you're all the things i've got to remember

i'm a bad blogger.

i am also bad at eating dumplings and typing synonymously.

so.
here i am 4 days back from boston.
minus the rain it was a really good time.
the first night tommy and i were pretty waterlogged and irritated so we dried off and went to meet up with jacky pretty close to where we were staying,
we went to a bar called silvertone.
and considering it was a friday night, it was pretty empty. but it was ok cause i don't think i could have done much partying given the state i was in.
so that was a pretty early night.
saturday we went to the new england aquarium. i can't remember the last time i was to an aquarium, but i loved it :)
and if i knew how to upload pictures onto this thing, i'd show you... but you can check out some of the pictures tommy took: http://tom.subinev.com/log/
try not to focus too long on the "ray-ban erin" pictures - your head might fall off.
so. then we did some shopping. i was hoping to get most of my christmas shopping done but i was feeling severely indecisive... plus i didn't want to have extra stuff to carry home. but i bought my mother this necklace i think she'll really love. it's marcasite (sp?) and mother of pearl. whee!
and i got myself an unneeded track jacket. but it's way cute.
time out.
i just said "way cute"
...
BARF
...
ok anyway. it's a very nice track jacket indeed. it makes a nice addition to my already overwhelmingly kelly-green-dominated wardrobe.
thasss soooooolright.
it's kinda short and makes for some tattoo-showage...
yay or nay?

after our shopping excursion was through, we met jacky at her apartment. we got to meet jacky's roomate marla and see her place which is really nice. i'd really like to live in a place like jackys.
kudos baby!
we were too lazy to go out and get dinner so we ordered thai. which was good, except for the fact that we were all really looking forward to our thai iced teas, and they were basically all ice. it was the thai iced tea tease of the century!
buick century?

after that we caught the bus to tommy's friend colins house. we waited for this bus for almost 45 minutes. and the bus stop was right on the corner in front of a liquor store. we looked like two lost surly bums... two well dressed, completely sober "surly bums". haha. so i guess we didn't look like that at all but to anyone not knowing we were waiting for a bus, we looked sketchy. like traveling 18 year olds waiting for someone dumb enough to buy us alcohol.
and then it was off to colins.
there were many activities to take part in at colins, like darts, and hanging upside down, naked from a chin up bar in phong's room. minus the naked.
and the upside down.
then we ( tommy, colin, josh and i) went to this club called...uhm. i forgot what it was called. tommy and i weren't aware of the type of place it was going to be before we got there. and sure enough it was a dancey-half naked girls- kinda club.
and me in my sweater.
so. tom wasn't thrilled at first but after a few he was not really caring too much.
and he got to see me act a fool, dancing and whatnot.
hopefully he doesn't remember too well what that was like. ;)

then we got some tipid pizza which we had no problem exclaiming would have been "BETTER IN NEW YORK!"
because new yorkers just don't stand for mediocre, half cold pizza. we caught the bus, proceeded to be the most annoying 4 people on the bus, walked back to colins house, jumped the stairs (minus me cause i would have broken my neck) and passed out.

so we aimed to wake up early the next morning so we could go to harvard square. but that didn't happen. we wanted to be back on the T to riverside by 2 and we woke up at 11. and we wanted to stop in connecticut to see tommy's cousin and his baby and we wouldn't have had time if we went to harvard square. and i was much more interested in meeting toms family and that olivia! olivia being the cutest baby ever. (second to my niece of course, cause i just have to be that biased) with the tiniest voice ever! (you can find pictures on toms page) so anyway we went to the grecian diner and met GREEK SANTA! yeah i wish we met him...
and then our boston trip came to a close.

so we stopped in connecticut, got our dosage of extreme cuteness from olivia and we were on our way home. we got back to my house around 11.
so. tommy thought i'd have been sick of him by the second day of the trip, but no dice on that one.
i don't think he could have been more wrong where that was concerned. sleeping on sunday night was quite the irritating experience for me. i woke up about every half hour and i got pissed everytime when i realized i was alone.
juvenile me.

so. now it's 12 on friday. i was sopposed to work today from 9 -2 but angela called yesterday and gave me the option of not coming in since it's been so slow lately inthe morning at the store. so yeah i grabbed that opportunity quick since next week i wont have the time to get anything done. i had off yesterday and the entire day was spent christmas shopping and cleaning my unholy mess of a room. oh and cleaning out my beta-bowls. poor fish. but now they're clean :) my mom and i were supposed to get a christmas tree yesterday but we never got the chance so thats what i'll be doing today. that and finishing up the christmas shopping. one more thing to pick up for carl, my dad and mikey.
so i'm off.

this was one long annoying post dontcha think?

i hear: the fire still burns.

you can do anything at zombocom

right now i am looking at the rash i have on my right arm.
why is this rash?
well, tis the season of course!

i have broken out because i was just putting christmas lights up on the bushes outside my house.
it's gross and itchy and it burns.

so i'm just sitting around, waiting for my laundry to finish up. one more load and i'm done!
and then i'm off to pack for boston :)
mmmm... boston...

it's going to be cold and i predict alot of complaining... from myself of course.
tommy is gonna hate me by the end of the next 4 days.

tonight i must:
pack.
bathe. minus the e for those who know what's up.
do an entry for the erin and jacky book.
re-fill the mogu... actually, scratch that cause if i re-fill, i'll have to vacuum and everyone will be asleep by that time.
sorry mogu, you've been bumped once again.
talk to tommy.
and then it's off to sleepytown.
the sooner i get to sleepytown, the sooner i leave for beantown.
ayee yeeeow!

one of tom's presents arrived in the mail yesterday.
oooh! i wonder what it is!
::squeal::


i hear: further seems forever.

heart in the hand of matter

ride the apocalypse. coming through the city side

fallen angel no need to hide.
all bodies collide and fate decides where vengance hits, where our love witll fit.
i can't find your face. i cant see a trace. in a world coming to a close. i'm so damned. i cant win. with my heart in my hands again.

and this is where it began. shot through a shatered lens. and there is virtue in lonliness. in vacant lots and florescent malls. in one room coffins and crowded halls. there is nothing to be done. we have lost all control. i walk in the shadows of your tortured realm.

i'm so damned. i cant win. with my heart in my hands again. take your hurt. a muse of sin. passing glance forgotten. reason to doubt. so pry your eyes froma film that never ends. i'm so damned. i cantt with. with my heart in my hands again


i hear: and you will know us by the trail of dead.

monsoon!

oh no.

i'm bored like what.

i just finished fixing a bed skirt for a fellow "station agent" - amy.
it's about time too, i've only had it for about ohhhh and month or so.

God i am such a lazy good for nothing.
it only took me about a half hour to finish it up, but i put it off so much.

anyway.
i am excited because i just took a look at my audit from school and it seems i have less classes left to take than i thought!
3 liberal arts and 1 free elective.
so i added in the free elective to the schedule i had already mapped out for myself.
it's not so bad.
i'll be taking italian, child psychology, astronomy and painting. and what's cool is that i'll still have time to work, even on days when i have class. thats something i never had the luxury of doing when i was at FIT.
stupid commute.
what was i thinking.
i suppose if i had lived at school, my life would be significantly different now.
and even though i'm not that cool, i still like my life just the way it is right now.
;)

ahem.
so.
now i have to get my ass to kinkos to photocopy some class descriptions from the middlesex booklet so i can send them to FIT to be approved for transferring.
if they cause me any problems i'm going to burn them down.

so i'm off.

to kinkofy my night...
with photocopies that is ;)

every kiss begins with erin

i don't think work was ever so un-eventful.
so angela let me leave early... maybe she was just sick of looking at my face?


fun little tidbit.
i got this site from a post jasmine made on myspace.
it was cute so i squeezed all the fun out of it - a common trait of mine.
http://thesurrealist.co.uk/slogan.cgi

i will now entertain you with the top ten erin slogans of today:

10. "erin with the less fattening centres!" im not too sure about this one...

9. "wow! i could have had an erin!" could, being the operative word

8. "erin really satisfies..." i love being equated with a snickers. and when i tried "tommy" the first one i got was "hungry? why wait? grab a tommy." hmm thanks i think i will...

7. "the right erin at the right time " when is it the wrong time?

6. "it's an erin adventure!" whee!

5. "super erin is almost here... " this is perfect considering i'm always late for stuff

4. "feel the erin." not unless you're tommy

3. "get the door - it's erin." to be closely followed by - ugh who invited her?

2. "what would you do for an erin?" personally i think this should be rephrased as what WOULDN'T you do for an erin?

and my favorite :

1. "happiness is erin shaped." wow. i couldn't have said it better.

and there you have it.

wanna know what else for today?
my feet are freezing.
my hands are clammy.
i heart fruit on the bottom.
tonight tom and i are seeing the fire still burns.
right now i have to go soak the chill from my bones.

ta-

cross town traffic

so far today has been a pretty good day.

i woke up at 9:30. surprisingly enough... that's an accomplishment in of itself, considering that on my days off, i don't really roll out of bed until around 11.
so alright!
i went into princeton to do some christmas shopping. i went into a few stores, but only got stuff for one person on my list. a few days ago i went into mandalay, and when i walked in i thought "wow, they have some pretty cool stuff" and i really thought it was the type of place where i'd get something for my mom, but i didn't. i think it's cause today i really had time to look around and see that there wasn't anything that really made me think "mom."
oh well.
so far i've got jasmine done... aaaand. that's it.
i went to the mall after to look around for the mom and pop. but no luck.
i have such a hard time deciding cause i'm always afraid people wont like what i pick.
i ended up buying myself a scarf and some other stuff i needed. :( i felt guilty after that.

i have a serious guilt complex.
i think i'm too nice.

anyway.
tommy is the only other person i've bought something for. but he's not done yet.
;)

so. it's 7:30.
i ate way too much and now i don't feel so well.
last week i made a promise to myself to encorporate some kind of exercise into my daily routine.
luckily for other people, promises to myself are the only ones i break...
but i guess in this case, it's not so lucky for people who have to look at me.
bah!
so. tonight tommy and i were sopposed to go to NY for the tree lighting, but we decided against that.
it was sopposed to rain tonight...
blasted meteorologists!
but other than that, we decided that the crowds would be really annoying. plus getting there ontime would have been a feat, not to mention getting home at a decent hour.
i sound like an 80 year old.
cause we all know i have to be home by 9 to have ny sleepytime tea and get into bed.

i smell sausage.
i despise sausage.

so anyway. as nice as it would have been to go, we're going to see the tree another time this week.

so i am leaving to buy book number 2 of the "erin and jacky" notebook collection.
and tom will be here around 9.

aaaaaaaand i can't stop smiling.
ok.


ps. all you ladies are missing out... tommys butt is ace!

tom's butt

is the cutest ever.

tom,
i ams in the mood for you
