Yay! Justin’s coming to visit me next Friday!
He’s flying into Boston and jumping on the Commuter Rail. I’m going to pick him up at the train station. Originally I was going to meet him at the airport and we were going to spend the night in Boston. My Mom has to work though so we had to put it off a night.
We’re spending Saturday night in Boston at a Hotel right on the Waterfront. We’ll probably spend Saturday around Newbury Street. I want to show Justin all the cool shops. We’ll also probably see the rest of the Freedom Trail that we didn’t get to finish last time he was here. Depending on weather we can stand to walk around in the freezing cold that long or not. It’s supposed to only be 30 degrees all week.
I also want to do the Ghost tour if we have the time and money. I’ve lived in Massachusetts my whole life but never gone on it. They go around to all the old cemeteries in Boston and tell creepy stories. We’ll probably go out to dinner Saturday night. I kind of want to eat dinner at The Dropkick Murphy’s bar. It opened last year but I haven’t got the chance to go yet. I’m not sure about that yet though. I’m just glad we’ll get to spend some time alone at the hotel.
Sunday I think we’re going to the Museum of Fine Arts. I absolutely LOVE that place and haven’t got the chance to go in about ten years. Justin loves History as much as I do so I’d really like him to see it.
I’m so happy that I’ll get to spend Thanksgiving with him this year!

Okay new layout’s finally up. It took me a lot longer than I expected. There’s still a few things to work on. I think it will be easier to navigate. Plus, I was getting sick of green. Let me know if it’s blinding or anything.
Tomorrow is my best friends sons first birthday. I got him this toy that Ryan used to LOVE at that age. It’s a little plastic thing that shoots out plastic balls. Kids seem to love chasing them around. They can also push them back in. Plus they laugh when the air bursts out. My Mom got him a little Fisher price boat with animals on it that looks like Noah’s Ark. ( Sarah’s religious )
I can’t wait until true Blood episode 3 comes on tonight. This series is amazing. I can’t say it enough.
Time to catch up on comments!

So, I just spent the majority of my day on the phone with Sprint. I’ve had Nextel for years, ever since Sprint bought them I’ve had nothing but problems.
Back in June I went to my account online and tried to change my plan to unlimited. Ryan calls Justin and Chris all day and was using up my thousand minutes in no time at all. So I figured the plan went through. A month later I get a huge phone bill. So I call them yelling about how my plan was switched to unlimited, and come to find out the website was messed up and it never went through. So I pay that Bill and he promises it will be switched over.
Now this month they finally came out with a Sprint phone that would work with Nextel Direct Connect. So of course I bought it since I’ve been waiting YEARS for a simply “decent” phone compatible with Nextel. It wouldn’t auto activate so I tried online. Online kept erroring so I called. By the end of the night I had spent over five hours on the phone with them before it got activated.
99% of the workers could barely even speak English. I couldn’t understand a word half of them said. And every single time they put me on hold they HUNG UP ON ME. Finally after hours and it supposedly being settled. I went to sleep. The next morning I woke up to over 20 text messages from them about services being added and removed. They even CALLED me and apologized for it and said everything was now *FINALLY* fixed.
Well I guess it wasn’t because my Mom stomped up my stairs screaming over a 500+$ bill telling me to have fun paying it.
I called then flipping out and what does the first girl do? PUTS ME ON HOLD AND HANGS UP ON ME. Finally I got someone nice who could speak English, (which is a MIRACLE with this damn company ) and her supervisor lifted all the charges. I’m still pretty pissed though. The whole situation was ridiculous.

Frogs have always been my favorite thing. My room is covered in frog things. I even had an amazing gold frog ring with emerald eyes that my mom searched everywhere for to surprise me with on my 12th bday. Too bad some loser stole it.. But anyway! A rare frog has been filmed for the first time. And it looks exactly like the frog on Silverchairs first album frogstomp. I’m so interested. LOL
An incredibly rare frog has been filmed for the first time, scientists believe.
The red-eyed stream frog is found in Costa Rica, but it is now thought to be critically endangered.
The tiny, vividly coloured frog was spotted by a team from the University of Manchester, Chester Zoo and Costa Rican naturalists.
The frog was caught on camera by BBC News, which is following the researchers as they are working on frog conservation programmes.
Andrew Gray, from Manchester Museum at the University of Manchester, who is leading the expedition, said: “This frog has been classified as being one of the most critically endangered frogs in Costa Rica. see video and rest of article

Ever since I was in Kindergarten I’ve LOVED to read. Library hour once a week was my favorite time of the school week in elementary school. I’d sit there the whole hour flipping through pages looking for what books I was going to read that week. I even had my mom write the Librarian a note giving permission for me to get books from the older age sections.
Reading has always relaxed me in a way nothing else can. Laying down on the couch curling up with a book and a Cider Jack is still the most relaxing thing I can do.
It’s better than watching a movie or TV because the stories come alive in your head, the stories, characters, all pictured in the way YOU see them. Characters can’t be ruined by preconcieved visuals such as in movies. Example: Snape from Harry Potter. In the book I LOVE HIM. He even seems like he’d be hot as hell. Yet in the movie they make him look all old and dirty.
Like Cetta said sometimes we end up comparing people we know to characters in specific series. Espcially from George R R Martin’s “A Song Of Ice and Fire”. But I don’t know if that’s normal or not..
In the same way when I’m reading a book the characters faces sometimes become those of people I know.
Anyway, Reading means a lot to me. It always has.

I’m not republican but this made me laugh my ass off because I hate Obama.
Stolen from Hillbilly Willy
A Liberal teacher in Lafayette, Tennessee asked her 6th grade class how many of them were Obama fans.
Not really knowing what an Obama fan is, but wanting to be liked by the teacher, all the kids raised their hands except for Little Johnny. The teacher asked Little Johnny why he has decided to be different…again.
Little Johnny said, “Because I’m not an Obama fan.”
The teacher asked, “Why aren’t you an Obama fan?”
Johnny said, “Because I’m a Republican.”
The teacher asked him why he’s a Republican. Little Johnny answered, “Well, my Mom’s a Republican and my Dad’s a Republican, so I’m a Republican.”
Not satisfied with his answer, the teacher asked, “If your mom was a Moron and your dad was an Idiot, what would that make you?”
With a big smile, Little Johnny replied,*”That would make me an Obama fan!”
