What i orignally wrote was how disappointed i was in this weekend. All i wanted to do was go dancing with Alex and some friends, but everyone was lazy and the planning was last minute we ended up not doing anything.

I've been on a destructive shopping spree!! Alex keeps an Xbox at my apartment, so I decided to buy DDR and Tetris, but of course I also needed the DDR pad, and Xbox Live so we can play together. And then I wanted a vacuum since the dustbunnies are about to stage a coup if I don't get rid of them all. I also bought more contacts, but fortunately, my perscription has expired so that order got canceled. I also bought some martini glasses to go with my martini shaker which I bought last month (and have never used).

I'm sure I'm expecting something else to be delievered I just don't remember what. I've lost track of all my purchases. That's a bad sign.

So tonight's activities include: cleaning my room with my new vacuum, exercising with my DDR, and having a shaken drink to celebrate. Yep.

My parents are packing up and leaving for that place where all parents eventually go, the Mecca of New York's aging population - Florida. Not that my parents are aging. They are both in their mid-40s. It really doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but I've learned long ago that there is no method to their madness, you just have to go with the flow. Sorry for all the cliches.

My mother called me yesterday to tell me that while cleaning the bathroom cabinet, she found my retainer. I got my braces off sometime around freshman year of high school and was supposed to wear that thing at nights which I gave up about a month after getting it. I had to go back to the orthodontist about every month for a checkup and well after I'd stopped wearing it he would glowingly say "you're doing great! keep it up!"

Eventually, the container with my retainer got toseed somewhere. I had always wondered where it went. I told my mom to throw it out but now I'm wondering if I should've kept it for sentimental reasons. I'm kind of curious to try it on and see just how much my teeth have moved in the last 8 years. It would probably hurt a lot.

In other news, I'm almost ready to pick my thesis lab. In fact, I've sort of picked it and now I'm just sitting on the decision to see how it feels. I'll let you in on a little secret: I'm afraid of commitment.

I'm going to the Whitney today with Katie, followed by watching some Olympic trials: Katie's obsession - track and field, and swimming. I wish I had a great talent that everyone acknowledged.

Oh, and I now join the elite, the chosen few, in having a Gmail account :) teehee

i was just re-reading some of my old posts... man, most of the time i sound annoying and dumb!!!! <--first of all, I use exclamation points too often. Second of all, I have to stop using the word "'cause" it just sounds juvenile. I kinda hate abnoxiously bubbly people, and that's exactly the kind of personality that came through as i was reading my blog.

sorry.

In other news, I just saw Spiderman 2. I liked it. I thought it was a very entertaining film. Are those muscles really Tobey Maguire's? In one of the last scenes, his costume has a very opportune rip along the thigh with his leg muscles bulging through it - was that real? Looking at his head, I just can't imagine him having a well scuplted muscular body.

My copy of Tetris for the Xbox arrived today. This makes it the first video game I've bought for myself. DDR will be the second. Does this make me a tom-boy? hehe

i'm an adult!*

I just opened an IRA, and put in orders to invest the money. So scary!!! Good thing I have many years of investing left, so I can let myself make one or two mistakes early on. I'm going to try and not check my portfolio till the end of the year. It's all about long-term investment. Right.

Kerry-Edwards 2004!*

I'm excited!! This is the first election I'm actually following rather closely. Mostly because it's the most important election in a long time, and also because it's my first as a US citizen.

woohoo!

George Bush shouldn't just lose the upcoming election, he should be impeached.
