Current mood:  chipperTuesday, July 26, 20057:58PMsoooo i haven't posted in...hmmm...forever,and i don't intend to post again any time in the near future,but i wanted to let the masses know that at from 9'til like 1ish tonight folks are welcome to come pass the evening the humble McFadden abode and curl up to watch the ORIGINAL bad news bears (b/c there's no way a remake w/ billy bob thorton could possibly live up to the old walter mathau version). sodas and whatever else you can scavenge from our cabinets will be provided (plus the fruit plate that my mother will inevitably put out... those of you who have been here before for any reason will understand...) my apologies for the short notice!! Sunday, January 2, 200512:39PMsoo...new year's was good. a calm, understated sort of evening: dinner w/ austin and then a family-ish party at carolyn's. i decided at about 10:00 that my (slightly delayed...) resolution for 2004 was to not be sober for another new year's eve and i am proud to say that i have, for the first time in my life, managed to keep a new year's resolution! it was a bit... otherworldly, i must say. we were surrounded by parents. mrs. work actually poured me a glass of bourbon. and a 4 glasses of champagne. and a cup of southern comfort. it made me feel...i dunno...old. it seems like going to college has suddenly catapulted me into this world of adulthood. how strange that in the course of four months adults have completely changed the way they relate to me. with the exception of my parents, they all treat me with a certain...respect. it's like we're finally on equal playing ground now. i like it, but it kind of frightens me. now they expect something. when you're young, it's kind of assumed that you won't talk much at on occasions when mingling is required. awkwardness is sort of a foregone conclusion at large social gatherings, so any effort you make to dispel that when you're young is something special and unexpected. now it's a requirement! it's strange to me that now i'm supposed to be the one asking questions and moving the conversation along. mingling is a lot harder than i'd ever thought it would be! the alcohol helped, though. now i know why they always serve wine at "grown-up" parties... Current mood:  relaxedWednesday, December 22, 20049:42PMi am generally acknowledged to be the sworn enemy of all things technological. my laptop broke in august and refuses to function on days that end in "y"... my cell phone battery frequently dies mid-sentence after charging all night... my aim works when it feels like it... and yet, here i sit typing. i'm not quite sure how to do this. never really kept a paper journal before, let alone one that other people read. austin told me over thanksgiving that i was "the most interesting boring person he'd ever met." i'm still not sure how i was supposed to take that, but i think he's probably right. much as i hate to admit it, nothing interesting ever really happens in my life. like take today for instance: woke up at 1, went to the gym, drove home from the gym in the sleet/snow/slush mixture that has been falling all day and is currently trapping me in my eerily silent home, took a shower.... then grandmother came...talked to her/ showed her college pictures/attempted for about 30 minutes to convince her that, despite the fact that i don't have a "vocational" major (i.e. premed,business,teaching,nursing)(actual Current mood:  thoughtful |
