From Today's Washington Post Online Edition... "Perhaps the best-received line of the entire two-day speech fest was Sharpton's comment about Bush's opposition to the University of Michigan's affirmative action program, in which he suggested 'the most preferential president in history has been George Bush. He went to undergraduate school under preferences. He went to graduate school under preferences. He's the ultimate recipient of a set-aside program. The Supreme Court set aside a whole election to make him the president of the United States.'"

Brief Updates... -I make an amazon "buy me presents" page. its just a set of wishes and suggestions for those of you (ahem. mom.) who have yelled at me for not saying what i want for my birthday, etc. however, since my parents have disowned me, its kind of silly, but i can wish and dream, can't i? oh yeah, and a car should be on there :) -blogger was bought by google? i hope that means good things. -i love work! -i like drinking too, and i did a fair amount of it last night. i also did a fair amount of staring at my drink at Fridays, waiting for 25 minutes for the waiter to bring it over because Andrea went over to the bar to try to get it, and the bartender wouldnt give it. -talked about mcmillan's clone. -john aggozzzzzino, you better not screw up a good thing -tee hee hee -james sent me this and you should look at it too, its wonderful.

Lindsay has inspired me... ...and now its time to update. So here we go.
Mail Call! Its Real Life! So I get a package from my mom last night, with my tax documents. I need to figure out how to file my adult taxes and change all my address info - when my parents said "you're an independent" i thought they meant for 2003. I didnt know i could be retroactively independent :). That's fine tho. Then my mother suggested I go on welfare. That would be a better thing to do then.....working at my job to get healthcare? and food money? I have a job that pays over THREE TIMES the federal poverty level. That would, i hope, disqualify me for welfare benefits. There are a lot more people who are worse off than me. I didn't know that my mother thought I was that bad off. I dont know whether to be insulted or what - i had hoped that if i was having such a hard time of it that i was thinking about welfare my parents would be so kind as to actually help me out in minor ways.
I wonder if this cancels out their earlier offer to let me move home.
Maybe they'll buy Molly another car for her birthday, instead of just mine.
Oh my lord do i not know what to do about family - should i cry? or should i just be in shock?
NEw Topic I like my job. A lot.
NEwer Topic I love Eric Benson. I love Eric Benson. I love Eric Benson. I love Eric Benson. I love Eric Benson. I love Eric Benson. I love Eric Benson. I love Eric Benson. I love Eric Benson.

Ok, so that one wasn't new, but this one might be Lindsay and Denise crack me up. TONS.
Promise? I hadnt realized how blogging about my mom would make me upset. I'm going to calm down and maybe blog later.
NEw Posts? Sorry I've been so lax. I'll send up some stuff today.

Oh yeah... -yay for storey and emily finding a wedding place. now i just need somewhere to stay when we go. -i miss jenny. i havent talked to her in a while (and i just caught up on her webpage) -people stop sucking! :) -I'm working a 12.5 hour day today in order to go to haverford. :) And Brian's not even fixing the tournament for me! -I'm considering learning to cook good things vegan/vegetarian and trying it for a while. Maybe I'll get over my "i hate vegetables" kick. I like meat, but i think going vegetarian for a little while would be neat. Plus, a lot of people already think since I wear bandannas and am terribly liberal I'm vegetarian. Maybe I'll see if I like it - if you are vegan/vegetarian, tell me what i should cook and try! -I have to check up on Angela, too. -Max and Evan, I love you guys too. -so much love, too bad it had to come from hate - but at least it made me realize what love I do have :)

Yeah, Dave, I know... I have been falling behind. So now a little update on my life....
Life (minus debate) Life is great. I love Eric. He's fantastic, friends are fantastic (except when they're high maintenance or not getting along with each other), and I love my new job. Working for Kaplan is great - I am no longer just an office bitch, I'm talking to people and I have actual responsibility. I do office stuff over in the center, but I'm no longer formatting documents and stuff - plus, i want to get trained as a teachertrainer which will look ok on my resume to be a real teacher. The pay is better than my last job, and I can supplement it if i decide to teach again - which since I am working in the regional office and in the center, shouldnt be too hard to get scheduled. Huzzah.
Everyone's home now, and no one is travelling anymore - good, cause i missed people a lot. I havent been updating, but thats cause I've been busy, and have done little but sleep when I came home :). Our room is mostly clean, we still have a lot of back laundry to do and clothes to put away, but we now have places to put them. And I'm starting my Baltimore apartment search (BTW-anyone want to live with me starting in August in Bmore? I'm still choosing where I want to live, i just know i need to be near a MARC station, and probably in the Arbutus area, but I can move into the city if i got a roommate). I could go live in a shitty place and I would love it, cause its going to be (at least partly) mine. Yay.
So everything is going beautifully there. Eric got into W+M, and then got a scholarship to W+M - again, yay, and we're still waiting to hear from UVa and Gtown. I'm still rooting for C-Ville :).
Ironies I got 69 pageviews yesterday, even though I didn't update my page. Lots from GW, lots from Yale, no comments (except for Dave) and just people seeing if I was going to rant post-Northams. Hmm.... Wonder if they'll look today.
Debate and everything after... People expected me to rant about Duke. It was, without question, the worst tournament ever. That includes all F&Ms, Catholic, Yale 2000, and even Emily's interpretation of Chicago 2000. I don't need to rant more - just know that I'm doing my best to get the individuals responsible fired and the tournament not to count.
Northams was more disappointing than not.
I love the Hopkins team, even when some of them view me as a liability. I do not regret fighting for them at every chance. I hope northams happens again. However, I re-discovered this weekend that there are a lot of people who I could live without. People who get really drunk, apologise to me, and then ask me to support them for APDA board - then talk about me the next day and say bad things about me. People who specificially come up to me and tell me they're not scratching me (I might name names later) and then do. You can say bad shit to my face, thats fine. You can tell me you're scratching me to my face (i was actually trying to figure out if it was more advantageous for MIT A to scratch me [since no one on hopkins would let me judge them anyway] or Jessa [who might judge them fairly, but who might also place a higher burden on them for picking on our team], and i told phil that in an effort to try to be helpful) I have a thick skin unless you a) lie to me or b) talk about me behind my back. If you're upfront and explain why you're doing what you're doing and don't lie, then that's SO much better than the alternative.
I wanted to quit on saturday night. No one realized this, and to be honest, if it wasnt for the people who dont suck (parts of NYU, Columbia, Fordham, princeton if i trust them, swat, haverford, small parts of penn, hopkins [most], my kids, gw, au, uva, and w+m, not an exhaustive list) I'd be out. That seems like a long list, but if you think of all the other people who look at my page, let alone debate, you'll see the trouble.
Oh, and I don't hate Beth O'Connor. I feel like I have to qualify that everytime i say something bad on my page. :) I actually think she's pretty nice, and generally cute, even if i dont think she's the gorgeous babe that i've heard boys raving about since I was much younger. :).
