New Year's Resolutions?

well, its not the new year, but it does feel like the start of something new. after lots of debate, my roommates convinced me that i suck for not ever writing in my blog and that now that we will all be millions of miles away from each other, it's my duty as a good friend and ex-507 Elmer to update it. so thats my end of year/graduation resolution. i've never kept a new years resolution ever though, so we'll see how this one goes.
so, i was just in Illinois visiting and everytime someone asked me where i was from i had to remind myself that i dont go to school in Ann Arbor anymore, which has been my standard answer for the past 4 years. now i have to mumble something about how i just graduated, yet have no definite plans for "The Future." i feel like the future has taken on a life of its own and therefore deserves to be capitalized. anyway, graduation was surreal (all I have to say is thank god for campus corner) and i cant think of a better way to go than sitting next to five of the most amazing people i know while some alumnus droned on about how we are "the net generation." right. everything has been a whirlwind since finals--graduation came and went, sarah left for panama, shirley left for canada, vania started her new job, asier is in england, and so many other people have also somehow disappeared off the face of the earth (and by earth I mean Ann Arbor). this is my first summer in 4 years that I havent fled the country the day after finals, and i have to say summer in A2 is not all its cracked up to be. the campus is dead, my house is being inhabited by 2 new subletters, and i feel a little displaced. but its ok, because within the next few weeks i will know what i'm doing with myself, at least in the immediate future (read: the next year) so that will give me a little peace of mind.
ok thats it for now, i know i promised to update my blog but if i dont have anything interesting to write about, there's no point in babbling :)

WTF. I have the most ridiculous friends :)

Yes, Yes, Yes!!!!!!!!!!

When Harry Met Sally on Orgasms:

Harry: I think they have an OK time.
Sally: How do you know?
Harry: What do you mean how do I know? I know.
Sally: Because they...
Harry: Yes, because they...
Sally: And how do you know that they really...
Harry: What are you saying, that they fake orgasm?
Sally: It's possible.
Harry: Get outta here!
Sally: Why? Most women at one time or another have faked it.
Harry: Well they haven't faked it with me.
Sally: How do you know?
Harry: Because I know.
Sally: Oh, right, that's right, I forgot, you're a man.
Harry: What is that supposed to mean?
Sally: Nothing. It's just that all men are sure it never happened to them and that most women at one time or another have done it so you do the math.
Harry: You don't think that I could tell the difference?
Sally: No.
Harry: Get outta here.
Sally: Ooo...Oh...Ooo...
Harry: Are you OK?
Sally: Oh...Oh god...Ooo Oh God...Oh...Oh...Oh...Oh God...Oh yeah right there Oh! Oh...Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes...Oh...Oh...Yes Yes Yes....Oh...Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes...Oh...Oh... Oh... Oh God Oh... Oh... Huh...

All I have to say to that is -- someone's moaning in my shower and IT'S NOT ME!
The Pimp Pad is alive and kickin' this fine January evening.... 2 roommates down, 4 suspects to go ;)

Balla Baby

8 days and as many high school reunions later, its time to say good-bye to Urbana (or Shurbana as Elly would call it) and head up to Crystal Lake for WSC. I havent spent this much time in Illinois since before I left for Argentina, so it was really nice to see some old friends and catch up a bit... and by catch up I mean go to the bar every night except Christmas Eve and drink more than I have in the last 4 months at school. I dont know what it is about this town, but these fools don't mess around with their bar hopping! so now its almost 3 am the night before I have to drive 3 hours to Chicago and I'm definitely a bit tipsy thanks to Niels and his Vanila Sex :) Its funny because everytime I come back I realize how much fun I have with my friends here, even though I harly ever see or talk to them throughout the year. Whitney is still a Victoria Secret's Angel, Kristel will still kick your ass if you fuck around, Laura is still French and Niels is still addicted to text messaging. the theme song of this week would have to be balla baby (girl, i know you do the nasty!) played at top volume in the get-away vehicle as we flee sketchy Champaign guys.

xmas 05 hit-list:
Whit's sugar cookies
Jay-Z's Black Album
boyfriend stealing and the drama
the tin foil pipe
shot-glass checkers
the office, barfly, guidos, boltinis, the one without a name
the circuit city guy that we ALL knew
the bourne identity! (and all 5 of the movies niels and i tried to watch)
el duraznito laptop
@US sales internship... NYC?

all in all, i would have to say that they were 8 days well spent :P

p.s. I bought my first computer ever yesterday, which is exciting and it means I am officially not living in the stone age anymore! circuit city has the best customer service ever and i'm still wondering why i didnt give him my number.

Velha Infancia

i just got back from playing poker with noisy and some of his friends, i think i only won about two hands and that's only cause joe was helping me on the sly. good thing only my pride was on the line, and not my clothes or my money--that would have made for a much more interesting night.
anyhow, finals are done and i can officially say that i have 100 years of middle eastern conflict ingrained in my memory, in case anyone is interested in picking my brain (that is such a disgusting phrase, by the way). i should feel happy, but i just feel tired. on the way back to e.l. in the car don and i listened to tribalistas and it made me really sad-- thinking about warmer weather and argentina, among other things...

Eu gosto de voce
E gosto de ficar com voce
Meu riso e tao feliz contigo
O meu melhor amigo e o meu amor

funny how songs and letters of recommendation can do that to you. fucking a.

saturday night in the pimp pad

so, its saturday night. today was an unproductive, but somehow fulfilling day. i did some work (but not enough), watched some tv, had dinner at max & erma's and even got a little desert for the road ;)

i should be studying for my last exam on Monday (which is the whole reason i decided to stay in tonight) -- the arab-israeli conflict has already taken over my life and my dreams-- but i just cant bring myself to study. instead, i am indulging my text message habit and eating teddy grahms with sarah and cha-chi. its snowing pretty hard outside, but i have this warm fuzzy feeling inside which is either the result of that anxious feeling you get around finals (when you realized you are completely screwed) or too much chocolate. i have a sneaking suspicion it might be the latter.

sarah is forcing us to listen to christmas music, does anyone else think this could be defined as cruel and unusual punishment?

Sex & the City episode of the day: Models and Mortals. Strangely, this actually ties into my day. Guess which one I am :)
