BU vs. MoCo

These three crazy people are coming to my house THIS WEDNESDAY! I can't believe it. It should be really freaking interesting seeing my home friends and college friends interact...but I'm sure I'll love it! YES! I only hang out with the best of the best, so of course they will all get along! :)

Time to get back to work...

#34 "Greek Shaq"

Sometimes it's really hard for me to articulate how I feel or what I think about, well, everything. It's not that I think I'm stupid... I just don't think I have a way with words like others do. This bothers me. Especially because I hope that one day I will be able to properly explain how I felt about the person in this picture. How he really made me feel, and how much of a difference he made in my life. But maybe, that's not really all that important. Maybe it's enough to know what I feel in my heart, and know that he is watching over me.

Today marks the four year anniversary of my best friend's death. I have come a long way since that day, trust me. Sometimes, I look at this date as a marker of how much I've changed. Where I was a year after, two years after, etc. That day in 2005, I had woken up after a night at the Junior Prom, ready to go to my lacrosse playoff game (which I sat out of, Ari wouldn't have liked that). Today, I have graduation, the "real world", and New York on my mind.

The confidence he gave me, and the things he had taught me, I will carry with me for the rest of my life. I found these e-mails yesterday where he said he was really proud of me for making Varsity Lacrosse and he wanted me to score a goal for him. I know that he would have a similar reaction to the things going on in my life now...and this makes me smile.

The most important thing I would want someone to take from my whole monologue is this: You make a difference to those around you - whether you are aware of it or not. I have been without Ari going on four years now, but his spirit? it's still here... and his confidence in me? I still feel it.

Tell someone how much they mean to you this week.

This life is short, and everyone needs someone they can lean on.

That's Magical pt. 2

PS - I took that picture that is the banner when I went to visit NYC Spring Break '08. It was the first time I had ever stayed and visited New York. Move-in Day (the 30th) is the second. Oh, Lord help me... HAHA

That's Magical!

Reasons I started a blog:

(1) Facebook sucks.

(2) I'm moving to N-Y-C. Yes, I am a dork and call it N-Y-C! I am going to be like a TOTAL tourist...and I know absolutely NOTHING about the city...It is definitely going to be and adventure and needs to be documented.

(3) MTV? That job should give me something to talk about, eh? Maybe I'll meet some famous people, or something... or I'll be bored, and want to blog.

(4) My mom has had a blog for like four years and now has a massive following of art fans... somehow I don't think that's what will happen here... but who knows! ;)

(5) My best friend is going to be in AUSTRALIA! We're going to blog and blog and blog about all the fun things we are doing and post pics on here because, once again, Facebook sucks.

Okay, cool. That's enough for now... I hope I don't get too ADD on here... Peace!
