Friday, July 23rd, 2004

the game was awesome. soooo cool. We were so close to the field, my dad hasn’t even been that close and he’s been going to yankee games for 47 yrs. I almost got jeter’s autograph but there were little kids in front of me! He was lookin good, and by good i mean blazing hot. I got a great picture of im and jorge smiling at the camera and of my on the yankee dugout. What an awesome birthday present!

Now, i leave at 4:30 (in 2 hrs and 35 mins) to go to t-town…possibly might stop for coffee at the palisades mall with kristy my friend from Cuse, we’ll see how that all works out. So excited to see everyone….we don’t see each other enough, but its hard i guess. see ya when i get back.

I think I have looked at the entire wikipedia.com site. I even learned that Vermont is 49th least populated state with 606,000. I htink there are that many people in the Lehigh Valley. I also learned that Lake Champlain is actually the 6th Great Lake and the sixth biggest lake in the United States. useless crap. I also learned that blond is masculine, and blonde is feminine.

I am so bored today, I don’t want to be here and I am currently trying to figure out if our website experienced a decrease in traffic due to a price increase of a product.

I received a silver paper weight in the shape of a dollar sign. The shape bothers me and why the hell do I need a paperweight, my cubicle isn’t exactly a wind tunnel. papers dont fly off my desk. it says on it “D&B: Decide with Confidence”.

It’s time to go back to school i think. I just want to go on vacay and then im ready to go back.

you can’t beat great live music

Friday, July 16th, 2004

Dave Matthews Band on wednesday was really amazing. I’ve tried 2 other times to see them and the tickets were sold out, so this was a long time comin. It was great, I got to tailgate with my roomies and lewis. I think what I like about DMB the most is that it doesn’t sound manufactured. I love the way they make music. They sounded amazing live. You know how sometimes when you go to a concert, and you want to hear a song exactly how you remember it? It didn’t bother me when the songs sounded different because they still sounded great. They played for 3 hours, basically straight. He barely said anything to the crowd besides a slurred “hey hope everyones havin a good time tonight!!!!!!” “Lie in Our Graves” sounded great and apparently he doesn’t play that too often live, so I lucked out on that one. That song was probably 15 mins long. I felt like I had just ran a marathon after the concert. We all went back to Kristin’s house and crashed. The girls came up to PA then on their way home and stayed for dinner. We watched about 5 hrs of I Love the 90s and I took them to Rita’s and showed them the town of Nazareth (ooooooh) and all that jazz. Meagan kept commenting on the amount of corn. To really realize what your town is truly like, it takes an outsider.

I’ve been wearing my contacts every day for about a week bc i left my glasses at Denise’s in NYC. I hate wearing them everyday.

So, reunion on saturday….can’t miss another day of work so soon, so I’m comin up on friday after work for a little pre-reunion fun…depending on if becca is back from NYC by like 7 or so. I can really be there by like 6 or 5 because I could just come to work early and/or work extra hours in the beginning of the week. I can really make it there in an hour and a half. Tis v. quick.

I really should get back to work….ta ta.

complete madness

Monday, July 12th, 2004

rach and i took the bus into the city on friday, we got there and denise did the welcome that rachel and i both predicted, “AHH ALISA, ROOMIE” with the arms in the air running toward us. ny is just a completely different world than nazareth or little frenchtown nj. we went to the best chinese place i’ve ever been to on 81st and amsterdam. So good, and they just kept serving us wine like it was water, for free! Who was I to object? so great, then we tooled around the city for a while and rode the A train all the way to Denise’s neighborhood at 202nd street. Definitely a spanish neighborhood. It was so fun and interesting. We were gonna go dancing, but it was sold out because MAster P was there. Ha! Definitely doesn’t happen in Nazareth. So we had a little party at Denise’s house and outside her apartment building. Denise is the cutest thing ever. If she saw that your glass was below half full, she’d run and fill it up for you. It was great. Got a good 5 hours of sleep. Denise made us a dominican breakfast of eggs and plantains, it was awesome, but the idea of eating was not too appealing. The subway took forever and i got off the train at 10:47 and my bus left at 10:50. I was hauling ass through the port authority.

the bus home was awful and THEN i had to lifeguard from 2-8. Tomorrow I head down to MD for dave matthews with the girls. We’re gonna stop at my brothers in Towson for din din.

Alison is home from Italia now, so i have another friend to play with. Don’t know where michelle is lately, i can’t remember when she is supposed to go on vacation, but she might have while i was in NY. My birthday is coming up, the big 1-9. Prepare people! honor me.

possibly one of my greatest moments.

tj maxx yesterday. Trying to find osmething cute to wear into the city on friday. so, I have about 4 shirts in my hand and im in the shoe section. I try on some black heels with these crystals onthe front, I’m standing in front of the mirror doing that foot turn thing you do when you look at shoes, turn foot to the side, to the front, side, front. I then took a step to the left, and my feet went out from under me and I completely fell on those tj maxx tiles that frequent shoppers know. Not a trip, or a stumble, but a FALL on my face. I looked around while on the floor and I thought I lucked out incredibly but the salesperson must have heard the SMACK of me hit the floor. She said, “oh my god, are you alright?” I said “yea I’m ok, I don’t think I’ll take the shoes tho”. I was completely mortified and to make matters worse, I tried to grab onto the shoe shelf on the way down and just slid the whole way, so now my nails are sawed down to little stubs. Luckily i was shopping on a wed at about 5 oclock. Just think if I fell during the madness that is TJ maxx on a saturday at 1 in the afternoon. wow. I wish one of my friends was there to see it but I was shopping alone.

Citizen of the World.

Denise is picking us up at the port authority and then we’re goin to her fave chinese restaurant and then back to her apartment and then out dancing! I have to find osmething to wear or else im gonna look like a tourist walkin down the street. I’m sure we’ll get in at like 5 am. Next week is DMB concert in maryland with the roomies kristin meagan and rachel and lewis. should be awesome! Got an invite to erin’s shower…..dont think i’ll be headin up for that one…kinda far. but i can predict that i will be invited to the wedding bc i got invited to the shower. I will look into travel plans and dresses. lol ahead of myself? yes. My birthday is coming up….not sure what I am gonna do for it, its on a thursday, which means my 21st birthday is on a saturday night :) Monday was a sad day for all those who know my cellphone (former cell phone) it was finally put to rest, missing its 4 and 5. It had a long, crappy life. It never worked, and when it did, it would die all the time. Goodbye phone!
