home.

2008-05-16T12:06:50Z

Well. It's been four months.

I'm leaving England tomorrow morning to return to the States. It's been the best experience of my life. I'm sad - I think we all are. However, the memories from this semester will always be unbelievably special to me. I'll have them for years to come and no one can take that away.

I'll also be leaving 7 of the most wonderful girls I've ever met. I don't know how I got so lucky as to end up living with them, but I am eternally grateful. I love them all.

If any of you read this - we WILL keep in touch and I WILL NOT be a slacker. I'm gonna miss you guys like crazy.

So it goes.

Cheers...

spring break 2007.

2007-03-09T22:19:50Z

okay, so spring break 2007 has officially begun.
well, im not home yet..but everyone else in the world is. im sitting here, on this dead campus, bored. but oh well...tomorrow i'll be home, and it will (hopefully) be wonderful. i miss home. i havent been home in like 6 weeks. i think thats a record for me. not sure tho.

i miss brandon.

i want to see people over break. i really do. i hope my 'friends' don't screw me over. when im at school, i obviously don't see anyone from w-b, and i often feel like no one up there cares about me anymore. i want to fix that.

in other news, next weekend is going to end a 4 1/2 year streak. jen is coming back to PA for the weekend. i haven't seen my best (girl) friend in 4 1/2 years and now i'm going to get to. its kind of surreal. i don't even believe it; i won't believe it until next weekend.

this has been one of the most stressful weeks of my life. i hope that break goes smoothly. i can't wait to see brandon, my sister, my parents, everyone. i want today to be over.

i guess that's all. if you read this and want to hangout over break, please let me know. please.

valetines day.

2007-02-14T17:22:52Z

So yeah, happy V-day.

I try really hard to be festive on Valetine's Day. I have no idea why though.

Let's see...I'm wearing my pink sweater, the one I only wear on V-day. I also wore pink and black sneakers. I ate pink yogurt for breakfast. I opened all the Valetine's cards I have been hoarding. My family gave them to me like two weeks ago, but I waited until today to open them.

It's snowing like whoa outside. It's been doing that since Monday night though. The snow pretty much kills my V-day spirit though.

Oh, and the fact that my boyfriend is a million miles away and potentially mad at me also kills the spirit.

Conclusion?
I don't know. I wish I was sent flowers and candy and I had festive pink cupcakes. But I don't.
And I wish I was with my boyfriend on Valentine's Day.

The end.

this weekend...

2007-01-19T21:12:47Z

Someone please take a roadtrip to Lancaster on Saturday or Sunday to visit me, and bring Brandon with you!! I'm so terribly bored and I need to see some friendly faces. Please brighten my weekend. I would be eternally indebted to you.

Call me...570.262.5252 or reply to this. Pleaseeeee.

My new hobby.

2007-01-15T22:01:56Z

So I decided that I needed to take up a new hobby this semester, in order to not lose my mind.

I am going to start coloring a lot. Brandon gave me his Tigger coloring book. It is nice, but he colored all the good pictures ; )

I desparately need a Barbie coloring books, or something similiar. Aka, a coloring book featuring some pretty, model-like, Barbie wannabe in a variety of athletic/social/leisurely situations. Or a coloring book from the Dollar Store. Either works!!!

I'm poor. Someone should me mail me coloring books!!!

PLEASE.

2006-11-13T03:42:24Z

So I really need a ride home for Thanksgiving Break. I actually need one back to school as well, but I am more concerned about getting home right now.

So if anyone would be able to come down to Lancaster on Monday, November 20th to bring me back to Wilkes-Barre, that would be amazingggg. It would be such a huuuge help, you have no idea.

Please help me out. Reply, call me (570.262.5252), or whatever. Thankssss so much!!!

<333

attention!

2006-10-05T17:02:01Z

I really need a ride home from my school in lancaster to wilkes-barre. fall break starts, and i don't have a way home yet :/

If you can help me out, that would be wonderful. I will totally give you gas money. It's about a 2 hour drive from wilkes-barre to lancaster. I only need a ride that one day, I found a way back to school at the end of break.

The time is negotiable, and I will even accept a ride home on Friday, but I would greatly prefer Thursday.

Thank you so much :D

today

2006-10-02T14:20:27Z

today is my 20th birthday.

so far, several things have gone wrong. that stinks.

wish me a good one...

to sum it up,

2006-09-21T16:04:31Z

Your ambivalence exasperates me.

sigh.

2006-01-18T21:09:35Z

I miss my boyfriend :(

2005-09-19T01:55:30Z

okay, now i only need a ride back to lancaster on sunday afternoon! still willing to pay generously. please help me out ! thankssss.

attention!

2005-09-18T20:18:19Z

Okay kids, listen. Brandon and I are offering what we consider to be a generous amount of money to anyone who will pick me up at school in lancaster on friday afternoon/nite, take me to wilkes-barre, and then safely return me to school on sunday afternoon/nite. if two people are willing to do it, i'll split the money and one person can pick me, and one can take me back. whatever, i dont care. i just need to spend next weekend with my boyfriend! haha.

im totally serious..it's not a hard request, and we are pooling our money so it'll be more than a fair amount. we have some possibles thus far, but im asking you all as well. i'd be sooo grateful. thanksss.

importante!

2005-08-03T15:59:03Z

well

2005-07-20T00:57:47Z

Not too many updates, really.

Life is still good.

I got my AP scores yesterday. I got a 3 in Govt/Politics and a 4 in English Lit/Composition. I passed both, so I'm happy. I'm slightly disappointed in Govt. cuz I really deserved a 4 or 5, but we never got to cover the chapter on the supreme court in class. Oh well. No one in Hanover ever got a 5 in English, so I am more than content with my 4. Yay.

Umm..yeah, it's reallllly hot. I took a nap and it was gross.

I wanna go out : /

aha

2005-07-13T18:04:45Z

So let's talk about how grrreat the last 2 days have been! Thats right kids, I said great. Not awful, or horrible, or sad.

On Monday, it was determined that we were going to Jared's for a partayy. Okay, I wasn't sure how I felt about this, cuz I was still real upset about Murf. However, Em convinced me to, she said I needed to get out. I guess I did.

Needless to say, my night consisted of driving Brookes car, wearing pajamas to Walmart, transporting alcohol, seeing lots of cops, drinking and liking it lots, smoking, slight infidelities ( :p you know he deserved it..and trust me, it wasnt anything bad), and falling asleep at 6am, when we were leaving at 10am. Then I headed right to work.

God, it was funny.

Work was good as always. Then I came home, took a shower, and hung around. What was I waiting for? Oh yeah...my DATE. Hahaha, yes kids, Liz scored herself a date on Tuesday nite. With a boy who wasnt Murf.

It's been months since I went out with a guy who paid, opened car doors, and held doors for me. It was veryy nice. I had a good time and I hope that we do it again : )

As for Murf..now obviously, I should address where I stand with him now. I have finally reached closure within myself. I know that I dont need him, he doesnt even want to be with me, and its time to give up on him. I have a month and a half left, and I want to have a lot of fun. So I'm making all this official today. I'm ending it with him, in hopes that we can still be friends. He can be a total dick, but I know I'll miss him, so I really do want to be friends. I hope this goes well : )

Today's been going good so far too. I hope something fun happens tonite!

Byeee

myspace!

2005-07-07T20:49:47Z

2005-07-01T19:48:35Z

I want to party tonite.

If anyone knows of a party, is having one, or wants to have one with me and some other people, call or Im me. I am in desperate need of getting insane tonite.

much love,
liz<3

attention!

2005-06-24T16:01:13Z

My graduation party is tomorrow, June 25th. If I forgot to tell anyone, I apologize. Come anyway! If anyone needs details, leave a comment, IM me, or call(262.5252). You know the drill!

hahahaha

2005-06-07T16:07:10Z

Well, it took four years to accomplish, but they have finally removed my braces. It's about time.

It's spectacular, really. I don't feel like I'm 12yrs old every time I look at my teeth. I love it. And I was able to successfully eat a tootsie roll for the first time in 4 yrs. Ahahah.

Meeting for Family Lit at 2 today. Yesss. Awards nite at 6.30. Oh what an amazing day.

Byee

summer.

2005-06-03T22:41:23Z

Well, I am two days into summer vacation. What have I done so far? Not a heck of a lot.

Highlite of yesterday was getting ice cream with Murf. Highlite of today was lunch at the Asian Cafe with Katie. Hopefully I will do something worthwhile tonite.

My sister and company are in New Jersey at the beach right now. Must be nice..I'd love to be on vacation, even if the weather wasn't quite up to par.

Tomorrow I am getting a haircut. You cannot understand my excitement. I'm used to getting a haircut about once a month- I havent had one in about 4 months. I wanted my hair to be a decent length for the prom. And wow..I can't stand it anymore. So tomorrow..it goes.

Oh yeah..when summer really starts, will someone please let me know? Haha..weather in NEPA sucks right now.

Ughhh..I have to write my student of the month speech this weekend, since I have to give it at the school board meeting on Monday nite. AND I have to finalize my valedictorian speech. I will be the happiest woman in the world when both of those speeches are done. They are the only things left to worry about before graduation.

So it was suggested that at the end of my graduation speech, I just start quoting the lyrics to Copa Cabana, and then all the seniors would join in and sing the refrain. Would it be hilarious? Undoubtedly. But I just know that some assholes wont sing and I'll look like an idiot. Hahaha. Although, even if just Tia sang it would be worth it..lol.

P.S. Susan! You and me need to plan out our rendezvous on graduation day or whatever! Hah.

Byee <3

yep.

2005-05-26T17:45:27Z

So I'm not gonna lie, this has been probably the best year of my life.

It's too bad that it took me until there were only 2 days of high school left to realize this.

We had cap and gown pictures today. I got to wear my valedictorian medal for them :D

Then I thought we were done, so I went home. Sarah calls me..apparently, they still needed to take a picture of the commencement speakers. Hahaha..I finally get back to school like half an hour later and a lot of people were pissed. My bad. Hey, what can I say, I'm a stupid valedictorian. It happens.

Then we all went to Friendlys. That was enjoyable, except for the fact that the manager was a really big dick.

Now I am home. I think I may take a nap. F&M tomorrow to pick out my classes!

hah

2005-05-17T18:29:05Z

Some people in lj communities are just ridiculous. Next time I feel like being verbally degraded, I'll just post in the bright eyes community again. Hahah. They seriously get angry over the stupidest things.

Oh, and I still haven't found the set list for the bright eyes show. But much thanks to all those helpful friends in the bright eyes community!! (sarcasm at its finest? Why yes.)

Anywho. I'm going to see Conor in less than a week : )

yay

2005-05-16T23:36:37Z

So I finally decided that it was time to work on my menu project for Spanish class. I'm all excited and ready to work. I have the various items I'm putting on my menu. I know what pictures I want to draw. But wait..I realize I do not have any colored pencils or crayons! What now!

Mrs. B to the rescue! Out of the corner of my eye, I see the pack of colored pencils that she gave us for Christmas. Brilliant!

I know this is a really ridiculous entry, but that's just the kinda mood I am in.

I'm trying to get started on my valedictorian speech..trying. I'm looking for some quote, poem, or lyric to start it off with. However, I'm very picky. I want this to be the most amazing speech ever, and I want it to relate to me and who I am. Suggestions??

Tis all <33

ahem..

2005-05-14T21:38:38Z

Happy Birthday MollyRoos!!!

Much Love,
Liz <333

friday the 13th

2005-05-13T18:57:25Z

Prom tonite. Murf will be here in what...an hour? AH. I have no intention of being ready when he does get here. Hah, I never am. I spent over 2 hrs at Heather's today. Tia and I got our hair done there. Whew, close call with my hair. What I had originally wanted looked godawful, but luckily we saved it into a nice mess of curls. lol. I like it now.

Hmm..pre-prom plans fell thru, but it happens. I don't really care. I'm an excited woman, nonetheless.

I guess I should get ready now. Or at least pretend I am.
