3:18 pm	Hi everyone! I am really bad at this livejournal thing. I think this entry number 8 for me lol :). Seems like a lot has been happening the past few months. I now know people who live in Arizona...that is fun. Though I am sad that I will not see you guys when I get back in August. I am winding down my time in the east coast - trying to not kill the people I live with- love them very much but NEED SPACE! I will be living with my mom when I get back up on 22nd ave. Hopefully I will be working with AmeriCorps as a teacher's assistant I have an interview on Wednesday...wish me luck! The east coast is humid and stupid. Anyways that is about it for me. Trying to not feel guilty about leaving my clients-they give me a hard enough time about leaving already. Looking forward to hanging out with those who are still in Seattle. Will miss seeing those who are not. I am glad though that you all have a "fresh" start. Pray for it not to go above 90 degrees anymore...I just might go crazy. or go more crazy...Love and miss you all. Taylor Current Mood: sleepy (2 Comments |Comment on this)

2:26 pm	I just wanted to thank everyone for the lovely presents and apologize for not spending more time with everyone. It was such a hectic and tiring visit ack! Life here is pretty much the same. I had a real difficult time adjusting back to living with five other people again. I was really homesick for a while again but now I am doing better. I have a retreat this weekend it should be nice and well lets face it annoying as well. It is really cold here I hate it. I went to Portland ME this past weekend for a party. Portland is very beautiful. I also stripped some JV men of their shirts...luckily I did this with the help of another JV female so I do not feel as embarrassed :) Then we all took turns rolling on an exercise ball - I damaged my shoulder a little but the bruising has started to disappear...yep that is all that is going on over here on the east coast. Love you all. Hope you are all doing well! (1 Comment |Comment on this)

3:27 pm	Christmas wish list Okay here are some material things that I would like this Christmas per someone's request :) Tutti Dolci Indulgent Lotion & Lip Gloss Creme Brulee found at Bath and Body works Neutrogena Fresh foaming cleanser, combination skin moisture, and Pore Refining Mattifier found at most drug stores Neutrogena SkinClearing® oil-free compact foundation classic porcelain And a bronzer+ brush from whatever line however it has to be the lightest bronzer because I am so pale and I don't want to look orange... ohh and since we get to put things that no one could possibly buy on there too I would like a bottle of COCO MADEMOISELLE and of course world peace and an end to hunger, aids, and the lack of funding for education through out the world. That is all I can think of specifically...I like stuff though so anything would be fine...books I like books oooh pablo naruda poetry and I like music and stuff....ok the end (Comment on this)

10:59 am	sleepy Last night I went to the Spigot and watched the Yankee's wail on the Red Sox. It was a lot of fun especially because there is such a focus on the rivalry here in connecticut people here go with either team. I am, however, incredibly sleepy because I once again had to try and play damage control with one of my roommates who is having a tough time fitting in with everyone. I am trying to be there for her because she is a real sweet girl but it is hard to do so at midnight knowing that I have to get up at 6 to be to work on time. I don't know what to tell her because she says that she is not being able to portray her normal self to us because she still doesn't feel comfortable with everyone but her passive aggressive behavior is getting on everyone's nerves including mine. In some ways we have all bonded together by making fun of her behavior and by feeling irritated by her. I don't know if that can be repaired at this point and she thinks that she cannot say anything without getting snapped at or being misunderstood. She is able to sit down and tell me this because she feels comfortable with me and I thank god for that because if I never had any one on one conversations with her I would be ten times more irritated with her then I already am....I just don't know what to do she feels alienated from the group she just has no adult interactive social skills but how do you tell someone that without offending them greatly. And it is hard for me to not talk about her with everyone else because I agree with them about her behavior and then I feel like a hypocrite for being there for her and trying to communicate what everyone is thinking and not saying to her without directly doing so. I am so afraid that she is going to be alienated for the rest of the year and never catch up to the rest of the group which has a good dynamic. I am so sleepy I know that I am not making any sense whatsoever. On a happy note I get to tutor today and I am really excited about it!!! yay...I cannot wait for the weekend I feel exhausted.

1:57 pm	Weirdness Today I feel very odd. We have a retreat this weekend and I am not looking forward to it at all. I think that I am in a bad place in regard to living with community right now. I am so tired of being around people all the time. I know that I can just go into my room to be alone but I never do. I just need a break...I don't know. I also feel very lonely which is ridiculous since I am surrounded by people all the time. I hope this weekend turns out well because as of right now I am not too optimistic.

9:08 am	Yesterday I was in a really pissy mood and I don't know why. However, after my 11 hour day at work I saw a film on this guy who was a disc jockey on Haiti's only independent radio station it was incredible. Afterwords we had discussion with the film maker about the current situation in Haiti. So during this time I felt a lot better. Once I got home though I was pissy again. I think I might be getting sick I have a sore throat. This weekend we are all going to Boston so I am excited about that. I hope that it will be a lot of fun even though I am really broke.

9:28 am	Live Journal So this is very new for me I am not really too sure of what to say and it is 9:30 in the morning so I am tired. Let me see...yesterday Matt, Mary, Alyssa and I all went hiking and it was wonderful. It reminded me of home a lot and it was real good to get out of ugly Hartford. I am more and more regretting the drunken make out session with my roommate. I find myself being liking him which is a problem since he has been dating his girlfriend for like five years and they are pretty much married. I also think that the attraction primarily is a result of our little make out session and his proximity to me at all times. Oh well I am sure it will pass and I think that it would be most wise never to let another make out session occur. Well I guess that is it...my mood overall would be a little vulnerable because we had spirituality night last night and we were supposed to identify our weaknesses it was not fun. okay I should actually do some work now...Love Taylor (1 Comment |Comment on this)
