clean sheets

I honestly don't know that there's anything better than sleeping in clean, 400 thread count sheets.

oh the spring break memories

*Eric falling in the huge, kiddie pool size ditch
*Tiger Tails--the pregos stripper asking Adam for a dollar, Adam shaking his head no, fivesies on a table dance.
*Drinking tequila like water.
*Birthday cake! (One from Meghan, one from the Marble Slab!)
*My 21st birthday... oh so messy.
*That bottle of Jagermeister.
*"Do you like my body?"
*Trivial Pursuit, 90s edition.
*The bed Hegarty made, but never slept in.
*Hanging out at the Doctor's Care for close to 4 hours.
*Lionel and the $30 drink.
*Oyster digging. "Clam!" still haunts me.
*Surf and turf--clam chowder, steamed oysters, mussels au gratin, shrimp, and steak.
*"Anybody down for a Sanford and Son marathon?"
*Seeing Ashley and Charlie for brunch!!!

my first purchase!

Even though I was way hungover and unshowered, I still thought it was necessary to go buy something on my birthday. I have a new favorite liquor store now cause the man working at the store gave me two free mini bottles of Bailey's for my birthday.

public indecency and accidental nudity

Today is my 21st birthday.

All I have to say is that I'm so incredibly glad it's spring break and no one's around Clemson. If that wasn't the case, the majority of us last night might have ended up in jail.

Three of my most favorite quotes from last night include: "It's exactly like a horse race, but I'm the horse!" and "Did we go downtown last night?" and "You're not going to remember this in the morning anyways!" (And I do... haha)

Highlights of last night were definitely hanging out with awesome people, 21 free shots (ouch), and surviving...

Thinking about last night just makes me smile... I love it!!!

Thanks so much everyone!!!!!!!!!! Especially Ajay!!!!!!!!!!

confused

I slept for about 2 hours when all the sudden I woke up with a knot in my stomach. Why? I'm not sure. It's horrible, and I hope it goes away because I need my health tonight!

Dan and Meghan 

Adam and Hegarty

Adam and me

ch-ch-check it out

So I'm gimp, and I can't figure out how to post pictures here even though everyone says it's fast and easy. Straight up liars.

oh mom...

I just remembered a story I thought I'd share. About a year ago, ma was trying to make a recipe that included whiskey. After rounding up her other ingredients at the grocery store, she comes home from Publix and looks flustered and says, "Did you know that they don't sell whiskey at the grocery store? Where am I supposed to get it??" (You might say, "Give your mom a break, she is an immigrant." But I'd quickly have to argue that since my mom has been in the States for over 30 years.) I gave her directions to the nearest liquor store, and yelled out, "Be sure to get there before 7pm!!" And she didn't even question why her 19-year old daughter was so knowledgeable about alcohol.

spring break

I'll be honest: I've been really spoiled for spring break the past three years. Given, junior year in high school, I was forced to work long hours in the pharmacy department at CVS for five days when my friends were all at the beach (ma wouldn't let me go), but since then, my spring breaks have been way above average. When I was a senior in high school, I went to London to see my sister who was studying abroad for a year. I had just turned 18 so I took my first alcoholic drink at Filthy McNasty's on Easter Sunday. Freshman year in college, my parents flew us all out to Japan where my dad had been doing business on and off. It was my very first trip to Asia, so I'll never forget what it felt like to well, not be the minority. Last year, ma and I went to Austin to see Ann's new life as a law school student. You can't really argue with a trip that you get to see Kelly Clarkson perform at the rodeo. Months ago, I thought I would have a sister studying abroad in Italy (if you notice a trend, basically my family just squeezes into the living quarters of whoever is not in SC for spring break), and although I was ecstatic about the opportunity to travel abroad again, somewhere in my mind I thought, "Man, I won't get to celebrate my 21st birthday with all my friends..." Well now, that's neither here nor there, and for the first time, I'm allowed to do whatever I want for spring break... but all I wish is that I could be with the people who love me and most of all, my family.

Decisions...

I've decided that a good measure of who I am should be found in my ability to have a good time regardless of who I'm with, where we're at, or what we're doing.

I know someone is still lying, but for the time being, I'll put that on the back burner cause the need to clear the air with me was evident yesterday, and the fact that the person I think may be lying now never did so makes me think that maybe they were lying? I'm just not sure who the liar is trying to protect or ruin, but it's obvious to me that the ones in question should be concerned that each other's lies make the other person look so bad in my eyes. Would you lie to protect yourself and let a friend lose respect in someone's eyes?

I'm not sure why people find the need to lie to me, maybe it's just that everyone's just a little bit guilty for disrespecting the fact that I am hurt by losing someone so close to me. I would never stop people from being "just" friends, but I just feel like even mild flirting is disrespectful to me. Two things I would never do are flirt with a friend's exboyfriend or flirt with an exboyfriend's friend. Not only is it in my code of decency, it's in the code of... people.

This is as detailed as I'm ever going to get, and this is the last I'll ever say about it on this website.

In time, the truth will come out, and maybe it'll floor me all over again. But for now, people can say whatever they want; the only people I honestly believe are the people that never doubt me, never lie to me, and never let me down.

Sick

You know what being nice and caring gets you? It gets you sick. Go figure.

Change

Change of scenery... the old website was tired, but I'll always be awkward and struggling.

You know how every birthday, you don't actually feel any older. Of course this birthday, I will not only feel older, naturally, because the bartender will be handing me a drink instead of slapping me on the wrist, but I will feel older cause life has forced me to grow up.

Sometimes when shit hits the fan, you don't know why it's got to be you covered in poo when someone else is doing the slinging, but the good thing about it is that you learn from everything life hands you.

Things I learned while being 20:
1) Go with your gut feeling. Something inside of you is telling you the truth, don't deny it.
2) DON'T LET SOMEONE ELSE TELL YOU WHAT YOU'RE FEELING IS WRONG.
3) If someone is keeping something from you that you have a right to know, they are not your friend.
4) If people can be straight up assholes to you and not think twice about it, they do not care about you.
5) Be patient.
