there, that is a bunch of the stuff that has happened this weekend. tonight i think i am doing a whole bunch of nothing. i hung out with tara, steph and joe, while we made the 5 north dance club. we also invented a nice game with joe's ball. when thinking of what to call it i thought of "hall ball" but that name is probably already claimed so maybe modified volleyball will do. not very catchy i konw. lemme know if you have any suggestions. at this point id like to give a shout out to kathy dooling for buying us a water filter so we dont have to drink from the trough. thanks kathy
on the train ride to methuen, the train came to a dead stop in the middle of the forest somewhere which i was not too impressed with. we stayed there for about 15 minutes and they made up some lie about waiting for train #236. also to my displeasure, it was snowing when i awoke this morning. snowing. not just like a little either, it actually accumulated on the ground, and had to be cleared off of the cars. ridiculous. i got over it pretty quickly after having a nice beer and cheezit breakfast.
on thursday night, we tried to go to flanagans. me, manole, mike, and connely were drinking and we headed out around 1130 with jill. when we arrived there was a foolish number of people in line many of whom i knew. the girl who i love was there, so i was definitley pleased. much to my dismay they sent us all away, something about not being 21, i dont know, i was too drunk to care all that much. i also bumped into holly and leah, which was a nice surprise. i think by the end of the night i offended them both by being a little too grabby. oops. sorry girls. anyway, we walked back and saw coffee, jay and dom at the t station, another pleasant surprise. pretty much what ended up happening is we returned to manoles room, after i convinced leah to come and hang out, and there was more drinking and smoking of the drugs. i was impressed to see that manole had free pornography, though it was a little shady. then i wandered back up to my floor where i made a fool of myself to zach and several other people. haha, im a drunk retard.
after that, jeff wandered off outside, and me and hamel had to go track him down. we found him 500 yards down the street hiding in the shadows. there is no doubt in my mind that if we had not gone to get him, we would have never seen him again.
ok, let me try and recall some great happenings in the last few days. they will be in no order at all. last night we went to kinlins house and drank some beers. it was a good time. jeffrey allen got pretty drunk and so did tim. later in the evening, tim got of his chair very matter of factly, and sat down indian style. he then proceeded to tip over and pass out on the kitchen floor. during his one hour "nap" we were looking for heavy things to drop on him. someone suggested a medicine ball and that is when the quote of the night occured. uninvolved in the conversation earlier, jeffrey allen chimed in with "he didnt drop them, they grow on medicines". well done jeff. no one knows what it meant, but it was really funny.
i think something is very wrong with my computer. the font of everything has totally changed to something that i do not like.

well, my english paper was supposed to be due on tuesday, and since i naturally had done no work whatsoever on it until monday night i was forced to write all 3 drafts. on tuesday he told us that there was a miscomunication and it wouldnt be due until today, wednesday. this gave me a chance to have my good friend steph niro, edit it, and give me some feedback. so taking her advice i produced an excellent paper, and was confident heading to my class today. strangely enough, 10 minutes of sitting in the classroom with no teacher proved to be too much and we all abandoned it, giving me another 2 days to work on my paper. now, because of these 2 incidents, im actually going to have 3 different drafts and actual revision will have been done. this is just proves one more time that i am protected by either god, or the devil himself. so, keep it up whichever one of you is helping me.

today is the 14th, and my last final is on the 7th, which means by my calculations, there are approximately too many days left.
i saw an excellent american express ad in the subway station one day. it said, why put off till tomorrow, what you can do at 2am. good call. i think my favorite part about being home is the cornicopia of food in my house. there are leftovers, frozen dinners, and ridiculous amounts of snacks. i love it, here i am reduced to ramen or walking over to the damned caf.

met with my father today about financial aid. it is pretty weird, and i think that he is trying to scam northeastern. for some reason i have to tell them that i live with my brother at his place, and my mailing address is some PO box. plus he did something screwy with the fasfa forms so we get billed or fined or something. its official, he has definitely gotten married. while i didnt really ask him since my step mom vanessa was there too, but i saw the wedding band on his finger. and since even when he was married to my mom i cant remember when he had ever worn one, so it was an easy assumption. it was sort of awkward seeing her for the first time since i knew she was my stepmom but i made the best of it by ignoring her questions, not making eyecontact, and talking about her in the 3rd person while she was right there. my dad was not impressed with me, and consequently gave me no money.
i cooked my mom some boneless pork and fried rice for mothers day. she was rather critical of me, making sarcastic comments the whole time, using a monotone voice like: "Boy, this tastes GREAT". thanks mom. happy mothers day.
driving about a mile down the road past my house, the neighbors cows had gotten loose and were running all over the place. literally hundreds of cows were walking around into peoples yards, as well as the forest and fields around. they also much to our dismay would not get the fuck out of the road. when we honked our horn they just stampeded. there were cows running all over the place and for every one that we scared of the side of the road there was another one to take its place. finally the slowed down and sort of went over to the side of the road and we gassed it by them. it was the kind of thing that happens in movies.
ah yes, so many things to tell about this weekend. i came up with a whole bunch of stuff to write but naturally forgot it before i could write it down here. well, lets see, two kids i know just got out of prison and they were nice enough to teach me how to play spades. what a couple of class acts.
