On the drive to midnight mass tonight (p.s. Merry Christmas folks) my dad and I got into a discussion about his girlfriend's relationship with her children. She's one of those moms who allows your bf/gf to sleepover in your bed, y'know one of those families. Being the diplomatic blogger and person I strive to be, I don't see what the big deal as far as my dad goes. Listen, bud, you don't live there and your girlfriend can crash at your place if you want to have a kid-free snuggle sesh. Fine. He just sees that level of sexual comfort in a household to be disrespectful to the mother. In the whole shpeil he referred to his girlfriend and himself as "seasoned adults", carefully picking his words. Placing "seasoned" before adult so not to equate me with himself. Interesting.
When is one finally recognized as an adult in society?
We're assorted different privileges at different ages, few being appropriate.
We all go on to do different things with our lives at different points, some things governing more or less responsibilities.
It is a standard in our culture that continues to perplex me, especially now that I am recognized as a "legal" adult, whatever that means.
I've come up with a couple ideas as to what defines an adult: A) You are capable of supporting yourself. And if you're REALLY good, B) You're capable of supporting someone else while supporting yourself.
All of these thoughts come into question after moving back home for winter break... I receive a great deal of respect at college, it typically comes along with all the responsibility. I do what I want, when I want. Its wonderful. Teachers assign me things, no one is breathing down my neck forcing me to do it. If I want to get completely obliterated the night before an early class, thats my fucking prerogative. The whole thing is down right refreshing.
I come back to my small hometown and immediately I'm right where I left off. I mean, the idea of college seems really fun and wild to everyone so folks are usually pretty eager asking about the whole bit, but other than that nothing has changed. I'm still just a kid. I went to alumni day a couple days ago and I freaked out a little inside during the first few minutes. (Granted: I WAS a little high after the bowl me and the amigos smoked before going in, but I bet it would have been just as terrifying otherwise)
The same people I still couldn't relate to on any level except for the fact that we had attended the same high school and, most likely, middle school. The whole thing was awkward and I was really unsure of myself the whole time. The hallways seemed too fucking familiar, I had been away too long to miss it and not long enough to feel missed and welcomed by others. With the usual woes upon moving to college (homesick b.s.) your last days from high school are so glorified and truly missed... but shit. After going back, I am SO fucking psyched to be done with all of that. Ugh. I'll take my best friends with me and say PEACE to the rest of the bullsh I no longer have to deal with on a regular basis. Such as: being constantly monitored, being forced to interact with shitty people.
I was even mistaken for a student and almost got reprimanded for leaving the school before it got out. It was funny and so innocent, yet mildly insulting. DON'T YOU KNOW I'M LEGALLY CONSIDERED AN ADULT NOW AND ATTEND COLLEGE!?
Its just funny. and weird. Its an awkward stage to be in, 18. Adult, technically. Still a kid, supposedly. A hefty load of new responsibilities but not enough to get any pats on the back.. Hmph. How do you remember 18? When did you start feeling entitled to Adult-size respect?

Sons of Scotland! I am your biggest fan.*
I've been told good things come to those who wait, or at least that's the idea anyways.
I started to realize something about my dating habits upon flipping through pages of my journal, the book that holds all the deep dark secrets I'm even too embarrassed to share to strangers. What I realized was that I date the same guy over and over again; starts the same way, ends the same way. I feel the exact same way about everyone of them start to finish.
Why do I do this? I went to college and out of all the fish in the cesspool I took interest in one who was emotionally unavailable, ridiculously insensitive and more over, completely unapologetic. Alas, I learned my lesson and self-destruction is out of my system for at least another few months or so.
For the past couple months I've been hanging out with a nice Scottish boy who recently moved to the US to play on my school's soccer team. We actually met in my school's cafeteria in the pizza line. (side note: pizza= safe choice= doesn't act as colon blow upon leaving the dining hall) When I saw him my jaw literally dropped... I mean I usually always browse in every public setting, but he really caught my eye. Then he opened his mouth and out came the most powerful aphrodisiac known to all womankind, and I suppose guys as well, an accent. Not just any accent, a scottish one!
I kept running into the Scot and eventually we started talking. One day I saw him in the cafe and I told him about how I had visited a place called West Rock in New Haven and how I would really love to bring him there. Its super beautiful and a choice spot to spark a joint.
Pretty, right??
We never actually went to West Rock but we did start talking regularly and eventually begun hanging out. Although the accent really intrigued me, perhaps because I assumed he was different in other ways too, once I started to get to know him I was pleasantly surprised to find a very wholesome person with similar values and ideals to mine. A great looking Scot with morals? Wow, that sounds delicious, I'll have two!
As we hung out I was beginning to wonder just how he saw me....He insisted on paying for me, was quite the gentleman and quite a bit of flirting went down. But he never made a move. So I began to think, after a couple months of the same old hug goodnight, ahem what the fuck Scotty?
Just as I was about to give up, he professed his love to me one night (something that went a little like: "I fancy the arse off you.") and kissed me shortly there after. Halllllllelujah folks.
Stay tuned for more tales of the Scot.. :)
P.S. Bloggers, I'm now and forever a legal adult. 18 has finally come!

Hear me roar.
So I sort of began to tell you about the man whore, Chris, I was hooking up with in the last post. However, after rereading his brief post-appearance, I feel that I should go into a little more detail about him.
We've begun this sort of vicious cycle that college has fueled.
We're very good friends and have a lot of chemistry but with him being a very good looking guy and college girls not being much less than SLUTS, the whole exclusive objective becomes virtually obsolete.
The vicious cycle goes a little something like this:
i) we hang out have some laughs
ii) we start drinking
iii) he hits on me and I deflect any of his attempts with some sarcasm, e.g. "I'm gonna try to kiss you tonight so drink up." "Thats going to take far too much booze to ingest in one night so good luck."
iv) i get drunk and make out with him
v) he leaves me to have sex with someone else
vi) hatred.
vii) he apologizes, we start hanging out again
Really. I allow this shit to happen.
To elaborate..
The other night a bunch of us headed downtown to a karaoke bar I've been dying to check out.
We buy a few rounds of beers and I own the stage with a little Sweet Caroline a la Neil Diamond.
Chris and I go outside for a smoke where he tries to kiss me but I'm not nearly drunk enough to allow that to happen so we head inside and buy another round.
As the night progresses, I'm feeling pretty good so I grab Chris. We both just look at each other and he leans in and kisses me. (just a peck) He turns away and goes back to flirting with the cutest girl to hold his fun-sized attention span.
Suddenly, the cops come in and they make everyone get into single-filed lines.
In case, any of you dismissed the fact that I'm 17, well I am. In other words, totally fucked.
I find Chris and hear his roommate call his name.
He grabs my hand and we start booking it to the back of the bar.
We run through an Employees Only marked door into some back storage room trailing about 15 other runaways.
The bar owners are cheering us on, yelling, "RUN, GUYS, RUN. GO GO GO!" Showing us the light at the end of the tunnel reading "EXIT" in case of a fire.
All of us pile out the bar onto some side street making a clean getaway.
Feeling like I was just apart of something bigger than myself, than a karaoke bar, something more like the underground railroad perhaps, (I was loaded give me a break) I light up a smoke and start doing a victory dance in the middle of the street.
Chris and I start making out on the sidewalk (why not? we just DIDNT get arrested) and my friend picks us up on the next street over.
We get back to our dorm and go up to his room. Shortly there after he leaves to go meet his "fuck-buddy"
I see him the next night over a cigarette outside our building.
I made it quite clear that I wanted nothing more to do with the vicious cycle I'd been allowing on account of sheer convenience and instant satisfaction- But what I hadn't taken into account, until now, was the instant disappointment that always seemed to follow the satisfaction. I'm tired of just allowing things like this to happen. I'm tired of asking, why me? Well, because I let it be me.
No more, folks. Chris might be a babe and a very good kisser but on a college campus, he's a dime a dozen.
He, of course, was very understanding.

Since being at college I can say I've been to two completely excellent concerts: Built to Spill and Jenny Lewis.
Both performances were completely riveting.
For Jenny Lewis, my sister accompanied me to the Schubert Theatre in New Haven, CT. Midway there from school I realize I forgot the tickets in my other purse..ugh.
So we turned around in a speedy fashion and ended up being 15 min late for the show, only catching the second half of the first performance by a guy named Michael Runion. I was totally impressed by him and ended up saying hello between sets.
He was walking up one of the aisles so I decided to say hello and ask whether or not he was selling cds.
He was so ridiculously nice and seemed a bit nervous too. He asked my name and then even remembered it after the show when I came to the merch table to purchase one of my new favorite cds.
Its real folk-y, which I'm into...and it has excellent lyrics.
Off of one track, called "Soft Hands", some lyrics I completely adore read:
"We'll slip into the streets drunk as lonely soldiers and we'll own the night like vandals 'til the morning burns our eyes"
pretty good, right? I dig it. and I'd like to think its my current college mantra but that might be overestimating my social life.
As for the gents...well if this sums it up: water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink.
They're all okay...I was hooking up with one for a while but he's just a whole mess of confusion that right now in my life, I really don't need. I'm the kind of girl that would always prefer a relationship over single life but college is just a different animal.
Dating doesn't exist here. Dating consists of: I'll buy you a drink as leverage for dome later on.
Fortunately, if you're going to make stupid decisions, I've come to the right place!
Just last night, me and my girl Georgia went to a bar just off campus. We showed up and this boy, we'll call Jake, was sitting in the booth next to us. I knew from the start he wanted my goods but he gave me douche vibes so I kept a distance.
We bought a few pitchers and worked the crowd a little bit.
Surprise Surprise, my ex-hook-up-big-mess-but-such-a-babe guy shows up and he greets me with a big hug so we start dancing a little and he kisses my neck a couple times but I don't really play into it.
Eventually he starts doing his own thing and I see Jake.
He asks what I've been up to and I said, dancing! So he asks me for a dance and I ask if he's any good so he says, "Lets go find out!"
As it turns out, he is. However, I like to leave sex to the bedroom and not the dance floor so you going up and down my shirt and pants while rhythmically humping me to some techno song...not my cup of tea. Of course, ex-guy is dancing next to me with some girl and keeps looking over at me and then kisses the girl he dances with.
To retaliate I of course do the same only to experience a sudden distasteful jabbing of the tongue motion..
I said I needed to get some air, grabbed Georgia and got the fuck out of there.
I felt dirty afterwards. But it was in the name of revenge damnit!

Oh, College.
Well, I've been living at college for a full week now and already my life has changed completely.
Since I've been here I've: missed 1 class, dropped 1 class, gotten drunk at least 4 times, made out with some random dude at a club, and had a friend wake up in Yale New Haven on account of being absolutely pickled off the DirtyDub.
It's pretty fuckin awesome around here, not going to lie. I've been here for a week and I can't see myself leaving anytime soon. Bring on the 5 year plan, student advisor! I'll show all of you how it's done!
The other night started in the parking garage which I've come to know and love. We were all drinking some beers and I had a huge water bottle of Peach Iced Tea and Vodka. Needless to say I ended up getting drunk...and then continued to hit on every male around me. We moved our little party to the Gazebo, a place no doubt will deliver many posts. Its reserved for smokers as a means of shielding the non-smokers from our filthy addiction! Blahblah, everyone hangs in there smokin, drinkin, and sometimes bangin.
So, Gazebo. See a guy from my dorm that lived a few floors above me. My friend, Georgia, and I had hung out with him before and we were about ready to ditch the guys we were with. It starts pouring out and we tell the boys we're going to bed. Georgia and I go up to our friend's floor and end up having a beer with his neighbor and dancing to the sweet sweet sounds of the White Stripes. Dave, the kid we has planned to hang out with, comes into the room and joins the fun!
Later, we go outside to have a cigarette. The rain was coming down hard so I decide to just lay down in a huge puddle. My booze-induced spontaneity inspired the other three to start sprinting around the quad slip 'n sliding in the grass and scattered puddles. It was fucking awesome. Not long after, we took a break laying in the grass letting the rain come down on us. I looked around at my new friends, barely knowing them for more than just a few good moments and felt completely satisfied and thankful.
After feeling so trapped towards the end of the summer, I couldn't stop thinking about how free and alive I felt just then. I was cut up, Georgia had ripped her favorite Sevens, Dave kept kissing my forehead, and Jake just wanted to dance. With our different lives and agendas, we had all come to the same place looking for just this particular moment of freedom and that night we found it with a few strangers.

What I've been waiting for...
Sunday is the big day! I'm packin' up and headin' out into the world of the unknown.
One undoubtedly to be filled with hook ups, hang overs, fuck ups, and do-overs.
I'm a little scared, weren't you?
Is my roommate going to be a tool?
Is it true that you'll get warts in the shower sans flip-flops?
How the fuck am I going to survive on the contents left in my bank account after the last purchase of a macbook?
Will dudes find me cute and funny and laugh at my jokes?
Will I find dudes cute and funny and be able to sincerely laugh at their jokes?
ugh.
So, it's a little overwhelming but I can honestly say I'm ready.
No strings attached, no messy break ups right at the end of the summer..
Just long heartfelt hugs to friends with whom I've shared countless memories and in turn, our adolescence.
So Sunday I'll be moving out and moving on to the whole other life awaiting me.

Oops.
So I had the last cigarette of my pack this morning and then drank in excess with my boss tonight at work. The weathers really shitty tonight so I can't really go out, i.e. get my nicotine fix in the process, so all I was left to do was just pick a fight with my mom over my sister and how she has endless freedom and I don't have enough.
I never pick fights. I just fucking begged for one. That was ridiculous. I was yelling at her for nothing. It's almost comical because I'm not naturally a very confrontational person but take away my nicotine and I'll fucking bite your head off.
I should quit.

I should quit.
Oh, how the tables have turned!
I know I was on hiatus for a few months but I think I'm back now for good. I missed all of your blogs and I've spent the last couple weeks catching up on all of my favorites. So! I guess I'll catch you up on what's been happening with me as well.
For those of you who remember Joe, well lets just say, I won so fucking hard!
I do not remember whether or not I posted about him calling me up, while he had a girlfriend, and asking me to go to a party with him. So-
I made sure I looked adorable and showed up fashionably late with a vengeance. We were getting along like old pals until we both started drinking heavily and then things got kind of weird.
He started off on how he still really liked me and how he didn't love his girlfriend anymore blahblahblah. I wasn't really falling for any of this but I still kind of went along with it. Then! He actually started begging me to kiss him. HA! Saying things like, "Just one?" Really, Joe? Easy does it.
Right when I was leaving, I excused myself to the bathroom. After I was all freshened up, I open the door only to find Joe waiting for me! He kind of sort of trapped me and we ended up making out. Oops! This led to him asking me to sleep over and whatever else. After I politely refused for the millionth time, he asked me to hang out tomorrow. "Uh, yeah maybe." "Why not definitely?" "Well because I don't know what I'm doing tomorrow!" And with that I kissed him on the cheek and never saw him again. Victory is mine!
Do I regret kissing him? Nope, cause I got mine. Do I regret letting him cheat on his girlfriend? Not even a little bit.
He then called me almost every single night without fail after this. I never responded or even took the calls until one day I just straight up told him I had a boyfriend and was not even a little interested. Tough break.
Me having a boyfriend at the time was true but not so much anymore. But I'll save that whole run down for another post.

Hey I'm not dead!
I just needed some new material. My posts were getting bitter and repetitive. Summer's almost over, another boy's come and gone, and I'll be off to college in just a few weeks! I am ridiculously excited.
As for now, days are pretty lazy on the East Coast. I sleep in, go to work, go out with friends/ stay in and read. Life isn't seriously thrilling or anything but I know the best is yet to come and right now I just have to enjoy my friends before I leave them all in the dust. Just kidding, I could never. Mostly because there's always next summer and smoking pot by yourself is never as fun as everyone makes it out to be!
Alright. Best be off to work.

Remember the scene from Breakfast at Tiffany's where
that dude says this big thing:
"You know what's wrong with you, Miss Whoever-you-are? You're chicken, you've got no guts. You're afraid to stick out your chin and say, 'Okay, life's a fact, people do fall in love, people do belong to each other, because that's the only chance anybody's got for real happiness.' You call yourself a free spirit, a 'wild thing,' and you're terrified somebody's gonna stick you in a cage. Well baby, you're already in that cage. You built it yourself. And it's not bounded in the west by Tulip, Texas, or in the east by Somali-land. It's wherever you go. Because no matter where you run, you just end up running into yourself."
Well here's what- if love is the only chance any of us have at experiencing 'real happiness' we're all fucked.
Ugh, it's so overdone.

It never ends.
"I'll be at Chiane's for 1:30. Just text me if you're not coming."
He never came and he never texted.
I waited for 20 minutes before I got the nerve to walk back to my car and drive home.
A few nights later, I smoke pot with my ex-boyfriend and Doug calls him.
My ex informs him I'm at the party.
I'm in the kitchen saying goodbye to everyone when he walks in, gives me a shit-eating grin and I can't help but smile back. Then again, what does one do in situations like these? I leave sad and stoned and exhausted.
Tonight, as I'm finishing up my book, I get a phone call.
I don't recognize the number so I call back.
They don't pick up but I hear a familiar voice on the answering machine.
Joe calls back a few moments later asking, rather politely to his credit, if I knew where he could score some coke. I respond, "Well yes, but surely not right now. It's 10:30 on a monday night."
He says thanks, and says that I should expect to hear from him soon.
He was always well-mannered.

TGIM
Monday. I've still got four days before I have to deal with the new status of the guy. He's not my guy, so we'll use his name instead: Doug. I'm expected to see him on the weekend; if I don't I might actually have to deal with this change, until then I'll just assure myself the reason we're not seeing each other is because he's busy during the week.
Last Friday: I head to a party with Jill where I know I'll see Doug. Fortunately, Jill drove so I help myself to a beer and a couple drags of a joint that's offered my way. Doug plays a couple games of beer pong and when he assumes a substantial buzz, he asks me if I would like to go upstairs. I know what this means and nod okay and he follows me to the couch. We don't talk, just start kissing. We lay down on the couch and kiss harder. Someone walks upstairs, we shift positions and play it cool. They come sit with us, serving as not only a disturbance but now a cock-block, and turn on iTunes. Doug kisses me and I kiss back. We make the kid uncomfortable, but we don't care. He's too drunk and I like him too much. The kid leaves, and I stroll over to the computer and put on a song we once heard in a Quentin Tarantino movie. We dance and laugh and kiss and I'm loving every minute of this. He sits back down on the couch expectantly and I say I need to tell him something. He inquires where his cell phone is instead. He's avoiding me and I'm paranoid he knows what I'm about to say. We find his cell phone, he wants to keep making out. I tell him I like him. He stares back at me expressionless. "No response?" "No, I'm just looking at you." I get off him, put on my coat, and walk back downstairs.
Next Day: This time I drive but me and Jill got the okay from the parents to crash at Nick's house so I know I can get drunk. I walk downstairs to the basement and see Doug with a couple friends. I choose not to approach him but just make a quiet entrance and stick by Jill. He doesn't acknowledge my entrance and suddenly I tense up and think back to last night's unfortunate meeting. Eventually, I make my presence known by yelling something to one of my friends playing beer pong. He comes up to me saying he didn't even notice I had showed up. Thanks, jackass.
I mingle and drink a lot of beer. Doug and I flirt but not in the usual way. Things are more tense. So much that he refuses to kiss me. I walk by and he grazes my side affectionately but I come and inch from his face and he just half smiles and looks the other way. I mutter for him to fuck himself and walk away. Mid-neglect, Jill catches my ex-boyfriend looking at me for 'a solid 10 seconds.' I talk to him instead.
Later, I notice my ex is nowhere to be found. I ask where he's run off to and I'm informed he's on the back porch. I walk out and its so dark and I'm so drunk but I know he's there. He tells me he drank too much and he starts to throw up. I rub his back and want so badly to tell him how much I'd rather date him than Doug. I want to tell him that I love him and need him, that I never stopped caring for him and that Doug is just the next best thing. I don't know whether or not any of this true but I want to tell him so badly. I bite my tongue and kiss his head. I wonder if he'll remember but it doesn't bother me.
I go back to the party and see Doug. He kisses me, finally. I try not to think about my ex, his best-friend. We kiss some more. Someone asks him if I'm his girlfriend. Neither of us responds. Later, we're kissing and we back step down a hallway. We find a room, we find a couch, we've done this before. As we're falling down to the less than comfortable futon, he says, "I like you too." I don't know what to say so I say nothing but just kiss back. He's going up my shirt and I know I should warn him not to go further in lieu of really unfortunate timing. He says he understands. He accidentally hits my eye and I say, "Oh no! You fucked up my contact." He responds with, "Sorry, babe. I didn't even know you wore contacts." I wonder what else he doesn't even know about me.
I go check on my ex, help him walk up the stairs by throwing his arm around my shoulder and bracing his back. I know Doug hates that I've been tending to Ryan all night but I don't care. I get him to bed and see him puking more, I know I've done all I can and go to bed with Doug. People keep walking in, I'm getting irritated. We're kissing, I know he's getting bored of this. We're joking around and I ask him a serious question. He doesn't answer. I flip over away from him, doze off and then wake up a few minutes later craving comfort. Instead he gets up, puts on his belt and jacket. I ask him where he's going. He says he can't sleep.
"Don't go." I say, petrified of spending the duration of the night alone in a stiff twin bed with just a shitty 300 thread count sheet to keep me warm.
"I don't have the patience. Don't be mad." He kisses me on the cheek. I would beg him to stay but I know its no use. He's gone. My bed faces the window on the front of the house. I watch him start his car, pull the car into reverse and idle for 30 seconds. I say aloud, "Please come back, what are you doing?" He shifts into drive and I watch him speed away, "Read my Mind" by the Killers trailing off as he disappears.
Two hours of sleep serves me well.
7am Oh God, I have to relive all of it again. Fuck. Why did he leave? Was it because I have my period and he couldn't get laid? He wouldn't have regardless. Did he think he was going to get laid? He must know nothing of me.
A little later, my ex thanks me for caring for him and hugs me goodbye. I'm so grateful for this. Later on, he texts me thanking me again.
I IM Doug last night and it goes horribly. I'm convinced he feels nothing for me.
Next move: play hard to get and lure him back. Forget my ex-boyfriend.

ugh.
I'm a little upset. Not very. Just a little.
I'm in the band at school, I play trumpet. We're going on a lovely cruise down the coast of California April 12-19th, so close! ahhh! Well my mom absolutely INSISTED on coming so I was cool with it. She originally said, "I want to chaperone if I can, but if I can't then I'll just buy a separate boarding pass for the cruise ship and just tag along." Well, she was fortunate enough to get a spot on the chaperone list.
Tonight, I tell her how excited I am and suddenly my stupid sister opens her mouth and goes, "I don't Mom is going to like being a chaperone. I don't think you can drink or anything."
Then my mom starts FREAKING out about how she paid so much moneyyyy and now she finds out she won't be able to drink or party or do anything worth her while. She starts saying how this is MY fault because I waited too long to give her the details, (that she can't consume alcohol while supervising highschool students...gee, ma, sorry I left that one out!) From here, I choose to leave the room after telling her how incredibly rude she's behaving.
What I wanted to say was, "This trip isn't about you. It's about me. It's what I've been working towards for 9 years. You begged to come just so you could see me. Had I known you just wanted a vacation with some background music I wouldn't have gotten you on the list."
I'm sick of this shit.

What is it about my ears...
that screams "PLEASE PUT ME IN YOUR MOUTH" ?????
The new boy likes ears too.
What to do, what to do!?
Well, I think I like him very much so I won't do much about it; in the meantime, I'll just make sure to be extra thorough with my q-tip.

It's funny how things work out.
Joe is back with his ex girlfriend. Well, I'm not sure they're officially dating, but they've been spending a lot of time together.
I posed a question to my boss as to why he would ditch me and go back with her, and he gave me quite the enlightening response.
Here's why I asked- in the entire 3-4 months Joe and I dated he never did more than kiss me. There was plenty of opportunity, I mean plenty.
We sort of separated once but then shortly after, we started talking again and met up at CCSU. Remember? Then we tried it out for another month or so and it ended with him saying he didn't want to "hurt me."
He called a few times after that but I was pretty much done.
Now he's back with his sex-obsessed ex-girlfriend.
Alas, the object of my confusion was, he never even made a move on me, but seemed to like me a lot. Then! he dumps me and goes back to his past nymph. Ironic, eh? If all he was looking for was booty, I would have skipped all the emotional crap and worked out some sort of agreement...a little FWB, for ya? (friends with benefits)
I'm totally kidding, but that's besides the point.
My boss told me the real reason he dumped me and went back was because he clearly still had feelings for his ex and didn't see our situation going any further until he sorted things out with her. Fair enough.
This makes entirely TOO much sense. Now I'm left with the mystery as to WHY he couldn't just tell me. It had nothing to do with me. How could I be hurt by that? It was ending either way, a little honesty could have smoothed things over immediately.
I'm content. I deleted his number from my phone.
I've been seeing the new boy frequently.
My current mission is to woo him into loving me.
Shouldn't take too long so feel free to practice a few exercises to improve the ol' lung capacity until I report back with good news. ;)

Punch drunk love?
To recount the past week's events in a timely manner:
-Realized that I can never go back to ex, and decided to mack it on his best friend
-Joe has tried a few times to get in contact with me but there's just no hope for him
-My ear-obsessed dream boy texted me saying he wants to hang out when he gets home from college next week
-I've taken quite a liking to the White Stripes, I'll elaborate more later
-I gave up the whole Lent thing. I love meat, call me a sinner.
-I really need to play catch-up on all of your blogs.
So! The new boy:
He's my ex-boyfriends best friend but that hardly matters; it just serves as a lovely device to inspire jealousy. He's devilishly attractive and a little untrustworthy. We have been texting like fiends and I met up with him today. He reserved a bottle of Cabernet for the two of us, so we cracked that bad boy open minutes after my arrival. The next two hours are a complete blur but they are mostly comprised of a lot of flirting and him backing me into a hallway and kissing me.
Later, we went down to the basement to listen to the White Stripes where he (I know this sounds pretty corny, but bare with me) sang along in my ear and gave me a whole new meaning to the lyrics, "Soft hair and a velvet tongue, I wanna give you what you give to me."
Amidst all of our punch-drunk love, some girl took me aside to tell me that typically he hits it and quits it. He goes from girl to girl and doesn't think twice when he gives her the news that it might be a smart idea to stop talking.
Now! If we recall to my last post, I'm certainly not up for any more of that shit.
Alas, my guard will be up. However! his very good friend, mine as well, told me he's never seen him like this around one of his many girls. So maybe, things will be different.
Either way, it'll make for a good blog post. OPA!

I think it's really over this time.
Joe: thats pretty cool to have your friends call me last night
ETP: they took my phone when they saw i was upset.
ETP: i thought we weren't talking.
ETP: do you mind providing an explanation?
ETP: i dont know if you're reading this now or what but you just amaze me how you can call me at 1am when im drunk and youre probably drunk too and tell me after hanging out for like 3-4 months "i dont think we should talk anymore" then go on to provide no sort of explanation and have the nerve to im me the next night and ignore me when i ask you a simple fucking question.
Joe: i just dont want to end up hurting you
ETP: well thanks for the favor.
Joe: whatever
I suppose I'll elaborate more later, but there you have it.

"Here's to being 17 and making bad decisions"
I wake up at 6:25 to the revolting "Cingular Sound" I set my cell phone alarm to.
I briefly consider how the name is dated and how they should change it to "AT&T sound" - more appropriate but not quite as catchy.
I fall back asleep and when my mom yells up the stairs, "ELYSE, ARE YOU AWAKE?" I lie and say I have study hall first period. I set my alarm for 45 minutes later.
I can't really fall back asleep because the sun is shining through my window...
I hate the sun, consider shutting my blinds, but am too lazy and instead think Spring is almost here due to the new annoying, yet later appreciated, early winter sunrise.
I wake up at 7:20, jump in the shower and think about my short February break's events: partied a bit with Jill with kids from another town. Saw my ex-boyfriend. He didn't once through the night make eye contact with me. Partied again with the same kids, sans ex-boyfriend, a couple days later and win a game of pong with an epic bounce, earning the respect of all the guys there and a little extra from my very cute pong partner. Get the title of "Team Lightweight" due to our very obvious intoxication after four games. Smoke a cigarette and then convince myself I'm just fine to drive home. Drive home, sobered at this point, pass a cop, drive impeccably, reach destination and pass out.
I dry off and throw my hair in a towel.
Walk downstairs and pour myself a cup of coffee.
Apply make up and head off to school, only to stay for three classes and then head home.
Consider going to the gym, consider fueling my empty stomach, but instead read a few pages from a Bret Easton Ellis novel. Hear my dog snoring beside me and join her in 45 minute nap. Wake up and walk upstairs to my bedroom where I escape to my roof and smoke a cigarette. Smoke. Crawl back inside and light a stick of incense to cover up any odor that might have crept in. Blog.

I wake up at 7:20, jump in the shower and think about my short February break's events: partied a bit with Jill with kids from another town. Saw my ex-boyfriend. He didn't once through the night make eye contact with me. Partied again with the same kids, sans ex-boyfriend, a couple days later and win a game of pong with an epic bounce, earning the respect of all the guys there and a little extra from my very cute pong partner. Get the title of "Team Lightweight" due to our very obvious intoxication after four games. Smoke a cigarette and then convince myself I'm just fine to drive home. Drive home, sobered at this point, pass a cop, drive impeccably, reach destination and pass out.
I dry off and throw my hair in a towel.
Walk downstairs and pour myself a cup of coffee.
Apply make up and head off to school, only to stay for three classes and then head home.
Consider going to the gym, consider fueling my empty stomach, but instead read a few pages from a Bret Easton Ellis novel. Hear my dog snoring beside me and join her in 45 minute nap. Wake up and walk upstairs to my bedroom where I escape to my roof and smoke a cigarette. Smoke. Crawl back inside and light a stick of incense to cover up any odor that might have crept in. Blog.
Here's to being 17 and making bad decisions.

V-day Come and Gone.
I couldn't be more pleased.
I'm pretty sure the general consensus on Blogger is that it fucking sucks.
I haven't had a good Valentine's Day to date, well except when I was like 14 but that shit doesn't count. (My boyfriend put a bouquet of roses and a heart-shaped box of chocolates in my locker. Not a year later, I was hanging on to the relationship by the skin of my teeth and our V-day celebration consisted of a second-hand meal at Bertucci's and a 2-hour nap to follow. I was more pissed about the nap cause I sure as fuck wasn't tired.)
Wanna know how much I hate Valentine's day? I gave up meat for Lent and I damn slaughtered a cow last night.
Fortunately, for me and livestock alike, I went to Flatbread with Jill and got a Vegetarian-friendly Pizza, Tomato Basil to be specific and heavens, it's tasty.
With that said, on a brighter note- Joe and I finally discussed all of our bullshit last night and actually made some sense out of our mess of feelings.
Turns out, as I sort of predicted, most of our problems are a product of the problems he's chosen to not only keep quiet about, but take on by himself.
Clearly, there's a reason he hasn't taken the intiative to include me in his drama, so I won't pry, but just give him time to work it out on his own.
Tonight, I'm partying with my ex-boyfriend and some other folk. I plan on getting wasted and making shit-tons of poor decisions.

I damn near forgot my password.
Agh. I know I haven't posted for a while but I'm beginning to feel a little discouraged. My life is extremely repetitive and a little predictable so every time I get an idea, I overthink it to be garbage.
To give you a condensed run through of my life since my last post:
- Saw Joe at CCSU (we both had plans to go, notified eachother randomly 8 hours before and decided to meet up) ended up sleeping (the sort with Rapid Eye Movement, to be clear) with him at his friend's dorm, macked it slow and sweet, and have been hanging out since...unfortunately the same sporadic tendency has carried.
- Started going to Hardcore shows again with my friend Jill and ended up running into a lot of old friends- we've been hanging out since and I'm setting Jill up with a good friend of mine from the long lost group, coining myself "match-maker extraordinaire." Ex-boyfriend included in this group...He gave me the whole "I'm going to single-handedly ruin your social life and self-esteem" treatment after we broke up but I'm a chump and would love to have a "spontaneous-totally-wasn't-thinking-alcohol-induced-hotpassionatelovemaking" experience with him.
-I've taken a fondness to quotes apparently. (see last 2 bullet statements)
-I want to take a shit on Randy Moss' doorstep.
-I've been listening to far too much Radiohead lately but just can't bring myself to refuse them.
-School is dull and boring...so much that I skipped to work 8 hours the other day.
The morning waitress' newly wed husband dropped dead of a heartattack at the age of 37 just the other day. *Cue shock and sympathy* Yeah, well guess what folks. I'm starting to get tired of the whole thing. My bosses feel the fucking need to tell EVERY single customer that comes in the restaurant, regardless if they knew her or not. And the part that pisses me off the most is the stupid rehearsed look they get on their face right after they tell the person. "Yeapp (somber shake of the head) that's life for ya." Yeah, that is life for you. Stop fucking advertising someone's tragedy for a conversation starter.
That's all I got.

The return of my ear-obsessed dream boy.
Not that I would entirely know, since I'm still 17, but how is it that you are considered in your "golden years" when you're 70+, senile, arthritic, and near death?
I'm having a fucking ball being 17.
Granted my last post was very emotional and retarded, but I figure it's all apart of the experience. You learn a whole lot about yourself when you get to those "emotional and retarded" points. To quote Little Miss Sunshine,
Anyway, he uh... he gets down to the end of his life, and he looks back and decides that all those years he suffered, those were the best years of his life, 'cause they made him who he was. All those years he was happy? You know, total waste. Didn't learn a thing. So, if you sleep until you're 18... Ah, think of the suffering you're gonna miss. I mean high school? High school-those are your prime suffering years. You don't get better suffering than that.
Anywho, shit sucks from time to time but then you have nights like last night and you know that everything, one way or another, will fold out just as it should, despite all of our overally pessimistic predictions of what lies ahead.
This weekend, four of my close friends are celebrating their 17th or 18th birthday.
So we headed over to the Murphy's for a good old-fashioned booze-a-palooza.
The night was great fun. We danced, drank, smoked, and thoroughly enjoyed each others company. Although there were many different cliques at the party, I managed to spend quite a bit of time with everyone.
Around 11:30-midnight everyone started to head home except a small group of kids (7 guys and me) Leaving me as the only girl, naturally every boy was turning on the flirt...that is until Coleman stepped in. We hadn't spent a ton of time together that night but at this point, hooking up is sort of inevitable. (side note: Does this make me easy? I don't think so, right?)
Since there was no need for an ice-breaker, he just gave me a couple kisses on my forehead and cheek. I wasn't entirely prepared to share a bed with him...well, actually. Who am I kidding? I was fully prepared. But I acted like I wasn't. Little hard to get bit to keep him on his toes. We went and laid down on one of the bunk beds and then all the other boys came filing in. Alas, no choice but to stay put for the night unless I wanted to sleep on the floor. It was pitch black so we figured we could get away with kissing if we were quiet about it. Eventually, I proposed a smoke and we made a b-line for the nearest empty room. He did the ear thing again but I used Dr. Kenneth Noisewater's tip:
"After a few minutes too many on the ear, that's when you just grab his head and put his mouth wherever you want it. He'll take it as, "she's so turned on she can't stand it anymore," but it will really be, "this ear shit has to stop." Every one's happy."
Worked like a charm! Major kudos for you, my friend.
So yeah, we got down and dirty and I'll save you the vivid details because this post is running a little lengthy.
Around 4:30, we headed back downstairs to our bunk and passed out.
Best part about the whole bit is that, throughout hooking up/sleeping/waking up/basically until I drove home this morning, we could not stop laughing or kissing or cuddling. Not gay cuddling either. Cute cuddling where you can't help but always wrap your arms and legs around the other person. It was just perfect. He's leaving soon so I'll take it for what is was. However, he did mention he was coming back in May for the whole summer and that we could potentially take things up again.
I'll play it by ear. Oh, Joe is sooo very over. Kicked that motherfucker to the curb. The deets are unnecessary and tired so I'll refrain from listing them. Just thought I'd let y'all know.
Have a good weekend=)

Not Happy.
There's something wrong with me I think.
I smoke too much pot.
I care too much about Joe- he does not care for me at all I'm beginning to fear.
I care too much in general and I can't turn off this constant feeling of disappointment.
My mom says to me, "It's sad to me that you have no friends that care about you as much as you care about them."
Thanks, Mother.
I have no idea where I'm going to college.
I believe my life is at a standstill where something big is about to happen.
The future either holds a lot of good or a lot of bad.
I give so much and receive so little.
Even if people aren't, I feel as though I am taken for granted all the time.
I feel like no one cares as much as me.
My mother said that weeks ago, and I replay it in my head 100 times a day.
I am a slave to this false potential I see in everyone.
I constantly question, What am I doing?
No answer of reassurance.
I try to go from one high to the next and when no high is provided I feel so fucking low it's nauseating.
Whether the high is drug-induced or boy-induced.
Sounds weird, but the only time I ever feel "even" is when I'm with my family.
I love my sisters.
I love my father.
I love my mother but she drives me absolutely fucking crazy and has a personal agenda for every matter I take on.
I feel like my mother has ruined any chance I could be considered a rational person.
I have taken on all of her coping methods: bottling up all emotions and then FUHREAKING out later. I.E. this post. I get into moods where I'm convinced everything good in my life has suddenly gone to shit.
There is definitely something wrong with me.

Happy New Year!
A new year it shall be! 2008 is going to be killer, I know it. I'm graduating high school, turning 18, going to college (where? who the fuck knows, but I'm going!) etc. etc. Lots of awesome shit.
Boy, did I bring in the New Year with some good clean fun.
Joe and I decided to go our separate ways for the night and hang out with our respective crowds. This I thought was an excellent idea. I can make out with Joe whenever I want, now Coleman...not so often.
The day started off great! My friend, Alex, called me up for a powertoke* before I had work at 3. I took a quick shower, did my hair, and got a call from work saying those sweet, sweet three words, "We're closing early." I was feeling great!
Wait one second there, ETP! Something going according to plan? Better than expected even? Think again!
Some douche bag that had ASKED to come to Alex's house that night for New Year's Fiesta, ratted us out. His dad found a bottle of 151 and Morgan's and continued to interrogate him. He falsely accused Alex of "asking him to supply the booze." So, Douche Bag's Dad calls Alex and asks to speak to his dad. Alex did what any smart teenager would do, he acted like he was his dad. Douche Bag's Dad sort of buys it and shuts up. As I'm pulling up the drive way, still buzzing from the "no work" inform, I see a big truck blocking the whole top of the drive way. Douche Bag's Dad continued to C-block my whole fucking evening. He made Alex call up his dad so he could talk to him personally.
This guy is fucking crazy town. I mean seriously, we're 17-19 years old. It's New Year's Eve. Eat Shit.
For the next two hours we practiced a little damage control, in between baking out his basement.
Somehow we managed to work everything out. I got to the party around 8:30 and there was no booze in sight. (well, except my stash in my purse) They made it pretty clear there would be no drinking tonight. As the night progressed, we managed to hide it pretty well and then everyone came filing in. It turned out to be a pretty big party.
I was sort of bummed because it looked like Coleman would not be bringing in the New Year with us, until around 11 when he showed up, just coming back from another party. Of course we did the whole flirty bit. We danced together and shared a few cigarettes. Out of curiosity and maybe a hint of jealousy, my friend Dave goes to Coleman, "So, Elyse?" to which he responds, "Like fishing with fuckin' dynamite." WHAT?!
Because I had my eye on the prize, and Coleman is such a babe, I let this slide. It's not like I hadn't been planning this shit for a good week and a half anyway.
We sort of went our separate ways and mingled with other people for a little while. All of the sudden, Tila Tequila pops on the screen with her gigantic head and begins the countdown. (This shit really came out of nowhere. Could have been cause I was WASTED at this point but nonetheless) "3, 2, 1," Coleman grabs my face and kisses me. It was perfect.
We kept kissing all night pretty much. And at one point I whispered in his ear, "It's like fishing with fucking dynamite, huh?" I think I scored points with this comment, put the fucker in his place. Later on we decided to "top-bunk-it" and made out while my good friend was having sex in the bunk below (WEIRD!)
The hook up...was less than spectacular. I have a LOT of hair and no hair-tie so it was sort of everywhere. Hands were everywhere. We were kissing so hard, he scratched me with his chin scruff. Then he did something a little weird. He made out with my ear for like 15 minutes. At first it was hot and I was into it. But FUCK. He was practically getting off to my ear. Maybe he has a thing for ears? I wasn't into it. Weird. Then someone came in and he bounced. It was nearing 2am and my friend Jackie wanted to leave, so I announced to the room I was leaving. "Bye everyoneee!" That sort of thing. A few boys got up to hug me. Coleman however was quite set on playing his dumb videogame. He didn't move a muscle, didn't even look at me- and there's no chance he didn't hear me. I decided to not play into his little game and just left.
Around 3am, he calls me asking why I didn't take him aside to say bye. Sure, pal. We texted this morning and he even called me to talk. I got a little nervous and said I had a lot of work to do and that I'd call him later.
He goes back to college in a few weeks so I'll just hang out with him until then.
This would all be much more exciting to me if I didn't really like Joe. But whatever, I can do both! =)
Joe called me a million times last night, so I'll probably see him tonight. He asked if I kissed anyone and I told him I hadn't. I did lie, but at the same time, he doesn't need to know everything just yet.
Do any of you have any particularly memorable New Year's Eve kisses??
*smoke up his basement before work/school/any sort of committment that would be boring otherwise.
