my boring day

rudy325 — 2003-08-25T07:08:00-05:00

Today was kinda weird. I woke up around 8 because I had practice from 9-11. I got up, ate some breakfast, got ready, and then realized I had to call my G-ma for a ride. Well, by the time I remembered that, it was getting kinda late so I ended up being about 15 minutes late for practice. Practice was boring. I played against Nicole C and then after a little break I started playing against Lauren. We're finishing tomorrow but I'm not really looking forward to it because it doesn't really feel like we're doing too much. We just kinda kept on hitting it back and forth, I don't know, maybe it will be different tomorrow. After practice I went home,took a shower, went to my dentist appointment, and then came back home and did NOTHING. Once my mom got home I went to Pine Grove and that's where I leave off right now. Pretty boring day if you ask me.

It was rough

rudy325 — 2003-08-26T05:08:00-05:00

It's been a rough one. I stayed up for a little bit yesterday night to watch a couple of my shows and then once they were done I caught a little bit of the news and then went to bed. I woke up this morning to my alarm clock at 7:30, but seeing as it was 7:30 I decided to stay in my bed for just a tid bit. Well at least that's what I thought. At about 7:36 my brother knocks on my door and tells me "Rita, it about 7:40!" So, feeling that he might be nervous that I won't be ready in time for our rides to our practices (which came at quarter of 9) I got ready to make he feel like it wouldn't be a problem. I went into the kitchen to grab a quick bowl of cereal with some banana, and once I got everything ready I go to the frig to grab the milk, and...no milk. I decided I wasn't gonna let it bother me and I just had a banana.
I go to practice and I was finishing playing Lauren and in the middle of one of the last games Stepian says, "You know Lauren, if Rita wins, then you're bumped down in the ladder and you and Savanna will probably be playing third doubles again." I know what you're thinking, how would that bother me? Well, there's no one there to actually play first and second doubles (except probably amanda and Alex) so how does it work out that Lo and Sav are bumped down to 3rd? This kind of gives me the idea that Steeps might put me in doubles with Nicole, except that she had already asked me what I wanted to play (singles or doubles) and I told her that I didn't feel comfortable playing doubles. I don't get her logic behind any of this and it just ended up giving me a headache. Well, right after I finished playing Lo I went to get my sports locker and I got an eyeful of cara Kelly's ass hanging out of her "Victoria's Secret-knock off spandex, (but definitely aren't the same thing as spandex) underwear." EW NASTY. Then it started raining so practice was called about 45 minutes early. You might think that this would be a good thing, but no. For some reason which I can't remember right now, yesterday Alex and I told Steeps that we would stay there until 12 so we could play with Amanda and Savanna. Keep in mind it was only 10:15. We were bored out of our minds. We ended up making signs (mostly alex did) and then going down to the courts around 11:50 to find out that it's too wet out for us to play. A perfectly good day put to waste. Sav dog showed up and then left to get amanda and then Amanda came while Sav was going to get her and then Sav came back. It was a whole mess. Al and I just ended up leaving but Amanda and Sav stayed to talk to Steeps about the whole ladder thing.
I got home to Hank blaring his music while he was in the shower and then right after he got out, his ride to the fair came and I realized that he didn't help me pick up at all, even after I asked him (and quite nicely I might add) to help out a little bit. I was pissed. He's been doing it every day. He brought the cell phone with him so I called it and told him "you remember how you were supposed to help me out" and he pulled the whole "Oh yeah" deal. So me thinking I'm pulling out this great line say "Oh yeah, well...you owe me" and I hung up. It sounds pretty stupid now but at the time it seemed pretty good. But even with my "great line" I still got stuck doing everything again.
After a while I watched some Road Rules and then saw a commercial for The Two Towers, so I called my mom and told her that we had to rent it. So when she got home we went and rented it and picked up some corn cuz hey, you have to have your corn right? The afternoon kinda slowed my day down but I just feel tired. You know that feeling you get when you're really tired and it's almost as if you feel tired on the inside too? Well that's how I feel so I'm gonna go lie down and just chill until tonight when I can watch "The OC" (GOOD SHOW!! WATCH IT!!)

Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

what a day

rudy325 — 2003-08-27T06:08:00-05:00

Wow. Today was a serious shocker. It all started off when I actually got up with my alarm clock at 7:30. Haha :) At practice I had to play Alex to start finishing up our ladder and to my surprise, I won. I honestly didn't think I would, but it was pretty cool that I did. The only thing is that our first match is tomorrow and it's against Manlius Pebble Hill, which means ANNIE HANCOCK. Someone please shoot me now so I don't have to go through the trouble of doing it myself tomorrow morning. I'm gonna get my ass kicked. My goal is to win a least one game in both sets...Just kidding. It'l probably be pretty rough but hey, at least our second match is agains Pulaski (cough*REALLYBADTEAM*cough)
After practice I came home and watched The Two Towers with my padre cuz he got out of work early cuz the guy he was working with cut an artery in his hand or something. About 3 hours later dad left for the store and I got online to check my e-mails and see who was on. Rob IMed me and asked if I wanted to play tennis because nobody else could. I had to figure some stuff out but then I went about 10/15 minutes later. It was going o.k. until he made a stupid comment that I didn't agree with. I told him I wouldn't play any sport with him ever again, but I know I probably will. I was gonna go to Pine Grove but I decided not to because I wanna make sure that I get enough rest before tomorrow. I gotta go take a shower now cuz I smell...LIKE FLOWERS!!

Past few days

rudy325 — 2003-08-31T10:08:00-05:00

Since I haven't done a blog in a couple of days I figured I should do one and get it over with.
Thursday was my match at MPH and I got my ass kicked. Annie won 6-0, 6-0. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was gonna be cuz I at least went to duece with her about 5 times. After the match I went home and ended up going to Nick's house that night to watch the VMA's with her and Al. That was pretty fun but I ended up getting so tired, and I was supposed to get up kinda early the next morning so it was kinda bad. I ended up going to the fair in the afternoon but didn't stay too long cuz we had a family dinner at my house. The next morning I got up to go to the fair with the fam and we ended up going from about 9 til 5:30. (long day) After we got home I got online to check my e-mail and Rob IMed me to see if I wanted to play tennis again for a "rematch", cuz he can't stand losing to the ladies. It was really boring cuz I didn't even want to be there so I ended up just finishing as fast as I could and I went home and hung out for a little bit with everyone and then fell asleep. Today I got up really late and then went to Pine Grove cuz my membership for the summer ended. I left there around 2 and went to the store to get some stuff for dinner, and to Video King to rent Two Towers again cuz my sis wanted to watch it. Thank god I don't have practice tomorrow cuz I'm sooo tired. I think I'm gonna see if I can sign up for my road test tomorrow but I don't know yet. I'll probably end up playing a little tennis tomorrow afternoon too.

yesterday

rudy325 — 2003-09-01T10:09:00-05:00

Since I kinda rushed through my entry yesterday I figured now's as good a time as any to give the details of everything.

Friday when I went to the fair I hung out with my mom for most of the time so it was kind of a long day. It's kind of good going with her cuz then I get to take time going through some stuff and I don't have to hurry up with everything cuz my dad or brother want to leave. But sometimes it's kinda bad cuz she's always like "Hey, you can get something free there, let's go over there!" Well, we ended up going by this place where you can get your picture taken in a wave and the guy working there was saying that he was gonna give away a free shirt if someone went up and danced. So my mom was like "Rita, you should go up there" Keep in mind that I had no desire to go up and dance or to even get a free shirt. Well I ended up going up and then some other people came over to do it too so there were about 10 of us there. The guy working there said that someone from the "audience" was gonna be judging us, so he found some poor lady and her son to stand there and watch a bunch of people dance. So I started dancing and feeling like a complete idiot, and in the middle of the song the guy says "You guys have to dance to 2 songs!" I was like, shoot me now. I ended up dancing to "Car Wash", and "Shake Your Bon Bon" (the damn song was stuck in my head all day after that) The songs ended and the guy that worked there told the lady who was judging to pick some little kid who was just goofing off in the back, and then the lady was like "that girl right there, in the blue" so, I ended up winning a shirt. After that embarassing event, mom and I went over to watch the diving show cuz I had to check out this guy Andy. We got lunch a little after that and then went home cuz we were both so tired. We went and got my sister after a little nap and then hung out while my bro and his friend watched some movie.
The next morning we got up to go to the fair again and ended up getting there around 9 o'clock. Nothing was really open yet so we got some breakfast and then went into some buildings. Around 10:45 mom left to go hang out with TooTall and MaryPat while Camille, Hank, and I went to do our thing. We ended up going to this CD place and then this Spray Paint place cuz my bro wanted to watch the girl make another picture. So while we were standing there, this band called "the Sidewalk Stompers" came out from the New Balance stand across the way. They were playing some music and then one of the saxaphone players comes over to the crowd and starts talking to this lady saying that he needed her to go up and help them out with something. Well, the lady refused to go up so the guy turns and looks at me and grabs my hand and pulls me out to "Help them out." They had me do some lame "Clown dance" and then they made me sit on this guys lap while they sang "Let me call you sweetheart" to me. It was soooo embarassing. After we left there, we met with my mom and went and got some lunch at Lupe's and Boom Boom. We hung out for a litte bit and talked to Muff cuz he was working at Boom Boom, and then we found out that the owners are gonna be opening a restaurant next spring at the old "A Place Called Country." We went to Cole Muffler Court to see Jim Belushi and the Sacred Hearts, and Brad Paisley came out as a guest performer. I was so psyched cuz I really wanted to go to his concert at the grandstand. After that we left to go home and we rented Two Towers again.
I think I pretty much covered the details of the past few days, and if I remember anything else I'll just have to come back and write about it later.

Oh man, I'm such a tard. i was thinking out loud the other day and I said "this year is either gonna be really easy, or really hard...or in between" DUH!! What else could it be? I'm such a loser.
This year should be pretty interesting, my teachers are pretty cool and I think I'm gonna end up doing some new things instead of just sticking with all the old stuff. i think this next June I'm gonna end up going to England with the Walker Exchange. I went to the meeting with Nick, and I think we're both gonna end up going. If i do go it's gonna be so much fun, Nick would be going, and so would Jess and Meggie.
I've been getting really nervous lately. I have no idea what I'm going to do after graduation. I know that I'll be going to college but I have no idea what for yet. I get so nervous cuz it feels like everyone else I talk to knows exactly what they want to do. I thought I knew what I wanted to do, but now I don't know. All I know is that it should be a rough couple of years for that decision to be made.
Our last tennis match is Thursday next week and Volleyball is starting this Sunday so it looks like even my time away from sports won't be time away from sports.

I don't think that I have too much more to say except, ***AL- DON'T FORGET ABOUT THE PLAN!! OCTOBER 14TH!!***

This has been one of the most mixed feelings week I've ever had in my life. At the beginning of the week I was doing ok, I was winning my tennnis matches and I was having fun with my friends in and out of school. Then Friday morning everything just kept getting worse. I got up kind of later than I had planned to but with still plenty of time to get ready for school. I heard my parents trying to find the cat because the door had been left open and she had gotten out again. I hurried up and got ready and I was outside early so I could help look for her. My mom was standing next to her car and she said "I found the cat. She's on the road." And there was my cat literally on the road. She was hit by a car. I immediately started balling my eyes out and ran into my room. My brother had a total cow and started screaming. I wanted to stay home so bad and just cry but my mom was like "come on, you have to go to school, crying's not going to bring her back" I was so pissed that she died that all I could think was "how the hell do you know, has anyone ever tried?" It was so hard becuase like I told Nick "she was a youngin'"
I ended up going to school but had one of the longest days ever. My friends helped me not be so bummed out, so that kind of helped. In studyhall Shan, Jess, Heather and I made "The X List" which was pretty funny and that helped get my mind off of everything. I had a tennis match against Jordan Elbridge, which I won cuz I was so pissed that I jst smashed the crap out of everything. Sometimes I went a little too hard and I just ended up whaling the ball into the fence wall behind the girl I was playing against. I just kept saying I was doing Danielle's angry tennis player move. (which wasn't too far from the truth) After the match I went and got pizza and a movie with my mom and we lounged around until my mom had to go get my brother from the soccer game.
Today I got up kinda late and did some laundry cuz I figured clothes would be a nice thing to have after I got out of the shower. Then I went to the S.U. game with Nick and then went to the Varsity afterwards. It was pretty helpful in getting Zoe (my cat) off my mind, but ended up getting my trip to England even more on my mind. I can't wait to go. It's gonna be so much fun, expecially since I get to go with my friends, without my parents, and for 3 weeks. I can't wait.

I should probably go since I have volleyball tomorrow and I need to finish a DBQ, and some English before I go.

last 4 years of my life

rudy325 — 2003-10-28T05:10:00-05:00

Well, since I haven't updated this baby in quite some time, I figured it was about time to let you all in on the last 4 years of my life (as I like to say).
Well tennis ended THANK GOD (even though I'm not really into the whole church/god thing) and I started volleyball pre-season a few weeks ago. So much for a break in between. It's not really that big of a deal it's just that I've got so much going on right now. I'm pretty impressed with myself actually cuz I've got so much extra-curricular activities, besides sports. I started tutoring at the DMS for this girl Emily, I'm technically in SADD, (even though I haven't been able to go to a full meeting cuz every time I've had another meeting to go to) I'm part of Teen Institute and am going on the trip to the leadership seminar thing from Nov. 6-9, I'm doing some stuff for Walker Exchange cuz I'm going to New Castle this next summer, and on top of all that I've done tennis, am going to double volleyball practices and am gonna end up doing track this spring. (Wow talk about being winded...well, computer winded.) I really am pretty impressed with myself cuz I've had so much personal stuff going on and I've still been able to participate in all this stuff while keeping my grades up. It's kinda hard not to keep my grades up though cuz all my classes are so easy, especially chem and pre-calc. U.S. is kinda pissin me off though cuz she won't tell us our grades after we take tests and stuff so you never know exactly how you're doing.
I'm sooo excited about Oct. 29th cuz The OC is coming back!!!!! Not only is the show amazing but Seth is the funniest person ever.

Whoa I gotta go cuz I have to go to Sami's and I still have some stuff to do before I go. I'll have to write later.

"Life is nothing but a bunch of lousy Fridays" ~Madonia

rudy325 — 2003-11-02T11:11:00-05:00

This past weekend was so much fun. Friday night I went with the girls to a haunted house in Auburn and it was amazing. I went through it with Kate and Nick, and I don't remember ever being more scared in my entire life. It was so funny cuz when Kate gets scared she stops moving and everytime something scary came towards us Nick had to drag her through while I pushed. We ran out of that place screaming but then already decided to go to an even scarrier one next year. After the haunted house, Nick, Le, and I went over to Jen's house and watched Ghost Ship which really wasn't that scary, regardless of what Jen might say. Then Jen, Le and I stayed up until about 3:30 playing this computer game that Jen had while Nick slept. It was really funny to play because we were so out of it and it required some thinking so when we would be thinking of the answers to type in, all we could think of was what was right in front of us to begin with (Hey Le and Jen, clap your hands backwards and then look in a mirror. That's how stupid we looked. :) ) That morning we got up at 7:20 cuz we were getting picked up at 7:30. We dropped Le off and then Nick and I got ready at her house and went down to the bus garage to do the bottle drive for Walker Exchange. We went and picked up with Jess and Adam and then split up so that Jess and Adam went on one street and Nick and I went with Mrs. Finkle onto Kencrest. Nick left early to go to the church for some harvest dinner and then Jess and I went out onto another street after she dropped Adam off. Around 12 we left and Jess brought me home and from there I started watching a movie but fell asleep about 15 minutes into it. I woke up around 7 but then just watched some t.v. in my room and fell asleep around 9:30.

That was my eventful weekend up until now. Now I have to work on some homework before volleyball at 3.

This past weekend was the best weekend of my life. I went to Camp Long Point for Teen Institute and it was the most amazing time ever. I met the most incredible people and I made a ton of new friends, all of which I hope I keep in touch with. It was so much fun to go there and be able to not care about what other people think and to be able to tell the people around you how you feel and what you think. My family group was the best cuz of all the people. Pat-OMG thank you so much for being there for me and becoming my friend. I hope we keep in touch for a long time. Ryan-Thank you so much for making this weekend fun for us and making sure it was memorable. I know I'll never forget it. Tyler-You're seriously the coolest Skan person i will ever meet in my life. You're the coolest and I hope we keep in touch. Allie-You're seriously the cutest person I've ever met. Don't be afraid of the mouse traps, they don't hurt. If I were you I'd be more afraid of those darn outlets. :) Lauren-We didn't get to talk too much but you had the best smile, it just made everyone around you in a better mood. Mike-Hey buddy, you better cut back on the dayquill or Judith might say you're not stepping out of your comfort zone :) Ashley-I don't think I've ever met a more shy person, but I'm glad I got to meet you cuz then it gave the rest of us the opportunity to try and make you laugh or smile. That goofy smile is gonna stick with me forever. Heather-Good luck at your school and I hope your wedding is amazing. Hopefully if I go back again next year I'll see you again. Judith-I'm so happy that I got to meet you. I hope we all helped to make your last year the best and I hope you have fun in Cali with your hubby. :)

Everyone from T.I. was the best and I don't think I've ever met so many incredible people before in my life. I miss you all already and I hope that even if I didn't get to meet some of you I will through e-mails and IM.

YESS!!!!

rudy325 — 2003-11-13T07:11:00-05:00

I was so pumped today. I found out that my Chemistry average for this first marking period is a 99!!! I was so excited cuz I was afraid it was gonna be around a 95. Today was pretty good day besides that anyways though..except for all the damn snow! Besides getting over the fact that I failed my Pre-Calc quiz terribly yesterday I realized how good my average is going to be anyways cuz it's not on the last marking period and I know that that one is going to be the one I"m dropping for the 2nd marking period. OBviously Chem was good, and then the pep rally for the soccer team got us out of class early. I did a big fat nothing during my study hall besides re-writing my part of the letter to Christa. U.S. was really easy too cuz all we did was review for a test I'm taking tomorrow that I think I'll be fine on. Then I had lunch, study hall (where I went and water-painted with Jess, Heather and Shannon), and Spanish where I made up a test. So you can tell how much work had to be done in my afternoon. Tomorrow should be pretty easy too cuz no one is gonna be there cuz everyone is going to Rochester to watche the girls play in the state quarter finals. Hopefully I'll just have a ton of study halls like I did the last time the "spectators" got out of school early.

I should probably go cuz I need to get my beauty sleep for my big day tomorrow. I'll check in sometime in the next couple of weeks if I'm lucky.

Damn blogs!

rudy325 — 2003-11-19T03:11:00-05:00

Alright so these blog things are beginning to piss me off. I swear I've tried posting stuff in mine about 5 times and every time I click for it to go in it says that the blog was successful but then it doesn't show up. So hopefully this one will actually come up on my blog. Another thing with these blogs. I visited Rob's blog a few days ago and the link stayed in my computer so now everytime I try going to mine I end up on his. It's such a pain. I have a feeling my computer doesn't like me too much...
Anyways to get away from the whole pissed off factor I'll go to the volleyball factor. We have a scrimmage today against West Genny and one on Friday against B-ville. I'm not really that nervous or anything it's just that I have this humongous bruise on my knee and everytime I dive or fall it gets bigger and bigger. I figure by Friday it will be about twice the size it is now. It's not that bad though, it only hurts when I play, walk, sit or stand up so you know...only a little bit :) But seriously it will probably get better, it usually does after I've gotten used to it.
I'm trying to figure out this whole TI thing. I was talking to some people and I think we're gonna plan on going to hang out and see a movie or something so if anyone in TI sees this and wants to go LET ME KNOW!! I'll put something up on an away message or something like that too so if you see this later than when I entered it...no worries.

Alright well I should go cuz I have to get all my stuff together for tonight... Wish me luck!!

peace out

Oh man! Wednesday's scrimmage against West Genny was pretty good but Friday's scrimmage aginst B-ville was amazing. Besides the fact that I was already having a really good day, when we got there we totally kicked ass. And when I say that I mean that we did well as a team. (If anyone from B-ville is reading this I'm not saying you guys sucked) Our games were pretty close and some of those hits were imposible to get up. I think that Marcellus did really well and I think we'll have a good season as long as everyone works their ass off, instead of...well, not working their asses off. Our first game is on Monday at JD. I'm kinda nervous cuz this one actually counts. I think I'll do alright as long as I don't let my nerves take over.
I'm so excited cuz tomorrow morning I actually get to SLEEP IN. I don't have any homework or anything so I think I'm just gonna hang out until I have to show up to celebrate my dad's birthday and then leave as soo as possible. I went to get the last part of his present today and boy was that a nightmare, considering I don't even wanna be at home tomorrow for his "Party." I told my mom that I was just gonna put his present on the table and then leave and I think I'm actually going to follow through with that plan. Hopefully if I get stuck staying there then it won't last that long.
Coming home from practice today was really weird. I was in Marcellus for about 5 minutes and I saw 3 different cars pulled over by one cop. My mom and I were joking around about how he must have been trying to meet a quota and then she started teasing me cuz I was driving and we were saying that if I got pulled over he probably would have counted it for 2. I only have my permit and I probably would have cried or something so he would have walked from my car feeling pretty good. After that I went home and then realized that I had to go back into Marcellus cuz I left part of my dad's present in my locker. So as I was going through Marcellus the second time, I saw another 2 cars pulled over and decided to leave Marcellus through the opposite side near Gorge Road.
So as you can see my day wasn't too eventful and I know tomorrow probably won't be too big a deal either. Hopefully Monday will be good, but then again, how often are Mondays good days?

rudy325 — 2003-11-28T06:11:00-05:00

Alright so my week has been pretty boring. Except that after the last amazingly long week at school last week this one has been a breeze. After school on Tuesday I had practice and then I got ready and went over to Nicole's for a while. It was so much fun cuz all we did was watch the Britney Spears video online and then work on our "senior project." I put it in quotation marks because we aren't totally positive if this is what we are gonna do, but we're pretty sure it will be something all those lines. We worked on the routine we're gonna do and then we watched Legally Blond 2...by the way I don't recommend seeing it, highly over-rated. After that it was about 11 o'clock so I had to go because I had to get up at 6:3- the next morning to be ready for my ride for the tournament. By the way this was one of the most painful tournaments I have ever been to, minus my first year of club at Penn State and the team camp I went to 2 years ago. My arm was killing me and our competition weren't exactly the easiest teams to play against. It was pretty good to do though since we're gonna have our work cut out for us this year. We lost to Caz at the tourny so now Hy's pretty pissed at us and it just proved that we're gonna have to work twice as hard to go all the way again this year.
Thanksgiving was pretty boring considering I was so tired that I didn't even get up to go to our annual football game at the Mahar's and then I ate some food and painted and then went back to bed until about9 this morning. Once I got up this morning though I got going on some Christmas shopping with my mom. I've been thinking about Loren a lot ever since I found out her grandfather died, so I decided to get her Christmas presents and she's totally gonna like them!!! :) Anyways, after I finished shopping for her I got some of my sister's presents out of the way. then I came home and now I'm typing this entry for all you viewers. I should probably go though since I have to get up early for another tournament tomorrow.

"Rita!! Shake it off!" mom trying to sound like dad...

rudy325 — 2003-11-29T04:11:00-05:00

Alright so I began today with another bright and early wake up call in order to be ready for the bus to Fulton (Volleyball tourny) I got up around 6:20 and got all my stuff together. Once we got into Marcellus we went to the Mobile-Mart...cough*Marcellus hang out* cough... and I got some food for today. I got this sandwich drink deal where I get this sandwich and then a 32-oz. soda. (Which I had no intention of drinking) So we're on the way to the school and it's getting kinda late so my mom's speeding a little bit, and when she went to turn onto Mustang Hill...SPLASH! The soda went all over the foot area behind the passenger seat. I tried grabbing it before it fell but the damn seatbelt thing, the one that holds you in when you're going fast or stopping really quick, held me back so I started getting mad and my mom was like "What happened?" So naturally all I stated was that the soda was in the backseat and she says "So" and then I had to explain that it was literally in the backseat and no longer in the cup... At least I know where I get my slowness. Anyway when we pulled up towards the bus I was kind of upset and my mom was like "Rita!! Shake it off!" This totally pissed me off because if any of you know my dad, that's exactly how he talks. He used to be in the army and while he was in the army he was a boxer so he's big on the whole no crying/suck it up kind of deal. Well this wouldn't be so bad but he started saying that to us when we were really little so after a while it got kind of old and you eventually just got pissed that he said it in the first place. Anyways, the bus ride to Fulton was a pain since I hate riding in those damn buses and it took forever to get there because it was snowing so much. Once we got there it wasn't that bad, until I realized that I was playing every game for the whole day and we played 14 games. My arm is yet again amazingly sore and I think it's worse than last time. At least at this tournament I was able to get yelled at more than the last time, and not only by the coach but by the team too...shoot me in the head please. It doesn't really bother me that much that they yell at me, it's just that after a while they're yelling cuz the whole team is doing bad and obviously they're not gonna yell at the seniors or our amazing setter Caitlin, so who's left? Me. Hopefully it'll get better since these tournaments are helping us to get ready for our games. Next weekend we have the Central Square tourny and I'm seriously DREADING IT. I guess last year it took all day long, and to be completely honest with you I'm not sure if another day of playing volleyball all the time is the best thing to help my shoulder get better.
Well I should go since I still need to take a shower and I should probably do some reading from the book that I swore I was gonna read over this vacation...haven't read any yet... I'll try and write as soon as anything exciting happens.

My weekend from Hell

rudy325 — 2003-12-09T09:12:00-05:00

Alright so you think you had it bad this weekend? It's probably nothing compared to my weekend.

Alright so ALL DAY Saturday I had a tournament at Central Square which I had to be up at 6:30 for so I could be ready in time for my ride with Vicki, Jessie, and "O" to P&C. After we picked up items from the essential food groups (chips, crackers, muffins, and flavored water), we headed back towards the school along Howlett Hill road. When we got towards Marcellus more, at the end of Dunbar woods where there's a turn before the straight away in front of Falls road, Vicki was going a wee bit too fast and we definitely fish tailed, spun out and then ended up in the ditch. We were all just kind of sitting there for a second and O was saying holy fuck like it was her job and then all of a sudden Vicki just put it in Reverse and backed us right on out. As we were pulling back onto the road this bitchy lady was driving by and was shaking her head at us. And not only was she shaking her head, but she wouldn't stop and we were still pulling out so we were perpendicular with the road. Once we got to the school we made sure everyone knew about the accident cuz it was amazing that we just pulled out. (I probably would have sat there, pulled out my cell phone and cried to my mom that I got in an accident)

Anyways, we got to the tournament and it sucked big time cuz I had to play every game and there were definitely about 11 games that day. But what made it suck even more than it already did was that I was supposed to go over to Loren's house after I got home but it I knew it was gonna be too late. And even after I had to call her and tell her that I probably wasn't gonna be able to go, we only came in second. Shoot myself in the head after having to play all those games and then lose to B-ville who we already beat earlier in the day. We might have had a better chance if Candy hadn't of left early but we still should have done better. It was a nightmare.

When I got home from the tournament I opened the door and my mom told me there was an early birthday present. I don't know if she meant for me or for her cuz her brithday was the next day, but on the couch was cat. Yes, another one. I was kinda bummed cuz I really didn't want another cat. Oh well though. She's amazingly cute and she still doesn't have a name. I usually just call her cutie anyways. Well after I laid down on the couch for about 2 minutes I fell asleep and then made myself go to bed. The next morning I woke up and chilled on the couch until my mom told me to clean something on our hutch. I told her I would but if you know me then you know that when I say I'll do something it doesn't necessarily mean that I'll do it right at that moment. Well apparently this wasn't good enough for my dad so he asked my brother if he would do it and then I told him that I would cuz mom asked me to do it and not hank. Then we got into this huge argument which basically ended in me telling him "Fuck You." I believe those were my exact words...maybe I should have held my tongue? Well I spent the rest of Sunday sleeping and I felt terrible cuz it was my mom’s birthday and it turned out to be even shittier than a usual day at the Church House. Monday (Yesterday) morning I woke up and got ready for school and when I got there I swear it went by slower than a church mass. (Technically it did since church is only about an hour and school is 7, but you know what I mean) After that really long day I had to go home and mope around in my room cuz I didn't want to see anyone and then I had practice from 7-9 which sucked the big one cuz they always go late and they're usually a little harder than usual. This morning I got up and got ready for school (which meant dressing up since I had a game today) and then I went to school. It was another long day because I had to tutor but the girl I tutor is a major pain in the ass since she never shows up and she lies all the time. Today I went down there but she had detention so I couldn't meet with her so now I'm supposed to meet her on Thursday. (Shoot me please) After I got home I fell asleep before I had to go to the game. I did no homework during JV game and then for ours I played all three games. It was actually a good day for me. I was doing pretty well. When all the guys show up it makes it more fun. You can always tell when you're at a Marcellus game because the fans always get yelled at. When I got home I had to take my shower and then I found a stack of mail from colleges for me that I now have to got through and figure out what's junk and what's not. I'll write again when something beats this entry.

hell of a day

rudy325 — 2003-12-11T07:12:00-05:00

Alright so yesterday I stayed home from school and I didn't miss too much but today when I went in I felt so sick it wasn't even funny. I skipped 1st first period and I went to the nurses and slept. After that I started feeling better and I basically just sat in my classes and did nothing. During U.S. I found out what I got on my PSAT and that wasn't that great of an experience since I didn't do too great. I'm not really worried though cuz I didn't study at all and we took them before I learned any new stuff so I think I'll be fine when I take my SAT's and ACT's in May and June. I'm almost definitely taking my SAT's twice so I can send in whichever one I want in my applications so hopefully after the first time I take it I'll do even better the second time.

Today after school I was resting before I had to get ready for v-ball then as I was getting my stuff together I got a call from Vicki at 4:30 saying that we had practice at 4:30 and that Hy told us the day before at practice....but I wasn't at practice the day before. Anyways I got there late and then practice was amazingly easy so it was a pretty good night volleyball wise. By the way I'm listening to some music right now on my headphones so if this doesn't sound right at some parts then you know why.

Well I should go cuz I have to watch friends, do some homework, and then take a shower all before I go to bed.

P.S. I'm so pupmed cuz I kept thinking tomorrow was the 15th for some reason, which meant that my U.S. project would be due, and I haven't exactly gottentoo far on it yet. ;-)

right...

rudy325 — 2003-12-26T07:12:00-05:00

Ok well I haven't updated this baby in a while (not that I'm saying there's a whole lot to update in here) so I figured now's as good a time as any to update. And since I can't remember the last thing I put in here I'll just put what's been going on VERY recently.

Alright well we lost to Skaneatles, and won against Solvay and Cazenovia. I'm technically in club but I'm probably gonna tell Hy that I'm quitting because there is no way I'm gonna make it through both the regular season and club while keeping up my grades and still staying in all my clubs. Oh yeah and speaking of clubs, I'm somehow managed to get myself into the All Shool Show, even though I have absolutely no time for it. Christmas was like usual. I woke up to my sister saying that I had to get up because it was Christmas...thank you Camille, cuz you know, I figured that on Christmas eve when I fell asleep I'd wake up and it would magically skip over Christmas or something. Anyways, after gifts and a movie, I went to my grandparents house...shoot myself because of all the little ones and because I kept on getting money that I can't spend. I have to put it all in the bank for England so I think that was even worse then having to listen to the little kids scream. After that I drove home cuz dad and Camille both had about 5 glasses of Irish Creme (due to my grandfather's excessive need to rapidly refill any glass that wasn't full to the brim) then when we got home I hung out for a while and played a game of Cranium witht he fam dam.

Tomorrow is our annual Mexican Dinner and I'm kinda pissed because I'm not going to be here for a while. I have a tournament at FM and I don't know how long it's going to last. Either way it doesn't matter though. Even if it does end kind of early it's still gonna be around 7, (at least that's early compared to our other tournaments) and the party starts at 6, except for our usual early birds who help out with some stuff. Then I get to come home all gross from playing and konk out on my bed because I'll be so tired. I hate sports. On top of my hate of sports, I'm still really sick. Hopefully tomorrow morning at around 6:30 or 7 we'll get this huge snow storm that will cancel the tournament but will then clear up in time for everyone to come to the party. Just think, all I need now is for the weather conditions to rapidly change or the weather men to be very wrong. I think I have a better chance with the weather men.

Alright kiddies well I better be going. I have to help clean up for the shin dig that I won't even be attending tomorrow.

yeah me too

rudy325 — 2004-01-13T09:01:00-05:00

Alright well I haven't updated this baby in a while and the only reason I'm updating now is because I just remembered that I had this baby in the first place.

Stuff's been pretty hectic I guess. I've had to deal with basically everything you can imagine plus one. It's weird though cuz even as busy ad I've been I haven't been too busy not to do stuff with my friends which kinda makes it seem even more busy cuz then my spare time isn't really spare time anymore, it's friends time. Not that I'm complaining, I'll take hide and seek in Nick's basement over doing nothing any day. haha

V-ball's going alright I guess, nothing too exciting. We've still only lost to Skan and everyone else in the league has lost to each other. Usually the league is pretty straightforward, Marcellus, Caz, and Skaneatles do really well and then everyone else kinda of just trickles behind. But this season is sooo different. Skan has only lost to Solvay who we beat, Solvay beat Caz, Caz lost to us and to Skan, Cortland beat Solvay, Chittenango beat Solvay...it's all f-ed up. We have a game tomorrow at Chittenango and I guess it's supposed to be a big deal since they beat Solvay but I'm not really too worried about it.

All school show is kind of sucking, but I should have known that since it's the all school show. I've only gone to 1 rehearsal out of.... 4? But there's not a whole lot I can do about it. T.I. is getting to be kind of stressful cuz Mr. Jenny is such a pain in the ass and I don't always feel like sitting there having him say "hold on hold on" or "wait a minute wait a minute" when we already know what we're talking about. We have to do these presentations on Friday and I guess we'll be alright but I'll probably be kind of nervous since we haven't done anything like this yet. I was supposed to start tutoring this new kid last week but I've had to wait to hear from Mr. Wing who was supposed to tell Ms. Larose. But that hasn't happened yet so I don't know what to do and I'm getting kind of sick and tired of calling the middle school guidance office everyday.

Lunch has been kind of funny lately. Connect 4, Peej's first party, Meggie's getting a cookie, we're gonna stuff Sami like a pig, and Ali...she's got a little bit of everything going on with her. PJ started coming over to sit with us after a while and then I found out that he went to Garvy's for the party, the same party that I was gonna go to but then backed out of cuz I figured I should probably save my liver after the whole "fun times" over vacation. I guess it's a good thing I didn't go, I heard it was crazy cuz of all the weed and I guess someone from OCS pulled a gun or something. Oh well. It probably would have been fun but what's Rita minus one party.... Rita minus one party.

Alright well I should go since I have to take my shower tonight so I can blow dry my hair out tomorrow morning...if we have school. I'll write again when I remember that I have this.

pEaCE ouT,

AHOY

rudy325 — 2004-01-19T11:01:00-05:00

Alright so my weekend was alright. Considering it started on Wednesday because of all the snow days and having today off. (Except that I don't know if today would have counted as being off)

Alright so last week I didn't do a whole lot because well, why would I? Having no school really makes you realize how much those extra nights of partying count. haha Friday night I couldn't do a whole lot though because I had a tournament Saturday. It was home though so it wasn't too bad. We won and then after I went home and was really lazy about getting ready to go out to dinner and then we went to Jalapenos. It was really good but not as good as some of mom's cookin'. mmm mmm good. Then Sunday I went up to Highland Forest for this shin dig and that was pretty fun. I got home around 5:30 so after that I hung out for a while and watched some football. I started watching the Eagles game but I had to stop and make myself go to bed because I knew if I watched it was just gonna be disappointing. Then this morning I had to get up at 5:20 because I had a 6am bus for the tournament we were going to in Webster. Let me just say that this tournament wouldn't have even been that bad but I totally fucked up my hand. I went to dive for one going on my side and as I went down my hand slammed into the floor. So now my hand is pretty bruised which made me think of Freshmen year when I didn't want to go to a track meet so I made Rob hit my hand as hard as he could. Good times. We came in 3rd so that wasn't that bad but we didn't play too great in our last games so I don't know how Hy's gonna act with that.

tomorrow I have a game against Solvay and I don't know how that's going to go because they beat Skan and Skan beat us but they also lost to Cortland who we killed. We won the first time we played then but I don't really remember a whole lot about those games. To tell you the truth I'm kinda getting sick over all this v-ball crap. I feel retarded saying crap about v-ball because it's really not that big of a deal since it's a game, but hanging out with the team makes it seem more like drama than a sport. (But then again, with our team everything is somewhat of a drama)

Alright well I should go to bed because I have to get up early for school tomorrow. And I bet I know how much fun it'll be to go tomorrow...oh yeah ZERO FUN. At least I have this next weekend to look forward to. It should be fun Nick!

peACE ouT,

What the hell bitch!

rudy325 — 2004-02-10T10:02:00-05:00

Alright so yeah... I typed up this whole entry and then as I was about to finish it up I started goofing around with the comp because I pushed something that made my favorites pop up on the side of the screen. Then when I went to try it again I pushed control-R, which by the way does NOT bring up the favorites screen. In fact, it refreshes the page and I lost my entry.... What the hell! Ok well since I already let out my anger from practice in the first time I typed it, I'll save everyone the agony of having to hear about it themselves. Instead I'll just give the basic's. Hy's a pain, school sux, first game of sectionals on Thursday, and only a 45 minute practice tomorrow. It doesn't sound too bad once I type it all out but going through all this crap isn't as easy as it sounds. i seriously need a day to just sleep. I fell like I haven't gotten enough sleep but then again I guess it's kind of my own fault. This past weekend I did stuff with my friends and didn't go to bed until late and then there's been practices, tutoring, trying to make sure I've got all my homeowrk done, and trying to leep up with all the college info that I need to stay on top of. Yeah yeah I know... "you want some cheese with that?" At least this weekend it won't matter as much when I go out with the girls because we have break the whole next week, minus practices and all school show.

Alright well I'm done complaing for now. I'll complain again later :)

love, Rita

no subject

rudy325 — 2004-02-19T07:02:00-05:00

OK so I haven't updated in a while but there's not much to say. I have a HUMONGOUS game Saturday at CNS and I'm unbelievably nervous but if I wasn't then I guess that would be even more weird. I guess the main reason I don't have a lot to say in this is because volleyball has been my life for the past 4 million years so after we get through however far we end up making it then maybe I'll have more to tell about. Until then, adios amigos...Friends is on! :)

Guess what!!!!!

rudy325 — 2004-02-29T03:02:00-05:00

Ok so yeah I keep getting these e-mails telling me that I haven't updated my blog in a while so I figure now's a pretty good time to do it since yesterday was amazing. So, yeah, guess what.... WE WON REGIONALS!!! I couldn't believe it. We had to play this team from Pittsford for the finals but we were all pretty nervous because we had to play them at a tournament earlier this year and they killed us. But what was even more amazing was that we beat them in 3 games, and we heard that they hadn't lost more than two games in a row the whole season. It was pretty sweet.

Not much more than that needs to be said right now because to be honest not a whole lot more than volleyball has been going on lately. Track will be starting soon but I'm not sure if I'm definitely going to do it. We're supposed to have a meeting on Wednesday to meet the new coach so I guess I'll know if I want to or not after that. I'll probably end up doing it though because it's way too much fun hanging out with everyone. Plus this is the last year Le and I can hang out with Bill and Peter and all of the seniors. If I missed out on that... well It wouldn't be fun.

So, Wednesday's my birthday but I don't know how much I'm going to do for it since I don't really want to do anything for it. Hand me some money and say happy birthday and I'm good. :) Haha Just kidding.

Alright well I should go since I wasn't home at all yesterday and I need to pick some stuff up and do some homework.

Goodbye Poppet (haha Le :))

Rita

whew

rudy325 — 2004-03-08T05:03:00-05:00

Well today was the first day of track and it wasn't that bad. We (throwers) only had to run 2 perimeters and then we had to go lift about a milliion pounds. The lifting kind of hurt though because my shoulders were so sore from running. (I know it sounds weird, but it happens)

School was ok but not that great. Besides the fact that it's a monday and I think that my antibiotic isn't working out too well, classes seemed amazingly long and tedious. We really didn't do too much but it was just that kind of a day. I can't wait until this year is over. I don't think I can take some of my teachers too much longer, but it's not that big of a secret why I can't take them. Weaver is just about the worst teacher I've ever had in my life. He sits there and talks for almost half the class but then tells us all this stuff we're supposed to have done by the next day. (without really explaining how to do it) He's like a giant advertisement or something. He sits there and talks about anything that he's involved in; ski club, baseball, movie club, debate club, blah blah blah. Then there's Madonia... do I even need to say anything about him? If you don't have him or don't know about him then boy you'll love this one. He's one of the biggest liars you will ever talk to. He swears he's a strict Republican, (he's a democrat) he says he lives in Braeside,(he lives in Camillus) he says he doesn't own a car,(he drives a white car to school every day) says he grew up in Spain and that his wife and dog still live there (or something like that) he loves anything to do with White Plains, and he has the worst fake accent EVER. Thank god I'm not taking Spanish next year. I love it when he talks about his students going into Spanish 5 and then he says my name in the list (like I'm going to be in that class) but actually I already made sure that I'm not in it next year and I signed up for Latin. :) I can't wait until school's over.

Pat talked to me the other day and he left this amazingly sweet message for me. I haven't gotten a chance to talk to him yet but when I get a chance hopefully I can let him know that he's the coolest guy I know.

Alright well I should go because I have some stuff to do... I don't know what exactly yet but I'll think of something to do. :) Oh yeah, and I need to go be a loyal fan to my idol; Rob... there's got to be something better to do. J/K Robby!

Peace out

Rita

yeah

rudy325 — 2004-03-10T09:03:00-05:00

Alright so day 3 of track and I don't know if it's just me or not but our practices seem to be getting longer and longer. Our new coach is kind of track-happy. She kinda seems like she's going to make everyone do every event. For example, today she started showing the throwers stuff about pole vaulting....right like any of us are going to pole vault. It's not like the practices are hard or anything, it's just that it seems like we do a lot of useless stuff that we're not going to do during the meets.

Today after practice I came home and then from 7 to 8:30 i went to tennis with Alex. It was alright, but I remembered the reason I put my tennis stuff away....some of my hits aren't looking too pretty right now. It was kind of funny because there was this guy there who was from Morrisville Eaton but he was there because he's going to OCC next year and he got stuck with this old guy. It was soo funny because everytime the younger guy would get a good shot, the older guy would go for the next one but somehow he kept falling over himself and then finally one time he completely wiped out. I have to admit that I found it a little hard not to laugh out loud. After the hitting clinic I was waiting for my ride outside of the gym with Alex and we had a conversation about prom and how we all wanted to go with dates (but just as friends) so now I think I know who I'm going to ask but I'm not too sure yet. I have a feeling it might be kind of weird asking him to go but I know that if he says yes then I'll have a good time. Oh yeah, and speaking of prom, if anyone reads this, I still think we should go to korky's or something to play pool. I really don't feel like going and hanging out somewhere for an hour (doing nothing at the after the prom party) and then going over to someone's house (and doing nothing) If that's what ends up happening then I don't know what I'm going to do after prom because I know if I end up doing nothing then I'll be bored out of my mind. Hopefully we'll find something good to do.

Alright well I should get myself to bed. It's been a long day and I need to be up early enough to get all of my track stuff together.

Peace out,

Rita

soooo.....

rudy325 — 2004-03-14T03:03:00-05:00

Alright well there's not too much to say lately. Track's alright but as you probably guessed not that great, school still sucks but I guess it always will, and Marcellus parties are kinda sucky.... but I take it you all probably knew those things.

Friday I went to a party in Marcellus but it wasn't that great so I ended up leaving with Heta and rob and went over to Adam's house. We didn't do too much but it was still better than the other party. Yesterday I basically did nothing because all of the plans I had made ended up not working out. (not that I'm upset about missing whatever it was that was going on in Solvay haha) So instead of just doing completely nothing I ended up renting The Ring only to find out that it's really not that scary the second time you see it. :( Then there's today. Now today I really did do absolutely nothing (unless you count playing some fun games with my mom... she really is cooler than I give her credit for) The sad thing is that I have stuff to do. Homework to be exact. I'm just too lazy to do it. Actually, I take that back, I'm not too lazy. I just don't want to do it. :)

I should probably go do the homework that I don't want to do. I don't want to get stuck doing it all tomorrow now do I?

peace out homies,

Rita

fun fun

rudy325 — 2004-03-20T08:03:00-05:00

Alright so you know the deal, not much is going on, blah blah blah, school sux, blah blah blah, track's rough, blah blah blah. I think you get the picture.

So for real now, not much has been going on. Last week I was pretty sick so I stayed home mostly and then yesterday I had track from 1:30 until about 3:15 and from there I went down to the library and then over to babysitting for Hy and Mary. I stayed until about 10ish and then when I got home I was so pooped out that I just went straight to bed. I know you're jealous of my Saturday night. Today I went to the Galleries with my mom to get some stuff done and then a little later in the day I went to the mall with Kate and Lauren. We picked out the fabric for the blanket that Kate's making me and then shopped around for a little. After the mall I got home just in time to watch the SU/Maryland game. Let me just say that tonight was definitely a good night for some basketball. SU had an amzing win and Alabama pulled out a nice upset over Stanford.

Alright well that's about all I've done in the last few days so now I'm going to go hang out and see if anything's going on tonight.

Peace out,

Rita

Peace out,

no subject

rudy325 — 2004-03-27T11:03:00-05:00

Alright so I guess some stuff has been going on. Not a whole lot, but some. Track still sucks and I almost quit but I didn't want to quit. I just wanted Gilbert to leave me alone and stop bitching about everything. Besides, it's too much fun hanging out with everyone and making new track memories. (there are some good ones) School is pretty boring because I've had so much work to do that I haven't had time to do much of anything else.

I was thinking about some stuff the other day, about some of my old friends, and I realized that I really miss them. Like some of the people from TI. It would be so nice to see them again but for some reason every time an opporunity comes up it doesn't work out. Like this semi formal thing that we're supposed to have, I'm not going to be able to go. Most people would say that "it's a sign" but I don't want it to be. I think I'm going to look at it as "when I finally do see them, it will be even better than if I saw them all the time" Hopefully I'll get a chance to see some of them soon.

Tonight a ton of us (aka "the gang") are going over to Kate's house to hang out and look at some ideas for prom. And I guess she rented Mona Lisa Smile so it should be a fun night. Hopefully we'll figure out what exactly we're doing for prom. I think all we've got right now is that we plan on going to the after the prom party and then staying up all night so we can go out to breakfast together the next morning. So, there's a lot of stuff to figure out still. I decided to go ahead and ask Pat to prom and hopefully he can go. He has to wait until his dad gets home to find out so until then I'll just have to be patient and hope that he can go.

I should probably go now so I can work on a US project that's due Monday and that I haven't really gotten too much of done.

Peace out,

Rita

Yaya!!

rudy325 — 2004-03-31T01:03:00-05:00

Ok so I'm in school right now and I have nothing to do so I think that this is the perfect opportunity to let everyone know what's been going on, as little as there may be to tell.

So Pat told me that he can go to prom with me and I'm sooooooooooo excited. I talked with him for about forever yesterday and maybe the topic of conversation helped :) (you can join me anytime ;))but...he seriously just made my day. That guy is the coolest.

School's ok, and so is track. Not too much has been going on with them but I've been having fun with all the new jokes we're making. For example, Bill's wicked funny comment "Throw it that wasy damnit!" He told Le to throw the discus towards the wind and then she threw it in the wrong direction and he said that, and then I went up to throw it and I went in the wrong direction too. (you think I would have learned)

Alright well studyhall is about over so I should go. I'll try and update again soon.

Peace Out,

Rita

Same old stuff

rudy325 — 2004-04-06T05:04:00-05:00

So again not too much has been going on. My weekend was amazingly boring because all I ended up doing was my mountain high pile of laundry. But hey, clean clothes is a good thing right?

School's ok, not amazing, but then again when is school ever amazing to begin with. That freshman tried hitting on me again at lunch...not so cool. He asked one of his friends right in front of me if I was "hot" or not and then let his friend get in front of him so he could try and "pick me up." It's not like he's a bad guy or anything but it's just kind of weird.

Track was kinda weird today. We had to pull tires down the hallway...can it be any more hick at Marcellus? Probably. This saturday we're supposed to have a relay invitational/meet (I don't know what exactly it is yet) at CNS. I can't compete because not enough of the girls can go but I think I'm going to pull the "Rita and the boys" deal I pulled last year so I can get an idea of how it's going to be this year. Hopefully it won't take that long OR it will be really nice outside....seeing the snow that we've gotten I'm thinking that I might have to rely on it being a short meet. :-/ Hopefully it will be worth a Saturday morning.

I have a feeling I'm getting stupider every day (yes I'm aware that stupider isn't a real word :)) I think I realize it through little things. For example today I went up to Mr. Irby to find out what I got on my chemistry test and when he told me that I got "a century" I have to admit that it took me a while to figure out what he meant. (And yes I realize the irony of how I'm talking about how I get more stupid with a story that tells how I got a 100 on a test) Oh well, I think you get the point of my story.

So I realized that my April break is starting out kind of hectic. I'm coloring Easter eggs with the fam dam and company (it's a tradition)on Friday, Saturday I might be going to that track meet and if not then I'm going out to try and find shoes for prom, and then Sunday is Easter. Sounds like fun right?

I didn't get to hang out with Pat this weekend :( but hopefully I will next weekend, somewhere in the midst of all that madness. I'm not sure if I'll get a chance but at least April break is coming up so hopefully I'll get a chance then because in the words of some of my friends, he's "wicked fricken awesome" (Jess) and he "rocks my face off" (Meggie) :-D

Well I should probably go do some homework now because I want to be able to watch Everwood tonight without having to direct my attention to English vocab words.

Peace out,

Rita

ugh

rudy325 — 2004-04-08T08:04:00-05:00

It's been a so-so week. not much has happened except that now it's the beginning of my April break. Thank goodness. For some reason it doesn't feel like break to me. It's like when Chrstmas time comes around but it doesn't really feel like christmas except that every radio station is playing some type of christmas carol. It's kinda bumming me out that it doesn't feel like break because I could really use a nice break right now. I know what you're probably thinking, how could she have a break but still feel like she needs a break? Like I'm on break from school but it doesn't actually feel like I'm on a break from anything. I still have some of the same shit going on that's outside of school so really I'm still stuck with all this crap to take care of. Does that make any sense? Oh well. Maybe I'm bummed for a different reason...
Do you ever feel like you're working towards something that you know will never happen? It feels like that with me right now, and it's not just with one thing. It's with a few things. I don't know what to do about it because it's more of how I feel about things and I know that I'm not going to change how I feel but at the same time, I know that I'm not going to be able to do some of the things that have been on my mind. :-/ Maybe I should stop talking about this because I bet it's confusing the hell out of whoever is reading this. If it's really that important to you then maybe I'll let you in on what's going on sometime....probably not though so don't get your hopes up. :)
Other than all of this crap, not a whole lot has been going on. School's ok and so is track but they're not that important to me so does it really matter how they're going? No.
No one's home right now so I'm pretty bored and I have to tape the Spprentice for my mom cuz she won't be able to see it. Doesn't my night sound amazingly fun. I wish I could go to Nick's but I would have no way of getting there and home so I'm stuck here all night... :(

peace out,

rita

ummm.....

rudy325 — 2004-04-10T01:04:00-05:00

Ok so it's officially April break. I don't exactly know if that's a good thing or not because I'm not doing anything over break but I'm being optimistic and looking at it as a good thing because I get to sleep in. :)
I went out with Pat yesterday which was cool but then I had to come home and do Easter type stuff which was not so cool. Don't get me wrong, it was fun, but I wasn't in the mood to do it and I ended up staying up kinda late so I lost half of my day today to sleeping in. 11:30 isn't that bad is it?
I'm still kinda confused about some stuff and I don't know if I should be, but I can't really help it. I don't want to go into full detail because I know that if I do then people will take it the wrong way so I'd rather just not say anything. But for some reason it feels like I let a big part of me go and it's like it never really happened. All I know is that I'm going to need to do some thinking before I do anything else.
Alright well before I go into too much detail I think I'm going to save myself and go watch some old school movies that I haven't seen in a while.

Peace out,

Rita

well then

rudy325 — 2004-04-17T09:04:00-05:00

ok so yeah my computer sucks the big one and I couldn't get it to work for a few days and then about an hour ago I realized it was because the road runner thing was on standby and wasn't actually on all the way...we're not so good with the computer stuff over here if you couldn't tell by that.

Anyways, today I went shopping for prom stuff ALL FREAKIN DAY LONG with Le and then Jen for a while, and I still didn't get everything I need. I'm gonna be so screwed. I still need to call the limo place (uh oh :-O) I need to get a bouteneir for Pat, and I still need to get some accessories that are pretty necessary, like a purse, otherwise I'll just be carrying everything in my hands like a dork. I don't know when exactly I'm going to be able to get all this stuff done but I know it's going to have to be very soon since I only have a week left.

As for more serious stuff, it's not going too great. I hate having this damn blog because even if I wanted to say exactly what's on my mind, I can't because I know somewhere along the line the person(s) I would talk about would read this and then I'd look like a bitch. What's new right. I found out some stuff this weekend that's not so great but hopefully it won't bother me as much as it did before because of my little chat with Jason. I know it's still gonna bother me though because the only way to fix things would be to act like someone I'm not, which would make other people happy but then I would go back to what I was like before...not so great. I don't know what to do because it's not going to just go away, that would be too perfect, and I have a feeling something not so great is going to happen soon. Let's just hope I'm wrong.

Alright well no one's home AGAIN so I think I'm gonna throw a huge ass party and get plastered...or go watch tv. :)

Peace out,

Rita

Mindsay. Do it anywhere.....what the frig is that supposed to mean?

rudy325 — 2004-04-20T01:04:00-05:00

YAY!! Guess what! Yesterday was the first track meet of the season and I got a new PR for shot. I was so excited that I literally jumped up and down and yelled and then when my coach gilbert went to shake my hand I handed him the shot put. How do ya like that buddy!

I'm sitting with SHan in studyhall right now and we're being stupid and talking about boys and how stupid they are. Especially ones from Jordan Elbridge with the initials JS...stupid mo fo. Yeah I'm so cool that right now we decided to go to the boys baseball game on Thursday and then not even five minutes later I say "we should go to a game!" I'm such a tard. Oh well, whatever we say in the library, stays in the library. haha PINKY SWEAR!!

Ok well every time it seems like my life might get more interesting, it doesn't. It's been kinda rough lately cuz I've had some stuff going on that I've really wanted to let people know about but it always seems like everytime I'm about to tell them, I screw something up or I don't have the courage to say exactly what's on my mind.

I'll finish updating later!

Peace out,
Rita

kick ass weekend

rudy325 — 2004-04-26T01:04:00-05:00

Alright well prom weekend has come and gone but it was amazing so it's not as sad as it seems. Prom was amazing and it was so much fun hanging out with everyone.

I started my day out by getting up at 9:30 and then basically spreading everything that I needed to do throughout the day. I picked up Pat's flower and then got everything ready and started actually getting ready around 2. Everyone met at my house around 5:30 and we took pictures there. Then we went to Inn of the Seasons, took some more pictures, and then ate dinner. It was tons of fun. After that we went to the prom and we all got our groove on. The music was kinda sucky but it wasn't too bad. After that we went to the after the prom party and chilled. There wasn't a whole lot going on but it was still fun. It was at the Skaneateles rec center so we went ice skating and watched some tv. After that we went to Shannon's house. I waited with Pat for his ride and then I went and watched 13 Ghosts with everyone. I kept falling asleep throughout though so if you asked me about it I probably couldn't tell ya too much. The movie ended around 4:30 and then we went to breakfast at Denny's. It was so much fun. I was gonna eat but I decided to wait cuz I had a feeling that I might have gotten sick or something and then as I was sitting next to Josh I saw his face (he got a little sick from his food) so I didn’t end up eating. I got home a little after 6 and went straight to bed. THEN I woke up around 2 by mom who was on the phone with Jen asking her where I was....did ya ever think to check in my room you weirdo! Oh well, I got up a little after that and ate some good mexican food (yum yum) and then went to bed again around 5:30. I woke up around 7:30/8 (didn't exactly pay attention to what time it was) stayed up until around 11:30 and then went back to bed....for the third time.
Well, that was my amazing weekend, and it may sound less interesting on here but wait til I get the pictures, they should be pretty funny.

Other than prom not a whole lot has been going on. Track's going okay. I found out that I'm on the leader board for 6th in section 3 for shot, which is pretty cool. There are only a couple of girls I need to worry about for sectionals cuz a couple of the girls aren't in class B. hopefully I'll keep up with it cuz sectional winner would be pretty sweet. School's pretty sucky cuz I'm too busy thinking about the end of the year so I better watch cuz after this last report card if I don't watch out my summer could be pretty boring.

well that's about it. When more stuff happens I'll let y'all know about it.

Peace out,

Rita

what the fudger

rudy325 — 2004-04-28T08:04:00-05:00

Alright well there's goes a so far so good week. Yesterday completely sucked cuz I'm way too nice a person or something like that. I hate how I'm always the one to give up something that I want because I'm afraid of hurting someone's feelings. What really sucks about this one is that I don't want to lose a friend and a possible more than just friends but I have a feeling I'm going to lose one of them. :( I don't exactly know how I'm going to get through this one but all I know is that I'm gonna get hurt or hurt someone else no matter what happens....GRRRR!!

Well after I figured out all the crap I just talked about I talked with some people (not necessarily about this specific thing) and it helped get my mind off of it or it helped me to vent. Thanks Shan! Peter and I started a gang yesterday which was pretty cool. We're the PSU gang that hangs out at the old AOK and rides around in the back of pickup trucks with shot guns yelling "YEEEHAAWW" Our colors are blue and white (PSU colors....makes it easy since we both have enough Penn State clothes between us to dress our entire school) and our slogan is the 3 S's (Slap Skan Sluts) We're gonna figure out our hand signal sometime today so that should be fun. Yeah what can I say, I have no life. P.S. Peter, the computer won yesterday. haha :)

I'm technically supposed to be doing English crap right now but why in hell would I go do a thing like that? :) Hopefully today's gonna be an easy day because I don't feel like doing a whole lot. After this class I'll have math which is really easy for me, then studyhall, then chemistry which is also wicked easy for me, then another studyhall. After that studyhall all of my classes are being cut short though so we can have an assmbley for the talent show. So U.S. History, lunch, my third studyhall of the day, and Spanish should be pretty short. I have practice today which is gonna suck cuz all I want to do right now is sleep. Hopefully practice won't be too hard so I can go home a little earlier than usual and hang out and do nothing. Yesterday I had to tutor before practice which is kinda tiring with the girl I have cuz we chat more than we work on her homework....I'm such a great tutor. :) Then after practice I had to go home and work on my civil right's project that I told Loren about.... blah blah blah blah African Americans blah blah blah poorly treated blah blah blah white people suck.

Sami's sitting here with me chillin and searching for her Bug's Bunny floppy disc. I'm telling her about mine and Peter's gang and she's telling me about how her ass hurts from sliding at her game yesterday. Yeah that's why she rocks my face off.

Alright well I need to go now cuz the bell's gonna ring. I'll try and update again soon.

Peace out,

Rita

boring day

rudy325 — 2004-04-30T11:04:00-05:00

Alright well I'm just sittin in studyhall right now, doing almost nothing. Today's been really boring cuz I haven't really had a complete class yet. My teachers either haven't been here or they won't take the whole period so they let us just chill for a while. Went to English and did nothing cuz my teacher wasn't there, took my math test this morning and I'm pretty sure I got a hundred on it so that's kinda cool, :) then I went to chemistry and didn't do a whole lot. Mr. Irby (my chem teacher) is pretty cool so we only did a couple of things and then he gave us the rest of the period. It was so funny because since we weren't really doing a lot he would say weird stuff in akward silences. For example, he said "sports don't create character, they bring it out." Well we all ust kinda stared at him and were like "was there any point in saying that?" then he said "no. I just needed something to fill in the space." He's a funny guy.

I guess none of the girls have track today but I'm still gonna have to go cuz I wasn't there yesterday and I need to make sure I get some throws, sprints, and jumps in before tomorrow's invitational. This should be a good invitational cuz the girls I'm competing against are a lot better so it will give me an idea of what I need to do. As of right now I should be okay for leagues, so hopefully I'll win in shot and disc again like last year, and I think I should be okay for sectionals. I really want to win sectionals for shot cuz that would be amazing and it would almost guarantee a few looks from colleges. My new throwing coach wants to me to try hammer throw....I'm not too sure about that one. I got all excited cuz there was only one girl at Empire State games last year so she automatically won but then I realized that there might need to be a cut off or a qualification so I don't know how that's gonna work out. I'm not exactly sure if I want to do it or not. :-/

I should probably go cuz the bell's gonna ring soon but I'll try and update again soon.

Peace out,

Rita

P.S. If anyone wants to come to Rome tomorrow to keep me company at my invitational then I'll love you forever!!

blah blah blah

rudy325 — 2004-05-04T06:05:00-05:00

Alright well I tried updating this baby a couple of nights ago but it erased on me and I was too lazy to redo it so I guess I'll just have to start all over again today.

Nothing's really been going on. Track this past Saturday sucked. I sucked really bad and I don't mean my usual "oh man I suck but I still won" This was really bad. The girls there were enormous and they all threw or jumped about 20 feet farther than me...not so much fun. Oh well. You can't win em all.
I finally finished my book a few days ago. It was pretty good. I would have finished it the day that I stayed home last week but the guy that mows our lawn came and it was just too noisy to concentrate. Portfolio's were due yesterday so I spent all of Sunday night and Monday morning working on that. Went to bed around 4 AMish and woke up around 6:30...not much effort went into that day I can tell you that.
Went to the college fair in the city today and then afterwards hung out for a little bit with my mamcita and then went shopping in Armory Square by myself. (She handed me a 50 and said "hey you wanna go shopping"...I think she wanted me outta there.) I got some shoes, a CD, and some shirts and then headed back to my mom's work so we could go home. Got home, did nothing really, and now we're all hanging out waiting for my uncle mike to get here, I don't know why.
Saturday's the invitational at Rochester but I don't know if I'm gonna go yet. If I do go then I'll be there all day and won't get home until late. If I don't then I'll probably end up not doing a whole lot during the day but then going over to Alec's for a "party" that night. I don't know yet, I'll have to talk to Le cuz if she goes then I guess I'll go (maybe not) and if she doesn't then there's no way in hell I am.
Alright well that's about all I can think of to put down now. If anyone thinks of something that they know that I forgot then tell me.

Peace out,

Rita

bored

rudy325 — 2004-05-05T01:05:00-05:00

I'm really bored right now but I wanted to tell everyone about graffiti.playdo.com cuz it's cool and that's all I've been doing my whole studyhall. :)
I'm out for now though cuz I've got to go to spanish....:-/

Peace out homies,

Rita

school time

rudy325 — 2004-05-07T01:05:00-05:00

Alright well I'm in school and updating this again cuz I'm really bored and I don't have homework that needs to be done right now.

This weekend's probably gonna be kinda boring so that's not too much to look forward to. I don't think I'm doing anything tonight cuz I'm too cool.... Then tomorrow I'm supposed to go to Rochester but I don't think i'm going to because there's absolutely no point. I would be going to try and qualify for Open Stat qualifier but I don't really want to qualify cuz then that means an extra couple of weeks of practice after the extra weeks I already have for sectionals. I think if I don't go then I'll go to a movie or something with Pat and then later go to Alec's with Le :) (if she doesn't go to Rochester either) Then Sunday is mother's day so I'll probably be home for a while and maybe go over to the g-rents house :( Hopefully I won't have to cuz it's soo boring but if I do then I'll just try and get out of there ASAP.

Yesterday was pretty cool cuz at my track meet a ton of people got new PR's for their events. I got a new PR in discus which was pretty cool and I won both shot and disc which is kinda nice cuz. Today I don't have practice so I think I'm gonna go home and lay out on my trampoline cuz it's so nice outside. :)

Alright well I think that's the extent of my boredom for now so I guess I'll go onto the graffiti sight to goof around with heather on jess.

Peace out homies,

Rita

sucky sucky day

rudy325 — 2004-05-09T07:05:00-05:00

Today completely sucked. I don't even know if I should go into it right now cuz I'll probably break down or something but today completely sucked. :( Yesterday sucked too cuz I sprained my ankle at my track invitational at Rochester after WARM UPS!! So I was stuck doing nothing all day long in the cold rain. :(
I'm praying this week gets better.

peace out,

Rita

SOO happy

rudy325 — 2004-05-11T01:05:00-05:00

Alright well after this past sucky weekend I thought that this week was going to suck completely but it's already gotten a ton better. In case you were wondering why I was in such a bad mood this weekend, it's because Saturday I sprained my ankle and was stuck in the cold rain with some guy from Franklin following me around trying to get my phone number, and then Sunday my dog died. :( :( :( It sucked wicked bad and it still does, especially since there were things said yesterday by a certain someone that REALLY pissed me off... let's just say that I don't know how much I'm gonna be talking to her anymore.

Anyways, yesterday I went to school and it was alright. I went home at the normal time so I could go to the doctor's for my ankle. There really wasn't a point in going because I've had enough sprained ankles to know that it was a sprain but I still had to go to get a note. My doctor took me out of practice for a week so I should be back next monday, right before leagues on tuesday. After the doctors I went over to the track practice that I was missing and told my coaches that I was out for a week. Then we went out for ice cream (mom, Hank, bryan, and brendan) and then went to drop everyone off at home.

After that I went home and called Pat cuz it was his birthday and I really wanted to talk to him. Talked to him for a while which was sweet cuz he finally asked me out :) Then I ate dinner,took a bath and called Pat again. Talked to him for a while again which was cool. I'm soo happy that he finally asked me out. We're supposed to hang out tonight which is gonna be fun. I don't know what we're doing yet, maybe getting something to eat or a movie or something. It doesn't matter though cuz I can't wait to see him. :)

Today I have to tutor Shannon after school which is always fun since we never really do anything. I'm thinking that maybe this time we'll work on a project I told her we would do a long time ago but I don't know because I didn't get a chance to meet with her last week. But no matter what we end up working on I'm sure I'll hear all about the new boy that she likes. :)

Alright well I think that's all for now. I need to go to Spanish soon :( which is gonna suck cuz it always does....Stupid madonia. I'll try and update again soon but you never know with me.

Peace out,

Rita :)

okay....

rudy325 — 2004-05-20T01:05:00-05:00

Okay well not a whole lot's been going on, as usual. School's been pretty boring cuz not a whole lot has been going on. I'm finishing up with my classes and we're starting to review for my regents and finals. It's all pretty boring.

This week has been kinda blah cuz it's been a mix of fun and not so fun stuff. This past weekend I had to go to my grandparents 50th anniversary party which was pretty boring but really funny cuz I got to see all my relatives getting smashed and acting like idiots. Sunday I didn't really do anything, I'm pretty sure I spent the duration of the day cleaning my mess of a room. (which is now clean by the way :)) Then Monday was leagues.....thought they were on tuesday so it was kind of a surprise when I found out that they were on monday....but I didn't go. The bus was leaving the school at 1:15 or something like that but my doctor's appointment wasn't until 2:30 so I stayed at the school and then went to the doctor's after. Not my best visit. I talked with my doctor about what's going on with my ankle and basically she said that I should stay off of it for a while....like til September. She said that if I sprained it again and it was bad enough it could blow out my ankle for good. I joked with her about getting me a new ankle and she told me "it's not funny because corective surgeryis the only other option." Which is not so good. So I didn't go to leagues and today I can't go to sctionals, and this summer I was/am supposed to go a team camp and an individual camp for volleyball and then tennis starts in August. I don't think I'm going to be able to do any of these if I want my ankle to be alright for next winter. :(

Yesterday I went with my mom to watch my sister in her work's kickball thing which was really funny because each team is named after a beer, which most of the team happens to be drinking at the time. It was so funny cuz they were all pretty bad and the team they were playing was way too into it. They even had a third base coach....weirdos. It was fun though.

Today's been pretty boring cuz nothing's really been going on in any of my classes and I've already done all of my homework so I haven't had anything to do. Hopefully I'll get to talk to Pat tonight cuz I haven't really gotten a chance to lately and he's going to NYC this weekend so I don't know if I'll get a chance because he'll be busy doing stuff there and I'll be busy with stuff here....hopefully I'll just get a chance to talk to him before he leaves.

This weekend should be a pretty busy one. Tomorrow night I'm going over to Nick's house with everyone to hang out and stay over. then Saturday I think I'm just going to stay at Nick's for the day because I need to be in the village later in the day to help Le get ready for ball and then be at the school at around 3 to help with stuff for the ball. (Nick's doing this stuff with me so that's why I'd stay at her house) Then Saturday night is Heather's party which should be fun. I don't think I'm doing anything on Sunday so maybe that will be my day to read the entire Huck Finn book since I'm supposed to have it read by Monday and I'm not even half way through it (Sparknotes has definitely been helping me out with this one)

Alright well I'm gonna go because I don't think I have anything else to say so... why keep going?

Peace out,

Rita

P.S. The computer should be coming this weekend!!!

detour

rudy325 — 2004-05-21T01:05:00-05:00

Alright so yesterday I was in studyhall and I told Jess that I was going to the bathroom and that I'd see her in Spanish but as I was heading towards the lav I saw the track team getting ready to leave for sectionals so I went to say bye and good luck. I went over and started talking with everyone and I somehow managed to get talked into going to South Jefferson with them....not that it took too much to talk me into it. So yeah I ended up going to South Jeff for the afternoon and did nothing. I just hung out with everyone and watched and cheered everyone on. It was pretty fun though cuz we told stupid stories and did stupid stuff. (when don't we)

Alright well I just thought I'd fill everyone in on my fun yesterday afternoon but now I'm bored so I'm just gonna go do nothing with Dan and Heather.

Peace out,

Rita

good times

rudy325 — 2004-05-24T12:05:00-05:00

Alright so this weekend was pretty sweet. Friday night I went over to Nick's house and hung out with everyone. We just hung out and goofed off. :) We watched Win a Date with Tad Hamilton and just stayed up late doing not too much.

Saturday morning I got up and went over to Le's house so I could help her get ready for ball. Buza picked us up around 12:30ish and dropped us off at Benoits. I helped Le pick out what she wanted her hair to look like and then I watched her get her hair done. On the way home we stopped at Friendly's for free ice-cream day and then when we got to her house we had some time to basically do nothing, so we did. Then after a little bit I did her make-up, which took longer than it took for her to get her hair done. Once I finished with that I left for Nick's house and we got a ride with Savanna to the school to help out with the stuff for ball. It took forever and was really boring but it was kinda cool cuz we got to see everyone in their dresses and stuff. We had to serve drinks and put food out but other than that we didn't have to do anything. (Oh yeah Rob, good luck on your chem crap :))

After that I got home around 7 and ate a little something before I went to Heather's. I got to Heather's around 8:20ish and I hung out with Dan for the most part...cuz he's sooo hot and he's a male stripper! haha (Heather... :)) We watched some lame Tom and Jerry crap and then later watched Drumline. It was pretty fun cuz it started storming pretty bad so Dan couldn't drive home yet and he was my ride home so it was pretty cool that we got to stay later. I got home around 1:30sh and then hit the sac cuz I thought I was pretty tired but when I went to bed I couldn't really fall asleep cuz it was thundering and lightning out and I just wasn't really that tired.

Sunday morning I woke up and I was pretty tired but I had to help my mom with the gardening crap in the front yard and then we had to go get the new computer and pick my sister up. So yesterday night I spent most of the time just getting the computer together and layin around.

Well it was a pretty good weekend if I do say so myself. This week is probably gonna be pretty boring cuz none of the seniors have been coming to school and all of my classes are either review or study halls. At least it's more time for me to study for finals. I'll try and update again if something happens. :)

Peace out,

Rita

wow

rudy325 — 2004-06-14T06:06:00-05:00

Ok so I haven't updated this baby in a while so I figured now's as good a time as any.

School's finally comin to its end which I am SOOOO thankful for. :) The only thing is that I have all my finals to worry about plus the extra stuff for the senior class. Today I went into school a little after 11 to do a little tie dying cuz the other shirts I did during class were heinous. Well after that I had to book it down to the meeting to pick out our graduation announcement and figure out when and where our ball is going to be (not quite sure on that one though) and we had to give everyone who signed up to be a senior buddy their freshmen buddies so that took a while. Then I got home watched a little tv and ate some sunflower seeds. Pat called while I was watching buffy so I waited to call him back after it was over. Talked to him a little bit and told him that I thought we should just be friends which I kinda feel bad about but I think he took it alright. I'm glad he's ok with it cuz that way if something with someone else comes up he should be fine since breaking up wasn't that big of a deal to him and same for me with him.

Tomorrow I have my spanish final and then I'm completely done with Spanish for my high school career!! :) :) I might have to go to the lodge tomorrow to check it out for ball but I won't know until I hear from Sami tonight. Wednesday I have my U.S. regents ( :) )which I'm kinda worried about but it should be ok. After that final Kate and I have to figure out how to do the soda machines and filling out the order forms from sara which hopefully won't take that long. Thursday and Friday I have my English regents which is gonna be hell. How much fun could it be sitting there writing a million essays....not much. Saturday is Loren's party. We're going to Sylvan beach which should be fun and then I think when I leave sunday I'm going over to Le's house for a little party. Monday and Tuesday of the following week I don't have any tests but then Wednesday the 23rd I have my chem regents. I'm not worried about it at all, the only thing is that I really really want to get a hundred on it and I'm pretty sure I can. Hopefully I'll get my one hundred that way I'll finish off the year with a bang. :)

After all that though I don't think I'll have anything going on except for possibly having to do the soda machines at school with Kate and my trip to cali (which I can't wait for) :)

Alright well I'm bored of doing this already so I think I'm gonna go. I'll try and update again soon....even though we all know what soon means to me (not a whole lot)

Peace out,

Rita :)

busy busy busy

rudy325 — 2004-06-20T09:06:00-05:00

I can't even begin to explain how busy I've been lately. So last week I had my Spanish final on Tuesday, my U.S. regents on Wednesday, and my English regents on Thursday and Friday. In addition to all of that I had to go look at places for ball on Tuesday, stay on Wednesday with Katie to figure out what exactly we're gonna have to do as treasurers (omg it's gonna be crazy) Thursday I had to go get my schedule fixed after my test because all of the classes I'm taking next year have to be at a certain time. (first period studyhall, English 2nd, Calculus 3rd, Latin 4th, elective 5/6 I think lunch 7, Government and Economics 8/9, and Physics 10 and 11.....only one studyhall :( ) Anyways, then Friday after my test I had to go with some of the other officers to look at another possible place for ball. THEN on top of all that, I had to study for my tests!! It's crazy.

I probably coulda had more time to study for stuff if I wasn't like a perminent import into Heather's neighborhood but it's just too much fun hangin out there. :) Thursday (at least I think it was thursday) I went with Heather down to apply for a couple of jobs and then after we went back to her house to watch movies with dan and rob. Rob had to go early but it was still interesting hanging with dan :) Heather if you read this..... $50 haha. It's not a tent it's a fricken log cabin baby!! You're my home girl!! :) Oh Dan you know we want you soooo bad. :) Bet ya we can fit 3 people on the couch!! haha

Well, Friday night I went back to heather's to hang out with Heather, Patricia, and Rob for a while and had a little more fun then I should have but it was worth it. :) then Saturday morning I had to get up early to go to Loey's for her b-day party. It was fun cuz her friends were nice and we just goofed around anyways but it was kinda windy out so we couldn't stay at the beach. I left her house a little after 8 and went to Heather's and played some putt putt with Heather, Jess, and Dan. Fun stuff, except when there was a little bit of drama but no worries, nothin big. At least now Heather and I know when to stop jokin about big things and now I know that Dan doesn't trust himself around me and/or heather.....hmmmm, I wonder why? haha :)

So today was father's day and it was pretty fun. Did some fun stuff with the fam. Good times. But I should go cuz tomorrow morning I have to get up early so I can meet Katie at the school for our date, a.k.a, to figure out soda machine stuff and to get lunch. I'll try and update soon after my chem final on wednesday but I might just wait until friday cuz I think i'm gonna chill at heather's thursday night so there might be some funny stuff to update about after that. :)

Peace out,

Rita

ouchy

rudy325 — 2004-06-29T10:06:00-05:00

Well let me just say TGI summer!! :) It's been a pretty good start. I found out that I got a 90 on my Spanish final (it's not a definite though cuz madonia didn't have his book in front of him so he couldn't check) a 93 on my English Regents and a 95 on my U.S. regents. :) I was sooo excited on my U.S. grade cuz I thought I was gonna get an 80 something. All I need to do now is wait to see what I got on my chem regents. Not too excited about that though cuz there's a negative curve so even if I did really well it doesn't matter. :( Hopefully I'll do alright.

Ok well this past week was pretty interesting....I guess. Last Monday I had to do the soda order with Katie at the school and we ended up having a million things to do so when I got home from that I thought to myself "hmmm...maybe I should just relax and lay out on the trampoline for a while." BAD IDEA!! I ended up laying out for longer than I thought I had and by the time I was done I had such a bad sunburn which part of it was actually sun poisoning. And can I just tell you all how much it kills. Oh well, it's kinda gone now. So then tuesday I pretty much did nothing except lay around because I couldn't move from the sun poisoning on my stomach. Wednesday I had my chem regents which wasn't really that bad, the only thing was that I was done by 9:20 and we had to stay until at least 10:00. :( After that I went over to Jen's for a while with Le and Kristen and just hung out. I think it was thursday that I went down to my grandparents house for a while before I had my interview down at Denny's (I can't really remember if it was thursday or not) But I know that it was definitely friday that my sunburn really kicked in and I couldn't move AT ALL. It hurt so bad that all I could do was just sit still, so I painted! :)

Saturday morning I got picked up around 7 and went with Nick and her mom and sister to get our Kenny Chesney tickets. :) :) Our seats are kinda sucky but we'll still have a ton of fun. Then Saturday afternoon Marissa and Matt came over because Marissa finally got into Med school :) So we did our mexican thing and made mexican chicken and rice. It was sooo good! :) Well, after Marissa and Matt left I hung out for a while and then went down to Amanda's for a bonfire which was fun but I probably shouldn't have gone cuz I had to get up way early again for the volunteer work I agreed to do at the pancake breakfast at the Borodino fire department. So Sunday morning I got up around 6:30 so I could be at Nick's by 7:10 to catch a ride with Katie to Jen's and then to the fire department. So I left the pancake breakfast with Jen around 11 and then we went to her house to get ready cuz I also volunteered to help out at the graduation. Let me just tell you that my face was molded into a smile after having to greet all of those people. Then once I was done with that I had to go down to the cafeteria and check on the soda order and then go to the office and fill out a pay order for the 20 cases we ordered. I felt like I never got a chance to take a break but as soon as I got home I helped out with a couple of things and then passed out on the couch until about 11ish. I woke up and my brother was channel surfing and somehow we got to watching The Surreal life on VH1 and I couldn't stop laughing cuz they're all so stupid. I think my favorite part was when Trishell said "Sally Jesse Raphael hurt my feelings" What a tard. :)

Yesterday I stayed home and did a big fat nothing until around 4:30ish and then went down to Nick's house with Shan so we could figure out some stuff for our senior project. Well, we ended up working on it for about a half an hour and the rest of the time I was there we talked, ate, and jumped on the trampoline and took pictures of each other with Shan's camera phone. Good times! :)

So yeah by the way to all of you people who left me and heather....thanks a lot. All of these people either left or are leaving tomorrow. Heather and I decided that we're just gonna have to work at Denny's together and find a new act for "The basement" even though I doubt anyone's gonna be able to fill Dan's spot. haha :) Dan left for downstate and called the other day to tell me that he decided to stay down there for 2 months! Crazy kid. Missing him already. :( Rob left for squash camp and Amanda left for Dance camp and tomorrow Adam, Jess, and Lisa are leaving for England, and Heather told me that Alec is gonna be in Rochester for a month or something crazy like that. Soooo it looks like me and Heather are gonna be quite lonely this summer. :(

Ok well I think I'm off to go call Denny's and take Rob's position of doing nothing. :) J/K buddy!

Peace out,

Rita

uhhhh

rudy325 — 2004-07-14T11:07:00-05:00

OK so yea this isn't my favorite thing to do right now cuz I haven't updated in a while and it feels like there's too much to put in here. So yea one thing before i forget, what's with people when they put up an away message but part of it is in a weird font that you can't read? Don't they realize that all people do is cut, paste, and then change the font so that they can be nosey and figure out what it says? This is one puzzle I'll never solve.

Anyways, so yea the past couple of weeks kinda feel like a blur cuz I don't really feel like I've done too much but I know that I have. Ya know what I mean? Last week I had sailing lesson number 2 and I actually got to sail that time which was pretty cool :) I've been working on getting an old dresser of mine fixed up cuz I need the space and I haven't used this one since I first moved into this house so hopefully it'll be a good change. Somewhere in this past weekend I went with my mom to go look for all the new appliances she's planning on getting this august which was kinda cool but one of the sales ladies kinda acted like she disagreed with everything I said and acted like I didn't know what I was talking about just because I didn't own a house of my own so I decided to just kinda walk around and disagree with her on everything to see how she liked it. Sunday I went over to Loey's and went crazy....it was histerical. "He drives me crazy.....I just wanna hit em.....in the nuts" Yea so I talked about that kid with Loren cuz he's driving us crazy and I talked to her boyfriend Larry a little bit but not on Sunday night cuz that's when I went crazy after seeing "You Got Served" with her. I can't even begin to tell yall how much we laughed that night. Then monday we just hung out and cleaned up a little bit and then everyone at her house had to leave at 4:30 and my ride hadn't come yet so I ended up hanging out at her house until around quarter or 6. good thing Lord of the Rings was on or else I don't know what I would've done.

Yesterday I had my road test and I passed which was amazing cuz now I can drive wherever whenever. Right after i got it I had to head down to the school to do the soda machines with Kate which was kinda fun cuz we always goof off but it kinda sucked cuz we had to count all this money. After that I went to the city with my mom and got stuck there for a while and then I ended up goin over to Heather's for a little bit. While I was there I decided to dye a little strip of my hair that's underneath all the rest of my hair this pinkish reddish color and it came out pretty sweet but my mom kinda got mad about it and then somehow I brought up stupid shit that I shouldn't have brought up and we got into this humongous arguement and now we're not exactly on speaking terms. :( But hey, as long as I can use the car then i don't really care. Today I ended up going over to Dan's to do a movie thing with some people and we watched crossroads (I came about half way through it) and then after Ryan got there we watched House on Haunted Hill which was kinda scary and it sucked driving home cuz I kept picturing all this scary crap.....not so great. Oh well at least I had Guster to keep me company. :) Speaking of Guster, Rob comes home on Friday which is sweet cuz he's been gone for 3 weeks. That's right THREE weeks. That's a long time to not have someone to rip on....by the way I thought of all of this because Rob's the one who got me hooked on Guster. Oh yea and speaking of people who have been gone a long time, Dan's been gone like forever and if he sees this then HE NEEDS TO COME HOME FOR SOME FUN. Even though I'm sure he's having fun downstate....that little whore....Just playin Dan!

Ok well that's all I can think of for now plus I'm tired and I wanna get some sleep so I'll have the energy to do a second coat on my dresser tomorrow.

Peace out,

Rita

Happy Beach Day!

rudy325 — 2004-08-04T02:08:00-05:00

Ok so Monday was beach day and it was sooo much fun. I went with the girls to the beach and then nick and i went to shan's after for some more fun times. It was histerical. We're such a bunch of dorks :) At shan's we goofed around in the pool, went for a ride inthe escalade to get some pizza and a movie, and then back to shan's to dance around and hang out by a bonfire. it may not sound like a whole lot but you probably don't know us very well and what we're like when we act like morons. Dan called when I was there and I talked to him for a while. Hopefully he'll be coming home soon cuz Heather and I miss him tons.

Work blows and i don't know how much longer i'm gonna work there cuz my boss is like the ultimate ass. Next week I'm supposed to do that camp down at henniger but i found out that I'm not gonna get paid for any of it ( i was supposed to be getting paid) so now I don't know if I'm gonna do it cuz it's from 9:30 to 3:30 every day that week.....I'm probably not gonna do it.

Today I went with kate to do the soda machines at the school which wasn't too bad cuz it only took like an hour. Hopefully it'll pay off in the end and we'll have a ton of money from the machines. For my fellow senior buddies i found out that Freshmen orientation is on August 23 (or 24th....don't remember exactly)

Ok well I'm already bored with this so I'm gonna go so I can take a shower and clean up my room some more....story of my life.

peace out,

Rita

long time no see

rudy325 — 2004-11-10T01:11:28-05:00

So holy moly it's been like forever and a day since I've updated this thing. A ton of amazing stuff has happened and I know you all wish you were there to see every minute of it. I'm way pumped cuz tomorrow night is Kate's party and then Friday night is Jen's party. I can't wait until Jen's cuz it's gonna be wicked fricken awesome cuz after practice I'm going to her house/Dan's (it depends on where everyone is going to be) At Dan's we're playing poker with the guys and then after we're going back to Jen's to do some fun dance revolution stuff and some hot tub and then probably movies. Saturday morning's practice is gonna be a killer. Speaking of which, yesterday's practice totally sucked ass. Hy must've been in a bad mood cuz after the first hour of a combined JV/Varsity "tryouts" we had our actual practice which wasn't so much practicing but rather having Hy beat the shit out of us by making us throw ourselves at the ground just to try to keep a fricken ball from hitting the floor. It wouldn't have been so bad but the first one I went for I ended up taking skin off the side of my hand and got a bruise on my hip bone. All of this led to a nice round of sprints and bruising and skinnning my knees through my kneepads... all loads of fun. Today should be pretty interesting cuz I have a chiropractor appointment at 5:15 and then I've gotta go home and get ready for practice from 7-9. So much for the first day of a long weekend. Alright well I'm done for now, I'll try to update after this weekend so I can tell everyone about how much fun I had. "check ya later" Rita

so yea

rudy325 — 2004-11-21T10:11:03-05:00

So yeah this whole blog thing has gotten pretty boring especially since I'm spilling my guts out to a notebook in my room but it's not like anyone actually reads this thing. Right now I'm trying to write this stupid analytical interpretation of Hamlet and about the feminist treatment towards Ophelia and Gertrude but I just can't seem to get into it. Would you be able to? I don't think so. So yea, Heather and Dan are officially not friends now which totally sucks cuz there were some fun times there but what are you gonna do. It just sucks cuz now I have to hang out with one or the other. I guess heather's got this new friend from work so maybe I'll get to meet him and have some fun times but I don't know. Dan said he's given up on girls but that's not very believable because....well....it's Dan. haha He probably won't hook up with anyone for a while but I know that there'll be someone eventually. These are the kind of things that when you put the two together it makes it really fun....well, really fun to watch cuz they're like the same but at the same time different. I know, it doesn't make sense but that's not really anything new.

Volleyball started a couple of weeks ago and our first game is this tuesday against Homer. Dan said he would go and that's cool but he'll probably be like the only person there that's not a parent....minus the wrestling team cuz they'll already be there from their practice and they usually just stick around. Hopefully we'll do as well as it seems like we're doing. Okay well I'm off for some beauty rest. Night!

Peace out,

Rita

tired

rudy325 — 2004-12-21T10:12:35-05:00

Can anyone guess what I'm feeling? Oh yeah, that would be tired. Volleyball practice was only an hour today but it seemed longer. Tomorrow I have a game at Jordan-Elbridge and my bus doesn't leave until 5:30 so I think I'm going to try to come home on time and take a nap so the next time I update this thing I won't have down "I'm feeling tired"

I can't wait until vacation cuz school just seems to be dragging right now. It feels like I'm going there for no reason excpet to sit through some studyhalls. I have a studyhall first, second is english, third is calculus (that definitely doesn't feel like a studyhall) 4th is Latin which is so easy I could probably pass the course by sleeping through every class, 5/6 is my cooking class but I haven't done anything except hang out with ryan and heather for the past 2 weeks because we were kicked out of our cooking room due to asbestos. 7 is lunch, 8/9 is government, 10th is either a studyhall or gym and then 11th everyday is a studyhall.... not a whole lot going on in there. I think I'm gonna skip school thursday cuz I guess it's kind of like a senior skip day, even though we already had one in october. I need that day to finish up some christmas stuff before my sister comes over that night. (her present isn't quite ready yet and I don't have any time to finish it.)

New Years is coming up and I can't wait to do something. I don't know what we're all going to plan on doing but hopefully it'll be good. Nicole's still grounded from after semi so she can't do anything but other than that everyone should be able to get together. I really want the country club to be open on that night but I don't think it's going ot be. That would be perfect cuz last time I went it was so much fun and I just want to dance all night again.

alright well this is a gay place to end this entry but I need to get some shut eye cuz I just finished making a taco dip for my latin class and as much as it doesn't sound like too much, it tuckered me out.

peace out,

Rita

school vacations...what a crock

rudy325 — 2004-12-26T06:12:08-05:00

Holy hell. Do vacations from school actually ever get to feel like a vacation? I don't thinks so. For starters there's the hassle of family parties that no one actually wants to go to and then there's the whole cleaning up part of it all....basically the only good part is getting cool stuff that you would never buy for yourself so you have to wait until christmas to get it. I know that getting presents isn't really the whole meaning of Christmas but if there's anyone out there who gets what I mean by this then let me know. For example, I got this really cool book from my sister about interior design....not really practical but something that I really like. (plus it pisses my mom off cuz she doesn't think that pursuing something like design or culinary arts will get me anywhere...."it's fun but maybe for when you're done with college"....) Isn't that so bogus!? What if that's what I want to go to college for? Does that mean that I'm screwed out of a "real career?" Whatever.

To start another topic, does anyone else notice that when they make mixes to listen to on their computers the songs never really seem to go together? Cuz they never do on mine. Right now, listening to Pat Benetar's "Love is a battlefield" and the next song on my playlist is Tim McGraw's "Something like that." It's not that I like one more than the other or anything it's just that when I make a CD out of all the songs on my playlist how the hell am I supposed to organize them into a logical order? Maybe I'll just have to wait until I get more songs that go with the ones I already have.... OR I could just say screw it and make a CD out of completely random songs, I think that's what I'll end up doing :)

Tomorrow I have a tournament in FM and Wednesday I have one in B'ville, both will be all day and I am in no way looking forward to either of them ....although I don't know who would be looking forward to a day of throwing themselves on the floor for a damn volleyball.... probably crazy people. But this goes right back to that whole "not really a vacation vacation" oh well

I should probably go so I can get all my stuff together for tomorrow plus my knee pads smell really bad so i should probably throw those into the laundry. :)

Peace out,

rita

P.S. Leave me a funny story!

long day

Just got back from one long ass tournament but I guess it was worth it since we won. :) I did pretty well too. But the only thing about doing bad is that i know I have a ton of new bruises that I'm sure I didn't wake up with this morning.... like this huge one on my hip from diving and throwing myself at the floor. Other than the actual playing volleyball part of the tournament it was pretty fun, the whole Bobo family was there which was pretty cool cuz I don't get to see them that often and Bryan is home from Lasell so he was there too. It was kinda funny him being there cuz all he did was make jokes about going to college there. I think he wants me to go there more than anyone. It would be pretty cool if I did go there though cuz it's a small school (like I want), I would know Bryan (which is a plus) and I could possibly play some v-ball there (not necessarily always a perk but it could be fun). The only thing tht sucks is that i really want to have my major be chemistry and Lasell doesn't offer a chemistry program... :( If they did, it would basically be my dream college. I love it there. The school's campus housing is all old victorian houses that are turned into dorm rooms, so really it's kinda like your own fraternity or sorority in your house. The camplus is pretty small so I could walk everywhere and it's about 2 minutes from the "T" (it's like Massachusetts's subway system) which brings me right into Boston. Plus it's only about 5 hours from home so it's far enough that I won't be seeing me family everyweekend, but close enough so I can go home when I need to. If only they had chemistry...

Alright well I think I'm gonna go take a hot shower now so I can relax my muscles. Leave me a funny story!!

Peace out,

Rita

ooo la la

rudy325 — 2004-12-31T12:12:19-05:00

Super Orgy Porno Party...... those four words have been stuck in my head for the last two days. That's right TWO days. Julie was singing it while we watched the finals at the B'ville tourney and ever since I haven't been able to get it out of my head. The tournament sucked by the way. We ended up getting in the gold bracket at the end but we lost to Owedo and then when we had our little team meeting afterwards my coach was like "the only thing I can think of to make you do right now is to sit and watch every game of the finals and championship that you SHOULD have been in"..... I don't think it gets much more dramatic than that. :( Cool thing about the tournament was that the Oneonta coach asked about me and gave a ton of information to my mom about playing v-ball there (she's not allowed to talk to players at this point in the season) I don't think I'd actually go to college there but it's still kinda cool that the offer is there. :)

Today wasn't too bad. We probably would haven had our asses kicked in practice but there's some stuff being put up in our gym for pre-season baseball practices so we could only use one court and JV got to use it.... I don't really know why, probably cuz varsity got more practice out of our tournaments and we all had cars to drive ourselves home early. Well instead of practice we did our usual 500 sit-ups, 450 jump ropes, and 40 push ups (or in my case 80 "girl" push ups) then we went into the weight room and got all of that crap out of the way. After lifting we went into the gym to do some plyometrics that totally sucked cuz it just proved that our team sucks at jumping and then we went to do a mile of indian runs (sorry if this term offends anyone, it's not meant to be offensive) Practice got out about a half hour early so afterwards I came home, took a shower and hung out for a little and then I got stuck taking down christmas decorations to get ready for our annual Mexican dinner.

I just got back from Heather's a little bit ago which was fun except for Adam being mad cuz Rob kept giving me his poker chips every time I lost all of mine.... I knew we were friends for a reason :) (we weren't actually playing for money so it wasn't a big deal but I guess it was to Adam) Rob and Adam left while Heather and brad went out to smoke and then Jess and steph showed up for a little bit. Brad ended up going home early and Jess and steph went to mcdonalds cuz they felt like it. Heather, Marie and I ended up watching an old episode of the OC cuz Heather got the first season for christmas so that was kinda cool. I think I'm gonna do something with Heather for new years cuz nothing else was/is planned that I know of and I have no intention of staying home and doing nothing. Hopefully it will be fun.

Alright well I should go so I can get some sleep before a long day tomorrow (Cleaning, senior project and then staying up late=tiring)

Peace out

Rita

rudy325 — 2005-01-23T04:01:54-05:00

ok so the past few days have been pretty sweet. No school for me since last Tuesday cuz I didn't go on Wednesday and then Thursday and Friday no school for Marcellus! I guess a water main broke or something on Thursday and there was water everywhere so the high school was closed and then I guess they closed school on friday cuz it would have been too expensive to have the buses go out for just the Junior High and Elementary schools. So Thursday I stayed home and slept most of the day away and helped my dad make some jerky. I don't really eat the stuff but I thought it would have been nice to make it with him, even though we both ended up falling asleep while it was in the oven. So I ended up waking up just in time to watch the OC and then I stayed up for a little bit to watch that new show Point Pleasant. I'm not really a religious person but I kinda liked the show.

Friday I woke up kinda late again and then ended up going to Nick's that night to hang out with her, Shan, Lauren and Rachel. When I got there everyone was getting ready to eat but I had already eaten so I watched tv while they all ate dinner. Then after that we went downstairs and just hung out and somehow we got around to wrestling. I think it started by all of us trying to pants shannon (which I think I got a picture of haha) Then after we settled down a little bit we watched Wimbledon cuz Shannon hadn't seen it yet. As soon as that was over it was back to the wrestling but it was pretty rough. I'm pretty sure the huge bruise on my arm is from lauren. She's one tough cookie! (probably cuz she's a hair puller haha :) ) Finally we all chilled out while we waited for Lauren's ride to get there and then I had to leave at 11 cuz of my tournament the next day. It sucked cuz my car was freezing since the thermostat is broken. Hopefully it'll get fixed soon.

So yesterday was the tournament at home. It wasn't too bad. We only lost a couple of games (one to FM and one to Fulton) Thankfully we won our tournament cuz we have a huge game against Caz on Monday and then practice all week before we have to play Caz again on Saturday so if we lost our own tournament then I'm sure our practices would have been way worse than they're already going to be.

I haven't really done anything today so I should probably go so I can do some laundry so I'll have clean uniforms for tomorrow and so I can watch the rest of the EAGLES game!

peace out,

Rita

This is completely random but, I can't wait until I go to England. The walker students are coming here during March and the closer it gets to them coming here the more excited I get to go there. I hope it's as much fun as I'm building it up to be.

rudy325 — 2005-01-29T10:01:28-05:00

So yea today was one of the most tiring days of my life....kind of. I had my game at Caz at around 3:30ish and it ended up going 5 games and we didn't finish until almost 6. That's two and a half hours of playing straight with one sub for me somewhere in the 2nd game for about two plays and then I was back in. We ended up winning which is awesome but I am soooo tired right now. So anyway, I got home from the game and started watching the Syracuse, Pittsburg game which sucked cuz SU totally could've won but they blew a bunch of stupid stuff and let Pittsburg back in. Oh well, it happens.

Yesterday I went with my mom and we both got our hair cut. I really like mine cuz it's still pretty long but I have a side type of bang (except that it's longer than bangs) but it sucked for today cuz I couldn't use a clip to hold it back during my game so it was wicked fricken annoying. After I got my hair done my mom and I went to go get little gifts for caitlin and her mom for driving around places for volleyball. We ended up getting them these little cocoa set things that I'm way jealous of cuz it has a huge mug and cocoa with cinnamon sticks.....just makes you wanna make some cocoa and watch a movie :)

Last night I ended up going over to Nick's house to hang out with her and Shan and to watch The First Daughter. The movie SUCKED so bad. It was the corniest thing I've ever seen in my entire life. After that ended shannon left so she could call her boyfriend cuz they were fighting and then I left a little while later cuz we were both so tired.....which is really weird cuz I ended up staying up pretty late for no reason. Next week is gonna be crazy. I have games Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. I'm gonna be so fricken tired. Hopefully I'll get this burst of energy in there somewhere but I doubt it.

Alright well I'm off to take a shower and then off to bed.

Peace out,

Rita

just a little dancing

rudy325 — 2005-02-16T10:02:51-05:00

Ok so I haven't updated in forever and I figured now would be a good time since I don't wanna get too far behind. Volleyball's going pretty great, we're still undefeated and we're going to the finals for sectionals on Saturday against Oneida which is pretty cool cuz at least if we lose (which I really hope that we won't) it will be to team that has some of my friends on it. Other than volleyball there hasn't been a whole lot but some stuff here and there. The Valentine's dance was last Saturday and that was pretty fun except for this whole half hour where the DJ played all this really stupid music that no one really likes dancing to but they're the group ones so most people just end up doing them.....i.e. the electric slide.....not necessarily bad but would that be your first choice? Well it's not mine. Plus there was someone I wanted to dance with a ton but it didn't really work out. I was supposed to go to Lauren's after the dance to watch The Notebook with everyone but my mom was having a spaz attack....probably because she got her taxes done that morning and she got mine and my bro's report cards....not such a good thing this marking period. CALCULUS SUCKS THE BIG ONE by the way. Hopefully that grade will go up a ton....

I've been kinda frustrated lately....I don't even really know if frustrated is the word I'm looking for but you'll get what I mean. So I think I like someone but I don't know yet. I don't really wanna say a whole lot about it cuz I don't really wanna let the cat out of the bag (I never got that saying) and especially since he has a girlfriend..... I don't know if I should do anything about it but for now I'm just gonna leave it alone and see what happens.

I've been pretty busy lately too which is kinda stressful cuz I've had practice every day (or a game) then on Tuesdays I tutor at the elementary school, Wednesdays I usually don't have any extra clubs or anything so I'm trying to stay after for calc but that hasn't been working out cuz my teacher always has meetings, Thursdays I've had Senior Class officer meetings about our ball and some of the other stuff we do for the senior class, plus on the other days of the week I do stuff with my friends and I watch a couple of television shows (I think I'm down to Everwood, Summerland, The OC, and then sometimes I'll watch American Idol with my mom) ......you'd think tv would be calming but I usually have homework or i have to take a shower and eat dinner somewhere in there too so even when I watch something I know that as soon as it's over I have to move on to do something else.

Ok well I'm positive that I'll think of more stuff to post later but for now I'm gonna have to say goodnight cuz I need to get some sleep.

Peace out

rudy325 — 2005-02-18T10:02:26-05:00

I am soooo nervous for tomorrow!!! I think this is the most nervous I've ever been for anything in my life and it's kinda overwhelming. I just really really really hope that we do well in our game and that we win. It would be so incredibly amazing and it would be perfect for my senior year.

Wish me luck!!

Peace out,

grrr

rudy325 — 2005-02-19T12:02:25-05:00

Ok so that guy that I said that I might like..... I think I'm just gonna give it up cuz there's no point since he's so completely CLUELESS. Can you tell I'm pissed cuz I am. grrr

I had a dream about you last night....

rudy325 — 2005-02-22T10:02:41-05:00

Ok well I'm in need of a shower and I should probably stretch my legs out.

Leave me funny stories!!

Peace out,

that's so bonk

rudy325 — 2005-03-25T02:03:54-05:00

So the past couple of weeks have been pretty crazy. The British kids are here now and they're so hysterical. I can't wait until I go over there. We went to NYC this past Monday and it was pretty cool. I'd never been there before so it was cool to go but some of the stuff that we stopped to see was pretty homo. Some parts it felt like we were wasting a bunch of time (considering we were only there for the day) plus Nicole couldn't go because she was really sick so that kinda sucked. I still got to go with Shan though so that was fun.

Track hasn't been too bad. Some of the fricken freshman don't really get the whole running part of track so they've been kinda walking here and there so that helped us to get an extra couple of miles of running yesterday....it sucked but it wasn't too terrible. My foot fell asleep somehow while I was running and I couldn't feel it for most of the run so it kinda hurt but then out of nowhere on the third hill it felt fine...it was kinda weird. Well after the run I went inside to lift and I was pretty tired so I made ryan and alec give me a shoulder massage. Well, technically Alec owed me one from the time I gave him a back massage but anyways, Thanks boys :)

I think I've pretty much decided that I'm not gonna go to the senior ball cuz I don't have a date and I don't really wanna go by myself. Technically I could go cuz I have a couple of options to go with people but I don't really wanna go with them. I really just wanna go with someone who I'd have a ton of fun with as a friend. I don't know. It sounds stupid but I just don't want to be a third wheel to everyone else.

Ok so a couple of weekends ago I tried to get a limo for a party and it never showed up, but the next day I got calls from the limp place and they said that the limo didn't show because it had gotten into an accident. So to make up for it they are gonna give me a free 16 passenger excursion for 4 hours. this sounds pretty cool but I haven't been able to pick out a day to do it cuz I've been so busy with school, sports, english people, other people's plans, and family stuff. I don't know when I'm gonna be able to do it but hopefully I'll be able to plan it for sometime soon.

Ok well I should get back to cleaning cuz we're having a family thing tonight in Liverpool and I don't wanna get stuck cleaning the house on the rest of my long weekend. Leave me funny stories!

Peace out,

Rita

hey it's Easter.....eat some candy or something

rudy325 — 2005-03-27T03:03:06-05:00

Just a quick update. Found out a couple days ago that I got into Potsdam and Oneonta. Still waiting to hear from Plattsburgh cuz the coach is really interested in me playing there so hopefully I'll be getting that letter soon. I finally got my webshots albums figured out so now people can see all my cool pictures. Went out last night until about 12:30 then came home cuz Danielle and Stacey were tired from their trip to DC. They go back to England in a few days so we're trying to plan something fun for them to do tonight since we don't have school tomorrow. Hopefully the country club is open that way we can go dancing and hang out. I think that's about it for now. If I think of something I'll let you know.

peace out,

Rita

yup

rudy325 — 2005-04-02T07:04:15-05:00

I got into Plattsburgh

"Alec get your crotch out of my face"

rudy325 — 2005-04-13T05:04:27-05:00

Yea so these past couple of weeks have been pretty great, minus a few things here and there but nothing too dramatizing. So to start with the bad...my mom and I got into an arguement over something stupid which sucks cuz I hate fighting with her cuz everytime I do it just makes me want to go to college faster. Kinda mean I admit but whatever. I also had a problem with my fafsa form so I have to redo it so that I can get my financial aid figured out for college.

So good stuff now, I had a meet a last wednesday and I ended up getting 92'3" on Discus! Then yesterday I had a meet at Solvay and I ended up throwing it 98'7"!!! I was sooooo excited. That's my new PR and as long as I can do that at an invitational then I can go to States Open Qualifier. Brooke and I have a really cool friend named Erich who is nice enough to bring us a sub to our next track meet. (He's such a nice guy). This past week I decided that I'm just gonna go to ball even though I don't have a date so on Saturday I went and got my dress and I LOVE it. Everytime I tell someone about it I make sure that I show them the picture of it online cuz I like it so much. I got a merit scholarship from Plattsburgh which is really cool cuz money is always cool. I'm going to the college this weekend to check it out and to meet the volleyball coach. Hopefully I'll like it cuz the more I think about it the more I think that that's where I'm gonna go. Nicole is going up to Plattsburgh this weekend too and we're staying at the same hotel so at least I'll know someone at the Open House. Tomorrow I'm going to get my new glasses (I needed a new prescription) and to get contacts, that way I don't have to wear glasses for sports. I know there's more good news but I can't think of it right now. I'll try and update again soon!!

Peace out,

Rita

ummm

rudy325 — 2005-05-02T10:05:27-05:00

I really should update this thing sometime soon....

"We get around"

rudy325 — 2005-05-18T05:05:29-05:00

Holy time for me to update!! I haven't been able to get my computer going for a while now so this is really one of the first chances I've gotten to actually see anything online, unless it was at school. So my senior ball was this past weekend and it was a ton of fun. I ended up bringing my friend Loren so that she could win me money at the after party and then went with scott to the actual ball part. I felt bad cuz Scott was so tired at the dance but then it got better at the after the ball party. I ended up winning a mini fridge for my dorm room and then $130 cuz I went in on a cash prize with Chris and Scott. That money will really help me out when I go to England too. :) So the after the ball party was good minus Loren getting sick and going home early but then I also got stuck there until about 7 cuz my mom was helping to clean up. so I went to bed around 7:30 and then Loren called a little before 11 so I had only gotten a few hours of sleep... :-/ But the rest of Sunday I just chilled in bed and watched movies cuz I had to save some energy cuz I had my league meet on Monday for track. That went well by the way cuz I ended up getting second in shot put and first in discus. And I think my coach said that my winning disc means that I get some kind of all star all league thing since I won discus at every meet this year. :) Yesterday I had practice which was kinda pointless cuz I didn't really do a whole lot but at the end of practice all of the girls that are going to sectionals made tie dye wife beaters which we're supposed to wear tomorrow. After I made my shirt I went up to watch the boys baseball game so I could cheer for Chris and Scott. I ended up chilling with Kate, Sami, Meggie, and Dan which was fun. Today was pretty boring... first period I gave dan a back rub and then played cards with chris and Lauren. Second period was a huge class discussion on disney movies...i dont' even wanna get into it... third period I went to a senior seminar, fourth I took a quiz for latin, 5/6 i made a cake with heather, lunch 7, economics 8/9 and then tennis in gym and studyhall 11th. BORING. Practice wasn't too bad. Just a mile of sprints and a couple cool down laps. Sectionals are tomorrow and I'm kinda nervous cuz I know I could do well but lately I haven't been. :( Hopefully the weather will be really nice and I'll do really well, but either way I still have another week of track before open state qualifiers. Ok well to be honest I'm pretty tired of typing and I'm ready to eat some dinner so leave me some funny stories damn it! Peace out, Rita

rudy325 — 2005-05-19T10:05:55-05:00

see if you agree with this....

rudy325 — 2005-05-31T10:05:51-05:00

So this weekend pretty much came and went, minus a few highlights here and there. Friday I went to Jen's party and stayed over, Saturday I got stuck at home working on all the crap that needs to be done before my graduation party, Sunday I was supposed to go out with my friends for a birthday but that fell through so i just played some tennis with some friends and then Monday I got stuck working on more house stuff. My parents are going crazy trying to get the house all set for my grad party, we got a new roof put on this past year, a new dishwasher was put in the other day, we repainted our living room and got new curtains and furniture, our floors are being redone in the kitchen, entranceway, and bathroom, and there's been a ton of work being done on our outside doors to get those repainted and lots of yardwork that seems pointless at this point cuz grass is just gonna keep on growing until my grad party.... It seems pointless getting half of this crap done cuz we didn't really need to do it but i guess my parents figured that since I'll be gone next year they're not gonna wanna have to deal with stuff that they'd eventually have to end up doing on their own.

My dad's been pretty pissy about the whole thing actually cuz he always acts like I never help with anything....which sometimes I admit I don't, but then acts like they're doing everything just for me and I'm being ungrateful. He keeps rubbing it in my face that he's working on the house for my graduation party and that i'm going to England this summer and that whenever they ask me to do something for them I seem to "have a problem".....whatever. I can't wait until I go to England, it's gonna be nice to get out of the house away from all the loonies who are starting to lose their hearing and memory...it just pisses me off.

So thursday I went to Open state qualifiers for track and i won in shot so now i get to go to states on friday and hopefully saturday (friday is semi finals and saturday is finals) I've been keeping up with my workouts for it so hopefully all my hard work will pay off and I'll be able to pull of a top 5 ranking.

Today was my last day of tutoring third graders at the elementary school.....i was kinda sad cuz the kids were so easy to work with and i was grateful i didn't have to help a bunch of little brats but at the same time it's gonna be nice not having to go anymore cuz then i get to actually go HOME after school. Even though next week is my last week of classes.... After tutoring I had to go back up to the high school to have my practice...all by myself I might add, which kinda sucks. Then after I finished I got stuck waiting for my ride so I called Loren and talked her for about an hour so that way I wouldn't have to just sit on my ass looking retarded waiting.

Next Friday is the senior trip to go white water rafting, which should be fun. to be honest I'm not too excited about the whole rafting thing as much as I am about being able to do a big thing with my class for the last time. It won't be the last time with my friends though cuz we're doing a camping trip over a weekend as our last thing together. Now THAT I'm looking forward to. :)

So there was kind of a lot of drama this weekend over guys....they really piss me off sometimes. Sorry guys. so I tried asking a guy friend of mine for advice about this other guy that I like and the one I was asking for advice assumed that I was talking about him and kept giving me crap about how I should just "go with him." I don't think so. For starters it's not cuz this kid isn't nice or anything, but he and I fight ALL the time and he gets pretty moody over stupid shit that shouldn't get him upset. So then I tried telling him that it wasn't him that i was talking about and that made me feel worse cuz then it embarassed him. So then, after I was feeling bad for the kid he flat out asked me if I'd ever had sex before....kinda nosy don't ya think? So I told him that it was personal and then he fricken pissed me off so bad cuz he said that he could "figure me out" and that usually he can tell if people have had sex or not by what kind of person they are. So then...this is what got me.....he said that he couldn't figure me out because I was "motivated and busy but on the other hand I'm really pretty and everything" so that realy pissed me off because even if he didn't realize it, he just stereotyped that pretty people should be having sex and people who are motivated and busy shouldn't. I hate when people stereotype. So that really pissed me off.

So that was my point in writing this entry. I really just wanted to know if it was wrong of me to get pissed at this kid or if it was just a simple question that really wouldn't have been that big of a deal for me to answer.

peace out,

rita

look who actually updated!

rudy325 — 2005-06-08T09:06:47-05:00

I can't believe how crazy this past weekend was. I thought it was gonna be amazing cuz I got out of school early on Friday and I had a ton of stuff that my friends and I had planned out to do but, other than hanging out with Cracka, it wasn't so great. :(

It started out pretty good on Friday cuz besides being really nervous I got out of school at 10:30 to go to states for track. :) Since I was the only one going from my team it was only my coach and I. We went to subway for lunch and then head over to CNS so I could get all set up. As soon as we got there I went to weigh my shot put in and then I went over to the throwing area so I could chill out for a while. My coach and I basically just ended up tanning for a couple of hours cuz I got there so early. It came time to throw and I thought that it was only going to be semi-finals on Friday cuz that's what the order of events had said but then one of the officials told us that we were going to do the semis and then go right into finals. I was pretty pumped cuz then I wouldn't have to worry about coming back the next day and hoping for a good throw and it freed up more space for me to do stuff on Saturday. So I ended up making it to the finals and then out of nowhere I threw 35!! :) So that was my new PR and I wasn't sure, but I thought that it might have put me into the top 6. So as I was waiting to find out what place I had come in Dan called my phone to wish me luck which completely made my day. That kid is such a cutie! So as I was talking to him I found out that I got 5th place!! 5th place at States!!!! :D It was pretty amazing. So I got my medal and stood on the podium and then I watched a few races and head home.

After I left from CNS I went over to pick up Cracka so we could hang out. We ended up getting ready and then head over to Olde Home days so she could see this guy that she likes and then we went out to auburn to see that movie Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. It was good, kind of long, but good. So we got out of that kind of late and I got a call from Scott to go hang out with him and Jeremy and Ben, so Cracka and I went over there and ended up doing just about nothing....unless you count driving to some Cracka's crush's house and back and forth through marcellus doing something. After we dropped the guys off we head back to my house to hang out for a nanosec and then she had to go home at around 2.

Saturday was when all the crap happened. So the plans for Saturday were originally for everyone who was going to be in the Olde Home days parade to go do that and then later on that evening have everyone come back to my house for a bonfire.....but that's not how it worked out at all. I ended up getting this message telling me new plans...only the new plans still included having everyone come to my house, but no one had discussed the plans with me. So needless to say I was kind of upset that my friends would make plans without even telling me about them so I told them that I wasn't going to be able to do them and that I was going to hold off on doing the bonfire with them. Instead I decided to just have Cracka and the guys over. So Cracka came over that afternoon and we got ready to go to Olde Home days to meet up with scott and chris so we could see the fireworks. Well once I got there I got a voicemail from someone saying that they were coming to my bonfire (even though I told them not to) and that they "wanted to see my infatuation with scott" I was sooooo pissed. I seriously didn't even know how to react because first I was upset that my own friends would be making jokes about someone that I liked and then I was upset because that meant that someone I had told about me liking scott had spilled the beans....even when I specifically asked them not to. :( So anyways to make a long story short there were some words exchanged on the phone and I decided to not talk to anyone about it after I apologized about uninviting them to the bonfire.... But the decision to not talk to them definitely wasn't a one way thing. It's really upsetting when I think about it cuz it's not so much that these people were mean about the whole thing cuz face it, girls can be mean, it's that I trusted someone and then they went and told someone something that I hadn't wanted anyone to know yet. So after the fireworks Cracka, the guys and I all went back to my house for the bonfire and just hung out. Chris and Ray stayed a little later and played pitch but they left at 2 and then cracka and I went to bed.

Sunday Cracka and I got up around 10 and we seriously sat around on our asses forever cuz there wasn't a car at home for me to go anywhere. Around 5 o'clock my mom got home and then I went with cracka to get something to eat and to bring her home. I had a meeting at 7 at mrs. scuderi's house to get stuff situated out for England and that lasted about an hour and a half and then I went home and went to bed after talking to someone online about the whole bonfire thing....I really shouldn't have cuz I was getting really sick and I got stuck trying to defend myself until about 10:30. Monday I didn't end up going to school cuz I was really really sick (I hate getting a cold in the summer) I only went for a little bit at the end of the day so that I could turn my English portfolio in and to get some yearbook stuff done with Jess.

Tuesday I went into school for first period and then left early cuz I was still really sick, I just didn't want to get another absence from school. I had to make a dessert for the varsity sports banquet so I made brownies, went to get my mom from work, and then came home and started getting ready for the banquet. The banquet was kind of long and really hot but I guess it was worth it cuz I ended up getting MVP for track. :) :)

Well today was pretty drama free. I went to school, signed some yearbooks, got my yearbook signed, had an actual class or two and then went home for a while before going to pick up my mom from work. Hopefully tomorrow will be just like that cuz it would be really nice to have my last day of high school (last day EVER might I add :) ) be drama free. Friday is the senior trip and we're supposed to go white water rafting. I'm still trying to figure out if I want to go or not. I probably will so that I can hang out with my friends who've hepled me out with everything. I'll definitely be updating soon so I can fill everyone in on what happens.

Leave me a funny story...I need it!

peace out,

Rita

time to update

rudy325 — 2006-12-05T03:12:46-05:00

It's been so long since I've updated my mindsay and I feel like now is a good time to start updating more, and not because there's a whole lot of particularly exciting things going on but just because I haven't actually updated what's going on in my life to anyone really. So if you think about it, I've kept the last year to myself....that's kind of sad.

So I guess I should start from where I left off. I'm no longer at Plattsburgh. That's right, I screwed up and left an education that I probably should have stuck with. But I ended up moving into an apartment with Tom and it's been one of the best decisions I've ever made. We've been together for about 15 months and we've been in the apartment together for exactly one year this month. I started going to another school this past fall but the school didn't have a form that they needed or something so I was dropped from all my classes. That seriously pissed me off. I was doing well in my classes too. So now I want to pick them up again this spring but take them online so I don't have to worry about dealing with problems like before. Ok whatever, enough about school.

So when I told my mom about wanting to leave school and move in with Tom she was furious and it was really rough on both of us I think, but now I feel like we're really good. I know that a lot of the reason that we're so good is that she's given Tom a chance and she I think kind of made herself not get so upset about everything. Or maybe she just looked at one of my siblings relationships and then at mine with Tom and realized that things are changing and that she needed to kind of just roll with the punches in order for her to not go crazy. But anyways, I'm really happy that we're doing so well, and I love that she gets along with Tom so well. I would say more about my dad but he's pretty quiet and I think he's just dealing with everything on his own, which makes it easier for everyone. The only thing that's been stressful about having a better relationship with my mom is that it's a LOT of driving. I really like visiting but I get so sick of driving. And I know this is a little off topic but it really pisses me off that my brother and sister don't try to visit my parents a little more. I realize that everyone has their own thing going but they're so much closer than I am and I probably see my parents more than they do. I would hate if my kids did that to me when I'm older. I understand that they have their own things going on but I don't think it would kill them to call once in a while or something.

And I know this is going to sound terrible but I feel like my brother and sister and I, don't really have a whole lot of relationship going on. Hank's busy with school and running and girls, and he always said that once he was out of the house he didn't want to go back, so I don't really talk to him, and even when I do it's like I have to leave him a message and he doesn't even get back to me. And it's not like I don't make an effort because I've tried going to watch him run and do nice things for him so that he knows that I'm there but I feel like he doesn't care. He's not really like what he used to be like and it happened so quick and I wasn't there when it happened so it feels weird. He swears a lot more and lies to people and it's just not the guy that he used to be. I know he would hate if I said this too but I feel like sometimes he acts a lot like my father and that's not exactly something to be proud of.

I feel like my sister and I are even worse. When I found out about her relationship last Easter I was feeling so many emotions and I feel like the only one that she paid attention to was my anger. But that's not all I felt. At that moment in time I was just so taken back by what was going on and it really reallllllly hurt that she couldn't even tell me. I think that no matter how much I get over what's going on, I'll never get over the fact that she couldn't even tell me herself...or the fact that she STILL hasn't told me. It's not easy for people to say the things that are important but it has to be done. I feel like she's not only upsetting me by it, but it makes it hard for me to look at her with credibility. Sure I can ask her about math equations, but what happens when I want to ask her something about life? She can't even admit to a relationship that she's in, and she probably won't until she announces that she's engaged or something. And it's not like I have anything against The D-man, it's just that it's something that I'm dealing with differenlty than everyone else I guess. But I feel like she thinks the same thing about us not being close. After last Easter she barely talked to me and we've never really been as close as we were before all this happened. I feel like she was being selfish. It was like she didn't talk to me because she felt that was she was doing was ok. So it was like she didn't accept my opinion even though my opinion was in no way being pushed on her. It was just how I felt. The weird thing is that I have no problem with it now, it's still not something that I would ever see myself doing but I think I understand why it works for her. When you have a connection with someone you just have it. There's not really a whole lot you can do about that connection after a certain point.

Ok I spent too much time on that but it felt kinda good to get it out...even though I've already told Tom everything I feel, it's still nice to vent.

Ok so enough family stuff. On to happier things. Tom and I decorated our apartment for Christmas this year! Last year we had just moved in and we didn't really have any decorations so it was pretty boring. Plus we didn't even spend Christmas here last year. Well, we're not spending it here this year either because we're each going to our parents' houses but it's still nice to have Christmas decorations up. We got ourselves one of those little trees and some lights and we're all set. The only problem is that our cat Seven keeps jumping on the chest that the tree is on and she bites and it so that the little pine needles fall off.....We don't even have a real tree and we have to deal with needles. what a pain.

Ok well I've been updating for over an hour and I know there are more productive things that I should be doing right now so I'll check you all later and hopefully I'll be back to update soon.

Peaceoutgirlscout,

soooo funny

rudy325 — 2006-12-05T04:12:35-05:00

Ohhhhhhhh man.

This is so funny.

Go back through your blog archive if you've had a mindsay for a while and read all the stupid things that you thought were so important at one point.....and if it doesn't work for you then read mine....I was so lame. hahahaha

I have 4 months

rudy325 — 2006-12-07T12:12:28-05:00

Today is day two of mine and Tom's diets. We're going on a cruise to the Eastern Carribbean in April and both of us really want to lose weight before we go. I especially would like to get rid of some of the weight that I've gained since we moved in but I don't know if I'll be able to. It's not that I don't have the state of mind for it or the means, it's just that it's easier when you have someone to help you along the way. And even though Tom is technically going on a diet too it's not the same because he's at work all day, plus on top of that it'll probably be easier for him to lose the weight he wants just because he's a guy. So then I'm stuck with someone who's going to have it easy and he won't understand that it's harder for me.

...................................................................................................................................

Ok so I wrote that top part about half an hour ago. I figured that I could take a break and call my mom to wish her a happy birthday and when I called her we got to talking about filing taxes this coming year and it made me start wondering about some stuff. So I decided to talk to Tom online and tell him that I didn't know if I had to file and I didn't know if he could claim me. I figured that while I was looking stuff up he could call my mom and wish her a happy birthday cuz I know she'd appreciate that. Well after a little bit of looking through the website that I was on I decided to ask him if he called....and he didn't. So that kind of upset me because I always make time for his family, and not saying that he doesn't put time towards my family but it wouldn't have been to hard to give a quick call and say happy birthday. I would have done it if he had asked me. So then I was a little frustrated and I was looking stuff up online and trying to get the answers to my questions and then making sure that I could give the right answer to Tom and then I couldn't find something through the site. I decided to call the number that they give if you need help with something. Well I told him that I was on hold and I was on hold for about 12 minutes when he comes back to the conversation we were having online and he tells me that he found out what I was trying to find. And I know this is going to sound stupid but that kind of pissed me off because he knew that I was on hold and that I was trying to find things out and when he did that it was like it was pointless for me to be waiting on hold. And then it made me more mad because I started thinking "well how does that work? He can't call my mother to wish her a happy birthday but he can do something that I was already trying to do..." Sometimes I get frustrated because it feels like he doesn't let me try to do things on my own. And it's hard to get upset about it because it's not that he thinks I can't do it, it's just that he wants to be able to do everything for me because he cares about me. How can you get mad at someone who just wants to help you. But I can't sit around all day and let him do everything for me because then it's like my already boring life is made more boring because I don't have to do anything....I don't know if that makes any sense but that's how it feels.

Ok well it's almost one o'clock and I have a date with Days Of Our Lives....I'll have a post about soap operas later tonight.

peaceoutgirlscout,

Senorita Rita

long time no write

rudy325 — 2007-09-20T06:09:12-05:00

Wow, the last time I came on here was December. I guess I haven't had much to say, or maybe I just haven't had much that I want to share. Life's ok. Kinda boring though. I can't wait until December. Tom and I are going to move to Syracuse and I'll finally be out of this apartment. I like having an apartment with Tom but this area is too expensive and it's hard for us to catch up on bills when we keep having crap thrown our way. I always tell him that I feel like we can't catch a break. I don't know, maybe it's God's way of telling me to get off my ass and get a job....not that I really even consider God a part of my life but you get the idea.

A few days ago Tom and I joined Gold's Gym for their free september membership. It's only been a couple of days but I like it so far and it's good for us to start working out more. (I need to lose weight so badly that I could donate to anorexics) I'm also going to try and do yoga tonight...I don't know how that will work out but if nothing else I can at least laugh at myself. One thing I know I can update on is that Tom and I never went on that cruise. Tom lost his job at the credit union and that's when it started getting tough for us. Luckily we both found jobs but it just wasn't enough so he applied at the hotel he used to work at growing up and he ended up getting a management position. The only thing that sucks are the hours cuz his shift is from 3 to 11 and sometimes it changes so it's kind of a pain. I feel like I don't get to hang out with him too much but then again he's only working there because he wants to be able to support us and I love that about him. Ok well this was only supposed to be a quick update cuz I wanna go try that yoga.

peace out

P.S. I will never use the suggested tags after this...my suggested tags for this post are tom cruise sucks, tom cruise, fuck tom cruise.....not exactly the topic I was going for but mindsay obviously has a thing against tome cruise :-p

HELP I NEED ADVICE

rudy325 — 2008-05-03T01:05:47-05:00

I am in desperate need of some advice right now. I can't really go to my best friend or my sister with this right now because they're both really busy but I need some advice.

My boyfriend of over 2 and a half years recently wrote some sketchy e-mails to an ex girlfriend and when I found out about it and confronted him he said that they were just joking with each other. Please Please Please read these e-mails and let me know what you think. (I changed the names for them. they actually signed their own names but I figure I only want advice on what I should think....I don't want to be a bitch about it.)

E-mail 1

hey,

How are you doing today my dear? I hope i didn't get you into too much trouble. It was great seeing you again. It just felt like old times us laughing and smiling and just goofing off. I miss that. Not that i forgot or anything but I thought i may have gotten some defense up against those eyes and smile of yours. But i don't. lol. I am weak. Hey at least we behaved for once. lol. I don't think i would have had you take me to the train station. We would of pulled over at a rest stop on the way and just made out. Until my train left then i would have had to call in. I'm being good i will keep this email rated pg-13. lol. Its unfair you got to feel my butt and i didn't get to feel yours. From what i saw it looks and moves perfectly. I loved everything about you. You are just so georgous. Anyways, i should get back to work. I will chat with you later.

take care,

boyfriend

E-mail 2

hey there
   I'm doing alright today. Just woke up it's around 10am, and it feels nice sleeping in!! Lol. I fell asleep so early last night - Nate went down to do the dishes and came back up and i was asleep. lol. oh well - i had 4 hours of sleep the previous night! No, you didn't get me into any trouble. I just don't want him to get jealous if he knows i'm texting you for hours. It's not like it's interrupting anything - every night is the same. he's on the computer in the room, and i'm watching tv. routin, yet boring. lol. anyway, i hope you don't think i'm like "hiding" you or anything. lol. and feel free to text me whenever, just can't have whole conversations. does that make any sense?? Idk... i'm just being silly. lol.
    It was definately GREAT to see you again. It felt so good to laugh and have fun doing nothing but walking around with a great guy. I haven't laughed so much in a while. lol...my stomach had butterflys pretty much the whole time. And, just so you know, it's nice to know your still weak for my eyes and smile. Makes a woman feel good. Lol. Just so you know, you said you changed "in the mid section" - just wanted to tell you i didn't even notice. You look like the same old Thomas to me! :) hehe....god, i really have missed having you in my life!! It's sooo weird. Like I said the other day. We only dated for like 3months, but somehow you're the one guy that I feel I let get away. Shortest relationship though. lol. I think it's because we were friends for so long before, we had more than just bf/gf, u know? I really considered you my best friend for a while, and i just think that makes such a difference. Does that make sense?? You're a one of a kind guy, Tom, and I am so happy to hopefully have you back in my life. It's prolly expensive but I hope you come home again sometime soon. You better make time for me! lol jk
          So, what else were you going to say in your email? If you DIDNT keep it PG-13! lol. So, we would've pulled over and made out, huh? Lol...my you think highly of yourself. lol... jk jk I just wish I had gotten to take you to the train so we would've had more time to talk. I wish that I had come over sooner. I feel like the time just flew by! I'm glad you were obviously watching the time b/c I wasn't! lol. I just wish we had more time to talk talk. About more things. I was nervous and dind't know what to say some of the time. Im glad you think my butt moves and looks perfect. maybe next time you'll get a chance to "bump" into it. lol. I love the fact that you think i'm Gorgeous. lol. It makes me feel good.
          Alright, i guess i'll let you go. I'll write more later or just wait for you to write back. Hope to hear from you soon!! :)

Missing you tons

Ex-gf

E-mails 3 and 4, the subject line read "hey, beautiful"

3

Hey,

how are you doing? I did get the chance to email you as promised. I love this new job so far. I am learning new things and everyone is great. I can't stop thinking of saturday when i got to see you. I miss you so much and just wished we had more time together. I know i wouldn't have been able to resist your eyes and that smile much longer though. Everytime i looked at you I just wanted to kiss you. In my mind i was picturing us going over the field behind us to a secluded area and just make out. maybe a little more with me making you feel so good that you can't help but smile. Although that kind of good usually comes with a price, your legs will be weak. I have to tell you those pants you were wearing really shape your ass perfectly. I watched you walk time to time and just couldn't help but want to grab it and let you know that i think your perfect. Your hair cut was awesome, i really did love it. It brought out so much of your facial features. I know i am not suppose to have these naughty thoughts but hey if i can have you at least i can dream about you. anyways, got to get going. I will talk with you later.

love,
boyfriend

hey there you

this is the other email i said i'd write in the AM. Hey how come Rita is mad at you? I hope it's not because of me. :( i'd feel really bad. I won't text you anymore unless you tell me when it's ok to.

yeah saturday was awesome. you make me feel so wanted with your email ;). i'm glad you like so much about me. lol. :-P Yeah i totally wanted to go over to that field and do some making out too but we both know that def wouldn't have been a good idea. kissing always leads somewhere. In our case prolly somewhere it shouldn't. lol....
anyway in the other email i think i wrote something about thinking i may still love you or be in love with you. i'm not sure, but i just have this feeling in my stomache (good one lol) everytime i think about you, which as it turns out is most of my day. so idk, just thought i'd let you know.

alright i'm keeping this one short because the other one yesterday was so long - sorry. Nate was around so i had to keep it PG. lol. we need a codeword or somthing so if someone is around while we're texting and we don't wanna start trouble text the codeword and we stop talking. lol. alright well i'll talk to you later. i miss you love!!

love
ex-gf

I think that was the last of the e-mails (but for all I know they weren't the first...I think he just hadn't deleted these yet)

I don't know what to believe when I read these. I want very badly to believe my boyfriend when he says that that's just how they joke with each other but at the same time that seems like a weird way to joke.

Please give some advice!!!
