Political Science

No one likes us-
I don't know why
We may not be perfect, but heaven knows we try
But all around, even our old friends put us down
Let's drop the big one and see what happens

We give them money-
but are they grateful?
No, they're spiteful and they're hateful
They don't respect us-
so let's surprise them
We'll drop the big one and pulverize them

Asia's crowded and Europe's too old
Africa is far too hot
And Canada's too cold
And South America stole our name
Let's drop the big one
There'll be no one left to blame us

We'll save Australia
Don't wanna hurt no kangaroo
We'll build an All American amusement park there
They got surfin', too

Boom goes London and boom Paris
More room for you and more room for me
And every city the whole world round
Will just be another American town

Oh, how peaceful it will be
We'll set everybody free
You'll wear a Japanese kimono
And there'll be Italian shoes for me

They all hate us anyhow
So let's drop the big one now
Let's drop the big one now

--Randy Newman

So yesterday is yesterday and today is today and things were really great today. I woke up early after going to sleep around 4:30am. Matt and Jeremy and Katie and Adam came to pick me up around 10:15 to go down the shore. We went to Katie's gma's house in Spring Lake and spent 4 hours or so on the beach. Katie finished Harry Potter, Matt and Jeremy and Adam went in the water and I alternated between watching the clouds and taking my chances in the waves. The waves were huge! I swallowed some gulps and my throat now is icky, though I haven't been sleeping much lately so that might have something to do with it too.

These past few days have been crazy. Matt and I went bouldering on wednesday night, then thursday night matt, jeremy, suzanne, joe, myself and kiddies went to see Return To Sender play at Connies. That was a great show, I was really impressed with how well Sean and Russ and the guys synergize. (booya) Friday night danny and katie went with me up to maggie's house in south orange to attend her party. It was a good time, despite the fact I was DD and was close up and personal with aaron who was trashed. All in all I had a great couple of nights though, and it always helps when at the end of the night someone asks for your number. ;-)

Friday was fun, even though Maggie and I didn't spend much time together at the party. Saturday was a busy day, danny and mom and rod and josh and I went into spanish harlem to help jim move some furniture into his new apartment. I drove! We had to go through the easy pass at the GWB because we totally didn't have an extra 6 bucks. I hope the cameras got my good side. Moving jim into his apartment was crazy, but all in all good. He has a 5th floor walk up, ie: no elevator so it was lots of cursing and luckily laughing. My brothers are great. Josh didnt go with us, he was going to, but at the last minute the neighbour asked if he wanted to go swimming with her son instead. Afterward he regretted his decision because he realized how much fun we had and how he'd missed out on seeing jim and his apartment.

Saturday night was last night, and found me at Jess' house in new brunswick for her official 21st birthday party. This party was great because so many awesome people were there; EVAN! TODD! STEPHEN! STEVE M! JAY! JESS! whew I'm getting tired..... also maggie, aaron, lauren, pete, brett, ariel, and lotsa other people were there. This made the party nice. But at the same time, things between maggie and I are kinda off right now, so when we talked about it things didn't really go well. So after that I was kinda upset for the rest of the night, although Jess and Lauren were really sweet to me about it. Jess had a great birthday, and I left around 3:30 because I started not to feel so good and because I was really bummed about maggie. I just want her to be my friend, and it makes me sad that she's so uncomfortable with me now.

Then this morning I went to the beach, we all got along really well in the car and for the whole trip, and it was an absolutely beautiful day. I thought about how if only I had my beach cruiser I would be all over that little town. =-) I put sunscreen on when I got there, and then reapplied it twice during our stay on the beach. I would have succeeded in avoiding a sunburn altogether if not for the fact that I missed the side of my boob by my arm. =-( Otherwise I'm burn free.

I can't wait for christina to get home from texas, I want to hear all about her trip and because I have sooooooooo much to tell her. I'm feeling really good right now despite the fact that my throat feels icky, im hot to the touch, my ears are full of water, I'm exhausted, my right earring hole is infected, and lets see what else?? well that'll do for now.

if you could have any super power which would it be?
ability to read minds?
ability to stop time?
ability to go to parties all the time and never tire?

=-)
