story. Have fun.



Sorry that it's so choppy. We were having issues with the camera, this is the best we could get.

Pictures from Canobie... Talky Blog? Maybe Later...

Hi, bloggers!

OK, so, as promised, I'll give you some pictures from Canobie Lake.

Fred and Me on the Caterpillar. I love Rachel in the back...

Me and Rachel on the Caterpillar. Fred looks so interested in something...

Rachel, Me and Fred on DaVinci's Dream. This is a great picture of all of us.

We were really hot, so we went on the Boston Tea Party and got all wet.

We were kind of camera crazy by this point. But it's still a cool picture.

OK, so those are my Canobie Lake highlight pictures.

So I said I was going to try to get a webcam to do Talky Blogs. Well, that's not working out so much for me right now. I got the webcam, but it's not working. So I have to go get a different one and return this one. Ruin. My. Life. Until later. Perhaps a Talky Blog?
