ya mean there's a side of dana i haven't seen? & here i thought she was a nice little old lady hahaha an old lady? -grandma at dinner

yeah, so, sorry home, but lately i've been feeling like i'd rather be at school. i have off today, & well woo wee, look at me go. i'm currently lacking the want to call people. do i get bored? yes, but it's like i can't think of a better alternative. i talked to kala today, but she's sick. other than that i made no attempt to contact the outside world. sometimes this sort of behavior makes me feel like a real bitch. i'm just not amused. i thought about scrapbooking, cuz that's amusing in its own way, but i don't have all my pictures developed to really add a fair section of college life to the mix. sigh sigh sigh...

well i read yvone's blog, as i always do, & took note of her proclaiming it to be more of a journal. i can sympathize with this, less zany antics happen at home. plus, we've been writing about college folk for so long that it's as if people will b like uhm, who r these new ppl & wth r u writing about them? for instance, i'm sure that sarah & i buying the same pants didn't enlighten anyone's life in the slightest. now would mocking ben have been any more enlightening? ehh, though this is highly doubtful, at least that'd b humorous... well, potentially. joy.

my dad made me a shirley temple. he then asked me three seperate times if it was to my liking. meanwhile, grandma laughed & said that he should b giving me something a bit more potent than a shirley temple. oh grandma... she's always ready to argue my right to intoxication. now that's a gal with irish in her. actually, i'm not quite sure if grandma is irish... but i am... so uh, yeah. grandma is cool either way

i watched a beautiful mind today. it's really not the same after you're in the know. i mean it's still a good movie, but the first time it totally fooled me & i was all like what what? now i was just like ahh... i c... word

it's nasty out for like the 5th day in a row. wth. i really feel bad for anyone from home who reads this & takes note of my lack of enthusiasm for being, well, here... but ehh. i was initially told that there were big plans for the summer & that they wanted to keep me distracted from my alter ego lifestyle. don't get me wrong, i love 'em... but it's been 3 wks now, & i dunno, i just can't shake the feeling that something has changed. oh college, they don't lie about u. it really does change u somehow... & i really can't explain it. oh hurrah... i just keep hoping that this is just me being a stupid girl & that soon i'll be frolicking along the rolling hills once more. sigh. in the meantime... i am still in miss mode... perhaps if there were *sun* that'd help a bit. i'd like to go swimming or something. man, i haven't gone swimming in ages. now that'd b amusing.

no one ever goes camping anymore. when i was little we used to go every year in the poconos. sarah & i decided the other day that this would b amusing. there's always a lotta talk around here, so we'll see...

sometimes i think my blog may mumble on & i'm like awh, who wants to look & see all this burdensome reading b4 them? but hey man, u choose this. & if ur sitting on ur computer scoping out my blog then let's face it, ur bored too. that's just the way it goes. as kim pointed out in her away message yesterday, summer vacation always seems to be synomous with boredom... why is that

hurrah hurrah. alright, here's today's email fun-

The Five Stages Of Drunk:

Stage 1 - SMART
This is when you suddenly become an expert on every subject in
the known Universe. You know you know everything and want to
pass on your knowledge to anyone who will listen. At this
stage you are always RIGHT. And of course the person you are
talking to is very WRONG. This makes for an interesting
argument when both parties are SMART.

Stage 2 - GOOD LOOKING
This is when you realize that you are the BEST LOOKING person
in the entire bar and that people fancy you. You can go up to
a perfect stranger knowing they fancy you and really want to
talk to you. Bear in mind that you are still SMART, so you can
talk to this person about any subject under the sun.

Stage 3 - RICH
This is when you suddenly become the richest person in the
world. You can buy drinks for the entire bar because you have an armored truck
full of money parked behind the bar. You can also make bets at this stage,
because of course, you are still SMART, so naturally you win all your bets. It
doesn't matter how much you bet 'cos you are RICH. You will also buy drinks for
everyone that you fancy, because now you are the BEST LOOKING person in the
world.

Stage 4 - BULLET PROOF
You are now ready to pick fights with anyone and everyone
especially those with whom you have been betting or arguing.
This is because nothing can hurt you. At this point you can also go up to the
partners of the people who you fancy and challenge to a battle of wits or money.
You have no fear of losing this battle because you are SMART, you are RICH and
hell, you're BETTER LOOKING than they are anyway!

Stage 5 - INVISIBLE
This is the Final Stage of Drunkenness. At this point you can
do anything because NO ONE CAN SEE YOU. You dance on a table
to impress the people who you fancy because the rest of the
people in the room cannot see you. You are also invisible to
the person who wants to fight you. You can walk through the
street singing at the top of your lungs because no one can see
or hear you and because you're still SMART you know all the
words.

alright, i feel like some pictures. to keep with that theme, let's look up drunk people:
