i'm no better at blogging than i am at keeping a diary

I never did get that damn Helio Ocean phone. Now to the point...

First and foremost - goodbye 2008, 2009. Hello 2010! Why am I so inept at updating on my life? Ever since someone bought me my first diary I have been failing at maintenance. I average one entry every year or so. Maybe this third attempt at blogging will stick...? I always want a blog after I see a friend with a moderately successful one.

Wait.

Stop.

We need to address the fact that I am now in college. Currently in college. Actually procrastinating my ASS off in college. For it is 2 am and I have not yet begun writing a five page paper on Heart of (bitchass) Darkness, and I still have much Italian homework to do. 4th all-nighter in a row? YES PLEASE!

I can't really play ultimate catch up right now. Or ever. Because the two years you (you? who do I think I'm talking to...?) missed were positively jampacked with noteworthy occurrences. Honestly. My life is terribly interesting.

That sounds sarcastic, and I guess it is, except that I actually do think my life is terribly interesting.

So, who am I? I'm different, I suppose. I must be. Some things I feel the need to address:

• I've noticed that my weight has often been a topic of discussion throughout my diaries, journals, blogging. A lot of my old diary entries ended with the random statement of being "so fucking fat" and oddly enough I would whine about how AWESOMESUPERSTELLARFLAWLESS my life would be if I was skinny. Well, although I am still not glad that I am over the weightz, I am obscenely comfortable in my skin... I don't really know when or how this happened. Occasionally I relapse and place the blame for my pitfalls on my weight, but really that's only when I'm distraught over lack of boyfriend.
  
  Oh yeah. Still lack of boyfriend. Fail.
  
  I am failing evolutionarily.
  
• I almost want to impart to you (whoever you are) the shit show that is my life in terms of finances. But the more I think about it, the less keen I am on putting that bullshit in this blog. So suffice it to say I'm fucked, and let's not worry about it.
  
• Let's talk friendships. There are a LOT of new ones this year. Ya know, it's college. And it appears that somewhere along the line I also became pretty deece at making friends. Kudos, me! So, time for a friend check:
  
  I am currently doing pretty well keeping in touch with Farah, Kim, Sami, Michelle, Liz, Sarah, Robin, Kirsten. Those are the key players but I also have been keeping in moderate touch with a lot of other people, thanks to the miracle/burden of Facebook. I have a new bestfriend here at college named Kelsey. I am pretty good friends with Jacob except that we sort of fight a lot, and I'm too emotional for him to know what's going on half the time. Ha. Then there's Julia who really I adore, if only for her appreciation of The Counting Crows. There is Nicole, who shares some pretty fab similar interests and is just... in general a great person. I can tell. There's Cara, an extremely witty, videogaming, crossword-mastering girl who I also adore and who loves to play Infamous with me on my PS3. I cannot forget to mention Jonah, because I LOVE Jonah! He is just probably the nicest guy I've ever met. Honestly. He's such a great addition to our home sweet home Butterfield (the dorm I live in, which is orgasmic and has wireless which allows me to pull these horrifically unhealthy all-nighters in the hallway, where I cannot disturb my roomie). Phil deserves a nod because he's funny as hell, and is the host for most all the partying we do here in the Butt. There are so many more people I could mention, but like I said I DO have a paper to write, that isn't a blog. The rest of the new people are a mix of really annoying individuals who I tolerate pretty well and who Kelsey cannot stand and other awesome individuals that I love but do not predominantly hang out with so I did not mention them specifically. Oh wait, should mention the new guy, H.
  
  ...it definitely looks weird and ominous and almost as if I made someone up who goes by the entitlement "H". But actually his name is Hussein and his middle and last name also begin with the letter "H", so it makes sense...
  
  Anyways, he deserves mentioning because A) he is one of the few guys that Jacob has managed to trick into being friends with him, B) he is rooming with Jacob next year (which means I'll most likely still know him next year), C) He's around ALL the TIME now - he's the new Jacob in many ways, although there are certainly differences, and D) I saw his blog and that's what made me look up this old one of mine and update it. So if I don't finish my paper and all my Italian homework, I can blame him.

Ah christ. I think that is all I wish to talk of at the moment.

I'd say I'll write again soon, but it'd probably be a lie. So I will just say...
