1 Down, 3-ish (perhaps more?) To Go...

soooo our first year of college is over. I realize this is a "yeah, duh" statement, but It's just begun to sink in. We've been out of O'Fallon/Dominic/everything that was once familiar for 9 months. Wow. I was on facebook looking at various high school pictures (of the graduating seniors) and I still feel like that is us. It's weird to me that it's been a whole year since we've done any of that stuff. It doesn't seem real. We're growing up. I'm not sure that I'm ready for that. Ok, I am ready for that, but I'm not sure if I've fully come to terms with it. We're all going to be moving on and starting different parts of our lives that have nothing to do with each other. (ok so we've already started...these realizations just come in retrospect.) That is big. I can't wait to be home with you all this summer. It's going to be positively amazing. I miss you all soo much.

Cryptic, yes I know...

He's so confused about everything in his life. I know he's the one. I just know it. How do I get him to realize it?

I Wish

It's not easy saying this to you It's the hardest thing I've ever had to do But boy before you go I want you to know I wish you strength When times are hard Oh I wish with all my heart you find what you're looking forI wish you joy I wish you peace And that every star you see's within your reach And I wish you still loved me I wish that things were different you know that But still I'm happy for the time we had You mean the world to me Baby please believe I wish you strength When times are hard Oh I wish with all my heart you find what you're looking for I wish you joy I wish you peace and that every star you see's within your reach And I wish you still loved me Losing you is tearing me apart But a part of me will be with you no matter where you are I wish you strength When times are hard Oh I wish with all my heart you find what you're looking forI wish you joy I wish you peace And that every star you see's within your reach And I wish you still loved me So this seems to be the song of the month.....sad but true. I only have three more days left at school, and yet it seems as if it will never end. On one hand, I am sad that I am going to have to leave my friends at school; however, I have never been in more need of my friends from home. I need you guys, desperately. See you soon! And until then, I LOVE ALL OF YOU!!!!! Lindsay

Music Man Time!

Ok, I admit it. It was Sarah's sad post on my Facebook wall that made me log in to this old thing and write this blog. I've thought about it a lot in past weeks, but I never actually sat down and did it...sad, no?

I'm coming home tomorrow, ladies! It's going to rock. Look for me at the musical, I will be there cheering on my friends and my darlingest sister and possibly giving a motivational speech (says Joe Siebelts) and it is going to rock!

Ok, love you bunches.

Here Come Peter Cotton Tail...

Ok, so my title has nothing to do with my post, but whatever. I love Easter. So basically I miss you all. Natalie, I definately did not get to spend enough time with you during your spring break. I absolutely cannot wait. Natalie, did I tell you I'm the new dominic JV cheer coach? Diane Mee and I are coaching together...how funny is that? ahhh ok so I have to go, this was quick, but I have class in 24 minutes and this campus is too damn big. Hopefully I will actually get to talk to you all soon...I miss you and love you!!! XOXO.

T Minus Zero Days...and counting the minutes!

First of all, Veronica Mars = HEAVEN. I watched the entire first season in roughly 3 days...lol. I still haven't gotten my hands on season 2, but I hear it's awesome. I can't wait till they stop playing reruns this season! And Dawson's Creek--I love it too. I got really into the last 2-ish seasons when they were still being made...it was like a guilty pleasure. lol. Did you buy the first seasons?? I sooo have to borrow them if you did. I loved watching it, but when they first came out when we were in seventh grade (or however young we were) it was a bit over my head...lol. I remember watching the episode where Pacey and Joey lose their virginity--I thought I was such a rebel! haha. As for One Tree Hill, yes, I would have to agree with you. Oh--ABC just came out with a new show and guess who the star is--> the guy that played Jake on One Tree Hill!! I LOVED him. Also, Laura Prepon (Donna, That 70s Show) is a main character, and there's guest appearances by Lee Norris (Mouth, OTH and Minkas-lol). It's on Thursdays at 9pm. It looks worth checking out--as if I don't already watch too much telelvision. lol. The summary is on ABC.com--you should read it! Ahh ok I have to go...I'm going to the SDH girls' state basketball game...should be fun. woohoo. But then to O-Town to see you lovely ladies!! Ahh I can't wait!!

Journey's End

Silly Sarah! All the boring rants in the world could never bring us down! Besides...we love you times infinity and plus a million. I can't wait to see you. One week, baby!

Today was so amazing. Kristen and I got to meet Hugh Dancy! We heart him. He was in Journey's End, a play at the Belasco Theater, and we got $20 student rush tickets for it - some pretty heavy stuff, let me tell you. I think Kristen is putting a picture of us and him up on Facebook, so watch out for it!

On a much nerdier note...I've been feverishly watching the seasons of Dawson's Creek. I love it; I love Pacey and Joey to the extreme. Oh, and about One Tree Hill...let's just say that Mark Schwahn established certain character traits that he disregards whenever he wants to, and he ruined Brooke to bring her down to Peyton's level.

How did you like Veronica Mars, by the way?

Boring Nothingness

I miss you all so much! Ah I cannot wait until next weekend when I can see my beautiful ladies again! Natalie, I totally understand the roommate thing. Well, sort of, I guess. Mine definately drives me crazy all the time. You're going to have to tell me all about your's next weekend. Lindsay, I'm sorry about your stomach. Granted, that was 3 weeks ago, and I've seen you since then, but I just caught up on all the blogs. Natalie, (again), what do you man Mark Schwann (sp?) is messing up One Tree Hill? I've been sort of following it because I have nothing better to do with my Wednesday nights. Albeit, it's ridiculously drama-filled and completely unrealistic, but oh well. I feel like I haven't blogged in years. (Ok, it's been almost a month. puh.) Anyway, I was just reading my last post, and I feel a little bit stupid. Everything worked out fine. I got decent grades on my tests, so yay for that. And Tim and I are absolutely wonderful. I saw him this morning, and I miss him already. Everything else is decent for me, I suppose. My parents and siblings came to see me today at school, and we went to Chuck E. Cheese. It was so fun! lol. They have the best pizza and bread sticks ever. Unfortunately, I am twelve different kinds of sick right now, but oh well. I'll get over it. Umm...I feel like all I'm doing here is whining. oh well, I suppose. You all love me, so you're going to read it anyway. :) I'm being a loser tonight and not doing anything, but I'm excusing myself because I feel like I'm going to throw up. It's thrilling, let me tell you. I think Kate is going to come over later...she's supposed to be bringing me a diet Pepsi from T-bell...as for now I'm just chilling by myself. I bought Titanic yesterday at Target, and watched that this afternoon after my family left. Well, I watched as much of it as I could (crying along with it) until it made me too depressed, and I had to turn it off. lol. Ahh, this is the most pointless blog ever. I guess I'll stop now before my boring-ness murders my best friends. I love you and cannot wait to see you this weekend!!

Ophellia Parish and Stomach Pains

so I am sitting in the art building at truman with my friend rachel who is an art major. I am bored. Anyways, my stomach hurts also. It feels rather weird, like i dont know how to explain it. but really weird pains. In better news, Sarah is coming up to visit this weekend. And I am excited. NATALIE, you should come too. LOVE EVERYONE AND MISS YOU buNches!

What? Que? Quoi?

Having some roommate problems. I guess it's to be expected when four girls live together in one room, but it is really getting tense around here. How is it that three of us can get along so well, and then there is one person who cannot relate to us or who becomes the source of so much ill-feeling?

Not that I'm trying to deny our role in all of this. I know it takes more than one person to create these petty battles that we fight, but it gets so out of hand sometimes. And although I am not averse to verbally sparring, it is difficult when the other person doesn't play fair. Such is the world of girls in which I live.

I have a lot to finish for this week. Midterms are coming up, too, which seems absolutely ridiculous. I feel like we haven't been back for very long, but when I think of Christmas break, it seems worlds away. I guess it all balances itself out. Sigh.

On another note, you guys soo want to come visit me. New York is the most amazing place in the world, and I want to show it to you! Let me know. I think my Joey is coming this weekend, which will be wonderful. I love him.

Round House Kick Mark Schwann In The Face Day

I feel like I haven't blogged in forever; I feel like I've practically been consumed with all the new, pseudo-adultlike responsibilities that I've had to deal with in recent weeks. First of all, there's The Ram. Being the Features editor is really amazing, don't get me wrong. I actually enjoy editing articles and working with layouts, and all the emailing and article idea scouting I have to do doesn't bother me. I even like sitting in the office until all hours of the night, gorging myself with pizza and caffeine as we struggle to get the issue done before 5 am. "Ramming," as we call it, is wonderful; it also helps that the term has undeniably dirty connotations as well, which is always useful in making people uncomfortable. It's just...when did we get so old? When did all of this become so important?

I miss you all so much, and I feel helpless knowing you have problems I can't help with. I even feel helpless thinking about my own problems, as pathetic as they are. It's almost like that in-between time that characterized the summer is actually gone, and BAM! There is actually something expected of us. I don't know if you guys feel the same way at all, but everytime I sit back and think about what is going on in my life, I feel it all the more.

In (much) lighter news, I am looking forward to the weekend with all of my heart. Going out to dinner tomorrow, and the rest is all...hazy...at the moment. But it sure beats the school week!

I miss and love you all.

Natalie

P.S. I am about to stop watching One Tree Hill because Mark Schwann ruined it. You might not know or care what I'm talking about, but let's just say...I'm pissed beyond belief. That is all.
