Phila-lovely

I love philadelphia. Well it has always been my favorite city, I mean why would I go to school there if it wasn't. But this weekend was my yearbook confrence and I stayed smack dab in old city. Like Bank St. which is an alley right off market. It was beautiful, and all the great shops and restaurents right around were awesome. And you could see the entire sky line from the roof because it was right by 2nd st. So incredibly beautiful.

Anyways, Friday I left home about 1ish and drove the 3 1/2 hour drive to philly, which took 4 hours because of damn delware, I seriously hate that state. Ever single time I go through it takes forever::shakes fist::. Anyways, after entering the city I drove through main philly for the first time ever, very scary and tried to find a parking spot. Now I havent paralle parked in ages, since my driving test, almost 3 years ago. So I was looking for a gigantic spot, which I eventually found, but then learned after meeting up with my uncle that it was illegal, I didn't know the arrows on the parking signs actually ment things, but they do, so we moved my car and then he took me to his girlfriends apartment that I stayed at. Let me just say when I live in the city, I want this apartment, so pretty, so classy, so like "I'm 20ish, I have a cool job and I live in Philly". I want that. Once I was settled, I got prettified and meet my uncle Chris for dinner, which was amazingly amazing. We had italian and then walked around old city, and independence hall area, and then headed back to my apartment for some good old fashioned talking. Basically i love him, and i am happy he is in my masque family tree.

So, Saturday was the beginning of the confrence. A yearbook confrence. I was in absolute heaven, like seriously i love yearbook and I will bring the one at Lasalle back to better standards, and have people actually buy the book and pay attention to it. I have one year to turn this book around or the administration is threatening to get rid of it. So if you can help at all, pictures, stories, design, anything, please let me know, right now its me and dawn for the whole book, so help me please! Anyways after the confrence me and a friend I meet there, Sam, went around the city and took cool pictures because we are artsy folk, and we just had a photography class that day. So much fun. We then went to the greyhound station to pick up Cyndi, a friend from home who was coming to stay the weekend. Follwing this was more touristy stuff, like seeing boathouse row, the art museum, logan circle, all at night of course, so incredibly beautiful.

Sunday brought more yearbook, and more of the liz's tour of philadelphia, considering it was Sam and Cyndi's first time in philly. I took them to south street, and then to Pat's to get an amazing cheese steak, which I have to say I taught them well, becuase they both ordered properly and enjoyed their cheese steakes emmensly. Afterwards, I showed them the workings of Septa, and how to buy tokens. Followed by fun with cameras, alcohol, and mirrors back in Sam's hotel room.

Monday brought the end of the confrence and my goodbye to Sam. Which was really really sad, becuase we got pretty close for just meeting on saturday. She is an amazing person that I will definatly keep in touch with and visit, I mean we were ment to be friends, we have the same birthday! Aftewards me and Cyndi went to reading terminal market for an italian hoagie, followed by some shopping and then home.

So basically this weekend was amazing, and I cannot wait until saturday when I am back for good. I can't wait to see the city again and all my lasalle lovelies (golden girls..eeekk). But now i am off to pack, order books, and so on....

i realized what i don't like.

I do not like hard core screamy rock. I do not like smoking. I do not like friends who ditch friends for boys. I do not like rock concerts. I do not like being around sweaty people i do not know. In comparison, I do still like rock. I do like clean air. I do like friends who are still my friend even when they have a boy. I do like accustic sets. I do like being with my friends. All of this I realized at warped tour. Which all in all was a good time, the middle of the day headache I definatly could have lived without. But you can see what else i did not enjoy by the above. I dont wanna go into details, but whatev. I just have a few questions that maybe ya'll can answer.

• Why do people smoke? Especially when they know it will kill you.
• Why do people dress rediculously? Like I understand individuality to a certain extent but seriously some people dress like they are going to the circus.
• Why do people like screamy music? You can't understand the words, someone is just yelling at you constantly.
• Why do people have to be rude? I got some of the meaniest looks today, like all the bands were preaching be nice to each other, and all people can do is act crappy to one another.

I guess thats all for now, I am in an interesting mood. Hopefully packing will make me more excited for tomorrow and my weekend getaway to philly.

Days are numbered.....

Since my job has ended, its time for super fun before it's time to go to school. Tomorrow is warped tour! OMG going to be sooo much fun, I can't wait. Me and my girls are driving to Virginia, to see 40 zillion bands and just have an awesome day. And today me and kay went to the store to get cool shirts to wear. And well I was a bit extravgent and bought 6 shirts and 1 skirt, but they were priced well and I need them, I really really do! Anyways after warped tour on thursday, friday morning I am getting a new cell phone. And considering mine isnt recieving or sending text messages, the battery life is horrible, and I never get service, I feel its time for a new one. So yeaaaa!
After the new cell phone I am driving to Philly for my yearbook conference!! Wahoooo! I really can't wait. Im a yearbook nerd, If ya'll didn't know, so I have already thought up theme ideas and cover ideas....so no worries the yearbook will be smokin! Neways on friday I am gonna meet my uncle so I can get key's to his girlfriends old apartment, thats right an apartment all to my self...yea! On friday night, Chirs is gonna come down to center city and we are gonna go out to dinner...some quality uncle-neicy time :). Then saturday my conference actually starts. Sat night Cyndi is catching the bus up to see me and gonna stay till Monday with me, so I can show her around the city. Saturday night includes going to my uncles bar/restaurant for some dinner. Sunday and Monday include more yearbook conference and showing cyndi around. Monday night we drive home back to MD.
Then all next week is packing and saying goodbye time...and then saturday...LASALLE!! So fun filled times ahead. I cant actually believe its time to go back...I cant wait!

Link Names

So I decided to join the crowd and give names for my links. The names are characters from musicals. Question on who you are? I'll explain, maybe change em if you can think of a better one.

In other news I discovered a freckle on my botton lip....and 12 days!!!!

love it

Prehaps my favorite photo ever.....what a biology book should be used for.

Guys and Dolls

So this past weekend I went and saw a production of Guys and Dolls put on by my local parks and recs association. And it was wonderful, all of the actors and actresses were really really good, all except for the one playing sarah brown, who didnt have the strongest voice, but everyone else was excellent. Like the actor playing Sky Masterson and the actress playing Adelade were exquiste, i mean they did their characters to the t, there performances were almost as good as the ones in the movie. I really enjoyed the whole show, the scene changes were a little long, but it was parks and recs production so I wasn't expecting Broadway perfection. It made me realize how much I miss live performance, and how excited I am for the Masque to start again and to see Wicked on Broadway.

In other news......16 Days!!!
