=^)



So its been a long time, I know. I'm lazy, exhausted and yea. It's certainly been a week. Campis goign good, now that I can manage to stay awake for a full 16 hour day, and despite the random joint pain and aching ankles that I seem to be cursed with, all is well. This weekend was awesome, Troy's birthday on friday, when 35 of us crowded into Applebee's and into Spiderman II, then off to the playground where I basically sat in Nick's car, and then another trip to Sweet Hollow rd, which I slept through. By the way:HAPPY BIRTHDAY TROY!...And then July 4th was awesome! Chharles through a BBQ, with a little help from Carly et moi, and so we all hosted on Charles porch for Moshe Mike Lauren Troy and Phil. Which was nice, and small, and filled with movies and memories. We all ( and by "all" I mean like 50 kids, ended up at Peck Park, where Nick Rob and Rich begin a firework show. By the end of the night, everyone was setting them off; even me, who is afraid of fire lit a few. ,And except for the idoits (yes, you) who shot a rocket WAAAY to close to Carly and I, it was amazing fun. Sorry I had to cut it short, but work = obligation. Anyway I had a good time with Carly Charles Moshe Deniz Troy Leslie Marty Steven Nick Rob Rich Greg Marisa Vadeem Andrew Shiffman Phil and Mike, just to name a few. Then tonight I had a date, it was cute and we giggled and ate ice cream on the beach and made out in the car like it was just begining. And we kissed goodnight and my doorstep and smiled all the way home. This week entails dessert with Marisa, maybe Roula, Vadeem and Steven, followed by an evening with Jess, than rafting with Charles. Oh, the craziness.

Jump, shake your booty..


Havn't updated in sooo long. Lately, aside from dfew notable exceptions, evertthing seems to have fallen into place. Camp is ok, has its ups and downs. the 8-yr old girls i'm working with are so adorable, and the couselors in my group camp exh are really great. Except that camp exhausts me. Like, comepletely. I don't even have energy to talk on the phone afterwars. Carly an dI just come home, nap, eat, and lay around wiating for our muscles to get less sore. But at least I'm out and active. Tomorrow is my Mom's birthday. Happy Birthday Mommy!!Other news - waterpark on monday was a lot of fun, despite the constant argueing and getting beaten up by the rides. Friday is Troy's birthday, celebrating with him by going to see spiderman2 and whatnot. Don't know about the weekend. Jon - I hate plaing phone tag with you!! I will try my hardest to call and talk for a while sometime this weekend. Dave - I'm no back-up!! I'm very insulted!! and now I don't want to call you. much love to all.

Worries..


I am in this midsummer funk, where all I do is worry and get angry and bitchy. Sorry if I snap at you. The job I took fo rthe summer seems less and less ideal, and instead of being excited I'm getting a sinking feeling i my stomach thinking about it. I also doubt that I am goign to make as much $ this summer as expected, which means more bills, and definately a second job at Tulane. Which birngs me to teh next big set of worries. Now that I've decided on an English and Communications major, a bit too late, I am not taking any classes in those feilds, at all this semester. Which means I'm pretty royally fucked. In terms of study abroad, and choices of classes and other stupid bullshit I'm not equipped to think about. I don't have housing, and if I do, it will be in a dorm i do not wish to live in, which means I'm either stuck there, or have to move half-way through the semester. Either way suckage, major suckage ensues. Finally, I spent freshman year doing NO activites. Which mean I have to beef up my extracurricular resume like.. NOW. Grr. And double Grr. Finally, to add to all this, I don;t even know for sure I am going there, seeing as I have not yet received my financial aid status. And my entire family has been lectureing me and giving me bs becuase Carly is going there now too, which means EVERYONE has been saying how stupid I am to do this and so on...The only positive thing I have to say now is that I have a great family, great relationship and great friends. I know that even through all this bs stress, I can count on everyone's support and distractions..

He was an excellent friend and led a truly wonderful life, and I will never forget him.

Yes, I said boating accident.


The events of late have been quite amusing. Sunday, Charles and I decided to go to a sporting goods store. $159 dollars later, we had in our possesion one (1) inflatable raft, with oars, and one (1) bbq charchoal grill. Brilliant people we are, we decided to take the boat of a test run. In Little Neck Bay, famous for the clams. So we go. And spend an hour inflating the thing, notbeing able to find all the holes.. and finding a sport to launch. The second we get into the water (read mud) we hear a small pop and see massive bubbles floating to the surface. The boat is taking on water!! And we're flipping out and pushing each other into the mud, scrambling to shore... To make a long store short, we ended up gross and muddy, with a defective raft. Unfotunalty, My cell phone was among the passengers of theat fateful inagural run of the CMS Raft, and thus forth I cannot make phone calls until I canget the stupid machine to work. For those of you that have her #, reach me on Carly's cell.

Liz - I finally watched Hedwig and Angry Itch. I liked :)

Yesterday, on the first day of Restaurant Week (which means 20 bucks for a pirx fixe lunch at NYC's best retaurants), so Carly Lauren Daniel and I head int othe city for Lunch at the Tribeca Grill (owned by RObert DeNiro and some other randoms), which was quite good. We walked tro th Hudson and then played ping pong at a park, before we decided to head home. Carly Lauren and I sat in Carly's house where we ate a makeshift dinner, and then at Lauren's house, where we looked through all her old stuff (read childhood memories, and high school memories). Afterwards, we met up with Moshe, Troy, Marty, Leslie, Deniz, Phil and Tanya and played in a playground.

Adios.

=^)


I had a amazing time celebrating a year. We went to Tavern on the Green and the took a horse carriage ride through the park friday night. It was wonderful, romantic and happy, like a dream. Love. Saturday was orientation at camp , and it was short and boring. But I'm getting excited to be a counselor and help shape the lives of kids. Plus, having fun things to do every day would be nice. After orientation, Carly and I were going to go picnic, but instead ended up doing absolutely nothing. We met up with Charles afterwards and we drove out to meet Laila and spend some time in her town, way out in Bellport. On the way home, Charles Carly and I had a wonderful discussion on philosophy, religion and humanity. I discovered a lot about my own beliefs, and will discuss that perhaps at a later date. This week is the last one before work, trying to fit in a lot of stuff. Miss you, love you Tulane-ians.

if i scream real loud, will you hear me all the way down south?



I had a really awesome day hanging out with everyone - Carly Moshe Tanya Shiffman Marty Leslie Deniz Phil Troy Steve and even Charles and Laila for a little while. I forgot how much fun i have with that crew, and it's been a loong time since I've seen them. Hopefully now that tests are over and school is done, it can occur more frequently. This week has really been nothing eventful. Monday went to Roosevelt Field with Carly and Charles, and then Tuesday hung out with Carly in the am and then met relatives for dinner. I was really excited to go to Splish Splash (a waterpark) tomorrow, but I imagine tht's been postposed, and trying to make alternate plans has been the most exasperating, stressful thing I've done this summer. Everything else is good. I finally got an email from the only person with whom I actually have an established correspondance. I have awesome friends and am getting along well with mom. My car is pretty, and my Carly is smart and special and congradulations. This friday is a year, next friday is graduation!Only two more weeks for freedon until camp starts, ew, but hopefully I'll enjoy it? Much love, cookies and homemade whipped cream for all.

Complications, and losing my kite virgnity...


spieked1 (9:43:36 PM): ur a kite virgin?Muse of Random (9:43:36 PM): lol Muse of Random (9:43:39 PM): yes.Muse of Random (9:43:53 PM): charles took it :-(spieked1 (9:43:42 PM): mazal tov lol... and aside from doing laundry with Carly, that pretty much sums up my day. I think I'm sick, sort of. Hm, since I've last posted, I went to see Raising Helen, which was godawful, with Carly, Charles, Lauren and Gerald. Then, we dropped off Lauren and Gerald and picked up Xiao and Daniel and drove to get fondue in the city, then random Greek food in Astoria. Yesterday I did absolutely nothing with Carly, hmm that seems to be the trend. Excited for the rest of the week. ... Tomorrow heading to the beach with Carly and Jess and Dan, where we will play with toys and get tanned and swim in the lovely pool. Then Thursday is the Francis Lewis Prom, which obviously means that we go out with Ashlee and Billie and fuck around in Chinatown and at CBGB's, a Comedy Club, and who know what the fuck after. Saturday hopefully a bbq at Charles' house, followed by clubbing. No, I don't sleep a wink. Working at a camp starting June 29th. Signed my life away this am. Jappy Jappy girls, come, make me your bitch, so if im lucky, at the end I'll be $2000 richer, but not really, cause there's insurance to pay and living expenses and blahdittyblahblah. Still missing Tulane. Y'all are crazy and great, and immensely loved from way up here.

So ...


So I think maybe it's time for an update. This week has been good. Sunday went to street fair in Forest Hills. Ate Charles' food and just walked around. Ate Asian food :) and played air hockey and went for coffee. I missed Witches Brew, and the evening had a very nice dynamic. Monday and Tuedsay went driving around looking for applications and jobs and hung out with Carly. It was nice. Wednesday I saw Tini, resolved leftover things with her and discussed everything. I love my sis. We saw Shrek2 (my second time) and had ice cream. Then saw Carly again and worked out stuff with her relationship-wise. Thursday Lauren and I went to the Cloisters and looked at Medieval Art which was so pretty in a medieval castle. The area up there is beautiful, parks and gardens and all the couples this summer will journey up there for a picnic. Then Laurena nd I took a 3 hour bus/train trip home. Argh MTA! We met Charles and Carly and went to dinner and drove out to Merrik to pee, and came back for coffee and doughnuts. Friday Carly and I did laundry together (aw.) and then cooked dinner and went to Moshe's house. Troy, Deniz, Carly and I went to Coldstone. Then got back with Leslie and Moshe, and we talked and planned and then Moshe came home and Shiffman came over and we all spent eons talking about what to do.. We ended up going to Flamingo, but Carly and I went to Fontana cause we didn't like the food. We ran into Lauren( who looked all pretty in her dress) and the ROTC millitary ball crew and said hi, then Steven, Ashlee and Billie showed up and we chilled with them, gossiping and just catching up. Tonight going to Carly's for a house party since her mom left for the weekend. Should be fun. :) I got the job at a summer camp, don't think I want it, have another interview Tues and might get a job at a differant camp. I hate searching for a job. No college update, nothing of any substance to report as well. Call me Tulane people.

I LOVE MUSI...

I LOVE MUSICAL THEATER!!Jon, comment to me all the songs you sang for your preformace. I downloaded "Barcelona" :)Otehrwise, I <3 my friends. I want to go to Europe!!And be in a musical. and learn to sing.

Life, in a nutshell.


Been sort of out of touch with everyone. Life consists mainly of seeing Carly and Charles and Lauren. Which is nice, becuase I love them. Otherwise, it's endless job searching, debating over my future and lots of spectating - Saw 138741 movies, inclusing Shrek 2, which was cute, and went to see Fiddler on the ROof on Broadway - which was wonderful, made me laugh cry and all that stuff a good play should. Tonight I'm going out with Debby for dinner to celebrate her brithday,and then seeing The Who. Carly and Charles finally worked things out and there is, at last peace within out little group. Tini and I, as far as I know are fine, and now we can all road trip to Canada and VA together,and to Charles' house upstate again. :) The five of us will have a lot of fun. Otherwise, my mom and I are allotting one day a weekend to see a play, or go to a museun, or some sort of site in a Take-Advantage-Of-The-Last-Summer-In-NY campaign. I've been spending a lot of time with Carly, who I love very much, and with my mechanic, whom I could do without. I know I've been a terrible friend to Tulane people. Please don't take my l ack of communication as a lack of caring. I've been all kinds of crazy busy, and , as hard to believe as it is, I haven't actually been able to spend time on the phone. When things quiet down and I have a steady scheduale, I will def. call and catch up. Much love to you guys, and believe me, I'm fighting and debating like crazy over the merits of Tualne.

Improvement



:) So I have finally taken care of everything car-wise. Jess was supposed to come to the mechanic with me as per tradition, but she didn't answer her phone and consequently, I was late and thus, avoided the mechanic and spent the day with Lauren and Charles running errands and job searching and talking about toys and games from childhood... does everyone remember Littlest Pet Shop, Polly Pocket, Cupcake kids, My Little Pony, Puppy Surprise or Playground Kids? I mean, aside from Lego, those were the best things ever!Anyway, so today Charles and I finished all my car stuff, which means we went to the mechanic, walked 60 blocks to and from the dmv, had subway and sat and talked for hours. Yawn. So sleepy... I keep waking up at all sorts of odd hours. Tomorrow I'm heading to to the beach and then to pick Carly up (yay she's home for the summer! Happy toy, btw). Thursday is mor ejob hunting at the mall w/Carly and maybe Lauren, and then Friday I'm seeing Fiddler on the Roof and Saturday- The Who. Should be fun. I<3 summer, and home. UNC is looking better - as they are giving me a laptop and financing all but $@000 of my education. I just hope Carly gets to go as well.

grr


Been home for about a week now. Funny how things change. I won't go into detail on here but I really, really, will never know where I belong. Living at home with things like curfews, errands, being told what to do and when, guilted into spending time with my mom, I feel like I've outgrown all this stuff. And then, the reasons why I'm out -iivit sittingin a basement watching TV and/or playing video games, conversations I am excluded from, real insults and arguements over music, driving around like there's nothing to do, people who won't go clubbing or danceing... no shared joy over real food but instead arguements and stress over where and what to eat. But oh, people who know exactly who I am and love me for it. Every shinning flaw, every stupid remark. Nostalgia. Home. History. Routines I was once familiar with. My car, my beautiful wonderful car. Groups of teenage boys who do stupid shit and laugh at it. My Carly. The 5 or so people who I've spent high school growing up with, who really shaped who I am. No feeling left out. No..I'm tired of all these useless comparisons. I'm tired of not knowing where I want to be, or with whom. I'm tired of not knowing what will happen to me afte rthe next three months. Need a job, a new hope, and EVERYONE to quit nagging me.

home...


Home.. home again... So happy to be home.. where I belong.. and my friends and family, my house my bed... Looking forward to awesome times and awesome people and pure fun, freedom and frienship. So why is there a big Tulane-shaped hole in my heart??

...and so it begins...


You knowe you absolutly rock when its 4am, with a full moon, a day before the first wave of finals, and you've upstairs watching a movie when you realize, "Oh shit!! It's tiiimee" So you run outside, grabing the two worst test grades you've gotten all year, a bunch of your closest friends and thier grades, and commence to make a scarifice. Thats' right. God's of Partial Credit, hear our prayers, see our lovely pile of ash and reign down your magic. We made an alter and sang hyms, gave our grades the finger simultameously, and annointed outselves with "A"'s on our foreheads all sacreligiohusly. We are the coolest, and most favored finals takers, hands down. I will make sweet sweet love to these exams, and in return, I expect a beautiful orgasm of A's splashing onto my transcript. Bring 'em on, bitch!

Gulf Shores.. :)



Dear Jon, Liz, Dave and JD - Thank you for a wonderful weekend. Seriously. When we first started out I was kind of in a bad mood, everyone seemed to be in a funk. But things got so much better, it was seriously amazing, when we all started singing. And the tensions, and ice broke, and it was pure fun from then on. I'm glad you all know so much about agriculture: peanut farms, corn feilds, pecan orchards and flood plains were so neat to see. And of course, white supremist cows made me laugh. I wish we could have seen the gators though. Dinner at all you can eat was an excellent idea, even if Mobile looked a tad sketchy. But the real fun started when we got there. The hotel room was nice, very nice for our money. The balcony was useful entirely. And the shower - goddamn that shower was so big. I mean, not only did it fit all of us (better than jon's bathing suit), but had room to spare. Looks like we, once again, couldn't see the "how close is too close?" line. Especially Jon. :) Drinking was crazy, we went through so much shit but it felt soo good. Despite the card everywhere, and the massive bicep aches in the morning, drunken BS was funny, and drunken swimming, funnier. JD actually successfully drink dialed too, which was nice. Sorry the water was too cold. But Jon, you do blow penis better than us all. Saturday was also amazing. Despite Jon's bathing suit mishaps, and Jon and JD running to lunch w/out Liz Dave and I, it was an excellent morning. I especially loved the sandcastle wars; I have never built such awesome sand structures. You boys though.. you learn your diplomacy from Bush... We should have been allies. Even though Dave and I did have the better castle. Fort Phallus and the Boobies did suffer noble deaths at the hands of thier creators. Swimming... man I haven't swam in the ocean in a long time.. and I was actually in the water NEXT TO MEXICO! =^)Despite you boys and your silly little magic carding, Liz and I had a good talk, a good walk and just geenrally good bonding. I love you; thanks for understanding. I can always count on a good heart to heart, intellectual, conversation. Swimming, where I accidently tossed that football into... Jon and his boys.. well, it was funny but an accident. Sorry again! Even through the food wasn;t great, our pseudo-intellectual dinner conversations on patriotism were good. I' m glad we have such diverse opinions within our little group. Then, off to Mini-Golf. It took me a while to get into my rhythm, but once there, we were all pretty damn close and good at the game. The course was bad-ass, and the competition was fierce. Highlights were Jon's bad chi, hole-in-one spanks, JD going a little to the left, Sexual orientation determind by ball path, Dave and the shorter stick and of course, all the good natured, mostly sexual, competitive banter that we all share. I love and will deeply miss that dynamic. Oops. It was such a mistake to go back to that hotel room, and truely see how lobster like we all were. From Jon's penis to JD's back, my back and legs, the three of us were entirely out of commission. Thankst to Liz and Dave for the Coco Butter and excellent "service." Again, tetsimony to how close we all are, that I sat around inmy underwear , checking out the asses on so many girls on that stupid show we were too lazy to trun off. Bigger shirts = better. Jon and JD, I hope you enjoyed your pseudo orgasms from Dave.."Ohh yea, that feels soooo good.. fuck me.. fuck me.. ... a little closer.. more.. yes.. OOOOHHH.. That was better than sex!" Too many church goers, three cracker barrels later, eating fast food from three differant hplaces and stepping in the Mississippi crud was the entireity of the trip back. And the Tchacacabuffta, or whatever. I vote for clicks added to our language. Singing Disney songs, hard rock, and the Oompa Loompa song.. JD and Liz both made excellent DJ's. In conclusion, thanks for a wonderful end to the semester, a view of three southern states, my frist college road trip, and a weekend I'll never forget. Marissa

failure..


You know that moment that comes when you relaize that you are a total failure with no future.. Yea. Moving to a differant state, fucking up my grades, not having a summer job: these things don't help. Constant flows of criticism from every concievable angle - Carly, family, myself. I wish I could curl up and disappear.What happened to the happy girl with all the potential in the world? What happened to beleiving in one's self?

sabato 23 giugno 2007

Hello, t...

Hello, this is Carly updating to tell you that unfortunately Marissa's hard-drive crashed so, obviously, she won't be able online or able to update for a little while. :(

martedì 19 giugno 2007

oh these crazy times...



Good people, good times, good talks. Spending a lot of time ( in between studying of course( just going around discussing various experiences and views, past, present and future.. 20 questions turns into shared reminissance, story telling and memory building. Advice, childhood terrors, sexual experiences: there are no secrets. And it's good. I've never felt so comepletly known by a group of people. Ever. Things no one ever asks, I know about these people. Dave, Liz, Rachel, Mars.. tonight was all about that. Love flows around in our group and I seriously.. don't know what I'm going to do without them. It's also always nice to know you're appreciated by those you aren't even close to. Thanks for caring, for asking, for making me feel appreciated. I have a good thing here.. Finally, excitement builds... Jon traveled home this weekend to obtain his car.. So excited to go off to Gulf Shores (beach in Alabama) for the weekend. Hotels, too much alcohol, sun, frisbee and craziness. Last Hurrah. Should be great. They say you're college friends are the ones you're closest to... if it continues on this path, in four years... there are no secrets now. So I wonder...And of course, 4 hectic, hellish days of finals immediately following. But then.. never to fund raise again! and come HOME in 19 days for three whole months!!G'night all.

"The time has come," the walrus said, "to talk of many things."

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME DECIDE FOR I AM UNABLE TO MYSELF!!!

begging for eyes to bear witness...


Today is Holocaust Rememberance Day. You shoudl all take a minute to think and honor the lives of all 11 million victims of torture and cruelty which came as a result of conformity, and fear. These 11 million people were those that were considered deviant from society, not perfect, and for that, mothers, daughters, wives, brothers, sons, husbands, lovers, actors, engineers, musicians, children, grandparents, neighbors... ect. died. Denied the basic things we all take for granted today: cleanliness, food, space, water, the beauty of grass and sky, they perished in conditions more deliberatly inhumane than any other era in history. Mechanically, systematically gassed and burned by a hierarchy that functions solely to decimate, destroy, exterminate people. But this wasn't just a faceless enemy. Medical experments of twins, homosexuals, cripples were cruelly posed to see how much pain the human body could take, how much pressure could build up before one would explode, and many other horrific events. Psychological experments include family members chooseing which relatives to save, and which to kill, mothers forced to kill thier own babies in order to save themselves and others, fathers starving themselves so thier sons could have the smallest chance at survival. I'm not listing thes ethings to make you sad, or sick, the way I feel now, but rather to stress the importance of standing up for your own beliefs. Hundreds of rightous people not persecuted themselves risked death to save the comndemmed, many martyrs stood up in the Ghetto uprisings to make the statement that they will not willingly die. Lives were ricked to send information to the outside world. We can't forget the horror, nor the bravery. Never forget: it was humans juts like you and I that allowed this tragedy, this travesty, this blatent dehumanization to occur, yet it was also people: strong, brave, and moral, that saved the souls of humanity. Never forget.

Just an update



Good week. Less homework, study, more fun, leisure. This weekend has been good. Friday night was ok, we watched a movie, and I resisted tempation and was quite proud of myself. Then Saturday, we all got dressed up and went to see Jon's musical theater preformance, which was AMAZING. We have a lot of really talented singers here. We then went to a japaneese steakhouse for dinner, a brilliant change from bruff food. We sang Disney and classic songs the whole way there and waiting for the streetcar on the way back. :) Today I worked and studied and such. I love the sun. Find out about Miami tom. The future is as hazy as the winter sky.

Don't dream it's over..



I had an amzing week at home. AMAZING.Passover, cleaning, cooking, running errands, Max's BIG surprise, circus, laser tag, monopoly, mini golf, riding in cars, driving, rap music, cranium, movies, be back in an hour - make that 3, wrestling, crazy taxi, birthdays, new names for old directions, 9 1/2 hours late, picnics on the beach, shopping, new clothes, mall parking lots, matzah, laughter, tears, kisses in the rain, sneaking to bedrooms, subways, job hunting, meaningful conversations, driving in circles, frustration, "Sounds of Silence/Music", movie credits that end too soon, telephone conversations from mid-miami, dancing, showertime, smiles, insults, coloring books, make-up, arguements, group dynamics, planning, analyzing, singing, love all around......and now I have to go back and face another month of hating who I am, more stress than any living being should be under, and being 1300 miles away from the people, person I call home.
