mt. freepizza.

hello.
it feels like it has been a while since i posted on here.
it still hasnt snowed. i am happy for that. alison went home today and i got to spend all kinds of time with her and her family while she was here. i love alisons family. they kinda feel like they are mine too. hanging out with her niece and nephew makes me a little jealous. i want some of my own. my cousins need to hurry up and make some babies.
i feel like i am going to have to wait forever because i am the oldest.
ho hum.
so today was a pretty crappy day.
except for the pizza.
crappy things seem to keep happening to people that i love.
im not sure whats going on in the universe im just grateful its currently leaving me alone.
today when john and i went to brunch the rotary club was doing a fundraiser for polio. it was called the pizza bowl. you paid $7 to get in and you could eat all the pizza you wanted. there were all kinds of booths and i was pretty excited to see that only 2 of them were corperate crap boxes. it was mostly local smaller pizza places.
so while john and i ate our kinda crappy cafeteria food we both kinda had the same idea that we need to find out where all the left over pizza was going because we both knew there was no way those people were going to tote it back to their stores.
so at 2:15 john and i walked over to the back side of the cafeteria and checked the dumpster.
it was almost completely empty. there wasnt even one box.
so we went around and went right in the front door. people were carrying all kinds of heat lamps and things out. well, i get in there and immediately scout a table full of pizza. i walked up to it and started poking the boxes.
they were all full of pizza!
it was mt. freepizza.
so i start asking around what they are going to do with the left over pizza and one guy is like i think they are going to donate it to the soup kitchen but you should ask that woman over there because i think she is in charge of it.
so i go ask the lady.
hey so uh what are you going to do with all that pizza?
and shes like oh they are for sale if you want to buy some.
is she friggin kidding me? its like this insane pile of all different kinds of pizzas from all kinds of pizza places and noone that wasnt a vender is even around. who does she think is going to buy them? so im like
um so what if no one buys them? then what are you going to do with them? are you going to donate them to the soup kitchen or something?
and shes all ya we are going to bring over everything we dont sell.
then this other lady thats listening says something...
i dont even remeber what now...
i end up following her over to another pile of pizza boxes in the other corner of the room.
she gives me this pizza box full of pizza and is like we cant give these to the soup kitchen because there a bunch of different kinds in one box so they wont take it.
sweet.
then she points at john and asked me if we were together.
i tell her no in a sarcastic tone and she gives him a full pizza box of his own.
it was pretty rad. we ended up with a little more than 2 huge pizzas from ricettas in a pretty varied selection of toppings.
what do 2 kids do with so much pizza?
we brought it to the lobby of our dorm and ate a bunch and offered it to the kids that were hanging around.
later in the day i ended up throwing the last half a pizza away. it was one that had spinach, feta and sausage on it. it was kinda scary looking.
so um... i should be doing homework. i already did all kinds but i still have all kinds. maybe next time i post i will share some of my ideas i have for my metalworking class.

loves.
ames.

begining of a new chapter.

obama was sworn in today. i had class and so i was only able to watch some of the inauguration speech in the cafeteria between classes but what i did see was really inspiring. hopefully my internet will be turned on in my room soon so i can watch the whole thing. i am really hopeful that he is going to be able to bring about some much needed change. i typically dont give much of a shit about politics but i am really really glad to see bush leaving the whitehouse.
so i have decided that school isnt that bad after all. i have made a couple of really awesome friends and that has made life better. there isnt a lot to do around here but somehow it feels a little less boring having other people to sit around being bored with. i like making new friends.
speaking of friends. alison is coming to maine in a couple of days for a couple of days. her grandmother died so she will be flying home for the funeral. i am sad for her and her family but i am excited that i get to spend a couple days with her. the timing is really nice too because she is coming on thursday and staying until sunday.
lets just hope it doesnt snow.
that would be nice.

ima sleep now.
loves.

snow wonder i hate winter.

i spent the weekend in bangor with my favorite boy in the whole world. i had to come home early this morning to plow stupid snow. we had a friggin blizzard.
literally.
we got about a foot of snow.
people are fucking retarded too. i dont understand why there were so many people out on the roads. it was snowing like a bastard and cars we stuck and off the road everywhere it was ridiculous. at one point i was driving down to one of my properties in yarmouth and there were 8 vehicles off the road between the freeport exit and the yarmouth exit.
its only like 3 miles.
i cant even tell you how many cars i saw stuck in the entrances to parking lots... you know how when the city plow goes by they leave a big snow bank? ya well when you get a foot of snow that snow bank is like 3 feet deep. and for some reason people in little crap cars seem to think that they can just plow through it. i feel a little bad driving around those people but seriously they should have just stayed home. and if i were to stop and help everyone that i saw stuck today i would have never gotten any plowing done.
um ya. anyway so i drove home from bangor, plowed some snow, took a shower, and now i am lounging in my bed getting ready to go to bed early. i have to go back out to replow my properties at 5.
ugh.
i cant complain too much. i need the money pretty bad. im broke and my finacial aid crap is all screwed up...
i took a picture of my dorm room finally. its not a very good picture because i am back to having to use my crap broken camera...


i will post better pictures eventually. for now i am going to watch an episode of its always sunny in philidelphia and go to bed.

loves.
ames.

6,000,000,000,000. is that 6 trillion or do i need more zeros?

any guesses what i am supposed to be doing right now?
trigonometry homework.
yep. im already slacking.
anyway... what i am really here to announce is that i
drum roll please
got my own room!
all alone.
by myself.
just me.
and stuffy.
and other guests that i might invite over.
and one suite mate to share the bathroom with.
not two.
holy crap.
life just got 6 trillion times better.

loves.
ames.

now what am i supposed to do to entertain myself?

so im here.
ta da.
im up on my bunk trying to convince myself that this isnt going to be awful. i have my first class tomorrow and i am pretty excited. i hope that my classes are fun. i need to figure out how my online class works. i need to buy my books too. i have a couple of them but i havent gotten either of my science ones yet and they are going to be crazy expensive. i am going to look into getting them online tomorrow. im a little late for that but if i can make it work i will save a lot of money.
i am ridiculously hungry right now.
i got used to eating a little later at my moms and tonight i went to the dining hall at like 5 so now i feel like i am starving to death. the good news is that there is coffee in the dining hall. yay for coffee. i am going to need to get some snacks to stash in my room. i wish i had brought some cookies from the house with me.
mmm. cookies.
actually when i went to the doctors this morning they weighed me and it made me acutely aware of how fat i have gotten. its probably good that i dont have any cookies.
i guess i am going to entertain my brain with some more greys anatomy now.

loves.
ames.

mo00o.

so i am still being a slacker about my pictures i took last weekend. i have decided to share a couple of my favorites...
baby bert is the cutest ever.
i love his whiskers. why do whiskers have to be so damn cute?


he is making a really silly face in this one.


so um ya. i move into my dorm tomorrow. i went today after i got done plowing and filled out my paper work and got my new student id card and all that crap. i am eager to start my classes but scared of living in the dorm. i hope that it isnt as bad in real life as it is in my imagination.
i have to sleep on bunk beds.
and i have to sleep on the top.
my stuffy is going to fall off the bed.
he is not going to like that very much.

i am going to go to bed now.

loves.
ames.

tmi

so i have some pictures that i took a few days ago. i still havent uploaded them from my camera to my computer.
partly because i am lazy,
partly because i keep forgetting about it,
partly because i spent most of 2 days reading,
and partly because i spent half of the day yesterday at the hospital.
i apparently had a cyst on my bartholins gland that had become infected.
or abscess.
or whatever.
basically on the first day i noticed something wasnt quite right.
the second day i was uncomfortable and laid on the couch and distracted myself with a book.
the third day i was crying and couldnt take it anymore.
then i went to the hospital.
then i hung out in a johnny for 4 hours.
then a very friendly ob/gyn gave me a shot of anesthetic.
then she cut it open and drained it.
then she put in a semi-permanent drain thing that can stay in for up to 4 weeks.
thats right i said 4 weeks.
and then i went home.
and now i am on a steady diet of antibiotics and plain yogurt.
and i am not allowed to use tampons or have sex.
ever again.
um sooo... thats enough about that. i am going to go eat a fudgsicle and read my book.

loves.
ames.
