NEW YEAR= NEW IDEAS

2010-02-03T09:16:00.000-08:00

I'm almost 25 years old (in just a few days!). in my mind 25 is when things need to change, time to grow up. I'm not gonna update this blog on the past few months, there is no need when things are going well now and i want to move forward not backwards. but since i am big on memories i will fill in the blanks as i move along.

i want this year to be a productive one. been doing the same thing for 3 years, so now is as good a time as any to get started on getting myself where i want to be. just have to find out where that is...

when i was younger i never took those projects seriously in school of, 'what will your life be like when you're 25-30 or however old'. my answers were always something along the lines of be happy, married and have kids, and have a good job. even when i was little i knew not to specify one job for myself. never knew what i wanted to do, and i still don't. as for the kids...i wouldn't even know what to do with them. its not cool to bring your kids to the bar, right? so ill just say, I'm right where i should be, sort of. if i compare myself to other kids, er, adults my age i may not be as successful but i am happy with where I'm going. and i personally don't think success is determined by the ring on their finger and the babies they popped out. I'm getting my own personal success before i go for everyone else's idea of success.

and here i go.

my harddrive has all my photos from rome on it, but they are only numbered so i picked random ones to see what would come up and heres some that i got.
ashwin in greece for springbreak. me and leah found this cliff thingy and loved it. it was right on the medditeranean. we would come here and take naps during the week we stayed here.
more modern life is war. pretty sure he was confused when i spoke to him in english
after a night in a bar where the bartender let us stay after closing with a bottle of vodka playing 'never have i ever' lots of secrets came out that night. hialrious.
i dont really remember where this is, but it looks pretty. maybe on the way to ischia?
modern life is war played a show in rome and it was one of the first times i felt really at home. hardcore kids are the same in different countries, very nice to be a part of when youre feeling like nothings really 'you'

here i go again on my own

2009-04-24T22:05:00.000-07:00

after almost 3 weeks of staying at jims, here i am again on my own. im living with caitlin in a pretty sweet place. it already feels so much more like a home then anywhere ive lived in awhile. and this is the biggest bedroom ive ever had. maybe its time for a big kid bed. unless i can get a racecar bed. or if they make big kid racecar beds, id be set. and again i have to say the amount of concern and interest other people have put into my situation still makes me want to hug everyone. i guess i never realize how much people do actually care. everyone really is around for a reason.

im excited for summer. im curious to see what it will bring me this year. maybe another mugging! one can only...hope, but not really.

look at how freakin cute my dog is

use somebody

2009-03-31T19:48:00.000-07:00

of all places to be posting this, i never thought it would be at my parents house. but the internet here is about the only thing keeping sane for now since my phone seems to fall into a black hole here at home. the battery dies in like 2 seconds. i didnt really plan on living here again. i guess im not so much living here again, but just kind of squatting for a few weeks. and spending some time at friends houses as well. i am still so amazed, and so thankful for the people around me. i get screwed over by one 'friend' and i cant even count how many other people opened their doors to me. its pretty awesome.

my friends have been looking out for me. we moved my stuff out and into jims basement. then my family came for the rest. everythings been going pretty ok. so of course im waiting for the bad part now....

these next few weeks will be interesting. antonio offered to help make my cardboard box home. hes been waiting for this moment for awhile now. he says hes been collecting the boxes for me. talk about a real friend! living out of my schoolbag again will be stressful. but when its all over with, it will be ok.

i cant stop listening to maroon 5. daves with me on this. and i shouldnt post it here, but im not embarrassed anymore!

after hanging out with someone new these past few weeks it made me realize that things i think are normal to me and my friends, are not normal at all. like me being a girl and drinking jameson on the rocks at the bar. i never thought anything of it, but i never thought i drink like a dude because thats all i hangout with .

and thanks to chris buretta for saying 'its like every day is your first day on earth' because people seem to find that, that fits me perfectly.

this time next year, or...

2009-03-12T20:35:00.000-07:00

i want this, and i want to live in california. i think i can make it happen.

every single one of these pictures is worth more than a thousand words. who thought a little hole in the wall could mean so much to so many people. so many good times. too many memories.

2009-02-28T10:00:00.000-08:00

But the lows are so extreme
That the good seems fuckin cheap
And it teases you for weeks in its absence
But you'll fight and you'll make it through
You'll fake it if you have to
And you'll show up for work with a smile
You'll be better
And You'll be smarter
And More grown up and a better daughter or son
And a real good friend
And you'll be awake
You'll be alert
You'll be positive though it hurts
And you'll laugh and embrace all your friends
And you'll be a real good listener
You'll be honest
You'll be brave
You'll be handsome and you'll be beautiful
You'll be happy

adele!

last night i was here...
its pretty awesome to think we can drive from one major US city to another in only a couple hours. i hungout with alexia, she said she was gonna take pictures. she took one and deleted it. i stayed in her house with her so she could walk the dog before we went out. we caught up on everything since we rarely see eachother. and i cant even remember the last time i was up in queens to see her. seeing her house made me excited to move into a new place and make it more homey. she did well with hers, its very comfortable. its nice you can tell an adult lives there. anyway, we went to a couple bars, the first one had waaaay too many people in it, but the music was fun, old school hip hop stuff. we had a good group of people with us, some i havent seen in awhile. and a few other girls that live in new york too. we took a bus home today and here i am, back in philadelphia in time to do this and go to work. like i never even left the state for the night. its more fun when you look at it that way.

i used to see this everyday, and it was amazing everytime.

joy to the world

2009-02-10T19:42:00.000-08:00

i feel like i give advice to people alot, and most of the time its good. but i never take it for myself. i rarely look at my own situations from the outside.

i thought this was a good idea....and after doing it, it was still a good idea

someone once said to me 'you love being in love' and although i cant argue that, i would say i get more excited about the idea of it. because what i would like it to be, or what i think it should be, is never what it ends up being, im just not convinced yet that someone could feel the same way i would.

when jim breuer does 'goat boy' i still crack up laughing.

when i look at other people my age and younger i often wonder if i should change my 'style' to fit my age better. then i think, no, i dont want to.

id be happy like this when im older as long as money was ok and i could make art. oh and as long as my husband is as awesome as me. or even more so.

im a fan of baking. pretty good at it too.

to get the title of this i hit the next button on itunes while on shuffle an uncontrollable amount of times. and thats what i got. three dogs night. next was bonnie "prince" billy.

how pretty

2009-02-08T10:38:00.000-08:00

maybe i made it a bigger deal by trying not to make my birthday a big deal? i think thats possible. im surprised by the amount of attention people put into for me. both work friends and outside work friends. i felt very loved, and i appreciate that alot.

2009-02-03T22:16:00.000-08:00

I can see your eyes! We might as well get married!

Tyler School Of Art Moving To North Philly, Pledges To Cut More Glory Holes

There’s this big article today in the Inquirer about the Tyler School of Art finally moving its lazy ass from Elkins Park down to the main campus after twenty years of dithering. This should be good for Temple, because art kids, while sometimes ultra-irritating, tend to give a bit of a spark to their surroundings. Good for Temple, good (hopefully) for North Philly, etc. Probably more underage kids trying to sneak into our bars, but as long as they keep the moping to themselves and keep us informed of any developing awesomeness among the kids today, that’s cool.
But then, buried deep in the article, we come across this:

The school has come up with creative ways to squeeze them all in. A garage behind the aging mansion has been transformed into a glass studio. With only two “glory holes,” or furnaces, students have to show up at dawn to get a turn.

A garage. Behind a mansion in Elkins Park. Only two glory holes. Showing up at dawn to get a turn. We’re trying to work in a Bill Cosby joke here, but it’s not really working out.
Anyway, we know there have been staff cuts at the paper, but come on. This is the kind of thing you try to sneak into your middle school newspaper and see if the eighth grade English teacher/adviser catches you or naively thinks you’re too young to make glory hole jokes. Comments haven’t degenerated yet, because almost nobody but us actually read that far into the article, but one “johnnydomino” says “Nothing worse than having to get up early for your turn at the glory hole.” We agree. Sigh. We agree.

pay attention to me

2009-02-01T12:30:00.000-08:00

i feel like there arent many popular songs with my name in them, so i looked some up. this is what i found...

ben jelen.
Christine, she tells me that she's in love again
Christine, she says that she still loves me
She stands there calling my name in her boyfriend's jacket in the rain
I guess she's in love with the whole damn world
And the whole world loves her
Won't turn without her
It has to have her
I can't live without her
Just one moment with Christine
You know exactly what I mean
She stays a night and then she leaves
Just a little hope in between
One more moment with Christine
It's like a lifetime where've I been
I want to live to the extreme
I need another taste of Christine
Oh, I need another taste, another taste of Christine
Christine, the touch of another human touch
There whispered breath falling on your skin
I don't know where to begin
Well, I just arrived, now I'm locked in
And now I'm caught in your mixed up world
And the whole world loves you
Won't turn without you
It has to have you
I can't live without you
Just one moment with Christine
You know exactly what I mean
She stays a night and then she leaves
Just a little hope in between
One more moment with Christine
It's like a lifetime where've I been
I want to live to the extreme
Won't you tell me, who is Christine?
How many times will it take for me to learn?
Tell me, are we headed for nowhere?
Christine
How many times will it take for me to learn?
Tell me, are we headed for nowhere?
And the whole world loves her...
Just one moment with Christine
You know exactly what I mean
She stays a night and then she leaves
Just a little hope in between
One more moment with Christine
It's like a lifetime where've I been
I want to live to the extreme
I need another taste of Christine
How many times does it take to learn?
How many times does it take to learn?
How many times does it take to learn?
How many times does it take to learn?
Another taste of Christine...

sugarcult.
what's wrong?
i feel so alone again.
the look in your eyes sometimes...
pretending that it's all right.
make up and move on,
our ways never change
and i can get anyone that i want -
you'll see christine.
and i would do anything if you could believe in me,
but girl-you play those tricks
and make a fool out of me.
that's the way it goes here.
i can't stand loving you anymore.
i try my best, but i'm back for more.
my heart beat stops every time you leave me.
hanging on lately...
last night,
she came back into my life.
to play with my head this time.
she's hanging me out for dead
i take it and move on,
our ways will never change
and i can get anyone that i want -
you'll see christine.
and i would do anything if you could believe in me.
but girl, you play those tricks
and make a fool out of me.
that's the way it goes here.
i can't stand loving you anymore.
i try my best, but i'm back for more.
my heart beat stops every time you leave me.
hanging on lately...
take her away, take her away, take her away from this place.
take her away, take her away, take her away from this place.
what's wrong?
i feel so alone again.
i flunked out a thousand times,
it's making me realize,
that i'm back and better for us.
our ways will never change
and i can get anyone that i want -
you'll see christine.
and i would do anything if you could believe in me.
but girl, you play those tricks
and make a fool out of me.
you'll see, christine.

motorhead.
Hear her coming, 'bout 5 miles away,
That girl is something, know she gonna make my day,
Ah, She sure is fine, real good friend of mine,
I just wanna jump her bones all the time,
See her walking, she knows all the moves,
Fortune cookie, stand your toes up in your shoes,
Oh you can't believe, what she got up her sleeve,
Likes me fine, and that's just fine with me,
Christine, I'm going out of my mind, Like to drive me wild,
Red hot mama ain't no lie, So glad I caught your eye
Christine, you put your hands on me, I got electric blood
Come on over & do it again, Just like a bad girl should.
She moves like a rattlesnake made out of razorblades,
That girl can't help it, just the way she's made,
I would run all around the world, Just to see that girl,
She sure loves playing with the Ace of Spades.
Christine, I'm going out of my mind, Like to drive me wild,
Red hot mama ain't no lie, So glad I caught your eye
Christine, you put your hands on me, I got electric blood
Come on over & do it again, Just like a bad girl should.
Christine, I'm going out of my mind, Like to drive me wild,
Red hot mama ain't no lie, So glad I caught your eye
Christine, you put your hands on me, I got electric blood
Come on over & do it again, Just like a bad girl should.
Christine, see her walking, se her walking
My, my
Christine, I just wanna jump her bones,
She's my baby.

and the winner...

still great

2009-01-25T19:50:00.000-08:00

Do you know what I love the most?
Even suburbs would be o.k.
With you between my sheets
And the breeze in the window
'Cause we will go there and ignore all our neighbors
I think I'll bring you breakfast and play Johnny Cash on the stereo
I'll sit in the lazy chair all day remembering the things you do
So when you come home
I'll jump up to kiss you and it will knock you back
You'll fall over our TV set
I'll pick you up and dust you off
Oh, Baby let's give it a go
I'll kiss your thighs to make you feel all right
And then I'll get closer to taste a little sweat
Oh I think I'm rearing to go
You're gonna get knocked out and tied up in my trunk
In ten years we'll go to Ohio and steal Cadillac's for a living.

young boys, young girls

2009-01-25T11:38:00.000-08:00

when im out with friends i dont expect the conversation to be about what they put in their will. these are young guys. ill never get used to hearing them say what they want written on their headstone. i also cant get used to hearing someone i know is going to a warzone. this is stuff for movies, not real life.

positive thinking

2009-01-21T21:54:00.000-08:00

guaranteed to make me smile. i need to hangout with the phanatic. i dont want to actually see the person underneath. as far as im concerned this isnt a 'costume'. hes real.

2009-01-19T18:50:00.001-08:00

its an awkward stage grasping at anything

2009-01-19T14:04:00.000-08:00

i love doing laundry when im almost out of clothes. like when im down to the last few pairs of underwear that i dont really like to wear.i hate being sick with a head cold thing. mine always seem to last forever. but at least my voice hasnt disappeared...yet. my house is cold and the only place the heat wants to work is in my room. i go to sleep pretty early in this weather. reeses are made smaller now. lame. id like to start taking college classes again. not sure for what. im not ready for another major yet though i know that much. my mom will be graduating nursing school this summer. im so excited, shes pretty amazing. i drink coffee just because i find it comforting. i would love to one day sing on a stage for a crowd of people. but i have horrible stage fright. yet i love attention. just cant deal with all eyes on me. im glad my dad teaches me all the things he does so i can take care of myself living on my own. the best thing i learned from him was forgiveness and i dont even think he knows that. sneezing takes alot of energy from me. i look funny with no eye makeup on because of my blond eyelashes. i hope to get back to rome for an extended amount of time again. empire records will always make me happy. eventually i hope to have my own etching press. one day ill let myself be loved without pushing it away. im going to invent something. i need to get to california sometime soon. im a big fan of chick flicks, but that might just be because my life is like a bad one. oldies are great. yep.

i like this

crazy church party cirlce pit

when i lived in rome i became friends with some really cool italians. they go to shows, party and drink whiskey. good times. so my friend big simone ( we called him this because there was a simone piccolo (small), simone media (medium) and simone grande (large)). but hes not large, so big simone works better and sounds nicer. anyway, he would take me to these parties his friends were having on weekends. i ended up in this abandoned church, where squatters hangout, more than once. i could actually get there on my own. it was down some side street and up weird steps, kinda confusing to get to. seriously an old church in italy. still had the paintings on the walls/ceilings, dome roof. i was partying in something i learned about in my art history books. but this video is of a bunch of italians crammed inside the church dancing to music being played off someones laptop. you can almost hear 'should i stay or should i go now....' and you can definitely hear stevie (who was visiting for springbreak) scream 'CIRCLE PIT!' as all the kids start jumping around dancing. insane night, felt like i was in a movie. when you went outside the church there was people everywhere, smoking, drinking, hangingout. this same stuff happened at an old abandoned movie theater too. that one was pretty creepy. seats and everything still there.

big simone showed me alot of awesome things in rome. best dude. no touristy stuff, good bars, good people, good times.

want me to fix you some sandwiches

2009-01-06T16:14:00.000-08:00

gotta love youtube

2009-01-05T14:58:00.000-08:00

while randomly searching youtube i found this. loved this band, best singer. anytime i saw them play he would somehow find a way to get as high off the ground as he could, didnt care what he climbed on and destroyed to get there.

then i found my friends!

its hard to get by just upon a smile

2009-01-05T14:23:00.000-08:00

i like to think about how familiar ive become with this city in the past few years of living here. i get pretty happy with myself when someone ask me for directions and im able to tell them. whether it be how to get to a certain street, or a recommendation for a bar, restaurant, store, etc. in the area. when i first started coming here often i didnt know how to get anywhere. and this is since high school or middle school. i could get the train, know where that dropped me off, but couldnt get to too many other locations. i would stand on a corner, not knowing north, east, south, or west, and call geeble and have him be my map on the phone. luckily i can pick things up pretty quickly. now, i still need him for my map once in awhile but for the most part i got my shit together. and id even go as far as saying i got a pretty good sense of direction for a girl.

(while i was typing this, white zombie-thunder kiss '65, was playing. goodtimes)

who knows where thoughts come from? they just appear

2008-12-29T14:32:00.000-08:00

A.J.: Lucas, do you think it's possible for a person to be in love with someone else and not even know it?

Lucas: In this life there are nothing but possibilities.

A.J.: Well, that's good, because I have to tell Corey I love her by 1:37.

Lucas: That's an excellent time.

you know im such a fool for you

2008-12-28T15:41:00.000-08:00

a week or so ago geeble was singing linger from the cranberries, and he said that he heard someone else singing it at work, but they didnt even know what song they were humming. also jess was singing this too randomly at the host stand. the only reason i think this is so weird is because i had been listening to it pretty regular when everyone else seemed to have it in their head!

merry christmas, merry christmas

2008-12-23T23:48:00.000-08:00

i know, i know another animated lights video. but i needed this song.
every year for the past like 5 years or more my older brother has sang this song. but not the whole song, just 'merry christmas, merry christmas' over and over and over again. this past thanksgiving i brought up my favorite christmas song. right away all of my brothers knew it was this one. maybe it is my favorite now, because it has some memories with it. like walking around in the pizza shop with my older brother and twin listening to christmas music, mostly singing this song even if it wasnt on. annoying yes, funny always.

i like fish

2008-12-19T22:35:00.000-08:00

that band i mentioned in my first post wrote this song, wish i had it to put on here

i like fish
i like cadavers
i like lots of stuff on ritz crackers
i, i like you

(they forgot the words, and you cant understand them)

i like fish
i like bikes
i even kinda like dikes and

(chorus)
why do all the girls
cut off all their hair
why do all the girls

(more things you cant understand, something about liking jello pudding pops)
i really like you

i like math, timestables
when im at home i watch cable
i like to watch you

(more nothing...i think they say)
i like candles,
i dont think you can handle me
thats why you gotta be

(chorus)

hey everybody look at me im 1 part robot 3 parts asshole

2008-12-19T10:19:00.000-08:00

more about greece. i rode on the back of this motorino for springbreak. i was the only one who couldnt get their own because i didnt have a drivers license. i have one now! anyway, it worked out better this way. i was able to take videos and pictures that no one else could while driving. plus leah got some pretty sweet entertainment since i sang michael jackson songs to her all the way up the island. we started down at the mediterranean and rode up into mountains. this was an entire day thing for us, so we'd leave early and drive all over. we had goals to get from one side of the island of naxos to the other side. we didnt really have too much direction. but we didnt need it, it was springbreak, no one cared. and wow did it get cold as we got higher.

see what i mean about the pictures.... awesome, right? well once i got bored with how beautiful the land and all was, i started getting into the animals. sheep and goats everywhere. just wandering around freely, on the sides of the road, in the road wherever. i chased a few at some point. i was alittle more scared of them then they were of me i think. one night we decided we wanted to see some stars, so we drove away from all the light of the 'city' and climbed a mountain-ish hill. it was hard, no light but our tiny european cell phones. everything was going fine, ryan was leading the way, then we notice something moving. THEN i walked into an f-ing sheep! these fuckers were all sleeping and whatnot on this mountain side and we had no idea. i dont know what sheep do when you wake them up but we werent trying to find out. we started moving faster to get to the top. of course we made it, all went well, saw some stars and even shooting stars.

i put my itunes on shuffle, hit next 7 times cause i like that number and this is the song that came on....
frank sinatra- three coins in a fountain.

Three coins in a fountain
Each one seeking happiness
Thrown by three hopeful lovers
Which one will the fountain bless
Three hearts it a fountain
Each heart longing for its home
There they lie in the fountain
Somewhere in the heart of rome
Which one will the fountain bless
Which one will the fountain bless
Three coins in a fountain
Through the ripples how they shine
Just one wish will be granted
One heart will wear a valentine
Make it mine, make it mine, make it mine

this kind of music will always remind me of the kitchen in my grandparents house where they had it playing quietly all the time on the little black radio on the shelf. i walked through the kitchen to get to the back room where me and my brothers could watch cartoons while all the adults hungout in the living room. or sometimes we would go to the basement where the pool table was if my uncle cleaned it off for us. my grandfather sat in the chairs at the kitchen table a lot, in the one closest to the doorway leading outback usually. some of the last few times i saw him was in that spot. i am now sitting in that chair at that table as i type this. kinda weird to think about. i have a lot of things from my grandparents house. i tried to take as much as my family would let me even if i have no use for it. had i been living somewhere else i definitely would have taken their fake fireplace too. how awesome would that be to have. they used to keep it by the christmas tree each year. and my grandmom would walk around the house with a santa hat on singing christmas carols. i never asked her but i would bet christmas was her favorite holiday. she would come to my middle school chorus/band shows and sing along to every song, every year. my grandfather would take pictures. he always snapped pictures whether you wanted him to or not. and now when i look back, im glad he did. my childhood can be found in white envelopes with the date on them written in box type letters because he would put a ruler down when he wrote on things. so the bottom of each letter is straight. its funny how little details like that become so important.

p.s. i hit shuffle 16 more times after that song to make it 23, cause thats how old i am, and kings of leon-ragoo came on.

hooray

how great is that shadow?! totally looks like a guy standing on a giant bunny rabbit. i took this picture in greece on the island of naxos. beautiful island, but how could it not be when it creates shadows like this one! this entertained me for awhile.
i was told by my friend ryan that it was too disrespectful to this greek god statue if i laid with him. he looked lonely. who knows how long he's been laying there like that, i just wanted to keep him some company.

i lived in rome, italy. it was great. i saw the sistine chapel. i took a picture even though you werent supposed to. i woke up super early, traveled across the city in my last week in rome because my mom and the women she worked with kept bugging me about going to the vatican. ive passed it numerous times and was never too interested to go inside. so finally i did because i knew what would be waiting for me on the other side....

THE POPENER! a beer taste that much better when he opens it for you. i went outside the vatican and bought 13 of these. my favorite souveneir. it doesnt get much better than this. its not easy to explain to someone why you need 13 bottle openers when you barely speak their language. i think he eventually understood. either that or i made him so uncomfortable he wanted to get rid of me

im not really against the world... at least not yet.

this name (sull against the world) came from a band my friends had when we were in high school. yep, named after me cause i'm that awesome. you can still google it http://www.purevolume.com/sullagainsttheworld and listen to the songs they played. we used to hangout in the studio they recorded in and im pretty sure it was haunted. actually im just gonna go ahead and say, yes, that studio is haunted. we were supposed to have a sleepover there one night to prove it, but that never happened. geeble told me to use this name for the blog. thats him over there on the left. hes sitting at the patco station in haddonfield new jersey waiting for the train with a bunch of friends. its pretty late, maybe close to 4am. i may or may not have urinated behind a wall while waiting for the train. goodtimes.
