so omg.. there is this guy that looks like micheal jackson on nip tuck.. the drama on the bravo channel. it's so weird lately, i have been seeing so many people that look like the people i go to school with. maybe it's because i miss all my rit friends. or maybe it's because of something like the chaos theory. in the mist of the confusion and chaos, there are patterns that start to emerge within it. maybe there are patterns of likeness that come through people, so we all look like someone else eventually. thinking of the chaos theory... i truely think that that is absolutely true. through all my years of moving around... and the count is now going to be 4 states, 6 cities, 9 houses and 7 moves (this is not counting my move to rochester to go to school)... the chaos theory holds water. i always seem to run into someone of my past, or someone that knows someone of my past, or my past just comes up and kicks me in the ass. event though i move so very far away, and i never visit my past homes, they still come to visit me. i wonder what i'll discover in the future.

so yesterday was graduation. it was a nice ceremony, and i saw a lot of people i knew from high school. it was wierd though...idk...but i didn't stay around too long to chat with people. they have all be living their lives in plattsburgh for the last two years, and it's wierd to just try to fit right back in. but i went to shelby's grad party afterwards. i can't believe she and i are all grown up. i remember back in the day just hanging out and riding our bikes around town. then i went over to the schmitts for their son's grad party. along the way i picked up a job at the summer school as a secretary and monator. not going to be the easiest job, but at least it's something. it was a nice party, got to talk to a lot of different people. today we are having out open house, so i have to disapear somewheres till people are done snopping through the house.

Today was nice. I saw some really old friends. I ran into Mr. Boulrice and Melissa in Walmart. Melissa just got back from brazil from doing a year of study abroad. She is of course tan as all can be and has tons of stories to tell. Mr. Boulrice is holding in there, but of course is health is failing him. It's always nice to run into people randomly.

Wow, i can't believe that the summer is not even half done.. it's has been going slowly. I'm enjoying it though. For once in many years, i have been relaxed, well rested and at ease. I know moving to wisconsin is going to suck if i'm bored... but i'm happy that i'll be able to see my baby cousin, hopefully celebrate his first birthday in august because we will be so close (first time ever). this summer is going well :-)

So today i learned that the peru school buget didn't pass. now usually this would not really bother me, but because the buget didn't pass, there will no longer be sports, art, and music at my old high school!! now this is absolutely rediculous! i can't even imagine a school without sports, music or art. these things are what help build a child's self confidence and social life. i'm so mad at the school board making those horrible decisions that led to the school cutting the most important programs a school to have. also, i know that it is horrible to say, but i'm so glad that shelby and i have already graduated and ben is moving to wisconsin. hopefully he will have a little more culture pumped into him than here in peru. it's so sad... just sad.

A man was walking down the street. He fell into a hole, the walls of this hole were so tall that he couldn't get out. A doctor was walking down the street. The man called out "can you help me, can you help me!" The doctor wrote a perscription on a piece of paper, threw it down into the hole and continued to walk down the street. A priest was walking down the street. The man called out "can you help me, can you help me!" The priest wrote down a prayer on a piece of paper and threw it down the hole. A friend was walking down the street. The man call out "can you help me, can you help me!" The friend jumped down into the hole with the man. The man looked at him and said to the friend "why did you jump down here, now neither of us can get out of the hole". The friend replied "Don't worry, I've been in this hole before and I know the way out".

It's so wierd to think that at the age of 20 I have had so much experience in the real estate market. I've been researching housing out in wisconsin for the last couple days. the process overall is so exhausting and i'm so anxcious. I really want to get out there to see these houses in person. Pictures can be so decieving... a house can look so large in the pic but only be like 1500 sq feet. Whereas, this house i saw online, looked so unbelievably small but it was like 2100 sq feet!! All i know is that when i'm looking for a house for me and my family, i'll know what i'm doing :-)

so today has just been lovely. We had this massive storm, and i was running around trying to close all the windows when i realized that my car windows were cracked open. So i grabbed my keys and my sweatshirt (i was wearing a white tee so i didn't want to give my neighbors a show) and ran outside to close up the windows. When all was good with my car, i ran back to the house only to realize that i was locked out. Both of the front doors and the garage door was closed... and i was outside... with the pouring rain, thunder and lightning. Thank god my mom comes home for lunch, which was soon. so i just sat in my car, soaking wet, listening to the radio. when mom came home, she just laughed at me....

I finished "The Bell Jar" last night. I really liked the book. What i found interesting is that they commit her to an asylum but the writting in the book did not suggest to me that she really needed it. maybe because of the time period of the book, her apathtic nature was a lot more serious, but in modern times, i know people more screwed up than the character and they are not reseving shock treatments. The suicide attemps are another issue... but overall the character's inanity was not protrayed too well. The book is great, and the story was thought provocking.
so today the for sale sign went up on our lawn.... now all we have to do is wait

"I saw my life branching out before me like the green fig tree in the story.
From the tip of every branch, like a fat purple fig, a wonderful future beckoned and winked. One fig was a husband and a happy home and children, and another fig was a famous poet and another fig was a brilliant professor, and another fig was Ee Gee, the amazing editor, and another fig was Europe and Africa and South America, and another fig was Constantin and Socrates and Attila and a pack of other lovers with gueer names and offbeat professions, and another fig was an Olympic lady crew champion, and beyond and above these figs were many more figs I couldn't quite make out.
I saw myself sitting in the crotch of this fig tree, starving to death, just because I couldn't make up my mind which of the figs I would choose. I wanted each and every one of them, but choosing one ment losing all the rest, and, as I sat there, unable to decide, the figs began to wrinkle and go black, and, one by one, they plopped to the ground at my feet."
