GO GO BLACK AND GOLD!!
I wanted to call in sick to work and go to see the B's tonight, but realized that Brian and I are bad luck. Every time we see Bruins/Canadiens (which are usually the games we pick), the B's lose... including game 4. So we went to Brian's and watched it, with Noel, like we did for game 5.
Goddamn, I wish i'd been there. What a friggin' game. By far, the best game i've ever seen.
Wish I could be there for game 7! Good luck in canadian-bacon/curling land, boys!
and can I mention how much Jack Edwards is growing on me? He totally annoyed the hell out of me with his random metaphors and repetitive sayings ("he bangs him!" "dangles"...), but you've got to love the pure passion he has. I swear, on some of Tim Thomas' saves, I think Jack Edwards is going to cream his pants.
Here we go Bruins, Here we Go!
Here we go Bruins, Here we Go!
Here we go Bruins, Here we Go! |

Long time, no update bitches. Here's the scoop:
SCHOOL:: ended surprisingly well. maybe i'm not a failure.
WORK:: way too much. closing too much. but i'm liking the paychecks.
SOX:: YAY. KEEP WINNING.
BROONS:: Hitler stache is gone, Claude Julien is in. New goalie signed. Coupla new kids. Also, "NESN announced today that Jack Edwards will become the full-time Bruins play-by-play announcer, taking over home games from Dale Arnold, whose contract was not renewed. Edwards had called all road games the past two years alongside analyst Andy Brickley. Arnold was offered another position during Bruins telecasts, but declined because of his WEEI commitments."
FANTASY BASEBALL:: i'm in dead last place in Brian's league. Good news is that i'm in 3rd out of 12 in Steve's league. Funny thing is, I haven't even checked that one since it started... I don't set my line ups, and I do fantastic. Maybe I should just ignore the other one too!
SUMMAH:: been working a lot. but Brian and I have been making the most of what we can. aka: lots of drinkin and lots of bowling. and pickup baseball on Sundays. Saw some sweet fireworks at the Salisbury Beach festival too. Been getting lots of chinese food and crazy tropical chinese cocktails at Ocean Wok or Chin Chin with Brian. That's our summer thing. Then there's the occasional trip to Sylvan Street or Michael's for white russians and beeah. And Laura was able to come to Michael's with us! I also went karaoking for the first time! Went to this chinese place in Haverhill with my sis, mom & brian. Me and Danielle debuted with "California Love" by Tupac. Then, a couple weeks later hit the Barn in Amesbury up with "Sweet Caroline" by Neil Diamond.
SURFIN:: We've gone surfing a few times. It's hard because we never work the same shifts... Brian work's in the am and I work in the pm. Sometimes I get out at 5 though, so we go in the evening. We actually went once really super early with his friend Jordan from work, and this girl Rachel that we met a long time ago at a poker game. It was a rad time to surf with them, and then we got sammiches after.
what i've been up to (besides work):
04.21 - Danielle's Bridal shower @ 3:30. champagne at Annie Bourneuf's apartment in Brooklyn, dinner @ a mexican restaurant, dancing.
04.26 - dinner w/Aunt Cheryl & Uncle Bub @ Massiminos in the North End, dessert @ Lulu's.
05.11 - Bowling Banquet @ NBPT Elks. Lots of boozin', food, & prize money.

so glad it's baseball season.
bummed that i'm in 11th in fantasy baseball though! it doesn't help that 3 of my pitchers are on the DL. but, I have the man, the myth, the legend: Dice-K! i'm so stoked on him. i think he's just gonna own this summer.
classes are over soon, may 1st to be exact. psyched for it to end. i'm pretty sure i'm going to do horrible this semester. ooh, big shocker right? anyway, i think i'm good as gravy in advanced fiction, but as for british novel... i got an F on my first 10 page paper, and a C on the midterm. which means i pretty much need an A on the final paper, and an A on the final to freaking pass. and comedy writing i'm not too sure about, i mean, it's an easy class... but i only submitted two sketches (neither of which got picked for the show) and i'm only in one skit because i can't act for shit. oh well.
So, last saturday, after work, Brian and I decided to get some drinks. I had my first mai tai at Chin-Chin's, which was nothing to write home about (i don't know why he likes those so much... but then we went to Michael's Harborside to visit his bouncer friend Danny. so we go inside to warm up and get a beer... and who's dj-ing? MR.MANOLOFF. aka: my high school science teacher. aka: DJ MANOWAR (when he dj'd our school dances). aka: mr. hit on 9th grade girls. aka: mid-life crisis creepo.
hahaha, i almost shit myself. he was rocking spiked bleached hair, and was totally into his music. what a silly silly man.
i really want to go to a show soon, it's been way too long. well, brian and I tried going to the Smoke or Fire show two Saturdays ago... but that was a bust. I drove all the way to the Middle East in Cambridge, only to find it was sold out. fucking Smoke or Fire... sold out?! so ridiculous. since when were they popular? anywho, we ended up just getting some drinks at the bar. but boston prices + toll fee + parking + gas = most expensive drinks ever. stupid Smoke or Fire. Play at TTs next time, where they don't care about ticket limits & fire hazards.
i'm going to NYC this weekend for my sister's bridal shower, which should be fun. i'm hoping that I get some inspiration because I haven't even begun planning the MA one!
ok. bye. |

So, just got back a little while ago from seeing THE RED SOX.
I had no school today, and I was bored, so I decided to go down to Fenway and try to score some tickets. Got there two hours before game time, went to gate E, waited a loooong ass time, and got a rightfield grandstand ticket!!! 27 bucks. Not bad to see Dice-K's Fenway debut!!
It was pretty crazy: loooots of media, lots of japanese people. People were absolutely stoked for Dice-K, and were shouting chants in japanese and stuff.
Unfortunately, the Sox lost. But that was because the Mariners pitcher had almost a no-hitter. Dice-K looked a'ight though, not too consistent, but I haven't lost the faith yet.
 
I'm psyched that it's baseball season.
Ps: um, when did Fenway get a Dunkin' Donuts?! Pretty awesome to be able to get hot chocolate on a freezing cold nite at Fenway, but too bad they charge double the normal price!

Goddamn. I'm going fucking shithouse.
Today was a mess. Just, a mess.
I just want school to go away. It sucks cuz I'm finally getting into my major stuff, which i should be pretty stoked about, but I just fucking hate school. I'm interested in learning about writing, and reading other people's work... and I don't mind the work- I don't mind writing papers, reading novels and handouts, and doing quizzes... I just hate the classes. In specific- two asshole teachers. Well, more accurately, one asshole teacher and one flaky eccentric art-lady "teacher."
And, aside from classes... i'm not even enjoying the actual "college experience." The whole 'having no friends' thing kind of hinders it.
So, i'm severely in the habit of staying up ridiculously late right now, and i'm afraid that it's going to start negatively affecting my whole life again.
I've become accustomed to failure, so it shouldn't be a big deal.
sometimes i just wish that i could sleep forever. no obligations. nobody to disappoint. no deadlines. no schoolwork. no asshole teachers. no lackluster job. no arguing. no worrying. no jealousy. no problems. no nothing. just slumber.

yo yo yo.
alright, so i'm on spring break. it's been pretty lame. no trips to Cabo, no Girls Gone Wild (yet). but, i am thoroughly enjoying sleeping in till 2pm.
alright, i've been putting it off long enough, but the story needs to be told...
my 21st birthday was legendary.
i partied like a rockstar. from my recollections and witnesses' accounts, this is how it went down:
+ went to the Winner's Circle to watch the Bruins. lotsa people came and it was fun. a Bud Light, a Coors Lite and 2 coronas later, the B's lost. i was bummed, so it was time for some shots.
+ had some kind of neon green midori drink, and two red-headed sluts. the jager did me in, and i was stumbling around. and... the Winner's Circle cut me off. haha, SNAP!
+ so, Jamie decided we should leave. and Jamie, Alex, Brian, Laura and I ended up at Ten's, where Jamie bought me and him two lap dances. and i went to give a stripper at the stage a dollar, and i guess i was pretty drunk, because i slapped her ass. hah. oh liz.
+ it was good times, good times. and i'm glad that everyone came, so thank you thank you thank you (laura, ashley & her boy, jamie, alex, steve, ryan, mike, brandi, wendy, chris, bob, jackie, joe, & anyone else i'm forgetting) for making it fun!
+ then, the day after... my parents brought me to Foxwoods. the 2 1/2 hour car ride wasn't as bad as i thought it'd be. i really didn't have that bad of a hangover, which was swell. i didn't win anything at Foxwoods, i was pretty much losing the whole time. but, it was still good times.
well, i pissed away all my birthday money in about a week, and i barely remembered my birthday... so i guess all signs point to a successful 21st!
there ya go. <3 lizbister the great
ps: why do the bruins continue to disappoint me so? and Glen my man Murray is injured again! goddamnit!
pps: picked up three new releases recently- Smoke or Fire's new album is fucking amazing, highly recommended. 'Pop Punk is Not Dead' compilation cd is fun, there's a bunch of shitty riot grrl groups on it, but the other 15 songs are pretty deec. 'The Queers Are Here' dvd... well, not so much. Shitty quality and very short, kind of lame. |

not much to talk about... i'm just bored.
+ the Bruins won tonight. ...finally. it was actually a really good game, very intense. it went into like, 8 or 9 rounds of a shootout. eff yeah.
- so, my car is a effin shitbox. my front windowshield has a huge crack in it (which is fine because i have glass insurance); my driver's side window doesn't go down; and yesterday i got a flat tire. i guess i can't complain too much because i got this car for free from my cousin... but i feel like i'm just plauged with car troubles. i mean, i paid 5000 bucks for the jetta and it had transmission troubles the whole time, the back windowshield exploded, the brakes went and i avoided slamming into a truck by about an inch, and shit leaked from it like crazy. and died in less than a year! i should just ride a bicycle everywhere.
- i'm absolutely ridiculously poor right now. rent, tuition, gas/electric/cable bills, plus... to top it all off, two days ago my dad found my credit card bill payment that I had *thought* i mailed a week ago, on our front lawn in the snow. i clipped it to the mailbox, but i guess the wind blew it into the snow... so now it's going to arrive tuesday, which = a whopping $37 late fee that i'll be charged next month. FUUCCCKKK! also, I don't have enough money in the bank for March's rent... so hopefully i'll get my emerson refund soon and some birthday money.
+ speaking of which, i'm totally stoked about my 21st. i've decided on going to the winner's circle on my bday (24th), because it's close to Amesbury and Newburyport, so nobody will have to drive too far.
+ i also kind of want to go to the hometown throwup in Boston. my birthday is actually the last night of the shows that week... so it'd be really rad to go get drunk and see Darkbuster that night, but i'm pretty sure none of my friends would want to go. bummahhh.
+ in addition to money troubles, i've got CVK and my mother's birthday's coming up to get presents for. and valentine's day of course. but brian and i are both strapped for cash so we're thinking of just getting some cheapo bleacher seats to the Bruins/Edmonton game.
+ school's going alright. i hate my magazine writing class, but mostly because of my teacher. she's like those crazy art teachers that everyone's had once in their lives... only with a giant fucking stick up her ass. but, i really enjoy my comedy writing class and the advanced fiction class. also, british novel is turning out alright. it was my most feared class, but we're actually reading some good stuff, and the teacher swears like a sailor.
i'm bored. peace out.
oh wait, brian and i pooled together and got two new cds: 1) Alkaline Trio 'Remains' - reeeally good. it's all their old b-sides and unreleased tracks, which is awesome because it's the three-chord punk rock from their earlier albums rather than the eyeliner-wearing mopey sissy piano-shit a la 'Crimson.' 2) The Queers 'Munki Brain' - total opposite... less like their earlier stuff; not very angry, more love songs. less typical 3-chord punk rock style, more of a slow laid-back surfy lovey dovey album. it's more like a beach boys album with distortion. but there's a doo-wop song that kicks my ass. |

winter break has been good to me, and i'm uber-sad that it's coming to an end. basically, i've just been up to the same old shiz- working and hanging out with b-face. but, being away from school, the city, and stress has been nice. anywho, here's some updates:
* christmas was swell, i got some rad loot. i finally got a laptop thank god, no more dealing with that peice of crap pc next semester! books: I Like You by Amy Sedaris, All Souls by Michael McDonald, Tears of a Class Clown by Sara Alterman, Now Write!, and a few others that I forget. dvds: Pixies live @ the Paradise, Walk the Line, Fight Club, Jarhead, SNL Best of Mike Myers, Threes Company season 6, Family Guy vol 4, Pete & Pete vol 1, Stella Season 1, and Adventures in Babysitting. Printer ink, candles, hair dryer, bunch of good smelling lotions and girly stuff, candy and a huge-ass case of Kraft Easy Mac.
* my sister and jamil came home for a while too, which was really fun. i went to look at some more wedding dresses with danielle. and we went bowling and shopping and to the movies. we saw 'the Pursuit of Happyness' which was cute. and since they won't be home for my 21st bday, danielle and jamil gave me my presents early: skull & crossbones flask, jesus tshirt, You Got Served dvd, and a doo-rag. for realz. and it's purple.
* brian and i had our three year anniversary on the 21st. cute cute cute. he got me a red sox sweatshirt that i really wanted, a sox tribute cd, some tea and stuff. i got him bruins tickets for the night of our anniversary, bruins charity wives carnival tickets, and a Jericho cd. we are cute. 3 years, wow.
* new year's was pretty tame this year. brian and i both had to work the next morning (we both opened produce!), so we just hung out. watched the three stooges marathon, fell asleep. woo, party animals!
* during winter break, i saw some people i didn't expect to see... including two former bestfriends. hung out with ashley gregware, went shopping and junk. it was good times. then brian and i went bowling with graham and his girlfriend, and while we were there, i saw carolyn o'leary, her boyfriend, and shannon souther! so freakin' weird. she had actually found me on myspace, and we were planning to hang out while she was home, but it was just weird to run into her after like, not speaking to her for 5+ years.
* last sunday brian and i went to the bruins wives charity carnival, which was really cool. it was expensive, because all the autographs and games costed moolah, but it was really fun. and the bruins players are all really cool and down to earth. i got glen murray and marc savard to sign my B's jersey, and i got a hannu toivonen autographed puck. oooh, and we got to tour the locker room, which was pretty cool. and marc savard checked out my ass. but he's going to have to control himself because i'm marrying patrice bergeron.
* i've been absolutely addicted to youtube and pink is the new blog. i can't get enough funny videos and celeb gossip. which reminds me!... hilary duff and that douchebag from good charlotte broke up!! now's my chance! but her new horse teeth are kind of scary. but also, justin timberlake and cameron diaz broke up, so i might have to put h.duff on hold and see what justin's up to.
* got my grades for last semester:
Principles of Marketing = WP
Black, White and Blues = C+
Art of Fiction = C
Intro Creative Writing Fiction = B
* schedule for next semester:
Tuesday/Thursday
10-11:45 WP207A Intro Magazine Writing
12-1:45 LI340 British Novel II
2-3:45 WP315 Advanced Creative Writing: Comedy, Sketch Troup
4-5:45 WP311A Advanced Creative Writing: Fiction
... lots of writing. oh boy.
anywho, i'm sick of updating. i'm going to go watch youtube for three hours. peace out. |

Well, this is now becoming a semester-ly tradition with liz, my friends. I have gotten dropped from yet another course. Mind you, i'm averaging a low A in marketing, having done all the homework, gotten an 86 on the midterm, gotten an A, A-, & B+ on the exercises, and have been actively participating in the group project. But, because i've missed a few too many classes, i'm dunzo. All that work, for fucking nothing. And you know, i could understand if this was like, a writing workshop class where attendance and participation were necessary, but it's not! The hour and fifteen minutes consists of david fucking hoyle talking about how much money he makes and how important he is. The midterm was straight from the book, and i did well on it, while the people that came to class and listened to him did shitty. It doesn't make any fucking sense. If i'm doing well in the class, and am able to pass the test by reading the book, why should I fail? Just because he wants me to sit through his boring-ass lectures about himself and suffer? FUCK THAT.
So, I got dropped on Monday. And when I was walking home from school after my last class, I saw a putrid fucking homeless man puking all over the sidewalk, right on the fucking freedom trail. Humanity absolutely disgusts me right now.
So I went home that night because I just couldn't deal with life. Came back this morning, Brian brought me to the train in Salem before he went to school. Today was just as shitty. I don't like my classes, I don't like my peers, I have no friends here, Boston is losing any appeal it once had, I'm fucking cold and lonely, and all I ever do now is sleep all day.
Plus, because of this drop, I might lose my grant. Which means I can't afford going here anymore. Whatever, that would make the decision easier I guess. I've seriously been thinking about dropping out, which I know is stupid because I'm so far in... plus I don't want to work at shaw's for the rest of my life. And I know if I took a semester off, to work or travel or something, I wouldn't be able to get the motivation to come back.
I wish I was rich. That way I could just go to Logan and take the next plane out of here. And I wouldn't care where it was going.
All i've been of late is depressed or stressed out of my gourd. I think I just need a big fucking fatty.

Ahhh! I have so much shit due!!
I hate how for the first month, professors don't assign anything... then all of a sudden, every teacher wants you to read a bajillion things and write papers on all of it. So, tonight my tasks are:
fiction lit: read 'The Reader' (a 200+ page novel about nazi concentration camps) done; write a 3-5 page response paper done
creative writing: read 'extremely loud & incredibly close', and write a reading journal entry.
marketing: do research for group meeting, done have group meeting @ 5pm done; 2-3 page paper on DTC Advertising; read chapter 6
i don't have homework for my blues class, but we've gotta go to some thing at the MFA tomorrow. last week we had to go to a piano recital at NEC. all these fucking field trips are getting tedious.
But, good news... I did see some good music this past weekend. THE MOTHERFUCKING QUEERS! yeah, it was awesome. haven't seen them in a while. they played the usuals, and a couple ramones songs which was rad. then wimpy sang a whole bunch of songs... which i could've done without, but oh well. it was some good, sweaty, punk rock to dance to. and brian and i shot pool. oh yeah, and i was hanging out and some older guy came up to me in a bruins shirt, and he said "nice shirt" (i had on a bruins sweatshirt). we started talking about the B's... later, Joe invites him onstage! come to find out, he was on original singer wayyy back when in the queers. neato.
and i worked saturday, sunday, and monday. i would've worked tuesday because it should've been a 4 day weekend for me... but emerson's wicked homogay and decided to have monday's classes on tuesday.
well, i'm going to go take a wicked long, hot shower because i'm super-sore from hip hop class last night.

-> school's going alright. got my first paper back. A- for an analysis of a story in Lit Fiction. not too shabby. i'm beginning to like my Fiction writing class as well. except for the fact that i suck at fiction writing. so it goes.
-> went to the mfa college night on thursday... alone. saw Walk there; he wanted to hang out today, but it didn't end up happening. i don't know. last night when he called, he asked if i was still going out with 'the boy', and the phone call quickly ended. so i didn't feel like hanging out today.
-> then, that kid Ross that I met in the Common... he seemed pretty rad, and we had a lot of common interests. we also both don't have many friends in the city, i thought he seemed like a cool kid to hang out with & he said the same. which is why i was bummed when he stopped calling (which, i'm assuming, is because i told him i had a boyfriend).
what the fuck. can't guys and girls just be friends? or is everyone in this fucking city just looking for a lay?
-> whatever. saturday brian & i went to the beantown jazz festival, cuz i had to go for my blues class. it sucked. the band we saw was shitty, the "authentic" bbq we had was shitty, and i spent 30 bucks between tolls, t passes, food, and parking... for a fucking field trip. i'm too poor for this.
-> i've yet to pay my rent. plus i've got a 99 dollar NStar bill. and i just sent a check to Teac for a new needle for my record player, but i've got no moneys in my checking account so i've really gotta situation here. i'd like the new live pixies dvd, and ben kweller's new album. but my wallet's saying no new music this month. le sigh.
-> i signed up for a free trial of netflix because i do absolutely nothing at night except watch movies/tv, and rentals around here are 4 bucks/night. i've rented 'Closer,' which was pretty good, and 'Must Love Dogs'- what can I say? every woman would love a little John Cusack in her life. next on my queue is the 'Big Lebowski'.
-> sitting at home. peoplewatching out of my window. watching movies. refusing to hang out with a guy because i don't trust him. napping instead. and cooking for one. depressing. i don't even drink anymore (it'll be one year at the end of this month), because it's no fun. what is wrong with me.
-> i've got to stop bitching and do my homework. |

nig. i'm tired. and ridiculously bored. so, you ask, why don't you just go to sleep?
simple, i can't.
anywho, went to see 'Spaceman: A Baseball Odyssey' tonight @ the Brattle. i'd already seen it on NESN, but i've got nothin' better to do. plus, i got to talk to bill lee. he's the fucking man.
word. so, i went to the Boston Blues Festival this past Sunday. yeah, we had to go for my blues class, and then write a 2 page paper about it.  
aside from little rainclouds, it wasn't so bad i guess. but i've gotta go to the Boston Jazz Festival this Saturday too, and all these fucking field trips are taking away my work days. i'm too fucking poor for this.
so, i might've made a friend, but who knows. people can't be trusted.

dearest lj,
i think i'm getting sick. physically sick, amongst other things; being lovesick, homesick, sick of emerson, sick of scenesters, sick of homeless people/crazies, and/or sick of people in general, this early in the game could prove fatal.
i might be presumptuous because i'm only 2 weeks in, but thus far, the semester's going decent. i'm in school monday, wednesday, and friday from 8:30-3:45. yes, you read right... eight thirty a.m.! it's pretty awful, but my first class is marketing and it's a pretty big class, so i'm able to space out. then i've got fiction lit, creative writing:fiction, and a blues class. the latter was the one i was most worried about because i don't really have a huge interest in blues and i was just taking it to fufill the interdisciplinary prerequisite, but it's proved to be a pretty awesome class. and the two classes i thought i'd like are proving to be disappointing; in my fiction lit class we read "Brokeback Mountain." so i'm not kidding when i say that emerson is SO FUCKING HOMO-GAY.
i'm passively looking for a job in the boston area, because working at shaw's newburyport on the weekends just ain't cuttin' it for me. i totally enjoy going home to see the boy & surf or whatever, but i've really got to start living it up in boston.
i'd also like to join a club, purely for resume purposes only... because i'm really not into the emerson scene whatsoever. but, i think it would look alright on a resume if i participated in any kind of literary magazine / newspaper activity if i'm seriously going to persue writing. whatever.
one thing i have joined is a hip-hop dance class, and oh man is that a blast. it's an hour long class on wednesday nights, and it's taught by a guy that reminds me of sean paul. it's a killer workout, and it's always good to keep up on that bumpin' and grindin'. except, i move like a robot.
i have done a few fun things. a couple nights ago i went to the museum of science's college night, which was rad. i got to see Body Worlds, a U2 laser light show, a Omni movie about the Coral reef, and a bunch of other shit for free! Body Worlds was fucking sick, i highly recommend it.
oh snap, and a week ago... i got marco sturm, zdeno chara, pj axelsson, brad boyes, marc savard, hannu toivonen, tim thomas, terry o'reilly, and patrice fucking bergeron's autographs. yeah, i'm the fucking bomb. i'm pretty sure patrice wanted to marry me.
other than that, i haven't been up to much. just being bored/lonely. i've been walking a ridiculous amount, because 1) it gets rid of all my excess energy and makes me tired 2) boston is an awesome place to walk around & take pictures in and 3) i'm just too fucking poor for a goddamn $1.25 T token (or 'charlie card' if you must).
i've got boogers. peace out.

ps: i broke the needle on my record player
pps: brian and i joined a bowling league. we are ridiculous.
